Validation and Integration of Manufacturing Enablers for Future Wing Structures (VIEWS)
In April 2014, thirteen partners came together to work on a £30 million ATI-funded project. The two-year VIEWS project (Validation and Integration of Manufacturing Enablers for Future Wing Structures) aimed at reducing the cost of wing manufacture and assembly by 20% and process time by 80%. The project will help enhance competitiveness, safeguard jobs, and increase the attractiveness of the UK for future aircraft structures manufacture.
The VIEWS team is led by GKN Aerospace, with three other top tier industrial partners: Bombardier Aerostructures and Engineering Services (Belfast), Spirit AeroSystems and GE Aviation. To exploit the UK's wealth of innovation and knowledge, the team also includes five High Value Manufacturing Catapult network and four leading UK universities.
It is a diverse programme progressing over 100 separate technology strands. The programme has now finished, and has produced test demonstrators of key technologies."VIEWS is a unique consortium – the industrial partners are competitors in many areas, but have directly collaborated to develop technologies with substantial potential impact," explained David Mouatt, Programme Manager. "There is a realisation that we must avoid duplicate effort, and that collaboration can bring in additional knowledge."Download the Validation and Integration of Manufacturing Enablers for Future Wing Structures (VIEWS) case study

Stuffed Delicata Squash Boats
Fall has finally decided to show its face in Northeast Ohio! After a 90 degree week in September, and some high 70s-low 80 degree days thrown in since, the cool weather has arrived, and I am more than thrilled. I live for cooler weather, I really don't fare well in the summer months. With the turn to cooler weather, Mother Nature brings in the hearty produce. Pumpkins, winter squash, kale, Brussels sprouts, and beets just to name a few.
I would like to shine a spotlight on a lesser known squash, the Delicata. This delicious little number is popping back up at the farmers market the deeper we get into fall. They have charming little stripes, and best of all, there is no need to peel the skin off! Savory herbs are dominating the markets, and this makes for a match made in heaven for all fall and winter produce. I love to buy these in large amount and dry them for use throughout the winter when fresh, local produce is scarce. Our local farmers market has a vendor that makes some killer chicken sausages, an essential part to this dish.
So pull on those sweaters and fuzzy socks that have been packed away all summer, crank up that oven you've been avoiding the entire hot summer, ready your knives and dig in to this savory fall dish.
What you need...
- 2 medium delicata squashes (about 10 oz), cut in half, seeds removed
- 1/2 cup (2.25 oz) diced apples
- 3/4 cup (2.5 oz) diced poblano peppers
- 1/4 cup (1-5/8oz) diced onion
- 2 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup (1 oz) chopped pistachios or pecans
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 oz chicken sausage (a maple or apple flavor is the best)
- 3 springs of thyme
- 1 tablespoon low fat butter
- Spray oil
- Preheat the oven to 450 degree Fahrenheit. Place the delicata squash halves on a line baking sheet, pan and squash lightly sprayed with oil. Liberally salt and pepper. Roast for 30 minutes.
- While the squash roasts, remove the the sausage from the casings. In a non-stick pan, cook the sausage and crumble is while it cooks.
- Once the chicken is nicely browned, remove from the pan and set aside. Melt the butter, and lightly sautee the apples, peppers, onion and garlic until they start to soften. Turn off the heat, mix in the sausage, pistachios/pecans and honey. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the squash timer goes off, take them out of the oven and carefully fill the boats with the sausage mixture. Sprinkle the leaves from the thyme on top.
- Return to the oven and continue to bake for another 15 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Once done, remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes until it's cool enough to dive on in and eat.
Serves 2 to 4 people, makes 4 boats total.
Macros per one boat: 7g fat, 28g carbohydrates, 6g protein, 199 Calories. (These are approximate and can vary due to preparation type and other factors)

Star Citizen: The ultimate mining guide
Where are the best spots for mining? Which resources are the most profitable? Our tips & tricks for mining will help you.
The german version of this guide can be found behind the link.
Die deutsche Version dieses Guides findet ihr im verlinkten Artikel.
In this article we answer the following questions:
- How do I handle the mining spaceship MISC Prospector perfectly?
- How can I distinguish good from bad resource deposits?
- Which materials are particularly worthwhile?
- What do I need to keep in mind when extracting resources?
- How does asteroid mining work?
- Which spots in the universe are particularly lucrative?
- What will the future of the mining profession be like in Star Citizen?
- Which production chains should be possible in Star Citizen?
In order to have complete production chains in a player-driven economy in Star Citizen at some point in the future, a lot of basic work is still needed. That means in plain language: Professions, which cover different branches of industry such as raw material extraction and logistics. The foundations for logistics have already been laid since Update 3.0.
With ships like the Freelancer or the Caterpillar we load the freight rooms at trading kiosks and ship our goods to another place in the persistent universe, where we hope to achieve a sufficiently high price in order not only to recoup purchasing and transport costs (fuel and possibly also ammunition and repair costs), but also to make a decent profit.
Mining is the first rather "active" profession in the game since Update 3.2. Mining in Star Citizen requires not only a suitable spaceship, but also a great deal of skill and sensitivity. Meanwhile Update 3.4 has been released and mining was expanded with asteroid mining and new resources. There are also new moons and asteroid belts where we can search for resources. We will introduce you to mining in detail and show you which tips and tricks will make you a professional miner. We will also explain what is planned for mining in Star Citizen in the future and what an extensive production chains could look like in Star Citizen in the (somewhat more distant) future. Read more about what is planned for Star Citizen in our roadmap article.
If you don't feel like details, here is a short summary for you.
Attention: Star Citizen is still in its alpha phase. Changes are normal with every patch. Therefore, data in this guide may sometimes differ from practice. We try to incorporate changes immediately and keep the guide up to date at all times, but if you notice significant differences, please let us know in the comments.

- 2 Mining and Performance
- 3 Guide to Mining
- 4 Search for resources
- 5 Where can I find the best mining locations / mining spots?
- 6 Which raw materials are particularly valuable and which prices are achieved?
- 7 Alignment of the spaceship before mining

- 10 Where can I sell raw materials?
- 11 The future of mining in Star Citizen
- 12 Mining-Plattform Orion: From miner to industrial magnate
- 13 Production chains in Star Citizen: The road ahead
TL;DR: How do I get rich quickly with mining?
- You don't get rich quickly with mining, but you get rich constantly. How much you earn depends on chance, but also on your skill. And this is how it works:
- Buy yourself a MISC Prospector (real money or in-game in Lorville / Levski)
- Fly to a moon or into an asteroid field
- Short distance, medium profit: Levski (Delamar) –> Asteroid fields
- Medium range, medium to large profit: Port Olisar –> Cellin, Daymar
- Long distance, medium to large profit: Lorville (Hurston) –> Aberdeen, Arial
- Scan for mineable rocks (TAB key)
- In Mining mode (key "M") mainly extract Taranite, Bexalite, Borase, Laranite, Agricium and Hephaestanite. Leave Corundum, Quartz and Aluminium behind, everything else will only be mined if the content is at least 5 – 10 or more percent
- Extract only those pieces of rock that have a good mass-resource ratio
Mining and Performance
Star Citizen is still in the alpha phase, but Update 3.4 now lets us play very well and most of the time smoothly. Regular framerate drops are history: Performance and stability have been improved considerably, as our performance guide shows. So if you don't catch a server with hiccups or run into bugs, you can already have a lot of fun with the mining profession.
