Kisaki Beach is near the town of MIYAZAKI. its on Kyushu the southern big island of Japan. Once you`ve reached Miyazaki Station you can get a map of the touristy things to do and it's on there as the surfing beach. Shows a small map and you catch a train to a station called Undo-Koen and walk towards the beach and you're there. Choose your spot. If you cant find it ask at the tourist information spot at Miyazaki Train Station. I'd say that's your safest bet til you know where you're going.

few people??? - don't believe the no crowd rating! this place is packed all day everyday. LOTS of beginners so not that hard to score a few. pretty average waves for the most part. river at the left of beach had better waves.

At least get the names right! - As an old Miyazaki local I think you should at least get the names right. The station for this beachbreak is Undokoen (Undo=sports, koen= park) and yep, it's the sports park. In early summer you can go and catch a baseball game here with the Tokyo Giants who use it as their prep camp for the season. The actual walk from the station is pretty far (over a mile) and that is a long way on a hot summer day. I know as I've done it! Better to stick your thumb out. The locals are pretty friendly and you'll be unlucky if you don't get a ride to the beach. You might even score some cool friends. I met some of my best friends there via this route (big up to Masa, Hiro, Shaka and co!). The beach itself is very fickle and always crowded (I've seen a crowd sitting out in front of the toilets here even when it was as flat as millpond!). When the typhoon season comes round the break is full of detritus washed down from the mountains (logs, leaves, dead animals) and can get pretty rippy and has a heavy shorebreak. In one year they had over ten people drown at this beach so watch yourself.

Containing the Crisis: A History of Mass Incarceration and Rebellion in the Rustbelt
A text from Michigan Abolition and Prisoner Solidarity. "To understand the 2016 Kinross Rebellion, and to build a stronger movement of resistance to state violence, we must look at the history of the rise of mass incarceration in the Rustbelt region and analyze the specific reasons for this growth of State control and repression."

Editorial: Science laureates can inspire future Nobel Prize winners
Americans cheered by Wednesday's news that Yale professor James Rothman and two other U.S.-based scientists won this year's Nobel Prize in chemistry should nonetheless worry about the future of the country's global scientific pre-eminence.
Elementary students get less time for science than they did 20 years ago, and the average science literacy score of 15-year-olds remains stuck in the middle of the pack for developed countries.
Changing that will take a concerted push to renew the status of science in American culture and education. A new proposal in Congress is on the right track.
In May, Reps. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., and Lamar Smith, R-Texas, introduced a bill establishing as many as three U.S. science laureates. The laureates would be recommended by the National Academy of Sciences and appointed by the president, and act as ambassadors for their profession — traveling the country talking about the importance of science and encouraging students to follow in their footsteps.
The imperative to remind Americans why science matters is partly practical: The U.S. produces too few graduates in science, engineering and related fields, so persuading more young people to choose those areas is important for the economy. Future scientists are the ultimate job creators.
U.S. voters also need public figures who can translate policy debates about science, on everything from childhood vaccines and genetically modified food to stem-cell research, evolution and, yes, climate change.
They deserve public figures who understand the implications of federal research cuts. After all, the public ultimately funds most of that research, and it also pays the price — through innovations not created and cures not found — when that funding is reduced.
At the same time, science is not and should not be only about economics or policy. It also endeavors to answer the great questions of our time. How did the universe begin, and how will it change? What is it made of, and are we alone in it? Can we map the brain, or return sight to the blind? How can robots improve our lives? Science is the stuff of wonder, and science laureates can help share that excitement.
There's reason to believe Congress will embrace this idea. It requires no new spending (the National Academy of Sciences would support the laureates' administrative needs). As chairman of the House Science Committee, Smith is in a good position to push the bill forward, and it has bipartisan support in the Senate.
That doesn't mean there aren't hurdles. Last month, the House leadership canceled a vote on the science laureates after the American Conservative Union warned that President Barack Obama would appoint people who "share his view that science should serve political ends, on such issues as climate change and regulation of greenhouse gases." Smith says he plans to mark up the bill in committee this fall, then give the House another chance to vote on it.
The ACU's objection only underlines the importance of the legislation, by demonstrating the degree to which the climate-change debate has politicized science policy. Science laureates are a good way to help fix that — reminding the U.S. about the possibilities and wonder of science, and pushing to make sure more U.S. kids want to practice it.

