Fink is the stage name of British singer-songwriter-DJ-producer Fin Greenall. With that kind of hyphenate you'd think his music would be overly complex, but actually Fink's best stuff is stripped down and deeply personal. He's collaborated with John Legend, Banks and Amy Winehouse in the past, but his solo material is where it's really obvious what he's capable of.
His most recent album, Hard Believer, is a current favorite of mine and when you hear the first couple of singles from it you'll understand why.
First up, it's a song that could easily be a lost track from Radiohead's OK Computer. This is Pilgrim.
And here's Looking Too Closely.

Listening Post: Wolf Alice
You should be listening to Wolf Alice for a number of reasons. They're out of London and they sound like a plane full of Seattle musicians circa '91 plunged into the venue where My Bloody Valentine and Elastica were playing a show together. They're basically kids and yet in just two years they've managed to become one of the most buzzed-about bands overseas. It feels like their stuff just keep getting better and more assured with each new song you hear.
Wolf Alice's new record, My Love Is Cool is set to land in June. Right now none of their material is available on iTunes in the U.S. but it looks like you can get it at Amazon. I have to imagine, since they're all over iTunes U.K., they'll eventually get Apple distribution here. They're also touring the U.S. right now. (If you happen to live in L.A., they're playing the Roxy on May 18th.)
Here now, three from Wolf Alice. First up it's Giant Peach.
Next, Moaning Lisa Smile.
Finally, this is Storms.

Listening Post: Dead Sara
In 2012 I called Dead Sara's Weatherman the best single of the year. It was an absolutely ferocious track that heralded not only Dead Sara as maybe the next and potentially last great rock-and-roll band, but their single, Emily Armstrong, as the kind of voice that really does come only once in a generation.
I saw them live here in L.A. -- they're locals -- last year and it was sincerely one of the best shows I've ever seen: just an hour being smacked in the face by the raw fucking power of these guys.
Three years later, Dead Sara are back. Their new record's called Pleasure To Meet You and you can already download this first single from it on iTunes and so on.
Here's Mona Lisa.
And another track from the album, Something Good.

Listening Post: Ex Cops
Brooklyn indie-pop duo Ex Cops are in the news at the moment. The reason is that they're the latest to take up the fight for independent artists everywhere to get paid for their work.
It goes like this: Ex Cops were invited by McDonalds to play SXSW this year, but within the offer was this line, which should be very familiar to any up-and-coming musician, writer, filmmaker or artist these days: "There isn't a budget for an artist fee (unfortunately)." In other words, feel free to come out here and play, but you're not going to get paid for it. McDonalds did, however, assure them there would be free food, which sounds less like a promise than a threat.
Ex Cops responded with a scathing open letter to McDonalds on their Facebook page, pointing out that a company that made $90 billion in 2013 somehow couldn't afford a few bucks to pay an indie act to play on their behalf, an act the company would immediately brand and use for its own promotional purposes. McDonalds shot back saying that it was simply following protocol and tagged its response with "#slownewsday." "That's not true," says Ex Cops singer Amalie Bruun to Rolling Stone. "They're not following any guidelines because everyone else is offering money. They'll have to take that up with South by Southwest if they think they're following the guidelines...Other, much smaller corporations are offering us money."
The band also ridiculed McDonalds for being "an archaic company trying to be hip by putting a hashtag at the end of an e-mail."
Exposure and promotion are important. But when you're a struggling artist, exposure and promotion don't pay the rent. It's especially a problem when a mega-corporation is asking you to foot the bill for your own out-of-town gig.
And the thing is, Ex Cops are worth spending a little on.
Hear for yourself. This is Black Soap.

Listening Post: Ibeyi
Ibeyi have a fascinating background and a genuinely remarkable sound. The duo is made up of 19-year-old twin sisters Naomi and Lisa-Kaindé Diaz, who were born in Cuba and raised in France. Their father was legendary Cuban percussionist Anga Díaz of the Buena Vista Social Club, which means that he played with people like Ibrahim Ferrer and Rubén González.
As the Diaz sisters grew up, they took up their father's instruments as well as piano and guitar and began singing in English and Yoruba, which came to Cuba via the slave trade from Africa centuries ago. The music Ibeyi makes is such an amalgam of styles and cultures that it almost defies description. It's cool and minimalist but warm and delicate, part electronic and part traditional and percussive, Cuban jazz mixed with African rhythms and experimental Euro-pop.
No matter how you attempt to categorize it, though, it's absolutely mesmerizing.
Here's Ibeyi -- Oya.

Listening Post: Gateway Drugs
So I can't promise that I'll be able to run this place on much more than impulse power given my heavy workload at The Daily Banter and beyond. But I've missed my internet home here so I think it's time to at least flip the lights back on, blow off some of the cobwebs and turn up some music. That's a decent start.
Today the new record from Gateway Drugs lands at iTunes and everywhere else and it's something you should definitely give a listen to. The band's a four-piece out of L.A. made up of three siblings who are the kids of Prescott Niles of The Knack and one hell of a powerhouse drummer, and their sound is a little like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club if you added a female voice into the mix.
I haven't stopped listening to the record, Magick Spells, since I got a hold of an advance copy of it a few weeks back. It's swirling, wall-of-sound fuzzy, propulsive and sensuously intoxicating stuff for the most part, even if the first single is a little more poppy than what you find on the rest of the album (which is to be expected).
My favorite track, if you care about such things, is I'm in Love with a Teenage Heartthrob, but this upbeat single will do nicely as an introduction.
Here's Fridays Are for Suckers.
And one more -- Head.
By the way, they're on tour with Swervedriver over the next month, so if you get a chance, see them live there or in here L.A. if you happen to be in the area. You certainly won't be disappointed.

