Say "ramble on" to hard rock aficionados, and you're likely to conjure up the wailing vocals and thundering riffs of the namesake Led Zeppelin song. Or even spark a little air guitar. But an exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery offers a different perspective on this iconic music and other episodes in popular culture.
Myfanwy MacLeod, or There and Back Again features sculpture, painting and photography created over the past decade by Vancouver-based artist Myfanwy MacLeod. Known for her satirical investigations of social power through art that traverses the boundaries of "high" and "low" culture, MacLeod produced several new works specifically for the exhibition. One such work is Ramble On, a 1977 Chevrolet Camaro that has been wrecked, stripped of its engine, and mounted on a "rotisserie" stand. As Grant Arnold, the Vancouver Art Gallery's Audain Curator of British Columbia Art, recently explained to NGC Magazine, Ramble On plays with an image of North American masculinity, presenting the muscle car as if it's a beast being roasted.
But Arnold also points out that the Camaro belonged to MacLeod's brother-in-law, and that she has fond memories of riding in the back while he burned parking-lot donuts in her hometown of London, Ontario. "The work is not about her saying this is patriarchy and that's it," says Arnold, who adds that it's a more complex way of "looking at things that are enmeshed in the larger structures in which gender is formed and plays out in our culture, while not totally dismissing them."

Indeed, Arnold notes that a more overt engagement with questions of gender is something that characterizes several of MacLeod's recent works in the exhibition—from her series of origami sculptures made from images of murdered Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten to the large-scale, wall-mounted series of screen-printed paintings called Stack. The latter is reminiscent of both the minimalist Untitled (Stack) works by sculptor Donald Judd, and the walls of Marshall speaker cabinets once used to produce heavily amplified sound in "cock rock" stadium concerts.
"That kind of combination is fairly specific to Myfanwy's work, where she draws connections between art history and popular culture in a way that gives people who might not have background in art history a point of access to the work," says Arnold. "But as you think more about it, it takes on all these other layers of meaning." The title of the exhibition itself is a reference to the writing of J.R.R. Tolkien (which influenced some of Led Zeppelin's song lyrics), and is meant to evoke a journey that transforms traditional perceptions of the commonplace.

Another new exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery also explores a journey of sorts. Lawren Harris: Canadian Visionary traces Lawren Stewart Harris' (1885–1970) artistic evolution from the early twentieth century to the mid-1960s. Marking the Vancouver Art Gallery's first major solo presentation of Harris works in more than 50 years, the career survey features 137 paintings, oil sketches and drawings by the member of the influential Group of Seven. Highlights include the groundbreaking painting Tamarack Swamp, Algoma—which, according to the exhibition release, "exemplifies how Harris turned a subject that was considered unattractive into a beautiful work of art"—and one of Harris' sketchbooks, on view for the first time.
That sketchbook, as well as other drawings that are available on a related Tumblr site, provide a rare glimpse into Harris' creative process and his then-daring move from representational art to abstraction. As described by Ian Thom, Senior Curator-Historical at the Vancouver Art Gallery, it's a move that made Harris "the pioneer who brought abstraction to Canadian art."

Like any good journey, both exhibitions at the Vancouver Art Gallery offer unforgettable encounters and a few surprises along the way. Lawren Harris: Canadian Visionary is on display until May 4, 2014. Organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery and Museum London, Myfanwy MacLeod, or There and Back Again is on display until June 8, 2014. Visitors can additionally check out Artists's Choice Cock and Bull, an exhibition featuring work from the Vancouver Art Gallery's permanent collection, selected by Myfanwy MacLeod and Grant Arnold.

Cool. So what happened to the queen cell?
Is that a spotty brood pattern?
What are the dark cell in MIDDLE of the brood?
Dave W muses...
Is that a spotty brood pattern?
What are the dark cell in MIDDLE of the brood?>
Not sure why exactly, but it looks like she hesitated to lay in the plastic and the bees stored pollen and honey all over.
Do you think it is something more sinister?
Go here and there is a close-up of the center of the frame posted here and other frame pics.
The side of the frame shown here is to the outside of the brood nest. If you look right below the frame in the pic you can see some of the frame(still in the box) next to the one I am holding. She did a much better job on that one and they did not store as much in the center.
Bullseye asks:
<Cool. So what happened to the queen cell?>
Not sure it was queen cells now. They look open just like before and almost round.
If you go to the web page above, the last frame pic has two next to each other.
Here is a close-up.

Sorry, what does HSC stand for and are those dark cells brood cells?
HSC is a new product available which is a fully formed plastic honeycomb that is a little smaller than what people have been using
the theory is that it will help with the mite problem
it's a grand experiment
read along, you'll be intrigued
welcome to beesource
look here
I viewed the websight photos, GREAT SHOTS!
I am sure (subject to change ) the "bubbles" ARE queen cells.
Some dark cells ARE filled w/ pollen, BUT some appear to be dark larvae. I would double-check and check again. Put a stick in a few, see if they "rope" out. Any larvae that are NOT brilliant white, indicates some kind of problem.
Are any frame sides "fully drawn AND SOLID (w/o missing cells)?
I don't have any pics of mine but it looks about the same
very spotty
I'm guessing it's just going to take a while for them to fully accept it and lay a good pattern
I started 2 packages on it and they seem to be building up just fine
there does seem to be a lot of burr comb between the frames, I think they kinda have a need to draw wax
I have em in 1 medium box now and I'm debating whether to give em another box of HSC or a box of SC foundation
After working with Permacomb for as long as I have, when I see your picture I see a normal looking frame from a newly installed colony. All is fine with your frame of brood.
When a new package or swarm is put onto fully drawn comb the bees are in a reorganizing mode. The foragers are bringing in nectar and pollen for the newly lain eggs and are not quite sure where to put the groceries. It's not like they don't have choices, there are lots of cells already drawn everywhere! What they do know is that they need to put the stores next to the eggs. Sometimes they bring in more than what they need in that area and the pollen is not all used right away. The queen keeps laying, the larva gets capped and their attention goes elsewhere to the larva that needs tending. After a couple of cycles you will notice a more organized area of brood surrounded with the pollen band and honey outside of that.
Those few empty cells that everyone freaks out over calling it Shotgun or Spotty laying pattern is not always a problem with the queen. It could be hygienic behaviour. At any rate when the queen needs to be replaced the bees are likely to take care of the problem or it will be noticeable by you and you will.
As for the queen cells, I see them all the time, bees like to have emergency cups around but I normally see them on the bottom of the frames. If it makes you feel better you can scrape them off, it's ok, they will make more. I look inside them and if I see a larva and royal jelly I pull the frame and another with brood and stores and make a two frame nuc. It's always handy when you need to replace a queen
The cells in your picture are supercedure cells (high or in the center of the frame) and they may have thought that the queen needed replacing, hence the question asking if they finished the queen cells or tore them down.
Dave suggested checking for AFB, but on a newly installed package on clean new plastic comb it would be highly unlikely. I think it is only pollen in those cells.
Bullseye Bill (or anyone)
>Some dark cells ARE filled w/ pollen, BUT some appear to be dark larvae . . .
Why would some cells have dark larvae (in middle of frame)?
>Those few empty cells that everyone freaks out . . .
Well explained
>Some dark cells ARE filled w/ pollen, BUT some appear to be dark larvae . . .
Why would some cells have dark larvae (in middle of frame)?
Dave, are you looking at Flatheads pictures? If you are you have a lot better sight than me. I can't see anything that I can identify as anything other than pollen. Sorry.

