Who Had the Better Week—Cuomo or Christie?
Both rock stars in their own right, both trying to right their states' ships, and both building serious momentum for a potential presidential run. Every Friday, we'll look at who's week will look better on a résumé come 2016.
Chris Christie
Same-sex marriage
Both houses of the New Jersey legislature passed bills legalizing same-sex marriage in the state this week, but proponents didn't score enough votes to override Governor Christie's promised veto.
On the one hand, this might leave Christie room to run in 2016 as the red governor in a blue state, who defended socially conservative principles from an overreaching legislature—let the people decide, not politicians! On the other hand, suggesting that same-sex marriage should be on a ballot instead, because he thinks "people would have been happy to have a referendum on civil rights rather than fighting and dying in the streets in the South," causes Rachel Maddow to make this face.
He's not going so far as to say the state should ban same-sex marriage, so he's taking a more moderate position than most of this year's Republican presidential candidates. But given that soundbite; the recent gains made by same-sex marriage advocates in California, Washington, and New York; and what a difference four years can make...
- Verdict: -1
Government waste
Christie renewed calls for New Jersey towns to share more services, citing the duplication of services from town to town as the second leading cause of high property tax bills. Studies show consolidation saves taxpayer money. A record of saving money and streamlining government? That'll do.
- Verdict: +1
Polling problem?
A new poll shows New Jersey voters warming up to President Obama, while Christie's favorability ratings in the state remain mostly static. Sixty percent of NJ voters view Obama favorably, up from 52 percent in November. Only 47 percent view Christie favorably.
The rock star status Christie enjoys nationwide kind of dilutes the importance of NJ polling, but it never looks good in a national election when your home state doesn't swing your way.
- Verdict: -2
Half-staff for Whitney?
Christie caught flak for his decision to fly flags at half-staff at state government buildings in honor of recently-deceased NJ native Whitney Houston. Detractors argued that honor should be reserved for members of the military, first responders, and elected officials. And that she was on drugs, which, well, we'll leave you to decide the strength of that one. Ultimately, the whole thing's pretty ticky-tacky.
- Verdict: 0
→ Chrstie's Week: -2
Andrew Cuomo
Education deal
Governor Cuomo brokered a deal between the state and its teacher unions regarding evaluation-based salaries. For some advocates, the deal is disappointing—even Cuomo admits there's more to be hammered out between the state and the union—but politically, Cuomo again gets to look like the adult in the room.
The move also saves $700 million that U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said the state would have to return if it didn't fulfill its Race to the Top requirement. Money saved, compromise forged—Cuomo's executive résumé just got a little bit longer, even if New Yorkers remain split on his handling of the issue.
- Verdict: +1
Mr. Popular
Cuomo's favorability rating remains high at 69 percent, according to a recent poll by Quinnipiac. Cuomo continues to have the best job rating of any governor in the seven states surveyed by Quinnipiac, viewed favorably by both Democrats and Republicans, men and women, urban and suburban. Another Quinnipiac poll out this week found voters trusted Cuomo more than the teachers' union. Great numbers to campaign on, if the honeymoon doesn't end too soon.
- Verdict: +1
Foreclosure van to the rescue?
Last week, on the same day that NY Attorney General Eric Schneiderman agreed to a $26 billion mortgage abuse settlement—which Schneiderman held out on until it was strong enough for his liking—Cuomo directed the Department of Financial Services to "assist homeowners dealing with foreclosure or the risk of foreclosure."
Really? The same day?
And while Schneiderman helped secure billions of dollars in mortgage relief, and argued for a tougher deal than was initially offered, Cuomo's offerings is to "send staff and our command center," to tell homeowners to "seek help as soon as you have a problem."
Feels a little bandwagon-esque, no? And kind of silly, as State Assemblywoman Helene Weinstein observed, considering Cuomo's plan involves little more than an actual wagon. "All that I've seen from that unit has been a van," she said. "Obviously, sending a van with staff to talk to homeowners...isn't going to solve the problem."
Pursuing mortgage fraud looks good, but Eric Schneiderman's already fighting this battle—and it looks like he's doing a pretty good job. Looks more like an attention grab than anything else.
- Verdict: 0
UPDATE: Cashing in on 'Linsanity'
On Friday afternoon Governor Cuomo announced yet another compromise, this time between MSG Network and Time Warner Cable. The standoff between network and cable provider has resulted in a blackout that kept Knicks fans across the state from watching sudden phenom point guard Jeremy Lin lead the team to a 7-game winning streak.
It's unclear whether Andrew Cuomo really did anything here (it's more a testament to "Linsanity" than anything else), but it looks like it's a victory he'll claim nonetheless. And it's good fodder for memes (h/t Megan Finn).
- Verdict: Style points, but that's it
→ Cuomo's Week: +2

