As of today, October 8, 2016, I have not been on a motorcycle in seven days. This is the longest "break" in recent memory.
I am battling depression on an hourly basis.
I am supposed to be in Las Vegas, battling for three championships.
This is my last race report for 2016.
Friday Practice
On Friday, I woke up at the track and was looking forward to the day. Friday practice for this AFM round was hosted by Zoom Zoom and I am a part of their on-track instructional staff.
Helping other riders realize their potential and (to steal a phrase from Ken Hill) to be faster, safer riders is such a joy that I do not do any race practice on Fridays; I focus on helping other riders be safer and faster.
Since I am currently down to one race motor I decided to run my 2011 ZX–10R on Friday and save my last race motor as much as possible as I have a double header the very next weekend and cannot afford to blow my motor by running it hard for 7–14 20 minute sessions on a Friday.
First session in the morning was the normal lead follow with the beginner group and at the end of the session I struck up a conversation with a relatively new rider who had lots of questions and lots of hunger.
Second session I set up at the side of the grid in case any of the riders wanted an instructor to follow along with them and work with them during the session.
That is what we are there for.
The same rider I spoke with wanted some one-on-one so we spent the session working together. I would lead, show him lines, then have him lead. Following him I would pick a couple of spots that can get the largest improvement, get ahead of him, and help correct his line.
He did fantastic in that session and I encouraged him to continue working with the lines. He decided to continue working with me for the rest of the day.
By the end of the day he was doing absolutely amazing. Hitting his markers, being extremely consistent and generally having a great time. He wanted to try the intermediate group to ride with his friend but the friend ended up having an incident and he stayed in the beginner group continuing to hone his skills.
A great day, impossible not to have a smile on your face when you see the joy another rider gets from the improvements they have made through the day.
Saturday Practice
Saturday morning is my first time on my 2011 SeriousRnD R4 this weekend. Very first session is all about feeling. Does she feel right. Does anything vibrate? Is she singing her normal song or is something off?
By the end of the session I was absolutely happy with her. She was running perfectly, the tires were exactly right, suspension got warmed up, engine is singing her beautiful song.
Session 2 is about getting my head up to pace. Find my markers for the weekend (they change week to week), confirm where I want to apex the corners, get settled into my lines. At the end of the session I am within 2 seconds of race pace. I could not be happier.
Session 3 is the first session in "anger". This session is about running at or near race pace and a double check that everything is where I want it.
Session 4 and 5 are after lunch on Saturday and it is always a toss up if I go out for them. I decided to use Session 4 and I skipped Session 5. I need to save this motor.
Formula 40 Light — Saturday Race
As I have mentioned before, F40L started out as "slow old guys" and now is "fast ex-champions". My pace is not at the front in this race at Thunderhill and I tend to use it to have fun and to settle the racing nerves before Sunday.
Considering I am not in the points this weekend and my championship battles are next weekend in Las Vegas I had an extremely clear head.
- Get a good start.
- Find someone to catch.
- Have fun.
As we got off the line I see my friend Owen slot in front of me as we enter T1. Owen and I have had some great battles this year and I was looking forward to another one this race.
I had no interest in pushing on the first lap. You can't win the race on the first lap but you can lose it. I followed Owen around the track and planned where the dance would start in lap 2.
As I passed under the bridge and entered into T14 is when everything changed.
I have no memory of that corner.
Incident in Turn 14
On lap one, there was another racer behind me. Unbeknownst to me he was right on my tail. For an unknown reason he did not brake for T14 when I did. Instead his front tire made contact with my rear tire and caused me to crash in T14.
If that was the end of the story you would be reading about Sunday races next.
Unfortunately, after our bikes made contact, while I was sliding off the track, the other rider's bike made contact with my right shoulder.
This broke my right clavicle and caused two brain bleeds.
If it was just the clavicle, I would probably be in Vegas right now grunting through the pain to finish my races. But with the brain bleeds it is simply too risky to race until my brain has time to heal.
What went wrong?
Unfortunately the answer will forever be "I don't know."
My rear camera failed to record all day and the other rider did not run any cameras.
Naturally, he claims I did something unusual but I don't see anything unusual on my front camera.
I passed the bridge, I broke for T14.
On Lap 1 I always grab a little extra brake to make sure they are hot because it is literally the FIRST heavy braking zone on the track for a 450.
What I expected to happen was to grab a solid handle on the brakes, feel how they are biting and modulate from there.
If they are hot, I would drop down to probably 20% braking.
If they are cold, I would hold them and modulate through the corner as they heat up.
Normal first lap at Thunderhill.
What happened is another story and one that will forever be unknown.
The aftermath
I will be working from home for at least another week.
I am scheduled for surgery on my right shoulder in two days (Monday morning).
I was points leader in three classes in WERA West and as I sit here writing this race report I am watching those championships going away.
The bike will be repaired.
The gear will be repaired/replaced.
I will be spending the winter break getting back into race fitness once I am able to start exercising the shoulder. Right now I am losing muscle mass on a daily basis and need to combat that as quickly as possible.
My goal is to be fit for the season opener of WERA West which usually starts at the end of January.
The only unknown is how well the brain bleeds will heal.
I demand a full recovery.
My Sponsors
I am extremely disappointed that I have let my sponsors down this year by both not being able to complete the season in AFM or WERA West and by not winning championships for them.
That will forever be a scar on my soul.
Everything they have done for me has performed spectacularly and I would not change a thing. I implore you to take a look at their offerings if you are looking for gear, tuning, parts or vinyl. You simply cannot make a better choice.

