ALEX Salmond has mounted an outspoken defence of Scots Makar Liz Lochhead, who has faced calls to resign after announcing publicly she had joined the SNP.
Peter A Bell's insight:
There is something very curious about the British nationalist attitude to the SNP. Can you imagine that they would have made any fuss at all had Liz Lochhead joined one of the British parties? Of course they wouldn't! So we have to ask ourselves what it is about the SNP which makes it so unacceptably "other" in the eyes of these British nationalists. It cannot be the nature of the party itself. As political parties in these islands go, the SNP is a model of democratic openness and accountability. It cannot be that the SNP is seen as some kind of fringe party. It is not only an established party of government, it is also by far the largest party in Scotland. And, indeed, the third largest party in the UK. It cannot be because the party embraces some extreme ideology. The SNP's platform is an entirely reasonable mix of policies such as might be found in any social democratic party. One might disagree with some of those policies. But one could never sensibly describe them as extreme. It surely cannot be the party's commitment to independence. After all, this too is no more than a perfectly reasonable constitutional position founded on a right to self-determination that the British state has already conceded. Again, one might hold a contrary position on the constitutional question, but so long as one allowed that the matter could only be settled according to the will of the people of Scotland, would be obliged to acknowledge that both options were legitimate political aims. The clue to why British nationalists regard the SNP with a mixture of contempt and horror is, perhaps, to be found in the fact that, while it is impossible to imagine any outrage had Liz Lochhead joined one of the British parties, it is almost as easy to imagine such a fuss being made had she joined the SSP or the Scottish Greens. The main thing that these parties have in common, aside from their support for independence, is that they are distinctly and unmistakably Scottish. They are Scottish parties. And THAT is the root of British nationalist objections. Because, in the context of British nationalist ideology, nothing that is distinctly Scottish can ever be quite proper. To the British nationalist mind, that which is distinctly Scottish is unquestionably inferior, and deeply suspect. Liz Lochhead is being slated because she has done something which is "just not British".

Forty four years ago this week, I returned to my birthplace to commence an English degree at Edinburgh University. I arrived with some trepidation: since the age of six, I had lived in England, and was imbued with a Lancashire accent and an ignorance of everyday Scots culture. I wasn't sure how I would fit in.

3D/Large Venue Projectors
Apr 25, 2012 3:57 PM, By Llanor Alleyne
Featuring a four-lamp optical system, Panasonic's PT-D12000U projector is equipped with geometric adjustment and edge-blending functions to accommodate a diverse pool of projection styles. Using the company's exclusive Detail Clarity Processor to provide realistic textures and a DLP system to resist image degradation, the projector provides native WUXGA resolution to cover full HD specifications. The four-lamp system delivers 12,000/10,000-lumen brightness that allows the projector to continue working even if one lamp goes out, while Panasonic's Dynamic Iris achieves 5,000:1 contrast without lowering the lumen brightness. Other features include 3D color management, full 10-bit picture process, an auto-cleaning robot to clean the air filter, and liquid cooling to absorb heat.
The F82 series 3-chip projector from projectiondesign is outfitted with Texas Instruments DLP technology for long lasting image quality. Available with a variety of filter sets ranging from sRGB to the optional DCI colors, the F82 series also comes with a cache of custom made projection lenses with key features that include infinitely adjustable IRIS and aperture settings, motorized zoom, and focus and shift with memory for use in multiple settings with programmed calibration. Each lens uses low dispersion (LD) and aspherical glass elements for high-quality focusing and sharpness, as well as high optical interfield contrast. Other native features are: 1080p, WUXGA, and SXGA+ resolution; brightness up to 10,000 lumens; and contrast up to 15,000:1.
Runco's 3Dimension D-73d projector integrates 3D visualization based on the company's proprietary Constant Stereoscopic Video (CSV) architecture, which uses passive-glass technology that is said to be superior to the viewer and usually only available in public theaters. Paired with Runco's 3Dimension Series passive glasses, the projector features support for all HDMI 1.4a mandatory 3D formats, including its own 3Dimension Processing system. The D-73d uses Texas Instruments DLP dual imaging and has full HD 1920x1080 resolution as well as three contrast ratio settings: Infinity:1, 20,000:1 and 10,000:1. A solid-state optical path with no lamps to replace means zero maintenance.
Designed to meet the requirements of emerging digital cinema and post production markets, SIM2's ProC4 projector partners Texas Instrument's latest 1080p DC4 DLP chipset with SIM2's ALPHAPATH die-cast engine. Using 10-bit video processing (with HD internal scaling and de-interlacing capabilities) to eliminate image artifacts, the ProC4 also offers 1920x1080 resolution, three lens options with motorized zoom and focus adjustment, brightness of 4,500 ANSI lumens, SIM2's Live Color Management that allows control of color temperature via user-defined P7 adjustments, PROC4 gamma correction to determine the system's response to the gray scale, and SIM2's EasyCinema software that offers colorimetry calibration.
