Bourne's Montreal: FIJM 2013 Dedicated to Dave Brubeck
July 9, 2013. Posted by Michael Bourne.Add new comment | Filed under: Dave Brubeck, Dave Brubeck Celebration, FIJM, FIJM 2013, Jazz Alive, michael bourne
A photograph of Dave Brubeck looked over us from atop Montreal's Place des Arts. FIJM 2013 was dedicated to him. He'd played concerts most of the festival's 34 years. "He was a great friend," said artistic director Andre Menard. "He was the one artist invited to play every year."
Wherever he played in the world, he smiled and he laughed, but nowhere more than in Montreal. "It's a jazz audience," Dave said to me at the 2009 jazzfest. "Right there, you're a step ahead of most audiences. Here, you better realize that you've got a lot of sharp minds out there."
On this year's final festival evening, The Brubeck Brothers, bassist Chris and drummer Dan, played a tribute to their father at Theatre Duceppe. Chuck Lamb played piano. Mike DeMicco played guitar. "Bossa Nova USA" and "Kathy's Waltz" were charming for starters. "You're probably here because you like melodies," said Chris as a welcome.
Chris told stories about his dad, especially about how some of Dave's classics came about. "Blues for Newport" was composed impromptu ("in three minutes") at Newport when Dave was told the Quartet was being recorded. Chris, Slam-like, scatted along with his electric bass.
Chris observed that nobody knows where Chuck Lamb will go when he's featured solo. Chuck played in and around the song "Someday My Prince Will Come" (on the Brubeck album "Dave Digs Disney") as a prelude to "Strange Meadowlark," the Brubeck classic that first turned me on to jazz.
Chris remembered when he and Dan were kids, when their father came home from a long-night gig and their mother said not to wake him. "We were in our room playing all these Disney records," said Chris, "and he must have heard all those songs through the wall. We figure all those songs got into his dreams."
Dave composed an exotic groover called "The Jazzanians" inspired by his son Darius. Darius plays piano and, when he lived for years in South Africa, he gathered a band with musicians of all races.
"My One Bad Habit," a beautiful ballad recorded by Carmen McRae, was inspired by Ella Fitzgerald. His father was hanging with Ella one night after a gig, said Chris.
"She was in a funk. He asked what was wrong. She said 'Dave, my one bad habit is falling in love.'"
Chris played Ella's lament from the deepest heart of his trombone. Iola Brubeck, mother of the Brothers, wrote the lyric to "My One Bad Habit" and inspired "In Your Own Sweet Way," played by everyone... sweetly.
Three of Montreal's best -- bassist Adrian Vedady, saxophonist Chet Doxas, and pianist Lorraine Desmarais -- joined the Brothers for several highlights, especially one of Brubeck's least-known but most exquisite songs, also for his wife of more than 70 years, "For Iola."
"Take Five" was the inevitable climax with DeMicco's guitar standing in for Paul Desmond and everyone soloing, including an expected spectacular drum solo from Dan Brubeck.
Chris Brubeck repeated the legend of his father's most famous classic, about Dave walking along a street in Istanbul, hearing street musicians playing a wild rhythm, and from that rhythm composing "Blue Rondo a la Turk."
"It's one of the most fantastic, self-propelling songs ever written," said Chris, getting to play both his bass and his trombone with everyone together at the last. Chuck and Lorraine switched back and forth between piano and an electronic keyboard. Lorraine played a solo so rollicking, she was pulled up to her feet by the rhythm.
"We were playing at the Hollywood Bowl," said Chris after the show. They were all talking. Nobody was listening." Unlike the audience of FIJM. What he said from the stage to them echoed his father's feeling for playing at the festival. "You're a great audience," said Chris to the sharp (and happy) minds of Montreal.
Bourne's Montreal: Zeus Enjoys The Godfather
July 8, 2013. Posted by Michael Bourne.Add new comment | Filed under: FIJM, FIJM 2013, Jazz Alive, michael bourne
Cinquieme Salle is a lovely concert hall in Montreal's Place des Arts. I'd never been there since a renovation installed the loveliness. I was late when French pianist Thomas Enhco was playing the "Fifth."
I was limping, and the usher pointed me to a door near the entrance. He pushed a large button with a disabled icon, and a door mechanically opened.
Behind the door was a chair on a small balcony, high above the highest row of seats. I could see and hear everything curiously intimately from high above. I felt like Zeus looking down.
I asked and was welcomed back to the Olympic aerie for a piano recital of Oliver Jones, long-time godfather of Montreal jazz and one of the sweetest cats anywhere.
When he was a kid, growing up in the black neighborhood called Little Burgundy, instead of playing ball, he'd listen to Oscar Peterson practicing at the piano. Oscar's teacher, his sister Daisy, became Oliver's teacher, and Daisy's piano is now an artifact in the FIJM museum.
Oscar became one of the biggest international jazz stars. Oliver stayed and played closer to home. When the festival in 1989 established the Oscar Peterson Award to honor a Canadian jazz musician, Oscar himself was the first to be honored, and Oliver was the second.
No other concert could have better celebrated the jazzfest's 25th anniversary than the duet concert of Oscar and Oliver in 2004.
I was there that night, and in 2000 I was there when Oliver played his retirement "farewell" concert, an evening of piano solos. After a charming recital, he thanked everyone for his career. And played about a dozen requests.
Oliver's retirement did not last long, and he's played concerts most of the last dozen years. Usually he's played with his trio, but this year at the Cinquieme he was alone at the piano.
"It Could Happen To You," played in and around the melody, was the first of so many favorite tunes he's been playing his entire life at the piano.
An inevitable highlight was a medley of Duke Ellington classics. An inevitable climax was the heart-lifting spirit of Oscar's "Hymn to Freedom."
"Next year I'll be 80," said Oliver Jones, not retiring anymore. "I hope I can play for you again."
I hope Zeus can be there to enjoy him again.

