The Danger of Total Media Integration
As the world becomes increasingly busy and interconnected it is dragging many members of the population into a spiral of constant multitasking in order to meet deadlines. This acceleration in the pace of society poses a threat to the safety of us all. When a driver gets behind the wheel of a vehicle they are unknowingly committing themselves to the conditions of the road and the conditions of drivers they may come across. Organizations like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are responsible for conducting studies and gathering data to better explain the conditions we see on the road. When examining the plethora of data on driving accident statistics it is clear there is something majorly wrong with the road systems of the U.S.
Thanks to the progress made in the tech industry there are now plenty of handheld gadgets to pull our attention away from what is important. A staggering number of drivers on the road are constantly engaging in distracted driving, a form of negligence that endangers the driver's life and the lives of passengers in passing cars. According to studies done by NHTSA during the day, there are nearly 660,000 drivers using a cell phone behind the wheel. Integration of communication apps, live streaming, and even camera function are some of the leading causes for phone use while driving. Contrary to popular belief it is nearly impossible for humans to properly multitask. A sharpened mind can be partially successful, but driving is an activity that requires full attention and situational awareness. When there is a presence of a cellular device in the car the likelihood of using that distracting device is greatly increased. Phones have become an odd extension to the human hand. Furthermore, smaller devices such as smartwatches and other wearable technology are proof of the growing dependence on devices around the clock. In a separate study, it was found that distracted driving took the lives of 3,477 lives in 2015. Life is too fragile to become distracted by the shiny and bright gadgets pushed down on consumers. As is with any technology, there is an appropriate time and place for usage of that device, but as studies have and will continue to show that time is never while operating a motor vehicle on an open road. In the tragic event that an accident occurs and the victim is left in a debilitated state or becomes dependant on constant assistance they could possibly challenge their case in hopes of receiving just compensation. Victims of serious auto accidents typically undergo traumatic stress during the accident and especially after during recovery. The financial implications alone can be soul crushing. This is why it is important to seek proper guidance in pursuing legal action.
In summary, roadways are cluttered with drivers who are simply not paying attention to their path and their surroundings. In serious cases where an extensive injury is experienced the victim would likely receive appropriate compensation for their care. Through efforts of raising public awareness of the dangers of distracted driving, we can mold a safer future for the growing new generations.

In December, the annual country-by-country (CbC) reporting process kicks in for many multinational companies (MNCs). We share five areas for companies to consider in order to improve the CbC process.
1) Clear roles and responsibilities
First, companies need to ensure clear roles and responsibilities when it comes to CbC reporting:
CbC filings are increasingly managed in a centralized or center-led manner, with the Group tax function compiling CbC data, testing data reliability, preparing CbC templates, converting to XML and filing with the authorities; or the Group tax function oversees the process, with other functions or an outside service provider undertaking some or all of the individual steps.
Ensuring transparent and clear roles and responsibilities of the parties involved saves a lot of time and effort. While this is straightforward in a lot of cases, there are situations where roles and responsibilities in relation to tax and transfer pricing (TP) compliance are unclear, or where the responsibility for TP compliance is decentralized and handled by local business units. Further, every team experiences changing roles, attrition, etc. which reinforces the need for clear and transparent roles and responsibilities across all tax tasks.
Consequently, establishing a set of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for CbC will in many cases make sense and ensure a smooth CbC reporting process. Defining clear roles and responsibilities as well as standard workflows or SOPs is also be a good idea for organizations whose TP compliance responsibility lies with a finance/tax shared service or center of excellence, or where Group tax is relying on other functions to deliver and/or organize CbC data.
2) Country-by-country workflows
In addition to establishing explicit roles and responsibilities for the preparation of CbC reports, a workflow for compiling CbC data, organizing the report and reviewing the outcomes is something all MNCs should think about.
Workflows for CbC reporting (as well as other areas of tax reporting) are beneficial because they:
- Ensure consistency and robustness of data: Companies are often spending considerable time evaluating various sources of data in order to ensure reliability and consistency. Once the source (or more often sources) of CbC data have been identified and validated, this needs to be included in the workflow or SOP. In addition to ensuring consistency with respect to data capture, this also provides a basis for handing over data capture (e.g. from Group tax to finance or a shared service environment).
- Document the tax risk assessment/control framework, internal audit and related purposes: A set of SOPs (and the associated workflow) for the CbC process document part of the company's TP compliance procedures, which are increasingly considered as part of regular tax audits as well as in the countries with tax governance and enhanced relationship programs.
- Reduce resources spent on CbC work. While in principle the process of compiling reliable CbC data and preparing and filing the CbC report is straightforward, we observe that it often involves a significant number of manual steps. Considering the process as part of establishing a workflow, and eliminating non-value-added steps, can significantly reduce the time spent on preparing CbC reports.
3) Data extraction and validation
As part of thinking about CbC-specific workflows, we often see two areas come up: Data extraction and validation are often areas where companies can significantly enhance their processes and start to use automated tools:
- Data sources and automation of data extraction: In order not to manually extract CbC data every year, organizations are increasingly designing CbC data extraction tools, to automate the process and limit the risk of getting the wrong data into the CbC report. In most organizations, reliable CbC data is based both on master data from ERP and/or finance systems as well as tax-specific data from other sources. While the data extraction tool can take many forms, we currently mostly observe first generation Excel-based tools, although some organizations are also designing CbC reports within existing finance modules. As companies increasingly adopt robotic process automation (RPA), we expect to see more organizations coding simple RPA applications for either the data extraction and validation or the end-to-end CbC process (see below).
- Data validation: Irrespective of how CbC data is sourced, it is critical to validate the reliability of the data. Validation has several aspects:
- Are the CbC data points reliable and is there a clear trail to the relevant master data (in cases where the CbC data is not based directly on ERP data)?
- Are CbC data points consistent form year to year, i.e. ensuring that relevant booking or accounting conventions have not changed (and making changes to the data extraction protocol if that is the case)
- How does CbC data tie to other sources of TP related data including TP reports, TP policies, local tax return filing, audited financials, etc.
In a scenario where responsibility is clear, the process of preparing and executing the different steps should also come with a final sign-off by both Group Tax and the local finance teams once notifications have been filed.
4) CbC analytics
While CbC reporting is a major step towards more transparency, there is still a lot of uncertainty about how tax authorities will respond to CbC reports. In principle, we expect CbC reports to inform the taxpayer risk assessment process and outcomes, which most tax authorities undertake (explicitly or otherwise). However, we also expect situations where CbC reports and the data contained therein will be the root cause of individual audits. Finally, it is reasonable to assume that some tax authorities will seek to mine CbC data for insights related to tax risk assessment in a broader sense.
Accordingly, companies can be at a disadvantage if they have not considered how CbC data may be used to asses taxpayer risk from the perspective of tax authorities, or in the context of individual audits or audit themes.
While CbC data certainly offers some interesting insights, it also contains a lot of noise. Further, in our experience there are significant differences from one company to another (although we also see some tendencies in relation to industry correlation). Therefore, aiming for the right level of analytics capabilities when it comes to CbC data is an individual question, although there are some common themes.
During the first years of CbC, flexibility should be a major concern for companies when it comes to building CbC-related (and other analytics applications) in the tax domain. As the practical use of CbC data by tax authorities will evolve over the coming years, getting locked into an inflexible analytics solution should be a concern.
Irrespective of how the analytics application is designed, we see leading organizations building databases of CbC data and reporting in anticipation of tax authority scrutiny in the years to come. The key to organizing the CbC data is again flexibility, to ensure that the CbC reporting master data can be accessed and used for data mining purposes, regardless of the choice of analytics application.
5) End-to-end CbC automation and tax data analytics
MNCs are increasingly exploring ways of organizing for a future in which tax data management and analytics is integrated with other tax tasks and responsibilities.
While CbC is only a small piece of this puzzle, it nevertheless represents an important step in the direction of more tax data transparency. In this area, flexibility is also a key concern, as MNCs move towards better line of sight with respect to all tax data as well as the appropriate analytics capabilities to support governance, business partnering, risk management and controversy initiatives and goals.
This is another area where the use of RPA is beginning to be tested, but where we call for some caution and an agnostic approach when it comes to choosing solutions. It is also an area where forward-looking organizations establish a view of the future in terms of data, analytics, organizational design and automation, before they make choices about technologies, solutions and vendors.

