VANCOUVER (Reuters) - General Motors Co said on Thursday it will invest $117 million to ready its assembly plant in Oshawa, Ontario, to build the new Cadillac XTS luxury sedan, securing 400 jobs at a factory that had been hard-hit by layoffs.
Production is planned to start in the first half of 2012 at the plant, which laid off more than 1,000 workers during the brutal downturn in the North American auto sector in 2008 and 2009, when GM filed for bankruptcy protection.
"Adding the Cadillac XTS affirms GM's commitment to a strong manufacturing base in Canada, ensuring Oshawa will have a critical role in the ongoing transformation of Cadillac," said Kevin Williams, president and managing director of General Motors of Canada.
The Canadian Auto Workers union welcomed the announcement but Local 222 president Chris Buckley said it was no surprise as "the Cadillac is a vehicle we bargained for".
"Our major obstacle is that we have a consolidated plant that produces the Chevrolet Impala and Equinox, which will be idled in 2013... We need new products at the consolidated plant else we will suffer," Buckley told Reuters.
GM said that over the past year, the Oshawa plant has added two new shifts and 1,300 employees to its assembly line, along with production of its Chevrolet Equinox, Chevrolet Camaro convertible, and Buick Regal.
The new investment will let the plant create or retain 400 jobs, GM said. The plant employs 4,500 workers and is GM's biggest facility in Canada.
GM was given $9.5 billion in Canadian loans in 2009 to help it avoid liquidation. At the time, the company said it would maintain just under 20 percent of its U.S.-Canada production in Canada, and spend C$2.2 billion ($2.25 billion) on capital projects in the country through 2016, as well as C$1 billion on research and development.
Separately, GM said earlier on Thursday it will make a new luxury compact Cadillac sedan next year that is aimed at taking market share from foreign nameplates such as BMW.

In the northern areas of the Cotton Belt, suboptimum temperatures are rather common during the very early stages of growth and during the latter stages of boll development of cotton (Gossyplum hirsutum). The effects of low temperature on boll development have been well defined, but little is known of the early season effects on plant fruiting and development. Thus, the purpose of this research was to determine how temperature influences early fruiting and vegetative development in cotton and to what extent the action of a chemical known to effect fruiting may be modified by temperature. Two diverse cotton cultivars, 'Gregg 35' and 'Deltapine 16,' were grown in field growth chambers under night temperature regimes of 10, 15, 20, and 25 C from the day of seedling emergence until frost. Methyl parathion was sprayed on half the plants of each cuitivar at 10, 12, and 13 days after planting to assess the temperature chemical interaction. The observed effects, in the order of their magnitude were temperature > cultivar > chemical. Temperature-cuitivar and temperature-chemical effects were apparent in some cases. Earliness of fruiting as measured by days from emergence to first square, and bloom was most timely at 20 and 25 C. As temperature decreased below 20 C, however, there was a marked increase in both days to first square and days to first bloom. Nodal positions of first squares and blooms were essentially the same at 15 and 20 C, but either a reduction to 10 C or an increase to 25 C resulted in a significantly higher nodal position of these forms. The total number of limbs per plant was relatlvely constant across cultivars and treatments, but the ratio changed between vegetative and fruiting limbs. At 10 and 25 C the number of vegetative limbs increased at the expense of fruiting limbs. Number of bolls per plant and seed cotton yield were drastically retarded at 10 C for both cultivars. Maximum boll production was achieved at 15 C for Gregg and 20 C for Deltapine. Maximum yields were attained for both cuitivars at 20 and 25 C.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

How do I change the Window Boot Manager text?
How do I change the look of Windows Boot Manager. I was able to use BCDedit and make some changes, but how do I get rid of the the tools menu at the bottom?
I know it is nitpicky type stuff but some of these things annoy me and I know there has to be a way to change them.

Hi 2kx2, welcome to the forums
I don't think you can change the "tools menu".
EasyBCD should allow you to change the boot menu text, but here are instructions how to use BCDEDIT for that too, in case you can't accomplish it with EasyBCD: BCDEDIT - How to Use

I don't know of any way to do that. The only I can think of is to boot from multiple drives, but if you are concerned with the "tools menu" you probably don't want to do that, it requires selecting the boot drive with the right BIOS selection.

London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) October 29, 2009 -- Christmas is a special occasion for everyone including women. This is the day when they anticipate that men will shower them with special presents. So, the important question is how to woo your spouse or girlfriend on this special occasion.
It should be remembered that a woman always appreciates those Christmas presents to women [http://www.colourmebeautiful.co.uk/christmaspresentsforwomen] that are associated with her interests in some way or the other. Donât gift a woman an XBOX 360 on Christmas because when she gets its, she knows it instantly that you merely bought the gift for yourself and believe me thatâs quite shocking.
To gift the most ideal Christmas present to your beloved, make an observation about her attire. This will give you a fair idea about the colours, styles and designers that she is fond of. This will also eliminate the chances of landing her with a dress on Christmas that she already has in her closet. You can also get a closer look into a closet secretly to know about her favourite brands and confirm her proportions.
One can also gift a woman something that pertains to her hobby. For example, a book on gardening is the perfect gift for a woman who is an avid gardener. But donât commit the mistake of giving a cookbook to someone just because she is a female. A female who has no penchant for baking may hate a cookbook gift. In fact, itâs the dumbest founded gift a man can give to her lady oblivious of her distaste for cooking. She may get the notion that the gift was given to her so that she could bake some cookies for you next Christmas which is purely selfish.
A man can also talk to her belovedâs best friends for Christmas presents to women [http://www.colourmebeautiful.co.uk/christmaspresentsforwomen] because they may be aware of the best gift for their pal. If you are not able to carve an idea of a unique gift for your female, then the best idea is to rely on the personalized presents of jewellery which may consist of personalized pendants and heart charm bracelets bearing her name. Such presents are available on many online jewellery websites. A handbag can also appease your lady on the eve of Christmas provided it suits her personal sense of style.
If she is a Bride To Be you can also present her with Bridal Make-Up [http://www.colourmebeautiful.co.uk/bridalmakeup] Kit. People spend thousands of Dollars to look their best on their Wedding Day.
If you are running short of ideas for presents for Christmas, then just log on to internet and buy a health spa gift certificate because one day of pamper at the gym coupled with body massages and facials cant be compared to anything. Perfumes and fragrances are also a beautiful gift and they remind a woman of you every time you think about her. Before buying such a gift, knows whether she loves to apply perfumes and what are her favourite brands. A fragrance can be cherished by a woman if it is her most desired perfume and complements her style.
If you are visiting Hen Parties [http://www.colourmebeautiful.co.uk/henparties] then the Hen Party kit would again be an ideal gift.
Buying a gift for a woman is not a very meticulous procedure, provided you know what appeals to her. If you know what she wants and gift it to her, it makes her love you more.

