The country is having a long weekend. Do you have any plan as to how to spend the whole weekend? As for me, I do not have any plan. I more want to stay at home and spend the weekend with the little one. I have been away most of the time last month and I want to make it up to the little one as he is already complaining that I don't have time for him anymore.
I also want to focus on my blogs. I have few tasks that waiting to get done. I was also in contact with someone who wants to publish a post in my blog. We closed the deal yesterday but she still needs to submit my blog to the advertiser for approval. I hope my blog meet their requirement.
While typing this blog post, we have power interruption again. We have been experiencing power interruption since yesterday. I only hope it is not a whole day without electricity as I do have a lot of work to do online like blog hopping and working on my few tasks.

Oh Vantage Pointe…what were you ever thinking…
Yesterday, Vantage Pointe announced that it "halted sales on the 679–unit condo project and is returning deposits to dozens of buyers who had been waiting to close escrow." The San Diego Union Tribune also noted that this was the second time in the last year that Vantage Pointe has had to give deposits back – Vantage Pointe previously had refunded deposits to about 300 buyers due to new lending guidelines that required a higher pre-sale percentage. It's hard to say that I'm shocked of the news, rather I'm shocked it took this long.
Currently there are approximately 200 tenants, with plenty of room for hundreds more. The UT reported that the $280 million project has defaulted on its $210 million construction loan earlier this year and that it has not been successfully sold to any investors.
The developer, Point of View, is a Canadian company that has never built anything outside of its native country(aside from Vantage Pointe obviously), but appears to be working on a project in Maui. And while I feel bad for them, I honestly have no idea what they were thinking when they built this development. The building is in a less than ideal location, it's far larger than anything else downtown, they didn't phase the building or sales and the timing was terrible. As Peter Dennehy, the VP of John Burns Real Estate Consulting, stated, "urban projects are tough with this number of units, they're tough to pull off unless you have smoking market conditions"….I'd say that's putting it lightly.
However, I do have to commend Pointe of View for returning the deposits and for paying buyers an additional $8000 since some can no longer qualify for the federal first-time buyer tax credit. I'm not sure if they're doing this for everyone who would have qualified, but the UT reported that Pointe of View was doing this for at least one buyer. Hopefully, someone can come in and turn this project around, but it's going to be tough. In my opinion, in order to sell it, an investor/developer would have to come in and restructure the development with fewer, larger condos and lower prices. I guess only time will tell.

The muggy air in Thailand is seductive. You don't want it to invade your space but it gets under your clothes and makes you wet anyways. Stepping out of the airport terminal in Thailand for the first time, the air is the first thing you'll notice. It's smells like an ever-present wet dog. And none of the locals seem to mind.
The weather here is just as sneaky as it is seductive. You never know when the rain will strike. One minute it's as bright as the equator-foce sun can shine, the next, you're running for cover from a torrential downpour. Then it's sunny again. This combination of intense rain followed by sweltering heat creates a virtually inescapable sauna.
Rain doesn't take any prisoners in Thailand.
It's pouring buckets outside our Phuket hotel room at 5am. A knock at the door. Just the hotel staff waking us up for a friendly flood warning. The water is rising close to our door step. The frogs right outside are croaking louder than they usually do. Probably mocking us for our inferior irrigation.
Minutes later, the water welcomes itself into our room uninvited. We quickly gather all of our valuables and place it on shelves high above the vulnerable ground. Minutes pass and the entire room is an inch deep in rainwater. The next day, the sun emerges and the water evaporates into the air like nothing happened. Just another wet day in Thailand.

Something about the fall is making my cats go a little nuts. Maybe it's the cooling weather. Maybe it's the fact that night is expanding in the world, and they are creatures of the night. Maybe they are just a little nuts.
Whatever it is, they are running randomly around the house, attacking things (shoes, tennis balls, the dog, each other.)
As I watch them, I realize they are taking play seriously. This is something I don't really do enough.
It is something I need to do more in my life and my writing.Because I'm feeling desperate for growth right now, and one thing I used to do when I was growing, was play. A lot. But then I got all grown up, and I put away both growing and playing a little too much, I think.
So today, I'm going to go sit in the sun and write something silly and joyful. Maybe I will share it with you. Maybe I won't. But I'm going to commit to making it fun. Who knows, maybe I'll run around the house, throw myself down on the living room floor and attack a tennis ball. Or maybe I'll go for a walk and enjoy the fall color. But I'm going to commit to more play.
So, I'm off. And I hope you are playing too.

Good Service. That Guy Randy is a genuinely good guy and mechanic. I highly recommend this place to anybody
We've taken our vehicles to Kustom Illusions from the first month they opened in Cheyenne. Couldn't ask for any better. Customer friendly, genuine, best NAPA parts, always timely, low and fair rates & most of all--master mechanics that get it right the first time, every time.

