Self-contained RFID Cube Helps Keep Out Foreign Material
Source: Claire SwedbergAfter completing tests of a radio frequency identification system at two nuclear power plants, Oregon company Access Solutions has made its RFID-based Cube available for use in tracking tools, materials and personnel into and out of controlled areas at power-generation facilities. The self-contained turnkey structure can be installed at a site and used to manage the flow of individuals and tools into and out of an area controlled for foreign material exclusion (FME), or for clean conditions.
Since 2005, Access Solutions has provided its FME services to power-generating companies to track which personnel enter and exit a controlled zone, as well as any tools (such as wrenches, pliers or electronic equipment) they bring into and out of the area. Not only does Access Solutions' on-site staff confirm each worker's identity, they also assign lanyards and tethers to that individual, to hold tools in place (thereby ensuring the tools do not drop and break or get lost). In addition, they inspect each tool as it enters and leaves the area, to confirm that no small pieces are left behind. The staff also confirms that no one inadvertently carries foreign material adhered to the bottom of their shoes, and that they have no loose items-such as change in their pockets, jewelry or chewing gum-that could cause a problem for the functioning of machinery within the controlled zone.
The process, however, was a manual one. Therefore, in 2008, the company began looking into employing RFID technology to capture data regarding each person and tool entering and leaving the area, thereby allowing the recording of more accurate data, and making the check-in and check-out procedure faster, says Eric Bergstrom, Access Solutions' director. The firm began piloting its RFID-enabled version of its FME service at two unnamed American nuclear power plants, in order to confirm that radio frequency identification could be employed to effectively track the traffic of tools and personnel. At the two participating power plants, Access Solutions attached EPC Gen 2 passive ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID tags either directly to tools, or to embedded nylon tethers joined to those tools. Access Solutions' personnel then utilized RFID readers and S3Edge Spotlight software to capture and store information about the movement of the tools and personnel.
In 2010, based on the experience acquired during those pilots, the company developed the Cube. A steel frame structure insulated against weather and sound, and measuring 8 feet by 8 feet by 9 feet in size, the Cube is designed to function as a self-contained, mobile and fully automated FME center.
The Cube enables Access Solutions to provide RFID-enabled FME service almost immediately, without requiring a power plant to set up an area with furniture and other infrastructure, as it would otherwise need to do in order to accommodate FME personnel and the services they provide. To ensure the RFID technology's functionality under rugged conditions, Bergstrom says, Access Solutions modified the hardware, , though he declines to describe what the proprietary modifications consisted of.
When a company uses the Cube, Access Solutions provides RFID-enabled ID badges with a photograph of each worker authorized to enter a controlled area. The unique ID number encoded to a badge's built-in Xerafy EPC Gen 2 passive RFID tag is linked to the employee's name, title and picture in the company's back-end system, using the S3Edge software as the engine to record and display the information when needed-and, if requested, to integrate that data with the customer's existing plant-management software. Access Solutions also utilizes a variety of other standard UHF tags in addition to Xerafy tags, for situations in which such durability is not necessary.
Facility personnel are also provided with several lanyards that can be attached to a belt or wristband. The tool tethers are then clipped to that lanyard, thereby ensuring that if a worker drops a tool, it will not fall far. This safety precaution can be important in an environment in which employees may be working on the top of a turbine or generator, in which a tool could fall many feet and get lost or break into small pieces. Each lanyard is fitted with its own EPC Gen 2 RFID tag, the ID number of which is linked to the ID of the individual to whom that lanyard has been assigned.
Upon arriving at the entrance to a controlled area, workers stop at the Cube, located next to that entrance, in order to check in and hand over personal items (such as jewelry, wallets and cell phones) for storage in cubbies within the Cube. Each individual then receives tethers and lanyards, as well as an ID badge, assuming he or she has not already been provided with one.
The RFID interrogator at the counter captures the ID numbers of the tools, tethers and lanyards as they are placed on or located near the counter. For sites where workers are not issued ID badge, an RFID tag can be attached to each individual's hardhat. The tags' ID numbers are then captured, linked to data about the tools, and stored in the software.
Whether a tag is attached directly to the tool, or to a tether attached to that item, its ID number is linked to information regarding that tool in the software, along with a picture of it. In that way, as each tag is read at the FME station, Access Solutions' staff members seated within the Cube can view a photograph of the tool on a touch screen computer with either a wired or wireless connection to the reader, and can easily determine whether it is the appropriate tool, and whether there are any missing pieces.
When leaving, each worker again stops at the Cube, and the tags are read once more. The system can then confirm whether that individual is removing the same tools he or she came in with-or, when entering, ensure that a tool being brought into the zone is properly tagged, and assign that item to that individual in the software.
If a worker leaves without all the tools that person brought to the site, the software is designed to indicate which items are missing when his or her badge and tools are read at the Cube or FME site. If someone takes a tool off-site that was assigned to a coworker, that action is also indicated by the software at the time that the badge and tools are read, and the coworker assigned that tool is informed, upon exiting, that the item was removed, and by whom. At that point, the coworker can then indicate whether permission was given to take the tool.
Access Solutions' staff must still visually inspect each tool as well, to be sure that no pieces are missing. By using RFID, however, the process of monitoring which tools are carried into or out of the zone, and in whose custody, is now automated. That, Bergstrom says, means a check-in procedure that, for example, previously required three to 15 minutes per person now requires only 30 seconds to three minutes. On average, he estimates, the processing time is reduced by 83 percent.
The Cube, which the company displayed last month at the Power-Gen International (PGI) 2011 conference, will increase efficiency further, Bergstrom says, because it comes with all equipment necessary to launch and run an FME service. While customers needed to supply Access Solutions with tables and chairs in the past, and an RFID reader then had to be set up on those tables, the Cube is now simply delivered to the site by crane (for outdoor use) or towed into an indoor location. It comes with heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), as well as lighting, and has one or more RFID readers (depending on each end user's particular needs) that can be used on a counter top, or the reader's antenna can mounted to the Cube in such a way as to facilitate the reading of RFID tags attached to hardhats.
Since the PGI conference, Bergstrom says, Access Solutions has been in discussion with potential customers in the United States, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and several South American countries. In some cases, he notes, customers could include oil and gas companies, as well as power plants. The technology could also be employed for servicing wind turbines.

