text: Deployment of TV band internet access accelerating, claims WhiteSpace Alliance 03 Jun 2015 11:57 AM WSA reports that members are increasingly sharing technology and testing solutions, which is helping to drive product development and promote interoperability for broadband White Space useTechnology sharing and interoperability testing among WhiteSpace Alliance (WSA) members is accelerating global deployment of TV band internet access, the Alliance announced today (3 June 2015). The WSA was set up to enable the sharing of underutilised spectrum, especially in TV bands.The WSA said it has been at the forefront of developing standards-based interoperability specifications and enhancements that enable reliable implementation of broadband solutions based upon efficient utilisation of TV broadcast spectrum."Our objective has always been to help our members get to market quickly with products that work together," said Dr. Apurva N. Mody, chairman of WhiteSpace Alliance. "WSA's focus on driving shared spectrum technologies from concept to deployment is paying off in a proliferation of new solutions."TV whitespace chipsetsRecently, WSA member Saankhya Labs became the first semiconductor vendor to introduce TV whitespace chipsets. The baseband radio module is based upon the IEEE 802.22 Standard and WhiteSpace Alliance's Wi-FAR interoperability specification, and includes base station and customer premise equipment components.The platform provides a robust environment for original equipment manufacturers and carriers to deliver fixed wireless broadband access in rural and remote areas, even where vegetation prevents traditional line-of sight deployments.Rural connectivityThrough the Alliance, WSA founding member AmeriSys of Canada has done extensive simulation and testing with Saankhya Labs to qualify interoperability of the AmeriSys whitespace radio currently under development with Saankhya's development kit. AmeriSys plans to introduce its whitespace product later this year.Carlson Wireless Technologies recently announced the third generation of its widely deployed whitespace radio solution, RuralConnect, based on the ISO and IEEE-approved 802.22 standard.RuralConnect Generation 3 incorporates chipsets from Saankhya Labs, and will triple Internet connection speeds to 25Mbps, cover distances from 10-30km, reduce latency, and support four times as many users per sector."Membership in WhiteSpace Alliance provides us an ideal environment to connect with a broad ecosystem of solution providers," said Jim Carlson, president of Carlson Wireless. "These partnerships are critical to reducing time-to-market and minimising development costs, particularly for rapidly emerging technologies such as spectrum sharing." Japanese involvementOther WSA member organisations such as Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) and Hitachi Kokusai have previously developed prototype system based on the IEEE 802.22 specification. Extensive testing was completed in rural environments in Northern Japan using whitespaces to enable long distance broadband Internet access.NuRAN Wireless, another WSA member, is in preparation for trials using TV whitespace as a backhaul link for its rural 2G mobile base station as well as its community network.In addition, WSA promoter member Texas Instruments is actively engaged with a variety of original equipment manufacturers to deliver state-of-the-art DSP and RF chipsets for TV whitespace applications worldwide.WSAConnect interoperability specificationBased upon extensive contributions from WSA member iconnectiv and the International Engineering Task Force PAWS specification for whitespace databases, WhiteSpace Alliance developed its WSAConnect interoperability specification. WSAConnect defines a standards-based mechanism to enable whitespace devices to discover and communicate reliably with appropriate shared spectrum databases.The messaging framework enables devices to query those databases to determine availability of spectrum for a particular location, and supports secure whitespace operation across devices, spectrum and geographies.Several Alliance member companies have successfully demonstrated interoperability using the WSAConnect specification. In the future, this WSAConnect interoperability protocol specification will be extended for operation in the emerging dynamic spectrum access bands.Field trialsCollaboration among WhiteSpace Alliance members is also resulting in field trials across the globe. In conjunction with the Government of India, WSA is sponsoring deployments in several regions with products contributed by Carlson Wireless, iconectiv, NuRAN Wireless, and Saankhya Labs, in association with Tier 1 service provider Tata Communications, a WSA promoter member."We are pleased to collaborate with other members in spearheading WSA's participation in the "Digital India" program, one of the largest initiatives ever undertaken to support digital inclusion," said Parag Naik, CEO of Saankhya Labs. Similar multi-vendor pilot implementations are underway in regions of Brazil."Development of technical specifications and interoperability testing provides significant time-to-market and product reliability benefits to our members," said Dr. Mody. "This in turn is accelerating availability of cost-effective broadband access solutions in underserved regions of the world."About WSAWhiteSpace Alliance, the developer of Wi-FAR and WSAConnect interoperability specifications, reports that it has a following of more than 200 major commercial, academic, government and regulatory organisations around the world.WSA member organisations benefit from access to technical specifications that decrease development costs; expanded access to global markets, regulators and government agencies; and ongoing marketing support at no additional cost.Consumers benefit from a multi-vendor, interoperable ecosystem that brings down the overall cost of broadband access.The WhiteSpace Alliance was set up to promote the development, deployment and use of standards-based products and services as a means of providing broadband capabilities via WhiteSpace spectrum. By promoting the use of standards, the Alliance will enable companies to provide broadband connectivity at reasonable cost.The WSA will also act as an enabler of the emerging white spaces ecosystem by helping to put in place interoperability, conformance, and compliance testing to make sure that our member stakeholders get the needed information & collaborations to succeed both in the market place and with regulatory requirements.Interoperability specifications will allow multiple vendors to enter the market and help to reduce the costs for the consumers, according to the WSA, which promotes the use of IEEE, 3GPP and IETF Standards for use in the White Spaces.For more information on WhiteSpace Alliance, please visit www.WhiteSpaceAlliance.org.

