The 2013 Brewers Plate will be our sixth annual spring feast celebrating local, sustainable food and craft beer. It is an fundraising and popular education event that awards its net procees to not for profits and charities promoting local, sustainable food and farming in Ontario. The event is produced by Ecotone Productions in association with the Catalyst Centre, a registered charity.
It started in 2008 as a project of Green Enterprise Toronto (GET), in partnership with Slow Food Toronto and Local Food Plus (LFP). Paul DeCampo of Slow Food and Mike Schreiner from LFP (now leader of the Green Party of Ontario) worked closely with Chris Lowry of GET to create the event. They reached out to the chefs, brewers and food artisans for advice, especially Jamie Kennedy who has been a champion of regional and wild foods for many years. We were inspired by the example of a beer event in Philadelphia called the Brewers Plate, a project of Judy Wicks' White Dog Café Foundation and the Sustainable Business Network.
Following Jane Jacobs' dictum that new ideas love old buildings, we held the first Brewers Plate in the wonderful Berkeley Church. For the second and third years we moved to a more spacious and equally historic, gorgeous venue, Hart House at U of T, with the help of Slow Food maven Arlene Stein. In 2011 we moved again to a larger space with several additional advantages, the wonderful Wychwood Barns. When Green Enterprise Toronto became Green Enterprise Ontario (GEO) in 2010, the Brewers Plate became a project of Ecotone and the focus of the fundraiser shifted directly to benefit the food and farming sector in the Toronto region. Chris Lowry teamed up with Frances Pairaudeau, who has served as our highly effective and gracious Event Manager for since 2010. Fran's track record as an event producer includes being Marketing and Development Director for the prestigious English National Ballet.
The promotion of local, slow, wild and sustainable food has deep roots in this city. It grows from seeds that were planted and inspiring meals shared over the last twenty years or so, to bring us to this extraordinarily fertile and positive time in the local food and farming movement here in Toronto. Chris Lowry first learned about it in the late 80s through a magazine that he helped to create, called the Journal of Wild Culture. Back in 1988 they were talking about foraging for wild food with Hank Hedges, they published recipes and interviews with Michael Stadtlander, Jamie Kennedy, and Chris Klugman, and they did a photo essay documenting the very first Feast of the Fields, complete with manifesto.
In 2006 before launching the sustainable business network that became Green Enterprise Toronto (GET), Lowry hired Innovolve to conduct some research in Toronto, a needs assessment survey of about 300 of the most progressive business owners in the city called "How to Grow the New Economy." Overall, the businesses surveyed demonstrated a very strong commitment to the environment as part of their daily operations. Respondents represented diverse sectors of the economy, but it was really interesting that 1 in 4 of them described their area of business activity as food & beverage.
It makes sense that these are the early adopter green entrepreneurs -- for many of us, environmental awareness starts with food, and the food and beverage sector is enormously attractive to green entrepreneurs for many good reasons.
GET wanted to serve this large part of its constituency, and to build the local living economy movement through food, as many of our successful local living economy networks are doing elsewhere. But GET wanted to be sure that it could add value and support the amazing work of many organizations that were already thriving in Toronto when we were just getting started - the Brewers Plate was an answer to that. GET work with LFP and Slow Food to do it. It adds a spring event to the local food calendar and links local sustainable gastronomy with our independent craft breweries, in an effort increase the cultural and market profile of independently made craft beer.
Food is the harbinger of where we all need to go now.
The future lies increasingly in regional self-reliance all over the world, with local living economies trading fairly, useful, durable goods, food, and good low-carbon ideas.
A shift toward regional self reliance, with food leading the way for the whole economy, is our best chance to stem the rising tides of changing weather and rivers, diminishing fossil fuels, scarcities of fresh water, fish, soil - what many are now calling 'peak everything'.