CEO SUMMARY: EHR system vendors must now comply with the federal government's Meaningful Use Stage 2 requirements. Well-established EHR vendors will survive. But smaller EHR companies may struggle to provide the enhancements to their first generation EHR products that are required to certify as MU Stage 2 compliant. These developments mean many physicians may need to find new EHR vendors. In turn, that will require clinical labs to build new interfaces to these physicians' EHRs.
Meaningful Use Stage 2 Is Problem for EHR Firms

Scratch repair pen and polishing pads fill and smooth paint blemishes for unsurpassed results. For the most minor surface scratches that do not penetrate the clearcoat (the shiny coating) a polishing compound such as T-Reduce or a more skilled product such as one particular of the 3M variety of polishers can dramatically enhance the appearance of the scratch if not fully get rid of it. The expense of these kind of goods variety from about five to twenty pounds and can be applied with a simple cotton cloth.
Hello Ahmed,If the scratch is via the clear coat and into the paint (which it sounds as though it is), you are right in needing to make contact with either the dealership that you purchased the auto from or go to a neighborhood body shop that can colour match your paint and fix the deep the dealership or physique shop establish that the scratch is not by means of the clear coat, then our Scratch Repair Pen and Kit will definitely support do the trick to take that scratch away!
To repair scratches and nicks in your car's paint, you very first have to carefully sand the scratch down, making use of 240-grit sandpaper, initially, then going to 320-grit sandpaper, operating gradually to assure you are creating an even and smooth surface exactly where the scratch used to be. Deeper scratches ought to be sanded with 800-grit wet and dry sandpaper.
Most minior panel/bumper repairs will be restored back to pre-accident condition within 2 – 3 hours by a qualified technician, this will save you time and money rather of leaving your vehicle at a panel shop for numerous days, costly hire car charges to replace your car whilst it is becoming fixed as nicely as the price of excess by way of insurance coverage.
We also discovered that the pens can be difficult to use, and that it is not straightforward to get the thin, even line needed to neatly fill scratches without overdoing it. With applicator ideas that are as wide or wider than a common scratch, our sampled items make it challenging to keep away from applying as well much filler, and leaving a visible residue that is a lot more noticeable than the harm you happen to be trying to repair.

