I finally got around to working more on my command line tool to flash the DEVKIT-MPC57xx boards without having to launch Eclipse: GitHub - jed-frey/opensda_flasher
It uses Python to call GDB and the PE GDB Server. Can be added to Jenkins to flash files after they've been compiled for unit testing. Can load to flash and to RAM (to avoid wear).
pip install git+https://github.com/jed-frey/opensda_flasher.git#egg=opensda_flasher
- Program an elf to the device flash:
opensda_flasher flash C:\NXP\workspaceS32DS.Power12\ADC_MPC5744P\Debug\ADC_MPC5744P.elf
- Program an elf to the device RAM:
opensda_flasher debug C:\NXP\workspaceS32DS.Power12\ADC_MPC5744P\Debug_RAM\ADC_MPC5744P.elf
- Create a local init. This can be used to customize the settings. By default this is saved to
opensda_flasher init
- Program an elf to the device flash with local config settings. osf may be used interchangeably with opensda_flasher
osf --config osf.ini flash C:\NXP\workspaceS32DS.Power12\ADC_MPC5744P\Debug\ADC_MPC5744P.elf
- Create a custom local init. The elf files can also be stored in the init.
osf --config=adc.ini init C:\NXP\workspaceS32DS.Power12\ADC_MPC5744P\Debug\ADC_MPC5744P.elf
Then use the config to flash the elf.
osf --config=adc.ini flash

We had several requests for the free summer movie schedule at the Destin Commons 14 Rave theater. I came across the information on the Abrakadoodle Facebook page so I wanted to share it here. We are still looking for the Ridge schedule and the Gulf Breeze schedule (if either are participating in free movies this summer). If you come across the schedule before us, we would appreciate it if you email it to us using the Contact Form!
Abrakadoodle, a mobile art educaton program, will be holding DC Kids Artful Play every Wednesday before the movie. Join Abrakadoodle at 9am for an art project in the Destin Commons 14 Rave lobby! I am not sure if there is a cost associated with the project.
The Destin Commons 14 Rave Free Family Film Festival schedule is as follows:
May 24th and 25th – Megamind
May 31st and June 1st – Yogi Bear
June 7th and 8th – Diary of a Wimpy Kid
June 13th and 14th – Marmaduke
June 21st and 22nd – Ramona and Beezus
June 28th and 29th – Percy Jackson
July 5th and 6th – Chronicles of Narnia 3
July 12th and 13th – Gulliver's Travels
*Please note that the Abrakadoodle flyer only lists the Wednesday dates because that is when the Artful Play is. According to the main Rave Motion Pictures website, the Free Family Film Festival will occur on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. As always, we advise calling ahead if you aren't sure!

- Abstract
- The quality of sleep has a great relationship with health. The result of sleep stage classification is an important indicator to measure the quality of sleep. It was found that the symbolic transfer entropy about wake and the first stage of non-rapid eye movement sleep reflect on the changes of sleep stage. And it was confirmed by T test and multi-samples experiments. The symbolic transfer entropy can apply into automatic sleep stage classification. By Multi-parameter analysis it could achieve a higher accuracy of sleep stage classification.

MEVS and QEVS postponed to next year
The event which was originally scheduled to take place from April 24 to 26, 2020 had to be postponed to June 13, 14 and 15, 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis. Unfortunately, the decision of the city of Montreal to cancel all public events until July 2 requires us to postpone the Montreal Electric Vehicle Show next year, on April 23, 24 and 25, 2021 at the Olympic Stadium.
The Quebec Electric Vehicle Show, which was to take place from May 22 to 24, 2020, had still not been postponed, but the decision of Quebec government to maintain the confinement until May 4, also forces us to postpone this event also next year, on May 14, 15 and 16, 2021 at the Centre de foires de Québec.
Taking into account the situation, we have decided to temporarily suspend all our web communications until after Labor Day (Monday, September 7, 2019 this year). Beyond the broadcast of our newsletter (every Monday morning, 8am), this decision also affects the daily updates of our websites, Facebook pages and Twitter feed. Unless otherwise advised by the health and government authorities, the first update of our websites would start on Tuesday, September 8th and the first newsletter would be distributed to our thousands of subscribers on Monday, September 14.
You must understand that the postponement of these events is part of a situation beyond our control given the dangerousness of this epidemic, and know that our responsibility as organizer of events is of course safety, health and the well-being of our employees, customers and visitors.
The return of good weather next spring will bring tens of thousands of visitors to come and try, compare and learn more about electric mobility. Be present in 2021, at these most important events which have now become unavoidable in the field of transport electrification, which will be even more awaited!
Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to meeting you in April and May 2021.