Reliable sensing of movement, breathing rate and heart rate
Within the BedSense project a newly developed, extremely sensitive pressure sensor is placed under the mattress to monitor even the smallest change in pressure. This contactless bed sensor is used to detect:
- Presence,
- Movements
- Breathing rate
- Heart rate reliably
The bed sensor is placed under the mattress
Benefit of placing the sensor under the mattress is that the existing mattress can be used and that users, also after months of use, do not feel the sensor at all.
Clinical partnerships
Raw information is stored in high-resolution on SD-card. At the moment the functional prototype is validated at Kempenhaeghe, the leading sleep centre in the Netherlands for sleep disorders and epilepsy. BedSense bed sensor measurements are compared to the golden standard: the Kempenhaeghe polysomnography system.
Smart Algorithms
These measurements will help to refine the various signal processing algorithms for automatic feature extraction for specific diseases and patient groups.
Application areas – home monitoring of OSA, COPD & sleep disorders
Current focus is on three use cases: effectiveness of sleep interventions in the home environment (like OSA), sleep quality for Parkinson patients and epilepsy detection.
Key features
- Accurate & medically validated sleep monitoring.
- Contactless, placed under the mattress
- Presence, movements, breathing, heart rate
- Medical research, clinical and home applications
This project was made possible by a contribution from the European Regional Development Fund as part of OP-Zuid. For more information see EFRO.
BedSense system
The BedSense system exists of the following components:
- BedSense datalogger, functions:
- Store measurements of upto 3 sensors in raw format for later signal analysis
- Live data-feed in Matlab for real-time testing of features (via USB interface)
- 1-3 BedSense contactless bedsensor's
- Accessories:
- Power supply (5V)
- Micro SD card + adapter card
- External sync: TTL, 3.5mm jack cable
- Remote control: start/stop recordings and check recording status when the BedSense system is placed under a hospital bed.
Technical specifications
- Sensing
- Sensors: 1 to 3 sensors
- Sampling Rate: 100 Hz
- Sampling Rate Drift: 0.021% / ºC
- ADC Resolution: 24 bit (20bit effective)
- External synchronization
- Sync Pulse: K x 0.5 seconds with K=1-144
- Sync Amplitude: 0 volt (off) – 3 volt (on)
- Sync Frequency: 10 minutes (first pulse; K=1 at t=0 sec)
- Sync Interface: 3.5mm mono jack plug
- Power: 5V power adapter and internal battery powered (upto 10 hours)
- Recordings: max 100 files
- Storage: 32Gb micro SD card
Data output
Stored data files can be exported to BDF format with the supplied BDF convertor. BDF is the 24-bits version of the EDF file. BDF files can be viewed with multiple (open source) software packages like EDFBrowser. The BDF file contains 3 data signals per each connected sensor channel XX:
- ChXX: 24 bit sensor data
- ChXX_Syncpulse: Sensor synchronization pulses
- ChXX_Temperature: Sensor temperature (updated every 0.5sec)
So when all 3 sensors were connected, the BDF file holds 9 signals in total.
Current status
122 complete night recordings have been made at Kempenhaeghe which are currently analyzed and used for creation of new algorithms. BedSense is available as a research evaluation prototype for detailed monitoring of people and patients. Besides additional technical and medical research we are investigating the possibilities for embedding the technology into existing and new applications. Date: 06-03-2018

- Misdialed call
"Wrong number" redirects here. For other uses, see Wrong number (disambiguation).
A misdialed call or wrong number is a telephone call to an incorrect telephone number. This may occur because the number has been physically misdialed, the number is simply incorrect, or because the area code or ownership of the number has changed. In North America, toll-free numbers are a frequent source of wrong numbers because they often have a history of prior ownership.[1]
The recipient of a wrong number is usually unknown to the caller. This aspect has been used in social science experiments designed to study the willingness of people to help strangers, and the extent to which this is affected by characteristics such as race. This experimental method is known as the "wrong-number technique".[2]
On a landline, wrong numbers are harmless to the recipient other than the annoyance of answering an unwanted call. But on a cellphone, if the plan charges minutes on incoming calls, a wrong number may cost the subscriber one or more minutes.
Sources of misdialed calls are similar to sources of typographical error:
- Pressing one or more wrong keys on the keypad of the phone (example 2379 rather than 2349)
- Pressing a key on the dialpad more times than appears in succession in the phone number, thereby completing the length of the number prior to completing the intended number (example 7522-7 with the final 7 being ignored rather than 7527)
- Getting the digits in the phone number out of order (example 3416 rather than 3146)
Proper telephone etiquette requires that the wrongly dialed party politely inform the caller of that fact, and also that the caller apologize rather than simply hanging up. Often the two parties will confirm whether or not the intended number is indeed the number that was reached (e.g. "Is this 555-0184?") before ending the call. It is widely considered "dangerous" for the called party to disclose their phone number — rather it is considered more prudent to require the calling party to state which number he dialed and for the called party to simply confirm whether or not that is his number. The reason for this perception is unclear.