Sharp's XG-PH80WN 3D projector, ideal for large venues, offers HD compatible wide-XGA native resolution and 5,600 lumens. Incorporating DL Link technology, the 3D-ready projector offers both 60Hz and 120Hz XGA (1024x768) and SVGA (800x600) sources along with WXGA sources in 1280x720 resolution with 60Hz and 120Hz down sampled. (When not being used for 3D projection, the XG- PH80WN offers full compatibility with traditional "2D" content.) With a contrast ratio of up to 2,100:1, the projector also includes a dual lamp system that provides redundant reliability—should one lamp go out performance can be maintain using the other lamp. Other features include a sealed DLP chip with interchangeable color wheel, five lens options, power H&V lens shift, and RJ-45 network connector for remote access via a web browser, diagnostics, and email sending.
Sony's VPL-FH500L is a 7,000-lumen 3LCD projector offering 2,500 contrast ratio, native WUXGA (1920x1200) resolution and up to 8,000 hours of expected lamp life. Outfitted with Sony's BrightEra technology, the projector is said to improve and maintain color purity throughout the life of the system by protecting the LCD panels against harmful UV light. Down time and maintenance costs and are reduced thanks to dual auto-switching lamps and synchronized lamp and filter replacement cycles. Featuring a wide range of inputs, an external monitor connection for the presenter's convenience, and projection capabilities such as side-by-side image projection and DICOM GSDF simulation gamma mode, the VPL-FH500L is ideal for large venue installations.

Join us for the "Aviation, the Environment and the Future" Forum During AOPA
Posted by: Kelley Welf on Nov 4, 2010
Attention Pilots!
The Lindbergh Foundation is sponsoring a special event during the AOPA Summit 2010 in Long Beach, Calif., at the Hyatt Regency, adjacent to the convention center, in the Regency Ballroom, Salon B at 10 a.m. on Nov. 12.
The forum, dubbed, "Aviation, the Environment and the Future," will provide attendees a quick, interesting taste of the leading edge of the future of general aviation.
Lindbergh Foundation Chairman Larry Williams, President and CEO of BRS Aerospace said, "This hour–long session will highlight big changes that are in the pipeline at the intersection of aviation and the environment. This intersection is at the very core of the Lindbergh Foundation's desire to encourage solutions, acknowledge progress and communicate ideas that affect general aviation."
The event is open to all attendees and includes six, 10-minute-long presentations that will give those who attend a rapid but substantive look at the advances in:
- Alternative bio-fuel for use in GA aircraft,
- Cessna's electric airplane program,
- Fuel cell and drag reduction initiatives,
- New diesel engine options,
- The company-wide environmental program at Cessna, and
- Some stage-setting general future trends that will shape the coming environment.
"The relationship between technology and our environment is one of the most important issues facing aviation, and in fact, all humankind," said John King, co-chairman of King Schools and director on the Lindbergh Foundation's Board. "For our own good and the good of society, we in the aviation industry must exercise leadership and steer the dialog and action toward a more productive approach."
The Lindbergh Foundation's Aviation Green Investment Program is a forward-looking, multifaceted effort that targets the aviation community. It encourages innovative solutions through providing research grants and facilitating significant industry initiatives, acknowledges the progress of those who have made substantial contributions through its annual awards, and communicates new and important ideas through its education programs.
Charles and Anne Lindbergh, throughout their many pioneering flights, shared a previously impossible aerial view of the effects of the advance of human population and economic development on the land, water and air. Realizing that technology was a major component of any equation describing how humanity would both advance and protect its environment, Charles Lindbergh became a very strong advocate for the environment. The Lindbergh Foundation continues this legacy.
We hope to see you there!

