I don't check my emails every day. Interacting with that form of communication, for me, is exhausting. All the checking off, only 50 at a time. All the old mailing lists that I'm not ready to unsubscribe from. I'm doomed if I forget for a few days. [Neither am I a fan of the telephone, unless it's someone with whom I deeply resonate. Those folks have become too slim in number nowadays.]
So, needless to say, I just got the email today that "T" wrote to me on December 15th, from Hawaii. This email was coinciding with the photos he posted of the Mochi Festival that his village and his landlady were giving, on that very day. He had sent photos to me on Facebook, and was exclaiming at the timing of my card! I'm thinking, "What the fuh is he talking about?" You see, once I let something go, like a letter, or even an intention [oh, wait, didn't I say they were one in the same in this case? Lol.]- I forget all about it. All about it. I'm just a vessel, more like a funnel, for whatever love and creativity is coming through and going wherever it's going. I don't retain very much memory of it if any at all. Get in, bam, get out, keep jogging.
I like it. The playful, powerful Presence of the Universe/Source Energy is unquestionably felt in scenarios like these. I told you, you'll like it, too.
|not my friend's picture, but showing a traditional
pounding of the rice
So anyway as I was saying, just this morning I figure I'd better check the emails, because it's been a few minutes, eh-hem. And there it is, on December 15th, an email from "T". *Now all of those bewildering photos on Facebook are being explained!* It just so happens that my card, with this whole thing that I told myself was complete nonsense about coconut mochi custard- was the first piece of mail that sitting in his brand new PO Box; that he was visiting for the first time on 12/14, even though he'd had the new address for weeks; and, yes 12/14 the day before the big and very Sacred Mochi cooking and pounding ceremony that his landlady was hosting.
Can you believe that I didn't put it together right away? I didn't know about the festival, or his new address, or any of that. Well, since I had my eureka! moment today, I've been blowing through information online and learning about this ceremony. This video brought out that lump in my throat that I get when I have great emotion swelling up inside of me. But that nearly always happens when I hear any sort of slow rhythmic Indigenous drumming.
Some more information on the food itself and the ceremonial nature, sometimes, of Mochi:
|not "T"'s picture- but a pic of the 'fireman',
who, as explained by my friend, is in charge
of the cooking of the rice-
this is no job for the untrained!
Rice is pretty much the only grain that I eat, with some occasional cornmeal. I love the sacredness pounding by hand- to a rhythm! All those involved must be highly Present in the moment, and in tune with one another. Essentially, that means getting tuned into a vibratory field that is being created as a web: mallet, turning- and in tune with the drummers beat. And the drummers must also be energetically linked to the pounder(s) and turner. This Sacred Rhythm is mesmerizing, brings up deep, Ancient stuff from the DNA.
I could feel the emotion of my friend about the card and timing, etc. I felt much emotion, too- of how The Presence of the Universe is continually showing Itself to me, working through me- all unbeknownst to me! And then, the big reveal, and the sitting in [pleasurably] stunned silence, just mouthing, "wow".
I got another one for ya' that has transpired within the same time frame as the *magical mochi* Quirky Synchronicities part two: *Good Things Are Happening* 12/23/17
Yes, it has something to do with something that has to do with that guy on the right >>>>

TUESDAY, JANUARY 12,1954 BLYTHEVILLE (ARK.) COURIER NEWS PAGE THREE 2 Men Work 3 Hours Daily to Bring Solons Big 3-D Weathermap By CHARLES F. .BARRETT WASHINGTON (AP) — The government has installed new 3D maps to tell a congressman everything about the weather except how political, winds are blowing in his home town. A dedication service was scheduled today for the elaborate multicolored weather maps just off the floor of the House arid Senate. Rain, snow or shine, two Weath- i tr Bureau experts show up at 9 f^t.m. every day to fill the big glass panels with red. yellow, white and green symbols which portray the weather from Mexico to Canada. It takes them three hours, but tion, precipitation, pressure and . so on. George Winthrop, when they are through a congressman can tell the temperature in his home town—plus wind direc- atmospherio head of the Weather Bureau's daily map unit, said it was "pure coincidence" today's ceremony coincided with the worst snow and sleet storm of the season.

"You'd be surprised," Winthrop said. "Many congressmen are better meteorologists than the people who make the maps. They are keenly interested in the weather here and back home. They can make their own forecast." The weather bureau has had old glass map cases since 1902, bu they included weather stations which had been closed for 20 years. As for the three-dimensional ef. feet, that was obtained by laying out three layers of. glass, each with its own symbols. Winthrop called it "lamination" on a "delicately grained glass surface." That makes it easier for a congressman to distinguish an occluded front from a high pressure area.

Leftist Leader To Try Forming Italian Cabinet ROME in — Amlhtore Fanfani 46-year-old left-wing leader of the Christian Democratic party agreed today to try to form a new Italian government. He "conditionally" acceptec President Luigi Elndaudi's offer o: the premiership after former Pre mier Gulseppe Pella, who resigned Jan. 5, had turned it down. He had served as agriculturae minister under Alclde de Gasper and as interior minister In Pella's five-month-old government. In the former post, he played a major part in the implementation of the land reform program under which Italy plans to distribute more than million acres to 50,000 peasani families. Pella resigned last week after a split with other Christian Democrat leaders, who felt the Pre< mier's policies were too far to the right. Many of the party's leaders lave urged more social reforms :o counter the rising strength of ;he Communists and the extreme left Socialists allied with the Reds.

