Greetings from Hogwarts
November 3, 2010 § 1 Comment
post 11/3
sometimes I can't help but wish that Hogwarts was real
now I have to admit, I've never read the books… but its not the plot that keeps me watching movie after movie- its the interiors. On a trip home this past weekend my parents and I decided to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire; I've seen the movie before but it wasn't until this weekend when I remembered how truly magical and captivating these sets are. There's an old world sort of charm to these interiors- the colors are rich, the wood is dark, the light is warm, and everything is just a little bit tattered. Two and a half hours later, all I could think about was hanging out in the Gryffindor common room and how cool it would be if there really were such things as floating candle sticks.

§ One Response to Greetings from Hogwarts
I always liked the old, more character , feeling of stability and timelessness , didn't know you noticed. Colleen Daly said my home reminded her of a castle. Cool.

Looks like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles could use some work in the PR department, because today's children are not feeling these heroes in a half shell.
Whether it's the "flat" '90s cartoon style, the "cheesy" costumed movies or the "weird" Michael Bay motion picture reboot, the little judges in this new Kids React video don't have good things to say about TMNT. Except for 6-year-old Lucas, now there's a kid who loves nunchuck-wielding reptiles!
The hardest part of this video isn't the trash-talking about Michelangelo and co., it's the pop culture ignorance of the new generation. Most of these tykes have no idea that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles started in the '80s.

"I should know about the past, not only the future, not only the present," 8-year-old Brooke-Monaé proclaims after learning of the franchise's history.
Wise words, young lady.

Jackie Robinson's statue in Brooklyn defaced
NEW YORK (CNN) — Vandals defaced a statue of Jackie Robinson outside the Brooklyn Cyclones baseball stadium, marking racial slurs and symbols on it, park and police officials said Wednesday.
A swastika, "anti-Semitic comments" and the N-word were written in black marker on the statue and its base sometime between the end of the Cyclones game Tuesday night and 7 a.m. Wednesday, according to a spokesman for the New York City Police Department.
The NYPD's Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the matter as a possible bias incident. The Cyclones and police are reviewing security camera video, hoping it will lead them to a suspect or suspects, said Brooklyn Cyclones director of communications Billy Harner.
No arrests have been made.
The New York Daily News on its front page Thursday kicked off a hunt for the "lowlife who scrawled epithets" onto the statue.
In red, slanted letters it posted a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator. In the background, a photo of the statue, which immortalizes a moment of racial progress in American history in the 1940s.
While Robinson endures racial slurs from the stands, white teammate Pee Wee Reese walks over and puts an arm around him, silencing the crowd.
At the base, the newly scrawled slurs appear, with parts blurred out by the Daily News.
The parks department has already managed to remove the majority of the graffiti, Harner said.
"Almost every Saturday morning I stop by the statue on my bike, and am deeply moved each time," U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer said in a statement.
"Defacing the Jackie Robinson statue is a dagger in the heart to everything America stands for, and I hope those who are responsible are caught, punished, and taught why what they did is so disgusting and offensive."
The stadium is just steps away from Coney Island's famous boardwalk. The team is the minor league club associated with Major League Baseball's New York Mets franchise.
Jackie Robinson was the first African-American baseball player to play with a modern-era Major League Baseball team, the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.
His jersey number, 42, was retired in 1997, though it is still worn by New York Yankees closer, Mariano Rivera.
The film "42," which was released in April, tells Robinson's story of breaking the color barrier in the sport.
CNN's Dave Alsup and Ben Brumfield contributed to this report.

RWN are about to head to Canberra for the 2014 Australian RIRDC Rural Women's Award dinner. This wonderful event will celebrate the seven State and Territory winners of the 2014 RIRDC RWA including our very own Pip Job from Cumnock. The 2014 Australian winner and runner-up will also be announced at the dinner. We wish Pip and the other finalists all the best.
Last week The Land featured a great 4-page article on the Rural Women's Award which included profiles on each of the seven winners. If you want to know more about Pip and her vision for agriculture and primary industries read on…
Source: The Land | Thursday, September 18, 2014
For years Pip Job has worked to ensure farm families – her own included – leave a positive footprint on their land.
The chief executive of the Little River Landcare Group at Yeoval NSW, and an ambassador for Meat & Livestock Australia's Target 100 program, she's been a passionate advocate of natural resource management and sustainable food and fibre production.
But she's been continually stumped by what stops families from embracing new practices or reverting back to old practices.
'What I've come to learn over the past few years is that it is always a people problem that stops people from changing or that makes them revert back to past practice,' Pip says.
'And often people don't realise what those problems are in their business.'
While there's endless tools available to help farmers do financial and environmental audits of the farm, she says there's nothing that helps farmers identify the social weaknesses and strengths in their business which can have just as big an impact on their success.
Her goal is to develop a tool to do just that.
'We've got experts that operate in isolation on a lot of these issues like mental health and succession planning, but there's nothing that overarches the whole space and let's (farm families) do a full audit of the social capacity of the business,' Pip says.
The NSW-ACT RIRDC Rural Women's Award winner, Pip is using her bursary to explore best practice education around issues such as mental health, communication, succession planning and financial literacy in New Zealand and the US.
From there, she hopes to develop a checklist that helps farm families see where they sit on the various issues – and how they can manage areas of weakness.
'These are the issues I'm seeing that either help or inhibit farming families from practising natural resource management and best practice in agriculture,' Pip says.
'We can't get people to do the Landcare things we need them to do unless they're dealing with these social challenges.'
She'd like to one day see farm families undertake a regular social audit at the end of each financial year, in the same way they might sit down with their accountant to take the financial pulse of the business.
'Because everybody wants to be happy – who doesn't want to be happy?'

