Ex-'Sourced Locally' store set for new lease of life as bakery business moves in
PUBLISHED: 08:39 11 January 2019 | UPDATED: 14:14 11 January 2019
The East of England Co-op's former Darsham Hamper store has been snapped up by an ex-brewery boss.
Steve Magnall was managing director of St Peter's Brewery near Bungay until last year, when he quit to join wife Rebecca at her Southwold and Aldeburgh-based Two Magpies bakery business as an equal partner.
They want to expand the business by creating a bakery, bakery school and café at the site, along the A12 near Yoxford, after buying it for £475k including VAT. A plan to extend and remodel is expected to cost nearly £200k, and they hope to open it in spring, creating a number of jobs, subject to planning consent.

Darsham Hamper was a flagship for East of England Co-op's Sourced Locally produce, opening for business in 2014. But the regional retail chain decided to sell it last year after the store struggled to make what it described as "a sustained, positive contribution" to the business. It was shut in September 2018.
But the Magnalls see it as an ideal location for a new bakery, enabling the business to expand and allow more room at its original Southwold site for its bakery café. They were "really excited" after the deal went through on December 21, said Mr Magnall.
The couple, who currently employ around 45 staff, have already spent around £80k refurbishing and refitting their new branch at Aldeburgh, which has proved a big hit since opening in the latter part of 2018. The business was formerly a bakery, but the Magnalls are close to completing a complete refit, rebrand and a complete move to Two Magpies bakery products. It has 52 seats indoors, with a further 12 outside.
They wanted to focus on quality, customer service, integrity and brand, sourcing coffee from AllPress in London and many ingredients locally, said Mr Magnall. "I saw the potential of the business," he said. "Both Southwold and Aldeburgh are just rammed to the rafters. The guys can't keep up. It's really hard work for them - they run out of space.
"For me, the only reason this works is by scaling it up."
A four-deck pizza oven operation will remain at Southwold, but a new larger oven will be installed at Darsham. The investment in the business was "significant", he said, "From my point of view and Rebecca's the brand is really respected," he said.
All the interior design, in Norwegian pine, has been designed by the couple.

One of the main goals of the Mu.SA project is to address the increasing disconnection between formal education and training and the world of work in the museum sector. In order to achieve this goal, the MU.SA project was conceived in different phases. The findings will be used in order to develop training programmes in various different formats such as the MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), European specialization courses with face-to-face classes, as well as e-learning and workplace learning, in line with the specific needs of the museum sector.
1) Research
The consortium investigated which digital and transferable competences are fundamental in order to support museum professionals and help them in their efforts to make museums thrive in a digital environment by capitalizing on and revising the results of the eCult Skills project.
From December 2016 to March 2017 partners carried out a mapping of professional competences, digital and transferable, with the involvement of eighty-one experts in Europe, ranging from museum directors to policy makers, researchers, freelancers, etc. This study was conducted through interviews and focus groups, and it aimed to ensure a balance between various different points of view. A mapping of training provisions was also carried out by means of desk research and an online survey. Within the Mu.SA – Museum Sector Alliance project, research resulted in four emerging role – profiles: Digital Strategy Manager, Digital Collections Curator, Digital Interactive Experience Developer and Online Community Manager which were updated and revised according to the needs of museum professionals.
The research led to four main outputs:
"The Museum of the Future: Insights and reflections from 10 international museums" by Symbola and Melting Pro

Instantly fascinated by what she saw on television regarding the art of creating realistic infants, Lucie Corriveau decided to undertake this project. Each moment spent in her workshop is an immense pleasure and a constant challenge in crafting each doll to look almost lifelike. The least details are important such as the size, the length, the weight, the hair (which are put in on by one), the eyelashes, the eyes, the sex, the colors and shades of the skin, the small beauty mark, the pinkish hue of a baby, nothing is left out in order to give them life, or at least on the face of things. Quote: If you give me a photograph of a baby, showing all his characteristics, I am able to recreate him just like an artist would on a canvas.
Lucie Corriveau comes from Asbestos but grew up in Wotton. Her interest in arts took her within a world of creation through training, working with water colours as well as interior decorating. In 2010, she studied in France with renowned artist and teacher Mrs Mireille Legris who specializes in the creation of re born infants. Moreover, she is a member of the artistic group called CoaticArt.
The exhibit will include a diversified collection with creations from different origins.

