First, there is the obligatory peeing scene. What is it about male characters of a certain age that we must, within pages of meeting them, accompany them to the toilet for a pee? In Nice Work, we get two paragraphs of peeing a mere page after we first encounter middle-aged executive Victor Wilcox. To be fair, it's not Lodge's fault that I'm weary of this. It's the first time I've witnessed it in one of his books, and the other examples that come to mind are from novels that were published later (Mordecai Richler's Barney's Version and Ian McEwan's Saturday). Nevertheless, I would prefer to have the protagonist's humanity/vulnerability signalled to me in a more novel way.
Shortly after the peeing ceases, Vic shaves, and he is described to us as he appears to himself in the mirror. Is this not unforgivably cliché? The sort of thing that creative writing students are told to avoid at all costs?
Finally, at the close of the first chapter, there is the ridiculous breast simile. Vic has a colleague who is a bit of a stage mother and she is forever pressing the portfolio of her would-be model daughter upon him. On the morning that the novel opens, Vic is startled by recent, um, developments in the latest set of photographs:
The pouting weak-chinned face under the blonde curls is familiar enough, but the two huge naked breasts, thrust towards the camera like pink blancmanges tipped with cherries, are a new departure."
Pink blancmanges tipped with cherries? I admit that I have very little experience with blancmange and it may well be customarily served in a distinctive breast-like shape. But a wobbly pudding doesn't strike me as a particularly apt comparison for seventeen-year-old breasts. And I could have done without the cherries. I have yet to see nipples that approximate the shape or the colour of cherries.
Here too though it's not so much this particular passage that gets to me as it is the ubiquity of such ridiculous breast similes in contemporary fiction. I won't offer up further examples as I'm sure the above-quoted passage will bring me more than enough misdirected google traffic on its own—visitors who will no doubt be as dissatisfied with what they find here as I am with the first chapter of Nice Work.

Canterbury TalesBook - 1992
The precise, unerring, delicately emphatic characterizations for which The Canterbury Tales is so famous are no more extraordinary than Chaucer's utter mastery of English rhythms and his effortless versification. Ranging from animal fables to miniature epics of courtly love and savagely hilarious comedies of sexual comeuppance, these stories told by pilgrims on the way to the shrine of Thomas à Becket in Canterbury reveal a teeming, vital fourteenth-century English society on the verge of its Renaissance.
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
Baker & Taylor
The poem, in the original Middle English, is accompanied by background information, notes, and marginal glosses, and tells the story of a group of travelers on a pilgrimage

Launched on January 21, the first Canadian Investment Review online debate of 2010 is well underway.
As a major force on economic stability, real estate has historically been a solid investment. But returns don't come easy, as we saw in 2008-2009. Plan sponsors have to dig deep and have faith. Is now the time to invest in real estate? Is it only a big plan's game, or can smaller plans take the plunge?
Each of the participants have weighed in with opening statements and rebuttals. Moderator, Peter S. Jarvis, executive director of the Toronto CFA Society noted that whenever an investment program is begun, added to or adjusted the question of timing cannot be ignored, particularly when dealing in illiquid asset classes. The why may seem obvious, but the reasons are worth repeating.
Votes are streaming in and now stand at 70% pro and 30% against investing in real estate. Calvin Jordan, Chief Executive Officer with the NSAHO pension plan has posted their organizations case study in his guest analysis and is definitely worth the read.

