Building a Basil Economy
By Danny Mayer
I first started eating grits last summer while seeking out breakfast options at Wine+Market. Up to that time, my $5 purchase of eggs, either from the farmer's market or at Wine+Market, provided the basis for many of my breakfasts.
The W+M grits purchase was something of a calculated risk for me. I had developed strong negative associations with the grain ever since a series of conversations with my childhood friend Jeffrey Bollerman. Jeff was part of the Jessie F. George School gang in New Jersey that I hung out with up through fourth grade when I left for Charlotte, North Carolina. At 10, Jeff was already worldly traveled, having once spent a week in the far-away sticks in South Carolina at a place he called Hilton Head, a town so backward, he claimed, that many of the roads were dirt and the only thing to eat there were these things called grits.
"Grits. Nothing but grits," was all he would say to me, arms akimbo and face still incredulous, for the last four months I would ever see him. I was mortified.
As I got older, my disdain for grits, which was really based in a general northern-based youthful fear and dislike of most things southern, did begin to wan. I went to a southern college,married a girl from South Georgia. After a number of high school and college years spent eating at Waffle House, not to mention a good deal of reading about and cooking food, I came to understand that grits were more accurately a lower-class southern cuisine, a part of both poor white and black culinary traditions. Field food. I liked them, sort of.
My intellectual attraction to grits did not really alter my psycho-somatic dislike of the homely grain. Bollerman's southern gothic imagination still had a strong hold on me. A one-night experiment while in college with Waffle House's bland bowl of cheap grits was all it took to convince me that the grain just wasn't worth its price in salt and butter. My body told me: if you're going cheap, get the bacon.
But as I continued to read and cook, I grew to resent it when grits began to appear, often for an outsized non-homely price, on foodie menus throughout the South (and particularly in Charleston, SC, where I lived before moving to Lexington), often accompanied with something like shrimp and heavy portions of nice cheddar cheeses to justify the inflated price. I resented seeing rich clientèle inflating the value of grits, good grits. I resented that I noticed the stark class-based polarity in grit consumption, that they either cost $13 and (presumably) were good, or that they were $2 and overly bland and buttery. Until I went in search of breakfast grocery items at W+M, grits as a viable food option had never seriously crossed my mind. You could say I was forced into it: culinary desire by creative downsizing.
My first sack
A month before my first grits purchase I had dropped $10 at W+M on a big sack of Weisenburger corn meal, most likely inspired by the corn bread dinners I'd heard about at the home of Rona Roberts and Steve Kay. I never quite got my money out of that sack—I made very little corn bread last summer—but it did pave the way for my rethinking of the Bollerman prophecies and dropping $7.95 at the store to test a different Weisenburger grain, their yellow grits. The purchase was, at the outset, derived from my intention to bend my desires to fit what the store offered—and not to head off to larger stores where my selections of breakfast foods would be greatly expanded. Call it learning by downsizing.
And what a great learning experience it's been. Grits are great, easy and quick to cook, not to mention immensely versatile in the kitchen. In winter, when my mornings are more hectic and I desire a quickly-made food to coat my stomach and provide warmth and energy during the frigid 3-mile walk to BCTC's campus, I can make an early-morning bowl of cheese grits using milk in about 10 minutes. In summer, when I do not teach and have more time on my hands, I use water instead of milk and herbs instead of cheese, and spend 30 minutes to an hour cooking it down as a late-morning brunch, often forgetting about it as I set about folding clothes in the bedroom, organizing my mess of an office, doing last night's dishes or gathering produce from our garden. I simply keep adding water to the grits and occasionally stir until I finish doing whatever it is that I'm doing. A stoner with strong ADD tendencies, even I can't burn this shit.
Grits economics
Of course, finding a food to suit my psycho-social make-up is one thing, being able to afford it on a regular basis is quite another. At its most simple, grits only require water, a small cooking pot and, for taste, a little salt and/or pepper. My $8 purchase of grits nets me about 15 meals. The basis of the meal, then, costs around 50 cents.
To be sure, the inherent flexibility of grits means that I normally add other things depending on my mood and the season. Herbs, onions and garlic, for me virtually free items grown in my garden, are choice in summer (and keep my costs down). In the winter, I add the expense of cheese grated from either pecorino or cheddar cheese hunks I purchase at W+M. Though I don't buy cheese solely for its use in grits, I'd conservatively estimate that 15 meals of cheese grits would cost another $15 at W+M, bringing the total food cost for cheese grits, a filling and tasty breakfast if there ever was one, to close to $1.50 per meal. Both cheese hunks and grits store for a long time, only increasing their flexibility in the kitchen.
The economics of the meal allow me to do two things. First, I am able to buy my grits from Wine+Market even though they cost more here, meaning I don't have to deal with an out-of-the-way trip to Kroger or the Co-Op. Second, the cheapness of grits allows me to buy Weisenburger products, a locally sourced company from Midway that offers a variety of flours and grains.
I buy Weisenburger because first because it's what's available at Wine+Market. But buying Weisenberger also helps my money stay closer to its source than, say, the cheaper (and more bland) Quaker Oats variety found on the shelves of Kroger (nearby their Weisenburger offerings).
I also prefer Weisenberger out of a general desire to maintain regional cooking. I used to spend time watching well-paid globe-trotting chefs at the Food Network take trips to unique sections of Italy, and I used to pore through travel magazines that waxed poetic about expensive restaurants who hocked different regional cuisines for many a scheckel. At some point I realized that the very term that I enjoyed, regional cuisine, had arisen through limited choices—a type of flour, a sort of salt, a type of grape or potato grown or easily procured nearby. At its base, regional food is peastant food, the very word, regional, implying a sense of limits that the rich–myself included–have rarely abided by.
I choose Weisenburger flours and grains, much like I travel to Wine+Market, in part to help foster an emplaced taste to what I eat. I make do with what's available and possible. I believe there are beneficial social repercussions to this orientation, though that's a topic for another article.
A grits and chorizo recipe
My go-to grits meal for this season has been, unquestionably, grits and chorizo.
I use Palacio's Chorizo, a slightly-processed chorizo from Spain that I purchase because it is conveniently sold at W+M for $10 a packet. I've come to value Palacio's because like grits it too is versatile. It can stay in my fridge for many weeks without going bad, which has allowed me to think of different ways to incorporate small hunks of the spicy meat into a variety of dishes I cook—breakfast, lunch and dinner. I normally get between 5 and 6 servings out of it when using it solely for chorizo, or somewhere close to 2 ounces of chorizo per meal. The reduced size helps me limit my meat intake. Counting the chorizo cost into my grits, the breakfast costs around $2.50.
Of course, one doesn't have to purchase their grits and chorizo from Wine+Market; the taqueria and grocery store nearby me on Seventh and Maple, for example, has a cheaper chorizo, a mexican style oddly made in the USA, that comes as an unprocessed raw meat. It can't stay in the fridge as long as Palacio's, and its texture is more like ground beef than salami; however, the mexican-style chorizo more intensely flavors the grits, a good thing for those who cook for many people. Blue Moon Garlic at the Farmer's Market also sells a local chorizo, in links, that should work similar to the mexican chorizo, though I haven't tried this as I normally purchase brats instead from Blue Moon ($6 for 4 brats that, with bread and mustard, comprise the basis for four solid summer lunch meals).
All these options work, and importantly, all are available to a wide diversity of urban and sub-urban shoppers—different classes, life-schedules and geographical locations around the city's inner-suburban core—if only we shoppers make the effort.