Oral History Program Carol Wattis Casey Interviewed by Richard Sadler and Gene Sessions 31 May 2006 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Carol Wattis Casey Interviewed by Richard Sadler and Gene Sessions 31 May 2006 Copyright © 2011 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The Utah Construction Company/Utah International Inc. Oral History Project was created to capture the memories of individuals associated with the company. Several of the interviewees are family and relatives, others are personalities involved with Utah Construction Company/Utah International Inc. and some of the company's prominent figures. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

It was conducted by Dr. Richard Sadler and Dr. Gene Sessions on May 31, 2006. In the interview, Ms. Casey shares her recollections of her family and the Utah Construction Company, which was founded by Ms. Casey"s grandfather, Edmund Orson Wattis. Lisa Largent was also present during the interview. RS: Carol, tell us a little about your early life. Where were you born and where did you grow up? CC: I was born here in San Francisco right at the beginning of World War II. I lived here all my life. I went to school here. RS: Where did you go to college? CC: I went to the University of California, Berkeley, and graduated in 1961. I went to school right here in the city day school. I did not go away to boarding school. We used to go to Salt Lake and Ogden on an annual basis—just after Christmas—to see relatives. RS: What did you do there when you went? Who did you visit? CC: Well, we rotated between driving across the Nevada and Utah deserts the day after Christmas, sometimes spending the night out in Winnemucca or Elko, depending on what time we got off. That was in the days when it was two lanes, long before the freeway, and we would go into Salt Lake City. Other times, we would take the overnight train from Oakland and come into Ogden. We usually stayed a week. So we would spend a little time in Ogden with relatives there and go down to Salt Lake and spend a little bit of time with my mother"s family. 2 RS: What did you do for fun while you were on those trips? Did you ski? CC: No, we just hung out. It was in winter. I wasn"t much of a skier. I think we went to Elko one time when I was about seven. I didn"t really like skiing that much. I had one cousin on my mother"s side who was my contemporary and I spent a lot of time with her. My cousins on my father"s side were much older. As I say, I was the youngest of those cousins by quite a bit. My brother was the next youngest. RS: Tell us about your father and your mother and their families. CC: My father was the youngest of numerous siblings. I never knew my grandfather, E.O. Wattis. He died just before my parents were married in 1934. I never knew my paternal grandmother; I"m not even sure when she died. He was the youngest. My father was born in 1899 and he was the baby of the family. I knew all of his older sisters. There was Edna; Marguerite, who was Littlefield"s mother; Ruth; Ethel; and then Mattie, who was considerably older. I didn"t know Mattie very well. I only remember meeting her several times. I knew Ruth, Marguerite, and Edna the best. Ruth and Marguerite both lived down in Southern California then, so we saw a lot more of them, and Edna was kind of all over the place. RS: What did your father do for a living? Did he grow up in Ogden? CC: He grew up in Ogden and he went, I believe, to the University of Utah before he ended up at Stanford. He graduated from Stanford; I"m not sure of the year. He was born in 1899, so he must have graduated around 1922 or 1923. Then he went to work for Utah. From the stories I have heard, he worked in Mexico on some construction jobs down there. Then he came back, and, for whatever reason, left Utah Construction and established an insurance company called General Insurance. He had one major client and an office in the Mills Building. 3 He established that office in 1938 or 1939. He and my mother moved to San Francisco from Ogden in 1938, I believe. I was born in 1939. RS: He was probably pretty comfortable coming here after having graduated from Stanford. CC: My mother started out at the University of Utah and then ended up at Berkeley as an economics major. Then she moved back to Salt Lake where she met my father. They were married in 1934. RS: What was her maiden name? CC: Cannon. Her grandfather was George Quayle Cannon. He was a polygamist family and she was down through wife number…I"ve forgotten. RS: How many children did your folks have? CC: Just my brother and myself. RS: How much older is your brother? CC: He is four and a half years older than I am. He was born in 1935. He was born in Ogden, I believe. RS: What do you remember of growing up in San Francisco in the "40s and "50s? CC: I grew up during the war but I don"t remember anything about it. I was five when the war ended. I remember lots of things when I was growing up, but nothing particularly related to the war except one time when my mother was taking me into nursery school. She must have been planning on going to the market because she had rationing coupons in her hands. I looked up at her and said, "What"s rationing?" She gave me some response which I don"t remember. That was it. That is all I remember. RS: Do you remember seeing a lot of sailors and soldiers? 4 CC: I remember one cousin, Ed Dumke. He was in the Navy. I remember him coming up in his blue uniform, pulling his duffle bag. I must have been about four at the time. RS: You have lived in San Francisco for six decades. What changes do you notice here? CC: It is more crowded. Everybody has cars now. The pace is faster. There are a lot more commuters and people coming in. The city is very crowded during the day. You didn"t have that. Well, you had it to some extent. I mean, the amount of traffic coming over both bridges and up from the peninsula is just unbelievable. It is harder to get around. The neighborhoods have changed. I was talking to somebody about it today. We happened to be over on Polk Street having lunch and there are many more restaurants than there were back then. It is a food city now. RS: A lot of tourists are coming in. CC: There have always been tourists, but there are many more tourists now. The Fisherman"s Wharf is much more developed than what I remember. RS: You mentioned that everyone has a