In the past 15 years Bega Valley Shire Council have embarked on the development and implementation of formal Estuary Management Plans for a number of the Shire's more significant estuaries including Wallaga Lake, Bega River, Merimbula and Back Lakes, Pambula Lake, Lake Curalo and Wonboyn Lake. In 2016 Council has initiated new projects to:
Develop a new Coastal Management Program for the Bermagui River estuary
Review existing Management Plans and develop new Coastal Management Programs for the Wallaga Lake, Merimbula Lake, Back Lake, and Lake Curalo estuaries
These projects will run throughout 2017, and when complete, the Coastal Management Programs will provide planning direction for these estuaries over the coming decade, consistent with the reformed coastal management framework in NSW. The aims of the new Coastal Management Programs for our esturaries include:
Providing an update to our understanding of the estuary processes
Considering how best to tackle the threats and pressures on our estuaries, and to protect and enhance their natural environment
Working with the community to find new opportunities for further improving the recreational amenity of our estuaries
Information about the Coastal Management Programs for each estuary can be found in the links below.

DeFrancesco honored as Realtor Citizen of the Year
Kelly DeFrancesco has been selected Realtor Citizen of the Year for 2017 by the New Canaan Board of Realtors.
"This award is given to a New Canaan Realtor who exemplifies the qualities of professionalism, ethics and willingness to devote time and energy to our real estate community and to the community at large," according to the New Canaan board, which accepts nominations from throughout its membership.
The winners "personify, by their deeds and actions, the best example of a Realtor in our membership."
DeFrancesco is an agent with William Raveis Real Estate, has won many awards for her sales production and client service and is an active participant and volunteer in many New Canaan community endeavors. She is a longtime volunteer for Staying Put in New Canaan and demonstrated so much devotion to that group that she was recently asked to join the board.
She is also heavily involved in Filling in the Blanks, a non-profit organization which provides meals to needy school-aged Fairfield County children on weekends. She helped to organize a "Sip n Shop" event for the New Canaan Realtor community to raise money for The Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation through William Raveis Real Estate, and DeFrancesco was recognized within the firm for being one of the top individual fundraisers in the entire company for the William Raveis Ride & Walk for Cancer Research.
A Red Cross blood donor, a member of National Charity League, a co-chair of NCHS Prom Entertainment Committee, DeFrancesco also took on the role as co-chair of the 2017 YMCA Gala to celebrate the unveiling of the newly renovated New Canaan YMCA.
While doing all this, DeFrancesco makes sure to visit her elderly friend once a week to deliver lunch or medications, or simply to sit and chat, said Gillian DePalo, sales vice president in the New Canaan Raveis office.
"I really believe in how important it is to invest time and effort into the community," DeFrancesco told the Advertiser. "There are so many organizations in town it is important to support them any way we can."
Through her work DeFrancesco takes the opportunities to introduce clients "to all the good that New Canaan is doing." She lets them know about the opportunities to get involved as she promotes the town with its parks, village, schools, and all of its other assets.
"I love what I do … and introducing people to the town," she said.
DeFrancesco formed a partnership with April Kaynor within the Raveis office in 2017 called April + Kelly.

A MOTHER'S LOVE My son Aiden, born in 2010, is the love of my life. When he began exhibiting signs of autism at the age of 2, my existence changed. To my fellow Warrior Mom's, you know what happened next. I dedicated my life to learning and finding a method of healing my child and reversing the damage that caused his autism.
My path: Asking God for guidance; Finding physicians specializing in a healing modality of medicine; Changing my family's lifestyle to an Organic Non GMO diet; and Utilizing costly medical options such as:
• CHELATION to remove the heavy metals that were introduced to Aiden's body through the over 45 vaccinations he was mandated to receive;
• HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY to increase atmospheric pressure forcing a higher concentration of oxygen into the body to boost cell repair;
• EXTENSIVE BLOOD WORK to track deficiencies and to establish a pure supplement and pro biotic regimen;
• STEM CELL THERAPY at Duke University utilizing Aiden's Cord Blood that was not exposed to the vaccinations containing the heavy metals; and
• PHYSICAL, SENSORY, EATING and countless other therapies.
My son is a fighter and with every passing day he gets one step closer to being damage free. If you would like to keep tabs on his progress, join me on Facebook where he always makes an appearance https://www.facebook.com/vanessa.labarca.96
My journey brought us to BEMER where I read: "Improve your life in 16 minutes""BEMER applications BOOST the blood flow, thus benefiting the body's cardiac system, REGENERATIVE ABILITIES and even mental acuity. Imagine being better tomorrow than you are today"
After doing my research, attending seminars and hearing the testimonials, BEMER therapy is part of my family's daily regimen. Aiden, my love, you are almost there!!!

Is it possible for someone to put a tracker on your phone to know where you are?
Basically, this guy I know seems to always know where I am when I have not even told him, I went away a couple of weeks ago and he seemed to know where I went. Last year I took another trip and he knew exactly where I was the only thing I could think of that he has some kind of tracker on my phone is this possible?

in a word, yes..................................
- Christin KLv 74 weeks ago
Have you looked at your phone? Turn off your GPS location feature. If he has any sort of app that tracks friends, that's the only way he could be doing it. Turning off your GPS will keep him from tracking you that way. ALSO--block his number.
- walmeisLv 74 weeks ago
There are several ways he could be identifying where you are:
1) An app loaded on your smartphone, either which he added, a friend added, or you did (maybe) without realizing it. Titles include "Find My Phone", "Phone Tracker", "Family Locator", "Phone Number Tracker", etc. Apps like these access the GPS position of the phone and send it to another phone, website, etc. The Android store has hundreds of such apps.
2) You are making use of a service which somehow indicates where you are. For example, if you have your phone camera app set to automatically upload photos and perhaps he is permitted to see those: so he inspects the GPS data within the photos. Or looks at the photo images and determines where they were taken.
3) If you make social media posts, perhaps you are providing clues about your location.
4) Maybe some combination of these. For example, if your phone is configured to report your location to your friend, maybe the guy is talking to your friend?

You might want to consider backing up anything (pics, etc.) off your phone and doing a factory reset on it.
If he keeps showing up, then report him to the police and get a restraining order against him.

Raspberry Pi users that are looking for an affordable way to go mobile, may be interested in a new Raspberry Pi portable casing that has been created by Adafruit and includes a DPI Kippah display.
Other components required for the build include a new PowerBoost 1000C which has this year been launched by Adafruit and builds on the pervious 500C PowerBoost offering a constant 5.2V supply making sure there is a little spare.
The Pi case has been 3D printed but if you don'a have access to a 3D printer there are plenty of services to choose from such as 3D Hubs, MakerXYZ or Shapeways.
This project enclosure was designed specially to fit the components listed in the sidebar and below. The parts unfortunately will not fit on smaller print beds (like the Printrbot Simple). To print the parts, you'll need access to a printer with a minimum build plate of 100mm x 168mm x 30mm.
There's enough room in the enclosure to fit a thin plastic speaker and a mono Class D audio amplifier. We can wire up an audio cable (3.5mm jack) to the amp and plug it into the audio jack on the Raspberry Pi. This portion can be optional, but the keep in mind there's no access to the audio jack on this 3D printed enclosure.
For full instructions and 3D print files required for the build jump over to the Adafruit website.

