COVID-19 update: Client advice on what to do during the Coronavirus crisis
Is my pet in pain or just getting old?
To help identify signs of pain in older pets that are often mistaken for old age, take our quizzes or watch the video to see if your pet is suffering from mobility-related pain.
As cats and dogs get older, there are many visible signs of them aging, such as greying around the muzzle, sleeping more and exercising less. There are also subtler signs that are commonly mistaken for signs of aging, that are actually signs of pain, including behavioural changes as well as alterations to your pet's physical activities.
If you have a pet over the age of 7, please take a couple of minutes to complete one of our quizzes, which can help you identify some common signs of joint pain, or watch the video below.

text: Updated 2016 This tiny Caribbean country is sandwiched between Mexico and Guatemala and in many ways it feels frozen in time. With a population of around 300,000 people, it's one of the smallest countries in the region, but it's becoming a popular tourist destination for several key reasons. English is the official language so it's very easy to get deep into the culture even if you don't know another language, and it's still much cheaper than most of the Caribbean islands it otherwise resembles.

It may soon be a felony for a detained or incarcerated person to vomit on a law enforcement officer.
The Senate Judiciary, Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Standing Committee approved SB97 Wednesday, which places vomit on the list of substances that are a third-degree felony to "propel" at a law officers' face.
The list already includes saliva, blood, urine and fecal material. The proposed bill, sponsored by Sen. Jerry Stevenson, R-Layton, also adds infectious agents or materials tainted with infectious agents to the list.
The committee also passed a separate proposed bill, SB98, which makes it a class B misdemeanor to intentionally throw or propel those bodily substances, including saliva, at a person who is not a law officer. It would be a class A misdemeanor if the thrower knows he or she is infected with HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C and the substance contacts face or an open wound.
"Part of what is going on here is people coming up with new and improved ways of going after officers as they are being arrested or while incarcerated," Stevenson said.
Steven L. Garside, assistant Layton City attorney, said prosecution and law enforcement groups asked Stevenson to carry the bill, which amends an existing law.
He said spitting was the most common occurrence, usually happening in a menacing situation that falls short of assault or threatening physical harm.
Steve Gehrke, spokesman for the Utah Department of Corrections, said inmates in the prison's maximum security and mental health units have been known to throw concoctions of bodily fluids at officers, something that happens about eight times a year.
Sen. Daniel W. Thatcher, R-West Valley City, voted against SB98, saying it was "terrible" that spitting on someone could land a person in jail for six months, although that already is covered under assault provisions in Utah's code.


text: Friday, May 31, 2013 Final Rule Issued on Employee Wellness Programs The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said its final rule on employment-based wellness programs, released yesterday, supports workplace health promotion and prevention as a means to reduce the burden of chronic illness, to improve health, and to limit growth of health care costs, all while ensuring that individuals "are protected from unfair underwriting practices that could otherwise reduce benefits based on health status." The final rule continues to support "participatory wellness programs," which generally are available without regard to an individual's health status. These programs reimburse or reward employees for such initiatives as joining a fitness center, attending health education seminars, or completing a health risk assessment with no obligation to take further action. The rules also outline standards for nondiscriminatory "health-contingent wellness programs." These generally reward individuals who meet a specific standard related to their health; for example, quitting or cutting down on tobacco use; achieving a specified cholesterol level, weight, or body mass index; or, if the individual fails to meet these goals, taking certain other healthy actions. The maximum reward that employers may offer employees under appropriately designed wellness programs is 30% of the total cost of employee-only coverage under the plan, except for tobacco-use program rewards, which max out at 50%. The final rule also requires that health-contingent wellness programs be reasonably designed, be uniformly available to all similarly situated individuals, and accommodate recommendations made at any time by an individual's physician based on medical appropriateness. The final rule, issued jointly by HHS, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Department of Labor, will be effective for plan years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2014. Meanwhile, a recent Wall Street Journal article reported that nearly 90% of employers offer incentives, financial rewards, or prizes to employees who work toward specified wellness goals, up from 57% in 2009. The article continues with pros and cons of popular types of programs.

R has a Rich Selection of Static and Interactive Map Tools (Demo)
R has always had the ability to perform GIS analysis, but for a long time the representation of data on maps was a relative weak suit of R. That's changed. This tutorial quickly walks through the creation of maps in R using maps, googleVis, ggmap, RgoogleMaps, plotGoogleMaps and Inkscape/Adobe Illustrator.
The code to accompany this tutorial is available on Github (and feel free to follow my Github account!).
Someone recently asked how to map all 50 states (as opposed to only the US mainland) in R, which led me to review the different ways that this can be accomplished. As a starting point, even the old maps package for R can generate such a plot:
## File: RMapsDemo.R ## Description: Code file for demonstrating GIS/maps in R ## Copyright: (c) 2014, Hack-R.com (Jason D. Miller) # Import Libraries and Functions ------------------------------------------ source("RMapsDemo_Functions.R") # Basic Maps -------------------------------------------------------------- # Ye olde map package map("world", c("USA", "hawaii"), xlim = c(-180, -65), ylim = c(19, 72))
Personally, I find Google to have the most attractive maps. Mathematician Markus Gesmann created a cool package called googleVis which – among many other very useful graphs – provides maps from Google which look like those that you'd see in a Google Adsense analytics dashboard.
# googleVis --------------------------------------------------------------- require(googleVis) GV <- gvisGeoChart(CityPopularity, locationvar='City', colorvar='Popularity', options=list(region='US', height=350, displayMode='markers', colorAxis="{values:[200,400,600,800], colors:[\'red', \'pink\', \'orange',\'green']}")) plot(GV)
Not bad, eh? You can also easily change to satillite or hybrid views of your maps and best of all, they're fully interactive with customizable data displayed on mouse hovers and customizable algorithms to define scaling and color schemes.
Still, this looks a little different than what you're used to when you use Google Maps for driving directions or to find the nearest pub library. You have a few options if you'd prefer the latter, including ggmap, RGoogleMaps, and plotGoogleMaps.
There are lots of options which you can tweak, but for a simple example let's create a close up map of some clubs in the financial district of Manhattan. We can put custom colored markers on top of the map to represent our potential club choices:
lat = c(40.702147,40.718217,40.711614); lon = c(-74.012318,-74.015794,-73.998284); center = c(mean(lat), mean(lon)); zoom <- min(MaxZoom(range(lat), range(lon))); markers = paste0("&markers=color:blue|label:S|40.714511,-74.009684&markers=color:", "green|label:G|40.714511,-74.009684&markers=color:red|color:red|") ClubMap <- GetMap(center=center, zoom=zoom,markers=markers,destfile = "Dolls.png"); PlotOnStaticMap(ClubMap)
Another approach that will give you a more attractive result than maps is to follow the approach of this tutorial which shows how to import custom maps from Inkscape (or, equivalently, Adobe Illustrator) into R for plotting.
You'll end up with something like this:

| 14°C Belfast
Dominic Cooper is left bemused when fellow chat show guest Miriam Margolyes admits she has no idea who he is - then says she does not like one of his most famous films.
The pair appear together as guests on The Graham Norton Show, but the veteran actress claims to be clueless about the movie heartthrob.
She eventually recalls: "I think I've seen you in The History Boys - I think I saw that but I can't remember you."
Presenter Graham points out the 35-year-old had a prominent role in box office hit Mamma Mia!, but she responds: "That was a dreadful film."
Miriam - known to many for her role as Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter films - was equally unfamiliar with Lily Allen, who was also appearing on the programme.
"I'm 72 and I don't know about songs and singing, but I know you're highly admired," she told the chart star.
Miriam left many open-mouthed on a previous Norton appearance when she told The Voice coach Will.i.am she was "fascinated" by him, adding: " Unfortunately, I don't know many black people. We don't get to meet across the colour line much, except in showbusiness."
During the filming of the latest programme Dominic - who recently played author Ian Fleming in a Sky dramatisation of his life - also recalls an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction.
He told Graham how he was working as a waiter and had his hands full when he burst out of the front of his tight trousers, much to his embarrassment - and the horror of diners.
"I was working in a cafe wearing really tight jeans. I had two cappuccinos in one hand and pastries in the other and as I approached the table it fell out of my jeans and rested neatly on the table," he said.
"There was nothing I could do. The customers were repulsed and I just backed off."
The programme is screened on 10.35pm tonight (February 21) on BBC One.

The 1st Annual Squirrel Master Classic was held on Feb. 19th and 20th 2014 hosted by Gamo® Outdoor USA (www.gamooutdoorusa.com), world renowned manufacturer of high-end adult air gunspartnering with Buckmasters organization. The hunting competition/TV event involved some of the best hunters and hunting personalities from the Top Hunting TV shows, paired with media members, 4-H kids, and Gamo executives which were divided in 6 teams, each team was accompanied by a guide an award winning squirrel hunting dog and their handler.Complete GamoProstaff members participating in this event included Michael Waddell, Nick Mundt, Travis "T-Bone" Turner, hosts of the Bone Collector TV Show; Shawn Michaels & Keith Mark from MRA Hunting TV Show; Jackie Bushman from Buckmasters TV Show, Keith Warren from High Road Hunting TV Show and Jon & Gina Brunson from Addicted to the outdoors TV Show.At check-in, everyone who participated in the hunting event received (among other hunting supplies) the highly-praised "Whisper Fusion Pro" .177 Cal. by Gamo, which was the one of 2013 best seller for the high-quality air gun manufacturer. Everyone was impressed with their accuracy, light weight and how they've reduced the sound with their new technology."We all were impressed by the Whisper Fusion Pro .177 caliber air rifles. Shooting at speeds up to 1400 fps, these GAMO air rifles have more muzzle velocity than average .22 long rifles. We were already impressed, but the consistency of our shots was giving us even more of a reason to fall in love with these air rifles. We all got dialed in with the GAMO Lethal Pellets and were ready to pursue some squirrels" said Justin Morrisey from Huntinglife.com The hunting itself took 3 hours in the morning, then a return back to the lodge where preliminary weight and points were tallied. After lunch it was back again to hunt after some strategic planning from all the participating teams. At the end of the day hunters returned for an evening weigh-in and points were totaled in the Leaderboard leaving the Buckmasters team as the winners of the competition.The hunt was captured by the Bone Collector, MRA Hunting, Buckmasters, and Addicted to the Outdoors TV film crews, and will be broadcasted on national television some time in spring and the competition is being planned as a yearly tournament. The media members were covering the event through their various media outlets, including social media, newspapers and magazines, blogs, webpages and even radio broadcast."The response to this year's Squirrel Master Classic was overwhelming; we met old friends and gained new ones as well, but the objective of this competition was to involve all of them to showcase the new products, the new technologies and the hunting principles that Gamo promotes, showing all the opportunities and all the fun that hunting small and medium game brings to all the family members, and most important, it was great to see 4-H kids involved in the event, they have truly became the squirrels masters", said Fedor Palacios, Marketing Communication Manager of Gamo Outdoor USA.

UN officials meet with Ukraine government
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) -- A senior U.N. diplomat has arrived in Kiev while Switzerland's president is in Moscow to meet President Vladimir Putin, in a flurry of diplomatic activity seeking to de-escalate tensions in Ukraine.
Jeffrey Feltman, the U.N. under-secretary-general for political affairs, met with Ukraine's acting president Oleksandr Turchynov early on Wednesday. British Foreign Secretary William Hague also arrived in Ukraine to speak with the nation's leaders.
Swiss president Didier Burkhalter, chairman of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, was scheduled to meet with Putin for discussions on Ukraine and the status of OSCE observers on the ground. Eight international military observers traveling with the OSCE mission who were taken hostage by pro-Russian insurgents in the eastern city of Slovyansk were released on Saturday.
Russia and the West have expressed a desire for the OSCE to play a greater role in defusing the tensions in Ukraine.
The U.S. and European nations have increased diplomatic efforts ahead of Ukraine's May 25 presidential election, as a pro-Russian insurgency continues to rock the country's eastern regions. Feltman was in Moscow on Tuesday and met Gennady Gatilov, a deputy foreign minister.
Speaking in a BBC interview, Hague lent his support to the election. He says Ukrainians "cannot be bullied out of having their elections by disorder that is deliberately fomented and coordinated from another country, in this instance Russia."
In Berlin, a Ukrainian presidential candidate said he was prepared to negotiate a decentralization of power, as pro-Russian insurgents have demanded. But Petro Poroshenko, a billionaire chocolate magnate, added that some separatists in the eastern region understand only "the language of force."