DIY Bookcase / Librero
It's been 5 years since we move from Belgium to Mexico, and there are still unopened boxes ! Ok, that was easier when we change home two years ago, but it's time to deal with this problem!
Most of the boxes contain books and comics, so a library was needed! I've always loved this Bookcase created by Charlotte Perriand, so I took some inspiration of it. The original is better, but don't fit in my budget!
Hace 5 años que nos mudamos desde Bélgica hasta México, y aún hay cajas sin abrir! Bueno fue mas fácil cuando nos cambiamos de casa hace dos años, pero ha llegado el momento de resolver el problema!
La mayoría de las cajas contienen libros y cómics, por lo que se necesitaba una biblioteca ! Siempre me ha gustado esta biblioteca creada por Charlotte Perriand, entonces la tomé como inspiration. El original es mejor, pero no cabe en mi presupuesto!
I did cut the plywood boards with a carpenter,on the following dimensions:
A/ 16 pieces of 10" x 10"
B/ 4 pieces of 10" x 63"
C/ 1 piece of 10" x 36.5"
D/ 4 pieces of 5 "x 10"
E/ 1 piece of 5" x 36.5"
Hice cortar los paneles de triplay con un carpintero, con las siguientes dimensiones:
A/ 16 piezas de 25 cm x 25 cm
B/ 4 piezas de 25 cm x 160 cm
C/ 1 pieza de 25 cm x 93 cm
D/ 4 piezas de 12 cm x 25 cm
E/ 1 pieza de 12cm x 93 cm
A small sketch to make it clear:
The first step was to glue two by two the "A" pieces, to make the vertical parts. I used wood glue and clamps to hold them together until it was well stuck.
I did the same with the D pieces to make the base.
I sanded all the pieces, flat and edges (booooring part). I stained shelves in chocolate color and applied transparent varnish on the other pieces. I like the contrast between the two colors, this can work with any other colors combinations, give a try.
El primer paso consistió en pegar de dos en dos las piezas "A", para hacer las partes verticales.
He utilizado pegamento para madera y abrazaderas para sujetar las juntas el tiempo que se seque el pegamento.
Hice lo mismo con las piezas D para hace la base.
Lijé todas las piezas, bordes y planos (aburriiiiiiiiido). He teñido los estantes color chocolate y apliqué un barniz transparente sobre las otras piezas.
I assembled the D and E pieces to make the base of the bookcase. You have to put the D pieces perpendicular to the E piece, put some glue between the pieces and then fasten with two screws on each side.
Armé las partes D y E para hacer la base de la biblioteca. Tiene que poner las piezas D perpendicular a la pieza E, poner un poco de pegamento entre las piezas y luego fijar con dos tornillos en cada lado.
Then I did the same with the C piece and two A pieces (after gluing them 2 by 2) to make the back of the bookcase.
Luego hice lo mismo con la pieza C y de dos piezas A (después de pegarlas 2 por 2) para hacer la parte de atrás del librero.
After, I assemble three A pieces with a B shelve. I put glue on the shelf and lay the A above, be sure they are verticals. I did it twice.
Después, ensamblé tres piezas A con un estante B. Puse pegamento en el estante y coloque la pieza A encima, fijense que sean verticales. Lo hice dos veces.
Almost done, we can start to assemble the shelves, put the base on the floor ad some glue and put a shelve on top. Use clamps or weights (books or tool box) to have a good adherence. Then add glue and put the other part on top, and so on....until the last shelf!
Ya casi terminamos, podemos empezar a armar la partes, colocar la base en el piso, poner un poco de pegamento y poner un estante en la parte superior. Utilice abrazaderas o pesos (libros o caja de heramientas) para presionar y tener una buena adherencia. A continuación, agregue pegamento y colocar la otra repisa en la parte superior, y así sucesivamente .... Hasta el último estante!
I hope you like it, and explanations will allow you to realize one! Do not hesitate to ask me questions if you have any doubt!
Espero que les gusta, y que las explicaciones las ayudaran a realisar uno! Preguntan me si les queda duda!

Hi There.ReplyDelete
Thanks for this tutorial, my friend and I made this bookcase.
We used 18mm ply as 16 wasn't available in SA and I made the longest part shorter (120cm instead or 160cm)
This was to fit in the space available but it was still too wide for the space so he put it sideways and it looks good!
Making it 120cm made it so it fit onto one sheet of plywood (only cost R450 or $42).
Below is the link to my write up with photos. https://www.facebook.com/woodanddesignsa
So nice! Thanks to let me know, you make my day!Delete
I just made this! I used dowels along with glue for extra strength but it worked out perfectly, thanks so much for such a clear walkthroughReplyDeleteReplies
You are welcome! I would love to see your bookcase! You can leave a link in the comments if you want to!Delete
I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this bookshelf! Thank you so much for sharing and for giving such great instructions and photos! This is definitely going to be my next weekend project...in fact, I am going to make 2 of these...one for each of my son's rooms! I am hoping these will inspire them to keep stuff off the floor! Thank you again...this is absolutely beautiful! And, BTW, I love your stick art wall-hanging that starts as a hexagon but looks like a cube...might have to make that one too!! :DReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Erin! Have fun making the bookshelf! My kids have a spot in the bookcase to store them books...but they seem to think that's much more practical to spread them on the floor. Let me know how it works with your boys!Delete
This is absolutely fabulous! :)ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing! Merci, gracias!
Greetings from HelsinkiReplies
Hi Aikku, I'm glad you like it! Thanks for your comment! A bientot, Saludos.Delete
Hi! I'd like to know how much did you spend approximately. I know it's been a long time but I'm on a budget so it would help to know that. Congrats on your blog!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hello, I would say around 80 dollars. You just need plywood, stain, varnish and glue.Delete
wow it's awesome .... :)ReplyDelete
Doesn't look like my question was posted properly so I'll ask again...ReplyDelete
1) is c necessary?
2) how did you make the edges of the ply look nice?Replies
Hello Joe,Delete
Sorry for my late answer. I didn't saw your message.
I wanted to be sure that the shelf was strong enough. Books are quite heavy and I wanted to avoid any risk of bending, it's why I added the C piece. If you plan on using the shelf for displaying lighter items, I think it will work without the C piece. I asked for the plywood cut at my hardware store, and then I sanded every piece. Starting with a 60 grit paper and finishing with a 150 grit for a smooth finish. I hope it will help you to complete your project! Have fun crafting.
What kind of plywood did you use? Right now I'm thinking I will use birch veneer.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hello Emma, I used 16 mm plywood. You can pick any veneer finish you like, it will look great.Delete

