[Editors Note: As previously mentioned, we're excited to announce the launch of the Forums. Hopefully you find the functionality easy to navigate and post. Just like the rest of our site, these forums are for you – runners, triathletes, cyclists, and others in and around central Texas. Enjoy! – www.texasrunningpost.com/forums]
One of the cardinal rules of high-level college and professional coaching is "Thou Shall Not Diss A Fellow Coach." Especially one (s) you replace. Look no further than classy Charlie Strong, who since he took over for Mack Brown, hasn't publicly uttered a word of criticism of Brown. Strong has gone out of his way to be gracious in his praise of Brown. Whether they mean it or not, coaches just don't speak ill of their brethren.
Evidently, second-year UT distance and cross-country coach Brad Herbster never got the memo.
In Thursday's Austin American-Statesman, Ryan Autullo wrote a preview of the upcoming Longhorn cross-country season. In the article, Autullo mentions that former All-Stater Sandie Raines, who is from Kingwood, is eligible to compete this season after transferring to Texas from Arkansas.
Autullo quotes Herbster: "I saw that she left Texas, and I thought how in the world could she get out of Texas? She got out because they never called her. She always liked Austin, always liked Texas, but she didn't want to go to a program that wasn't doing anything. Marielle {Hall} kind of paved the way."
In that one blast, Herbster denigrated all the work that his predecessors at UT–Steve Sisson and John Hayes—had done. Meanwhile, Herbster also found a way to take credit for the undeniably great season that Marielle Hall had (Big 12 and regional winner in cross-country, NCAA champ in the 5000) in 2013-14.
I don't know anything about the recruiting process that took place of Raines (or whether she was even recruited by Texas), but I do know that schools miss out on top-flight prospects all the time for a variety of reasons (see Brown, Mack on misses such as RG111, Johnny Football, Matthew Stafford, Andrew Luck, ad nauseam). It happens.
I also know that the Texas distance programs have been hamstrung in recent years by a lack of scholarships as the school focused on sprinters and throwers. Most high-level track programs with any NCAA hopes prefer to put most of their scholarship money into throwers and sprinters who can double and triple in meets and score many more points than distance runners who are also much more injury-prone.
But what really chaps me is Herbster's assertion that the UT distance programs weren't "doing anything." Hayes had done a terrific job of recruiting such studs as Craig Lutz, Ryan Dohner and Mark Pinales, while Sisson had landed Hall from New Jersey and coached her for three years into national prominence.
Both programs were on the upswing when new UT head coach Mario Sategna decided to hire Herbster from Clemson to replace Hayes and Sisson. In Herbster's first year, Lutz and Dohner ran well (both finished in the top 15 in the NCAA cross-country champs and the UT men placed 14th), while Hall had the greatest season of any UT woman distance runner and is a solid candidate for the World Champs team next year.
Certainly, Herbster deserves some of the credit for not messing up what Sisson and Hayes started. But he should give credit where credit is due, namely to Hayes and Sisson who built and recruited those teams. (Herbster didn't get hired until mid-July last year and inherited ready-made teams.)
Since his hiring, Herbster has had plenty of time to recruit his own distance crew. Several freshman are listed on both the men's and women's cross-country teams for this year, but none are are high-profile recruits who are expected to make much of an impact with the possible exception of Raines who will be a sophomore.
Of the '14 team, Herbster said: "I think by mid-October we'll shock some people. People will say Texas is all of sudden pretty good, pretty quick with no-name people."
Hmm. That's usually coach talk for the cupboards are bare, but that just isn't the case. Herbster has senior leadership in Lutz, Dohner and Mark Pinales on the men's side and has Raines to lead the women.
Herbster is often hanging around The Rock on Sunday mornings, waiting for his runners to finish up long runs and whenever I've spoken to him, seems like a friendly, nice guy. Let's hope he coaches better than he speaks.
Just repeat after me: Never speak ill of the dead…or fired coaches you replace.
O More UT: The men's team is ranked 23rd in the preseason poll, while the women are unranked. The top five men's teams are Colorado, Stanford, Northern Arizona, Oregon (natch) and Oklahoma State.
O If you're planning a long run this weekend completely around the Lady Bird Lake/Butler Trail, you'll need to detour (or stealth run) across the Longhorn Dam at the eastern end of the trail. Crews are doing maintenance work on the dam's gates and the trail at that point (a sidewalk) is closed until September 15th. Pleasant Valley Road is still open to traffic (though subject to periodic closures) so if you run early enough, you can probably still get across the dam on the road.
O An increasingly popular adventure run among Texas runners has been running the Grand Canyon trail from the south to the north rim or trying to do the rim-to-rim-rim (south to north, back to the south) in a single day. There's a group I know of from Austin going in October for a rim to rim, but the National Park Service has always frowned on this because of overuse and crowding on the trails. The Grand Canyon National Park is now instituting a permit system as of September 15th that will require groups of hikers and runners to get special use permits. Individual runners and hikers can still use the trails without a permit (for the time being). The permits are only required for the inner canyon—close to the Colorado which all rim to rim hikers and runners must cross. The National Park Service still doesn't allow any races in the Grand Canyon even though ad hoc rim-to-rim races have been contested for years.
O The first race in the 2014-15 Austin Fit Magazine Distance Challenge is rapidly approaching. The Run Free Texas '80s 8-K (just short of five miles) on September 14th will serve as the kickoff race this year. This second-year race in Cedar Park will start and finish just outside beautiful Gupton Stadium and the course has recently been certified by Danny Spoonts.
O The Leander/Cedar Park area is becoming an increasingly popular area for races. In addition to the 8-K, it will host the Rogue Distance Festival (30-K and half marathon) again (January 11) as well as the 19th annual Cedar Park 5-Miler (November 2) and the 5th annual Rogue Rescue Run 5-K (September 28).
O Leonel Manzano is back in Europe. After winning an 800 meters last Thursday night in 1:46.60, he has spent the entire week with his coach John Hayes at a training camp in France. Leo The Lion has five more meets scheduled in the second half of his European tour.
O Kyle Merber, who ran for UT last year as a grad student (from Columbia), is taking a break from racing the mile. He's headed to New Zealand for a vacation and then will finish his competitive season at the 5th Avenue Mile in New York.
O TriggerPoint Performance Therapy, the Austin-based company which makes foam rollers, is getting ready to mark the one million units mark for sales of its GRID foam roller. Launched in 2009, the GRID foam roller has become de rigueur for runners and all sorts of athletes for training and recovery. Says Cassidy Phillips of Austin who founded the company, "It has become a global phenomenon and we are humbled by the response and success the GRID has experienced." To celebrate the millionth sale, TriggerPoint will reward whoever buys it with a one-of-a-kind golden colored GRID signed by Cassidy. Congrats!
O Once again, a contingent from Rogue will head to Northern California for the Tahoe Triple (lucky them). The Tahoe Triple (September 12-14) consists of a marathon a day around Tahoe. Carolyn Mangold, Tory Nickell, Steven Hamilton, Natasha MacNevin and Caitlin Rogozinski are running the three consecutive marathons, while Angela McKnight, Jenny Bowden and Denise Ewers will run three straight half marathons. Michael Wedel is upping the ante. He won last year's Triple, but this time he's doing the Super Ultra which consists of a marathon on each of the first two days, followed by 78 miles around the lake on the final day. Good luck with that.
O What I'm listening to this morning: "Mountain Tracks, Volume 3" by Yonder Mountain String Band. Love these guys even though founder Jeff Austin has left this terrific bluegrass band from Colorado.