Write Turn
Time to just come out and admit it: my workload is such these days that it's almost impossible to keep posting new material here. I can't really apologize for that anymore, simply because it's not as if I've stopped writing altogether -- it's just that I've moved damn-near permanently at this point.
And so, rather than keep a two-month old video clip up as the first thing stragglers see when they inadvertently wander in here, I think it's probably a good idea to at least point people in the direction of my new office. (I won't call it home, because while it may be neglected right now, this place is still home to me.)
When I have something personal to say, I promise I'll return here, but for now if you're looking for my wit, charm and generally worthless opinions, you can head over to The Daily Banter.

Keep Breathing
When someone you love, someone exceptional, is taken from you at a young age there's more than the standard grief and hurt. There's a quiet rage at the incomprehensible injustice of it all and an emptiness that feels like its own physical presence, because what was lost wasn't just the past but the long, bright future that was supposed to be ahead.
On this very early morning one year ago, someone I loved and continue to love more than can be expressed in human language died of cancer. On paper, he was my former brother-in-law, the younger brother of my ex-wife. In the reality I came to believe and understand, he was my own brother. That's what he considered himself and what I was both humbled and proud to call him as well.
While it may feel like a tired cliché to liken the attempt to survive cancer to a battle, there's simply no better analogy for what Michael Chobot endured. He fought. He battled. He waged war, for almost two years, showing a determination, humor, and grace that I could never in a million years imagine myself being capable of. When it ended -- when he said his goodbye and allowed himself to finally let go and drift away -- there was in some ways a sense of gratitude and appreciation both for the fact that he was with us for as long as he was, and that his suffering was, at least, over.
But it's always in the ebbing aftermath where the real heartbreak of something like this lies, when the silence and shadow slowly move in to fill the space where the person you loved once was. It seems like no one who was close to Mike has been able to find true north in the wake of losing him. We've all just been adrift, going about our daily lives, sure, but always with the knowledge that something irreplaceable was missing, and always one stray, fleeting thought away from breaking down and screaming through hot tears that we needed that something back because we couldn't be without it.
He was supposed to be here, dammit. He was supposed to laugh with us and cry with us and call us with absurd questions and make it a point to tell us he loved us every time we parted from him and always leave us wondering how we got so lucky to be able to say he was in our lives -- and he was supposed to become an Oscar-winning sound designer and marry and have children and grow old and be an inspiration to us in every single thing he did.
The memory of him can do some of those things. It can't do all of them.
But Mike would've hated it if I or anyone else couldn't get past the tragedy of his death and remember only the triumph of his life and his legacy. So even though I look at that picture above and can't help but cry -- because it's a reminder that at one time he was the same age as my own little girl, his niece, and I can't imagine the larger thought that even something so wonderful and innocent and flawless can't be guaranteed safe passage through this life -- I've got to keep looking up and moving forward. Because that's what he did. Always. Those whose lives he enriched in innumerable ways now take what he gave us and carry it in our hearts, our souls, our very marrow. And that's how his life goes on -- through us.
Just before he died, Mike asked me to write something about him -- essentially, to write his obituary. I ached over it, unsure of what I could possibly say and how I could begin to say it. But I finally took a deep breath and let what was inside of me out. I published it just a few hours before he left, not long after midnight on the morning of August 6th.
I'm reposting it this morning, on this anniversary. I miss you, Mike. I always will.
"Higher and Farther Than Anybody in a Gray Place Dares To Dream" (Originally Published, 8.6.13)
Any evening that begins with a car on fire is guaranteed to be memorable.
That's how things got underway as the darkness draped itself over New York City on Saturday, April 12th, 2008: with Michael Chobot spending the first few minutes of his big 21st birthday celebration staring in disbelief out of the window of the cab we were sitting in the back of as it crawled with traffic past an inferno that maybe ten minutes ago was a car. We were heading downtown, toward the Village, and firefighters had already blocked off the lane with the burning, empty vehicle, backing up the FDR for a good half-mile. While at least one of us in the cab was frustrated as hell at the delay, the sense of little-kid wonder I'd come to expect from Mike was in full bloom once the cause of it was revealed. From where I was sitting I could make out the expression on his face reflected slightly in the window as we passed the scene -- the open mouth forming an awed smile, the wide eyes, the appreciation for the sheer surreality of such a moment. Live long enough in Gotham and you start to believe that you've seen it all, that nothing can return you to that place you were when you knew full-well how wonderfully weird the entire world is. But there was Mike, with all the unpretentious exuberance that something like the sight of a car engulfed in flames, out of nowhere, to kick off the night of your birthday bash, should elicit. And at that, I remember cracking a little smile in spite of myself, because if there's one thing you learn from knowing Mike, it's that whatever strange magic it is that he possesses -- the singular way he looks at the world, what makes him him -- it rubs off on you, and that's never a bad thing.
The rest of that evening involved, among other things, Mike drunkenly rushing up to me at a bar after having disappeared for a few minutes to tell me that if we were willing to buy a couple of girls he'd just met drinks, they would make out in front of us; Mike being relieved of his leather belt and spanked with it by a bartender at Coyote Ugly; and the night's master of ceremonies, a good friend of mine, nearly being arrested for public urination. The following morning, I was awakened from unconsciousness by Mike standing there holding up the now very soiled blanket that I'd laid out on the couch for him the night before; he asked me, completely sincerely, with a goofy smile on his face that only served to ratify his perceived innocence, "Hey, man -- why'd you give me a blanket with vomit all over it?" I threw the thing in the laundry, we ordered a couple of Irish breakfasts from a place up the street and spent the rest of the day learning how to jump cars off the roofs of buildings in Grand Theft Auto IV. It was, even during that heady period in my life, with a new baby on the way, one of the best times I could remember. I had taken my wife's kid brother, whom I'd known for six years, out to christen his adulthood and we'd both had an absolute blast.
