Preconstruction Services
Save Client Millions
Over the course of a year, we provided preconstruction services for a two-story, 398,000sf data center. Through in-house mission critical construction expertise, Structure Tone worked with our client to identify their business goals and objectives. Through revisions to the design and value engineering recommendations we devised a solution that met their programmatic need. Originally conceived as a Tier IV facility, we were able to work with the design team and owner to develop a scheme for a Tier III facility (changed from 2(N+1) to Catcher N+1) that met day-one requirements while providing the opportunity to expand efficiently and effectively in both size and capacity and Tier level in the future.
Mission Critical Facility
The new building supports a mission critical operation of over 150,000sf of white space. The facility is concurrently maintainable with fully redundant systems, which include:
- generator and chiller plant—N+2 (seven auxiliary generators)
- substation—2N
The facility was designed and constructed to achieve a total load of 28MW. To achieve this, we built two 138kV substations/switchyards on site. We installed an electric power monitoring system (EPMS), building management system (BMS) and pre-action fire protection and detection system. Within the data centers, we installed the cable plant infrastructure to support all information systems, which was a complete fiber solution.
The entire facility is highly secure, designed and constructed to withstand an explosive event without impact to critical systems or operations continuity.

Sandwiches rule as a lunchtime choice. They're portable, versatile and offer good value. But the bar has been raised on what makes a sought-after sandwich. This simple recipe delivers. It starts with a crusty artisan roll and is filled with fresh, flavorful, top-quality ingredients, including fresh mozzarella and basil.
1 rustique roll or other crusty roll
¼ cup fresh basil pesto
1 tbsp. fresh basil leaves
3 tbsp. sun-dried tomatoes
4 oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced ¼-in. thick

Is there any doubt, Americans love hot dogs? They love them so much, in fact, that during "Hot Dog Season" – Memorial Day to Labor Day – Americans usually eat about 7 billion hot dogs, or 818 hot dogs a second. Surprisingly, Los Angeles residents consume the most hot dogs of any city. Less surprising, the airport where travelers bite up the most hot dogs – Chicago's O'Hare International.
There's just something undeniably delicious about an all-beef hot dog, especially when it's cook to juicy perfection with a sweet and smoky flavor. One of the best tasting and understandably best-selling bargain hot dogs is the Bar-S Beef Frank. It's an all-beef frank that can feed a crowd and save money that can go toward buying something important – like higher-quality liquors.
But as much as we love hot dogs, it's important to be mindful of just how hot dogs can get in the summer. According to the Animal Protection Institute, if it's 85 degrees out, the temperature inside a car, even with the windows left slightly open, can soar to 102 degrees in 10 minutes, and can reach 120 in just half an hour.
At those temperatures, dogs can easily fall victim to heatstroke and die. Working to keep dogs safe, Denice Pruett has invented an illustrated static cling window thermometer that she says "serves as an educational and safety tool." The Too Hot for Spot thermometer, $13, is available directly through Pruett's web site.

US60 - Support NFU's "Market Driven Inventory System"
MDIS uses Farmer Owned Strategic Reserves, etc. to make agribusiness pay fair prices, instead of taxpayer subsidies. | |
MDIS, the "Farmer Owned Reserve" program of the National Farmers Union is an alternative to NFFC's Food from Family Farms Act, and both should be supported. While NFFC's FFFA is the strongest, this asks a different strategic question to Congress, to keep even more pressure on, whenever they say no.
The story of MDIS is that it responds to farm market prices, 1998-2010. Like the NFFC bill, this is backed by econometric studies showing how subsidies can be eliminated (or in this case, greatly reduced,) without devastating family farmers. 1998-2005 we had the lowest farm commodity prices in history (ie. 6+ of 10 lowest, 2010 $.) Then we had some prices 3x higher (but not near record levels, if adjusted for inflation).
This program is set up to make agribusiness pay higher prices during the low period, and also protect consumers, livestock interests, processors, etc. from the much higher prices. It uses a new kind of price floors and ceilings, backed by supply management.
There are progressive proposals for subsidy caps and other farm subsidy reforms, but none of them make agribusiness pay higher prices to farmers. For example, CAFOs benefited hugely from the low prices of 1981-2006, as did the makers of transfats and high fructose corn syrup. Meanwhile Least developed Countries were devastated by US export dumping (at below our costs). We lost money on exports, causing massive food poverty, such as driving 2.4 million Mexican corn farmers off the land. We ran most of our own farmers out of business in the process. They lost "value-added" livestock to CAFOs

Local cloth diaper event educates parents looking to help environment and save money
(WMC-TV) - Have you ever considered cloth diapers? Are the first images that pop in your head large swaths of fabric, pins and plastic pants? If so, then you need to find out how different modern cloth diapers are now.
The modern cloth diaper systems are pin-less, easy to use and better for the environment. Another important factor to busy parents is that modern cloth diapers are easy to wash. The fabrics used now are soft, colorful and comfortable on the delicate skin of babies. They are also easier on the environment.
In the United States alone, 49 million diapers per day (18 billion per year) are thrown away. Disposable diapers go into landfills in which (under ideal conditions) it is estimated that it would take hundreds of years to decompose. Each baby in cloth diapers will help to divert many of these diapers from municipal landfills.

