Months ago, when we were still wondering if there would be any snow this year, the April production of "The Deadly Game" at Stagecrafters Theater was already in the works. I was lucky enough to be asked to help with costumes. The costume director, Coco, Joan Blake and I have worked together before. Last February our crew met to measure the actors and start looking for their costumes. We three jumped on our task as soon as we found the tape measure.
I'm not saying that all actors are liars. I'm merely suggesting that they tend to think they're taller and thinner than they actually are. Our mission is to uncover the truth. We start with the men. We have a chart to fill in:
"Six feet."
We write down 5'8".
"180 pounds."
We exchanged glances and recorded "200."
Then we got scientific.
"Do you know your waist measurement?"
"36, I think."
We used the tape measure and wrote "39 inches." And on it went.
The men who wear suits to work every day often know their sizes, but we double-checked everyone.
This might not sound like hard work, but we switched jobs halfway through; she who filled in the chart now measured, and vice-versa. The switch kept our brains alive.
The women were next.
"P___ doesn't like to be measured in public," Coco told me.
We took her to a distant corner of the room.
"Weight?" I whispered.
"Too fat."
"32 inches, on a good day." Sigh.
"Oh, God, don't ask."
"Thousands of inches. I'm not really sure…"
Poor actresses; the measuring process alone would scare me off the stage before I began.
Finally it was time to buy fabric. Coco, Joan and I met at Jo-Mar Fabrics at 5300 Whitaker Ave. in the Northeast. Ah, Saint Jo-Mar, the patron saint of cheap fabric. We love going. We walked slowly through the aisles, mooing in pleasure when we found something at Jo-Mar's ridiculously low prices. Jo-Mar also has clothing; there were women mooing everywhere. Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo-moo. Extreme bargains do that to people.
We bought fabric and trim to make four judges' robes for "The Deadly Game." Coco took it all home with her. We only had one pattern and one set of directions for four seamstresses. No one knew where the tape measure was.
"I'll cut out the pattern pieces and put the markings on them. Then I'll bring them to you. I hope you can understand my chalk markings," Coco said.
I examined the pieces she dropped off. Then I called her. "Understand your markings? Sure, Coco, I can read directions in hieroglyphics written in invisible ink; not a problem. I'll do my best. You can count on me."
Putting aside an entire week to ignore my family's needs, I threw myself into sewing for THE THEATER. The robe was progressing reasonably well. Four days in, I got two frantic voice-mail messages and one e-mail from Coco, all saying, "Stop sewing immediately! I'm very sorry for all your work, but we found robes in the costume barn!"
She doesn't understand. I'm a volunteer. Everyone at Stagecrafters is a volunteer. As long as I'm not in charge of anything, I'll do whatever they ask. I can start and/or stop with equal ease. I'm their hand-maiden.
I stopped sewing.
Now, a minute saved is a minute spent on the Internet. Just cruising, I saw on Facebook that a former student of mine, who now owns an art gallery in Bridgehampton, New York, is friends with Christie Brinkley, the model. There was a picture of Christie "like so excited" to arrive at the Ambassador Theatre, New York City, to start rehearsals on stage for "Chicago the Musical," the longest running show on Broadway!
So I friended Christie. I was so excited. I couldn't wait to hear from her. I got a message within three seconds: "Sorry, this user already has too many friend requests."
Boo hoo, poor Christie Brinkley.
My son told me that you can have a maximum of 5000 friends on Facebook. I have 23. I think 23 is a very good number, and I don't really need any more Facebook friends. Believe me, a lot of super-models have tried to friend me in the past. Not just women. A lot of male models have tried to friend me, too. I just turn 'em down. I work in a theater, I know that actors and models love to hang out with ordinary people; it makes them look better and boosts their self-esteem, especially after they just lied to their costumers about their measurements. And since when is Christie Brinkley an actress, anyway? She's a model. Say cheese, Christie. Next thing you know, she'll want to be a columnist. Go ahead, Christie, try it; you'll probably trip over your beautiful long blonde hair and fall flat on your tiny butt. I don't need your phony Facebook friendship. I'm not like you, Christie. I'm famous for depth of character.
I'll just take my tape measure, if I can find it, and wait for my next Stagecrafters assignment.
Readers: I have to lie down for a while. My blood pressure is way up.
Go see "The Deadly Game." The play is spellbinding, and the costumes are to die for.

canvas Today, I was inspired to write this blog post by capturing my 15-year-old son's reflection of his daily devotional. We ask our son, Joshua Currie, to read a passage of scripture and/or devotional and share his reflection on what he has read. It does not have to be a thesis or dissertation. In fact, he can send myself and my spouse a quick text, at least a paragraph, to share his thoughts on what is unlocked for him as he reflects on what he has read. 1 Listen to my words, O Lord, give heed to my sighing and groaning. 2 Hear the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You do I pray. 3 In the morning You hear my voice, O Lord; in the morning I prepare [a prayer, a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart]….