I am back, baby. Picking the game up after a long layoff, which followed a few years of playing really bad, with a horrific slice, tremendous temper and zero patience.
I got the temper under control, even without the smokes .
I have become a lot more patient.
So that leaves the game itself. I need to know where to start. I got a set of Tommy Armour 845s from a co-worker, so the clubs are taken care of.
Now I need to get to a range and hit some balls. How do I start? High irons? Driver? Do I go it alone and see where I'm at, or take someone with that knows the game? How many balls do I hit the first time out? How often do I go? How long until I play a course.
Someone, spell all this out for me.
And for you smartasses that know me, shut up. Don't even start

Estimated grade. Sold by David Akers Numismatics Oct '97 Price realized $385
David Akers (1975/88): The 1912 is not especially rare in the lower Mint State grades and can be obtained quite readily in MS-63 or lesser condition. But, as it does for nearly all the Indian Head $5 issues, the picture changes dramatically in MS-64 or better grade. In MS-64, the 1912 is seldom available and true gems are very rare and almost never seen. A very few really superb (MS-67) examples exist but a 1912 (or any Indian head $5 for that matter) is a major rarity at that level.
Almost without exception, the 1912 is very sharply struck with very good to excellent lustre, usually the latter. The surfaces are somewhat granular and the color is most often a light to medium yellow gold, often with a distictive greenish cast.

In a bid to streamline sales of casual video games, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. on Tuesday said that starting from the 1st of April, 2009, the PlayStation 2 video game console will cost $99 in the U.S. and €99 ($131.5). The company hopes that low price and very wide game portfolio for the PS2 will catalyze more people to acquire this very affordable console and will also help the firm to establish better position in the Latin American market.
Since launching in 2000, PlayStation 2 has sold more than 136 million sell-in units worldwide, making it the most popular system in gaming industry history. PlayStation 2's vast library of games from all genres for all types of audiences will grow to nearly 1900 titles this year, which makes it a rather attractive system to get for a novice gamer, especially in Latin America Region, where Sony Computer Entertainment America plans to officially launch its PS2, PS3 and PlayStation Portable systems shortly.
"Demand for PlayStation 2 remains strong throughout the world, and the new $99 price point will bring in new consumers who will discover how PlayStation platforms are an outstanding choice for their gaming and home entertainment needs," said said Jack Tretton, president and chief executive officer at SCEA.
While Sony claims that slashing the price of the PlayStation 2 from $129/€129 to $99/€99 represents "significant saving", the fact is that Sony is trying to expand its presence in new markets, such as Latin America and Eastern Europe, where video game systems are not very popular at the moment.
Latin America seems to be an exact point of interest for Sony Computer Entertainment: a week ago a new video game console called Zeebo was launched in Brazil at $200 price-point, just about $50 below the cost of the PlayStation 2 on the grey market in the country. At present it is unclear whether PlayStation consoles are available in the Latin America officially, but once the PS2 systems emerge at $99 price-point, they will have high chances to be much more popular than Zeebo, thanks to broader portfolio of games. Zeebo is not only aimed at Latin America and will be introduced in other developing countries in the coming years, but with the price of PlayStation 2 slashed further in European regions, Zeebo may not get highly popular.
One thing that will slowdown Sony PlayStation 2 success in the Latin America is relatively high pricing of video games: in the U.S. Sony charges up to $40 for a new video game and up to $20 for an outdated one, which is considerably higher than $10 for a pirated PS2 game in Brazil or $12 for a genuine Zeebo game in the country.