Big topic at the moment and likely to become more important as time goes on. This revolves around privacy and what (and where) information is stored about visitors. Google Analytics (like lots of other systems) is a third-party service that stores information about visitors for analysis later but, and it's a big but, the information is NOT stored by the company operating the web site being visited. The information is stored by Google and that, according to the EU, is a violation of privacy unless the visitor has agreed to share their information with Google.
There is an easy solution. Use you own analytics hosted on your own server and then the information your gather never leaves your organisation. This problem gets particularly tricky if you are using a a number of different analytics services on your site; we have one customer that uses 3 different third-party tracking systems and under EU law the visitor would be required to opt-in to all of the services before any useful information could be gleaned.
Bearing in mind that the biggest brake on conversions occurs when sites put barriers in the way of activity and action adding a number of opt-in pop-ups is going to hose conversion rates.

Hello Beer Friends Nation!
It's that time of year where EVERYONE is swept up in the madness… yes – Beer Friends Final Four Beer Bracket is BACK!
Forget Louisville in the First Round and bubble teams, we're talking ales in the First Round and drinking the suds…
This year we (kinda) followed a regional bracket match up instead of the style like last year.
Brad's Bracket includes beers from Colorado and the Michigan area (somehow Great Lakes snuck in there…). Vote your favorite brew through and pick that Cinderella team, sorry, stout. Pick the winner and hold it over your friends heads until the next year (Brooklyn's Dark Matter anyone?) Beer! Voting!
The 1 vs 16 match up pits Last Years winner, New Belgium's Fat Tire against a stout from Boulder – Avery's Out of Bounds Stout. The Out of Bounds was delicious when infused with coffee, but Fat Tire seems like the fan favorite – should be interesting. See more of this entry for voting!

The secret to the "perfect" burger isn't in the seasoning; it's in the beef! At Whole Foods Market, our hamburger meat is ground fresh, butcher style in each store. We select only muscle meat and follow strict handling guidelines to ensure its quality. The best...
This wonderfully savory bread is terrific with soups and stews, with cheese, or just as a snack loaf. The mix couldn't be easier both to put together and to mix up and bake. For a vegan version, you can substitute plain almondmilk for cow's milk.
As a tasty alternative, omit the mint and baste the cheese-filled squash with garlic-infused olive oil, using a fresh rosemary sprig as your basting brush. If you're cooking outdoors, try grilling the zucchini instead.
A deliciously different take on white lasagna, with little (or no) cheese and big on veggies, here's a healthy, hearty and satisfying meal-in-one.
Perfect for a picnic or back-porch supper, let family and friends reach for a platter of these drumsticks marinated in salsa and orange juice that can be served hot, room temperature or cold.
Heirloom tomatoes come in a rainbow of colors. In the summer, green, striped, yellow, orange and purple tomatoes can be purchased at the market. If available, choose three different colors to make this a gorgeous summer harvest salad.
This delicious (and quick!) yellow cake batter can be swapped into any recipes calling for a box of cake mix.
Fresh asparagus are a sure sign that spring is coming. This easy frittata makes a refreshingly light dinner or lunch. Or serve with biscuits or scones for brunch.
This robust stew-like soup makes a wonderful dinner served with potato latkes and applesauce on the side. Store leftovers in the refrigerator or freeze in containers for future use.
Who can resist a traditional hot Cuban sandwich with thinly sliced meats, pickles and melted cheese on perfectly pan-toasted bread? Our version is not quite traditional, but definitely delicious -- try piling on baby spinach, sliced red onion and roasted red...
Sweet and tart fruit, bitter greens, tangy cheese and luscious candied pecans all come together in perfect harmony. A crowd-pleasing dish that's great for fall family gatherings.
Thanks to the reader who sent in the recipe for this pasta dish full of bright and unexpected flavors. She says, "My kids and I can whip this up in ten minutes! They love to take it for lunch." Sounds like a great idea to us.
Looking to cut down on fat and calories? Cooking food in a packet is one of the best ways to keep the flavor locked in and cleanup couldn't be easier.
Using whole grain macaroni, a small amount of expeller-pressed mayonnaise and raw apple cider vinegar, this lighter version of the classic macaroni salad boasts a bit of crunch from the celery and shallots.
Cremini mushrooms, pumpkin, lentils, herbs and feta cheese are piled on a hearty wheat pastry and baked, yielding a satisfying vegetable pie. Serve with a simple green salad, if you like.