Malinda Barna is the owner of Malinda's Fly & Tackle Shop in Altmar, New York. The shop has been there for decades, and is a customary stop for everyone who fishes the Salmon River. She is a veritable authority on all things Salmon River, and here she lays out the problems with our approach to Lake Ontario and its' tributaries.
Everything that has happened is a logical result of three major changes to Lake Ontario only a few years after the first stocking of Pacific Salmon and Steelhead.
- The Clean Water Act of 1970.
- The accidental introduction of shallow water Zebra Mussels in the late 1980's.
- The accidental introduction of shallow and deep water Quagga Mussels in the early 1990's.
These three events have dramatically reduced the nutrient load in Lake Ontario water. Phytoplankton have less availability to their life sustaining nutrients because there are less going into the lake. These nutrients we consider "pollutants" the zebra and quagga mussels filter in large quantities. Also, compounding the issue, the mussels filter out phytoplankton as food sources. This phytoplankton feeds zooplankton which feeds baitfish.
One mussel can filter up to a liter of water per day. People living near Lake Ontario back in the late 1960's say that they could see down into the water about 6 inches. In July of 2011 the 158 year old shipwreck of "Queen of the Lakes" was found near Sodus Point, New York. An article about the find states "The water clarity was good allowing about 75 feet of visibility…" From 6 inches of visibility to 75 feet! Nice for Wreck Diving (if you can see through the mussels) but it can mean starvation for fish.
The NYSDEC Lake Ontario Annual Report 2012 (Executive Summary pg. 1) states… "In recent decades, the Lake Ontario ecosystem has undergone dramatic changes resulting primarily from the introduction of exotic zebra and quagga mussels. In addition, improvements in wastewater treatment have reduced excessive nutrient concentrations to historic, more natural levels, thereby lowering the productive capacity of the Lake Ontario ecosystem. Epilimnetic zooplankton biomass in Lake Ontario's offshore epilimnion declined by 99% over the last 30 years…" In other words… Lake Ontario water is getting too clean.
Phytoplankton (an edible type of algae) contain chlorophyll and require sunlight, water and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis to create the carbohydrates that they use for food. In addition, nitrogen, phosphorous and iron are needed for survival. Nitrogen and phosphorous are needed for reproduction; when both of these are not present phytoplankton cannot continue to thrive.
Zooplankton and other invertebrates such as the shrimplike Diporeia eat phytoplankton. With less phytoplankton there is less food for baitfish.
In an article published about Lake Michigan and Lake Huron in Jan 2012. Tom Nalepa, an emeritus research biologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory in Ann Arbor, found that "the energy density of Lake Huron alewives dropped 23 percent from pre-mussel invasion 1979 to post-invasion 2004, by which time Chinook salmon needed to consume 22% more alewives to attain an ideal size by age 4."
The Alewife is also Lake Ontario's primary baitfish. Alewives naturally contain something called "thiaminase". Thaminase is an enzyme that destroys or inactivates thiamine. Also known as vitamin B1, thiamine is important for the nervous system to function correctly. Thiamine deficiency, most acutely seen by tributary anglers in Steelhead during 2013/2014, can cause nervous system disorders, poor appetite, poor growth, and problems with survival of hatched fry. Mitigation of thiaminase can be achieved by a varied diet. Since Nov 2012 the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) has been trying to do this by reintroducing a native species of bait. The Deepwater Cisco or "bloater" is a thiamine rich baitfish. According to 2012 DEC Commissioner Joe Martens "Lake Ontario's sport fisheries are a significant economic driver in New York State, and were valued at more than $113 million in 2007. Re-establishing bloaters in Lake Ontario will diversify the fish community, adding stability to the lake's ecosystem and sport fisheries."
So, why doesn't the DEC stock more bait? A few reasons… First, if every Hatchery in NY State raised nothing but baitfish it would be eaten up in Lake Ontario after only 1 week. Also, the lake is in a delicate state with the amount of zooplankton available. It would be easy to tip the balance further than it already is and have a catastrophic collapse.
What can be done to contain or eradicate zebra and quagga mussels?
Unfortunately, there are no known methods to control or eradicate these mussels in the wild. Some fish (like the Round Goby) eat the mussels. Unfortunately, according to the USGS, "quagga mussels accumulate organic pollutants within their tissues to levels of more than 300,000 times greater than concentrations in the environment and these pollutants are found in their pseudofeces, which can be passed up the food chain, therefore increasing wildlife exposure to organic pollutants."
So, what can we do?
The NYS DEC needs to recognize…
- The Lake Ontario fishery is NO LONGER primarily a LAKE fishery.
According to the NYS DEC Lake Ontario Annual Report 2012…Total fishing effort for Lake Ontario (actually fishing out in the lake) was 848,905 angler hours (Section 2 Page 4). The tributaries of Lake Ontario had 1,582,428 angler hours. The Salmon River accounted for 68% of the tributaries total with 1,077,316 angler hours. (Section 11 Page 3)
The Salmon River had more angler hours than the whole NYS Lake Ontario boat fishery!** And, according to the NYS 2015 Lake Ontario Fisheries Program Highlights…"Fishing effort directed at trout and salmon (in the lake) has remained relatively stable for more than a decade but was the second lowest on record in 2015."
What does this mean? Lake Ontario TRIBUTARIES are generating more NYS FISHING TOURISM $ than ever before.
- Discontinue supplemental stocking of Chinook salmon. Currently, Lake Ontario's population of Chinook salmon is comprised of 50% naturally reproduced (wild) fish. Stocking a fish that grows from an egg to 25-40lbs in approx. 3 years is an inefficient utilization of the bait remaining in Lake Ontario. Stocking more Steelhead, Brown Trout, and Atlantic salmon, fish that grow from an egg to 6-12lbs in approx. 3 years allows for a greater quantity of fish to be stocked. The consumption of less bait per predator means more fish to fish for! Also, as a bonus, these fish are a more sought-after sport fish in the tributaries.
- The most heavily fished tributaries, such as the Salmon River, should be made NO KILL for all Steelhead, Brown trout, and Atlantic salmon. NO KILL is NOT for reproduction. This is purely a way to allow more fishermen to catch fish for an extended period of time. The NYS DEC Lake Ontario Annual Report 2012 shows that tributary fisherman want this! "Higher release rates in recent years (91% in 2011-2012) are due, in part, to increased catch rates and anglers' desire to conserve steelhead to maintain the quality of the fishery." (Section 11 Page 33). The same report shows that the Salmon River had 8,608 Steelhead harvested that season and 711 Brown Trout. That's over 9,300 fish that could have been caught again… just in this one river! A fish allowed to be caught more than once means jobs for…guides, lodges, restaurants, tackle shops, gas stations, and all the people that work in them. Fishermen want to CATCH FISH! It doesn't matter what the creel limit is; if a fisherman doesn't catch any fish then he/she probably won't come back. If the creel limit is 0 and a fisherman catches 2, 3 or possibly 10 fish…common sense says…they'll be back.
- Educate. Isn't it ironic; undersized Atlantic Salmon, referred to as "Canadian Coho" by some charter boat captains, are being killed out in the lake because of their competition with the Chinook. If these people only understood what is going on in Lake Ontario they might see that the Atlantic salmon (the native species and, once, top predator for Lake Ontario) might just be a better choice for them. A fish that grows more slowly (and therefore eats less bait), historically achieved 40+ lbs. (these fish are much older than Chinook of the same weight) and are an extremely sought-after game fish!
Educate our politicians in Albany about the fishery and its' potential for collapse like Lakes Huron and Michigan or its' potential for transformation into a high quality Tributary and Lake fishery.
Lake Ontario, like all of the other Great Lakes, has many problems that cannot be solved in a short period of time. What we can do that many of the other Great Lakes fisheries did not, is to utilize what we have to its' fullest potential!
It's time to get our heads out of the sand! These problems are not going away. We can either have a fishery for only a few more years or… a FISHERY FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

A friend's daughter is celebrating her 6th birthday and she wants a "Monster High" themed party. Her mother asked me to create a special card that would play on theme. At this time there are no stamps available, so I found a free downloadable coloring pattern of the logo skull and Draculaura so I did some fancy tracing, paper piecing, and copic colouring and here is the card I developed! I also used a spellbinder die cut for the card front. The sentiment was computer generated.
I entered this card into the "femme fatale" girl's birthday card challenge at Without Words. I thought the girl character really embraced the "theme".

Small businesses can grow profits by networking, research shows
Networking can help boost the performance of small businesses, with 50 per cent saying that it has helped them to increase profits, according to research from NatWest.
The research, which surveyed over 630 senior decision makers from small businesses, found that 70 per cent of businesses have secured new business through networking. However, 33 per cent said that they are struggling to form new connections.
The report found that networking is valuable to small businesses, with over 20 per cent spending up to £1,000 on making a new business contact.
Businesses were questioned about how they make fresh connections, with over 65 per cent being found to use traditional methods such as meeting new contacts via existing ones. Just 21 per cent said that they believe that digital platforms such as business social networking website LinkedIn are useful for networking.
The report suggests that networking can help small businesses to form new contacts and boost profits, and businesses are now being urged to consider using it in order for them to boost their growth in 2017.
Commenting on the research, NatWest Managing Director of Business and Private Banking, Marcelino Castrillo, said: "It's clear that meeting the right partners and contacts can make all the difference to a business' growth potential."
He added that it is not always easy for smaller businesses to know how to meet the correct people to help grow their business, and not all entrepreneurs actively make this a priority.