- - My own mooring on L.I. Sound? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/100913-my-own-mooring-l-i-sound.html)
My own mooring on L.I. Sound?
I'm new to the north shore of Long Island. (Suffolk County). Waterfront.
Though I have two harbors nearby (Port Jeff and Mt. Sinai) what's the rules about having a mooring in the Sound off my property? It would be a lot more convenient and cheaper, right?
Re: My own mooring on L.I. Sound?
You first have to track down the Harbormaster to get the ball rolling. I will cost an initial $1000 - $1500 so it will be cheaper but more convenient is a matter of opinion.
I have my dinghy right behind my house and my mooring a couple hundred yards away. I may get a slip next year to make it more "convenient" for wife, dogs, friends, etc...
Re: My own mooring on L.I. Sound?
Thx blutoyz...
I'll look into that. i wasn't sure individual moorings were permitted in the sound. Thought we were restricted to harbors or mooring fields.
Re: My own mooring on L.I. Sound?
The problem with putting a mooring in the LI Sound (proper) versus one of it's protected harbors or bays is that one day this summer we will have a tropical storm or even hurricane pass by. In an event like that the Sound can become quite rough and dangerous - which is why you don't see any moorings in the Sound.
Having said that, if you set up a 2nd mooring on the Sound to use in fair weather with a primary mooring in one of the harbors you would be ok. I'm just not sure who or where you would go to get permission to do so.
Likely there is some old salt with a work barge in Mt. Sinai who could tell you which gov't bureau you'd need to petition. He'd probably also tell you you are crazy...
I have seen what 50 knots of wind from a non-named storm can do to the surface of the Sound and it ain't pretty.
My own mooring on L.I. Sound?
Aren't moorings restricted to Coast Guard designated anchorage areas? I also think any boat more than 7 meters which is anchored (or moored) outside a designated area is required to display an anchor light at night.
Re: My own mooring on L.I. Sound?
Thx CalebD...
I also thought that even "fair weather moorings" in the sound would be frowned upon since, as you point out, they are subject to storms and movement and can pose a significant hazard to boaters who wouldn't expect them to show up where they do sometimes.
Or am I being too cautious?
Re: My own mooring on L.I. Sound?
There is a dec application
Then you probably should clear it with your town....... maybe. I know some will say to ask for permission, and some will say ask for forgiveness. Only you know which way floats your boat.
Good luck and I hope you get it and post back here how it went.
Re: My own mooring on L.I. Sound?
You definitely don't want to keep a boat of any significant size or value on a mooring in the sound (as opposed to a harbor). When we get wind from the north or east the waves can get pretty large and nasty. There are some private moorings just east of Mt. Sinai, so they definitely exist, but I have never seen boats on them full time. Two years ago I got yelled at by a homeowner because I had the nerve to anchor off 'his' beach while my kids and I went swimming and had lunch. First he yelled because I was on his mooring. I pointed out that I was anchored. Then he yelled that I was on 'his' beach. I pointed out that he didn't own the water, or the land below the high tide mark. The rest if another story.
If I were you I would pick Mt. Sinai or Port Jeff. Personally I like Mt. Sinai because it takes just 5 minutes to get from mooring to sound. For a town resident the fee is around $120. You can get mooring tackle from Old Mans or Ralph's Fishing station.
Good luck,
Re: My own mooring on L.I. Sound?
My sister used to live on Lloyd Neck and a neighbor (retired professional hockey player) kept a fair weather mooring for his motor boat on the Sound. He also had a safe mooring in the harbor. He also had one of the few docks that stuck out into the Sound but TS Ernesto took out the floating dock sections.
I don't know if the hockey player just payed (whomever) for the privilege or just payed the fines.
I'd follow Sal's link to NYS dec.
Or, you could just put a mooring where you want it and see what happens (but be ready to ask forgiveness & pay some fine).
Re: My own mooring on L.I. Sound?
1. The Sound gets too rough.
2. It would probably be a hazard to other boats in a place where boats move at full speed
3. Someone would certainly steal it or the boat or both
4. Lobstermen or draggers would cut it off
Other than that, it's a good idea.:)

"Glee" cast members will be recording public service announcements to air after the third episode of the new season, which will deal with the exit of Finn Hudson, the character that was played by the late Cory Monteith.
"Ryan [Murphy] himself is going to shoot some PSAs with the cast in which, as cast members, as friends of his, they're going to speak directly to the audience," Fox Chairman of Entertainment Kevin Reilly told reporters on Thursday at the Television Critics Association Summer Tour in Beverly Hills.
Cory died last month in Vancouver. His death was ruled to be the result of a "mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol," according to autopsy and toxicological analysis conducted by the coroner.
PHOTOS: Cory Monteith & Lea Michele
On Thursday, the Fox boss said he thinks the PSAs will be powerful.
"I think they're gonna be very, very impactful," he said. "And my hope is that the good... that we talked about at Cory's service last week, which was both a celebration and incredibly sad of this really vibrant young kid, what we all said, what everybody knows is... you see some people struggling with addiction [and]... they're very easily put into a category, 'Oh, he was dark, oh, she was always a partier.' Cory was a big open wonderful life force," Reilly said of the late star, who was 31. "He was not a problem. Everybody loved him. He didn't look like that. He looked straight as an arrow.
PHOTOS: Cory Monteith: A Look Back
"It was not an intentional thing, it was an accident that happened to somebody struggling with an addiction and I think that's hopefully what'll come of this, of illuminating that particular kind of addiction," Reilly continued. "So that's what Ryan will be doing in the show."
Reilly said the third episode of the show, "will deal with the direct incidents involved in Cory's passing, and the drug abuse in particular."
Asked by one reporter if that meant the character of Finn would die as a result of drug use, Reilly said, "No, I can't confirm that at all."
"We're gonna speak to that in the PSAs," he added. "We're gonna also donate the proceeds from our music sales in that episode to start a little fund for Cory, in addition to other efforts we're doing."
PHOTOS: Stars Who Died Too Soon
Reilly also praised Lea Michele, Cory's girlfriend, calling her, "a pillar of strength through all of this."
"She was the first one to say, 'I want to get back to work,'" Reilly noted.
The Season 5 premiere of "Glee" was pushed from September 19 to September 26.