Cursus, 1838. [L., f. currere run.] The Latin word for COURSE; occas. used for a. A running ground or drive; b. A stated order of daily prayer. (Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, 1973)
Over the past six or seven years, the range and quality of aerial imagery available has increased exponentially. Prior to the release of Google Earth and Bing, aerial archaeology searches were carried out by accessing aerial images from various state and institutional collections (see Lambrick, 2008). Access to these collections was not always widely available. Arguably, the net effect was that such views of the Irish landscape were the sole preserve of professionals, academics and ardent amateurs. The situation changed dramatically in 2005 when both Google Earth and Bing Maps were released as free applications. Coupled with vastly improved internet connections, access to high quality aerial imagery was now widely, and instantly available and it could be accessed from the comfort of the viewer's own home. Interested amateurs and professionals alike could now patrol vast areas and detect archaeology – much of which had not been recorded. Irish aerial archaeology is in a particularly rich position in this regard. If a likely site is detected, it can be compared in a moment with the existing online database hosted by the National Monuments Service. Their outstanding GIS (Geographical Information System) service is unparalleled in these islands. Not only does the system record the precise location of each and every known monument, it also allows the user to toggle between views of aerial photography and historic mapping. With a little time and practice, users can become quite proficient in the use of both the National Monuments and Ordnance Survey GIS services and by using these as tools to cross reference potential finds, new sites can be identified or eliminated. However, the resolution falls somewhat short of that on offer from the more recent sources: see plates 1 and 2 for comparison.
The range, quality and depth of information available to the Irish landscape archaeologist is now simply staggering. And quite a few enthusiastic amateurs have taken to using the resources with a fair degree of success (see http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=623). The image shown in Plate 1 was mentioned in the Boards.ie forum, briefly discussed and largely forgotten about until that is, Christiaan Corlett asked if this writer would be interested in visiting the site.
The journey to Keadeen should have taken no more than half an hour or so, but this part of the world plays strange tricks on the natural compass. Some one and a half hours late, I arrived at the agreed meeting place.
Up and over the southern flank of Keadeen and halfway down again to visit a curious built stone structure (Plate 3). This turned out to be a probable shepherd's hut, of unknown date though possibly modern. It is just about large enough to hold one grown man. Protection from the elements is scarce on this mountainside and no doubt constructing this shelter would have repaid the effort many times over.
This was very definitely a mission. A few snaps of the shepherd's hut, a little scout around and we were off again – straight up the mountain. We rounded the summit into the teeth of a blistering gale – the value of the shelter immediately became obvious. When my eyes stopped watering, the unfolding panorama took my breath away.
Laid out below Keadeen is an intriguing prehistoric landscape. To the west and a little to the north, are the hillfort complexes of Spinan's hill (RMP/SMR no. W1027 – 078002) and Brusselstown (W1027 – 018). South of the hillforts, is the site known locally as the Griddle Stones or Boleycarrigeen stone circle (SMR W1027 – 039). On the summit itself, a well preserved cairn almost certainly contains at least one passage grave (Herity, 1974. SMR W1027 – 044). Immediately below, is a large enclosure containing hut sites and a standing stone (Corlett, 2004. W1027 – 043007).
Between the uppermost structure (the cairn) and the enclosure, we have an enigmatic and perhaps misunderstood class of prehistoric monument – the cursus. The first thing to strike the observer standing on the verge of the upper section of the cursus, is that this is constructed on very steep ground with an estimated run/rise ratio of 1:4 or 45º. There is little that encourages the visitor to descend between the banks but this is the only apparent pointer to a directed descent/ascent; there are no obvious zig-zag paths to soften either the approach. The area defined by the two banks is just under 300m long, 35m wide and runs in an east-northeast/west-southwesterly direction. The banks are now covered in heather and turf but were almost certainly constructed with loose stone gathered from the slopes of the mountainside.
With a little artistic license, the cursus and the cairn can be seen to form a vertex of an equilateral triangle transposed onto the major monuments (Plate 5.). This tells us little about the function of the cursus of course, but it may assist perception of possible relationships in the landscape below. Which brings us to the question of the relationship of the upper monuments with the landscape below.
The most intuitive way to relate one monument or prehistoric feature to another, is probably through an analysis of their alignment. The Keadeen cursus is oriented on an east northeast – west southwest axis. The tallest stones of Boleycarrigeen stone circle stand at the north-northeastern sector of the circle. A sightline from the possible entrance through the tallest stones, results in a wild miss (Plate 6.). Tentatively, we can say the stone circle does not appear to relate to the cursus or cairn. The large enclosure below holds a standing stone (W1027-043002) and this appears to be approximately in line with the axis of the cursus. Indeed the cursus may well 'aim' at the northern half of the enclosure. Is this enough to say that the enclosure relates to the cursus? Perhaps, perhaps not.
All we can say at this point, is that there does not appear to be good grounds for the cursus relating to known monuments below, in terms of physical alignment alone. Contemporary builders were perfectly capable of constructing monuments dedicated to celestial events, so we should expect that these builders were perfectly capable of aligning relatively close earthworks with each other. The cursus certainly seems not to relate to the tallest stones in Boleycarrigeen, so we can reasonably assume that the cursus does not align with nearby monuments.
It is possible that the cursus aligns with some celestial event, independently of the landscape at its feet. Perhaps this earthwork was constructed to point to some not yet known event but it is a certainty that the sun did not feature. Here we enter the hazy realm of ritual and procession. We need to consider the cursus from the point of view of a punishing procession: perhaps a more severe form of pilgrimage than today's Lough Derg or Croagh Patrick. One feature of the cursus casts significant doubt on the ritualistic theory. The lowest end or terminus, is a cul-de-sac. A rough scree barrier effectively blocks passage between the two banks. Clearly, who or whatever was meant to move between these banks was meant to stop at the lowest end, or start. They were not meant to pass through. That would be a peculiar sort of pilgrimage.
One of the more striking features to note is the relationship of the cairn to the banks of the cursus. Two observations are worth mentioning: firstly, the cairn is not centred on the open (upper) end of the cursus and secondly, the height and width of the banks diminishes on approach to the cairn. It might be reasonable to conclude that the cursus predates the cairn and that the latter may have borrowed stone from the banks for its construction. Indeed the process continues with a recent isolated dry stone wall across the cairn. We cannot as yet, say with any certainty that the upper end was not enclosed and close scrutiny of plate 2 hints that there may have been an upper terminus. If the earthwork was constructed with the upper end left open, we can reasonably assume that this was the entrance.
Which brings us on to the question of an alternative purpose.
If we discard the ritual option for a moment, we need to start thinking about a practical function.
If, and this is as yet uncertain, the cursus was not constructed for ritualistic purposes; what other purpose might it have had? To answer this we need to see the mountain as a provider of resources. Constructing this massive earthwork must have taken a significant amount of organisation and commitment. This flank of the mountain slopes at least to forty degrees, maybe more. It is covered in ankle twisting scree and hidden cavities. and rises to a height of 635m. Just getting to the summit is hard work, working there all day in all weathers must have been tough. There needs to have been a substantial reward to justify the work.
And what sort of mighty ritual would have justified this work? Or was ritual its purpose at all?
Resources are scant on any mountain top. Heather, a light covering of turf, broken stone, grouse (if the heather is managed) little else – except visiting deer and the occasional hare. Deer are probably the only resource which would repay such a significant expenditure of energy.
In Scotland today, deer are hunted with high powered rifles capable of killing a stag instantaneously at ranges of three to five hundred metres. Even at those distances, hunters need stealth and guile and their position for the shot is always determined by the wind. In antiquity, we might be looking at an effective killing range of eight to ten metres, probably less. It would take a great deal of luck and skill to achieve this sort of killing range in a landscape devoid of cover. When a deer is hunted, the kill needs to be certain. If the animal is wounded, it will run and continue running until it dies. Recovery of the carcass if at all possible, might not be worth the risk or expenditure of energy. So our prehistoric deer hunters needed to get very close indeed and to achieve this on a barren landscape, they needed to be clever.
Might the cursus have been the solution to deer hunting on such a vast expanse of open ground? It is conceivable that an annual hunt might have taken place in these highlands. Perhaps to feed the inhabitants of the hillforts below. Scores of people would have been involved. There needed to be outlying runners to chase the animals towards the mountain top and scores more to direct them towards the killing ground. Finally, the animals would have been forced down the sheer slopes within the cursus, running in a blind panic over the wicked rocks. Many undoubtedly shattered and twisted their legs before reaching the terminus, where all sorts of weapons were assembled for the final act. Perhaps the banks of the cursus too were lined with people armed to despatch stragglers.
The question of alignment revisited.
The evaluation of the alignment possibilities between the stone circle at Boleycarrigeen and the cursus was not given the attention it deserved. Both myself and Christiaan had an inkling that there probably was some connection between the two but it was at the end of a long day, we were hungry and tired and probably not as sharp as we could have been.
The extent of our informal evaluation was a brief aim through the taller stones of the circle towards Keadeen's summit and that was a wholly inadequate way of looking at the question of an interrelationship between the stone circle and the cursus.
It was, however, perfectly clear that such a sightline could not relate to a solar event. So what of a lunar event? Could a lunar event have been visible from the stone circle and might that event have been framed by the mountain and defined by the cursus?
The line drawn on the image below shows projected moonrise on Keadeen on the 21st of December 2013 – the winter solstice, and how it will be visible from the stone circle. While the projection does not parallel the axis of the cursus exactly, the proximity to the highest point of the structure is striking.
So, summing up the question of lunar alignment between Boleycarrigeen stone circle and the cursus we can state this much: a sightline taken through the tallest stones of the stone circle towards moonrise on the winter solstice projects a line that is at roughly the same angle as the cursus. Perhaps more importantly, the point at which the moon will rise during the 2013 winter solstice is almost exactly at the highest point of the cursus.
Are these observations enough to state that the cursus was constructed to etch the path of a significant event onto the flanks of Keadeen? Were the lengthening days celebrated when the moon rose above the cursus?
Perhaps, perhaps not. Keadeen is a tall mountain and its bulk would have obscured the moment the moon lifted above the horizon. This raises further questions.
Entertaining the idea that the cursus did indeed mark this important moonrise, the moon itself would not be visible until it rose above Keadeen. It would have emerged further south – how much further, we'll leave to the astronomers. We'll need to look at other possible alignments too to test the hypothesis that the place where the moon became visible was somehow noted.
If it could be confirmed that the builders of these monuments knew where the moon would rise without visible confirmation, that would be rich food for the imagination. We would have to imagine a gathering in darkness with the significant moment being a celebration of darkness.

