The USDA is offering food safety tips for summer and the Fourth of July. Food poisoning increases in the summer months for several reasons. About 48,000,000 people contract some type of food poisoning every year in the United States.
Deputy Under Secretary for Food Safety Al Almanza said, "Because foodborne bacteria thrive and multiply more quickly in warmer temperatures, foodborne illness can spike during the summer. This is likely because pope are spending more time outside – away from the sink and equipment in the kitchen that help consumers keep food safe."
To avoid food poisoning, you should follow several steps. Without refrigeration, no perishable item should be left out of the fridge for more than two hours if the air temperature is less than 90°F, and for just one hour if it's 90°F or warmer. If you aren't sure how long the food has been sitting out, throw it away.
And remember that coolers, even packed full of ice, can't cool food down to a safe temperature. In addition, bacteria can produce toxins that can make you sick that aren't destroyed by heat. So cooking food that has been sitting out too long won't protect you.
Always keep cold food cold. The temperature of a perishable item such as raw beef or uncooked chicken should never go above 40°F. It's a good idea to pack an appliance thermometer in your cooler to make sure that the temp inside doesn't get above 40°F.
Hot food should be kept hot, at 140°F or above. If you need to reheat food, make sure it reaches 165°F and test that temperature with a reliable food thermometer.
Always use a food thermometer to make sure that the beef, chicken, seafood, pork, and egg dishes are cooked to a safe final internal temperature. Use the USDA's "Is it Done Yet?" guide. You can't tell if meat is safely cooked by its appearance.
If you are going to marinate meat before grilling it, keep it in the fridge. Don't marinate on the kitchen counter. And if you want to use the marinade as a sauce, boil it first to kill pathogens.
Be wary of cross-contamination. Cooked food should never be placed on a platter that held the uncooked product. Prepare fruits and veggies on different cutting boards than the ones you use for meats and poultry. And always wash your hands well with soap and water before you start cooking.
Have a happy and safe Fourth of July!

Album Review: The House by PorchesPosted by Bianca on Friday Jan 19, 2018 Under Album Review
Album Review by Chloe Gynne
Aaron Maine's Porches started working on 'The House' shortly after 2016's 'Pool' was released- and it does, indeed, sound like a continuation of themes; this collection of songs expands on what we've heard before from the New York artist, treading naturally into unexplored territory.
The on-trend, minimal electropop of their breakthrough album remains; openers 'Leave The House' and 'Find Me' both rest on a 90s club beat, not exactly complementing Maine's disaffected vocals, but instead amplifying them, at once both jarring and unique.
Somewhere in the middle of the album, the mood twists. Modern ballad 'By My Side' centres on the lyrics, "I will call you by your name/If you call me by mine", a downbeat twist on Oscar-worthy movie 'Call Me By Your Name's sentiment. As Maine sings, "I believe our love is true," synths pulse desperately in the background, begging the words to life.
It's as if Maine has revealed too much of himself in this moment; autotune takes focus for the next few tracks, as if to conceal the truth behind the lyrics. He blends himself into the cold musical landscape of 'Anymore', but a sense of nostalgia still looms large over the track. Maine reminisces further on 'Goodbye' and 'W Longing', feelings of loss laid out atop these two songs, that could easily slot into an 80s teen movie, all angst and keyboard.
Maine himself said that writing 'The House' was "an exercise in documenting my immediate experiences," but equally "an excuse to avoid my immediate surroundings." 'Ono' is a reflection of that complexity: an undoubtedly cool electronic pop song, with a sad side.
As with the rest of the album, it's on the right side of experimental- familiar but new. Yet despite its escapist instrumentalism, it can't run from the emotion flowing between tracks; all conveyed in chronological order, slipping back into present as the album fades into ambient noise.
Again running on opposites, this album blends a musical maturity with an acknowledgement of personal naiveté that is refreshing for the genre. It is unapologetically true and, most crucially, compelling to listen to.
The House – released 19th January 2018

Based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, Ondrives is a leading manufacturer of precision gears, gearboxes and mechanical drive components.
With a long established history, the company prides itself on staying at the forefront of precision manufacturing by investing in state-of-the-art equipment.
What was needed?
One of the company's air compressors had suffered bearing failure and was on its way out, and a dryer had also broken down. There were also plans to move the air compressors to a different part of the building.
"We'd upgraded our equipment and had more machines, so we needed more capacity – we had a suspicion we were teetering on the edge," says Managing Director, Andy Higgs.
What we did?
The first step was for Simm to data log the existing machinery to record current energy use. Following the results, the company's two ageing 18kW air compressors were replaced with one new Atlas Copco GA30VSD air compressor.
Simm also installed extra air purification with an Atlas Copco QDT95 carbon tower and DD & PD130+ line filters. For future peace of mind, Ondrives also put the air compressor on an Atlas Copco extended warranty ComfortAIR agreement.
Why Simm?
Ondrives already had a strong ongoing relationship with Simm going back to 2012 and had a service agreement in place.
Key Benefits
The new machinery brought a total potential energy saving of £3,875.00 per annum. But even beyond the cost and environmental savings, Ondrives rates customer service as a key factor in the decision to use Simm rather than another company.
"Every supplier says they can save me money by putting in new machinery, but if it isn't done efficiently and in the right time scale it can end up costing more in the end," says Andy Higgs.
"As we are running high-volume manufacturing equipment, if a compressor isn't working we have to stop manufacturing, which costs money. So service and reliability are the main priorities."