Benson said oiisumers are denied benefits, of abundant production, yet farmers .re denied a stable income. As for the new program. Benson ;aid, it promises consumers "an ;bundance of food and fiber at easonable prices and at less cost o taxpayers." The theory advanced in support if flexible price props is that it vlll help to maintain normal sup- lies by keeping supports at high evels in time of scarcity and low- ring them, thus discouraging pro- luction, when surpluses pile up. Critics counter that it thus re- luces financial help to farmers at he time they need it most—when irices are low. vJegro Deaths Allen Davis Services for Allen Davis, 75, who lied Sunday at his home on Her-' inn Street here, will be conducted t noon Wednesday at St. Luke Bap- ist Church by Rev.

After losing his crew in a fatal crash, legendary Rescue Swimmer, Ben Randall (Kevin Costner), is sent to teach at "A" School, an elite training program for Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers. Wrestling with the loss of his crew members, he throws himself into teaching, turning the program upside down with his unorthodox training methods. While there, he encounters a young, cocky swim champ, Jake Fischer (Ashton Kutcher), who is driven to be the best.
During training, Randall helps mold Jake's character, combining his raw talent with the heart and dedication required of a Rescue Swimmer.
Upon graduation, Jake follows Randall to Kodiak, Alaska, where they face the inherent dangers of the Bering Sea. In his initial solo rescue, Jake learns firsthand from Randall, the true meaning of heroism and sacrifice, echoing the Swimmer's motto..."So Others May Live!"

Right in the middle of Berlin lies the Haus Schwarzenberg – a place were you can still feel the rebellious spirit of house occupation after the wall came down. Haus Schwarzenberg apparently fits perfectly my concept of "Entropy". The unplastered stone façade is crumbling and weed is growing out of the cracks. From murals and rusty metal sculptures in the yard to graffiti, stencils and paste-ups, this house is brimming with striking Street Art. It is like time stood still here, quite a contrast to the highly commercial Hackescher Markt next door and the gentrified neighborhood.
Haus Schwarzenberg is a very political place and the Street Art reflects that through protest messages and political posters. In the 1990s, Haus Schwarzenberg became the new "Republic of Schwarzenberg". Originally the name came from a little town at the Ore Mountains, near the German-Czech border. After Germany's surrender in the Second World War, the town remained unoccupied by Americans and Russians, which lead to a power vacuum. This episode lasted only lasted six weeks. Then it became Russian territory. Haus Schwarzenberg tells many stories of alternative lives and people walking their own paths. I felt immediately at home in this free space for creativity and utopian thinking, so I left a Monarch Butterfly on its wall. It is definitely a place where ideas get wings!

Chief Recruitment Officer
Meet our Chief Recruitment Officer for 2019, Kendal Barrett! Kendal is a sophomore from Suwanee, GA, majoring in Pre-Nursing.
Q: Why did you choose Pre-Nursing?
A: I really enjoy how hands-on it is and how something new can happen everyday. I worked in a doctor's office over the summer which allowed me to interact and work with actual patients, and it was really cool! Also, wearing scrubs to work everyday sounds fun!
Q: Are you involved in anything else on campus?
A: Alongside my position in Theta, I am also a member of the Student Nursing Association, or SNA.
Q: What does Theta mean to you?
A: Theta has truly changed me as a person. Being from out-of-state, I was shy and scared to try new things. Theta has taught me to step out of my comfort zone and try things I normally wouldn't, and I am so grateful for that. I've also met some of the best people I know through Theta and have made my most favorite memories with them.

Kneel, God of Rock, Book One
Dash Justice wrote the songs everyone sings.
His face hangs on every girl's wall. But Dash wasn't always a rock God.
Once, he was just Jamie, the boy I loved.
But when my name, sung from his lips promised I was good for only one thing, all sweet thoughts of him die.
Now his excuses mean nothing. His apologies are weak and I'm about to show the world that even rock Gods can be brought to their knees.
Beg, God of Rock, Book Two
I am a liar. My words were poison and everything I touched got filthy. Except Iris.
She was the best part of who I was. The only bright spark in my dull, gray world.
But denial made me stupid and a cruel insult destroyed everything I hoped to have with the girl of my dreams.
Now I will crawl on my knees and grovel because sometimes, even rock Gods have to beg.

It only took me 7+ hours to get from Vegas to LA today.
And the sad thing is that I flew. I bet I could have driven back faster considering the time I left to go to the airport.
My plan was to fly during the Super Bowl and avoid the craziness that is Sunday Nights at McCarran Airport. So much for that plan.
In hindsight, I could have totally gone to a Super Bowl party, watched 'til the end and still made it to catch my flight in time.
Thanks to Yoshi for coming to pick me up at the airport so late. I could have totally cabbed it home, so I really appreciate it.
As soon I as walked through the door, I took off all my grubby clothes, put on a big fluffy robe and slipped my feet into my smooshy slippers.
Now time for a quick shower and off to bed.