Red imported fire ant
The red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta), or simply RIFA, is one of over 280 species in the widespread genus Solenopsis. Although the red imported fire ant is native to South America, it has become a pest in the southern United States, Australia, Poland, Taiwan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, and the southern Chinese provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian. There are also reports of ant hills in Macau, the former Portuguese enclave that borders the province of Guangdong. RIFA are known to have a strong, painful, and persistent irritating sting that often leaves a pustule on the skin.[1]
RIFAs are more aggressive than most native ant species, and have a painful sting. An animal, including humans, typically encounters them by inadvertently stepping into one of their mounds, which causes the ants to swarm up the legs, attacking en masse. The ants respond to pheromones released by the first ant to attack and sting in concert, often killing smaller animals by overloading their immune systems.[citation needed]
RIFAs compete successfully against other ants, and have been enlarging their range.
They are a pest, not only because of the physical pain they can inflict, but also because their mound-building activity can damage plant roots, lead to loss of crops, and interfere with mechanical cultivation. It is not uncommon for several fire ant mounds to appear suddenly in a suburban yard or a farmer's field, seemingly overnight. Their stings are rarely life-threatening to humans and other large animals, causing only 80 documented[citation needed] deaths as of 2006. However, they often kill smaller animals, such as birds. They sometimes kill newborn calves if they do not get on their feet quickly enough. The sting of the RIFA has venom composed of a necrotizing alkaloid, which causes both pain and the formation of white pustules that appear one day after the sting.
Fire ants are excellent natural predators and are biological controls for pests such as the sugarcane borer, the rice stink bug, the striped earwig, aphids, the boll weevil, the soybean looper, the cotton leafworm, the hornfly, and many other pests harmful to crops. However, they also kill beneficial pollinators, such as ground-nesting bee species. Seeds, fruits, leaves, roots, bark, nectar, sap, fungi, and carrion are all fire ant prey, and they are not shy about creating their own carrion, either. They are proficient enough at overwhelming intruders that they can virtually clear an area of invertebrates, lizards, and ground-dwelling birds.
Red imported fire ants are extremely resilient, and have adapted to contend with both flooding and drought conditions. If the ants sense increased water levels in their nests, they will come together and form a huge ball or raft that is able to float, with the workers on the outside and the queen inside.[2][3] Once the ball hits a tree or other stationary object, the ants swarm onto it and wait for the water levels to recede. To contend with drought conditions, their nest structure includes a network of underground foraging tunnels that extends down to the water table. Also, although they do not hibernate during the winter, colonies can survive temperatures as low as 16 °F (−9 °C).
RIFAs were the first clearcut case discovered of a green-beard gene,[4] by which natural selection can favor altruistic behavior.
See also general ant morphology
Red imported fire ants have both a pedicel and postpediole. In other words, they belong to a group of ants that have two humps between the thorax and abdomen. The workers have ten antennal segments terminating in a two-segmented club. It is often difficult to distinguish between the red imported fire ant Solenopsis invicta and some other species in the genus. A number of characters are used, but are not always consistent between the black imported fire ant (Solenopsis richteri) or hybrids between the two species. Positive identifications can be made using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to distinguish differences in the cuticular hydrocarbons.
Queen and Worker Behavior
Studies have been conducted on the sex ratios exhibited within colonies of Solenopsis invicta. More specifically, it was observed that the queen actually predicts the sex ratios. In an experiment, 24 field colonies were selected with highly biased sex ratios in a monogyne population. Eleven of these colonies were male specialists (numerical proportion of males, range: .77 to 1.0), and 13 were female specialists (numerical proportion of males, range: 0.0 to .09). After exchanging queens, twenty-two of the 24 colonies accepted the foreign queen, and 21 of these colonies produced a new batch of reproductive 5 weeks later. [5]
Luc Passera and colleagues "found that the sex ratios produced in a colony post-switching was predicted by the colony from which the queen came." [6] For example, post-switching, a colony produced predominantly males if the queen came from a male-producing colony, and vice versa, regardless if the host colony originally produced mainly females. "By contrast, no significant change in sex ratio occurred in control colonies in which male-specialist and female-specialist colonies were given a queen from the same colony type." [5]
Another study compared the inhibition of the number of sexuals (male and female) produced in a single queen colony and a queenless colony. Pheromones were tested to have an impact—freshly killed corpses of functional (egg-laying) queens were added daily to queenless colonies. These effectively inhibited the production of sexuals, although not as effectively as living queens. Conversely, corpses of non-egg-laying queens did not inhibit the production of sexuals. Also, the addition of queens to previously queenless colonies, which had already developed large sexual larvae, resulted in the execution of most of these larvae by workers. This indicated that the queen's control over the production of sexuals can act retroactively, even after the larvae are sexualized. The results provide evidence that functional queens exert control over the production of sexuals in S. invicta through pheromones that influence the behaviors of workers toward both male and female larvae. [7]
The fire ant Solenopsis invicta also presents a paradox for kin selection theory. In multiple-queen (polygyne) colonies, the egg-laying queens are on average unrelated to one another, so the workers appear to raise new sexuals that are no more closely related to them than are random individuals in a population. This was tested by removing worker/queen pairs engaged in trophallaxis with forceps, and then sampling the allele frequency to estimate for the reference population. Frequencies of the most common allele at each locus in workers from the study colonies are .89, .92, .78, .71, and .81 respectively—the frequencies of these markers have been found to conform to Hardy-Weinberg expectations in past studies. Genotypic data were used to estimate relatedness between the workers and the winged-queens they tended, and it was indistinguishable from zero. The results indicate that S. invicta workers tending queens in polygyne nests do so without respect to the relatedness of those queens. [6] [8]
It has been observed that S. invicta workers not only tend to queens indiscriminately, but they also indiscriminately attack them. After temporary cooperation associations end between queens, a queen who produced more workers gained no advantage over the less productive queens. Queens producing diploid males reared fewer offspring but were as likely to survive as queens producing only workers. It would have been assumed that if workers controlled queen mortality, they would be expected to discriminate in favor of their mother, therefore increasing their inclusive fitness. This however should favor the queen with the greatest number of daughters during the period of queen execution. The data actually shows that the fights among queens themselves have a strong role in determining which queen survives—the heavier co-foundress was more likely to win. Thus, queen survival is enhanced by high fighting ability relative to co-foundresses, rather than by the number of offspring she has. Workers respond to these queen differences by attacking the previously injured queen to reinforce the effects of competition among the queens. [9]
Economic impact
Since September 2004, Taiwan has been seriously affected by the red fire ant.[citation needed] A few people are reported to have succumbed to venom from the ant stings.[citation needed] A large campaign to kill the ants has been partially effective, but it has not been able to eliminate all of them.