ship, and it is no wonder, for it was an article of their creed, that their gods were not free from vice. The principal parts of idol worship were, o I. Sacrifices, viz. victims, salt cakes, libations, honey, and incense. It was necessary, that the person who offered them, should be washed, be clad in newly-washed garments, and be pure, i. e. have abstained from sexual intercourse. The victims were different according to the different deities; they were to be free from all defect, and omens were gathered from them by an inspection of the internal parts, especially the liver. Not only animals, but human beings also were immolated by almost all the nations to their gods, Eusebius, PRAep. Evang. L. IV. c. 16. p. 155–161. Pliny, Hist. Nat. XXVIII. 3. Diodor. Siculus W. 32. By the Canaanites especially, the most promising of their offspring were sacrificed, Lev. 18:21. 20: 1–9. Deut. 18: 9–14. Libations of wine were poured out between the horns of the victim, Ovid, METAMoRPlios Es, VII. 59: 3; but when no victims were slain, they were poured upon the earth. II. Prayers. The worshippers, in the intervals of time between the offering of the successive supplications, were accustomed to employ themselves in kissing or embracing the hands and knees of the idols. Great care was taken, in respect to the formularies of supplication, that nothing might be omitted or improperly uttered, and that no title of honour should be passed by for any thing of this kind rendered the prayers, to which the persuasive power was attributed, inefficacious, Pliny, Hist. NAT. XXVIII. 3. Valerius Maximus XIII. 1, 5. In consequence of these feelings on the subject, their prayers were uttered syllable for syllable, and both syllables and words were often repeated; a practice, which is condemned by our Saviour, Matt. 6: 7. When they prayed, they often wounded their bodies, or shouted and leaped around the altar, 1 K. 18: 26–29. Strabo. p. 801. Lucian De Salt. Athenaeus SYMPos, Lib. II. l. III. Festivals were celebrated by the heathen in honour of their false deities; on which occasions sacrifices were offered, feasts were held, there were various sports and exercises; and solemn processions, in representation of their mythological history, proceeded through the streets. To the Mysteries, which were celebrated on certain of these festivals, no one had access, but 512 § 403. conceRNING Diviniations, etc.
those, who were initiated; and still it does not appear, that any more correct religious notions were taught in them, than on other occasions. On the contrary, Cicero, (DE NAT. DeoruM Lib. I. 42.) remarks, that they were occupied rather with an explication of the nature of things, than of the science of the gods; but he makes a further remark, however, in his Tusculan Questions, Bk. II. 1, that the doctrine prevailed in them, that the gods were formerly men. IV. Purifications. These were performed by water, blood, fire, sulphur, and among the Mehestani, by the urine of oxen also; by which all impurity was taken away, and as they believed expiation could be made for any crime whatever, Zend-Avesta, P. II. p. 340–342. 343–378. P. III. p. 209–220. W. A part of the worship in question consisted in the prostitution of females and boys; and in Egypt bestiality likewise made a part of it, Herodot. 1.93. 182. 199. Valerius Maximus III. 6, 15. Athenaeus SYMpos. XIII. Strabo. p. 272. In the temple of Venus at Corinth, there were more than a thousand prostitutes, Strabo. 378. comp. 1 Cor. 5: 9–11. 6: 9, 13, 18. 2 Cor. 12:21.
§ 403. CoNcerNING Divisations, Etc.
In the early ages of antiquity, numerous divinations and sleights of hand were practised, and the imposters, who understood them, were held in distinguished honour.
I. As early as the time of Joseph, there appeared in Egypt persons of this description, called cost-ri, in the Egyptian dialect chentom, i. e. workers of miracles, otherwise called is 90/gauluarsts, or those skilled in the interpretation of hieroglyphical characters. We find, that, in the history of the patriarch just alluded to, these persons were held in much honour, as interpreters of dreams, Gen. 41: 8, and in the history of Moses, we find them making attempts at miracles, Exod. 7: 11–18. Two of these workers of wonders, the Jews agree in calling Jannes and Jambres, 2 Tim. 3: 8, comp. Jabloniskii opusc. I. 401. Eichhorn's Repert. XIII. 18. The astrologers, who are mentioned, Dan. 1: 20. 2: 2, 10. 4: 4–6. 5:11. and are denominated op-r, do not appear to have been the same with those in Egypt, although they professed to interpret dreams. Perhaps, in order to ascertain the
§ 403, concerNING Divinations, Etc. 513
true meaning of the term, by which they are designated in these instances, we ought to compare the Chaldee word tie-in with the c. * / C / Persian word Joo-\,- DhardaMANd, i.e. one skilled in science. II. Necromancers, nisiN, 5°23'3", were very numerous. It was one of the Laws of Moses, that persons of this description should be put to death by stoning ; for those, who attributed to the dead a knowledge of future events, which belongs to God alone, virtually disclaimed his allegiance, Lev. 20:26. The Hebrew words above quoted properly signify the spirits of the dead, and are applied to Necromancers by metonymy; for the Arabic Ain
Wav verb J. which is the root of six, means to return, so that we may consider the strict meaning of the derivative to be a spirit returned, i. e. from the dead; while the other word too, (from so to know) means those that know, i. e. the spirits of the dead, who were supposed to reveal the events of the future. In the same way, the Greek 6aluov is derived from Öalo, the Latin disco, Lev. 19: 31. 20: 27. Deut. 18: 1 I. 1 Sam. 28: 3–10. 2 K. 21: 6. 23:24. The imposters, who bore the name of Necromancers, and who were designated in the Hebrew by the words, upon which we have now remarked, pretended, that they were able by their incantations to summon back departed spirits from their abodes; and hence we find, that they are coupled in the same passage (Deut. 18; 11.) with enchanters, or -an. They themselves uttered the communications, which they pretended to receive from the dead. They doled them out syllable by syllable, sometimes muttering in a low tone, and sometimes peeping like a chicken. Hence they are denominated in Isaiah Evesto Evans, those, that mutter and peep, Is. 8: 19, 29:4. The ventriloquists, bot: N, mentioned in Is. 19: 3, do not appear to have been essentially different from these. III. Other sorts of diviners were, (1) those, who drew their auspices from the clouds, denominated in Hebrew boy, Bosn; (2) those, who founded their predictions on the condition of the internal parts of animals, and are called coop; (3) those, who drew their omens from serpents, called Bor: ; (4) the astrologers properly so called, boroz, E*E*=". The latter class were, at a late period, known to the Romans by the name of Chaldeans. 514 § 403. conceaning Divinations, etc.
The Hebrew words, however, which are found not only in the books of Moses, but in all parts of the Old Testament Scriptures, are much broader in signification, than the term used by the Romans. (5) There was another class of persons, who pretended, that they could render serpents innocuous by their incantations. If the serpent happened to bite, notwithstanding the skill of the charmer, they said, he was deaf, Ps. 58: 4, 5. Jer. 8: 17. Eccles. 10: 11. Pliny, Hist. NAT. XVIII.4. XXVIII. 6. These persons, who are very well known by the name of Psylli, are found at the present day in the East. IV. Omens and prodigies were noticed by all nations, especially by the Romans; hence they are carefully mentioned by their historians. We have to reckon among these prodigies not only monsters, comets, eclipses of the sun and moon, meteors, showers of blood or stones, and the speeches of cows and oxen; but also others, which occurred every day, as the flight of birds, the sneezing of men, cross or squinting eyes, a ringing in the ears, words spoken in one sense and understood in another, the casual meeting of certain men and animals, for instance a negro, a cat, and a hare. But they were none of them supposed to be attended with any injurious effect, provided they were not seen, Valerius Max. I. 4–7. Suetonius in Augusto's 92. Pliny, XXVIII. 5. 7. Arrianus, Exped. Alexandri, VII. 24. Jer. 10: 2. There was also a sort of divination or lot practised among the inhabitants of the East, by means of arrows of different colours, to which custom one may notice a reference in the signification of a number of Arabic words, Hos. 4: 12. Ezek. 21:21, 22. (Comp. Jerome's Commentary on these passages.) Dreams also were considered in all places, as possessing an ominous significancy, Judg. 7: 13, 15. Deut. 13: 2, 3. Jer. 23: 32. Macrobius DE SoMNio ScipioNis, I. 3. Walerius Max. I. 7. W. Oracles were consulted previously to any transactions of great moment, especially before the commencement of warlike expeditions, but not without the presentation of gifts. Croesus, before engaging in war with Cyrus, interrogated almost all the Oracles, but received nothing but ambiguous responses, Herodot. I. 46–55. 90, 91. Is. 41:21–24. 44; 7. The Oracle of Beelzebub was in the city of Accaron. He, who consulted the Oracle, was first obliged to purify himself. He then offered up $ 404. STATE of Idol ATRY IN THE TIME or chaist. 515
sacrifices. In many temples, especially those of Esculapius, Isis, Osiris, and Horus, he slept on the skin of the victim through the night, with the expectation of obtaining some information by a dream respecting the means and medicines, by which his disease might be cured; or of hearing some response purporting to come from the Oracle, but produced in reality by the deceitful machination of the priests. Virgil, accordingly, uses the following expressions, "Pellibus incubuit stratis, somnosque petivit," Aeneid, VII. 59. comp. Plautus IN CURcul. Act. I. Sc. I. 2.61. The cures, that took place, were inscribed on tables for that purpose, and preserved in the temple, in order that the priests might produce them in confirmation and proof of the power of their idol deities, Diodorus Sic. I. 25. Is. 65:4. Amos 2:8.
§ 404. STATE of Idol.ATRY IN THE TIME of Christ.
In the time of Christ, many of the practices, marked for their enormity, and others equally distinguished for folly, which had prevailed in the worship of the heathen deities, had gone into general desuetude, although they were not wholly abolished. That the cruel enormities, to which we allude, were not wholly done away, is evident from the fact, that at Rome as late as the time of Nero or Vespasian, a Greek, a Grecian lady, and some others of the enemies of the Romans, were buried alive for the purpose of appeasing the anger of the gods. The victims, offered for this purpose, were called xw8aguara, Pliny XXVIII. 3. Indeed so late as the second century, human beings were sometimes immolated in this metropolis of the world, Eusebius, PRAEP. Evang. IV. 16.
The heathen Oracles had, in a measure, lost their authority, but not altogether, and the old deceptions were still practised in the temples of Esculapius, Isis, Osiris, and Horus, Strabo, p. 801. Omens and prodigies were also accounted of less weight than formerly, but they still continued to be carefully observed, and are frequently mentioned by Livy, Suetonius, Tacitus, and Dion Cassius. Manners and morals grew worse and worse. Deities increased in number, and the Apotheosis of vicious emperors was not unfrequent. About these things, the Epicurean sect cared nothing, the disciples of the Academy did not pretend to affirm much one way or the