Guide to Mining
Which spaceships can be used for mining in Star Citizen?
- Currently we are only able to mine resources with the MISC Prospector. The mining platform Orion will be introduced later.
The spaceship: MISC Prospector
To be able to mine, you must own the appropriate spaceship. Currently there is only one ship that can mine: the Prospector. We present this single-seater industrial ship in detail in the linked article.
The Prospector can currently be purchased for 185 $ on the official website of developer Cloud Imperium Games (CIG). If, on the other hand, you bought the concept of the recycling ship Vulture some time ago, you will receive a Prospector on loan until the Drake ship is completed and published.
But you can also earn it in the game: In Lorville and Levski the Prospector is for sale for 1.620.750 aUEC.
Search for resources
How and where can I find mineable rocks / resources?
- With the scan mechanism we find resources on moon surfaces or in asteroid belts.
Surface scan
In Star Citizen's Alpha 3.4 we find resources in rocks on moons or asteroids. So we fly with the prospector to a moon (or an asteroid belt), for example Arial (in orbit of the planet Hurston). Once we reach the surface, we switch to scanning mode with the TAB-button. Keep the left mouse button pressed to fully charge the scan and release the button to trigger the ping.
In contrast to the introduction of mining last year, resource rocks are now much harder to find. Therefore, after a scan, you will often first be shown only an area where resources may be located. Potential mining resources are displayed by large cuboid grids as in the screenshot above.
Fly into such an area and repeat the scan to find resource deposits. Use the "C" and "V" buttons to change the scan radius to 2x or even 4x. This reduces the radius, but increases the accuracy and displays more resource deposits.You can also visually search for mineable rocks, as they have their own texture and often the same shape as the following image shows.
Note: When mining asteroids there is no mining area shown, only the mineable asteroids within the scan radius.
Fly towards the marked rocks and align ship and target cursor to the rock to perform a depth scan.
Depth scan
Usually a resource deposit can be examined by scanning, but this does not always work reliably at the moment. The depth scan often doesn't start until you're very close or have switched to mining mode (Button "M"). The following data will be obtained:
On the top right of the mining interface of the Prospector you will find the mass of the rock. The higher the mass, the more energy you need to crack the rock.
For the most part, the rocks consist of so-called "inert materials", i.e. worthless components of the stone (rock, dust, etc.). We also find more valuable materials such as Bexalite, Agricium or Gold. The composition is presented to us below the mass display of the rock. The material quantity is given as a percentage.
The instability of the rock is displayed to the left below the energy transfer graph. The higher the instability, the faster the rock tends to overload and explode uncontrollably.
The resistance of a rock (the value is displayed in the user interface below the instability value) indicates how hard it is for our mining laser to crack it. The closer the value aproaches 1, the more resistant the stone is and the more difficult will the injection of energy be.
Where can I find the best mining locations / mining spots?
- There are no best spots per se. Short distances can be found with asteroid mining above Delamar. Potentially very profitable mining spots with medium distances are Cellin, Daymar, Aberdeen and Arial. We recommend Yela only with escort because of the pirates and the outlaw station GrimHex.
In the past, profitable deposits could be found near mining outposts. Meanwhile, the deposits are much more widespread. There are theories that the spawn rate of valuable materials such as Agricium depends on the subsurface (for example, Agricium on Yela is said to occur more frequently on snow, i.e. white subsurface), but we have not been able to verify that so far. We can only say with confidence that it is a matter of chance which resources occur in which quantities. You can't avoid a proper search.
However, some resources only appear in certain areas. The following list will tell you where to expect which resources.
|The gas giant can currently not be explored
|Aluminium, Beryl, Bexalite, Corundum, Gold, Hephaestanite, Titanium
|Agricium, Beryl, Copper, Corundum, Diamond, Gold, Quartz, Taranite, Titanium, Tungsten
|Aluminium, Agricium, Beryl, Corundum, Diamond, Laranite, Tungsten
|Aluminium, Borase, Copper, Corundum, Diamond, Gold, Laranite, Titanium, Tungsten
|Mining is not possible on the planetoid itself
|Asteroid fields
|Aluminium, Borase, Copper, Corundum, Diamond, Gold, Laranite, Titanium, Tungsten
|Mining is currently not possible on the planet
|Beryl, Bexalite, Corundum, Diamond, Hephaestanite, Gold, Titanium
|Bexalite, Hephaestanite, Quartz
|Agricium, Aluminium, Beryl, Copper, Diamond, Gold, Quartz, Titanium, Tungsten
|Agricium, Aluminium, Beryl, Diamond, Tungsten
|Aluminium, Borase, Copper, Corundum, Diamond, Gold, Laranite, Titanium, Tungsten
Which raw materials are particularly valuable and which prices are achieved?
- Currently Taranite, Bexalite, Borase, Laranite, Agricium and Hephaestanite bring the most money.
If you always immediately attack the first resource depot with your mining laser, you will soon find that you are wasting a lot of time for extremely little money. Therefore it is good to know which deposits contain which materials and which resources generate the most credits.
Note: This list does not claim to be complete. If you have further information on minerals and deposits, please let us know in the comments. The list is sorted by the most valuable resources currently available. The percentage recommendations are indicative.
Last updated: January 2019
|Felsic, Obsidian
|Asteroid (E-Type)
|Gneiss, Granite, Shale
|Felsic, Obsidian
|Asteroid (P-Type), Igneous, Shale
|Gneiss, Granite, Quartzite
|Asteroid (E-Type), Igneous, Quartzite, Shale
|Asteroid (E-Type), Igneous
|Asteroid (M-Type), Granite, Igneous
|Asteroid (E-/M-Type), Granite, Obsidian
|Felsic, Quartzite
|Asteroid (P-/M-Type), Shale
|Inert Material
Now you can quickly preselect the deposits or resources you want to mine, which saves you a lot of time.
When should I mine one of the above resources?
Dark green = Always
Light green = at least 5 percent
Orange = at least 10 percent
Red = at least 25 percent
What should I pay attention to when it comes to resources?
- The higher the percentage of the resource, the better.
If you take a closer look at a deposit, pay particular attention to the percentages. The higher the percentage, the more profit! For example, an 18% quartz deposit is more lucrative than a 0.4% diamond deposit. However, one percent Laranite is worth more than 18 percent Quartz.
Take your time to find a lucrative resource depot. You will ultimately save time and earn more money. Beyond that you can remember as a rule of thumb: The further back the green area in the Rock Energy Level display (bottom left in the user interface) and the smaller this area is, the more profitable this rock most likely is.
Alignment of the spaceship before mining
Before you shoot at a rock with the mining laser, position the Prospector reasonably. If you are too far away from the rock, you may not be able to inject enough energy into rocks with a high resistance level. You can fly relatively close to rocks. But beware: The closer you are to a rock, the more damage the stone causes when you blow it up by overloading. This could lead to the destruction of your spaceship.