Recently I read 'Good to Great' by Jim Collins a book that describes the processes and structures that allowed eleven companies to transition from good to great and outperform the market by a factor of three for sustained periods.
One story in this book stood out to me and I used it as the basis for a conversation I had with a group of Year Six students. It is a simple concept that shows how sustained effort produces results more effectively than bursts of energy that are not sustained. It also offers a promise that with time, the effort applied every day will produce results that increase in magnitude and make ongoing success flow.
The story begins with a flywheel of massive proportions and enormous mass. It lies dormant as an undeniable proof of Newton's First law; objects at rest will remain at rest. This particular flywheel is so massive that at first it seems almost impossible to move and yet that is the task at hand, for you to push this flywheel into motion. At the end of the first day of pushing with all your might it has barely moved at all, despite your best efforts, by the end of the second day its movement almost goes unnoticed but you keep pushing. Day after day you push and each day the momentum builds, slowly inexorably the flywheel begins to turn.
Even as weeks pass by you push at that flywheel and slowly, little by little the momentum builds. You push just as hard as you did on day one but the results are now gaining in size, the flywheel is beginning to work with you, each push builds more momentum and the momentum helps drive the wheel forward. As you reach the point where the flywheel's momentum becomes greater than its mass you continue to push with the energy you did on the first day but now each effort produces larger and larger results as the flywheel spins with ever greater velocity.
The next piece is what makes the story worth sharing.
At this point a passerby notices the huge flywheel spinning at great speed, its sides a blur of motion, you beside it pushing with all your might. The passer by stops for a moment and asks 'What was it that caused the flywheel to spin so fast?' 'What thing did you do, what moment got it all moving so well?' You stop and think, you look puzzled and confused. The question has no sensible answer for it was no one thing, no single moment, no disconnected action. The flywheel gained its motion because on day one you pushed and you have not stopped pushing.
I like the story because it focuses on success as a result of continuous effort and it shows that with time the results of the effort increase in magnitude. It is not a 'climb the mountain' story with days after days of hard grind, where every day is as hard as the one before but eventually you reach the summit. The flywheel has no top, but the effort does pay off as the results of each push add up to ever increasing levels of personal success. It is a great story for the growth mindset. Success in this story is purely a result of what you do day-in, day-out. It is not a lucky moment, it is not possessing great strength or having a brilliant mind that reveals a breakthrough strategy. Success against the flywheel comes from every little push that you apply in the right direction adding up to ever increased results through sustained efforts.
I finish with the questions I left the students with, what is your flywheel? and what will you do today, tomorrow and everyday to get that flywheel moving?

The General Assembly is set to adjourn tomorrow, but it unfortunately looks like we will do so without finishing the state budget.
As I've mentioned in previous emails, on February 20th we passed the 2014-2016 House budget with a bipartisan vote of 74-25. This budget takes a "savings first" approach and provides funding for many critical areas to include $48 million for mental health services; $530.9 million for public education; $210 million to higher education; and includes millions to fully fund our Virginia Retirement System (VRS) obligations by 2016, three years earlier than required.
At this time the House and Senate budget proposals are very close. The bottom lines are separated by one-tenth of one percent, a difference that could be easily closed if Senate budget conferees would come to the table to seriously negotiate.
Unfortunately, however, our conferees have consistently encountered a slow, unresponsive attitude from Senate Democrats. At this critical time Governor McAuliffe has traveled around Virginia grandstanding for one political issue rather than work with us to negotiate the differences in the budget.
By failing to pass a budget, we are ignoring the fact that numerous entities around the state need Virginia's budget passed long before July 1, the deadline before a potential government shutdown. Local governments, state agencies, our colleges and universities, school boards, and many businesses that contract with the state look to the state budget for guidance as they prepare their budgets for the upcoming fiscal year. They cannot wait until July. They need to know now how much they can count on from the state in order to set their own budgets.
Without a budget College Boards of Visitors, who depend on the state budget as they work this spring to set tuition rates for the next year, will be forced to prepare for a worst case scenario. This could result in double digit tuition increases that our students and families cannot afford.
Our local school divisions will be forced to rethink teacher position openings, renewed contracts, new school supplies, employee healthcare plans, and expanded extracurricular activities if they don't have a State budget to work from.
Local governments are relying on state funding for road maintenance, payments to VRS, and new Department of Environmental Quality requirements.
Every day that we delay, we are causing more uncertainty for these and many other citizens that are depending on the state to pass a budget well before the July 1 deadline.
House Republican Leadership has called for a special session after we pass the budget to debate the issues of Medicaid expansion on its merits. This will ensure funding for our teachers, schools, firefighters, police officers and local governments are not used as leverage to implement Medicaid expansion.
The Senate Medicaid expansion proposal is language only. It has no impact on our state budget, appropriates no funds, and generates no budget savings. Therefore it could easily be separated from the budget, and the Governor has the authority to call a special session to ensure that we act on it.
This is an issue that many Virginians have strong feelings about on both sides. Though I do not support Medicaid expansion, I recognize that a number of Virginians, including Governor McAuliffe, do. For that reason I believe it is important that we continue this debate. I do not think we should do so, however, at the expense of those citizens who desperately need us to pass a clean budget now.
There is historical precedent for this. On numerous occasions in the past we have removed key issues from the budget to be dealt with during a special session to avoid a budget impasse. Governor George Allen called a special session in 1994 on parole reform. Governor Jim Gilmore called a special session in 1998 on car-tax relief. Governor Tim Kaine called a special session in 2006 on transportation.
A special session would have several benefits. The most obvious benefit would be that postponing the Medicaid debate to a special session would allow us to avoid a shutdown and finish budget negotiations on proposals that are currently already 99.9% in agreement. It would also allow legislators time to go home and talk to constituents about this critical issue. Finally, it would allow those in favor of Medicaid expansion to craft meaningful legislation that can stand alone and be considered on its merits.
Virginia is 1 of 12 states with an AAA bond rating from all three rating agencies. Last year we were named the best state for doing business by Forbes magazine. We did not earn these accolades by using our budget as a political tool.
The Virginia Chamber of Commerce released a statement this week that supports the House Republican call for a special session. They cited the serious implications budget uncertainty could have for the Commonwealth's business community. Investment decisions and business relocations could be discouraged and Virginia's reputation as the nation's best state for business could be discredited.
I truly hope the Governor and the Senate will stop holding up the budget over a partisan, political issue; an act that is contrary to Virginia tradition. We should pass a clean budget on time and hold a special session on Medicaid expansion.
This Session we have advanced bipartisan legislation that helps our veterans, our teachers, our children, our roads, and those who are most vulnerable. We owe it to these citizens to pass our budget on time.
Sign the Petition
Virginia's budget is not a bargaining chip. Regardless of how you feel about the Affordable Care Act or Medicaid Expansion, holding hostage funding for our schools, teachers, police officers, firefighters and local governments is wrong.
If you agree with me, please let Governor McAuliffe know. You can do so by signing this petition asking Governor McAuliffe to pass a clean budget.
Thank you so much to those of you who have visited us in Richmond, and also to those of you who have called, written, and emailed us over the last few weeks. We are still in the process of responding to all of our emails, and we appreciate your patience.
As the regular session draws to a close, we will once again be operating out of the district. You can reach us by phone at 540-448-3999.
Throughout the interim, please be aware that our Richmond office is closed. Though we try to routinely monitor the voicemails in our Richmond office, we ask that for the quickest response that you please call our district phone number.
You can also continue to reach us by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, and by mail at Post Office Box 239, Staunton, Virginia 24402.
As always, thank you for allowing me to serve as your delegate.

