Aquaponics Book
The book Aquaponics: a Comprehensive Guide to Proven Principles and Practices is being written to convey the current state of knowledge in the field of aquaponics. It will be directed at all levels of interest in aquaponics, from hobbyists to commercial producers and all levels of experience from beginners to well seasoned operators. Major emphasis will be placed on aquaponic systems, fish, plants and water. Though the book draws on scientific research and practical experience in the hobby and commercial sectors, it will present information in a way that can be of immediate use to the reader. The reader can find the information he or she needs quickly and will not be overburdened with a lot of background material. However, if it is essential to know the theory behind the practice for informed decisions, it will be given.
The authors, Dr. James Rakocy and Dr. Wilson Lennard, have more than 49 years of combined experience in the field of aquaponics and have six degrees in science between them. The authors have many years of practical, hands-on experience in constructing and managing aquaponic
systems. They also have a great deal of experience teaching aquaponics at all levels and
explaining important concepts in simple terms. This is not to say that a researcher would not
benefit from this book, for it presents the current state-of-the-art upon which to advance
aquaponic research programs. The authors have made numerous presentations at scientific conferences.

Back then you "traded" something valuable for something else. Expensive minerals for example such as gold which eventually became money.
Before society was as advanced as now, your services or whatever goods you could provide were traded for either goods or services. To become paid for working a job is still a trade, it has just become automatic.
To trade literally means buying or selling goods or services.
You just precisely explained what I meant by limited by language. But yeah, I screwed up my argument from the start. You are completely correct. 'Trade' is clearly all inclusive and I was wrong.

What Kind of Camp Is Aloha?
For more than 100 summers, girls from the
world over have shared the magic of Aloha,
surrounded by pine forests, sunlit meadows
and Lake Morey's sparkling waters. Aloha is a
traditional sleep-away camp for girls who love
living simply in nature, learning new skills
and making fabulous friendships. But Aloha is
no ordinary summer camp: it's a caring, learning
community where every young woman
discovers her personal strengths and best self.
It's also fun, every day and every night!
What Do Aloha Campers Do?
Aloha offers all the familiar activities of
summer: swimming, canoeing, sailing, hiking,
tennis, music, arts and crafts—and less
common ones, too: kayaking, crew, mountain
biking, rock climbing, archery, woodworking,
theater and photography. Aloha also specializes
in wilderness tripping—week-long hikes,
white water canoeing and kayaking, and
back-road biking through the Green and
White Mountains. Aloha campers consciously
choose how to spend their days, trying out
new activities that expand their horizons
as well as improving skills they're already
passionate about. Choice is a hallmark of the
Aloha experience that fosters independence,
goal setting, and responsible decision making
in strong young women.
What's It Like to Be a Camper at Aloha?
One of the first things you notice at Aloha is
campers' simple white and green uniform—a
T-shirt and shorts or jeans. It's our way of saying:
"See who I am, not what I'm wearing."
You also notice the simplicity of the place:
the dining hall in a lovely old farmhouse; the
arts and crafts studio in a handsome barn;
the rustic assembly hall overlooking the lake.
Then you hear bugles marking times of the
day, from reveille to meals to activity periods
and rest hours. No cell phones, computers or
iPods distract campers from hearing the song
of the wind in the pines. By keeping things
simple, we focus on things that really matter—
the beauty of nature, the fun we create for
ourselves, the joys of community, the lasting
friendships we forge.
The Aloha Magic
Every summer scores of returning campers
and counselors welcome girls who are new
to Aloha—and who are sometimes a little
apprehensive. We pay special attention to
helping each newcomer feel at home and at
ease in the camp community, and in her tent
or cabin "family" of three or four girls. Aloha
"families" live in camp "units" with girls of all
ages, participating in cookouts and overnights
together, planning surprise parties for the rest
of the camp, and entertaining their campmates
in special programs and ceremonies.
Campers and counselors say their Aloha
experiences have changed the way they
handle life's challenges for the better, and
help them to succeed at home and in school
all year long. In camp evaluations parents
frequently praise the new depth and maturity
they see in their daughters: "I can't believe
the girl who came home is the same one who
went to camp just a few weeks ago!"
Becoming your best self—in the world and
for the world—that's the essence of an Aloha

Look Who Is Not in Rome
As the current Italian government heads for its final days, with political huddles and parliamentary votes jammed into a few days to culminate over the weekend, one minister was out in the field, insisting that farming is Italy's critical issue.
Agriculture Minister Francesco Saverio Romano was in Cremona on Friday morning at a conference where he criticized the European Commission's latest Common Agriculture Policy proposal as "soulless."
He said it penalized "high-quality" food production, adding that Italy's farmers have only to gain by combating moves towards industrial efficiency. The sector is important for Italy because, beyond income prospects, it offered values related to "humanity and labor."
While there's no doubt that Italian agriculture is important, and it has contributed to GDP of late, the humanity of its labor was brutally highlighted a year ago by brutal attacks on underpaid immigrant fruit pickers in southern Italy. So it may not be the most important thing in Italy right now, where years of political profligacy have put the country's €1.9 trillion in sovereign debt front and center in the global financial crisis.
But what's interesting is that Mr. Romano–a Sicilian who has authored proposals such as sweeping amnesties for illegal windmill and solar subsidies on his island–wasn't in Rome at all, instead insisting on continuing "the so many things that have been done since I became minister."
Actually, Mr. Romano has been minister only since March, and his appointment can be correlated to the point when the Italian debt story turned into a full-fledged crisis, culminating in Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's promise this week to resign, which is expected to bring down the government this weekend.
Mr. berlusconi has been subjected to repeated claims of collusion with the Mafia, which led to the opposition launching a no-confidence notion against him. That Sept. 29 vote in parliament was the beginning of the end for Mr. Berlusconi, who ironically had poached Mr. Romano to prop up his majority coalition.
Which raises the other issue: Mr. Romano was elected on an opposition party ticket. No wonder Italy's plan is to hand the top government job to a political outsider.

