Brass Ferrules for Netting
Neat item used to repair broken horizontals in electric netting.
Makes for a quick tidy repair. Tying knots in the string works, but doesn't always make a good connection with the metal strands. The brass ferrule helps eliminate that problem.
Common Uses
6.9mm wide at the back
.51mm thick
How to Use
- Place the replacement conductor next to the broken end of a horizontal conductor in the netting.
- Using a pliers, crimp the ferrule together so that both conductor pieces are cinched tightly by the ferrule.
- Do the same to the other end.
- The ferrule is metal and should both physically and electrically connect the broken pieces.

Nice strong ferrules that will withstand the goats!
Lynda I from Louisiana
These ferrules make fence repair easy and long lasting. I was first introduced to them in the fence repair kits, but now definitely recommend buying them in bulk.
Brynne S from Texas
Super easy and efficient to use for fixing mesh fences. Before we even got our fence turned on for the first time, our sneaky dog had chewed several holes in it in a few different places. These clamps got it working again in no time! Definitely worth buying in bulk.
Mary A from NE NY
Works well, easy to use. Buy lots! You find a lot of ways to use them on a fence.

Stone versus Swaine
Stone was a moderate Republican, born in New Hampshire and graduated from Amherst and the Columbia Law School. From 1898 through 1923 he combined, in varying degrees, teaching and deaning at Columbia with a legal practice, including a stint at Sullivan & Cromwell. In early 1924, Calvin Coolidge needed an unimpeachably upright lawyer to rehabilitate the Justice Department after the scandals of the Harding administration. His old friend from Amherst admirably served his purpose. The following year, when Coolidge needed to fill a vacant seat on the U.S. Supreme Court, Stone seemed the best choice once again.
So it was as a Supreme Court justice, but also a former denizen of the Wall Street bar, that Stone decried the waning "public influence of the bar" at the dedication of the University of Michigan's new law quadrangle in June 1934. Stone invoked such "great figures of the law" as Edward Coke, James Otis, and John Marshall who "stir the imagination and inspire our reverence according as they have used their special training and gifts for the advancement of the public interest." Yet during the Great Depression, when the nation needed the Bar's help in fashioning "remedies for our economic ills," it had not "maintained its traditional position of public influence and leadership." Instead, "the best skill and capacity of the profession" had been devoted to "exacting and highly specialized service of business and finance." The successful lawyer of Stone's day was "the proprietor or general manager of a new type of factory." At his best he exhibited "a superb proficiency and technical skill"; at his worst he became "an obsequious servant of business, tainted . . . with the morals and manners of the marketplace in its most anti-social manifestations."
Here was a challenge that demanded a response--eventually, once corporate America had regained its luster. Not until after Big Business had helped defeat the Axis did Wall Street attempt a sustained reply. The Cravath Firm (1948) was a massive history of Cravath, Swaine and Moore, authored by its senior partner, Robert T. Swaine (pictured at right). Its implicit argument was that the emergence of the corporate law firm was an inevitable and functional response to the implacable demands of a modernizing society, personified by the book's great protagonist, Paul Drennan Cravath. Why else would Swaine note the "well-nigh unbearable" pressure under which senior partners broke down at the turn of the century, why else would he acknowledge that juniors endured "torrents of invective on their stupidity," why else would he narrate, in the third person, his own capitulation to Cravath, "the dominating personality he had sought to escape," if he did not consider the modern corporate practice, with all its unpleasantness, to be neither good nor bad but merely inevitable?
Swaine made the same point to the much larger readership of the ABA Journal in 1949. Three times he quoted the "alliterative phrases of the usually temperate Chief Justice Stone," including once in the very first paragraph. Swaine grudgingly conceded that "the corporation lawyers of the previous generation might well have given greater thought to the economic and social consequences of many of the transactions in which they did the legal engineering." But Stone's "intemperate and exaggerated" indictment failed to acknowledge that the principal "function of those of us who serve industry, trade and finance" was "to do our part to keep them functioning smoothly, contributing to our national prosperity and our high standards of living and furnishing the individual opportunity which has meant America."
Stone had died almost three years earlier; just weeks before his death he had again lamented "the regrettable decline in the public influence of the Bar." It was left to the lawyers and legal historians of the 1960s and 1970s to challenge the false necessities of Swaine's history of the corporate law firm.

This is fabulous. This blog needs more short postings such as this.

Consider the roles of Wall St. lawyers and financiers through the revolving door even today. C Wright Mills' "The Power Elite" (1956, Oxford) illustrates this well in Chapter 10 "The Political Directorate." At page 232, "The three top policy-making positions in the country (secretaries of state, treasury, and defense) are occupied by a New York representative of the leading law firm of the country which does international business for Morgan and Rockefeller interests [secretary of state]; ...." (I have omitted treasury and defense.) Government service by lawyers may result in greater remuneration when back in the private sector. And then there are the lawyers who become lobbyists.

