History & Hops featuring Heavy Seas
Heurich House Museum
Thursday, June 20, 2013 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM (EDT)
Event Details
The next session of History & Hops features Heavy Seas Beer from Baltimore, a brewery that produces a wide range of extrARGHdinary beers and is also the country's cask ale leader.
Heavy Seas founder/Maryland brewpub pioneer Hugh Sisson and Brewer Chris Mallon will present their signature Loose Cannon Hop3IPA in a firkin (cask), along with their just released Holy Sheet Uber Abbey Ale, which has been aged in brandy barrels. Other beers on deck will be Small Craft Warning Uber Pils, and Powder Monkey - a British style Pale Ale with a slight American twist in its hop profile.
"With a personal family history as Maryland's first brewpub, to be holding an event at the home of DC's most noted brewer has particular significance and resonance for Heavy Seas. We are thrilled to be part of History & Hops at the Brewmaster's Castle, and hope that everyone will be able to join us in enjoying some great beers while we tip our caps to the Heurich legacy," says Sisson.
Heurich House staff and volunteers will provide tours of the Brewmaster's Castle with a focus on its owner and the history of the historic Chr. Heurich Brewing Co.
History & Hops is a monthly series at the Heurich House Museum, the former Dupont Circle home of D.C.'s most successful brewer Christian Heurich. Every third Thursday from 6:30 to 8:30pm, the museum partners with a local craft brewery for house tours and beer tastings.

Very well said! Blessings on your Restoration ministryReplyDelete
You give us much to think about. This morning, our corporate support group (Hospice workers) came to conclusions that support yours. The changes need to be deeply personal, profoundly prophetic and for our children's sakes systemic.
Jack M.
Carol Bradsen was my teacher from our earliest meetings in my very first class in seminary together. She has articulated here what I and others have only hinted at and once again she has taught me well. Thank you Carol for your prophetic witness from the heart of the violence.ReplyDelete
Beautifully said, that you!ReplyDelete
I appreciate the challenge that violence cannot lead to healing, peace (salvation!). Until we unpack our atonement theologies, many in the Christian tradition will continue to worship violence by insisting that Jesus' brutal execution was divinely ordained and redemptive. If we attribute violence to God and celebrate it (drowning the Egyptian army, demanding the willingness to sacrifice Issac, requiring the slaughter of Jesus to redeem humanity, etc.), then how can we ever hope to be less violent that the One in whose image we are created. When we let our God be one that does't delight in violence, maybe we will find ourselves being a little less violent as well.ReplyDelete

