Flash Review 2, 10-24: Conjunction
Gotta Know the Lingo (Dance Theater)
By Terry Hollis
Copyright 2001 Terry Hollis
SEATTLE -- Imagine one of those slick,
hip directors from Sundance taking a dance company and working some magic on it.
Replacing that stark, sparsely lit stage with a bright, retro cinematic look,
red carpet plastered against the back wall and cool east village type furniture
(set design by Etta Lilienthal). Now throw some great movers and smart choreography
in the mix and you have "Dysfunction," one of two pieces presented by Seattle's
Lingo Dance Theater at the Kirkland Performing Arts Center on Saturday, October
6. That's not to say the style out-weighed the substance, but you did have a nice
visual to help you along. Physically Lingo is pretty fabulous, a range of body
types and a nice un-showy approach to partnering. Some of the sections did read
like watered down Tanztheater but on the whole the edginess was non-threatening
and the dancing was worth the trip.
"Dysfunction" (directed by KT Niehoff)
brings up all of those little icky tics that make life interesting. The maddening
repetition of domestic life, the over booked-palm pilot worshipping, coffee drinking
public, and the anger that builds up because of it all. Set to a fantastic sound
score by Bob Barraza, the piece opens with two dancers already onstage engaged
in a series of gestures that accumulate as the pre-show announcements are made.
Soon Pablo Cornejo is at the microphone informing one of the dancers that her
face is blue,she denies it, and that pretty much gets the ball of non-sequiturs
rolling. Scott Davis starts off a great chair section with a joke about "dog jaw";
while most of the personnel are secure in their group of chairs, one comrade is
always left on her own. When she finally gets wise and snags a chair for herself,
they give theirs up and she is left with all chairs but no friends. Michelle de
la Vega, Scott Davis, and Pablo Cornejo deliver a rambunctious trio made up of
rough floor work and suspended lifts, and de la Vega's rant about being Bogarted
in a supermarket is a crash course in guarding your personal space.
Come to think of it, the entire piece
reads like a crash course in our speedy, neurotic culture and that's one of the
problems. It skims through some intense subject matter, but the moment the material
tries to get emotionally heavy the work can't hold it up. What the work does do
is support some heavy-duty and cohesive dancing, so that even without the bright,
cinematic template you'd still get bang for your buck.
"Attracted to Accidents" is more
successful in melding action and atmosphere. Lingo turns the entire stage into
the moment before the big crash. With a downstage pipe being lowered slowly the
dancers hurl themselves in and out of the space, nearly missing and sometimes
crashing directly into each other. They talk about their phobia of high places;
not for fear of falling, but fear of jumping. What is so fun to watch (like the
title says) is the way they can't stay away from these precarious situations.
One dancer is perched on the shoulders of another while her support is busy gabbing
away. Dancers fly in and jump (literally) straight into another dancer's monologue.
By the close of the piece the pipe is lowered to ground level and the performers
are lined up behind it leaning into a freefall. From the looks of them they're
a little apprehensive about going over but you know another part of them just
wants to jump.
Lingo Dance Theater is made up of
Mr. Cornejo, Mr. Davis, Shane Szabo, Ms. de la Vega, and Ms. Niehoff.

In his address for yesterday's Sunday Angelus, the final such audience before Christmas, Pope Francis urged believers to contemplate St. Joseph, the foster father of Jesus, who he says was faithful to the call of the Lord in his life despite a set of circumstances that many would call impossible. "St. Joseph was not stubborn in following his own life plans, he did not allow resentment to poison his soul, but he was prepared to make himself disposed to the news that, in a disconcerting way, was presented to him," the Pope reflected. "He was following a good life plan, but God had kept a different design for him, a greater mission. Joseph was a man who always listened to the voice of God, profoundly amenable to God's secret will, a man attentive to the messages that came from the depths of the heart and from above."
The road that St. Joseph was compelled to take was not an easy one, the Holy Father recalled, pointing out that his reaction on finding that Mary was pregnant was a normal and human one. "The gospel does not explain what his thoughts were, but it tells us the essentials: that he seeks to do the will of God, and he is ready for a radical renunciation," the Pope said. The Holy Father said that it is important that in the lead-up to Christmas "we must meditate on these words (of the gospel) in order to understand the trial that Joseph had to sustain in the days preceding the birth of Jesus," the Pontiff said. "Accepting the Lord's plan, Joseph fully found himself, beyond himself… his full interior openness to the will of God challenges us and shows us the way."
"Let us thus prepare ourselves to celebrate Christmas contemplating Mary and Joseph: Mary, the woman full of grace who had the courage to entrust herself fully to the word of God; Joseph, the faithful and just man who preferred to believe the Lord rather than listen to the voices of doubt and human pride.With them, let us journey together toward Bethlehem," Francis said.