People's Republic of China
In the People's Republic of China in January 2005, a controversy arose when it became known that Guangdong's provincial government had suppressed all information about the spread of fire ants in the province since the middle of 2004. Newspapers in neighbouring Hong Kong, including Apple Daily, Ming Pao, Hong Kong Economic Times, Sing Tao Daily and Takungpao (the latter funded by the Chinese government), have also reported the ants have been found in both Shenzhen and Wuchuan in Guangdong province.[citation needed]
Hong Kong
According to a press briefing of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department of Hong Kong, the territory's authorities have also located several ant-hills of Solenopsis invicta in an artificial wetland in Hong Kong's nothwestern section.[citation needed]
There have also been reports of colonies in metro Manila and the Province of Cavite in the Philippines since July 2005; however, since early 2007, they have spread now as far as the Bicol Region.[citation needed]
An outbreak of the RIFA in Queensland, Australia, was discovered on 22 February 2001. The ants were believed to be present in shipping containers arriving at the Port of Brisbane from the United States. Anecdotal evidence suggests fire ants may have been present in Australia for six to eight years prior to formal identification. While the outbreak is restricted to a small (800 km2) region of southeast Queensland in and around Brisbane, the potential social, economic, and ecological damage prompted the Australian government to respond rapidly. The initial emergency response was followed by the formation of the Fire Ant Control Centre in September 2001. Joint state and federal funding of A$175 million was granted for a six-year eradication program involving the employment of more than 600 staff and the broad-scale baiting of approximately 678.9 km2 between 8 and 12 times, followed by two years of surveillance. Following the completion of the fourth year of the eradication program, the Fire Ant Control Centre estimated eradication rates of greater than 99% from previously infested properties. The latest (May 8) Federal budget confirmed the Program will receive extended Commonwealth funding of approximately A$10 million for at least another two years, until June 2009, to treat the residual infestations found most recently, and to fund validation of the overall treatment and surveillance program. (see:[10]) As in previous years, the States have agreed in principle to match the Federal funding. That decision is set to be ratified in June 2007.[dated info]
United States
The FDA estimates more than US$5 billion is spent annually on medical treatment, damage, and control in RIFA-infested areas. Further, the ants cause approximately US$750 million in damage to agricultural assets, including veterinary bills and livestock loss, as well as crop loss.[11]
Many scientists and agencies are attempting to develop methods to stop the spread of the RIFA. Traditionally, control has been achieved through pesticide use. From the 1950s into the 1970s, Mirex was extensively used in an attempt to eradicate the species. However, the pesticide inadvertently aided the fire ants' spread by killing numerous native ant species that compete successfully with them.[12] Mirex also caused even broader ecological harm that was often attributed to the fire ants. For example, it was first thought that the ants were linked to the decline of overwintering birds (e.g. the Loggerhead Shrike), but a later study showed that the pesticides were largely to blame.[13] RIFAs have virtually no natural biological control agents native to, or naturalized in, the United States, China, Philippines, or Australia. Current research is focused on introducing biological control agents from the RIFA's native range.
Biological methods
The microsporidian protozoan Thelohania solenopsae and the fungus Beauveria bassiana are promising pathogens. Solenopsis daguerrei, a parasitic ant, invades RIFA colonies to replace the queen in hopes of gaining control of the colony. For this reason, its use as a biological control agent is also being explored.
Pseudacteon tricuspis and Pseudacteon curvatus are parasitoid phorid flies from South America which parasitize the ants. The female flies each lay an egg at the junction of head and thorax of their victims, prompting a jerky dance manoeuvre by the ants. The larva then slowly consumes the contents of the head, decapitating the ant in the process, and uses the exoskeleton as a pupal case.
Phorid flies have been introduced in many places in southeastern United States, and are slowly reproducing and spreading to cover the entire RIFA range. The amount of actual damage done to the ants by phorid flies is minimal, but the ants appear to be aware of the hovering flies, losing their social organization and ceasing foraging. In addition, phorid flies are very species-specific, and should in theory leave native ant species (the fire ants' prime competitor) unmolested.
Scientists at the US Agricultural Research Service also have been able to infect phorid flies with Kneallhazia solenopsae, a spore-producing insect pathogen, to control the population of red imported fire ants.[14] The flies are unharmed by the pathogen and serve as vectors in transmitting the disease to the ants. The pathogen is able to reduce red imported fire ant colonies from 53-100%, and may serve as an effective biological control for the ants.[15]
A virus, SINV-1,[16] has been found in about 20 percent of fire ant fields, where it appears to cause the slow death of infected colonies. It has proven to be self-sustaining and transmissible. Once introduced, it can eliminate a colony within three months. Researchers[17] believe the virus has potential as a viable biopesticide to control fire ants.[18]
In some cases, hastily adopted biological control agents can do more harm than good (such as the western mosquitofish in Australia), and it remains to be seen how much success biological control of the red imported fire ant will have.
Physical methods
Researchers have also been experimenting with extreme temperature change to exterminate RIFAs, such as injecting liquid nitrogen or pressurized steam into RIFA nests. Besides using hot steam, pouring boiling water into ant mounds has been found effective in exterminating their nests.[19] Folk remedies have often sought a rapid increase in temperature by soaking the nest in gasoline or kerosene and lighting it on fire, though this is potentially dangerous. Further, the burning of the nest is ineffective due the tendency of queens to be several feet underground. This confusion stems from the observation that fuel vapor has a near instantaneous lethal effect on the ants.[citation needed]
In Brisbane, Australia, colonies are being eradicated or effectively controlled by ground baiting with food laced with contraceptives that render the colony's queen infertile, and toxicants. Mass baiting was undertaken following detection of the ants around the port of Brisbane and in southwestern Brisbane in 2001. Widespread public reporting of suspect colonies (by sending in samples of ants for identification) allowed mapping of the ant's locations. This was combined with satellite imagery to determine the vegetated habitats most likely to be infiltrated by the ants, and the baits were targeted in these areas. Known infested areas were declared high-risk (Restricted Areas), and any material being moved from these areas which could harbour ants (soil, mulch, potted plants, potting mix, hay bales, construction machinery, etc.) had to be inspected prior to disposal or movement, and bulk waste sent to transfer stations for examination, treatment and disposal. The infestation was initially thought to cover 270 km2, with a density of up to 600,000 colonies/km2 on highly infested sites. As program activity refined data on the infested area, overall size grew to around 80,000 ha by 2006/7. At mid-2007 in the on-going nationally funded eradication campaign, fewer than 100 active colonies were located in the entire South-East Queensland area during the six months between September 2006 and February 2007. The focus of delivering eradication has now switched largely to surveillance, while control and validation measures are expected to continue until 2009. The six year eradication campaign has cost A$175 million to date, and has just secured funding in principle for a minimum of two more years.[20][21]
A fire ant genome was sequenced in 2010.[22] This creates new opportunities for research on fire ant behavior, and offers new opportunities for directed control measures that minimize environmental impact. The sequence can be searched and downloaded at antgenomes.org.