Pro tip: Mining takes a while in Star Citizen. Although a floating Prospector remains quite still in the air, there is still a certain amount of self-movement. This can lead to the laser slipping off the target in the middle of the battle, especially in case of rock fragments. This is especially annoying if you were just about to crack the stone. You can prevent that by landing the prospector. If you also switch off the ship's engines, you'll save a lot of fuel, which reduces your expenses and increases your profit.
Disadvantage: Sometimes rock fragments can drop outside the laser's range of motion when a rock breaks apart. Then we have to restart the engines and reposition the ship to reap the fruits of our labor. It is also not possible to strafe backwards in order to gain distance to the rock and thereby additionally influence the energy supply.
When mining asteroids, you have to be careful whether the laser is moved away from the stone by any movement of the spaceship. Adjust carefully using the strafing keys.
How do I mine rocks correctly in Star Citizen?
- In mining mode, we have to use the mining laser on the rock and change the energy level of the rock until it breaks.
Mining Laser, Mining Throttle, Energy Transfer Graph
When you are in mining mode, activate the mining laser with the left mouse button. The goal is to completely fill the fracturing sensor on the right side. To do this, we need to keep the energy level of the stone (Rock Energy Level, the indicator to the left below the laser strength indicator, Laser Throttle) in the green area. This area can be quite small and it takes some practice to keep the laser energy there long enough until the fracturing sensor is completely filled.
You can change the strength of the mining laser by turning the mouse wheel. Alternatively (and this is also our recommendation) you can put the mining laser in the key configurations for HOTAS under Mining –> Mining Throttle on a throttle axis. In the picture you can see two solutions, which we like very much.
As a beginner you should first get a feel for the laser. Slowly increase the energy input until the Energy Transfer Graph on the left in the user interface begins to rise. The higher the energy level of the rock rises, the faster the energy rises. This means that at a certain point little additional energy is sufficient to significantly increase the energy level. You can imagine it a bit like one of these model cars with swing drive: As soon as you have pushed the car, its swing drive will accelerate it forward by itself.
Constant readjustment of the energy supply
Especially with a very small green area this can lead to difficulties, because when we get into the red area, the overcharge sensor (displayed on the right below the fracturing sensor) rises. At the same time, the fracturing sensor sinks rapidly. When the overcharge sensor is completely filled, the rock explodes and can seriously damage or even destroy our ship.
Attention: How often you get into the overcharge zone also determines how far the pieces of rock fly after you have successfully broke the rock. Especially when mining asteroids it can be a bit annoying to have to fly after the boulders.
This means that we have to readjust the energy supply constantly – there is rarely a perfect setting. The energy in the rock either rises or it sinks. The trick is to develop a feeling for how much energy we need to supply or take away when we are in the green zone.
Pay attention to the percentage display on the left above the Rock Energy Level and regulate the energy accordingly, for example from 12 percent with a single turn of the mouse wheel to 4-5 percent and vice versa. Watch the behavior of the energy closely and try to spot regularities. Very helpful here is the sound, which tells a lot about the condition of the stone. So listen carefully.
Also watch the ratio of the rock mass against the energy level increase. The instability and resistance of the rock also play a role here. This ratio quickly shows you, that there are certain percentages or ranges of percentages that you can follow. This is helpful for future mining on rocks of similar or equal mass.
In the following table we have compiled a few empirical values in this regard. Please consider them only as rough guidelines, for practice you must absolutely also make your own experiences.
|Mass / kg
|Initial charging %
|Green Zone: Max. %
|Green Zone: Min. %
|3.000 – 4.000
|400 – 600
So in order to keep the energy supply in the green range, we have to switch between high and low values at the right moments. As soon as we have the feeling that the energy could immediately make a jump into the red range, we have to change to the low value, but then switch back to the high value in time, before the energy sinks from the green range or if it has sunk just below it.
Pro tip: Using the HOTAS controllers mentioned above, the energy can also be injected very well in bursts. Use the throttle or the wheel to briefly release full or at least high energy and immediately set the laser back to zero. Repeat this regularly to stay within the green range.
Below the green area the fracturing sensor sinks again, which can make the whole thing a bit hectic. Hectic is the last thing you need right now, though. Keep calm and better start again before you destroy the stone and possibly your spaceship.
Exit Strategy
If you can't control the energy and are about to overload the rock completely, switch off the laser with a left click or move it away from the rock. If you do this in time, the energy level will drop slowly and you can try again after a few minutes.
Cracking particularly tough stones
Is your mining laser already at 100 percent, but you still can't get into the green area? Then you have to fly closer to the stone.
Another (future) possibility is the overclocking of the mining laser. Go to the "Items" menu item on one of the multi function displays (MFD). Look for the entry "Varipuck S2 Gimbal Mount" and click on "Overclock". At the moment nothing changes in the energy display, so it is likely that this feature is not yet active and will only work properly in a later update. But you already know how and where you can overclock.
A third possibility is to get a buddy with a second Prospector and crack the stone together. However, this requires good communication in order to successfully coordinate the double energy supply.
How do I extract resources / raw materials from the boulders?
- With the extraction mode we collect minerals from the boulders. While doing so, we pay attention to the mass-content ratio of the individual boulders and leave small resource percentages behind.
The Prospector is equipped with four mining containers. Each container can hold eight standard cargo units (SCU, the unit of measurement for cargo in Star Citizen; 1 m³ plus an edge of 125 mm on each side) of material. To transport resources into the containers, right-click to switch from mining mode to extraction mode and start the tractor beam. Rock fragments that can be placed in the containers are shown with a purple border. Align the tractor beam until the chunk has been fully picked up.
Important: In order to achieve the highest possible profit, you should watch the ratio between mass and resources. The smaller the mass and the higher the percentage of the contained resource, the better. Example: A 70 kg boulder with 11 percent resources is usually preferable to a 210 kg boulder with 5 percent resources. However, you also have to consider the rarity of the material. You should usually take the most valuable resources from our list above with you as long as the resource content is not completely marginal (e.g. 0.04 percent).
Where can I sell raw materials?
- In Port Olisar, Levski, GrimHEX and Lorville you can sell mined resources.
Once you have reached the maximum of 32 SCU (see the Cargo Capacity indicator in the middle right in Mining mode), it's time to fly back and sell your stuff. You can do this in Port Olisar, Levski, GrimHEX and Lorville at one of the special trading consoles that hang on the wall near the administration. The admin office in Lorville is located in the Metro Center district.
The future of mining in Star Citizen
Mining in space is an option since Update 3.3. With the Prospector we can scan asteroids and break them into pieces.
Further down the line, the prospector should be able to drop its containers. Transport ships such as the Caterpillar can load the containers into their cargo holds using tractor beams and haul away the extracted resources, while the Prospector continues to mine rocks in the meantime.
Mining-Plattform Orion: From miner to industrial magnate
According to CIG, the current implementation of the mining profession is only the first and basic version. Back in February 2015, the developers published a detailed design concept for extensive mining gameplay. We will now introduce the concept briefly. Please remember, however, that the gameplay presented here may differ from the final implementation. We will update new information as soon as we receive it.
