This past week has been a total mix bag! There were plans, celebrations, exciting news, accidents & last minute adventures. Above all, I cannot believe how much I have shifted mentally. Waking up this morning, I couldn't believe how well I handled situations that were supposed to 'stress' me out & how much one single outing has occupied so much of my brain space (totally unexpected as well).
Photo taken in Bar Lafayette in the Brookfield Place
Friday night, I went out with some work/uni girls to a property function that was organised by the young property professionals for under 35's in the industry. Drinks & nibbles were organised at The Terrace Hotel where we mingled with others in the industry. It was a great success! And the Terrace Hotel looks INCREDIBLE since the renovation. If you're a interior nerd like myself, you will love this place. Exposed brick (like the wall I snapped at Bar Lafayette the night before), wide timber floorboards and the most beautiful wallpaper in the dining area. Their dinner menu looks pretty damn delicious too!
Saturday afternoon, when I was only 1 minute away from meeting a friend for a coastal walk, I got swiped by a 4WD. Luckily we were approaching the lights so it wasn't as bad as it could of been. Yeah, it's a total inconvenience taking my car into the panel beaters twice in one week to get assessed but my scratches are minor; I can still drive….I just get the biggest looks from passby-ers and majority drive past me FAST, thinking I'm the bad driver, HA!
On Sunday, after an early breakfast date at Bib & Tucker followed by a pump class, I got a message from a friend wondering if I had finished exams yet. He was at work and needed to run a jet ski for a client (he works at one of the marinas in Perth) so within an hour, I'm in my shorts & sandals driving to Fremantle, making the most of the glorious winter weather we've been having. We ended up riding the jet ski from Fremantle to the city for a drink at The Lucky Shag. We saw dozens of dolphins along the way (gosh those guys live THE life!) and of course not long after, we get smashed by a wave on the way to the city which left me thinking I was about to freeze to death (I came pretty close with my brain freezing, ouch!). Fun Sunday afternoon though.
Tuesday night, I finally celebrated end of exams with my uni/work girls. We went to The Aviary for some mulled wine followed by dinner at Jamie's Italian. The wait time is decreasing for those not booking weeks ahead; we only waited an hour to be seated after putting our name down at 5:45pm. I was VERY tempted to order the same main as last time but luckily picked another winning dish (Honeycomb Cannelloni 3 ways). For entree, we shared the pumpkin & smoked mozzarella nachos, crispy squid, stuffed peppers and crispy stuffed risotto balls. For dessert, there was warm brownie, tutti fruitti lemon meringue pie and a chocolate pot to share (can't say a lot of sharing was involved in the end!) We shared a bottle of 'Montepulciano D'Abruzzo' and I don't even drink red wine but loved this one!
Last night, I went to the Bliss n Eso concert and although I've heard of Yelawolf, I didn't actually listen to any of his music. Bliss n Eso are my favourite Australia Hip Hop act so I never doubted their choice in support acts but when Yelawolf came on, I was blown away. His style is like nothing I've heard recently & his stage presence was too good. His American-ism took me back to my time there & some of the people I was hanging out with. It made me miss them so much but also so excited about my trip back next year. More than anything, watching Yelawolf reminded me of someone that hurt me really bad recently. The voice, the clothing, the face & the tattoos. Maybe I haven't quite gotten over it or maybe I'm not supposed to just yet but man, feels like an old cut that needs to heal again. Question is, do I leave it covered or wide open?
Total mix bag!

Hello and welcome!
I have been deliberating over this for some time now and today I just decided to go for it. I have been inspired by so many incredible design blogging women that I can no longer contain the urge to jump in and give it a go. Baby steps right?!
I thought I would show you a delightful painting by my talented Mom along with some gorgeous corbels we found at an antique barn in Bobcaygeon. Can you believe Mom doesn't quite think she is that good? We are so lucky to have a few pieces of her artwork in our home and it makes me so proud.
Now my jaw dropped when my hubby came walking around the corner of that antique barn with those antique corbels ( he likes to run ahead and quickly scout out the place ahead of me while I slowly meander along taking in every little nook and cranny) as they were more even more beautiful than I thought I would find for just the right price. We had visited a few antique salvage places looking for them but they were always too large and too much money and or damaged or not the right style. They are the perfect size to support the narrow shelf in the front hall below my chunky white round mirror or I may use them for shelving in the mudroom and not paint them, only time will tell.

Police have released the name of the woman who died in three-car crash south of Rotorua on Sunday.
She was Helen Knox, also known as Helen Veale, 49, of Otaki.
Two people remain in a serious condition in Waikato Hospital following the fatal crash on State Highway 5 - while a third has been transferred there from Rotorua Hospital.
The crash happened about 5km south of Rotorua near Tumunui about 4.45pm.
Another man, in his 20s, was discharged Sunday night and a third patient, a young man, remained in Rotorua Hospital in a stable condition.
A Waikato Hospital spokesperson said a man and woman were in the hospital's High Dependency Unit in serious conditions while the man transferred from Rotorua was in the Emergency Department and was still being assessed.
In a statement, Rotorua police said they would like to hear from witnesses to the crash, or anybody who saw the driving of the vehicles beforehand.
The vehicles involved were a bronze coloured Nissan Murano travelling north and two southbound cars - a white Nissan Pulsar and a dark blue Mazda Axela.
The investigation into what caused the crash is on going.
Anyone with information is asked to call Rotorua police on (07) 349 9400.

The need:
Computer aided design and manufacturing processes are fundamental in the manufacturing sector. The current CAD-CAM-CNC production methods only offer a unidirectional manufacturing information flow from CAD to CNC. Moreover, the manufacturing information loss and fragmentation during the transition along the CAD-CAM-CNC chain, disallows changes made downstream to be tracked back upstream. Additionally, due to the lack of interoperability between various software and hardware systems, the SMEs have to select their production technology carefully in order to be compatible with as many customers and suppliers as they can.
The state of the art:
The conventional way of using numerical controlled (NC) machine tools involves the utilisation of G&M codes. These codes form a sequential programming language formalised in ISO6983 that only contains simple commands for mechanical axis movement and switching operations; there is no notion of geometry or logical structures. In order to satisfy the requirements of interoperable manufacturing, a new standard has been developed under the ISO 14649 (STEP-NC). A STEP-NC compliant programme would contain the geometry and topology, machining working steps, manufacturing features and the tolerances of these features among other items of information about the final product in a machine tool independent format.
The innovation beyond the state of the art:
The aim of the project is to create a STEP-NC compliant manufacturing support application for machining technologies such as milling and turning to respond to the global requirement for an interoperable and bidirectional manufacturing platform for SMEs in order to increase their competitiveness. The performance of the application will be tested on milling and turning manufacturing.
The objectives are as follow:
- – Realisation of a high productivity STEP-NC standard compliant application. A STEP and STEP-NC compliant application will be developed, which is (1) able to cooperate with commercial CAD thought STEP standard (as product model) for product data exchange (ISO 10303) and (2) support product and manufacturing data integration (as manufacturing model) down to the machine tools through the use of STEP-NC (ISO 14649 standards).
- – Easy to use and faster machine programming. The operator will be able to see the product and manufacturing information together and simulations will allow manufacturing without error for the first time. The new application will support manufacturing with an extensive library of materials, tools, common manufacturing processes.
- – Increased overall manufacturing efficiency. The SMEs will be able to increase their manufacturing output in the long run, because the application will store all the manufacturing history in a structured and searchable way leading to traceability.
- – Toward universal manufacturing platform: Interactive guidelines (or tutorials) of the application will help CAD/CAM software developers to integrate additional manufacturing technologies.