Topic: Building an app - Advice wanted!
Our company has a database (Open Edge) with about 250 tables that are not named in the 'rails' way. I would like to build a web based reporting system.
How would I go about retrieving data from these tables and displaying in web pages?
Do I need to build a model for each or can I just query the tables from the controller?
I may just use php as it may be easier???
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The transient treasures of summer
Summer's treasures are transient — the monsoon storm and the rainbows left to shimmer in its wake; the perfect, starlit night filled with the smell of a great barbecue and music floating in the air from who knows where. And then there are summer's precious gems, the glorious, gleaming gifts cultivated with care in our gardens or surprising and delighting us on the banks of bar ditches along the roadside — flowers.

Forget Personal Freedom, Worry About Others
To the Readers' Forum:
The motto of America is "In God we Trust," yet it seems as though guns and freedom are more important than trusting in God.
Tragedies are part of life, yet our immediate reaction is always why, and how can we prevent it. Seat belts and helmet laws were designed to save lives and have had record success in preventing loss of life over the decades.
If bridges were collapsing on interstate highways on a bi-monthly basis, would we stand idly by? Wouldn't we be outraged about the loss of life due to negligent street and highway repair? The critical question facing our nation today is not the loss of freedom that gun laws may generate, but the loss of safety for our society, when the right to own a gun is more important than public safety.
I am for all gun owners, hobbyists, and hunters, who understand the responsibility they have for owning a gun. I would never want to take away the desire to own a gun from anyone, nor should the US government, which the Constitution enshrines as a right of possession for all Americans.
There are no easy answers for the unspeakable tragedy that has confronted our nation once again, but I do have lots of questions. Why don't we cover mental health on our insurance policies? Why can't we treat people who need mental counseling as though they have appendicitis? Why don't citizens who own guns have them locked up, or stored away from home? Why aren't there uninform gun laws that all states must subscribe to? Why can't we create a public list shared by all the states of mentally disturbed people who should not have guns? The most important question however is, why is the right to own a gun more important than the right to public safety?
I submit that if we charged the NRA $10 million for each life lost due to gun tragedies of this magnitude, they would come up with solutions and laws to protect gun owners rights, and protect society from crazy unspeakable tragedies. I have faith in the NRA's ability to do so, they just need to Trust in God more to see how positive protective laws can benefit society and gun owners alike.
Stop worrying about personal freedoms and start worrying about your neighbors' or children's lives! Who knows, the life you save may be your own!

In short: Is it just me that wants the hill backIn full: Enjoyed it again and the rain stopped at the right time. the course change has got a lot of positive feedback but i think it's a pity to see the big challenge removed.I'll be back ....Date of review: November 30, 2009
In short: Two Loops of Flattish Norfolk Countryside...In full: I've not done the previous Norwich course, which i'm told did have a "killer" hill.This course is best described as having the odd undulation and passes through a mix of small villages, countryside and through the Norwich Showground. Well marked on the miles, by the time you're on the 2nd loop you know fully what to expect and can push hard for that PB...The fact that the rain held off for the race, helps wrap up my happy memories of the day - i'll be back next year.Date of review: November 30, 2009
In short: Really enjoyed the race, was worth the trip from Hertfordshire. A bit of a beginner so it was very beginner friendly.Date of review: November 30, 2009
In short: good to get off on time this year,rain held off which was a bonus, change of course was a good idea & traffic free!Date of review: November 30, 2009
In full: Big thank you to all the marshalls and the drivers that slowed down and shame on the drivers that thought they were at brans hatch. Thank you to the marshall at 9 miles who put a plaster on my back.Date of review: November 30, 2009
Date of review: November 30, 2009
In short: Like-able race but cold cattle sheds for changing roomsIn full: Weather conditions didn't help but race was good, I was on for a PB but my legs had over plans. Car park was very slow to get out off. There were more peolpe supporting than I expected. The changing area was very cold and a distance from the showers. I would it again just to beat my slow time.Date of review: November 30, 2009
In short: Mainly well organised raceIn full: Enjoyable race with good and supportive marshalls. Could have done with more people for chip collection and goody bag area but can't have everything. Well done CONAC I'll be back next year.Date of review: November 30, 2009
In short: Great course change, PB route now, organisation spot onDate of review: November 30, 2009
In short: Good smallish raceIn full: I had a great time and managed a good PB despite lack of training!

As i've said in a few posts I was out of the tea game for a few years and forgot a lot of things that I had not written down.
My current problem is I can't get my dragon well to taste like it did back in the day. Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
I brewed 3 grams of leaf in a 2 ounce pot at 170F for 1:35.
It had the dragon well taste, but also some unpleasant bitterness that totally ruined the cup. I was surprised to get bitterness because I went way shorter than I had read I was supposed to. Any advice?

