9/11 Truthers Do the Clinton-Bush Event in Toronto,
by Anthony J. Hall
The Bush-Clinton event in Toronto provided a good platform for those who put a priority on the quest for 9/11 Truth as a key to removing the blockages on the road to a more just, peaceful and equitable world. Wayne Prante of Fraser Valley 9/11 Truth and the one-and-only Splitting The Sky flew in late Tuesday night for the proceedings. On Wednesday night a small group of truthers, including Barrie Zwicker, Mark Savoury, Rick Tufts, Robert Trow, Tasha Lawrick and a first responder named Niki, gathered in a downtown location.
by Anthony J. Hall
Wayne gave a brief presentation shedding light on the sometimes difficult relationship between the peace movement and those focusing on the lies and crimes 9/11. I read the text of my new paper, George Bush and Bill Clinton Do Toronto: Pepsi versus Coke meets Republican versus Democrat. I see this contribution as a follow up to Bush League Justice, the essay I prepared in the days leading up to the former president’s initial speaking foray outside the United States..
Speaking a mixture of English and his mother tongue Cree, Jimmie Dick introduced STS. Jimmie is a well known fixture in the Friendship Centre drum group as well as in a number of Toronto social services agencies.
Several hundred people gathered outside the Metro Toronto Convention Centre to mark their desire to see Bill Clinton and especially George Bush arrested in Toronto as they should have been according to key provisions of the Canadian War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity Act. When I arrived on the scene about two hours before the Bush-Clinton event was scheduled to start, STS was already there. He told me that he had already been approached by two plains clothes officials who identified themselves as RCMP. STS explained that one of these undercover agent indicated that his superior had told him that it was the Mohawk activist’s intention to go into the conference centre and “hang” George Bush, in other words to kill him. STS responded with harsh and direct words, condemning this possible set up and obvious provocation witnessed by several individuals subsequently interviewed on video tape by Wayne Prante.
As the afternoon wore on Barrie Zwicker appeared with a hand made sign saying, “RCMP Do Your Job, Arrest the War Criminals.” The Canadian truthers’ founding father was accompanied by David McIntosh. David is new to Toronto after his deep involvement in Vancouver 9/11 Truth. Then I spotted the Waterloo engineering student and You Tube artist, Adnan Zuberi. He was accompanying the English M15 agent turned truther, Annie Machon. Annie is in the midst of her Canadian speaking tour.
I also saw Mark Savoury, Rick Tufts, Tasha Lawrick and first responder Niki taking part in the event. I was introduced by Barrie to
Richard Harris of We Are Change Toronto. Annie and STS and I did many interviews in the course of the afternoon with mainstream and alternative media. I spoke at some length with Ian Bown of the Globe and Mail, a media venue that I had criticized for its role in
sponsoring the Bush-Clinton “conversation.” Not surprisingly Brown’s report in today’s Globe dismisses those outside the convention centre as “a motley crowd” whereas the performing former presidents are, in his words, “statesmen.” George Bush as statesman…..hmmmm. Bush as the torture statesmen of Abu Ghraib??? What are you thinking Ian?
The Toronto Coalition to Stop the War were the overall sponsors of the protest event outside the conference centre. This group is the one that had invited George Galloway to Canada and then hosted the webcast video conferences with the legendary British peace activist after he was kept out of Canada by the Stephen Harper conservatives. Like the much admired Iraqi shoe thrower, STS subjected himself to significant repercussions of the criminal justice system for his principled stance vis a vis the world’s most notorious credibly accused war criminal. STS is the first North American I know of to put himself at risk in this way. Nevertheless the event’s organizers refused to respond affirmatively to several suggestions that the Mohawk activist be invited to speak from the protest’s main podium.
Bull Horn in hand, Wayne Prante assembled a group of those who wanted to hear STS in spite of the obstacles put before him by the protest organizers. STS took the bull horn and gave one of his trade mark speeches under circumstances that were far from universally friendly.
In his talk he laid out the steps in Calgary that led to a judge’s scheduling of his 5 day trial in Calgary for March of 2010. STS
included in his remarks comments referring to the dangers and duplicities of “managed protest.” At the end of his talk STS handed me the bull horn which used in my own effort to explain to the audience the substance and context of the momentous events we are living through in this time of transformations.
All in all I see it as a good day for the truthers.
(Video footage will be posted soon)

Revision Weight Loss Surgery
Revisional bariatric procedures can be performed when a previous weight loss procedure results in inadequate or excessive weight loss or has led to complications. We perform revision weight loss surgery at our San Francisco practice for the approximately 5-10% of bariatric patients who need their initial gastric bypass or LAP-BAND® surgery in the Bay Area altered or repaired.
Shirley's Revision Surgery
"In July 2000, I had Vertical Banded Gastroplasty, an open surgery and my choice at the time. Initially, I lost weight quickly but it slowed down and it took me more than 2 years to lose 140 pounds. Not long after, the tide turned and the weight started to come back. I was gaining weight and slipping backwards. I had re-gained about 60 pounds before I decided to contact Pacific Laparoscopy."
When Is Revision Necessary?
Dr. Rabkin performs revisional bariatric surgery in San Francisco for patients who have experienced complications from their initial procedure, including:
- Poor weight loss or significant weight re-gain
- Chronic nausea and/or intolerance of the previous bariatric surgery anatomical reconstruction
- Ulcers, band slippage, or other procedure-related complications
- Excessive weight loss or nutritional deficiencies
Simply being dissatisfied with your weight loss after surgery does not necessarily qualify you for revision surgery. However, if you are still 80-100 pounds overweight, suffering from serious weight-related health concerns, or are having difficulties from your initial weight loss surgery, you may be a candidate.

We can help you to make your weight loss dreams a reality, no matter where you live.
The Procedure
Unlike the other bariatric procedures Dr. Rabkin performs, most revisions are performed as "open" procedures (as opposed to laparoscopic). Revisions are complex, and due to their more extensive nature, tend to have a higher risk of complications. However, when performed by an experienced bariatric surgeon, they have a very good success rate.

'X-Men: Apocalypse' Finds Its Villain Inside Oscar Isaac
By Jodi Smith | Industry | November 24, 2014 |
By Jodi Smith | Industry | November 24, 2014 |
At the end of X-Men: Days of Future Past, we saw a young Apocalypse building pyramids and watching his Horsemen. Now we know the man behind the hood will be Oscar Isaac (Inside Llewyn Davis, Sucker Punch). In the 2016 X-Men: Apocalypse, 1980s mutants will face the titular villain and the destruction that he rains down upon the Earth. I’m sure this will allow Isaac to bring that evil Blue persona back to the forefront. DANCE FOR HIM, MAGNETO! DANCE FOR THE HIGH ROLLERS!
You can see Isaac a little sooner when Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in 2015. | http://www.pajiba.com/trade_news/xmen-apocalypse-finds-its-villain-inside-oscar-isaac.php | 2018-10-15T17:43:14 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Abstract:
The invention provides a heat pump system employing a refrigerant charged space and including at least two evaporators, one of which is an ambient air head absorber, and the other of which can be of the same type, or of the type obtaining heat from solar insolation, water, ground heat, etc. The coil or coils of an ambient air absorber must be defrosted periodically. In the system of the invention defrost heat is applied to the evaporator coil or coils while the compressor is operating, such defrost heat causing vaporization of the refrigerant therein. The system includes a pressure containment valve between the evaporator and the compressor that maintains the vapor pressure of the vaporizing liquid in the coil above the value at which the ice will readily melt, the valve releasing excess vapor to the compressor and then to the condenser which discharges the heat to the space to be heated. Thus, the only part of the defrost heat lost from the system is that required to melt the ice. Preferably the evaporator is an ambient air unit paralleled by one or more solar heat absorber evaporators which do not require defrosting, so that the compressor can work efficiently and continuously with the refrigerant from the solar absorber. The system may include heat exchangers enabling the heat obtained to be used for different purposes. The system also works on a cooling cycle when required by suitable change over valve means.
Claim:
I claim:

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention is concerned with improvements in or relating to heat pump systems, especially to such systems including defrost means for the coil of an evaporator heat absorber, and more especially to such systems including at least one solarheat absorber in parallel with an ambient air evaporator heat absorber.
REVIEW OF THE PRIOR ART
The principles and technology of mechanical refrigeration systems are well known and highly developed; such systems provide long and trouble free service when properly installed and maintained. Similarly heat pump principles and technologydeveloped from mechanical refrigeration and its later derivative, air conditioning, are well known and high developed. Such systems as commonly marketed usually employ an outdoor ambient air heat exchanger combined with one indoor heat exchanger andassociated piping and control equipment. The function of these exchangers can be reversed as required by operation of the control equipment to either heat or cool an indoor enclosed area by reversing the refrigerant cycle. During the season whenheating is required, their function is reversed from time to time by various sensing and timing devices in order to melt off the ice on the outdoor heat exchanger by a process known as "hot gas defrost".
Unfortunately, this defrost arrangement leads to many problems, such as flood back of liquid refrigerant to the compressor with consequent compressor failure, and so on. Also, heat must be removed from the indoor area via its heat exchanger inorder to provide the hot gas needed to melt the accumulated ice on the outdoor exchanger, resulting in considerable inefficiency. That is to say, the same heat which has just been brought into the heat space with the attendant energy cost and wearfactor on the equipment is now removed from the heated space and lost to the outside. This is in effect a double waste of electrical energy with no useful heat gain to the indoor space.
Because of their great potential, many solar radiant energy absorption systems are now under intensive development. These systems tend to be somewhat exotic and expensive employing photo-voltaic conversion, fluid collector plate systems, aircollector plate systems, and refrigerant absorption systems, with or without special tracking arrangements to maintain the collectors facing the sun, and with or without special collector shapes for more efficient collection. Heat pumps have beencombined with solar collection systems using the more or less standard solar system as a heat source for a fluid type heat pump. Such systems tend to be extremely expensive to install and to be maintenance-intensive due to their complexity.
DEFINITION OF THE INVENTION
It is the principal object of the invention to provide a new highly efficient and versatile heat pump system.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided.
This new and novel approach using an evaporator pressure containment valve in conjunction with the defrost system allows many new and novel adaptions of existing technology not previously known and results in a superior heat pump system.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is a solar heat pump employing an outdoor ambient air refrigerant evaporator as one heat absorber in combination with a solar radiation refrigerant evaporator as a parallel heat absorber, both evaporatorsusing a fluorinated hydrocarbon refrigerant as the operative medium. The solar absorber may for example be a direct expansion flat plate solar isolation heat absorber panel, and preferably the refrigerant employed is that sold by DuPont Inc. under theTrade Mark "FREON 502", the panel being located on the roof of the structure to be heated or arranged as a remote structure. Unlike the ambient air type absorber such a solar absorber can build up frost without obvious operation impairments andtherefore does not normally require defrosting, so that the common compressor can be operated continuously without damage, since the solar collector is always available to provide heated refrigerant vapor to the compressor.
The system also preferably has separate indoor condenser and evaporator heat exchangers for indoor heating and cooling respectively, together with refrigerant to liquid heat exchangers in which hot water is heated by the compressed refrigerant asit is condensed for various uses requiring such heat energy. In the heating mode both the air and solar heat exchangers collect heat energy from the outside ambient air. When solar radiant energy is available the solar heat exchanger also collects heatfrom that source. Both heat exchangers act as refrigerant evaporators. All heat is collected by the transfer medium (FREON 502) in the form of both latent and sensible heat, as in the refrigeration vaporization process, and is transferred by means ofthe piping to the compressor where its temperature and pressure is raised and the heat energy extracted in useful form by means of the above-mentioned heat exchangers and air-or water-cooled refrigerant condensers.
By using refrigerant in the solar heat exchanger, and by using the refrigeration cycle as a means of heat transfer, the solar heat exchanger plate temperature remains at all times much lower than the outside surrounding ambient temperature. Thisresults in the greatest possible solar energy collector efficiency as compared to previous technology as air, fluid or evaporation refrigerant plates must operate at much higher surface temperatures than the prevailing ambient temperature. The responseand energy collection of direct expansion refrigerant type solar insolation absorber panels is almost instantaneous with very little reflective loss, while heat can also be collected day or night, in good or bad weather. Thus, unlike other solar systemswhich rely on solar radiation alone this system may also obtain heat energy from the ambient air at all times and regardless of ambient conditions.
Preferably an electric defrost system is used to provide the defrost heat necessary to clear the outdoor air heat exchanger coil of accumulated ice and the defrost action may be initiated either by means of a time-initiated,temperature-terminated control system or by means of a demand defrost control system. The use of electric defrost avoids the need for a hot gas defrost system as in previous heat pump designs and its attendant difficulties. Similarly, the compressordoes not have to cease pumping as in previous electric defrost systems, and it remains in operation collecting heat energy from the solar plate collector while the ambient air coil is defrosting. Also because of the provision of the evaporator pressurecontainment valve, most of the electrical energy used to defrost the ambient air coil is absorbed by the refrigerant and is utilized by the still operating compressor resulting in a high performance factor and economical operation.
The condensing process of the refrigeration cycle can be utilized in many variations by means of air or water heat exchangers for many varied usages. Primarily a system of this invention is intended to be utilized in conjunction with an air heatexchanger or condenser unit located in the return air plenum of a forced air heating/cooling system to provide space heating. By installing an evaporator heat exchanger unit in the supply side of such a system and use of reversing valves a cooling cycleis also possible. An advantage of using two separator indoor condenser and evaporator units is that it allows continuous operation of the heat cycle of the solar heat pump, while an back-up heating system, fuelled by gas, oil or electricity, is at thesame time providing additional heat when required.
A system of the invention therefore has the advantage of allowing a heat pump to operate at high efficiency by using direct solar radiation as long as this is available. Also the solar heat exchanger at all times can function as an ambient airheat exchanger providing useful energy even during cloudy periods, darkness or adverse weather conditions. While low ambient temperatures lower the system efficiency slightly they do not stop the heat energy gathering process. Because the mechanicalcompressor runs continuously on demand of an indoor space or other thermostat the outdoor heat collecting solar exchangers can always be maintained several degrees below any prevailing ambient temperature, and there is little reflected or other loss ofincident solar radiation. This results in simplified, smaller, less costly and fewer solar collectors which require no heat build-up before producing usable heat.
The parallel usage of the two different types of heat collector, along with the electric defrost and evaporator pressure containment valve allows on-demand continuous heating with no reversing or shut-down of the collecting process for defrost ofthe outdoor heat exchangers. This produces very high efficiencies particularly well suited to the climate encountered in Canada, Northern U.S.A. and Europe while minimizing the probability of compressor failure, resulting in low maintenance costoperation of the system.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
A solar heat pump system which is a particular preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying schematic drawing.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The solar heat pump system illustrated herein consists of the following principal components connected as described in detail hereinafter. Thus, a typical commercial or domestic installation will include at least one (two in this embodiment)outdoor solar energy absorber panels, 2 of any suitable form mounted and arranged on the building to be heated or on a separate structure for maximum energy absorption. The system also includes an heat absorber 4 of the type that obtains its heat inputfrom the ambient air, this device including an air-moving fan 8 and electric defrost heaters 6 operated in response to closing of relay 10 under the control of thermostat and/or time clock 12. Alternatively the absorber 4 could obtain its heat from theground and/or a suitable water supply, but air absorbers are generally the most common.
The operating fluid for the system is a halogenated carbon refrigerant liquid, such as those sold by DuPont Inc. under the Trade Mark "FREON" and particularly "FREON 502", and a quantity of this in liquid state is stored in a refrigerant storagetank 14; the compressor for operating the system is given the reference 16.
The "output" components of the system illustrated include a hot water storage tank 18 supplied via a heat exchanger 20 and thermostatically controlled feed pump 22; a space conditioning indoor cooling evaporator 24; a space conditioning indoorheat condenser exchanger 26; a space air circulating fan 28 and a liquid condenser heat exchanger 30 that can be used for any required auxiliary purpose, such as the heating of a sauna or a swimming pool.
The operation of the circuit will first be described when it is in its heating mode. Upon a call for heat by a thermostat 32 solenoid valves 34 and 36 are opened and liquid refrigerant passes from the storage tank 14 via outlet valve 38, liquidindicator 40, dryer 42 and respective thermostatic expansion valves 44, 46 and 48 to the interior of the absorbers 2 and 4. A check valve 90 prevents liquid refrigerant from by-passing valve 44. The thermostatic expansion valves operate in known mannerto meter the liquid refrigerant into the absorber spaces where it is vaporized. The vapor flows from absorber 2 via pipe 50 and suction line accumulator 52 to the compressor 16, and from absorber 4 via pipe 54 which includes normally-open valve 56; arelief valve 57 in the pipe 50 will open if the vapor pressure becomes excessive. The hot pressurized vapor from the compressor 16 passes through muffler 58 and heat exchanger 20, where some of its heat content is transferred to a four-way valve 60 andthence to a three-way valve 62, both of which are under the control of the thermostat 32. The valves 60 and 62 direct the hot refrigement vapor to one or both of the two heat exchangers 26 and 30 where it is condensed, giving off both its latent andsensible heats. The resultant liquid is returned to the storage tank 14 via respective pipes 64 and 66 and inlet valve 68, the pipe 64 including also a check valve 70.
In the cooling mode of operation the four way valve 60 is operative to deliver hot vapor from the compressor 16 to the ambient air heat absorber 4, which now becomes the system condenser in which the vapor is cooled, the unit discharging heat tothe ambient air while the condensed liquid returns to the storage tank 14 via pipe 72, solenoid valve 74 and check valve 76. A normally-closed valve 87 is provided in the pipe 54, this valve being closed during the cooling cycle. The valve 56 is onlyopen during the heating cycle and the valve 87 is normally closed except during the defrost period of the heating cycle and hot vapor from the compressor cannot by-pass the cooling mode loop. Solenoid valve 78 is also open and liquid refrigerant is fedvia pipe 80 to the indoor evaporator cooler 24, the vapor resulting from this evaporation passing through pipes 82 and 84 and valve 60 back to the compressor 16.
When operative in the heating mode frost builds up on the coils which provide the refrigerant receiving space of absorber 4 and must be removed from time to time. As described above, in the systems known to me hitherto this has resulted indifficulty and expensive energy loss which is avoided with the system of my invention. The defrost cycle can be initiated either at fixed intervals of time, when the control 12 will be a clock controller, or on demand when the temperature of the airpassing over the coil indicates that defrost is needed, when control 12 will be a thermostat. Any other known system may be employed, such as a solid state demand system responsive to ice build-up on the coils. The control causes energization of thedefrost heaters 6 and at the same time closes the valve 56 and opens the valve 87, so that pipe 54 is closed, except for the pressure containment valve 86. The vapor pressure now builds up in the coil of absorber 4 and is maintained at a minimum valueby the pressure containment valve 86; if the pressure of the vapor is above that set by the valve 86 the excess vapor bleeds through the valve and returns via check valve 88 to the compressor. The regulating valve 86 thus maintains the pressure and thetemperature of the vapor in the absorber coils above the melting point, resulting in defrost of the coils. In a typical system this valve will be set to hold the pressure above about 4.2 Kg/sq. cm. (60 p.s.i.). Because of the presence of the"frost-free" solar absorbers 2 the compressor need not be switched off, but can be allowed to run continuously during the defrost cycle; because the compressor is still operating heat is still being collected from the absorbers 2 and passed to the indoorheater 26. Moreover, the considerable quantity of heat that is involved in the unavoidable evaporation of the refrigerant is no longer lost, but is now fed to the exchangers 20, 26, 30, etc. and utilised therein. The only heat lost from the system isthe latent heat required to actually melt the ice that has accumulated on the coils and a minimal loss to the ambient air. Again, since the compressor can be allowed to operate continuously during the defrost a much longer period can be taken fordefrosting, so that a smaller defrost heater can be employed. For example, in a system in which the unit 4 is rated at 16,000 b.t.u., a defrost heater 6 of 2 Kilowatts is completely satisfactory.
While the invention has been described and illustrated by reference to specific embodiments thereof, such description and illustration is by way of example only and not intended in any limiting sense. For example, although the system describedemploys both solar and ambient air energy absorbers, and the compressor is run continuously the system remaining in operation with the solar absorber being effective, it will be apparent that instead two ambient air energy absorbers could be operative inparallel, one of which continues operation while the other is being defrosted.

Keynote speaker Jerry Jellison is a professor emeritus of social psychology at the University of Southern California and a psychologist specializing in workplace psychology, human motivation, and personal change.
1. Acknowledge human emotion
“You can look at it as a very rational process when you’re the one doing the merger or replacing somebody else. And while there’ll be a certain percentage of people who are enthusiastic and ready to go, there’ll be another small percentage — usually 10 to 20 percent — who really will be overtly resistant. And then the vast majority of people take some kind of wait-and-see approach. But for everyone, there’s a lot of uncertainty and that’s what drives the emotion, and the dominant emotion is anxiety and fear. Be aware of that emotionality and just realize that it’s perfectly normal for people to feel that way.”
2. Don’t try too hard
“Don’t spend too much time trying to explain what you’re doing and how wonderful it’s going to be to people. I’m not saying don’t explain; you need to do that and you need to lay out the new plan and your goals and describe your cultural values and all those kinds of things. But I find that leaders think they can convince other people to buy into the new way of doing things, and what I find is if you don’t get people convinced after three or four times of talking to them, you’re really not going to get them convinced by persuading.”
3. Focus on a few key goals
“When you’re doing that communicating and persuading, paint the picture of where you’re going, but stop talking about [what it will be like] a year from now. [Your employees] are focused on the present; you’re focused on the future. Bring it back and focus in on one or two major changes — the ones that you’re going to emphasize them doing. It’s one of those cases where, while you want to do everything at once, that’s what will overwhelm people.”
4. Stay positive about your predecessors
“Don’t derogate the past. Say, ‘Boy, I’m impressed with what you guys have done. I know where you started, what a challenge that was, etc., etc.’ And then I’d recommend identifying with people. Say, ‘Why are we in business? We’re in business because we think we can do it better. We think we can serve our customers better.’ Give people acknowledgement of the good things they’ve done in the past, because that’s their perspective.” | http://www.pcmaconvene.org/features/4-tips-for-leading-change/ | 2018-10-15T17:52:26 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Looking for a Lesson Plan on Censorship? I received an email from my Assistant Superintendent a couple of years ago, asking me how to teach "censorship" at the HS level.
What an invitation. I immediately said, "it has to be hand's on and real world. " What I brainstormed in a couple of minutes ended up being a huge success as a collaborative librarian-ELA-SS teachers short project. Here's the outline and you can use this to inspire a couple of real-life scenarios for your school: (A variation of this could easily be done at lower levels also.) Content: Bill of Rights, 1st Amendment, Censorship (history), Banned Books, Close reading of content. This lesson is a snap-shot of a very Common Core aligned lesson where the students are engaged - discussing, closely reading (the SS teacher should be able to find a primary source on censorship he can use within his class also), and endeavoring in "short-term" research assignments to answer questions.

With the holiday season upon us, it goes without saying that two of the things that make this time of year so special is the time spent with family, and the atmosphere of giving to those you love and appreciate.
In partnership with The Vanity Project, CNS Foundation is proud to highlight our own very special way to give. We took our signature DNA-strand logo, updated with the re-launch of the new website in October, and put it on tee shirts, a sweatshirt, and even a onesie, and yours is waiting for you just a few clicks away!
The perfect gift for all advocates, a portion of each sale comes back to CNS Foundation. So not only do you get to rock some seriously awesome gear, but you’re also helping to support your favorite organization ;)
The Vanity Project is an organization founded on the idea that the clothes that you wear have the ability to be a billboard for the good organizations you believe in. After the founders, Jason and Omri, began to volunteer in their community, it became apparent that nonprofits were doing hard work in so many arenas, that being able to divert time and resources into creating apparel promotion was not necessarily on the top of the to-do list. In assisting these organizations create recognizable brands, the Vanity Project is using everyday clothing to champion causes- you can support an organization you believe in and get to educate about the cause when someone compliments the clothing you wear.
Have too many shirts? Tired of doing laundry? Ran out of wrapping paper?
Give the gift of science and donate directly to CNS Foundation so we can continue to advance the field of pediatric neurology and keep you up-to-date with the latest in scientific news.
It is with your support that CNS Foundation continues push so hard to represent the science and the cause we all believe in.
Thank You & Happy Holidays!!!

Sometimes things happen that restore your faith in life! I got up this morning to find Marcel and Charlotte had got together, without a hint of sibling rivalry, no rude insults, no lazy lying in front of the TV and made chocolate pancakes following a recipe in one of Thomas's cookbooks. Cooperating in a new adult manner, they'd made the batter (though had put a whole solid cold block of butter in it instead of melting some), and mentioned too that since they didn't know what baking powder was they'd used bicarbonate of soda! Mixing it with the electric whisk had caused batter blobs to be sprayed to all 4 corners of the kitchen and the floor was caked thick enough in maple syrup that I was actually sticking to it, but hey they were friendly, so nothing else matters as much! A parenting success?

Thomas at his happiest when he finds a kitchen tool he doesn't yet have. Today he found a machine that not only simultaneously peels and cores an apple but also thinly slices it perfectly to make good old American apple pie. Of course I did laugh myself silly in Tk Maxx watching his delight at unearthing this contraption and subjected him to all sorts of ridicule. Unfortunately when we got home, I actually had to admit that it was quite cool and the apple definitely tasted better like that - Oh god, he's turning me into a kitchen utensil nerd :-(

We got to his house a little past 6. The smell of the salmon filled his house. We got very curious as to how he cooks so we all joined him in the kitchen. I found a few lemon slices on top of the fish. The guy certainly knows what he's doing. He asked us to toss the salad while he cooked the rest of the fish.
The table was all set for dinner.
The salad consisted of cherry tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce and bell pepper. He had many choices of salad dressing. I ate my first serving with French dressing, then Italian with the second.

Ours is an age of unprecedented progress in the field of medical research. Yet cancer continues to plague our people.
Every minute-and-three-quarters, a man, woman or child in America is struck by one of its many forms. In this year alone, more than 300,000 Americans will die of it.
We have taken giant steps toward defeating it: today more people are being cured of cancer than ever before, and our understanding of its causes and characteristics is growing constantly.
But the incidence of cancer is still increasing more rapidly than our progress in curing it. We must intensify our research efforts, and we are:
—The National Cancer Institute of the United States Public Health Service, with a budget of more than $170 million this year, is striving to discover new facts about the causes and cures of cancer.
—Regional medical programs, under the Heart Disease, Cancer and Stroke Amendments of 1965, will bring the latest advances in diagnosis and treatment to people throughout the Nation.
—Medicare and other programs are helping to assure Americans of the care they need in the fight against cancer and other diseases.
—I have recently directed the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare to appoint a lung cancer task force, to supplement the work of task forces on leukemia, cancer chemotherapy, uterine cancer, solid tumor and breast cancer.
These efforts to combat cancer require the continuing cooperation of scientists, physicians, health agencies, and the public.
To impress upon our people the necessity for such cooperation, the Congress by a joint resolution of March 28, 1938 (52 Stat. 148), requested the President to issue annually a proclamation setting aside the month of April as Cancer Control Month.
Now, Therefore, I, Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of April 1967 as Cancer Control Month; and I invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to issue similar proclamations.
I also ask the medical and allied health professions, the communications industries, and all other interested persons and groups to unite during the appointed month in public reaffirmation of this Nation's efforts to control cancer.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.
DONE at the City of Washington this seventh day of April in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-first.