Demographics is one of the "big picture" themes that has an enormous impact on the world's economic growth patterns. And in the coming decades, it's going to drive growth in a number of countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Before that happens… would you like to learn how to make some money?
You see, we're in the middle of one of the biggest demographic shifts in history. Population growth is expected to skyrocket in many ASEAN countries (ASEAN is comprised of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Brunei, Laos, Malaysia, and Vietnam.) — and decline in Europe and several other major regions.
Broadly speaking, economic growth is a function of the number of workers, and their productivity. Shifting demographics in part drives economic growth.
As we've recently discussed, Asia's demographic future is a mixed bag. With its ageing population and low fertility rate, Japan is having some severe problems that will affect its economy for a long time.
By 2050, China's population is also expected to decrease by 3.2 percent. And the share of China's working age population is declining rapidly, which will hurt future economic growth.
Southeast Asia, on the other hand, has much more reason to be optimistic. Over the next few decades, demographics in the countries of the ASEAN will likely boost the region's economic growth.
ASEAN's demographic dividend
With an expected total GDP of nearly US$3 trillion in 2018, ASEAN is the fifth-largest economic region in the world. It's home to around 650 million people – more than North America or the European Union. It's a rapidly developing region, largely thanks to its significant and growing working age population. The only countries with larger labour forces are China and India.
Indeed, ASEAN has a higher than average proportion of working age grown-ups – and it will likely stay that way until 2030. One estimate suggests that by 2025, 68 percent of the population in ASEAN will be of working age, that's up from less than 60 percent in 1990.
And as ASEAN's working age population has increased, the share of its population that is too young or too old to work – its dependents – has declined. As a result, ASEAN's dependency ratio, which measures the share of the dependent population against the working population, has been falling.
But ASEAN's population growth has been slowing for the past 50 years. In 1965, annual population growth was 2.8 percent. By 1990, it had fallen to 2.1 percent. And last year, it fell to 1.8 percent.
Looking ahead, the United Nations expects ASEAN's population to rise from 647 million in 2017 to 726 million in 2030, and to 795 million people in 2035. That's an average growth of 0.69 percent per year. That's lower than the expected global growth rate of 0.98 percent during the same period, which indicates lower fertility rates.
In many ways, ASEAN is profiting from what's called a demographic dividend, which describes how a population's changing age structure can help boost economic growth. It usually happens when labour force participation rates rise and fertility rates fall. This is exactly what's happening in the ASEAN countries right now.
With the labour force temporarily growing faster than the dependent population, there are more resources available for investment in family welfare and economic development. And when countries have a greater share of people who can work, manage finances and pay taxes, their economies benefit. That leads to an increase of growth in income levels that can last for decades.
Could you have spotted the "J"
in this tiny crypto?
…Because it could turn every $50
you invest into $2,000 or more.
The dividend won't last forever
However, eventually a rapidly ageing population – since there are fewer babies and thus fewer young people – will cause the share of the working-age population to decline. Then the dependency ratio will rise. And when the population to labour force ratio rises, GDP per capita income growth will slow down.
But this is decades away for ASEAN. The UN forecasts that the dependency ratio of ASEAN will start to drop over the next few years, from 0.48 in 2015 (this means 48 dependants for every 100 people of working age) to 0.47 by 2020. This is well below the global average of 0.54.
But the ratio will begin to rise by 2030, and then accelerate to reach 0.59 by 2035, which will be comparable to the rest of the world.
Singapore and, to a lesser extent, Thailand, will drive much of the increase in the ratio, due to their older populations. According to 2016 estimates, other than Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, the median age of ASEAN countries (the age at which half of the population is older, and the other half is younger) is less than 30, as shown in the graph below.
This suggests that there are still lots of young, working-age grown-ups in the region, especially when compared to other parts of the world. In the U.S., the median age is 37.9 years. In China, it's 37.1 years. And in Japan, it's much older at 46.9 years.
The other ASEAN countries will only see small rises in their dependency ratios. But the "demographic dividend" for the region is expected to end by around 2030. By this point, the Asian Development Bank estimates that 10.8 percent of the ASEAN population will be older than 65. That's significantly higher than the 6.8 percent recorded in 2010.
ASEAN's demographic dividend doesn't necessarily assure a boost in economic growth. A country can waste their demographic dividend by implementing the wrong social and economic policies.
And since the ASEAN members have some major political differences, favourable demographics may not benefit every ASEAN country to the same degree.
That being said, trade liberalisation and increased worker mobility will help the region capitalise on its demographic dividend. And that makes the future success of the ASEAN economic bloc even more important.
In short, over the next 15 years or so, demographics are going to play a key role in boosting ASEAN's economic health.
Good investing,

P.S. As the majority of Asia's economies hopes to ride its demographic dividend into an era of accelerated growth, ageing but wealthy societies like Japan and Singapore are turning to a new technology to turn the demographic tide back in their favour. With this technology, the work of half a dozen men can be now done by just one or two, and in some cases none at all. The world's tech moguls are calling it the "holy grail" of technology capable of minting the world's first trillionaires.

About this event
Abbot School25 Depot Street Westford, MA 01886
The Westford 5K is a fast, USATF-certified clockwise loop course that begins on Fisher Way near the Abbot School, a wide starting area. The 5K runners start at 2:20 p.m. heading south toward the town green. (The 10K, starting five minutes later, will begin by heading the opposite direction on Fisher Way.) All three events will be on closed, traffic-free courses, part of an exciting town happening. Both the 5K and 10K head toward the town common—quintessential New England—passing the Community Center and Town Hall on Main Street, then the 5K splits left on Lincoln Street, after which it crosses to Hildreth Road. There is a right turn on Flagg Road at 1.62 miles, heading northwest. At 2. 57 miles the course joins Forge Village Road, which then becomes Main Street. Then there is a fast, straight finish to the front of the J.V. Fletcher Library adjacent to the northern tip of the triangular town common.
The 10K follows some of the same rural roads, but is primarily a counter-clockwise loop which splits right at the common, heads west on Forge Village Road, followed by a left on Cold Springs, a right on Patten, and a hard left on Concord Road (Route 225). The half way mark is just beyond the turn onto Concord Road. There is a left on Hildreth at 4.15, and another left on Flagg a half mile later. From the turn on Flagg the course is exactly the same as the last 1.5 miles of the 5K, and to the same fast finish line.
Westford center sits on a ridge, so upon leaving the center there is some downhill, and upon returning to the common there will be a general up slope. But the last half mile is generally flat and very fast.