Gazprom proceeds with its hazardous rush for offshore Arctic oil while failing to comply with Russian safety and environmental regulations, meanwhile its onland oil production remains a disaster for nature.
In response to news that the Dutch government has today submitted written arguments to the arbitral tribunal which is hearing the Arctic Sunrise case, Greenpeace International legal counsel Daniel Simons said:
The first time we go through the oil field I have the feeling of being in a movie. Chimneys gurgle flames and black smoke high into the sky, and mixed with the nauseating smell of burned rubber it all seems to belong in a surreal world.
Greenpeace Oil Spill Patrol in the Russian Komi and Nenets regions found 204 spots of oil pollution including 20 fresh ones that occurred this year. The total polluted area is 130 hectares.

The size was perfect, the flavor was great, but it was too dense for our liking. What can I try different to develop a flakier crust? Would Caputo 00 flour work? Shortening? Laminating? Thanks for helping me on my first post!

I've let starters go 4+ months in the fridge without feeding. They take a couple days of feeding at room temperature to get them back active, but they don't seem to be any worse for the wear after.CL
Jackie, thanks for the sound advice, makes sense. Until I found this site, i though I was a decent pizza maker, been doing it in my oven and BGE for many years. I discover now that I had no idea what I was doing with the dough, just added a glug of olive oil and honey to a cup of water and IDY, turned on the Kitchen Aid for 20 minutes or so adding flour until it felt right. I realize now how inconsistent my results were, also i usually had rolled out the dough, not stretched. So I have a lot to learn, this seems to be the place for it!I think i will shelve the starter for a few months until I become a bit more proficient.Dale

A Meal, A Fruit, A Smelly Mess | The World Of The Durian
Contributing Monkie Julie Morris
Topics of Interest Durian
Published on May 21, 2008
Section GreenChef Foodie Talk, Recipes / GreenChef Ingredients & Tools
I'm pretty sure the first human to try eating a durian was either clinically insane, starving to death, or my buddy from college (seriously — that guy would eat ANYTHING). After all, a durian is a massive fruit (weighing up to ten pounds) that has an outside shell completely covered in unfriendly spikes — spikes which kill several unlucky people a year…after a piece of the fruit falls on their head.
The inside of a durian isn't much more inviting either, containing a collection of slimy pulpy pillows that look a lot like gelatinous scrambled eggs. And then, of course, there's the durian smell that's so outrageously in-your-face strong (resembling a mixture of tropical perfume and rotting garbage) that the fruit is banned — by law — from many indoor public spaces in the durian's native Southeast Asia.

The number of images found in each folder is listed inside [square braces] next to the folder name. For example, if the Image Browser shows Monuments [15], it means you have a folder named 'Monuments' containing 15 images in formats AutoCollage understands.
The folder you select may not have enough images to generate an AutoCollage. If this is the case, you'll receive an informational message in the image preview pane. Select a folder with more images before attempting to generate a collage.
Conversely, some folders may have more images than AutoCollage can load. If such a folder is selected (usually with [300+] listed as the number of images in the folder), AutoCollage 2008 will only load the first 300 images from that folder.

Bringing a puppy home is one of the most exciting moments in many pet owners' lives, but puppy training is no easy feat. Teaching your dog how to behave is a crucial aspect of raising puppies, and it is important to start this process from the day you bring the canine home.
All puppies start learning from birth. Puppies can learn commands such as "sit," "down" and "stay," as young as 7 or 8 weeks old, although you should expect a short attention span, according to VCA Animal Hospitals.
Positive reinforcement and "food-lure" training are the best methods to teach your dog the skills you want it to be able to perform. Even if your training sessions are short, they should occur daily. Use the food to lure the dog into the position you want it to be in (waving it to the ground if you want it to lie down, for instance) and pair the movement with the verbal command.
At first, the puppy will need to see the food in your hand to follow it into the position, but as your puppy gradually becomes more familiar with these exercises, you can hide the food in your hand but give the command, and they puppy will likely know what you want it to do.

