Last night was comfort food night. When I left work, the weather was quite raw feeling – drizzling, cool and a bit windy and guess what? I forgot to wear a coat when I left the house – it was warmer when I left in the morning. So this was a perfect night for a heartier meal. This recipe Pasta e Fagioli is more of a soup, but I kept adding ingredients and before I knew it, it was like a stew (and to please the DIY Guy, I added ground beef). Either way it was quite tasty and warmed my bones!
I have a new tip for you – well – more of a new tip to me but I think you will like it. Don't cook your pasta noodles in the soup (stew). Boil them separately and add to the individual bowls as you are scooping. This helps if you have leftover soup as noodles tend to get mushy and magically grow when they sit in soup too long. For our dinner I cooked only what I thought we would need and when I reheat the leftovers, I'll make a small batch of noodles again.
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 3 celery stalks sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 28 oz. crushed tomatoes
- 15 oz. can diced tomatoes (undrained)
- 1 can red kidney beans rinsed and drained
- 1 can white kidney beans rinsed and drained
- 1 can beef broth
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 bay leave
- salt and pepper
- 8 oz. cooked Ditalini pasta
We topped ours off with a bit a pecorino romano cheese. Hope you enjoy this recipe!

Exterminators San Antonio
Hiring A Professional to Take Care of Pest Control in Your Home
There are countless pest control chemicals and products available at your local hardware store, and it's tempting to address issues with ants, bees, and mice yourself. However, it's always better to call in the professionals and have them handle the problem. It will cost a little more initially, but it will save you a great deal of money in the long run. visit our website for Pest control questions
Do you Know What Pest you are Treating?
You're looking at a steady invasion of ants in your house. They're large, black, and not afraid of people. You head to the store and buy ant bait, but is it the right kind? Pavement and carpenter ants look a lot alike, but they require different treatments. The most common ant baits available in stores are for tiny sugar ants and won't kill their larger cousins. The professionals take the time to determine the best treatment for your particular problem, so you will save time, frustration, and money.
Where are They Coming from?
The first step is determining what kind of invader you are fighting, but the next step is figuring out where they are coming from. Without finding their entry point and closing it off, you will just be fighting a losing battle that could cost you far more than professional pest control services. The experts will inspect your home to find out why it is so attractive to the pests. They will seal off entry points, and advise you on other changes that should be made to keep them out.
Rest Easy with a Warranty
Nothing is more frustrating than treating for pests and then finding that more are alive and well. If you have handled the treatment yourself, then you will have to go back to the store and spend more money. If you have hired the professionals, then you just have to make a phone call. Some pests can be difficult to exterminate and may require multiple treatments, but a reputable company will stand behind their work with a warranty.
More Effective Treatment
Some chemicals are so strong that you need special training to use them. These are not available at your local store, but they are used by professional pest control companies. They are stronger, more effective, and last longer. When you make the investment in expert services, you can be confident that your pest problem will soon be under control so you can relax in your own home.
It's Safer
Some pests, like bees and wasps, can become aggressive when you start spraying near the nest. Professional exterminators will send you to the safety of your home while they work with aggressive pests. In addition to being safe from the pests, you will also remain a safe distance away from any potentially dangerous chemicals.
When you see a trail of ants in the living room or notice that bees seem to be living in your attic, you may be tempted to save money by exterminating them yourself. However, you will save time, frustration, and money by letting the professionals do it. Their treatments are more effective because they have the knowledge and access to better treatments, and you will also have the benefit of a good warranty.
Texas Termite Control
You might know of a lot of your neighbors who have a Texas Termite Control technician come to their home to check things out. You might have even thought that this would be a good idea for yourself, but you don't know exactly why you should take this step. Well here are some very good reasons why you should at least make a phone call to set up a consult.
First and foremost, you need to understand what you are dealing with, and what you are up against. The termite by itself is small. It looks like a small ant with wings. It eats cellulose, which is the fiber that creates wood. Now of course one tiny termite by itself isn't going to do much harm. But imagine over 60,000 termites eating away at your home. Now you can imagine the damage that can come by the way of over 60,000 or more hungry termites. They are simply doing what termites do, they eat wood.
Now where do these termites find their wooden food source? Well, they can set up shop in the trees near your home. As a matter of fact, the same trees that might have enticed you to buy your home, might be the same trees that are a hotel for termites. Now don't think for one minute that these termites are content to stay in the trees. They will go for marches. Where do you think that they will end up with your home so close to the trees? It should be becoming very clear to you now as to why you'd need a Texas Termite Control company for the outside and the foundation of your home.
You might have heard of the horror stories of homes that collapsed because of termite infestation. These aren't urban legends these stories are sadly very true. Even if the house doesn't collapse, a homeowner will have to spend thousands of dollars in replacing the beams and foundation of their home. And this is alongside having to treat the home for termite infestation. So if things aren't crystal clear to you now about why you need a Texas Termite Control company, heaven help you.
A good termite control company will first come out to your home, and inspect the home, and the surrounding property. They will either advise you if you need treatment for termites, or they will tell you if you need to set up a schedule for regular inspections. Here's something else to think about; even if you don't have termites, how do you know that your neighbors don't? Again, the termites aren't going to stick to their territory. They will roam to where they can find food. Every home and tree on your block is a food source for them. So make sure that you get a San Antonio Pest Control technician to your home now. An ounce of prevention now will stave off a horrific home repair bill later, or worse. Visit our Website @ Pest Control in San AntonioRead More