Stone garden furniture is timeless, but it can be pricey.
This table has a concrete top featuring fern leaf imprints, which is supported on a solid timber base and assembled using dowel joints.
This top costs about $60 to DIY, which includes the formwork and reinforcement, but the total cost will vary with the timber used for the base.
It needs to be exterior grade and the type has to suit the finish. Go for clear treated pine if staining and finger-jointed H3 LOSP pine if painting.
The formwork for the tabletop is made from melamine-coated particleboard so it is easy to remove once the concrete has cured.
A tabletop slab needs strength, a low shrinkage rate and a long cure time. Use a high-strength concrete mix, add a layer of galvanised light gauge steel mesh and reinforce it with three 8mm galvanised threaded rods.
Shrinkage and cracking is usually caused by excess water, so keep the mix as dry as possible but still workable.
Allow the concrete slab to harden for at least two days, keeping it moist and covered in plastic. To prevent staining, and to give a glossy finish, apply 2-3 coats of an acrylic sealer.
DESIGN TIP Try inlaying decorative objects like seashells, coloured glass, tiles or even coins in the top.
Build the base
Cut the legs and rails to length with a mitresaw, then drill dowel holes and assemble the frame using 50 x 10mm dowels and exterior PVA adhesive, pulling it tight with sash clamps.
TIP Use masking tape around the drill bit as a depth guide.
Step 1. Set out rail centres
Set out the rail centres on the ends of all four rails, marking vertical centrelines and hole locations for the dowels 15mm in from each edge along the marked lines.
Step 2. Drill the dowel holes
Drill the dowel holes by clamping the rails in a vice and using a dowelling jig with a 10mm diameter brad point bit to drill holes 27mm
deep at each marked position.
Step 3. Transfer the hole locations
Transfer the locations to the legs using dowel centres so the rails are set 12mm down from the top edge. Drill the holes, then test-fit. Apply adhesive and tap in the dowels.
Building the formwork
Melamine-coated particleboard is an ideal material for formwork as it's inexpensive, smooth and water-resistant. It costs about $12 for a 1200 x 600 x 16mm sheet.
Cut the formwork pieces using a tablesaw or circular saw with a straightedge guide. The two sides are cut to extend beyond the ends for easy removal.
Use a brad nailer or drive screws by hand, drilling pilot holes. Seal the inside corners using silicone to give the cast rounded edges.
TIP To spot smudges during the clean-up, use dark silicone.
Make the concrete tabletop
Secure the formwork ends to the base then attach the sides using a brad nailer, spacing the fasteners 150mm apart. Rub wax over the surface of the formwork to help release the concrete later. TIP The sides of the formwork extend 170mm beyond each end.
Create even edges by applying masking tape along the formwork ends and sides 5mm in from the corners and edges. Apply a bead of silicone, smooth it with a wet finger, then remove the tape. Lay the fern leaves on newspaper and spray with adhesive, then press them onto the formwork base.
Use a spirit level to check the formwork is level in both directions, raising one side with shims, if needed. Pour the concrete around the perimeter to 25mm deep, then position the wire mesh with three lengths of reinforcing rod tied on. Pour in the remaining concrete to 40mm deep.
Wearing plastic gloves, carefully work the concrete mix into the edges and corners of the formwork and around the leaves. To drive out air bubbles, lightly tap the sides of the formwork with a hammer. When the concrete has settled, smooth out the surface using a steel float.
Leave the concrete to dry and cure for at least 2-3 days, then carefully turn the slab over and remove the formwork, starting with the overlapping sides. Use a stiff brush and awl, if needed, to work the leaves out of the concrete top, then scrub the whole surface to remove wax and clean up any melamine residue.
To give the illusion of natural stone, chip around the edges of the tabletop using a club hammer and cold chisel. Turn the top over and chip from the other side, then hone down any remaining sharp edges using an angle grinder. Build the base, then attach the top using silicone.

On Wednesday, American coal giant Peabody Energy accounted that it considers bankruptcy, thus indicating the end of an era for listed American corporate coal companies. Frankly speaking this statement somewhat contrasts with the fact that the company keeps fueling a huge chunk of the country's power stations.
American largest coal miner might appear to be the latest in a wave of shocking bankruptcies to hit top US coal producers, such as Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., Arch Coal Inc., Walter Energy, Inc. and Patriot Coal Corp.
American coal miners keep struggling with the decline of steel production, low energy prices, high debt levels, new environmental regulations, not to mention the conversion of coal-fired power plants to employ natural gas made abundant with the help of shale drilling.
Obviously, the industry's grieves arise amid a crucial political debate regarding the future of coal. The vast majority of Democrats, who pay much attention to the negative effects of fossil fuel burning, keep calling for cleaner energy sources. On the other hand, Republicans point out to probable job losses in the coal industry.

