"Eugene called while you were with Larry," Laurel said suddenly and without warning. "I told him you were busy."
Davina nearly choked on her pancakes, "you did what?!"
"He filled in the blanks, I just said busy. You need to stop avoiding his calls… it kind of gives you away and you know how I feel about cheating."
"It isn't cheating if we're not in a serious relationship, Laurel. I'm avoiding him because I'm afraid he wants that and I don't think I'm ready. We're still young, you know?"
"Serious relationships don't automatically entail marriage, 2.5 kids, and a white picket fence, Davina. Just commitment."
"They're practically the same thing!" Davina lamented, giving a long sigh. She decided to turn the tables on her treacherous twin. "It's not like you've got any room to talk, anyway. You've been avoiding Brayden just as much as I've avoided Eugene. And after that big fit you threw over one little kiss…"
"That's different." Laurel argued, scowling.
"I'm just saying… you threw a big old fit and now you're mad because he's clued in? Now you suddenly don't want to be 'more than friends'? Friends don't get mad when another friend kisses someone."
"They do when it's their floozy sister!"
Davina rolled her eyes, "technicalities…"
Davina knew that maybe she was a little irresponsible and that yeah, maybe what she did wasn't the best course of action… but it was her life and she wanted to enjoy it. She didn't constrain herself to other people's rules or notions. If she wanted to brag about her upcoming fame and hit on the hot new male maid, then you can bet your bottom dollar she would! That's how Davina Donovan worked from day one.
She'd leave the marrying and the commitment to her numerous sisters. This girl was going to be free for as long as she could manage it.
Laurel had felt badly about avoiding Brayden, but the awkwardness was just a little too much to bear. She really did want to be friends and to put all the crazy stuff behind them, but it seemed her little fit had planted an idea in Brayden's mind, one he wasn't giving up on. Laurel was certain she felt a bit more for him than friendship, but wasn't necessarily willing to risk it.
He finally cornered her at her house, much to her surprise. She'd gone out fishing only to find him waiting inside. She'd have to kill Davina later.
"Look, Laurel," he said, cutting her off. "I don't really know what's going on, but I do know this is kind of ridiculous. I've known you a long time… but this hot and cold stuff is reaching a whole new level of crazy."
"Argh! Why is everyone acting like I'm some kind of mental patient all of the sudden? Yes, I got angry and yes, maybe I overreacted a little… but this is ridiculous!"
"I didn't mean to say you were crazy," Brayden said quickly, stepping back.
Laurel was enraged. She was so sick of this, of all of this. Why did everything have to change? Why couldn't it just stay the same? Now she had to deal with all of this unraveling before her very eyes, her best friend, her sister, all of it. It was just too much. Why couldn't anyone understand that?
"This is just too much for me to deal with right now," Laurel said, calming down and taking a deep breath. "We're friends, Brayden, but I just need to be by myself for a little bit."
In other areas of the neighborhood, love was blossoming instead of being stifled. Mark Donovan had finally broken Lisette Ivanov down and they were steadily dating. He didn't seem to realize that Lisette was a bit pushy or the fact that she steamrolled right over him. Everyone in his family was anxious for how this would play out while he was completely and happily oblivious to it.
Melody surprised everyone when she started dating a guy a few years younger than her named Lonnie Durant. They'd met at the Bistro–he was a customer, she was the waitress and it all went from there. Lonnie was a nice guy and for the most part, Lila and Demetri were happy… but it was Melody. She wasn't known as the stable sister, well, when they excluded Davina from the equation, of course.
She was still young and they were worried that maybe she was moving a little too fast.
Lonnie didn't come from rich stock, in fact, he came from the lowest of low. His family inhabited a caravan of trailers and he had nearly five brothers. With both of them coming from big families, it definitely strengthened their bond. Lonnie wasn't quite sure what he wanted to do with his life, but that was okay. Melody wasn't partically concerned with money or anything like that. She was completely convinced she was in love.
So when Lonnie asked her to marry him, she didn't hesitate. She'd been looking to move out of her parents house anyway. Lila and Demetri were apprehensive. Sure, they'd been married and Lila had been pregnant when they were Melody's age, but Lonnie was a different story. He was younger and perhaps still wearing his perfect world, rose colored glasses. Reality would have some harsh lessons for the both of them.
They couldn't be swayed, however. They did promise to stay engaged for awhile before marrying, just to make her parents happy.
Melody moved out and in with Lonnie. They got a place on the otherside of town, across the river. Melody had never been so far from home before, but wasn't really concerned. She'd miss her family, sure, but she was in love.
Meanwhile, back at the homestead, trouble was brewing. A wayward burglar had decided that the Donovan house looked mighty good after casing the place. Unfortunately for him, he chose the wrong house to burgle. Emma wasn't stupid, she had instincts and keen senses. She awoke to the smallest sound of someone jostling the downstairs doorknob. She didn't panic, nor did any particular thought cross her mind. She simply slipped out of bed and headed downstairs.
She caught the burglar red handed and so had the alarm. He turned around abruptly to face her, amused at the petite little lady standing before him. Unfortunately, her expression was anything but meek and cute.
"You picked the wrong house to mess with," she warned, eyes narrowed.
A young and fresh cadet, just out of the academy, arrived some time later. He was surprised to find the alarm off, the lights all on, and the rest of the family upstairs, still asleep. The only person awake was Emma, who stood at the doorway, arms crossed, looking petulant.
"It's about time, did they have a discount donut sale on the way?"
The officer wasn't sure what to think. All he could say was, "it isn't safe for you to be down here, m'am."
"Oh, please. Your would-be burglar is in the kitchen, tied to a chair. Come on. I need to get the curtains back on the windows before my mom finds out."
He blinked, completely dumbfounded, but followed her all the same. Sure enough, there was a man tethered to a chair with curtains wrapped around his arms and legs, binding him. Emma undid the bindings and allowed the officer to cuff the suspect. Once he put the suspect in the car, he returned to make sure nothing was missing.
Instead, Emma shooed him out, "I told you, I got him on the way in. He didn't take anything. You can go now."
"Uh, but I'll need to speak with your parents–"
"No, no you won't. You'll leave, now. Goodbye, officer," she smirked, pushing him out the door, watching him closely as he left. He nearly stumbled down the stairs. "See you soon."
He wasn't quite sure what to make of the statement and for the moment, didn't want to think about it. He wasn't even sure what he was going to tell his supervisor when he returned without an incident report or anything.
Laurel wasn't quite sure where her head was anymore. One minute, she was fine, the next… not so much. She hated the thought of losing her friend to all this madness. She wished Davina had never started it, but wondered if it wouldn't have just happened anyway. They'd been friends for what seemed like forever and it wasn't like either of them were terribly social. She just couldn't see herself with him, or with anyone, for that matter. She'd never really thought about it when she was younger and especially not now.
"I know I've been acting like a real… well, witch," Laurel began, sighing. "I'm really sorry. I'm not trying to be mean, but it's just… I don't know. My head is all crazy and everything is changing… I don't like it."
Poor Laurel was really confused. It was written all over her face and Laurel wasn't one to exactly wear her emotions on her sleeve. Brayden gave her a comforting hug, with no hidden intention or anything of the sort hiding behind it. He began to feel a little bit badly about pushing the issue.
"It just seems a little strange, to be friends… I mean, after everything." Brayden admitted, pulling away reluctantly.
"Nothing happened to change our friendship; that's what I don't understand. I don't understand why it's so hard to just be friends."
"It's kind of like crossing an invisible line," Brayden said, pausing midway through the parting, hands lingering on her shoulders, "it happens. You can't really turn away from it and pretend everything is normal."
Laurel tried to ignore the impact the closeness had on her. They were both kind of frozen, neither moving to pull away, but not feeling entirely comfortable as they were, either. Laurel was especially perturbed, realizing suddenly that the space between them was becoming increasingly less and less.
She shifted suddenly, pulling away completely. "I-I need to go," she said, frazzled, turning and leaving without waiting for a reply.
Davina had no such issues with closeness. In fact, she rather enjoyed it. Unfortunately, she wasn't so happy with it now. Eugene had her cornered and she knew it.
"I'm not trying to be forceful, Davina, but this is getting ridiculous," he said, taking her hand. "I understand that you're not completely set on this whole commitment thing, but you have to understand, I'm not exactly happy with the fact you're out flirting with everyone, either."
"So you're ruining this just because of some flack from the guys?"
He sighed, "no, you know that's not it at all. And it seems like you've made your choice already…"
"I just don't get why we have to be serious all of the sudden. Maybe I don't want to be."
"Then you don't… I can't change that. But I do, and if not with you, then I'll find someone else."
"You do that," Davina said, standing up and making her move to leave. She couldn't deny that she felt a little hurt by the exchange.
Lila and Demetri Donovan were elders now, with gray hair and well-earned wrinkles. Their kids were growing up before their very eyes, becoming adults confronted with situations they themselves had once been a part of. It seemed weird and surreal, to stand from the outside looking in. Had they been that clueless?
Despite everything, they were still completely and totally in love, as enamored as they had been in their youth and perhaps a little more. It would be difficult watching their children bumble and stumble through life, but they hoped they had taught them well enough that perhaps there would maybe be a few less bumps for them.
Wishful thinking, of course…
Lila and Demetri are elders! :( I can't believe it, LOL. Davina and Laurel are also halfway through Young Adulthood… wow! Pretty crazy. Time seems to be really flying now that there are a lot more players in the equation. Brayden and Laurel still aren't doing so well in the romance department, though she DID accept an amorous hug… only to promptly say she needed to go home and flee afterward, lol. As for Emma and the cop… well, that played itself out. Emma woke up and well, I figured she'd be sure to bust some burglar butt. The cop was also surprisingly attractive for a cutout EA sim… so we'll see. She'll be a YA soon.
I'm now using Awesomemod Core with Indie Stone mod. So far, it's working out really great. Unfortunately, it has some bugs. Somehow, despite being TEENS, Mark and Lisette managed to get married. I didn't mention that for obvious reasons. Trust me, I was QUITE shocked. I do like how it automates townies, though, that's definitely cool and the alerts that tell you what's going on. It'll hold me over until JM Pescado comes out with his story progression stuff. You can customize it, though, so that's nice… I don't like how it sort of overrides Supreme Commander's (Awesomemod) 'Sacred' tag, though.
I also figured out you can STOP people from constantly moving by putting their surname in the house name. Like "Goth Manor" and so on. Very nifty. I also solved my random crashing on save and just gameplay by installing Vista Service Pack One on this install. I had it on my other HD, but not this one. Now everything works well, hooray!

