Fusion centers have come under fire for how they spend Department of Homeland Security grant money.
When authorities in 2009 closed in on a North Carolina-based terrorist group bent on waging jihad, news of the arrests made national headlines. The group, led by an American citizen who lived an unassuming life as a drywall contractor, underscored the reality that Islamic extremism is "not confined to the remote regions of some far away land but can grow and fester right here at home," as one prosecutor put it.
But buried in the torrent of news articles covering the case was only passing mention of a state agency officials call instrumental to the investigation, an agency that has collected intelligence on North Carolinians for years though few outside of law enforcement have ever heard about it.
N.C. ISAAC, short for the Information Sharing and Analysis Center, is one of more than 70 so-called fusion centers set up around the country as part of a controversial federal initiative led by the Department of Homeland Security to avert the communication breakdowns that lead to the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
The centers, at least one of which is located in nearly every state, have raised fears of government surveillance, drawing fierce criticism from civil liberties advocates concerned about exploiting security concerns to bring the country closer to an Orwellian state.
Fusion centers form a sprawling security colossus made up of what one former law enforcement official called mini-spy agencies, places where analysts pore over intel about gangs, thieves, terrorists and any other criminal variety, fusing pieces into pictures that authorities can act on.
The only other center in the state besides ISAAC is the much smaller Eastern Regional Information Center, or ERIC, housed in the New Bern Police Department. The facility is slated to close later this year because the federal grants that have been its sole source of funding dried up.
ERIC partnered with numerous agencies across Eastern North Carolina, including the Wilmington Police Department, and sheriff's offices in New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender counties.
Officials in Charlotte toyed with the idea of setting up a fusion center to cover the state's western region, but the notion never gained steam, according to Judith Emken, senior assistant city attorney for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
Though it never existed, the N.C. Department of Public Safety lists the Charlotte Regional Information and Analysis Center, or CRIAC, on its website, and ERIC listed ties to CRIAC in a federal grant proposal.
Officials at the Wilmington Police Department said they deal with fusion centers in regard to crime trends and officer safety issues, such as when someone has threatened law enforcement. One recalled ERIC connecting a bank robbery spree that stretched from Wilmington to New Bern, a link that enabled police to catch the crook. But many say bigger departments that employ in-house analysts like Wilmington are less likely to farm out the work to fusion centers, limiting the centers' involvement with local criminal investigations.
ISAAC, the biggest fusion center in North Carolina, is a nondescript set of rooms on the ground floor of the Terry Sanford Federal Building and Courthouse in Raleigh. A handful of analysts work behind computers in cubicles, under the glow of fluorescent lights. Across the hall is an investigations unit with officers from a smattering of state and local departments, including Alcohol Law Enforcement and the State Highway Patrol.
Tips stream in throughout the day from public and private sources. The information is compiled, analyzed and, if needed, disseminated to law enforcement via bulletins and emails, officials said.
Information developed through ISAAC's community outreach program, an effort to increase public awareness of the center's mission, put investigators on a path toward a group of homegrown extremists plotting in a rural area south of Raleigh.
Daniel Patrick Boyd, an American who had trained in militant camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan between 1989 and 1992, led the group. Also known as Saifullah, Boyd's aim was to recruit others willing to die as martyrs.
The group, which included two of Boyd's sons, provided money, transportation and men to help terrorists overseas, attempted to engage in jihad and amassed an arsenal of rifles and pistols before state and federal investigators dismantled the operation.
Seven members of the group were arrested and sentenced to prison. Boyd is serving 18 years.
During a recent interview with ISAAC officials, they pointed to Boyd as an agency success story.
"Throughout the United States, there's literally been hundreds of attempts to mount terrorist type attacks that have been disrupted and dealt with ahead of time and fusion centers have been a player in many of those cases," said B.W. Collier, ISAAC's special agent in charge.
Federal lawmakers criticized fusion centers last year because they wereunconvinced that the federal government's investment of as much as $1.4 billion in the initiative had yielded tangible benefits. Critics contend fusion centers exaggerate purported successes, and that much of the intelligence they purport to synthesize can easily, and perhaps more efficiently, be done without them.
A blistering 141-page reported released in October by a Senate subcommittee concluded the centers did little to bolster national counterterrorism efforts and sometimes endangered civil liberties and privacy protections.
"The Subcommittee investigation found that the fusion centers often produced irrelevant, useless or inappropriate intelligence reporting to DHS (Department of Homeland Security), and many produced no intelligence reporting whatsoever," the report reads.
The report, based on a two-year investigation, also documented instances of fusion centers spending federal dollars on items seemingly unrelated to information sharing – "shirt-button" cameras, flat-screen televisions, sport-utility vehicles and cellphone tracking equipment.
Concerns about trampling on constitutionally protected freedoms stayed despite fusion centers' adoption of privacy policies. One reason for this is that fusion centers encourage the reporting of "suspicious activity," which critics point out can be something as innocuous as someone taking photographs and has actually resulted in photographers being arrested and harassed.
Fusion centers examine suspicious activity reports, known in security parlance as SARs, for credibility and relevance, then forward them to a national repository, where they can be cross linked.
Michael German, senior policy counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union and a former FBI agent, said in a telephone interview that the fusion center and SAR initiatives led to an expansion in the amount of information being collected about Americans, who has access to it and who it is being shared with.
"Our founders were very wise in the system they established, which requires the government to have an actual basis to believe you're doing something wrong before we start collecting information about you," he said. "We have lowered that standard. That doesn't help. It hinders law enforcement and makes them go on wild goose chases."
Such antipathy aside, fusion centers enjoy vocal supporters, with some waging an offensive to beat back calls for the centers' reduction or elimination. Ronald Brooks, director of a fusion center in Northern California, declared before a Senate committee in 2011 that fusion centers "add tremendous value to the homeland security enterprise."
The law enforcement community strenuously objected to the derisive subcommittee report, saying it "displays a fundamental disconnect and severe misunderstanding of the federal government's role in supporting state and locally owned and operated fusion centers," according to a statement released by the National Fusion Center Association.
Sen. Mary Landrieu, a Democrat from Louisiana and chair of the homeland security appropriations subcommittee, said she "cannot disagree more" with the subcommittee's conclusion, and argued that fusion centers played a pivotal role in numerous criminal investigations, including stopping a terrorist from blowing up a New York subway.