"It's a diversion for me, a mental respite. Watching soccer is my main hobby, really. I'm no tactician or coach, but I enjoy watching the free flow of it, the different styles, and the histories behind clubs. Like Barcelona vs. Madrid — it's not just a soccer game; it's a geopolitical struggle. There are great storylines, and no commercials."

Please see picture - How to hide surface imperfections before painting
Please see picture below
I am moving the chair rail up by 4" (This is a old home and chair rail was at 28", and I am moving to 32" from the floor). So i removed the chair rail, sanded the wall and primed. But I can't get the old paint, surface roughness even after sanding and priming. As you can see in the picture on left the old 'band' is still visible after priming with Bulls eye 123 primer.
Any ideas how to hide this 'band' that bleeds throught the primer? Should I use a alkyd based primer?http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...r/DSC01799.jpghttp://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...r/DSC01800.jpg
the job of a primer is not to so much hide the differences as much as it is to seal the difference, so that when you paint those "differences" do not bleed through your topcoat. In addition the primer is not designed to blend dissimilar surfaces - if the wall is rough in one area but smooth in another you should take care of that before priming - either by sanding, skimcoating with joint compound, or whatever works for you. Hope that helps you some..Good luck!

Baron and Gilbert Claim Men's Basketball Weekly Honors
Release: December 31, 2012
Related Links
Billy Baron, Canisius, Jr., G, 6-2, 195, East Greenwich, R.I./Rhode Island

In the team's loss to Detroit on the road Dec. 30, Baron scored a team-high 20 points while matching his career-high with eight boards. He was also credited with seven assists in the loss to the Titans, the 10th time this year he's recorded five or more assists in a game.

Female high school students spend more than three hours browsing their phones each weekday, a government survey has revealed.
But male students were less fixated, spending just over two hours a day, the survey by the Internal Affairs and Communications Ministry said Thursday.
The ministry surveyed about 15,000 students in the Tokyo area and found that almost 85 percent use a smartphone, with girls slightly outnumbering boys.
Moreover, about 5 percent of female and 4 percent of male respondents could be characterized as Internet addicts if gauged by an internationally recognized test of 20 indicators.
Many admit having online acquaintances they have never met in real life. The average exceeded 19 each, outnumbering their 15 real-life friends. Those falling into the addict category reported having 93 online friends on average.
Does mobile phone use detract from real life? More than one in three said it eats into studying time and 40 percent said it reduces their sleeping time.

I had the pleasure of working with Ebisu Circuit on this collab tee for MotorMavens. These shirts really turned out great. They are available NOW in the MotorMavens Online Store! Don't sleep on these – they are going FAST.

The electronic complexity that lies beneath my car's tattered metal has plagued and taunted me since I started drifting it. After a bigger headache than I ever thought possible with this car, I was FINALLY able to completely, 110% without a doubt disable the ABS/DSC without throwing the car into limp-mode. BUT HOW?!I pulled one teeny tiny li'l wheel speed sensor from the rear of the car. That's it. I've been told that pulling all four sensors works on E36 cars, but the E46 models have a stricter set of electronics, so when the car doesn't get a speed reading, it declares that as a problem worthy of limp-mode. I encountered the same issue when I pulled both of the rear sensors (leaving the fronts). The trick here, is to only pull one. That way the car still pulls a reading from the other side, and just registers the pulled sensor as a fault… keeping the car revving like a champ.I did hours and hours of research on this subject, and found many people asking how to fully disable ABS/DSC, but never got a straight answer on how to do it. People seemed more content ridiculing those asking the question than pondering a useful solution. Hopefully this trick will help those that need to disable it, but keep in mind – I am not liable for any action taken based on this post. I needed to do this for my track car, and I would not recommend this for ANY street car. In fact, if I could have kept ABS functioning, and still keep use of my hydraulic e-brake, I would have done so. ABS has saved my ass quite a few times – even on the track.This effectively closes the chapter on my lengthy saga on this subject. I can now use my hydraulic e-brake free and clear of limp-mode. The e-brake works AMAZING. It will take some acclimation to driving without ABS, but I'm sure I will get used to it. One thing is for sure… I can't wait to use this e-brake at Road Atlanta in the spring!
I was pretty stoked to pick up the November issue of Super Street to find the MotorMavens logo on the All Star Bash coverage that Antonio shot! One of these days I will make it out to California for one of these events. One of these days.

