It would be so easy to condemn. She left her three-year-old child in the running truck, no car seat, no seat belt. He managed to pull it out of park, just playing around while waiting for his mom as she ran back into the laundromat to grab something she’d left behind. Somehow – maybe she hadn’t quite closed her door – he was thrown to the pavement as the truck lurched forward into the building’s wall . . . and then rolled back, crushing his skull.
So easy to point a finger, to think, “How could anyone be so negligent, so foolish?” So easy to despise her, to condemn her for the risk she took. So easy to think we’d never have done such a thing, never been so thoughtless with our own child.
But we are all of us this young woman. In this broken world, in this place where sin and the flesh cloud our reason (even when we have been made new in Christ; how much more if we have not), where we are so foolish and self-centered as to think – however subconsciously – “it won’t happen to me” or “it won’t happen this time,” we are all takers of foolish risks, meaning no harm yet daily courting tragedy.
The wonder is how often we avoid it, how often we “luck out” (or God lets our guardian angels intervene). As I listened to my daughter’s choked voice telling me of her next-door neighbor’s accident, the horrific death of her own son’s regular playmate, my mind replayed the hundred close calls with her and her four siblings, so many of them caused by little errors of judgment, little acts of commission or omission, never intentional desire to harm anyone.
We are all of us this young woman. We forget to replace the batteries in the smoke detector, because so many other urgent tasks crowd our minds; push above the speed limit, because we really don’t want to arrive at church late again; run alone despite warnings, because we need the time to think and nothing’s ever happened anyway; neglect the safety glasses, because they’re hard to see through and look silly besides . . . leave a child in a running vehicle, because our errand will take only a minute.
But these only mirror the more devastating spiritual risks we constantly take. We mean no harm; just as we can’t grasp that the logical consequences of our physical negligences may one day befall us, we are oblivious to the ways we court much worse disaster, disaster stemming from the self-absorption and pride which lead us to make little compromises with righteousness until our hearts are seared to Truth.
We are all of us this cavalier in our character. We neglect to pray for someone because our own harried concerns drive him from our thoughts; tell an authority we were ill when we have really been procrastinating, because we don’t want to appear lazy or irresponsible; allow a morsel of gossip to slide off the tongue, because we need to feel better about ourselves; follow the world’s fads and fashions, because it’s inconvenient and embarrassing to look or act “differently” . . . leave a friend alone in his sin, because we are afraid to offend.
And when someone else gets caught in some similar unnecessary risk, when it doesn’t pay off and tragedy ensues, we frown and self-righteously note how he should have known better, should never have been so foolish in the first place.
Perhaps so. And perhaps tomorrow or next week or next year, meaning no harm, we who condemn will take one risk too many, in the wrong place, at the wrong time. And in the ensuing tragedy, what will we hope for, crave, desperately need? Mercy, comfort, forgiveness – and someone to walk with us through the valley and point us to the One who offers true consolation.
“Judge not, that you be not judged,” our Lord warns us. “For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you” (Matt. 7:1-2 ESV).
We are all of us that young woman. We cannot avoid being human, taking calculated but unnecessary risks at times, at times being entirely oblivious that a choice we make even is risky. May we always remember, when we hear of tragedies that could so easily have been prevented, that it could so easily have been any one of us. And, as believers in a God of mercy, may we obey the Scriptures, “put[ting] on . . . compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience . . .” (Col. 3:12 ESV).
Yesterday I chose a black skirt and a new red short-sleeved jacket to wear to church. I thought I would wear the red hat my mother-in-law gave me years ago; I love it but don’t have a lot of chance to wear it, and this seemed perfect. Then I remembered the Red Hat Society. I’d never heard of it till recently, when I discovered that several ladies in my church are part of it. They’re great women, always looking for ways to minister to others, especially younger women who need a friend or a meal or whatever.
But they wear red hats. And I began to wonder what others would think if I wore my red hat to church. I’m not a Red Hat lady, after all. Would members think I was flouting them somehow? Would others think I was flaunting a membership I don’t actually have? The Red Hat ladies don’t wear their red hats to church, you see; they reserve them to wear with their purple dresses in their meetings or when they explain the Society at retreats and so on. They are meant to symbolize eccentricity, and Southern ladies are not eccentric in church.