According to the SuperSport website, Meyer is concerned enough about who will back up Louw's ball scavenging skills that he has even mentioned Heinrich Brüssow, a regular Springbok in the Peter de Villiers era and often a match-winner, as a possible alternative should Marcell Coetzee and Siya Kolisi not excel at the breakdown in Saturday's match against Scotland in Nelspruit.
Meyer said in Umhlanga Rocks on the first Monday of the tour that he would use the matches against Italy at Kings Park and Scotland at the Mbombela Stadium to give as many players in the squad as possible an opportunity to play.
It was no secret then that he was intending playing a different halfback combination, with Patrick Lambie slated to start at No 10 in Nelspruit.
Meyer denies it was the quality of the performance put in against Italy in Durban that prompted him to stick with mostly the same combinations this week.
But then he also did say that the team had played so well last week that he wanted them to get another chance to build on their previous performance.
On some levels, that makes sense, though if promises were made to players and plans were changed, that would obviously not be a good thing.
Will Meyer call up the extra players for the last match in Pretoria on Saturday week?
Perhaps he will, but he was less clear on Wednesday than he was the previous week on the subject of giving the back-up players a chance.
"The thing is that everyone seems to be assuming that the players want a rest because they have played so much, but that is not the case," said Meyer.
"They want to wear the Springbok jersey in as many test matches as possible. At Test level, they don't want to rest.
"And neither is it the stage where they should be rested. Selection is a difficult business.
"I need to balance up a lot of things, and the soul-searching normally starts immediately after the previous test finishes."
That may be so, and Meyer is right when he says the franchise coaches aren't playing ball by resting players when they should be rested, but his stance does take away his right to complain about it if there is a wave of injuries brought on by over-use during the Rugby Championship for he does have an opportunity now to use his top players more sparingly.
And while Meyer is taking every opportunity to voice his respect for Scotland, in reality if the Boks can't put away the team that lost to Samoa last weekend then South African rugby is way behind where it should be at this point.
Scotland came to the country depleted and they've lost further key players since the tour started.
At least though Louw's absence on Saturday will avail Meyer of the opportunity to see what the back-up at No. 6 has to offer.
The word "fetcher" is an overused one and coaches rightly shy away from it, tending to produce that cliché about all 15 players being capable of winning back the ball on the ground and in contact.
At the same time though, it would be naïve to ignore the fact that most teams do have specialists who, to coin another cliché, play to the ball, and last year's final Test against England in Port Elizabeth, when the big ball carrying presence of Willem Alberts was absent, showed up the folly of not having one.
When Alberts was there to carry, Marcell Coetzee could concentrate on more of a scavenging role, but when he wasn't, Coetzee found himself too thinly spread across the different functions of a loose-forward.
Coetzee gets another chance to wear the No. 6 at the weekend after being displaced by Louw during last season's Rugby Championship, and Meyer is hoping that he will show that he can make a strong fist of the role of being the premier ball scavenger, a role that becomes even more important in the absence of Duane Vermeulen.
The Stormers No. 8 joined Louw in playing to the ball last season.
"I'm not yet convinced that Marcell can play that role at the breakdown.
"We already have Flo (Louw) in that position, but we need a back-up that can also perform that role and have the same influence."
"I want to build a big squad of 35 players to take forward to the 2015 World Cup and this is a big opportunity for players like Marcell and Siya Kolisi (who is on the bench on Saturday).
"They have to show me that they can specialise in that role.
"I will have to consider other options.
"Even a guy like Heinrich Brüssow will come into contention."
That last comment will please many, and if it is an indication that Meyer is flexible enough to change his views that is a positive, but it is a contradiction of his line from last year.
Back then he said that Brüssow was too limited in the sense that he doesn't offer strong ball carrying abilities and physicality in defence.
In other words, it's a size issue.

Next week sees the return of the next instalment of the BBC's popular Victorian Farm and Edwardian Farm series. This time it is Wartime Farm. At least one episode feature Steve Mason, our CIO for Hampshire. Steve plays the part of an Intelligence Officer. The show also features scenes of Auxiliary Unit Re-enactors including Gerry Sutcliffe who has worked with CART a lot.
In a new eight-part series, historian Ruth Goodman and archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn take on their biggest challenge yet – to turn back the clock and run Manor Farm exactly as it would have been during the Second World War. They will face one of the biggest challenges ever seen in the history of the British countryside – what Churchill called 'the frontline of freedom'.
As well as tackling the trials of day to day living in volatile times, the team will be managing livestock, attempting to cultivate unused land, tackling new tools and technologies and learning the basics of civil defence, while all the time confronting shortages.
The first episode finds the farmers in a new location, a new time period and with a new team member. There is a farmhouse to modernise, strict new rules to abide by and air raid precautions to contend with.
The team begin by reclaiming land to grow new crops, whilst Peter works with a blacksmith to design a special 'mole plough' to help drain the waterlogged clay fields. Meanwhile Ruth and Alex get to grips with a troublesome wartime tractor – and must plough through the night to get the wheat crop sown in time.
During World War II farmers were tasked with the massive job of doubling food production,
but their detailed knowledge of the landscape also made them ideal recruits for one of the war's most secret organisations – the 'Auxiliary Units', a British resistance force trained to use guerrilla tactics against German invasion.
Wartime Farm was co-produced with The Open University. (Source: BBC)

Using chalks for your cards making or scrap booking ideas is a fantastic way of adding extra color to your pages. Chalks can also be used to create shadows or to shade in the edges of torn or ripped paper.
Using chalks can transform a piece of paper together with being relatively inexpensive and the results are always unique.
Before you begin to add chalk to any card making idea you have or to a piece of paper it is advisable to have a scrap piece of paper to hand so that you can experiment and work out which colors work well together. Depending on how dramatic you want the effect to be will be determined by how vigoursly you brush the chalk on.
If you have begun to add the chalks to one of your card making ideas and have made a mistake, all is not lost, using an artists eraser will safely and effectively remove the chalk from the paper. This type of eraser is also handy for removing any stray chalk dust.
Once you have finished applying the chalk and you are happy with the overall design you will need to use a fixative to stop the chalk from smearing. As tempting as it may be never use hairspray to set the chalk, it is particularly important if you are using the chalks for scrap booking because hairspray is not photo friendly and can react badly causing your photos to deteriorate.
Chalks are really great to use with rubber stamps. Using a Versmark inkpad to stamp the image you can then begin to apply the different chalk colors (remember to start with the lighter color first) and soon you will see the image begin to take shape.
Storing your chalks is important, it is recommended that you store chalks in a box with a lid and keep them as flat as possible, excessive banging and knocking of the box will cause the chalks to break up and worse of all mix together rendering them useless.
Chalks are extremely easy to get hold of, you can find them in most craft stores and they can also be obtained via the internet so keep your eyes open for a bargain!.
If you have never used chalks before it is well worth giving it a go, they are a great embellishing tool that will allow you to create works of art in seconds. They are inexpensive and a great way to create depth to any card making ideas.