Apskip pointed out to me (correctly) that there's an alternate route from Hains Pt to the finish mat, via Highway 1 or Route 400 on the west side of the Potomac instead of I-295 on the east side. It's a toss-up on Google Maps, since the west bank routes are shorter, but are on smaller roads and have more lights. I've left the maps as they are until someone can verify if the episode shows teams travelling one way or another.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Every time I come to Pakistan these days I see more security.
Authorities beefed up security of sensitive locations in Punjab province after a suicide attack.
This time is no exception. On the road from the airport to my hotel I counted nearly a dozen police checkpoints. Two years ago, there were none.
Some police run thorough checks, look inside the trunk, under the hood, peer inside the back of the car, even open the window and ask if I'm OK -- apparently concerned I might be an unwilling passenger, a kidnap victim being taken away. Other police posts are lax, waving traffic through with nothing more than a cursory glance.
It would be foolish to think these are an effective defense against a determined bomber. Indeed, the traffic jams caused by some stop and searches are themselves a target for attackers who seem as willing to murder civilians as they are soldiers, policemen and politicians.
The reality is, a simple knowledge of the back streets is enough to bypass most police barricades. And so it is for the wider military offensive. So vast are the areas the Taliban influence that pinning them down and boxing them in is nearly impossible.
The Taliban and their supporters have become so entrenched in the Pashtu speaking lands bordering Afghanistan and wrapping northwards around the capital Islamabad that no single or even multi-pronged military offensive is going to stop them quickly.
So it is no surprise to come back after an absence of about seven weeks to discover the Taliban have organized themselves in the wake of the government crackdown against their expansionist operations in Swat.
Their depth reaches far beyond the picturesque tourist valley that had become their latest conquest, subjugated to their harsh Islamic rule.
In the past month, the Taliban backlash has grown in sophistication. Tactics mirror those used in Iraq and Afghanistan. Last Tuesday, gunmen shot their way through a checkpoint to set off a massive car bomb close enough to the biggest hotel in Peshawar to kill nine people. Watch Robertson discuss the hotel attack »
A few days earlier in the same city, attackers threw grenades at a police checkpoint and then waited for emergency service to arrive before the main bomber struck. He waded in the gathering crowd before detonating his explosives.
It doesn't mean the government is slacking off in its crackdown, but its forces can be flatfooted when it comes to responding to what Americans call asymmetric warfare -- historically known as guerrilla tactics. Hit and run.
The army has been targeting the Taliban in a range of attacks, helicopter assaults and barrages of artillery fire. Neither has it the finesse to dislodge an enemy so integrated into the local population.
What is noticeable is that Taliban attackers here are not only becoming more sophisticated but are employing indiscriminate tactics that set them apart from their Taliban brethren across the border in Afghanistan. The bulk of the Taliban's more complex attacks there are against NATO troops, killing almost one a day. Afghan civilians are being killed too but not, it seems, with quite the alacrity of the Pakistani Taliban who killed 8 people with a car bomb in a crowded market here this past weekend.
When I was here in May, the turning point for the government crackdown on the Taliban in Swat came on the back of broad popular and political support as the Taliban broke deals not to take more territory. Watch Robertson talk about covering four stories in Pakistan at one time »
With every Taliban outrage since, that same support seems to have been strengthened, giving the government courage to take its fight with the Taliban to the next logical step, broadening the offensive beyond Swat to other Taliban strongholds.
This is a massive undertaking given the thousands of mountainous square miles over which the Taliban hold sway or at the very least have sufficient allies to hide with ease.
So, far from backing down, in recent weeks the army and air force here have opened up a new front against the Taliban. This one is in South Waziristan, home of Baitullah Mehsud, leader of the Tehrik-i Taliban, or TTP.
By conflict, coercion and common cause, Mehsud pushed himself to the top of the Taliban hierarchy in December 2007 -- announcing his leadership of the newly formed umbrella group the TTP. Such is the government's belief he is the man to be toppled if the Taliban is to be defeated. Officials announced over the weekend he is now their number one target.
Killing or capturing him is going to be far from easy. A few years ago, the Taliban captured several hundred Pakistani troops in South Waziristan, only releasing them when Taliban leaders were freed from jail. And even if the army is successful reaching Mehsud, it is unlikely to be a silver bullet solution to the country's woes. The Taliban are so organized that a replacement leader will quickly be found, and even if that person proves unable to unite their numbers, they are more than capable of fighting on under a plethora of lower level commanders.
What I am finding on this visit is as alarming as it is reassuring. Checkpoints are becoming more common, but so are Taliban attacks. The government's commitment to defeating the Taliban appears as firm as it was when it began the Swat offensive during my last visit. But as the contours of the fight become clearer, the prospect of a swift victory looks ever more distant.

As we close in on Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained (only two months away!), another trailer has popped up online. While the latest domestic trailer was pretty good, this new international trailer is absolutely terrific. It provides our best look at the film yet with plenty of new footage (some could argue a little too much), plot details, and character motivations. And all of it looks amazing. Also, it's pretty easy to win me over when your spaghetti western-style movie leads off its trailer with the theme from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer. The film stars Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, M.C. Gainey, Walton Goggins, Garrett Dillahunt, Dennis Christopher, Gerald McRaney, Laura Cayouette, Don Johnson, Tom Savini, and Samuel L. Jackson. Django Unchained opens December 25th.
Via The Playlist.
Here's the official synopsis for Django Unchained:
Set in the South two years before the Civil War, DJANGO UNCHAINED stars Academy Award(R)-winner Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award(R)-winner Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles–dead or alive.

A Safer America
This is the time to talk.
There has not been a better time in recent history to have a reasoned, thoughtful deliberative dialogue about violence in America, than right now. The Newtown tragedy has simply caused a tear in the heart of this country that will only be repaired by a new way of doing things and of looking at the world we live in.
And because so many caring people are so ready to work honestly and collaboratively we can put on the table such sensitive issues as gun control, mental illness, media and entertainment, privacy and others and expect we will listen to each other, withhold judgment and prejudices and act in the best interests of the citizens of this country. And that includes people who responsibly own weapons and advocates for the rights of people with mental illness and defenders of freedom of speech. This is our opportunity to take actions that are compassionate, responsible and smart. This is our chance to re-define who we are. This is our chance to get better.

