Beyonce’s Parkwood Entertainment company yesterday bought out British retailer Arcadia Group Ltd, the co-owner of the Ivy Park fashion brand.
Arcadia chairman Philip Green is currently being investigated for sexual and racial harassment, as former British cabinet minister Peter Hain reported. Hain also said Green was granted a court injunction to keep the British press from reporting the accusations, which Green has denied. Campaigners had urged Beyonce to sever ties with Green.
Previously, Parkwood and Arcadia each owned 50% of Ivy Park. The clothing company released a statement on Thursday announcing the decision, although it did not reference Green’s case.
“After discussions of almost a year, Parkwood has acquired 100% of the Ivy Park brand. Topshop-Arcadia will fulfill [sic] the existing orders,” the statement obtained by the Financial Times read.
Beyonce co-founded the athleisure brand in 2016 through Parkwood, with British retailer Topshop as an equal partner. Arcadia owns numerous clothing retailers, including Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, and Miss Selfridge. A fan site released the reported 2017 financial statement for Ivy Park, which allegedly had a $23 million turnover, with losses around $3.5 million.
The “Lemonade” singer isn’t the only celebrity to end their relationship with Green; “X-Factor” judge Simon Cowell has also forced the business tycoon from holding shares in his company, Syco Entertainment. | <urn:uuid:2c25fe4e-f0da-4890-9a98-751c3dfdac8b> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | http://webtopnews.com/beyonce-buys-out-ivy-park-from-billionaire-businessman-reports-11284-2018/ | 2019-10-18T16:08:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986684226.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20191018154409-20191018181909-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.969795 | 309 |

- NG2: Nothing stains your whites like werewolf blood.
It's probably a good thing Game On wasn't around to review Ninja Gaiden when it hit Xbox in 2004 — we probably would've written "an awesome, brutal, majestic action masterpiece," then filled the rest of the space with crude crayon drawings of ninjas. Because really, there'd be nothing else to say.
It's easier to ramble on about Ninja Gaiden II, which in some ways isn't a good sign. The original set the bar so high that it's not just the competition that falls short: The game's own sequel suffers in comparison. NG2 is just as intense, fast, flashy, and challenging as you would hope. But the game's lack of polish, coupled with an equally disappointing lack of ambition, renders it not quite as laudable as its predecessor.
The real difference here — and the one Tecmo hyped in its NG2 publicity campaign — is the bloodshed, and lots of it. Nothing like the Nerf batons wielded in Soul Calibur, the swords here actually cut — and cut deep, leaving splashes of blood and sundry appendages to litter every map you tear through. Then it cranks the carnage to 11 by pouring on hordes of foes; a few of the battles here number more enemies than there were in all of NG1. One fight later on in the game, up a long staircase, features a mob of ninjas so thick they seem to cascade down the steps to meet you, like a black-garbed waterfall swirling with razor blades. It might be discouraging if you had more than a split second to actually take it all in; instead, it's merely sublime.
In terms of that sort of over-the-top awesomeness, NG2 delivers. One battle takes place in a coliseum filled with thousands of werewolf spectators, who naturally decide to jump the wall and run you down when you get the upper hand on their champion. Then there are the zombies armed with chain saws and bazookas — that's zombies, armed with chain saws and bazookas! To some, that would merit a 10 out of 10 right there.
But for all of NG2's spectacular highs, there are some unforgivable lows. Most of all, the game just feels unfinished, exhibiting a clunkiness that's especially jarring after NG1's technical brilliance. Every possible goof is represented here: slowdowns, stutters, glitches — even a few crashes. That's PC shit, man.
Even the mania of NG2's action is a mixed blessing. Yes, the game offers a spectacular, satisfyingly difficult challenge with an insanely deep combat system. But the crowds of foes can't help but change the feel of the game significantly, almost smothering everything else. NG1's strategic, measured action is no more — now it's combat played in the snug confines of milliseconds, a game of perpetual evasion and survival by the skin of your teeth.
Later on, there's a moment of unusual quiet: As you walk slowly through a bamboo forest, a few ninjas lie in waist-deep grass, waiting to spring an ambush. After getting nailed by a few, you start creeping through the bracken, baiting attackers into showing themselves and engaging them one-on-one.
More moments like that — levels where you slink in shadows and engage the enemy on your own terms, rather than charging like a freight train through a Ginsu factory — might have resulted in a more satisfying experience. As it is, NG2's badassery is as admirable as it is exhausting. | <urn:uuid:dc9f576e-6a8a-4910-8819-08d8f902ee16> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | https://m.clevescene.com/cleveland/ninja-gaiden-ii-for-xbox-goes-heavy-on-the-gore-and-glitches/Content?oid=1506253 | 2018-04-24T11:05:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125946597.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20180424100356-20180424120356-00266.warc.gz | en | 0.958353 | 750 |

A few general leads may help ...
First, HP has had a VLIW RISC device out for a while, PA-RISC, I
think.. Following leads from there may get you to some literature
that discusses compilation, and performance optimization.
The joint effort by Intel and HP, producing the IA-64, also invovles a
VLIW machine, the instruction groups are VLIWs. Their sites may also
have material on compilers and scheduling issues per optimization.
In addition to being VLIW in character, Intel's IA-64 reveals a major
trend away from idealistic RISC design. The stack in IA-64 is strongly
indicative of accomplishments by Sun in execution time performance
boosting. To get that gain the code generator must cognize the
floating stack top.
You can project forward from IA-64 to any group or site that is
promising, say a linux, for the IA-64 and see if these sites have
available documentation or references to such publishings. There are
some pretty smart folks working on this sort of stuff, but the
commercial projects are likely currently preoccupied with just getting
validity, not optimization (but that is mere speculation).
I honestly believe you can get good leads if you agressively pursue
the webmasters at the HP and Intel sites.
Considering the locale of the vendors of the leading (see P.S. on
'leading' below) hardware, it is not unlikely that you could get
excellent leads to documentation and to experts if you search at the
Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.
If it would be useful to you for me to try to assist you to find other
specific URLs, please email me.
Second, less exact, most of the RISC machines involve superscalar
internals that lead to consideration of optimizing code generation in
terms of inter-dependencies in data flow and control flow. It is not
an exact response to your question, but the literature on optimized
parallel code execution, in general, relates to your interests in
performance techniques. Superscalars harnessed to intricate
dispatcher/completer devices are just VLIW machines with flexible
length instruction words.
VLIWs machines, for example, have available null subfields that allow
them to also vary instruction content, even if in a fixed width. That
is it took until the later part of the twentieth century for mankind
to be intelligent enough to re-invent the zero, which is what a null
Thirdly, you indicated "Also I would be glad if you could provide me
with articles and journals in this topic as soon as possible." Well,
..., I am a novice I assure you, but you should ask for an extension
to whatever is driving you to a short deadline. The subject of
improving the performance of compilers for VLIW and related
architectures is large.
Indeed, anything that has a parallel execution of two or more
instructions is a VLIW in behavior, even if multiple instructions are
not accessed simulaneously. For example, the Advanced Micro Devices
Am29000 has a 'delayed' branch instruction. It takes a cycle or so to
do its thing. Meanwhile the _next_ instruction also executes! Takes
some planning to generate code for that properly, any literature that
generalizes about such scheduling relates to your interest. At a
tangent, no doubt, but I am just saying the isssue is large, and the
material to date is not necessarily organized under the title VLIW.
Since you post from Ra.MsState.Edu then maybe you want the latest,
greatest, and most likely to be widely distributed device, so go for
the IA-64 and see if you can find the literature that guided them to
predicates. Let me know if you would like assistance towards more
P.S. To those familiar with other VLIWs that have actually hit the
pavement, the above post is not meant to diminish their significance,
nor express the likelihood that the best available docs are along the
HP/Intel path. Instead, the miopia is just clear representation of my
limited exposure, and I too would really like leads to other VLIW
architecture that has actually been wired.

A contra account exists to offset the balance of a related and corresponding account. A contra account is a perfect example of the debit and credit system, which is one of the most fundamental concepts in accounting.
In accounting, a debit transaction indicates an asset or an expense transaction. On the other hand, a credit transaction indicates a liability or gain.
In a contra account, since things are recorded to offset the balance of the corresponding account, transactions are represented in a way opposite to the norm. For example, an asset is recorded as a credit instead of a debit.
A more specific example, for the same situation, would be in the case of an account that records accumulated amortization. To balance the debit associated with the amortization, a contra account is recorded with the amortized amount recorded as a credit on its balance sheet. Again, this is done simply to ensure that there is a balance in the debits and credits in the accounting books.
Contra accounts are not limited to recording a debit as a credit. They can also work the other way around, as long as the function of having an account to offset the balance of the corresponding account is fulfilled. In cases where the credit is recorded as a debit, the contra account is referred to as a contra liability. For our example above, since the account shows a credit, it is called a contra asset account. | <urn:uuid:d3681272-6427-47c4-b7fb-1653743c1ee9> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.businesspundit.com/encyclopedia/accounting-2/contra-account/ | 2015-07-02T21:29:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375095671.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031815-00050-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.951163 | 281 |
Come to the City of Kansas City, Missouri Health Department (KCHD) to get childhood immunization shots. The State of Missouri requires that all student immunizations are up to date prior to the first day of school. Additionally, most school districts with schools located in Kansas City, Mo., will not allow a student to attend school unless the districts have satisfactory evidence on file that the student has been immunized.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintains a list of recommended and required immunizations:
- Recommended Immunizations for Children (Birth through 6 years): English, Spanish
- Recommended Immunizations for Preteens and Teens (7-18 years): English, Spanish
For children meeting Federal Vaccine for Children (VFC) guidelines, all childhood immunizations are free of charge for Kansas City, Mo., residents; however, effective August 1, 2017, KCHD is implementing an “Out of Jurisdiction” (OOJ) fee for Childhood Immunization clients, as it has similarly been done for the Adult/Travel or Fee for Service OOJ clients. For children that live outside of Kansas City, Mo., proper, there will be a:
- $10 fee for the first child;
- $5 fee for each additional child within the same family.
Regular clinic hours:
- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday | 8am – 11:30am and 1pm – 4 pm.
- Thursday 8am – 1pm (registration closes at 12:30pm on Thursdays).
- During the back-to-school rush, the immunization clinic may reach full capacity early and KCHD services may not be available for all walk-in clients.
- Please note: exemption cards can be obtained without an appointment during normal immunization clinic hours on Thursdays. Each child receiving a card must first be registered.
Registration closes a half-hour before the clinics.
Children under the age of 18 need to be accompanied by parent/legal guardian. If child is not accompanied by parent or legal guardian, then a letter, written and signed, from the parent/guardian must accompany child. The letter needs to include the parent/guardian’s name, the child’s name, the name of the person accompanying the child and a number where parent/guardian can be reached.
A copy of the child’s previous shot record is needed. The person accompanying the child must also provide proof of identification in the form of a picture ID.

Paris rightfully claims many world-class distinctions, not the least of which is its position as one of the planet’s great culinary capitals. That claim-to-fame is enhanced by the historic backdrop of marvelously preserved buildings, churches, cobbled streets and sidewalk terraces which serve as the set upon which Paris’s dining scene is played out.
Paris confronts us with so much history and so much exquisite food and wine, it has always made sense to me to combine the two whenever possible, especially since the opportunity to dine in historic settings is perhaps the closest the modern visitor can come to tangibly experiencing a slice of history.
Eating is the most basic of human activities and shared pleasures. The sensations of taste and the pleasures of wine were the same for Julius Caesar, Louis XIV and Napoleon as they are for us today. Food and drink are a common bond connecting us to our our ancestors. By eating where they ate and, if possible, eating what they ate, one enjoys an interactive brush with the Past that surpasses the dry pages of history books or sterile strolls through museums.
You’ll never meet Ernest Hemingway or Picasso, but in Paris you can eat in the same cafés, and often at the same tables, as these legends. You can commune with the creative geist of George Gershwin over a cocktail in the basement piano bar where he composed An American in Paris, or you can dine in the houses where Lafayette lived, Voltaire died and Louis XIII was proclaimed king.
Sharing History across the dining table is an important part of our escorted trips to the City of Light and one of the reasons why our Moveable Feast excursions are so special. Fine dining establishments abound in every major city of the world, but to dine well in the kind of historic settings that we research and reserve provides a unique experience which you won’t find at home. And isn’t a unique experience why you come to Paris in the first place?
As an example, the following is a recap of the three dinners we’ll be hosting on our upcoming “Moveable Feast” trip this October.
Situated a few blocks south of the Paris Opera, Drouant overlooks the quiet and historic square, Place Gaillon. It has occupied this location since its opening in 1880 under the direction of an Alsatian restaurateur, Charles Drouant. By the beginning of the 1900’s, its regular clientele included the artists Renoir, Pissaro and Rodin and it was well established as one of the city’s fine dining spots. It retains that reputation to this day. While notable for its cuisine, especially since being acquired in 2006 by 3-star Michelin Chef, Antoine Westermann (Another Alsatian native), it is still most famous as the site of the annual Prix Goncourt presentation.
The Prix Goncourt is a literary prize awarded to the best new French author of the year; the equivalent of the American Pulitzer Prize. The Goncourt brothers were writers, publishers and literary critics who counted the great literary figures of Belle Époque Paris as their peers. Younger brother Jules died at the age of 39 from syphilis; an all-too-common occurrence in 19th-century Paris. With older brother Edmond’s death in 1903 his estate endowed the prize in Jules’ honor. For the past 102 years (beginning in 1914) the committee that administers the prize meets for lunch on the second Tuesday of each month at Drouant to discuss candidates, and in November the lucky recipient is invited to Drouant for lunch to receive his/her award. Some of the more illustrious recipients include Marcel Proust, André Malreaux and Simon de Beauvoir.
While the downstairs décor has been modernized in recent years, there is one room on the second floor which has remained unchanged for over a century – Le Salon Goncourt. This oval shaped chamber, encased in rich paneling, accommodates exactly 16 guests; the 15 members of the committee and the recipient. It is the most coveted table in Paris on the day of the presentation and it is in this historic private dining room that the 16 members of our Moveable Feast group will dine on our first night in Paris.
A multi-course menu prepared under the direction of a Michelin-star chef to the accompaniment of perfectly paired wines, with the ghosts of Marcel Proust and Simon De Beauvoir, in a sumptuous yet intimate private room rich in history . . . Not a bad way to launch a week in Paris, n’est-ce pas?
Dinner Cruise, aboard LE CALIFE:
A “must” for every visitor to Paris is a boat tour on the River Seine. It is one of those “Oh so touristy, but oh so fun” experiences and it does actually provide an excellent panorama of many of the great monuments, churches and museums. It is especially impressive if done at night when all the riverside monuments are spectacularly illuminated. The famous Bateaux Mouches boats ply the river hourly, their prerecorded loudspeakers describing the sights in spurts of French, English, Spanish and German. The problem with the Bateaux Mouches is the crush of humanity which is loaded like cattle onto these large vessels, and the cacophony of gabbing tourists, selfie-taking teens and impolite provincial bumpkins, all of whom detract mightily from an otherwise enjoyable 60 minute aquatic circuit of the city.
The solution to this challenge finds its best recourse in an upscale dinner cruise in a smaller, well-appointed boat, reserved specifically for a more genteel clientele. Our research has led us to select one boat in particular based on quality of food and overall experience: Le Calife
We are always impressed by the excellence of the cuisine and the presentation, especially considering that all the food is prepared on-board. Champagne and better-than average wines accompany the meal.
The dining deck is enclosed in large glass panes to provide quiet and to ward off potential wind and weather challenges. The cruise is perfectly timed to pass the Eiffel Tower at exactly 10:00 pm when the Tower illuminates the skyline with thousands of twinkling lights across its entire surface.
While Le Calife is not a historical treasure per se, it does allow us to combine a wonderful meal with a survey of some of the most historic and iconic landmarks of the City of Light. It is truly one of those “Not so touristy, but oh so fun” memories that our Moveable Feast friends take home with them.
AUBERGE NICOLAS FLAMEL:
For a combination of fine cuisine and historic surroundings this restaurant ranks near the top of our Ten-Best list. How many other dining spots can claim a rising gourmet chef providing a fabulous multi-course tasting menu in the oldest house in Paris; a house built over 600 years ago by a famous wizard?
Nicolas Flamel was an actual historical personage whose posthumous saga has become the stuff of legends. He was born almost 700 years ago and spent his life as a successful scribe and manuscript seller. Following his death, stories began to circulate that his earthly wealth was due to his discovery of an ancient text which contained the secret of the Philosopher’s Stone, a formula for turning base metals like lead into gold, and for achieving immortality (One version of his legend claims that he still lives). While Nicolas’ prosperity was actually the result of a fortuitous marriage to a wealthy widow, the legend continued to grow and Nicolas has come down to us today as one of the great alchemists of all time. The alchemist/wizard reputation gained new momentum recently when Nicolas’ legend was woven into one of J.K. Rowling’s novels, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
Regardless of the source of Flamel’s wealth, he and his wife were generous benefactors of several churches and charitable causes. With their wealth they endowed fourteen hospitals, three chapels, seven churches and several houses. In 1407 they completed a house intended as a refuge for the poor and homeless. The house still stands and its founding date makes it the oldest surviving house in Paris. The poor were allowed to stay there in return for nothing more than offering a few daily prayers. One of those prayers is still inscribed above the entrance.
For the past several years the building has housed a very upscale restaurant under the direction of Alan Geaam, a rising chef with two other highly rated restaurants in Saint-Germain-des-Pres and Les Halles. His Menu de Degustation (Tasting Menu) is a five course marvel. We always opt for the 5 wine pairings that accompany the meal. We think you’ll enjoy it as much as we do; definitely a meal fit for a wizard.
The selection of historic eateries changes on each of our seven day excursions. Future trips will include places like:
- LE PROCOPE: The oldest café in Paris, founded in 1686.
- LE TRAIN BLEU: The city’s most opulent dining hall, built for the World Exposition of 1900.
- CAFÉ DE LA PAIX: A registered landmark restaurant near the Opera where Europe’s royalty and America’s elite dined at the peak of the Belle Époque in the 1890’s.
- BOUILLON RACINE: A turn-of-the-century architectural masterpiece in the Latin Quarter that lay hidden under layers of paint and plasterboard for almost a century before recently being rediscovered and restored back to its original Art Nouveau splendor.
- LA CLOSERIE DES LILAS: The Lost Generation café in Montparnasse where Ernest Hemingway’s name is engraved on a small brass plate at the bar to indicate his favorite seat.
In addition to the three hosted meals, we build plenty of opportunities into our week-long trips for individual travelers to sample some of the less renowned but equally charming bistros and cafés. Lunch every day and dinner on four evenings are on your own. We encourage you to do some exploring to find that memorable little bistro, that perfect sidewalk café or that cutting edge restaurant in the outer arrondissements, run by a talented young chef on his or her way to Michelin stardom. Great food, reasonable prices and plenty of charm abound in these places. We are at your disposal to assist with recommendations or to help make reservations. Our preference, however, is that you report back to us on some marvelous new discovery you’ve made on your own. A significant portion of my favorites have come from fellow travelers’ discoveries.
Delicious food, historic settings,
good wine and good friends . . .
It simply doesn’t get any better.

Boothby’s Blonde cukes in the all-volunteer garden
For the last three years, my daughter has had her own garden bed.
Never one to force the issue, I figured she’d either like the idea of having a space to grow her own stuff, or she wouldn’t. Either way, whatever is growing in that bed is “hers.” And, for the third year in a row, she hasn’t shown much interest beyond the initial seed-starting frenzy begun last winter.
That is okay. The compost yields its gifts quite readily, and this year, in that garden bed of hers, there are: two prolific Costata Romanesco zucchini, four pie pumpkin plants, three butternut squash plants, four tomatoes, and one (at least one, can’t tell) Hubbard squash. Oh: and the above cucumber.
She has been delighted with these “finds.” She considers herself quite the successful gardener.
Who am I to tell her that the garden planted itself? | <urn:uuid:9c78a94c-931f-4fdd-a6e2-402e1fef90ae> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2009/08/28/on-secret-gardens/ | 2023-02-03T16:51:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500058.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20230203154140-20230203184140-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.956177 | 227 |

All classes begin each year with a two week program on establishing a positive learning culture with consistent expectations across the school. The Off to a Great Start! program focuses on developing shared values, attitudes, skills and community goals that will prepare the class and school for success. All learning activities are designed to develop the theme. Home-school links are an integral part of this process which is continually reinforced and revisited.
Teaching and learning
All teachers use the Australian Curriculum to plan, teach, assess and report in:
- Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS): Geography, History, Civics and Citizenship Years 3-7, Economics and Business Years 5-7
- The Arts: Drama, Dance, Music, Visual Arts, Media Arts
- Technologies: Digital Technologies, Design and Technologies
- Health and Physical Education (PE)
- Languages: Chinese
We currently have specialist teachers in PE, Gymnastics, Health, Performing Arts and Chinese.
All teachers use the South Australian Teaching for Effective Learning framework (TfEL) to ensure teaching methodologies incorporate the most recent evidence and understandings about learning and teaching that maximise student engagement and achievement.
Our highly skilled and experienced SSOs (school services officers) work 1 to 1 with students who have an identified learning disability. They also run our literacy and numeracy intervention programs to support children with specific learning needs. We have a teacher to support students for whom English is an additional language or dialect (EALD) and an Aboriginal Education teacher to support our indigenous students. We also provide a range of programs to support individual and group wellbeing.
Students have the opportunity to participate in the Festival of Music choir, a school based music education program. Students perform at the Adelaide Festival Theatre, usually in September each year.
We have netball and soccer teams where students have the opportunity to play in out of school hours competitions, SAPSASA and knockout events. We also have a gymnastics team which competes each year in the Gymnastics SA Schools Challenge. The focus of all physical activities is enjoyment, participation, teamwork and the building of self-esteem and confidence.
Managed by the University of Adelaide, Children’s University provides high quality, voluntary educational experiences for children aged between 7 and 14 years out of school hours. Children choose which activities they would like to participate in and collect stamps in their Passport to Learning as they go. They are rewarded for their participation with certificates presented at formal ceremonies held in high profile locations, such as Bonython Hall at the University of Adelaide. Children graduate in caps and gowns just like the adults do and celebrate their achievements with friends, family and teachers.
There is a registration fee involved payable to Children’s University. More information can be found by contacting the school coordinator.