Seasonal variations: this soup works well with carrots, Jerusalem artichokes or potatoes instead of celeriac-or use a mixture of vegetables. To make this soup more of a 'meal in a bowl' add some beans - we use tinned cannellini beans or chick peas which are full of protein. You could also add lentils - tinned or dried.
Serves 4-6 | Dietary: Vegan, Wheat Free (without the croutons)
Cooking Instructions
- Pre heat the oven to 200c/ gas mark 6.
- Peel the celeriac using a sharp peeler and remove any areas where the roots are still visible.
- Chop into 1 cm cubes and place in a roasting tin with a splash of rapeseed or vegetable oil.
- Roast the celeriac for 25 minutes or until it is softened and golden around the edges. Add the caraway seeds and return to the oven for another five minutes.
- While the celeriac is roasting heat a little oil in a large sauce pan and gently cook the onion, until it is really soft and starting to caramelise. Add the garlic and fry for another 5 minutes.
- Add the roasted celeriac, bouquet garni and caraway to the onion mixture and stir well.
- Pour on the stock and soya milk and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove the bouquet garni and blend until smooth with a hand blender. Taste, season and serve
Tip: A bouquet garni is a small bunch of herbs that you add to soups and stews to infuse the dish with flavour-it is removed before serving. Traditionally the herbs are "hard herbs" such as bay, rosemary, sage, thyme, all of which grow well in the British winter. You can tie them together with clean string (you can buy cooking string from kitchen shops) or use a heatproof plastic freezer clip-one that has been washed in a hot dishwasher or placed in boiling water before use to sterilise.
- Preheat the oven to 200c/ gas mark 6
- Heat a roasting dish in the oven. Add the oil and then the bread and mix well.
- Cook in the oven for approximately 10 minutes and then add the chopped garlic and stir in. Return to the oven and roast for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally so that the bread is crispy and golden.
- Finely chop the herbs and capers together with the lemon zest.
- Add the chopped herbs to the crispy croutons and mix together. Taste and add pepper (you probably won't need salt as the capers are salty already)
- Use to garnish the soup-any leftovers can be stored in an airtight box in the fridge and will keep for about 3 days.
Tips: These croutons are a great way of using up stale bread-they are traditionally made with sourdough or ciabatta style bread. You can also use a wheat free or spelt bread. Croutons on their own (without added herbs) will keep for weeks in a sealed container out of the fridge-once you add fresh herbs they won't last so long and need to be kept cold. If you like things spicy add some flaked chilli to the croutons. Croutons don't need to be just for soup-they are also great added to pasta dishes, rice or salads. Vary the herbs that you use – parsley is ideal but basil, chives, dill, sorrel and coriander would also work.

This week I'm back on the sweet stuff. Seen as yesterday was national peanut butter day (seriously – there is a day for everything it seems), I thought I'd share a recipe for peanut butter and dark chocolate cookies. A former colleague introduced me to these and she used to make them using a lactose free alternative to butter. You couldn't tell and they were just as good, so if you don't want to use butter then you can still make them without, and of course without the chocolate. She took the recipe from Baking Made Easy by Lorraine Pascale, but I've adapted it and added some chocolate, because, well what's not better with chocolate?! I like anything that's super indulgent and these really tick that box! I don't bother adding extra nuts on top – it's more faff and I think the chocolate adds more!
Peanut butter and dark chocolate cookies
Serves: Makes 12 according to the recipe but I make 16 and they are plenty big enough!
130g /4 ½ oz butter, softened
200g /7 oz soft light brown sugar
1 medium egg
½ tsp of vanilla extract
200g /7 oz plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
300g /10 ½ oz peanut butter
100g dark chocolate (I just chopped up a bar as I didn't have chips – you get bigger chunks that way too. Win!)
Preheat the oven to 170°C /150°C fan.
Using an electric beater, cream together the butter and the sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extra and mix well. Sift in the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of sod. I then mix in with a wooden spoon as the mixture gets stiff and biscuit like. Then add the chocolate (if using) and the peanut butter.
The mixture will be a thick sticky dough.
Using your hands make little balls of dough. Place on a large baking tray, spaced at least 10cm (4 in) apart. I put six each on a baking sheet. Flatten the balls slightly with the back of a fork.
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the cookies start to go golden brown. I prefer to take them out at 12 minutes as I like the squidgy slightly undercooked cookie. They will be really really soft when you take them out but they will cool and firm up on the tray.
Leave to cool completely on the baking tray… if you can resist not diving into one first.
Enjoy with a cuppa!