A while ago, I posted some commentary on a few predictions made by Robert M. Parker, Jr. about the future of the global wine trade. One of my comments which generated a lot of conversation here at Vinography was my comment that while I understood Malbec's prominence as a varietal in Argentina, and its long history of use in Bordeaux, I had actually never had a Malbec that I really liked. Sure I'd had some that were powerful and clearly made with care, but most of them were over-oaked, very tannic, and wholly unbalanced.
A number of readers agreed with me, but there were some definite champions of the varietal here and elsewhere.
Having an open mind, and a true desire to see what the fuss is about, I've been drinking a few here and there, but sadly, did not have any worth writing about. Until last night, when I opened this wine I grabbed on my way out of the wine store about a week ago. One of the reasons it caught my eye was a short note posted above the wine on which I was able to read the word 'stainless.'
A-ha, I thought, here's a wine that might actually show me what Malbec really tastes like. And folks, that's exactly what this wine will do.
Named after the "humble ant," one of the few creatures that can survive in the difficult soils of the vineyard, this wine is one of several produced by a winery named Altos de Medrano, an estate jointly owned by Alberto Antonini, Marc De Grazia, Antonio Morescalchi, Attilio Pagli, Alan Scerbanenko and Antonio Terni all of whom are relatively well known Italian winemakers. These gentlemen are making a splash in Argentina, after some of their initial efforts gathered high scores and much acclaim from the international wine press. In addition to the Malbec (of which they also make a Reserve wine) Altos produces Syrah as well, thanks to the capable vineyard management of Carlos Vasquéz, who used to tend the vines at Catena, which is arguably Argentina's most well known producer.
This wine is fermented in stainless steel, and then aged for nine months in mostly stainless, with a little oak, and then bottled without stabilization or filtration, leaving us with a very pure expression of the Malbec fruit flavors.
Tasting Notes:
A deep garnet color in the glass this wine has a very pleasing and aromatic nose with aromas of tobacco, cherry cola, and earthy mushrooms. In the mouth it is dominated by black cherry and cola flavors, with elements of blueberries. The wine has imperceptible tannins, and a nice acidity. The finish is reasonably long and integrates a hint of nutmeg into the aftertaste.
Food Pairing:
This isn't a particularly complicated wine, so don't expect it to do amazing things with your food, but it will be a lively accompaniment to pastas and meat dishes, as long as they don't have too much garlic or spice. Try it with portobello "steak" sandwiches with gorgonzola butter and red pepper vinaigrette. Go easy on the vinaigrette however -- food with too much vinegar can also make the wine seem lackluster.
Overall Score: 8
How Much?: $11

There is a major war going on that most people do not see. This war is so vast that it involves superpowers, proxy nations, economies, and currencies, and at its core is the battle over who will dominate the next phase of the global economic system.
For centuries, an entity within Great Britain has ruled global finances and has dictated the policies and direction of money for most of the world. But on June 10, statistician Dr. Jim Willie declared in interview that those days may be ending, and that it will be Germany, and in particular Frankfurt, that is poised to replace the entity known as the City of London should the East prevail in the ongoing war for supremacy. And all it will take for this to come to pass is for that key player in the European Union to switch sides from its current alliance with the U.S., and side with Russia in their growing hegemony through the Eurasian Trade Union.
While most people equate London to be simply the capital of the British Isles, few realize that within that municipality resides a section known with a capital C (City), and it represents the financial district that is often autonomous, and up to a point, more powerful than Parliament or even the British monarchy.
What happened in the heart of Greater London in 1694 under the direction of King William III of the House of Orange? Well, that would be when King William privatized the Bank of England, established the City of London, and turned control of England's money over to an elite group of international bankers.
Like Vatican City, London City (not to be confused with Greater London) is a privately owned corporation operating under its own flag, with its own constitution and free from the legal constraints that govern the rest of us. - Daily Bell
As noted above, since 1694 the City of London has controlled global finance and geo-politics throughout the world. even after the United States seized control over the reserve currency in 1944 at Bretton Woods. But as growing economic and military superpowers in the East strive to throw off the shackles of Western domination, the centralized financial control that has held for over three centuries may be seeing its final days as another European power stands front and center to become the central financial center for the new Eurasian Trade Union.
Silver Doctors: One of the other big topics you've been focusing on are the swing states... sovereign nations that you're predicting will be swinging away from the U.S. and moving their alliance towards the East.
Dr. Jim Willie: Well there are four nations that I identify, and they're all extremely important. I think all four are going to firmly in the Eurasian Trade Zone camp.
The four nations are Germany, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Japan.
We're going to see Germany important for investment capital. Watch Frankfurt explode as an RMB (Renminbi) hub. That means a hub for trading bonds, and issuing bonds, and trading currency from the Chinese Yuan denomination.
Watch Frankfurt eclipse London. London is always expecting to be the primary hub for the RMB trade, but Germany has 3000 companies behind this, and London has none of this leverage. - Silver Doctors Interview with Jim Willie, June 10, 2014
As the United States becomes more isolated, and the world slowly, but with an accelerating pace, dumps the dollar in favor of more stable and less restrictive markets for trade, control over the global financial system will invariably move East, and away from European and American domination. And with Germany so intrinsically tied to Russia in both energy and corporate partnerships, when the largest economy in the Eurozone makes a switch of allegiances from the West to the East, then a large portion of the world will follow suit and leave the U.S. and the City of London looking from the outside in, and no longer major players in the financial arena.

