We all gathered around the hole, Harriet stood there looking strained and the rest of us had blank expressions on our faces. I took Jake's hand and smiled as he squeezed it,
"Crossing to Earth will require a lot of bravery," Harriet spoke out, "There's a place we call limbo, you have to act quickly when you get there, if you don't you'll be sucked into the core,"
"The core of the earth?" Luke asked,
"Quite so, limbo is dark and disorientating, that is why we are all going in pairs," Harriet explained, "William and Lucinda, you first," Harriet instructed, "Hold each other in a hug and don't let go. Once you get into limbo, Lucinda you multiply and try and find the hole into Earth, you will have roughly thirty seconds," she explained.
"Where will we land on Earth?" William asked, Harriet beamed at him,
"Well done for reminding me son, here take these," she handed us all mobile phones, "Luke it will be your job to collect everyone from the different points on the earth, we will all assemble in London,"
"London?" I beamed, she nodded,
"As long as you hold onto each other, you will arrive in the same place as them, ring Luke after five minutes and he'll teleport to wherever you are and carry you back to London. Remember to remain inconspicuous and not to give away to any human the fact you possess magic powers," she warned, "Ready?" Lucinda gripped William and William did the same to Lucinda, "Do not let go," Harriet warned. William and Lucinda edged over to the hole and suddenly began to melt away; they sunk into the hole and disappeared.
"Give them a moment," Harriet told us, "Jake and Jade it will be you next," she said. A minute later my head was against Jake's chest and we were shuffling over to the hole, I had made fists of Jake's shirt and his arms were locked in a vice around me. We began to sink and I kept my head buried in Jake's safe chest, darkness enclosed around us and I couldn't breathe, I held my breath and squeezed my eyes shut. Suddenly we seemed to me falling, my fingers loosened and I let go of Jake for a moment, luckily Jake's arms were strong and held me to him. There was nothing but darkness around us but I seemed to be slipping out of Jake's hands, the force of gravity was strong here and I tried to catch Jake's arms as I fell out of his grip.
"Jade!" he shouted as he let go of me and I plummeted towards the ground, or wherever I was doomed. I somersaulted, flailed my arms and legs around me, I screamed and landed on something soft. Something so soft I kept cascading through it, like feathers or leaves. Something heavy landed on top of me just as I hit the floor, the breath was knocked out of me, my head spun as Jake pulled me up and carried me in his arms. He was looking for the next hole, I gingerly opened my eyes and with my good eyesight I could make it out,
"To your left," I cried, Jake moved right, "Other way!" I shouted, he went forward, "Right!"
"I'm so disorientated and it's pitch black," he complained, we'd been in here for twenty seconds. He took me backwards, I wriggled down and yanked him towards the hole, he tripped on the dark floor and fell,
"Get up!" I screamed at him, he crawled towards me, we had three seconds, his arms wrapped around me and we began to sink slowly down into the hole. I sighed in relief as light appeared around us, Jake's arms were gripped around me even tighter than before, my heart lurched as I look down and saw we were falling down into the sea.
"I hadn't thought of this!" I cried, "How will Luke find us if we are in the sea?" Jake's heart beat was hammering against my head,
"Whatever happens Jade, I want you to know. I. Love. You!" he shouted as we hit the water. Suddenly he became too big for my arms to fit all around him, it was as if he'd burst, something big and blue expanded beneath me. It felt rubbery and soft, I looked around to find Jake, a surge of water blew up a few meters in front of me and covered me with small water droplets. I began to laugh as I looked all around me,
"To the land." Said a voice so low it was more of a deep groan, I kissed the Blue Whale and thumped him twice so he knew how much I appreciated his power and quick thinking.
"Come on Jake the big Blue Whale, take us to safety!" I shouted towards his head, he blew up another cascade of water and began to move west.

I have around a dozen test servers that I have setup manual scans for by computer name. They are guests running in a non HA cluster. When I run the scans it will rename some the inventory server objects that have already been scanned. If I go to the inventoried host that is running some of these guests it shows the vm name of the server and on some of them the guest hostname is the name of a different server. I have attached an screenshot.
The names will randomly change as the inventories are compeleted. Any suggestions?

