3 Things You Must Know To Find the Best Blender for Your Kitchen
Thousands of households are searching for the best blenders and, while you might think that's difficult to do, think again. There are many great blenders to consider and buying just one can be so simple. However, before you go out and rush to buy one, you need to know a few things first. Read on and find three simple things to know in order to find the right blender for your home and kitchen.
Size Matters
You want the best blender for your home but more importantly, you need the right blender also. One of the most important factors you must think about is the size of your kitchen and how or where this will fit in. If you have a small kitchen and don't have a lot of storage space then you might find a larger blender might not be able to fit into your kitchen without a few issues later. However, if you have your heart set on a specific blender, you must look at where it'll sit in your kitchen. You don't want an overly large blender but something of fair size that can be put away for more storage later on. If you look at blender reviews it could help you make decision. visit us for more!
Does The Blender Come With Several Features?
You also need to think about the features the blender has. Are there different cutting blades for different drinks or do you require a standard, basic blender? Features are a crucial element of blenders and you really do need to think about what features you want or need. If you need a certain feature, you can easily look for a blender with this feature. If you want a blender solely for smoothies then you need to find the best blender for smoothies. The smoothie feature will be important so that you get the right consistency with your smoothies.
A Warranty Is a Must-Have
For thousands, they don't think warranties really matter but, in actual fact, it's one of the most important things to think about today. When a product comes with a warranty you know you're covered no matter what happens and that can be crucial. You know the blender will be repaired should something go wrong and while it's unlikely nothing will happen having cover will be better. This is something you should look into when reading blender reviews and the product in general. Warranties are something you must know about in order to find the very best blender. read latest news from https://www.engadget.com/2017/01/25/the-best-personal-blender/
Never Settle For a Second-Rate Blender – Only the Best Blender for Smoothies Will Do
Blenders come in all shapes and sizes and it's very important to ensure you only get the best. Now, the best varies to everyone in terms of what they need and want in a blender but buying the one that's right for you is all that matters. You might think any blender will do but sometimes, it won't and the results will be considerably different. That is why buying the best is extremely crucial. It will make all the difference and the best blenders can produce some amazing smoothies and even some delicious soups.

Fans of the Ken Akamatsu manga series "Negima" will be pleased to know that FUNimation has picked up the U.S. license for the 26-episode anime series that aired earlier this year in Japan. A release is planned for next year.
Anime News Network (www.animenewsnetwork.com) reports that Greg Ayres has been tapped as the English-speaking voice of 10-year-old teacher/wizard in training Negi Springfield, while Luci Christian is listed as the voice of one of Negi's students and his roommate, Asuna.
Meanwhile, Seven Seas Entertainment, which has to date focused on publishing manga drawn by American artists, recently announced its first Japanese license: the "Boogiepop" novels and manga from which the highly underrated anime horror series "Boogiepop Phantom" were based. The first translated novel is due in February.
But while we're welcoming these series, two others are bowing out of the American market. One, "Flower of Eden," never even made it to store shelves after the manga's author, Yuki Suetsugu, admitted to plagiarizing art used in that series. Japanese publisher Kodansha pulled the plug, and licensor Tokyopop canceled the title.
An item in Zac Bertschy's latest "Hey Answerman!" column on Anime News Network confirms that another title, ADV Manga's "Aria," has gone "on hiatus" as of its third volume, which in the biz is a polite way of saying it's pretty much done for ...

The Hick Family, September 2015
A wonderful holiday in a delightful, well equipped apartment. Small complex in beautiful surroundings with a lovely pool area and only a 10 min stroll to the local sandy beaches and good selection of restaurants. Inclusion of a car allowed exploration of this southern coast of Corsica which is just lovely. Very much recommended.

The main reception area in the apartment building is very modern with tiled floors, seating and a traditional wooden desk.
Apartment 1 is immediately to the right of the main reception area and it enters into a small hallway with tiled stairs leading up to the main apartment. These stairs are gated at the top to prevent unsupervised access from the apartment.
At the top of the stairs, there's a separate loo immediately to the right with the twin bedroom a little further down the corridor.
The twin room has fitted wardrobes and shuttered windows to keep the room dark enough for little ones to sleep the night through. The room also has an en suite shower room with a loo and wash basin.
Opposite the twin room, you'll find the double bedroom, which is very spacious with an en suite shower room. Through the window, the views look out over the pool and parking areas.
Both bedrooms are air conditioned and have plenty of room for an additional cot.
The corridor leads on to the open plan living area with a modern fitted kitchen, fully equipped with all you need, plus a Malongo coffee machine for a delicious start to the mornings.
The dining table sits next to the kitchen with two leather sofas pointed towards the television. The television comes with a DVD player and children's DVDs and there are doors leading out to a large terrace.
Parent Points:
The patio doors in the living room lead out to your private enclosed terrace, which is partly covered, so there's plenty of shade.
Dine alfresco with the barbecue and outdoor dining table and relax on the rattan lounge chairs.
The shared swimming pool is completely enclosed with access through a big gate, and is heated in May, June and September. Roman steps lead into the shallow end for little ones to splash about.
Poolside, you'll find plenty of sun loungers to relax on as well as an honesty bar and handy outdoor shower.
Parent Point:
Pinarello Beach
You'll want to spend most of your days relaxing and playing on Pinarello Beach, which is just a 10 minute stroll from the apartment and is backed by stunning mountains.
The warm blue waters are shallow for quite a way out for little ones to splash freely, and the soft sand is perfect for sandcastle making.
There's a selection of lovely restaurants along the beachfront and in the nearby village of Pinarellu.
The whole family will love La Rouf Pizzeria along the beachfront, which serves food for all ages and tastes, from pizzas, burgers and steaks to traditional Corsican cuisine.
Along the beachfront of Pinarello, La Source is perfect for evening meals, with deliciously high standard choices on offer and views out to the bay.
Sainte Lucie de Porto Vecchio is just a five minute drive away, where you can take a visit to Gracie Mille, which is a relaxing family-run restaurant.