Cowper under investigation over land clearing
Corrective Services Minister Murray Cowper is being investigated for alleged illegal land clearing at a holiday shack community, prompting calls for him to be sacked.
The Department of Environment and Conservation confirmed Mr Cowper was being investigated under the Environmental Protection Act.
Mr Cowper, who is also Minister for Training and Workforce Development, said he used a small earthmover to clear sand piled up next to a shack on Wedge Island.
Mr Cowper said he did not know that clearing the sand was not allowed until a DEC officer told him, and he understood that was based on new information.
But the DEC said the land clearing laws had not changed.
Opposition treasury spokesman Ben Wyatt called for Mr Cowper to be sacked.
But Premier Colin Barnett said he was not jumping to conclusions, and was not aware of the matter until this morning.
Mr Wyatt said it was not tenable for a minister to be under investigation.
"I don't think anybody would accept that," he said.
Mr Wyatt also said Mr Barnett prided his party on high standards of accountability.
The Liberal leader has frequently reminded voters during the current election campaign that five ministers under the previous Labor government were forced to resign or were sacked after becoming embroiled in Corruption and Crime Commission inquiries.
The Wedge Island community began as a haven for surfers but has become popular with other holidaymakers.
The shacks themselves would normally be considered illegal as they are on a declared nature reserve, but have been tolerated amid a campaign to "Save Wedge Island".
The State Government is keeping the shacks on rolling leases until a plan for better management of the area can be devised.

War on Drugs Resumes in California
War on Drugs Resumes in California – there was a stunning raid of Power Farms, LLC in Santa Barbara County last week. The report on what transpired states
On January 31, 2019, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Cannabis Compliance Team concluded a four-month investigation into a local cannabis cultivator, operating under the name of Power Farms LLC, which is located just outside the City of Carpinteria. During this investigation, which spanned two counties and involved three separate search warrants, Detectives discovered one of the owners, whose name is being withheld due to the ongoing investigation, had provided false information during the county cannabis application process and was failing to follow proper shipping and manifest procedures. The owners's Los Angeles County home, was served with a search warrant. There, Detectives seized several unregistered firearms, two which were reported stolen, as well as approximately 60 pounds of processed and packaged marijuana taken from Power Farms. They also seized thousands of dollars in cash and other items of evidence.
This investigation culminated in the voluntary surrender of the owner's state temporary cannabis license, which resulted in detectives from the Cannabis Compliance Team, Special Investigations Bureau, District Attorney's Office, and Game Wardens from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, eradicating and removing illegal cannabis from Power Farms as they no longer had a valid state permit to cultivate or possess commercial cannabis. Approximately 22,420 cannabis plants were eradicated from three separate green houses and approximately 1,420 pounds of dried / drying cannabis were seized.
Source: Power Farms Raided In Santa Barbara County California After Lying On Application
So let's see if we can summarize what happened here:
The owners provided false information on a license application.
The key to what occurred lies in the falsity in the licensing application.
The operation was not following proper SOP's with respect to transportation manifests
Confronted with the falsity the unrepresented and ill-advised owner voluntarily surrendered his license.
The raid was blessed by the surrender of the license.
Is the consultant who assisted in the preparation of the license exposed to a conspiracy charge?
How about their attorneys?
Our Cannabis Mage suggests the following advice be carefully reflected upon in the situation:
– When confronted with a search warrant, do not say anything.
– BCC has an enforcement division and is looking for scalps.
– A low profile is a good thing to have.
– You cannot trust anyone in the industry.
We truly try not to self promote, but this situation illustrates where having a CPA firm with real experience working in the legal cannabis industry in California in tandem with an experienced attorney just might help prevent disaster. The alternative is hiring a Mage.

Public Observing
The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers free viewing through their campus astronomical telescopes to all Dartmouth students and to the public. The public viewing nights are usually offered only during the school terms. Observing of the Moon, planets and stars is available on Friday nights. See below for the observing schedule and the objects currently being observed.
Public observing occurs in the North Telescope next to Shattuck Observatory
Public observing occurs in the North Telescope, a small white shed behind the Shattuck Observatory (pictured to the right). Red lights will guide the way to the public observing. Observing is only possible under good weather conditions, meaning mostly clear skies with little chance of rain or snow. If the weather is questionable, call (603) 646-9100 and select option 2 to find out the current status of an observing session. Selecting option 1 will give dates and times for the current term.
Shattuck Observatory is the oldest scientific building on campus. Many astronomy classes use Dartmouth's observing resources. For the astronomical research carried out by the Department of Physics & Astronomy, Dartmouth owns a share of the largest telescope in the Southern Hemisphere, the 11-meter Southern African Large Telescope (SALT), as well as the MDM Observatory, consisting of 1.3 and 2.4 meter telescopes, on Kitt Peak in Arizona.
In addition to SALT and MDM, Dartmouth astronomers, faculty, and students make use of many more of the world's leading space- and ground-based observational facilities, including the Hubble, Spitzer, and Herschelspace observatories, Chandra, XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and Suzaku X-ray satellites, the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer, W.M. Keck Observatory, MMT Observatory, and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, as well as being involved in the planning of upcoming and proposed missions.
Directions and Parking
Traveling along East Wheelock Street toward the Dartmouth Green, take the first right after Alumni Gym (on left) onto Observatory Road.
Traveling along West Wheelock Street toward the Dartmouth Green, take the second left after the Hanover Inn onto Observatory Road.
From either direction: Once on Observatory Road, go up the hill and through one intersection. The Observatory is on the right as you reach the top of the hill.
Click here for a map. Public observing uses the North Telescope.
You may park anywhere in the nearby parking lots during observing hours. Please do not park in the small dirt lot just behind the Observatory.