That's my favorite memory of Michael Chobot, my favorite among many memories. It doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of who he is and what makes him unlike anyone I've ever known, truly unlike anyone period, but at the moment it's what I've got. And those closest to Mike are doing the same thing I'm doing right now: quietly but hurriedly gathering these memories like diamonds spilled across a floor and holding tightly to each one. They're doing this because soon it's all any of us will have. Soon, Michael will be gone.
For almost two full years now, Mike has put up a truly remarkable fight against one of the most ruthless and efficient killers on the planet: acute myeloid leukemia. He's been in and out of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. He's undergone not one but two bone marrow transplants. He's straddled the line between recovery and collapse, gone into remission, then returned to that precipice to dangle precariously again. Throughout it all, his sense of humor and his singular outlook on life -- the life he was battling so valiantly to hold on to -- have never waned. He's had terrible days. He's had times he's wanted to be alone, I have no doubt times when he's wanted nothing more than to close his eyes and drift away from everything and everyone -- to open them and find himself floating freely in the ocean off a sunny beach somewhere, truly alive. But somehow with a strength I can't even begin to imagine he's managed to keep the most important part of himself intact. The Michael his family and friends have always known -- the one I've known for more than ten years, since he was a funny, awkward, endlessly analytical 14-year-old kid -- was still there.
Recently, following this latest transplant, which appeared to be holding, Mike took to looking toward the future. Maybe it was that weekend back in 2008 that sold him on a life in New York City, but in the couple of years before being diagnosed, Mike had moved to Brooklyn and was beginning to get some truly impressive work in his chosen field: sound engineering. He worked on Salt, Pokemon, and It's Kind of a Funny Story. He lived payday to payday, like just about everyone starting out in media in New York, and eventually worked on a PBS feature called An Original DUCKumentary. Just a couple of months ago he called me with some incredible news: He'd been nominated for a national Emmy for it -- outstanding music and sound. The ceremony is this coming October. He wanted to go. I joked to him that he needed to leak the fact that he has cancer to the Academy -- possibly get the sympathy vote.
Maybe it's the fact that I'm 3,000 miles away from him and only know what I hear in his voice when we talk on the phone, but I think I finally put out of my mind the ugly reality that had always clawed at my insides. Maybe all of us pulling for him were right: Michael was special. He had taught himself piano as a child and composed symphonies as a teenager. He had an artistic streak most could only dream of and a staggering amount of talent to back it up. He had a strangely old-soul quality about him, becoming a kid fanboy of music that was popular on rock radio even before I was a kid (so much so that I used to rib him pretty mercilessly about it). He was almost supernaturally optimistic. He was an honest-to-God genius who seemed to control everything around him, making his dreams come to vivid life and bending it all to his will without really even trying, always improving it -- or at least making it a hell of a lot more interesting. He couldn't be taken. It simply wasn't possible. He existed in a perpetual state of grace. He was gonna be fine.
But two weeks ago, he was given the news: there was nothing the doctors could do anymore. The cancer had come back with a vengeance. It was too aggressive. Too powerful. He wasn't going to make it. He's not going to make it.
He's home now. With the family he loves more than anything and which loves him with equal ferocity. He's at peace with what's to come.
How do you mourn for what never existed? How do you grieve not for the past but for the future, a future that will never be? I suppose that's what true grief is -- it's not the disappearance of what was there all along as much as it is the sudden absence of what you were so sure was to come. It's the worst kind of cliché, but Michael Chobot was going to change the world. He was going to do something not simply great but truly monumental. I can't even begin to explain how I know this, but it's as certain to me as the searing knowledge that the man who isn't my blood brother but who embraced me as one and has grown to become an inextricable part of my heart and soul is now dying. The only comfort I or anyone else close to him can take is that he's already accomplished such extraordinary things, had so indelible an impact on so many lives, created love and joy as effortlessly as he created sound and music and film, equally beautiful and without question immortal. There's little anyone can do at this point other than to assure Mike that what he's done with his life has mattered. That in just a little over a quarter-century on this planet, he fulfilled every bit of his promise to himself and those around him. That he made a difference. That he can be proud.
Michael is my brother and my friend. I will go to my own grave loving him. I will make sure my daughter, his niece, grows up knowing how fortunate she is that her uncle was the man he was. She'll learn the stories about Mike, hear them repeated endlessly. The hilarious stories, the unusual stories, the profoundly moving stories. She'll hear the stories from his brother, and his sisters, and his parents, and his friends, and every single person whose life he's touched.
Maybe I was wrong. Maybe everyone who's known Michael Chobot throughout the years won't be left with only memories once he's gone. What they'll be left with is what Mike himself gave them, what he gave me: something better. Michael made our lives better. He has since the day he was born -- and his legacy will ensure that he'll continue to long after his physical presence is no more.
He always had fire. He was guaranteed to be memorable.
(Overnight, Michael Chobot died. He is survived by his mother, Gwyn, and his father, Tom, as well as his sisters, Jayne and Sarah, and brother, Joe. And those he called brother or sister, Phil, Megan and, for reasons I'll never fully understand or be able to adequately thank him for, me. He lived with more passion, wonder and innocence than anyone I've ever known or ever will.)

