Saturday, many from the WAYfinding community gathered for dinner and conversation around creating meaningful meals. We prepped and served spaghetti and salad - delicious, and inspired by last week's "Friday Night Meatballs" article, intentionally simple. Then, while the kids engaged in their own learning activities, the adults heard from Indiana farmer Jeff Hawkins of Hawkins Family Farms. What a joy! Jeff and his family's approach to farming is holistic and deeply thoughtful. I, and others, left feeling inspired and hopeful for Indiana agriculture.
So engrossed in the conversation with Jeff, we didn't get to part 2: creating a more meaningful experience around the dinner table. It's about being intentional with this time - living into our values - rather than simply going through the motions when we eat. So in lieu of that conversation, and for others who may be interested, I invite you to reflect personally on the below questions as well as consider integrating some of the suggested ideas.
- What did mealtime look like when I was a child? Were there any rituals? If so, what? In what ways does this history show up in my eating/meal habits today?
- Paint a word picture of your meals today. What is the general mood? Who prepares the meals? Do I normally eat alone, with another, kids, etc.? Where do I/we eat?
- What would I like my meals to look like and/or feel like today? Perhaps consider... a) What do I and/or what does my household need more of now? b) What values are important to me? How might I infuse these into the selection, preparation and eating of my meals?
- Set an intention for your grocery store run, the preparation of a meal, and/or the meal itself. (Perhaps using the mealtime vision you described above.) Pay attention to how it feels, changes your experience, etc.
- Take a moment of silence/meditation before beginning your meal.
- Pray. Consider incorporating a unique offering at each meal - for example, a daily gratitude(s).
- While eating, share gratitudes around the table.
- Recall and share (in detail) a favorite memory from the day. Perhaps something that filled you with awe or wonder, questions, laughter, etc.
- Take the first minute of each meal to intentionally eat mindfully. Adapted from Thich Nhat Hahn's Peace Is Every Step... As you eat very slowly, think about each person, creature, plant, element, etc. involved in making this moment possible. Think about each bite as it moves down and through your body. Think about its nutrients, and even spiritual history and essence interacting with and impacting your own. Open yourself to your inextricable interconnectedness.
- Eat your values and remind yourself/your household why you're doing so around the table... It's important to me to eat locally grown food because... The reason I eat whole foods is... I value organics because... There are many farmers in my/our family so... Etc.
- Incorporate what matters to you/your household... Is laughter/humor valued? Share funny jokes. Politics? Justice? Discuss a topic. Etc.

Ranveer Oselmo
20 month-old Ranveer Oselmo was admitted to Georgetown Public Hospital burn care unit on 6th November, 2017 after he sustained deep second degree burns to 35% of his body.
The accident occurred at home when he somehow found his way next to a kerosene stove and fuel spilled on him causing his body to catch on fire. The extent of Ranveer's injuries is life threatening and advance treatment needed to save his life is not available in Guyana.
A request was made to SHEA Charity on November 8, to assist in having Ranveer transferred to the United States for urgent lifesaving treatment. SHEA accepted Ranveer case and immediately began coordinating his transfer. However, there were many hurdles to overcome as the child nor his mother had any of the necessary travel documents including a birth certificate for child. We were fortunate to be able to connect with several individuals including the administration at GPHC, who assisted in expediting the process of securing these documents, while we simultaneously worked on securing treatment in the US and coordinate his transport.
Please help us help Ranveer by making a donation towards his treatment and recovery. SHEA is a publicly funded charity, which is managed by volunteers. 100% of all donations are allocated to patient care.
Ranveer departed Guyana on Thursday, November 16, 2017, onboard an Air One air ambulance bound for Houston, Texas and was immediately taken into surgery upon arrival. His initial surgery was a success with no complications; however, he must undergo several more surgeries before he can return home to Guyana.
On December 16, 2017, just one month after arriving in the United States, Ranveer returned home to Guyana completely healed and happily reunited with his family. Since his return home, we (SHEA) have not received an update from the family despite our repeated attempts to make contact for an update.
SHEA wishes Ranveer continued good health.

Great 1st day at #dcco2011 and took lots of video. Will upload shortly to http://dogstar.org along with short blog posts of my own notes.
Headed into "Keeping Your Sanity Working with Clients". #dcco2011 #drupal
"Drupal doesn't sit on the shoulder of giants but on the shoulders of many midgets" -- greggles #dcco2011
1 year of sandbox projects almost == to 10 years of projects on Drupal.org #dcco2011 #crazy
At the collaboration session being led by @benswords in the #aten room. #dcco2011 #drupalcampCO
#dcco2011 It is hard to fix "your website sucks" - be specific. #drupal
#dcco2011 Clients are scared of Developers. #drupal
#dcco2011 discovered that out of the box is inflexible and doesn't fit expectations. #Drupal
At Client Perspective session listening to client as to how he had ADD changing scope and admitting unfairly blaming the developer. #dcco2011
At the Drupal Commerce session. #drupalcampCO
Tim believes that Ubercart will fade away in Drupal 8. #dcco2011
Tim says, "There is no rift in the community. Our standing up here together demonstrates that" #Drupal-ecommerce #dcco2011
Where are people thinking about eating lunch at #dcco2011 ? Sticking around for box lunches or heading out on the town? #drupalcamp CO
Definitely *some* tension between the ubercart and commerce presenters speaking together. Good job though working in tandem. #dcco2011
Pretty sure that I've been throttled at #dcco2011 as I try to upload @webchick's presentation to YouTube. May need to wait until I'm at home
Hummm... this dude just said that CCK wasn't used much in Drupal 5 in his ecommerce presentation... #DrupalHistoryFail #dcco2011
#dcco2011 in the Project Management session.
mobile is a drupal 8 initiative. #dcco2011
So, where are we going? Drupal 8 started in March. Dries has assigned some initiative owners. #dcco2011 #drupal
When no one's doing, STEP UP! Go nuts in the issue cue. Get on IRC #dcco2011
Find places to jump in - go to the community initiatives section on drupal.org #dcco2011 #drupal
Helping out gives you a stronger voice in the project. #dcco2011 #drupal
Help folks in the support forums. #dcco2011 but don't burn yourself out!
Hash tag for drupalcamp colorado? #dcco2011
@webchick says... "Cement knowledge in your head by documenting as you go in the Drupal.org handbook - it will help you and others."
I think @webchick likes kitty cats - lots of them in her #drupalcamp CO keynote.
@webchick points out that you DON'T NEED TO BE A CODER to contribute to opensource. #drupalcamp
"Fostering the Drupal community is actually more important than just managing the code base" -- Dries
@Webchick is about to get on stage.
The next Drupalcon is in London and then after that in #denver March 20th to March 22nd. There will be a Drupalcon BOF tomorrow afternoon.
Over half a million people are now involved with the #drupal project. Wow.
@benswords introduces the camp. @webchick is hanging in the wings. #drupalcampcolorado
Sitting at the King Center waiting for #Drupalcamp Colorado to start. Happy to see so many familiar and friendly faces like @jcfiala.