By Alec Ross
Chris Cuthbert enrolled at Queen's with dreams of being a history teacher. After his first year, he figured his job prospects in that field were slim, so in second year he switched to Psychology and Sociology, thinking he could be a guidance counselor. In third year, Cuthbert discovered CFRC, Queen's campus radio station, and the university's student newspaper, the Queen's Journal, where he began reporting on varsity sports.
And everything changed again – for good.
"That's when I realized that I was probably best suited to a media path," says Cuthbert, ArtsSci '79. "My extracurricular activities at Queen's really launched my career."
If you don't immediately recognize Cuthbert's name, you've almost certainly heard his voice. He's one of Canada's top sports broadcasters, a Gemini Award-winning veteran who's called the action at Grey Cups and Stanley Cups, the World Cup and the Olympics. When Sidney Crosby slid the puck behind U.S. goalie Ryan Miller to win hockey gold for Canada at the Vancouver Winter Olympics, Cuthbert's call of the goal started the nationwide celebration. It was the highlight of his storied career.
But none of that might have happened had Cuthbert not honed his reporting and play-by-play skills via Queen's campus media. As a kid, he was always the one barking out the play-by-play at street hockey and basketball games. Back then it was just fun. At Queen's, he realized it could be more than that.
"I thought that a job in TV or radio was kind of an unattainable pipe dream," he recalls. "But CFRC and the Queen's Journal gave me an outlet for my love of sports, allowed me to dip my toe in the water. It captured my imagination and showed me the possibilities of what I could do with it. Working there kind of validated for me that that's what I wanted to do."
Once he made up his mind, Cuthbert did everything he could to improve. He did the live play-by-play at Queen's hockey and football games. He became sports editor at the Journal. He studied other sports announcers on television and radio. He approached Max Jackson, then sports reporter at Kingston's CKWS TV, and offered to report on Queen's sports for the local CBC affiliate, for free. Jackson said yes. In time, when CKWS found itself in need of a weekend sports broadcaster, Cuthbert got the job.
"I didn't even have to audition," he recalls.
That kind of initiative, and a bit of luck, led to Cuthbert's first full-time job. A friend of Cuthbert's at McMaster University had sought a sportscaster position by placing an ad in a media trade publication. A station in Yorkton, Saskatchewan replied, asking him to send some tapes of his work. The friend didn't have any samples, so he passed the tip to Cuthbert – who, thanks to his reporting work at CFRC, did. He was hired. The fact that it meant moving to small-town Saskatchewan didn't matter. It was a foot in the door.
"That's one of the first things I kind of stress when people ask me for career advice," says Cuthbert. "Don't be shy of taking a job that might seem fairly basic out of the chute, because usually it will take you somewhere else."
That's exactly what happened a few years later, in Montreal. Cuthbert was covering the venerable Montreal Canadiens and the now-defunct Montreal Alouettes football team, when suddenly everyone started going mad for the new Montreal Manic, the city's new North American Soccer League franchise. The team needed an announcer. While Cuthbert had little knowledge of soccer, he applied for the job to broaden his experience. He got it. The twist of fate: the Impact were owned by Molson, a major sponsor of CBC's Hockey Night in Canada – and when that legendary institution went shopping for new talent, Molson suggested its executives check out Cuthbert. Bingo.
"When you're a young guy, you might aspire to the big jobs, but sometimes you're not sure exactly what the right path is," says Cuthbert. "But the more opportunities you keep open to consideration, the more chances you have of getting that breakthrough."
That was in 1984. Since then, Cuthbert has worked for CBC, CTV, NBC and covered virtually every major sports event out there, and been at the microphone for thousands of games. He's called Canadian gold-medal Olympic performances in five different sports. Today he's at TSN, serving as the play-by-play voice of the Canadian Football League.
Having travelled the road to success, Cuthbert has a keen eye for the type of young men and women who can go the distance in his world: they're the ones with drive, passion, and the wherewithal to jump on every opportunity that comes their way.
"You can tell the people that are hungry and [the ones who] just expect it," says Cuthbert. "The ones that are hungry and are willing to do the extra work are certainly going to get noticed in our business, and probably just about every business."

He also served as Director of the International Economics Program of the Institute for Research on Public Policy.

