With 2.299 metres above sea level, the Hochiss is the highest mountain of the Rofan, which is part of the Brandenberg Alps. Located in the state of Tyrol, Austria, the Hochiss is made up of main dolomite and Plattenkalk. It is popular for hiking and climbing in summer and ski touring and snowshoeing in winter. Its name derives from the dialectal word “Iss(e)” which stands for mountain pasture. Combined with the high altitude it got the name “Hochiss” which means “High mountain pasture” in the Tyrolean dialect. As the Hochiss is easy to reach there is no information about its first ascent. Nearby peaks are the Streichkopf, the Spieljoch and the Seekarlspitze. As there is a cable car from the valley to the Erfurter hut, it can get quite crowded on weekends. At least at the Adlerhorst, which is viewing platform not far away from the summit station.

Sauber has unveiled its 2014 challenger, the C33, with the team’s Chief Designer Eric Gandelin saying a key element in the design process has been to build a car that can be adapted throughout the upcoming season.
Revealed in an online launch, the new car, which will once again feature Ferrari power, sports a nosecone solution similar to that seen on the McLaren MP4/29 and in the early images of the new Williams machine. The C33, which will be raced by Adrian Sutil and Esteban Gutierrez, retains last year’s grey livery .
With teams facing radically altered technical regulations, Gandelin said that development will be a key issue and that the C33 reflects this concern.
“The path we have followed with the design of the Sauber C33-Ferrari allows us maximum flexibility, so that we can react quickly,” he explained. “It is also clear that reliability will be an important factor in the first few races in particular. So this is an area which we have given very high priority.
“The radical changes to the technical regulations for 2014 mean that it’s even harder than usual to make predictions for the new season,” he added. “We know what kind of package we’ve put together here, but it is difficult to foresee what shape our rivals are in. The earliest opportunity to gain an impression of where the teams are in relation to one another will come during testing.”
Team Principal Monisha Kaltenborn added that although the team ended 2013 strongly, following a troubled first half of the season, this year’s regulations mean that there is no guarantee of continued success.
“We have put a very challenging year behind us,” said Kaltenborn. “The first half of 2013 in particular was difficult for us, but the second half saw us making significant strides.
“Due to the radical changes in the technical regulations, predictions are simply impossible to make at this stage. Even more so than in previous years, any impression of how the teams stand against each other will only emerge once winter testing has been completed. That is also when we will announce our goals for the 2014 season.”
It will be an interesting battle between the team’s driver pairing, with Sutil swapping seats with Force India-bound Nico Hulkenberg and Gutierrez looking to establish himself after a mixed 2013 saw him take points just once – with an impressive seventh place at the Japanese Grand Prix.
“After six good years in the same team, it was time for me to look for a new challenge,” said Sutil. “I’m determined to have a successful future with the Sauber F1 Team and will do my bit to ensure that. In recent years the team has repeatedly demonstrated its potential, not least in the second half of the last season.”
For 22-year-old Gutierrez, meanwhile, this could be a make-or-break year. He will be expected to match Sutil for the duration of the season, picking up points where he could not last year and assisting his team in what will be a tight battle across the grid. However, the Mexican is confident that he can deliver.
“Last season I had a steep learning curve,” he said. ” I learned a great deal and I feel ready for the next step. The 2014 season will be a huge challenge on the technical front, which makes it all the more important to know the people you work with well. I will do everything I can to improve further and to support the team with all the resources I have.”

Brannoc was a smith, a master of his time, an artist who created intricate and impressive jewelry and metal-works. Although he made art, not weapons, his pieces were highly regarded, even by the ruling giants. But when he was summoned by the giants to their halls, and ordered to leave his family to work on jewelry for the rulers - he refused. He was forced to flee the giant realm. When he returned home, he found his house destroyed, his wife slain and his daughter missing.
Enraged, he rebuilt his furnace and began building weapons to use against the giants. Other outcasts joined him to form a resistance but they were soon hunted down by Skanen and giants.
It was during this period of fleeing, hiding and foreging for material to make weapons, that he came to Ym and met with Moon, Here with the help of Ymian alchemists he created his most powerful achievement, the "Giantsbane", an explosive powder that could be used to build weapons of unprecedented destructive power.
These weapons decided the war against the giants, although they did cost him the love of his daughter. For his service in the war, he was chosen to become a Skylord. His history as a smith affiliated him with the power of Fire.
After his elevation to Skylord, Brannoc did not submit to celebrating and squabbling as others did. Instead, he immediately delved deep into the secrets of the Forge, trying to find a way to revive Meanen, his wife. He quickly became the most proficient and powerful of the Skylords and was named Master of the Forge, Leader of the Skylords by the gods. Already however, he felt that the gods would never help him with his quest and this title was just a bone they had thrown to him.
Fall from the Forge Edit
With his ultimate wish denied, Brannoc grew more and more aware of the passive and weak nature of the gods. He could not stand their idling and watching, and it seemed all they could give him were shrouded looks and denial. Although he had seen them fight on the field, he doubted their abilities beyond that. He yearned for the power of true creation, the power he believed the gods possessed and were denying him. Little did he know that the gods were as powerless as he was. It was whilst searching for his own ways to revive Meanen, delving deep into the arts of necromancy, that he first encountered the whispers that gave him the Twilight curse...
Long did he hesitate, but the long generations of neglect finally brought him to weave the curse onto the gods. He demanded the secret of creation in return for curing the affliction, but the gods fled, escaping down onto the earth, where they tried to cleanse themselves in the Sunbridge Shrine.

I’m not sure I can call them shenanigans at this stage in my life since it didn’t involve wackiness or enough alcohol to lead to my stripping naked in public. Not that I’ve ever done that, but you know. Shenanigans.
My birthday celebrations on Friday revolved around two of my favorite things: food and museums (but not museum food, which often leaves a lot to be desired).
I went out the day before and picked up bagels from A&S bagels in Franklin Square, NY, along with plain Philadelphia cream cheese, and Nova Scotia lox. My lovely husband went to get fresh Starbucks decaf coffee for me because I don’t have any at home. He also made our bagels sandwiches for me.
Coffee, even decaf, is a treat for me, so I don’t stock it up. Otherwise, I would drink it. All of it. Every last drop. After breakfast, we hopped the train to NYC and took a subway uptown to W. 83rd Street. From the west side of Central Park, we walked through snow covered hills. I was so excited!
Walking through Central Parking
The beauty of Central Park in winter with all of nature covered in snow is breathtaking.
Central Park, upper west side
Erroneously, we headed South for a bit and had to backtrack. Without the help of GPS in my phone, that could have been a lot worse than it was. We didn’t really lose much time. Before long, we were at my favorite museum in NYC: The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
The El Greco exhibit was running through February 1st, and it was a great excuse to go back. What we noted about his works is that El Greco paid a great deal of attention to a figure’s face, hands, and feet, but other details were not so refined. Here is a snap of one of my faves that was on display:
El Greco painting
We also saw an exhibit called Death Becomes Her about women’s mourning garb through the 18th and 19th centuries. As you descended down these stairs, classical music could be heard piping up through and up from the exhibit in the basement, giving me chills and causing intense emotions to arise and make me feel like crying.
Around the perimeter of the room, quotes from women about mourning were being projected onto the walls. This one made me laugh out loud. It disrupted the mood a bit, but I could not help myself – especially the end bit – “or what it is”. I also took a few photos of some of the lovelier mourning gowns.
I could take a thousand pictures of all the wonderful items in the museum that left an impression on me, but I will leave you with these three – a sculpture by Degas that was even more wonderful to see in person and two works by Tiffany.
The cool thing about the Degas sculpture is that her blue ribbon was made of satin and the skirt was made of a pleated mesh metallic-type material. The touch of fabric on the metal sculpture gave the girl a sense of life about her, as if she was going to hop off the stand and start dancing. The Tiffany stained glass photo on the right was actually a fountain with running water right behind the plants. A beautiful little oasis.
After The Met, we took the subway downtown to the Union Square area for lunch at ABC Cocina, one of a number of restaurants in NYC by Michelin chef Jean-George Vongerichten. I really wanted to go to ABC Kitchen, a sister restaurant of his that runs directly behind ABC Cocina behind a glass wall. But I could not get a reservation until 2:30pm so I decided to book my birthday lunch for Cocina instead.
Check out the site for pictures to the restaurant. I ❤ the decor, that the kitchen was open and part of the floor plan adjacent to the bar, and the hunky bartender! I ordered a spiced cider toddy that was delightful, scrumptious, and strong.
We ordered gooey ham and cheesy bites (yes, that was actually the description on the menu), sweet potato empanadas, a meat board, and crispy fish tacos. My favorite were the tacos and the ham and cheesy bites. I would go back, but next time I’m hoping to make it to ABC Kitchen, which serves non-GMO, antibiotic free foods.
The next museum we visited was The Rubin Museum of Art, a museum dedicated to Himalayan/Asian art. Two exhibits were of interest: an exhibit of Francesco Clemente, an Italian painter and sculptor, of his paintings and sculpture with Indian influences; and an exhibit called The All-Knowing Buddha, which displayed 54 panels that illustrate how to meditate. Also at this museum was a Tibetan Temple room, replete with ornate decorations, incense, and chanting monks.
Of course, no birthday celebration would be complete without some celebratory dessert. For me, that means ice cream! We were only a few blocks away from the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop (Yes, it’s really called that) in Sheridan Square, so that is where we went.
Mark and I ordered two versions of the same ice cream gobbler: mine was pumpkin and his was apple.
But they were both delicious! By the time we were done, we were full and exhausted, so we headed back home to start rewatching the Babylon 5 sci-fi series that was my favorite series at one time.
I had a great day in a great city with a wonderful man eating fantastic food and seeing inspirational artwork. I grinned like a madwoman all day long.
Not that I’m complaining. 😀

Select committee appearances are like men and buses – as the saying goes, you go for ages without one and then they all come along at once.
So it was for the IMA last week with two appearances in front of parliamentary committees. The first, the work and pensions committee to talk about pension scheme governance and the second, the business, innovations and skills committee to talk about women in the workplace.
First, pension scheme governance and an inquiry which had been postponed from last year. No one can argue that pensions are becoming increasingly important. Given this rise in importance, the focus on pension scheme governance should be an equal to, if not higher than, that given to investment processes and outcomes, especially given the shift to DC pensions and the associated transfer of risk to the individual. Investment processes can be different for different people but governance should apply across all types of scheme no matter what.
IMA associate director Jonathan Lipkin told the select committee that it is possible to put clear processes in place so that you know who is accountable and responsible, what the objectives are and how they have delivered against their objectives. All of this should, of course, be documented.
These are the practical issues which individuals want to see addressed and allows DC schemes to be delivered with an auditable governance trail for employers and scheme members. Taking your starting point as the interests of the individuals whose money you are investing and whose future you are trying to secure ought to be a given.
And of course, tied into this is the whole issue of charges. While it is important for individuals to know what they are paying, it is equally, if not more, important to convey what is being paid for. The IMA and others in the pensions industry are focusing much more on this and how the industry communicates with employers and consumers about what they are paying for and why.
There is a lot to think about, but it is in all of our interests that we get this right and individuals regain their faith in pension saving.
On to the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee session on women in the workplace. The IMA’s interest in this is from the perspective of wanting to see well-run companies in which money can be invested.
Companies with diverse boards which are the best fit for a company are an attractive investment. Although the committee’s inquiry was limited to women in the workplace that’s not to say that gender balance alone is enough in terms of ensuring board diversity. It goes further than this as boards require a wide range of skills and experience. Diverse boards may also be more open to new ideas and to challenging what could be termed “group-think”.
It is staggering that in the 21stcentury we are still having conversations about needing more diverse boards and debating the role of women in the workplace. That said, we are opposed to quotas for women on boards. Appointments should be on merit and not to fill quotas.
The experience in Norway when quotas were introduced was that the women in question became known as the “golden skirts”. Not helpful and not clever.

Cherry pie - cherry type question
This year, I've decided to really go outside of the box and make a cherry pie for Thanksgiving. I have a 9" crust and one 21oz can of pie-ready cherries. My dilemma, only realized after returning home: The pie needs 2 cans worth of cherries. Now, I also have a big jar of Maraschino cherries, but they're just in water or something, not the goop that the cans have.
My question: can I put a can's worth of the cocktail cherries into the pie, making it a 50/50 canned/Maraschino mix? Will that be disastrous? Do I need to push through the lazy to go buy another can? Is this even an issue?
Thank you very very much for your wisdom. Sorry if this is a bit of a ridiculous question :)

The Father Of All Things – A Marine, His Son And The Legacy Of Vietnam, by Tom Bissell
(Pantheon Books, 2007; 432 pp., $25 – ISBN 9780375422652)
This book is the author’s “emotional facts of the Vietnam War,” and the war’s impact on his father, America and Viet-Nam. His father, John Bissell, a former Marine major, fought in Viet-Nam during the mid-1960s. The narrative is a blend of a family memoir, Viet-Nam travelogue and researched historical account of the war.
In the first section, the author alternates between the final phase of the Viet-Nam war and a reconstruction of his family life in Escanaba, Michigan, during the 1970s. The author was born in 1974, seven years after his father resigned from the Marine Corps.
The reader learns what it was like to grow up with a gruff, and also tender, combat veteran father who would wake his children in the night when his memories were too painful. The father the author “grew up with was no hero… He was too wounded in the head, too endlessly and terribly sad. Too funny, too explosive, too confusing.”
The second section, the major portion of the book, is when the father and son journey to Viet-Nam. As they travel the country and talk to the Vietnamese, the reader learns of war as the father experienced it, their visit to the site of his near-fatal wounding and how the war changed him and many of his generation.
In the final section, “The Children of the War Speak,” the author provides candid statements by the children of American and Vietnamese veterans and the war’s legacies for them and their families. He leaves us with these words: “What any war’s igniters rarely admit are the small, terrible truths that have held firm for every war fought, no matter how necessary or avoidable: this will be horrible, and whatever happens will scar us for decades to come… War is appetitive. It devours goodwill, landscape, cultures, mothers and fathers — before finally forcing us, the orphans, to pick up the pieces.”

The day is finally upon us. A powerful robot is out there. It can't be bargained with, can't be reasoned with, it doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear. It absolutely will not stop, ever… until your knives are sharp. Dull edges will be terminated. We can only hope it has the capacity to learn the value of human life.
Like the Cyberdyne Systems Model 101, the technology behind the KnifeRobot was born in the heart of Silicon Valley, California. Fortunately, unlike the Terminator, this machine is not designed to kill — it's a helpful little robot. In fact, it's claimed to be the world's first patented automatic knife sharpening technology.
The KnifeRobot uses a complex array of sensors, motors, and abrasive belts to produce a razor-sharp edge in about 5 minutes (severely worn edges may take longer). It is said to work on fixed blades, folding knives, and even straight razors. Here's a breakdown of how it works, based on info from the company's IndieGoGo page:
See below for a scaled-up functional prototype of the machine in action.
The belts inside the KnifeRobot are said to last for about 100 sharpenings, and replacements can be purchased on Amazon for about $10. There are two versions of this machine: a portable consumer version (pictured here) suitable for the home or workshop, and a professional-grade version that can be built into a kitchen countertop. The professional built-in knife sharpener is designed for chefs, and will automatically sharpen knives based on how frequently they're used.
KnifeRobot hasn't hit full production yet, but the company has developed working prototypes, as well as the portable model design seen here. It is crowdfunding through IndieGoGo to head into production during mid-2017. For more info on this interesting new tech, check out KnifeRobot.com (this currently redirects to the IndieGoGo campaign). Backers of the campaign can pre-order a portable KnifeRobot for $299 with expected delivery in October 2017; the retail MSRP is expected to be $700. The built-in professional model will set you back $5000.

Currently, when you copy a package tracking number and paste it into Google Search, Google is smart enough to recognize the carrier and provide you with a shortcut to their site that will reveal detailed tracking information. Soon, if Google has its way, a simple Google Search of the tracking number will give it all to you without the external redirect.
Through the Google Webmaster Central blog today, Google asked for package carriers to sign-up for a program that would bring detailed tracking information right to Search.
You can see how this might look in the image at the top of the post, where Google’s example shows the day an item shipped, stops along the way, if it’s out for delivery, and when it has been flagged as delivered. It could also provide you with contact information, in case you have questions about your shipment.
It looks great, we just now need package carriers to get on board. Will they? I’m not sure the incentive for Fedex or UPS to bow to Google and keep you away from their own site, where they can talk you into shipping things, buying premium memberships, etc. So who knows if this will happen on any meaningful level or if the only companies involved are smaller carriers.