With general elections constitutionally due here by the middle of next year, outgoing Catholic Bishop Jason Gordon today called for a clean and peaceful campaign void of corruption and mudslinging.
Gordon made the call in the wake of a recent warning issued by a stalwart of the ruling Democratic Labour Party (DLP) that the upcoming election will be the mother of all political battles in Barbados in which "who lives with whom is going to come up as part of that election campaign", as well as the "same sex marriage thing" .
Derek Alleyne's warning at a DLP branch meeting late last month came less than 24 hours after Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler had publicly accused the Mia Mottley-led Barbados Labour Party of starting a smear campaign against him and fellow Cabinet minister Michael Lashley, in a desperate bid to win the Government.
"They want to undermine public confidence and trust in people," Sinckler told members of the DLP's City branch, while also cautioning that "this is going to be easily the nastiest campaign that would ever be fought in Barbados".
However, while expressing concern that the country was headed down a very dangerous path, Gordon today suggested that an election code of conduct, similar to what exists in neighbouring Caribbean countries, needed to be immediately put in place.
"Our neighbouring countries, Trinidad and St Vincent, just two examples, have a code of ethics for elections where the parties actually sign up voluntarily to say that 'we will adhere by these'. So things like how we would treat with others on the campaign platform and campaign financing, things like that. I think Barbados would do well to have a code of ethics for this election," he said in the wake of allegations of vote buying that marred the 2013 poll.
However, while acknowledging that no one was prosecuted for the alleged vote buying, the Catholic leader also pointed out that the claims were also "never denied in the media".
But while suggesting that Barbadians as a whole needed to take their democracy more seriously, he sternly cautioned that "once the instrument of democracy is bought and sold, that is my vote, it corrupts the whole of democracy".
"There are strong laws in the Representation of the People Act that are already there that govern if somebody going up for office does something wrong. We don't need new laws for this, but what we need . . . are citizens who take their democracy seriously and are willing to commit to a new kind of politics in Barbados and are willing to make sure and champion integrity for democracy in this country," the Catholic bishop said.
"This is a road, if we go down that road we reach to the place where we give away our democracy and then what we have is an oligarchy – a group of very rich people who will run this country, and then it doesn't matter who is in Government. The policies will be set not by the citizen's desires, but by those who have vested interest.
"I think that is a danger and I think that is something we have to guard very seriously about," he stressed.
Equally concerned about the domestic situation was Monsignor Vincent Blackett who said while "silly season" was usually the time when politicians "tear each other to bits", he hoped none of that takes place during the upcoming campaign.
"One of the things the church would want to see is a peaceful election in Barbados and that we don't have the kind of challenges that so many other people have, the fighting and that sort of thing.
"We have always had a peaceful election. Let's hope and pray that will continue and that people would respect each other, especially when it comes to campaigning and tearing people down and dragging people through the mud.
"We are saying that we should not see that happening our way. I pray and hope that will not happen in Barbados," Blackett emphasized.
Their comments came during a news conference today to officially announce the election of Bishop Gordon to the post of Archbishop of Port of Spain.
The archbishop-elect will be appointed to the post by the end of the year.
He replaces Archbishop Joseph Harris who resigned earlier this year.
Gordon will become the 11th Archbishop of Port of Spain with that archdiocese having responsibility for five dioceses – Trinidad, Barbados, Guyana, Curacao, and Suriname.

From Braxton Hicks kicking in to waking up to wee in the night, here's what to expect now that you're 31 weeks pregnant and racing through your third and final trimester. Not long to go until your due date now!
What's happening at 31 weeks?
Here are the key things you can expect from your pregnancy at this stage:
- Your baby's almost as long as he's going to get now; weight gain continues though.
- Braxton Hicks may kick in around now.
- Your 31-week antenatal appointment is due.
How big's your baby?
Your baby is now the size of a lettuce. Although he'll start to slow down his growth in length around now, he'll continue to gain more weight over the rest of the trimester.
He's currently weighing around 1.5kg, and with the average birth weight around 3.3kg, he's got some filling out still to do.
His arms and legs will be pretty much in proportion to his head and body now, and you may see them move across your bump, especially when you're in the bath. His fingers will even have nails on them, which can be quite long when he's born.
His bone marrow will be producing lots of lovely red blood cells, too.
Although he'll be sensitive to light and dark, he'll have his own movement patterns right through the day and night. If you notice any chances or reduction in these, speak to your midwife straight away.
What's going on with your body?
You might start to feel a tightening sensation across your belly. Don't worry, this is likely to be Braxton Hicks or practice contractions. They can last between 30 to 60 seconds and can be quite uncomfortable, although some women hardly notice them.
The main difference between Braxton Hicks contractions and genuine labour contractions is that they won't come at regular intervals and won't increase in severity or frequency.
However, if you notice a change in your discharge (watery, bloody or mucus), have pressure in your pelvis or lower back pain, or start cramping, then call your midwife as these could be signs of premature labour.
Many women don't have Braxton Hicks at all. Instead you may start feeling more tired, achy and ready to slow down a bit around now.
You'll also have to wee a lot, especially during the night when the need to pee comes suddenly and frequently. Make sure you empty your bladder fully to avoid urinary tract infections.
What to expect this week: your 31 week antenatal appointment
If this is your first baby you'll have an antenatal appointment this week.
Your midwife or doctor will:
- review, discuss and record the results of any screening tests from the last appointment
- measure your bump with a tape measure, to monitor growth rate
- measure your blood pressure
- test your urine for protein.
If you haven't written a birth plan yet, ask any questions during this appointment so that you can sit down and write it asap, ideally before the next appointment at 34 weeks.
Don't forget to take along your antenatal notes and a pot of wee. Leave yourself a note the night before to remind you if pregnancy is making you forgetful.
What to do this week: practise birth positions
Although TV shows paint a picture of giving birth flat on your back in a hospital bed, in reality it can be quite different.
Once you're in labour and contractions are underway, moving around and finding different positions can help relieve the discomfort and pain.
Before you get to that point, it's a good idea to try out some different positions so you know what to try.
Here are some popular birth positions worth practising:
- Sitting back-to-front on a chair, with a cushion or pillow to rest your forearms and head on.
- Standing, leaning against your partner, with your arms around his or her neck and your head on his or her shoulder.
- Leaning forwards on to a work surface (in the delivery suite, this could be the bed) with your head down on your forearms.
- Kneeling on all fours on a large floor cushion or pillow, and leaning on to a birthing ball, your partner's lap or a chair.
- Sitting on a birthing ball, rocking backwards and forwards
- Lying on your left side (to allow optimum blood flow from your legs, back to your heart), with your right leg and arm slung over pillows or a full-body bolster
- Squatting supported under the arms by your partner, or with your back against a bed or sofa and your forearms on the surface. This is particularly helpful in the later stages of labour, to help encourage the pelvis to open up more fully.
- Rocking your pelvis backwards and forwards in any position: this will help to distract you from the pain as well as encourage your baby down the birth canal.
Your 31 week to-do list
1 Remember to keep doing your pelvic floor exercises, which can be done any time, any place. Find out why they're worth putting in the effort here.
2 Make sure you go back to sleep on your side, each time you wake up or get up to pee in the night.
3 Don't overeat; you only need an extra 200 calories in this trimester, which is the equivalent of half a sandwich, a smoothie or some carrot sticks and two spoonfuls of houmous.
4 Get your partner involved in practising some different birth positions – watch the video below to get a better idea of how to do them ...