It's round three in our legislative updates for 2016. Part three gets into the meat of licensing, qualification and tied-house ownership, our favorite issues!
ABC qualification relief, but no tied-house changes, for private equity investors (SB 796: 23405.4)
Investors (and not just private equity investors) have struggled in California to legally make investments in licensed businesses largely for two reasons. First, upper tier investors are loathe to provide personal information and qualify with ABC, largely due to privacy concerns. Second, generally speaking, there is no de minimus exception to the California tied-house laws. Thus, an investor might have a passive investment in a fund which holds retail interests, which could prevent them from making another passive investment in a fund which holds supplier interests. ABC has struggled with these issues, out of a legitimate desire to know the ultimate owners of a licensee. The limited partners in a fund, which might technically be the ultimate "owners" of a license, however, generally do not have an active role in the management of the fund or the licensee. Further, they might not even know what investments the fund makes at all. So why qualify them or prevent them from making an investment in a licensee?
SB 796 attempts to address the first problem regarding qualification, but does not address the second and larger problem regarding the tied-house laws. Specifically, the statute will not require qualification (but still requires compliance with the tied-house laws--an important distinction of which to be mindful) of an investor in a private equity fund, provided:
- The fund's interest is passive (no involvement with the licensee's business);
- The fund's advisors are registered under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 and are subject to federal reporting requirements;
- The investor holds less than 10% of the fund (not the licensee); and
- The investor has no control in the investment decisions of the fund.
SB 796 does not apply to hedge funds, liquidity funds, REITS, securitized asset funds or VC funds. Why not? Good question--though it is consistent with other legislative changes to the code governing alcoholic beverage licensees; that is, hyper-specific and very limited.
ABC may require the manager of the fund to execute an affidavit confirming compliance with the conditions above and affirming that the investors not being qualified do not have interests that would violate the tied-house laws. Importantly, if the manager does not have direct knowledge of any facts necessary to execute the affidavit, the statute requires them to make a direct inquiry of investors, and requires notification if any of the attested-to facts change. Ostensibly, this creates an ongoing investigation and reporting obligation of the fund.
The statute clearly states that it is not intended to permit someone from making an investment through a private equity fund in a license if such investment is not otherwise permitted. Therefore, the statute does not address the larger and more difficult problem of passive investments in licensees and the tied-house laws. Thus, while qualification might be slightly easier, private equity funds will still be limited in how they can invest in licensees.
The Craft Distillers Act of 2015 (AB 1295: 23500, 23501, 23502, 23504, 23506, 23508, 23363.1, 23771 and 23772)
AB 1295 represents a big change in the industry, and could be a huge boon to folks looking to take advantage of the recent craft spirits craze that has swept the country. Historically, spirits have lagged behind wine and beer in terms of securing exceptions to the tied-house laws, which has made it more difficult for spirits products to get to the ultimate consumer without the backing of a major distributor. The new regulations not only create a new license type for small distillers, but also create tied-house exceptions that do not exist for their larger-production counterparts. These regulations do, however, amend the tasting provisions for spirits, which are applicable to large distillers as well.
- Basic License Permissions and Limitations (23500, 23501, 23502, 23504, ABC Industry Advisory)
The new craft distiller's license (Type 74) will allow the production of no more than 100,000 gallons (liquid volume and not proof gallons) of distilled spirits per fiscal year (July 1 – June 30), excluding brandy that it manufactures or is manufactured for the licensee with a brandy manufacturer's license. Fees and qualification will be the same as for Type 4 spirits producers. Craft Distillers must report their production volume to ABC when applying for an annual renewal, and if they exceed the production cap their license will be renewed as a Type 4.
They can package, rectify, mix, flavor, color, label and export only their own products. They will only be able to sell to wholesalers, manufacturers (and their agents), winegrowers and rectifiers that hold a license authorizing the sale of spirits. Thus, Craft Distillers cannot make sales to retailers–-however note the limited DTC exception for consumers outlined below.
- Tastings (23363.1)
The tastings statute applicable to spirits now covers both large distillers and craft distillers. Like regular distilled spirits manufacturers, craft distillers will be able to conduct tastings and charge for them on their premises, subject to the following conditions:
- Total volume of pours cannot exceed 1.5 oz per person, per day;
- Tastings can only include products produced (or produced for) the licensee; and
- Servers have to be at least 21.
The statute has been changed to allow the service of cocktails or mixed drinks at the tastings, however, note that licensees can only use product that they make or that they have made for them. Therefore, cocktail creativity here is limited (or, encourages companies to start making their own mixers, which could be good for everyone).
Tastings can occur off licensed premises as well, provided they take place within permitted events sponsored by a nonprofit organization. No sales or solicitations are permitted at these events.
- Direct to Consumer Sales (23504)
Craft distillers can sell up to 2.25 liters of their pre-packaged product at instructional tastings that occur on the licensee's premises pursuant to the tasting provision of 23363.1 outlined above. This represents a huge win for craft distillers attempting to get their products to market, as DTC sales of spirits to consumers have until now been barred by ABC.
- Bona Fide Public Eating Place & Private Events (23506(c) and 23508)
Like their wine and beer making counterparts, Craft Distillers may also operate a bona fide public eating public place located on, or contiguous to, their licensed premises. However, they may also serve distilled spirits, which is a big difference from wineries or breweries, who may not. Additionally, Craft Distillers may also offer beer, wine and distilled spirits, regardless of source, for sale to guests during private events. All beverages sold on the premises that are not manufactured by or for the Craft Distiller must be purchased from a wholesaler.
If the Craft Distiller loses this designation and becomes a large distiller, they may continue have events on their premises. This is a huge win for Craft Distillers who wish to market their space for events for extra revenue, something that is has become quite popular for all types of manufacturers. However, the ABC advisory indicates that if the Craft Distiller becomes a large distiller, they do not get to keep operating the bona fide public eating place under their distiller license. The bona fide public eating place on the premises would have to have a separate on-sale license, which could raise some tied-house issues.
- Tied-House (23502(b), 23771, 23772, ABC Industry Advisory) – No Interests with Large Manufacturers, Agents, Wholesalers or Rectifiers
Craft Distiller licenses cannot be held by anyone "affiliated," directly or indirectly, with a person who manufactures (or has manufactured for them) more than 100,000 gallons of distilled spirits per year within or without California (excluding brandy it manufactures or has manufactured for it with a brandy manufacturer license). The term "affiliate" is not generally defined in the code, though it is sometimes defined within the specific section where the term is used. Not so in this case, leaving it ambiguous as to what exactly "affiliated" means in this context. Nonetheless, the main take-away here is that Craft Distillers cannot also have Type 4 licenses or Type 5 licenses (Distilled Spirits Manufacturer's Agent licenses) in California, and also that they cannot be affiliated with larger scale manufacturers of distilled spirits located outside of California.
Additionally, Craft Distiller licenses may not be issued to anyone "affiliated" with, directly or indirectly, a wholesaler. The same ambiguity exists here with respect to the meaning of "affiliate." The prohibition appears to only to apply to wholesale interests in the state of California (Type 17 beer and wine wholesaler or Type 18 distilled spirits wholesaler), and not to wholesale interests in other states.
Because a Craft Distiller can package, rectify, mix, flavor, color, label and export only their own products, ABC has indicated that they cannot also hold a Rectifier's (Type 07 or Type 24) license. Craft Distillers may however use grain-neutral spirits manufactured by another distiller in the manufacture of their product.
Tied-House – Interests in On-Sale Licensees (23506)
Craft distillers, or one or more of their subsidiaries of which they own at least 51% who also manufactures or produce, bottle, process, import or sell distilled spirits under a craft distiller's license "or any other license issued pursuant this division" may hold an ownership interest in, or have a "financial or representative relationship" in up to two on-sale licensees.
Before we discuss the conditions on this important tied-house exception, we wanted to address some of the language in this statute. First, it is unclear what ABC means by the phrase "or any other license issued pursuant to this division." This could allow Craft Distillers who have subsidiaries with other licenses to partake of this exception, where they otherwise would not have been able to do so. Second, "financial or representative relationship" is broader than the similar exception for winery interests in on-sale licensees found in 25503.15, meaning that not just ownership of the retailer is at issue for the tied-house analysis, but also the broader relationship of the Craft Distiller and the retailer.
The exception does contain a wholesaler poison pill, requiring the on-sale licensee to make all alcohol purchases (including wine and beer) from California wholesalers, except for those spirits which are made by or for the interested Craft Distiller. This could be a deal breaker for many on-sale licensees. Additionally, the number of spirits by brand offered by the off-sale licensees are limited to 15% of those produced by the interested Craft Distiller.
Importantly, this exception is not lost if the Craft Distiller eventually exceeds the production cap and becomes a regular large distiller.
Pedicabs get licenses (SB 530), no luck for beauty salons (AB 1322)
While clearly we all need to find out more about pedicabs, which can apparently carry up to 15 passengers and still qualify as pedicabs (our minds are spinning, meaning we may need to go to spin class more often), passengers may also now consume alcohol in pedicabs without requiring a license by the pedicab from the ABC. These pedicab operators must receive LEAD training from ABC and may not "sell, serve, or furnish" these beverages, but provided all the passengers are 21+, the passengers may serve themselves while enjoying the ride.
Other possible licensees or exceptions to the rule were not as lucky as the pedicab operators. A bill to provide an ABC licensing exception to beauty salons to enable them to provide alcoholic beverages incidental to the service of beauty treatments did not pass. We have a feeling the long-standing practice will not entirely go away, since it's been happening without this exception in place for many years (shhh! We ladies need our champagne!).
Larger brewers join small brewers in exception permitting on-sale retail license ownership (SB 796: 25503.28)
25503.28 used to allow only small beer manufacturers (those producing 60,000 barrels a year or less) to have an interest in up to 6 on-sale licenses, and now that privilege has been extended to large beer manufacturers in California as well.
The new privilege cannot be combined with the existing privilege under 23389(c) which allows beer manufacturers to sell their beer at 6 branch locations, 2 of which may be bona fide public eating places selling wine in addition to beer. Thus, a beer manufacturer (regardless of the number of licenses they hold alone, in common ownership with another beer manufacturer, or under common ownership with anyone operating as a on-sale retailer), may exercise on-sale retail privileges at premises where they do not manufacture beer at no more than 6 locations. Despite this, there is still no limit on the number of manufacturer locations, or the exercise of retail privileges at those locations.
Beer specifically added to non-profit temporary licenses (AB 774: 24045.6 and 25607.5)
Beer was specifically added to the statute permitting nonprofits to obtain special temporary on-sale and off-sale licenses for fundraising activities. While there are a variety of temporary off-sale licenses available for nonprofits, we most commonly see the combination of the licenses covered by 24045.1 (the on-sale general license, usually used for full bars at nonprofit fundraisers) and 24045.4 (the off-sale license that permits nonprofits to auction off bottles of wine). 24045.6 could be used by a nonprofit hosting an event featuring on-site consumption and also selling alcohol donated to it for off-sale consumption (but not using a silent or live auction to do it). Most commonly, this privilege is used by nonprofit wine varietal or regional organizations who might conduct larger wine tastings and also sell wine donated to it by wineries participating in the event or who make special blends as a private label for the organization. Previously, the statute was limited to wine, but now nonprofits can receive donated beer as well for their fundraising events under this section, which likely means we'll see more beer association events structured like the wine association events.
Beer label approval no longer required by ABC, however brands must be registered with ABC prior to sale (AB 893:25200, 25201 and 25204)
Beer manufacturers and certificate of compliance holders are no longer required to furnish labels of beer containers to ABC, however every beer manufacturer, before the first sale of a brand of beer in California, must register the brand with ABC. Form 412 has been amended and is now titled the Beer Brand Registration Form. Manufacturers do not have to register brands that currently have accepted labels on file with ABC. ABC will not send a response to the brand registration form, and licensees may submit malt beverage price schedules and territorial agreements simultaneously with brand registration forms.
25200 was repealed and replaced with a provision that governs beer labels and brand registration, as well as alcohol content labeling previously included in 25204 (which has been repealed). Beer labels must meet federal malt beverage labeling regulations, and must also include:
- the brand and class or type of beer;
- the manufacturer's name (can be a DBA) and address (if the beer is a collaborative effort, everyone must be identified);
- the bottler (if other than the manufacturer); and
- a statement of alcohol content if the beer is over 5.7% ABV.
Provisions on growlers used to be contained in 25200, but are now addressed in a separate and new section 25201. Although the citation is new, the law has not changed.
If you're full of legislative updates, don't worry, we'll have a post next week that will help bring back your appetite! Have a great weekend!