Hidden Tomatoes
This morning I managed to move half of the tomato plants into the garden...poor little things, they look so pitiful when first moved.Last week, while pulling weeds, we noticed some of the weeds looked like tomatoes and upon closer inspection we discovered they were tomatoes! We have one very large tomato plant growing in the middle of the carrots;
Several plants growing in the onions;
Another very large tomato plant growing in between two lettuce plants;
A tomato plant growing beside the spinach;

Another Look in the Garden
I planted my green beans in between the potatoes soon after learning the mechanic wasn't going to get the tractor up and running as quickly as we needed.The broccoli I planted is really growing; this is my second time trying to grow it. The chickens ate the plants last year before they got very big so we never even had a chance to eat any.
One of the turnips was big enough to pick but it didn't taste like I remembered growing up; it taste similar to a radish but I'm not sure if I will eat anymore.

Coupon Tip
My notebook system is working well for my coupons with one small problem. The baseball card pages are sometimes too small for over sized coupons.To solve this problem I took a page protector and divided it into 3 sections and stitched the dividing lines on my sewing machine.

Ready for Jelly Season
Many years ago I stumbled upon a truly awesome bargain...Sure Jell for 50-cents a box. I bought all the store had and stored it in the fridge. Last year I used the last of my Sure Jell and was desperate to replace it with another bargain.My next bargain happened recently while I was shipping at Wal-Mart. I found double packs of Sure Jell marked on clearance for $2 a pack which comes out to $1 per box; not as good as the 50-cent a box but still a great deal.

Coupon Deal...Not a Deal
After reading about people saving money on eating out, by using restaurant (dot) com, I decided to give it a try. According to a "new to me blog" I could buy a $25 gift certificate for $10; and if I used a special promotional code I could get an additional $6 off; for a total of $4 out of pocket. I searched the restaurant (dot) com web site and learned that in my area there are not a lot of restaurant choices. However, there was a certificate available for a restaurant called Zoo-Kini's that I had heard of but never tried. According to the guide lines, set by the restaurant, I would need to spend a minimum of $35 before my coupon would work. I figured $35 less $25 would mean my meal would cost me $10 plus tip and the $4 I paid for my certificate (this is more than I normally pay for a meal for me and the kids but I thought it would be fun to give it a try).
My meal ended up costing me $19.05 plus the $4 certificate cost for a grand total of $23.05. Way too much money to pay for lunch for 3 people! (I know to some this would be normal but I only spend large amounts of money like this when company comes from out of town).
It turned out the restaurant added on an 18% tip! I do not ever leave an 18% tip! Ever!
Lesson learned, I do not think I will try this again; instead I will stick to the coupons available in the paper and in the phone book.
Are you wondering if we liked the food? It was "ok"...they were no where near as good as Chili's!

Hilling Potatoes
"Many hands make light work"....I heard this quote on Adventures in Odyssey and it is so true. We all went out to the garden last night and hilled the potatoes.Then we packed the plants with cotton burrs. The work was tiring but satisfying.

Garden Update
Currently our garden is doing well;Especially our potatoes; but sadly we have not been able to add to the garden.
We need the tractor to disk up a section of the winter wheat because it is too thick to do by hand. It's amazing how important a tractor is; when it's not working little gets done.

Vintage Lamp
For the past few years we have been making do with a cheap floor lamp while I have been searching for a vintage floor lamp in my price range.Our cheap lamp has been on its last leg for the past couple of months so I was excited to find a nice vintage lamp today at the thrift store.
The lamp was priced $10. Although a good price for a vintage lamp I wasn't sure I wanted to fork out the money. The lamp is nice but not everything I was looking for. I wanted a heavy base, the base was heavy; I wanted a sturdy pole; the pole was sturdy. I wanted a thick pole; the pole isn't as thick as I wanted; and I wanted a glass shade; the lamp came without a shade. While I was mulling over my requirements a lady at the thrift store came over and told me all the lamps were on sale for $5. My mind was made up!