Newcastle To Put Fourth New Kit Of Season On Sale
Newcastle United are to put their fourth new kit of the season on sale.
The latest kit with the season only two months old, will go on sale on Saturday 1st November.
The first team wore the shirt for the Real Sociedad ore-season friendly but are unlikely to be seen wearing it again in public.
With such poor sales of the other three kits, it does seem a bit strange as to why United are launching yet another one, unless the reasoning is that it is aimed at the people who still feel compelled to buy every new kit that appears.
A shame that Mike Ashley can't do something a bit imaginative to dredge up at least some feelgood factor amongst fans, such as drop Wonga off the shirt and give the proceeds of the shirt sales to a local charity/charities.
Sadly the Newcastle owner fails to comprehend that doing something like this, while it wouldn't make money for the club instantly, it would in the long-term as the positivity generated towards the club would equal cash eventually.
The shirt will cost £44.99 for adults (£34.99) for kids and only members of the club are allowed to buy this 'exclusive' shirt – fill your boots…

You can find the basics of the Ohio health insurance marketplace and upcoming open enrollment period; a brief overview of Medicaid expansion in Ohio; a quick look at short-term health insurance availability in the state; statistics about state-specific Medicare rules; as well as a collection of health insurance resources for Ohio residents.
Ohio's health insurance marketplace
Ohio has a federally facilitated exchange, which means residents in Ohio use HealthCare.gov to enroll in exchange plans. But Ohio is one of seven states that participates in plan management and the qualified health plan (QHP) certification process.
Read our overview of the Ohio health insurance marketplace – including news updates and exchange history.
Open enrollment period and dates
Open enrollment in Ohio for 2020 individual-market coverage (on- and off-exchange) has ended. Outside of the open enrollment window, Ohio residents must have a qualifying event in order to purchase regular major medical coverage. The next open enrollment period, for plans effective in 2021, will begin November 1, 2020.
During the open enrollment for 2020 coverage, 196,806 Ohioans enrolled in individual-market plans through the state's exchange, down about 19 percent from 2016, when nearly 244,000 people enrolled. In most states that use HealthCare.gov, enrollment peaked in 2016 and has declined since then.
This is due to a variety of factors, including increasing premiums for people who don't qualify for premium subsidies, confusion about the legal status of the ACA (due to GOP efforts to repeal the law via legislation and court cases), the expansion of short-term plans, and the elimination of the individual mandate penalty at the end of 2018.
Insurance companies in the Ohio health insurance marketplace
For 2020, ten insurers are offering plans in Ohio's exchange, and nearly all of the state's residents can select from among at least two insurers in the exchange. In 2018, residents in 42 of Ohio's 88 counties had only one available insurer. That dropped to 16 counties in 2019, and thanks to coverage area expansions, Logan County is the only area of the state where just a single insurer offers exchange plans for 2020.
The insurers offering plans in Ohio's exchange for 2020 include:
- AultCare
- Ambetter (Buckeye Community Health Plan)
- CareSource (plans are available in 60 counties in 2019. CareSource's 2020 filing indicates a coverage area expansion but does not clarify the details)
- Community Insurance Company (Anthem BCBS) (rejoined the exchange as of 29, after exiting at the end of 2017)
- Medical Health Insuring Corp. of Ohio (Medical Mutual)
- Molina (expanding coverage area to a total of 39 counties in 2020)
- Oscar Buckeye State Insurance Corporation (available in the Columbus and Cleveland metro areas)
- Oscar Insurance Corporation of Ohio
- Paramount
- Summa