Hello Folks,
If you have never heard of Palm Oil, it's a word that would do you good to remember. It's one of those words that will come back to haunt you in years to come. It will bite you in the ass when you think you've raised your kids right, survived the lies of politicians and saved the planet. Palm Oil could be your future or it could be the end of you, of us all....and I'm not joking either.
Right now Palm Oil is actually a topic of contention around the world. What to do or what not to do....is the question.
So what is all the fuss about?
For the next few weeks as we head into April, I will be discussing 'Palm Oil' to coincide with the 10th Anniversary of the end of the war in SL, along with Sierra Leone Independence. Think of the next month as The Palm Oil Month and we would love to get feedback on your views and the future.

Set foreground and background colors by clicking on the appropriate tile and choosing a color from the Color Picker, as demonstrated in the example below.
foreground-backg round-
foreground-backg round-
Press X if you want to switch the foreground and background colors. Press D if you want to revert to a black foreground and white background.
The Eyedropper Tool (/) lets you sample another color from your image, and set this as the foreground color. In fact, it's actually possible to sample colors from anywhere in your display and even from other applications outside of Photoshop. Simply click inside the document window, then drag the cursor to the color you wish to sample. Click to select that color.
Press X if you want to switch the foreground and background colors. Press D if you want to revert to a black foreground and white background.
The Eyedropper Tool also allows you to set the background color. To do so, hold down the Alt key (Option key on a Mac) as you select colors using the eyedropper. If your Swatch palette is open, use the Ctrl key instead (Command key for Mac users).
The Paint Brush, Pencil, Paint Bucket and any of the other painting or drawing tools can temporarily be turned into the Eyedropper Tool by holding down Alt (Option).
The Hand Tool (H) moves your canvas, which is handy (pardon the pun!) when you're zoomed in to an image, or have a very large document open.
What's even handier is the fact that you can invoke the Hand Tool while you're using any other tool (except the Text Tool) by holding down the spacebar. This is a neat way to position your image exactly where you want it without having to chop and change between tools to do so.

Tesla Just Announced a Supercar →
The Verge:
The top speed of the P85D is undoubtedly limited to something that won't send you violently hurtling into another dimension, but let me say it on no uncertain terms: its quoted 0-60mph time of 3.2 seconds is solidly in supercar territory.
Also, below is the video of Musk unveiling the new Model S P85D. Musk is impressive, in a very casual way, in his presentation style. I don't follow the auto industry very closely, other than recently with Tesla, but I don't think this is how most car companies unveil their new models. Tesla appears to be following the Apple model of announcements. Apple used to announce things at industry events, but has taken all its events private over the past several years. Tesla is not a car company. It's a technology company that happens to make cars.