7:30 PM SEPTA Meeting @ WMS IMC
6:30 PM FL PTA Halloween Festival
The aroma of freshly cooked apples and cinnamon wafted through Forest Lake classrooms as kindergarten students assisted their teachers with making homemade apple sauce. Using a Foley mill, each student took turns churning the wedge to separate the skin from the meat of the apple and then tasted the fruit of their labor.
Forest Lake, Mandalay, and Wantagh elementary fifth-graders marked an important academic milestone as they attended individual moving-up ceremonies held in the high school auditorium. Each celebration was punctuated with photo montages and video presentations, as well as special musical performances that added to the sentimental occasions.
It may have been the coldest day of winter in Wantagh, but Forest Lake kindergarten penguins kept warm during various activities during their annual Penguin Day celebration. For the past several weeks the students have studied the Emperor, Little Blue, Macaroni and Rock Hopper penguins through English language arts, science and math activities.
Forest Lake fourth-grade students became more versed in Native American life and culture upon participation in the school's annual Native American Day, held on Jan. 29. The activity was the culmination of a social studies unit in which the students learned about Native American life and how the Iroquois of New York State assisted the Pilgrims through their first harsh winter.
The district is pleased to announce that 12 elementary, 13 middle school and 13 high school student-musicians were selected to participate in the Nassau Music Educators Association All-County festivals, held in January at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts. Selection was based on the students' individual New York State School Music Association evaluation scores and teacher recommendations, as well as evaluations during solo performances at regional music festivals.
During an in-school field trip with North Shore Land Alliance educator Karen Mossey, fourth-grade students at Forest Lake learned about Long Island's drinking water and the best ways to protect it. "The best way to protect our drinking water is to learn about it," Mossey said.
Victoria Alssid, school nurse at Forest Lake Elementary School in Wantagh, has received the 2018 Excellence in School Nursing Award. Bestowed by the New York State Association of School Nurses, Alssid received the accolade for having excelled in her practice of school nursing.
The aroma of freshly cooked apples and cinnamon wafted through Forest Lake as kindergarten students cooked applesauce from fresh apples.
It was a red carpet welcome for Forest Lake kindergarten mothers who attended Mother's Day celebrations in Lynne Adams,' Robin Conte's and Stacey Sandurs' classrooms on May 11.
Vaughn Messina, a fourth-grade student at Forest Lake, recently raised $1,025 to help two peers who are batting cancer. This past fall, Vaughn told his mother, Karen Maureen Messina, that he wanted to help them through the sale of his toys and by collecting donations.
May 2019
Dear Parents,
The book that I have chosen as the book of the month for May is called Mixed, A Colorful Story, by Arree Chung.
"All special in their own ways, all living in harmony-until one day, a Red says, "Reds are the best!" and starts a color kerfuffle. When the colors decide to separate, is there anything that can change their minds? A Yellow, a Blue, and a never-before-seen color might just save the day in this inspiring book about color, tolerance, and embracing differences."
Celebrating each other's differences is something that we always strive to do at Forest Lake. This book explores the topic of tolerance and discrimination in a fun, colorful, and kid friendly way. There are many ways adults can approach this book when reading with children and it is one that can be read and discussed at multiple age levels. There is a simple lesson on primary and secondary colors imbedded into the more complex topic of acceptance, tolerance, and segregation. It explores a rather difficult topic in a fun and accessible manner and I am sure that it will make a positive impact on our school community.
I truly enjoyed reading this book and I hope that your children do as well!
Happy Reading!

After months of preparation for TEDGlobal>London, we opened our doors to about 400 attendees. It was a one-day event, held on June 16 at the Faraday Lecture Theatre at the Royal Institution of Great Britain. You may find a great recap of the day and a short summary of all talks at the TEDBlog. You may see some of the talks on TED.com, like the one from Yuval Noah Harari, trying to explain the rise of humans (I really love this talk).
What you cannot see is that inside the theatre, we decided to do a little experiment, banning the use of smartphones, laptops, tablets, cameras –all electronic devices. It was hard for the ones who enjoy live tweeting and sharing, but at the end everyone said they loved it. You may read about it in this interesting article that Bruno Giussani wrote in The Guardian.