US to ban Chinese surveillance giant Hikvision over 'Uighur abuses'
The move – over alleged human rights abuses – would make it harder for Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology and Zhejiang Dahua Technology to access the US market and suppliers, Bloomberg News cited people familiar with the matter as saying.
The action, first reported by The New York Times, would also likely exacerbate the US' worsening row with Beijing after President Donald Trump stopped US firms from selling to Huawei and barred it from the US market. Huawei has been given a 90-day reprieve.
Hikvision is the world's largest seller of surveillance equipment, employing 34,000 people worldwide. It has grown quickly as Beijing has expanded surveillance on its population and especially in its restive northwestern Xinjiang region.
The Uighurs make up almost half of the region's 23-million-strong population and have been targeted with pervasive surveillance from cameras like those made by Hikvision, among other draconian security measures, following a flare-up in violence in 2014.
Chinese authorities have placed an estimated one million mostly Muslim ethnic minorities including Uighurs in internment camps, which Chinese authorities downplay as "vocational education centres".
Last year US lawmakers wrote to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin calling for sanctions on Chinese officials in charge of the region and on the two surveillance equipment manufacturers supplying equipment, Hikvision and Dahua.
"We have taken note of The New York Times' report this morning and hope our company receives fair and just treatment," said Hikvision board secretary Huang Fanghong.
"Hikvision is a product supplier, we have not done anything improper in Xinjiang, our company has not in the past, does not right now, and will not in the future take any business that has violating human rights as a requirement," Huang said on her WeChat social media account.
Asked about the reports, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang told reporters: "We have repeatedly stated China's opposition to the US' abuse of state power to wilfully smear and suppress enterprises of other countries, including Chinese enterprises."
Hikvision's controlling shareholder is state-owned China Electronics Technology HIK Group.
As many as five Chinese surveillance hardware makers, including Hikvision and Dahua, could be added to the US Commerce Department entity list, Bloomberg News said.
The Commerce Department action against Huawei threatens to bar the company from using Google's Android software for its smartphones, remove US chips from its handset and telecoms gear, and could slow down the rollout of next generation 5G networks in parts of the world.