Philadelphia Wedding In October
"Check out the scariest fall attraction in the area. Eastern State Penitentiary is an 11-acre abandoned prison. It stands today in ruin, a lost world of crumbling cellblocks and empty guard towers. This gothic structure, with stark towers and soaring fortress walls, is eerie enough during the day. At night, the cellblocks fall into darkness, and the building becomes truly terrifying. There have been dozens of reported ghost sightings at Eastern State Penitentiary. The penitentiary has been featured on The Travel Channel's Most Haunted Live, Fox Television's World's Scariest Places, TLC's America's Ghost Hunters, and MTV's FEAR.

Notable inmates include Al Capone and Willie Sutton (the 11th person to be added to the FBI's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list). "The facility has been kept in 'preserved ruin,' meaning that no significant attempts have been made for renovations or upkeep.

Is a sway bar upgrade the best bang for buck upgrade to suspension?

How could sways be overkill?
A huge front bar is what causes the understeer and piss poor turn in! What size bars do you have? I have Bilstein sports, H&R race on my 330ci, the 27/24 bars had good balance as a stand alone change but add too much stiffness when used with these shocks/springs. Suppleness and agility are my goals for a street car. So, I went for similar balance with stock front 23.5? front and 21mm rear bars. Neutral handling is the goal here but not so stiff that it bounces around! Too stiff a front bar will limit power application coming out of corners. Had this problem with stock suspension, lights flashing all the time. Only time they flash now is when the snows are on!
People contemplating sways need to study up and know what the heck they're doing before buying any old set of bars. It's like people that think huge wheels are tires are the way too better handling, NOT!

I too would like to hear more from people that have shot/carry the 36. I am thinking about it for a BUG carried in an ankle holster. If anyone has a similar setup I would like to hear what you think and what type of ankle holster that you use.
I know an ex-agent that carries in the similar format and he swears by Glock and .45, but I would like to hear more.

I was checking out Gina Trapani's post about the Twitter attack and and noticed this little picture in the lower right corner that said,
Intrigued, I had to follow the link.
Turns out Anil Dash (@anildash) created the site to enourage people to not jump on the latest technology as it has many benefits including reducing the impact on the environment. I remember Lifehacker did a post a while back about saving money by buying one generation back technology and smiled because I agree!
When people are focused on consumption, it creates competition, stress and anxiety. Expecially with technology, people don't take the time to know the nooks and crannies before they move on. It also creates financial pressure to keep up with the Jones' which I find to be something we should get over sooner than later as it interferes with altruism. Much of our "stress" in modern society is created by artificial wants vs essential needs. The line becomes blurred and people end up feeling vaguely dissatisfied all the time but can't put a finger to the cause.
Case in point, how many people out there still don't know how to copy and paste using keyboard shortcuts and they've owned more than one computer in their lifetime?
I personally have a digital camera that I used all the way until this year, a Canon A70, that I bought in 2004. My multi-function printer, a Canon MP780 was purchased used on Ebay in 2006 and works great plus my non OEM ink from Abacus 24-7 costs me less than $3.00 per color.
How about you? What older technology are you keeping around because it works just find for your needs?