Project is not dense enough or land is too steep
Project on Indiana St. on edge of Florida Canyon opposed by neighbors
Dorian Hargrove 9:31 p.m., May 23
Sigh. Just in case you still had hopes that the relationship between the Kiddie-Borg - er, Disney - and Pixar would somehow allow the latter to avoid being "seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil," I will report seeing this before last night's screening of Green Lantern:
Never mind the sequels, we've got the tie-ins! Insurance, auto parts - hell, maybe even a Lightning McQueen coupe from Chevy! Why, the commercial possibilities are endless!
Oh, you say they've been doing this for a while now?
Never mind, then. I'm just amazed that Ratatouille even got made - it was, after all, a film that openly attacked the idea of merchandising an artist into oblivion:
Yes, yes, I suppose it's possible that they're going for a Spielberg vibe - for every Amistad, a Jurassic Park, etc. - but you know what?

When someone decides to enter the nursing profession, it means they choose to help people who are in need. However, the roles and responsibilities of nurses today are growing within the healthcare system. Will this impact the importance of nurses in the community?
Here is an anecdote that helped answer that question for me:
As I was leaving the hospital recently after a late day of meetings, crossing the parking deck coming in my direction was an elderly man with a very tired look on his face. Under his right arm was a long cardboard box with the words 1-800-flowers on the side.
In that moment, I was struck by the humanity and personal challenges that all of our patients and their loved ones face. This gentleman was visiting someone he loved, perhaps a wife, perhaps an older child, perhaps a sibling. But regardless, the look on his face was one of concern and sorrow. As I passed him, I said hello and wished him a good day. He gave me a little smile which quickly dissolved as he headed toward the front entrance of the hospital.
Breaking Free from the Routine
I realized at that point how much of our work becomes just our routine work, how much of the pain and sorrow becomes routine. I felt somewhat guilty that I was leaving the hospital to teach an aerobics class and then spend the rest of my evening with my family, while others suffered so much.
I also realized the worth of nurses to the community. We are the human component in the healthcare delivery system, uniquely prepared to reach out to those in need. We fill the void of human caring created by clinical environments. We, as nurses, can never let go of that awesome responsibility that we share.
As the most trusted profession in the world, it is our calling to be there for those in pain and suffering, those in fear and those that are moving on to worlds beyond us. It struck me that it is also critically important that we, as nurses, never allow ourselves to become hardened to those who need us so much. What a waste it would be to miss an opportunity to emotionally be in the moment and reach out and help those we serve.
A Nurse's Responsibility
Take a moment to reflect on your role as a nurse and the importance you play in the community. Relive those special moments when you realized a difference and the satisfaction that you felt knowing you were able to help. It is an honor and a privilege to serve in the capacity that we do and to possess the skills that are so uniquely nursing.
We may have times that we are tired, drained, frustrated and disillusioned with our profession, but the greater good of what we do and who we serve far outweighs the episodic challenges. I am grateful every day that I am a nurse. Despite the challenges, I would never want to go through life as anything else. As part of the nursing community, let us value our existence to make a difference in our patients.

There was an old post regarding cabinet hives / bee-houses. Well I have found some links and even some plans. I have also e-mailed a number of German beekeepers and found some interesting information. The cabinet hives in the pictures were last made in 1990. You can find some for sales along with straw hives at www.ebay.de. Use this link to translate the web site to English. http://babelfish.altavista.com Here are the links:
Here is a portion of an e-mail that I received about the next hives.
ÂYes I know about those hives. In Germany tey are called "Blätterbeute" or
translated something like "Hive for back-treatment".
I think you will not be able to by one nowadays because ist a very ancient
My Grandfather used them but switched to Zander in 1960. In Germany most
often the "Zander"-System ist used.Â
I did find a German beekeeping supply house that sold cabinet style hive. I lost the link and have been unable to find it. The hives were like storage cabinets. Stack a couple of brood boxes and supper on top of each other and make the side of the hive one big door and that is what they would look like.
I did purchase ÂAn Introduction to Bee-houses from a British bee supply house, but was disappointed in it.

Forskolin Side Effects: What You Need to Know
Are there any Forskolin side effects that you need to know? The revolutionary natural supplement helps to burn fat and build lean muscle, but at what cost? Is it safe to take and is it healthy?
Forskolin extract supplements are safe and effective when the quality of the product meets the standards set in the industry. When the product is made of 100% natural ingredients and containing at least 10% pure extract concentration, then yes, it is completely safe.
No reports of clinical side effects have ever been reported. However, because of the nature of the extract as a blood vessel relaxant, those who may be suffering from low pressure levels may experience hypotension – with symptoms that include dizziness, fainting, nausea, pale skin, fatigue, and even blurred vision. If you are currently taking blood pressure medication, Forskolin can also interact with its chemicals, so it's best you avoid taking the supplement.
When Forskolin supplements meet the requirements of a high quality product, side effects are minimum or don't occur at all. Thus, you must always make sure that when you buy a certain weight loss product, you must know what to look for to protect yourself from possible side effects.
Forskolin: An Overview
The extract is derived from the roots of the plant called Coleus Forskohlii, with the scientific name Plectranthus Barbatus. It is used in Ayurvedic medicine, and is found in a number of modern pharmaceutical drugs. Forskolin is a common ingredient in medicine for high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, asthma, and even skin disorders.
Scientific studies on the effect of the extract on the body reveal that it has a surprising effect on an individual's weight. Promising results of clinical studies led to the very first Forskolin extract to be produced for weight loss.
The Benefits of Taking the Extract
The supplement has become popular with the bodybuilding community because the extract naturally has the ability to increase testosterone levels, which coincidentally, helps the body develop more lean muscle mass at a much faster pace.
Most weight loss supplements available in the market only target weight loss and fat loss, but not muscle gain. Though you do lose weight with other supplements, your body isn't lean and healthy – you're simply slim.
Forskolin takes it up a notch by burning fat, helping you lose excess weight, and building more lean muscle so the result is a leaner and slimmer you and not just a thinner you.
How it Works
Scientific studies on the extract show that it has the natural ability to activate the enzyme the called adenylate cyclase, which is responsible for a number of different cellular and biological functions in the body. One of these is increasing production of cAMP or otherwise known as cyclic adenosine monophosphate, which in turn, stimulates the production of more thyroid hormones that help to boost metabolism.
By increasing your body's levels of thyroid hormones, your body then has the ability to burn calories more efficiently and at a much rapid rate. The extract uses your body's abilities to burn fat and build muscle, which are all done in the most natural way possible – with little to zero side effects.