Ethical quandry
to edit, or not to edit ?
in Film , Saturday, May 21, 2011
I recently spent some time on the Eolian Islands, out of season, avoiding the (extreme) heat and the tourists. While I was there I visited one of my favourite locations, the main crater of Vulcano, a couple of times.
I was to find that since my last visit, the crater floor had been adorned by some "urban art" in the form of stones spelling out various declarations.
I don't really want to start a rant about this. Some people will find it unacceptable, to the point of wanting the perpetrators skinned alive (and they'll likely as not have British or German passports), others will just take it as part of the scenery, others will find it amusing. The question is, should I include it in my photograph ? Certainly the last I time I visited, it wasn't there, or at least if it was I didn't notice, so it wasn't in my pre-conceived photo either.
So should I edit it out ? It's not a very challenging task in Photoshop CS3. Possibly even less so in CS5. But is it "cheating" or "wrong" ? It is after all a fairly major part of the scene, and there's a very long tradition of graffiti in the Mediterranean area. Pompeii, for example, has plenty. So in fact it could be considered to augment the interest.
To start off with, I didn't think too much of it. I'd decided right from the outset that first I was going to edit it out, and second, most probably, it was going to be converted to black and white. Like this:
Apart from any ethical issues, am I actually playing it safe and traditional here, and churning out yet another boring, bland photo with nothing to say for itself ? Justified, worthwhile edit - or lost opportunity ?
I'm really not so sure…

FWIW, the crater of Mt Fuji - which is, after all, a sacred site, being the inner sanctuary of the Sengen Goddess Shrine - is covered in graffiti. Not spray paint, of course, but folk's names spelled out in white pebbles. Quite tatty, but definitely part of the scene. I think they should stay in the picture. FWIW, of course ....

From your holiday villa in Santa Maria del Cami, you can enjoy day trips in the village, exploring buildings that date back to the 17th century.

It is very unlikely for scabies to cause joint pain. However, infections or allergies to scabies medication can definitely be one of the main causes for joint pain.
Joint pain refers to the discomfort, soreness and aches in any of the body's joints. Arthritis is the common cause of joint pain, however it can also be caused due to some kind of infection, injury, illness or as a result of an allergic reaction to some medication.
Scabies on the other hand is a contagious skin disease that is caused by the tiny skin mite. And although, scabies mites can produce angry rashes and intense feeling of itchiness, it is very unlikely for them to cause joint pain.
Symptoms of Scabies Are More Likely To Occur
- Outer surface of elbows and armpits
- Between the fingers and inner portions of wrists
- Around the waistline

Scabies causes a lot of discomfort and uneasiness to the bearer, but it is unlikely cause of joint pain. Unfortunately, certain treatments prescribed for scabies do cause pain in the joints as a common side effect.
Scabies medications containing strong doses of Permethrin and Ivermectin, effectively cure scabies, but these also produce certain undesirable side effects, such as headaches, irritation and joint pain. In worst cases Permethrin can even lead to cancer.
Sulfur, on the other hand, if used in limited doses, is the safest treatment for scabies that produces little no to side effects.

Requiem for the American Dream: The Principles of Concentrated Weath and Power
Author(s): Noam Chomsky
Requiem for the American Dream is a work of some 70,000 words based on four years of interviews with Noam Chomsky on the subject of income equality. Chomsky considers these to be his final, long-form documentary interviews. It is a book that makes Chomsky's breadth and depth accessible, and at the same gives us his most powerful political ideas with unprecedented, directness. It will go down as one of his greatest and most lasting contributions. To be released in tandem with the film of the same name that was recently released in selected cinemas to rave reviews.
Product Information
"Noam Chomsky in Requiem for the American Dream directs the fierce light of his intellect on the utopia ideology of neoliberalism, the absurd idea that markets should dictate all aspects of human society. He dissects the disastrous consequences of this ideology for our society, culture and politics. He explains how corporations indoctrinated the public, academia and the mass media to sign on for a project that has devastated the lives of working men and women and obliterated the common good. Every promise made by the proponents of neoliberalism is a lie. It is a tool to carry out the largest transfer of wealth upwards in American history while imposing wage and benefit reductions and impoverishing workers. It destroys democratic institutions. It uses trade agreements to carry out tax boycotts and run sweatshops overseas. It breeds proto-fascist movements at home and abroad. Its power to write its own laws and regulations, Chomsky points out, has ultimately created a mafia economic system and a mafia political system that is exemplified in the rise to power of the demagogue Donald Trump." --Chris Hedges, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and author of Wages of Rebellion: The Moral Imperative of Revolt
NOAM CHOMSKY was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on December 7, 1928. He studied linguistics, mathematics, and philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1955 he received his PhD from the University of Pennsylvania. Chomsky has taught at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he is currently Institute Professor (Emeritus) in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy, for the past 50 years. His work is widely credited with having revolutionized the field of modern linguistics. Chomsky is the author of numerous best-selling political works, which have been translated into scores of languages worldwide. Among his most recent books are Hegemony or Survival, Failed States, Hopes and Prospects, and Masters of Mankind. Haymarket Books recently released twelve of his classic works in new editions. His latest books are What Kind of Creatures Are We? and Who Rules the World?

Is this even a supported configuration? Right now mine's not working but I haven't given up yet.
I previously had Visual Studio 2005 installed with the Windows Mobile 6 SDK's (both professional and standard) and everything works fine there. Just yesterday installed Visual Studio 2008 and went to look at the Smart Device templates and only the Windows Mobile 5 stuff is there. No problem I figured - maybe just need to re-install the SDK's now that I have VS 2008 so they can be integrated. Did that but still just the Windows Mobile 5 and earlier stuff shows up.
While I'm continuing to research this - hopefully someone else can chime in who's got an answer...
Edit: Did an uninstall of both SDK's, rebooted and re-installed each SDK. Opened VS 2008 and there were my Windows Mobile 6 projects....closed it down and checked VS 2005 and they were there too...so:
1) If you have VS 2005 with the SDK's already installed then uninstall the SDK's, reboot and re-install..Voila - you can then access the Windows Mobile 6 stuff in each version.

