Like any building material, it is always best to evaluate your needs and your goals before committing to a particular material. Green building offers a wide range of options in achieving energy efficiency. When appropriate for your project, straw bale construction has many benefits.
Straw-bale building. What is it?
It is a building technique that uses straw bales (or even hay bales – although it's best to use hay for animal feed) for walls – which can be load-bearing, or used to infill a timber frame. It was pioneered in the US mid-west in the 19th century by farmers whose only building material was the waste from their wheat crop.
The buildings were intended to be temporary until conventional building materials were delivered. However, they found them to be solid, warm and comfortable, and many continued to live in them in preference to traditional houses.

To Infill or Not to Infill...that is the question. To Infill or Not to Infill… ...that is the question by Sigi Koko Strawbale walls can be constructed in two basic ways: loadbearing or infill.
Loadbearing strawbale, which, as its name implies, involves constructing strawbale walls in such way that they support all roof and any second floor structural loads directly on the bales themselves. The first strawbale structures in 19th Century Nebraska were built this way because wood was a scarce commodity. Infill strawbale involves building some independent structural system - stud walls, post-and-beam, etc. - to support all structural loads, and then strawbales are infilled between or around that structural system. So the question is: if you can use the strawbales as your structure, why would you build any other way? Infill strawbale meets the current building codes throughout the U.S.
If you live in a climate where it rains during the construction season, then infill strawbale may make your life less stressful when you build. Newsflash! Strawbale MEETS Current U.S. Building Codes. Newsflash!
Strawbale MEETS Current Building Codes by Sigi Koko I have designed over 20 strawbale buildings, all of which received standard building permits without delays. There seems to be a broad misconception that strawbale construction requires a fight with the local building permit office. Down to Earth Design - online articles on natural building & sustainable design. Straw has been used in various ways as a construction material for as long as there has been agriculture.
Early structures implement straw-clay combinations. The straw provided tensile strength and some insulation value, and gave clay building materials additional structural integrity. Europeans used straw lightly coated with clay slip to infill heavy timber construction. Many examples of both of these techniques survive today. 978-3-89958-422-6.volltext.frei.pdf.

Leilah Devi is a devoted practitioner and teacher of Ashtanga Yoga in the tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. She was introduced to the method and lineage in Colorado in early 2005 by senior teachers Annie Pace, Richard Freeman, and Mary Taylor, and soon traveled to Mysore, India to practice with Pattabhi Jois and Sharat Jois.
Leilah has enjoyed and maintained a disciplined daily Ashtanga practice for nearly a decade and a half. Seeking deep understanding and immersion, she spent several seasons as an integral part of the team at Purple Valley Yoga Center in Goa, India, where she had the unique opportunity to learn from many of the foremost teachers in the lineage. Under the guidance of such teachers as Petri Raisanen, Sharmila Desai, Ty Landrum, Dena Kingsberg, Mark Robberds, Laruga Glaser, and John Scott, Leilah completed Ashtanga's challenging 3rd series in 2012 and began working on the 4th series in 2017. As a resident of Purple Valley, she participated in hundreds of hours of in-depth workshops covering topics from hands-on adjustments and assisting, to pranayama, mantra, and yoga philosophy.
Leilah has completed 200-hour Teachers' Intensives with Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor in 2016, and with Joey Miles and Rachel Woolhouse in 2018. She has assisted her teacher Petri Raisanen on multiple occasions, including during a month-long "informal teacher training" retreat in Thailand in 2010, and completed her first teacher training with Tim Miller in Tulum, Mexico in 2007.
Leilah has been teaching yoga for over a decade. Beginning as a substitute in 2007 when her own teachers traveled to Mysore, she has since taught Ashtanga in the Mysore style in Denver, Portland, Seattle, and Koh Phangan, Thailand. She has received the blessing to teach from certified senior teachers in the lineage. Leilah continues to travel to Mysore, India, to practice at KPJAYI with Paramaguru Sharat Jois.
Leilah's approach to Ashtanga, while authentic, is not dogmatic. She strives to maintain clear communication and preservation of the method while ensuring that the practice is accessible to all. In the Mysore class, she seeks to hold a space that is deeply meditative and calming, yet simultaneously invigorating and transformative.
Leilah is also a personal trainer, specializing in detailed strength and conditioning which includes the use of tools such as kettlebells, barbells, and maces. Her knowledge in this area provides her with a unique perspective as she continues to explore the ways in which yoga and strength training overlap and intersect.
Last but certainly not least, Leilah is ever a student and practitioner of Tantra, from whence Hatha yoga derives and has its roots. A devotee of Shakti, her interests include classical non-dual Shaivite Tantra, Vama Marga and Kaula traditions, Vajrayana Buddhism in the Nyingma Lineage, and Dzogchen.

