Love these wacky updates to the characters. Rollermaster is Straxis and Choppermaster is Micromaster Blaze Master. Nicer decos than in the US.
A whole battle in a box. Rollermaster is a unique recolor of the more common Icepick PCC toy, while Choppermaster is a recolor of the Searchlight PCC toy. Both can combine with the drones from their toy line to form a super robot, and come with a weapon Micron partner. I plan to get more of this line from Plamoya.

March 26th
Today was the last round of the winter league at Partridge lakes and it has been a very long series which was probably down to the fact that we wasnt in contention since Christmas after a lot of poor draws and also poor displays by all of us in the squad but that's the way it goes sometimes , anyway on to the match and on arriving at the fishery we was greeted with blue skies , hardly any wind but a significant drop in overnight temperature and i even had to defrost the car before i set off which i figured would make the fishing a bit difficult .
After meeting up with the rest of the team it was my turn to do the draw and i joined the queue around the middle , it soon came round for my turn in the bag of doom and yet again we had a fairly average set of pegs which wasnt surprising to be honest as we had all got used to sitting in dodgy areas ;
Willow peg 18
Covey five peg 107
Covey six peg 141
Marsh peg 11
The later of them was my home for the next few hours and i had fished both peg twelve and fourteen over the winter managing second in section both times , so i had a good idea on how to fish it but it was going to be a low weight affair which is usually something that i am quite good at but today is a different day and we will see how things pan out .On arriving at my home for the next few hours it was nearly 14m to the far bank where i had a mixture of bare bank and reed beds which was good but i also had the big hill behind meaning i had to break down twice , i decided to set up a few rigs to cover my options ;
Margin top four towards the empty peg to my right were it was nearly four-foot deep and i was going to feed 4mm pellets here by hand so i used a 4×12 maggie float with a bulk plus two dropper shotting pattern , my main line was the usual 014 garbo with a six-inch 010 garbo hook length that had a size 18 guru pellet hook .
Top four directly in front of me which i was going to lose feed maggots by hand it was nearly five foot here so i used a 4×12 maggie float with a bulk plus two dropper shotting pattern , my main line was the usual 014 garbo with a six-inch 010 garbo hook length that had a size 18 guru maggot hook .
I used the same rig for fishing down the track at nine meters towards my left and i would pot in pellets on this line .
Far bank swim were it was about four-foot deep and i set up two rigs on this line because i was unsure on what bait they wanted today , i had a 4×14 roob float for my pellet fishing which had an inch spread bulk starting above the four-inch 010 garbo hook length and my other rig for maggots was a 4×12 maggie float with a bulk and dropper shotting pattern along the 014 garbo main line which had a six-inch 010 hook length
Bait for the day was a bit of a mixture on my side tray as i had ;
1 pint of red maggots
1 pint of hard 4mm pellets
1 pint of soaked micros
small tub of 2+4mm expanders
When the all in sounded i fed my margin with half a dozen 4mm pellets and through the same amount of maggots on to my top four swim i was going to do the same every ten minutes to hopefully build them up for later in the match , i then shipped out to my marker at the left hand side of the reed bed with my pellet rig and after tapping in a few micros i lowered my float over the top of it , it took about 15 minutes and three feeds before i even had an indication a similar amount of time passed before i had my first fish which was a nice stamp f1 which put up a good fight on my 6-8 map hollow elastic and i think it's about time i stepped it up a touch before my next match .
Another 15 minutes passed before i had my next fish but i had noticed that i would get indications on my float every time that i tapped in a few micros and even in this early stage of the match i made the decision to plumb up into some shallower water and i found around three-foot towards the right of the far bank reed bed , while it settled down i gave my maggot rig a try over my original pellet swim i had a 4mm expander on the hook which would allow for a slow fall of the hook bait and i hoped this might grab the attention of any passing fish but unfortunately this didn't work for me . It was now time to try my new pellet swim and it took some time to build up the line but after a while i managed another f1 plus a bonus carp about 3lb , a bite less thirty minutes had me scratching my head but on looking around it was noticeable that everybody was struggling for bites and i decided to give my other swims a try , i had a quick look on my margin swim but apart from a few gudgeon it was a waste of time and i made the decision to up the amount that i was feeding here , my next swim to try was my top four maggot and i had a good run of fish here the only trouble was that they were two ounce silvers not exactly what i wanted to catch , dropping onto my channel swim didn't produce a single indication for the next two hours + thirty minutes i rotated my near swims set up multiple far bank lines and i failed to catch anything other than small silvers .
Things wasnt looking good but with just forty minutes of the match remaining and the wind changed around a touch meaning that i now had a ripple in front of me , it's surprising how such little things can make a big impact because with in ten minutes of going back to the far bank with my pellet rig i missed my first indication in ages this focused my attention and i soon had another f1 in the net , then another quickly followed but after that little flurry of bites i had a ten minute wait before my bristle lifted up a touch i was just going to re set my float when it shot under and i had a spirited fight with another bonus carp then just before the all out i managed another f1 .
So that was the end of the match and a rather frustrating one it was too as i had a good start and end but the middle of the match was just plain awful , although after speaking to the other anglers it was the same for every one apart from the lad to my left who managed to sneak in a few fish by dobbing corn all along the far bank , which is something that i should have done to because i knew that on the previous days open match on the coveys a lot of people had caught doing it , when the scales arrived at the lake i walked down to watch the lads in my section weigh in and the lad on the end peg managed 23lb most of which he caught in the last hour when the wind pushed the fish his way , the others had a similar match to me i had 13lb to beat for the section second my net went nearly 17lb so a pretty standard two points yet again but I'm not sure i could have done much different today and to show how bad marsh canal fished i somehow managed to finish third on the lake .
When i met up with the rest of the lads we had yet another shocker of a day ending up with 15 points and we was all a bit deflated as we finished sixteenth overall a bit of a come down from last year when we finished sixth , personally i have had an up and down series ;
Round two piper lake for third in section and the team ended up with nine points .
Round three covey six for forth in section and the team ended up with twelve points .
Round four covey five for last in section and the team had a proper shocker with nineteen points .
Round five marsh canal for second in section and the team had fifteen points .
Round seven willow pool for a section win and the team ended up with nine points for joint second on the day .
Round eight willow pool last in section and team ended up with sixteen points .
Round nine covey six for third in section and team ended up with seventeen points .
Round ten marsh canal for second in section and team ended up with fifteen points .
So that's the Partridge winter league over for another year and on to my new venture with Daiwa Adlington where i will be contesting the teams of three spring league at Cunneries fishery which i am really looking forward too .