I had a great idea the other day, to make a water bottle that would use UV LEDs to clean the water inside the bottle. After a little research I found someone who had a similar idea and did it very well.
From an Inhabitat post: While traveling through Zambia, Timothy Whitehead became perplexed with the issues surrounding purifying water — chlorine and iodine tablets abound, but it takes 30 minutes to finish the process and the water tastes terrible afterward. Enter his new invention, the Pure Water Bottle, which is capable of filtering soiled — completely gross and disgusting looking water — in 2 minutes flat. Whitehead used a combination of a 4 micron-sized water filter and a wind-up ultra violet light system to clean the water of 99.9% of its impurities.

California Christmas Events
Tree Lane - Woodbury Road - Altadena, California Holiday
California Christmas
Trees >
Christmas Tree Lane in
Altadena is a state historical site on the
California Historical Register. The nearly mile-long street garners
a street sign pointing to Christmas Tree Lane on Santa Rosa Avenue,
where a grove of Deodar cedar trees line the street that lovingly
shines for
the holiday season each Christmas. The trees have outlived their age
expectancy of over 100 years and continue to delight young and old
each November - December. Community volunteers string lights
along the length of these trees for thousands of people to drive by and look at.
They are part of a tradition that's been around for over 80 years.
They herald the holiday season, bringing an old-fashioned Christmas
to the foothills of Altadena.
Altadena Library grounds
is where the ceremony begins on the 2nd Saturday in December. There
are speeches, children singing and then the tree lighting. The
ceremony usually is held from 5 to 7 p.m.
Christmas Tree Lane (actually Santa Rosa Avenue, between Woodbury
Avenue and Altadena Drive) in Altadena is one of the oldest Christmas lighting spectacles in Southern California.
It became a tradition in 1920 when a local named Nash decided to
brighten up the holiday with some lights on the quickly growing
Deodars that the Woodbury
Family, founders of Altadena, planted in 1885. Nearly 135
Deodar Cedar trees are decorated by the
Christmas Tree Lane Association in what's known as "Mile of Christmas Trees"
(containing 10,000 lights.) The oldest large-scale outdoor
Christmas display in the world is a designated California
Historical Landmark No. 990 (1990), and listed in the National
Register of Historic Places (1990).
Christmas Tree Lane at the base of the San
Gabriel Mountains, was established along the lane of deodar cedars
that John Woodbury discovered on a trip through Italy, and
envisioned for Altadena. His ranch hands transplanted more than 100
trees each 2-foot-tall running along both sides of a straight avenue
running uphill from Woodbury Road.
These very old
Deodars that came from
Italy in 1883 as youngsters, were a hit.
In 1920 Altadena resident and Pasadena businessman Frederick C. Nash
sought help from Pasadena Kiwanis Club
and from the City of Pasadena to light a quarter- mile section
of the roadway. Over the next few years the lighting expanded until
the entire row of trees, 150 in all, were lighted. The boulevard at
that time was referred to as the "Avenue of the Deodars." Though
many pedestrians would walk along the lighted street, it was really
a spectacle to behold from the seats of slowly passing automobiles.
In 1927 the newer Altadena Kiwanis Club began the custom of taking
less fortunate children for rides along what they joyfully called
"Christmas Tree Street." More than
50,000 cars traveled the avenue during the weeks of the lighting and
today, interest is still strong, but not without some historical
The lane actually went dark
for several years and the City of Pasadena dropped out of
participation as Altadena fought annexation from its neighbor.
The Altadena community
formed the Christmas Tree Lane Association (CTLA) and in 1964 Southern
California Edison agreed to help out by installing a permanent grid along the trees with
special throw switches in three intersection locations, all for free
(before the energy shortage occurred).
Christmas Tree Lane was listed in
the National Register of Historic Places and became California State
Landmark No. 990 for significance in its singularly significant social convergence of two relatively new
commoditiess: the outdoor electric light and the automobile.
Christmas Tree Lane is also recognized as the only botanical
landmark on the State Registry.
Southern California Edison no longer sought to provide free energy
in 2000 and the annual celebration was jeopardized.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Mike Antonovich, Fifth
District, saved Christmas by spending discretionary funds to upgrade
the poor electrical wiring system and grid that lights the trees.
Some saw him as Santa Claus. He threw the switch on the lights and
everyone cheered in delight.
Christmas Tree Lane "Lighting Ceremony" is held on the second
Saturday of December, unless otherwise indicated, begins a two to
three-week tradition. The lights go
on at dark and turn off around midnight. The lighting continues to January 1st, or 2nd if its on a weekend. It has been
customarily lighted on January 6 for the Eastern Right faiths who
celebrate Christmas on the Feast of the Epiphany.
In 2009 rains caused the 89th annual lighting to be canceled. A
Winter Arts and Crafts Festival coinciding with the Tree Lighting or
some other civic event is usually held. The lights went on minus the
fanfare and are lit to Jan. 6. just without the ceremony. "We hope
to see all of you either in February when we start to take down the
lights or next year for the lighting," said locals who volunteer
their time to put this event together.

UFU backs DAERA telephone service
Thursday, 6 December, 2018
The Ulster Farmers Union is encouraging farmers to make use of DAERA's telephone system and register cattle purchased at a livestock market via phone.
UFU animal health and welfare chairman, Desmond Fulton says, "The enhancement to the cattle registration telephone system has been created to allow herd keepers to register cattle purchased at a livestock market, without the need to send a MC2B paper document thus making the registration of cattle more efficient."
"The telephone service is a good option and is quick and easy to use. It is a direct-line number and calls are taken by specifically trained DAERA staff. The information provided by farmers is recorded directly into APHIS in real time, which reduces the likelihood of late notification statuses or penalties," says Mr Fulton.
To register cattle using the telephone service call 0300 200 7855. The service is open Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm. All calls are recorded and securely stored should a farmer need to check the information at a later date.