College Hockey:Saul Tapped At Potsdam
POTSDAM, N.Y. — Aaron Saul was today named head coach of of the Postdam men's hockey team. Saul, a former Potsdam assistant coach, will replace Glenn Thomaris who announced his retirement from Potsdam last month.
"We're tremendously excited that Aaron has agreed to coach our men's hockey team. While the competition for the position was great, his passion for coaching, his ability to recruit high quality student athletes, and his work ethic clearly separated him from the rest of the field. Our department is happy to be reunited with him and we look forward to many years of top flight hockey with Aaron Saul as our coach," said Potsdam athletic director Jim Zalacca.
Saul comes to Potsdam from Elmira College where he has been the assistant hockey coach since first leaving Potsdam in 2001. He is also the head men's golf coach at Elmira.
"I am extremely excited to return to the Potsdam Bears Hockey program. My time as an assistant coach at SUNY Potsdam was a great learning experience working with Ed Seney and Jay Green. It has been a dream of mine to become a Head Coach at the Division III level. Working with Tim Ceglarski at Elmira College for the past six seasons has prepared me for that and I am looking forward to the challenge," Saul said.
During Saul's six seasons coaching at Elmira, the men made five trips to the ECAC West Playoffs and picked up two conference championships. In two visits to the NCAA Tournament, Elmira advanced to the quarterfinals in 2005 and the Frozen Four in 2006.
In addition to his work with the Soaring Eagles, Saul has also been active in hockey schools and clinics having coached in the Paul Vincent Hockey School since 1998.
Saul holds a Master's Degree from SUNY Potsdam and a Bachelors Degree from Elmira. While a student at Elmira he played four years of varsity hockey when he was twice chosen as team captain. His teams competed in three ECAC tournaments including one ECAC Championship. At Elmira he was elected team MVP and rookie of the year by his teammates.

Mere weeks after his passing, Steve Jobs' biography was to be released on Monday. Almost fittingly, Apple has released the book early on it's iBook store, MacRumors reports. For $16.99, the biography by Walter Isaacson had unprecedented access and insight through interviews to Jobs' life. Unfortunately, what was to be a biography about his life up to this point became a biography of most of his years; unless there was additions within the last month, the book will not cover his death.
The official synopsis is
Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.
At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.
Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.
Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple's hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.
The book will additionally be available in print and on the Kindle, arguably Apple's largest competitor in the digital media field. While Apple has no control over the book (and Jobs hmself took a hands-off approach), it's still an unprecedented insight to the man and his company.

Knickers Off For Sport
The Sports Council are engaged in a campaign to persuade more young people, young women especially, to get involved with sport. They hope this will encourage people to a cleaner living lifestyle. What a pity then that in a campaign to promote equestrian sports the British Equestrian Association are featuring two attractive show jumpers stripped down to their knickers.
Out in the sreets it was scary
Looking and feeling better boosts self – esteen and confidence of course so the message is clear, sport is A GOOD THING and will help young people get their lives on track and not be sucked along by the tide of decadence and nihilism. The effort is being run by The Sports Council so I suppose they would say that wouldn't they? But will people respond it the expected way, being lectured on lifestyle by government agencies can produce negative reactions.
People were getting quite lairy
How will young people react? I predict a riot.
There is also a moralising tone to the campaign. In a message reminiscent of the Hitler Youth the ads give the impression that participating in sport makes one morally superior to those who hang around getting drunk, taking drugs and having casual, meaningless sex. What a pity then that one of the most popular sports for young women, equestrianism, is running a concurrent but unrelated campaign which has two leading female showjumpers stipped down to their knickers for a photoshoot.
Girls running round with no clothes on…
Well it's one way to show that horse loving girls are good sports and game for a laugh. According to the spokesperson of the British Showjumping Association the aim of the campaign is to rid the sport of its stuffy and snobbish image" which, they say, is inaccurate. It is also wrong to suggest horse related sports are only for the rich. Many people from lower income groups are involved.
Trying to borrow a pound for a condom
Well sorry showjumpers but there is a lot of stuffiness and snobberey attached to the sport. Being a snob and a bit of a slapper are not mutually exclusive conditions though. And it has never been difficult to get the knickers off a middle class girl who spends a lot of time around horses. Trust me, I speak from experience.
So the Show Jumping Association seem to be sending out a conflicting message that sets them on collision course with the other lot.
( "aah – aah –aah. I predict a riot.")
See, the posh lot are not that much different to chavs.

Lawyers for Exxon Mobile went to court in Texas last month seeking to block a subpoena issued earlier this year by the attorney general of the U.S. Virgin Islands, which, alleging that the oil and petroleum giant is deceiving the public about the effects of climate change, demanded the company open its records to Department of Justice lawyers. Exxon responded by claiming that the subpoena is an unwarranted phishing expedition into Exxon's confidential records and as such violates its constitutional rights;
b>US Missile Shield; Loved Up Obama And Cameron Laugh As Putin Warns Poland, Romania Now In The "Cross Hairs" No surprise then that during a joint press conference with Alex Tsipras in Greece, Putin warned Romania and Poland they could find themselves in the sights of Russian rockets because they are hosting elements of a U.S. missile shield that Moscow considers a threat to its security. Under the malign influence of Washington and Brussels these country's leaders have now exposed their people to the threat they most feared.
UK Conservative Politician Says Referendum Is An Establishment Stitch Up
Britain will be unable to stop Turkey from becoming a member of the European Union (EU), the Minister of State for the Armed Forces, Penny Morduant, has said.

