Tongue-twisting title — you bet. Tongue-quenching beer — certainly.
Seattle's Big Al Brewing is at it again with another special contract brew in honor of another Seattle favorite — the Seattle Sounders football club. You might remember that earlier this month, Seattle Beer News' editor Geoff Kaiser announced that he had collaborated with Big Al's Alejandro to make Hoppy American Wheat Ale" for the Washington Brewers Fest next weekend.
Big Al seems to be making quite a habit of creating custom ales for Seattle beer fans. The newest collaboration is called Big Al Brougham Bitter, an English-style session ale that you can find at your next Sounders match. The beer is not contracted by the Sounders' organization, but the faithful fans at Emerald City Supporters (ECS).
ECS is a group of roughly 1300 well-organized supporters that fill the areas of Sections 121-123 at Seattle's Qwest Field (according to their website). ECS has always had a well-received connection with the folks at Qwest Field. When they heard the cries of fans demanding better beer from the taps at the stadium, they reached out to Alejandro to create the perfect soccer companion — an ESB brewed specifically for the soccer fan.
News went out on Seattle Soccer Talk that the beer will debut this weekend at the match against the New England Revolution. The talk says that the beer will actually find digs on four taps at Qwest in Sections 104, 107 and 122! This is very impressive for both Big Al and for ECS.
From the article that appeared originally in the Examiner:
The Brougham Bitter is the new ECS beer brewed with Big Al's Brewery out of White Center. Brougham Bitter is a well balanced English style ESB that is easy to drink and comes with a 5.5% kick. Come down and taste this for yourself and be a part of history as this is the first soccer beer brewed specifically for Seattle's soccer fan and Sounders supporters. It may not be a first on a global scale, but it is truly a first in American soccer and MLS! This beer has already converted plenty of hard alcohol drinkers… 60 kegs are ready for consumption and the beer will be on tap at Fuel all season long as well as the Atlantic Crossing, Temple Billiards, and other bars yet to be defined…
With the Sounders in the dumps right now, its certainly a good time to locate some good beer at the stadium. Considering the play of late — its a bit easier to put down a pint.
Big Al is certainly making a big splash with this beer, at this time. With the World Cup starting up next week, many soccer-themed bars in the area might get the hankering to jump on the Brougham Bitter train. This is excellent marketing for a wonderful Seattle microbrewer who continues to improve its beer with every new release.
We would not be surprised to see Brougham Bitter at places like the George & Dragon, the Dray, Fado and Kells. ECS works with partner bars in the area, such as Fuel, McCoy's Firehouse, and the College Inn Pub, all of which are likely to get a taste of the beer.
For now, we have been told that the beer will be sold at Pioneer Square's Fuel, a long time Sounders' supporters bar (ok ok long time" is 2 seasons, whatever). The beer is set to debut at 3 PM on June 5th, 2010 during the USA v. Australia friendly. Head over to Fuel and grab a pint.

The Blocked Pitot Exercise
When airspeed is erraticA certain kind of aviation accident occurs with unfortunate regularity. Commonly, the victim is an inexperienced pilot, operating a rarely flown airplane from a small airport, but the mishap can occur in other circumstances, too. What's sad is that just a few minutes of preventive training can avoid it altogether, under any conditions.
Here's how it usually goes: The pilot fires up the airplane and taxis out for departure. Maybe there was a preflight inspection, maybe not. In either case, the throttle is advanced, and the steed begins galloping down the runway. At about the usual place the pilot eases back on the stick and casts a glance over at the airspeed indicator (ASI) for confirmation of having reached rotation speed.
Something's wrong. The needle of the ASI is erratic and says the airplane has only achieved 35 knots indicated airspeed-fast enough for performing mushing slow flight but surely not a good speed for topping the trees at the end of the field. The airplane feels like it is doing better than that-in fact, it is now airborne and climbing.
The pilot is confused. Torn between what he sees outside and what he sees inside his airplane, he doesn't know what to believe. He is a safety-conscious pilot at heart so, not wanting to take undue chances, he pokes the nose down and tries to land on the remaining runway. He touches down fast and realizes immediately that it's too late for that; he's not going to get stopped in time. So he changes his mind again and reaches for the sky, but time has run out for decision making. Off the end he goes in a cloud of dust and flying grass.
The cause of this kind of mishap is some kind of obstruction in the pitot-static system: an insect, some ice, or perhaps even a pitot-tube cover may be the culprit. Sometimes a preflight inspection could have averted the incident, but other times the problem is hidden inside and would have avoided detection despite a careful inspection. That is why, after a student has flown a very few hours in primary training, it is a good idea to demonstrate in flight-and then have your student practice-establishing the pitch/power relationship for various airspeeds without the use of the airspeed indicator. Not only is this a cheap insurance policy against accidents, but it has the added benefit of showing the student how much he or she already knows about the airplane after only a few hours of experience.
A good time to do this is when starting work on flight at speeds slower than cruise. This is when flight at new angles of attack, with different control pressures, will be encountered for the first time. First we do some preliminary work in the slow-flight realm, getting used to the pitch/power combinations that result in various airspeeds from cruise down to minimum-controllable airspeed. When the student has gotten used to the idea that he or she can achieve a particular speed at will-simply by setting the required pitch/power combination-it's time for the next step. I pull out one of those floppy rubber instrument covers, slap it over the ASI, and ask the student to set up level flight at various airspeeds, based on the estimate we have made of the appropriate power/pitch combinations required. When the student has the airplane set up, and he or she says, "Ready," I peel back a corner of the instrument cover and we take a peek at the indication. Usually they succeed within five knots or so, and are both surprised and delighted at this result.
Later in the training program I will repeat the drill a few times, to make sure that the lesson has been remembered. During at least one of those reviews I will not reach over and remove the cover until we are taxiing back to the ramp at the end of the lesson. By then, in addition to the airwork described, we have worked on stall recognition and recovery, and performed several takeoffs and landings, and perhaps a go-around or two. Often, as I lean over and remove the cover from the ASI, the student laughs and says, "You know, I forgot all about that!" Which gives me the opportunity to point out again that other information besides the ASI-control pressure, angle of attack, power setting, and the feel of control forces-can be used with fair precision to estimate airspeed, should the ASI ever malfunction.
I explain that numerous people have run airplanes off the end of runways for lack of this simple and effective training, especially at short strips where the time to recognize and react to a problem on takeoff is especially compressed. The student now agrees, based on the knowledge acquired, that such an accident cause is entirely unnecessary. He or she is happy to know that one of aviation's pitfalls for the unwary has been avoided. For you, the flight instructor, this may be one the easiest "saves" you ever make.