Mortgage Applications Increase Slightly In Latest MBA Weekly Survey |
October 1, 2007 |
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) latest Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending October 12, 2007 found a modest increase in loan applications.
This week's results include an adjustment to account for the Columbus Day holiday. The Market Composite Index, a measure of mortgage loan application volume, was 656.3, an increase of 0.7 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from 652.0 one week earlier. On an unadjusted basis, the Index decreased 9.3 percent compared with the previous week and was up 0.7 percent compared with the same week one year earlier.
The Refinance Index decreased 1.1 percent to 1980.9 from 2003.2 the previous week and the seasonally adjusted Purchase Index increased 2.1 percent to 429.1 from 420.2 one week earlier. On an unadjusted basis, the Purchase Index decreased 7.9 percent to 370.2 from 401.9 the previous week. The seasonally adjusted Conventional Index increased 0.3 percent to 937.5 from 934.8 the previous week, and the seasonally adjusted Government Index increased 3.9 percent to 187.5 from 180.5 the previous week.
The four week moving average for the seasonally adjusted Market Index is down 0.6 percent to 649.8 from 654.0. The four week moving average is down 1.3 percent to 419.9 from 425.6 for the Purchase Index, while this average is up 0.2 percent to 1990.2 from 1985.5 for the Refinance Index.
The refinance share of mortgage activity decreased to 45.3 percent of total applications from 46.2 percent the previous week. The adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) share of activity decreased to 13.5 from 13.6 percent of total applications from the previous week.
The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages remained unchanged at 6.40 percent, with points increasing to 1.04 from 1.00 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent loan-to-value (LTV) ratio loans.
The average contract interest rate for 15-year fixed-rate mortgages increased to 6.09 from 6.03 percent, with points decreasing to 1.03 from 1.12 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent LTV loans.
The average contract interest rate for one-year ARMs increased to 6.17 from 6.15 percent, with points increasing to 0.94 from 0.92 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent LTV loans.

Does linux execute threads of a process in parallel?
I'm beginning to wonder if Linux actually runs threads of a process in parallel without affecting the other thread? Why, because I took an app that added threads in Windows and got a 40% increase in speed and adding Linux threading there was 0% increase. Basically a ResetEvent, CreateEvent, and WaitForSingleObject function was created and conditional preprocessor defines used so the same core code executed under Window also executes under Linux. Now, how this works is there are three threads, one for the GUI update (idle for the most part but wakes up every 1 second to update GUI), the next is the main processing thread that does a fair amount of CPU intensive operations on data, the final one is one that simply reads data from the hard drive. So while thread 2 is busy, thread 3 goes and reads the next data to a buffer, and then when ready, thread 2 checks if the data is ready or it has to wait (pthread conditions), checking this I find that 95% of the time the data has already been read and ready for use (memcpy instead of needing to read from hard drive), however, the processing time is always the same, this is reading in about 18G of data. Doesn't make any since. I saw via htop that the two threads could sometimes use the same CPU as Linux moved them around, however, I later set the affinity of each thread to run on their own CPU (dual core) and see in htop that it sticks, but same result, no improvement, So I'm starting to wonder if Linux isn't running things in parallel, but instead only running one thread in a process per some time period?? Kernel is 188.8.131.52 SMP i686. Anyone have any ideas?

well I timed the code with both sections, if using threading it was around 151 seconds and just reading 152 seconds, so perhaps linux was doing read-ahead on the data being read so it was already cached.

Linux definitely parallels threads assuming there are cores to do so. However, since Linux deals with I/O much more efficiently than Windows (generally), you may not see as much of a speed up, depending upon your application. Try it with CPU-intensive operations and you will probably see a (almost) 2x speedup in performance of 2 vs. 1 threads. I/O is still gated on the I/O sub-system in many cases, though Linux does aggressive I/O caching, much more so than Windows.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!