Historical brewery
Free guided tours are offered on Sundays at 10.30 a.m. and 12 p.m. and also Tuesday to Thursday at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Beer is a natural beverage produced by fermentation and can look back on a history of over 6,000 years. Reason enough for the Technikmuseum to exhibit processes and technology for beer brewing. The historical brewery was hence set up in the museum park, in a former warehouse of a brewery (Nürnberger Tucher Bräu AG).
Although the brewery does not operate, the exhibition concentrates on explaining the traditional methods of brewing using technical equipment from the early 20th century.
The brewing room with its vats, dating back to 1909, forms the heart of the brewery. It is accessible via a historical, cast-iron stairs and, with its copper vats, shining fittings, handwheels and pipes, represents a very special technical monument.
All the other brewing equipment is clearly arranged on four levels around the brewing room, so that visitors can easily follow the art of brewing.
Until the middle of the 19th century, brewing was characterised by experienced and manual labour. After this time, science and technology gained a foothold in this craft. The historical brewery displays this phase of development, i.e. the transition from craft to industry.

This is so heartbreaking! I don't know about you, but I am very disappointed!
The massive Earthbound Farm organic produce corporation is expected to be sold to the WhiteWave Foods Company in a $600 million deal that has raised the eyebrows of organic consumers and advocates across the country.
WhiteWave spun off of Dean Foods, Inc. in 2012, the latter a company that has vehemently opposed GMO labeling with anti-labeling campaign donations. The company's current CEO is Gregg Engles, the former CEO of Dean Foods, adding to distrust of the company among organic watchdog organization leaders like Mark Kastel.
Kastel, the senior farm policy analyst at agricultural organization for the Cornucopia Institute, said that WhiteWave has done much to stretch the definition of "organic food" in this article from Food Safety News.
He later went on to add that WhiteWave's Horizon dairy label produces virtually all of their milk from massive 10,000-cow operations with the animals living in their own filth, diluting the meaning of the term organic.
Dean Foods is not listed as an owner of WhiteWave anymore, as the PR reps on Earthbound's Facebook page have pointed out.
But it's hard not to be suspicious of the influence Dean Foods has has considering that its former CEO is at the helm of WhiteWave, isn't it?
Dean Foods also notably converted Silk's flagship soybean products from organic to "natural" without changing the packaging, except to remove the USDA organic symbol. The "natural" soybeans actually contained GMOs according to a Cornucopia Institute investigation.
Eventually, Silk wised up and made key products Non-GMO Project Verified, but the damage was already done in the minds of consumers.
WhiteWave's Engles released the following statement.
"With Horizon Organic and Earthbound Farm, WhiteWave will now provide the two most popular gateways for consumers to enter into the organic category – produce and dairy."
Meanwhile, Earthbound continues to handle customer complaints on its Facebook page:
"During our nearly 30 years of farming organic fruits and vegetables, we've joined forces with some great partners along the way. It's all been done to further our mission of providing the benefits of organic food to as many people as possible while serving as a positive catalyst for change. This transaction is another such partnership," one rep. wrote in response to a customer inquiry about the sale.
As of right now, Earthbound is entirely organic and GMO-free, and virtually all of the produce they sell doesn't have a commercial GMO equivalent yet anyway.
So should we continue to support the company? Personally I would buy from an alternative smaller-scale organic company if possible.
Dean Foods already has been shown to have sinister motives and the WhiteWave company has been shown to cut corners on organics. It's hard to believe that Dean Foods doesn't have some sort of say in the WhiteWave Co.'s operations considering the ties they still have, and we all know how desperate the big food companies have become due to the ongoing organic revolution.
The Organic Consumers Association has previously called for boycotts of Horizon and Silk, two WhiteWave properties.
While a boycott of Earthbound isn't quite necessary just yet, I would definitely feel better buying from smaller farms whenever possible, and to keep a close eye on this situation.