Material Conference 2017: Solidwool - A new way of working with wool
Hannah and Justin Floyd had an idea. What if they could find a new way of working with wool and so perhaps bring something back to their small market town, a once thriving part of the woollen industry?
They learnt that the coarse wool from hill-farmed, upland sheep had dramatically lost its value in recent years. So they started to play. To turn the way wool is worked on its head. The end result is Solidwool — a strong, beautiful and unique composite material. Think fibreglass, but with wool.
They know better than anyone else, literally down to the micron scale about wool. That deep understanding is what we're going to talk about in relation to knowing your material and its affordances.

Material Conference 2017: Poco Apollo - Halldór Eldjárn
Halldór Eldjárn is a musician & audio developer who tells us a little story about how he took 15,000 public domain photos from NASA's Apollo Space Mission and created a unique soundscape for every single one. Hint: They were programatically generated!
Halldór created the piece to open up this incredible photo library. The mood in the pictures is somewhat unusual as some of them quite casual unlike the most famous and polished pictures we are so used to seeing, from these missions. Some are even quite bad, but still they are taken during one of the most incredible journeys mankind has embarked upon and thus become mysterious and exciting. The web app selects pictures at random and the browser then starts playing the soundtrack for that picture.
When dealing with the Web, we tend to think solely about the screen and visual experience, but in this mini-talk we'll explore the material of sound and what that means.

Material Conference 2017 - Stories and the Web - Tristan Ferne
Stories have form and structure. Beginnings, middles and endings. People, places and things. Setbacks, climaxes and conflict. And the web has form and structure. Sites, pages & links. Interactivity, personalisation and adaptation.
He'll look at how stories and the web can interconnect and overlap in forms and structure, showing examples of some of the new ways that people are telling stories using the web. From choosing your level of detail, varying the length, personalising a story and interacting with explanations, to the latest BBC experiments with voice-controlled stories and atomised news.
And he'll explain how the BBC is experimenting with atomising media and deconstructing stories into fundamental, structured building blocks that we can present in new and powerful ways; building responsive stories for the web.