Join our Florida Golfer Guide Newsletter!
Hosted by APBICO, Inc.
Copyright © 2002 APBICO, Inc.. All rights reserved.
Florida Golfer Guide.com has quickly become Florida's most current and complete Florida golf course guide, listing over 1,500 courses from the Panhandle to the Florida Keys. No other Florida golf course guide features as much information on as many Florida golf courses as Florida Golfer Guide! Not only do we make sure you find out everything you need to know about the Florida golf course you're looking for, but we also list restaurants and hotels near each course, with links to their sites. Searching for Miami FL golf courses, their statistics, ratings, green fees, AND which restaurants and hotels are nearby? Then this is the Florida golf course guide for you. We want Florida Golfer Guide to be the place to click for planning your morning Florida golf tee times, Florida golf vacation – or even locating your ideal Florida golf real estate. What better place to find Florida Golf Real Estate than on the most extensive Florida golf course guide in the country!
We felt compelled to take the concept of a Florida golf course guide database, or Florida golf course directory, to the next level by the public's reoccurring need for better, more accurate Florida golf course information and listings. National databases are slow to up-date their lists, and even slower to add new or smaller courses – on a Nation-wide scale, it's impossible to remain entirely accurate or detailed within each state. Other databases are compiled with the minimum of information, offering little more than the means to contact a Florida golf course or club yourself to learn more about Florida golf. Phone numbers and addresses are often out-of-date, or changes in area or zip codes are not made. And no other database offers easy access to lodging and restaurants in the area of your chosen Florida golf course.
Our goal is to make your search for Florida golf course information quicker and easier, by asking all the pertinent questions for you. Each Florida golf course is sent our More Info Page Form to complete, adding any information they consider important to help you find your favorite Florida golf courses. Some courses choose to provide more information than others, and in some cases possess more information about their golf courses than others, as well. Golf course information such as: green fees, tee times, golf cart and golf club rentals, holes, architect and year, public/private, guest policies, payment options, golf season, yards, slopes, ratings, weather, and more. You'll also find that we make a great Florida golf resort guide, listing all the major golf resorts in the state, complete with links to their websites. Places like: World Golf Village courses, PGA Village courses, Sun City Center courses, Walt Disney World courses, and others. Be sure to check out Florida's major golf cities: Naples FL golf courses are the most numerous in the state, with over 200 in the area! Following close behind are Tampa FL golf courses, Palm Beach FL golf courses, Orlando FL golf courses, Stuart FL golf courses and Miami FL golf courses.
We at Florida Golfer Guide work continuously to make certain that our golf course information is current and accurate, but if you should stumble across any error – please let us know! No one is above oversight. If you know of a golf course that we are missing, fill out our Send Us Your Course Info form so that we can include it. Also, drop us an email with any comments or suggestions for improvement – we love to hear from you!
Golfers! Help us with our Golf Course Rating Project! Look for Florida golf courses on our site that you have played and give us your rating and comments about them. Ratings will become a part of each golf course's detailed information, and your comments will be accessible to viewers from all over the world!

Love these boots so much. They are comfy and perfect for cold winter days, I love the fur lined inside of the boots to keep my feet warm and dry and I like that these boots go with all my outfits.
Really comfortable with a nice thick sole and good grip. I'd say they are snug fit, especially whilst putting on and taking off.
So comfy.
Lovely boot, good length. A tiny but narrow, so not for wide feet! A bit stiff, but I'm sure it will stretch and loosen with wear. Over all a great boot for the price.
These are super comfy and so warm! They feel a little loose at the moment, but I think that's because it's not the season for thick socks yet! Also very sturdy for people like me who fall over a lot!
These are lovely looking boots and I found them a really good fit - a lot of shoes I try on are too tight, I think my feet are slightly wider than average and I've also got used to wearing really comfy boots, so don't like the idea of anything too tight. These are quite rigid but have plenty of room inside, which is great and the calf is also flexible and easily fits my wider than average calves but without the risk of my foot coming out of the boot. A great design and the only reason I rated 3.5 rather than 4 stars is that these aren't leather. I've never bought non-leather shoes or boots before and these are very expensive for man-made boots, but I've been trying on boots for the last 2 years and none have fitted, or looked right - these look lovely and fit great, so I was willing to give it a go. Based on 2 weeks wear so far, they're great and only time will tell how well they last.

ROVERS signed off their 2009-10 Ewood Park campaign with an impressive 2-1 victory over Arsenal.Sam Allardyce's side put behind the disappointment of going a goal down after Robin van Persie's 14th minute header to turn the game in their favour with two goals.David Dunn netted the first just before half time when he latched onto Keith Andrews ball across the area to level.Then after Morten Gamst Pedersen had been denied and Martin Olsson saw an effort ruled out, Chris Samba rose to connect with Pedersen's corner in the 68th minute.Arsenal, who only had consolidation of third place to play for, threw on Arshavin and Eduardo, but there was to be no beating Rovers as they registered their 10th home league win of the season, a victory that sees Rovers move up to tenth in the division.A great way to end the season on home soil.
Sam Allardyce made four changes for the final home game of the 2009-10 season. Two of them were enforced, illness robbing Player of the Year Steven Nzonzi from ending an impressive debut campaign at Ewood, whilst Niko Kalinić picked up a knock in training and missed out.The other two changes saw Phil Jones and Yildiray Basturk drop to the bench. The four players coming in Chris Samba, Vince Grella, Keith Andrews and David Dunn.Rovers should have been behind after Arsenal's first attack. Just three minutes were on the clock when Ryan Nelsen was caught napping at the back, allowing Theo Walcott in around the back, Paul Robinson came to close down, then stopped leaving him in no mans land, and leaving Walcott with the simple task of picking out Carlos Vela in the centre. Walcott did what was asked of him but Vela didn't as he tapped wide with the goal at his mercy.
Aside from a Morten Gamst Pedersen free-kick that Lukasz Fabianski was quickly across to claim, Rovers offered little as an attacking force. Arsenal keeping the ball well in midfield, their hosts chasing, snapping at their heels.
But manager Sam Allardyce will have been disappointed in the manner that they conceded the opening goal - a set piece. Samir Nasri's corner from the left was flicked on at the near post by Bacary Sagna to pick out Robin van Persie who rose above Gaël Givet at the back and the Dutchman headed home courtesy of the underside of the crossbar.
Long balls hit into the Arsenal penalty area saw Fabianski struggle, but it was Paul Robinson who was called into making a save on the half hour. Robin van Persie's 22 yard free-kick forcing the Rovers number one to save scrambling to his right.
The visitors took the lead courtesy of a set-piece and it was from one of Rovers' that they would draw level.
Two minutes before the break a Morten Gamst Pedersen corner from the right picked out Ryan Nelsen in the area, he squared it to Keith Andrews to his right and the Irishman drilled the ball low and hard across the six yard box to where David Dunn arrived to tap home from two yards out.
It was Dunn's 10th goal of the season and his 50th in Rovers colours.
Neither side made changes at the break, but it was Rovers, fresh from the goal just before the break, who started the second half with renewed vigour.
On 55 minutes slick passing saw David Dunn feed Keith Andrews and he slipped the ball through to Morten Gamst Pedersen who raced in on goal but was denied by Fabianski. The Norwegian chased to get to the rebound and appeared to be felled by Sol Campbell, but only a corner kick was awarded.
At the other end Robin van Persie blazed wide when well placed something that doesn't happen too often against Rovers.
They were let off there, and Rovers took full advantage, Sam Allardyce threw on Junior Hoilett in search of further goals and the young Canadian almost delivered, latching onto a ball from Dunn to fire goalwards but the Arsenal stopper tipped the ball over at the near post.
Then Martin Olsson thought he had given Rovers the lead when he rounded Fabianski, but he was denied by a raised flag on the far side.
But Rovers didn't have long to wait for the net to be bulging when from a Morten Gamst Pedersen corner kick, Fabianski missed the ball and Chris Samba was on hand to nod the ball home to spark great scenes amongst the Ewood faithful.
Then David Dunn went close, his free-kick whistling inches over the crossbar.
Unimpressed, Arsene Wenger threw on Andrey Arshavin and Eduardo, but Rovers were never in danger. Phil Jones was added to increase the number of defenders, but Arsenal rarely threatened and as the final whistle blew, it brought to an end a great Ewood Park season.