Palms Sportsbook 101
The Palms Las Vegas sportsbook is located on an off-the-Strip property at 4321 West Flamingo Road. It's only about a mile west from all the mega-casinos and best sportsbooks on Las Vegas Boulevard, which is ideal for those looking to get away from all the tourist crowds.
Management at the Palms got it right as far as where the sportsbook is situated on the casino floor.
Unlike many Strip properties that bury their dark rooms at the back of the gaming area like Mandalay Bay, Palms sports betting is easily accessible at the front of the resort by the main entrance.
There's also another set of doors right next to the Palms sportsbook from the main parking lot.
Players must be 21 years of age or older to wager anywhere in Nevada, including on Palms entertainment esports or any other gaming option in Las Vegas.
The Tonic Bar sits by the entrance to the non-smoking room which seats about 200 guests. The picture quality of every TV is fantastic, with LED screens occupying the entire room. Both the sports side and racebook have eight large TVs, which include two giant screens for the main action.
Whatever event is on the jumbo screen is heard overhead in complete surround sound.
There is comfortable desk row seating at the front of the room, each spot with a leather chair and personal television. There are more leather seats and tables behind that section, which is perfect for group settings. The VIP sections for sporting events and horse racing are at the back of the venue, both areas with stylish leather chairs and couches.
Palms sports lines on all the daily sporting events — including the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL — are posted among the big screens on the main wall.
Just like the Cosmopolitan, don't be looking for a cheap drink voucher here at one of the many betting windows. A horse bet of $50 or a sports bet of $200 is required for a complimentary beverage. That's asking a lot for an off-the-Strip resort.
The Palms sportsbook online is powered by CG Technology — just like Red Rock and the Cosmo sportsbooks — and offers a downloadable app to your Android or iOS device.
The Palms online sports betting app offers more betting options than the regular sportsbook, but it's only available for play during your stay in the state of Nevada. Once you leave the state, this app shuts you out of the action.
A better option would be to join the top-ranked online site Bovada, which can be accessed whether you are home or on the road. There are dozens of betting options on this easy-to-use platform, which has been getting rave reviews for years.
Place Your Bets at the Palms
Years ago, the Palms sportsbook was to be a tiny, smoky venue with little reason to visit unless you were desperate to make a bet. Not anymore. This remodeled area easily competes with the big hitters just a mile away on the Strip. Plus, parking is free here.
Here are some of the sports with posted Palms Las Vegas sportsbook odds:
- Pro and college football
- Pro and college basketball
- Major League Baseball, including playoffs and World Series
- Mixed Martial Arts and UFC events
- Major soccer leagues from around the world
- Boxing, but mostly just major bouts
- Hockey, including the playoffs and Stanley Cup
- Auto racing, with weekly race odds and Sprint Cup Championship futures
- Golf, with weekly odds and futures on all four majors
- Tennis, with odds on all four Grand Slam events
Here are some of the bets available at the land-based Palms sportsbook:
- Money line
- Point spread
- Over/under totals
- Halftime lines
- Future betting
- Some proposition bets
The book also features 50 Interactive Player Terminals, plus special events and weekly tournaments, just like other popular sportsbooks off the Strip like the Golden Nugget and Westgate SuperBook.
- Off-the-Strip Location
This three-tower, off-the-Strip hotel is known for its crazy parties, with two large pool areas and numerous clubs. It is located on the south side of Flamingo Road, but west of the main highway and Strip, and faces two other resorts — the Rio and Gold Coast.
Visitors can access all three towers off Flamingo Road through the Palms main entrance. Walkways to all three hotels protect guests from the elements.
Guests arriving at McCarran International Airport approach the Palms from the south on Interstate 15 and exit at Flamingo Road west. The property is less than a mile away on the left-hand side.
There is a free shuttle bus to and from the Strip that transports hotel guests only. The shuttle runs daily every half-hour from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and makes its only stop at the Caesars Forum Shops.
- Free Palms Parking
Unlike the big-name Strip resorts that are charging top dollar for parking, the Palms offers free valet and self-parking in an open-air lot and two different garages. Entrances are located on Hugh Hefner Drive and Flamingo Road.
The three-level garage has access to the Palms from an elevator in the northwest corner. The five-level garage has access to the Palms near Brenden Theatres.
Oversized parking is also available at Palms casino resort.
- Public Transportation to the Palms
Ridesharing programs are the best bet for guests staying at the Palms. You pay for the cost of your ride before pickup, so the length of time for your trip and traffic congestion are not a factor.
Taxis are available everywhere in Las Vegas, but fares soar in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Strip.
Download the rideshare program apps Uber and Lyft. The cost of a ride is about two-thirds of the taxi service. Pick up your rideshare on the second level of the parking garage at the airport.
A taxi fare from the airport to the Palms is around $25-30. There is always a long queue of taxis outside the main terminal.
Multiple limousine providers are available with the going rate averaging $85-90 an hour.
The Las Vegas public transit bus service runs most of the day on the routes 104 and 202, which service residential streets and the Palms. A single fare is $2, while a 24-pass is $5. The rates are more if riders transfer to buses on the Strip.
The airport and Palms are stops on Bus Route 104, but the ride takes about 45 minutes.
- Food & Drinks at the Palms
The Palms has quite the resume when it comes to its nine restaurants and food court. The resort features a 24/7 cafe with a late-night menu and a buffet that serves all three meals as well as brunch for Sundays.
Here are a few of the top restaurants and dining places at the Palms:
Scotch 80 Prime steakhouse, where rare steak meets the rarest whiskies, focuses on stunning tableside presentations.
Experience seafood and sushi with a Latin beat at Shark.
Inspired by nostalgic restaurants of Old Las Vegas, Sara's is set in a luxurious secret room.
The Palms offers much more than bars and lounges:
Located on the 55th floor of the resort, you'll find breathtaking views of the Las Vegas Strip at the ultra-chic Ghost Bar.
Kaos, with its monster of a centerpiece, seamlessly blends from a dayclub into a nightclub.
Rojo Lounge, located in the hotel lobby, has a dress code with high-end food and drinks.
Complimentary drinks are only available to those willing to risk a little cash at a slot machine, table game or sportsbook.
- Palms Boarding Pass
The best bonus of the BoardingPass rewards card that players use at the Palms is the fact it is active for all 20 Station Casino properties.
Cardholders earn points for casino play, horse and sports wagers, and poker. But your points and status credits also pile up on everything you spend money on at any Station resort, including restaurants, bars, concerts, bowling alleys, movie theaters, hotel stays, and spa experiences.
Membership is free to join at any of the Station Casino resorts.
The entry-level status is called Preferred. From there, cardholders climb levels into Gold, Platinum, President, and Chairman. Points are accumulated from January 1 to June 30, and from July 1 through December 31. You keep your status for the remainder of the six months, plus the next six.
The higher levels earn resort and cruise discounts, plus other privileges and free play. These cards are very similar to the rewards cardholders use at casinos on the Strip, like the Flamingo or Lagasse's Stadium at the Palazzo.
- Palms Casino Experience
The 95,000 square-foot casino floor is the focal point of the ground level of the Palms property, but it has a lot of competition.
The gaming area borders the sportsbook and "Skytube to Palms Place" on the west end, while a large group of restaurants and pool area anchor the east side of the floor.
There are more than 1,300 slots machines grouped tightly throughout the room, but the 80 table games are bundled together near the main entrance. There is a small, dark high limit room for slots, which is located at the front of the casino.
The minimums at table games are as low as $5 during the week, but expect the betting minimum to climb as the place fills up on the weekend. Some of the games available to play include:
Blackjack, most tables offered 6-5 odds on a 21.
Roulette, with all wheels containing the standard two sets of zeroes.
Craps, start at $5 minimum with standard rules.
Baccarat, many tables with varying minimums, including a popular virtual baccarat area with 16 stations.
Other table games spotted on the casino floor include: Ultimate Texas Hold'em and Fortune Pai Gow Poker.
Complimentary drink service is decent on the main floor for guests playing the slots, video poker or table games. As always, the frequency of service will depend on the time of day and how the action is on the casino floor.
Party at the Palms
This is Party Central of the Las Vegas Strip.
Whether it's Michael Phelps or Britney Spears, superstars and celebrities seem to love to hang out at the Palms. The main hotel, which opened in November 2001, has 703 rooms and suites with the average room rate around $59 a night. Prices can soar when you book at the more expensive Fantasy Tower or Palms Place.
- Entry-level premier rooms, with king or queen beds, are 408 square feet.
- Resort rooms, with king or queen beds, are 460 square feet.
- Executive rooms are 620 square feet, followed by an array of suites.
- The Fantasy Tower is also home to several nightlife venues including Moon Nightclub and The View.
- Two pool complexes are on the property — one for relaxing, the other for partying.
- Other amenities include a spa, on-site movie theater, and full recording studio, which has been used by such stars as Jay-Z, Madonna, Lady Gaga and Beyonce
- Even the off-the-Strip properties charge resort fees. It's $44 per night at the Palms.

Part of me wanted to get back home to New Orleans and gloat over the fact that we appear to have power while most of the city does not.
But I didn't relish the idea of sitting in traffic with two million other evacuees all trying to get back home at the same time.
So when we got the news yesterday that neither Xy's school nor mine will reopen until Monday, our evacuation turned into an evacucation. We decided to run up to Indiana for a few days and visit family. What the hell, it's only 522 miles from Tuscaloosa, and we have four new tires.
So now we're here. This is the first time I've been back to Indiana since we returned to New Orleans in November of 2005. Thus ends my life's longest absence from the Mystical State.
If you're game, meet us at the Upland Thursday night around 8 PM.

My busy night of the week just became busier! We're eating with my grandma and then I'll be there.