I'm on Day 21 of this challenge, and I haven't missed a single day! This is the first time I've ever been able to stick to a workout challenge for more than 5 days, and I want to thank you, Cassey. You are inspirational and so fun and you understand beginners better than any other fitness instructor out there. Thank you thank you THANK YOU for this challenge, and never stop!!!
6. Never do the same arm workout for more than 2 weeks. The female body is a highly adaptable organism. If you do the same workout over and over again, your results will come to a screeching halt. Always have a new workout ready to go every 2 weeks. If you are a beginner, you have a little more wiggle room here. If you are advanced, you have to change your workout even more frequently! Note: doing a different workout every time you walk into the gym will give you the fastest results.
And research published in November 2017 in the journal NeuroImage showed that aerobic exercise may be helpful in improving memory function and maintaining brain health as we age. The study, led by researchers at Australia's National Institute of Complementary Medicine at Western Sydney University, looked at brain scans of 737 people ranging in ages from 26 to 76. The group included a mix of healthy adults, people with Alzheimer's and other cognitive impairments, and people with a clinical diagnosis of mental illness, including depression and schizophrenia. The researchers found that exercises, like riding a stationary bike, running on a treadmill, or walking, slowed down the deterioration of brain size and slowed the effect of age on brain health.
Use small weights to do weighted punches. Pick up a small, 1 or 2 pound weight in each hand and stand with your feet hip-width apart. Bring your hands up in front of your face with your palms facing each other. Punch your right fist forward without locking your arm, then quickly pull it back as you shoot your left fist upward. Alternate the exercise this way for 60 seconds, as fast as you can.[5]
Exercise has long been correlated with a longer life, but it's only recently started to become clear why this might be. Studies, like a new one in the journal Preventive Medicine which found that exercise is linked to longer caps at the ends of chromosomes, have helped flesh this out a bit more. These caps, called telomeres, naturally shorten as we age, with each cell division. People who live a long time have telomeres that are in better shape than those who don't—but there's a lot we can do to affect the rate at which they shorten over the years. The team behind the new study looked at data from CDC's National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, and found that for people who exercised regularly, their telomeres were 140 base pairs longer on average than sedentary people's. Which correlates to being years "younger" than their sedentary peers.
Most people find they can't do a full minute of press-ups without their muscles giving in to begin with. If your muscles fail on you, don't think of it as a point of no return. Instead, take a moment to rest and continue with the exercise for as long as possible, just as you did the abdominal plank. Bit by bit, you'll find your press-up stamina improving.
If you're irritated by sagging upper arms, you're not alone! As universal as complaints about thigh fat and belly bulge are, the same can be said for complaints about arm fat. If you've dealt with excess arm fat before, you know how frustrating it can be to try on so many dresses and tops that are otherwise perfect, except that they don't have sleeves and you just want to hide your arms! And you are acutely aware of how embarrassing it is that you don't want to clap in public or wave your arms due to that all-too-familiar jiggle effect. So it's time to free yourself from saggy, waving upper arms and tone those babies up. Here's our comprehensive guide on how to lose arm fat. There's no magic trick, but if you do this right, you can lose the higgle and uncover strong, toned arms.
In fact, so many women hate their upper arms that they're actually seeking surgery to get rid of it. Nearly 25,000 women received upper arm lifts—a cosmetic surgery procedure that reduces drooping skin and tightens the underlying tissue to give the arm more definition—in 2016. That number is up 4,959 percent since 2000, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Hold that item with both your hands and lift it over your head. Your arms should be straight, as this is your starting position. Now lower the weight, by taking it behind your back. You need to reach it as low as you can. Make sure that you don't hurt yourself. Bring up the weight above your head, again. The slower you move your arms, the more toned your arms will get. It is important to keep your upper arms close to your head and ears. Also try to practice this exercise in front of the mirror if you can, it will help you improve the style. You need to do 3 sets of 20 reps, which means you will move the item 60 items above your head. After every set you can take a rest of one minute. Increasing the weight or time after every week will help you to tone your muscles, effectively.
When she's working out sans equipment, Marraccini's favorite exercises are all things core-related. "A strong core never goes out of style," says Marraccini. This makes sense, considering that having a strong and stable core is essential for both everyday movements as well as exercising. While regular crunches really only target the upper portion of your abdominals, runner's crunches work your entire core as you sit all the way up, including your obliques, lower back, hip flexor muscles, and rectus abdominis (which is what you probably think of when you think "six-pack" muscles).
Use small weights to do weighted punches. Pick up a small, 1 or 2 pound weight in each hand and stand with your feet hip-width apart. Bring your hands up in front of your face with your palms facing each other. Punch your right fist forward without locking your arm, then quickly pull it back as you shoot your left fist upward. Alternate the exercise this way for 60 seconds, as fast as you can.[5]
Whether it's a pick-up game of soccer, a group class at the gym, or just a run with a friend, exercise rarely happens in a bubble. And that's good news for all of us. Studies show that most people perform better on aerobic tests when paired up with a workout buddy Aerobic exercise is promoted when individual performance affects the group: a test of the Kohler motivation gain effect. Irwin, B.C., Scorniaenchi, J., Kerr, N.L. et al. Kinesiology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI. Annals of Behavioral Medicine 2012;44(2):151-9..