Berlin Police Department
Recklessly Endangering Safety
On 05-14-11 at 2:33AM officers from the Berlin Police Department responded to the area of Huron St. and S. Church St. on a complaint of several shots from a firearm being discharged in the area.
Upon arriving on scene Berlin P.D. Officers and assisting Deputies from the Green Lake Co. Sheriff's Department did not observe any suspicious activity, but set up a perimeter around the area from where the shots were reported to have come from. Upon further investigation it was determined that the shots had come from a residence located in the 100 blk. of S. Church St. There were three people located in the lower level of the residence from where the shots were fired. The girlfriend of the man who was responsible for firing the weapon, along with the man's son were contacted by officers on the scene and removed to safety. A separate upper level apartment contained a man and woman along with two small children who were later removed to safety by officers of the Combined Tactical Unit. The Green Lake County Combined Tactical Unit was paged and responded to the scene. During the incident a coordinated effort between numerous jurisdictions were utilized to secure the area. The jurisdictions that assisted in the call included the Green Lake County Sheriff's Department, Green Lake Police Department, Princeton Police Department, Markesan Police Department, Waushara County Sheriff's Department, Green Lake County Emergency Management, and the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department assisted in the use of the Bearcat Tactical Armored Vehicle which was utilized by the Tactical Unit to make their approach to the residence and make contact with the individual responsible for the incident. The 42 year old male was ordered out of residence and taken into custody without further incident. It was discovered that the male subject has resided with his girlfriend at the residence in the 100 block of S. Church St. for approximately 4 months. It was determined that the 42 year old male had exited the residence and fired the shots outside.
"I want to thank all the Officers and their Departments for assisting the City of Berlin during an incident that had the potential to become very volatile. It was through the combined resources of all the Law Enforcement Agencies that we were able to bring the incident to a quick resolution," said Chief Dennis Plantz
The suspect was transported, processed, and being held without bond into the Green Lake County Jail. Charges of Recklessly Endangering Safety are being referred to the Green Lake County District Attorney's Office with other charges possible upon completion of the investigation

Instant analysis | N.C. stands for 'national champion' and 'no contest'
NCAA title game instant analysis
Starnet=slocalDETROIT | No contest.
North Carolina ran away with the NCAA national championship game with an 89-72 victory over Michigan State on Monday, and it was never close.
The Tar Heels soared to a 21-point halftime lead and held off a couple of mini-Spartans rallies to claim the school's fifth national championship.
Only UCLA (11) and Kentucky (seven) have more.
Coach Roy Williams, who led Kansas to four Final Fours in his 15 years in Lawrence, collected his second national championship at North Carolina. The total matches his mentor, Dean Smith.
Michigan State's magical run came to an abrupt halt. The blue collar Spartans had captured the imagination of their economically depressed state with a sensational run through the tournament. An emotional stimulus package some called it.
But the Spartans ran into a superior team on a night when nothing worked for them.
Michigan State had locked up opponents like Kansas, Louisville and Connecticut. The Spartans's suffocating defense held teams to 41 percent floor shooting and 28 percent from the three-point stripe.
But early on, North Carolina executed like Michigan State wasn't on the floor. Four possessions into the game, the Tar Heels scored twice close to the hoop, got Danny Green's three-pointer and Tyler Hansbrough's free throw.
The Tar Heels were on their way. By the first media timeout, North Carolina led by 10 and it would never get closer.
The Tar Heels raced to the biggest halftime lead in championship game history at 55-34. And no team had scored as many as North Carolina's total in a first half.
Including the Tar Heels' 35-point victory in the same building over Michigan State in December, North Carolina had outscored the Spartans by 56 points over the previous three halves.
What made it interesting — and this has been an NCAA Tournament reality — was the Tar Heels' changed focus. Hansbrough, the alltime leading scorer in ACC history, morphed into a role player.
North Carolina was driven by point guard Ty Lawson as always but Wayne Ellington and Green were taking more shots and Lawson and Ellington outscored Hansbrough in the NCAA Tournament.
Ellington had 17 at the break. He had made all of his rainbow three-pointers and was impossible to defend curling around a screen. The Heels were shooting 53 percent, and were playing excellent defense, forcing 14 Michigan State turnovers.
Since the second half of the LSU game in the second round, which was tied with eight minutes remaining, the Tar Heels dominated.
They crushed everybody, Gonzaga by 21, Oklahoma by 12 and the Sooners rallied to get it that close, and Villanova by 14.This was a team that was showered with attention in the preseason, becoming the first team to gain every first –place vote in the preseason polls. This was a team driven by an embarrassing loss to Kansas in last year's national semifinal. The starting five and top six scorers from last year returned..
Monday we saw what all the fuss was about.

Palace of the Silver Princess Remix
Filed in the 'I'm Bad at Self Promotion' category, here's something I contributed to that came out a little over a month ago: the DIY remix of Palace of the Silver Princess, only it's not that exactly, instead...
I worked on this at the beginning of the year, contributing work on pages 36 - 41!

