Kerry Properties Ltd, one of Hong Kong's prime real estate property developer and investment companies, is set to be the major bidder for the Kowloon Tong property in Hong Kong. This is after Kerry's acquisition of the adjoining property at 1 Ede Road last August for HK$1.28 billion.
The to-be-auctioned land covers the area of 30,225 square feet and is located at 3 and 5 Ede Road. The property is said to be auctioned for about HK$1.54 billion or $199 million, according to surveyors.
The site represents a space value of HK$15,400 to HK$19 per square feet.
A Hong Kong- based analyst, David Ng, who is from the Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc said that the result shows that the prices of luxury residential units will continue to diverge from the public market.
A senior official for Kerry Properties, the real estate property developer said that the company hopes to develop and build more luxurious properties on the combined area.
This auction is the eighth by the government in the present economic year. The Ede Road site has an utmost 'for-development-area' of 90,676 square feet, an is considered a prime site for any real estate property developer.
A real estate property developer would be interested in building high-priced properties in the district because Hong Kong's residential prices have pitched about 47 percent since the first quarter of 2009, according to Centaline Property Agency Ltd's statistics.
Kelly Properties is also a known real estate property developer for strategically located logistics centres and warehouses. They also established top quality properties in major locations and develop prime infrastructure projects.
Other real estate property developer who will bid in the auction are Cheung Kong (Holdings) Ltd and New World Development Co Ltd.

Are you trendy? Recently I've noticed the trends in similar thought across the web. It's been one too many times I've seen an idea, thought, website or marketing plan duplicated by others. Which makes me question what is actually creative? Where does original thought come in? Or is it better to be trendy?
According to Urban Dictionary one definition of trendy is:
A word that's used to describe something (mainly fashion and music) that is "hip and "cool".
Other keywords included are mainstream, conformism, lack of individuality…you get the picture.
People tend to…
- write a certain way, because that's what they were taught
- market a certain way, because they are (generally) replicating a successful marketing campaign
- run their businesses a certain way because it's a learned trend
The world is continually progressing and what worked 30 years ago is not necessarily what works now. The thing is, if you're doing the same thing everyone else is doing, nothing changes and the competition become steep.
Although it seems as if everything under the sun has already been discovered or created and history is stuck in endless repetition, I must admit we're continually evolving. Especially when it comes to technology. Yet sometimes when I use my fingerprint to unlock my phone, I wonder if we're moving one step closer to the foreshadowing told in Robopocalypse and iRobot.
While technology is on the fast-track, consumers are only invited to join the party of technology which can be mass marketed. Which leaves the question, what else is out there we don't know about? The realization is, there is a lot and it takes someone who's uncomfortable with staying comfortable, continues to reach and stops following the masses to find the unique, test the unknown and discover the next trend if you will.
How do you define trendy?

If you are in some way part of the great IoT - Internet of Things - world, this article may interest you. Our IoT Open Lab is a laboratory for
- collecting
- guiding
- developing
- and testing solutions for the Internet of Things
An "innovation centre" which uses the environment and technologies of TIM's commercial and pre-commercial networks, including the very recent Narrowband IoT technology based on the evolution of the 4G network.
It is located in Turin and was opened on 16 November 2016. If you want more information after reading this article, write to us at: email@example.com.
Ecosystem enabler and Business Accelerator
The Lab is open to all players in the IoT ecosystem:
- device manufacturers,
- service companies,
- research centres,
- local administrations and institutions,
- businesses,
so that they can offer their customers or citizens the IoT solutions made economically sustainable by our narrowband-IoT technology.
With our Open Lab we make it easier to take advantage of the new business prospects presented by the Internet of Things, reducing the complexity of development, supporting time-to-market, partnerships for new sales channels and income opportunities, in an ecosystem logic.
The services: training, testing, development and trials
Training activities
The Lab is a qualified place for training your staff: in addition to cutting-edge technologies, here you will also find our experts with specialist skills who are up-to-date on the latest IoT innovations, thanks to the active presence of TIM in the international context of this sector.
Testing activities
In the Lab you will find:
- a workstation for testing NB-IoT radio coverage, with a console that allows you to adjust the level of the signal received so as to reproduce the behaviour of the receiver in different conditions (outdoor, indoor or even deep indoor);
- an IT platform (ICON) in the cloud environment on the public network, with access via REST protocols, for the collection and processing of data;
- availability of NB-IoT SIMs.
The laboratory is therefore suited to all your IoT devices, as long as they are equipped with radio connection modules, from 2G to LTE as well as other radio technologies, such as Wireless MBus at 169 Mhz.
To carry out the underground NB-IoT radio tests it is preferable for the device to be fitted with an easily accessible connector for an external antenna. If it is not, with the support of our staff, you can carry out the test by positioning your device in a shield box (dimensions approx. 25x25x25 cm) – there is a picture of one at the end of this article.
Development activities
The Lab is also the right place if you are thinking about specific development activities for end-to-end solutions, for example providing particular smart services. Here you will be able to:
- use the dedicated laboratory work station,
- bring your developers on-site - embedded programming skills for IoT devices will be required,
- use the APIs in the cloud which we make available to you with the ICON platform - which our developers will illustrate to you.

