Reading the Tea Leaves: iPad Fall 2011 Edition
In my circle of friends and family, I am known as having, shall we say: "an above average" level of knowledge when it comes to all things Apple. So it came as little surprise to me when a very good friend of mine dropped me an e-mail which simply said: "What do we expect for an iPad announcement in Sept?"
Until very recently, my knee-jerk, gut, base-level instinct told me "nothing". One of the reasons Apple has been so successful is they have been very conservative when it comes to their product line. As many of my Apple-hating friends have told me over the years, other vendors offer tons more models with tons more configuration options, featuring gidgets, widgets, doo-dads, and other assorted odds-and-ends that, for the average consumer, do little other then fill out a spec sheet. This compares to Apples very limited selection of products, keeping the SKU list short, simple, and easy to understand.
These same friends also like to tell me how their favorite hardware vendor of choice are in a near perpetual state of releasing something. This compares to Apple's long product lives and somewhat predictable refresh cycles. I believe this is better for the consumer in the long run, and produces more predictable targets for developers.
This has been especially true for Apple's non-computer product lines. The iPod line has been refreshed in the fall nearly every year since its introduction, with very few updates to the line outside that time period. The iPhone, until this year, was refreshed every summer, and the iPad saw its first refresh around its one year anniversary.
There was no reason to expect anything different. And then out of the blue John Gruber, well-known Apple pundit behind the highly respected Daring Fireball website, stepped into the land of speculation and outlined a scenario which would have Apple release not one, but two iPads in 2011: one in the spring, and one in the fall. Since he has proven that he is well connected, this created a flurry of rumors, all of which could be traced back to Mr. Gruber's article. He has since stressed many times that this article was not based on any inside knowledge, and was a pure speculative piece. I don't recall if it was the same article, or one around that time period, where Mr. Gruber also speculated Apple may change the iPhone release to the fall, as the iPod (and the PMP market in general) was loosing its luster.
So the rumors, for the most part, died down for a while. One would pop up here or there, attributed to some mysterious so-and-so, but nothing I ever took seriously.
Then Apple did not announce an iPhone at their WWDC event. In fact, we're half-way through summer and there's no indication that an iPhone will be announced any time soon (though there are, of course, rumors to that effect). Since then, the iPad rumors have heated up.
But is there any truth to this newest batch of rumors? I've got no inside knowledge. Sure I follow a couple Apple employees on Twitter, but I don't know any of them. All I've got is what I've learned by following Apple news and rumors over the years, and my own analytical abilities (for whatever those are worth). So I ask myself a few questions.
Does Apple need a new iPad this fall? Even the most die-hard anti-Apple observer has to admit Apple basically owns the tablet market at this time. The iPad 2 was released several months ago, and has since been flying off the shelves faster then Apple can make them. The competition is floundering, trying desperately to build something consumers will buy, but seldom answering the question "why buy this instead of an iPad?" in a way that bakes sense to the average consumer. Consumers have shown with their hard-earned cash that they are not really that interested in little-used hardware features, flash, slightly lower price, and "openness". What's more, there's little I see on the horizon to change this.
Should Apple do a new iPad this fall? I do not think a refresh of the current product is in order, and most the rumors out there agree with me. In fact, the most common thread is we're going to see a new high-end model, an iPad Pro if you will, which will be basically the same model with slightly faster CPU, slightly more RAM, and a "Retina Display". Such a thing would have to be labeled "Pro", as a screen that size with 280+ DPI is going to cost a small fortune. Carefully targeting a different segment of the market like this is very Apple-like, and would put further pressure on its competitors. But is there a market for such a device? I don't see one, but I'm not a market analyst.
Is fall the right time to do this? That's a tough one. Apple is a master at keeping itself in the news, and the release of a new iPhone in August/September will go a long way towards that goal for the rest of the year, so I don't think they need a new iPad for that. The Android, WebOS, and RIM tablets are still trying to catch-up in mindshare for the bigger consumer market, I don't see any makers of those tablets aiming higher at this time. That leaves the wild-card of Windows tablets.
Microsoft has stressed that Windows 8 will be its desktop and tablet OS. In fact, they have said that they don't see those as necessarily different product categories, a stance which is about as different from Apple's as one can get. Such a strategy also puts Windows-based tablets into a higher market then the iPad is in. I believe the industry expects to see Windows 8 tablets early next year. An iPad Pro released in the fall could take some, or even all, of the wind out of Microsofts tablet efforts.
So I come back to the question: "What do we expect for an iPad announcement in Sept?" At this time, I'm going to stick with "nothing", mostly because I don't think Apple needs a new tablet going into the Christmas season. IF we do see an announcement, I would expect it to be this iPad (2) Pro, not an iPad 3, which would be an evolution of the product line featuring an A6 CPU. This would sit at a much higher price point, starting around at least $700 due to the cost of the screen.
It should be noted, however, that I've been wrong before. Once or twice.

First off, kudos to the Farm Fresh people for putting this event on, good speakers, variety and networking opps too. The local farm and food movement is certainly strong in Rhody and regionally as well. I had the opportunity to engage a few fellow participants and thought almost all of them were passionate about what they are doing, a refreshing change from my former corporate world.
My overriding concern is the focus on the "food deserts" and driving sales of fresh in those areas with SNAP, EBT, WIC, etc.. I'm not opposed to any of these programs or the need to improve the diet of these communities, the upside in health and reduction in associated costs would be a good thing; I am struggling with the lack of effort/funding to increase fresh local sustainable food to the rest of the population, the larger group that has the ability to choose because they have the income to do so.