Unlabelled snaps a mystery
There’s a school of thought that we should still print photos and not rely on saving them to computers or external drives. Probably a wise move.
However, my problem is that even printed photos should be well organised.
I have photos in albums, most with no dates/names/place details. I’ve always had good intentions but every time I make some inroads, I get sidetracked by the memories and the endless questions of where/when they were taken and who was in them. The rest are loose in a box. Again, details are sadly lacking. Hubby is a fan of having the date imprinted on his photos — me, not so much. Names aren’t quite such an issue as most of my photos tend to be of family or friends. Mind you, I have endless photos of friends’ babies and struggle to recall which baby belonged to which family. Fortunately, I do know which babies are mine.
When I started travelling, I learnt a few things about photos. Firstly, one decent photo is better than 50 lousy ones. Digital cameras have a delete button for a reason. If you want to create a photo book of your trip, don’t wait three years after the trip to do it. Believe me, you will not know where half the pictures were taken or even what they were of.
One lake looks very like another and hills/mountains/ scenery do not tend to be very obvious in terms of location/names.
The number of photos I have can be partly blamed on my periodic forays into trying to be a photographer. Just today, I deleted some photos when it appeared I was experimenting with taking photos in our front yard in the dark. Needless to say, there were just a lot of very dark and average photos. What was I saying about using their delete button on digital cameras?
Everyone knows you get stunning sunsets in the outback and every time I see one, I feel the need to snap a photo of it. I’m sure my kids will thank me when I’m gone, and they have to sort through endless sunset photos.
They won’t have to worry too much about sunrise photos — I don’t seem to get too many of them for some reason.
Mind you, I may have some hope of identifying maybe half of mine, but when it comes to hubby’s cattle photos, he’s on his own.
One day the writer's children may inherit endless unlabelled photos of outback sunsets and other people's babies. | http://www.pressreader.com/australia/midwest-times/20181003/281556586766027 | 2018-10-15T17:54:41 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
New spin on Spyder
TRADEMARKS of Audi’s first supercar have been tossed out in the new R8 Spyder.
Gone is the distinguishing carbonfibre sideplate that made it instantly recognisable and gone is the visible engine under the glass hatch that attracted salivadrooling schoolboys.
These changes were necessary to accommodate the rag top.
Audi eschews the trendy move to metal folding roofs with their complexity, added weight and space restrictions.
Despite the lightweight rag top, aluminium space frame and more carbonfibre body panels, the Spyder is 100kg heavier than the coupe yet still quite rigid.
Audi Australia managing director Uwe Hagen expects to sell about 50-60 a year ‘‘in the beginning and hopefully more in future’’.
‘‘We are entering a completely new area,’’ he said.
‘‘In some points it’s like a toy.
‘‘It’s normally not a car you would use every day. ‘‘But the auto transmission is good for every day so you don’t get a weak left leg from a heavy clutch.’’ PRICING Hagen said the Spyder will compete against convertibles from Aston, Maserati and the Benz SL.
At $376,100 for the manual and $392,000 for the R tronic transmission, it’s less than the Aston DB9 Volante ($389,389 manual, $398,128 auto), but more than the Maserati Grancabrio ($338,000) and Benz SL 500 ($331,350).
It comes standard with 19-inch alloys, B&O sound system, Bluetooth, electric-adjusted heated Nappa leather seats, LED headlights, camera parking system, anti-theft alarm and satnav.
The Bluetooth interface has three microphones in the seatbelts so your voice can still be heard when the roof is open. Options include bigger wheels ($1483), bucket seats ($9100), ceramic brakes ($25,422), extra leather ($8700) and carbonfibre interior inlays ($5720). TECHNOLOGY Audi Australia product planning manager John Roberts said the R8 Spyder is ‘‘not just a version of the coupe’’, but a substantially different car.
The most obvious difference is the roof which weighs 42kg and has a lightweight carbonfibre cover, a compact Z-fold design and extended fins to retain the coupe roofline.
The rear glass window is separate to the roof and when the roof is down, it rises part of the way to act as a wind break.
There is another wind break in the snug 100L luggage compartment.
The Spyder has a 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 that scorches to highway speed in 4.1 seconds.
It comes with a six-speed manual gearbox. | http://www.pressreader.com/australia/nt-news-motoring/20101002/281612416747358 | 2018-10-15T18:17:12 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
INSIDERS: BEIJING’S EDGY ART
Tiffany Wai-Ying Beres
GO: From its beginnings as an underground movement post-Cultural Revolution, Chinese contemporary art has become a hugely influential force in a globalised art world. Where better to experience all the dynamism of China’s thriving contemporary art scene than the 798 Art Zone in Beijing, the first and most important art district of mainland China; 798district.com.
SEE: Once a top-secret military factory-unit, artists began moving to the Bauhaus-influenced buildings in the late-90s in search of affordable space. From factory floor to artistic installation, gigantic open spaces are filled with brilliant light, even on smoggy days, thanks to the sawtooth windowed ceilings. Look out for leftover revolutionary slogans on the walls; artists originally kept these red characters so as not to offend officials, but now they seem more like tokens of kitsch.
LEARN: Home to some of the best-known art spaces in China, be sure to visit UCCA, a not-for-profit centre founded by Belgian art collectors Myriam and Guy Ullens that has greatly advanced attention on Chinese contemporary art. Check out international galleries — such as Pace and Chambers Fine Art — that focus on art-world superstars, and discover emerging local talents at some of the smaller venues, like Beijing Commune, Hadrien de Montferrand or Magician Space; ucca.org.cn/en; magician-space.com.
ENJOY: Most of the painters and sculptors who once called 798 home have left due to sky-high rents. And yet 798 is still a wonderful place to find “artsy types”; a favourite hangout for hipsters and art students, this is a great area to spot fashion trends. The streets and alleys that connect gallery spaces are filled with public sculptures and temporary installations, and the district is one of the few where graffiti artists are sanctioned.
BUY: There is art for every budget at 798, from the street artists who will sketch you for $5 to museumworthy works. The UCCA design store sells trinkets, fashion items and limited-edition artwork. Sales help this non-profit centre put on its exhibitions.
DINE: Timezone 8, once an art bookstore and now a thriving sushi bar and western-food cafe, remains a 798 landmark. Or, in a courtyard setting at the north end of the zone, there’s Chinese imperial-style cuisine at Najia Xiaoguan, featuring healthy recipes apparently handed down by the last Qing emperor’s doctor; timezone8.com.
Tiffany Wai-Ying Beres is a contemporary Chinese art curator and historian based in Beijing for the past decade. She has curated more than 30 international exhibitions and contributed to numerous publications about Chinese art; lotusartco.com.

A growing challenge for Northern Ontario
As young people leave and the North’s population ages, it could force business to ‘close and move elsewhere,’ states a new report
it’s not like it was 100 years ago. People these days, especially younger people, are leaving the North in droves to find work and a better education.
that’s one of the key findings in a new report released this week by the Northern Policy institute (NPI); the first of four reports authored by research analyst christina Zefi.
the report also revealed that as young people leave, baby boomers (born 1945 to 1965) are staying put and Northern Ontario is becoming “disproportionately older.”
the report, released on the NPI website, says not enough young people are staying to provide tax revenue for local governments. it says a regional strategy is required to bring more new people to the North.
Postmedia asked Zefi what she believes is the main reason young people in the 20-to-29 age category are leaving.
“With that age group, perhaps it could be different job opportunities. Maybe they want jobs that are available in other regions. i think mostly with that age group, it’s the education as mentioned in the report,” she says.
it is a problem in every city and every territorial district in Northern Ontario.
“Since 1996, eight out of 11 of Northern Ontario’s districts have experienced a large population decline,” says Zefi.
her report defines Northern Ontario as a collection of 11 census districts across a huge landscape with little more than 780,000 people.
“in analyzing trends across these districts, one thing is clear: Northern Ontario faces a number of challenges related to population growth. Specifically, the North has a low birth rate, an aging and declining population, and low in-migration rates that have caused the population to remain stagnant.”
One significant effect of this is with the population aging, more of those older people become dependent on the younger people who are still working, Zefi says. but as the working population numbers go down, it puts a strain on local economies.
“Many services in Northern Ontario, such as health care and pensions, are dependent on tax bases and are tax-financed. if the number of dependents exceeds the number of people working, delivering tax-dependent services to a rapidly declining population becomes very challenging,” the report says.
“if the number of people willing and able to work continues to decline, businesses in Northern Ontario will face an increasing shortage of workers, resulting in slow growth, low demand for goods and services, and a disincentive for private investment – all of which could force businesses to close and move elsewhere.”
the report also speaks about the dependency ratio. ideally, it says, the ratio should be between 0.5 and 0.75, which translates to two working persons for every dependent person such as a child or a pensioner.
if this number changes, for example, to two dependants for every working person, the report says it would be unsustainable.
“by 2036, the dependency ratio is projected to be too high in nine of Northern Ontario’s 11 districts for their economies to be sustainable, with the highest ratios expected to be in Parry Sound and Manitoulin. Only the greater Sudbury and Kenora districts are projected to have a dependency ratio within the range noted above, and then only just. comparatively, the province as a whole is expected to have a dependency ratio of 0.67 in 2036,” states the report.
the other concern, Zefi says, is that if the out-migration trend continues, not enough people will be left to do the jobs in Northern Ontario.
“even if there is 100 per cent labour force participation in Northern Ontario, there’s just not enough people to support the demographic shift that is going to be happening. So we need to attract new people who are willing and able to work.”
Zefi says the report is the first in a series looking into the demographic changes and population decline.
“the second one is going to talk about strengths and weaknesses to migrating to Northern Ontario,” she says, adding that it would require participation from Northern municipalities and the province.
So, where do things go from here?
“hopefully, they can see the demonstrated need for a Northern Newcomer Strategy,” says Zefi.
“My hope is that there can be some changes made up at the provincial level in order to give Northern Ontario the tools to encourage migration to the region, and also for municipal leaders, i am hoping the fourth report will be a very accessible and easy to digest so they can be implemented at the municipal level, and municipalities can start work to encourage migrants to move to their communities.”
Since no one can legislate an upward change in the Northern Ontario birth rate, the report says the next best thing is to find ways to attract migrants from other parts of canada and immigrants from around the world.
the report also reveals that immigrants tend to be well-educated and another study reveals that many are over-represented in fields of science and engineering.
“individuals with these skills offer valuable economic benefits to any community,” states the report.
in its conclusion, the document also states that this is not a strictly Northern Ontario issue.
“it is important to remember that an aging population is not unique to Northern Ontario. as other parts of the world experience population aging, younger people are likely to migrate elsewhere to seek economic advancement and financial stability,” the report continues.
“Such a shift presents opportunities for Northern Ontario. For example, a Northern Newcomer Strategy could include pro-active policies and programs to attract young migrants. indeed, while attracting newcomers is a shortto medium-term solution, it could have significant socioeconomic benefits for Ontario’s northern regions.”

Manasquan, New Jersey (PRWEB) August 1, 2004 -
 ItÂs been one year since two college buddies created the emerging music portal, DiscoveringArtists.com. To commemorate the websiteÂs success, the pair has partnered with Octone Records this month to host a Michael Tolcher merchandise giveaway.
To celebrate a year filled with live show travels and booming industry connections, an exclusive interview with Tolcher will be posted on the website. Contest participants will be asked to write a 200-300 word review of TolcherÂs CD ÂI AmÂ. The grand prize winner will receive a signed CD, T-shirt and wristband. Three runner-up contestants will receive a signed Tolcher poster. DiscoveringArtists.com will judge all entries, which are due by August 31, 2004.
Tolcher released his debut album, ÂI Am (produced by PopRox) in May 2004. Recorded by Chris Shaw (Bob Dylan, Weezer, Dashboard Confessional) and mixed by Tim Palmer (U2, Pearl Jam, The Cure) and Mark Endert (Fiona Apple, Madonna), the album boasts an impressive mix of alternative rock and R&B sounds.
ÂIÂm excited to present our website visitors merchandise from an artist we love, said Pasculli. ÂWorking with Tolcher and our friends at Octone is the icing on the cake.Â
Kristen Pasculli and Dan Galimidi, both 26-years-old and from New Jersey, met in college and devised the plan for the website during Fall 2002. Because their skills complimented each other, launching the site was easy-- and building a reputable name in the music industry was enjoyable.
Pasculli uses her journalism background to provide interviews, reviews and features for the website. During the past year, she has taken a strong interest in the music industry business, and is the promotion manager for BostonÂs electrified folk rocker, Cara Aley. She was also able to successfully expanded her freelance writing clientele by opening up her services to artists of all musical genres.
ÂThe past year has taught me so much about the business, and IÂve enjoyed making down-to-earth contacts. IÂm hoping to work with more artists in the future to promote their work, she said. ÂSeeing musicians weÂve featured get more exposure has been the most gratifying aspect of it all.Â
Galimidi, a graphic artist, created and developed the website design planning it with an easily navigable layout in mind. Galimidi contributes original photography of the live shows he and Pasculli attend. This year, he photographed more than 35 live shows in the Northeast. He also expanded the websiteÂs contest program by contacting artists and labels to offer merchandise for free giveaways. Galimidi successfully conducted more than five contests during the year, and he plans to increase the program in the near future.
ÂOur contests include autographed CD's, concert tickets, and other merchandise from our featured artists. It helps promote the artists, as well as bringing return visitors to our site, he said.
Pasculli and Galimidi worked extensively during the year to promote the Decent Xposure compilation CDs put forth by Ben Hordell and Cari Gelber of Everfine Records. They continue to promote the Decent Xposure collection, which features the DiscoveringArtists.com logo on the covers.