We propose and experimentally demonstrate the feasibility of an integrated hybrid optical fiber sensing interrogation technique that efficiently combines distributed Raman-based temperature sensing with fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based dynamic strain measurements. The proposed sensing system is highly integrated, making use of a common optical source/receiver block and exploiting the advantages of both (distributed and point) sensing technologies simultaneously. A multimode fiber is used for distributed temperature sensing, and a pair of FBGs in each discrete sensing point, partially overlapped in the spectral domain, allows for temperature-independent discrete strain measurements. Experimental results report a dynamic strain resolution of within a full range of 1700 με and a distributed temperature resolution of 1°C at 20 km distance with 2.7 m spatial resolution.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
In a bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup Peach Melba Balsamic, 1/2 cup Arbosana EVOO, salt and pepper. Place chicken inside a sealed bag and marinate for 1 hour. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray.
After 1 hour, drain marinade and place chicken on the foil lined pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Brush with marinade and bake for another 20 minutes or until the juices run clear.
Bring a small pot to boil. Make a small cross incision at the bottom of the peaches (This is called scoring which helps in peeling the skin away from the peach). Also, get a small bowl of ice water and set aside.
Immerse the peaches in the boiling water for 2 minutes. Remove the peaches and immerse them in ice water. Once cool to the touch, remove the skin. Cut peaches in half to remove the pit and slce into wedges.
Place greens in a bowl and layer with sliced chicken, onions, raspberries and almonds. Mix together remaining Peach Melba Balsamic vinegar and Moresca EVOO along with a generous pinch of salt and pepper until well emulsified. Drizzle over salad and serve.
Tomato Basil and Feta Salad
In a large bowl, toss together the tomatoes, cucumbers, green onions and Italian Herb with Garlic EVOO. Marinate for about 2 hours in the refrigerator.
After 2 hours, toss in the feta cheese and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let stand for about 30 minutes and serve.
Avocado and Mango Salad
Beat the juice, EVOO, vinegar, water, mustard, garlic and black pepper in a medium bowl with a whisk or a fork.
Divide the lettuce among 4 salad bowls. Top with the mango and avocado slices. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette over each salad. Serve immediately.
Blue Cheese Potato Salad
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool and chop. leaving skins on.
In a large bowl, whisk together the EVOO, balsamic vinegar, green onions, salt and pepper. Add the potatoes, bacon and cheese and toss to coat.

Problem: How do post-bureaucratic organizations think about control where individual freedom and responsibility are central elements?
Purpose: The purpose with this study is to examine and analyze how a post-bureaucratic organization sees on control and how it controls the employees.
Method: The collection of data was done by semi structured interviews. The interviews covers three different levels of the organization in the operative business at Urb-it. The data was analyzed and compared with relevant theories and studies in governance in hope to full fill the purpose of the study.
Conclusion: The study shows that normative control methods are the most used at Urb-it. The management team works actively with control methods where the recruitment process is the biggest one while the employees feel free rather than controlled.

18 June 2007: Turkey is planning to award its reconnaissance military satellite GOKTURK contract, estimated at about $250 million. The procurement official said the top panel that oversees procurement decisions would likely convene after June 20 to finalize an international competition to build and launch the satellite.
"There have been major delays in fulfilling our initial ambitions," a senior procurement official familiar with space programs said. "But the launching of our first satellite will mark the beginning of a new era. There is an understanding among both government and military planners to highlight space efforts in shaping procurement policy."
Under the program, an electro-optical reconnaissance satellite with a resolution of 80 centimeters will be procured from a foreign supplier, with limited technological participation from Turkish companies. Contenders are EADS Astrium, Italy's Telespazio, Israel Aerospace Industries and Germany's OHB-system. An industry source said politics will complicate the decision.
"EADS Astrium and Telespazio both are partly French-owned, and the Turkish Armed Forces have been boycotting France over a political dispute between Ankara and Paris," the industry source said. "Going for the Israeli bidder, too, would be difficult politically at a time of general elections. Meanwhile, the only politics-free option, the German bidder, does not have proven technology in the kind of satellite Turkey wants."
The program involves the development of an electro-optical reconnaissance and surveillance satellite system for the Air Force's space-based image intelligence architecture. Here, the architecture comprises passive and active remote sensing satellite systems such as electro-optical and synthetic aperture radar systems and ground systems.

Learning Lapidary
Learning means creating a lot of things you aren't 100% happy with. It means pushing through the awkward designs and technical limitations while you get a handle on the tools and materials in front of you. Here are some of the products of the learning process: 1) A handmade chain and hand-polished ammonite and, 2) A hand-cut cabochon from the fossiliferous remains of freshwater snails (Goniobasis species) collected in Wamsutter, Wyoming and set in a trilobite-like bezel.

Cosmetic Dentistry
Have you ever wanted to change something about your smile? Or just wanted your smile to sparkle, shine and be straight? Cosmetic Dentistry fixes your smile for reasons that don't have to pertain to oral health, but can be very beneficial to your oral health. There are many different procedures that fix, and straighten teeth in different ways providing you with the smile you've always wanted.
If your teeth are fairly straight but uneven, veneers are a fantastic alternative by straightening ends to meet. Before getting any cosmetic dentistry done on certain teeth that may need fixing, it could be beneficial to whiten your teeth and then get the veneers or crowns to match the new white smile you have.
Cosmetic Dentistry uses methods to reshape, resize, and align teeth. Using methods like veneers and dental crowns, you can have the smile you've always wanted.
These are just a few of the items that can restore your smile, whether you want a brighter smile or straighter teeth. At Pacific Dental Center we can transform your smile to give you a confident and healthy smile you'll love. IV Sedation Dentistry is also available for anyone who has anxiety or a real phobia of the dentist. Visit our dentist office today to start your dental treatment plan!

