Building on the huge success of our sold-out 2015 event, we are happy to announce our 2nd annual event, BAJA BEER CRAFT 2016, to be held at Liberty Station in San Diego, California on Friday, November 11th, from 6-10pm. At last year's sold-out party, we hosted 11 Baja California craft breweries, serving tastings of 40+ varieties of Mexican craft brew, to over 300 attendees—we were one of the biggest and most popular events of San Diego Beer Week… This year's event promises to be even bigger and better, with plans for 600-1,000+ attendees, more craft breweries, Baja California cuisines, and live entertainment!
The theme for 2016's event is "Cross Border Collaboration" – we'll be featuring collaboration brews co-created by Baja and San Diego breweries. To get the kettles warmed up, there will be a USD $1,000 cash prize for the best cross-border collaboration brew, as voted on by the event's attendees.
DATE: Friday, November 11th, 6-10pm
VENDOR SET-UP: 3-5pm
WHERE: Corky McMillin Event Center, Liberty Station, POINT Loma, San Diego
MAP: 2875 Dewey Road, San Diego, CA 92106, U.S.A.

Event Format The 2nd annual 2016 BAJA BEER CRAFT Event format will be a hybrid of tasting event and beer festival, with the goal that participating craft breweries profit financially, while exposing their beer and brand to 600-1,000+ San Diego and Southern California area craft beer enthusiasts attending San Diego Beer Week. At this year's event, brewers will sell beer tasters and pints to the event attendees. Accordingly, we advise you to bring lots of beer to this event! Last year's event sold-out a week early, and we were one of the "hottest tickets at San Diego Beer Week." So this year we have moved to a bigger venue to accommodate an even bigger party!
Event Theme: This year's theme is "Cross Border Collaboration" – participating breweries should consider brewing "collaboration brews," co-created by Baja and San Diego breweries working together across the border.

To enter this competition, you should pick a Southern California craft brewery partner, and complete the contest entry application. If you need help connecting with San Diego or Southern California brewers, let us know and we'll connect you to breweries interested in collaboration.

Factors Influencing Receipt of Shunt Surgery in Hydrocephalus PatientsName : Dr. Gabriel D. Pinilla
Affliation : Department Of Neurosurgery
University : Johns Hopkins Hospital
Country : Baltimore, USA
Background: Hydrocephalus often adversely affects quality of life in elderly populations. A previous study of the Medicare database has proposed some sociodemographic and clinical factors that influence the receipt of shunt surgery in these patients. The aim of this review was to assess if the prevalence of hydrocephalus has changed over time and to identify the factors influencing which patients received a shunt procedure.
Materials and Methods: Retrospective study based on the Standard Analytical Files collected between 2006 and 2010 by the United States Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Initially, a random sample of 5% Medicare beneficiaries (2,378,637), enrolled in both Part A (inpatient) and Part B (outpatient), was included. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine if socio-demographic and clinical characteristics were associated with receiving a shunt procedure.
Results: 2321 patients exhibited a diagnosis of hydrocephalus for a disease prevalence of 0.2% (a 66% increase from 0.12% in 1999). Only 24.99% of these patients underwent shunt surgery. Co-existing conditions like peripheral neuropathy (odds ratio [OR] 1.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-1.64) and subdural hematoma (OR 4.42, 95%CI 3.38-5.79) were associated with undergoing a shunt procedure. On the other hand, African-American race (OR 0.49, 95%CI 0.29-0.82), affiliation to Medicaid (OR 0.58, 95%CI 0.43-0.78) and coronary atherosclerosis (OR 0.70, 95%CI 0.55-0.88) increased the likelihood of receiving conservative treatment.
Conclusion: Our study suggests that the prevalence of hydrocephalus increased over time in Medicare beneficiaries. In contrast with previous results, Medicaid affiliation and coronary atherosclerosis seemed to be negatively associated with shunt surgery.
Biography: Gabriel Pinilla, M.D. is currently pursuing a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Cerebrospinal Fluid Disorders at the Johns Hopkins Department of Neurosurgery. He graduated Cum Laude from the Industrial University of Santander School of Medicine, where he obtained an additional A.Sc. degree in Pharmacy Technology. He is a Pg.Cert. student in the Epidemiology program and his main research interests are translational models of neurological diseases and the statistical assessment of data below the limit of detection in the context of biomarkers concentration studies.