Subs: Brown (GK), Jacobsen, Emerton, Basturk, Di Santo.

Prologue- Departures.
In a world where Elvish and Human culture has coexisted forever, racial tensions are reaching a historical height. Following a fallout with his father, and his forced enrollment in an Elvish Boarding School, Leo (A human) finds himself at odds with local girl Sophia. As their tensions are mirrored in the two empires will things calm, or break into utter chaos?
There he was again, up on that podium. Seemed like his whole childhood his father had been up there, prattling economics this and immigration that. Leo had to give it to him today though, he was doing an excellent job of looking like a fool.
His salt and pepper hair had been combed and sleeked back, so that it looked nearly as shiny as his sweaty red brow. Lord Kennith Holder had never seemed such the hypocrite. For a man who'd preached anti-Elven sentiment for his entire career it was a ballsy move to come out to the public and announce his son would be attending an elven school for the next year.
The three Kennith brothers stood together, alongside their mother behind their father as he continued on with his talk. All were in dressed immaculately. Then, suddenly, his father wasn't talking anymore, and it was Leo's turn to step up.
He'd thought about it long and hard. He could make a scene. He could reveal his father for the pig he truly was. But what he couldn't do was embarrass his family like that, his brothers, his mother, they hadn't done anything wrong… why should they be humiliated?
And so, Leo spoke. He told the masses crammed into the tight square that the move to Luwin Haven was his choice. He told the shadows of the skyscrapers that it would be useful for his family, his father and his people to further understand this culture that ran alongside their own. He told them that his father had fully supported this choice, and that he was thankful for the opportunity.
And then, it was over.
He stepped down into the waiting arms of his mother and the crushing hugs of his brothers. Emily, his father's personal assistant, told him a car would be waiting for him on the other end of the portal. No word from Daddy dearest.
He followed them down the stairs, and into the portal station, where it was already open and waiting for him, with a little man in a red suit and black cap holding his bags off to the side. His life in Luwin Haven was about to begin.

The TV presenter was running in Bushy Park, Teddington, with a woman fitness trainer yesterday morning when a man knocked him to the ground and shouted repeatedly: "You should not have done it, you f***er."
MacIntyre, 39, was nearing the end of a 10-mile run when he was ambushed. He suffered a bruised shin and knee. The pair struggled on the ground before the attacker ran off. MacIntyre ran after the man and wrestled him to the ground, but he escaped.
"It was a completely unprovoked attack, shocking and frightening, which took me by surprise," said MacIntyre. The attack follows a series of threats to him linked to investigations into football violence and eastern European crime gangs. His exposè of the notorious "Headhunter" gang of Chelsea football hooligans in 1999, in the programme MacIntyre Undercover, resulted in long sentences for two ringleaders for conspiracy to commit violent disorder - and turned the reporter into a target for soccer thugs across Britain.
A friend of MacIntyre said he believed the assault was carried out by "the greater family of football hooligans".
The attacker is described as aged about 35, thick-set with long, fair hair and "intense, staring eyes". Richmond police are investigating.Reuse content

