Time: 08:30 AM to 17:00 PM
Location:East West Center, Hawaii Imin International Conference Center, 1177 East West Road, Honolulu
Room: Asia (top floor)
The Pacific is now the only region of the world with no initiative in Research & Education (R&E) networking, lagging Africa, the Caribbean, and South and Southeast Asia. New infrastructure in the Pacific and new planning initiatives from the U.S. and Europe may provide the first real opportunity to connect education and research in the Pacific to the rest of the world in order to benefit Pacific Island communities and economies. This workshop is designed as a working session intended to bring key participants and stakeholders together to identify solutions.

- Guiding principles
- As elsewhere in the world, colleges and universities are the "anchors" for R&E networking whenever possible.
- Fiber is the first choice for R&E network connectivity where available, followed by terrestrial connection to an anchor or satellite.
- Connecting Anchor Institutions in the Pacific
- US-affiliated / North Pacific - Build out Guam as an R&E hub using existing fiber from Guam to Hawaii. Connect other anchors using existing fiber from Northern Marianas, FSM and RMI to Guam. Monitor nascent Palau fiber project. Connect other sites via O3b, wireless wireless (e.g. ICTP, PISCES models) or other satellite facilities. Figure out how to connect American Samoa and Samoa, either via the existing fiber (to Hawaii), new fiber or O3b.
- South Pacific - Work with USP to take USPNet to the next level. In most of the islands the USP Campus is the main higher ed presence. Connect Fiji to Hawaii as well as AU and identify opportunities with the (proposed new) Hawaiki fiber project for the locations that are feasible. Identify possibilities for O3b in those and other locations.
- French Pacific - Figure out how to get UPF connected to Hawaii and UNC connected to AARNet via existing fiber. Consider feasible possibilities for Wallis & Futuna via Hawaiki or O3b.
- PNG - Develop a PNG Plan with PNGArnet and others.
- In addition, for all anchor institutions:
- Identify R&E application drivers
- Make preliminary assessment of campus network and HR capacity.
- Connecting Research Sites in the Pacific
Use Dale's research to identify the most signficant research sites with connectivity requirements that are not at/on a campus and see if they are close enough to connect terrestrially. If not, are they in a footprint where we can use an O3b beam. For example, for Gump/Moorea we'd try to get to UPF to connect to Hawaii. For Palmyra we'd need to see if it's in the O3b footprint (within 700km) of any other sites.
- Shipboard Research in the Pacific
Can we acquire a "mobile" O3b beam that can be pointed at the highest priority cruise in the Pacific at any particular time based on the input of the Oceanographic research community, perhaps working with HiSeasNet and UNOLS?What would be the implications for shipboard operations, gateway connections and coordination/scheduling?
- Galapagos
Identify beam availability, gateway location and connectivity, research drivers and funding possibilities.
- O3b Specific
To support fixed and mobile O3b sites, identify where and how to connect from relevant O3b gateways to major R&E network providers (Hawaii/UH, Perth/AARNet, Galapagos?).
- Hawaiki Specific
Is there a way to acquire an "R&E wave" on the backbone to be made available at all locations?

A Caesar celebration: Saucy Canadian cocktail hits the big 4-0
TORONTO — It's an unmistakable Canadian cocktail: a blood-red mash-up of clams and tomatoes, of spices and sweets, and this month all are hailing the beloved Caesar.
The red-hot beverage still looks pretty good for 40.
As part of the 40th-anniversary celebrations, MacMillan was on hand Monday evening at an event challenging media-types to make the quintessential Canadian brew.
It yielded some interesting concoctions: a Caesar mixed with Canadian beer, a Caesar rimmed with Tim Hortons coffee grinds, and a BLT Caesar with a splash of bacon-infused vodka.
"We saw some Caesars made with maple syrup as a bonding ingredient," MacMillan said with a smile before he mentioned the finishing touch — a hockey stick carved out of celery.
The iconic summer-time drink and, on occasion, hangover cure, was created in 1969 in Calgary by a bartender named Walter Chell.
Chell worked at the Owl's Nest bar in the Calgary Inn, now the Westin Hotel.
He was asked to make a brand-new cocktail for an Italian restaurant within the hotel.
The original Caesar was made with hand-mashed clams, tomato juice, vodka and spices. It was given the name of the famous Italian emperor and became known as the Bloody Caesar.
Today, the drink has flamed across the country from west to east.
"Canadians annually drink about 300 million Caesars, which if you break that down based on head of population we're looking at 10 Caesars per man, woman and child," said MacMillan, adding the virgin version of the drink is popular too.
But the cocktail has remained uniquely Canadian. Beyond our borders, it's found in pockets of Europe. The key ingredient, clamato juice, is mostly popular with expats in the United States.
"If you go to a border town in the U.S. you might get people who know what a Bloody Caesar is, but usually anywhere else it has to be a community where there are a lot of Canadians," said Susan George from Tabasco Food Service Canada.
Hot sauce is an ingredient in the Caesar, which turns the tame sip into a fiery fusion of tomato, clam and vodka.
Bartenders say the drink's popularity can be broken down into simple chemistry. The tongue has sweet, bitter, sour and salty tastebuds and the Caesar, with its juices, salted rim, lime, hot sauces and spices, seems to satisfy.
"When you hit all four of those taste buds it's impossible not to have a great drink," said MacMillan, adding it's a savoury cocktail, which lends itself to a nice steak dinner.
As for the old wives' tale that it's a hair-of-the-dog remedy, well, MacMillan said, though chock-full of vitamins and minerals, the drink may lack medicinal properties.
"I have a tough time saying it's a cure for hangovers. I also admit I've had quite a few when I've been feeling the effects of alcohol from the night before."
When it comes to making the perfect Caesar, Canadians are particularly fussy. Here are the basic ingredients, followed by a few innovative variations:
— Tomato clam cocktail
— Hot pepper sauce
— Worcestershire sauce
— Vodka
— Dash of salt and pepper
— Garnish: Celery salt rimmer, a celery stalk and a wedge of lime are longtime favourites.