(Updated April 17 with comments from Chesapeake)
Last November I took a look at a land dispute between and that was set to go to trial. Now the judgement is in. Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange in the U.S. Court for the Western District of Oklahoma ruled that Chesapeake and its former CEO Aubrey McClendon owes BP $22 million.
In a nutshell: BP in 2008 paid Chesapeake $1.75 billion for 90,000 acres in the Arkoma Basin Woodford shale of Oklahoma. Turned out Chesapeake had problems with the titles on about 7% of that land -- or about $116 million worth. After adjustments, BP in 2009 asked Chesapeake (in tandem with Chesapeake Investments, a limited partnership owned by former CEO Aubrey McClendon) to fork over $81 million to even up the accounts. Chesapeake only paid $59 million, then claimed that BP CFO Tim Harrington agreed to forego payment on the remaining $22 million.
BP said that was bunk, and the dispute went to arbitration, where a panel decided that Chesapeake should pay about $11 million.
Chesapeake still refused. So BP, more for the principle of the matter than the dollar value, took the case to court.
Asked about the case, BP gave this statement:
In its judgment, the Court found that Chesapeake failed to honor its obligation to pay BP for agreed title defects related to leaseholds and producing natural gas properties in the Arkoma Basin Woodford Shale play.
The Court rejected Chesapeake's defense that BP had waived its right to receive payment of the $22.3 million because of a technicality.
BP is looking forward to payment of the judgment by Chesapeake and final closure of this dispute after several years of protracted litigation.
Why did Chesapeake insist on fighting so hard over a relatively open-and-shut land issue?
Well to make sense of that you've got to consider just how much acreage Chesapeake holds out there, and how much of it the company has had to sell in recent months to make ends meet -- more than $10 billion worth in recent years, with intentions of selling billions more.
Investors in Chesapeake (and buyers of its acreage) ought to keep in mind the possibility that, as with BP, 5% or so of the land they buy will have title problems. It's a problem that can really add up. Chesapeake may have been loathe to see BP set a precedent here that could carry implications for Chesapeake's other land sales.
Not that it's the first time Chesapeake has scrapped over land deals. In 2011 McClendon faced a lawsuit from Harold Hamm, the billionaire CEO of Continental Resources, which had sold Chesapeake 10,000 acres in Michigan only to have McClendon try to get out of the deal after market conditions changed. Hamm prevailed and a court order forced Chesapeake to make good on its contract.
What's more, with former CEO McClendon personally on the hook for some undisclosed portion of the $22 million through his Chesapeake Investments partnership, he had a personal incentive to direct company attorneys to fight the case.
A spokesman for Chesapeake Energy didn't have any direct comment on this case, instead emphasizing Chesapeake's victory last week in a bigger case -- a class action brought against Chesapeake, McClendon and other executives over their failure to disclose particular details of asset sales as well as McClendon's $1.5 billion in personal loans extended by Chesapeake lenders to finance McClendon's personal stakes in Chesapeake wells.
Investors saw McClendon's secret arrangement as a clear conflict of interest, but Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange (the same judge who presided over the BP case) determined in her ruling that the plaintiffs had not presented any evidence to show McClendon knew that not disclosing his personal loans would somehow mislead investors.
That case had been initially brought by the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board.

She started her career at Microsoft as a presenter on the Microsoft Big Day team, about two decades ago. More recently, at Pure Storage, she found her true calling in building teams, scaling an engine, and creating stellar marketing campaigns. She enjoys driving big pipeline goals from a small town in Northwest Wisconsin situated two hours from the nearest airport.
Meet Lesley Rubin, our new demand gen leader for the Americas. We’re excited to welcome Lesley to Starburst, one of the fastest growing start-ups in the data and analytics space that's building a new paradigm for modern analytics. Starburst’s award winning SQL-based MPP query engine is driving tangible business outcomes at the world’s leading organizations through faster, better, and smarter decision-making.
At Starburst, Lesley is already on her way to transform, lead, and drive the sales pipeline in close collaboration with the sales organization through data-driven strategies. She’s happy working at the intersection of marketing and science, and likes riding the wave both at work and outside. Whether it’s wakesurfing, traveling or making the most out of summer nights and weekends, Lesley loves spending time with her husband, Jim, two sons, Nick and Finn, and two dogs, Ida and Leo.
Below are excerpts from a Q&A with Lesley. Enjoy!
Chitra: We’re thrilled to have you onboard, Lesley. Welcome! Why did you decide to join Starburst?
Lesley: I’m thrilled to be here! Gosh, where do I start? First and foremost, the Starburst solution is a true game changer. It can reduce time to insights and get data into the hands of decision makers instantly. I’m excited to be part of a team that is bringing this cutting edge technology to market. Next, culture and team are also super important to me. The values are real and I think this team walks the walk when it comes to ownership, humility, grit, and passion for building.
Chitra: From Microsoft to VMware and from Pure Storage to Collibra, you bring a wealth of industry experience. How do you plan to leverage that at Starburst?
Lesley: Microsoft gave me a great foundation in everything marketing from demand generation, operating models, and channel marketing to measuring metrics, reporting, and beyond and I wouldn’t trade that experience for the world.
Joining Pure, for me, unlocked a passion for building along with lending me an opportunity to grow as a marketer and leader. We were a very data driven team, and I had the opportunity to work with the executive team and leadership teams across the organization. I was able to stretch outside of my comfort zone, take on some big challenges, and learn the nuances of It marketing analytics, measurement, campaign insights, and overall operating models.
I’m really excited to bring those lessons from Microsoft and hustle from Pure over at Starburst.
Chitra: You say Microsoft was your learning ground. That’s so cool. What were some of your biggest learnings there?
Lesley: A lot of great things came from my 11 years at Microsoft, including some life long friendships. Some of my biggest learnings from Microsoft came from the development opportunities they provided. I’m passionate about career development and mentoring, much of that was instilled in me at Microsoft. The company heavily invested in developing individuals and teams and I carry that with me today.
Chitra: In your view, what are the top three qualities of a good leader? What’s your leadership style like?
Lesley: I think three top qualities in a good leader are integrity, trust, and empowerment. I would describe myself as open, honest, and collaborative. I also like to say I hire smart people to do big things and l like to enable them to do those big things.
Chitra: At Starburst, we deeply care about the values of authenticity, humility, grit, meritocracy, and ownership. Which of these resonates the most with you?
Lesley: I read the values prior to interviewing and they are one of the reasons I’m here. All of the values resonate with me. Ownership, grit, and humility really stand out for me personally. I think we learn as much from our mistakes as we do from our successes. Having two ‘almost’ teenage sons teaches you about humility quickly. At the end of the day, we are one team working together to enable our customers with faster time to insights.
Chitra: Can you talk to us a little bit about your journey? What were some of the challenges you faced, and how did you navigate them?
Lesley: I’ve spent most of my career in tech, while living in what I’d call rural Wisconsin. I’ve logged thousands of miles to and from that airport, hotel nights, zoom calls, cell minutes well before there was a pandemic. Living here is important to my family and doing what I love is important to me. Having a good partner in my spouse, an amazing village of family and friends that help when I’m traveling allows me to give it my all when I’m at work.
From a career perspective, while I’m not geographically ‘close,’ I’ve been able to have a pretty successful career. A really great support system, a supportive team and leadership, and clear communication have all been key to my success and sanity.
Chitra: Any final thoughts or words of wisdom that you’d like to share with our All-Star team here?
Lesley: Yes – I’d say communicate early and often, don’t be afraid to fail fast, and have fun along the way!
We, at Starburst, wish Lesley tons of success in her new role. Go Lesley!

On January 30, 2013, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced a proposed rule to provide women with coverage for recommended preventative care, including contraceptives, without charging the beneficiary a co-pay or deductible. A prior proposed rule regarding contraceptive coverage was issued in March 2012, followed by a public comment period. The recently released proposed rule reflects the various feedback and comments submitted by the public to HHS.
In addition to providing women with preventative care, without cost-sharing, the proposed rule also seeks to accommodate religious objections to contraceptive coverage by religious organizations. First, the proposed rules would simplify the criteria defining a “religious employer” so that it follows an Internal Revenue Code definition and primarily includes churches, other houses of worship, and their affiliated organizations. As such, eligible religious organizations, such as religious nonprofit hospitals, may be exempt from providing coverage for contraceptives. In order to be considered an eligible religious organization, the proposed rule requires that an organization must:
- Oppose providing coverage for some or all of any contraceptive services required to be covered under Section 2713 of the PHS Act, on account of religious objections;
- Be organized and operate as a nonprofit entity;
- Hold itself out as a religious organization; and
- Self-certify that it meets these criteria and specify the contraceptive services for which it objects to providing coverage.
If eligible, the religious nonprofit hospital would not have to contract, arrange, pay or refer for any contraceptive services in which the organization has objections to on religious grounds. Meanwhile, participants of the health plan would be afforded contraceptive coverage through separate individual health insurance policies, without cost-sharing.
For eligible nonprofit hospitals that provide insured group plans, the hospital would submit the self-certification to the health insurance issuer and, thereafter, the plan participant would automatically be provided separate contraceptive coverage through an individual market at no additional cost. With respect to nonprofit hospitals that provide self-insured health plans, the hospital would notify the third party administrator, after which, the administrator would work with a health insurance issuer to provide separate contraceptive coverage for the plan participant.
Currently, HHS is seeking public comments on the newly proposed rule. The deadline for submitting comments is April 8, 2013.
As discussed above, a religious nonprofit hospital must be considered eligible in order to fall under the exemptions to providing contraceptive coverage for its plan participants. If you have questions regarding eligibility requirements, need assistance with self-certifying, or have any concerns pertaining to the proposed rule and/or the exemptions, please contact an experienced health care attorney at Wachler & Associates at 248-544-0888.

Jacks Give Back
By Nathan Giese
Being a student-athlete at the Division I level is time consuming. Between practices, workouts, games, travel, classes and homework, it’s hard to find a free minute. That didn’t stop SDSU student-athletes from logging more than 6,200 hours of community service and volunteer work during the 2013-14 academic year throughout the 14 athletic programs.
“Our teams do a really good job making giving back to the community a priority,” said Jennifer Sell, the assistant athletic direction of academics who coordinates activities through the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). “They understand how wonderful the community is in supporting them, so they really want to show that they care about them by giving back.”
Each athletic program at SDSU has at least one SAAC representative, who works with Sell in coordinating different events and getting their teammates to help as well.
One of the most successful programs has been The Summit League Food Fight, where student-athletes collect non-perishable food items and cash donations.
SDSU was won the “Food Fight” the past two years and three times since its inception during the 2008-09 year. Student-athletes take donations at basketball games while interacting with fans and supporters. During last year’s “Food Fight”, SDSU student-athletes collected 25,347.46 pounds of food, which was donated to the Brookings Food Pantry.
The women’s basketball team logged 372.5 hours of volunteer efforts during the 2013-14 campaign, including the “Food Fight.”
“The Food Fight is my favorite one because it’s a competition. You’re competing against other schools and you get to see what they’ve collected,” women’s basketball senior Megan Stuart said. “SDSU does a really good job with the work we do in volunteering and helping in the community.”
All SDSU programs took part in Adopt-a-Family, otherwise known as Project Joy. Project Joy, a favorite among many student-athletes, gives to families that don’t have much around the holiday season. The student-athletes spend time working around campus to earn money for this program, which is used to purchase gifts and other surprises for those without much to put under the tree.
Student-athletes take part in a number of smaller volunteer activities as well, including helping students move into their dorm rooms on move-in weekend in August, speaking at Brookings area schools, helping with the Hobo Day parade, working with Samaritan’s Feet and campus cleanup projects.
Toward the end of every school year, SDSU holds its annual scholarship auction. Each program has their student-athletes help in the setup and cleanup of the even.
Some student-athletes took part in a mission trip to Jamaica this past March, which Zach Zenner, senior on the football team and an Allstate Good Works team nominee, calls his most rewarding experience to date.
“We went down there and helped build two homes and interacted with people,” said Zenner. “We were spreading God’s love through our relations that we were building and our service. Just going somewhere and submersing yourself into a different culture was an incredible experience. I know I was impacted more than I impacted them.”
The SDSU football team accounted for 1694.5 hours of volunteer work this past year, the most of any team. The equestrian squad logged 970 hours while track put in 834.5 hours.
Jackrabbit student-athletes don’t do the work for the glory. Instead, they do it, as men’s basketball sophomore Anders Broman puts it, to make a difference.
“You feel that you’re helping out everyone, not only the athletic programs but you’re also making a difference in the community,” said Broman. “I’m pretty proud to be able to do that.”
Some programs require their student-athletes to do volunteer work. “They make it not feel like a chore,” said Alanna Pegnilly, a junior for the volleyball team. “They make it not nerve-wracking to ask for money.”
Student-athletes also say that the Brookings community makes it easier to do these events. Wagner Larson, a junior on the volleyball team, said, “Especially in Brookings, since we have such a good atmosphere, it’s a good community. I feel like people like to give and when they do that it makes it more fun for us because when they get excited about it then we get excited about it.”
Despite all of the hours already in volunteer efforts, there is an opportunity for more.
“If you have an idea, don’t be afraid to approach the athletic department with it,” Zenner explains. “There are more than 500 of us, and you’re probably going to find at least one team that’s really going to get hold of it and get multiple people to help you.”

In the wake of the death of yet another trainer at SeaWorld, longtime friend to animals and dedicated PETA supporter Bob Barker has contacted Hamilton James-the president and CEO of the Blackstone Group, which acquired SeaWorld last year-to urge him to close all SeaWorld amusement parks. Barker also asks Blackstone to start building seaside sanctuaries and coastal refuges into which to move all the captive cetaceans who are now kept in fury and frustration in tiny concrete tanks that are unable to satisfy any of their natural needs.
Barker points out that SeaWorld’s abysmal record of injuries and deaths of both trainers and animals is not going to improve as long as the amusement park continues to exploit the orcas, dolphins, and other highly social animals, some of whom were violently captured from their ocean homes and families and forced to learn circus-style tricks, which, according to whistleblower tips from trainers, employees “teach” by withholding food and isolating animals who refuse to perform.
The only thing that people learn from visiting a SeaWorld theme park is how miserable life is for the animals who are held there. Left to breathe and drink their own diluted urine and the waste of others in the tank with them, they languish for decades as shadows of their former selves. Many marine mammals develop vision problems from the chlorine and other chemicals that are put into their tanks, while some develop nutritional problems from the diet they are fed. Denied the simple pleasures of jumping in waves or choosing a mate, they face the inescapable noise of tens of thousands of visitors, whose steps actually vibrate through the walls of their tanks all day long, every day.
By taking the necessary steps to release these beautiful animals back in to the wild and replacing them with hugely popular and successful robotic creatures-like those used in the “Walking With the Dinosaurs” exhibit-SeaWorld would teach park visitors much more about these intelligent, complex animals without subjecting them to a lifetime of captivity. Urge SeaWorld to retire its unwilling, miserable, and frustrated marine performers before another human or animal dies, and share this information with everyone you know.
Be a compassionate traveler—from weekend getaways to dream vacations.

Before the twentieth century, personal debt resided on the fringes of the American economy, the province of small-time criminals and struggling merchants. By the end of the century, however, the most profitable corporations and banks in the country lent money to millions of American debtors. How did this happen? The first book to follow the history of personal debt in modern America, Debtor Nation traces the evolution of debt over the course of the twentieth century, following its transformation from fringe to mainstream—thanks to federal policy, financial innovation, and retail competition.
How did banks begin making personal loans to consumers during the Great Depression? Why did the government invent mortgage-backed securities? Why was all consumer credit, not just mortgages, tax deductible until 1986? Who invented the credit card? Examining the intersection of government and business in everyday life, Louis Hyman takes the reader behind the scenes of the institutions that made modern lending possible: the halls of Congress, the boardrooms of multinationals, and the back rooms of loan sharks. America’s newfound indebtedness resulted not from a culture in decline, but from changes in the larger structure of American capitalism that were created, in part, by the choices of the powerful—choices that made lending money to facilitate consumption more profitable than lending to invest in expanded production.
From the origins of car financing to the creation of subprime lending, Debtor Nation presents a nuanced history of consumer credit practices in the United States and shows how little loans became big business.

The answers to your most deepest questions lie within you. Who am I? Why am I here? answers to these questions will come most clearly from within when you are able to access the fountain of love light will and wisdom from within your Soul.
All the wisdom and guidance we need is accessible from within. All we need to do is ask and allow the answers to come from within us. The more open and attuned to our own intuition or the more integrated and at one we are with our true Soul and Source self the easier this becomes especially when our souls and Minds merge as one. A relaxed/meditative state is beneficial for this to occur.
During the process of Divine Awakening and Integration it can be very useful to gain assistance from others until we are capable of trusting and guiding ourselves. When we ‘Trust’ and ‘follow’ our intuition our life flows smoothly in new and exciting directions that serve our highest good and happiness OM x : ).
We ALL have the ‘innate’ ability to receive inner guidance from our Soul and Source. All we have to do is ask and trust our intuition our inner-tuition : ) our inner-self.
When I was unable to find the answers I was looking for in books the only source left was to find the answers for myself and the answers eventually came from within OM x : ). This lead to a great period of self-discovery Divine Awakening and Integration.