car. When you were younger, a lot of folks didn"t have cars. CC: Well, if they had a car, the family had one car with which they would get by. I remember friends of ours around the corner—she would get up and drive her husband to work so she would have the car for the day. He would take the bus home. RS: Now, everybody has got to have a car. 5 CC: I do still know people who take the bus home because it is convenient for them and they live on a route. It is easy for them, I guess. RS: Did you meet Marriner Eccles? CC: I knew Marriner and Sallie. RS: How would you describe Marriner and his relationship with Utah Construction? CC: I can"t shed a lot of light on that. I knew Marriner. I knew he was very involved with Utah. I never saw him in action. I knew him more on kind of a social level than seeing him interact in Utah. RS: What were your impressions of him? CC: I liked him. I mean, I was young and they were adults. He was very gracious, as I remember. I remember when he married Sallie, which, I think, was in the mid-fifties. I am not quite sure whether there was a previous Mrs. Marriner. I became aware of him after he married her. She had a daughter who was about my age and we went to the same school. RS: I think he had children from an earlier marriage. CC: I am not sure I have ever met them. RS: David"s brother is Marriner Val. He was named after his grandfather and Val Browning. CC: I remember my father and Val were good friends. RS: Did you meet Ed Littlefield? CC: I loved Ed. I first became aware of Ed and Jeannik when I was ten or eleven. I don"t know when he moved back. RS: He came to Utah in 1951. 6 CC: That is about when I remember meeting him. He and Jeannik were married. The kids were little. To me, they always lived in Burlingame. We would go down there every once in a while. I remember seeing the kids growing up. Jacques was always down in the basement constructing his little war games with his toy tanks. They were just kind of always around. We went to their house and they came to our house. I think my dad thought very highly of them. They were good people. RS: How would you describe Ed? CC: Well, he was very vigorous. He had a great business mind. Remember, I was a lot younger. He always seemed to be kind of in charge, but in a nice way. I mean, he was obviously a go-getter executive, but he was always accessible. He was accessible to me, which was nice, and he didn"t necessarily have to be. Family, I think, meant a lot to him. RS: You are his cousin, but you are twenty-six years younger. Did that affect the relationship? CC: To me, he was an entire generation older. He was more like an uncle than a cousin, but we talked as equals. I obviously had a lot less experience than he did. He took that into account. RS: You were at Berkeley just as things were warming up in the early sixties. What was life like on campus there? CC: There was a Bohemian side and then there was the fraternity side. I joined a sorority almost by default because the housing crunch was…Let me step back. If I had gone to another type of college, I would never have joined a sorority. It just wasn"t my tendency to do that. But we did it because there was a housing crunch. 7 RS: What did you study? CC: I studied French and journalism, neither one of which I have used. Berkeley was great, don"t misunderstand me, but if I could go back, I think I would have done better in a small liberal arts college someplace. RS: When it is big and each class has 500 students, it"s difficult. CC: I was overwhelmed and I was ill-prepared for the bureaucracy, having been nurtured in a small, private school. So when I got over there, I didn"t know how to deal with it, so I just really didn"t live up to my potential. RS: Do you remember people in your family talking about Utah Construction and what the company was like? CC: Well, we would hear wonderful stories and anecdotes about Boulder Dam. My parents went on their honeymoon to Las Vegas. Somewhere, we have an old sixteen millimeter film that we found and had the raw footage converted to video. RS: What year was that? CC: It was 1934, while the dam was being built. Mom talks about riding up the face of the dam in whatever the open box was that they took the workers up in. I remember seeing photographs of that. RS: Did your parents talk much about E.O. Wattis" role? CC: No, actually. Most of what I know I got from books. There was a really good passage in a book that was put out by the Copley Press called The Grand Colorado that had pictures of them in it. I picked that one up when I was in my twenties. I guess it was about a railroad…or they did something up Feather River Canyon. RS: Yes, Feather River Project. They built a railroad. 8 CC: Yes. By the time I became aware of it, they were doing things in Peru. My parents traveled down to Marcona, which was nationalized later. I never went with them, but they talked. They took several trips down there and became acquainted with some local Peruvians. They were in Buenos Aires when Eva Perón died; I remember that story. They went to Australia. I kind of remember moving away from it after I graduated college. I married and moved down to Southern California and I became less involved except that we started going out to Palm Valley Country Club. That had been developed by them, too. Because we lived in that area, our connections were continued in that vein. I never went to shareholders" meetings—except the last one. RS: The famous one in 1975? CC: I guess. That is the only one I ever went to. My mother invited me. She said, "It will probably be the last one, so why don"t you come with us?" I had never gone to any of the others. RS: Do you remember anything about being there? CC: I remember Ed getting up to speak. I remember there were some cousins there and I don"t remember much else. RS: Do you remember when the person from the W.H. Wattis side got up and said, "We"d have a moment of silence for the founder of the company, W.H. Wattis?" CC: I don"t remember. GS: There was a moment of silence as everyone looked around. This is a tough question and you are free not to answer it, but one of the questions that bedeviled me when I was working on this book was: You have these two brothers, E.O. and W.H., and they are like the same person. Then, as time 9 passes into the forties and fifties, you see the two families become very estranged. Do you have any sense of