The Oak Harbor Babe Ruth baseball team couldn't overcome a rugged first inning and fell 15-8 to Mount Vernon Thursday, June 22, at Clover Valley Park.
The Diamond Dogs, a team of 14-year-olds, scored 10 runs in the first inning, and although Oak Harbor, a team of 13-year-olds, outscored Mount Vernon 8-5 from that point, it wasn't nearly enough to overcome the early deficit.
That wrapped up the regular season for the Wildcats. Now the league will split into two division — 13-year-olds and 14-year-olds — for the district tournament.
Oak Harbor, Sedro-Woolley and Mount Vernon will field teams in the 13s division and play a round robin tournament at Janiki Field in Sedro-Woolley next week.
Oak Harbor meets Mount Vernon at 6 p.m. Monday, June 26, and Sedro-Woolley at 6 p.m. Tuesday.
The top two teams qualify for the state tournament.
Mount Vernon 15, Oak Harbor 8 (6 innings)
The Diamond Dogs' first 10 hitters all reached base (eight hits, an error and a walk) and all scored in the first-inning explosion.
A walk to Cody Duchnowski, a hit by Will Rankin and a bunt by Gage McLeod helped Oak Harbor score two runs in the bottom of the first.
The Wildcats (6-12-1) scored four runs in the third. Shawn Day reached on an error and Chandler Gisvold and Rankin walked. A passed ball and consecutive singles by McLeod, John Blankman and Jamie Rider pushed across the four runs.
Oak Harbor added single runs in the fourth and fifth innings.
In the fourth, Jordan Ronning singled and eventually scored on Duchnowski's bunt.
Three walks helped lead to the run in the fifth.
Oak Harbor recorded 11 stolen bases in the game, led by McLeod and Rankin with three each.
McLeod was also the most effective of the Wildcats' four pitchers, allowing only one earned run and striking out four in three innings.

MK 1 Antenna Launcher
So, after a nice Sunday afternoon playing with the new radio it became immediately apparent that i am completely rubbish at getting antennas in trees.
So I've constructed a very simple antenna launcher. Using a £3.99 bait launcher and a cheap fishing reel, I have combined the 2using some small bore plastic pipe. I can fire a fishing weight over a tree and pull back a guy rope. Then attaching the antenna to the guy rope, i should be able to pull it up and get some tension on it. Hopefully achieving a flat top Dipole while in the trees.
I will update you with how this goes.

BELFAST TRANSPORT FROM HORSE TRAM TO METRO by MIKE MAYBIN is the first book that covers the entire period of operation.
Belfast Transport: From Horse Tram to Metro is the story of public transport in Belfast from the horse buses of the 1860s to the Metro system that was introduced in 2005. It is a fascinating story encompassing the change from horse buses to horse trams; the introduction of motor buses; thirty years of the trolleybuses; the closure of the tramways in the early 1950s; the closure of the trolleybus system in the late 1960s; and the total dependence on diesel buses. The story is told mainly through pictures with extended captions, describing not only the vehicles, but also their physical and social contexts. It covers the period of civil disturbances known as The Troubles from 1969 during which the Belfast Corporation and its successor Citybus lost staff, vehicles and millions of pounds. It covers managers such as Andrew Nance in the late 19th century, Werner Heubeck in the late twentieth century and Ted Hesketh in the early twenty-first century. Different men and different methods, but with the same purpose: to provide that best transport that they could in the climate in which they operated.

How To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit Series
Contributed by Randy Hamel on Feb 21, 2008 (message contributor)
Summary: Sermon looks at a daily filling of the Spirit and the steps necessary to become Spirit filled
What we believe series
How to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Acknowledgement - Dr. Henry Schorr, Centre Street Calary AB)
February 24, 2008 Part 8
o Were in a series about what Christians believe. What do Christians believe about God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit?
o I have met many Christian pastors, theologians, and teachers who have differing understandings of the filling or empowerment of the Holy Spirit than I do.
o Many are highly respected in their field
o We have some Christians in our church that have been taught differently than I am teaching today.
o God wants us to be graceful and learn from one another.
o We are not here to discourage one another
o Let us make a commitment that we will not let these things divide us. I have made that commitment. Do you agree?
o The Apostle Paul had the same concern. He was first and foremost a church planter.
o He received opposition his entire life.
o He sought to bring harmony, not division to the local church. All division is a work of the flesh. Paul wrote the works of the flesh (evidence of not being Spirit led) is factions and dissension.
o He implored the church at Corinth not to be divisive
o He implored the church to keep on being filled with the Holy Spirit.
o Have you ever wondered 'what does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit????"
o I battled that question for a long time
o Before I answer what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit lets do a quick review. First
1. Believe that the Holy Spirit is God
o The Holy Spirit is not a force
o The Holy Spirit is a person
o The Holy Spirit was active in creation of the world
o The Holy Spirit was active in the creation of man (let us)
o The Holy Spirit speaks (Acts 15:28)
o The Holy Spirit points us to Jesus (John 15:26)
o The Holy Spirit guides the church
o The Holy Spirit is all knowing
o The Holy Spirit is all powerful
o The Holy Spirit is present everywhere
o If you're a Christian the Holy Spirit lives in you right now
o You do not need to walk an aisle, you do not need to have special spiritual gifts, you do not need to speak in tongues to have the Holy Spirit, although you may have or do some of those things
o Remember it is one thing for you to have the Holy Spirit
o It is another thing for the Holy Spirit to have you
o But understand the Holy Spirit is God
2. Believe that the Holy Spirit is available to you
o You have all the potential to live a Spirit filled life just like Jesus and the Apostles did
o The Holy Spirit has not changed; God is the same yesterday, today and forever
o There was a lot of confusion and frustration about the Holy Spirit in the early church and that has not changed
o I believe many Christians and churches live a frustrated or less than fulfilled life because they are not Spirit filled and Spirit led
o When we owned our first house back in the day I decided to replace the eaves trough and down spout
o In those days I was not Handy Randy
o Tearing the old ones down was easy
o But putting the new ones up was complete frustration
o The truth is I had no idea how to fix the problem
o But I got really frustrated for nothing
o I had friends and all the resources to get it fixed properly
o I just chose not to access them
o Finally I relented and called someone who knew what they were doing
o The tradesman showed up with his truck and tools
o A spirit of despair was replaced with bountiful hope
o It was absolute joy to sit back and watch him whistling while he worked
o There was nothing phony about this guy, he actually enjoyed what he did
o The eaves trough seemed to float into place
o They went up like magic
o Frustration turned to laughter
o The problem was fixed with precision
o Putting up that eaves trough on my own strength with the wrong tools is a picture of how many people and churches live the Christian life
o When we first embrace Jesus as savior people notice some obvious changes. We have a new:
o Love for God
o Joy and a peace within
o Passion to follow Jesus
o Improved attitudes
o A desire to read the Bible
o A desire to attend the local church