Just turned 22. It's really starting to feel more weird every year.
It's also the first time ever that i'm really starting to feel old.
Seems like the years are passing by like nothing. It's all going
so fast all of a sudden. But the thing that bugs me the most is
the fact that i'm still at the same point in life i was 3-4 years
ago. It's like i'm not getting anywhere. But i'm seeing all these
other people achieve amazing things. I know it's up to myself to
actually do something about it. But it's not like i have'nt tried.
Just feeling pretty worthless at this point. (: Happy birthday to
me i guess.

Lane II
I just want to introduce myself. My name is Lane and I have been battling appliances for 15 years now. I worked for a local Whirlpool dealer straight out of high school for 6 years. Seeking more money I started my own repair business and have been at it for 9 years. I work out of my home and do pretty well for my fam with it. Problem is I have been basically doin it blind with just wiring diagrams(if provided). Whenever I get into a bind I always turn to the net and seem to always end up here. So today i took the plung on the 99 year membership because its a hell of a bargain for help with service manuals and when I get stumped. Even though I've been doing this for awile I still consider myself green and learn new things every day. I look forward to learning, exchanging problems and solutions with all of you, and I also have plenty of stories to share. C u all around! |

The wanton hubris of the ruling class.... the answer... more government.... brilliant... http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/362166/sebelius-i-dont-work-people-who-want-me-resign-nro-staff "My goal is to actually get the website up and running," she told reporters. "The majority of people calling for me to resign I would say are people who I don't work for and who do not want this program to work in the first place. I have had frequent conversations with the president and I have committed to him that my role is to get the program up and running and we will do just that." A group of 33 House Republicans on Wednesday sent a letter to President Obama calling for her resignation. "The scope of the problem is so great that, were this a private company or military command, the CEO or general would have been fired," they wrote. "We are, therefore, calling on you to hold Secretary Sebelius accountable for the fiasco that is HealthCare.gov and ask for her resignation."
Whether anyone thinks she should or shouldn't resign, she did make it very clear that she considered the 300+ million subordinate to her and her boss, not the other way around.
Well yes SHE DOES work of people who want her fired. I don't understand liberals who are not disturbed by the dictator attitude in display by this administration.
Feel fortunate that you can't understand how they think. It means you aren't mentally deficient and afflicted with their disease. Which is most certainly proven to be now--a true mental disorder.
I'm on my phone. Typos. Yes I think liberalism is some mental disorder. Their thinking is not rational. Adults who want socialism know it always fail but somehow believe it won't this time around. It is based on faith. Young people are just ignorant and at the mercy of their emotions.
I can sorta sympathize with her but it was very very very inartfully stated and she should clarify and apologize.
If every public official resigned because some in the other party called for it ... we'd have an awful lot of churn, don't you think?
Agreed, but that doesn't mean there aren't cases where it is warranted. Congressional hearings are under way on what is a major botch of arguably the biggest piece of legislation in US history.
And that means what. A public official appointed by a Democratic president should resign because some Republicans want her to? Is that how this govt is supposed to work? If a couple of dozen Democrats call for Scalia to step down, does he have to do it, because he works for us?
No one is arguing that. When one of your employees (in the theoretical sense here) tell you they don't work for you, what do you think the outcome is going to be? The smart thing would be to say " I work at the pleasure of the President and we both have to answer to the American people. I am going to do everything in my power to fix this and if I can't, the President won't have to ask for my resignation, it will be tendered without hesitation." Bam. But no. This scumbag has to be a bitch and say "I don't work for you", which may technically be correct, but Congress has the power to remove the President and by extension, you.
She sucks! That and the cost of her ineptness, that will total 1+ billion dollars, are good enough reason for me. She needs to go yesterday.
It means you don't spout off in front of the cameras saying you don't serve the ones who don't like you. You serve EVERYONE!
Sorry rick, but that bolded part is moot. She is liberal--therefore accountability for competence and performance means nothing. Ineptness and pathetic performance means nothing when you are affiliated with the sack in the WH and his regime.