Being in a band and learning music is one of the greatest indications of success in life. The dedication and learning skills are invaluable. The kids I went to school with that played in the band have a higher success rate than any other group I can think of and the stats prove this out universally. Great job. Sorry it rained on you but another learning experience.

Archive of the Month April 2013– Messiah and the choirs of St Patrick's and Christ Church Cathedrals, in Dublin
RCB Library Notes
Added on 01/04/2013
At noon on the 13 April some 271 years ago, the first performance of Handel's Messiah took place in Neal's Musick Hall in Fishamble Street, Dublin. Although the Musick Hall is no longer there, the event is remembered today with an annual performance in Fishamble Street by members of Our Lady's Choral Society, who faithfully assemble in the street, in the shadow of Christ Church cathedral, – hail, rain or shine – to sing the famous Hallelujah Chorus.
Detail from the Hallelujah chorus, part book of Christ Church cathedral (RCB Library C188.8.131.52.6).
A less well known aspect of the story is that at the first performance of Messiah five out of the eight soloists, as well as members of the chorus, were drawn from the ranks of the choirs of the Church of Ireland's two cathedrals in Dublin – Christ Church and St Patrick's. The involvement of the cathedral choirs in this performance reflected the growing opportunities for choirmen and choristers to sing outside of the usual cathedral settings, and also suggested that the cathedrals had a very competent body of singers who were capable of a high standard of performance. However, the involvement of cathedral singers in secular concerts was not always welcomed by the cathedral authorities. In December 1741, for example, the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church had threatened to discipline the organist and any choirman or chorister who assisted at musical performances without the special leave of the chapter.
Whilst the records of both cathedral chapters are strangely silent about the participation of cathedral singers in Messiah on 13 April and so it is not known if the singers had the blessing of the cathedral chapters for the historic performance, other interesting sources in their record collections (now safely housed at the RCB Library) provide many other nuggets of evidence about the Messiah story. A selection is presented online as April's Archive of the Month at the RCB Library – the repository where the records of both cathedrals are held.
Scores of the oratorio in the Christ Church music books indicate how the work was subsequently absorbed into its choral repertoires, while surviving orders of service and related concert programmes in the St Patrick's cathedral collection of records, reveal, for example, that two celebratory Messiah bicentenary concerts were held in 1942 given by members of the united cathedral choirs at successive performances of the work – the first in St Patrick's cathedral on Monday 13 April, and the second in Christ Church cathedral on Tuesday 14 April 1942. In the commemorative programme (digitally produced online) the names of choir members in both 1742 and 1942 are recorded.

Hostages Taken in Attack on Algeria Natural Gas Installation
From CBS News
Islamic militants from Mali attacked a natural gas field partly operated by BP in southern Algeria early on Wednesday, killing a security guard, according to local media, and kidnapping at least eight people, including English, Norwegian, and Japanese nationals, an Algerian security official said.
Seven others were wounded in the attack, including two foreigners, added the state news agency. Ireland has announced that one of the hostages has Irish nationality.
Algerian forces caught up with and surrounded the kidnappers and negotiations for the release of the hostages are ongoing, the Algerian official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
A man who identified himself as Mokhtar bel Mokhtar told the al Jazeera television network in a phone interview that he was leader of a regional jihadist group which carried out the attack, and that the hostages included British and American nationals. His claim could not be independently verified, and he spoke only of six hostages. A Mauritanian news outlet also received a call by a man who said his group had carried out the operation on the Ain Amenas gas field, taking five hostages — three Norwegians, a Briton and an American.
Attacks on oil-rich Algeria's hydrocarbon facilities are very rare, despite decades of fighting an Islamist insurgency, mostly in the north of the country.
In the last several years, however, al Qaeda's influence in the poorly patrolled desert wastes of southern Algeria and northern Mali and Niger has grown and it operates smuggling and kidnapping networks throughout the area.
- Terrorists, guns and cocaine: Why Mali matters
- French troops go after Mali militants on the ground
- France to triple Mali troop numbers
The attack in Algeria comes as French troops are trying to take back northern Mali from the militants. A rebellion that has seized control of northern Mali includes groups with close ties to al Qaeda and already holds seven French hostages as well as four Algerian diplomats.
The Ain Amenas natural gas field where the attack occurred, however, is more than 600 miles from the Mali border, though it is just 60 miles from Libya's deserts.
The British Foreign Office confirmed "a terrorist incident is ongoing" near the facility in Ain Amenas, 800 miles from the capital in Algeria's vast desert south. It could not confirm if any British nationals were involved in the incident.
BP, together with Norwegian company Statoil and the Algerian state oil company, Sonatrach, operate the gas field. A Japanese company, JGC Corp, provides services for the facility as well.
Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga says kidnapped foreigners include Japanese employees of JGC.
"We have withheld information earlier but we are certain that JGC is the one affected," Suga said, adding that the government is now negotiating with local officials through diplomatic channels, asking for safety first to protect the lives of the Japanese nationals.
Statoil said that it has 20 employees in the facility. The Norwegian Foreign Ministry said it could not confirm that a Norwegian citizen has been abducted.