Wiley provided the opening discussion for our 2019 literary festival, Greensboro Bound. He was gracious, entertaining, and informative to a full house. Throughout the evening, Wiley addressed a range of topics — from writing craft to contemporary Appalachia — with humor, personal stories, and well-informed reflections. His talk was a festival highlight! Greensboro Bound loves working with Wiley. Scuppernong Books loves working with Wiley. He is a complete Southern gentleman; charming, smart, and engaging.
Wiley Cash is a witty, thoughtful speaker who relates well to his audience. He's knowledgeable about the craft of writing, as well as the cultural/historical research that informs his own work, and he's able to share that knowledge effectively with a diverse audience. Altogether, this makes for a presentation that's as entertaining as it is informative. He also took the time to speak with his fans and to engage with everyone there, which attendees really appreciated.
The Abingdon community was delighted to have Wiley Cash visit with us during the the Washington County Public Library's 20th anniversary of its successful "Sunday with Friends" literary series. Wiley held the packed-in audience spellbound for an hour and a half with his reading from "The Last Ballad," humorous anecdotes about the ups and downs of his literary career, and especially answering many questions about his writing process, his development as a writer, etc. He is certainly a young writer to watch!
Washington County Library
Licking County One Book
THE LAST BALLAD was very compelling and Wiley was very charismatic and engaging during his talk and question and answer session. The audience was very engaged and eager to meet him face-to-face at the book-signing segment. We would welcome him back in a heartbeat with a future publication!
Wiley was witty, insightful, and connected well with his audience. From start to finish, his approach to a very difficult topic was invitational. He did a great job of engaging a room full of diverse people with a lot at stake in the conversation. Throughout the hour, Wiley built bridges and people enjoyed meeting him on them.
Wiley Cash is an engaging and dynamic speaker, and his enthusiasm was on full display during our annual Dinner with an Author event. Even while he and his family had to evacuate their coastal North Carolina home during a hurricane, Wiley kept in contact with our group and was ready to change travel plans if needed to make it work. The best example of Wiley's friendly nature was during our sponsor reception prior to the dinner. During this invitation-only event, Wiley was extremely courteous to each of our guests, taking the time to engage in conversation, sign copies of his book, and pose for photos.
At all three of our campus events, Wiley was relatable (especially to the students), engaging about how he "found" his story and detailed about his research for his writing. By doing all of these, he connected across the board – with students, faculty, staff, administrators and the community. He was a relaxed presenter whether in small or large group setting. I imagine his familiarity with college campuses allows for this comfort level but also, it's part of his personality. He was a pleasure to work with prior to and during the scheduled date. I HIGHLY recommend him to college campuses.
East Carolina Univ - Pirate Read
It was a pleasure having Wiley speak at our event, he is very well spoken, intelligent, and funny. The ladies truly enjoyed hearing what he had to say and he definitely inspired an interest in topics that most had never heard of before. He has a very unique point of view as a writer and I truly enjoyed listening to his thought process as a writer and his inspiration for his stories.

Standard 8.F.5 – Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph, e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear. Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.
Vocabulary for this standard:
EngageNY lesson link – This appears in the first module of the EngageNY curriculum.
Quick thoughts:
A base is a number or expression being multiplied in an exponent
An exponent is a number that describes how many times to use the number in a multiplication.
A coefficient is a number used to multiply a variable.
A negative exponent expresses that the base is the denominator of a fraction instead of the numerator
The multiplicative property of exponents says that when you multiply powers with the same base you just have to add the exponents
The division property of exponents says that when you divide powers with the same base you just have to subtract the exponents
The power of a power property says that when you raise an exponent to another power, you just have to multiply the exponents

Despite signs warning trespassers to stay away, the bridge has become a magnet for those seeking the ultimate photo for their social media pages. One hundred victims have lost their lives from either jumping or falling from the bridge since it opened in 1973.

Lagos Concept Store XII Glover Fills the Gap for African Millennials on Global Streetwear
LAGOS, Nigeria - They boast, "ONLY PLACE IN LAGOS TO COP LEGIT SUPREME, PALACE, PALM ANGELS, OFF-WHITE..." The list goes on, but it's a critical rallying cry in a sector ripe for counterfeit goods. The hustle for streetwear is no joke wherever you are in the world, plagued by long lines on city streets and a secondary market where prices astronomically rise for the of-the-moment drop. However, no more so than in Lagos where access to coveted luxury streetwear from Western brands can be limited to airfare and disposable income spent in the closest European cities.
In the past decade, streetwear has rapidly grown from a niche sub-culture to mainstream modus operandi, dominating dressing with a millennial client from London to Lagos to Los Angeles. New concept store XII Glover is the latest to bring those labels to the fore with insiders right in Ikoyi. Need limited-edition Wizkid Starboy concert merch 10 minutes from Victoria Island? XII Glover has it. Looking for Supreme memorabilia to round out a collection? XII Glover can help you track it down.
Named after its literal street address, the concept store launched in July and announced its first brand of Nike Football x Off-White on Instagram, which was timely given Nigeria's ascension in the World Cup. Since opening day, XII Glover now stocks foreign brands including KITH, A Bathing Ape, Yeezy, and Fear Of God plus a mix of cult classic pieces from European luxury brands Balenciaga and Maison Margiela, an in-house private label XII full of monochromatic separates, and Nigerian streetwear players SammyStates and Stay Cosy.
With no website, XII Glover is still a bit underground save infrequent postings of the store front to social media. Enigma is part of the streetwear playbook and the roster of brands they carry mean XII Glover can claim by association. It is a strategic approach to build credibility on the ground and it helps that foreign streetwear labels desire local stockists in Lagos due to the thriving demand for their goods with this African millennial demographic.
With a generation that's more likely to hear about a new style from a digital interface or by word of mouth, all brands, but especially streetwear, need to be nimble in how they engage with their audience. Another layer of the strategy is meeting consumers where they are. Dropping in Lagos firms up confidence with an affluent, perhaps niche crowd, who is keen to sport the most exclusive pieces not found elsewhere.
A third element of the streetwear playbook is the collaboration-centric culture. Selling not only clothes, but also accessories (think tents, skateboards, and magazines), XII Glover is making a stake in the lifestyle space, merchandising an assortment that can signal on and off the wearer shared values and beliefs. Limited edition and seasonally-specific drops ensure that smaller-than-average inventories do not present a challenge; scarcity benefits the business model with minimal expectation to restock and exclusivity near-guaranteed.
The team behind XII Glover suggests that domestic streetwear brands are seen more neutrally by the broader Nigerian fashion industry, which biases towards bespoke and hand-crafted designs, but the market for screen-printed tees, graffiti-tagged denim and faded cotton sweats is growing and quickly. Nigerian labels leading the landscape include Severe Nature, Bearded Genius, Vivendii, and WFLSNCRM, who recently partnered with luxury retailer ALARA on an exclusive capsule collection.
UK-based photographer Femi Olaiya commented on Instagram, "I have always imagined when we would start having sneaker and garment releases in Lagos. With what you are doing, we are not far off." A vote of confidence goes a long way. The founding team has plans to expand beyond streetwear one day, but for now, they are doing just fine.