I found this painting today at the Savers thrift store for $7. I originally thought the signature read Barnetti. But after searching around, I stumbled upon paintings by an artist named Caroline C. Burnett. The signature is almost identical, and the subject matter and painting style are the same. Many of the paintings have the same buildings. And people walking, though the number of people varies from picture to picture. And some have trees, and some don't. This painting has three people and one tree. It's an oil painting on a piece of 8″x10″ wood panel. Now as to who Burnett is, I have no idea. I found the artist's name listed on Artfact. But googling the name, I found MANY people seem to have paintings of Paris street scenes signed BURNETT. Someone posted that they have lived in Paris, and some of the scenes are bogus. So these paintings may be painted by a group of people for tourists. Maybe they are painted in China or Mexico. The frame says "HECHO EN MEXICO", like so many of the people's who have Caroline Burnett paintings. Maybe she really really exists and was a prolific painter.

I also found two Burnett paintings in a thrift store in Stouffville, Ontario. Same signature; same Paris themes.

I found a painting at a thrift store that was identical in style and theme, but was signed something like Hill. I am thinking maybe these are mass produced…
Comment by Rob — June 8, 2012 @ 2:16 pm
the signature on your painting looks like BARNETTI and not BURNETT. BURNETT's signature is very neat,properly spaced, and easy to read; (I have an original). The signature on the above is not any of these.

I bought a painting at an estate sale not sure if it's an original or not signature is legible but we weren't sure about the E at first

Michigan is struggling to find resources to fix its crumbling roads and public support for spending more money on transportation infrastructure is dwindling unless government can show that these projects are sustainable.
Rep. Townsend has proposed legislation this year to require that any jurisdiction seeking to use state or federal money to build new road capacity must show that its existing roads are in at least "good" or "fair" condition, as defined by state's Asset Management Council. This policy forces state and local road agencies to be accountable for the condition of their roads before they seek to add to the system, rebuilding faith in government to improve economic outcomes for all.

Four Mexican Wines. Known for blending varietals in somewhat unorthodox ways. Thus spake Demian. (Zarathustra being unavailable and generally unwilling to conduct wine tastings. He's such a pill.) There were ten of us in total at Cava Veinte33 this past Saturday at one-thirty. So proud, were we, to convince eight friends to join us for wine in the early afternoon.
And this is what we tasted:
Wine: Domenica, Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California, Viñas Pijoan, 2006, $350 MXN
Grenache, Petite Syrah, Merlot
Rating: Two Bottles
Named for the winemaker's daughter (he names all of his wines after important people in his life – mostly women), the soft flavours carry this wine across your tongue. This is a slightly gamey wine, which some people have a hard time enjoying, but which I like quite a lot.
This was a very easy wine to drink, but with a slightly sharp finish. We all remarked that this wine had a sharp finish. Someone else remarked that the wine was sharp. It was agreed, then, that this was a sharp wine. Someone (Andrew) said that we were referring to its (the wine's) cleverness. Some card (me) noted that this was a "Witty little number." (There was a LOT of eye-rolling, Saturday.) Black currants and pomegranate were also noted.
A very good start.
We were offered water to rinse with. There was in a pitcher on the table. Andrew took a sip of it. Demian said that it was actually to rinse our glasses. In a spit take that would have made Groucho proud, Andrew immediately let the water fall back out of his mouth and into the glass. It was a triumph. Seriously, one of the funniest things I'd seen all month. And September's been HILARIOUS.
Wine: Los Nietos, Mezcla Bordelesa, Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California, Émeve, 2009, $400 MXN
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot
Rating: Two-and-a-half Bottles
(Rye? Was that RYE I tasted on that wine?) Tart, but smooth. Strawberries? (Rye?) Spicy, it was decided. Cloves and nutmeg, someone said. Demian chose this moment to let us in on a secret about wine: there is no right call on what you taste in a glass of wine. If you taste strawberries, then you DO. What one person may taste, another may not. This wine was the favourite so far, by most. (I still preferred the first bottle. I found it more agreeable. I liked its quirks. I liked that it was both gamey and sharp. It made me think of Englishmen out hunting foxes or something. Then that made me sad for the foxes, but I liked the camaraderie, nonetheless.)
We sat around, discussing what a tannin was. I thought it was something to do with protein. Cara and Megan weren't sure. Andrew kind of agreed with me. Demian told me I was wrong. So far, we were off to a good start.
Wine: Casa Madero, Gran Reserva, Casa Grande, Valle de Parras, 2006, $440 MXN
Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz
Rating: Two Bottles
"Syrupy," said Cara.
"Something," said I.
"Smokey," said Michael.
"Oaky," said Andrew.
"Heavy," said I, not to be outdone. "It tastes like port."
"Thick," chimed in Megan.
We all tried to be appreciative of the wine without sounding like the wine was getting to us. At this point, it was getting a little difficult to taste one wine from the other, but Demian chose well. "This is the oldest winery in the continent. It's been making wine since 1597, taking only a short break when wine-making was outlawed by Spain around 1620." Why they outlawed wine had something to do with imperialism, and I had long since given up taking comprehensive notes. This was a fitting wine for us to drink this weekend, however, it being Mexican Independence Day, which commemorates the start of the Independence War by Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla in 1810. (Take THAT, Spain. We'll drink whatever wine we damn well please!)
Where was I? Oh yeah: Demian chose well. Each wine a little more intense than the last so that we would be able to pick up on the differences. If he had gone the other way, we would have started remarking how watery the wine tasted. I call it the Wedding At Cana Method. Go ahead. Steal it.
We should take a moment to pause here, and comment on the food that we were served throughout the day.
On the Menu: Fried Calamari, Eggplant Parmesan, Pastrami Hamburger with Sauerkraut and Pepper Jack Cheese, Sweet Potato Fries, Chocolate Pudding with a Strawberry Compote
In true Cava style, the food came out at just the right time. Namely, just as we were starting to feel a shade past tipsy. Now, the purpose of this event was not to get drunk, but to try different wines and enjoy good company. And, after three bottles, each of us had had just under three glasses. Not quite three. So, we were feeling SOME vapours, but not too many. All the same, the food came as a pleasant foil for the wine.
The clear favourites were the Eggplant Parmesan and the Pastrami Burgers. Subtle flavours for both, but I have to say, I am a sucker for hamburgers, especially when there is cheese involved. But add a bed of pastrami and sauerkraut? This was quickly becoming my favourite day ever. (Well, next to the birth of my daughter and Obama being elected president, but a VERY CLOSE THIRD.)
Back to the wine …
Wine: Las Nubes, Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California, 2008, $560 MXN
Rating: One Bottle
Maybe it was that we'd already blown most of our taste buds, but this wine did not agree with any of us. A lot of minerals in the wine made it taste salty to most, and the higher level of tannins left a bitter, tart, dry mouth in all. We didn't have a lot to say about this wine. One of the pricier bottles we tried, this was the least appreciated wine of the bunch by all of us.
This was to be our last bottle and we were trying our damndest to enjoy it. Sensing this, and being the consummate host, Demian treated us with a fifth bottle.
Wine: Los Nietos, Reserva, Villa de Guadalupe, Baja California, Émeve, 2008, $550 MXN
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc
Rating: Two-and-a-half Bottles
This wine was much softer and fruitier. (What do you know: we all like fruity wine.) Strawberries and blackberries and dark red fruit made for a magnificent final wine to the day. Doing the math, each of us had about a bottle each, which is a lot. Our tummies full of food and libation, we felt like royalty.
The thing we liked about Demian's tasting was that he educated us on the wines themselves – where they were from, how they were made, the philosophy behind each winemaker's process – but he never told us what we should be TASTING in each wine. He allowed us to discover if we enjoyed them or not for ourselves. Cara tried to trap him, at one point, asking him whether there is a RIGHT way to taste a wine. Whether there actually IS a true palette for each bottle. Like, if a person tastes strawberries, could they be WRONG. But Demian wouldn't take the bait. Instead, he asked her to leave. (Just kidding, but he totally could have.)
And so our great Wine Tasting Event at Cava Veinte 33 came to an end. As we spilled out onto the street, some smoking cigarettes, others picking fights, Megan, Cara and I smiled in appreciation for this wonderful life.
Our thanks to Demian and the entire staff at Cava Veinte33 for their hospitality. Many thanks to everyone who shared the experience with us.