acme/acme2k: A lesson in sane IDE defaults.
tux0r ・1 min read
If your IDE requires you to use the keyboard for switching between "modes" instead of just letting you type your code; if your IDE has more colors than your television; if you find yourself configuring your IDE more than once a week: your IDE is probably not the one you should use.
I have commented that I like the acme (resp. the slightly more flexible acme2k) IDE under some recent articles. Let me explain shortly why I like it. I won't waste your time by explaining the installation process here. If you are on Windows (or Debian Linux), you might be interested in my lengthy article on DonationCoder about just that, including some Plan 9 history.
What follows is a screenshot of my minimalistic acme2k setup at work. I usually use Acme's default (yellow/blue) colors instead.
As you can see, acme is not your typical IDE: No giant buttons get in your way, no wonderful colors make you think a unicorn had puked into your computer, there is no "intellisense", no "syntax highlighting" (which is a good thing), no obvious integration of compilers, linters et cetera - but in fact, you can integrate any tool, any compiler, even a shell right inside Acme.
However, two things are entirely different from Vim, Emacs, Atom, VS Code, Sublime Text or whatever "IDE" or GUI text editor you might or might not use:
There are no configuration files.
Why would you need them? As Acme can interact with everything that is "executable", you could easily write an application which interacts with everything inside the editor window. There are people who already prepared that for you.
Your advantage: You won't waste time configuring (or: misconfiguring) Acme until it fits you. You just can't.
Your disadvantage: If you don't like the defaults, Acme is not for you. (acme2k adds themes though - to be configured at compile time.)
The mouse is your command mode.
Just like
viand its spiritual successors (and, to a lesser extent, "modern" editors which have
Ctrlkey chords for their "command mode"), Acme has an "insert mode" and a "command mode". However, Acme is different in one important aspect: Anything that is not directly related to typing text into your current buffer needs to be done with the mouse, either with mouse chords or with middle-clicking the matching command in the toolbar.
FAQ: "Wouldn't that slow you down?" - No, not really. Being a productive developer, you probably spend most of the time writing new code instead of changing existing code. Even if you need to do that, clicking directly where you want to type is notably easier than instructing your cursor to go two lines up, five columns to the right and then enter the Insert mode.
Your advantage: You'll have a clear distinction between editing text and handling your buffer. The latter is done without your keyboard. (acme2k adds a couple of key bindings to make it easier for those who come from other editors though.)
Your disadvantage: You'll need to open your mind a bit. This is not like "moving from Sublime Text to Atom", this is like "moving from an IBM PC to a PlayStation". You need to forget everything you knew about using an IDE. But there is a chance that this is exactly what you needed - just because other people are fast with their keyboard-controlled IDE, that does not mean that you will be too.
I will probably reference this article in the future. I hope that anyone cares at all.
FAQ: "Wouldn't that slow you down?" - No, not really. Being a productive developer, you probably spend most of the time writing new code instead of changing existing code. Even if you need to do that, clicking directly where you want to type is notably easier than instructing your cursor to go two lines up, five columns to the right and then enter the Insert mode.
What do you mean by a productive developer? In my opinion, a productive developer actually might have to change a lot of code, more than he/she writes new blocks. And a really productive developer will remove more code than he'd write.
I read a really interesting article which claims that the more experienced you become, the more bad code you will have to fix - and the more frustrated you will get.
Now, here is the question. Can we consider a developer with little experience, who writes a lot of not-so-clean code a productive developer?
Many people do, I think. Mostly non-technical (project) managers. Those who will actually have to deal with the mess, much less.
I disagree on almost every point. The "productive developer" bit about mostly writing new code is a pipe dream. It is well understood that more time is spent reading and editing exieting code than developing new code. Also, syntax highlighting absolutely helps with code readability, but I will give you that much of the benefit comes from emphasizing keywords and de-emphasizing comments. A good syntax highligting colorscheme with a good font does wonders when you stare at text most of the day.
I do slightly agree about configurability, but from the viewpoint of a vimmer. Emacs is a great concept, but the configurability makes it almost like a custom-built editor. Vim can be the same way with some people, but the core modes and navigation/editing "language" are fairly universal. I may not be able to use custom key bindings and plugins on your vim, but at least I will be able to get the job done with the standard commands. Vim has a greater focus on providing the same interface, regardless of all the configuration.
I'm sure people can develop just fine without mastering vim/emacs, but mouse liberation has been nothing but an enhancement for me.
The "productive developer" bit about mostly writing new code is a pipe dream.
Depends on the project, I guess...
Do you really think you write code more than you read it? I suppose if you mainly work solo on projects you might do "write only" programming. I'd still think that later on in he project you would be editing more than writing brand new code from scratch. I work mostly in embedded C, so ymmv, but even when I'm doing python scripts I edit way more than I write.
I passionately disagree with the notion that syntax highlighting is a bad thing. Those who argue against it always use the worst colors as an example of why it would be bad.
A good color scheme turns comments into background information, and highlights the structure of the code — with good colors, your eyes can quickly isolate all the method names from a class, and combined with an IDE which understand the language it should identify unused imports and variables. A random color scheme is indeed not useful, but using color to signal structure and semantics is extremely useful.
I passionately disagree with the notion that syntax highlighting is a bad thing.
It was not meant like that. Personally, I made the experience that I can work without it in languages which are not JavaScript or C#, but I can also see why some people wouldn't touch an editor without syntax highlighting.
In VS Code (one of the text editors I'm using - yes, I'm definitely using too many editors...) I have a very simple theme: Comments are light grey, code is dark grey, keywords are italic.
FAQ: "Wouldn't that slow you down?" - No, not really. Being a productive developer, you probably spend most of the time writing new code instead of changing existing code.
Exactly. And this is where an IDE that understands your code and allows you to quickly navigate and detect problems comes in.
A real, living, breathing ACME user??? 😻Amazing😻. I've wanted to meet one for forever. Pretty much since I tried to run Plan 9 and Acme on my Mac through some sort of emulation / port project that I can't name now.
OK - actual question!
The mouse! The three button mouse! Do you have one? Where did you get one? If you don't have one, how do you deal with chords? And... same question but for using a laptop touchpad - does it work, can you do it?
What sort of workflow do you find yourself using? What activities are easier in Acme than in the other editors you use? Which are harder?
I'll think of more questions later on.
A real, living, breathing ACME user???
Or so they say. ;-)
The mouse! The three button mouse! Do you have one?
I have a Logitech G402 which has an acceptably clickable (and durable) scroll wheel. I admit that Acme would be worth getting that old Pilot Mouse from the store room, but I won't do that.
same question but for using a laptop touchpad - does it work, can you do it?
Ha, I can't even use laptop touchpads for anything else. They are a nuisance to me. :-)
What sort of workflow do you find yourself using?
It depends. Sometimes I use Acme (acme2k, that is) for simple note taking (or writing articles), sometimes I use it to fix and compile code.
What activities are easier in Acme than in the other editors you use? Which are harder?
Multi-language compiling is notably easier as I can just replace the command in the tag bar, so is calling any other external commands. I especially like that I can jump directly to erroneous lines. Using the terminal itself is harder than in (let's say) Emacs because the
win command is rather conservative in some ways. :-)
I know it's almost a year late, and I don't currently use acme, but I've found the Logitech T400 to be a really good three button mouse. It has four actual buttons (left, right, middle, middle-bottom), but the middle buttons are on top of an XY touch/scroll surface.
The most disappointing thing is that they decided to do some weird Super-d combo as the default middle click action (instead of an actual middle click). Fortunately, it's easy enough to remap with their official app in Windows, with Karabiner in macOS, or keymap and udev rules in Linux.
I'm pretty sure that the mouse is out of production, so if you get one and like it, buy a couple more to see you though.
If you're like me, you'll probably also want to swap scroll axis (to natural scroll).
I think ultimately this question comes down to what makes you happy as a developer. If Acme works for you great, if Atom works for you also great.
Me personally, I started coding with notepad so I like minimal bells and whistles in my IDE. But I know that doesn't work for everyone.
I am currently using six text editors on different systems for different tasks. If there was that one perfect editor, everyone would use it everywhere...
Notepad is good enough for surprisingly many things!
What was your win this week?
Got to all your meetings on time? Started a new project? Fixed a tricky bug?