|Scott helped lead Seattle in this 1-0 Semifinal win versus Dallas last year | Photos: Gerald Barnhart
When Gonzaga University's 2001 All-WCC selection Zach Scott graduated and signed with the then second division Seattle Sounders in 2002, little did he or anyone else know that 10 years later he would be a part of history. Tonight, his Sounders look to become the first team in Lamar Hunt US Open Cup history to win four consecutive championships when they take on Sporting Kansas City on the road at LiveStrong Sporting Park (6:00 pm PT, GolTV).
Though they are on the doorstep of doing something no one else has ever accomplished tonight in the conclusion of the 99th edition of the tournament, the Sounders have already made history as the fourth team to three-peat and are only the third-ever to reach four consecutive finals (Bethlehem Steel, Stix Baer & Fuller).
|Scott celebrates 3-peat with family
And the Hawaii-native Scott, the only player on the current roster that is from or went to school in the state of Washington, has been a key part of everything, particularly the past three years. Having survived the cut from making the transition from USL to MLS in 2009, Scott did not play in any of the four Open Cup games in the first run to the championship, but has seen action in all but three games since. He has increasingly played a bigger factor each year, playing the full 90 in the first two games of the 2010 campaign and played three complete games in the first three of their three-peat campaign a year ago.
This year, the Hawaiian has played in all four games so far and is hoping to take the field for the first time in the championship game.
Scott is part of a defensive unit that in the 16-game unbeaten (15-0-1) streak as an MLS team in the tournament has never allowed more than one goal in any game, posting five shutouts along the way – four of which Scott was a part of.
The Zag product's success in the tournament extends beyond the past four years as he part a major factor in the team's success during the USL era. Scott played in all but one game during his career with the USL First Division team (though one lineup is missing from TheCup.us' records - his first possible game in 2002 v Utah Blitzz). During that span, the Sounders were 11-5-2 (1-1 in pks) with the team suffering its only loss to a lower division team, a 3-2 road defeat to the Carolina Dynamo, when he was not in the lineup. He started in 15 of his 16 confirmed appearances, playing the full game 13 times.
The USL Sounders advanced versus MLS competition five times (4-0-1), including a scoreless showdown with Kansas City in 2008 in which Scott struck the winning penalty kick in the 6-5 tiebreaker decision in the Quarterfinals.
It wasn't the first time Scott found the back of the net. He scored the team's second goal in the 25th minute of a 5-0 victory against the Colorado Rapids in the 2007 Quarterfinals as the team reached the semifinals for the first time since the inception of MLS. Earlier in 2008, he scored three minutes in as the Sounders cruised to a 6-0 win against the USASA's Hollywood United, who had upset rival Portland the previous round.