Below is an article of mine published in 'Canoe Kayak UK' magazine a few months ago. Hope it's of interest…
The End
A paddler's guide to Lands End
It's autumn 2007, and I've just completed 49 separate chapters of a guidebook to the fantastic sea kayaking in South West England, totalling about 70000 words. This was a long job, yet I'm still not finished. The final chapter left to write is the chapter on Land's End in Cornwall. I've kept on putting it off, always finding excuses. The problem is, finding words to do it justice. Eventually, I grab a couple of bottles of Doom Bar (splendid Cornish beer) from the fridge and sit in front of my computer. I prod the keyboard with one hand and swig with the other. I bash out 'Chapter 27: Land's End' in a couple of frantic hours, and then sit back and make a few victorious air punches. Having skimmed over what I've written, I ponder for a few moments and then add a final few words;
'the best sea paddle in the South West'.
Anyway…what I thought I might do in this here article, is try to justify that statement. To attempt this, I'm just going to throw a random and disjointed assortment of information, anecdotes and tall tales your way.
The clue is in the name
The clue is in the name, but for those who don't know, Land's End is the extreme west point of England, where Cornwall runs out. West of here, there are only the tiny Isles of Scilly (45 kilometres) and then the next landmass is Canada (3500 kilometres). Incidentally, the proper name for Land's End is Pedn an Wlas. I have no idea how to pronounce that, but neither does anyone else; unfortunately there are no native Cornish speakers left.
Most folk think of Land's End as the specific spot where lycra-clad cyclists get photographed beneath a whimsical 'mileage to faraway places' sign, before embarking on a masochism-fest pedal to John O'Groats in Scotland. They might not know that the cyclists have to cough up significant monies just to stand beneath that sign, and that it's the focal point of a rather tacky and utterly mis-sited children's theme park. Thankfully, this crappy dump goes unnoticed by those paddling below and thankfully, is the only blight on the much larger and utterly magnificent Land's End peninsula.
The Land's End peninsula points west between St Ives on the north coast, and Mount's Bay on the south coast. Whilst every part of this peninsula merits at least an A+, the very best paddling of all is found within the few kilometres north and south of Land's End itself. A paddle between Sennen Cove and Porthgwarra offers something approaching Sea Kayaking Nirvana. Smooth granite cliffs, jagged islets, beckoning tunnels, foaming reefs, translucent surf, sandy beaches, intimidating tide races, abundant wildlife and even a rusting shipwreck await exploration.
My first sighting of Land's End was in 1997, when MC Hammer was cool, and Princess Di was alive (for another fortnight, anyway). I'd bought a sea kayak on a whim and paddled from Bournemouth, wearing a t-shirt and using a holed nylon spraydeck. When I eventually I reached Cornwall I was still alive, but still totally clueless. I wasn't sure where I was finally headed, but liked the sound of Land's End. Be careful what you pray for. Early one morning I launched and paddled past Penzance. I soon spotted an offshore buoy which I now know marks the Runnel Stone. This is where the cliffs turn north a few kilometres south of Land's End, to directly face the open ocean. It's also where two seas collide; the English Channel and the Celtic Sea. My day became a lot more interesting. My memory of the next hour is of gripping the paddle in tight-sphinctered terror as I battled through swells; where had these epic waves appeared from? The blindingly obvious answer is, 'the Atlantic Ocean'…but don't laugh; you had to be there (with my 1997 level of innocence and ignorance) to grasp why this was all a bit of a jolt.
Castellated spires
The thing which sets the cliffs of Land's End apart is the geology. Whether or not you usually get excited about granite, prepare to be astonished. This peculiar rock weathers into distinctive ill-fitting angular blocks, like Brobdingnagian cubes of plasticine squeezed crudely together. Only, lots more attractive than that sounds. What's that, you want to know why it does this? Apologies, I haven't a clue; ask an actual geologist (I did look on the internet, but there were too many long words). Anyway, the upshot of all this for paddlers, is some truly unique formations to explore and play. Perhaps the most distinctive are the two remarkable stacks located just south of Land's End; The Armed Knight is a delicate serrated ridge which improbably defies the full force of the Atlantic, whilst Enys Dodnan is a monolithic island pierced by an awe-inspiring natural archway.
It's late evening and the sun is an amorphous mass of molten metal as it merges into the Atlantic, punctuated only by the lonely offshore lighthouses of Wolf Rock and Longships. With their jointed buttresses and pinnacles, the cliffs around Land's End resemble soaring fortresses with castellated spires. The granite around and above us is set ablaze by the golden light, with quartz, feldspar and mica sparkling brilliantly.
Incidentally, if you think that I'm laying the adjectives on a bit thickly in this article…then I'm guessing that you haven't paddled here yet.
Subject to considerable variation
"Is it just me, or are we paddling against the tide? I thought you were supposed to be checking this stuff beforehand?"
Atlantic swells hitting Land's End get an unimpeded run-up, all the way from Brazil. A clue to just how big the waves get here can be found in the yellow lichen which marks the splash zone on the cliffs. Suffice to say, it's a very long way above sea level indeed. Perhaps consider checking the weather and swell forecast before venturing forth on this serious trip?
Some things are harder to predict. Beardy nautical types use the boringly-reliable Admiralty Pilot books to predict tide flow times. These hefty tomes are a nerd's dream, crammed with numbers and other data. Yet, amazingly, where Land's End is concerned they simply give up. Their description is one short sentence long, and uses the word 'probably' twice, alongside the phrase 'subject to considerable variation'. Hard as it may be to believe in this information-rich age, you'll just have to take a punt on the tides and hope that your guesstimate is right. Pretty well everyone who paddles around Land's End inadvertently finds themselves battling upstream at some point. The key to tackling this uncertainty is to expect and accept it; Land's End is no place for control freaks!