So I didn’t wear my red hat, which just a few years ago would have been merely a fashion choice but has suddenly become more than that: wearing it may send messages I don’t intend; not wearing it makes me a coward. Frustrating.
In other words, it’s all about choosing to do those things that she enjoys without having to bow to the conventions of the culture. She knows she’s got to be at least mostly conventional now, while she has children and needs to be a responsible adult in raising them. But someday, she knows too, she will be free of that responsibility and intends to be “shocking” by doing or having some of those “silly” or “extravagant” things that appeal to her.
So . . . now we have a whole Society devoted to the convention of wearing red hats and purple dresses, and making me – whom red suits quite well, thank you – feel that I can’t make a personal fashion choice that I used to make without much thought. In other words, they’ve undermined the whole point.

Davie County Social Services is committed to providing training and support every step of the way. Common questions are received by the department concerning the requirements for becoming a foster parent. Below are just a sample of those frequently asked questions.
What is required to become a foster parent in North Carolina?
Foster parents must be at least 21 years old, have a stable home and income, be willing to be finger printed and have a criminal records check, maintain a drug free environment and complete all required training and be licensed by the state of North Carolina.
Who are the children in need of foster parents?
The children that are placed into the state foster care program have typically been neglected, abused or abandoned, and range in age from infancy through 18 years of age. Children may also be a part of a sibling group, have special needs and represent various cultural and economic groups.
What kind of assistance is available for foster parents?
Foster parents receive financial compensation from the placement agency for a child’s room, board, and other living expenses. Sometimes there are supplemental payments for the care of children with special needs.
Who can I contact to learn more about becoming a foster parent in Davie County?
Interested individuals and families may contact the Davie County Department of Social Services at 336-753-6253.
Adoption is the method by law to establish the legal relationship of parent and child between persons who are not so related by birth, with the same mutual rights and obligations that exist between children and their birth parents. The primary purpose of adoption is to help children whose parents are incapable of assuming or continuing parental responsibilities to become part of a new family.
This service provides intensive services to children, both in foster care and at home in terms of making permanent plans for them. Permanency planning prevents foster care drift and promotes better planning for children in Social Services caseloads.
Davie County's independent living services provide adolescents 16-21 years old with additional services while they reside in foster care and during the follow-up that will help them in developing independent living skills. The purpose of this program is to ensure participants may have a more successful transition to living on their own following discharge from foster care.
For questions about Davie County's foster care, adoption or independent living services, please contact the Social Services Department at (336) 753-6250.

The principles under which this country was founded are beautiful, morally right, and some might even say divinely inspired. But they are not that hard to understand; in fact, they’re pretty darn simple. Everyone is free to believe what they wish, to speak their mind, and crucially, to cast a vote that will help determine who wins the privilege and honor of representing the people in public office. The counting of these votes is sacred to American democracy, because its their preponderance that decides a winner: If you get the most votes, you win; those with fewer votes have had their chance and have failed. Simple.
Somehow, these basic ideas that underpin our political system are under attack in this present presidential campaign. In both the Republican and Democrat primaries, vast support is rallying behind candidates who may very well not walk away with their party’s nomination. Now, I’m no supporter of the self-described “Democratic Socialist” Bernie Sanders, whose policies would be every bit as bad (and possibly even worse) for this country as those of Hillary Clinton, but I’ll acknowledge that his leftist supporters are many, yet frustrated by the fact that even when he decisively wins states, he often ends up splitting delegates evenly with Clinton.
Then we have the Republican Party, which is presently in the midst of a bona fide political revolution. Something that never should have been able to happen, has happened: An outsider candidate, owing no loyalty (and no money) to the party’s establishment and espousing political positions which they cannot abide, is strongly positioned as the frontrunner and is virtually certain to enter the GOP convention with the most delegates. Donald Trump is the end result of the Republican Party elite’s self-centered attitude and flagrant disregard for their voter base over years, if not decades. The rank and file of the GOP is tired of being taken for granted, forced to swallow liberal candidates barely better than the Democrat alternatives and feeling more and more alienated from a party that cares little to nothing for them or their struggles. They are massing in support of Trump, and their message is clear: They want a candidate who puts America first, something the party has failed to do for far too long.