Expected to critique Trompenaars & Hampden-Turner, particularly criticisms (self study!), and compare to other theorists, especially Hofstede Trompenaars & Hampden-Turner (7 dimensions):
Dimension one – universalism-particularism:
Relative importance of applying standardised rules and policies across societal members; role of exceptions in rule enforcement
Universalism – reliance on formal rules and policies that are applied equally to everyone; rules come before relationships; examples include Austria, Germany, Switzerland, US
Particularism – rules must be tempered by the nature of the situation and the people involved; examples include China, Venezuela, Indonesia, Korea
Dimension two – individualism-collectivism:
Extent to which people derive their identity from within themselves or their group
Individualism – focus on individual achievement and independence; examples include US, Nigeria, Mexico, Argentina
Collectivism – focus on group achievement and welfare; examples include Singapore, Thailand, Japan
Dimension three – specific-diffuse:
Extent to which people's various roles are compartmentalised or integrated
Specific – clear separation of a person's various roles; examples include Sweden, Germany, Canada, UK, US
Diffuse – clear integration of a person's various roles; examples include China, Venezuela, Mexico, Japan, Spain
Dimension four – neutral-affective:
Extent to which people are free to express their emotions in public
Neutral – refrain from showing emotions; hide feelings; examples include Japan, Singapore, UK
Affective – emotional expressions acceptable or encouraged; examples include Mexico, Brazil, Italy
Dimension five – achievement-ascription:
Manner in which respect and social status are accorded to people
Achievement – respect for earned accomplishments; examples include Austria, US, Switzerland
Ascription – respect for ascribed or inherited status; examples include Egypt, Indonesia, Korea, Hungary
Dimension six – time perspective:
Relative focus on the past or the future in daily activities
Past/present oriented – emphasis on past events and glory; examples include France, Spain, Portugal, Arab countries
Future oriented – emphasis on planning and future possibilities; examples include China, Japan, Korea, Sweden, US
Dimension seven – relationship with environment:
Extent to which people believe they control the environment or it controls them
Inner-directed – focus on controlling the environment; examples include Australia, US, UK
Outer-directed – focus on living in harmony with nature; examples include China, India, Sweden, Egypt, Korea
Dimension seven – relationship with environment:
Extent to which people believe they control the environment or it controls them
Inner-directed – focus on controlling the environment; examples include Australia, US, UK
Outer-directed – focus on living in harmony with nature; examples include China, India, Sweden, Egypt, Korea
TOPIC 2: Leading and Influencing
ARTICLE: British Council & Booz (2013) Culture at Work Research:
IMPORTANT: in this topic Discusses the advantages of working in international groups and teams with members from diverse multicultural backgrounds? For individual, team and organization.
And link it with:
Surveyed HR managers at 367 large companies in 9 countries
Indicates there is real business value in employing staff who have ability to work effectively with individuals and organisations from cultural backgrounds different from their own
In particular, employers highlight following as important intercultural skills:-
Ability to understand different cultural contexts and viewpoints
Demonstrating respect for others
Knowledge of a foreign language
Employees with these skills are seen to benefit organisations through their ability to:-
Bring in new clients
Work within diverse teams
Support a good brand and reputation for their organisation.
Conversely, employees who lack these skills may leave their organisations susceptible to risks including:-
Loss of clients
Damage to reputation
Conflict within teams
TOPIC 3: Performance Management & performance appraisal
(5 variables for expatriates, non-expatriates, performance appraisal)
ARTICLE: Mercer (2013) Global Performance Management Survey (Executive Summary)
Link this article with performance appraisal and :
Five variables affecting expatriate performance
Variable one (of 5) – cultural adjustment:
Individual and accompanying family members (link to Culture; HRM in MNCs I)
Variable two (of 5) – host environment in which performance occurs (link to IHRM Theory and Practice):
Cultural and institutional difference
Subsidiary or foreign facility
Variable three (of 5) – headquarters support:
For individual
For accompanying family
Link to HRM in MNCs III (i.e. pre-departure training and repatriation)
Five variables affecting expatriate performance (cont'd)
Variable four (of 5) – assignment task variables and role of expatriate:
Similarity of post that incumbent held prior to current position
Role defined in one country, but assessed in another, so communication and feedback essential to clarify differing cultural norms (see slides 13, 14 & 15)
Variable five (of 5) – compensation package (last session):
Broad terms and conditions probably re-negotiated
Impact on performance of both legal contract (negotiated at employee resourcing stage) and psychological contract (unwritten expectations)
Decision on format of compensation package (going rate versus balance sheet) potentially influences employee performance
Performance management of non-expatriates (i.e. staff whose work involves international travel, but not considered international assignees because do not relocate to another country)
Perennial challenge of effectively communicating strategic links between assignee's performance and organisational strategy is magnified
Work conducted through non-standard assignments and international travel still conducted across cultural and national boundaries, thus subject to cultural differences in norms about acceptable or preferred levels of participation
Isolating international dimensions of job performance might prove difficult
Performance feedback for assignees will only be relevant if it reflects international contexts in which they are performing
Cross-cultural awareness and competence training will still be relevant for non-expatriates
Challenges for IHRM to determine what to reward when dealing with non-expatriate assignments and ways in which compensation for each type of international assignment fits with global compensation strategy (last session)