I am thinking after this discussion to start using Ruby instead of Python.
Blacklight looks extremely useful, and Hydra is something I am going to
look more at. Plus, data structures in Python just seem drastically
overcomplicated coming from a C-family background (lists vs tuples vs
dicts, and don't even think about trying to sort a dict by key). And as
you mentioned the process of installing modules is just awful. I have also
run into quite a few frustrations with the big split between Python 2.x
and 3.x where some modules that are critical to me (such as Suds, the SOAP
module) are 2.x only.
It looks like Ruby has all the bases covered for me needs in MARC, screen
scraping, etc, and it seems to have more momentum as far as projects
active in the library world.
Plus, SASS/Compass is amazing.
And I hate Python whitespace.

Not intending to start a language flame war/holy war here, but in the
library coding community, is there a particular reason to use Ruby over
Python or vice-versa? I am personally comfortable with Python, but I have
noticed that there is a big Ruby following in Code4Lib and similar
communities. Am I going to be able to contribute and work better with the
community if I use Ruby rather than Python?
I am 100% aware that there is no objective way to answer which of the two
languages is the best. I am interested in the much more narrow question of
which will work better for library-related scripting projects in terms of
the following factors:
-existing modules that I can re-use that are related to libraries (MARC
tools, XML/RDF tools, modules released by major vendors, etc)
-availability of help from others in the community -interest/ability of
others to re-use my code

Perfect image for an Easter Sunday.
Be careful of those farmer-drivers – you get mowed down and there's no rising again in 3 days like you-know-who!
365-113 Green acres
Just a simple pastoral scene today. The sheep kept running away from me no matter where I went. I was on the side of a fairly busy rural road and the cars fly by fast, so I had hesitations on shooting and worked quick. Not the photo I had in my head when I was shooting but it's OK, I guess.
Happy Easter to those who celebrate!

Sleepercar, the El Paso-based side project of Sparta's Jim Ward, pays a call on the Mink tonight, topping a typically eclectic local bill of Buxton, B., the Jonbenet and Giant Princess. Doors at 8.
"A Broken Promise":
Sleepercar's debut, West Texas (Doghouse/Civil Defense League), is shaping up to be one of the best Texas and alt.country - though it's equally indie-rock - releases of the year, so seeing them in close quarters like the Mink is a rare treat indeed. How did this happen, anyway?
During their recent Texas travels, "We met some fine young men from Houston that play in a band called Buxton," Ward writes on Sleepercar's Web site. "We decided to take our day off from the Lucero tour and go down and play a show with them in Houston."
Though Lucero's absence is going to piss off at least one member of the Press' advertising corps, we're certainly glad Buxton talked Sleepercar into coming down. After the jump, videos from other recent notable side projects. - Chris Gray

Keep up to date with the latest news and announcements relating to Council's projects and services. Please contact Council if the information you require is not displayed.
Since the Whitsunday Regional Council adopted the Temporary Local Planning Instrument02/2013 Bowen Flooding and Storm Tide Regulation (TLPI) in December last year the number of development applications lodged and approved in Bowen has actually increased.
Mayor Jenny Whitney said alarmist statements that the TLPI is killing the building industry, or that the industry is in crisis have been proven to be incorrect.
"Since the TLPI was introduced in December last year, 31 building applications have beenreceived and approved by Council within the TLPI area in Bowen," Mayor Whitney said.
"In the six months prior to the TLPI coming into effect only 24 building applications were received and approved by Council in the same area.
"This proves that the building industry in Bowen is not stalling in fact the activity has increasedsince the TLPI came into effect," she said.
Mayor Whitney said the purpose of the TLPI is to help keep the Bowen community safe in a flood event, by keeping further development and people away from flood waters.
"We are committed to the safety of people and property, and ensuring their protection fromunacceptable risks due to flooding and storm tide, the TLPI helps us achieve this goal," she said.
"The TLPI places strict conditions on all types of development including houses, sheds, units and businesses within the mapped Natural Hazard Trigger Zone.
"Despite these conditions the development approval figures from the last year show that with theTLPI in place the building industry can continue to grow in a way which won't place the people ofBowen at further risk from flooding," she said.
Council implemented these changes in accordance with the Queensland Government's reforms to its planning practices particularly in relation to planning for more resilient floodplains.
The Queensland Government released new information and guidelines relating to coastal hazard mapping taking into account the impacts of climate change and potential storm tide inundation.
Regulating development in accordance with TLPI 02/2013 will help minimise the potential adverse impacts caused by flooding and storm tide on new development, whilst also limiting the potential worsening of impacts on existing development.

South America is a continent situated in the Western Hemisphere between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Most of it is in the Southern Hemisphere. more...
Commonly referred to as part of the Americas, like North America, South America is named after Amerigo Vespucci, who was the first European to suggest that the Americas were not the East Indies, but a previously undiscovered New World.
South America has an area of 17,840,000 km² (6,890,000 sq mi), or almost 3.5% of the Earth's surface. As of 2005, its population was estimated at more than 371,000,000. South America ranks fourth in area (after Asia, Africa, and North America) and fifth in population (after Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America).
Geographically, South America is generally considered a continent forming the southern portion of the American landmass, south and east of the Panama Canal transecting the Isthmus of Panama. Depending on source, South and North America are sometimes considered a single continent or supercontinent, while constituent regions are infrequently considered subcontinents. Geopolitically, all of Panama – including the segment east of the Panama Canal in the isthmus – is often considered a part of North America alone and among the countries of Central America.
It became attached to North America only recently (geologically speaking) with the formation of the Isthmus of Panama some 3 million years ago, which resulted in the Great American Interchange. The Andes, likewise a comparatively young and seismically restless mountain range, run down the western edge of the continent; the land to the east of the Andes is largely tropical rain forest, the vast Amazon River basin. The continent also contains drier regions such as Patagonia and the extremely arid Atacama desert.