It zaps anxiety. Ever notice that you can start a workout feeling stressed and anxious, and end it feeling good? It isn't in your head. Or, actually, it is: According to a new study from Princeton University, exercise appears to change the chemistry of the brain by causing the release of GABA, a neurotransmitter that helps quiet brain activity and minimize anxiety. The study found that people who ran regularly had a low reaction to stressful situations, even if they hadn't run in more than 24 hours.
It is very difficult to engage in exercise when other health concerns are at play. If exercise is very difficult with your present state, focus on eating right. Most weight loss specialists agree that weight loss has more to do with diet (up to 95% diet) versus exercise. Take a look at this article for advice: http://www.wikihow.com/Develop-Healthy-Eating-Habits
It decreases PMS. Women often report feeling irritable and bloated before their periods, but exercise appears to minimize these conditions. In a survey of nearly 2,000 New Zealand women, researchers found that those who exercised, rested and wrote in a journal about their symptoms fared better than those who took specific vitamins or followed other DIY advice.
Carbs and fats are essential for our body to function properly. Eat foods that are rich in good fats and carbs. Foods like brown rice, oats, wheat bread, sweet potatoes, multigrain cereal, dark chocolate, avocado, whole egg, chia seeds, nuts, fatty fish, rice bran oil, etc. are highly nutritious and keep a lot of health problems at bay. Avoid fried foods, potato wafers, cream cheese, donuts, cakes, flour products, polished rice, cakes, pastries, milk chocolate, etc. Even if you choose to eat them, make sure to workout to burn the extra kilos. Also, eat good fats and carbs in measured amounts.
And perhaps one of the best new findings about exercise — especially if you, like many people, struggle to find the time to fit it into a busy day — is that all those benefits of physical activity can be had even if you only squeeze in a few minutes of exercise a day. While doctors used to think that we needed to engage in 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day, new research is finding that we can see benefits with shorter bursts of physical activity. "As little as 15 minutes a day of high-intensity activity that leaves you breathless, like swimming, can kick start your metabolic rate and reduce body fat and increase muscle mass," says Dr. Berger.
HOW TO DO IT: Place your left foot on a stable low box or step (even a sturdy phone book will work). Hold your right arm forward. Quickly alternate which foot is on the box and which is on the ground from side to side. Stay on the balls of your feet throughout the movement. Perform the move at a slower, more controlled tempo at first, focusing on nice, clean exchanges of your hands and feet, and gradually increase your speed over time.
Millions of women struggle to lose fat from their arms these days. Are you in a war with your flabby arms too? Fat arms are caused by sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy food habits, the body's metabolic rate, medical issues, or even your genes. To address this problem you have to work extra hard on your triceps and biceps and lose overall weight from your body to get the desired result.

Some call it "flab", others call it "sag", or even "jiggle." Whatever it is that you call the excess fat on your arms, know that you're not alone. A lot of us have found ourselves in the dilemma, wondering how to lose arm fat and why it's even there in the first place. Is it something I ate? Is it something I did or didn't do? What shirt can I wear to hide to cover those parts?
Get 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Sleep is a crucial component of fat loss and muscle building, which happens most effectively when your energy consumption is lowered. Aim to get between 7-9 hours of sleep each night by establishing a sleep routine to follow, including a 60-90 minute period to wind down before bed. During this time, shut off your phone and do something relaxing, like reading or meditation.[11]