a) Avoid her -- she's clearly in a bad mood.
b) Go ask her, "Are you okay?" "Is everything alright?" or some variation thereof
c) Treat her like a normal person who happens to not be smiling
If you answered anything but C, you are a rude, sexist jerk.
But, chances are, the woman feels fine -- she's just a normal human being who happens to not be smiling. Asking her if she's okay, then, is obnoxious. And it can make her feel bad or ugly. And it's an intrusion. And possibly, also, a mood killer. If this confuses you -- how can a woman possibly be okay if she's not smiling?! -- let country star Kacey Musgraves break it down for you:
Resting "This Is Just a Totally Neutral Expression" Face
Resting "My Mind Was Elsewhere For a Minute" Face
Resting "Please Stop Asking What's Wrong" Face
Resting "This Wouldn't Bother You If I Were a Guy" Face
Why? Because in order to have a smooth, tension-free interaction with someone, actions and reactions need to be complementary. You can't both act high in agency -- if you did, the alternative is conflict and confrontation, which most people try to avoid.
But this morning, I read I'm Not Mad. This Is Just My Resting Bitch Face in the... wait for it... New York Times.
For those who need a review, RBF is a face that, when at ease, is perceived as angry, irritated or simply … expressionless. It's the kind a person may make when thinking hard about something — or perhaps when they're not thinking at all.
A New Jersey business journal, NJBIZ, even published a special report on the topic.
"Yes, we've asked ourselves the questions you might be asking yourself right now: What relevance does this have in the workplace? Is this topic sexist? Should we write this story at all?" the publication wrote, noting the seeming absurdity of a business publication tackling RBF.
"But, after calling around the state asking more than a dozen C-suite women in multiple industries to weigh in on the subject, we noticed one thing: No one ever scoffed or even asked, 'Why would this matter?' "
Yes, the tyranny of RBF is real.
For Nora Long, a 22-year-old intern at a Florida law firm, the struggle began in kindergarten, when her school's headmaster summoned her to his office "because he thought I looked unhappy." "From that day on until he left the school when I was in the seventh grade," Ms. Long said, "he would say 'Smile Nora!' every time he saw me."
Morra Aarons-Mele, a small-business owner in Los Angeles, said she "Botoxed away" her "congenital frown line" so that people would stop asking, "Are you mad?" "Then people were warmer to me — I swear," she said.
Because, seriously... WHO DOES THAT?
Here's how I handle it:
The first time someone asks this, I tell them, "I'm not mad, but I will be if you ever ask me that again. Unless I'm lying in a pool of blood, do not ask me if I'm okay. It's rude, it's disempowering... and why would you even ask that?"
90% of the time, the person cleverly retorts, "Are you okay?!"
So I say, "Seriously. Don't ever ask me that again."
The second time they ask, I do get mad. Because if a woman is not being respected, it's important for her to be rude. ("Rude." Because if I calmly asked them not to do something, but they did it anyway and I got mad, I'm the "rude" one. Because if someone asks me an intrusive, disempowering question and it bothers me, I'm the rude one.)
And, while we're talking about it, here are a few other totally rude, stupid questions you should not be asking or saying:
- Long day?
- You look tired!
- Are you feeling well?
- Did you get enough sleep last night?
Because why? Why would you ask someone something like this? Either they are tired/sick/stressed, and they're just trying to make it through the day... or they're totally fine, and you just made them feel like they look like shit.
I'll end this post the same way I ended Stop Asking People If They're Okay - Ask This Instead:
There are so many better things you could be asking them. Questions that remind them that they still have agency, independence, and autonomy. And that you care, and are totally ready to support them, if and when they need it.
Questions (and, I guess, statements) like:
- How's it going?
- What're you working on these days?
- Let's catch up soon -- like really catch up. What's your schedule look like this week?
- You've always been really good at ___. Can I pick your brain for a project I've been working on?
- You're an important friend to me.
- If you ever need anything, let me know! You were totally there for me that time when _____.
- Wanna go for a walk? I'd love to get outside for a bit today! We can talk about whatever. Or we can just listen to the birds.
- I'm pretty much going to sit at my house alone and watch Netflix tonight. I'd love it if you'd sit with me. Or we can go to your place -- you have that awesome couch!
- Can I get some advice about _____?
- You look great today!
- It's SO GREAT to see you!
- Seeing you always makes my day!
- I was JUST thinking about you! Remember that time we ________!?
- Get over here and give me a huge hug!! (you know, if that's appropriate in the context of your relationship)
- I saw that you accomplished _____. Way to go!
- I've been on this thing lately where I've been asking people, "What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?" What's yours?
- This is sort of random -- but what are three things about yourself that are important to you?
Because, let's be real. Whoever you're talking to, anywhere in the world, each of these questions is better, more personal, and more interesting than some generic, scripted question like, "Are you okay?" I mean, if that's the best you can come up with, why not just delete your default SMS app and replace it with Yo?
And let's be more real. People who used a mindful, thoughtful greeting like the ones above are also seen as warmer and more charismatic. (Remember: charisma is a science, not an art.) So... get mindful. Be a better conversationalist. Treat people like people, and ask better questions.

The LoDI Index uses linear regression analysis to combine cargo volume data from rail, barge, air, and truck transit, along with various economic factors. The resulting indicator is designed to predict upcoming changes in the level of logistics and distribution activity in the US and is represented by a value between 1 and 100. An index at or above 50 represents a healthy level of activity in the industry
The University of Louisville said:
The National LoDI Index for October is 52. This shows the index is holding strong from last month. It is also the highest October value since 2008 which shows that the industry has maintained a certain level of growth from the last few years.
So was the initial spike a one-off event? What happened?

Gunmen ambushed a bus full of Shia Muslim pilgrims in south-west Pakistan yesterday, killing 26 and wounding six in an apparent sectarian attack.
A pickup truck blocked the vehicle's path, and a group of at least eight men carrying rockets and guns forced the passengers off before opening fire and speeding off, the driver said. The wounded lay on the ground for nearly an hour before rescue workers arrived.
The pilgrims had been travelling through Mastung in Baluchistan province on their way to the Iranian border. Shia Muslims are a minority in Pakistan.Reuse content