Human eye is what gives each person the conception of his own world. We accept after we look. We need to look in order to accept. Images are what helped the world to remember people, cities, nature. They give us happiness, love, desire, hurt, pain, willingness, hunger, thirst, nostalgia… They give the opportunity to others see your own point of view, your colors, your world.
Eyes are showing the inner self – they are wet if we are hurt, red if we are tired, smiley if we are happy, wide-opened if in love, ugly if angry. They make us see when we feel and feel when we see. If it wasn't the photos which gave us the picture of what it was and it is and what it will be than everything in the world would be so different or so the same but we would never understand.
My equipment:
I'm taking my photos with Canon 450D camera with several types of lenses. I have the Canon 85mm, the wide 17-40mm, 100-300mm and of course 18-55mm ones which I firstly began with when I bought my camera.

20 Birthmarks That Were Covered Up With Awesome Tattoos.
Birthmarks come in all shapes and sizes and can be anywhere on the body. Unfortunately, they're not something we have any control over. Either you're born with one or you're not and what you get is what you get. With that said, it's very common for a person to be self conscious about their birthmark.
Nonetheless, people have gotten creative and covering up their birthmarks with clever designs. Some birthmarks are completely covered while others are simply incorporated into the tattoo. Take a look at some of the unique designs below.
#1. Some birthmarks are just the perfect shape and size to use as the base for something.
For example, this birthmark was the perfect base for Mr. Potato Head!
#2. A life story spread out on top of a birthmark.
The birthmark actually makes the perfect background for this type of image.
#3. He turned his birthmark into a map of an imaginary world.
Although it's not an actual tattoo since he drew it with a pen, the concept is still really cool!
#4. When your birthmark looks like a cookie, you gotta do what you gotta do.
And in this case it means you gotta get a cookie monster tattoo.
#5. A beautiful flower tattoo covering an extensive port wine stain birthmark.
The red tones from the birthmark blend in perfectly well with the flowers.

From Nov 20th - Dec 20th, with your help, The Bro'Kin Yolk is teaming up with sockbox.ca to give back to Calgary's homeless through the Calgary Drop-In & Rehab Centre by donating new socks to those in need!
Did you know?
Homeless people in Calgary walk on average 26 km/day? Most of the time with only 1-2 pairs of socks for weeks or even months. A recent survey was done by U of C Cumming School of Medicine to assess some of the mental and physical health concerns of our homeless people in Calgary and the results were::
- 37 % reported skin/foot problems
- 37% also reported mobility problems
Clean, dry, warm socks promote health, keep people out of our emergency rooms and can change people's lives!
Here are THREE ways on how YOU can help!
- Get your brunch on at The Bro'Kin Yolk and purchase the Open-faced Avocado Sandwich. For every time you order this dish, The Bro'Kin Yolk will donate 1 pair of socks.
- Head to sockbox.ca and purchase any subscription. For every purchase of a subscription, 1 pair of socks will be donated. Did we mention these make great holiday gifts?
- Drop off a pair of NEW socks at The Bro'Kin Yolk and they will all be collected at the end to be dropped off at the Calgary Drop-In & Rehab Centre.
The Bro'Kin Yolk gratefully acknowledges its partners:

My brain is squishy, but not to the point where I can sleep yet.

For many of us we are use to viewing the sun as male ans the moon as female.

Every month we have a new moon or a dark moon. This is the time when the moon is between the Earth and the Sun and you generally can't see it. You can think of it roughly as the "opposite" of a Full Moon. Many cultures and religions such as Jewish and Hindu, believe the new moon to be the beginning of the lunar month and a time to start new projects. In some Pagan and earth-based religions, people see the waning moon (getting smaller) as a time for inner workings, and the new moon as a time…Continue

Another thunderstorm is rolling in, the fifth one over the last two weeks. As far back as I can remember I've loved a good storm, and the more lightning and thunder the better as far as I'm concerned. Yet, since the heat wave ended and the month of July is, suprisingly, wrapping up to be the "wettest on record", I find these storms have more punch. More energy.