Hey Bart and Christy,
When I heard Gustav was headed to NOLA, I thought I'd check your blog to read the real news about it. Glad to hear the storm wasn't as bad as Katrina. At least it blew you guys up to Bloomington-"back home again in Indiana" as the song goes. I hope to make it to Upland-too bad Persephone isn't 21, I'd like to meet her.
Alice who is still recovering from the disappointment of not meeting Mellencamp during that freezing day in Jan. when you documented his performance on Kirkwood
No can do, wish I could!!
Glad you guys are hanging in there. We're on an evacucation ourselves, at my folks in Florida.
How is the young one doing with all the traveling?
Shoot! Will be there in spirit- would love to meet you all one day 🙂 actually I met XY back in HS at a track meet- she was a hoot. When I started watching J&B on the rox I recognized her as that witty gal I had met one day in HS 🙂
have a nice evacucation- glad to hear your porch light is on.
How did Persephone handle the trek?
Chrissie & Spab: The girl seems to travel well, all things considered, but she's teething. So she's been fussier than usual the last week. Not to mention snottier, and I'm not speaking metaphorically.

Yoo hoo training managers! All set to begin your 2020 training voyage? Good. But before you start your journey, you might want to take a peep at the latest eLearning trends and practices that will add a bit of zing to your upcoming corporate training program. Are you thinking it's going to be the 'same old, same old'? Well… I wouldn't be so sure.
5 eLearning Trends for Corporate Training in 2020
- Rapid eLearning 2.0
- A culture of edutainment
- Customized LMS with learning analytics
- Artificial Intelligence
- Immersive Learning with AR/VR
The last two decades have witnessed a lot of advancements in technology – computers became faster, multimedia became cooler, mobiles have taken over, and lot more. And what is more relevant to us as training managers, online training has gained a firm footing in the corporate world.
According to latest market reports, eLearning is expected to reach $238 billion by 2024. It's no more a technological novelty. You don't need to think twice about offering it, and your employees don't need any handholding while taking eLearning courses. Corporate online training has finally arrived, ready to meet the requirements of an evolving digital workplace.
So, what's new? A lot's new! A few cool trends are all set to make their mark in corporate L&D, let's get to know them.
What to Expect from Corporate L&D in 2020: 5 Online Training Trends
1. Rapid eLearning 2.0
By now, most of you must have heard of this tricky little term 'Rapid eLearning'. But did you know that rapid authoring software and courseware development tools can reduce eLearning design and development time by almost 40%? No wonder rapid eLearning has grown so popular in recent years. So, what does Rapid 2.0 mean?
Download this mini guide on rapid eLearning design.
While authoring tools have certainly proved themselves to be effective, there are many more tech tools in the market now that help in eLearning development, cutting down time as well. Two such tools becoming increasingly popular are Panopto and Amazon Polly.
Panopto is an online platform which enables recording, live streaming, storing, and managing videos within a cloud or through the LMS. Learners can search and fast-forward to specific points in the video to access information instantly. It is equipped with built-in analytics to monitor video activity.
Amazon Polly converts test into lifelike speech. It reduces the hassle of using voiceovers in eLearning courses. The audio quality of Amazon Polly is far superior than any other authoring tool's TTS (text-to-speech) service.
Rapid eLearning 2.0 is not just about tools. It includes many training development practices that help reduce turnaround time and effort. Let's take the case of webinars.
Businesses spend tens of hundreds of hours creating webinars for employee education – working with internal SMEs, external SMEs, trainers, and industry leaders to come up with content. And what happens once the webinar is done? Typically, it is archived and forgotten, never to be used again. But you can repurpose that content. Webinars can be converted to short microlearning modules or interactive PDFs; even the audio-heavy ones can be converted to podcasts.
2. A Culture of Edutainment
Gone are the days of lengthy and mind-numbingly boring eLearning courses which induced sleep instead of engaging employees. Also, gone are the days when employees just nodded their heads and finished training without a complaint. This is the age of the Millennials and Gen Z employees and if you can't engage them at work, you won't be calling them your employees for long.
It is no longer enough for an online training course to be informative; it needs to be engaging as well. The new-gen workforce needs a fine blend of relevant content and an effective instructional strategy in their training – and both content and strategy need to be, first and foremost, learner-centric! And to this blend, you will need to add a pinch of fun. This is what we mean by a 'culture of edutainment'. And there are various ways of achieving it.
- Social learning elements in online training allow learners to interact and form relationships with peers, experts within the company, and industry thought-leaders.
- Game-based designs and gamification are popular eLearning instructional design strategies which bring an element of play into training.
3. Artificial Intelligence in eLearning
Artificial Intelligence – the debates and anticipation for AI in L&D have reached a peak. Articles are being published every day, either heralding AI as the best thing since sliced bread or condemning its arrival because of potential loss of employment. But what does AI automation really mean? Does it mean we are entering a dystopian world? Or is AI more like JARVIS; a super intuitive and human-like assistant?
The answer is no – for both! AI in corporate training is not going to bring about radical life-altering changes, neither is it as advanced as our movies would like us to think. AI in online training will have a two-fold benefit.
In eLearning development, AI will make the process more efficient, error-free, cost-effective, and easy. Let's take the case of eLearning translations. An AI-enabled translation memory tool will automatically translate the given learning content to multiple languages without the need for humans, thus saving time and money. All it will need is data of previous translations fed into its memory.
In training delivery, it is a bit more complicated. We have all heard of adaptive learning and we often confuse it with personalized training. While adaptive learning has personalization at its core, it goes way beyond simply asking learners' names. A fully adaptive learning design will anticipate the individual training requirements of each learner by analyzing their learning activities and provide a customized learning path in real time. This is possible only with the help of an AI-enabled adaptive engine.
4. Customized LMS with Learning Analytics
The popularity of learning analytics in corporate L&D is increasing by leaps and bounds. And how could it not? It is the best way to measure training effectiveness and prove its ROI. But how does learning analytics work?
Simple – through data, analysis, and action. And two out of three of these elements depend on your LMS. The learning management system tracks learning activities, collects data, analyzes it, and reports it. We do know all that.
What is lacking in a traditional LMS is effective analysis of collected data. Though most LMSs have a few analyzing criteria such as completion and passing rates, they don't offer many valuable and actionable insights. This is where the magic of learning analytics comes in. An LMS customized with an analytic engine will analyze collected data much more efficiently, providing descriptive, prescriptive, predictive, and diagnostic reports.
5. Immersive Learning
Human evolutionary history and neuropsychologists stand by the fact that we learn best through experience. While most online training programs strive to make learning experiential in terms of content and strategy, providing an environment which emulates real-life is quite difficult. This is why immersive learning is becoming more and more popular.
Imagine yourself standing within a simulation using augmented or virtual reality, where you can look at and feel your surroundings. Sounds way better than taking a regular eLearning module, right? This is exactly why industry expert Josh Bersin started endorsing the use of AR and VR in training. His once skeptical mind was blown away when he experienced the magic of immersive learning.
While immersive learning can be expensive and requires advanced software expertise to build, its benefits are also far-reaching; especially if the learner's job is risk prone.
Summing it Up!
Aren't you tempted by these trends and eLearning practices that are set to make life more interesting in 2020? You should remember that the trends of today have the potential to become established norms of tomorrow!