...and here's a couple of new monsters I added to the adventure...
New Monster: Terror Gnomes
Terror Gnomes are what you get when a bunch of already evil and wicked dark beings enslave another race and torture them over thousands of years. They have long since become their own race and freed themselves from the tyranny of their former owners. Indeed, the Terror Gnomes committed genocide when they freed themselves, destroying their previous captors to the last in horrifying ways. They now resemble 'gnomes' only in their small stature. Terror gnomes live their entire lives in subterranean tunnels, only coming to the surface in raiding parties to find valuables left behind in abandoned places - particularly abandoned places that connect up to their own network of caves.
Terror Gnome raiding parties are away from their home for such long times that they form family units within the raiding parties. Both male and female terror gnomes take on the care and feeding of their young, and they often have young with them. Thus, when fighting a Terror Gnome raiding party, there is a 5% chance each individual gnome may be carrying an infant in a sling, and a 20% chance one or two of the party's members are juveniles.
Terror Gnome Raider: HD 2; AC 5 [14]; Atk 1 Bite (1d6) and weapon (1d6 short sword); Move 9; Save 16; CL/XP 2/30; Special: None.
Terror Gnome Raiders: HD 1; AC 5 [14]; Atk 1 Bite (1d6) and weapon (1d4 dagger);Move 9; Save 17, CL/XP 1/15; Special: None;
New Monster: Scrollnado
The magic in the area is chaotic and always in flux. When battle begins, a number of the scrolls and parchments on the floor kick up into a whirlwind of terror that lashes out without care as to which side it attacks.
Treat the Scrollnado like another combatant in combat. When its turn comes around, there's a 50% chance it'll attack the party members, and a 50% chance it'll attack the monsters. Roll 1d10 on the table below to see what spell the Scrollnado casts. Each time a spell is cast, the scroll for that spell disintegrates, so mark it off the list.
Once the Scrollnado is out of spells, it's effectively 'dead', and no longer poses a threat. When the main combat (that is, the fight with the monsters) ends, the Scrollnado loses power and falls to the flower (it only comes to life with adversity). If the party members wander out of the room and leave the door open, however, there's a 25% chance the Scrollnado will leave the room and begin roaming the dungeon. In that case, add the Scrollnado to your wandering monster table.
Roll 1d10:
- Magic Missile
- Fireball
- Lightning Bolt
- Sleep
- Monster Summoning II
- Web
- Charm Person
- Darkness
- Hold Person
- Slow

Having a hangovers is a sign of extreme dehydration. To get rid of the headaches and dizziness you need to hydrate your body. If you want to cure a hangover fast and naturally follow the steps below.
The best way to cure a hangover
► Drink plenty of mineral water.
► Drink coconut water which is rich in electrolytes.
The headaches after alcohol consumption are caused by dehydration and an imbalance of electrolytes. Minerals like sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium are important for a healthy brain.
How to cure a hangover fast
►Avoid coffee. The caffeine will only make your hangover worse by further dehydrating you.
►Try ginger ale. If you're feeling nauseated, the ginger helps calm your stomach.
Foods to cure a hangover
►Potatoes with milk
Drinking too much alcohol might eliminate your body's supply of potassium and calcium. Potatoes with milk are a great source of these minerals.
Bananas are rich in potasium. While you were drinking too much alcohol, lots of potassium drained from your body. Eating some bananas will help you recover from your hangover faster.
Tomatoes are rich in the vitamins, minerals and enzymes that your body needs to recover after drinkingtoomuch alcohol. The fructose in tomatoes aids in metabolizing alcohol in your system. Try some tomato juice mixed with a cayenne pepper, sugar, and lime.
Ginger has long been used to treat many sicknesses. This remedy really works wonders. Try to drink ginger ale or brew some ginger tea. Cut an inch of fresh ginger root into slices and combine it with 2 pints of water. Then boil it for 10 minutes and add some lemon and honey.
►Honey & Lemons
This is a classic hangover remedy: Lemon and hot water replenishes fluids and sugars lost to a hangover. It is important to use honey instead of sugar. Honey contains fructose, which competes for the metabolism of alcohol. Some healthy competition is needed, since it prevents the rapid change in alcohol levels that results in headaches. Boil 1 cup water and mix it with honey and lemon juice.
Drinks to cure a hangover
Drinking plenty of water is probably the best and fastest cure for a hangover. Dehydration causes most of the discomfort associated with a hangover. Stick to water, be it tap, bottled or carbonated. Drink more than eight glasses a day while recovering. Add some mineral rich salt (sea-salt or himalayan pink salt) toy our water.
Freshly squeezed orange juice, will help raise your blood sugar levels and help cure your hangover fast. If your stomach is upset, skip acidic juices such as orange juice and stick with apple juice instead.

"Hey Pocky A-Way" - Fred Wesley
"Hey Pocky A-Way" (PDF) from the Idris Muhammad album, House of the Rising Sun.
Support trombone.alex via Patreon or PayPal
The Long Winters bandleader John Roderick suggested on his podcast that the Wikipedia page for Allen Toussaint could be taught as a history course of American music, concluding that Toussaint's vast influence was apparent throughout seemingly unrelated generations. The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game for movies is more like the One-or-Two Degrees of Allen Toussaint with music.
Meanwhile, I was listening one morning to WWOZ New Orleans community radio, where Allen Toussaint is celebrated as often as Louis Armstrong, and I heard the trademark sound of trombonist Fred Wesley. I found myself singing along with his solo, yet I hadn't recalled ever hearing this version before of The Meters' tune "Hey Pocky A-Way." Thus, my inquisitive nature had to put the pieces together to solve this musical mystery. Who is this?!
Idris Muhammad was a New Orleans drummer on the same level of cultural significance as Allen Toussaint; he's either played behind everybody or has influenced everyone else. Perhaps he was the Clyde Stubblefield of New Orleans in that his playing was often sampled many times, for instance on the Beastie Boys album, Check Your Head. And to tie up all the historical loose ends, "Hey Pocky A-Way" was originally produced by Allen Toussaint.
Here is a YouTube video of Idris Muhammad interviews from the film Return to Gorée.