The Pace of Progress: The Changing Patent Landscape
By Lillian Clementi
The U.S. patent system is broken, says a growing chorus of critics, and the past year has seen significant attempts to fix it in all three branches of the U.S. government. Although it is impossible to predict exactly how these efforts will play out, current trends toward reform could have profound effects on patent practice—and patent translators.
A variety of factors have combined to produce this general commotion. Senator Patrick Leahy, who became chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee after the November 2006 election, lists patent reform as a top priority, making it more likely—though by no means certain—that this year's legislation could succeed where its predecessors have failed. Representative Howard Berman, now chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee responsible for intellectual property, also supports reform as a way to "improve patent quality, deter abusive practices by unscrupulous patent holders, and provide meaningful, low-cost alternatives to litigation." On April 18, bipartisan legislators in both the House and Senate introduced the Patent Reform Act of 2007, which proposes a number of sweeping changes.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has displayed an unusual interest in patent law over the past two terms, issuing a series of high-profile decisions likely to affect both patent attorneys and their translation providers. Finally, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), staggering under a growing backlog of applications and widespread complaints of poor patent quality, has announced a pilot program that will throw open the examination process to a Wikipedia-style community of reviewers.
Congress: Lower Costs, More Predictability
Critics of the current system charge that the bar for patentability is set too low, arguing that many patents granted by the USPTO are invalid, and that poor patent quality has fueled runaway litigation. They also complain that patent litigation is too costly and unpredictable, largely because the current system contains a number of subjective and discovery-intensive features such as the first-to-invent rule.1 If enacted, the Patent Reform Act of 2007 would address these concerns through a number of significant changes, two of which are particularly worth noting.
First to file
Under the new legislation, the U.S. would replace its first-to-invent system, the only one of its kind in the world, with a first-to-file paradigm. Although this represents sweeping change for the system as a whole, its effect on translators working in patent prosecution would probably be minimal, says Charles Van Horn, a partner and head of Patent Prosecution at Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, the world's largest intellectual property-only law firm. Veteran patent translator Nicholas Hartmann agrees. "Most of the material I deal with has been filed in Europe and is already nailed to a foreign priority date," he notes.
Even for translators working in patent litigation, the adoption of a first-to-file system may not have much impact—a counterintuitive idea, since one reason for the change is to reduce the scope and cost of discovery by eliminating disputes over which party was first to invent. "The first impression is that a first-to-file system would reduce the need to translate [inventor's] notebooks," says Anthony Hartmann, a patent litigator with Finnegan Henderson. "However, the scope of discovery would likely still embrace notebooks," since they would be essential for litigating other issues, and both parties would still need to know what was being produced.
Post-Grant Review
The Patent Reform Act of 2007 also creates a post-grant review proceeding that would allow anyone to challenge a patent's validity within 12 months of issue. Proponents argue that post-grant review would help weed out weak patents, raising patent quality and offering a faster, less expensive alternative to litigation—and quite possibly reducing business for patent litigators and the translators who work with them. Critics counter that the change would undermine the statutory presumption of patent validity without addressing more important problems in the examination process. The overall impact for translators is not clear, though reexamination proceedings offer a basis for comparison. "Most foreign reexamination clients come with their documents already translated into English," notes Anthony Hartmann, "but if time pressure is an issue, a client could have the law firm handle translation."
Clash of the Titans
Critics are already warning of unintended consequences, but it remains to be seen whether the Patent Reform Act will ever become law. With billions of dollars at stake, the information technology (IT) and pharmaceutical industries have already begun to square off on opposite sides of the debate. Having invested years of research and development in a small number of highly profitable blockbusters, pharmaceutical companies want the strongest possible patent protection, while the IT industry seeks greater freedom to challenge patents and more protection against paying large damages, especially for unintended violations.
The Supreme Court: Higher Costs, Less Predictability?
To complicate the picture further, legislative efforts toward change may be countered by the judicial branch. Even as patent reform advocates in Congress work for more predictability and lower costs, recent Supreme Court decisions may have exactly the opposite effect.
For most of the past 25 years, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit was the final arbiter for patent matters, but over the past two terms, the U.S. Supreme Court has displayed an unusual interest in intellectual property. In 2006, the justices decided or agreed to hear no fewer than seven patent cases, making it the busiest year for patent law since the mid-1900s; and the high court's interest in patents continued in the first half of 2007. Two cases in particular are worth noting.
Goodbye, Automatic Injunction
The Supreme Court's ruling in eBay Inc. v. MercExchange, handed down in May of 2006, could have a significant impact for both attorneys and translators. Prior to this decision, a plaintiff that prevailed at trial could virtually count on getting a permanent injunction forcing the defendant to stop making and selling the infringing product. Under eBay, however, the plaintiff must now show that it meets a traditional four-factor test to obtain injunctive relief.2
Translators who work in patent litigation are accustomed to regular peaks and troughs in demand over the life of a case: demand is high during discovery, usually peaks again during depositions and shortly before trial, and then disappears unless there is an appeal. However, a session at an American Bar Association (ABA) conference in April featured a mock argument, complete with a district court judge and four attorneys, showing how the four-factor test prescribed by eBay could be argued during a post-verdict hearing. While the long-term impact of eBay is not yet clear, the ABA panelists saw potential for a whole new round of discovery, expert testimony, and even depositions after trial. This in turn could create a new area of demand for translation and interpreting in cases involving foreign-language documents. At the very least, the eBay decision adds a whole new variable to patent litigation, and the net effect for patent holders seems likely to be higher costs and more unpredictability, at least in the short term.
So Long, TSM
In KSR International Co. v. Teleflex Inc., issued in May of this year, the Supreme Court added another dollop of unpredictability by rejecting a test for obviousness that had been used by the Federal Circuit for most of its 25-year history. Under the teaching-suggestion-motivation (TSM) test, a patent could only be rejected as obvious if a challenger showed that the prior art contained a teaching, suggestion, or motivation that would have prompted a person skilled in the art to combine existing products. In KSR, however, the Supreme Court found the TSM test to be too rigid and narrow and adopted a new, more flexible standard for obviousness.3
Observers quoted in Legal Times4 said that the case-by-case approach endorsed by the high court could "increase litigation and the cost of obtaining a patent in the first place," since examiners would now have a freer hand to reject applications as obvious, and that the more flexible standard could "impair the value of previously issued U.S. patents, since it is easier to challenge them in litigation, and to ask the patent office to reconsider the decision to issue." It is still too early to say exactly how KSR will affect translators and their attorney clients, but once again higher costs and more unpredictability seem likely.
The USPTO: Wikipedia-style Review
In yet another move toward reform, the USPTO has announced plans for the Peer to Patent project, an experimental effort to improve patent quality by creating a global community of Wikipedia-style reviewers to help patent examiners focus their search for relevant prior art. At press time, the pilot was slated to launch in mid-June and run for 12 to 18 months.
A number of companies—including such heavy hitters as Microsoft, Intel,
Hewlett-Packard, Oracle and IBM—have already volunteered to have some 250 patent applications reviewed by the Peer to Patent community. According to Rahan Uddin, project manager for Peer to Patent, anyone with expertise in the area of the invention can comment on the applications and upload relevant prior art to an online forum. These postings can then be reviewed by other visitors, who can rate them for relevance and reliability and post their own comments and information. Ultimately, the top 10 items for each application will be forwarded to the examiner at the USPTO, who will make the final decision on patentability.
Peer to Patent proponents say that it will improve patent quality by giving examiners a manageable amount of relevant information that they cannot easily find under the present regime. Skeptics counter that the review process will depend largely on volunteers. Though reviewers will be eligible for prizes and other incentives, they will receive no monetary compensation: their real reward, says Uddin, will be opportunities to network, exchange ideas with their peers, and win notice for their own expertise.
But How Will They Talk to Each Other?
With the review process open to anyone in the world, The ATA Chronicle naturally wondered what provision had been made for translation, and contacted Beth Noveck, a New York Law School professor and one of the chief architects of the project, to find out. "The software is configured to handle multiple character sets," she said. "However, we do not have any technical capacity at present to handle translation. We are going to rely on the community of users to assist with translation during the pilot stage."
In short, foreign-language material will be translated by bilingual volunteers who may or may not have translation credentials or expertise.
This raises a number of questions. How will reviewers judge the quality of translations posted to the forum? Will they evaluate the quality of translated material before the examiner considers it? Will the USPTO have translated material vetted by its in-house translators before the examiner uses it to decide on patentability? Have the developers made any effort to guard against malicious or deliberately distorted translations?
"These are excellent questions, and this is the first time anyone has raised them," Noveck replied. Although the developers considered using translation software, they decided to keep the pilot simple and address translation later. Noveck adds that she expects to explore both human and machine translation options as the project scales up, and that she hopes to involve the translation community as the project develops.
The Right Part of the Haystack
Noveck seems realistic about the limitations of the system. "We'll get some poor input, but the goal is to get material that's good enough to identify the right area of prior art," she says. "Even gisting or summary of foreign material would be useful" if it steers the examiner's search toward the most relevant part of a huge universe of information.
Now What?
As with Congress and the Supreme Court, it is difficult to know exactly how the USPTO's reform effort will play out, but it seems certain that over the next year or two there will be no shortage of entertainment for anyone interested in patents. Stay tuned.
1. Most countries award patents using the first-to-file principle, i.e., the first person who files a patent application on a given innovation is entitled to the patent, even if someone else invented it first, but got to the patent office later. The U.S. currently has a first-to-invent system, which awards the patent to the earlier inventor even if she filed her application later.
2. "According to well-established principles of equity, a plaintiff seeking a permanent injunction must satisfy a four-factor test before a court may grant such relief. A plaintiff must demonstrate: 1) that it has suffered an irreparable injury; 2) that remedies available at law, such as monetary damages, are inadequate to compensate for that injury; 3) that, considering the balance of hardships between the plaintiff and defendant, a remedy in equity is warranted; and 4) that the public interest would not be disserved by a permanent injunction." eBay Inc. v. MercExchange L.L.C., 126 S. Ct. 1837, 1839 (2006). For the full opinion, visit www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/05pdf/05-130.pdf.