The Path To Finding Better Resources
Learn Why Financial Planning Is Important
Over the past several years, we often heard of the terms like financial planning, investment management, personal finance, retirement planning and the likes. Starting from blogs, newspapers, TV channels, magazines and just about every people, they are all talking about the true importance of financial planning. With this being said, what is actually financial planning and why it is extremely important?
Meeting your goals in life via proper management of your money is the simplest definition for financial planning. The process of planning your finances must help you answer questions similar to your current personal balance sheet, where you are today, where you want to be tomorrow, finances linked to your goals and to what you have to do in order to reach it.
Gathering relevant financial info, setting goals in life such as buying a house, buying a car, children's education, examining your current financial status and even coming up with a plan or strategy to how you can meet these goals given your present situation as well as future plans are what involved in the process. There are several factors that must be considered as well when you are developing a financial plan such as hiring a financial planner, current financial status of the client, financial goals, insurance requirement, investment instruments, outstanding loans, inflation, retirement corpus, tax liability, risk profile and so on.
Financial planning is providing a method to properly organize your financial future so by that, you will be able to plan for unexpected events in life. It will empower you to become independent and to deal with unforeseen events in life by organizing your finances with the help of a professional financial advisor. Well thought financial planning is extremely important for anyone who wants to accumulate wealth and manage financial difficulties.
Earlier, we have mentioned that having a proper financial plan is very important but why is that so?
Number 1. It helps to boost your cash flow and at the same time, monitor your spending patterns. As you undertake measures similar to prudent spending, careful budgeting and tax planning, it can help in increasing your cash flow.
Number 2. It is a must to have proper financial plan or estimate that considers the expenditure and income of a person as this helps in choosing the best investment policy. It allows the person to reach the goals they have set.
Number 3. Financial planning helps in gaining better understanding of current financial position. Adjustments in investment plan or evaluating retirement scheme is also easier for someone who understands their finances.
Whether you believe it or not, there are many other reasons why having a good financial advice is crucial but if this doesn't change your point of view, nothing would.

Being involved in any kind of physical activity can be challenging in itself. A common symptom of ASD is a difficulty with coordination. Social interaction is another. Combine the two, and you have a hella' time trying to engage in a physical activity such as a sport.
I took special interest in Martial Arts at a young age. What was a fascination for me also resulted in a "cure" for coordination issues. I learned balance, simultaneity, dexterity, control, speed, fluidity, technique, concept—all of these things are what helped me.
Having typed all of that, there are still numerous challenges for someone On The Spectrum who wants to pursue Martial Arts training. It particularly revolves around instructor/coach-student communication. Someone like me has a noticeable processing delay when dealing with VERBAL instruction (or general spoken communication, period). I have to SEE something in order to understand it. Someone like me takes things literally—especially verbal instruction.
Example: in 2010 during Catch-as-Catch-Can Wrestling training in Salt Lake City, UT, my Head Coach, Billy Robinson (RIP) instructed me to "turn in" while I was being taught a new technique. I did just that—I turned IN towards my training partner. I was immediately scolded for it. He meant for me to turn my back to my partner (an escape technique). I spoke out and said: "he told me to turn IN, so I turned IN." When I could actually SEE the techniques demonstrated I could immediately detect the pattern behind the technique and grasp it much quicker.
Example: in 2015 during Gracie Combatives class in Louisville, KY, I had several fellow students ask me how I was able to learn the demonstrated techniques so quickly. My response: "oh, I've done it before." This was an outright lie, however, as I didn't have time to explain that I'm a visual/pattern-based learner.
Unfortunately, one must also deal with excessive personality clashes and machismo. I made it a rule to ONLY compete with MYSELF and NEVER compete against others. I found I would improve much quicker this way and not worry about ego—much less others' egos—slowing me down or causing even more anxiety. Sometimes, fellow training partners don't quite understand who they're training with and get frustrated or agitated and either tease or take their frustrations out on (you).
Example: in 2015 during Brazilian JiuJitsu class in Louisville, KY, I was "rolling" with a training partner and used some Catch Wrestling techniques to counter what he was doing to me—which helped me keep from being tapped-out and put me in a more dominant position each time. I was also able to break-out of his "Guard" fairly easily each time. I didn't realize he was getting pissed about it (he was a more advanced belt than me at the time). He later became quite excessive in another training session. It took me a long time to analyze that experience to understand WHY he was acting that way. The next time we were training, I purposely allowed him to get the advantage, twice, and that seemed to calm him down. Score that victory for not having an ego.
For someone On The Spectrum, it can be downright difficult to learn the rules of one Martial Art and learn a completely different set of rules of another Martial Art (or Combat Sport). Someone like me learns patterns, specifically, so any like movement or pattern may trigger a different response that contradicts what should be done at the moment (e.g. you repeat the exact movement that you learned from another style when you're not supposed to).
Example: in 2009 during Catch-as-Catch-Can Wrestling training in Salt Lake City, UT, I had a hella' time learning The Pivot—a specific footwork used to generate more torque when applying takedowns against an opponent. Unfortunately, The Pivot partially-yet-contradictory conflicted with the Aikido Tenkan (circular) footwork I learned in 1990, and each time I attempted the CACC Pivot, I slipped into Aikido's Tenkan movement instead—resulting in scolding from my Head Coach.
Example: in 2015 during Brazilian JiuJitsu class in Louisville, KY, I had extreme difficulty restraining myself from using the Catch Wrestling leg submissions and foot manipulations (e.g. Toe Holds) that were not allowed in BJJ. I was scolded by my Head Instructor for using a very basic Toe Hold to torque my training partner out of Side Cross Mount/Side Control while I was on the bottom position.
One thing someone like me learns is how to adapt and employ "cheating" concepts to help compensate for the many challenges that ASD contributes toward interactions—even physical. Those of us On The Spectrum like to talk about social awkwardness and challenges and how we adapted (e.g. "faking it") to overcome them in adulthood. It isn't commonplace to read about those of us On The Spectrum who have done the same thing regarding physical activities, however.. hence the purpose of this posting.

The Lambertian limit for solar cells is a benchmark for evaluating their efficiency. It has been shown that the performance of either extremely thick or extremely thin solar cells can be driven close to this limit by using an appropriate photon management. Here we show that this is likewise possible for realistic, practically relevant thin-film solar cells based on amorphous silicon. Most importantly, we achieve this goal by relying on random textures already incorporated into state-of-the-art superstrates; with the only subtlety that their topology has to be downscaled to typical feature sizes of about 100 nm.