A new technique for manufacturing LED lights has been developed by researchers at University of Cambridge.
By combining current LED technology with silicon wafers the researchers have made LED lights far more cost-efficient and more power conservative.
The researchers suggest that if there were a worldwide switch to LED, it could allow the closure of 560 power plants and significantly diminish the CO2 emissions generally emitted from light bulbs.Read more at University of Cambridge

Western Downs business event highlights region's potential
THE region's biggest players in business and energy production gathered in Chinchilla last night for the Toowoomba and Surat Basin Enterprise event.
Close to 100 people were in attendance, with representatives from APPEA, Senex Energy, AGL, Santos and Elgas, as well as Western Downs mayor Paul McVeigh and councillors Andrew Smith, Donna Ashusrt, Kay McGuire and Peter Saxelby.
The networking event gave attendees a chance to hear more about opportunities for businesses in the Western Downs region.
Mayor Paul McVeigh welcomed guests and spoke about the current and future projects in the region.
"At the moment council has approved $5.5 billion worth of renewables in this region," Cr McVeigh said.
"We have $1.2 billion of that $5.5 under construction here and now and that's the APA's solar operation in Kogan and also AGL's wind farm at Cooper's Gap.
"It's a pretty exciting time, there's going to be a lot of opportunity to be able to get involved in that construction and it's ongoing construction for many, many years to come.
"We have the capacity and the existing infrastructure to attract and service big operations in the energy sector and we have actually proven that we do have this capacity.
"The Equis Energy solar farm that's been approved at Wandoan, it's one gigawatt, that's a 1000 megawatt solar farm there, it's the largest approved solar farm on the southern hemisphere.
"We do want to be a council that delivers back into our community."
The Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association's Queensland director Rhys Turner complemented the WDRC for "being agnostic to energy", talking about the varying and unique energy production operations seen in the region, particularly in regards to gas.
"We are in the epicentre of something that's not really happening anywhere else in the world and that is large scale on shore gas production being scaled up for LNG and export, it's not happening anywhere at the size it's happened here," Mr Turner said.
"It's important to note that the industry has really stepped up to the plate, it has fulfilled its export obligations to bring more gas to market as well, and that can only mean two things, more local jobs and more local investment."
Santos Maranoa regional manager Andrew Snars mentioned the Scotia Project in Wandoan and said "it's only natural that an expansion would take place".
"It's pretty well completed now," he said.
"We should be wrapping up in the next few weeks."
News of the Northern Territory Government's decision to lift a moratorium on fracking was welcomed by guests, with some hoping a similar moratorium on fracking in Victoria will also be lifted in 2020.
"We've proven time and time again we don't pollute," Bridgeport Energy Limited CEO Chris Way said.
"It's disappointing to see what Victoria's doing."
Overall, the evening was deemed a success by organisers, with TSBE acting CEO Stacey Burrell thrilled with the turn out.
"Support and interest from our members and the wider community was fantastic with nearly 200 delegates taking part in the two-day event in Chinchilla," Ms Burrell said.
"Our TSBE Enterprise Evenings provide immediate economic benefits to our region a great example is two Chinchilla hotels were completely booked out as delegates opted to spend a night to take part in the site tours on day two.
"This was also the first time TSBE had offered tours to Talinga Water Treatment Facility and BOC Micro LNG plant.
"More than 50 delegates joined these tours for a rare insight into these world-class facilities."

I found a new and very unique strategy and it gave me good results for a while. I thought i will share with you guys after thoroughly testing the system with some senior members but the thread i opened for that did not get much response so i decided to share the system here and develop it from here to become a highly profitable system.
The heart of this system uses Currency Indexes (USDLFX, EURLFX, GBPLFX, AUDLFX, LFXJPY) and we use the data from the indexes to make trading decisions on the currency pairs.
DislikedHello Traders,
I have attached today's trade results so far. It seems to be working fine but i need your contributions to make it a better system. I am having a hard time monitoring all the indicators for all the pairs. Common guys lets make this work.Ignored
Dislikedhello, yes this is more accurate on higher time frames but i prefer to use shorter time frames. Most of the indicators are paid indicators so i cannot share it here in public sorry. But i think other indicators can be more useful in this system that's why i shared it here so that more experienced traders can suggest more indicators and we can build a complete system.Ignored
DislikedThank you for this very fresh idea on trading ,It looks simple and straight forward ,can it be adapted to longer time frames like the daily or 4hrs/1 hrs time frames.
can you also post your indicators please.Ignored