Dorsal fin
We're only five minutes' paddle out of Sennen Cove, when Heather shouts, "Basking shark!" She gives a running commentary as we draw nearer. "It's a small one…two metres long, to judge by the fins". Soon, we too spot the unmistakable dorsal fin, followed closely by the tail fin, swishing the surface in sinuous curves as the shark hoovers up plankton just beneath the surface. We stop paddling, but the shark now approaches us. "Two metres" proves to be a comic misjudgement of scale; the shark is half as long again as our kayaks, and emphasises its awesome length and mass by repeatedly swimming beneath and brushing against their unnervingly fragile hulls. No one moves. Or breathes.
MV RMS Mulheim
According to the testimony of the Chief Officer of the MV RMS Mulheim, he was alone on the bridge on 22nd March 2003 when he accidentally caught his trouser leg on his chair, tripped and knocked himself out. He claims that when he recovered consciousness, all 4000 tonnes of ship and cargo were seconds away from making intimate contact with Land's End. You couldn't make any of this stuff up…probably. The Marine Accident Investigation discovered that the ship's officers had plotted no course or chart positions for the ship's voyage.
This shipwreck resides in Castle Zawn, just north of Land's End. Despite a decade of battering by Atlantic swells, enough of the Mulheim is still intact to dwarf approaching paddlers. This isn't an ideal place to land, on account of the bouldery beach and copious amounts of scrap metal thereabouts. In any case, paddling up close to (or even boarding) this rusting hulk is definitely in 'Don't try this at home' territory. But all that said, it has been done…
Zawn Pyg
I paddle gingerly into the high-sided cave known as Zawn Pyg, unsure what to expect inside. Thankfully, the water within turns out to be completely calm. I pass through to the far end, where this tunnel opens out to the sky again, at a perfect natural swimming pool. I turn around and paddle back. I encourage Claire, "It's fine, go check it out!" No sooner has she entered the tunnel, than a sneaky rolling swell trundles beneath my kayak. It steepens and builds as it reaches the tunnel mouth, then explodes into a morass of foaming white which seemingly fills the entire cave. Oops.
There is no sign of Claire, and the dreadful realisation dawns on me that I should probably do something to help. The problem is, I have absolutely no idea what. Eventually and unexpectedly, she emerges from the zawn…inexplicably unflustered, unharmed and with an intact kayak. I have no idea how she survived the oceanic maelstrom which I'd just witnessed, but mutter something about having been just that very moment about to paddle in and 'rescue' her…
Paddlers who get excited about deep dark tunnels will be in their element (but should probably Google 'Freud'). The granite geology of Land's End means that there are numerous vertically–sided passageways like Zawn Pyg to explore. Land's End itself is pierced by a passage, notable for the strong tide flow passing through. Further south, a truly epic tunnel (go search for it!) leads into the cliff for over a hundred metres before veering sharp right in darkness and stretching for another hundred…before re-emerging into daylight. Note however, that these caves will often be occupied by the local seal population. Be especially carefully around pupping time, between late August and September.
It's five in the morning, and two of us are paddling in pre-dawn light through the tide races at Longships, surrounded by hundreds of swirling birds. "Wow, just look at them!" I shout, "Puffins! Guillemots! Gannets! Fulmars! Petrels! Razorbills! Incredible!" My friend looks back at me, bemused and possibly pityingly. "Seagulls. I see seagulls."
The Longships are a 500 metre long chain of rocks, located a couple of kilometres directly offshore from Land's End. This reef has often been compared to a passing ship, as the 43 metre high Longships Lighthouse gives the impression of a tall mast.
Land's End is an exposed place to paddle in the first place; paddling that little bit further out to Longships increases this commitment significantly. You'll need to ferry glide carefully through several successive tide races, each seemingly larger and steeper than the last…but it's absolutely worth paying the rope out this far. On arrival, you'll be checked out by the locals, the grey seals. These fellows laze on rocks, or float idly in the eddy pools whilst food floats past on the tide races…a natural sushi bar. On our last visit, we experimented with snorkels to roll over and watch the seals in the glassy-clear water. What we actually saw was a lot of seaweed, but our efforts clearly kept the residents amused.
Having written a guidebook about this stuff, I occasionally delude myself that I 'know' Land's End. On this day however, I'm lucky enough to be paddling with a local, and it's him giving me the tour. We're in Nanjizal Bay. The word 'grand' barely seems adequate to describe Nanjizal, but that's what I'm going with, as it's now past midnight. To my south is the tunnel of Zawn Pyg, whilst the cliffs to my north are known as Diamond Horse Cove, because their quartz veins resemble diamonds. All of this stuff, I know. What I didn't know until shown today, was that the sand spit in the centre of this granite amphitheatre forms clean peeling waves at certain states of the tide, waves which allow long rides before petering out safely into deep water; pretty convenient if you fancy surfing a fragile sea kayak. I retrieve my helmet from the back deck, wait for my turn behind Mike, and accelerate down a glassy and transparent wave face…
Further information
This article focuses on the Land's End peninsula between Sennen Cove and Portgwarra, the part which includes Land's End proper. The entire peninsula offers outstanding sea kayaking, however. The paddle along the south coast from Penzance to Porthgwarra takes in some stunningly attractive fishing villages, with the sandy bay of Porthcurno being a highlight. North of Land's End, the paddle to St Ives past Cape Cornwall is a long and committing trip along surprisingly wild coasts. The granite gives way to dark and foreboding basalt, and the cliffs are topped with ghostly ruins of tin mines.