If farms are to survive and expand,(more small sustainable farms, not large industrial ones) there needs to be a allocation of resources to make that happen. The Farmers market has to be a year round part of the shopping experience, an incentive to make it a habit rather than a novelty stop in the day. Farmers new and old have to make a fair income for what they produce, they should not earn at a level that would qualify them for SNAP.
The CSA business model is one way to drive farm income up without forcing industrialization. What other ideas are out there? The Public Market, can it stand alone or does it need to be quasi governmental? Local food in the schools, schools growing their own?
I put this out there to encourage discussion and exchange of ideas, let the thinking begin.

Parmesan Pesto Chicken
Simple and sensational parmesan pesto chicken served over fresh summer pasta salad. This pesto chicken pasta dish is sure to be your new go-to dish this season!
Less is More. The older I get, the more often I find I stand by this motto.
I don't want to have a closet full of clothes and shoes, just for the sake for having them. I'd rather have a few well-chosen items I can mix and match.
I don't want my house to be full of stuff, trying to keep up with the Jones'. We are experience driven people and would rather spend our money on memory making, instead of nesting.
And I certainly don't want to throw extra ingredients into a recipe, just for the sake of making it seem more chic or gourmet.
Good food does not always have to be complicated. Anyone that thinks otherwise is trying too hard, in my opinion.
Often the simple things in life provide the most satisfaction.
And that's exactly how I feel about today's pesto chicken. This recipe is comprised of three carefully selected ingredients: organic chicken breast, DeLallo Simply Pesto (Traditional Basil), and fresh shaved parmesan cheese.
That's it.
I could have tinkered with fancy ingredients, or even made my own pesto from scratch, but this is one of those cases where more, is not more. Less is more.
DeLallo Simply Pesto is truly the only jarred pesto I buy. It is fresh and fragrant, adding huge flavor and complexity to simple weeknight meals like this.
When I'm in a hurry, yet want to make something wonderful, I rub DeLallo's traditional basil pesto over chicken breasts, sprinkle the top with shaved parmesan cheese, and bake it. The basil pesto provides rich sweet and savory flavors to the juicy chicken, and the parmesan bakes into an effortless nutty crust.
While the pesto chicken is in the oven, I have time to make the gorgeous summery italian pasta salad I shared last week.
The combination of the fresh cool citrus, golden tomatoes, basil and pasta, with the hot crusty pesto chicken makes the most amazing pesto chicken pasta ever!
I love this dinner duo so much. And I think you will too.

Puer Raw in Mandarin fruit (2004) Puer Raw in Mandarin fruit (2004)

Raw Puer is the first state that all puer go through. The tea leaves are picked, sometimes quite young, then they are partially dried with sun or heat. Some moisture retains and keeps the enzymes active. Next, the leaves are rolled to soften them and help the fermentation process. When the leaves have fully dried, raw puer is put into an orange peel. Through out time the peel dries and the tea absorbs the smell and taste of the fruit. Raw puer tends to have a more grassy, "green," vegetal flavor similar to Japanese green teas.

I've got 2 pods left and then they are gone. I haven't reordered another box yet because the mortgage, comcast and verizon bills are due and as a freelancer, I'm waiting on checks, as usual. I think I've been in a bit of denial too, ignoring the fact that I would soon run out of my box of 10 pods, and that as a result, need to go back on syringes. My other choice is to pull out the credit card and charge what we don't have the actual money to pay for.
I am not a victim about this whole thing and am not feeling sorry for myself. I am simply stating the ugly truth. Diabetes is an expensive disease. In my 26 years of living with diabetes, (my parents and) I have spent over $30,000 on medical supplies, doctor visits and hospital bills. And that's WITH insurance. How is that fair? (I know, life isn't fair, but still.) I have three kids and in order for me to be in the best health, I need the best and unfortunately most expensive tools. Something needs to change.
Dear Omnipod, it's time to lower your costs. Period.

Corey and Pam made Omelettes for Breakfast which went down a real treat - the secret is Turmeric - sssshhhhh.
We spent the next couple of hours in the pool debating whether or not it was worth the trek out to the Ford Museum to see such famed items as the chair in which Lincoln was shot, Rosa Parks' bus* and Thomas Edison's last breath*. The pool and thirty-something degree weather won - big surprise.
After a couple of drinks at the Golf Club we were taken to see 'The Ides of March" at the new local cinema; a moving theatre how God intended it to be - with unlimited drink from a touch screen soda fountain with some x** flavours of coke products, and all you can eat* popcorn with an array of self-serve flavourings and toppings and a hot butter tap. Needless to say, the film took a back seat to the lavish excess of sugary/salty/cheesy/buttery popcorn.
* "All you can eat" - again, not just all you can eat here.

|Henry Whyte was born in Easdale in Argyll in 1852, but moved to Glasgow when he was young. He wrote under the name of 'Fionn', composing songs, stories, and essays. He came from a family of writers: his father, John Whyte, wrote for The Gael; his uncle, Robert Whyte, published a poem, An t-Earrach, in An Teachdaire Gàidhealach; and his brother, also named John Whyte, wrote under the pen-names 'I.B.O.' and 'Mac Mharcuis'. A number of John's stories appear in this volume.
