What do you do to prevent storage tank overfill?
We deliver an unrivaled solution that addresses the entire safety loop
Storage tanks often contain liquids that are environmentally unsafe. If not properly monitored, serious incidents can occur - such as injury to your personnel. Something as simple as a faulty float switch can cause problems if it fails to alarm when fluids reach an unsafe high level in the tank. Vapor clouds can form when there is a spill which can lead to explosions and fire. So, overfill prevention systems are a must - but they can be costly, tedious to implement and difficult to maintain.
Reduce your commissioning time and maintenance costs
Our pre-configured solution package reduces project costs by up to 20% and lowers implementation risk as it is based on a standard approach with repeatable designs - tested and documented. Jointly developed with Rockwell Automation, it resulted in a complete and integrated solution able to address the entire safety loop, from measuring and monitoring to correcting elements. Devices are pre-integrated, only on-site parameterizing is needed, and the whole solution is modular and expandable.
Better scalability and higher suitability
Compliance with industry best practices and standards, API 2350 and IEC 61511 standards
Scalability to your needs
Suitability for manual and automated operated facilities
Up to SIL 3
Display of detailed warning and alarm messages on both text display and operating panel
Possibility of FailSafe High Warnings and High High Alarms
Better transparency and traceability
Integrated automated proof-test procedure (patent pending)
Automatic recording of all events for better transparency and trace-ability
UPS for 30 minutes operation
Free tank selection by the user to simplify alarm assignment

Bronx Eats: Tasty, Pocket Sized Gorditas in Mott Haven
It's becoming clearer with every jaunt around these streets that Mott Haven is a—if not the—hub of serious Mexican food in the Bronx. You have the city's most delicious carnitas, the Bronx's best tamales and a seriously savory consome de chivo, a fine panaderia, what is likely the city's only Oaxacan restaurant, a rare antojito, and more. Now we can add the pocket-sized gorditas sold by the window of San Pedro Ay'tec--so new it's still unlisted—on Willis Avenue, just past 138th Street.
The antojitos are for the most part nothing to seek out; though you are blessed with the benefit of freshly made tortillas and masa boats, the cook does not go the extra mile. Her gorditas ($2), however, are a perfectly constructed exception.
Smaller and rounder than many I've encountered, such as the flat ones peddled at the nearby La Morada, her gorditas are stuffed with the lettuce, onion, cheese, salsa, and crumbly, homemade chicharrones.
What separates this gordita from the pack is how well balanced the filling is. It doesn't spill out all over your shirt, nor does it skimp or overload you with the fatty, deep fried pork belly. And it does so in a small, tight package. These are gorditas that are ideal for snacking, especially in summer heat when you don't want or need too much of anything deep fried.
The masa cake itself is crisp and redolent of corn, yielding easily to your bite. A couple bites are necessary before you reach the porky payload, but boy is it worth it: crunchy and salty, the pork melts in your mouth but is far from greasy. These won't contend for title of best in the city, but they're ones we'd be more than happy to return for in a pinch.

I got my black bitch back, Christ she looks wonderful, freshly shod and overhauled she feels brand new. The bill for the service (and extras that I wasn't expecting) was astronomical, so much so that I could justify 60 quid on the new gloves I bought –my credit card is now in rehab.
After a day in the office I shot home with my loved one tucked under my bag and got ready for the evenings romantic engagement. Myfwt, looking beautiful, and I, looking like one of the Corleones, took a cab to Knightsbridge to arrive at the pre-booked venue bang on 8.30. The mood and décor of the place reflected my garb, though the atmosphere was a lot friendlier. We were served champagne before being invited to eat. This was gourmet stuff, small portions of former sea-dwelling creatures, none of your run of the mill swimmers either -caviar, scallops, lobster…et al, skilfully combined with vegetables that had been excellently fucked about with and in most cases reduced to a mere dribble on the plate. Each course came with an explanation, in one ear and out the other after a while, as Myfwt and I drank ourselves potty. The subsequent over indulgence in the Fleurie and the small portions of food resulted in the evening ending on a bum note, but I have no regrets, save the fucking bill.
Friday began with hushed apologies and I got up and set to work on the flat whilst Myfwt nursed the end of her hangover with BBC1's unemployed-offings. When I was last signing-on it was all 'programmes for schools' in the morning, archaic black and white costume dramas and threadbare homemade soaps in the afternoon, perpetually punctuated by lifetimes of dour business news. These days it's all gormless chat, wacky antique features, goofy home improvements, zany property shows with a myriad of time wasting catch-ups in the vast arsehole of digital TV.
I popped on Radio 4 and got on with a good clean, I needed to make the flat as instantly 'this is nice' as possible. This was achieved by dusting, scrubbing, bleaching and re-organising/disposing of various items, Myfwt saved the day by hoovering, a task I despise more than the thought of Hitler and Danny Dwyer enjoying a friendly pint, and virtually impossible as my fucking back had gone all shit. By now it was early evening, it had taken me nearly 7 hours to achieve my aim, I took myself off for a quick pint with Frank and his missus whilst Myfwt opted for a leisurely swim at the gym and we re-convened for a simple supper of Piqued's Prol Pizza.
On Saturday lunchtime an estate agent came round to value my flat, I got what I expected and Myfwt and I went off to see the mortgage bloke who I really must say is a little camp treasure. The rest of the afternoon was spent reading and watching TV, pottering with a smile, essentially, and at 5pm we set off to tread the dubious streets of Woking.
The journey was dreadful. We missed the bloody train and had to wait nearly half an hour on a freezing platform surrounded by swarms of less than pretty Chelsea fans, themselves a world away from the well-heeled streets that surround Sloane Square. The train took an age to arrive at our destination but I'm pleased to say Myfwt friend Penny greeted us with fresh garlic bread, salmon and dill ravioli and wine, of course. It was a lovely evening but I'm less than impressed by Woking, it seems that the younger residents have been hairdressed by a lunatic and their clothing was all a bit too Hollyoaks for my taste. We briefly nipped out to a pub, which was staffed by morons and whose clientele epitomised fake tan, highlights and furious onanism.
Mercifully we went back to Penny's and finished off the evening, and the wine, in comfort before Myfwt and I took a surprisingly soporific and well-timed journey back to London and home to bed.
Sunday was perfectly dozy, just as it should be; we lazed in bed for a good long while with breakfast, tea and telly before being ejected from our pits by sheer restlessness. Myfwt went off for a swim and I did a spot of writing and I hopped on the black bitch for a spin. I popped into Louche's house for cup of coffee and slice of fruitcake on the way home and rode back framed by a shimmering lobster coloured sunset that was distracting to the point of danger. Melancholy has never looked so beautiful, I thought before realising it was Sunday and that my brain was sitting in a cold bath staring at the dripping tap…
When she arrived back Myfwt took on the cooking duties, she made a hearty warm tuna salad and introduced me to Jerusalem artichoke, which I approached with scepticism and, after deciding they were delicious, consumed with alacrity. The evening was spent lazily reading and watching cooking shows on More4, it was a pleasant unremarkable night, as good as it gets when staring into the teeth of a working week.
It's metal Monday…