Using fat to fuel cars might be environmentally friendly, but it's definitely illegal in California to use human medical waste to power vehicles, and Bittner is being investigated by the state's public health department.

XScreenSaver 5.08
A bunch of bug fixes, but most notably this time, I finally retired a bunch of screen savers that suck. Also I rewrote Jigsaw and Sonar as OpenGL programs, and they are a lot slicker now. The pieces in Jigsaw come in many more varieties, and it rotates the pieces as well.
Cocoa EXIF rotation
How do you load an NSImage with proper EXIF rotation applied? I can't figure out how to determine the correct rotation. The following doesn't work. I get a dictionary containing a bunch of EXIF keys like exposure and shutter speed, but the "Orientation" tag is notably missing, and the image is displayed sideways. Preview and Finder display it properly, and exiftool says the field is there.
NSImage *img = [[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filename];
NSArray *reps = [img representations];
NSBitmapImageRep *rep = reps ? [reps objectAtIndex:0] : 0;
if (rep) {
NSDictionary *exif = [rep valueForProperty: @"NSImageEXIFData"];
if (exif) {
NSString *rot = [exif objectForKey:@"Orientation"];
NSLog (@"rot = %@", rot);
NSEnumerator *e = [exif keyEnumerator];
id key;
while ((key = [e nextObject])) {
NSLog (@"%@ = %@", key, [exif objectForKey:key]);
I built an ornithopter.
I think it turned out pretty well.

You stay classy, Music Industry.
if you hadn't noticed, all of the dresden dolls and amanda palmer official videos have been taken off youtube.
yes, folks...girl anachronism, coin-operated boy, shores of california, almost everything from who killed amanda palmer....pretty much the whole deal. all gone. go look for yourself. and you ask...wtf? this is why: nytimes, wired.
basically: "Unable to reach new licensing terms, the Warner Music Group has demanded that thousands of its videos be removed from YouTube, which is owned by Google. Warner Music's videos, the source of a billion views on YouTube, gradually began disappearing from the site on Saturday, although many remained online Sunday evening."
in other words, roadrunner is a subsidiary of warner and i'm stuck in hell with madonna and the other poor bastards, because warner wants more money. even worse, warner has almost no bargaining power...they're not even in the top ten of labels who have huge artists with material streaming on youtube. they're just starving for cash right now and they're doing anything they can think of to come up with cash. it's abSURD. they are looking for money in a totally backwards way.
money that, i should point out, i would NEVER see as an artist. if they got their way and youtube decided to give them a larger revenue share of the videos, it;s very unlikely it would ever make it's way into the artists' bank accounts.

Opening day at Skyline Theater wasn't the blockbuster hit that she was hoping for, but manager Linda Epperson is still encouraged.
"We did open on a Wednesday, but we had a lot of positive remarks about people happy to see us back in town," Epperson said.
The theater sold about 150 tickets combined to the four showings of Turbo, the story of the high-velocity snail comedy by Dreamworks. Epperson said she'd hoped they'd have 250, but understands Wednesday isn't the most popular day to see a movie.
The theater was forced by the movie industry to begin showing the film on a Wednesday.
For about a month, Cañon City was without a movie theater, forcing film seekers to drive 45 minutes to see the newest flick.
Florence woman Sandra Smith said she was thrilled that Skyline Theater is back open. The family had been driving to Colorado Springs to watch new movies, but she and three family members went to Skyline Theater on Thursday.
The downtown theater at 606 Main St. will have shows Thursday through Saturday starting at 1 p.m., 3:30, 7 and 9:15. Beginning Sunday and going through Thursday, shows will start at 1 p.m., 3:30 and 7.
Admission is $7.50 for adults and $5 for seniors, children and matinees. For non-matinees, students with a valid school ID cost $6.
After the two-week run with Turbo, Epperson is hoping to snag Disney's Planes for its first two weeks. That would leave a one-week gap where she'd like to get Despicable Me 2.
Adults can rejoice, your movies are coming when the kids go back to school.
"Right now during the summer we would like to focus on some of these big, kids' movies that are coming out," she said. "Then starting in August, that's when they quit releasing them until Christmas. During that time we'll start filling in with the movies that are geared towards the older people."
She mentioned that she might try to get The Lone Ranger, but the 35 millimeter film that Skyline Theater uses constrains her somewhat.
That will need to change when a mandatory digital conversion date comes sometime in October or November, Epperson said. She said they plan to restart a Kickstarter program in the coming days that was unsuccessful in raising funds last month.