In order to find the motivation to practice authentically, you need to listen to teachings, study them and reflect on their meaning. These days, with our busy lives and students who are spread out all over the world, this can be quite a challenge. So I have worked with some of my students to create a place on-line so that anyone with an internet connection can find guidance and support for their practice. I feel that this sort of endeavor is essential in today's incredibly fast-paced world, so that we always can find inspiration at the touch of a button.
Kyabgön Phakchok Rinpoche
Samye is the namesake of the Dharma activities of Kyabgön Phakchok Rinpoche.
In eighth century Tibet, the tantric master Guru Padmasambhava, the Dharma-king Trisong Deutsen and the abbot Śāntarakita established Samye monastery. Guru Padmasambhava's mastery of Buddhist teachings was perfectly complete and thus he is often referred to as a second Buddha. Samye monastery ushered in an era of unparalleled spiritual mastery. The timeless wisdom that was first promulgated by Padmasambhava passed from master to disciple in an unbroken lineage and this continues to this very day. Along the way untold numbers of students became realized masters of the tradition in their own right and even more found that this ancient wisdom transformed their lives.
Samye became a beacon of wisdom, compassion, and dignity in our world. Thus, for this reason, Samye is the auspicious name of our sangha's Dharma activities. Inspired by the kindness of past masters, we have the idea to share these aspirations in a modern and accessible way through this online platform.
Samye Institute includes both online and live teachings, instruction, retreats, and events derived from authentic Buddhist wisdom traditions. On the online platform individuals seeking answers as to how to live a meaningful life can explore how to work with their minds.
Our aspiration is to offer tools and training to enable practitioners of all levels to practice authentically and confidently. Buddhist practitioners, both newer and long-term students, will find resources here to support their study, reflection, and meditation. Here you may find teachings on working with the emotions and the mind, introduction to meditation, training in compassion, Mahāmudrā meditation, and special practices unique to our tradition.
Samye is a platform for sangha and community building. Here, students from around the globe can gather in forums to discuss their practices. This builds a strong sense of community and teaches us to care for others. In caring for others, we also care for ourselves. Together we build a community.
The seal used by Samye was revealed as a treasure by Orgyen Chokgyur Lingpa in Tibet in the 19th century. It is now used as the emblem for the Chokling New Treasures lineage (Chokling Tersar) as well as all of the Dharma activities of Kyabgön Phakchok Rinpoche and his sangha.
This seal is not a man-made logo — it is Guru Padmasambhava's own personal seal that he concealed as a treasure to be revealed in the future for the benefit of fortunate dharma practitioners.
According to the outer meaning, the vajra that stands in the center is Guru Rinpoche while the two spheres on either side are the two wisdom-disciples, Khandro Yeshe Tsogyal and Lhacham Mandarava.
According to the inner meaning, the vajra in the center represents the primordial wakefulness that is intrinsic to each and every sentient being, while the spheres on either side of the vajra represent the development and completion stages, which are the secret mantra path of realizing one's innate nature.

[twitter]THE BREWERY: Newport Storm, Newport, Rhode Island
It isn't surprising to hear that 4 guys from college came up with an idea to start a brewery. What may be surprising is that these guys are all still great friends and the brewery is still growing after over a decade. Coastal Extreme Brewing (or The Newport Storm Brewery as we are known by many) was the dream of Brent, Derek, Mark, and Will.
THE BEER: Hurricane Amber Ale
This first beer from Newport Storm continues to be one of its most popular. The goal was to create a flavorful ale where delicate malt and hop flavor were in perfect balance. To meet this goal, the brewing crew uses North American crystal malt for color and sweetness, and Munich Malt for body and mouthfeel. The perfect amount of spicy Tettenang hops are added for flavor and aroma which compliment the bittering properties of the Magnum hops to round out this session brew.
TASTING NOTES: via 2013 Craft Beer Advent Calendar
With a lot of toast flavour, which comes from Munich malts, and notes of molasses and tea, which come from crystal malt, this is a rich, wonderful, complex amber ale. Hurricane will blow you away. If you like American amber ales, try Anderson Valley's Boont Amber Ale which is available in western Canada.
MY REVIEW: 3/5 on Untappd

Senators Pledge To Seek Funds for Indian Schools
Washington--Responding to Native American educators who described the deplorable condition of their school buildings, several senators pledged at a hearing last week to work to earmark additional funds to repair and replace Indian schools.
Members of the Senate Select Committee on Indian Affairs noted at the hearing that more than 50 schools--many with antiquated plumbing, heating, and electrical systems and some with severe structural damage or threatened with the loss of accreditation--are in dire need of repair or replacement.
But, the senators complained, the Interior Department's office of construction management is only able to pay for and work on one or two sites a year.
President Bush has requested $9 million in school-construction funds for the Bureau of Indian Affairs for the fiscal year that begins on Oct. 1. Critics have said the money would only be enough to pay for the construction of one school and the completion of another.
In addition, the President has asked for $35 million for repairs and improvements at Indian schools. That compares with Secretary of the Interior Manuel Lujan's $56-million request for such projects, said David Matheson, director of Interior's construction office.
In contrast, an Interior spokesman said a total of $550 million in construction, repair, and improvement needs have been identified.
Arguing that more money is needed now, Senator Dennis DeConcini, Democrat of Arizona, said a number of schools are "so old, neglected, and unsafe that they impede the educational process."
Without committing himself, Senator Thad Cochran, Republican of Mississippi, said additional construction funds for Indian schools could be included in an upcoming supplemental-spending bill that will provide money for Kurdish refugees.
The senators' concerns were underscored by an afternoon of testimony from tribal leaders and educators from some of the schools most in need of repair and construction.
Also at last week's hearing, James R. Richards, the Interior Department's Inspector General, disclosed that the department lacks an accountability mechanism to ensure that school-construction projects are completed.
That finding was among several included in a draft report on Indian-school construction detailed at the hearing by Mr. Richards.
The report, dated April 11, concluded that thousands of students, teachers, and other employees live and work in unsafe and unsanitary school buildings and dormitories.
Moreover, these "life threatening" conditions go unrepaired for a number of years, despite the fact that officials in the construction-management office and the bureau know about them, Harold Bloom, the de-
partment's assistant inspector general for audits, states in a letter accompanying the draft.
The problem, Mr. Bloom and Mr. Richards say, is that no one within the bureau or the construction-management office, either in Washington or in the field, is held accountable for, as Mr. Bloom says in his letter, "correcting identified health and safety deficiencies and systemic breakdowns within their areas of responsibility."
The report also notes that a 1990 task force assigned to study the condition of bia schools said the management of such facilities is a "tripartite nightmare."
The management has not defined areas of responsibility and accountability, tolerates poor standards, fails to discipline employees, and does not show "that anyone cared enough to correct the problem," the report cites the task force as saying.
The report says the condition of facilities at Many Farms (Ariz.) High School illustrates a number of typical problems of bureau-run schools.
According to the report: The bureau has "already demolished a classroom building because of foundation settlement, which had also caused large cracks in the walls of two other buildings. The boys' dormitory would be considered uninhabitable under current health codes. The dormitory roof leaked, windows were broken or missing, and light fixtures did not work. Restrooms were dirty and unsanitary, with corroded toilets that did not work, mildewed shower stalls, and the total absence of any sanitary supplies such as soap, towels, or toilet paper."
Mr. Richards testified that the details contained in the report about the conditions at Many Farms had not changed since a similar audit in June 1987.
Numerous tribal leaders and Indian educators described problems similar to those at Many Farms, including one school where the plumbing system is so poor that drinking water needs to be brought in in bottles.
The leaders and educators also said the bureau's system of annually ranking projects most in need of construction assistance should be revised.
The problem, several leaders testified, is that a school ranked fourth on the priority list one fiscal year, for instance, will likely not get funding that year, and then may be bumped down several spaces during the next fiscal year, depending on who applies for assistance.
Some leaders suggested a freeze on the list until all priority projects are completed.
To expedite the construction process, several leaders suggested that the construction of schools and facilities be contracted out to the tribes or to private companies.
"We're ready to take it on," said Marshall Plummer, vice president of the Navajo Nation, Window Rock, Ariz.
Karen J. Funk of the National Indian Education Association said she was pleased that the committee held a hearing on the state of Indian school facilities.
"I don't ever recall a hearing on school construction before," she said, "and it appears that we're getting some positive interest from Congress."