that at all? Sometimes you ask people and they say "Well, I won"t talk about it." CC: I don"t know anything about the W.H. side. I know he died before the dam was finished. And then E.O. died right in the middle of the project. GS: So, you were not aware of the W.H. people feeling estranged from the E.O. people or anything? CC: No, I was unaware of them completely. Other cousins may know more. What was the source of it? RS: Well, there were some disagreements over leadership, and then the W.H. people sold their stock in the "40s, just before it began to go up. CC: Who did they sell it to? RS: I probably could have told you once, but I don"t remember now. There was always tension among the children, who had been cousins, over who founded the company and who was the real powerhouse in it. It is so silly because these two men were the same man. They had a joint checking account until they were forty. That is how close they were. CC: So what led to the estrangement? RS: Disagreements about leadership. CC: They themselves disagreed or the family members disagreed? RS: Well, Marriner was involved in it. It is all in the book. When the two brothers died, Marriner kind of became the pilot force beneath it. The Eccles were major investors. But he was off in Washington and the E.O. people kind of were in attendance and there were some issues that occurred with leadership in various 10 branches of the company in the late "40s. And then, of course, Marriner brought in Ed in 1951. CC: I remember hearing stories about things going on in the late-"40s. It was about the time when…Who was Ed"s predecessor? RS: Allen D. Christensen. CC: I remember Christensen. I remember my father, I think, expressing some sort of dissatisfaction with Christensen, but I don"t remember the details. RS: Do you feel any roots in Utah, or are your roots pretty much in San Francisco? CC: No. Well, I feel a connection to Utah, but when I go back I tend to go to Salt Lake City. First of all, I don"t think there is anybody left in Ogden that I know. I am still kind of connected with my one cousin on my mother"s side; she was a Cannon. I still stay in touch, in a general way, with Zeke and Kay Dumke. I never see Ed and Carol. We just don"t have any connection. RS: You knew that Denise and some of them have bought the old E.O. house? CC: It"s my brother, his son, Denise, and Jacques. RS: As I said that, I thought, "Of course she knows, her brother is involved in it." That might help bring a connection back to Ogden. We would like to see that connection re-established, obviously. There are not any family folks left here. CC: No, no I don"t think so. All of the Kimballs are out here. Some of the Littlefields are here. Denise is in New York, of course. The Dumkes are in Salt Lake City. The other Dumke is up in Sun Valley and the third Dumke is back east. They are kind of all over. I think some of them are around here. LL: In Las Vegas? 11 CC: Yes, they are pretty much based out of Las Vegas; that is where their family office is, but they are all over the place. There is one in Incline Village, and one, I think, maybe up here in the Napa area. I never know where Marguerite is. RS: Last October, when we held the Symposium, we took a bus-load of folks up to Uintah to show them your great-grandfather"s home. There is still a granary there that he built. CC: I have never been to Uintah. I don"t even know where it is. RS: It is south of Ogden. It"s just a little, teeny town, and so if and when you are interested, we would be happy to take you and show you around. The Uintah Cemetery is kind of a quaint place and there are some Wattis graves there. They were there when the Union Pacific Railroad came down the canyon to create the Transcontinental Railroad. An original track from the Union Pacific Railroad in 1869 is still there. In October, when we hold the Utah Construction Symposium, we are going to talk a lot about the families that lived around Eccles Circle. CC: Is Eccles Circle where that house is? RS: Yes, it is on Eccles Avenue. It"s the house that Ed was born in. CC: Is this the house that Zeke and Edna…did they take that house on at one time or did they live nearby? RS: No, they lived through the backyard. Two of E.O."s daughters lived in houses behind it. GS: E.O. bought the property and built the houses for his daughters. That goes through to the next avenue. The backyards were adjacent. RS: In 1889 the mayor of Ogden—the first non-Mormon mayor—said, "We are going to change the names of the streets that are now Mormon names like Young and 12 Smith. We are going to Americanize the city so we are going to call them Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Van Buren, and Harrison, and so on." CC: I was in Ogden in 1997. I had been fishing in Idaho and I drove down. I was on my way through to visit my cousins in Salt Lake City. It was a weekend and I stopped off and found the city cemetery. I was looking for my father"s grave, but I never found it. Nobody was there to point me in the right direction. RS: He was buried in the city cemetery? CC: Yes, he is buried there. LL: Your mother passed away not too long ago, isn't that right? CC: Four years ago. LL: She did so much for art and the fine arts in this city. Would you mind sharing some of your thoughts about her? CC: She made things happen, I think, in her own way. She was instrumental, I don"t mean financially, but in other ways. She served on a lot of different boards. I think she was always active through a great passion for art, particularly the visual arts. Modern art was her great passion. LL: Was she an artist herself? CC: Not really. She drew and painted. I think she dabbled in it and enjoyed it. RS: And this was her home? CC: Yes. RS: When did they move here? CC: My father died in 1971. He had just turned seventy in the previous August and he had a full-blown heart attack in his office downtown. She didn"t want to stay in the 13 house but she wanted the security of an apartment. Within a year of my father dying, she found this place and bought it. RS: Is it difficult for you to live in your mother"s home? CC: We did some renovation. A lot of it is the same, but a lot of it is different. It is ours now. We kept a lot of elements of it, but you have to make it your own. I think you have to do that. Otherwise, you are trapped in somebody else"s life. RS: Where did your mom get her love for art