Shadow Recovery of Backlight Problem
Have you ever get this kind of problem? Is this problem really annoying you? if your answer is yes and you want to know how to fix this problem, please read my simple tutorial.
Actually there are two main ways in order to get rid of backlight problem. First is avoid this problem and second is fix this problem. Avoid backlight means you need to take photo in good condition, good technical setting, good lighting, etc – and it can be done before you take photo. Many people use reflector and flash to avoid backlight problem – they also use spot metering and increase exposure bias to avoid backlight problem. Fix backlight problem means you have a backlight photo but you try to fix it – many people will delete the photograph because the photo is really unacceptable (except you take shillouete photograph). In this tutorial, I will share my simple way to fix backlight problem – I use photoshop CS4 but you also can do this in other version of photoshop.
How to fix backlight problem:
1. Open a backlight photo.
2. Duplicate photo (Ctrl+J).
3. Click Image->Adjustment->Shadow Highlight.
I set the properties such below: (you must have experience to set the properties, each photo has different number to fix the shadow area and highlight area)
The result after step 3 is like this:
The result still disappointed regarding skin tone and the contrast, but it better than original photo hehe…..
4. Increase contrast – you can do this by level, curve, brightness&contrast, etc – the result is like this: (maybe you can't see much different because I just increase contrast a little)
5. Correcting skin tone:
Change the skin tone by using curve adjustment – modify the RGB channel:
Apply masking so only the skin will be fixed by the curve:
The detail how to correct the skin tone can be seen in my previous tutorial (the idea just like step 4 ).
I think the result from step 5 is good except the background and the object have different saturation – the background colors are very dull so we will fix this in the next step.
6. Correcting environment tone.
I use hue saturation adjustment to correct this problem – for this photo I increase the saturation by +40, the result is like this:
What a terrible result !? – oops we forget to add masking for hue saturation adjustment. After we create masking for this adjustment, the result is like this:
7. Fix contrast and white balance to mix the object and the environment – about correcting white balance you can refer my previous tutorial. The result is like this:
8. Finalizing the photo – sharpening and noise reduction (about sharpening you can see the basic idea in my previous tutorial). The final result is like this:
Here it is before and after:
I hope after you read this tutorial, you learn how to fix backlight photo. If you read my tutorial and get stuck with some steps that means you need to read my other tutorials. I don't like to write (again) something that I have written before. Anyway if you have questions, critiques, or suggestion don't hesitate to write it out – I always open for your feedback. Thanks for visiting this website – if you have time you can see my other works (wedding and pre-wedding) here.
Anyway I have written other tutorial similar with this one in 2013 (new one and better than this one, I think), you can read here.

PREVIEW: VISIT Xiu Xiu's Myspace
WE GIVE IT: 16/20 Watts
The unique thing about Xiu Xiu's sound is just how damaged it feels. Not damaged in the sense of recording quality, but rather damaged in the emotional, even spiritual feeling of their songs. With Xiu Xiu, nothing is ever safe or stable. One could say that the group sounds like how post-traumatic stress disorder feels.
From their self-deprecating lyrics to the haunting moan of Jamie Stewart's vocals, all of the tracks on Xiu Xiu's latest release, Dear God, I Hate Myself evoke the sensation of a person who is desperately trying to hold himself together, only to inevitably collapse back in on himself for the hundredth time.
The first four tracks of the album all possess driving, steady house beats overlaid with dissonant sound textures. Coupled with the group's vocal hysteria, these elements blend together to suggest that such openers are a clownish parody of modern dance music. On "Chocolate Makes You Happy," the lyrics speak of bulimia, ignorance and hyper-sexuality alongside a faux-uplifting melody that all the minor chords in the world could not come close to matching the true misery of.
The next section of the album brings the energy level down for more solemnly avant-garde ballads like "Hyunhye's Theme." While they explore tamer dynamic ranges, even the calmest tracks remain punctuated with tortured screams of various string instruments in misuse. Following the album's surprisingly poppy titular song, the tempo picks back up for the schizophrenic synths of "Secret Motel," which could be described partially as Dan Deacon minus the cheer. Then, for a moment of comic relief, the band covers American folk song "Cumberland Gap," taking an intermission from the album's bizarro despair to showcase a minute and a half of lighthearted bluegrass dabbling. The album finishes with "Impossible Feeling," a coup-de-tat of rhythmic frenzy that leaves the listener with one hauntingly ambiguous message. "Cover your face/in the shroud of impossible feeling."
Xiu Xiu never surrenders to any kind of genuine normalcy. Their songs are always tales of unhappiness attempting to sell themselves as happiness, insanity attempting to masquerade as sanity or other impossible binaries. On both the sonic and lyrical levels, Xiu Xiu's latest work speaks of a hysterical, incurable sense of contradiction. And yet, there is still a beauty in the way Xiu Xiu remains impeccably precise in creating songs that are essentially manically flawed tributes to human imprecision.

This piece of outrageous skill is well worth £12million.
Shane Long made the switch from Hull to Southampton earlier this month with many querying the size of the fee.
The Republic of Ireland international may have only netted four goals in his half-season for the Tigers but if he keeps wowing the crowd like this then he might well prove well worth it.
During Saints' Capital One Cup win over Millwall the 27-year-old executed this lovely no-look dummy pass much to the delight of the travelling support at the Den.
Long didn't get on the scoresheet against the Lions but it mattered not as his new side cruised into the next round thanks to goals from Jack Cork and Graziano Pelle.