Since my time at Queen's, I have traveled the world (38 countries in total!), lived in the Middle East, and found a job I absolutely love in not-for-profit project management. A Queen's Arts and Science degree does not just open doors, it exposes you to a world of inspiration and adventure. My time in the Faculty of Arts and Science provided me with a breadth of education that is unique to the Queen's community. It was during this time that I gained my initiative to make a difference, especially from the educators and students around me. Queen's provides you with not only academic excellence, but an education filled with people and experiences that will inspire and lead you to a world of endless possibilities.
After graduating from the School of Computing with an R&D/entrepreneurial bend, I initially pursued freelance web programming work and spent my spare time working on experimental software. I eventually accepted a software R&D and consultant role at an Ottawa-based company. Working as an on-site consultant between 2008-2010 lead me to incorporate my own company, 42-Bit Solutions Inc., and pursue work that I could do from either a home office or shared (co-working) space in a large city. I enjoy mixing work with extended travel and have recently taken software projects on the road to Vancouver, Haida Gwaii and various countries in east and South Africa.
Since graduating from Queen's, Caroline went on to study law at Michigan State University. After practising law in Jacksonville, Florida she was then drawn back to Michigan State, where she began her career in legal student affairs, assuming the position of Associate Director for Student Engagement. In this role, she assists law students with academic and personal counseling, particularly with an extensive wellness and mental health focus. In addition, she organizes and runs both orientation and commencement and manages all of student life, including the student government and its 50 student groups. She reflects back on her time at Queen's as a student leader and involved in student activities with the Alma Mater Society and the Arts and Science Undergraduate Society very fondly as it shapes how she helps students in her current career.
The film industry has a reputation for being hard to break into, but if you've got creativity and hustle, your chances of a job there are better than ever. So says Michael MacMillan, a Queen's graduate who is one of Canada's most successful film and television producers.
The reason, says MacMillan, ArtsSci '78, is that the Internet and affordable video technology enable practically anyone to make a video, movie or video blog and distribute it to a potential an audience of millions. When MacMillan started out, only those with deep pockets could do that.
Today, says MacMillan, "the barrier to entry is no longer capital. It's creativity."
Still, when millions of videos are vying for attention on websites like YouTube and Vimeo, creativity by itself may not be enough. That's when entrepreneurial smarts – something that MacMillan cultivated early on – come into play.
In 1976, when he was a second-year Film Studies student at Queen's, MacMillan made a 20-minute documentary called The Academic Cloister. Its subversive message was that rather than encouraging critical thinking, Canadian universities simply reinforced the societal status quo through rote learning and intellectual conformity. Queen's, to the dismay of its administrators, played a starring role. The film was a sensation on campus.
The audacious project illustrates the kind of passion and lateral thinking it takes to get a film made. MacMillan raised $3,000 in his spare time, partly by organizing three student screenings of the Peter Sellers classic, The Pink Panther. After the second showing of the 90-minute film, MacMillan turned back the auditorium clock to give himself time to fit in a third showing. The trick worked. The screenings raked in $800, the biggest single chunk of the film's budget.
By fourth year, MacMillan was making films with several Queen's friends. But he set his future course with fellow film students Janice Platt and Seaton McLean when the trio founded Atlantis Films, a student film production company. Initially, they wrote, produced, directed, shot, and edited their films themselves, but they quickly realized that elevating their craft would require professional cinematographers, directors, editors and many others. The students' role would be to raise money and buzz and bring the right people together.
In a few short years, Atlantis evolved into one of Canada's most successful film and TV production companies. It won an Oscar in 1984 for a short film called Boys and Girls and snagged an Emmy in 1992 for Lost in the Barrens, a TV drama based Farley Mowat's young adult novel of the same name. It launched the Life Network (link is external)in 1993, and five years later purchased another film company, Alliance, to form Alliance Atlantis (link is external), which went on to own and manage 13 television networks including Food Network (link is external), HGTV (link is external) and Showcase (link is external). These have contributed to an overall output of Canadian TV and film that MacMillan describes as "astonishingly large."
MacMillan retired from the business after CanWest Global Communications and Goldman Sachs acquired Alliance Atlantis in 2007. Two years later, with fellow Queen's grad Alison Loat, Artsci '99, he co-founded Samara (link is external), a charity that aims to increase political participation in Canada. (MacMillan and Loat recently co-wrote Tragedy in the Commons, a book (link is external) that draws on exit interviews with 80 former members of Parliament to suggest how Canadian democracy can be improved.)
But MacMillan can't resist the entertainment game. He now heads Blue Ant Media (link is external), a private media company that owns brands including Cottage Life (link is external), Outdoor Canada (link is external), Travel + Escape (link is external), and a number of other web, mobile, TV, magazine properties. The firm is based in Toronto, but its reach is global.
After almost 40 years in the Canadian film and TV industry, MacMillan has some definite ideas about what it takes to succeed there. Creativity and talent head the list, along with the willingness to put in hard work and long hours to help your project succeed.
But even these may not be enough. "There's a tsunami of creativity and creative expression available," says MacMillan. "Today, the key things that will distinguish [an artist] are creativity, imagination and talent on one hand, and marketing skills – or power or clout or imagination – to draw attention to your film or documentary or whatever it is, as opposed to the gazillion other ones."
Since film is a collective endeavour, MacMillan encourages people to imagine how their individual talents, or role, might fit in with those of others. Keeping abreast of technological change and the potential applications of new technology is also smart.
Finally, says MacMillan, the Internet and global trade has forced his industry, and those working in it, to adopt an international focus and attitude.
"If you believe the Internet is here to stay, then you'll think that the geographical boundaries between one country and another – not political boundaries, but how rights are created and bought and sold and what a natural market is – are going to blur."
"If I were 22 years old," says MacMillan, "I'd say, 'Wow! That is a huge sandbox to play in!'"
In 2011, the Honourable Peter Milliken, retired as Liberal MP for Kingston and the Islands and as the 34th Speaker of the House of Commons after 10 years in the chair—the longest serving in Canadian history. He was widely praised by government and opposition MPs for his rulings, which were considered very fair. Every year while serving as Speaker, Milliken made it clear he had not forgotten his Queen's days and arranged for Queen's Model Parliament to hold its annual sessions in the actual House of Commons. In 2001, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the State University of New York at Potsdam. Since choosing not to stand for re-election in 2011, Milliken joined the Kingston law firm of Cunningham, Swan, Carty, Little & Bonham and has taken up an appointment as a Fellow of Queen's School of Policy Studies. Milliken was appointed to the Queen's Privy Council for Canada in 2012, giving him the accordant style of "The Honourable" for life. In 2013, Milliken received the annual Alumni Achievement Award, the highest honour the Queen's Alumni Association bestows.

25 Things That You Should Do To Get Prepared For The Coming Economic Collapse
Posted by: Frank Roman on: 04/09/2013 07:37 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
It's a safe bet most if not all of the 'preppers' cited in the article below are white Americans, the only demographic that truly matters as far as we're concerned.http://www.europeanamericansunited.org/home/node/24
Do you think that you know how to prepare for the collapse of the economy? If so, are you putting that knowledge into action? In America today, people are more concerned about the possibility of an economic collapse than ever before. It has been estimated that there are now three million preppers in the United States. But the truth that nobody really knows the actual number, because a lot of preppers keep their "prepping" to themselves. So what are all of those people preparing for exactly?
Well, survey after survey has shown that "economic collapse" is the number one potential disaster that preppers are most concerned about. Of course that shouldn't be surprising because we truly are facing economic problems that are absolutely unprecedented. We are living in the greatest debt bubble in the history of the world, the global banking system has been transformed into a high-risk pyramid scheme of debt, risk and leverage that could collapse at any time, and wealthy countries such as the United States have been living way above their means for decades.
Meanwhile, the United States is being deindustrialized at a blinding pace and poverty in this country is absolutely exploding. Anyone that is not concerned about the economy should have their head examined. Fortunately, I have found that an increasing number of Americans are becoming convinced that we are heading for a horrific economic crisis. Once they come to that realization, they want to know what they should do.
And the reality is that "getting prepared" is going to look different for each family based on their own unique circumstances. Some people have a lot of resources, while others have very little. Some people are very independent of the system and can move wherever they want, while others are totally dependent on their jobs and must stay near the cities at least for now.
In addition, it is important to distinguish between the "short-term" and the "long-term" when talking about economic collapse. As I have written about previously, our economic collapse is not going to happen all at once. It is going to unfold over time. In the "short-term", many are moving money around and are building up "emergency funds" to prepare for the next recession. For the "long-term", many are storing up food and huge stockpiles of survival supplies in order to be prepared for the total collapse of society. Both approaches are wise, but it is important to keep in mind that different approaches will be needed at different times.
The strategies posted below are a mix of both short-term and long-term strategies. Some will be important for our immediate future, while others may not be needed for a number of years. But in the end, you will be very thankful for the time and the effort that you spent getting prepared while you still could.
The following are 25 things that you should do to get prepared for the coming economic collapse...