An Open Letter to the Governor re Mauna Kea
Dear Governor Ige,
Because we are Hawaiian Cultural Practitioners and are fairly well-acquainted with Mauna Kea, on April 8, 2015, Paul Neves and I guided you and your party to the summit of Mauna Kea. I have made pilgrimages to the summit a few times since that momentous trip up there with you.
One of my primary activities of my cultural practice is to walk in the footsteps of my ancestors – and i have walked over many parts of Mauna Kea, including having my cultural hiking group – Huaka'i i na 'Aina Mauna – in 2002 – hike from sea level at Koholalele Landing, at Kukaiau, on the Hamakua coast, to the summit of Mauna Kea, following the Umikoa Trail, then descending the Skyline Trail, crossing Pohakuloa Training Area and following the Kona Highway to the vicinity of Pu'uAnahulu, then hiking the Pu'uAnahulu-Kiholo Trail back to sea level at Luahinewai, at Kiholo Bay on the Kona coast.
I am desirous to ascend Mauna Kea again – but I hear that you have illegally placed certain restrictions on cultural practitioners (such as me) to be able to go up the Mountain only at 1 p.m. on a daily basis in a group of less than 10. And I understand that the reason for this restriction is that you have declared the road to be unsafe, making it a public safety issue. But what I don't understand is that the observatory people have access to go up and down the Mountain.- with no limitations. It seems to me that if the road is unsafe for cultural practitioners, that it would be unsafe for astronomers and the public. Do they sign disclaimers or something of that sort – to be able to do what they are being allowed to do? If so, I'm willing to sign a disclaimer too. In other words, I'm willing to disclaim the risk of using the road that you have declared to be unsafe. However, I hear that there are no restrictions for cultural practitioners who are willing to hike.
Well, back to my wanting to ascend the Mountain.
Despite having a hypertensive condition, and suffering from a side effect of gout, I thought I'd visit the summit area on Sunday, leaving the HalePohaku Visitors' Center area at 5 a.m. As you are a relatively young man compared to my being 79 years old – I would love to have you share the hike up the Mountain with me. We can do this by ourselves – and you can give your bodyguards the day off – as there won't be any of those "unruly," young Protectors on the road that is being restricted to them. And since they will be escorted up the mountain by one of the Mauna Kea rangers when they can come up at 1 p.m., things should be quite secure. And since there will be just you and me – we'll be able to enjoy the spirituality and serenity of the Mountain in peace and quiet. Lake Waiau should be at its shimmering best. Even if we take our time moving at a leisurely pace, going up to an altitude of 13,000 feet, we should be back to the Visitors' Center before 10 p.m.
There is only one problem – and that is that if my feet swell excessively because of my medications and subsequent water retention – that I'll have to abort any further ascent at that point – and start down. Will that be OK with you?
Can I look forward to your timely appearance at 5 a.m. on Sunday morning as we engage in this wonderful cultural (we don't have to call it religious) activity? Please make sure, though, that you have good hiking boots, some energetic food and snacks and warm clothes (in case the weather should turn a bit cold).
Thanks. I'm looking forward to spend a very nice and pleasant day with you.

Roasting, at its simplest, is to develop the coffee with a constantly increasing temperature. Brought up too quickly, the coffee will scorch and acquire off-flavours from uneven development. Brought up too slowly, the coffee will bake and simplify, turning a vivacious cup into a wallflower.
Our instrument of choice is a 70kg Loring Peregrine Smart Air Roaster. This roaster allows us to increase production capacity and reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by 80%.
It takes 14 to 16 minutes for the magic to happen with each batch we roast. That magic involves tweaking the fuel and feathering the airflow to juggle radiant, conductive and convective heat. Achieving a balance is a subtle tight rope act of looking for and finding "just right."
Successfully executed you'll taste a cup with clarity, vivid flavours and a sugary sweet palate. A little bit of us and a lot of what happened on the farm.
Green Coffee Selection
Roasting coffee begins with the selection of green coffee. We use importers exclusively in this process for the incomparable breadth of selection, impeccable logistics and the insurance that we get what we pay for. If the coffee contracted isn't right, we don't buy it and we don't take delivery. It ensures that the absolute best stuff is in our bags. No exceptions.
What we look for in our green coffee selection is for fundamentally sound coffees that deliver a clean, consistent and sweet cup that will fit the profile and purpose we've destined them for. We buy the best damn coffee with can we can find, dancing the slow dance between perfection and necessity.
The Secret to Roasting Coffee
A quick primer on green coffee selection is relevant with respect to roasting in that it brings us to the crux of roasting coffee. Are you ready? Now this is an important and rarely shared. The secret to roasting coffee is — to start with great green coffee.
That's it, that's the most important thing.
The second is to bring humility to the roasting process and look to influence the coffee with a light touch that develops and presents a coffee with as much of the integrity that the coffee arrived at the roastery with.
A standing ovation for the farmers would not be out of place at this point. We're nowhere without them — their critical care, attention in nurturing and ability to deliver the amazing coffee that we roast.
Ultimately, all the hand wringing seriousness and reflective consideration the roasting process entails serves no other purpose than to be of service to the end goal; the delivering of a taste experience in your cup that although hard to express, equals something as profound as NUMMY and leaves you simply thinking "What a great cup of coffee."