Until getting past Calgary, the scene is virtually flat farmland. I have never seen so many cows in all my life: big ones, little ones, black, brown and white ones. I began to wonder if the legacy of Alberta beef came to be because it is a better product or if its' popularity merely stemmed from the sheer number of cows?
I was going to have to do some tasting.
Stopping in Calgary for lunch, we hit one of the city's most famous spots: Peter's Drive-In, 219 – 16 Avenue NE . It's been around since 1962 and serves thirty different flavours of milkshakes. They boast 100% Canadian grade "A" ground chuck burgers that are fresh, preservative free and topped with real Canadian cheddar. You have to applaud the patriotism. Their signature is a BBQ sauce that they slather the patty with. Besides the cheese and sauce, they are basic with the toppings. Here all you get is ketchup, relish and mustard. The burgers get points for still being tender and moist even though they are as thin as cardboard. However, if not for the tangy sweet sauce, would be almost tasteless. Where is the flavour?
In doubt, I was a starting to subscribe to the numbers theory.
That is, until Banff. With the majestic Rockies as a back drop, The Grizzly House, 207 Banff Avenue, a cabin style fondue restaurant is the perfect place for dinner. The complete four course meal starts with either French onion soup or salad, a cheese fondue with bread cubes as an appetizer, your choice of entree finishing with a Toblerone chocolate fondue for dessert. The "Alberta special" afforded me the opportunity to try some of the local animals: beef, buffalo, venison and elk. The waiter brings to the table a 600 degree hot rock on which to cook your treats and away you go. The flavour of the elf was understated and gentle while the buffalo meat popped in my mouth. The beef was juicy and finally gave me a little more flavour to go on. Venison is a little too gamey and dark for my liking but I never turn down the experience of eating home grown. Like eating seafood by the sea, my dinner tasted like the mountains.
The beefscapades didn't end there. Back in Edmonton, I lunched at The Hat Resto and Bar, 10251 Jasper Avenue. The new Hat used to be an old Hat, The Silk Hat - an eighty year old diner. Having been recently renovated and revamped, the result is a dramatic, cool and trendy boite with an extensive burger menu that advertises Alberta beef. I went classic with a banquet type burger and fries. These patties are the real deal. They are thick (8 oz.), fresh, juicy, meaty and satisfying. Again, I ate Alberta.
More points for the case of a better quality product.
I loved the cutesy apps at Hundred Bar and Kitchen, 10009 – 101 A Avenue. The idea of snacking on truffle buttered popcorn while sipping a vodka seven delighted me. Cute lobster tacos and buffalo jerky made me even happier but the game was won when we feasted on filet mignon with truffle and peppercorn butter. Tenderloin can be virtually tasteless but not in this province. This piece of beef was not only luscious and velvety but bursting with juice. It had an earthy mouthfeel that is hard to imagine - rich and sort of soothing. Simply put, a filet unlike any other.
So the next time someone asks that old Wendy's commercial question, "Where's the beef?" you tell them it's in Alberta.

Quirky P.E.I. wood artists expanding to include shop
'Hopefully the bucks will try to chase us'
Wood artists Lenny and Heather Gallant of St. Georges, P.E.I., are expanding the country workshop for their business, Birdmouse, to include a showroom and store — something they're calling a Quirkshop.
Birdmouse has been making art, furniture and installations from reclaimed P.E.I. wood for the last five years. The two moved back to rural P.E.I. from Edmonton to chase their dreams after Heather had cancer.
We wanted to make a place where you can shop for your weird friend.— Lenny Gallant, Birdmouse
"For how far we are out in the country, we get a fair amount of people coming here expecting Birdmouse to have a little store, a little showroom," said Lenny, "and we really just have cats and a garage!"
The couple has carved out a corner of their workshop for living space.
'Step up our game'
"To step up our game, we're taking a third of our workshop and we're transforming it into an interesting, small quirky store out in the middle of the woods," Lenny said.
They'll be featuring other offbeat products — don't expect red braids or lupins here — in the Quirkshop, including handmade ukeleles, painted signs and Island-made prints and T-shirts.
"We wanted to make a place where you can shop for your weird friend," Lenny laughs.
The couple has launched a crowdfunding campaign for their renovation through Kickstarter, and are already halfway to their $6,000 goal, but say even if they don't reach it they'll go ahead with the shop.
They plan to open in June.
'Gives it that extra value'
The Kickstarter page features a detailed breakdown of how the Gallants plan to spend the funds and what donors will get, ranging from a necklace to a large piece of custom artwork.
The couple started reclaiming furniture as a hobby several years ago — using discarded pieces from an alley in Edmonton. They enjoyed it and people wanted it.
"The only difference is we don't have an alley — we have a whole province to pick from!" Lenny said.
They've even been given an entire 200-year-old P.E.I. farmhouse, and have been slowly dismantling the wood trim and floors with crowbars, using it in their work.
"It just gives it that extra value — it's got a story that just sits in it, you know?" Lenny said, noting customers are enchanted when they're told where the wood comes from, and happy to take home a piece of Island history.
'Pretty close to the ground'
The couple even has a plan if their Kickstarter raises more funds than their goal — they'd love to add a septic system.
"We live pretty close to the ground here," he said of the couple's rustic life on three hectares in the woods. They have installed electricity but now have only a composting toilet.
They emphasize, they are doing what they love, realizing after Heather's bout with cancer that life is short.
"We decided not to essentially chase the buck but to put ourselves first, chase our dreams, and hopefully the bucks will try to chase us," he said.
They're proud their little business has kept them employed and fed — sometimes, just barely — and hope the shop is the first of many developments on their property.