All visitors to Portland, ME are encouraged to eat seafood, tour the historic buildings, and visit a whole slew of "must see" attractions while in town. There could easily be an argument that seeing a Covered In Bees show should most certainly be on that list. Since their inception over a decade ago, the Bees have given testament to the fact that they might simply be Portland's best band. Winner of 5 Portland Phoenix Music Awards (Best Punk Act, Best Live Act categories) the band has built a local army of a fanbase who are addicted to the band's tongue in cheek "death punk" sound and their twisted dark humor. As a live act, their show is second to none. Recently the band released their most recent album "Corpse in The Mattress Motor Lodge," which has been received with wide critical acclaim. The band has shared the stage with such acts as the Misfits and their music is featured on WCYY regularly, as well as on a soundtrack for Troma Entertainment (Toxic Avenger Series). Don't miss this one of a kind concert experience. On this night the band presents a special Black Friday Concert. Joining them on the bill is Portland's favorite salsa/mamba rock band El Malo. Show is FREE and ALL AGES!

The Dirt: St. Luke's to open new outpatient clinic in north Spokane; big apartment buildings proposed
Sun., Sept. 25, 2016
A new outpatient clinic operated by St. Luke's Rehabilitation Institute is scheduled to open Oct. 4 in north Spokane.
The site at 235 E. Rowan Ave. will provide therapies and occupational rehabilitation for adults and children. Clinic operations include rehabilitative care for injured workers, orthopedic injuries, neurological disorders and speech evaluation, among other services.
St. Luke's used to have a north Spokane clinic in the Mayfair building, which was destroyed by a 2013 fire. The clinic moved to a temporary space on the Providence Holy Family Hospital campus, but the new 5,000-square-foot space allows for expanded services.
At least nine employees will be based at the location.
Overall, St. Luke's has nine outpatient therapy clinics along with its rehabilitation hospital in Spokane.
Construction begins on new city hall
Spokane Valley's city hall is going up at the southeast corner of Sprague Avenue and Dartmouth Road, within the old University City Mall site.
Meridian Construction, of Spokane Valley, started the $14 million project in May, a price tag that includes construction, taxes, land acquisition, design and furnishings.
The three-story structure and basement will have more than 65,000 square feet of space.
Developers plan big apartment projects
Developers have proposed two large apartment projects – one in Spokane and another in Airway Heights. The owners have sought tax-exempt revenue notes from the Washington state Housing Finance Commission to finance a portion of costs expected to be in the tens of millions of dollars.
Copper River Apartments would be a 240-unit, low-income multifamily complex, at 2911 Fort George Wright Drive.
In Airway Heights, the proposed Basalt Ridge Apartments also would be a 240-unit, low-income multifamily project on two adjacent parcels totaling 13 acres, with a southern border on the extension of West Sixth Avenue.
On a smaller scale, Northrock Island LLC, of Portland, plans to build a 12-unit apartment building south of Hartson Avenue in Spokane.
Duris Construction LLC is listed as contractor for the $1.5 million project, at 712 S. Scott St. near the Perry District. The two-bedroom apartments will have detached garage units, according to planning records.
Flooring store
to lease CdA space
Accent Floors & Design is leasing more than 7,000 square feet of space in Coeur d'Alene.
The company's store is at 6055 N. Sunshine St.
Pat Eberlin, of Kiemle & Hagood, and Craig Hunter, of Coldwell Banker Schneidmiller Realty, were the brokers.

As the globalisation trend continues to grow, so does the opportunity for international business disputes. The use of multi-country business agreements and the opportunity for foreign investments are just some examples of the many relationships that have grown out of our connectivity. According to the '2017 United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) World Report', foreign direct investments increased in several developed countries – including the US – and increased or remained steady in developing countries such as China, India and Russia.
But as investments and other business opportunities spread across the globe, so too does valuable information. Often, persons or businesses located in the US may have information relevant to a foreign business dispute. At the same time, foreign courts may not have the procedural power to compel discovery of those entities. How then can foreign parties obtain the information they need?
The answer lies in the broad discovery practices permitted in the US. In an effort to promote cooperation with foreign courts, US lawmakers have opened US courts to parties with an interest in the outcome of foreign litigation. This article will briefly discuss the basics, pitfalls and benefits of filing a discovery application under 28 U.S.C. § 1782. This seldom used but potent tool can provide foreign litigants with the benefits of US-based discovery in an economical way and without resorting to full-blown litigation.

Contained Turbulence, Study No 1 – Dayton, Ohio – 2013
Following a heavy rain there was an abundance of water going through Huffman Dam, one of five "dry dams" on various tributaries to control flooding of the Great Miami River. The water rushing through the dam made an extremely interesting pattern once slowed down using a long exposure to accentuate it. On this day the potent force of this turbulent water has been contained by the dam, but the sound that was created while making this image was enormous.