I laughed. I knew what she meant. I was delighted by the part about how nuns should be ladies because it reminded me of something our abbot had told us—that if we had joined the brotherhood to engage in spiritual warfare, we should behave like officers, not enlisted men. You don't usually associate the terms "nuns and monks" with "ladies and gentlemen," but clearly that connection belonged to our tradition.
We get plenty of reminders that we shouldn't look at things that way. For example, all the way through Great Lent our services include St. Isaac's prayer with the wonderful line, "Grant me to see my own sins and not to judge my brother." Shouldn't that suggest that I stop focusing my attention on the fact that someone else wasn't rebuked for something when I was? In plain old ordinary English, could it be that I just need to mind my own business?

|Alright, mi amigo. Good job!
"Alright, mi amigo. Good job!" He high-fived and knuckle-bumped the youngster, cheerfully congratulating the boy on his examination results.
Dr. Lauten Johnson, a sandy-haired, blue-eyed, dentist from Alabama USA was arm-pit deep in elementary children. I met up with him and other Smile Foundation volunteers, Dr. Frank Cain, Hygienist Tizzy Howard, and Lauten's family friend Baily Martin at the Andres Quintana Roo Elementary School on Isla Mujeres.
|Waiting for their turn
The group was mid-way through their seventh annual visit, a week-long intense schedule of dental examinations available to all the children on the island. Moving from school to school they plan to check as many children as possible, referring some for emergency surgery and repairs, as well as promoting daily dental hygiene. While waiting for the next class of kids to arrive, Dr. Johnson gave me a bit of background information. The Smile Foundation started coming to Isla in 2008, using first the Red Cross building, and then the Centro de Salud (Health Centre) for their examinations. Over time neither situation proved to be completely satisfactory due to changes in personal and their unfamiliarity with the work of the group.
|Baily, Lauten, Tizzy, Manuel, Frank - at the school
Each year anywhere between ten and fifteen volunteers make the trip to Isla. It's a mixed crew of dentists, hygienists, assistants, dental students, translators, and family friends who are enlisted to help. Caroline Rush and her daughter, who are very involved with The Smile Foundation had to return to the USA earlier in the week for a family emergency. Most of this group originates from Alabama, Tennessee, or Florida, and this year a young Colombian national, Manual, is assisting with translation.
|Dr. Frank Cain and Tizzy Howard at the school
I hung around with the group for an hour or so at the school, watching them interact with the youngsters. This was the easy part of the day for everyone, a quick check, a few laughs and giggles and most of the kids were all set to go back to class. Several had cavities that desperately needed attention and it was strongly suggested to the parents that they should bring the child to the clinic later in the day.
|X-Ray gun that transmits the image to a laptop
Around two in the afternoon the fourteen volunteers assembled in at the Instancia Municipal de la Mujer in Las Glorias, gearing up for a busy afternoon. When I arrived there were at least forty children and their parents waiting for the opportunity of free dental work. As the first of the doctors and assistants arrived, I slipped through the doors into the communal procedural room. There were chairs for a dozen patients, rows of gleaming medical tools, tables stacked with toothpaste, floss, brushes and fluoride paste. The first batch of patients and their parents filed in, apprehension filling their young eyes: What happens now?
One young lad desperately needed to have an extraction done. He was very brave at the beginning when the technician used the new radar gun x-ray to take an image of the damaged tooth. However when the anaesthetic-filled needle was slipped into his mouth his heart wrenching yells were enough to weaken the strongest resolve. And then the actual extraction took place; balanced on chairs, hugging the sobbing boy the three adults worked to relieve his pain. Other children stared in wide-eyed terror. What were they doing to him? And then it was over, copious hugs administered, cartoon stickers applied to bare skin, and tears dried. This will scene repeat again and again during the afternoon and all through the week. Very tough to do, but so very necessary.
|Comforting cuddles after the extraction
As I slipped out the doors, back into the waiting room the first two faces I saw were a brother and sister, probably about ten and twelve years old. Perched on the edge of their chairs they stared at the doors. Having heard the screams of the first young boy, they were ready to run from the building.
I smiled encouragingly at their mom. The poor woman was in for a traumatic time with two youngsters needing work. About then a twisted version of a county and western song flicked through my brain: Mommas don't let your babies grow up to eat sugar ....
So, how can you help?
In 2015 The Smile Foundation purchased an autoclave high pressure cleaner, an ultrasonic cleaner, and a cool laptop with an x-ray gun that creates instant images. The goal for 2016 is to purchase a proper dental chair, a suction compression unit, and enough supplies to offer free fluoride treatments to each child.
|Cleaning and fluoride treatment
They are desperately searching for dry, weather-proof storage for equipment and supplies. In past years Mim and Tony Gallagher have been very generous, offering to store extra items at their casa, but with the planned for equipment additions that may not be possible in the future.
There is always the easy way to help out: money. Donations are gratefully accepted for funding the week-long event, and for more equipment. http://www.gofundme.com/smilefoundation
|Comforting a scared daughter
Or if you are a boat owner, and are planning to head south to Isla Mujeres for the winter fishing season, you could transport a piece of equipment. Tiffany and Brad Wareing are working on coordinating this task.
Plus you can give 'em a big [LIKE] on FaceBook at https://www.facebook.com/smilefoundationdental to spread the word about their outstanding efforts to improve dental health for our island kids.
And last but not least don't forget to say thank you to wonderful islanders like Bonnie Hamilton, Tiffany Wareing, Vivian Reynaldo, Kristen Tywan, Mim and Tony Gallagher whose big hearts and caring attitudes make events like this happen.
A very special thank you to this year's volunteer crew: Dr. Lauten Johnson, pediatric dentist, Dr. Clark Thomas, pediatric dentist, Dr. Frank Cain, dentist, Dr. Brandon Pennington, dentist, Dr. Hunter Hale, dentist, Claire Mitchell, hygienist, Valerie Madison, hygienist, Cinthia Bueno, hygienist, Tizzy Howard, hygienist, Paige Preston, hygienist, Baily Martin, dental assistant, Perry Martin, dental assistant, Richard Lang, dental assistant, Juddy Carlton, dental assistant.
|Cleaning and fluoride treatments
Thank you all for making this island in paradise an extra special place to live.
Hasta Luego