EU Vows To Use Powers To Block All Elected 'Far Right' Politicians From Power
... populist social conservatives are regularly topping the polls across the Europe, but have been victims of EU orchestrated stitch ups to keep them out of power and ddeny the democratic will, in France, Sweden, Holland, and now Austria – and anti-migrant populists are already in power in Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Mr. Junker's definition of "far right" is somewhat broad, noted by him previously describing Hungary's conservative president, Viktor Orbán, as a "fascist".
As Conservative Candidate Moves ahead In Austria, Left Wing Lie Machine Goes Into Overdrive
In spite of blatantly biased reporting from The BBC, while print and commercial broadcast media virtually ignore the story, a result from the presidential election in Austria looks set to send shockwaves through Europe. The candidate referred to by the BBC as 'extreme right wing' looks to be heading for victory. Firstly, the candidate in question, Norbert Hofer, is not extreme, he is ...
Latest From Project Fear On Brexit Is Complete Bollocks
George Osborne and David Cameron warn more than a thousand jobs will be lost every day if Britain votes for Brexit. It's just another lie, there is not one valid reason for Britain to stay in the embryonic Nazi empire that the European Union is set to become. The EU destroys jobs by making hiring workers difficult and expensive because of minimum wage and maximum working hours rules, because EU free trade policies make it too easy to offshore jobs ...

Can this woman possibly be a fit and proper person to serve as President Of The USA
While US mainstream media have been obsessing over transgender rights and whether chicks-with-dicks should be allowed to use the same toilet facilities as women and little girls, the American democratic process has been dragged further into the mud (if that was possible) and the candidacy of Hillary Clinton look to be in greater jeopardy than ever despite her having almost certainly won the primaries campaign by a big enough majority of delegate to secure the nomination ...
Hollande Survives Confidence Vote As France Slides Deeper Into Chaos
French President Francois Hollande suvived a 'no - confidence' vote today but now faces deepening divisions within his own party as well as in the French population. Continuing mass protests by students and trade union members showed the battle of over his reforms to the country's labour laws are far from finished. Hollande has hardened opposition to his reforms after bypassing the French parliament to push them through.
American GM Wheat Losing Out To Russian Organic Wheat In World Markets
We've been trying to get the truth out on GM crops, loved by American corporate business, rent-a-quote scientists and politicians for several years. The massed ranks of big money and big politics are still ranged against us but it seems that one again we the New Media are winning. The more the 'experts', professors and politicians tell us genetically modified crops are good, the mor suspicious we become.
Former Equalities Chief Says 'Superdiverse' UK Will 'Burn'
Unusually for a left wing figure and to his great credit, Mr. Phillips was admittting he had been wrong to argue in favour of mass immigration from theocratic Muslim nations, expressing his disgust at the racism, anti – semitism and wave of violent and sex crimes, and observing that he doubted Muslims can ever integrate into western society because of the difference in the mindset.

European Parliament President Says 'Vast Majority Of Europeans Do Not Want Borders'
The Europhile German Social Democratic Party (SPD) politician stated that if the populist, anti-mass migration Norbert Hofer becomes president "this will change Europe's character". Last month Hofer came top in the first round of the Austrian elections, and in two weeks voters will go to the polls for the second round, to choose between the right wing FPO figure and his Green rival Alexander Van der Bellen as the nation's next head of state.
Armed Forces Minister: Obama 'Woefully Ignorant' of Threat EU Membership Poses
Referring to a statement Mr Obama made in the Telegraph on Friday in which he said: "The European Union doesn't moderate British influence – it magnifies it," she responded: "Unfortunately this opinion betrays a woeful ignorance of the practical reality of the EU's impact on our security, and the interests of the U.K. and the US."
Wall Street 'Whistleblower' Exposes Clinton Foundation Fraud
The woman is a phoney, a self interested, self aggrandizing elitist with a sense of entitlement the size of a galaxy. Whatever Hillary does, and whatever minority group the claims she is acting in the interests of, you can bet the main beneficiaries are Hillary Clinton, her family and her cronies.
No surprise then that a whistleblower has exposed Hillary's charity, 'The Clinton Foundation as a fraud.

TTIP document leak - A preview of the corporate fascism treaty from War On Want
The Trans Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) was teetering on the brink of failure before Greenpeace Netherlands obtained a massive swathe of leaked documents that prove the treaty is, as many people feared, a corporate power grab rather than a free trade arrangement. This exposure will not stop the fascist regimes of the European Union and the United States trying to push it through against massive public opposition. The ruling elites have only contempt for democracy and the people

Obama Admin Denies Saying "No Boots on the Ground" in Syria After Saying It 16 Times
This is our second report today that catches Barack Obama and his administration of 'homies' in a blatant lie.

The Oligarchy Is Tottering - Trump Tramples The Neocons' "False Song Of Globalism"
Donald Trump scares the global establishment as do the anti Federalisation parties in the EU. We take a long and detailed look at why, and exactly what the globalist agenda would have meant for freedom and democracy had people not wonken up and opposed it in vast numbers. Kudos to the Islamic Jihad too, medievalist religious nuts they may be, but they resisted American attempt to impose western consumer culture on them.