So how is it possible, even likely at this juncture, that the Republican nomination will go to someone other than Trump? Because ultimately, the GOP’s system of naming a candidate is designed specifically to prevent this kind of thing from happening. Sure, walk in to the convention with a majority (50% plus 1) of delegates and the nomination is yours, but fall short by even a single vote and every delegate you won – those representing millions of people who voted for you – are free to “vote their conscience”, which is a nice way of saying they do whatever the heck they want. That’s right; it is entirely possible for someone to win 49% of the overall Republican vote, yet fail to win the nomination because their delegates decided to disregard the will of the voters.
And it looks like that is what may happen here. At this point, Texas Senator Ted Cruz has all but given up in the task of winning more votes than Donald Trump, and that’s understandable: Trump has him beat. But he remains in the race, and his strategy has been to fight Trump for every delegate – not because Cruz thinks he can win a majority, but because he wants to make sure Trump doesn’t. Then he will go to the convention and carry out the party’s muddy dealings to allow him to pilfer the nomination, even though he has not earned the peoples vote under any theory of democracy. Understandably this is rarely done and it is not something the people voted for, the people voted for a candidate not a delegate.
Let’s be clear that this is no mean annoyance. Donald Trump’s status as Republican frontrunner is the result of vast dissatisfaction with the behavior of the party elite, and represents the people of the GOP making their voices heard. That is what democracy is all about. If Donald Trump goes to that Republican convention with the most delegates, but some rare Trojan Horse of party mechanics allows Ted Cruz (or anyone else) to leave as the nominee, the real loser isn’t Trump: It’s the American voter.

As a Padres aficionado, there are a few suggestions I would love to post about this talented, and underachieving team. Top brass needs to consider firing both Andy Green and the G.M. Our current manager fails to make adjustments with the line-up--failing to constantly shift the batting order to accommodate the players where they would help the team best. Are you kidding me? Hosmer batting 2nd, instead of 3rd? We have one of the best lead-off hitters in the majors. J-kowski is having an all-star year, so far. Andy, try to find a batter with speed, who can hit a fastball and who will keep his strikeouts to a minimum to bat 2nd. Bring in more quality veteran bats to placate to kids, G.M. Looking at the news, you brought in an extra arm.
Lauer pitched only 2 1/3 innings yesterday. 3 strikeouts at 69 pitches and on a poor outing. That kid has talent! Many other components of this team has talent, too. Talent that can win a World Series pennant, with a great baseball mind and patience.
Good luck with the remainder of the season, Dads.
I disagree.this team has some talent but is still in the middle of the rebuild, they are currently exactly playing according to their pre season projection (.456 record vs .447 full season projection).
Preller did a mistake a couple years ago selling his farm for veterans to compete but he quickly corrected that by selling off and building an even better farm system. most of the top talent is still in the minors (tatis, gore, urias, espinosa and some others). there are a few promising pieces in the majors already but the bottom half of the roster is still very bad including almost the whole rotation.
This is no guarantee for a sucess and some of the young players need to take a step forward but since preller was allowed a rebuild after his failed attempt he needs to be given time until the current wave of prospects have arrived.
now you could fire green I guess but not sure what the point is when the team is clearly a sub 500 team and realisitically again a top5 pick candidate (especially since there likely will be another sell off of relievers at the deadline).