We must be fully committed, but we must also be aware at the same time that we might possibly be wrong. People who claim to be absolutely convinced that their stand is the only right one...is a dead giveaway of unconscious doubt. Commitment is healthiest when it is not without doubt, but in spite of doubt.

Rumors about a mini version of Microsoft's Surface tablet have been going around for quite some time—over a year, in fact. We've yet to see an announcement from Microsoft, but as TechCrunch reports, there's evidence to suggest the tablet might be close to release.
Amazon has put up listings for a pair of cases, both of which are marketed as add-ons for the "Microsoft Surface Mini." The name of the unannounced device is repeated in both the product names and the accompanying descriptions. One of the bullet points, for instance, is, "DETACHABLE Bluetooth V3.0 keyboard that works seemlessly with your Microsoft Surface Mini tablet."
Each listing also has a picture gallery, which shows the case wrapped around what may be an eight-inch tablet. There's nothing ostensibly Surface-like about the device, though, as far as I can tell. Its edges are more curved than angular, and the front doesn't look all the different from any of the other eight-inch Windows 8.1 slates out there.
According to Amazon, both cases will be in stock on May 18. Perhaps we'll hear something from Microsoft by then.

Most Milanese designers show their fashion collections in the sprawling Fiera exhibition complex or in private theaters in their own palazzos. Romeo Gigli, one of the hot new names in Italian fashion, presents his above a grungy mechanic`s garage in a decidedly less-than-posh corner of the city--and draws nothing less than SRO crowds.
In his fourth year of business, this quirky 37-year-old architect-turned- fa shion designer has caught the imagination of European and American retailers with clothes that manage a striking, sometimes eerie combination of Oriental simplicity, English whimsy and Italian tailoring know-how. Evoking everything from modern Tokyo to ethereal medieval princesses to Dickensian street urchins, the designs simply don`t look like they come from anywhere near Italy.

In recent years the Moka pot has been getting a bad reputation for making a strong bitter cup of coffee. With a few tips and tricks it doesn't have to be this way. We start with a clean Moka pot, in the past people believed in a 'seasoned' Moka pot like they do with teapots, but in reality this just adds bitter notes from previous batches. Let's brew!
Measure out 17 grams of coffee and grind to a course salt consistency,
or 10-11 clicks of the Hario mini mill.
For a visual guide on the size of the grind click here
Note: Many tutorials ask for an espresso grind, but, since the Moka pot does not exert the amount of pressure required for an espresso shot we prefer a Medium grind to prevent bitterness.
Pour your ground coffee into the filter.
Level the grounds, do not push or tamp. The grounds must completely fill the hopper.
Pour hot water(200°F) into the base of your Moka pot, stopping at the edge of the pressure valve.
If you over pour, remove excess as it will wet the grounds prematurely.
Add the grounds (hopper) to the base.
The base is hot, grab a towel and screw the top chamber to the base.
Place on your stovetop on medium-low heat.
Optional: You can choose to leave the top closed or open. We choose to leave it open in order to see when it is ready; place a spoon on the spout to prevent splatter.
In a few minutes the coffee will start coming out of the spout.
When you hear a gurgling sound, remove from heat.
Pour your cup of coffee into your mug and run the Moka pot under cold water.
This will prevent oil buildup and make for an easier clean up.
That's it! Enjoy your freshly brewed cup of coffee.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition where a nerve (which gives feeling to the thumb, index, middle and part of the ring finger) gets squeezed in the carpal tunnel of the wrist. There are many causes for this but most commonly, the syndrome is caused by swelling in the tendons, which also pass through the same tunnel as the nerve.
This can lead to the symptoms of night waking with tingling in the fingers. As the condition progresses, numbness becomes more common (both during the day and at night). Eventually the numbness becomes permanent and may lead to complete loss of sensation in the affected fingers. In addition to this if the condition is allowed to progress, loss of fine control of the hand can occur with paralysis of the muscles within the thumb. This can be very debilitating.
Firstly your hand will need to be assessed. Very mild symptoms can occasionally be splinted, or if the symptoms have only been present for a few months, it may be appropriate to try a steroid injection into the carpal tunnel.It is important that the correct diagnosis is made before treatment. This may be possible to be made clinically by Mr Kenton-Smith or the diagnoses may need to be confirmed with a nerve conduction study. Mr Kenton-Smith performs nerve conduction study tests on patients whose symptoms are not clear or, in patients who have signs and symptoms of a second nerve entrapped at the elbow (cubital tunnel syndrome).
Carpal tunnel syndrome may be treated under local anaesthetic using an open technique or it can be performed endoscopically.
Mr Kenton-Smith generally performs a short scar open carpal tunnel release under local anaesthetic in his rooms. This avoids the need for a general anaesthetic and its subsequent recovery. This is a safer option in those people with significant medical conditions. Open carpal tunnel release is the safest way of performing this surgery.
Another disadvantage of open carpal tunnel release is the slightly longer recovery period, especially in heavy manual workers. Pain along the scar, and in the thumb, can last up to three months in heavy manual workers and, in this instance, Mr Kenton-Smith will discuss the pros and cons of endoscopic carpal tunnel release.
The other disadvantage of open carpal tunnel release is that it is uncomfortable to perform surgery on both hands at once and thus the surgery would either need to be staged or Mr Kenton-Smith would discuss bilateral endoscopic carpal tunnel release.
Endoscopic carpal tunnel release is performed in hospital under a short general anaesthetic. Mr Kenton-Smith reserves this method for those patients with heavy manual jobs, who require a faster return to work, and for those patients who require surgery on both hands.
Disadvantages of endoscopic carpal tunnel release include: the increased cost of surgery and the rare chance of nerve injuries. These risks need to be considered during your consultation with Mr Kenton-Smith.
The cost of an open, unilateral (one sided) carpal tunnel decompression under local anaesthetic is $1770 (including surgical and theatre fees). A bilateral (both sides) carpal tunnel decompression under local anaesthetic is $2,855 (including surgical and theatre fees). The total cost under general anaesthetic is approximately $4,500 for one hand and approximately $5,500 for both hands.
You can return to work if you have a desk type job, or are able to perform light duties, within a few days. You will have bandages around your hand which you may take off yourself at 5 days. The stitches are generally removed at 10 to 14 days.
Gentle hand activity and performing routine gentle tasks. It is good for your hands during the post-operative recovery to keep mobile. Gardening, heavy lifting or heavy manual work should be avoided for approximately a month after surgery. Mr Kenton-Smith will discuss this in your individual case.
In the first few days following your carpal tunnel decompression you will notice some initial improvement in your symptoms of numbness and in particular a significant improvement in night waking. The median nerve which is affected in Carpal tunnel may take many months to recover, but as the weeks go by, gradual improvement will be noticed. In severe cases it may take 6 months or longer for maximum recovery to occur.