The multifunctional CACI Ultra combines the facial toning functions of the award winning CACI Classic non surgical face lift system with the skin regenerating applications of the world acclaimed Futur-Tec system.
The CACI Ultra System incorporates 4 different technologies within one state of the art treatment device, Microcurrent,Ultrasonic Peel, Hydratone and LED Light Therapy photo stimulation.
The system utilises a special ultrasonic handset that vibrates at 27,000 vibrations per second on the skin surface to exfoliate and deep cleanse the epidermis.
Ultra's unique wrinkle comb applicator is used to effectively and painlessly plump out and soften deep lines and wrinkles thereby providing a needle free alternative to dermal fillers.
Micro-current stimulation delivers tiny electrical impulses that mirror the body's own natural bio electrical field.
Originally developed for treating facial palsy Micro-current therapy is now also used widely in physiotherapy for pain control and in hospitals for wound healing. As an aesthetic treatment micro-current stimulation has been shown to have a number of other cosmetic benefits:
- re-educates muscles
- increases blood and lymph circulation
- enhances the penetration of the active ingredients of skin care formulations
- increases the production of collagen and elastin
- increases protein synthesis, gluconeogenesis and cell membrane transport
- increases mitochondria activity , adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Microcurrent in aesthetics is commonly described as "facial toning or non surgical face lifting" due to the dramatic lifting effect that micro-current has on facial muscles and facial contours.
In the 1960's Drs S. Baker and S.Doyle demonstrated that effective and long term muscle re-education could only be achieved using micro-current ultra low frequencies.
During each Caci treatment session all 32 facial muscles are gently manipulated and re-educated by a trained therapist using a series of precise movements. Soft cotton tipped wands are used on the face to transmit the micro-current energy to the facial muscles to restore tone and elasticity.
Although a remarkable difference is seen after the first treatment, the benefits of micro-current are cumulative and typically a course of 10 treatments will be required for optimum results.
Ultrasonic peeling uses a hand piece containing ceramic/quartz heads that when excited by an electrical current emit piezoelectric vibrations that cause the hand piece to vibrate at 27,000 vibrations per second on the skin surface.
These rapid vibrations push skin impurities to the skin surface and cause any dead skin cells to become dislodged . The vibrating hand piece is then used to deep cleanse and gently exfoliate the epidermis.
The rapid expansions and contractions of the vibrating hand piece also destroy skin bacteria by causing the single cell wall of the bacteria cells to implode.
Ultrasonic skin peeling provides a far gentler and less aggressive alternative to traditional microdermabrasion methods of skin exfoliation.
Light Therapy
The application of light as a treatment therapy is termed "Phototherapy" derived from the measurement of light energy in units of photons.
Light energy is in every nerve, cell, gland and muscle of the body and each emits its own unique frequency vibration.
When the body becomes out of balance (due to age, health, environment, lifestyle or other external factors) the frequency vibration within the cells is affected and this disruption can lead to signs of ageing, skin conditions, illness and disease.
Each colour wavelength of light has a specific and unique frequency vibration. Specific light wavelengths have a bio stimulatory action on the cells and so can be used to effectively normalize cellular imbalances and treat certain skin conditions.
There are now numerous scientific studies on the effect of phototherapy in the healing of acne and other skin conditions.
NASA have recently conducted studies on the use of red LED light for the enhancement of cell growth and found that the application of specific wavelengths of light increased fibroblast activity and enhanced DNA synthesis leading to the production of new collagen.
A follow up study by Wisconsin Medical College demonstrated that the specific wavelengths of red LED light could be used to accelerate wound healing.
The American Academy of Dermatology has reported that blue light can be used to destroy the bacteria that produces the inflammation associated with propionbacterium acnes.
The British Journal of Dermatology has reported that the combination of specific red and blue light wavelengths can successfully treat acne.
A recent study at Hammersmith Hospital demonstrated that the combination of red and blue light phototherapy for the treatment of acne produced quicker results than the application of blue light alone.
Red and Blue LED Light Therapy technology is incorporated in Caci Ultra treatment system.
Hydratone combines active micro-current rollers with a unique, electrically conductive silicon gel mask that has been infused with powerful hydrating properties. The rollers gently massage the face causing the mask to become electrically charged so that the whole face is bathed with rejuvenating energy.
The energy delivered by the rollers recharges and replenishes the bio-electrical energy within the facial muscles, restoring tone and firmness.
The energy generated also drives the hydrating actives contained within the gel mask deep into the skin tissue. The gel mask has a dramatic softening action helping to plump out and smooth deep lines and wrinkles.
The Electro Cellulite Massager (ECM) combines the therapeutic benefits of massage with the effectiveness of microcurrent therapy.
The unique design of the Electro Cellulite Massager utilizes twenty four conductive rollers electrically charged with microcurrent to gently knead tired shoulders, soothe aching limbs and firm sagging muscles.
The rollers are designed to pivot to the body contours of each individual targeting specific problem areas. The stimulatory action of the Electro Cellulite Massager helps to break down fatty deposits and tone muscles.
ECM can help with:
- Breaking down stubborn cellulite
- Soothing tired aching muscles
- Relieving painful stress nodules
- Lifting and firming buttocks
- Contouring and toning legs and thighs
- Stimulating circulation
- Aiding lymphatic drainage

Turns out we don't have all of the colors we can paint with. A group from Oregon State University created a new color of blue back in 2009, by which the researchers mean it was a total accident. It probably took 7 years before the press got a hold of it because of copyright and patenting processes, and likely trying to recreate that accident, and also the fact that scientific research is really slow. Who knows. Either way, it looks quite fetching.
OK, the name's not exactly fetching. Come on, "YInMn blue"? I know that rarely do things sound sexy in science, but come on! First of all, Mas Subramanian and his group at Oregon State discovered it, they could call it whatever they want. Second, YInMn (which is probably pronounced as you think it would) tells you what makes up the stuff – it's a crystal network made of yttrium, indium, and manganese. What makes YInMn blue good material is that according to Smith et al., it absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation without degrading, which is good for the kind of material you want to use to cool something down. UV radiation is a common problem in materials research because it's highly energetic, it attacks bonds between atoms, and (thanks to oxygen from the atmosphere) forms some new bonds that aren't always a good thing; this is where you get cracked plastic, wire insulation that gets hard and brittle (and it's not supposed to, especially if there's electricity running through it), and clothing can look weathered. OK, the last one isn't so bad; just mark it off as 'vintage'. Cool for clothing, not so much for electrical systems (a burned-out house isn't 'vintage', and good luck with your insurance claims adjuster).
YInMn (or anything blue, or really anything) cools things down by reflecting infrared radiation, which we often perceive as heat (see below). Which is good, since the sun shoots out quite a bit of it (including UV rays, which isn't the greatest, either). So, what have we got? A cooling material that can stand up to being outside. You could imagine it on clothing, cars, roofs, maybe even solar-panel materials. OK, fine, it was an accident, but look how well that turned out for the Subramanian research group. It's how we got penicillin and the microwave, right?