Several regions in the West are gearing up for the start of All-Star play. One of the biggest rivalries to re-emerge over the last couple of years is the match between the SoCal Griffins and the NorCal Pelicans. It has become the curtainraiser to the start of the club season and has given players and opportunity to impress the likes of PRO Rugby. The Griffins men's side held their tryouts over the weekend while the women have their next week. That will also be followed by invitational scrimmages.
The Pelicans will be holding their tryouts on Sunday October 30th with the team to be chosen the next day. They will then have several days of training before taking on a team of All-Star Selects on the 16th of November and then the Griffins on the 19th. You can register for the combine on the 30th by clicking here.
Take the jump to read more.
One of the key things with the NorCal vs. SoCal match is that priority is often given to players under the age of 23. The teams have had U-23 matches against each other in the past as well as the women's fixture.
Down in Texas the Texas Rugby Union Women's All-Star team will take on sides from the Mid-Atlantic and the Chicago Area in Grand Prairie the weekend before Thanksgiving. Tryouts for the side will be held in a couple of weeks were coaches Holly Iker and Kate Turbin will make the selections.
Of course previously this fall select sides from the Empire, Capital, and Carolinas have all played matches.

Titanfall Xbox Companion App Out Now
Yesterday marked the release of Titanfall's first map pack (read here to find out if it's worth a purchase). Today, Respawn and EA have released something new to help you track stats and stay aware on the battlefield.
The Titanfall Companion App will allow you to view your stats on the go, but it also serves as a mini-map when connected to your Xbox One. You can also apply filters to the maps and get information you can't on your television.
We tested the app, and once you are in a game, the minimap will show the gamertags of your teammates and the positions of some enemies and Titans. The map can be locked to your character or scrolled.
You can download it free for iOS and Android now, but be aware there is no support for Origin yet. This will only work with Xbox 360 and Xbox One right now. For more on Titanfall, check out our impressions of the Expedition map pack.
Update: Windows Phone and Windows 8 versions of the companion app are available now, too.
Our Take
I'm not a big fan of second-screen minimaps in shooters and found it a bit distracting to look at the one on my phone. However, this one has some other functions (like Titanfall lore and info on weaponry) that might appeal to fans.

- I cannot lie, I thought these boys were one-hit wonders. What possibly could they make better than "No Flex Zone" ?
- Next thing you know, "No Type" comes out and they beat the stereotype.
- Sidenote: I am still trying to figure out how these guys have no type but yet bad b*t*hes is the only thing that they like. I could have swore that was a type but I digress.
- Ok so about the album #SremmLife (I mean that is what is most important)
- Disclaimer: If you are one of those people who only enjoy deep rappers who make you think or are expecting a album like a Cole or Krit....This one is not for you.
- Personally, I think #SremmLife is a great album to start the year.
- It is a TURN UP album.
- This is the type of album you listen to in your car with the homies, in the gym working out or getting ready to go out.
- The album is FULL of hits. Are Slim Jimmy and Swae and Lee the best rappers? Hell No! Do they know how to make banngers? HELL YEAH. (Does not hurt to be signed to Mike Will Made It either).
- None of the three singles the group has put out are the album's best song to me. ("Throw Some Mo" is the third single featuring Nicki Minaj)
- The best song to me easily is "UNLOCK THE SWAG". I mean this is song that will get you in the zone to do whatever you want to do.
- Sidenote again: My homie has an alter ego when he get intoxicated and I told him "Man if you want to tap into your alter ego when you are not drunk, go listen to "Unlock The Swag".
- "This Could Be Us" is probably the least turnt song on the album but will be a fan favorite
- Low Points: "Lit Like Bic (Intro)","Yno"
- High Points: "Unlock the Swag", "My X", "This Could Be Us" (and of course the three singles)
- My Final Point: Do not expect the best lyrics. Do not expect thought provoking tunes. Expect to be HYPE! Expect great production. Expect catchy lines. Expect to TURN UP. (Shoutout to Brock for putting me on this album)

Contact management is at the heart of any SFA application, and Maximizer is no exception. Entering and maintaining contacts is extremely straightforward, and you can get all of the critical information on any contact into the database in no time. Strong calendaring and task list components tie all key customer-related activities together.
Maximizer provides a useful opportunity management feature to help you convert prospects into customers. Its ability to link a specific strategy to an entry helps you work the opportunity to conclusion by following a set of best practices. A predefined set of sales strategies is installed with Maximizer, and you can easily create new strategies specific to your company.
Maximizer also lets you hook into IIS upon installation, opening up a new suite of features via the Web. Using this integration and other provided tools, you can create portals for your employees, partners, and customers. eStore Manager can create a full-featured e-commerce site built on your existing Maximizer database.

An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) is prepared to analyze whether or not a project is likely to cause significant environmental impacts. The City of Duluth Planning Commission is the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) for the City of Duluth. Information on active and older EAWs can be found on the Environmental Assessment Worksheets (EAWs) page.
Natural Resources Overlay Zoning District
Community Planning oversees environmental regulations relating to wetlands, floodplains, and shorelands. These regulations can be found in the UDC as part of the Natural Resources Overlay district.
Wetlands may have water year-round or seasonally. They can be identified by looking at the soil and vegetation in the area, and categorized into wetland types. A handout from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers includes pictures of different wetland types. Here is a link to a webpage that has some frequently asked wetland questions.
If the City believes there are wetlands in the area, you may be required to complete a wetland delineation. The City requires developments to follow the regulations of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA). Wetland delineations and wetland replacement plans are reviewed by the Duluth Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP), which is staffed by representatives from the Department of Natural Resources, Board of Water and Soil Resources, and the South St. Louis County Soil and Water Conservation District. A representative from the Army Corps of Engineers is also included in TEP meetings. For links to wetland applications (not including Notice of Application or Notice of Decision), see Applications and Checklists.
Click here for an external link to wetland consultant (pdf)
Floodplains are areas of the community at greater risk of flooding. They are mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and are incorporated into the interactive Community Planning map. Floodplain regulations govern land uses and building construction, and aim to protect life and property in the case of a flood. Floodplain regulations differ depending on whether a property is in the "floodway" or "flood fringe," as shown on the image below.
Property owners can appeal to FEMA to amend the floodplain map if they think it is incorrect; here is a link to more information on the process: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/waters/watermgmt_section/floodplain/map_appeals.html
Shorelands are areas near water bodies, where activities are most likely to affect water quality and aquatic habitat. The Minnesota DNR has designated shorelands as those areas within 300 feet of a stream and 1000 feet of Lake Superior. They are classified as General Development, Natural Environment, or Coldwater Stream (coldwater streams are those capable of supporting trout populations). Shoreland designations are found on the interactive Community Planning map.
Solar Energy
The below web tool was built using the existing Minnesota Solar Suitability Analysis, but aggregates and summarizes solar measurements for individual buildings in a more focused and user-friendly format, providing locally calibrated results such as installation sizing and cost. It also provides users general solar information applicable in Duluth, such as available incentives, financing and installers.
Link to Duluth Shines! Solar Mapping Tool
Tree Preservation
Our community values our urban forests and trees, and aims to reduce the number of trees impacted when sites are developed. Under UDC regulations in Section 50-25, certain types of development are required to preserve and/or replace trees removed as part of the project.