Question about OKI C5200n Laser Printer
The paper comes out in a multiple fold (accordion) and jams the machine. I have replaced the fuser, and it still occurs.
Posted by lburleson on
I cannot find any scraps of paper anywhere, but I could be missing something. I do know that someone ran cardstock through it withoutchanging the settings. If that caused it, is it fixable?
Something is either blocking the path or you have 2 bad fusers.
Make the the bottom roller of both fusers can turn somewhat freely.
While rotating rollers make sure they are clean.
Clean all rollers with alcohol swab.
The fact that cardstock ran through w/o setting change is not an issue.
what kind of paper?
what printer driver setting are you using for Weight?
Any small paper scraps in paper path?

SOURCE: Printer won't stop jamming
sounds like your printer wants to form it's own three piece band(kidding here).
sounds like you rollers are dirty or have something on one or both of them..like tires on a slippery road, these need to be clean and dry.

SOURCE: HP Laserjet 4M makes accordion folds in the paper before jamming
I have found that with laser printers that have an occasional "crinkle" problem that "fanning" the paper does alleviate the problem ... but it will not if there is an actual feed/hardware problem with the rollers
Posted on Mar 13, 2009
SOURCE: OKI c3200 Laser Printer...
There are 3 little black and white rollers under the cover on the back of the printer. They are pushed under the upper rollers. They should be on the outside of the upper rollers. Somehow they got wedged under the upper rollers. This should fix the accordian paper jam.

Not much is worse then being in a house with a pet that is suffering from a flea problem. If you don't realize that your cat is infested and you don't treat the problem, you will rapidly find that your entire home is full of fleas, and that you are scratching as much as your animal. Try to take action to eliminate fleas before they have taken over your living quarters.
Flea prevention medications are the best way to make sure that your pet and home remain free of fleas. There are many easily applied medications that are readily available which prevent fleas from existing on your cat. Most of the products are very effective if the cat owner reads the instructions carefully and follows them properly.
Many pet owners rely on a flea collar to combat flea infestation. A flea collar worn by your cat neck will avoid fleas on your animal as long as your cat keeps it on. If you utilize a flea collar, make certain that the collar is loose enough that your cat has no problem breathing and eating but not so loose that your cat is in danger of getting the collar caught on anything while it is playing, either inside or out.
Periodically examine your cat's coat and if you find fleas, you may want to give your cat a flea bath. Look for a flea shampoo that is not too strong but is effective, you don't want to use a solution that is so strong that hurts your little kitty. Look for product reviews online for information, forums are great sources of great information about pet care. If you are unable to find a mild flea shampoo that you are certain won't irritate your cat's skin or strip its hair of its natural oils, try a hair shampoo that is made for babies. The kitchen sink is a terrific place to give your cat a flea bath, since you can stand up while you are washing your cat in the water. Kitchen sinks are normally much deeper then bathroom sinks and will keep splashing to a minimum. Have a lot of towels available , both to dry your newly disinfected pet, and to clean the area after you are finished. If your cat tries to bite and scratch when it's put into water, you might need a pair of thick, rubber gloves that will protect you. If you do get bitten by your cat while giving it a flea bath have the bite checked by a doctor immediately, as cat bites can get infected really quickly.
After your cat is clean and free of fleas, make sure to take the time to pet it and brush its freshly cleaned coat. Let your cat know that you he or she is a really good kitty for putting up with this very annoying experience. Soon your little friend will forgive you for causing him so much discomfort. This might be something you want to do on a regular basis. If you start bathing your right when you bring him into your home, the cat adjust to bathing frequently and the experience will become just another routine that is no cause for concern. And fleas will never become a problem.