The Smart Optical Fabric & Devices research lab designs the future of optical communications to meet future demands of applications that have not yet been invented. We push the state-of-the-art in optical and electrical communications in physics, materials science, math, software and optics to create new networks that adapt to changing conditions and go far beyond today's limitations.
Future smart network fabric
We can approach the theoretical maximum information transfer rates, as defined as the Shannon Limit, discovered in 1948 by Claude Shannon, Bell Labs pioneer and "father of information theory". An essential enabler for optimal transmission is a smart network fabric. Our research in this area includes:
- Superchannels – the combination of multiple optical carriers forming one higher-capacity channel, overcoming bandwidth limitation of today's electronics and optoelectronics.
- Software defined transponders – the utilization of programmable digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and analog-to-digital converter (ADC) technology and coherent receivers to enable flexible high speed transport systems utilizing high-order Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) to adapt transmission capacity.
- Rate adaptivity – the ability to trade capacity for transmission reach and spectral efficiency, traditionally implemented by changing modulation formats from BPSK, QPSK to n-QAM.
Operating optical systems close to the Shannon limit
An elegant approach for n-QAM based optical systems is to change the probability of occurrence of constellation points in a fixed constellation, or Probabilistic Constellation Shaping (PCS), which modifies the probability with which constellation points – the alphabet of the transmission – are used. Traditionally, all constellation points are used with the same frequency. PCS cleverly uses constellation points with high amplitude less frequently than those with lesser amplitude to transmit signals that are more resilient to noise and other impairments. Reducing the probability of occurrence of outer constellation points e.g. in a 64-QAM constellation from the typically equal probable case will reduce the transmission rate with an arbitrary fine granularity with almost no changes to the signal processing.
Probabilistic Constellation Shaping has been a focus of research activities in this area, driven mainly by Bell Labs. PCS in optical transport systems achieves higher transmission capacity over a given channel to improve significantly the spectral efficiency of optical communications. With proper selection of the probability distribution of the constellation points we are able to operate closer to the Shannon limit in comparison to traditional unshaped constellations. For instance using a shaped 64-QAM at the same rate as a conventional 16-QAM constellation will yield an 1 dB SNR improvement, which is equivalent to a reach increase of about 25%.
Beyond state-of-the-art optical line rates
We investigate solutions for very high optical channels using a single optical carrier with beyond state-of-the-art systems of 100-200 Gbit/s. We look at very high-speed electronic multiplexers or converters and also at the synthesis of high speed electrical modulation signals by concatenating multiple DAC outputs.
In the latter approach, we achieved PAM signal generation at 190 GBaud symbol rates with an all electronic 100-GHz Bandwidth Digital-to-Analog Converter. We also demonstrated the first all-electronically time division multiplexed (ETDM) transponder with a line rate exceeding 1Tb/s (90 GBaud PDM 64-QAM), using a novel 3-bit multiplexing DAC circuit. And using recent electronic converter technology we demonstrated a record single-channel line rate for electronically multiplexed signals, 1.2-Tbit/s polarization-multiplexed coherent transmission experiment over 300 km of fiber.
Spatial optical multiplexing
With classical optical technologies like DWDM, coherent optical transport systems using higher-order of QAM modulation single fibre systems with petabit/s capacity over large transmission distances cannot be realized. We are looking at optical transmission of parallel channels in a few-mode and multi-mode fibre or over multi-core fibre so that we can realize a scalable solution when the entire spectral domains of classical single-mode fibers and of optical amplifiers are exhausted. Our recent research has been focused on investigation of parallel optical transport schemes either by using several modes of few-mode or multimode fibres and also with of multi-core fibres which exhibit more or less coupling between the core.
Different approaches to spatial optical multiplexing: parallel transmission over over multi-core fibres (left) or few-mode optical fibres (right). Optical multiplexing and demultiplexing can be performed by optical devices (optical lanterns based or phase-plates Fan-In/Fan-Out device). MIMO processing can be utilized for crosstalk cancellation.
We are researching optical multiplexing and demultiplexing components, optical multi-core amplifier and parallel fibre transmission to achieve transmission with multi-peta-bit capacity. As an example we have accomplished 138 Tbit/s transmission over 6 spatial modes, 2 polarizations, and 120 wavelength channels carrying 16-QAM signals, over 650 km few-mode fiber, using low insertion and mode-dependent loss mode-selective photonic lanterns.
New datacenter communication architectures
Centralized data centers (DC) emerged in the 2010s as the most important switching and processing centers for applications in enterprise and social communications. We expect future applications, including 'Industry 4.0', telemedicine, and autonomous transport to rely on much faster data processing, with far higher data volumes than today's applications, and ultra-low latency needs. This future Edge Cloud will need a smart network fabric supporting high capacity and low latency.
Our datacenter research addresses flexible adaptive network architectures, efficient interconnection of distributed small DCs by new flexible optical transport systems, flexible adaptive data transport and efficient usage of fiber infrastructure which is commonly known as data-center-interconnect (DCI).
Edge Cloud comprising several small DCs and guaranteeing low latence connections for residential, automotive and industrial applications.

Drinks place: Cassette nineWednesday, March 16, 2016
A trip down the memory lane. When Cassette Nine first opened, it was one of the coolest places to go as uni students, to hang out with a few cocktail shots from its famous teapots and dance all night long. M and I would head out on Tuesday nights on more than several occasions, and dance to indie tunes with that lesbian chick, no assignments or tests worries allowed. It's definitely not the same place any more, and no longer has the same appeals as to our younger selves. Still, ah, the memories.