If you're anything like us, you've never needed a holiday to tell you when to drink. But for many novices, St. Patrick's day is that one time of year getting sloppy at 10am isn't exactly frowned upon. For those people St. Paddy's day isn't just a cultural and religious holiday celebrated annually on the 17th of March… no, no, no – it's a 24-hour party celebrating Irish heritage (whether you're actually Irish or not), green beer and poor decisions. While we choose to pass on the green beers… we do agree with the principals of modern St. Paddy's Day celebrations. Which are fairly simple to understand and include; drink, be marry and drink some more!
If you're going to join in on the celebration this year we urge you to put down the green beer and sip on some whiskey – some damn good whiskey! To help you navigate the good from the bad we've put together a list of 7 Whiskies Approved by St. Patrick Himself. Scroll though, enjoy and cheers!
This is true Irish Whiskey with a craft beer twist! Say hello to Jameson Caskmates IPA Edition. This whiskey was made possible by Jameson first loaning out their whiskey barrels to a local Irish craft brewery who used them to age their own Irish Pale Ale. Once the brewery was finished with them, the barrels got shipped back to Jameson, who then added their whiskey to the beer soaked barrels. The end product is the same Jameson Irish Whiskey you've grown to love, but with added hints of hopps, citrus and floral notes.
Given its smooth and well-rounded flavors, this is a great bourbon to sip neat. This is also great for wine drinkers with a strong palette as the alcohol content won't overpower them and they should be able to detect the flavors and enjoy a great tasting bourbon. The 80 proof is on the lighter side for bourbons but Basil Hayden's has great flavor and is enjoyable in every setting. We paired it nicely with a wonderful evening cigar as the flavors complimented each other well. If you prefer rocks, we would only recommend one or two as it being a lighter bourbon you will dilute the flavor quickly and won't get the full flavor throughout your drink.
Jack Daniel's Tennessee Rye has a grain bill of 70 percent rye, 18 percent corn, 12 percent malted barley and is carefully charcoal mellowed for a finish that's distinctly Jack. At 90 proof, it offers rich flavors from start to finish. On the palate, this well-rounded rye whiskey glows with accents of caramel and dry baking spice followed by a warm, peppery rye character finish on the back end. The aroma is an enticing blend full of soft fruit layered with an underlying rye spice and oak.
Tasting Stagg Jr. is a wonderful experience. On the front of the palate you are greeted with a initially docile caramel and vanilla flavors which moments later transforms into an intense spice that quickly reminds you, wow… I guess this is almost 130 proof! On the finish we were surprised with hints of smooth fruitiness and chocolate that doesn't burn, but rather subsides nicely and leaves you reaching for another sip. We recommend sipping Stagg Jr. neat, but if the high proof proves to be too much for your liking, cutting it with some distilled water is or ice is a good choice and makes the bourbon more welcoming. This limited batch release is somewhat hard to find, but is worth the search. Talk to your local liquor store manager often and hopefully they can hold a bottle for you. The $50 price tag is on-point if you ask us.
Jim Beam Black is aged for flavor, not for number of years. Some barrels may go 6, others 8 years. Once the desired flavors are achieved, then the barrels get pulled and bottled. A unique practice Jim Beam utilizes during aging is that they do not rotate their barrels. Rather they pull from the top, bottom, and middle of the rack house. They then combine the three together to create a consistent flavor and taste from one batch to another.
John L. Sullivan is a small batch Irish whiskey that is crafted using only the finest Irish grain and other local ingredients before being carefully aged in bourbon casks. Triple-distilled in copper pot stills, the spirit preserves the storied traditions of whiskey production. Smooth, balanced and flavorful, John L. Sullivan Irish Whiskey is as unique as its namesake and brings together a taste of the old country along with the new. This blended Irish whiskey exhibits subtle notes of spice and vanilla, making for a smooth drinking experience.
The initial taste delivers notes of vanilla, creamy butterscotch, a little oak and some nice spice. George Dickel Barrel Select has an abundance of flavor and some nice spice but the smoothness of that finish makes you definitely want more.
The unique distilling process definitely shines through on this whisky. The charcoal mellowing, a process in which whisky is slowly seeped through vats packed with charcoal. The whisky is aged for about 10-12 years and they only use 10 hand-selected barrels for the aging process. If you are in the market for incredibly smooth and mellow whisky with a great flavor profile then look no further than the George Dickel Barrel Select Whisky, you will not be disappointed!

Conference A Topography of Heresies or the Road to Renewal
On the 26th and 27th of June, 2014 the Department of Contemporary Philosophy at the University of Gdańsk organizes the international conference "A Topography of Heresies or the Road to Renewal? The Many Faces of Contemporary Phenomenology." The conference is organized under the patronage of the Polish Phenomenological Association.
The main idea for the conference stems from a recognition of the paradox that today the many applications of phenomenology — from classical theory of knowledge and metaphysical inquiry to increasingly popular studies in cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and hermeneutics, as well as, beyond philosophy, to mathematics, architecture, and medicine — represent diverse conceptions of how to do phenomenology, while some of these conceptions exceed the limits of phenomenology as demarcated by Edmund Husserl.
Paul Ricoeur already claimed that one has to understand the history of the phenomenological movement as the history of Husserlian heresies (A l'école de la phénoménologie, pp. 9, 182). Consequently, more than 100 hundred years after the publication of Ideas I, we propose to repose the perennial question about the contemporary significance of phenomenology. What is the most important heritage of Husserl's phenomenology for contemporary philosophy? Does phenomenology today present a consistent and unified philosophy? Or does it rather represent a robust mosaic, inviting but confusing, of different, heteronymous 'games'? Should we understand contemporary phenomenology as a series of heresies, or can we rather observe a genuine renewal of classical phenomenology in it? Within the horizon of more than a century of development in the phenomenological movement, we know that such thinkers as Max Scheler, Martin Heidegger, Emmanuel Levinas, Roman Ingarden, Jacques Derrida, Hermann Schmitz, and Michel Henry have questioned the adequacy not only of some of Husserl's key positions and arguments, but also — and above all — his very idea of phenomenology in general, calling for a new phenomenology. Can we say that today we have one phenomenology, or do we rather face many phenomenologies? The primary and ultimate aim of the conference is to achieve clarity about the place of phenomenology in contemporary philosophy.
The conference will gather 35 participants from 13 countries. All submission were evaluated in a process of blind peer-review. Members of the Advisory Board are: George Heffernan (Merrinac College, USA), Jean Leclercq (Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium), Andrzej Przyłębski (Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland), and Nicolas de Warren (KU Leuven, Belgium).
Members of the Advisory Board will give also keynote lectures, including:
Weder Häresie noch Erneuerung. Phänomenologie als ständige Selbstkorrektur und Selbstverbesserung by Andrzej Przyłębski;
Phenomenology of Evidence: Promises, Problems, and Prospects by George Heffernan;
Les enjeux du projet de la phénoménologie matérielle de Michel Henry by Jean Leclercq, and
The Archive and the Library: Cassirer's Alternative Phenomenology by Nicolas de Warren.
List of approved and invited speakers include: Aleksandra Szulc (Szczecin University, Poland), Anna Yampolskaya (Centre for Phenomenological Philosophy, Russian State University for the Humanities, Moscow, Russia), Bartłomiej Skowron (Wrocław University, Poland), Bernhard Obsieger (Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain), Daniele De Santis (Seattle University, Seattle (WA), USA), Doris Kaltenberger (University of Vienna, Austria), Giuseppe Menditto (Euroikia - Association for Humanities, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy), Jaroslava Vydrova (Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovak Republic), Jean-Baptiste Fournier (Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, Paris, France), Kenneth Knies (Sacred Heart University, Fairfield (CT), USA), Māra Grīnfelde (University of Latvia, Latvia), Marek Łagosz (Wrocław Uniwersity, Poland), Marek Maciejczak (Technical University Warsaw, Poland), Marek Pokropski (Warsaw University, Poland), Margot Wielgus (University of Kentucky, Lexington (KY), USA & Freiburg Universität, Germany), Maria Gołębiewska (Institut de Philosophie et Sociologie de l'Académie Polonaise des Sciences, Pologne), Max Schaefer, Michał Piekarski (Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw, Poland), Monika Murawska (Academy of Fine Arts, Warsaw, Poland), Olga Bialer (Warsaw University, Poland), Ovidiu Stanciu (Université de Bourgogne, France / Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Germany), Peter Andreas Varga (Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary), Piotr Schollenberger (Warsaw University, Poland), Róbert Karul (Institut de philosophie, Bratislava, Slovaquie), Rosa Maria Lupo (Dipartimento di Scienze Umanistiche, University of Palermo, Italy), Saulius Geniusas (Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong), Sergey Nikitin (Urals Federal University, Yekaterinburg, Russia), Simone Aurora (Università degli Studi di Padova, Italy), Uldis Vēgners (University of Latvia, Latvia), Wojciech Starzyński (Polish Acedemy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland).