I've already written about ways to go about pricing your work as an artist.
Here I want to talk about the tendency to think, when selling art, you should under price work you are selling in order to sell it.
There's a belief that people shop mainly on price, that people will buy something if it's cheap enough.
Now, I am not a business advisor or financial professional, let's get this straight.
at pretty much failure point when we took it on.
But here's the thing. Every time we have, our income has gone UP. The number of customers has continued to go UP. Our community and business have GROWN.
|Photo by Mike Daish
– There are extras. Art, crafts, events, doodle books, board games, a preloved clothes shop, a community noticeboard and leaflet point, a toybox, frequent entertainment, a piano, books to read whilst you are here and books to take away by donation. Your soup has a heart on it. Tea in quirky pots, coffee in insulated cafetieres (so your coffee stays warm whilst you peruse the art). When you pay for a meal here, you get far more than a plate of food or a tepid mug of burnt coffee from a machine.
|'African Ancestral Call'

Example. Bik and I bought an original painting, 'Ancestral Voices' by Kwame Bakoji a few years back. It hangs in our
living room, a unique and lovely object in itself.
Here is one with a similar theme and style – and it is for sale, if you click it you can find out more (:
We bought things money can't really buy….. but the painting is soaked with them and fills our living room with…..
– another person's life experience and story.
|Kwame in his studio
So, here comes the point of all this………………..
My experience has been that I've always sold more art for a better price, to people I have met or connected with in some way.
I've sold more art when I've told it's story and mine in a good artist's statement. When I've put a photo of myself painting next to the painting for sale. When I've shared my process, shown work as it's being made, step by step. When I've taken the time and trouble to engage properly with my audience and remembered they are not just buying a physical object from me. That a painting is not just another piece of decor for their house, to go with the sofa (though it may, of course, go with the sofa!!).
Just like The Art House. Our community support us, we support them, it's a symbiosis. A natural thing. Organic, just like the cake.
Take some time now to examine the value of your work.
Let go of your own need, any sense of entitlement or desire to make money. That isn't why people will buy from you. Look at what you will be giving somebody in exchange for paying you for your art.

Winning Equality After DOMA
Last month, in a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was unconstitutional and struck down a major provision that had denied federal benefits to legally married same-sex couples.
Arent Fox's Political Law group is proud to report that it was on the prevailing side in the Supreme Court's DOMA and Proposition 8 decisions. An amicus brief signed by Political Law leader Craig Engle, and recent arguments before the Federal Election Commission (FEC) by Mr. Engle, support the Supreme Court's decision that DOMA's sweeping over-generalization of the definition of marriage causes unlawful discrimination, including the areas of election law, campaign finance, ethics rules, and the conduct of officeholders and federal employees.
There are several examples of the discriminatory application of DOMA in the political arena: The unequal treatment of joint-contributions by same-sex couples, unequal access to political events, differences in defining joint property between candidates and their spouses, and even gift rules, public disclosure rules, and conflict of interest statutes.
Earlier this week, the Political Law group returned to the FEC to ask that it reverse its recent decision in a case involving Arent Fox's client, Dan Winslow, for US Senate, that denied equal joint contribution rights to same sex couple. In a unanimous decision, the agency approved an advisory opinion to adopt new rules implementing the Supreme Court's recent DOMA decision.
The FEC's legal staff had urged the agency to consider political contributions from same-sex married couples on equal terms with opposite-sex married couples. "I applaud the commission for doing the right thing and acting so quickly and clearly," said Mr. Engle to the New York Daily News, adding that the Commission may be one of the first federal agencies "to clearly adopt the Supreme Court's decision in DOMA."
"Same-sex marriage is a fact and government reluctance to admit it is finally collapsing, as the Supreme Court recognized," said litigation partner Hunter T. Carter. "As a marriage equality advocate, I am thrilled that we can point to the FEC and say that same-sex married couples have the rights and duties as other married couples."
Brian Moulton, legal director of the Human Rights Campaign said, "We're pleased to see yet another federal agency taking steps to ensure that the Windsor decision is fully implemented and lawfully-married same-sex couples are treated equally by the federal government across the board."
In addition to election law, there are over 1,000 other statutes across at least 100 agencies and programs that will feel the effect of the Supreme Court's decision.
Arent Fox has been advocating marriage equality since 2009, when Mr. Carter was co-author of the New York State Bar Association report endorsing unanimously marriage equality legislation in New York, which was approved unanimously by the House of Delegates. A team of Arent Fox lawyers, led by Mr. Carter, represents a leading Chilean human rights group and three same-sex couples in a case they have brought before the Inter-American human rights system. They allege that the Chilean government violated their human rights, protected by the American convention on human rights, when Chile's highest courts refused to allow one couple to get married in Chile and refused to recognize the legal marriages of the other two couples performed in Canada and Argentina. The Arent Fox team representing the Chilean couples is preparing cases on behalf of couples from several other countries, in coordination with legal counsel from each countries, as part an Alliance for Marriage in the Americas.
As a result of bringing the case, Mr. Carter was invited to address members of Chile's Senate and its government Human Rights Commission, and was also invited to address the full Colombian Senate, to explain our case that marriage equality is a protected human right.