Umm, so what ever happened to Jurassic Park? Is it still being worked on, did it get cancelled, does anybody still even have the files to it or the original CryEngine mod. Its just seems wrong for that much work to go to waste especially after seeing all the work done in the various trailers.
Oh hello <3 ;)
Thanks for those comments.
Hi, can u pm me the link to this tutorial?
"Looks like you are using that Digital Tutors tutorial, oh lol yes you are I can see the quicktime video. Not that using it is bad it is a very detailed tutorial that is great for anyone with 3DS Max. Keep up the good work. " - u said that on Revolutionary Zombie Game mod for Crysis
dude, u have an ungodly amount of ppl watching you mod! how do u stay on top of all of it! like as far as replying to comments? idk how u do it, but keep up the good work! your, or maybe i should say your guy's mod is really turning out awesome! just waiting for a new update..... ;)
Thanks, the update is coming :).
Jurassic Park was canceled
Added ^^
Its fine, I mostly work on JP now though. Right now though im finishing off the forklift :) Soon its ready for textures ;)
Sweet, I can't wait to see it, would you be willing to show the finished product, well actually the finished product without textures, then with if that isn't to much trouble. Also do you have a facebook account by any chance?
If you give me your msn ill add you ;)

Chiswick Walk - March '11
8 of us met up for a pub lunch in Chiswick, West London followed by a 5 mile circular walk.
As it was Boat Race day one of our members had placed a bet on Oxford to win and so was collecting Oxford flags to show her support
During our walk the tide was out and so not the ideal conditions for the boat race!
We came to Chiswick House and read about the 15million pounds that was spent on restorations.
The stunning Chiswick House and grounds.We stopped for coffee and cakes at the cafe there.

'Fargo' has consistently been one of the best shows on television for the past two seasons, so it's no surprise that we're excited about the third which is due to start at the end of April.
Featured Image VIA
So far, FX have pretty much just drip fed us information on the latest season with a couple of promos that don't really tell us anything but succeed in setting the scene. This latest one is a bit different though as over the course of it we meet a whole bunch of the characters whose lives we're going to be following for the next ten weeks. Of course, it's only 30 seconds long so you don't really get to find out much about any of them, but it's way more than we've received so far. Beggars can't be choosers OK?
So, #Fargo's got some new faces, eh? Meet the cast before the all new story begins April 19 on @FXNetworks. pic.twitter.com/hIPkG9y0Gy
— Fargo (@FargoFX) March 19, 2017
Still can't get over how different Ewan McGregor looks in both of those roles – not just from his regular self, but the two characters look nothing alike, even though they're supposed to be identical twins. Props to the makeup/costume department for that, and I'm fairly sure McGregor will be able to pull off both of the roles exceptionally too. Carrie Coon's North Dakota accent is great too.
Only a month until we finally get to see this. Can't wait, but if you want to check out some other promos for it, then click here. They'll still get you excited.

VANCOUVER - Colette Bourgonje of Saskatoon will receive the Whang Youn Dai Achievement Award at the Paralympic closing ceremony on Sunday, along with Endo Takayuki of Japan.
The award recognizes elite athletes with a disability who have demonstrated an exceptional level of determination to overcome their adversities through sport.
"Colette is competing in her ninth Paralympic Winter Games and continues to embody the Paralympic movement in Canada," Blair McIntosh, Team Canada's chef de mission, said in a release. "In addition to her success in para-Nordic skiing, Colette is a wonderful ambassador for the Canadian Paralympic Committee and a role model for future Paralympians."
Bourgonje has won 10 Paralympic medals in her career, including two so far at the Vancouver Games. She won Canada's first medal of these Games - a silver in the women's 10-km sitting event - and added a bronze in the 5-km sitting race.
Takayuki is the captain of Japan's sledge hockey team and was the team's flagbearer during the opening ceremony.
The athletes were nominated by the chef de missions of the delegations competing at the Games, with the winners were chosen by an independent panel of judges comprised of International Paralympic Committee governing board members.
The athletes will received pure gold medals at the closing ceremony.

Pot Roasted Loin of Pork and the Le Creuset Cast Iron Challenge
Several months ago I was contacted by McArthurGlen (Designer Outlet) and asked if I would like to participate in the Le Creuset Cast Iron Challenge. Of course I jumped at the chance. I just love Le Creuset cookware, and I love a challenge! Win/win!
My gift for participating, a 20cm round Le Creuset Casserole Dish in my favourite colour Cerise! Just call me a happy camper. Beginning May 13th, people will be able to vote for my recipe via this link on the McArthurGlen website! Here is the link! The winner of the challenge will win £250 gift voucher for Le Creuset products, and each vote via twitter will be put into a draw for a £50 gift voucher.
The recipe I have developed for this challenge is Pot Roasted Loin of Pork with a Prune, Apricot and Ginger Stuffing. I have been doing a Prune Stuffed Loin of Pork for years, which is very flavourful, easy to do, and impressive. I have updated it a bit for this challenge.
First of all I decided to remove the rind from the roast. I then butterflied it, which is very easy to do. I give some very precise instructions in the recipe.
I adapted my stuffing to include not only prunes, but dried apricots, some garlic, ginger root and thyme, all of which bring out and enhance the flavour of pork beautifully and add a wonderful moistness. As pork loin is a very lean meat this is important.
I spread the stuffing over the cut surface of the pork and then rolled it up. Not too tightly as you want to leave a bit of room for expansion and you don't want the stuffing to leak out. Then I tied it with bakers twine to hold it all together.
I then created a lovely rub, using powdered ginger, fine sea salt, black pepper and thyme which I rubbed all over the surface of the meat. Don't forget the ends! They benefit from the rub as well.
I place the stuffed and rubbed pork loin on a bed of sliced onion in the casserole dish, added some beef stock, covered it and then roasted it for about half an hour. I then removed the lid and roasted it for a bit longer, about 45 minutes for a two pound pork loin.
The end result was a perfectly cooked pork loin, filled with fabulous flavours, and presenting beautifully . . . you have a ring of succulent, moist pork, long with a beautifully bejewelled ring of delicious fruity stuffing. The drippings were used to make a tasty gravy/sauce to go along with the meat. (Again very easily cooked in the casserole dish. That's what I love about Le Creuset . . . Stove top to oven, and vice versa!)
I served it along with some steamed new potatoes (Jersey Royals are in season now), along with some oven roasted carrots, parsnips, swede and sweet potato. Yumm!!
I think you will agree that this is a meal that would be fit for serving to company. It's so easy to make, and quick to put together, and the best thing about that is the presentation is so beautiful they will think you slaved all day over a hot stove to do it. They don't need to know you didn't. ;-) It can be our little secret.
*Pot Roasted Loin of Pork with a Prune, Apricot and Ginger Stuffing*
Serves 6
Printable Recipe
Delicious loin of pork, butterflied, stuffed with a savory fruited stuffing, rolled and roasted. Tender, delicious and filled with flavor. This is not so hard to do as you would think. Soon to become a family favourite.
Something deliciously different for the Sunday Lunch crowd!
1 (2-pound) boneless pork loin
salt and black pepper
For the Stuffing:
12 dried apricots, chopped
12 dried pitted prunes, chopped
1 tsp of finely chopped fresh ginger root
1 fat clove of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried thyme
For the rub:
1 tsp powdered ginger
1 tsp fine sea salt
1/2 tsp fine black pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 medium onion, peeled and sliced
500g beef stock (about 3 cups)
3 TBS plain flour
pinch ground ginger
125ml milk or white wine (1/2 cup)
The first thing you will have to do is to butterfly the pork. This is very easy to do. Remove any of the string which it has been tied with and discard. Carefully, using a sharp knife, remove any crackling rind and discard. Working very carefully begin cutting through one side of the loin about 1 inch down and working from right to left, almost all the way to the other side, stopping about an inch from that edge. Turn the meat around and cut down about 1 inch and then begin cutting back to the side you started at, again stopping about an inch from the edge. You should now be able to open it up flat. Open it flat and sprinkle it lightly with some salt and pepper.
Combine all of the ingredients together for the stuffing. Spread it out evenly over the cut surface of the meat. Roll it up tightly and then tie it at even intervals with some butchers twine to hold it together. Don't tie it too tightly.
Mix together all of the ingredients for the rub. Rub mixture all over the pork, remembering the ends.
Preheat the oven to 180*C/350*F/ gas mark 4. Have ready a large flameproof casserole dish. Place the sliced onion in the bottom of the casserole. Place the stuffed pork roll on top. Pour the beef stock into the casserole dish. Cover with the lid. Roast in the heated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the cover. Return the casserole to the oven and roast, uncovered for an additional 35 to 40. minutes. The roast should by that time be cooked through and nicely colored. Remove the roast from the pan and set aside on a plate to rest. Cover lightly with foil and keep warm.
Place the casserole on top of the stove and add the white wine. Bring to the boil and boil for about 5 minutes, Reduce to a simmer. Whisk in the flour and ginger, working quickly and whisking constantly to help prevent lumps. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Strain into a gravy boat.
Remove the butchers twine from the pork and cut into slices to serve. Pass the gravy at the table. I like to serve this with some boiled new potatoes and roasted root vegetables. Delicious!