If you’re looking to build or renovate in 2021, it’s important that you understand the latest home design trends so that your investment stands firm against the current market. We outline some of the key design elements to consider when undertaking your home design project this year.
The Rise of Muted Colour
Colour palettes that embrace earth tones like soft terracotta, stone hues and metal ores are going to be making a comeback. Grounding palettes like this often work well with light-filled homes or neutral-hued interior walls and have a tactile dryness that reflect the Australian environment, including the bush or desert. Dulux has also named Brave Ground, an earthy beige colour as being their 2021 Colour of the Year.
Hygiene has become a priority this year and it wouldn’t be surprising to see it become much more prominent in our homes. Expect to see things like touchless flushing, automatic washing basins and even infrared sensors. Anything that could potentially reduce touching, is likely to become a trend. This could be done through the use of technology, which will help to rocket the touchless movement even more.
Shapes and Forms that Reference Primitive Minimalism
It’s also expected that there is going to be a rise in caveman aesthetics or rustic minimalism. This is going to reflect the psychological state that comes with experiencing lockdown during coronavirus. Aesthetically this means going back to basics. Mass manufacturing was once celebrated for basic products, but that’s not going to happen in 2021. The rejection of a disposable culture has been replaced with the desire to seek ethically produced products that are artisan-made. More and more people are seeking imperfect pieces that are enduring and robust. Some of the things that you should expect to see include things on an exaggerated scale or furniture which is chunky. Having seating that is deeply patterned and generously proportioned is also likely.
Functional and Adaptable Layouts
It’s safe to say during lockdown that people have realised the importance of having a home that can change and adapt to the times. More and more houses are being created with this in mind as people want to have a multipurpose room that can help them to make the most out of the square footage in their home. You may start to notice more non-permanent walls that can be moved or rooms that can be closed off as needed. Schools and business facilities have been adopting layouts like this for quite some time, but now it is starting to cross over into family homes.
A Focus on Nature
If you have made it through lockdown without having an outdoor area, then you will know how important nature is. Outdoor areas are set to be much more desirable and architects are now reporting a very high demand for designs that connect the indoor space with the outdoors.
In the near future, homes are going to be approaching a more down-to-earth look. Think calming décor that is able to promote balance and wellness. De-cluttered spaces are very helpful, both mentally and physically. Shimmering metallics, such as copper are going to be on the rise. Copper is antimicrobial and therefore going to certainly increase in popularity. Some interior design experts believe that black is going to act as a rival colour to copper in the bathroom and in the kitchen. Neutral colours such as earth tones and simple minerals are going to be making a comeback as well. As mentioned above, this could include the rise of chunky shapes and elemental patterns.
Water efficiency and energy savings are going to influence building designs and the materials that are used in 2021. 40% of heat escapes from the home through the window and double glazing can help to reduce total heat loss by 30%. Building regulations in Australia could well push towards greener building methods as this will facilitate an increased level of energy efficiency while also reducing the total reliance on climate control. At the end of 2019, tough water restrictions came into place and this is going to be on a lot of homeowner’s minds. Taps and showerheads which reduce water consumption are going to be on the rise and it would seem that this is going to have a huge impact on the home market in general.
All of the latest home design trends we have mentioned are expected to have a huge impact on the home design market. It’ll be interesting to see where we go from here, but at the end of the day, it looks like the focus is going to be on sustainability, energy efficiency and anti-bacterial innovations.

Friday, June 26 was a tragic day for our culture, but it was a fantastic day to have the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Christians have resurrection faith that cannot be legislated away by the Supreme Court. Our responsibility to love our neighbor (Matt 22:39) and to seek the welfare of the city (Jer 29:7) where the providence of God has placed us demands that we acknowledge that the Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges is an assault on societal good and human flourishing in our land. The SCOTUS’s decision to redefine marriage is the most significant culturally damning moment in our nation since Roe v. Wade.
As Chief Justice John Roberts noted in his dissent, the decision of the majority rejects the rights of states to uphold the meaning of marriage that has persisted in every culture throughout human history. The result will not be an expansion of the definition of marriage but rather a redefinition of marriage that is so expansive that the only logical boundary is merely that it involve consenting adults. Chief Justice Roberts notes,
Although the majority randomly inserts the adjective “two” in various places, it offers no reason at all why the two-person element of the core definition of marriage may be preserved while the man-woman element may not. Indeed, from the standpoint of history and tradition, a leap from opposite-sex marriage to same-sex marriage is much greater than one from a two-person union to plural unions, which have deep roots in some cultures around the world. If the majority is willing to take the big leap, it is hard to see how it can say no to the shorter one.
Make no mistake; with the legal redefinition of marriage to include same-sex marriage now the law of the land, every church in America will be forced to clarify where it stands. We are no longer discussing hypotheticals, but rather, we are facing realities. Many will capitulate and find that, in an attempt to save their congregations and Christianity itself, they lost it. Nominal Christianity will be a causality of the cultural marginalization of Christians and Christian ethics and to that we should say, “Good riddance.” But, we must be clear to our congregations that ground zero in facing the cultural challenges ahead related to the SCOTUS decision is not the White House, Supreme Court, or the halls of Congress; rather, it is the same place it has always been—the church house. The church is the only institution that Jesus promised, “the gates of hell shall not prevail against” (Matt 16:18).
Shepherds of local churches must lead their congregations toward a cruciform response to this tragic cultural decision. Pastor, do not face this situation with self-pity or mealy-mouthed platitudes; an occasion such as this is reason they call you pastor. Give them the gospel. And by them I mean yourself, your congregation, our friends who are embracing the sin of homosexuality and same-sex marriage, the culture, the politicians, and everyone else too. Be the one person who does not forget that ultimately this situation, and every situation, is to be summed up in Christ and his gospel (Eph 1:10). Giving them the gospel also means unapologetically preaching and teaching a biblical view of marriage, an institution whose existence is for the purpose of reflecting the gospel (Gen 2, Eph 5). Our cultural opponents on this issue are not our enemies; they are our mission field. We will not win them by compromising biblical truth, but neither will we win them by despising them.
Though we should weep that this decision will wreak societal havoc and amount to government sanctioned self-sabotage of its own citizens, there is a sense in which our task as Christians is not one ounce more difficult than it has ever been. We have always been involved in a mission that is beyond our ability. None of us has the power to raise the dead. None of us can heal the sick. None of us can make the blind see. None of us can save the lost. We are but instruments of the Almighty. Jesus is Lord we are not. But, Jesus is Lord and the arc of redemptive history bends toward the one who is both just and the justifier of those who have faith in him (Rom 3:26). If our pastors and churches sound like we are on the losing side of history, then we have lost far more than a Supreme Court decision.
Many discouraged believers will want to respond with bitterness and animosity, and pastors must remind them that those are not fruits of the Spirit. Congregational shepherds must also recognize that the sky-is-falling religious/political charlatan prophets of doom will see this as an entrepreneurial opportunity to capitalize on Christian outrage to build their mailing lists. We must remind our congregations that Christians ought to be the last people to fall prey to doom and gloom hopeless theology because the tomb is still empty and a court decision redefining marriage will not redefine “the marriage supper of the Lamb” (Rev 19:9). Sin, even legally protected sin, does not bring satisfaction. Paul reminds us that if we are faithful to preach the gospel, we will be able to speak to our congregations in the future and say, “And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God” (1 Cor 6:11).
In Justice Anthony Kennedy’s majority opinion, he wrote:
Finally, it must be emphasized that religions, and those who adhere to religious doctrines, may continue to advocate with utmost, sincere conviction that, by divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned. The First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their lives and faiths, and to their own deep aspirations to continue the family structure they have long revered. The same is true of those who oppose same-sex marriage for other reasons.
We should be thankful for this statement but sober about it as well. Essentially, he is saying that they will tolerate us as a strange prophetic minority—for now. We know that this promise may not last. But, if it does not last, we must remind our churches of our brother Paul who stated that his unjust imprisonment “served to advance the gospel” (Phil 1:12), and if we are faithful and the time comes, the same can be true of us. Pastors need to clarify church policies regarding for whom they will and will not perform a wedding ceremony and whom they will allow to use their building for a wedding ceremony. These policies need to be clear, in writing, and congregationally affirmed. Meaningful membership and willingness to do congregational church discipline will be vital as we move ahead. Faithful shepherds will prepare their congregations in advance to respond in a gospel-centered way for the inevitable visit from a same-sex legally married couple. “If the government says its okay, what can we do?” is not a gospel response but neither is “Get out.”
In other words, we must shepherd our congregations to be the church. We must be intentional about things we should have been intentional about all along. Peter wrote to a group of governmentally and culturally persecuted believers he described as “elect exiles” (1 Pet 1:1). They were looked upon with suspicion because of their commitment to Jesus the Christ and accused of hatred and treated as social outcasts. Peter reminds them of the sufferings of Christ and subsequent glories (1 Pet 1:11) and then teaches them that they will experience the same pattern (1 Pet 4:13, 5:1). Then, he concludes by simply exhorting the elders to “shepherd the flock of God that is among you” (1 Pet 5:2). Pastor, that is the need of this hour.

To get started with Alexa Account Linking configuration, we need to configure the account linking parameters on the Alexa Skill Interface. This is done on the configuration page in the Alexa Developer Console.
We can configure our Skill to enforce account linking, i.e., the user has to link his account as a precondition for using the Skill. If this setting is active and the account is not linked, the Skill will not be available. Alternatively, the enforcement of account linking can be removed, allowing the user to activate and use the Skill without a linked account. Enforcement may make sense if the Skill is only usable with a linked account.
In the section called Security Provider Setting on the Account Linking Tab in the Alexa Developer Console, we need to provide the OAuth Server configuration. The values for these parameters are provided by the OAuth provider (e.g., Spotify) and from the registration of the Skill with the OAuth provider:
- Authorization URL: URL for end-user login provided by the OAuth provider (e.g. Spotify).
- Grant Type: Different flavors of OAuth, choose Auth Code Grant, unless specified otherwise by the OAuth provider.
- Token URLs: URL of the service providing Access Tokens provided by the OAuth provider (e.g., Spotify).
- ClientID: ID of the Alexa Skill, provided by the OAuth provider (e.g. Spotify) after registering the Skill as an App on their website.
- ClientSecret: Password of the Alexa Skill, provided by the OAuth provider (e.g. Spotify) after registering the Skill as an App on their website.
- Authentication Scheme: for authentication of the client on the token endpoint. Typically this is Basic Auth, but check with the OAuth provider (e.g. Spotify).
- Scopes: List of specific access rights we need from the OAuth provider. We need access rights to the playlists of the user.
Some non-standard information is asked as well:
- Domains: This is a whitelist to prevent cross-site attacks. All domains, which the login page (Authorization URL) can load data from, must be listed here. E.g. if the login page displays an image from a CDN (Content Delivery Network), the domain of the CDN needs to be listed here.
- Access Token Expiration Time: This is a fallback solution. Usually the OAuth server provides the token expiration time. The expiration time here is used as a fallback, if the OAuth server does not provide the token expiration time.
- Redirect URL: Alexa provides the redirect endpoint, which can receive an OAuth authorization code and request an OAuth access token. For redundancy, there are several redirect endpoints with different domains, which all behave the same way. All or one of them need to be provided to the OAuth Server.

It Can’t Be
That Red Shit
“What are your rates?” I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. I’d only answered the door because I thought ‘my date’ had just walked out. If she’d left her car keys, I was more than anxious to make sure she get them back.
The boy shrugged. “Your front yard isn’t that big. How about the back? D’you have jungle gyms and play stuff to dodge with the mower?”
“No. No kid-gear. That would imply that a kid has ever been in the house… Just a patio.”
“These your only flower beds?”
“That’s it…” I pushed the door open for him. “Come on through so you can take a look.”
When he stepped up from the stoop, I noticed how tall he was. Only 15ish… he was well on his way to being as tall as I was, if not taller.
He looked up to the vaulted ceiling of the foyer until it broke at the wall and suddenly became glass in the great room. He breathed ‘damn’ with the same awe I had when the builders finally got it right after 3 tries. “Glass houses…”
“I’m safe. I don’t throw a lot of stones.”
“What is that… Like a… a… the vines… is that honeysuckle?” The border around the room was done in stained glass to look like lattice…
“Impressive. Most people assume its wisteria.”
“Wisteria looks like grapes…” That’s what Sookie always said. “So… I guess you don’t have kids because you couldn’t afford the Windex, huh?”
I laughed, “Something like that.” I pushed open the sliding glass panels to lead him out to the back yard and waited for him to stop gawking and catch up. I was too arrogant to hurry him along. He was admiring my house. My design. My showcase.
He gave me an incredulous look and the arched eyebrow to go with it. “You call this a patio?”
“No, but most people don’t know what…”
“Not bad.” There were pompous housewives in the neighborhood that had them and still called them ‘porches’.
“I even like the furniture. Your wife has great taste.”
“My interior designer has been working with me for long enough to know MY taste. No wife.” I suddenly had the feeling he was either flirting with me or casing out my house to rob later.
“Oh. Sorry… I just assumed because well… I mean…”
“Single guys have a black pleather couch until the wife makes them trade it in?”
“Yeah. You gay or something?”
“No. I’m an architect. I like details.”
He tilted his head like he approved of my answer and stepped into the yard. “Big house though. I was just curious…” He walked out to the middle of the lawn and turned, surveying. The lot was only one acre and it was annoyingly flat. “…Bald barbers, skinny chefs and all that?”
“Exactly. I couldn’t really get away with living in a cookie-cutter home.”
“I bet… $50? I can trim around that board on board fencing, mow the lawn, pull weeds.”
“That’s what I get when I do it at home… but you’re gonna have to take out your own trash.”
“$50 is a lot more than I got as an allowance.” I was lucky to get money to pitch in for gas.
“How much did Captain Caveman give you to take out the garbage?” Old jokes? I wasn’t even 40 yet. Little pischer.
“My parents didn’t pay me. They were sneaky enough to call it pitching in.”
He started laughing. “Did I say $50? I meant $100.”
I had to admire the kid’s sense of humor. I held my hand out and he took it. “$50 it is…” The kid’s hand was the same size as mine. “I’m Eric by the way.”
“I prefer to think that my mother is a loyal AmERICan as opposed to facing the nightmare that she could’ve named me after Enrique Iglesias since she has all of his CDs. How’d you get stuck with it?”
My eyes rolled on their own. “All the other names were taken.”
“Sort of… counting both sides, I have 34 first cousins, but I’m an only child.”
“Three cousins, only child… So will your neighbors be pissed if I start your yard early?” The way he kept changing back and forth between subjects was amusing. Teenagers and their ADD… at least he had some manners.
“It should be fine. I only ever hear from one. He’s a tool, harmless, but still a tool.” Bill Compton and his notions that he needed to be liked by everyone were completely benign, if not amusing. Mr. Status Quo.
“One of those yuppy douche bags?”
“Oh, don’t let Bill fool you. If being homeless made networking easier, he’d be living under a bench at the zoo. The saying ‘an ounce of pretention is worth a pound of bullshit’ confuses him. He looks like a monkey doing long division every time I say it.”
He laughed, “My mom says that crap all the time… it’s usually when I tell her I need money for new clothes… and the other one… my mom says it about her boss so much that I picture a chimp humping a calculator every time I see him.”
“It must be a Southern thing. The first time I heard them was from a girlfriend in college.”
“Hardly. She was white trash and I was a thug who worked construction from the time I could get a work permit.”
He snorted. “You should’ve married her so she could divorce you and take away half of everything.”
“She wasn’t like that. College was her ticket out of the trailer park too…”
“Want me to start now or next week?”
I rolled my eyes at his attention span. “Next week. Bright and early would be better. My neighbor’s daughter is a debutant. Annoying her is the most fun I get from the neighbors.”
“Gotcha… ‘Til then.” He shook my hand again and left through the gate in the privacy fence.
It wasn’t the only conversation I’d had with him. I’d talked to him every time he’d been over. Taking him a bottle of water usually led to a few minutes of polite small talk. But that first conversation held enough clues that I felt like I was watching The Sixth Sense’s reveal scene. The flashes of all the clues Bruce Willis’s character should’ve picked up on. He should’ve known he was dead… I should’ve known, noticed…
Everything, all of the clues added up in such small increments that I didn’t quite feel like a complete idiot. It didn’t help that I was defensively in denial because of Bill’s sideways comments. But I’d be full of as much shit as he was if I tried to claim I’d have put two and two together without his snobbish taunting. I didn’t pay Bill any more attention than I did my desk blotter. He was just there, even on a good day.
I stared at the boy who, as my white trash mother would’ve said ‘coulda been spit outta my mouth’ and I felt a shift…
Not 10 minutes ago I was wallowing in melancholy. I’d let myself get caught in all the questions I’d wanted to ask Sookie for 16 fucking years. Why did she leave? What had I done wrong? Where did she go?
10 minutes ago, I would’ve been a retarded sap if I ran into her… I could’ve forgiven her with a few answers. That’s all I really wanted. Not knowing anything had haunted me ever since…
16 fucking years… He was practically an adult and I was only just finding out about him… Sookie had robbed me of everything.
I took an unsteady step back, feeling like I might be sick. “Crystal, Eric… I think this is a conversation we should have inside.”
Eric started trudging my way, but Crystal shook her head. “No… I think this is a conversation…”
“Crystal, Jason’s going to be involved, but I think this bullshit has gone on more than long enough.” I took another step back to make room for her to get by, but I would’ve snatched her into the house if I needed to. She wasn’t getting away.
She let out a loud sigh and stepped in, stopping just behind me.
When Eric came up the steps, I saw it all. Every fucking similarity that had only been coincidence to me before was screaming at me. “This isn’t what I planned. I just wanted to meet you.”
All I could do was nod. It was all I could let myself do. I was feeling too much at once. I didn’t know whether to scream, cry, break something… “We’ll sort this out.”
“Don’t be too pissed at them alright… They didn’t know I was doing this… I didn’t expect you to hire me.”
Another nod, but before I had the chance to ask him what he did expect or what he would’ve done if I’d just told him to fuck off like my other neighbors would’ve, Crystal got my attention. She’d hit speed dial on her phone.
“You’re calling Jason?”
She nodded with hesitation.
I snatched her cell phone out of her hand as I walked through the foyer to lead the way to the great room. She gasped and hummed her disapproval instead of putting up a real argument.
“Hey there yourself.”
“Shit Eric, you gotta get yourself a cell. I flirt with you more than I do my own wife.” He still sounded like the same Kentucky Fried Goon I’d met 18 years ago when Sookie and I started dating.
“Sounds like a real problem. Mind if I ask you a question?”
“Yeah… You alright? You sound like your sinuses are acting up again. You forget to take your allergy pills this morning?” As a matter of fact I had forgotten them.
“I’m fine. I was wondering how you managed to graduate high school when your memory can be so shitty.”
“I played football, kid. I earned extra credit in the end zone… What crawled up your butt? I know I didn’t forget your birthday. That’s why I got a wife.”
“What crawled up my butt is that for 16 years, I’ve been calling you to look for Sookie and it’s consistently slipped your mind that I have a son.”
The silence coming from his end of the line was all the answer I needed.
“You sack of shit. You let me file missing persons reports and go to every fucking hospital for miles looking for Jane Does for years and you knew all along where she was and that she was fine.” I watched Eric pace around, walking from one room to the next with his arms folded over his chest and eyes on his feet…
“She didn’t want you to find her.”
“You could’ve had the balls to tell me that.”
“You’re right… You know how she is when she sets her mind on something… She wouldn’t even tell me why.”
“Well then that makes two of us.”
“Look… I… wait… Did you like run into Crystal or something?”
“You could say that. She arrived on my front step to retrieve her nephew who just so happens to be my lawn boy.”
“Small world, huh?”
“No its not! You asshole! He wanted to fucking meet his father. Seems like everyone he knows refused to tell him the first fucking thing about me.”
“Look man… I’m sorry… I guess it’s been fourteen years now I’ve been trying to get Sook to contact you. She stopped talking to me for a year over it. I never could get it out of her why she left… I didn’t know if you got rough with her or something so I… Ask Crystal… She’ll tell ya. We been trying to get Sookie to contact you since she told us about the baby.”
“The baby? Not the pregnancy?”
“When she left school she didn’t call us for a long time. We figured y’all were moving and settling in and all. She called us when Eric was born.”
“You didn’t know she was pregnant until he was born?”
“Yeah… said she was thinking about putting him up for adoption but when she saw him she changed her mind.” And never tell me?
“What the fuck?”
“I don’t know. That’s what I’m saying. I’d have told you if… Seriously. You’re a big guy… If you were knocking her around or…” Never. I wouldn’t. Ever.
“Jason… if she was scared of me then why would she NAME HIM AFTER ME!?”
“I don’t know! That’s what I’m saying… She acted like she was hiding from you and then she named him Eric… You’re smart. If you don’t know why she left, then what makes you think I’d figure it out?”
“Don’t breathe a word to her. Do you understand? This is something Eric and I will figure out. We’ll handle it. You fucking owe us that much after lying to us for 16 years.”
“Yeah, no problem.”
Crystal couldn’t leave the house fast enough once her phone was back in her hand. She only asked that we let her know whether to expect Eric to be returned tonight or not. Not. Neither of us had to say it. We’d already decided. Even though it was only noon, we had 15 years worth of talking to do. Talking as a minimum.
He wasted no time once the door was closed behind his aunt. “You were looking for my mom.”
“Of course I was. She disappeared into thin air without a word, a note, nothing. She vanished the day after graduation. I thought she had gone to get breakfast because the only thing missing was her keys and her purse… She didn’t take anything with her. Did she tell you why she left?”
“It wasn’t working out…”
“What? That makes her one hell of a bullshit artist. The last fucking thing she said to me before we fell asleep was that she’d always love me. We were about to move here to… fuck!”
“I meant earlier… Your computer… You should’ve been looking for Belle. That’s what she goes by now. Only Jason and Crystal call her Sookie anymore… You’re still looking for her.”
I stopped pacing and looked at him. “Yes, of course I was. We lived just off campus in a shitty part of town. Anything could’ve happened to her…”
“I think she still loves you.”
I snorted. I couldn’t help it. “She’s got a fucked up way of showing it. She disappeared…”
“Monday, May 8th, 1994 between 3 and 8am.”
“I was born on December 10th.”
“That’s good to know. If we don’t tell her that we met, there’s half a chance I can celebrate a birthday with you.”
He snorted, “I know right… but that’s not was I was getting at… She’s got locked lips over the whole thing. I know I was a couple weeks early… So I happened around St. Patrick’s Day.”
I shrugged. I knew jack shit about pregnancy since I’d never been along for the fucking ride. “Wonderful. She probably knew and left anyway.”
“You didn’t know?”
“No. I had no idea. What do you know about me that I didn’t tell you?”
“Nothing? Not a single thing?”
“Well, since mom’s kind of a midget, I figured you were tall.”
“How did you find me?”
“Uncle Jason is kind of retarded. Wedding pictures.”
“So when you asked about your father what did she say?”
“I stopped asking a few years ago. I thought you were dead for a long time because she’d cry whenever I brought it up. She’d always take me on a road trip for Father’s Day so I wouldn’t think about it.” Road trips…
“Where did she take you?”
“This year I was here… Last year we drove out to Atlanta. We went to a Braves game and to some museum…”
“The Morse Museum of Modern Art?”
“Yeah. You know it?”
“Inside and out… I designed it.”
“No way. Really?”
I nodded. “I did it in college… What’s your middle name?” It bothered me, infuriated me to no end that I knew nothing about my own son. Not that I had no idea how to change his diaper… That he was in HIGH SCHOOL and I only knew that he looked like me, had allergies like me and some of my ticks… We were both pacing again.
“Gehry.” That bitch.
“Eric Gehry Stackhouse… What would you rather do? Call her or go see her?”
“You’re really pissed.”
“On a lot of levels. For a lot of reasons… not because of anything you’ve done though.”
“I… I think I’d rather do it in person.”
“Do you have a stepfather that might be unhappy about…?”
“No. Mom’s never even been on a date that I know of.”
“Do you want to go back to Jason’s to get cleaned up?”
“No. I can shower at home… You sure you want to drive though. It’s 3 hours away.”
I was already on my way to grab my keychain. “Eric, your mother is the one who hates road trips.”