C. Ashley Brown-Lawrence honors God through song (from Hope for Women Magazine http://hopeforwomenmag.com/entertainment-lifestyle/c-ashley-brown-lawrence-honors-god-through-song)
C. Ashely Brown-Lawrence has been singing since she was 2 years old and her dad wrote a song for her to sing. She hasn't stopped singing since.We have finite minds, but we serve an infinite God. The Bible tells us to delight ourselves in the Lord, and He will give us the desires of our hearts. I have delighted myself in the Lord all of my life. I love serving God. There's a difference between positioning for geographical opportunities and blessings.
Concealed for a Purpose
In our self-absorbed cultural and the need to be "placed in the front," it seems that we may have lost the blessings of being the hidden or concealed gems that operate in concert with the Holy Spirit. God declares us as friends (John 15:12-17, John 15:15) in the Bible and he also declares us as soldiers (2 Timothy 2:3). We fight in a realm that is unseen by carnal eyes. As with soldiers in the military, there are those who are out in front, some deployed on special assignments (covertly or overtly), some hidden in total seclusion yet there no one is of lesser value or more important than the other. On April 3, 2017, God began to share a word about the hidden troops. Whether a stay at home mom, someone that is caring for an aging parent, a steward of your family's time to carve out moments…
Embrace & Pursue Wisdom
Embrace & Pursue Wisdom Embrace & Pursue Wisdom Take hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands, and you will live. 5 Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. 6 Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. 7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get[a]wisdom. Though it cost all you have,[b] get understanding. Proverbs 4: 4-7 Proverbs is the Book of Godly Wisdom. Throughout Proverbs we are admonished to embrace her, pay close attention to her, not to forsake her, understand, love, cherish, and pursue her at all cost – even though it may cost us everything we may have we must do everything within us to understand lady wisdom for she will protect us (Prov. 4:4-7). Lady wisdom adorns us with godly wisdom as she aides us in the navigation of life and life's…
OVERBOARD a story of Disobedience & Coming Clean with God
Years ago the Lord gave me an idea for a blog. I played it safe – very safe. I went on a free website and convinced myself I was being frugal – a good steward. There, I did it Lord.. I have obeyed what you have told your daughter to do (www.boundlesstouch.weebly.com). I even had my son to draw Jesus, knowing his touch – his love, his presence is ever touching and changes lives. Boundless Touch, an appropriate name and one that I felt God leading me to use. Although I had skimped on investing for paid website hosting as a "good steward," I still desired things to look polished, done in a spirit of excellence. That meant having great photos and content. Yet I had no budget for photographers, models, fashion designers, location scouts, set designers and other gifted individuals that I sensed that I…

Today we released a minor update for inSSIDer Home (also known as inSSIDer 3) which adds Windows XP and netbook support!
If you have an machine running Windows XP, or if you are using a netbook with a 1024x600 screen, you can now install inSSIDer Home. inSSIDer Office is Windows XP and netbook compatible as well.
.NET Framework 4.0 Requirement
If you run into an error that says, "The Application Failed to Initialize Properly", then you probably need to install the .NET 4.0 Framework. You can download it here.
Why can I only see 2.4 GHz?
You may also notice that you can only see 2.4 GHz networks. If that is the case, you probably have a single-band (2.4 GHz-only) wireless card, which is very common on older laptops. Don't worry, not even all modern laptops are getting this right yet.
If your card cites "b/g/n" support, then it is single-band. If it says "a/b/g/n", then it is dual-band, and will enable 5 GHz Wi-Fi scanning in inSSIDer Home.
Grab an inexpensive, dual-band USB wireless adapter on Amazon to enable dual-band scanning.
All of our downloads, including inSSIDer Home and inSSIDer Office, are located on the MetaGeek downloads page.
Sometimes, I get nostalgic about my old ASUS Eee 1005HA. That was an awesome little netbook. Good times, good times...

You're looking for a water pitcher for your home. You're not just looking for any water pitcher however, you are looking for one that filters the contaminants out of the water you and your family drinks. So what do you do? First, you go to FiltersFast.com (where else?) and you begin to look up our vast line of water pitchers. Then, you get stuck. You see so many options from companies such as Brita, Filtrete, and PUR but you don't know which one is best for you. I'm going to make this process simpler. There are three questions you need to consider before placing your order.
Does it fit your needs? If your family uses several gallons of water a day, you may need a pitcher with a large gallon capacity (such as ZeroWater 23-cup) to prevent constant refilling. Also, how long does the filter last? This can vary depending on usage and water quality, but it is an important factor to consider none the less.
What does it filter? Contaminant removal claims can vary from filter to filter. Make sure that your water pitcher filter (and any water filters in your house, such as in-house, RO, etc.) will remove the contaminants in your water supply. If you don't know what's in your water, you can request a Consumer Confidence Report (or CCR) from your local water utility. The EPA requires that water utilities provide a CCR to their customers every year. You may be able to find it posted on your local government website.
You can also consider a water test kit that will help identify problems with your water supply. This will give you a more assured feeling of what's in your water and what water filter (water pitcher or not) would remove it.
What's the price? This is tricky. Water pitcher filters remove harmful contaminants from your water supply and (subsequently) keep you and your family healthier. You can't put a price tag on that. However, if you find that your water is relatively clean, then a $40 pitcher that removes contaminants you don't currently have, may not be best for you. Instead, you could get by with the Culligan Water Pitcher priced at $15. You still get filtered water on hand at all times as you would with its peers.
Make a more informed decision when you buy a water pitcher filter. Be sure to take a look at the replacement filters your pitcher has and put them on Auto-Delivery for an additional 5% off your order so they will be delivered straight to your door at the frequency of your choosing.