The Wave Organ is a wave-activated sound sculpture located at the end of a jetty in the San Francisco Bay. It was created by artist Peter Richards and master stonemason George Gonzalez in 1986.
The installation is an unlikely sight: a collection of curbstones and cemetery stones that appear in the Bay like an ancient ruin or a strange dream. In this unusual place of discovery and contemplation, the musical phenomenon is only part of the point.
In this audio slideshow, Peter Richards, now a senior artist at the Exploratorium, shares his inspiration for creating this piece and explores its function as a theater in which many different kinds of human experiences unfold.

text: Health HealthCare.gov costs show that feds have literally no idea how to build a big web site Above: HealthCare.gov, a site that was bedeviled with error messages and bugs Image Credit: Screenshot November 1, 2013 4:01 PM Dylan Tweney 0 Could you build a working website for $300 million? Apparently, the U.S. government is having difficulty doing that. HealthCare.gov, the website meant to help people find insurance under the Affordable Care Act, has cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build, and it still doesn't work right. Cost estimates vary, but the Washington Post figures that the government has spent at least $170 million, and possibly as much as $292 million — so far. The Sunlight Foundation examined payments made to the site's chief contractor, Virginia-based CGI Federal (a subsidiary of a Canadian company, CGI Global), and estimated that CGI alone received $70 million in payments so far. Above: @Healthcaregov is the insurance exchange's official Twitter feed — and it's dominated by notices of outagesImage Credit: Screenshot And yet the site has performed so badly since its launch a month ago that people can't even create accounts. It's frequently offline, and even when you can log on, it's often so slow as to be unusable, according to reports. The most updates from the site's official Twitter account illustrate the problem perfectly: Of the most recent five, four were about site outages, and one encouraged people to apply for insurance using paper forms. Paper! That it got me to thinking: Just how much money does it take to build a website like this? In all the years that I've covered Internet technology, I've rarely run into a website — no matter how complex — that cost anywhere near that amount. Even if you add in costs for complex back-end systems integration, training, and marketing, $170 million to almost $300 million is way more than you could possibly need. I can't even figure out where that much money would go. Now, it's not really fair to call this a web "site" — it's more of a web application, as longtime Java guy Miko Matsumura, now a VP of developer relations at HazelCast, told me. "A web application of this size is very problematic, especially when you have distributed accountability and you have a poor integration and testing paradigm in place," Matsumura said. In other words: There's a lot of stuff going on in the background that needs to be tied together, and whenever you build a complex system made of many different, interconnected parts, it's going to be expensive — and will require a lot of time to test (which the makers of HealthCare.gov didn't have — the compressed launch timeline gave them just a week for testing, a ridiculously short period.) Fair enough. Editor's note: Developers! Think you're good enough to fix HealthCare.gov? Check out our upcoming DevBeat conference, Nov. 12-13 in San Francisco, is a hands-on event for excellent developers, all aimed at boosting your code skills, security knowledge, hardware hacking, and career development. Register now. But let's take a look at what else you could build for almost $300 million — like Facebook, for instance. By the time Facebook had raised $280 million, in October 2007, it had about 50 million users, had recruited 100,000 businesses to create Facebook pages, and was just launching its developer platform. It was already looking like the dominant social network. And it was dead easy to create a new account. Note that Facebook had raised almost $300 million by late 2007 — it hadn't spent nearly that much. And yet it accomplished so much more than HealthCare.gov did with the same budget. Above: Costs to launch various web companies — and Healthcare.gov — in millions of dollars.Image Credit: VentureBeat Other private companies have done as much by spending even less. Instagram's founders turned $57.5 million of capital into a company worth over a billion dollars. Workday raised just $175 million, and LinkedIn $200 million, before their successful IPOs. But those aren't