|The great pillars of American liberty
By Steve Farrell
What we do have is a 'certified copy' written by a man, Joel Barlow, who brought to publication Thomas Paine's diatribe against Christianity, "The Age of Reason," and whose motives might be described as suspect.
These Yale researchers then note that:
A "poor attempt at a paraphrase," "defects throughout," "obvious and glaring," "extremely erroneous," a "famous phrase … [that] does not exist at all"; of these I have little doubt.
To which Adams retorted, "If he was; I desire that my name may be blotted out forever, from its records." (4) For Barlow to even consider repeating this outrageous fallacy for the reading of future generations, demonstrated a tendency for easy manipulation by Paine, and if not that, then toward delusion, or rank dishonesty.
He then added:
Years later in a letter to Jefferson, Mr. Adams further elaborated on what he meant that day:
This is typical John Adams, the same man who laid it on the line quite clearly that "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people," that it was "wholly inadequate to the government of any other." (8)
He wasn't kidding. And the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, two world wars, the invention and perpetuation of mass murdering, liberty destroying communism and fascism, and now the socialist, world government promoting, secularist European Union on that continent, proved him prophetic. License is not liberty. The European Enlightenment with all of its anti-God, anti-private property, anti-limited government rhetoric is not the legacy this country's ancestors passed down to our children.

I love these cards and use them in my group classes and individual lessons. Parents will also find them a great addition to their home practice toolkit. I enthusiastically recommend them!
Mychal Gendron, Suzuki Program Chair at the Rhode Island Philharmonic Music School
I am so impressed with the work and creativity that has gone into the Suzuki guitar cards. They are a clever and attractive tool that will inspire young students to practice new pieces and review older repertoire. I plan to keep these cards on hand for all my students.

New Hires from DeVry take GE Healthcare Higher
The healthcare industry continues to show explosive growth: With 2012 as a baseline, it's projected to add more than 4 million jobs through 2022—surpassing any other industry, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Yet the insatiable appetite doesn't mean top employers, such as GE Healthcare, will compromise one iota on the employees they recruit.
"We continually strive to find the best talent to drive innovation," says Christine Eaton, a GE Healthcare HR Manager. And one of the places they find it: "DeVry University has constantly been a source of knowledgeable and forward-thinking graduates, and that's why we partnered with them."
That partnership, in fact, goes back to 2000, and has produced outstanding results on both ends of the pipeline. The company constantly recruits undergrads as interns, though things hardly stop there.
"When we hire DeVry grads, they come with a baseline technical skill set that translates very well to our field service background—one that we can easily build on," says Michael Reed, Director of Business Operations at GE Healthcare and based in Waukesha, Wisc.
Another big plus of the connection is that "as technology changes, DeVry changes with it." Reed cites information technology as an example: "Ten to 15 years ago, you didn't have a lot of devices in a hospital that were connected to each other. Today, everything sits in a network. DeVry makes sure their curriculum is based on what's happening in the real world."
Reed should know about how the school pivots with each new engineering wrinkle: He's a 1986 DeVry graduate. He's also witnessed the success of employees such as Jose Robles, who graduated in 2001 from the Addison campus. Today, he's a Modality Service Engineer, and his work takes him all over the Greater Chicagoland area to make sure equipment from MRI scanners to ultrasound machines run at peak performance.
Besides the superior engineering training, "DeVry taught me how to prioritize needs," Robles says. "To succeed at GE Healthcare, you have to be administrative, technical and communicate well. You have to multitask a lot; we'll handle several accounts with various needs. So learning those skills at DeVry allowed me to get to where I am now. It was a great experience—a life changing experience."
And from there, Robles has gone on to make a difference through his post with GE Healthcare.
"The work as I see it is life changing, too," he notes. "A doctor's going to read those MRI or ultrasound images and determine what kind of choices a person will have and how to plan accordingly. We take a lot of pride in our work and in our service—to give 100 percent to help our customers help care for patients." ________________________________________________________________________________________