Big Food
Lent is coming early this year. Really early. Like, next week. Which means that this Saturday evening we'll be hosting our annual Carnevale (literally, "farewell, meat") dinner party. I don't usually go public with the menu before the event, because at least one guest reads this blog, but since I've already lost the menu once and just found it again, I thought I'd commit it to the ethers just in case. SCG, you should stop reading now and if you don't, you have to swear on a stack of chocolate bars that you won't tell anyone else. 'K?
The driving force behind this menu is to incorporate as much butter, fat and alcohol into the meal as possible. Not necessarily a heat-healthy approach, were one to eat like this every day. But since the purpose of Carnevale is to get all the feasting and revelry out of our system before the 6 week fast of Lent, that's how we roll.

Unfortunately, however, almost all of the reaction to Justice Thomas's opinions and votes is partisan. As I detailed in First Principles, commentators are either "for" Justice Thomas or "against" him, in the crassest possible sense. The reaction to Justice Thomas's memoir, My Grandfather's Son, continues this disturbing trend. There are exceptions--David J. Garrow's review for Legal Times stands out among them--but they are few and far between.
Of course, most of the media is liberal. Consequently, the vast majority of the reviews of Justice Thomas's memoir have been negative. Space constraints permit me to discuss only a few.
Washington Post staff writers Michael A. Fletcher and Kevin Merida, co-authors of a recent unauthorized biography about Justice Thomas, didn't even wait until Justice Thomas's memoir was released before trashing it. (They claim to have "purchased" a copy of the book from "an area bookstore" three days prior to its October 1 release.) The opening sentence of their September 29th Post article, written with Robert Barnes, reads: "Justice Thomas settles scores in an angry and vivid forthcoming memoir, scathingly condemning the media, the Democratic senators who opposed his nomination to the Supreme Court, and the 'mob' of liberal elites and activist groups that he says desecrated him."
It's downhill from there. Most troubling is their comment that Justice Thomas "indicates he wrote [the book] himself." Who else do Fletcher, Merida, and Barnes think would have written it? To the best of my knowledge, reviewers don't make observations like that about books written by other Supreme Court justices.
* * *
Meanwhile, Jeffrey Toobin, author of a recent book about the Supreme Court, describes in a review published in The New Yorker how "Thomas's career looks like a model of how affirmative action is supposed to work, but that isn't how Thomas sees it." The review, entitled "Unforgiven: Why is Clarence Thomas so angry?," is accompanied by one of The New Yorker's famous illustrations. This one: a caricature of a "seething" Thomas.
Toobin gives Thomas little credit for earning on the merits his appointments as chairman of the E.E.O.C., judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and justice of the Supreme Court. Instead, Toobin asserts that Thomas was "given" each job "because he was black." For example, Toobin writes the following in discussing Thomas's appointment to the D.C. Circuit: "Just forty-one years old, Thomas had never tried a case, or argued an appeal, in any federal court, much less in the high-powered D.C. Circuit; the last time Thomas had appeared in any courtroom was when he was a junior attorney in Missouri; he had never produced any scholarly work; his tenure at the EEOC, although respectable, did not mark him as a notable innovator in the federal bureaucracy. He was, in short, a black conservative in an Administration with very few of them. That's why he got the job."
What Toobin fails to mention is that, by 1989, Thomas already had established himself as the leading government authority in the United States on the document that articulates the political philosophy of our nation, the Declaration of Independence. Although Toobin might not characterize Thomas's speeches and articles on the relationship between the Declaration and the Constitution as "scholarly work"--assuming Toobin bothered to read them at all--the conservative legal movement certainly did. And while Toobin might try to downplay Thomas's eight-plus years of service at the EEOC --hardly a "modest federal agency," as Toobin calls it--President George H.W. Bush obviously disagreed. So, too, did the United States Senate, which confirmed, by voice vote, the President's nomination of Thomas to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Personally, as someone who has spent a large portion of his own professional life writing about the role of the Declaration of Independence in constitutional interpretation, I consider Clarence Thomas to have been the most qualified person President Bush could have appointed to the nation's highest court. Of course, this doesn't mean that race wasn't a factor in Thomas's appointment to the D.C. Circuit, let alone to the Supreme Court. But what it does mean is that Thomas had achieved far more during his professional career by both 1989, when he was nominated to the D.C. Circuit, and 1991, the year of his Supreme Court appointment, than liberal critics such as Toobin are willing to concede. Indeed, upon a fairer examination, Thomas's credentials compare quite well with those of other jurists who likewise have served on the D.C. Circuit and/or the Supreme Court during the past twenty years.
* * *
he list of negative reviews from the Left goes on--and some on the list make the reviews by Fletcher, Merida, and Barnes; Merida alone; and Toobin look judicious by comparison. For example, Jon Weiner writes in The Nation that Justice Thomas's memoir is a "howl of rage and pain"; Eugene Robinson opines in The Washington Post that "the presence of Justice Clarence Thomas on the U.S. Supreme Court" is a powerful argument against affirmative action; and The New York Times, which has a history of editorializing against Justice Thomas, maintains that the "rage he harbors raises questions about whether he can sit as an impartial judge in many of the cases the Supreme Court hears."
* * *
I have devoted a surprising amount of time since the publication of my book about Justice Thomas's jurisprudence to trying to persuade people that it's possible to be neither "for" Justice Thomas nor "against" him. My objective is simply to read what he writes and do my best to assess it objectively. Sometimes this means I agree with him, and sometimes it means I disagree. Justice Thomas once paid me the highest compliment a scholar can receive when he stated publicly that he understands what I'm attempting to do.
This said, I must say that, to me, much of the reaction from the Left to Justice Thomas's memoir crosses the line of common decency. It's certainly permissible to disagree with Justice Thomas's judicial opinions. As I mentioned above, I sometimes do. However, it's not appropriate to express that disagreement through ad hominem attacks.
My Grandfather's Son is a moving portrait of a man who has overcome more obstacles than all of his critics combined. Of course, I reserve the right to continue to disagree with some of the opinions Justice Thomas issues on the Supreme Court. What I refuse to do, however, is to try to trivialize the remarkable life he has led.
Justice Thomas is not perfect, and he acknowledges as much in his book. His defenders need to stop suggesting he is beyond fault. His critics need to stop pretending they aren't.