New Trailer For Controversial Drama '3 Generations' With Elle Fanning, Susan Sarandon, & Naomi Watts
Originally titled About Ray, the transgender drama 3 Generations has been a headache for the Weinstein Company since the beginning. First it was casting Elle Fanning in the role of a transgender teen boy that had some up in arms. It didn't help when the film debuted two years ago at TIFF to scathing reviews, which led Harvey Weinstein to chop the whole thing up and refashion it into a less controversial, more palatable movie. That didn't suit the MPAA who still hit it with an R-rating that Weinstein is currently fighting.
After tons of delays a release is only a few weeks away, and now we have a new trailer so you can see all of the changes that have been made. The New York-centric tale follows three generations of women living under the same house. Fanning plays Ray, a transgender boy getting help coping from his lesbian grandmother (Susan Sarandon) and his single mother (Naomi Watts) who is doing the best she can to accept her son for who he is. The film was directed by Gaby Dellal, who issued this statement about the MPAA's rating...
“As a mother and a filmmaker, I want to speak to kids, to parents, and to grandparents everywhere in a common language of love and inclusion about a subject matter that is not only real and complicated, but one that is important and alive today."
Also starring Linda Emond and Tate Donovan, 3 Generations opens in LA and NY on May 5th. | http://www.punchdrunkcritics.com/2017/04/new-trailer-for-controversial-drama-3.html | 2018-10-15T16:49:46 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Reality Hacking No. 68-56, Porto di Genova, Italy, March 1997

With found materials I constructed hundreds of instant sculptures and left them to their fate. | http://www.realityhacking.com/project.php?id=68&img=5 | 2018-10-15T17:52:37 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
It’s King Arthur meets Romeo and Juliet in a story set during the Dark Ages about an English prince who falls in love with an Irish princess. But, the star-crossed lovers must face separation and war in “Tristan and Isolde.”
Robin:
The Roman Empire has fallen and its colony, England, is divided among warring clans. The Irish, united and unconquered by Rome, make raids at will on the English mainland. The British clan leaders realize that they can either join forces or subjugate themselves to Irish King Donnchadh (David O’Hara) and their strongest of the leaders, Lord Marke (Rufus Sewell), wants to head that coalition.
Tristan (James Fanco), as a boy after a bloody battle where the Irish raiders claimed his father’s life, was taken in and raised by Lord Marke. Marke treats the young man as son, advisor and confidante and Tristan grows into a formidable warrior. That is, until he leads a raid against the invading Irish and is slashed by the poisoned blade of the Irish raiders’ chieftain. Thought to be dead, Tristan’s comrades give him a Viking funeral and launch his burning boat into the Irish Sea.
Beautiful Princess Isolde, fearing an arranged political marriage by her father, King Donnchadh, is set to run away when she finds Tristan’s body washed ashore on a remote Irish beach. Isolde is well versed in medicines and, finding a shred of life still left in the castaway, nurses Tristan back to health – with the pair falling in love in the process. When Donnchadh sends his men to scour the land for English infiltrators, Isolde pleads with Tristan to save himself. Tristan, in a stolen boat, escapes back to England.
During Tristan’s long, isolated recuperation, Marke has solidified his role as leader of the English clans and is in the process of forming a treaty with King Donnchadh. The Irish king includes Isolde’s hand as a part of the treaty and Tristan is shocked to learn that his beloved is now his lord’s wife. But, although Isolde belongs to another, the two cannot stay apart and a secret, passionate romance begins again. Meanwhile, the Irish harbor a secret of their own – an invasion to overthrow of Marke and the other clan leaders.
Political intrigue, betrayal, bloody battles and passionate romance are the cornerstones for “Tristan and Isolde.” Director Kevin Reynolds does a yeoman’s job in creating a well-crafted film but one that does not draw the viewer in emotionally. He leads a competent cast and crew that do a convincing job in creating the gritty reality of the Dark Ages with its the violent battles and fledgling political development following the fall of the Roman Empire and the vacuum that created. Costume, production design and lensing are ably handled.
Dean Georgaris’s script doesn’t do much more than provide a thumbnail sketch of historical events. It runs, battle, romance, battle, romance, battle, betrayal, battle, romance, until it wraps up its version of the romantic legend. Don’t expect a recreation of Richard Wagner’s bombastic operatic version of the tale.
James Franco, as the titular Tristan, gives a stern performance but doesn’t really provide the passion that the character needs to make him fully rounded. Sophia Myles, on the other hand, is wonderful as the strong-willed, educated and impassioned Princess Isolde. Myles is a real find and makes her character into a genuine human being and a fine role model for young girls to boot. This is an excellent calling card for the young actress that should garner bigger and better roles.
The only “name” actor in the supporting cast is Rupert Sewell as Lord Marke, not exactly a household moniker. The rest of the cast of unknowns (to me, at least) does competent acting work without any (except Lucy Russell as Isolde’s loyal and brave maid, Edyth) giving a performance of real note.
Tristan and Isolde” tries to be both love story and tale of political intrigue and war. I think it is trying to be both chick flick and machismo movie. I’m not sure it does either well enough but it is a showcase for Sophia Myles. I give it a B-.Laura:
Laura did not see this film.

Limoncello is the most popular liqueur in all of Italy and is increasingly popular here in the US. But I’ve never had limoncello as delicious as homemade, where crafty individuals can manipulate the basic recipe to their own taste.
The concept of making limoncello is very simple and takes literally no skill:
- remove the zest, being careful to leave the white pith behind,
- pour vodka or other spirits over the zests to infuse said spirits with lemon flavor,
- let stand generally undisturbed anywhere from a week to six weeks,
- strain and filter the spirits,
- combine the spirits with simple syrup,
- let stand in the fridge or freezer for a month or more to mellow,
- enjoy!
Watch my video for the technique. The recipe quantities can be found below the video in this post.
Recipe
15 organic lemons, free of blemishes (I’m sorry, I said 30 in the video. 15 lemons is the correct amount)
1 750ml bottle of your favorite vodka
1 750ml bottle of your favorite gin
3 c. distilled (or purified spring) water
4 c. refined granulated white sugar
Important Tips:
- The best tool for removing the zest is vegetable peeler. It allows you to peel off large chips that will be much easier to remove at the end of infusion.
- If you care at all about the quality of your drink and the health of the friends you’re giving it too, take care to choose only organic lemons that appear to be in good shape. So-called “conventional” lemon trees are prone to disease and are protected with the use of herbicides and pesticides that were never intended for human consumption. Conventional lemons are also coated with a produce wax to enhance their appearance, and this will inhibit extraction of the oils. Considering you are using only the zest, the outside layer that is exposed to all this, organic lemons really are the only choice for this process.
- If any of your lemons show signs of molding, they absolutely must be thrown out.
- The jar you use for infusion is very important. Anything but glass or stainless steel will certainly affect the taste in the end. I prefer glass.
- Make sure you have a good seal on your jar or too much alcohol will evaporate during the long infusion period.
- Do not skip the filtration step in my video. The particles left in the drink will settle to the bottom of the flask and stir up when your friends pour a glass, giving an unappetizing appearance. I got my filter basket from these people Webstaurant Store (search for “bunn a10 funnel”) for less than $10 including shipping. I believe you could also use a pour-over style filter basket that is available in most specialty coffee shops. If you find a better way to filter your limoncello, please let me know in the comments below.
- I have not experimented with alternatives for the sugar. But I can tell you that nothing else will give the viscosity you’re looking for in a liqueur than plain refined sugar. Again, if you find an alternative, please share it with us in the comments below.
- Do not skimp on the water. At least use a filter, like Brita. I prefer distilled water.
- I get my flasks from Specialty Bottle (search for “swing top flask”). I get the 8.5oz. flasks. There are other suppliers, but they’re all similar in price, so I choose based on good service, which I get from the Specialty Bottle people.
- Store your limoncello in the freezer, it’s best enjoyed cold. It should remain liquid in the freezer. If it does freeze, your alcohol ratio is off. The problem may stem from too much evaporation during the infusion process, or because you added too much simple syrup for the amount of alcohol you used.
- Given the above, do not fool with the ratios in this recipe. It is formulated just right so it does remain liquid in the freezer.
- Be warned that making limoncello on a small scale is an expensive proposition. The batch you see me make in the video cost me about $150. And it produced sixteen 8oz. flasks. The reward is the friends you share it with will talk about it for a long time! | http://www.ricengravy.com/2016/01/homemade-limoncello/ | 2018-10-15T17:47:50 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Ad Campaign Targets PM Harper’s Support for Asbestos Exports
Media Release
For Immediate Release
November 16, 2010
Ad Campaign Targets PM Harper’s Support for Asbestos Exports
(Ottawa) An advertising campaign urging Prime Minister Harper to end Canada’s asbestos exports was launched today in two major Canadian daily newspapers.
“Stephen Harper’s Killer Legacy,” an ad endorsed by more than a hundred unions, organizations and health defenders from 23 different countries, was published today in the Ottawa Citizen and the Edmonton Journal.
The ad features a mock cadaver with a toe tag which reads “Product of Canada. Cause of Death: Asbestos.” It goes on to state:. Stephen Harper is the only national political leader who still supports the export of asbestos.
Prime Minister Harper, stop exporting asbestos disease to the developing world.
“This is an amazing example of international solidarity,” said campaign founder Kathleen Ruff. “Canadians and people around the world are demanding that Prime Minister Harper end his deadly asbestos policy. He can no longer hide from this issue.”
The ad appears at a crucial moment. An anonymous consortium of investors wants to open a new asbestos mine in Quebec to export quantities of asbestos to the developing world, increasing Canada’s already substantial contribution to the global trade in asbestos.
The campaign is organized by RightonCanada.ca, the human rights outreach and advocacy program of the Rideau Institute. The Rideau Institute is non-profit, independent research, advocacy, and consulting group based in Ottawa.

Some people love the line but for those who don't, the festival will test a new line system this year at two of its busiest venues, Kilbourn Hall and Max of Eastman Place.(6 PM & 6:15 PM shows only.)

Starting 2 hours before show time, patrons (Club Pass holders and those paying cash at the door) may line up and receive a color-coded wristband that will specify a return time to see the show. People must be present and in line to get a wristband and then just come back at their assigned time and enjoy the show!

Only wristbands that are on a wrist will be accepted for entry.