Some biblical creationists argue for a mature creation as an explanation for the history of Genesis to align with modern cosmological observations. Don DeYoung1 is one who argues that such a view is not refutable, and he is quite right. But neither is any cosmology as really cosmology is not science.2 It is not subject to repeatable laboratory type tests that is normally required in science. Its goal is to reconstruct the history of the Universe, and in so doing cosmology is more akin to evolutionary biology or geology in which researchers must simply accept some facts as given. That makes cosmology more like a religion, a belief system, with its unprovable axioms upon which everything else is based.
De Young argues that all biblical creationist cosmogonies (i.e. worldviews) contain some level of mature creation, which I do agree with. The problem, though, which he does not address, is the issue of false information in starlight.
We know that the Universe is very large. Light travels very fast indeed, yet light travelling at its measured speed travels one light-year distance in one year (by definition). The Bible tells us that the Universe is only about 6000 years old, but the distances light needs to travel from the most distant sources to Earth, since creation, is about 14 billion light-years. So DeYoung, and others like him, claim that God created the 'light in transit'. He says that this explanation is valid as it is equivalent to the mature creation of our sun or even to adult forms of life created on Earth (i.e. Adam and Eve created in the Garden as adults and not babies or embryos). On some level this may be true, but the 'light in transit' remains a problem in terms of God's truthfulness.
No doubt DeYoung, and those others who hold similar views, believe that God is 100% truthful, yet they see no problem with false information in the 'light in transit'. DeYoung excuses it by saying that it is nevertheless true in the mind of God. But there still remains a problem.
In Psalm 91 (and other passages in the Bible) we are told that the heavens tell us of God's workmanship. Is this also only in the mind of God? Is everything that is in the astrophysical heavens just part of a big light show, which has no reality, such as the reality we can discover with the rest of our senses here on Earth? I don't think so.
So how do you justify 'light in transit,' which does not relate back to real events in the past history of this Universe? If you want to take the approach of the least number of assumptions, that is, using Occam's Razor,3 a law of economy, then I would say that a time-dilation model or a time-convention model is a far simpler and better choice.4 For example, I could construct a cosmogony (description of the origin of the Universe) where our Creator God makes the sun, the moon, the planets and all the stars and galaxies on Day 4 of Creation Week, according to Genesis 1.5 But in so doing He slows the rate of clocks on Earth during that day only. Really that means he slows the rate at which time passes on Earth relative to elsewhere in the cosmos. He makes some galaxies initially and places them throughout the Universe, like unfurling a flag or tent. It does not necessarily involve any stretching of the fabric of space, or of time or of space-time. This Universe is not an expanding, but created static, with the galaxies essentially in the same locations now as when they were created 6000 years ago, as measured by Earth clocks.
In that cosmogony God continued creating throughout the Earth Day 4 of Creation Week, taking only one 24-hour Earth day, but, as measured by astronomical clocks that would have taken ten or more billion years of current Earth time. Or even using the ASC time-convention model6 of Jason Lisle, viewed from the perspective of the ESC time convention,7 billions of years would have passed in the cosmos but only one day passed in Earth.8
God was creating and hence He can do as He likes. All the light we see today has travelled from the distant reaches of the cosmos. It all represents real events that occurred on the stars that it originated from. Nothing is 'in the mind of God' only. They are all real events. We can believe it to be true and the laws of nature (creation) are valid. After all, they are God's laws. God simply created during Day 4, while Earth clocks ran nearly a trillion times slower than clocks in the rest of the Universe, in the case of my first creationist cosmogony model.5 Or in the case of Lisle's ASC model, light in the rest frame of the cosmos (not Earth) had millions and billions of years to travel to Earth and all arrived the first time on Day 4. In the rest frame of the Earth under such a model the light travelled instantaneously from source to Earth, and also thus represents the real state of the sources it came from.8
In my first cosmogony, after Day 4 was finished, the Creator set Earth clocks to run at the same rate as cosmic clocks, and you would not be able tell any difference from astronomical observations. However, that would be untestable today. It would be consistent with all we observe and also with the Genesis text, Neither would it have any 'light created in transit' assumption.
In the case of the ASC model no time dilation is needed. There are billions of years of travel time available under the Einstein Synchrony Convention for light to travel to Earth, but when viewed from the Anisotropic Synchrony Convention the light travels instantaneously to Earth, so also there is no 'light created in transit' assumption there either.
So far I have only made one assumption—God created, ex nihilo, for some of the galaxies, at least, and they were created in various stages of maturity and at various times during Day 4 of Creation Week. That is consistent with the Genesis account. All that we see in starlight is true history of real events that once happened.
We don't even need to invoke that God used a general relativistic time dilation mechanism, resulting from an expanding universe that was or was not accelerating at some time in the past.9 The Universe does not need to be expanding at all–it could be static.10
You would only need to explain the many verses in the Bible which seem to say God spread out the heavens, but a plain reading of those verses would suggest that it was simply like rolling out and setting up a tent, and not that the tent was stretched out like a balloon.11 You could not refute that either. Even the Tolman test12 on whether the Universe is expanding or static, independent of cosmology, cannot distinguish. The data fit either the standard big bang model, which is expanding, or a static universe just as well, once all assumptions are taken into account. In fact my analyses of different methods of testing whether or not the Universe is expanding have resulted in nothing definitive either way.10
In addition quasar scintillation (regular variations in light intensity) show no evidence of time dilation as a function of redshift, and hence distance, if the cosmological distance interpretation for the Hubble Law is correct.13 It seems that there is one fact we can rely on—the Hubble Law applies to galaxies, relating their magnitudes (and hence distance) with their redshifts, at least at low to moderate redshifts. But you cannot irrefutably say the Universe is expanding from that. Such expansion has never been observed in a lab environment. So a static universe, where the Hubble Law is valid, and results from some other, as-yet-unknown, mechanism–though many ideas have been proposed–is as good as any. Maybe it is even the simplest.
And if we want to solve the big unknowns, the problems for the standard consensus14 model of the origin and structure of the Universe, the ΛCDM big bang inflation model,15 then a static universe like that described above could work. In that universe there is no exotic16 dark matter, no dark energy,17 no cosmic inflation (for which there is no known mechanism to start or stop it), no need to assign the source of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation to the cosmic fireball, called the last scattering surface of the big bang (with some wrinkles, i.e. temperature fluctuations, which were too small to seed galaxies as expected18 and they cast no shadows19,20) and no expansion.21
All these 'unknowns' of big bang cosmology vanish. You even get a few side benefits—the horizon problem22 is solved because the Universe can be much bigger than we observe, but you just choose an age in astronomically measured time sufficiently long enough–finite but long enough–for all the radiation to mix up throughout the whole Universe and get a perfect black-body curve from the thermalisation of all the energy confined within the finite Universe. Also one has no worries with the flatness problem because I would argue that God simply created a flat Euclidean space for the whole Universe. Only where matter density is locally large is that perturbed and that fulfils all the requirements to agree with general relativity measurements done within our solar system and even in the case of gravity waves from stellar-mass-size black holes.23
It seems to me that those biblical creationists, including DeYoung, attempt to simplify things with 'mature creation' and 'light created in transit'. But if you want a simple fully mature Universe, with no false history (which can hardly be described as simple), the choices I have suggested above, and referenced below, would do. The only time dilation comes directly from God, not from some complex, non-intuitive relativistic effect and/or a model that needs lots of patches and ad hoc assumptions to support it. The ASC model is very simple and involves no time dilation at all, just the adoption of a different time-stamping convention for the language used in the Bible. See A biblical creationist cosmogony.
The only difference, of course, is that most of the problems the big bangers have result from their rejection of anything from the hand of God. Maybe we all should take William of Occam's advice.

8 thoughts on "Mature creation and false information in starlight"
Thanks again for your thoughts on Creation John. Much appreciated. Can I ask you to explain please, under your model whereby God slowed time on Earth to almost stop whilst billions of Earth years worth of processes occur in stellar space, all occuring on Day 4 of creation, how this impacts on Day 3 creation products, namely the flora. Is it feasible for them to 'grow' at such a slow rate? Or are they effectively in a state of suspended animation?
If God can slow down time on earth, what about the opposite – accelerating all physical processes (not just light) in the rest of the universe as he "stretched out the heavens"? Wouldn't this achieve the same effect as time dilation models?
Hi John
I am reticent to write because I am such a novice with science, but, as a person who has returned to Genesis after believing evolution MUST be true, I do have a strong interest in these things and would just like to make a comment.
I was listening to a Christian speaker some months ago who said that really there is a veil drawn between now and what we can know about time before the fall. There is no reason for us to expect the laws of physics and nature (which now include decay) to be in place before that point. Likewise, we believe that when the Lord intervenes in history again, the day of the Lord will come like a thief (suddenly) – the heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, the earth and everything in it will be laid bare (2 Peter 3). That is, at the other end of history, the Lord will not be obeying the laws of physics either. So, really, if we believe in Christ's return and His supernatural intervention at supernatural speed in the world as we know it, it is just as reasonable to believe in supernatural creation in a multiplicity of complex actions in supernatural speed at His command before the all the laws of nature were put in place, or confined to their roles, so to speak. In my opinion, this view is different to false information in starlight.
I know this sounds ridiculous to unbelievers, but in between the bookends of history is the life, death and resurrection of Yeshua of Nazareth, Jesus Christ. This is the One who is described as "the eternal life which was with the Father and has appeared to us" 1 John 1. The One who said before his death that he would rise again, as was foretold in Psalm 16:10. The One who commanded the wind and the waves to be still and the disciples were terrified and said 'Who is this?' Nature obeyed Him.
Job 9:8 says "He (God) alone stretches out the heaves and treads on the waves of the sea. He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south…" When He walked on the water Jesus identified himself as the One spoken of in Job; that is, the Creator: He alone can do this. And his resurrection, witnessed by many and substantially documented, authenticated his credentials. The miracles and resurrection are case in point that our God does not obey the laws of physics; they obey Him.
In spite of my view I am very interested in the whole evolution/creation discussion – a pursuit of truth – including the starlight question. I believe that these issues will never be solved; there will always be something squirming out sideways that doesn't fit the model, a planet rotating the wrong way. The grandeur of the design will never be 'solved'. However, I am thankful for creationist scientists who have the courage to keep digging for truth, pursuing the integrity of science, respectfully challenging the group-think and speaking out about speculative scientism, a faith in godless supernaturality its own right.
Many thanks for your work, the many thought-provoking articles and the forum to make comment.