lauer pitched only 2 1/3 innings yesterday. 3 strikeouts at 69 pitches and on a poor outing. that kid has talent! many other components of this team has talent, too. talent that can win a world series pennant, with a great baseball mind and patience.
good luck with the remainder of the season, dads.
i disagree.this team has some talent but is still in the middle of the rebuild, they are currently exactly playing according to their pre season projection (.456 record vs .447 full season projection).
preller did a mistake a couple years ago selling his farm for veterans to compete but he quickly corrected that by selling off and building an even better farm system. most of the top talent is still in the minors (tatis, gore, urias, espinosa and some others). there are a few promising pieces in the majors already but the bottom half of the roster is still very bad including almost the whole rotation.
this is no guarantee for a sucess and some of the young players need to take a step forward but since preller was allowed a rebuild after his failed attempt he needs to be given time until the current wave of prospects have arrived.
now you could fire green i guess but not sure what the point is when the team is clearly a sub 500 team and realisitically again a top5 pick candidate (especially since there likely will be another sell off of relievers at the deadline).

The eccentric PayPal billionaire doesn’t just invest in Silicon Valley tech companies. He’s giving money for crazy projects that do everything from get power from the weather to find ways to program human cells like computers.
Paypal Co-Founder Peter Thiel isn’t the kind of guy who invests in mindless smartphone apps that make lots of cash. He’s not anti-software by any means; he has sunk millions into accounting software company Xero. But Thiel also doles out cash to companies doing things that aren’t just world-changing–they seem insane (in a good way). Could we expect anything less from the guy that’s funding a floating startup incubator for foreign entrepreneurs?
Thiel’s latest investment–a $300,000 bet–is in AVEtec, a startup from Canadian engineer Louis Michaud that wants to harness the energy created by tornados. Michaud doesn’t want to chase tornados a la Twister; he plans to generate man-made tornados that can be safely switched off if necessary.
Michaud’s design features warm air blown into a hollow cylinder, where it turns into a “controlled vortex” (aka a tornado) that’s supported by the temperature difference between the heated air in the cylinder and the atmosphere. No carbon emissions are produced, no energy storage is required, the device can produce 200 megawatts of electrical power (the same as a coal power plant) and power can potentially be produced at just three cents per kilowatt hour.
Now Michaud just needs to build the proof of concept–a project that will be helped along by Thiel’s cash. He’s working on a 131-foot-tall, 26-foot-in-diameter prototype at Lambton College in Ontario.
AVEtec is one of 12 startups that Thiel is funding through Breakout Labs, a program of the Thiel Foundation that the organization calls “a revolutionary, revolving funding model through which successful projects fund the next generation of daring scientific exploration.” Some of our other favorites are listed below.
An alligator purse that doesn’t require killing an animal. A burger that keeps cows intact. That’s the far-out dream of Modern Meadow, a startup that could have test tube leather ready for large-scale production in five years. To make leather, the startup biopsies a living animal, isolates the necessary cells, multiplies them in a bioreactor, centrifuges them into spheres of thousands of cells, layers and fuses cell aggregates, matures the cells in a bioreactor, and harvests the skin tissue. All for your guilt-free leather accessory.
“At this point, the goal is to create products that are both biomimetic–very, very similar to real leather–and also to look at ways that we can improve upon it and make products that are superior to traditional leather,” CEO Andras Forgacs told Co.Exist in an interview earlier this year. Down the line, Modern Meadow will move into test tube meat. Why buy a cow when you can get the meat from a lab?
This company has the ambitious goal of creating a universal system for gathering and identifying airborne toxins. The research for the project is being conducted at the Northwestern University Department of Biomedical Engineering.
Inspirotec is working on two different models: a portable air collector that collects samples which can be analyzed in a lab (available in 2013), and a more-ambitious sounding next-generation portable collector that allows for real-time monitoring. The Inspirotec website explains that “It is based on well-established biological detection methods and connects with smart devices allowing for mobile applications.” Funding from Breakout will be used to create a proof-of-concept device.
This startup, founded by a computer security expert, is taking a programmer’s approach to disease treatment: The company wants to program patients’ cells to become tiny drug factories. The website explains: “Within 50 years, we will program human cells like we program computers. Envision a stand-alone device capable of modifying a patient’s cells to manufacture biologic-based therapies for a wide range of disease including cardiovascular disease, cancers, infectious diseases, and lysosomal storage diseases. Programming a patient’s cells to manufacture their own treatments could dramatically reduce therapy costs.” With the price for certain cancer treatments hovering over $100,000 per year, that’s a big deal.