More information about Koszalin
Legend has it that Koszalin came up when the warrior Koszala was tilling his ground beside the river Dzierzecinka. This earthly connection remains and the refreshing natural environment is a living testimony.
Koszalin is abounding with parks, woods and stretches of green lands. The Pomeranian Princes Park is the most prominent with its tree count being 120-some of them belonging to the most exotic species. Koszalin Maritime Park in the east is a beautiful forest and falls under the protected zone. Lake Lubiatowskie within city grounds is a noted ornithological reserve. It comprises 300 ha of waters and 70 ha of swamps. Lake Parnowskie and Bielica are two other reserves that dot the city.
Blueberries and mushrooms fill the woods and the schools of fishes in the lakes are an angler's paradise.
Chelmska Hills regale one with a king-size view of all that is admirable in Koszalin. The calmness of the mind and the spirit that one usually finds at an elevated level is an added bonus. A tower was built in 1888, just for this purpose. Apart from the scenery, Chelmska hilltop is widely visited for the St. Mary's Cathedral, dating back to the 14th century. The impressive cathedral houses a Mary icon that is a favorite of the devout, throughout the world.
Boguslawa II Street has a quaint, late-gothic tenement house. It, now doubles as the Wedding Palace. Grodzka Street has another curiosity in the Executioner's house from the 15th century, presently used as the 'Dialog Theatre'. A mill and a miller's tenement house from the 19th century in Mlynska Street is another treat for the architecture minded. It now houses the Regional museum. Chapel built to St. Gertruda, patron saint to travelers, in 1384, is where one finds Scandinavian influence.
Koszalin is a dream-come-true for the culture maven. The Regional Museum, the Philharmonic Orchestra, the Dialog Proposal Theatre, the Municipal Center of Culture are always conducting some event or the other.
Koszalin's Amphitheatre with a seating capacity of 5000 gives them a fierce competition. The Koszalin cultural calendar is chocka-block with a clutch of festivals of international repute. International Festival of Organ Music, World Festival of Boys' Choirs, International Days of Percussion Music, Summer Festival of Cabarets are annual events that both residents and visitors enjoy looking forward to. The International Painting Meetings is held at Osieki, near Koszalin.
The sport freaks have some charming hike routes, both on wheels and on foot, cut out for them. The trail from Koszalin to Mielno is much talked about. Tatras Shackles (yellow route) is a cute walk through moraine hills. The red route of Józef Chrzaszczynski takes one to the Lake Lubiatowskie. The blue route begins at Koszalin city center, goes through the hills to Sianów. This 8 km long, line of beauty is a test of endurance with smashing on way sceneries as the reward.

Induction cooktop are one of the blockbusters in technology. Some of the type of cooktop is very sophisticated, yet it is used by most restaurants and even homes are using it. Unlike gas stove and electric stove, the induction cooktop utilizes electromagnetism that quickly heats up pans and pots. It completes the cooking task faster. Induction cooktop is such a kind of kitchen appliance that combines pulsating magnetic energy in order to produce heat. Having this induction, the generated heat can be used right into the cooking pan rather than using electric coils or flammable gas.
Top 5 Benefits of Using Induction Cooktop
Thought, it may be a little expensive than your regular cooking equipment, the benefits that you can get from investing on it are many. One of the best examples on this is that it offers a refreshing style and design that will immediately better the interior design of your kitchen.
There are 5 main benefits of induction cooktop and they are mentioned below. We have explained all the benefits below, do check out.
#1 Speed
The speed of cooking is the biggest selling point of this cooking appliance. It takes lesser time in cooking food as it heats up faster. Just in negative point to the electric and gas cooktops, an induction cooktop do not need any of the another medium to transfer heat, but rather it produce heat straight in the pan. It also creates electromagnetic activity that heats up the pan quicker. Since the pan heats up faster, cooking will take up to 50% lesser time.
#2 Energy efficiency
Induction cookware is more energy efficiency as compared to electric and gas in terms of the heating processes. The heat is produced in the pan because of induction, so the heat easily gets into the food. Being energy efficient will save energy consumption and reduce power bills. However, it does not create too much heat in your kitchen; thus, you won't sweat while cooking. Since there's no heat loss, the possibility of accidents is at bay.
#3 Safety
The induction cooktop has no apparent flame on its top and no gas leaks. Likewise, touching the stove top won't burn your hands because it does not get hot at all. The time the gas is turned on, the dial the pan heats up quicker just as swift as cooling down when the dial is turned off. In the same way, cooking vegetable can be done in a easier way
#4 Control
The induction cooktop is controlled and very responsive in which you can easily adjust the dial to achieve the desired temperature. It also features more settings such as temperature increments, better performance and precise heat control. Cooking in this cooktop in low setting never falters.
#5 Cleaning
Easily cleaning the cooktop is very great same as fast cooking. Induction cooktop gets the dinner on the table safer and faster. At the same time, cleaning up the stove top is never a big deal. The burning of the top is impossible because the stove top does not get very hot. This proves that simply running of sponge on the top is enough to clean up the spill.
Those benefits mentioned above are huge pluses for the induction cooktop, but the price is a big deal. But for longer time span, it is worthy to invest in this cooking appliance. Induction cooktop is also safe to use even with kids around while cooking. The children are very much interested in such things so safety is a must.
The surface of the cooktop stays cool and the heat doesn't need to transfer the heat to any medium. Thus it is a safe cooking appliance. So, these are some of the good benefits over using it.

With various coaches and their respected styles of teaching, we'll be able to focus on the kids; outlining goals, and how to achieve them. This 3 day program will be a great way to lead into the upcoming season.Each day will be filled with sessions of strength and mental, focusing on general fitness as a base leading into sport specific training.