Europe Rejects Obama Doctrine - US Exceptionalism Is Not Acceptable

Weather Channel Founder Slams Global Warming Fraud
The climate change lobby have been on the back foot for a long time as eminent scientists queued to be next to point out that when real world observations repeatedly contradict data produced by mathematical models run on university computer systems, any credible research team would take a long critical look at their models rather than adjusting the empirical data so it gives the required answer.
Lifelong Feminist Carmen Paglia Slams Hypocrite Hillary Clinton And Her 'Liberal' Supporters

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Scientific Games Corp. (NASDAQ:SGMS) were dazzling the market today, gaining as much as 20% and finishing up 12% after naming a new CEO.
So what: The lottery and slot-machine specialist said Gavin Isaacs would step into the leadership role immediately, replacing David Kennedy, who had served as CEO in an interim role for six months. Kennedy will remain on as executive vice chairman. Isaacs brings more than 15 years of gaming industry leadership to the table and was most recently the CEO of SHFL Entertainment, which Bally Technologies bought last November for $1.3 billion.
Now what: Chairman Ron Perelman called Isaacs "a very talented and seasoned gaming industry executive with the necessary skills to lead our Company to the next level of growth and performance." The market generally applauds a company's move from an interim CEO to a permanent one, but the response to Isaacs is especially strong, reflecting the market's faith in him. The gaming specialist has been saddled with losses recently and is still in the process of integrating its recent acquisition of WMS Industries. That acquisition nearly doubled as Scientific Games' revenue and would seem to present an opportunity for Isaacs as he takes the helm. The stock is trading near 52-week lows and easily could move higher as Isaacs implements changes.

There is little osteological evidence of non-lethal predation events in the archaeological or vertebrate paleontological record. A small section of Pliocene cetacean rib collected from the Yorktown Formation within the PCS Phosphate Mine (formerly Lee Creek Mine), Aurora, North Carolina, U.S.A., shows evidence of this kind of trophic interaction. In this case study, we offer a diagnosis of bone traumatic pathology in which three bone-forming lesions on the partial rib are interpreted as the reaction to a bite inflicted by a macro-predator, the first such report from a marine environment. In addition to the three well-defined lesions, a thin layer of woven bone covers much of the remaining cortical bone. The combination of the three bone-forming lesions and the thin layer of woven bone suggest the presence of an inflammatory process almost certainly caused by infection secondary to the trauma. Survival following the traumatic event was probably less than 6 weeks. The Neogene chondrichthyan fauna from this locality preserves several large predators, including Carcharocles megalodon, Carcharodon carcharias, Isurus xiphidon and Parotodus benedeni, which were all capable, at least in terms of their size, of having bitten the cetacean. Although most of the odontocetes known from the Yorktown Formation were too small to have inflicted this wound, some of the physeterids may have been large enough to have caused the lesions on the partial rib. This evidence of predation in Pliocene whale bone raises the possibility of similar lesions being found in whale bone recovered from archaeological sites. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The Belgium Town Board on Monday approved participating in the Ozaukee County Working Lands Initiative, the state's revised farmland preservation program. The initiative provides income tax credits of $7.50 per acre for land that yields an annual income of at least $6,000. Unlike, the farmland preservation program, there is no minimum acreage for participation or penalty for pulling out of the initiative. Farmers can receive the tax credit only if the town participates in the program. Town Chairman Tom Winker and Supr. Bill Janeshek approved the initiative, which was unanimously recommended by the Plan Commission. However, Supr. Francis Kleckner opposed it, saying too many acres currently being farmed, including 40 acres of his land adjacent to the Village of Belgium, have not been included in the designated areas. Parcels were evaluated based on soil and land conditions, proximity to urban areas where sewer and water are available, the town's land-use map and proximity to permanently protected lands, Andrew Struck, Ozaukee County planning and parks director, told the board. He presented a map that showed the excluded areas, although most are zoned for agriculture. Land that was likely to be developed, including areas near the Village of Belgium and along Lake Michigan, received lower scores, while those adjacent to parks, nature preserves and federal Fish and Wildlife property got more points, Struck said. "About 60% of the score was the type of soils," he said, noting some excluded areas are wetlands or wooded areas. Other preservation incentives may be available for those property owners. Kleckner said most farmers whose land is not in the initiative are probably unaware of that unless they attended a meeting where the map was presented. "There are parcels that they picked out that are in the middle of a section that have been farmed for at least 50 years and will be for the next 50 years, but they don't qualify," said Kleckner, citing land owned by Herman Feyereisen and Gerald Gantner. "You can give one farmer some poor land and he can get just as good a crop as the farmer with good land. I guess they don't give points for that." Anyone who wants to appeal the map designations can send a letter to the county planning department and it will be reviewed, Struck said. "We had to develop criteria that could be used throughout the county," he said. Farmers who are not included in the initiative are encouraged to continue farming, but cannot receive tax credits, Struck said. A group of farmers can request the state Legislature designate prime agriculture enterprise areas that are within the Working Lands Initiative boundaries, he said. Farmers in the prime areas could receive $10 per acre. The additional $3.50 per acre may not be enough incentive for farmers to ask lawmakers to get involved, Struck said.
There is no penalty for dropping out of the program, but it is intended to be long term, Struck said. "The county is charged with coming up with a proposal to preserve farmland," he said, noting his department has been working for two years on the initiative. The Town of Fredonia was to consider participating in the program Wednesday, Feb. 8. The towns of Port Washington, Grafton and Saukville decided not to participate. Mequon and the Town of Cedarburg expressed some interest, Struck said.

I'd like to limit server disk fragmentation when multiple clients upload to an FTP server simultaneously.
Is there a way to tell FTP server to preallocate disk space for a big block of an incoming file, and to keep incrementing in big blocks?
Alternatively, is there a way to tell the FTP server to preallocate entire file's worth, and write out incoming FTP packets in a more sequential pattern.
Defragmenting files after fransfer is not acceptable: it will take too long to defragment.
I am using IIS 6.0, but other FTP server products would be a welcome replacement.