(Stephen Clarkson — The Ottawa Citizen)
The paradox of North American relations after NAFTA and 9/11 is that poor Mexico is stronger in Washington than rich Canada
There is an understandable rationale for the heavy thinkers of Canada's political-economic elite meeting Monday at Carleton University's Canada-U.S. Project to advocate a blueprint for reviving the once special Canadian-American relationship. After all, the North American project, which was launched with such fanfare by the same business leaders, conservative politicians and policy analysts 15 years ago, has largely failed.
The signing of the North American Free-Trade Agreement might have begun the process of welding the world's only superpower along with its northern and southern neighbours into a coherent regional entity that played a role greater than the sum of its parts on the world stage. But NAFTA had been designed to operate without effective institutions so that once its rules - which cut back the peripheral governments' powers more than those of the United States - came into effect, there were no instruments through which Ottawa and Mexico City could play a continent-wide game.
For its part, Washington soon lost the interest that it had briefly manifested in developing North America as its regional power base. True, NAFTA's rules of origin temporarily gave the U.S. automobile and textile industries special protections in the continental market, but the relentless globalization of these industries' ownership structure undermined what little economic logic there had been for promoting the three-state entity as a regulatory area. Read the rest here.

The violence gripping the Middle East has distracted the world from the seismic changes transforming almost all large Arab societies. These changes will confront the Arab middle classes with difficult choices and shape the future of the region.
This tipping point arises out of a relatively subtle shift in the governments' economic policies. In the past two years, several North African, eastern Mediterranean, and Persian Gulf countries have started to restructure their public sector compensation systems, curtail the welfare programs they introduced in 2011 (the height of the Arab uprisings), impose new direct and indirect taxes, and reduce their energy subsidies.
These changes will bring substantial economic pain to Arab societies. The most vulnerable social group, the poor, will likely try to fight back, through strikes and demonstrations. In response, the region’s regimes might attempt to rally their electorate with nationalistic rhetoric and by painting themselves as saviors pursuing tough but necessary measures. Before too long, many of these regimes will also resort to political repression against activists and groups that challenge their policies.
The resulting upheaval will force the Arab middle classes to take a stance. The more educated and mostly urban members of this group will generally benefit from the new reforms, which will improve their countries’ fiscal and monetary positions. As a result, large sections of the Arab middle classes might be tempted to back the state. They might also see the ruling regimes as necessary bulwarks against the violence and chaos that ensnarl much of the Middle East.
But the middle class can hardly ensure its security and good fortune in the long term by unconditionally casting its lot with the ruling elites. Gradually, the erosion of political and civil rights will breed resentment among key social groups: the poor, the civil society, and young, economically marginalized Arabs. Eventually -- sparked by some new social, economic, or political black swan -- that anger will erupt in a new wave of Arab uprisings. It will sweep seemingly stable

AS we hurtle towards F-Day it might pay to heed the news from Australia.
If you can find it. So little is ever classed by UK editors as sufficiently noteworthy to be included in their pages.
Unless, of course, it is of a bushfires, mouse plagues or shark attacks. Although the latter have now been downgraded to “incidents” to avoid scaring the tourists. Which is little solace to a surfer who has donated a meaty thigh to a great white’s lunch.
Hot off the press, however, is the latest development in the country’s endless battle with the pandemic.
The land hailed in the early days (remember those?) as a shining example to the rest of the world in how to handle Covid with quick and decisive action.
Not any longer. It has since wallowed in on-off actions, endless waffle, indecisions, political infighting, vacillation and divisive actions between states.
Like everywhere else.
For a while, things were looking good. Akin to what is about to happen here on F for Freedom Day, restrictions were eased. Entertainment venues threw open their doors, shoppers thronged streets and stores, large sporting arenas welcomed mass gatherings of fans to football of all codes.
It didn’t work. The largest state (New South Wales) and most populous city (Sydney) are in a lockdown that could last for many more days.
Or a couple of weeks. Or even longer. No one seems to know, least of all those in charge.
More recently, the State of Victoria (capital city, Melbourne) has been plunged into almost total lockdown with only a few hours’ notice.
It is due to last at least five days. Pretty well everything brought to a standstill with schools and businesses closed, QR codes needed for supermarket shopping and everyone masked up.
So much for freedom.
So much for the lifting of lockdown.
It only took disregard of the basic precautions by a handful of removalists to take Covid on a merry little ride across three state borders. With comfort stops along the way at filling stations and fast food outlets.
They brought a new and unwanted meaning to their jobs as carriers and transporters as they wound their blissfully carefree way from town to town, city to city.
In Melbourne, sports fans (we know all about them, don’t we?) stopped off for a few beers in Melbourne’s most popular watering hole before hopping on a tram to get to the vast cauldron of the Melbourne Cricket Ground to mingle and shout over a couple of Aussie Rules footy teams.
So good to get back to full-on normal. Chuck away the masks. Just like the good old days. No worries, mate.
All without a care in the world. Sport is good. Sport is the lifeblood of the nation. Until its followers breathe in the cheers and jeers of their rowdy mates.
Bring the shutters down. Another lockdown.
And there we have it. So much for setting an example to the rest of us. Instead, more recent events are sounding a warning.
It is all very well pleading the desperate need for a holiday or the screaming urgency of throwing a party.
Fine, if the basic precautions are heeded. If one could trust one’s fellow beings to show care and consideration for each other.
Nice thought. Believe it if you can. Then look again at the social concern and communal care on display at Wembley’s recent fiasco.
The idiots are well and truly among us. Colleagues, workmates, neighbours.
They wear no identifying tags (now there’s a thought) and for much of their time they seem perfectly normal caring and responsible beings.
But when the chips are down, who knows?
So, when F-day comes, perhaps we need to be aware of what has already happened elsewhere.
When throwing caution to the wind who knows what is being blown along with it?
Now, where did I put that mask?

Received as a gift in 2001. How old do you think this Princess Feather is?
What company made these? How can you tell the difference between and old one and a new one? Or a new one that someone tried to make look old?
Is it worth anything?

Next week, the Argentine singer-songwriter Juana Molina releases her new album Wed 21, her first in five years. It’s a true auteur move. Molina sang every note on the album and played all the instruments, and she also composed and produced and recorded everything. We’ve already posted two songs, the twitchy “Eras” and the dusky “Sin Guia No,” as well as our interview with Molina. And now you can stream all of Wed 21 at NPR.
Wed 21 is out 10/29 on Crammed Discs.

E3 changed format dramatically in 2007, changing dates and venues and restricting attendance to "invitation only," and the results weren't pretty. Exhibitors and journalists alike came away dissatisfied and the show generated none of the "buzz" of previous years. In 2008 the situation got worse as various high-profile companies declined to take part in the show or parted ways with the ESA entirely; other events, meanwhile, like Leipzig and the Penny Arcade Expo quickly eclipsed the gelded E3 in the hearts and minds of gamers.
In response, the ESA announced that the 2009 show would be "the must-attend event of the year," with bigger booths, increased audience size and an expanded number of exhibitors. Specifics were a bit hazy but Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello said the 2009 show would be "the pre-eminent North American gaming show... better for industry leaders and for serious gamers," while Ubisoft's Laurent Detoc went even further, claiming it would be the first "real E3" since 2006.
But with the show rapidly approaching, ESA Chief Executive Michael Gallagher has said that despite the upgrades, the new E3 won't be like the old E3. "I came aboard one month before the first of the small shows. The Santa Monica event was really my first exposure to the industry in a broader way - I had never been to any of the prior E3s," he told GameDaily. "Last year we made some improvements based upon the input we received, but this show is not a return to the old E3."
"It is definitely much more reflective of the energy, excitement and creativity of our industry, but I wouldn't say it's our first 'big E3' or a return to the old one," he continued. "It's a show based upon what the industry needs to project as an image of the excitement we have in the pipeline for the rest of the year. It's the right show; it's not a particular reference to any prior year."
Gallagher said over 200 companies would have their wares on display and predicted an attendance of around 40,000. "It's going to be a lot more high energy and that's precisely what the industry needs right now," he said.

THE ROLE OF NMR URINE METABOLOMICS AS A NEW METHOD FOR SCREENING COLORECTAL CANCER - A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS
H Wang2, C Slupsky1, D Schiller2, M Sawyer3, C Wong1, R Fedorak11Department of Medicine; 2Department of Surgery; 3Department of Oncology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta
Aims: Colorectal cancer is a major public health concern since it is among the leading causes of death in North America, but it can be curable if identified early, even better if found at the adenomatous polyp stage. Current screening methods have limitations or potential risks associated with them. With the emerging field of metabolomics and the recent discovery of a urine metabolomic signature for colorectal cancer (in a pilot study by Sawyer and Slupsky et al.), we hypothesize that urine metabolomics could represent a more sensitive, non-invasive and accessible method of identifying asymptomatic subjects with colorectal cancers, and perhaps even precursor adenomatous polyps.
Methods: This is the preliminary analysis from a 1000 subject prospective, multi-centered trial to assess whether a simple urine test can play a role in the screening of colorectal cancer. Urine samples were collected from 52 subjects going through an established colorectal screening program (29 had no polyps, 10 adenomatous polyps, 12 hyperplastic polyps, and 1 malignant polyp). Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, the 1H NMR spectrum of each urine sample was analyzed to define a unique metabolomic signature, and it was compared to the recently established metabolomic signature of colorectal cancer.
Results: Using the metabolomic signature, the cancer subject was correctly predicted as having cancer. Similarly, of the 10 adenomatous polyp subjects, and 12 hyperplastic polyp subjects, 9/10 and 8/12, respectively, were correctly predicted by the metabolomic signature. Of those patients with no polyps, only 13/29 were identified as "normal". Comparison of those with adenomatous and hyperplastic polyps revealed no clear distinction using multivariate statistical analysis.
Conclusions: These results are encouraging; as it appears that urine metabolomics has a high sensitivity for diagnosis of colorectal cancer and identifying colonic polyps. Additional patient analyses will likely increase specificity and decrease false-positives. This preliminary analysis generated interesting and encouraging results which are being studied in a larger population. Urine metabolomics has the potential to provide society with an accurate, non-invasive, and inexpensive screening tool for colorectal cancer.

AXOM Gallery Press Release
August 30 – September 29, 2012
AXOM Gallery is pleased to open the 2012 -2013 Gallery Season with an exhibition of paintings and prints by internationally acclaimed artist, author and educator, Keith Howard.
In this body of work, Keith Howard juxtaposes contemporary artistic ideas with the ageless archetype of the biblical Eve. His large paintings are both powerful and provocative as they challenge us to reflect on our relationship with our human nature and our relationship with the environment.
Keith, who serves as Head of Contemporary Printmaking at Rochester Institute of Technology, has exhibited his prints around the world. His new body of work, the “Eve” paintings will be exhibited for the first time in Rochester, NY at AXOM Gallery.
The selection of Keith Howard for our opening show was chosen to support the mission of the Greentopia Festival, which is a week-long celebration that promotes innovative ideas and products for sustainable living. Keith’s development of nontoxic printmaking techniques has shaped the way many art and printmaking professionals think about issues of sustainability, health and safety in the arts. His program at R.I. T. is considered the most advanced academic nontoxic printmaking program in the USA.
In keeping with his penchant for innovation, Keith’s recent exploration into the creation of paintings introduces us to a new genre of artistic expression. These paintings initiate in the tradition of printmaking and evolve into a 21st century prototype for a global artisan collaborative that is made possible through the advancements of digital photography and internet communications. Keith challenges the viewer to reexamine romantic ideals of the biblical Eve as we experience a modern day Eve in a variety of panoramic landscapes. He also challenges our concept of authorship, where ‘Master Printers’ would traditionally create original prints for painters, by reversing the order. Now the ‘Master Painter’; Mr. Xiang Ming Lin from China is one of the collaborators taking Keith’s original images and creating the original painting.
*In celebration of the mission of Rochester’s Greentopia Festival, AXOM Gallery will donate a portion of its proceeds from the sale of Keith’s paintings and prints to the Genesee Land Trust to support their efforts to ‘preserve and protect the land within the Greater Rochester Area, including waterways, wetland, farmland, open space, fish and wildlife habitat, and scenic or recreational areas.