KPL to unveil Bamba Sport as broadcast partner
Bamba Sport is set to replace SuperSport as the official Broadcast partner for Kenyan Premier League.
The new partnership which is understood to be in the region of Sh36million and will run for the next six months is set to be unveiled on Tuesday in Nairobi. SuperSport walked out of Kenyan football last April citing breach of contract by the league managers but Bamba Sport, which also broadcasts the lower league tier, is set to take up the mantle from the giant South African Sports channel.
Is KPL set for LIVE matches this weekend?
KPL have confirmed through a statement obtained by Goal. "You are invited to a press conference to unveil a new Kenyan Premier League 2017 Season Broadcast partner. The event will take place on Tuesday at Sarova Hotel in Nairobi."
However, Goal now understands that the deal is not part of the proposal tabled to Fifa by Football Kenya Federation seeking for funds to produce their own content after SuperSport pulled out. "That is an ongoing process and we will announce it soon," revealed FKF communication officer, Barry Otieno.
SuperSport has been KPL official Broadcast partner for the last 10 years.

The Summer That Never Was
With high Summer over, an air of despondency hangs over many of us in this part of the world.
The ability to get some good photos has been limited due to constant bad weather, with leaden skies and rain always threatening. The TV weather forecasters ears must be ringing, and of course the English too, who can blame the dour Scots for the summer that never was ? I think even the Romans realised it was best to build a wall and stay south of the border, weather was probably as bad then !
Regardless of the weather, my daily river bird feeding regime continues even with the river in spate. Our swan family always manage to get into a backwater for their share.

Travel Clinic Vaccines and Medications
Everyone loves going on holiday...but everyone hates being ill on holiday.
Whether you're planning the trip of a lifetime or a short hop abroad, don't forget the travel health essentials. Most destinations will need either the necessary vaccinations or medications (e.g. malaria tablets), all of which I fully assess and provide for the entire family.
My clinic is also a registered yellow fever vaccination centre (YFVC) so I can fulfil this and all certificate requirements.
- Yellow Fever Vaccine
- Hepatitis A and B
- Typhoid
- Diptheria, tetanus and pertussis
- Meningococcal A, C, W and Y
- Rabies
- Japanese Encephalitis B
- Anti-malaria medications
- Antibiotics, anti-sickness medications and other essentials in case of illness whilst away

Friends, I swear this will be my last post on Seattle. Well...until I visit my favorite U.S. city again, that is. With only 4 days in the Pacific Northwest, I successfully packed in a wealth of memorable adventures, learning experiences, and most importantly, eating excursions. In all seriousness though, I ate and ate...and ate until I was sick. Coming back from the educational and recreational getaway, my stomach was churning and pleading with me for a break from overindulging. While I may have put my body through turmoil thanks to my irresponsible binging, I must say...it was all totally worth it.
As an attendee at Foodista's International Food Blogger's conference, I was mentally prepped for a temporary five-pound weight gain. There was just no getting around it. Looking through the conference's schedule, I was salivating as I read about the various wine tastings, local cuisine receptions, and secret restaurant outings. The conference alone was enough to please even the most die-hard foodies. But because I've never been the most studious of students, I made a vow to leave the conference quarters and explore the city that I so much admire. And by "explore," I mean restaurant hop, of course.
Let's begin with my first evening in town. Along with friends and fellow bloggers, Megan and Tracy, I ventured off to a restaurant I had so badly wanted to visit the last time I was in Seattle. Poppy is an eclectic, yet refined eatery that sits in the quaint neighborhood of Capitol Hill. Presenting a new and fun style of eating, they present guests with "thali," a platter containing numerous diverse miniature dishes. Not only an edible spectacle to admire, Poppy's thalis show off local and seasonal ingredients chosen by the brain wonder behind the restaurant , chef and owner, Jerry Traunfeld.