NatWest has bowed to growing industry pressure by lifting restrictions on buy-to-let landlords renting to tenants in receipt of housing benefit.
In October, NatWest's lending practices came under attack after the bank told one landlord that she would either have to evict her tenant of two years or take her mortgage business elsewhere, after a blanket ban by the bank on benefit claimants.
The bank's own buy-to-let eligibility criteria noted: "We will not consider multiple tenancies, Homes of Multiple Occupancy, bedsits, DSS tenants or 'Related Person' tenancies."
The landlord, Helena McAleer, who let out a home in Northern Ireland, refused to evict her tenant, a vulnerable older woman who always paid the £400-a-month rent on time for more than two years, after being denied a remortgage by NatWest and instead moved her loan to another provider. She launched a petition that has attracted more than 5,200 signatures supporting an end to such discrimination.
The Residential Landlords Association (RLA) has since raised serious concerns that the majority of buy-to-let lenders are preventing landlords renting property to some of the 'most vulnerable in society'.
The RLA has been lobbying the government to tackle discrimination against benefit claimants by mortgage providers after research late last year by the landlords association found two-thirds - 66% - of lenders representing 90% of the buy-to-let market refuse a loan where a tenant is on housing benefit.
The Work and Pensions Committee has now written to a number of mortgage lenders about potential DSS discrimination clauses in their lending policies.
Ian McLaughlin, managing director of Home Buying & Ownership at NatWest, said: "I am pleased that we are introducing these changes and extending our policy to support smaller landlords in this segment of the market.
"We would like to thank Shelter and the Residential Landlord's Association for their thoughtful and thorough contributions to the review, to help us better understand the market in this area and bring our policies in line with those in our commercial segment."
Natwest has also extended the maximum length of time of assured shorthold tenancy from 12 to 36 months, which allows landlords to offer tenants the security of longer tenancies.
John Stewart, policy manager for the RLA, commented: "We warmly welcome today's announcement from NatWest.
"Around 20% of all private sector tenants are in receipt of benefits and we need to do all we can to support them to find the homes they need.
"NatWest's decision will make it easier for landlords to rent to benefit claimants, and agree long term tenancies where suitable. We urge other lenders to follow this lead."