Keeping you up to speed
Home>Tips and Advice>How to get your motorbike ready for spring
If, like most riders, you put your motorbike into hibernation for the winter, then now is the time to get it out again ready for the spring. But however tempted you may be, you can't simply jump back on and ride off; there are a number of important checks that you need to do to make sure that you and your bike are safe for the new season.
• The first thing to do is check that your motorcycle insurance is up to date and covers you and your bike correctly. This includes notifying your motorcycle insurance provider of any changes, such as speeding points, that have happened over the winter.
• Next, you should perform a visual inspection of your bike to assess its overall condition. Are there any oil leaks or other leaks that have happened over the winter? Have the tyres gone down and/or perished while your bike has been in storage?
• You will probably have to recharge the battery after a long period without a ride, so you need to plan ahead before your first ride. You should also check all the major levels on the bike, such as oil, coolant, brake fluid etc, to ensure everything is topped up appropriately.
Before you start your motorbike's engine for the first time, you should gently roll the bike a few yards. This will tell you if anything has seized, such as the brake levers or the throttle. Rolling the bike will also help you to check the drive chain for slack and tension.
Lubricate any levers or grips that are sticking before you start the bike. You may also need to lubricate the stand to get it to move smoothly after being locked in place for so long.
When you first start your bike after a long layoff, you should allow the engine a few minutes to warm up before you rev it. You can use this time to check the lights, indicators and dashboard warning lights that only operate when the bike is running.
Once the bike has been running for a few minutes, rev the engine to get everything moving, then turn it all off and check the bike over thoroughly once again for any leaks or irregularities.
Once you are sure that everything is in order, you can take your motorbike out for its first ride of the new season. However, you should only take it for a short run to begin with, before checking everything one final time. A short test run like this is important, not only for the bike, but also for you as a rider. After several months, it will inevitably take a little while to get used to riding again. A short test run will give you the chance to reacquaint yourself before you set off for your first big spring run.

Hi ya'll, I was on here posting a few months ago that I was looking for Affiliate and Internet marketing DVD's to resell, after a long search there doesn't appear to be many which are readily available so since I studied film and TV and worked on film/music video sets, It dawned on me why don't I team up with an expert in making money from affiliates and internet marketing and create a product which I'll have resell rights to.
Well I'm looking for any gurus out there based in europe who have the opportunity to make money by gaining free DVD resell and duplicate rights, so I'll take on all the production costs, we both get resell rights, the other person gets a high quality dvd product to sell without spending a penny, though I get to use their knowledge as DVD content...If anyone is interested send me a private message and we'll do business,

The 5K iMac Just Got a Little Cheaper, Plus a New 15-Inch Macbook Pro
Apple today made a few noteworthy announcements, primarily that the 5K iMac's base price has dropped by $200, which means there's now an entry-level 5K iMac for under $2K, and that the 15-inch Macbook Pro got some welcome performance upgrades as well as their Force Touch trackpad.
The biggest news for filmmakers here is the 5K iMac, which just became a little more affordable (in a very loose interpretation of that word). When it initially launched last fall, the base model for the 5K iMac came in at $2500. As of today, that exact model is $2300. Apple also announced a new stripped down version of the 5K iMac, which has most of the same hardware as the original, but has a slightly slower processor and comes with a traditional spinning drive instead of Apple's Fusion Drive. That new model clocks in right at $2000.
The other major announcement is that the 15-inch Macbook Pro got a few upgrades in line with the ones afforded to the 13-inch models earlier in the year. The 15-inch models now come with longer battery life (up to an hour longer), faster SSDs, and the Force Touch trackpad, which offers a more tactile and nuanced way to interact with your content. Here's a quick look at the Force Touch trackpad from The Verge.
Lastly, the high-end model of the 15-inch Macbook Pro now boasts higher graphics performance thanks to a new discrete GPU. Unlike the iMacs, which all got less expensive, these new Macbook Pros actually got a slight bump up in price, with the base models now starting at $2000 and $2500 respectively.

Is it just me or did they also change the customizable options for the graphics card, now only allowing you to upgrade on the higher end 5k iMac? Just the other day I thought you could select a better graphics card on the 27inch regular iMac.

Why does it have to be right / wrong? Just use the tool that fits your needs. Brand tribalism distracts from creation.
But then again, I guess commenting your comment does that as well. D'oh!

My Hackintosh is actually pretty stable with heavy use. I did have the audio drivers disappear a couple of times before I got a better sound card, and the DVD burner has never worked properly. Still it has cranked out lots and lots of renders over the last couple of years.
May 20, 2015 at 2:30AM
I also have a hackintosh. Its actually the most stable computer I have used, previously I used an iMac for editing/vfx and there were way more bugs and crashes than with my current computer. Hackintoshes may have a reputation of being unstable but if you pick the right parts it will outlive any mac (based on the fact that you can very easily replace any component that fails).
May 20, 2015 at 10:21AM
My hackintosh is very stable under heavy use. I have a fully loaded 12-core Mac Pro with dual D700's at work which performs well using Premiere and After Effects but my hack at home seems to match that performance pretty well with only 4-cores and a single CUDA GPU. Having been able to upgrade my GPU and CPU as needed over the last few years has allowed me to get a lot more value out of that machine than I could get out of a Mac Pro.
Now I only wish that the current batch of powerful gaming laptops could be hacked in the same fashion but Optimus implementation is still entirely prohibitive.
May 20, 2015 at 1:44PM, Edited May 20, 1:54PM
What often isn't fully explained in hackintosh builds is that Apple can change anything about OS X in new builds and its API's do drastically change which then requires new firmware and drivers. So you are dependent on the hardware manufacturers to update their firmware/drivers for the new API's. Some are more diligent about this than others.
It is possible to stabilize to a certain version to OS X but then you have to be careful about system updates as you run the risk to API changes.
When Apple releases a new version of OS X the API's will absolutely change and will absolutely require new drivers/firmware and in some cases new components.
I always take "my hackintosh is more stable than a Mac" as total hyperbole for many reasons.
May 20, 2015 at 3:44PM
This is true and it can be a little annoying to wait for a while after updates have been released until there is enough information from the hackintosh community about it's affects on your hardware setup. However, having upgradability options for key hardware components can be worth the nuisance if you watch your step. I have actually had more issues on the Mac Pro than the Hackintosh in the last year now that I follow the "wait and see" rule.
May 20, 2015 at 5:25PM
So basically, after pushing SSDs and not wanting us to replace our own components by soldering the components in and making the only way in through popping of the screen, they're essentially forcing anyone who wants half-decent performance to buy the more expensive model or get stuck with a slow drive.
Bring me back the ability to add my own bloody RAM and SSD without voiding my warranty or risking screen damage, and I will buy one. I've wanted an iMac for a long time but this design revision put me off.
May 19, 2015 at 6:06PM
I agree that it's frustrating how they make it harder and harder to upgrade certain parts. But upgrading the RAM is no harder on the iMac than it ever has been. They left an access panel on the back of it. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+27-Inch+Retina+5K+Display+RAM+Re...