SIKESTON -- Planning ahead is advised for those who wish to ring in the new year at one of Sikeston's public New Year's Eve parties.
The Sikeston's American Legion Post 114 will be holding a New Year's dance party followed by a breakfast, according to Larry Floyd, post commander.
"We've been doing this for many years," Floyd said. "We'll have our doors open for the public. We have a capacity of 200 and after that we have to turn them away."
As the party will be "first come first served," Floyd recommended getting tickets in advance at the post. "I'm pretty sure we're going to be packed," he said.
The cost is $15 per couple or $10 per person and includes breakfast.
The dance will be held from 8:30 p.m. till 12:30 a.m., according to Floyd, and will feature live music.
"The band will be 'Neon Nights' -- we're expecting a crowd," he said. "After the dance we're going to make sure everybody has something to eat before they leave: we're going to have a huge breakfast. Breakfast will start about a 12:45 a.m."
Breakfast will include two different types of eggs, hash browns, home-made gravy, biscuits, bacon, sausage and fried potatoes with bell pepper and beef sausage.
"They should have plenty to eat," Floyd said. "We'll stay open as long as it takes for everybody to get fed."
The American Legion's party typically costs more money to host than they bring in from tickets.
"If we make any extra it goes into our veterans fund," Floyd said. "We just hope everybody has a good time and a safe way home so we can bring in the new year right."
Cheers Bar & Grill is also anticipating a large crowd, according to owner Joyce Winchester.
"We're taking reservations," Winchester said. "They're not necessary, but I recommend them."
Live music by "Slight Return" will begin at 9 p.m., according to Winchester, and dinner will be served until 10 p.m.
"We're going to have a special menu -- not our regular menu," she noted. "And we're going to be having drawings all night long, free gifts."
The cost for Cheers' party is also $10 per person or $15 for a couple.
Danny's Place is also accepting reservations for its New Year's Eve party.
"We're already about half full right now," said owner Danny Bridger. "We're taking the first 80 people."
Festivities at Danny's will begin with a dinner at 7 p.m. A sound system and karaoke will be the entertainment.
The cost of $15 per person includes dinner and party favors.
Designated drivers are available at all the events which is good news for law enforcement.
"We will be looking at possible special enforcement measures such as increased patrols and DWI checkpoints," Drew Juden, director of the Sikeston Department of Public Safety, said of the holidays. "We just encourage everybody if they are going to go to a party to use a designated driver."

Some Nebraska programs are helping those who serve our country by giving a business boost to veterans.
For Cory Schmidt, the road from fighting fires to fixing tires started right after high school when he joined the Air Force.
"They had these things on base called auto hobby shops where you could work on your own personal vehicles or friends vehicles," he said.
And that's exactly what he did by building cars from the ground up.
"A lot of guys would take vacation and go home or go wherever," Schmidt said. "There's several times that I took time off and worked on these vehicles on my off time."
Now, he owns and operates Hardcore 4x4, an auto shop in St. Paul.
"Once I got out, that hobby kind of grew into a career," Schmidt said.
It was a long road from a hobby on a California Air Force base to a business in St. Paul, Nebraska. But, it's one that he says came with some help.
That help came in the form of a Patriot Express Loan through the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Schmidt says it helped open the doors to his company.
"I might not have had a business here at all without that program," he said.
Veteran Assistance and Service Program Coordinator Traci Miller said it's not an uncommon issue. She said it's one that these types of programs can help with.
"With so many returning home and with a limited job market, this provides them an excellent opportunity to get themselves out there and really use the skills they've garnered from their military service," Miller said.
But, it's not just loans that give veterans a boost at business outside a uniform. She said it's also about community support for those ventures.
"It's our duty. These people have given up so much for us," Miller said. "The least we can do is to give back to them."
She said that can mean lending a hand by giving business to veterans like Schmidt.
"Veterans, they've done a lot for the community for the most part and the country as a whole," Schmidt said. "I think it's just an easy way to return that loyalty."

- Now we get into the whole Let's Make a Deal portion of the scene. Levene offers Williamson a cut of the action, Williamson counters, Levene accepts, Williamson demands cash, Levene can't pay, Williamson calls the deal off.
- Act 1 ends for Williamson after the first scene, which means the actor playing this role gets a pretty sweet break backstage. Speaking of pretty sweet breaks, if you'd like to take a breather here's a video of some big wave surfing. (What does that have to do with the play, you ask? Absolutely nothing. That's why it's a nice intermission break.)
- With the office robbed, Williamson does his best to help the cops out and figure out what happened. He also still tries to get the guys to go out and sell.
- Not thinking things through (or just not caring), Williamson blows the Lingk deal for Roma, which leads to Roma and Levene berating him.
- No one likes to get berated, but this time around it actually works out in Williamson's favor. He catches Levene and gets him to confess to the robbery and sell out Moss.
- Williamson and Levene face off one last time, and Williamson wins hands down. He tells Levene he doesn't like him and sends the old man in to confess what he did to the cops.