and her patronage ideas? CC: I think she developed it. My father had a very dim opinion of art. He wasn"t particularly interested. In fact, she didn"t start collecting until after he had died and she had a certain amount of financial freedom. RS: That is an interesting story because Jeannik told us that Ed really didn"t like the opera very much but he would tell her he would take her to the opera if he wanted her to do something. CC: They negotiated, I"m sure. I think there was a certain amount of negotiation with my father, too. He was an outdoorsman. He loved to hunt. He would hunt and fish. He would be with his cronies and this was the trade-off. Now my husband and I go fly-fishing up near Highland Park. It is wonderful. Good fly fishing. RS: Do you buy your flies or do you tie them? CC: We buy them. We just go in and say, "What are they hitting on this week?" You come out of the shop with a half a dozen that are the type you already had but that you left at home. The Harriman Ranch is beautiful up there. It is so gorgeous. We go into the fire hole in the park. We stay at the Flat Rock Club which is having its one-hundredth anniversary this year. My mother would have been 101 this year. My father would have been coming up on 107. 14 RS: We are appreciative your time today. When you come to Ogden, we will be happy to take you around to show you some places that you may not know. GS: You can see where the house used to be that E.O. and W.H. lived in. CC: They lived in Uintah, not in Ogden, right? GS: There is another house where their house was, so it is not the original house, but the granary is right behind it, and you can see where they were almost within spitting distance of the Transcontinental Railroad. That is, of course, how they got interested in construction. CC: They started out with mules, didn't they? GS: Yes, they took their team up the canyon. They were just kids. E.O. was twelve or something like that. He took a team up the canyon. He was barefoot and helped grade the canyon. That grade is still there. The Union Pacific has two rail beds. The lower bed is the original Transcontinental Railroad bed that your grandfather graded when he was a kid. And your great-grandfather, Edmond Wattis, was kind of the local child leader. He was the community leader. CC: Were they Mormon at that time? RS: Yes, which is why they came from England. CC: Edmond Wattis came from England? GS: Yes, he came from the London area.

Restaurants in Cairo
Downtown is best for local restaurants, especially Egypt's famous koshary, made with macaroni, black lentils and garlic sauce, at Abou Tarek. Along the Nile around Zamalek and Gezira are huge houseboats with plush restaurants like El Morocco. Most restaurants favour Middle Eastern cuisine, with international cuisine at top hotel restaurants like Japanese Sapporo Teppanyaki in Doqqi. Upmarket restaurants are open until after midnight. Smart dress and reservations are recommended. Service charge is usually included, but add an extra 10% cash for waiters.
Abu el-Sid
Sophisticated Egyptian cuisine
With Oriental decor of mosaic floors, upholstered ornate chairs and stone
walls, Abu el-Sid in Zamalek is loved by fashionable locals. Sophisticated
Egyptian dishes include chicken in walnut sauce, meatballs with molokheya
(green herb) and stuffed pigeon with rice. Save room for the om aly
(traditional pudding) with mixed nuts.

My car was at a standstill in traffic so I watched as they spoke with a man. What caught my eye, however, was this white officer sitting on the raised pavement away from the others — talking to a black kid who was about the age of 9.
They were both sitting in a relaxed position, carrying on a normal conversation. This kid was talking freely, not intimidated — just talking, and this officer was listening and talking in such a relaxed manner that it reminded me of a father talking with his son. It was a beautiful moment of an officer using paternal techniques in dealing with a youth.
The light turned green and I had no choice but to follow the traffic onto the highway. As I drove, I couldn't get that picture out of my mind. It was like a heartwarming scene from a movie. They never looked up. They never saw me. But what I saw reminded me of a period in my own childhood when law enforcement became my closest link to feeling safe from danger.
My two older brothers and older sister had friends at our house when my parents were not home. This was seven or eight people at a time, not counting us four siblings! As you could imagine, things could get out of control fast without parental supervision.
The truth is, no one wanted me around. I was too young, too silly and too indiscreet to be trusted. I wasn't smart enough to keep my distance from where I knew I wasn't wanted. When I was pushed out of a room with the door slammed behind me, I pushed to get back in. This resulted in me getting pinched or punched, and chased out of the house or into a scuffle with someone.
This also resulted in me calling the police numerous times. Sometimes I would have to run down the street to where a police car was stationed at a nearby restaurant.
I can't tell you how many times these officers, black and white, drove me home and had a talk with my brothers and their friends. It got to the point where whenever I reached for the phone it would clear the room.
All I knew was that everyone was bigger than me and I was not wanted. During that time period, which lasted for several months, I was viewed as a tattletale and an outcast. But I didn't know what else to do. I felt unwelcome in my own home when company came over. Telling my parents only made it worse.
But these peace officers felt like friends. They rescued me. I guess I've always had a soft spot for the police because I believe most officers are trying to do us good. They risk their lives to protect the public and the vast majority deserve our respect and support. Without them we would have social anarchy.
Of course, we find exceptions to the rule in every profession. Stereotypes are not helpful in such matters. Most people never stop to think how chaotic the world would be without law enforcement. Do you think officers do far more good than they are given credit for?
They put their lives on the line to make society safer, yet they get far more negative attention than commendation. Is it because they are waging an impossible war on crime?