Before we caught sight of our delightful thalis, we took our server's sincere recommendation for the eggplant fries. Normally one who despises the mushy purple veggie, I found Poppy's Sea Salt and Honey drizzled Eggplant fries absolutely delectable. After we quickly scarfed down the sweet and savory fried goods, we were introduced to our thalis. An Indian way of enjoying food, thalis offer tons of tastes, all on one tiered dish - a perfect situation for foodies like me. An array of aromatic soups, chutneys, roasted vegetables, naan bread, and more, I was completely beside myself in my own little Thali dreamland. No gimmick, this is a really cool Indian cuisine concept.
If you're one who enjoys good food, and you've been to Seattle even once before, then you've certainly heard of the culinary genius, Tom Douglas. Chef, restaurateur, and James Beard Award winner, the guy has popular restaurants all over town. And while we wanted to walk through the doors of all 14 eateries, we settled on two, knowing full well we'd be back to conquer more of his amazingly scrumptious menus in the future. Since a seafood feast in Seattle was an obvious must, we chose Etta's for a late lunch/early dinner on day two of the trip.
Arriving just in time for their solid steal of a happy hour, we sat down to a menu of oysters, Dungeness crab spread, salad, and more. Without any hesitation, we opted for the crab spread and a plate of oysters to commence our first ever Tom Douglas experience. The freshest and most flavorful oysters, I didn't even blink an eye at the lemon or hot sauce. These beauties needed no dressing up at all. Between slurps of oysters, I found the Dungeness crab spread on a whole other level from any seafood spread I've ever enjoyed. Loaded with humongous pieces of crab, it was full of an irresistibly rich, seafood flavor.
For our main courses, Megan went with a cheeseburger. Yep, that's right. Upon hearing that she'd be visiting the rainy city, an old boss assured her that it'd be one of the very best burgers she would ever eat. Indeed it was. Two juicy Washington beef patties came smothered in their special malt sauce along with smoked jack from the famous Beecher's Cheese shop just down the street. Luckily for me, Megan allowed me two bites. Two big, glorious, bites.
Realizing I had already been quite the gluttonous queen, I ordered the Dungeness Crab Salad. This was no ordinary salad, people. Butter lettuce was topped with a generous mound of crab along with tons of creamy avocado wedges, tangy grapefruit, and all tossed in a Nuoc champagne dressing. Words simply can't describe this healthy offering. It'd make a believer out of any salad-hating, carnivorous man.
For our next Tom Douglas outing, we decided on his beloved pizza place, Serious Pie. These pizzas were in fact, serious. Playful ingredients decorate blistered crusts from an applewood burning oven, creating one of a kind pies for every kind of pizza-loving palate. Megan's classic red sauced, buffalo mozzarella, and fresh basil topped pie was as pretty as it was tasty. But no pizza on earth could hold a candle to my chanterelle mushroom and truffle cheese creation. So ridiculously luscious, the heavenly truffle and shroom combo could cure a broken heart.
You probably know that Seattle is known for its crazy good seafood. However, you may not know that the city is also a mecca for Asian cuisine. There are noodle houses everywhere in sight. In fact, if you were to listen closely enough on the streets of Capitol Hill, you may hear the sweet sounds of slurping from one of the many soup kitchens. Noodleheads everywhere. Since Ramen is almost non existent in Tampa, we agreed to head straight to a Japanese noodle spot. Friends, I had been anxiously awaiting the Ramen since our initial arrival in Seattle. When it was finally time to indulge on carbs and broth galore, I was overwhelmed with the various Ramen options. Then I saw it. Tonkotsu From Hell (Spicy Pork broth). Leave it to me to order the spiciest item on the menu. Boasting tons of chewy noodles, a soft boiled egg, green onions, bamboo shoots, tender pork, and a vibrant red spicy broth, I was in la-la noodle land with each and every bite. Megan ordered the Garlic Shouyu which was equally as delectable.
On our very last night in Seattle, we were privilege to one incredibly generous gesture from one of my favorite food companies, Urbanspoon. They set up intimate dining experiences all over the city at some of the newest, most critically-acclaimed spots. Organized at complete random, 10-15 IFBC attendees were grouped together and granted an extra special restaurant invitation. Originally, I was "assigned" to a secret restaurant in the Belltown neighborhood. However, with a little finagling and thanks to our friend Jen, Megan and I were able to go together to the secret location in Capitol Hill.
Where'd we end up? Mamnoon- a dark and romantic date-night hot spot offering Middle Eastern cuisine. From Mahar- a dish of manila clams, pepper paste, basterma, pine nuts, and cilantro to arnabeit makli (fried cauliflower with tarrator) to Kefta- made with minced lamb, onion, pistachio, and baharat, we were getting schooled and wooed in the name of tasty Persian fare.
My four-day adventure in Seattle was definitely an indulgent one. Please don't judge my overeating sin. It doesn't happen very often. Truth be told, I didn't so mind the slight interruption in my healthy lifestyle. Gallivanting around town, we experienced some of the best cuisine the city has to offer. Aside from the numerous restaurant visits, we were also wined and dined at the conference itself. Yeah, I'd say it's fair to say that my trip was yummy indeed. Feel free to check out some more drool-worthy dishes from the weekend with the photos below..

Read on if you're a stationary addict because I have a few oh so LOVELY pieces from the stylish personalised stationary brand Papier to share with you. A slight deviation from the interiors world but I look at accessories like this as just another style outlet….and ones that will look fabulous lying around in your home.
I'm literally not joking when I say I've been a mega fan of Papier pretty much since day one. And particularly ever since mega dude Luke Edward Hall joined the growing list of cool artists and illustrators to design for their collections (which include lovely notepads, stationary sets, cards and invitations), the latest being a collaboration with Henry Holland.
I'm also entering into a phase of rebelling against my terrible habit of sending important thanks to friends via text and email….ewwwww….and instead taking pen to paper and sending little thank you notes in the post which is far more special. It's just finding something nice enough to write on which has been the challenge….until now. When Papier got in touch about a collaboration, I literally jumped at the chance and I thought I would run through the pieces they've very kindly sent.
First off, I always have a million ideas, images and words that suddenly appear in my head but all too often get forgotten five minutes later. The iPhone takes care of the pictures I want to save but for brain waves, lightbulb moments and general thoughts and musings that might come in handy at a later date, I have gotten into the habit of writing them down in my aptly titled "Anna's Notes & Musings" book. I chose the gorgeous marble effect plain notebook from the MARBLE collection which is just so pretty!
This was the best thing I took on a recent trip to Spain, my beautiful notebook dedicated to watercolour doodling and pattern experimenting. I did a little pattern each day and now have a lovely record of the week in the form of this special book. I picked this very simple pink and white design which is from the DEMI collection.
Always a good one to have in the artists repetoir of tools, a little sketchbook for anything I need to well, sketch or scribble….this came in particularly handy for a recent colour mood board I did for a client and had to craft out a room layout! This is the pretty HOWIE collection featuring these cute pineapple motifs!
Ah now this is a little gem of a stationary item. I asked Papier to send me a book titled "Book of Contacts" and it has so far come in ridiculously handy. I save many an instagram picture in my Instagram collections but often forget all about them and they disappear into a digital abyss along with my 15,000 photos on the camera roll! I had the idea to create an actual hand written log of contacts, potential brands I want to work with and the details of people I meet at events and meetings etc. I have them organised in different categories and can effortlessly flick through and find who I'm looking for.
OK this is a big one. I've often received handwritten notecards which have been personalised with the name of the sender and been so envious of people who actually get around to organising this sort of stuff. I've been meaning to find the perfect family stationary for AGES and so I was absolutely delighted with this pretty and sophisticated design from the FRIEZE collection.
I am also equally chuffed to have some pretty notecards to send out to customers after they've placed an order and the BRETON design works perfectly with my branded House Anna stickers and postcards….I can also send these out by themselves to business contacts which is super handy as a more relaxed alternative to headed paper. YAY!
I hope you love these pieces as much as I do and this has in some way inspired you to take up using paper products as an alternative to our digital devises.
Papier very kindly gifted these to me and I have been more than happy to shout from the rooftops about how amazing their designs are…the quality is also superb and most importantly all of their products are made from Mohawk paper which is made with non-polluting and wind generated energy.
For the full Papier collection head HERE and have a read of their accompanying journal, The Fold HERE.
Till next time,
Anna X