'Caprica' Season Premiere: Better Grieving Through Technology
While part one of Caprica established the series' conflict between science and faith, part two explores the far more frightening idea of what happens when technology and faith start to work together.
CapricaAirtime: Tuesdays, 10pm
Cast: Eric Stoltz, Esai Morales, Polly Walker, Paula Malcomson, Alessandra Torresani
Subtitle: Unvanquished, Season One, Part Two Premiere
Network: SyFy
Air date: 2010-10-05
It might be dangerous for ratings to divide the first season of a serialized drama in half but if Caprica's part-two season opener, Unvanquished, is anything to go by, it's even more dangerous to combine virtual technology and religious fundamentalism. While part one established the series' conflict between science and faith, part two complicates the fight by exploring the far more frightening idea of what happens when technology and faith start to work together.
We rejoin the action with Soldiers of the One (STO) member Sister Clarice (Polly Walker) who designs an explosive plan to bring the masses "apotheosis" through a virtual heaven filled with avatars of the One God martyrs. Her plan to bolster the faith through an artificial afterlife finds a counterpart in Daniel Graystone's (Eric Stoltz) equally disturbing scheme to conquer grief by creating digital avatars of the deceased with whom the living can interact. Graystone however, cannot implement his plan alone and his Faustian deal with the Tauron criminal underworld suggests that his troubles are only beginning.
In Unvanquished, the series continues the theme of blind ambition. Both Graystone and Sister Clarice are motivated by their unwavering commitment to their belief systems. Graystone's turn to the dark side in part two is a continuation of the character's downward spiral. If part one was about Daniel losing his daughter, his wife and his company, part two is about him losing what's left of himself. When his resolve to honor the deal with the Taurons is tested by their request for him to make a disturbing choice, it's clear that Graystone is walking a thin line between good and evil. Similarly, Clarice's success in convincing the One God leaders that her plan will work comes with a steep price that she accepts all too easily. Daniel's blind devotion to technology is perhaps a too obvious counterpoint to Clarice's slavish adherence to her religion. Yet, both characters are complex depictions of the inner struggle between right and wrong which makes Caprica an enjoyable change from the 'battle in space' storyline of its parent series, Battlestar Galactica.
Caprica's mix of ancient and modern—the characters worship the Greek gods but live in a society of 'holo-band' technology where anything is possible in a virtual world—sets-up an intriguing tension between both old and new and science and ethics. Because the show also deals with more classic themes, including the relationship between parents and children and wives and husbands, the narrative is more conventional than other science fiction series. Yet, it is this nod to traditional plot devices that makes ,Caprica relatable even as it envisions a dystopian future on the verge of moral destruction. If you watched Battlestar Galactica, you are aware that the robotic race of Cylons, who are given a back story here, will destroy most of mankind. What makes Caprica an interesting prequel is its suggestion that mankind had a strong role in its downfall long before the rise of the machines.

"…what I know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have." Oprah Winfrey Golden Globes Speech for Lift Time Achievement
Everybody has a story to tell. Telling our story authentically; simply and truly is the most powerful tool we all have. So says Oprah; so say survivors of personal tragedy or life ordeal. So say the producers of Broadway's now global phenomenon Hamilton, which tells the story of Alexander Hamilton and indeed the founding of America. Echoed throughout the play is the refrain "Who lives, Who dies, Who keeps your flame Who tells your story?"
Organisations scramble trying to find their voice through stories of origin, vison and character to give themselves a personality a relevance. Many times, soliciting the stories of their clients and customers to engender empathy – the holy connection of any story. I see me in the story and the story shows me a path idea or possibility I'd forgotten or had yet to imagine.
How do you speak your truth and where does that story come from? It comes from all the moments of your life when you thought you could and did. Didn't think you could and tried. All the times when you thought you'd messed up so bad that nothing would ever be good again. All the times when everything was so good you wanted to believe it would last forever. It's in these Threshold Moments your story reveals its truth and the path you take there and onward give the story its shape.
What drives you to have to tell your story? To put a something to rights? To clear your conscious? To alert and warn? Perhaps to enlighten, entertain, encourage others to tell theirs? Or maybe because it's time to stand up and be heard.
Take the time to reflect on these moments and share your memories with someone who holds the space, honestly listening and feeding back to you what they see, feel and hear allowing the pieces to fall together into your story. Once upon a time, not twice not thrice just once and never again…
Although each story is unique there is that common thread that is the is the tie that binds us together. When Joseph Campbell set out to find the mono-myth with the theory we all actually tell the same story; he uncovered thousands of variants and boiled them down to the Heroes Journey. But although there was a commonality it's the variations that give each story their uniqueness and reveal specifics of the culture they come from. Remember stories contain our DNA. When you listen really listen to a skilled teller or someone who is so vulnerable and speaks their truth from the heart you hear it: irrefutable TRUTH and you identify with it. It will resonate within you as truth for you.
There is no longer a separation between the personal story and the public persona whether that person is a sport entertainment or political icon. You are always a person first. And what is happening now is 'The Truth Will Out' and the bones surface and the buried tell-tale heart beats.
If your story is false it is failing. If your story is true it gathers momentum. Evidenced in the #metoo and #timesup #blacklivesmatter stories. Evidenced also in the Trump platform which allowed all the disenfranchised an opportunity to voice their anger and dissatisfied passions. But a story needs a focus an underlying theme which drives it. Vengeance. Injustice. Freedom. Courage. Love. Hate. Success. Failure.
Find your story. Listen out for it. Tell it in your words, actions and in service to others. Speak UP Speak OUT! For as Campbell also observed: "…the privilege of a lifetime is being who you are."
If you feel called to speak your truth and tell your story but need that held space and guiding experienced hand get in touch for a discovery call let's work together 1:1 or drop into a workshop. Threshold Moments or Story DE:Coded and let's hear your story!