It boasts a historic Old Town, which leads you down cobbled streets to designer boutiques, cafes, bars and restaurants.
Head to the tourist office, where you can get a free booklet in English, which provides a map of a short tour round the historic sights of the town.
Porto Vecchio is well-known for trendy clothes shops and also has a great range of book shops, gift shops and food shops. Remember that the shops will be shut between 12/12.30 and 3pm every day.
The Porte Genoise (or the Genoise Gate) frames the beautiful panoramic views from Porto Vecchio, looking out over the surrounding valley, mountains, sea and the harbour. In September, you can also watch the annual salt harvest from here.
At The Porte Genoise, a row of charming restaurants is set into the ancient city walls.
For a treat, make sure you take a trip to Gelateria L'art De La Glace, a delicious gelateria full of a wide range of ice cream flavours, at a reasonable price too.
Bordemer Croisieres Day Tours
A 40 minute drive from the apartment, Bordemer Croisieres Day Tours offers boat tours from short coastal trips to full day outings to suit everyone. See the stunning sights along the Corsican coast with your friendly and welcoming hosts.
At lunch time, you'll pull up to a stunning cove with crystal clear waters for refreshments and appetizers, which are all included in the ticket price. The boat is equipped with loos and cabins for little ones to nap in.
Treetop Trail
For little adventurers, take a trip to the Treetop Trail in Solenzara, a 40 minute drive from the apartment.
There are a range of courses for children from the age of three up to adults and seniors, so there's plenty to do for pre-schoolers and up, but not for babies and young toddlers.
There's treetop climbing as well as workshops in from ladders and vertical nets through to crossing the River Solenzara.

Private Bike Sharing
by BleeperBike
Enhance the Health and Well being of your employees with the BleeperBike Private Bike Share Scheme.
Enhance the Health and Well being of your employees with the BleeperBike Private Bike Share Scheme.
In July of 2019 BleeperBike completed development of our new app, WeWeel, which has been created specifically for Private Bike Share schemes.
The app, whilst providing the same functionality and utilising the same smart lock technology as our public app, allows our clients to have their own private fleet of bikes that public users cannot access.
WeWeel allows us to provide private bike sharing solutions to corporates, hotels, business parks, state bodies and any other entity where the client requires a private bike share scheme that they have control over who can use the bikes.
We have full public liability insurance for all users on our bikes meaning you the client will not be held liable in the unlikely event of a user being injured whilst cycling.
Our bikes are ISO 4210 certified and designed specifically for bike sharing schemes. Regular maintenance checks are carried out and the records of each bike recorded by our mechanics.
Our private app solution, WeWeel, has been designed specifically so that clients have full control over who can unlock, use and lock the bikes within their scheme and we can report on usage.
Our customer service team will take care of all the customer support issues which the users of your bikes may have. Support is provided by email and phone.
All bikes on a private scheme can be have the option of being exclusively branded with your organisations logo or with other info you may wish to advertise.
Users need to be fully aware on how to use the bikes correctly. We do this through various methods such as user guides and on-site demonstrations.
Our standard bike is pedal powered with 3 gears and front and rear brakes. It is a lightweight design (18kg net) thanks to an aluminium frame and is equipped with dynamo powered front and rear lights. It has a front basket for carrying your belongings.
Our Electric Bike comes equipped with a Bosch Drive Unit.
Bosch riding sensation provides you with a unique eBike experience. Three sensors measure the rider's pedal power, cadence and speed over 1,000 times per second. This facilitates an organic interplay between you and your eBike.
Private Bike Sharing by BleeperBike is one of the easiest and feature packed mobility solutions available within Ireland. Discover what we can do for your business.

Calling a hotel 'family-friendly' often means that those travelling without children run a mile in the opposite direction, but the luxury Foxhills spa and golf hotel is so vast that all ages and groups can thoroughly enjoy themselves without crashing in on someone's else's peace and tranquility.
Set on a 400-acre estate in Surrey, handily just a few miles from the M25 and M3 motorways, Foxhills is such a size that your room key comes with a very useful map of the grounds. It's perfect for sporty types as there are two 18-hole championship golf courses and a smaller 9-hole one, 11 tennis courts, three swimming pools (one indoors, two open-air) and a spa, all surrounding the main building, the 19th century Manor House.
I arrived in the pouring rain which meant that the tennis courts were empty and the clubhouse was packed with people who would have rather been out on the fairway. However in the classic British summer way, within half an hour the sun was shining and Foxhills was transformed. Check-in was quick and friendly and a jug of a refreshing non-alcoholic cocktail for guests was a nice touch.
To compare prices for Foxhills click on: HotelsCombined – Expedia – Hotels.com
To book directly with the hotel, go to: Foxhills hotel and golf
To read more reviews click here to go to The Manor House on TripAdvisor
There are 70 rooms and suites at scattered around the grounds at Foxhills, including recently refurbished executive suites with their own private gardens. My room was in a courtyard, overlooking a lovely outdoor pool on one side and the tennis courts on the other.
Once the sun came out, so did the tennis players: Foxhills is a popular tennis club and has hosted a Aegon Pro-Series International world ranking tournament since 2007.
As I was travelling alone and have played golf just twice in my entire life (I'm not counting crazy golf in Bognor Regis) I gave the tennis courts and golf courses a miss and headed instead for the spa complex, which has an indoor pool, steam room, sauna and best of all, a lovely spa garden where you could relax in the outdoor hot tub or on one of the many loungers tucked away in little pockets of the hedge.
It was extremely pleasant lying out in the late afternoon sun and while it wasn't perfect – the natural swimming pool in which the water is purified by plants and algae was closed off, and I had to go back to reception to ask for towels and robes which hadn't been offered when I signed in (and received a rather hastily rolled-up bundle) there were nice touches, such as the lockers all having place names rather than numbers (such as Whitstable and Westward Ho!) which made it easier to remember.
For families with younger children there is another indoor pool on the other side of the grounds, with a playroom, teenager's chill-out space with table football and a pool table, and a good-sized outdoor pool area complete with a cafe, lots of loungers and lots of room. With the sun shining it was now a hive of activity and delighted squeals from the children, and meant that the spa garden itself was child-free for grown-ups who wanted a more relaxed environment.
After a lovely snooze in the sunshine I headed back for a swim in the courtyard pool before dinner. Despite a sign saying it was open until 10pm, the covers get put on at 6.30pm but at least it meant I had time for a pre-dinner cocktail sitting on the Manor House terrace, enjoying the stunning view. Being in the middle of a large estate meant that Foxhills is incredibly peaceful and it's easy to feel relaxed very quickly.
Dinner in the light and airy restaurant was very good, with prompt and attentive service. There was a six-course tasting menu for £55 – with wine for an additional £35 – as well as a la carte menus where the starters came in at around £10 and the mains were around £26.
I was treated to the tasting menu, which started off with Arlington White egg yolk ravioli, moved on to confit salmon with wasabi and radish, and then Rhug Estate lamb with cabbage and smoked aubergine.
The ravioli was delicious and the salmon was fresh and instantly Instagrammable.
The lamb was perhaps a little too dry but the blueberry cheesecake followed by a selection of cheese and petit fours were a lovely way to round off the meal before heading back to my room.
My room was a good size, with a smart bathroom, separate shower and lots of plug points and storage space. Rather to my disappointment there was no hotel information pack – apparently Foxhills is in the process of reducing the amount of information they give to guests and when I saw the old version I could see why (everything from weddings and conferences to a hotel history and extensive details of local attractions) but it was a shame not to at least have something to inform guests about spa opening times, dinner menus and a list of amenities.
Breakfast the next day was in the same room as dinner. Sadly it was marred by slow service, no newspapers (other guests were queuing up at reception to ask the same thing) and not being able to dine al fresco in the glorious sunshine which is surely a perk of staying in a place with such a lovely terrace. (It's due to health and safety issues according to the manager, although you can dine in the open air at the clubhouse just 100 yards away).
However I took my coffee out to the lovely terrace instead and enjoyed the morning sunshine. Other guests were heading over to the tennis courts or the golf course but for me, the spa was calling…