Any good Southerner knows what a ham hock is and what it is used for. However, if you aren't familiar with them, ham hocks are the lower legs of the cow that have the rind, bone, fat and lean meat. There isn't much to eat on a ham hock, so they are usually boiled to flavor everything from soups, like bean soup or split pea soup, to side dishes like ham hocks and black-eyed peas. You can get ham hocks from your butcher, or buy them either fresh or smoked at your grocery store.
Step 1
Place the ham hocks in the stockpot and cover them with 8 cups of water. To draw out the most flavor from the ham hocks, the water should be cool. As the water warms up it will slowly cook the ham hocks, releasing the flavor.
Step 2
Heat the stockpot over high heat. When the water begins to boil, cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook the ham hocks for 2 hours. When they are finished, the ham hocks should be tender to the point of the meat falling off the bones.
Step 3
Remove the ham hocks from the liquid and remove the meat from the bones and discard the bones. Trim the fat and gristle from the meat. You can use the meat in a soup or mix it with black-eyed peas.
Step 4
Skim the fat from the stock and bring the stock to a boil. Boil until the liquid is reduced to your desired concentration and use it for your soup or to cook your black-eyed peas.
Things You'll Need
2 ham hocks
8 cups cool water
2 tsp. of garlic powder or red pepper flakes, optional
Add seasoning to the ham hocks for a broth with a more complex flavor. For example, 2 tsp. of garlic powder or red pepper flakes will add flavor or heat to the broth.

In this installment of my Minimalism series I wanted to share with you a few links I have been loving this month.
I discovered Canna of Sugar Mamma TV when I was looking for videos about personal finance and clearing debt. Not only does Canna give seriously good financial advice she also does videos sharing how she incorporates minimalism into her life. Her website is also fab with the weekly Sugar Hit post - something I really look forward to reading every week.
Rachel Aust is another lovely YouTuber who I have mentioned previously. She's a gorgeous Australian YouTuber who makes videos on health, fitness and lifestyle. I really enjoy her minimalism series and her videos in general - she has such a soft soothing voice.
When I was reading Marie Kondo's The Life Changing Magic of Tidying I stumbled across Lavendaire's channel. She has a series all about the book and each element of it which I really enjoyed watching as well as lots of other lovely videos on Minimalism.
Another lovely YouTube channel I found was Miss Plantcentric. Brittany has a lovely youtube channel with lots of videos on how minimalism changed her life for the better and how she incorporates it into her life. She also has some videos on her channel about her plant based vegan lifestyle too which are an interesting watch. Also is it just me or does she really look like Kirsten Dunst?
The Blissful Mind is a lovely website I found whilst browsing Pinterest. Taken straight from the website The Blissful Mind is a guide to help you be the calmest, healthiest, most productive version of yourself. You'll find weekly updates that encourage you to slow down and focus on the important things in life. Whether you want to be more productive, start eating healthier and feel good about your body, or start a capsule wardrobe.
The Blissful Mind is for you if:
• You want to simplify your life and focus on what's important
• You want to be the healthiest version of yourself, both mentally and physically
• You're looking for some realistic advice that isn't totally cheesy
I couldn't round off this post without mentioning The Minimalists. I watched a Ted Talk with these guys last week whilst I was having a soak in the bath and I found it really interesting. They have an amazing website with so many resources for the budding minimalist. This link is an excellent starting point.
Last but not least I really enjoy browsing Pinterest to find interesting articles and links all about minimalism. Please feel free to come over and say hello, this article I found on there is a particularly is a good one to check out and shares 20 things you can get rid of without even missing.
I hope you find something in here that you enjoy and I will see you next week for the next post in this series.

We receive many letters from the families we've served, thanking us for our caring ways during their time of loss. Their words warm our hearts, and speak to you of our professionalism, compassion, and the true value of the services we provide.
February 28, 2016
It is not often that one considers an endorsement of this sort as the loss of a loved one is so very personal. My family & I were deeply moved by the total professional, respectful, caring manner in which funeral arrangements were made for our father, grandfather, great-grandfather husband and more. There is no course on how to Prepare for such an eventuality nor is there any "book" to read. I can only commend the staff at Dwyer Funeral Home for their total supervision of any and all details that left the family unburdened and able to peacefully mourn a departed loved one.Dr. Charles Ross & Family
February 26, 2016
I am beyond grateful to all at Dwyer Funeral Home. Rob Dwyer and his entire family were incredibly compassionate, respectful, detail-oriented, and on-top-of everything during my family's most difficult time. Having never planned a funeral before, I had very little idea of what to do but still wanted to know every single detail involved. Not only did the Dwyer Funeral Home handle every detail masterfully, but they consistently provided immediate responses to my never-ending questions. Their focus and responsiveness truly helped put our minds at ease in planning my mother's funeral. For that, my family is beyond grateful and would absolutely recommend the Dwyer Funeral Home. Thank you all for everything you did.Brian D. Kozlowski
February 26, 2016
Dwyer did an amazing job with my Mom's funeral. They executed perfectly on every aspect/detail of the funeral. Most importantly, they helped my very large and grief ridden family "keep it together" through the wake and the funeral.Kathy Valiasek

Mirrors in Grey Space
Elise creates and captures a suspended graphic installation made from shards of mirror and folded, printed paper. Created as part of a commission for an editorial client — another version of this image was used for the final artwork.
Elise is an artist whose practice intersects photography and sculpture. On her process, Elise writes "My sculptural installations begin as carefully planned drawings. I also like to work with digital and machine processes that offer precise results. But sometimes accidents happen in this creative process. I tend to enjoy the outcome. Something new and unexpected is injected into the work."