This concept includes, for example, large-scale scanning of asteroid fields in which the Orion mining platform can poach. This huge industrial ship will be about 170 meters long and capable of carrying over 16,000 SCU. The platform requires a crew of four to seven men to function properly. The most important roles for players (or NPCs, which will cost a lot of money) are planned as follows:
The Orion pilot of course ensures that the platform reaches a place where resources can be mined. Within asteroid fields he is responsible for navigating and positioning the ship without accidents. He will probably be able to somehow stabilize the Orion for the mining process to enable the beam operator to precisely control the mining laser. If necessary, the pilot can adjust the position of the platform so that the crew can find the best angle for the scan or mining process.
Scan Operator
In this role, a player tries to find lucrative asteroids. For this purpose, he injects so-called RMAPs (Remote Material Analysis Packages) into the asteroids. The injection process is carried out by special rockets. To find a suitable injection point, the operator has to scan the surface of the asteroid.
Once he has found a suitable point and calculated the correct angle, a rocket is launched, which the scan operator must steer manually to the injection point. The material the asteroid is made of, the angle at which the missile strikes and the speed of impact determine whether or not an injection was successful. Successfully injected RMAPs then provide information about the composition of the asteroid.
Beam Operator
The beam operator is responsible for controlling the mining lasers. There are several of them, which are attached to robot arms at the front of the Orion and can disassemble asteroids into handy pieces. Similar to what we know from the Prospector, the beam operator can manipulate the power of the mining lasers and control the energy supply. The player must pay extra attention to the composition of the asteroid: In addition to solid materials such as gold, copper, etc., gas inclusions or liquid resources are also supposed to be hidden in asteroids.
If the beam operator pushes massive amounts of energy into a gas pocket, the consequences can be quite explosive and therefore catastrophic. In addition to monitoring the energy supply, the beam operator also needs to be aware of seismic waves that may be triggered during the mining process and which can also lead to undesired chain reactions.
Cargo Operator
The cargo operator monitors the so-called entry port via a console on the ship's bridge. There is a heavy crusher that shreds the fragments extracted from the asteroids and transfers them to the inside of the Orion. The fragments of rock entering the crusher are selected by the cargo operator himself using a special tractor beam system. He can identify the exact composition of the fragment and thus prioritize particularly lucrative fragments. A certain degree of skill is supposed to be necessary for the successful operation of the console and the tractor beam system.
Refinery Operator
This player serves the ship's refinery. Raw ore is converted into refined material, which is then stored in Orion's freight containers. Unwanted elements such as dust or worthless rock, on the other hand, can be blown out into space, which, in contrast to the current mining mechanics with the Prospector, saves considerable space and time.
The refinery operator has to guide the raw ore through a number of different processing plants. Operating errors in the finishing process can lead to equipment failures and the need for maintenance or ultimately to lower yields.
Production chains in Star Citizen: The road ahead
Mining in its small (for example with the Prospector) and large form (as planned with the Orion) should only be part of the economic cycle in Star Citizen in the future. Mining represents the beginning of a (possible!) production chain: This is where the raw material is extracted.
The mining ship itself or a transport ship takes over the first part of the logistics and delivers the material either to a refinery or (if the ship is equipped with a refinery) takes the refined materials directly to a factory that produces intermediate products (spaceship parts, weapon parts, attachments). Materials from refineries would of course also have to be delivered by transport ships to factories.
The intermediate products could then in turn be delivered to factories for end products, these end products in turn to stations or landing zones. This would create a very complex economic system in which demand and supply in each section of the production chain would enable a (at least partially) player-driven economy.
We also recommend our detailed article on the Squadron 42 roadmap, in which we discuss how the single player campaign is actually progressing.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Senators John Breaux (R-LA) and James Inhofe (R-OK) send a letter to Vice President Dick Cheney asking him, in his capacity as chairman of the National Energy Policy Development Group, to order the suspension of the Environmental Protection Agency's enforcement of the New Source Review (NSR) section of the Clean Air Act. The senators say utility companies are confused about NSR rules and that the EPA should clarify how it interprets new source reviews. They also asks Cheney to suspend current litigation efforts against several utility companies that were initiated under the Clinton administration (see November 3, 1999). The senators claim that the suits are undermining energy production. [Inhofe, 3/23/2001; Reuters, 3/30/2001]

Stay with me thru september, summer didn't last
and there aint nobody in new york city, could need you half as bad
i can picture how you're livin, in a tiny 4th floor flat
and there's times that a thousand acres and the rocky mountains can't compete with that
With the first single September, off Corb's album "Cabin Fever", we hoped to create a distinctly Albertan and haunting Rocky Mountain vision of the solitary cowboy, broken hearted, and preparing for a cold winter of solitude. The woman, now off to New York to fulfill her dreams, is a vision of August and things past. She's just a memory that never turns her face back to us—always leaving over the hill. Corb, our hero and songwriter, on occasion imagines himself in New York, but the image never matches his fantasy. It's alien, full of glass and steel, and his love is nowhere to be found. Instead, he is left to the tasks of the ranch, riding alone, and singing solo on a worn out porch. He rides the fence line, steers cattle, and crests hill upon hill of empty meadows. All the time the indifferent and ancient Rocky Mountains look on. They've seen this story a hundred times before. Man and horse, and a longing country song as salve.

I love creative insults and you've captured some of the best! Excellent.
Whether it be the Bard or Hemingway, insults have peppered literature for centuries. The are the comic relief in a heavy tragedy or a deep philosophical read. For the next few blogs I am going to explore the literary quips from the classics to Shakespeare. I may even delve into some salvos from independent authors.
Let's get started and have some fun with literary put-downs
"All morons hate it when you call them a moron."
—Holden Caulfield in The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. So you've questioned someone's intelligence, and now they're irate. What better way to drive your argument home?
"And she's got brains enough for two, which is the exact quantity the girl who marries you will need."
—Sally Nicholas in The Adventures of Sally by P.G. Wodehouse. Kill two birds with one stone: let him know he's not up to par romantically or intellectually.

Use Fred's Tiny House Trailers
We love collaborating with other tiny house companies in Australia. And we love knowing that other tiny houses are being built on the best made tiny house trailers available… ours!
That's why we joined with Janine Stachan from Tiny House Solutions when she proposed a collaborative partnership for her Tiny House kit homes made from structurally insulated panels. Fred designed a trailer to accept the SIPs as well as a connecting deck with stairs to the front door of the tiny house.
Now Janine's customers can buy a tiny house kit and construct it on a Fred's Tiny House Trailer made to exact specifications.
Here is Janine talking about collaborating with Fred:
Use Fred's Patent Pending Building Methods
Don't build a tiny house on wheels as though it's a building. It's not a building, it's a road vehicle first, so it needs to be built to a higher standard than the Building Code of Australia (BCA) National Construction Code (NCC) for traditional houses. It needs to withstand vibrations and wind forces that could rattle a conventionally-built house off a trailer, right into the car travelling behind it.
Don't have your company name on a tiny house that falls off the trailer or breaks down during transport.
Ensure you are using the strongest, safest, lightest-weight tiny house building method available.
Fred's patent pending Unified Construction Method™ has been developed from years of research and VASS engineer consultations, collaborating with building experts and material manufacturers to make sure that your tiny house vehicle can withstand the forces placed upon it during travel.