This week, the lion is winning
I'm stuck here in the middle with you. In this season of uncertainty, the good company is welcome.
Supposedly Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan were stuck in the middle of record negotiations when they wrote those lyrics, recorded by their band Stealers Wheel in 1972.
They could have been writing about March, the month that bears the double character of lion and lamb.
As I write, the lion is roaring.
The white lamb-like snow we expected this March storm to bring instead assaults in rapid-fire rain, driven in past the seals of windows and doors. Go outside, and the raindrops sting like pellets. The transformation from snow to rain is due to the warming influence of spring.
Like mid-20th century USA and USSR, lion and lamb do not coexist peacefully. On the worst of days, they butt heads, and we suffer the aftershock in extreme storms and dashed expectations.
In the pocket of warmth that is the District of Columbia, a cherry tree or two is blooming, and early flowering camellias are rioting. The yellow flowers of winter jasmine, that forsythia look-alike, have the company of daffodils. A few warm days, and those silly flowers pop open to mimic the sun.
Here where the winter-cool Chesapeake, now at 42 degrees, keeps temperatures a bit lower, daffodils are six inches tall and buds have swollen their sheaths, yellowing the green. Some crocuses could not postpone the irresistible impulse and have already sprung.
If we read more in these signs than spring can promise, it's because we're tired of winter's company.
Sure, as Sandy Anderson writes in this week's story, some snow would have blanketed winter's gray days with fun and beauty. In December, January or February, let it fall. Or at least endure it as winter's due. But snow in March? Get out of here! When meteorological winter is over, we want winter to be over.
Come on, lamb!
The spring cheering squad uses all kinds of ploys to trick winter into thinking the game's over.
Before winter's socks have been burned (March 23 at Annapolis Maritime Museum), shorts are exposing bare legs and leggings bare ankles. Even hearty housepainters are out in this middling weather, pretending paint can be fooled — or set — by temperatures in the 40s.
Landscapers are trimming, mulching and, at one home I passed in the woods behind Deale, building a stone fence.
Their exposed flesh must be burning from the chill. But if any business doesn't wait on warmth to prove spring, it's landscaping. At Greenstreet Gardens in Lothian, Ray Greenstreet is advertising a Hiring Blitz Sunday at noon March 10.
But with spring still two weeks away, we're stuck in a tug of war with both winter and spring pulling hard.
Being stuck in the middle would be easier to bear if our sense of the seasons were not so rigid. Four seasons is not enough to describe the complexities of passing time and weather. Subdividing each of the four into three parts gets us closer to felt truth. In that nomenclature, March is middling.
Rob Brezsny's Free Will Astrology lends me another insight into the middling nature of this month.
His March 7-13 horoscope for Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) quotes Charles Dickens, writing in Great Expectations: "It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade."
Today, the lion is winning.

MSNBC host and POLITICO columnist Joe Scarborough has a piece up today titled Paul Krugman vs. The World. It's about Paul Krugman's ostensibly contrarian views on the deficit and the national debt.
Here's how it's teased on the POLITICO homepage.
The article says: Paul Krugman favors running deeper deficits, but folks like the chief of the Council on Foreign Relations, Erskine Bowles, Scarborough himself, Mika Brzezinski, Steven Rattner, and former Joint Chief chairman Michael Mullen all disagree with Krugman.
Note that zero of the above people are "economists" let alone mainstream economists.
But actually there are plenty of economists and economically-literate minds who think that, to varying degrees, the deficit is not what we should be worrying about.
For Joe Scarborough's sake, here's a list of people. With each we've linked to comments they've made about their (lack of) worry about the deficit.
- Goldman chief economist Jan Hatzius
- Nomura economist Richard Koo
- Brad Delong
- Alan Blinder
- Martin Wolf
- Larry Summers
- James Galbraith
- Robert Reich
- Bruce Bartlett
- John Makin (a conservative AEI scholar with a new paper out today on the danger of overhyping deficit fears!)
- Rep. Jerry Nadler (not an economist, but as knowledgeable on economics as anyone up on Scarborough's list).
Anyway, that was just a partial list, but one that covers conservatives, liberals, Wall Street economists, and former government officials.
Note that several of them, including Paul Krugman himself, do acknowledge long-term issues arising from health care costs, so even the idea that Krugman wants to do nothing is a falsehood.
The issue is not as one-sided as Scarborough believes.

Hall of Fame right-hander Bob Feller never pitched in the minors. His overwhelming fastball propelled him to the majors with Cleveland in 1936 when he was 17.
By the time he was 22, Feller had led the American League in strikeouts for four straight seasons and had won 107 games.
Brad Ausmus, now the Detroit Tigers' skipper, might become the Bob Feller of managers.
MORE: Tigers name Ausmus manager
Ausmus, a catcher for 18 seasons, never has served either of the two apprenticeships often required for a major league managerial candidate: minor league manager or major league coach.
Yet Ausmus, 44, became the hottest managerial candidate around. He interviewed for at least three managerial jobs this offseason, including the Tigers' opening to succeed Jim Leyland.
Ausmus seems so inherently capable of managing that he could be the dugout equivalent of Feller: a standout that not only bypassed any professional apprenticeship, but showed from the outset he didn't need it.
General manager Dave Dombrowski is moving onto doubly unproven ground: not only does Ausmus not having any managing or coaching experience, but Dombrowski and Ausmus have never been in the same organization and thus haven't gotten to observe each other at close range over the tumults of a season.
Dombrowski indicated before the managerial search began that the Tigers don't want to hire a manager who needs a learning curve. They have a team and payroll designed to make a run at winning the World Series next year. There's no time for a manager to lose games because he's growing into the job.
Perhaps Dombrowski thinks that Mike Matheny's success in St. Louis shows that Ausmus could immediately lead a veteran team to the World Series.
Like Ausmus, Matheny was a calm, highly skilled catcher who played several years in the big leagues. Like Ausmus, Matheny had never managed or coached in pro ball when the Cardinals hired him to succeed Tony La Russa two years ago.
In Matheny's first year on the job, the Cardinals came within one win of the World Series. This season, the Cardinals did make it and lost to Boston. So if the inexperienced Matheny can immediately maintain the excellence of La Russa, why can't Ausmus do the same in following Leyland?
The most obvious answer is familiarity.
Matheny was a special assistant with the Cardinals when he was hired. He knew the general manager who hired him, John Mozeliak. In his postplaying days, Matheny had gone to spring training with the Cardinals as an instructor and gotten to know many players.
Ausmus has no such familiarity with the Tigers' players. Most probably never have met him. In that sense, Dombrowski would be taking an even bigger chance on the inexperienced Ausmus than the Cardinals did on the inexperienced Matheny.
The Tigers might lose some games at least early in the season because Ausmus and the players are figuring each other out.
Ausmus spent part of the first half of his playing career with the Tigers, and it was obvious then that he had managerial potential.
He could hold a highly intelligent conversation that involved either a lot of baseball or none at all; he was unflappable and witty; he was confident and congenial; he was pinpoint eloquent. And he was a catcher, the best position for a future manager because it's the only one that teaches both sides of the game so thoroughly.
Ausmus batted more than 7,000 times, so he knows all the challenges of hitting. He caught more than 15,000 innings, so he knows all about pitching.
Ausmus and Dombrowski missed each other by a year in Detroit. Dombrowski's predecessor Randy Smith, a huge fan of Ausmus, traded him after the 2000 season for a reason that, in the Tigers' current abundance, seems quaint: payroll-cutting.
Dombrowski does know the other three candidates who are known to have interviewed for the job.
He was Expos general manager when Tim Wallach was that team's third baseman; he was Marlins GM when Rick Renteria managed four years in that club's farm system; and has been Tigers president and GM for these past eight years that Lloyd McClendon has been on Leyland's coaching staff.
But perhaps Ausmus' baseball intellect, like Feller's fastball, is the kind that rarely comes along. Perhaps that intellect makes him immensely qualified despite his lack of experience. Perhaps Ausmus' mind is like Feller's fastball: faster than anyone else's.