Apple shares are expensive, they need to keep the shareholders happy :-p
May 20, 2015 at 5:27AM
The market for those who swap internal hardware components at this point is so small, Apple doesn't have to support that desire - most people just buy a new computer.

I use both Mac and PC. I'd be happy making the switch to just PC if it saved money.
My two concerns are:
- Thunderbolt drives - Is there a good PC laptop that can do small edits and has a thunderpolt port?
- Hardrive formating - I don't know enough about this to not have all my data stuck on a drive, especially when working with people who mainly use Mac.
Solve this for me. Recommend me a computer (Windows or Hackintosh setups are cool and I'm ready to ditch Macbooks!
May 20, 2015 at 9:54AM, Edited May 20, 9:54AM
My current hackintosh build:
Xeon E3 1230 v2 (basically an i7)
24GB Ram
1TB HDD system drive
3x 80GB HDDs in raid 0 as a scratch drive
500w PSU

I highly recommend it, it will rival the 5K iMac and the entry level Mac Pro for less than £1000. Any hackintosh questions just ask :)
May 20, 2015 at 10:27AM
I work on tons of high end stuff - both video and animation. I have a 2013 iMac and it works perfectly fine. Before that, I had a 2007 Mac Pro which worked perfectly fine. Sure things might be a little faster here and there, but at the end of the day computers and software have been functioning at a high level for quite a while now.
When I go into a studio to do post freelance work, often times I'm working on an old 2010-ish Mac Pro and it's also perfectly fine. One of the places I freelance at does use Hackintosh machines and for the most part they work OK, but defiantly a bit more glitchy than an Apple Mac; but Hackintosh's seem to be fine for the most part.
As for the whole Mac vs. PC debate (not saying one is better than another), if you work in a pro / studio type environment, you kind of need a Mac because of the native Pro-Res support. With the exception of 3D files (mostly image sequences), most files we get from clients, pre-renders, final renders, test renders, files for foreign markets, etc…. is 100% Pro-Res. I tend to work at studios that shoot a lot of live action mixed with VFX / MoGraph and it's often PC for 3D and Mac for video. 2D and compositing.
And that's probably the only real reason to use a Mac over a PC is Pro-Res, but that is a big reason. Yes, there are PC Pro-Res apps, but they definitely are not as good as native Apple support.
May 20, 2015 at 5:07PM, Edited May 20, 5:07PM
AVID's DnxHD codecs on the PC are virtually identical to Pro-Res. You need the free codecs installed, but that takes all of 5 seconds.

The Shreveport-Bossier Convention & Tourist Bureau issued this release
The Krewe of Highland Parade, set to roll on Sunday, Feb. 10, will include minor changes, due to recent upgrades to the Byrd High School parking lot that prevent staging floats in that location.
This year, the staging area will be moved to Fern Avenue (northbound between Ockley Drive and Gregg Avenue). The parade officially starts northbound on Gilbert Drive just north of Gregg Street (near Johnny's Pizza and Madison Park Office Complex). The parade will head northbound on Gilbert Drive to Gladstone Boulevard, where it will move west and then resume the parade route from previous years: from Gladstone Boulevard, the parade will head north on Creswell Avenue to Herndon Street, east on Herndon Street, south on Highland Avenue, east on Olive Street, south on Centenary Boulevard and finally west on Gladstone Blvd. The parade will end as it reaches Gilbert Street.
Prior to the parade, the Columbia Park Carnivale will start at 10 a.m. and end at 2 p.m. just as the parade begins. The event will feature live music and several vendors at Columbia Park.
While the change adds a half-mile portion of Gilbert Street, Krewe of Highland organizers reassure that no one has been removed from the parade route.
Parade-goers are asked to arrive to the viewing area at least 30 minutes before the parade starts in order to limit pedestrian traffic on the parade route itself and to avoid the staging area in the hour that leads up to the parade.
The Krewe of Highland gives special thanks to Byrd High School for allowing them to use their grounds for so many years. "We are sad to leave our old staging area, but are excited at the potential that this change will bring to improve our parade for our neighborhood," Krewe of Highland Parade Czar Emma McCarty said.

Fourth of July fun
River Falls Travel Blog› entry 17 of 33 › view all entries
I have been going to my friend's parents' house to celebrate the Fourth of July for the last several years. They always have a big barbeque (Wisconsin style), swimming, campfire and of course, fireworks! I need to explain the Wisconsin barbeque, as my sister recently pointed out the difference between a Southern BBQ and what we consider BBQs. Down south they have meat, and lots of it, smothered in barbeque sauce. We grill out. We have hamburgers, brats, hotdogs, and chicken on the grill. These naked meats are then covered with ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut, pickle relish and sometimes barbeque sauce. We often have corn on the cob, potato salad, potato chips, coleslaw, fresh fruit, veggies and dip, baked beans, with cookies and bars for dessert.
It wasn't warm enought (for me) to go swimming this year, which is rare for July here. The younger kids swam while the older ones ate and drank. The food was delicious. There were a lot of people here this year, so some of the food was potluck style (bring a dish to pass). As it started to get darker, people all over the county began setting off their fireworks. It is legal to have fireworks that shoot into the air in Wisconsin, so we had some very professional fireworks. We all set up our lawn chairs at the top of the driveway near the house. The driveway sloped down to the road and the fireworks were set off in a flatter spot near the bottom. They had to file for a county permit, by the way. The fireworks were fantastic. Several, large, colorful fireworks burst open, lighting up the sky. Smaller fireworks formed fountains lower to the ground. We all played with sparklers as if we were 5 years old again. It has become an annual tradition that I look forward to every year.

Bloom HD preserves the sounds and features of the original version, but adds a stylish new interface which allows the user to fully immerse themselves in the fullscreen experience or to continue to play on a smaller area while adjusting controls.