Home decor and design trends have become among the most popular pieces of content on the internet today, as homeowners look to spruce up their homes and give the atmosphere they desire. One recent trend that is growing is that of the farmhouse look, which essentially provides the home with an old school and traditional type of decor similar to a barn and the surrounding farm. These pieces can provide the vintage feel you've been looking for.
Key Takeaways:
- Topiaries are the perfect way to infuse pops of green, earthy color into a farmhouse style interior
- To create the perfect rustic, country kitchen interior, try using an exposed wood style design
- Mounted baskets on the wall provide a dual function of adding storage room while also enhancing the farmhouse look
"If you're a fan of rustic accents and a bit of country flavor sprinkled throughout your home, then you're definitely inspired by farmhouse style."

There was more flow than ebb for New Zealand against England in the final Test, though they continued to revive the country's long-suffering fortunes.
Reliable top-order batting, penetrative first-innings bowling and astute captaincy provided sound reasons for optimism heading to England in May.
The opening day was pivotal to momentum. No one could have predicted a score of 250 for 1 at stumps; hence the standing ovation from those pepper-potted within Eden Park's cavernous auditorium. The chance to press for a rare series win was imminent.
Peter Fulton's switch from looking vulnerable outside off stump in Wellington to reaching his maiden Test century in Auckland, was the catalyst in New Zealand's resurgence. After a three-and-a-quarter year hiatus he was a revelation, becoming the fourth New Zealander after Glenn Turner, Geoff Howarth and Andrew Jones to score two centuries in a Test. It was a fine culmination of a summer in which he has been behind just Martin Crowe in 1986-87 (1676 runs at 93.11) on the list for the highest aggregate of first-class runs (1249 at 59.48) in a season.
Fulton employed a simple strategy: caution for anything outside off stump and punishment for anything drifting towards his pads. He scored 162 (66%) of his 246 runs on the leg side. The likelihood of greener pitches at Lord's and Headingley will present a sterner test, but Fulton's methodical, undemonstrative approach earned respect from a public craving cricketing folk heroes.
Fulton and Kane Williamson's 181-run second-wicket partnership highlighted a strength of the series. Until the mini-collapse in the second innings, the No. 4, Ross Taylor, did not bat before the 16th over. The fall of the second wicket over the series came at 91, 42, 56, 181 and 1. Compare that to 7, 29, 6 and 24 against South Africa.
The downside? Of batsmen four through seven, Brendon McCullum was the only one to pass 50 in either innings in Auckland. New Zealand lost their last nine wickets for 183 in the first innings. Still, there are hints that mental and technical strides have been made since the horrors of 45 in South Africa.
The first-innings bowling was sharp: England were dismissed for 204. The New Zealand pace bowlers made up for a lack of height - on average, they are about 9cm shorter than their England counterparts - by regularly pitching the ball about a yard further up the wicket to maximise swing. Only three dismissals were not lbw or caught by wicketkeeper or first slip.
The efforts of Trent Boult (his first-innings return of 6 for 68 was his best in first-class cricket), Tim Southee and Neil Wagner moved the hosts into a strong position to push for a second home series victory in 18 attempts against England. The only prior success was in 1983-84.
The New Zealanders finished one wicket shy, which again raises questions about their ability to take 20 wickets, given this was the fifth straight occurrence. Still, with England 304 for 9, and 19 balls left, it could have been different. There was no lack of heart on a largely unresponsive pitch. Boult charging in during the final over summed up their effort.
"Some argued New Zealand batted too long, setting England a target of 481, but that school of thought benefited from hindsight. Fifty fewer runs would have offered a genuine incentive to England to go for the win"
Bruce Martin made less of an impact, taking none for 130 off 65 overs across the match. He showed promise in the first two matches, taking nine wickets at 29.22 and flourishing with the bat in the lower order. However, he could make no headway on a tiring pitch on the final day in Auckland, when it counted. He appeared to bowl too full, looking to elicit drives, rather than bowling slightly shorter, searching for erratic bounce and aiming to catch a glove or bat shoulder. Exacerbating the situation was part-time offspinner Kane Williamson taking 4 for 44 in the second innings, but he had the advantage of being able to bowl into more entrenched footmarks. Martin still deserves an England tour squad place, but if Daniel Vettori returns to full fitness, Vettori is likely to be preferred for the Tests.
The Test offered a further insight into McCullum's tenure as skipper. Debate centred on his decision not to enforce the follow-on, despite a 239-run lead. McCullum's decision was logical: rest the bowlers and get England to bat last on a surface which could break up. Okay, it didn't, but there was merit in the thinking.
Some argued New Zealand batted too long, setting England a target of 481, but that school of thought benefited from hindsight. Fifty fewer runs would have offered a genuine incentive to England, as a world-record chase, beyond the current 418. McCullum didn't need the added pressure. He gave his bowlers four and a half sessions to do the job and they were one good piece of cricket (and several dropped catches) away from completing it.
Few were quibbling when England went into the final day at 90 for 4. Most predicted a finish by tea. Optimism still abounded with England 237 for 7 heading into the final session.
McCullum could afford to stack the slip cordon and crowd the bat, delivering the aggression he has often sought a licence for. Attrition reigned. Runs became irrelevant; the final overs had eight of nine fielders stationed within a late-afternoon shadow of the bat. Prior's seventh Test century and Broad's 103 minutes without scoring (breaking Geoff Allott's 14-year-old record by two minutes) were the major components in sealing off New Zealand's chances.
McCullum was quite the martyr, playing through a hamstring strain until the end. He placed his participation in the IPL (starting next week) in jeopardy. New Zealanders want to see more of that. This Test was a step in the right direction for McCullum's side; a true judgement on their renaissance will be determined on the return leg.