Trans Fat and Rat Poop
but can it be likened to rat poop? The Daily Intelligencer has more:
The city Health Department doesn't recall ever likening eating trans fats to eating spoiled food or rodent droppings, but officials say they must simply have meant that if the stuff were outlawed, violators would be subject to the same fines as those who serve contaminated eats. For the record, though, consuming rodent waste can lead to contracting the deadly hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, which can look like the flu but soon clog your lungs with thick fluid. And the effects of eating rotten food can run the gamut from a nasty taste in your mouth to the runs to truly serious illnesses like listeriosis and salmonella.

Olympic medalist Armstrong to race Women's SRAM Tour of the Gila
The hitch: Armstrong got sick and had to abandon the New Mexico stage race after the first stage.
Healthy and motivated for the upcoming Summer Olympics in London, Armstrong will be at the start line for this year's edition of the SRAM Tour of the Gila.
Race officials are making no attempt to hide their enthusiasm.
"If there was any way to improve on last year's Women's Pro Race, it would have been to have Kristin in the field," says Michelle Geels, an organizer of the race. "Overall, this year's field of women looks just as strong as last year's, and now one of the real icons of women's bike racing will be in the mix. Yes, we're very excited."
Racing for the Exergy TWENTY12 pro women's cycling team, Armstrong will be using the SRAM Tour of the Gila to help prepare for her 2012 Olympics bid in London. She won the time trial gold medal in 2008 in Bejing.
And while Armstrong will surely be one of the favorites for overall honors at the five-day stage race, SRAM Tour of the Gila organizer Geels believes there could be some surprises.
"Some very, very strong women's teams have registered for this race," said Geels. "Optum p/b Kelly Benefits Strategies will be here. Primal/MapMyRide will be here. While many eyes will be on Kristin, riders from these other strong teams may sneak up and surprise some people."
The Pro/1/2 Women's race is five stages, running from May 2-6. 2012 is the 26th consecutive year in which the Tour of the Gila, now sponsored by SRAM, has been held.

2009 Research Summary
Improving Data Entry
View Current Project Information
Kuang Chen, Maneesh Agrawala, Joseph M. Hellerstein and Tapan Parikh1
Yahoo! Technology for Emerging Regions Fellowship
Governments, companies, and individuals routinely make decisions based on inaccurate or incomplete data stored in supposedly authoritative databases. Data entry presents the first opportunity to address data quality. However, the design of data entry forms is currently an ad hoc practice consisting of mapping all of the desired information to a set of entry widgets (text fields, combo boxes, etc.), guided by heuristics and the designer's intuition. We take a more nuanced view of data entry with the aim to minimize entry errors while maintaining an upper bound on the effort involved in filling the form. To achieve this, we assess the cost and benefit of existing data entry modalities and design new ones. Using statistical algorithms trained on prior data and the human factors involved in data entry, we optimize form design in terms of field ordering, question formulation, auto-completion, and widget choice. We also introduce a collaborative and iterative form design process based on asynchronous feedback through annotations and other user-driven mechanisms.

Vintners Collective in Napa, California, recently shipped two Pinot Noir's from Ancien Wines. One was their 2008 Russian River Valley, the other their 2008 Sonoma Mountain Red Dog Vineyard. It was a good opportunity to compare the winemaker's (Ken Bernards) craft, exercised on the same grape from two different places.
The first wine, from the Russian River Valley, had aromas of black raspberries, dark-fleshed fruits, spices, earthy notes, and chocolate. The palate was boysenberry, black raspberries, tobacco, a hint of menthol, and milk chocolate. The finish was medium long, with soft tannins. It tended slightly to the acid side, and evolved into juicy sweet cherries. In his tasting notes on aroma, the winemaker noted "… concentrated dark fruits, rich earthy spices, black cherry, plums, blackberry, cassis, strawberry pie, and candied violet…" On the palate he noted similar flavors to those in the nose, and "…revealing hints of red fruits and underlying layers of pepper, vanilla bean, espresso bean, and cacao." This wine retails for $45.00 through the Vintner's Collective.
The Russian River Valley is located North and West of Sonoma Mountain. The vineyard supplying grapes for this wine is located in the Southwestern corner of the appellation, which as a much lower elevation (under 300 ft, based on the general location). According to the vineyard notes, the climate is cool, with maritime breezes and fog coming in through the Russian River gorge, settling into the lowlands where this vineyard is located.
The Red Dog was rich, earthy, and spicy on the nose, with cardamom, cigar box, strawberries, talc, alcohol, and dark cherries on the nose, and dark cherries, black raspberries, licorice, eucalyptus, coffee, and spices, with some vegetal notes, on the nose. This wine had a long finish that was slightly bitter on the sides of the tongue and spicy under the tongue. It evolved to a cherry/milk chocolate aftertaste that was quite pleasant; the flavors lingered for quite some time. The wine was not overly tannic. This wine retails for $48.00 through the Vintner's Collective.
According to the winemaker, "The nose opens to an exotic flush of roses, lilacs, holiday spices, dried mushrooms, and dried cherries…in the glass, fresh black cherry, cherry preserve, ripe plums, dried cranberries, and hints of geranium and pipe tobacco. The palate is rich and concentrated…boysenberry and strawberries are hinted at as the acidity lifts the mid-palate. The palate fills with an earthen and tannic strength, and the finish is long and dominated by fine, dry tannins and dried fruits."
The Red Dog Vineyard is located at about 1,000 feet, on the eastern face of a ridge located on the western side of Sonoma Mountain, more or less midway between Petaluma and Yountville. It's climate is affected by the Petaluma Gap, which contributes to a cool growing environment for the grapes. There are a number of wineries located in the Petaluma Gap, taking advantage of this climactic feature.
Both wines were quite good, but I preferred the Red Dog. It was more complex on both the nose and the palate, with a longer more enjoyable finish. However, of the two wines, I feel that the Russian River Valley iteration might be a better food wine than the Red Dog, as the acidity felt slightly higher. The complexity of the Red Dog allowed the wine to stand quite well on its own, while the Russian River begged for a bit of lamb!