By Mike Clark, USA TODAY
Patrick Swayze was known as "king of the sleepers," thanks to 1987's Dirty Dancing and 1990's Ghost. But even though he eventually got caught in a lot of B-list fare, Swayze was more than a two-hit wonder.
Swayze's was in some ways an unconventional career, and a list of his five most representative titles arguably boil down to:
Dirty Dancing
The tagline section of the Internet Movie Database's Dancing entry was superbly succinct: "Jewess goes to Catskills for shiksa adventure!" Or getting specific, Swayze is the adventure, and Jennifer Grey is a doctor's shielded daughter who has a fling. The soundtrack CD went to No. 1, there were hit singles, and the VHS was the first to sell 1 million units. The movie was by far the biggest in the history of Vestron Pictures.
Road House
No one ever called it a critics' picture, and, in fact, Swayze shared a Razzie Award nomination for this and the same year's Next of Kin, in which he played the Chicago cop brother of hillbilly Liam Neeson. But starting with its central conceit — Swayze plays a saloon bouncer with an NYU background in philosophy —Road House (and Swayze) share a breezily unpretentious spirit.
An unusual mix of romance, the supernatural, urban violence and Oscar winner Whoopi Goldberg's antics, the surprise smash of its era is known for a pottery-wheel love scene that was a parody target. On 2007's commemorative DVD, Swayze confirms that when Ghost's makers took a look at Road House for casting, their reaction included the words "over," "my" and "dead body." But he has to react on camera to goings-on in scenes where his character really isn't, which is tougher than it looks.
Point Break
Surfers wearing rubber masks in the likeness of former U.S. presidents keep knocking off banks, and federal agent Keanu Reeves has to infiltrate their culture. Swayze's hippie-dippy felon was a high point of the movie.
Donnie Darko
In his feature debut, how did director Richard Kelly land a cast that included Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone, Mary McDonnell and Holmes Osborne as Donnie's parents, Drew Barrymore, Katharine Ross and Beth Grant? Swayze's casting may have been the most ticklish, playing the self-help phony pushed on the town and school board, until his audience-pleasing secret comes out.