Within 50 years, we will program human cells like we program computers.
Immosoft is testing its methods first with a rare genetic disease called MPS I. If the company is successful, it will program the human immune system to generate cells that secrete enzymes to treat the disease, first in genetically modified mice before moving on eventually to humans. Immusoft has already conducted a proof of concept for its treatment where B cells were modified from a healthy human to create antibodies that neutralize HIV.
Organ transplants are tricky, time-sensitive things–if an organ isn’t transplanted within hours, there’s a decent chance it will be rejected. That doesn’t bode well for patients, who may have a perfectly good organ waiting for them–on the other side of the world. Arigos Biomedical is working on high-speed methods to cool organs for long-term preservation. One day, patients may be able to receive organs that have been preserved for months or even longer.
Arigos doesn’t have a website (that we can find, anyway), but co-founder Tanya Jones told the Silicon Valley / San Jose Business Journal: “We’ve done all the math that we can do to prove that this method will work … now it’s a matter of actually beginning to use organs. We are hoping to basically have all the pictures and all the proof necessary.” First up: testing the technology with animal organs.

Tired of waiting for so many 2nd calls or emails that never came, I began thinking that coming to Costa Rica, the source of quality coffee, to learn about coffee maybe wasn’t such a good idea after all. Looking back, I was carrying a decent amount of stress with me and I was losing a good amount of weight. I began toying with the idea of getting a job outside of coffee. Get something that wouldn’t have anything to do with specialty coffee, or even hospitality for that matter, but could afford me the opportunity to survive financially and volunteer after work or on the weekends at a cafe since I “lacked experience.” Swallowing my pride, I accepted a volunteer position (via a good family friend) at Cafeoteca, one of the previous cafes that more or less scoffed at my inexperience. They just happened to be one of the best speciality coffee shops in Costa Rica.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to check out Viva el Cafe 2018 at Costa Rica’s National Stadium located in La Sabana District, a quick 15 minute car ride from downtown San Jose.
For me, personally, this event was nowhere near the energy level that was Expo Cafe Tarrazu. Perhaps it was the large tent we were in that didn’t allow any sunlight in despite the beautiful weather outside. Or it may have been the bigger names in coffee that were at this event that didnt feel the need to “sell” the coffee they were passionate about and instead could simply stand behind their display, knowing customers would buy. Or perhaps it was the $4 entry fee that made the “free” Viva Cafe bag seem that much less desirable. Whatever the reason, the Tarrazu event was much more intimate, with smaller, family owned brands promoting a product they’re proud of.
Of course that’s not to say that there were not enthusiastic brands, excited to tell you about their coffee, there certainly were (with amazing coffee as well) , just to a lesser extent.
Nonetheless, if you have an interest in coffee, it is worth the visit, especially if you live in San Jose. Unlike Expo Cafe that had beans just from the Tarrazu region, Viva Cafe had beans from all over Costa Rica, Single Origin, specialty blends, and even an anaerobic blend that had the fruttiest taste I had ever experienced with coffee (a bit too much for me, but I can see there being a market for it).
The best part of Viva Cafe 2018? Running into old friends from Cafe Doga! Back at it again with great coffee and amazing customer service. I don’t think Coffee brands were ranked based on hospitality at Viva Cafe, but if they were, Cafe Doga would win, without a doubt.
Above is a $60,000 roaster that takes all of the guesswork out of roasting. Mr. Cercone and his company Espresso Latam SA are giving a roasting course using this futuristic roaster from 21-23 March in Alajuela, Costa Rica to anyone interested.
As many of you may know, one of my biggest passions in life, besides sharing positive vibes, is coffee (see referenced coffee post here). There are so many aspects to the world of coffee. From growing it, to processing it, to exporting it, to even serving it, the possibilities are near endless. And with such a variety on growing conditions, processing procedures, and preparation methods, the possibilities are in fact endless. And with Costa Rica being the center of coffee culture, both historically and currently, it was a no brainer that I ended up here. Fortunately for me, just a few days after I arrived to Costa Rica, I learned that a pretty big coffee event was happening just 90 minutes South of San Jose, Expo Cafe Tarrazu 2018. Another no brainer.