CRE Strategies for the "New Normal" of the Oil & Gas Industry
Feb. 13, 2017
By: Bruce Rutherford, International Director of JLL's Global Energy Practice Group
Surviving the downturn has been the name of the game with layoffs, bankruptcies, and mergers and acquisitions dominating energy headlines in recent years. Subleasing excess space has been the primary option for reducing CRE costs, but additional coping strategies exist.
JLL's Energy Practice Group will offer market insights and expertise on real estate strategies for energy companies at the NAPE Summit, Feb. 15-17, in Houston.
As the down cycle creates a newer, leaner oil and gas industry, companies post-recovery are likely to look very different. Extreme measures taken to stay financially sound in the short term will undoubtedly impact real estate footprints long into the future. Based on pricing fluctuations seen in the market over the last two years, this will likely mean modeling business metrics predicated on the "new normal" of oil hovering around half the price of that seen during the 2011-2014 boom.
From a CRE standpoint, this means utilizing more diverse occupancy strategies. Key to this will be thoroughly vetting expansion plans while simultaneously moving toward more efficient space layouts for employees. Both strategies will result in a smaller office footprint. In addition, consolidation into single, enormous campuses or leases – a trend that defined the last decade of oil and gas company movement – may have run its course, as tenants look to be more agile by taking less space with more flexible terms. The product of this strategy has been energy tenants opting to move into sublease options. A trend seen in Houston where energy companies make up the majority of full-floor subleases signed in 2016.
Co-working has also emerged as an option for the industry, as locations multiply in major cities across the country. Some specific locations like "Start" in Houston have already added energy firms to their roster. While most co-working tenants today are smaller in size and focused on renewable energy, expect more traditional energy firms to follow in years to come.
Another emerging space utilization and cost-cutting technique in energy markets is called "chalk-lining." Chalk-lining is a flexible sublease arrangement where a tenant carves out a block of space on a floor for another tenant. This allows companies to cohabitate in a mutually beneficial relationship according to specific space needs. Firms with excess space are able to minimize the cost and disruption of building out walls while simultaneously reducing their rent obligation.
As these trends take root, they will have substantial implications for both existing and future office space needs in energy-centric markets given the move toward a slimmer and more flexible industry footprint.
To learn more about the various real estate strategies available to reduce costs and improve operations, stop by booth #3015 at NAPE.

File this under Bad News That Could Be Worse... In the wee hours of Saturday morning, former Carolyn Wonderland bassist and Jug O' Lightnin' drummer and universally beloved local figure Chris King was involved in a serious one-car accident on West Alabama. King was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital with a serious head injury, and has been in a coma since then, though King's ex-wife Kathy says that doctors are planning to bring him out fairly soon.
"This is not a cakewalk, this is not nothing, there will probably be several months' recovery," says Kathy King. "But right now, there's nothing out there to make me believe that he's not gonna be okay."
Houston's music scene can get pretty bitchy, but in my damn-near seven years covering it, I've never heard a single disparagement of Chris King, not even one made in jest. To paraphrase one of his rare recorded vocal performances, Houston fuckin' loves Chris King. Y'all showed as much when you voted the bespectacled drummer-bassist with the flowing Old Testament beard Local Musician of the Year in 1995 and Best Bassist on multiple occasions.
But Kathy advises you to hold off on the flowers and visits for now. He's not quite well enough to enjoy your presence and your bouquets – yet.
"I've been through this stuff before [with our son], and I think I'm not being recklessly optimistic," Kathy says. "Neurologists are always overly-pessimistic, and reading between the lines I really believe that he's gonna be fine."

A lot of people make the mistake of installing spy-ware bundled with time-syncing software. Just because there are so many programs that offer this. It's strange that they do, because you don't need any program to sync your PC with a time server. That capability is built in to the OS if you have NT-2000-XP or better (linux).