health care-related companies. The data and regulatory complexity of health care makes it a lot harder to build a working web site, right? Maybe not. Castlight Health, a company that collects data on health care providers to help consumers make informed choices, has raised just $160 million so far. Its web-based service seems to be working just fine. Oscar, a private health insurance exchange (limited to New York residents for now) has raised $40 million. eHealth and GetInsured have been offering health insurance comparison-shopping for years, and while I couldn't find how much money those two companies have raised, it's worth noting that they exist, and they work — so it's not like the makers of HealthCare.gov were tackling an insoluble problem. Other smart people are drawing the same conclusion as Matsumura: This was a complicated project, yes, but it was crippled by bad management. "The real problems are with the back end of the software," Dan Hanson wrote on Marginal Revolution, a blog run by economist Tyler Cowen. "When you try to get a quote for health insurance, the system has to connect to computers at the IRS, the VA, Medicaid/CHIP, various state agencies, Treasury, and HHS. They also have to connect to all the health plan carriers to get pre-subsidy pricing. All of these queries receive data that is then fed into the online calculator to give you a price. If any of these queries fails, the whole transaction fails." That gives you a peek at what is so complicated about the site, but it's not an unheard-of level of complexity. The real problem seems to be that the project was run without effective oversight. "The best way to do a project of this size is to iterate around a core of 4-5 extremely elite engineers who are building a platform based around something extremely scalable," Matsumura said. "Once you have that nucleus in place, you can begin to integrate applications. Even with such a paradigm, you have issues about distributed application clustering and scalability. "Sadly, there are web applications for less important things that have handled way more traffic." Let's not even get into how many lines of code it took to build HealthCare.gov. One of the estimates being bandied about is that it contains 500 million lines of code — an absurd figure, as it translates to 10 times the amount of code in Windows Vista, or, if you figure 500 developers were banging away at their keyboards for a whole year, about 83,000 lines of code for every man-month. (The man-month is a mythical concept used by old-school tech developers and, perhaps, government contractors.) Let's just say that HealthCare.gov is fantastically complex and lacked the competent oversight that such a complicated tech project demands. It's telling that CGI was saying that testing the service was the government's responsibility and wasn't part of its contract. If so, then shame on the feds for offering CGI a contract without testing built in. You just can't build and deploy a site like this without extensive testing, and that testing needs to be tightly integrated with the development of the site. "None of these missteps would have occurred if the contractors had taken a gradual, agile approach," Practice Fusion cofounder Matthew Douglass wrote this week on VentureBeat. Practice Fusion, by the way, has built a successful, nationwide platform for electronic health records now used by over 100,000 medical professionals. Its total fundraising to date? Just $140 million. President Barack Obama took to the Rose Garden a week ago to talk about how disappointed he was in the site and to promise a "tech surge" aimed at fixing it. (As if that will work.) Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius spent hours on Capitol Hill this week, offering her apologies and getting grilled by Congressmen about the site's failure. But any number of apologies won't fix this basic fact: As with so many other government projects, we've thrown hundreds of millions of dollars at a problem that could have been solved with a fraction of the expenditure — if someone in charge actually knew what they were doing.

- Perfect for your own yellow brick road!
- Pros: Unique, Authentic Looking, Comfortable, Lots of Fun, Cute

The costume arrived in a few days which was perfect as I wasn't about to cancel my ticket to the Bournemouth annual Wizard of Oz convention. Needless to say I was the belle of the ball, and regardless of my chest chair or overbite. I won the grand prize and am now the proud owner of a Kenwood coffee machine that had only been used twice! If anybody knows where I can get a dead dog to stuff for my toto then I'll let them follow my yellow brick road - if you get my meaning!