Dv brought me up to the Finger Lakes because he knows how relaxed I feel up there. The Finger Lakes are a group of lakes in upstate NY. The wineries are primarily located on the edges of Seneca, Cayuga (impossible to say w/o thinking of cartoons) and Keuka Lake. Because they are so close together you can go to several wineries in a day. Just pick a lake and the wineries are one after the other. The hardest part is trying to remember which wineries you didn't like last time. Or maybe it's keeping your eyes on the road. There are dozens of small waterfalls everywhere. How could you not relax sitting in a car going from one wine tasting to another gazing at the lake or waterfalls in between? "Deck the Halls" is how. It's a very popular event where people buy a ticket that gets them a grapevine wreath and then they go to each winery to collect ornaments and enjoy food & wine tastings. Sounds nice enough but people go to this thing planning to get trashed. Normally DtH is the just the first weekend in December but because it is so popular they added a weekend in November. We didn't find out until we got there - Whoops. The only good thing was that most of them rented limos so we didn't need to worry about being killed. You should have seen the limos, I think I saw one "normal" limo. There were tons of stretch SUVs including a Durango w the license plate DA RANGO (da is right), 2 stretch Hummers (the really big one's license plate was GODZILA), a stretch Charger, a stretch pick-up(!). Clearly I don't need to tell you about the group of woman wearing matching plastic grape-bunch necklaces for you to tell this is a classy crowd. We started on the less popular (and lucky for us popular doesn't necessarily equal best) side of the lake and were able to go to several wineries that weren't participating and a few participating wineries that weren't overwhelmed. We did skip one because we could hear a woman's drunken screaming while we were still at the previous winery. Things didn't get bad until after lunch. Several places were so loud we just turned around and left but there was one that Dv really wanted to try. The place was crazy inside but we wedged ourselves in at the tasting counter and I was promptly served wine in a dirty glass with a fruit fly in it! Ah, good times. Despite all the nonsense we managed to go to enough places that weren't insane and I had a good time. The entire weekend was like that, stuff kept coming up that could have ruined it but then it worked out. Dv was even sick as a dog on Friday but managed to recover fast enough to show me a good time.
I was going to post about Schaefer yarn today but I screwed up the pics (damn white balance). I will do my best to post about it tomorrow. In the meantime here's a shot of the one of the lakes (Seneca, I think).

The start of the campaign was characterised by one "C" word – cuts. For a couple of weeks Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg all talked tough on public spending reductions. The Government delivered a tough-ish PBR, David Cameron promised "swingeing cuts" and Nick Clegg promised to do for Trident.
This "C" word, however, has since receded from view. It has been consigned to the semantic dustbin along with a couple of inconvenient "D" words like "Deficit", "Default" and "DearGodThatsALotofMoneyWeOwe". Jonathan Lanchester has a good piece on this admission of responsibility here.
In the past couple of weeks another "C" word has bubbled to the surface – coalition. Again, however, the politicians have attempted to duck a difficult issue. They have resorted to threatening voters with the dire consequences of a hung Parliament in the hope of securing an overall majority.
The electoral maths and public finance sums, however, are non-negotiable realities. The simple fact is that a new Chancellor will be required to set out unpopular measures to rein in public spending within months of taking office. These cuts will probably need to be agreed with some kind of cross-party support.
From a local government point of view, of course, squeamishness about cuts and coalitions looks a bit indulgent. Making tough choices in an era of three party politics is already a reality for many Councillors. As Andy has pointed out previously:
There are many very effective formal and informal power sharing agreements in place in local authorities. These arrangements prove surprisingly durable in local government, often lasting over a four year political cycle, as in the high profile examples in Birmingham and Leeds since 2006.
These councils are already taking tough choices to ensure that they are prepared for an era of cuts of up to 20 per cent. Birmingham City Council, the country's largest local authority, drew up plans in February to make up to 2000 workers redundant.
The gap between this pragmatism, and the unreality of the national election debate, is extraordinary.

Big-endian and Little-endian
- Java follows Big-endian byte order.
- Big-endian and little-endian are terms that show the order in which a sequence of bytes are stored in computer memory.
Big-endian is an order in which the "big end" or in other words the most significant value in the sequence is stored first (at the lowest storage address).
Little-endian is an order in which the "little end" (least significant value in the sequence) is stored first or at a higher storage address.
- For example, if there are two storage addresses 1000 and 1001 and one has to store the hexadecimal number 4F52, then the most significant bit (4F) will be stored at address 1000 and 52 will be stored at address 1001.
- In a little-endian system, the number 4F52 would be stored as 524F
- i,e 52 at address 1000 and 4F at address 1001.
- (52 at address 1000, 4F at 1001).
- IBM's 370 mainframes as well as most RISC-based computers and Motorola microprocessors use the big-endian
- TCP/IP also uses the big-endian approach.
- For those who use languages that read from left-to-right, this seems a natural way to present the numbers. Big-endian can be thought of as storing something in forward fashion, just as we read.
- On the other hand, Intel processors (CPUs) and DEC Alphas are little-endian.
- An argument for little-endian order is that as you increase a numeric value, you may need to add digits to the left
- Thus, an addition of two numbers often requires moving all the digits of a big-endian ordered number in storage, moving everything to the right.
- In a number stored in little-endian fashion, the least significant bytes can stay where they are and new digits are added to the right at a higher address.
- This means that some computer operations may be simpler and faster to perform.
- Language compilers such as Java or FORTRAN need to know the way the object code they develop is going to be stored.
- Converters are used to change one kind of endian to the other when necessary.

Kari began practicing yoga and meditation in 2001 with the hope of reducing her worrisome nature. Early on, her daily practice was inspired by the routine and challenge experienced with Ashtanga yoga. Her mind discovered some steadiness and her body awareness grew, along with a realization of her physical strength. Over time she started to feel more spaciousness and freedom from the cacophony of her previous worries.
With over fifteen years of this sort of wakeful living, she has instilled a life-long intention to do everything with passionate ease and a whole lot of heart.
Kari appreciates the balance of yin and yang qualities in her life. As a teacher she embodies a smooth union of science-minded knowledge and heart-centered intuition. The ease and clarity of her teaching provides a welcoming environment for students with inquiring minds and bodies. She infuses her classes with intelligent, mindful-based practices. The support of Kari's respectful hands-on assists helps students unravel areas of tension and restriction.
Kari completed the Forrest Yoga Foundation Teacher Training and the Advanced Teacher Training and continues to study with Ana Forrest. Additional trainings with Sarah Powers in Yin Yoga and a 500-hr advanced teacher training guided by Daniel Orlansky in Yoga of Energy Flow greatly influence her teaching. Ongoing study of CranioSacral Therapy with The Upledger Institute and the Milne Institute informs her hands-on assists.
Her professional yang to her yogic yin? Off the mat she delights in the intellectual challenge of working as a mechanical engineer, investigating train collisions in the United States and developing improvements in transportation safety. Kari holds a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering and has authored over 30 technical publications on the topic of rail crashworthiness. She teaches in STEM workshops for young women and minorities.