At one time it was thought that the substance known as Anagra Estratius, or Devouring Fire, was an alchemical substance, tainted by the infernal components that went into its making. It is now known not to be the truth. It has been found to be indeed an infernal creature. Somewhat base perhaps, but they have their uses.
The process for creating this substance is macabre and somewhat unsophisticated in its nature . We need not go into too much detail, save that it involves effluent from a Brass Bull with the more pure a 'subject' the better. The process for creating the Anagra not in truth creation, but a summons. Little more is needed beyond the rendered oil and the desire to bring forth the Anagra - any words or rituals purely serve as a focus and their details are largely irrelevant. The Anagra want to come.
The Anagra can choose to burn only the small volume it touches, or it can - more typically, ignite massive, uncontrolled fires. Regardless of the size of the fire it causes, no Anagra has been seen to grow larger then would be needed to engulf a human. Anagra can move, but only from flammable to flammable materials. Vegetation, no matter how green, is considered to be flammable, as is flesh.
This is not in fact true - Anagra have even consumed a Dragon, though that was a willing sacrifice.
The fire, which so readily spreads, is in fact an infernal spirit. It appears as a unusually active yellow-red flame that can change colors from time to time, in deference to the Anagra's temperament. Unholy glee sees the flame burn intense scarlet. Fear - rare but possible - a near white straw-colored flame. When it is foul and brooding, or when it decides to enshroud a mortal, it is a sickening green.
I mentioned the enshrouding of a mortal. The Anagra is capable of burning a mortal spiritually while leaving their body mostly intact. The process causes the soul of the mortal to either be devoured and merged with the Anagra, or to flee to whatever final fate awaits it. In its place, part or all of the Angara remains in the body, which is now available for its use. The possession typically gives the body an unpleasant, greenish cast, but also grant demonic strength and durability to the form. Those only partially possessed are held in thrall by the Anagra, with rudiments of the being's old personality and knowledge remaining in what are little more then zombie forms. These can survive in this form for several days before crumbling into ash. Fully possessed individuals instead have a halo of flame that leaves the being's flesh and possessions uncharred, and give the Anagra hands and voice to interact with our world. A body can only contain the full Anagra for a few hours before a sudden and complete incineration. Until such time, enshrouded beings are very resistant to mundane fire.
As one would expect, water and smothering are agents effective at controlling an Anagra, but are not sufficient to destroy it or banish it from our realm. The fires it ignites can be put out normally, though perhaps with difficulty, considering how thorough it usually immolates its surroundings. Water allied with divine enchantment is its main weakness, though other magic can inflict pain upon it.
Anagra can be contained as would most fires - with metal or stone, ideally fortified by magic. However, the greatest care must be made to keep unprotected flammable materials well away from it, for should it ignite it, it will leave whatever bounds it has in a flash.
The Anagra are in fact manifestations of Gluttony, and is a child of a greater demon yet unnamed and undocumented. It exists to consume without creation. It leaves not even ash from what it burns. An Anagra holds no love for its summoner, who must bind it to his service by magic or by cunning containment. There are tales of some who have managed to hold it by promise, or cow it with fear, but those have not been substantiated. Occasionally Anagra display greater complexity to their motives than simple lust to consume, but these are rare indeed.
Associated Items
Svedrian's Torch
This foul device has an Anagra bound to with strong sorcerous bonds. Svedrian uses it specifically to enshroud his victims, using them as short-lived troops. The Anagra within the torch is capable of maintaining up to 20 concurrent victims, but may enshroud a victim no more frequently than 1 per minute. The torch overrides the Anagra's control of the thralls and also prevents it from fully enshrouding them as well.
Plot Ideas
The Anagra is more abstract than typical demons, and many who have been victimized by them had no idea they were dealing with the infernal.
Some structure of great importance to the PCs is afire and they plunge in, attempting to combat it, or rescue someone trapped within. They quickly find that it is no ordinary fire they are battling, and they may encounter enshrouded victims within the flames.
Children of the Flame
The PCs find an isolated tribe during their travels, who happen to worship one of these creatures bound to a massive brazier. The temple has a decidedly Indiana Jones feel to it. Sacrifices are thrown onto the brazier and are usually simply burned to nothingness. Occasionally they are Enshrouded and these are seen as 'test's for the tribes warriors who usually are able to destroy them.
The Fire's Secret
The PCs need to deal with one of these things, due to special knowledge that it has. This one is ancient and has enemies, and so requests one of these be captured, alive, and brought to him. Of course, this enemy will be by no means weak, nor would his or her disappearance be unnoticed. And of course, the entire thing is a trap.
For influences, one can seek Howl's Moving Castle and the classic Heavy Metal..