Electronic Study Data Submission; Data Standard Support End Date, 5816 [2013-01641]Download as PDF
[Federal Register Volume 78, Number 18 (Monday, January 28, 2013)] [Notices] [Page 5816] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Printing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2013-01641] [[Page 5816]] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Food and Drug Administration [Docket No. FDA-2012-N-0710] Electronic Study Data Submission; Data Standard Support End Date AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS. ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), and the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) are announcing the end of support for the 3.1.1. version of Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) Implementation Guide (SDTM IG 3.1.1.). SDTM IG 3.1.2, which has been available since October 2009, is the newer standard supported by FDA. Support for SDTM IG 3.1.1 will end on January 28, 2015. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Virginia Hussong, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 22, Rm. 1161, Silver Spring, MD 20993, Phone: 301-796-1016, email@example.com. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA encourages sponsors to submit standardized study data using Agency-supported data standards (see http://www.fda.gov/ForIndustry/DataStandards/StudyDataStandards/default.htm).\1\ An Agency-supported data standard means that FDA has established processes and technology infrastructure to support the receipt, processing, review, and archiving of study data using the standard. As data standards evolve, FDA will periodically end support for old standards in favor of newer standards that are better suited to meet FDA data management and review needs. FDA maintains a catalog of the supported data standards for study data submissions at http://www.fda.gov/downloads/ForIndustry/DataStandards/StudyDataStandards/UCM292505.xls. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ Section 745A(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), added by section 1136 of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) (Public Law 112- 144), requires electronic submission of drug and biologic applications beginning no earlier than 24 months after issuance of a final guidance. The final guidance, to be issued under section 745A of the FD&C Act following public notice and opportunity for comment, will specify the format required for such electronic submissions. The action announced in this notice, although applicable to electronic submission of standardized study data, is not being taken under section 745A of the FD&C Act and is not intended to trigger the mandatory submission requirements under that section. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To facilitate the transition to newer standards, FDA is committed to providing a transition period of 24 months during which both older and newer standards are supported. FDA first began supporting SDTM IG 3.1.2 on October 30, 2009, over 2 years ago. This notice establishes that CBER, CDER, and CDRH are ending support for SDTM IG 3.1.1. effective January 28, 2015. Effective immediately, submitters are strongly encouraged to use SDTM IG 3.1.2 instead. The support end date is the date past which study data using the standard may not be submitted, unless special arrangements have been made in advance with the Agency. FDA recognizes the challenges associated with adopting a new standard, particularly because studies are often conducted and study data are standardized months to years before submission to the Agency. Submitters seeking a special arrangement to provide data using SDTM IG 3.1.1 beyond the established support end date should submit a waiver request. A waiver request process will be posted at http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DevelopmentApprovalProcess/FormsSubmissionRequirements/ElectronicSubmissions/ucm249979.htm for CDER and http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/DevelopmentApprovalProcess/ucm209137.htm for CBER by November 1, 2012. The waiver process will be put into place to support the transition and allow for submission of clinical data in SDTM IG 3.1.1 format data in cases where SDTM IG 3.1.2 is otherwise not feasible and/or when such submission has been determined as having no negative impact to the review process. Dated: January 22, 2013. Leslie Kux, Assistant Commissioner for Policy. [FR Doc. 2013-01641 Filed 1-25-13; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4160-01-P

Karamu Trail Track was originally an off-road trail bike track open once a month to the public from the mid 1980's until the mid 1990's.
The tracks are remembered and talked about by many veteran riders who rode with David Smith and the "Smith boys". In response to demand we opened up the tracks again in 2006 for people who would like to experience our extraordinary and unique purpose-built tracks.
Beginner riders and children are welcome and will enjoy the specially designed novice track and like the advanced riders will be able to enjoy some challenging terrain. Children will need to be supervised by their parent or other adult, and other riders are always willing to assist when needed
(We don't hire trail bikes - you must bring your own!)
Experience one of the tracks first hand….