Besides, I will be there with one of my most favorite people in the world whom I hardly get to see since our schedules are opposite. This race weekend was actually my birthday gift to her :)
We will be in Atlantic City which after Sandy we almost lost forever, it is supposed to be 50 degrees and sunny so what the hell?
I will run when I can but not beat myself up if I walk a lot, I will take pictures, chat with other runners and just try to remember to have fun. That is what these things are supposed to be about right? I will NEVER - EVER win a race so why worry about time?
I will also *fingerscrossed* get to meet my fellow TTC and blogger Kim and I am excited about that!! She writes a great blog Barking Mad About Running.
Hell! I won a tutu from the race directors and even though I always said I would not run a race in a costume or tutu maybe I will for this one.....

Swamp Sistas: Beth McKee and a socio-musical swamp revival online and real timepurchase PDF
Authors: Susan Wilson Mills
DOI: 10.1386/ijcm.8.1.105_1
social networking,co-creativity,participatory culture,socio-musical community,virtual and real time,online music communities
Beth McKee, the singer/songwriter known for her Mississippi roots and music-recording career created a community of mostly American women known as the Swamp Sistas. Although the network was developed to energize McKee's female fan base, it quickly became a virtual and real-time social fabric, where artists, authors, colleagues and friends weave an ongoing tapestry of tradition and renewal. McKee's performances, tours, merchandise and albums ground the artistic and social repertoire of the Swamp Sistas. The message of sharing with and supporting one another served as a powerful and creative vehicle for McKee's musical presentations to new audiences. Her collaborations with educators, authors and artists fuelled the shared socio-musical trend, along with the performance venue she created in collaboration with the Swamp Sistas called the 'La La'. The Swamp Sistas phenomenon is about fans who became co-creators. They inspired song lyrics, planned, staged and performed with McKee or in other groups at La Las, changing a musician and her audience into a community, complete with shared values and social engagement. This article describes the Swamp Sistas based on research in the field that included online and real time musical and social participant observation. Lessons from the swamp include emphasis on the participatory and co-creative culture of Swamp Sistas and implications for building community in music education settings.

(Adds analyst comments, background)
Sept 10 (Reuters) - Banc of America Securities cut Goldman Sachs Group Inc's (GS.N) third-quarter and 2008 outlook, citing continued spread widening, challenging equity markets and lower-than-expected sales, trading and investment banking activity.
Analyst Michael Hecht, who had in Aug. 22 reduced his outlook for the largest U.S. securities firm, on Wednesday cut his third-quarter earnings view further by 29 percent to $1.77 a share. He also cut his 2008 earnings view for Goldman to $12.45 a share from $14.70. Hecht, however, said Goldman was the "best-positioned" global player in high-margin investment banking businesses, with a well-diversified mix of businesses, including size and breadth of fixed income sales and trading businesses.
Goldman and Morgan Stanley (MS.N) stand to benefit from stronger customer flow activity as other firms face more substantial de-leveraging pressures, Hecht said.
But this was "...still not enough to offset recent cyclical and seasonal pressures across most capital markets businesses the last three months," Hecht added.
The analyst cut his price target on Goldman stock to $182 from $186, and maintained his "neutral" rating.
Wall Street research analysts at Oppenheimer & Co, Merrill Lynch, Fox-Pitt Kelton, Sanford C. Bernstein, Ladenburg Thalmann & Co, Citigroup and Lehman Brothers have also cut their estimates on Goldman. Shares of the company closed at $161.67 Tuesday on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Falernia Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva Elqui Valley is one of the best red wines we know from South America! Cherry, cassis, blackberry, red paprika, black pepper, mocha, tobacco and cedar wood create a multi-faceted, warm, spicy and delicate bouquet of high fascination. On the palate, velvety tannins, a powerful body, juicy fruit and savoury spices inspire. The long finish combines red pepper and cassis with elegant toasted notes.
Spectacular 92P Cabernet Sauvignon from spectacular landscape
Similarly spectacular as the wine itself is its origin. The dry Elqui Valley, located near the Atacama Desert, is an "extreme" challenge for winegrowers, but the effort is worthwhile. With a lot of courage, dedication, passion and skill, the Gramola family, who immigrated from Italy about seventy years ago, has developed their Viña Falernia into a world-renowned premium winery. The 2015 vintage of the Falernia Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva is the most recent proof of their extraordinary mastery. We pull the hat – and 92+ BELViNi points!