Depression and suicide impact people no matter their status in life, so why aren't we better educated on how to have conversations on these topics and seek the right help? So often, signs and cries for help go unrecognized or avoided. With education and willingness to shed stigmas, lives can be saved.
Our society doesn't always support the healthy expression of emotions and thoughts, which can make it difficult to ask about real emotions. Failure to address depression and suicide has devastating costs: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the United States, there is one death by suicide every 13 minutes. Suicide is the second leading cause of death of people ages 15 to 34, and 25 percent of teenagers in this country consider suicide, according to the QPR Institute. According to The Jason Foundation, in ninth- through 12th-grade students there are 3,470 suicide survivors every day. Most people who attempt or complete suicide don't actually want to die, they just want the pain to stop. Preventing suicide is something we can all influence, as suicide is one of the most preventable types of death.
Depression doesn't discriminate; it's up to all of us to know and recognize the signs and be as willing to intervene as we would with a physical illness. The first step: Recognize when someone is at risk. The majority of people who are considering suicide share thoughts and emotions with at least one person. Common phrases that indicate suicidal thoughts range from the clear, "I wish I were dead" to the more vague "I just want to stop feeling this way" or "My family and friends would be better off without me."
Untreated depression is the No. 1 risk factor in suicide and only one-third of people with depression in the U.S. are receiving treatment, according to the QPR Institute. Depression can be recognized by noticing when someone is sad, irritable, easily upset or angry, or displays low motivation for daily life activities, withdrawal from relationships and does not enjoy things previously enjoyed. The person might display changes in behavior. Also, difficult situations might lead someone to think about or attempt suicide.
If you want to help someone you think might be depressed or thinking about suicide, ask the question. Bringing up the topic of suicide will not increase the risk. This should be done immediately, in private, and allow the person to talk freely. Be persistent, even if the person is dismissive, reluctant or defensive.
If your concern is valid, persuade the person to get help and offer hope, then refer to a professional or a trusted adult. The best referral is to take the person directly to someone who can help or to tell someone who can help. Depression is treatable in a number of ways, but it sometimes takes an observant friend or loved one to recognize the signs, seek help and support, and find hope.

Electoral Area "C" Supports Sovereign Lake Nordic Club
Posted Friday, July 26, 2019
Electoral Area "C" (BX / Silver Star) supported the Sovereign Lake Nordic Club (SLNC) with a contribution of $25,000. The cheque was presented to Troy Hudson, the General Manager of SLNC on Tuesday, July 23, by Amanda Shatzko, Director for Electoral Area "C".
The SLNC is the largest cross country ski club in North America with over 2000 members, and regularly hosts competitions with skiers from across the world. The 54-kilometre track is heavily utilized and requires daily grooming and top-notch equipment. When the SLNC learned the cost of a new groomer was around $450,000, they turned to the community for support.
"Investing in active and healthy lifestyles is important to me," said Amanda Shatzko, Electoral Area "C" Director. "This new equipment will keep the track in good condition for years to come and will allow people of all ages and skill levels to participate in sport in our region, and attract tourism and contributions to the local economy."
"Donations are still needed, so I encourage others to contribute to this excellent amenity in our own backyard," said Shatzko.
The grant from the RDNO was funded through the Community Works Fund (CWF). This fund consists of a stream of federal gas tax funding that is delivered to all local governments in British Columbia, including electoral areas, through a direct annual allocation to support local priorities. Each local government receives CWF funding based on a per capita formula.
Amanda Shatzko, Electoral Area "C" Director, presents a $25,000 cheque to Troy Hudson, the General Manager of the Sovereign Lake Nordic Club.

Ingredients for the cake:
- 3 eggs
- 1oo g/3.5oz sugar
- 15o g/5oz flour
- 1 sour cream (200 ml/6.7floz)
- 1oo g/3.5oz hazelnuts
- 2 tbsp honey
Whisk the egg yolks and sugar. Add cream, honey, hazelnuts and finally the whisked egg whites. Bake in a No. 26 cake pan/10″ round cake pan at 18o°/356°F for around 25-3o minutes. When cooled, apply the cream.
- 2 eggs
- 1 vanilla sugar package
- 1oo g/3.5oz sugar
- 4 dcl/13.5fl oz double cream
- 5oo g/17oz cheese (Marscapone)
- assorted fruit (one cup)
- 2o g/0.7oz gelatine
Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar well over steam (or whisk the ingredients then pour into a teflon pan and at lower heat cook the filling). When totally cooled, add into the cream.
Mix the cheese separately with a mixer and let me just say that I don't use Mascarpone but rather some plain fresh cheese bought on the market, drained and then blended.
Whip the cream briefly, add the gelatin prepared from the instructions on the package (I used beef gelatin by Dr.Oetker which you only add to the cream, without previous preparation) and mix it all well so you get firm whipped cream. Now combine all the ingredients – cheese, eggs and whipped cream and when you get a thick, rich texture, add the fruit. Place the prepared cake into a cake mold. You can garnish the cake with fruit. As for the chocolate triangles you see on the picture, you can make them by melting chocolate over heat and smearing it onto baking paper. Once chilled, draw out the triangles and leave in the fridge for the chocolate to harden and afterwards just slowly remove them from the paper and place around the cake.
For this cake I used filling that is used for the redcurrant cake recipe, except that I only had some wild strawberries, raspberries and blueberries and put them in instead of the redcurrants .