Today's Hoons — most literally hoons, seeing as they're from down under — prove the fine line between stupidity and genius rests on a few, well-executed 360s (or 720s, as the case may be). Put another way, these downhill racers, whose motor skills are far more developed than those of their chosen vehicle's target demo, know how to use an e-brake the way Marx intended.

This 3-recording home-study bundle discusses three imagery techniques that both integrate and improve a patient's therapeutic success. This home-study bundle is appropriate for psychologists, doctors, therapists and any clinicians currently using or interested in the use of hypnosis & biofeedback for trauma survivors, imagery for an integrative medicine treatment of cancer, and/or mindfulness & biofeedback with their clients in a therapeutic setting. No prior knowledge any of these techniques is required, however individuals with a novice to intermediate experience with any of these methods can still greatly benefit from this package.
The three recordings included in this home-study package are:
Mindfulness and Biofeedback Recording
Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback & Hypnosis for Trauma Webinar Recording
Cancer and Integrative Medicine Recording
At the conclusion of these three home-study recordings, participants will be able to:
- Identify how heart rate variability training facilitates improvement in a hypnosis session and accelerate the counselling process;
- Recognize the difference between the myths and realities of hypnosis and hypnotic trances;
- Understand how the use of imagery for a cancer patient can be predictive of the likelihood of remission.
- Direct and score a cancer imagery exercise.
- Identify how a mindfulness and acceptance approach to therapy can facilitate progress in cases where biofeedback has difficulty.
Read below to learn more about the learning objectives and content of each individual recording that is included in the home-study package:
This 1-hour webinar recording introduces how heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback and hypnosis can be used with clients to heal trauma. The presentation describes how HRV biofeedback is performed via slow, relaxed breathing with the goal of maximizing the difference in heart rate from inhalation to exhalation. Attendees of the session learn how the biofeedback aspects of the intervention seamlessly integrate into the hypnotic induction method, and ultimately lead to accelerated patient progress over the treatment period.
The session presenters are:
Sue Intemann is a licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), board certified and an associate fellow in biofeedback (BCB), and a certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP); and
Maggie Minsk is a licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a nationally certified counselor (NCC), a certified instructor (CI), and a certified hypnotherapist.

Difficult feelings, such as anxiety, sadness, and pain are natural and human and, therefore, normal. And yet, so many of us spend much of our time fighting with our feelings in an attempt to get rid of them. We put tremendous effort toward getting control of our feelings. But as we notice over and over again, it is not possible to control how we feel. So, as a result we end up getting stuck in a futile fight that creates more anxiety, more sadness and more pain. What we need to do is learn to respond to our feelings differently, rather than trying to stop having them.
Mindfulness and biofeedback both offer helpful ways to respond to difficult emotions and physical pain. Mindfulness enables one to pause long enough to choose a response appropriate to the moment. Skills learned through biofeedback are a large part of that chosen response.
In this one-hour webinar recording, Dr. Inna Khazan introduces the concept of mindfulness, and outlines the applications of mindfulness-based skills with biofeedback. The end of the session includes a relaxation induction based on mindfulness principles.

In this 1- hour session recording, Dr. Robert E. McCarthy gives a detailed review and description of the psychophysiological model of cancer growth and regression, disease dimensions, scoring, and imagery exercises that facilitate increased positive responses to cancer treatment. Client examples of imagery are shown to facilitate understanding of good and bad imagery. Part of this presentation includes an introduction to the contemporary view of integrative medicine and the human body, and key works in the field.