Bad economy may finally lead to Sunday liquor sales in N.C.
RALEIGH, N.C. — The liquor industry wants to make it legal for liquor stores and bars to sell booze on Sundays, a move that would erase one of the final remnants of the church-driven "blue laws" in North Carolina.
Legislation filed Tuesday would let cities and counties open their local Alcoholic Beverage Control stores and allow restaurants and bars to serve liquor on Sundays.
The recession is buoying the bill's prospects. The long-standing resistance to selling distilled spirits on Sunday may weaken in a state grasping for revenue. Gov. Bev Perdue proposed balancing next year's state budget partly on a higher alcoholic beverage tax. Liquor industry analysts project that North Carolina would get at least an additional $5.5 million in tax revenue by allowing sales on Sundays.

Muhamed Hussein Abdallah: Allegations of Abuse
p. 20873
[…] I am a man who reached 60 years of age. Suffering from many illnesses and vision weaknesses thank God for that […] How come I don't receive any letters just like the rest of the detainees? And tell me what did I commit in order to be treated this way? And also I would like to tell you that I have been through a lot of crisis and hardship since I was in prison in Pakistan. I was sent to Bagram prison, the place which nobody had any consideration for my age and weakness. I was treated very badly. I was subjected to mental and physical abuse. And when I questioned the investigator about this abuse, why are you doing this, they used to make fun of me and say, "Do you still have energy?" After that, I was sent to this Island, where I received worst treatment, worse th[a]n a lo[]t of the other detainees. I was treated and threatened badly. My illness got worse[] and I had never received any medical car. Now I am suffering with vision loss and sharp pain in my teeth […] When I asked repetitively during my imprisonment in Pakistan, what is the cause of my detention" The answer was, "we don't know" […] I felt strange when they transferred me to Bagram, and I used to ask, "What is my fault?" I was treated with all sarcasm and the answer was, "you don't know?" […] When I came to Cuba […] when I used to ask, "what do you want from me?" they said, "you are an old man, you must know a lot[] of thing[s]".

In the past few years, EU's quest to limit its dependency on fossil fuels and to cut CO2 emissions, has brought renewable energy on the peak of the European most successful market developments. While most of the wood industry was struggling with the effects of the financial crisis and a critical drop in consumption, the wood energy sector was setting new records every year.
And indeed the numbers are impressive: in just six years, wood pellets consumption has increased more than 3 times ( from 4,6 mil. tons in 2006, to 14,3 mil. tons in 2012). In the same period, production tripled (3,5 mil. tons, up to 10 million), while imports rose five times (from just 800,000 tons in 2006, to 4,4 mil. tons in 2012). But so far, the potential of the market hasn't reached its limits, as future expectations surpass any of these recent evolutions.
The annual 2013 EU biofuels report forecasts that by 2020, pellet consumption in Europe will be somewhere in the range of 50 to 80 mil. tons per year (2012: 14,3 mil.). Both the advantage of pellet use in heating systems, as well as many power plants are trying to reduce the usage of coal and switch to renewable energy are major factors that will contribute to this upsurge.
However, the European pellet market is facing a dillema: the relatively high costs of wood pellets in Europe have resulted in a massive increase in imports, especially from North America, where raw-material costs are lesser than in the EU. In addition, the two largest pellet pellet producers in the EU, Germany and Sweden, have either slowed down or decreased their production. The consequence is that, in 2012, intra-EU trade of pellets declined by -12%, meanwhile purchases from North America jumped 44%.
Recently, US and Canada have expanded their production capacities, gaining some important shares on the European pellet market. Their combined market share has jumped from 28% in 2011, to 37% in 2012, reaching an all-time record of 43% in the seven months of 2013. But clearly the US exports are rising at a higher pace than the Canadian ones. Last year, the US almost doubled its pellet deliveries to Europe becoming, in just one year, EU's main source of wood pellets. Moreover, in January-July 2013, US pellet shipments to EU further grew by 74% over the same period of 2012, totaling 1,67 million tons.
New pellet plants projects where announced during 2013 in the US, with almost 1,5 mil. tons of new pellets ready to be shipped in Europe in the next years. UK's Drax started construction of two pellet plants (one in Louisiana and the other in Mississippi) with a joint capacity of 900,000 tons per year. Also, Viridis Energy, a Canadian company, already started pellet production in August at its facility in Middle Musquodoboiin/Canada. The production will reach 120,000 tons of pellets per year.
BlueFire Renewables Inc. has integrated a synergistic wood pellet production plant to its facility in Fulton, Mississippi. The reconfigured design will be a 9 million gallon per year ethanol plant integrated with a 400,000 ton per year wood pellet plant. The company says that the pellets will be sold under long term contracts into the European mandated renewable energy market.
The outlook for the upcoming years is interconnected to some factors such as the ability of the EU countries to satisfy internal demand. Although with an expected 4-6 times rise in demand, it is obvious that EU's pellet production will not be able to keep up the pace and will become partially dependent on imports. Already, with recent new pellet plants construction announced in the US, some market predictions estimate that by 2014, the US will cover more than half of all European pellet imports, which means almost 25% of the overall consumption.