'It's firmly on the radar' – transport secretary acknowledges A14 problems
Sandy Martin MP, James Cartlidge MP, Suffolk County Council deputy leader Mary Evans, Transport Secretary Chris Grayling, Jo Churchill MP and Mark Pendlington Picture: BRAD JONES
The A14 in Suffolk is not fit for purpose – for the region or nation – and needs major investment, transport secretary Chris Grayling has been told.
The warning was delivered in Westminster by a delegation of top business leaders and politicians backing the No More A14 Delays campaign, spearheaded by Suffolk Chamber of Commerce.
Hold-ups on the road are costing firms time and money – with evidence suggesting journey times have got much worse in the last few years.
Motorists also remain frustrated by delays around the likes of Copdock.
At the briefing on Wednesday, Mr Grayling said the project was "firmly on his radar".
He said: "We understand the importance of the A14, its why we've got this huge project in Cambridge.
"I get the problem, understand the challenge. We are shaping priorities for coming years. We've got a whole range of projects that start, and we've got projects that need to happen. Believe me, this is firmly on my radar."
The campaign highlights bottlenecks at seven key pinch-points on the road, particularly around Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds, and the impact that has on the local and national economy.
Mark Pendlington, chair of the A14 strategy board, said the case for investment in Suffolk was "compelling".
"The A14 is the golden economic thread that serves not only Suffolk, but the rest of the UK.
"It is Britain's premier trade route between the UK's biggest port and the rest of the UK. Most of the goods that are supplied and sold in the 'Midlands Engine' and the 'Northern Powerhouse', for example, travel past us on the A14. 'UK plc' depends on us and what we do.
"This is not a dual carriageway into some cul-de-sac in Felixstowe."
He added: "There is compelling evidence that says if the government was to invest only £150m, the value that the economy would reap would be over £1.5bn. We would get 30,000 jobs in the long term, and nearly 35,000 new homes. I think that's a pretty good deal."
The House of Commons event was hosted by South Suffolk MP James Cartlidge, while fellow MPs Jo Churchill, Sandy Martin and Therese Coffey were also showing support.
Mr Cartlidge said: "This is about the whole region. We can't just spend on Cambridgeshire. If freight comes off a boat at Felixstowe and gets on a lorry and goes up the A14, it's got to get from Suffolk – it's got to get through the Copdock interchange and Cambridgeshire. It's incredibly important we have a joined up approach."
Suffolk County Council deputy leader Mary Evans said businesses and residents struggled daily with A14 delays.
She said: "Just as a Suffolk Punch was the workhorse of our county, Suffolk has been a proud workhorse for this nation. We make a huge contribution, nearly £17bn a year to the British economy. In terms of national spending, we are asking for a very small sum of money for these projects. It could unlock such a huge prize."
The campaign received a major boost last year when Highways England designated the highway as a "current, planned and potential expressway".
Expressways are motorway-grade two-lane highways and their designation requires that all junctions off and onto them are enhanced.
Since then the campaign has provided evidence to the Department for Transport's consultation into the Highways England report to ensure that the A14 is included in the final Roads Investment Strategy (RIS) 2.
The DfT is due to make a final decision as to which projects will be funded later this year.

On the eighth day of Christmas my green friend gave to me…8 backyard hens, 7 CFLs, 6 fair-trade chocolates, 5 faucet aerators, 4 solar lights, 3 large rain-barrels, 2 new thermostats and a live…Christmas tree!
I think it was only about 18 months ago that I bought my first eggs from a local farm. Since then I have overheard so many conversations about raising hens and have read a number of articles about a return to "urban farming" (love this National Geographic article) not only for produce but also for the hens and fresh eggs.
While researching backyard hens, since my knowledge is minimal, I came across an interesting article about the trend to backyard hens after the 2010 egg recall when 500,000 eggs were infected with salmonella. In his well written article James McWilliams discusses several of the positives and negatives of raising hens. You can read James' entire article written by clicking here. To learn even more about backyard chickens be sure to read the comments and replies after his article.
If you are seriously considering raising hens you definitely want to watch this "hencam" set up with 2 cameras in an indoor hen-house and their "patio". A California couple, Lee and Don share their six hens, all with names and personalities, with anyone who is interested. Although I am not at the point of raising hens I did find the webcam and the website to be very informative!
So, on this eighth day of a Green Christmas and the first day of 2013 as you think about some New Year's resolutions, maybe hens are in the mix somewhere? Happy New Year and happy clucking…that is what hens do isn't it?

Shredding is a kind of littering or spreading, as much as a ploy for indecipherability. Coherent material becomes demolished by its consequence. It is a rebuke to capitalist principles of accumulation that rely on the body's abstraction. 'The body' already, abstracted. Shredding disinvests itself of the totalising whole, exposing any blanketing 'we' of subjectivity as a ruse. Articulation and destruction, ambiguity and obligation, specificity and dissolution, singularity and collectivity – their various interchanges and struggles, become descriptors for Hannah Black's 'Some Context'.
'The Situation' (2017) is a book of transcribed, edited and redacted conversations between the artist and friends about 'the situation'. The universal imposition of the title, 'The Situation', immediately cracks open its cause: questioning the Enlightenment ideals of universalism, displaying their ongoing violence and contemporary inadequacy. The conversations prioritise a close at hand analytic rigour, at times diarisitc: 'My situation also right now is having felt, for the last few months, paralysed by attention … I haven't written anything that I feel is worthwhile because I feel like I'm chasing some version of myself and what role I perform for people … I just don't want people to think I'm anything.' The conversations are peppered with brutal, immediate, facticity. Throughout the size of this situation, the most banal minutiae of cognitive interiority prove essential, with Black rejecting their gendered imposition of frivolity.
20,000 free copies of 'The Situation' (2017) are stacked in the centre; the shredded text litters the floor and provides the stuffing for a selection of lumpen, eyeless, cuddly toys – 'transitional objects' to be destroyed at the close of the exhibition. Child-like clay sculptures blend imperceptibly with the concrete floor in the form of facial trimmings: eyes, smiles, the occasional vacuous figure complete with anarchic grin.
The conversations show how erasures of difference in a collective 'we' flatten the political horizon into spectacle, cajoling the individual into a self-critique of the underlying passivity of our politics of hope. Engaging in a Marxist black feminist framework Black wrestles with pleasure, judgement, the limits of relation and the vastness of unthought.
Shredding as form; illiterate like dust. This decompression goes some way in emphasising the multifaceted nature of identity, as well as its profound instability. So too, does shredding display the potential in the uselessness of art, a dustbin: 'I like the dustbin kind of dimension of art being this place where other things come for refuge or some to die … it's terrifyingly open in some way.'
The book exists in a limited sense; the show will be undone, without concrete ownership. In a volatile world loosed from existential moorings, 'Some Context' grapples with correlationism and the violence of empty historical category, to, in its close minutiae, express a collectivised assemblage of subjectivities that understand theory can totalise as much as the situation. So, you start where you have access, where your meaning is assembled in a broken whole.