Nicki Minaj has surprised her fans and the naysayers with a dis' track towards Remy Ma, the new single No Frauds is a Hot response to some.
But yet others believe is it really a diss track??
Seems to some it was a single she already had and just added some bars about Remy into it??
Then critics aren't really thrilled that she collaborated with two of the Hottest rappers in the game, did she just double team Remy for the Win??
Or was this a straight violation to a hip-hop battle between two females??
If you haven't heard the song she offered Remy Ma a bet for $500,000 if she releases a "HIT" song within 72 hours and books an interview without mentioning her name!!
Ironically Remy Ma's net worth is reportedly $500,000 so that was kind of a low blow. (If you didn't know)
Not sure if I agreed with Nicki bringing her Remy's son in the beef, you kind of don't play about peoples kids. That's a sensitive subject, but its hip-hop and it seems to be "No Rules" to this shit lately. Personally I don't think it was a diss record, I do think she responded the best way should could without tarnishing her pop/rap image. Nicki has always been a crossover rapper, little white kids love her and that's how she was really able to capitalize financially. The way Nicki just did it, her diss record will get radio play and at the end of the day, its all about that mighty dollar.
No Frauds", "Regret In Your Tears" and "Changed It" by Nicki Minaj all newly released singles on iTunes.
The Internet Speaks
So Nicki Minaj basically pulled a Meek Mill. Waited hella long to drop a lukewarm No Frauds diss,. No more queen talk girl.The jig is way up

Nicki Minaj needs to come back and try again. No one in that studio told her 'No Frauds' was trash? Drake..? Wayne? Nobody?
— Sj 🎮 (@WarnTheWorld) March 10, 2017
Lol so Nicki Minaj made a song called No Frauds. She has a created body, Drake uses ghostwriters and Wayne's a fake blood but aight #NoFraud
— DJBugsy215 (@DJBugsy215) March 10, 2017
No frauds is not a diss track. I'm sure she just felt the need to address the elephant in the room. Nicki Minaj is a queen. Don't debate me😊

Original Oyster House Sponsors Oyster Trailblazer Calendar for Oyster Restoration
With the historic launch of Alabama's first Oyster Shell Recycling Program, the timing was perfect for the 2017 Oyster Trailblazer Calendar to reiterate the importance of the oyster reef restoration in an educational calendar and color book for artists of all ages. The Oyster Trailblazer Calendar is a 101 on precious bivalves, sharing their abundant benefits that include cleaning our waters, protecting our shorelines from erosion and feeding us with some of the tastiest and most sought after cuisine while providing huge nutritional benefits. The Original Oyster House will donate 1,000 calendars on a first-come, first-serve basis to educators who can integrate information into their science program or to utilize them as rewards for environmental stewardship. The calendars will also be included in the Original Oyster House giving back program.
"Considering that 85% of the world's oyster reefs have been lost and that the northern Gulf of Mexico is one of the last places on earth where restoration efforts like the Mobile Bay Oyster Gardening Program and the Oyster Shell Recycling Program can be successful, we as a community must protect our oyster reef for generations to come," stated P.J. Waters, scientist and coordinator of the Oyster Trail. "Inspiring more oyster trailblazers is really what we hope the calendar can accomplish. We want kids especially to recognize the valuable treasures oysters bring to our ecosystem and through science, collaboration and gardening, how we can help restore the reef in our Gulf waters."
The oyster calendar, illustrated by local artist Alex VanArsdale, captures regional landscape, culture and folklore. The calendar also includes the Oyster Trail sculptures scattered along the Gulf Coast as well as Gulf Coast Ducks, Battleship Alabama and the Original Oyster House coupons. Each 4' fiberglass oyster is embellished by artists and tells important facts about oysters including their economic and environmental contributions.
After two successful sponsorships of Oyster Trail Sculptures, the Original Oyster House recognized the valuable work of Waters and Marie Dyson who both coordinate the Oyster Trail and the Mobile Oyster Gardening Program. The company wanted to do its part in helping educate the community about oyster reef restoration and was the first restaurant to sign up for the Oyster Shell Recycling Program, which launched in October of 2016 and will begin in Gulf Shores at the end of January.
The Original Oyster House (OOH) has two locations, Mobile: 3733 Battleship Parkway, on the Causeway and Gulf Shores: 701 Hwy 59 on the Original Oyster House Boardwalk. Both locations offer spectacular waterfront views and have been celebrated as the area's finest family restaurants for the past 30+ years.
The Mobile Gardening Program is a volunteer-based project which focuses on education, restoration/enhancement, and research by bringing the reef to the people. Now in its eleventh year of operation, Oyster Gardeners have produced nearly 500,000 oysters for restoration and enhancement efforts within Mobile Bay. For more information on the Oyster Trailblazer Calendar please call 251-490-5878 or visit www.originaloysterhouse.com/trailblazer.

- Flanders, northern Belgium, bans un-stunned halal and kosher slaughter
- Animals must now be stunned before their throats are cut in religious ritual
- Jewish and Muslim groups say it violates EU law of freedom of religion
Belgium's Muslim and Jewish communities have expressed their opposition to the law, saying halal and kosher requires the animal to be in 'perfect health' when its throat is cut – which would rule out stunning the animal first.
Some say that the ban is less about animal rights, and more about anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.
A Belgian region has banned halal and kosher slaughter unless the animal is stunned before it is killed, despite critics saying it violates freedom of religion.
The northern region of Flanders is the first in Belgium to implement the ban, followed by the southern region of Wallonia in September.
When proposed, the law was slammed as 'the greatest assault on Jewish religious rights since Nazi occupation' by the European Jewish Congress.
Both the Muslim halal and Jewish kosher rituals require that butchers slaughter the animal by slitting its throat and draining the blood.
Under the new law, animals will have to be stunned electrically before being killed, which most animal rights campaigners say is more humane than the halal and kosher rituals.
'It is impossible to know the true intentions of people,' Rabbi Yaakov David Schmahl, a rabbi in Antwerp, the capital of Flanders, told the New York Times.
'Unless people state clearly what they have in mind, but most anti-Semites don't do that.
'It definitely brings to mind similar situations before the Second World War, when these laws were introduced in Germany,' he said.
In January 2018, several religious organisations filed lawsuits to stop the new legislation, including one jointly filed by the Belgian Federation of Jewish Organizations, the European Jewish Congress and the World Jewish Congress.
The European Court of Human Rights has previously described kosher slaughter as 'an essential aspect of practice of the Jewish religion', their lawsuit notes
They hope the lawsuits will see the ban, which they argue violates freedom of religion under EU law, lifted later this year.
Several countries including Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland and New Zealand already prohibit un-stunned slaughter.

Students interested in a more humanities-oriented approach to the environment may pursue a B.A. or B.G.S. Degree, which has an Environment & Culture emphasis.
The majority of students in the College earn a B.A. degree. The B.A. is the traditional baccalaureate degree, structured to ensure both breadth and depth of knowledge by extensive general education degree requirements and approximately ¼ of total course work in the major. The B.A. requirements include exposure to world languages and cultures, ever more important as the world's global community becomes central in our lives.
The primary distinction between the B.A. and the B.G.S. degree is the study of a foreign language, which is required for the B.A. but not for the B.G.S. Other general education requirements are limited as well, allowing maximum flexibility in course selection. See the KU Core for full CLAS degree requirements.
The interdisciplinary nature of the Environmental Studies Program ensures a multitude of options for students. Explore our 10 Learning Pathways or view just one sample 4-year plan for students pursuing the B.A. in Environmental Studies.