Hi folks ( Neither I or a moderator could find the existing topic for the future of this ride so I saw it as a perfect opportunity to share my ideas for this ride and start a new discussion.)
I have been considering many ideas for a re-theme of the existing Charlie And The Chocolate Factory ride at The Alton Towers Resort hence me creating this topic. I started contemplating more modern IP ideas but I finally settled on an idea after the announcement of The Enchanted Village Accommodation development. I don't think it would be too out of place in the current setting of Cloud Cuckoo Land and I feel it could fit in perfectly without the need of a widespread Re-theme of the area. My idea would circulate around the theme of "The Alton Brook" which would be in an enchanted village and that flows through Cloud Cuckoo Land taking you on a journey full of secrets and beauty. I thought the visual aesthetics could follow the rich rustic look that the Peter Rabbit Rooms adopt in the Alton Towers Hotel that can be viewed in this link;http://www.altontowers.com/hotels/alton-towers-hotel/themed-rooms/. The exterior of the ride would include a stone enchanted castle which would include both 3D and 2D theming to give a more dynamic look to the building. Exterior theming could include; Ivy, a waterwheel, Castle parapets, bright colours and cottage like facades. This theming would hopefully give a more fairy-tale look to the show building while being in-keeping with the exuberant colours of Cloud Cuckoo Land. The interior would have multiple areas that would tell a story rather than just represent different scenes and could roughly follow a running order like this;
Scene 1) The boat would start in a room which is currently taken up by the machines and plants of The factory. This room would be made to look like the interior of a cosy stone cottage/ castle and would have a fairy-tale style book narrating the scene and turning it's pages seemingly by magic. Other elements in this room would include; cottage beams, a fire and items such as rocking chairs. This room would act as a pre-show room and the start of the story. The transitional tunnel to the next scene would be dark and take the form of tree roots with projected "sparkles" rotating inside the tunnel.
Scene 2) This scene would be where the inventing room and Violet currently are. This room would include many detailed and quaint cottage facades to create the appearance of passing through the pretty village of Alton and would work in the same way as a standard yet detailed pantomime set. This room could also include; foliage, plants, a mill and a water wheel( A water wheel already exists in this area). This simple fairy-tale like theming could easily create the effect of a small village in which the brook passes through. This area would end slightly before the section where blue strobes and water effects are currently used and would transition into the next scene.
Scene 3) This scene would be in the area where the Blue strobes and water effects are currently used. This scene would use lots of fairy-tale style branches and tree's to create a creepy forest atmosphere. Other theming in this scene could include gentle strobe lighting, lightning and thunder effects and a partially hidden animatronic of a hag similar to that of The Wicked Witch. The narration would tell everyone on-board they need to think magical thoughts to escape the hag and the "Evil Forest". A shimmering light would then shine and the boat would proceed to the next scene which would take place in The Mirror/Nut Room.
Scene 4) This scene would now enter the space currently occupied by "The Nut Room". This scene would include a much brighter forest and would show the wildlife varieties alongside the brook. The room would be full of foliage, burrows and trees in which animatronic versions of animals such as; voles, rabbits, birds and foxes can be seen darting around and flapping overhead. This effect would be achieved with fairy-tale type trees and warm light effects to represent a typical yet magical meadow/forest. This area could also use a small cottage hidden amongst the foliage with shadows of people in the windows. At the end of the forest before you exit the ride into the Glass elevator there would be a themed façade representing you arriving back into the village once again.
Scene 5) Scene 5 would be in the space currently occupied by the Glass Elevator and would use the same system and the screens would show the village previously seen before departure. Before this part of the ride starts you would be informed by a narrator that on your journey you left the storybook that guided you along your journey somewhere along the way and you must find it. The narrator would then explain the magic will allow you to fly above the brook for a better view. The whole elevator would then shimmer as if a spell had been cast and the elevator would then activate using a new updated video showing you diving in and out of rabbit burrows and other previously visited scenes such as the "Evil Forest" and "The Meadow". The final scene in the "lift" aspect of the ride would show the book floating in the brook and the "lift" splashing down into the water and floating back into the village where you started. With the book found you are allowed to depart and contemplate the magical brook and the places it took you.
I feel this would add an original and magical dark ride to Alton Towers and would fit in with the Fairy-tale lodge development. I hope you like this idea and I would love to hear your response to this ride idea and your ideas also