Jarvis Scores Third Pole of Season
Oliver Jarvis has a knack for wringing every last bit of speed out of the No. 77 Mazda Team Joest RT24-P Daytona Prototype international (DPi) car, especially when there's a Motul Pole Award on the line.
Jarvis broke a 26-year-old track record to take the pole position in qualifying for January's Rolex 24 At Daytona. In qualifying for last month's Acura Sports Car Challenge at Mid-Ohio, he broke the previous year's track record by more than a second.
On Saturday at Watkins Glen International, Jarvis clocked a best lap of 1 minute, 29.639 seconds (136.547 mph) around the 3.4-mile circuit, breaking Pipo Derani's previous track record of 1:34.405 set in 2017 by almost five seconds to take the pole for Sunday's IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen. It was Jarvis' third Motul Pole Award of the season.
"The car was just fantastic in qualifying when it mattered," Jarvis said. "I just had so much confidence, I think the lower temperatures helped, but I just had so much confidence to push and attack. It was a real pleasure to drive.
Jarvis and co-drivers Tristan Nunez and Timo Bernhard will be fighting for Mazda's first WeatherTech Championship DPi victory. That elusive first win for Mazda has been an ongoing storyline, one that Jarvis hopes to finally put to rest on Sunday afternoon.
"I'm looking forward to the day where we don't have to discuss it," Jarvis said. "We're getting there. We're going to win a race. It's coming. I hope we can do it tomorrow. We have two very strong race cars. Qualifying is one thing, but we've also got a really strong race car. I'd like to say after this weekend, we don't have to talk about it."
Dane Cameron will start alongside Jarvis on the front row after posting a best lap of 1:29.862 (136.208 mph) in the No. 6 Acura Team Penske ARX-05 DPi. Cameron also started alongside Jarvis last month at Mid-Ohio, where he and co-driver Juan Pablo Montoya started what now is a two-race win streak. They'll go for three in a row Sunday.
Ricky Taylor qualified third in the No. 7 Acura Team Penske ARX-05 DPi at 1:29.928 (136.108 mph) that he shares with Helio Castroneves. Harry Tincknell put the No. 55 Mazda DPi that he will co-drive with Jonathan Bomarito and Oliver Jarvis fourth on the grid at 1:29.983 (136.025 mph).
Renger van der Zande completed the top five on the grid with a lap of 1:30.758 (134.864 mph) in the No. 10 Konica Minolta Cadillac DPi-V.R. Van der Zande's co-driver is Jordan Taylor
In the LMP2 class, French driver Gabriel Aubry won his first Motul Pole Award in the No. 52 PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports ORECA LMP2 with a lap of 1:31.735. His co-drivers are Matt McMurry and Eric Lux.
"It's my first pole, indeed," Aubry said. "It's the only time I could come back since the pre-test (the Roar Before the Rolex 24 At Daytona in January) so I'm really happy. The lap wasn't perfect but just the track is so amazing. It's a great feeling. It's my first time at Watkins Glen. It feels like you're almost back in go-karts. It's just a lot of fun to drive. The track has a lot of grip and the tires work so well."
Garcia put Corvette on LMP2 pole
If Saturday's qualifying session for the Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen at Watkins Glen International is any indication, the race in the GT Le Mans (GTLM) class Sunday may come down to a good, old-fashioned battle between Corvette and Ford.
Throughout the 15-minute session, the top spot on the leaderboard switched hands a remarkable eight times with the car in every occasion coming from the Corvette Racing or Ford Chip Ganassi Racing camps.
When all was said it done, however, it was the No. 3 Chevrolet Corvette C7.R of Antonio Garcia who topped the No. 67 Ford GT of Richard Westbrook by 0.317 seconds for Corvette Racing's first pole of the season. Garcia and Westbrook swapped the lead five times between the two of them in the final eight minutes, as lap times continued to fall throughout the session before Garcia landed the knockout punch with a lap of one minute, 40.799 seconds (121.429 mph).
"You always need to be careful around Richard because he is always really fast," said Garcia. "The guys did a really good job telling me what he was doing and everything. That gave me the opportunity the first time to cool down and then I could go again because I had more, as I showed on the last lap.
"I'm really happy for Chevrolet. Finally, we got something that is good, so hopefully it's something for turning around tomorrow and starting to win races again."
A win tomorrow for Garcia and his co-driver Jan Magnussen would be an historic one for Corvette Racing. The team has long been in search of its 100th IMSA victory, scoring win No. 99 in April 2018 at Long Beach.
Garcia and Magnussen's winless streak dates back even further to VIRginia International Raceway in August 2017, but remarkable consistency for the No. 3 team has led the duo to back-to-back GTLM class championships. So far in 2019, Garcia and Magnussen sit second in points with three consecutive podium finishes and back-to-back runner-up finishes.
Another Corvette C7.R, the No. 4 of Tommy Milner rounded out the top three with a lap of 1:41.291 (120.839 mph), just short of Westbrook's lap of 1:41.116 (121.049 mph). The No. 24 BMW Team RLL BMW M8 GTE of John Edwards broke up the Chevrolet/Ford party by qualifying fourth, one spot ahead of Joey Hand's No. 66 Ford GT in fifth.
ANTONIO GARCIA, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE C7.R - GTLM POLE-WINNER: "You always have to be careful with Richard (Westbrook, second-quickest qualifier) because he is always very, very fast. Kyle (Millay, No. 3 Corvette race engineer) did a really good job of telling me what Richard was doing and that gave me an opportunity to cool down so I could go again. So I had more to give as I showed on the last lap. I am happy for Corvette and Chevrolet. And finally we have something which is good for tomorrow and we can turn it around and start winning races."
(On engine change after Friday first practice): "It was very tough to lose an engine in first practice, but that is why we have the other Corvette. The No. 4 car did a fantastic job of doing all the work that is supposed to be divided between both cars. All the work they've done we put in our car and everything seems to be working as you saw. It is always a team effort and I'm very happy with how the car behaved today and I hope this is a good start for tomorrow."
Acura Sweeps GTD Front Row as Hindman Earns Second Motul Pole Award of Season
Leading the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GT Daytona (GTD) point standings with co-driver Mario Farnbacher, Trent Hindman found another top position to take – the pole for Sunday's Six Hour of The Glen at Watkins Glen International.
In Saturday's qualifying session, Hindman drove the No. 86 Meyer Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3 to the top of the leaderboard, earning the Motul Pole Award with a time of 1:44.978 (116.595 MPH). It's his second Motul Pole Award of the year.
"To come here and pay these guys back for their efforts, feels really good," said Hindman, who with Farnbacher will be joined by endurance racer Justin Marks. "But they deserve all the credit on this one. It was a tough couple weeks to get things turned around for this event. There's still plenty that needs to be done tomorrow.
"It's a long race, but qualifying up front is certainly very important for us. The Acura really loves clean air. Whether it's wet or dry, it doesn't really matter. But being out front, unobstructed is great for us. We're going to try and take full advantage of that. It's a really good result in qualifying."
One thing Hindman hasn't done yet is win, despite having a top-10 finish in each of his nine WeatherTech Championship GTD starts. He has four runner-up finishes, including the class' most recent WeatherTech Championship race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
"That's like the biggest thing right now," said Hindman. "We've been so close and even in Daytona and Sebring we've been quick, but had some horrible luck fall in our way. So unfortunately, we couldn't capitalize on the speed that we had. Every race we come out, we're always shooting for a win.
"There's no event where we're ever trying to take a back-seat approach. It's just a matter of how everything really shakes out tomorrow. But pole position is where we want to be starting, it's a step in the right direction."
Making it an all-Acura, all-Meyer Shank Racing front row was Christina Nielsen in the No. 57 Heinricher Racing with Meyer Shank Racing Acura. Nielsen jumped to second in the final three minutes of the 15-minute qualifying session with a time of 1:45.295 (116.244 MPH). Nielsen will co-drive with Katherine Legge and Bia Figueiredo.
Also jumping up the charts late in the session was Dillon Machavern in the No. 96 Turner Motorsport BMW M6 GT3. Machavern was part of the Turner team's winning lineup last year at The Glen and will be join this weekend by Bill Auberlen and Robby Foley.