Hitting the Brake on Ethanol
Government Proposes Easing Level of Corn-Based Additive Required in Gasoline
WASHINGTON—The Environmental Protection Agency on Friday proposed for the first time to ease an annual requirement for ethanol in gasoline, saying that levels mandated in a 2007 law are difficult, if not impossible, to meet.
The move represents one of the biggest setbacks to date for ethanol, long seen as a promising way for the U.S. to reduce dependence on imported oil. Most U.S. ethanol comes from corn, and the move came despite a heavy lobbying push from corn-producing states....

A Newspoll has found 47 per cent of voters believe the coalition will win the next federal election.
The survey published in The Australian on Thursday also showed voters do not support minority rule, with almost almost 50 per cent believing that Labor, which rules with the support of the Greens and independents, has delivered worse government since the last election.
The survey showed only 13 per cent of voters believe having a minority government has been better.
The Newspoll found 47 per cent of all voters believed the coalition would win the next election compared to 28 per cent who predicted a Labor win.
Among coalition supporters, 76 per cent said the opposition would win the election and nine per cent said the government would be returned.
There was less bravado amongst Labor voters with 52 per cent saying Labor will win, with 23 per cent predicting a coalition victory and 25 per cent uncommitted.

In the days after the June 12 presidential election in Iran, hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets, spurred on – at least in part – by messages exchanged on a range of social networks, from Facebook to MySpace. Among the most popular was persiankiwi, a Twitter user purportedly located in Iran. Such was his or her clout that one outlet dubbed persiankiwi "the world's most important journalist."
At a time when many Western journalists were barred from leaving their hotel rooms – or forbidden from entering the country at all – persiankiwi appeared to have a front-row seat to the carnage. On June 24, he or she posted the following updates to Twitter:
• saw 7/8 militia beating one woman with baton on ground - she had no defense nothing - #Iranelection sure that she is dead
• they were waiting for us - they all have guns and riot uniforms - it was like a mouse trap - ppl being shot like animals
• I see many ppl with broken arms/legs/heads - blood everywhere - pepper gas like war
• just in from Baharestan Sq - situation today is terrible - they beat the ppls like animals
Alongside Neda Soltan, a woman apparently shot dead by a basiji militiaman on the streets of Tehran, persiankiwi became a symbol of a new uprising – one that derived its power from a sprawling network of young protesters.
As BNO's Michael van Poppel discovered, by the end of June, CNN.com was even picking up persiankiwi's tweets, and weaving them into news stories posted on the site. (CNN did this without attributing the accounts to persiankiwi, or indicating that the information came from Twitter; a spokesman for the network later apologized.)
Today, Iranian security forces and plainclothes militiamen clashed with protesters near Tehran University, the Los Angeles Times reported. The incident, which was sparked by a sermon delivered by opposition supporter Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, has hurled Iran back into the global spotlight.
And again, Twitter is bursting at the digitized seams with accounts of the conflict. (To follow discussions on the Iranian elections, navigate to Twitter – you don't need a user name or password – and type in the search field #IranElections.) But one voice is missing: that of persiankiwi, who has been silent since late June.
Persiankiwi's last message to his or her tens of thousands of followers was posted on June 24, at 11:39 in the morning: "Allah - you are the creator of all and all must return to you - Allah Akbar - #Iranelection Sea of Green." The final three words of the post refer to the color worn by many of the opposition protesters in and out of Iran.
A mystery deepens
It's very hard to determine exactly what happened to persiankiwi, since his or her identity was never made public.
Many bloggers have speculated that persiankiwi was arrested – a plausible scenario, considering how willing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been to silence anti-government voices. (Earlier this month he had one blogger arrested for claiming that Ahmadinejad had Jewish roots.)
Alternatively, many have argued that persiankiwi is in hiding, or has begun blogging under a different name. In late June, for instance, Fershteh Ghazi, an Iranian journalist, wrote that persiankiwi was not arrested, but had merely lost regular Internet access.
Another possibility: government forces commandeered persiankiwi's account, and used it to broadcast at least one pro-Ahmadinejad message before freezing the feed completely. This would explain the final post, which broke from the blow-by-blow reporting of previous messages.
For his part, blogger Aric Mayer has argued that persiankiwi may simply have become disillusioned by the scale of the violence. On June 24, Mayer wrote that, "So far [persiankiwi's] twitter stream has been infused with excitement, potential and hidden dangers, as if these were furtive dispatches in a Matrix like underground resistance, tapping in and out of the web to upload small bits and direct traffic towards some useful end."
Mayer proceeded to parse the arc of persiankiwi's posts – from hope, to terror, to the final post praising Allah. "The last line sounds like a benediction," Mayer writes. "The tone has changed dramatically and if these reports are true, I fear that this a turning point in the revolution."
Whatever the case, that was the last the word from persiankiwi.