Mise en Scène Multiplicity
Over the last week I've been enjoying Adrian Martin's new book Mise en Scène and Film Style: From Classical Hollywood to New Media Art. (Full disclosure: Adrian is a close friend; we founded and co-edit the journal LOLA together.) It's a wonderfully ambitious and erudite work—and I'm quickly realizing that it will require multiple re-readings for me to absorb and retain its generous profusion of ideas. For the moment, let me simply try to describe, in a nutshell, the interests that animate the work. This book is trying to do at least four things.
First, it wants to broaden the notion of mise en scène beyond its customary parameters. The book begins with a close analysis of the great split-screen ballet set-piece in Brian De Palma's Passion (2012), revealing the film's similarities with 21st century multimedia, installation art. Many filmmakers of late have been involved in creating (in Adrian's words) a "spatialised cinema" in the art gallery, one that brings together multiple screens, points of view, soundtracks, etc. By collapsing this dispositif—or arrangement of elements—into a single screen and making it part of traditional, theatrical cinema, De Palma pushes us to go beyond (as Adrian writes) "the sum of operations we have conventionally regarded as gathering under the rubric" of the term mise en scène. This in turn prompts Adrian to ask:
Did we collectively take a wrong turn in film studies by grasping the work of mise en scène or style in cinema as a matter – at least in the first instance – of wholeness and fluidity, of organic coherence and singular fictional worlds, of a certain 'transparency' or invisibility? And what would it mean, now, to shift gears and retrace our steps over the ground of mise en scène, trying to reconfigure its classic moves in a new and different way?
Second, Adrian writes about being raised, as a cinephile, in a particular historical tradition of mise en scène: that of the British school of stylistic analysis that is associated with luminaries such as V.F. Perkins, Robin Wood and Andrew Britton, and publications such as Movie. He names this the "expressive school of critical analysis". But what this school envisioned as mise en scène was (he points out) only one among many conceptions of the term. He invokes a number of far-flung critics—from Harun Farocki and Frieda Grafe in Germany to José Luis Guarner in Spain, to Shigehiko Hasumi in Japan, to Guillermo Cabrera Infante in Cuba, not to mention the original Cahiers du Cinéma critics in France in the 1950s—each of whom had something a little different in mind when they mobilized the term. The book sets out to provide a global sense of "the history and diversity of traditions in international film criticism" as it relates to mise en scène in particular and film style in general.
Third, the book holds dear and advocates for a certain sensibility: "that before it conjures a world, conveys a story or elaborates a theme, what we think of as mise en scène, in its primary sense and effect, shows us something; it is a means of display." This means bestowing a certain level of importance upon the
immediate, surface level – the gestures, the moves, the rhythms, the colours – of what constitutes any mise en scène … We should be careful not to depart, too brusquely, for the 'higher order abstractions' that we regularly translate the evidence of our senses into: meanings, symbols, metaphors, allegories, directorial intentions, 'world views' … Part of the argument of this book is a plea to always attend closely and full-bloodedly to this type of materiality in cinema.
Finally, the book is concerned with laying bare two parallel histories:
There is mise en scène as the global history – still to be fully, comprehensively written – of how filmmakers made their films, what structures and effects of style they created in their work; this could be called a history of forms in cinema. Then there is mise en scène as the history (again, global) of what critics, theorists and commentators have said, written and thought in their quest to define and use tools to understand the films they see, study, analyse and transmit to others.
The result is a work that "gives equal weight to these dual histories of film and criticism – because the idea of mise en scène, if it is anything, is the attempt to build a bridge across the gap between them …"

We're not starting with the People's Choice Awards today. Today we begin with Marilyn Manson and Johnny Depp, because I've just finished reading the Rolling Stone article Meg sent over earlier this week and it's probably the best celebrity profile of the year, even though the year just started. Full Story
Johnny & his BFF
Johnny Depp and his best friend Marilyn Manson were photographed in LA together earlier this week. They dropped off Johnny's daughter Lily Rose at school where Johnny signed what looked like a permission form for Lily Rose on the hood of the SUV before heading back to Manson's to play guitars or something.

All News Releases By Date
Town of Newburgh, New York Providing Clean Drinking Water to Area Residents Under Agreement with EPA; Additional Environmental Projects Protecting Water Quality
Release Date: 03/12/2014
Contact Information: John Martin, (212) 637-3662, email@example.com
- (New York, N.Y.) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today announced that the Town of Newburgh, New York has completed the construction of a drinking water treatment plant that will deliver a reliable and clean source of drinking water to local residents under the terms of a 2008 legal agreement between the town and the EPA. The agreement was reached after the U.S. Department of Justice filed a complaint on behalf of the EPA alleging various violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act. It required the town to build the Delaware Aqueduct Tap Water Treatment Plant, pay a fine and complete three other environmental projects that provided sewer service to previously unserved Newburgh residents and protected water quality. The new drinking water treatment system was completed in November 2013 and the last of the three projects was completed in February 2014.
"The drinking water treatment plant and the other projects completed under this agreement are providing thousands of Newburgh residents with a dependable source of clean drinking water and reducing water pollution in the area," said EPA Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck. "We are pleased that the work is completed on these important efforts to protect the health of the people of Newburgh."
The new drinking water treatment plant, which is now part of the Newburgh Consolidated Water District, began operating in November 2013 and serves 22,800 people in the Town of Newburgh. The plant draws water from New York City's Delaware Aqueduct and uses membrane microfiltration technology to filter the water. Prior to the violations that lead to the 2008 settlement, Newburgh was not required to filter its drinking water.
In addition to building a new treatment plant, the 2008 agreement required the Town of Newburgh to complete three additional and important environmental projects. The town recently completed the last of the three projects – the extension of a sewer line that will bring sewer service to approximately 30 lots on North Carpenter Avenue and West Stone Street. The town has installed approximately 1,700 feet of sanitary sewers along these streets to permit properties to connect directly to the City of Newburgh's sewer system. The town spent $450,000 on this project.
The Town of Newburgh previously completed two other environmental projects under the terms of the 2008 agreement. In 2010, the town purchased $440,000 worth of vacant undeveloped properties in the Chadwick Lake Reservoir Watershed to help protect water quality in the Chadwick Lake Reservoir. The town has also replaced all the existing catch basins that empty into Orange Lake in Orange County, New York at a cost of $22,000.
The 2008 agreement between the EPA and the Town of Newburgh settled a complaint issued because, on a number of occasions between 2005 and 2007, Newburgh's drinking water exceeded maximum contaminant levels for chemical contaminants that are byproducts produced when drinking water is disinfected. Filtration cuts down on the amount of disinfection generally needed and alleviates this problem. In addition, the complaint charged that the town failed to comply with an EPA Administrative Order requiring it to monitor drinking water quality and report the monitoring results to the Orange County Department of Health. The complaint had also addressed a failure to provide the required notice to the public on each occasion that its drinking water exceeded the maximum contaminant levels for disinfectant byproducts.

Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind spiritual leader of Egypt's largest Islamic extremist fundamentalist group, Jamaa Islamiyya, in an April 6, 1993, file photo. Abdul Rahman was convicted of conspiracy and sentenced to life in prison for helping to plan the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
The blind sheik who supported the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and other terror plots that targeted New York landmarks will stay in a U.S. prison, Obama administration officials said Tuesday.
"There is absolutely no plan to release or transfer the blind sheik," said National Security Staff spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan. "Reports saying otherwise are completely and unequivocally false."
The strong denial came after some Republicans raised concerns that Egyptian leaders may be pressing the Obama administration to free Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman.
More stories from NBCNewYork.com
Former U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey raised concerns in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday. Mukasey claimed there is circumstantial evidence a secret deal is under way as a goodwill gesture to the new Egyptian government.
Mukasey added it may be time for Congress to make clear that any such release would be a "gross betrayal of public trust that would justify removal from high office."
Abdul Rahman is currently serving a life sentence in a federal prison hospital in North Carolina. He was convicted in 1995 for his role in supporting a plot to bomb the United Nations, the Holland and Lincoln tunnels and assassinate then-Sen. Alfonse D'Amato, R-N.Y., and current Assemblyman Dov Hikind, D-N.Y.
A Justice Department spokesman said Tuesday, "The blind sheik will serve the rest of his life in a federal prison serving time for terrorism … and those who suggest otherwise are badly misinformed."
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., sent a letter earlier this month to the State and Justice departments saying such a release would be "a sign of weakness and a lack of resolve by the United States and its president."
On the day he was set to take office in June, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi told a cheering crowd in Cairo that he would press the Obama administration to free the blind sheik.
""I see signs for Omar Abdel Rahman and detainees pictures," Morsi said. "It is my duty and I will make all efforts to have them free, including Omar Abdel Rahman."
New York Sens. Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, both Democrats, condemned Morsi comments at the time.
"Sheik Rahman is a terrorist who planned to kill innocent Americans. Rest assured he will stay right where he belongs -- in jail for the rest of his life," Schumer said in June.
Gillibrand reiterated on Tuesday that any move to release the sheik would trigger a firestorm of opposition.
"If there is any attempt in the future to free this convicted terrorist it will be met with swift condemnation and action to stop it," she said.
Reports of Egyptian calls to free Sheik Rahman come three years after Scottish authorities set free a Libyan terrorist convicted for killing 270 people in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. The release of Abdel Basset al-Megrahi, who died in May, sparked outrage among the victims' families.