Loggers Seek Legislative Help to Save Maine Biomass Energy Facilities
– by Chris Facchini, January 8, 2016, WCSH
The professional logging contractors of Maine, a trade group representing the men and women working in Maine's forests believe the state legislature can and must take action now to save jobs in the state's struggling rural economy. With biomass power plants in West Enfield and Jonesboro closing in March, loggers are running out of places to take their harvested timber.
To save those plants, Dana Doran, the executive director of the Professional Logging Contractors of Maine says lawmakers need to take action.
"I think we're in a tough spot and I think the governor and the legislature appreciate that." Doran said. "They understand whats happened in the past 6 months with the paper mills and this situation and that something has to be done for the long run."
One thing he says the state should do right away is to guarantee power contracts for renewable energy plants so they can compete with cheaper natural gas power.
That could raise costs for electricity ratepayers making it a tough sell to the LePage administration which has been working to lower energy costs.
"That's an expensive prospect and we have to look at economics and public policy and is that the right way to promote logging and is that the right way ensure that we have low energy costs," explained Patrick Woodcock, the Director of the State Energy Office.
"Obviously its hard to see power plants closing its also hard to see energy users closing those are balancing acts," he said.
Doran says it would be more expensive to lose the power plants which he says generate four indirect jobs in Maine's forest products industry for every megawatt of power they produce.
"The value that's lost when those plants go away cannot be replaced even with cheaper sources of power like natural gas," he said.
Woodcock did leave the door open to consider all options to help the logging industry. He also suggested that the state will look at the market for renewable energy credits in Maine and New England and see if there's a way to help those power plants that way.

Johnny Manziel's Lawyer Accidentally Texts The AP And Then Threatens To Sue Them If They Report On It
from the err-and-err-and-err dept
It's become common game by many in America and elsewhere to crap on lawyers whenever the opportunity presents itself. This is done unfairly in many cases, with a lack of understanding of what the adversarial nature of our legal system requires of legal advocates. For instance, a lawyer that strongly advocates for a client accused of something terrible isn't himself or herself terrible. That's the duty of the job.
But for one of the lawyers on the staff of Johnny Manziel, the seemingly troubled and frequent guest of the court who was once primarily known as a football player, it appears both that proper lawyer-ing is a bit more difficult than for most and that he's a bully to boot. As you may have heard, Bob Hinton, who had been tasked with representing Manziel in his domestic abuse court case, accidentally texted the Associated Press information about his attempts to settle the case in a rather unfavorable light with respect to his client.
An attorney handling Johnny Manziel's domestic violence case expressed doubts about the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback's ability to stay clean and said he was given a receipt that shows Manziel may have spent more than $1,000 at a drug paraphernalia store just 15 hours after he was involved in a hit-and-run crash, according to a lengthy text message accidentally sent to The Associated Press. Defense attorney Bob Hinton's text indicated Manziel's legal team was seeking a plea deal with prosecutors, but suggested that could be tricky.
"Heaven help us if one of the conditions is to pee in a bottle," the attorney wrote.
This oops-text happened after the AP had apparently sent Hinton a text message requesting comment about a hit-and-run accident that Manziel was reportedly involved in (Manziel claims to be the victim of the accident). Hinton had meant to text what he sent to the AP to co-counsel. The communication also included information about a smoke-shop receipt that may have indicated that Manziel had been purchasing synthetic marijuana, a fact not useful for the defense team of a high-profile individual with well-covered run-ins involving substance abuse. To accidentally text that information to the Associated Press has to be one of the best examples of what not to do as an attorney for such an individual.
But the really face-palm-inducing move by Hinton was to then threaten to sue the AP if it did any reporting around that text message.
When asked about the text, Hinton said he had meant to send it to co-counsel Jim Darnell and was unaware the AP had received it instead. He insisted the contents were protected by attorney-client privilege and threatened to sue if certain details were published.
I guess we'll get to take the measure of that threat, as the AP most certainly did report on not only the text, but the subsequent threat as well. Such threats are unlikely to ingratiate a lawyer to the press and, while I won't say the AP reported because of the threat, it seems like the added threat has given the story some extra flavor, propelling it Streisand-style into wider coverage.
And, not surprisingly, others are now reporting that Hinton has been booted from Manziel's legal staff as a result. Not a good day for the counselor, I think. The mistake was bad enough, but the attempted cover-up, as always, ends up doing more harm.

Quick Reference
The idiosyncratic taboo or prohibition placed upon heroes and prominent personages in Irish narratives. In certain contexts the imposition of a geis may require a positive demand or injunction or may specify other actions as forbidden or unlawful. In yet other contexts it may be synonymous with the English incantation or spell, and perhaps even a point of honour.
Many of the thousands of instances of an imposed geis initially appear capricious or wilful, until they are seen in a larger context. Cúchulainn, for example, was forbidden to eat the meat of a dog or hound; but he earned his name [Cú, hound; chulainn, of Culann] when he killed a ferocious dog. That so many gessa are imposed upon kings-e.g. that the ruler of Tara should not have the sun rise above him while he was still in bed there-suggests the concept may have originated in early rituals of kingship. Some are prescribed by druids at birth. The breaking of a geis often brings instant death and sometimes also ill favour or destruction to the culprit's people.
Many gessa are imposed by women upon men. In several stories of the Sovereignty figure (usually seen first as a disgusting hag), she defeats the hero in a game or asks him a riddle he cannot answer and rewards herself with a geis he initially finds impossible to perform. In several love stories, e.g. Deirdre, Gráinne, and Diarmait, the heroine places the hero under geis to elope with her. See also GLÁM DÍCENN.
See John R. Reinhard, The Survival of Geis in Medieval Romance (Halle, 1933); Phillip O'Leary, 'The Honour of Women in Early Irish Literature', Ériu, 38 (1987), 27–44; 'Honour-Bound: The Social Context of Early Irish Heroic Geis', Celtica, 20 (1988), 85–107.