Rosedale Mennonite Church (Rosedale, Alberta, Canada)
The Rosedale Mennonite congregation at Rosedale, AB began services about 1927. C.D. Harder is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through immigration from the Soviet Union.
The drought and economic depression during the thirties and the closing of the coal mine in the area caused most of the Mennonite settlers to move away.
The congregation dissolved in the 1930s. It had been affiliated with the Conference of Mennonites in Canada since 1929. The language of worship was German.

Many schools will be closed or have early dismissals.
I don't know about that solar business, the arguments about how global warming leads to cold weather sound pretty convincing to me.
pathfinder,Your right about the self serving media in New York and especially east Jersey and NYC but this will be pretty bad. The high winds and wet heavy snow will take out as much electricity perhaps more then ice storms usually do. I would say the store shelves will be stripped by about 1400 today,
What you are seeing this year is the natural result of a solar minimum just as we saw the natural results of a solar maximum in the late 90s.
Cities likely to be impacted by heavy snow for all or at least part of the storm include: New York City, Albany, Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton, Scranton, Allentown, Reading, Williamsport and Burlington.
And here I am in balmy sixty degree weather in WA, with not a touch of snow all winter.

Ready for some thrills? Summer 2012 brings new heart-stopping rides and dazzling entertainment to the nation's theme parks. Here's what's new:
Transformers: The Ride-3D (Universal Studios, Hollywood)
Fusing high definition 3D media and flight simulation technology, visitors can expect to feel like they are right in the middle of a Transformers war zone. "Transformers" director Michael Bay collaborated on the ride, which places attendees mid-battle alongside Optimus Prime in his quest to ensure that the AllSpark doesn't fall into the metallic clutches of the evil Decepticons. Visually immersive, the ride comprises a mobile in-car experience housed within a 60,000 square foot, four-story-high sound stage. Bumblebee and Megatron, of course, are on hand as each car moves along 2,000 feet of track at speeds up to 60 miles per hour. Fourteen screens ensure the surrounding images are seamless from floor to ceiling as water, heat and wind elements are used to create the most realistic ride possible.
Opening May 25.
Skyrush (Hersheypark, Hershey, Pa.)
The name practically says it all: Riders are placed in a winged seating arrangement (four seats per car, two with flooring and two without) and then shot 200 feet into the air before being plunged down an 85 degree descent. The route incorporates four high-speed banking curves and five zero-G airtime hills with a top speed of 75 miles per hour. The coaster's motto is "Ride the Edge," which refers to the two passengers on the outer sides of the seating configuration, which is a first of its kind in the world. Skyrush takes its place alongside Hershey's 12 other roller coasters – these include Fahrenheit, Great Bear, Sidewinder and Wildcat, all classified as "aggressive thrill rides" by the operator.
Opening May 26.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Manta (SeaWorld, San Diego, Calif.)
Now here's a ride that truly is "immersive." Taking cues from its namesake, SeaWorld's latest attraction transitions you from viewing rays in underwater flight to actually experiencing flight above the waves. Paired with a 100,000-gallon aquarium and outdoor ray pool, the coaster twists and turns in what is the first major new attraction for the theme park in seven years. Due to San Diego's strict height restrictions along the coastline, the Manta can lift riders no higher than 30 feet, resulting in a ride that is a low to the ground speed frenzy of sharp banks and turns. To ensure that stomach dropping feeling remains, the coaster incorporates a drop that descends 54 feet underground. The five-car trains seat passengers two-abreast in two rows for a total of 20 riders per train, with the second row of each car featuring elevated seating to ensure all riders get the same thrilling view.
Opening May 26.
Verbolten (Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, Va.)
Here's a ride for the vertically-challenged among us! Verbolten's low 48-inch height requirement means adult thrill-riders now have an attraction they can share with the smaller, next generation of coaster riders. Verbolten is the capstone of a two-year rejuvenation project in the park's Oktoberfest village and features cars shaped like, well, cars. With a storyline inspired by Grimm's fairy tales, the ride takes visitors on a high-speed drive along the German autobahn before detouring through the forbidden Black Forest. At 2,800 feet long the experience lasts 3 ½ minutes and will travel up to speeds of 55 mph. True, not quite the autobahns free-for-all when it comes to speed limits, but fast enough to give you the coaster rush you're looking for.
Opening May 18.
Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom (Six Flags Magic Mountain, Valencia, Calif.)
This 400-foot fall attraction is billed as the world's tallest vertical drop ride. Riders are placed in on one of two eight-person gondolas situated on either side of the tower. These gondolas then climb the 415 feet of steel in a staggering 95 seconds (just enough time to gape at the surrounding landscape) before free-falling back to earth at 85 mph. Lex Luthor is physically integrated into the existing, backward-launching Superman: Escape from Krypton. What that means is as you descend, you may just feel a whoosh of air in the opposite direction as a cart blasts up the tower behind you. The entire experience lasts little more than two minutes, but those stomach-floating moments as your body begins to free fall are really what this ride is all about.
Opening mid-June.