The Unified Construction Method™ isn't about strength alone, it also includes both a highly effective and proven roof insulation for summer radiant heat protection as well as a sensible floor insulation for winter, keeping your client's toes warm. All these benefits of the Unified Construction Method™: strong, lightweight & well insulated help you as a tiny house builder market and sell more tiny houses.
If you are a commercial tiny house builder or looking to become one, save yourself the trial and error by getting the answers quickly easily and in accurate detail by purchasing a Fred's Tiny House Trailer with a single use license for the Unified Construction Method™ and all the support from Fred.
Give your customers peace of mind knowing that their tiny house on wheels is built for the road as well as for comfort. It can withstand the forces placed upon it of vibration and upward lifting forces while being towed along a freeway.
We have figured out how to build comfortable tiny houses that are also safe vehicles so you don't have to. And we want all tiny houses on wheels to be safe, so we make our licenses affordable.
Call us on (03) 5472 2130 to get more information.

Profile: Blind Freddy Electric Bikes
What is an e-bike?
For those who are new to e-bikes. They are a pedal bicycle with electric assistance. It is like joining a Gym and starting on the low weights with the option to change the assistance as your muscle tone and breathing improves. We have e-bikes in all variations, including folding e-bikes, tricycles and special needs cycles plus pricing to suit every budget. We also offer parts and service.
Who is Blind Freddy?
Ironically my name is Bruce, not Freddy. I named our business Blind Freddy because initially I started building and selling e-bikes as a hobby and had a previously registered company, Blind Freddy Pty. Ltd. It is an old Aussie saying. When something is as obvious as the nose on your face. "Even Blind Freddy can see that." If Jenny and I had known what it would become, we would have chosen a more appropriate business name. It is too late to change it now because it seems that everybody knows Blind Freddy, so we are stuck with it.
As a kid I loved bikes and was restoring bikes from the age of 11 and selling them to make pocket money. In 2007 living in Buderim I built my first e-bike using an e-Lation mid drive kit. Being mechanically minded, I was impressed by the developer who had won an award from the ABC inventors' program.
I fell in love with e-bikes and saw the massive potential of this fledgling industry. We grew our small business using bikes from Australian wholesalers, this was okay, but we really wanted a say in the features and quality of the bikes. With over 2600 manufacturers of e-bikes in China, most Chinese Manufacturers think that "Westerners" are looking for a cheap price, but chasing price becomes a race to the bottom and we wanted durability, reliability, safety, appearance and a reasonable selection. Obviously, supplier selection is vitally important.
In March 2012, we placed our first factory order with a major e-bike manufacturer who produce huge volumes of quality e-bikes for Europe with EN 15194 European certification. We did not simply order from a catalogue we studied the bikes comparing them with our conditions in Australia. In the main our terrain is more like Germany, but we have more unsealed roads. Our population is primarily costal, so corrosion resistance is very important. With these factors in mind we select strong frames made from aircraft/marine grade aluminium plus as much non-ferrous components as possible to provide strength and prevent corrosion. Our tyres are puncture resistant (Kevlar shielded) where ever possible. Batteries generally contain LG, Samsung or Panasonic cells for long life and exceptional performance. Our chargers are "C Tick" Australian approved and we are ERAC registered ensuring Government compliance to electrical safety standards. It does not end there. I immerse myself in the in the e-bike manufacturing industry, meeting with global industry suppliers and distributors, sharing ideas and swapping information.
We have grown our "i" branded and Island series bikes to 14 models including 4 folding models and 2 e-tricycle models. These bikes are exclusive to Blind Freddy Electric Bikes and we are proud of the quality, reliability and our ability to provide spare parts, service and advice from our Brisbane location.
Our retail store/workshop is in Brendale. 20Km north of Brisbane and people bring their e-bikes from far and wide for us to repair and service. My Colleague Jim owned and operated his own bicycle shop and is a fully qualified bicycle technician (AUR 30205 Certificate III in Bicycles) and has also completed all modules of the Trek University course. Both Jim and I share a love of helping our customers, especially those who are new to electric bikes. Please feel free to give us a call or drop in for guidance or information and we'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Regardless of whether you curse cyclists on a daily basis, a lycra-wearing red-light skipping two wheeled menace, or just someone who prefers to travel in something other than a car, you have to admit this story is pretty funny. The fourth day of this year's Tour of Britain is set to begin in central Mansfield - a town that ordinarily bans cyclists from its streets.
Mansfield District Council has been enforcing the ban since last year, in an attempt to curb anti social behaviour. And presumably deal with the cyclists who think the rules don't apply to them. While riding a two-wheeler is against the law, the rules state that cyclists can dismount and wheel their bikes around instead.
Presumably this particular rule will be lifted for anyone participating in the race, although watching cyclists start the race on foot might make for some amusing television.
The Tour of Britain is set to start in Edinburgh on 3rd September, and will run finish in Cardiff a week later. The Mansfield leg of the race will take place on September 6th. [London Evening Standard]

Public Event: LIVE TRAVERSAL (March 1 at 2pm) UVIC
This Friday, March 1st I will be at the University of Victoria - giving a live reading/navigation of my work "Notes Toward Absolute Zero." Full details below:
Friday, Mar. 1 | 2:00-3:30pm | McPherson Library, Digital Scholarship Commons
Space limited, REGISTER HERE
The Digital Scholarship Commons at the University of Victoria Libraries is pleased to host author Tim McLaughlin and Dr. Dene Grigar for a Traversal of McLaughin's hypertext novel, Notes Toward Absolute Zero. Written in 1992/93, McLaughlin's work dates from the pre-web era of hypertext, when the creative potential of the medium was still largely unexplored. Dr. Grigar, director and professor of the Creative Media & Digital Culture Program at WSU Vancouver, will conduct a Traversal of McLaughlin's work; a narrated, recorded performance capturing the experience of the work on period 1990s computing technology.
Stored on decaying media and dependent upon obsolete hardware, digital works from earlier eras present escalating degrees of difficulty to those seeking to experience them in their original, authentic form. Traversal is a process for documenting and preserving digital media so that they may outlast the transient dependencies of their original making.
Dene Grigar is Professor and Director of The Creative Media & Digital Culture Program at Washington State University Vancouver whose research focuses on the creation, curation, preservation, and criticism of Electronic Literature. With Stuart Moulthrop (U of Wisconsin Milwaukee) she developed the methodology for documenting born digital media, a project that culminated in an open-source, multimedia book, entitled Pathfinders (2015), and book of media art criticism, entitled Traversals (2017), for The MIT Press. She is President of the Electronic Literature Organization and Director of the Electronic Literature Lab at WSUV.
Tim McLaughlin is a writer and photographer based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Over the years Tim has been active in experimental radio, hypertext fiction (he is included in the Encyclopedia of Literature in Canada), graphic design, book production, and documentary film. In partnership with Charllotte Kwon and Maiwa Handprints, Tim documents artisan communities and advocates for the importance and continuation of traditional craft and culture. Recently, Charlotte and Tim worked together to produce Textiles of the Banjara: Cloth and Culture of a Wandering Tribe (Thames and Hudson, 2016).

Textiles of the Banjara - Official Release
This month is the official release for Textiles of the Banjara: Cloth and Culture of a Wandering Tribe. A book I co-authored with Charllotte Kwon.