The Primeval
Rhythm Of Life
The Primeval Rhythm Of Life is the other debut of the intimidating and tremendously funky Exotica project called Mandingo, released on Capitol Records in 1973, whereas their album Sacrifice of the same year was handed in to the EMI Columbia label. Even though it is valuable to have all four of Mandingo's original albums, this one is clearly the best for reasons I will synopsize in the final paragraph. In the 70's, when Exotica slowly deceased, only to be rekindled for a short moment by Nino Nardini's and Roger Roger's masterpiece Jungle Obsession in 1971, a short-lived craze about all things Africa took place, as usual Americanized through the eyes of Hollywood, be it the first James Bond flick with Afro-Americans in the spotlight, Live And Let Die of 1973, or the incessant rise of the Funk theme whose tenuous beginnings were already planted in the late 60's.
One British band leader called Geoff Love (1917–1991) recognized the signs of the time. Having played in Easy Listening bands such as the poetically named Manuel And The Music Of The Mountains before, he decided to go into a totally different direction. With the help of producer Norman Newell (1919–2004), he gathered session musicians around him, got hold of talented song writers and unleashed a highly explosive mixture of exotic drums, gigantic brass layers and electronic devices. While Geoff Love achieved this on every album, it is The Primeval Rhythm Of Life where this concept is brought to life… and then beyond! It is unbelievable how aggressive, hot-tempered, steamy and full-blooded this release is. Mandingo could be the next of kin to the crazy stage persona of Leon Johnson aka Chaino, but are much more versatile due to their manpower. Read more about the ten original takes below, and why the invoked voodoo spell is as strong and convincing now as it was back in the 70's.
The first track of the debut bakes the band name into its title: Mandingo is the first of two compositions by musical director Brian Fahey and should be famous for the darkest prologue the Exotica genre has ever witnessed! Muffled drums stomp eerily through the pitch-black nothingness, grow louder and become increasingly clearer with each passing second. A tribal bongo and conga placenta is wired around the 4/4 drum beat. Dawn sets in; aqueous marimba droplets and acidic electric guitars change the soundscape into something Mandingo is known for to this day. Funk and Exotica mesh into an intriguing cocktail. The cinematic scope of the song widens, it now presents a wide steppe with frizzling maracas, brass scents, synthetic clangs and plinking particles, letting the opener end on a savage, highly energetic note. What a blast right at the beginning! The drums are downright intimidating, the whole setting full of bile. Mandingo (the song) might get a tad brighter during its course, but remains in murky territories, as Fahey and the session musicians make no compromises.
The following Black Rite is contributed by Tony Page and launches with a euphoric euphony and a sizzling-hot fever. Hammond B3 organs, orchestra bells and brass stabs conflate with wah-wah guitars, a silky lead saxophone and a temple block-interspersed bongo groove. The electric guitar is allowed to flow much more freely in the middle section, with spy theme-evoking Doppler effect legato trumpets accentuating the cymbal-heavy concoction. This is British Big Beat circa 1973! While film scorer Roger Webb's quirky staccato anthem Medicine Man launches with screeching synthetic two-note sirens and puts the brass players to the forefront for the first time on this album, Tony Osborne's Jungle Wedding mocks its title by unleashing a hyperventilating drum thicket in close proximity to paradisiac flutes, hammering electric pianos and wonky electric guitars which gleam in a bedazzling fashion. This is the perfect song for jogging. It feels like a whole group of blood-thirsty savages is behind you. Side A closes with Osborne's second offering Chant Of The Virgins, and even though it launches with an evening dreaminess of polyphonous flutes, croaking guiros, sunset-lit marimbas and electric guitar riffs of the Balearic kind, the rise of the violins and brass sections as well as a further percussion-related complexity boosts the majesty. After a proper full stop, the tempo changes into a car chase frenzy with bone-crushing drums and deeply droning horns. Absolutely wild!
Side B opens with Tony Page's Sacrifice, a nod to Mandingo's eponymous debut on the EMI Columbia label of the same year. It is an entirely new track, though, that launches with a mellower set of percussion instruments: maracas, claves and bongos. The ensuing concrete jungle atmosphere full of metropolitan car horn-like brass eruptions and piano rumblings clashes with cacophonous bassoons and farting tubas. Only the drum thicket and the screeching alto flute in the middle and the very end of this song remind of the savage setting. Brian Fahey's Tiger In The Night surprises with dreamy strings and nocturnal vibraphone droplets. A certain uneasiness and melodrama can never be fend off… and it doesn't need to, for a rhythmic change allows a roaring tiger and the eclectic drum patterns to electrify the listener. As great the inclusion of the tiger and the wah-wah guitars are, they do not fit with the distinct string setting which is far too melancholic. A rare dud, but nonetheless greatly arranged.
Whereas Tony Osborne's Black Fire resurrects that Space-Age feeling with chirping laser sounds, synthetic Moog jawbone modulations, mysterious cueca shakers, double bass-backings and further augmentions of this perception thanks to a heart attack-provoking beats full of cyber birds and elastic sound blebs, Roger Webb's following Moon Goddess launches in the way Black Fire ended, with a Chinese gong that leads to one of the sleazy Lounge themes Mandingo is otherwise known for as well. The drums are in the foreground, but less multifaceted, as the flutes and dark brass tones are in the limelight here. The mood is one of a kind, though: it is expectedly pompous, but also keeps a solemnity and good-natured peacefulness intact which is unexpected. The arrangement of Moon Goddess lives up to the dreamy title. A very good downbeat piece that does not feel like one. The possibly overly shifting outro Pagan Ritual by Tony Osborne reintroduces lava-like organ rivers for the last time and injects them into Spanish brass flourishes, Space-Age slivers, cacophonous warbled flutes, deep pianos and one too many rhythmic shifts. The lacunar structure is by this point tiresome, the melodies feel like foreshadowing devices of mid-90's video game compositions, but are not memorable enough to catch up.
The Primeval Rhythm Of Life ends on a lackluster note due to its final two tracks, but even those are detailed and intimidating. And the string of eight compositions before them is even better and wilder. This is Mandingo's wildest album, the session musicians really do not take any hostages, the impetus of the horns, the wrath and voluminosity of the cracking drums as well as the scents of dreaminess delivered by the marimbas and flutes is superb. In contrast to Mandingo's other three original albums (the fifth one is a Best Of), The Primeval Rhythm Of Life surprises with deliberately horrifying and almost serious compositions. Sure, there are funky wah-wah guitars on here, and flashes of euphony as well as jocular tone sequences and Space-Age sceneries are on board as well, but the mission is clear: coming up with frantic African drum sections and Jericho horns primarily, everything else is of secondary importance.
The coherence is also remarkable, for despite the many rhythmic changes and shedloads of used instruments, the aura of bloodlust and adventure is ubiquitously in the air. If there is one slight problem regarding this release, it is its no-compromise approach, as stated before. There are not that many gossamer moments of tranquility, each track of every composer serves the purpose of transporting the listener into a bestial faux-world of mayhems, mishaps and megalomania. It is truly hard to pick a favorite, and even the two or three ignis fatuus of this album do not crush its pompousness at all. If you are searching for a funky Exotica album that is so wild and frantic that it elbows everything out of its way (except maybe Chaino's Jungle Echoes of 1959), you have found it. Each tune proves to be exquisitely compatible for running or workout playlists. Heck, clean the house while listening to it and a bumfuzzled hodgepodge ensues.
Is it Mandingo's best album? From a stylistic viewpoint and taking the novelty as well as the overarching verve or esprit into account, by all means: yes! However, their other albums all provide gemstones and über-strong hits I do not want to miss, be it the aforementioned Sacrifice (1973), Mandingo III (1974) or Savage Rite (1975), although each of them has its peculiar flaws. These may even turn out to be the better choices if the constant rhythm changes and the hazardous energy are a bit too much. The later albums are decidedly funkier and still exotic enough to consider them equipollent entries in the genre. The Primeval Rhythm Of Life is available on iTunes and Amazon in a remastered version which I deem very great. The remastering process that took place in 1995 has not destroyed anything at all. Go get it if you don't know it yet!