Augusta Read Thomas' latest works have been gargantuan, to say the least. Last year, she composed 30 minutes of music for Third Coast Percussion consisting of nothing but bells (300 of them, BTW). What's even more impressive is that she was writing another half hour-long work at the same time, her Mahler-inspired Earth Echoes for solo vocalists and chamber orchestra.
Thomas seems to have maximized the Mahlerian spirit, incorporating in both of these works a conglomeration of cultures from around the world, be it instruments or poetry for the libretto. But out of that plethora of material comes extreme conceptual and compositional precision and cohesion. Take, for example, the beautifully interwoven timbres from the second movement of her Resounding Earth.

-- do they drive in? they can't fly in. >> yes, many have to drive, we have bucket trucks they drive them, we need to expedite their ability to get from state to state by removing red tape. i might point out we really do appreciate the strong support we have gotten from the federal government and state government, as i was preparing to join you, we had a very impressive call with our president of the united states who committed to the industry, recognize severity of storm made a strong commitment to help us remove the barriers to move workers from west coast to east coast as well as -- >> did he give you money? >> he offered some assistance, for example in new york, and new jersey, there has been flooding, some underground facilities have been flooded. so we need to pump the water out, core of engineers can be a
9:10 pm
tremendous asset to us in removing that water to survey the restoration effort. gerri: we showed pictures of fellows already out working and neighborhoods trying to restore power. and we said that power will be restored in the city itself in about 4 days, and regional areas in a week, is that on targe how long it will take, there are llions as we said who a awaiting their lights to come on. >> first we have to clear the roads, have to clear the trees that have fallen on power lines, and remove the water, we can assess the damage, we believe that will take two days, then the ree restoration efforts, wee personal comes from across the u.s. gerri: how many people total? >> right now, we're working on
9:11 pm
53,000 people that are working to restore electric device to the areas that have been impacted. gerri: one final question, it is interesting, in some ways the fact that cables underground have not been a help for some communities, why is that? >> unfortunately we had the surges, 10 to2-foot, water got underground and destroyed our substation, we had to pump the water out, and replace those destroyed that takes time. gerri: it is amazing, david thank you, for coming on and talking about what has been going on, everyone i know in our building is trying to get pow or in their neighborhood. we hope you can restore it soon. >> thank you. gerri: all right, the superstorm sandy hurt our already struggling economy? storm the cost about $20 billion in dage. some predict 30 billion. in last business activity for
9:12 pm
more joining me now maryland economist, peter morici. welcome back, you had a number i saw nowhere else in estimates total costs, of this storm, you said 35 to 45 billion-dollars, how do you get there? >> we will have about 20 million in property loss. initial estimates are 5 to 10, for irene they were 7, but irene was closer to 20, i think they will be as bad. but now, look at all storethat are closed, flights that have not gone out, hotels and businesses onshore and new york city that are down for 4 days, that is a loss of income. that is 20 billion that gets me to 40. gerri: wow, okay that makes sense. people underestimate the costs. i read new york city alone is an economy with $4 billion that pumps out $ 4 billion eve day, times 5 is $20 billion, not just
9:13 pm
damage you repair. it is also the loss of productivity, workdays, loss payroll, it could be far more devastating than we've been talking babout, you also said, in short term painful but longer term we get a bunch of federal dollars that will pump energy into the economy. >> absolutely, if we have $20 billion in property damage we spend more than that rebuilding, we always do, on the shore property so valuable, they will build bigger homes and businesses. obsolete capital will be replaced by modern capital. we'd get multiplier effect, you spend a dollar on infrastructure, you get a dollar in gdp from additional spending. i think by the time this is all done, the affect to go, dp will be to dr depress it immediately,
9:14 pm
but down the road a little bit positive. >> what kind of impact to national gdp do you think this storm could have short-term and long-term? >> short-term, we could loss 20 to 30 billion-dollars, and long-term we could pick up net basis, maybe 30 to 40, we net about 10 additional billion dollars. gerri: all right eter mr. ricci if you. >> thank you. >> all right. a lot more to come, in including whether we'll see higher gas prices. in the wake of super storm sandy, and some estimatesave different trut -- destruction fm storm near $50 billion, i break ♪

9:19 pm
analyst say that iphone 5 would add a quarter to half% to go, dp, if the phone could move a needle, don't you believe that a once in a haven'try storm -- century storm could do the thing, how about the clerks and tellers who stayed home, companies large and small sent workers home. general motors was one. and airlines canceled total more than 18,000 flights, that is according to flight aware. just minutes ago, about half of the level of hurricane irene, the cost of the storm, was 40 million in revenue are in united-continental, 15 million in profits for delta air. and global business traveler, estimate that a big storm like sandy cost airline, amtrak, rental car companies hotel