Dear Satellite Guy
I feel like I'm the bitch from hell. Why? Because all of a sudden everyone is annoying to me. Especially you. You, who told me back in February that DISH network was coming out with a new i-net satellite system in April for the new house… that we still haven't gotten. Not that it is your fault, you tell me they haven't followed through. Okay, but when I call you a week ago and ask you to see about the other providers because we really, really hate dial-up and where we live we only have those two choices…and you tell me you will look into it and call in a couple of days… Let's say I'm not happy.
On a lighter note, your cousin (in spirit) Repair Person has called me back to tell me there are switches in the back of the fireplace remote control that can change the frequency so it will no longer turn on the upstairs one when you try and turn on the downstairs one. Nice to know some people really do follow through…
For some reason, the satellite guy we had before you turned out to be a total waste of time… too busy helping his kid get famous as an Elvis impersonator. I kid you not. Is it something in the genes? I thought you were different…

I think your old Satellite Guy was the one who came to my house and cut the giant hole in the wall. The mice thank him, I'm sure. 🙂

Muthoot Raises Hopes of More IPOs
Mumbai, India, April 21, 2010 Muthoot Finance Ltd.'s initial share offering to raise up to 9.01 billion rupees ($202.7 million) was heavily subscribed on its final day, a sign that investor appetite for initial public offerings may have returned. The gold financier received bids for 24.24 times the shares on offer at the end of trading on Thursday, data on the National Stock Exchange showed. Muthoot offered 51.5 million shares, including 7.73 million shares sold to anchor investors earlier, and sold at the higher end of its initial price band of 160 ($3.60) to 175 rupees ($4) apiece. The issue opened for subscription on Monday. The lender, which lends to people against gold held as security for the loans, raised 1.31 billion rupees ($29 million) through the sale of 7.73 million shares at 170 rupees per share to 15 anchor investors last Friday. The company will use the money to bolster its capital base to meet future needs as it expands its lending base. The issue is the largest initial share sale in India so far this year, according to data provider Dealogic. The response to the share sale is a positive indication of investor appetite, and augurs well for companies including L&T Finance Holdings Ltd. and Micromax Informatics Ltd. that have been waiting for market sentiment to recover before launching their IPOs this year. Future Ventures India Ltd. whose 7.5 billion ($168.8 million) opens Monday, will hope to tap into this demand, bankers said.

My adventures in knitting, spinning, dyeing, reading and living life the best way I know how.

Is shopping the cure or the disease?
I used my Addi Clicks to knit Bathmat VII . There are really easy to put together, but the bluntness of them irritates me. I've been buying individual Addi lace needles, trying to convince myself that I don't need the Lace Clicks. The ones in the pretty case. The super pointy ones with the red cord, just like my favourite needles. Anyway, today I woke up with a really sore right wrist, which I attribute to too much knitting, and knitting with blunt needles. In a moment of weakness I slipped and bought the Addi Long Lace Clicks. I hope they get here soon, I already know what I want to knit on them first (Cria, by Ysola for those of you following along at home. Still I'm knitting a pair of mitts and hat hat and a pair of socks before I really, really want them, and usually packages get here in about ten days, so the timing should work out. No pictures of the finished bathmat yet, it's drying after being blocked

Ride #2 in my "50 memorable rides in my 50th year" was last Sunday January 23, 2016 at the Guelph Lake Conservation Area on the GORBA trails (Guelph Off-Road Bicycling Assocation. http://gorba.ca/). GORBA has done a fantastic job grooming, maintaining and marking a winter trail loop through the snow, and although I've had a fat bike since last summer, I consider this ride to be my first really fun singletrack fat-bike winter ride.

Ride 1/50 – Track Cycling!
Ride #1 of 50 memorable rides in 2016 was at the Milton Velodrome this week.The company I work for, Matrix Solutions, had a team-building event where about 10 of us got some training on track bikes followed by an hour or so to ride on the track in Milton. This was my first time riding on an indoor cycling track and I wasn't sure what to expect. I'd been to this velodrome last summer to see some events of the 2015 Pan Am Games (I guest-blogged on Michelle the Runner's blog about the event here.) Continue reading
2015 Ride Summary
As we head into 2016, I thought I'd summarize my year in 2015. I'm not racing nearly as much as I used to. I'm riding more than in the past, but racing less. I enjoy group (and solo) rides on my road bike, the gravel grinders (all year!), mountain biking (particularly at the local trails: The Hydrocut) , and most recently, fat biking! I've listed a few highlights for 2015 below. Two of them are bike events and one is a swimming event: Continue reading

Last year's release of Cadillac will undergo some refreshment again and will be put on the market under the name – 2016 Cadillac Deville.
Design: Exterior
There is really something diabolic about this vehicle – it's very sleek, attractive, and aggressive at the same time. It is manufactured on the basis of the previous model, though the designers made everything for it to look like a totally new representative of the class.
Its exterior appearance is full of beasty look and subtle elegance together. Color options are not available to publicity – only strong black color is known for sure to be released providing mysterious look and specific attraction. High-quality materials used for manufacturing do not provide any sophistication in outer appearance – only classical Cadillac view.
Design: Interior
Speaking about the interior we cannot say anything for sure – some guesses are only possible to mention. Soft and comfortable leather are speculated to be used for upholstery in 2016 Cadillac Deville. Steering wheel is thought to be covered with wooden trim and leather stripes. Air conditioning zones include now not only driver and front back seat, but also the rear row of the passenger seats. The same can be said about the massage options and TV.
Space volume is not likely to be changed. Only some cabin length can be added at the expense of cutting trunk roominess capacity slightly.
Safety Options
Additional safety up-to-date technologies will be used for both manufacturing and assembling hot-new 2016 Cadillac Deville. Special attention will be dedicated to back row of the passenger seats. Four sets of air-bags are provided and embedded into the salon. Safety Driving System is used for better management and control over the road. Some state-of-the art break system technologies are promised to be implied here.
Performance Specs
Not very much is known already about the performance features of the brand new 2016 Cadillac Deville. What we know definitely is that the vehicle will adopt the V-6 or V-8 engines. It is possible also for two variants of different equipment. Acceleration capacity details of this outstanding flagship are hidden from the publicly open excess. We only presume it will be to astonish and mesmerize with power and speed.
Release date and Price
The whole world will probably see the Cadillac's flagship till the end of the 2016 year. The price estimation will start with $82,000 and go higher for specific options.