Polypill: Does it treat heart disease?
What is the polypill? Can it prevent or treat heart disease?
from Martha Grogan, M.D.
The term "polypill" describes a pill that contains a combination of several medications commonly used to treat heart disease and high blood pressure. Doctors aren't sure what exact combination of medications should be included in a polypill. It's thought that low doses of each of these medications could be effective:
- Aspirin
- Water pills (diuretics)
- Cholesterol-lowering medications (statins)
- Medications to make your heart beat with less force (beta blockers)
- Medications to help keep your blood vessels open (ACE inhibitors)
The polypill is still being studied and isn't available for sale yet in the United States. Who should take the polypill is still being considered. Doctors are trying to see if the polypill should be given as a preventive measure for people who haven't had a heart attack or stroke or as a treatment option for people who have already had a heart attack or stroke.

Noun | 1. | ism – a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school |
At first I thought about becoming an Ismist. This would be someone who believes in beliefs about believing, I suppose. Thank God I didn't go down this path because beliefs can be dangerous. Detrimental at very least. They may even block one from the Truth and have one bomb their brothers for their beliefs. Ismism would end up being one dead-end after the other. It is best to free yourself and listen.
Later, I felt that it would be more appropriate to conform to Schismism. The belief in religious conundrums. I am sure that I wouldn't be the worlds first Schismist but I would be the first to name it and proselytize a fresh batch of idiots to join the latest popular cult. I would be clever and cunning about it too. Maybe even where a half white, half black robe for effect. Perhaps, even be a lead singer or drummer of a band?
My friend Reid and I came up with the idea of creating the church of the eighth day Adventists. It would be a "new" revelation of the "truth" that God, in fact had created an eighth day and those following the seven-day week have been fooled. And of course, were destined for eternal damnation. We thought it would be fun, for effect, to both wear white and speak in unison when recruiting.
Then I seriously had to ask myself the following questions:
Why on Earth am I creating fake religions in my head? Am I that bored? Does God really want me to start recruiting fellow Schisimists? Would Schismists eventually attack Ismists? What the fuck are all of these people who profess doctrinal beliefs that are founded on peace and love doing fighting each other?
No this is not my path. I am here to observe life and participate with love.
That being said, I do still think it would be funny to start a fake religion and watch droves of fools (who I do love but realize that nothing I say will save them from themselves) march like sheep to a slaughter. The more absurd, the better.