Even so, to finish his drawings, a qualified steel detailer typically indicates connections issue towards the approval in the structural engineer in scenarios where by the structural drawings have insufficient information. In these scenarios, the steel detailer is guided by his knowledge and understanding of current engineering codes such as the Steel Construction Manual released by AISC.
Steel detailing corporations and self-utilized detailers subcontract principally to steel fabricators and in some cases to normal contractors and engineers.
We're a privately owned company Introduced in 2012. We ended up currently being one of many to get started with to make use of and begin employing 3D and Putting together Information Modeling in enterprise developing inside our location and progressed into a comprehensive-assist Steel Detailing Enterprise with know-how throughout all proper large-problem disciplines.
These diagrams are called 'shop drawings'. For steel associates, These are also known as 'structural steel fabrication drawings'.
In structural steel detailing the fabrication drawings Steel Detailing correspond to your tailor's cutting diagram. The tailor's blunder will not be each costly. The material is only fabric. The fabricator's blunder is rather costly. Steel expenses thousands a lot more per tonne than fabric!

Naloxone works.
"The time has come for a nonprofit pharmaceutical company focused on decreasing naloxone's costs and increasing its availability as an over-the-counter product.
A nonprofit pharmaceutical company will not be a panacea for America's opioid crisis, nor for the ongoing struggle with the high prices of many drugs. Indeed, for-profit pharmaceutical companies are central to America's leading role in medical innovation. Profits help to ensure that innovation is rewarded and drug development continues to be an attractive investment despite the complexity and challenge of finding and developing new drugs.
To succeed in getting naloxone into the hands of everyone who might benefit from it, money from nonprofit foundations with an interest in public health and reducing the scourge of opioids must be combined with drug development expertise and a nonprofit mission to bring naloxone to every drug store in America. It is an idea whose time has come. As lives are lost every day from opioid overdoses, low cost, over-the counter naloxone is now an urgent priority for a nonprofit pharmaceutical company."

Author: Bernice L. McFadden
First Published: January 2001
Publisher: Plume Books
Source: Received for free from the publisher for review
229 pages
On a hot sunny day, while every resident of Bigelow, Arkansas, awaited a storm, Sugar Lacey waltzes straight through the town to take up residence in Number 10, Grove Street, as Pearl Taylor's neighbor. As curious women strive to get a glance at Sugar, Pearl's curiosity is aroused. When Pearl finally sees Sugar, she is shocked by her similarity in profile to Jude, her daughter who was brutally murdered more than fifteen years ago. Pearl strives to connect with this woman, while Sugar yearns to stay away from people. What follows is an unlikely friendship over a sweet potato pie - a friendship that transforms both women and affects many other lives.
I had read the first page of this book, soon as it arrived at my doorstep. Right then I was hooked, and had to resist from reading further. Bernice McFadden's writing is so beautiful, that I just lost myself in it. The very first page was stunning both in its prose and in it's sharp narration.
My opinion
In the Spring of 1940, a little girl, Jude, is found dead in Bigelow, Arkansas, in the most brutal manner possible. Her death sends the whole community into shock and devastates her parents, Pearl and Joe Taylor.
Fifteen years later, Pearl is still trying to come to terms with Jude's death. In the Spring of that year, when Sugar Lacey arrives in Bigelow, Pearl is struck by Sugar's resemblance to Jude in her profile. Pearl's initial attempts to befriend Sugar do not win her Sugar's confidence. But when it finally does, what she learns about Sugar shames and angers her.
The murder had white man written all over it. (That was only a half truth.) But no one would say it above a whisper. It was 1940. It was Bigelow, Arkansas. It was a black child. Need any more be said?
Sugar Lacey was abandoned by her mother at birth. Instead, she was brought up by the Lacey sisters, who run a brothel house. When Sugar gets older, prostitution becomes her sole profession, and it takes her through St. Louis and Detroit, where her dire experiences teach her many a lesson.
I enjoyed Sugar for its story, character focus and the writing. As I followed the friendship between Sugar and Pearl, I was quite warmed by the positive influences each had on the other. On one side, Pearl was trying to revive her old life that she had lost after her daughter's death. Her sex life had disappeared and she still despaired after Jude. Sugar, on the other hand, was trying to come to terms with her choice of profession and with her family history, or rather, lack of it. Each tried to help the other through various decisions. And when Pearl began to show the first streaks of wildness in her nature, I quite whooped with joy!
The locals' excessive interest in Sugar laced with their contempt for a woman of "her type" made for a humorous reflection. None of the women wanted Sugar there, but they all made initial attempts to visit her at home to have a peek at her. Occasionally, the novel takes on a light thread and provides a few humorous passages. Other times, it takes on a dark note and chills me in its meaning.
Sugar does great justice to the characters. In spite of being just 229 pages, the character development is impressive. Sugar's sharpness and Pearl's quiet strength are vividly felt, while Joe Taylor's love for and support of his wife are echoed through the pages. In addition, I could strongly share in the happiness and sadness, exultation and despair felt by the characters at various points. While it didn't exactly arouse strong emotions in me, the prose definitely had me empathize with the characters.
Somehow, the ending didn't work that well for me. It wasn't a bad ending, but I didn't find it outstanding either. I was pleased to see all loose ends tied up, but the threads of coincidence that ran through them disappointed me. Nevertheless, this is a great book to read, and Bernice McFadden's beautiful writing had me totally immersed in the book. It's the kind of writing that flows very smoothly without any jerks. I am now looking forward to reading her new book, Glorious!
Title Demystified
Sugar Lacey, the titular protagonist is quite a marvelous character. I couldn't help but embrace her character affectionately, both for her sharpness of wit and for her no-nonsense nature. She didn't care if the whole world looked down on her and spoke about her behind her back, she was her own mistress. As she went through some heart-wrenching incidents, I felt quite sad for her.
Cover Art Demystified
The theme, the setting and the protagonist's beauty and style of dressing are so well captured in this picture. This is one of the best book covers I've seen, and it has to do with the well-captured silhouette against the brilliant yellow fields as the backdrop!