Michael Nyman: I spy with my musical eye
The Times : Jan 20th, 2009
In his time as a critic, Michael Nyman was the first person to apply the term "minimalist" to music. As a composer, he has become Britain's best-known exponent of the form, making his fortune along the way, with soundtracks to such films as The Piano, The Draughtsman's Contract, The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover and Gattaca. Now, almost by accident, the man who has made the music for so many films has become a film-maker himself. "What I like about making films," he says, settling in his front room, "is that there is so much to talk about."
As ever, Nyman, 64, is wearing those spectacular, owlish glasses. And he continues to work at a ferocious rate. As well as a record label to run, the Nyman 2009 to-do list includes 50-plus gigs with his band, performing everywhere from the Sydney Opera House to Bestival on the Isle of Wight. Not to mention the solo concerts - the next biggie is a premiere of ten short pieces entitled fff at a £595-a-head Whitechapel gallery fundraising gala next month.
Nyman's primary calling, composition, also continues apace. In December his seventh opera, the first commissioned as a full-scale production, will open at the Catania opera house in Sicily. Its subject is the English Civil War. Which brings us on to another pleasingly consistent aspect of Nyman; he is rarely reluctant to have a pop at the musical establishment that, over the years, has so often had a pop at him. Today it is those in opera who have commissioned new works about such lofty subjects as plastic surgery (Skin Deep, Opera North) and Anna Nicole Smith, the doomed model (due next year at the Royal Opera House).
The Nyman nostrils flare. "It's kind of odd that an opera house in Sicily is commissioning on a subject fundamental to English history when English opera houses seem to be commissioning operas about plastic surgery and Playboy bunnies," Nyman says, steadily, before going for the jugular. "Both those subjects are great subjects for Five documentaries. But I mean there are so few opportunities to write an new opera, and" - he pauses despairingly - "there are so many f***ing subjects…"
The subtext is that no major British opera house has yet commissioned Nyman. And the nagging suspicion is that this is a slight against a man who has achieved popular acclaim with soundtracks, haughty rejection from some who disguise resentment as critical disdain.
But here the music must stop. Because, as he has already mentioned, what Nyman really wants to discuss today is his new career as film-maker. Videofile, opening on Friday at the De La Warr pavilion in Bexhill, East Sussex, is an exhibition of a dozen or so pieces of video art composed from photographs and footage taken by Nyman to amuse himself. It grew out of a longer-standing mania for photography. Sublime, a book of nearly 2,000 of his photos, was published last year and a few of his favourite shots will be at Bexhill.
None of his filming was meant to lead to an exhibition, but when Nyman realised that he had amassed 70 hours of footage on his travels, he decided to have a look through them with two editors - "I thought when I'm dead nobody is going to be interested" - which lead to Videofile. "Accidentally," he says with some satisfaction, "I had become a film-maker."
Throughout his life, Nyman, a Chingford boy born to the children of Jewish immigrants from Poland, has been an avid collector, his restless acquisitive instinct focusing on trophies as varied as African carvings, banquet photographs, bus tickets, fencing masks and toast racks. He lives alone - he is long separated from (but on extremely cordial terms with) his wife, Aet, and his daughters Molly (a composer) and Martha are grown up - in a state of glorious disarray, his big, beautiful house haphazardly jammed to the rafters with the fruits of his collecting. Photography and filming, he says, "is a bit like collecting: I like to see something that I didn't suspect was there. As a film-maker I collect events."
Those events include browsers in a Persepolis poster shop, a gnarled street musician in Lisbon, two train carriages' buffers bumping each other suggestively and, in two moving films entitled Witness 1 and Witness 2, an unflinching salute to Gypsy and Jewish concentration camp victims.
Most of the films are set to music that Nyman plucked, after much thought, from his archives. One film, for instance, records a group of Iranian metal-workers hammering away in an Ishafan bazaar. Reviewing the footage, Nyman says, "I thought: 'What have we got here? It's metal, being attacked." And he had a "eureka moment". He added to the film a piece of music that he composed for the bells of St Florian, an Augustinian monastery in Austria, and the result, Metalbangers, is mesmeric.
Nyman admits that he enjoyed a lot more creative freedom than when providing music for other people's films. "There is a lot of playfulness. I'd use my own material in the way any other film-maker or editor would have the courage to use it." In Moscow, bored, Nyman filmed in a recording studio as he was being interviewed. Looking back he realised that each time he was asked a question, he hesitated before answering.
"Again, I had one of those eureka moments that I have as a film-maker but don't necessarily have as a composer. I thought what we should do is to remove the speech - remove my answer to the questions, because I don't like the sound of my own voice and I'm fed up giving the same answers to the same old questions year in year out - and the hesitation would trigger a piece of music." There will be five versions of the same film at the De La Warr - his speech is replaced with a different piece of his music in each, everything from a TV theme tune to In Re Don Giovanni.
Nyman obviously relishes the artistic possibilities of his new medium. Not just the satisfaction of stumbling upon moments to collect on film, but the technical aspects that follow. A technology junkie, (today particularly unhappy that his second Mac Air is yet again on the blink) he is fascinated by the freedom that Final Cut software ("you can do anything!") gives him to manipulate his raw footage. Would he be tempted to graduate from video art to feature? He lifts those glasses on to his head and rubs his eyes. "I don't know, unless I could do it quickly. Having been around film-makers - I've known [Peter] Greenaway since 1961 - and seen the amount of time and energy that goes into making features, I can't imagine that I would ever be that interested in a subject to do all that preparation."
The only film in Videofile with a subject that he consciously set out to capture records a journey on the number 38 bus on the last day of the Routemaster. , Nyman's first route into London (from Chingford) was on the 38, and it inspired one of his first collecting manias, those bus tickets. He still uses it today - he's still annoyed to have missed one last month, on his way to Buckingham Palace for his CBE investiture - and says: "If I ever wrote my autobiography it would be called There and Back on the 38". In It's a Beautiful Bus Nyman records the conversation between two newly-met Routemaster aficionados, talking with love and increasing intimacy about their shared passion. But when they realise that they are neighbours in Ruislip they quickly backpedal . Behind them sits Nyman's assistant, her shoulders rolling in helpless laughter.
Unless exquisitely conceived - and it so rarely is - video art can be the most self-indulgent, baffling and mind-numbing of all contemporary art forms. Nyman's films, though, have an added dimension that elevates them above the schlock: these are first-hand fragments that tap straight into the restless, shifting preoccupations of the man who filmed them.
Videofile by Michael Nyman opens at the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill, East Sussex, on Saturdayand runs until Mar 15 (01424 229111; www.dlwp.com)

DUI and crash bring jail timeApril 06,2013DUI and crash
bring prison time
BENNINGTON A Pownal man will serve eight days in jail after pleading guilty Friday to drunken driving and leaving the scene of a crash in separate October incidents.
Jeremy M. Wilson, 34, pleaded guilty in Bennington criminal court to a felony DUI count and a misdemeanor count of leaving the scene of a crash which caused property damage.
The state dismissed three other pending felony counts of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Wilson was arraigned on two felony counts of drunk driving Oct. 29 and two more felony counts of the same charge, plus the misdemeanor count of leaving the scene of an accident, Oct. 31.
Police said in the first case Wilson was legally inebriated when he was stopped on Route 7 in Pownal on Oct. 13.
In the second case, police said Wilson fled from a crash near a horse farm on Middle Pownal Road on Oct. 21. He was found hiding in a horse pasture, police said.
A breath test indicated Wilsons blood-alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit for driving, police said.
Wilson was sentenced Friday to serve one to two years in prison, but all of it was suspended except for eight days.MORE IN This Just In