Welcome to the Men's Ministries Page
The main role of this ministry, through our monthly meetings and yearly retreats is found in our mission and vision statement below. We strive to play role in helping guys to gain a feeling of being a part, accepted as one of us. When possible, we get men plugged in to the small group experience.
We believe that the intimacy of the small group setting is key to strengthening and building relationships with God while establishing some accountability partners.
VISION: CCO Men's Ministry exists to provide a Christ-centered environment for men to learn and apply God's Word through the study of the Bible, prayer, worship, fellowship, and serving others. The Men's Ministry gives the men of Calvary Chapel Oxnard opportunities to pursue the understanding of God's calling upon each of their lives and to increase each man's desire for a closer relationship with Jesus and with each other in order to walk blamelessly, stand strong, and not waver in their faith. Non-Christians and members outside of Calvary Chapel Oxnard are welcomed with the love of Christ, giving them the freedom to receive Him and witness the lives and faith of men who glorify Him.
MISSION: CCO Men's Ministry will consist of a tight-knit group of men of all ages who demonstrate uncompromised integrity in their relationship with God and each other. By Christ's love and grace each individual ministry will be committed to expand their territory in order to spread the Good News of Christ to the communities surrounding our church. The men of Calvary Chapel Oxnard will have improved walks with the Lord which will produce fruitful lives that will strengthen and bless their marriages, their children, their workplace, their church and their communities.

Gloucestershire County Council wants reassurances over promised funding for flood prevention work.
Councilors have written to the Government asking them if they will keep to a pledge to fund a number of Environment Agency schemes in the county.
The money will pay for five projects in Lydney, Daniels Brook in Quedgeley, Slad brook in Stroud, Horsbere Brook in Longlevens and Prestbury.
The move comes three years on from the major floods in Gloucestershire, which left hundreds homeless and thousands without electricty and water.

Kuo shows strides with live BP session
Kuo shows strides with live BP session
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Dodgers reliever Hong-Chih Kuo moved another step closer to his first spring game appearance on Saturday, when he made 20 pitches in live batting practice. Kuo threw all of his pitches to Minor Leaguers Trent Oeltjen and Trayvon Robinson and sounded pleased with the results. Kuo said he plans to throw a bullpen session Monday and could make his first game appearance Wednesday.
Kuo, on a deliberate schedule to keep his brittle elbow functioning, pitched only two innings last spring when he started the season on the disabled list.

Australian skipper Steve Smith was a frustated man after watching his team capitulate for 137 in the second innings, leaving India only 106 runs to chase to win the series and regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The frustation boiled over when Hazlewood edged a delivery off Ashwin to Vijay at 2nd slip, who caught the ball and walked off. However replays suggested that some part of the ball may have touched the ground and as a result the third umpire gave benefit of the doubt to the batsman and indicated he was not out.
Few moments later, Smith was captured on video saying the words 'F*cking cheat'. After his 'brainfade' at Bengaluru, and left alone dismissal at Ranchi, this sort of conduct will not surprise too many people. What the match referee decides on this incident is anybody's guess at the moment.

The Node Explorer – affectionately known internally as the James Bond Viewer – is a new graphical user interface that allows you to experience a Corda network from the viewpoint of an individual node owner – exploring the network map, managing your assets, and viewing any transactions you've been involved in.
You can see a video of the Node Explorer in action below, followed by instructions on how to run it for yourself:
Hi Joel,
Do we need to create run configurations for running UI and Application or it comes as part of importing repo ? I just imported the repo as gradle project and i don't see "Explorer – demo nodes" or "explorer"run configurations.
Great video @joeldudley !
@srinidhi No - they should be included. It looks like it may be due to an IntelliJ issue that we discuss on our wiki, here: https://github.com/corda/corda/wiki/Troubleshooting#no-run-configurations-are-present.
Can you try following those instructions and seeing whether the run configs re-appear?
@joeldudley Hi. Why would Alice issue the transaction onto Corda? WHO is the notary in this example? WHY would it not be easier for Alice to just transfer the money to Bob? Does Bob have an account in this example?
@joeldudley Followed your steps, all missing run configurations appeared under run. i'm able to start the nodes now, but not the UI. Run configuration for UI seems incorrect. i.e in explorer.xml
When i run it, im getting the below error.
Pls share if you have a working copy of explorer.xml
Install the TornadoFX IntelliJ plugin and see if that resolves it.
@mike @joeldudley Installed TornadoFX plugin. Its working !! Thank you.
Just tried the M7 Explorer - works great - well done!Map with transaction flow is good eye candy, not sure about utility...

The Big Interview
Bryan Habana: England coach Stuart Lancaster is working towards something special
London Evening Standard
England's match against Ireland tomorrow is a final chance for Stuart Lancaster's men to make a statement before the Rugby World Cup.
Any optimism generated by the first warm-up win, against France, was destroyed in Paris seven days later, when England were battered for 70 minutes, conceded a host of needless penalties and were lucky to come away with just a five-point defeat.
England may have failed to convince then but one notable voice talking up their cause is Bryan Habana.
The winger was IRB Player of the Year when he helped South Africa win the 2007 World Cup and will be on these shores this month for another tilt at the Webb Ellis Cup.
"I definitely think they are working towards something special," he tells me. "Under the leadership of Stuart Lancaster and Chris Robshaw, they have done some wonderful things over the last three to four years.
"Stuart has definitely been on the right path, building a fantastic group of players with some exciting youngsters pushing for places. They are brimming with confidence. They could also use the home support."
Bath wing Anthony Watson and centre Sam Burgess, the latter a controversial choice given he only moved over to rugby union last autumn, have caught Habana's eye.
"Anthony Watson shows that guys who are selected for England will deserve their places," he says. "Sam Burgess has come over from rugby league with a massive reputation.
"He has learned a lot in a short time and has adapted quickly. He could be a key factor."
How England fare is of particular interest to Habana. With the hosts in Pool A — the tournament's toughest group given it also features Wales and Australia — and South Africa in Pool B, the quarter-finals will see the winners of one meet the runners-up from the other.
"England's pool is one where you can't afford to make any mistakes or you might just find that you don't qualify," says Habana (right). "All those teams will be going hammer and tong in every game. This will be one of the most tightly contested World Cups ever. Even though New Zealand are No1 and will be favourites, on any given day a lot of sides can beat them."
What gives extra weight to the South African's opinions is that they have not been formed by watching his rivals on television. A vital member of the Toulon side for the last two years, Habana knows European rugby well.
"The Toulon experience is a plus factor for me in the World Cup," he says. "I have gained knowledge of what it's like to play in the northern hemisphere and adapted more to the way the game gets played tactically here.
"I can share that knowledge and experience with some of our guys."
The South Africans could do with that. Twice winners of the World Cup, they come to England in the worst form of the major contenders. They finished bottom in the Rugby Championship, the southern hemisphere competition also featuring New Zealand, Australia and Argentina, last month.
Their 37-25 defeat by Argentina in Durban was their first loss against the Pumas, although the Springboks did win the return in Buenos Aires.
"[The preparation for this World Cup] has been tougher than usual," says Habana. "It has been a very big learning curve for a lot of youngsters. We have to get back to the drawing board and see what went wrong. We know that we are not quite there yet. Before we get over to the UK, a lot of hard work and preparation has to be in place to make sure that, when that first game against Japan happens, we are ready to kick it off with a bang."
Many in South Africa feel there is something fundamentally wrong with the selections made by coach Heyneke Meyer. His predecessor, Peter de Villiers, the Boks' first black coach, has accused Meyer of only picking white players and talked of a return to the days of apartheid.
The Congress of South African Trade Unions have even called for Meyer to be sacked after branding him a "racist", saying they had received complaints from several players.
Meyer denies the charge and Habana, one of only two non-whites to start the defeat by Argentina, tiptoes around the issue. "Every person not involved in a Springbok team has the ability to voice their opinions," says Habana. "I am not going to comment. We live in a very unique country and that is something we all understand.
"Whether the number of players of colour the coach picks is right or wrong is not for us to decide. As a player, your main aim is to play to the best of your ability when you do get selected for the Springbok team. Hopefully, by doing well in the World Cup, we can do South Africa proud and unite the nation like we did back in 1995 and in 2007."