The city of Toronto has come to the aid of Corey Haim's family, Corey's mother, Judy Haim, told Access Hollywood's Maria Menounos on Saturday.
The city will be covering the cost of the late star's funeral on Tuesday. Judy added that Startifacts.com, a celebrity memorabilia site, had offered to cover additional costs — Corey's tombstone, food, guests and other miscellaneous expenses — though it has not yet provided such funds.
Earlier on Saturday, a rep for Startifacts.com told Access that the site has offered $20,000 to the Haim family to help cover funeral costs and other expenses.
According to the rep, site owner Michael Kronick first befriended the troubled actor in the early 2000s, buying a number of personal items from him. Upon hearing the news of Corey's death, the site reached out to the family to provide assistance.
As previously reported by AccessHollywood.com, Haim friend and fellow former child actor Scott Schwartz had been organizing the late star's belongings to sell on eBay in order to raise money for the funeral, which the rep said Startifacts has since purchased directly.
However, as of Saturday afternoon, three items from Corey's personal wardrobe remained up for auction on Schwartz's eBay page.
The rep said the site plans to hold future benefit auctions with the memorabilia, but in the meantime, intends on giving the family a $20,000 check at the funeral on Tuesday.
Tthe family, which reached out to the public on Friday for aid, is still in need of financial assistance, which fans can provide via the Corey Haim Memorial Fund.
"We gave that money out of the goodness of our heart, but we do work with so many celebrities and we always try to help them out, especially when they're hard on cash," the Startifacts rep said, urging that Corey fans continue to support Judy – who is battling cancer and undergoing chemotherapy - by donating to the Memorial Fund.
Judy told Access last week that she was informed by the LA County Corner's Office that her son had died of pulmonary congestion. His toxicology report is expected to be released in six to eight weeks. The actor died in the early morning hours of March 10.

Win10 1703: random slow login (AppXSVC)
I have random win10 1730 computers with a 5 min or more login. But the default profile is small (2 mb), and I don't see any big cpu or disk usage after login, or even with windows performance toolkit. A reboot seems to fix it, but the problem comes back randomly.

I'm suspecting the "AppX Deployment Service" (svchost.exe -k wsappx -s AppXSvc), that uses 3 min 44 sec of kernel cpu during about a 5 minute login. I saw it in the process activity summary.
I'm tempted to set it to delayed start, but the option is greyed out.
I see it now. It max's at 25% cpu on a 4 cpu computer.

It seems that this registry area grows without bounds: 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModel\Deployment\Package\*'. The keys are named after the sid's of each created profile. Even if the profile is deleted, the keys remain until a reboot. Appxsvc seems to use many hours of cpu time at normal priority, if there are a lot of keys here. I might run a cleanup script every morning. I don't know if I want to completely disable the Store.

Actually that key under HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\ gets cleaned after a reboot. Or I've come up with this powershell code to clean it up. Sid's for deleted profiles gather in a lot of different places in the registry and file system. This is a big problem.
$sids = Get-CimInstance win32_userprofile | select -expand sid $keys = ls 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\classes\local settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModel\Deployment\Package\*\*' $DeleteList = $keys | where { $_.PSChildName -ne 'AllUsers' -and -not ($_.PSChildName -in $sids) } $DeleteList | rm -r -verbose exit $DeleteList.count

when these are all on a machine with 1000's of deleted profiles, it would be fair to state this immediately in your first post of the thread, and link to the other threads (or perhaps keep it to one thread?)

Toronto Blue Jays' right fielder José Bautista has become the new face of General Mills cereal, with his image set to appear on boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Golden Grahams Crunch.
The Major League Baseball (MLB) star has signed the 'limited time' deal with General Mills Canada, which will donate US$10,000 each to the Bautista Family Education Fund, the Jays Care Foundation and the Breakfast Clubs of Canada charities as part of the agreement with the Dominican.
The partnership came about after the player posted images of himself with boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Golden Grahams Crunch cereals to social media last year, proclaiming his love for the products.
"We saw the photos José was posting and just knew we had to talk," said Dale Storey, vice president of marketing, consumer insights and trade marketing at General Mills Canada. "We're absolutely thrilled to have an athlete as excellent and as popular as José Bautista adorning our cereal boxes
"Not only is José Bautista loved by baseball fans all across Canada, he personally loves both Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Golden Grahams Crunch – so it's a true grand slam of a partnership."
For his own part, Bautista said: "It's true – these are my favourite cereals, so I'm really excited to partner on this project. Besides the fact that I love many of General Mills' products – especially a bowl of Golden Grahams or Cinnamon Toast Crunch after a game – I also feel connected to the company's values and its belief in giving back to the community, especially to young people. I'm especially pleased that they're supporting the Bautista Family Education Fund, the Jays Care Foundation, and Breakfast Clubs of Canada."
In November 2015, 35-year-old Bautista had his contract with the Jays extended for a further year.