Money + Career Choices04.14.12
Yesterday, my friend, Manish Patel and I, did a careers in technology panel at a L.A. based charter school. Quick background on them -- the Alliance College Ready Public Schools are a set of charter schools founded several years ago -- some of their backers include the Gates Foundation, the Walton Family Foundation, and the Broad Foundation. More information about them is here on their website [link]. I took a tour of one of their high schools, was incredibly impressed by their work and the dedication of the various staff and students I met, that I organized this panel at one of their high schools. (Yesterday's was the 2nd one we did at another high school.)
Manish and I, by the way, are friends and we used to work together at Google. He's currently a venture capitalist at Highland Capital [link].
Davida (the principal) mentioned that our panel was so popular that she had to cap signups at 30 and they had a waiting list. These panels can be a little difficult to navigate. In this particular case, there was no formal agenda, so frankly -- it was Manish and I riffing a little while the room warmed up enough to begin asking questions beyond the "sample questions" that Davida had provided them. Honestly, I was really afraid we were boring them or saying inane things until I was interrupted by the theme music from Super Mario Brothers. (It plays over their speaker system to let them know when to switch classes.) When they told me what the music signified, I said, "Oh, do you guys need to go?" To which multiple people shouted, "No! Keep talking!" I took that as a good sign though it's certainly possible they just didn't want to go back to class :)
Both Manish and I spent a lot of time talking about the various companies we worked at, what we learned, how it helped us prepare for subsequent jobs, and so forth. It was all nice and good. Then towards the end of the talk, one of the students asked, "To what extent does money factor into your career decisions?"
Wow. I didn't see that one coming. But I decided to take that one since I felt like I have a particular perspective on it.
I left amazon.com for a whole host of reasons, but one of the reasons was because I wanted to do something more entrepreneurial. I failed. Looking back, the reasons were pretty clear and maybe I'll delve into them in a future post, but after that failure, my mind was oriented around, frankly, getting more money. If I couldn't get something off the ground because I didn't have enough money, well, I would find a job that would pay me more money, save up, and then give another go at it. I should note that at this point, while I wasn't literally running out of money, I kind of was. I had a non-trivial amount of money in my bank account (~$20-25K) but with no income, that money was going quickly. I moved into the basement of a friend's house (initially they had me house sit while they were on vacation in exchange for free rent and I just ended up staying there for a while). I would save money on everything -- one example is Subway had (and still has) a deal where you can get certain foot-long subs for $5. So I would buy a footlong meatball sub $5 for lunch -- and then eat half of it for lunch, and half of it for dinner. So for someone who really never wanted for anything money-wise, this was a very strong wake up call as to why you make money.
After a difficult and humbling job search, I ended up getting a number of job offers -- including one from Google. At the time, the tech crash had occurred and there weren't a lot of tech companies hiring. Google was one of the few. But even more interestingly, for those that knew, Google was one of the very few chances to change your life. Why? Google fit all the criteria -- it was pre-IPO by a couple of years, it was still reasonably small (800 employees when I joined), growing very fast, and the whisper was that it was already profitable. That's a sure bet. You never know what your stock options will be worth, but this stood a good chance that they would be worth something significant.
I remember interviewing at Google. It was weird and quirky. While I was waiting for my first interview, in the lobby was a gift-wrapped arcade machine (I think) and the discussion that I overhead mentioned that one of the venture capitalists was giving it as a holiday gift to one of the founders. That was completely outside the bounds of my understanding.
The core group of my interviews were just fine. I met, I think, half a dozen people who all seemed perfectly nice and I was in full-on interview mode. At the end of the day, the recruiter brings me in for 5 minutes to meet with the VP -- he was apparently driving a candidate to the airport or picking someone up at the airport, but even though he was tight on time, they wanted to make sure he met me. Ok. He pretty much asked me only one question -- something about whether CPCs would be higher for a more general search term or a more specific search term. I talked about how more specific terms are likely to result in a higher CPC because it's more targeted and brought up the example of comparing why someone would pay more for the term "Canon S100" over the term "digital camera". He seemed to find this acceptable and then left.
As the recruiter was walking me out, it was around 630pm, and literally, the entire office was still there. Everyone. They were working away at their cubicles and it was dead silent save the sound of typing of keyboards. No one was even on the phone. I saw my life, I knew exactly what it would be like, and I knew I would be terribly unhappy.
To answer the student's question, I said something to the effect of, "I knew I would be unhappy at Google and I took the job because I knew I would get paid more than I would get paid anywhere else."
Mark Suster wrote a blog post a few years ago where he espoused the theory that in any job, you should be learning OR you should be earning [link to blog post]. The problem is that people want it all -- they try to learn and earn simultaneously.
My first job out of college was at amazon.com. Because I had a competing offer that offered me a more senior title, amazon.com offered to match that offer (which was for a "Product Manager" title -- a title usually reserved for folks coming out of an MBA program or promoted into after a few years of working). However, my pay was set at the level below that. It's possible I could've gotten more money but I didn't bother negotiating because I got what I thought was the most important thing -- I got that title, and got it with a legitimate tech company. To amazon's credit, within a year, they adjusted my pay by bumping up my salary almost 50% -- but my crystal clear focus in that initial offer was to learn -- it didn't matter that my salary was way below what others with an equivalent title would be getting. (As a matter of reference, one of my colleagues -- her signing bonus was what I got in first year comp + signing bonus)
I remember telling myself before I took the Google offer that I had to get my mind straight. That I had to understand what I was doing. That I was taking a job where I believed I would be unhappy in exchange for the fact that I would get paid. And I took it. And I was deeply unhappy for at least the first year and a half. Now -- despite this unhappiness, I would say that I worked the hardest when I was unhappiest.
I had a friend / colleague in a very similar situation in terms of unhappiness, and we would get together every week or two at this cafe in Menlo Park called Barrone, order some drinks, and literally sit in silence as we wallowed at how miserable we were. At one point, maybe 15 months in, I called my brother and said, "I don't think I can make it." And he told me the most liberating thing that he could've said at that point. He said, "Then leave. You made it over a year. You don't have to stay." For whatever reason, that gave me all I needed to stay and stay for 4 years. Now -- I should note, that the last couple of years were relatively enjoyable and I should also note that I don't say all this in a blame Google sort of fashion. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if I could've carved out a far more compelling, interesting, and enjoyable existence at Google with a number of small changes. I certainly don't put all the blame on myself, because in so many ways, Google was great for me, and great for lots of other people -- and I don't want that to get lost in this blog post.
Around maybe 2006 or 2007, one of my friends who was a pretty senior person at a prestigious tech company told me that some folks at Facebook had inquired as to whether or not she'd like to join them. I knew Facebook and I knew them for a while. They were Google but even earlier than when I joined. They had all the attributes too -- they were going to be huge. I told her, "Whatever you do, go to Facebook. Even if you know you're going to be unhappy, go there, because you can work there for 4 years and then retire and do whatever you want for the rest of your life." She didn't go -- for a combination of reasons. Some of it was she'd have to take a temporary pay cut (her base + bonus at her current company was likely way more than what Facebook would pay) and some of it was pure comfort (she was in meetings with the senior management team of her company and these were very well-known people in the industry. Back then, Facebook was not the Facebook of today -- it was a good, but relatively early stage startup.) Her not going, conservatively, cost her $10MM. Probably a lot more. Only she can decide if that made sense or not, but she did tell me recently, "I should've gone."
At least the way I interpret it, the conundrum with her job was that she sort of was getting both -- she sort of was learning (though she wasn't ridiculously happy with the extent / scope which is partly why Facebook intrigued her) and she was sort of earning -- she was well paid in terms of yearly copensation but her overall compensation over the long-term was nothing like what it would've been if she took a little more risk and jumped to someone like Facebook.
The overall advice I wanted to convey to this student is sometimes you have to make very significant tradeoffs. The easy answer would've been, "Money is important but [insert all other more noble pursuits / attributes / etc. here] are more important." I was clear about what I wanted, what I needed, and the fact that I worked at Google has enabled me to do what I've done the past 5 years and those have been the best 5 years of my life. For that, I'll always be grateful to Google. But to do so, I had to say to myself, "I'm taking this job because of the money and only because of the money."