A NBA Championship might be hard to come by but making the playoffs isn't impossible but you need more than just a bunch of alright players, especially a bunch of alright, soft, offense only (B grade at best) players. Of course the Warriors will be better without last year's undersized backcourt and with a defensive center, Andrew Bogut (7'0, 260), but there is still work to be done. Having a Star makes making the playoffs a lot easier. I have put together an easy to follow three part plan to make the Golden State Warriors a 2nd round playoff team for the next five years with a Star that Stephen Curry (6'3, 185) can complement. Yes, Curry on defense will still get blown by opposing players but the Warriors will feature 4 of the baddest men the NBA could find next to him (to cover for his defensive lapses) on this Top 5 defensive team featuring the best defensive closing unit in all of basketball with muscles on top of muscles on top of muscles.
The Warriors have to most effectively use all of their pieces in this year's draft to land the two the players they want, not just draft a bunch of riff raff. The first player is a Star Big Man, a Big Scoring Power Forward, being my number 1 pick, Thomas Robinson (6'7-6'10, 235). He might even slip all the way to the Warriors number 7 draft spot but the Warriors have to be aggressive, work the phones, gather intel on where he is going to go and trade up to get him if need be. The Warriors have that 7th pick plus the last pick of the first round, the 30th pick (pretty much paying first round money for a second round guy), Dorell Wright (who wants out and the Warriors are just more than happy to help with a $4.1 Million expiring contract) and two 2nd rounders, 36th and 52nd.
After Thomas Robinson has been acquired the Warriors need to take the leftover pieces plus David Lee and trade them for a new small forward. We all know Danny Granger and Rudy Gay are on the market but they won't fix anything but score 20 points per game demanding shots. There is yet another small forward being offered non-stop with more letters in his name and muscles on his body than almost anybody while being a shutdown defender and a team player. Yes, I am speaking of the Philadelphia 76ers Andre Iguodala (6'6, 207)! Think about it, Andrew Bogut, Thomas Robinson, Andre Iguodala, Klay Thompson (6'7, 205) and Stephen Curry to start.
Now I would love to trade Lee for Josh Smith who could be a Top 10 or even a Top 5 player. Of course he would have to be coached correctly, properly motivated and somewhat well behaved. Then plug him in at small forward, his real position, but there is no way the Atlanta Hawks will take Lee and even Wright, 30th, 36th and 52nd pick for their only real trad-able asset. They will want that 7th pick just to start a conversation. And the Warriors have to be smart and realize even thought I love Josh Smith, he is ready to explode and kill everyone at any moment so it could blow up in thier face. While nothing gets to Robinson who lost his grandmother, grandfather, and mother all within three weeks of each other and still dominated. Besides that Robinson and Iguodala will help lot more than Lee and Smith. Plus after acquiring Robinson the 3rd move will be a lot easier.
Fellow Kansas Alum, Brandon Rush (6'6, 225), must be resigned. So the best defensive closing unit in all of basketball with muscles on top of muscles on top of muscles will feature Andrew Bogut, Thomas Robinson, Andre Iguodala, Brandon Rush and Stephen Curry. Tell me anybody who wants to play against that team? Even Dwyane Wade and LeBron James can't muscle their way to the basket against these guys! Welcome to Shut Down Defense and Hard Fouls NBA, now you can feel the Oaktown Flavor (well I did say five years).
Golden State Warriors, stop overvaluing your own guys. Where is that getting you? Not to the playoffs, that much is for sure. But I already know what the Warriors are going to do. Who is the softest, offense only, never going to be a Star available at 7th? Hello, Ohio State's Jared Sullinger (6'9, 280) or for their backup choice the equally nondescript Harrison Barnes (6'8, 210). Sounds like more Mike Dunleavy Logic.
Stay tuned for 2012 NBA Draft Predictions: Part 4 – Charlotte Hornets 2.0 coming tomorrow. (Yes, I do mean Charlotte Hornets 2.0 since the Charlotte Hornets 1992-1995 will be recreated by another team.)