two refineries in new jersey remain would power tonight after being flooded. there they are. for more on the storm impact. i am joined by former shell oil president, john hofmeister, thank you for joining us. 6 refineries, operating at reduced want it, not full. two are off line. because they suffered flooding and they lost power, what is your concern here? >> i think it is the safety of the infrastructure. more broadly than just refineries. it is good if the refineries were not that badly damaged. it worries me if they were flooded it may require the replacement of a lot of electricals in new york area,
9:26 pm
new england, and midatlantic states a lot supply comes from out of the country, how is the infrastructure at ports, have we checked out what damage has been done port with the sea surge as we saw it. gerri: let me interrupt. you talk about refineries and@ ports two different things, you also say there could be a problem with distribution and retail service stations, tell us about that. >> that is the biggest worry of all, there is an inventory of finished product available, about 4 weeks, if refineries can get up and running is great, but getting it distributed from retail gas pump to the car, takes electricity. and with so many people suffering from electricity outages, if the -- if they can't buy gasoline, they have to go back and forth on store, you
9:27 pm
will not have mass transit for a while, there will be a huge pull on gasoline inventory, but if only a few stations have electricity you will have gas lines galore, that will drive price spiking in the region. people better, get ready to wait for gasoline, until the electricity is restored. gerri: you know, tre was a lot of speculation that everyone would stay home in the wake of the storm am am. i think that demand for gas will be there right away people try to make improvement. and fix damages and go to home depot and buy the equipment to make things right. do you think demand will slacken or pick up. >> it will increase, in first instance, merg emergency respons will drink diesel oil like water, they are not shutting off their engines, working 24/7,
9:28 pm
then people worried about finding gas, they want to top up their tanks. people get insecure, we know from texas, louisiana, alabama, and florida, people want to go out and get gas just in case. there will not be supply to back it up, you could drain the inventory quickly by having people accelerate their purchasing where they can. gerri: you said, before thate could see a 20-cent or 40-cent per gallon price spike, do you see shortages? do you see other people tapping other people's gas tanks? >> i think with the electricity out, if is a week to two weeks, it could well be in the worst areas, that affects retail stations, so where will people get their gas? maybe some of thees go station owners are wired for generate
9:29 pm
ores that would help a lot. but if you have a few stations open, they get drained, and depots where they fill up tank trucks, do they have electricity if people form gas lines, they stop behaving kindly to one another. gerri: i noticed that too. look thank you for coming on tonight, we'll be in touch with you. we have to follow the story, it is just, amazing thank y a bunch. >> you bet. gerri: still to come, sandy's economic impact could be felt for some time, airport struggled to return to normal operation, and next president obama cancels a third straight day of campaigning because of sandy, how will the superstorm impact elect, will election day be postponed? don't go away.

9:33 pm
gerri: it's one week until the election, or is it? talk of delaying the election growing, as state and federal officials get better idea ofhe havoc to sandy brought on the east coast. peter is, moving the election a possibility. >> it is not federal law sets date for president's election, and only congress can change that law, it is not changing it in the next week. but the law does give states some leeway, in maybe moving votvoting days adding election days, make up election days in cases of emergencies like hurricanes. new jersey governor chris christie said his secretary of state, was talking with other
9:34 pm
east coast secretaries about developing contingency plans for election day, depending on how power situation we assume g no announcements on any of that, and the governor, he was a little busy with other problems. >> i don't give a dam about election day, it does not matter a lick to me at the moment, i have much bigger fish to fry, so do people of state of new jersey, so, let's politicians on the ballot worry about election day, it is not my problem, i am not going to deal with it at the moment. >> reporter: we were looking for a great reason to run the sound bite, federal law said if a state fails it deliver its elect fors for preside on time, they may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as legislator of such state may direct. we found 7 states, that have passed laws that appear to dress
9:35 pm
this. three of them have been hit by hurricane sandy. new york, maryland, and north carolina,. gerri: peter thank you. i guess we'll see. well, not only is the superstorm putting election day in harm's way it has put presidential campaign on pause. is president obama gaining political advantage by being in front of the storm? so, welcome to you both, i to start with something else. sound we got in mayor bloomberg in new york city, sounds likely is disinviting the president to new york. listen to this. >> we would love to have him but we have lots of things to do, not trying to dis him but i know he planned a trip to new jersey i said that finds that represents the whole region, people know the storm he does not -- he has a lot to do, and i was flattered high offered to
9:36 pm
come, but i think that thing for him to do is go to new jersey. and represent the country. gerri: brad, i it sounds like he is sayg, you know the last thing we need is a presidential motorcade here. >> he is right in some respects, i never thought i would be sticking up for obama, but i will, a president, has directed a lot of federal aid not only to people of city of new york and long island and new jersey, affected, ohio, and a president has to do two things, to be president of the united states, and a political candidate a week before an elect, it is appropriate for a president to manage this crisis because federal government has an interest in it. gerri: justin? >> well, i think that president obama needs to show that he understands what is going on, on the ground. so i think it is legitimate for him to want to be there but at the same time moving the
9:37 pm
president of the united states into aftermath of a natural disaster does take significant resources away, so mayor bloomberg has a very good point, it is reasonable what he said, i am sure president obama understands. gerri: not just any aftermath, it is new york city, and every time president comes here, he shuts everything down for a half day, new yorkers do not have patience with that. let's talk about the issue, i think of candidate -- can the campaign, can the presidency, the election be delayed? >> noing federal elect cannot be. we're a union of 50 states some, states may be affected, election day goes obut good news, in a lot of state provide for early voting, hours can be extended perhaps they can be extended on election day. >> justin?
9:38 pm
>> i agree. election day come on tuesday we're a week out, there may be people who do not have power or electricity but there are things that governors and other officials state officials secretaries of state can do to help increase aim of time people have to vote like extends voting hours and early voting days, i feel comfortable we have election day tuesday. gerri: i think we'll have a lot of debate over this between now and next week. talking you to about a new poll, wtake about polls all of the time, romney seems to have momentum. but now npr with a poll out showing romney is winning. >> i believe he picked up a lot of steam since last debate, that people are now making their decisions on the economy. the economy has not improved, although president obama seems have have made good decisions in his response to this storm, just
9:39 pm
one week of good presidency does not make up for 4 years of a lousy presidency. gerri: romney got a lot of momentum in last couple weeks, it is possible sandy could quash that, do you think it would have an impact on romney's 3-6rd? >> performance? >> it could. now you have a national disaster, it is hard to be partisan or political, i think it could slow some of the momentum, but it is important to keep in mine that president obama was really on a very negative campaign, he was using this term romnesia that seems so small now, that hurts president obama he was waging a negative personal -- not personal but out on the campaign trail. gerri: the tone is very different now, brad and justin
9:40 pm
9:44 pm
travelers across u.s. are stranded tonight in wake of superstorm sandy. maybe someone in your family. thousands more, maybe as many as 1875 canceled tomorrow through the end of the week, here is more george hoboka, let's talk about the magnitude. >> other than 911, i've not seen is many cancelation from u.s. airports even volcano in iceland did not have this many. gerri: what is interesting,ith so much warning from this hurricane, a lot canceled plans and flights, didn't have to go to the airport. >> i'm one of them 92 goo. gerri: good for you, does that make a difference. >> it did, but it is still annoying, they canceled my flight 48 hours before, i think
9:45 pm
we could have taken off. because i looked out window at 6:00 in the morning. gerri: what day? >> monday. first thing in morning, there was no breeze in the sky. gerri: i would not get on a plane on monday, i would have the not do that. >> it seemed okay, they moved planes out of new york area to keep them safe, and avoid the tarmac delay fines. gerri: that is running the airlines right now iny view, sitting on the tarmac for a long period of time, it seems all their business decisions are made to that, you can get canceled for no good reason. >> it was that in days of ready richenbacher, they would have flown for hell or high water but not any more. gerri: more airlines allowing passengers to rebook through november 7. >> you can also cancel. get all your money back in all those nasty fees bark, and your
9:46 pm
frequent flyer miles back. gerri: would they do that? >> they do, all my money was back, but if you are stuck in los angeles, and you live in new york, you have no choice. i was walking down street in manhattan, full of tourists, lost zombie tourists with nothing else to do, they are just walking, aimlessly. that i want to go home. gerri: southwest rebooking 14 days from original travel date, and fantastic picture of laguardia airport flooding, you see this picture you will be so happy, that is awful. >> amazing. gerri: so glad you are not flying tonight, tomorrow or the day after, my question for you, what is this going to get normal. >> probably saturday or sunday, i know one person that tweeted said they are stuck in istanbul, and they are not coming back for a week they live in new york. it will take a long time. gei: i am trying to get to washington you know, not going