'Fringe': John Noble & Anna Torv talk William Bell, Blair Brown, alternate universes
"Fringe" is all new this week with a very Walter/Observer-centric episode, which Olivia has a big part in too (apart from Walter though). In honor of that, I thought we should spend a little quality-time with the two actors behind the roles.
In his clip below, John Noble drops the news that he and a certain special someone have already filmed scenes together, so Walter and that VIP will be face-to-face on-screen pretty soon.
Plus, he's got some pretty interesting things to say about Blair Brown, it's kind of awesome.
As for Anna Torv, she's being somewhat "cheeky" as Noble would say, but still very cute and she teases to tonight's events…
"Fringe" airs Thursday at 9 p.m. on FOX

Korbi, I love your column, but I liked it much better before it became 90% video clips. I don't always have the time to watch the video for the 5 second sound bite that made it worthwhile. Giving us all the detail and the option to watch the video would be a best of both worlds option in my opinion.
Korbi I love your videos please don't stop doing them.
hey Korbi, great videos, I just missed the episode tonight because some jerks hijacked the dorm TV so this really filled the void
one question...how did you get to go on the Fringe set and is it easy to do?
so old they looks.I like this.
I loved its good to know that from you. Thanks a lot for that.I heard something same but wasn't aware of it for sure so I actually wanted to know about it.
Yes! Walter's gonna meet Bell! Thanks :D
This is a great piece. Very thought provoking. I like the sort of ending that leaves it opn to personal input. Makes it work for just about everyone I think. Nicely done! I ��ll subscribe.
Thanks so much for sharing this on your blog. It was a great post and a pleasure meeting you.
Hey Korbi I'm a big fan of your column but unfortunatly don't have access to your videos at the office. It would be great as S.J. Martin says that the Interviews on the videos where written down also. This is just an extra feature that would be great. Love, Isa...

Watch the Video: Jason Sudeikis Talks Skinny Jeans, SNL Fashion, and the Sexiest Thing a Woman Can Wear
Jul 15, 2013 @ 4:30 pm
Jason Sudeikis stars in our "Man of Style" feature in the new August InStyle issue starring his fiance Olivia Wilde on the cover (great coincidence, eh?). After photographer Dusan Reljin snapped away at the SNL funnyman for the five-page spread (which included an splash-in-the-face action shot), he sat down with InStyle.com to dish out style advice in this behind-the-scenes video, from SNL fashion to getting a man into skinny jeans to the sexiest thing a woman can wear. "If the picture's good, it doesn't matter what the frame is," he says of women's style. "I'm very fortunate to have, for my taste and for many others, a great picture. So it doesn't really matter what she wears. On the rare occasion, nothing at all works just as well!" Watch the video above for more with the We're the Millers actor and then read our entire exclusive interview by picking up the new InStyle, available now on newsstands and tablet download.