Observation date: 18 April 2014
Just an update on the nesting Canada geese near the Shell Beach peregrine falcon's eyrie. Of the six eggs, five have hatched. The next morning the adults left the cliffside nest to the beach and ocean surf 50 feet below. Two of the five followed right after the parents; the other three took their time getting up their courage. Eventually, the other three took their instinctual leap. An hour later, two were spotted lying lifeless on the shoreline, while the other three were seen following the two adults down the beach. You wonder what it is that says to a one day old gosling, "Jump off this 50 foot cliff or you will die if you stay in this warm cozy nest.
First day and instinct leads the way

Of course I fell in love with the Amour stamp set and its lovely Eiffel Tower! After browsing Pinterest, I came up with the idea of a pie/cake box Eiffel Tower gift box. What do you think?
Aren't you the clever gal! I share your love of most things French, so think this is tres bien...even if it is empty!
That is really cute. Lends itself perfectly to the Eiffel Tower stamp! I like the flourishes in the grass, too.

Cockburn Sound Fish Kill: "Bloom Was Not Evident," Industrial Contaminants Ignored
An investigation by Rotunda Media.
By Jonathon Davidson
New documents obtained under the FOI act by Rotunda Media reveal staff within the Water and Fisheries Departments knew there was no solid proof of an algae bloom being involved in the November 2015 Cockburn Sound fish kill.
In a written response to questions sent to the Department of Fisheries, Dr. Mike Snow, an aquatic scientist, acknowledged there was no proof of an algae bloom during the fish kill event last year in the Cockburn Sound.
"Although a general bloom was not evident in this case please find additional information which highlights potential contributing factors to blooms," he wrote.
Attached was an illustration highlighting how stagnant waters, decay of algae bloom (leading to reduced oxygen) and low oxygen levels overall all caused the fish kill.
It had not rained between the 18th and 23rd of November 2015, making claims about rainfall invalid.
I have said all this to Department of Fisheries. They have refused to answer me anymore, saying it is a DER issue.
Dissolved oxygen levels and high temperatures were not likely to have caused a bloom in November of 2015, either, according to obtained water data from the period.
Both factors were also indicated as likely causes of the bloom in the controversial Department of Fisheries official report into the fish kill last year.
The conclusion that algae bloom caused the fish kill event is not supported by laboratory evidence or internal emails from the period.
Obtained documents from the Health, Water and Fisheries departments also show that the presence of industrial contaminants in fish samples were ignored.
One obtained email reveals that a scientist working within the Department of Agriculture was contacted and requested to give an independent review of water samples.
"The stomach content level for phosphorous seemed to be well above what you might expect, but there are no reports of a bloom in the Sound (?) [sic]," their email read.
Copies of additional emails obtained under FOI reveal that algae bloom was internally scrutinised as the cause of the fish kill as early as the 20th of November, almost a month before the algae bloom hypothesis was finalised.
Additionally, the stomachs, flesh and livers of over 30 tested fish samples all came back positive for high counts of arsenic, phosphorous and sulfur.
The chaeteceros species of algae was identified as being the factor that caused the kill, however, high chaeteceros counts were only recorded at the mussel farms under the Kwinana grain terminal and at the south of Garden Island, where they would be expected to increase.
Additionally, counts did not increase for some five days after the event.
An email sent from a laboratory within the Department of Water at roughly the beginning of the fish kill identifies that there was no proof of an algae bloom, among the very first samples tested.
Some emails collected via FOI:
More to come.
Nobody will touch this story. Not WAToday, not Seven, not PerthNow. This is, in my biased mind, ludicrous.

Five Things to Consider when Choosing a Chicago Pool Contractor
After much deliberation with your family members, you finally decided to take the plunge and build a dazzling pool in your backyard. You planned the design, materials and building permits needed for the pool construction to ensue, but the toughest part is yet to come: hiring a pool contractor. To make things easier for you, here are five things you need to consider before choosing one.
Make Sure that It is a Certified Builder
To assure that high-quality pool construction service will be delivered to you, make sure that the builders you will be working with finished the Certified Building Professional (CSP) program, as awarded by the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP). The association tests, trains, and retrains pool builders before certifying them.
Ask for a List of Customer References
When you have your preferred candidates, ask for a list of customer references as it functions much like a portfolio. This is how you're going to determine whether the builders have adequate experience when it comes to pool construction. There should be several customers who can attest to the skills provided by the builders you've chosen.
Check Out Websites
If you're having a hard time finding the right pool contractor in Chicago, try checking out the Internet as it is home to vast information and references concerning pool construction. There should be several pool construction contractors out there that you can contact. Look at how long they have been in the business and find pictures of previous jobs. Read testimonials too.
Don't Rush Things
Pool construction is a huge project and investment, so it shouldn't be done hastily. Try to garner as much bids as possible and check out other bids from competitor companies. If you hire the first pool contractor in Chicago you see on the Web, chances are, you'll be missing out on greater and more affordable deals offered by other pool construction companies.
Read the Contract Thoroughly
Before signing a deal with the pool contractors Chicago has, evaluate the contract thoroughly. Don't sign anything until you're 100% sure about the deal. If you're not comfortable with a certain proposal, talk it over with the pool builder and arrange a more convenient approach. After all, you're the customer, and it's just right that your personal preferences be heard and even adhered to.

Friends form a unique bond that is different than family. They share secrets and dreams that family may never understand or support. And unlike family, you get to pick your friends!
Helen Keller once said, "Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light." We are not put on this earth to live alone or be alone. Countless studies have proven that social connections have a positive effect on our well-being including reducing stress, alleviating depression, and even extending life. What would happen if you lived life without any contact with other people? Chances are you wouldn't have much of a reason to stick around because friends give your life meaning. They also make it fun.
Friends nourish our soul, inside and out. Make sure you value your friends and keep friendships a part of your life. Reach out to a friend today!