3. abaanaaaaAnti-Aging Effects
Bananas, also known as nature’s botox, contain super wrinkle-fighting nutrients that help fade age spots and prevent fine lines and wrinkles from forming. Coupled with other wrinkle-busting kitchen ingredients, you can gently nourish, exfoliate, and protect mature skin. Apply a thick coat of a powerful anti-aging banana face mask containing one mashed banana, 1 teaspoon orange juice, and 1 teaspoon thick yogurt.
All of the above require you to be consistent. If you are not consistent with the steps, you might not get the result you want. | <urn:uuid:38320a3e-c77d-43bd-abd9-c01fafb00b30> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://lockdownnaija.com/3-ways-banana-can-make-your-skin-glow/top-10s/3/ | 2022-08-12T14:35:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571719.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812140019-20220812170019-00766.warc.gz | en | 0.893621 | 131 |
Once upon a time people did not call people by their first names without being invited to do so. This lead to a charming moment where one could signal that you wanted to be more then acquaintances with someone by saying, “Do call me Sophia”.
I suppose the modern equivalent of that moment for most of us is sending a friend request to someone on Facebook.
I want you to think about that moment, where you ask an acquaintance to become a friend. I think it is pretty special. And that moment when they accept just feels wonderful doesn’t it? You have both agreed to a relationship that involves a little more disclosure and a little more emotional intimacy.
But in order to have these wonderful moments you must acknowledge that the whole world is not your friend. I know that modern society wants us to think differently, I am sure you have heard someone say “My name is LongerName but my friends call me NickName” to someone they have just met with the presumption that the person will call them by their nickname and be their friend.
It seems we have problems with the idea that not everyone is our friend. This doesn’t mean the world is not full of really lovely people with whom we could probably be friends, it is.* But friendship is something that requires some time and focus and we can’t give that to everyone.
Friendship is a commitment. Not a big one, but a commitment. It isn’t something you can give everyone, because it should mean something when offered.

He may known as the illegitimate son of the Lord of Winterfell. And she may be a wildling from the lands beyond the great Wall.
But when it comes to getting married, Jon Snow and Ygritte from Game of Thrones know how to do things properly.
The actors Kit Harington and Rose Leslie, who met on the set of the long-running series, have therefore chosen to announce their engagement in the pages of The Times.
A notice in today’s paper says: “The engagement is announced between Kit, younger son of David and Deborah Harington of Worcestershire, and Rose, middle daughter of Sebastian and Candy Leslie of Aberdeenshire.”
The couple have been together since 2012.

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about patriotism, nationalism, identity, ethnicity, and so forth. Today I came to a point where my sister asked me, “If Indonesia were involved in a war, would you fight for it?” and I didn’t really know what to reply. It made me really think. I love my country, but for some unknown reason I don’t feel like my identity is tied to Indonesia anymore. I feel like I’m a part of a flock of sheep that has no shepherd and everywhere I look there are other sheep that have strong identities because their shepherds have succeeded to make them belong in their flocks. So I’ve been trying to think what the function of a government is; which leads me to the question of the purpose of paying taxes to the government.
A long time ago when people lived in tribes, there was no need to pay taxes because everyone lived and worked for everyone else. Centralized government (monarchy and presidential) creates the need to pay taxes, so that the government can provide the people with protection, medical attention, standardized education, etc. I still see this being worked out in the US and Australia (albeit not perfectly), but I rarely see this happening in Indonesia.
For most Indonesians taxation has become a mandatory thing that they need to evade wherever possible. And this, perhaps, is because they never see how taxes benefit the society. When they can’t afford medication the government is silent, when they can’t afford education the government is silent, and yet they still need to pay taxes! Is this a form of government of the people, by the people, and for the people? Or is Indonesia still in some ways controlled and oppressed, not by other countries, but by their own representatives in the ruling seats?
I’m not here to say that it is right for the people to evade taxes. Taxes are obligatory for the sake of common good. A good citizen must do what they must do. I’m here to ask the Indonesian government to think more about the people. You are in many ways our shepherd. A good shepherd will give an ill sheep a good care. A good shepherd will give his sheep food, water and protection. Or are you just another wolf trying to pretend to be a shepherd who wears a luxurious coat made out of his own sheep’s wool?
When we are to say, “We are proud to be Indonesians!”, how do you expect us to feel, O great shepherd? Do you expect us to feel like we are proud because we have to be, regardless of the situation where nothing seems to make us proud? Will you blame us when we are to move to another flock because we cannot sense your presence among us? If so, why? Do you expect us to stay in your flock while you are busy harvesting our wool and sell it to satisfy your own ego? How are we to survive, then? Do you expect us to act exactly like you, seeking our own water and food for our own survival while not thinking of another sheep in our own flock, so that when you come to collect our wool we can be prepared regardless of whether or not the other sheep in the same flock are dying? Many of us have turned into this, because you have forced us to.
Some of us need medical attention and yet they cannot afford it. A lot of us need education and yet they cannot afford it. Please be a good shepherd, lest your sheep die. | <urn:uuid:d8976736-09aa-43da-865d-303496d80df0> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://gracepondering.wordpress.com/2015/08/20/shepherd-of-indonesia-where-art-thou/ | 2017-12-13T11:05:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948522999.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20171213104259-20171213124259-00422.warc.gz | en | 0.975524 | 728 |
Well, here we are, Oscar night.
Just turned on the TV, watching the pre-show for the first time. Usually, on Oscar Sunday, I’m doing things during the day and then racing home to get back by 5, but this time I’m on the East Coast, at the end of a full day of fun and at the beginning of a full night of work. A little backwards, but at least it’s in balance.
As I watch, I’ll be writing the Academy Awards article. I’ve prepared various paragraphs for various outcomes, and every time a paragraph becomes unusuable (because someone else or something else won) I’ll be posting it, as a kind of history from another dimension.
(Wow. The pre-show. People WATCH this thing?)
Now, Matthew McConaughey . . .he looks a little like Bing Crosby tonight? Ever notice that? I don’t mean that in a bad way.
(The weird combination of obsequiousness and disdain with which the press treats the runway celebrities is very . . . don’t know what it’s very, actually. Maybe just weird.)
Now, Annette Bening. Very good.
Now a very pre-Raphaelite Anne Hathaway and Valentino.
Sorry, I can’t watch any more of this. Skin is crawling too much to type. I’ll be back during the ceremony. | <urn:uuid:512b976f-66a8-4cba-866b-a3994a4edfc5> | CC-MAIN-2015-40 | http://blog.sfgate.com/mlasalle/2011/02/27/oscar-pre-show/ | 2015-10-07T07:15:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-40/segments/1443736682773.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20151001215802-00216-ip-10-137-6-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.927237 | 310 |
2014 really might be D'Angelo's year. Today, D'Angelo was announced as the headliner for this year's Afropunk Festival in Brooklyn. He's also finally releasing a new album this year and going on tour in the Fall. But we'll believe that when we see it. Joining D'Angelo on the Afropunk bill this year is SZA, The Internet, Trash Talk, Ice-T's metal group Body Count, and more.

ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT
Energy and Environment at Carolina
provided the initial funding for the activities in Energy and the Environment at Carolina, and continues to provide core support. We are especially grateful to them for this founding gift.
Energy use presents a special set of challenges to our state, nation and world. While energy and materials lie at the heart of satisfying important human needs and driving economic development, their use also is the common cause of a wide range of environmental problems. Climate change, deforestation, eutrophication, acidification: all may be traced to the ways in which society obtains, uses and disposes of material and energy. It also is increasingly clear that our past reliance on cheap and plentiful fossil fuels is giving way to a future in which these traditional supplies are dwindling and becoming more expensive as international competition grows. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has stepped forward in creating and implementing an array of responses, united through what we call Energy and Environment and built around the Institute's Center for Sustainable Energy, Environment and Economic Development (CSEEED).
Energy and Environment represents a campus-wide partnership between faculty, students and the offices of the campus infrastructure (Energy, Housing, Grounds, etc.). Working together, and with outside institutions and communities, we produce interdisciplinary research, education and outreach in all aspects of energy use, environmental quality and economic development, including:
- Scientific advances in the physics, chemistry, biology and materials science underlying energy supplies such as fuel cells, biomass, tidal energy, hydrogen and photovoltaics;
- Scientific and engineering advances in industrial processes that consume less energy and reduce waste;
- Social advances in the creation of markets and entrepreneurial activities;
- Scientific and engineering advances in the capture and storage of carbon dioxide;
- Study of the relationship between population growth, development patterns, economic growth, energy use and environmental impacts;
- Study of market, governmental, institutional and personal mechanisms by which energy, environmental and economic changes can be integrated, assessed and implemented;
- Application of sustainable energy measures on our campus, using the campus as a test bed and demonstration site for advances in green technologies and practices.
We invite you to join with us in these exciting activities, working to meet the energy and environmental challenges that will define the 21st century. | <urn:uuid:2a343ba8-02e0-49ce-8480-192255367895> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://www.ie.unc.edu/research/energy_and_environment.cfm | 2015-05-04T08:59:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1430453938418.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20150501041858-00013-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.934905 | 471 |
Citizens for Better Government
Blount County Tennessee
Mayor and Sheriff get their numbers wrong
In a front page article, the Mayor and the Sheriff criticized our Tale of Two Counties presentation. The fact that they have never seen the presentation that we will make on February 19, did not seem to bother them. While raging at the numbers they think we will present, they managed to give out some interesting numbers themselves.
Cunningham began by saying that the Washington county Sheriff’s office “covers only 30,000 people”. Actually his number was wrong. It is closer to 50,000. His assumption that our presentation (which he has not seen) does not take this into account is also wrong.
Sheriff Berrong accuses county citizens groups of “deceptive claims” but does not cite a single concrete example. The Sheriff did accidently expose some deceptive claims of his own. In the chart shown in the article (unfortunately not included in the internet version), which cites its source as the Blount County Sheriff’s Office, the Sheriff’s department budget is shown steadily increasing every year from fiscal year 98/99 to the current year 06/07. Not a single year to year reduction is shown. If this is the case then why has the Sheriff been deceiving the citizens of the county by repeatedly talking about budget cuts (another budget “cut” article)?
Mayor Cunningham seems to follow in kind by expressing outrage “about the accusations from the group”. Cunningham says: “I deeply resent it. It’s dishonest”. The only problem here is that Cunningham never identifies any specific accusations or deceptive claims.
Cunningham goes on to imply that the leaders of the citizens groups are only paying $1.60 / day in taxes. Wrong again. His number is not even close. The Mayor goes on to say that our citizens groups would: “complain about the second coming of Christ because he didn’t come to their house first”. We would suggest that this remark is irrelevant and deeply offensive to many people in our county.
The Mayor and Sheriff seemed very concerned that citizens will come to see our presentation on February 19 and make up their own minds about whose facts are correct. Their attitude is disrespectful to the citizens of our county. | <urn:uuid:4f0489f8-ed8a-4467-b0ac-31349760ac67> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://www.blounttn.net/Maysherwrong.htm | 2017-04-26T09:54:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917121267.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031201-00089-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970208 | 480 |
Venus Williams, who helped design this dress she will wear at Wimbledon, lost in the fourth round of the French Open. Wimbledon starts Monday.Dave Caulkin/AP
LONDON - Venus Williams wants to outdo sister Serena with her tennis - and her fashion - at Wimbledon.
Venus modeled a corset-style white tennis dress Friday that she will wear at Wimbledon, which starts Monday. All-white except for a navy ''RbK'' logo on the front, the dress is open-laced up the back to show flesh rather than a sports bra.
Venus designed the Reebok dress together with American fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg.
The Williams sisters are known for their love of on-court fashion and glittering accessories, not to mention their domination of women's tennis.
Until the French Open, they had met in four of the previous five Grand Slam finals. Serena won Wimbledon last year, breaking Venus' two-year hold on the title.
Venus said she hopes to have the fashion edge over her sister at Wimbledon after Serena's daring black skintight catsuit stole the headlines at last year's U.S Open.
''Maybe this week I'm ahead of her,'' Venus said. ''That black outfit she wore was wonderful. We look at each other's outfits when they arrive at the house and we decide who has the better outfit.''
Von Furstenberg, who became known in American fashion in the 1970s with printed jersey wraparound dresses, said her role was to make the sport ''a little prettier.''
''It was important to be part of that and I did have a lot of input into the designs,'' Venus said. ''Things have to be just perfect. If I'm not happy, I'll scream.''
The sisters' father, Richard Williams, sat in the front row, videotaping Venus as she posed for photographers on a fake grass catwalk.
Venus said it was strange not to be in the French Open final, where Justine Henin-Hardenne beat fellow Belgian Kim Clijsters. Venus lost to Russia's Vera Zvonareva in the fourth round - she's projected to play her again in the fourth round at Wimbledon - while Serena fell to Henin-Hardenne in the semis.
''After I wasn't in the tournament, I transferred all my hopes to Serena,'' Venus said. ''I don't know if I was more upset with my loss or her loss. You definitely learn more when you lose. To win everything throughout your whole career is almost impossible.''

AL-QAYYARAH, IRAQ —
Graffiti on a bullet-riddled building in this city reads “Mosul will be free” in Arabic as black smoke billows from the nearby oil fields set on fire by Islamic State militants.
As the frontlines of the battle against Islamic State move into Iraq’s second largest city, the surrounding areas are in tatters. Locals say IS may be gone, but residents are still in danger from the smoke.
“We are living in a fire,” says Ali Ahmed, who house is between two oil fires, each only a few hundred meters away. “There is no water, no food. Even our spit is dry and black.”
IS militants had set oil fields in this city on fire before they were forced out of the area two months ago. After they left, soldiers say timed bombs remained and when the bombs went off, the fires were reignited.
Some people say the fires were meant to hide IS from airstrikes. Others say the group is just bent on destruction. All agree it’s a crisis that is not being addressed.
“They destroyed this well of oil three months ago by bombs,” says Mohammed, a Qayyarah resident as he stands on the rim of one of the fires. “This is hurting us by the smoke. It’s hurting out chests. It’s making a lot of people sick because this oil is burning.”
While this fire rages on freely, there is another burning oil well in view. Locals say it is technically being put out, but months have gone by with no change.
In the meantime, families near the fires live in homes encased in smoke, which blocks the sun over entire villages and towns.
“The situation is very dangerous,” explains Hassan Ahmed, a Lieutenant in the Iraqi Army. “The children get up in the morning and their faces are soon black. Even the furniture is black.”
Families say the defeat of Islamic State in their area was a great victory and a list of the names of those killed by the group hangs on a shop door in town.
But the devastation IS left behind has left many homes empty, and those remaining say they are barely surviving.
“Many houses were destroyed with mortars and bombs,” says Ahmed. “Life is finished here.” | <urn:uuid:d77babba-5b94-43ca-be71-ce0c898364ac> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://www.voanews.com/a/iraq-oil-fields-islamic-state/3583402.html | 2017-06-27T22:47:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321938.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627221726-20170628001726-00670.warc.gz | en | 0.981107 | 507 |

"Jacob's character is continually growing throughout the series," Lautner told PEOPLE at the MTV Movie Awards Sunday night, "so I got about eight weeks off before I go back again for Eclipse and I'm going to be hitting the gym."
Lautner, 17, already beefed up considerably for his role as the shape shifting werewolf Jacob Black in New Moon after brief behind-the-scenes debate over whether the role should be recast. He said he'll be getting bigger and bigger "until the end of the series," but he looks forward to returning to his normal size.
"When we're done with the Twilight films I'll definitely bulk down and just get lean again because I don't want to stay big and bulky."
(See photos from the set of New Moon!)
"It's insane!" costar Ashley Greene said of Lautner's new build. "I was going through my phone and looking at all the pictures, and there's one from the wrap party that we did here after the first one and it's incredible. I was like, 'Taylor, did you see this?' He was like, 'Oh my gosh.' He gained 30 lbs. He's not a little kid anymore."
In recent photos from the New Moon set star Robert Pattinson also showed off some impressively chiseled abs, and costar Kellan Lutz said they were achieved without any airbrushed shadows – in fact, Lutz takes some tongue-in-cheek credit for Pattinson's six-pack.
"I've been training him, I've been training Taylor," he insisted straight-faced, but promised that there's no fitness competition among the men of New Moon – at least on his part. "I'm the tallest one and so I'll stick with that trait.
The Italian JobMeanwhile, a handful of the New Moon cast got to shoot scenes on location in Italy, and Greene was one of the lucky ones. "I didn't want to leave. Oh my gosh, I did miss home a bit, but it's so beautiful." She says her co-stars who stayed home resented her "a LOT. When I was like 'Oh, my God, I'm so tired. I'm working so hard.' They were like, 'Shut up. You're in ITALY.' "
Peter Facinelli, who plays the Cullen family patriarch, confirms the dissatisfaction of the non-traveling castmembers. "We were so bummed," he said. "Lazy writing, Stephenie Meyer! LOL. Can you put LOL at the end of that so she doesn't think I'm serious?" | <urn:uuid:b1c732de-2a16-4156-8621-b4a538f9ef8b> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20282491,00.html | 2016-07-01T02:54:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783399522.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154959-00077-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.98695 | 544 |
In a small town in northwest Connecticut there is an unwritten decree during July: Lock your car doors or find pounds of zucchini mysteriously occupying the front seat. Zucchini is now plentiful so it is the perfect time to enjoy these pancakes for breakfast.
1 medium-large zucchini
2-3 red potatoes
½ small onion, peeled
¼ cup spelt or whole wheat matzo meal
1 small egg, lightly beaten
4-5 oregano leaves
½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Grape seed oil for frying (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 pineapple, sliced, as garnish
A few basil leaves (optional)
Wash and trim the zucchini and potato, leaving skin on.
Coarsely grate the zucchini using a box grater or a food processor.
Coarsely grate the potato and the onion using the same grater.
Be sure to rinse the grater each time you change ingredients.
Transfer the grated zucchini, potato and onion to a colander and squeeze dry. Let stand for 2 minutes, then squeeze again.
Transfer the vegetable mixture to a large bowl.
Chop the oregano and add to the mix.
Add the matzo meal, egg, lemon juice, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
In a medium cast iron or stainless steel skillet, heat 2-4 tablespoons of grape seed oil until simmering but not smoking.
Drop packed teaspoons of the zucchini mixture into the skillet and flatten them with the back of a spoon.
Cook the pancakes over moderately high heat until the edges are golden, about 2 minutes; flip and cook until golden on other side, about 1 minute.
Drain on unbleached brown paper bags.
Repeat with the remaining zucchini mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve with fresh sliced pineapple and basil (optional).
Note: pineapple is a tropical fruit, so should be eaten sparingly in the northeast. At this time of year, when New England can feel like the Tropics, the juicy, sweet pineapple is a fine complement to these savory pancakes. | <urn:uuid:2793c45a-ab44-4ba4-93fb-342d10e1b123> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://vfbnancy.com/2013/07/11/zucchini-pancakes/ | 2018-06-18T22:43:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267861456.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618222556-20180619002556-00452.warc.gz | en | 0.885268 | 463 |
USS OSCAR AUSTIN DDG 79
Bath Iron Work's first Flight IIA Arleigh Burke-class Aegis guided-missile destroyer proudly bears the name of private First Class Oscar P. Austin, United States Marine Corps. Displaying indomitable courage and selfless devotion to duty, Pfc Austin was killed on February 23, 1969, when he sacrificed his own life to save an injured companion. He has been recognized with numerous medals and decorations, including the Purple Heart, the National Defense Medal, and the Vietnam Service Medal with two bronze stars, the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, and the Medal of Honor.
The most significant change associated with Flight IIA is the addition of dual helicopter hangars aft, on either side of the after VLS. Other upgrades to the ships' aviation capabilities include addition of Recovery Assistance, Securing and Traversing (RAST) helicopter hauldown systems on the flight deck, relocation of the helicopter control station, and additional berthing for a full aviation detachment. To accommodate these changes there have been numerous other alterations, including raising the aft VLS and aft SPY-1D radar faces by one deck level, relocation of the Mk32 12.75 inch torpedo tubes, removal of the Harpoon missiles and the SQR-19 towed array, and extensive internal rearrangements around the helicopter hangars.