If you are performing a stored procedure inside a loop, it is a good idea to unset the variable that mssql_init returns so that you do NOT bind multiple values to the same stored procedure:
foreach($input as $sid=>$value) {
$stmt = mssql_init("sp_doSomething");
mssql_bind($stmt, "@sid", $sid, SQLINT4, false);
mssql_bind($stmt, "@value", $value, SQLINT4, false);
$result = mssql_execute($stmt);
unset($stmt); // <---VERY important
Even doing the mssql_init outside the loop does not help because of the multiple binds happening inside the loop.
Failing to do the above generates "Access Violations...memory cannot be 'written'" errors on the server. My hypothesis is that the error is generated when you try to bind to a stored procedure after it has already been executed. You have been warned.

In fiction, conflict is desire meeting resistance.
Many authors, professional and amateur, confuse bickering with conflict, but unless there is an element of desire, such as one of the characters wanting information that the other doesn't want to give, then there is no conflict, merely disagreement. I learned this particular lesson when writing Light Bringer. I had a lot of historical information I needed to impart, so I had a group of people arguing about various theories in the hope that the scene would seem more immediate, but since there was no compelling desire, just the relatively unimportant desire of the characters wanting to be heard, the dialogue came across as bickering rather than conflict. I kept the sections because they were a more interesting way of presenting the material than a lecture, and they did show the personalities of the characters in a fun and humorous way, but they didn't have the immediacy true conflict would have brought to the piece.
In a novel, there are many conflicts. Characters can be in conflict with each other, they can be in conflict with the environment, they can be in conflict with themselves. As disparate as these conflicts seem, in essence they are the same. Characters want something and someone or something is preventing them from getting it. The greater the forces keeping the characters from fulfilling their desires, the greater the conflict, and hence the greater the tension. Time constraints add urgency to a conflict, and become a source for conflict themselves, as when one character needs (desires) to rescue another before a bomb goes off.
So, to ramp up the conflict in your novel, figure out what your characters want and who or what is keeping them from getting it, show or tell the reader what is a stake (this is very important — if the reader doesn't know what the characters want and doesn't know what is at stake, then the conflict is muted) and then let the characters fight it out. It's as simple as that.
An Excerpt From Light Bringer with Bickering Characters
They barely had time to exchange more than a few words when Philip heard a thundering knock.
"That's Faye." Emery went to let her in.
Faye strode into the living room with all the delicacy of a drill sergeant. "Who's this?" she barked, fixing her gaze on Philip. "Oh, yes. Now I recall. Toothbrush, toothpaste, shaving cream, disposable razors."
Philip recoiled, wondering if this woman in the royal blue, turquoise, and orange dress was crazy, then he remembered she clerked at the grocery store where he'd purchased those very items. "Over-qualified for her job," Emery had told him, "but there aren't a lot of opportunities for an ample woman in her fifties."
He stepped forward. "I'm Philip."
She grabbed his extended hand and pumped it as if trying to draw water. Or blood.
"Glad you could join us," she said.
A brisk rap seemed to catch her attention. She dropped Philip's hand and bellowed, "Go away, you gormless lummox. We don't need your kind here."
"Let me in, you draggle-tailed witch," came a muffled voice from outside.
She opened the door and in walked a sharp-featured man wearing a yellow pullover shirt and plaid golfing pants.
"So how many widows and orphans did you fleece today?" she asked.
"Stupid ostrich! You know I'm retired."
"Now you spend all your time trying to hit defenseless balls and hitting on show ghouls."
He looked down his nose at her. "Show ghouls? That the best you can do? And anyway, Doreen is a sweet girl."
She punched him on the arm.
An elderly, bow-legged man with a face the color and texture of walnut shells pushed past them.
"Gil isn't coming," he said, throwing up his hands.
Faye rolled her eyes. "Always so dramatic, Chester."
Chester lowered his arms. "Aren't you going to ask me why?"
"Oh, all right. Why?"
"He has a meeting with Santero. Santero's selling his antique store."
Faye hooted. "Antiques! Junk's more like it. Broken rocking chairs, moldy patchwork quilts, and dusty canning jars. Who'd buy a place like that?"
"It's a good location," Emery said. "A downtown corner, not far from that monstrosity Luke's remodeling into a bed and breakfast. Must be worth a bundle."
Brian nodded. "The building's in good condition, too — all new plumbing."
"Well, anyway," Faye said, "we don't need Gil. Counting Philip there's six of us."
Philip held up his palms. "I'm not playing."
"Nonsense." She seized him by an arm and dragged him to the table.
He shot a beseeching look at Emery, who merely grinned.
"If he doesn't want to play, he doesn't have to play, you overbearing hag," the golfer said. By process of elimination, Philip decided he must be Scott, the ex-banker.
Faye stuck out her tongue at Scott. "Flush you."

For CNN, MSNBC and other media outlets, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to use the word "teabagging" in a sentence. Teabagging, for those who don't live in a frat house, refers to a sexual act involving part of the male genitalia and a second person's face or mouth.
So when the anti-tax "tea party" protests were held Wednesday across the country, cable anchors and guests -- who for weeks had all but ignored the story -- covered the protests by cracking a litany of barely concealed sexual references.
CNN anchor Anderson Cooper interspersed "teabagging" references with analyst David Gergen's more staid commentary on how Republicans are still "searching for their voice." "It's hard to talk when you're teabagging," Cooper explained. Gergen laughed, but Cooper kept a straight face.
MSNBC's David Shuster weaved a tapestry of "Animal House" humor Monday as he filled in for Countdown host Keith Olbermann. The protests, he explained, amount to "Teabagging day for the right wing and they are going nuts for it."
He described the parties as simultaneously "full-throated" and "toothless," and continued: "They want to give President Obama a strong tongue-lashing and lick government spending." Shuster also noted how the protesters "whipped out" the demonstrations this past weekend.