Brian Dodd's schedule requires seemingly endless energy. Just talking about everything he's got going on and coming up requires a big breath.
"Fortunately, the state has declared March to be Music in Our Schools month. It definitely will be here," he says, rattling off a list of no less than a half-dozen contests, concerts and special events on his calendar for an equal number of musical groups at the school, all of which he directs, many of which he started.
"We've got basketball pep band, the jazz band has three performances next month, we've got a concert here, we've got a concert with Hiland on the 22nd. We've got the festival of the arts, we've got the large group contest, we're taking the jazz band to West Liberty College in West Virginia for a big jazz festival down there. We've got our spaghetti supper. ... We also have the musical here," he said of the school's theatrical drama, West Side Story, slated for March 9 and 10, with musicians from the band providing the musical score.
Dodd joined the West Holmes High School faculty two years ago as band director. He came to West Holmes from the East Knox school district. But he admits that growing up, he might not have been exactly sure which city in Ohio to call home.
"I was one of these kids who moved a lot. Before I was in fifth grade, I'd moved 11 times," said Dodd, who grew up with two brothers and a sister; his dad worked as an insurance company appraiser. By the time Dodd entered high school, his dad had left the insurance business and the family settled in Philo, where Dodd sang with the chorus and played percussion in the marching band until he graduated.
When he began studies at Ohio State he knew music would be his major.
"Knowing it and admitting it are two different things," he joked when asked at what point in his life he knew he wanted to make his passion his profession.
Dodd joined the East Knox district as soon as he graduated from Ohio State. He directed the band and the chorus at the high school, which is about half the size of West Holmes High School. Dodd took a field of dreams approach in his musical tenure at East Knox High School. He built the programs. And the students came.
"Between my band and choir, I had just under half of the student body in my program," Dodd says proudly, noting that in 14 years, he saw the band and choir grow from 28 to 158.
Dodd's success at East Knox comes as no surprise to the people he works with at West Holmes.
"He's an extraordinary individual. I think he's directly responsible for getting our numbers up and bringing the enthusiasm to the band that the students exhibit," said West Holmes High School Principal Michael Dorr.
Choral director Jed Baker agreed. In April, 121 band and chorus members and chaperones will travel to Orlando together to deliver performances at Disney's Magic Kingdom. Baker, who has directed the choir at West Holmes for 25 years, said the trip is the first the chorus and band have taken together, and he gives Dodd much of the credit for marshaling the energy and resources for making it happen.
"I've always wanted to try it together with the band, and just never had the opportunity," Baker said. Though Dodd clearly is proud of his students for being chosen from thousands of high school bands to perform at Orlando, he is reluctant to list accomplishments of his first two years at West Holmes. He says he has merely built on the success of the strong band program built by his predecessor, Roger Wheeler, led the West Holmes Band for 27 years and now teaches fifth-grade band for the West Holmes district.
"I inherited a nice program here," Dodd said. "Last year, I think we were at 120 (members) between the two concert bands, this year, there are about 152 in instrumental music," he said, adding of those 152 students, about 100 played in the marching band.
He said his goals for the program are simple. He wants every student in every program to be the best they can be.
"I want the kids to excel in all the programs," he said, explaining that he's known band directors who pick and choose. He's not one of them, he said.
"Call me selfish. I want all the groups to be the best at what they do," he said with a laugh, adding he has goals for each musical group he directs. He wants to see fewer empty seats in the concert band and symphonic band.
"I want to expand and get more kids involved with solo and ensemble contests. I want to start them into doing some of the large group contests. I want them to see that the concert band and symphonic band can be just as exciting as marching band," he said.
Hearing him talk about the fun kids have with marching band he might have his work cut out for him.
"I've changed the style of the marching band a little bit. We do a lot of dancing," he said. In past shows, marchers have attached glo-sticks to their heads to create neon-lit designs on the field. The half-time shows have grown so popular. fans, both parents and students, wait for a finale after games.
"We do a victory celebration after the games," he said. "It's amazing how many people have started to stick around to watch that."
And though Dodd speaks in the past tense when talking about his days with the East Knox district, in many ways the present tense still applies. Every school day, Dodd commutes 45 minutes each way to West Holmes High School. He has been known to spend the night at the school.
"We had to leave so early Saturday morning, and the forecast was for such lousy weather, that trip can sometimes be more than two hours. I just stayed here Friday night and did some paperwork," Dodd said of his sleep over at the school before the solo and ensemble contest in Mansfield in January.
Dodd concurred he hopes he and his family will relocate to Holmes County soon. Dodd is married with three young children; his eldest daughter just started playing with the fifth-grade band.
"There are times I still miss those kids," Dodd said of his students at East Knox. "I do like it here, I'm having a ball. I'm having fun teaching the kids. I enjoy coming to work," he said with a smile. "And I want my children in this district. I want (my daughter) up here in this music program."

ARMANI 'Acqua Di GiÒ' essenza eau de parfum
Item No.1170899241
Item No.1170899241
Acqua di gio essenza is the new scent supposedly a timeless and intense reinterpretation of the original. Described as intensely carnal and sensual, it is less focused on marine and more on woody and ambery accords. The creator of the perfume is once again Alberto Morillas. The composition begins with luminous tones of cascalone molecule, which captures the olfactory experience of cold and fresh water, sparkling citrusy bergamot and grapefruit. The heart bares floral and aromatic accords of jasmine, basil and sage, as well as explosive floral paradisone molecule, while the base combines notes of patchouli, cedar, vetiver, ambrox, ambergris, pepper and clary sage.

Larry Sherk's label collection starts in 1871, with two beautifully preserved Dow Brewery labels from Montreal, and ends in the 1980s, with foil-faced labels from Carling O'Keefe. The labels make you want to drink beer, but they also make you want to remember where you came from.
That isn't just the Doppelbock talking: Human beings have been pouring beer down their throats for at least 4,600 years, and brewing has been a part of Canadian history since a Jesuit brother named Ambroise first brewed beer at Sillery in Quebec in 1642.
The history of brewing is the history of Canadian monopoly capitalism: An enterprising type starts a local brewery to such keen neighbourhood enthusiasm that he attracts competition. The competitors multiply or merge or push each other out of business until a few big brewers control the game, whereupon the quality of beer goes flat until a new generation takes on the dull monopolists.
John Molson started Canada's oldest extant brewery in Montreal in 1786. A hundred years later, there were more than 180 breweries in the land.
A hundred years after that, E.P. Taylor – the heir to Bradings Brewery near Ottawa – had consolidated the number to fewer than 10 independents, all in the name of economies of scale.
The new craft brewers represent the beginning of another cycle of enterprise. One reason Larry Sherk handed off his label collection was that he couldn't keep up with the start-ups. Thirty years ago, there were (arguably) three microbrewers. Today, even in Ontario, where the ghosts of Methodists still waft among the liquor laws, 70 craft brewers compete for $10.5-million in craft-beer sales, or about 5 per cent of the market. Sales of craft beer grew faster than any other category at the Liquor Control Board of Ontario.
Nearly 13 per cent of the beer sold in British Columbia is microbrew, where sales have doubled to $111-million in the past five years. Even Molson has announced plans to jump into the "craft" vat (which thrills the independents no end, I can tell you).
The more you look at Larry's labels, they more they tell you. The collection has a beery, Proustian- prost effect, summoning ancient brands still remembered passionately in one region but unheard of everywhere else: Kuntz in Waterloo, Kiewel White Seal in Saint Boniface, Adanac in Regina, Big Horn in Calgary, Northwestern in Edmonton, Uncle Ben's in B.C., Red Ball in New Brunswick. Blue Top! Haig Caribou! Swill! When Edmonton's Northwest Brewing Company introduced Bohemian Maid beer, anyone could stop at the brewery for a free one.
I switched to the Flying Monkeys Smashbomb Atomic IPA, from Barrie, Ont. It was like drinking something spicy off a pretty girl's skin.
I thought: Why is it when you love something local, it makes you love your country too?
That was a beer thought.
The way from beer to here
And why does Larry Sherk collect what he collects?
Here is one reason: because he can. "It all started 40 years ago," he says over his second pint, a golden, V-shaped glass of Sawdust City's Ol' Woody Alt. It was 1972; he was 36 years old; he had a blank wall in his apartment. He discovered beer trays could cover the emptiness. He still owns 200 of them.
Beer trays led to beer labels, beer mats, beer-bottle caps (collectors call them crowns), beer matchbook covers, beer-related sports schedules, coasters, openers, catalogues, tap handles and cans. "The beer cans are a problem in my house," Larry says; he has 4,000 of them, "plus or minus."
Presumably, so are his 120 bubbas – a bubba being a five-litre can – which include 16 from the 18-can series from Unibrou printed with historic Quebec scenes. He owns 1,500 stand-up, brand-related table cards. He has lived in the same house for 38 years.Report Typo/Error