Medicaid expansion in Ohio
Ohio's acceptance of federal funding to expand Medicaid eligibility to 138 percent of poverty has played a significant role in the state's success with Obamacare.
Between 2013 and July 2018, the state saw an increase of almost 600,000 people covered by Medicaid and CHIP. By late 2019, however, the net increase in Medicaid/CHIP enrollment in Ohio had dropped to under 500,000 people. (In most states, Medicaid enrollment grew sharply for about two years after expansion was implemented, and then plateaued; in some cases, it has declined since then due to changes in the way a state verifies eligibility, improving economic conditions in the state, etc.).

Short-term health insurance in Ohio
The Trump administration relaxed the federal rules for short-term plans in 2018, allowing them to have much longer durations, including extensive renewals. But the new rules are clear in noting that states can impose stricter guidelines. Ohio allows short-term health insurance plans to have terms of up to 364 days, but renewals are prohibited.
Read more about short-term health plans in Ohio.
How has Obamacare helped the Buckeye State?
Under the ACA, Ohio's federally facilitated exchange and expanded Medicaid program both helped residents gain health coverage. During the first open enrollment period, equal numbers of people enrolled in private plans and Medicaid.
The state's uninsured rate has dropped significantly as a result of the ACA, in large part due to the state's expansion of Medicaid. According to U.S. Census data, Ohio's uninsured rate stood at 6.5 percent in 2018, down from 11 percent in 2013. It had been even lower in 2017, but there has been a nationwide increase in the uninsured rate under the Trump administration.
Ohio and the Affordable Care Act
Ohio's U.S. Senators are split on healthcare reform. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat, supports the ACA, while Rob Portman, a Republican, is a vocal opponent of the ACA.
In the House, Ohio's delegates now include 12 Republicans and just four Democrats. Only one of those Republicans – David Joyce, who won re-election in 2018 – voted against the GOP's American Health Care Act, which was an effort to repeal the ACA.
Ohio's state legislature has a strong Republican majority, and former Governor John Kasich, also a Republican, was not a fan of the ACA in general. (He didn't see it as being effective in reducing healthcare costs and claimed it was "messing up the economy.") So it's no surprise that Ohio opted for a federally facilitated exchange rather than running its own exchange.
But Kasich broke ranks with most of his fellow Republican governors – and with his state's legislature – in opting to expand Medicaid in Ohio. His reasoning was that it would have been immoral to not do so, and he's vehemently challenged Republicans on this issue. Ohio's average monthly Medicaid enrollment has grown by nearly half a million people since 2013. That's a 23 percent increase, which far exceeds Medicaid growth in most states with Republican governors (the national average across all states, including those with Democratic leadership, has been 26 percent).
Kasich was also vocal in his opposition to Congressional Republicans' proposals to fully repeal the ACA, including Medicaid expansion. Kasich met with President Trump and then-HHS Secretary Tom Price in 2017 to address his concerns and discuss possible reforms to the current system.
Kasich was term-limited and could not seek re-election in 2018. Republican Mike DeWine won the governor's race, and took office in January 2019. DeWine has long opposed the ACA, but his position on Medicaid expansion appeared to soften as of 2018, when he said that the state would keep Medicaid expansion in place if he became governor. DeWine has served as the state's attorney general since 2011. And while he joined in a lawsuit that year that challenged the constitutionality of the ACA, he did not join in the Texas v. Azar case, in which 18 GOP-led states are seeking to overturn the ACA.
Medicare enrollment and coverage in Ohio
As of late 2019, there were more than 2.3 million Ohio residents enrolled in Medicare. You can read more about Medicare in Ohio, including details about Medicare Advantage and Part D prescription plans, as well as the specifics about Ohio's rules for Medigap plans.
State-based health reform legislation
Scroll to the bottom of this page for a summary of recent Ohio bills related to health reform.
Louise Norris is an individual health insurance broker who has been writing about health insurance and health reform since 2006. She has written dozens of opinions and educational pieces about the Affordable Care Act for healthinsurance.org. Her state health exchange updates are regularly cited by media who cover health reform and by other health insurance experts.