Conservation and Environment in Peru: Monthly Updates
TARICAYA RESEARCH CENTRE: March 2012
It is an exciting time in the jungle as we reach the end of the wet season and as the river levels finally start to recede we can take stock and really get back out into the reserve without the threat of heavy storms and torrential rain on a daily basis. It is a vibrant time in the forest as many of the jungle's animals now have newborn babies conceived to coincide with the abundance of food provided by the heavy rains and hot tropical sun. Everywhere we look there are large troops of monkeys moving through the tree tops; frogs plopping into the seasonal swamps and herds of peccaries ploughing through the undergrowth. Raucous choruses from the reserve's birds echo through the forest from dawn to dusk and every night trees rustle and fruits crash to the ground as the jungle's more furtive residents also take advantage. It is a time of plenty and every resident of the rainforest must take advantage before the leaner dry season kicks in when finding food becomes a serious problem and starvation a reality until the life-giving rains arrive again and the cycle continues!
Back at Taricaya we have been working incredibly hard this month and almost everybody has a sore back, blisters or both! We have begun to work on the construction of the bird house at the pilot farm. This aviary has been designed to allow us to study some of the jungle's more secretive residents- the birds of the undergrowth. Upon completion we hope to release many different species into a habitat recreated to emulate their natural surroundings so that we might research and study behavioural and feeding patterns of these most elusive species. It has been a constant frustration to hear these birds singing every day but to hardly ever see them much less learn about their behaviour. This new project is an ambitious and exciting one and first we had to move all the materials into position. This involved transporting 600 large concrete bricks from Puerto Maldonado to the farm, collecting gravel from river banks for the cement mix, carrying the poles for the netted structure and much more. Once in place, we then had to dig the trenches to lay the bricks as the solid foundation of the whole construction and clear the area of any branches/trees over 5m high. A Herculean task by all accounts but we are well underway and I hope to report on our success next month as we continue to work on the project.
Back at the centre we were also hard at work continuing to lay gravel on all the walkways around the animal rescue centre. The rains had made every trail a quagmire and the constant transit as we feed, monitor and clean the animals on a daily basis made such an endeavour necessary. As we formed massive human chains to move tons of gravel by boat from nearby abandoned mining sites to the lodge it became apparent that this task will take months but we can already see the benefits as certain areas of the rescue centre are now mud free and much more accessible! It has now become a matter of pride with the volunteers and they throw their all into the project every time they are selected to work on this project- usually once a week!
March saw us welcome back Hugo Zamora, our bat expert from Arequipa, and as he headed out into the reserve with his mist nets we were confident that something special was about to happen. We were not disappointed! Not only did we capture a new and rare species of fishing bat for the reserve but with hand-held nets, a series of harnesses, safety ropes and a bit of luck we were able to capture a species of bat roosting near our canopy platform. This high-flying species would never be caught in our mist nets as it never drops into the forest itself, feeding primarily high above the trees and nesting in the tallest emergent trees. Such species are very elusive and little is known about them as their natural behaviour makes studying them so difficult. It might even be a new species for the scientific community; I will keep you posted.
It was a great experience and I hope that we continue to find new species with these unorthodox yet effective techniques. In comparison, the fishing bat was relatively easy to capture as it did not involve any aerial gymnastics up in the canopy tree tops. We tended mist nets over the creek by the lodge and whilst extracting any bats from these nets meant an evening dip in cold water with the presence of our resident black caiman (Melanosuchus niger) just a few metres downstream - this was relatively easy. Last year we were able to catch the larger of the fishing bats (Noctilio leporinus) in this manner but we were unsure if we would be so fortunate again. Little did we know that the smaller fishing bat (Noctilio albiventris) was present also in the reserve and this exciting discovery takes our species total to 57! This means that for every 18 species of bat on the planet we have 1 of them in Taricaya- an area of just 476 hectares. This is quite amazing and the exciting fact is that there are undoubtedly more species yet to be discovered as we expand and improve our sampling techniques. A bright future indeed for our biodiversity research and as we open our bird nets next month also, I am convinced there will be more exciting news over the coming months.
One of the most rewarding parts of our wok at Taricaya is being able to release animals back into the wild and we are preparing some of our oldest residents for release next month. We shall be opening the doors for our three macaws (Ara ararauna, Ara macao), our toucan (Ramphostos tucanus) and our brown capuchins (Cebus apella) next month. Their release is very timely as the elements have taken a toll on their enclosures and we must rebuild them as quickly as possible before more new arrivals! One such arrival was a very young white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari) that is being bottle fed by our willing and able staff in the animal hospital. The young female has survived the first week without its mother and so its survival chances have greatly increased and I hope that I can report on her progress next month.
As bookings continue to fly in and with 2012 already looking like a record-breaking year at Taricaya we have decided to expand our project and tackle yet more challenges in the Peruvian Amazon. As the final pieces fall into place I shall be glad to outline our new ideas next month as we plan a second agro-forestry project and exciting expansions to our animal rescue centre. I shall inform you on the progress of the aviary and much more...so until then!

This column on issues confronting renters and landlords is written by certified property manager Robert Griswold, author of "Property Management for Dummies," and by attorney Steven R. Kellman, founder of the Tenants Legal Center.
Question: My lease is coming up for renewal soon, but if interest rates stay low and I can save up the down payment, I am hopeful that I will be buying a house during the next six months. The landlord says they only want stable long-term tenants and have only offered me a 12-month lease at the same rental rate but would charge me an extra $100 per month for a month-to-month rental agreement. I really don't want to spend the extra $100 per month as I need it for my down payment. So how can I legally break my lease considering I'm going to be a homeowner?
Kellman: Buying a home is a significant financial commitment. Also, this may be where you will live for many years and you may wind up keeping the property as a lifetime investment. Therefore, do not let the matter of a rental lease disturb your home-buying plans. Leases can be broken for many reasons where the landlord is at some fault with no cost or penalty to the tenant. However, if you want to break a lease based on your personal plans or needs, like buying a home, you may be held liable unless you take proper steps to protect yourself.
First, you should seek a short-term or a month-to-month rental agreement even if it costs more since you plan to move shortly after your present lease would expire. Ask your current landlord if they will offer you a 3-month or 6-month lease. If you decide to sign that new 12-month lease and then need to vacate early, you should give the landlord as much notice as possible.
Lost rent or other costs can be avoided if you act promptly and properly. Many so-called lease-break penalties included in some leases are not valid even though you signed the lease. Other leases have lease-break options that are just extra profit for the landlord. Therefore, do not sign any early-vacate or lease-break documents provided by the landlord without first having them reviewed by a professional since you can easily sign away valuable rights. Remember, documents prepared by the landlord are for their best interests, not yours. When it comes to breaking leases, you should first seek legal counsel before taking any action.