February 8, 2013
Following the president's lead, Democrats in the House of Representatives are preparing to unveil a comprehensive package of bills that will seek to curb gun violence and prevent mass shootings.
The package will include, not surprisingly, a ban on 'assault' weapons, a ban on high-capacity magazines and a bill that would mandate universal background checks (UBCs).
In short, it's a facsimile of the President's plan, which was also the impetus behind the bevy of gun control bills that are now circulating the Senate.

Grand Ayatollah Yasubedin Rastegar Jooybari (Persian: يعسوب الدين رستگار جويباري) (born 1940) is an Iranian Twelver Shi'a Marja.
He has studied in seminaries of Qom, Iran under Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Kazem Shariatmadari and Mohammad-Reza Golpaygani.
He was the Head of Tafsir al Quran department in Hawza of Qum.He authored the biggest shia tafsir of quran Al Basaer consisting of more than 100 volumes.He has repeatedly been arrested for his opposition against the current Iranian government, in particular Supreme Leader Khamenei.
Grand Ayatollah Yasub al-Din Rastgari, accused of criticizing government policies, has been arrested and detained several times. During his arrest in late February 1996, he was held in incommunicado detention, reportedly mainly in Tawhid and Evin Prisons in Tehran until July 1996.
In August 1996, he was sentenced to three years imprisonment for having held a mourning ceremony for the late Grand Ayatollah Shariatmadari. He was sentenced by the Special Clerical Court after a summary trial on vaguely worded charges, in which he had no access to a lawyer.
Grand Ayatollah Rastgari was released from prison in December 1996, but immediately afterwards was placed under house arrest in Qom. Rastgari was again arrested on April 27, 2004 and sentenced by the Special Clerical Court to four years in prison for "insulting Islam" and "causing schism" through his book, The Reality of Religious Unity. He has reportedly been tortured while in detention and is held incommunicado without access to his family.His two sons were arrested with him at the time. After publishing Rastgari's book "The Reality of Religious Unity," the book's publisher was shut down.

Your plants on arrival
Our pea plants are supplied as 9 cell multi sown modules in a re-useable, micro propagator.
On arrival remove from cardboard outer case and check the plants to ensure they have travelled well in the post. Sometimes a planting cell can become dislodged on a bumpy ride. Usually these can easily be replaced back into the tray without causing any detrimental effects to the plants within.
Your pack of 9 cells are encased within a plastic outer micro-propagator. This means there are 3 components to the packaging.
1) The outer black base that holds water
2) The upper clear lid that traps heat and moisture essential for germination
3) The inner pack of 9 cells that holds your compost and the plants
Remove the 9 cells from black base unit of the micro propagator (which you can now keep and use again and again).
Each cell has approx. 4 peas sown in it (we call this multi-sown cells).
To remove your plants from the 9 cells, we recommend gently squeezing the base of each cell until the soil and roots have been gently loosened. Then pull the plants by grasping very gently all of the stems near the base of the plant until the cell comes loose from the plastic container.
When removing the plants please do not separate the peas that have been grown together in each cell, this will damage the root structure of the plants.
Planting Out
Plant out peas in moist, fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Allow a distance of 30cm (12in) between modules 50cm (20in) between rows. Prepare the soil in the planting area incorporating a granular fertiliser. Lightly firm and level the area then dig a hole deep enough to take the rootball of the plant module. Fill the hole with water and allow to drain. Place module in the hole and backfill soil lightly firming so the rootball is just below the soil surface. Water regularly.
Support pea plants with twiggy sticks, wire or netting as they grow, and use fine netting to protect pea crops from birds and pea moth damage.
When growing peas, regular and thorough watering especially when in flower will improve crop yields. – Check variety height to ensure your supports are tall enough.
When can I eat them?
You should be able to harvest peas when the pods have swollen and you can feel peas within. Regular picking will encourage further cropping.
Mangetout Peas are best eaten when the pod is young and bite sized, leaving the pods to mature shell and eat as garden peas.
Remember to sow / plant little and often for continuous supply. If you have a large crop peas are excellent frozen.