Basic Requirements for Catholics
As a Catholic, basically you're required to live a Christian life, pray daily, participate in the sacraments, obey the moral law, and accept the teachings of Christ and his Church. Following are the minimum requirements for Catholics:
Attend Mass every Sunday and holy day of obligation.
Go to confession annually if not more often or when needed.
Receive Holy Communion during Easter. Receiving weekly or daily is encouraged, though.
Observe laws on fasting and abstinence: one full meal on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday; not eating meat on Fridays during Lent.
Obey the marriage laws of the Church.
Support the Church financially and otherwise.
Knowing the faith is the first step to being Catholic, accepting the faith is the second step, and practicing the faith is the third — and most difficult — step. Obeying the rules involves appreciating the wisdom and value of the various rules and laws. And, you're asked to put that belief into action, to practice what you believe.

Agudas Israel congregation in Hendersonville recently received a grant from the BJH Foundation for Senior Services for its congregational nursing outreach.
Agudas Israel receives senior outreach grant
Agudas Israel congregation in Hendersonville recently received a grant from the BJH Foundation for Senior Services for its congregational nursing outreach.
According to the National Jewish Population Survey, the U.S. Jewish community is rapidly aging, doubling to more than a million from 1957 to 2012. In addition, recent economic and legislative changes have resulted in cuts for many federal and state programs that serve older adults. Helping fill the funding void, the Greensboro-based BJH Foundation recently awarded more than $203,230 in grants to 21 programs focusing on improving the lives of Jewish older adults across North and South Carolina.
With an endowment in the millions, BJH Foundation has granted more than $1.4 million over the past seven years to qualifying nonprofit organizations. Grant awards of up to $25,000 each help nonprofits cover expenses for food, mailings, supplies, educational materials and salaries for social workers, congregational nurse staff and other necessary expenses.

Meet LDS missionaries to Hendersonville
Meet the representatives from The Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-day Saints — Elder Flynn and Elder Forsyth — at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Hendersonville church at 2005 Brevard Road.
Everyone has seen them riding their bikes with white shirts, dress pants, ties and neatly trimmed hair. These young men are dedicating two years of their lives to serve in the Tennessee Knoxville mission, which includes Hendersonville.
Although they share the same mission, Elder Forsyth grew up in a small town in southern Utah, working construction and farming. He easily could have been raised in North Carolina by displaying a love for riding horses, farming, camping, hiking, hunting, four-wheeling, country music and trucks.
On the other hand, Elder Flynn is from Gilbert, Ariz., and placed college on hold to serve his mission. He loves the outdoors as well, but his passion revolves around music. Being in the symphony and the drum line in high school nurtured his love for making and listening to music.
Call 828-489-1938 for more information.
Choral Evensong at St. James on Sept. 29
The choir of St. James Episcopal Church will sing Choral Evensong at 5 p.m. Sept. 29 at the church, 766 N. Main St., Hendersonville, as part of the sesquicentennial celebration marking the 150th anniversary of the church.
The choir will sing "Magnificat" and "Nunc dimittis in F" by Peter Aston, "Anglican" chant by Edward Bairstow, and "Prayers and Responses" by Richard Ayleward. Anthems will be "Through the Day thy Love has Spared us" by Phillip Moore and "Fear Not, O Land" by William Harris.
The service will be followed by a piano recital by Andrew Rogelberg, who was active as a pianist, accompanist and teacher in New York for many years. In 2012 his fondness for the Blue Ridge Mountains prompted him to return to his family's home in Hendersonville. He is the music director of Hope United Methodist Church in East Flat Rock. Rogelberg studied at The Harid Conservatory in Boca Raton, Fla., as well as Indiana University and the New England Conservatory.
Rogelberg will play works by Debussy, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff.

Guild of Change Ringers to meet at St. James
The annual meeting of the North American Guild of Change Ringers is Wednesday through Sept. 29 at St. James Episcopal Church, 766 N. Main St., Hendersonville.
The St. James Guild of Change Ringers will host visiting ringers from around the United States and from Canada and Britain during training events at the St. James Bell Tower, one of two change-ringing towers in North Carolina.
Visiting and local ringers will participate in a training course on Thursday and Friday and in service ringing on Sept. 28-29.
The St. James Tower is one of 44 such bell towers in the United States. There are eight towers in Canada. Change ringing began in England in the 17th century and followed Anglican settlers to commonwealth nations. The North American Guild has about 500 members. The majority of practitioners, about 40,000, live in England, where there are about 5,000 towers.
The bells were traditionally and are still rung to call worshipers to services, to commemorate the lives of those who have died, and to celebrate weddings and other special events such as the inauguration of a president or, as recently, the birth of a prince.
Ringing will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Sept. 28 and prior to the 9 and 11:15 a.m. services on Sept. 29.

Subscribe To California Lawmakers Criticize Academy Awards Over Seth MacFarlane's Misogyny Updates
I've already subscribed
See, we're not the only ones who had a problem with Seth MacFarlane's job hosting at the Oscars!
You might have caught the rousing debate we've been having over the last few days around here, with some defending MacFarlane's hosting duties and others calling out his sexism. Most of the commenters seem to be siding with MacFarlane, but now some California lawmakers are teaming with the anti-MacFarlane camp. Assemblywoman Bonnie Lowenthal and Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, Democrats who are part of the California state legislature, wrote a letter to the Academy calling MacFarlane's jokes "disturbing" noting that the host "crossed the line from humor to misogyny." The letter quoted by The Huffington Post went on to ask the Academy to show better judgment in the future:
"On Oscar night, when Hollywood seeks to honor its best, Seth MacFarlane's monologue reduced our finest female actresses to caricatures and stereotypes, degrading women as a whole and the filmmaking industry itself.
I've already said more than enough around here about how I pretty much agree with these lawmakers, and found most of MacFarlane's jokes not only not particularly funny, but sexist. But I also cringe a little bit when politicians try to get involved in what is essentially art-- yes, the Oscar broadcast isn't the same thing as Apocalypse Now, but it represents artistic expression very much covered under the First Amendment. I wish MacFarlane hadn't said much of what he said, but I'd never deny him the right to say it… and though these lawmakers aren't either, it seems unwise for political figures to comment on these kinds of events one way or another.