In his book, "Police for the Future," David Bayley said, "That the police are not able to prevent crime should not come as a big surprise to thoughtful people. It is generally understood that social conditions outside the control of the police, as well as outside the control of the criminal justice system as a whole, determine crime levels in communities."
Without a change in these "social conditions," crime will never be eliminated. The real problem is bigger than the police can solve. It is a social problem, rooted in the reality that humans are born in sin, with a tendency to commit crimes — large and small.
How do we react when there are no police around? Some people obey the law because they respect authority. That is what the Bible recommends for Christians. Since God, the greatest Law Enforcer, permits human governments to exist, and these agencies maintain some degree of order in society, respect and obedience is appropriate.
Regarding these civil authorities Romans 13:4-5 says, "The government is God's servant working for your good. But if you do what is wrong, you should be afraid. The government has the right to carry out the death sentence. It is God's servant, an avenger to execute God's anger on anyone who does what is wrong. Therefore, it is necessary for you to obey, not only because you're afraid of God's anger but also because of your own conscience." — GOD'S WORD Translation.
At Matthew 24:12 the Bible predicted before the end came, "lawlessness would be increased." — English Standard Version. This would be despite the best efforts of law enforcement and advancements in society.
If you would like to live in a world where people have so much respect for the law that they don't need police officers, where no criminals or crime will exist to harm you or your loved ones, then put all your trust in the Almighty. Learn to do His will.
Then you will experience the fulfillment of Psalms 37:10-11: "Soon the wicked will disappear; you may look for them, but you won't find them; but the humble will possess the land and enjoy prosperity and peace." — Good News Translation.

StopTech recognizes that great brakes need to look as good as they perform. Performance wheels and tires are best complemented with StopTech SportStop Drilled or Drilled and Slotted rotors. SportStop Drilled and Slotted Rotors prevent glazing of the pads, add bite and improve wet and dry braking performance. Every SportStop brake rotor is produced from a high quality Centric parts blank casting and finished in a durable e-coating for corrosion resistance.
Cooling Vane Design Nearly all SportStop Drilled and Drilled and Slotted rotors have unique drilled hole patterns for the left and right sides of the vehicle. For these directional patterns, straight vane or pillar vane rotors are used to ensure that a drilled hole never touches a cooling vane.
Power Alloy Metallurgy Power Alloy metallurgy is exclusive feature of Power Slot and SportStop rotors. In specific vehicle applications, StopTech works with foundry partners to increase the molybdenum or carbon content of the castings, and to carefully control the cooling rate during production to reach targets for hardness and tensile strength.

RIP 2012 Milwaukee Brewers
milwaukee brewers July 25th, 2012
Well, the improbable has become the basically impossible and I am throwing in the towel on the 2012 Milwaukee Brewers playoff hopes. Notice I said playoff hopes and not the team itself? Yeah, that's how you do it. There is a lot of summer left with basically nothing to do so watching the Brewers is still going to be one of the cornerstones of my life until the season is over. I will still want them to win baseball games because watching my favorite baseball team win games is fun for me. I've never understood why some people take on the opinion that once a team is eliminated from the playoffs they should lose every game for the rest of the season to improve their draft pick. What fun is that? You people watch too much basketball. I'm not saying the Brewers should be adding pieces or not doing trades to improve themselves for the future, but if Yovani Gallardo is pitching and Ryan Braun is hitting then that can be a fun team to watch. You should want those guys to win especially if you, you know, have tickets to a game and want to have a good time. This isn't rocket science. This is rocket science:
It's okay to still like a baseball team that isn't going to the playoffs. If you don't agree just watch the Packers practice in sweatpants or whatever.
I really had high hopes for the 2012 Milwaukee Brewers and there has been nothing that happened this season to make me doubt those high hopes. Things simply didn't go their way. Their shortstop got hurt, their bullpen wasn't that good which was exacerbated by the fact that some of their better arms had to fill in for injured starting pitchers, a handful of players decided not to show up in April, John Axford had his wisdom teeth pulled and decided it would be fun to pitch like he was still in the middle of surgery and luck never once felt like it was on the Brewers side. A few breaks the other way and this team is right in the thick of it, but if I start agonizing over "what ifs" now I might start crying. WHAT IF ROENICKE DIDN'T GO MARCUM THEN NARVESON IN GAME 6 GUYS!? WHAT IF HE USED BEST RELIEVERS INSTEAD!? WHAT IF!?

It's my long-held theory that frozen coffee drinks are the best idea most routinely botched.
Starbucks' Frappuccino, for example, should be the most awesome summer refreshment, adding refreshing iciness to the kick of coffee. But it's not. It's overwhelmingly sweet with a cloying aftertaste, it's milky instead of icy, and it barely tastes like coffee. Even adding an espresso shot to the basic coffee Frappuccino has little impact on all of that syrupy sweetness.