My deep and heartful thanks and gratitude go to ALL members of the Kakapo Recovery Team. I was blessed to have an opportunity to return to Whenua Hou in 2014.I will always treasure the honor of meeting the kakapo, and hopefully, contributing to their futre in some tiny way.
Thank you to Artists for Conservation, who found it fitting to fund an expedition to Whenua Hou, and publish the plight and perils of the Kakapo.
Knowing that in spite of huge odds against them, the Kakapo Recovery Team has dedicated countless hours to saving this unique and irreplaceable parrot of the night. I have never met more hard-working, exhausted, and compassionate people.
Because of heartless and ignorant political machinations, and blundering governmental mis-management, The Department of Conservation in NZ suffered what is know as "restructuring". That translates into a huge budget cut. And because of short-sighted and ignorant politicians, the endangered Kakapo is at huge risk of extinction AGAIN. And NOT from natural causes.
The Kakapo Team has had enormous success and has given hope to a species that was officially declared extinct. But now, the program depends heavily on even fewer staff; and those people are burdened with extra work duties that are not associated with the kakapo; they are exhausted and on the verge of burn-out. The program depends ever more heavily on volunteers.
It is not always fun, or easy, or happy. Very sad things happen. Hard work is washed away. Staff has to leave or is reassigned. Volunteers are over-extended. And the Kakapo are the victims of it all.
The kakapo can be saved. The solution is simple: MONEY. And unless a mega-billionaire steps in, that money will come from the citizens of NZ, and the citizens of the world. You and I are going to have to save this bird. We cannot depend on ANY governemnt.
Help. That is my message to you. Contribute directly to saving the Kakapo. BUY KAKAPO ARTWORK. Donate your time. Follow Sirocco Kakapo and Kakapo Recovery on Facebook and Twitter.
Special thanks to:
Daryl Eason
Deidre Vercoe
Jo Ledington
Karen Arnold
And not last nor least, the many rangers, volunteers, iwi, and local people that support the program.