Arsene Wenger to axe three flops from Man Utd defeat against Swansea (including Sanchez)
ARSENE WENGER could drop Alexis Sanchez, Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott after Arsenal's embarrassing defeat at Manchester United.
Arsene Wenger is ready to wield the axe at Arsenal
Arsenal went down 3-2 at Old Trafford with Manchester United's Marcus Rashford scoring twice on his full Premier League debut.
The Gunners have been hugely criticised for their performance against United, which leaves them five points off league leaders Leicester.
And according to website Football Insider, Wenger is ready to ring the changes for Arsenal's clash with Swansea at the Emirates on Wednesday (7.45pm).
Sanchez, Ramsey are among the senior players who could apparently be dropped against the Swans, with the likes of Mohamed Elneny, Joel Campbell and Olivier Giroud in the frame to come in.
Walcott is expected to lose his place after an anonymous display up front, meaning an instant recall for Frenchman Giroud.
Elneny could get his first Premier League start in place of Ramsey while Sanchez - off form since his return from a hamstring injury a month ago - may make way for Campbell.
Per Mertesacker might find his way back into the team after starting on the bench against United, with Gabriel and Laurent Koscielny also struggling in Manchester.
Football Insider add that an Arsenal source has revealed boss Wenger was alarmed at how the pressure got to his team yesterday.

Zhou Xun Promotes Her Latest Film "Ming Ming"
Chinese actress Zhou Xun's latest film "Ming Ming" is slated to open in Chinese theaters on April 26. The film was highly praised at the 11th Pusan International Film Festival in South Korea last October.
Chinese actress-turned-singer Zhou Xun Thursday in Beijing released her new music vedio "Look Look," which is also the theme song for her new action film "Ming Ming." Collaboration between Zhou Xun and Hong Kong singer Anthony Wong, the music mix the rock style with electronic flavor, which exactly meets the tune of the story about the legendary women in a modern city.
Zhou Xun plays two of the leading roles in the film--the Twins, Na Na and Ming Ming, with absolutely different characteristics and personalities. Na Na is a passionate and hot modern woman while Ming Ming is quiet and soft. The two girls fall in love with the same man, played by Hong Kong actor Daniel Wu.
Zhou Xun takes off the classical looks and music as she did in her previous films like "The Banquet," and she tries a different modern style of both appearances and the theme songs in the new movie. Zhou Xun said she always liked to try different things. She tried a different modern song in the film.
Xun said "I like it. I think singing the same style of songs is not an interesting thing. Just like an actress trying different roles, you can taste a variety of music"
The film is the first feature-length production from director Susie Au, who is better know for making unique music videos. Co-starring Taiwan singer and actor Jeff Cheung, the film has aroused many interests from the audience when it gave a preview in Hong Kong last week. The Hong Kong film critics circle called it a new film genre that we have never seen before.

Sunday at the Seaside
On Sunday morning Trout and I had seen a few photographs taken on the seafront, and we were too curious not to walk down and investigate. The strength of the storms had pushed thousands of stones up from the shore, and it was quite a sight. The trip turned us into real tourists, complete with a tray of chips!
The ground was a slippery mess of seaweed, shells and rocks.
Would you like to take a seat?
How was your weekend? Mine was pretty relaxed; some housework, some blogging, some drinks, some breakfast with friends. It's my one year anniversary at DanceFit this evening, and I think it's probably the best (and most successful!) New Year's Resolution I've ever made. I'm so happy that I went to that first class in the new year. I hope that everyone has had a great start to the week!
January 6, 2014 6:20 pm
Wow! That's so crazy. I can't believe I didn't hear about the crazy stones 'till now!
January 7, 2014 2:19 pm
Woah, that is quite a scary sight! We always used to curse the stones on Brighton beach when we were kids!

Quinn: Planners Wanted ASAP
Needed: 50,000 new financial planners, and in a hurry. Boomers are reaching pre-retirement and retirement age, and, often, they're clueless about what to do with their money now. They're eager for help with decisions that could make or break their lives: Can I afford to retire? Should I take a pension or a lump sum? What's a suitable investment? How do I make my nest egg last? There aren't enough people trained to answer those questions well, says Deena Katz, associate professor in the Personal Financial Planning department of Texas Tech University in Lubbock.
As always, the issue is quality, and the financial sharks are circling. "That keeps me up at night," says Sheryl Garrett, founder of Garrett Planning Network, an association of nearly 300 independent planners. "There are so many people drooling over all the money that's going to be coming out of retirement plans."
Last year, the National Association of Securities Dealers fined Citigroup Global Markets $3 million and ordered $12.2 million in restitution to more than 200 former employees of BellSouth. A team of Citibank brokers had persuaded the workers to retire early, cash out their pensions and 401(k)s and wheel the money into investments. The brokers claimed that the retirees could earn 12 percent a year even in "ugly" times, withdraw 9 percent and live on the money. Needless to say, it didn't work. Citigroup settled, without admitting or denying the charges.
If you're looking for advice, how do you avoid playing minnow to the sharks? Start by seeking the help of a financial planner. Unlike investment advisers, planners take a holistic view of your situation—your personal needs and goals, how much you can afford to spend, whether you need long-term care insurance and ways of conserving capital.
The credible planners will have at least one of three designations on their business cards: Certified Financial Planner (CFP, the best-known credential), Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC, for planners who use insurance to reach financial goals) or Personal Financial Specialists (PFS, held by certified public accountants). All three will have taken serious courses and passed difficult exams.
Winnow down the planners to those who practice as "fee only." That means they sell no products and take no commissions. You pay for advice by the hour (at rates of $150 to $350), by the project ($2,000 to $6,000 for a stand-alone financial plan) or, if they manage your money, a fixed percentage of your portfolio (typically 1 percent—a fee that covers planning, too).
Commissioned planners and stockbrokers, by contrast, make their living by selling you stuff, especially tax-deferred annuities, insurance and high-fee mutual funds. You may get a "plan," but it's designed to collect your money rather than help you articulate goals.
Brokers who are weary of this kind of selling are leaving their firms and setting up as independent, registered investment advisers (RIAs). Some of them earn a CFP, too. Firms such as Schwab Institutional, Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services and TD Ameritrade provide a range of services to help them establish their offices. These "breakaway brokers" start by charging both commissions and fees—a business model called "fee-based." Over time, they tend to migrate to a full, fee-only practice.
The breakaways worry Mary Schapiro, head of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), which regulates brokers and brokerage firms. "If they needed regulation as brokers, they need it as advisers," she says. RIA oversight falls to the states and the Securities and Exchange Commission, whose enforcement isn't as well funded as FINRA's. A recent, coordinated examination of RIA firms by 43 states found a high percentage of them charging excessive fees, making unsuitable recommendations or misrepresenting their advisers' qualifications. The best RIAs for retirement planning have CFPs and a fee-only practice. Even then, be aware that their interest lies in getting all your money to manage.
Planner Tom Orecchio of Greenbaum and Orecchio in Old Tappan, N.J., sees a rise in CFPs coming from America's colleges. Some 300 academic offerings are now registered with the CFP Board of Standards. Virginia Tech in Blacksburg offers undergraduate courses in financial planning. Texas Tech's department includes a Ph.D. in planning, training students for professorships at other schools.
The schools, however, turn out only a modest number of graduates each year. Most planners enter the field as a second career. The magazine Fast Company calls this one of the top jobs of the future—foreseeing 35 percent growth through 2012, and with great salaries, too. Consider it if you have a head for numbers plus people and counseling skills.
The Garrett Planning Network and Cambridge Advisors both help career-switchers transition into the business as fee-only planners, serving middle-income clients. Their Web sites will list a planner near you. When making your choice, however, look for one who's been in practice for a while. Let new CFPs learn their trade on someone else.