Needed a really simple solution to embed audio files within page content and couldn't find a module for that, so here we go. Textformatter Audio Embed works a bit like Textformatter Video Embed, converting this:

https://www.domain.tld/path/to/file.mp3
 Into this:
<audio controls class="TextformatterAudioEmbed"> <source src="https://www.domain.tld/path/to/file.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"> </audio> The audio element has pretty good browser support, so quite often this should be enough to get things rolling 🙂

[SOLVED] How/can you add/append InputfieldWrapper to api generated Fieldgroup used as template for page?By Chris Bennett
Hi all, I am going round and round in circles and would greatly appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction.
I am sure I am doing something dumb, or missing something I should know, but don't. Story of my life 😉
Playing round with a module and my basic problem is I want to upload an image and also use InputfieldMarkup and other Inputfields.
Going back and forth between trying an api generated page defining Fieldgroup, Template, Fields, Page and the InputfieldWrapper method.
InputfieldWrapper method works great for all the markup stuff, but I just can't wrap my head around what I need to do to save the image to the database.
Can generate a Field for it (thanks to the api investigations) but not sure what I need to do to link the Inputfield to that. Tried a lot of stuff from various threads, of varying dates without luck.
Undoubtedly not helped by me not knowing enough.
Defining Fieldgroup etc through the api seems nice and clean and works great for the images but I can't wrap my head around how/if I can add/append/hook the InputfieldWrapper/InputfieldMarkup stuff I'd like to include on that template as well. Not even sure if it should be where it is on ___install with the Fieldtype stuff or later on . Not getting Tracy errors, just nothing seems to happen.
If anyone has any ideas or can point me in the right direction, that would be great because at the moment I am stumbling round in the dark.
public function ___install() { parent::___install(); $page = $this->pages->get('name='.self::PAGE_NAME); if (!$page->id) { // Create fieldgroup, template, fields and page // Create new fieldgroup $fmFieldgroup = new Fieldgroup(); $fmFieldgroup->name = MODULE_NAME.'-fieldgroup'; $fmFieldgroup->add($this->fields->get('title')); // needed title field $fmFieldgroup->save(); // Create new template using the fieldgroup $fmTemplate = new Template(); $fmTemplate->name = MODULE_NAME; $fmTemplate->fieldgroup = $fmFieldgroup; $fmTemplate->noSettings = 1; $fmTemplate->noChildren = 1; $fmTemplate->allowNewPages = 0; $fmTemplate->tabContent = MODULE_NAME; $fmTemplate->noChangeTemplate = 1; $fmTemplate->setIcon(ICON); $fmTemplate->save(); // Favicon source $fmField = new Field(); $fmField->type = $this->modules->get("FieldtypeImage"); $fmField->name = 'fmFavicon'; $fmField->label = 'Favicon'; $fmField->focusMode = 'off'; $fmField->gridMode = 'grid'; $fmField->extensions = 'svg png'; $fmField->columnWidth = 50; $fmField->collapsed = Inputfield::collapsedNever; $fmField->setIcon(ICON); $fmField->addTag(MODULE_NAME); $fmField->save(); $fmFieldgroup->add($fmField); // Favicon Silhouette source $fmField = new Field(); $fmField->type = $this->modules->get("FieldtypeImage"); $fmField->name = 'fmFaviconSilhouette'; $fmField->label = 'SVG Silhouette'; $fmField->notes = 'When creating a silhouette/mask svg version for Safari Pinned Tabs and Windows Tiles, we recommend setting your viewbox for 0 0 16 16, as this is what Apple requires.

Since it's featured in ProcessWire Weekly #310, now is the time to make it official:
Here is Twack!
I really like the following introduction from ProcessWire Weekly, so I hope it is ok if I use it here, too. Look at the project's README for more details!
Twack is a new — or rather newish — third party module for ProcessWire that provides support for reusable components in an Angular-inspired way. Twack is implemented as an installable module, and a collection of helper and base classes. Key concepts introduced by this module are:
Components, which have separate views and controllers. Views are simple PHP files that handle the output for the component, whereas controllers extend the TwackComponent base class and provide additional data handling capabilities. Services, which are singletons that provide a shared service where components can request data. The README for Twack uses a NewsService, which returns data related to news items, as an example of a service. Twack components are designed for reusability and encapsulating a set of features for easy maintainability, can handle hierarchical or recursive use (child components), and are simple to integrate with an existing site — even when said site wasn't originally developed with Twack.
A very basic Twack component view could look something like this:
<?php namespace ProcessWire; ?>
Hello World!
 And here's how you could render it via the API:
<?php namespace Processwire; $twack = $modules->get('Twack'); $hello = $twack->getNewComponent('HelloWorld'); ?>   <title>Hello World</title>   <?= $hello->render() ?>   Now, just to add a bit more context, here's a simple component controller:
<?php namespace ProcessWire; class HelloWorld extends TwackComponent { public function __construct($args) { parent::__construct($args); $this->title = 'Hello World!'; if(isset($args['title'])) { $this->title = $args['title']; } } } As you can see, there's not a whole lot new stuff to learn here if you'd like to give Twack a try in one of your projects. The Twack README provides a really informative and easy to follow introduction to all the key concepts (as well as some additional examples) so be sure to check that out before getting started.
Twack is in development for several years and I use it for every new project I build. Also integrated is an easy to handle workflow to make outputs as JSON, so it can be used to build responses for a REST-api as well. I will work that out in one section in the readme as well.
If you want to see the module in an actual project, I have published the code of www.musical-fabrik.de in a repository. It runs completely with Twack and has an app-endpoint with ajax-output as well.
I really look forward to hear, what you think of Twack🥳!

Page Reference Default Value
Most ProcessWire core inputfield types that can be used with a Page Reference field support a "Default value" setting. This module extends support for default values to the following core inputfield types:
Page List Select Page List Select Multiple Page Autocomplete (single and multiple) Seeing as these inputfield types only support the selection of pages a Page List Select / Page List Select Multiple is used for defining the default value instead of the Text / Textarea field used by the core for other inputfield types. This makes defining a default value a bit more user-friendly.
Note that as per the core "Default value" setting, the Page Reference field must be set to "required" in order for the default value to be used.

Have you kept any old certificates?
Sadly my Mum didn't keep many of the few certificates I got when I was growing up so I haven't got those mementos that are also great memory joggers for events that were significant in my life.
I tried to keep all sorts of stuff relating to my children's journey through childhood and adolescence so that there is some sort of record of the milestones in their lives. Now I never seem to throw anything out although I am starting to scan and discard some things like tickets and programs.
But I keep and treasure the certificates I get from various events. I will treasure the latest addition to my collection, a Certificate of Appreciation from The Central Coast Family History Society that I was given after presenting a session to them on the weekend. The certificate has been scanned and the original placed in my genealogy folder.