Charllotte had been seeking embroiderers from this community since she first started visiting India. I joined her on her search and was able to apply my love of portraiture to the project. We photographed Neelavva in the fields where she and a small group of other women were working. It was the corn harvest. I carried a large piece of black cloth with me. Two assistants held the cloth behind her and I made the picture.
This photo, along with Banjara embroidery, will be included in an exhibition to take place at the Monte Clarke Gallery, September 22 - October 1, 2016.
Here is link to the Banjara promotional PDF.

Review - Facing the Light
A review of the show "Facing the Light: Portraits" now showing at the Gibsons Public Art Gallery has just been published in the Coast Reporter.
Here's the link:
Tim portrays, Jone acts
Jan DeGrass/Arts and Entertainment Writer / Staff writer
Figures in action stalk the walls of the Gibsons Public Art Gallery (GPAG), and portraits stare down at the viewer during the current exhibition that opened last weekend.
Tim McLaughlin's almost life size photographs dominate the smaller room. As a working artist, McLaughlin is also a graphic designer and a writer, who began to focus on photography in 2004.
Late in the summer of 2010 he launched into portrait photography. He blossomed quickly; the body of work that resulted from his first efforts is large, each picture realized, portraying the essence of the subject. Many of the portraits are of Sunshine Coast artists - Todd Clark looking moody, Nadina Tandy looking like Tina Fey, her sense of humour apparent, Maurice Spira aloof - or of performers: sound artist Giorgio Magnanensi, ethereal behind his beard, or Jean Pierre Makosso, laughing as usual. Why artists? Most of the people he knows personally are involved in the arts in some way, McLaughlin told Coast Reporter.
"Those who work in the arts immediately understand why you would like to make a portrait of them," he said. "They seem to understand (and are keen to collaborate in) the process of turning their presence into another kind of presence - a portrait."
Taking a photo is a great excuse to meet people, he added. He went to France on the strength of that idea and photographed a British painter now living there, Julian Merrow-Smith, and Craig Hanna, an artist working in Paris. The results can be found in a recently released hard cover book, Portraits Found and Taken (Eidetic Editions - available for sale at the GPAG's gift shop). Coast people are prominent, but the book includes portraits of strangers unearthed from thrift store photo albums and canisters of previously undeveloped film. The book also includes a preface by Stephen Osborne (aka Mandelbrot) anda series of fanciful, creative writings in which McLaughlin defines his portrait subjects in words as well as photos.
McLaughlin's work is in the Eve Smart room, a separate section of the larger gallery. This is also significant. McLaughlin played strings in the Sunshine Coast Community Orchestra with the late Eve Smart, benefactress of the gallery. He realized how happy he was, in his first show on the Coast, to be in the gallery named after her.
Jone Pane began painting figures in action in order to boost her own energy, she said. The walls are covered in brush stroke figures not unlike Chinese characters and they are moving through all kinds of martial arts, dancing, giggling, or performing tai chi.
"I'm not that good with language," she said, pointing at one of her paintings titled, It is Written. "This is my language," and she waves a hand at the many works.
The gallery has embraced the idea of action paintings for the month of August and has scheduled activities such as karate, NIA and fencing that are open to the public. Tomorrow, Aug. 10, the Coast Martial Arts Club shows a few of their moves and on Sunday, Paul Blakey demos Wild Goose Qigong. Pick up a brochure showing the other events that run until Sept. 1.
On Aug. 16 Marlene Lowden attempts to mesh art and yoga in an interesting two and a half-hour workshop designed to help you rediscover and liberate your creativity. (This is one of the few workshops with a fee. Contact the instructor at email@example.com). More about the gallery's activities can be found at: www.gibsonspublicartgallery.ca.
GPAG Opening
Yesterday afternoon was the opening for Facing the Light: Portraits at the Gibsons Public Art Gallery. Thanks to all who came out. It was an honour to hang these images in the Eve Smart Gallery. I knew Eve and her bequest has enabled artists to partake of this wonderful new space.
The show is up until September 3, 2013. It features 10 large photographs (2 x 3 feet) mounted on aluminum sheeting. Two works on paper (3 x 4 feet) and some smaller works. The publication of the book has been delayed slightly - it is expected in about 2 weeks.

A popular argument of the New Atheist movement is to suppose that religion is disproportionately responsible for the crimes and horrors of our world. It's been made by Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and of course, pundit Bill Maher. At its weakest Maherist form, the atheist argument tells us that if you're looking at an individual dispute and/or global problem, specifically war, the chances are it's a direct or indirect result of faith-based world-views. At its strongest Hitchenist form, the argument tells us that the world would automatically be a better place if religion was instantly wiped from the face of the planet.
Having already done away with the myth that Islam is the biggest cause of terrorism, this blogpost is aimed at doing away with the myth that religion has a monopoly over badness, that is to say, being religious automatically makes you morally inferior, and being secular automatically makes you morally superior. What I am going to argue here is that just as religion does not have a monopoly over goodness, it does not have a monopoly over badness either.
Indeed, the final conclusion I will reach here is that New Atheist scholars and religious fundamentalists have more in common than they might realize. First though, I want to tackle some social institutions where the religious and non-religious (even anti-religious) forms seem to be susceptible to identical shortcomings, which makes their religious character mostly trivial.
Social institutions.
Consider charities, who usually do a lot of good regardless of whether they are based around a faith. For example the Christian Salvation Army that provides help to the poor, and the secular FKH8 that attempts to combat homophobia.
The Salvation Army has a prolific record of discriminating against LGBT people, which you can read about here and here. On the other side, FKH8 has an established history of excluding certain sexuality minorities like asexuals, and has gathered donations under shaky circumstances which you can read about here.
Does the secularity of FKH8 have any bearing on its questionable activities? Does the religiosity of the Salvation Army makes its practice worse than, say, the policy towards asexual and pansexual people that FKH8 employs? If so, why? Although the origins of the questionable activities may vary wildly, the results are identical: harm to a social group.
Social concepts.
Take a social concept like sexism and misogyny instead. Again, you have the religious form and the secular form, in this case where anti-women sentiments are concerned.
The religious form self-evidently comes from Biblical, Qu'ranic and other scriptural justifications for treating women like second-class citizens or worse, which I won't regurgitate here. The secular (Western) form of misogyny tells us that men are oppressed. Men are victims of women's superiority complexes. They're usually, to put it crudely, teenagers who can't get a girlfriend who hate their Mom for not letting them play Call of Duty, but many fully-grown adults still subscribe to so-called Men's Rights Activism.
Are women more free if they're treated like purely sexual objects in the West or if they're treated like dangerous sinners who must be hidden from society in the Middle East? Whether you hate women because the Qu'ran tells you they're sinners or you hate women because they're all 'goddamn money-grabbers who won't put out', the underlying principle is the same: You hate women.
The scientific method.
Or even take scientifically accepted world events like man-made climate change. The justifications for climate change denialism again take the same two basic forms we've seen, secular and religious. Climate change isn't real because it's cold where I live today, and so on.