This is more of a suggestion than a recipe really as it's all I've been craving in these lazy days, full of glorious sunshine and air like soup, that inspires a big fat negative on the activity, and certainly cooking, front. Peaches, juicy, ripe and fragrant peaches are sometimes enough to be honest, I'm faintly obsessed with them this Summer, but when I can be bothered to do more, it's this.
Not only are doughnut (or flat, but why take the fun out of it?) peaches blessed with The Best fruit name, they're comical, cute, look like ballerina buns and stack prettily in pictures. No, I didn't. Griddled, they soften and the delicate almond flesh turns to sticky honeyed sweetness, caramelises in parts and releases the most beautiful perfumed fragrance that translates entirely to taste. The downy skin wrinkles a little in places and reminds me of the soft focus, fading beauty of rose petals; peach, mottled plum and violet blush. A punchy, barrelled aged, feta becomes creamy in contrast and adds just enough salty to balance. Torn mint lends a herbal, almost medicinal quality, I smile at textural play betwixt fuzzy peach skin and ever so slightly rough mint leaf surface. Pistachios because…. Well, always pistachios.
I'm inclined to dress with a grassy olive oil but it just doesn't need it, just some cracked black pepper, the flavours here and soft, oozy, peach juice is just enough.

Watch another round of Zach Galifianakis' awkward Oscar nominee interviews
Zach Galifianakis' "Between Two Ferns" is back with a second round of off-putting Oscar nominee interviews, including Jessica "Chestsain," Sally Field and Bradley Cooper. Galifianakis plays an ignorant, (sort of) well-meaning, but ultimately rude host. "Zero Dark Thirty--is that a movie about Chris Brown?" he asks Chastain. ("No.") When the exit music cues her to leave, he says "Oh, they're playing you off...yeah, you have to leave."
Enter Sally Field: "I had read that you gained 20 pounds for the movie. How did you do that, eat Anne Hathaway?" (Silence).

Keeping it so simple on this day without the use of primers and the usual foundations. Going for more natural, summery tones/feelings. The look is achieved with facial oil to moisturize, a couple liquid illuminators for glow and light, and just a bit of coverage with an opaque foundation product that I thinned out by blending it with a damp tool. Good brows, mascara on the lashes and some nude gloss tie the look together softly. I am so into this look these days.

So after what seemed like forever (to me and my Twitter buddies. I am pretty sure the six month time space continuum passed pretty much like six months for the rest of the universe), the quirky crime-fighting duo of Shawn and Gus finally made it back on our screens for the fourth season. But not from sunny Santa Barbara where the show is set at , but the snowy peaks of British Columbia, Canada. The season premiere titled 'Extradition : British Columbia' finds Shawn ( James Roday) and Gus ( Dule Hill) off to a ski vacation in Whistler which gets disrupted with an international art thief , Pierre Despereux played by Cary Elwes of 'The Princess Bride' fame showing up in town whom Shawn recognizes from Lassiter's wall of most wanted. Pretending to be Head Detective to solicit the local police's help, Shawn attempts to nab Despereux with Lassiter (Tim Omundson) and Juliet (Maggie Lawson) flying down to assist. What follows is an entertaining forty minutes complete with a dig at the 'The Mentalist', the standard Canada joke or two, talking to raccoons, An 'Entrapment' laser spoof and some less than stellar skiing on part of the guys all of which is rounded off nicely with an adorable, aww worthy non-date between Shawn and Jules. Lassiter's frustration at not being able to have a gun and exude his usual authority, being out of his jurisdiction is amusing as is Cary Elwes' portrayal of the gentleman criminal as he speaks in clipped tones and wears designer loafers. As fans of the show would know, the show is actually filmed in Vancouver where it does a decent job of masquerading as being set in California. With the need to pretend obviously not there in this particular episode, panoramic shots of popular tourist destination like the Capilano Bridge and Stanley Park and the city skyline have been added gleefully for the simple fact that they can be shown.
As far as season premieres go, even without the staple dead body, 'Extradition: British Columbia' doesn't disappoint. It delivers it's signature blend of humor and wit while successfully addressing some of the developments in Season 3 namely Shawn's attempts at rekindling romance with high school crush Abigail (Rachael Leigh Cook) and the interesting twist it has for the Shawn and Juliet storyline. Season 4 finds the fake psychic attempting to negotiate a fledgling relationship with Abigail while reconciling with the abruptly changed dynamic of his little more than friendship with Juliet. Roday brings out some unseen nuances to the character of Shawn as he awkwardly and endearingly fumbles through conversations wiht Juliet before oh so sweetly proclaiming to refuse to be uncomfortable around her, because she means too much to him. Maggie Lawson too does well at keeping Juliet non-dramatic and composed. Episode writer and show creator Steve Franks thankfully keeps out any exaggerated heartbreak or pining from weighing in upon the lightness of the show. While I must admit, the shipper in me was less than thrilled about yanking the flirtatious element between the two characters, there is a new and heightened awareness of feelings for each other which is sure to lend to the depth of the show.
All in all, 'Extradition..' sets the tone perfectly for season ahead.