The Puppy Rescue Mission (“TPRM”) is the brainchild of president and founding member Anna Cannan. Anna’s idea for TPRM began when her fiancé, Chris, was deployed to and stationed in Afghanistan. TPRM’s primary mission is to help bring home the companions to our soldiers serving in a war zone. These companions already have homes waiting for them — they just need help getting there. TPRM believes that these beloved companions have at times not only physically saved our soldiers from harm but have also filled an emotional need for a sense of home and normalcy in a hostile and dangerous environment.
With the help of the ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL, TPRM continues to make loving connections between rescue dogs and their companions! Recently, Los-Angeles based photographer and ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL documenter Strati Hovartos directed a heartfelt PSA, starring a cast of active duty and veteran warriors and narrated by Mayhem-alumni and world-renowned rocker Rob Zombie.
Last summer, Rob Zombie donated his incredible truck featured on History’s Counting Cars to TPRM. At the time, Rob Zombie stated, “… soldiers in Afghanistan would find these dogs and bond with them and sneak them on the bases, even though they weren’t supposed to have them. It was probably the only moment of sanity for these guys, when they spent time with them….But they weren’t allowed to take them home, and if they could, it was so expensive. That was a cause I could really understand and get behind.”
Watch the PSA here:
ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL producer John Reese states, “The sacrifices made by our men and women serving overseas are numerous. Having to leave a dog behind that one may become attached to is just another sacrifice that most of us aren't aware of. The work The Puppy Rescue Mission does is so important."
“A sincere thank you goes out to the ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL for their support and dedication in making these reunions possible,” states The Puppy Rescue Mission Founder and President, Anna Maria Cannan. “The bond between a soldier and his dog is truly unbreakable. Thousands of miles away from home, it is sometimes the one thing in the world that can bring a smile to their face.”

The contenders have been whittled to six in our seemingly-never-ending quest to find THE perfect adjective to describe referee Jim Burr: in a race that was decided by the closest of margins, TURGID's bloated candidacy was snuffed out by a single vote, while INCOMPARABLY INCOMPETENT sneaks off in the tall grass to fight another day.
Before we get to this week's edition of ...
... let's have a word from our sponsor*: JAMESON, purveyors of fine Irish whiskey for centuries. Whether you're coming home from a hard day at the office -- like, say, leaving your job 1.5 seconds too early -- or you just need a quick pick-me-up at your lunchtime/halftime break, JAME-O is the cure for what ails you.
* Not our sponsor. Not affiliated with this nonsense in any way, shape, or form. Not even a little bit. Not even at all. (Unless, of course, you include the fact that I thought up my submissions for the contest while enjoying a cocktail.)
You've got the rules down pat now, right? You're voting one of the adjectives below out of the contest: it can be your least favorite, it can be one that's standing in the way of your preferred choice, it can be one that makes you feel dumb because you can't figure out what it means. Just don't vote for your favorite? Kthanx.

Perhaps you have read or participated in Point of Impact’s annual Christmas Backpack Program. Perhaps you have donated, but are not sure what happens after a Christmas backpack is purchased. In Honduras, the public school system is free until a student reaches the sixth grade. However, the majority of these children come from families that live on less than two dollars a day—school supplies and uniforms are never an option.
But this year, five hundred children now have the supplies they’ll need to be prepared for school.

Split pea soup is a true Dutch classic and also one of the few Dutch dishes with legumes as an ingredient. It’s also known as snert in the Netherlands, which besides the name for the soup also refers to something which is worthless or cheap. This apparently originated in the shipping industry when the cook used leftovers to make a split pea soup of questionable quality…
Dutch split pea soup uses green split peas and is very thick. It’s typically a winter dish. Traditionally it contains bacon and smoked sausage but you can replace these easily with vegan versions.
Serves 6 people as a meal
500 g green split peas
2 ½ l water
250 g (smoked) tofu, cut into rectangular bits
2 onions, diced
1 winter carrot, quarted lengthwise and then sliced
1 leek, cut in rings
¼ root celery, cut into cubes
3 potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
salt and pepper to taste
1 vegan (smoked) sausage
parsley or celery leaf
1. Put the split peas and water in a stock pot, stir and bring to a boil. Then turn it down to the lowest heat. Simmer for about an hour.
2. In the meanwhile, roast the tofu pieces with some oil in the oven on a high temperature, until slightly crunchy.
3. After the split peas have cooked for about an hour, add the vegetables. Add salt and pepper to taste. Continue to simmer for about half an hour. When the veggies are soft and the split peas are tender yet not fully dissolved, the soup is ready.
4. Add slices of the sausage to the pot or your bowl, as you prefer. Serve with some chopped parsley or celery leaf sprinkled on top.
This soup is best enjoyed a day later to allow the full flavour coming out. Or at least a little while after cooking, as the soup will also thicken. Soup lovers insist it should be as thick as to allow a spoon to stand right up in it! Traditionally we eat it with rye bread, with some vegan butter if you want. Enjoy!

Return to: Texas Centennial Exposition Index
FDR's Speech at the Cotton Bowl, June 12, 1936
"I have come here to bear the tribute of the Nation to you on your 100th birthday. You are 100 years young."
"I am here also because I conceive it to be one of the duties and the privileges of the presidency to visit, from time to time, every part of the United States."
"When I was appointed Assistant Secretary of the Navy by President Wilson in 1913 I had visited, as I recall, only about twenty States, but during the next few years I had the fortunate opportunity of going into all the others."
"Seeing things at first hand is a good habit. I have been fortunate indeed. For as a result of personal contacts with every part of the United States during many years past I have tried honestly to visualize the problems of every part of the land in their relationships to every other part, and to the unity of the whole."
"This great Centennial Exposition is not for Texans alone - it is for the people of the other forty-seven States as well."
"I hope they will take full advantage of it."
"During the past three years, with the return of confidence and the great increase in prosperity, the excellent custom of getting acquainted with the United States has asserted itself. We see a great tide of travel by rail, by plane, by ship and by automobile. We are indeed seeing things at first hand - may the habit spread."
"Coincident with the return of better days, we have witnessed three great expositions - The Century of Progress in Chicago, so popular that it was kept open for a second year; the California International Exposition in San Diego, which is open today in its second successful year, and the third is this fine exposition commemorating the centenary of the independence of Texas. May you have all the good luck you so well deserve."
"It is not mere acres that count in this world - it is rather, the character of the people who dwell upon them. You, the people of Texas, have been tried by fire in these hundred years. You have commenced a war for independence. You have been apparently defeated, and then you have won out. You have gone through the difficult days of the War Between the States and the trials of reconstruction. You have had to fight against oppression from within and without."
"Your farmers were among the first to rebel against exploitation by the railroads. In a period of monopoly, combinations, overcapitalization, high rates, poor service and discrimination against the small shipper, you established a landmark in the regulation of public utilities for the good of their users."
"Later, when industrial development came to Texas, you were confronted by corporations that got out of hand. Here again you called into play the old Texas spirit of freedom for the individual, and out of it came your anti-trust laws, preceded by only one other State in the Union."
"It is, as I recall in my history, a fact that during this period there were many prophets of evil who foretold the ruin of Texas by the enactment of legislation to curb these abuses. Yet it is a matter of record that several years later an authoritative survey reported this: 'No part of the Union is more prosperous, no other State has so systematically pursued a policy of corporation regulation, and no other State is so free from the domination of special interests.'"
"Why did the people of Texas do this more than a generation ago? They believed in democracy in Government. But they discovered that democracy in Government could not exist unless, at the same time, there was democracy in opportunity."
"You found that certain forms of monopoly - the combinations of public utilities and their businesses which sought their own ends - were un-Democratic because they were bearing down heavily on their smaller competitors and on the people they served, because of this they were taking away opportunity."
"Today we have restored democracy in Government."
"We are in the process of restoring democracy in opportunity."
"In our national life, public and private, the very nature of free Government demands that there must be a line of defense held by the yeomanry of business and industry and agriculture. Not the generalismos, but the small men, the average men in business and industry and agriculture - those who have an ownership in their business and a responsibility which gives them stability. Any elemental policy, economic or political, which tends to eliminate these dependable defenders of Democratic institutions, and to concentrate control in the hands of a few small, powerful groups, is directly opposed to the stability of Government and to Democratic Government itself."
"If the tendency in the dozen years following the World War had been permitted to continue, the inevitable consequences would have been the destruction of the base of our form of Government. For its splendid structure there would have been substituted as a natural result an autocratic form of Government."
"I have spoken of the prophets of evil who plagued your great reforms in Texas. They were blood brothers of some who seek to operate on a national scale. After you in Texas had done so much to restore democracy in opportunity, you found as we in other States found, that the evils we had sought to eradicate had merely jumped over the boundary into some other State. The old abuses of the railroads were finally curbed only after teeth were put into the interstate commerce law and a Nation-wide regulation was made effective. Banking reforms were tried in many States, but here again reform became effective only when the Federal Government was enabled to operate throughout the union. First by the Federal Reserve act, and finally by means of the splendid legislation of the past three years. Individual States attempted courageously to regulate the sale of securities or the control of exchanges, but you and I know that from the point of view of the Nation as a whole, the effective curbing of abuses was made possible only when the Congress of the United States took a hand by passing the securities act and the stock exchange act."
"So it goes with the constructive reform of many other abuses, which, in the past, have limited or prevented democracy in opportunity. The more progressive of the States may do their share, but unless the action of the States is substantially uniform and simultaneous, the effectiveness of reform is nullified, and crippled by chiselers, so, like many other evildoers, are, alas, still with us."
"The net result of monopoly, the net result of economic and financial control in the hands of the few, has meant the ownership of labor as a commodity. If labor is to be a commodity in the United States, in the final analysis it means that we shall become a Nation of boarding houses, instead of a Nation of homes. If our people ever submit to that they will have said 'goodby' to their historic freedom. Men do not fight for boarding houses. They will fight for their homes."
"I have spoken of the interest which all the country should take in this great exposition - I mean this as symbol for the concern which every locality should have in every other locality in every other State. The prosperity which has come to Texas through the products of its farms and ranches, the products of its factories, has been made possible chiefly because other parts of the Nation were in possession of the buying power, the consuming power, to use what you have produced. On the other side of the picture, thousands of factories and thousands of farms in the North and in the East have been enabled more greatly to sell their wares, because of the prosperity of you, the people of Texas. I have spoken not once but a dozen times of the necessity of interdependence of each State on every other State - it is a lesson which cannot be driven home or preached too often."
"I have taken great happiness in these past three years in the lessening of sectionalism which is apparent on every hand. More and more we have been thinking nationally. That in itself is good. But it would not have been good if at the same time we had not come to understand more deeply that the national good-neighbor policy must extend also to those neighbors who lie outside our national boundaries. You in Texas whose boundaries extend for hundreds of miles along those of our sister Republic of Mexico can well understand what the good-neighbor policy means throughout the Americas. We seek to banish war in this hemisphere; we seek to extend those practices of good will and closer friendship upon which itself is based."
"I salute the Empire of Texas."

So - I came up with a word for the year - that seems to be the trendy thing to do, according to many in my blog posse... and no, I wasn't consciously thinking about resolutions or goals or themes or anything... yet still, it hit me today:
Perfect, isn't it? A word, a beautiful verb, even a whole sentence. Love it.
My schedule, my house, my meals, my projects, my budget... all could use some decluttering and possibly some serious trimming of unnecessary items, too - here we go...

What I find fascinating is the fact that commenter James Urbaniak says "When anyone figures out exactly what this is making fun of, get back to me. "
Because then it'll be OK to laugh? Or decide to "speak out against it?"
Even in 1965, Charles Schulz had a hard time getting network executives to allow Linus to recite the Nativity story from the Gospel of Luke. Today you'd have a much easier time greenlighing a pro-Muslim special.

The Gourmet Haus Staudt. A nice place to enjoy good German ales. And if you are an Apple Software Engineer named Gray Powell and you get one too many beers, it's also a nice place to lose the next-generation iPhone.
The 27-year-old Powell—a North Carolina State University 2006 graduate and talented amateur photographer—is an Apple Software Engineer working on the iPhone Baseband Software, the little program that enables the iPhone to make calls.
On the night of March 18, he was enjoying the fine imported ales at Gourmet Haus Staudt, a nice German beer garden in Redwood City, California. He was happy. The place was great. The beer was excellent. "I underestimated how good German beer is," he typed into the next-generation iPhone he was testing on the field, cleverly disguised as an iPhone 3GS. It was his last Facebook update from the secret iPhone. It was the last time he ever saw the iPhone, right before he abandoned it on bar stool, leaving to go home.
Knowing how ferocious and ruthless Apple is about product leaks, those beers may have turned out to be the bitterest of his life.
(Almost) Impenetrable Security
Until now, Apple's legendary security has always worked perfectly. Perhaps there was a blurry factory photo here, or some last-minute information strategically whispered to some friendly media there. But when it comes to the big stuff, everything is airtight. At their Cupertino campus, any gadget or computer that is worth protecting is behind armored doors, with security locks with codes that change every few minutes. Prototypes are bolted to desks. Hidden in these labs, hardware, software and industrial-design elves toil separately on the same devices, without really having the complete picture of the final product.
And hidden in every corner, the Apple secret police, a team of people with a single mission: To make sure nobody speaks. And if there's a leak, hunt down the traitor, and escort him out of the building. Using lockdowns and other fear tactics, these men in black are the last line of defense against any sneaky eyes. The Gran Jefe Steve trusts them to avoid Apple's worst nightmare: The leak of a strategic product that could cost them millions of dollars in free marketing promotion. One that would make them lose control of the product news cycle.
But the fact is that there's no perfect security. Not when humans are involved. Humans that can lose things. You know, like the next generation iPhone.
Lost and Found
Apple security's mighty walls fell on the midnight of Thursday, March 18. At that time, Powell was at Gourmet Haus Staudt, just 20 miles from the company's Infinite Loop headquarters, having his fun. Around him, other groups of people were sharing the jolly atmosphere, and plenty of the golden liquid.
The person who eventually ended up with the lost iPhone was sitting next to Powell. He was drinking with a friend too. He noticed Powell on the stool next to him but didn't think twice about him at the time. Not until Powell had already left the bar, and a random really drunk guy—who'd been sitting on the other side of Powell—returned from the bathroom to his own stool.
The Random Really Drunk Guy pointed at the iPhone sitting on the stool, the precious prototype left by the young Apple engineer.
"Hey man, is that your iPhone?" asked Random Really Drunk Guy.
"Hmmm, what?" replied the person who ended up with the iPhone. "No, no, it isn't mine."
"Ooooh, I guess it's your friend's then," referring to a friend who at the time was in the bathroom. "Here, take it," said the Random Really Drunk Guy, handing it to him. "You don't want to lose it." After that, the Random Really Drunk Guy also left the bar.
The person who ended up with the iPhone asked around, but nobody claimed it. He thought about that young guy sitting next to him, so he and his friend stayed there for some time, waiting. Powell never came back.
During that time, he played with it. It seemed like a normal iPhone. "I thought it was just an iPhone 3GS," he told me in a telephone interview. "It just looked like one. I tried the camera, but it crashed three times." The iPhone didn't seem to have any special features, just two bar codes stuck on its back: 8800601pex1 and N90_DVT_GE4X_0493. Next to the volume keys there was another sticker: iPhone SWE-L200221. Apart from that, just six pages of applications. One of them was Facebook. And there, on the Facebook screen, was the Apple engineer, Gray Powell.
Thinking about returning the phone the next day, he left. When he woke up after the hazy night, the phone was dead. Bricked remotely, through MobileMe, the service Apple provides to track and wipe out lost iPhones. It was only then that he realized that there was something strange that iPhone. The exterior didn't feel right and there was a camera on the front. After tinkering with it, he managed to open the fake 3GS.
There it was, a shiny thing, completely different from everything that came before.
Weeks later, Gizmodo got it. It was the real thing. Once we saw it inside and out, there was no doubt about it. We learnt about this story, but we didn't know for sure it was Powell's phone until today, when we contacted him via his phone.
Gray Powell: Hello?
John Herrman: Is this Gray?
J: Hi, this is John Herrman from Gizmodo.com.
J: You work at Apple, right?
G: Um, I mean I can't really talk too much right now.
J: I understand. We have a device, and we think that maybe you misplaced it at a bar, and we would like to give it back.
G: Yeah, I forwarded your email [asking him if it was his iPhone], someone should be contacting you.
G: Can I send this phone number along?
J: [Contact information]
He sounded tired and broken. But at least, he's alive. And apparently, he may still be working at Apple. As it should be, because it's just a fucking iPhone. It can happen to everyone, Gray Powell, Phil Schiller, you, me, and even Steve Jobs
Unlike Apple's legendary impenetrable security, breached by the power of German beer and one single human mistake.