Neighbourhood schools these days are producing not just academically capable students but talented ones too. One activity some schools are offering to nurture talents is chess. For instance, chess is part of the curriculum for all Primary One students at Gongshang Primary. The principal of Gongshang Primary School, Daisie Yip, said: "It's really to train them through a game, through a fun way, to be analytical.

Are you ever stupid? Well, I am, sometimes.
Unfortunately, being stupid is easier these days than ever before. But before I get into that, let's establish some meaning on the topic. Being stupid, or stupidity, in my mind was always the opposite of, or lack of, intelligence. I have been known to think or say, "That was stupid" or "I was stupid" or "They are stupid". Frankly, I never thought about it very much, if at all. It's not a moniker or description I prefer to use frequently. It has a "fixed-ness" to it.
My thinking changed recently when I came across a definition of stupidity by Adam Robinson: "Stupidity is overlooking or dismissing conspicuously crucial information."
Let's look at that again: the information is conspicuous (it's obvious to the eye or to the mind; it's right under our noses) and it's crucial (it's important, perhaps very important; we should not ignore it) and yet somehow we miss it or dismiss it. Wow.
That's stupid.
How does stupidity happen?
Robinson describes seven factors that contribute to stupidity. All seven do not have to be present in order to trigger stupidity; one is sufficient.
- Rushing or urgency
- Any task that requires intense focus (think fixation)
- Information overload
- Stress (including fatigue, illness, lack of sleep)
- Being in the presence of an "expert" or "authority"
- Being in a group, especially when cohesion or unity is involved
- Being outside your normal environment or changing your routines
If any one of these factors can trigger stupidity, imagine the increased potential of multiple factors!
Does that list seem familiar? It should. It describes much of our daily activity in today's ever-connected world! In fact, Robinson makes the point that "Stupidity is the cost of intelligence operating in a complex environment."
Yes, really. There's the story of Yo-Yo Ma, the musician who forgot his $2.5-million dollar, 266-year old cello in the trunk of a taxi in New York in 1999. Ma is from Boston and was in New York (#1 out of his normal environment), rushing (#2) and exhausted (#3); three of seven factors. His cello was safely returned but Ma said, "I did something really stupid."
We all do, sometimes.
What's a person to do? Two words: be aware. Our lives are fast paced. Look back at the seven factors. If one or more is present, be aware. Don't make important decisions. Know that multitasking is a form of information overload. Fatigue, illness, an all-nighter, or emotional overload can give you the mental acuity and reflexes of someone who's legally drunk.
This is why we never text while driving (right?), because that would be stupid.
In Other Words…
"Sometimes a man wants to be stupid if it lets him do a thing his cleverness forbids." ― John Steinbeck, East of Eden
"It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt" ― Mark Twain
"Cause when a guy does something stupid once, well that's because he's a guy. But if he does the same stupid thing twice, that's usually to impress some girl." ― Dr. Seuss
"If it is stupid but it works, it isn't stupid." ― Mercedes Lackey
In The Word…
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34 NIV

The laughs just wouldn't stop!
Last night at the Historic Cabot Street Theatre in Beverly Massachusetts laughter was abound as Paul Gilligan took the stage with fellow comedians to entertain the North Shore. Scamps Comedy Productions was able to pack the house on a cool fall night on the North Shore.
The comedians for the night made sure there wasn't a single person who wasn't giggling in their seat. Jesse Bickford who brought the crowd into the experience opened up the show and Stephan Bjork who brought his great comedy style and local touch to the crowd followed him. Dave Lamb also brought his great comedy style and made sure that everyone was warmed up for the headliner Paul Gilligan.
Once Paul took the stage there wasn't a moment in his act that the theatre was silent. Paul brought his A game as he was able to even get this critic to laugh almost over every joke he threw out at us. Have you ever wondered what it was like to live in Ipswich Massachusetts? Paul made sure to tell you how it is to go kayaking when there is only 2.5 inches of water in the Ipswich River. Also how come if you pay your property taxes in Ipswich you can only put out two barrel's and can't have any fences around your property. However the beavers down the end of the street can build a multi level condo that has an in ground pool and hot tub. Paul makes sure that you know that he is a local and makes you feel like you have been friends forever.
All in all Scamp Comedy Productions made sure to make everyone sit on the edge of their seat with laughter. Stephan Bjork, Jesse Bickford, Dave Lamb & Paul Gilligan brought their A game to the audience and made sure we were all entertained throughout the night. Comedy returns to Beverly on Saturday November 7th, 2015 at the Beverly/Salem Elks Lodge for the North Shore Last's Comic's Standing hosted by Bob Gautreau. Come see 10 local comics' compete to be the best on the North Shore. For more information visit http://nslastcomic.weebly.com/.