AFR Statement: House Committee Approves Gift to Wall Street and Predatory Lenders
Submitted by admin on May 4, 2017 12:17 pm
Carter Dougherty
Communications Director
(202) 251-6700
Statement from Lisa Donner, executive director, Americans for Financial Reform:
"The committee has passed a bill that would give Wall Street and assorted predatory lenders a free hand to abuse consumers, and investors, and would increase the likelihood of another financial crisis. If it became law it would make life harder for American families, and for small businesses of all types. The rejection of numerous amendments unmasked any pretense to the contrary. It is a enormous package of gifts for Wall Street and the worst actors in finance."Tags: CHOICE Act, Congress, Hensarling, Wall Street

I visited the "magical animal" set found…… November 25th, "where is the magical animal" in the mainland, the magic world will open the door again. In January this year to London, there is a letter received owl, aboard the Hogwarts Express feeling. Because I want to go to the "magical animal where" the studio visit! This is a Muggle, really rare, a dream come true moment. So in the foggy, cold and wet winter morning in London, and I come from all over the world of Harry Potter fans together, sitting on a trip to the studio Warner train (actually bus.). The front row of a sister greeted me warmly, she said her name is Kate, from the United Kingdom, is the correspondent of Pottermore. What? This is the wizarding world 's Web base".

UK's Central Bank Terminates Plans to Roll Out its Own Digital Currency
Just days after the Bank of England, the United Kingdom's central bank, disclosed to the public that one of its many research divisions was looking into unveiling a cryptocurrency that is tied to pounds sterling, which is the UK's monetary unit, the bank disclosed that it had terminated all plans to roll out its very own virtual currency.
Some might be disappointed by this news, and the central bank stated that the plans were dropped due to certain concerns about the impact that the currency would have on the UK's financial system. More specifically, the Bank …

Brasserie De La Senne's Zwarte Piet
By: Benjamin Welton
Zwarte Piet, or "Black Pete," is a Christmas tradition in the Low Countries. Since at least 1850, Zwarte Piet and Sinterklaas have been busy distributing candies and other assorted goodies to good little Dutch and Belgian boys and girls on December 5th and 6th respectively. Typically, even though the name implies only one "Black Pete," seasonal celebrations usually contain hundreds of Zwarte Pieten dressed up like the folkloric character. All one needs are a black curly wig, some red lipstick, an outlandish Renaissance-era costume, and a heaping helping of blackface make-up.
That last little bit has been a cause for controversy for some time now. The Dutch, besides being laissez faire when it comes to personal choices (cannabis, prostitution, etc.) and social democratic in their economics, aren't too keen on giving in to those that call for the abandonment of St. Nicholas's Moorish helper. Even the United Nations, which sent a letter to the Dutch government that claimed that Zwarte Piet upholds "a stereotyped image of African people and people of African descent as second-class citizens, fostering an underlying sense of inferiority within Dutch society and stirring racial differences as well as racism," cannot break the Dutch and Belgian love for Santa's special helper, and the Brussels-based brewery Brasserie De La Senne add further "huzzahs" with their Zwarte Piet. Called a "Strong Dark Ale," this Belgian masterpiece is no longer made by the brewery, so be on the lookout for this beer where and when you can.
First Impression: Housed in a bottle that only contains 11.2 fl. oz, the Zwarte Piet is just a little guy, but the quality of this beer more than makes up for its impish size. Aesthetically, the label for this beer is well-made. Presenting "Black Pete" as a colonial-era hunter somewhere in the old Belgian Congo, this beer's presentation conjures up images not only of early twentieth century advertisements, but also the Art Deco style which was born during that last gasp of European colonial expansion (the 1920s and 1930s).
Pour: Creamy, turbid brown, and with a thick milky head, this beer is certainly not made for steamy African jungles or even Brussels in July. Probably intended for the Yuletide season, the Zwarte Piet is a robust beer that borders on being a porter without all the added bitterness of that style. Best served in a tulip-shaped glass, this beer leaves heavy tendrils of foam everywhere, and upon swishing this drink around, a bevy of black bubbles percolate like coffee in the glass's bottom.
Taste: This beer is deceptively smooth, even despite the heavy carbonation. The aftertaste denotes a smoky bitterness that glides on the tongue rather than smashes it. Chocolate and a trace of coffee can be discerned during the mouthfeel phase. Also at this point the beer's glaring deficiency pokes through. More watery and weak than it should be, this beer does not leave a lasting taste, nor does it humble your taste-buds into submission. Still, the Zwarte Piet is better than your average discontinued brew.

I'm thankful that the sturdy waterproof sandals I ordered arrived in time to use at this weekend's Relay for Life. I'll spend hours in the rain and puddles, and I'll do it with a grateful heart and a smile on my face. One of my favorite lines: Life's not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain. I've been looking forward to this year's Relay since last year's. Relay is the few hours each year I let myself return to my cancer experience.
In this blog I've already shared some of my cancer particulars: salivary gland tumor the size of a lemon; surgery, radiation; altered taste; lost hearing; radiation burns and scars. I haven't shared the struggle to find a new normal. I haven't shared what it was like trying to cram the rest of my life into a single minute because I was afraid I wouldn't have a chance to live it. I haven't shared what it's like to wonder daily whether this sensation or that signals the return of a tumor. I haven't shared what it's like to suddenly not be able to swim because muscles were cut during surgery. I haven't shared the discomfort of medications, the dizziness of a hole in my ear, the frustration of not being able to lead singing at Mass, of always having to use only my left ear when I use the phone, of using closed captions because I can't understand actors' mumbling on TV.
Nor have I shared my profound life shift: learning that I cramming life & food into me all at once doesn't help: that it's better for me to find the sacred in each moment and to not run myself ragged in some crazy effort to outlive death; that regular exams have shown no return of cancer (and the back of my mind says "yet"; that I am able to swim again, and am strengthening my shoulder in WOW; that I no longer have to take any pills, that I'm learning to manage the dizziness, that I can still sing – though not for anyone but my kids, that I experience changes in pitch just by blocking one ear or the other, and that there's very little on TV that's more worth watching than my life is worth living.
I was diagnosed when our eldest son was 9 months old. During the drive home from the doctor's, I had to ask "Did the he just say I have cancer?" I think I was still in shock. My next sentence: "I want to live to see my son grow up." And the flood gates start again. I finished treatment the day before his 1st birthday.
Relay for Life lets me walk a lap with other cancer survivors. We'll walk it at 6:00 tonight at Euclid High Stadium. We walk to celebrate that we're alive, and we walk to show others that there is hope. There is hope.
At 10:00 tonight there will be a candlelight ceremony during which names of loved ones lost and of persons diagnosed with cancer will be read.
From 6:00 tonight until noon on Saturday, team members will walk the track – most likely in thunderstorm and pouring rain – in a living metaphor of the long fight against cancer. It's a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, so there'll plenty of ways to spend money, have fun, and help the cause: a bounce house and kids' movies; music bands and karaoke; karate and jazzercise; raffles and bake sales.
On behalf of Euclid's Relay for Life, I invite you to come, experience, and participate. On behalf of those who have already been stricken by cancer, and for those who will be, I invite you.
Celebrate. Remember. Fight back.