The Chinese Language and the Book of Mormon
By Raymond C. Treat
In 1979 a book titled The Discovery of Genesis by C. H. Kong and Ethel R. Nelson was printed by Concordia Publishing House. In this book, some of the characters of the Chinese language are broken up into their original parts and the meanings of these parts are given. Many of the characters in Chinese especially those representing more abstract words, have been constructed using two or more simpler characters. For example, the Chinese character for airport is made up of two characters, one meaning airplane and the other meaning land. Rev. Kong and Dr. Nelson show that by knowing the meanings of the simpler characters or radicals that make up some of the more complex characters, we can demonstrate that many of the details of the Book of Genesis were known to those who first invented the Chinese language which is estimated to be about 2500 B.C. Before illustrating this in more detail, we shall first see how this book came to be written.
The Origin of the Book
Some 40 years ago, Rev. Kong, who is a native Chinese Christian minister, was distributing tracts of the story of creation in a mission hospital. Returning to visit one patient's room he was challenged by an educated Chinese lady who thought the Genesis story was a good fairy tale suitable for children "but hardly worth an adult's time!" Evolution was the adult and proper version of the story of creation.
At that time (1940's) Rev. Kong did not have the scientific evidence which is available today to meet this lady's challenge. This upset him and he struggled with the problem for days before the answer come to him. He recoiled a comment in a Mandarin textbook that had been used by a missionary. In a footnote, the Chinese character meaning boat (fig. 1) had been broken up into its original parts and their meanings given as "eight-mouth or person-vessel." A handwritten comment in the book referred to the fact that eight people in a vessel was a description of Noah's ark. It became obvious to Rev. Kang that unless this was a coincidence there should be other evidence from the Bible locked into the Chinese characters. Rev. Kong quickly found such evidence. This inspired him to begin a life-long study. He first published some of his findings in Hong Kong in 1950. This book come to the attention of Dr. Nelson who was a medical missionary in Bankok, Thailand. She found the information in the book to be very useful in her work with Thai and Chinese students.
fig. 1
After returning to the United States, the son of Dr. Nelson "just happened" to go to the same school as the grandson of Rev. Kong which enabled her to obtain his address. She wrote to him telling of her experience with his book and offering assistance to have the book reprinted for a larger audience. His reply included information about many additional characters that he had researched since publishing the book. This began the collaboration that has culminated in the book that is available to us today.

Aquila is an 85% owned subsidiary of Baosteel Resources, the commodities mining and trading arm of Baowu Group, a major Chinese state-owned enterprise and one of the largest steel producers in the world. With approximately 130 thousand employees globally Baowu Group has grown into China's most competitive steel producer with the highest level of modernisation. It has recently commissioned a new steel manufacturing complex in Zhanjiang, Guangdong province, which is expected to ramp up to approximately 10 million tonnes of annual production. Baowu are committed to taking Aquila's projects forward and recognise the potential to create leading resource projects in Australia.
The remaining 15% of shares in Aquila are held by Aurizon, which is Australia's largest rail freight business, transporting more than 250 million tonnes annually. Aurizon owns and operates one of the world's largest coal rail networks, linking more than 50 mines with three major ports in Queensland. It is also Australia's largest iron ore haulier outside the Pilbara.
Aquila (together with its joint venture partner in the API joint venture) are currently working on mining and logistics infrastructure solutions required to deliver the West Pilbara Iron Ore Project (WPIOP) on a cost-competitive basis. The Project is targeting projection of 40Mtpa of direct shipping iron ore from a new port at Anketell Point in Western Australia's Pilbara region.
Simultaneously, Aquila is also working, with its joint venture partner in the Bowen Central Coal Joint Venture, to develop the Eagle Downs Coking Coal Project, a proposed underground longwall coal mine south of Moranbah in Queensland's Bowen Basin. Eagle Downs is targeting production of 4.5Mtpa of coking coal.

Egypt's Brotherhood Names Ezzat as Interim Head
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The Muslim Brotherhood named an interim leader to head the group after its supreme guide was arrested Tuesday, the website of its political party said.
- August, 20, 2013 - 17:19
- Other Media
- Comments
"Mahmoud Ezzat, deputy leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, will assume the role of supreme guide of the group on a temporary basis after the security forces of the bloody military coup arrested supreme guide Mohamed Badie," the Freedom and Justice Party website said.
Badie was arrested as the army-installed government cracks down on the Brotherhood, from which ousted president Mohamed Mursi hails.
Dozens of its leaders and members have been rounded up, including Mursi, who has been detained at a secret location since he was pushed from office on July 3 after massive demonstrations against his rule.
He faces allegations related to his 2011 escape from prison as well as new accusations that he incited the death and torture of protesters in December 2012.

|"I didn't want to feel embarrassed by going to the local the pawn shop and having to go every month to pay my money. Basically, you took care of all that. When I needed the money the most, they loaned it to me and I gave them my bracelet as collateral. The best part is its FedEx one-day shipping with insurance."
– AW in Colorado
|"I have had a total of five experiences with you. Your assistance has been very private, personable and quick. I am a big fan of you and your organization. I would highly recommend it to anyone in my type of situation who had the need and was willing to let go of material items to maintain life and day to day needs."
– J.B. From Winston Salem, North Carolina
|"I want to thank you for making this ring selling experience super easy. I know I was a pain, emailing you every 15 minutes but you made everything work just as you promised. I'll definitely recommend you and use you again. The process is SO much easier than using a traditional pawn shop or trying to sell an item on Craigslist etc… Thanks again."