help as well as needing to find the energy to get themselves back off the mat.
Fast forward eight days to September 29, 2018. 8-0 record. Clinched Wild Card #2. Sitting in first place in the NL West by one game with two to play. No it’s not a typo. As a matter of fact, the futility at AT&T Park and Chavez Ravine was all smokes and mirrors! Colorado found a way to bring the brooms to Chase Field and swept them away from the post season over three games. They decided they were having fun and brought the brooms back home to Coors Field where they swept the Phillies over four games.
The current eight-game win streak started when Ryan Spilborghs decided to go up to the last row in the upper most deck closest to center field. And he stayed there for all three games of the Diamondback series with more Rockies fans joining him up there. They named themselves, “Spilly and the Goats.”
Several stars were born during the eight-game streak. Start with German Marquez’ two pitching gems. He tied the MLB record for most strikeouts to start a game with eight and doing it on less than 40 pitches over eight victims. In the same sequence, he also broke Ubaldo Jimenez’ season strikeout total. Another star was Kyle Freeland with his Cy Young form pitching over two games. Friday night (Sept 28th) he gave up a ton of singles but escaped traffic jams virtually every inning but one (Trea Turner’s two-run triple). The hitting star is undoubtedly David Dahl. He is finally free of the injuries and sporadic playing time. Bud Black placed him third in the lineup everyday and he responded with a home run in five straight games (and counting).
Entering the final two games, the Rockies lead the West by a single game over the Dodgers. They will be facing Stephen Strasburg and Max Scherzer while the Dodgers are going with Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler at San Francisco. The previous eight games were no easy task, but holding on to the West title will be a monumental task. Colorado could be playing in the divisional series, play a tie breaker game on Monday, or end up playing a one-game wild card game against the loser of the Cubs-Brewers battle for Central division. The Dodgers could end up winning division, playing a tie breaker game, play in the wild card, or be completely out of the post season. Cardinals have to have several things go right to leapfrog the Dodgers for the second WC birth.
Enjoy the game tonight as I will be at Coors Field. I hope to see a second straight day of champagne popping. (Rockies win and Dodgers lose today). The last thing I want to see is two straight years of one and done WC loss. The good news is that German Marquez is lined up perfectly for the WC game if necessary. If Jon Gray can pitch tonight like he did last Monday, he can reduce the Rockies’ magic number to one.
Nobody’s done anything against Oh … I don’t get pulling him here, particularly since they seem to be going to Rusin. By the way, that’s runner’s interference, plain and simple. The Cubs have had every single controversial call (and there’s been a lot of them) go their way tonight. I usually dismiss these conspiracy theory things as so much nonsense, but this is weird.
Ooooooo mmmmyyyy goosshhh. Throw out all our gripes in 2018. Let’s go dancing in Milwaukee eeee!!!!
I’ve said this several times this season, as have others: Espy must go. When the entire team goes belly-up repeatedly, it’s more than just chance that they collectively bat with bad approaches, no patience, no situational hitting, etc. It starts with the coaching. Just as B&B have worked to solidify the pitching with a solid team of coaches and staff, they must overhaul this offense during the off-season. For years we bemoaned that with all those great hitting teams, “if… Read more »
Excuse me, but what the hell was all that? There’s so much to say about this that I can’t even begin, and maybe I won’t. I see you all are already into dissection mode, so I’ll let y’all roll with it. Me, I’m crushed. That was below terrible. I feel bad for the Rockies and their fans. Thanks to you all for being one of my only good fan places to go.
RnS = for the record, I didn’t skip the “crushed/grieving” phase, I just went through it back in July and August. It was a minor miracle this team made the playoffs given the built-in roster flaws. So…….I had no playoff expectations. Don’t get me wrong, I was happy to be there (playoffs) and wanted to win…………..but sort of thought the team was like a cat on it’s 9th life.
Sort of “pre-actual-end-of-the-line” crushed! Smart (if you can do it) 😉 I’m certainly not saying nobody else is crushed and grieving nor criticizing anything you guys want to say or if you want to start the post-mortem.
Well, Jon Gray surely earned his nickname tonight, coming up small (no! tiny is a better word) in the biggest game of the season. Dear Jeff Bridich: you are about to watch your team fall ONE GAME short of its first divisional title in a quarter century of existence. We haven’t even sniffed a divisional championship before. Would maybe, say, Kevin Gausman have given us a better shot to win one more game? Gio Gonzalez? We’ll never know. I was… Read more »
The game in SF starts at 1:05 MT. The game in Denver starts at 1:10 MT. If I’m the Rox, I have a spy in SF. If Buehler starts for Dodgers, I go Marquez.
You know I was/am particularly fond of Gio Gonzalez, and he cost (the trade the Nats made with the Brewers) next to nothing.
If they both win or lose, that means a tiebreaker game tomorrow in LA, right? Marquez needed more for that one. Or for the wildcard. Those games will be even more desperate. Not feeling hopeful about the long term, guys – i.e., today and what likely follows – 1 or 2 extra games on the road. Big sigh, sad face. Totally with you both on the lack of aggression in shoring up the rotation. Even with Jon pitching well in… Read more »
Roxnsox, I’m with you now on holding Marquez back for one of those possible elimination games. If the Rockies had won yesterday, I’d be gambling with Marquez today – it’s a 4th and 2 situation, and I’d go for it. But now we need help from the Giants, and I’ve got to think the Dodgers and Dave Roberts will have enough in the pen to put away a pretty pathetic Giants offense. The good news is Erick Fedde, kind of… Read more »
Well stated, all of this, Ag…. At least we miss Scherzer, who was reportedly considering pitching.
I guess I REALLY got my pennant race. Forgot how sick it can make one feel, mixed with excitement!
For the record, my “pitch Marquez” comment was based on Scherzer starting for the Nats.
Here we go. Rocktober it is! 4:10 Florida time. I’ll be on board!
One more regular season win … that’s all we needed to avoid this series of one-game mini-playoffs. Can Bridich and Monfort look back on this season and say they did everything reasonably in their power to grab that one additional win? I doubt it. Standing pat at the trade deadline was accepting this scenario.
OK, enough doom and gloom … game’s on!
Ag! carp! Bill! RMH! Jeem! Bob in WV and Bob K! Doc! (Jared?) All the rest! Where ARE you today? I know they may well lose tonight, but can’t we leave the postmortem until and unless they do? Also, they may well WIN! It’s early while I write this, and I thought I was going to go like “lightly, whatever, good season, too bad.” But I’m already an excited wreck (and ready to take whatever the outcome. I think.) Where… Read more »
Sorry, I quit watching the games in real time a long time ago. The game is on and I have no idea how it is going so far. I really hope the Rockies win and they at least have played much better in Chicago than they have in LA.
Sorry Ag. You are here and you can say anything you like about whatever. I’m just so emotional; don’t mean to be the editor/overlord 😉
That’s good news that Rockies don’t give up any runs in first inning. This stupid idiotic NYC umpire can’t overturn inconclusive call. Call on field should stand.
Two outside pitches called strikes for Lester, Story then strikes out. Booooo. Wish we had chat tonight.
And yep, that “ivy” call should have gone our way
OK, anyone out there or not, I need to vent: Bud carried 3 catchers (3!) for this game. Weirdly double-switches so … Drew Butera can hit?? Somehow it works! Butera draws a walk. Then, you’re gonna pinch run for him, right? I mean, that’s why Hampson is on the roster. Nope. Double play on a ball on which Hampson would’ve been safe at 2B by 10 feet. I guess we’re saving Tony Wolters for the Arizona Fall League or something.… Read more »
Butera’s entrance completely baffling to me. The energy seemed to go sideways then.
I don’t know about you guys, but when I dream of an extra innings post-season game, I always have Drew Butera at the plate and Pat Valaika on deck. Way to manage, Bud! It was really, really necessary to do those double switches so we didn’t have to suffer through, oh, I don’t know, Charlie Blackmon at the plate with the winning run on base ….
Laughing…crying…
OK, I get that in the playoffs you’ll face better pitching than usual. You may get shut out by a really good emerging young pitcher like Walker Buehler. Or a veteran playoff-seasoned Jon Lester. But Jhoulys Chacin? A parade of middle relievers? This is getting ridiculous.
I just revisited my predictions for 2018. Pretty good if I do say so myself. Wins…91 10/8, Right on the money! Post season…2nd WC, we will lose a one game playoff to the Dodgers who will dash our hopes of division title. 10/8, Right again! Post season success…we will win the WC game against the Cubs in 10 innings…10/8, missed the innings…damn! NLDS against probably the Brewers…sweept by a team with a better BP and we don’t hit worth a… Read more »
Automated Balls and Strikes…..fans will call for this, and suffer the wrath of Ed. 10/8 – Right again!!!
I feel much better about this tie-breaker Division game given that the Cubs and Brewers have to do the same thing. No advantage gained by anyone. Fair.
Except perhaps the teeny tiny fact that the Rockies have the longest travel. However, it’s suck-it-up time if ever there was.
Denver to LA isn’t bad.
2:00 MDT first pitch tomorrow! Whaaat? Somehow I thought it would be Cubs-Brewers late pm, followed by a night game in LA. But I guess the Tuesday schedule wouldn’t allow that. Can’t believe I’m going to miss this one; skipping out on work isn’t really an option. (Although if it’s close in the 7th inning, I’ll find a way and a bar …). Good argument to be made that this game features the best two pitchers in the NL in… Read more »
For some weird reason, I really like our chances tomorrow.
Unrelated note……why are the Nats so bad? That’s a good lineup. Interesting offseason ahead for the Nats.
Since ESPN has the rights to these games, and they also have Monday Night Football, I figure that’s why
My hope, other than to win, is not to get embarrassed. Our big guns (sort of) saved us from that. They actually had 4 hits and 2 runs, not the total disaster prematurely mentioned here. The difference is pretty much that amazing kid Buehler throwing no mistake pitches versus our amazing kid Marquez throwing maybe a couple. No big shame here, just disappointment. Pride in German. A hope for the Rockies to hit the way they can. Too much hitting… Read more »
Just in time! The 97 mph fastball Otto used to show pre-TJ surgery. Still alive!
Nolan swinging foolish in the 9th
I never understood just why Rockies management felt the need to trade for Butera and I definitely don’t understand Black bringing Butera into the game unless it is Black’s intention to lose the game. Really questionable moves by Black tonight.
How long does Contreras get to stand around stretching before the umps say you just have to pull him out of the game? I know MLB wants to see their beloved Cubbies in the NLDS, but enough is enough
Why didn’t Nolan throw Baez off and complete the DP?! Too weird that he’s standing there submitting to the “hug” and even smiling. And/or why is this not interference?
I can’t understand that at all. I think it was just what A-Rod said – Nolan didn’t even try to sell it, just stood there like an idiot smiling at that high-spirited Mr. Baez. I’ve seen interference called on WAY less than that.
Maybe Nolan is getting as delirious with tiredness as I am
WOOOOOO!!! HOOOOOO!!! Love you Rox!!!!!
Ladies and Gents – I haven’t commented (much) the last few days…..on the road with work related stuff. Super excited to see the Rox get the win in Chicago last night and eliminate the evil Cubs. I’m sure the Boyz are excited to have an off day and a very, very short trip to Milwaukee.
My advice is twofold:
1. Don’t pitch to Christian Yelich.
2. Score early and often to stay away, at least in critical situations, from Josh Hader.
Hitting with men in scoring position seems the fatal flaw. It’s a shame, but not unexpected, with these guys slumping as a group and mashing as a group. Good – really good – season. Not quite good enough. This is a dispassionate and reasoned comment purposely overtopping my sad and passionate emotions.
Please let the BABIP god help Tyler Anderson today.
Looks like Dodgers and Brewers will win today with their quick starts and the Cubs are losing.
So it’s up to the Rockies to play division tie breaker tomorrow with Marquez and Buehler butting heads or Rockies go to Chicago for wild card game. Good news is we have Marquez and Freeland for next two games.
Not so fast on the Cubbies! (5th inning) TWO game 163s ahead? Whoa 🙂
Win tomorrow and we return home for the Atlanta series. Lose, we go to loser of Cubs/Brewers game tomorrow on Tuesday.
I’m perfectly ok if we have to play Monday and Tuesday, but I prefer taking division title. I’m thinking back to 2007 when we had to travel to Philadelphia after game 163 the next day. I think we play better that way because you have no time tip let tension build up.
Good point; 9 days off in ‘07 probably doomed them. BUT 1) winning the division!!! And 2) two days off at home, to start at home would be huge. If they won the wild card, then don’t they have to continue on the road (Atlanta?)
And what an emphatic performance today! Just what the doctor ordered. Tyler, welcome back.
WC winner will play at Cubs or Brewers whoever wins the division (they also get #1 seed)
Brewers send Cubs to wildcard game; halfway there to my fantasy of Dodger/Cub duel for wildcard. Come on Rocks. I want to see Rockies victory dance on Dodger infield.
Diamond backs fired Magadan, their hitting coach. Pirates fired Branson and Livesey, their hitting coaches. Get a clue Rockies.
Rockies get no hit and shut out by the Dodgers today. I hope they are saving their bats for tomorrow night.
One hit. Bud Black’s legacy, can’t win when it matters. They will get shut out by the Cubs tomorrow and they will keep the same hitting coaches next year.
Roxnsox, I’m still here … nail biter … Freeland: awesome! And yes, that idiotic “i lost it in the ivy call” might well have cost us another run. What, you aren’t even required to look for the ball anymore? Ian Desmond tagging: kind of stupid, yes, but then again, he knew Iannetta and Freeland were up next, and no way they were hitting for Freeland, so why not get in scoring position for Iannetta … but then again, if it… Read more »
Bad Otto decided to pay Wrigley a visit … serious panic time ….
He was good Otto almost long enough
But does bad RISP get us again? How many precious chances blown? 1-1 top 9th.
Again, I don’t get it … Oberg in to face Bryant … Rusin has been like the 2017 Rusin this last month and looks very sharp tonight …
Well the heck with the game, win or lose, it was better than last year’s disastrous games at Arizona.
Tony!!! Who pitches NOW to save it? Not Mc Gee please, by all that is holy.
Oh – I thought Oberg was hit for. I like it!
Qualifying Offer set at $17.9MM.
The bats have gone silent on the road again. What’s the team BA now in the 3 “post-season” games (Dodgers/Cubs/Brewers) on the road? Must be about .150, if even that. Meanwhile, look at Bud’s bullpen choices: DJ Johnson, 29 year old career minor leaguer on a minimum salary – he’s out there (and on the roster) instead of $9 million man Bryan Shaw. Now Musgrave, minimum salary guy, instead of $6 million man Jake McGee. It’s almost as if you… Read more »
Foul ball! Aaaaahhhhh! 🙁 Get ‘em anyway!
Three hits in the top of the 9th. Parra, Holliday, Blackmon. 1st run!
Trevor waaaay too anxious, swinging at stuff way outside and low. Boy, they should have done more than tie it out of all that – but I’ll take it!
Bad Otto bad time – runner to 2nd on crazy wild pitch
Who eventually scores the winner. So close…
Otto, you’re a huge reason we’re still playing in October. But Bud, Mr. Oh should now have this role locked down. As the Fox postgame guys said, Otto (Wolters? Both?) were just plain afraid of uncorking another 55 foot slider with a man on 3rd, making it way too easy for Moose and the Brewers
How did you like Oh’s performance today?
Our starting pitching is better than theirs; their bullpen is a lot better than ours. Thanks to the regular season going down to the wire, we had to start this series on the road with our two best starters in storage. That changes now in Colorado. So there’s something to be optimistic about. Yep, Oh let me down today. So did basically every position player. But I gotta admit it – I kind of like how these Brewers are constructed,… Read more »
The Brewers lost 4 of 7 games to the Dodgers in the regular season. Of course they won 5 of 7 against the Rockies.
Ladies and Gents – I’m alive! On the road most of this week, but able to watch/listen to some of the action. General comments: 1. Regarding Ag’s “I kind of like how the Brewers are constructed” comment……I’ll go a step further and say I love how they’re constructed. I liked them in the preseason and listed them as a serious WC contender but was concerned about their SP. I “thought” Jimmy Nelson would be back for 2nd half. WRONG. But… Read more »
Don’t shoot me, but I’m rooting for the Dodgers to whack the Brewers and eventually beat any of the AL teams that won 110 games beating up on 10 other bad AL teams. Seriously, I hope Marquez and Freeland will get us the next two games and give us momentum going into game 5. But yeah, we need to stop saying veterans will be better next year. Sign Bryce Harper. Move Desmond to utility man off bench. Trade Arenado for… Read more »
I’m not convinced Mondo (Harper) has a great attitude. Something is wrong in that Clubhouse. It obviously transcended Dusty Baker. It was there before Adam Eaton, Trea Turner, and Max Scherzer arrived. I have a hard time believing Ryan Zimmerman is a problem. Deductive reasoning/math leaves Strasburg, Harper, and Rendon. I could be wrong.
Bryce has supposedly rehabilitated his jerk reputation, but I’m far from convinced. His I’m-so-cool hair flipping is about enough for me (take it from a girl who has grown long past high school on that crap).
No on Harper. And I will NEVER root for the Dodgers in any way. Well, only if they face the Yankees in the Series. (Ugh, barf, probably wouldn’t even watch that one.)
So I got two thumbs down despite my ideas on how to improve the team next year? I suspect me rooting for Dodgers and/or the idea of getting Harper. LOL.
Just win 3 straight and move on to beating Dodgers. Then worry about off season afterwards. Don’t tell me same old, will be better next year with same guys.
I just gave you a thumbs up! I always respect someone who thinks big.
You suspect correctly on my thumbs down, RMH. LOL. Your big ideas – why not? Dream in full color and detail! That’s part of the fun posting as a fan, right? 😉
Love the intent to shake things up RMH. I hate the Dodgers but hate the Yankees and Red Sox worse–sorry Roxnsox. Never liked Harper but getting big bat for outfield is a priority. Trading Nolan should come down to $$$–the way he’s played the last couple months or so has soured me on him. Not sure where he came up with this new habit of removing his helmet to pan for the cameras, but I hate it–reminds me of Harper… Read more »
The one single biggest possible improvement to the whole team is to hire a competent hitting coach. It is a shame that only Marquez and Rusin can be counted on to get a bunt down when it is needed.
Doc, Nolan has slipped in my estimation a bit, as well. Has he already peaked? What, only 27 or so? I’m not sure we can call it freezing under pressure of the big lights, since it started weeks ago, as you say. OR – is he still struggling some with his shoulder?
And it’s OK if you hate the Red Sox. Many do. Hahahaaa!
Boy, they fought like lions, didn’t they!
Nolan “I need some help here!” Arenado, post-season: 3 for 17, 0 extra base hits, 2 RBI. It should be Rockies starters crying “We need some hitting here!”
Oh, that reminds me: RMH, I’ve been waiting … Nolan is really good, but he’s not in the top half dozen players in MLB. Don’t pay him like he is.
They looked like me, old and tired. Fans deserved better, Mr. Birdich.