well, all other DAWs have been fixed, Cubase remains the only one with specific 10.13.4+ issues. I wonder if it also affects Mojave.Martin.Jirsak wrote: ↑Thu Sep 27, 2018 11:07 amHi,
Cubase 9.5.40 must be very close to the release.
The freeze while mixdown is not since macOS sierra 10.13.0 is out. The issue was introduced by Apple with macOS 10.13.4. So it's not a year.
Even Pro Tools is fixed now with 10.13.6, and Avid are slower than anyone.
Logic, Ableton, Reaper, S1.. no specific issues at all.. Just Cubase.
I remember when Steinberg would release a hotfix to something like this.PS i just checked 10.13.4 it's been precisely 6 months for that release, so... still not good enough in my opinion.

Sorry about last week, my brain was broken. It sort of felt like I was letting Jessica Simpson write my blog. If Jessica Simpson had a frontal lobotomy. And then had a stroke robbing her of the powers of speech. And then she got really high. And then somehow we traded brains in a science fiction novel gone horribly, terribly wrong. And THEN she wrote my blog. Although I'm sure that Jessica Simpson is, in reality a lovely and charming woman, never-you-mind some of the things she says.
Moving on.
This week. This week will be better. This week I have at least 0.578% of my brain in good working order (although that's the part of my brain devoted to regular sleep cycles, so perhaps I speak too soon).
My weekend was nice, calm, quiet. Friday was Ben's birthday which meant cake! And then I spent the night at my parents' house to take advantage of hot baths in a claw-foot tub, and sleeping in, and my mom making waffles and bacon on Sunday. And then yesterday I lay down with Gabriel to read him a bedtime story at oh, I'd say 8:15. Then I woke up at midnight, and went to my bed. Then I woke up at 1am, because Gabriel was climbing into my bed. Then I woke up at 2:30 with an unslakeable thirst, and a strong craving for juice. Then I woke up at 3:30 with Gabriel poking at me and demanding juice. Then I woke up at 4:15 to pee, and at 5 to take Gabriel to pee, then at 6 because it was time to start my day. And then I couldn't wake Gabriel up at 6:30 to start his day. Which is pretty typical. And possibly why my brain cells are so rarely able to band together and produce coherent thoughts.
And then this week! I have a four day work week, thanks to good old Independence Day. And I'm taking the 11th and the 18th off, just because I'm awesome, and I have three three-day weekends in a row! Is this heaven? Well. Perhaps...
Okay so maybe Jessica Simpson never actually managed to get her brain back, and maybe this week won't be any better. Sorry!