Yes, we need rail service to Lake Placid
We clearly need to rethink intercity trains in this country, but services like Amtrak's are drained of capital trying to maintain old, no longer needed or used routes.
For example, it took years for the New York Central Railroad (pre-Amtrak) to get permission to shed its Utica-to-Lake Placid dead-end service after making repeated requests based on negligible demand for either passenger or freight service on that route. Now some claim that if we rebuild it, people will use it to access our Olympic and tourist center at Lake Placid as well as the other Tri-Lakes towns.
This is a noble goal, as we all agree that tourism is the economic engine of our communities. And if people really want to get here by train and we can get them here without draining our tax dollars, we should do so, in my opinion. But rebuilding a decrepit dead-end line from Utica to Lake Placid may not be the way to achieve that goal.
Many do not realize that, right now, you can buy a ticket at www.amtrak.com from Penn Station in New York City to Lake Placid. The ride takes just under seven hours, including a final half-hour or so by shuttle from Westport, and costs $99. But there is only one train per day.
The NYC-to-Albany-Rensselaer service has hourly trains, and the ticket is only $41, a cost of roughly 28 cents per mile. And at two-and-a-half hours for the 150 miles covered, the average speed is 60 mph. Contrast that to the train to Westport that then connects to Lake Placid. The second 150 miles costs 40 percent more and takes roughly twice as long. It makes very little sense that the densely populated area between New York City and Albany should have such poor and limited service north of Albany to Montreal.
Even if that one train a day maintained its 60 mph average speed after Albany, the trip to Westport would be four-and-a-half hours and the total travel time to Lake Placid just over five hours. And while we are speculating about improved service, why only 60 mph? Travel times between much smaller cities than New York and Montreal – e.g., Paris and Lyon, France, which is exactly the same distance as from New York to Montreal – are UNDER TWO HOURS. (The New York-to-Montreal trip takes 11 hours on the same train that stops in Westport, six times as long as the Paris-to-Lyon run!) One big reason we do not have five-hour service to Lake Placid is that much of the line north of Albany is a single track, and passenger trains must pull onto Howard's siding to avoid oppositely headed freight trains, sometimes with very long wait times.
So when it comes to where we really need higher-speed train service, like on the New York-to-Montreal line, the argument always is that we cannot afford to upgrade the tracks or equipment, build parallel tracks to avoid sidings, and so on. While we seem to have no money for an existing, heavily used freight line that could, if upgraded, also carry many more passengers, how can we ask the state to restore service to Lake Placid from Utica? The cost of doing that, $50 million in 2014 dollars (New York State Department of Transportation's 2008 estimate of $43 million adjusted for inflation), is justified on the speculation that this route would be used enough to justify such expense. But why would anyone spend $50 million on a dead-end route that went out of business due to lack of demand twice, has been unused for 42 years, with no study supporting the premise that freight or passengers would use it, when that $50 million could be put into improving service on the line that already exists?
The opponents of converting the line between (at least) Old Forge and Saranac Lake to a recreation trail keep asking why the trail advocates and the train advocates can't get together to agree that somehow we can have both. I say we can. Let's press for better service on the line that we have and make better use of the line that we abandoned 42 years ago. Let's ask Gov. Cuomo to first spend whatever money he has for better rail service on the Albany-Montreal route, to eliminate sidelined passenger trains and to add more scheduling options. Let's set a goal of five hours from New York City to Lake Placid, with at least three trains a day, a very attainable goal as this does not involve fancy high-speed trains or better tracks, just a parallel track north of Albany. That way we win three ways: better visitor access to our communities, more for them to do when they get here, and a wonderful new "green" recreation and commuting facility for those of us who live here.

CommHub TF has now merged with InteropWG. Therefore, the Security TF people are special guests today. Topic: InteropFest Jon: Reminder - press release next week. quotes need to be in by tomorrow Bertrand: MS will be participating Jon: Do you want to be listed in the press release? Bertrand: Yes Jon: Provide a quote? Bertrand: Probably not. Jon: I'll send you the information. Topic: Face-to-face meeting Jon: Big week next week. AJAXWorld mon-wed. OpenAjax f2f thurs. Mobile Ajax workshop on friday. Our generous hosts MS need to know who will be attending. Is there anyone here who will be attending that hasn't added their name to the registration page? (one person says yes and then adds his name to the registration page) Jon: I included a link to the f2f agenda in the agenda for this meeting. If anyone has suggestions about missing topics or other changes, please tell me. Topic: OpenAjax Registry (Jon asks everyone to navigate to http://www.openajax.org/Registry <http://www.openajax.org/Registry> and subdirectories. Explains the assessments/ subdirectory and the search_globals.html tool which loops recursively through the window object to look for all JavaScript objects and properties and then allows comparisons to determine what changes were added to the JavaScript environment.) Bertrand: What does the logic do? Jon: Starts with window object. for/in loop to get all properties. If a property is an object, then recursive go through that object. Bertrand: Should be easy enough to add logic to look at the built-in types and add lookups for HTML extensions. Jon: Please send in the code. Bertrand: Will do. Jon: Feedback on this approach? Howard: Have companies do this themselves. Bertrand: Yes, in everyone's interests to submit accurate information. Howard: Self-police. We aren't trying to do this for everyone in the industry. Jon: Yes. I was thinking that toolkit vendors would submit an HTML file along with their proposal registry entry. Howard: Some toolkits have many instantiations. Don't want to put a burden on ourselves to study all of those permutations. Jon: How about we encourage them to use the tools. Howard: At some level, it is like the InteropFest. Jon: OK, here is a proposal. I'll take this discussion and update the Registry wiki page to reflect this discussion then send an email telling everyone to review the diffs. Any objections to this approach? (no objections) Jon: Next proposal is that we start with some easy well-behaved toolkits to see if the Registry process works for them. Then add a toolkit such as Prototype that extends core objects. Then look at MS, which is likely to be more complex. Bertrand: How about json.js instead of Prototype. Jon: Yes, good idea. Topic: Hub 1.1 Jon: This is largely a repeat of things we have talked about many times, but this time we are all together so I will present this again. The target features for Hub 1.1 are to extend pub/sub beyond a single frame to cross-frame, add a framework for secure mashups, and add mediated comet support per the work in the CommHub task force. The proposed process is to have volunteers work on experimental open source. This is the same process that we used for Hub 1.0. People produced experimental open source. When the open source was ready, we talked about it and decided what we liked and didn't like. We consolidated contributions from multiple sources, such as some of the Tibco/Dojo contribution with some of the Nexaweb contribution. What do people think? (no comments) Jon: The SMash team has already submitted their source code to the open source project. I am expecting them to transform the SMash code into a form such that it will be upwardly compatible with Hub 1.0. When that is at a point, we will look at it just like any other contribution. Jon: The timeframe I have in mind is to have working code by the end of 2007. If there isn't enough volunteer effort, I will probably have bandwidth after the horrible week next week to do some of this work myself. Topic: Version string issue Bertrand: Don't feel too strongly one way or the other. Not sure it is worth ...(lost what he said) MikeP: Is the issue whether we think people will want to do version number comparisons? Ted: ODBC has had success with four numbers separated by dots followed by arbitrary text. The version comparison is rarely needed in early phases but is used more in later phases. (others - thumbs up on ODBC's success in this area) Frederick: What is the purpose of the free text? Jon: I can only guess what Adam had in mind and assume that most often it would be used to say alpha N or beta M or build N. Frederick: Human readable? Ted: Yes. But the leading numbers can be used for comparison. Jon: Here is what I propose. Ted sends links to ODBC specs. We agree in principle to adopt the ODBC approach pending detailed review. But no real decision until we review the ODBC specs. Any objections? (no objections) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Beware the Windy Ides of MarchMarch 6, 2013 by Bruce Landsberg
March—in like a lion, out like a wildebeest, or perhaps a three toed sloth. No matter the animal of departure, March is often the windiest month. The winds can make flying much more difficult and sometimes downright dangerous. Case in point is the accident this week of a Mooney M20E that crashed shortly after takeoff. My comments are speculative because the accident is under investigation, but here are some early details.
- Depending on fuel load, the aircraft was heavily loaded with three adults and one child—not necessarily overweight, but heavy.
- Angel Fire, N.M. (KAXX), was the reported point of departure with a field elevation of 8,379 feet—there won't be a lot of extra climb left in a normally aspirated, 200hp engine.
- The winds were reported to be gusting up to 47 knots.
- The pilot was reported to have just over 500 hours total flight time. The Associated Press interviewed the airport manager who said the pilot, "…felt comfortable with his abilities and the aircraft. And given as we are not policemen, we can't ask him for the keys. We had all kinds of warnings posted on the front desk, plus we questioned the pilot as to whether he really wanted to go in that weather." The manager noted that no other flights arrived or departed that day.
This is one of those heart-breaker mishaps—I won't call it an "accident" because this could be easily foreseen. We don't know yet much about the pilot, but the desire to return from a family ski trip apparently was compelling.
I co-chair an FAA safety committee that is tasked with lowering the GA accident rate, and personal flights have the worst record. We recently discussed that all the usual educational efforts that the Air Safety Institute, FAA , EAA, and many of the type clubs have undertaken will work quite well for 90 percent of the pilots. The other 10 percent are just not susceptible to this approach, and the conversation then shifts to safety culture. (The percentages are made up you can use any you like.)
Changing culture is a long term effort, and the results are slow to be seen. It took two generations to get the majority of drivers to start wearing seat belts. Driving under the influence is another area that has taken considerable effort to swing the pendulum toward safety. In all cases of potentially destructive behavior in any personal activity, there will be people who don't understand, or have a much higher risk tolerance than is healthy.
The question comes down to whether the decision-making is taken out of the cockpit for personal flight or, as in automobiles, motorcycles, or boats, we accept that a small percentage just can't be saved. The price of freedom is never free—education efforts should continue and they will, but the human psyche is complex and sometimes perverse.
Beware the lions and tiger and bears.
Educating pilots on improving their skills and enhancing GA safety is a core tenet of the AOPA Foundation's Air Safety Institute and its educational programs. Your contribution funds these activities and ensures we continue to address the needs of pilots everywhere. Show your support with a donation today.