The uses of intoxicants
Admirably level-headed on this as on so many other matters, Dalrymple writes that it seems cannabis
can relieve nausea (one of the most unpleasant of all symptoms when it is persistent) and some kinds of pain. Its side effects in this context are unlikely to be serious or severe.
This is undeniable. However, we should not go further than this. The claims that are sometimes made, by for example Aldous Huxley, that such intoxicants (Huxley's own favourite was LSD) can transport us to higher regions of consciousness and deepen our awareness are just a little foolish. To smoke marihuana in moderation is nothing more than a civilised pleasure, as is consuming the better beers or decent gin. It will not cause us to levitate, attain enlightenment or touch God.

According to Gartner's recent Smartphone Market report, Android accounted for 25.5% of worldwide sales, compared to "just" 16.7% for the iPhone. But numbers aside, which is the better smartphone? Well, leave it to CNET's Brian Cooley to answer this hotly debated question. Comparing the "two universes" (OS, devices, apps, carriers), Cooley takes a quick look and explains why Android is the superior product. He certainly gives valid reasons, but there's no denying that faithful iPhone 4 users will think otherwise and can just as easily give 5 reasons of their own on why Apple's phone takes the cake.
So what do you think? You agree that Android is better than the iPhone because of things like native flash support or the abundant choices of handsets? Video after the break!

Boeing to Complete Production of C-17 Globemaster III in 2015
Boeing announced on Sept. 18 it will complete production of the C-17 Globemaster III and close the C-17 final assembly in Long Beach, Calif., in 2015. Each C-17 aircraft is powered by four Pratt & Whitney F117 engines.
Pratt & Whitney will continue delivering spare F117 engines to the U.S. Air Force and production and spare engines to international customers, including India's order for 10 C-17s through 2015. In addition, Pratt & Whitney will continue after-delivery support of the worldwide F117 engine fleet as part of the C-17 Globemaster III Integrated Sustainment Program (GISP) Performance-Based Logistics agreement.
Pratt & Whitney is proud to play a role on the program and look forward to continuing to work closely with Boeing and the Air Force to support the program and continue delivering engines to support the remaining aircraft builds.
The F117 engine first entered service in 1993 and is a member of Pratt & Whitney's PW2000 family of commercial engines. With more than 10 million hours of proven military service and 50 million hours in commercial use, the F117/PW2040 has consistently proven itself as a world-class dependable engine.

Reacting Flow
A major focus of research at the CRF is advancing toward a predictive modeling capability for combustion processes associated with energy use and related national concerns. Reaching this goal requires an accurate yet concise representation of combustion chemistry, fluid flow, and various heat- and mass-transfer mechanisms within a computational model. Challenges confronting this undertaking include developing a sufficiently detailed understanding of each part of the combustion process and formulating and numerically implementing models that capture the essentials and yet are computationally affordable.
CRF research addresses many facets of these challenges. Needed chemical knowledge is developed through experimental, computational, and theoretical research performed in the Combustion Chemistry Department at the CRF. Within the reacting flows research program, laboratory studies of flames in various flows provide insights into the couplings among flow, combustion chemistry, and other relevant processes that inspire new modeling approaches and enable validation of models that are developed. The laboratory studies are highlighted by the use of state-of-the-art laser diagnostic and imaging techniques, including advancing these techniques, which has been a long-standing focus of CRF efforts. Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), which is time advancement of the governing equations at full resolution with no physical model simplifications, likewise provides novel insights and is used to validate less costly models. Additionally, advancements in computational hardware and algorithmic capabilities are enabling simulations directly comparable to laboratory experiments.
All of these activities provide understanding and information needed for predictive modeling. The CRF effort to synthesize these and other inputs within a comprehensive modeling framework uses the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approach. In LES, the smallest scales of fluid motion and flame structure are not resolved on the computational grid, so it is necessary to model unresolved processes. The LES activity is closely coordinated with the reacting flow experiments and with engine research at the CRF.
Reducing the scientific knowledge of combustion processes to a form usable within such a comprehensive modeling framework poses theoretical, mathematical, and computational challenges that are being addressed at the CRF, such as quantifying model uncertainty and reducing multistep chemical-kinetic mechanisms to simpler yet sufficiently accurate schemes. In some instances, these efforts are leading to fundamental advances whose impacts extend over a wide range of disciplines and applications. These and the other activities described here have spawned fruitful collaborations with research programs throughout Sandia National Laboratories and with the worldwide academic community on a diverse range of topics.

Established in 2002, the Broll Academy aims to improve with the property skills and knowledge of Broll staff members.
It was the first of its kind to provide in-house training for employees in the commercial, retail and industrial property sectors.
Our goal continues to be lifelong learning for our employees.
Academy courses empower employees to be more productive in the workplace, gain confidence and maximise long-term potential within the Group.
Broll Academy is associated with accredited education training providers who offer long and short courses. These include, Introduction to Property Principles, Property Management Programme, Certificate in Shopping Centre Management, Advanced Certificate in Shopping Centre Management and soft-skills courses including time management and report writing for example.
As part of our efforts to improve the skills of our employees and develop candidates within the property industry, we've introduced two new training programmes – internships and learnerships.
As a member of the Services SETA we qualify for a skills-development grant which helps us offer programmes such as these internships. We welcomed our first two interns in 2008 and the programme has swiftly grown year on year.
We identify university graduates from various property courses and place them on a fast-track process in various departments within Broll to a point where we can offer them positions that best fit their skills and personalities.
A learnership is a year-long course with emphasis on-the-job learning which combines education and training with work experience.
A team leader, supervisor or line manager mentors the candidates in the workplace.
Working together with Services SETA and Boston City Campus, the aim of the programme is to widen the skills base in the property industry. The project is spearheaded by a dedicated facilitator.
Learnership qualifications include Business Administration, Customer Management, Information Technology and Management.