Sunday Times of Ireland
FATHER James Dempsey was never too keen on the Catholic church's rule on celibacy. Even at the tender age of 18, as he walked towards the seminary, it niggled at him. Went against his nature and instincts.
But he fiercely wanted to be a priest, wanted more than anything to serve God and help people. He thought that wish would be enough. He thought he would learn to accept the vow of celibacy.
He was wrong.
Pottering around his little pub in Cadamstown in Co Offaly, Dempsey makes tea and gets quickly passionate about his subject. "Do you not think it's strange, " he says.
"That the church preaches about intimacy and the importance of married life and family life, and yet it denies all this to the priests?"
There's a minor explosion in the corner, interrupting all conversation. Two tiny people hurtle into the room, followed at a more leisurely pace by a woman wearing an apologetic smile. Dempsey's face breaks into a grin of delighted fascination as he watches his two daughters, Bridget and Norah, fill every second of silence with noise.
His wife, Lila, settles into a seat with an equally content expression. The couple's third child, a baby girl, is sleeping.
"Three children in five years, " Dempsey says proudly.
"Making up for lost time." He pats his wife's knee affectionately, and they share a smile.
James met Lila in Canada in 1998. At that time, having worked as a priest for 20 years, James was desperately struggling with the celibacy rule. " I was finding it very hard, " he says. "The loneliness and the isolation, and as you get older it gets worse, not better, " he pauses, and his voice pleads for understanding.
"We all need to be hugged, " he says. "We all need to be held and cared for, and have a companion in our lives. At the end of every long day, a priest is totally alone. Who is the pastor's pastor?"
It was to resolve these issues within himself that Dempsey had taken a sabbatical in 1996/97. He returned to Ireland, and spent some time running the family pub in Cadamstown before returning to his parish in Canada.
"I went back but I was still very uneasy, " he says. "Not about the priesthood, I loved what the priesthood was all about. But I was just getting more isolated and disillusioned. I think most people want to find their significant other and have a relationship. And I wanted that. I craved it."
It was in this frame of mind that James met Lila, who was instantly drawn to him.
"I walked into my sister's kitchen, and saw this guy in a Van Morrison t-shirt and shorts and sandals, and he introduced himself to me as 'Fr Jimmy', " she says, grinning broadly at the memory.
"We hit it off straight away, and I remember thinking, 'There's someone I'd like to meet again.'
"But it never once occurred to me that he was a potential boyfriend. I mean, he was a priest."
The pair became fast friends, phoning each other, meeting each other, occasionally going out together.
Their relationship was intense, but platonic. Then James decided to move back to Ireland. "I missed him so much, " says Lila, her hand straying unconciously to her heart. "When I realised how much it hurt to have him leave, I knew I must be in love with him."
They talked on the phone for hours. They admitted their feelings for each other.
And then they made a decision.
In 2000, James wrote his letter of resignation to the Bishop, and Lila broke the news to her staunchly Catholic family. The couple were married immediately in a tiny ceremony in Canada by another 'ex-cleric' who had left the priesthood to marry a nun.
"My mother told me it was the biggest disappointment of her life, " says Lila, her voice trembling a little. "Everyone in my family told me that she was never going to accept this.
"I remember when I told her I was pregnant with my first child and she said, 'That's the worst news I've ever heard.'" Lila pauses, her eyes filling quickly with tears as if she's just hurt herself unexpectedly. Five years later, the shock and pain are still fresh.
In Ireland, the couple were given a warmer welcome.
James's mother was initially distraught, but has since accepted the marriage. For the residents of Cadamstown, a married priest posed no problems.
"The people who celebrated my ordination here in 1982 celebrated my marriage with me in 2000, " says James. "I think if I was to say mass in the morning, the vast majority of people would just be happy to have a priest. At the moment, we have only one priest in this parish. One priest, and four churches.
The man is run off his feet, and I'm sitting here, aching to serve the church, and not allowed to do so."
"We need to change from within. The church is the people. Not the popes, not the bishops, not the priests.
Change will only come if the people stand up and say, 'No, we're not going to accept this any more.' I believe with all my heart that God called me to be a priest and I refuse to say that my vocation was a mistake."
James stops for a second, just time enough to ask if he would still think of himself as a priest. He bristles slightly.
"Of course, " he says. "I'm not an ex-priest. I'm an excleric. I'm still ordained, I'm still a priest. Some people won't accept that. I remember somone once said I was a 'defrocked priest'. Defrocked, " he laughs. "I never even wore a frock. Not my style."
1st century: St Peter, the first pope, was married, as were most of the apostles.
4th century: In 306, it is decided that a priest should not sleep with his wife the night before mass. In 325, it is decreed that a priest cannot marry after ordination. In 385, Pope Siricius (LEFT) leaves his wife to become pope. It is decreed that priests may no longer sleep with their wives.
5th century: St Augustine writes on the dangers of women - "Nothing is so powerful in drawing the spirit of a man downwards as the caresses of a woman."
6th century: Pope Gregory says that all sexual desire is sinful.
7th century:
Majority of priests are still married.
11th century: Pope Gregory VII says that anyone to be ordained must first pledge celibacy . . . "priests [must] first escape from the clutches of their wives".
12th century: Pope Calistus II decrees that clerical marriages are invalid.
16th century: Council of Trent states that celibacy and virginity are superior to marriage.
20th century: In 1930 Pope Pius XI says that sex can be good and holy. In 1980 married Anglican/Episcopal pastors are ordained as Catholic priests in the US. In 1994, this trend spreads to Canada and Britain.

This is very close to the Coffee Potato Sourdough I posted last week but I replaced the coffee with water and replaced the cheese powder with a mix of shaved Asiaggo and Parmesan cheeses and bumped up the percentage greatly. I also eliminated the balsamic vinegar and added some garlic infused olive oil.
The end result was a bread that was even tastier than the last with a nice open crumb and chock full of cheesy goodness. I highly recommend you try this one as it makes great sandwich bread and grilled bread as well.
Levain Directions
Mix all the levain ingredients together for about 1 minute and cover with plastic wrap. Let it sit at room temperature for around 7-8 hours or until the starter has doubled. I usually do this the night before.
Either use in the main dough immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 day before using.
Main Dough Procedure
Mix the flours, and 350 grams of the coffee together in your mixer or by hand until it just starts to come together, maybe about 1 minute. Let it rest in your work bowl covered for 20-30 minutes. Next add the salt, starter (cut into about 7-8 pieces), and the rest of the ingredients and mix on low for a minute. Next add the rest of the coffee unless the dough is way too wet. Mix on low-speed for another 4 minutes. Remove the dough from your bowl and place it in a lightly oiled bowl or work surface and do several stretch and folds. Let it rest covered for 10-15 minutes and then do another stretch and fold. Let it rest another 10-15 minutes and do one additional stretch and fold. After a total of 2 hours place your covered bowl in the refrigerator and let it rest for 12 to 24 hours.
When you are ready to bake remove the bowl from the refrigerator and let it set out at room temperature still covered for 1.5 to 2 hours. Remove the dough and shape as desired. I made 1 large loaf using a cloth covered Good Will find. Place your dough into your proofing basket(s) and cover with a moist tea towel or plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray.
The dough will take 1.5 to 2 hours depending on your room temperature. Let the dough dictate when it is ready to bake not the clock.
Around 45 minutes before you are ready to bake, pre-heat your oven to 500 degrees F. and prepare it for steam. I have a heavy-duty baking pan on the bottom rack of my oven with 1 baking stone on a shelf above the pan and one on the top shelf.
Right before you are ready to put them in the oven, score as desired and then add 1 cup of boiling water to your steam pan or follow your own steam procedure.
After 1 minute lower the temperature to 450 degrees. Bake for 35-50 minutes until the crust is nice and brown and the internal temperature of the bread is 205 degrees.
Take the bread out of the oven when done and let it cool on a bakers rack before for at least 2 hours before eating.