Perfect Love
Perfect Love
Mark 6:34-44
"Give them some food yourselves."
Last night I gave a young lady some food, as she huddled under her blanket, and she smiled and said: "You are giving me communion!" And for me each piece of food I give is the body of Jesus, becoming flesh in the person given the food.
She told me that this was all she had to eat all day. Studies show that nearly one in four people go hungry each day in San Francisco, they lack nourishment. The wealthiest City in the nation, and people go hungry. People walked by her last night with food in their hands and simply ignored her.
Jesus did not care much about appearances. The first line of the gospel demonstrates his care: Jesus heart was moved with pity, He felt compassion for people who were suffering. His immediate response was to feed both their spiritual and physical hunger. Jesus fed them with loaves and fishes through the people present. Each shared of what he or she had and there was enough. He also demonstrated and revealed the deeper sustenance that comes from God's word and the promise of God's enduring love.
So we are to do the same. To love one another without regard to race, creed, social or economic standing, gender or sexual orientation. For we are all the same.
We are called to be the love that Jesus so perfectly demonstrated to the world.
The people in Washington D.C. this week who are demonstrating in Witness Against Torture are being the love of Jesus to the world. Lifting up the pain of people on Guantanamo Bay and our neglect of them.
We can be the love of Christ each time we eat in a restaurant by having our left over food boxed up and giving it to a homeless person; we can take our left overs at home and give out. We can keep candy bars on us and give as we move through our daily routine. Simple ways of demonstrating the love of Jesus.
Personally I have given up hope of our government doing very much, but where hope for me comes from is in each person who reaches out and feeds the hungry, one by one, builds a majority who can change the world, Feed some one today!

Fiametta, or, The Salamander: An Excursion To Get Raped, Envying Eva Braun
by Elizabeth Evangeline
When you said you got hysterical I guess I didn't take it seriously. Or I thought: I can stick anything out for a few hours. A day. Now I hear you pulling down my shelves from three floors below I can hear you spoiling the milk with one finger. I can hear you letting the chickens out I can hear you putting cake all over yrself and leaving chocolate tracks. When you took out yr eye and rolled it around yr palm I got prickles like I walked in on Baba Yaga. You smear lipstick a long way across yr face to say yr born naturally born bad: when you were little you poured out yr apple juice. As a girl you never wore shirts. In the employ of the Grim Reaper you resuscitated people. You say yr selves peel away like a root vegetable and in the center is. You say. Walking down to the bus terminal dressed in a miniskirt and crop top red lips faking drunk messed up yr hair before you left the house poured wine down yr own back in New York an I <3 NY shirt in California Cali Life, faking tourism. Turning corners you sing to yrself conspicuously. In the gas station seeking novelty items like fishnets a naked babe lighter those platform styrene shoes anything with tassels or a cork a PBR hat a beach cover-up neon pink a tall plastic cup with a built-in curly straw, blue. Do you believe in the Power Of Language or something? Cause yr apartment, three blocks away, holds something left long on your laptop desktop. Are you hoping it will speak after you? Do you secretly wish someone would look over the details like a lady scholar goes through the artifacts of Marilyn or Eva Braun-- Loving her, wondering about her. How she collected feathers and seashells. How she asked several women and her doctor about the best food for golden retrievers. She fed Goldie corn-on-the-cob at the cookout last year, throwing it from the grill like a parade queen on her float like the sweeping arm of an applauded ice skater, royal, the promenade, opening night or a secret gesture to the faeries like an Olympic runner points skyward after every set of hurdles. Eva is told to have taken oils in her coffee red ribbons on her teddy bears deep thumbs under the shoulder blades for back massage. "For you, missus, we'll keep lipstick legal." Coral, fuchsia, carnation. For plane show tarmac, opening bugles of field day, sarongs in the city in the summer. Turning in the white bubble bath tub to expose wide hips rosehips crystal champagne gold scallops claw feet tall candles like sentries the palms high outside feather fingers of inside palms walking prints down her neck spine lumbar dimples backs of the thighs circling her little brown openings the pads of her feet like a fantastic tiger the full rags of moon blood stepped out of shorts left beside the cream teacup of soak. Her toes showing above the water. Stalks of lilac moving like cat tails or slow-swaying like coat tails. Clear-white stars rising from her open blouse to hover the on surface of the water outside the Gattlings the high moon rises ashes settling on the roof pink places where acid rain met the grain of the tin in a corrugated wave over the silo where we hid away to kiss each other ages thirteen and fourteen the cats walked overhead yr lighter fell out of yr pocket on the way here garnering curiosity from the local fauna it was orange and smelled like honey from being in yr pocket so close to yr pussy yr fingernails like light peppermint sticks candles would burn down this straw say the clove knobs of my eyes saying my pockets of broken lead all led to this. Shoe slipping off the shelf where I lay you down. Can see the books in yr open backpack one is calculus for school the other a thin white volume that's none of my business a pack of lilac gum saddle shoes to return home spotless to indicate you didn't stop off nowhere but indeed stayed late in the classroom with Norma Mary Joy Mary Lou and Colette four girls very concerned with anaerobic biology.