In the 1880s and 1890s, Henry Whyte published The Celtic Lyre, a four-part collection of over fifty Gaelic songs with music and translations into English. According to his obituarist, 'M. M.', these 'gave an impetus to the popular study of Gaelic Music' (1913-14, 332). He also published an article in The People's Friend on 'Gaelic Songs of Love and Labour'. Whyte himself wrote a number of Gaelic songs, some of which became very popular in their day, such as Ochoin a Righ si mo ribhinn donn and Dhealaich mise nochd ri m' leannan. He also wrote essays on folklore, history, and Gaelic poetry and song, and had articles published in numerous newspapers and magazines.
In 1881, Whyte published The Celtic Garland, a collection of Gaelic stories and songs, including translations from other languages. Whyte was extremely adept at translation from Gaelic to English, and he translated a number of Gaelic songs. He was also adept at translating from English to Gaelic, and it was he who translated the Crofters Act into Gaelic. His brother, John was also adept at translation, and made Gaelic versions of many of the hymns in Thomas Kelly's Collection of Psalms and Hymns.
Henry Whyte was very interested in politics in his early years, and was sympathetic to the 'national aspirations of the Irish' ('M. M.', 1913-14, 334). In later years, he undertook only journalistic work, as Glasgow correspondent of the Oban Times, and writing weekly articles for other newspapers. He was also President of the Gaelic Society of Glasgow and an active member of various territorially based Highland Associations in Glasgow. Whyte had an 'excellent command of expressive and idiomatic Gaelic' ('M. M.', 1913-14, 334), and his stories, particularly his later ones, were often full of humour. Both Henry and his brother were awarded civil list pensions for their services to Gaelic literature. They both died in 1913.
In the introduction to this volume, Whyte states that he had told the people that if they bought enough copies of The Celtic Garland, he would publish another collection of stories and poetry. The Celtic Garland went through two editions and this led him to begin collecting texts for this volume. The English title page of this volume reads 'Gaelic Readings in Prose and Verse. Suitable for Public Entertainments'.
|This volume begins with An Roimh-Radh by the author (pp. vii-viii). This is followed by An Clar-Innsidh (pp. ix-xi), which is presented in two sections: 'Sgeulachdan' and 'Bardachd'.
This volume contains 39 stories and 16 poems in Gaelic. These include various different types of stories. Most of them are humorous, to varying degrees. Some involve the narrator, while others are about 'someone in the village' or someone the narrator has simply 'heard of'. There are a few more serious stories, however, including Long Mhor nan Eilthireach (pp. 165-75) by Rev. Dr. Norman MacLeod. A selection of the stories is given below.
Domhnull Ruadh Sgalag (pp. 1-3) by Fionn (Henry Whyte): in which a hired-hand, Domhnull, who had always been very happy with his employer, suddenly decides to find work elsewhere. When asked why, he explains that various animals belonging to his employer have died in succession, have been salted and eaten, and when the last one was almost finished his employer's grandmother died. Domhnull is then asked to pick up some more salt when he goes to town (do 'n chlachan, p. 3). Thinking he would be given the mother to eat next, he goes straight to the fair to find another employer.
Ruairidh Mor air Taghadh Luchd-Parlamaid (pp. 21-24) by Iain MacCormaig: a very comic sketch, in which Ruairidh discusses the fact that crofters are now able to vote, and talks us through his first ever voting day. Ruairidh goes to the polling station, picks up his card, and goes behind the curtain, but cannot make up his mind on such an important decision. A succession of people, including the Siorram, come in to try and get him to hurry up, but to little avail, as Ruairidh is now convinced that he is just as important as the next man and must be given time to make his choice. In the end, he ticks two boxes, unable to decide between two of the candidates. In the end, the Siorram puts the ballot paper in his pocket, rather than in the box.
Drobhaireachd Dhomhnuill-nam-Pratan (pp. 59-65) by Aonghas Mac Eanraig (first published in Mac-Talla): in which Domhnull-nam-pratan decides to sell a very old cow at the market, and is determined to get such a good price for her that he can afford to buy a young cow with the money. To this end, he alters the cow's appearance by various means, to make her appear younger than she is. He manages to sell her as a young cow to a man who did not know much about cows. He then manages to buy a young cow and her calf from the minister, because the boy that was selling them did not know much about cows and Domhnull managed to convince him that as one of the cows had no upper teeth, there was something wrong with her.
An Taillear agus na Buidsichean (pp. 82-87) by Mac-Mharcuis (John Whyte): in which the tailor and his young assistant are called to do some work for someone who lived in a place that was renowned for being haunted. While this does not bother the tailor, his assistant is terrified and so the tailor, who was well known for making fun of his assistant, tells the manager of the inn they are staying in to hide under their bed and to move the bed up and down a few times once they had almost fallen asleep. The assistant jumps out of bed thinking it was witches' work, but finally gets the joke.
Comhradh, Am Maighstir-Sgoil agus Calum Posta (pp. 111-21) by Rev. Norman MacLeod (Caraid nan Gaidheal): in which Calum and the schoolmaster meet on the street and talk about the cost of postage going up. Calum complains at the amount of English now being used in addresses, to the extent that he sometimes doesn't know who the letters are addressed to, when the Gaelic place-names have been translated into English and the recipients' names are given in English. They also encounter Eachann, who collects a letter from his brother, which the schoolmaster reads for him.