Cisco, Cognio team up on Wi-Fi interference detection
Cisco and Cognio have partnered to troubleshoot and diagnose problems on the Wi-Fi network.
Networking giant Cisco has teamed up with Cognio to give users better Wi-Fi security, reliability and performance.
Cognio announced today that Cisco will market, sell and distribute Cognio's flagship Spectrum Expert, a Wi-Fi spectrum and analysis platform, as part of Cisco's SolutionsPlus Reseller Program.
William Flannigan, vice president of marketing at Cognio, said the partnership is unique because it creates the only Layer 1 spectrum-monitoring tool certified to work with a Cisco wireless infrastructure.
The Spectrum Expert troubleshoots and diagnoses problems on the Wi-Fi network, including interference from non-802.11 devices, dead spots and more. The partnership combines Cisco's wireless networking gear with Cognio's Spectrum Expert, which comes in a Cardbus form factor that works with any Windows 2000 or XP device.
"It makes troubleshooting easier," Flannigan said. "It shows what the problem is and where it is. Combined with Cisco's early warning system, it's a one-two punch."
Travis Durick, wireless network engineer for the city of Moorhead, Minn., has used Spectrum Expert for about a year. He oversaw a 17-square-mile municipal Wi-Fi deployment in the city and was contracted for a deployment within several residence halls at Minnesota State University's Moorhead campus.
"We've used it quite frequently over one year," Durick said. "It's alarming just how much interference is out there that you don't know about."
At the university, cordless phones and microwaves often interfere with or create trouble on the wireless network, Durick said. In one instance, four small wireless surveillance cameras installed in one building tucked behind lighted exit signs interfered and made the wireless channel unavailable. Complaints came pouring in. Durick said he found the access point that wasn't working and replaced it, but there was still no connectivity. Using Spectrum Expert, he was able to determine why the access point wasn't transmitting and was able to fix the problem.
The city of Moorhead's Wi-Fi deployment created a different set of challenges. In many cases, too many devices were operating on the same channel and were canceling one another out.
"For anybody putting in a wireless network, there needs to be a good level of awareness," Durick said, adding that the Cisco pairing will boost the awareness of wireless monitoring tools. "It eliminates the guessing game as to why a channel is not working. You never know what someone can be running."
The city also has its share of HAM radio operators, and they can create interference. Using Spectrum Expert, Durick can see where the problem is and which channels are being used, and switch the access points to ensure the channels don't conflict.
"My biggest concern is keeping people happy," he said, adding that to keep them happy, wireless access has to be available.
Before using analysis tools, Durick said, he was limited to the reporting on the access points themselves, which is "only so much" and does not dig down far enough to identify exactly what is causing interference and where that device is.
For users, he said, the Cisco-Cognio partnership can help boost ROI on wireless infrastructure investments, simplify deploying and managing the wireless network, and ease troubleshooting.
"It's a matter of both integrity and reliability, and it's essential that interference be managed as Wi-Fi becomes the center of mission-critical and advanced application service delivery," Mathias said in a statement.
In addition to the Cisco-Cognio partnership, both vendors also said they will work together to educate the market on the impacts of interference and to drive industry adoption of interference detection and mitigation tools. Cognio was certified as part of the Cisco Technology Developer Partner Program, which means Cognio underwent rigorous testing to ensure quality and compatibility with Cisco gear.
"Enterprises are reliant on Wi-Fi networking solutions as they move to a mobile work environment," said Brett Galloway, Cisco's vice president and general manager of the wireless networking business unit. "With Cognio's Spectrum Expert as part of our overall Wi-Fi toolkit, Cisco customers and partners now have the ability to prevent and rapidly troubleshoot interference issues before they impact the integrity of the Wi-Fi network."
The Spectrum Expert sits side-by-side with Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) and fills the remaining gap for troubleshooting the Wi-Fi physical layer. With Spectrum Expert, users get a list of specific devices, by name, that are using capacity, and they can quickly tell which ones are causing problems and lock onto and eliminate the devices.
Cognio's president and CEO Thomas McPherson said Cognio's relationship with Cisco creates true parity between the wireless and wired networks.
"IT managers now have the means to deliver advanced IP services such as voice and video over the Wi-Fi network," he said, "removing the limitations of the wired network infrastructure."

It's dangerous to declare a bill dead, but the payday lending/auto title regulation bill is showing signs of poor health:
First, Rep. Mike Villarreal, D-San Antonio, the House sponsor, tweeted over the weekend that he was looking beyond the current legislative session: "Planning interim. Will travel state to advance payday auto title ordinances one city at a time with Coalition for Fair Lending.
Then yesterday, this Villarreal Facebook post conveyed more frustration: "After months of work on payday and auto title lending reform, it's hard to accept that we may not have the votes to move forward with meaningful protections for consumers. Texas has a long history of free markets, but we also have a long history of protecting consumers from usury. Our state's current approach to payday and auto title lending is a break from that honorable tradition. Our most vulnerable citizens pay the price. I'm still working to find a path forward."
And Tuesday, Villarreal issued a press release with the bill's Senate sponsor, Sen. John Carona, R-Dallas, calling a news conference to "join with consumer advocates in urging the legislature to pass meaningful payday and auto title lending reform legislation this session. The legislators filed companion legislation to restrict the size of loans based on borrowers' income, limit the number of refinances, and establish other important consumer protections. The Senate has approved the legislation, Senate Bill 1247, and now a compromise version of the bill is awaiting a vote in the House Committee on Investments and Financial Services. "
Will the press conference be a wake for a dead bill? Or will Carona and Villarreal successfully pressure the House committee to pass the legislation? The answer will determine how Villarreal spends his summer "vacation."