| 17.7°C Dublin
'History," said Adrian Hardiman, "is more than the lives of the victors, it is also about the self-delusions of the defeated."
He was launching Ronan Fanning's new book, Fatal Path: British Government and Irish Revolution, 1910-1922, at a gathering in Newman House in St Stephen's Green, Dublin, last Thursday evening.
Mr Justice Hardiman, a judge of the Supreme Court, recalled getting a "bracing introduction" to history from Prof Fanning in UCD 44 years ago which, he said, involved "breaking our lip service habit of glowering at England".
Prof Fanning, he said, "has devoted his entire life to Anglo-Irish friendship, and we can now hope that we will arrange our mutual affairs better in the future than we did in the past".
Fatal Path, which is published by Faber and Faber, studies the Anglo-Irish question and the War of Independence from a British perspective and is, according to Judge Hardiman, an "intellectual and imaginative tour de force" and "scholarship at the highest level".
Guests at the launch included former President of UCD Dr Art Cosgrove, former Chief Justice Ronan Keane, Michael McDowell, author Charles Lysaght, Mike Burns, Anne Harris, editor of the Sunday Independent, Bridget Hourican, Maurice Manning, Martin Mansergh, businessman, developer and impresario Harry Crosbie, former ambassador Noel Dorr, author Michael Lillis, journalist James Downey, Press Ombudsman John Horgan, Paul O'Higgins SC, Niall Belton of Faber and Faber and many former pupils of Prof Fanning at UCD.

After a testing team time trial on the opening day, the Vuelta a España served up a gentle introduction to the road race stages of this year's race with a pan flat route through the south of France from Nîmes to Gruisson.
>>> Five talking points from stage two of the Vuelta a España 2017

The 203km route would help the race transition from its start in the ancient French city to Spain, and it would give the non-climbers the first of few opportunities for victory in this year's mountainous race.
With the course skirting along the coast for much of the time, wind could play a factor in the events of the day and there could be the possibility of more GC splits if anyone gets caught out.
Rohan Dennis, who took the leader's red jersey on the opening day after his BMC Racing team won the team time trial, will look to defend his slender lead heading into the first mountain test in Andorra on stage three on Monday.