An Sionnach (pp. 148-49) by Glasrach (author unknown, possibly John Whyte?): a short story in which a sly fox tries to convince various animals in the forest that he is their friend, in order to tempt them to come close enough for him to catch and eat them.
Long Mhor nan Eilthireach (pp. 165-75) by Rev. Dr. Norman MacLeod (Caraid nan Gaidheal): in which the author is travelling home by boat after a trip to Iona. When they get near to Mull, they see a large ship there. It turns out to be an emigrant ship, containing Gaels from all over the Highlands who are about to emigrate. He goes on board the ship, and overhears a number of interactions between those that were leaving and those that were staying behind. In the first instance, he sees a blind old man bemoaning that fact that the rest of his family are leaving him to go abroad, while his family try to console him. In the second instance, he sees a group of people overjoyed when they see their minister come on board. He spends some time lifting their spirits, telling them that God is with them and that they should sing His praises and worship wherever they can when they reach their destination.
Iain Ban agus Bord na Sgoile (pp. 197-201) by Aonghas MacEanruig: the story of Iain Ban, a bachelor of about 40, who has been on the School Board for years. He finds out that this year a number of new people want to join the Board, and he worries about losing his place. He decides to go round all the houses in the village to drum up support for himself. This goes very well, until he comes to the last house, that of Seonaid ni 'n Dòmhnuill. Iain and Seonaid used to be very good friends and Iain had always hoped to marry her, until they had a falling out about twenty years ago. The meeting begins well with some general talk about the village. However, when Iain begins to talk about the reason for his visit, Seonaid assumes that he is finally going to ask her to marry him, and throws herself at him. Not wanting to disappoint her, Iain says nothing about the School Board, and eventually they get married.
Calum Bodhar 's an t-Uircean (pp. 215-19) by Fionn (Henry Whyte): this story is about Calum Bodhar, who some people claim not to be as deaf as he claims to be, suggesting rather that he has selective hearing. As it happens, B'e Calum a b'aon ghille-gnothaich eadar Baile-nan-leac agus an t-Oban Lathurnach (p. 215). Whenever Calum travels to Oban to go shopping, he fills up the sack on his back with various things for various people, but always refuses to tell anyone or show anyone what he has bought. One day, he goes to buy a piglet. He puts the piglet in his sack and as he gets onto the boat to go back, he leaves the sack on the pier. Quickly, someone switches the piglet for a large black cat, which Calum unsuspectingly takes home with him. When he arrives home he is furious to find the black cat, and has to travel back the next day to get his piglet.
Cailleach nan Cno agus Taillear nan Clar (pp. 229-33) le Niall MacLeoid: about an old woman, believed to be a witch, who loves eating nuts. As she is dying, she tells the people in the community that her bag of nuts must be buried with her. This being done, a young lad decides to dig them up one night rather than let them go to waste. He meets a known thief on the way and they decide to split the nuts and the sheep the thief is going to kill. A number of men from the village pass by and hear the cracking of nuts from the graveside and believe the witch has returned.
Am Buachaille-Laogh agus am Ministeir (pp. 238-39) by I. B. O. (John Whyte): a short story in which a shepherd boy who is always being taunted by the minister gets his own back by some witty responses to the minister in front of his gille (p. 239).
The 16 poems differ widely in theme and style, including romantic balladry, e.g. Nighean Thriath Uilinn translated by Fionn from Thomas Campbell's Lord Ullin's Daughter (pp. 3-5); hunting, e.g. Seacharan Seilg by Domhnull Mac Eacharn (p. 10-12); war, e.g. Blar Allt-A'-Bhonnaich by Iain Mac Phaidein (pp. 25-30); nature, e.g. An t-Earrach by R. Mac 'Ille-Bhain (pp. 65-67); sailing, e.g. Iul an Eileanaich by Rev. Dr. Iain Mac Leoid (pp. 73-75) and Am Maraiche 's a Leannan by Mairi Nic Ealair (pp. 193-96); and life and God, e.g. Tha M' Athair aig an Stiuir (pp. 181-82) and Laoidh na Beatha (pp. 234-35), both of which were translated from English. There is also one comic poem, Turas Dhomhnuill do Chaisteal na Ban-Righ by Iain Mac Phaidein (pp. 99-103). Six of the poems are translations. Where this is the case, the name of the translator and sometimes the name of the author is given, but not the original title..
|Many of the stories and poems in this volume were new, but a number had been published previously in periodicals. Those that have been published previously have the name of the journal in which they were first published at the end of the story or poem, but not the date or the volume in which they appeared. Whyte also notes in the Roimh-ràdh, that some of the stories were drawn from Lowland Scottish sources.
The stories contain a wide range of vocabulary and are an excellent source of 'expressive and idiomatic Gaelic'. Amongst much else, there are strong echoes of the language of traditional tales. A number of Gaelic proverbs and made-up proverbial sayings are scattered throughout the stories. For example, in Domhnull Ruadh Sgalag, we find Am fear a dh'ìtheas feòil a seanmhar, faodaidh e 'h-eanraich òl (p. 1), and in An Taillear agus na Buidsichean we find Ciad taillear gun bhi sunndach (p. 82) and An uair a bhios Murchadh 'n a thamh bidh e 'ruamhar (pp. 83-84). We also find ach faodaidh an cat amharc air an righ (p. 112) in Comhradh, and cho bodhar ri gobhar 's an fhoghar (p. 216) in Calum Bodhar 's an t-Uircean.