How was this film ever made? It presents many aspects of the left wing of politics genuinely, as they see themselves; not as reinterpreted through a capitalist middle-class filter or stereotype. Film has been such a capital intensive medium that it seems none ever get made without the approval of some millionaire or corporate backer, and that all structure themselves, and the worldviews they express, to win this approval; consequently people on the left get used to caricature or demonization as their only screen presence. Not so in "Jonas...". In a way the characters are archetypes, representing: sexual freedom, generosity and social consideration, intellectual expansiveness instead of reductionism, atheism, naturalistic identification, communality in spirit, stoicism etc; but I find identification with the characters easy. But it is not Utopian; the consequences for generosity of spirit in a greedy context are dramatized in the story of imprisonment and persecution. As with all good politics, the underlying message is not a mere power squabble; but a reflection on cosmic order, what the right tends to call "spiritual" concerns. The inflowing of people into the energy of the birth of Jonas and the disintegration of that unity after the event has transpired makes "Jonas..." a profoundly philosophic and satisfying story. After 30 years this is still one of my favourite movies.
While Jonah is generally referred to as a comedy, it is not. It does have some, perhaps many, funny moments. Comedy is certainly a part of it. But the film is a serious and almost perfect meditation on the post-revolutionary era and what's in store for the future. It is also a document on the passage of time, the ways in which the world changes around us, the ways in which we as individuals evolve, or devolve. The different characters negotiate their existences in different ways, with different philosophies. The mood of the film is very sad, but in the gentlest way possible. There's a hope for the future, but it's not a big one. It's quite pessimistic. The musical score, by Jean-Marie Senia, is exquisite, one of the best ever written for the cinema. The camera moves beautifully. 10/10.
And I thought I was a radical activist in my student years of the late 60's. I was aware of rising social consciousness, rebellion against materialism and corporate greed. I was not aware back then how world wide the phenomenon was. I am still surprised when I find evidence that breaks with tradition and convention were going on in Poland, France, and well, yeah, Switzerland? And from the mid 70's on, I can relate to the pressures to find our place in a world of work - constantly seeking meaningful employment in a system that rarely reflects our new values. These characters, Organic Farmers, Creative History Professor, Sketcher of Animals, Proofreader, Grocery Cashier, and more are still seeking meaningful lives and relationships. Even in unorthodox sexual experimentation they seek meaningful respectful relationships. I am Labor. With my intellectual pursuits, study of French Language and foreign Cultures, Humanitarian Concerns, Respect for Nature - I thought I would be so much more in my life. As these characters, who seem to slowly accept the existential realities of that post 60's burst of Hope - we now pass those hopes on silently to our children.
Nice, small, intellectual film that criticizes the political system of
its time. Even though the situation hasn't changed much yet. It even
more criticizes the consumer society and economy for its lack of
humanity. It makes clear, that the government has complete control over
the masses, over me and over you - we have nothing.
Economy is going to eat itself up until chaos will rule again and nobody has control anymore.
The characters in the film try to change something, but it seems to go nowhere. They have good intentions, but simply lack the power. Just as these characters, we also get suppressed by our government. This film is not just about Switzerland of France. It's about democracy and free market economy. The film can make people realize how hopeless our existence is. How decadent our lives are...
Watching this film certainly isn't a waste of time. If you like your films a little more ambitious, it doesn't fail to entertain. And even if you can't begin "doing" anything with its message, the film is full of interesting facts about society and simply about the way it is.
9/10 for a smart, critical film that is able to change opinions and views.
PS: If you ask yourself whether you should watch it on TV today, or not...DON'T MISS IT! BECOME SOMEONE ELSE!
This movie elegantly captures the zeitgeist of ca 1975, seen through individual lives of some Genevans who in minor ways attempt to keep the sparkle of rebellion alive while their dreams from 1968 fade away, facing the reality of the 1970s. Its blend of tongue-in-cheek comedy and melancholy sadness makes it impossible to forget once you've seen it.
For a French-speaking American younger than Jonas would now be, I couldn't always easily connect with the collection of colorful individuals (among others, an unorthodox high school teacher, a couple of organic vegetable farmers, a laid-off type-setter, a disillusioned journalist, an eccentric cashier with a compassionate bent, and a redhead captivated by tantric sex) that got together in this film, post Paris manifestations of May '68, to share their frustrations, their ruminations and their fantasies. But the film chewed on heaps of intriguing controversial issues of the time - many lines taken directly from Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda - which continue to stir emotion in any thinking, feeling individual. The film is also personal, full of heart and full of intellectual stimulation. It's melancholic and nostalgic, yet wistfully optimistic. Recommended to anyone interested in the provocative issues that fomented the famous student demonstrations around the world just a few years before this film was conceived.
I first saw this film when it was new. When I saw the title in a local video store, I couldn't resist the chance to see it again on the eve of Jonah's 25th birthday. Some of the political rhetoric is dated, but in some ways it's amazing how little has changed. The film is in some ways about taking stock of one's life. And seeing it twice, almost 25 years apart, certainly helped me to do that.
"Jonah Who Will Be 25 in the Year 2000" may be the only Swiss movie
that I know about, but it's a great one. It focuses on several aging
radicals and their realization that maybe the world couldn't eventually
be like they had one day hoped for. They had participated in the 1968
uprising in Paris - and everything surrounding that - but are now
trying to figure out where exactly they belong in this changing world
of the 1970s.
Alain Tanner really created something impressive here. We see how, although they understand that their goals were probably unattainable, they have not abandoned their political views. "JWWB25ITY2000" is what great film-making is all about.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The end titles somewhat cheekily credit Jean Piaget and Jean Jacques
Rousseau among others, but Jonah Who Will Be 25 in the Year 2000 has
neither the philosophical heft nor the dry tone of the work of such
thinkers. Instead, the film attempts to give its viewer a new
perspective on contemporary society by portraying characters from
various social strata and their failure to reconcile their idealistic
outlooks with the harsh reality of a capitalist system.
The film is structured as a series of disjointed scenes that gradually reveal a number of loosely connected narrative strands. Perhaps the most affecting strand is the one about Marie, a grocery store checkout girl who gives away as much food as she sells. Although some of her gifts to customers seem arbitrary, she also makes it a point to help elderly people with small pensions. Like several other characters, Marie herself is stuck with a menial job even though she seems to be capable of something more challenging and fulfilling. She even has to live in one country and work in another due to a scarcity of employment. Of course, her behavior is inevitably noticed and it garners her a harsh punishment. The same happens to an honest teacher who attempts to impart lessons about the failings of the capitalist way of life to high school children and (to a lesser degree) to the environmentalists who attempt to run an organic farm.
The technical aspects of the film are fairly well handled, although some of director Alain Tanner's choices were puzzling. He frequently splices in real life footage and he also switches to brief monochrome shots at fairly arbitrary intervals. This seems to have been an attempt to add a Cinéma vérité feel to the venture, but whatever the reason for its implementation, it often falls flat. Still, there are some strangely affecting images here, particularly in the bicycle sequence that incorporates some of the film's only landscape shots to make the human built structures appear forlorn and dingy against the natural backdrop. Jonah Who Will Be 25 in the Year 2000 is captivating but uneven, thought provoking but not profound.
Marcel, the newly elected history teacher in high school, starts his
course with "The structure of time" in Alain Tanner's most famous film
"Jonas". Starting not from history as substance (which he sees
correctly as a manifestation of time), but with its "shape" in the
sense of post-Einsteinian physics, he uses blood-sausage from his
father's butcher store, forming a long pipe or a corridor which he asks
one of his students to cut conforming with the ticking metronome on his
desk. So do people "create" their time, by hazard "splitting" it into
longer or shorter, but arbitrary pieces. However, taken the
blood-sausage as a whole, one sees not only its continuum, but all the
folds, creases and pleats: these dis-continua are what we call the
"events", the events that need time and shape time at once. The sum of
events in time we call history.
Tanner's whole film is a complex example of how all these 68er people, now in a post-revolutionary confusion, try to understand the structure of time and their own position in it. Social critique philosophy is always existentialism, not on the trivial reason that a society consists of individuals, but because Being differs from existence by including the component of time into reflection. Since time cannot be structured by an individual alone, conflicts emerge, and conflicts are usually "solved" with fights and battles - as we know from history. However, a society in which conflicts can be analyzed into theses and anti-theses in order to be neutralized in syntheses, would be a society that is conscious that history starts with a metaphysics of time - as taught in the movie by Marcel. But Marcel loses his job, teaches in an old age home the "Temps Des Cerises", and history still starts with the enumeration of single battles - we have still not learned that the topic of history is not the fragile product of mankind - but the time and its structure.