With: Natasha Warikoo (Harvard University)
Stories of massive student debt and for-profit school scams make it clear that the post-secondary system can be an unfriendly place to many disadvantaged students. But how are America’s universities and colleges hoping to use their institutions to reduce inequality? Natasha Warikoo studies how elite universities’ arguments for affirmative action can reinforce prejudiced assumptions about race.
With: Marybeth Gasman (University of Pennsylvania)
President Trump has spoken recently about reducing the already limited funds given to historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Marybeth Gasman explains why we still need HBCUs.
With: Jason Houle (Dartmouth College)
Student loan numbers have skyrocketed in recent years, but some groups of students are affected more than others. Jason Houle explains how the burden of student debt follows the same social divides that much else does: race and class.
With: Stephanie Cellini (George Washington University)
Stephanie Cellini studies the rise and fall of for-profit colleges and universities. She says they often take advantage of the students who are most in need of a leg up. | <urn:uuid:331a284a-ce87-44eb-9608-f11ab708679a> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.withgoodreasonradio.org/episode/degrees-of-separation-higher-ed/?t=00:40:07 | 2019-11-18T04:47:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669431.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20191118030116-20191118054116-00522.warc.gz | en | 0.91933 | 267 |

The work of Yegor and Nikita Zigura, installed in a park on the Dnieper embankment, is inextricably linked to the environment.
The project worked with the authors together with Ukrainian astrophysicists, whose calculations are between the male and female figure, with the gradual disappearance of the light from the horizon, the sun will pass.
The art object itself is made of over 1000 welded polished stainless steel rods and tubes, the height of the work exceeds 4.5 meters and its width is about 4 meters.
Yegor and Nikita Zigura have already resorted to welding techniques earlier: on the territory of KPI them. Igor Sikorsky installed the sculpture "New Prometheus", in the center of the city of Dnipro installed a new work of the brothers, called "R / evolution".
The unity sculptural composition and the landscaping were made thanks to the initiative and with the support of the International Charitable Foundation "Life with Excess" and Alexei Kotkovsky, one of the foundation's permanent patrons.

Gas fireplaces are undoubtedly one of the world’s most outstanding domestic technological marvels. Though we may sometimes take them for granted if we give the matter some thought. We’ll see that they’re one of the main sources of heat. And for many a welcomed sense of comfort in their home. Especially as the winter months come rolling in. A good gas fireplace is what lets you curl up at home and forget the world while reading a book or watching a movie, in total warmth and comfort. It can be integral to making your home feel cozy and really feel like home.
But not all fireplaces are created equal. In particular, natural gas fireplaces and gas fireplace inserts are great for all of the reasons that more traditional wood fireplaces are great. And they also carry their own specific advantages. Here are just a few reasons why you might want to consider putting a contemporary gas fireplace into your home as the weather gets colder.
Cleanliness and Convenience
The thought of basking in the warm glow of a wood-burning fireplace at home conjures up romantic images of comfort, relaxation, and safety. Even the sounds of crackling wood have their own peculiar charm. But pause for a minute. You’ll quickly realize that the cleanup operation from something like this can easily turn into a nightmare. Burn wood, and you’ll have tons of ashes to clean up later. If you aren’t careful, those ashes can spread all over your home. Who wants that?
Plus, before the question of burning wood can even come up – you’ll of course have to first chop blocks and blocks of wood in order to get something that’s suitable for burning. That’s a ton of work. And if you decide to simply forgo all of that work and just rely on a standard heating system to stay warm, you’ll lose all of the aesthetic charm and special ambiance of having a fireplace.
Contemporary gas fireplaces or fireplace gas inserts from The Original Flame can give you the best of both worlds. First of all, you won’t need to burn or chop any wood while using one of our models. That means that you’ll neither have to strain yourself by chopping piles and piles of wood. Nor drive yourself crazy by frequently carrying off and scrubbing away mounds of thick ashes.
Gas fireplaces do require some occasional cleanup and maintenance. But compared to the wooden variety, the amount of work you’ll do will be minimal. In most cases, a thorough cleaning done about once a year should be enough.
Secondly, actually using one of our gas fireplaces is extraordinarily easy. Rather than laboriously and meticulously setting everything up to make sure that you have just enough wood for your needs. Plus ensuring that the smoke from the burning passes up through a chimney. You can just simply control everything with a remote. You can just set the remote to run your gas fireplace for as long as, and with as much intensity as, you require. Since you won’t need any chimneys, you can put gas fireplace inserts into any room with a wall that can accommodate one. And because gas fireplaces connect to propane tanks, you can run them even during a power outage.
Efficient Energy Use and Heat Distribution
Being able to control your fireplace with a remote certainly makes things easy and convenient for you in general. It also lets you do some very specific things that would be totally impossible with any other kind of fireplace. The most impressive of these is probably the fact that you’ll have some ability to direct heat where you want it to go.
With a traditional wood-burning fireplace, the fireplace itself is the epicenter of all heat. Heat radiates out from there. And if some parts of your house are too far away from that center, they aren’t warmed. With a gas fireplace, though, you can direct the flow of gas and have the resulting heat radiate through your walls. Allowing you to cover and keep warm a much greater total area. In fact, you’ll generally be able to warm areas of between 1,000 and 3,000 square feet with your gas fireplace insert.
Not only can you warm more area with a gas fireplace. But the energy that you use to warm things is put to better use. Much of the heat generated by wood-burning fireplaces simply escapes through the chimney. With a gas fireplace, no heat is wasted. That means that you’ll save quite a bit of money on energy costs over time. Those savings will be even greater once you consider the fact that you won’t need to buy any more wood.
Gas Fireplace Safety!
Fire is extremely dangerous and unfortunately, accidents can happen at any time. Even if you have the best of intentions and make a sincere effort to be careful. With a gas fireplace, you won’t need to have any actual fires burning in your home. Moreover, since our gas fireplaces are automated, you can set them up to cut off the flow of gas after they’ve been in use for a given amount of time. Safety is thus guaranteed.
Little to No Damage to the Environment
The advantages of having a natural gas fireplace don’t just affect you personally. They radiate out to the broader world as well. A wood-burning fireplace releases enormous quantities of smoke into the air through your chimney. Which damages overall air quality in the area and may have adverse effects on surrounding plant and animal life.
With a traditional gas fireplace, however, this just isn’t an issue. Emissions are extremely low. And as already alluded to, there won’t be any ash, wood chips, soot, or creosote left behind in the firebox if you use a gas fireplace insert. Since all of these residues and emissions are bad for the environment, The Original Flame gives you the ability to both stay warm and know that you’re doing right by the world around you.
Who doesn’t love the feeling and the aesthetic of having a fireplace at home? The long list of drawbacks and difficulties associated with having a traditional wood-burning fireplace at home is enough to convince many homeowners to drop the idea of building one.
But we at The Original Flame want to make sure that you don’t have to give up on that dream. We have a wide selection of both gas fireplaces and gas fireplace inserts that are not only affordably priced, but that can save you money on energy costs, save you work, keep you safe and protect the environment — all while being easy to use and maintain. Feel free to check out all of what we have in store for you that can help you build the perfect home. | <urn:uuid:f8ef5c80-8a79-4568-a90a-d32a2d8cb964> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.theoriginalflame.com/key-benefits-of-owning-a-gas-fireplace/ | 2022-05-24T18:05:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662573189.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220524173011-20220524203011-00024.warc.gz | en | 0.947742 | 1,398 |
What's New? ... Coconut Wraps
Every now and then, a new health food product enters the market and makes me jump for joy. Jimalie's Coconut Wraps are a case in point.
I was given a packet of the wraps to try and I loved them, so I wanted to share with you. I've been enjoying them all week for a number of reasons:
+ They're made with three simple ingredients: coconut meat, coconut water and himalayan salt.
+ They're naturally gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free and raw.
+ They're pliable, so they don't break when you wrap them around things.
+ They taste great and work with both savoury and sweet (in my opinion).
I used one to wrap up my Green Eggs Express scramble for breakfast (shown above, with bacon added). It was delicious. And fun (I like eating with my hands). The wraps also have a slight chewiness, which I love. You can find out more about the wraps here.
I hope you all have a great weekend! | <urn:uuid:2aad5d4e-3c69-4230-bb94-d088a66a53f3> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://www.rfhb.com.au/blog/whats-new-coconut-wraps | 2018-03-21T07:07:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647584.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20180321063114-20180321083114-00334.warc.gz | en | 0.969655 | 226 |
He is still here, but in body only
His soul has left me.
I miss him most at twilight time, when the day’s work has ended
And evenings past times have yet to begin.
Those times in our past when dinner was cooking in the kitchen and
Warm light filled the house.
When before dinner we would walk hand in hand through the
Gardens, across the fields to the edge of the wood
Where the songs of night
Drifted in from the forest and filled our senses.
The essences of twilight,
A feeling more than a time.
We were love and completeness,
He completed me as I completed him.
We would finish our dinner in the kitchen and
Take our wine to the porch and watch as
The last light faded from the landscape while
Twilight’s glow lingered in the treetops.
Evening deepened and the world stopped spinning.
All was calm, all was quiet. And when the hour was late,
We would climb the stairs together and
Sink into our inviting bed.
He always began by sliding his hands over my body as
An expression of his love.
I could feel the heart of his passion
Against my lips.
As his smoking soul ignited the
Fire in my heart,
We would come together in light and love.
The passion almost too much to take as
He whispered words of love and lust in
My ear and held my body and life together in his arms.
It was at those times that my soul threatened to spill out of my body
And wash away in the heat of the moment,
But his strength held it back
And covered it with his love, protecting me from myself.
And each time, as the lovemaking ended and his body
Lay hot and limp on mine,
I would look into his eyes and know,
Just know, that the world, our world, was as it should be.
And in that moment I had no darkness to fear, no sadness to run from
Could feel no distance between us in the night.
Instead, the darkness was comforting in its
Completeness, the totality of its effect sealed our fate each and every time.
But in spite of the lust, the passion and heat, in spite of
A love that felt as if it transcended time and space
There came a change, a change that for me meant an emptying of hopes, an end to dreams, and an acceptance that my love would never be returned.
And so it remains, a love, a hope and a dream held only by one
Struggling to survive in a lonely bed at twilight time. | <urn:uuid:7edbd6bb-2eeb-4b24-acf2-6f2732c5504f> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://heartwordsforpoetry.org/2015/05/14/twilights-bed/?like_comment=537&_wpnonce=280c3ed2e9 | 2022-05-26T15:14:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662606992.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220526131456-20220526161456-00742.warc.gz | en | 0.976914 | 563 |
Did Obama Make the Grade in His State of the Union Address?
Facing the Nation
The verdict is in, and African-American lawmakers and leaders and nonprofit groups give President Obama's fifth State of the Union address high marks. The overwhelming consensus was optimistic and hopeful and a strong blueprint for closing gaps in various areas, from early childhood education to retirement.

God Will Take Care of You
“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33).
Sometimes when we consider making a commitment to God, we begin to worry about the effect it will have on our lives. “Will I have time to do this?” “How will this affect my leisure time?” “Will this eat into my time to work and make money?”
Full disclosure: The only guarantee God gives you comes by way of a promise. He will take care of you. God does not provide tangible guarantees and furnish you proof, nor does He always show you how He will take care of you. He wants you to take Him at His word. He wants you to trust Him.
God tells us that we will suffer no loss in serving Him:
“Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life” (Mark 10:29-30).
Some people balk and want detailed proof that every need will be met. But God leaves you with the promise that He will abundantly provide for you. Parents make similar struggles when deciding when to have children. They suppose they must have a certain income level, and that they must experience maximum fun before they settle down to the responsibilities of parenthood. Sometimes that perfect time never arrives. We need to trust God and move forward.
Has God spoken to you about launching out and serving Him? Are you waiting for the perfect time based on your lifestyle and personal conveniences? That time will never arrive. Take Him at His word and serve Him today. He will take of you, but take that step. In fact, make it more than a step; jump in with both feet.

Dan Mullen comments on status of veteran Florida players missing from depth chart
On Wednesday’s SEC media teleconference, Florida coach Dan Mullen was not in the mood for questions about the Gators’ depth chart.
“You’re asking questions about stuff I don’t even look at,” Mullen said in response to a depth chart question.
Reporters were asking about the depth chart because two seniors were notably absent. Kyree Campbell was not listed on the two-deep at defensive line and Brad Stewart was not listed among the defensive backs.
The absences of Campbell and Stewart led to some fan speculation about opt-outs or suspensions, but Mullen said both will be available Saturday against Ole Miss.
Campbell started in all 13 games for Florida last season, recording 39 total tackles, including 4 for loss and one sack. In 2019, Stewart appeared in 10 games, including four starts, 28 total tackles (17 solo), 2 tackles for loss, a half sack and one fumble recovery. | <urn:uuid:086946fc-4e8e-4527-b911-d32dd58e68eb> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/florida-football/dan-mullen-comments-on-status-of-veteran-florida-players-missing-from-depth-chart/ | 2020-10-30T22:45:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107911792.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20201030212708-20201031002708-00127.warc.gz | en | 0.96527 | 211 |

By: Jenna Newman
This past August, I began to intern at a fully remote PR firm. Okay, so what does that actually mean? Essentially, the firm has no one office or no one location that everything is based out of. Our “markets” listed on the website are Scottsdale, New York City and Los Angeles. All big ticket names that would get potential clients interested in who we are and what we have to offer. But all of the employees themselves are based all across the country. I was going to structure this post as a pros and cons of a remote firm, but I’ll be honest, I’m totally sold. So here are some of the reasons that I think this is a brilliant idea and why I am beyond #blessed to work for this type of firm.
Remote PR firms help with connecting with clients, media and influencers all across the country because you have people that understand all of the various markets. In the PR Writing class that I’m in right now, our professor constantly drills into us that PR is all about relationships. By having employees spread out across the United States, you have people who know Philadelphia inside and out, as well as people who know Seattle or Portland the same way. This can be a massive game-changer in getting that perfect coverage for larger clients who have a national focus and target.
The biggest, and I believe most obvious advantage of working remote, is that you can work from literally anywhere with an internet connection. That is huge for me! I am the type of person that works best in coffee shops or anywhere with other people around me also doing work. I recently had one of my most productive work days on a plane flying out to San Diego! I believe that this does only apply to a specific person. You need to have the self-discipline where you can just sit down in a space where you can focus and get things done in that space. To relate it back to college – if you can’t handle an online class, a remote job is probably not for you.
Okay, so I’ve gone on and on about why this is amazing, but let me take a step back and talk about one of the challenges I’ve noticed thus far in the world of remote work: Being able to close the laptop and stop working at the end of the day. When the world is your office, it’s hard to leave at the end of the day. It’s important to find those places that you work efficiently, but also have those spaces that work isn’t allowed. Those places that at the end of the working day you can go and have a break. We aren’t meant to work constantly and it’s important to find that balance, especially your whole office is always at your fingertips. | <urn:uuid:2daf4c99-3bcf-4b93-869b-dbb77937f6e8> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://prssaud.com/2019/10/29/remote-pr-firms-just-a-phase-or-a-long-term-trend/ | 2021-03-05T04:21:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178369721.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20210305030131-20210305060131-00120.warc.gz | en | 0.974589 | 585 |
Members of the Wauwatosa Police Department's Community Support Division, with backup provided by the folks at WauwatosaNow.com, are now blogging. We will be providing you with an ongoing series of crime prevention tips, any current crime trends as well as pertinent news and notes as it relates to your Police Department.
This comes directly from the FBI Website.
Recent FBI analysis reveals that cyber criminals engaging in ACH/wire transfer fraud have targeted businesses by responding via e-mail to employment opportunities posted online.
Recently, more than $150,000 was stolen from a U.S. business via unauthorized wire transfer as a result of an e-mail the business received that contained malware. The malware was embedded in an e-mail response to a job posting the business placed on an employment website and allowed the attacker to obtain the online banking credentials of the person who was authorized to conduct financial transactions within the company. The malicious actor changed the account settings to allow the sending of wire transfers, one to the Ukraine and two to domestic accounts. The malware was identified as a Bredolab variant, svrwsc.exe. This malware was connected to the ZeuS/Zbot Trojan, which is commonly used by cyber criminals to defraud U.S. businesses.
The FBI recommends that potential employers remain vigilant in opening the e-mails of prospective employees. Running a virus scan prior to opening any e-mail attachments may provide an added layer of security against this type of attack. The FBI also recommends that businesses use separate computer systems to conduct financial transactions.
For more information on this type of fraud and prevention tips, please refer to previous public service announcements at the links below:
Anyone who believes they have been a target this type of attack should immediately contact their financial institutions and local FBI office and promptly report it to the IC3’s website at www.ic3.gov. The IC3’s complaint database links complaints together to refer them to the appropriate law enforcement agency for case consideration. The IC3 also uses complaint information to identify emerging trends and patterns. | <urn:uuid:689f6c06-831b-4ba0-bad4-0b888a525f27> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://www.wauwatosanow.com/blogs/institutionalblogs/117097668.html | 2016-05-28T06:01:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049277313.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002117-00135-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.943097 | 426 |

Pump It Up: Exceed (Playstation 2)Gaming Software
Year Released: 2005
Categories: Interactive/Gaming System Workouts
Video Fitness reviews may not be copied, quoted, or posted elsewhere without the permission of the reviewer
Step aside, Dance Dance Revolution, there's a hot new dance game in the house!
Actually, Pump It Up has been in arcades for almost as long as DDR, but this is
its first American game console release. It's available on both PS2 and Xbox; I
tested the PS2 version.
As with DDR, PIU has you stepping on a dance mat to the beat of catchy tunes, in sync with upwardly-scrolling arrows on the screen. But unlike DDR's up-down-left-right arrows, PIU's arrows are in an X pattern on the mat - and the center square is used also. (PIU comes packaged with a custom mat, and DDR mats aren't compatible with PIU.) If you're used to DDR like I am, trying to learn PIU is like learning a whole new foot-language! I guess it's like trying your first Christi Taylor after having done nothing but Firms. After a couple of very clumsy sessions with PIU, though, I started catching on and now can do many of the Normal (easiest) level songs.
To play, first select from Arcade, Home or Sudden Death modes. In Arcade, you play 4 songs and get a total score based on how accurate your steps were; a life bar at the top of the screen diminishes with each misstep, and if it disappears, it's game over (Sudden Death allows you only one misstep). Home mode lets you "practice" individual songs in their entirety, with no life bar or failing, the closest thing to a workout mode. For most songs there are 3 difficulty levels to choose from (Normal, Hard and Crazy) and numerical difficulty ratings within those levels, with 1 being the easiest. Although there is no workout mode per se, if you choose Statistics from the main menu, you can see the total "distance" in kilometers you've gone based on your step count, which can help you set goals or determine your progress.
The music and visuals are PIU's biggest strengths. The huge playlist (101 total songs on PS2, though many have to be unlocked at first) includes licenses such as Elvis' Little Less Conversation and Sugarhill Gang's Rapper's Delight, as well as soundalikes of Kiss Me, Let's Groove, Conga and Born To Be Alive. If you're a Hooked On Classics fan, there's a slew of discofied classical pieces; I'll never be able to hear Ave Maria again without thinking about mashing a dance pad. There's also Latin, dance, hip-hop, rock, Korean pop and even a Christmas carol medley. The videos accompanying the music are very high quality, with anime-style cartoons, live-action dancing and psychedelic graphics. You can even sit and watch the videos on a Video channel, or shut them off if they're too distracting. The graphics are very slick and pleasing (although IMHO that is the ugliest dance pad I've ever seen), and loading times are about equal to DDR's.
Now for the bad things. Compared to DDR (let's face it, all dance games are going to be compared to DDR), PIU's menu navigation is a headache. Even though the mat has left, right, up and down buttons, these are used only for the main menus. To select songs or adjust difficulties, you use the unintuitive diagonal arrows and Back button, and the manual is of very little help - trial and error are the standard procedure. Since the center button is used for entering, you can't stand on the center like most DDR players are used to doing while choosing songs; I sort of awkwardly straddle the mat. In Arcade mode, you get only 60 seconds to select a song and difficulty, so your footwork has to be almost as fast during the selection process as during the song itself! The songs are grouped into 3 "channels", and the upper arrows switch channels while the lower arrows cycle through songs (in no particular order) on that channel. Many songs are locked and you have to unlock them by playing them in different modes. I hate locked content, but at least here they tell you what's locked and what to do to unlock them, unlike DDR where you basically have to get on the internet and seek out the "keys" for yourself.
PIU, unfortunately, is not very kind to newbies. There is no training mode; there is a tutorial mode where you can briefly practice the basics, but to learn a regular song, you just have to practice it in Home mode at normal speed without any assists like handclaps. The arrows don't have different colors according to the beat like in DDR, so it can be hard to tell sometimes if there's a jump (2 steps simultaneously) or just 2 steps very close together but not simultaneous. 2 players can play against each other, but unlike DDR, they have to play at the same difficulty.
I give Pump It Up: Exceed a grade of B+, with the music, videos and gameplay helping make up for the lousy interface and beginner-unfriendliness. If you love DDR, PIU is definitely worth a try for some fun variety, but if you're new to dance gaming, DDR is still the one to beat. Let's hope the next version of PIU is improved to make it more attractive to novices and home exercisers. | <urn:uuid:472f84a3-65b7-4968-8882-6e6a8754e58e> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://www.videofitness.com/reviewsdb/disp_review.php?id=1409 | 2016-12-03T11:39:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698540928.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170900-00497-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.951046 | 1,159 |
A one-cancels-other (OCO) order, sometimes called a bracket order, is used by traders in many financial markets to stay on top of their trades more efficiently. With the One-Cancels-Other EA, you can easily execute an OCO order on your MetaTrader 4 platform.
Say you’re predicting an increase in volatility—a big economic news announcement is coming soon. Use the One-Cancels-Other EA to create a pending buy order above the current market price and a pending sell order below the market price. The news announcement hits: If a new upward trend is established, your pending buy order is executed in the correct direction of the trend. Your pending sell order is automatically cancelled—the one trade has cancelled the other.