Two new bouts are official for September's DREAM.17 event.
In a non-title fight, DREAM lightweight champ Shinya Aoki (28-5 MMA, 12-2 DREAM) takes on former WEC titleholder "Razor" Rob McCullough (19-7 MMA, 0-0 DREAM), and in another lightweight contest, ex-Sengoku champ Satoru Kitaoka (28-10-9 MMA, 0-0 DREAM) meets recent UFC fighter Willamy "Chiquerim" Freire (18-4 MMA, 0-0 DREAM).
DREAM.17 takes place Sept. 24 at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
No North-American broadcast plans have been announced for the show.
Aoki looks for his sixth straight victory and ninth win in his past 10 fights. The Japanese star won the DREAM belt with a submission victory over Joachim Hansen nearly two years ago. He later made a successful title defense with a submission win over Tatsuya Kawajiri. However, after a few non-title fights, he now makes his fifth straight appearance without the belt being on the line (though some of the bouts took place in outside organizations, such as Strikeforce and DEEP).
After a career-best nine-fight win streak that included a short reign as the WEC champ, McCullough is 4-4 since. He fought twice in 2010 with Tachi Palace Fights victories over Isaac DeJesus and Corey Hill. But in his lone fight of 2011, he suffered a TKO loss to Patricky Freire at Bellator 36.
Kitaoka, meanwhile, makes his promotional debut after a seven-fight run with World Victory Road's seemingly defunct Sengoku event series. After closing out his Sengoku career with back-to-back losses to Mizuto Hirota (title loss) and Jorge Masvidal, he now looks for his fourth straight win in outside organization. Most recently, he earned a decision victory over Jutaro Nakao at DEEP 53.
Freire, meanwhile, recently saw his four-year, 11-fight win streak come to an end with a unanimous-decision loss to Waylon Lowe at UFC Fight Night 23. Surprisingly, UFC officials released the Brazilian after the January loss. He then signed with DREAM and was slated to fight Aoki in May, but visa issues kept him out of the country.

Deal or no deal? We warned yesterday that the bipartisan Senate agreement to stabilize Obamacare wasn't a sure thing, but the questions about its viability have only multiplied since then as President Trump has injected additional confusion into the negotiations. After initially announcing his support for the deal negotiated by Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Patty Murray (D-WA), President Trump on Wednesday seemed to send a very different signal, tweeting:
Trump's confusing turn came after conservatives "flooded the White House with concerned calls and messages Tuesday night," CNN reported. Conservative groups including FreedomWorks and Club for Growth say they oppose the deal.
House Speaker Paul Ryan also expressed opposition to the deal as currently written, and Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) also came out against it, while Sen. John Thune reportedly said the fix has "stalled out."
But has it? Alexander tweeted that his agreement includes "strong language" to make sure that the government's subsidy payments benefit consumers and not insurance companies and that he'll work with Trump "to see if we can make it even stronger." Meanwhile, other senators are lining up to co-sponsor the bill or floating changes to it.
The bottom line: Right now, the prospects of a deal are clouded by confusion over Trump's position. "For both sides, the president's conflicting signals have created a chaotic situation where even some of Trump's aides have found themselves scrambling to keep up with the latest developments," The Washington Post reported. Even if Alexander and Murray can win enough votes to pass the bill, it's not clear if Ryan or Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will allow a vote. "It would be all but impossible for Republicans lawmakers to support the deal — let alone bring it up for a vote in the House or Senate — without Trump's endorsement," Politico's Jennifer Haberkorn says.
Where it might all end up: Rick Weissenstein, an analyst at Cowen Washington Research Group, said that while the bill could be delayed, it could also end up being included in a larger funding measure at the end of the year, according to Business Insider. "In December, the government will run out of money, and no bill to keep it funded can pass without Democratic votes," The New York Times reports. "At that point, supporters of the Alexander-Murray measure can insist on its inclusion in any spending bill and threaten to shut down the government if they do not prevail."

It seems Jon Gosselin is not the only man who despises Kate Gosselin these days.
Actor Eric Roberts, who is set to appear on the upcoming season of Celebrity Rehab, recently exploded on the Kate Plus 8 mom on his twitter page, even calling her a "child abuser."
"I know she's fading from the news, but hopefully someone's still got their eye on the wellbeing[sic] of her kids. Kate Gosselin is a child abuser," Eric wrote before expanding on his opinion this weekend in an interview with the Small Town Gosselins blog. Excerpts from Eric's interview below –
Small Town Gosselins: Your tweet about Kate Gosselin was quite passionate. What exactly precipitated it?
Eric: Simple, really. Thank goodness there is footage of Gosselin hitting her kids, and apparently feeling fine about it. I say thank goodness, because behind closed doors makes it that much tougher to stop… This trend to document life as it happens, and to have the documentation studied by strangers, is not going away any time soon. I don't think it's inherently bad. I think the Gosselin kids' private lives are their problem, not the fact that their private lives are public. They have an awful mother, and a father who doesn't stop her.
STG: TLC states that it has earned $200 million in the past five years from Gosselin-related shows. TV Guide reports that Kate Gosselin is paid $250,000 per episode. The eight children split 15% of that income, so each child gets 1.875% while the mother gets 85%. Comments?
Eric: The number of kids Kate and Jon have are the reason Kate and John have money. It would be awful if financial stress was added to those kids' problems. But the money should be divided 10 ways.
STG: Jon Gosselin has stated emphatically that he does not want his children to be filmed anymore, that they have said they don't want to do it, and that they are now having behavioral problems as a result of having grown up in front of the cameras. Yet Kate Gosselin refuses to stop the filming. What do you think this is all about?
Eric: I think Jon is being unrealistic. How is that family going to live? The kids could have a great time doing the show if their mom wasn't a cruel horror who is clearly repeating generational abuse. Jon's got his eye on the wrong ball. The kids, however, should not be forced to do anything.
STG: Do you feel differently about the Kate Gosselin than you do other reality TV parents, and if so, why?
Eric: Can't stand Kate. Most of the other reality TV parents seem gentle and loving. I have a feeling David Charvet's wife, Brooke, isn't all that nice either, unfortunately.
STG: What advice would you give Kate Gosselin, and why?
Eric: My advice to Kate Gosselin would be to get out of denial and receive anger management with Dr. Richard Green in Woodland Hills, California. Next time she feels herself lifting a hand to harm one of her children, she should instead make a call to her local 12-step program. Those programs help with patterns of violence, among the more expected things they treat.
STG: What advice would you give her children?
Eric: I would want the Gosselin kids to know that their parents' rage is not their fault, and to please do therapy to keep themselves from continuing the pattern.
STG: Advice to Jon?
Eric: Make a legally binding arrangement whereby Kate loses her financial security any time she hits those kids. She's playing the role of good mom. When she stops playing the role as it's written, she should be fired.