"THIS is only the beginning," declared Indonesian President Joko Widodo at a special ceremony at the presidential palace, "[the land being handed back] is still so very small."
Jokowi, as he is known, ushered in the new year by returning some 13,000 hectares of tanah adat or customary land to nine indigenous groups in northern Sumatra, making good on a 2013 Constitutional Court ruling and a promise from when he was elected in 2014.
Back then, the Indigenous People's Alliance of the Archipelago (AMAN) successfully brought a case for land rights before Indonesia's highest court, winning a ruling in favour of the community in question's rights to their hutan adat – customary forest – which had previously been unilaterally claimed as state forest.
The latest Walivaara Glocal News! https://t.co/XSAqV0qMnY Thanks to @Eglantine99 @MimiWinther @MaddeLindstrand #auspol #notmydebt
— Christer Wälivaara (@walivaara) January 5, 2017
The Constitutional Court's ruling modified the wording of the 1999 Forestry Law, thus dividing public forest land between customary and individual state forests. Judge Muhammad Alim of the Constitutional Court said that "[i]ndigenous Indonesians have the right to log their forests and cultivate the land for their personal needs, and the needs of their families."
The 2013 legislative change was estimated to apply to some 32,000 villages and some 40 million indigenous people across the Indonesian archipelago, but until Jokowi's action in 2017 has scarcely seen change in practice.
For much of Indonesia's history, the rich natural resources of the nation's regions have been exploited by Jakarta, with the majority of wealth flowing back to Java at the expense of local communities. The era of democratisation since 1998 has seen the emergence of civil society groups like AMAN able to advocate for indigenous rights, although progress in securing traditional land ownership to date has been limited.
While Indonesia is a signatory to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous peoples, its government has long claimed the concept of indigenous rights is inapplicable as almost all Indonesian citizens are indigenous. Consequently, indigenous peoples have been prosecuted for undertaking traditional cultural practices on their customary lands, due to committing acts deemed illegal by the state like hunting or clearing land. Moreover, the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) states that much of the violence against indigenous people is perpetrated by police officers and corporations due to conflicts over land.

Nevertheless, in December 2014, the Environment and Forestry Ministry agreed to be the trustee of 4.8 million hectares of indigenous maps to be included in the One Map Initiative. This policy is managed by the Geospatial Information Agency and is aimed at resolving conflicts which arise because of overlapping maps and data. In order to facilitate the granting of indigenous land rights, AMAN has itself mapped more than 8.2 million hectares of tanah adat from roughly 365 ethnic groups across Indonesia.
According to AMAN secretary general Abdon Nababan, "we (should) understand that indigenous rights is a constitutional human right in Indonesia. The challenge for us now is that for the past 50 years, we haven't had the administration or the operational procedures to register that right. We have to start from zero in terms of the administration system and also the institutional arrangements."
This month's return of community lands from pulp giant Toba Pulp Lestari (TPL) to the North Sumatra Indigenous community of Pandumaan – Sipituhuta represents the formal beginning of this process.
"We are thankful and appreciate the government, specifically Jokowi and the Minister of Forestry, for the redesignation of these customary lands," said Suryati Simanjuntak, the executive director of Kelompok Studi Pengembangan Prakarsa Masyarakat (KSPPM), a regional human rights NGO.
"Still, the fight of the community must continue to be strengthened, especially those who have not yet received their rights."
SEE ALSO: Human rights: Does Indonesia's Jokowi walk the talk?
AMAN has previously called for the government to explicitly apologise for decades of denying indigenous owners their rights. The Rainforest Action Network has called on Jokowi to comprehensively "fulfill [his] promise" and return 12.7 million hectares of additional land. The government is also yet to deliver on its commitment to develop a special taskforce for indigenous rights.
Coordinator of the Borneo Futures initiative, Erik Meijaard, has warned against handing back land to indigenous peoples too quickly without developing effective management plans. Inadequate oversight could see powerful community members selling off land to business sector for personal gain, thus leading to further deforestation and social conflict.
He argues that "Indonesia needs competent institutions and careful and transparent processes for guiding the indigenous land rights issue to make sure that affected communities are the main beneficiaries."
In any case, Jokowi's return of tanah adat early on in 2017 is a major step in the right direction towards fulfilling the rights of Indonesia's many millions of indigenous peoples.

Echoes Revisited
Here is the cover we used on ECHOES REVISITED, our 20th Anniversary issue of Echoes Magazine. The cover is by David Burton. We had 100 copies printed at Office Depot in 2002, but only sold a handful, taking a big loss. That means we still have a lot of issues stored. Copies are still available for $20.00, plus postage. Contact me, if interested. And coming very soon, ECHOES 30, the 30th anniversary book of Echoes. This is being published in POD CreateSpace by Altus Press, and well over 300 pages. Everyone is aware of the quality of Matt Moring's books, so the 30th anniversary book will be a must for pulp fans and old Echoes subscribers, as well as the new pulp fans. Lots of in-depth articles and pulp cover scans. More later.