Team batting average in the 3 game sweep? .146. Pathetic.

Let’s revisit my 2018 predictions: “Whoa….the season has snuck up on us! Here’s my 2018 prediction: 79-83 {10/7/2018 – WRONG!} Here’s why: 1. We have done nothing, absolutely nothing, to address our Achilles heel – offense. In fact, we’ve doubled down on aging, regressing players. This will cost a few wins off our 87 win total from 2017. {10/7/2018 – correct analysis……wrong on losing wins (sort of)} 2. I have maintained that we were very lucky in 2017 to get… Read more »
Suggestion: I find it easier to use the new site when reading “new” comments rather than replying. So I’ll take my own advice starting now. Ed – right on the money with your predictions! I’m checking with you before I head to Vegas in the spring. My next “new” comment – what went right, what went wrong …
As far as what went wrong with the Rockies and right with the Brewers, I really can’t say it better than this conversation from Nate Silver’s fivethirtyeight site – this ran just before the Brewers-Rockies series started, and it’s all there. The apparent starting pitching edge for the Rockies, playing out just like the starting pitching edge the old (early 2000s) Oakland A’s had – the edge that famously made Billy Beane say, “My [crap] just doesn’t work in the… Read more »
Baseball people have been talking about this year’s Free Agent class for the last three years. The battle call has been “just wait until the 18-19 Free Agent class.” Well…..it’s here now. Link: Ironically, on the surface, there isn’t an obvious, no-brainer, right-handed, mega power 1B on the list. But, just below the surface, there is an option I like for the Rockies (that might also be in the Rockies price range.) Josh Donaldson. I know, I know……another guy… Read more »
The Rockies already have enough “old” guys. Its time to let the youngsters play instead of bringing in someone else to block them.
Projected Arbitration Salaries for 2019
Rockies (8)
Nolan Arenado – $26.1MM
Trevor Story – $6.4MM
Chad Bettis – $3.2MM
Jon Gray – $3.2MM
Tyler Anderson – $2.9MM
Chris Rusin – $1.7MM
Scott Oberg – $1.2MM
Tony Wolters – $1.1MM
Arenado expects to remain with Rockies, but …
I’m surprisingly neutral on this (Nolan trade…..or not). This is one where the FO has to talk with Nolan and his Agent and gage their resign interest. If it’s 50/50……I sort of lean “trade.” If they feel like there’s a 75% chance he resigns, I lean “roll the dice.” I suppose there’s a tipping point in there somewhere. When I have the time and energy, I’ll do a bit of research on big market teams that have a need at… Read more »
Rockies players in Arizona Fall League
Ryan Castellani RHP
Mitch Horacek LHP
Justin Lawrence RHP
Jesus Tinoco RHP
Josh Fuentes IF
Tyler Nevin IF
Thanks for the AFL list, Bob K. Looks like the usual mix of good prospect “let’s see what he can do against higher level competition” (Castellani, Nevin) and the “is he worth adding to the 40 man roster” (everyone else). Josh Fuentes is kind of intriguing – Nolan’s cousin for one thing, a right handed bat for another – but he hasn’t shown all that much in the minors except for a good finish every year. Horacek looks like a… Read more »
Not surprising since Boras is his agent but Kris Bryant turned down a $200MM offer from the Cubs.
Bob K – you’re slipping on us just a bit. Cubs fire Batting Coach Chili Davis after their Rockies-esque offensive year. You’ve already pointed out the Snakes fired Dave Magadan after their sort-of, kind-of, but not as bad Rockie-esque offensive year.
Come on Rockies……fire Espy.
As I recall, the Marlins also parted ways with their hitting coach. I just saw Saunders Blurb about the Rockies needing to upgrade their offense as if it were the players fault. I predict that the Rockies will never win or even make it to the World Series under Bud Black. I also predict that the Rockies will not fire their incompetent hitting coaches. Please, please may I be wrong.

Doha, and the Doha Sports Club athletics facility, photo from IPC
Here is Stuart Weir's column on Doha. I think you will find it enjoyable! After nine days in Qatar, Stu has kept his sense of humor or humour, however one spells it.
This is my ninth day in Doha, Qatar and I have yet to meet a Qatari. The duty manager who checked me into the hotel is from Romania. The receptionist who has helped me a few times - Ukrainian. The catering team in the media centre - Filipinos. The bus drivers Kenya, Bangladeshi, Algerian, Pakistani. The media helpdesk people Sri Lankan and Moroccan. I got my accreditation from an Iraqi.
The population of Qatar in 2013 was 1.8 Million. 278,000 Qatari and 1.5 Million expats. That is 13% of the population of Qatar are Qatari. It is as if each Qatari has 7 expats to run the country for them. One expat described it as "living in parallel universes. We do the same things but never meet".
Everyone drives a large car and 75% of cars are white. I suppose in an oil-rich state they don't have to worry about fuel costs! Traffic is difficult with regular jams. One bus driver explained to me that a Qatari family of six would have six cars - all on the road at the same time. Roads are almost all dual-carriageways, requiring a lot of doubling back to get anywhere.
A real challenge would be to take a photo of the city which did not include a crane or other evidence of building work. There are building sites everywhere.
Shuttle buses for the event work well, which is good as, someone told me, there are no public buses. A metro is being dug at the moment. Hotel staff, for example, live in hostels with a private bus taking them to and from work. Taxis are plentiful and hotels have their own cars called limousines - but in reality they are average saloons - which can be used instead of taxis.
There are two restaurants at the athletics stadium - Burgerking and Appleby's. I saw a sign to MacDonalds. American culture lives!
I googled a Christian church. Before I could access the site, a warning screen popped up: "This website contains content of a Christian nature. Please proceed at your own discretion". OK then.
Sport is clearly big in the country. The newspapers have a large section covering national and international sport - from European soccer to NFL with reports on the PGA tour and the latest tennis open.
Qatar will host the 2015 World Handball Championships, tickets have just gone on sale for the Qatar Golf Open 2016 - Ernie Els, Adam Scott, Sergio Garcia and Henrik Stenson are among past winners. As far as local sport goes I can tell you that Al Rayyan are still in a strong position for the Qatar Stars League!
There are rumours that Manny Pacquiao may fight Amir Khan in Doha. Khan says "Qatar would be a perfect place for the fight. Qatar is moving forward with sport". There is no doubt that that is true; Qatar's commitment to sport is very noticeable at all level. This week as well as Amir Khan, the President of Kazakhstan is in Doha. He too is on the sports pages, signing a football agreement of co-operation between the two countries.
The commitment to sport is beyond question.
PS After writing the above I did get to meet a real live Qatari, a member of the Royal Family no less. Read what she had to say about the Qatari attitude to sport tomorrow. | http://www.runblogrun.com/2015/10/doha-your-daily-dose-from-doha-2015-ipc-athletics-world-champs-by-stuart-weir.html | 2018-10-15T17:02:53 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Hello,
I'm trying out Rune for the first time and I can't get the hardware volume to work, I used both Moode and Volumio in the past, and both had working hardware volume control, with the same setup. I'm using a cheap usb-stick soundcard.

Please note: if you intend to communicate with members regarding a current matter being considered by the Planning Board please be advised of this limitation:
Ex parte communications are a particular concern because they involve an opportunity for one party to influence a decision maker outside the presence of other parties and off the record, violating due process requirements.
The Board meets the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 5:30 p.m. in the City Hall Conference Room.
In most cases, site plans are projects that are permitted in a particular zone, but that require a new building to be built, or result in a large amount of said disturbance. In an Industrial District, the threshold is 10,000 s.f. of new building space, while in a business district, anything over 1,000 s.f. of new building requires review. The intent of site plan review is to make sure that a project's adverse impacts are minimized. These impacts could include soil erosion or sedimentation into streams, controlling increased stormwater flows, proper buffers from roads, neighbors, natural areas and residences.
Conditional uses are uses that are fairly appropriate in a particular zone, but that may cause some increased impacts. For instance, a new retail building in a business zone is a permitted use. However, an auto repair garage is a conditional use, because of the potential for increased impacts, such as noise, odor, pollution, etc. Each zone has conditional uses that must go to the Planning Board before being implemented.
Subdivisions take place when a piece of land is split into three or more smaller pieces, or when a building is converted to three or more dwelling units. These require formal plans to be drawn by an engineer or surveyor that show where the new property lines will be. In the case where a new road is to be built, the drainage system has to be designed by an engineer, and reviewed by our engineer, to ensure that the road is designed and ultimately built the correct way.
Another aspect of subdivisions is open space preservation. In all subdivisions, a portion of the parcel has to be set aside as open space. This helps to ensure that not all land is built on, and that appropriate buffers are maintained along wetlands and streams.

Interview:.
SAD: Could you tell me a little bit about Perfect Imperfections, and how the three of you came to work together?
Celeste: Well, Jodi and I did a full-length show several years ago called Woman Giving Birth to a Red Pepper, that was sold out and it was at the Cultch. It’s about sexuality and mid-life, and sensuality, and the juiciness of being deeply alive in your body. And, the way I met Jodie was she was my student at SFU. She was in an Arts Education Master’s degree, and I’m a professor in the program, so that’s where I first met her, and later on several years ago we decided to collaborate together. We wanted to do another full-length show. We loved working with one another. She had a student, Alexa Reimer, who’s an amazing harpist at Kwantlen where she teaches, so she invited Alexa to join with us. The three of us have been working together since February, and that’s how it started. And then we’re bringing on Katherine Penfold, who is a singer as well.
SAD: And, I’m wondering, how do you see women—and, people in general, but I understand the show centres on women’s perspectives—relating to themselves in a way that inspired you to create a show that’s about accessing messiness, and accepting the things we cast out?
C: The first thing is: I can only create out of my own lived experience. I can’t create someone else’s. My experience is indicative of being a woman, and so I create out of my lived experience. We’ve really put a lot of emphasis on living from the inside out, rather than the outside in, and that we have this amazing richness. To dwell inside the richness and messiness of our bodies. But we’ve really been subjected to, not only different kinds of gaze towards us, but we actually are not free in our bodies; we don’t enjoy them. Often they talk about only using one part of your brain, whatever… I think we don’t live deeply and enjoy the richness of our viscerality. Whether that means just walking in the forest, or taking a breath, or having spectacular sex; actually understanding body intelligence. The body is deeply connected to our brilliance. I’m fascinated by creating out of that, and actually a lot of times we can’t just create. We wait to create. Like, we get the babysitter and then we create. We all have these messy, complicated lives, even if it looks like we don’t. We’re all just walking around acting like we don’t have bowel movements.
I have three kids I raised mostly on my own, I had to work full-time, so I just create in the midst of it. And out of that, I realized there’s incredible richness about embracing this messiness and embracing the imperfections. We’re all so obsessed about being perfect, but the root word of “perfect” means “wholeness”. It doesn’t mean having it all together, or right. And so, that’s kind of the impetus for the show. But Jodi has kind of done the same thing, and she’s created her new album which is hitting like wildfire, she created that out of her own life, out of her lived experiences of loss, of her mother having Alzheimer’s. I’ve also created a lot out of loss, and there’s this relationships between humour, humanness and humus. Having some lightness to our life, the humour in humanity.
SAD: I love that so much. And it seems like so many of us are waiting for ourselves and our lives to get out of the way so that we can create.
C: That’s totally it. We are waiting to create—to have the perfect opportunity. I think what’s really deeply taught me this, is that my parents died eight months from each other, and I was only thirty, and I was an only child, and I realized that you cannot wait. You cannot wait to do stuff because the only moment we have is the present. In fact, I don’t really want to give it away, but I give this kind of TEDTalk on how to create and sustain a mess in your life , and at the end of the talk, the last line is, “A mess is waiting to interrupt you.”
SAD: Ah, that’s wonderful.
C: So, how do we listen to our interruptions? If something happens, and it changes… How do we relinquish that and stay within that? Within every creative person is a mess, and part of that messiness is actually the canvas. That’s the paint. That is the stuff for creativity. We need to have form, but we need to be able to play with form, like playing with mud, to be able to transform. The show has these threads of dance, comedy, and jazz, and harp, and it goes from the absurd to the profound. It’s for women, and it’s for men as well—but the reality is, we’re women. I can’t speak for men—I don’t like it when they speak for me. But, it’s all about being human.
SAD: I have a sense that embodiment is a huge part of the work, even just based on what you said earlier. I loved when you said, “the juiciness” of being alive in the human body. It sounds like you’re describing an experience that is explicitly intuitive and embodied, in a way that it’s difficult to wrap our dialectic minds around. I’m wondering if you could speak to the place of embodiment in the show, and how it maybe was part of the creative process.
C: That is my scholarship. My artistic work and my scholarly work is about embodiment. And embodiment, I know when I first started studying it, was very disembodied. The language was very disembodied. It was very distant, and very linear. Embodiment for me is the connection between body, mind, soul, spirit, cognition, intuition. That means living in the paradox of being bodies. Most of the time we think we have bodies, but we are bodies. We’re concerned about how big our hips are, our nose is, how not-how-big our breasts are… there’s a whole piece in the show about “Not Enough, Too Much”. It’s never right. But what does it mean to feel that energy in your body, that you’re so alive? I really believe it’s the same energy that’s connected to the earth, connected to creating, connected to sexuality.
For example, one of the pieces is about “the roll” on the belly. What I call “the roll” as well has been marginalized to a country that’s both far away, and you’re not supposed to have it. The reality is that lots of us have a roll, have a belly. But the belly is this incredible energy. It’s like this source. The belly is the volcano. And you start putting it under girdles… and we may not have girdles now, but we put it under our bullying. Our girdle is that we bully our bodies. What would happen if we just celebrated them? How would that shift our relationship to ourselves, to our partners? It doesn’t matter what you are, LGBTQ+, anything, we’re all subject to this mass-marketing. None of us escape it. You go to the grocery store and it’s all about the outside and the inside. And so slowly, it’s wears us down, and you forget the magnificence in our bodies.
So in the show, there’s room for tears, there’s room for hilarity, there’s sensuality, and the idea that we live in this perfect imperfection no matter what we do. I’ve written lots about embodiment, but to me it’s should just be all summed up in one gesture: in how we are present in our bodies. I want people to go away and feel inspired to be deeply alive in whoever they are. I’ve had surgeries, and knee replacements, we all have some degree of limitation. We at least will, because none of us are getting out alive. So how do we do that, embracing our limitations? I mean, I’m doing this show and I’m in a mess! I have a hamstring injury, my pelvis apparently isn’t stable, so y’know, let’s do it in our imperfections and in what happens. That’s totally against all of our training in the arts. Everything has to be perfect. Well, I don’t know if I’m ever gonna get everything perfect. By the time I get it perfect, I’ll be gone. | http://www.sadmag.ca/blog/2018/5/31/interview-celeste-snowber | 2018-10-15T17:10:47 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Enterococcus faecium, a bacterial species resistant to multiple drugs that can cause infections in hospitals, is becoming increasingly tolerant to the alcohols used in hand sanitizing disinfectants.
Nosocomial infections, those acquired during a hospital stay, represent a serious global health problem. In recent decades, treatment-resistant bacterial species, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), have become a growing source of concern for hospital workers.
Therefore, health centers have adopted strict hygiene procedures to prevent infections by dangerous microbes, which often involve washing hands with disinfectants based on isopropyl or ethyl alcohol.
A new study, published in Science Translational Medicine, reveals that a bacterium called Enterococcus faecium, resistant to multiple drugs, is becoming increasingly tolerant to the alcohols used in hand-disinfectants in hospitals. Moreover, drug-resistant E. faecium infections have increased despite the use of alcohol disinfectants, and currently represent one of the main causes of hospital-acquired infections.
This alarming development prompted a team of scientists to investigate whether E. faecium could be causing resistance to the alcohols used in hand washing. The analysis, led by experts from the University of Melbourne (Australia), took bacterial samples from two hospitals in the country for 19 years. The results suggest that E. faecium is adapting to this form of infection control, which is used in health facilities around the world.
Mitigate bacterial resistance
The experts examined 139 samples of E. faeciu , collected previously between 1997 and 2015, and analyzed the survival of each specimen when exposed to diluted isopropyl alcohol. Their findings reveal that samples collected after 2009 were, on average, more tolerant to alcohol compared to bacteria taken before 2004.
In a second phase, the authors disseminated different strains of E. faecium in the soil of the mouse cages and found that alcohol-tolerant samples colonized better in rodents that were housed in clean cages with isopropyl alcohol wipes.
The analysis of the bacterial genome revealed that the tolerant samples harbored several mutations in genes involved in the metabolism that conferred greater resistance to alcohol. The authors point out the need to examine samples in hospitals in other geographical regions before being able to draw important conclusions.
“Global efforts to mitigate bacterial resistance should consider how microbes can adapt not only to drugs, but also to alcohols and other ingredients used in disinfectants,” they concluded.