She is the co-founder of Formation Strength, an online women's training group that serves the LGBTQ community and allies by providing a space for individuals to uncover and enhance their highest potential through fitness, nutrition, and mindset.
What we eat can also play a part in the extent of the jiggle so eating a good, healthy balanced diet as well as keeping well hydrated can put you on the right track. Resistance exercises are the most effective way to blast that underarm fat as well as strengthen, shape and tone your muscles. You can always go down to the gym and work up a sweat but who has time for that? If you want a convenient and quick alternative then you can easily manage an effective routine in the comfort of your own home. All you need is a set of dumbbells and you can start toning up those bingo wings with these 10 easy workouts.
From Atkins to Paleo to eating gluten-free despite not being one of the rare few people afflicted with celiac disease, fad diets are everywhere. It drives me crazy because I believe these diets do more harm than good. Your body is made up of a variety of vitamins, nutrients, and minerals, and losing weight healthily isn't possible when you fill your body with unnecessary synthetic plastics, sugars, and powders. There's no easy button in life.
Exercise improves self-confidence. One of the reasons many individuals do not attempt an exercise program is because they feel they are not very athletic or coordinated. Once an exercise program is begun, however, these same individuals discover that they are indeed able to work out successfully: gaining muscle tone and strength, improving their stamina, and improving how they feel emotionally. These revelations are very empowering. It is this increased sense of self confidence and improved sense of well-being that eventually becomes the sustaining force that helps people to continue their exercise program.
Another study this month, from Mayo Clinic, found that exercise in older people who were formerly sedentary had at least as strong an impact as in it did in young people—at least in the kinds of genes that were expressed. The study also found that these changes were much more robust in response to interval training than to weight lifting or moderate exercise. Which may mean that for some things, the type of exercise we chose matters.
A new study from her lab shows that a 20-minute moderate workout has measurable effects on the immune system: Participants were asked to walk or jog on a treadmill, depending on their fitness level. They measured levels of TNF, an inflammatory marker, before and after the exercise, and found that there was a 5% reduction in the number of immune cells that produced the marker.

The country is potentially home to some of the world's oldest commercial vineyards
You will come across the term Vieilles Vignes, Viñas Viejas or Alte Reben on wine labels. It simply means 'old vines', although it has no legally accepted definition. The theory is that older vines produce smaller yields of high-quality grapes and therefore the wine will taste much better. At first glance finding older vines might seem easier in Europe with its long history with wine going back millennia. Yet some New World countries, including Australia, South Africa and Argentina can boast of very old vines going back a century or more. Most growers argue that at somewhere between 10 and 30 years old, a vine produces its best grapes in reasonable quantity, but many vines are much older.
Most of Europe's indigenous vines were wiped out in the late 19th century by Phylloxera. Since then, virtually every vine has been grafted onto Phylloxera resistant American rootstocks, arguably changing the nature of the wine, although this can be difficult to prove for obvious reasons. Pockets remain untouched in Europe, usually in sandy soils, and also in South Australia and Chile.
Chile has always offered value for money. Over the last five years, the country has joined the global movement towards less alcoholic and less oaky wines. At the same time, groups of independent spirits have uncovered, or rediscovered old ungrafted, dry-farmed vineyards that have a history going back centuries. Once sneered at by the wine world, grape varieties such as Carignan, Cinsault, País and Muscat are making a real comeback.
It is believed that Itata and Bío-Bío, in the far south of vine growing country, is where the Conquistadores planted the first vines in Chile, back in the 1550s. By the mid 20th century, these regions were used only for cheap bulk wine production. In the 1980s and 1990s they were shunned in preference to the high-yielding, trained, irrigated vineyards further north, handily situated close to Santiago.
Incredibly, some of the vines here may be 200 years old, potentially making these the oldest commercial vineyards in the world, although Slovenia, Georgia, and the Barossa in South Australia might disagree. Instead of the dense, tightly trained rows of vines that can be farmed and harvested mechanically, most vines are widely spaced and keep low on the ground. Yields are small and everything must be done by hand. Sadly most of the wines are expensive. They taste very different too. The best are exquisite. Many have an underlying earthiness, a refreshing acidity (both Itata and Bío-Bío qualify as cool climate) and delicate sweet/sour fruits.
Other offbeat Chilean wines to try include the Trisquel Semillon (€16.99, arriving in SuperValu and Centra later this month), the superb de Martino Las Cruces Malbec Carmenére (€40, O'Briens) and the Montes Outer Limits Cinsault (€24.99, independents).
Colinas del Itata Old Vines Muscat 2017, Itata
Inviting delicate perfumed floral aromas; zesty orange peel and apricot fruits, with a lovely spicy finish. A delightful wine and outstanding value for money. As an aperitif or with lightly spicy prawn or chicken Thai curries.
Stockists: Marks & Spencer
Volcanic País 2015, Vinateros Bravos, Itata
Subtle herby redcurrant and red cherry fruits with a lovely underlying earthiness. With grilled gourmet sausages and lentils.