I have all my school commendations & certificates right up to those I have acquired as an adult. I also have all my school reports. My grandmother kept those of my Mum & I have those too. Sadly, we have almost nothing of my husband's but do have his passing out bits from the Navy & Prison Service. Perhaps I might scan a few bits and do a blog post one day.
Talking of tickets & programmes I came across the copy of my ticket, info & the advert for the Gertude Jekyll exhibition in London in......1993.

Big Oil is taking the political stage once again in California. This time the industry is weighing in on Proposition 23, the initiative that would delay implementation of AB 32--California's new greenhouse emission law--until unemployment in the state stays below 5.5 percent for four consecutive quarters. Inasmuch as the current unemployment rate is north of 12 percent, passage of Proposition 23 could postpone implementation for years, maybe decades.
That would suit Big Oil just fine. Inasmuch as the heart of AB32 focuses on carbon emissions, the oil industry has a lot at stake. From their perspective, once in place AB32 will lessen reliance on their emissions-yielding products. As for whatever "green" jobs might be created in a less polluted environment, well, that's just not their concern.
To facilitate success, Big Oil is pouring money into the "Yes on 23" campaign. Proponents have raised $8.2 million and counting. And 97 percent of that money has come from oil industry companies.
The lion's share of the money has been donated by out of state interests. The thinking is if the oil lobby can stop the environmental movement in California, that good fortune will spillover to other states not to mention pending congressional legislation.
This isn't the first time that Big Oil has responded to a big threat in California. In 2006, the industry spent more than $100 million to defeat Proposition 87, a proposal that would have taxed oil somewhere between 1.5 percent and 6 percent, depending upon the price of the commodity. As such, California remains the only major oil-producing state without an oil severance tax. That success has continued. With California struggling to find new revenues for an out-of-balance budget, Big Oil has defeated one legislative attempt after another to tax production.
Now, Big Oil is taking the offense instead of the defense. IfProposition 23 passes, the industry will yet again demonstrate its might in California's interest group-laden environment. And with so much at stake, it's likely that Big Oil will finance its effort mightily between now and election day.

Friends of Conservation – Friends of the Masai Mara
In every part of the world, climate change is having devastating long-term impacts, threatening the future of wildlife and displacing ecosystems. The Greater Masai Mara Region of Kenya is no exception. Last year, tidal waves of drought swept through the area, before the long-delayed rains finally arrived.
The Masai Mara region is the Kenyan portion of the world-renowned Mara-Serengeti Ecosystem, which spans the Kenya-Tanzania border. Each year, the Great Migration, one of the most eagerly awaited wildlife spectacles on Earth, occurs there and in the northern Serengeti. The area is also a valuable resource for the Maasai people, who have inhabited the region for centuries.
Friends of Conservation works to protect and conserve this area. We work with local partners to support traditional and sustainable ways of living in harmony with the environment, and to promote climate change solutions, conservation, and health initiatives in local communities. For example, we work hand-in-hand with the Maasai people to reforest land that has been degraded, to restore natural habitat, and to develop energy options that reduce the use of forest resources. Each year, we engage more than half of the region's 10,000 students in environmental programs, through Conservation Clubs in schools. In addition, our Mobile Education Unit brings the message of conservation to remote regions, reaching some of the more than 50 percent of Maasai children who do not attend school.

My dearest son.
My adorable little man.
Do you have a death wish? Or are you secretly plotting to have me keel over before my time due to sleep deprivation and sheer frustration?
I understand that you don't need to sleep. I understand that your brain is wired in some fantabulous way that means that you can function with a bees dick worth of sleep and wake bouncing off the walls.
Yeah I get that.
But Mummy can't. Sorry about that.
So when you sleep for a couple of hours a night for 3 weeks straight Mummy gets a little cranky. Mummy doesn't want to play Hyperdash, or endless Boo-draws-a-random-shape-in-the-air-and-Mummy-has-to-guess-what-it-is-or-Boo-has-a -freaking-meltdown games. Or listen to Spongebob Squarepants, The Sweet Escape, Bohemian Rhapsody, Shrek 12 Days of Christmas and a hundred freaking episodes of Homestar Runner on loop. All. At. The. Same. Time.
All day and night.
Sometimes Mummy likes to rest. Sometimes Mummy sits on the couch with her eyes shut. But Mummy never likes to be greeted with a poke in the eye or a yell in the ear of 'Wake up I hungry'.
A gentle shake on the shoulder or a kiss would be preferable.
When Mummy is sleeping it is not a good idea to:
- Smear your poo or toothpaste on the walls, floors, toys, lounge suite or bunny.
- Empty the contents of the pantry on the kitchen benches to make a shop.
- Write on the walls. With mustard.
- Call random numbers you hear on the radio or the TV. Especially the ones that talk about getting a better erection or those chicks that want to talk to you noooow.
- Wake Mummy by the aforementioned means or with a Teletubbie inches from her face while chanting 'Kill Kill Kill'
Or any of the
crazy arsed unusual things that you find amusing and entertaining.
If it usually results in Mummy exclaiming 'Oh Boo!' it is probably not a good idea.
Especially when Mummy is
dragging her arse around tired. And I tell you when I am tired.
OK, here is the deal. You sleep. Mummy gets sleep. The End.
Or I will be forced to do something you hate. Despise. That makes you run out of the vicinity screaming with the horror of it all.
I will sing.
Oh yeah buddy, I will sing loud. With smiling. And over emphasised actions. That I make up myself. That are vastly different to the Boo ordained actions that are acceptable in this household.
Or I will inform the military of your secret super nada sleeping powers. I am sure that they will be very interested……
Your choice buddy.
Love you,
I have offered Moo cold hard CASH to watch Boo for me tonight. I am going to bed. At 9pm.