The Right Wants Race Riots In Denver
What is it with the wingnuts and their fantasies about riots in Denver?
The other night on MSNBC's Hardball, Michelle Bernard of the right-wing Independent Women's Forum chimed in on a discussion of Hillary Clinton's hopes for winning the Democratic nomination resting on what might happen at the Democratic National Convention in Denver:
BERNARD: Hillary Clinton is going to become the Ron Paul of the Democratic party. There's no way the super delegates can take this away from Barack Obama. There will be race riots in the streets if he wins enough super delegates—
Everyone interrupts at this point with laughter, but presumably Bernard was about to finish along the lines of "– and Clinton manages to still take the nomination."
Seemingly, Bernard was making this pronouncement from the vantage of actually being African American, though in reality, Bernard is as much a spokesperson for black people as her IWF colleagues Kate O'Beirne and Charlotte Allen are for women. As dnA at Two Sense observes, Bernard recently penned a column complaining about blacks' use of the N-word and acidly notes:
My closest friends call me nigga all the time and it's never offended me. But Bernard just called us all niggers on TV, and she didn't even have to use the word.
But Bernard is in fact just parroting an increasingly common hope among Republicans and wingnuts generally — that the Denver convention will produce race riots if Obama is denied the nomination. Back in January, the Ole Perfesser and the Spawn Of Lucianne were heard speculating along the same lines (ably limned, as always, by Glennzilla).
And then there's Rush Limbaugh, who's been running his "Operation Chaos" schtick with the intention of making that fantasy a reality.
And the only thing it tells us about the American right, really, is how they view black people.
Rick Perlstein likes to point out that one of the main reasons that movement conservatism is floundering right now is that its whole conception of liberals is based on an antiquated view of effete urban liberalism from the 1960s, embodied by former New York Mayor John Lindsay. It's an image it was successful at selling for a long time, but it's running aground on the rocks of reality in large part because today's progressives no longer fit the description.
The same could be said of the stereotypes of African Americans the right is fond of propagating: violent, criminally inclined, likely to riot at a moment's notice. A lot of those stereotypes were similarly built out of the 1960s, though many of them well precede that.
And not only are they antiquated, they were never true in the first place. But Republicans will cling to them all the way down into the political abyss.
The only real concern progressives should have about this is: What will the wingnuts do when they're disappointed by the lack of riots in Denver? Knowing them as we do — and how in recent years they've become capable of anything — it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to start their own.

Open Lines, Tuesday, 1-15-13
Guest: Open Lines with Dr. David Livingston. Topics: This was a wide ranging discussion on many space topics & related issues. Please direct all comments and questions regarding Space Show programs/guest(s) to the Space Show blog, https://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments and questions should be relevant to the specific Space Show program. Written Transcripts of Space Show programs are a violation of our copyright and are not permitted without prior written consent, even if for your own use.

Space Show programs can be quoted, but the quote must be cited or referenced using the proper citation format. Contact The Space Show for further information. We talked about many topics and issues on this 2 hour 40 minute program. In the first segment, ITAR reform was discussed and Andrew of the Tea Party In Space in his discussion also advocated for the resumption of manufacturing Plutonium 238. We got caught off but he called back in the second segment. Charles called to advocate for small markets & an incremental approach. He continues working on Microlaunchers. John from Atlanta called to talk about strange lights over Detroit. We had a good time talking about the mysterious Detroit sightings which you can easily see pictures of & find out more if interested with a very simple Google search. John also wanted to talk about our recent advanced propulsion program about warp drive and interstellar physics. If you have not heard that program from Jan. 4, 2013, I strongly recommend you do listen to it. Space budget, economic and sequestration issues came up in this segment as well. We also talked about the bankruptcy sale of special battery company A123 to China and the fact that this includes sensitive military technology. Listeners expressed a variety of opinions about this matter. Perri provided us with this Forbes story on the matter: www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2012/12/12/china-wins-u-s-loses-in-a123-bankruptcy. I also read a PR statement from a group opposing the sale to China.
In our longer second segment, Andrew called back and we talked about economic issues in congress, SLS, Golden Spike, and building relationships with staffers in congress to better advocate for space. Tim called from Huntsville to tell us about the absurd PETA, Elon Musk and vegetarian issue arising about the food people will eat on Mars. You can read about it at these locations: http://rt.com/usa/news/space-mars-musk-people-595 and http://betabeat.com/2013/01/elon-musk-would-like-you-to-know-i-am-not-the-kale-eating-overlord-of-mars. Based on this story, we got several listener comments on PETA, Martian food, and space nutrition. In fact Doug called to say that he thought early Mars missions would likely be vegetarian just for mass and technical reasons. Our last caller was Perri who wanted to talk about the need to refurbish and bring back to life the excellent Colorado teaching planetarium, the Robert H. Johnson Planetarium in Jefferson County. Perri provided us with lots of good information on this planetarium and its refurbishment needs. She also talked about food consolidation problems in the U.S. and globally, plus a host of other matters, including the plutonium issue which was mentioned in the first segment. Here, she told us about the Rocky Flats Cold War Museum based on The Rocky Flats Nuclear Plant. The museum is also in Jefferson County, CO. For more information, visit www.rockyflatscoldwarmuseum.org. If you want to connect with Perri about the planetarium or any of the other issues she mentioned, you can email her through me.
You can also email all our callers through me at email@example.com. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog.