Wednesday July 13, 2016 CrossFit Stapleton- Denver, CO
Are you an Athlete in the Kitchen?
Or just in the gym?
It's time to be both!
Let us show you why feeling and looking good is 90% Nutrition and 10% Physical Activity.
We have been working on a program to help YOU succeed in the kitchen. How do WEEKLY recipes, with detailed step by step instruction, and accompanied shopping lists dropped in your inbox every Friday sound?
What do you get?
For $5/week you will receive 5 (4 main meals and one breakfast) seasonal, chef inspired recipes that each makes 4-6 servings. These meals will feed a family of 4 dinner and breakfast Monday-Friday or an individual Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner all week. You choose how you would like to use them!
This program will be spreading across Colorado (and probably the world!) soon, but we wanted to test our basic 'menu offerings' to the CFS family first. This program will be much more expensive down the road, but your $20/mo rate will be locked in as long you are a member of CFS. All we ask from you is your honest feedback on the recipes and the shopping lists.
If you would like to receive a FREE week to see what the hype is all about email email@example.com to receive one 'Almost Paleo' menu plan. We are developing a strict paleo plan and a vegetarian plan that you can choose from down the road.
If you would like to sign-up for this program, please email firstname.lastname@example.com and we will add a $20/mo charge to your monthly membership at the gym. You will receive weekly recipes in your inbox (similar to what you see attached), for as long as you would like to stay on the program.

Drupal 6.0 Beta 4 ReleasedSubmitted by Ty on December 6, 2007 - 12:00pm
"Following on the third beta release two weeks ago, we are ready to present Drupal 6.0 beta 4. Since the previous beta release, we have committed over 80 fixes to the Drupal 6.x code. This beta version includes some usability improvements and lots of bug fixes for issues which the testers and contributed module upgraders encountered."
scaling drupal step two - sticky load balancing with apache mod_proxySubmitted by Ty on October 26, 2007 - 2:00pm
"If you've setup your drupal deployment with a separate database and web (drupal) server (see scaling drupal step one - a dedicated data server), a good next step, is to cluster your web servers. drupal generates a considerable load on the web server and can quickly become resource constrained there. having multiple web servers also increases the the redundancy of your deployment. as usual, my examples are for apache2, mysql5 and drupal5 on debian etch."
Drupal 6.0 Beta 2 ReleasedSubmitted by Ty on October 18, 2007 - 11:00am
"Our first Drupal 6 beta version was released just over a month ago, so given the large number of usability improvements and bug fixes that we've added since then, we're proud to announce the release of the second beta version of Drupal 6.x for your testing. This beta version includes all the latest security bug fixes as released in Drupal 5.3 and 4.7.8."
The Drupal Project's New Non-ProfitSubmitted by Ty on February 27, 2007 - 9:00am
"Drupal, the popular and widely used CMS, now has the backing of a non-profit association. Having grown in size and scope for the last six years, the Drupal software project needs more structured support with infrastructure, marketing and funding. The Drupal Association will help with these needs but will not be directly involved with Drupal software development. Donations are now being solicited. Plans for Corporate and individual membership are being drawn and will be announced at a later time. Dries Buytaert, the founder of Drupal and the President of the Association, announced the Association on Drupal.org today."
Drupal 5.0 ReleasedSubmitted by Ty on January 15, 2007 - 4:00pm
After 8 months of development the Drupal project is ready to release Drupal 5.0 to the world. Today is also Drupal's 6th birthday, so the timing could not be more perfect. Drupal 4.0 was released in 2002 and finally feel confident to increase the major version number from 4 to 5.
Drupal 4.7.5 and 4.6.11 releasedSubmitted by Ty on January 5, 2007 - 10:00am
Drupal 4.6.11 and Drupal 4.7.5 are available for download. These are maintenance releases that fix problems reported using the bug tracking system, as well as two security vulnerabilities.
Drupal 5 release candidateSubmitted by Ty on December 18, 2006 - 2:00pm
After just two betas the Drupal project present the first Drupal 5 release candidate (RC1). You can read about the new features in the beta 1 announcement. In contrast to the beta's, most debugging has been done and, should no more fatal bugs emerge, this version is release worthy. A list of all the bugfixes since beta 2 can be found on the release page.
Drupal 5 Beta 2 ReleasedSubmitted by Ty on November 28, 2006 - 12:00pm
Drupal 5.0 beta 2 release is out in public. Countless bug fixes and over 160 committed patches, version 5 is starting to take shape. Get involved with the best Content Managment Software out there and join the Drupal community today.

Contributed by the Tribology Division of ASME for publication in the JOURNAL OF TRIBOLOGY. Manuscript received March 17, 2014; final manuscript received March 17, 2014; published online April 25, 2014. Assoc. Editor: Michael Khonsari.
This paper presents simulation results corresponding with the theoretical Morton effect model explained in Part I, where the 3D finite element models of bearing, shaft, and fluid film are adopted. In addition, it explains how thermal bow induced imbalance force develops in the spinning journal with time and how the vibration level is affected by the thermal bow vector. Shaft asymmetric thermal expansion induced by nonuniform journal heating is simulated, which is one of the unique contributions of this research. The effect of changes in: (1) thermal boundary condition around the pad, (2) lubricant supply temperature, (3) initial mechanical imbalance, (4) pivot stiffness, (5) film clearance, and (6) pad material are studied. Cooling the pad and the lubricant, using a pad with a low thermal expansion coefficient, soft pivot, and reducing the initial imbalance are found to be the best remedies for the thermal induced synchronous rotor instability problem.