Toronto – The Toronto Rock (10-5) defeated the Rochester Knighthawks (6-7) by a score of 10-9 at Air Canada Centre on Sunday afternoon. The Rock clinched the East Division title and home floor advantage throughout the divisional playoffs without the services of captain Colin Doyle who was at his wife's side as she gave birth to the couple's third child, another girl for the Doyle family.
The Rock stormed out of the gate building a 3-0 lead just past the midway point of the opening quarter. Rochester would get their offence going, but the Rock also kept things rolling and led 5-3 after 15 minutes on the strength of a pair of goals from Garrett Billings.
The two teams traded goals in the early going of the second quarter and that would be all the scoring until Toronto's Josh Sanderson scored with less than 2 minutes remaining in the half and to give the Rock a 7-4 lead.
Rochester chipped away at the Rock lead in the third quarter outscoring the Rock 2-1 in a tightly contested frame. The Rock still led, but now by just a pair, 8-6 after three quarters.
Toronto scored the first two goals of the final quarter to build a 10-7 lead early. Rochester answered back with one and then Dan Dawson scored with just over a minute to go with the goalie pulled to make it a one-goal game at 10-9 in favour of the Rock. That was as close as Rochester could get despite a couple of great opportunities in the final minute.
Kasey Beirnes (3 goals, 3 assists) and Garrett Billings (2 goals, 4 assists) each had 6-point games to lead the Rock scoring parade.
The Rock will wrap up their 2013 regular season schedule next Saturday, April 13th in Philadelphia against the Wings. The game will be broadcast live on CBS Sports Network at 4:30pm ET. For the best ticket in town, visit www.torontorock.com or call 416-596-3075.

1599 Geneva Bible
| Bonded Leather
| Bonded Leather
When the Pilgrims arrived in America in 1620, they brought along supplies, a consuming passion to advance the Kingdom of Christ, a bright hope for the future, and the Word of God. Clearly, their most precious cargo was the Bible. Have you ever wondered what version of the Bible the Pilgrims brought to America on the Mayflower? Believe it or not, it was not the King James Version of 1611. It was actually the 1599 Geneva Bible a forgotten yet priceless treasure.
The Geneva Bible, printed over 200 times between 1560 and 1644, was the most widely read and influential English Bible of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This superb translation was the product of the best Protestant scholars of the day and became the Bible of choice for many of the greatest writers, thinkers, and historical figures of that time. Men such as Shakespeare, John Bunyan, and John Milton used the Geneva Bible, and it was reflected in their writings. During the English Civil War, Oliver Cromwell issued a pamphlet containing excerpts from the Geneva Bible to his troops. William Bradford cited the Geneva Bible in his book Of Plymouth Plantation.
The Geneva Bible is unique among all other Bibles. It was the first Bible to use chapters and numbered verses and became the most popular version of its time because of the extensive marginal notes. These notes, written by Reformation leaders such as John Calvin, John Knox, Miles Coverdale, William Whittingham, Anthony Gilby, and others, were included to explain and interpret the scriptures for the common people.
For nearly half a century these notes helped the people of England, Scotland, and Ireland understand the Bible and true liberty. King James despised the Geneva Bible because he considered the notes on key political texts to be seditious and a threat to his authority. Unlike the King James Version, the Geneva Bible was not authorized by the government. It was truly a Bible by the people and for the people. You can see why this remarkable version with its profound marginal notes played a key role in the formation of the American Republic.
SPECIFICATIONS: • Word-for-word accuracy with the 1599 Geneva Bible • Original cross references • Modern spelling • Original study notes by Reformers • Old English Glossary • 8pt. font size • Size: 6.5 x 9.5 • Bonded Leather (Black) • Approx: 1,400 pages • Printed in the USA

The curious case of the Palestinian holding onto his land inside an Israeli settlement
The Palestine Monitor