To start with, above resolving actually should not be in there but in
the locationmap (it uses 2 locationmap locations). Further since we here

Well to find out the real locations of
lm://project.images.{1}/images/{2}.{3} or lm://project.images.{2}.{3}
you need to lookup the locationmap matches for above.
1 (**/images/**.*) really just says any directory before {1} /images/
and having arbitrary directories {2} after and a final extension {3}.
Example that will match:
> 2. Test for xdocs/images/**/images/**.*
no, wrong
would try to lookup {lm:project.images.{1}/images/{2}.{3}}
Actually I could not find anything in the core that would match this.
> 3. read result of 2. and give it a mime type of same extension.
yes, right.
> 4. test for xdocs/images/**.*
no, wrong. Test locationmap:

How? By reg exp, yes lots of examples in plugins.

Well, ther will try to lookup a lm location so we cannot make any
statements of hard coded. However I could not find a match in the lm in
the core that would match. Meaning that would be needed to be defined in
the project lm.

If you e.g. categorize your images then you likely end up with a
directory hierarchy in image naming.

No it is the multiple fallbacks (most legacy) for image locations. What
we need it is a diet. More true when the dispatcher is further bringing

Not sure really. Images should be matched without magic. Max 3 different
places by default (rest should be explained in docs). Let us just agree
on 3 different ways to call an images.

A Dorset life for me
By Roger Guttridge; the illustration is by Becky Blake
Published in April '15
There was a time, in the distant days when I was a news reporter, when I was known to colleagues as a 'chaser of fire engines'. This may not have been intended as a compliment, but I chose to see it as one – as a tribute to my enthusiasm. I was, quite literally, the guy who saw a fire engine's blue flashing lights as a cue to perform a U-turn and set off in pursuit.
Deprived of a blue light or siren of my own, I was at a disadvantage. But if I lost sight of my quarry as it steamed through the East Dorset traffic, I reverted to plan B – following the telltale water-trail left as the fire engine's brimful tank sloshed its contents overboard at every turn and roundabout.
If the 'shout' (as the firemen term a call-out) turned out to be a false alarm or an innocuous chimney fire, I would return with my journalistic tail between my legs. But often I arrived ahead of the game – sometimes so far ahead that it brought me trouble as well as a story.
There was such a scenario one day in 1979: I collected my wife and two-year-old son from playschool when a Wimborne fire appliance went screaming by. I glanced at my watch. Whilst these days the Bournemouth Echo is printed overnight, in the 1970s our deadline was 12 noon. If I hurried, I might make the first edition.
'Sorry, can't go home yet – got to follow that,' I shouted as I performed my U-ey. Five minutes later we were at Whitesheet Plantation, an area of tall conifers between a giant refuse tip and a fishing lake. I'd covered numerous heath and forest fires before, not least during the infamous summer of 1976, but as forest blazes went, this was a cracker. Fanned by a strong wind, the flames leapt twice as high as the trees themselves, according to my story in the Echo (so it must be true).
Using all my experience as an habitual fire-chaser, I did a directional assessment of the vast smoke-cloud, parked the company Renault off-road and directly upwind and left the family while I went off to do my job. No mobile phones in those days, and no phone box at Whitesheet either. After a quick chat with a helpful fire chief, I headed for the nearest bungalow and borrowed their phone to dictate my story.
I was still dictating when the room suddenly went dark. Had day unexpectedly turned to night? Had there been an unscheduled eclipse of the sun? Either would have been sinister but for me the reality was even more ominous. I immediately realised what this meant: the wind had changed direction.
I hastily finished reading over my story and legged it back towards my makeshift parking bay. Now I was really worried. Not only was the area enveloped in smoke but the fire had done a U-turn of its own, jumping the road and setting light to vegetation on the other side – the side where I had left the car.
When I reached that point, there was no car or family to be seen – just a lot of scorched trees and bushes where they had been. Given that the wife didn't drive in those days, I couldn't decide whether to be relieved or alarmed. Where on earth had they gone? More importantly, were they safe?
A firefighter pointed east and I followed his directions. Eventually I spotted the car… and heard the story: 'When the wind changed I could see smoke behind the bungalow and then flames coming up behind it,' Mrs G recalls 36 years later. 'It got very dark as the smoke was blocking out the sun. Then people started walking past us and away from the area. I sat wondering when it would be time to get out of there, but expecting that you'd turn up at any moment. I was thinking we might have to leave the car and walk. I didn't know what to do. I felt very abandoned.'
Enter the British army – and a truckload of squaddies from the RAOC petrol centre at West Moors, who were helping with the firefighting.
'This very sooty, sweaty sergeant-major came over and said, "What are you doing here?"' says Mrs G. 'I told him my husband was a journalist covering the fire. He said, "In a few minutes this place isn't going to exist any more. You'd better get out of here." I told him I couldn't drive. Then he saw the key in the ignition.'
The RSM promptly leapt into the driver's seat, started the car and drove off as his troops broke into a chorus of, 'Cor! Go on, Sarge!' and other ribald military-speak.
'He drove us up the road to safety. But he wasn't very impressed with you. And when you finally arrived, you were in a panic because the car had disappeared. And when we went past the spot later, it was completely blackened.'
True. But at least we made the front page. ◗