Every now and then, my husband goes on a pancake making frenzy. Flour, egg, milk. Fry them in oil and served them drenched in butter and pure maple syrup. The Sunday morning before last was one such frenzy. I encouraged him to consider using different toppings, but he was adamant they be served the 'traditional way'.
As I skewered a wedge of syrup covered pancake on my fork, I tentatively said, 'I've realised, the problem with having maple syrup this way is that we have so much of it, and it's 40% fructose.'
'It's a treat!' He replied defiantly, and determinedly munched his way through a stack. A few minutes later, he followed up quietly: 'It is very sweet though. I reckon I'd be happy using rice malt syrup these days…'
Occasionally, I use a small amount of maple syrup in baking and cooking, but usually this means no more than a few tablespoons, in something that is going to be divided into many serves, such as bliss balls. Pouring it over pancakes in that extravagant way that we do, is another matter. But, whatever. I didn't want to complain because he'd gone to all that effort.
Half an hour later we were both rolling around the floor. 'I feel like I've been poisoned!' He complained, running to the toilet. We felt awful – hungover, and seedy. My head ached, and my stomach hurt. We drank a lot of water.
Our lesson was learned, once and for all.
So this Sunday, I adapted the old pancake recipe, and made these little sweet potato pikelets. The sweet potato adds a richness that the original recipe didn't have, plus some sneaky nutrition which my three-year-old didn't notice. They were lovely served with peanut butter, cinnamon cream cheese and candied pecans – flavours reminiscent of a pumpkin pie. Still indulgent, but with minimum added sugar (only a tiny bit added to the pecans), and consequently – no headaches, stomach aches or hangovers.
Sweet Potato Pikelets with cinnamon cream cheese and candied pecans
- 1/2 cup wholemeal self-raising flour
- 1/2 cup white self-raising flour – if you only have 1 type of self-raising flour, it is fine to use a full cup instead of a combination of the two (or use 1 cup gluten-free self-raising flour)
- 270ml can coconut milk, shaken up before opening (or 1 cup regular milk)
- 1/3 cup sweet potato puree
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
- Coconut oil, for frying
- Unsweetened, full fat cream cheese, ricotta or greek yoghurt, with a little ground cinnamon stirred through to taste
- Handful of pecans, lightly toasted in a frying pan with a teaspoon of rice malt syrup
- Optional additional toppings: strawberries or other berries, nut butter
1. In a large bowl, sift the flours. Make a well in the centre.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the coconut milk, sweet potato puree, eggs and vanilla powder until well combined. Pour into the well and whisk until all ingredients are incorporated.
3. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and melt a teaspoon of coconut oil. Place spoonfuls (I use a 1/8 measuring cup to ensure they are all equal size) of the batter into the frying pan. Cook for 2 – 3 minutes until the edges begin to set and bubbles appear on the surface, before carefully flipping and cooking on the other side for a further minute. Serve with toppings.
Gluten-free: Use 1 cup gluten-free self-raising flour instead of regular flours.
Dairy-free: Use coconut milk instead of regular milk, and coconut yoghurt as a topping, instead of cream cheese, ricotta or greek yoghurt.