7 Best Ways To Satisfy and Delight Your Customers7:13 PM

Creating a customer-centric culture is a must for any business. Caring for customers has never been more important. Today, a disgruntled customer has the ability to share their opinions on social networks or the internet and adversely affect our business.
Many companies are failing to provide the right experience. Creating a satisfactory experience for our clients, through cultivating and helping to develop a relationship with our business, is a not inconsiderable opportunity. Creating these types of relationships can help positive opinions have wider reach and diffusion.
If all customer contact points are counted - from support or support interactions, in-person conversations, social networking, or even sales - an average company has thousands of interactions with its customers each year. For business, each point of contact is an opportunity to know and understand customers better. A satisfied customer community can become the best defense of our brand.
To satisfy our clients we should:
1. Create closenessDo not act like a business without name or face. He speaks to customers as a person on behalf of the company. Address your customers by name, give their name to the beginning of any interaction. Talk to your clients as you would in person, not as you would in a press release. Especially when it comes to the service of care through social networks where these types of responses are the opposite of the "social." In social networks and in your emails, the answers should be signed by the employee with whom your clients can contact (if you can add a photo, the better).
2. Respect the customersIt is necessary to understand the mood of a client when trying to solve a problem that has with our company. Keeping patience and responding in a calm way is the best way for your customers to get their problem solved and an opportunity to address it. Also, you'll be creating the climate necessary for your clients to feel comfortable and share valuable information to address that problem or prevent similar problems from occurring in the future.
Customers who receive an "incorrect" customer service usually talk to their friends in most cases.
3. Listen to customersAt a time when it's easy to have a bidirectional dialogue with their clients, it's important to actually listen. And that will probably imply that your company should change from those comments. Are you willing? Customers are the sole reason for being in any business and not worrying about what they can turn out to be disastrous.
There are different places to listen and get feedback from customers:
- The polls
- Social networks
- The points of sale
- Customer service departments
- Communities and/or groups
- The e-mails. Etc.
4. Offer supportThe first reason for the loss of customers is dissatisfaction with customer service. Customer satisfaction is a differentiating aspect on many occasions. Doing everything possible to provide excellent service on a permanent basis is a competitive advantage. Do you agree?. There is no reason to delay the satisfaction of our customers.
In addition to providing live support, creating consulting materials - so that the clients can solve their problems - or spaces where other clients can express their experiences and knowledge, you will be building the satisfaction of its clients in the long term.

5. Treat the client as a collaboratorHow is your listening if you do not intend to act on the information you collect? Analyzing the opinions and comments of our customers in earnest and acting on reasonable requests means that you will act. Do you want that feedback and really value your customers as partners?

6. Build trust: accountability and transparencyHow many positive experiences do you need to counter a negative experience? Customers affected by both positive and negative changes to our products or services must be kept informed. You have to bear in mind that consumers are sensitive to change because they are accustomed to what they already have. Investigate whether changes can affect the perception of clients. Encourage assessments of the changes you make, they will be an invaluable source of information.
To build the trust of your customers you must be responsible and transparent. And this implies accepting the feedback they offer you, having nothing to hide and acknowledging that you make mistakes.
Tell your customers the changes, if you've done a mistake or did something well. The secret is to offer a healthy mix for them to recognize your transparency and gain their trust.

7. Fulfill the promisesIf you follow your promises, you help to show the transparency of your business, while contributing to creating a feeling of trust and reliability. You must manage the expectations of your clients to ensure that they set realistic goals and you can meet them.
Finally, two more simple tips.Defines how to treat dissatisfied customers, establishes the steps to follow to ensure that the process described by all employees is followed. The ideal would be to turn unhappy customers into your strongest advocates.
And not least, I always say "Thank you."

Cade graduated from his first year of Preschool Wednesday, May 23rd. We are so proud of him! At times, well...most days, he was really hard to get out the door and to preschool. He pitched fits about having to get dressed, put on shoes, eat breakfast or whatever else came in the way just b/c he said he didn't want to go to preschool. But every day he went he came home excited about something he learned and did. He always had a great time and completely loved his teachers. In fact, if you've ever been to the Legacy Center than you've seen all the pictures of past Miss Lehi's and he was certain those were pictures of his teachers :)
He was so excited!
Getting ready to sing. He did a great job singing, at times I could even hear him over the rest of the kids.
Connor was not sitting unless he was up close and had a clear view of Cade.
This was the best I could get out of him, but he looks cute anyways. He got a diploma and a gift bag of treats and goodies.
Look at that cute smile!
Afterward he gave his gifts to his teachers and took a picture w/ them. (Miss Heidi, Miss Mackinzie & Miss Sherry.)
I found these cute Thank You tags from Pinterest and tied them onto bags filled w/ flower earrings I made. The boys (yes even Connor) were very excited to give them to the teachers.
Congrats Cade!!! I can't believe he only has one more year of preschool and then he starts Kindergarten! These boys are growing up so fast.

PORT is a community organization formed by citizens of the Town of St. George, Maine ("St. George"). Maine Aqua Ventus ("MAV") has approached St. George regarding the possibility of landing the cables for its floating wind turbine pilot project ("Project") in St. George. PORT was founded to represent the interests of the St. George coastal community with respect to the impacts of the Project on its landscape, character and quality of life, as well as on the fishing community that is vital to the regional economy. In reviewing comments already filed in response to the January 24 Order, PORT sees that many comments supporting the Project have been filed by persons located in other states, and from as far away as Australia. PORT believes that it is important that the Commission hear the views of Maine coastal communities, and particularly those (such as St. George) that may be directly affected, regarding the impacts of the Project.
The Commission's January 24 Order requests comments on whether the Commission should reconsider orders issued in 2014 in which it approved a term sheet for a long-term power purchase agreement for the Project ("Term Sheet") pursuant to the Ocean Energy Act ("Act"). The January 24 Order notes that there have been developments since 2014 that may warrant reconsideration of the Commission's approval of the Term Sheet. The Commission has identified a series of specific issues upon which it seeks public comment. In this context, PORT recognizes that under the Act, the Commission lacks authority over environmental impact and siting issues associated with the Project. However, in determining whether to reconsider its approval of the Term Sheet, the Commission should be cognizant of the impacts the Project would inevitably have upon the existing industries, environment, and culture and history of Maine's unique coastal communities, and should weigh those impacts in the balance when considering whether the Term Sheet as originally approval is truly beneficial to all affected interests, including consumers and the communities that would experience the direct adverse impacts of large floating offshore wind turbines with the associated landing infrastructure.
PORT's comments below address specific matters under the headings stated by the Commission.
C. Renewable Energy Goals
As the Commission notes (January 24 Order at 4), one of the purposes of the Act was to harness the potential for offshore wind energy resources to meet Maine's renewable energy goals. PORT agrees with the Commission that Maine has been very successful in developing renewable energy resources, to the point where Maine's existing renewable resources exceed the state's renewable energy goals. Indeed, Maine has become a leader in this area.
As a result, PORT does not believe that Maine electricity consumers, who already experience relatively high energy costs, should be called upon to subsidize an experimental project that is not necessary to meet the state's renewable energy goals. Nor should Maine's coastal communities be subjected to the adverse impacts that inevitably would flow from the presence of floating wind turbines and the associated infrastructure necessary to bring electricity onshore. To the extent that Maine seeks to pioneer in the development of alternative energy technologies, it should look to new and innovative technologies that will not cause harm to existing communities and industries.
D. Tangible Economic Benefits and Commitment to Manufacturing Facility
In considering whether the Project and the associated Term Sheet will present the opportunity for Maine to achieve tangible economic benefits, PORT urges the Commission to bear in mind that if the Project comes to pass, it will inevitably produce adverse impacts on the individual coastal communities near the ultimate project site. These impacts will include damage to the landscape, environment, character, and quality of life of these communities. More specifically, long-standing fishing communities that have been a vital part of the state's economy will be devastated due to loss of fishing grounds. In addition, there will be a significant loss of tourism dollars: the landscape will be less attractive and there will be diminished birding opportunities due to the effect of the Project infrastructure on migratory birds. Any benefits calculation should be a net benefits calculation that factors in the tangible detriments resulting from the Project.
In addition, as the Commission notes (January 24 Order at 5), other states on the East Coast have established offshore wind programs and are seeking to locate manufacturing facilities in their states. See "'Made in the U.S.A.' Turbines Complicate U.S. Offshore Wind Plan,"
Bloomberg News (Feb. 14, 2018) (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-14/-made- in-the-u-s-a-turbines-complicate-u-s-offshore-wind-plan, last accessed Feb. 21, 2018). This makes it increasingly unlikely that Maine will become a regional center for wind energy manufacturing, one of the goals of the Act. At a minimum, the Commission should take this into consideration when determining the economic benefits that can be expected to flow from the Project. The Commission should also consider that increasing the overall cost of electricity to Maine consumers by subsidizing the Project as contemplated by the Term Sheet may very well discourage other manufacturing from locating or expanding in the state.
E. Project Specific Circumstances 2. Interconnection Location
As the Commission notes (January 24 Order at 6), at the time the Term Sheet was approved it was anticipated that the Project would be interconnected with the electric grid at the Town of Bristol. MAV subsequently abandoned that proposed interconnection site. MAV has since approached St. George about the possibility of interconnecting there, but PORT is opposing any such proposed landing, and as the Commission notes, the interconnection location is still unsettled.
PORT believes that it is vitally important that "persons with an interest in the ultimate interconnection location have an opportunity to comment on the project[.]" (Id.) As explained above, if the Project ultimately is constructed, it will inevitably produce at least some adverse impacts on the affected coastal communities. The Commission cannot and should not blind itself to these impacts, and if the Commission is to take these impacts into account in its determination of tangible economic benefits – as PORT believes it must – this can only be done if MAV has identified an interconnection/landing site. Until an interconnection site has been selected and affected persons have had the opportunity to comment, the Commission should not grant its blessing to the Term Sheet.
PORT appreciates the opportunity to provide comments and to participate in this process.