Updates from the Field: January 2016

The high-lows of wet season: lush landscapes, abundant fruit and flowers, cooler evenings, biblical thunderstorms, knee-deep mud, moldy clothing, and all. Fall was full of hard work in the annual fields, an ever-growing appreciation for the lush diversity of this place, advances in projects both old and new, a close-knit family of volunteers, interns, and student groups, and an utter captivation in how quickly things have the capacity to evolve in this environment. We had more than 40 volunteers pass through our farm this season. Some staying only a couple weeks, and others making this place their home for a few months. We hosted 3 student-groups from gap-year education programs, Carpe Diem and Leap Now, which always have the capacity to re-invigorate life and work on the farm through the increase in numbers and upbeat energy of the programs.
For a brief while we basked in the beats of a farm-grown band, Tin Roof & the Corner Kids, whose albums may never be shelved, but whose memories will live on for quite some while. Being the tail-end of the planting season in this region, our fall also saw big pushes to get our annual fields planted. We filled 5 of our annual fields, estilo alley cropping, with Sorghum, a drought- and heat-tolerant grain that is especially important in food security conversations in arid and drought-susceptible regions. It's also the star ingredient in farm fresh banana pancakes! We also planted fields full of Quequisque, a local variety of Taro, that produces a pink, potato-like, and absolutely delicious veg.
In just this last months, we've seen a huge shift in the climate and it's clear the dry season is upon us. The air is drier, nights are cooler, and we haven't seen rain in weeks. Drier weather also means an up-kick in tourism on the island and we've shot up from a solid 7 to a steady 25 people on site. As our numbers rise, we've been kicking ass in the fields, clearing land for new structures, and getting creative with farm-decor. Bananas are coming into abundance once again, grapefruits are ripening on the tree, and fresh-squeezed limeade is a daily treat. We've officially reverted back to one of our favorite farm fitness activities- BUCKET WATERING! Aka sharing lots of labor-fueled love with small trees and plants in zone 1 of our farm. We're also less than 2 weeks out from our 11th annual Permaculture Design Course.
Project Update: Farm-to-Clinic trials its first farm-made medicines!
While the land below continues to be planted and cared for, our Natural Medicine Intern, Lynda Lawrence, has been working hard to process medicines from our farm's bounty. On site at Project Bona Fide, we have always put an emphasis on and held workshops and courses in natural medicine. With the initiation of the Farm-to-Clinic project we've begun a trial of more fresh-from-the-farm potions and give bi-weekly workshops in natural medicine to educate our on-site community about the power and uses of the herbs all around us.
The workshops include an overview of natural medicine and results and the making of one's own tincture. Tinctures are liquid extracts that are taken orally by mouth. They are most often extracted by alcohol. Alcoholic tinctures are a combination of plant matter and alcohol with an ethanol percentage of at least 25-60%. In our first batch of medical-grade tinctures, we've sourced our alcohol from a local supplier located just outside of Managua. The tinctures are sealed in an air-tight container (reused Flor de Caña bottles in this particular case) and allowed to sit for at least one month so that the medicinal properties can be extracted into the alcohol. The tincture dosage normally entails a few drops beneath the tongue 2-3 times per day.
Lynda, Project Bona Fide's first natural medicine intern, has also been working in Natural Doctors International (NDI)'s Integrative Healthcare clinic in Los Angeles, Ometepe, once a week to observe their needs and where Project Bona Fide can continue to plug in as the project expands. Just last weekend, she gathered a bunch of Bona Fide volunteers and headed out to the clinic to build their first herbal garden bed. We used abandoned Spanish tiles to make the raised bed and planted it full of lemongrass, aloe, chile, basil (criolla, lemon, and holy), vetiver, and nopal. The bed will be used for demonstration purposes and for patient treatment at the clinic. We are looking forward to continuing to collaborate with the clinic, trial our farm-made medicines, and educate individuals on the power of plants!
Infrastructural Updates: Tent platforms, aula crash pad, upcycled houseplants, new signage, etc.
Due to low occupancy and its relevant distance, we've lost our coconut alley dorm to a war-on-termites. It was quite the loss for a high occupancy wet season, but we made due with turning our aula (classroom) into a temporary crash pad. We added hammocks and built some new bamboo beds that housed volunteers and student groups when our numbers were high. While the aula crash pad made for increased sleeping spaces, a mega-bed movie theater, and additional seating for workshops and Friday meetings, we certainly missed having its wide-open space for yoga and the like. Having entered into the dry season, the ideal time for construction projects, we've cleared land for a new tent/bamboo bed platform off the pathway towards the Loveshack, where the single-space tent platform was located before. It should be finished in just a few weeks and will be able to house 6-8 people!
One of our long-term volunteers, Grace Dennis, has been on a succulent house decor binge for the last few weeks, improving ambience and table settings, and also making good-use of discarded bottles and cans. A huge fan of succulents, she's been utilizing the nopal, aloe vera, and espíritu santo found on site (pictured below). Another couple of long-term volunteers took on making a new garden bed located right next to the kitchen for easy access. Full of rosemary, lemongrass, tropical oregano, oregano menudo, and long beans, it'll be ready for pickin' in just a month or two more! The potential for projects is endless on site and we've been truly lucky these past months to have had volunteers who are really psyched to go above and beyond to get involved in the farm.