The Future of Mobile is Now

CRM Evolution '09, Day 2: Mobile applications are bridging the gap between sales and CRM.
NEW YORK — As a former salesperson himself, Tony Busacca says he's intimately familiar with the field's most common question: "Did I make the sale?" And yet, at a Tuesday session here at the CRM Evolution conference, Busacca -- now a principal at On-Course Advisors -- challenged the audience to focus not on the sale, but on the information gathered as a result of the sale. More to the point, he said, companies have to focus on customer needs, whether or not those needs were satisfied by the sale.
That's the very nature of sales intelligence, Busacca told the crowd, and it must be aligned with CRM. Unfortunately, of the three main components of CRM -- marketing, sales, and customer service -- Busacca argued that sales tends to be the least connected. "Sales wants to exchange information," he said, "but only to the extent that it matters to the sale." Driven by organizations demanding greater intelligence, Busacca argued that mobile technology is finally poised to modify that behavior.
According to Busacca, three primary challenges occur when attempting to tie CRM to the sales cycle:
Busacca suggested that the promise of mobile CRM is that it will enable real-time communication, from the point of contact to the point of utilization. Thanks to the increasing use of smartphones and complex mobile applications, he said, companies can now realize numerous benefits, such as increased brand awareness, new customer acquisitions, and decreased cost of service. Citing a survey his firm conducted in 2008, Busacca outlined the business-use drivers for adoption of mobile technology:
Mobile has become so mission-critical, Busacca argued, that organizations should pursue a related initiative simply because the capability now exists. The effort alone, he said, can help produce the intelligence necessary to:
"The ability to access information, how you need it, and when you need it," Busacca said, "is probably the clearest definition of a mobile CRM solution." More important, in an age where the consumer is in control, any company that makes it convenient for customers to interact -- wherever and whenever the customers prefer -- will have a competitive advantage. "The greatest fear of a salesperson is walking into a meeting and being ill-informed," he said. Mobile CRM will address that concern with real-time communication.
It wasn't that long ago, Busacca recalled, that many people were skeptical of adequately conducting business over a mobile device. And yet, despite the economic downturn, high-tech market research firm Canalys reported in November 2008 that smartphone shipments in the third quarter of 2008 rose nearly 28 percent year-over-year. Busacca also noted that two-thirds of today's companies have expressed the intent to deploy mobile applications.
And yet, as Busacca acknowledged, mobile technology remains far from maturity, especially in the United States. Still, he said, there are continual advancements in the technology and in the applications being developed. As the reliance on mobile devices continues to bridge the gap between businesses and consumers -- and to blend professional and personal lives -- Apple's "There's an app for that" slogan is gradually becoming a reality.
With an eye to the mainstream future of mobile, Busacca listed several uses of the technology that are already available, if perhaps in limited use:

The Icelandic director Marteinn Thorsson is in Karlovy Vary with the international premiere of his film XL in Competition.
The film is a challenging drama/black comedy showing alcoholic politician Leifur (Olafur Darri Olafsson) who throws a wild party before he is sent to rehab by the Prime Minister. Thorsson co-wrote the script with Gudmundur Oskarsson.
The director previously made One Point O (with Jeff Renfroe) and Rokland after he studied film at Toronto's Ryerson University and graduated with the film Diary of an Assassin.
The topic hit close to home for him. "There are a lot of alcoholics in Iceland. Films about alcoholism have been done before, but I wanted to get inside his head, to shoot it as a state of mind. I've been there myself. It also wanted to make it a parable on corruption and loss of ethics. Looking at people in power and the world view they might have."
"It's a difficult film to watch, because we're in the time zone of an alcoholic," the director adds. "There are constant deja vus and memory gaps. Part of it is that he's living a lie and you don't know what's true and what's not true. The world view is skewed - it's not what's normal people deal with in their daily lives."
As one can imagine, the response in Iceland has been mixed. "I've had old friends who haven't spoken to me since then, they were shocked," Thorsson says of the debauched scenes on screen.
Yet the character of Leifur is not without some charm, thanks in part to the strong performance of Olafsson (best known to international audiences from Baltasar Kormakur's The Deep.) "He has gravitas and charm and power. He has a great gut, in both the physical and emotional sense," the director says of the actor, who he has now worked with three times. Of the character, he adds: "He's not supposed to be sympathetic but you can empathise with him in his moments of despair. You have to show him vulnerable. That's how human beings are."
The style of working grew out of 2010 short Permille, of which he says: "I was itching to do something with digital cameras, I wanted to see if I could make a film and finish it at home and still show it in theatres. It was a fun little film and it ended up playing at festivals."
For XL, a small crew shot the film during a "pretty frenetic" 17 day shoot, using two Canon 5Ds. They experimented with new visual styles. "I didn't want to do a lot of post manipulation, so we did it with optics. We would hold the lenses slightly skewed from the camera. It's a pretty accurate representation of somebody trying to relive a blackout."
The pace of the shoot is reflected on screen. "We shot very fast, I wanted that energy, it was like a burst of really exciting and enthusiastic energy and that shows in the film," he adds.
Thorsson and Oskarsson's own Tenderlee Motion Pictures Company produced, with Stor &Sma co-producing and support from the Icelandic Film Centre.
The director's next projects include an adaptation of Gudrun Eva Minervudottir's novel YOSOY, plus sci-fi film Protos.
YOSOY is about a doctor of pain who is researching a group of people in a circus/theatre troupe who push themselves to the limit. It's also a love story as he falls in love with the lead performer. Jon Atli Jonasson, who co-wrote The Deep, is working on the script and the project could potentially shoot in Denmark.
Protos is set in a futuristic Iceland, where the country has been turned into a geothermal plant and a place where convicts are kept.
Above all, Thorsson wants to keep making personal, creative projects. "Ted Hope, Spielberg and Lucas, they are saying that this whole model is going to crash. We need more personal art. We need to get it out to people," Thorsson says. "Those people handing out the public money have to hand it out to people with creative vision and take risks. And not like Syd Field guidebook to tell you that you need a plot point on page 18 or your film is going to suck. It's a deterrent to creative art."