2012 Year End Review & Analysis for Space Development
Guest: Tom Olson. Topics: The year 2012 is reviewed from the space perspective and we look forward to space development in 2013. Please direct all comments and questions regarding Space Show programs/guest(s) to the Space Show blog, https://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments and questions should be relevant to the specific Space Show program. Written Transcripts of Space Show programs are a violation of our copyright and are not permitted without prior written consent, even if for your own use. We do not permit the commercial use of Space Show programs or any part thereof, nor do we permit editing, YouTube clips, or clips placed on other private channels & websites. Space Show programs can be quoted, but the quote must be cited or referenced using the proper citation format. Contact The Space Show for further information. We welcomed back Tom Olson for his annual Space Show year in review analysis with a look forward to 2013 for space development. We started our discussion by remembering those in our space community that are no longer with us. We specifically mentioned three dear friends though we know that others have also left us. Our program was dedicated to Neil Armstrong, Jesco von Puttkamer, and Reda Anderson. We certainly miss our friends but space development marches on like everything else in life. A few of the early issues Tom brought up in the 2012 annual overview of space included the Falcon 9 launches and Dragon missions. He also talked about ISDC and birthing of Dragon during the keynote by NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden. While on the subject of SpaceX and its mission to the ISS, Paul sent in a question asking if SpaceX dropping out of the Stratolauncher project indicated that perhaps they had "bitten off more than they could chew." Tom and I have no inside information about SpaceX and Stratolaunch but we both thought that Paul's comment was reasonable as SpaceX is certainly busy enough with game changing projects & technology. Cubesats were discussed given their rise in popularity and importance in 2012. It seems as if their potential is more than on the rise! Cubesat growth also cuts across many diverse space industry segments and niche markets. Bev asked about the future of 3-D printing and its potential impact on future human spaceflight (HSF). 3-D printing is certainly experiencing space industry growth & there will soon be a small 3-D printer on the ISS. Heavy lift came up and much was said about the Falcon Heavy and SLS, both looking back over 2012 & forward to 2013.
In our second segment, I asked if fuel depots would evolve from the Power Point & rhetoric stage to something more tangible in 2013. We talked about depots as many of the projects announced in 2012 use depot technology to enable their plan. Tom talked about warp drive becoming more possible due to the 2012 work of Dr. Sonny White. Dr. White will be a guest on The Space Show Friday, January 4, 2013. Tom next brought up NASA budget issues & possible cuts. He talked about science mission cuts, the JWST, and on the HSF side, SLS eating up much of the budget with commercial crew still needing funding. I asked Tom how he thought space advocacy made out during 2012. Mixed was a one word summary of this discussion. Next, we talked about space settlement being made part of the U.S. space policy in 2013. Tom went over the pros & cons surrounding this effort. Doug called in about space settlement & I referred him to earlier programs with Steve Wolfe who authored the Space Settlement Act of 1988 which is part of public law. Tom said space settlement was SLS dependent & that makes the potential policy controversial to many space enthusiasts since many oppose SLS. Tom said 2012 was a good year for new commercial space grandiose missions such as Golden Spike, Planetary Resources, Mars One, a lunar base, Shackleton Energy, even EML2 missions. He kept asking the questions regarding objectives, who pays, the reasons for the missions, and more. He said most of these missions rely on some form of large launcher, either the Falcon Heavy SLS. Tom talked about ITAR reform that has been signed by both houses of Congress & is applicable to the U.S. satellite industry. Human rating of the Atlas came up for a 2012 progress report, then Dave in San Antonio inquired about cyber warfare & the space industry in 2012 & the future. 2012 marked the year the space shuttles went on display in museums & Tom talked about the Russian space program investments for modernization over the coming decade. He also talked about other national space programs. Near the end of our program, we brought up the Spaceport America liability issue & the risks facing the New Mexico spaceport. Tom updated us for 2013 on the NewSpace Business Plan Competition & his work with the Exodus Group for space business consulting.

About this book
Perturbative Algebraic Quantum Field Theory (pAQFT), the subject of this book, is a complete and mathematically rigorous treatment of perturbative quantum field theory (pQFT) that doesn't require the use of divergent quantities. We discuss in detail the examples of scalar fields and gauge theories and generalize them to QFT on curved spacetimes.
pQFT models describe a wide range of physical phenomena and have remarkable agreement with experimental results. Despite this success, the theory suffers from many conceptual problems. pAQFT is a good candidate to solve many, if not all of these conceptual problems.
Chapters 1-3 provide some background in mathematics and physics. Chapter 4 concerns classical theory of the scalar field, which is subsequently quantized in chapters 5 and 6. Chapter 7 covers gauge theory and chapter 8 discusses QFT on curved spacetimes and effective quantum gravity.
The book aims to be accessible researchers and graduate students interested in the mathematical foundations of pQFT are the intended audience.

text: My wife and I are sitting on the bed, transfixed by the TV images of Obama and the others during the swearing in. I'm getting emotional, particularly when we see random shots of everyday people in the vast audience with tears streaming. Our two housecleaners arrive. They only speak a little English, but we ask if they listened to the inauguration on the radio as they drove to our house. They both enthusiastically say, "Oh yes!" "It's a great day," we say, and these two young Mexican women wholeheartedly agree.