When the coconut tree is tapped it produces a "sap" that exudes from the coconut blossoms. Small batches ensure that our Coconut Aminos, made from this natural sap, is an enzymatically alive product aged and blended with sun dried sea salt, hand gathered from pristine waters near the southern islands of the Philippine coast.
- Gluten-Free
- Dairy-Free
- Vegan
Recipe Tip
Soy-Free Seasoning alternative for use like soy sauce in salad dressings, marinades, sautés, and with sushi! This delicious product does not have a coconutty flavor.
Announcement from the manufacturer:
It is with a very heavy heart, that we must let you know that a change has been implemented in the processing of our Coconut Aminos product.
We have had many issues over the years maintaining a stable end product, due to the naturally occurring beneficial yeast inherent in the raw coconut tree sap, which has a tendency to reactivate after bottling.
As diligently as we have been trying to learn why this spontaneously occurs (since all batches of this product are made by the same methods every time), there weren't any clear conclusions other than possible variations in humidity during transport, in addition to the frequency that the product is agitated. This unsolved mystery has
cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars in recalled product and credits issued.
We have now arrived at the point that it is no longer possible for us to maintain the "Raw" status of this product. That said, we have made the decision to implement a brief pasteurization process that will stop the yeast from reactivating. This process involves heating the Coconut Aminos to 165 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 seconds
during bottling, and then tipping the bottles upside down for one minute to sterilize the air space between the glass and the cap. Unfortunately this slows down our bottling capacity, but it is the only way that we can stabilize this product without adding any other ingredients, which would affect the delicate flavor profile of this product.
There is absolutely no detectable change in the taste, because this process is so quick. We have delayed implementing this for the past couple of years, because of our deep concern for how this change will affect our raw clientele, especially for the raw restaurants and manufacturers who have incorporated this ingredient into their recipes and formulations.
Please accept our deepest and most sincere apologies for this sad news. On the bright side however, we are relieved and happy to finally be able to supply everyone with a stable product with no affect on the wonderful flavor that is Coconut Aminos. Please keep an eye out for our updated retail labels to begin trickling into stores, which now say "The Original" Coconut Aminos instead of "Raw"
Our sincerest gratitude for your kind understanding. We truly appreciate and value our loyal customers who have been supporting our products since the beginning.
It is with regret that we are unable to share with you more information about this product. Various EU legislation forbids us (and all other food business operators) from claiming that these products can offer any possible health benefits. Many of our customers already know about these foods, and come back to us time and time again for their favourite items. We ask customers new and old to do your own research, and to trust Raw Living to provide you and your nearest and dearest with the best quality products at the lowest prices. Thank you for your understanding.
Tapping the Sap
The principles of tapping the coconut tree blossoms for their sap, bears only minor resemblance to the practice of tapping maple trees for maple syrup production. Containers used to collect the sap are made out of hollow bamboo tubes that are fastened onto the thick fleshy stems covered in small flowers (see photos).
The freshly gathered coconut tree sap is oyster white in color, has a nearly neutral pH, and is already inherently sweet tasting by nature. Whereas, the sap from a maple tree (as well as the juice from an agave cactus) has very little readily available sweetness, and requires long heating times in order to produce the sweet syrup you purchase in the bottle.
When the coconut tree is tapped, it produces a highly nutrient-rich sap that exudes from the coconut blossoms. This sap is very low glycemic (GI of only 35), and contains a wide range of minerals, vitamin C, broad-spectrum B vitamins, 17 amino acids, and it has a nearly neutral pH.
Coconut tree sap produces a multitude of delicious products, including our Coconut Vinegar, Coconut Aminos Seasoning Sauce, Coconut Nectar, and Coconut Crystals, all made through raw methods of either aging the sap for up to 1 year, or evaporating it at low temperature after it is collected.
The most remarkable blessing about tapping a coconut tree, is that once it is tapped, it flows its sap continuously for the next 20 years. From a sustainability viewpoint, the harvestable energy production from tapping coconut trees for their sap (which yields 5,000 liters per hectare), rather than allowing them to produce fruit, is 5-7 times higher per hectare than coconut oil production from mature coconuts.

So when I decided to do classes on Monday nights it was because my Guys go to Cub Scouts. Once per month on the Last Monday of the Month usually is the Pack Meeting where the entire group gets together to do Awards, and to share information about what they have been working on. Mr. H has been working really hard to earn his Bear Achievement and with the completion of his Ustream Video of Making the bird house he got that done. So tonight my guy will be getting his Bear Achievement Patch. This one took a great deal of writing, (anyone who knows Harrison knows how hard that is for him) but he was motivated.
So I need to change the time for my class for tonight as I am supposed to be teaching the coffee sleeve/coin envelope mini at the exact time that Mr. H will get getting his award. I have to have those photos. Even Grandma and Grandpa are coming.
So let me know what time tonight works for you guys or in the next day or two. I did post the template/patterns that you need to work along with me on this album. You will need at least 6 of each piece made from cardstock.
Thanks for understanding and I am sure I will have some photos of this achievement for Mr. H tomorrow!

I recently was a vistor of one of America's most historic sites, Washington DC. My girlfriend and I explored the many tourist attractions, the various memorials, and some of the museums that hold some of the most sacrid historical artifacts that the population of this world has endured and accomplished.
The energy in a few of these attractions was pretty deep for me. It was different than just a site with statues made of raw material and old beat up artifacts. There was something less tangible and more emotional. One of the sites that hit me was the Lincoln Memorial. I've visited DC before, but I believe I was too young to truely grasp the meaning behind what is there. As I read the walls of the Lincoln Memorial there was a thought within the back of my mind, sorrow. That someone so wise and diplomatic was taken by a coward assassin.
Throughout history there are examples in which we are deprived of the true heroes and it seems as though the "survival of the fittest" is a theory that does not apply to the human race. Because your definition of "fittest" could be totally different than mine. Our strong are taken by those who have nothing but weapons and violence to fight back. Our strong minded are taken away from us because there are some people who don't know how to fight with the mind and they do the only thing they know how to do, eliminate that which threatens them.
The next touching moment was the Holocust museum. The Holocust has always provoked interest in me, it's such an unusual event that truely tested the will power of a group of individuals. Hearing the stories of these people who endured some of the most torturous physical and mental scenerios in human history really proves how capable the human mind is over our physical life. These heroic people were beaten to the absolute limit mentally and physically. Yet, if you hear some of their stories they remained positive and fought through with everything they had. It really puts things into perspective, and this is one event that should never be forgotten.
I'm a strong believer in the mind. We are more than these shells we run around in. It does not take muscle to achieve goals, it is the dedication of something greater that will be more likely to help you arrive at the goal at which you seek. It is the strive to survive and accomplish that which you desire that should be treasured, not the actual physical accomplishment. And there is evidence to my theory because I can guarantee once you arrive at your destination, you will want another.
Be strong, be focused and always want more, the sky is truely the limit. Remember, although we learn from text books and our elders, there is still much to be learned about our existance. It's the ride we enjoy, not the final destination.