Now, if you look at a map of Costa Rica, and see the distance between San Jose and San Marcos, where the event was being held, you might think, “Oh, only 60 km away, we’ll easily be there in under an hour.” Well if that is your first thought, then you, my friend, have never driven in Costa Rica.
If you look at the map above, and compare it to the map below showcasing the distance between Virginia Beach and Richmond (and ignoring my low battery percentage of course) you will see that the second map, is nearly double the distance of the first, but takes roughly the same amount of time. Why? Well driving here is certainly not for the faint of heart. With sudden turns, dramatic inclines, two lanes abruptly turning into one, landslides, and misplaced guard rails that allow enough of an opening to let your imagination run wild, it’s no surprise that 60 km takes well over 90 minutes to trek through.
Well, we were brave enough to make that trek today in search of coffee and we’re very glad we did. San Marcos/Tarrazu is located in a beautiful valley surrounded by the Talamanca Sierra Mountains. With a minimum altitude of just over 1300 meters above sea level, and a maximum of 3000 meters, the area is perfect for growing quality, high-land coffee. Its been said that the coffee grown in this region is the most desirable coffee in Costa Rica, which in turn makes it the most desirable coffee in the world. To prove as much, in 2012, coffee grown in Tarrazu was the most expensive coffee sold in Starbucks in The United States.
Expo Cafe is held here annually and it consists of local producers showcasing the quality of their beans/coffee at various stands throughout the marketplace. Below are a few pictures from the event, with small pieces of info about the brand, and a link or email if I could find one. The event lasts a full two days and is supplemented with clothing stands, jewelry stands, and of course food stands, all Tico flavored.
Some of the show casers, like Cafe Ave del Paraiso, are relatively new to the coffee scene, introducing fresh ideas and vibrant energy into coffee cultures. Others are more established, having been in operation for countless generations, defining the standards expected of the coffee bean from the region.
Extremely friendly family with great recommendation for coffee, not just their own.
This photo above may have been one of my favorite pictures, but thanks to my sister’s….sorry, thanks to my camera’s mistake, the focus didn’t quite come out right. Nonetheless Ms. Tatiana Gutierrez was one of the most helpful and friendliest owners I had the pleasure of meeting today (not to mention the coffee was outstanding) Really excited to get back down to Tarrazu to check out the source of their coffee!
Another producer I had the pleasure of meeting today, Arturo (pictured below), was actually studying Japanese and caught me off guard with a quick “Yokouso.” Very pleasant, down to earth guy that was obviously very knowledgable in the world of coffee. Of course to make things even better he had absolutely delicious coffee as well. Also looking forward to visiting this farm. Best of luck with your Japanese!
Overall was an amazing event and I can’t wait until the next Expo Cafe. Took home a few beans today (from the three stands with great taste and excellent customer service) that I can’t wait to try first thing in the morning. Appreciate the amazing experience Tarrazu.

With the same love and passion from 1962 to today, the Kosteas family faithfully follows the successful recipe that has made Ouzo Kostea top on the consumer’s preferences. It is available in 43% vol., 41% vol. And 37.5% vol in various packages from 50 ml to 1 Lt. Our 60 years anniversary bottle contains the best ouzo we have ever made.
The production of ouzo began in Greece in the middle of the 19th century, in Kalamata and in Tirnavos.
The ouzo started like a tsipouro “sweat”. Its exceptional quality, however, increased the demand so that in the 1920s, when the grape production was greatly reduced due to the phylloxera, which invaded the Greek vineyard, as well as the war events of that period, the distillers began resorting to other practices , some even ceased to use anise to flavor it.
Today, the traditional Ouzo recipe, based on anise seeds, continues in Greece.
Ouzo is usually accompanied by appetizers, such as octopus, salads etc.
Serve in small or thin glasses and add fresh water and / or ice to the drink. After the addition of water, the beverage has a characteristic off-white colour due to its anise. Caution: never store in the refrigerator.