We asked two leading bartenders to reveal their methods for making crystal clear block ice.
Jack McGarry is formerly of The Merchant Hotel in Belfast, where he gained a name for the quality of his ice as well as his cocktails; he has also worked at Milk & Honey in London and is currently working for London cocktail supremos Nick Strangeway and Henry Besant.
Erik Lorincz is head bartender at The Savoy Hotel in London, outgoing Diageo World Class Global Champion 2010 - and renowned for transporting block ice around the world for competitions.
Boston's "Ice King" Frederic Tudor is widely credited for being the man responsible for the first business involving the commercial distribution of harvested ice from lakes in New England. He began the long and arduous process on the 10th February 1806 and his development and refinement of the harvesting process enabled shipments to the most of America, the Caribbean, Europe and as far away as India.
By the 1840s Tudor's ice was all over the world. The accessibility and quality of ice initiated a massive transformation in drinking trends across the world. Ice become integral to any bar operator and the importance of ice led to another major change in the type, quality and availability of ice: the ice machine. Ice machines began to be developed during the 1850s, when men such as John Gorrie and Alexander Twining created and patented their own equipment.
The development of ice machines was crucial in spreading the culture of cold drinks. Today, although there remain a plethora of poor quality ice machines that turn out fast-melting, wet 'bullet'-style ice, there are some good machines on the market and it is quite possible to produce denser, drier ice cubes relatively cheaply.
Cube or block?
However, amid the climate of constant premiumisation and the need for the best bars to differentiate all levels of their service, the quality of ice that bars serve has become just as important as the quality of their spirits, juices or mixers, and has a bearing on the presentation of finished drinks equal to the choice of glassware. Cubed ice just doesn't cut it these days at the top level.
In most cases cubed ice is brittle, and contains impurities which are reflected in the cloudiness of the cubes. Cubed ice generally also has a high surface area which the liquid has to interact with, resulting in a high heat exchange and excessive dilution. In my opinion, it results in insipid and 'flat' drinks.
The result? Something of a return to the days of the Ice King himself, with block ice enjoying a massive resurgence. It is firm and rigid, free of most impurities, crystal clear and, most importantly, has a low surface area. Low surface areas decrease the area of which the liquid has to interact with and as a result lowers the heat exchange, lessening dilution. This results in drinks having longevity and fullness. I once recall Audrey Saunders calling ice "the soul of the drink". I couldn't agree more with that sentiment: block ice in my opinion completes a drink.
The perfect block ice
Of course, you can buy block ice from commercial suppliers readily nowadays, but during my time at The Merchant Hotel we became captivated by ice and how to make it perfectly ourselves. This led to many painful moments and it took us nearly five years to get it to the standard we wanted. We experimented with different types of water, freezer and freezing containers; with twice-frozen methods and methods to manipulate the air bubbles and impurities. Here are our conclusions.
Type of water- When we originally started out we employed the use of Fijian water which was said to have a low mineral content and to be very pure. We also then began to try distilled water which again was said to have very low mineral content and was very neutral. We even used twice boiled water - but realised in the end that regular tap water worked just as well.
Type of freezer- The best freezer to use when making ice is a chest freezer. The reason why is due to the fact the freezing element of the chest freezer is located at the bottom of the freezer which enables it to have a steady temperature even when the door is left open. Household freezers on the other hand have this element located at the back of the freezer and every time this is left open the cold air quickly escapes. These inconsistencies have dramatic results of the ice. Constant temperatures provide the optimum conditions for good structure which give you that "firm and rigid" ice.
Types of freezing containers- To put it simply: 'the bigger the better'. We used to use shallow containers which resulted in horrible cloudy ice, but then discovered that half-filling a much larger container gives water the best chance to make great ice. Ice freezes in layers and not all at once, so if you use a shallow ice container you aren't giving the mineral content any chance to escape, however with a much larger container the minerals are forced upwards. The minerals are the last part to freeze. When stacking containers on top of one another in a chest freezer it is also essential to leave room for air between each stacked container, or the water in the underlying containers will not freeze.
Other methods- We also tried to use air circulation systems - such as an electric fish tank pump - to develop the previous method and try to get the mineral content of the ice to freeze last, which we would be able to simply saw off. However we found this method needed constant supervision: the main issue was the adjustment of the pipe which constantly needed to be moved upwards to move the minerals to the next freezing level. In a busy bar this is simply not workable. We also tried using the Stanislav Vardnra method which was to line the inside of the freezer with insulating foam, which in turn slows down the freezing process and gives the ice a more relaxed and calm environment to develop. This creates great ice but it took almost four days to make, which again didn't meet our demands as it had to be more efficient.
In reality many of these variables work in conjunction with one another to produce great ice: good water, a chest freezer, large freezing containers and the appropriate amount of time to freeze, which was generally two days at -27 degrees. After two days freezing at this temperature all the potentially cloudy elements were still in water trapped in the middle of the block. We simply drained this water and then started the process of shaping our ice to our liking. The secret was simply to catch the particles before the block had fully frozen and scoop them out.
Many people have tried other methods to produce clear ice, including playing Jay Z 's "99 Problems" beside the ice (yeah, me neither) and I've even heard someone suggest placing vibrators inside the chest freezer. In my opinion, if you follow the way we did it at The Merchant you won't be disappointed.
The first time I came across bartenders creating and using crystal clear ice for mixing and serving cocktails was in Japan. It looked stunning and was a really dramatic addition to bartending - another example that proved my Japanese hosts were really thinking about every aspect of their craft. When I returned to the UK I wanted to recreate a similar started experimenting intending to create the purest ice possible, but it was harder than I thought and the final effect just wasn't right.
My first steps were using boiled water and mineral water, freezing them in small food containers. The final effect just wasn't right with either - the ice was cloudy and full of air bubbles, which made the ice very soft and easy to crack - not what you want if you want to shape ice for a particular glass or to create intricate shapes or spheres.
Melt water
I also tried collecting the melted water from the crystal clear ice blocks that are often supplied to bars, attempting to refreeze it, but again, the ice just became cloudy. It was then that I realised that the magic lay in the method of freezing rather than the water source you start with.
I came across the solution by chance. One day I was hosting a large party at home and knew that the food containers I had been experimenting with wouldn't produce enough ice. So I decided to clear a whole draw in my freezer of food, filled it up with tap water to the top and put it back in the freezer - though not before covering with cling film to avoid the water turning to vapour or becoming snow inside my freezer. After three days about 60 percent of the ice block I created crystal clear and very solid, perfect for cocktails.
I wanted to improve on this though, as my method was not exactly rocket science. The next step was to perfect a slow-freezing process. I figured that if the water is frozen more slowly, air bubbles would travel to the more liquid parts of the water before they froze, rather than trapping them in the ice because the whole thing freezes too fast. To encourage the bubbles to the bottom, I insulated the contained around the sides and bottom, meaning that the surface would freeze first and then the ice would form from the top to the bottom. Using this method I came up with mostly crystal clear, very solid ice.
Transporting ice across the globe
Another advantage of creating crystal clear ice is that it melts more slowly precisely because it does not have as much air in it. In fact, it stays frozen for so long that I have taken to travelling long distances with my own ice block - including to last year's World Class finals in Athens, and even to Kentucky for a cocktail competition - long haul flights aren't really a problem as the temperature is obviously very low in the hold at 36,000 feet. What I do is wrap a 2kg ice block in bubble wrap, aluminium foil and cling film, and transport it in an insulated food bag. Ice stored in this condition can last more than a day without turning into water - though you will probably need to clear out your hotel mini bar when you arrive to make space for it.