I had no idea what to expect when I read These Broken Stars (co-authored by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner) because I don't read a lot of sci-fi. But WOW OH WOW. It was just incredible. It was exciting and sassy and flawless. I constantly hear it pitched as "The Titanic In Space" and basically – yes. It's about space-ship crashes and survival and a hate-turn-love romance that makes me squeak with intense feelings. And have you seen that cover?! THAT DRESS!? Easily one of my most favourite covers of ever. I would recommend this book to every human, alien, and stray cat.
So go read it.
NO WAIT! Finish my review first, because I have more things to rave and flail about.
It's set in space, so we get all the epic futuristic technology and starry descriptions. I love the thought of massive spaceships with their laser guns and soldiers and technology. What I didn't know, when I picked it up, was how heavily it featured survival. It's only partially about space things — but mostly, our two protagonists are fighting through an uninhabited planet jungle, trying to survive and be rescued. Since I've grew up devouring Gary Paulson's Hatchet trilogy, this was so my thing.
Let's discuss the characters! I loved them. It's dual narrated by Lilac and Tarver.
- Lilac LaRoux: she's a "princess" — rich and snobbish, but such a sweetie underneath. Her father basically controls the galaxy (money, peoples, money is everything) and he dotes on her. Usually I find the "snob" character unlikeable and I don't care about them. But not Lilac! She was interesting and relatable and I found it so easy to feel for her.
- Major Tarver Merendsen: He's the epic, young, and war-hero. Except that he's extremely sarcastic. His humour was awesome! I loved how he was frustrated out of his mind with Lilac's princess ways, but he was never cruel to her. I love how he kept being a gentleman – no matter what the circumstances. His voice is very different to Lilac's too, which is super important in dual-narrated books. I loved BOTH their chapters and can't even pick a favourite!
What I loved most about Tarver and Lilac is – they hated each other! It's hilarious. Of course, they don't stay that way, but they're so snarky at the beginning.
"Where will I sit?"
Sit? Why, on this comfortable chaise lounge I've carried here for you in my pocket, Your Highness, so glad you asked. I clamp my mouth shut, struggling not to say it aloud.
Between each chapter is a snippet of Tarver being interrogated. I loved these! My only criticism is: some of them sounded the same. But Tarver really gives his interrogators a hard time and it's hilarious.
"Major, to what extent did you act upon your feelings for Miss LaRoux?"
"Excuse me?"
"How am I supposed to answer that question?"
The ending will blow your mind! It has a plot twist that basically knocked me over — and I loved it so so much. The writing is amazing and flows perfectly and, basically, I can say no evil about this delicious book.

Skim Milk, Thick and Creamy? Yes!
In Partnership with Skim Plus
We talked to Patrick from FL and here's what he had to say:
What Patrick Has With Milk On The Daily...
I don't drink milk every day but when I do it's usually with a couple of cookies. Oreo's or chocolate chips! What's better for dunking than a nice cold glass of milk?
Patrick On The Taste Of Skim Plus Milk...
I thought the flavor of Skim Plus Lactose Free Milk was spot on with full fat milk. I drink it ice-cold and I really can't tell the difference in the level of creaminess between this and regular milk. It coats the tongue just like full fat milk.
What he Likes Most About It...
I've looked for ways of reducing unnecessary fat in my diet. As I get older I also look for ways to add calcium to my diet naturally. This product seems to cover both of these concerns for me.
How he'll Level Up his Next Breakfast With Skim Plus Milk...
I'm a big fan of cheese grits and eggs for breakfast. I admit I do admit that I do use the quick cooking variety but I try to enhance them by using milk and low fat cheese to make them even creamier. I think the creaminess of Skim Plus Lactose Free Milk would only enhance my grits recipe while still lowering the fat content of the dish.

Plyometrics and Fitness Personalities
A buzz word we are hearing a lot lately is plyo or plyometric training. Per wikipedia…
Plyometrics: also known as jump training or plyos, are exercises in which muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing power (speed-strength).
Not only is it a hot topic in the fitness industry, it seems that everyone on the internet is talking about it. And by everyone, I mean everyone from certified trainers, professional athletes, and many fitness personalities with no formal training at all. More thoughts on both plyometrics and those fitness personalities below.
First, a little about the past weekend.
It was relaxing and even included a few hours off the grid! Tribe TFP has been on a nutrition mission for just over a week. That includes Jason too. We are eating clean!
We built in a splurge day Saturday when we knew we'd be in the OBX. It's one of our fav places with some of our favorite foods. We enjoyed some cold pressed juices from a new spot, the OBX Parade of Homes Tour, a seafood lunch overlooking the sound, a walk on the beach in Corolla, and I particularly enjoyed half a beer and chips and salsa on the Duck Boardwalk. Little choices have lead to large shifts. We both feel fantastic!

be more precise. I was standing on a sidewalk alone waiting for my mom like all the days. The horn of the cars never stopped. All the avenue looked like an ocean of lights. The cars passed like fishes of many colors. The electric train, which ran every five minutes, did not do much noise like cars. While I was watching the curious form of the traffic, my mobile phone rang. It was my mom so I answered. My face changed immediately. My mom told me that she had a problem with the car and she could not
1). What does each essay have to say about the nature of loneliness? In Michele Filgate's essay, she shares with the readers her childhood memories of growing up with an abusive stepfather and how her mother always kept silent about it. Each time that Michele attempted to talk to her mother about the abuse, her mother brushed the situation under the rug and moved on. I can understand how this can come off as feeling alone. The only mention of loneliness that Michele explains, is when she describes