Sam Shankland '14 advancing on international chess scene
Economics major ranks at the game's highest level of competition
Samuel Shankland '14 recently won the most prestigious chess fellowship in the United States – a $42,000 yearly award he can use to hire coaches and trainers and to buy study materials and other resources to improve his game.
"I don't think I would need a trainer to mandate my schedule," says Shankland. "I've been making my own decisions since I was 15 or 16 and I am very good at isolating the weak points of my game."
What he will do with the 2013 Frank P. Samford, Jr. Chess Fellowship is hire experts to help him with those weak points.
"For example, if technical end-games are my problem, I would seek out a specialist at technical end-games," says Shankland.
An Orinda, California, native, Shankland is an economics major and a chess Grandmaster, a title given only to the highest level of players internationally. His laid-back, confident posture is suggestive of the high level of self-assurance often found in leadership-role athletes like pitchers and quarterbacks.
"I've always been a very competitive person," says Shankland. "When I was young, in elementary school, I was always one of the better athletes among the boys, but I was never the absolute best. When I found chess and found I was very good at it very quickly, it fed that need to win. So I kind of went along with it. It helps channel my competitive need."
Many prodigies have reached the upper echelons of the chess rankings by age 12, while Shankland did not play his first tournament until he was 10. But once he started playing, his development was explosive. He became a National Master just four years later.
In the "About Me" section of his website, Shankland says he "ran into a brick wall" soon after that accomplishment.
"I think it was largely because I was not pushing myself hard enough," he explained in a recent interview. "I was playing in local tournaments and playing too many games against weaker opponents. I was probably enjoying winning local events, getting press, and earning a little money instead of really pushing myself to make me a better chess player."
One summer later, Shankland developed a "completely different approach to playing chess" through careful reflection and analysis of his game. He devoted more time to studying the game and less to playing. When he did play, he made sure it was in tournaments that were more challenging, and so more beneficial to his growth.
As a result, Shankland improved 200 points in World Chess Federation ratings from August 2007 to October 2008, an unheard of jump. A 20-point increase in a year is considered a big jump for most aspiring players.
He went on to become, at age 16, the youngest-ever California state champion, and tied for first in the Under-18 category at the 2008 World Youth Championships in Vietnam. Two years ago, he became a Grandmaster.
But every athlete faces challenges in the process of improving. The discipline to practice and then perform consistently at high levels is demanding for even professional, full-time athletes. And despite his Grandmaster status, Shankland still needed to turn in his homework.
"I remember in my junior and senior years of high school – in each semester – I missed two consecutive weeks playing tournaments," he says. "But at that point, I had already set my priorities -- chess was not my extracurricular activity, school was."
"It's always been tough. Chess has always taken the driver's seat but it's definitely been hard to manage everything," says Shankland. "I was never a fantastic student in high school, so when Brandeis accepted me I was very happy."
Shankland understood the importance of a good college education and decided to attend Brandeis for that reason. "I've just enjoyed my time here," he says. "At the time I visited, I liked it here. I can't even explain what it was."
Because chess precedes school on his list of priorities, Shankland is likely to be a rare one-major student at Brandeis, perhaps with a minor in either business or politics.
His dedication to studying chess continues to grow in intensity as he strives to elevate and evolve his game.
"When I'm studying alone, I'm usually increasing my knowledge of the game," says Shankland. "That could be by studying openings or creating my own theory – I am certainly good enough that I have created a lot of new ideas that haven't been played yet."
"There are definitely days I don't study chess. Then again, there are days where I sit in front of the computer, studying for seven hours straight," he says. "I've been trying a new thing where I'm training a lot more and playing a bit less. I've got the US Championship coming up in May and I'm hoping to get a good result there."
That May tournament will, not surprisingly, conflict with his academic life. Because the tournament schedule coincides with finals week, Shankland will take three final exams in two days before leaving campus early for the meet. "I'm very happy that my professors have given me the opportunity to do this, but it's certainly hard," says Shankland.
Shankland also has had to juggle the responsibility of teaching students all over the world, mostly through an online interface, in order to earn money. Now that he has the Samford Fellowship, he hopes to be able to stop teaching permanently.
"Teaching takes a lot of time out of my study schedule," he comments. "I've only done it as long as I have because I needed the money to play in Europe or hire coaches."
"By July of 2015, when the fellowship ends, I expect to be good enough to be playing chess for a living."
As for other goals, Shankland plans to record a few more DVD series as well. He has one published, available here: Stomping the Sicilian Defense).
"Historically, I've been going to tournaments where I bring a level of elite to the field," he comments. "Now, I would be going to tournaments where I'm the guy paying to play against the bigger guys. My goal would be to play better tournaments, hire some coaches, and maybe invest in a more powerful computer."

What is necrotizing enterocolitis?
Necrotizing enterocolitis is
infection and
inflammation of the
intestine. It is most common in babies who are born
early (premature). Many newborns who have it go on to live healthy lives. But
if the infection becomes severe, it can cause severe damage to the intestine,
which can be deadly. Some children may have ongoing problems with digestion, growth, or development.
This condition usually happens within the
first 2 weeks after birth. But it may occur up to 3 months after birth.

aren't sure what causes this condition. It may occur when the immune and
digestive systems do not form in the right ways. This can happen when a baby is
born early or when there are problems during pregnancy or delivery.
Experts don't know if feeding formula to a newborn can lead to
necrotizing enterocolitis. They do know that the disease is much less common in
babies who are fed breast milk.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms depend on

If your baby does not get better with treatment or
gets a hole in the intestine, he or she may need surgery. About 1 out of 4 babies who have necrotizing enterocolitis
needs surgery.1 Surgery usually means having two procedures weeks or months apart. The first surgery removes damaged parts of the intestine and may create a colostomy or ileostomy so that the intestine can heal. (With an ostomy, stool leaves the body through an opening in the belly and collects in a bag.) A second surgery will be done to close the ostomy so that stool can pass through the body normally again.
After treatment, your baby
will be ready to leave the hospital when he or she is eating well and is not
losing weight. The nurse can show you how to feed and care for your baby at
It is normal to feel overwhelmed when your baby has health

You may feel frustrated if you can't hold your baby as often as you want or
can't breast-feed your baby. It may help to talk about your feelings and
concerns with a social worker or counselor. Be sure to ask your baby's doctors
about anything you don't understand.