Eleven Essential Paul McCartney Albums
In honor of his 71st birthday, let's sample the best of his post-Beatles work.
Paul McCartney turns 71 years old this week, with 47 albums to his credit. (You could also add his 12 albums with the Beatles to that list.) So looking at his work with Wings, as a solo artist, and part of the electronic duo "The Fireman", let's narrow it down to his eleven most essential albums. (Why 11? Because Flowers in the Dirt is so underrated.) Consider number one the starting place for a casual fan just looking for the hits, and the remaining numbers as a guide to becoming a well-rounded, obsessed Macca fan.
A thorough overview of the first fourteen years of his post-Beatles work, this is often considered as a greatest hits album. Sure enough, all of his radio hits, from "Uncle Albert /Admiral Halsey" to the live version of "Coming Up" are here, but the "history" half of this set serves as a sampler for several other albums. Do you love the romance of "Every Night"? Get McCartney next. Are you into the simmering "Let Me Roll It"? Then Band on the Run is for you. Not to mention, Wingspan is the only disc you can get the epic "Rockestra Theme" or the cutesy, at-home version of "Bip Bop/ Hey Diddle" on.
Adored by critics and fans, it recently got a boost of popularity due to the release of a remastered deluxe edition that included bonus tracks, music videos, an audio making-of documentary, and a hardbound book detailing its entire history. All true McCartney fans know the incredible story behind its creation, but this remains one of his most accessible albums. There's plenty of rock ("Jet", "Let Me Roll It"), love songs ("Bluebird", "No Words"), and uniqueness ("Picasso's Last Words (Drink to Me)", "Mrs. Vandebilt"), all capped off with the extraordinarily awesome "Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five": one of the most underrated tracks in classic rock history.
Reflective and nostalgic, Paul's most personal album is a better biography than his own book. While the lyrics to "Only Mama Knows" and "House of Wax" are works of fiction, the rest of the tracklist finds him reminiscing about his own experiences. It's the type of album that a younger man couldn't pull off, including "The End of the End", in which he pictures the afterlife and details how he wants to be remembered. The deluxe version is worth the extra effort just for "Why So Blue's" endearing look at "Eleanor Rigby"-esque loneliness.
This was Paul's only live concert album for decades, and it's currently his best. Recently re-released, it is worth its purchase price just for Wings' acoustic cover of "Richard Cory". Mixed in with the famous live version of "Maybe I'm Amazed" and a few Beatles covers are some underrated gems like "Spirits of Ancient Egypt" and "Soily". The set also features a couple of tracks off the awesome yet generally ignored Venus & Mars album. If you only own one McCartney album on vinyl, make sure this is it.
Much to the dismay of certain fans and critics, Paul McCartney isn't just a rocker. On this album, he lets his pop half take over, offering a little bit of everything all in one place. Much more than the infamous "Ebony & Ivory", it also includes the soaring title track and fun numbers like "Ballroom Dancing", "The Pound Is Sinking", and the electronic "Dress Me Up As a Robber". The closing track is his heartfelt, heart-breaking tribute to John Lennon, "Here Today", which strikes a chord with anyone who has dealt with the loss of a loved one.

The 2015 Baja 1000 ran from Ensenada to about halfway down the Mexican peninsula and back again. The first real turn of the race was this drop into the wash in the middle of town, where this poor guy couldn't quite make it off-road before crashing.
I can't tell who that is exactly. But motorcyclists would have started in the dark at around 6:00AM, so he might be toward the back of the pack which would suggest he's not one of the pros.
Still, looks like he just ran a little wide and got caught on a curb. Could happen to just about anyone so let that be a lesson; never expect there to be plenty of runoff on the outside of a turn!
Too bad it had to happen in the first few hundred feet of a day-long endurance race. Thankfully the rider gets up immediately after going down, but I can only imagine how disheartening (and painful) it'd be to start this event with those bruises.
Anybody recognize this rider and know whether or not they finished? Hope they're feeling better!

This year's Qulture Shock was a great success. It showcased dancing and music from Ireland to Malaysia and everywhere else in between! Jia Xin is sharing her thoughts on being part of the experience.
Qulture Shock is a new week-long event organised by the Queen's International Students Society (QISS) which is now in its second year. From the 11 to 15 of March 2019 a series of workshops and events were held for students who are interested in learning about different cultures.
The headline of the event is Qulture Night, an evening dedicated to showcasing different cultures from different countries all over the world through performances like acting, singing and dancing. Although it was only the second event, the response that Qulture Shock 2019 got was huge. I'm sure it will continue going from strength to strength.
QISS is a student-led and student-run society which collaborates with different cultural societies such as the Malaysian Student Society of Northern Ireland – which I'm a member of! Being a performer for both Qulture Shock 2018 and Qulture Night 2019, there were significant differences in their performances and the way cultures are being showcased.
In last year's Qulture Night 2018, the whole performance was based on a story extracted from the main character's diary. Where she, a Singaporean, had been to different countries and had engaged herself with different cultures. There were different dances in between the scenes, for example, Chinese dance, Indonesian dance and K-pop. I was able to take part in this - acting in some scenes and playing 4 different characters. At the same time, I was also asked to sing in some lines for the theme song.
For Qulture Night 2019, the whole performance was airline-based. The actors played student ambassadors who had the privilege to travel all over the world from Belfast together with the audiences who are in the flight. I was one of the actors in the performance. The main difference this year was that the focus was on showcasing traditional dances from many different countries.
Each dance group was assigned a dance instructor to choreograph the moves and to call for dancers. This meant there were a huge variety of dance styles this year as well. Including new dances that didn't feature last year – Russian dance, Malaysian dance, Irish dance and the Tango. The audience really loved the changes and the quality of dancing was second to none.
This year, Qulture Shock was bigger and better than ever. From the Qulture Roadshow which was held in the Peter Froggatt Centre with many different culture booths set up for traditional games, clothing, musical instruments and food to Qulture Night itself.
I am glad that I had the privilege to perform in both Qulture Shock 2018 and Qulture Night 2019 and to see the progress that QISS has made. All and all, Qulture Shock 2019 was a massive success and I am definitely looking forward to Qulture Shock 2020 – maybe I might even have the chance to try out new things as a performer, for example, being one of the dancers – who knows!