Build It and You Shall Brew
By Don Rowell and Paul McDermott
Sunday, October 7, 2018
Sometimes we have a tendency to put the cart before the horse or argue which came first, the chicken or the egg. (Chicken!)
We've written several articles on how to brew, what to brew, bottling issues — but nothing in-depth on what you need to get started other than an ingredients kit. In this issue we'll discuss some equipment you may need to brew from bare bones to "wow!" and from deep pockets to penny poor.
Don't be intimidated about getting into homebrewing because you think you can't afford it. There's nothing further from the truth. When we started brewing, we were penny poor to say the least. So listen to us, we're speaking from experience. To get started, you probably already have the majority of the equipment you need right at home. You'll need a decent size cooking pot, stove, stirring spoon and funnel. All you need to acquire is a fermenter, a siphon, bottling bucket, bottles, caps and bottle capper. All of this can be purchased as a kit for under $75.
Once you have your equipment, starter kit and ingredients kit, you're ready to go! (On how to brew, see Homebrewing 101 in the Summer 2017 Issue). As mentioned before, homebrewers tend to grow their brewery over time to absorb the costs of new equipment. If you have the cash up front, there is all kinds of nice equipment on the market. Complete systems with electronic controllers, heating elements, pumps, temperature-controlled fermenters — you name it. They even have systems out there that are an all-grain, all-in-one brew system and fermenter. That's right, only one vessel! Some of these systems are so nice they will almost brew by themselves. Of course, a lot of these systems cost thousands of dollars and out of most people's budgets. It seems as if companies come out with new gadgets everyday to make homebrewing easier.
Like we said earlier, when we started off, we were penny poor and built a lot of things ourselves. We were "old school" and brewed "old school." For the most part we still do. We're still using the same direct-fired mashtun and boil kettle we've been using for the last 10 years. Of course, we've added vessels, pumps, quick connects, etc. over the years. Building your brewhouse or upgrading your brewhouse to a larger size can be done cheaper than you may think if you put your head to it and do it over time.
We'll use our personal journey into homebrewing to give examples of how you can build your brewery or expand to a larger size on the cheap. We started with a turkey fryer kit doing 5-gallon extract batches. These kits are perfect because they come with a burner and stainless steel pot typically big enough to make 5-gallon batches. Another great benefit is that these kits are fairly inexpensive. Now keep in mind that this is not a duel purpose vessel. No turkey frying in this pot, brewing only!
Then we wanted to go to 10 gallons and found a damaged 15.5-gallon commercial keg. We didn't have the ability to cut and drill the keg, nor the money to pay a machine shop to do it. So, we found a local guy in town to do what we needed and paid him in trade with homebrew. We then put the ball valve fittings on ourselves and voilà: We had a 10-gallon brewhouse for little money. We used (and still use) the same burner that came with the turkey fryer kit with the new converted kettle. Then we bought a couple of cheap ice coolers and converted them into a mashtun and hot liquor tank in order to move into all-grain brewing. We eventually found more damaged commercial kegs and upgraded to all stainless steel vessels and a propane burner for each vessel. You can find a lot of how-to videos online to help you do all the things we have done. Keep in mind these upgrades took place over 10 years so the cost remained relatively low and each vessel we did ourselves.
There are may things you can buy for homebrewing to make your life easier, but there are just as many things you can do yourself to keep the costs down. Spend the money where you need to and put a little thinking, paired with a little elbow grease, to the things you can do yourself. Our system is nothing fancy, nothing shiny and pristine, but we take pride in the fact that we built it ourselves and it has rewarded us with many a fine beer!
Having to build our brewhouse was a big part of our homebrew journey. It taught us a lot about brewing, how to think outside the box and most importantly about ourselves. We wouldn't have changed a thing!
Til' next time … happy brewing, happy holidays and may your dreams be filled with the "Complete Joy of Homebrewing."

When should children have their eyes examined?
The American Optometric Association (AOA) issued guidelines for how often children should go to an eye doctor for a comprehensive eye exam. According to these recommendations, infants should have their first ocular evaluation at 6 months of age. Routine eye exams should then follow at 3 years old and at 5-6 years old (prior to entering kindergarten or first grade). If they do not need vision correction, school-aged kids should have a complete eye assessment done every two years. Children who wear eyeglasses or contacts should have yearly examinations.

Can I sell through videos embedded on other websites?
Yes you can! And you should. If you embed the videos from your player on other websites, viewers will be able to rent or buy the videos right from there. We recommend embedding your Main Video. That way, viewers will see the trailer when they visit the page, and then they'll be able to watch the video from that same page once they make the purchase.