SILVER SPRING, Md. -- FDA advisors will tackle the safety of codeine use in children under 18 years in a meeting Thursday, addressing concerns that the drug's benefits may not outweigh its risks -- ever.
The Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs (PADC) and Drug Safety and Risk Management committees will meet on Thursday to "discuss the available safety data with codeine use in children for cough or analgesia and to obtain input on whether the use of codeine in children should be restricted further beyond the current Contraindication and whether codeine should be available as an antitussive through the OTC Drug Monograph," according to the FDA's briefing documents.
The documents emphasized that "the FDA has made a determination about the efficacy of these products, the efficacy of codeine for analgesia and cough will not be addressed... The focus of the meeting is safety."
Codeine sulfate is available as a single agent, but is frequently combined with acetaminophen to treat "mild to moderately severe pain." Single-ingredient codeine has not been approved for children under age 18. However, combination codeine-acetaminophen products are available for use by children as young as 2-years-old.
Codeine is also used to soothe coughing and is an ingredient in some prescription products for cough, cold, and upper respiratory allergies. Lastly, codeine is sold over the counter (OTC) via the Drug Monograph for Cold, Cough, Allergy, Bronchodilator, and Antiasthmatic Drug Products.
Codeine's activity depends on a certain enzyme pathway in the liver that partially converts the drug into morphine, its strongest analgesic metabolite.
Notably, this CYP2D6 pathway works differently in different people due to genetic variability. Poor metabolizers -- those with reduced CYP2D6 activity -- may respond only weakly to the drug or receive no therapeutic benefit. But ultrarapid metabolizers can produce high concentrations of morphine in the blood, which can lead to serious adverse events including death.
Most people are "extensive" or normal metabolizers. However, the "prevalence of this CYP2D6 phenotype [the ultrametabolizer] varies widely and has been estimated at 0.5 to 1% in Chinese and Japanese, 0.5 to 1% in Hispanics, 1 to 10% in Caucasians, 3% in African Americans, and 16 to 28% in North Africans, Ethiopians, and Arabs," according to FDA documents.
The variable responses of codeine, a drug first approved in 1950, has raised concerns around its safety in children over the last decade.
In 2007, the agency revised prescription labels for codeine to include information about the "variable metabolism" of the drug and the possibility of respiratory depression, especially in babies whose mothers are both nursing and taking codeine.
In 2012, the FDA released a Drug Safety Communication detailing reports of three deaths and one case of severe respiratory depression in children, ages 2 to 5 years, who had used codeine after a tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy, or both.
"Since these children already had underlying breathing problems, they may have been particularly sensitive to the breathing difficulties that can result when codeine is converted in the body to high levels of morphine," the FDA said.
A 2013 New England Journal of Medicine article detailed the FDA's thorough review of the medical literature and case reports of adverse events from the agency's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from 1969 to May 2012. The inquiry brought to light 13 cases of respiratory depression -- including 10 deaths -- all linked to codeine use. All of the children were under 9-years-old and most had had an adenotonsillectomy or a respiratory tract infection.
That same year, the agency added a boxed warning and contraindication for the codeine's use that read: "WARNING: DEATH RELATED TO ULTRA-RAPID METABOLISM OF CODEINE TO MORPHINE; Respiratory depression and death have occurred in children who received codeine following tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy and had evidence of being ultra-rapid metabolizers of codeine due to a CYP2D6 polymorphism."
Overseas, after a 2013 review of products containing codeine used in pain management, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) found that products "should only be indicated in children above 12 years of age and contraindicated in pediatric patients below 18 years of age undergoing tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome as well as in women during breast-feeding and in patients known to be CYP2D6 ultra-rapid metabolisers."
And following a similar review of codeine as an antitussive, the EMA contraindicated the drug's use in children under 12 and recommended the drug not be used for individuals 12-18 with breathing problems.

Course Overview
General Networking and Security Course
The course offers a hands-on learning experience with an emphasis on General Networking. The main objective of this course is to provide you with a basic understanding of computer network technologies and concepts. You will learn how to apply all these skills in real-world situations.
We are going to learn about:
A firewall is a software program, it is a piece of hardware that helps to screen out hackers, viruses, and worms that try to reach our computer over the Internet. If you are unable to start Windows Firewall or you are getting an error, use our free tool to diagnose and fix problems.
So let's understand what a router is, a router is a device that forwards data packets along the networks. So generally a router is connected to at least two networks. The 2 networks may be commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP's network. The places where two or more networks connect those are the gateways where the routers are connected.
Routers use headers and forwarding tables to define the best path for furthering the packets, and also routers use protocols such as ICMP to communicate with each other and configure the best route between any two hosts.
The way a Router works is the following:
It analyzes the data being sent over a network. Then it changes the way how it is packaged. Further, it is sent to another network, or over a different type of network. So basically routers connect your business to the outside world. They also protect your information from security threats, and can even decide which computers get priority over others.
Some of the important topics that you will learn in this general networking course are:
- Introduction to Computer Network
- Types of Network
- Interconnections and Switches
- Routers
- Logical Diagrams