I am not sure I agree with you about the dormant bud observation. All buds
in Hosta are dormant until they grow. I am sure you know that Hosta growth
is typified by a lateral bud developing into a strong leader that we see as
a shoot. As it grows, it forms leaves and axially buds (and of course
roots). Apical dominance keeps all of the axially buds dormant, but a few
at the base of the stem do swell. Finally, the meristem produces a flower
stalk and apical dominance is released. If the season is right, a few of
the basal buds grow and start the cycle all over again. The same cycle
occurs in tissue culture except that we never have flower inducing
conditions so all the buds remain vegetative. We keep the lateral buds
growing (lower apical dominance) by adding BAP to the culture medium. We
are not inducing the truly dormant axially buds (those that do not swell)
any more than natural growth does.
Now, some technical stuff. Under controlled conditions, TC should work as
described in the above paragraph. However, we do not live in an ideal
world. The growth conditions that we provide the plants are, obviously, not
perfect and we can get greedy and try to push the plants too hard (altering
phytohormone concentrations and some other things). Under these conditions
we get what is called bud proliferation (hundreds of buds formed in a mass
which at the extreme are called bud balls). The amount of bud proliferation
is variety dependent, and is most often seen on new explants. It can be
easily missed if not watched for. This technique is used in many plants to
get mass production of the plant (Bananas for example). When we grew some
venus fly traps we could get up to 250 plants from a single jar. Hosta
would be a lot less expensive if we could use this technique. It is a
danger in Hosta production (and probably day lilies as well) because it
leads to so many off types. We discard any cultures that form any bud
proliferation. Even a small amount of proliferation (which can be hard to
see) can really mess up a line.
I know that as a lab gets large, it can get harder to control the variables
that can lead to problems (such as bud proliferation), and some labs clearly
do not seem to care that much about product. In the Hosta business, you can
end up with a mess if you let things get out of hand. I am amazed at what I
see at the Horticultural trade shows. All yellow Francis Williams, So Sweet
with a very thin variegation, and that yellow Gold Standard. I could go on,
but you get the point. Do not get me wrong, I am not bad mouthing the other
Hosta labs that you are familiar with, but there are many other labs
(foreign and domestic) that are beginning to produce Hosta with mixed
results. How does a lab in India (I am not picking on one country here)
know how to cull a Hosta that will not even grow there?
I agree with you that it is the responsibility of the TC lab to produce good
culled plants, but that is an ideal that will probably not be reached in
today's market. The nature of TC will produce some bad plants from time to
time, and I wait in fear for the time that I sell something that is clearly
not true to form.

At first, it was difficult to see what the executives behind The Daily Show were thinking: replace one hugely famous Jon, with another largely unknown John.
But when John Oliver, the so-called "Senior British Correspondent" at The Daily Show since 2006, was drafted in to fill Jon Stewart's shoes as he took a break to direct a film, US audiences reacted favourably this summer.
And now, in a blow to the producers at Comedy Central, the makers of The Daily Show, such was the success of John Oliver's stint at the helm that he has now landed his own show with the premier US network HBO.
Oliver seemed to acknowledge the slightly-awkward nature of his departure in a statement released tonight. "I'm incredibly excited to be joining HBO, especially as I presume this means I get free HBO now," he said. "I want to thank Comedy Central, and everyone at The Daily Show for the best seven and a half years of my life. But most of all, I'd like to thank Jon Stewart. He taught me everything I know. In fact, if I fail in the future, it's entirely his fault."
The Birmingham-born Oliver, whose contemporaries at Cambridge University reportedly included the Peep Show star David Mitchell, will now host a weekly comedy series on Sunday nights from next year.
"We weren't otherwise searching for another weekly talk show, but when we saw John Oliver handling host duties on The Daily Show, we knew that his singular perspective and distinct voice belonged on HBO," said HBO's Original Programming head Michael Lombardo. "We are extremely excited that John has agreed to make HBO his home."

Malaysia Ringgit Advances for Fifth Week on Rate-Increase BetsElffie Chew
The ringgit rose for a fifth week, its longest winning streak since March, on speculation Malaysian policy makers will raise interest rates for a second time this year to protect savers and investors against inflation.
The currency appreciated 1.1 percent this month, Asia's best performance after Indonesia's rupiah and the Thai baht, as the central bank increased borrowing costs on July 10 for the first time in three years. Consumer-price gains quickened in June, official data showed last week. The one-year swap rate climbed one basis point this week to 3.7 percent, the highest level since 2008, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
"Prospects of another rate hike are driving the ringgit higher," said Jonathan Cavenagh, a Singapore-based currency strategist at Westpac Banking Corp. "Real yields are trending back in the ringgit's favor in a tapering environment."
The ringgit was steady today and strengthened 0.3 percent from July 18 to 3.1750 per dollar in Kuala Lumpur, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
One-month implied volatility, a measure of expected moves in the exchange rate used to price options, dropped 51 basis points, or 0.51 percentage point, to 4.95 percent for this week. It was little changed today.
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen told U.S. lawmakers on July 15 that "increases in the federal funds rate target likely would occur sooner and be more rapid than currently envisioned" should improvements in the labor market exceed projections. Employers in the world's biggest economy added 288,000 workers in June from 224,000 in the preceding month, official data released on July 3 showed.
Malaysian inflation quickened to 3.3 percent in June from 3.2 percent the preceding month, the Statistics Department reported last week. The central bank raised its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 3.25 percent on July 10. The next review is scheduled for Sept. 18.
Government bonds were little changed from a week ago. The yield on the 4.181 percent notes maturing in July 2024 was at 3.89 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It slipped one basis point today.

Do you see him as another Rick Nash, and does he lack vision? Also what do you make of his junior level scoring? I don't know what the competition levels are in Russia, but I assume the MHL and VHL are junior/lesser leagues? His 10 points for example in 11-12 in 38 MHL
games doesn't stand out. But again Im ignorant of the competition levels in Russia.
I think he is overrated, he's had one move, that let him get by at a lesser level, by cutting at the goal, he hasn't added much more, from what I had seen, very predictable. He must be eager to work on his game, or he will translate into one move-afinogenov player.
Low scoring in the MHL means nothing - look at Grigorenko/Zykov, the majority of Russian juniors increase their production at the CHL level vs. MHL. I think he can be a good first line player, but he can also slide quite quickly and move back home, all depends on his work - ethic and self-assessment.