Kane scores twice as Jets tame Panthers
WINNIPEG — It wasn't by their coach's book but Evander Kane scored two goals as the Winnipeg Jets outgunned the Florida Panthers 7-2 on Thursday for their third straight win.
Aaron Gagnon, Andrew Ladd, Grant Clitsome, Dustin Byfuglien and Chris Thorburn also scored for Winnipeg (21-19-2). The Jets are now tied with the New York Rangers for eighth place in the Eastern Conference. However, New York has two games in hand.
The Washington Capitals lead the Southeast Division with 46 points and a game in hand over Winnipeg.
Both Washington and the Rangers were idle on Thursday.
The Jets, who have had the most success with a patient, controlled game, took a 3-2 lead after a wild first period with four goals scored by both teams in a span of less than three minutes.
T.J. Brennan and Tomas Fleischmann scored for the Panthers (13-21-6), who remain in the Eastern Conference cellar.
Gagnon got things started with his second career NHL goal. He was parked in front of the net and deflected Blake Wheeler's shot from the point at 3:54 past Jacob Markstrom.
Less than a minute later though, Brennan deflected one past Winnipeg goaltender Ondrej Pavelec to even things up.
Kane waited a whole 18 seconds to tip a slow-motion puck past a sprawling Markstrom to put the Jets ahead again. but Fleischmann scored less than a minute and a half later with a wrist shot that slipped under Pavelec's leg.
Winnipeg coach Claude Noel then called a time out to try and settle things down and it seemed to work.
Ladd put the Jets back in front with a 3-2 lead at the 12:42 mark of the first. Winnipeg outshot the Panthers 17-9 in the opening 20 minutes of play.
Florida put on more pressure in the second but it was the Jets who scored, starting just past the 10-minute mark when Bryan Little fed Clitsome in the slot on a power play.
Byfuglien drilled one past Markstrom from the point just 28 seconds later and Kane dashed in behind the sprawling goaltender to slip one into an empty net at 11:58.
That was enough for coach Kevin Dineen who put veteran Scott Clemmensen in the net.
The frustrated Panthers ended the second by handing the Jets a five-on-three power play. It started with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against George Parros after he failed to goad Chris Thorburn into a fight, followed by an illegal check to Little's head by Eric Gudbranson.
The check sent a bleeding Little to the dressing room but the Jets failed to score on Clemmensen. Little returned in the third.
The Jets weren't finished however, as Thorburn deflected Ron Hainsey's shot past Clemmensen at the 11:53 mark of the third.

Greenwich's Whitnum charged with breach of peace in Stamford
Allegedly created disturbance in court
STAMFORD -- A Greenwich Democrat hoping to run for governor on a judicial reform plank was thrown into court lockup Thursday after allegedly creating a disturbance in the Superior Court's library.
According to State Police, troopers were called to the court around 3:21 p.m. where they found Lisa Whitnum-Baker, 53 of Greenwich, being held in the court lockup. After speaking with all the parties involved, police say they arrested Whitnum and charged her with breach of peace.
Whitnum, who goes by Lee Whitnum, responded to a call for comment by email, stating, "I am filing with the claims commission to sue the state of Connecticut." She did not elaborate on what happened.
Whitnum, who unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2008 and the U.S. Senate in 2010 and 2012, announced her candidacy for Governor on her website in March.
"My name is Lee Whitnum, and I'm committed to cleaning up the judiciary in Connecticut," the website reads. Her primary concern is how judges are confirmed and disciplined and wants to give average people the ability to fire judges.
The Greenwich resident's experience with the Connecticut judicial system have not been very positive, as they include some dust ups on the criminal side in which she was charged with harassment, trespassing and disorderly conduct in 2013. These cases are still listed as pending on the State Judiciary's website, though she has said the charges were dropped. According to previous reports, the harassment and trespassing were related to a visit she made to the judge overseeing her divorce proceedings.
She's also filed lawsuits against the town of Greenwich, for renting out Town Hall for a religious event (a bar mitzvah), a blogger for defamation, a real estate agent, the Probate Court and a slander allegation against Gov. Dannel P. Malloy. The governor, after winning the court battle, proceeded to win a court order against Whitnum requiring her to show cause in future legal action.
She was also sued by People's Bank in 2013 for missing a payment on a loan. She fought the suit and lost after arguing she was up to date and the People's Bank attorney was "predatory," contentions a judge trial referee said were not true.
The Judicial Marshal Services incident report from the situation at the Stamford courthouse this week said Whitnum's problems stemmed from an earlier disagreement with another patron over papers stacked in front of a printer, as well as concerns by the law librarian that Whitnum had entered her office without permission to get paper for the printer. That day, Whitnum left when asked to by marshals.
The marshals service said that after the first incident, the librarian had planned to tell Whitnum that she would lose library privileges for three days if she returned and behaved as she had a few days before, and had requested that marshals be with her. When Whitnum entered the courthouse on Thursday, the marshals and the librarian were alerted, and were ready for her. Soon after Whitnum got to the library, another argument with the same patron from the previous day occurred, and more marshals responded to the library. Things escalated from there, according to the marshals.
She began screaming that she wasn't being treated fairly, the report said, and that she was being treated like a criminal, and at this point the librarian told her she was banned for three days for her behavior.
Marshals asked Whitnum to leave and she started to, but then she stopped to yell at the librarian. When a marshal tried to take her arm to guide her out, she allegedly tried to bite him on the hand and arm. After a struggle in the library, she was cuffed and brought down to the lockup, according to the marshals, where she asked to be let go, saying that she "doesn't need this right now."
State Police offered a shorter, more concise version of the event. Whitnum was being verbally disruptive in the court's library, but when asked to calm down, she continued to be disruptive, prompting a call to the judicial marshals, the state police reported. Whitnum refused to leave when the marshals asked her to vacate the library, police said. Failing to follow their request, marshals attempted to escort her from the library and that's when the library staff and marshals claim Whitnum tried to bite a marshal, resulting in their putting her in the basement lockup.
She was released on $500 bond and is due in court on May 20.