text: Share: Comments Print July 4, 2011 at 5:00 PM Storm center Ewelina Kobryn blends with new team Posted by Jayda Evans Storm C Ewelina Kobryn only logged 30 seconds of playing time in a loss to Connecticut, but she's blending well with her new team. The Polish transport officially signed June 30 to add depth in the post while three-time MVP Lauren Jackson rehabilitates from left-hip surgery. Kobryn, who's fluent in English, played against Storm G Tanisha Wright in Poland in 2009 and with former Storm C Janell Burse in the past. Kobryn suited up with New York during exhibition play this season, but was cut to enable her to join her national team in pursuit of an Olympic bid. Kobryn averaged 14.7 points and 7.7 rebounds in six EuroBasket games in June. Since the Storm hasn't practiced, watching film and doing a walk-through on Monday, Kobryn isn't acclimated to the system. She's learned play calls and schemes on the bus, in hotels, and as the team has chatted in restaurants at airports. "She's getting comfortable with the terms we use and at some point it's just going to be a matter of throwing her to the wolves and she's just going to have to play," Storm PG Sue Bird said. "That will happen sooner than later. Practices will help her but it's a road trip, so we don't practice that much. "A lot of our time has been spent in the airport and on the bus. And she's fit right in, really. You would have thought she was on the team from the beginning just how she interacts and how she's hanging out." The Fourth of July holiday helps with its light atmosphere and fun activities. Indiana F Shyra Ely is an Indianapolis native and former Storm reserve. She's connecting with her former teammates to offer a slice of home for the day, according to Storm coach Brian Agler. Tuesday they'll be enemies as the Fever (7-3) host the Storm (5-3) at Conseco Fieldhouse. The game will be aired free on WNBA LiveAccess. Comments

(WSVN) - WSVN — It's the perfect breakfast or brunch treat, from a hot new South Beach brasserie. That's what's on the menu, as we grab a Bite with Belkys.
The Chef: Bernard Matz
The Restaurant: Bakehouse Brasserie
The Dish: Bananas Foster Croissant French Toast
4 croissants
For Batter:
2 qts. liquid egg
1/4 cup cinnamon
1 tbs. nutmeg
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup brown sugar
Bananas Foster:
2 qts. bananas sliced 1/4 inch thick rounds
1 cup spicy dark rum
2 cups brown sugar
2 tbs. unsalted butter
Cream Cheese Frosting:
8 oz. cream cheese
2 cups powdered sugar
3 cups whole milk
Method of Preparation:
– Start with the icing. In a food processor, add cream cheese, whole milk, powdered sugar and blend about a minute. When it's done, take it out and set it aside in the fridge.
– The batter is next. Add together a mixture of brown sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon with heavy cream. Mix well. Add beaten eggs and mix again. Set aside.
– For the Bananas Foster, chop some very ripe bananas into 1/4 inch rounds. Put unsalted butter in a hot pan and add brown sugar. Let it melt and caramelize. Bring it to a boil and reduce, moving it constantly so it doesn't burn. Add spicy rum — watch out for the flame! Take it off the burner until the alcohol burns out.
– Add the bananas and cook for about a minute. Turn off the flame and let it sit. While it's cooling, half your croissants and soak them in the batter. Put them on the grill and get them nice and toasty on both sides — just a couple of minutes.
To Plate:
– Chef Bernard spoons the Bananas Foster on the croissants and puts them together sandwich style. He drizzles the cream cheese icing on top, garnishes with strawberries and finishes with powdered sugar.
Serving Suggestion: Berry Ciroc Mimosa
Serves: 2

Primera's full range of Label Production Solutions at the 35th London Wine Fair
Easily highlight products with individual and professional looking label
WIESBADEN, Germany (April 28, 2015) – Individual product packaging and labelling is getting more and more important. Unfortunately small and mid-sized wineries and wine importers don't have the financial resources or the fitting equipment to implement multinational, personalized and seasonal packaging campaigns. They either have to go for standard labels, which apparently do not have a special eye-catching look to separate them from the big brands, or they design and print their own labels. For those applications Primera Technology Europe, leading manufacturer of label printing equipment, presents its inkjet-based LX-Series colour label printers at London Wine Fair, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary.
Primera will show short to medium-run solutions using inkjet technology, such as the LX900e Color Label Printer. Its print resolution of 4800 dpi guarantees a printout in photorealistic quality and enables users to add vibrant pictures of their products next to small texts such as ingredients or barcodes and still every detail of that label is razor-sharp. Labels can be printed whenever they are needed and in the required quantity. Separate ink cartridges for each colour keep operating costs low. Short runs are printed fast and efficiently, helping to increase the production of your products.
Besides its existing range of dry-toner and inkjet-based label printers Primera Technology Europe will also show its new LX2000e Color Label Printer, an industrial-grade desktop printer.
LX2000e features large ink tanks for lower cost per label, fast print speeds and pigment ink for better water and UV resistance. Other highlights include built-in wired/Ethernet or wireless connection options, "pizza wheel" cutter, front colour LCD control panel and viewing window for label stock levels.
An extensive range of label materials offers a great choice of label surfaces, which can be used to attract different customers. For example Primera's Vintage Paper Material is perfect for wine bottles transporting the idea of a rare and good bottle of wine.
For wine labels that should convey luxury and elegance Primera offers the FX400e Foil Printer that adds metallic gold, silver or colour foil to inkjet- or laser-printed labels.
Primera's label product range is completed by the AP-Series Label Applicators. The AP362e Label Applicator for applying front and back labels to round containers and the AP550e Flat-Surface Label Applicator for square sided bottles, boxes, pouches and bags apply labels faster, more accurately and wrinkle-free in exactly the location desired. This gives finished products a highly professional look and significantly increases the number of containers that can be labeled per hour versus manually applying labels.
On their stand # J48, Primera employees will happily inform winegrower and importers about its label printing equipment, the wide range of label materials and their different usability.