Closed-loop liquid cooler roundup: 9 AIO coolers reviewed
- Written by Petrus-Iulian "Devon" Fatu
- Published in Cooling reviews
Antec H20 1250
Most all-in-one coolers have a very similar layout. The pump and reservoir are usually attached to the cold-plate, and the radiator is separate. There are only a handful with a different architecture, and Antec H20 1250 is one of them. Instead of having a singular pump / reservoir / waterblock, it uses 2 medium sized pumps that are placed over the radiator.
The radiator measures 275x 120x 27mm, and has the same FPI count as Coolermaster's and ID-Cooling's, respectively 22fins-per-inch and 12 channels.
The fans are attached to the radiator, and sit directuly under the pumps, which means replacing them is a relatively difficult task. Unlike any other AIO on this list, all of which come with a single pump, one inlet and one outlet, Antec's H20 1250 has 2 separate smaller pumps and two inlets and two outlets.
This design should increase the volume of coolant pushed from pump A into the radiator through the first inlet, then into pump B, which pushes it into the waterblock.
The layout would increase also pressure and velocity. However, such an over-complicated architecture has more potential failure points over the more traditional design.
There are two types of tubing used on the cooler – the hard tubes used to connect the radiator to the pumps and the flexible ones running to the waterblock. The flexible tubing is similar to what Asetek has been using for the past few years, namely flexible OD hoses made from low-evaporative rubber.
The maximum length is only 300mm, so this puts it in the shorter listing of dual-fan AIOs.
Pump & Waterblock
While Asetek may be manufacturing the H20 1250, the design is 100% Antec, as there is literally no other all-in-one with a similar architecture. Instead of incorporating a pump over the waterblock, as is usually the case for liquid coolers, Antec has designed a waterblock that only features a fan controller, some USB enabled circuitry and an RGB LED.
The cold-plate is of Asetek design, using a micro-fin channel system and a copper base not unlike Thermaltake's Extreme Water 3.0.
The waterblock has an extensive bundle of wiring, since fans / pump / USB header all come out at this end.
Since the fans are connected into one unit, you will not be able to use aftermarket alternatives. Also worth noting is that the pump and fans have to run in tandem, so when you lower the fan speed, the pump also pushes the liquid at a lower speed as well.
The included MTBF fans are rated at over 50,000 hours of continuous use, so premature pump death due to faulty fan bearings should be a rare occurrence, but it is a possibility. In terms of performance, the fans are rated at a speed of up 2400RPM, 97.8CFM and 2.78mm of static pressure.
Since Asetek worked on H20 1250's, the waterblock and included accessories are similar to Thermaltake's. While the mounting bracket offers proper clearance, the radiator combo is actually thick and bulky enough to cause some problems while installing it in smaller sized enclosures.
As for the installation procedure, as I previously said, the installation procedure is similar to Water 3.0's:
1. Use the plastic backplate and insert the threaded tubes into the proper socket slot;
2. Push in until the an audible click is heard;
3. Attach the retention ring onto the waterblock;
4. Secure the waterblock onto the motherboard by using the four spring loaded bolts;
5. Connect the pump 4-pin connector to & the fans' 4-pin connector to the appropriate header;