The stories contain a wide variety of idiomatic usages, turns of phrase and interesting words and forms. For example we find Cha d'rinn mi riamh talach air (p. 2), chuir an fheoil shaillte eadar-sinn (p. 2), an robh thu air do storradh leatha (p. 2), thug mi a chuilidh orm (p. 22), le da sgrioch de 'n pheann (p. 22), a turrachadal a stigh a sin (p. 23), Bha mòran ùp àp aig an dorus (p. 24), cha 'n fhaigh thu na bheir builionn g' ad chù oirr' uile gu léir (p. 59), 's e tachas a chinn, 's a dlùth-amharc air an làr (p. 61), le ròiseid (p. 61), Chinn e mar a chunnaic Nì-math iomchuidh (pp. 62-63), nach tu 'bh' air do bhreathas a dhol 'an caramh a leithid se de mhàrt òg breagha (p. 64), a' ghiutaireachd a rinn e (p. 65), a' toirt nan sìnteag 's nan surdag as thar an reidhlein (p. 83), fad fin-foineach an latha (p. 83), air amhuiltearachd a's a' h-uile gne fhearas-chuideachd (p. 84), Bha iomradh am fad 's am farsuingeachd feadh na duthcha gu 'n robh buidseachas air an tigh (p. 84), aite uaigealta, fàsail, air a chuairteachadh le boglaichean 's le criathraichean ris an deanadh cridhe nan doideagan 's nan glaistigean teòisinn (p. 85), freagarrach air son an ubagan 's an iopannan a chur an gniomh (p. 85), chaidh e air a mhàgan fo 'n leabaidh (p. 85), gu 'n robh e ann an geàrr chunnart, 's gu 'm feumadh e a bhogha 's a bhalg a chur air (p. 197), Dh'éirich i do sheotal na ciste (p. 199), guanagan (p. 216), an deannadh-nam-bonn (p. 218), a shluasaid (p. 230), oidhche dhe na h-oidhcheannan (p. 230), and Thuit gu 'n robh (p. 238). Phrases which evoke a story-telling milieu, such as ach is sgeul eile sin (p. 2), agus a' chur an sgeòil an giorrad (p. 64), and m' an abradh tu "Seachd," (p. 83) also occur throughout the texts.
Much of the information contained in the stories is interesting from the point of view of social and cultural history, e.g. when Domhnall goes to the faidhir (p. 1) in Domhnull Ruadh Sgalag he had sop 'n a bheul mar chomharradh gu'n robh toil aige dol air fasdadh le cuideigin (p. 1). Other words and phrases relating to rural life include air a' bharaille fheola (p. 1), deanamh deas a dhol an cheàrdaich a chur tarruing ann an crubh an eich dhuinn (p. 3), am mart cutach (p. 59), fhuair mi fhéin mar thochar i (p. 59), 's i 'n a gamhainn (p. 59), an crùisgean (p. 60), do'n bhàthigh (p. 60), mar a's sine mart gur 'h-ann a's mutha 'bhios de dh'eagan 'n a h-adhaircean (p. 60), beagan de dh'ùilleadh ròin (p. 60), deamhas (p. 61), le atharla òg (p. 63), ann an tilgeil a' chabair no na cloiche-neirt (p. 83), and a ghoid moilt (p. 230).
Some religious phraseology can be found in Long Mhor nan Eilthireach, e.g. cuiribh ur n-earbsa ann an Dia (p. 171) and Iarramaid beannachd Dhe; deanamaid urnaigh (p. 173); and words and phrases relating to parliament and the state can be found in Ruairidh Mor air Taghadh Luchd-Parlamaid, e.g. a' taghadh buill ùra a dhol do 'n Phàrlamaid (p. 21), luchd-fearainn mhòra (p. 21), gu 'n robh mi murrach air Fear-Pàrlamaid a thaghadh (p. 21), do 'n bhothan-thaghaidh mar a their iad ris (p. 22), an Siorram (p. 22), seirbheiseach paighte na Stàid (p. 22).
The texts also contain a considerable proportion of direct speech, both in reported conversations and in authorial exclamations addressed to the reader. Examples include A mhic an fhir nach abair mi (p. 3), ach a nis, a mhic chridhe (p. 21), Nach iongantach an gnothach (p. 22), Cuimhnich 'ille mhath (p. 23), Coma leat-sa sin (p. 59), Ubh, ùbh! (p. 59), 'ghaolaich (p. 60), a laochain (p. 64), O, dhuine gun chiall (p. 64), Ni-math g'ar teasraiginn (p. 86), Fhir mo chridhe (p. 116), mo chreach 's mo leireadh (p. 120), Mo thruaighe (p. 166-67), Dia 'chuideachadh leam! (p. 169), Dia 'bhi maille ruibh (p. 170), Ni Maith 'g ar dìon! (p. 217), Ho ló! (p. 230), C' àit an ainm an Aidh a' bheil thu dol (p. 230), gu'n robh am bàs oirre (p. 230), "Pù," arsa fear thall, 's fear a bhos (p. 232).
The text also contains a number of phrases that may have come from English. These include Cha bhiodh gin de na dròbhairean a' draghachadh rithe (p. 64), c' iamar air an t-saoghal (p. 65), a tha air a chubadh a suas ann an tigh (p. 83), Cha d' fhuair e os a chionn gus an latha 'n diugh (p. 85), eadhon ann an geal an la sholuis (p. 85), and bha e dà fhichead bliadhna dh'aois m' a bha e latha (p. 197).