Mile High
So I'm in Denver at the moment.
Back at the beginning of the year we had to reserve our vacation days so that the Curmudgeonly Lion could request them off from work. Knowing that the semester would be ending in May and that there was a possibility that I would find a job or internship for the summer, we decided to squeeze in a week of vacation right before Memorial Day. Other than this we had no plans.
Several weeks ago the Curmudgeonly Lion came to me:
"Do you have anything planned for that vacation week in May?" he asked.
"Uuuuuuuuuuhh," (this was the middle of the semester and my brains were fried). "Not that I can think of." I said.
"Good." He said. "Don't make any plans for that week."
So he planned a trip and it was a surprise. All that I knew was that I couldn't make any plans for that week.
Where were we going?
What were we going to be doing?
I put it out of my mind for the time being and he made all the arrangements: the travel itinerary, the house-and-cat sitter, the packing… Our flight left at 5:30 in the morning. I found out at 3:30 that we were headed to Denver where my best friend from high school and her family lives.
It was a pretty awesome surprise.
And it's been a pretty great trip so far, and it's only been the first day! We got a tour of Downtown Denver and the University Club where my best friend's dad took us to lunch. We got to chat and catch up. I went for a run and did surprisingly well considering the altitude (I was shocked, but proud). We went for some Thai food for dinner and then caught a movie- my second visit to a movie theatre in three days, which is some kind of a record for me these days.
At any rate, it was a great surprise and I can hardly wait to see what else is in store.

The Verse's Oliver Pendlington tells us what he thought of the latest comedy-musical, starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, in his La La Land review.
Director: Damien Chazelle
Screenplay: Damien Channel
Stars: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, John Legend, Rosemarie DeWitt and J.K. Simmons
Plot: Aspiring jazz pianist Seb (Gosling) and aspiring actress Mia (Stone) have a chance encounter in a bar amidst the sun-soaked backdrop of Los Angeles. The two quickly fall in love and plan big dreams together, but the reality of constant failure and other lucrative opportunities puts their aspirations to the test.
A film that feels original, or at least authentically original, is an extremely rare thing to see in a modern film industry overrun by countless franchises with endless sequels, remakes, etc. It is also rare to see superb genres that were so prevalent in cinema's Golden Age as a form of excitement, drama and pure joy, most of all the Musical. Happily, both are evident in Damien Chazelle's La La Land, a true miracle of a film that is justifiably being called a modern masterpiece. Though set in the modern decade, its style is heavily steeped in the 1950s, a time when this wonderful medium was largely about making magic rather than money.
Much of the credit for all this must go to Chazelle, who, having already directed 2014's gripping Whiplash, has firmly established himself as one of the best writers/directors of his generation. For La La Land, Chazelle's greatest strength is paying loving homage to films of the past through taking creative risks that seem practically unheard of in this modern era. For instance, the opening number involving car drivers singing on a packed L.A. freeway may sound corny, certainly by modern standards. But Chazelle makes this such an enrapturing and colourful scene, all shot in one mesmerising take, that it instead beautifully invokes extravagant chorus numbers that were heavily prevalent in the Musical's heyday. This makes the song both irresistibly delightful and touchingly nostalgic.
There are numerous other techniques that the film wonderfully uses to give it a 1950s aesthetic style. Most notable is the use of widescreen Cinemascope, which lends stunning depth to the glamourous character of a vibrant L.A. The songs and score by Justin Hurwitz are all superb and allow for some dazzling inventive sequences, notably Mia and Seb's dance among the stars at Griffith Observatory and a dizzying swimming pool party. And yet these songs do not distract from the film's bittersweet love story of a harsh world where aspirations and dreams are overshadowed by reality. The emphasis of being out of touch with reality is strongly played upon, making all the music and artistry on display reinforce the hope that what was old can be gloriously new again.
Of course, this would not be emotionally possible if Chazelle did not cast the right talented actors in his leading roles, the heart and soul of La La Land. He could not have done better than Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, who instantly have charming chemistry with each other. Stone is excellent as Mia, conveying a whole range of emotions beneath her bubbly but determined attitude with a beauty reminiscent of starlets like Ginger Rogers. Gosling's Seb, then, is the film's Fred Astaire, a scruffy-looking but handsome man with a passion for making jazz art again. Even if the challenges the two must endure make the film sad at times, they do not detract from something so charming that even the most cynical person can smile about. A pure joy that is already one of the best films of the year.
Rating: 5/5