According to David Cameron the United Kingdom will come to an end if we vote to leave Europe on the 23Rd June 2016.
He says it could lead to war in Europe, Terrorist attacks, rising cost of living. It will affect jobs, immigration, our position in Europe and the economy will be in ruins. As opposed to what Mr Cameron? Letting Turkey join the EU and then giving them the legal right to come to the UK which is already at saturation point with immigrants who are milking our system to the point our housing, education, NHS are being overwhelmed.
Our once thriving cities are now all but in foreign hands and you hear a myriad of languages where once English was spoken. Housing and businesses are now selling foreign goods by foreign people to foreign customers and the money sent to foreign shores. Even small rural villages have now had their identities replaced with the arrival of so called immigrants who have wiped away centuries of local custom and culture with their own knowing full well any opposition or resentment will be frowned upon and then the dreaded "racist "word will be used to quell the protest regardless of how legitimate the argument maybe. And to prop all this up we have an ever expanding army of lefty liberals who will stop at nothing to see this country and the people replaced with their own warped version of utopia, a land of all races and creeds who can come and take and go and do whatever they want. These liberals are not just the hippy smoking layabouts from the 1960's and 70's they are a dangerous breed of culture replacement despots who have a foot in positions of power and in particular the media. Where once news channels gave you the news we are now fed a very biased political left hand and distorted version of world events that actually have little resemblance to the truth. They will bend any story or event that shows things like Islam in a bad light until it is no longer got any truth at all in what happened. In this country you are no longer judged on ability or qualifications but you must fit in to what the liberals want or it is not going to happen.
The consequences of where we are going as a nation are obvious to many but they are now outnumbered and when the inevitable destruction of this country is complete and the liberals finally understand it will be too late. If you think this is an exaggeration look at how this country was just 50 years ago, do you recognise it?

Business simulation tycoon games have been around for a while. The idea of letting users manage the various aspects of a business in order to successfully achieve goals lends itself to some seriously immersive gaming. Unfortunately, the sheer complexity and learning curve keeps most games in this genre from gaining mass appeal. Very few tycoon games succeed in maintaining the balance between approachability and complexity. Game Dev Story by Kairosoft is one such gem.
In Game Dev Story, the game developers put you in their own shoes, tasking you with running a game development studio, building games and keeping your fans happy for decades. You would think a game development team would know what goes in building a successful gaming business. They do indeed, and execute the concept with great energy, a fine eye for detail and some very subtle but unmistakable humor to boot.
You start with a small game studio with a couple of employees and a secretary who guides you throughout the game. She tells you how to get started, explains every event and how you can respond to it, and does pretty much everything except making decisions. You are the one who makes the decisions — that's your task throughout the game. The aim is to run a successful game development studio for twenty years raking in as much cash as you can. You can continue to play beyond that, but the high scores don't count any more. The next option is to then start from scratch and try to break your record.
If all this sounds confusing to you, I can't guarantee you will enjoy the game very much. There are two types of people who may not enjoy the game very much – those who have little or no clue about video games (and don't want to get into them either), and those who are looking for casual, mindless fun from a game. Game Dev Story requires gamers to pay attention to every detail of their studio, from picking game genres to hiring the right people to keeping tabs on cash available. Hiring, training, licensing gaming console: it all costs money. If a game doesn't sell enough, you may find yourself doing contract jobs to keep the cash flowing. Games are reviewed and the scores impact how well it sells in the market. There is even an annual awards function where your game can win trophies for the best game, graphics, and sound — as well as for "worst game".
To cut a long story short, playing Game Dev Story is an exercise in multi-tasking. It is by no means an easy game to master, but the complexity level is so well balanced, you always feel like there is a chance to top the ranks with your next game.
The first thing you notice about the game is that the interface is not exactly contemporary. It seems like one designed to work on any mobile phone, with two buttons – for Save and Menu – at the bottom corners covering much of the interaction. You can also enable an option to use a control pad like the one found on most feature phones to completely skip the touch interface and go retro. If you prefer the more freeform approach, touching anywhere on the screen simply opens the menu.
A problem with an interface not built for touch, is that it depends on the user navigating to an option to provide details about it and then selecting it. On the touchscreen, this is taken care of by using a single tap for enabling an option and another tap for selecting it. It takes some getting used to, but isn't a show-stopper in any way. A horizontal bar just above the buttons does a good job of providing all the data you need to make decisions in the game. This is usually divided into two or three layers, which can be accessed by swiping your finger over the bar. Tapping the bar opens up a more detailed set of stats.
The game uses a pixel art style, which does a great job setting up the environment of your game studio and all the frantic action that goes into the development of a game. Your employees work on their computers, adding one of four characteristics to the game they're building – fun, creativity, graphics and sound – each represented by icons appearing on their heads and in the information bar at the bottom. Every once in a while, a team member will get a stroke of inspiration and go on fire churning out points for the game.
The game is full of cheeky humor, be it the names of the employees – take Gilly Bates, Pablo Picolo & Maris Sharpovich for example – or the game consoles and manufacturers – how about Intendro, Sonny and the Playstatus. The same goes for other games that you are up against at the annual gaming awards. Overall, I was very impressed with the fine details all through the game that you can't miss, especially if you are a gamer yourself.
Game Dev Story is not for everyone, but if you have the slightest interest in video games in general and the patience to work through the learning curve, it can be an extremely satisfying gaming experience. It is a complex game, but not too hard once you get the hang of things.
It is not perfect by any means. The interface could have been much better suited for touchscreen devices; heck, it doesn't even cover the entire screen space available if you hide the control pad! It also tends to slow down a bit and stutter during longer sessions. But these are minor niggles in an otherwise brilliant experience and won't stop you from losing hours and hours of your life trying to build that one blockbuster game to beat them all. In the end, it gets a big thumbs up and a must-buy tag from me.
Game Dev Story is a business simulation that puts gamers in charge of their own gaming studio with a 20 year timeline to make a mark in the gaming industry. Beautiful, funny and insanely addictive, this is a must have for anyone with an interest in video games.