It also came to our attention this month that the sign at the bottom of the property has broken in half. We apologize to anyone and everyone who has had a harder time at finding our farm entrance. We have a newly painted sign, thanks to the Rousseau sisters, that just needs a few more weeks of paint drying before it'll be nailed up down below. There are also new signs on the property differentiating trails that lead to private property from those that lead to the farm kitchen… another improvement we hope will help get visitors where they need to go!
Plant Power: Andrographis
Androphraphis (Andrographis paniculata) is an annual herbaceous plant in the Acanthaceae family. Native to India and Sri Lanka, it is widely cultivated in southern and southeastern asia where its traditional usage is to treat infections and disease. The herb grows erect to a height of 30-11 cm and has a slender, dark green stem and lance-shaped leaves. The herb is extremely bitter to taste and is referred to as Maha-tita, "the king of bitters" in parts of India. As an Ayurveda herb, it is known as Kalmeg or Kalamegha, meaning "dark cloud". The herb has a number of reported medicinal usage for treating symptoms of upper respiratory infection, ulcerative colitis, and rheumatic symptoms and has primarily been studied to support immune system health by supporting healthy levels of immune cells in the blood. On-site it's been successful in its treatment of bacterial infections and parasites. Due to its strong medicinal quality and its treatment of common gut infections, it is one of the 2 plants we've begun propagating on the medicinal land. Through one of our on-site medicinal workshops we produced our first batch of Andrographis tinctures which we're already using on site and in the clinic. While it isn't the tastiest of herbs, it does do the trick!
A Day in the Life: Lynda Lawrence, Natural Medicine Intern:
5:30- I wake up in my hammock in the Aula by a combination of our farm dog, Leila, squealing and licking my face and the soft growl of howler monkeys in the nearby trees. I quickly throw on whatever cleanish clothes I can find as I am greeted by Noor, Leila's brother who walks me to the Aula every night and sleeps on a yoga mat next to my hammock. Then, with unbrushed hair and sleepy eyes, the puppies race me to the kitchen to start the fuego for my morning coffee from our head cook's farm, so yum.
6:30- Coffee in tow, I settle myself into the hand built cob bench in the kitchen reading my latest books about natural health and wait for my co-volunteers to settle in and fill me in about some scary creature they encountered the night before.
As the sun seeps in the kitchen, I help Paula in the kitchen to make my early breakfast as I will be headed to the clinic for the day and need to catch the early bus. The clinic is run by a naturopathic doctor from Portland, Oregon who moved to the island two years ago with his family.
7:30- Paula prepares me a plate of her amazing gallo pinto, maduras, huevo frito and an assortment of fresh fruit. She sends me off with a tupperware of goodies for lunch and I'm ready to embark! I leave from the back gate and try to escape without the puppies seeing me so they don't follow me to town.
8:30- Over the river and through the rice fields, I arrive at the bus stop. I patiently wait for the bus with a perfect view of people watching. An array of pigs, dogs, and chickens stroll by looking for scraps while parents walk their children to school.
As I hear honking in the distance, I spring up because I know the bus is coming. It rolls up decked out in bright colors, tassels, shiny rims, loud reggaeton and the name "Priscilla" across the windshield accompanied by a Jesus decal. The bus barely slows down as the money collector holds out his hand and pulls me into the bus- I'm on! The bus is filled with people, children, farm tools and a large TV with a reggaeton music video playing. The bus takes us through the island with a beautiful view of playa Santo Domingo , lush green forests, and endless banana trees. People come and go and finally I arrive in Los Angeles where I have to yell "Espera!" as I push my way through the bus and the money collector once again makes sure I don't just fall off the bus (which has happened).
9:45- I walk down the street of the clinic accompanied by a parade of cows. I enter the colorful clinic where Dawson is talking to a patient. After an exchange of "holas" I head to the back of the clinic and I enter the magical world of herbal medicine complete with every book I could ever imagine reading on natural health and herbs. My day includes researching usage of herbs for recurring ailments, helping translate Spanish and occasionally giving 84 year old women massages. Being "la ayudante" I have learned so much about health in general and how much lifestyle plays into it. It's been really interesting to see how the culture of Ometepe plays into their health and how to effectively help them change their lifestyles for better health.
3:30- I say my goodbyes to Dawson and run to catch the bus. I pass the cows and stop at the pulpería for some chocolate milk in a bag. It may sound unappealing but when you are tired, sweaty and waitIng for a while it is absolutely refreshing. I hear honking in the distance and in rolls " Vanessa". The bus slows and a hand from the back of the bus extends and I hop up into the sea of people crammed into the bus.
The bus takes us through the banana tree forests with stunning views of volcan concepcion and Maderas that remain breathtaking no matter how many times I've done the drive. I watch the sun set behind Maderas and The entire sky turns a pink that contrasts the green landscape under it.
5:30- I arrive in Balgüe just as it's getting dark and I hurry off the bus to get home. On my way through the forest I run into at least 5 people I know. I see Marina, our head cook, who is sitting in her front yard with her daughters enjoying the last seconds of sun. I get home in time for a dark cold shower and a homage meal cooked by my co volunteers. We end the day telling stories from our day and making bracelets under our solar lights. Buenas noches.
Inspiration: "Our bodies are not distinct from the bodies of plants and animals, with which we are involved in the cycles of feeding and the intricate companionships of ecological systems and of the spirit. They are not distinct from the earth, the sun and moon, and the other heavenly bodies. It is therefore absurd to approach the subject of health piecemeal with a departmentalized band of specialists. A medical doctor uninterested in nutrition, in agriculture, in the wholesomeness of mind and spirit is as absurd as a farmer who is uninterested in health. Our fragmentation of this subject cannot be our cure, because it is our disease." Wendell Berry