ICEM CFD creating the grid of a Wind Turbine blade
I need some pointers to create a grid using ICEM CFD, I have tried but the outcome hasn't been very good
kind regards Dan
Re: ICEM CFD creating the grid of a Wind Turbine b
Well, to get good advice you need to provide a lot more specifics than that. What does your geometry look like? What grid do you want and what type of analysis is it to be used for? What did you try and why was the outcome not good?
In general, make shure your geometry is as simple as possible before importing, and also error free (all surfaces connected, volumes completely enclosed etc). There is no point in going further unless the Geometry Check tool is totally error free. Avoid sharp points on parts where you are going to use prism layers.
Re: ICEM CFD creating the grid of a Wind Turbine b
Hello Chebeba Thank you for your answer, My geometry consists of a blade with three different airfoil in the spanwise direction (13 blade station). The varation of twist from root to tip includes angles of 10.5, 2.5, 0 and -2,5 at the tip. the trailing edge of the blade is sharp. I'm trying to use a structured hexa mesh for the blade region, (I would like to capture separation on the suction side of the blade if it is present) and a unstructured hexa mesh for the other flow domain. The problem arises when I am dividing the blade into blocks using Hexa mesh. Because I am going to simulate a steady condition I'm jus modelling a 120 degrees sector (It is a 3bladed wind turbine). I have problems moving vertex inside the volume in the blocking process. Can ICEM CFD use cylindrical coordinates? It is being very difficuk to use cartesian coordinates to arrange the vertices. I can send you an image of how is the problem developing
Kind Regards Dan
Re: ICEM CFD creating the grid of a Wind Turbine b
You can create local coordinate systems with ICEM CFD. In the upper left you'll see an icon with 'LCS' on it. These can be cartesian, cylindrical, or spherical.
Re: ICEM CFD creating the grid of a Wind Turbine b
If you associate your vertices with a curve, it becomes very easy to move them around using Move Vertex, since they will slide along the curve.
Another advice: If you use a structured mesh going all the way out to the tip, the shells will get very small and have rather poor aspect ratios. What I'd do for a blade is start with 4 structured 2D blocks from the root and going all the way up to where the tip is becoming narrow, then end with 4 unstructured triangular blocks. Result is similar to this:
Re: ICEM CFD creating the grid of a Wind Turbine b
Thanks a lot for your advice, by the way when you block your geometry fif you follow the blocking of the tutorial wing body ?? Regards Dan
Re: ICEM CFD creating the grid of a Wind Turbine b
The wing body tutorial is a fully structured mesh, which is fine if that's what you want. My advice above is for a 2D blocking hybrid mesh, which is much more useful for me. Unfortunately there is no good docs or tutorial on 2D hybrid blocking... It seems to be new stuff with version 10. /C
Re: ICEM CFD creating the grid of a Wind Turbine b
Dear Chebeba I was wondering if you as well could answer some other questions I have about the boundary conditions that you use opening, inlet etc, etc. for the simulation. The postprocessing with CFX, How can I get Lift and drag coefficients at a specific span location, as well pressure coeficient distribution? As you might notice I'm quite a beginner using CFX and ICEM CFD with this kind of simulations
Kind Regards Dan
Re: ICEM CFD creating the grid of a Wind Turbine b
Dear Chebeba,
Can you give some idea about how to make the unstructured mesh like your mesh near the tip of the blade? I met some difficulty with my mesh on an impeller, and I think your solution is very helpful for me, but I don't know how to do that. I always follow the tutorial of ICEM, but it seems only for structured mesh.
Please, and thanks alot!!
I also have several low quality element around my wind turbine tip, my strategy is to block out the tip with a square, and trying to form non-conformal mesh (later define interface), but it is not the best solution to me. Again anyone know how to deal with the tip mesh as has been done in this post?
1 Attachment(s)
Under Blocking => Edit Block => Convert Block Type, you can change the blocks from mapped to swept, change the free face or free block mesh type, etc.
You can do it with a full 3D blocking, but it is usually easier with a surface blocking, then run 2D to 3D fill with an Ogrid. The Ogrid manages the the boundary layer and will sweep out the paved mesh. Then the complex volume around that is "filled" with an unstructured fill, such as tetra.
Attachment 13519
3 Attachment(s)
As I already blocked my model in 3D, and I just used the "convert block type" to help me with the mesh around the tip, the pre-mesh is pretty good (as attached pic 1,2), however, when i convert the pre-mesh into unstructured mesh, the mesh quality becomes bad, am i doing something wrong?
Besides, how to add boundary layer for my case?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Toyota Motor Corp. will be investing 8.2 billion baht ($257 million) in Thailand, demonstrating just how confident it is in the Southeast Asian car sector hub even as it had faced major disruptions last year due to the flooding. Toyota will soon open a manufacturing plant at Gateway industrial park and will reopen a production line at its Thai Auto Works plant, where its Fortuners are built, according to Kyoichi Tanada, president of the Toyota Motor Thai unit, during a briefing. Tanada said that the company is pouring in a bigger investment "simply because we're not producing enough."
He said that the combined production capacity of the two new Toyota plants would be 88,000 units, with the expectation that the Gateway plant in Chachoengsao province will be prepared for its output to start in July 2013. He said that this plant will build passenger cars and environmentally friendly "eco cars."
He added that the TAW plant in Samut Prakan province, which was shut down in May 2010 after demand narrowed, can resume production in December 2012. He emphasized that Toyota won't go elsewhere and that it is relying on the partnership between the Thai government and Japan International Cooperation Agency to make sure that the flooding has been solved.
Analysts believe that even with the impact of the flood, Japanese car makers would still proceed with the transfer of production to Thailand because of the low costs.
Tanada said that Toyota's production losses from the tsunami in Japan and the Thai flood resulted to 200,000 vehicles in 2011. Japan-based Minebea Co. said that it will invest $75 million to construct a new plant in Thailand in the second half of 2012. According to the bearing manufacturer, its two existing plants will reopen in February and April.