As I pulled into my parents' driveway I saw a car I didn't recognize on the street. My family always spends the high holidays together, just the four of us, and no one had said anything about changing that.
I walked in and saw my cousin Jessica and her parents sitting on the living room sofa. This was the extended family for us, the people we only saw at each others' bar and bat mitzvahs and at Thanksgiving. A few weddings. The occasional funeral.
No one seemed to notice me even as I stood right in front of them for a moment and wondered why they were there, so I went to the kitchen where I found my mother. "Hi," I said, "I didn't realize you invited so many people."
Mom gave me a hug, and I was hit with all the sprays of perfume she'd used. "Oh, it's just Jess and her parents," she said. "I got a big tray from Ben & Irv. I hope that's OK with you, I know it's maybe not as good as the food you eat all the time, but this is lighter. Better for breaking the fast."
I have grilled cheese for lunch three days a week, and I love those little cups of Jell-O pudding. Most other chefs I know eat in a similar way.
"I didn't realize Jess was in town."
"It never happens, so when Aunt Karen called me and said she was here, I had to have them over."
"All right."
"Did you hear about her new show?"
"I did not. What's it all about?"
"I'll let Karen tell you, so exciting. You're going to love it."
I walked out and to the living room where my dad had appeared and was now talking to his brother. Jess was sitting on the couch typing away on her phone, and her mother was next to her, looking over her shoulder as if proofreading Jess's Facebook comments.
"Hi," my dad said as he gave me a one arm hug.
My uncle said, "Good to see you, Caleb," and then shook my hand with his hairy paw.
"Yeah, surprise," I said. Then I looked over at Jess and said, "Hey."
"Hey, Caleb," she said without looking up from her phone. Her hair was in a pony-tail and fell over her shoulder, the tips nearly grazing the screen. She wore a pink t-shirt, spandex running pants, and sneakers.
My dad and uncle each had on khakis and polos. I wore jeans and a button down with French cuffs. My mother wore a dress.
High holidays must mean something different on Twitter.
"Caleb!" My aunt stood up and gave me a big hug. "So glad we get to see you over the holidays. You said hi to Jess?"
"Well, yes. Just a second ago."
"She has to keep up with her fans."
"She has so many fans since her new show came on this month."
"Right, my mom told me about it. What exactly is it all about?"
Jess had been the traffic girl on some cable network up in New York City for the last few years. Not even the weather girl, because that would require a degree.
"It's a cooking show."
"She has all these celebrities come on and share recipes with the audience. You would love it. Natalie from The Today Show was on with Jess last week and made these chocolate cookies to die for."
"Oh, it's tremendous, I have clips on my phone, let me show you."
As she brought out her phone, which was in some sort of bejeweled case, I said, "Thanks Aunt Karen, maybe in a minute, I just need to excuse myself."
I walked past my dad and uncle and upstairs to the bathroom. I locked the door, turned on the fan, and splashed water on my face. A lot of water, like they do in the movies. I soaked my skin, and when I looked up into the mirror a few wet locks of hair were hanging down over my forehead and there were dark patches on my shirt. This is why no one does it in real life.
Fucking cooking show.
Earlier that day, before getting in the car to go to my parents' house, I walked through the empty dining room of my restaurant, sweeping up anything we'd missed last night, just as I would if we were opening at the usual time. But then I did another walk through, swept again. All for no one.
I've always closed the restaurant on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, even though I don't go to shul and I don't fast. It just feels right.
After sweeping I set the tables by the street side windows, in case anyone looked in. I even considered lighting candles on them but figured that if the place burned down insurance wouldn't cover it. I went outside and looked at them, came back in and tugged at the tablecloths a little, then went back out and saw that they didn't look any different.
Last week, between the two holidays, my place had been written up in The New York Times. They'd said that if Michelin went to Pennsylvania, The Grouse would get a star.
I hadn't told my family about this. I knew what my mom would say: "Michelin? The tire people? They're here, I have them on my Altima." It wouldn't be worth the explanation.
When I left I locked the door and shook it for a few seconds to make sure it was bolted. Then I stepped back and looked at my place, my gastro-pub away from things. I knew every employee by name, and several customers as well. I used every culinary skill I had for that menu, taught myself the economics of restaurants to open it, and built a small but loyal following of local foodies.
But when I got in the car to go home I felt my stomach tighten at the thought of telling my parents about my greatest accolade to date.
Once Aunt Karen told me about Jess, though, I knew that no review could compare.
I opened the bathroom drawers and found a comb to put my hair back into place, then dabbed a towel at my shirt so it would dry as quickly as possible. I went downstairs to the dining room, where my mother was putting down the place settings.
"Mom, where is Jordan?"
"He had a surgery today," she said. "He'll be here."
I went back to the living room and poured myself a generous Hendricks and tonic. Then I sat on one of the chairs in the corner of the room, the ones there more for decoration than anything, and tried to subtly fan my shirt.
My mother came in from the kitchen and sat on the couch next to Aunt Karen and Jess.
"So," my mom said, "tell me how Hoda was in person."
"Oh, her scone recipe was wonderful," Karen said. "And she was so nice. Right, Jess?"
Jess looked up and smiled. "Oh yeah. A beautiful person. And the energy she had was just amazing."
I wondered if Jess even heard who my mom had asked about.
"I knew it," my mom said.
That old joke about the first Jewish president, how his mother looked at the person next to her and said, "See him taking the oath? His brother's a doctor"—it's out of date. My brother's a doctor and my mother doesn't care about either of us.
He's just another Jewish thoracic surgeon.
And I'm just another self loather. Except that I'm not. My mother thinks I am because I don't serve matzo ball soup at The Grouse, at least not her idea of it. I include a touch of cayenne pepper in the matzo meal and serve it in a miso broth, but that doesn't count for her. That's not real matzo ball soup.
No one ever orders it anyway. I put it on the menu every April more out of guilt than anything else.
Mom thinks that my brother and I haven't done anything newsworthy.
Except that the BBC wrote a feature on Jordan when he worked on a way to perform lung lobectomies without having to keep a drainage tube in the patient's chest, which cuts post-op infection rates.
Even before the Times article, my restaurant was described by several sites and blogs as a deconstruction of traditional Pennsylvania country cooking. All I did was look at the local ingredients in north Montgomery County and think up the best dishes I could. They're venison heavy, which I thought would be a problem, but it's become my specialty.
My brother's a doctor, my uncle's a lawyer, all my parents' friends have grandchildren… no one seems to care about that.
Jess, though, she's on television. That's where the pride is now.
And as I watched Jess type on her phone I thought about what my father once said, that I ought to make my website more elaborate than a listing of the restaurant's hours, address, and menu. That I should be on Facebook and Twitter, that I should place a Google ad. He thinks the goal is filling tables, and an empty seat on a Wednesday night is revenue lost.
But that's not it.
I'm not into becoming a restaurateur, or all the reviews, nice as they are.
I'd say it's happiness, but that's like saying the most important thing about food is its goodness—totally meaningless.
My favorite moment so far while owning The Grouse was when I was having a beer at the bar and a customer came up to me and said, "I have never had a sauce like that with any type of sausage. What's in it?"
"Old Bay."
And then I talked to him about preparation, searing the sausages, getting a feel for the spices as I worked on the dish, how the first time I made it I couldn't even finish the food but by the fifth or six time I knew there was some proportion where the spice and the meat fit together perfectly as gears in a clock.
He asked about technique, utensils, temperature, and I offered to buy him a beer and discuss it, but he said that his wife was in the parking lot and he had to go. Another time then, we agreed.
We each made a bagel with cream cheese, lox, whitefish salad, and various vegetables. I made mine, pressed it down, then cut it in half. My mother did the same. My father and his brother didn't even try, they stretched their mouths open wide and bit into their sandwiches, ended up with bits of whitefish and tomato seeds on the sides of their lips.
Jess didn't eat a bagel. She took small portions of the fish and some vegetables, arranged them in a circle on her plate, and ate with one hand while she held her phone with the other, scrolling through something with flicks of her thumb.
No one really conversed. Their cheeks were like pouches, the kind I've seen on rodents, but as I thought that I caught myself doing the same thing, stuffing bite after bite into my mouth until I had to concentrate on chewing and swallowing. I thought that it must be the food—without rich flavors what's the point of taking your time? But I couldn't convince myself of that. It's just how I am around my family.
I didn't know who Natalie from The Today Show was and couldn't be quite sure if Hoda was a foreign name or a rapper's nickname. I had to look them up when I got home that night. But I knew neither of them could bake. I can't bake. There's this baker in Brooklyn who started off making amazing breads, just had a knack for it, but she wasn't satisfied. She started taking science classes at community college and designed the perfect brick oven, made her own fan layout in a custom design to improve convection. Now she makes a living selling her breads to five or so restaurants on the east coast. I tried to get some for The Grouse, but her secretary told me I'd be in the forties on the waiting list, then quoted me a price that would throw off my profit margin.
When I finally tasted her breads, it would have been worth it. They're so well baked that the hard crusts break almost without crumbs, and each bite melts when you chew it. I didn't know grains could do that.
But I'm sure Natalie's chocolate cookies are fantastic.
Jordan came in and slammed the door behind him, not out of anger but because he rushed.
"Sorry," he said. "People are dying on holidays too."
"You lost your patient?"
"We'll see," he said. "She's alive for now. Where's the food?"
My mother took him to the dining room and showed him the tray. He had an overflowing bagel on his plate in a few minutes and sat down on the couch next to Jess, then took a huge bite. He seemed to get more of it in his mouth than even my dad and uncle.
"Nothing gives you an appetite like having your hands in some poor girl's lungs for a few hours, right?"
"Come on, Jordan," I say.
"Sorry," he said, then he took another big bite. "Oh, and Jess, I heard about your show."
Jess looked up at Jordan for a second. "Thanks," she said. "Have you seen most of the episodes?"
"Haven't seen any," Jordan said. "I'm at work during the day."
"Oh, well, lots of people DVR it."
"Yeah, I have like four seasons of Archer I'm not willing to part with quite yet."
"OK," Jess said, then turned back down to her phone.
"She has a lot of Twitter fans," Aunt Karen said. "How did you find out about the show?"
"Your gynecologist works at my hospital," Jordan said. "Is that what you do there, kvell about your daughter? Because I'd hate to tell you what'd come out of my mouth if someone stuck a speculum anywhere near me."
"Jordan," my mother said. My dad laughed a little and tried to hide it by taking a sip of his drink.
My aunt held it together, with obvious effort. "I'm very proud of her," she said.
"I'm sure you are," Jordan said. "Hopefully celebrities are easier on food than they are on their marriages."
He took another bite and smiled at me. Then, with his mouth still half full, he asked, "When's Caleb going to be on?"
I felt myself sink into the cushion of my chair.
"Oh," Karen said, "that's an idea."
"Sure," my mom said, "That might be good promotion for your restaurant. What do you think, Jess?"
Jess's thumbs stopped moving for a moment, then started again, then she looked up. "Caleb," she said, "on the show? I don't know, I'll have to ask the producers." Then she smiled like she'd practiced doing it, which she probably had.
Jess and her parents left right after we had dessert: an assortment of pastries that came in a plastic container from the Acme down the road. As they walked out the door we all gave each other hugs, restrained ones, the single arm around the shoulder indicating the desire to seem polite but also the regret at ever having come in the first place. Jordan smiled wide the whole time like a child who knows he's done something wrong and is happy about the mischief he caused.
Mom and Dad then went to the kitchen and started cleaning up. Jordan went downstairs to turn on the baseball game, but I followed and stopped him before he picked up the remote control.
"What the fuck is the matter with you?"
"You're such a jackass," I said. "When it's just the four of us, whatever, but when we have guests at least one other person in this family ought to act civilized."
"Oh come on, lighten up, it's just the cousins. We haven't seen them since Zayda's funeral, who cares what they think of us?"
"Well why should they think badly of us?"
"Look, I'm sorry that my superego takes a break some days, or rather, that those days are awkward for my little brother."
"Some days?"
"I spent my afternoon cleaning the blood out of some fucker's lung so that in a few months she can breathe normally again, and then maybe look both ways when she rides her bike across a five way intersection. My attitude comes with doing that all the time."
"It comes with your fucked up mind."
"The job fucked up my mind. Or fucked it up worse. Welcome to the front lines of medicine, Caleb, you should hear the shit we say when someone dies. Maybe the next time we lose a patient I'll take the whole surgical team to The Grouse."
"I'd appreciate it if you didn't."
"Yeah, well, gas prices are a little high at the moment to drive out to you anyway. Can I watch baseball, now?" Jordan then grabbed the remote from the arm of the couch and let himself fall into the seat.
"How am I a part of this family?"
"Between the way you guys eat, the celebrity worship, your mouth—none of it makes sense to me."
"Oh, the poor, misunderstood chef. Sit down. Sit your aching fucking balls down and take a breath."
I did, I sat in the middle of the couch. Then I grabbed the remote from him. "I don't get baseball, either."
"Uncivilized," he said.
We sat in silence for a moment. Jordan started twiddling his thumbs, then reclined and put his feet up on the coffee table, then started to whistle.
"Shut up."
"Hey, you won't let me watch the game."
"I know I'm not under the same pressure you are, but you know what, I do feel a little misunderstood."
"Pressure? My job isn't a Queen song, there's no pressure. I just love fixing people. And not so they can live full happy lives, I love having done it. When someone walks out of the hospital who would have died without me I feel like my dick's as long as an eighteen wheeler."
"That's great, but it's not what I'm talking about."
"No, you're talking about your own unfathomable complexities without thinking about whether or not you understand someone else—your brother, even. You want to be liked, and appreciated, and told how good your sautéed pig colons are, and you feel like shit because Mom and Aunt Karen can't get enough of Jess's lavish celebrity chef lifestyle. But you won't even tell them about your New York Times article. You'd rather be misunderstood than give them a way to understand."
"How did you know about that?"
"I have a Google news alert set up for you."
"That's creepy."
"It'd be creepy if you were my new intern. You're my brother, I want to know what's up with you."
"So why don't you tell Mom and Dad? It'll stop the Jess kvelling."
"Yeah," I said, "that drives me nuts."
"Clearly. Do you know how many Twitter followers Jess has? A hundred and twelve."
"How do you know that?"
"Because I'm one of them. It's hilarious, her tweets are hardly in English."
"I've never seen a tweet. I don't even have an account."
"I know, get with the fucking 21st century already or move out to Amish country and make some gourmet butter. At least do a web search of Jess. The first thing that comes up is this blog called 'Jessica Schumer's Insane Outfits.'"
"So her biggest internet presence is dedicated to how she's got the same ability to coordinate clothes as a colorblind autistic child. You saw what she was wearing tonight. That was an insane outfit for atoning."
"None of that is really the point."
"Yes it is. If running your restaurant and making the food you do doesn't make you feel like you can rape and pillage through the whole state with impunity, let alone forget about your cousin's daytime TV segment who's biggest demographic is head trauma patients, then what the fuck are you doing?"
"Nothing makes me want to rape and pillage."
"It's a metaphor, Caleb."
"I know."
"Well there's your problem. When you put a new dish on your menu you ought to feel like that. When I finish a good arthroscopic wedge resection, I feel like I took that whore of a tumor and had my way with it so well that it asked to go again."
"That's disgusting."
"Whatever, I love it, and I just want it again and again. People think its great that I save lives, and I've used pickup lines about how wonderful it is to just see the patient live, but it's not about that. It's me versus the disease, and nothing's better than a victory."
"I doubt I'll ever have one."
"Then you're in the wrong line of work."
When I was back at The Grouse that weekend I looked at how many of which dishes we'd served in the last few weeks. Almost a third of our customers ordered the venison steak. That dish has never come up in a review. There's nothing special about it, the sous chef and I just decided it would be a good, simple dish, easy to prepare, hard to mess up, fill out the menu a bit. It's been our most popular dish.
My instinct was to make a sauce, a rub, a seasoning for it, something to make it more than a glorified piece of meat hacked off the side of a dead animal. But then, maybe people wouldn't order it.
Eight people in the last two weeks have ordered the terrine appetizer. I spent half a year getting that the way I wanted.
I walked back into the kitchen and asked one of the cooks to make me one.
Eight. It probably shouldn't even be on the menu in that case.
When mine was done, I took it out to the bar and poured myself a draft of Chimay to go with it.
I'm not taking it off the menu. Screw it that most of my customers order the salad or crab or garlic bread. This is good. It's so so good.