The past three months have been full of the buena onda (good vibes!) and awesome visitors and volunteers that this place tends to attract, as well as some monumental steps for new projects at Bona Fide. We had the pleasure of hosting some 35 volunteers from around the world, we had our first student group from Madison University join us on-site, we welcomed the arrival of our new Animal Husbandry and Medicinal Garden Interns, and we hosted a one-week visit from one of our favorite gap-year programs, Where There Be Dragons.
We've also had a BIG team push to get our new Farm-to-Clinic Ometepe medicinal herb project funded, off the ground, and running. The medicinal herb garden plot is located at the very bottom of Bona Fide's property, across the main road near the lake. We had a very successful June Fundraising Campaign on GlobalGiving.com that raised nearly 70% of the projected budget for the project's first full year and rewarded us a permanent listing on Global Giving's website. We're still feeling the gratitude for everyone that played a role in this fundraiser's success.

Sacuanjoche, the national flower of Nicaragua
September is moving fast, the rains have returned after a longer-than-usual canícula (brief mid-wet-season drought), and the farm is blossoming in every corner. This is a majestic time here on the farm and on the island in general. It's a low season for tourism and a high season for rainfall, making this island's wild lushness evermore present. With lower numbers of volunteers and interns on the farm, it's an ideal time for increased self-reflection, assessment of current and pending projects, and infrastructural maintenance that's accessible with lower site occupancy. Mango and avocado season has come to an end, starfruit and calala (passionfruit) are dropping all around us, and we're anxiously waiting the ripening of the citrus that are poppin' off all over the place!

By Lee Cherry, Animal Husbandry Intern
At Project Bona Fide there never is a dull moment. My day starts around 3:30AM when our naked-neck rooster starts his cockadoodledoo-ing letting everyone know he's awake. I usually fall asleep half an hour later, just to be woken up by an eerie growling echo coming from the volcano. It sounds like the mixture of a T-rex howling, Tibetan throat singing, and the volcano rumbling. This sound belongs to all the troops of howler monkeys that populate the biosphere, and the way the landscape is makes this sound even more the strange. I swear this sound is what gives me some really crazy dreams.
By around 6:30AM my alarm sounds, but I often sleep through it. Luckily, before the morning meeting at 6:45, Sabrina my coordinator wakes me up to get me out of my hammock. Morning meeting consists of the chores we will be doing until breakfast at 8:00. I am an "intern," which has come from a long line of evolving positions starting with "the bee intern" to now the "animal husbandry intern," to solve the problem of the chickens not laying any eggs. So my morning starts with my search for termite nests to get some protein for the chicks and Harold the female turkey.
I start by walking down the trail behind the garden with a bag for the termites and a machete. I usually stop at a coconut tree, twist one off, and open it up and get my daily vitamin dose from some coconut water and meat. Then I continue on until I find some termites, stopping only for the occasional melocotón (starfruit) or mango snack. I chop off a termite mound and head back up to the chicken coop, accompanied by some banana leaf plates to feed the chicks.
Breakfast comes around and we are fed with gourmet farm food, where about 60% of the food comes from the farm. Recently the chickens have been giving some eggs, and we also get some from local farms in the area, mainly Las Cuchillas, a nearby farming community completely devoid of roads where everyone rides horses or walks. So we get homemade sorghum pancakes and a fried egg, coupled with gallo pinto and a plethora of delicious tropical fruits like guanabana (anona) or papaya. Tea is also often prepared with lemongrass, cúrcuma (turmeric) or ginger, and our incredible farm honey.
The rest of the day can consist of digging swales, planting fruits to moving around bags of sand. Here we like to call this "Farm Fitness," because each bucket of dirt you carry is an incredible workout, but you don't realize it until the next day when your abs and shoulders feel like you were in the gym for 4 hours.
After work we get an equally amazing lunch, sometimes of the locally caught fish, guapote or sábalo. We often have veggies like chayote and carrots simmered in homemade coconut milk, fried plantain chips, and a plethora of other magical concoctions the cooks think up.
I usually spend the time after lunch napping or researching things about permaculture, and learning new songs on the banjo or jamming with fellow volunteer Phil. Then around 4:00 I head down to the high school soccer field to go to soccer practice. The trail there is awesome because I walk through rice and corn fields and get to watch all the campesinos plant and harvest and have an amazing view of Volcán Concepción the whole time I walk.
As I walk into town I go through the neighborhood and see Don David, one of the coolest guys in town. He is a builder who works down on Chris's property and is in charge of constructing Chris's new guest house. I also pass by the house of Marina, the head cook, and get an "Hola Barraco" every time I walk past.
Once I get to practice I see all of my Balgüe homies. There are about 17 of us on the team, several of whom work on the farm. The soccer field is filled with people playing baseball, other men's and women's soccer teams, pigs running around, chickens pecking the ground, and street dogs passing out in the middle of where we are scrimmaging. Here I get to practice my Spanish and soccer all at once; it is awesome. We usually do some ridiculous exercises like leap frog and some inefficient stretching exercises for a couple minutes, then go immediately into scrimmaging for the rest of the practice. I get to watch the sun set over the volcano on the soccer field, which gives a great hue pinks and bright blues over the active volcano, which often has sulfur smoke surrounding it and making it look like a flying saucer.
After practice I walk back with some of my teammates and then walk back up the trail through the woods and fields, often using the light on my watch to find my way. I have pretty much learned to memorize the trail by now, because I am pretty much doing it blind. Once I arrive back at the farm, a volunteer has cooked dinner and it usually is pretty awesome unless someone puts in andrographis into the stir fry, which is a medicinal plant that's so bitter you would think you just ate tree sap.
After dinner we might drink some wine brought up from town and jam, or do some reading. Then clean up the kitchen area, and get some sleep by 8:30pm.