Perhaps you have heard some pieces in the news about trafficking.
This is obviously a very sensitive topic that is hard for me to write about, but after having the information and statistics come at me via four different avenues within days, I thought it best to let others know what is going on in the world around us.
When something keeps hitting you over the head it's either just a coincidence or something you need to pay attention to and do something with.
In this case, I think it is time to get out of my little world a bit and speak up.
I won't go into much detail here, but will let you do the research through the links for yourself. I think they speak for themselves.
First, I'd like to introduce you to Love146. I heard about this movement from my new "friend", Michele from Frugal Granola. I've perused her website over the past year occasionally and now have found out that we share quite a bit in common.
Her post on trafficking really tugged on my heart.
She had made some beautiful Valentine's Day cards to celebrate true love that sacrifices and in this case, they raise awareness of some who are suffering greatly as the objects of lust.
The post on Michele's site explains her role and passion for this project. I hope that you will check out love146.org and hear the whole, horrible story and see a glimmer of hope and help.
First, in light of the Superbowl yesterday, please direct your attention to this blog on True Woman highlighting domestic trafficking.
I only saw a bit of the game, but what I did see of the halftime act shows just how oversexed our culture has become. I was greatly disturbed at the commercials and the halftime entertainment, while others in the room seemed oblivious. Is it no wonder, then, that the gift of God that sex is has become a commodity that drives many to sell their souls and abuse others?
Secondly, I would like to direct your attention to Planned Parenthood. Now, this is not a discussion primarily about abortion and I ask that if you are "pro-choice" that you not leave me now. We can talk about that issue at another time.
What I would like you to do is to watch the videos and read the commentary at Expose Planned Parenthood.com including footage documenting Planned Parenthood workers aiding a pimp's underage sex ring. The following video shows some of the story, but you will want to watch more to get a better grasp of the extent of the corruption:
This is nothing short of appalling. The U.S. government was set up, as all governments are supposed to be, in order to protect its citizens. Instead, we are, with out tax dollars, supporting the abuse of some of our country's most vulnerable members. Our children.
When are we going to say, "Enough is enough?"
Now, I am all for spending time at home with your family. I am, myself, quite a homebody, especially when my fatigue hits hard. And I am well aware of the effects of stress on one's health and the need to "pull back" when issues both within and without our four walls become overwhelming. I also recognize that there is a balance here to be struck. We can't be all about "doing" in our society while our families suffer.
However, I have found myself increasingly disturbed when I speak with women who say, "It all just was getting to be too much so I had to turn off the radio." I don't really mind women saying that they turned off the television news, because in truth, not much of it is true news anyway. However, as responsible citizens, we ought to be aware of what is going on and then seek to know what we are to do with that knowledge. At the very least, we ought to be praying. What goes beyond that, we need to ask ourselves, our husbands (if we are married) and the Lord.
We also ought to consider how we can draw our families into our community service, our ministry and into influencing the world for the better. Children can do more with you than you otherwise might think.
Please look at the above referenced resources of information and then act as you think you ought.
I will leave you with three quotations to ponder:
The first is attributable to Edmund Burke, though apparently it has never been found in his writings in its entirety:
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing"
The second is one possible source of the above quote by Burke from his Thoughts on the Cause of Present Discontents, from 1770:
"When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."
The third is from Jesus, from Matthew 5:13
"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot."
If you are a believer in Christ, a true follower of Him, then we are to be salt to the rest of the earth. We are to have an effect and act as a preserver of the good. Otherwise, we deserve to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
Think about how you might serve those in dire trouble today. We often talk about giving up a latte in order to make a financial donation. How about giving up a social time of coffee or time perusing the internet for another great deal and instead send this information on to others so that they might join together in this fight against evil. Let us not be good men and women who do nothing.
True words to ponder. Godspeed.

American oceanographer and archaeologist
Robert Ballard has participated in over 100 deep-sea expeditions during his career. Ballard is perhaps most well known for leading the 1985 French-American expedition that discovered the wreckage of the RMS Titanic. However, Ballard has made many great contributions to the fields of oceanography, marine geology, and underwater archaeology. He is a pioneer in the use of underwater submersibles in the location and survey of deep-water subjects.
Ballard was born in Wichita, Kansas, but his family soon moved to San Diego, California. He developed a lifelong love of the ocean as a child. When he was a teenager, he traded studying creatures in tidal pools for SCUBA lessons. Ballard decided to pursue ocean research as a career when he entered college. He attended the University of California, earning dual undergraduate degrees in geology and chemistry in 1965. He trained dolphins for...

I love getting ready for Halloween and celebrating Mexico's traditional holiday, Los Dias de Muertos by painting a few masks and dressing up my studio skeleton in honor of both holidays.
A few years ago my International Baccalaureate (IB) students and I researched Mexico's holiday also known as "The Day of the Dead," by creating cigar box shrines. If your not familar with this holiday, it is a time for families to remember and honor departed ancestors, friends and family.
If you would like to see the cigar box shrine that I created in memory of my good friend and artist Marlene Scott, click on her name.
Hope you enjoy the pictures, and a walk down memory lane with me.