Tom Brady and the New England Patriots knew this day was coming.
Clearly, the team was prepared for a painful parting with the only quarterback in NFL history to win six Super Bowls.
So it wasn’t long Tuesday after Brady announced on social media that he would be starting the next chapter of his career with a yet-unnamed franchise that Patriots owner Robert Kraft and typically taciturn coach Bill Belichick released effusive statements about him.
“How do I possibly sum up the depth of my gratitude to Tom Brady for what he’s given us these past 20 years, or the sadness I feel knowing it’s ending?” Kraft said. “I love Tom like a son and I always will. He has brought so much happiness to me personally and to all of our fans.”
Brady, 42, has long insisted he wants to play until he’s 45 and is looking for a team willing to make that commitment to him. The Chargers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the leading candidates to do so, although the Las Vegas Raiders and Indianapolis Colts are outside candidates. In an interesting wrinkle Tuesday that could further change the quarterback landscape, the Carolina Panthers have given Cam Newton the green light to seek a trade. The Panthers likely will sign free agent Teddy Bridgewater.
Early Tuesday, Brady posted on social media: “I don’t know what my football future holds but it is time for me to open a new stage for my life and career.”
Brady, a sixth-round selection in the 2000 draft, is the first quarterback and fourth player overall to play 20 seasons with one franchise. An 18-year captain, he led the Patriots to the playoffs 17 times, including a record nine Super Bowl appearances. In addition to his six rings, he was named Super Bowl MVP four times.
“Tom was not just a player who bought into our program,” Belichick said in a written statement. “He was one of its original creators. Tom lived and perpetuated our culture. On a daily basis, he was a tone setter and a bar raiser. He won championships in three of his first four years on the field and in three of his final six seasons with us, while competing for championships in most every season in between. This is a credit to Tom’s consistency and what separates him. He didn’t just perform. He didn’t just win. He won championships over and over again.
“Tom and I will always have a great relationship built on love, admiration, respect and appreciation. Tom’s success as a player and his character as a person are exceptional. Nothing about the end of Tom’s Patriots career changes how unfathomably spectacular it was. With his relentless competitiveness and longevity, he earned everyone’s adoration and will be celebrated forever. It has been a privilege to coach Tom Brady for 20 years.”
Kraft said he looked forward to the time the Patriots could bring Brady back to New England to honor him and celebrate his career.
“I had hoped this day would never come, but rather that Tom would end his remarkable career in a Patriots uniform after yet another Super Bowl championship,” Kraft said. “Unfortunately, the two sides were unable to reach an agreement to allow that dream to become a reality. While sad today, the overwhelming feeling I have is appreciation for his countless contributions to our team and community.”
Said Belichick: “Examples of Tom’s greatness are limitless, going back even before he was drafted. We witnessed how he prepared when he wasn’t playing, how he performed when he got his opportunity, what he did to continuously improve, his leadership, his mindset, the example he set, and, of course, the person he is.

“It looked to me like it was rather lonely.”It’s worth reiterating here that this assessment was based on a few quick seconds of video footage of a squid swimming past. An objective person could look at the footage on a loop for hours, and name every adjective that comes into their mind without landing on lonely. But in his moment in the spotlight, the one thing that Kubodera illuminated was how depressing a life spent looking for squid can be.

Celine Replica handbags This is a watershed moment for the American labor movement. Drastically weakened by decades of a corporate offensive against workers in the private sector, the labor movement is now being frontally attacked at its last stronghold: public sector unions. If the current assault on labor now being spearheaded by Governor Scott Walker’s push to eliminate the bargaining rights of public sector workers in Wisconsin succeeds, it will leave the United States as the only wealthy democratic country with little more than a shadow of a union movement.

It's mostly the same outfit, but with a few modifications. First, I've lost weight, so the coat fits much better. Secondly, I've eschewed the cap, which was too small for me, in favor of a holly wreath. Third, I've acquired the able assistance of an elf, namely annecathryn.
Both Lyondemere Yule and Wintermist Birthday Tournament happened yesterday (as did Calafia Winter Arts festival, but alas they opted out of a visit). I started out in Lyondemere, where there was a substantial showing of kids (3, up from just Jordan last year. Oh, and in case anyone remembers last year's episode, Jordan didn't cry!). Their Excellencies of Lyondemere wanted to make sure that my services were not underutilized, and filled my sack with presents for all the baronial officers, as well as their court, guard, and champions. It was a lot of fun, and divinite looked like she was taking lots of pictures. My only regret was that I was unable to stay for feast (smoked salmon and cream cheese appetizers! Oh fate, why must you mock me with Sir Jamal's cooking?) because I had to be on the road to Wintermist.
By the time I arrived in Bakersfield, it was 6:30, and the second course of the feast was already heading out of the kitchen. There was a bit of a mix-up, and the presents that were to be given out had not yet made it to the event, so I had some time to rest and get into character. Finally, the gifts arrived, I filled my sack, and walked into the stunningly dark feast hall. The room was only lit with Christmas lights and candles, so it was hard to see who was who and where, but apparantly the ambient light really picked up the gold in my gown, and made my beard glow, so that was fun. There were six children at the event, and all of them were very excited to see me.
After the initial gift-giving, I stuck around to talk with old friends from the Shire, which gave the children to interrogate me on the nature of Santa. It was a fun challenge to my improv skills, fielding questions such as "why does Santa work in the North Pole?" with "for starters, the rent is really low" and "how does Santa know we've been good or bad" with "you know how once your parents know something, all the adults do? That's because every parent is part of a worldwide parent network, and Santa is a part of it. They send him regular reports on your behaviour, as well as some of your interests; that's how he knows what you want for Christmas even if you don't send him a letter."
I've looked forward to this all year, and I can't wait for the next two weeks.
Next weekend: Gyldenholt Yule, and perhaps some pics. | <urn:uuid:bfc24402-28ff-4121-84a8-870252ebc920> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://cormac.livejournal.com/73143.html | 2021-03-01T01:36:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178361808.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20210228235852-20210301025852-00203.warc.gz | en | 0.991289 | 616 |
Roughly translated the beers name means trout season. To me trout season is about nature and friends. I hope that this beer reflects that. This is a first for me. A two part beer.
The first beer is ment to be drank in late June. It is a dry, slighly earthy. Very drinkable. Designed to welcome summer and all that it has to offer.
The second beer, is targeted to be consumed in late summer. It reflects a year of learning. Of consuming. A complex flavorful beer.
A brew day of firsts. I actually exceeded my target gravity. This never happens. Now. That being said I did a stupid thing. I changed more than on thing in my process. First I changed the gap on my mill from .039 to .035. Second I adjusted the Mash PH by adding 1 teaspoon of Calcium chloride and 1 teaspoon of gypsum. Third I sparged with near boiling water. What does all this mean?
Not much to the end beer drinker.
My process seems to be improving, though and thats a good thing.
I captured about 10 gallons of wort yesterday @ 1.063 (yielding a potential alcohol of about 6.5%). I ran off about 3.5 gallons (I really need to measure the volume of the new bakery fermenters) into the batch that will be fermented with the brett. This batch will probably take about a month to complete fermentation. I will be keeping an eye on it. It had not started bubbling as of this Monday morning.
Then I ran off 6 gallons into the large fermenter. At 6.5% (possibly) it is higher than I wanted for the Saison so I watered it down with about 2.5 gallons of cool water. This yielded 8 gallons of of 1.044 (4.6% estimated) wort with is being fermented with White Labs 565 Saison Yeast. I am currently fermenting the Saison batch in a rubbermaid tub with a aquirum heater set to 81 Degrees F. This is very high for a fermentation but is something that gives the beer its characteristic spicy taste. It was bubbling like mad this morning and I cant see it taking more than a few days to ferment out but I am shooting for a 3 week ferment to get it as dry as possible.
Once the ferment is complete I will be blending the beer until they reach the mix of flavors I am looking for. The early summery beer will probably settle at about 5% and should be a great drinker. The late summer version is going to be an interesting beast and I cant want to try it.
As a quick aside my normal brewing efficiency is around 61%, on Sunday I hit 79.9%. That reflects an increase of 33%. The problem is I don’t know what to expect next time. I guess I will need to brew again to find out. | <urn:uuid:d97f0841-36a1-4d45-9729-550a15c4bdca> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://outofkey.com/beer/brewing/batches/brew-day-saison-de-truite/ | 2015-05-29T17:56:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207930259.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113210-00190-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964298 | 605 |

European Left More Dangerous for Jews than European Right
Jewish groups in Europe and the United States have reacted with alarm to the gains made by far-right political parties in the recent elections for European Parliament. Right-wing and nationalist parties posted significant victories in Austria, Britain, Denmark, Hungary, Romania, and the Netherlands in four days of voting that ended on June 7.
The Paris-based European Jewish Congress (EJC), an umbrella organization for Jewish communities in Europe, said: "As we assess the results of this week's elections, one disturbing trend has already crystallized; the gains made by extreme-right groups is a Europe-wide phenomenon. The success of the far-right and nationalistic parties that won seats in the elections on the basis of racist, anti-Semitic, and xenophobic platforms points to a clear erosion of tolerance and a clarion call to European officials to immediately engage in intercultural dialogue. The success of such rabid groups as The Freedom Party in the Netherlands, the Freedom Party in Austria (FPO), the Danish People's Party, the British National Party, and Jobbik in Hungary, among others, will sadly only serve to embolden those who espouse the dangerous concepts of extreme nationalism, racism, anti-Semitism and xenophobia."
The New York-based Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said it was "deeply distressing that the blatantly anti-Semitic parties received so many votes," and called on European leaders to "ensure that anti-Semitism, racism and bigotry never again gain a foothold in Europe. ... It is imperative that European leaders do not remain silent, but speak out and reject the hateful and bigoted worldview of parties of the far-right and their supporters."
The Geneva-based World Jewish Congress (WJC) said: "Far-right parties and extremists have made gains across Europe amid protest votes and low turnout for the European Parliament (EP) elections. The elections were held in all 27 EU member states from Thursday to Sunday last week. Support for centre-Left parties and governments collapsed across the EU as fringe parties, picked up protest votes."
Although these and other Jewish groups are not alone in their concerns about rising anti-Semitism in Europe, their fear of the far right often obscures the indisputable fact that some of the greatest threats to Jews (and Israel) in contemporary Europe stem from the left side of the political aisle. Indeed, it is no big secret that all across the European continent, left-wing intellectuals are playing a crucial role in making anti-Semitism seem respectable. Of course, they are (usually) careful to promote their hatred of Jews only indirectly. Instead, modern anti-Semitism is typically disguised as anti-Zionism and an obsession with Palestinian victimhood. | <urn:uuid:59a16103-e951-43ac-81c2-31a438424670> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | https://pjmedia.com/blog/european-left-is-more-dangerous-for-jews-than-the-european-right/ | 2017-03-23T20:30:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218187206.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212947-00500-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.948835 | 561 |

Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra - Carnevale
The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra invited us to create decor for their Carnevale-themed gala at Rochester's Wintergarden. The Wintergarden has a beautiful fountain that needed to be turned off during the event in order to allow the musicians to be heard. This gave us an opportunity to cover the existing fountain with a balloon one. And yes, Kelly got a little wet while putting it in place.

As an artist this is a question I get asked, so it was time I considered an answer.
Usually I get an idea, play with some materials, hope for the best and then sometimes it works. Well that is what I thought, but when I read around the subject a bit more, there are quite a few stages to consider:
- Solve a problem – how do I depict this landscape? – what do I want to show? I set my own brief, which I may or may not stick to. It usually begins with a vague idea or vision.
- Gather the information that I need – sketches, photographs, information, resources, and media. I often deconstruct landscapes at this point; look for the essence of what has attracted me – is it the lines, the forms, the light or maybe the colour? I will reconstruct it again later.
- Start making decisions – what tools to use, what colours would work best, how do I translate my vague idea into an image? What new material can I experiment with today?
- If the decisions are going well, then it becomes a ‘free flow’ state or ‘in the zone’, where I relax and enjoy the solitude of the work and let the ideas and reflections work almost subconsciously. If it is going well it is usually quite an immersion and I can forget everything else and time seems to fly.
- Then comes the testing and evaluating stage, where I have to step back and examine what I have done. Sometimes I will hang the piece and leave it to consider, maybe take a photo or turn it upside down, as a new way of looking at it. It is always possible that I might abandon it all together at this point, or start over with a new idea, or even just leave it to be re-used or re-worked again later. I try not to think of this as a failure, because I can undermine myself for future work. If successful, it might go on to become a series of works and stimulate other ideas….
- Then there is the ‘is it finished’ stage. I usually hang the work outside my studio to allow time to ponder if anything needs to be changed or if I am happy with it.
- But what is the end point? – is it when I decide it is finished, or when it goes into my shop – or even is it finished once it is sold and I cannot touch it again.
So sometimes the method or process to make art is very precise and each step must be followed exactly, in order to get the correct result, for example print making. If you skip or do one part out of sequence it will affect other parts. Usually I am pulling on knowledge and past experience to achieve a final piece, with a little experimentation thrown in to the mix.
Sometimes I can feel overwhelmed by the limitless possibilities – it can be quite a daunting experience being faced with a blank canvas. I have to give myself permission to take the time to think and stare into space, have a cup of tea – whatever I need to get in to the right state of mind and take that risk. I have to get out of the way of my unconscious process and sometimes I just can’t. But that is OK too.
There is no right or wrong in art. | <urn:uuid:9f7aa73c-38f0-48c6-b07b-9453242e663f> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.sallykirk.co.uk/whats-your-process-pondering-the-artistic-process/ | 2020-12-04T11:23:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141735600.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20201204101314-20201204131314-00403.warc.gz | en | 0.964847 | 682 |
Here’s a recent review of my first comic that I had the pleasure to illustrate: SPECTRA Issue: 1. It was written by Michael D. Hamersky for his blog http://www.ComicBookCollectorsBlog.com.
Spectra, the superhero that I co-created with physicist Rebecca Thompson-Flagg continues to make her media rounds. Here is a link to a story about Spectra’s real life alter-ego that appeared in the American Physical Society’s APS News publication. http://tiny.cc/9u730 | <urn:uuid:2093113d-2ae1-49b3-b461-e24e9a8a350d> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://kerrygjohnson.com/tag/superhero/ | 2019-04-25T07:58:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578711882.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20190425074144-20190425100144-00076.warc.gz | en | 0.932765 | 120 |
These three films won't get much attention at the Academy Awards on Sunday and only "The Avengers" garnered a nomination, for Best Visual Effects. But in a another sign of Hollywood's winning year, six of the nine competitors for Best Picture hauled in at least $100 million apiece at U.S. and Canadian theaters.
James Bond also returned from a four-year absence with a vengeance and snagged five Oscar nods. "Skyfall," made jointly by MGM and Sony Pictures, grossed $304 million in domestic ticket sales and $1.1 billion internationally — the most of any of the 24 Bond films tracked by Box Office Mojo, and nearly twice as much as the second-ranked film, "Quantum of Solace," in 2008.
"It was a terrific year," said Universal Pictures Chairman Adam Fogelson, whose studio made "Ted" and Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax," both with box office sales over $200 million. "Give consumers something that's interesting and you can still get them to come out of their house."
U.S. and Canadian movie theaters sold more than 1.3 billion tickets in 2012, a 5.3 percent hike and the second time in five years that ticket sales increased. That propelled the box office to a record $10.8 billion, up nearly 5.8 percent. | <urn:uuid:60b6d2ce-f761-4ae2-8c12-001e0fc2ff52> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://www.cnbc.com/id/100484539/page/2 | 2017-07-23T00:03:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549424154.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20170722222652-20170723002652-00689.warc.gz | en | 0.975568 | 275 |
I woke up and in my head, the ending of my dream recurred. Like all dreams, I can’t recall the details but it probably was just a scene from my past. And my mind subconsciously jerked myself awake with a flashforward – images and sounds of things that have happened in my life between then and now surfaced to mind like a slideshow on 1/2 second interval. Reality overpowered me and I woke up, with the remains of that last dream lingering, wondering if this is my life, wondering if those life experiences are real.
Maybe life is only just a dream, albeit a longer and more convoluted type. Maybe reality is just a social construct. | <urn:uuid:dd00469b-c90a-42aa-97aa-811c59ad6c77> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://wendyongwf.wordpress.com/2013/01/25/its-only-just-a-dream/ | 2018-03-19T19:58:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647146.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20180319194922-20180319214922-00171.warc.gz | en | 0.941923 | 138 |
Ace Your DMV Test with the Best DMV Test Apps
Can’t wait to hit the road? Well hold on a second, if my memory serves me correct, first you need to pass the DMV test.
If you’re reading this, I’m guessing you already dug into studying. And also, it didn’t go as well because you’re looking for a better and easier way to nail the test.
Best DMV Test Apps
No shame in that, I’ve done the same back when I was studying for my driver’s license. Back then all I had were textbooks to help me learn, but in today’s world, there are a lot of more options.
One of them are apps and to my surprise, there’s a pretty decent choice of apps that focus on DMV test preparations.
You can take free DMV written test to really nail down the valuable knowledge and even review questions straight from your state’s handbook. It turns out it doesn’t even matter if you are taking a car or motorcycle test.
Long story short, I found a couple of nice apps on a site that sorts them by user reviews, ratings and downloads which I found to be really cool and helpful. It definitely saved me a couple of minutes.
Get in-depth feedback on your practice tests with DMV Hub
I found DMV Hub to be a great choice for learning the rules of the road. I believe it has over 500 DMV test questions including traffic signs questions. With a bit of will, you can quickly learn all the ins and outs of driving.
I also liked the fact you can take DMV practice tests that are tailored to your state without paying a cent. But the best part is if you answer wrong you’ll get feedback for every question so you’re not left wondering what to do next.
This goes pretty well with the fact you can choose between randomizing the questions, getting only questions you answered wrong or questions you didn’t try. Unfortunately, to get the third option you got to pay.
Finally, something I noticed at the end of my app testing is that you can also use the app without having an Internet connection. I guess that can come in handy if you need to do some last minute revisions and there’s no hotspot around.
I think this app is for people who want to really cement their knowledge as it gets straight to the point. But if you need more external motivation, don’t worry, the next one might be for you.
Have fun learning with DMV Permit Practice Test 2018 Edition
So, learning isn’t your cup of tea. Well, I might just have a cure for your illness. For me, the main perk of DMV Permit Practice by Coco is that it turns the learning experience into a game, where you beat levels by correctly answering practice questions! Remember how in Super Mario levels get progressively harder but also more fun? The same is here, except you’re not jumping on mushrooms but learning for your DMV test.
It builds up your knowledge by practicing with the most common DMV test questions for each state and even gives detailed explanations for every question and learn everything you need to know fast.
I believe it has a bit fewer questions than the first app, but it makes up for it with the great gaming design. Finally, it’s not completely necessary but just a little advice.
You might want to have a driver’s handbook beside you just so you can review if something doesn’t seem right. Unfortunately, the app doesn’t include references and although the questions I answered were correct, it doesn’t hurt to double check.
So, while I think the first one is for more active learners, this one is great for those of you who need a little push.
Realistic tests with DMV Genie Permit Practice Test
I got to say. I definitely like the name of this one: DMV Genie. The main perk of this app is that it uses the official driver’s handbook, or at least they promote the app that way.
Naturally, I had to test the app to see if what they say is correct. As it turns out, the questions did feel closer to the actual test.
Don’t get me wrong, the first two apps have a great set of questions as well, but this one did feel as if it took one small step further.
If you don’t want to take any chances with the DMV test and it’s burning under your feet, DMV Genie is a great choice. It has hundreds of questions that are based on the driver’s handbook for every state. You can even choose a difficulty level as your learning journey.
So the app has a little bit of the first two. If you’re completely new, you can start with easy questions and work your way up to take the exam level practice test.
What I probably like the most is that the questions you answer incorrectly are saved in a personalized Challenge Bank, so you can review them again later! You also get detailed explanations with references to the exact chapter in the handbook.
The only other thing I can say is that sometimes the app finds itself repeating questions too much. This can get a bit annoying if you want to learn something new but you’re getting bombarded with old stuff instead.
So which of the 3 is the best? Honestly, I think they are all good and it depends on what you’re looking for.
But as I said for the second app, do have a driver’s textbook by your side. If you combine I mean, taking a DMV test is no longer stressful when you have great lea the practice tests and the official manual, I think you’ll be able to nail the test in no time.
Thanks for reading and I hope you found the article helpful.

There was not a moment’s hesitation from Alan Pardew when he was asked whether he would happily take another striker before the end of the transfer window, and it was easy to see why after his team fired blanks for a second successive game. “I would accept any player coming into my group,” the Newcastle manager said.
More than half of Newcastle’s Premier League goals last season were scored by Loïc Rémy and Yohan Cabaye, neither of whom are still at the club. The big question is whether Pardew has the players at his disposal to bridge that significant shortfall or if the new recruits need a helping hand. These are early days – 180 minutes of football is too early to cast judgment – but Pardew needed no telling that Newcastle must cut loose when they host struggling Crystal Palace on Saturday or the doubts will grow.
Although Newcastle were the better team here and deserved three points after controlling the second half, Emmanuel Rivière, the former Monaco striker and the man charged with leading the line, endured another quiet afternoon – “He’s had two games and hardly had a chance, but I do feel he is going to score goals”, Pardew said – while Rémy Cabella and Ayoze Pérez squandered decent opportunities.
Siem De Jong, the former Ajax player, at least forced a save from Brad Guzan late on, a couple of minutes before Mike Williamson was dismissed for a second bookable offence.
While Pardew remains convinced there are goals in his team, first impressions are that Newcastle are light up front and would benefit from some Premier League experience in that department. “We’re looking at situations that might help us,” the Newcastle manager said.
“We feel that we’ve done good business. But I think the recent activity on the striker front in particular has shown that the market is very, very difficult. [Jordan] Rhodes’s price looks heavy. If we could have some realism around [British] strikers, maybe they would get some more opportunities.”
Aston Villa have their own shortcomings in attack at the moment – they failed to register a shot on target here – but Christian Benteke’s return from a ruptured achilles tendon, probably after next month’s international break, will give them some physical presence and a cutting edge.
At the other end of the pitch Villa are older and wiser, with Alan Hutton, Philippe Senderos, Ron Vlaar and Aly Cissokho forming a new-look back four that has yet to concede this season. Hutton and Cissokho, the two full-backs, were particularly impressive against Newcastle.
“We’re a bit of a different team,” Guzan said. “On another day we could have nicked a goal and got the three points. No disrespect to the guys who were in before but we are benefiting from having a bit of experience in there. We are harder to beat, which is starting to shine through.”