It is possible that, as I lie on my deathbed in 70 years' time, surrounded by my loved ones, my Pulitzers, my Oscars, my Nobels, with various heads of state sobbing in the corridor outside while my personal biographers lean in closer to catch my final words, I won't be looking back with too much fondness on how I spent the night of 11 October 2011. It is possible that I'll have entirely forgotten how I spent that night by the end of today, and it will be but another pocket of wasted time falling into the bucket of my life.
But that's not to say it didn't have its redeeming moments! As you might have guessed by now, I spent the night of 11 October 2011 watching the latest Republican primary. Oh, what japes! Did I say "japes"? Sorry, I meant tedious craziness. But somewhere around the 95-minute point, as I collapsed, crying, drooling and panting on the floor, a thought occurred to me. A eureka moment, if you will. While one of these heartless mouth breathers will – unbelievably – end up as the Republican candidate for the presidency, the others won't. Sheesh, as though the jobless figures are bad enough in this country.
As they were all sitting round what Charlie Rose kept reminding viewers with baffling pride in his voice was a big round table, I kept thinking that this looked like the opening credits of a sitcom. OK, I was specifically thinking of the opening credits to Roseanne when the camera swoops around Dan and Roseanne's table, but we can expand this out.
And so, to help them, to help whoever isn't the president in 15 months' time, and most of all, to help me find some meaning in how I spent that night, here is a guide to which sitcom characters all the GOP characters should become when, I mean if, their bids for presidency fail.
Jon Huntsman
Now, I'm going to start with Mr Huntsman because, while I'm not saying bacon will fly to the moon before he becomes president, I am saying that in a recent Washington Post-Bloomberg poll 319 adults were asked about their thoughts on the GOP candidates and none said they would like to see a President Huntsman. Literally none. As in: not one. Jesus, even Santorum got one vote, and it's hard to see how he would even fit in being president, what with his busy schedule of thinking about gay sex.
Anyway, Huntsman is a good-looking guy. He looks, in fact, so much like the actor Christopher Macdonald, who will always be Thelma's husband in Thelma & Louise to me so that every time I see him I am overcome with an urge to run away in a car and shag Brad Pitt.
In the debates, Huntsman – possibly because there's no chance he will ever get anywhere in this race – has shown that he's a dab hand with the wacka-wacka one liner, teasing (a very unamused) Herman Cain about pizza here, jabbing Mitt Romney about their shared Mormonism there. So what have we got? Bland good looks, innocuous jokes. The answer is obvious.
Huntsman's future career: the dad on Full House, once played by Bob Saget
Newt Gingrich
The funny thing about ol' Newt is that the less chance he has of winning, the more likeable he becomes. Maybe this is because somewhere between him becoming a national laughing stock and his entire staff quitting his campaign he got his head out of his ass and started having a bit of fun. But what next for our Newt, who has had such a full career of doing things like pushing for Bill Clinton's impeachment while he himself was having an affair and generally being a hypocritical ass. But now he's being all world-weary and "Look, you guys are acorns and I'm an oak" and "Hey, I remember when Reagan didn't look like a socialist to all of you" - and it's quite fun! Nonetheless, I'm afraid the fact that Gingrich looks like a human Lego person with a big square head is an insurmountable hurdle, and the fact is he's an angry fool who says kerr-azy things, imagines all sorts of conspiracies and has an inflated view of his own self-importance.
Future career: the Old Man in Seinfeld
Ron Paul
I like Ron Paul. I don't want him to be president or anything, of course, but I do like him. True, he comes across as a lot more sensible than his son, but that's like saying he seems less hot than hell. Unfortunately, Ron did not to himself many favours in the debate last night. That bit when he muttered – muttered! - that he'd got some possibly random fact about Herman Cain off the internet, thereby allowing Cain to patronise him for the next five hours about how not everything on the internet is true, there, there. Poor Ron has had to fight off enough ageist condescension already in this race. The last thing he needs is to leave himself open to more from the likes of Pizza the Hut.
I don't want to add to the horrible ageism poor Paul has had to endure, but seeing as Paul is the wise elder surrounded by a bunch of (relative) spring chickens, and he's also known for his love of handbags (maybe), I'm afraid the sitcom parallel is unavoidable.
Sitcom character: Sophia in The Golden Girls
Michele Bachmann
Man, Michele just comes into her own during these debates, doesn't she? Last night she seemed to say that Herman Cain was the devil and makes devil eyes of her own at the other candidates. Suddenly that Newsweek cover didn't look so unfair, did it?
Let's be honest, we all know that Michele resides on the fringes of reality here, which is why her sitcom parallel is so obvious. She's irritating, she interrupts, she's needy, she never shuts up and she comes out with just the craziest crap you've ever heard in your life.
Sitcom character: Roseanne's mother
Rick Santorum
Oh God, do we really have to think about Santorum? Honestly, just the image of his face makes the fertile parts of my body dry out to dust. And you know, I don't think he'd take that as an insult, being all anti-sex, or whatever he is. Honestly, does anyone out there know a single gay man who thinks about gay sex as much as Santorum? OK, don't answer that.
So Richie Rich showed himself to be just as bonkers about foreign policy as he is about homosexuality when he announced he would declare war on China. He managed to come across as even creepier, dumber and more pointless than heretofore thought possible. Ergo …
Sitcom character: Newman from Seinfeld
Rick Perry
Poor old Rick. He's kinda getting Rick-rolled, isn't he? At first he seemed so promising, with his Deep South homespun wisdom and his talk of how things are down done in Texas Texas Texas. Hey! Has he mentioned he's from Texas? Like, in the past five seconds?
But after last night's debate, I think we all know who his sitcom character is.
Sitcom character: Woody from Cheers , especially when Fraiser was coaching him to run for president
Herman Cain
I couldn't take Herman seriously before and, whaddyaknow, I can't take him seriously now. What was with all that 9-9-9 stuff last night? Is he actually sponsored by the number nine, Sesame Street-style? I thought he was funny before, being the CEO of a pizza chain I have never – in all my years of being a pizza-eating American – seen in my life. Now I think he's just a fool who has become the media's go-to man when they need someone to say what the name of Perry's hunting lodge once was (he's black, you can hear the Fox folk cry! So it's OK from him!) and is just the latest indication how desperate the Republicans are to have anyone other than Romney run.
Well, too bad, GOP, you're stuck with the Mormon now, and I don't mean Jon Huntsman.
Sitcom character: Michael Scott from The Office
Mitt Romney
Oh Mitt! So handsome! So rich! So personality-free! So totally the GOP equivalent of John Kerry! Ah, how lovely.
What can we say about Mitt that hasn't already been said: he's rich, he's bland, he changes his position when the wind blows and he's just there. All those things were known knowns before the debate, and they remain known knowns now. If Huntsman is a cheesy dad from a 1980s sitcom, Mitt is a boring dad from a 1950s one, who gives his son a stern talking to from his armchair at the end of each episode, clutching the stem of his pipe. And that is why his sitcom character is similarly obvious:

Stockton Graham & Co. launched nitro cold brew coffee in Raleigh on May 22 to rave reviews during the four-day local celebration of good taste called The Raleigh Food & Wine Festival. On June 10, we will launch our nitro solution nationally at Coffee Fest Dallas. Drop by Coffee Fest booth #917 to speak to our coffee experts and sample the brew.
At the Raleigh Food & Wine Festival, customers lined up three-deep to taste our refreshing, sweet brew, which was featured in partnership with Café Helios. For the un-initiated, nitro coffee is cold brewed coffee that is infused with nitrogen gas. The gas transforms the cold coffee into a creamy, fizzy non-alcoholic beer-esque drink that can be enjoyed anytime of the day or night.
The Business Case for Nitro Cold Brew Coffee
Offering nitro coffee is a slam dunk for an independent coffee shop, restaurant or bar, according to Thom Swain, Director of Southeast Sales for Stockton Graham & Co. Both the Specialty Coffee Association of America expo in April and the National Restaurant Association show in May featured nitro coffee prominently and booths offering nitro coffee were packed.
It's no wonder. There hasn't been a alcohol-free beverage option in recent history that hit the sweet spot in terms of demand, profitability and ease of implementation. Here's a break down of the business case for nitro cold brew coffee:
Profits: Roughly $1 in costs, which include coffee and nitrogen gas, can create a 12oz beverage that can sell at $4-$5. That's a 400% profit.
Implementation: Simple nitro systems are readily available at craft beer supply and home brew supply stores. A basic system will cost roughly $1000, and will break even at 250 servings. Many independent shops are reporting sales of 5-10 gallons (or 50-100 servings) of nitro a day.
Differentiation: Nitro is a product that is becoming known to more customers but that is still generally difficult to find. "Shops that develop a nitro program now will be ahead of the curve, positioning yourselves as a destination for nitro even before the product becomes more available," said Thom Swain.
Demand: Nitro appeals specifically to millennials, who according to a 2016 survey by TD Ameritrade, spend more money on out-of-house coffee than any other demographic. "Offering nitro will shore up this demographic and have this coveted demographic in your store morning, noon and night," Thom said.
Our Nitro Cold Brew Coffee Recommendation
Through our research we have found that consumers in the 18-35 age group grew up on soda and have an affinity for the sharp, fruity flavor of phosphoric acid that gives soda its "pop."
With that in mind, we recommend using East African coffees tapped with beer gas. This summer, we are recommending our Tanzania Peaberry that features juicy citrus and berry flavors. The nitrogen brings out a cane sugar sweetness that's reminiscent of good southern-style sweet tea.
For a crisper and more fruity brew, you might try our Ethiopia Limmu. This limited-edition, natural-process, single-origin coffee provides a clean, sweet mouth feel and pops with the flavors of strawberry, raspberry and rose hips.
Both Tanzania Peaberry and Ethiopia Limmu are roasted to order at our Raleigh NC coffee roasting facilities.
When it comes to preparing and serving nitro cold brew coffee, a variety of systems are available. You may opt for a custom-made jockey boxes like the one we prepared for Café Helios at the Raleigh Food & Wine Festival. There are also relatively inexpensive countertop coolers and more elaborate full kegerator beer tap systems. Either of these options are available at places like Home Depot, home brew stores and restaurant supply stores. The team at Stockton Graham & Co. can discuss options based on your business concept and traffic and provide step-by-step guidance on brewing, gassing and serving nitro coffee.
If you are in Dallas for Coffee Fest, stop by our booth #917 to meet the team to sample our Nitro Cold Brew Coffee or call us at 800 835 5943.

Fancy Green Beans
"A green bean dish is a must for any festive holiday meal. My jazzylicious version is easy to prepare and looks beautiful when served. The slight crunch of the green beans is complimented by the pleasing texture of the sesame seeds, making a perfect side dish for a seasonal party or any weeknight meal." -- Laura Theodore
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- 2 teaspoons vegan margarine
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- Sea salt (optional)
- Freshly ground pepper
- Steam the green beans until crisp-tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the margarine. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Toss gently until the green beans are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Southwest watchdog exposes illegal reporting before launch
CHENGDU, SICHUAN, December 6 — The new Southwest Environmental Protection Supervision Centre has exposed illegal reporting activity even before its official launch today, reports the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA).
On November 6 the Luzhou Power Plant, Sichuan Province, leaked nearly 17 tons (15.2 tonnes) of diesel oil into the Yangtze River, China's longest, after a diesel oil storage device broke during a debugging operation, said SEPA. But the power plant reported that only 0.38 tons of diesel oil had leaked into the Yangtze. It was thanks to the supervision of the new southwest centre, said SEPA, that the false report was discovered.
Gou Faquan, deputy general engineer of Chuannan Power Generating Company, and Cheng Zhongfei, deputy head in charge of boilers, have both since been sacked for lax supervision, said the Sichuan Environmental Protection Administration. The board of directors of the company was instructed to give the general manager, Shi Xun, a formal warning. The company was also fined RMB200,000 yuan (US$25,600)
The oil slick moved down the river to neighboring regions because the company's underestimated the volume of oil involved and this hampered de-pollution activities, said the Sichuan administration.
The launch of the southwest centre demonstrated the government's determination to reinforce regional environmental protection supervision, said SEPA deputy chief Zhang Lijun.
The centre will monitor southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces and the Tibet Autonomous Region.
The area covers nearly 2.4 million square kilometers (593 million acres), accounting for about a quarter of the country's total land area, and is home to around one-sixth of the country's population.
Centre Director Ma Ning said at the opening ceremony that the centre had a difficult task ahead as the southwest region had more state-level nature reserves and borders than the eastern, southern, northwestern and northeastern parts of the country.
Southwest China has 49 state-level nature reserves.
Within the region 44% of the country's hydropower resources originate from the upper reaches of major waterways such as the Yangtze and Pearl Rivers. It also has the country's major grouping of alpine lakes.
In addition the area has a concentration of metallurgical, chemical, energy and mining industries.
In July this year the government agreed to set up five environmental protection supervision centres in the eastern, southern, northwestern, southwestern and northeastern regions.
The southwest centre is the second to begin operations following the opening of the northwest centre in Xi'an, capital of northwest Shaanxi Province, on October 25.
Nationwide the discharge of waste materials and environment-related paroxysmal incidents is high. Opening of the five centres was aimed at dealing with the problem, SEPA's Zhang said. The centers will supervise local government implementation of state policies and regulations on environmental protection, how they handle major cases of environmental pollution and their emergency measures to respond to environment-related major paroxysmal incidents, he said.

Forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi fired a Scud missile for the first time in the country's civil war, a U.S. defence official said, after rebel advances left the Libyan leader isolated in his capital.
Rebels fighting to end Gaddafi's 41-year rule seized two strategic towns near Tripoli over the past two days, cutting the city off from its supply lines and leaving the Libyan leader with a dwindling set of options if he is to stay in power.
The Scud missile was fired on Sunday morning from a location about 50 miles (80 km) east of Sirte, Gaddafi's home town, and landed east of the coastal oil town of Brega where rebels are fighting for control, the U.S. official said.
The missile came down in the desert, injuring no one, said the official, who was speaking on condition of anonymity. There was no immediate comment from the government in Tripoli.
Firing the missile, which poses little military threat because it is so inaccurate, is evidence of the Gaddafi administration's desperation, said Shashank Joshi, Associate Fellow at Britain's Royal United Services Institute.
"It's an obvious sign that the regime's back is to the wall," he said.
In the six months of fighting up to now, Gaddafi's forces have been using short-range Grad rockets but have not before deployed Scud missiles, which have an estimated range of about 185 miles (300 km).
In the rebel headquarters in the eastern city of Benghazi, officials said the Scud firing was a sign Gaddafi would do anything to protect his power.
"Gaddafi troops are using his last gun. He's crazy," said Mohammad Zawawi, media director for rebel forces. "We're scared he'll use chemicals. That's why we're trying to end this war and we hope to end it with the least number of casualties."
"We can't prevent the scuds but we hope NATO can. NATO has the technology to detect them."
Analysts say the rebels' strategy now is to isolate the capital and hope the government will collapse, but they say it is possible too that Gaddafi will opt to stage a last-ditch fight for the capital.
In a barely audible telephone call to state television in the early hours of Monday morning, Gaddafi called on his followers to liberate Libya from rebels and their NATO supporters.
"Get ready for the fight ... The blood of martyrs is fuel for the battlefield," he said.
"Rebel push"
He was speaking as rebels made their most dramatic advances in months of fighting, shifting the momentum in a conflict that had been largely static and was testing the patience of NATO powers anxious for a swift outcome.
Rebel forces in the Western Mountains south of Tripoli surged forward at the weekend to enter Zawiyah. The town is about 50 km (30 miles) west of Tripoli and, crucially, straddles the main highway linking the capital to Tunisia.
A day later, rebels said they had captured the town of Garyan, which controls the highway leading south from Tripoli and linking it to Sabha, a Gaddafi stronghold deep in the desert.
"Gaddafi has been isolated. He has been cut off from the outside world," a rebel spokesman from the Western Mountains, called Abdulrahman, told Reuters by telephone.
Early on Tuesday, rebels on the outskirts of Zawiyah said forces loyal to Gaddafi were still on the eastern edge of the town, from where they have been attacking with mortars, Grad rockets and sniper fire.
Medical workers at one of the town's hospitals told a Reuters reporter that 20 people, a mixture of rebel fighters and civilians, were killed on Monday, and the death toll for Tuesday had already reached one.
"Talks in Tunisia"
Officials in Tripoli deny Zawiyah is under rebel control, but government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim acknowledged on state television that rebel fighters were in Garyan.
"There are still armed gangs inside the city. We are able to drive them out," he said.
A U.N. envoy arrived in neighbouring Tunisia, where sources say rebels and representatives of the government have been holed up on the island resort of Djerba for negotiations.
The envoy, Abdel Elah al-Khatib, told Reuters he would meet "Libyan personalities residing in Tunisia".
Gaddafi's spokesman denied Tripoli was in talks about the leader's departure, saying reports of such negotiations were the product of a "media war" being waged against Libya.
Talks could signal the endgame of a civil war that has drawn in the NATO alliance and emerged as one of the bloodiest confrontations in the wave of unrest sweeping the Arab world.
Rebels may still lack the manpower for an all-out assault on Tripoli, but are hoping their encirclement of the capital will bring down Gaddafi's government or inspire an uprising. In the past, however, they have frequently failed to hold gains, and a fightback by Gaddafi troops could yet force them back.
Pro-Gaddafi residents of the capital remain defiant.
Makhjoub Muftah, a school teacher who has signed up as a gun-toting pro-Gaddafi volunteer, like many others seemed to think a rebel advance into Tripoli was a remote possibility.
"I wish they would march into Tripoli. I wish," he said, daring the rebels. "They will all die."