text: I am trying to find some exercises I can do at work. I can shut my door, so that is helpful. So far, I am doing that chair-sit against the wall and push-ups on my filing cabinet. I could do crunches behind my desk, to avoid an awkward situation should anyone come in the door. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Monsoon rains cause most economic loss in September
Monsoon rains led to catastrophic flooding throughout parts of Pakistan and India in September, killing at least 648 people and damaging or destroying 375,000 homes. In India's Jammu and Kashmir region, the local government tentatively estimated economic losses of INR1.0trn – $16bn. Insured losses were estimated at INR9.0bn or $150mn. In Pakistan, economic losses in Punjab Province alone were put at PKR200bn – $2.0bn – representing the fifth consecutive year that Pakistan has endured a billion-dollar flood event, according to the latest Global Catastrophe Recap report from Aon Benfield's Impact Forecasting
Elsewhere in Asia the seasonal rains resulted in flooding across parts of Thailand, China, and northeastern India, causing combined economic losses in excess of $2.1bn.
Asia Pacific head of Impact Forecasting Adityam Krovvidi said that "floods causing significant economic losses are on the rise in Asia. Though the insured losses are very low for many events, the potential for a big surprise like the 2011 Thai floods is high. Pearl River Delta and Ho Chi Minh City among others are good examples in the region. Impact Forecasting has recognized the potential for major insured losses and has been developing several realistic disaster scenarios (RDS) for Asian floods in addition to fully probabilistic models. Work is complete or in progress in Thailand, China, Vietnam, Jakarta and Malaysia."
In developed markets, flooding hit the US, with one event seeing the aftermaths of Hurricane Norbert and Tropical Storm Dolly combining with monsoonal moisture to generate flash floods in Arizona, Nevada and California. Some locations recorded rainfall totals equal to a 1-in-1,000 year event, and the total economic loss approached $225m, with insurance losses approaching $100m.
Hurricane Odile struck Mexico's Baja Peninsula, killing five people and injuring 135 others. Total economic losses are expected to reach the low-digit billions of US dollars. Preliminary insured losses were put at a minimum of $522m.
Elsewhere, typhoon Kalmaegi made separate landfalls in the Philippines, China, and Vietnam, killing 31 people and producing combined economic losses of almost $3.0bn.

This post is dedicated to OldLadyPenPal, who has fired her knitting.
Sometimes, good knitting goes bad.
It starts out well enough. You cast on just like any other knitting project, join the round without twisted and off you go.
The knitting is full of potential....socks, a hat for that special someone, slippers to keep the feet warm in a cold winter.
But then somewhere along the way, the knitting turns bad.
In my case, it was the yarn that went bad. Technically, the yarn did not go bad, it went AWOL. I had originally purchased 2 skeins of Wildfoote Luxury Sock Yarn, and took one skein at least in my luggage to London on a business trip. I started the socks on that trip. At some point on the trip, I started the second sock, it might have been on the way home.
The yarn was looking a bit paltry by the time I got halfway up the foot of the second toe-up sock. I would definitely need the second skein to finish the socks. So I put the live stitches on waster yarn and wrapped them in a Sanitary Napkin Disposal baggie from the Radisson Edwardian Mayfair Hotel, and packed them away, pending finding the yarn.
Did I mention that the yarn was AWOL?
Missing in Action might be a better term for it. For all I know, that skein of yarn is happily tucked away somewhere in London next to my paperback novel that disappeared.
I have been through the stash repeatedly and No. Yarn.
I have searched the Internet for the colorway. No. Yarn.
I have now, 9 months later, abandoned all hope (Yes, I am of little faith that this yarn will ever appear.).
I had a completed sock, sans afterthought heel. I had a incomplete sock, also sans heel, and the teeniest of balls of yarn left.
I cogitated, I strategized, I procrastinated until finally, I picked up the sock and knit to the bitter end of the yarn. I then carefully compared the two cuffs and placing a needle into stitches at the halfway mark on the completed sock, I picked out the bind off and....
Ripped it all the way back to the needle.
Then I bound off that sock, and knit the rest of the cuff on the 2nd Sock.....used some other yarn for the heels and voila! I have prevailed.

I enjoy the hellish graphics there.
Impressive fix!!

Burn, baby, BURN!!!!
And it was not I who did the firing, it was I who was fired! For shame!
- cpurl17 said...
I love your graphics too! I'm sad about the MIA yarn but you made some hot socks there!
- Dreamy said...
Sad to hear about MIA yarn... I had a skein of regal silk that went missing during a road trip. I had it on one side of the Colorado river, but by the time we got to Blythe it disappeared. :( Months later I was going through bags that had been ripped through in a hurry looking for it (and the size 5s from my denise kit attatched)... and found my floppy hat, with the yarn inside. Yay! How it got in my hat, I have no idea. Lovely socks btw

I love the idea of people pushing the boundaries within tightly constrained mediums.
If you think about it entrepreneurs and artists, people who push new ideas out, they tend to operate within some tightly defined parameters.
How many singers push out songs more than three and a half minutes? How many film makers create films longer than three hours? How many startups take on two or three ideas at once?
This brings me to GIFs.
A tiny file size, mini animation, mostly for not apparent reason or value other than to entertain. Tiny moving pictures, cinemagraphs, made by… anyone.