As noted above, the 16 poems cover a wide variety of subjects, including balladry, hunting, war, nature, sailing, and life and God.
Vocabulary of note from the poems includes, inter alia, hunting terms in Seacharan Seilg, e.g. 'Dà shùil lasrach an clàr aodainn, \ Nach robh 'choimeas farasd fhaotainn; \ Sròn cho fada ris an taobhan, \ 'S paidhir adhaircean air a cheann: \ Dh' éirich mi gu grad air m' uilinn, \ 'S thug mi ionnsuigh air a' ghunna, \ Ach cha d' thug e suim no umhail, \ Mar gu 'm b' iomhaigh umha bh' ann.' (p. 11); and sailing terms, e.g. in Am Maraiche 's a Leannan: 'I 'g éirigh éutrom air an t-snàmh, \ Mar eala bhàin 's a' chaol; \ Gach sgòd aice a mach gu 'cheann, \ 'S gach seòl a' tarrainn gaoith'; \ I 'falbh le cuinnein fiadhta \ Thair tuinn a b' fhiadhaich gaoir, \ Mar steud-each cruidheach, uaibhreach, \ A thug mu 'chluas an taod.' (p. 194-95).
Also of interest is the following nature description from Beannachd Dheireannach an Eilthirich by Eobhan Mac Colla (pp. 33-37), in which the author describes the country being left behind: ''Thìr steallaireach, alltach, \ Ard-choillteach, thiugh-spréigheach— \ 'Thìr àirdheach, fhraoch-shliosach, \ Ghorm-lochach, àrd; \ 'Thìr bhreacanach, cheòlraideach, \ Oranach, aoidheach, \ Bu tu tìr nan sgeul— \ Dachaidh ghreadhnach nam Bàrd!' (p. 35).
|The orthography of the texts has not been standardised and we therefore find different systems in use in the volume. While the principles vary between texts, the systems are all typical of the late nineteenth century. Of interest, perhaps, is the spelling of ciod é as 'd é (as opposed to the standard reduction to dé), which occurs in a number of texts (e.g. pp. 60, 115).

Nearly seven years after the disclosure of President
The lawsuit the Justice Department is trying so hard to block concerns the 2008 statute amending the
The measure gave the government broad and unprecedented power to intercept the communications of Americans without individualized warrants based on probable cause or any administrative finding of a terrorism connection. It lowered the burden of proof for government wiretapping of suspects, weakened judicial supervision, and failed to set adequate limits on retention and dissemination of acquired information. The statute discarded traditional constitutional protections for the privacy of innocent people, and chilled the exercise of the core democratic rights of free speech and association.
It would not require a legal stretch for the court to find that the plaintiffs had standing to sue. The plaintiffs are lawyers and human rights, labor, legal and media organizations engaged in work that requires them to be in communication with colleagues, clients, journalistic sources, victims of human rights abuses and others outside the
They have taken expensive and burdensome steps to avoid the risk of government eavesdropping, demonstrating tangible injury. For lawyers, an ethical obligation to safeguard client confidences requires such protective actions. Under existing Supreme Court doctrine, plaintiffs who have been harmed by government conduct are allowed to bring suit, even if, as here, they may not be direct targets. As the Supreme Court recognized in an important 1972 case, the invoking of national security to justify warrantless surveillance only heightens the need for searching judicial review.Continue reading the main story
Technically, the only question before the court is the fairly narrow-sounding issue of standing that it has agreed to hear. But should the court acquiesce to the government's cramped reading of standing, the larger implications should be clear to everyone. As a practical matter, it would foreclose any meaningful judicial review of the warrantless wiretapping statute, perhaps permanently. The damage to the nation's system of checks and balances, which relies on independent court scrutiny of laws as a safeguard against legislative and executive branch overreaching that disrespects constitutional rights, would be serious.Continue reading the main story

Welcome to the ARCHIVED Poasters Computer Forums (Read Only)
After a lot of messing about I finally RMA'd the RAM to G-Skill in the Netherlands. There was nothing wrong with it - it just wouldn't work with my motherboard. Since one of their technicians had posted on a forum that it would work, and the fact that it would not even post without 2.2v through it (it was rated at 1.9-2.0v) I deemed that it was worth a return. To be fair to G-Skill, they have replaced the PC6400-NR memeory with PC6400-NQ. This has the same timings but is rated at a lower voltage. I have installed it and it posted first time. There have been no problems with it at all and so I am now a very happy camper.I have even tried a mild overclock and am now running my 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo at 2.4GHz. I'm only on air cooling so don't want to push it too far until I have optimised the cooling etc.Buff; Happy....camping.

Sunday, July 10 is being observed across the country as Pray Together Sunday sponsored by the National Association of Evangelicals, of which your pastor is a member. NAE is asking churches of various denominations across America to pray for a "reset" and in the belief that Jesus changes everything. As stated on the NAE website, "He (Jesus) offers us a reset - restoring us to our original design - and he can reset this generation."
Pray Together Sunday will also kick off the week leading us to "Together 2016," a national campaign to bring one million people to the National Mall for a day of worship and prayer on Saturday, July 16. Visit Reset2016.com to learn more about supporting or attending Together 2016.
Saloma Baptist Church will join with numerous other congregations across American on Sunday, July 10 to pray for Together 2016 and to pray that God to work in and through our nation. We are challenged to pray with other churches on Sunday, July 10. As stated in materials for Pray Together Sunday, "What is one million people in different churches of different denominations across the country joined together one Sunday in prayer? What is we all asked Jesus to change our hearts and our nation? Will we ask Jesus to reset our nation?"