Kommando is absolutely right! Really, how much wattage am I saving by using LEDs in the turn signals considering I rarely use them?
Sometimes logic, when applied correctly sure does end up making sense. I'm just going to switch back to the normal, filament bulbs. I'm not using them as marker lights, so yes the watt usage would be minimal at best.
Sometimes instead of using my motorcycle(s) for transportation, I should just ride the short bus!
Good move! Unless you're one of those riders that cruises down the road with signals blinking away ... oblivious !
... then should not be a prob.
My routine for managing my elec. output/battery life is this:
When super cold I'll be running everything up at 100%, the Gerbing draws 77 watts at 100%. Heated grips on HIGH (about 30 watts). That about expends ALL of the DR's extra Watts. My 35W HID light saves 20 Watts.
Daylight riding in super cold on a longer ride I switch off my headlight. (this is optional, as on certain roads running your headlight can be a safety issue) At night, no choice, head light must be ON. But if you can turn off headlight in daylight ... that's another 35W to 55W free saving. (depending which bulb type you're using)
Any time I come into a town or area with speed reduction I switch OFF all accessories. I try to minimize brake light & turn signal use. At low RPM engine is charging LESS ... so going slow? Accessories OFF.
Remember: Your battery may discharge some if you are over taxing it and discharging .... BUT ... once accessories are switched OFF ... you battery will recover! (providing it's reasonably healthy)
I've gone from a dead batt that would not turn over the motor to one that cranks ... in just 20 minutes of riding with accessories OFF.
So, even if your Batt gets low or goes dead ... it will come back in most cases. Just manage your accessories.

Tough to root against a dude who may be fighting for his spot in the organization, but Danzig just rubs me the wrong way. Which is highly relevant, trust me.
As is the fact that Joe Daddy has four sons (that actually might be relevant).
This wasn't simply a case of a guy getting caught, Danzig was cutting Stevenson up during the standing exchanges before landing the final crusher. Joe Daddy landed a few shots, but nothing of real consequence whereas Mac looked like a different fighter.
His striking was crisp and varied with a smattering of leg kicks to complement his hands. Granted, it was all moot once the counter left hook plunged his opponent face first into the canvas and darkness beyond it.
Well, that makes two predictions gone horribly and perfectly awry. Very impressive from the winner.
Mac Danzig defeats Joe Stevenson by KO at 1:54 of the first round.

CHIPLEY – Chipley City Council approved of Washington County Planning and Zoning's recommendation during their meeting on Tuesday night to approve Jamey Lane's request for a development order to construct a drive thru convenient store on the northwest corner of State Road 77 and Chestnut Hill Street.
"Planning and Zoning reviewed the application thoroughly before submitting it to the city for approval," said City Administrator Dan Miner. "There were some adjustments that needed to be made but it was all discussed and approved at the Planning and Zoning meeting. The store will be much like the one in Graceville and will include access from Chestnut Street and a retention pond."
Lane informed the Council that he was hoping to have the store open by the first of October.
"It is a great idea," said Council member Karen Rustin. "I love the one in Graceville; it is so convenient."
· Council approved Ordinance 929, which renews the city's existing contract with Waste Management for another three years. Miner assured the Council that there were no variations between the two contracts and the price remains the same.
· Mayor Linda Cain also informed the Council that a resident was having issues with their ditch and Miner agreed to have Public Works look into the matter to see what could possibly be done.
· Miner informed the Council that former Council member Price Wilson was currently residing at the Washington County Nursing and Rehabilitation Center if they wished to visit him.
· Miner reminded the Council that the Watermelon Festival is on June 27, with the Watermelon Parade starting at 10 a.m.
· Council members discussed the possibility of temporarily putting the city's siren back up at least for the upcoming hurricane season.

Kim Kardashian has always been the first to try on the latest fashion trend.
Kim seemed to be wearing a half finished dress. Copyright [Wenn]
But now it seems that the reality star was so keen to wear one garment that she seemingly stole it from the designer's mannequin before it was finished.
Kim wore a white cut out dress when visiting Kuwait City at the launch of milkshake chain 'Millions of Milkshakes'.
[Related article: Kim Kardashian's dress rips, oops]
[Related article: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Paris Fashion Fail]
We're not quite sure what to think of the unfinished looking dress which she paired with an eye catching gold belt and white and gold stilettos.
It isn't exactly the first outfit that comes to mind when launching a milkshake store but then again, this is Kim Kardashian we're talking about here.
Kim however wasn't afraid of getting her hands, and potentially her dress, dirty, posing for camera's as she made a batch of drinks behind the counter.
Kim avoids a nasty stain on her white dress. Copyright [Wenn]
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star tweeted fans following the event to thank them for supporting her.
She wrote: "THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SHOWED UP AT MILLIONS OF MILKSHAKES IN KUWAIT."
Back in America, Kim's bitter feud with husband Kris Humphries continues to get nasty.
Kim Kardashian has admitted to feeling 'handcuffed' to her estranged husband and wants a simple divorce from him.
However, Kris isn't backing down easily, demanding she return his $2 million engagement ring and to get an annulment from the star based on the grounds of fraud.
And we thought making milkshakes was messy.