In Los Angeles Unified, new teachers get the weakest students, reports a six-year study by the Strategic Data Project.
The study also found "significant disparities in effectiveness among the district's elementary and middle school teachers, as measured by students' standardized test scores," notes EdSource Today.
Researchers found that the difference between a math teacher in the 75th percentile – those whose students performed better than three quarters of other students – and a teacher in the 25th percentile was the roughly equivalent benefit to a student of having eight additional months of instruction in a calendar year (technically one quarter of a standard deviation).
New teachers hired through Teach for America and the district's Career Ladder program that helps aides become teachers were more effective in math than other novice teachers by two months for TFA and one month for former aides. However, most TFA teachers leave after two years, while Career Ladder teachers usually stay for the long haul.
Forty-five percent of laid-off teachers ranked in the top two quartiles in effectiveness, the study found. All layoffs are based on seniority.
Los Angeles teachers with advanced academic degrees earn more, but are no more effective, the study found. However, "teachers with a National Board Certification outperform other teachers, by roughly two months of additional math instruction and one month of additional ELA instruction over a year." Most board-certified teachers in Los Angeles work in high-performing schools.

The Bible Belt is defined as a region in the nation that is known for strict adherence to biblical traditions and beliefs. However, this presents challenges for many people growing up in the area.
On Tuesday, Oct. 22, Bernadette Barton, Ph.D., professor of sociology and women's studies at Morehead State University, will talk about these challenges, particularly those faced by the gay and lesbian community. Her presentation, "Pray the Gay Away: The Extraordinary Lives of Bible Belt Gays," will focus on these struggles, as highlighted in her book by the same name.
The presentation will be at 7:00 p.m. in room 3125 of Sharp Academic Center on Union's campus. This event is free and open to the public, and a reception with Barton will follow.
Linda Silber, Ph.D., Union College professor of sociology, organized the event for the annual Minorities Day presentation.
"Living in the Bible Belt, a region highly saturated with conservative Christian beliefs and practices, socializes gay men and lesbians to suppress their same-sex attractions, hide them and try to 'pray the gay away,'" said Silber in an email announcing the event. "In this powerful multi-media presentation, including original interview data from lesbians and gay men living in the Bible Belt, video clips and photographs, Barton illustrates the effects of religious-based homophobia on individual lives."
For those interested in reading Barton's book before the presentation, a copy has been placed on reserve in Union college's library. It is available for short periods of use. For more information about the event, contact Silber at 606-546-1314 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