I'm not sure where you've been seeking your Christmas tales of tolerance and acceptance this holiday season, but I'm betting that nothing you've seen takes an even slightly similar approach as creative collective Llamallama (Yannis Konstantinidis, Christos Lefakis & Ian Koons) do in their foul mouthed, brilliantly bizare animation A Little Christmas Miracle produced by Nomint.
MarBelle has a strange compulsion to watch as many films as he can get his hands on and find jobs that give him a legitimate excuse to drill filmmakers about their work. Directors Notes is the latest incarnation of this disorder and so much cheaper than film school. Twitter: @MarBelle

I used to use Xfce exclusively and am now using xmonad, which I love. However, now I need to set some things myself. Like font aliasing and hinting, etc. Xfce stores font settings in ~/.config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb I have copied these settings into ~/.Xdefaults
I don't see any real change, though, so I'd like to see if the settings were set.
Is this possible? If so, how?


text: During daylight hours I have installed a set of magnet holders for my semi in a hidden readily accessible location. These magnets, as advertised, can literally be installed anywhere and their powerful magnets will hold your firearm in place and readily accessible. The problem I just discovered that I wanted to share in the forum is the fact that when I remove the semi from the magnet and do so close to the magnet as I hold the semi in a horizontal position, the magnets are powerful enough to impact the safety lever on the semi and actually have it move from "safety" to "fire" w/o my even realizing it. If I should decide to keep a cartridge in the chamber, I now have a loaded semi that is "fire ready" w/o my immediate knowledge, unless I look at the safety position or the usual red dot indicating a "hot" gun. I intend to contact the supplier/mfgr or any others on web who offer same and mention this and perhaps they will at least include a small notice on the product warning purchasers that the best way to remove the semi from the magnet is to pull it away from magnet before sweeping it horizontally upward and near the magnet's pull, which can also pull the safety lever into a non-safety mode.

Irving Paul "Swifty" Lazar (March 28, 1907 – December 30, 1993) was a talent agent and deal maker, representing both movie stars and authors.
Born Samuel Lazar in Brooklyn, New York, he graduated from Brooklyn Law School in 1931. While practicing bankruptcy law during the early 1930s, he negotiated a business deal for a vaudeville performer and realized the income potential for acting as an agent.
He moved to Hollywood in 1936 but maintained a presence in New York until after World War II when he moved to Los Angeles permanently. After putting together three major deals for Humphrey Bogart in a single day, he was dubbed "Swifty" by Bogart. The moniker stuck but was a name he actually disliked.
In addition to Bogart, Lazar became the agent representing the top tier of celebrities, including Lauren Bacall, Truman Capote, Cher, Joan Collins, Noël Coward, Ira Gershwin, Cary Grant, Moss Hart, Ernest Hemingway, Gene Kelly, Madonna, Walter Matthau, Larry McMurtry, Vladimir Nabokov, Clifford Odets, Cole Porter, William Saroyan, Irwin Shaw, President Richard Nixon and Tennessee Williams.
During World War II, Lazar, with Benjamin Landis, suggested to the U.S. Army Air Forces that it produce a play to encourage enlistment and to raise funds for the Army Emergency Relief Fund. The Air Forces commanding general, Henry H. Arnold, agreed and the play Winged Victory was written by Moss Hart and produced by Hart and Lazar. A film version was produced during the same period.
Lazar was an executive producer (with Bernie Brillstein) of John G. Avildsen's Neighbors (1981), starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, and he was an associate producer on two television miniseries, The Thorn Birds (1983) and Robert Kennedy & His Times (1985).
Lazar died in 1993, aged 86, from complications stemming from diabetes. At the time of his death, Lazar was working on his autobiography, Swifty: My Life and Good Times, which was completed by Annette Tapert and published by Simon & Schuster in 1995.
1912 – Frank Lovejoy (actor: House of Wax, Strategic Air Command; died Oct 2, 1962)
1921 – Dirk Bogarde (Derek Jules Gaspard Ulric Niven van den Bogaerde) (actor: The Damned, Death in Venice, The Vision, A Bridge Too Far, Night Flight from Moscow; died May 8, 1999)
1924 – Freddie Bartholomew (Frederick Llewellyn March) (actor: Anna Karenina, Captains Courageous, David Copperfield, Little Lord Fauntleroy; died Jan 23, 1992)
1943 – Conchata Ferrell (actress: L.A. Law, Hearts Afire, A Peaceable Kingdom, McClain's Law, Hot L Baltimore, E/R, B.J. and the Bear, The Buccaneers, True Romance, Mystic Pizza, Edward Scissorhands, Deadly Hero)