Finisar Rides the Trend but Lacks China Angle
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Finisar (FNSR: Nasdaq)
By MKM Partners ($19.32, June 17, 2016)
We are maintaining a Neutral rating on Finisar but we like the space.
We are positively inclined toward all of the 100G optical-component players including Oclaro (ticker: OCLR ) (rated at Buy, $6.50 price target), Lumentum Holdings ( LITE ) (rated at Buy, $28 price target), NeoPhotonics ( NPTN ) (not rated) and Finisar ( FNSR ).
We have a Neutral rating on Finisar because it has a much lower percentage of 100G revenue and higher exposure to 10G and 40G than the others. Also, it is not participating in the strong demand cycle for 100G long haul in China since it does not sell discrete components (modulator and lasers). Nevertheless, the trends at Finisar are currently positive. We were upbeat on the stock going into earnings, and we continue to see some upside potential in the shares toward our fair-value estimate.
We are increasing Finisar's estimates and raising our fair-value estimate to $21, from $19, based on 15 times our fiscal 2017 (next-12-months) earnings-per-share forecast of $1.21 plus $3 per share in net cash.
Finisar delivered an impressive beat-and-raise report, even though its Telecom sales came in at only $76 million (down 16% quarter-over-quarter) versus our $94 million estimate. 100G Datacom (QSFP28, CFP1/2/4) sales were up more than 20% quarter-over-quarter and 40G Datacom (QSFP) grew sequentially and was better than expected. The company did poorly in 10G Telecom and had capacity constraints in WSS/ROADMs. However, the forward looking WSS/ROADM commentary is strong, and even the 10G Telecom outlook is decent. Importantly, the gross margins (GMs) and the GMs guidance were a little better than expected.
Finisar had one 10%-plus customer in the quarter, which we believe was Huawei Technologies [of China]. Management is not seeing any inventory build in any of its products going into China. In fact, its Chinese customers are telling it that orders will be up sequentially in both quarters of the second half of calendar 2016, and Finisar is adding capacity to accommodate this anticipated order growth. We think some of the weakness in 10G Telecom that Finisar saw in the April quarter was due to timing of vendor-managed inventory (VMI) pulls from a large customer. Management says this customer (which we assume to be Huawei) has already taken significant 10G Telecom product in the first half of the July quarter. According to our understanding, Finisar sells 100G Datacom, 40G Datacom, 10G Telecom and Datacom and lower than 10G transceivers for Wireless applications in China.
Finisar management expects strong 100G Datacom demand to continue. It also sees better sequential growth in WSS/ROADMs in the current quarter due to capacity additions. It is hopeful on the important ROADM certification, but says it does not require this to grow WSS/ROADMs nicely in the fiscal first quarter. The revenue guidance of $223 million-$243 million, GMs outlook of 31% and EPS guidance of 27 cents-33 cents compare to our prior $224 million, $30.9% and 27 cents estimates, respectively.