Don Discovers Alternative Materials for Small Voltage Power Generations
A Don in the Department of Physics, College of Physical Sciences (COLPHYS), Professor Gboyega Adebayo, has disclosed that some special types of compounds, known as Heusler Alloys, which are semiconductors in nature, can be used as small voltage power generations. A Heusler Alloy is a three-element compound, which if combined in the right proportions, results in a new material with better properties and consequently if two Heusler Alloys are joined together in what is known as Thermoelectric Heterostructure, the combined alloys will generate small electric current due to temperature gradient between the alloys. Although, the power generated in this way is very small and cannot power a home, but can find applications in devices or appliances using 2-5Volts.
Professor Adebayo, who is also the Head, Department of Physics in the University, said that such heterostructures were already being fabricated in university laboratories in developed countries. Many of the fabrications depend largely on theoretical calculations/results attained mainly from the fields of Materials Science and Condensed Matter Physics and that one good advantage is the fact that the fabrications are cheap and may also be possible for Nigerian scientists to fabricate if their laboratories are equipped. He noted that "In this part of the world, where we don't have industries or laboratories that could fabricate semiconductors, we might not feel the effects so quickly, but our scientists can contribute to this fast-growing research field by engaging in theoretical calculations that predict properties of Heusler Alloys". He, however, stressed that he was aware that some researchers can fabricate 2-Dimensional Semiconductors in some Nigerian universities, but the properties of a 2-Dimensional material could be very different from that of corresponding bulk material.
Professor Adebayo, a specialist in Computational Condensed Matter Physics, noted that Physics is divided into two main parts: Experimental Physics and Theoretical Physics, adding that in Theoretical Physics, "we rely on theories to predict the behaviour or properties of material while Experimental Physics practicalise and come up with new materials". According to him, "What we do in some areas of Condensed Matter Physics or Materials Science is to try and combine three or four elements of the period table to make one improved materials, which can be used as semiconductor materials/components. We are doing this theoretically and not experimentally. The first problem we face when we do theoretical physics is making accurate pronouncement on something you don't know or something that you have never seen. For example, if I should combine silicon or germanium with two/three other materials, we know from experience that the properties of the new material would not be the same as that of silicon nor that of germanium. The new properties would be entirely different. Therefore, making accurate predictions is usually very problematic"
According to him, as a "Theoretical Physicist, making good predictions would be made to say which material is good for which purpose. Accurate predictions would guide Applied scientists, Materials scientists or Engineers in making new materials. It might be a difficult task, but what we do is to apply the well-established physics laws and theories, then we would see what the new properties would be. There would be some other conditions, which you, as a Theoretical Physicist, must think of. This actually does not end here as some of us that are into theory use computational methods, which mainly means simulations". He described simulations as mimicking material properties using certain steps and testing on a computer; whether the materials have some kind of properties that would be useful or not. "When you are doing simulations, it's not just your thinking; you have to combine what the Physicists say with your own thinking. You also find how to code because if you can't code all these theories, there is no way you can simulate the properties of materials", he noted. He added that "As difficult as the process looks, a Theoretical Physicist has one advantage which is, he doesn't have to wait till he has very large equipment before he can do his research. All he needs is to know the theories and know how to think well to get what the theories would predict and so on".
He added that we are very fortunate to have a very solid graduate programme in Physics, as many of these studies are possible partly because we have brilliant and hard working postgraduate students. I am particularly blessed with graduate students who excel in research. Commenting on a project by an M.Sc student, Mr. Ridwan Agbaoye, who had just completed his work and currently visiting the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Italy, saying "It is possible to have some organic materials which are semiconductors and could find applications as screen of phones, smart wristwatches, solar panels and on the new generation of flat screens television called the Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED)". Professor Adebayo further stated that the student researched an organic semiconductor, called Poly(3,4)-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT), noting that what Mr. Agbaoye did was to theoretically study the elastic and thermodynamic properties of PEDOT among other things. "People have done so many things on PEDOT, but there are still many aspects of it that people have not touched.
Highlighting other benefits of PEDOT, the Theoretical Physicist said it was possible for researchers to combine one or more elements with PEDOT to have an improved compound. According to him, "Part of what we do is to theoretically see how to improve on the properties of some semiconductors, such that they could be more useful to make new materials. It is when new materials are discovered that Applied Scientists could now see how to incorporate the materials into Integrated Circuit (IC) which are useful in devices such as phones, televisions and radios, among others". He added that in Physics, there is a slogan that says, "Physics today is the technology of tomorrow". According to him, "What that means is that people may not feel the effects of physics research until 10 or more years later. An example of this is Albert Einstein's work which took more than 50 years before people realised it".
He further stated that, "If you look at developed countries, they fund basic sciences because they know that technology of many things depend on how the scientists were able to master basic sciences. So, I would say that the University or government should encourage people in the fields of Physics and Mathematics. We shouldn't say that the common man on the streets has not been feeling the impact of what we are doing presently. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't pay attention to the basic sciences". According to him, "Corn and Gari sellers on the streets carry sophisticated phones, which were made possible as results of researches from basic sciences performed years or decades ago. So, the truth is that people should not look at us as doing abstract things as the time would come when you'll see the effects of all the things we are doing".
He, however, mentioned some of the challenges faced by Theoretical Physicists as the same faced generally by other scientists. Professor Adebayo stated that although, doing a theoretical work does not require large equipment to work with, some simulations could not be done on normal laptops or desktop computers as several millions of calculations are needed to be performed in a matter of seconds/minutes. Therefore, faster machines, known as Clusters or High Performance Clusters are required. He described clusters as very fast and accurate computer machines, which could do millions of calculations within seconds, stressing that to have access to clusters, one would need to scout abroad as there is no university or Centre that has it in Nigeria. According to him, "We have to scout around the world to see where they have clusters and beg to use it for few months for us to have some calculations done. From here, it is possible for me to connect to any cluster in any part of the world through the Internet and do my calculations from my table".
He, therefore, stated that the major challenges are the unavailability of clusters as well as access to it even if permission is granted from abroad. "If there is no power and Internet, we won't be able to connect or access the clusters over there", he noted. Using clusters is like someone giving you access to his/her research equipment as a single cluster could costs up to USD40,000 but several scientists can use this single cluster. Professor Adebayo added that part of the challenge is being unable to access online journals. His words; "If you are into Theoretical Physics or you are in Mathematics and you don't have access to online journals in realtime, you cannot move as much as you should move". On the folding up of industries in the country and the ways to mitigate against it, he said the erratic power supply in the country should quickly be fixed to forestall further closure. According to him, if power is not fixed in the country, there is no way the nation could move forward industrially.
Professor Adebayo bagged a B.Sc. degree in Physical Sciences in 1992 from FUNAAB; M.Sc. Physics (Condensed Matter Physics) in 1997 from the University of Ibadan and Ph.D. Physics (Condensed Matter Physics) in 2005 also from the University of Ibadan with a year Sandwich Programme at the Free University, Berlin, Germany during the Ph.D. programme; He was a Scholar to the German Academic Exchange Services (DAAD); and at various times, Junior Associate and Regular Associate of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste (ICTP), Italy; and he was a Royal Society of London International Incoming Visitor in 2007 at The School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland. He has participated in scientific activities of the ICTP at various levels from 1997 till date, among others.

Police: Man tried to lure 6-year-old girl to car on NW Side
CHICAGO (SUN TIMES MEDIA WIRE) - Police are searching for a man who tried to lure a 6-year-old girl to a car Sunday evening in the Union Ridge neighborhood on the Northwest Side.
The girl spotted a car pull up to her about 5:20 p.m. while she was running south in the 5400 block of North Neenah, according to a community alert from Chicago Police.
The white man driving the vehicle said, "Are you ok? Do you want some candy? Come to the car and get in." When the driver became aware of the girl's brother's presence, he drove away east, police said. The girl went home with her two brothers and told her mother, who then called 911.
The suspect is described as a white man, between 50 and 60 years old, with a bald head with gray hair on the sides, police said. He was wearing prescription eye glasses and a gray t-shirt. The car is described as a silver or gray, four-door Nissan.
Anyone with information on the attempted child luring is asked to contact Area North detectives at (312) 744-8200.