A 1/4 mile into my run Saturday, I almost turned around. I just wasn't feeling it. I couldn't find my rhythm. Every song on my iPod was annoying. I was tired from the 9.3 miles I'd run two days before at the Turkey Trot, and slightly sore from all the stupid squats in my last weight workout.
But, I've been running long enough to know that you'll have that. Crappy runs just happen. I pressed on and told my whiny brain that we'd only do 3. At 3, I upped it to 4 and by 4, well…screw it, may as well just do the 5, which is a respectable distance.
At the one-mile mark I passed an enormous dead racoon. Roadkill makes me sad and I always worry that they are still alive and I'll have to see them suffer as I run by (because what am I going to do, get a rock and beat it to death?). Thankfully, the giant racoon appeared to be really dead. I didn't look all that closely but I was running an out-and-back, so I had a second (brief) look at the poor critter on my way back home and he hadn't moved an inch.
When I got to the edge of our yard, I took out my earbuds and started walking, thankful to be done.
Kelly was standing on the porch in running tights waiting for me.
With Dan deep in deer-camp preparations, I knew he wasn't going running with her even though this new training plan was all his idea. Riding Kelly's post-race wave of Turkey Trot 5K enthusiasm, he talked her into training for the ERC's New Year's Day race — a five miler.
We still haven't given up on turning our kids into runners, though we've learned not to force it. I figured she'd balk and bail on the whole idea when it came time to actually go run without the encouragement and excitement of a race environment. But, there she was ready and waiting to run with me.
As she ran back in the house to get gloves, Dan said, "How was your run?"
"Sucked. I was glad to be done and now… You're killing me, man."
"Hey, she wants to go…"
"How many?"
He holds up two fingers to indicate 2 miles.
"Let her set the pace. You just have to help her keep it," he says.
When she returns, I put on my biggest smile and tell my sniveling brain to suck it up.
"To the dead racoon!" I yell.
What's two more miles?
If I'm lucky, it's the start of many more mother-daughter miles.

The Eastside YMCA is hosting a mud run for kids. The Run-A-Muck obstacle event is scheduled for Saturday, May 24 at 10 a.m.
Three levels of participation—hard, moderate, and easy—will make it challenging for kids from ages 4 to 13. The 1.5 mile course includes 15 obstacles.
Don't forget your camera: Spectators will be able to view the kids from designated locations throughout the course.
Like any good mud run, there's a party at the finish line, complete with music and "mud pies." But…never fear, parents, there's a clean-up station where the kids can hose off before getting back into your nice, clean car. (But you may want to have the kids bring a towel & change of clothes.)
Registration deadline to be guaranteed a shirt is April 30. Cost is $20 for YMCA members and $30 for nonmembers. Race day registration is available, but it's $30 for all and does not include a t-shirt.
My daughters did this race last year and it was fun…though they had some bugs to work out, but that is often the case with first time events. No doubt they've worked those bugs out for this year's event. It won't be their first rodeo.
Registration form here.

Mari Howells, center, and her daughters, Sofia & Elizabeth Viebranz.
Mari Howells, of Millcreek, has run the ERC Mother's Day run with her two daughters, Sofia and Elizabeth Viebranz, for the last four years, staring when Elizabeth was just 9 years old.
"The 1st one in 2010 was so miserable–cold and very windy," Mari said. "Luckily, my husband had gloves in his car for our 9-year old, Elizabeth. It was her first race, and she was very pretty cold and unhappy. It took her 55 minutes."
Mari says their times have improved since that first race and Elizabeth was not deterred by that first miserable run.
"She insists we run the Mother's Day Race every year, as a tradition," Mari said.
I did a little Q&A with Mari in hopes of inspiring other mother runners to get their brood out there this Sunday morning:
Family: Husband, Gary Viebranz; Daughters, Sofia Viebranz, 14, and Elizabeth Viebranz, 12.
Do your daughters normally run? Do you?
We are "situational" runners. If we have a race coming up, we try to run so we don't make complete fools of ourselves. I also go to the Y every week with my mom, and I run the track there. She's 88. I'm trying to get her to walk a race with me, but she won't. Sofia was on the cross country team at J.S. Wilson for 3 years, and Elizabeth was on the team this past fall.
Honestly, if I didn't have kids, I wouldn't run at all. The only reason I do run is because Sofia joined the cross country team in 6th grade and she insisted that we run the Turkey Trot together in 2009. I was over 40, and I had never run anywhere in my life. Needless to say, I was extremely sore the whole weekend, but we kept up with a few races every year, starting with the Mother's Day run, and we dragged Elizabeth along that year.
Do you run the race or walk…..or do you kinda do both (run/walk)?
I slowly run the whole race, although there's usually a voice in my head telling me to walk at around the 2-mile mark.
Who likes to do this the most…you or the girls?
I think I like it most. I enjoy being around the variety of runners, and the happy camaraderie that you see during a race.
What do you enjoy about the ERC's Mother's Day race?
I love the fact that we have a healthy, fun, inexpensive Mother's Day tradition. It's a great excuse to get out and get moving. Since we live in Erie, I can't say that the weather is nice every year, but the odds of good weather are in our favor. People are always in a good mood at the race, and the happiness is infectious.
What do the girls enjoy most about it?
They both told me they like the finish most of all. I think they gave chocolate at the finish one year, so that was especially popular with the girls.
Most memorable moment at any of the ERC Mother's Day races you've done?
The first one in 2010 was memorable for the weather. As I recall, it was miserable—cold, windy and rainy.
The past two Mother's Day runs, my brother and his family have come from Cleveland to run. It's always more fun when there's a group running and cheering you at the finish. They give me a hard time because I'm slower than my brother and his kids—my nephew Aidan finished 3rd overall last year!
Why should other moms & kids do this race?
Even though getting up early and running at Presque Isle doesn't sound like fun to many of us, it's actually a good time. Plus, if you go to a restaurant later, you can justify dessert because you ran or walked a 5K.
What do you do after the race? What's your Mother's Day tradition in your family?
We go to Panera's after every race.
Best parenting advice you ever received…and from whom?
When I was pregnant with my first child, the Lamaze teacher said something to the class that's stuck with me—"Whatever age my kids are, that's my favorite age." I find that to be true for me. I can look back fondly at the baby years and the elementary school years, but right now, with my kids being 12 and 14, is my favorite age for my kids.