Sorry, folks, it's been a really rough couple of weeks so I know I've slacked off from my usual amount of slacking off.
Here's some new stuff from Blood Red Shoes, which are one of what feels like the few relatively new alt-rock bands making music these days. Yes, I seem to lament that kind of thing more and more as I get older and listen to what KROQ plays nonstop these days.

Amount of Fading Analysis for Transmit Antenna Selection in MIMO Systems
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The Amount of Fading (AF) is a simple measure for the performance of a diversity system. This paper provides approximations and bounds for AF as well as the methods to derive the exact AF calculations for Transmit Antenna Selection (TAS) on Rayleigh fading channels. The authors also derive a simple approximate formula for the relationship between the AF and the coding gain in a TAS system. Simulation results are provided to verify the results. In evaluating the performance of diversity combiners over fading channels, commonly used performance measures include the average Symbol Error Rate (SER), the average Bit Error Rate (BER), the diversity order, and the coding gain.

First Community Credit Union joins moveyourloans.org initiative
From press release
BELOIT, Wis.—Jack Gill, president of First Community Credit Union (FCCU) announced FCCU will participate in the moveryourloans.org initiative.
Moveyourloans.org is a new online consumer lending center that will make low-cost consumer credit union loans more accessible to all.
Gill noted: "Many consumers are trapped in high-interest rate loans and are unable to negotiate a lower rate with their current lender. Many seek debt counseling services that claim to remedy this problem. What then happens is that the consumer makes consolidated monthly payments to a third party with the promise of a significant interest rate reduction. Most all of these type of organizations provide such services for a fee. If the consumer misses a payment, he or she may experience an interest rate adjustment back to the rate they could not afford. For some, such a service may be the only solution. But for many, most consumers can successfully move their loans and pay substantially less interest without the involvement of a third party.
"When consumers' credit card credit limits were substantially reduced resulting in precipitous, historic, interest rates increases, most people thought they had to just pay up," Gill continued. "That could not be further from the truth. Many people are paying much higher rates on their revolving charges simply because they do not know where to turn. Many people are unaware that the simplest way to get out of a negative equity auto loan situation is to seek a loan interest rate reduction so that most of the payment goes to pay down the principal rather than to interest.
"People are suffering and need meaningful relief," Gill added. "We may be able to save them hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands and, in some cases, more. Moveyourloans.org goes a long way in providing such relief to stateline residents universally. And the most important thing, it is free. It does not cost the consumer anything to make an application."
For more information, contact Jack Gill, president, First Community Credit Union, 1702 Park Ave., Beloit, Wis., at (608) 362-9077. First Community Credit Union is a Bauer 5-star rated credit union with branches in Beloit, Janesville, Monroe Center and Machesney Park.

That's me; 47347398, and you might as well transfer both Ruth Schichlers - I have about 60 members of the family linked on Facebook, and we are sorting everyone out in the Monroe County boneyards.

Thank you for your help
Hi Robert,
Thank you for responding to my request for a photo of the grave of John Shobert (b. abt. 1825 in Bavaria Germany, d. abt. 1854 in Greece, NY) at Falls Cemetery in Greece, NY.
My information about the location of his grave came from an Oral History given by his grand daughter in 1977. With the help of Richard Halsey of the Rochester Genealogy Society and Shirley Nixon, historian for the Town of Ogden, we determined that the Falls Cemetery is the Cemetery where John Shobert was buried. His grave may or may not still have a headstone. With information from the oral history and Shirley's help we located and visited the burial places for the remainder of Johns Family.
I visited Shirley Nixon in 1996 and she told me that the Cemetery Records at Falls Cemetery were destroyed by fire in 1939, the only other source of burial records may be the person that has the burial permits and according to Shirley, wasn't willing to share that information.
Thanks again for your help, my quest continues.

Parrish markers
These aren't my memorials but I was hoping there were markers that would give some information about my ancestors. Thanks for letting me know they aren't marked. I was really hoping Abigail would have a marker since the memorial seemed to indicate there was an inscription. It's also possible there was a marker at one time and it's no longer present.
I appreicate your help.