As automakers strive to build lighter, faster cars, Lamborghini has opened a new facility to develop a material far stronger and cheaper than traditional carbon fiber and will share its research with its fellow
"This is for us a priority," Lamborghini C.E.O. Stefano Domenicali said at the grand opening of the Advanced Composite Structures Laboratory in Seattle on Monday. "We were the first. We are a leader now in that respect. We want to keep working."
Domenicali, who joined Lamborghini in February, also said that Lamborghini will share its research, developed in collaboration with
"Without the Audi shareholding, Lamborghini wouldn't be here," Domenicali said. "The research that was done and the development that was done in the years was without them impossible. Therefore we are able of course to deliver what they need."
The research facility in Seattle will support Lamborghini's development of a carbon fiber-based material called Forged Composite that has proved itself to be sturdier and easier to use. Instead of the traditional method used to make components with carbon fiber – layering sheets of carbon fiber cloth between layers of resin in a mold – Lamborghini mixes a paste of chopped carbon fiber threads and resin to achieve stronger, more complex components. A component that once required 28 hours and $20,000 can now be ready in five minutes for a fraction of the cost.
Carbon fiber is becoming more important not only to automakers striving to meet federal fuel economy standards but to supercar makers pushing to develop faster and more aerodynamic racecars and exotics. Lamborghini started using carbon fiber 30 years ago with the Countach Evoluzione. It debuted Forged Composite with its 2010 Sesto Elemento limited series supercar.
Most cars are still made with steel, but automakers have been incorporating more lightweight aluminum, which is easier to produce and repair than carbon fiber, into body panels and engine blocks. Most notably, the best-selling vehicle in the U.S., the Ford F-150, transitioned to aluminum last year.
Lamborghini says that Forged Composite is the strongest, most lightweight material being used in the automotive industry. It trims the production time required to form components; it can make complex shapes, like the Aventador's front bumper, that metals can't; it's strong; and it's cheaper.
If you're raising an eyebrow at the mention of "cheaper," you are not alone.
"Reducing cost on a Lamborghini is kind of counterintuitive because Lamborghini can afford to be expensive, but if we don't spend as much money making the body or chassis of the car, we can spend that money elsewhere in the car," said Bonnie Wade, a research engineer and manager of the new lab. "So the pushrod suspension system in the Aventador, for instance, was allowed to be introduced because we saved so much on costs of the monocoque (vehicle frame). The directive to reduce costs allows us to put even crazier stuff in the car."
Lamborghini's latest model, the 770-horsepower, V12 Centenario, makes heavy use of traditional carbon fiber. Its body is made entirely of exposed carbon fiber, which has cut its weight to 3,351 pounds, allowing it to zip from 0 to 60 in 2.7 seconds and cruise at top speeds of 217 m.p.h. The Centenario has already sold out of the 20 coupes and 20 roadsters it built.

"There are 31 Helvar multisensors in total spanning the substantial five bedroom property. Each one incorporates a constant light and PIR sensor to fulfil two key aspects of the lighting management; our brief outlined a desire for the home to omit no waste and the sensors proactively adjust lighting levels to achieve the architect, Larock's wishes." Kris Hogg Managing Director - Konnectiv Technology
Smarthome installer, Konnectiv Technology, was set the task of installing a cutting-edge control system that would work to proactively lower the carbon footprint of this striking family home in Harrogate. Building upon the contemporary home design is Konnectiv's equally modern solution which features a range of Helvar lighting products and sensors that work towards significant savings in energy consumption.
Konnectiv installed a whole-home lighting control system, including thirty one Helvar multi-sensors; each one incorporates a constant light and PIR sensor to fulfil two key aspects of the lighting management.
Firstly, the PIR sensors work on an absence/presence basis. If a room is vacated and the lights left on, the multisensors will recognise this and automatically generate a command to disengage the light in that room.
Also, the constant light aspect feeds back the real-time lumen levels of each zone to the central control processor. If lumens exceed par, then the system will automatically correct itself to minimise energy draw, similarly, if the room darkens the light level will increase.
Where this system really hits its stride is in the westerly facing rooms. Across the glass fronts, the system communicates between the Helvar sensors, blinds and an astronomical clock. If thermal gain fluctuates, the blinds begin to open/close to regulate the temperature and, in turn, the light sensors speak to the processor to adjust the level of light within the room.
As energy efficient systems become more accessible to the residential market, the Helvar kit at 1.Zero.4 hints at what the future holds, for not just the modern smarthome, but all homes in the future.