Stockists: 64 Wine, Glasthule, 64wine.ie; Green Man Wines, Terenure, greenmanwines.ie
De Martino Viejas Tinajas Cinsault 2015, Itata Guarilihue Vineyard
Fermented in 100 year-old amphoras, this is one of the nicest wines I have tasted over the last 12 months. Entrancing complex, concentrated elegant piquant, dark cherries and good refreshing acidity. I drank it over two days, with grilled sole and then pork chops. The little brother, the De Martino Gallardía Cinsault 2017 (€19.95), is pretty good too.

The Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah
1 This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham:
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 Judah the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram, 4 Ram the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah's wife, 7 Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, Abijah the father of Asa, 8 Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Jehoram, Jehoram the father of Uzziah, 9 Uzziah the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 10 Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, Amon the father of Josiah, 11 and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
12 After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, 13 Zerubbabel the father of Abihud, Abihud the father of Eliakim, Eliakim the father of Azor, 14 Azor the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Akim, Akim the father of Elihud, 15 Elihud the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah.
17 Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Messiah.
Joseph Accepts Jesus as His Son
18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet e did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means "God with us").
24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
The Magi Visit the Messiah
2 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him."
3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 When he had called together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. 5 "In Bethlehem in Judea," they replied, "for this is what the prophet has written:
6 "'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.'"
7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him."
9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
The Escape to Egypt
13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him."
14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: "Out of Egypt I called my son."
16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. 17 Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
18 "A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more."
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him." Matthew 2:1–2
For hundreds of years, God's people had been enslaved by different nations. After suffering constantly, they were tired, frustrated, and worn out. They begged God to send them a deliverer. They longed for someone to rescue them.
When Jesus was born, the people thought he was the answer to their prayers. They became excited for their freedom from slavery. But they thought Jesus would rescue them by force, military might, or power. They weren't expecting him to die humbly on a cross.
The deliverance Jesus brought wasn't from slavery to other nations. Jesus offered freedom from sin, Satan, and death.
Jesus is often surprising. He doesn't always give us what we want. But in his wisdom, he gives us exactly what we need. We might think we need to be saved from hard situations, but our need for salvation from sin, Satan, and death is much greater. And Jesus delivers us.
Dear Jesus, thank you for being a King who conquered sin and death. Thank you for always giving me exactly what I need. Amen.
The Return to Nazareth
19 After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt 20 and said, "Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child's life are dead."
21 So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee, 23 and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.
John the Baptist Prepares the Way
3 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea 2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near." 3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:
"A voice of one calling in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.'"
4 John's clothes were made of camel's hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. 5 People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. 6 Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. 9 And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
11 "I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
The Baptism of Jesus
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"
15 Jesus replied, "Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness." Then John consented.
16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."
Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness
4 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."
4 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written:
"'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'"
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread." Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" Matthew 4:1–4
Sometimes we are tempted to do things we know we aren't supposed to do. Maybe you've felt tempted to lie so you don't get in trouble, take something that is not yours because you really, really wanted it, or say mean things because someone said something mean to you.
Temptation to do what's wrong usually comes disguised as something that seems right. Mean kids don't deserve nice words back, right? Wrong! That's what Satan wants us to think. He makes things seem okay. But don't be fooled!
Jesus faced the same temptations that we face, but he resisted all of them. He didn't fall for Satan's deceptive tricks. Instead, every time Satan tempted him, Jesus responded with words from the Bible, saying, "It is written ..." And Satan left Jesus alone. Jesus never once wavered, proving himself faithful to God.
If Jesus was tempted, anyone can be! Because Jesus overcame temptation, if we trust in him and ask for his power and presence, we too can stand firm in the face of temptation. Knowing the Word of God will be your weapon.
Dear Jesus, thank you for facing temptation and for triumphing over it. Please help me to never get caught off guard. Please help me to say no to sin. Amen.
7 Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'"
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me."
10 Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"
11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
Jesus Begins to Preach
12 When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he withdrew to Galilee. 13 Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali — 14 to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:
15 "Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles — 16 the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned."
17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near."
Jesus Calls His First Disciples
18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will send you out to fish for people." 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
Jesus Heals the Sick
23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. 24 News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them. 25 Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.

European firms face cash conundrum
Companies are hoarding cash, as corporate bond issuance grinds to a halt as firms become risk averse to debt, which could embed weak economic growth.
During the latest stock market slump, European companies could at least draw comfort from one thing: their high cash balances. But the fears about growth and sovereign debt that are spooking markets are also likely to make companies even more risk averse. If that means they continue to hoard cash, it would help embed the weak growth outlook.
Corporate bond issuance has ground to a halt this summer, while the net proportion of eurozone banks reporting an increase in loan demand slumped to 4% in the second quarter from 19% in...