At times, the image/video you come across might not be the real complete story, rather it might be just the opposite. With elections around the corner, everyone is trying their best to twist, change the meaning of the real complete video by trimming, clipping, showing you just a part of the entire story. A small video is viral in which Rajasthan CM Vasundhra Raje is heard saying that confuse people so much so they don’t get time to ask you the real questions, i.e about employment, farmers, infrastructure etc. Even Congress leader Randeep Surjewala fell for WhatsApp University and used the same half truth to target Vasundhra Raje in his speech He tweeted – वसुंधराजी की ने अपने कार्यकर्ताओं को कहा कि सबको इतना उलझा दो की कोई यह नहीं कहे की सड़के क्यों नहीं बनी,पानी क्यों नहीं
A Video is viral which has two others within, on left it shows what Rahul Gandhi said before elections. He said, if they win elections they will waive off the farmers’ loan within 10 days. In right video he says “Waiving loan is not solution, it would be complex” Ex-President BJP, Mr. Satish Upadhyaya tweeted: https://twitter.com/upadhyaysbjp/status/1072834397160857600 Truth The Video on right is trimmed/clipped with a sentence removed. Following is the complete video of his press conference after winning the election You can listen from 21:20 https://youtu.be/aJ_u-zgT1Js Translation “See, I’ve said in my speech that Loan waiver is a supporting step, loan waiver is not a solution, solution will be very complex” So the first sentence “Loan Waiver is a supporting step”
A photoshopped screengrab of ABP News has been circulating on social media which claims that Girija Tripathi, an accused in the Deoria shelter home case is the sister of BJP MP Kalraj Mishra. A Facebook user, Naween Kumar Sah has shared a screengrab of the news channel with a caption “अरे सुनो देवरिया वाली लड़की सप्लायर गिरिजा त्रिपाठी तो भाजपा सांसद कलराज मिश्रा की बहन है” (Hey listen, Deoria’s girl supplier, Girija Tripathi is sister of BJP MP Kalraj Mishra – translated). https://twitter.com/Anu_yadav88/status/1026860327487463424 Times Now also referred to this claim on the basis of a sting operation that the channel had carried out as part of its reportage on the incident.

I got this post on facebook shared by Illogical Indian, Picture claimed that she is Alka Lamba from AAP. Our research on this post is different. First we found that this image is not doctored. But image is not of Alka Lamba, she is VASAI VIRAR Mayor Pravina Thakur from Bahujan Vikas Aghadi (BVA). It seems mayor have seriously taken green environment ride. So she is watering plants despite heavy rain, as image clearly shows people around her taking umbrellas. Disclaimer : socialhoax.com does not support any political parties.

Excellent service by an excellent firm
After 21 years, we had to replace our Carrier heating system with a new one. (I should mention that Allied Services did the original installation for us,) Starting with Richard, we selected our replacement system. When Aaron and Tom did the actual installation, it was handled in a very professional manner. When they were finished, they did an excellent job of cleaning up. As always, we have been pleased with their work and products. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone who is looking for new installation or repair of current system

The FA are expecting a sell-out crowd for tonight’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Slovenia.
England playing in front of a full house of around 90,000 will be a far cry from just a couple of months ago when fed-up Three Lions fans voted with their feet.
The appetite for England was at an all-time low after their World Cup flop.
A record low of 40,181 fans attended England’s first game after they bombed in Brazil against Norway in September.
Hodgson reckons England’s four wins without conceding since their World Cup disaster have slowly helped restore the nation’s faith in his side.
He said: “I’ve always thought our support is fantastic, even in the bad times. It was unfortunate.
“Had we chosen another opponent other than Norway, we might have seen a bigger crowd: a Germany, Italy or Spain.
“There were mitigating circumstances.
“But I’d also like to think the last few performances have been encouraging for people in the street.
“The only way to keep that going is to play well. We know what we want to do, and how we want to play.
“We have to keep that going. Every time you slip up, you slip back.”
Hodgson has also revealed how UEFA blocked his attempt to replace Leighton Baines in his squad for tonight’s clash.
“I’d like to think the last few performances have been encouraging for people in the street”Roy Hodgson
All countries have to submit 23-man squads by 11am the day before games following a new rule brought in ahead of the Euro 2016 qualifiers.
Baines and Kieran Gibbs were on the list handed to UEFA. Manchester United’s Luke Shaw was left out to give him more time to shake off a minor groin strain ahead of Tuesday’s trip to Scotland.
However Hodgson’s plans came a cropper when Baines suffered a hamstring injury in training just after the UEFA deadline passed yesterday and had to be sent back to Everton for treatment.
Arsenal’s Gibbs will now be his only available left-back tonight.
Hodgson said: “I was rather hoping that, because it was only 20 minutes after the event and we went straight on to UEFA, that they’d show sympathy for our request.
“But they said the rule is clear. After 11am, when you’ve put 23 names in, you can’t change it.”
ENGLAND (4-1-3-2): Hart; Chambers, Cahill, Jagielka, Gibbs; Wilshere; Barkley, Sterling, Lallana; Welbeck, Rooney.
SLOVENIA (4-2-3-1): Handanovic; Struna, Cesar, Ili, Brecko; Kurtic, Stevanovic; Kirm, Kampl, Birsa; Novakovic.
REF: Olegario Benquerença (Portugal)
TV: ITV1, 5pm kick-off

One moment of authentic genius was enough here in Belo Horizonte to defeat 90 minutes of extraordinary courage, effort and organisation. Iran, the country whose socks reportedly shrank in the wash and whose preparations were largely derailed by political sanctions, had contained and even threatened to beat the most extravagantly gifted attacking team in the tournament.
It had been a truly heroic performance but then, just as fourth official Norbert Hauata lifted his board to signal five minutes of added time, the ball fell to Lionel Messi. Argentina’s captain and talisman had been negated until that moment but, with a quick shift of his feet, he created a yard of space in front of a tiring Iran defence. It was all that was needed, with his deadly subsequent finish almost inevitable even from outside the penalty area.
Twenty-eight years to the day since his 'Hand of God’ goal against England, Diego Maradona had actually just left the Estadio Mineirao when Messi scored but will have been relieved to learn that Argentina are now safely qualified for the last 16. “I was very happy with the strike - then I heard people screaming and smiling and it was a wonderful,” said Messi. Tehran had been poised to erupt in spontaneous street parties for what would have been the best result in Iran’s entire history but, instead, an abiding memory was of one fan leaving the stadium literally wailing in distress at such a cruel defeat. Earlier, despite completing the fewest passes (114) in any World Cup match for 50 years, Iran had actually created the best chances of the game. Goalkeeper Sergio Romero was Argentina’s best player and the subsequent brilliance of Messi will not completely camouflage another unconvincing performance. “We know we’re not playing as well as expected but I think we’ll reach our real potential,” said Messi.
The team’s formation has become an issue of major controversy, with manager Alejandro Sabella even asked before the match if his authority has been questioned after Messi openly admitted that he preferred to play in a 4-3-3 formation. Sabella was adamant that the discussion about tactics had all been constructive but, aside from his goal, Messi has rarely looked so ineffective.
If England are still building their team around playing Wayne Rooney through the middle, surely Argentina should be doing the same with the world’s best player. Instead, Messi started on the right and Gonzalo Higuain was the pivotal attacking figure, with Sergio Aguero to his left. The match soon settled into an entirely predictable test of whether Argentina could turn more than 70 per cent of ball possession into goals. Against Iran, who had conceded just once in their previous five matches and so diligently drilled by Carlos Queiroz, it was never going to be a formality. Queiroz’s system is nominally 4-2-3-1 but once Argentina had the ball it was only Reza Ghoochannejad, the Charlton striker, who had licence to occasionally roam into the Argentina half. Ángel Di Maria’s intricate dribbling skills fashioned the first chance but his cross travelled harmlessly along Iran’s six-yard ball without an Argentine touch. Fernando Gago then fed Higuain with a clever defence-splitting ball from the right but Alireza Haghighi, the Iran goalkeeper, was alert to quickly come off his line and smother the danger.
Aguero had Argentina’s best chance of the first half, his curling shot initially looked destined for the top corner but more excellent goalkeeping from Haghighi kept the scores level. By the 50th minute, the relentless chanting and singing of Argentina’s fans was descending into whistles of frustration. Twice in the space of only five second-half minutes, Iran might have scored. First Ghoochannejad forced an excellent reflex save from Romero after Pejman Montazeri had exploited space down Argentina’s left. Then Askhan Dejagah was convinced that Iran should have been awarded a penalty when he went down under a challenge from Zabaleta. Replays suggested that the Manchester City full-back had made the faintest of contact with the ball although Queiroz complained that referee Milorad Mazic, as well as Messi, had been the dominant “personality” of the game. Yet even amid the injustice, Iran were visibly growing in confidence and, roared on by the Brazilian neutrals, they began pushing their more illustrious opponents back. A series of corners followed and only a truly wonderful fingertip save from Romero prevented Dejagah from heading Iran into the lead.
When Ghoochannejad was sent clear one-on-one, only for Romero to make another vital save, it even looked like Argentina might be the happier with a draw. But then Messi awoke to devastating effect.

Shooting: I had initially planned to rent two lenses for this trip – a big telephoto and a wide-angle. In an effort to keep the budget under control, however, I only rented one – a 16-35 2.8 Zeiss wide-angle. I’ve used this lens before and been very happy with it, and it proved its worth again.
Having a good wide angle for the narrow streets (and canals) of the old cities and for the vistas from the Pathway of the Gods trail made it the best choice. I don’t think I would have pulled out a big zoom more than once or twice if it had been in my bag.
No pictures, please: The guards are STRICT about pictures in the Sistine Chapel, constantly letting people have it (of course, these people are trying to be sneaky with their cell phones, too.)
That was the only place in the Apostolic Palace (or anywhere else) that I saw the photo guards come down hard, though – virtually everywhere else was very receptive. If you ask the waiters, you can often get some pictures of the cooks working in the kitchen, which can make for some fun shots.
Food in Venice: Small bar/cafés are popular, and it's easy to get a quick sandwich to go, put it in a backpack and have it later. Pizza by the slice is also a popular snack. Take advantage of the small to-go cafes - they are much cheaper than any restaurant.
The coolest single moment: Walking into St. Peter’s Basilica. Just a few steps in, you can stand where Charlemagne was crowned head of the Holy Roman Empire. Turn right, and there's Michelangelo's Pieta.

Majid Al Futtaim Holding LLC plans to proceed with expansion across some of the most troubled countries of the Middle East, tapping the rising disposable income of the region’s growing population.
“We continue to focus on a prudent and sustainable growth strategy,” said Chief Executive Officer Iyad Malas in a statement announcing the full-year earnings of the Dubai-based malls and hotels operator. He confirmed plans to complete this year the Beirut City Center Mall, and to start construction on the Beirut Waterfront project in Lebanon, and the Mall of Egypt in Cairo.
The privately owned company, also known by its acronym MAF, reported a 10 percent increase in revenue to 21.6 billion dirhams ($5.9 billion) in 2012, on higher hotel occupancy and sales at its Carrefour supermarkets, the company said in a statement. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose 7 percent to 3 billion dirhams.
“Rising disposable income and a persistent low interest rate environment in Gulf Cooperation Council states will cause an increase in consumer spending,” Dubai-based Arqaam Capital said in report yesterday about the retail industry in the Middle East and North African region. “Governments in MENA have and will increasingly adjudicate on matters of food and fuel subsidies with the consumer as priority beneficiary, rather than incumbent businesses and private sector commercial interests, in light of the civil unrest of the past two years.”
MAF opened in 2012 its 11th shopping mall and added during the year 14 supermarkets including seven for Carrefour.
It plans to sign in February a three billion Egyptian pound-loan ($450 million) syndicated by a group led by National Bank of Egypt and Banque Misr SAE, to finance the Mall of Egypt, CEO Malas said in a interview.
It plans to work on the expansion of the Maadi City Center project and a mall in Almaza in Cairo, and is in the process of securing permits for a mall in Madinet Nasr, in the suburb of the Egyptian capital, he said. “It might take few months but we expect to start on all these projects in 2013.”
The company is also seeking to purchase plots to build malls in the United Arab Emirates’ cities of Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, and the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh, Malas said.
“We are in an extremely solid position for the next two years,” Treasury Manager Daniele Vecchi said. With debt due this year of less than 1 billion dirhams, the “company won’t need to raise money this year and will do so opportunistically.”
“Clearly as debt comes into maturity in the course of the year we would want to rethink of financing and we would think of the right market debt or bank,” Malas said.

From the new growth of lush green grass to the birth of the first gorgeous, cute and cuddly baby lambs, the Spring season brings with it the hope of new beginnings. March the first heralds the first day of this season of Spring and it continues until the thirty first of May. Summer is next and from the first of June until the thirty first of August our British Summer season settles in. Traditionally packed with long, sunshine filled days, warm evenings outside at the local pub and holidays by the sea. The Summer holidays give children and adults alike a time to replenish their strength, take a break from the gruelling routine of school and enjoy long periods of time outdoors.
The days come and go and the summer gives way to Autumn where just like an adaptable PDF to Excel file the leaves change colours from glorious shades of green to rich reds and sunburnt oranges, eventually becoming brown and even falling off. PDF Tables for example are just one company that can complete this process for you on your computer device at home. From September the first until November the thirtieth the season of Autumn descends like an artist’s palette of ever-changing colours.
From December the first until February the twenty eighth our Winter season begins to bite and brings with it cold frosty mornings and long, dark evenings at home in front of the fire.

The newest addition to the Central Texas biking landscape is Buescher State Park in Smithville. Anyone who has ridden at Rocky Hill Ranch has probably passed by and wondered "do they let bikes in there?" Well, the answer is now yes.
This trail is the work of many volunteers who have given their time to help expand our trail options, so be sure to thank those that have been on the working end of those heavy tools.
Location: Smithville, TX
Directions:Take Route 71 East towards Bastrop. You'll pass through Bastrop and when you get near Smithville, take the exit for 95/153. Go under the highway, heading towards 153 (East). You'll hit the south park entrance after a few thousand feet by KLBJ road.
Technical Level: Low to medium

Busy, busy, busy and it all has to do with motorcycles.
On Sunday, I rode my trike to East Brunswick, NJ for the 11th ride on the Polar Bear Grand Tour. It was 20 degrees and I had to ride a total of 44 miles. Fortunately, the sun was out, the wind was nonexistent, and the roads were clear. I thought I was OK since I had my electric vest and gloves hooked up. But, as the ride progressed, I didn't feel much heat and I slowly realized that my battery connection was not working. Same thing happened last week to my wife and I found out that when the battery had been replaced in the spring, the mechanic had not reconnected the leads to the electrics. I was now waiting for a warmer time to strip off the seat and take a close look at the leads on my own trike. I left early after I took the pictures for the day and hurried home to make a 1:30 p.m. staff meeting of my GWRRA Chapter NJ-F. After that, we all went out to dinner together.
When I returned home, I got a burst of energy and decided to trace down the electrical problem with my electrics. It didn't take long to see that the connections to the battery were all OK. Then I noticed that the cap on the fuse in the line had popped off and the fuse was a bit loose. I repositioned the wiring and fuse holder and snapped it back into place. Then, I got heat through my vest when I tried it out. Guess that was the problem.
Last night I was busy working on the Motorcycle Views site when I heard a strong humming, crackling noise from outside and then everything went black. I mean the entire development of 500 homes went out in an instant. I had to feel my way through the house to get my flashlight. After about 30 minutes in the dark, I decided to take the old car out and look for the problem. I drove through my development and found no lights until I got to the very end of it and saw the shopping center in blazing light. I turned down the main highway and headed back toward home. I could see a truck working on the lines about a block ahead of where I finally turned off. About an hour later, the lights were back on. Tonight the New York TV channel 7 had a helicopter report taken last night over the next major intersection where the lights were out and the cops were directing traffic. Anyway, that incident really put a kink in my work schedule last night.
Today, I decided that I wanted to create a newsletter for the site and spent about six hours getting it setup. Now my site has a newsletter subscription box and the software behind it to handle the complete newsletter job. I was able to find a company on the Internet that could do the whole job for a reasonable price. If you intend to stick around with me as I continue to build the Motorcycle Views Web site, please subscribe to the newsletter. I plan to use it to point you to the new stuff as it's created and to hot forum discussions. Some people have told me that they miss my newsletters on the old site because they gave them a reminder to take a look at the site and forums. My new newsletter will continue this reminder service.
So, please look at the Motorcycle Views site. It's changing and growing daily. I've just added a Tattoo Gallery based on the best tats from my old gallery. Got a tat of your own? Send me a picture. Take a look at the Tattoo Gallery. And, don't forget to sign up for the Motorcycle Views Newsletter.
Also, if you have a big site, consider linking to me. Right now I'm competing with my old links on Google and they were very numerous and extensive. It's hard for me, the little guy on a new site, to compete with me, the big guy on the old site. The day is coming when the old site will be taken down and all my links will be gone. It's sad to see so much work go down the tubes but that's life I guess.

Repeat medication is normally issued in sufficient quantity for 28 days. Prescriptions can be repeated for as long as they are authorised by the clinician. To request a repeat prescription you can:
- Request the required items through the Online Patient Access system.
- By phoning the Medicines Order Line on 01246 588860 between the hours of 9.30am – 2.30pm Monday – Friday
- By handing in your request over the counter to the reception team no more than 5 days before your medication is due.
A minimum of 1 week’s notice is required between requesting and collecting all prescriptions so that it can be prepared and signed by the doctor.
Electronic Prescription Service
If you wish, you can request that your prescription is forwarded electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) allows prescriptions to be sent direct to pharmacies through IT systems used in GP surgeries. This will save you or your pharmacist from having to collect your paper prescription from the surgery. Eventually EPS will remove the need for most paper prescriptions. Please inform your pharmacy or our receptionist that you wish to nominate the pharmacy for your electronic prescriptions and we will set this up for you.