That Sweet Sound
What do U2's The Edge, Chet Atkins, and George Harrison have in common (other than incredible talent)? Gretsch Guitars, of course. For generations, guitarists have sought "that great Gretsch Sound" to enhance their playing and songwriting.
Reinventing the Twang
Gretsch was founded in 1883 by Friedrich Gretsch, a young German immigrant. His Brooklyn shop was making the earliest Gretsch guitars at a small scale. In 1895, at the age of 39, Gretsch died, and the successful company was taken over by his son Fred. By 1916, Fred had moved the company into a larger 10-story building in the Williamsburg district, becoming one of the most prominent American musical instrument makers of his day.
By the mid-1950s, after Fred's son Fred Jr. had taken the reins, the company introduced several distinctive models, including the 6120 "Nashville," the Duo Jet chambered solid body, the Country Club, and the White Falcon. These are the guitars that have stood the test of time and created the Gretsch legend.
With these innovative models in production, players began to flock to Gretsch. Chet Atkins was one of the pre-eminent guitarists of his day, and his endorsement gave the company a needed boost. Later, Duane Eddy joined the ranks with his "twangy" instrumental records, television appearances, and extensive touring. Years later, Elvis Presley would reach for a Gretsch when he took the stage.
Perhaps the most seminal moment in Gretsch history came when The Beatles' George Harrison played a Gretsch on The Ed Sullivan Show. In one brief moment, Gretsch was the solidified as the sound of the British Invasion! John Lennon joined the Gretsch family as did The Animals' Hilton Valentine and Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones. Beginning in 1966, Gretsch supplied the guitars and drums for The Monkees, Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground, The Stone Roses, Stephen Stills and Neil Young, and Pete Townshend of The Who, who used Gretsch guitars on the historic albums Who's Next and Quadrophenia.
Do you know the signature riff on "Won't Get Fooled Again" ? Yep, that's a Gretsch!
True Classics Never Die
PDuring the 1970s solidbody guitars rose to prominence in rock, and Gretsch faded. Players preferred Fender Stratocasters and Gibson Les Pauls. But in the 1980s, rockabilly revival player Brian Setzer and The Stray Cats rekindled interest in the Gretsch brand. Another revivalist is Jim Heath, aka Reverend Horton Heat, who has been an important Gretsch fan in modern times. Later, U2's The Edge used Gretsch guitars extensively live and in the studio. Many of U2's hits feature Gretsch guitars.
Today, Grestch remains a popular and highly respected guitar brand. The tone and playability of Gretsch guitars, their use of tremolos, their proprietary filtertron pickups, and unique body designs make for a one-of-a-kind and truly beautiful sound. Players around the world still seek that "great Gretsch sound" on stage and in the studio.
Maximizing Value for Your Gretsch Guitar
A great guitar is a piece of art, and like a piece of art, you want to be sure you take care of it. If you're a collector, you know that resell value is a huge factor in purchasing a Gretsch. If playing is your passion, sound, durability, and playability are going to be more important than resale value, sure, but there are many things you can do as a guitar owner that will do wonders for both. First, make sure your Gretsch is stored in a case and kept in a clean, dry environment. Keeping a guitar guitar in a moist area, such as a garage or basement, is sure to cause warping in the neck and body. A badly warped neck will render a guitar unplayable and ultimately worthless. Try to hold on to any original paperwork along with your original case. This will help our expert evaluators be sure that you get top dollar for your Gretsch.
Pawning Your Gretsch Guitar
Life happens, and when it does you may find yourself in a tough spot financially. At Lux Exchange we want to help you get the funds you need when you need them. Gretsch guitars can be a valuable commodity, and a great solution for your short term financial goals. After you fill out one of our simple applications, Lux Exchange will have your Gretsch shipped, fully insured to our secure facility where our expert evaluators will assess the complete value of your guitar. Once the value is established, your dedicated account representative will send out your final offer. Once you click to accept we can have you fully funded that same day.

"You can't just walk off like that! After accusing me of neglect and incompetence!"
Very quietly, Jason hissed, "There are two men out there whose lives are in danger. Who might die because the police screwed up. And while they get further and further away you are wasting time having an argument with us? You are angry because I have told you some home truths. I am livid because my friends are about to get murdered. While you do nothing. 'Uphold the right' it says on your badge. What are you going to do, Sergeant Kaminski? Are you going to do your job, or are you going to arrest us, waste time by taking us down to the station and filling out forms?" He paused to let that sink in. "Now, if you would be so good as to move your foot, we would like to go home."
For a long time, the sergeant glared at Jason and then sighed. "Don't get involved," he said. He was brave enough to meet Jason's implacable blue gaze. "Yeah, I know we screwed up. And I'm really sorry. But we're still better at it than you amateurs would be."
Keith could see that Jason was still angry, but he smiled at the policeman, a trifle tightly, but a smile all the same. "I'm sorry, sergeant, for losing my temper. We're very worried. I know it's not because of you personally. I apologise."
The policeman nodded. "We'll do our best. I promise."
Jason lifted his lips off his teeth. No one would call it a smile. "Just save our friends."

Some of the detail......................
I made a lap quilt for my Mum and she loved it, bless her. Mum died on 1 July this year.

Legacy of Ed Dobson: Pastor, teacher, writer
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WZZM) -- Ed Dobson, the former senior pastor at Calvary Church, died on Dec. 26. He had been living with A-L-S for several years, but his impact on the West Michigan community will live on.
Dobson was a teacher, a pastor, a writer and a mentor.
Marvin Williams is the lead pastor for Trinity Church and was mentored by Ed Dobson: "We would consider Ed Dobson a pioneer," Williams said. "He did things nobody else did. He took risks nobody else would take."
He was one of the first to introduce a contemporary Saturday night worship service to try to reach people that might not feel comfortable with a traditional Sunday morning service.

They provided a great service and I recommend them highly.
I needed to have an Oriental rug cleaned after a few years of sitting in my living room. It was dusty and few food and drink spills on it. Given the price I paid for it, I check around for a service with good reviews and settles on Green Choice. A plus is that they also give free pick up and delivery. I got the rug back in a week and it looks great. No dirt and no stains. Great job of Oriental rug cleaning Green Choice.

Canto al trabajo
¡Increíble anoche en Teatro Timanfaya!
I am lost for words. The audience were transfixed.
A man walks on in the darkness, sharpening a knife on a grindstone, squeak, squeak. He is joined by two women either side, washing clothes in a tub, slap, slap, a rhythm is built up, musicians join in, one of the women breaks into song.
Three incredible vocalists, guys on percussion, guy on double bass, guy on cello, another guy on keyboard.
Percussion three large drums, to which we were treated to amazing drumming session, seeds, banging in a tub and hollowed out tree trunk.
Music appears to be Arabic, slowly changes, at times jazz, at the end, African, if they could, the audience would have been on their feet dancing.
Based upon traditional work in the Canary Islands, and set to a back drop of ever changing Canarians carrying out their traditional work.
We were even treated to the whistle used to communicate, as travels further than voice in the mountains.
Congratulations to the artistic director, to the musicians, the sound engineer, the lighting engineer, and the theatre director Monica for hosting this amazing musical spectacular.
Pieles, a must see Wednesday night at Teatro Timanfaya.
Why do the hotels promote tourist crap as so-called entertainment, when there are cultural events worth attending?
Pieles is not available on DVD or youtube or vimeo, simply because it is a musical spectacular that must be seen live. There is the possibility the music may be uploaded to bandcamp and available on CD.
A neat touch, the musicians lined up to greet as people left the auditorium.