Actually, if you clicked the link, you would have found that there were mixed quotes between the Democrats and the American Communist Party. See boy-toy, it was a little game. The object of the game was to see if you could figure out who made the quotes: the liberals or the Communists.
So I took the time to weed out the liberal quotes and post only the American Communist Party quotes. Of course, if you want to have some fun, take the test yourself.
You see, the Communists and Liberals have very similar agendas. In fact, DumBama was supported by the US Communist Party in both of his elections. Communists believe in wealth redistribution, they believe in disarming the public, they believe in ridding our society of religion, they believe in heavy government control of businesses like health insurance companies. There are few differences between Communists and Liberals.

Merry Christmas to all!!
#23221 Dec 24, 2013
I'm not trying to beat you up. I'm trying to help you. You want to get your message out. I'm suggesting some small changes that will help you to more effectively communicate.
I know that the status quo here is full on attack, all the the time, but I don't play that game. I know there's a real person behind all your bluster. And I'd like to say "Merry Christmas" to you (and to all the other Topix knuckleheads out there!)
#23222 Dec 25, 2013
Don't forget to put your tin foil hat and watch out them heleeecopters.
#23223 Dec 25, 2013
From that source, yeah right. Anybody that buys into their crap is the boy-toy. I guess that would be you.
#23224 Dec 25, 2013
Old Guy, it was an attack. It had nothing to do with the topic being discussed. But that's okay. It is Christmas, and Canton is sitting home all alone because he does't want to be a hypocrite by celebrating Christmas with his family :-D
Merry Christmas to you and everybody here.
#23225 Dec 25, 2013
I'm not really inclined to attack anyone here today, soo...
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope y'all enjoy spending time with your loved ones, and I'll be back tomorrow to help resume our "spirited debates". LOL
#23226 Dec 25, 2013
I don't know about the old indian part but that does not diminish the value of the message. I like it.
#23227 Dec 25, 2013
Even if I had gotten drunk, your own post just now states that my post is sober. TY for the endorsement.
#23228 Dec 25, 2013
TY. Great wishes to ALL this day. Now is it too late for Woo Boy to join the Christmas truce?

#23229 Dec 25, 2013
The armistice is on for today? We'll pick up tomorrow.
Merry Christmas y'all!
#23231 Dec 25, 2013
Merry Christmas!!!
#23232 Dec 25, 2013
So there is really nothing you know about me. Still...Merry Christmas.
#23233 Dec 25, 2013
Oh boy. There you go again with the James Taylor links. Haven't you already been shown what a conservative tool that guy is? Nobody can trust a word that energy lobby paid goon has to say. Now about those undeniable facts of so many record highs in one year. Tens of thousands..you know, what you called "a few warm days". No agenda there...ha ha! Hey, why did the Conservatives spend a billion dollars to refute climate change and why are all the donors energy corporations who are now hiding their tracks? Nothing says legit like hiding where your money is coming from. Now any way...you were telling us about this flat earth we live on. Do tell.
#23234 Dec 25, 2013
I love how when you Google your source "The Daily Caller" the word "Bias" appears in the top 3 listings provided by Google. Rubbish. Now back to the documented and historically accurate scientific data I have been providing. Save your militia propaganda websites for the conspiracy theorists at the gun show.
#23235 Dec 25, 2013
And Merry whatever to you too Canton. How was your holiday? Or did you not celebrate it?
I'm very sorry you didn't like my source. Here, how about right from the horses mouth?
Last month's settlement reopening the federal government constituted a major victory for democratic governance. It firmly rebuffed a reckless attempt by a small group of right-wing extremists to leverage what should have been the routine lifting of the debt ceiling and funding of government operations into something much more serious and consequential.
De-funding Obamacare was to be the first trophy in a far more ambitious and longer-term power play by a reactionary grouping and their big-pocketed financial backers. Their aim: to reverse the 2012 elections, dis-empower President Obama for the remainder of his term, bypass democratic institutions and rules, and, above all, impose a deeply reactionary political agenda on the country - not to mention position themselves to gain control of Congress in 2014 and the presidency in 2016.
That this might entail violating the core democratic principle of majority rule, nullifying an election, courting economic disaster in the midst of an already anemic recovery, and bringing on a political crisis of first-rate proportions, didn't seem to bother these fanatics of the right. They were prepared to roll the dice.
A combination of factors explains why the extremist tea party crowd came with egg and worse on their faces.
First, the president, to his credit, didn't blink; he refused to give in to extortion. He evidently understood, in no small measure from earlier experience with the sequester, that if he gave ground again it would be tantamount to surrendering his presidency and much more.
Second, the American people in their majority saw through the "both sides responsible" sham. By the second week of the shutdown nearly three-quarters of the public blamed the Republicans. This no doubt had a sobering impact on established and moderate voices in the GOP.
Third, the tea party wrongly assumed that people were ready to go to war over Obamacare. While many people may not like it (or the caricatured version served up by right-wing media and politicians), few were ready to shut down the government in order to repeal it.
Fourth, organized actions throughout the country stiffened the resistance of Democrats and were surely noted by Republicans representing swing districts.
Finally, pressure from Wall Street and other sections of big capital was a factor in forcing a settlement, demonstrating that this crisis was not a case of class war, "pure and simple," in which the capitalist class lines up on one side and the working class on the other.
Certainly, on one side was a coalition of right-wing forces, including a sliver of well-heeled capitalists - the most racist, anti-labor, anti-democratic and reactionary. However, on the other side was not only a majority of the American people, but also major sections of the capitalist class who, while sharing many of the aims of right-wing extremists in the Republican Party, were not ready to risk pulling the plug on the economy in order to achieve them.
#23236 Dec 25, 2013
I guess Woo-Humbug didn't read your post, or ignored it. LOL!