So king of all laggers decides to put up a little something. Hopefully everyone had a great holiday and got to taste some great craft beer. And if you didn't here is one at a great place to try.
So my fiance and I decided to drop in to Linx Dogs in Orange after meeting with a DJ for a wedding. Yep, BeerSoakedStew is getting hitched this year. Perhaps some craft beer will be flowing! So I got a Beer Brat described as the following:neurenberger bratwurst, bacon-apple kraut, beer mustard, pretzel roll. Hot damn! Paired that with an IPA from Kinetic Brewing Company from Lancaster, called the Propulsion. This wasn't too hoppy, 70 IBU's but you know me the hoppier the better; but I had never heard of Kinetic before so I thought I'd give it a try. If you stumble across this beer you need to get it! Very smooth yet full of flavor.
That is all for now. Cheers!

There are 3 item(s) tagged with the keyword "refuse collection".
Debate has been raging in recent weeks about whether the public have begun to notice the impact of cuts to local government services, following a recent opinion poll which suggested they hadn't, and the Prime Ministers own intervention in his own local council's approach to budget constraints.
Much focus is placed on the big spending budgets of adult and children's services, ones that the public are often not regularly engaged with, ironically the services that they experience on a daily basis, like parks, public realm, refuse and leisure services are being eroded significantly.
Waste not, want not
Whilst much of the focus of the graph of doom theorists has been on adult social care and children's services, local authorities haven't forgotten that they also continue to have statutory responsibilities for collecting waste and that this waste needs to be disposed of in a cost effective and environmentally friendly way.
Huge efforts are being made to eradicate waste in the first instance by encouraging a reduction in unnecessary waste and the reuse, recycling and recovery of any materials of value that can be derived from the waste stream, prior to going to landfill. With this in mind authorities are looking to develop integrated strategies that deal with all stages of the waste hierarchy.
I recently had an opportunity to examine Barcelona City Council's approach to waste management and found an impressive approach that also links closely to wider ambitions around renewable energy.
Happy New Year although for many in public services it may feel as if there isn't a lot to be happy about.
Facing up to some of the largest challenges to public finances in a generation coupled with the impact of severe weather on the public image of local authority services may make many feel that they want to curl up in a ball and hide.

Racism and racial discrimination: Systemic discrimination (fact sheet)
2005 - Racial discrimination can result from individual behaviour as well as because of the unintended and often unconscious consequences of a discriminatory system. This is known as systemic discrimination. Systemic discrimination can be described as patterns of behaviour, policies or practices that are part of the structures of an organization, and which create or perpetuate disadvantage for racialized persons.

Seems like we were supposed to gain extra hours of leisure time, sit in the garden, and give orders to some computerized gizmo.Instead, we endure extra hours of commuting time, sit in a cubicle, and take orders from some computerized gizmo. This is the American Dream?Illustrator Frank Soltesz's gracefully sweeping ribbon of concrete might not have looked quite so appealing if he had filled it with idling cars from horizon to horizon, obscured in a haze of smog and surrounded on all sides by Wal-Mart parking lots and Home Depots.
Here's an excerpt of the text accompanying illustrator Robert McCall's interpretation of America in 1975:
Housing will still be crucial in 1975. But most architects agree that with proper planning and imaginative building, the next 15 years should bring the beginning of the end not only for the grimy apartments and grim tenements of America's congested cities but also for the one-family home on the small suburban parcel of land. Replacing them all as basic mass housing of the future...will be something called "The Tower in the Park". Six of these modern towers, each 30 stories high with duplex apartments for 720 families (about 3,000 people), will be built in a 20-acre park. Starting at the very edge of any city's business section, a series of these units would extend across what are today city residential areas and on through the suburbs.
Well 1975 came and went and instead, city planner Victor Gruen, who wrote a dire prediction of what might come to pass further in the same 1959 issue of Life, turned out to have a (sadly) clearer vision of the future:
If the good life of the future is not to degenerate into a vast traffic jam and a strangled complex of cities, there is urgent need for immediate urban, regional, statewide and nationwide master planning.
The growth of the cities will not be an evil if we make them again a pleasant place to stroll, eat, shop, sightsee, enjoy cultural amenities, and live. Only then will our leisure time be worth living. Otherwise, we will spend our precious hard-earned leisure within our own four walls, cut off from society by the foes we have created: murderous traffic, smog, disorder, blight and ugliness. We will be trapped in our suburban or city homes, all dressed up with no place to go.

Mad Magazine has done fantastic parodies of these kind of illustrations over the years. They were spot-on visual duplicates of these utopian visions that never came to pass, usually created by artists like Wally Wood or Kelly Freas. The guy in his yard giving orders to his hedge trimming robot could've been one of those pieces. It's hilarious. Bruce McCall is doing these kind of things now, often as New Yorker covers.ReplyDelete

No need to wait for Thanksgiving!
I genuinely love foods made with pumpkin. Like most people I rarely make foods containing pumpkin outside of the autumn months, but why? I know I always cook with canned pumpkin which is available year round and I assume I am not the only one who uses canned pumpkin. This time I decided I would not wait until fall and I made a delicious batch of pumpkin bread. The aroma in my apartment while these were baking was amazing and I could not wait to try it. The best part of this bread (other than eating it) was the apartment held the sweet spicy scent of the bread for several days. Instant air freshener! I definitely encourage you not to wait until the fall to incorporate pumpkin into your kitchen.
Pumpkin Bread
Modified from Stoneyfield Farm
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup oil
2 cups vanilla Stonyfield Farm Yogurt (approx. three 6 oz. containers, I used 1 container of lowfat vanilla and 2 containers of fat free french vanilla)
1 16oz can pumpkin puree
4 teaspoons cinnamon
4 teaspoons nutmeg
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking soda
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Beat eggs until foamy, add sugar, oil, yogurt, pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix well. In a separate bowl sift together flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Add dry ingredients slowly to the yogurt mixture and mix until moist. Pour into 2 greased and floured 9x5x13-inch loaf pans. Sprinkle pecans onto tops of each loaf. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Loaves should be golden brown on top.