The Chunky-Dunk
Recently I spent an entire weekend trolling the waterfront for taxi fares, a strategy that did not go unrewarded. At Waterfront Park, the Vermont Brewers Festival was in full swing, and the whole town was packed and rocking. The intermittent thunderstorms that kept rolling across the lake only upped the taxi demand.
Yes, I understand the gourmet appeal of microbrews — but, with due respect to the sexy esoterica of hops, oats and barley, the three-day event is essentially one more excuse to go out with friends and get hammered. Don't get me wrong: I heartily endorse this type of recreational activity so long as the revelers don't get behind a wheel. My suggestion: Go Dionysian all night and then hail a cab. Hey, I'm just saying . . .
Amid the rain and the hubbub, two couples commandeered my taxi in front of ECHO. As they climbed into their seats, I noticed that all four of them were extra-large folks; even the two women probably tipped the scales at 240 apiece, and the men were larger still.
"Whew," my seatmate exhaled, tousling his curly hair with a free hand. "This is one crazy town you got here, brother."
"Yeah, that it is," I said. "Especially this weekend. Where am I taking you folks?"
The two women and the other man were still positioning themselves in the back of the cab. It was door-to-door humanity. One of the women, with red hair and a beaming smile, reached over the seat and squeezed the man's shoulder. "What was the name of the place, hon? Was it the Econo Lodge we ended up in?"
"Yeah, Rhonda, that was it," he responded. "On Shelburne Street."
"Yup, I got it," I said, shifting the cab into drive. "The Econo Lodge it is."
As we wended our way through the waterfront district, I could see the couple in the back kissing, and tenderly — not your typical backseat groping. Beside them, Rhonda said, "Randy, what are we going to do with these two? Can't they, like, at least wait until they get back to their room?"
Randy turned his head, staring severely at his amorous friends and comically shaking his head. "Guys, the honeymoon was last summer. Plus, Joe — you're gonna start making me look bad in front of my wife."
"What can I tell you?" Joe said with a laugh. "It's love, man. I got a sexy wife."
I was starting to fall in love with all four of these people. They were carefree and earthy and seemed to be enjoying life to the hilt. Their plus-sized bodies were apparently no impediment; they were fully OK with who they were, and how many of us can say that?
I thought of a dear friend, one of the loveliest people I know. Among other pursuits, she works in various organizations devoted to world peace and reconciliation. She is a light in a dark world. She's also significantly overweight and has spoken of the verbal abuse she takes from complete strangers on the street. How is it socially permissible to hurl insults at large people in public? Knowing her as I do, it breaks my heart.
"So, what were the favorite beers you sampled at the festival?" I asked.
"I liked that Portland beer," Randy replied. "I think the brand name was Shipyard."
"I don't know," Joe said. "I still gotta go with our local favorite, Smuttynose."
"Smuttynose?" I said. "That's a great name for a beer. What town is it brewed in?"
"It's brewed in our town — Portsmouth, New Hamshuh," Joe's wife interjected.
"New Hamshuh, huh?" I said with a chuckle.
"Ayup," Joe affirmed. "New Hamshuh."
We reached their hotel, and Randy instructed me to drive them around to the back units. As we passed the guest pool, he said, "Honey, do you know what I'm totally in the mood for now that this rain has let up?"
"Oh, God," Rhonda replied. "I dare not guess."
"A chunky-dunk, baby — a chunky-dunk."
This was too cool for me to pass up. I asked, "What the heck is a chunky-dunk?"
Smiling broadly, Randy said, "It's when folks of a certain size take a midnight cannonball into the pool – au naturel, of course."
"Oooh, baby," I said. "That sounds awesome. Can I join you?"
"I don't know," Randy said. "You don't exactly qualify."
"Aw, c'mon. Can't I be, like, honorary?"
"What do ya say, folks?" Randy put it to the jury in the back seat. "Can our cabbie here take an honorary chunky-dunk?"
"Sure, why not?" Joe gave the green light on behalf of the group. "He seems to be a righteous dude."
I'm not saying whether I took the plunge that night or not, but the stories I could tell . . .

Locally run and locally focused, Hogwild is a real throwback. It took luck and skill for any record store to survive the big digital meltdown, but Hogwild did it by remaining the kind of hardcore connoisseur joint that harkens back to the '80s: buttons, stickers, pins, 'zines, flyers, and a boss selection of metal and punk. The prices are a throwback, too: hardly a visit goes by without turning up a rare find with a surprisingly reasonable price tag. San Antonio's one-stop shop for the rock 'n' roll lifestyle reminds you of the very tangible joys of the physical side of music.

Reviews & ratings
Have been here several times and would like this to be a decent neighbourhood restaurant but the service is so inconsistent, at times excellent and at times matey and at other times really downright rude. There is a really terrible 'too cool for skool' waitress who really spoilt our night a few weeks ago. She basically looked us up and down and then decided we were not worth serving. I for one will not return. I am disappointed because I wanted this place to succeed.

Hardly room to sit. Food was pleasant, but very basic, small plates are served for a very high price. We live just around the corner but are unlikely to return.

I approached this place with caution after reading some of the reviews mentioning bad service but found the staff to be very friendly and welcoming when I went. A bit on the pricey side (for my wallet) but good food I thought. The red wine chocolate cake was so delicious will certainly be going back for more.

I like the food, I really like the 'idea' of this place, and I think it's what the neighbourhood needs. But it's all badly let down by the service. It's not rude - it's actually worse than that because rudeness would imply that they paid enough attention to have some sort of reaction. It's just careless, thoughtless and exudes a sense that they're not really that bothered whether you're there or not.
And it's not cheap, so fundamentally you're better off going somewhere where they act like they give a shit.Hackneylady Fri Nov 2 2012Rated as: 2/5 -
Went there this evening with 2 colleagues. Food was excellent as was service. Waitress friendly with big smile. Service really good. Friendly and busy. Definitely going back !!!