Maurice Papon has just died at the age of ninety-six, but his name will always stand for France's moral collapse in 1940, and that country's inability—or reluctance—to redress matters afterwards. In his capacity as a ranking Vichy official, the documentation proves, he signed the deportation orders to Auschwitz for 1,690 Jews, 223 of whom were children, organizing sixteen trains for them, the last in June 1944 when German defeat was certain. It was also his idea to send the bill for the expense of the requisite cattle-trucks to the Jewish representative council, thus obliging the victims to pay for their journey to be murdered. One of his German superiors described him as a sincere collaborator, "co-operating correctly with the Feldkommandatur."
Collaboration with Nazism was the political choice taken by Marshal Pétain after the fall of France; it was pre-war appeasement in the new context of military defeat. Pétain and his Vichy regime imagined that they were sparing France the sort of horrors inflicted on Poland, but in reality they were facilitating them. In the absence of enough German personnel trained in mass murder, the Nazi authorities had to rely on the French to do their work. The turning point was the accord signed in May 1942 between General Karl Oberg of the SS, and René Bousquet, general secretary of the French police. That accord placed the French gendarmerie at the service of the Nazi machinery of murder. One among many who could now obey orders zealously was Papon, and another was Jean Leguay, Bousquet's representative.
At the end of the war, Bousquet was condemned to five years of "national indignity," a somewhat unspecific term, then immediately granted reprieve and decorated for "resistance," in this case an even less specific term. Bousquet then enjoyed a spectacular career as an industrialist, protected by President Mitterand for no very evident reason except that he too had a compromising Vichy past. Leguay also had a successful business career. Papon fared best of all. General de Gaulle, no less, protected him, appointing him prefect of police in Paris. In that capacity, he supervised a crack-down on Algerians with thousands of arrests, and the massacre of perhaps a hundred of them, their corpses simply thrown into the Seine. Papon showed himself as adept at murdering Muslims as Jews. Under President Giscard d'Estaing, he entered the cabinet as budget minister.
Researching in the archives, Michel Slitinsky came across his own death warrant with Papon's signature on it. Slitinsky's father had been killed in Auschwitz, while he himself only just managed to escape arrest. In 1986, more than twenty years after the event, he brought Papon to justice. At his trial, Papon denounced the proceedings as "fake," claimed to have helped the resistance, and dismissed the evidence as lies, speaking of "plots," the usual fascist code for supposed Jewish world domination. Sentenced to ten years in prison for crimes against humanity, he fled defiantly to Switzerland, but was sent back and imprisoned. After he had served three years, the Chirac government had him released. The protection of such people by so many French presidents speaks volumes.
Like Papon, Leguay was indicted for crimes against humanity (though he died before going to prison). When I was writing my book Paris in the Third Reich, in which I describe his role in deporting Jews, he used to seek me out in order to plead that he had not really done anything wrong, and in any case had no choice, and would I please understand his predicament. Like Papon again, but in his more oily way, he showed no trace of remorse. Nor did Bousquet, who became more and more arrogant with the passing of time even though he too was facing a trial for crimes against humanity. One day, someone named Christian Didier—always labelled as "unbalanced"—turned up at his house and shot him dead.
The wish to hide complicity in mass murder may be humanly understandable, but it has rotted France's national conscience and self-respect. Unwillingness to acknowledge complicity in Nazi crime explains the lack of conscience—the sheer bad faith—of the French stance in so many post-war issues.

From John Goodman's Health Policy Blog:
A recent paper in Molecular Psychiatry … confirms that genes account for about half of the difference in IQ between any two people in a modern society, but that the relevant genes are very numerous and the effect of each is very small. The genes for intelligence are there, but there are thousands of them and each has only a tiny impact. So the old terror, which so alarmed many psychologists and educationalists, that one day people — or governments — would use genes to decide whom to kill, sterilize or prevent being born because of their intelligence, suddenly looks a lot less scary. There are just too many genes.
Entire Wall Street Journal article on IQ here.
While I'm not a geneticist, I would imagine that as with IQ so too with any number of complex human traits and behavior. The matter is simply too complex to identify a single gene–or even a small collection of genes–as the cause of this or that behavior or trait.
In Christ,
+Fr Gregory
Addendum: John Cleese talking about genetics….

What are some important character traits of Estella in Great Expectations?
1 Answer | Add Yours
In the first instance, Estella has been shaped into the harsh insensitive girl that Miss Haversham has made her to be. Miss Haversham takes this girl into her home (by way of Mr. Jaggers' arrangements, as revealed near the end of the novel). Miss Haversham is a very bitter old woman, jilted in her youth, who sits in the rotting filth of her many years of isolation. She has lost all hope of believing in the power of love again, so she torments the girl into becoming a tool to break hearts on her behalf.
When Pip comes onto the scene, Estella is promenaded in front of the boy to aggravate him into tears. In flitting moments, one can see a few glimmers of a kind heart in Estella, confirmed in the latter part of the novel; however, she is churlish, condescending, overbearing, humiliating, insulting, and otherwise a hideous girl due almost entirely to Miss Haversham's will to crush men, even such a one as young Pip.
Finally, she is well educated, very beautiful, and ultimately dutiful to her destiny.