- By Gary DrevitchJanuary 3, 2013
- By Gary Drevitch
I met Dan during freshman year of high school. He and my closest friend, Dave, had gone to a different junior high than I did in our hometown near Boston. Right about the time Dave introduced us, Dan and I started making sports bets.
Many mornings in homeroom we would gamble quarters on things like who'd be the top scorers in the NBA that night — we were years ahead of fantasy basketball. We also started an annual tradition of placing bets on each and every college football bowl game — now numbering about three dozen each winter — through a draft of teams. Most years, he picked Boston College and Notre Dame. I always tried to lock up Nebraska and Michigan.
(MORE: High School Gym Class PTSD)
Now, more than 25 years later, through college, travel, marriage, kids and, a decade ago, Dave's life-threatening bout of lymphoma, Dan and I continue to call each other every December to place those bets. What started at 50 cents a game became locked in at $5 each years ago. We closely track our results throughout bowl season, but most years we don't get around to paying each other for months. If we don't end up seeing each other in person, we just hold onto the previous season's scoresheet and tack the deficit onto the next year's tally. (Full disclosure: I started this year's games down $20). What it's really all about is that phone call.
Like many married middle-aged men, in sitcoms and in real life, the adults I socialize with most are the parents of my kids' pals, or my wife's close friends who, unlike most of mine, live here in New York City. Dan and I think of each other as close, but I was once close with a number of other friends who I sometimes wish I was still in touch with. But we don't have bowl games to bet on. Our tradition gives Dan and me a reason to connect, at least once a year.
Men tend to tease our wives that, unlike them, we don't "need" to check in with our friends as often as they do. We know we're "good," we say; we don't need to put in the time. But meanwhile, many of our old friendships fade and our new friendships are not exactly what you'd call tight. At a New Year's Day brunch at the home of one of my son's friends, I was surprised to run into a guy who's a regular in an off-and-on poker game I've played in for more than a decade. He was with his wife and 19-month-old daughter. Which is all lovely, except I'd had no idea that he was married or that he had a child.
Why Our Friendships Matter
Research by Geoffrey Grief, author of Buddy System: Understanding Male Friendships (Oxford, 2008), is consistent with my experience. Grief, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Social Work, has found that while women rely on friends to share confidences and offer support, men seek friends who can provide escape. Groups of guys can spend weekends together every year for decades and never bring up the financial, personal or health crises in their lives. Instead, they use those gatherings as a treasured distraction from their concerns — then they share their real problems with their wives or female friends.
(MORE: Fantasy Camps for the Young at Heart)
Circumstances make a difference, too, of course. Men are more likely than women, research shows, to allow geographic distance to interrupt their connections, although sociologists have spotted a trend of men in their late 40s seeking to revive what Grief calls "rusted" friendships.
Eric Klinenberg, author of Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone (Penguin, 2012), recently explained to The Atlantic Wire that people who live alone — he calls them "singletons" – tend to lead more active social lives as they age. "They are more likely than married people," he says, "to spend time with friends and neighbors, more likely to volunteer in civic organizations and more likely to go out at night and spend time in bars, restaurants, cafes and other public places where strangers meet."
We are all social animals and there is increasing evidence that our connections, whether familial, social or professional, are crucial to our long-term health. One study of Australian adults found that, over 10 years, older people with large circles of friends were 22 percent less likely to die than those with smaller support systems. The more friends we can cultivate and maintain, it seems, the better.
And so, on Monday night, I'll be cheering for Alabama to beat Notre Dame in the BCS championship game because I drafted the Crimson Tide this year. Sitting beside me, though, my 12-year-old son, Benjamin, will be cheering for Notre Dame, because he picked the Fighting Irish in a draft with his new friend, Daniel. The boys are in seventh grade and it's their first year of bowl bets. Daniel's a nice kid and I'm pleased that, while he may not realize it now, he's probably going to be Benjamin's friend for life.
No matter Monday's final score, we're both winners.

Sometimes life comes down to a single important question: are you a Cylon or aren't you? Fantasy Flight Games will let you play out that question, and all the backstabbing, paranoiac hijinks sure to follow, with Battlestar Galactica: the Board Game, due for release later this fall.
Each player takes on the role of one of the characters from the series, with the skills, abilities and drawbacks inherent to each character. Players also get a secret loyalty card that reveals whether or not they are truly human. Unrevealed Cylons may be subtly working against the other players. Worse still, players who thought they were human may find out later in the game that they were Cylons all along. The game board depicts the Galactica and nearby space, which may contain Cylon ships or other vessels.
The entire two to three hour game is set up for maximum tension. Not only are you unsure if your allies are truly your allies, but there's the twin impending dooms of Cylon Centurion invasion and dwindling resources. If the human players can navigate the maze of deception, space battles and shipboard intrigue long enough to make the final jump to Kobol, they win. I'm betting on the Cylons. Fantasy Flight has posted pdf version of the rulebook and FAQ already. Images by: Fantasy Flight Games.

Move pcpu KVA out of .bss into dynamically allocated VA at pmap_bootstrap(). This avoids demoting superpage mapping .data/.bss. Also it makes possible to use pmap_qenter() for installation of domain-local pcpu page on NUMA configs.
Remove unecessary VM_ALLOC_ZERO from allocation of the domain-local page for pcpu.
Do not constrain allocations for doublefault, boot, and mce stacks. All these stacks are used only once (doublefault, boot) or very rare (mce).
Refactor pcpu and IST initialization by moving it to helper functions.
[Basically this is my previous patch, rebased on top of Jeff' commit, with unnecessary diffs reduced. I do not like extern struct pcpus declarations spread over sources, and have a plan to fix that after this commit lands]

"Women hold up half the sky" was one of many Chinese proverbs I learned during 1970 years in Hong Kong. Elsie Elliott-Tu (1913 – 2009) went to China as a British missionary and spent her entire adult life in Hong Kong as an elected official in the colonial urban council. Weekly I assisted in her ward office when over 100 needy people would seek legal, medical, personal and housing assistance in the most densely populated place on Earth. May Elsie rest in peace and continue from her place in the reign of God urging others to keep up the endless struggle for peace, justice and care of our planet in peril.
March 4th, 1916, Jeanette Rankin (1880-1973) became the first woman to sit in the US House of Representatives. She voted against WWI, WWII and participated in marches against the Vietnam War while in her eighties. Einstein, a German Jew, was a pacifist who opposed WWI and regretted approval of building the atomic bomb. "Maybe I will be forgiven" was his response upon hearing of the 1945 atomic devastation in Japan. Pacifist examples of Einstein, Rankin and other prophets are dismissed by militarists in government and other institutions. St. Francis de Sales taught us: "There is nothing so strong as gentleness; nothing so gentle as strength." Nuclear weapons were abolished by the unanimous UN vote of July 7, 2017. Our survival depends upon carrying out the abolition desire of 122 nations last year. Countries rejecting that vote are simply "rogue states."
Mothers' day was intended by Juliet Ward-Howe to be a global manifestation of maternal opposition to war. That day has been sadly transformed into a commercial celebration of motherhood and family banquets. Mothers do not bring children into this world for fighting endless wars of our military economy described by five star General Eisenhower as the "military industrial complex" (MIC) when he retired. The MIC in 2018 will consume two billion dollars daily of the USA budget, compared to $1 billion defense budget for the entire year 1945 as WWII ended. April 3, 1948, USA leaders approved the Marshall plan to rebuild a devastated Europe with a mere $14 billion. Our nation is now $21 trillion in debt. One trillion was designated by President Obama to "modernize" nuclear weapons, making suicidal warfare more likely. Unless we all oppose them.
This month we might ask which institutions, civil or religious still ban female participation as leaders? Would Catholic parishes close in days or weeks without women holding up the sky? 1000 parishes have closed since '95 for lack of priests.
Compassion is the essence of priesthood. Are women more highly evolved than men in the divine gift of compassion? Women stayed till the end as Jesus "gave forth His spirit."