I took some friends here for dinner and was a real disappointment for them and for me.
Food was average. Far from the fine dining experience the owners probably think they are offering to the customers. Will not be going back or recommend this place to anyone.
This is just yet another trendy and pretentious place in Dalston.Isa Sat Sep 15 2012Rated as: 1/5 -
I love the fact that the staff don't kiss ass (Its self respect, not rudeness!). People with children think the world revolves around their little darlings, don't they? Great, simple restaurant, often fantastic food.

i think i have too been served by 'the cave dweller', aka the woman/owner. these reviews are completely correct, she is flippin awful. I eat here alot and the food is fantastic, so why bring it down with your terrible service!? Seems almost furious that people have come in to eat. When will they realise and sack her already? Thankfully plenty of really lovely staff who have made up for it. (5 stars for food... 1 for service.!)
josie Fri Aug 10 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
Rude service and overpriced food. I've been twice now, once for lunch when the service was very slow - about 25 minutes for some pate and toast despite being the only person there. I went another time for breakfast, when I went to sit at a 2 person table. I was told by the waitress (owner?) not to sit there as it was "booked" - and moved to a ten person table, despite only one other table being occupied for the whole duration. Food was mediocre and OJ was 2.50 for a minuscule glass which was all thrown on the table with a barely discernible grunt. She then berated the waiter for overcharging me in front of me as if I wasn't there, quite uncomfortable.
Won't be returning.Peter Sun May 27 2012Rated as: 2/5 -

album | WUGAZI • 13 chambers
Posted: Juli 21st, 2011 | Author: rees | Filed under: mp3, review | Tags: fugazi, hip-hop, mashup, post-hardcore, US, wu-tang clan, wugazi | No Comments »Cecil Otter und Swiss Andy did a fantastic job on producing this mashup-album called «Wugazi / 13 Chambers». It contains material from two albums by collectives who immortalized themselves with their sound back in the 90′s: 13 Songs by Washington's Fugazi and Enter the 36 Chambers by New York's very own Wu-Tang Clan.

Pastor-celebrity-cult-status seeking. Sinful me-sim:
More than 10 million people watch Joel Osteen's television broadcast each week, and soon viewers will be able to see how the pastor of America's largest church lives outside of Lakewood.
A new reality show will follow the Osteens' ministry as they serve and inspire people across the U.S., Lakewood confirmed.
TMZ broke the news, with details from the show's producer, Mark Burnett:
"Survivor" producer Mark Burnett is teaming up with Joel Osteen for a primetime network show in 2012, TMZ has learned.
Burnett tells TMZ, the premise of the show is that ordinary people will give up several days or longer to go on a mission with Joel Osteen, one of the most popular pastors in the world. All of the missions will be in the confines of US soil to "start fixing things."
Over the years, "just about every studio in Hollywood" has pitched show ideas to the Osteens, but they've always turned them down, until now, said Don Iloff, Lakewood spokesman.
The Osteens have been friends with Burnett and his wife Roma Downey, who are Christians and have visited Lakewood in the past, and they trust Burnett's vision and expertise in the reality TV medium.
The program is in its early planning stages and has not secured a network to air it or even a name yet. The Osteen ministry team hopes it provides uplifting, positive programming that will bring families together to watch…
From Hollywood's perspective, it's not necessarily about the content, but the marketability and profitability of such programs, said Richard Flory, an expert in American Christianity at the Center for Religion and Civic Culture at the University of Southern California.
"It's a different twist on this kind of short-term mission trip evangelicals have done for a long time," said Flory of the proposed Osteen show. "It turns it into an entertainment model, where you feel good watching it, people feel good doing it and Joel Osteen gets exposure."
Perish the thought! I mean, who the heck cares what Osteen does in his own time. He ain't Jesus! Gosh, it's enough to drive any God-fearing person to throw away the TV, for good! The whole Osteen idea makes one sick, to the gut! Forget about him and prime time TV. Your time is far better spent reading your Bibles! Please!!!