Bryan Steward posted a question about the wizard (well, magic-user, whatever) spell progressions in B/X versus AD&D and made me realize that I had never formally compared the various editions of D&D in that regard. So I typed it all up in a spreadsheet that you may want to have a look at if you are interested in the details. (I should note that I suck at spreadsheets, so if you want to help me add more data or maybe some graphs, I'd appreciate it.)
The (perhaps not very surprising) conclusion is that wizards in AD&D and OD&D are more powerful (according to my metric anyway) than wizards in B/X. Between AD&D and OD&D it's sort of a toss-up with OD&D being slightly better at low levels and AD&D being slightly better at high levels.
Of course I couldn't resist and added my own spell progression to the mix, the one from my house rules. It mostly floats around AD&D except at level 14 where it clearly beats everything else with two 7th-level spells. But I should mention that the spreadsheet doesn't take XP requirements into account: it's pretty much impossible for anyone to advance to level 14 in my game because I keep doubling XP requirements forever.
So I am quite happy with my spell progression's power curve (mostly in line with the classics) and it's certainly a more straightforward pattern than what Gary and friends came up with.
Update 2014/04/15: Just added the BECMI progression from the Rules Cyclopedia and that wizard has it even worse than the B/X wizard. The Labyrinth Lord wizard is better off than most of the others, close to my progression actually. The Swords & Wizardry wizard is on par with mine as well, but the Lamentations wizard is in the AD&D range.
If that means anything, it's probably that most OSR folks like Dan Proctor, Matt Finch, and my humble self agree that the wizard's curve should have been a little better; just James Raggi (who would have thunk?) has to be different. Of course we all fervently disagree on how many XP it should take to reach, say, level 9 as a wizard: Dan says 310,000 XP, Matt says 100,000 XP, James says 288,000 XP, and I say 256,000 XP. Oh well...
Update 2014/04/16: Just for reference, B/X says 300,000 XP, AD&D says 135,000 XP, OD&D says 100,000 XP. For wizards to reach level 9. Go figure.

Shields last appeared at UFC Fight Night 29 in October, when he recorded a split decision over 2007 Abu Dhabi Combat Club Submission Wrestling World Championships gold medalist Demian Maia at the Jose Correa Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

text: Millions of people everyday decide it is time to diet. If for health reasons or just because they want to look better, they decide it's time for the necessary lifestyle changes to diet successfully. You may be able to lose weight without any lifestyle and it would be impossible to maintain it. Many people are reluctant to start losing weight because they believe that Diet for a healthy life, to their hungry all the time. There are ways that you feel less hungry and more food. One possibility is to increase fiber intake throughout the day. When you increase your fiber intake, may help your body feeling of satiety. There are many foods that are high in fiber, like beans, pears, apples and corn. Using fruit as a snack during the day, you increase your fiber and satisfying snack cravings associated with dieting. It is recommended that you take the necessary measures against the fibers of a side impact that eating too much may cause. Water is a very important part of life. It is even more important when you are dieting. Drinking water not only feel less hungry, but also regulates your metabolism, keeps you hydrated, and it gives you the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy. Water also helps flush toxins from the body that can slow weight loss. It seems that the endless benefits of drinking water when you are losing weight. In today's world, everything is great, cars, clothing, and scraps of food. Fast food places push their wares super-sized menu, and it contributes to three-quarters of the world is overweight to some extent. In restaurants across the country, it is not a full meal if you are at least three courses and then dessert. In some cases, parts are great. When you learn how to control the other, you eat, you can control what we consume. This will lead to weight loss. Type of food you eat also determine whether you lose weight. If you eat more foods that are high in fat, calories and carbohydrates that are less likely to lose the weight you want, and you can open the door to serious health problems. Make healthy menu choices to ensure that you will lose weight and stay healthy. The inclusion of exercises, which are then further changes in lifestyle can help you in your weight loss goals. This should not be anything strenuous, a simple walk in the evening will help speed up your metabolism. If you have children, involve them in the evening walk to instill good habits early. Diet for healthy weight loss does not mean you should give up all things in life you want. It simply means that change and take things in moderation will help you a lot better than the way that you can actually. Health effects of weight loss are well worth the required effort and should not be taken lightly no matter how happy you are about your new body, which is hidden inside the old.