The very first official Gundam shop has finally opened in the Kansai region, and it can certainly give its Kanto counterparts a run for their money, as this new store, called the Gundam Square, features a dynamic monument to the Gundam franchise’s most iconic rivalry.
Measuring in at 5 metres in height, the monument features a duel that many Gundam fans are very familiar with – between Char Aznable’s dreaded Red Zaku II commander unit, and Amuro Ray’s legendary White Devil of a mobile suit, the RX-78-2 Gundam. It can be found right in front of the new Gundam Square, which can be found at the EXPOCITY Osaka.
Though it may not be as tall as the 18-metre life-size RX-78-2 in front of Diver City Odaiba in Tokyo, this display can also be quite impressive at night.
Bandai’s YouTube channel has also streamed a video, which gives a nice preview of the new Gundam Square, together with the 5m monument:
As you can see in the video, The Gundam Square also features a Gundam Cafe, which serves some scrumptious Gundam meals and drinks. Inside the store, it also features a 1/10 scale version of the Gundam Barbatos from the latest addition to the franchise, Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.

Miami Tax Roll Jumps 25
Written by Deserae del Campo on February 2, 2006
By Deserae del Campo
Property value in Miami is skyrocketing. This year’s city tax roll hit $27.7 billion, up from $22.2 billion last year, with the city due $212 million in tax revenue.
"I believe our taxable value will keep increasing by the double-digits … until maybe 2009 or 2009, where it will eventually level off," said Larry Spring, city chief of strategic planning and budgeting.
Burgeoning construction pushed rolls up about $1 billion this year, 80% to 90% of that from the city’s building boom, Mr. Spring said. "This $1 billion includes condo development, building of new homes within the city, adding additions to current homes and rehabilitated buildings in Miami."
The increase from last year also includes $4 billion-plus from higher assessed values for existing property.
"An example of this can be the sale of a property from seller to buyer – the person buying now has to pay the new property-tax assessments on the home," Mr. Spring said.
Assessed values can rise a maximum 3% a year for those with $25,000 homestead exemptions. But when the property is sold, the county increases its assessment to true value, which could be a substantial jump because property values have been rising at double-digit levels annually.
The 3% ceiling doesn’t apply to commercial properties or residences lacking homestead exemptions such as vacation homes.
The city expects the condo boom to add about $9 million in taxes, money that will finance city operations such as police, fire rescue and garbage pickup. City records show 376 current development projects in Miami at construction costs of $29 billion.
"Not all the projects will be built," Mr. Spring said, "and I only see maybe $10 billion or $12 billion in construction projects being completed in the future."

Sunset Trailer Park discusses code violations with council
By Jared Speckman
Roughly 10 residents of Sunset Trailer Park met with the city council last week to voice their intentions to work with the city to bring the park back to code.
Eric Leroux spoke on behalf of the tenants, explaining that he has worked extensively with councilman John Norman.
Sunset Trailer Park does not currently have a valid permit that it needs to operate within the city limits. The permit expired at the end of the 2012 calendar year and the owner never filed for a new permit, which costs $100. Both the city and the tenants have attempted to contact the owner, Henry Menardo Coconi, in California, to no avail.

Words from the Heart for Wednesday August 7th, 2019
Come near, you nations, and listen; pay attention, you peoples! Let the earth hear, and all that is in it, the world, and all that comes out of it!
Isaiah 34:1 (NIV)
Justice at Last
Canada’s system of courts is complex. Each province and territory has its own courts, as well as courts that have national jurisdiction. The Supreme Court of Canada presides over the entire system. The courts’ primary task is administering justice – that is, ensuring that disputes are settled and crimes are prosecuted fairly and in accordance with Canada’s legal and constitutional structure. The federal government appoints and pays judges for the superior courts in each province, judges at the federal level, and administrates the Supreme Court of Canada.
We live in a world of great injustice. If you aren’t smart enough, or good looking enough, you may be bullied as a child and ostracized as an adult. If you are born into a Christian family, or become a follower of Jesus in many countries, you will be unjustly persecuted. If your skin colour isn’t just right, in too many parts of the globe you will face discrimination. Far too many innocent children are trafficked into the sex trade, or given a weapon and forced to join an army. And we wonder if the God of compassion sees all of this. Isaiah 34 leaves no doubt. It begins with these words: “Come near, you nations, and listen; pay attention, you peoples! Let the earth hear, and all that is in it, the world, and all that comes out of it.” God is calling the nations to Himself, but not to bless them. The rest of the chapter deals with God pouring out His justice on those who mistreat those He loves the most. There is coming a judgment day. There is only one way to escape – trusting Jesus Christ as your Saviour, out of which will come a life of obedience, compassion and justice.
These have been words from the heart.

The term Dosha in Samskrit refers to ‘a fault, defect or weak point’ in general. It is also used to indicate someone’s noxious quality, crime, guilt or offense. However, in the context of Ayurveda, this term ‘Dosha’ by default refers to the 3 humors or bio energies in the body that control entire functioning of the body. According to Ayurveda, Sharira doshas and Manas doshas are separate entities that control the function of body and mind respectively. Vata, Pitta and Kapha are 3 sharira doshas while Raja and Tama are 2 Manas doshas. All of them have a some specific role and function which is vital for life.
वायुः पित्तं कफश्चोक्तः शारीरो दोषसङ्ग्रहः|
मानसः पुनरुद्दिष्टो रजश्च तम एव च|| (Char Samh 1.57)
vāyuḥ pittaṁ kaphaścōktaḥ śārīrō dōṣasaṅgrahaḥ|
mānasaḥ punaruddiṣṭō rajaśca tama ēva ca||
Sharira Dosha or Tridosha
Vayu is dry, cold, light, subtle, mobile, non-slimy and rough in its characteristics and can be pacified by drugs that have opposite properties (i.e., creamy or oily, heavy and thick in their property). Pitta is mildly unctuous, hot, sharp, viscous, sour, mobile and pungent, and can readily be pacified by drugs and food articles having opposite properties. Kapha is heavy and dense, cold, soft, unctuous, sweet, immobile and slimy, and can be subsided by drugs and food articles possessing opposite properties. cha su 1.61,
Doshas and Panchamahabhutas (Association between Doshas and 5 basic elements)
Significance of Doshas
Manas commonly correlated with mind is one of the integral components of one’s life. Vedas and Bhagvadgita has clearly mentioned that Satva, Raja and Tama are the 3 properties of manas which carry individual significance. Among these 3 properties Ayurveda makes differentiation and considers Satva as Guna (Good quality) of mind while Raja and Tama are regarded as Doshas of mind.

It's Wednesday again and I am once again joining in with Jamie Ridler at http://www.jamieridlerstudios.ca. This week Jamie asks, "What do you wish to let go of?"
As usual, Jamie's prompts are so timely. Yesterday, I wrote about my fears and insecurities about starting my own handcrafted gifts business. I have so many fears and insecurities in life, I just wish I could let go of them and just be secure in myself and in my abilities.
It's kind of funny how some of these wishes all fit together. For me, last weeks wish about being loved and this weeks wish about letting go, go together. I think if I could love myself unconditionally, I could let go of my insecurities and my fears. On the flip side, if I could let go of fears and insecurities, maybe I could love myself unconditionally.
Maybe, if I let go of my fears and insecurities, I would take more chances in general. I would talk to people more often and maybe make more friends, rather than just a few acquaintances that I have.
My fears and insecurities have always help me back! It's time to let go and I guess to quote AA, let God, or what one perceives to be God.

Tar Heels making push for Virginia back
Smithfield (Va.) running back Dyrell Roberts is on the wish list of several college programs for 2008, and he has been getting plenty of visitors in recent weeks. On Wednesday, UNC running backs coach Ken Browning visited Roberts' school.
"UNC came today (Wednesday); UConn has been coming; Maryland came; Marshall came; a whole lot of people have came," he said.
Browning indicated to Roberts' high school coaches how much the Tar Heels like his potential, and that they would like to see him play his college football in Chapel Hill.

У меня для вас две новости. Хорошая и плохая.
На почту пришло письмо.
Закрытая бета теперь доступна, но доступ на неё придется покупать.
With Alpha 6 on its way and our ongoing work on new features, we feel the time for getting Worlds Adrift into Closed Beta via Steam Early Access is coming, and the date is end of April (a month or so later than we expected, but still around the corner). Getting to Closed Beta is just the start of the journey: you’ve seen how much we’ve been updating the game, and we very much intend to carry on doing so. If anything, we’ll get faster at adding new features and bugfixing following your feedback and ideas, thanks to our increased ability to reinvest into the game with the backing from Beta players.
We do want to address a specific issue, though, that we’ve mentioned before: We’ve all seen time and time again large multiplayer games suffer from not being able to handle the extra load at launch, and we really want to make sure this doesn’t happen to Worlds Adrift. These problems are inherent to the genre, but we really want to ensure the rapid influx of players coming in all at once doesn’t create queueing problems, server instability, lost progress, etc.
So our solution is straightforward: we’ll make the game available to batches of players. Once we can guarantee that current players are having a good experience, we’ll allow more players into the game with a new batch of keys. While this ensures those playing will have a smoother ride, the side-effect is that not everyone will be able to play the game on day one.
To mitigate this restriction, we’ll communicate the planned release of new keys first to you, our dedicated community, here on our forums and through the email newsletter. We’d be nowhere without you guys, so we want to make sure you’ll hear about more keys ahead of the release, with enough of a heads up to grab a copy.
We’re intending this phase, with its staggered batches, to last between three and four months, after which we’ll finally open the doors to everyone. Then we’ll reset the servers one last time and move the game out of Closed Beta – but Beta players will be able to keep special items that will not be available again after the reset. They’ll also get a bit of a headstart for being a part of the Closed Beta!
No plan ever survives the heat of battle unscathed, but this feels like the right thing to do in order to allow the best possible experience for everyone.

Boomerang is set to become the only UK online Video Game rental site that aims to offer the customer the service they really want.
Instead of adding games to their list without knowing whether they will receive the titles they really want to play, Boomerang customers can, for example, always receive their most wanted games if they wish or get the fastest turnaround possible. They now have a choice of four different Service Options.
Boomerang’s Managing Director, Nick Palczynski says “We know from the feedback about DVD and Video Games rental services that customers love the value for money aspect, however, not all customers receive the service they would really like, due to stock availability and other factors. Essentially, our competitors offer a service that’s based on “one-size-fits-all”.”
“We have always been known for our excellent service, but what we...

It’s all about good fall cookin’. [Yes, I said cookin’.] Although the weather is still not perfect by my standards, there was a bite in the air today that got me excited! So yesterday, I made one of my old time favorites, chicken with cream mushroom sauce and mashed potatoes. This was one of my favorite dishes as a kid and it always made me feel warm and cozy inside. This chicken recipe has a Claire twist, of course, and half the fat and calories as the original [and still uses heavy, whole cream!] I know I’ve kind of gone comfort food/fall nuts on the blogs, but I just can’t help it. After the summer we had, some delicious and warm cozy comfort food and weather below the 100’s just makes me happy. And as I’ve said before, happiness is the key to life and good health, both mentally and physically.
Skinny Mashed Potatoes
- 6 medium size red skin potatoes
- 1/4 cup skim milk
- 2 tbsp. margarine
- salt and pepper to taste
- Fill a large pot or dutch oven with 6 cups of water and set to a boil.
- After watching potatoes, quarter them
- Place quartered halves into water and boil until softened [be sure they aren’t too soft, i.e. falling apart at the touch]. Drain and then place back into original pot.
- Pour milk and margarine into the pot and beat until whipped to your preferred consistency
- salt and pepper to taste!
Nutritional Information: 315 calories, 11 grams of fat and 5 grams of protein.
Cream of Mushroom Chicken

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced shiitake andmushroom caps
- 1/2 cup sliced baby portobello mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons dry vermouth, or dry white wine
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, or scallion greens
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Season chicken with salt and pepper then place into the pan. Cook, turning once or twice, for about 15 minutes. Take off pan and keep warm. [Place in a preheated oven].
- Slice up green onion and mushrooms and measure out 2 tbsp. green onions [remaining can be used as a garnish]
- Place onions and mushrooms into the pan, cooking until the mushrooms are tender, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in wine and simmer until almost evaporated. Then pour in broth, cooking until reduced by about half, or 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add cream and stir.
- Return the chicken to the pan and simmer until the sauce is thicker. Cover chicken with sauce and serve.
Nutritional Information per chicken breast: 275 calories, 15 grams of fat, 25 grams of protein and 1 gram of fiber.

Then he got his ass beaten in New England again. Every year he's the top MVP candidate. Every year he's supposed to be the best. Every year he's going to carry the Colts to the Super Bowl. And every single year he goes to New England and gets his ass beaten. And his brother's a whiny little bitch." -A friend of mine, on Peyton Manning

There’s nothing finer than being in Carolina,
Especially when the evening is cool and breezy —
What a perfect night to bring out the grill,
And try something spicy and cheesy!
I mentioned in my previous post, Rustic Chicken Stir-Fry, that I was preparing to move South of the Mason-Dixie line in the upcoming weeks. Well, I’m thrilled to say — I MADE IT!! 🙂 There is something so peaceful about the South, and it inspires me to be in the kitchen trying new recipes and creating away. I love being able to cook for my family and friends again, and my heart is overflowing with happiness. It is so wonderful to be back home!
Tonight’s creation is a mixture of 3 recipes I found on Pinterest + my own little twist to create this meal – Honey Jalapeño Chicken with Quinoa Tex Mex. Any leftovers I might have will be stuffed into heads of lettuce and eaten as lettuce wraps during the week for our lunches. Dinner + Lunch out of one meal prep? I love it when it works out like that!
3 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon + 1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons + 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped finely
2 jalapeño, chopped finely
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon honey (local honey, raw and unprocessed if you can find it)
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 cup rinsed organic quinoa
1 15 oz can reduced sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
1 15 oz can corn with poblano peppers
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes, all natural
2 cups sweet peppers, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 cup green onions, chopped
3 cups water
1 package of taco seasoning
1 package Mexican Four Cheese, shredded
The Quinoa Tex Mex
In a crockpot, add the rinsed quinoa, black beans, corn, tomatoes, sweet peppers, and yellow onion. Once the veggies are in the crockpot, add 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of chili powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cumin. Pour in 3 cups of water, and stir until everything is well mixed.
Cook on high 2 1/2 – 3 hours, or until all the water has been evaporated. Be sure to stir the mixture occasionally while cooking.
Once all the water has been evaporated and everything is cooked thoroughly, add the taco seasoning package, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 cup of chopped green onions, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. Mix well together.
Serve with a dollop of shredded cheese on top.
The Honey Jalapeño Chicken
Take the chicken breasts and cut off any excess fat and skin. Rinse well and set aside to air dry.
Over a bowl, grate the entire lime for the lime zest. Once done zesting, slice the lime in half and squeeze the lime juice into the bowl; this should be about 1/4 cup of lime juice. Add another 1/4 cup of lime juice to the bowl (I used one of the pre-packaged bottles of lime juices).
To the lime mixture, add 4 tablespoons of chopped cilantro, the 2 chopped jalapeños, 2 1/2 teaspoons of minced garlic, honey, salt, and 1 teaspoon of chili powder. Whisk the marinade mixture well.
Add the chicken to the marinade and marinate for 2 hours or longer in the fridge.
Once the Quinoa Tex Mex’s water has just about evaporated, its time to put the Honey Jalapeño Chicken on the grill. Once the chicken is on the grill, spoon the marinade on top to add more depth of flavor to the meat as it cooks. I ended up grilling the chicken over a low heat for about 26-30 minutes. I highly recommend using a meat thermometer when grilling. Our chicken wasn’t fully ready in the first picture (we needed it to be 165-180 degrees), so it stayed on the grill for a while longer.
I thought this tasted delicious, especially since I combined recipes and made my own creation out of it. The chicken was sweet but gave a punch of heat. The quinoa mixture was an amazing combination of flavors and textures; it almost tasted like a vegetarian chili. So good!! I can’t wait to eat this for my lunches during the week!
I hope you love this recipe as much as I did.

A celebration of consecrated life hosted by the Archdiocese of Chicago, turned out to be more than a gathering of different religious orders. Instead, they were challenged to explore the mission of reconciliation in their lives and ministries.
The event took place Saturday and drew more than 150 professed religious — including a table of Viatorians. Together, they explored the power of reconciliation through the lens of radical hospitality, restorative justice and peace circles.
Fr. David Kelly, director of Precious Blood Ministry of Reconciliation on Chicago’s South Side, opened the afternoon. He described how missionaries with Precious Blood are working to build up a neighborhood impacted by violence and incarceration — and make it a place of healing and hope. Underlying their work is an attitude of radical hospitality, he said, which can lead to restorative justice.
Ryan Lents followed. He leads the Archdiocese’s Office of Human Dignity and Solidarity, and its work in recognizing the dignity of all people and reaching out to those living on the margins. Under Lents’ facilitation, groups broke into peace circles to share their views of how they can respond to these challenges.
Finally, Cardinal Blase Cupich addressed the group. As religious, he said, they are called to walk with people who are hurting, and accompany people living on the margins. Through their ministries, he encouraged them to adopt an attitude of acceptance and non-judgement and work toward ways of bringing about reconciliation.