Northern Solomons - Bougainville - Bismarck Archipelago
Marianas - Western Caroline Islands - two Jima - Okinawa
July 2001
Chow Down, Chow Down!
Well, another summer is upon us and so far'it hasn't been too bad in this area. In fact, with plenty of rain and below normal temperatures, it's been right pleasant. Now for the news!
I have some roster changes as follows:
Vinnie DiMaio PO Box 16553 West Haven, CT 06516
Also, I'm sorry to report the death of Anne Blackman, the widow of Sid Blackman, on February 28. She had attended three or four of our reunions with Sid and was a most charming lady.
Mike Plessl advised that he has up-to-date rosters and would be happy to send one to whomever requests. By the way, Mike is recov- ering from a very serious back operation and, hopefully, is on his way to a speedy recovery. Wish him well!
Since my last letter, I have heard from the son and the daughter of two of our shipmates. The first is Kevin Kays whose father, Harold, was a plankowner and MMl/c aboard the FULLAM; he passed away in 1987. The other is Lana Cox Shrader whose father, Thomas Cox, was a TM3/c and. also a plankowner; he passed away in 1978. Both of these "kids" would sure like to hear from any shipmates of their fathers who can tell them anything about their dads while aboard the FULLAM. Their addresses are as follows:
Kevin Kays 216 Pennsylvania St. Staunton, IL 62088
Good news! I finally found out where I can obtain the Deck Logs of the FULLAM that I did not have. I want to thank Jim Carey for his assistance as he lives in the same city where these logs are located; that is, College Park, MD. Consequently, I have gone ahead and order- ed the missing pages so that when they arrive, we will have all of them from March 2, 1943, through February 28, 1946. These are your logs and if you wish any information, I will make every effort to locate it and forward it on to you. I am planning to instruct my family to send all of these logs to the USS KIDD museum in Baton Rouge on my passing so that they will always be available to whoever wishes to see them such as our children or grandchildren.
Over the years I have aquired a substantial library of books dealing with WW 2 and the Navy. Every now and then I will peruse a few and recently I found several pages in a book that you would be most inter- ested in so check your local library or book store. The name of this book is "The Little Giants" by Wm. T. Y'Blood, published in 1987, ISBN- 0-87021-275-3. Look-up pages 382-390 as they contain the full and detailed account of the Kamikaze attack on the USS SANGAMON and the FULLAM is well represented. It's certainly worth your time to look this book up.
In the June issue of "Naval History" magazine there is an article that I want to pass along to you:
"The national D-Day Museum in New Orleans, which opened in June, 2000, has announced its first major expansion, The new exhibit, 'The D-Day Invasions in the Pacific' is scheduled to open on 7 December 2001, the 60th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
The new gallery, totaling approximately 5,000 square feet, will incLude a combination of photos, videos, artifacts, interactive displays, maps, and oral histories. A large animated map of the Pacific Theater will summarize the major campaigns and battles that took place over a 44-month period, beginning in December 1941 and ending with the surrender of Japan in August 1945. A 200-foot-long serpentine timeline wall will follow the major D-Day invasions of the war in the Pacific, with special emphasis on major amphibious assaults such as Guadalcanal, Bougainville, New Guinea, Tarawa, Saipan, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa."
I think this will point out the influence and importance of the mighty FULLAM; of the eight Pacific invasions described, we participated in five of them!
You recall that in my last letter I included a couple of photographs of several of our shipmates taken in a San Francisco night club back in '44. I had identified some of them and some of you wrote me and named a few more. In the top photo Derossier is tne first one on the left side in the top row with Gordon in the middle; Bauman is in the first row, left side, while Boychuck is on the right side. I have two ID's for the shipmate between Hamilton and Boychuck, namely Collins or Curtin. In the lower photo Rennie is on the first row, left side, and Campbell is in the middle row, right side; also, Bauman and Derossier are in this picture. The one between Bauman and Campbell is thought to be P.K. Gilbert according to his younger brother.
On the final page of this letter I have included two more photographs which were taken in Kodiak, Alaska. I have the top one and can ident- ify every shipmate. My memory isn't that good - I wrote the names and rates of each when I received the photo! Standing from left to right: Ferguson, TM3/c; Galloway, TM3/c; Beyer, QM1/c; Dudutis, GM2/c; Peck, TM3/c; Cicero, SC3/c; Radke, SM2/c. Kneeling: Ed Johnson, GM1/c; Hewson, Sml/c; Castaldo, GM2/c.
The lower photograph was sent to me by Max Yergin and he named the shipmates as follows: Harold Kasperian, unknown, Max Yergin, Ray Craft, unknown. Can anyone help us out by identifying the two unknowns?
One of the more interesting things you learn while perusing the logs is perhaps why some of our shipmates did not pursue a particular profession after leaving the Navy. For example, the following item certainly did not help Garrett Lynch toward a major league baseball career. The following was dated 19 April 1943:
1605 LYNCH, Garrett Conklin, 2243751, S2/c, USN, received a broken tooth when he missed catching a pair of pliers that was tossed to him.
On the same date and just before the above incident it was nice to know that somebody got a taste of fresh fruit as follows:
1550 Received on board fresh pineapple. Inspected for quant- ity by MALLETTE, Elmer Thomas, 3719909 CCS (AA) USN and, for quality by Lieut. (jg) E.P. Berry; MC, -USNR.
Makes you wonder what the importance of Chief Mal1ette's serial number was to whether or not the pineapple was even fresh?
I believe some of you mentioned this method of leaving the ship at some of our reunions; this item was dated 13 June 1943 and I think we were still in Boston:
1935 Man believed to be DECOSTER, Alvah Joseph, 2025828, S2/c, USN seen to go down forward line absent without leave.
In closing, here's wishing you all a great summer and to you golfers such as me, many pars and maybe a few birdies. I'm still open to your memories so send them on and if you need any thing from the logs, let me know.
Your old shipmate,
Paul "P.T. " Beyer

Come and indulge yourselves in a treasure of exciting experiences, provided by nature and locals, who follow her inspiration
Come and indulge yourselves in a treasure of exciting experiences, provided by nature and locals, who follow her inspiration. Port Beaufort situated on the banks of the river, and Witsand on the seaward side, where the river meets the mighty Indian Ocean. Our village offers the best of both worlds with sea and river activities to enjoy. Witsand is known as THE Whale Nursery of South Africa. This is due to the largest concentration of Southern Right Whales that are found in San Sebastian bay each year. The 2013 aerial survey revealed that 82 new calves were born last season. The highest ever! Total of 184. It is nothing unusual to see up to 70 whales in the bay at one time. No licence for boat based whale watching, but we have various look out points from which to view them and photograph them.
Long stretches of pristine beach are complimented by wonderful displays of Cape fauna & flora. Bird life abounds all around us and includes the Black Oyster catcher, and our national bird, the Blue Crane. The wide estuary of the Breede River is another natural wonder. Rich in historical value about the Barry family that opened up this area to commerce with a number of ships, the best known being the "Kadie". "The Barry Memorial church" built in 1859 is still in use today.
The bay and estuary provide a paradise for kiteboarders on flat water, and share these spaces with other natural watersports. Fishing is a tradition here, and the tall stories of those that were landed or lost, are often a feature of entertaining evenings with the locals.
The only hand operated pontoon in South Africa is found up at Malgas, 35 km upriver, faithfully servicing this area of unpretentious human connections, and experiences that will create life long memories.

Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/16/2018 -- Global Dental Consumables Market: Snapshot
The growing number of dental issues across the world are fuelling the demand for dental consumables. These consumables are predominantly used for tooth restoration, treating dental impairments, and related gingival tissues. The global dental consumables market has been thriving in recent years due to the increasing dental tourism in developing countries. Citing these reasons, analysts predict that global dental consumables market will be worth US$33.4 bn by the end of 2024 from US$19.6 bn in 2015. The overall market between 2016 and 2024 is expected to rise at a CAGR of 6.1%.
Several emerging economies such as Turkey, Hungary, and India are expected to offer lucrative opportunities to the global market in the coming years. The low cost of labor, less government intervention, effective dental treatments, and improving services are expected to draw in a large number of patients for dental treatments. The market is also thriving due to the remarkable improvements in the quality of dental implants, which has assured several patients to opt for dental treatments. Rising disposable incomes, improving lifestyles, and growing awareness about oral healthcare are also expected to drive the global dental consumables market in the next few years.

Resemblance of Crowns and Bridges to Natural Teeth Make them Most Preferred Choice of Dental Consumables
In terms of products, the global market is segmented into retail dental care essentials, crowns and bridges, dental biomaterials, orthodontics, dental implants, dental consumables, endodontics, and periodontics. Of these, the crowns and bridges segment has been leading the global market and is expected to remain dominant all throughout the forecast period. These devices are used for creating a protective layer over damaged part of the tooth. The segment is receiving a significant boost due to introduction of advanced technologies such as CAM and CAD. Analysts anticipate that the market could also benefit from the rising awareness about cosmetic dentistry, improving life expectancy, and a huge pool of geriatrics across the globe. The report also suggest that stability of crowns and bridges and their resemblance to natural-looking tooth are also expected to drive the demand for this segment. Furthermore, the rising cost of metals has negatively impacted the metal-based crowns and bridges, tilting the demand toward newer ones.