Surprisingly, this is an example where the secular justifications for global warming denialism might exceed the religious ones, in the context of how big a voice they have. At the very least, secular climate change deniers occupy a larger platform in places like the U.S. than their religious counterparts. To take the example of government, congresspeople who delight in denialism are usually both religiously motivated and motivated by their (secular) corporate backers e.g. leaders of fossil fuel industries, the Koch brothers and so on. The secular profit motive occupies the most powerful force in denialism, and far outdoes religious denialism in both style and influence. Its members include the richest and most powerful individuals who care more about making a buck than protecting their children's future.
It's even easy to argue that the secular corporocrats are directly responsible for peddling denialism into the minds of the Christian right, that is to say they've duped religious people into regurgitating their denialism through a different format, namely a religious one. Denialism moves from the secular "the evidence on climate change is still mixed, we're not hearing from dissenting voices" into the religious "it's a liberal conspiracy to take away all our guns and make us buy solar panels that we don't need". And again, the effects are identical: uneducated people denying climate change and putting us in danger.
Back to the original point, let us not forget that science is not something one should be blindly faithful to. Science gave us phrenology, justification for racism and the "natural order" of racism. Science gave us weapons of mass destruction. Science gave us chemical and biological warfare. Science gave us the means to kill each other in the most painful and brutal ways.
If we think about the scientific method in the same way New Atheists think about religious belief, then science has the blood of millions of innocents on its hands for inventing guns, tanks, military helicopters, bombs and submarines. If it's absurd to blame the concept of "science" on these horrific inventions, then it must be absurd to blame "religion" for the things Maher, Dawkins and the like do.
The Victor Stenger mantra of the New Atheist movement that "science flies you to the moon while religion flies you into buildings" is an amusing quip but it forgets the dark history of the scientific method when it's applied by people who have no moral compass. Without stopping and thinking what they are creating, scientists often end up in a Frankensteinian scenario where they've used something admirable to create something horrific, as Robert Oppenheimer did.
(One thing's for sure; New Atheists have an artistic flair)
So why lump all Muslims or all Christians into the same blameworthy category, but not do the same for 19th century scientists? We don't do it for scientists because we think they're an unrelated collection of individuals with varying specialities who are all doing their own things – they just happen to all be united under one creed: the scientific method. And yet couldn't we just as easily use that definition for the billions of religious people across the globe? Why are Muslims and Christians and Jews and Buddhists "all the same"?
It's far too simplistic to think that religion is the enemy of progress and science is the best friend of progress.
Forms of government.
I would like to turn to the differences in secular and religious governments, the most prominent example that takes place when discussing issues of religion.
I think most of us are already familiar with the most brutal and oppressive regimes across the globe: North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Uganda and increasingly, Russia and China, to name but a handful. Uganda is an overwhelmingly Christian country, while Iran and Saudi are overwhelmingly Muslim. All three of which are not secular, and implement laws on the basis of their respective religions. Russia is somewhat under the influence of the powerful Orthodox Church but has a long history of secularism and atheism. China has a reputation for being a country run by atheists, and North Korea is openly hostile to religion.
And yet all these nations have commonalities in their politics: Reactionism, hostility to foreign peoples, corruption, totalitarian or authoritarian tendencies, and a past history of brutalizing their own people. They're by no means exceptional cases, but the most extreme current ones.
I admit that there are countless subtle nuances between secular governments and theocracies, but what does it tell us that two nations, let's say North Korea and Iran, both do similar things to their people but one is religious and one is not? Does it make a substantial difference on the ground, to the people suffering under these brutal regimes? It must, since Sam Harris and Bill Maher devote so much time to Muslim-majority countries and the evils they pretend, remaining relatively silent about sweeping totalitarianism across secular non-religious Asian countries. It's almost like right-wing extremism only matters when it's coming from a religious source.
Sure, two wrongs don't make a right, but Harris and Maher can't tell us why one is more wrong than another, and Maher in particular just resorts to petty insults about how weird, crazy and 'effed up religious people are for cheap laughs.
The hypocrisy of the scientific New Atheists.
As I finish this piece, I want to briefly talk about the New Atheists themselves, and their apparent abandonment of all the values they hold dear when faced with Islam.
Overgeneralizations are unscientific:
- Sam Harris & Bill Maher using the oft-cited Pew study that asked 0.02% of the world's Muslims what they thought about terrorism and extremism. As high as 80% of the 0.02% of Muslims thought terrorism was acceptable in certain circumstances, but Harris and Maher think this proves Islam has an "epidemic" level of terrorism.
- Sam Harris's support for racial profiling.
- Richard Dawkins' claim that that Islam is comparable to Nazism.
Selective reporting and employing the spotlight fallacy is unscientific:
- Richard Dawkins' claim that Muslims don't win Nobel Prizes and haven't done anything useful since "the Middle Ages", and his accusation that Muslims are unworthy of being journalists.
Scaremongering is unscientific:
- Sam Harris' endless warnings that creeping Sharia and the Islamification of Europe are both impending, and his claims that France could become Muslim-majority in 20 years even if immigration was immediately halted.
- Richard Dawkins' sterling defense of Dutch politician Geert Wilders, a man who's openly called for the banning of the Qu'ran and immigration from Muslim countries, and tried to frighten voters into supporting him to stop the "Islamification of the Netherlands".
Bloodthirstiness is uncompassionate:
- Sam Harris' support for the Bush wars as a fight against the "cult of death" that is Islam.
- Sam Harris's claim that there are "millions" of Muslims that pose a greater threat to civilization than Dick Cheney (confirmed war criminal).
- Sam Harris's declaration that Palestinian civilian casualties are at least permissible if they occur in the Gaza Strip since it's so densely populated (the question of whether Israel should attack the Strip never seems to have occurred to Harris).
- Bill Maher's declaration that Palestinian civilian casualties are just down to the fact that "people die in wars".
- Christopher Hitchens' vicious and rabid support of the Iraq War, which has killed 100,000-150,000 people to date, on the basis that he opposed "totalitarianism" in any form (how ironic that his love of the war has now opened the floodgates for further fundamentalism and totalitarianist groups).
As Luke Savage writes in New Atheism, Old Empire, despite their apparent love of anti-totalitarianism and anti-extremism, New Atheists have all supported "aggressive war, state violence, the curtailing of civil liberties, torture, and even, in the case of [Harris], genocidal pre-emptive nuclear strikes against Arab nations".
Sam Harris once argued that science can work out the answer to moral questions. If he's doing the working out, I don't want the answers.
New Atheists, especially through their foreign policy, have made themselves eerily similar to U.S. Republican warmongers, British fascists, Israeli racists, Russian ultra-conservatives, Greek neo-Nazis and Iranian fundamentalists. If you support heinous crimes against humanity, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference if you're religious or not.

Yoga Pie
This weekend, I'm headed to Lake Geneva--Wisconsin that is, not Switzerland--for a yoga retreat. The mantra of the weekend is "Healthy Food, Life, Mind: A Weekend of Realigning with Healthy Living" and will be filled with yoga workshops held by my dad's girlfriend Kira, as well as hiking, meditation, and a smorgasbord of vegetarian food prepared by my Dad and myself.
In anticipation of this long awaited feel-good weekend, I figured a pre-retreat treat was in order. Per my pick for most special events, I chose pie, the dessert love of my life.