The other day I spied a high Republican official walking on the street and called out his name. He stopped, hit his smile app, and exclaimed how glad he was to see me.
"What are you going to do about Trump?" I asked. He paused and then uttered the dreaded word: unity. "We have to have unity," he said.
I got his message. He's selling out. In the coming weeks, Republicans everywhere will be seeking unity by embracing their presumptive nominee, Donald Trump. They will be ignoring his utter lack of qualifications for the presidency, his harebrained schemes for controlling migration, his knack for insulting billions people at a time (Muslims, women, the disabled), his gaudy womanizing past, his lying, his exaggerating, his enthusiasm for torture, and his ingenious view of the Constitution as a lease that can be broken.
That paragraph, politically lethal if I were writing about someone else, encapsulates precisely why Trump is so hard to stop. He is, among other things, scandal-proof. At the moment, an army of journalists is scouring the land looking for whatever Trump has done that we might not yet know about. Trouble is, there is little that can be revealed. Call him a womanizer, and he shrugs. Say he lies, and he lies by saying he doesn't. Confront him with the truth, as when he insisted on having seen nonexistant Muslim revelry in New Jersey following the September 11th attacks, and he just perseveres, creating his own "truth." He cannot be shamed.
It's trite to liken Trump to a Kardashian, but I shall do so anyway. What they have in common is the determination to outlast our moral or political revulsion. Kim Kardashian hit the big time with a sex tape. Revolting? Yes. But forgotten? Mostly. What lingers is the name.
It is similar with Trump. The shock of his statements — calling Mexican immigrants "rapists," for instance — has worn off. The same with his insult to Megyn Kelly or his mocking of a disabled New York Times reporter. All that is now "old news," blanched of its repellent ugliness by time: Oh, that's just Trump. He'll say anything. He doesn't mean it.
Bit by bit, Trump will accumulate more endorsements. The motley crew that now surrounds him will be supplemented and upgraded by establishment names. They will use the same reasoning that Senator Lindsey Graham did last month when he endorsed Ted Cruz, whom he hates — a higher purpose. In Graham's case, it was to stop Trump. With others, it will be this thing called party unity or, its functional equivalent, stopping Hillary Clinton.
But what is the point of a party that attempts to unify around a candidate such as Trump? What then does the party stand for? Does the GOP endorse anti-Muslim bigotry? Shall the party have a plank about Mexican rapists or the physical attributes of women? If Trump is its nominee, will the party endorse what are certain to be misogynist and personal attacks on Clinton? (Trump's campaign boasts he has the endorsement of Paula Jones and Juanita Broaddrick, both associated with Bill Clinton's sexual rap sheet. This could get ugly.)
Trump's message, we are incessantly told, is that the GOP has double-crossed its constituency with trade, immigration, and just about anything else you can name. But it will do the Republican Party no good to win back the aggrieved at the cost of everyone else — not to mention what is good for the country. A glance at Trump's endorsees — check his web page — is an effective appetite suppressant.
Imagine a Republican National Convention's dais stocked with some of the people who have already endorsed Trump — not just the feckless Chris Christie or the bizarre Sarah Palin, but such figures as the disgraced football player Richie Incognito, Hulk Hogan, and Teresa Giudice from The Real Housewives of New Jersey, a fresh alumna of the federal prison system. A meeting of Trump supporters might have to be sanctioned by a pro wrestling promoter.
When I spotted that Republican official, I did not say what I initially wanted to. I wanted to say that we are taking names — "we" being the American people. We will remember who endorsed a man who took American politics lower than it has ever been, no doubt extracting promises of good behavior that later will be broken. Party unity will not wash. The GOP is going to lose, the only question is how — with some honor, or being deservedly mocked by history?

Aww this was soooo sweet. I can't wait to find a husband 🙁 lol but you two are sooooo adorable and I wish you a lifetime of happiness. Such a beautiful family you have. May God bless you and yours forever and ever.
5 Years ago I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in the world. We've been through the most amazing times together, I wouldn't change a thing. I've watched him grow into the most amazing man, husband and now father. He's my absolute best friend, and when there's been bad times he's been there to help me and support me every step of the way. Everything good, beautiful and pure in my life leads to my husband. He is my happiness. A lot of women now a days are quick to say they don't need a man and they are their own woman. I am here to say that I have my own identity, but I need my husband. He fills the hole in my heart and treats me like a queen. He's my therapist when I need to vent, and my conscience when i'm in a rut. He's my golf partner, my shopping buddy and my meal tester. He's my encourager, my human pillow, but also the reason for my temper tantrums(all the wives know what i'm talking about). He's God fearing, God loving and my companion in worship. He has the patience and compassion of a saint. I sometimes don't understand how he stays so calm in all situations, but I do appreciate it. I love my husband more than words can describe and with each day, each memory, each trial and each laugh my love grows stronger. I am more in love with him today than I was 5 years ago. Today we celebrate 2 years of marriage and a lifetime to look forward to. Happy Anniversary to the most wonderful man in the world. I love you!