Rhetorical Resources for Teaching Responsible Communication of Science
Iowa State University
Ames, IA USA
Poroi 10,1 (January 2014)
Keywords: rhetoric of science, science communication, science communication education, science communication ethics, science-policy interface
Teaching has traditionally been one of the offices of rhetoric. Although the genres of interest have varied, rhetoricians over the ages have managed to find steady work in helping young people become adept at the communication tasks their culture values. Indeed, much of what today passes as classical rhetorical theory was originally lore in textbooks, or at best teachers' manuals.
Contemporary rhetorical scholars likewise encounter many opportunities to do the important work of supporting scientists, engineers and other experts as they learn how to share their knowledge with non-expert audiences. The national demand for such instruction is evident in the rise of programs like Stony Brook's Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science (Grushkin, 2010), the American Association for the Advancement of Science's Communicating Science program (AAAS, 2013), and NSF's Science: Becoming the Messenger workshops. More locally, we expect that other members of ARST receive the same requests we do to participate in training workshops directed to STEM grad students, faculty, and science communication professionals.
The goal of the Teaching Responsible Communication of Science project (TRCS) at Iowa State University is to enrich such training programs with a rhetorical perspective. In particular, we are developing case-based pedagogical materials that explore the normative dimensions of science communication, encouraging scientists to reflect on the roles (officia) they can productively play in civic deliberations. Through these cases, we want to help scientists to move from asking how to communicate, to asking why. We want to add to training in rhetorical skills, the cultivation of rhetorical judgment. In sum, we aim leverage the current interest in effective communication by adding a dimension of responsible, appropriate, ethical communication as well.
At the same time, our work in the TRCS project contributes a rhetorical perspective to the growing body of research on science communication. This interdisciplinary topic is being explored by colleagues in fields such as risk communication, crisis communication, health communication, and environmental communication, as well as by scholars from practitioner communities such as science journalists and public information officers. Due to the largely social scientific orientation of these scholars, however, the ethical dimension of communication has gone largely unexplored. As a recent survey of the literature concluded, even as "science communication has been made the object of increasing political and academic attention," the topic "has gone almost unnoticed as an area of serious, ethical concern" (Meyer & Sandøe, 2012). But normativity is what rhetoricians do best. The humanistic perspective provided by rhetorical inquiry can address the ethics gap. By investigating cases in which scientists have met and managed significant communication challenges, we aim to develop a more robust theory of scientists' communicative obligations in the public sphere.
Overall, we see the pedagogical and theory-building goals of the TRCS project as complementary. The deeper understandings of science communication ethics we develop through case-based research serve to enrich the case-based pedagogy. The pedagogy, in turn, keeps the rhetorical theory answerable to the communicators who can use it.
In terms of specifics, the TRCS project team is led by a rhetorician and includes a science communication scholar in the AEJMC tradition, a philosopher, an educational assessment specialist, and a research assistant from the sciences. We collaborate with a science advisory board and a team of fifteen instructors from science and communication disciplines who are testing our materials in universities across the nation. Given the lack of any overarching theory of science communication ethics, we are building from the ground up. We interview scientists across a range of policy-relevant fields, asking them to identify cases in which they themselves or their colleagues met significant challenges when communicating with the public. With help from our advisory board, we identify the most promising cases for further investigation and then interview participants in it representing a variety of perspectives. We will be developing nine case studies over the three years of the grant; three are currently in draft, and can give a sense of what we are aiming at.
The Midwest Climate Statement explores issues raised in the drafting of a public statement that used the severe drought of 2012 as a "teachable moment" to bring issues of climate change adaptation and mitigation before the citizens of an affected state. Questions raised by this case include: Who has scientific authority to speak on the issues? What is the purpose of the communication? Should uncertainties, limitations, and disclaimers be mentioned? What if any sorts of action is it appropriate for scientists to call for? When does scientific advice cross over into advocacy?
Monarchs in the Corn focuses on John Losey's decision to publish a controversial article reporting his preliminary results that indicated that monarch butterfly larvae were harmed when they consumed milkweed dusted with transgenic corn pollen. Questions raised by this case include: Is it appropriate for scientists to take possible public response into account when deciding how to present research findings in print? What features of a scientific article are relevant to the decision about whether or not it is ready for publication?
Science Headlines looks at how the conflicting interests of scientists and public information officers play out in selecting a headline for a press release of a controversial study of environmental-scale effects of GMO crops. Questions raised by this case include: How do the responsibilities in communicating science through academic journals differ from communicating through press releases? How should politically sensitive science be communicated to a general audience? When, if ever, can researchers appropriately be held responsible for the social impacts that result from their public communication with the media?
One outcome of our initial interviews with scientists is a preliminary survey of the sorts of ethical issues in communicating science of which scientists are aware. In addition to already well-documented concerns about the legitimacy of advocacy by scientists (Goodwin, 2012), we are finding recognition of problems in managing authority (e.g., what to say when you don't know), in dealing with those who dismiss sound science (i.e., manufactured controversy, Ceccarelli, 2011) and in the difference between "hyping" and legitimately publicizing results.
Interviews focused on specific cases should in addition allow us to give fine-grained accounts of the ethical challenges of communicating complex science in an equally complex political environment. In the Midwest Climate Statement case, for example, we may be able to trace how the scientist-drafters of the statement fell into three different groups, each with its own definition of the rhetorical situation—audience, exigence, and constraints. Because it integrated the goals of these diverse perspectives, the text that emerged from their negotiations was resilient against a range of skeptical challenges.
Overall, the tradition rhetoricians inherit positions us to observe some of what can go wrong in scientists' rhetorical practices. We are also well positioned to observe the limitations of the relentlessly practical orientation of contemporary communication training for scientists. In the Teaching Responsible Communication of Science project, we look forward to using the rhetoricians' position as a fulcrum for shifting, slightly, both the scholarly conversation about and communication pedagogy for science communication. We hope to accomplish what Leah Ceccarelli (2013) has called "the shift from understanding to action" by taking our well-honed "ability to discern" and implementing it through our traditional, albeit modest, office: teaching.