In the Salfit District of the West Bank, Palestine Monitor spoke with Hani Amer, known commonly as Abu-Nidal, a Palestinian man living within the illegal settlement Elkana, in Mas'ha Village. His home is surrounded by barbed wire and is just steps away from the separation wall and the rest of his village. Sitting outside on the porch swing with his 2-year-old grandson, Abu-Nidal spoke about his life living and resisting within the illegal settlement.
Abu-Nidal is a native of Kufr Qasim, a city 6 kilometers east of the Green Line. After 1948, approximately 70% of the town was annexed by Israel, with Palestinians having to take refuge in Mas'ha. Following the shooting of his grandfather by Israeli forces, Abu-Nidal's family also relocated to Mas'ha.
In 1973 Abu-Nidal bought property in Mas'ha and built a home for him and his family. Abu-Nidal is father to four boys and two girls and continues to live in this house with his wife, Monira.
In 1975 the illegal settlement of Elkana was built, attracting settlers to the area. Like most settlements, Elkana began as a small outpost.
Abu-Nidal recalls how the settlers were very kind to him and his family in the beginning; "they were great, like angels".
However, as the settlement grew and obtained power within the region the settlers became aggressive and violent towards him and his family. Him and his family felt that the environment became increasingly unsafe as settlers would threaten and intimidate them with rifles whilst often attacking the home with stones.
Abu-Nidal did not own a key to enter the settlement, but instead had to rely on Israeli forces to open the door for him. Twice a day they would let him in and out: once in the morning while he left to work, and again when he returned. This procedure became increasingly dangerous as the settlement grew. He and his children were often harassed whilst waiting for the gate to be opened for them –especially for his children coming in and out from school. As the situation worsened, many organizations put pressure on the council of Elkana to give Abu-Nidal his own key, which he finally received after many years of dependence on the Israeli military.
Abu-Nidal recalled an incident from a number of years ago where approximately eighteen settlers came to his home, all of them armed, and threatened him to leave or -as they said- they would kill him. Parts of his home have been demolished, and many of his crops burnt and land taken away to accommodate the construction of the separation wall. In most recent years it has been calmer and less incidents have occurred, but Abu-Nidal noted that "there is never peace here, you never know when something can happen".
Abu-Nidal reached out to a number of international organizations who expressed interest in learning about his situation. Organizations like the United Nations (UN), the United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA), the Red Cross, and the Palestinian Authority (PA) often sent representatives to observe the situation and report back.
Abu-Nidal would also report incidents of violence to the Palestinian Authority in the hopes of receiving assistance.
Initially these organizations would support him through speaking with the local stakeholders of the settlement and putting pressure on them to intervene in order to alleviate the violence suffered by Abu-Nidal and his family.
However, over time international support began to decrease as people became less interested in his "story". Abu-Nidal explains his life within the settlement is not a story but is his reality of living under occupation, like most Palestinians. He spoke about how organizations used his situation as an opportunity to gain sympathy through his circumstances.
Abu-Nidal has been offered financial incentive by both the Palestinian Authority and Israel to leave his land and his home and be relocated to the USA all expenses paid and including a visa. However, he declines time after time, declaring "I can go to America and not pay a single shekel, but I am not interested."
Abu-Nidal works on his land outside the settlement, and makes his living tending to his crops and animals, he stated that numerous times the settlers have found where his land is and destroyed his crops. His motivation to stay throughout the sabotage and harassment, was that he finds solace in believing in the holiness of the land of Palestine. "Mohamed has walked on this land, Jesus has walked on this land, Mary has walked on this land," he explained, "Allah loves this land… life here is hard, but it's beautiful at the same time. One does not leave it."
Palestine Monitor asked Abu-Nidal what aside from his religiosity keeps him resisting despite the daily struggle of being barricaded and constant settler aggression. He responded, "This is my land and my life. I take care of my land and my home. I work on my land with the sheep, goats, chickens and trees. I know my land," he stated. "I understand all the money in the world, I know what it can buy, I see what people have and how they live, but I tell them I will not leave for any amount".
Despite the hostile and life threatening living conditions, Abu-Nidal and Monira have raised a family and resisted against settler violence for over twenty years. Although all six of their children are now married and moved out, Abu-Nidal stated that he hopes his children will continue resisting and keep this home as a symbol of survival to be passed down.

Rangers lose Soto for three weeks after surgery
Competing with Arencibia, veteran catcher has bone removed from left ankle
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Rangers catcher Geovany Soto is expected to be sidelined for three weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery Saturday morning to remove a bone in his left ankle.
The os trigonum bone was putting pressure on the flexor tendon in the ankle and causing the discomfort he was experiencing lately. The tendon controls the movement of the toes.
The surgery was done by Dr. John Crates in Plano, Texas. Soto could have put the surgery off and continued playing by getting periodic injections. But by getting the surgery done now, there is a good chance he'll be back for some Spring Training games.
"Once his sutures are taken out in 10 days, he should be able to resume baseball activities," assistant general manager Thad Levine said.
If Soto is ready in three weeks, he should have two weeks to prepare for Opening Day. He entered camp as the No. 1 catcher, but the Rangers also signed J.P. Arencibia to be his backup. Arencibia spent the past three seasons as the Blue Jays' starting catcher.
"As far as Opening Day, we are hoping the answer is yes," Levine said. "If he's ready to carry the starter's load remains to be seen. We have a sense of security with J.P. Arencibia that he is capable of carrying that starting load.
The Rangers are left with three other catchers in camp besides Arencibia. Robinson Chirinos is the third catcher on the 40-man roster, while Jose Felix and Brett Nicholas are among the non-roster invites. But the Rangers have plenty of catchers in their Minor League clubhouse to help carry the load through the spring.
"We'll just continue to use what we have in camp," manager Ron Washington said. "We'll see how things develop. As we move forward, Arencibia will get the bulk of it right now."