Oscar's Last Catch
In the last week before the Oscars, I caught up with one Best Picture nominee and a couple in other categories...
I walked out of Amour, the nightly regarded French film from director Michael Hanecke which has five nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actress. It is a very clinical look at an aging couple. There is no suspense about the wife's fate. The movie starts with police entering the couple's apartment to find her body beautifully laid out on the bed surrounded by flower petals. And then the rest of the movie takes us back to the start -- she blanks one day -- and then forward. That one day is a harbinger of her continued deterioration, needing a cane then a scooter and etc. etc. we know how it ends. I just read that the script was 69 pages, not much more than an hour of film time, but the film ends up over two hours log because things take longer when you have lead actors in their 80s. Very worthy, except turning 75 minute films into two hour movies?? Clinical is OK, the recent film Contagion was very clinical. But this is clinical without human interest. There isn't a before for the couple. What did they used to do? Family and friends are hardly heard from, a chid briefly, a neighbor who helps bring in groceries, an aide who gets fired. Depressing is OK, a movie like Atom Egoyan's The Sweet Hereafter I wouldn't rush to recommend because it is so depressing, but it is a beautiful film with heart that I shy from before it stings. Old is OK, the star of Sweet Hereafter, Sarah Polley, directed a wonderful film called Away From Her that I would recommend. Thanks to movies like that, and thanks to things in my own life -- my parents are in assisted living now with mobility issues -- there isn't actually anything new here. Except for how clinically and unemotionally and tediously things are done. I should have left twenty minutes sooner than I did. I am curious what happens to the husband at the end of the movie, but I wasn't so curious as to want to stay another 40 minutes. I can't separate my feelings about the performance of the lead from the overall clinical nature of the proceedings. I may not be a bad performance, but it has no heart. Nor does any frame of this movie. [I was so long in seeing Amour because it was playing in Manhattan at theatres I don't like going to, happily it was at the very nice Landmark Kendall Square in Boston when I was there for Boskone.]
No is a nominee for Foreign Film, where it is widely expected to lose to Amour. Too bad. This Spanish-language movie is about a plebiscite in Chile intended to authorize eight more years if the Pinochet dictatorship. The opposition is given fifteen minutes of advertising time for 27 nights to promote the No vote. A young ad exec played by Gael Garcia Bernal is hired to work on the campaignHe has to persuade over a dozen opposition parties not just to unite behind one campaign but to submerge their desire to use the campaign as a vehicle to air the sins of the dictatorship. Instead, they get a song "no me gusta" to speak to young audiences on what they don't like about Pinochet ands jingle to tell them that happiness is on the way. Easentially, the movie is Argo in Chile, a charismatic younger actor in an uplifting side story from a dictatorship, probably with some of the same artificial frissons of excitement. Did the regime threaten the young exec's son, or did the ad team head out from HQ with six fake copies of the next night's ad? Like Argo, it works.
The Gatekeepers, a Best Documentary nominee, interviews six former leaders of the Shin Beth, the Israeli anti-terrorism intelligence agency. It is the kind of worthy documentary that gives documentaries a bad name. Six talking heads occupy most if the screen time. Much of the rest is drone footage if cars driving down Gazan streets. So visually not much there; movies are a visual medium. The ultimate thesis is that Israel needs to engage its enemies more, lest as the closing lines say it wants to win every battle bit still lose the war. Powerful messengers for this, I kind of agree, but the movie has no persuasive power. It is the ad campaign that No rejected.