We’ve discussed some ways to be positively noticed as a graduate school applicant and some ways to be negatively noticed. Now here are some general guidelines and practical tips to help you prepare your best graduate application possible.
Do your best to relax as you work on your grad school application. Worrying and obsessing will not help—in fact, doing so could hinder your ability to think clearly and focus on preparing the best application you can.
Going through the graduate school application process can be a major learning experience for you. As you complete each application, you will engage in personal reflection and self-discovery. This can prove to be very rewarding, whatever the decisions you receive from an admission committee. As applicants move through this process, some end up deciding to not pursue graduate study or to wait a while. Others decide to pursue an entirely different area of study than what they originally had in mind.
Use this application process to your benefit; consider it a positive learning experience in and of itself. Be calm. Be reflective. Be thoughtful. And relax!
2. Give yourself time
Simply put, starting the process early and taking your time to apply allows you to focus on the task at hand: doing your best on your applications. Rushing or waiting until the last minute tends to lead to costly mistakes.
3. Follow directions
If you’ve read our past articles, you know we’ve hit on this point before. And it seems like such a no-brainer that you may wonder why we even mention it. But we do so because over the years, we’ve truly been amazed at the number of applicants who do not follow directions. If you become one of those applicants, it can raise questions about how well you’ll follow policies and procedures once admitted and enrolled in your graduate program.
Some directives from schools may not make sense to you, but they have been provided for a reason. If you want to give yourself the best possible chance at admission, you need to comply. If you’re unable or unwilling to do so, you’ll send a clear signal about yourself to the admission committee. It’s a red flag, not a green light.
Here are a handful of examples:
- If there is a word limit for essay questions (and there almost always is), follow it. Remember, application evaluators are reading hundreds—maybe thousands—of essays. You won’t receive a positive response if yours is longer than it’s supposed to be.
- If you are asked for two letters of recommendation, do not submit a third. Some institutions will permit an extra recommendation, but usually no more. Honor that.
- If a school has a policy for interviews to be conducted by invitation only, do not request one. You could mention that you hope you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your goals in person, but leave it at that. If a school says an interview is highly recommended, then sure, request one, and make every possible effort to follow through.
- If you’re an international student applying to a US graduate school and are required to take a test to measure your English-language skills, do so. Don’t argue, even if you’re fluent in English. If that’s the case, you will obviously do well on the test, which will serve to enhance your application.
4. Be professional at all times and in all dealings
Remember, as an applicant, you’re at the part of the process where you’re no longer in the driver’s seat. You are one of many applicants being evaluated and compared to each other. Always present yourself in a calm, assertive, sincere manner. It’s appropriate to be inquisitive about your application, but it’s never to your advantage to be argumentative.
Actions speak louder than words. Some of the best applications we’ve seen on paper have been completely devalued due to the behavior of the individual who prepared them. Be confident but not arrogant; be kind and patient, not abrasive and demanding.
5. Both content and presentation are important
While what you say in your application is obviously important, so is the “look and feel” of your application. This is especially true when the institution/program to which you are applying is extremely selective and has the luxury of choosing admitted students from a large applicant pool. Occasionally essay questions are not sent to the right institution, and often it’s clear they were not proofread for correct grammar or spelling. Some information is not provided or contradicts information elsewhere in the application.
Applications with these kinds of presentation errors quickly become less competitive. The admission committee may assume the applicant is not really serious about this application, and they tend to respond in a similar manner.
6. Be yourself, be human, be honest
Resist the temptation to lie, embellish, or make excuses. Don’t be someone you’re not. At times, applicants try to make themselves look perfect—but as we all know, no one is perfect. Trying to look that way can cause application evaluators to be more suspicious than impressed. We’re not suggesting you discuss all your weaknesses and past mistakes (which are there for all of us), but rather that you simply be yourself.
The best applications we’ve read are from those who were, in effect, communicating the following between the lines: “This is me. I hope you will appreciate who I am, and also appreciate the level of interest I’ve demonstrated in your institution by completing this application. If you choose to admit me, I’ll be thrilled. If you don’t, I’ll be okay.”
Don’t make excuses on your application. You may decide that you need to explain a lower GPA, a less-than-stellar academic record during undergrad, a break in your employment record, or having several jobs in a short period of time. If there are legitimate reasons for what might seem like a blemish in your application, let the admission committee know. Perhaps you had a serious illness, lost a loved one, or had a sudden financial crisis. Bottom line: make explanations, not excuses. The admission committee will know the difference, and your application will either be helped or hindered.
7. Make contingency plans in case you’re not admitted
In our years as admission directors, we met applicants who were so convinced that a particular institution was for them, or that this was the year they were going to attend graduate school, that they didn’t make plans for what to do if things didn’t go as they hoped. Some would go so far as to inform employers and loved ones of their plans before it was advisable to do so. In some very extreme cases, they moved to where their #1 graduate option was located before they received a decision on their application!
Being prepared for all outcomes isn’t a sign of lack of belief in yourself or your ability to do graduate work—it’s a sign you realize life doesn’t always go the way we plan. Having alternative plans at the ready is usually a wise move.

The Tegra 4i has us all excited. It’s basically the Tegra 4 with matched performance and matched battery life, but finally brings integrated 4G LTE capabilities. All of those specs make this upcoming processor something to keep an eye out for. NVIDIA is currently at MWC and put out a short video showing off some of the features of their newest mobile chip.
We get a good sense that the 60 GPU cores in the Tegra 4i and the Phoenix reference phone that it’s packed in are being put to good use. The graphical power of this chip shines in the display of an HD boxing game and a 1080p trailer for an upcoming Tom Cruise flick. NVIDIA also explains how the CPU and GPU in the 4i help the phone to take better HDR photos than the competition.
As for the Phoenix phone, don’t expect to get your hands on it anytime soon. It’s a sleek and simple device, with no real physical features to speak of other than the addition of HDMI-out. Think of it more as a developer platform that OEMs will get to tinker with and build off of. | <urn:uuid:4fce7375-e67d-46e5-b467-5f4afd0be556> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://www.droid-life.com/2013/02/25/video-nvidia-shows-off-phoenix-reference-phone-1080p-display-and-beastly-gaming-performance/ | 2016-09-28T05:11:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738661311.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173741-00170-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.9174 | 233 |
People who keep their teeth and gums healthy with regular brushing may have a lower risk of developing dementia later in life, according to a new study, says Dr. Jay M. Marks.
“Not only does the state of your mind predict what kind of oral health habits you practice, it may be that your oral health habits influence whether or not you get dementia,” said Annlia Paganini-Hill, who led the study at the University of California.
And some studies have found that people with Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, have more gum disease-related bacteria in their brains than a person without Alzheimer’s, reports Danbury, CT. Dentist Jay M. Marks, DMD
It’s thought that gum disease bacteria might get into the brain causing inflammation and brain damage.
There was a significant difference seen between men who had all, or at least most, of their teeth, or who wore dentures, and those who didn’t — the latter group were almost twice as likely to develop dementia.
That effect was not seen in women, though.
Yet despite the limitations, Watts said the study is an important step toward understanding how behavior might be linked to dementia.
Dr. Marks says that we can’t conclude or guarantee that if you take proper care of your teeth and gums, and visit your dentist regularly, that you will not get dementia, but the practice of good oral hygiene, and preventing tooth loss (or wearing dentures if you do loose your teeth), may play some role here.

When Dave Greenberg was just 13 years old, he saved a life for the first time, using CPR. He already knew that he wanted to spend his life helping others in times of crisis, and that harrowing event on a city footpath only confirmed this desire. He went on to spend 25 years working with Life Flight – the Westpac Rescue Helicopter service in Wellington, New Zealand, taking part in many daring rescues on land and at sea, often taking the role of ‘the dope on a rope’ – their own term for the rescuer who dangles from a winch over stormy seas trying to pluck people from heaving ship decks or from the ferocious waves.

For a country with 315 million people, 14,000 McDonald's restaurants and the world's largest economy, it's pretty surprising that much of the United States is still pretty much wilderness.

On October 14 the most elite endurance athletes in the world will once again face the humbling challenge that is the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona.
While finish times have plummeted at iron-distance races around the world, with many of the top male athletes going well under the eight-hour mark, the course and conditions at Kona are so uniquely challenging that those same athletes often struggle to match or even come close to their top performances.
Kona is a race for the tacticians. Knowing the environment and how to adapt your strategy and effort levels accordingly can be the difference in a podium performance and blowing up on the run.
In this year’s historic race there are two athletes, Jan Frodeno and Daniela Ryf, who are both going for threepeats.
Ryf has soundly dominated the competition, especially last year where she set the female course record, whereas Frodeno has played a much more tactical game, wearing his competition down at the most opportune spots to gain his advantage.
Although the swim is the shortest portion of an IRONMAN event, at Kona it holds a huge importance. If you miss the first couple of packs and are stuck coming out of the water solo the athlete’s engine size won’t matter. Pro Lionel Sanders discovered this in his first two trips to the Big Island.
With the non-wetsuit swim, the big advantage goes to the naturally strong swimmers, who in recent years have been content to get out of the water and ride relatively easily, waiting for a bigger group to form on the early section of the bike.
There are several tactical reasons for this that we will touch on in the next section, but as Ben Kanute showed at the 70.3 World Championship in Chattanooga, with a stellar swim/bike performance athletes can always throw new variables into the mix.
In the men’s race, look for first-time Kona pro Josh Amberger to push the pace on the swim and work hard on the bike to gap any athletes content to go easy early. In the women’s race, swim standouts Lauren Brandon, Lucy Charles, Rachel Joyce and Haley Chura will all be in the mix at the front.
The Kona bike course is brutal. Most people point out the climb to Hawi, but this only accounts for a little over 500 feet of the roughly 5,000 feet of climbing on the course. Plenty of other courses have similar climbing but much faster times so what else makes Kona such a challenge?
One obvious factor is the heat and humidity. Studying athletes’ power levels at Kona versus their other races in more temperate climates show a significant difference. For the top athletes this is often deliberate as burning matches on the bike will come back to haunt them on the run.
It is not uncommon to see athletes lower their power by up to 10 percent in Kona versus other races. So top male podium athletes who are typically around 295-300+ watts for an typical IRONMAN will often race at 260-270 in Kona. How they strategically use those watts can be even more important based on the next biggest factor on the bike, the prevailing wind conditions.
When Best Bike Split first traveled to Kona as part of the TrainingPeaks family we knew that Kona was one of the hardest races to accurately model. Once we experienced the race in person we immediately understood why; the island is unique in that the prevailing wind conditions are never in the athlete’s favor.
Best Bike Split’s Advanced Weather Chart
Early morning winds tend to originate from the interior of the island and as the athletes travel up the coast the wind starts to shift going from a more sheltered low headwind to a stronger more exposed headwind up to the turnaround at Hawi.
Once athletes make the turn to head back into town, the wind is coming off the coast and is much stronger (the famous crosswinds). For the final section of the course the winds shift even more to the south and often increase intensity, so athletes face additional headwind back to transition.
This shift tends to increase in intensity throughout the day, so age groupers often face harsher conditions than the pros. Essentially athletes face a head or crosswind for the vast majority of the course, which adds to the difficulty and shape the racing tactics employed by the pros over the past several years.
To win in Kona everything must be firing on all cylinders going into the run, even in Craig Alexander’s record breaking performance in 2011 there were times on the run where it looked like things could fall apart at any second.
If the bike is brutal, the run in Kona is truly humbling. Many athletes have ridden their typical power levels on the bike only to have to walk or even call it a day on the run. Burning too much energy early in the run and on the climb up Palani Road to the Queen K Highway will be costly in the scorching stretch down and back through the Energy Lab.
The run is completely exposed, so athletes who have not trained, adapted and accounted for the conditions could suffer throughout the run. Many top athletes have already been training in similar conditions in preparation, most notably Daniela Ryf traveling to Maui to train immediately after Chattanooga and Patrick Lange (last year’s third place finisher and run course record holder) spending his time training in Houston, Texas.
Much like we said in Chattanooga, it’s hard to see anyone who can come close to touching Ryf. Watching her drop girls like they were standing still on the climb up Lookout Mountain left no doubt about her ability to just overpower every other competitor out there.
She typically has a strong swim, but even if her swim is suffering, with ideal pacing she could put 15+ minutes on most of the field on the bike course. Barring some physical or mechanical issues (which can and hav happened many times during this race’s history), it’s hard to see her competing against anything but her own record from last year, which will depend heavily on the conditions on the day.
The race for second place is where the real action will take place in the women’s race. Heather Jackson is looking for a step up the podium this year after her third place finish in 2016. She has worked hard on her swim and marathon with her coach Joe Gambles to fine tune her relatively weaker areas. If she strings together a better swim into her historically strong bike, she could be much closer to Ryf coming off the bike than in year’s past.
Rachel Joyce is back at Kona this year and podiumed every year from 2013-2015. She often comes out of the water with Ryf, so if she can manage to hold on for a portion of the bike she could get some significant gaps on the field, and most importantly, Jackson. However, Joyce has raced a lot to qualify this year, so it will be interesting to see how she bounces back after two full IRONMAN distance races already this year.
German Anja Beranek, who finished just off the podium last year, is an incredibly strong cyclist, and was able to stick with Ryf for a large section of the bike in 2016, but ultimately fell off the pace coming into transition, trailing Ryf by some eight minutes.
Her early efforts on the bike might have cost her as she faded throughout the run to finish fourth. Now that she has one IRONMAN Hawaii under her belt, we expect to see a more even strategy on the bike, putting her in a better position to try to hold off athletes chasing from behind through the end of the marathon.
This year she will likely face stiffer competition from the likes of Sarah Crowely and Lucy Charles, who took the top two spots at the IRONMAN European Championship in Frankfurt earlier this year.
Sarah Crowley is coming off an outstanding season where she won IRONMAN Cairns, Frankfurt, and the ITU Long Course World Championship in Penticton. She is a great all-around triathlete with no obvious weakness. Crowley has come a long way since her 15th place debut performance in Kona last year, but the fast Aussie will once again be tested by the island conditions, and after two full IRONMAN races and a ITU long course race, it will be interesting to see how she holds up later in the race.
In just her second year as a professional, Lucy Charles heads to Kona off a season that includes a major win and bike course record at IRONMAN Lanzarote and a second-place finish to Sarah Crowley at the IRONMAN European Championship—a notoriously stacked field.
Her outstanding swim strength should see her coming out of the water with Lauren Brandon well ahead of a lot of the competitors. With Lucy’s cycling ability she could hold off Ryf for a large portion of the course and stay close to Jackson. If there is one area of relative weakness with Lucy it’s her run, but if she can bike within her means she could see herself in second or third heading into T2.
Other notable athletes who have a good shot at the podium include the perennial top Kona athlete Michelle Vesterby, Sarah Piampiano if she can string together a great day, and Kaisa Sali—who was fifth in Kona last year, but has changed coaches and strategies this year with Siri Lindley.
This years men’s race has so many dynamics that could play out throughout the race. Jan Frodeno is going for his third straight world championship title. Two years removed from the top spot, Sebastian Kienle has faced challenges with his typical hard bike and strong run strategy.
In the last few years competitors who have focused heavily on bike aerodynamics and tactical yet legal spaced riding have fared far better. This year Ben Hoffman entered the ranks of sub-8 IRONMAN status with an incredible performance at IRONMAN South Africa.
Patrick Lange, who to set a blistering run course record last year, has the swim and bike chops (barring a penalty) to really pressure for a top spot. There is also the powerhouse Lionel Sanders, who has been focusing heavily on his swim training, as well as training in what can only be described as a sauna in order to acclimate for the heat and humidity of the race.
Unlike the women’s race, where there is a clear-cut favorite, the men’s race is a bit more open. Frodeno is still the defending two-time champ and is the favorite, but he is also potentially beatable.
The past two years have set up very similarly where stronger swimmers including Frodeno, Hoffman, Brent McMahon, and Tim O’Donnell (just to name a few) have formed an early pack on the bike on the way to Hawi. While the spacing between riders in the pack is usually the legal 12 meters, there is no real incentive for athletes to push hard to the front to face a majority uphill and increasing head wind.
In 2015 we saw Ben Hoffman charge to the front for a hard effort, trying to break the pack toward the base of the climb, only to have the group easily cover and pull him back in. It’s hard to tell how much impact this effort had, but the surge used much needed matches and had virtually no impact on the field.
Strategically the big moves have tended to come after the turnaround as the prevailing winds shift into a crosswind, where the pack loses any potential advantage. Athletes like Kienle and Sanders need to be close enough out of the swim to bridge the gap before this point if they hope to get any major gaps on the field back into T2.
To put it in perspective using data from some top lead swim group athletes from last year, Kienle or Sanders would need to push upward of 30 more watts to bridge a four-minute gap by the turnaround point.
At this year’s IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship Kienle managed to close a four minute gap to Javier Gomez and Tim Don at around 54 miles into the race, but once he made the pass they were not content to let him pull away and the total effort cost him on the run.
With the increased emphasis on aerodynamics efficiency across the sport it will be hard for Kienle to repeat his dominating bike performance from 2014, where he gained 10+ minutes on many of the favorites.
The new wrinkle though could be Sanders’ swim progression, which he hopes to will allow him to shadow and exit the water near Kienle. At IRONMAN 70.3 St. George the two high powered cyclists motivated each other through the pack trying to catch Alistair Brownlee.
If they can repeat something similar at Kona the dynamics of the race will changes considerably in the back half of the course. If, however, the two previous years are any indication, most of the contenders will be content to keep contact and the bike gaps will remain small enough to let the race play out on the run.
Frodeno was the strongest all around athlete by far last year. The data from 2015 shows that he took the bike very easy and 2016 appeared no different. This year I suspect he will be tested a little more by an athlete like Ben Hoffman on the back half.
Additionally, if Patrick Lange is lurking, Frodo might push the bike effort himself more this year to have bigger gap for the run. We also expect to see Josh Amberger do what he does best with a great swim followed up by pushing the bike hard in his Kona debut.
We don’t expect him to maintain the pace like Ben Kanute at the 70.3 Worlds, but it throws a new dynamic into the mix with a strong swim/bike athlete that the race hasn’t seen in several years.
If Amberger can work with former pro cyclist Cameron Wurf on the last quarter of the bike, they could maintain a lead into T1— though neither has ever experienced a run like Kona.
Other front pack swim athletes (maybe even Frodeno) could be encouraged to go with Amberger if the opportunity is there to put extra gaps between themselves and a Sanders/Kienle duo.
We hesitate to even try to predict a top-three overall, but with all of the pre-race dynamics it is shaping up to be another historic year at the IRONMAN World Championship.
As always, we love to do power predictions for the pros, which we encourage you to check out, and even do a demo of the course for yourself.