Eighty-six Quake-damaged Tibetan Monasteries in NW China Under Restoration
updated: 2011-10-20
Xinhua, October 17, 2011
Construction workers have started rebuilding 86 Tibetan monasteries damaged in last year's 7.1-magnitude earthquake that leveled the plateau county of Yushu in northwest China, local authorities revealed Saturday.
Officials of Yushu Tibet Autonomous Prefecture (in QInghai Province) said the reconstruction of the worst-hit Trangu monastery is expected to be completed in November. The 700-year-old famed Trangu housed 3,000 Buddha busts and tens of thousands of Buddhism scripts.
Eighty-seven monasteries were damaged, ten of which were reduced to rubble, after the devastating earthquake which struck Yushu on April 14, 2010, killing nearly 2,700 people in the predominantly Tibetan region with a population of 350,000.

Large GRC H-Planters
Satu Bumi's CityScape range of GRC H-Planters has been specifically engineered for balconies
where space is tight, weight is an issue and the option of built-in drainage plumbing is appealing.
These long-life and robust planters are water, fire and UV resistant making them an excellent option
for apartment, office and hotel balconies.
This range of 1000 mm high H-Planters is available in two standard depth sizes of 500 mm and
600 mm in conjunction with a selection of matching lengths. However, variations to these standard
sizes can also be manufactured upon request.
The 500 and 600 series H-Planters have the following key attributes:
a standard 1000 mm height for compliance with building regulations for balconies
a narrow depth profile so they don't take up a lot of valuable space on balconies
standard dimensions to enable them to be easily mixed and matched
a clever "H" design that reduces the amount or planting material required to fill them
a convenient hollow bottom for hiding irrigation and drainage plumbing
thicker lower section walls to compensate for the weight of planting material used in the top half of the planter.

This is a preparatory drawing for an altarpiece that Giovanni de' Vecchi painted in 1596 for the church of Santa Prassede in Rome. He used pen and purplish watercolor to render the forms of the dead Christ surrounded by Saint John the Apostle, Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea, the grief-stricken Virgin Mary, Saint Mary Magdalene (at Christ's feet), and their companions, who adoringly convey his body to the tomb in the upper left.

Kausalainen-Paszkowski (Powered by CambPlants Hub)
The artworks exhibited are based on the exchange between Dr Uta Paszkowski & the artist Essi Kausalainen. They explore the body of mycorrhiza, the idea of a respective & caring coexistence. They invite the audience to observe, to wonder & ask questions, and enjoy the sensuality and the joy of this process in the surroundings of the Scholars' Garden.
The idea of Truth is both seductive and dangerous. It is dangerous when considered as a fixed monument, as a static, unquestionable entity. But when approached as an open ended process, as an active practice of questioning Truth -and the desire for truth- can fuel wondrous things. It can form the basis for scientific as well as artistic endeavors amongst others. Opening an endless flow of questions it fertilizes our curiosity and gives us courage to step into the unknown terrains.
The exchange between scientist Dr. Paszkowski and artist Kausalainen rises out of their shared interest in mycorrhizal symbiosis, and from their passionate practices of figuring out the world. Operating on very different vocabulary and scale, both of them seek for knowledge on our being as part of the ecosystem of bodies, things and thoughts. Like mycorrhiza, this dialogue grows out of the difference between the two. When looking for truth, when trying to see things clearly, we need multiple voices. We need dialogue and surprising questions. We need curiosity and openness towards the other ways of being and doing.
The artworks exhibited explore the body of mycorrhiza, the idea of a respective and caring coexistence: a dialogue in which bodies of different shape and scale extend their being and understanding of the world with the help of the other. Based on the scientific facts the outcome is a series of playful and somewhat ambiguous artworks: We hear an audio of two melodies creating harmonies, we see a pdf presentation on a laptop screen where letters appear one by one growing into words, into meanings, and then disappearing. Instead of building traditional narratives or offering answers, these works set themselves into the logic of an ecosystem. By doing this they invite the audience to observe, to wonder and ask questions, and to enjoy the sensuality and the joy of this process in the surroundings of St John's Garden.
LOVERS – an exchange between Uta Paszkowski and artist Essi Kausalainen.

Mariners three free agents now just waiting for offers
It wasn't unexpected that on the first day they could, Mariners Raul Ibanez, Willie Bloomquist and Miguel Cairo filed for free agency.
Why wait?
Now, all three can begin fielding offers, although for the next two weeks only their team of origin - Seattle - can actually offer a contract.
Ibanez and Cairo couldn't be reached Friday, and Raul's telephone mailbox was so full it couldn't accept another message.
Bloomquist, however, chatted about the process of free agency, comparing it to his high school days, waiting for scholarship offers.
You can read more about the three free agents and see what Willie had to say in a story here.
As for the Mariners, the new GM and his staff are already huddling in Southern Califonia, where the GM meetings begin on Monday.
Just who they'll pursue among their own free agents is a question Jack Zduriencik isn't yet prepared to discuss.