Because of an experience last year in the dentist's office, I've realized that sometimes you can't avoid conversations without appearing rude, and you may as well just talk back. Now I wouldn't go back to my old ways - no siree! It's a great way to get writing material.
If you didn't read my post yesterday, I was in the VA hospital waiting for my hubby to have his colonoscopy procedure. Hubby had just gone back to the procedure room when an elderly couple came in with their granddaughter in tow. She was their designated driver and looked to be in her early thirties. Age is a touchy subject - some don't mind telling and others do and I've learned by appearance who to ask and who not. If they're over sixty and wear a lot of makeup, have a scarf around their neck to hide the neck wrinkles, have lots of jewelry and aloof mannerisms, don't ask. That could be me on some days. If they look grandmotherly and smile a lot, feel free to ask. That could be me on other days. Walter, Lillian and Kelly were their names. Walter was seventy-seven, Lillian seventy-five and smiled and spoke to everyone in the waiting room. They had been married fifty-eight years. Long enough to finish each others sentences. He would start talking and then pause, waiting for her to finish....and she did. They seemed to know each others thoughts. Not only were their thoughts in unison, so were their feet.
Have you ever seen someone cross one leg over the other and roll their feet round in circles. They had opposite legs crossed so their toes were pointing toward each other. They were in perfect unison as they circled their feet - when he stopped, so did she - then they would start over again. It was very amusing. After her husband went back, she kept hinting for her granddaughter to go get her a cup of coffee, but she was engrossed in a book. I quietly got up, went downstairs to the canteen and got both of us a cup. She was thrilled but I told her I had needed one too....and it was true.
Lillian wanted everyone to know what a good catch she had in Walter. "He sweeps, vacuums and makes the bed every days" she said. "You shouldn't tell us that", I said. "We'll be all trying to steal your husband". She beamed. "I won't let him get away", she said and laughed.
The room filled up quickly. The others who came in joined in the conversation. Each person had a story to tell except one. She was mid-fifties and sat alone pretending to read her book. She looked anxious - maybe the way I once looked when I played the part of a hermit. Her story is tomorrow. I think it's sad.

September - Sparkling Wine
Italian Wines of a Different Sort
Italy is known for more than a few fine wineries producing epic vintages. There is another vintage, however, that is just as good and deserves a mention of its own.
Italian Wines of a Different Sort
Everyone is aware of champagne - the bubbly that is characteristic of the Champagne region of France. However, many people mislabel all such wines as "champagne", when that is not really the case. There are many different types of bubbly wine, with different varieties coming from such diverse places as Italy, California and Spain. Italian wines of this type are especially unique - their character and flavor is distinctly different from champagne.
These Italian wines, also known as Spumante, have been produced in Italy since the Roman era - long before France ever bottled its first champagne. There are many different varieties within the realm of Italian bubbly wines with some having a drier, crisp taste and others being sweeter and less like the flavor of champagne. Most are produced in the northern regions of Italy, such as Lombardy, Piedmont and Veneto.
A big difference between champagne and Italian wines is the way that they are fermented. Champagne is fermented in the bottle, resulting in the bubbly quality it is known for. Spumante wines from Italy, on the other hand, are fermented by a different method known as the Charmat method. In this method, the wine is fermented in a tank for it's second fermentation period (the period that produces bubbles), instead of in its own bottle.
Italian Spumante wines are also often consumed when younger, as the qualities of Italian wines do not hold up as well to aging. The younger consumption age works well with the most common types of Spumante wines, such as Asti. Asti, in earlier times known as a lower-class sweet type of bubbly wine, today is considered to be of much better quality. It pairs well with strong cheeses, such as Gorgonzola. Another variety worth trying is the Franciacorta, the only bubbly wine fermented in the bottle in Italy. Franciacorta is known as the star of Italy's Spumante wines and has smaller bubbles and a milder taste than most of the others. It pairs well with the same foods as champagne - fresh fruit and other milder flavors.
Spumante wines are a great way to experience bubbly alcohol without having to break the bank on expensive, French made champagne. The different varieties also make it easy to find one of these wines that pair well with any sort of entree or hors d' oeuvre. From fish to cheese courses, and even with dessert - bubbly wine is an excellent compliment.

What are fortified wines? I've seen 'fortified' on the bottle of some wines in the grocery store. Are they good? What does fortified mean?

How Cheese Makes Finest Wines Taste Like Cheap Plonk

For generations, it has been the fare of choice at charity fundraisers and suburban soires: a cube of cheddar on a cocktail stick and a glass of cheap red wine.
Cheap, tasty wines get their due in 'The Wine Trials'
Tue, 19 Aug 2008 03:27:56 PDT
Why are the best-rated wines always the most expensive? That's what Robin Goldstein, editor-in-chief of the Fearless Critic city restaurant guides, wanted to find out for his new guide, "The Wine Trials."
An Environmental Argument for Boxed Wine
Mon, 18 Aug 2008 18:54:45 PDT
In the U.S., wine sold in a box used to be synonymous with cheap, bland junk. But in recent years the benefits boxed wine have started changing that perception. For one thing, the box typically contains three or four bottles' worth, and also costs less per volume than the bottled stuff. The box also stays fresh far longer after opening.