Frank Furness (American, 1839–1912) was the leading architect in Philadelphia during the second half of the nineteenth century. Working in a city known as the "workshop of the world," Furness turned away from contemporary European historical forms to design buildings out of the materials and formal vocabulary of the Industrial Revolution.

Ralph Eugene Meatyard (American 1925–1972) is not a very familiar name in 20th-century photography, yet his impact on contemporary art, belatedly recognized, is significant. An optician in Lexington, Kentucky, Meatyard sustained a life-long interest in visual perception. Well read and deeply connected to a circle of poets and philosophers, he made photographs rich in literary allusion.

Vincent van Gogh was an artist of exceptional intensity, not only in his use of color and exuberant application of paint, but also in his personal life. Drawn powerfully to nature, his works--particularly those created in the years just before he took his own life--engage the viewer with the strength of his emotions. This exhibition focuses on these tumultuous years, a period of feverish artistic experimentation that began when van Gogh left Antwerp for Paris in 1886 and continued until his death in Auvers in 1890.

MAGNUS GJOEN's prints examine how to change peoples relationship and preconceived notions of objects. Something which is potentially extremely destructive can be made into beautiful yet fragile objects of art. It's this misconception of beauty which Magnus Gjoen wants us to see in a different light, being it weapons, animals or the human race itself. The latter which is capable of creating immense beauty but also capable of destroying it all. Taking inspiration from street and pop art and juxtapositioning it with fine art, he creates new and modern takes on old masterpieces or manipulates something powerful and strong into something fragile but beautiful. He often questions the correlation between religion, war, beauty & destruction in his art. Magnus Gjoen was born in London to Norwegian parents and studied design in London and Milan and has worked as a denim designer and graphic designer for Vivienne Westwood amongst others.
You'll miss me when I'm gone by Magnus Gjoen. Signed and numbered from an edition of 80. The print measures 50 x 50cms.
Born in London to Norwegian parents, Magnus Gjoen grew up in Switzerland, Denmark, Italy as well as in the UK. As a contemporary artist Gjoen has exhibited worldwide and questions the notions of beauty by juxtaposing a range of styles and media, incorporating a street and pop aesthetic with a fine art approach. His pieces draw on history and allusion, using existing artworks or fragments from the past to create his own, contemporary aesthetic.
Describing himself as an 'accidental' artist, Gjoen studied fine art and fashion design which led to a successful career in fashion, working for brands such as Vivienne Westwood.
A move back into the art world came from decorating the walls of his London flat and realising he could do so with his own artworks. Thought-provoking and often-emotional, Gjoen's art offers a modern spin on old masterpieces or manipulates powerful and strong objects into something fragile yet beautiful. By blending two genres from completely different worlds, his art is about rediscovery, taking things from the past and renewing them for the contemporary market. Breathing fresh air into dusty old paintings found in the far corners of a museum or lending a sense of beauty and grace to typically powerful, even dangerous objects, Magnus Gjoen's work invites a second look. It's this ability to engage with the viewer and get them questioning, challenging and thinking that makes him a promising and successful young artist in the contemporary art world.