Scott Gerber review
Law professor Scott Douglas Gerber -- author of First Principles: The Jurisprudence of Clarence Thomas -- has this review of Justice Thomas's autobiography. Actually, it's more like a review of all the other book reviews out there, which Gerber condemns for being too biased:

Forget Momo, the fat guy that, every year, is crowned Carnival King. The real sovereign of the giant feast that begins in a few weeks is Martinho da Vila. This composer of irresistible smile, now in his seventies, was responsible for some of the most memorable samba-enredos of Unidos de Vila Izabel, escola de samba that he personifies. Thanks to his creation "Kizomba – a Festa da Raça", Vila Izabel won Rio's Carnival in 1988. This samba enredo, as so many other compositions by Martinho, is about slavery, freedom and Zumbi, the rebel slave leader. The composer is a big activist for the right of Afro-Brazilians.
You can see this samba enredo here, interpreted by Dudu Nobre, with subtitles in Portuguese (I wish I could find a good footage of the carnival parade itself, but wasn't that lucky):
Martinho da Vila is one of the very few sambistas with a CD that crossed the barrier of half a million records sold (Tá Delícia, Tá Gostoso, released in 1995).
Check also this beautiful slide show that matches the lyrics of his song Aquarela Brasileira (Brazilian Watercolor) with postcards of the country. It is a quick tour of different Brazilian cities and landscapes:

In 2006, over 4 million Ohioans voted. There were 274,000 less votes last night in the Governor's race, according to unofficial returns.
And a majority of Ohioans didn't vote for John Kasich.
No Governor in recent history has been elected without winning the majority of the popular vote, except for our new Governor-elect. Even in a night when his party won big, Kasich and DeWine both failed to get even a majority of the vote.
Kasich won by less than 100,000 or 2.5% of the electorate. In a campaign in which he gave us virtually no indication what he was planning on doing as Governor. (The polling in the race was too accurate. Kasich was below 50% and it was a two point race.)
[UPDATE:] In case you are wondering, a reader of the site added this information as to the Ohio Governor's who failed to win with a majority vote:
Election Winner Party Percent
- 1978 James Rhodes Rep. 49.31%
- 1974 James Rhodes Rep. 48.62%
- 1916 James Cox Dem. 48.40%
- 1914 Frank Willis Rep. 46.32%
- 1912 James Cox Dem. 42.38%
- 1908 Judson Harmon Dem. 49.20%
- 1899 George Nash Rep. 45.94%
- 1891 William McKinley Rep. 48.61%
- 1889 James Campbell Dem. 48.91%
- 1887 Joseph Foraker Rep. 47.73%
- 1885 Joseph Foraker Rep. 48.95%
- 1883 George Hoadly Dem. 49.87%
- 1877 Richard Bishop Dem. 48.94%
- 1873 William Allen Dem. 47.82%
- 1857 Salmon Chase Rep. 48.67%
- 1855 Salmon Chase Rep. 48.59%
- 1850 Reuben Wood Dem. 49.67%
- 1848 Seabury Ford Whig 49.93%
- 1846 William Bebb Whig 48.28%
- 1844 Mordecai Bartley Whig 48.74%
- 1842 Wilson Shannon Dem. 49.32%
- 1822 Jeremiah Morrow Dem-Rep 41.06%
- 1808 Samuel Huntington Dem-Rep 44.77%
(So, it's only happened once before in my lifetime, and I was as old as ModernEsquire, Jr. is now. Neato.)
Today, our top post this morning so far is this post I wrote about education in September because people frantically googled Kasich and education to find out what he's going to do. Unfortunately, we don't know beyond that he'll scrap all-day kindergarten and Strickland's evidence-based model. Like his plan to scrap the 3-C, it will likely cost Ohio $400 million in Race to the Top federal funding.
John Kasich has no mandate because he failed to offer any plan beyond three things: CSI, JobsOhio, and worker retraining. And even those failed to get him the support of a majority of Ohioans. Kasich's partisan nature is to overread last night's results and exaggerate his victory to mean he was given a mandate.
He was elected Governor, but he cannot claim that a guy who won the closest election in most Ohioans adult lifetime and who failed to win a majority of the vote has a mandate for radical ideological changes he never talked about in detail before the election.
We now change our role as a voice of the loyal opposition. Last night, John Kasich promised policies without regard of politics. With Republican majorities in the state legislature, color us skeptical that such an ideologue firebrand like Kasich will deliver on that promise (Kasich delayed his own victory speech to give an interview to… Fox News. No interview to Ohio media, even afterwards.)
We will hold John Kasich to what he promised:
- Immediate job creation in the first year.
- Phasing in the final income tax cuts in the 2005 tax reforms in his first budget;
- "Responsible" budget cuts to pay for those tax that doesn't punish those of us in Ohio who have born the brunt of this recession, or make our streets less safe;
- The best university and public education system in the nation;
- Policies that make our cities the strongest, safest, and best cities in the nation;
- And that he'll consult with Governor Strickland on major decisions as he promised in the first gubernatorial debate.
- The end of "special interests" feeding at the trough of taxpayers.
- He won't support school district consolidation.
- And so on.
We will call him out when he fails to deliver, when his rhetoric doesn't match his reality.
There will be another election.
After all, haven't you always wondered why our logo is a fist?
Exactly, no mandate at all, no platform, and no margin of victory. He did make a lot of promises though that he can't possibly keep. I love how the Plain Dealer acts like these Republicans were swept in to office. Kasich and DeWine were under 50 percent. The rest were just barely over. We are in for four years of unpopular governship. Dems better get a good candidate ready for 2014.
kee-rap that's a big honkin cross!
So no reflection on losing the Governors Race? No reflection on losing the Senate Race? No reflection on losing the Auditors race? The Secretary of State race? The Treasurers race? The Attorney Generals Race? Both Supreme Court races? The Ohio House? 5 Congressional seats held by Democrats?
It seems like you should clean up your own house before lashing out at Governor-elect Kasich
Bill, we'll reflect on those, but that doesn't change the fact that it should be pointed out that a majority of Ohioans DIDN'T vote for the Governor-elect and he should move forward with the humility of a guy a majority of Ohioans opposed EVEN in a Republican wave election.
Thank you for your concern trolling.
Voice of opposition, not loyal.
The radical Rethugs can go to the ninth circle of h***, Period!
Hit 'em hard with 100% of nothing from the party who delivers nothing to the non-rich non privileged.
They can meet Nixon and Reagan there.