Behind the scenes and beyond the film industry of the Jamestown Movie Set, is the hardworking MacInnes family, who not only own the property but have also nurtured it into the present day. The MacInnes’ are hands-on farmers who continue to develop their business and demonstrate that farming and film can go hand-in-hand. The MacInnes family graciously offered more insight into the establishment of Jamestown and their farming practices, as well as how they have shared their home and backyard with millions around the world.
SC: Can you share more about the MacInnes family, how long you have been living on your Langley property, and who is involved in the business?
MacInnes Family (MF): Rod and Wendy MacInnes moved onto the farm in May 1977 in the hopes to continue and expand their cow/calf operation. They built two large barns for the feedlot and increased their operation to 600 head. In 1978 Kevin, their first child was born and in 1980 Melanie was born. They continued their cow/calf operation until 1981 when they sold the cattle and converted the barns into a dairy operation, with 120 head of cows. In 1991 they sold their dairy business and planted 36 acres of cottonwood trees and converted the barns into 40 stables for horse boarding. In the 2000's Kevin met Krista and Melanie met Andrew, and then along came Ivy and Izzy (Kevin and Krista's daughters) and Sebastian and Lachlan (Melanie and Andrew's sons). The cottonwood trees were planted as a hard crop for Scott Paper to be used for toilet and computer paper. The trees are hybrids and grow quickly for harvesting every 10 years. However, the Scott Paper Mill, the buyers of the wood, shut down their pulp/paper mill; thus, rendering the cottonwood trees, useless.
SC: How did you begin the Jamestown Movie Set?
MF: After Scott Paper Mill shut down, we were scouted for a movie, which required a village, ironically, surrounded by cottonwood trees. They asked if they could build a small village, to which we said yes! After the filming was complete, we offered to keep the buildings, rather than see them disposed of in the landfills. We offered the small village to film productions that were interested in filming in BC. Around 2010 Peter DeLuise directed Beyond Sherwood Forest and The Book of Beasts which were both filmed in our cottonwood trees. There were lots of horses used in the film and a couple of the horse wranglers suggested we move the buildings and build a town, a western town. For some crazy reason we said sure and proceeded to move the buildings and built a western town, "Build it and they will come.”
SC: Where did the name Jamestown come from?
MF: The head carpenter is Wendy's brother Norman James Caplette and two of the horse wranglers involved in the town at the time had the first names "James," thus the name Jamestown.
SC: Can you share more about how your agricultural practices support the set?
MF: Surrounding the Jamestown Movie Set are fields of barley and hazelnut trees, near the mine are hop yards, honeybee hives and apple trees. Our biggest dream would be to see WCTH incorporate farming into the series, maybe with some old-fashioned harvesting, thus demonstrating where the residents of Hope Valley get their food.
SC: What are the types of crops that you have on the farm?
MF: 10 acres of Barley, 1 acre of Hops, 5 acres of Apple Trees, 5 acres of Hazelnut Trees, 50 honeybee hives and market gardens.
SC: How has the type of farming grown over the years?
MF: Melanie and Andrew are creating a permaculture style farm, which means working with the local topography and environment. MacInnes Farms is a beautiful piece of property with rolling hills, gullies and old growth trees, but in terms of farming this can make things difficult. Rather than work against nature we have decided to work with it. We have teamed up with the BC Farm Museum in Fort Langley and use old-fashioned farming equipment, as this works well with our land and allows people to see where farming came from and the antique equipment in use. The farm is also creating a 5-acre pollinator conservation area to help educate people about the importance of pollinators, as well they are completing an Environmental Farm Plan. We realize the importance of value-added products, thus inspiring us to start a farm brewery using all our own ingredients, Locality Brewing.
SC: How many movies/tv series/etc. are filmed at Jamestown every year?
MF: Within the set of Jamestown, WCTH is the primary occupant, but we have two film zones on MacInnes Farms that are geographically divided by a creek/gully. In total, we have had over 100 films in 10 years.
SC: When do you have set tours and who would Hearties contact to set that up?
MF: We have farm/set tours between filming of WCTH, which usually run between January to June. People can e-mail Melanie at firstname.lastname@example.org to enquire about tours. If you sign up to our newsletter there will be monthly updates about larger group tours and events. This is the link for the Newsletter .
SC: What has been the most enjoyable part of being the home of Hope Valley?
MF: Meeting the amazing people who make and produce the show, all the actors and of course we love Janette Oke, the author of the book series WCTH. The children and their parents are so much fun! We are blown away by the love and support from the Hearties, the fans of WCTH. Melanie and her two sons absolutely love being extras on the show.
SC: Are there any residents (ex: animals) who live there year-round?
MF: The horses from WCTH live in Hope Valley during filming and some of those horses live here, year-round. The picture is of Andy the horse, he is Abigail’s horse in WCTH but was also Price Charming's horse in Once Upon A Time. We have a farm dog and barn cats, as well as two lop-eared bunnies. We also have 300 free-range chickens and lots of wild visitors such as coyotes, deer, geese, ducks and prey birds. Oh and of course our resident honeybees!
SC: If Hearties were to visit British Columbia, where would you recommend that they visit?
MF: We highly recommend Fort Langley BC, the birthplace of BC (only 10 minutes from our farm), as well many Hallmark movies have been filmed there. Surrounding MacInnes Farms is the Langley Circle Farm Tour and the 248TH Historical Trail. If you are a horse lover, I recommend checking out the shows at Thunderbird Equestrian Centre. Also, we would recommend Grouse Mountain, Capilano Suspension Bridge, Whistler, Squamish, if you can go into the Rocky Mountains they are absolutely breathtaking.
SC: What has it meant to have When Calls the Heart airing in Canada at the same time as the Hallmark Channel?
MF: We absolutely love watching WCTH in parallel with our American neighbours. There were a couple years at the beginning where we were not caught-up with the American fans, so when they would come on a tour we wouldn’t know what had happened in that season yet! We now have so many more Canadian fans curious about the show and set. We love the mini-documentaries that Edify Films created, and that Super Channel uses in place of Hallmark’s commercial breaks. We love watching the making of the series, like about the creation of the costumes and hearing from the directors and the actors! We have been so lucky to have met Don McDonald, Super Channel’s CEO, and Shelley Page who communicates with the Hearties and with us through social media and events, making us feel connected to the network. Also we have been so impressed by the hard work and dedication by Desiree Nelson to get WCTH airing at the same time as the US. Talk about home grown TV! We are excited about Super Channel’s Heart & Home programming!
SC: What hopes/goals/dreams do you have for the future of the farm?
MF: So many! Ha! We are continuously dreaming but we would love to see a connection between farm/film, either with more farming in the background of shows or through mini-documentaries and miniseries about farming. We would like to continue to diversify the farm and connect people to the land where their food and drinks are grown. We also want to give people the opportunity to see a permaculture farm and hope we can be a successful model of biodiversity and farming. We have a big dream to open a farm store, with fresh produce from our farm and our neighbours, as well as a tasting room with beer made from the ingredients on our farm. You can start following our microbrewery and you can follow our farming ventures.
SC: Any fun facts/additional information that you can share about the farm, your family, or having WCTH filmed in your backyard?
MF: The historical trail, Telegraph Trail cuts through the farm, as well the original farmstead house was where the row houses are. There is a 100-year-old lilac tree in Elizabeth’s backyard. The original BC railway is the Southern Boundary of the farm and was instrumental in getting milk into Vancouver in the early 1900's. That first year, looking out the farmhouse window and seeing the widows with their faces covered in coal dust was an absolute spin out.
SC: From the early days of Coal Valley to the developing town of Hope Valley, the Jamestown Movie Set continues to be the home of the Hearties. The cast and crew have also indicated how unique this filming location is, as it physically takes them back into the early 1900s, in addition, to hardly ever needing to leave the Jamestown Movie Set to film elsewhere.
The MacInnes family have put their hearts into Hope Valley and hard work into their agricultural practices, pioneering a partnership between film and farm. Follow their innovative yet historical efforts on social media and consider signing up for the newsletter. Definitely do not miss a chance to visit this picturesque little town, because for the Hearties, the MacInnes’ are like family and the Jamestown Movie Set has become their Home Sweet Hope Valley Home.

All Mississippi counties and some cities can soon begin applying for federal Homeland Security grants.
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency plans to meet with the municipalities beginning May 1.
MEMA spokeswoman Amy Carruth said the state expects to receive $7.5 million in federal funds. Of that, municipalities can share up to $4.3 million to purchase equipment.
Carruth said counties and cities with a population of more than 10,000 could apply. She said MEMA uses a population-based formula to decide how much grant funding a city or county receives.
The department has awarded $1.9 million to Alabama for emergency management and terrorism preparedness activities.
Gov. Bob Riley said the grant will help state and local authorities become prepared for terrorist attacks.
The federal government now has given Alabama $2.3 million for such funding in the current fiscal year. The amount of the grant was based on population and risk and vulnerability assessments.

1 package extra firm tofu
Assemble the salad by draining the tofu and tossing it with the cabbage and carrots to make sure it's all coated in the dressing. I wanted it to be nice and crunchy so I actually found that I had to drain some of the liquid off, probably because I washed the cabbage and didn't thoroughly dry it, or the tofu wasn't drained well enough. Top with sesame seeds and sliced scallions. This is great the next day, but probably not much longer after that which is a shame because it makes a ton. I would recommend finding someone to share with.

I'm no pizza connoisseur. I like pizza, but I grew up on Dominos and to me most pizza falls into the category of good and bad. Here in Philly I have my favorite delivery standbys and for really gourmet pizza I'll go to Mama Palmas, but few inspire the nightime fantasies I experienced the other night.
I have this romantic vision of people who give up professional jobs to open up their own pizza shop as something that only happens on the Food Network or Desparate Housewives. Now I can say that I know someone who's making it a reality! I've tasted the pizza many times (although never been there) and from what I've tasted, it's everything it should be. It tastes homemade and tastes like the person who made it truly loves pizza and uses the best ingredients possible. We order it for every occasion in my office, and even though I eat a lot of it apparently I can't get enough. I'm drooling right now as I'm typing and imagining the garlicky bruschetta with fresh tomatoes.
For all you South Jerseyites out there or if you don't mind driving, check out V & S Pizza in Barrington, NJ.
Happy hour deals include cheap beer and the very popular pitchers of margaritas. The only complaint I have is that the happy hour special only applies to the regular flavor margarita and they have lots of flavors I'd like to try. We got a pitcher for the table, but for some reason I like drinking Tecate out of a can while eating mexican food.

None of this is news to you dear reader. You already know about the pleasure of a local beet and the evils of industrial food production. There are many out there who share the same values and are looking toward a future of sustainable agriculture. If we are to think about what more can be done, it is also worth learning from the past and the beginnings of this whole food revolution. While restaurants that serve local, seasonal food and small organic farms seem innovative right now, they are building on a legacy that actually started decades ago.
Anthony Bourdain has introduced me to the world of food and most notably to one chef in particular who in my mind is one of the most iconic chefs in recent history, Alice Waters. You may know of her landmark restaurant Chez Panisse in Berkeley as the birthplace of so called "Califronia Cuisine" and one of the first places to use local and seasonal ingredients. It has taken on an almost symbolic status to many and Alice Waters has become a leader in socially and environmentally concious eating.
I decided to learn more about her and the obvious choice was a book titled "Alice Waters and Chez Panisse." I got lucky on the first try and found it to be a very thorough and relatively objective look at Waters' personal life, the history of the restaurant, and the social and political environment that inspired her. Learning tidbits like the fact that Julia Child of all people criticized Waters' for her insistence on using the best ingredients really put things in perspective for me. She started a battle that we are maybe only just beginning to win through advocacy and education.
We still have a long ways to go but I'll take inspiration wherever I can get it.
In the abscence of being able to cook and eat elaborate meals and with time on my hands spent recovering I've been reading. A lot. There is great food writing out there and a lot I realize that I have to learn. I've been learning from my fellow food bloggers and there is no shortage of online recipe databases, but will anything replace the joy of a good old fashioned cookbook? I have admittedly shied away from cookbooks and recipies, but in my quest this summer to eat well I'm trying to expand my relatively narrow horizons. I have made a list of cookbooks that I want to add to my small collection including some classic and many contemporary.
While browsing Barnes and Nobles looking for something to cheer myself up from 2 weeks of misery I found it. The Farm to Table Cookbook. Simple, elegant, beautiful pictures, profiles on small family farmers, organized by season...
The reason I bought it? The author lives in Portland, OR. I have a slight obsession with Portland. Betty and I visited my brother out there and it was maybe the best trip of my life. If you like food go to Portland and you'll thank me later. The ingredients in this book, however, are ingredients that can be found locally and seasonally just about everywhere as confirmed by what I've been seeing here in Philly.
So maybe I won't actually be making Seared Scallops with Creamed Ramps and Black Truffles anytime soon, and this book certainly isn't vegetarian, but it's given me the inspiration that I needed. It has tons of tips too for navigating the markets.
Verdict: I highly recommend it.

I've been neglecting you lately, but I think I have a good reason. I went in for the fairly simple and very common procedure of wisdom teeth removal well over a week ago and am thoroughly convinced that my oral surgeon hates me and wants me to starve to death. Either that or he gets his kicks by secretly wiring people's jaws shut and waiting to see how long it takes them to figure it out.
So please don't talk to me about food. It's all I can think about, and if I have to eat another bite of applesauce or pudding I might cry. I broke down this weekend and shoved a burrito, steak, chicken and grilled cheese into the tiny gap between my teeth in desparation. Maybe funny to watch but not fun to swallow whole.
I've been collecting lots of ideas and pictures so no worries. Once I get back on my feet there will be plenty to talk about.

Pint of potatoes, yukon gold or fingerling are good
1 medium onion
Small bunch kale
Handful of savoy cabbage
Corn, fresh or frozen
1 can or box of vegetable broth
Seasonings of your choice
Saute onions, garlic and potatoes cut into bite size pieces in some olive oil over medium low until everything begins to brown. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, wash and prepare greens (pull the leaves away from the stalks.) Add the greens, corn, and broth and turn up the heat to medium so it comes to a simmer. Let simmer until its all warmed through and the potatoes and greens are soft. Season again and serve with bread.

It was the hardest 4-6 weeks of my life, waiting for that package to arrive. I felt like a little kid impatiently waiting for Christmas to come. Just when I had given up hope, there it was sitting in my mailbox. I practically skipped down the hall excited to tell Betty the good news.
But maybe I'm wrong to judge all of these products based on my own clumsiness and some cheaply made piece of plastic. How about the Bacon Genie? Can't go wrong with a name like that. So many choices, so little time...

Start by sautéing onions (2 - 4 medium to large, diced small) in a large heavy pot, both red and Vidalia's in the summer are great. Cook them until transparent with an assortment of green, red, and yellow peppers, all cut up into pretty small pieces with perhaps 1 to 2 tasty summer tomatoes (small ones). Use butter (the more the better - about a 1/4 cup = 1 stick unsalted for 4 lbs mussels and 2-3 lbs shrimp) and maybe a little olive oil. Don't cover the pot, you don't want to steam this mixture and you certainly don't want to burn it so watch the pot. Oh yes, I forgot one key ingredient: smoked bacon. Not some wimpy tofu vegi want-to-be stuff but the real thing, thick cut with a lot of taste (e.g. fat). Use as much bacon as you want (maybe 4 - 10 strips of the good thick kind) - nothing besides cheese makes food taste as good as bacon. You could also add smoked salmon instead of bacon but remember that it will get lost (disintegrate) in the mix although you will be able to taste the smokiness. Again, you just want all this stuff to be barely cooked and the onions just turning transparent. Add 2-4 cloves of diced garlic if you have it but make sure that it does not burn. It should take no longer than 5 to 10 minutes to prepare this mixture. Salt and pepper to taste. Add a few red pepper flakes for zing.
OK. This is where you add the prawns and mussels. Just throw the prawns into the pot, stirring frequently. It will not take long for them to turn pink. Maybe 3 - 5 minutes. When all of them have begun to turn color add the mussels. Cover the pot and leave it alone for about 2 - 5 minutes on medium heat. Check the pot and stir. If the mussels are not all open then cover it again and wait a few minutes (maybe even 1 is enough). When all of them are open you know that it is almost ready.
At this point add about 1 to 2 cups of heavy cream, pre-warmed is best but cold will do - you just have to heat it longer. No light anything. The fattier the better. Stir the cream into the seafood/onion-stuff mixture. This should be close to a boil. Be careful - you don't want to curdle or burn the cream.
Add about 1/4 cup of cognac or brandy. Pernot would also be fine but in this case I would skip the smokey bacon or salmon. Simmer but not long. If it looks like there is not going to be enough liquid then you can add some more of the broth and heat. The liquid is part of the meal so you want an ample amount for the folks to sop it all up with French bread.
Serve it with the bread - large loaf pulled apart or cut into slices. I'd get 1 to 2 loaves for this dish. Also, very cold Vodka or white wine is great with this. I tried out a new Russian vodka flavored with marsh berries (similar to cranberries) which was delicious. I think you know where it came from - can't buy it here in the USA.
A great summer dish that won't disappoint. Best to Fred.

I made a dipping sauce of:
Adapted from the Food Network.
Saturday, June 6, 2009
1 cup uncooked cous cous
1 stalk green onion
1 pint cherry tomatoes
Small bunch radishes (mine are white icicle from my CSA)
2 small cucumbers
Salt and pepper
While the cous cous cooks slice all your veggies. Toss with the cooled, cooked cous cous and voila!

Heat your oil over medium heat. You'll know its hot when you touch the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon and you see small bubbles. Drop your fries in a couple at a time, watching carefully. It should only take a couple of minutes for them to turn golden brown.
Drain on paper towels and salt while still warm. Next time I'll have to make a dipping sauce for them. Any ideas?

I think I had an epiphany yesterday when I realized there are many gaps in my basic cooking skills. I usually get by in the kitchen because I'm not picky and I have a fairly good idea that when you mix some of this with some of that it will taste good. If I had a modern, clean and well stocked kitchen maybe I would be able to practice all those techniques I see on the Food Network. Oops I mean public television. But I don't. I have a sink, a stove, and an oven that doesn't work. Add to that my trusty toaster oven which I use for everything and my newly acquired mini (Wilma sized) food processor while keeping in mind that my kitchen doubles as my bedroom and living room.
I purchased some frozen premade broccoli and cheese out of desperation at the grocery store. I immediately regretted that decision. Fred informed me that he had some fresh cauliflower and I had some leftover cheddar from the farmer's market. Now yes, I could melt some cheese on the cauliflower and call it a casserole, but having this blog inspires and challenges me. Every meal is a potential post or at least an interesting anecdote, and this meal was of course no exception.
I didn't measure and I don't have a whisk so it was made Wilma style. I think lumps add character.
This I learned from my dad- cheese makes everything taste good.

Now, despite my predilection for Japanese food, I am German and like a good borderline obsessive compulsive Kraut, I've organized the mise en place before starting to cook with everything that you'll need:
Bundle of soba noodles
Sheet of nori (a type of seaweed)*
Hijiki (yet another seaweed), soaked in water for 30 minutes and then drained*
1TBSP rice wine vinegar
1TBSP sesame oil
1-2 TBSP white miso (experiment with amount to taste)*
Green onions, sliced
White icicle radishes, cut into matchsticks
Sesame seeds for garnish, toasted
Soy sauce to taste
*You can find miso(refrigerated section), nori and hijiki in any Asian supermarket or the ethnic food aisle well stocked megamart.
I must admit, though, I was loathe to cut up this little guy since I thought he kind of looked like the mandrake root from Pan's Labyrinth, an phenomenal movie you should throw in the Netflix queue if you haven't yet seen it yet.
Finally, though certainly an optional ingredient (well, its not an ingredient at all but an absolute necessity for me), is a nice pot of French press coffee and my constant companion at home and in the office, Papa Hemingway.
While your water is boiling, a few words about nori. Seaweed is a great thing to experiment with if you're a vegetarian. Its basically a superfood loaded with iron, calcium, vitamins and everything else vegetarians should keep an eye on nutritionally speaking. Its very common in Japanese cooking and the Japanese diet is a large factor for their high life expectancy. To prepare, heat a frying pan to low heat and let it toast there a sheet at a time. Keep an eye on it though, we'll be returning later.
Add all your liquid ingredients into a meh-sized mixing bowl and whisk until completely emulsified like so...
It should look like slightly watered down peanut butter and I usually will add a little water to thin the dish both to lighten the meal itself and also to help with the mixing. A quick sidenote, this also makes a great marinade for vegetables, tofu, tempeh or, and I'm conjecturing here obviously, fish or chicken for our more carnivorously-minded friends.
Your nori should be finished toasting by now. How do you know its finished toasting? Well either the ever vigilant Papa Bear gives you a heads up or you see that it has changed colour from a dark, almost black green into that bright, neon green that you would recognize if you've ever munched a maki roll at your local sushi joint. Use your tongs to grab the sheets from your pan and slice into thin strips. Now that your pan is free, you still have enough time to throw in some sesame seeds to toast while you wait for the soba noodles to cook. If you've ever toasted whole cumin seeds, its the same idea; you want to toast these guys until they start to smell nutty and pop up out of the pan itself.
Once your soba noodles are finished, drain into a colander and rinse under cold water. This is another difference between soba and Italian pastas. Even though you would rinse Italian pasta after cooking if you intended to make a salad like we are her to stop the cooking, you always want to do this with soba, even if you're making a hot dish. Why? I don't know you just do. Now shut up and finish cooking so you can eat.
To finish, simply throw all your ingredients into the mixing bowl and use your tongs to combine. Garnish with the green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Oh, and if you drink coffee while cooking like I do, you might want to finish it up before you eat, soba noodles and coffee don't get along all that well. A delicious Japanese lager like Kirin Ichiban of course would be a better matching beverage wise. Enjoy.
I know that I have been on hiatus for a while. But, Betty is back with loads of stories, insight, tips. Barney surprised me yesterday by coming over and cooking dinner at my place. All I knew was I wanted the yellow corn we acquired from a friend and the delicious scallops we picked up on Sunday. As hard as it was for me to stay out of the kitchen, I kept myself preoccupied in the other room on my computer. Luckily, Barney can multi-task, so I was able to keep myself entertained with witty conversation about malnutrition and unequal access to food while Barney created masterpieces in the kitchen.
In precisely an hour – the time Barney promised he would be done – I walked into my transformed kitchen and dining area. The table was set and dinner was waiting for me to dig in. Barney had done it again! To my surprise, he had stir fried the scallops with the kale I received from the CSA pick-up with onion and garlic (and other things he will NOT divulge) and served this on top of rigatoni and herbs. In another pan, he created a spicy scallop dish on which he wanted to serve on a salad. I was unsure of this scallop salad and lovingly he adjusted the menu for me. To complete the meal, we had yellow corn and a simple salad with romaine lettuce, fresh tomatoes, and red onion and a mysterious creamy dressing that was heavenly.
Dinner was phenomenal! I mixed the spicy and sauté scallops with my pasta, devoured my corn, and savored every bite of my salad. I have to admit that if I had trusted Barney a little more (sad face) I would have enjoyed his scallop salad. However, what he created kept us both silent through the meal. It has always be apparent that Barney can cook; but, I have to say he outdid himself this time. He may have just made himself a more permanent fixture in the blog with his own segment………