SanEcoTec's Hydrogen Peroxide Sanitizers Improve Shelf Life of Produce
Canadian water treatment company, SanEcoTec Ltd. recently received a Letter of No Objection from Health Canada for the use of its Clean5, Clean25 and Clean50 sanitizers in process water on fresh and minimally processed fruits and vegetables.
In process water, the Clean line of products provides a sanitizing wash and efficacy against standard food spoiling organisms, and thereby supports the shelf-life of produce.
Used by a large organic herb greenhouse in final watering of herbs before shipping, the greenhouse has seen an average increase in the shelf-life of basil by 7-28 days.
Food safety
"The daily headlines concerning produce safety are troubling and the availability of the Clean line of products is an important development for the food industry," says SanEcoTec co-founder and CEO, Els Vanbeckevoort.
The sanitizers' only two ingredients are Huwa-San® Peroxide and ultra pure water. The sanitizers are 100% biodegradable, leave no residue and require no-rinse when used as instructed.
The most essential nutrient
Huwa-San Peroxide is also used in SanEcoTec's award-winning AVIVE® water treatment systems for greenhouses. The AVIVE system, showcased by the Company at the Canadian Greenhouse Conference in October 2018, is designed for improving irrigation water quality.
Benefits of the treatment include optimizing and standardizing incoming water quality and keeping irrigation lines and water clean. The systems' control and monitoring technologies and inclusion of rapid microbial testing allows growers to act pre-emptively, finding solutions to water quality concerns before they become problems.
"Water is not just a conveyer system for nutrients, it is the most essential nutrient. It can either support or undermine plant health and productivity," says Vanbeckevoort. "Healthy and productive water supports a profitable greenhouse."
Working in unison, the AVIVE system supports the growth, health and yield of plants while the Clean sanitizers support shelf-life post harvest.

Poster Printer Broken

Our poster printer is currently broken and awaiting new parts. Until our printer is fixed, please consider the following alternatives:
Our poster printer is currently broken and awaiting new parts. Until our printer is fixed, please consider the following alternatives:
Unfortuntely Dropbox has seen fit to drop support for CentOS 7, and is dropping support for xfs filesystems, which is what we use (and the default on CentOS 7).
The possibility of reformatting /scratch as ext4 was discussed, but unfortunately the new requirements also indicate that glibc 2.19 or higher is required. This would seem to disqualify CentOS 7 since it is distributed with glibc 2.17. So simply changing /scratch to ext4 would not be enough.
As a workaround, one could try rclone. Unlike the Dropbox app, rclone isn't a daemon that looks for file changes so it can sync them automatically. One would have to run rclone as a cronjob. If you decide to go this route, please run the cronjob on your desktop machine.
Another solution might be to switch to Google drive and use rclone with that.
For information on how to get rclone working with Dropbox or Google drive, see the rclone Dropbox documentation or the rclone Google Drive documentation.
For information and an example on how to set up and configure rclone here at Courant, see Setting up rclone at Courant.

"Lovely little house, well maintained and equipped. Beware of your head in the upstairs double bedroom!"
"Perfect spot for festival and in a lovely setting by the marina. All you need in house but found it wasn't clean enough we had to have a clean up a bit when we arrived. The bedside lamps thick with dust/ dirt and just little things that let it down like that. And dead flies on window sills. Needs a bit more tlc! The kitchen has paper towels covering the smoke alarm which cannot be right. On positives was well equipped with all you would need and the beds although the mattress was smaller than the frame on master bedroom (and the bruises show ) was Comfy ."
"The property and location was fine. Layout of property was not good as lounge was downstairs and 2 lots of stairs is not good for pensioners. Property needed some attention, for example lights NOT fixed properly to the ceiling, could not see carbon monoxide gadget - ok for smoke alarm. Heating was in place and working but had to turn it OFF as weather was very warm. No shops nearby. Pub was good and very near by - good food. Garden overgrown and patio full of weeds"
"Our stay was wonderful and the cottage was brilliant. We didn't know there were 2 sets of staircases (an issue for an elderly member of our party) but that was our only issue."