Never mind that Shinzo Abe, front-runner to succeed Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi next month, has a hawkish stance in foreign policy almost assured to aggravate Japan's already rocky relations with its Asian neighbors.
What will dictate the race to lead Japan as the next head of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is an ability to work a crowd with sound bites and tough talk, much like the outgoing prime minister -- which analysts say is likely to hand a Sept. 20 election as party president, and the prime minister's job, to the popular Abe over his more dovish opponents.
"In Japanese politics today, a leader's charisma has become what matters most," said Jiro Yamaguchi, political scientist at Hokkaido University. "After five years of Koizumi, the public has gotten used to having a charismatic prime minister."
Koizumi is one of Japan's longest serving prime ministers thanks in part to his populist appeal to average Japanese. Since an LDP-led coalition controls both houses of parliament, whoever wins election as the party's president is all but guaranteed the premiership when Koizumi steps down on Sept. 30.
It hasn't hurt hard-liner Abe's chances that as government spokesman he announced North Korea's missile tests earlier this month and made clear the strong Japanese reaction to a public nervous at being in missile range. Though Abe, 51, has not declared his candidacy, he has given plenty of hints he wants the top job, and opinion polls show he is the most popular choice.
"Like Koizumi, Abe's popularity isn't so much about his policies," said Minoru Morita, a political commentator based in Tokyo. "It's about Abe as a person -- his ease with the media, youth, personality and handsome looks."
Comedy show
Abe's many recent media appearances have included a prime-time comedy show where he showed off his archery skills. In the book Toward a Beautiful Country, published earlier this month and seen as a campaign platform, Abe discussed world politics but also critiqued the Hollywood movie Million Dollar Baby and France's World Cup team.
The populist turn in Japanese politics comes at an unfortunate time when the country needs sound policies to tackle deteriorating relations with its neighbors, as well as a shaky economic recovery.
Relations with China, a top Japanese trade partner and economic powerhouse, have plunged to their lowest in decades -- hurt by Koizumi's repeated worship at a war shrine with close links to Japan's past militarism, territorial spats and a dispute over undersea gas deposits.
Abe, a grandson of wartime Cabinet member and postwar prime minister Nobusuke Kishi, has staunchly supported Koizumi's visits to Yasukuni Shrine, though he has not said whether he would worship there as prime minister.
Yasukuni honors Japan's 2.5 million war dead, including war criminals executed after World War II, and Koizumi's visits have irked China and other Asian neighbors. Beijing has refused top-level talks since the leader's last visit in October, accusing him of glorifying Japan's militaristic past.
On Friday, Abe disparaged Beijing's criticism of the visits as political posturing.
"Is it correct for China to refuse summits just because of Yasukuni?" Abe asked at an LDP policy debate that also brought together two other likely candidates for the premiership, Foreign Minister Taro Aso and Finance Minister Sadakazu Tanigaki.

text: + A dry-fracture technique for the optimum preparation of microsporidia-infected tissues for scanning electron microscopy стр.3-12 Brian S. Batson бесплатно скачивание файла PDF Позволяет скачать файл без ограничений. В корзину A technique for the optimum preparation of microsporidia for scanning electron microscopy is described. Microsporidian-infected tissues were subjected to a triple fixation procedure followed by slow dehydration and critical point drying. Fracturing of the tissue to reveal details of both host and parasite was delayed until immediately before coating of specimens with gold; the exposed parasites were therefore free of extraneous contamination, displayed minimum distortion and retained their spatial relationships with each other and with the host tissue. The value of the technique is illustrated by examination of microsporidia both with and without sporophorous vesicles, including species representing the genera Tuzetia, Amblyospora, Pleistophora and Nosema.

At the end of May, I put out a call for suggestions from readers for a word meaning "the pain you feel when you realize something you love about the world is doomed to obsolescence." I got a few suggestions, and here are some of the best.
Hipster: I don't know what the word would be, but I bet the Germans already have one. — "Hans"
Ah yes, German, the brutally beautiful language that contains words such as Schattenparker (a selfish wimp who parks under the trees in a parking lot rather than leave the choice spots for little old ladies) and Kummerspeck (literally grief bacon, meaning the poundage packed on by anyone attemping to eat away the pain of a hard breakup).
The almost perfect for our purposes Weltschmerz (the pain of realizing the whole world is riddled with imperfections) very nearly captures what I want to convey, but, in all fairness to the efficient Teutons, Weltschmerz is too general — although I would agree the sensation we're trying to name here would qualify as a specific flavor of Weltschmerz.
All told, I don't blame you for guessing as you did. I wonder if there's a German word for "mistakenly believing there's a German word for everything"?
Dear Hipster: Blockbuster Syndrome? — Anna
Definitely on point, but I don't think anybody, except for those crazy Alaskans with Russell Crowe's jockstrap, feels much in the way of sadness over the passing of Blockbuster from life to legend to myth.
DJ: For that thing you want a word for, how about calling it a "Big Yellow Taxi"? You know, "You don't know what you've got till it's gone" and all that. — Lynn
Ooh, so close! Joni Mitchell plumb near warbled out the answer 50 years gone, but the woeful timbre of the song encompasses a purely retrospective angst, whereas the word we need looks forward, to sorrows yet unrealized but keenly felt in the present on account of their inevitability.
Dear DJ: Word (or words in this case) for the pain of realizing something you love about the world like malls, books on paper, or even spinach-feta bagels is "Jimmy Carter." E.g., you might say "Man, I feel so Jimmy Carter about the world." or "My favorite restaurant just went Jimmy Carter on me. Why can't I just I just have what I love for the rest of my life?" By the way, Jimmy Carter looks great for his age, don't you think? — B.B.
I agree, President Carter still looks pretty spry for 93.
As for the rest, I've been trying to figure it. If you mean Carter was an underappreciated executive in his time, then the metaphor fails along the same lines as "Big Yellow Taxi."
But, if you mean you felt that way back in, say, 1979, like you wanted Carter to stay President for life because only you understood his genius; then, well, I think the term would seem most apropos to your own usage.
Even so, I fear it's just a little too obscure. Coming from me, who lives his life one obscure reference at a time, that's saying something. In order to win the hearts and minds of the public at large, the right word must immediately resonate with anyone and everyone. So, unless anyone wants to second "Jimmy Carter," I'll keep taking suggestions at [email protected]

DJ: As a Boomer LGBTQ cis-male (a whole new vocabulary for me) who lived through the AIDS epidemic, I propose Gaybar as the word you are searching for. I file this thought under the heading of "Be careful what you wish for." As a recent KPBS explore program illustrated, Gay Bars are disappearing with the acceptance of the Millennial Generation of gender fluidity and the ubiquity of internet websites such as Grindr. As you stated in your June 28th column closing paragraph, I feel that this word would resonate with practically everyone.