I've heard about the Schuylkill Center and that's where he rents his land from. If I ever have a way of getting out there and enough time and money I will definitely join their organic community garden.
There's actually a community garden right by my house in the Schuylkill River Park but I don't believe it's open to the public. So maybe I'm not good enough to join their stupid garden (I see them in there, all smug) but the history of it is pretty cool. It was started in 1982 and is now in the Smithsonian Institution's Archives of American Gardens.
Well for now I'll just have to reminisce about the days when my dad and I grew flowers, herbs, and veggies on our back deck. Fresh tomatoes and basil picked from our deck is maybe my favorite memory from home. The time my mom grew some habanero peppers and I ate one whole is probably my least favorite.
Betty’s Bumpin Banana Bread
2 cups flour
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
¾ cup sugar
½ cup butter (1 stick, room temperature)
2 eggs, beaten
2-4 bananas that are freckled or completely black
Preheat oven 325°F. Combine flour, salt, baking soda in a bowl. If you have sifter, pour ingredients through twice to eliminate clumps and incorporate more thoroughly. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until mostly combined. Add eggs and bananas to mixture. Add flour mixture to banana mixture. Mixture should look wet and have no flour visible.
Pour into a greased loaf pan (spray pan in pan until well coated) and bake in oven for 60-70 minutes. Stick a toothpick or butter knife in the middle to make sure bread is all the way cooked. It should come out clean when it is completely cooked. Let bread cool in pan for 10-15 minutes. Turn out and continue cooling on a wire rack. Bon appetite!
Maybe there will be elaborate meals and creative dishes along the way, otherwise it wouldn't be a challenge right? The beauty of good ingredients is that they taste good prepared simply or elaborately, so I will do my best to highlight the ingredients themselves. This first week is a great example.
My weekend breakfast staple of eggs and toast was made with ingredients from the Rittenhouse Farmer's Market:
Raw milk cheddar cheese
Spinach and parmesan baguette

Well anyways, I was quite impressed with the nice spread they have growing like cabbage, tomatoes and fresh herbs. They also are part of a CSA and frequent Weaver's Way Co-op. Maybe I'll move to the suburbs.
*In case you don't understand my sense of humor, I am being completely sarcastic and have nothing but the utmost respect for farmers. I will gladly eat whatever they choose to give me every week and appreciate the hard work that goes into all the delicious food they provide. | <urn:uuid:805fc5e2-0db5-41ed-93be-c5389442551b> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://worstvegetarianever.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html | 2016-05-05T12:17:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860127407.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161527-00128-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968428 | 4,731 |

...that is, time for the Comment Challenge, which is hosted this year by MotherReader and Lee Wind. It's a great opportunity to visit and re-visit blogs around the kidlitosphere and book blogging world, and show support for the community. I've been far too much of a wimp in past years, but I'm giving it a shot this year, and so far, so good--but we're only two days in. I still have time to fall off the wagon.
Of course, there are some of us (ahem) who are already awesome blog-commenting maniacs, but if you're like me, sometimes you need a little encouragement from time to time...and this is that time. If you haven't already, go sign up and check out the amazing list of participants.
There are a couple of other things I'd been meaning to post. Firstly, I got a really touching e-mail from Hardy Girls Healthy Women listing girls' top wishes for 2010. #1 on the list, from Devan, reads: "My wish for 2010 is for everyone to realize the importance of girls in their communities, that their ideas can change the world for the better." Check out other resolutions for cultural change from their Girls' Advisory Board on the HGHW blog.
Also, a bit belatedly perhaps, we are SO STOKED to hear that the new Ambassador for Young People's Literature is Katherine Paterson--yet another much-loved and much-admired luminary who is excellent for the job. By the way--embarrassing admission here--I'm probably one of the only people in the universe, or at least of my reading generation, who has not read Bridge to Terabithia (I know, I know! Just don't judge me too harshly). But I've certainly read other books by Paterson and I look forward to seeing her put her own spin on the job so unforgettably trail-blazed by Jon Scieszka.
The Cybils judging period is well underway, and since I'm a Graphic Novels judge, I'll be avoiding reviewing any GN finalists under consideration, but expect a mother of a review post (or three) once the winners are announced! Just over a month to go... | <urn:uuid:7c0b24f4-e242-4099-a465-660faa66c2b3> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://writingya.blogspot.com/2010/01/its-that-time-of-year.html | 2022-09-26T06:09:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334802.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220926051040-20220926081040-00031.warc.gz | en | 0.964985 | 471 |

Balance of Power (Japanese: トウカジム戦！五つ目のバッジ！！ Touka Gym! The Fifth Badge!!) is the 70th episode of the Advanced Generation series, and the 344th episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on April 1, 2004 and in the United States on March 19, 2005.
Ash challenges Gym Leader Norman for a badge. While they battle, Team Rocket is busy digging a tunnel under the Gym.
Norman's Slakoth begins with Hidden Power, and Pikachu can't hit it. Pikachu is then immobilized by Slakoth's Blizzard, so Ash switches the Electric-type out for Torkoal. Torkoal takes out Slakoth with Flamethrower.
In turn, Torkoal is taken down by a Scratch attack from Vigoroth. Ash sends Pikachu back out, and when the two Pokémon make physical contact, Vigoroth is paralyzed by Pikachu's Static ability. Pikachu uses Iron Tail to knock out Vigoroth, but also faints.
In the end Ash's Grovyle faces off against Norman's Slaking. Slaking manages to counter all of Grovyle's attacks, and then uses Earthquake. The shaking disrupts Team Rocket's plans, and puts them up against some angry Dugtrio.
Low on HP, Grovyle's Overgrow ability increases its Attack power, and the Grass-type knocks Slaking out with a combination of Pound and Leaf Blade. All his Pokémon defeated, Norman awards the Balance Badge to Ash.
However, Max is upset at his father's loss, so he runs off with the badge. Norman talks things over with Max, explaining that the experience of losing is just as important as winning. Max returns the badge to Ash, who celebrates winning his fifth Gym badge.
Ash enters the Petalburg Gym, ready for his battle against Norman. Norman tells him that he's been waiting for another fight with Ash ever since their last battle, and Ash says he's more than willing to take Norman up on his offer! Watching from the sidelines, May says she's excited to see how the match turns out. Max tells her that their dad is certain to win. Brock and Caroline tell him that he should just relax and enjoy the match without worrying about the final result.
Outside of town, Team Rocket begins construction on their new secret base. Meowth says that after they finish building their base, the Boss will be certain to give them a promotion. With the thoughts of corporate credit cards as their motivation, all of Team Rocket, including Wobbuffet, begin working.
Back at the Gym, Kenny is the referee announces the rules of the match: three Pokémon, but only Ash is allowed substitutions. Raising his flags, Kenny signals for the match to begin and both Ash and Norman send out their first Pokémon, Norman's Slakoth against Ash's Pikachu. Utilizing Pikachu's Speed, Ash orders Pikachu to use Quick Attack, Slakoth dodges and counterattacks with Shadow Ball. Jumping out of the way, Pikachu attacks with Iron Tail but misses once again as Slakoth leans out of the way. Dazed, Pikachu is unable to dodge Slakoth's Hidden Power, and is blasted across the arena.
On the sidelines, Brock tells May and Max what kind of attack strategy their father is using. He knew from watching Ash before that he favored using Pikachu as an opener, using its powerful speed attacks to knock the enemy off balance and gain control of the battle. By using a slow Pokémon like Slakoth who could dodge Pikachu's attacks, Norman was forcing Ash to fight at his pace, giving him control over the match.
As Pikachu recovers from Hidden Power, Ash realizes that he needs to change his strategy. He decides to try Electric attacks and orders Pikachu to attack with Thunder. However, Slakoth dodges this attack as well, and responds with Blizzard. The incredible cold keeps Pikachu from attacking back, so Ash recalls it and calls out Torkoal instead. Torkoal uses Flamethrower, which easily blasts through Slakoth's Blizzard and scores a direct hit, knocking Slakoth out. With Slakoth out of commission, Norman calls out his next Pokémon, Vigoroth. Dodging Torkoal's Overheat, Vigoroth knocks Torkoal out with Scratch. With Torkoal down, Ash sends Pikachu back into the arena. Brock explains that by using the hyperactive Vigoroth right after the slow laid back Slakoth Norman is able to disorient his opponents and knock them off balance, as the skills necessary to defeat Vigoroth are completely different from those used against Slakoth. Meanwhile, Team Rocket continues construction on their new hideout. Yelling through a megaphone, Meowth orders Jessie and James to work harder. They respond by dropping a box on him and telling him to help out too.
In the arena, Vigoroth dodges a Thunderbolt from Pikachu and attacks with Scratch. Pikachu blocks the attack with Iron Tail, but is hit with a surprise attack when Vigoroth uses Flamethrower. Max says that it's amazing that Vigoroth can use an attack like Flamethrower, causing Caroline to tell him that Norman is fighting Ash more seriously then he fights normal Trainers. May says that Ash should substitute Pikachu, but Brock tells her that if he does that, his only reserve Pokémon will be the already injured Pikachu. He has no choice but to use Pikachu as long as possible. Sizing up Vigoroth, Ash suddenly comes up with a plan. He orders Pikachu to use Quick Attack, dodging a Flamethrower from Vigoroth. As Pikachu closes the distance, Norman orders Vigoroth to use Scratch, but is surprised when Ash tells Pikachu to take the hit. Vigoroth's Scratch attack hits home, but the powerful Pokémon is suddenly paralyzed by Pikachu's innate Static Ability. Seizing the opportunity, Pikachu attacks with Iron Tail, knocking Vigoroth out. However the effort is too much for Pikachu and it passes out as well, resulting in a double KO.
After removing Pikachu from the battlefield, Ash and Norman send out their last remaining Pokémon, pitting Slaking against Grovyle. Ash attacks first by ordering Grovyle to use Bullet Seed, but Slaking easily blocks the attack with its hands, sustaining no damage at all. Grovyle attacks again with Leaf Blade, but Slaking grabs it mid attack and tosses Grovyle back across the arena. Slaking begins to attack with Focus Punch but is stopped after Grovyle hits it in the face with Bullet Seed. The attack angers Slaking, who begins to go into a rage. It attacks with a powerful Earthquake.
In their new hideout, Team Rocket feels the effects of Slaking's Earthquake, which rouses a group of nearby Dugtrio. Blaming the Dugtrio for the Earthquake, Jessie kicks a rock at them. Angrily, the Dugtrio begin to chase Team Rocket around their cave.
Meanwhile, Grovyle dodges the Earthquake by jumping. It attempts a Pound attack, but Slaking grabs it in midair and tosses Grovyle into the ceiling. Grovyle counterattacks with Bullet Seed, but Slaking blocks with a powerful Hyper Beam, which cuts through the Bullet Seed and sends Grovyle flying. Watching Grovyle struggle to its feet, Norman suggests that Ash withdraw from the match for Grovyle's safety. Ash begins to consider it, but stops when Grovyle indicates that it wants to keep fighting. Ash tells Grovyle to show Norman what it's made out of. Inspired by Ash's confidence, Grovyle activates its Overgrow Ability, which powers up its Grass-type attacks.
Leaping back into combat, Grovyle dodges both an Earthquake and Slaking's clumsy attempts to grab it. It begins bouncing around the arena. Dodging a Hyper Beam, Grovyle hits Slaking with a powerful Pound. Norman congratulates Ash for his recovery, but tells him that he'll need more than just speed to beat Slaking. He orders Slaking to attack with Focus Punch while Ash tells Grovyle to use Leaf Blade. The two attack each other at the same time, and after a moment's pause, Slaking falls to the ground. Shocked at his father's loss, Max can only stare in disbelief as Brock and May congratulate Ash on his victory.
Later, Norman presents Ash with the Balance Badge - however, before he can give it away, Max grabs it and runs away. Locking himself in the Gym's greenhouse, he tells everybody gathered outside that it was unacceptable for his dad to lose the match and that it's not okay for a Trainer like him to lose in a Pokémon battle. Norman tells him that losing is just as important as winning, and that sometimes life's most important lessons are learned through losing. Ash tells Max that he really doesn't need the Badge, beating Norman in a fight taught him enough that he'd be satisfied without one. Touched by their words, Max comes out and gives the Badge back, but not before promising his Dad that they'll battle too, once he becomes a Trainer.

Pokémon Trainer's Choice: Slugma
- In the Latin American dub, when Ash orders Grovyle to use Leaf Blade, he refers to the move as Razor Leaf, which is a common error.
- Also when Brock explains the strategy of Norman between Slakoth and Vigoroth, he calls Slakoth as Slaking.

A COUPLE were out for the day when they received a call from the fire service to say their house was on fire.
Gemma Hothersall and her fiance Alan Houghton were at a family event in St Helens when they found out their home in Collingwood, Clayton-le-Moors, had gone up in flames.
Two crews from Accrington fire station spent almost two hours battling the blaze, which was started by a faulty extractor fan in their en-suite bathroom.
They were alerted to the fire by a dog walker who spotted sparks coming from the roof at around 5.15pm on Saturday.
Miss Hothersall, a 31-year-old teacher, praised the firefighters after they prevented the damage from spreading beyond the bathroom.
She said: “The drive back from St Helens was the longest journey of our lives.
“The fire brigade managed to use our house phone and get hold of my mum, Pat, who was on her way to Mass.
“She rang me and then we left straight away. The firemen were amazing, they’re really good at calming you down, I can’t thank them enough.”
The couple’s dog, Buddy, and two kittens, Stanley and Pippa, were rescued by the firefighters. They were uninjured.
Mr Houghton, a designer, said the couple had only moved into the house a month ago and were under the impression the fan did not work.
He said they would have to renovate the upstairs bathroom in the New Year, which would probably cost thousands of pounds.
Ash has also caused some minor damage to the couple’s adjoining bedroom, and they will have to sleep elsewhere until the fire service has carried out a full assessment of the incident.
Mr Houghton said: “The firefighters deserve great credit for what they do on a limited budget.
“We’re also very grateful to the passer-by who rang the fire brigade. We’re quite lucky it was dark because otherwise he wouldn’t have noticed the sparks.
“Because the smoke was rising our smoke alarm didn’t pick it up. If he hadn’t noticed it we might not be standing here in the living room now.” | <urn:uuid:9edb7495-872c-45c8-aec2-b3f5d2c86a2c> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/10085291.Dog_walker_raises_alarm_after_seeing_sparks_at_Clayton_le_Moors_house/ | 2017-03-27T10:56:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218189471.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212949-00648-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982941 | 487 |
2. God said: Behold, with my sacred people have I established myself in written words. Now hath it come to pass that all the races of men on earth shall be made to know me.
3. God commanded man to make stone and wooden images, and engravings also, of everything upon the earth; and man so made them according to his own knowledge.
4. God said: As every living creature hath a name, so shall the image thereof and the engraving thereof have the same name. And even so shall it be with all things on the earth, and in the waters thereof, and in the air above the earth; the image and the engravings shall have the same names, even as the real things themselves.
5. And God sent his angels down to man, to inspire him in the workmanship of images and engravings, and man thus accomplished the commandments of God.
6. And these were the first writings since the flood, other than such as were kept secret amongst the I'hins. And of this manner were the writings, to wit:
7. A picture of a man was a man; a picture of a tree was a tree; a picture of a bird was a bird; and even so was everything represented by its own name and image.
8. Then God said: When thou hast made the picture of a spear, behold it is a spear. And when thou desirest to show which way a man goeth, thou shalt add to the graven image the likeness of a spear; and the way it pointeth, shall show the way man goeth. Even so shalt thou express the going of everything on earth and in heaven.
9. Thus man made a written language, and in every region of the earth. By many men were these things done; according to the light of God upon them, so accomplished they the written languages of thousands of tribes of men.
10. God said: This shall be called the Panic language (Ah-ce-o-ga), because it is made of earthly images. And, in after ages, whoever desireth to find the first written words of man, shall have recourse to the pictures of all things on earth, and in the waters, and in the air above the earth.
11. God said: As in the olden time man named all things according to their own spoken words and sounds uttered, so in the days of Thor came the written words of everything on earth and in heaven.
12. When man had written the name of all things, one only had he not written, even the name of his Creator.
13. God said: Even that also shalt thou write. Then man inquired: O Lord, how can I find a word to express the Creator?
14. God said: Many tribes have I raised upon the earth, and, behold, they have all written the names of all things, save only the Creator. Go to, therefore, and write thou His name also.
15. Man said: Alas, O my God! I know no name, save the names I have already made. If I could hear the Creator, or see Him, then could I write His name.
16. God said: Thou hast named the wind (wh-sh!), which thou hast not seen. Name thou thy Creator. And His name shall comprehend all things, far and near, seen and unseen.
17. Then man drew a circle and called it O, for it represented that which was without beginning or end, and which contained all within it. Then man drew a line cutting through the circle from east to west, to represent the light of the east traveling to the west. Then man drew a line from below upward, cutting the circle at right angles with the horizontal, to represent the one road of all things, from the bottom upward forever. The first line man called E, for it was the same as the wind speaketh in the leaves. But the second line he called IH, for it represented that unseen shaft that cutteth all things in twain.
18. And when man had completed the engraving, he called it E-O-IH!
19. God said: In this, thy symbol, thou hast found the way of a true square (true cross) and the four quarters of the world. (See tablet Se'moin, Book of Saphah.)
20. Keep thou His name and the image thereof a secret betwixt the rab'bahs and thy God. Neither shalt thou utter it aloud, for it is sacred upon the earth.
21. Betwixt thee and thy Creator standeth thy God, who is Lord of heaven and earth. Behold, I am the key of life and death; through me, thy Lord, shalt thou unlock all the mysteries of heaven and earth.
22. Neither shall my rab'bah, nor my prophets, call on the name of any spirit, save the Lord, who is God. The words I give corporeally I have recorded in heaven; neither can man alter my records and make them accord with that which is written above. But in the lapse of time I provide seers and prophets, to whom I can reveal to mortals the things of heaven.
23. This have I spoken to Jehovih for thee: Man shall measure Thy hand upon him; remember Thy eye upon him; seek for Thy wisdom within him; and be thankful for Thy good things before him; to consider the little good of them that deny Thee; the conceit of them that claim to be self-made; and the folly of uttering other glories than Thine, and yet to mention them not; for these are the attaining of wisdom.
2. The Lord said: The voice of man is air in motion; by the mouth of man cometh the word of knowledge.
3. But back of the voice; back of the air in motion; back of the mouth, which giveth voice, there lieth the soul, which it is that causeth man to think of speaking. And the soul lieth in the ocean of the Creator, Who is God of all.
4. The Lord said: That that speaketh to thy soul, O man, teaching thee wisdom and good works; reproving thee for thy faults, and enchanting thee with the glories of all created things, is the voice of thy Creator. And that is the road by which the Lord thy God cometh to thee.
5. The Lord said: Behold, man hath attained to written knowledge; now shall he have books, and learn to keep records, after the manner of the angels in heaven. Then God sent angels down to man, speaking both by the soul and by the voice; in different places and to different rab'bahs, teaching them how to make books of skins, and of bark, and of cloth, for the graven words and images which he had taught man.
6. In these days the lands of Jaffeth and Shem and Ham were inhabited by millions of I'huans and Ghans; but the countries lying between them were inhabited by I'huans only.
7. And God spake to the people of Ham, saying: Behold, there are two other countries inhabited by kin of your kin, flesh of your flesh, and they are Ghans also. And they speak and write with Panic words, even as ye do.
8. And the Hamites inquired: How far are the two other countries? Where are they?
9. The Lord said: Gather together a thousand men and women, and I will lead you to your brethren, whose forefathers were also saved from the flood; saved by the sacred little people, the I'hins. Provide ye oxen and asses and all things requisite for a journey of four years, and I will lead you.
10. The Hamites obeyed God, and provided themselves as commanded; into two companies of a thousand each equipped they themselves, and started on their journey for Jaffeth and Shem.
11. Then spake God to the people of Jaffeth, saying: Behold, there are two other countries inhabited by kin of your kin, flesh of your flesh, and they are Ghans also. And they speak and write with Panic words, even as ye do.
12. The Jaffeth'yans said: How far are the two other countries? Where are they?
13. The Lord said: Gather together a thousand men and women, and I will lead you to your brethren, whose forefathers were also saved from the flood; saved by the sacred little people, the I'hins. Provide ye in all things requisite for a journey of four years, and I will lead you.
14. The Jaffeth'yans obeyed God, and provided themselves as commanded; into two companies of a thousand each equipped they themselves and started for Ham and Shem.
15. Then spake the Lord to the people of Shem in the same way, telling them of Jaffeth and Ham; and they also equipped themselves in two companies and started for Ham and Jaffeth.
16. Thus provided God these three separate peoples to go and visit one another, and all in the same period of time. And God said unto them, ere they started: Very fierce and savage are the I'huans who inhabit the wilderness on the way. Behold, they eat the flesh of both man and beast. But they will not harm the I'hins; therefore, O my beloved, on your long journey take with you two score of I'hins. Through the I'hins can the Lord your God speak all languages, even the language of the barbarians, the I'huans.
17. Leave all things in the hands of the Lord God.
18. So it came to pass, after a journey of four years, the migrants from each country came to the place of their destination. And by their written and spoken words knew they one another; and they called themselves the three children of the arc of Noe.
19. And the Lord said unto them in each of the countries whither they had come: Provide records unto the work of God; for these journeys shall be remembered to the end of the world.
20. And in all these countries there were made images of stone and copper, and engravings thereon of the children of Noe, and of the flood, and of the sacred tribes, Shem, Ham and Jaffeth.
21. God said: These shall be preserved as the first written names of these lands. And it was so.
2. Thence spake the Lord to the migrants in their respective places, saying: Behold, the time is come for your departure. Gather together, O my beloved, and return to your own country, and there relate all the glories that your God hath shown you.
3. So they departed, and returned to their own respective places. And, behold, it took four years to accomplish the journey.
4. Now during the travel of the migrants the Lord spake to them every day; through the I'hin priests spake the Lord unto them.
5. The Lord said: Keep together, O my beloved. I will lead you; ye shall not be lost.
6. Nevertheless, the journey was so long that many lost faith, and were not heedful of the words of God. And some of them strayed off amongst the I'huans, the barbarians, and were lost.
7. Of the six thousand migrants, there were lost ten tribes; in all, three hundred and eighty-six people, men and women. Some were lost in one place and some in another.
8. God said: Sing ye songs of lamentations to my chosen who are lost, the Faithists in Jehovih. For this also shall become a matter of record to the end of the world.
9. Nevertheless, a time shall come when the Lord your God shall reveal the mystery of this day.
10. So, when the people had returned to their respective places, behold they all sang songs of lamentation for the tribes that were lost.
11. God said: I have shown you the far-off people; I have marked out the road. Keep the road open; keep the travel open between the great countries I have shown you.
12. Every eleven years shall one expedition start to the far-off countries. And, if perchance ye find my chosen, bring them home.
13. And on all the camping places of your journey shall ye build an altar to the Lord your God. In a circle shall ye build it; and the congregation shall sit in the circle thereof, but the priest shall sit in the midst. And, behold, I will speak in the mouth of my priest words of wisdom and comfort.
14. But, in all your journeys, keep aloof from the I'huans, the barbarians, the man-eaters. For they kept not my commandments; nor preserved they their seed through the circumcision.
15. But they mixed with the druks (ground people) and went down in darkness (barbarism).
16. Keep ye away from them, O my beloved; carry with you, on all your expeditions, I'hin priests, the sacred people, the mound-builders.
17. In your journeys ye shall encounter your brethren coming and going, who dwell in the far-off countries. That ye may distinguish them, keep secret the sacred password and the rites of my chavah (order).
2. Wherein it was constantly commanded, in the ancient sacred writings, to avoid going down to destruction, and they obeyed not the commandments of the Lord, behold ye the light of your God in this day.
3. For the I'huans, even before the flood, were in the first place born capable of everlasting life. But they mixed with the druks until the seed of the spirit of eternal life became exhausted, and they brought forth heirs incapable of self-sustenance in heaven. Hence it was said of them: They went down in darkness.
4. Now after awhile a new race of I'huans was brought forth, and they were at first capable of All Light and of everlasting life. But they also kept not the commandments of the Lord; but also mixed with the druks (the ground people), and they descended rapidly on the road of everlasting death (as a race).
5. But the Lord your God created the new race, the Ghans, capable of an upward inspiration.
6. And he gave unto them the same commandments, to preserve their seed from the races beneath them, lest they go down in darkness also.
7. To which end thy Lord gave unto them certain rites and ceremonies and pass-words, in addition to the circumcision, which would enable them to distinguish with whom they should mingle according to the commandments of God.
8. Behold ye then the testimony which I lay before you, that ye may perceive the wisdom of my ways: For it wil be said by some that there is a law of evolution whereby man riseth from a lower to a higher state as the earth groweth older.
9. But I say unto you, there is no such law. Save but by the labor of thy Lord and thy God, through their angels, man riseth not upward; but he goeth the other way.
10. In which matter, behold, I have left many nations and peoples before you to this day, who are on the downward road. And ye have corporeal records before you, showing you that in times past, the same countries were inhabited by a higher race.
11. For thus Jehovih created man, to go as readily down the mountain as up it.
12. Behold, all resurrection cometh from above; all aspiration cometh from the Lord and his angels. For man, being in the flesh, goeth rather to the desires of the flesh than to the spirit.
13. As the light of the sun causeth sleep to pass away, so doth the light of Jehovih, through His Gods and Lords and angels, cause the soul of men to awake to the possibilities of everlasting life in the exalted heavens.
14. This also have I, thy Lord, proven in the world: that they who fall from the light of the Father, lose their symmetry and beauty of proportions.
15. Behold, in the time of Thor, man considered not the shapeliness of his spouse, nor the mold of her face, nor the clearness of her voice, nor her wit, nor conversational powers.
16. By all strategems, and devices, and rites and ceremonies, have the Gods and Lords labored to make man mindful of the way of resurrection through the tree of life.
17. But even in this day, behold, the mother bartereth off her daughter to a rich man; and the man seeketh a spouse of wasted flesh for the sake of gold. And they bring forth heirs of crime.
18. And man crieth out: He cannot be a good God that createth these!
19. But I say unto you, they keep not my commandments; they have gone astray in the wilderness.
20. Be wise, O man; from that which is before you, remember the times of the ancients, and the labor of the Lord your God.
21. In the beginning of the cycle of Thor, the Lord opened up many ways for the deliverance of the tribes of men on the earth; and man prospered in the way of God for a long season.
22. Then darkness came upon the races of men; millions of them returned to a state of savagery. And angels of darkness came upon the earth, verily taking upon themselves the semblance of corporeal forms, and dwelling with mortals, and engaging in practices whereof it is unlawful to write or speak.
23. So that, at the termination of three thousand years, the lands of the earth were covered with darkness.
24. And Jehovih cast a vail over the face of the sun, and it shone not in brightness for many years. (For these nebulous periods, see the latter part, Book of Ben.)