Want To Cook Something New? How About Using A Condom?by Laurie Kay Olson
No, this isn't the beginning of some lame dirty joke. The condom cookbook is a real thing -- in Japan. The book is titled "Condom Meals I Want To Make For You." I hope that the title is catchier in Japanese. In English it just kind of lays there on the page. The ebook is filled with 11 supposedly delicious recipes that involve the use of a condom in the preparation. Fortunately it does not actually require the eating of the condom.
The Haul-A-Day Bike Allows You To Carry Heavy And Precious Loadsby Samantha Pankey
Bikes are great for commuting in urban areas, but even with utility bikes that have more cargo space than most bikes, transporting things like groceries, supplies or kids is a hassle. Usually cars are better for this, unless you have a bike like the Haul-A-Day.
The App For Breast Cancer Survivors Who Want Inkby Alicia Zuberbier
1 in 8 women struggle with breast cancer, and 50% of survivors are left with unwanted scars. The designers of a new app want women to feel strong and beautiful after their fight against cancer rather than disgusted by what cancer left behind. The P. INK insperational app can help cancer survivors cover their scars with lovely tattoos. Rather than feel ashamed of scars, women can create beauty from their trauma.

Mimish Storage Beanbag, A Stylish Storage Solutionby Amber Leventry
As small as kids are, they take up a lot of space. Baby equipment is bulky and toddler toys spread throughout the house faster than wildfire. Our kids get older and they keep acquiring stuff. And that stuff is usually anywhere than its designated place, i.e., on the floor. Our children's things can take over the house and leave little room for our own things if we are not careful. Mimish Storage Beanbags solve many of these problems in a fun and stylish way.

Sheet material for making a sealed isothermal package comprises a flexible outer sheet of polyvinyl having a shiny reflective outer surface. The entire inner surface of the outer sheet is coated with pressure sensitive adhesive. An inner heat insulating layer of plastic foam is bonded to the inner side of the outer sheet by the adhesive. The inner insulating layer is of lesser area than the outer sheet so as to leave marginal areas of the adhesive surface of the outer sheet exposed for adhesion to underlying portions of the sheet material when the sheet material is wrapped around an object to be packaged. The insulating layer is of sufficient thickness that when the sheet material is wound in a roll, the exposed adhesive marginal areas are spaced apart so that no release backing material is required.
1. Sheet material for making a sealed isothermal package comprising:
a flexible sheet having a highly reflective outer surface and a self-adhesive inner surface, and
a flexible insulating layer of low heat conductivity material bonded to said flexible sheet by said self-adhesive inner surface,
said insulating layer being of lesser area than said flexible sheet and leaving marginal areas of said self-adhesive inner surface of said flexible sheet exposed for adhesion to an underlying portion of said sheet material when wrapped around an object to be package to seal the package.
2. Sheet material according to claim 1 in which said flexible sheet is of polyvinyl having a white shiny outer surface and self-adhesive inner surface.
3. Sheet material according to claim 1, in which said insulating layer is open-cell plastic foam.
4. Sheet material according to claim 1, in which said sheet material is wound in a roll, said insulating layer being of sufficient thickness that exposed areas of said self-adhesive surface of said flexible sheet are spaced by said insulating layer from underlying convolutions of said sheet material to prevent adhesion to said underlying convolutions without a release backing sheet.
5. A sealed isothermal package of an object, comprising sheet material wrapped around the object with an overlap said sheet material comprising,
a flexible sheet having a highly reflective outer surface and a self-adhesive inner surface, and
a flexible insulating layer of low heat conductivity material bonded to said flexible sheet by said self-adhesive inner surface,
said insulating layer being of lesser area than said flexible sheet and leaving marginal areas of said self-adhesive inner surface of said flexible sheet exposed, said marginal areas of said self-adhesive inner surface of said flexible sheet being adhered to contiguous portions of said sheet material to seal the package.
6. A package according to claim 5, in which said flexible sheet is a plastic sheet having a shiny outer surface and a self-adhesive inner surface, and said insulating layer is open-cell plastic foam.
7. A package according to claim 5, in which said sheet material is wrapped a plurality of times around said object to form a multi-layer package.
Every day, millions of people are faced with the problem of carrying products whose quality, flavour or appearance deteriorates rapidly if they are not kept below or above certain temperatures.
The critical temperature varies very widely depending on the nature of the products. By way of example, it is +8� C. for butter and cheese, +13� C. for meat and fish, about +42� C. for ready-cooked or prepared foods intended to be eaten hot (roast chicken, hot ham, etc.), -8� C. for deep-frozen foods, this being the temperature above which the products may not be re-frozen without risk to the consumers' health, about +18� C. for some pharmaceuticals (suppositories, etc.), about +20� C. for flowers and plants, etc., etc.
It is possible with the material of the invention to package these products and keep them for a fairly long period at a temperature which only very slowly approaches ambient temperature and their critical temperatures. It thus makes it possible to preserve these products for several hours (from 2 to 12, depending on the circumstances) at a temperature at which they are suitable for consumption or use. This period of time is at least long enough to cover the normal transport period. This material is characterised by the fact that it consists of a flexible sheet with one highly reflective surface and comprises at least one layer of material of low heat conductivity, e.g. plastic foam or unwoven textile fibres. The package is obtained by wrapping the sheet once or several times around the product to be preserved, with the reflective side outwards, and then closing the package by independent or specially designed means by fastening together the juxtaposed parts of the longitudinal edges and applying the free transverse edge against the body of the package.
The package thus obtained is cheap, occupies very little space, is unbreakable, re-usable and in addition affords good shock protection.
The attached drawings illustrate diagrammatically and by way of example an embodiment of the object of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the package ready for use.
FIGS. 2 and 3 are cross-sections through a package made by means of this embodiment in perpendicular planes.
FIG. 4 is a graph showing the temperature of the packed product as a function of time.
FIG. 5 illustrates the mass production and storage of the material.
The isothermal packaging material shown in the drawing consists of a flexible rectangular sheet 10 of polyvinyl, 40 cm wide, 90 cm long and 0.5 mm thick, which is white and shiny on its outer surface and self-adhesive on the inner, and a layer of open-celled plastic foam 11, 5 mm thick, adhesively secured to the inner surface of the sheet.
This layer 11 is discontinuous in order to reveal the self-adhesive surface of sheet 10 along a transverse section 12 and along two longitudinal strips 13.
FIGS. 2 and 3 show how the sheet illustrated in FIG. 1 is used to wrap a 400 g block of ice cream.
The sheet is wrapped three times around the block and the package thus obtained is closed by pressing self-adhesive strips 12 and 13 against the corresponding surfaces of the shiny side of sheet 10.
This package, placed in an environment with an ambient temperature of +22� C., is capable of keeping the block of ice cream, initially at a temperature of -20� C., cool for about 2 hours before it reaches the temperature of -8� C. at which it begins to melt (FIG. 4). The package thus gives a much better performance than the aluminium carriers or bags found in supermarkets, which will keep the same block in the same conditions for hardly an hour.
Sheets as shown in FIG. 1 will best be continuously mass-produced, stored on rolls and used as required by cutting the sheets off one after the other.
The packaging material shown in the drawing is more especially intended for pre-packed products. In a variant intended for non-pre-packed products, particularly meat, it is possible to provide an additional inner layer partly covering the foam, which may, for instance, be aluminium foil, PVC film or greaseproof paper, to protect the product and prevent it from leaking into the foam. This additional layer may be adhesively secured to the layer of foam solely along one edge in order to prevent crumpling.
In another variant, the flexible sheet may comprise an area without adhesive contiguous to strip 12 to provide a grip on the edge for the purposes of opening the package.
It will be noted that the seal and the heat insulation of the edges of the package are reinforced by the continuous adhesion area constituted by strips 12 and 13 and by the pressure exerted on the foam in this area.
It will be also noted that, when the sheets are stored in rolls, the self-adhesive strips 12 and 13 are in contact with neither the air nor the foam and are therefore always clean and usable.
The packages may be closed by other means than self-adhesive surfaces, e.g. by clips, clamps, pressure, string, elastic bands or nets, etc. The package may also be closed at the sides like conventional packages by folding the sides beneath the body of the package.