Disk Usage
From PostgreSQL wiki
Finding the size of various object in your database
General Table Size Information
Disk usage
This will report size information for all tables, in both raw bytes and "pretty" form.
SELECT *, pg_size_pretty(total_bytes) AS total , pg_size_pretty(index_bytes) AS INDEX , pg_size_pretty(toast_bytes) AS toast , pg_size_pretty(table_bytes) AS TABLE FROM ( SELECT *, total_bytes-index_bytes-COALESCE(toast_bytes,0) AS table_bytes FROM ( SELECT c.oid,nspname AS table_schema, relname AS TABLE_NAME , c.reltuples AS row_estimate , pg_total_relation_size(c.oid) AS total_bytes , pg_indexes_size(c.oid) AS index_bytes , pg_total_relation_size(reltoastrelid) AS toast_bytes FROM pg_class c LEFT JOIN pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace WHERE relkind = 'r' ) a ) a;
Finding the largest databases in your cluster
Disk usage
Databases to which the user cannot connect are sorted as if they were infinite size.
SELECT d.datname AS Name, pg_catalog.pg_get_userbyid(d.datdba) AS Owner, CASE WHEN pg_catalog.has_database_privilege(d.datname, 'CONNECT') THEN pg_catalog.pg_size_pretty(pg_catalog.pg_database_size(d.datname)) ELSE 'No Access' END AS SIZE FROM pg_catalog.pg_database d ORDER BY CASE WHEN pg_catalog.has_database_privilege(d.datname, 'CONNECT') THEN pg_catalog.pg_database_size(d.datname) ELSE NULL END DESC -- nulls first LIMIT 20
Finding the size of your biggest relations
Disk usage
Relations are objects in the database such as tables and indexes, and this query shows the size of all the individual parts. Tables which have both regular and TOAST pieces will be broken out into separate components; an example showing how you might include those into the main total is available in the documentation, and as of PostgreSQL 9.0 it's possible to include it automatically by using pg_table_size here instead of pg_relation_size:
Note that all of the queries below this point on this page show you the sizes for only those objects which are in the database you are currently connected to.
SELECT nspname || '.' || relname AS "relation", pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(C.oid)) AS "size" FROM pg_class C LEFT JOIN pg_namespace N ON (N.oid = C.relnamespace) WHERE nspname NOT IN ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema') ORDER BY pg_relation_size(C.oid) DESC LIMIT 20;
Example output (from a database created with pgbench, scale=25):
relation | size
public.accounts | 326 MB
public.accounts_pkey | 44 MB
public.history | 592 kB
public.tellers_pkey | 16 kB
public.branches_pkey | 16 kB
public.tellers | 16 kB
public.branches | 8192 bytes
Finding the total size of your biggest tables
This version of the query uses pg_total_relation_size, which sums total disk space used by the table including indexes and toasted data rather than breaking out the individual pieces:
SELECT nspname || '.' || relname AS "relation", pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size(C.oid)) AS "total_size" FROM pg_class C LEFT JOIN pg_namespace N ON (N.oid = C.relnamespace) WHERE nspname NOT IN ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema') AND C.relkind <> 'i' AND nspname !~ '^pg_toast' ORDER BY pg_total_relation_size(C.oid) DESC LIMIT 20;
Sizes before 8.1
The pg_relation_size functions were introduced in PostgreSQL 8.1. In earlier versions, the following query can be used instead, returning the size in megabytes:
SELECT relname, (relpages * 8) / 1024 AS size_mb FROM pg_class ORDER BY relpages DESC LIMIT 20;
You'll need to account for TOAST yourself here. Bear in mind also that relpages is only up-to-date as of the last VACUUM or ANALYZE on the particular table.
Sizes in 8.4 and later
In 8.4, pg_relation_size was changed to use the regclass type, which means that pg_relation_size(data_type_name) no longer works.

If your car shares the same name as a popular brand of menthol smokes, you might as well go ahead and paint the thing to resemble a gasper pack, right? Of course!
That's what the seller of this '65 Chrysler Newport did, and now- for reasons we don't understand- he's trying to sell this gorgeous machine on eBay. If you've already got a Plymouth Belvedere painted to look like a pack of Belvedere cigarettes, then you owe it to your blackened lungs to add this Mopar to your stable. This tip comes courtesy of JC Whitless, who asked the seller "How many dead prostitutes will fit in the trunk? I need to know if it will hold more than five, as my daily commute route has changed due to carpooling" and got the helpful, if confusingly punctuated, response: "AT LEAST 10 ,,PEOPLE." There ya go!