Inspector Chen novelsDecember 14, 2015
Inspector Chen, a character I had never heard of.
A series of novels, set in Shanghai, in the immediate aftermath of Tiananmen Square massacre.
A China that is changing, from the China of Chairman Mao, to the China we see of today.
Inspector Chen is an unusual character. He is a poet and there are many references to early Chinese poetry. He studied English at university, was hoping to go on to a Masters Degree, but is ordered to take up a post as a diplomat, until it is found his uncle had unrevolutionary tendencies. He is transferred to the Shanghai Police to write reports for the local Party Secretary. He asks to be assigned to police work, and is assigned to special cases, political cases, given his own apartment, this at a time when three generations of a family are all living in one apartment.
Each person encountered is politely addressed by their title, or as Comrade.
A wonderful insight into China.
Qiu Xiaolong (1953- ) was born Shanghai, China. Visiting the United States in 1988 to write a book about T S Eliot, but following the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, and a newspaper reporting on his previous fundraising efforts for Chinese students, he was forced to remain in America to avoid persecution by the Chinese Communist Party.
BBC Radio 4 has dramatised three of the Inspector Chen novels.
RingNovember 29, 2015
Ring, from the novel by Japanese writer Koji Suzuki.
Japanese psycho-thriller.
Dramatised by BBC Radio 4, broadcast Halloween, part of Fright Night.
BBC only keep on-line for 30 days.
The Blind ManNovember 26, 2015
Set in 1961, narrated by Alfred Hitchcock, The Blind Man, a Hitchcock movie Alfred Hitchcock never made.
World première, using the original script, dramatised for radio and broadcast BBC Radio 4 on Halloween.
A blind jazz pianist is given a set off eyes.
What if, a dramatic event, as the man dies, is seared into his retina? What if, the last sight was of the man who killed him?
BBC only retains for 30 days.
The Blind Man was intended to be the follow-up to North by Northwest.
The Blind Man is part of Unmade Movies, a season of radio adaptations of unproduced screenplays by the major authors of the 20th century – including Harold Pinter, Arthur Miller, Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock and Ernest Lehman.
Another unmade movie, was Orson Welles' Heart of Darkness. Excellent. I got half way through, now it has gone.
BBC must re-broadcast, but why, oh why, do they not retain on-line?
Undercover MumbaiAugust 25, 2015
Framed for the murder of a corrupt Police Commissioner, police inspector Alia Khan is released from prison when CCTV footage shows she did not kill the man.
On her release from jail, Alia Khan seeks a life of obscurity as a receptionist in a run down Mumbai hotel. But murder soon comes knocking at her door.
She receives flowers, with a card with a message with a woman with her hair standing on end. This leads Alia Khan to the roof of the hotel, a woman is found hanging upside down, she is dead, having been tortured. Alia Khan then realises the card shows the woman hanging upside down her hair is not standing on end.
Recorded on location in Mumbai. There is a lot of background noise. Listening with headphones is recommended.
Around the World in 80 DaysAugust 15, 2015
A theatrical performance of Around the World in 80 Days in the park with the bandstand, part of Celebrating Aldershot (not that there is anything to celebrate).
Hobo Co with their battered old Citroen van serving quality coffee.
Surprisingly the park was packed.
I only regret I was passing through, as it was a good performance.
There were programmes, but I neglected to pick one up, and therefore I regret to say I do not know who the performers were.
What Around the World in 80 Days shows, if you make the effort to put on quality, it will bring people in. A lesson the dysfunctional council has yet to learn.
I have been thinking add theatre to Staycation Live in Godalming. Around the World in 80 Days reinforces it would be a good idea.

Beech Bottom Dyke, is a large ditch running for almost a mile at the northern edge of St Albans, Hertfordshire flanked by banks on both sides. It is up to 30 m (98 ft) wide, and 10 m (33 ft) deep, and it can be followed for three quarters of a mile between the "Ancient Briton Crossroads" on the St Albans to Harpenden road until it is crossed by the Thameslink/Midland mainline railway at Sandridge. Beyond the railway embankment it continues, to finish just short of the St Albans to Sandridge road. This part is not accessible to the public.
It was constructed towards the end of the Iron Age,[1] probably between 5 and 40 AD. This, and other similar earthworks in the district, may have been built by the powerful Celtic tribe established in this area, the Catuvellauni, probably by King Cunobelinus to define areas of land around their tribal centre at Verlamion - the predecessor of the Roman city of Verulamium.
Beech Bottom Dyke is thought[by whom?] to have originally been part of a defensive system for a Belgaic settlement. Other defences are the Devil's Dyke and another ancient earthwork known as "The Slad". These may have created a defensive earthwork running from the River Lea to the River Ver enclosing a very large area.

Dental stains on the teeth in your smile can sometimes be unsightly. This might drive you to experiment with the whitening products available in stores. Unfortunately, many of these items lack the potency to restore the appearance of teeth suffering from significant dental stains.
To fully restore the white appearance of your teeth, you will likely need Dr. Chris Lindsey to administer a dental bleaching treatment. The professional tools and techniques at his disposal can safely remove dental stains that have set deep into your tooth enamel.
In the future you will need to take measures to prevent future surface stains from adhering to the faces of the teeth in your smile. This starts with modest lifestyle changes to limit your consumption of dark foods. You might also want to try drinking dark beverages and soft drinks through a straw.
Whitening strips can also be a convenient way to maintain a professionally whitened smile. Most come in the form of a clear sheet of plastic that has been treated with a topical form of hydrogen peroxide. While they are in your mouth, you will also need to avoid drinking, eating, and using tobacco.
Be sure to look for the American Dental Association's Seal of Acceptance before using a specific brand of whitening strips. This small logo can only be printed on the packaging of a product that has met the ADA's rigorous standards.
If you live in the Palo Alto, California, area and you are struggling to deal with significant dental stains on the teeth in your smile, you should call 650-327-3770 to set up a consultation at Chris E. Lindsey DDS.

This summery salad is hearty enough for a Meatless Friday, but can be "beefed" up with grilled chicken or steak on another week night. If shrimp are on sale, or easily available to you, you could add some grilled or pan-sauteed shrimp, or even some canned salmon on a Meatless Friday.
The pasta adds a really nice chew, and a little more oomph to this salad, which is why I think it even stands on its own with no meat or fish. Serve with a loaf of crusty bread and butter, and some fresh cherries or sliced watermelon.
The recipe is rather loosey-goosey. Add more or less of any ingredient to make the salad you like. You can even add other vegetables if that's the way you like your Caesar salad. I've included my recipe for mock Caesar dressing. It's lighter than most, delicious, and without raw egg, so you can feel safe about feeding it to your children. Or purchase your favorite bottled Caesar dressing.
Caesar Salad with Bowties
1 head Romaine lettuce, chopped
Caesar salad dressing (below, or your own recipe) — add as much as you like to coat your lettuce
1/3 lb. bowtie pasta,cooked to al dente, drained and cooled
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, rinsed and halved or left whole
bag of Pumpernickel or Caesar croutons
several tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
Toss all ingredients together in a large bowl. Top with additional parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
Mock Caesar Dressing
Even though this salad dressing doesn't contain the traditional raw egg for creaminess, the yogurt provides just the right amount along with a little bit of tang.
1/3 cup plain yogurt
2 T. fresh lemon juice
1 T. olive oil
2 t. red wine vinegar
2 t. Worcestershire sauce
1 t. anchovy paste
1 t. Dijon mustard
1/2 t. freshly ground pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
Mix ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine, or place them in a lidded jar and shake. Refrigerate until ready to use.