VAT transfer could be delayed suggests First Minister
Fears of risk to the Scottish economy could see delays to VAT assignation
Derek MacKay and Nicola Sturgeon. Image credit: John Linton/ PA
The assignation of £6bn of VAT revenues to the Scottish budget could be postponed, the Scottish Government has announced, due to concerns over the accuracy of the mechanisms proposed to assess Scotland's share of UK VAT receipts.
The announcement, made by Finance Secretary Derek MacKay at a meeting of the Scottish Parliament's Finance and Constitution Committee, was later backed by First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, who warned of the "enormous risk" the Scottish economy could face if the partial assignation process went ahead in the face of Brexit uncertainties and "volatility" in the economy.
Any distribution of VAT receipts to Scotland would be reflected in adjustments to Scotland's block grant funding from Westminster, and the First Minister stated that her concerns were about the methodologies being used to calculate Scotland's share with no comparative out-turn data being produced to guide the decision, which will be based on estimates.
Sturgeon said: "There is no new power here for the Scottish Parliament. This is not about taking on a power or postponing a power, it is about a way of calculating the Scottish budget that has enormous risk attached to it, and about asking if it is sensible to allow that to be done on the proposed methodology at a time when there is so much volatility in some of the factors that drive this."
Earlier, Derek Mackay had warned that the level of risk to economy in the proposed process meant that the Scottish Government "was not in a position to sign this off".
Opposition parties in Holyrood have attacked the SNP following the announcement, with both Scottish Labour and the Scottish Conservatives using the decision to mock claims by the SNP that an independent Scotland could be established within an 18 month timescale.
Scottish Conservative shadow finance secretary Murdo Fraser said: "This move exposes the fact that Nicola Sturgeon is running a return-to-sender government.
"It's bad enough that she handed back social security powers earlier this year, then suddenly decided she wanted nothing to do with control over air departure tax this week.
"Now we learn the SNP government doesn't even have the wherewithal to cope with the VAT assignment it so furiously demanded previously.
"This is a government which said it could have an entire separate country up-and-running within just 18 months. Yet, when powers begin to arrive at Holyrood, instead of embracing them and making them work for Scotland, the nationalists hand them straight back."
Scottish Labour Finance spokesperson James Kelly said: "This is quite a climb-down from Derek MacKay and also makes a mockery of claims the SNP could have set up a separate state within 18 months.
"While the SNP government again hands Scotland's powers back to the Tories, Labour would use them to invest in Scotland's people, communities and public services."
The partial assignation of VAT had first been proposed in 2014 as part of proposals for greater devolution by the Smith Commission.

WASHINGTON (Legal Newsline) - Have the benefits of processing mass tort injury claims through multidistrict litigation (MDLs) worn thin?
At the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform's annual summit on Wednesday, Bayer Corp. vice president and associate general counsel Malini Moorthy said MDLs make a lot of sense in not duplicating discovery and avoiding inconsistent rulings, but their growth also has resulted in the filing of meritless claims.
She likened the expansion of MDLs, which dominate federal court civil dockets, to the famous Field of Dreams line that if built, people will come.
"And, boy, did they," she said.
Pharmaceutical MDLs often involve the claims of tens of thousands plaintiffs and the ultimate end game on the plaintiff side is to reach a global settlement, Moorthy said.
The courts have been "enablers in all this," she said, because they are "pushing us to settlement."
"With 50, 60, 70,000 claims how do you get out without a resolution?" she said.
"Judges in MDLs are thinking their role is resolution. But resolution isn't settlement alone."
Among 17 personal injury-related MDLs, all but two involve pharmaceuticals. Others are the Volkswagen emissions suits and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill litigation. Those 17 cover 41 percent of the nation's federal civil docket, she said.
Moorthy said she sees tide changes coming through defense moves for summary judgment and interlocutory appeals - ones that are made while litigation is ongoing rather than at the conclusion of a case.
She also said that approximately 40 percent of plaintiff claims in personal injury MDLs end up getting zeroed out.
"They should never have been filed," she said. "They are too bare bones to actually vet."
Claims that get zeroed out, which she said "confounds" judges, probably should be gotten rid of earlier in the course of litigation.
She also said there needs to be a more standardized process and set of criteria to winnow out meritless claims.
Another side effect of the growth of MDLs is the loss of filing fees. Moorthy calculated that $10.2 million is what federal and state courts have lost in fees.