It's taken me a while to get around to reading this novel – but I'm glad I did. It's an old-fashioned, classic SF novel that's been tremendously popular in China – winning a number of awards – and won the Hugo this year for best novel. It's the first of a trilogy – Remembrances of Earth's Past – (though I'm satisfied with the way this novel ended) and is set between the end of the Cultural Revolution in the Sixties through to the present day. After an opening section set at the trial of a physicist during the Cultural Revolution and following the subsequent career of his daughter, Ye Wenjie, at a top-secret military base, the first half of the novel is a mystery in which the main character, Wang Miao, a nanomaterials researcher, investigates the deaths of scientists and becomes involved with the military.The storytelling is kept fresh through different forms of narratives used including recounts, interviews and reports. With the exception of Ye Wenjie, who is a compelling antagonist, other characters are thinly drawn and often fall into stereotypes.
There's a great deal of hard science fiction and exploration of a civilisation – the Trisolarans – attempting to survive a chaotic three sun environment plus a devious plot involving protons to prevent human technological development.
I particularly enjoyed the parts of the novel set in the aftermath of the Cultural Revolution – plus the ecological sub-text – and the impact these had on the motivations of characters like Ye Wenjie and Mike Evans (a billionaire Eco-communist of sorts). Less engaging was the final part of the plot which ended up being about alien invasion.
What's also interesting is that the novel is incredibly critical of the Chinese regime during the Cultural Revolution. That surprised me a great deal.
Three-Body was a strong final read of this year and, at some point in 2016, I'll read the second novel, The Dark Forest.

Today I visted my first school in Mexico, a private school near Ensenada where most students spoke English about as well (ok ok, better) than I speak Spanish. I gave one presentation in English and one (!) in Spanish. I encourage you to click on the movie on the left.
Right now, I am embarrassed to be from the United States. This past week Montreal held international talks about what to do after the Kyoto treaty expires. The representative for the United States, at the critical end of the talks, stood up and walked away. This is disgraceful, as the United States uses one quarter of the world's fossil fuels.
Stopping global warming requires the countries of the world to work together – both rich and poor. Here is why: consider a situation where the United States continues using fossil fuels but Canada imposes limits on fossil fuels. Businesses, finding fossil fuels cheaper than alternatives, will move to the United States. This would both hurt Canada's economy and cause the United States to emite more carbon dioxide, partially offsetting Canada's efforts.
Here in Mexico, my message is that we must all work together, as a world, to solve this problem. I also share that there are many people in the United States who are doing something about global warming even if our president is not. I am proud that my governer, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is trying to pass legislation that would help California reduce its emissions. There are mayors across the United States that have made pledges. I also share stories of student initiatives such as urally.
I am sensitive that I cannot tell people in Mexico what to do, and that there are many problems perhaps more pressing than climate change here in Mexico. Nonetheless, even if the United States has to act before Mexico, eventually, especially in the lifetimes of the students I am visiting, we will have to work together with Mexico to reduce emissions.
This is my message. (Of course, the students are often a bit more interested in passing around my home-made camping stove or helping me out with my Spanish.)

October 1st Marks China's Independence Day and the Release of 60th Anniversary Commemorative Coins
Silver and gold coins issued to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China are selling for as much as $100,000.
China is only the third country to launch a human into orbit on its own, after Russia and the United States. Notably, the Chinese were the first to launch rockets -- in the year 1232. During the battle of Kai-Keng, the Chinese repelled Mongol invaders by a barrage of "arrows of flying fire," that used gunpowder as a solid-propellant.
The World Gold Council quotes Cai Yanan of Beijing Caibai Gold and Jewelry, saying that local demand for the 60th Anniversary coins, gold in particular, "far exceeds the supply." Prices range from under $100 for the 1 oz. silver coin to over $100,000 for the impressive kilo (Over 32 oz.) gold coin. For further information contact official distributor Panda America at 800-472-6327 or visit their web site www.PandaAmerica.com.

German football team evacuated from Paris hotel after bomb threat
THE German football team has been evacuated from a hotel in Paris following a bomb threat.
Manager Oliver Bierhoff has confirmed the national team have been forced to leave after the alarm was raised.
The exclusive Molitor hotel in the 16th arrondissement in the French capital is currently being searched with special force police dogs.
Mr Bierhoff told a German newspaper: "There was a bomb threat. The hotel has been widely cordoned off and evacuated."
The World Cup champions are playing France in a friendly at the Stade de France on Friday.
"We received an anonymous call about a bomb threat this morning."Hotel spokeswoman
A hotel spokeswoman said: "We received an anonymous call about a bomb threat this morning. Management took all precautions to ensure the safety of its guests and staff and are cooperating with the authorities."
Bus routes around the hotel have been diverted.
Paris has seen several bomb scares this year following the terrorist attacks on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a Kosher store in January.
The iconic Eiffel Tower was forced to close and thousands were evacuated from Charles de Gaulle airport following separate bomb alerts.

A COMPANY which provides affordable housing in Midlothian has invested £13 million in new and existing homes over the past year, its outgoing chairman has said.
Melville Housing used grants from the Scottish Government and money from private financiers to construct the £8.7m Langlaw Road project in Mayfield.
As well as providing 133 new homes, the project also helped to support the local construction industry.
Another £3.1m went towards improving existing homes by replacing windows, doors and fitting new kitchens. A further £1.1m was used to purchase homes as part of the Scottish Government's Mortgage to Rent scheme.
Departing chairman Brian Christie said: "I would like to thank my colleagues on the committee and Melville's hard-working staff for all their efforts over the past five years.
"I am extremely proud of what we have achieved during this time and never more so than over the past 12 months. During this time, and in the face of a number of significant challenges, Melville's achievements have been fantastic."