In my contribution I would like to reflect on oral history from the perspective of recent debates regarding oral history as autobiography. Oral history has been increasingly recognized both in academia as outside as a valuable contribution to recording the historical experiences of ordinary people. It became a movement to reconstruct the past of people who historically have been excluded from historiography and by doing this historian gave them a share in writing their own history. Oral history
spiritual and personal beliefs to life through fine dialogue.Each writer describes god in differing tones to describe their experience with the divine. In the text 'The Gay Science' by Friedrich Nietzsche he sets a heavy tone through his negative dialogue while Stephen Crane, Author of 'A Man Said to the Universe' offers a more unconcerned tone. In contrast to Nietzsche and Cranes' writing, King David in Psalms twenty-three completely worships God and sets an adoring tone. The purpose of this essay is to
Abstract: Language is the medium by which one's psychological experiences, emotions and imaginations can be recreated in the minds of the reader or listener. Through ages language has been the vehicle with which humans have communicated ideas to each other. Language has not only the power to heal and to comfort but also to retrieve the suppressed experiences of an individual from the past.

The move follows campaigners' calls for more funding to plug a funding gap estimated to be £800m this year, rising to £1.6bn by 2021.
The "national crisis" has left councils across the country unable to meet their statutory obligations to children who need extra educational support, according to the claimants in a judicial review brought against the government.
In June, the National Education Union released findings showing that 8,587 children and young people with SEND are currently classed as "awaiting provision" for a school place, and have no access to any type of educational provision.
- Analysis: Factors for SEND funding crisis
- Analysis: Increased demand for EHC plans exacerbates SEND funding crisis
Prime Minister Boris Johnson made the funding announcement on Friday (30 August) as part of a wider £14bn schools funding pledge over the next three years.
Anntoinette Bramble, chair of the children and young people board at the Local Government Association, said: "It is great that the government has acted on the LGA's call for a significant funding boost for services that support children with special educational needs next year.
"This funding will help councils meet unprecedented demand for SEND support next year and ensure our most vulnerable children get the support they need."
The National Children's Bureau also welcomed the news, but noted that the pledge comes at an uncertain time, "when promises made today may fall by the wayside as the wheel of fortune turns in Westminster".
The statement called on the government to address other social factors.
"After a decade of austerity, we still need a wider commitment from government to shore up other parts of the system buckling under pressure," it said.
"We need investment in public health and the early years so that parents can give our children the best start in life.
"We need properly funded child protection services so that our children can be kept safe from abuse and neglect. We need an end to the welfare policies that are driving an ever-increasing number of our children into appalling poverty.
"We will watch carefully as the detail underpinning the funding announcements emerge and urge policymakers to be mindful of the parlous state that the nation's schools, services and other support have fallen into."
Meanwhile, a judge is expected to publish his ruling this autumn, following the legal review of the government's decision-making over SEND funding.
The case was brought by three families who say that the government has failed to increase funding for high needs in line with rising demand.
However, the government's announcement is not thought to affect this case.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Is Big Island Farm Sanctuary a non-profit?
No. When we decided to open Big Island Farm Sanctuary, we initially planned to apply for non-profit status. After all, it's what "all the sanctuaries do." But, something about that didn't sit right with us. So, after months of weighing the pros and cons, we decided against it. Our decision came down to two major factors:
According to the National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS), there are more than 1.5 million non-profit organizations registered in the U.S. That's a whole lot of organizations depending on the donations of others! My husband and I have always been business owners. We know how to create, fund, and grow a business. So why wouldn't we find a way to financially support our rescued animals, without having to depend on donation dollars? It just made sense to us to put the financial burden on ourselves and figure out how to provide a product or a service that could then fund the sanctuary. Now, let's be clear. We are in no way putting down those who choose to use the non-profit structure. We support them 100%. So much so that we don't want to be one of the 1.5 million vying for the same money, when we're confident that we can find ways to support our sanctuary under a different structure.
In addition to wanting to take the financial aspect into our own hands, we simply didn't like the idea of other people making decisions for the animals that we love and care for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the sanctuary we are building from love, sweat, and tears. We know our residents better than anyone- their wants, their needs, etc. We wanted to be in full control of all aspects of our sanctuary.
So, if we're not non-profit, what are we? We consider ourselves a "Social Purpose" business- a business started on the foundation of addressing a social mission- our mission being "Saving lives. Touching hearts. Changing minds." We think Andrew Cooper, the co-founder of 4Ocean said it best, "Just because you're doing good, doesn't mean that you have to be a non-profit." As sanctuary owners, we have a passion: to rescue and offer sanctuary to farmed animals in need. But we also have a purpose: to help as many animals as possible by not only offering sanctuary to those in need but by helping people make a real connection with these sentient beings, as well as educating the public on the ugly world of industrial and backyard farming, animal abuse, and exploitation. At Big Island Farm Sanctuary, we want to offer a safe haven for animals and people, and be able to invest our profits back into our sanctuary and the animal rescue community- and we believe being a company, not a non-profit, is a more sustainable way to achieve these goals.
Can I still make a donation?
Yes, you can! However, because we aren't a non-profit, donations aren't tax-deductible for the donor, which matters to some, and not to others. When someone does donates to us, we are legally required to count it as income. We are grateful for donations and use them the same way we would if we were non-profit- putting it toward our animals and sanctuary, never toward our own personal wants and needs.
So how can you support our mission if it's not by donating?