Noteworthy Articles and First Data Reviews
Better Business Bureau: F rating BBB Complaints and Reviews
Top Ten Reviews – First Data gets 7.2 out of 10 stars on Top Ten Reviews. The company rates high for the variety of merchant products available to its customers. First Data also has a high applicant approval rating and great customer service. The primary disadvantage, however, is the price merchants will pay for the service. While the processing rates are pretty average, there are credit card terminal fees (they push the 4-year leases and rentals), line fees (if you use a wireless terminal), PCI compliance fees, statement fees and even a pricey POS system that costs in excess of $1,000 to get going. If you remove price from the equation, First Data would probably rate much higher. "Despite its flaws, First Data is a competent and complete merchant account service. If you can get past its high recurring monthly fees and graduating transaction fees, you'll find working with the company a pleasant experience. This is in large part due to an excellent and always-available customer service desk." [Read more ]
Merchant Maverick – First Data is the largest credit card processor in the industry. Their companies who resell First Data's services (some of whom Fit Business also reviewed) are peddling a product with an ample menu of services and some of the best and mot knowledgeable customer service reps in the industry. First Data offers plenty of resources, great information and a variety of extra services… all for a price. And that seems to be their primary kryptonite. The service certainly isn't cheap. The fees rate right at the top of customer complaints along with withheld funds and account terminations. "While they do have surprisingly good quality customer service, you'll never get the kind of intimate attention from First Data that you can find from a smaller company. If you run a small business and want that kind of attention, I'd recommend you look elsewhere." [Read more ]
CardPaymentOptions – CardPaymentOptions.com gave First Data a rating of C- for overall service as a merchant service provider. First Data doesn't engage in deceptive pricing practices, but the company also doesn't make some of the more important terms of service readily available for shoppers. Not only that, but its massive army of resellers are often named in customer complaints for failing to mention all the fees that will be assessed or skipping over things like the lease and contract terms. With hundreds and hundreds of complaints logged on the Better Business Bureau website along with other review sites, First Data has gotten a reputation for engaging in shady practices, but again, that may be a matter of choosing unscrupulous resellers. "Since First Data primarily acts as a "behind-the-scenes" card processor for most resellers, a merchant can have completely different experiences depending on which reseller was chosen." [Read more ]

On 20 September 2008 a groundbreaking ceremony was held by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in preparation for the construction of a new temple in San Salvador, El Salvador. The temple was first announced on 7 November 2007. The site for the temple is located at Bulevar Diego de Holguín, Antiguo Cuscatlán, Departamento de La Libertad, El Salvador.
Located in the affluent Antiguo Cuscatlán district, southwest of San Salvador, the three-story San Salvador El Salvador Temple will stand near the Multiplaza Panamericana Mall with the stunning backdrop of the mighty San Salvador volcano. The sacred edifice will be surrounded by attractive grounds that offer a calming retreat to all San Salvadorians.[1]
The San Salvador El Salvador Temple is the first temple to be built in El Salvador and the fourth to be built in Central America. There are approximately 100,000 members of the Church in El Salvador.

The above pic is the Deer I hit while riding with the lads. If you have ever been down the road that goes from port Elmsley to Rideau Ferry you will know where I am talking about. It was about 2:30pm when it jumped out in front of me. I had no chance of getting out of the way. The thing came out of nowhere and I had no where to go but into it head on. The R1 I was riding at the time was sold afterwards and now I have a Gixxer 1000. I just hope that if anyone else ever hits a Deer they will fair out as well as I did. I bruised my ankle and right side of my body basically, with no broken bones. Conor and Trevor were following me at the time and trevor almost hit it after I did. He told me afterwards that the Deer did about 6 360's in the air after being hit. Keep your eyes open at all times and scan the ditches for them.
Rob has his new Gixxer and the first week he had it he dumped it doing a burnout. Very upsetting. He just had it painted (very custom looking).

Great Danes & Great Brews!
For our 2017 calendar, we teamed up with 12 amazing craft breweries and cideries from the Charlotte, NC area. North Carolina has become well known for having many of the best craft brews in the entire country, and we don't think we're too biased in saying that we have the best of the best featured right here in our calendar! Each month's photo was shot on location at a different brewery that supports rescue.
As always, all of the proceeds from calendar sales go directly toward vet bills and ongoing medical needs for the rescued dogs in our care. Every single dog incurs vet bills. Heartworm tests, vaccines, surgeries, treatments - whatever they need, they get. Generally, we have no less than $300 spent on healthy dogs, and it can go up into the thousands for those who come to us with major injuries or illnesses.
We believe all dogs deserve a chance, regardless of age or medical condition. When we see a dog in need, we help it. We choose to count wags and kisses instead of pennies. Puppies get adopted faster, and healthy dogs have lower vet bills, but all dogs deserve healing and love. Your support is why we can do this!
We are grateful for the support of these wonderful businesses this year. Special thanks to AKBS Photo for donating photography services for all 12 photo shoots! Check out these breweries. Great people make great brews! Thank you!

The Mecha Pig[note 1] (メカブタ[1] Mekabuta?) is the Master Robot of Green Hills Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit). It is a ball-rolling pig robot built by Dr. Robotnik, and is the fourth boss of the game.
It is a robotic pig modeled after a sumo wrestler, with the ability to curl into a ball (imitating Sonic's Spin Attack) and roll or float from one side of the screen to the other. While rolled up, he is invulnerable to Sonic's attacks.
Attack pattern
The boss battle takes place on a grassy field with a dip in the middle. The Mecha Pig will stand on either side of the dip and perform a sumo stomp and snort steam, after which it will curl into a ball.

"When times get hard, we need a whole lot of what it is that reminds us of who we are." – Wynton Marsalis, Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center
Both the arts and charitable giving are powerful reminders of who we are as children of God. Music for Mission is a unique series that offers concerts free of charge to the community given by outstanding musical artists while raising money and awareness for local and regional mission organizations.
Throughout the year, First Presbyterian Church will welcome world-renowned artists to offer a concert in the Church's sanctuary. The concert will be open to the public and free of charge. During intermission at each concert, the partnering mission organization will make a brief presentation to the audience about its work and will be available after the show to offer more information and answer any questions. During the evening, a "love offering" will be collected. Through the generosity of the concert series patrons, 100% of the offerings received at the concerts will be given to the partnering mission organization.
Music for Mission is an outreach of the Worship and Arts and Mission ministry teams of the Session of First Presbyterian Church.