We are encouraged to pray for the plans and preparations for the July 16 Together 2016 gathering in Washington on the National Mall - for those who will be speaking, for those who will lead in worship, and for all who will be praying on that day in our nation's capital. We are encouraged to pray that "Jesus will be the only agenda."
The goal is for a "reset" at all levels - a reset in our personal relationship and walk with Jesus Christ, a reset for the local church and the ministry that we are called to do in our community and world, a reset for the larger Body of Christ to work together in unity of purpose and spirit and to bring Jesus to bear upon our world, and a reset for our nation in these very challenging and uncertain times.
We are praying for a reset of our nation to Jesus. And we are asking God for another Great Awakening in the United States and in our world because, "Jesus changes everything."
Join us in prayer for a reset!

Seize the birthday with no toppings
For the next two weeks at Seize the birthday we invite you to link any newly created birthday card as it is a no topping week!
Since Summer is all around us, I decided on a sun/Summer themed birthday card.
My card was made by cutting a stencil with my Silhouette, and painting with water color paint in yellow, with just a touch of orange. I used only a very small amount of water . If you use too much water it might run beneath the stencil and you won't get a neat look.
I added my sentiment after the paint has dried completely.
Here's the sentiment for those who might be interested ;)
I am linking my card to the challenge at Less is more where the theme is " HELLO SUNSHINE " and the STENCIL IT challenge at Simon says stamp
Thanks for looking... hope to see your card in the gallery this fortnight!

COSHH Regulation 9
"Every employer who provides any LEV to meet regulation 7 shall ensure that, it is maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order, in good repair and in a clean condition - Regulation 9.1 COSHH"
Where engineered controls have been used the employer must ensure that they are tested and thoroughly examined with a suitable record kept for minimum of 5 years. Further more the regulation states that:
"Any LEV system must be thoroughly appraised and tested at least once every 14 months. - Regulation 9.2. This is reduced to 6 months in certain circumstances."
Introducing LEV Testing and support service's
What is LEV and why do I need it?
Every year, thousands of workers in Britain develop occupational diseases from breathing in certain dusts, fumes or other airborne contaminants at work. Local Exhaust Ventilation, often called dust or fume extraction, can help clean the air, before people breathe in these harmful substances. (Excerpt from HSE web site).
What is LEV?
Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) is a machine that extracts air from a process as a way of controlling and reducing the exposure of workers to dust, fumes and vapor which could be hazardous to their health.
Why do I need LEV testing?
It is a legal requirement, as set out in the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, for any employer to maintain working conditions for employees. Any employer that uses LEV techniques in the workplace must have equipment examined and tested at least "every 14 months" to ensure it is working effectively and safely.
What does LEV testing involve?
A thorough examination of equipment including hoods, filters and ducts, measurement of the technical performance using the appropriate equipment and assessment of the effectiveness of the LEV system. Purex will make recommendations should your system not be up to the required standard. All work is carried out according to HSE guidance which governs LEV testing.
What are the regulations for LEV?
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) are the government body responsible for the regulation and enforcement of work related risks to people in the work place. Dust & fume exposure is a key element of the COSHH 2002 (Control of Substances Hazard to Health) regulations setting out exposure limits, preventative guidelines and on going reductions of the contact between people and hazardous gas and particulates. Under COSHH, companies must take steps to prevent, control, maintain and monitor dust and fume exposure in the workplace, as laid out in regulation 9.
What is LEV Testing?
LEV or Local Exhaust Ventilation systems are designed to protect workers from hazardous dust and fumes. To ensure the systems are functioning correctly they need regular testing by a qualified person.
What are the Health & Safety Laws?
The UK COSHH (Care of Substances Hazardous to Health) regulations 9.2 states that LEV control equipment must be tested, "...in the case of local exhaust ventilation plant, at least once every 14 months..."
How Do I Get My LEV System Tested?
Simple, with a Purex Sentinel - LEV Testing & Support Pack. The 1 or 3 year pack helps to ensure that your LEV system is tested on time every time. Plus you also receive additional machine support benefits and we don't just LEV test Purex systems, we can test your whole site!

Derby Top-10 Qualifiers: Pros and Cons
Submitted by Jim Hurley on Friday, April 22, 2016 at 10:33 AM
Friday 4/22/16
DERBY TOP QUALIFIERS...INTRODUCTORY PROS AND CONS (Part 1)
With 15 days until the 2016 Kentucky Derby (May 7, Churchill Downs) it is time to gear up DERBY DOINGS and we'll start today with Part 1 of the "CLIFF NOTES" version of our Top Qualifier Outline.
Saturday's edition will publish the remaining 10 on the Top List as well as the also eligible and subsequent editions of DERBY DOINGS will go into much more detail and will be published on a regular basis...every other day is the plan.
So let's begin by producing a brief PROS and CONS segment for each of the current TOP 10 OF THE TOP 20 POINTS QUALIFIERS in order of amassed points.
PROS - Knows how to win with 4 victories from 5 career starts. More than well-bred for the distance as a son of Candy Ride (tactical distance speed) out of a Giant's Causeway mare (foundation and classic distance. Has been working well at CD since early April. Has improved his speed number in very race for trainer Steve Asmussen.