2012 Summit Meeting Done
Naw, I'm kidding. My wife is an excellent money partner. And so am I, right, dear?
Near the start of each year, my wife and I convene what I've dubbed our Summit Meeting. Summits help re-anchor us to goals, and we deal in one day with what could be a year's worth of disagreement on the inescapable trade-offs among spending, saving, and investing priorities. That can be a lot of contention jammed into one day, so we try to keep it light, and we've made adult beverages a critical ingredient of Summits.
After many years, we've settled on an agenda. I'm sharing this not because I think you're interested in our lives—I know you're not—but because I've found that these meetings are a critical part of helping us make better money choices over time, which is what Money Counselor is about. I encourage you to try out the technique, customized to suit your family, personalities, and situation.
Summit Agenda
- Review our actual vs. budgeted spending for the year just ended We've been tracking our spending since 1998. To give one example from the summit just ended of what we do here: We spent $2,600 on eating out in 2011 compared to a budget of $1,740—a whopping 50% "unfavorable variance" (as I like to call it from my days as a corporate budget guru). So we got way off track. We look at the details (spit out by our personal finance software) of our eating out spending, then we ask ourselves: Well, do we want to keep eating out as much, or do we want to cut spending on eating out in 2012 and instead spend the money on something else or save it? We think we'd like to save more, so we'll probably aim to hold our 2012 eating out budget to something like $150 per month and be more conscious of that particular indulgence.
- Review notes from last year's summit This trip down memory lane I think is my wife's favorite part of the Summit. She reads aloud her notes made during last year's Summit in each of the sections below, and we talk about why things did or didn't turn out as planned. In particular, she likes to make predictions regarding the stock market, oil prices, our net worth, and so on as part of the Summit, and this is where she gets to see how well she did. I won't comment on her forecasting talents, except to say that she's a sweetheart. 🙂
- Goals Again, my wife finds this agenda item more engaging than I do. She set six goals; I have one: "Stay mobile and don't break any bones." Or maybe that's two goals.
- Trips Travel is expensive, so we try here to identify the major trips we want to take during the year. Typically we can afford only a fraction of the trips we'd like to take. Fortunately we have endless opportunities for regional recreational trips. But visiting family is always a long trip, requiring airfare.
- House Projects We moved into our house about 2½ years ago, and spent a lot on renovating. Thankfully, that's over, so now we're focused more on maintenance and modest improvements. My wife is ready to replace our vintage kitchen appliance. Though the dishwasher doesn't do a good job, I like the range and fridge and see no reason to send them to a landfill. No resolution on this one; I'll be a bit suspicious of sabotage should an appliance fail.
- Investments & Saving Goals Mainly we talk about asset allocation here—stocks, bonds, cash, pork bellies, etc. My wife reads a lot of financial books and news, and she's convinced stocks are going to crash. As we have only 18% of our financial assets in stocks—much less than any financial planner would recommend—we're not too vulnerable, but she wants to sell it all I think. We'll probably compromise and sell about half of what we have left. My problem is, what to do with the proceeds? As I discussed in a recent post, nothing looks appealing to me right now.
- Work Goals My wife thinks we need to continue earning a lot of money; I don't. So she does, and I don't. I do my best to keep her from becoming resentful by handling most 'family duties,' and I'm hoping this blog will generate income. So you don't think I'm a complete slug, I do work part-time, I help run the carsharing cooperative in my community (this is a volunteer gig, but takes a lot of time), and I like to stare out the window and think a lot.
- 2011 Accomplishments Patting ourselves on the back is a fun part of every Summit.
- Predictions for 2012 As mentioned above, my wife enjoys forecasting macro numbers like the Dow Industrial Index and oil prices. I've learned that once I decide something is definitely going to happen, the opposite will almost surely happen. (Remember the Seinfeld episode where George starts doing the opposite of his instinct and suddenly everything starts working for him? My instincts evidently are as poor as George's.) So my approach is to set ourselves up so we'll be fine no matter what happens, rather than aligning our situation in concert with a particular set of predicted external events. In short, I'm a singles hitter, not a homerun hitter, but I rarely strike out. My wife is more inclined to swing for the fences.
- Budget for Upcoming Year Here we have a discussion, sort of like the one described above about eating out, for every discretionary spending line. A lot of the budget lines are easy because we have no control and they don't change a lot year-to-year: property tax, insurance, and some utilities are examples. For the others, after reviewing the transaction detail in each budget spending line, we either recommit to cutting spending if we went over our budget in 2011, or we accept 2011's spending and budget more in 2012.
That's it. Best case: Our Summit Meeting can take a couple of hours. Worst case: Sometimes I wonder whether the gavel has yet fallen on our 2002 Summit Meeting.

This tour is currently not running in English. To see the tour in Spanish click here
Come with us and explore one of the neighborhoods with has homed the most artistic and literary geniuses in world history on our Free Art Quarters Tour. A neighborhood in which since the distant 16th century all the great names of Spanish literature have lived, leaving their mark in some way or another.
Learn about the amazing life story of Miguel de Cervantes, the author of the second most translated book in the world after the Bible: "Don Quixote". Hear how he fought with true bravery in the famous battle of Lepanto and lost his right arm, his writing arm, and how despite him writing several very successful books during his lifetime he sadly died a very poor man. Be astonished by the great rivalry he had with Lope de Vega, the most successful writer of that time who died rich - but knew that he was the lesser writer and that eternity would put them both where they belonged.
Laugh at the unbelievable anecdotes of literature's most famous antagonisms: The great ego battle between the two greatest poets of the Spanish Baroque, Quevedo and Góngora, who didn't just write pungent, witty, hurtful sonnets about each other, but also went to great lengths to make each other's life impossible.
Navigate through one of the areas with the highest density of theaters in Europe, discover the importance of drama in the 17th century (also known as the Spanish Golden Century) when a cultural phenomena of such great magnitude took place - one that can only be compared to Hollywood nowadays in terms of the quantity of productions and the cultural importance. Understand the historical context that made it happen: The great Habsburg Empire and the even greater bankruptcies that ruined gold-flooded Spain.
On our Free Art Quarters Tour you will discover a neighbourhood which has become a mandatory pilgrimage to all those who write and love Spanish literature; a place which has been called home by so many of the greatest writers of the Spanish language, one which is so widely spoken throughout the world. A neighbourhood which nowadays has become one of the most culturally proactive areas in Europe - get lost amongst theatres, cafes, musical bars, and the houses of the greatest writers from yesterday, today and tomorrow.
This tour will be operated by our local partners in Madrid