Erie ~ Yesterday, the Erie County Department of Health & VisitErie have put together a fun program to get people moving (kids, too!) this summer. Let's Move Outside! encourages area residents to get outside and explore 10 trails throughout Erie County.
"It's an innovative program promoting healthy living and physical activity through the use of public art, local history and outdoor recreation."
It works like this: You register at www.letsmoveoutside.org. Then, you walk, run or bike the 10 trails and find the artist-designed marker along the trail. Write the ten-digit pass key you'll find on the marker into your passport (don't forget a pencil/pen). Log on & enter the passkey as you complete each trail. When you do all 10, you'll be automatically registered for a grand prize (including a mountain bike).
The program runs June 1 through October 20 and the trail locations range from Corry to North East to Girard and Union City, among others.
The Lets Move Outdoors passport gives you all the details you need — the trail location, distance, history and more.
Passports are available at: Erie County's Public Libraries, the YMCA of Greater Erie and its branches, the Tom Ridge Environmental Center, VisitErie, Erie Yesterday's member historical societies and museums, and the offices of Harborcreek Township, Fairview Township, North East Chamber of Commerce, Corry Area Chamber of Commerce, Asbury Woods Nature Center, Girard Borough and Washington Township.
Complete rules & more info here. (They have a Facebook page, too.)
I hope you'll all support this really cool effort to promote physical activity in an entertaining & educational way.
Kids would love to do this — looking for markers, discovering the codes, etc. It would be a great summer adventure for families or grandparents!

Lisa Thompson at the Erie Times-News did a nice feature story on a new running program that Erie County Juvenile Court has launched for at-risk kids.
Judge John Trucilla, together with members of Erie County Juvenile Probation, launched the running program early this winter. It was inspired by exercise programs for offenders elsewhere.
Trucilla, who has worked with juveniles steadily since taking the bench in 2001, said he is always looking for new ways to help children succeed.
Unlike sports like basketball or football, anybody can run, said Trucilla, the administrative head of Family and Orphans Court.
In addition to the obvious physical benefit, the sport can be a metaphor for life, he said.
"You have ups and downs. You have good days and bad days. If you keep moving forward, you are going to get to your goal," he said.
"These are kids who do not have a lot of successful things in their lives. We are trying to make kids be successful and positive," said Robert Blakely, chief juvenile probation officer.
A running program also seemed a particularly good fit for Erie because so many court staff members, including Trucilla, a triathlete, are veteran long-distance runners.
Probation officers Dino Montagna, a marathoner, and Shannon Dylewski, supervise the thrice-weekly sessions with five other officers. Many of the local races they are targeting, like the Law Day race, are organized around issues central to Juvenile Probation programs.
Seven youths from this program are planning to run together in their first-ever 5K run/walk at Sunday's "March Forth Against Crime," a race benefiting the Crime Victims Center in Erie.
Read the whole story here.
I have no doubt this program can have a powerful influence in these young peoples' lives. Running changes everything. Once you do what you never thought you could….well, then, there's nothing you can't do.
"Out on the roads there is fitness and self-discovery and the persons we were destined to be."
–Dr. George Sheehan

Because I don't talk about myself or my family NEARLY enough on this blog, allow me to shamelessly link you to Rhonda Berlin's Kids Running Wild blog where she featured each of my little runners this week: Kelly and Lauren.
The girls' school started an XC team for the 3rd & 4th grade this year thanks to the efforts of one dedicated XC mom — Tamara Smith — who worked her butt off to make it happen.
Coach Smith at the XC wrap-up party on Saturday
Tamara's son, Brock, is a natural runner who ran for the St. Boniface XC team, but when they decided to switch from St. Boniface to Wattsburg this year, Tamara realized there was no XC team, so she tirelessly jumped through hoops and broke through red tape to start one.
Practices started in the late summer before school started and 23 kids showed up. There were kids of all abilities — naturals like Brock, a sub-7-minute-miler, and not-so-naturals who tried really hard — like both of my girls. (OK, Lauren COULD be a natural, but she's far too social to really care about speed…she's got people to talk to, butterflies to chase…)
Twice a week, the kids ran with Tamara and a few volunteer parents, including Dan, after school.
They had meets on Saturdays in September and October. There were a total of 4 or 5 meets around Erie county.
The meets were very cool because all the parents cheered for all the kids. And, the fastest kids came back and cheered for their slower teammates. It was competitive, sure, but not nearly on the level that team sports are.
Kelly didn't love the meets. She's a typical first-born. She wants to win.
I told her that every person who goes the distance wins. It doesn't matter how long it takes you to run the course— it matters only that you finish it.