It List: Tuesday
Mammoth Grinder/Harm's Way/Wiccans/Power Trip/Human Error (1919 Hemphill): As you may have noticed, and possibly even complained about, Mammoth Grinder made our sometimes-contributor Street Meat's top records of 2009 list, which despite what you may think of it, at least didn't look like a carbon copy of so many lists I've seen online. This is a very good lineup, and for a very good cause, seeing as it's actually a breast cancer benefit. From the invite:
This will be a night of AGGressive music and good times while helping somebody in need. the profits of this show after paying mammoth grinder and harm's way will be going to Zenaida Martin, Tina's mom, who is currently in a fight with breast cancer. recently, an organization called the "celebration of life" attempted to hold a fundraiser for her, with a big auction/dinner event to help cover medical expenses. these events are usually a huge help, because on top of any money the dinner generates, the texas senate donates a minimum of $2000 to any of these COL sponsored events. but because of some red tape bullshit, an organization administrator completely fucked things up, and the event wasn't an "official" event. basically, it hurt the turn out, and of course, no money came from the senate. money was actually lost, rather than gained. this show is the least that we can do to help this struggling family that means so much to many of us.
Anyway, here's the flyer to this bad boy. Mammoth Grinder's new CD just came out on Relapse Records. i can't fucking wait for this show. there's a minimum $5 donation for cover, but we highly encourage added donations - seeing that this is a benefit. many of you will obviously not be able to make it to the show. if that's the case, and you are feeling generous, you may paypal a donation to firstname.lastname@example.com , which i will in turn write a check to family. if everybody could help just a little by posting this everywhere, other boards, blogs, make facebook events, call local NPR and college metal shows, tell your friends, whatever you can think of. it's really important to me to raise as much money for the family as i can. thank you for your support and see yall there!

The piece provides stunning close description of an iconic 'bog body' on display and reveals the poet's emotional responses to it. The notion of man's barbaric treatment of his fellows is never far away; associated ideas link the fate of Grauballe Man with contemporary events in Ulster.
The body might have emerged from a mould As if …poured/ in tar. It is posed in bogland décor: he lies on a pillow of turf; the face expresses an inner sadness, appearing to weep/ the black river of himself.
The observer's eye ranges up and down the body; its at-oneness with the bog that preserved it are striking; similes of comparison are vegetable then mineral finally animal: the fibres of the body's wrists have a texture of tree bark: grain…/ like bog-oak; the nubbed ball of his heel resembles a basalt egg.
The wild life inhabiting the bog pools has left its mark: as a result of long-term immersion in water the shrunken instep is cold as a swan's foot or a wet swamp root; hips share the features and textures of the freshwater mussel. The comparison is vividly descriptive: the ridge of the mollusc's shell; its wrinkled resemblance to the leathery money-bag (purse). The protrusion and colourings of the spine are discernible through the skin like a motionless eel arrested/ under a glisten of mud.
Focus settles on the head, its unnatural shape caused by the barbarous treatment inflicted upon it: its chin resembling a helmet's visor/ raised to reveal the slashed throat of human sacrifice, its flesh turned leathery yet retaining the raw tinge of elderberry.
The narrator questions the distinction between corpse and body: between the sharp featured corpse of vivid cast and the body as if in suspended animation (the Bog Queen is portrayed as both dead and not dead), waiting in opaque repose, its gingery rusted mane as unusual as a baby born with a full head of hair: a mat unlikely as a foetus's.
Heaney recalls his first sight of PV Glob's photographic records of Grauballe Man in the process of retrieval, a head and shoulder / out of the peat bearing the marks of a new-born after a difficult birth bruised like a forceps baby. The grainy image he saw has become a vivid exhibit before his eyes perfected in my memory with the most minute detail: down to the red horn/ of his nails.
The poem's mood changes abruptly: the same scales that an anthropologist or nurse might use to record detail become the measurers of a grimmer reality: Grauballe Man and his sculpted counterpart the 'Dying Gaul' are hung in the scales as counter-weights, things of beauty and victims of atrocity.
The poem's grisly conclusion awakens us to current outrage. Any balance in favour of things of visual beauty (the 'beautiful' remains of a victim of tribal atrocity in 55BC or the dignified beauty of a dying barbarian too strictly compassed/ on his shield, victim of Roman imperialism) is more than offset by the sight of the barbarism inflicted on contemporary victims of sectarian atrocity in Ulster the actual weight/ of each hooded victim,/ slashed and dumped.
This bog-body was found by peat-cutters in April 1952 near Grauballe in Denmark; he is currently on show in the Moesgaard museum near Arrhus in Denmark;
the nematode web-site offers the following insights: "an examination by the professor of forensic medicine at Aarhus University at the time of his discovery concluded "This most unusually well preserved body has, as a result of the particular composition of the earth in which it has lain, undergone a process of conservation which appears to resemble most closely a tanning. This has made the skin firm and resistant … and at the same time the bones have been subjected to a decalcification process which has left them soft and capable of being bent and flattened, as has happened, for example with the bones of the head. On the front of the neck was found a large wound stretching from ear to ear. It lies high up the throat, and the edges are moderately smooth … probably caused by several cuts inflicted by a second person. Grauballe man's hands and fingers- were preserved so perfectly that fingerprints could be taken- showed/ There is nothing unusual about the fingerprints obtained/ The hands of the Grauballe Man showed no sign of hard manual labour/ Radioactive-carbon tests carried out on the body dated Grauballe man at around 55 B.C., making him roughly a contemporary of Julius Caesar.";
weep: the word has more than one connotation describing the movement of liquid matter yet to solidify; an emotional response to grief;
basalt: a hard, durable rock
purse: the word has more than one connotation: a leather money container; a wrinkling of the lips
mat: a noun created to describe 'matted hair', entangled in a thick mass
horn: chosen to describe the hard growth of the finger nail akin to an animal's horn;
actual: 'real' of course but French 'actuel' meaning 'current', 'contemporary';
weight: both the sense of 'heavy' and 'significant';
the piece contains differently constructed similes: As if/ is like/ cold as/ hips are/ chin is a visor/ bruised like;
12 quatrains in a 10-sentence structure; variable line length between 3 and 7 syllables;
no rhyme scheme; final words in each line might repeat a consonant: foot/ root; visor/ vent etc. or offset a vowel sound: photograph/ shoulder; note 1 rhyme: nails/ scales;
sentences are largely short in length except for the final 21 line structure; enjambment plays a role in the flow and rhythm of the piece: some middle sentences are totally enjambed;
sound effects: (sentence 1) runs with [æ] of the title: Grauballe Man/ As/ black adding [ɪ] if/ in/ pillow/ river/ himself and [i:] seems/ weep; alliterative flavours of bilabial plosive [p] and labio-dental [f];
(s.2) offers assonant [ei] grain/ basalt; consonant bilabial plosive [b] carries through from black to basalt;
(s.3) plays with variant vowel (o) sounds: compare cold/ foot/ or/ root; the sibilant in basalt provides a reopeated alliterative effect;
(s.4) adds aspirate [h] examples, picking up the earlier [ʌ] sound in shrunk via mussel/ under/ mud; [ɪ] earlier instep is reinforced: hips/ ridge/ glisten;
(s.5)maintains the assonant[ɪ] lifts/ chin/ is/ his alongside labio-dental [v] and alveolar [t] from lifts to toughened; also [æ] echo of slashed/ tanned;
sentences (6)(7) and (8) interweave alliterative velar [k] of cured/ dark/corpse/ cast/ opaque [əʊ] opens/ repose[ɪ] inward/ will/ his vivid/ will/ his [uː] Who/ to/ Who; (s.9) [ʌ] rusted/ unlikely/ foetus;
the final sentence includes pairs chains or clusters of assonance: [ɪ] twisted/ in/ with/ strictly/ his victim [ei] face/ baby/ nails/ scales/ weight[əʊ] photograph/ shoulder [i:] peat/ shield [au] out/ now/ down [ʊə] forceps/ horn [ʌ] hung/ hooded/ dumped; alliterative effects combine labio-dental [f] Face/ photograph/ forceps/ perfected with sibilant [s], bilabial [p]peat, forceps/ perfected, later [k] strictly compassed/ actual/ victim
the final quatrain leads ultimately to one of the starkest, most memorable images in the collection: each hooded victim, slashed and dumped with its triplet of alveolar [t] sounds;
For a close photo-based study of bog bodies, featuring both Grauballe Man and Tollund Man go to The National Geographic magazine of September, 2007 (pp80-93). The quality of the photography gives some idea of the colours, shapes and textures that faced Heaney in the challenge of transposing vivid visual images into word;
The Dying Gaul is the dignified sculpture of a mortally wounded Gallic warrior regarded by the Romans as a barbarian but portrayed as a 'noble savage'; it is to be found in Rome's Capitoline Museum;
Heaney was influenced by Danish anthropologist PV Glob's book, 'The Bog People' (1967) which showed photographs of gradual removal of bodies from the Jutland bog; the poet views it as 'rebirth' and the body becomes an icon;
an exemplary instance of the closeness between 'beauty' and 'atrocity' (NC59) and first of 2 poems showing Heaney's perturbedly ambiguous responses (NC71);
The poem moves from allegory to direct analogies between bog people and contemporary victims of sectarian atrocity (NC71);
Heaney selects 'The Dying Gaul' as an image of heroic death at the hands of imperialists to show how Art is and can be used to depict brutal political reality.