The capital, largest city and most populous, the main economic hub, political and cultural center of Taiwan is Taipei, a city where tradition and modernity blend harmoniously, to the delight by hundreds or thousands of tourists who visit each year and for its 2.6 million inhabitants. The center, located at the northern end of the island of Taiwan, is one of the capitals most advanced in all of Asia and central Europe, and boasts a spa rivaling those well established in Japan and other major Chinese cities. The contrasts may appear initially jarring, but getting to know the city better you will end up, in the end be stunned, tie the ancient temples to skyscrapers, spacious streets to the sidewalks crowded with people dressed up with dresses most famous international brands.
Even before the eighteenth century, the region was inhabited by the tribes Ketagalan, while the Chinese began to settle on the island only since 1709. In the last years of the nineteenth century the area of Taipei began to increase its importance in the economy, with the led that hauled the town to make an important point of reference for many ships to the West. In 1895, after being defeated in the Sino-Japanese War, China was forced to cede to Japan the entire island of Taiwan. Over the years of Japanese occupation were built numerous buildings that still animate the main streets of Taipei, even as early as 1945, as a result of negative developments of World War II, Japan had to withdraw from the country, he returned briefly in the aegis of China.
Although overlooked by many tourists visiting Taiwan, Taipei is a city that can amaze, astound, first to the cosmopolitan atmosphere that permeates the main streets, and then as a treasure chest of secrets to uncover a deeper knowledge of the main attractions. The first thing you notice when you arrive in Taipei is the mixture of tradition and modernity, in the form of architecture, but also to everyday customs of the inhabitants. The elements of both component blend harmoniously, respecting each other. So you can see ancient temples flanked by modern buildings of glass and steel, you can meet people in suits and other exotic least adorned with expensive full of the most famous international brands, you can live very different situations depending on the neighborhood in which you are located. This, but not only, is Taipei.
The city is divided into 12 administrative districts, some of which you can not really ignore. Wanhua, extended on the banks of the river Dan Shui is the oldest part of Taipei, one in which you focus the majority of Buddhist and Taoist temples, but also the most leisure tourists, with restaurants and bars that line the main streets. In the district of Wanhua are the Lungshan Temple, the oldest place of worship in the city, the Temple of Kuantu, dedicated to marine Divita Matsu, and the Confucian Temple, one of the more sober lines, in which, every 28 September, we celebrate the anniversary of the birth of the great philosopher. Overcoming the enchanting temple of Longshan you come to Huaxi, the "way of snakes", where once the restaurants served delicious meat of reptiles. To the east of Wanhua is Da An, the shopping district and lively nightlife, and therefore one of the most expensive in the city, although to stay in the historical and artistic should go to Da Tong, a district characterized by long avenues curvilinear on lined with old colonial homes. The best shops in the area are located along the course of Hua Di, where there are the colorful traders miraculous potions, one of the gems of Taipei. A few hundred meters to the east, in the district of Zhongshan, are concentrated the most beautiful parks in the city, ideal for spending a relaxing afternoon in the shade of a cypress tree or an oak. Area museums, Shi Lin, is north of the center, where there is also Beitou, the district is famous for its hot springs. The weight and importance in the political sphere are tangible in Taipei Zhongzheng, the government district, where stand the palace of the President of the Republic, the Parliament and the Supreme Court of the state.
Attraction that deserves a separate chapter is the Taipei 101, the tallest building in the world until 2007. This huge palace, built in just six years, it is 508 meters high, but this does not pose a risk related to the high degree of seismic activity in the area, because the structure has been designed with the most modern building techniques and has already endured two major earthquakes in 1999 and 2002. The project, designed by architect CY Lee Taiwan, is clearly inspired by Chinese architecture and is presented entirely based on the number 8, as is clear overall height (508 m), the highest coverage (448 m) and from that of the final slab walkable (438 m).
To round off your stay in Taipei you can indulge in a night at the theater to see one of the famous puppet shows, one of the more appreciated by tourists and residents, a show that will involve the whole family with special effects totally unexpected.
The autumn is the best season to visit Taipei, as the rains are very rare, the thermometer is almost permanently stable at around 20 degrees and the humidity is oppressive as in other times of the year. To avoid the period between February and April, when the sunny days are very few, but the summer months, very hot, muggy and rainy. The typhoon season is between May and October, although the worst months in this sense, are August and September.
The main airport of Taipei and in general of Taiwan is the Chiang Kai Shek, an international airport from which pass through several millions of travelers each year. Getting around town is cheap and convenient thanks to the service provided by public transport, with the Taipei Metro every day carries tens of thousands of people along its 8 lines.

Order. I wish to make the following statement before moving on to the next speaker.
I am now prepared to rule on the point of order raised on April 28, 2009 by the Hon. Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons concerning the need for a royal recommendation to accompany Bill C-279, An Act to amend the Employment Insurance Act (amounts not included in earnings) standing in the name of the hon. member for Welland.
I would like to thank the parliamentary secretary for having raised this matter, as well as the member for Mississauga South for his comments.
In his remarks, the parliamentary secretary pointed out that Bill C-279 seeks to exclude pension benefits, vacation pay and severance payments from earnings under the Employment Insurance Act. He stated that the effect of such an exclusion would be to make individuals eligible for benefits who would otherwise not be eligible or to increase the benefits to individuals currently eligible.
He noted that there is ample precedent indicating that legislation proposing new spending not currently authorized under the Employment Insurance Act requires a royal recommendation. In support of his claim, he cited earlier rulings from the first session of the 39th Parliament on this topic.
I have examined Bill C-279 and found that the proposed exclusion of amounts from the earnings under the EI Act would have the effect of altering the terms and conditions of this program in a manner which would infringe on the financial prerogative of the Crown. Simply put, the proposal put forward by Bill C-279 is such that more individuals would be eligible to receive EI benefits and those currently eligible would receive increased benefits.
With regards to a similar bill, I stated in a decision on March 23, 2007, at page 7845 of Debates:
—those provisions of the bill which relate to increasing employment insurance benefits and easing the qualifications required to obtain them would require a royal recommendation.
In my view, the same conditions apply to the bill now before us.
For these reasons, I must conclude that Bill C-279 requires a royal recommendation. Consequently, I will decline to put the question on third reading of the bill in its present form unless such a recommendation is received.
Today's debate, however, is on the motion for second reading and this motion shall be put to a vote at the close of the second reading debate.
Resuming debate, the hon. member for Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor.