Bean's Newest Green Store Takes Root at the Arboretum of South Barrington
Freeport, ME, August 25, 2008 – L.L.Bean, a leading retailer of quality outdoor gear and apparel, will open its first store in the Chicago area at the Arboretum of South Barrington, 9 a.m. on Friday, September 12. The much-anticipated store is the first L.L.Bean store to open in Illinois, and is one of two stores planned for the suburban Chicago area in 2008.
Chicagoans who love the outdoors are invited to the three-day grand opening celebration that promises fun and adventure for the whole family. When the doors open, L.L.Bean will give away gift cards – worth up to $500 – to the first 500 customers and signed Maine storybooks to the first 100 children. In the tradition of its flagship store in Freeport, Maine, the store will be open 24 hours a day during the Grand Opening weekend event. Late-night shoppers will be treated to free refreshments, live music and giveaways starting at 11 p.m. (while supplies last) on Friday and Saturday.
Expert instructors from L.L.Bean's Outdoor Discovery Schools� will offer free clinics, demonstrations and L.L.Bean's popular fly-casting Walk-On Adventures. Plus, join in on the fun GPS Techno Treasure Hunts. L.L.Bean's Walk-On Adventures program makes it easy for customers to try out a new activity. Normally $15, Walk-On Adventures are free throughout the Grand Opening weekend. Other free Grand Opening activities include birds of prey demonstrations from the Illinois Raptor Center, and hands-on activities with the Kohl Children's Museum of Greater Chicago, Chicago Wilderness, Chicagoland Bicycle Federation, Chicago Botanical Gardens, and the Chicago Zoological Society. There is also an opportunity to register to win a kayak package.
Bean's newest green store will employ approximately 125 people and offer a selection of high-quality outdoor gear and apparel including hiking, fly-fishing, kayaking, biking and camping products. The 30,000-square-foot store is built to US Green Building Council's LEED standards and is L.L.Bean's 7th LEED-built store. The store incorporates environmentally friendly building materials and fixtures and utilizes systems and technology to increase energy efficiency, thereby reducing the store's environmental footprint.
"L.L.Bean has a strong commitment to protecting and preserving outdoor spaces. Because of this commitment, it is important for the company to create a sustainable retail environment for our customers," said Ken Kacere, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Retail. "This is the first L.L.Bean store located outside the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic corridor and we are excited for this opportunity to bring a little piece of Freeport, Maine, to our devoted Chicago-area customers." L.L.Bean's South Barrington store offers a broad range of recreational products, hands-on opportunities with its Outdoor Discovery Schools, and a strong partnership with local conservation and recreational organizations that serve the surrounding communities.
In celebration of the new store and L.L.Bean's commitment to helping families enjoy the outdoors in their local communities, L.L.Bean will contribute $10,000 to the new South Barrington Conservancy to develop educational nature trails throughout the 35-acre, lightly wooded prairie and wetland area. In addition, L.L.Bean will donate the proceeds of its "Chairs for Charity" auction to the Conservancy. L.L.Bean is hosting this special auction during an invitation-only sneak preview reception at the store on Wednesday, September 10. L.L.Bean commissioned local artists, Sandie Bacon, Linda Doyle, Tyrue "Slang" Jones and Nino Rodriguez to customize the company's classic Adirondack Chairs using their own unique styles. The chairs will be on display throughout the Grand Opening weekend. Additionally, L.L.Bean will contribute $15,000 to Chicago Wilderness, a regional nature reserve, for programs aimed at connecting kids to nature and the outdoors.
Additional information about the L.L.Bean store at the Arboretum of South Barrington or the Grand Opening celebration is available at www.llbean.com/southbarrington.
The South Barrington store will be the company's first located in Illinois. Other L.L.Bean Retail Stores are located in McLean, Virginia; Columbia, Maryland; Marlton, New Jersey; West Lebanon, New Hampshire; Burlington and Mansfield, Massachusetts; Center Valley, Pennsylvania; Albany, New York; South Windsor, Connecticut and Freeport, Maine, the site of L.L.Bean's original Flagship Store, Hunting and Fishing Store and Bike, Boat and Ski Store.