I made it home alive and safely. Woohoo. I've been able to hang out with Mark C. and Jarred already. As an added bonus, Clark is also around. I guess he's in the Navy now and just got a short break after basic training. It's been good to hang out with the family and have some good conversations with my friends.
Quick Movie Reviews:
Gangs of New York — Tons of violence and way to many half-naked women for my liking. My eyes were closed for at least 10 minutes of that movie. I wouldn't recommend it.
Star Trek: Nemesis — just about as good as a Trekkie film can get. Decent plot, decent action. Characters develop a bit. It's got some strange twists to the future of 'em all, but I'll let you see the movie to find out what.

What's the Future of Family Law?
I'm filled with anxiety about the future of family law. It's changing, and I wonder whether it's going to cease to exist. It certainly won't look the same in the near future.
Between the document preparation services, online dispute resolution options, non-lawyer ownership of law firms, the flood of new attorneys and resulting price competition, the decreasing desire of the market to involve lawyers in their lives, and the negative perceptions of family law attorneys, I wonder whether we'll still be here 10 years from now. Or five years from now.
Things are changing—fast.
I'm also filled with excitement by the possibilities. Something new will come, and someone needs to create it.
The late Peter Drucker said, "The best way to predict the future is to create it."
I'm working on the future, and so are many of you. The ideas I'm hearing are fascinating. Change is happening. It's going to be interesting.

I've been getting a lot of this "If this is your first?" questions, to which I smile politely and say, "No, fourth."
That in itself meanwhile sounds absolutely ridiculous to me unless someone is asking you what number drink you just had.
Or how many orgasms you had last night.
It's always followed with a lovely "Oh my goodness, you look so young" or some variation of how fabulous I look for having four children, so I really can't complain.
I'm not sure whether people are just being nice but at this point I don't give a shit.
And so, a few days ago while I was shopping for clothes, the same exact thing happened, which I relayed to my husband. And then, at the exact same time, we both burst out laughing uncontrollably, because that's what you do when it finally hits you that you're going to have four kids.
Apparently you also piss yourself.

Most wine drinkers, I'm convinced, think wine pairing is a bunch of hooey. They drink what they like no matter what is served, because they like the wine, period. Wine "pairing" is as alien to them as zither music. It's a frivolous pursuit among snooty people, they think.
As I began to learn how regional European wines came to be, I developed a greater understanding of the relationship of the indigenous food to the historical wines of the region. That's how I discovered that Chianti seems to take to tomato sauce better than other red wines, and that Beaujolais tastes good with salamis and vinaigrette salads when other reds do not. The crisp white wines of the Loire Valley taste great with rich foods cooked in butter and cream sauces in the north of France, while the Cotes de Provence roses and reds taste better with foods cooked with olive oil and Mediterranean herbs.
I have more success drinking white wine with cheese than red wine. And high alcohol table wines taste hot and clumsy with most food. And spicy food kills the complexity in wine.
So for me, selecting wine for dinner is more than just drinking my favorite wine.
But what happens when I don't know what's on the menu, like this past weekend? What then?
In such situations there are a handful of wines I turn to that have proven themselves more versatile at the table than others. Pinot Gris (from Alsace or Oregon) is one variety, Vouvray is another. Dolcetto, Montepulciano and red blends from Puglia are what I turn to when I want an all-purpose red wines for Italian food. Semi-sweet German Riesling when I don't know how spicy the dish is. Sauternes with Roquefort. Stilton with ruby Port. Always.
But the red wine that offers more chances for harmony with the widest selection of food on the table has to be Beaujolais. I've drunk it with the aforementioned vinaigrette salad with success as well as Thanksgiving turkey, loin of pork, salami, sausages, prime rib, chicken, duck and even omelets.
But that's me (and everyone else at the table that night). It's not necessarily you.
For those who prefer to drink fuller bodied red wines than Beaujolais, I understand. If you're happy drinking them with tapioca pudding or chocolate bars or chile verde or sushi, go for it. If you don't mind the burn on your tongue, drink 'em up. If they make you feel good, great. I'm into feeling good. Always have been.
So I won't try to force you to drink wine you won't like, even though I might love that wine with the meal you're about to eat.
You're on your own.

This song was crazy ill for a few non-disputable reasons. 1. Trigger's ver-derse. 2. DV's verse. 3. Smoothe's verse. 4. A catchy, sing-song'y hook in '96 that didn't fall under the soft, "let's rehash this 80's hit love ballad" category. 5. "Melting Pot" being sampled in '96…to then create a new age, thugged out B-Boy anthem. Oh yeah, 6. the way Smoothe drops mention of the Illuminati is too tough!
Trig and Smoothe (or Smoothe and Trig) really brought some fresh innovation to the 1-2-mic-pass tradition. Not only did they boast a complimentary pairing of vocal qualities, but the concepts they thought up to apply toward wordplay and phrasing were nextnextnext level. Graduates of the EPMD-meets-Rae&Ghost Academy of Dynamic Duo'ism.
After first witnessing the potential on joints like "Broken Language" and "My Brother, My Ace", to then hearing this and the mixtape classic, "Hitman For Hire"…I cannot tell you how mad I was at Def Jam for for shelving Trigger's Life's A 50-50 Gamble (the grudge would last for years to follow). Thanks, Def Jam, for subjecting me to glueing my finger to the rewind button whenever I popped in an old Stretch Armstrong radio tape that featured this joint (not a bad thing, but I'm sayin').