Controversy arises over bench atop Manitou Springs Incline
MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. - The first test of the new government authority of the Manitou Incline will be over a bench meant to honor a slain soldier and his wife.
Dan Lewis, a board member on the city of Colorado Springs Parks and Advisory Board, objects to plans that went public Thursday to remove the bench.
"I'm concerned that it's insensitive and against common sense," said Lewis.
Karen Palus, director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services for the City of Colorado Springs, told the board that the removal of the bench is a joint decision between the city and the U.S. Forest Service. The Forest Service owns the land but the park is maintained by Colorado Springs.
Palus said those who assembled the bench did it without getting permits.
"It's unfortunate that they did this without getting permission first," said Palus.
The bench was carried up the Incline in pieces by friends of David and Whitney Dunlap. They said it's meant to honor the Fort Carson soldier and his pregnant wife who were killed in their home in January during a break-in. David Dunlap was a staff sergeant and helicopter mechanic for Fort Carson's combat aviation brigade. His wife was pregnant at the time of the murder.
Ted Smith, who participated in the Incline haul, said the project took close to five hours and 40 people to complete. The bench weighs 1,000 pounds according to Smith.
Many users found the tribute touching.
"It's not like it's some garish thing," said Robin Theryoung. "Its a beautiful bench that serves a purpose for people to sit on and I don't see how it's hurting anyone."
Lewis said the removal of the bench goes against the spirit of the popular hiking trail.
"I understand that not everyone can place a bench up the Incline but the reasoning is pure behind it and the work was already done," said Lewis. "The intent is to put four more benches on the Incline so it doesn't make sense that this one has to come down."
According to Lewis, Friends of the Incline are planning to put those benches up but the application process is still a few months away. He feels removing the Dunlap bench would be counterproductive.
"One of the things I was concerned about with the recent legalization of the Incline was over-regualtion by the Forest Service, by Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services and by the cities that were involved in making it legal," said Lewis.
Palus said she'd like to talk with those behind the tribute about going through the proper channels for putting a bench on the Incline but has been unable to.