New Hartford Boy Scouts celebrate construction of new rifle range
New Hartford >> The Boy Scouts at Camp Workcoeman in New Hartford are enjoying their new rifle range after they celebrated the new structure with a grand re-opening back in July 24.
The new rifle range replaced the Boy Scout's old 12 foot by 40 foot rifle range after it collapsed from heavy snowfall in February 2011.
With funding help from KBE Building Corporation and other subcontractors, the rifle range is now 16 feet by 64 feet, larger than the old one, and can accommodate a .22 rifle or shotgun.
As the rifle range cost in total about $28,000, a $10,000 donation from KBE led the project with other funding assistance from MK Construction who donated $1,500, Sanford and Hawley who donated $5,600 in materials, the National Rifle Association which gave a grant of $4,800 and other help from an insurance claim payment and volunteer work.
KBE has been a long-time supporter of the Boy Scout's organization as the construction firm funded two pro bono projects, a shower house renovation at Camp Workcoeman and a kitchen renovation for Camp Tadma in Bozrah. All material and labor for both projects was donated.
"The Boy Scouts are an organization we have supported for many years," said Mike Kolakowski, KBE's President and CEO. "We believe in what the Boy Scouts stand for in developing our youth into successful, well-rounded individuals."
The Boy Scout's at Camp Workcoeman have found the new rifle range to be a successful addition to their organization.
"It's leaps and bounds beyond expectations. The boys enjoy it for the most obvious reason, that it teachs them about fire arms and discipline," said Jorge Baujin, Assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 3 in Torrington. "It's just a great asset to the camp."
Inluded in the grand re-opening of Lake Workcoeman's rifle range, there was a ribbon "shooting" where eight Boy Scouts aimed rifles at the ribbon surrounding the new rifle range.
"We think it's a great organization that build young adults and makes them successful," Kolakowski said."The boy scouts are an organization we will continue to support."

Nasher necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 55 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
Sellmyhome.co.uk is a brand new property sales website, aimed at changing the way vendors sell their home in the UK. In a market dominated by extortionate estate agent fees, sellmyhome.co.uk is designed to give home owners the chance to market their home to the public, but for a fraction of the cost. We're a passionate start-up business that wants to change the property market for the better.
Home owners in the UK
Likely to be web savvy, and probably in the age range of 21-60.
99% of people in the UK can't stand estate agents (because they can be untrustworthy and deceitful), but unfortunately there is little choice when it comes to selling their home.
They will be very familiar with the corporate looking websites of estate agents, with their boring functionality and feel.
In order to change their behaviour away from using an estate agent, they need to be able to trust the sellmyhome.co.uk website, and quickly establish that we are a different kettle of fish altogether.
We want them to love our site as soon as they land on it.
We need;
1. A homepage design (current page http://www.sellmyhome.co.uk)
2. A content page design (example content page http://www.sellmyhome.co.uk/AboutSMH)
We're after a fresh, innovative and non corporate looking site that stands out like a sore thumb from the estate agent sites.
We're all about people, introducing buyers and sellers to each other, therefore we would love to illustrate this in the design.
Here is a list of sites that we love;
http://www.zopa.com (great illustrations and very much the inspiration for our site, so wouldnt be upset if our design had a zopa feel)
http://www.streetcar.com (simple and modern)
http://www.flipflopflyin.com/atlasschmatlas/. - for the illustrations style. We would love soemthing of this style to sit at the bottom of every page. Illustrating the human / community aspect of the site.
Estate agent sites look tired and old fashioned, so we have an opportunity to be one of the first property sites that has a genuine web 2.0 look and feel. (i.e. old fashioned site http://www.johndwood.co.uk/)
Our current dummy site that is up and running (http://www.sellmyhome.co.uk) has the kind of concept that we after, with the blue sky background epitomising the 'breath of fresh air' look we're after. We're not stuck on this blue sky idea, although we do like it.
As well as using all the current content shown, we'd like to introduce a few extra facilities on the homepage, namely;
1. An 'in the news' area, with quote from latest big news article
2. Link to our facebook / blog / twitter page
As for the logo, this is to stay as it is, although we would love someone to give it some gloss.

I received my Surefire E1B Backup from LAPoliceGear.com last Wednesday (5 days ago). This little light has remained in my pocket every day since I received it
First, let's get my only gripe out of the way...
Without any knurling, it does seem a bit slippery to handle. I'll be honest, I had read on here someone else mention the very same thing but didn't think much of it until I started using one myself. It's not too bad though, you just have to be sure you keep a good grip on it. This is really only a minor gripe.
Next, let me just come right and say it...I absolutely love this little light! I really like its forward clicky which enables me to press for momentary on and click for constant. The switch has an excellent feel to it. I might have to get a SF forward clicky for my 6PL now
I know that some of you will disagree with me here, but I actually like the fact that it comes on in high first, then low mode second. If I'm walking along and want to immediately light something up that I hear around the corner or in a bush or something, I want it immediately coming on with all 80 lumens. If I'm in a real low-light environment where I don't want to destroy my night adapted vision, I'll simply press the head of light against my body and click through to low mode before uncovering it.
On high, this light really throws a lot of light. It definitely out throws my 6PL which is also 80 lumens. But what I found even more impressive, is how useful the low mode is. On low, it has roughly half the total output of my Fenix L0D Q4 on low (which I confirmed in an ultra scientific ceiling-bounce test ) but keeps the light in a much tighter, much more useable beam. I really though that 5 lumens would be pretty weak, but with Surefire's TIR, it really is very useable. In comparison, the L0D's 11 lumen low just diffuses the light too much for it to be very useable in anything less that VERY dark environments IMHO (at least compared to the 5 lumen, TIR from the E1B).
In fact, when I first compared the E1B on low to my L0D on low, I though that the E1B was putting out more light (hey, we all know that Surefire lumens are bright ), but I was quite suprised to see in the ceiling-bounce-test the L0D really lit up the room better than the E1B.
Before I end this with some pictures I took of my E1B, I'd like to just say that I'd strongly recommend this light to anyone considering purchasing one.