it today, and experience a storm tomorrow. but thanks to hurricane irene last year, many in the northeast did buy it, flood coverage rose 14% this year, from 5% before the irene hit. even if you got it. national flood insurance program, may not be able to help right ay, the program is more than $17 billion in the hole for prior disasters. it has about 3 billion in borrowing authority remaining, congress has to approve every other dollar after that. so far, no numbers have come on in claims. we'll contie to follow that. >> in focus tonight, back to business for stocks, starting tomorrow. the new york stock exchange set to reopen after being closed for two days in a row for bad weather, the first time since 1888. what can we expect tomorrow? we ask harvey pitt.
9:52 pm
welcome back, tell me, what are you expecting tomorrow? there will be a lot of volume and demand? >> i think there will be a lot of volume, and there will be significant amount of selling pressure at the beginning of the day. that tends to be what happens with the markets have been shut forriric -- extraordinary circumstances, this is what we experience ed oexexperienced on. gerri: interesting. they have been closed for two weeks, you are expecting a lot of demand or volume, does it make a difference have you dark pools out there? >> well, that is been some thing that has men that closing of the exchanges is not had that great
9:53 pm
an impact. large institutions can trade in the dark pool venues, and people can trade overseas, there has been trading overseas. so by and large, there has not been as much of a shut down as there 1 woul would -- once woule been but there will be selling pressure first thing in the morning. gerr all right,e'll watch for that, i wanted to get you to pond to comments from arthur levitt, former ftc chairman, criticizing new york sck exchange for not doing more. >> tosee exchange go down for two days without an adequate back up plan sun fortunate to see new york stock exchange crippled add is a body blow that will shake the image of the institution for a long time to come, new york stock exchange is saying that is not true, they have a back up plan. we would love to see it. harvey, what do you make of the
9:54 pm
comments? >> i understand the concern. but i think in this particular is, , it is misguided. reasons for shutting down the exchanges and new york was not only one that shut down, were to prevent unfairness to individual investors. some people would be able to get to the marketplace, others would not. goal was to basically have a more orderly process, shutting down the markets, in particular when brokers could not function because of the power outages, is not a terrible thing to have done. gerri: the exchange also considered trading just electronically. would that have been a good solution? >> it would, but there are many people who cannot access that. but i do believe that having all of the markets trade, electronically is where we're headed, and what that have been the result here. gerri: harvey thank you, you are
9:55 pm
always as concerned with a level playing field as we are, we appreciate your time. >> my pleasure. gerri: and a programming note for you tomorrow, with u.s. starkestock market to reopen, fx business with a special lineup 9 a.m. fox business special report. hosted by neil cavuto, and vane hosted by neil cavuto, and vane and company [ male announcer ] hodo you trade? with scottrader streaming quotes, any way you want. fully customize it for your trading process -- from thought to trade, on every screen. and all in real time. whh makes it just like having your own trading floor, right at your fingertips.