Clever brewers scoop two accolades for smoky stout
WEXFORD based Drew Fox Brewing scooped a silver medal prize for their Clever Man Ejector Seat Turf Smoked Stout at the Alltech Beer and Food Fair held in Dublin earlier this month.
The judges said: 'It's hard to be innovative in an industry as ancient as making beer, but that's what Drew Fox Brewing has done with their Turf Smoked Stout. The stout has a big complex, smoky, chocolate flavour with reminders of a turf fire.'
The Dublin Craft Beer Cup is a unique competition, which allows craft brewers to showcase their brews to have them rated, tasted and analysed by an expert, international panel of judges. Entrants are critiqued based on appearance, aroma, flavour, body, style and quality. Local brewery owners Malcolm and Andrea Molloy are delighted with their win and celebrated with their head brewer Lee Farling.
In a double coup, Georgina Campbell's Ireland guide featured Clever Man Ejector Seat Turf Smoked Stout as their beer of the month. Kristen Jensen, co-author of Slainte! The complete Guide To Irish Craft Beers and Ciders wrote about their award winning stout.
The Molloys, who are Wexford Food Family members, are very excited about the reviews and success they are having with beers.

SW residents want temporary shuttle to become permanent
Saturday, July 17, 2010
Riders of a free shuttle bus that operated in a Southwest Washington neighborhood for 18 months as a way to offset the hardship that construction posed to pedestrians are asking District officials to find money to restore the service, which ended June 30.
The Shuttle-Bug operated between G and M streets SW, from Sixth Street to a little past Third Street, providing service to thousands of residents in that area. One of them, Barbara Tillman, said the shuttle had become "the heartbeat" of the community for many low-income and elderly residents. "In many respects, it was vital," she said.
Beth Paulson, founder of the Southwest Action Team, a community organization that helped initiate the shuttle service, said her group has collected about 500 letters in support of resuming the Shuttle-Bug, including one from an assistant D.C. police chief.
"We have testimonials," Paulson said. "People not only signed [a form letter], but they put heartfelt statements."
Even so, city officials said, a resumption of the service is unlikely.
D.C. Council member Tommy Wells (D-Ward 6) said the shuttle service was created to mitigate the impact of the construction where the old Waterside Mall was. It is now home to an office tower and grocery store. Wells negotiated with a couple of developers, including Waterfront Associates, to help pay for the bus.
"Fourth Street is now wonderful and well-lit," Wells said. "The original reason is gone."
He said he understands residents advocating for neighborhood-based transportation. But, Wells said, "I think that getting the city to fund [a shuttle] for one neighborhood where there is no extenuating circumstance would be extremely difficult because funds are limited."
The construction work was finished this year, but the service continued because additional money was available to pay for it, Wells said. Those funds ran out last month.
Mafara Hobson, a spokeswoman for Mayor Adrian M. Fenty (D), said the Shuttle-Bug was expected to run only until Fourth Street opened. Now that it has, Hobson said, "the agreement is met."
Frances Wade, 67, a former shuttle rider, said she sent letters to Wells and City Administrator Neil O. Albert.
Wade said she rode the shuttle to the Metro, going to and from work. Now, instead of catching a ride in the air-conditioned, 13-passenger bus, Wade, who has a breathing condition, said she is winded as she walks the five blocks to the Metro station.
"We truly miss it," she said. "I sure hope that we can get it going again."
Paulson said her group and other tenant associations in the neighborhood are seeking about $185,000 to resume the service for 12 months while they try to locate other funding.
Paulson said there appears to be "disparity" in how neighborhoods are being treated with the allocation of funds.
"Look at what is going into H Street," she said. "They have a free shuttle bus. We're just saying, 'What about us?' "
Paulson cited numerous reasons she thinks the Shuttle-Bug service should be resumed. A survey conducted by George Mason University students found that one-third of participants said they took the shuttle for safety reasons. Twenty-five percent said they have difficulty walking, and nearly two-thirds said they do not own a car or do not drive.
"This bus is independence and freedom for a lot of people," Paulson said.

'I totally and specifically refute the allegations' - Adams breaks silence on claim he sanctioned murder
Gerry Adams has 'totally and and specifically refuted' allegations that he was consulted over the murder of Denis Donaldson.
In his first interview since the airing of a BBC 'Spotlight' investigation broadcast on Tuesday night Mr Adams didn't rule out taking legal action over the allegations.
Mr Donaldson was killed by a shotgun blast in April 2006 as he opened the door to his cottage in Glenties, Donegal.
He was in hiding after being outed as a British agent of nearly 20 years.
The IRA denied his murder at the time, but the BBC spoke to a man who claims to be a former IRA member who was recruited as an agent by RUC Special Branch, identified only as 'Martin'.
- Read More: Adams sanctioned the killing of British spy, claims former IRA man
- Read More: Background: Donaldson sparked speculation over 'Stormont spy ring'
He told the programme he knew personally that Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams sanctioned the killing.
Spotlight said they understood Gerry Adams had stepped aside from the IRA army council in 2006, but according to Martin "he is consulted in all matters"
Speaking to Louth radio station LMFM Mr Adams said: "I do totally and specifically refute the allegations that I was consulted."
Mr Adams said he had not seen the broadcast but had read subsequent media reports about it.
Asked if he would take legal action over the programme Mr Adams said that would be "very difficult".
"They probably are covered legally because I understand they carried my denial.
He continued: "When I get the chance and I am able to I will challenge the comments and allegations."
Mr Adams was asked by host Michael Reed if he felt his reputation was damaged by the broadcast.
"I haven't thought about it, I haven't seen the broadcast. I'm annoyed. I represent the people of county Louth along with Imelda Munster on behalf of Sinn Féin and we do so diligently. If there are questions to be asked about me or of me, yes the journalists are entitled to ask and to put those questions and I don't run away from that."
Mr Adams, who is travelling to the Ploughing Championship in Co Offaly today, described the information as "lurid".
Asked if he regarded Mr Donaldson as a traitor, Mr Adams said: "I'm very philosophical. I don't categorise anyone."
Taoiseach Enda Kenny was asked about the allegation that Mr Adams sanctioned the murder of Mr Donaldson..
"I think there are elements of Gerry Adams' past that only he can answer and I think that question should be asked of him."
Mr Kenny added: "I have no verification of the claim made by a former IRA member. There are issues of Gerry Adams' past that only he can deal with.
"If he wants to deal with the truth, and explain everything, he should do so."
He was asked if the latest allegations against the Sinn Féin leader should hasten Mr Adams' departure from national politics.
Mr Kenny repeated: "Clearly there are areas of Gerry Adams' past that only he can explain and I'm sure he'll respond to this allegation also".