Forget food coloring. We made our beer green by dumping a shot of lime vodka in it.
The lime vodka – I believe it was Jacquin's – at our local bar in those days was green. Today's flavored vodkas – Absolut comes to mind – are generally clear. But Jacquin's in the early '70s was as green as a shamrock and, therefore, too tempting to pass up.
I cannot recall who invented the drink we came to call a "limer" but I do recall drinking a good deal of them, and not only on St. Patrick's Day. A buddy and I once brought a case of Michelob and a bottle of green vodka to the Jersey shore for an Easter weekend getaway.
Looking back I have to wonder: Did we really like the taste of those foul things?
Please, don't think for a minute I am recommending you add "limers" to your St. Patrick's Day celebrations. First of all, you'd be hard-pressed to find green vodka these days. But more importantly, no one needs a shot of vodka in a beer. It's not only horrible tasting but also downright idiotic.
There was nothing glamorous about our "limer" days. We were just young and stupid. And damn lucky.
Lucky the DUI, as we now know it, had yet to be invented.
Stick with green food coloring.
Green beer
Forget food coloring. We made our beer green by dumping a shot of lime vodka in it.

BISYS Group Inc., New York, says it will postpone filing its Form 10-K annual report with federal securities regulators.[@@]
BISYS, which has a fiscal year that ends June 30, sells support services to insurance companies, mutual fund companies and other financial services companies.
BISYS was going to file its Form 10-K Monday, but an employee in the fund services unit "raised certain issues, particularly in connection with the documentation process in the company's preparation for a SAS 70 review," BISYS says.
An SAS 70 review is the "authoritative guidance that allows service organizations to disclose their control activities and processes to their customers and their customers' auditors in a uniform reporting format," according to Grant Thornton L.L.P., Chicago.
BISYS has reported the matter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the company has formed a special committee of independent directors to conduct an independent investigation, BISYS says.
"The company is fully cooperating in the investigation and is making every effort to file its Form 10-K on or before Sept. 28, 2004, the end of the filing extension period," BISYS President Russ Fradin says in a statement.