Striving to separate the hard news from the search engine news (Charlie Sheen ad nauseum), what is popular to say or to hear is not always the most relevant news one can share. I just read an article that claimed that Willy Wonka was not an objective observer of the benefits of chocolate. Someone might also say that vultures are selective eaters, since only dead meat will suffice. Is that selective? Is Willy objective? My primary point, repeated in many versions over the last 36 months, is that you should trust the source of information in inverse proportion to how much they would benefit if you bought what they are selling. Do you purchase a whole new bedroom set because the salesperson you talk to says that today’s sale is over at closing time and prices will never be this low again? You actually believe that? When can you deliver that load of particle board, glue and wood veneer? When exactly is the best time to buy something, anyway? How about “when you have a need for it”? Regardless of what you are going to pay, you hopefully have other reasons to buy than just to brag that you talked the guy down 37%. Is there some human reason you are thinking of purchasing a home? Price should enter the conversation, but it is not the REASON you are thinking of buying, is it? “Because it is such a good deal” is why you want to buy it? That might work for blue jeans. Don’t you have to live somewhere? Garage your Audi somewhere? Sleep somewhere? Suggestion: buy a home to live in, not because you heard that now is the time to buy.
There is optimism and there is pessimism. Neither one has secured a seat at the table of facts and truth. They both visit frequently and they constantly try to influence the truth. It’s perfectly fine to be skeptical about what you heard or read, as it is also perfectly fine to selectively and proudly repeat the best news you heard today. Neither approach is right or wrong, but more typical of who you are and how you interact with others in your day to day life. As a Libran (who suspects he is being typecast), I look for balance – the middle ground between two extremes – while facing or moving forward. Harmony is not just a word when you are standing between extreme opposites, or mediating a loud disagreement. When I gather statistical facts and try to figure things out, I have to take off all the special hats I wear so the end result is not affected by how the results look while I am wearing any one of those hats. Does this real estate bubble make me look fat? Should my beliefs about abortion affect my real estate acumen? Who do I tell just what I truly believe? There is an app for that.
I cannot recall when I first noticed it, but the websites many of us see when we sign on to our computers are full of something trying to pass for news. All agree that Charlie Sheen has not yet made ANY news in his life, yet there he is in the headlines again. One excuse I have heard is that the younger demographic wants to hear about this sort of thing; and the separation between celebrity gossip and real news no longer exists. Can we all agree on that? Then there is that resemblance to all of the talk and chatter and sales pitches you might hear from those that are “in the know” about Santa Fe residential real estate. The more someone stands to gain if you follow their advice, the more you should be wary of that advice. If George tells you to buy a house and he would make $10,000 when and if you buy, then listen to Abe who has nothing to gain from your decisions or actions. Maybe Abe will say the same thing as George, but at least you know Abe does not wear a special hat that makes noise when you buy a house. I hate that noisy hat. How about a new rule for real estate bloggers? All Those Who Enter Here Shall Tell The Truth Even If You Are Trying To Influence Us Into Buying More Houses. No exceptions.
So are you an optimist? Maybe a pessimist? Does it matter? Not really. Somedays you feel great and other days you feel as if the problems are insurmountable. You can feel anyway you want to feel. Just please keep your special hat off when counseling others about what they should do with their life savings, OK?

Healthy
Meal Prep Monday: Muttar Paneer, Red Lentil Dhal and Cauliflower Pulao4/16/2018 11:39:00 AM
Good morning! Meal Prep Monday post for you today! Oh my goodness, hasn't it suddenly gotten colder this week? It felt like the summer was going on for a lot longer than usual, and then BANG, Saturday hit us with a cold front, heavy rains, and super strong winds. Totally time for some heartier meals.
So for today's meal prep, we've got an Indian-inspired combo of: muttar paneer, red lentil dhal with cauliflower rice pulao.
I wanted a comforting meal with vibrant flavours, but I didn't want it to be too heavy or rich, and I still wanted lots of vegetables, fibre and (vegetarian) protein. This was the perfect combo. You may remember I gushed about the cauliflower rice pulao in a previous post, and the red lentil dhal was a component of a previous Meal Prep Monday post (there I served it with spiced roast potatoes and cucumber raita - fabulous).
So the new component for today's meal prep is the muttar paneer curry - or peas and cottage cheese. I use Nigella's recipe from Feast. (I actually blogged about it 13 years ago, as part of another "Low-Carb Indian!" post). Looks like this is my go-to for Indian food when I'm trying to eat healthily.
The muttar paneer is pretty easy to make, especially if you can find pre-fried cubes of paneer. (Sandra bought a bag of this ages ago, when she was getting really keen on Indian vegetarian cooking, so it was conveniently in our freezer. But it was easily available at our local Indian grocer). Of course, if you can't find pre-fried cubes, you can just buy a block of paneer (my local supermarket stocks it), cut it into cubes and fry it yourself. And another alternative would be to use firm tofu, which would make this vegan. (However, unless you are vegan or dairy-intolerant, I would suggest trying to find paneer, because it is extremely delicious and worth seeking out!)
One thing to note, these recipes do make pretty generous quantities. My usual meal preps are enough for four meals, but this makes enough for about eight meals, depending on how hungry you are. I ate it for lunch and dinner throughout the week, and enjoyed it so much that I was happy to do so! If you don't like repeating meals, I'd suggest either sharing it with your family, or freezing individual servings for future meals. Alternatively, to make enough for just four meals, halve the quantities of both the muttar paneer and the dhal, or make a full quantity of just the muttar paneer or the dhal. (I'd leave the cauliflower as it is).
However, as I mentioned above, I was eating this meal all week, and was still really happy about it on the last day. Apart from tasting fabulous with all the different spices, I found it filling and substantial without being stodgy. Even though I was going with a carb-free alternative to rice, it didn't feel like I was depriving myself - it was just delicious!
Muttar PaneerHave you made this recipe? Leave a comment below! Tag me on Instagram @sarahcooksblog and hashtag #sarahcooksblog
Recipe adapted from Nigella Lawson's Feast
Ingredients
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or ghee
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 inch piece ginger
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
500 grams frozen peas
1 teaspoon tomato paste
250 millilitres vegetable stock (I use boiling water and stock powder)
225 grams fried paneer cubes, from the freezer section (see note below)
Method
Heat the oil in a large pan, big enough to take everything later.
Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Add onion, garlic and ginger to the pan with a generous pinch of salt, and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent.
Add the turmeric powder and garam masala and stir through.
Add the frozen peas and stir to coat in the spice mixture.
Stir the tomato paste into the vegetable stock, and then pour into the pot with the peas. Bring to a robust simmer, then turn the heat to low. Cover with a lid and simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir in the (still frozen) paneer cubes, cover and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Remove the lid and simmer for a further 5 minutes, or until the cheese is heated through and the liquid has thickened slightly.
Note: If you can't find frozen fried paneer cubes, buy fresh paneer and cut into rough 1.5 centimetre cubes. Fry the cubes in oil (be careful of splatters) until golden brown all over. Drain on paper towel and set aside while you make the peas. Add the cheese cubes to the peas at the end of cooking time.
Red Lentil Dhal
Make the red lentil dhal from my previous post, but omit the spinach and chickpeas.
Cauliflower Rice Pulao
Make the cauliflower rice pulao from my previous post.
I love this curry! And it's great for a meal prep Monday because it would only improve with the days too :D I might make a version with tofu one day.

Atmospheric Attack Carrier (AAC)
Siege Perilous Class
Platform Overview:
The Siege Perilous class Atmospheric Attack Carrier serves as the Group Operational Commander for a PRG during battlegroup operations. The AAC primary combat role is to destroy hostile tactical aircraft and defensive stations on the ground. It ensures that the skies are clear for dropships and other endo/exo-atmospheric craft during beach-head establishment, provides close air support (CAS) for Lancers on the ground, and destroys hostile ground forces in the interdiction zone. In addition, the AAC provides air traffic control for the PRG and directs all High Guard movement onto the objective. Although it is nearly as large as an XMC, the space on board an AAC is devoted almost entirely to hangar space and crew quarters. As a result, the AAC has limited value as a non-combat support ship aside from directing ship-to-surface relief operations from other platforms.

Abstract
Road accident is one of the major causes of death in KSA. Therefore, making some important decisions, such as investing in traffic safety, improving roads or distributing research priorities and the necessary activities to strengthen the safety, all require either implicitly or explicitly the evaluation and estimation of the costs of these incidents, in order to make sure that those investments have an economical feasibility in the light of the limited economic resources. This research estimates the overall economic costs of road accident through focusing on estimating the value of human life and humanity, by measuring the probabilistic value of the willingness-to-pay, according to the model of Jones-Lee and others. This research also estimates the value of a statistical life (VOSL) for car drivers in Saudi Arabia, depending on applying the willingness-to pay approach, through a list questionnaire, depending on survey methodology. Results indicate that the Mean of the value of a statistical life in KSA was amounted to Saudian Riyals (SAR) 3.4 million. Accordingly, the cost of the life loss in KSA reached about SAR 49.4 billion, compared to the traffic accidents costs in general, including the fatalities, injuries and damages estimated to be SAR 54.9 billion. | http://www.scienpress.com/journal_focus.asp?main_id=55&Sub_id=IV&Issue=1504 | 2018-10-15T17:01:28 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

I won’t say that it’s badly written, but for me there’s just no “Wow”-effect.
The Article is literally about replicating animals which has probably been done quite a few times.
I would make the gray substance something special for the foundation to harvest … or to contain like a, i don’t know some form of parasytic entity
All in all i would greatly suggest adding more anomalous properties to the article.

Fake Chrome browser replaces real thing and serves up unwanted ads
Does your Chrome browser seem a little “off”, but you can’t figure out why? Maybe it’s eFast.
Here’s another reason to slow down when installing software, especially free software. A new Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) disguised as the Google Chrome browser is sneaking onto users computers bundled with legitimate software, hidden deep within the ‘Custom’ or ‘Advanced’

The key point in selecting a diode depends on whether a MOSFET or IGBT is used in a full bridge configuration.
When using MOSFETs for full bridge
→ High Switching frequency
→ Best to select diodes with focus on trr
List of products with focus on trr
When using IGBTs for full bridge
→ Low Switching frequency
→ Achieves higher efficiency with focus on VF rather than trr
List of products with focus on VF
PFC (Power Factor Correction) circuit suppresses generation of harmonic.