From the DVD case:
A hormone intended to alter the breeding cycle of rabbits overrunning ranchlands instead turn them into flesh-eating, 150-pound monsters. Stuart Whitman, Janet Leigh, Rory Calhoun and DeForest Kelly are among the intrepid humans facing the behemoth bunnies. They use guns, flames, and dynamite to subtract them, but the rampaging rabbits know how to multiply. Can anything stop these hare-y, scary monsters? (1972, color)
Mark says:
The most amazing thing about Night of the Lepus is that it is not played for laughs. Instead, the film is approached as a cautionary ecological tale regarding the fragile balance of nature. Director William F. Claxton (who directed a lot of television, including several episodes of The Twilight Zone), and a cast of veteran actors, among them, the great Janet Leigh (Psycho, The Fog), treat the script earnestly, as if the premise is not utterly ridiculous. I mean, the movie is about giant, bloodthirsty bunnies. That's funny, right? Even the book it is based on, The Year of the Angry Rabbit by Russell Braddon, is described as, "a savagely humorous indictment of War, Nationalism and Capitalism." Savagely humorous! This movie may have had some success if it were created as a spoof of the giant, radiated, mutant bug/animal horror flicks that gained popularity in previous decades, but it is played absolutely straight.
So, how did MGM decide to make a picture like Night of the Lepus? Tom Weaver, in his book, Return of the B Science Fiction and Horror Heroes, put this very question to lead actress, Janet Leigh. Her response:
I read the script, and I have to tell you that it read very well. Night of the Lepus was made at the time of science fiction pictures like Willard and Ben and Frogs, and I must repeat the script read very well. No one twisted my arm and said I had to do it. What no one realized was that, no matter what you do, a bunny rabbit is a bunny rabbit! A rat, that can be menacing – so can a frog, spiders or scorpions or alligators – they could all work in that situation, and they have. But – a bunny rabbit? How can you make a bunny rabbit menacing, what can you do? It just didn't work.
If the premise of rampaging, killer rabbits doesn't elicit a giggle, the special effects will. The primary effect is accomplished by placing ordinary rabbits among miniatures and playing ominous music. Sometimes the rabbits stampede, and we are treated to countless scenes of colossal rabbits galloping in slow motion. To make matters worse, the rabbits don't even appear to be wild, but more the household pet variety. There's only so much terror a calico bunny can evoke. When a rabbit attacks an individual, a man in a rabbit suit is used. It looks almost as bad as it sounds.
Night of the Lepus does have some unsettling moments, however. For example, the actual newsreel footage documenting the Australian rabbit plague of 1954, used at the outset of the movie, is a bit unnerving. Of course, our sympathy is more for the terror-stricken rabbits being herded and captured, than for the humans. Also, the film opens on a grim note when rancher Cole Hillman, played by Rory Calhoun shoots his horse after it breaks its leg in a rabbit hole. The reality of ranch life far outweighs the horror of gargantuan bunnies.
Another startling, if not shocking, aspect of the movie is the copious amounts of blood used. Granted, it is the phoniest type of movie blood, but there is a lot of it. Perhaps realizing the futility of scaring people with ferocious rabbits, Director Claxton decided to overcompensate with gore effects (which are also done poorly). Not only are the victims covered in it, but the red stuff is painted onto the rabbits' paws and faces. Particularly look for the scene where Rory Calhoun shoots rabbits through the cellar floor. The blood is positively gushing.
As for entertainment value, Night of the Lepus does have something. Unintentional humor seems to be its saving grace, but there's a certain early 1970s allure that plays a role, too. It doesn't have the charm of an Ed Wood, Jr. film, but something akin to it. It's also amusing that the sheriff enlists the help of drive-in theater goers to wrangle the Herculean hares. I imagine a drive-in theater would have been the perfect venue for this flick.
Unfortunately, the movie drags too often for it to be a true treasure. It also features one of those annoying kids that cause a lot of problems. In this instance, it's Melanie Fullerton in the role of Amanda Bennett. Amanda, in an attempt to save her favorite bunny, unintentionally releases an infected rabbit into the populace, which triggers the chain reaction. If B movies have taught me anything, it's that little kids should not be allowed near labs where deadly research is being conducted. (Also see, The Monster that Challenged the World, for another example of a little girl unleashing havoc for the love of a rabbit.)
I've already mentioned Janet Leigh (in the role of Gerry Bennett) and Rory Calhoun (as Cole Hillman), but you will also recognize TV regular Stuart Whitman (who played uncredited bit parts in The Day the Earth Stood Still and When Worlds Collide) as leading man, Roy Bennett; and DeForest Kelley (Dr. McCoy from TV's Star Trek) as Elgin Clark. Mr. Kelley wears a moustache in this movie, but, unfortunately for him, he is still recognizable. This was DeForest Kelley's last non-Star Trek role.
I'm giving Night of the Lepus extra points for its shear absurdity and unintentional humor, but it is probably one of those flicks you'll enjoy more in the company of others. Bad movies just seem to be more fun in groups.
Scene to watch for: Cole Hillman (Rory Calhoun) demonstrates a unique hitchhiking technique by standing on the side of the road and waving his rifle above his head like a madman.
Line to listen for: "But doctor, rabbits as big and as ferocious as wolves? It isn't conceivable!"
Mark's Rating: ! ! ! out of 5.

The city of Detroit reached a new settlement in its bid to terminate interest rate swap contracts with UBS AG and Bank of America Corp.
Under the agreement presented to Gerald Rosen, chief district judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and lead mediator in the bankruptcy, the banks will allow the city to terminate its contracts for $165 million, a 43 percent discount.
Originally, the city and the banks had agreed to $220 million to terminate the interest-rate swaps that have cost the city about $202 million since 2009. That was a 25 percent reduction off the $293.3 million the city owes on the secured debt.
The deal still must be approved by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes, who is scheduled to review it and the post-petition financing at a hearing on Jan. 3.
"This is an important development for the city and its residents because it means we can start moving forward on implementing needed investments in public safety and services," Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr said in an emailed statement. "This agreement represents a significant reduction from the original deal struck with the banks. The banks and the City, through mediation, and with the mediator's recommendation, have accepted the reduction in terms."
To pay for the deal, Orr and his team had secured a $350 million loan through Barclays. Because of the reduction in the amount owed to the swaps contracts, Orr said the city will reduce that loan to $288 million. The balance of the loan will be used to fund improvements to city services, he said.
Additionally, the deal gives the city back its casino revenues, which Orr has said is the city's most stable income stream. The money — worth up to $15 million per month — was tied up as collateral in the interest-rate swaps deal that was negotiated in 2005.
What the new deal could mean for the remaining creditors is unknown, but Patrick O'Keefe, CEO of Bloomfield Hills-based turnaround consulting firm O'Keefe LLC, thinks it could be positive news.
"Arguably for the creditors, they should like this better because there is less of an encumbrance of the future cash flow," he said. "The next issue for the creditors is, should all this money go to city services? Why shouldn't some of it come to them? That might be the next fight for Orr. He may need to prove that [the Barclay] money is required for the sustainability of the city."
And there is no guarantee that the deal will get approval from Rhodes, as Judge Rosen mentioned from the bench:
"Of course, all parties understand here that Judge Rhodes is not bound by this," Rosen said in the court transcript. "I think it's fair to say he's expressed that he has some reservations about some of the claims, and it will be up to him to determine whether or not this is a fair and equitable settlement for the city and for the SWAP counter parties, but we will make a mediator's recommendation to that effect."

Madam Foo Foo Kentucky Derby Hats and FOOscinators:
Rodes for Her
Rodeo Drive
The Brown Hotel
Merci Boutique
Buy Madam Foo Foo t-shirts and Ball Caps NOW!
Madam Foo Foo Couture hats and "FOOscinators" are designed in the Kentucky studio with the latest fashion trends and color palettes in mind. Long before Philip Treacy designed for Kate Middleton and the royal wedding, we were inspired by him. "He's elegantly outrageous!" according to Lisa Lake-Roedemeier. "I absolutely love his lines and his uncanny ability to balance whimsy and tradition."
Founded in 2009, in Louisville, Kentucky Madam Foo Foo Couture gives a portion of profits to thoroughbred rescue, retirement, and retraining. Madam Foo Foo is one of Lisa's former racehorses and a retirement success story (see below).
The 2012 collection included fifty original handwoven pieces. The 2013 collection promises seventy pieces! The weaving process typically takes about two weeks. When the beautiful unfinished hat base arrives in the Kentucky Madam Foo Foo studio, it is embellished with love and given that little "twist of southern charm." Embellishments are always evolving and changing. Lots of hand-dyed silk ribbon and golden pheasant feathers along with the highest quality beads and stones adorn the latest creations. Feather trimming has been a trend this year; and handmade flowers have also been interesting and fun. Upon completion, each hat is named; and, those names are derived from family, horse racing, and the southern way of life. Some of the names we've loved are Sweet Potato Pie, Grits at the Ritz, Pink Freud (Freud is a stallion), and Have a Little Grace for the Eclipse winner, Havre de Grace, trained by Larry Jones. Larry trained Tears of Jupiter for Lisa's horse partnership company, Media Thoroughbred Group. Tears of Jupiter became a mommy last year. Her foal, by Kentucky Derby winner, Big Brown, is named Hot Brown Baby in keeping with the rich Louisville tradition! This year you can visit The Brown Hotel, have their signature Hot Brown, and purchase a Madam Foo Foo Couture creation! And, yes, there IS a hat named "Hot Brown Baby!"