'What does it take to become a hero?
'Albert has escaped from the Adelaide Zoo to go in search of the "old Australia", somewhere in the desert, north of Adelaide, a "Promised Land" that he's heard so much about from other animals. Unusually, Albert is a duck-billed platypus.
'Four days north of Alice Springs and carrying nothing other than an old, almost empty soft-drink bottle, Albert has no idea where he's going. One thing he does know, though, if he doesn't find water fast, he's going to be in all sorts of trouble. But when all seems lost, he comes across a wombat by a campfire who offers him a cup of tea.
'And so begins Albert's adventures, during which he meets two drunk, wise-cracking bandicoots (Roger and Alvin), a wrestling Tasmanian Devil (called Muldoon), escapes from a burning hotel (set alight by his good friend the pyromaniac wombat Jack) after a very lucky streak at two-up, and runs for his life from the dingoes.
'Charming, funny and entrancing, Albert of Adelaide is a novel of mateship, adventure and honour.' (From the publisher's website.)

"I feel like it's always raining in our songs, that bittersweetness. . . . We surrender too easily to the blues. We, if we're not careful, are bleeding all over the world."

text: Observations about the con: 1. For the first time, security was really strict about sitting down in the outside hallway. You had to stand or try sitting in an area with no direct walking traffic. 2. The hottness level of booth babes was the highest I've ever seen. 3. There were a lot more female fans as well. Not sure if it was because of Twilight, or just boyfriends dragging along their girlfriends. For all of the guys in the latter group, I hate you all. 4. If you want to get into Preview Night next year, you better buy the 4 Day badge WITH Preview Night ASAP. They're going to be selling a 4 Day badge with and without the option. I already bought mine at the con, and they were the same price. On to the pics! Some exclusives swag I bought. PM me if anything interests you. Thursday: Arrived a little late. In line here to pick up my badge, and caught G4 interviewing Blanka. Only at SDCC could you see this without being high. Going up the escalator. Took this artsy photo. Insert vagina joke here. Snaking my way through the line. Archie Panel After getting my badge, I got into the Archie panel halfway through. If you haven't heard, a "future" story is coming out where Archie marries Veronica. Someone asked the writer why doesn't Archie choose Betty? He said (paraphrasing) "Sometimes the most respectful, trustworthy, loyal, and perfect one for you is staring you in the face, and you don't even realize it. Archie is still fairly young in this story, and thus he still isn't thinking with his heart, and does what most of us would do, and makes the juvenile choice." The panel then showed some pictures featuring Veronica, one in a bikini. Another woman whispered to her friend "That's why Archie chose her." Star Wars Lego Panel I'm not a die hard fan of Legos, but figured I'd try to get a freebie and hear about their upcoming book showcasing them. It was full of kids and their parents. An interesting note is that Star Wars legos are the only brand to have non-yellow figures. They have the exclusive license to flesh colored legos. I thought about being politically correct and asking "Whom's flesh color are we talking about here?" but let the kids ask questions instead. When the book comes out, it's going to come with a brand new figure that was unveiled at this panel. They had kids guess the figure, the prize being the book when it's released. It happened like this: Lady Announcer: "Who do you think it is?" Boy 1: "A ghost." Lady: "Be more specific." Boy 1: "Ghost yoda." Lady: "Ok. How about you?" Girl: "Luke Skywalker." Lady: "Be more specific." Girl: "Long haired Luke Skywalker." Lady: "Ok, last one. What do you think?" Boy 2: "Darth Maul." Lady: "Be more specific." Boy 2: "Darth Maul without his shirt." Drum roll please, for a terrible pic... A guy near me said "That was a good guess. A little too good...". My sentiments exactly. Started walking around a bit. These lanterns could have been yours if you were brave enough to face a riot (I was not). Chris Giarusso's booth. This is the original art/prototype for the above print. Bruce Timm art. He'll be back in a bit. Him doing a button sized sketch for someone. Took a break. While they've always been allowed, this is the first time I've seen an eye-seeing dog. This was supposed to say "Have a beautiful San Diego Day." Batman costume from Morrison's run. Friday Image Panel Forgot my camera with a friend . 2 little things I haven't seen mentioned in online transcripts. 1. I think it was Todd McFarlane basically saying Tyreese has a good comic coming out called "Mayhem", and wanted to give it a shot at Image. Kirkman then said "He also promised to introduce me to Megan Fox." 2. At Tyreese's request, Jim Lee stopped by really quick as a surprise guest since he'll be doing a cover for it. Jim said "Unfortunately I can't stay, I have a signing at the DC comics booth at 12PM." When he said that, it was already 12:20PM. Jim Lee running late on something...why am I not surprised? Checked out the comics area, and took a picture of this dude's free poster. For the past 3 years, WB gives out huge bags. For 3 years I've seen this chick make a dress out of the one's given during the con. Bumblebee. "Please do not touch." I think he caught something when Isabel Lucas sat inside him during Transformers 2. Good Disney cosplayers. Because of the monster the con has become, some booths with exclusives have to resort to this. Some Deadpool. Bat-pod. Not sure if this was used in the movie, or just a replica. Toy Story stuff coming soon. For the Avatar movie. Guy trying to make a megaphone to shout the winning tickets for some toys. It didn't work. Some booth babes helping out. Notice the Vanessa Hudgens look-a-like on the right. Went to go wait in line for a Darwyn Cooke signing. Caught Bill Morrison, editor of Bongo Comics (anything Simpsons or Futurama related). While in line, saw Jim Steranko pimping it. Max from Sam & Max. If this Terminator was doing his job instead of kicking back, maybe T3 and T4 would have never happened. Finally, here's the man working his magic on his new GN. I told him "I've been waiting for this since you announced it last year." He said "I apologize for taking so long " Before the Darwyn Cooke magic. After the Darwyn Cooke magic. Went into the hall for a break, and saw this Pirate group playing. They were pretty good, and it made the girl in the yellow apron dance around. After they stopped playing, the old dude on the right asked for the leader, and told them to stay outside. Not sure if it's because they didn't have badges, or just to make sure they didn't stop the flow of people walking through. Lousy fascist. Checked out the Image booth quickly to check for signing times. I thought about getting the preview comic for Image United, but didn't feel like it. The next day when I said, "eh, why not?" The bastards raised the price to $10. I didn't buy it just out of principle. Checked out Phil Noto's art. He does "Infinite Horizon" from Image which is reaching Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk lateness levels. Went back to Image for a Robert Kirkman/almost every artist he's worked with signing. While waiting in line, I saw this babe. The one in green, not that thing on the left. Right before she kicked me in the groin for taking her pic. Just kidding (thankfully). I stopped paying attention to the crowd for a while, and when I turned back around, 20ft away from me is Phil Lamarr from MadTV and Futurama! Kitana babe. Spider-man hitching a ride. Hey sexies. Ruh-roh. Kirkman and crew. Checked out some of Erik Larsen's art This is not an optical illusion. He really holds the pencil like this to draw.