Vic Fangio has been a defensive coordinator in the NFL since 1995. He's known as one of the top defensive minds in the game, yet that wasn't always the consensus opinion. In fact, his first 11 years as a DC - during which he led the defenses of the Carolina Panthers (1995-1998), Indianapolis Colts (1999-2001) and Houston Texans (2002-2005) - were fraught with extreme ups and downs.
He led Top 10 NFL defenses in is first two years with the Panthers, including the No. 2 overall unit in 1996. Yet things began to quickly unravel and by 1998, the Panthers defense ranked 28th in the league. With the Colts, Fangio's defenses never ranked higher than 15th and he was fired after his unit finished 31st in the league in 2001.
Things didn't improve with the Texans, where his units never finished higher than 16th and twice finished 31st in total defense.
In 2006, it was unclear if Fangio would ever again get a shot to lead an NFL defense. He worked in Baltimore as a defensive assistant for a few years, then as linebackers coach, before taking a collegiate DC job at Stanford under Jim Harbaugh. During that time, Fangio got his bearings and when he took over as coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers in 2011, he was on the precipice of becoming a premiere NFL coordinator.
In four seasons with the 49ers, Fangio had nearly unprecedented success. In his first year in San Francisco, his unit finished 2nd overall, 2nd in points allowed and 1st in run defense. In 2012: 3rd overall, 4th vs. pass, 3rd vs. run, 2nd in points allowed. In 2013: 5th overall, 7th vs. pass, 4th vs. pass, 3rd in points allowed. In 2014: 5th overall, 5th vs. pass, 7th vs. run, 10th in points allowed.
It's necessary to look back at Fangio's recent success when attempting to gauge how good the Chicago Bears defense will be in 2016. Specifically, can the Bears be a Top 10 defense under Fangio this season?
That's a laughable proposition to outsiders but when we look closer, a Top 10 Bears defense this year should be expected.
Consider last season, when the Bears had two inept inside linebackers, were dangerously inexperienced at safety, were nursing injuries to all three of their top edge rushers and were depleted along the defensive line. Yet Fangio still cobbled together a defense that finished 14th overall, 4th vs. pass, 20th vs. run and 22nd in points allowed.
Those numbers might not jump off the page but they are impressive considering the dearth of defensive talent on last year's roster.
This off-season, GM Ryan Pace made a concerted effort to raise the level of talent on defense. He added the top two free-agent inside linebackers in Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman and a hulking interior defender in Akiem Hicks, then used a first-round pick on speed rusher Leonard Floyd, along with three mid-round secondary players, a third-round interior pass rusher and a fourth-round linebacker with long-term starter potential.
In addition, both Lamarr Houston and Willie Young are 100-percent healthy and not, like last year, coming off severe lower body injuries. Those two excelled in Fangio's defense after getting healthy in the second half last season, combing for 12.5 sacks between Weeks 9-17. Imagine what those two can accomplish alongside Pernell McPhee in a season of full health. And if Floyd and Jonathan Bullard bring even more value on passing downs, the Bears should improve dramatically in team sacks - they ranked 22nd in sacks last year.
For all those reasons, it's not absurd to believe the Bears can be a Top 10 pass-rushing unit next season, which will dramatically reduce the pressure on a secondary that still has a number of question marks.
Yet there's hope for the secondary as well. Kyle Fuller improved substantially in the second half of the 2015 season, while Tracy Porter resurrected his career under defensive backs coach Ed Donatell. And if just one of those young draft picks steps up this year, the secondary, which was Top 5 in the league last year, should stabilize considerably.
For the Bears to be a Top 10 defense this year, they only need move up four spots in the rankings. Considering all the off-season additions and improved health, as well as the fact that Fangio is still in charge, if they don't develop into a Top-10 unit, it will actually be disappointing.
Fangio has proven capable of creating elite units when given the right players and his defense was infused with fresh new talent at every single position. If he can build a Top 14 unit with Shea McClellin in charge, he should be able to mold a Top 10, and potentially Top 5 unit, with guys like Trevathan, Freeman, Hicks, Floyd and Bullard now in the fold.
If and when that happens, they will have once again earned the right to be called the Monsters of the Midway.null

Sagamore Hills -- After an hour-long executive session Aug. 29, the Northfield Center Sagamore Hills Fire District Board unanimously authorized a motion to ask Macedonia to provide paramedics to fill vacant shifts at the department until it dissolves Sept. 14. The city will bill the fire district for the services.
Sagamore Hills Trustee Dave DePasquale called for the emergency meeting, citing staffing shortages due to the pending dissolution of the district.
"We need to discuss this and take action ASAP. We cannot go the next three weeks wondering who will cross their name off the schedule next," DePasquale wrote in an Aug. 27 email to district officials.
"This becomes not only a safety issue but a legal question as it relates to the 'Blue Flu'," he wrote. "These men who are now taking their names off the schedule are leaving us shorthanded. It is my understanding that the so called 'Blue Flu' by safety forces/first responders is illegal in the state of Ohio."
NCSHFD Fire Chief Frank Risko told the News Leader Aug. 29 that "any staffing problems we had, we covered and no calls were missed."
Risko said he doesn't feel that firefighters are intentionally leaving the district short-handed, adding he believes there is an unspoken agreement amongst the firefighters that they won't leave until the district is dissolved.
"Nobody is walking out and saying 'To heck with it, I quit,'" Risko said.
However, DePasquale told the News Leader there was no paramedic on duty Aug. 27 and the district was short staffed until 3 p.m. on Aug. 28.
"That is unacceptable to me; you can't run a place with one guy or without a paramedic," DePasquale said. "I want to make sure our residents have coverage so I have asked Macedonia to bring in guys to staff our station."
DePasquale proposed firefighters from Macedonia work from the Northfield Center fire station on Route 82 instead of responding via mutual aid from the city. The substation in Sagamore Hills Township Park is not expected to be completed for a couple more weeks.
Macedonia Mayor Joe Migliorini told the News Leader Aug. 29 the city is willing to staff the district, and said doing so won't affect the contract in place with Sagamore Hills, which will not begin until Sept. 15.
"We certainly aren't going to leave anybody in a situation where they are not covered, so if they need the coverage we will be there to help the communities get through this process."
DePasquale said Brecksville was contacted for mutual aid once over the weekend and Migliorini confirmed Macedonia also responded to one call for the township last week.
Migliorini said that with the addition of six new full-time firefighters Aug. 25, the city now has the staffing to be able to call people in and handle the additional calls.