Tattooed Immigrant |Wins Asylum Review
(CN) – Before deporting a convicted thief, immigration authorities must consider reports that El Salvadorian police and gangs harass, persecute and kill tattooed criminal deportees, the 9th Circuit ruled, reviving a heavily inked man's bid for asylum.
Gregory Stuart Aguilar-Ramos faces deportation based on his two convictions for second-degree robbery and petty theft with priors.
He sought asylum, claiming he feared that El Salvadorian police and gangs would target him because of his "multiple tattoos" and "status as a deportee from the United States," according to the ruling.
An expert on policing and gangs in El Salvador testified that deportees like Aguilar face two to six years in jail, death or serious injury in prison, harassment by police or military patrols – even death by death squads, which reportedly operate "with the awareness of the government," the ruling states.
The immigration judge denied Aguilar's petition, citing his failure to prove that he likely faced torture in El Salvador. The Board of Immigration agreed.
But their decisions were overturned by a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit, which ruled that the failure to consider country conditions "constitutes reversible error."
In a footnote, the panel expressed "grave concerns" that Aguilar has been detained for four years without a bond hearing. Judge Harry Pregerson said such a detention "qualifies as prolonged by any measure" and encouraged Aguilar to challenge it.
"If he makes such a request, we remind the [immigration judge] that the government bears the burden of establishing that Aguilar-Ramos is a flight risk or a danger to the community," Pregerson wrote.

Ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix, a lot of the chitter chatter in the paddock revolved around the possible second retirement of a certain Michael Schumacher.
The Mercedes driver had up to that point had a poor 2012 World Championship, scoring just two points and ending the Spanish Grand Prix in the gravel trap after crashing into the Williams of Bruno Senna.
But following this past weekend in Monaco the talks surrounding Schumacher appears to be altering.
While before the race Mercedes chief executive officer Nick Fry had quite openly talked about the teams interest in Force India's Paul di Resta, the talk afterwards was all about Schumacher possibly agreeing a new deal with the team.
Asked if he wanted Michael Schumacher to continue racing beyond 2012, Mercedes team boss Ross Brawn told the BBC: 'I think it would be everyone's wish.'
'We always said Michael himself will know when it's time to retire and after a performance like that why should he?'
Brawn was of course referring to the masterful lap that the former seven-time Formula One World Champion completed during qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix.
It's fair to say that no-one really saw that lap coming, but the German took the fastest lap of Q3 to top the timing sheets.
He wasn't able to take pole position however due to a five-place grid penalty which had been handed to him after he rear ended Bruno Senna in Spain.
That paragraph above really highlights the current issues with Schumacher, while he may still show glimpses of his brilliance, he has been prone to mistakes since his return, which has in-part at least been the reason why he still only has two points to his name following the opening six races of the season.
Schumacher told the media: 'You imagine that just because of one result I've done at this moment I'm suddenly restarting or opening a different subject. No, that's not the case.
'I'm focused on what I'm doing right now. There will come a time when I will make summary of everything and then I will sit down with the team to see what we're going to do.'
Brawn hopeful over Schumacher
Ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix, a lot of the chitter chatter in the paddock revolved around the possible second retirement of a certain Michael Schumacher.

The Internet would really, really like to know what is going on with Lorde's eye. It's a very important question that has plagued New York Fashion Week since Lorde showed up with a red and swollen eye. The hurt (or infected) eye is visible in photos taken during Fashion Week, including this amazing photo with her and Drake.
On Wednesday, Lorde posted a few photos of her swollen eye to Instagram. In the first one, she captioned the pic, "one question: what happened to your eye?" But she offered no answer, as fans went wild speculating and begging her for more details.
"The skin is peeling off my lips and hands these days i very rarely see the sun and my eye is weeping and screaming and it's fashion week and everyone already thinks i'm strange and it's a kanye show where the freaks are beautiful so why not say fuck it and let's dance with the melodrama?" she captioned the second Instagram.
She also tweeted the same question, along with a few new photos as she got her makeup done.
She never clarified what was wrong with her eye or offered any further explanation. But judging from the longer Instagram post, it seems as though Lorde is basically saying she's exhausted, doesn't get to go out much anymore (while she's busy working on her new album), and when she finally has a chance to something fun (like seeing Kanye West's Yeezy show), this thing happens to her eye and threatens to ruin her good time.
So Lorde basically said, "Screw this," put her makeup on her good eye, and headed out. And it looks like she did have a great time, in an update she added later.
"The show was crazy I got to wear sneakers and had the best bear hug from Drizzy and now I'm in bed in a sweater editing something cool for you guys to see very soon," Lorde said.
And that's how you totally kick the ass of a crappy thing. Bravo, Lorde.