Over on Deinde, Danny Zacharias is doing a great job of tracking all the relevant blog posts on the current thread on "faith and scholarship", which all began with an article in the SBL Forum article by Michael Fox, but has continued with multiple blog postings, including some interesting interviews on Cafe Apocalypsis, mainly with evangelical scholars (Blomberg, McKnight, Evans and Bock) but also with James Crossley. I wonder who else Alan has lined up? Anyway, here's Danny's summary post, which he updates regularly:

This is part one of my trip to France. All those photos were taken during the first day in Caen, the beautiful and picturesque city in the Normandy. I am so inspired by those old balconies and windows, with those derelict blinds. Stunning. Like in a movie. During the first day we ate nothing but Madeleine's and Crepes. (I have to correct myself: I ate nothing but Madeleine's and Crepes.) After exploring the city a little bit, we went to Cafe Latin, which turned out to be one oft the best Cafes in Caen in general. Enjoying the sunset, don't care about what to do the next day was absolutely recreative. C'est la belle vie!

I have always wanted to make a live edge something and finally tried it out. This is a black walnut slab from a tree that lived in Fort Collins, CO. It measures 60" long, 23-45" wide, and 2" thick. Planed it down with a router and then sanded and sanded and sanded some more up to 600 grit. I filled the cracks along the edges with epoxy then finished with a couple coats of Waterlox. I toyed with the idea of using a grain filler but I'm glad I chose not to. The figuring in the crotch area is amazing. There were two other slabs just like it, may have to go pick them up as well. I wanted to smooth out the chainsaw mark on the one edge, my wife didn't, so "we" decided to keep it as is.

Thanks for the comments. The base is 1"x3" steel tubing that I had cut at a local metal shop. A friend of mine welded it together and then I painted it with black textured spray paint, just like a powder coating. Total cost was about $45.

Should you be the owner of a small to mid-sized business, then there are several bits of office equipment that you can purchase or rent to help make your operations run more smoothly. One of these is a copier. Although a lot of the world today operates online, you will find that you still need hard copies of your variety of items the whole day. Rather than attempting to outsource these products all of the time, you can get a great copier that will service your needs in the office.
Austin Technology Group - Copier Division
First of all, you need to find out which copier dealers even service your neighborhood. While you can purchase a cheap one via the Internet, it's likely you'll run into troubles in the event you need to have it serviced. In fact, the ones that are sold using your office supply shops are primarily created for use by people at home, not those who are operating a business and have regular demand for using the machine.
Once you have compiled a list of firms that work with professional businesses like yours, you can start to research their reputation online. See how many other consumers have to say about the services that they have coming from them. Don't forget to look at how long it takes for service calls to take place, and how professionally the staff deals with customers whenever they encounter troubles.
You'll want an authorized representative who is capable of training your working environment staff in the proper use and good care of the copier. When it is well maintained, then you should encounter fewer issues than you'd otherwise. If they discover how to fix jams, as well as prevent them, and also change the cartridges along with other maintenance, your entire office should run more smoothly.
Austin Technology Group - Copier Division
Compare the and services of those who have shown at the top of your list. See which of them have the type of machines that are most suited to your copying needs, and discover if you have to sign almost any contracts keeping you devoted to their services for a particular period of time. If so, make sure that you are comfy with the terms, and you understand clearly one of the maintenance fees that you will be responsible in that time. You and your office staff are certain to be pleased with the new copier.