Best Actress: Dark Horses From Down Under
Rachel Weisz's surprise victory for The Deep Blue Sea with the New York Film Critics Circle—beating perceived front-runners Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) and Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook)—signals that the Best Actress race at this year's Oscars is wide open. And that may leave room for a pair of late-breaking contenders with Australian roots: The Impossible's Naomi Watts and The Girl's Abbie Cornish.
Watts (who was born in the U.K. but moved Down Under as a teenager) has been nominated once before, for her searing work as a grieving mother in the 2003 Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu-Guillermo Arriaga collaboration 21 Grams. (She deserved nods for David Lynch's Mulholland Dr. and David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises as well.) This time she teams with a Spanish writing-directing combo, Juan Antonio Bayona and Sergio G. Sanchez, for another account of a mom-in-distress: Maria, who barely survives the 2004 tsunami in Thailand and is separated—with only her oldest son (the remarkable Tom Holland) as companion—from her husband (Ewan McGregor, who's got an outside shot at a Best Supporting Actor nomination) and two younger boys. It's a gripping true story anchored by Watts' gut-wrenching, vanity-free performance.
The Girl, on the other hand, deals with smaller-scale devastation, but Cornish's work as a struggling single mom who reluctantly becomes a "coyote" for illegal immigrants crossing the border into Texas is mighty impressive. She establishes a powerful connection with amateur actress Maritza Santiago Hernandez as a Mexican orphan who ends up in her care, and her sensitive depiction of a working-class woman driven to break the law recalls Melissa Leo's breakthrough in Frozen River. It's a huge step up from the mindless Limitless and Madonna's royal stinker W.E.
It remains to be seen if Academy voters will smile upon Watts and Cornish. The Girl will be released for a one-week qualifying run on Dec. 14, and The Impossible will get a limited roll-out one week later. They'll have to compete for slots against not just Chastain, Lawrence and Weisz, but actresses as diverse as Helen Mirren (Hitchcock), Keira Knightley (Anna Karenina), Marion Cotillard (Rust and Bone), Emmanuelle Riva (Amour), Emayatzy Corinealdi (Middle of Nowhere) and Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild). Cornish and Watts may be longshots, but Oscar nominations for these Girls aren't Impossible.

Jennifer Aniston Makeup | Meet the Millers Premiere
The Secrets to Jennifer Aniston's Glowing Complexion Revealed
At the We're the Millers premiere in New York City, Jennifer Aniston strayed from her usual uniform of a strappy black cocktail dress, but she kept her signature glowy makeup look intact. Clad in a purple satin Burberry dress, the Aveeno global brand ambassador lit up the red carpet in a natural makeup palette. Get all the details on re-creating the luminous look below.
"We were going to have a long day with red carpet moments outdoors in a hot and humid New York City, so I wanted an oil-free moisturizer that hydrates and is lightweight," said Chanel celebrity makeup artist Angela Levin. That's why she reached for Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 15 ($17), using her fingers to massage the cream onto Jennifer's face and neck. Once Angels Makeup Collagen Treatment Pads ($20) were set under the eyes, Levin dabbed Young Blood's Mineral Primer ($41) on with a sponge, followed by Face Picture Perfect Foundation in O and J ($48 each) with a foundation brush.
After priming with Edward Bess Illuminating Eyeshadow Base ($30), Levin used various colors in Chanel's Quadra Eyeshadow in Spices ($59) to accentuate Jennifer's eye. The lightest color was applied directly under the brow to give a lifting effect, while the gold tone was added to the lid to brighten. "In the crease, I applied the dark mauve color in a half-moon shape in the center above the eyeball; this helps give a round, open look to the eyes," Levin explained. She next lined Jennifer's eyes with Chanel Luminous Eyeshadow in Ebloui ($36), removed the treatment pads, and applied Aveeno Positively Ageless Lifting & Firming Eye Cream ($20) and La Mer Concealer in Dark ($70).
Cheeks and Lips
"With a small round brush, I applied Chanel Cream Blush in Révélation ($38). It's the perfect natural, sun-kissed color," said Levin. A few swipes of Edward Bess Defining Lip Liner in Natural ($29) on the lips brought it all together for a flattering beat-the-heat finish.

Whether you attended our first Every Man's Battle Workshop in Chestertown, MD, or one of our more recent workshops, I would like to take a minute to extend a heart felt greeting to each of you, and to give you a word of encouragement. A five day seminar on sexual purity that you knew little about before coming can be a very scary thing. I think you guys are to be commended for your bravery and willingness to take a look at yourselves in that way. I hope the days since you 'graduated' from Every Man's Battle have been good ones, and that you are experiencing more and more of God's love and grace.
Before I go any further, let me tell you a little about myself. I have been in recovery from drugs, alcohol and sex addiction for a little over nine years. I was involved in the use of pornography, as well as massage parlors and the occasional escort service. One day a friend invited me to Saddleback Church in Southern California, which I began attending on a regular basis, and which I loved. Saddleback had a program that met every Friday night called Celebrate Recovery. As I started attending Celebrate Recovery, the Lord started working in my life. Gradually, I gave up the drinking, drugs and sexual immorality.
One thing I know for sure is that I could not have done it without a support system, without being ministered to by people who were struggling with similar things. God, working through Celebrate Recovery, my support system, and my own personal quiet times of prayer and Bible Study, got me to a place of sexual purity. It wasn't easy; it was, and continues to be a battle. Like we say, it's Every Man's Battle.
How about you? Do you have a support system? Do you have some friends to hold you accountable when you travel? Are you in the Word and talking to God on a daily basis? Perhaps are you a 'lone ranger' in recovery? If you feel that you can do this on your own, that you don't need other people in your life, if you're isolating and not connecting with some type of support group, then it's no accident that you are reading this. God wants you to be in relationship with others, He's wired you that way. If you are "lone rangering" your recovery, I urge you to reach out to a support group, or find an accountability partner. If you need help call 1-800-NEW-LIFE, we can help connect you with a New Life Group