I have been employed by CarolinaEast Medical Center for five years and have always been very proud of the high quality of care we deliver to our community. Until recently, my experience has been exclusively that of a caregiver; however, the onset of serious medical issues has recently changed my role from deliverer to recipient of services, all of it received in CarolinaEast clinics and facilities. Health care professionals don�t always make the best patients. We know just enough about our potential diagnoses to provoke high anxiety, and this is especially true when the disease faced is not in our own specialty area. My condition has produced symptoms that have been (and still are) very scary. The excellent care I have received at CarolinaEast Internal Medicine campuses in Havelock and Pollocksville keeps me grounded, informed, and comforted.
Rosemary Curry, ANP in the Havelock clinic has been managing and coordinating my care. Dr. Kristina Rowe is the primary care physician with whom she is paired. Assisting Ms. Curry are her assistant, Angela and scheduler, Petra; and these angels make sure that I completely understand instructions before leaving the clinic. It is especially important for me to understand where various referrals, diagnostic procedures and therapies are scheduled because my symptoms often make it difficult for me to comprehend and remember complicated instructions. God bless them for their incredible patience! I have also started seeing Dr. Champey, neurologist at the Pollacksville campus. He and his staff are also terrific at explaining when and where I need to go for the next round of appointments.
As a health care practitioner with 40-plus years of experience in hospitals and clinics across the country, I know how rare it is to find the wide range of multispecialty services CarolinaEast Health System offers within such a close proximity of New Bern. The complexity of my current problem has necessitated some very sophisticated tests and procedures, yet I have not had to leave the CEHS system for any of it. I wonder if members of our community are generally aware of how exceptional it is to be examined, referred, diagnosed and treated here, all without driving to Greenville or Durham. In addition to being spared the hours of driving to and from a remote city, we can keep our health care dollars right here in our own community rather than seeing them invested in facilities and institutions elsewhere in the state.

Talk to me! PLEASE talk to me!
I'm a new ham and I have a new radio!
We have a LOT of new hams on the air now and more coming! This is mostly due to the valiant efforts of ham instructors like John Nordland, AD5FU and others. When you hear one of those new KG5 call signs coming from…often a shy or shaky voice, TALK TO THEM! These are the new kids on the block and they are looking for a QSO from another friendly ham. There was a time when each of us had just received our license and bought our first radio. We were just like these new kids. Did we know what to do…or what to say when we keyed the mic? Not always. Those of us who are old (some very old) and experienced hams have a duty and a responsibility to welcome new hams into the hobby and offer to help in any way we can. Be friendly, kind and helpful–but most of all, TALK TO THEM!
Also, (1) tell new hams about our CAUHF Group and encourage them to check in to the AR Links, Tuesday night net at 8:00 p.m. (2) tell them about our CAUHF Group club meetings, held the first Monday night of each quarter. The next one is Monday night, April 4th, 2016. (3) tell them about our CAUHF website. (4) Tell them about the list of AR Links repeaters located on the AR Links tab of this website.

5 Festivals I'd like to experience in 201808:30
Ah, festivals. A chance to get away from the routine of everyday, to only worry about whether you're going to get to a stage to see an act in time. To paint yourself in glitter and drink as soon as the sun comes up. A chance to see and experience the day start and end, sunrise to sunset, rain or sun. Surrounded by happy revellers up for a conversation with whoever happens to walk by. We live in quite an individualised world, and festivals for me are a chance to really experience that community spirit, where everyone's got something in common and no one holds back on having fun.
My festival escapades are sadly over for this year, I had a great time at Download Festival in June, and I'm already starting to put money aside for next years festival ventures. I want to go to as many as financially possible, and get my money's worth for my Grand Canyon tent. There's just so many festivals around the UK just waiting to be experienced and in this post, I've put together a list of 5 UK festivals I'd love to go to.
2000 Trees
Held annually in Chelmsford, Gloucestershire with a small capacity of just 5000, this festival is not only well-decorated, it's also my sort of music. With Slaves and Lower Than Atlantis headlining this year, you can imagine the intimacy and up-close nature of the performances. With a stage set in and amongst the trees, and a friendly, upbeat atmosphere it gives of the impression of what Slam Dunk would be like if it were held in one place over the weekend.
Boomtown is set in a dystopian town, nearby to Winchester in Hampshire, with different themed districts from China Town to the Wild West. There's such a focus on atmosphere and decor that it would be like stepping into another world. Definitely a festival I want to experience at some point, with acts like Madness , Cypress Hill & The Specials having performed there, on one of many stages the festival has, it's truly seems like a one of a kind experience and a great chance to immerse myself in different genres of music I don't regularly listen to.
Reading & Leeds
Based in two sites, the line-up every year will pull you in in some way, whether it's the headliners, or acts dotted about the line-up - even on 'weaker' years, like this year in my opinion, they've always got good acts on offer and it has such an energy to it. What I especially like about R&L is the variety of acts on offer.
V Festival
Playing host to such big name acts, I can imagine there would be some truly horrific set time clashes, but it's one I wouldn't want to miss. Personally, I wouldn't want to pay some of the staggering fees to see 'A-list' artists, and V Festival would be a great opportunity to see many of them for a fraction of the price to see them in concert. I'd love to experience a pop festival and I'm hoping Kesha will go to one in the UK next year. I've also seen that BBC are playing to do multiple events next year in place of Glastonbury, so I'll have to keep my eye out for that too.
Godiva Festival
Coventry has it's own festival held within the city, and its free. Yes, completely free. Advertised as family friendly, the festival has no camping area, but with a Premier Inn nearby it'd be well worth it. Acts that performed this year include Example, Pulled Apart By Horses and Mallory Knox amongst many more across three days in Coventry's Memorial Park. Oh, and last year, when I couldn't afford to go to a festival - wait for this…just wait - IT TURNS OUT NECK DEEP WERE THERE AND OH MY GOD IT WAS FREE AND THEY DID LIKE A TWO HOUR SET AND AAAAAH. This is a festival I'm definitely keeping my eye on next year, and if there's acts that I want to see, I am booking that Premier Inn room and wingdinging myself straight to Coventry.
So, those are the festivals I'm keeping my eye out for next year, I'm interested to know though, what festivals have you been to? What were they like? Or what festivals are you considering?