2011 seems like a great year so far. No disasters reported, no coups, tsunamis, recessions or even a major scam. There has been at least one uplifting event already, so the year has started well. On the other hand, there are critics (well, at least one critic) of my opinion. And in this case, a sample size of one is also a majority of one, because the critic in question is married to me. The essence of her criticism – or what Bertie Wooster might call the res, gist or nub – is that one cannot pass judgement on the year at 9 a.m. on 1st January. In fine, it is too early. She also says, in no uncertain terms, that sausages-for-breakfast does not qualify as an uplifting event.
Oh well. Since higher authorities will not let me pass judgement on 2011, I must retreat to the dim and distant past. Specifically, to 2010. Which seems to have been a good year on the whole. Except perhaps for the Democratic Party in the USA. Or marine life in the Gulf of Mexico. And Ricky Ponting's Umpire Education Policy. And Arun Nayar, who found that safety-pins cannot hold a marriage together. Or the Indian Railways in Uttar Pradesh, where 6 accidents were reported in January 2010 alone. And the General Post Office, Kolkata, where employees were taken to task at year-end because they could not achieve unreasonable targets (such as delivering letters on time, specifically a letter from the Home Minister of India). Further, this was not a good year for bond salesmen and stockbrokers in Greece, or for that matter in Iceland or Portugal. There was some talk of an economic crisis in Spain as well, but all calls to their Ministry of Finance yielded only a recorded message at about 98 decibels that went "OLEEEEEEEEE!!! GANAMOS!!!" (We won). Apart from these, 2010 seems to have gone off well.
It was also a very moving year. The earth moved early and often (no, I am not referring to intimate experiences.) In January, an earthquake in Haiti touched 7.0 on the Richter Scale. In February, there was an earthquake in Chile that touched 8.8; since the Richter Scale is logarithmic, that means it was nearly 100 times as powerful as the Haiti earthquake. The earth wasn't done yet – it moved again in April in Qinghai, China; in June off the Andamans; and in October off the coast of Sumatra. And these were only the major ones reported! As a result, People magazine and Times Now had to change their definitions of movers and shakers.
2010 also saw major advances in scientific inquiry. Psychics and clairvoyants in Kolkata examined the possibility of grafting on six more arms apiece, but were baffled when informed that an octopus also has a beak. Later, conspiracy theorists had a field day when Paul the Octopus died. The most popular theory was that somebody had asked him to predict Rajinikanth's death. In related news, Diego Maradona finally stopped throwing players off the team when it was pointed out to him that he had himself been thrown off the team. Elsewhere, scientists declared that they had developed a car that can run on water. As long as the water came from the Gulf of Mexico. On the other hand, some scientists expressed fears that if the oil spill got worse, we would have to start drilling for water. Unless the oil spill was diluted by melting ice caps, because global warming seemed a very real menace in 2010 (though trains tangoed in the fog in January and monkey-caps bloomed all over Calcutta in December). The issue had come to public notice much earlier, when almost-President-of-the-USA Al Gore won an Oscar for "An Inconvenient Truth", the highest-grossing PowerPoint presentation in history. Unfortunately for him, that did not cause any significant change in US public policy, such as declaring him the President.
The year that saw the rescue of the Chilean miners ended with a different kind of digging out. Julian Assange caused consternation when Wikileaks spilled the dirt on many governments, but allegations of an entirely different kind of leak dumped the dirt on him.
India has had its share of drama in 2010. The most heartening aspect was the spirit of innovation. Such as the provision of snakes in the Commonwealth Village, purportedly to make athletes from wilder climes feel at home (there is no truth in the rumour that the snakes story was really all about Gujarati catering). Or the proposal to solve one of India's most contentious political issues by commissioning a temple-cum-mosque on the site – under the able stewardship of the CWG Organising Committee. Lalit Bhanot, poor man, caught some flak with his comment about Indian standards of hygiene; so much for speaking the truth. In related news, the External Affairs Ministry learnt of the existence of some countries only when these countries threatened to pull out of the Games.
All in all, 2010 was a rich period of history. We must, of course, limit our scrutiny to those events reported in the mainstream media; as is well known, nothing can really have happened unless so reported. Which may mean that one Ms. Radia does not even exist. Ladies and gentlemen, stay tuned – we aren't quite done with 2010 yet!