CONS - Tactical speed horses exiting the Fair Grounds prep cycle have been a liability in recent years and the colt will have a 6 week break between the Louisiana Derby and Kentucky Derby.
PROS - Has not had a hiccup yet in his undefeated career. Hails from the I'll Have Another (2012 Derby Winner) connections (trainer Doug O'Neill/jockey Mario Gutierrez.) Running style indicates he should continue his speed a distance of ground and has shown he can come off the pace if necessary. One of the contingency of Southern California based 3-year olds that have been dominant in recent years.
CONS - Despite the success as a young sire there are still questions as to Uncle Mo's ability to get a classic distance progeny. The Grand sire and Dam Sire are both mile speed runners. Of late (although it may be by design) his works have been much slower over the CD surface than they were at SA.
PROS - His Santa Anita sweep-to-victory win the Derby was eye catching. He is coming to hand at the right time for trainer/jockey combo Keith & Kent Desormeaux. A son of Curlin, like many of that sire's progeny, he has gotten better with racing. No contender in the projected field has come close to duplicating his 4 straight triple digit BRIS Speed Numbers and he has shown an ability to stalk the paced or rally from well off it.
CONS - Has to show that the success he has had on an off race track (3-2-1-0) can be repeated on a fast dirt track (6-2-1-1.)
PROS - Another of the sons of rapidly impressing young sire Uncle Mo. He has come to hand quickly for trainer Todd Pletcher and has shown resilient tactical speed, especially when he dug in the win the Wood Memorial in his final prep. Dam sire Empire Maker provides plenty of foundation and distance blood.
CONS - Is lightly raced, with only 4 career starts and will have plenty of speed competition early in the Derby. Had an easy lead vs Destin in the Tampa bay derby and could not hold that one at bay and in the Wood...which has not produced much in recent Derbies...was all out to beat the maiden Southern California shipper Trojan Nation. Still has much to prover.
PROS - Has won over the surface as a juvenile and put it all together in winning the Blue Grass with a well-timed rally to draw clear. Was a sharp closing third behind Nyquist in the BC Juvenile in his 2-year old finale and the Blue Grass dismissed his poor Tampa bay performance.
CONS - His overall speed figures don't come close to meeting the best in here (he has never reached triple digits) and his style of running from well off the pace has never wavered, which means he'll need the perfect trip...something that few closers get in the Derby.
PROS - Through his hat in the ring big time by upsetting the field in the Arkansas Derby with a determined stretch long drive. The son of leading sire Tapit not only gets that one's distance excellence but the dam Privately Held won at an average distance in her career of 8 ½ furlongs which means classic distance is strong on both sides. Trainer Steve Asmussen looks for a repeat of Curlin's late development to win the 2007 Kentucky Derby.
CONS - The colt needed 6 tries to break his maiden and though he has won 2 of his last 3 they have all been at Oaklawn. In addition, it has been speed runners and stalkers such as Danza, Bodemeister and Super Saver who gone on from the Arkansas Derby to perform well in Louisville while closer such as Overanalyze and Archarcharch have not fared well the first Saturday in May.
PROS - Was on the wise guy list even before his convincing UAW Derby win. His breeding is of course Kentucky Derby-centric, being a sun of Tapit out of a winning Sunday Silence mare. The female line has been the bellwether of recent Derby success, not just winners but those who place and this colt has a dam line that averaged a n 8 ½ furlong average winning distance.
CONS - There have not been many, but the significantly successful Desert winners that have tried the Derby, most recently the well-enough-regarded Mubtaahij (8th last year) have not fared well.
PROS - The ultra-consistent colt has never been worse than second in his 7 race career with 3 wins and 4 placings. The Bob Baffert trained son of Eskendereya has the kind of tactical speed and stretch staying power that has served him well in his last 5 races...all Graded Stakes. He beat Exaggerator in the San Felipe and was second to that one in the Santa Anita derby so measures well in the Southern California hierarchy.
CONS - His female line is a bit short on stamina and in both the San Felipe and Santa Anita Derby he ran on but made up no ground or gave ground through the lane so 10 furlongs is a meaningful question mark.
PROS - Was almost invincible as he began his career with 5 straight victories, including dominant wins in the Grade 2 Remsen at Aqueduct to conclude his juvenile campaign and in the Grade 2 Holy Bull and Grade 2 Fountain Of Youth at Gulfstream to begin his 3-year old campaign. Another son of the brilliant sire Tapit he has a stalking style that serves well in the Kentucky Derby and his sharp works since failing in the Florida derby indicate he is on his toes.
CONS - Like Mor Spirit, his female line is short on distance and stamina (out of the Dixie Union mare Justwhistledixie...average win distance less than 7 furlongs) his late fade at 9 furlongs in the Florida Derby might indicated difficulty getting 10 panels.
PROS - He has displayed brilliant speed in winning three straight, including a 7 furlong MSW triumph, one mile allowance win and a wire-to-wire dominance in the mile and a sixteenth Grade 2 San Felipe, indicating that he would stretch out that speed. He showed that good speed again in the Santa Anita Derby in his final prep but weakened late and backed up in the lane...although it was his first off-track try.
CONS - While his Southern California roots might be a positive it is worth considering that his failure in the Santa Anita Derby was not just due to the slop but a product of speed breeding that has both his sire Twirling candy and dam sire Songandaprayer having average winning distances of well less than 7 furlongs. No duel breeding lines of less than 7 furlongs have come close in the Derby in recent history.