Had the NFL conducted a draft lottery and had the ping-pong balls come out in exactly the same fashion as last week's NBA draft lottery, in which the New Orleans Pelicans were awarded the No. 1 overall choice, the Jacksonville Jaguars would have earned the top pick.
How might that have changed the first round of last month's NFL Draft? Glad you asked. Here is a pretend draft featuring the 14 "lottery" teams.
1. Jacksonville Jaguars
The real pick at No. 7: Kentucky edge Josh Allen.
The potential pick at No. 1: Alabama DT Quinnen Williams. After the Jaguars signed quarterback Nick Foles to a four-year, $88 million deal in free agency, would they have doubled down on quarterback by taking Kyler Murray? Probably not. With Williams, the Jaguars would have a front four of Yannick Ngakoue and Calais Campbell as the ends and Williams and Marcell Dareus at the tackles.
2. Buffalo Bills
The real pick at No. 9: Houston DT Ed Oliver.
The potential pick at No. 2: Ohio State edge Nick Bosa. The Bills finished 15th in the NFL in sack percentage last season. With Bosa, the Bills' defense would have gone from very good to elite.
3. Arizona Cardinals
The real pick at No. 1: Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray.
The potential pick at No. 3: Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray. With Jacksonville signing Foles in free agency and Buffalo using last year's first-round pick on quarterback Josh Allen, Murray would have fallen right into the lap of new coach Kliff Kingsbury.
4. Cincinnati Bengals
The real pick at No. 11: Alabama OT Jonah Williams
The potential pick at No. 4: Iowa TE T.J. Hockenson. The Bengals have one of the worst tight end groups in the NFL. Hockenson would have changed that fact and gived quarterback Andy Dalton a badly needed option opposite receiver A.J. Green.
5. San Francisco 49ers
The real pick at No. 2: Ohio State edge Nick Bosa.
The potential pick: Kentucky edge Josh Allen. The 49ers' pass defense was horrible last season, lowlighted by a league-worst two interceptions. You know what changes that? An elite pass rusher. That's why the 49ers selected Bosa and why they would have selected Allen.
6. New York Jets
The real pick at No. 3: Alabama DT Quinnen Williams.
The potential pick: LSU LB Devin White. White, a rare three-down inside linebacker who oozes leadership ability, would have replaced the recently traded Darron Lee.
7. Oakland Raiders
The real pick at No. 4: Clemson edge Clelin Ferrell.
The potential pick at No. 7: Clemson edge Clelin Ferrell. The Raiders shocked the football world by taking the productive Ferrell at No. 4. There's no reason to believe they would have gone elsewhere at No. 7.
8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The real pick at No. 5: LSU LB Devin White
The potential pick at No. 8: Houston DT Ed Oliver. With Gerald McCoy's uncertain future in Tampa Bay, the Buccaneers could have gone younger and cheaper and – potentially – just as productive with the hard-charging Oliver.
9. New York Giants
The real pick at No. 6: Duke QB Daniel Jones.
The potential pick at No. 9: Duke QB Daniel Jones. The Giants would have waited about 45 minutes longer to get their eventual replacement for Eli Manning.
10. Detroit Lions
The real pick at No. 8: Iowa TE T.J. Hockenson.
The potential pick: Michigan LB Devin Bush. Considering the Lions used their second-round pick on Hawaii linebacker Jahlani Tavai, why not use this pick on the home-state linebacker with the game-changing range? With the retirement of T.J. Lang, the Lions have a hole at right guard, so they could have gone with Alabama's Jonah Williams.
11. Denver Broncos
The real pick at No. 10: The Broncos traded this selection to Pittsburgh, which it used on Michigan LB Devin Bush.
The potential pick at No. 11: Wish Bush off the board, the trade would not have happened and the Broncos would have been on the clock. In the trade, they ended up taking Iowa TE Noah Fant at No. 20. With his potential game-changing athleticism, that pick makes sense here.
12. Miami Dolphins
The real pick at No. 13: Clemson DT Christian Wilkins.
The potential pick at No. 12: Clemson DT Christian Wilkins. Need met talent in the real draft and works perfectly here, too. Wilkins is a big upgrade to a defensive line that needed help.
13. Green Bay Packers
The real pick at No. 12: Michigan edge Rashan Gary.
The potential pick: Michigan edge Rashan Gary. GM Brian Gutekunst spent lavishly in free agency on edge rushers Za'Darius Smith and Preston Smith but still took Gary in the first round. Nothing in the preceding picks would have changed Gutekunst's thinking in the first round.
14. Atlanta Falcons
The real pick at No. 14: Boston College G Chris Lindstrom.
The potential pick at No. 14: Alabama OL Jonah Williams. The Falcons took Lindstrom at No. 14 and moved up to No. 31 to take Washington offensive tackle Kaleb McGary. So, offensive line is the easy target here and Williams – with his guard/tackle flexibility – would have provided excellent value.
The rest of the first round:

Ryanair laughs off EU crisis, raises profit forecasts
Ryanair yesterday raised its profit forecasts following a bumper winter. Higher fares and yet more cash from sky-high charges mean the airline expects to make £400million for 2011-2012.
Ryanair yesterday raised its profit forecasts following a bumper winter.
Higher fares and yet more cash from sky-high charges mean the airline expects to make £400million for 2011-2012.
That's almost £33million more than expected just a few months ago.
Ryanair's deputy chief executive Howard Millar said it had yet to see any fallout from the EU crisis — and, if anything, was BENEFITING from it.
He said bookings were strong in the UK and Germany as well as Italy and Spain, with a number of passengers "trading down" from pricier carriers to save money. Fares were rising as higher demand forced up the asking price for seats on sale, he added.
Ryanair grounded 80 planes over the winter to save money — and cut capacity.
As a result, the average fare in December was 40 euros (£33.45), 17 per cent up on the previous year. For the three months to December 31, Ryanair made £9.5million, up 244 PER CENT. Mr Millar said: "Bookings have been remarkably robust, despite what people are saying.
"Europe is performing quite well. I'm loathe to quote the former Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi, but it's like when he said, 'What recession? The restaurants are full, the bars are full'."
Mr Millar laughed off suggestions Ryanair's good year meant baggage fees or booking charges may now come down.
But he said it was unlikely the baggage fees would rise this year — "they typically only change every 18 months to two years".
He added: "Over winter only 25 per cent of people checked in a bag.
"Without the charge, we'd be carrying 64million bags this year.
"We actually expect to carry 30million."
Mr Millar predicted more airlines would collapse following the demise of Spain's SPANAIR last Friday.
He said: "As Michael (O'Leary — Ryanair's chief executive) says, we like a good old recession every now and then as it clears out the dead wood in the industry."

"War without borders": Obama's "Long War"
20-05-2010 20:39
In March of last year, the Defense Department's office of security review stated that that "this administration prefers to avoid using the term 'Long War' or 'Global War on Terror'. Please use 'Overseas Contingency Operation.' "
The surge in troop deployment is part of a long war scenario, which is by no means limited to the Middle East and Central Asia. While the US and NATO are directly threatening Russia, China and Iran, the Obama doctrine tacitly denies the very existence of a war. What is increasingly presented to public opinion is a Worldwide counter-terrorism crusade against Al Qaeda.
A change of words and labels does not modify the nature of America's global military design. What were dealing with is an intractable war, which in a very real sense threatens the future of humanity.