FIFTY24SF Gallery presents "Lush Sells His Soul in San Francisco" a solo exhibition and installation by Melbourne, Australia's LUSH opening August 5th at 7pm.
LUSH is a graffiti writer who likes porn, kittens, and making people angry. His work features male and female genitalia juxtaposed with comedic messages and comic book illustrative style. He sometimes makes people, especially other members of the graffiti community, upset with his pornography graffiti, tongue-in-cheek videos, and unfiltered twitter and interview statements. When he is at his most theatrical, LUSH makes artwork inspired by other graffiti writers, created in an absurdist style demanding a call and response. Some see the work as equally offensive, equally humorous. His recent photo shoots require naked female models/strippers/porn stars to interact with his graffiti. In a recent conversation, LUSH has called Larry David an idol. Is he serious? Who the fuck does this guy LUSH think he is?
Known as both a controversial talent and grand shit talker, LUSH comes to FIFTY24SF Gallery as a much-talked about artist who has invigorated the Flickr and Twitter community over the past 24 months with the spread of his graffiti. For his first solo show in San Francisco, LUSH explores the idea that gallery shows should be events more than a place to see art. Example: If you like women naked in front of your graffiti, bring the nudity to the gallery. LUSH and team have created a real-life installation peep show, featuring models from San Francisco's iconic nude revue, the Lusty Lady. The exhibition will also feature a new series of works on canvas. Mostly, LUSH plans on keeping up on some contemporary shit-talk.
LUSH asks that you remember to bring your $1 bills to the show and 50 hand made t-shirt from LUSH will be given out during the show.

LITTLETON, N.H., Jan 30 (Reuters) - New England's once mighty fishing industry suffered a blow on Wednesday after a council voted to cut cod fishing quotas by more than 50 percent this year amidst sharply declining North Atlantic stocks of the bottom-feeder.
At a meeting in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the New England Fishery Management Council voted to slash the legal harvest of cod in the Gulf of Maine by 77 percent to 1,550 metric tons for the fishing season beginning May 1, said Pat Fiorelli, a spokeswoman for the council.
"It's really grim," said Fiorelli. "These stocks are in real decline and questions were raised about whether they'll ever come back."
It also cut the quota for cod caught on Georges Bank, an area stretching east of Cape Cod, by 55 percent to 2,002 metric tons. The new quotas will be in effect until 2016.
The limits highlight the disappearance of a fish species that helped draw settlers to North America from Europe 500 years ago.
This year's quotas are equivalent to about 6 percent of the landings of Georges Bank and Gulf of Maine cod in 1981. Researchers at the University of New Hampshire estimate that cod stocks have declined by about 90 percent in the last 50 years due to overfishing and other changes to marine ecosystems.
In September the Commerce Department issued a disaster declaration for the fishery, a move that set the stage for emergency relief funding from Congress.
A total of $150 million in relief for the New England and two other fishing areas was included in an early version of the Hurricane Sandy relief bill that passed earlier this month, but was removed from the final version of the law.
"There are a lot of scared fishermen figuring out what their future is going to look like and a lot of people scared about what the ecosystem looks like," said Ben Martens, director of the Maine Coast Fishermen's Association, which represents 35 fishermen.
The council considered and rejected a motion to close the fisheries completely in order to give the fish populations a better chance to recover, though that did little to cheer the industry, said Martens. Fishermen who made 100 trips to sea last year will likely make between 15 and 30 this year, he said.
"We've got a lot of guys who have been working very hard to create businesses that are solvent and this cut is going to be really hard on them," Martens said. (Editing by Cynthia Johnston and Eric Walsh)

With low energy use and high illumination yield, the ND Series of Laser Designators enables you to focus full illumination where you need it most, with the least loss of light due to "flooding". The ND Series puts you in full control of directed laser light for maximum illumination of the intended object.
Laser Genetics utilizes exclusive patented optical laser technology to develop the lighting instruments of tomorrow for civilian and professional use. With its headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida Laser Genetics of America is now one of the nation's fastest growing manufacturers of personal-use laser lighting products.
LGA is dedicated to developing high efficiency laser illumination products specific for outdoors, law enforcement, military, marine, EMT, and home defense use.
Through extensive research, LGA has developed a product line that is more than just a laser pointer. The ND-3® Series, ND-3® Subzero™ series and the ND-5® Laser Illuminator are hand held laser products that utilize new laser technology that delivers the ultimate night vision solution at an affordable price and suitable for any weather condition.
Common for all Laser Genetics products is the patented optical collimator. Through a quick and easy to use, one hand adjustment of the beam diameter, you will be able to focus illumination where you need it most. By adjusting the beam to a wide diameter, you can light up any object in low or no light conditions, or pinpoint a target in close quarters with minimal natural light. Contrary, by adjusting the beam to a narrow and more intense light it could be used to illuminate your target up to 500 yards* or used as a bright signaling device for search and rescue in case of an emergency situation.
The ND-3® Series Laser Designators and the ND-5® Laser Illuminator are developed to be used in weather conditions of 40˚ F. or above. For cold weather situations in temperatures of 40˚ F. and below, we recommend using the NEWLY designed Subzero™ line of products. Through innovative technology and unique circuitry they are specifically designed to operate without loss of power in subzero temperatures.