Bite Beauty claims this oil-based lip primer can "retain long-term color" and "prevent feathering" while "nourishing lips." This lightly moisturizing formula helps smooth out any flakiness, but we found it only minimally effective at preventing lip color from bleeding and at retaining pigmentation. In fact, it imparts a subtle white cast, so whatever shade you apply over it will be slightly muted.
Furthermore, the minty, tingling sensation caused by peppermint oil is an indicator that this lip primer is causing irritation, so any nourishing properties that it has are at least somewhat negated and, at the worst, can cause chapped lips.
Bite Beauty also makes a big deal about this being a natural formula (which is debatable), but what good is "natural" if the product doesn't perform and if it hurts the lips more than it helps?
Line & Define Lip Primer comes in a retractable stick form with a built-in sharpener so you can refine the point as needed. Given its drawbacks, however, we suggest passing on this one.
Strengths: Richly pigmented Cashmere Lip Cream; several beautiful lip color options; a couple balm-like products to soothe chapped lips; good lip exfoliant; the bulk of the formulas contain natural ingredients that are beneficial (or at least not harmful) for the skin and lips.
Weaknesses: Cinnamon Plumping Lip Oil is extremely irritating; some of the lip colors tend to bleed; flavored formulas are tempting to lick off, which can lead to chapping and dryness; not all their ingredients are natural, many products contain synthetic coloring agents Bite Beauty is a Canadian-based cosmetics company centered on lip-care and lip-color products formulated with natural ingredients. Although the "natural" spin is attractive to some consumers, it doesn't necessarily translate into better or safer cosmetics (read this article for more info).
As a nice change of pace (and as mentioned above), the majority of Bite Beauty's formulas do indeed contain natural ingredients that are beneficial (or at least not harmful) for the skin and lips. The exception is the Cinnamon Plumping Lip Oil, which contains an irritating amount of peppermint oil. The preponderance of natural ingredients doesn't make these products inherently better, but if a product being "all" natural is important to you, then you should know that some of the Bite Beauty products contain synthetic coloring agents.
Bite Beauty takes things even further, saying that their products are "healthy enough to eat" (hence the name Bite Beauty). We certainly don't recommend eating your cosmetics; just because an ingredient comes from a natural source and is then formulated into a cosmetic doesn't mean it's edible!
As a matter of fact, Bite Beauty's naturally flavored products make it tempting to lick your lips, which in the long run can lead to chapping and a cycle of constantly applying more flavored lip balm, licking it off, then feeling the urgent need to apply more—and none of these lip products should be eaten. For vegans, you should be aware that some of these products contain lanolin, which is an animal-derived ingredient. There's nothing wrong with lanolin, but a cosmetics company selling their products as edible should be more forthcoming with this issue for those who wish to avoid animal-derived ingredients.
Another big marketing ploy is Bite Beauty's claims about their products containing the antioxidant resveratrol, in amounts equivalent to five, ten, or fifteen glasses of red wine, depending on the particular product. This is a meaningless claim, and here's why: First, we hope they don't mean a dual benefit; that is, being able to eat your lipstick and get resveratrol onto your lips and into your body. Second, while resveratrol is a great antioxidant, how much you need to gain a health benefit is unclear from the research. Third, the amount of resveratrol in an average glass of red wine ranges from 0.2 to 2.0 mg, which isn't much. Plus, if you want resveratrol, you can buy resveratrol supplements that contain 100–500 mg per capsule!
In short, resveratrol is a good antioxidant, when applied topically or when consumed; just don't get caught up in thinking it will work wonders for your lips. Clearly, Bite Beauty is capitalizing on a buzz ingredient here—and skin care, especially for the lips, is never as simple as one ingredient, however good it may be.
Those issues aside, in terms of performance, Bite Beauty does have some standout products, including their richly pigmented Cashmere Lip Cream. The price point is on the high end for lip care (you can find less expensive options on our Best Lip Products list); you certainly don't have to pay this much to get a good lipstick or gloss. However, if the price isn't an issue for you, and you find the allure of natural ingredients hard to resist, then this line is worth checking out.
Bite Beauty is sold exclusively at Sephora; the brand also has a flagship store in New York.

There are some concert experiences I walk away from feeling somewhat underwhelmed. And there are some that have me checking my iPhone to see where the tour goes next so I could see another show. Thursday's "Heartbreaker Tour," featuring recently inducted Rock And Roll Hall of Famers Heart, along with Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience, was absolutely the latter.
From the word go, this Gexa Energy Pavilion show was absolutely flawless. Jason Bonham, son of late Led Zep drummer John Bonham, and his band took the stage first and played eight Zeppelin classics, including "Rock and Roll," "Black Dog," and "Whole Lotta Love" during a 50-minute set. Of course, Bonham was spectacular behind the drum kit, but lead singer James Dylan was spot-on when it came to the unenviable task of belting out tunes Robert Plant made famous.
And then it was time for Heart. I can't emphasize enough just how amazing this band is live. I had only seen Heart once before Thursday night — and that was as an opening act. Let's just say I plan to make up for lost time each time Heart rolls through town in the future. Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson looked and sounded spectacular. If I didn't know any better, I would have sworn I was listening to the band play live in its 1970s hey day, Then again, I can't imagine that being better than what the first ladies of rock and roll threw down on Thursday.
Right off the bat, Heart hit the crowd with "Barracuda," "Heartless," What About Love," and "Magic Man." The band mostly stuck to the classics during the 13-song main set. "Dog and Butterfly" and "Alone" were absolutely sublime. Ann Wilson has such an incredible voice. And the entire band brought its "A Game" for an unseasonable comfortable night outside.
As if that wasn't enough, the six-song encore consisted of Heart doing all Led Zeppelin songs. After Ann and Nancy went to the stage extension into the crowd to start things off with an acoustic "Battle of Evermore," Bonham and band members came back out to play the rest of the show, which included "Misty Mountain Hop," "Immigrant Song," "The Rain Song," "Kashmir," and, of course, "Stairway to Heaven," Hearing Led Zeppelin songs with a female singer was pretty cool. And the last time I saw Heart, the band played "Going to California."
This was a show I would have kicked myself for missing. It's right up there with my favorites this year. Very impressive stuff.