Mepkin Abbey's Annual Crèche Festival Draws Thousands to Celebrate Diverse Nativity Scenes
Even as a boy, Father Guerric Heckel felt the nostalgic love and holy essence of the Nativity scenes his family displayed in their fireplace, when it wasn't in use, of course.
So when the priest-turned-monk became manager of Mepkin Abbey's store, he thought it fitting that the Trappist monastery be a destination point for people seeking handmade manger scenes. So he placed an order for several thousand, and the abbey's hugely successful annual creche festival was born.Read More »
Slow Down and Work Together for a Cainhoy Alternative
This op ed piece was written by Abbot Stan and appeared in the Sun, Feb. 2 edition of The Post & Courier.
The Brothers at Mepkin Abbey have followed the discussion about the fate of Cainhoy Plantation over the past three months. We are hopeful that a positive outcome can be achieved for this important property, and with that in mind offer a message of patience and hope.
Mepkin Abbey, a Trappist monastery at the confluence of the two forks of the Cooper River, played a role in the conservation of the historic Cooper River corridor. Mepkin was originally the estate of several historic families including Sir John Colleton, Henry Laurens, and thereafter the well-known publisher, Henry Luce. In 1949, the Luces donated a large portion of the property to the Trappist Order. It was then that we accepted the hallowed role of stewards of Mepkin, a place we believe to be set in one of the most beautiful and sacred landscapes in America.
Our goal has been to respect the historic and ecological integrity of the property and be good members of the Cooper River community. Leading a monastic life, traditionally our community involvement is of the quiet kind.Read More »

Red water after blanching beans......??
Today I blanched some Roma pole beans and Blue Lake pole beans before freezing them. Later, after the water had cooled, I went to dump it down the sink and here's what I found. Very strange! I've blanched Blue Lakes before, but not Roma poles. I don't think they have brown seeds, do they?
This was very strange to find!
And it wasn't red when I was taking them out of the boiling water to cool them off......
Any ideas??
What the heck is going on? This morning I blanched a mixed batch of end-of-season beans...Dragon Tongue, Jumbo, Half-Runners, Blue Lakes, etc. When I poured out the cooled water, it was red! I've been blanching beans for years and I've never seen anything like this. I'm on spring water that flows out of my mountain.
Well its good to know I'm not the only one!
Sweetquietplace.........did you have a drought this summer? We had a severe one, and I'm wondering if it has something to do with that.........like the beans put out "stress hormones" that might cause the red?. haha
wertach.........I know I'm picking these Romano pole beans fairly immature......but their seeds are white. Do they turn dark when dried?
Up until the last month I had a wet, wet, wet season. The last month has been bone dry and it's the beans I picked during this time and blanched that the water turned red. You really may be onto something with your "stress hormone" theory. That's certainly as good as my blaming every gardening weirdness on chemtrails.
I really know very little about all the intricacies of beans.......but I wonder also if the seeds don't turn brown until later, maybe if you pick them before they're dry, that "dye" (even though not present visually before that) shows up in the water with heating. ?? Just guessing though. Its a mystery! haha
wertach.....when exactly do the seeds turn brown?
"wertach.....when exactly do the seeds turn brown?"
I don't know exactly, when they turn brown. I haven't grown Romanos in years. I let them dry on the vine way back then and they were brown when I shelled them.
Are you blanching them together? The Blue Lake shouldn't turn the water red. They are white when dried.
I blanched and cooked some blue lake last night and the water was clear at blanching stage. After cooking the ones that I served for supper the water had a darker tint but not red.
Just a thought, not sure if it would cause the redness, what kind of pot are you using? I know a cast iron pot will make the water darker, but an aluminum pot may also make it change colors.
I have always use stainless steel pots.
Are you adding anything to the pot like salt or spices?
When I cook green beans I steam them most of the time, the water when I pour it out is never clear. I just did Blue Greasy Grits for dinner the other night, the water was pink. I think the water is always a pinkish color, maybe different shades of pink/red but it's never clear. I've never given it much thought :).
There are lots of bean seed that change color as they dry, some quite dramatically in a very short time, some change color over a longer period. I had one variety that changed from white to brown in a matter of a few hours.