As promized here-attached is an exemple of B-V extraction from the B and G DSLR channels. The results are not perfectly in agreement with the catalog values but well within their usual uncertainty.
I did check my notes from the review of IRIS I made beginning 2010, it says the split_CFA command parameters order is well GBRG for several Canon cameras and GRBG for Nikon cameras. We are in agreement.
Hi Roger, HB
I've just published on my Gdrive 2 spreadsheets,
Eps Aur 2012-10-23-15-manual.ods and Eps Aur 2012-10-23-14 greens only.ods .
The first one has been filled with photometry data from a finalG.pic image obtained following the tutorial way, splitting the final image in R-G-B layers at the end of stacking of 15 images. The procedure was fully manual, since I don't trust my IRIS scripts anymore.
The second one has been filled with photometry data on finalG.pic image obtained by separating the G layers from original pics after the preprocessing stage and then registering and stacking 30 green images only. This time too, I worked completely in manual.
The resulting image has been scaled with ASCALE command before photometry because its resulting X-Y size is half the size of the finalG.pic image obtained following the tutorial way
The inner circle size in both cases has been chosen with the rule 3 x max(FWHM).
As you can see, the measures of the second spreadsheet has higher errors ( > 30 mmag ) so there should be something wrong, maybe I had to split the GRBG channels before preprocessing?
I'm planning to buy a SkyWatcher Startravel 120, a 120/600 acromatic refractor and I wonder if I could do something good connecting my Canon 1100-D to it for photometric purposes.
I already used it for visual observations and I like its wide field; but it's also true that increasing magnification, the chromatic aberration starts to become noticeable so I wonder how much this aberration could affect photometry, once I connect my DSLR to it.
I do not see any reasons to not use achromatic refractors. I also make photometry with an old one without problem. If you apply a "green only" technique (like the CS one) the chromatic aberrations will not affect your results, the blue and red roll-off of the green band-pass would just change a little the profile of the PSF but nothing significant compared to the large defocusing we are using !
There are two effects of the chromaticism, the different focus depending the color, but also the lateral chromaticism that deviates more or less the position of the spots in radial direction. Then if you use a three colors technique, like my VSF, you can see a litlle bit different position for the red and blue photometric apertures. But ok, with my old achromate it's perfectly negligible, I use the same position for the three colors.
Anyhow a 120 mm pupil will provide you much more photons , about 50 times what is available with a 50 mm lens at F/2.8 ! It also provides a much better ratio between the stars photon-count and the background. A larger aperture means also less scintillation. All good ! But be careful with the saturation, sometimes on bright stars it's useful to apply a neutral filter, it allows to remain at long enough exposure keeping the benefit of low background and reduced scintillation.
A side effect (that is not chromaticism related) is the fact such F/5 refractor would have a non-flat image field. By the way you could experience a different focus depending the distance of the stars from the image center. This could conduct to increase the defocus more than ideal in the center. I have to take care of it, including with my Nikkor 200 mm lens. If truly a problem a flat-field corrector could be used in the case of the refractor.
Clear Skies !
I am new to DSLR astrophotography in general and I am looking to add DSLR photometry to my observing program in the future. Last night, with my Canon EOS 1100D rebel, I was able to take 10 successive images of the star field in and around UMA which contains some of my visual program stars. Camera settings were 10 sec exposures at ISO 1600 of raw images. I was able to image familiar stars down to about 8th magnitude. I was really quite surprised how easy it was. I also have taken two dark frames. Sure enough, I could see a couple of hot pixels in the images. I have two questions for any DSLR gurus who may have advice:
1) AIP4win users: Do I have to buy the $99 manual from the publisher in order to get the access code to AIP4win v. 2 (which is installed already). I'd like to play around with stacking images etc.
2) Is it appropriate to upload a couple of my images for comment from forum members?
Yes. The software is an addon to the "Handbook of Astronomical Image Processing", and I think it's worth the bucks if you ever want to to do pretty-picture atsrophotography. The book goes far beyond explaining the software.
Definitely useful. I doubt that you will be able to upload raw images directly to this forum as message attachments (because of file-type and file size constraints), but there are of course alternatives like google docs or other file hosting services. It's definitely more useful to upload raw or FITS images and not compressed formats like JPEG, of course, for photometry purposes. | <urn:uuid:bbb3f3f5-86e6-42e0-b8c5-c2385408d25b> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://www.aavso.org/first-dslr-photometry?page=1 | 2015-07-29T16:21:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042986451.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002306-00328-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.943007 | 1,199 |
Essays are the easiest, most basic type of written communication. They may be formal or casual, but they all need to begin with an introduction. A fantastic essay is generally one, simple bit of writing that provides the writer’s point-of-view: but that definition is quite vague, stretching over lots of the types of a prose piece, such as a title, an essay, and a poem. Essays can also be classified as formal or informal, as well as sub-categorized to two unique types of design: conventional and unconventional. Therefore, what are the gaps between these several styles of essay?
Traditional article writing is probably the most common and perhaps most significant, and is often regarded as the more conventional kind of composition. It is also perhaps the most misunderstood. In general, it consists of a thesis statement, supporting study evidence, and a conclusion, and in addition to this, contains segments for citations (e.g.
The use of quotes and quotes as a basis of argumentation in documents is generally called for by traditional kind of essay writing.1 popular example of this is how Mark Twain’s”Tom Sawyer,” where Huck Finn says,”When a man is young, he doesn’t know anything” This, clearly, is taken from a line from Shakespeare’s”Othello,” and Twain is mentioning a famous quote that he instills true. Standard article writing, therefore, is about quoting and analyzing other works.
Non-traditional essay writing on the flip side, is all about the writer. There are not any thesis statements; no quotations or citations; and also the period of the essay may fluctuate widely. It is all about the author’s ideas and opinions. Therefore, there isn’t any one single method for composing a unconventional article. Writers can do virtually whatever they like in terms of construction and style, although many choose to write them stand alone essays, without the accompanying quotes or citations. Many authors use the world wide web to discover and post their job and make it accessible online.
Writing an essay by yourself might seem hard, but in fact it is rather simple. All you need to know is the basic principles for writing, then just follow along with. Moreover, your composition can grow to be a great work of art once you employ some creativity to it. And it doesn’t matter if you’re writing a conventional or unconventional article: the major principle is to start with your name, then begin to write it in the third person. And complete paper writing it in the next person.
Remember that you’re writing something important, and your viewers will enjoy it – especially the men and women who write unconventional essays! So take your time in writing these essays, and you are going to be writing essays which can make your audience need to read all the time. | <urn:uuid:3de38abb-1875-473a-a9e1-1145fa401557> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://segurosganaderos.com/essays-a-guide-to-writing-the-ideal-essay-potential/ | 2022-05-22T05:24:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662543797.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220522032543-20220522062543-00542.warc.gz | en | 0.957823 | 594 |

At a time when household budgets are being stretched more than ever, shoppers are increasingly voting with their purses and wallets and shunning brand loyalty in favour of trying out new stores that promise to shave pounds off their grocery bill.
As a result supermarkets have had to up their game in a bid to entice consumers through the front door to do their weekly shop and are utilising a wide range of marketing ploys to prevent people from defecting to rival competitors.
Of course, the technique most commonly associated with supermarkets is giving customers ‘something for nothing’ in the form of buy-one-get-one-free, three-for-two and, in some cases, buy one-get-two-free deals.
These, accompanied with a print, television or internet marketing campaign, are a great way of drawing customers into shops, and although these deals are frequently loss-leaders for companies, their costs are generally more than recouped by customers purchasing other full-price items while they are in the store.
Looking at things from a slightly different angle, another option for supermarkets is to provide a solution to one of the biggest bugbears for many shoppers – having 1 to hand in order to use a trolley. Many supermarkets have introduced the system in a bid to cut down on the number of trolleys that are taken off the premises and never returned, but as a result have risked annoying shoppers who have to hunt around in their purse or wallet to find a 1 coin.
One solution is to hand out trolley coin keychains branded with the supermarket’s name that shoppers can use every time they want access to a trolley. These can be attached to keyrings – something the average person will look at several times a day – ensuring the retailer’s brand name is always within eyeshot.
Retailers can also use the environment as a way of boosting brand awareness and encouraging loyalty among customers. As more and more people become aware of the negative impact persistent use of plastic bags has on the environment, adoption of reusable bags is on the rise.
Playing videos in the store that promote environmental sustainability and show ways to reduce plastic-use, might attract customers’ attention and may, in turn, persuade them to adopt such methods. This can be done with the help of streaming platforms like Loop TV that telecast curated videos as needed. Such videos might leave a positive impact on the customers, encouraging them to adopt sustainable methods in different strata of their lives, starting from replacing plastic bags with reusable bags.
The reusable bags are often stronger than the bags handed out at the till and are larger, too, meaning they can be used to carry heavy goods such as tins or bottles from the shop to the car without the risk of the bag breaking. Many supermarkets offer these for sale at the checkout – or sometimes give them away for free – and emblazon them with their company logo and slogan, raising awareness and encouraging shoppers to make a return trip to the same store.
All of these solutions rely on consumers actually visiting a store, but there are ways of maintaining brand loyalty among shoppers who rarely set foot inside a store. It is possible to purchase almost everything on the internet and groceries are no exception, so the market for having shopping delivered to the home is just as competitive as that for traditional brick-and-mortar stores. Customer loyalty programs and services offered by Epsilon (click here for info) and similar companies can be leveraged for better marketing to these shoppers. Such programs could help in making customers come back with long-lasting connections-even when human contact is limited.
Most major supermarkets offer some form of delivery service and customer retention here can be very easy – providing the deliveries are accurate and take place on time. A shopper who receives exactly what they want, when they want every time they place an order over the web is likely to stick with that company for a long time, but at the same time, if their weekly shop does not arrive on schedule or is full of the wrong products, chances are they will lose patience and try out a competitor’s service. | <urn:uuid:20f281dd-ca55-4141-a0bb-93d8c46c17cd> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.winningback.co.uk/customer-retention-ideas-for-supermarkets/ | 2022-05-25T06:26:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662580803.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20220525054507-20220525084507-00725.warc.gz | en | 0.96609 | 856 |
This may not be the best times for the embattled governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola over the current crisis that has been rocking the state Ministry of Education, as the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) and Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) have chosen strike as their best option to press home their various demands for increase in salaries and allowances.
ASUP had, last week, embarked on an indefinite strike in all the state-owned institutions to support its members’ agitation for the payment of a 21 per cent salary and allowance’ increase, which the governor had reportedly promised to pay since 2008.
Teachers across the state have also remained hell-bent in securing the implementation of the Teachers’ Salary Scale (TSS), while the state government has not shown any interest in paying the 27.5 per cent salary increase of the teachers, a development that compelled the teachers to embark on an industrial action.
All academic activities in all the state-owned institutions (except UNIOSUN) and all the public schools have been paralyzed by the strike, a development that has sent millions of higher institution students and 800,000 students of public schools back to their various homes.
The ASUP and the NUT strike has thrown the state government into confusion and panic, a situation that made the state governor and Commissioner for Education, Alhaji Jelili Adesiyan to be threatening the two unions.
Fresh facts have emerged on why the teachers’ strike would persist in the state for a long time, as it has been disclosed that the state government has deposited the salaries of the teachers into a fixed deposit account in one of the new generation banks in the state.
The commissioner for education in the state has stated that the state government could not afford the implementation of the 27.5 per cent increase in the teachers’ salary due to the financial constraint of the present administration.
The NUT has remained hell-bent on its struggle for the implementation of the TSS just as the ASUP has also maintained that the indefinite strike of its members would be called off as soon as the state government paid the 21 per cent allowance to the lecturers.
According to the state chairman of the ASUP, Comrade Femi Adekale, who spoke to OSUN DEFENDER during the weekend in Osogbo, the state capital, academic allowances and leave bonus of the teachers for the 2008 has not been paid under the excuse of financial constraint by the state government.
Adekale stated that the state government had, earlier last year, with pressure, paid 79 percent, out of the 100 per cent of the salary increase with a promise that it would pay the remaining 21 per cent within the year.
He said: “All other states have paid the 100per cent salary increase, except Osun State government, which has been giving flimsy excuses to justify its action.
“The present administration is full of deceit, illusion and failed promises. We are tired of this deceitful administration. When ever the government pays our money, we will resume work.
“We know how the governor has been paying political office holders with the resources of the state.
“Oyinlola had promised that our salary would also be increased, when he increased the school fees of all the state-owned institutions. The school fees have been increased in all the state-owned institutions and the governor is yet to fulfill his promises. What has Oyinlola been spending these institutions’ income on?
The ASUP chairman revealed that certain percentage of their salaries and allowances were paid by their various institutions, adding that it is only the state government that has been adamant in the payment of their salaries and allowances.
According to the chairman, Oyinlola has been avoiding the executives and members of the ASUP on the industrial crisis, as he (Oyinlola) reportedly showed a meeting scheduled to settle the face-off between the union and the state government in Abuja, by the state chairman of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party.

FAQ - the KILN
Q1: How does it work?
The KILN dehumidifies by warming your guitar gently.
Three key principles of wood drying; (1) constant heat supply, (2) warm environment & (3) air circulation underpinned the ways it works.
More reading can be found on page 8 of this document:
Drying Hardwood Lumber
Q3: How long should I leave it in my guitar?
Per dehumidification treatment is 8 hours.
While you may cut short the duration, it isn't recommended to go way beyond 8 hours.
Q4: How often should I use it?
There is no hard or fast rule on the frequency of use.
If you suspect your guitar(s) has taken in excessive moisture, use it.
As a guide, you could use it daily or weekly as you deem fit.
Q5: How do I know if my guitar is dehumidified?
Using a wood moist measuring meter is the most definitive way. However the manner is invasive to your guitar. It is not recommended thus it would be better to use the playability of your guitar to gauge.
The immediate area about the guitar bridge bulged when excessive moisture is carried by your guitar. That increases string action and diminishes playability.
After the application of the KILN, you should get better playability and that would mean your guitar is dehumidified.
Q6: Can I put my guitar inside its bag or hardcase when using the KILN?
Having sustained air circulation is required for the KILN to dehumidify your guitar.
Placing your price guitar inisde its bag or hardcase may hinder sustained air circulation. This can cause heat to build up within your guitar box.
Unless air circulation is sustained, placing your guitar inside bag or hardcase may not be a good idea.
See the proper use of the KILN while the guitar is inside its hardcase here:
Q7: Can I leave my guitar on a stand or hung on a wall mount when using the KILN?
The KILN is designed to work when your guitar is placed in supine position, no other.
Both ways leave your guitar in an upright stance. The KILN uses heat and warm air rises up vertically.
Guitars in upright stance would mean the heat from the KILN would rise to warm up other areas than the areas about the bridge (which is the important area to receive treatment).
Therefore, it is not recommended to place your guitar on upright stance if you are going to dehumidify your guitar with the KILN.
Q8: How hot can it get?
Generally, wood glue looses it strength when heated to 60˚C to 65˚C.
The Rosewood KILN is carefullycalibrated to warm up your guitar. The operating temperature ranges from 48˚C to 55˚C.
Q9: Can using the KILN dislodge anything in my guitar?
If the Rosewood KILN is operated as per instructions in
its manual, your guitar would only be dehumidified, never damaged.
Heat trapping may lead to unintended outcomes. Read Q6.
Q11: How do I get it?
This KILN in polycarbonate isn't available for purchase. We apologise for it. Here is why,
Our Indiegogo fundraising campaign ended on 15 July 2014 without success. Hence we were unable to proceed with mass production of the KILN (polycarbonate version). Nevertheless, we sincerely thank all our supporters for believing in the KILN.
While the campaign didn't raise the required amount to mass produce the KILN, the demand for this portable guitar dehumidifier didn't subside.
With constant encouragement,
the Rosewood KILN was created in May 2015. It is now available. While it possesses no display facilities, it is equally effective as the polycarbonate version. It has been sold to USA, Belize, Norway, Taiwan, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Q10: Can I use the Rosewood KILN on any guitars?
The Rosewood KILN is designed for regular acoustic guitars and classical guitars. Using the Rosewood KILN on small body guitars or ukuleles are not recommended.
Examples of small body guitars; Baby Taylor, GS-Mini, Martin D Jr, Ed Sheeran types. | <urn:uuid:a5de6cb4-db42-43f1-97ec-80465b092269> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.thekiln.sg/faq | 2022-01-21T19:57:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303709.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20220121192415-20220121222415-00303.warc.gz | en | 0.932948 | 966 |