A friend posted this interview between Steven Cox and Scott Wolniak on the ol' FB. I thought I'd repost an excerpt here.
HUNTED PROJECTS presents Chicago based artist Scott Wolniak.
Scott is currently a tutor within the Visual Arts department of the University of Chicago, where his multi disciplinary practice expands upon the realms of installation, painting, sculpture and video. With references to both destruction and humor, his past experience of being an art handler shines through with sculptural and painterly works that suggest the purposeful mishandling of materials. This being made particularly clear through his video work The Ratio of Effort to Effect (2010), which in a tongue in cheek manner, explores the ever so common mishandling of art work, done in a manner that hints at Wolniak's appreciation of the absurdist comedy of Steve Martin. In all, Wolniak's rounded practice explores the cockamamie, poking fun through the purposeful use of humble materials, whilst simultaneously rationalising conscious bad craftsmanship as a by product of expressionism.
Can you tell HUNTED PROJECTS about yourself and your creative background?
SW: I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Chicago. I studied Painting and Drawing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and did my MFA in Studio Art at the University of Illinois at Chicago. After finishing my BFA in 1995 I spent five years working as a truck driving art handler, which introduced me to important social and logistical aspects of the art world. I opened an alternative exhibition space in my garage called Suitable Gallery in '99, which was in operation for 5 years. It was a positive experience; we did many great shows with great artists. My studio is now in this same finished and heated garage that used to be Suitable. After completing my MFA in 2002, I began part time teaching at SAIC and, in 2007, began my current full time teaching appointment in the Department of Visual Art at the University of Chicago. Teaching is a really important part of my practice and helps me to constantly reconsider my relationship to visual art.
When did your interest within the arts begin?
SW: As a kid, art was a natural form of entertainment and escape. It was always frustrating but endlessly engaging… same as now. I shield away from formal instruction and traditional techniques in favor of cartoons, material experiments and made-up imagery. I used to steal techniques and styles from classmates in elementary school. Some of my early influences were Shel Silverstein, B. Kliban and LeRoy Nieman. As a teenager I was nourished by music and record cover art. I also loved comedy, especially ridiculous, physical stuff like early Steve Martin. I decided to go to art school because nothing else really made sense… and I liked the idea of making a life doing what I was already doing anyway. I knew nothing of art history before I began school at SAIC. My 1st life-changing encounter with Art was the work of the Abstract Expressionists. I spent hours looking at DeKooning's Excavation at the Art Institute.
Can you discuss your day-to-day creative process?
SW: My studio is in my backyard. Convenience is really important to me because I like being able go to my studio any time, for any length of time, even if just to glance at something. I am in my studio every day, so the work is a constant. I have a hectic daily routine, which has required me to compartmentalize in order to sustain my practice. Nights have always been a haven of undisturbed studio time for me. Ideas come from everywhere. My work typically involves combinations of everyday life and abstract systems, explored through labor-intensive processes with humble materials. I tend to work on several things at once, shifting between conceptual projects that are primarily about planning and process-based pieces that are heavy on labor. My labor-intensive projects are probably the most enjoyable. I like to see things accumulate and transform over time. I can drop into the studio for 15 minutes or 5 hours; either is productive since it is always moving toward the same end point. As with meditation or exercise, small efforts conducted with great regularity do add up.
I listen to tons of music while working, as inspiration and background noise. I often smoke marijuana in order to trick myself perceptually. (read more)