This luxurious rosewood/spruce acoustic-electric Grand Auditorium reaches new levels of performance thanks to Taylor's patented V-Class bracing. By coaxing a more orderly response from the top, this game-changing bracing design allows the 814ce DLX to produce more powerful notes everywhere on the fretboard, along with stronger projection, longer sustain, and improved intonation, creating a more musical and expressive playing experience for guitarists.
The classic pairing of Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce sparkles with new intensity thanks to the new internal bracing architecture, bringing out more of rosewood's naturally warm overtones and producing clear, bell-like highs. Premium details include a radius-style rosewood armrest and Gotoh 510 tuners that feature a precise 21:1 gear ratio, delivering an ultra-smooth playing experience. And with deluxe features like maple binding, mother-of-pearl Element fretboard and peghead inlays, a smoky ebony fretboard, rosewood top trim, and maple fretboard/peghead purfling lines, it's easy to see why the 814ce DLX is one of our most appealing rosewood models.

Some courses will include "shortcuts" in the obstacles for the smaller children.
Hejsager Football-golf offers an 18-hole course, with plenty of opportunities to challenge friends or family and enjoy a nice day together. There is a large, covered terrace with a barbecue, where you can enjoy a picnic and drinks (if you would like to use the barbecue, please bring your own coal). You will also find the storage room for balls and toilet facilities next to the terrace.
Parking: There are parking spaces available. At the parking lot you will find small pull-carts, which you are allowed to bring with you around the field.
Getting the equiptment: You will pay and get the balls and scorecards next to the covered terrace. When you are finished with the balls, you must return them to the storage room.

Years ago we attempted to buy coffee in bags that did not contain plastic. But now all industry has shifted, and we have little choice. The farmers, shippers, and brokers, and, well, most roasters prefer plastic. As plastic entered the market it made sense. Roasters would tell you the coffee has a better taste, and everyone agrees that it can protect coffee from rain, humidity changes, and contamination. Coffee itself is breathing in a way, green unroasted coffee seeds contain trapped moisture, oils, proteins and sugars. Coffee produces (off gases) carbon dioxide, and the moisture between each seed as they lay nestled together mixes and swaps, eventually evening out. Plastic can keep things fresh, and flavors from degrading, increasing shelf life, and protecting from damage due to outside elements.
First coffee is put into a plastic "GrainPro" bag, and then inside a burlap, or jute, or other kind of fabric bag. Burlap bags have many other uses, and many people want to re-purpose them. GrainPro is a very thick plastic, think of a super industrial garbage bag. The bags are huge, way bigger than a household garbage can, and so thick it just does not seem suitable.
These bags are great for using on our delivery runs to keep our coffee dry, and our bags dry, and one bag could last a year getting re-used over and over. They are not really single use because they are so tough and thick. if anyone needs a nice bag for the winter or has a plan let us know. we have been storing all the grainpro for years and now have quite a large amount.

The Free Press Salutes Central Ohio Activists Arrested in Washington DC: Bob Hart, Marilyn Welker, Ellen Baumgartner and Chuck Lynd
Central Ohio activists Marilyn Welker, Bob Hart, Ellen Baumgartner and Chuck Lynd were among the 400 people arrested on the steps of the US Capitol during the "Democracy Spring" – one of the largest civil disobedience actions since the Vietnam War protests, demanding a democracy that works for everyone. They were supported by another Central Ohioan, Kathleen Gmeiner. Between April 11th-18th, 1,300 people were arrested.
"Money ain't speech, corporations aren't people" was the main theme of the coalition of groups organized around various democracy and movement issues, but all with the underlying understanding that in order to see the change we want we must first eliminate the distorting influence of big money on our legislators and our democracy. As a build-up to the week of civil disobedience 150 marchers from 33 states walked 140 miles from the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia to the Freedom Bell in Washington DC. Along the way, they built community, spoke with thousands and attracted major media attention to the cause of our time, the corporate ownership of both major parties and the slavish devotion of Congress to the interests of the one percent. Many of the walkers also engaged in the sit-ins and were arrested.
Writer Chris Hedges, who was also arrested during the Democracy Spring sit-ins, had this to say: "The hundreds of arrests this past week have been largely ignored by a corporate media whose lobbyists are a familiar presence on Capitol Hill. The mass media's blackout of the largest number of arrests at the Capitol in decades is one of innumerable examples of our corporate coup d'état. Corporate power will be overthrown only from the streets in sustained acts of civil disobedience." Hedges continued, "We will have to do this together. No one will do it for us. And as the numbers in the streets swell—and I will be with the protesters in Washington again on Monday—the corruption of our political system becomes ever more apparent."
Leaders in this emerging pro-democracy movement plan on expanding it throughout the country. "Despite this unprecedented call to action, the congressional leadership did nothing," Kai Newkirk, the campaign director of Democracy Spring, explained. "Now we will take the battle into their offices in D.C., their home districts and to their fundraisers, to the party conventions and beyond."

As the mother of four, Elizabeth Benedict of Elizabeth Home Decor & Design in Chestnut Hill is as adept at mediation as she is at mixing color and pattern. So when a project in Wellesley hit a bump — the client's 5-year-old daughter wasn't happy with the plan to paint her bedroom pink — Benedict didn't bat an eye. Rather than abandon the vibrant fabrics already selected, she threw even more pattern into the mix and proposed a saturated peachy hue for the walls. "There's a continuity of color, but we play with size and texture," she says. "You can put as many patterns in a room as you want, as long as they vary in scale."
1. The pattern of the Robert Allen Lattice Bamboo fabric in the Roman shades plays off the textural patterning of the ceramic garden stool used as a side table next to the chair.
2. A swivel rocker made sense for storytime. The Duralee Sedgewick fabric, in a lively ikat pattern that incorporates the colors used in the room, was the starting point for the overall design.
3. The bold headboard fabric, Kravet Cumulus by Diane Von Furstenberg, anchors the bed, which is the room's focal point. Custom pillows and the cushion on the chest, covered in China Seas Nitik II fabric, add another layer of pattern.
4. The orange mat sets off the needlepoint lion, which the homeowner's mom stitched in 1971.
5. "The paint color, Benjamin Moore's Hugs & Kisses, while not pink, is still very girly," Benedict says. "It makes a statement but allows the textiles to pop."
6. The Worlds Away floral pendant light, made from capiz shells, has a quiet femininity and provides a burst of color against the ceiling. "A chandelier would have been too over the top," Benedict says.