On Sunday, AT&T officially announced its deal to buy DirecTV for $48.5 billion. The deal confirms AT&T's desire to expand beyond existing services currently offered and become more competitive in the markets of cellular, broadband, TV and landline phone services. DirecTV is the number one US satellite TV provider with about 20 million customers.
The deal will allow DirecTV for the first time to offer broadband Internet to its US customers. Previously the company faced competition without being able to provide that service.
AT&T currently offers video service through U-verse which it plans to continue after the deal goes through. AT&T said it expected to be able to add 15 million broadband customers, mostly in the rural areas, within a time period of four years following the closing of the deal. That would add 15 million customers to its existing base of 11 million current Internet customers.
Critics are already questioning the deal and pushing for regulators to reject it, just as they are with the Comcast–Time Warner merger. The reasons are the same, mergers such as these tend to create monopolies and present unfair competition for the smaller companies. Consumers are also affected by the mergers, although to which extent remains to be seen if the deals are approved.
With AT&T's growth being somewhat slow in recent months, this deal raises many questions as to why the company would choose to buy DirecTV now, during a time when subscriptions for satellite TV are also slow as a result of competition from service providers such as Netflix and Hulu which continue to show rapid growth.
As the WSJ points out, the announcement on Sunday puts new pressure on the U.S. government to act as a watchdog for the interests of the American public. Added to that is an element of drama which is being thrown into the concerns. Will the deal go through? And should it? Or is it simply going to be a case of the rich getting richer, at the expense of the public?
The agreement was approved by the board of directors for both companies, and the deal is expected to close within 12 months, pending a regulatory review and full approval from DirecTV's shareholders. AT&T is paying $95 a share, with $66.50 represented by its own shares and $28.50 in cash. Including net debt, the transaction values DirectTV, the biggest satellite-TV provider in the US, at $67.1 billion.
Now we face the decision waiting game again from federal regulators, for yet another proposed service provider monopoly.

Kayser Betten Custom Beds
In 1980, we produced the first functional secure sleep system in Germany for children. The bed, with high side rails, was designed for a boy with cerebral damage and spastic disablement. This first KayserBetten made caring for the boy considerably easier and significantly enhanced his development.For more than 30 years, we have been producing innovative secure sleep systems for children which make the daily care much simpler, whether at home or in a hospital. Today, we distribute KayserBetten worldwide and are one of the leading manufacturer of secure sleep systems for children.
Whether the bed is from our standard program or is purpose-built to meet individual needs. Important features of secure sleep systems for children are the height-adjustability of the sleep platform and the variability of the lying surface. The adjustment functions, via electric motor or hydraulics, simplify the daily care and considerably ease the strain on the caregiver's back. Low-level access helps children to develop and improve their mobility skills, enabling them to climb in and out of their bed independently and safely. Additionally, special beds are often subject to heavy usage and therefore need to be extremely robust - and we know from our experience how to build really sturdy beds.

Army units on Saturday continued operations in a number of provinces, killing and injuring dozens of ISIS and Jabhet al-Nusra terrorists and obliterating their hideouts and weaponry.
Field sources told SANA that the army clashed with terrorist groups affiliated to the Islamic state (ISIS) in the surrounding of Mahin and Hawarin villages to the south-east side of central city of Homs.
The sources added that the clashes ended up with the killing of a number of terrorists and the elimination of their weaponry.
Meanwhile, several ISIS terrorists were killed in the army's operations against their gatherings in al-Dwa and al-Shaer oil field in the western countryside of Tadmur.
In Homs northern countryside, the field sources affirmed that the army destroyed a command-center for terrorists of Jabhat al-Nusra in the surroundings of Housh Haju village in Talbeisah region.

Taken as a percentage of GDP, investment in research by the United States is at the lowest level in decades. Other nations such as Finland and Israel, known for their innovative and entrepreneurial economies, spend far more than the United States. Cuts in research spending won't hurt us now - they will hurt us in a decade or two. The time lag between benefit and cost makes such cuts a tempting political target. Enter the Ryan plan, which plans to cut "non-defense" research spending to trim our budget.
We're in a tough time economically, and our deficit is absolutely out of control. If someone was making the case to me that we just can't afford to increase R&D spending until our fiscal future is secure, I don't think I would find that argument unreasonable, although I wouldn't agree with it. What I do find to be unreasonable is the Republican insistence that the military needs to be spared all forms of spending cuts. It is the epitome of short sighted to cut general research spending in order to maintain our high current levels of military spending.
Mitt Romney plan will cut research spending, but he has promised to increase military spending (for what threat are our current forces insufficient, I wonder). Barack Obama has stated he will not spare the military from a greater plan to fix our budgetary crisis, but has nevertheless urged increased spending on research and development. Americans have been given a choice this election. They can think about the present, or they can think about the future. The central theme of pretty much every history book I've read ever,
is that great national powers which maintain high levels of military spending to the detriment of other areas of the economy quickly cease to be great powers.

"Anyone under the age of 55 has never had a chance to vote on our membership."