Clean Start Challenge - Create Your Santuary & Make Me-time
This is week 2 of the Lifetime's Clean Start - check out how my Clean Start buddy Carolyn is doing in her video at MyLifetime.com.
Carolyn is one busy mom of three children, and an army wife, boy can I relate to that! Army isn't 8 to 5, it is more like 5 to 8, plus all the training, weekends, and even deployments - it takes a lot of time away from the family. Being a stay-at-home-mom isn't easy and as Carolyn has realized too, being an army wife isn't any easier! I don't think many people realize what kind of heroes our military wives are - holding down the fort at home, while their husbands are serving the country.
Some advice for Carolyn to start with:
1. Lower Your Expectations
I understand that everyone wants a certain number of things accomplished every day, but lower your own expectations so you will also feel that you ARE accomplishing things when you can check off everything on your to-do list every day. It's OK if you don't have the dinner ready and waiting every night, or the house spotless every day. When you are able to give up on your own demands for yourself, it will be easier and less stressful. Things will still need to be done, but there will always be more laundry, another diaper to change and breakfast, lunch and dinner - just remember to give yourself credit on things you do accomplish.
2. Set "Rules"
Once your daily to-do list is more scheduled it will be easier to manage. I've always had "stay-at-home-mom" rules for myself. No TV before 6PM (well, this was before there was Twitter - now my rule would probably be no Twitter before kids have been fed..), and if I didn't have dinner started at 5PM it would be either take-out, eat out or make one of my "emergency fast foods" like spaghetti & Ragu sauce that cooks fast. One could be - always do two loads of laundry on a same day. Then stick to the rules!
3. Get Kitchen Savvy
Stock up on easy dinner items that allow you to make a meal within 20 minutes or less for those days that you don't have time to cook. Learn to cook large portions of food, that you can either reheat the next day, or even freeze and eat later when the "what's for dinner" dilemma hits you at 5PM. I don't know how I would have done it if I hadn't had Rachael Ray ten years ago - watching "30 Minute Meals" was my me-time when I allowed myself to relax AND I learned to cook too! Now of course you have the whole world wide web to teach you how to cook!
4. Set Time For Yourself
It is so easy to forget yourself when you are a mom and a wife, but it is so important to have some me-time! You will be more energized -- I find I have more patience with the daily grind, and kids, and even the hubby when I have something just for myself.
My "projects" have included everything from renovating the house, sewing, working to selling things on eBay and now blogging and working from home. I think my "projects" helped me to make a schedule for each day, and the schedule helped me to organize the life and family better. Even if I didn't have anything special planned for the day, I wanted to work on my "project" for a few hours to do something that I liked, and to get the feeling that I have accomplished something important to me.
5. Create Your Own Sanctuary
I would like to challenge Carolyn (and you too!) to create your own sanctuary this week. It can be your place in the home, where you can relax (no laundry piles please!), or it can be your 30 minutes of time, just for you with your favorite book, "project", TV show - or taking a nap! Ok, start with 15 minutes, and you don't even have to do it every day. Just get started with it, and you will realize that giving yourself time, and a place to relax will make you more motivated and energized.
Next week I will be getting some tips for Carolyn on how to really get more organized - if you have any tips for her - make sure to leave them here in the comments!
Lifetime's Clean Start is a challenge where four women are making a Clean Start in their lives, and in the process, competing for $10,000. You can follow their progress through new videos every Wednesday for three months, and chat with them about behind-the-scenes details in the Clean Start Community.
I would love you to join and follow my finalist buddy Carolyn in her journey and vote for her in Lifetime's Clean Start Challenge - you could also win $1,000 for yourself! You can vote daily to win!

School of Law News
School of Law Discusses Criminal Law Reform in Iran
Posted February 27, 2011
The School of Law's Clason Speaker Series hosted Intisar Rabb, assistant professor of Law at Boston College Law School, on February 23. Rabb's lecture discussed "Internal Criticism and Legal Change in Islamic Law: Criminal Law Reform in Iran."
During her lecture, Rabb pointed out that "criminal law is one of the key areas of Islamic law's resurgence in the modern world. How does classical Islamic law apply in the contemporary world? This is an area that also implicates some of the most pressing questions given the high stakes and potential human rights consequences and thus the heightened attention in the international area."
The next Clason speaker will be Robert Tsai, professor of Law at American University Washington College of Law. Tsai will speak on March 3 in the Blake Law Center Commons at 12:00 noon. This event is free and open to the public.

paleoclimatology (pā'lē-ō-klī'mə-tŏl'ə-jē) Pronunciation Key
The scientific study of climatic conditions, along with their causes and effects, in the geologic past. These conditions are reconstructed on the basis of evidence found in the geologic record, especially in the form of glacial deposits, fossils, sediments, and rock and ice cores. Because much of the geologic record studied in paleoclimatology predates humans, this research is valuable for weighing the relative influence of human and natural causes of global climate change. It also provides test situations for computerized climate modeling systems used to predict present-day climate changes. |

Songwriters must be willing to market their own songs to be successful.

Then reach out to people who can help you. Find opportunities to show your songs. Let people know your songwriting goals. Listen to suggestions. Learn from feedback you receive.
If you want to be a professional songwriter, invest as much time and energy to songwriting as you would to any other profession. After all, it's no easier to become a songwriter than it is to become a teacher, mechanic, dental hygienist or pilot. Each requires applied study, aptitude and commitment.
Finally, whether you write songs for your own personal enjoyment or for professional ambitions, your musical voice and your songs are uniquely your own. Only you can give them life.