Revamped Enthusiast Platform
Join us at 12:30pm PT / 3:30pm ET as Intel's Matt Dunford joins us for a live stream event to discuss the release of Haswell-E and the X99 platform!! Find us at http://www.pcper.com/live!!
Sometimes writing these reviews can be pretty anti-climactic. With all of the official and leaked information released about Haswell-E over the last six to nine months, there isn't much more to divulge that can truly be called revolutionary. Yes, we are looking at the new king of the enthusiast market with an 8-core processor that not only brings a 33% increase in core count over the previous generation Ivy Bridge-E and Sandy Bridge-E platforms, but also includes the adoption of the DDR4 memory specification, which allows for high density and high speed memory subsystems.
And along with the new processor on a modified socket (though still LGA2011) comes a new chipset with some interesting new features. If you were left wanting for USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt on X79, then you are going to love what you see with X99. Did you think you needed some more SATA ports to really liven up your pool of hard drives? Retail boards are going to have you covered.
Again, just like last time, you will find a set of three processors that are coming into the market at the same time. These offerings range from the $999 price point and go down to the much more reasonable cost of $389. But this time there are more interesting decisions to be made based on specification differences in the family. Do the changes that Intel made in the sub-$1000 SKUs make it a better or worse buy for users looking to finally upgrade?
Haswell-E: A New Enthusiast Lineup from Intel
Today's launch of the Intel Core i7-5960X processor continues on the company's path of enthusiast branded parts that are built off of a subset of the workstation and server market. It is no secret that some Xeon branded processors will work in X79 motherboards and the same is true of the upcoming Haswell-EP series (with its X99 platform) launching today. As an enthusiast though, I think we can agree that it doesn't really matter how a processor like this comes about, as long as it continues to occur well into the future.
The Core i7-5960X processor is an 8-core, 16-thread design built on what is essentially the same architecture we saw released with the mainstream Haswell parts released in June of 2013. There are some important differences of course, including the lack of integrated graphics and the move from DDR3 to DDR4 for system memory. The underlying microarchitecture remains unchanged, though. Previously known as the Haswell-E platform, the Core i7-5960X continues Intel's trend of releasing enthusiast/workstation grade platforms that are based on an existing mainstream architecture.
Continue reading our review of the new Intel Core i7-5960X Haswell-E processor!!
Little. Yellow. Different.
Corsair just can't help themselves, they just can't stop building new cases. Obsidian, Carbide, Graphite; the obsession is never ending it seems. That's good news for enthusiasts though as Corsair's entries to the case market have almost always been high quality. Today's official launch of the Graphite 380T, available in yellow, black and white color schemes, brings yet another entry to the Mini-ITX form factor. It's a market that has been getting a lot of attention lately and one that requires more careful thought in design.
With a price of $139-149 depending on color, the Graphite 380T isn't a cheap case by most users descriptions but it is quite unique - both from the look and style as well as the implementation of components. You get a 3-speed fan controller as well as an interior dome light that adds a little character to an exterior that will already get a lot attention. And maybe some comparisons to a Dewalt portable worksite stereo.
The front panel removes with a simple spring-loaded click release and acts as both air inlet and filter for the large 140mm fan included up front.
Continue looking through pictures of the Corsair Graphite 380T Mini ITX Case!!

The price of upgrading, DDR4 starts to appear
Subject: Editorial, General Tech, Memory | August 20, 2014 - 04:08 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Haswell-E, G.Skill, ddr4-2800, ddr4-2666, ddr4-2400, ddr4-2133, ddr4, crucial, corsair
DDR4 is starting to arrive at NewEgg and some kits are actually in stock for those who want to be the first on their block to have these new DIMMs and can remortgage their home. The price of Haswell-E CPUs and motherboards is as of yet unknown but looking over the past few years of Intel's new processors you can assume the flagship processor will be around $999.99 with the feature rich motherboards starting around $200 and quickly raising from there.
Both G.SKILL and Crucial have lead with 32GB kits in DDR4-2133 and DDR4-2400 and as you can see the price for their DIMMs and most likely the competitions will be between $450 to $500.
At the 16GB mark you have more choices with Corsair joining in and a range of speeds that go up to DDR4-2800 as well as your choice of a pair of 8GB DIMMs or four 4GB DIMMs. Corsair was kind enough to list the timings, the DDR4-2666 @ 15-17-17-35 and the DDR4-2800 @ 16-18-18-36 though you will certainly pay a price for the RAM with the highest frequencies.
For those on a budget it would seem like waiting is your best choice, especially as Amazon is offering a limited selection of the new kits, as there is only a single 8GB kit from Crucial although you can buy two of the single DIMMs without heatspreaders for $110.
Intel product releases are always dearly priced, the introduction of a new generation of RAM is both exciting and daunting. You will see power reductions, base frequencies that were uncommon in DDR3 and very likely an increase in the ability to overclock these DIMMs but it is going to cost you. If Haswell-E is in your sights you should start planning on how to afford replacing your CPU, motherboard and RAM at the same time as this is no refresh this is a whole new product line.
Corsair Commander Mini Provides Ultimate Control of PC Cooling, Lighting, and Performance