We were greeted with welcoming arms and were made to feel like royalty. Children were introduced to the classes and schools, some even had to make speeches at school assemblies!
Our students experienced many different lessons including music, calligraphy, PE, paper cutting, Kung Fu, Art and science.
Then it was lunch time! Our school meals varied from rice to black beans to KFC to ducks blood!!! Some schools were lucky enough to have delicious cakes for snack time.
On return the tingle in the air was electric. Kids were excited to share their stories and new experiences with each other. A few may refuse to return back to their Australian classrooms!
In the afternoon we ventured to the Humble Administrators Garden. This world heritage site was one to remember. Commonly known in China as 'The Mother's Gardens', we wandered through the gardens with many other tourists and Chinese nationals.
We ended the day with the most exciting part of the trip! HOMESTAYS!
We have spoken to students and they are having a blast! We look forward to hearing all of the stories tomorrow morning!

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Quick Update on Lightning Goaltender Mike Smith
by Jon Jordan on 12/20/10 at 10:57 PM ET
Comments (0)
Word from Lightning PR just now is that goaltender Mike Smith will miss approximately two weeks with what is being called a "minor knee injury".
Smith left today's morning skate after a collision with forward Simon Gagne.
Goaltender Cedrick Desjardins, whose recall this morning sparked the return of some speculation regarding the team's situation in goal that had been effectively stifled by solid play from Smith of late, is dressed as Dan Ellis' backup tonight and is now far more likely to get his first taste of NHL action with Smith on the shelf.

Lg Ductless Art Cool in Waukesha – What Is HVAC Pressure?
HVAC pressure is the amount of force generated by a heating or cooling system's operation throughout a building. HVAC stands for heating venting and air conditioning. In order for a forced air unit to function the way it was intended to, the right amount of pressure must be generated between the air being pulled into the unit and the amount of air being forced out of the unit into the building.
Lg Art Cool Ductless Air Conditioner in Waukesha – HVAC Pressure.
In order to create the correct amount of HVAC pressure, there are a number of factors that must be taken into consideration. First, the size of the building the unit will be providing either heated or cooled air for must be calculated. This is necessary to determine the size of the forced air unit required to maintain a comfortable air temperature for the building.
Once the amount of space the unit will have to heat or cool is determined, the size and type of unit can be decided upon. In order to create enough HVAC pressure within the duct work used to feed temperature controlled air into the building, the unit has to have enough strength to easily push or force the air to the point of the building that is highest in the system. It must do this without becoming overworked.
L g Mini Split in Waukesha – The Size of the Unit.
Once the size of the unit has been determined, the size and design of the ducting that will be run through the building must be determined as well. The size of the ducting is imperative at this point, because ductwork that is too large will not allow the unit to efficiently push controlled air through it. The ductwork that feeds the unit its supply of fresh air must also be of the correct dimensions. If it isn't, the air flow into the unit can become constricted, which can result in the unit becoming damaged.

Mumbai, Oct 19, 2019-
Tightening its noose in the multi-crore real estate deals involving fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar's close aide late Iqbal Mirchi and his family, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday carried out searches at over 14 places, including offices of Dewan Housing Finance Corp Ltd (DHFL) and Sunblink Real Estate Private Ltd and residences of their promoters.
The ED also questioned DHFL's non-executive director Dheeraj Wadhawan, also the brother of DHFL's Chairman and Managing Director Kapil Wadhawan, in connection with the case.
The ED teams carried out searches in connection with the Rs 2,186 crore loan issued to Sunblink Real Estates since 2010. Sunblink Real Estates is a firm of Dheeraj Realty, whose promoter is Dheeraj Wadhawan, an ED source told IANS.
According to the source, DHFL had business links with Sunblink Real Estates, the firm at the heart of investigations into the financial dealings of Mirchi. "Some of the amounts were paid in dummy bank accounts in Chennai and a part of payment was made in Dubai as well, which is under investigation," he said.
The development comes in the wake of the ED's submission in a Mumbai court that Sunblink Real Estate was given a loan of Rs 2,186 crore by DHFL on three properties, under the lens in the Mirchi case.
In the coming days, the ED might question Kapil Wadhwan over loans to Sunblink Real Estate, the source added.
According to the ED, the purchase of the three assets by Mirchi, who died in London in 2013, were allegedly made from the proceeds of crime. The three buildings — Sea View, Marium Lodge and Rabia Mansion — were sold to a firm for Rs 225 crore in 2010. Mirchi allegedly received the majority of it.
"Ranjeet Bindra, arrested on October 11, in the statement recorded under custody, accepted meetings and negotiations with Mirchi in London in respect of the three said properties as broker and on behalf of Sunblink Real Estate," the source said.
The ED also arrested Haroon Yusuf, former chairman of a dubious trust. According to the agency, Bindra acted as a broker in the land deal while Yusuf transferred the money to a trust and facilitated the deal.
Yusuf became a British national in 2004 and played a crucial role in illegal land deals between Mirchi and developers that were carried out by Bindra for brokerage of around Rs 30 crore.
"We suspect the money had allegedly been routed by Sunblink into accounts linked to Mirchi and his associates since 2010. We are looking for evidence in the form of documents and the money trail," the source said.
So far, DHFL has not been named. "The searches are to ascertain the nature of loans," he said.
DHFL, however, has maintained it was never involved in any wrongdoing. The ED on Friday questioned former Union Minister and senior NCP leader Praful Patel for over 12 hours in connection with the case.
The ED has also questioned Mukhtar Memon, brother of Mirchi's first wife Hazra Memon. The ED documents reveal Millennium Developers, a company promoted by Patel and his wife, constructed a 15-storey building on a plot allegedly owned by Mirchi. As per the list of Mirchi's properties, in India and the UK, Ceejay House was constructed as a joint venture between Mirchi and Millenium Developers in 2006-07.
In 2007, the third and fourth floors of the building were given to Mirchi's family by Millennium Developers. (Agency)