From Digital to Analog? All Hail the Past!
By Margie Dana
In the glorious heat of the summer, we should slow down long enough to give a shout out to our past – past communicating methods, that is.
Last week I came across a couple of news items about earlier days of printing and publishing that tickled my fancy. I couldn't make this stuff up – and think they're too good not to share.
Letterpress from your iPad? Believe it.
File this under super-cool. For just $5.99, you can purchase a new app for your iPad that will let you create a virtual letterpress environment. LetterMPress™ is the brainchild of John Bonadies, a graphic designer in Champaign, IL, and programmer Jeff Adams. There are big plans afoot for this project, including a real letterpress shop called "Living Letter Press," which will let LetterMPress users download their creations for actual letterpress-ing.
I've bought this app and can't wait to get my hands dirty (as it were). It might well be the closest I get to actually practicing this ancient printing craft. BTW, there's a Facebook page you can join: The Living Letter Press.
In my book, there's no printing process as beautiful as letterpress.
Check out the video and Bonadies' explanation of the project at http://www.dexigner.com/news/23362. Neenah Paper is a sponsor of this app.
Oh, for an Olivetti or Smith Corona
If you have no clue what this subhead refers to, you are officially Young. I, on the other hand, pine for the clickety-clack of one of these classic manual typewriters. Why did I get rid of mine, all those years ago?
So it was with delight that I read about a company in Brooklyn, NY, called Brady & Kowalski. This 16-month-old company sells refurbished, classic typewriters ("writing machines") at the Brooklyn Flea (www.brooklynflea.com).
Take a look at their sweet web site: www.brady-kowalski.com. They actually held a "Ribbon-Changing Seminar" recently, where, for $25, you could learn how to change a ribbon on your manual typewriter. I kid you not. There was another event called "Brooklyn type out #1," encouraging folks to "…join fellow typewriter lovers for an afternoon of typewriting en plein air. A speed typewriting competition will take place at high-noon, come early to cop a spot and register." Love it!
They also have a Facebook page you can like: BRADY; KOWALSKI – Writing Machines, Est. 1873. (I have written them to find out the significance of 1873. I assume it's a nod to the year in which a Remington typewriter was first mass produced.)
Oh, their tagline is "unplug and reconnect." Advice we should all heed, especially in these dog days of summer. Anyone want to go to Brooklyn soon?
The Kids Get Mail
In the same issue of New York magazine, there's a piece about Brooklyn blogger Melissa Lohman Wild. Evidently, Ms. Wild has been blogging for two years about the magnificence and wonder of snail mail. Check it out at www.vivasnailmail.com. She's holding an event next month for children, called, "Make Mail!!" Kids are asked to bring a mailing address of someone; that's it. Ms. Wild provides all necessary materials; i.e., paper and stamps. I hope it's a stark-raving success.

Ok, my frugal tips are............
1. I like to buy trays of chicken breasts (I quit buying the frozen--fresh is so much better and ends up being more economical), large pork roasts and beef roasts. Watch for sales of course. Then when I get home I get out my big stock pot and start cooking up the meat. I'll season each a little bit, but I keep it simple so I can later add spices for Italian dishes or Mexican dishes etc. After the chicken, pork or beef is cooked I remove any bones, skin etc and then shred the meat up and measure out 2 cups and place the chicken, beef or pork into quart size freezer bags and label. It makes a really nice convenience food item and it really stretches the meat so much further. I've discovered that I was really over doing it before and now I can make all kinds of quicker meals with less meat--or actually a better proportion of meat. Saving time and money.
I also save the broth from each meat in quart size canning jars. Just pour it into the jar, cool in the fridge and then pop into the freezer for later use.
2. Use those cereal bags. This one is something I recently learned. Now I'm talking those cereal bags inside the boxed cereals. If you look at them they are a nice heavy wax type paper most of the time and great for storing food and non-food items in. Just yesterday I saved my rags that I polish with in one. Keeps them stored neatly and they won't get their oily residue on other things in the closet and I didn't have to waste a nice ziplock baggie on them. They also make great little travel trash bags too. The ideas are endless. Oh and save the boxes to use for crafting too--tons of uses there.
3. Make A Mix Cookery I've had this book for years and have just recently started using it. It makes mixes for all kinds of baked goods and more. What I like about using this method is that if I decide to make muffins for dinner I can pull out my mix add my wet ingredients and be done in a jiffy. It's a bit dangerous having the versatile brownie mix on hand, but oh so nice! Lots of convenience here and cheaper too. There's also More Make a Mix Cookery--that one I still need to add to my collection of recipe books, but in the meantime the other book is keeping me busy.
4. The Bulk Food section in the grocery store is a great place to save money. I'm talking about the big barrels of bulk foods where you measure out what you want. I have found my biggest savings has been in spices and yeast. For instance a pound of cinnamon costs 2.27. Well a pound of cinnamon is a lot and when you buy it prepackaged you only get a few ounces for that same price ore more and I've found all of the spices to be a huge, huge savings plus they are so much fresher and it's a cheaper way to experiment with new spices. For the cost of a pound of bulk yeast, ($2 something per pound) I would end up spending $12.00, buying it in jar form off the shelf (probably more if bought in the packets). That's a savings of about $10.00. And if you don't think you'll use all that yeast before it expires, put it in a jar and store it in the freezer. It will save indefinitely that way. I have saved my yeast for years this way and have never had a problem.
Well, that's just a few ideas for now. Don't forget to check out the rest of the Frugal Friday ideas--there's a ton of them!