The Auburn Town Tavern in Auburn has two entrances. One at the front of the narrow brick building leads to the smoke-free family room. Another about halfway down the right side of the building leads to the bar where smoking is allowed.
Inside, a double archway with neon Colts and Pacers Bud Light signs separates the rooms.
Gary Hershberger of Auburn rests a hand on the wooden bar as he chats with a man in a baseball cap sipping beer on one of the bar stools.
July 1 marks Hershberger's 30th year owning and operating the Town Tavern, famous among locals for its Alaska whitefish and plate-sized pork tenderloins.
But on July 1, Indiana's first-ever smoke-free air law goes into effect, forcing Hershberger to choose between catering to smokers and catering to families.
"People were just in here talking about it today," Hershberger said Thursday afternoon. "It could put me out of business. But we won't know until it happens."
The new law requires most enclosed public places, workplaces and restaurants to be smoke-free unless they choose to limit their clientele to customers age 21 and older. It also requires smokers to stand at least 8 feet from entrances to nonsmoking establishments when they light up outside.
Fort Wayne will not be affected by the new law because local ordinances are already more restrictive. But the law will affect smaller cities with less restrictive local ordinances, such as Auburn, New Haven, Bluffton and Huntington.
"It's going to be a level playing field statewide, which I think is a good thing," said Sen. Travis Holdman, R-Bluffton.
The ban's purpose is to protect employees and customers from secondhand smoke in public places and workplaces.
"In a workplace, you don't have the option to get away from someone smoking next to you," said adult nurse practitioner Linda Kerr at the Parkview Women's Health Center.
But the ban's exemptions rather than its restrictions are causing the greatest concern. Smoking will still be allowed in most bars, taverns, membership clubs, tobacco retail shops, cigar bars, hookah bars, casinos and outdoor public places.
But business owners like Hershberger contend the smoking ban does not account for the effect exemptions will have on businesses that serve families and smokers. Unlike most taverns, Hershberger's Auburn Town Tavern permits smoking and operates as a family restaurant.
"I'll lose my smokers to another business, which isn't fair," Hershberger said. "If they're going to make us nonsmoking, they should make everywhere nonsmoking."
And Hershberger isn't alone. American Legion Post 243 in Ligonier sought a preliminary injunction Thursday in U.S. District Court to prevent the state from enforcing the smoking ban, arguing it is too vague and violates the equal protection clause of the state and federal constitutions.
The ban exempts private clubs, such as American Legion posts, from the smoking ban, but it also says facilities that permit smoking can't allow children to enter. According to the lawsuit, the Ligonier post permits smoking and has about 20 children in the facility each week.
The Ligonier post says the ban fails to describe with "sufficient particularity" how individuals or entities must satisfy the law.
Other business owners like Greg Jacquay, owner of the Trion Tavern in New Haven, aren't as concerned.
Jacquay decided to make the Trion smoke-free rather than close its family room. He says only 2-3 percent of his customers smoke, so it won't affectbusiness.
"It's the future," Jacquay said. "A lot of people in here already walk outside to smoke as if they were in Fort Wayne."
Medical professionals like Kerr say smoke-free laws in the workplace help smokers quit.
The International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Project's 2008-2009 survey of more than 4,000 smokers in four European countries found that smoking bans in the workplace encourage smokers to light up less often at home.
"Anytime a community or state makes a smoke-free change, particularly in workplace settings, you suddenly have greater populations of smokers who feel backed up against a wall," Kerr said, adding that smokers should plan with family, friends and their primary care providers before they quit.
But other Hoosiers think the smoke-free legislation debate is less about health and more about rights.
Sen. Dennis Kruse, R-Auburn, voted against the smoking ban because he feels it oversteps the fundamental rights of private property owners.
"When you own private property, (what you do) should be up to you," Kruse said. "I'm not a smoker, and I don't like being around smoking, but I think the private property rights supersede the nonsmoking rights."
Hershberger isn't a smoker either. He opened smoke-free Shorty's Steakhouse in Garrett, six years ago with his friends Lisa and Scott Walter.
"We made Shorty's nonsmoking by choice," Hershberger said. "This is different."

About Brachypodium distachyon
In common with the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, Brachypodium distachyon has several features that recommend it as a model plant for functional genomic studies especially in the grasses. Traits that make it an ideal model include its small genome (~355 Mbp), small physical stature, a short lifecycle, and few growth requirements. Brachypodium is related to the major cereal grain species but is understood to be more closely related to the Triticeae (wheat and barley) than to the other cereals.

Analysis of the bread wheat genome using comparative whole genome shotgun sequencing
As part of the wheat genome analysis, we have aligned a set of identified Triticum aestivum (bread wheat) gene sequences and homoeologous SNPs (SNPs between the component A, B, and D genomes of wheat) against the Brachypodium distachyon genome.
Currently, the size and complexity of the wheat genome precludes a chromosome-scale assembly. However, significant sequences resources have been used to produce a gene-space assembly, included here in the syntenic context of brachypodium, a model cereal and pooid relative of wheat.
Sequences of diploid progenitor and ancestral species permitted homoeologous SNPs to be classified into two groups, 1) SNPs that differ between the A and D genomes (where the B genome is unknown) and, 2) SNPs that are the same between the A and D genomes, but differ in B.
The wheat gene alignments and the projected wheat SNPs are available on the Location view, as additional tracks under the "Wheat SNPs and alignments" section of the "Configure This page" menu. Click here for example.
Wheat RNA-Seq and EST dataset have also been aligned to the Brachypodium distachyon genome:- 454 RNA-seq data, from the study, ERP001415, were aligned using GMAP. Click here for example.

Ben Cohen has been kept on his toes after he was sent to ballet lessons as part of this week's training for Strictly Come Dancing.
The former rugby star was being propped up at the barre, rather than the bar, as professional partner Kristina Rihanoff took him along to make him a little more nimble.
Kristina has previously voiced her concerns about how much weight training he has been doing, which him much too stiff and bulky for dancing.
Ben who was getting into shape for his waltz to What The World Needs Now did not have to look tutu silly during his ballet lesson - sticking to a t-shirt and sweatpants rather than tights and legwarmers.
He said: "The ballet was good. It told me a lot about my posture, I know I've got terrible posture - that is what this dance is all about posture and frame. So hopefully I'll remember all the little bits and bobs and can do it on the night.
And he hoped that former Royal Ballet principal dancer Darcey Bussell, who joined the judging panel, will notice an improvement.
Ben added: "The ballet lesson helped by giving me have a good stretch. It helped me get some poise for the waltz - I hope Darcey notices."