I approve of your taste in music! LTA and Mallory Knox are amazing. I've never stayed overnight at a festival though, not sure I'd cope!ReplyDelete
I love the idea of 2000 Trees, I've never been but it's sounds right up my street! I bloody love Mallory Knox too, such a great band. I'll probably go to Slam Dunk next year and maybe do a day or two at Leeds Fest - I can't hack camping so I need to pick wisely!ReplyDelete

Director and writer Terry Gilliam is a rare thing in today's film world: An artist with a vision; even though he cringes at that word. But Gilliam is also an artist who knows setbacks, and the events surrounding his latest film, "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," had been some of the most difficult of his career.
About halfway into shooting, Gilliam's lead star and good friend, Heath Ledger, was found dead in his New York City apartment. Dealing with the personal grief of losing a friend, Gilliam also had to make some hard decisions about his film. But help came in the form of three actors: Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell, who all agreed to take over Ledger's role.
"The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," is a fantastical morality tale set in the present, and also stars Christopher Plummer as the title character, and musician Tom Waits as the devil.
"I just decided to try to do something original for once in my life," said Gilliam. "I hadn't actually written a completely original script since "Brazil," so let's start with a blank page. I didn't have a story in mind, I didn't have anything in mind, just an ego that was trying to scream out to the world, 'I'm still talented!'
"I suppose very quickly, the very first shot of the film came to mind: This idea of this strange traveling theater, horse-drawn, making its way through modern London. And from there, the next stage was let the theater open up, and have something extraordinary, wonderful, magical inside -- and nobody paying any attention to it -- that's really where we took off from."
The film asks the audience to give up some of the structure they're used to and be fearless, says Gilliam, and "follow it like children."
"I find adults get very frightened in a lot of my films. Even going back to "Time Bandits" -- at the time the kids just went a long for the ride, had a wonderful time. Adults were just like, 'wait, where are we going next? We're in the 19th century; no we're in the 18th century; that's ancient Greece, oh my god, slow down.' And I thought: Come on, relax."
In "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," Doctor Parnassus and his troop has a different challenge for the audience: To make a choice. "If you're going to go into an 'Imaginarium' where your imagination can go anywhere it wants, and all your dreams can come true, at some point you're going to make a choice," said Gilliam.
Gilliam didn't have Heath Ledger in mind when casting for the role of Tony in the film. Ledger was working in London and happened to be in attendance when Gilliam was showing his storyboards for the film.
"Heath was sitting there and halfway through, he slipped me this little piece of paper that said, 'can I play Tony?' And I said, are you serious? And he says, 'yep, I really want to see this movie.' And here's where the God of Irony enters the scene, because Heath of course is the one person who won't get to see the movie."
With news of Ledger's tragic death, Gilliam struggled with whether or not to shut down the film. He called Johnny Depp to commiserate about pulling the plug. Depp offered to help however he could and for Gilliam, this was the turning point.
"Especially for the money people, because they were in fast retreat," said Gilliam. "Because they knew there was no way to finish the movie. And somebody told them I had spoken to Johnny and that apparently stopped the retreat. It gave me time to get my head around the possibility that there was a way of salvaging the film."
After that, Jude Law and Colin Farrell joined the roster to play the part of Tony. Fortunately, a device in the script allowed this to work: A magical mirror in the 'Imaginarium' that changed the appearance of Tony whenever he went through it.
At the beginning of the film, Johnny Depp as Tony says the line: "Nothing is permanent, not even death." Gilliam says the line was written in advance of Ledger's death.
"A lot of people when they see the film, they think it was written as a eulogy to Heath dying young, and living forever beautiful and perfect; but it wasn't. It was written in advance. Because the film is very much about mortality and then to have Heath's death was just terrifying. It actually makes me careful about what one writes about. There's a lot of things said in the film that are quite beautiful, and I don't know if I believe any of them."
"The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" is scheduled for nationwide release January 8, 2010.