I was officially converted to pie-dom after making a strawberry rhubarb number on a summer vacation in Southwest, MI way back when. Since that first slice, I've made it my personal quest to master "the pie," which through excessive trial and error I've learned is quite the endeavor. "Easy as pie." False. Pie is a temperamental beast. Its laborious, its finicky, and it takes a lot of practice to do well. But please don't let this deter you. Because when all of the elements do come together harmoniously, it is nothing short of a blissful experience. This is what keeps me coming back time and time again, as can be seen by the collage below.
Even with all the pies I've baked at home and training under master pie baker Lisa Ludwinski of Sister Pie in Detroit for almost 9 months now , I still experience my share of soggy crusts/loose fillings/weird lattices/burnt messes. And every time its a little jab in my heart. I push through though because pie, like life, isn't easy. But, it always teaches you something new and, most of the time, it tastes pretty great, especially with a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream. But I digress. Back to the retreat.
For the purposes of my dad and I's pre-retreat treat, I opted for a coconut cream variety. Its my Dad's favorite and a flavor I had never attempted myself, which is shocking given my complete infatuation with all things coconut.
My aim with this particular pie was to steer away from the bad qualities that I've found to be commonplace in most run of the mill coconut cream pies. More often than not, I find the coconut cream filling to be too thick/congealed, overly sweet, and tasting more of sunblock than actual coconut. Blech. I wanted a filling that tasted purely of coconut with a silky, rich texture to boot. In order to achieve this affect, I made a few modifications to a pretty standard recipe from Emeril Lagasse. The first change I made was steeping the milk with unsweetened toasted coconut, to give it a real nuttiness and warmth. I omitted actual shredded coconut from the filling and instead just sprinkled a ton over the top before serving which adds a nice textural element. I opted for whipped cream instead of meringue as a topping to keep things simple. And I used Sister Pie's crust because its my go-to and perfectly balanced flavor wise.
The result is a pie thats not too sweet and maintains the essence of coconut without overpowering. I've baked this pie twice now and can honestly say its among my favorite I've ever made and a fitting sugary sign off before lots of yoga!
This recipe involves a lot of steps, but none of them are too difficult. I promise it is well worth the wait. If you can hold off for a day, I recommend chilling the completed pie overnight to allow the filling to set. Pull out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving though to take the chill off.
Coconut Cream Pie
Crust: Adapted from Sister Pie
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 sticks of butter, chilled and cut into cubes
1/2 cup water, mixed with a splash of apple cider vinegar
1 egg, whisked together with 1/4 teaspoon of water (egg wash)
Make crust: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until it resembles coarse meal and there are no pieces of butter larger than the size of a pie. Add the ice water a tablespoon at a time and begin to gather the dough together with a fork. Turn the dough over itself a few times until it comes together, but be careful not to overwork it. Pat the dough into two round disc and wrap in plastic to chill for a couple hours (or at least 30 minutes).
Roll out pie crust. Flour your work surface and place the unwrapped pie dough in the center. Using a rolling pin, press along the edges of the round, broadening the circle. Move the disc around with your hand as you do this, making sure to flour the surface when needed. Begin to flatten the pie dough into a larger circle by rolling from the center out. Roll, then rotate the disc and roll again. Keeping rolling until the dough is about 12 inches in diameter. Invert your pie pan or dish onto the circle, and use a knife to trim the dough, leaving about a 1 inch border around the pan. Remove the pie pan and fold the dough in half. Place the folded dough into the pie tin and gently press it in, making sure it's centered and fitted properly, and let the extra dough hang over the side. Crimp any way that you like. I enjoy the pinch method found here. Freeze until ready to use.
Blind Bake Crust: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line your frozen pie crust with tin foil until the inside and crimped edges are covered. Fill completely with dried beans or pie weights. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes on the lowest rack of your oven. After 20 minutes, remove from the oven and remove the foil/weights. Brush the crimped edge of the pie crust with egg wash and place back on the lowest rack of your oven for another 8-10 minutes until golden in color. Cool completely.
Filling: Adapted from Emeril Lagasse
2 1/2 cups whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 vanilla pod, cut down the middle, seeds removed (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tablespoon butter
Make Filling: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread coconut evenly on a sheet tray. Toast until golden in color, about 5-7 min. Measure out 1 cup of the toasted coconut and set aside. Place the other cup of the toasted coconut and 2 1/4 cups of the milk in a small saucepan and bring to light simmer over medium heat. Remove from the heat, place the lid on, and let steep for one hour. Drain the milk into a bowl and set aside. There should be 2 cups of infused milk in total. If there isn't quite 2 cups worth, just add in a bit more whole milk.
In a saucepan, whisk the 2 cups of infused milk and 3/4 cup sugar together. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the liquid up to a simmer. Whisk the egg yolks together in a separate bowl. Take a 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture and whisk quickly into the egg yolks to temper. Pour this mixture back into the hot milk mixture. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining 1/4 cup of milk. Whisk into the hot milk mixture. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until the filling is thick, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and fold in the vanilla beans and butter. Let cool for 10-20 minutes. Place filling into your cooled, blind baked pie shell. Set aside while you make the whipped cream topping.
Whipped Cream
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Make whipped cream: In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed for 6-7 minutes until you reach firm peaks (when you take your whisk out of the cream, the peaks in the whipped cream should hold firmly but have slightly softened tips).
Spread whipped cream evenly over the coconut cream filling. Top with the remaining cup of toasted coconut and refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hrs.
If anyone has any pie troubles/questions/concerns please don't hesitate to ask. I love talking pie.

Hayley & Charlotte Fitzpatrick
There's a saying that some of you may or may not have heard before, and that is 'Love knows no bounds". Essentially, it means a love that can not be tainted. A strong bond which can not be broken. An unconditional sacrifice for one another. A deeper magic within ones self to be shared with only one person. A true love. If you were to meed Hayley & Charlotte, you'd certainly see that their love knows no bounds.
Hayley and Charlotte (aka Charlie) have been together for 4 years, but it didn't all start out as rainbows and butterflies. In fact, at one point Hayley recalls that Charlie was not fond of her at all...but that soon changed.
They both met in high school, and after Charlie getting past the dislike for Hayley, she fell in love with Hayley and felt that way for sometime. And it wasn't until Hayley was driving through Amsterdam 3 years later that she felt the exact same way about Charlie.On June 18 2016, atop Mount Ainslie watching a sunrise, Hayley asked Charlie to marry her...it also marked another special moment as it was Charlie's 20th birthday.
In their time together, Hayley and Charlie have shared so many wonderful moments together, but their favourite is watching fireworks at Disneyland together. They also share many funny moments, a list which is far too long to mention...but Hayley loves the fact that Charlie always makes her laugh.
They also share a love of Europe, as this is their favourite travel destination...so far.
Hayley and Charlie were married on 3rd March 2018 at the iconic and stunning Lake George Winery. The weather was absolutely perfect for their day, almost as perfect as their vows shared with each other, and their love declared to all their friends and family.
They are blessed to not only having the opportunity to marry each other, but they were able to do so legally as a same sex couple.
Once the legalities were over, we whisked them and their incredibly fun bridal party off for some photos in and around the winery before heading back to the function area for their reception.