This is just so sad. The two townships elected officals have put the fire department through so much and now they are just dragging them through the mud. I hope people remember this come election time. The individuals gave their lives for you all and look what is happening to them and yet you continue to treat them like garabage.

Aluminum has a high strength-to-weight ratio, and its patina is the same color as the metal. Therefore, many industries use aluminum, in place of steel or plastic, for strong, lightweight parts that resist corrosion. However, the aluminum surface does oxidize, and oxidation weakens the metal. Scratching and incising the softened, oxidized layer creates undulation in the patina, but the surface color will not vary, unless you rub pigment over the incisions. Aluminum oxidation hastens with an abundance of ions washed over the aluminum surface.
Things You'll Need
- Salt
- Water
- Wire brush
Mix equal parts salt and water to create a saline slurry. The water partially dissolves the salt, allowing the slurry to stick to the aluminum.
Rub the slurry over the aluminum surface and allow it to set for one week.
Clean the aluminum surface with water and a wire brush. Remove all of the crusted salt.
Rub the slurry over the aluminum surface again. Do not disturb the surface for one additional week.
Rinse the aluminum surface with water to dissolve the remaining salt. Allow the aluminum to dry. A patina, from oxidation, will have formed on the aluminum surface, although there will not be a change in the color or finish of the surface.
Tips & Warnings
- This method of oxidizing aluminum is not the same as anodizing aluminum. Anodizing is a process of artificial oxidation using an acid and electricity to create a strong surface on the metal. Dye can be added to the acid to change the surface color of anodized aluminum. Anodizing is dangerous, because of the introduction of acid and electricity.

Foods That Affect Gallbladder Disease Symptoms
Consuming a nutrient-rich, healthy diet is important when you have gallbladder disease. Your gallbladder is an important organ that stores bile, a digestive fluid, formed in your liver. Bile helps your body break down and absorb fat; the bile travels from your gallbladder to your small intestine when you consume food. Types of gallbladder disease are inflamed gallbladder and gallstones. Symptoms include pain in the upper right portion of your abdomen, pain after you eat, nausea, vomiting and appetite loss. You should be aware of specific foods that can trigger or worsen symptoms, and limit or avoid these foods.
Refined Foods
Refined foods are those that have been stripped of their bran component. The result is a white grain that has lost many of its vitamins, minerals and fiber. The University of Maryland Medical Center recommends that you restrict or avoid eating refined foods when you have gallbladder disease. These foods include white pasta, white bread, white rice, cakes, donuts and pastries. Since these foods contain less fiber, they lead to less satiety when you eat them. If you do not feel satiated upon eating, you may overeat and be at risk for weight gain. Gaining unhealthy weight can contribute to gallstone formation and aggravate your condition.
Common Food Allergens
Gallbladder problems may be triggered or aggravated by food allergens. You should avoid them since they have the potential to irritate your body and worsen the symptoms you already experience. Foods to be cautious of include dairy products, soy, corn, wheat and products with added preservatives. You may need to monitor your intake and reaction to these foods to see how they affect you.
Fatty Foods
A diet low in fat may help relieve gallbladder disease symptoms. If you have gallbladder disease, the organ cannot function properly in fat digestion, so the consumption of fatty foods may contribute to and worsen your symptoms. Foods high in fat include commercial baked goods, fatty cuts of meat and poultry, french fries and margarine.
Alcohol And Caffeine
The University of Maryland Medical Center advises not drinking alcohol if you have gallbladder disease. Alcohol can have a dehydrating effect on the body and contribute to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and bowel disruption. As for caffeine, some evidence indicates that consuming caffeinated coffee may lower the risk of gallstone formation. Studies are not conclusive, however. Consult your doctor about appropriate caffeine intake.

We lost everything in Hurricane Sandy. After we rebuilt our house, we went to Home Depot and bought a refrigerator, stove, washing machine, and dishwasher. The dishwasher arrived badly damaged, the delivery guys tried to slip it in without us noticing, we sent it back. The compressor in the refrigerator went on day 4, Home Depot replaced it. On day 12, the washing machine started leaking out the front. Home Depot refuses to replace it. They want to repair it. Really? Repair a brand new $500 washing machine? 3 out of 4 appliances we bought were damaged or defective. Way to treat Hurricane victims, Home Depot! I will NEVER buy anything from Home Depot again!

Hi, Could you tell me where your properties are and what type of properties are they?Answered on Sep 9 2011, Report content
That depends on what area your properties are based and who you are looking to rent to, students/families etc. Can you add anymore information?Answered on Sep 9 2011, Report content
It really depends on the locality of the properties. Many agents will try and compete with each other so it is best to speak to a few to compare prices. The general rule of thumb is anywhere between 5-10% for a fully managed service.Answered on Oct 12 2011, Report content