Thailand's Class War
20-05-2010 19:15Some of this info has been taken from wikipedia.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Thai_political_protests
State violence has been met by violence from the Red Shirts, who targetted the stock exchange, shopping malls, banks and media outlets in Bangkok seen as sympathetic to the government. The Bangkok Post and Channel 3 television were both evacuated. Outside Channel-3, cars parked outside the building were set on fire and protesters then entered the Channel 3 building and set it on fire. In total, 30 buildings were gutted with fire, as a curfew was laid down and extended to 21 provinces across the north and north east of the country overnight. The curfew has been extended by 3 days.
Will this mean the rural working class will finally get listened to? Probably not just right now but this just the start. Former PM Thaksin Shinawatra is right to say that the government clampdown will see the start of a guerrilla war. Investors/companies are already moving out of Bangkok. The Red Shirts may have lost the battle, but the may just win the war in view of the potential that exists in view of their sheer numbers, despite a heavy state clampdown. Time for the rich elite to cede some of their power, otherwise even more significant chunks of the middle class will turn against them as well and join in their complete annihilation.

Stop Islamophobia: Defend the Muslim Community
20-05-2010 10:22Stop The War Coalition are organising a major one-day conference 'Stop Islamophobia: Defend the Muslim Community' in London on Saturday June 5th. People will be going from Bristol.
If you are interested in going email email@example.com as soon as possible or phone 07766 432413.
Alternatively tickets (£5) can be purchased at http://stopwar.org.uk/content/view/1860/1/ or call 020 7801 2768.
Stop Islamophobia: Defend the Muslim Community
One Day Conflerence Saturday 5 June 10am to 5pm
Camden Centre London WC1H 9JE
Speakers include:
Daud Abdullah Muslim Council of Britain • Mohammed Ali Islam Channel • Anas Al-Tikriti British Muslim Initiative • Moazzam Begg former Guantanamo Bay prisoner • Lindsey German convenor Stop the War Coalition • Muhammad Habibur-Rahman vice-president Islamic Forum of Europe • Kate Hudson CND • Imran Khan solicitor • Dr Robert Lambert former head of Scotland Yard's Muslim Contact Unit • Seumas Milne journalist • Peter Oborne journalist • Salma Yaqoob Respect Party
Muslims are under attack in this country as never before. Government policies and the media have created an atmosphere in which all Muslims are portrayed as reactionary and anti-western.
Young Muslims in particular are subject to surveillance in colleges, schools and mosques in the name of combating "extremism". Those who exercise their right to demonstrate peacefully have been subject to arrest and heavy sentencing.
Meanwhile, the racist "defence leagues" have been focussing their attacks on Muslim communities, with provocative marches in towns and cities inciting racial hatred and bigotry.
From its founding in 2001, Stop the War has been committed to combating racism. We recognise that Islamophobia is a direct consequence of the "war on terror". We believe it is vital that the anti-war movement acts in conjunction with other campaigns and organisations to stem its tide.
The Stop Islamophobia: Defend the Muslim Community conference on Saturday 5 June, organised by Stop the War and the British Muslim Initiative, will bring together a wide range of opinion united in concern over the escalating demonisation of Muslims in our society.
Organised by Stop the War Coalition and British Muslim Initiative
Supported by CND, Cordoba Foundation, Federation of Student Islamic Societies, Islam Channel, Islamic Forum of Europe, Islamophobia Watch, London Muslim Centre, Muslim Welfare House, National Union of Journalists, North London Central Mosque, Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Unite
US sabotages 'unique opportunity' for peaceful resolution with Iran
20-05-2010 10:17
This US stonewalling of any avenue for dialogue with Iran has disturbing echoes of Washington's deliberate sabotaging of diplomatic overtures for a peaceful resolution prior to its invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. It also exposes Obama's vow of a new beginning in US foreign policy to be cynical lie, trotted out in front of his nation and the world with hand on heart.

The "War on Terrorism" for oil: Folly of the imperial oil adventure
20-05-2010 09:35
The signs are unavoidable and clear: the Anglo-American empire has run out of time, and oil, and humanity itself has paid the steepest cost. From war and chaos, catastrophic financial meltdowns, or the mega-disaster in the Gulf of Mexico that could ultimately render all else moot, events are well beyond the empire's ability to control or hide any of it.

Paranormal Postcards
Nina Katchadourian, 2001 and ongoing
"An ongoing project, at present consisting of over 200 postcards, where various elements in the image are connected by stitching through the card with red sewing thread. The cards are then grouped, and the groups are then connected via an elaborate network of dotted red lines made of graphic tape applied to the wall. A "world view" of extreme and almost paranoid interconnectedness emerges. As with many of my map works and chart pieces, the project seems to suggest some underlying coherent research or guiding principal, but the piece ultimately speaks more about taxonomy itself."

Boeing-Bombardier faceoff escalates further
The ongoing saga between the Montreal-based transportation giant Bomabardier and the comparably large Boeing has escalated a step further.
Friday afternoon, the U.S. Department of Commerce once again sided with its domestic company, which had launched a complaint against Bombardier over allegations that it was dumping its aircrafts into the United States. Now, the Commerce Department is mandating that all U.S.-bound imports of the CSeries jets will face a 79.2 per cent anti-dumping duty.
This duty follows the announcement last week that Bombardier was being given a 220 per cent duty in response to its use of countervailing subsidies. It was quick to fight back against Boeing for that accusation, calling it "absurd and divorced from the reality about the financing of multibillion dollar aircraft programs."
Boeing's anti-Bombardier crusade dates back all the way to April when it filed a petition with the Department of Commerce to investigate Bombardier on the grounds of dumping its aircrafts, and, in the case of Delta, trying to sell them at an "absurdly low price."
Together, the two duties essentially amount to a tripling of prices for the CSeries passenger jets—a result that far outpaces the 80 per cent Boeing requested. Should the duties be finalized, which would require Boeing to prove its case to the International Trade Commission, it could price Bombardier out of the U.S. market altogether—a consequence that won't even benefit America.
"Boeing's complaint and the Commerce Department's response constitute an abuse of process that will penalize not only Bombardier but also American workers and travellers and the American airline companies that will be forced to accept higher prices or inferior products," said Canadian Chamber of Commerce President Perrin Beatty.
As some have pointed out, the entire thing reeks of political motivation.
"This is all about politics now," said David Madani, senior Canada economist at Capital Economics in Toronto. "It clearly shows that the U.S. Commerce Department, and the U.S. administration more generally, has got it in for Canada.