Since the late 1960s Adam Michnik has been a major figure in Polish political life and one of the most known Polish intellectuals in the world. He has received a large number of awards, wrote a number of books, and is Editor-in-Chief of Gazeta Wyborcza, an influential Warsaw daily. In the 1980s many Poles considered him a national hero. In spite of that, no one in Poland wrote his biography. There is a genuine lack of not only scholarly texts, but also personal remembrances of people who knew him at various points in his life. According to his foreign (and only) biographer, Cyril Bouyeure, "Michnik has mastered the art of destabilizing the totalitarian regime—so why are political scientists and historians so shy in …

How do you remove lip products?
How do you remove lip products? With your regular remover? Something special?
For anything with a lot of color or tackiness, I use a cleansing oil, which is the same as what I use for eye and face makeup. If I just want to remove lip color, I like makeup removing wipes or a cotton round with makeup remover on it.

TransGaming: Caring about Linux gamesMarch 16th, 2004 by Alkini
As promised, Gav from TransGaming addressed somerecent issuesregarding the Linux gaming community's perspective of the WineX commitment to us. He did this in his latest Gavriel States… column. The main issues he addresses are their "Macintosh product" and their original business model.
In addition to that column, the new President's Message column lays out the "dire need" for "software ubiquity" and argues that "WineX is not dissuading developers from producing 'native' Linux games."
All of this news comes to us via the Transgamer newsletter of which the most space was dedicated to the headlining "Who cares about Linux anyway???" section. In the section they assure us that they "strongly support" the development initiatives of Ryan Gordon, LGP, GarageGames and others.

Nineteen people died near Kenya's Molo town when a 14-seat mini-bus carrying at least 28 people rolled off the road into a quarry Wednesday (January 2nd), Kenya's The Standard reported.
Seventeen people, including the driver, died immediately, with two later succumbing to their injuries at Molo District Hospital.
The vehicle was overloaded and speeding when it veered off the road, said Rift Valley Provincial Police Officer John Mbijiwe, who warned that any police officer who saw the matatu and failed to take action would be held accountable.
"It is not acceptable to see innocent Kenyans losing their lives when the new traffic law is already in place," he said.
The accident comes a day after 11 people were killed in another car accident on the Nakuru-Eldoret highway. At least 54 people in Kenya have died in road accidents since December 31st, according to Kenya's Daily Nation.

Product Description
That amazing truth is the focus and inspiration for the incredibly powerful Christmas musical, One of Us, by the creative team of Claire Cloninger and Robert Sterling. One of Us offers a heartfelt musical experience that is warm with tradition and alive with biblical faith. From the intimate truth of the title song to the driving praise of "Again and Again," the songs explore and celebrate the miracle and the mystery that God chose to be "One of Us." Cloninger nd Sterling creatively combine several familiar carols with two powerful modern Christmas favorites written by three composers well-known throughout the music world: "We All Bow Down" by Lenny LeBlanc, and "Peace" by Michael McDonald and Beth Nielsen-Chapman. Claire Cloninger's online production notes assist you in tailoring the production to fit your ministry.
This Christmas let those who sing, as well as those who listen, be moved by the wonder of our Creator who refused to leave us in our sin, but instead chose to become One of Us.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by alexah Great hat! I purchased this hat in ivory and it is absolutely adorable! It is definitely a true ivory color- very yellow white. Something to keep in mind as it is a bit of an odd color to wear with some things. The hat isn't at all itchy and fits wonderfully- just the right amount of slouch. 12.10.2013

This weekend, Alameda's Island Yacht Club is hosting the 18th-annual Northern California Women's Sailing Seminar.
According to the group, the Women's Sailing Seminar was created and founded in 1993 by Mary Quigley and Linda Newland after they attended a women's sailing seminar down south.
This year's keynote speaker is Shana Bagley, who has just returned from crewing aboard the yacht California in the prestigious Clipper Round the World '09-'10 race in September. She traveled from England to France and on to Brazil, crossing the Atlantic and the equator.
The event includes two days of workshops, continental breakfast, lunch, one raffle ticket, a registration packet, a visor, a bag filled with goodies from the event sponsors and Sunday sailing.
According to the organizers, WSS is made possible by the generous donations of instructors, boat owners and sponsors.
With this weekend's great weather, the event should be a lot of fun and a great educational experience for all participants.
And for those women sailors who couldn't get to the docks for this weekend's event, be sure to mark your calendar for next year's WSS!