Crossing the border that separates rival fans is always a dangerous game. Football tribalism is alive and well, certainly, no matter how many mercenaries and foreign owners dilute the traditions of a club.
Just ask Luis Figo after he turned to face the braying crowd after a pig's head had been thrown from livid Barcelona fans furious at the Portuguese international for daring to play for Real Madrid.
It wasn't the pig's head that left its mark upon Figo that day however, but a banner which summed up the problem of running off with the neighbour.
"We hate you so much, because we loved you so much" read the pathos laden sign, driving home not only the angry backlash those who dare to run the gauntlet face, but the emotion that is at stake.
And now it is Alex McLeish's turn to face the music. Having stepped down from his post with Birmingham City via email, the Scot has run into the grateful arms of Aston Villa.
Angry fans protested and the blogosphere quivered with rage, but owner Randy Lerner went ahead and did it anyway. Whether he is brave or foolish remains to be seen, but the American has certainly incensed the crowd who were still indignant from the departure of Martin O'Neil and the appointment of Gerard Houllier.
Around 1000 fans congregated upon Villa Park to express their displeasure at the imminent appointment of the former Birmingham boss, while one fan threatened to burn his shirt if McLeigh was the next manager of his club.
Immature yes. Futile, definitely. Misguided, almost certainly. But admirable in some respects, definitely.
Football is littered with examples of this type of move, both successful and unsuccessful. It is for the Villa fans to react to the appointment either positively or negatively without being judged for over-reaction or treachery.
Without their passion, misguided or not, football would be worse off and now it is up to McLeish to win them over. If, in 12 months, Villa find themselves in the top five, all will be forgotten, and the anger that met his appointment will at the very least have melted away into begrudging respect.
So do not blame the Villa faithful for their reaction. It's built upon an innate feeling drummed into them from youth, and it is something that makes the game what it is.

Nearly all of you reading this, especially those most seasoned within the iGaming community, will have come across 100% deposit bonuses before, but what of 400% ones? Although they're not as common as their lower valued sisters, they do appear at select online casinos every now and again. In fact, if you do your research alongside reading this brief overview, you may discover they're more readily available than you first thought.
When it comes to 400% deposit deals, they're typically included as part of a welcome package, with most casinos that offer them. Not only does this give you great insight into the mentality of the brand and the types of rewards it gifts its users, but it also helps enormously when it comes to finally playing the games. The beauty of such a substantial injection of bonus monies is that you have up to five times what you deposited, which is worth far more than the doubling up that 100% deposit bonuses deliver.
- Deposit PackageUp to £100 cash & 30 Wager-Free spins (+10 Free Spins no deposit required)Launched2012New eligible UK players only. No deposit required & new players only. Claim from "My Offers" within 3 days of registration & 3 day expiry. 10 free spins worth £0.10 each on Book of Dead, winnings paid as cash. Full T&Cs apply. New players only across two deposits. Cash rewards: 7 days from registration to opt-in from "My Offers" page & each with 7 days wagering. Deposit £10, £25 or £50 & wager 35x. Only cash stakes qualify & wagering contributions vary. 10 free spins worth £0.10 to be claimed within Book of Dead with each qualifying deposit, 3 day expiry. Play Responsibly. 18+ begambleaware.org. Full T&C's Apply.VisitWelcome Bonus400% up to 4000$Launched2009400% match + $75 free chip on first deposit. Coupon: LUCKYRED400; Wagering 30X; Games: Slots, Keno and Scratch Cards; $75 Free Chip Bonus Terms: Wagering 50X; Max Cashout 10X; Games: Slots, Keno & Scratch Cards. Must have deposited using either Mastercard or Bitcoin.Visit
Nevertheless, while the hefty welcome bonus will always go down a treat, it's worth noting that due to the size of such offerings, you'll rarely get other extras included alongside the money. For example, 100% deposit bonuses might have free spins thrown in to help amp up the entertainment value, whereas 400% deals more than likely won't. This however, isn't a bad thing, as sometimes the free spins we're gifted as new users are wasted due to the additional wagering requirements (wr) that are placed on top of the bonus rollovers.
If free spins are included, which there are some deals currently active that deliver this, you'll generally receive under 20 free games. Please keep in mind that, should you get both deals, the spins may have a separate wr to the bonus money. Not many casinos do this, but the odd brand do split the two to give the appearance of a lower wr than they actually provide. Speaking of wr, even with 400% bonuses, they still tend to remain below x50, usually set at x35, which is the average for most online casino deals of this nature.
In regards to qualifying for one of the aforementioned deals, just with any deposit bonus, you'll need to make an allocation of funds, usually over £20. Sometimes you'll be able to deposit less, but given the size of the deal, online casinos often ask for a slightly larger transaction to get the ball rolling. Furthermore, you may need to utilise a promo code in order to access the deal, though if this is the case, the online casino you're a member of will inform you of this before you take out the deal. This is where reading the fine print of any iGaming bonus becomes a must for all walks of players, even if you're a novice and/or casual fan.

One of the interesting features of ionized water is the stability of its cluster structure and, accordingly, informational properties, which is ensured by the presence of a stabilizing effect on the part of silver ions that are embedded in the cluster structure and affect the electromagnetic interactions of its constituent water quanta. Ionized water penetrates faster and more easily into body tissues, ensuring high bioavailability of information recorded in its structure. The transfer of information properties and storage of information in the structure of ionized water significantly extends the shelf life of such information devices and their bioavailability, excluding changes in sanitary indicators of water quality. In addition, the ionization of water with silver, even ideally purified, from the point of view of biochemistry, makes it possible to get rid of unwanted informational and toxic prints of objects that have ever been in contact with it, thereby significantly increasing its quality. One of the main advantages of this device is the ability to record information properties on cold water, bypassing the boiling and charging of intermediate carriers. In addition, at present, water enriched with silver ions is successfully used in the practice of ophthalmology, gynecology, otolaryngology, surgical practice, dermatology, pulmonology, dentistry .... as a natural universal immunomodulator and antibacterial agent.
Repeatability and stability of results allows to speak about high quality of the information preparations received in such a way. Active reprinter allows to prepare as inverse copies of initial models (nozode, pathological conditions).

Vision Guided Robotics (VGR) systems enable flexible use of robots in today's changing industrial environments. INFAIMON is a multinational company dedicated exclusively to the artificial vision and image analysis technology, and their InPicker solution collects, evaluates, and identifies object data for picking and placing components in automotive, pharmaceutical, logistics and e-commerce applications.
Together with Conecta2 Automotion, INFAIMON developed a 3D picking application for picking and handling randomly stacked rubber gaskets from conveyor belts.
The gaskets are made of black, light-absorbing rubber which combined with arbitrary orientations is particularly hard to capture consistently with typical imaging systems. INFAIMON uses the Zivid One Plus 3D color camera to overcome these challenges, using the 3D camera's speed, accuracy, and high dynamic range to reliably detect and separate the objects.
Using the Zivid One, the InPicker tool recognizes and determines the position of the stacked objects and handles collision avoidance in real-time so the robot gripper performs correct and safe extraction of the gaskets.
Zivid One Plus comes in 3 models optimized for short and long work distances, and its white light source provides a safe work environment for human operators when the camera is mounted either next to or directly on the robot arm.
Salvador Giro, CEO of INFAIMON:
We have worked with vision solutions the last 25 years, and the quality of data required in today's growing vision-guided robotics is only made possible with Zivid One from Zivid.