With Record Temperature in 4 Cities, This Is The Worst Heatwave Ever in India
The country is witnessing its worst-ever heat wave, with four cities in north India on a record high. Starting with national capital Delhi, Churu in Rajasthan and Banda and Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh have witnessed temperatures of 48 degrees Celsius and above.
Churu has crossed 50 degrees twice in the last week a whopping 8 degrees above its normal temperature at this time of the year.
Banda is close behind at 49.2 degrees, Allahabad at 48.9. Delhi touched 48 degrees — a record high for June — on Monday.
The heatwave is declared when the temperature remains at 45 degrees Celsius and above for two days running. It gets a "severe" tag when mercury touches 47 degrees.
Heat waves have been becoming increasingly frequent over the last years.
Since 2004, the country has experienced 11 of the 15 warmest years. Last year was the sixth-warmest since 1901 when preserving weather records started in the country.
Last week, 11 of the 15 hottest places in the world were located in India, the rest were in neighboring Pakistan, weather monitoring website El Dorado reported.
Scientists say this is part of climate change that's becoming a worldwide phenomenon and is likely to become more frequent. Environmental activists have suggested that India put in place a plan to tackle heat waves that are costing hundreds of lives every year.
Since 2010, more than 6000 people have died in heat waves in the country, the Lok Sabha was told last year by health minister Harsh Vardhan.

Anyone have any knowledge of these ? Just found in a pawn store with 4x weaver steel scope mounted. Has straight butt stock. I coudn't pass it up. Thank you
What do you want to know?
Mine shoots just fine.
Don't know if you might be looking to add other barrels to that frame, but the 58 was not a high pressure frame, so you'll be limited to "I think" the hornet, 20ga shotgun, 410 shotgun, "maybe" 12ga, and "maybe" 30-30. My memory ain't so good as it once was, but all of the info that you want is over on GBO, in their H&R/NEF section.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

If it is an older one the twist os for 40-45 grain bullets you will need to measure. Otherwise good shooters and good on coyote up to 100 yards or so.
Nice light weight rifle for field walking. Glad you grabbed it
Sent from my SCH-I435 using Tapatalk
got one that was my Dad's. wouldn't part with it for anything.
A downloaded single shot Hornet is great. My favorite squirrel rifle.
If you find it a bit anemic you can always bore it to a .221 Fireball or .222 too. I have a Thompson barrel that someone did that too. Really enjoy my TC in Fireball.
Obssd1958 is right. That frame is limited to lower pressure loads. That's why the old frames were limited to cartridges such as .22Hornet, .30-30, .45-70 & .44Mag.
Newer frames made specifically for High Pressure Cartridges such as .270Win that were made in middle 1990's, could. Until the purchase of the Company by Marlin, those frames were made stronger.
The old model 058 are not strong enough to handle a cartridge as hot as .223 Rem. or .221 Fireball.
I HATE auto-correct
Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.
My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.
weik I hope yours has a better trigger than mine. Bought mine in 79 and liked it alot but with the horrible trigger pull I could never get mine to shoot groups less than 3" @ 100 yds with any bullet or powder combination. I have seen you tube videos on how to lighten trigger pull but looks too complicated for me. Not sure that the trigger pull is my only problem as the groups don't look like I am pulling shots but rather the groups are just random high, low, left, right. I can shoot 20 round groups and they are all in the same general grouping as the 5 round groups. I don't have a trigger pull gauge but I would guess it at around 15 to 20 #. Have still killed 5 or 6 coyotes with it plus many other varmints around the property. Handi little rifle for a truck gun. Make sure you have your hand over the chamber when opening the action as this model has a ejector not a extractor. Empty brass will travel a long distance and never be seen again.
Cast iron frame, don't mess with it. Wayyyyy too many cheap .223s out there if you want that.
I never understood why everybody seems to want to hotrod a Hornet, too many .22 centerfires that do that much better and the real beauty of the Hornet is how easy it downloads. It's kind of like the .30-30 in that regard, it handles reduced loads a lot better than the bigger ones, at least in my experience.
I got a 258 Handy rifle years ago with a 20 ga barrel and a 30/30 barrel. I then got one of the Lee 160 gr round nose molds and started in casting and found that it was pretty easy to get the thing to shoot well. The 258 is nickle plated and mine came in a take down case. The 20 ga barrel makes for a really light shotgun that I have never been able to hit with, probably due to lack of practice.
Quis Quis Quis, Quis Liberat Canes
Millions and millions of American shooters and sportsmen got up, went to work, contributed to society in useful and meaningful ways all over the nation and shot no one today! How do they controll themselves?? Experts Baffled....
I helped a young fellow I worked with , get his grandfather's 22 hornet shooting good again with Hornady 40 gr v-max over a light charge . We struggled with cast a wile then I just ordered bulk 40 gr v-max , he might shoot 100-150 rounds a year . As mentioned those suckers chunk spent brass , watch out .
Yes , kind of like that, but with a straight grip wood stock. The butt is a little slippery so when I shoot from the bench I have to hold on tight.

Its a fine gun!!
Yes, its not as strong as modern SB2 frames. YES, its a soldered lug. YES, its probably 1:14... SO WHAT!!!! Its a hornet, you are ahooting 35,40 & 45g bullets!! But PLENTY STRONG FOR A Hornet or K Hornet.
Guys over at Greybeards have forgotten what many think they know of these.
If you like it and price is right go for it. Prices are raising and its doubtful you will loose out should you sell. I have had a few, took a few to get a real accurate one for me.

Thanks for all the info fellas. I have just picked up a 75 chev 3/4 ton 4 w/d for a ranch truck and the handi lives behind the seat now. Had it out to the range sat. the trigger pull isn't to awful and accuracy was good at 50 yrds. I have 3 other hornets and a fireball and a bee so it will remain what is. a fine little truck gun. Thanks again TW
weik, are you going to try cast loads in it?
I hadn't thought of using cast in it. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you
My friend bought one just like you have in the early 1970s. We learned a couple of things about the 22 Hornet. It will kill deer with neck shots at close range, and if you full length size your cases eventually you will get a head separation. It is a very cool little rifle though.