You are probably already familiar with the Corsair Link functionality in Corsair "i" series of PSUs as well as their self contained watercoolers which allows intelligent fan control from a software control panel. Corsair Commander is an expansion of that tool, allowing control of fans and LEDs in addition to your PSU and CPU cooler, as long as they bear the Corsair Link Digital decal. For $60 you can think of it as a powerful, if specialized, fan controller with a few other tricks up its sleeve.
FREMONT, California —August 19, 2014 — Corsair, a worldwide leader in high-performance PC hardware components, today announced the availability of the Corsair Commander Mini control unit. The compact Commander Mini gives users the ability to connect and control multiple lights, fans, and other Corsair devices with an intuitive software interface.
Corsair Commander Mini
The Corsair Commander Mini is a centralized control unit for Corsair Link PC control and monitoring system. Equipped with four Corsair Link Digital ports, six fan control connectors, four temperature probe inputs, and a port for connecting Corsair Link LED lighting strips, Corsair Commander Mini lets users take complete control of their PC's lighting and cooling. The unit is easy to install with an included mounting kit and connects to your PC via a standard SATA connector for power and an included cable to connect it to a USB 2.0 header on the PC's motherboard.
Corsair Link gives ultimate PC control
Corsair Link marks an end to the days of case fans, component fans and case lighting that must be managed manually with hardware switches and dials, while simultaneously offering more advanced control and expansion options than motherboard BIOS settings. Everything is configurable from the PC's desktop via the Corsair Link Dashboard software interface.
Precise Monitoring
Users can see how a system is operating at a glance with an unprecedented level of detail. Coolant temperature, ambient temperature (at multiple points), and the speed of case fans and fans built-in to compatible system components can be monitored, all via the Corsair Link Dashboard software.
A New Level of Control
Corsair Link gives PC users the power to manage fan speeds individually, set up customized cooling profiles, or program fans to respond to changes in ambient or component temperature. Lighting can be programmed to relay critical system information or to change the look of the system to provide an instant visual indicator of the selected cooling profile, or just for fun.
Expandable Eco-System
The Commander Mini fan controllers work with virtually any standard PC case fan, and the included temperature sensors can be placed nearly anywhere in a PC case. Expand your control by adding compatible peripherals, including Corsair i-Series liquid CPU coolers, i-Series power supplies, and DRAM cooling systems which feature the Corsair Link Digital logo.
Also, Corsair's Cherry MX RGB Launch Date Changed
Subject: General Tech, Cases and Cooling | August 18, 2014 - 10:02 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: corsair, mechanical keyboard, cherry mx rgb
So I actually did not see this until after I published the Razer story. Just a few hours ago, Corsair posted an announcement to their Facebook page that claimed a "cbange" in launch date for their Cherry MX RGB-based keyboards. I actually forgot that the K70 RGB Red was supposed to be out already, with availability listed as "late July" (the rest were scheduled to arrive in "late August"). Corsair does not yet have a new date, but will comment "in a few weeks".
Got to say, that does look nice.
While, again, no further details are given, it sounds like a technical hurdle is holding back the launch. Corsair claims that they want the product to live up to expectations. This, of course, chips further at the company's exclusivity window and could put them in direct competition with Razer's custom design, and may even be available second, almost in spite of the exclusivity arrangement.
Corsair Vengeance LPX and Dominator Platinum DDR4 Memory
Subject: Memory | August 15, 2014 - 12:24 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ddr4, corsair, Vengeance LPX, Dominator Platinum
FREMONT, California — August 14, 2014 — Corsair, a leader in high-performance PC hardware, today announced the availability of Corsair Vengeance LPX and Dominator Platinum lines of high-speed DDR4 computer memory. This new generation of memory ushers in a new age of ultrafast computing with optimizations such as increased DRAM bandwidth, higher bus frequencies, lower power usage, and higher reliability.
Corsair Vengeance LPX and Dominator Platinum DDR4 memory kits are validated with motherboard partners (ASUS, ASRock, EVGA, Gigabyte, and MSI) and use the new XMP 2.0 profile to deliver easy, reliable overclocking performance with the upcoming next-generation Intel® X99 platforms and Intel® Core™ i7 processors (codenamed Haswell-E). The Vengeance LPX and Dominator Platinum memory kits are supplied with a limited lifetime warranty.
Vengeance LPX
Vengeance LPX memory is a new Corsair memory line designed for high-performance overclocking with a low-profile heatspreader is made of pure aluminum for faster heat dissipation and the eight-layer PCB helps manage heat and provides superior overclocking headroom. The memory kits are available in black, red, white, or blue so that enthusiasts, gamers, and modders can add a touch style to match the color scheme of their PC.
Dominator Platinum
Like the DDR3 memory versions, the new Dominator Platinum DDR4 memory kits have a striking industrial design for good looks, patented DHX technology for cooler operation, user-swappable colored "light pipes" for customizable downwash lighting, and Corsair Link compatibility for real-time temperature monitoring. Dominator Platinum memory is built with hand-screened ICs, undergoes rigorous performance testing, and incorporates state-of-the-art cooling for reliable performance in demanding environments.
Vengeance LPX and Dominator Platinum DDR4 Specifications
- Unbuffered DDR4 SDRAM in 288-pin DIMM
- Capacities at launch: 8GB (2x4GB), 16GB (4x4GB), 32GB (4x8GB) and 64GB (8x8GB)
- Speeds at launch: 2666MHz, 2800MHz, and 3000MHz
- Intel XMP 2.0 (Extreme Memory Profile) support
About DDR4
DDR4 is faster. Even at the baseline speed of DDR4 delivers twice the bandwidth with 2133 MT/s (million transfers per second) compared with the base DDR3 1600 MT/s. With optimizations games and applications have the potential to load faster and run more smoothly.
DDR4 uses a lot less power and runs cooler.
With each new generation of CPU and GPU architecture, system power consumption and heat generation become more and more important. DDR4 modules operate at an ultra-low standard 1.2 volts compared to the 1.5 and 1.65 volts of DDR3 memory, allowing DDR4 memory to consume significantly less power and generate less heat.
DDR4 memory modules can get bigger.
DDR3 is limited to 8GB modules for a maximum of 32GB on standard four-socket motherboards. DDR4 will have the ability to enable 16GB per module by 2015. A motherboard with eight memory slots will be upgradeable to an amazing 128GB or DDR4 memory.
Pricing, Availability, and Warranty
Corsair Vengeance LPX Series and Dominator Platinum DDR4 memory kits will be available at the end of August from Corsair's worldwide network of authorized distributors and resellers. The Vengeance LPX and Dominator Platinum memory kits are supplied with a limited lifetime warranty and are backed up by Corsair's customer service and technical support.
It's so cool, and so tiny
Corsair continues to march down the path of making a PC case for just about every user imaginable. At Computex this past June, Corsair announced the Carbide Air 240 case, which is a smaller version of the very popular (and well reviewed) Carbide Air 540. These unique cases include two separate compartments: one for the motherboard, CPU, and graphics card and another for the power supply, storage, and miscellaneous cable clutter. The result is a sleek cube-shaped form factor that is easy to build inside.
Available in both black and white (with UV resistant paint), the $89/99 case fits both Mini-ITX and Micro-ATX motherboards allowing quite a bit of component flexibility.
A quick look at the front of the case shows the cube-like shape that both the Air 540 and Air 240 share, a form factor resulting from the dual-compartment design. The Corsair logo in the center can actually be rotated depending on the orientation of the case which itself can be rotated to allow the windowed case door to be the top of the case rather than the side.
Keep reading our overview of the Corsair Carbide Air 240 with plenty more photos and descriptions!!
What is in a brand? The tale of two low cost SSDs
Subject: Storage | July 28, 2014 - 03:52 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: adata, SP610, corsair, Force LX, 512GB
Two drives are competing for the budget segments money on Legit Reviews, the $250 Corsair Force LX 512GB and the $240 ADATA SP610 512GB SSD. 512GB should be enough for most budget users to store their needed software on and save them the cost of an HDD but which will offer the most value for the money? Both drives have Silicon Motion's SM2246EN controller and 20nm Micron MLC NAND, the same 3 year warranty and the same physical measurements. Does one stand out over the other? Read the full review to see.
"Solid-State Drive (SSD) have been steadily growing in capacity and thanks to improvements to the manufacturing processes the price of NAND and SSD controllers has been falling at an impressive rate. This means that fairly large SSDs are now fairly affordable and something the for the average consumer can justify purchasing."