Tsipouro has been added to Kosteas’s product range in the past few years. But it quickly captured the hearts of the people and became their favorite tsipouro. Available in 41% vol and 38% vol in various packages from 50 ml to 1 Lt. Our 60 years anniversary bottle contains the best tsipouro we have ever made.
Tsipouro is a Greek alcoholic drink that started its course about 7 centuries ago in the monasteries of Mount Athos. Tsikoudia or Raki in Crete is something similar, but the main difference is that tsikoudia is the product of single distillation.
In other countries, such beverages are Italian Grappa and Arak in the Middle East. Tsipouro usually has 36 to 45 alcoholic degrees. It should not be confused with ouzo, a drink with a different way of preparing.
Tsipouro is served in small glasses and is sometimes consumed neat, it is usually accompanied by appetizers. Selected appetizers for tsipouro are considered pastourmas, walnuts and olives. Water or ice is often added to the drink. In some monasteries of Mount Athos, the monks welcome guests with tsipouro and a loukoumi, the combination of which relaxes the muscles and offers energy.
We first started with the Mastic liqueur, which became a much faster seller than we ever thought. We have now entered dynamically in the production of liqueurs, creating another 3 flavours. This means that one can now find four flavours: Mastic, Watermelon, Coconut and Curacao. All four are best enjoyed refrigerated, following your meal. Taste them and let them take you on a journey to the good old days.

with the same love and passion from 1962 to today, the kosteas family faithfully follows the successful recipe that has made ouzo kostea top on the consumer’s preferences. it is available in 43% vol., 41% vol. and 37.5% vol in various packages from 50 ml to 1 lt. our 60 years anniversary bottle contains the best ouzo we have ever made.
the production of ouzo began in greece in the middle of the 19th century, in kalamata and in tirnavos.
the ouzo started like a tsipouro “sweat”. its exceptional quality, however, increased the demand so that in the 1920s, when the grape production was greatly reduced due to the phylloxera, which invaded the greek vineyard, as well as the war events of that period, the distillers began resorting to other practices , some even ceased to use anise to flavor it.
today, the traditional ouzo recipe, based on anise seeds, continues in greece.
ouzo is usually accompanied by appetizers, such as octopus, salads etc.
serve in small or thin glasses and add fresh water and / or ice to the drink. after the addition of water, the beverage has a characteristic off-white colour due to its anise. caution: never store in the refrigerator.
tsipouro has been added to kosteas’s product range in the past few years. but it quickly captured the hearts of the people and became their favorite tsipouro. available in 41% vol and 38% vol in various packages from 50 ml to 1 lt. our 60 years anniversary bottle contains the best tsipouro we have ever made.
tsipouro is a greek alcoholic drink that started its course about 7 centuries ago in the monasteries of mount athos. tsikoudia or raki in crete is something similar, but the main difference is that tsikoudia is the product of single distillation.
in other countries, such beverages are italian grappa and arak in the middle east. tsipouro usually has 36 to 45 alcoholic degrees. it should not be confused with ouzo, a drink with a different way of preparing.
tsipouro is served in small glasses and is sometimes consumed neat, it is usually accompanied by appetizers. selected appetizers for tsipouro are considered pastourmas, walnuts and olives. water or ice is often added to the drink. in some monasteries of mount athos, the monks welcome guests with tsipouro and a loukoumi, the combination of which relaxes the muscles and offers energy.
we first started with the mastic liqueur, which became a much faster seller than we ever thought. we have now entered dynamically in the production of liqueurs, creating another 3 flavours. this means that one can now find four flavours: mastic, watermelon, coconut and curacao. all four are best enjoyed refrigerated, following your meal. taste them and let them take you on a journey to the good old days.

This is indeed an interesting move that should have been introduced from the outset in the design of high rise structures. Bearing in mind that 40% of fires Worldwide are caused by electrical cable malfunction it is imperative that the electrical cable is also taken into account. Cables are taken the length and breadth of every building and cables have been frequently known to assist in the spread of fire in highrise buildings. Most electrical cables will burn and emit smoke and toxic fumes.