These are the 10 best Early Access VR games on Steam
Both the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift hit consumers earlier this year, with a limited range of titles at launch. Now that virtual reality's appeal has been proven, developers are starting to get onboard, but this hasn't completely solved the platform's lack of content.
Steam's Early Access program has become more relevant than ever since the introduction of SteamVR, by getting titles in the hands of gamers ahead of their official launch. This not only helps bring new experiences to consumers faster, but also provides developers with a significant volume consumer feedback.
However, due to the program's nature, not every title that comes to Early Access is perfect. With more developers working on virtual reality experiences than ever before, finding hidden gems is becoming an even more daunting task. We've rounded up our favourite in-progress titles available through the Steam storefront.

Food and Future collaborated with Bitten to dedicate an evening to food conversations (YES!!!)- specifically revolving around the topic of transparency. This evening kicked off an incredible weekend in Boston in more ways than I imagined - and so began a trip of fully immersing in an environment of growth that was both energizing and intellectually challenging.
It went a little something like this...I hop off the plane, successfully manage to navigate myself through Boston straight to the event, show up to this incredible set-up (I'm talking this breathtaking view overlooking the water, the sun is setting, there's buzzing conversation, 'Good Times' playlist bumpin' on Spotify) and of course.. my luggage in one hand and lots of salad and lots of wine in the other. This was my place. Balance, right?
Make some friends. Take a seat. And get ready for an incredible evening of conversations.
Here are those "DAMN" moments:
Nadia Berenstein: The History of Transparency in Food - flavor historian.
- This banana picture raised the question - "is it actually bad to consume foods with words on the labels we cant pronounce'"(typically, the 'rule of thumb' to steer clear of shit that shouldn't go in our body's)…are these daunting chemistry words nothing but ways of communicating our world's make up? For example this pure banana right off the tree - there is nothing "fake" about this...BOOM, and so begins the conversation of "transparency"
- Artificial vs Natural - how might we use labels to educate?
- When creating labels ask the questions - "does this give a better idea of what's in the product? What it is communicating?"
Deb Roy: Algorithms and Transparency - MIT lab director for social machines
- Apples are old AF…did you know that? Over a year by the time you consume it..and much lower nutritional value
- The picture above explains the casualty between #bacon and transparency through twitter data aka when the WHO released in 2015 it's relation to cancer...everyone flipped out (spike in talk) and (drop in consumption)..eventually in the long-term it doesn't do anything
- Fake news and food tribes. This is real, my friends. Just as we tend to 'herd' and affiliate with a political party (and how we make assumptions off who someone is and what they believe...implicit bias) - this is also found in 'foodies' ...like..hypothetically, let's say I Instagram a picture of my food (I would never) and how you make conclusions (even subconsciously) of who I am and my 'tribe'
- Side note: I've never been more fascinated by data in my life - if it was possible to take a VR trip through the social architect of this data, it would be a better trip than any amusement park ride
- The implications this research could have on positive behavior change - the social architecture of the language of food influences can affect our habits - who does it best? The analysis clustering the inter-connectivity between vegan, vegetarians, gluten-free, paleo, raw, keto, …Canadian mom's...tells a fascinating story
Maxin Bedat - Transparency in Fashion - Cofounder and CEO of Zady *longer than 3 bullets because MIND BLOWN* Fast fashion is the new fast food
- "Agriculture" and "food" are used interchangeably but agriculture includes cotton, which includes our clothes... (so if you care about food, listen.)
- We've reached PEAK STUFF. We've never owned so much at so cheap.
- We wear the average piece of clothing 7x
- 150 billion units of clothing are DUMPED every year (that's an average of an attire wardrobe per person a year)
- Less than 2% of American's clothes are made in the US
- Apparel is 10% of carbon foot print
- This IS NOT what the consumer wants, but what we are made to think we want (gave me major inspo in terms of business marketing)
- The google search "tidy up" is peaking - more than ever we have an interest in taking control of our shit and we are reaching mental exhaustion of consumption
- Purposeful consumption isn't just eating
- The cost of cheap material: The remains of our clothes are found in our food...and wool's waste is 8% that of Polyester..so less in your food (this is one reason why I love AllBirds **and FYI - I wouldn't break them in by walking 7+ miles walking around Boston ..however, for the record they wash soppy puddles of blood out perfectly)
- Brands lose control of the supply chain when sourced over seas (s/o to Dr. Maier for the pre-knowledge in Thursday's lecture)
- The fashion industry is 20 years behind the food industry - "it's hard to provide a solution when people don't even realize what the problem is"
- ACTION ITEMS: 1. check the tags 2. check the seams 3. LOVE what you buy 4. ASK the brand Q's on the factories, names of mills and certifications 5. Think of your purchases in terms of cost per wear (amortization!)
Tracy Chang - Transparency in Restaurant - Founder and Exec Chef of PAGU aka BOSS!
- Clearly Asian fusion restaurant ideas are the good way to go #Fueled
- "Follow your gut, especially when you're hungry"
- Ask the why to develop the what
- PURPOSE! Purpose. Purpose. Purpose. Why is the design the way it is? The food? The style? Focusing on the intentional, human-centered design makes + food that is there for reason - it makes your biz rock.
- Cooking isn't just about having a restaurant - it's about a process, a story, relationships, people, having something to say - it's about food, community and collaboration.
Panel: Transparency in the Dairy Industry
- Carrie Mess - Went from never milking a cow to pro-Dairy Farmer and Founder of the DairyCarrie.com Blog
- Sue McCloskey - Founder and Farmer - Fairlife and Fair Oaks Farms
- Ellen Miseo - Chief Scientist, Illuminate & Food + Future
- This was interesting…I haven't consumed dairy in seven years…and truthfully, I have differing opinions and beliefs on dairy than the panelists. However, listening provided incredible perspective and I appreciate their passion for what they do
- We need good ass science
- Olive Oil is the most fraudulent food in the world (Milk second and Honey third)
- At the end of the day, food choice is important…and you should be well informed
An hour past the expected event ending time...and 110% worth it. I took the train (I may have messed that up a couple times..not the first time this has happened) and made it to the wonderful home of the friend of a friend who so generously provided me the comfiest couch (for four days) in Boston. Round two of fun began the next morning where I joined 20 people at the Food and Future HQ with Bitten to continue the conversation's from the evening's Salon through a workshop and rapid design-thinking process.

Newmarket C&TC Ashley A 11 miles TT
This is a hilly course and not my favourite. I also left it too late to do a decent warm up. I decided to not look at my Garmin tonight and tried to focus on spinning up the hills I struggle to ride up. The rest of the ride I went for it and tried to keep my speed up. The conditions were pretty windy in places as well, so I was really pleased on how the race went. I surprised myself with a PB of 31.28 and knocked 1.42 off my time. I was the 1st girl home tonight!