During Columbus senior Tatyana Wyatt's photo shoot for All-Bi-City Girls Basketball Player of the Year, she returned to a familiar spot on the gym floor.
On the court at Columbus High School, Wyatt stood behind the arc on the right corner of the floor, nearly parallel with the goal in front of her. It was the same spot she stood on the court at McCamish Pavilion on March 10, when she took a late 3-pointer to end her high school career with a state championship.
With a basketball lying close by for the shoot, someone asked if Wyatt could hit the shot again. Welcoming the challenge, Wyatt caught the de facto inbound pass, set her feet and let the ball fly.
Just like the time before in Atlanta, Wyatt's shot was nothing but net.
Wyatt's clutch shot in March was the ideal send-off for the 6-foot-2 forward. After making the state title game with the Lady Blue Devils as a freshman, she had a desire to go back and win the game ever since, though the challenge was daunting. Columbus got knocked out of the playoffs in the first round her sophomore season, then lost in the quarterfinals the next season.
Looking back at the game, Wyatt said several moments come to mind. Marlisa Scott's three-point play to open the game after several quick, unsuccessful possessions by Columbus and Carver. Jha'Mesia Griffin's assertive blocks on defense and Brittany Floyd's timely steals. Ariyah Copeland's momentum-swinging baskets.
Those efforts were all crucial in Columbus' overtime victory. Still, they can't hold a candle to how Wyatt ended the game.
When she thinks back to that moment, she remembers exactly how the play was set up. With Carver up 67-66 in the final seconds of overtime, Floyd inbounded the ball, but a Lady Tiger player deflected it, sending it out of bounds. Wyatt quickly went to her bench and asked if they had any timeouts. She was told there were none left.
"I was like, 'Oh, crap,'" Wyatt said. "I got worried."
Anxiety aside, Wyatt prepped for Floyd's next inbound attempt. The plan was for Floyd to get the ball to Wyatt, who would drive toward the basket and attempt a layup. As the play developed, however, Wyatt read the Carver defense and took a gamble with her adjustment.
"I was getting double teamed, so I just decided to pop out," Wyatt said. "I shot it, and when I let it go, I was like, 'That's good.'"
Pandemonium ensued soon after, as the Lady Blue Devils players and coaches celebrated the first girls basketball championship in program history.
The 2016-2017 season was Wyatt's last shot at grabbing a title. Looking back at how the year started, Wyatt admitted the prospects didn't look great.
"When we started the season, it was a little shaky," Wyatt said. "We weren't all the way put together; it was a mesh thing. (It came down to) just going in and developing everyday and working as a team."
Wyatt said the growth the team had as a unit through the season was evident in its playoff run. After beating Burke County in the opening game then topping North Forsyth by 3 in the second round, the Lady Blue Devils really got rolling. They blew out Spalding 71-43 in the quarterfinals then beat Sandy Creek in the semis to face off with hometown rival Carver for the right to call themselves state champions.
The end of her high school career sets up the beginning of her collegiate days. Wyatt will continue playing basketball at Kentucky, stepping into an SEC program that plays in one of the strongest conferences in women's basketball.
"I'm very excited," Wyatt said. "Coming in as a freshman, it's like starting all the way over from high school. Going to Kentucky will be something very new to me, and I just hope I do well, work hard and am able to play."
Wyatt thanked her teammates for the amount of hard work they consistently put in to help the Lady Blue Devils make history. The chance for her and the other four Columbus seniors to go out as champions was a rare one, and Wyatt knows it was one not many can say they've accomplished.
"That's very special," Wyatt said. "You can say a dream's come true."

Do not give up on trying to be well
When things are really so bad, people find themselves giving up so easily. Whatever you find yourself going through in life these days, don't give up. That is the last thing you want to do right now. This appeal may seem generalized here because there is such a variety of problems out there and it can be difficult to pin-point any specific problem that may be unique to you.
Do this rather, rather than giving up, do this. Go back to the drawing board. Start from the beginning to try and figure out why things are just not going your way. Perhaps you have been trying too hard, or perhaps you have been placing unnecessary pressure on your shoulders instead of taking it just one step at a time or taking on tasks that you can manage. Or perhaps you just haven't been in good shape to tackle those tasks you feel compelled to complete.
Perhaps that is it then. You are not healthy. But that, and a great number of other things besides, can be overcome. Of course it will not be easy, and that seems to be the biggest thing for many men and women these days. Just taking the first steps seems to scare them into giving up and going no further. Let that be said then that there is no other way. Particularly if you have been in life's doldrums for far too long, the first steps of venturing into something new always seems to be the hardest.
But once those first couple of hurdles are navigated and negotiated, it gets a bit easier. But that's the reality of today's life. It is big and hard and it does not get any easier.

ownerGiuseppe Benanti
websitewww. vinicolabenanti.it
founded in1988
Benanti wines at I.G.T. (Typical Geographic Indication) Sicily, originate from their experience in the cellar, attentive knowledge of the Sicilian territory, rich in climates and soils, and from a willingness and capability to experiment with other non-indigenous vines.
In these wines different vines and different places are expertly combined.
At the end of the 1800's, Giuseppe Benanti, grandfather of Dr. Giuseppe Benanti, began the production of wines on one of his father's old farms on the slopes of Mount Etna, at Viagrande (Catania). In 1988, Giuseppe Benanti revived the family's old passion, with an extensive and selective study of the Etnean soils highly devoted to viticulture. He also investigated particular clones of indigenous vines and new oenological techniques to reproduce ancient fragrances using the most modern practices of vinification, in a perfect union of history and reality. From this five year study, wines of unique taste were produced recreating old flavors and keeping them intact over time.Technical Information