The inspiration for the opening of our hat design company specializing in "race day attire", is the real Madam Foo Foo.... a beautiful young filly owned by Media Thoroughbred Group's only all-female horse racing partnership.

Retired racehorse, Madam Foo Foo, getting a mint from her owner!
Madam Foo Foo is a three-time winner and certainly no stranger to the cameras. She showed confidence on her "runway" and enjoyed the spotlight. Typical of a fussy girl, when she was racing she did not like to run in the mud; and, she hated to get dirt in her face. Of course, she was born and raised in the South.. so we'd expect nothing less!
Our beautiful girl retired in late 2010 from her racing career. She found a great home in Mississippi with a true southern belle. She's living the "plantation" life and is a true horse retirement success story.
Much like our beloved Madam Foo Foo, our creations are one-of-a-kind. Southern but sassy. Trendy? Some are. But we like to think we retain the sense of style that makes a southern lady in her gorgeous Madam Foo Foo hat the icon of unmistakable class and charm at the racetrack.
"Lavender Lucy"
Lavender Lucy is a handwoven creation which was inspired by the gregarious and charming Miss Lucy Maremont of Needham, Massachusetts. Lucy is Isabel Maremont's youngest sister. Isabel attended her first Kentucky Oaks and Derby this year with Lisa's son, Jordan Lake. She wore a fabulous coral "Fooscinator" on Oaks day and a Madam Foo Foo Couture hat with the traditional red roses for Derby. Lisa fell in love with Lucy when she visited Louisville in early 2012. Isabel suggested the name for Media Thoroughbred Group's latest addition - a colt by 2008 Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown. "Hot Brown Baby" is on the list of creations for 2013!
Isabel and Lucy
Isabel and Jordan
A portion of all hat sale profits goes to thoroughbred rescue and retirement projects nationwide.
If you'd like to help give a racehorse a well-deserved and respectful life, right up to the ultimate "finish line," we'd love to see you in one of our creations! We'll be delighted to have you as a member of the "Sisterhood" of Madam FooFoo.

Big news of the week – Cody Asche earned praise from a scout on Twitter…for his defense. Wild.
As usual, here's a link to all the stat lines for all of the Phils minor leaguers in off-season leagues. Justin Friend continues to get the job done. We'll see what he can do in AAA next season, I imagine.

White males over age 21 = 936
Slaves over age 16 = 428
Total number of slaves = 821
Number of horses = 1670
Number of stores = 25
Pleasure carriages = 2
Number of buggies = 7
Number of pianos = 4
Gold Spectacles = 7
Gold Watches = 38
Silver Lever Watches = 22
Tavern Licenses = 2
Children between the ages of 5 and 16 = 919
Total value of property = $1,032,559
The listing that surprises me the most are the four pianos. Were they transported to Livingston County by steamboat? Who played them and on what occasions? I am also curious about the pleasure carriages and buggies. Surely the roads were in no condition to allow such vehicles to be used in the country. Were they driven only by people who lived in the towns?
I would have guessed there were more than two tavern licenses in the county. Surely there were more than that in Smithland or Salem alone.
These listings help provide a view into life in Livingston County in 1847. I wish more items had been shown, but I'm sure Livingston County residents wished that fewer were listed as they were taxed on these items.

The 'mistake' was made by a sixth century monk known as Dionysius Exiguus or in English Dennis the Small, the 85-year-old pontiff claims in the book 'Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives', published on Wednesday.
"The calculation of the beginning of our calendar – based on the birth of Jesus – was made by Dionysius Exiguus, who made a mistake in his calculations by several years," the Pope writes in the book, which went on sale around the world with an initial print run of a million copies.
"The actual date of Jesus's birth was several years before."

The Theta 116 system was a star system that had remained unmapped by the United Federation of Planets until 2365, containing eight planets.
In 2365, the scattered remains of the 21st century Earth spaceship Charybdis were discovered in orbit of the farthest planet Theta VIII in this system by a Klingon cruiser. Subsequently the USS Enterprise-D entered orbit to investigate. (TNG: "The Royale")
Before "The Royale", two other Theta planets have been mentioned in Star Trek. Theta III seen on a star chart and Theta VII, a colony planet, where USS Enterprise delivered vaccines after the events in TOS: "Obsession" set in 2265. According to Star Trek Maps (page 30), the Theta VII colony was located around the star Theta. According to the FASA source book The Federation it was in the Theta Gamma system.

Richard Lauzon, Yvon Lauzon's cousin, sent me these pictures.
Hi Pierre,
These are pictures of Ste-Anne taken in 1896.
The convent and the train station appeared in the newspaper Le Monde illustré on the Saturday edition of June 6, 1896.
Train station
The picture titled L'amour dans le nord, was published on January 2, 1897 and Après la messe was published on February 6, 1897 in the same newspaper. I think all the pictures were taken at the same time in 1896.
People gathering after Sunday's mass
I have had the original copies of this newspaper since I was 18 when I was at cegep d'Ahuntsic.
I was also puzzled by the couple's identity in the sleigh.
To consult Le monde illustré
See you soon,