UPDATE: This demo may have some issues. Please check this demo which is 100% working.
Just like the previous demo, this demo is about moving the body by touching and dragging it, only this time you can drag multiple bodies at once using multiple fingers (only if your device supports multi touch). You can also drag a single body if you want.
For this I have used HAMMER.JS javascript library. Just touch the bodies with your fingers and try to move the body.
If there happens to be any problem with this demo or any sort of weird behavior, please comment or give me a feedback (Reply section).
Meanwhile here's the demo.

I was working on documenting the SQLite support in Codename One, you can see some of that work both in the db package and in the developer guide. As a demo for SQL I decided to just create a tool that allows you to type arbitrary SQL to execute it on the device and see the results in a
Beside being a cool example this can be a hugely powerful debugging tool to one of the more painful API's to debug on the device. You can integrate this as a hidden feature into your application and use it to debug odd "on device" issues by querying the DB!
We've had a busy week working with several customers on various tasks/issues as well as the documentation which is practically unrecognizable by now (more than 600 pages by now). As a result a lot of small fixes and enhancements were made to the code as well as one new niche component.Read More
A very common UI pattern is the 5 star ranking system. Up until recently we always had the same answer when developers asked us how to implement it: "Use toggle buttons (CheckBox)".
This is still not a bad answer but we think there is a "better" simpler way to do this thru the
Slider which was effectively designed with this usage in mind.
Just last week I wrote that we are making an effort not to add new features and we got foiled by a couple of new features. The main reason for this is paying customers who need to have a feature now. This makes it hard for us to focus completely, but it does keep the lights on here so we can't really complain.
To be fair, during this time we were able to almost double the page count of the developer guide from the 3.2 era to 576 pages at this moment and we still have a lot of work ahead of us in that department.
We are trying to improve the visibility of Codename One within search engines and as part of that we think we can also help you guys improve your visibility. When you submit your apps to the app gallery we provide dofollow links to your website/app store listings. We'd appreciate if you place dofollow links back to https://www.codenameone.com/ which you can place in a very hidden/unobtrusive way. This helps us increase our page rank and as a result will improve your page rank as we link back to you.Read More
As you know we've been working a lot on the docs both the developer guide and the JavaDoc's, we nearly doubled the amount pages in the developer guide and we did it without "cheating" (e.g. cramming more stuff, increasing font size). You can see all that work in the developer guide section but what I want to discuss today is the new Component Gallery and Layout Gallery.Read More
Table is a composite component (but it isn't a lead component), this means it is a subclass of Container. It's effectively built from multiple components (but it isn't a lead component), this means it is a subclass of Container. It's effectively built from multiple components.Read More
I've been remarkably busy working on issues and documentation so I neglected an important announcement I had to make. Over the weekend we flipped the default build from gradle back to ant. So effectively if you don't set any build hint the behavior will be
android.gradle false which should work fine for most of you. This is temporary but we felt it was necessary as a stopgap measure.
We'd like to thank all of you who signed up to the pro subscription, the release of 3.3 is the perfect time to do that. So we are opening up the JavaScript build target for 1 year until March 1st 2017 to all current pro subscribers!
If you have a pro subscription you can start sending a JavaScript build right away and experiment with portingyour app to the web...
If you don't have a pro license currently then you have until March 15th to upgrade and enjoy this offer. After March 15th the JavaScript port will return to enterprise only status for everyone who didn't signup prior to that.
Facebook recently announced the closing of parse.com which is disappointing but not totally surprising. Everyone knows a project from a large tech company can just shutdown in a blink of an eye leaving millions of users/developers in limbo. In that sense one of the questions that gets under my skin is what happens if Codename One calls it quits...Read More

The Green Houses face several obstacles, including regulatory issues. But some say they also face resistance from existing nursing homes, which are based on an economies-of-scale model — the larger the home, the cheaper it is to care for each individual resident. While some nursing-home operators welcome the idea of Green Houses, others are reluctant to help pay for them, says Susan Reinhard, who heads the AARP's Public Policy Institute. "You have owners who have their personal wealth invested in a model that was requested by society way back," she says.

WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA – House Republicans backed away from their resolute position on the federal debt ceiling, announcing Friday that they will move this week to boost the government's borrowing authority for three months.
The move is a retreat from the earlier insistence among some Republicans that any such debt increase will have to be matched by spending cuts of equal or greater size.
A vote on the proposal is expected Wednesday. If successful, the measure will postpone what was expected to be a major clash with the White House over government spending.
The new strategy, crafted at a three-day retreat in Williamsburg that ended Friday, is one sign that Republicans, battered at the polls last November and saddled with record-low public approval, are looking for new ways to litigate their differences with President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats over spending and deficits.
Under the bill, Republicans will seek to raise the debt limit to allow government borrowing through mid-April — long enough, they say, to give both chambers time to pass a budget for the next fiscal year. If either chamber fails to adopt a budget by April 15, that chamber's members will then have their congressional pay withheld.
As laid out to fellow Republicans in speech at the retreat, House Speaker John Boehner said the goal will be to force Senate Democrats to pass a budget, something they have failed to do for more than three years. With a budget in place, he told them Republicans will require that a longer-term increase in the debt ceiling be tied to significant spending cuts.
"We are going to pursue strategies that will obligate the Senate to finally join the House in confronting the government's spending problem," he said, according to excerpts from a speech he gave during the retreat that were released Friday.
As for docking the Senate's pay if it does not adopt a budget, Boehner said, "The principle is simple: No budget, no pay."
The GOP's new path is an attempt to acknowledge the reality that Republicans control only the House while preserving a tactical advantage that could force long-term reductions in spending, Rep. Paul Ryan said Thursday.
An administration official said the White House views the move as a major concession by House Republicans.
Though Obama has in the past insisted on increases of sufficient length to calm financial markets and remove any doubt about the ability of the U.S. government to pay its bills, the official said the president will accept a "clean" short-term extension that does not include cuts.
"We are encouraged that there are signs that congressional Republicans may back off their insistence on holding our economy hostage to extract drastic cuts in Medicare, education and programs middle-class families depend on," White House press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement.
A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the Senate will "be happy to consider" an increase in the debt ceiling that arrives without conditions. He did not address, however, how the Senate will treat the House's proposal to tie members' pay to the passage of a budget.
Some leading House Democrats reacted more negatively than the White House, asserting that a short-term extension will inject new uncertainty into the economy and indicated that tying congressional pay to the production of budget will violate their belief Congress should increase the debt ceiling without strings.
"We need a clean debt ceiling increase and a bipartisan and balanced budget that protects Medicare and Social Security, invests in the future, and responsibly reduces the deficit," said Drew Hammill, spokesman for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, in a statement issued Friday. "This is a gimmick unworthy of the challenges we face and the national debate we should be having. "
The Treasury Department has said Congress must raise the $16.4 trillion debt ceiling by the end of February or early March, or the U.S. will not be able to meet its obligations to its creditors.
Besides removing the immediate threat, a short-term debt ceiling increase will shift the debate to areas where Republicans believe they have more leverage.
Those include automatic spending cuts set to hit the military and domestic programs in early March, as well as the expiration of a funding mechanism keeping the government running at the end of that month.

Book Summary:
(Taken from back cover)
As the maid walked to the center of the room, she noticed that everything in the room was organized and in its proper place. At first glance the bed appeared to be very neat and the maid expected to find that it had already been made.
However, she quickly realized that this was not the situation as a young man was lying in it beneath the sheet and the bedspread with his head resting comfortably on a pillow. His hair was smooth and in place.
As the maid approached him more closely, a very uneasy feeling came over her and she got a very tight knot in the pit of her stomach. Her immediate impulse was to rush from the room and to call the housekeeping manager, but the man was young, probably not yet twenty. She felt almost a mother's concern for him.
Against her better judgment, the maid reached out to him and touched the small area of his bare shoulder that was not covered by the sheet. The maid's suspicion was confirmed. The shoulder was cold. The man was dead.
And so the stage is set for this gripping and suspense filled tale by new and upcoming author Ralph S. Souders.
Mandy's Review:
This is actually the second review that's been posted on Literary R&R for Hans Becker's Family. The first review was posted on April 14, 2011 by Charlene. You can click here to read what she had to say.
The plot is unique and imaginative. Angie was a good student and artist who was living with her family. Then things began to go down hill ... She was accused of molesting the oldest son of her employer, then she was coerced into an illicit affair with the accuser's husband and finally she had to go to court over the molestation accusation.
All of this trauma affects Angie and her trust of men. She learns from the trauma and utilizes it to her advantage.
Hans meets Angie through an unfortunate set of events and, over time, they grow close enough to begin living together. Hans is unaware of Angie's past and believes that Angie is the woman of his dreams.
When Hans' world begins to fall apart, it is from the results of situations that Angie has participated in. It catches him unexpectedly and he is not prepared for the emotional ride Angie has inadvertently thrown him on.
Although I enjoyed the plot of this novel, I did think the writing and language used was too proper. Maybe this is the German way ... I'm not sure, but I did find the characters to be a little too polite and respectful of each other. I know that probably sounds odd, but it's hard for me to imagine an entire culture excessively polite.
I would recommend this book to all persons who enjoy a suspense novel with a protagonist twist. It would be a wonderful addition to your personal library.

Dang. THat's freakin awesome!!!!!!
I love that you have founf your stride again!
Nice seeing you today! Hope you got lots of rest last night… you had a BUSY day!!
The Santa Shuffle was fun… but… my gosh… Could they have picked a more dangerous street for children to do a 1k on? I had to keep reminding DS to walk/run on the grass (no sidewalks and road not closed to traffic… no cones… and not even a person at the finish area to stop traffic so you could cross the road to get to the finish line… we didn't even know where the finish line was!). DS was still thrilled and had a super time… it was just more nerve-wracking for the parents!!
Hurray! So glad you had a good last/first day, and are still feeling satisfied with your choice to leave! you probably smell delicious from all the coffee and I'm sure Chris just wants to drink you up! xoxo
is that not one of the best feelings ever? when despite the craziness, business, tiredness and chaoticness, there is still that feeling of calm and contentment inside? gah, that may be one of my favorite things ever.
and i now want some muffins and coffee. so thank you :)
Hey Susan –

So behind! OK first, love your new photo- really cute.
Bitter sweetness of leaving old job- yah, you're right, it's prob best that you went straight to your other job (literally!). Love the mike sock! :-)