Most chains' frozen blended coffee drinks are similarly afflicted, tending to have powdered mixes or syrups as their bases and winding up more like frosty sugar bombs (or high fructose corn syrup bombs) than actual coffee drinks. Even a relatively high-end chain such as Peet's Coffee & Tea lets its Caffe Freddo be dominated by sweet milkiness (and we'll just avoid discussion of Dunkin' Donuts' Coolatta).
The reason for this, I think, is that these shops and many of their customers don't generally view frozen coffee drinks as coffee. These drinks may be seen as gateways to coffee for young sippers whose taste buds aren't yet attuned to java bitterness, but anyone who appreciates coffee in all of its complex glory isn't supposed to desire it in such a bastardized form.
Intelligentsia, for instance, offered an iced espresso horchata some summers back touted as winning a national tasting competition after being created by an Intelligentsia barista. It was delicious, the espresso boldly playing off the sweet cinnamon-tinged rice milk of the traditional Latin American/Spanish iced drink.
It was a seasonal item, but when I asked about it the following summer, a server told me that Intelligentsia had axed it because the boutique Chicago-based chain was focusing on more serious coffee offerings. Now at Intelligentsia you can get a straight-up iced coffee, billed as cold-brewed, but nothing so playful and impure as an iced espresso horchata.
Although I appreciate the quality of Intelligentsia's variously sourced and prepared coffees and espressos, sometimes on a hot, sunny day, I like to sip something cool and somewhat sweet through a straw, and a regular iced coffee doesn't do the trick. I'd also prefer something that's not as heavy as a milkshake. Plenty of ice creams and gelatos boast strong coffee/espresso flavors. Why can't a frozen drink?
It can, and my tastings over the years have turned up one clear winner.
Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the Granita di Caffe from Caffe RoM, which has three downtown locations (the Hyatt Center at 71 S. Franklin St., Prudential Plaza at 180 N. Stetson Ave. and 400 E. South Water St.).
"Granitas are a very traditional Sicilian summer treat, and so we're always trying to pay respect back to the heritage of Italian coffee and coffee bars," said RoM owner Jim Louras.
Italian granitas often are desserts made from flavored liquids that are partially or totally frozen and scraped, shaved, stirred or bonked with a spoon to get those delicate crystals. RoM's granita is unambiguously a drink made in what looks like an oversize Slurpee machine. The ingredients are simple: espresso (the Gusto Crema blend from the Seattle-based Caffe Umbria, Louras said) plus sugar and whole milk that, when all churned together amid the machine's frosted coils, achieve an icy, granular texture.
"The sugar draws out the caramel notes of the coffee itself, and the milk gives it that creamy mouth feel and adds a little bit of fat to the flavor as well," Louras said. "It's a recipe that I've used for over 20 years, and it's a recipe that's been passed down now for a couple of generations."
The texture is close to perfect — richer and more refined than a Slurpee, not as heavy or frothy as your typical milk-based drink that's been thrown into a blender — and the espresso remains front and center with just enough sweetness to offset the bitterness that you're inclined to suck it all up through your straw quickly.
Just be warned that although Louras wouldn't divulge how many espresso shots are in a 16- or 20-ounce serving, either size of Granita di Caffe should satisfy your caffeine jones for many hours. RoM's granita machines generally make their seasonal debuts around May 15 and return to storage Oct. 1, Louras said. Then the granita withdrawal kicks in.

New Jersey Welcomes Formula One in 2013
It was officially announced yesterday that Formula 1 racing will be coming to the Garden State. In June of 2013, the air will be filed with the sound of screeching tires and roaring engines as F1 racecars speed around the streets of Hudson County. Specifically, the towns of Weehawkin and West New York will place host to the race. Now, I know what you're saying. "But Doug, there is no room there build a race track." Well, that's been addressed. Much like the world famous Monaco Grand Prix, the cars will race on the city streets.
The track combines the tight turns of a city track with a long straight offering a spectacular view of the city. That view is not for the drivers though. When driving at 200+ miles per hour, taking a glance at the city skyline is not exactly a safe idea. Speaking of driving at 200+ MPH, it must be pretty fun to drive that fast past a 25 MPH sign. I don't know about you, but I'd get a good laugh out of that.
Oh, and did I mention this is a ten-year long agreement we are talking about? That's right. Starting in June 2013, you can expect a race every summer for ten years. The economic benefit is impossible to deny. While a full economic impact study by Formula 1 is still in the works, the region can expect to see millions in economic development. A quick quote from Governor Christie sums everything up: "The three-day event will bring very positive economic activity to the region, while giving fans of the sport in our region and around the world an exciting, new venue to experience Formula 1 racing. This is another example of how New Jersey remains a leader in hosting marquee national and international sporting and entertainment events like the Super Bowl, NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, and the Ironman Triathlon in various parts of our state."
I'm sold. I think this is a great idea, and I may even splurge for tickets when the time comes. We could use the economic boost. And bringing more and more unique sporting events can only bring positive attention to the state. What do you think? Maybe now members the Devils Army will turn into racing fans.