1. How about existing high-rise blocks, built in the 70-ties, 80-ties etc.
2. Who will pay for the removal of such cladding materials if the building is owned by a local authority? Leaseholders?

It’s not just for instant development that Mathematica 6 is newly optimized. The integrated development environment (IDE), allied with Mathematica’s advanced programming language and world-leading computational capabilities, makes it ideal for the opposite end of the spectrum--infrastructure development--and everything in between.
Today’s is Mathematica 6--in many respects a completely new product, one with several hundred additional groundbreaking technologies developed over more than a decade at Wolfram Research.
"In compatibility terms, Mathematica 6 is an upgrade. In capability terms, this is a major new product," said Stephen Wolfram, CEO of Wolfram Research. "Mathematica’s been reinvented."
Mathematica 6 takes technical computing to a new level: more tightly bound, more natural, and more automated, applicable to a far wider range of areas than ever before. Central to this achievement is "instant interactivity"--taking models, simulations, computations, or just about any concepts and turning them into fully interactive applications, sometimes within seconds. This new way of working drastically improves innovation--the process of transforming ideas into highly optimized results.
"In 1988, Mathematica transformed scientific computing from something you hire a programmer to do into something you can just do yourself. In 2007, we are doing the same for live interactive interface creation," said Theodore Gray, director of user interface technology. "No other system comes close to providing this kind of nimble, fluid environment for creating dynamic interactive interfaces, which, because of the underlying power of Mathematica, often turn out to have astonishing depth and variety."
"It’s a unique facet of Mathematica 6 that it’s so appropriate at all scales: from one-off mini-applications through large-scale infrastructure projects," said Tom Wickham-Jones, director of kernel technology. "Whenever you think of doing technical development, think of Mathematica 6."
"These days, the main hurdle to using Mathematica in technical work is thinking of using it--its scope is wider than almost anyone imagines," added Conrad Wolfram, director of strategic and international development.
Nearly a thousand new computational and interface features enhance Mathematica 6’s revolutionary new approach. Several of these would individually classify Version 6 as a major release, and some broaden Mathematica to encompass the capabilities of whole competing products.
"We’ve built the highest base of functionality consistently across all technical areas--quite a different concept than our competitors’," said Roger Germundsson, director of research and development. "They make spikes of specialist functionality--which might work if your needs sit on a spike, but miss completely if you have to do something just a little different, new, or innovative."
"We thought about renaming Mathematica altogether," said Stephen Wolfram. "It’s that new. But we decided instead to highlight the ongoing importance of its original symbolic architecture by just calling it Mathematica 6."

The official software package of the SDRplay range of products is SDRuno and it has recently been updated to version 1.22. SDRuno is also compatible with the RTL-SDR.
In addition to some UI improvements for new users, the main changes are pasted below. What's also very interesting is their road map which states that future versions of SDRuno will have frequency scanning capabilities, a remote network streaming server/client implementation and an API for the support of third party plugins. This would improve it's capabilities similar to that of SDR#.
• SP2 CWAFC drift issue (Zoom/window size/freq display) – will be addressed in 1.23, workaround for now is to zoom out fully in the SP2 window and then the CWAFC feature will work.
Following on from the 1.21 release where we outlined the features for coming releases, we have updated our plans, as shown below. The purpose of publishing this information is to give people an insight to the development plans but it is NOT a guarantee of the exact feature line-up and we cannot give release dates.
UPDATE: Mike Ladd from SDRplay has uploaded a video showing what's in the new version.
I personally would like to see LNA based AGC, without any IF gains. In my experience, increasing IF gain causes amplifying any background noises, so I keep it at minimum all the time.
In the hardware side I’d like to see one extra LNA for VHF+ and a real superheterodyne with high first intermediate frequency, like 200MHz, and a real SAW filter. It needs also much better antenna input separation.
That would pump SdrPlay quality many steps upwards.
Just downloaded it couple days ago, it’s amazing how much minor details can improve the whole experience! SDRUNO is pleasure to use now.
I wish they added or at least planned adding something like DCD for decoding digital voice.