The musty, cobweb-covered antique people over at LoveAntiques.com have compiled a list of what they believe are the 25 most valuable VHS titles on the market, and we'll be impressed if you've heard of more than five of them.
Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks, a 1974 Italian horror, comes top of the the pops, and could apparently fetch up to £1,500 today. That's followed by the equally great-sounding The Beast in Heat (£1,200) and Betrayed (£1,100).
According to the experts, the most valuable VHS tapes are ones deemed as one-offs, released in small batches within the 'video nasties' category and on micro-budget labels like Knockout and Trytel. "What's not surprising is that the rarer more obscure titles are worth the most," said Will Thomas, LoveAntiques.com's MD. "Whilst the 'video nasties' of the 70s that dominate the top of the list aren't of public interest, perhaps, there are thousands of collectors in the world who would be willing to pay a pretty penny for it and thus, make it a wise investment like many antique and vintage products."
Here's the top 10 list:
- Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks (JVI) £1,500
- The Beast in Heat (JVI) £1,200
- Betrayed (Taboo) £1,100
- Celestine (GO) £1,100
- The Legend of Hillbilly John (Rainbow) £1,000
- Journey Into Beyond (Citycenta GO) £1,000
- Lemora, Lady Dracula (IFS) £900
- Don't Open the Window (Films of the 80s) £900
- Flesh Eaters (Knockout) £800
- Black Decameron (Intervision) £800
I'm just as lost as you are, but money's always interesting. You can find the other 15 here.

Despite broader economic jitters, IT sector continues to improve
Even if the broader U.S. figures suggests that economic uncertainty lingers, the IT sector continues to show signs of a turnaround both in the United States and in Europe.
According to data from The Global Technology Distribution Council (GTDC), U.S. hardware sales in the second quarter grew sequentially by 10 percent compared with the first quarter. On a year-over-year basis, 2Q revenue for IT hardware increased by 20 percent, the organization reports. The GTDC says sales in Europe were up by 15 percent year-over-year for the period.
The numbers are part of the NPD Group Distributor Track, which is based on sales-out information provided by GTDC members.
Here's some commentary from the press release provided by the council's CEO, Tim Curran:
"Among other key trends, we're seeing SMB and larger enterprises invest more heavily in networking, storage and other IT infrastructure to support current and future growth. The range of solutions and services provided by IT distributors is also increasingly diversified, including a growing number of products that would have sold exclusively through other channels in the past."

GLENN Hoddle's bid to get Wolves' Boxing Day clash with Reading brought forward to Christmas Eve was supported by Royals boss Steve Coppell.
But despite both managers being in agreement, the Football League rejected their request.
Hoddle has been a stern critic of the festive schedule meaning all clubs face four games in eight days, hence his efforts to improve the situation by bringing the Reading game forward.
And Coppell has revealed he too would have preferred opening their Christmas programme on Saturday rather than Monday.
"Glenn asked me if it would be OK, and I said it was common sense," said Coppell. "I believe it was stopped by the Football League, which I can ' t understand.
"Maybe all teams should have the freedom to move games as and when.
"At other times in the season you can do it. It wouldn't happen to racehorses, but footballers have to travel the country and are expected to entertain."
The Football League have so far declined to explain the reasons for the refusal.

After the merriment of yesterday's wedding today was a bit of a slow start. Poor Chris was feeling rather hungover so we stopped off at the hotel juice bar for a hangover 'special'. Naturally I had to take a picture of him chugging it back, ha ha!
I had already been a dutiful wife and made a Starbucks breakfast run so we headed straight to the Mall as we had some last minute gifts to pick up.
Chris was struggling by this point so we spent the rest of the day by the pool. Unfortunately this meant I didn't get to visit the 'Bodies' exhibition at Luxor as planned. Yup I'm still a bit gutted by this.
Chris you owe me one!
In the evening we headed to The Bellagio as we were joining the others to watch the Cirque Du Soleil show 'O'.
What can I say about this? Visually it was pretty amazing, and I did really enjoyed it. Story wise though I can't work out if there was one. I wasn't the only one either, we left the arena all exclaiming "What just happened?". I think that's part of the beauty of a Cirque show though. It doesn't have to make sense, as the talent of the performers speak for itself.
As we were at the Bellagio this meant we had time to watch the dancing fountains. Be prepared to get a bit wet, the fountains are very powerful and create a spray.
Whislt at the Belagio we also visited the spectacular fall/Halloween garden. I love how they fully embrace autumn in America. Rather than be bummed about the end of summer, autumn and winter is embraced with full on celebration.
In our wisdom we decided it was a good idea to attempt walking to Freemont street. Umm yes we gave up when we had reached as far as The Wynn Hotel. Whilst everything looks close regret her in vegas in reality it's not as everything is so big. You have to give in and take a can at some point.
It wasn't a total loss though as we did get to see loads of the other Hotels along the strip. When they are it up at night the sight is pretty spectacular.
After a cheeky last minute gamble it was time to head back to our hotel room to pack for our early morning flight home.
So that wraps up our trip to Vegas, we had a brilliant time and felt we would have loved to stay a while longer. There is so much to see and do in Vegas one trip is not enough. I would love to go back one day. However there are loads of other places I want to travel to first. Hopefully it will happen one day.
Oh I forgot to mention yesterday that we had out big 'Vegas' win. Yup we win $180 on the slots, go us!

I turned my back on cooking ever since I discovered that I bake better than I cook. I eat simply at home, and leave my more elaborate main courses to the chefs at restaurants. I expend all my culinary energy on satisfying my maniacal dessert cravings.
So it strikes me as bizarre that I find myself cooking this Sunday morning. What spurred this cooking spree was a billboard advertising Kenny Roger's ribs. It caught my eye as my Bin and I were driving home after a morning of biking in Sta. Rosa. "Man, ribs sound good right about now," I murmur.
But I didn't want just any ribs "" I wanted thick ribs with meat practically falling off the bone. I wanted to eat with my hands and re-connect with my feral side. Most of all, I didn't want to have to pay a crapload of money for bony ribs that are usually served at Kenny Roger's, Outback, and their ilk. I know, I know, they've got to make a profit, but still…
So I decided to make the ribs myself. And it was easy.
I bought two kilos of spare ribs and marinated them in my homemade bbq sauce. Let me tell you about my bbq sauce: it calls for about 12 ingredients which sounds like a lot but comes together in a flash. This sauce is so red, it's almost vermilion, thick and smooth as velvet, balancing well between tangy and sweet. Personally, I'm quite proud of it.
I marinated the ribs in half of the bbq sauce overnight, and then I cooked down the remainder to pass around at the table. Because I don't know how to grill, (although I own quite a nice griller), I baked the ribs for 2½ hours. Succulence. I paired the ribs with french fries, beans, and because I so love my carbs, a baked potato. My Bin and I were silent, lost in wondrous thoughts of bovine love. Our fingers and mouths are stained and we're loving it.
Dessert is something I quickly pull together while the ribs are in the oven. I had various kinds of bread in the fridge so it was only natural that I make bread pudding. The one that I make is a combination of custard and softness. I'm not a fan of bread puddings that are chilled and slice like a cake. It's called "˜pudding' for a reason. I whip up some crème anglaise (rich custard sauce) to top the dessert, which I feel makes bread pudding even better than it is.
Ah, craving accomplished. Not bad for a baker who's also a reluctant cook.