wikiHow to Fix DNS Server Not Responding Problem
Three Parts:Verifying Your ConnectionTroubleshooting the ComputerTroubleshooting the RouterCommunity Q&A
Are you running into DNS errors when you try to load a website or connect to your network? The Domain Name Server (DNS) is a server that translates website's addresses so that your browser can connect to them. Occasionally, you can lose connection to the server, through either corrupt settings or problems on the server's end. If you are having difficulties connecting, see Step 1 below to learn how to troubleshoot your problems.
Part 1
Verifying Your Connection
1Connect another device to the network. Before you begin trying to solve the issue, it will help to know where the issue is occurring. You can narrow down the problem by performing a few quick tests. Connect another device to your router, either wired or wirelessly.
- You can use another computer, or a smartphone or tablet. Anything that accesses the internet will work to test.
2Try to access a webpage from the second device. If you are still receiving DNS errors, then the problem lies in your router or with your ISP. If you can connect to the website, then the problem is coming from the first computer.
3Power cycle your modem and router. Unplug your modem's power cable as well as your router's power cable. Allow them to sit unpowered for at least 30 seconds so that any residual charge is released and the memory is cleared. Reconnect your modem, and wait for it to fully connect. After it has powered on completely, reconnect the power cable to your router and allow it to boot up. This could take up to a minute.
- Once you have power cycled both devices, try connecting to a website again. If the problem still persists, move on to the next section.
4If you're using a mobile device you can go to >settings>mobile data and reset the configurations.
Part 2
Troubleshooting the Computer
1Try a different browser. This is one of the quickest ways to test your DNS connections. Download a different free browser such as Firefox or Chrome and attempt to connect to the internet. If the issues persist, then the problem is likely not with the browser, but with some other setting on the computer.
- If the issues are resolved, then you can try troubleshooting your old browser. Oftentimes the issue stems from the proxy settings. Follow this guide to access the proxy settings for the browser you use, and be sure to set them back to Automatic.
2Disable any extra connections. Occasionally, Windows will install extra connections that you won't normally use. For best connectivity, you should only have the connections that you use regularly enabled. To open your Network Connections window, click the Start menu or press the ⊞ Win button and search for "ncpa.cpl".
- Look for extra connections. You should see a list of all your connections. The most common cause for DNS issues is the existence of "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter". IF you see this, right-click it and select "Disable".[1]
- Test your connection again. Wait a few moments and then open your browser again. Try to visit a website. The DNS may take a few moments to load, but if the webpage appears then the problem has been solved. If not, move on to the next step.
3Flush your DNS. Sometimes your DNS cache gets outdated and needs to be manually flushed. This can be done from the Command Prompt.
- To open the Command Prompt, press ⊞ Win+R and type cmd.
- Type ipconfig /flushdns. Wait for the command to process and then restart your computer.
- Test the connection again. If the problem still persists, move on to the next step.
4Change your DNS server. You can manually enter an alternative DNS server to attempt to connect to instead. To do so, open the "ncpa.cpl" window again and right-click on your active connection. Select "Properties".[2]
- In the Networking tab, scroll down until you find the "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" entry. Click it to select it and then click the Properties button.
- Click the "Use the following DNS server addresses" option.
- Enter 188.8.131.52 into the "Preferred DNS server" field
- Enter 220.127.116.11 into the "Alternate DNS server" field.
- These are DNS servers maintained by OpenDNS, an open-source DNS service.
5Try connecting in Safe Mode. Rebooting your computer into Safe Mode will only load the essential files for Windows, which will allow you to determine if another program or service such as your antivirus is causing the connection issues.[3]
- You can try disabling your antivirus first and seeing if that fixes the issue. If so, then you should uninstall your antivirus and install a new one.
- Reboot your computer and hold down the F8 key while it is booting up.
- Select Safe Mode with Networking from the list of options.
- Test the connection. If you are able to successfully connect to the internet, then the problem lies with a program running on your computer. Examine the startup files and disable programs until you find the culprit.
Part 3
Troubleshooting the Router
1Plug your computer directly into your modem. If you are using a router to create a home network, disconnect your computer from it and plug an ethernet cable directly into your modem's Ethernet port.
- Attempt to load a webpage. If you are still receiving DNS errors, then the problem likely lies with the ISP. Contact them and inquire about connecting to the DNS servers.
- If you can connect to a web page, then the problem stems from your router. Reconnect your router to your modem and connect your computer back to the network to continue troubleshooting.
2Enter in alternate DNS servers. You can change your router's settings so that it attempts to manually connect to alternate DNS servers. This can tell you if your ISP's DNS server may be faulty.
- Open your router's configuration page. This is different for every router, but essentially you will need to enter your router's IP address into your browser's address bar. See this guide for more details.
- Open the Internet section. Find the subsection marked "Domain Name Server (DNS) Address".
- Set it to manually use DNS servers that you enter.
- Enter the OpenDNS server information (Primary - 184.108.40.206, Secondary - 220.127.116.11) or Google DNS server information (Primary - 22.214.171.124, Secondary - 18.104.22.168).
- Click Apply or Save Changes. Your router will take a few moments to apply the changes.
- Test it out. Open up a new browser window on your computer and attempt to connect to a website. If you are able to connect then your ISP is most likely having DNS issues.
3Reset your router. Sometimes the settings on your router might get corrupted, and the easiest way to fix them is to simply reset your router to default settings. This will reset your wireless network settings and any port forwarding information.
- To reset your router, use a paperclip or other pointy object to press and hold the Reset button on the back of the router.
- Reconfigure your router. After it has been reset, you will need to reconfigure your wireless network (if you were using it). Any admin passwords and accounts will be reset as well.

Rights activists fear the verdict will feed a culture of impunity that reigns in southern Pará and throughout the Brazilian Amazon. Of more than 914 cases of land-related killings over the past 30 years, all but a dozen gunmen have gone scot-free. Only six intellectual authors have served time in prison, amounting to a conviction rate below 2 percent.
With receding hairline and bookish eyeglasses, José Batista Gonçalves Afonso, a Catholic Church lawyer who advised the prosecution in the case against Moreira and conspirators, looks more like the priest he studied to be in his youth than the rainforest and human rights crusader he has become, a man who has received multiple death threats. He has helped file an appeal in the case, hoping to bring a new trial against Moreira. "Convicting the boss would have a squelching effect," he says. "They'll have to think twice before contracting killers to do their work."
That's unlikely to happen any time soon, in Afonso's view. Brazil has set itself on a course that will see more land conflict, not less, as it seeks to boost commodity exports—minerals, beef and soy—to pay for massive public-works projects and social programs. It could be the government applying eminent domain over indigenous lands to dam a river. Or a rancher illegally clearing land for cattle. Wherever the challenge comes from, there will be push-back from traditional communities. "We see the greatest number of conflicts where the frontier is expanding into the Amazon," says Afonso, who pledges to stand behind those who resist. "We're going to confront the loggers, the cattle breeders, the ranchers. We will impede their advance." It's a fight he almost seems to welcome. In any case, it's a fight that's far from over.