The plant closed in 2009, eliminating 650 jobs and eventually eliminating health insurance coverage for its retirees.
"Assuming we can get to a power structure that offers upside but protects shareholders in the downside, I think it would be a great investment," Bless said. "There's going to be restart costs, but it would be reasonably modest in the grand scheme of things.
"We think the plant could be producing quickly and producing a product that's needed in the marketplace. We've got a (company) right next door ... we believe would like a good chunk of it in molten form; that's Constellium's plant, of course. So, it's got all the attributes of something that would be reasonably low risk assuming power, and give us some nice upside."
Century reported net income of $20.3 million, or $0.21 per common share, for the second quarter on higher aluminum prices and lower power prices in the midwest. Results were negatively impacted by a half-million charge for the finalization of a legal settlement.
Sales for the quarter were $458.3 million, up from the $331.9 million reported in the same three-month period in 2013.
Century had reported a net loss of $29.4 million for the second quarter 2013.

TIFF Day Zero: Finally in Toronto!
by Alex Billington
September 8, 2007
After a long day of grueling flights and traveling through customs, I've finally made it to Toronto! I know everyone is excited to hear about my adventures in the airport - so I'm going to skip right to the good stuff, the movies! I barely made it in time to see Gavin Hood's Rendition and after that made it over to a late night screening of Jason Reitman's Juno (reviews are pending for both). It's the first day and I'm trying to get in the groove (and get caught up) before diving headfirst into a full 7 more days of endless movies live from TIFF.
My biggest observation after spending some time at two theaters around downtown Toronto - this isn't Sundance, and I don't mean that in a good way. The Toronto Film Fest is the big, ugly step brother of Sundance that's way too commercial and much less personal. The crowds who swoon around the limousine drop off waiting for a glimpse of a celebrity number in the thousands, where at Sundance it's just a small crowd. It seems the number of press here is nearly 10x that of Sundance, but the films that are showing are much more commercial and/or international - it just doesn't make sense.
At Sundance, seeing a movie in the biggest theater, Eccles as it's called (which was a converted high school auditorium) meant a personalized viewing with the celebrities in your same row and top notch audio/visual. At Toronto it means sitting in an orchestra hall's top balcony 200 feet from the floor looking downwards at a tiny, off-axis screen. It's way too commercial and way too public, something which I just don't think is the right feel for what is supposed to be one of the best film fests in North America.
Hopefully my second day here in Toronto will prove to be much more exciting and entertaining. I'm looking forward to seeing quite a few great films as well as the sites and sounds of Toronto and even some interviews. I'll give TIFF another chance to prove my original observations wrong and show me how good it really is. Stay tuned as our coverage here at TIFF really starts to kick off over the weekend.

The following unsymmetrical diphosphines have been prepared: o-C 6H4(CH2PtBu2)(PR 2) where R = PtBu2 (L3a); PCg (L3b); PPh2 (L3c); P(o-C6H 4CH3)2 (L3d); P(o-C 6H4OCH3)2 (L3e) and o-C6H4(CH2PCg)(PCg) (L3f) where PCg is 6-phospha-2,4,8-trioxa-1,3,5,7-tetramethyladamant-6-yl. Hydromethoxycarbonylation of ethene under commercially relevant conditions has been investigated in the presence of Pd complexes of each of the ligands L 3a-f and the results compared with those obtained with the commercially used o-C6H4(CH2P tBu2)2 (L1a). The Pd complexes of the bulkiest ligands L3a, L3b and L3f are highly active catalysts but the Pd complexes of L3c, L3d and L3e are completely inactive. The crystal structures of the complexes [PtCl2(L1a)] (1a) and [PtCl2(L 3a)] (2a) have been determined and show that the crystallographic bite angles and cone angles are greater for L1a than L3a. Solution NMR studies show that the seven-membered chelate in 1a is more rigid than the six-membered chelate in 2a. Treatment of [PtCl(CH3)(cod)] with L3a-f gave [PtCl(CH3)(L3a-f)] as mixtures of 2 isomers 3a-f and 4a-f. The ratio of the products 4:3 ranges from 100:1 to 1:20, the precise proportion is apparently governed by a balance of two competing factors, steric bulk and the antisymbiotic effect. The palladium complexes [PdCl(CH3)(L3b)] (5b/6b) and [PdCl(CH 3)(L3c)] (5c/6c) react with labelled 13CO to give the corresponding acyl species [PdCl(13COCH3)(L 3b)] (7b/8b) and [PdCl(13COCH3)(L 3c)] (7c/8c). Treatment of [PdCl(13COCH3)(L)] with MeOH gave CH3 13COOMe rapidly when L = L3b but very slowly when L = L3c paralleling the contrasting catalytic activity of the Pd complexes of these two ligands. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.

Meet Amy
Amy is available for bookings around New Orleans for minimum 60 minute shoots, as well as Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and all the little cajun towns in between.
I would describe my photography as organized documentary style. Most people aren't comfortable just putting on a show for the camera, so I like to guide them and make it fun, creating a more natural result. Sometimes I get to meet local celebrities when shooting for magazines, but most of my days are spent documenting families and small children. My goal is to tell your story and document your time here, creating images that your family will treasure for generations and generations.
Three Things
- I love to hang out with my family. When I am not working, I try to soak in these moments, whether it be at the movies, watching a football game with them or in the backyard or at the park.
- One thing I cannot live without is a good massage; they help keep me on the go without being in pain.
- People think I am crazy, but the good kind. Sometimes I like to bring funny masks in my car and surprise people. Imagine working at the drive-thru and a car pulls up with a gorilla staring at you. My husband recently bought me a giraffe mask, so be on the lookout! I like to keep it weird.
Favourite Place to Shoot in New Orleans
It would be a tie between the character of the French Quarter and the moss-covered oaks in Audubon Park.