The sad tale of Joe Yearby; Richt helps AQM; UM draft postscripts
A lot of people are second-guessing former UM quarterback Brad Kaaya for turning pro after he fell all the way to the 215th pick, fourth-lowest in the sixth round, where the Detroit Lions drafted him on Saturday.
But at least Kaaya is a legitimate NFL prospect.
The same cannot be said for running back Joe Yearby, and that's why his decision to turn pro was so inexplicable and regrettable.
As expected, Yearby went undrafted this past weekend. Not a single team has offered him a contract afterward, as of midday Monday.
The San Francisco 49ers called over the weekend and offered him a tryout this week, and Yearby accepted that invitation in hopes of catching on for the 49ers' offseason program.
The Dolphins studied him but opted instead to sign undrafted Michigan running back De'Veon Smith.
Yearby's decision to turn pro ranks as the most questionable of any UM athlete in recent memory.
Upset about getting only three combined carries in UM's final two regular season games, Yearby quickly made the decision to go pro, believing he wouldn't get many carries behind Mark Walton and Gus Edwards. But after Yearby made his announcement, Edwards transferred to Rutgers.
If Yearby didn't have any idea that Edwards would transfer, that shouldn't have been the case. Yearby should have at least weighed that factor before turning pro.
"When he turned pro, I was saying what the hell was he doing?" an NFC scout told me today. "He should take another year at Miami – let them take care of his room, board, tuition. I don't see him getting into a [training] camp. He has quickness. He could go into the arena league. But there's nothing special about him" to think he will be an NFL back.
And his size (5-9, listed at 200) also worked against him in the eyes of NFL teams.
Of the 103 players who turned pro, Yearby was among 28 who went undrafted.
Yearby was a quality college running back. He averaged 6.0 yards per carry last season, 608 total and scored seven touchdowns. In three seasons, he averaged 5.4 per carry and scored 17 touchdowns.
If he had returned to UM, he very likely would have been No. 2 on the depth chart behind Walton at a position where the Hurricanes are desperate to add depth. And he would have received another free year of education to help prepare him for life.
Instead, Yearby – a good young man - made the wrong decision, and one we hope he can overcome as he looks for a job.
More Canes draft postscripts:
• Al Quadin Muhammad, drafted in the sixth round by New Orleans, expressed appreciation that Mark Richt defended him to teams even after Muhammad was dismissed from UM last August amid the rental car scandal.
"Mark Richt played a major part in this (process)," Muhammad told New Orleans media after the draft. "After the situation that happened at the University of Miami, he didn't look at me any different, he welcomed me with open arms and I really appreciated that. It showed what type of guy he is. It showed me a lot about his character and what he is about."
Saints coach Sean Payton also suggested that Canes coaches vouched for AQM, saying: "When you talk to those people at the school, they had a strong opinion about him in regards to football makeup. Certainly, he made some mistakes, but they were ones that we were very comfortable with. ... We sat for a good round and a half waiting on this selection."
Muhammad, who told New Orleans media that "I'm a hell of a pass rusher," also expressed appreciation for UM defensive line coach Craig Kuligowski, former UM coach Al Golden and former UM assistants Mark D'Onofrio and Jethro Franklin.
"They all stayed close to me, spoke to me and also told me to stay focused, keep working hard, do not make the same mistake twice and good things are going to happen," Muhammad said. "I really just relied on the good support I had from the coaches that were around me, that believed and cared about me and loved me as the good person I am. That is pretty much what I relied on. They surrounded themselves around me and helped me. It's definitely going to help me in the future."
• The Los Angeles Chargers defense will have a UM flavor, with Rayshawn Jenkins joining Denzel Perryman.
"I knew that if anything got by me, Rayshawn would be back there to clean it up," Perryman told chargers.com. "If it was a deep ball, you better get ready for the show. The Chargers are getting another hitter and another ball-hawk. He's another Miami guy, I'll put it that way. Just watch out."
Jenkins said the Chargers "got a steal."
• It was surprising to see Stacy Coley drop to the seventh round, where Minnesota took him, and one scout with a different franchise told me today that his team dropped Coley on its board because of durability concerns.
"He has tremendous speed," Minnesota GM Rick Spielman told Minneapolis media. "He can play in the slot, he can play outside, and he always has kickoff return ability. And he makes big plays."
• Carolina Panthers GM Dave Gettleman said UM cornerback Corn Elder, selected in the fifth round, "is smart and instinctive. He plays nickel and outside. He's a tough, tough kid."
Elder told Charlotte media: "A lot of people question my size, but if you turn on the film, you can't tell it. I'm a physical player. I love to tackle and that's what I'm going to bring to this team. I'm going to bring that passion and everything to the field."
• UM added two grad transfers in Richt's first full offseason here and both ended up being drafted: Adrian Colbert in the seventh round by San Francisco and fullback Marquez Williams in the seventh round by Jacksonville.
"We know he can play safety," 49ers general manager John Lynch said of Colbert. "We're going to give him a go at probably corner first. Don't want to speak for the coaches, but this is what we were thinking when we drafted him and know that he has safety versatility and is we believe going to be one heck of a special teams player as well. We've seen it on film. And so, we were kind of crossing our fingers that he stayed up there and he did and we jumped."
• If you missed it, among undrafted players, Jamal Carter joined Denver, Jermaine Grace signed with Atlanta, Justin Vogel with Green Bay and Malcolm Lewis with the Dolphins.
Stan Dobard will have a tryout with Seattle.

Even if you haven't been to China, you probably have heard that the Chinese eat almost anything.
Although not all Chinese eat dogs, insects and monkey brains; there are certain groups who do. This is not strange given how big the population of China is. There will always be some weirdos…
I once watched on TV a man who ate everything raw – insects, plants, even meat.
I remember walking through the streets in Beijing and standing right in front of a stall that sold fried scorpions. I was tempted to try – just for the sake of trying.
But, in the end, I couldn't bring myself to try something with so many legs. And the pointy tail…
Here are a bunch of treats taken from Hangzhou. Would you dare to eat them?