Despite the longer hours in French schools-- school here is only four times a week-- they have three recesses, and lunch is 90 minutes long. Those that stay and eat at the cantine get treated to a four- course meal made from mostly fresh ingredients. Others go home for lunch.
Esther and Isla stay at the cantine two days per week, and come home two days. Did I mention there is a four day school week in France?
As much as I enjoy the two full days without them, and knowing their palates are being stimulated like only the French can stimulate a palate-- I'm not talking about French kissing, here--I like that they come home for lunch.
The walk to and from school is pleasant, and sociable. There are often swans to watch. We get to reconnect and they get to decompress. They both often do artwork and Essie even did some knitting Friday after lunch. I love that she has the chance, and the desire, to do that. She needs the alone time. The quiet time.
Wednesday, the day off, is activity day. Isla has ballet and Esther has riding in the morning and a two-hour art class in the afternoon. But even without these scheduled activities, the mind-expanding opportunities are all around us.
Life in Europe is a history, geography, geology, anthropology and sociology text book all in one. It is impossible to go anywhere in France, or Europe for that matter, and not bang head first into something educational, enlightening and historically significant.
Even it it's just the men we see, without fail, peeing in public each and every time we leave the house. That and the people driving with a dash board filled with baguettes, or riding their bikes with the baguette under their arm. Either way, the baguette is present. As present as the copious dog poop.
Just being here, breathing the air, drinking-- or not daring to drink-- the water, riding up, and skiing down the formidable alps, looking into, or licking, Patisserie windows, Boulangerie windows,butcher windows, boutique windows, watching Luthiers (violin makers) at work, driving down mountain passes, through deep tunnels, over borders and through passport checkpoints. Or driving past clifftop castles. And visiting lakeside castles.
Like the Chateau de Chillon, on the edge of the Lake of Geneva, where we lurked about in the dungeon, listening to the waves lap against the sides of the castle and watching the sunlight, reflected off the water, dance on the stone pillars. Pillars to which prisoners were once shackled.
Oh to have unlimited funds and a heart even wilder, and more daring than my own.
I'm tempted, sometimes, to just throw caution to the wind, start a new blog, called "Debt be damned" or something like that, grab my Visa card, the girls, and a few changes of clothing, buy a Eurail ticket, and pass Go on a European art, history and culture tour.
Could you imagine?
First stop would be Florence to see Esther's favorite all time painting, The Birth of Venus, by Boticelli.
Then, perhaps, we could go up to Amsterdam to the Rembrandt and Van Gogh museums. Then to Berlin to the Holocaust museum, then to Monet's Gardens in Giverny--we've done the Louvre-- and Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern.
The Lindt chocolate factory outside Zurich.... Yum, then over to Kitzbuhel to schuss down the Hahnenkamm...
The options are dizzying. It's good to dream.
It's good to dream.

text: Why It's Not Enough to Just be Thankful Written by Robert Kiyosaki Read time: ... Original post date: November 24, 2015 The difference between being thankful and doing thankful This time of year, it's common to take some time to reflect on the things that you're thankful for. Most of us are blessed. Quite often we've received far more than we need and definitely more than we deserve from others. As a young man, I was blessed to have my rich dad and poor dad. My poor dad was a great man who gave me many things, including integrity, love, and a hard work ethic. My rich dad also gave me many great things, including street smarts, financial intelligence, and a love for business and investing. One thing rich dad said to me rings true this time of year. "It's not enough to just be thankful, you have to do thankful." By this, rich dad meant that we needed to do something with the blessings we receive. It would not have been enough for rich dad to teach me all he did on money, business, and investing only to squander that knowledge away. If I had done nothing with that knowledge, I could have been thankful emotionally and mentally, but not through my actions. In order to show my true thanks, I had to take the knowledge that my rich dad gave me and put it to work. Often in life, thankfulness is counterfeit. We say so with our mouths, and we may even mean so, but when the rubber hits the road, we do nothing with our blessings. This explains the trust fund kid who wastes away his family's hard-earned wealth, and it also explains the lottery winner who goes broke within a decade. In life, blessings often come cheaply. The real cost of a blessing comes in the lifelong stewardship of that blessing. It's a great honor and a privilege to do so—and one not everyone is willing or able to do. This Thanksgiving and throughout the holidays, I encourage you to sit down, reflect, and determine where you are simply being thankful versus where you are doing thankful. What you find out may surprise you. And the question is, once you find out, what are you going to do? Happy Thanksgiving. Original publish date: November 24, 2015

Cover art for this week's Spectator Australia on John Ruddick's campaign to democratise the Liberal party - and how the faceless men are trying to push him out.
Below are the thumbnails and sketch. The first was a parody of Liberty Leading the People by Delacroix, with Ruddick as the bare-chested Lady Liberty and Abbott, Menzies and Howard leading the charge. Actually, this was suggested by the editor, but he ended up picking the 'boarding up' concept instead.