Roundup, MT Airport
Dear Sir,
Congratulations on what promises to be an excellent website resource for people affected by the FAA's extortion. I have a great of background and current litigation, and although I hate to unload this all at once I want to present some of my issues in order to facilitate better organization of them later.
First some thoughts -
Fighting the FAA's actions and illegal coercion seems to be top priority. I sued the FAA and local City/County together in State Court - finding ultimately that the FAA had to be dismissed due to a technical legal issue. So legal help for affected persons and their attorneys in the form of proper procedures would be of great benefit. Any damage or injury to the property or value of a person's property caused by FAA coercion must be recovered. Title 49 U.S.C. does not give the FAA the power to regulate the use of private property. The FAA issued a position statement in this regard concerning an airpark in Wisconsin (www.nmshtd.state.nm.us/upload/images/Aviation/FAA's%20Position%20on%20OSH.pdf). The FAA has only advisory capacity. If they attempt to withhold legal funding to coerce action on an issue they have no power to enforce, it would be regulation without legal authority. I have discussed this with AOPA's people without much success in the form of commitments to offer legal aid. I contacted the ACLU and was politely declined.
Getting the word out. I have suggested to AOPA that they provide some kind of forum in the magazine - a column or section that will attract the interest of large numbers of people who can contact their senators and congressmen and put pressure on the FAA.
Retaliation. There can be so many ways this can be fought - organizing boycotts of cities and towns that submit to FAA pressure, helping nearby residents band together and close airports that have harmed their TTF residents, blocking funding for airports that have harmed their TTF residents, etc.
Finally, my story is outlined as follows:
It started in 1982 when I verbally leased ground at the City/County airport in Roundup. I built a 40'x42' metal building on the site, and paid an annual rent for the ground and property taxes on the building. In 1992, I again verbally leased ground adjacent to my building to install a modular (mobile) home. I purchased and installed the home, skirted it, installed a private sewer system (septic tank and drain field), water system (cistern), telephone and power service entirely at my own expense. I paid an annual rent for this site as well as property taxes for the home. In December 2001 the City/County board sent me a letter that an airport project was starting and my home had to be removed in 60 days. I had no alternative and no time or resources to fight this, so I sold the home at a huge loss, stored most of my personal effects in my building, and moved away. In the ensuing four or five years, as I sorted through what was left of my belongings and discarded or moved them, the City/County board attempted to deliberately defraud me into signing a new lease agreement [for the ground for my building] that they had secretly rewritten. Fortunately I read what I am about to sign and discovered the ruse. The board has since refused my annual rent payments. I continue to pay property taxes on the building. There is no sale for the building, which is empty and useless to me. My actual monetary losses, for the loss of my home, the costs and losses in the storage and moving of personal effects, and the loss of the use of my building amount to over $85,000. I investigated the issues and sued the City/County board, the FAA, and the Montana Aeronautics Commission in State court to recover my losses. The FAA was dismissed from the action due to a technicality. Discovery to date has revealed that the FAA was the principal instigator behind the wrongdoing against me by the City/County.
I have extensively researched the matter and downloaded the relevant U.S. Code, as well as obtained a wealth of information online from Federal, State, and private entities about the issues at hand. The issues that are paramount and relate to the FAA are:
- No dialog. In all its published materials, the FAA states it wants to pursue all complaints and issues openly and with discussion. I, or my attorney, have followed their dispute resolution process [first contacting their local office (Helena), then if no satisfaction their regional office (Seattle), and finally their headquarters in Washington DC] to the letter. We have received only one inconsequential response from Helena, and nothing else.
- No notification of project. Almost all my actual and consequential monetary damages stem from the FAA and its clients (City/County) not notifying "all affected persons" (me), as prescribed by Federal Law, in "the earliest planning stages" of any proposed project. The entities mentioned knew, at least two years prior to my eviction in 2002, of the proposed project and its potential severe effect on me. I was never notified or contacted in any way. As a result, I could not voice my opposition, protect my interests, or posture my future actions accordingly. Several alternatives would have been available to settle the issues without the substantial losses that I did incur, had I received timely notice.
- No relocation assistance. The D.O.T. (FAA) has statutory remedies provided for persons who lose their homes due to Federal projects. A $25,000 payment is provided by statute to offset the costs of moving. The agencies (FAA and City/County) knew of the statutory provision, knew I would be relocated, and did nothing to notify me of this benefit.
- Overstepping statutory authority. It is believed that the FAA deliberately coerced and intimidated the City/County into eliminating my home, probably through threatening or insinuating that the City/County would lose Federal Project funding if they did not act as the FAA wanted. The FAA has no authority in law to regulate land use or to seize property (as mine effectively has been). The FAA has only an advisory capacity in this regard. If they would be allowed to do this, it would be regulating without statutory authority.
- Human rights and discrimination. During the same time frame that my home was being eliminated in Roundup (2000-2002), there was a [mobile] home situated on another FAA-assisted airport nearby (Laurel). That mobile home is still there. The FAA's argument that it doesn't want residences on airports is unfairly, unjustly, and arbitrarily applied. I have been the victim or arbitrary discrimination.
So much for the "quiet enjoyment of my property" I am supposed to have under the freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution.
I want to help you in any way I can. It's surprising that the large, elaborate airparks in Afton and Payson, Arizona are not [yet] screaming about their imminent demise.