When I had my meltdown in January it became clear I was going to need help dealing with difficult things looming over me. My father's illness for one, my own health issues another, the human condition, personal reflection (I'll be forty soon) and change…the way life changes on us, good or bad…has always been a challenge for me.
Being mindful of the tough road ahead, watching it twist ominously among all the unknowns, gave me reason to pause and decide that practicing self-care is a must.
Some view self-care as a chore, if so then maybe you don't need it so much. For me, it's comfort and, quite frankly, sometimes all I have to keep despair at bay. And the effect is cumulative, in my case at least, and help me withstand or recover from the crush of sadness or the bittersweet reality of growing older.
Since I got back from New York in March I've been working on self-care and one thing that seems to work well is flowers. Very simple flowers, in a (cliché) mason jar vase set on my bedroom dresser so that I can see them first thing when I open my eyes each morning. It's become a weekly thing or maybe not quite that if the flowers last longer.
Not something I would have done for myself before now –
Shouldn't someone else be buying you flowers? Besides they just die, you flower murderer…or in my ex-husband's voice I'd hear: Flowers are a HUGE waste.
But they aren't a waste, not to me.
I'll post a little snap of each new tiny bouquet. Calling them B-Okays, actually.
Whatever works, do that.

|Re: scaling a low latency service with HBase
|Sat, 20 Oct 2012 01:16:22 GMT
What Amandeep said, and also: You said your working set is randomly distributed but, if frequent invalidation isn't a concern and read accesses are still clustered temporally, an in-memory cache out in front of the cluster would smooth over periods when the disks are busy servicing MR workload or whatever else is going on. Another way of separating workloads. Regarding use of SSDs with HBase, this is an area I intend to get direct experience with soon, and will report back findings as they become available.

What is Carbon rom ?
We are dedicated to fast, stable, and feature-filled roms, honesty and communication with our users, and openness with our code. We like frequent builds, with the very latest and greatest hardware support and fixes. We strive to not only provide you with the best rom we can build, but also to give back to the Android community and our fellow developers. For us, this is about creating something we can be proud of and hope you will enjoy.
Please feel free to look at, build, and use our code on CarbonDev GitHub.
We would like to thank CyanogenMod for their device trees, framework/settings mods and their code that was incorporated into this project. We also extend our gratitude to the devs whose code that we have incorporated. Proper authorship has been maintained and can be viewed on our repository.
Special thanks also go to Slim Rom for some of their features, PA, AOKP, and anyone else we may have borrowed commits from that hasn't been mentioned here. If you feel you have been unfairly left out, please - let us know.
While we make every effort to test these builds as much as possible, we are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device, family, pets, or perception of reality. We ask that you do your part to know your device and know how to recover from problems before you flash! If you have questions, ask your fellow users or ask us in #teamcarbon on freenode IRC.
Carbon Updates:
Join us on these Social Media Channels to keep yourself up-to-date on all the latest Carbon news, updates, contests, and more! Join our completely open Google+ community for insider conversation with devs and other users!
Who is Team Carbon?
Our next goal is to put together a build machine, and we need your help. Why do we need a server? Well, a few reasons. The first is the most obvious - we'd like to build more frequently and need the hardware to support it. That means drive space and speed. The more of each we have, the more we can say "hey let's crank out a build," and throw it up on goo so you see an update in goomanager. Right now, building is a pretty intensive all-day process. The second reason is stability. Building from a development machine means that the environment itself is less stable. This translates into, again, fewer builds and more work to make them. Faster building means we can build for more devices, too. All this free time means we can do more cool stuff. We've got a lot of great ideas coming, and every bit of time we can get to work on them means a better rom for you. If you've enjoyed Carbon, please consider a donation toward this goal. Thank you, and we hope you continue to enjoy Carbon!

All great points and tips.
I use a large cheap flannel backed tablecloth as a design wall and a basting wall. I push pin it to my wall.
Then I can pin my backing and batting spraying as I go. I pin backing top and bottom so it doesn't wrinkle up if I have to smooth batting. Too much to get into but I had to find a way because I can't get on the floor anymore. Cheers y'all !

Yes, US air dominance is coming to an end. But it is not because of J-20, PAK FA or lack of funding. It is because of profound mismanagement of resources and lack of clear understanding of what works and what does not, what is important and what is not.
Stealth is seen as a proof of US technological superiority which allegedly secures its unparalleled advantage in the air. But original stealth fighter was not low-RCS, hugely-expensive construct; it was meant to be very small, very agile aircraft that would hunt down enemy air defenses by using air-to-ground anti-radiation missile. Concept of stealth as it is today was developed in Russia, and, having been brought to US by Russian emigrants during the Cold War, it was adopted by United States and became latest obsession of technologists in the USAF. But it came at the cost: all stealth aircraft produced in United States have suffered major cost overruns and force reductions, with possible exception of F-117.
Many US conservatives want "strong defense", by which they mean lots of highly expensive weapons. Following arguments are usually made: Read the rest of this entry »