Tuesday night's election proved that the Republican Party in Kansas is deeply divided. Kansas is a strong Republican state. Yet this year's primary elections proved there is a divided and unhappy electorate for individual candidates. Although the incumbents won, as expected, their opponents ran tough campaigns, with few landslide victories.
The race between Pat Roberts and Milton Wolf were being watched by pundits across the country as Wolf was a Tea Party Republican. This was probably the only real ideological battle of the night. Most of the races were focused on the candidates and their records. Ideologically all the Republican races were between conservatives with no real difference. Wolf's defeat was probably a real bad sign for the Tea Party as Kansas is a hot bed of far-left activism. They probably figured that Kansas was a sure bet. Even though Roberts beat Wolf by a comfortable margin, he had two other opponents, DJ Smith, with 6 percent and Alvin Zahnter, with 5 percent of the vote. Altogether, Roberts won with only 48 percent of the vote.
Roberts now faces Democrat Chad Taylor and Greg Orman, a Johnson County businessman who is running as an independent.
Tim Huelskamp barely won the re-election bid for his party. He beat Alan LaPolice. LaPolice was political unknown and yet was able to draw about 45 percent against Huelskamp, a two-term Republican congressman. For a short time it looked as if Huelskamp might not win. Heulskamp will now face Democrat Jim Sherow in the general election, in November. The Wichita Eagle reported that Sherow now feels more confident in his chances now that LaPolice got so many votes.
As with most of these races, both candidates are conservative. LaPolice tried to paint Huelskamp as a symbol of a dysfunctional Congress and a politician more interested in promoting himself on cable TV than serving the people in his district. Huelskamp also had to deal with ads bought from the Now or Never PAC due to his support of a bill that would eliminate the renewable fuels standard.
Sam Brownback won his primary challenge. But many activist and leaders in his own party are supporting Democratic governor candidate Paul Davis. Brownback's economic policies have been seen as a disaster by many Kansas Republicans. He has attacked public education and that has turned a lot of Republicans away from supporting him. Polls are showing that Davis is ahead of Brownback so this coming general election may mark the end of his run as governor.
Jennifer Winn, a Haysville businesswoman, got almost 37 percent of the vote, with a grass roots campaign with very little money and little name recognition. Pundits are warning Brownback that he should have done much better.
Most of the Democrats are running as moderates. They seem to cling to the "I'm just like a Republican only a little different" strategy that has never really paid off. The Democrats in Kansas are a pathetic party with little to offer the voters in either issues or vision. The only Democrat that has a chance of winning is Davis. The rest are expected to put up only a token of a campaign. For most of these campaigns the election is really over. Democrats have a hard time when they put up a real challenge and that is not likely to happen this year.

We do not know much about Nereus and Achilleus except that they were among the first martyrs to be venerated as saints. It seems that both men were Roman soldiers who persecuted Christians until they themselves were converted to Christianity. In order to live their new faith, they resigned from the army and left Rome. Eventually, Nereus and Achilleus were captured and put to death for their beliefs, perhaps in the second century. Saint Damasus, one of the first popes, wrote the epitaph for their tombstone. In it, he stated that it was love for Christ and a desire to witness to their new faith that inspired Nereus and Achilleus to "throw away their shields, their armor, and their bloodstained javelins" and give up their lives in martyrdom.

"First off you need to get your vitamin D level checked."
If your mother, grandmother, aunt or anyone in your family suffers from osteoporosis, chances are you will too.
What it is: a loss of calcium and other minerals in the bone making them weaker."
Because osteoporosis isn't painful there's no way to know if you have a problem until it's too late...unless you have your bones checked.
"Because it is something that you have to detect with a bone density machine called a dexascan. It's a table that you lay on. There's a computer that does an infra-red light that will actually calculate the density of the bone from the outside to the inside, and it gives you what is called the bone mineral density."
You can start losing bone mass in your 40's, or even earlier if you've had a hysterectomy.
And there's actually a pre-osteoporosis condition called osteopenia.
"Actually it's when you start losing your normal bone density, it starts to get lower, there is a stage called osteopenia. It's the stage between the normal bone tribecula and osteoporosis."
That's the time to get your vitamin D level checked.
"People talk about the calcium level. That's not really as important as vitamin D we have found out. A lot of people say well, I drink a lot of milk. If your milk is not being absorbed in your gut then the sunshine can't convert the vitamin D for your bones. I will a lot of times put people on 1000 milligrams of vitamin D a day, if that's not working, then there is a supplement of 50,000 units that we call ergocalciferol. I give a boost once a week or twice a week to get vitamin D level up, then after the vitamin D, there are medications that I use called bisphosphinates."
Bone loss doesn't just happen in women. 50-year-old Steve Jones found that out the hard way.
"I was at one of theme parks down at Disney and broke both of my feet just walking around. About the seventh or eighth bone I've broken in just the past 10 years."
Doctors believe Jones' bone loss is due to a kidney disease he had a few years ago.
Jones opted for a new type of treatment called IV Therapy.
"The advantage of having IV therapy, right now it's IV Boniva, which is every three months, you can do that right at the physician's office. It's a very easy procedure. On the Reclast, it is now yearly. What's good about the IV therapy versus the oral or pill that you would take. The IV is the smaller amount so it goes straight to the bones."
IV therapy is also nice for people who can't swallow a pill.
Another important point: weight bearing exercise can also help rebuild bone.