Real and Lasting Change
Kaylyn and August have brought about real and lasting change with our students – either by correcting the core of the problem or by teaching the student coping strategies. These changes have impacted every area of their life, not just school. We love and appreciate the results we are seeing!
So Grateful
I cannot express how grateful I am for the work you've done with Taigan. I have seen the friendship and trust you both have with him, and it means so much to me. He truly will miss both of you. I've been so impressed with how FUNctionabilities is more than a business to you both – you really care about these kids, and have a special gift to be able to reach and connect with them. Thank you for sharing that. We were worried when we moved here from Idaho that we wouldn't be able to find anything for Taigan, and – miracle of miracles – you were just opening your doors. It was a tender mercy for us, and if we end up needing more help, we'll be happy to see you both again.
Thank You
Thank you for giving me my surprise shirt. I like all your toys for practicing. You are awesome sauce. I love you.
This place is awesome! My son has already improved and they have an amazing motor room! The therapists
are great and work well with little kids. I would recommend this place to anyone!
My introduction to FUNctionabilities was accidental, but destined… I have know August and Kaylyn for a long time, but only as massage therapist (the BEST I might add). During a massage, we started chatting about family, as we normally do. I mentioned my concern about a few things with my 7 year old, she was diagnosed with SPD a couple of years ago, and things were really becoming strained for her in school. August and Kaylyn, almost in unison, said "We should talk later". And so we did. The conversation started out with them asking me a few questions about my daughter and before I knew it, they were giving me a list of things that were spot on regarding behaviors we were experiencing with her. They had such insight and advice about what we had been dealing with. I made an appointment for an evaluation for the very next week. Our daughter fell in love with the therapy and the therapists immediately. She has made such progress, its astounding! They have opened our eyes to so many aspects of her behavior and struggles that we had no idea were tied to the SPD. Her reading skills have improved so much that her teacher said to us recently, "I don't know what they are doing, but it is working!" We also tried over and over to teach her to tie her shoes, she has wanted to be able to do so on her own for a very long time. They taught her to do it in 2 minutes! AMAZING and our daughter is so proud! Thank you August and Kaylyn!
Changed Our Lives
I struggled to get services for my child in the school system. I took them the evaluation that FUNctionabilites completed and was able to get services for him. Now he is thriving in therapy at FUNctionabilities and and has more support at school. FUNctionabilities changed our lives!
I Never Want To Leave
I love FUNctionabilities. I never want to leave here. They have helped me grow so much and I always had fun.
Friendly and Energetic
The therapists at FUNctionabilites are friendly, energetic, and love what they do. The children they work with have fun and hardly know they are working. Yet the progression FUNctionabilites helps them to achieve in their occupational therapy is noticeable.
So Excited
I spent 2 hours trying to teach my 8 year old to tie his shoes but the therapist at FUNctionabilities taught him to tie his shows in 2 minutes. He was so excited the next day when he could tie his own shoes for school!

What is the best suppliers substrate?
This is a very subjective as every substrate is unique some yield more than others, different moisture holding capacities. Choice of media must be guided by availability, cost and required processing. Looking at these factors a grower must choose the best growing media. Lets take rice straw as an example a media popular in Asia as it is readily available there.
Can I grow mushrooms in a cabin?
Can I grow mushrooms in a garage?
Can I grow mushrooms I my kitchen?
The answer to the above questions is yes you can as long g as right conditions are provided, however one needs define why they are growing mushrooms: hobby, commercial, college research and so much more. A commercial operation from a kitchen is out.
Please give me dimensions of the growing rooms?
This is dependent on scale of operation, market size, and environmental management capabilities of chosen equipment.
I read from the Internet that mushroom is easy do grow, do I need training?
Training is key to any business venture, others choose consultancy, however surely one can do trial and error using Internet resources for hobby growing not so for commercial operation.
Ultimately one needs training to grasp all aspects of the type/s of mushroom you have chosen to grow. This list has been compiled based on common enquiries we get, I hope this gives a little light into mushrooms.
What I have learnt over the years is people want all information provided to them at once, hence this unique faq series, others get angry if I refer them to our faq's. Others get angry after asking them to research more. Be patient and learn as much as you can.
These faq's will continue to be upgraded and also add more it's my hope this will give clear ideas and also reduce the enquiries we get.
If you feel you need meet a consultant: consultancy rate is $35 hour.

An Eastbourne schoolboy's been selected for the England cricket tour of Sri Lanka.
Tom Gordon, who goes to Bedes in Upper Dicker, is a promising all-rounder. The Year 11 student has been chosen for the Bunbury/ECB tour to Sri Lanka in March 2017. This will be the second of two tours for Tom this winter, the first being with the Sussex Academy to South Africa in December.
Tom is a genuine all-rounder; a pace bowler who also bats in the top order. He has represented Bede's Senior 1st XI since Year 9 and despite playing with and against much older students, has never looked out of place.
Director of Cricket at Bede's and former England player and Sussex Captain Alan Wells said, "His 84 not out last year against Tonbridge 1st XI was, given the context of the game, the finest innings I have seen from a young cricketer. Having seen Tom develop through our prep school cricket programme since the age of 8, I have always been convinced that Tom has a very bright future in the game. His selection for the tours this winter are just the start of what I believe will be a very successful journey for Tom."