I enjoyed making the background for yesterday's card so much, I had another go. Mainly because I saw this inspiration photo on City Crafter Challenge blog:
See those shabby shutters? Just crying out for some Tim Holtz Shabby Shutters Distress ink. See those plates on the wall? They look like mother of pearl buttons to me. So I made a mother of pearl wreath by threading buttons onto baker's twine. The square buttons were rescued from a roller blind that I was replacing. I knew they'd come in for something!
The trend watch challenge at Paper Smooches SPARKS this week is to use STRIPES. Hope my planks count as stripes!
And I had to enter it into Curtain Call Welcome Home challenge (my second entry, but what an inspiration photo!):
And I'm also entering it into CAS-ual Fridays embossing challenge, again my second entry:

In star trek, they don’t need money anymore. The logic for why this is isn’t particular clear, but the main ideas for this are, by the 23rd century they have moved away from money and instead use ‘credits’. These credits are generally based on ‘work’, which people are encouraged to do on the basis of self-advancement not aggrandisement through wealth. One of the other things is that the free market no longer exists. Another aspect of the Star Trek world, is that this all takes place in a federation – a single, political earth and perhaps this is another thing that the creators thought could conceivably allow a system for removing money. The predictions made in Star Trek don’t really go much further than this, but there are interesting speculations on how the federation could conceivably move away from money.
Ok, so this isn’t the most specific of models for the future. But it does expose a few interesting things about where we are now and how they could change. Firstly, we are currently dependent on the strength of currencies (at present this is principally the dollar) and the performance of the markets to dictate value. Second, we are still at a level where national economies compete with each other. And finally, today, people generally accumulate wealth in a manner that isn’t necessarily proportional to how much they physically ‘work’.
To understand what could happen to money in the future, it is interesting to see how both money and the idea of ‘value’ have evolved. Roughly, it went like this barter, stone tablets, metal coins (and paper money), the gold standard, the dollar.
Bartering
To begin with, people bartered, exchanging what they produced and made for the other things they needed. As this happened more, commodities started to arise. These items were used by almost everyone, such as salt, spices, tobacco or tea. These had slightly higher values that could be measured but still had issues surrounding their weight and perishability.
Use of coins and paper money
This led to the use of money when, from around 700BC, metal coins started to appear. This was because metal was relatively available and didn’t perish. Each coin was made to represent a certain value and enabled people to compare the different costs of the items they wanted. And, as more and more people started to use them, they began to be adopted by cities and countries started to adopt them as a means of currency.
With coins, came the first really global currency. From the 17th – 18th centuries, the famous ‘pieces of eight’ or Spanish dollars, were used in trading throughout the Americas, Asia and Europe. The spread of the Spanish dollar was enabled both by Spain’s dominance ofthe world stage and also the quality and purity of the silver used to form the coin meant it held its value well. However, in parallel with coins, paper money was also being used in some countries. For example, paper money is thought to have originated in the Tang Dynasty in China in 700AD, however, the most circulated and recognised form originated in 1100 AD in the Song Dynasty. These early notes were effectively promises to pay the bearer in coins.
An example of a Song Dynasty ‘Jiaozi’, the world’s earliest paper money.[2]
Money and gold.
The thing is, as paper money become more popular – the notes themselves became the markers of value. Less and less they were exchanged and more and more they became valuable in their own right. But this value had to represent something. To begin with, it made the most sense to tie this to the most valuable commodity – gold, or sometimes silver. From the 18th century onward, coinciding with British imperial rule, representative money was backed by a government or bank promise to exchange it for a certain amount of silver or gold. This meant governments and banks used the ‘gold standard’ as a measure of value. This lasted until the early 20th century where the system used for the international gold standard collapsed during World War I. Then, post World War I, the British pound, or the Pound Sterling, was once guaranteed to be redeemable for a pound of sterling silver. [3] This system was used for the majority of most financial systems around the world, where most countries took the value of their representative money from the gold standard and this lasted until around 1944.
Representative money
After 1944, ‘commodity money’ changed to ‘representative’ money. Put simply, this change meant money itself, no longer had to be linked to a store of value like gold. This change occurred shortly after World War II, when the ‘Breton Woods’ system was developed to rebuild the international economy. This system of value management established a series of rules and financial relations between the world’s major industrial powers.[4] In simple terms, it meant that each country maintained an exchange rate for its currency that was tied to the US dollar. In 1971, this led to the removal of the gold standard when the US terminated the convertibility of the US dollar to gold, establishing something known as a ‘fiat currency’. ‘Fiat’ is the Latin for ‘let it be done’ and ‘fiat money’ is different to representative money because the value is given by a government. This means that ‘legal tender’ laws can be enforced by a state and the refusal of legal tender, in favour or some other form of payment is technically illegal.[5]
Roughly, this is where we are today. Governments now assign values to currencies and they do this mostly by taking the value from the dollar which is generally held to be the global reserve currency. Although there have been challengers to the dollar as the worlds most traded currency (the Japanese Yen and the Euro in recent times), it has remained as the de facto world currency. In 2012, 61.1% of official foreign exchange reserves were held in dollars, compared to 24.3% in Euros, 4% in Pound Sterling and 4.1% in Japanese Yen. Although, it is worth noting, currency controls are currently in place for both the Chinese RMB and the Indian Rupee.
So what for the future?
So this takes up to where we are now. What does this mean for where we could be in thirty years time? Could the Chinese Remnimbi be the dominant reserve currency, could bitcoin represent a new ‘virtual’ value banked through distributed servers or could 3d printing and new measures of work lead to a ‘star trek’ style global economy (stick with me on that one…)?
What will be the dominant currency in 30 years time?
At discussed, the dollar is currently the most commonly held reserve currency. As a result, the US economy receives economic benefits from having ‘reserve currency status.’ This means the US can run slightly higher trade deficits and its economy generally benefits from the amount of dollars being bought by other countries. However, how long is this likely to last? The growth of the Chinese and Indian economies could see the development of other currencies that could be increasingly traded. But, for both countries to do this, a lot needs to happen.
Currently the Chinese economy benefits internally from having currency restrictions. This means it is (relatively) easy for the Chinese government to control capital flows and interest rates. This also means the economy can benefit from setting low interest rates for foreign businesses and cheap capital which drives growth. As China still requires a high level of economic growth for both industrial growth and internal stability, it is likely that for at least the next 10 years, it will keep its current currency restrictions. However, later on, probably in the next 10-20 years, as the Chinese economy starts to slow, it will become more in the national interest to trade the remnimbi globally to accrue the economic benefits of a traded currency. This is also the case for India, where most of these issues also hold true. However, what may become key as we move further out into the future, is the bankability of the institutions in each of these countries. One of the main reasons the dollar is such a trusted currency, is because of the resilience and the associated degree of trust in the US Treasury. For investors to hold such a degree of trust in the RMB and the Rupee, significant developments would be needed in the accountability and overall trust in both Chinese and Indian institutions. From today’s viewpoint, India probably has the edge in making such strides despite current perceptions of corruption, due to its liberal democracy and attitude to the free market. This is something that the Chinese Communist Part, has a long way to go in embracing and a critical uncertainty for the long term viability of the Chinese economy.
But, the increased significance of China, India and other strong economies does not stop the role of the dollar being debated, especially in the light of the 2008 financial crisis. For example, since 2009, various possible alternatives to the current system have been suggested that include.
- Diversifying the list of currencies used as reserves and using agreed measures to promote major regional financial centres.
- The development of a supra-national reserve currency issued by international financial institutions.
- The use of the International Monetary Funds special drawing rights (a currency basket that comprises dollars, euros, yen and sterling) could be used a super-sovereign reserve currency.
- A petro-currency, backed oil reserves in oil producing countries.
These ideas represent a range of alternatives, some perhaps with a greater degree of political bias than others. But what’s interesting is how they illustrate how the idea is being debated and how a supra-national or super-sovereign alternative to a single national currency is becoming more debated. Given the continued growth and significance of the global market this could be an increasingly significant trend, which could also drive the development of virtual currencies.
Virtual currencies.
If alternatives to the dollar are being debated, if globally we are starting to seek new ‘bench marks’ for value, could this lead to the development of a new currency being created? Due to the national advantage this creates, could it be possible that this is no longer based on a single, national currency? This sounds outlandish, but with the development of on-line currencies, could value be tied to something that is no longer based on the performance of a single state? For example, take Bitcoin. For those who don’t know what Bitcoin is, it’s an online currency that has no central bank and solely relies on an internet-based peer-to-peer network. At present, Bitcoin is the most widely used alternative currency and as of March 2013, the monetary base of bitcoin is valued at over $800 million. [6]
A virtual currency could have significant impact for how we use money in the future. Perhaps it favours moving away from paper money and coins completely. Perhaps it challenges the notion of ‘legal tender’. It doesn’t quite get us to the ‘star trek’ future yet, but it is an important step. But, if you take this trend and compare it to the development of 3d printing, that’s where things start to get really interesting.
3d printing, money and value.
Forgive me, like bitcoin, I’m sure 3d Printing, is something that everyone, everywhere has heard of. But, for anyone who hasn’t, 3d printing, or additive manufacturing as its known technically, has the ability to revolutionise manufacturing.[7] Although, this is by no means a given for the future, it could lead some interesting implications for what we need money for and what we value.
3d Printing systems, such as this will be increasingly common over the next 10-20 years.
In the next 20 years, 3d printing has the potential to revolutionise consumption. Instead of needing people to make objects a lot of material requirements could be met by ‘simple’ home based units. Imagine a single station that produces your clothes, tools and utensils. Imagine another in your kitchen that produces synthetic protein and makes food to order. You could even have another in your bathroom dispensing all of your immunological needs, linked to an internet-based disease trackers that tell you what diseases are circulating.[8] In this world, what would you actually be paying for? You would most probably undertake virtual transactions and pay for access to particular licenses/blue prints/versions. For this, you would go to particular vendors that guarantee access to the latest and/or the best ideas. At the same time, a lot of the ‘basic’ items you require could probably be made without paying for blue-prints. Open source, free to access assembly codes for things like shoes, plates, even furniture would be available. This would mean you could produce what you need for the cost of the substrate (and of course, the initial cost of the 3d printer).
This creates the image of interesting future, but what does it mean for money? How ideas/licenses are purchased is likely to be similar to how apps, music and books are purchased today – mostly through on-line transactions and through a huge virtual market place. In such an environment would a virtual currency be even more likely? Something like bitcoin will probably exist but with accountability to some kind of authority. The question is, would this be national, global or virtual? And then, if we go back to what money was initially made to do, what does it mean? If people just need money to pay for certain things and everything else is free, where does value reside?
Could this be a stepping stone to the ‘Star trek’ future? Could this be the first development of ‘credits’? Even more, in this future, ideas are even more valuable. Could people start to offer their time as a means to get high value credits? Could people do the work they require (either participating in ideas-generation sessions, creative work, or clinical trials (and yes, please note, I am currently available for all three!)) for shorter and shorter times. Or could higher credits be earned for more unpleasant tasks? What would this mean for how people earn their wealth today – presently it is estimated that in 2012, the world’s 100 richest people earned $240 Bn.[9]
The Star Trek future of money
The idea of money of what money is has come a long way and meant different things at different times in history. The idea posited in Star Trek, that we might not need it in the future, may not be as crazy as it sounds – essentially it all depends on what we value. In the future, should manufacturing change and become localised and money move to a more virtual form, we may see people being able to sell their time with greater and greater efficiency, which could benefit them and their quality of life and also challenge current grossly unbalanced income differentials.
Perhaps increasingly, the big question will be – What do people value? Could we be moving to a world, where people place greater importance on ‘time’ and self-advancement rather than the pursuit of wealth? Technology could increasingly make this possible and the values we start to hold dear could be more and more based around our notion of ‘self’ and how we wish to live. Perhaps we’re already there – debates around ‘gross domestic happiness’ and the pursuit of a balanced life are certainly more common today than they were five years ago. How long then till we can do without money? Will we see a new system of value arising in the next 30 years? Well if you consider the increasing importance of happiness metrics to policy formation, in Western countries, it could be sooner than that…

Imagine going for days without brushing your teeth, combing your hair, changing your socks or taking a shower. Or having your period with no sanitary products and instead relying on crumpled newspaper or old food wrappers.
That’s everyday life for many of San Francisco’s homeless people, but one very energetic 29-year-old is working to change it. She’s Meghan Freebeck, founder and chief executive officer of Simply the Basics. the latest example of a woman with a good idea and great follow-through making a difference in the lives of those on our city’s streets.

When a platform is initially powered or a hard reset performed, the Initial Program Loader (IPL) is started. The IPL is a very small program which retrieves and starts the full boot loader. If the IPL is unsuccessful it will attempt an XModem transfer using the primary serial port. The IPL is not a boot loader, the image it loads can only be retrived from the flash it was loaded from, it takes no user input, produces no output and configures no peripherals.
The IPL retrives ABLE and passwes execution to it. ABLE is constructed using a small core and numerous modules. Each module represents a specific set of functionality and may provide additional functionality to other modules. Each component module is loaded in turn according to a priority. The modules command may be used to examine the currently loaded modules and their priorities.
The last module loaded is the ABLE shell which will present the user with a command line interface.
ABLE is interacted with using a textural Command Line Interface. This interface is most commonly presented on a serial port but may be on a video console or via the network.
ABLE has a flexible console system for its input and output
which can be configured to meet most requirements. The console
system is controlled with console command and the
console.read and
console.write parameters.
Details on using the console system can be found in Chapter 5, ABLE Console
The default console operation is to use all suitable input and output devices available.
On the EB2410ITX both the first serial port and the video display will be used for output and the serial port and USB keyboard for input.
Example 2.1. Display after starting ABLE on EB2410ITX
This example shows the typical default output shown when ABLE is started.

Unless the boot parameters are altered from their default settings the automatic boot process will commence.