Summer is ending, and so it seems appropriate that my posts on our Alaska trip are coming to an end with this installment. It really was a nice trip. We took a Hawaiian cruise five years ago, and in most ways I think I prefer this Alaska trip over the Hawaii one.
Our final port was Ketchikan.
Ketchikan is a town of about 8000 along Alaska's Inside Passage. It's known for totem poles, so off we went on a city bus to Totem Bight State Historical Park, which had them in spades.
There was a nice path to walk that took us past many totem poles, as well as the "Clan House" of the Tlingit and Haida natives who had lived (and still live) in the area. The park also had a nice pond and nature area, so we spent a while there as well.
This being a temperate rain forest, there were creatures like this huge (but harmless) banana slug.
It was a gorgeous place. If you are even in Ketchikan — go there!
Ketchikan's Creek Street
Back in town, we walked to Creek Street. This is the city's old shopping district, and it had a quaint look. It reminded me a lot of Nashville, Indiana, if you've ever been there.
We did a little looking in the touristy souvenir shops along the dock as well, and with that, we called it a day and got back on board the Zaandam.
Take Your Whole Family on Cruises Without a College Degree
And that, my friends, wraps up our Alaska cruise. My mom generously took all three of her daughters and our families on this cruise, as well as the Hawaii cruise in 2011. When I tell people this, I always have the uncomfortable feeling that people are thinking we're wealthy or something, when this is far from the truth. My mom has a high school education and has worked for 20 years or so as a tutor at the middle school. But, she is very frugal, and in this way she saved enough to take 12 people on 2 nice cruises. Twice!
I am much the same way, so I can attest to the fact that this works. Back in my single teaching days, I lived very frugally during the school year. Then, in the summer, I often went to Europe for two or three weeks. When people asked how I did this "on a teacher's salary!", I wondered how much detail they wanted. The frugal lifestyle involves going to the customer service desk to request .40 when you see that an item rang up at too high a price. It involves picking up pennies in the parking lot when you see them. It means that my new clothes this season has consisted of a $2 shirt from Goodwill. When I once heard that the average life of a pair of socks was 6 months, I laughed. I have socks I've worn for ten years. It's a lifestyle — and while it's certainly not for everyone, the rewards have been well worth it to me.
This reminds me of a MOPS group conversation from years ago. Each of us moms had to name what we wished for most, for our kids. The other moms were all saying, "happiness," etc. I said, "the ability to delay gratification." I think most of them thought I was nuts, but seriously — how many of life's difficulties could be solved if we just bucked up a little and hung on?
How about you? Have you ever visited Ketchikan? Picked up a penny? 🙂

Biology is one of the original natural sciences, even reaching back as far as the study of anatomy in ancient Egypt, where evidence has been found of surgery, forensics, and anatomical knowledge of both organ structure and function. Biology in general is the study of life and living organisms, with specific attention to function, growth, evolution, identification and taxonomy. Modern biology is becoming an interdisciplinary field, overlapping with biomedical engineering, molecular chemistry, and genetics. The biological sciences recognize the cell as the basic unit of life, and DNA as the basic unit of heredity. Moreover, all organisms survive by consuming and transforming energy via respiration or photosynthesis, and by regulating their internal environment via homeostasis.
The life sciences are defined by the scale at which organisms are studied, in that biochemistry focuses on chemical processes of life while molecular biology involves molecules and protein synthesis. Cellular biology may be broken down further into a structural analysis of cell organelles and lipid membrane boundries, such as in skin tissue or alveolar sacs in the lungs. In the field of genetic engineering, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) may be spliced together from different organisms, in an attempt to transfer hereditary traits that may increase crop yields, create a supply of stem-cells, or even clone sheep. Beyond major requirements within the human anatomy department, you may consider University of Buckingham pharmacy technology as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

"The second reason is because we are the first Spanish company to join Intertek's SATELLITE program and this means that we are leading the way in our home market."
Ingeteam's Solar Energy Division specializes in applying technology and innovation to the development of photovoltaic (PV) inverters; also providing control solutions and maintenance services for the renewable power plants.
Promoting the generation of energy from natural sources is integral to Ingeteam's corporate environmental policy. Mr. Jadraque believes that this recognition from Intertek will help Ingeteam to gain relevance in the U.S. market, where the company has been present for many years with a production facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
"We are proud to partner with Ingeteam and offer Intertek's SATELLITE Program as the best vehicle to help them accelerate speed to market for their solar inverter products," said Sunny Rai, Vice President, Renewable Energy at Intertek.
"As Ingeteam continues to innovate and expand, Intertek will be there to help ensure their success. Our global expertise in renewable energy and breadth of services across the full energy product life cycle aligns with Ingeteam's international growth and commitment to new product development."