Scotland and The North
... we saw and by the time we got to the border we were in piles of it. We arrived into Edinburgh and checked into the apartment we booked for the next two nights. We were right in town and were able to walk around and find something nice for dinner. We spent the next day at the Castle where we battled the wind to stay on our feet. Deciding to head indoors we went to the Museum next before myself, Jessie and my mum did some retail therapy. We got some souvenirs ...
Highland Coos and Loch Ness Monsters!
... given us specific instructions on where to go, and sure enough after we'd climbed the stairs and just as we passed along Binns' favourite corridor, Brydie burst out of a door that unbeknownst to us connected the bar on the lower level to us in the corridor on the upper level via a hidden stairway and scared the living bejesus out of us!! After a bit more dancing and watching some pretty epic YouTube videos, we crashed into bed ahead of another big day ...
Day Ten - Inverness
... omelette. Now readers this is where **** started to get weird. Out came the special flied lice smothered in roast pork and gravy, I **** you not ******* roast pork and gravy on the flied lice. Oh well this must be a Scottish take on the dish. Then the prawn omelette finally come out sitting on top of about 5 kilos of chips and peas. Now I love peas and chips, ahh **** it lets just eat up. After that we headed back to the Inn and having a quite night prior to the drive to Glasgow ...
Strathpeffer to Aberdeen
... the Scottish Highlands in the aftermath of the Jacobite rising of 1745, replacing a Fort George in Inverness constructed after the 1715 Jacobite rising to control the area. The current fortress has never been attacked and has remained in continuous use as a garrison." A very interesting place to visit.
Headed east ...
Shanks' Pony Gets a Workout
... about them, they're just plain delicious!
We met up with the laddies at the golf course, and after a quick drink we headed back to The Old Smiddy.
Since we arrived, Greg and I had told Chris and Hazell how keen we were to get some serious walking in, and behind their house looms the impressive Cat's Back, not really a mountain, but definitely a big hill.. or, one might say, a High Land... :) As we have to leave tomorrow, we decided to take ...

New ones today :) and a mystery
Best In Class I think was a trade or bonus, can't remember but it doubled in size in a very short time. It's a little too perfectly red and rounded for me (I know, too perfect is a problem?) but I'll keep it for now.
This was early this morning so it was still in the shade and this upclose pic doesn't show its' true redness. Plus it's still in the morning shade.
yup that's thrips damage
Cheetah Safari blooming quite low
Rainbow Radiance is my all time favorite - not the best pic of it here but it's superb.
Stately Sir, not the best bud maker or multiplier but it's not taking up any space (next to my tomatoes) so it can stay for now.
Free Wheelin'
FFO for Porcelain Ruffles
Now I'm confused. I have this one labeled as RUE MADELAINE but it's so dark. The second pic is a clump of it and it's multiplied so quickly - looks great. The 3rd pic is from last year of a daylily near it that I THOUGHT was Rue Madelaine and now I'm not sure what it is. :(
I thought maybe it would lighten up but when I got home from work at 5:30 it was still quite dark.
and my rue madelaine that is probably not rue madelaine
I'm confused. Someone help me.
That purple mystery is a beauty. I hate to have mysteries like that, though in my yard and I have a few. Beautiful budding on it too. Looking on the net, people post everything from a deep wine to dark purple for Rue Madeleine. Cheetah Safari and Free Wheelin' both look really good. Best in Class is a lovely red.

Hello! It's a pleasure to joinI'm a full time Graphic Design student (my 50th birthday present to me) and it is a dream come true.
I love it all and I'm looking forward to learning by listening, and asking when I need to. I'm taking Photoshop and InDesign along with Photography, Design 1 and Drawing. My biggest challenge right now is my grey value scale(11) for Design 1 (I do love the guache my instructor required) My background is working with fabric, so I understand color. I'm going for perfect increments because training my eye to see it will be invaluable. I'm just not there yet...I'm enjoying the process...InDesign is online and that's a bit tricky. The program is brand new to me, and I know I'm spending hours on things that should be easier...Our book is Revealed, I use the Help a lot but I'd love a couple of reference library referrals to add to my stash. Thanks, and I'll try to be less verbose and more concise...
I'm just really glad to be here!Last edited by svd; 09-02-2006, 03:44 PM.Tags: None
Welcome to the forum svd, and congratulations on being able to pursue your dream.
You'll find a lot of invaluable advice on here. Check the Adobe products section often, use the forum search for InDesign, and definitely check out this link: InDesign Secrets.
If you have iTunes, there are also some good podcasts on InDesign that you can check out, and the Adobe InDesign forum is also a good place to go for resources.
Good luck, and once again, welcome!"Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!" - Ricky Ricardo