While we are collectively freaking out over the Trump's White House use of Alternative Facts, these kinds of "facts" have been floating around in medicine (and politics) for a long time. And it is instructive to take a look at how we as a society have been dealing with Alternative Facts in Medicine and what damage these "facts" have wrought on us individually and collectively. I propose the following formula for how Alternative Facts come to be: Desperate Need + Greed = Alternative Fact Medical Myths: Beliefs Based on Outdated Science To start, allow me to refresh your memory, for our history is full of myths when it comes to our heath and our diseases. Let's begin with a bit of bloodletting. Bloodletting is almost as old as our civilization. Thousands of years ago (that's thousands, with three zeros!), a healer's first choice of treatment was to let out the "excess" blood from a patient. Be it a migraine, an infection, or a virus, a person who was probably too sick to object was cut with a lancet or some other easily available tool and weakened even further via blood loss. The Greek physician Erasistratus believed all illnesses were due…

LinkedIn Groups
by Olga Werby •
I've started a discussion (or I hoped I did) the other day — it was about LinkedIn algorithms for auto moderating. These algorithms don't work well. As an example, I invoked a group discussion I've started in a group where I am a moderator that was moved to "jobs" because LinkedIn didn't understand the content. The article I shared was on the psychology of criminal sentencing research. It had nothing to do with jobs. Then when I looked around, I found other articles that people shared that ended up under "promotions" and "jobs" tabs. Different groups have different purposes. Some groups are about sharing information — I welcome people sharing articles about relevant topics. Such groups become magazines, news papers for narrow subject areas and self-selected audiences. That is very useful. Sometimes, there are discussion around these articles, sometimes not. That's okay — that's the kind of group it might be. When groups start, they are a potentiality — something wonderful might happen…or might not. It takes at least 500 group members to start the group moving and propagating. (I did a bit of research on this a few years ago.) Before that number, it is a lot of work…

Cultural Barriers to Success
by Olga Werby •
Man-made Disasters in a Wake of Tsunami This month, The Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission issued its final report on the disaster: It was man-made! Here's a quote from the report: What must be admitted — very painfully — is that this was a disaster "Made in Japan." Its fundamental causes are to be found in the ingrained conventions of Japanese culture: our reflexive obedience; our reluctance to question authority; our devotion to 'sticking with the program"; our groupism; and our insularity. Had other Japanese been in the shoes of those who bear responsibility for this accident, the result may well have been the same. The last sentence is particular insightful — the blame was not rested on the shoulders of a particular individual, as tempting as that might be, or even on the shoulders of some manager. The fault was places on the cultural context in which the incident played out. Museums in Paris We just got back from seeing a Tim Burton exhibit at the La Cinémathèque, in Paris. The content of the exhibit, as one could imagine, is quite wonderful. But there were many, many human failures in making the visit an enjoyable experience. And yes,…

Community of Practice and Knowledge Propagation Circle
by Olga Werby •
This summer my family and I travelled to Rome. While the temperatures didn't reach the usual astronomic heights, it was rather warm. But we, and other visitors, didn't have to worry about thirst. Rome has the best network of public drinking fountains that I have ever seen. Every few blocks, there's a beautifully-designed basin with a spigot of continuously running water (I know, being from California, the never-ending stream made us very uncomfortable, too). There are two bits of information that have to be passed on to the first-time visitors of Rome: the water is potable—safe to drink, and how to use the fountain—there's a bit of a trick to them. Above is my son demonstrating a little secret interaction. There's a small hole on the top of the pipe that can serve as drinking fountain if the main hole at the end is plugged up (with a finger). While we learned about the great drinking water in Rome from many traveling guides (books, online sites, etc.), we obviously didn't know about the trick until we watched a pro do it. Knowledge Propagation Circle Information propagates through communities. When we first encounter a novel bit of data, it tends to…

Entropy & Design
by Olga Werby •
Entropy is the measure of a system's disorder and it increases with time (as dictated by the Second Law of Thermodynamics). Once the egg is cracked open, it's impossible to make whole again: "Humpy Dumpy sat on the wall, Humpy Dumpy had a great fall; all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpy Dumpy together again!" We are taught the second law of thermodynamics from a very early age! So what about design? Surly, we steadily progress to a better and finer product, right? Unfortunately, in my experience, the steady progress is rarely the case when dealing with big company, large products, or long time frames. Big, large, and long spell out entropy in design. Let me walk you through it. We Need A New Product! It all starts with a call: "MegaCorp needs a new product!" Well, the words are sometimes different, but it is all the same—there's change in the air. With luck, this means that various departments of the MegaCorp Inc. scramble to do some market and internal research to come up with some ideas: What does the market need? What resources do we have? What can we develop? (given time, people, budget,…

Knowledge, Context, & Expectation
by Olga Werby •
These are three necessary components of any product design: Knowledge: the background information that forms the foundation of product design Context: the ecosystem in which the product will be used Expectation: the alignment of goals between product creators and the users for which it was designed A failure to fully understand any of the above variables results in errors that propagate throughout the product system. But what if the product is disaster preparedness? Consider the design of an evacuation plan ahead of a disaster. You would need to understand the what kinds of damage the disaster is capable of wrecking; the probabilities for each outcome; the people and the ecosystem in which the disaster will occur; and expectations of all the participants in the evacuation plans. Tsunami and The Zoo A few years ago, I was teaching a fifth grade science class where we were discussing the possible damage from a tsunami in San Francisco (we just visited the Bay Model). The problem I posed to the students was to design a reasonable evacuation plan for The San Francisco Zoo animals. The Zoo lies on the tsunami flood plane, and as far as we knew there was no plan for…

TSA: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
by Olga Werby •
There has been a lot of stories lately about the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and most have been less than flattering (to say the least). How can an agency that was designed to "serve and protect" the citizens of the United States from harm evoke such wrath from ordinarily shy and non-vocal travelers? This blog is about product design, and so my analysis of the situation will treat this as a failure of product design. Where are the failures? Mistake #1 TSA Conceptual Design: Blocking There are bad guys out there that want to do us—citizen travelers from US—harm. There are the box-cutter carrying terrorists, the shoe-bombers, the liquid explosives bandits, the underwear-bombers, the printer cartridge explosives engineers. TSA installed airport security measures that would counteract each of these threats as they revealed themselves. The basic conceptual design strategy here is blocking: identify a threat and find an effective block. This is a strategy based on hindsight: if we knew that people could sneak bombs in their underwear, then we would have had a way to block it. We didn't know, but now we do, and so we created systems to block this threat in the future. TSA Game Plan: Escalating…