A Sustainable Mardi Gras
As the historic tradition of Mardi Gras unfolds each year, the streets of New Orleans spring to life. Both uptown and downtown burst into a frenzy that shuts the city down in a glorious haze of bright colors and loud cheers. It's an exciting time for locals and visitors alike. Sometimes it helps to think about the way we celebrate, especially in terms of wastefulness and sustainability.
There are many great ways to limit waste during this exuberant celebration. We'd like to share three simple ones for a sustainable Mardi Gras.
Recycle Beads
They come down in droves, and you know won't keep them all. Many hang from balconies, powerlines and trees as "decoration" for the rest of the year. However, most beads are thrown away in tremendous heaps in the wake of parades. Instead of letting them go to waste, why not recycle them for next year?
Arc of Greater New Orleans collects, cleans and re-sells recycled Mardi Gras beads back to Krewes to raise money for their disability services. You can even throw your beads back at Arc's catch and release float — an unmanned vessel pulled behind other floats, providing an easy way to harvest beads for recycling.
Along some parade routes, the Arc places purple and gold recycling bins for your extra throws. They'll even collect your plastic and aluminum. After the parades have past, you can bring your unwanted beads to any Arc location or any of the following locations:
- Whole Foods on Magazine
- Clearview Mall near Semolina Restaurant
- Mardi Gras World near the Convention Center
- Rouses on Airline and S. Labarre
- The Green Project at 2831 Marais St.
Ride a Bike
New Orleans traffic during Mardi Gras season can be a nightmare. Besides negating all the risks associated with festive drinking and driving, biking allows you to avoid traffic, save time, get some exercise and have more fun. However, keep in mind that drinking and biking may seem safer, but is still dangerous and, yes, illegal. The rules of the road still apply, even if your contraption lacks a motor.
Grab some feathers, paint or something funky to add to your bike. Many cyclists create a bike that's more of a costume extension than a transportation mechanism. New to New Orleans? Rent a bike from places like A Musing Bikes or Arts District Bike Rental, among others. You can even sign up for a bike tour in between parades.
BYOC (Bring Your Own Cup)
In a city with liberal open container laws, come prepared with a reusable cup. While Krewe-themed commemorative plastic cups are wondrous spoils of a victorious parade, you shouldn't immediately pour your favorite concoction into them. Take them home and wash them to keep your beverages sanitary, then reuse those for the next parade.
Reusable containers can take many forms: goblets, water bottles, thermoses or just your everyday plastic cup from home. Make a drink, claim your spot and enjoy the show, all without contributing to unnecessary waste.
Whether you're on a float tossing beads or on the sidelines catching them, every parade is chance to help preserve the world around you.
Laissez les bons temps rouler! (Let the good times roll!)

Choice 9/10 MusicTeach
Recorded at the famous Teldex Studio in Berlin, the Nocturne Cello is the second instrument in the Orchestral Tools' new Soloists Series. With the focus firmly on expression, tone and realism, the performer was captured in the solo booth, as opposed to the main studio, for a more intimate, direct sound – enabling you to place the instrument in a solo context in front of the orchestra. The instrument appears in CAPSULE, Orchestral Tools' own articulation-management system, which in turn runs in Kontakt 5.5.1+ (the free Kontakt Player is not supported). At around 2.7GB, it's not a hefty download, but for peace of mind, it can be supplied on a backup SSD for an extra charge.
Cap it all
The Nocturne Cello doesn't have a user guide, as such. However, there is one for CAPSULE (Control And Performance Symphonic Utility Engine) that serves as a 'catch all' for all the Orchestral Tools instruments that utilise its scripting technology. The guide is updated each time a new collection is released and contains only specific information for that product.

Book Review: Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner
See, many people compare the structure of this book to the onion. You peel the story, and as you peel off layers, the story becomes clearer and clearer. It is about 380 pages long, and within the first 100 pages, you would have no idea what is happening at all. I remember sitting in a train traveling from Berlin to Poznan and shaking my head, since I was 60 pages into the book, and I still cannot figure out what was going on. I guess Faulkner was writing using the stream of consciousness method, and it happens that the narrator turned the tap quite open that the stream was gushing out like a flood.
Nevertheless, I continued. After all, I never stop in the middle of a book and quit reading. I always finish my books.
And somehow, this book is one of those exceptions, where as I read further, things became clearer. Names I have seen before started appearing with clarity, and now you realize who had sex with who, who killed who, and who married who.
That being said, I still would say that I learned more about the book from reading the last 5 pages than the 370-something pages that came before it, as these final pages were the Chronology of the events and Genealogy of the characters that appeared in the book. Come to think of it, that was slightly annoying.
After all, my purpose in reading novels is to be temporarily transported to an alternate universe so that I can temporarily escape my commute to and from work. My purpose in reading novels is not for my brain to be turned into mush.
So yeah, I did not like this book. The only thing I liked about this book was the theoretical aspect of it; if you want a book that has an unusual writing style, if you want a book that you could read in order to write a dissertation about, then pick this one. Otherwise, you're just confusing yourself.
If you want to know about the plot, well, there's a poor white guy. He wanted to be rich. He got married, and had a child, but rejected these people when he learned that they were part Black. This later returns and haunts him.
I give this novel 2 out of 5 stars. It's not for me. I probably won't pick up another Faulkner for a while. He doesn't seem to be an author I like. I'll probably go back to Latin American magical realism for my next book.