Soulstice Theatre brings 'Blithe Spirit' to life
It's all jolly good to insist one shouldn't dwell in the past, but what's a chap to do when the past insists on dwelling with him?
That's the predicament confronting Charles Condomine in Noël Coward's "Blithe Spirit," a comic version of the contemporaneously published "Rebecca" that cuts like a diamond and is every bit as brilliant. It's now on stage in St. Francis, in a Soulstice Theatre production that opened Friday night under Char Manny's direction. »Read Full Article(1)
Pink Banana Theatre wrestles with truth, Internet in 'Dark Play'
When we first meet Nick in Carlos Murillo's "Dark Play," now on stage at Pink Banana Theatre Company in a production that opened over the weekend, he's a blandly attractive, seemingly wholesome collegian — "pretty much indistinguishable," as he'll later tell us, "from any other college kid."
But there's more here than initially meets the eye, as we learn when the woman sharing Nick's dorm-room bed begins asking about the web of scars along his waistline. Does Nick tell Molly the truth about these now-healed wounds? Or should he do as he's always done and make "stuff" — Nick uses a different word — up? »Read Full Article(1)

Physical Therapists: The Girl Next Door Goes to War
During WWII, thousands of American women served their country on the front lines and on the homefront as physical therapists (PTs). PTs served in every theatre of war: the European, Pacific, Mediterranean, and China-Burma-India. They served in combat zones, on hospital ships, and at stateside hospitals. They served with courage, ingenuity, dedication and the "can-do" spirit that has come to symbolize their generation.
As Major General Jeanne M. Holm (USAF ret.) writes,
"They served selflessly healing the injured in locations more global, more varied, and more distant from their homeland, than had any American women in their professions before them. They were awarded military decorations for heroism in North Africa, Sicily, and the Pacific. They were all volunteers, either as civil service personnel at the war's beginning or volunteering to serve as commissioned officers afterlegislation was passed. They were well educated. Some were married, some single, and, yes, some met their husbands in the military. They loved their country and enriched its traditions with their bravery. They were the girls next door."
From: In Defense of a Nation: Servicewomen in World War II by Major General Jeanne M. Holm, USAF (ret), Vandemere Press, 1998.

1882 to 1899 – Signal Service and Cotton Region Observers
In September 1881, the U.S. Signal Service inaugurated a system of weather observations across the southern U.S. for the benefit of the cotton industry. During the growing/harvesting season, usually April through October (start and stopping times varied depending on available funding), cotton region observers across the southern U.S. took daily weather observations that were telegraphed to the nearest Signal Service center. These reports were published in newspapers and in bulletins at cotton exchanges. According to Signal Service records, cotton region observations began in Jackson on April 1, 1882 and were taken at the Alabama and Vicksburg Depot located on Court and State Streets.
On October 1, 1890, the Weather Service was first identified as a civilian enterprise when Congress, at the request of President Benjamin Harrison, passed an act creating a Weather Bureau in the Department of Agriculture. Beginning April 16, 1893, weather observations were taken essentially on a continuous basis at Jackson by Weather Bureau cotton region and voluntary/cooperative observers, with additional observations under the Voluntary Observer Program began in December 1893. Early cotton region weather observers were telegraph operators for the A&V Railroad through 1899.
Much of this history is comprised of information from research done by Mr. Murray W. Smith, prepared in 1949 and Gary Grice, prepared on 2006.

I found some time today to make Ingen's support for running as an LV2 more solid. I have posted about this before, but it now works at RT appropriate buffer sizes, and several other bugs have been fixed. Here's the obligatory contrived screenshot:
People are sometimes confused about how Ingen works as an LV2 (I need to write proper documentation One of These Days): you don't load an "Ingen" plugin so much (it wouldn't do anything), as you save an Ingen graph as an LV2 plugin. The idea is that Ingen is a tool for visually building plugins. Since LV2 does not support dynamically adding ports, it's easiest to do your building as a Jack app, so the basic work flow is something like:
- Run Ingen as a Jack app:
ingen -eg
- Build a graph, adding ports, plugins, etc.
- Save the graph to somewhere in your
LV2_PATH, e.g.
~/.lv2(which happens to be the default directory of the save dialog for this reason).
- Voila, your graph should now show up in any LV2 host (its URI will simply be its local filesystem path, unless you explicitly set a stable one). You can check with
There is no export or compilation involved, Ingen's native format is LV2 compatible (graphs are always saved in the same format). If you saved a graph elsewhere you can simply copy it to
~/.lv2 to use it as a plugin, though for now you may have to create or fix the symlink to the engine binary manually to do this.
Note that you can edit the graph while it's running as an LV2 plugin, including adding new nodes and connections, you just can't add top-level ports because the host doesn't know about them. There is still some work to be done polishing this up to be ready for prime-time, but for the brave, it's more or less good to go.

NEW DELHI: The government plans to raise diesel, cooking gas and kerosene prices after the presidential polls but petrol will remain stable this month, a senior oil ministry official said.
"Diesel price hike is inevitable but I can't give you a date," the official said on condition of anonymity.
The official said "in principle" prices of cooking gas and kerosene would also be raised to cut rising subsidy bill.
There is a need to boost the economy by raising fuel prices but it would happen in a politically opportune time, the official said. "Nobody sacrifices the government at the altar of economic policies," the official said.

Urban land use plans, policies and regulations exist to manage the environmental, economic and social impacts of growth. Urban land use plans are normally made by local governments and are subject to varying levels of legislative and policy prescription. But we know little about the content of these plans in a collective sense. For example, we don't know how many urban land use plans in Australia aim to achieve ecologically sustainable development or promote affordable housing. Many local planning authorities throughout Australia are beginning to develop innovative approaches reflecting the latest knowledge about ecological sustainability, factors affecting regional economic prosperity, and community health. Currently however we have no systematic approach for sharing and building on this practice.
The Australian Urban Land Use Planning Policy Monitor will be a comprehensive online database containing baseline information about local urban planning policies across the diversity of Australia's 600+ local planning jurisdictions. The data will be recorded in a format that enables comparison across state, territorial and local planning jurisdictions. It will establish a reservoir of local urban planning policy data, informing state and national level appraisals of local practice and revealing areas in need of further policy enhancement. It will also provide a basis for identifying and disseminating leading practice examples and the contexts in which such practice is emerging and likely to be successful. Local governments will be able to use the monitor to lodge examples of successful land use plans and approaches in their area, enabling other jurisdictions to learn from these. As the local government area units for analysis are the foundation of many existing data sets (such as the Australian Census), the Monitor will support much related research. For instance, researchers could use the data to investigate the relationship between sustainable transport policies and journey to work outcomes.
The first Australian Urban Land Use Planning Survey will commence in May 2007. All Australian local government and planning jurisdictions will be contacted by the researchers to arrange the appropriate organisational respondent (local statutory planners) to participate in the online survey. All local councils who participate in the Australia Urban Land Use Planning Survey will have automatic subscriber entitlements. Others can purchase subscriber entitlements (including customised data sets) on an annual basis or request specific data runs for a fixed fee. For further information contact Dr Nicole Gurran, Urban & Regional Planning Program, University of Sydney on (02) 9351 7729 or e-mail email@example.com

Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. I am in general private practice in Baldwinsville and have a special sedation permit, which allows me to treat highly fearful patients. My professional interests include computer-guided implant surgery and adult cosmetic orthodontics.
How long have you been in triathlon, and what made you take it up? I have been involved in triathlon since 2004. I was a licensed amateur bike racer for almost 15 years before I became a triathlete. After "retiring " for a year I got tired of just mowing the lawn and decided to gi
ve triathlons a try. I have probably done about 250 bike races and about 30 triathlons. In bike racing you race almost every weekend from March until October.
Who is your hero? I really no longer have any sports heroes. I respect them, but I took down my Lance Armstrong poster a couple of years ago. I would now say my heroes are the veterans of the Iraq an Afghanistan wars.
What is your athletic background? I ran cross country at CBA, but was nothing special. I did the Great Race in Auburn a few years as the runner. One year I lost a coin flip and had to be the biker. I passed a lot of women and children in the race and found my new sport :-). While at the University of Michigan, I joined the cycling team at age 23. I was team captain by my senior year of dental school. I was definitely the only dental student traveling around the Midwest doing bike races every weekend when I should have been studying. It's a miracle I graduated! I kept bike racing and eventually became a licensed Cat. 3 rider, which allowed me to do a lot of Pro-Am racing where I was the "Am." On occasion, I got to race against U.S. domestic teams like Saturn and Motorola. I even did some one-week stage racing like the Tour of West Virginia and Super Week in Wisconsin. One day back in 1994 Frankie Andraeu rode in 60 miles from his home in Detroit, kicked everyone's ass in a 50-mile race and then rode back home. I won some local smaller races like the Oswego Tour de Loop back in '97 but I am a shadow of my former self on the bike. However, I can now swim.
What are your triathlon strengths and weaknesses? My strength in triathlon is the bike although I was more of a sprinter than a time trialist. My one piece of advice is that triathletes need to learn how to "hit the apex of the turn." Start wide, hit the apex and then finish wide all while holding your line. It will allow you to carry more speed through the corners. My weakness is the swim, although lately it has gotten better. I will never be confused with a fish though.
What was your first triathlon, and what do you remember most? My first triathlon was Green Lakes in 2004. I remember lining up right in the front row for the swim. Almost everyone in the wave proceeded to swim over the top of me. My family thought I drowned. I almost had to grab a kayak, but managed to flounder around to the finish. I was hooked.
What is your favorite race and why? My favorite race is Ironman Syracuse 70.3. I don't know if people realize how great it is to have that kind of race right in your back yard. There are not a lot of sports where everyday people can share a course with pros from around the world.
What was your worst race and why? I don't believe in "worst" races. You learn the most when you fail. Every race teaches you something. I guess IM Lake Placid was my most difficult race. When they say hydration is more important than eating they are not kidding. I got so dehydrated it hurt to pee for two days after the race. My recommendation for anyone doing IMLP is to get a coach even if you think you know what you are doing. Placid is no joke and should be respected.
What races are on your calendar for 2014? Last year I finally qualified for Age Group Nationals in Milwaukee. I honestly don't think I would have made it if not for my coach, Kristen Roe at T2 Multisport. So I will be at Delta Lake for a tune up and then to Nationals in August.
What are this year's goals? At Nationals the goal is to kick a bunch of old guys' asses and represent the 315. No, seriously, there are a lot of fast people there. If I finished in the top 50% of AG, I would be ecstatic.
In five years you hope to… still be above ground and still doing triathlons. I just got a camp on a Finger Lake so I may chill out a little more, but I will always be doing some kind of sport if I can.
Something most people don't know about you. I am probably a borderline extreme skier and can ski any double black diamond chute in the Rockies. My family and I love to surf behind our boat on a surfboard. We are inventing a new sport.
What triathlon has taught me. Triathlon has taught me that family and friends are actually the most important thing in the world. Triathlon, however, is a way of life. It brings balance to my life and teaches me something new every day.
If any club member would like to contribute to our newsletter or help in editing and arranging it each month, contact me at newsletter <at> cnytriathlon.org

Neat hat Kelly! So glad you posted this coz I was just about to start a double knit hat from that pattern on patterncentral that you used but then I saw this method and was wondering if it was better.
I'm dying to try double knitting but... hey, did you notice that in the pattern they leave out casting on Color B? Isn't that a mistake?
It says this:
Cast on 162 stitches in color A.
If you want to make your hat smaller or larger, you can cast on a different number of stitches. When changing the number of stitches, check your gauge and multiply the number of stitches per inch by the desired head circumference. Multiply this number by two (you're essentially knitting two hats, remember!) and cast on the resulting number.
Row 1: With color A *K1, bring yarn forward, slip next stitch purlwise, bring yarn back*, repeat from * to * across the row. DO NOT TURN WORK!
Row 2:
With color B *
slip next stitch purlwise, bring yarn forward, P1, bring yarn back*, repeat from * to * across the row.
Am I missing something? Nice hat anyway! cheers, Vic