WikiLeaks reminds me of a car wreck – you know it's horrible, but you have to look as you drive by. Now the WikiLeaks spotlight is on Apple and their continuing battle with counterfeit products made in China. Since Apple's real products are made in China, catching counterfeiters becomes difficult, especially when Chinese intellectual property enforcement is, well, rudimentary.
But Apple should get props for fighting the good fight, and you can read the text of the smoking gun memo at CNN.com. Apple called in the group that helped Pfizer find and close bogus Viagra factories. Too bad they didn't shut off the spam pipeline advertising those pills.
The American Embassy in Beijing couldn't avoid the obvious pun (Apple Takes Bit out of Chines Fakes), and netizens can't avoid commenting on Apple news. Some think Apple is doing their best, some think Apple is slacking, and some don't like any part of this mess.
Apple is fighting the good fight
Ultimately, the best approach to solving the problem is to roll out Apple Stores wide and far, so that Chinese consumers know what a real Apple product looks like and thus are able to spot the fakes themselves.ChKen on cnn.com
Note to Apple: Identify every part in your products built in China, and locate US companies who can provide the same parts at the same cost (I can assure you that there are companies here that could do this). Eliminate China from the vendor picture.axual on appleinsider.com
I have found the easiest way to spot a fake is to look at the packaging which is often overlooked.. most of the counterfeit products are run on the same machines at the real ones which don't include the packaging systems.LanMark17 on cnet.com
Apple is a lightweight fighting Chinese heavyweights
haha and does Apple actually think that the chinese will do anything about this 'problem'?T Van Anger on latimes.com
Well, I'm loving seeing Apple's lawyers being described by the US government as inexperienced :-) Gives some levity to the work those imperious, trigger-happy buffoons do...donwarne on cnet.com
If they're run on the same line, then one really cannot call it a fake. One can only call it a device for which Apple received no money.paulej on cnet.com
It's China, don't be surprised
I'm sure the Chinese authorities will be all over this and protect Apple's IP!dbtinc on appleinsider.com
You do not understand how China works, it is simply a job program, their goal is to have as many people working as possible, they do not allow automation to the extent that a human can do the job.Maestro64 on appleinsider.com
I've purchased many products from sources around the globe. It is not uncommon for parts from China to be less half the cost of the cheapest U.S. manufacturer. And that's even assuming that you can still find the product manufactured in the U.S.jragosta on appleinsider.com
Perhaps moving manufacturing to South or Central America might be a better idea. At least the corruption is closer to home, and perhaps easier to deal with.Gromit801 on cnet.com
Can Apple stop Chinese counterfeits? (Yes / No).

Myers Joins Team at Citizens State Bank
3/6/2014 by
BRETT MYERS has returned to banking at Citizens State Bank, in Teague, after a short sabbatical when he was Business Manager for 3-W Ranch Supply. He has been hired as Assistant Vice President and Loan Officer for the bank.
Teague is welcoming Brett Myers back into the banking business with his new position as Assistant Vice President and Loan Officer at Citizens State Bank, in Teague.
Brett started working at Citizens National Bank, in Teague, for Jim Lawrence when he graduated from Texas A&M in December of 1993.?I thought I would be there for four or five years or so and get some experience but it turned into 16 years, said Myers.
Four years ago Citizens National Bank underwent some changes and the bank changed hands several times before becoming Prosperity Bank. About that time Brandon Whitaker came and asked Brett if he would come and work as the business manager for the three businesses under the 3-W name. Brett said, ?I was ready for a change and decided to take the job. It was a good job and I enjoyed looking at the financial aspect of business from the other side. I think this will make me a better loan officer.?
Brett Meyers is engaged to Andee Vance of Teague and they have Brett?s daughters Grayson, age 13 who attends Teague Junior High School in the 7th grade, Gabby who is nine and is in 4th grade at Teague Intermediate School and Andee?s son Lane, 11 years old, who is in 6th grade at Teague Junior High School.
Assistant Vice President, Brett Meyers began his first day with Citizens State Bank on February 18, 2014. ?I hope I can pick up where I left off serving my former customers and making new ones, said Meyers. ?I love getting back to working with people and helping them however we can.?
His favorite part of the job is to work with the people and keep active in his community. Brett is secretary for the Teague Rodeo Association and plays a major role in The Teague Buyers Group. He is a deacon at First Baptist Church in Teague and is a member of the Teague ISD School Board.
Vice President Sherrie Noland commented, ?We are looking forward to having Brett at Citizens State Bank.? Citizens State Bank has been open in Teague since September of 2010.

Growth kinetics and long-term stability of CdS nanoparticles in aqueous solution under ambient conditions

The ubiquity of naturally occurring nanoparticles in the aquatic environment is now widely accepted, but a better understanding of the conditions that promote their formation and persistence is needed. Using cadmium sulfide (CdS) as a model metal sulfide species, thiolate-capped CdS nanoparticles were prepared in the laboratory to evaluate how aquatic conditions influence metal sulfide nanoparticle growth and stability. This work examines CdS nanoparticle growth directly in aqueous solution at room temperature by utilizing the size-dependent spectroscopic properties of semiconductors detectable by UV/vis. CdS nanoparticle growth was governed by oriented attachment, a non-classical mechanism of crystallization in which small precursor nanoparticles coalesce to form larger nanoparticle products. Nanoparticle growth was slowed with increasing capping agent and decreasing ionic strength. In addition to examining the short-term (hours) growth of the nanoparticles, a long-term study was conducted in which cysteine-capped CdS nanoparticles were monitored over 3 weeks in solutions of various ionic strengths. The long-term study revealed an apparent shift from small nanoparticles to nanoparticles twice their original size, suggesting nanoparticle growth may continue through oriented attachment over longer time scales. High-ionic strength solutions resulted in salt-induced aggregation and eventual settling of nanoparticles within days, whereas low-ionic strength solutions were stable against settling over the course of the experiment. Sulfide recovery from cysteine-capped CdS nanoparticles as acid volatile sulfide was nearly quantitative after 2 weeks in fully oxygenated water, demonstrating significantly slowed oxidation of sulfide when complexed to Cd(II) within CdS nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were also shown to be resistant to oxidation by Fe(III) (hydr)oxide. This study illustrates that aggregation, rather than chemical oxidation, is likely more important to the lifetime of many metal sulfide nanoparticles in the aquatic environment.