Jungle Girl is the story of a vegetarian who survives in the Jungle all on her own.

An 8-year-old girl is raped, and abandoned in the jungle.

She is the Adivasi Queen (jungle tribal queen). With the help of a good fighter, she will escape the police, and achieve her aim.
A modern team of explorers venture to the legendary "Lost World"- the remote jungle plateau of Roraima in Venezuela. Cut off from time and the jungle below, feared by natives because of "evil spirits", flying reptiles and other beasts, Roraima has sparked human imagination since the time of the 19th century explorers.

Rating: WARTY!
When I picked this off the shelf at the library, I didn't realize it was a Newbery Honor book. Had I done so, I would have put it right back on the shelf, but I missed the little sticker in the corner, focusing instead on the back cover blurb. 'Newbery' is synonymous with 'tedious drivel' in my experience, and this one was no different. The books ought to carry large, bright, garishly-colored neon warning stickers.
It was another audiobook experiment I tried, and we didn't get along with very well. The story is about this eleven-year-old Hattie, who discovers she has an uncle, Adam. Adam has been confined to a psychiatric institution for schizophrenia and autism, and is now coming home to roost, because the place is being closed down. No one has ever mentioned him to Hattie. The two of them get along like a house on fire.
My problems with this book were two-fold. Most of the text consists of Hattie talking about her life, which has to be the most mind-numbingly boring life ever lived by anyone, anywhere. It was an awful listening experience having her endlessly rambling about who did what and where, with nothing she said being in any way remotely out of the ordinary. I couldn't stand this pretty much from the off. It was tedious listening.
The other problem, and the bigger one I feel, is the reader of the book. The main character is telling this story in the worst of voices for a novel: first person, yet the book is being read by Judith Ivey, who was in her fifties when she recorded this. Hattie is eleven. I'm sorry, but it just doesn't work. It was entirely wrong, and made the book into a joke for me, having this mature woman speak for an eleven-year-old girl. I cannot recommend this one at all.

Well, this is my first year in review post! As I look back at my first blog post, Things I Want to Learn in 2016, I'm actually surprised at how small that list is compared to what I did learn.
RSS Feeds & Slack
This past week, I've been experimenting with Slack as a notification center for my girlfriend and I. As we all know, Slack is a very powerful tool for teams. However, it also has many useful features that families, couples, and even individuals can take advantage of (although it's not intended for it). Today, the feature I'll be talking about specifically is the ability to add RSS feeds to channels.

Buy From Us
You can get products from us in a few different ways. Here are your options:
- place an order in advance for pickup at the warehouse
- have your order delivered via UPS or on one of our regional truck routes
- come shop during our retail hours
If you live close to our facility in Saxonburg, your best bet is picking up at our warehouse. If you're a bit further away, one of our truck routes might serve your area. If you're even further away, UPS is your only option. See below for more information. To order, click the "Online Store" link below.
Orders should be placed at least 24 hours before pick-up. There is no minimum. We accept add-ons at the time of pick-up. If you'd like to shop around the warehouse (as opposed to our small retail space) when you come to get your order, schedule your pickup for a Saturday or a Wednesday night—our warehouse is open for shopping on those days. Spend over $100 and get a 2% discount, spend over $200 and get a 3% discount.
Our trucks deliver to 7 different states on 15 different truck runs. Learn more about our delivery footprint, delivery minimums, and buying clubs here.
Conventional "shopping" isn't really what you'll find at Frankferd—let us explain. The retail space in our current building is pretty small with just enough room to house about ¼ of the products we carry. If you come into our store and don't see what you're looking for on the retail shelves, our friendly office staff will be happy to retrieve anything you'd like from the warehouse. If you'd like the "full" shopping experience at Frankferd, your best bet would be coming in on a Wednesday evening (5:30pm-7:30pm) or a Saturday (10:00am-2:00pm). On these days, we have the warehouse open for shopping to customers with both office and warehouse staff around to assist you. Regardless of the day of the week, you can always walk in and purchase anything from a single bag of rice to a case of maple syrup—we have no minimums and individuals are always welcome to buy bulk sizes of our products.
We've finally launched our online store. If you're keen to the way we used to do things, here are the links to our less-easily browsed catalog/sales flyer (PDF version). Can you tell that we'd really like you to check out the new shop.frankferd.com instead of using this old stuff? 🙂