Circline Bulbs suck!!!!
I just finally replaced my horrible "garage" style 4 light fluorescent fixture in my kitchen with a much more attractive circular fixture with brushed silver trim. The light takes a 40 w 16 inch and a 32 w 12 inch circline fluorescent bulbs. The light looks much better, but it puts out a paltry amount of light. I am so disappointed. I have searched on the web and cannot find circline bulbs in a warm color with a high cri. The lighting coming out of the fixture looks horrible and is so dim.
Is there someplace to buy GOOD circline bulbs or are there any attractive fluorescent fixtures that use t8 bulbs out there? I guess I could go with one of the "puff" lights or one of the lights that are wrapped with crown molding. Neither of those options really excite me, honestly. Any ideas?
Have you checked out Osram's 30w Circline bulb? I don't what type of fixture you are working with, but this E26 base bulb has a CRI of 82 and a 3,000K color temperature, so it has pretty good color rendering and is pretty warm. I had one of these in a shed of mine once and I liked it. I think BulbAmerica has these and pretty cheap too.
Good luck!

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
You would still, need to have some code which at some point instantiates the objects and sets its fields, however, you could write a small Class Factory (using the Factory Design Pattern) which will allow you to construct objects behind the scenes.

Thurston Moore's Chelsea Light Moving
Birds Of Avalon
Local 506
506 W. Franklin St
Chapel Hill, NC, 27516
Doors 8:30 PM / Show 9:00 PM
Watch & Listen
CHELSEA LIGHT MOVING is the current group led by Sonic Youth founder Thurston Moore. He is the songwriter and plays over-amped hyper electric guitar and sings with raw-glam-destructo vocals. The band is a four piece featuring Samara Lubelski, who has played violin with TM on his last two solo LPs (Demolished Thoughts and Trees Outside The Academy) and with CHELSEA LIGHT MOVING plays deep psyche pop metal bass guitar. Keith Wood, who records under the aegis Hush Arbors, plays electric guitar with a pick forged from angel wing and John Moloney, aka "Pegasus", approaches the drums like an asteroid hurtling toward Earth. The first CD self-titled was recorded in two spurious sessions with engineer Justin Pizzoferrato in Sone Lab, a killer studio in Easthampton MASSACHUSETTS. The band is ready to detonate any birthday party, wedding or hullaboo in any country, planet or stratosphere that doesn't support right wing extremist NRA sucking bozo-ology.
In a 1906 essay, Ernst Jentsch describes someone to whom something "uncanny" happens to as not "at home" or disoriented. He defines the word as "doubts whether an apparently animate being is really alive; or conversely, whether a lifeless object might be, in fact animate." Having spent the better part of the past two years on the road with the likes of The Racontuers, The Flaming Lips, Black Mountain and Ted Leo, BIRDS OF AVALON are no strangers to the sense of unsettlement that accompanies the constant traveler. BIRDS OF AVALON explore this concept of confusion with Uncanny Valley, by layering psychedelic dissonance atop lyrical themes of fugitives in the computer age, underground-dwelling children replaced by doppelgangers, and sensations of unreality.

Hi I made a java swing application. Also created jar of that file. Now I want to make that file in installable format (means in .exe format for windows bin format for linux X86 format).
If we install any software we get some license agreement. I want to make my jar in that format which can be installed in any platform. So is there any free and easy to use installer which can give me that feature. Or is there any way that I can get the same installable format using java program
Thanks Sunil Kumar Sahoo

A7: Alchemist's Errand (PFRPG) PDF
AAW Games(based on 2 ratings)
A Pathfinder Roleplaying Game/3.5 Compatible Adventure for 4-6 PCs of levels 6-8.
Adventureaweek.com PDFs are fully supported by Hero Lab files (included in download), minimum requirement: Pathfinder Roleplaying Game core system.
Sometimes it is the simplest of tasks which end up taking much more of time and energy than they should. When the party is asked by the local sage to collect some rare flora, it feels like relatively easy money; a journey into the woods they've traveled before, a conversation with someone they've met before and then on to gather the crop. The characters can hear the Thirsty Serpent tavern calling them after a brisk afternoon's work.
But the PCs' plans go awry when it turns out nothing is quite that straighforward. Deals have to be struck, foes defeated, anger and scorn dealt with and then the whole process gone through again. When there is duplicity at every turn and double-crossing is done with relish, the PCs have to keep their wits and weapons equally sharp. Dealing with someone who is prepared to cross the line between humiliation and harm at a moment's notice is a tough challenge; this quickly becomes about much more than mere mushrooms!

CRT - cathode-ray tube
)Abbreviation of cathode-ray tube, the technology used in most televisions and computer display screens. A CRT works by moving an electron beam back and forth across the back of the screen. Each time the beam makes a pass across the screen, it lights up phosphor dots on the inside of the glass tube, thereby illuminating the active portions of the screen. By drawing many such lines from the top to the bottom of the screen, it creates an entire screenful of images.