DH, DS and I went to Washington D.C. for three nights recently.
We got a great internet deal at L'Enfant Plaza right by the mall. Usually we stay in Virginia and take the metro into the city. The reason we got such a good deal is that the hotel itself is in desperate need of rennovation. Carpets, furniture--everything had not been upgraded in decades. However, the room was clean and the staff were friendly. It is convenient for the museums around the mall and the metro station is directly under the hotel so you don't have to go outside to access the metro. The only other problem is that it is not convenient for any restaurants within walking distance as those are usually located north of the mall near the Penn Quarter area and not near the business district by L'Enfant Plaza. On a future visit, I would want to stay elsewhere.
On our first day of arrival, it was a rainy dreary day. We hopped onto the metro after check in and went to Capital South to catch the 2:30 Supreme Court lecture. On previous trips to D.C. we had already seen the White House and Capital but never before had we been to the Supreme Court building. What an interesting building! Inside they have portraits of Supreme Court justices surrounding the walls. The lady conducting the lecture took us inside the Supreme Court chambers. She explained in great detail the seating arrangements of the justices and the attorneys as well as spectators. She explained the process by which each side gets only 30 minutes to explain their position. She explained that the justices come in well versed in the arguments at hand and are prepared with questions. She was very thorough and went on to explain the process of the reading of decisions. The lecturer also explained the friezes and architecture within the chambers. It was fascinating to take a seat in such an awe inspiring place even though no oral arguments were being presented that day.
Right across the street was the Library of Congress and we managed to catch the 3:30 tour as it just had started. Another absolutely fabulous building with magnificent architecture. I thought I was in a palace in Europe. The marble and reliefs were so wonderful. The guide made the tour very interesting with great stories for young and old. We went to view the reading rooms as part of the tour. After the tour we ventured into the Thomas Jefferson library with some surviving books dating back to his time. Other books were replicas but still fascinating. A guide told us how to access the other building and we came upon the I Love Lucy special exhibit which was quite small but fun too. A man from that building said the Lucy exhibit brought more visitors there than any other exhibit.
After those two wonderful places, we were quite hungry and I had read about Cava Mezze here on the boards which was close to the Capital South area. The meal was good. We walked to the Eastern Market metro and went back to L'Enfant Plaza for the night.
On our next full day we left early for the Newseum. I absolutely love this place. Although Washington D.C. is loaded with free museums, this particular one is private so they charge admission but it is well worth it. They have a section of the Berlin Wall. They have the radio transmitter from the World Trade Center. They have newspaper articles and headlines from all over the world dating as far back as the 1500's. You can spend all day in that section alone. The highlight for my DS was being a reporter as he read from the teleprompter. Of course, you get to purchase the skit afterwards. They have four different things to choose from--the weather, white house news, capital news and Supreme Court news and each one provides a different background for your report. Very interactive and a lot of fun. They also have games on ethics that you play against other guests. They have individual computer kiosks with more games. You can spend a whole day here.
We had lunch right next door at the Wolfgang Puck restaurant the Source. The food was quite good. It was also very crowded even though it was late. In the late afternoon we ventured over to the National Gallery and spent some time there admiring their great works. For dinner we decided to order in a pizza at the hotel which was delivered to the lobby.
Next day we went to Ford's Theater in the morning and then onto the International Spy Museum. I was going to skip that one but DS saw it and saw the line and wanted to go in so we joined the line. I wish we had skipped it. They herd you in like cattle and you don't have time to enjoy the exhibits because there is another group of people in the elevator after you coming into the small exhibit space. If it were less crowded maybe my view of it would be different. DS liked going through the vents and coming out the other side and he seemed to enjoy it more than we did. We had a fabulous lunch at Zatinya. That was the best meal of the trip. We spent the rest of the afternoon at the Renwick Gallery and caught a tour. I thought it was fabulous. DS and DH were not as impressed. We weren't that hungry for dinner so again we just ordered some snacks to bring back to the room.
On our last day we went to see the new Martin Luther King monument. It was nice. My favorite ones are the Jefferson Memorial and the Roosevelt Memorials which we didn't cover this time around. We stopped off at the Goddard Space Center in Maryland and DS had a wonderful time there. He caught an activity that they were doing making rockets and seeing which ones could fly the distance to hit a target. He really liked the space center. They have different kiosks with educational information. it is a small place but they pack a lot of information in it.
All in all, it was a wonderful few days spent in the capital city.

text: Human Rights Observatory Immigration Debate Limits Britain's Refugee Response Compared to many other European countries, Britain has agreed to accept a relatively small number of Syrian refugees. Just over a thousand have arrived - and some are being resettled in remote corners of the country. It takes an hour by ferry to cross the North Atlantic swell from Glasgow to the windswept island of Bute in Scotland – the very northwestern tip of Britain. For more than 40 refugees in December, it was the last leg of a journey that took them from their homes...Read complete article© Voice of America - Wednesday, February 10, 2016