I've been quite happy without dselect for years now. Its interface is
TERRIBLE (too many alerts, too busy display, difficult to find the package
you want). One can get package descriptions from packages.debian.org, so
there is little need for dselect even for that.
Btw, did anyone notice that Cthulhu made a cameo appearance in Lord of the

Indenting and dedenting in Vim
I frequently indent or dedent text in Vim with
> or
<. This works in both normal and visual/select modes.
In conjunction with this, I often use
. to repeat the indent (if I have a few levels of indenting to change, it feels easier to just tap
. a few times and stop when you're at the right place, rather than trying to guess the number of jumps required and type something like
I was browsing the Vim sub-reddit and saw some neat mappings in this thread, specifically:
xnoremap < <gv xnoremap > >gv
These allow you to just mash the
> or
< keys repeatedly, because they maintain the visual selection after each move with
I considered playing with these because sometimes with my use of
. I end up going to far, and then having to reselect (
gv) and apply the inverse operation (
> for an excess
<, or
> for an excess
<). On taking them for a spin, I noticed that the native
. is broken, because it is effectively repeating only the last part of the mapping and not the entire thing. I'd like to preserve the functionality of
. here, because muscle memory is a powerful thing and I've been doing this for years now.
Tim Pope's vim-repeat to the rescue? Alas no. I started with a set-up like this:
xnoremap <silent> <Plug>DedentAndReselect <gv \ :silent! call repeat#set("\<Plug>DedentAndReselect")<CR> xmap < <Plug>DedentAndReselect
Entering command mode here ends up taking us out of visual mode.
Next attempt; note that I keep the
gv in the initial part of the mapping, so that it will still (kind of) work if vim-repeat is not installed:
xnoremap <silent> <Plug>DedentAndReselect >gv \ :silent! call repeat#set("\<Plug>IndentAndReselect")<CR>gv xmap > <Plug>DedentAndReselect
This does indeed reselect the text, but it doesn't repeat the dedent.
Final try:
xnoremap <silent> <Plug>DedentAndReselect <gv \ :silent! call repeat#set("\<Plug>DedentAndReselect \<Bar> normal gv")<CR> xmap < <Plug>DedentAndReselect
This is the hackiest of all, trying to funnel extra keypresses through vim-repeat to achieve our ends. Alas, this doesn't work either. I tried a few variations on this but none worked.
In the end, on revisiting the Reddit comment thread, I realized what I'd been missing all along. I can undo overshot dedents or indents with
u, which is native, unconfigured Vim, with no reliance on external plug-ins.

Life by Chocolate is a fundraiser I dreamed up in 2007, my first season with Team in Training. Over the years, I've had a variety of wonderful helpers, all whom raised money for LLS through TNT.
I thought, "what better way to save lives then by CHOCOLATE!" I love chocolate and I know it is loved by countless others, as well. Life by Chocolate is an evening of Indulgence and Sweet Satisfaction. A fellow TNT enthusiast once told me, "all the calories disappear when it is for charity," so dump your diet for just ONE night and help save lives!

He said: "I like any moment at Celtic Park when we had victories, especially over teams that wear blue.
"Seville was a great highlight but there's many of them there.
"But I think the highlight of the 20 years I have been involved with Celtic is that it's an independent club with wonderful supporters and we have a great future."
The shareholder hailed Neil Lennon as a "first-class manager" and Peter Lawwell as a "wonderful chief executive, as good as you will find in any football club in the world".
He also claimed Celtic to be the best-performing club on and off the pitch in Britain. Mr Desmond joined forces with Celtic saviour Fergus McCann in March 1994 to rescue the club from going out of business.

Getting the itch to add.....
OK, I am not even firing the oven yet, though I think I am having post-buildum anxiety. :eek: You know, the thought that the project end is in sight and what to do next.
I think I am looking at a combo dutch oven pit/Tuscan BBQ. Problem is, where could I find plans?? I know I don't want a big honker as I have my propane grill and a smoker which needs to be tied together somehow. Ugh.
Anyone got plans like that one on You-Tube???

Re: Getting the itch to add.....
Thanks for the link John! This should be a help for my long term planning. My wife is haveing additional thoughts about it, so I guess I will need to get out the old PencilCad 2000 (I switch between versions) and do a layout.

Brent Budowsky: Let's challenge the speculative fever and vulture frenzy that threatens the Morning in America that is coming. The president should initiate a drawdown of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, if necessary twice, to burn the fear of God into the soul of speculators.

Obama Not Likely to Call for Major Afghan Drawdown
Sherwood Ross: Outside of the White House, is it possible to find an American anywhere who believes that the presence of U.S. troops on the ground in Afghanistan is essential to our national security — particularly when we have some 800 bases around the world ready to deploy troops at the drop of a bomb?

The "Team Xplode" girls indoor soccer team clinched the league as champions of the indoor U13/U14 Session No. 1 soccer league at the National Sports Center in Blaine this past weekend. They also won this session in 2012.
The team's record was 5-1, against some pretty tough competition. Team Xplode scored a total of 17 goals throughout the six-game session, with only six goals scored against the team.
Xplode Sports Training in North Branch sponsored Team Xplode.