- Can the first-team offense show any signs of life?
In their first pre-season action together, both of the Vikings first-team offensive drives ended in punts. Something many did not want to see.
Sustaining drives, while also generating the ball down field is some check boxes that some want to see fulfilled. Getting points, whether it’s a field goal or even punching it into pay dirt is something else that others want to see in their matchup tonight against the Seattle Seahawks.
The teams offense has been one of its biggest weaknesses in previous seasons. There are many new parts on the depth chart, even a somewhat new play-caller in Pat Shurmur who will be in his first full season calling the shots, it may take some time to see success.
- Will the offensive line learn from their Week 1 mistakes?
After surrendering two sacks in the pre-season opener against the Buffalo Bills, will the offensive line learn from their previous technichal mistakes?
With the addition of Riley Reiff, Mike Remmers, and moving up in the draft to select Pat Elflein, the unit was one of the biggest emphasis of the off-season. The first-team unit was underwhelming, but the five offensive lineman up front take time to develop chemistry amongst one another.
The second and third-team units played well. They consistently provided a clean pocket to Case Keenum and Taylor Heinicke. Rookies in Elflein and Danny Isidora shined, while the prized free agent addition of Remmers got off to a rough start in his Vikings debut.
We are still unsure of the status of Reiff’s back injury and if he will see any pre-season action before the Sept. 11 season opener vs. the New Orleans Saints.
- Can the first-team run defense improve?
Last week, there were a countless number of times where the first-team defense gave up significant gains in the running game. Whether it was Lesean McCoy or Tyrod Taylor, the run lanes seem to be easy to find.
Facing a QB who has the ability to create outside of the pocket and run when necessary has always seemed to be the teams biggest defensive weakness.
Matched up against Russell Wilson tonight, keep an eye on how the defense adjusts to yet another signal-caller with similar traits.
- Who from the 2017 draft class will continue to shine?
Tashawn Bower — Arguably the biggest winner from the Vikings pre-season opener, Bower made his presence felt. Recording his first career NFL sack and consistently setting the edge against the run.
Bower has multiple tools that can be developed. Will he be able to continue to flash or will he come back down to Earth in Week 2?
All eyes will be on him.
Eric Wilson — After having a fantastic NFL debut, Wilson looks to continue to build on impressive showing from last week. He has generated a buzz after his early success, collecting eight tackles and being all over the field.
Wilson seems to already be the heartbeat of the second-team and they follow his lead. Tremendously good traits to see considering that he was an undrafted free agent.
- Who will emerge in the specialist battle?
The brewing punter and kicker battles have went sort of under the radar at training camp, but things seem to be heating up. None of the competitors have separated themselves from one another.
Special teams coordinator Mike Priefer said in his Wednesday press conference that “the kicking and punting competition is very even and it might play through all four pre-season games.”
- Bonus Thoughts
— Safety Andrew Sendejo has missed practice the entire week, meaning that second-year safety Jayron Kearse will most likely fill the void on the first-team in his absence.
With the first-team unit, it will be interesting to see how comfortable Kearse looks after standing out in the opener with the second-team defense.
— WR Laquon Treadwell returned to practice on Tuesday and reportedly took first-team reps. Hopefully the 2016 first-round selection will see his first action of the pre-season tonight.
— Alex Boone has been sidelined with what’s being called a knee injury. In practice this week, the first-team offensive line has consisted of an interior of Nick Easton (left guard), Pat Elflein (center) and Joe Berger (right guard).

As we’ve already mentioned on Dear Scotland, the Scots invented rap music, so it is no surprise that Edinburgh’s Young Fathers are widely tipped to be the next hip hop superstars to emerge from the UK. Young Fathers will be making their first appearance at SXSW in 2010.
Vic Galloway on Young Fathers:
Scotland and Hip-Hop don’t seem to be obvious bed-fellows, but I’d like to think this will change in the near future. As a lover of all kinds of music across all genres, I’ve been ranting about Scottish rap for years now. Some laugh, some cry… but some genuinely get it!
Until now, it’s probably safe to say that there hasn’t been an obvious star or crew to lead the charge and open the door for others. Big-up to Profisee, Eastborn, Loki, Butterscotch, Respek BA and The Freestyle Master — all of whom get busy on the microphone and need some serious props for their skills and lyrics. Check them out when you can and see why I reckon they should all be stars.
However a certain Edinburgh trio, Young Fathers seem to have the lyrics, the production, the dance-moves and ‘the look’ to burst through and put the Urban scene from north of the border on the map. Like the Beastie Boys but from Auld Reekie(!), they blow up the spot with their brand of psychedelic, electro, party Hip-Hop.
I’ve put them on at gigs, booked them live in session and recommended them to other Radio 1 DJ’s over the last year, and the response has been awesome! They’ve hooked up with dance gurus Simian Mobile Disco and will hopefully drop their killer debut LP in 2010. If there’s any justice, they’re gonna be massive very, very soon!
YF comprise Ally, Kayus and G three twenty year olds from Edinburgh.
They came together five years ago after meeting at an under 18 hip hop club night and were immediately signed to Black Sugar Records in Edinburgh, Scotland. They became Young Fathers in 2008.
Their first recordings were made in a bedroom cupboard using a plastic microphone from Argos, £10 music software and a karaoke machine.
The group share a common approach of going against the grain and live by a never ‘take ourselves too seriously’ attitude. They also have a determined mantra to find new ways to reflect what goes on around their lives and the effect it has on being young and living in the revolutionary world that is “today”.
In 2009 YF have been busy developing and building their profile. They’ve performed shows and festivals including, Sonar (Spain) T in the Park,Wakestock .Berlin with Vice,Lovebox ,Cazfest and Creamfields. They have toured with Esser and supported The Noisettes, Dizzy Rascal,Amanda Blank and Yo Majesty.

Throughout his life, Michel Foucault’s concept of authenticity meant looking at situations where people lived dangerously and flirted with death, the site where creativity originated. In the tradition of Friedrich Nietzsche and Georges Bataille, Foucault had embraced the artist who pushed the limits of rationality and he wrote with great passion in defense of irrationalities that broke new boundaries.
In 1978, Foucault found such transgressive powers in the revolutionary figure of Ayatollah Khomeini and the millions who risked death as they followed him in the course of the Revolution. He knew that such “limit” experiences could lead to new forms of creativity and he passionately threw in his support. This was Foucault’s only first-hand experience of revolution and it led to his most extensive set of writings on a non-Western society.
Foucault first visited Iran in September 1978 and then met with Khomeini at his exile residence outside Paris in October. Foucault traveled to Iran for a second visit in November, when the revolutionary movement against the shah was reaching its zenith. During these two trips, Foucault was commissioned as a special correspondent of the leading Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, with his articles appearing on page one of that paper.
Foucault’s interest in the Iranian Revolution was much more than a journalistic curiosity. His earlier work had shown a consistent though subtle affinity for the Orient and the more traditional social norms of the East, as well as a messianic preoccupation with Eastern thought. Foucault believed that the demise of colonialism by the 1960s had brought Western thought to a turning point and to a crisis. During a 1978 encounter at a Zen temple in Japan, Foucault remarked that this was “the end of the era of Western philosophy. Thus if philosophy of the future exists, it must be born outside of Europe or equally born in consequence of meetings and impacts between Europe and non-Europe” (1999, p. 113).
Later that year, Foucault went to Iran “to be there at the birth of ideas.” He wrote that the new “Muslim” style of politics could signal the beginning of a new form of “political spirituality,” not just for the Middle East, but also for Europe, which had adopted a secular politics ever since the French Revolution. As he wrote in Corriere della sera in November 1978:
There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. And these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than “politicians” think. We have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. Ideas do not rule the world. But it is because the world has ideas (and because it constantly produces them) that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think. This is the direction we want these “journalistic reports” to take. An analysis of thought will be linked to an analysis of what is happening. Intellectuals will work together with journalists at the point where ideas and events intersect. (cited in Eribon 1991, p. 282)
In addition to Corriere della Sera, Foucault wrote on Iran in French newspapers and journals, such as the daily Le Monde and the widely circulated leftist weekly Nouvel Observateur. Iranian student activists translated at least one of his essays into Persian and posted it on the walls of Tehran University in the fall of 1978. In spring 1979, the Iranian Writers Association published an interview with Foucault from the previous September on the concept of revolution and the role of the intellectual. All of Foucault’s writings and interviews on Iran are published in English in their entirety for the first time in the appendix to this volume, alongside those of some of his critics.
Foucault staked out a series of distinctive political and theoretical positions on the Iranian Revolution. In part because only three of his fifteen articles and interviews on Iran have appeared in English, they have generated little discussion in the English-speaking world. But this itself is curious. Why, given the wide accessibility in English of even his interviews and other minor writings, have these texts not previously been made available to the English-speaking public, especially given the wide interest in Foucault by scholars of non-European societies?
Many scholars of Foucault view these writings as aberrant or the product of a political mistake. We will suggest that Foucault's writings on Iran were in fact closely related to his general theoretical writings on the discourses of power and the hazards of modernity. We will also argue that Foucault’s experience in Iran left a lasting impact on his subsequent oeuvre and that one cannot understand the sudden turn in Foucault’s writings in the 1980s without recognizing the significance of the Iranian episode and his more general preoccupation with the Orient.
Long before most other commentators, Foucault understood that Iran was witnessing a singular kind of revolution. Early on, he predicted that this revolution would not follow the model of other modern revolutions. He wrote that it was organized around a sharply different concept, which he called “political spirituality.” Foucault recognized the enormous power of the new discourse of militant Islam, not just for Iran, but for the world. He showed that the new Islamist movement aimed at a fundamental cultural, social, and political break with the modern Western order, as well as with the Soviet Union and China:
As an “Islamic” movement, it can set the entire region afire, overturn the most unstable regimes, and disturb the most solid. Islam — which is not simply a religion, but an entire way of life, an adherence to a history and a civilization — has a good chance to become a gigantic powder keg, at the level of hundreds of millions of men…. In fact, it is also important to recognize that the demand for the “legitimate rights of the Palestinian people” hardly stirred the Arab peoples. What would it be if this cause encompassed the dynamism of an Islamic movement, something much stronger than those with a Marxist, Leninist, or Maoist character? (this edition, p. 241)
He also noted presciently that such a discourse would “alter the global strategic equilibrium” (this edition, p. 241)
Foucault’s experience in Iran contributed to a turning point in his thought. In the late 1970s, he was moving from a preoccupation with technologies of domination to a new interest in what he termed the technologies of the self, as the foundation for a new form of spirituality and resistance to power. We argue that the Iranian Revolution had a lasting impact on his late writing in several ways.
In his Iran writings, Foucault emphasized the deployment of certain instruments of modernity as means of resistance. He called attention to the innovative uses Islamists made of overseas radio broadcasts and cassettes. This blending of more traditional religious discourses with modern means of communication had helped to galvanize the revolutionary movement and ultimately paralyzed the modern and authoritarian Pahlavi regime.
Foucault was also fascinated by the appropriation of Shi'ite myths of martyrdom and rituals of penitence by large parts of the revolutionary movement and their willingness to face death in their single-minded goal of overthrowing the Pahlavi regime. Later, in his discussion of an “aesthetics of existence” — practices that could be refashioned for our time and serve as the foundation for a new form of spirituality — Foucault often referred to Greco-Roman texts and early Christian practices. However, many of these practices also had a strong resemblance to what he saw in Iran.
Additionally, many scholars have wondered about Foucault’s sudden turn to the ancient Greco-Roman world in volumes II and III of History of Sexuality, and his interest in uncovering male homosexual practices in this era. We would suggest an “Oriental” appropriation here as well. Foucault’s description of a male “ethics of love” in the Greco-Roman world greatly resembles some existing male homosexual practices of the Middle East and North Africa.
Foucault’s foray into the Greco-Roman world might, therefore, have been related to his longstanding fascination with ars erotica and especially the erotic arts of the East, since Foucault sometimes combined the discussion of sexual practices of the contemporary East with those of the classical Greco-Roman society.
The Iranian experience also raises some questions about Foucault’s overall approach to modernity. First, it is often assumed that Foucault’s suspicion of utopianism, his hostility to grand narratives and universals, and his stress on difference and singularity rather than totality, would make him less likely than his predecessors on the Left to romanticize an authoritarian politics that promised radically to refashion from above the lives and thought of a people, for its ostensible benefit.
However, his Iran writings showed that Foucault was not immune to the type of illusions that so many Western leftists had held toward the Soviet Union and later, China. Foucault did not anticipate the birth of yet another modern state where old religious technologies of domination could be refashioned and institutionalized; this was a state that propounded a traditionalist ideology, but equipped itself with modern technologies of organization, surveillance, warfare, and propaganda.
Second, Foucault's highly problematic relationship to feminism becomes more than an intellectual lacuna in the case of Iran. On a few occasions, Foucault reproduced statements he had heard from religious figures on gender relations in a possible future Islamic Republic, but he never questioned the “separate but equal” message of the Islamists. Foucault also dismissed feminist premonitions that the Revolution was headed in a dangerous direction, and he seemed to regard such warnings as little more than Orientalist attacks on Islam, thereby depriving himself of a more balanced perspective toward the events in Iran.
At a more general level, Foucault remained insensitive toward the diverse ways in which power affected women, as against men. He ignored the fact that those most traumatized by the premodern disciplinary practices were often women and children, who were oppressed in the name of tradition, obligation, or honor. In chapter one, we root his indifference to Iranian women in the problematic stances toward gender in his better-known writings, while in chapters three and four, we discuss Foucault’s response to attacks by Iranian and French feminists on his Iran writings themselves.
Third, an examination of Foucault’s writings provides more support for the frequently articulated criticism that his one-sided critique of modernity needs to be seriously reconsidered, especially from the vantage point of many non-Western societies. Indeed, there are some indications that Foucault himself was moving in such a direction.
In his 1984 essay “What Is Enlightenment?” Foucault put forth a position on the Enlightenment that was more nuanced than before, also moving from a two-pronged philosophy concerned with knowledge and power to a three-pronged one that included ethics. However, the limits of his ethics of moderation with regard to gender and sexuality need to be explored and this is the subject of the last chapter of this book.
As against Foucault, some French leftists were very critical of the Iranian Revolution early on. Beginning in December 1978 with a series of articles that appeared on the front page of Le Monde, the noted Middle East scholar and leftist commentator Maxime Rodinson, known for his classic biography of Muhammad, published some hard-hitting critiques of Islamism in Iran as a form of “semi-archaic fascism” (this volume, p. 233). As Rodinson later revealed, he was specifically targeting Foucault in these articles, which drew on Max Weber’s notion of charisma, Marx’s concepts of class and ideology, and a range of scholarship on Iran and Islam.
In March 1979, Foucault’s writings on Iran came under increasing attack in the wake of the new regime’s executions of homosexual men and especially the large demonstrations by Iranian women on the streets of Tehran against Khomeini’s directives for compulsory veiling. In addition, France’s best-known feminist, the existentialist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir, protested the Khomeini regime’s suppression of women’s rights and sent a message of solidarity to Iranian women (this volume, pp. 246-247). However, Foucault refused to respond to the new attacks, issuing only a mild criticism of human rights in Iran that refrained from any mention of women’s rights or gay rights, before lapsing into silence on Iran.

The false sense of security with regard to iOS apps partly stems from Apple’s stable fame in safety.

Per prior reviews, Apple may plan to introduce 5G to the iPhone and iPad Pro in 2020 as effectively.

Create class for Unpacker
Note: Since we now have UCESB doing the unpacking and mapping, there shouldn't be any UNPACK structure in R3BRoot anymore.
Class for a detector unpacker has to derive from FairUnpack parent abstract class. Naming convention is: "R3B", followed by detector name, followed by "Unpack". Derived class has to override following public methods:
Bool_t DoUnpack(Int_t* data, Int_t size);
and a protected method:
In addition, standard constructor has to have MBS sub-event parameters (integers: type, subType, procId, subCrate, control), which have to be passed to the base class standard constructor.
Create Data structure
Data class has to be derived from TObject base class, and contains relevant private members of simple types (Int_t, Long_t, Double_t) with public accessors to them and standard constructor. Naming convention for the class: "R3B", followed by detector name, followed by data type ("RawHit", "CalHit", "Digi"). Classes describing data objects belong to folder r3broot/r3bdata/"DETECTOR_NAME"Data/.
Public function Init() is called by the FairRoot steering class before processing the data, and should implement necessary initialisation.
Output of the unpacker is stored to the ROOT file using FairRootManager singleton class. Function Register() has to contain:
FairRootManager::Instance()->Register("LandRawHit", "Land", fRawData, kTRUE);
and a call to the Register() method needs to be placed in Init() implementation.
Using the values of MBS sub-event parameters parsed to the standard constructor, framework assigns a sub-event to the proper unpacker. Function DoUnpack() is called once per sub-event and provides access to input data in terms of array of double words (32 bit each) and size of the array (in double words).
The data is decoded using bit patterns matching the lay-out of the sub-event, and extracted values are stored in the output data structures:
Reset of output data
Public function Reset() is called by the framework prior to processing an event, and has to clear the array of output data from previous event:
fNHits = 0;
Using output of Unpacker
The data produced by a detector unpacker can be accessed from a user-defined task, which is described in this tutorial.