President Obama's pick for director of the White House Office of Management and Budget is Jacob Lew -- nickname, Jack. He's going to be a familiar face to many Senators asking him questions today. He was OMB director for President Clinton.
Marketplace's John Dimsdale reports.
JOHN DIMSDALE: The OMB director is responsible for the president's budget. And that will automatically provoke administration critics.
But Larry Haas, who worked with Lew at OMB, says he's well-liked in Congress.
LARRY HAAS: But there's no question Republicans will see his nomination hearings as an opportunity to focus attention on big deficits of the last few years, health care reform and the like.
Among Lew's challenges will be improving morale in the office. In the latest rankings of the best places to work in government, OMB dropped from third best to 25th.
Gary Bass is with OMB Watch.
GARY BASS: Jack will come in with much stronger management skills and probably give much greater support to the civil service staff to do their work.
Senators will ask why Lew got almost a million dollar bonus when he left Citibank in 2009. That was after Citi got $50 billion in taxpayer help. At least one Republican wants to know if those are connected.
In Washington, I'm John Dimsdale for Marketplace.

What is Mold-Free Food?
If you have allergies to molds, you may experience a negative reaction to foods containing mold spores.
Many foods, like blue cheese, for example, contain high levels of mold (either Penicillium roquefourti or Penicillium glaucum).
Food Sources of Mold
The common food sources of mold include:
- Cheese
- Mushrooms
- Vinegar and foods containing vinegar, such as salad dressing, catsup, and pickles
- Sour cream, sour milk, and buttermilk
- Meat or fish more than 24 hours old
- Breads and other food made with yeast
- Sauerkraut
- Pickled and smoked meats and fish
- Dried fruits such as dates, prunes, figs, and raisins
- Soy sauce
- Hot dogs, sausages
- Canned juices
When Mold is Dangerous to Your Health
While most molds pose little issue for most individuals, some forms of mold are highly toxic and produce cancer-causing compounds called mycotoxins.
The most notable of the mycotoxins is aflatoxin, which has been found to cause liver cancer.

Family members of Sergeant Anthony Maddox were greeted by dozens of Southeast Texans as they arrived at the front door of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church Saturday for the funeral of the fallen soldier.
Some of those gathered had their hands over their hearts, many were holding American flags showing how grateful they are for the young man who made the ultimate sacrifice.
The Patriot Guard lined each entrance of the church.
The mayor of Port Arthur, where Maddox lived with his mother, also came to give thanks.
"I'm not here as a city official, I'm actually here to support this family, and I thank God for this community who has done the same thing," said Mayor Deloris Prince.
During the service, speakers included an Army commander who shared memories other soldiers had of Sgt. Maddox, including a time when the young fuel specialist saved thousands of gallons of oil from spilling out of a truck onto the desert floor.
Congressman Randy Weber was also in attendance. He gave an emotional speech, tearing up at one point when he said he has 'unspeakable gratitude' for those who protect our country.
After the service, the Honor Guard carried the Sergeant's body out of the church.
It was then placed in the hearse and draped with flowers, a highly emotional moment for Maddox's mother.
The Patriot Guard then led a procession through the streets of Beaumont, heading west, where Sgt. Maddox would be laid to rest at Houston National Cemetery.

The Meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm by OCBA co-presidents Cynthia Speed and Chris Apple.
Refreshments were available and there was a brief discussion of the past month's OCBA member's hive observations.
David Eckert mentioned the Newbee Mentor Program and emphasized the importance of listing your apiary location on the map – or updating an existing entry with 2015 current information. It is such a great resource and thank you to all who took the time to do so this past month. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Lewis Cauble made reference to the NC Grower Survey – just 9 short questions to answer. It was mentioned at the Spring State Meeting. He said that NC is the forerunner in this survey with SC not showing much effort at this point. He can send you the document upon request.
Cynthia & Chris read a heartfelt Thank You note from Lisbeth for the honey bee cuff bracelet the club gave to her for her many years of dedication to the OCBA in the secretary capacity.
The Field Day for the Bee School is coming up on March 28th. There are 70 students enrolled so extra support from experienced Beekeepers is welcome to encourage new beekeepers to get some hands on experience. Email Randall Austin for the start time and directions if you are able to join in as a much needed, seasoned beekeeper.
Dick Merritt informed us that membership renewals are now due. It's that time of year so please renew so we can keep the books straight and the badges up to date.
Cynthia told us that the State Summer meeting will be held July 9-12 at the Junaluska Conference Center (https://www.lakejunaluska.com) near Asheville. She strongly suggests that we sign up soon for hotels. If you haven't been to a state meeting yet, this will be a good one as the location is beautiful. Lewis Cauble shared with us that Dr. Jim Tew Beekeeping Specialist, Alabama Cooperative (www.tbhsbywam.com/author), will be speaking as will Wyatt A. Mangum (Ph.D.) who is an internationally-known, top-bar hive beekeeper, a professor at the University of Mary Washington in Virginia and has written a monthly column for American Bee Journal for years. And as a bonus, Tom Steeger, US EPA Office of Pesticide Program and David Tarpy secured Peter Rosengrantz for the 2017 meeting. He wrote Lewis's favorite mite report.
Don Hopkins addressed the recent news that Oxalic Acid has been approved by EPA as a treatment for varroa mites. https://www.regulations.gov/contentStreamer?objectId=0900006481a386df&disposition=attachment&contentType=pdf
He stressed that now that it is registered as a pesticide we need to follow the label closely. The label is the law. A paper is going to be put out on details. Wait for the label to be published as for timing and mixture. You cannot use it with brood in the hive so there is a very, narrow window for use. Please be careful.
At 7:17 Adolphus Leonard, NC Apiary Inspector, was introduced to discuss Small Scale Queen Rearing. His session was both informative and entertaining.
He emphasized that you should:
Make sure queen stock comes from good brood laying patterns
Graft Larvae of the right age
Chose well fed larvae
Provide plenty of nurse bees, pollen & honey
Ensure that Drones come from good stock
And most importantly, Have fun!
He suggested we read up on Sue Cobey's Cloake Board method of queen rearing.
The meeting adjourned at 8:35pm.
Respectfully submitted by Jan Rogers, OCBA Club Secretary
