Digger Wasps
Also known as cicada killers, these solitary insects prefer to burrow in sandy soil and hunt cicadas to feed their young. Although they typically avoid conflict with humans, their intimidating size can be off-putting. Let us handle these natural burrowers for you.

With a sting ranked as one of the most painful in the insect world, these large, blue-black wasps prey on tarantulas. While they are not typically aggressive to humans, a chance encounter can be extremely painful. We can help keep these formidable predators at a safe distance.
Mud Daubers
These solitary wasps construct nests of mud on the sides of buildings and are generally non-aggressive but can become a nuisance when they establish themselves on your property. Our team can effectively eliminate and prevent Mud dauber infestations.

Humankind has always adapted and improved technology to make life easier, starting all the way back at fire and the wheel. Nowadays, our approach to making life easier through technology is centered around productivity and security. If we can accomplish more than before, in the same amount of time, without worrying that it will be stolen, we're happy.
This, in addition to the growing assortment of threats there are to business networks, is why network security is projected to continue its growth and development in the near future. Here, we've compiled a few predictions for how this growth and development will take shape.
Prediction 1: Penetration testing will happen more often than ever, thanks to A.I. and automation.
Penetration testing is an invaluable process, as it allows you to identify weak points in your network security that your staff may have missed. By hiring an external third party, you make it much more likely that errors and oversights made by your internal staff are noticed. The trade-offs: not only is it a time-intensive process, it can be expensive enough that it can only be justifiably run once a year, if that.
However, this may not be the case for much longer. The integration of new technologies, like artificial intelligence and automation, have made it so that both of these trade-offs have less and less effect on the frequency of penetration testing. This is a good thing, because the rate at which new technology is being integrated into the office is rising. Penetration testing is to be run more often to ensure network security.
Prediction 2: Unified policies will appear that bridge between public and private clouds.
Cloud technology has been advancing, with both private cloud solutions and public cloud solutions proving useful for so many applications. This has led to a widespread move to leverage both to accomplish different aspects of business goals and strategies in adopting what is called a hybrid cloud solution. However, one shortcoming of hybrid clouds is that there aren't any real means of consolidating security policies to simplify management as a part of a larger system.
Once again, this may soon change. It is anticipated that multi-cloud management platforms will be able to synchronize private clouds and those provided to the public through a single control panel, greatly simplifying the cloud management process.
Prediction 3: Endpoint security will be more on point.
It should come as no surprise that the greatest internal threat to your security is your own team and their devices. Using social engineering and leveraging the notoriously unreliable security of consumer devices, cybercriminals are often able to access your network through the employees who use it. While many companies have taken steps to minimize the efficacy of these methods, there hasn't really been a single, unified solution, making security measures extra time-consuming to manage.
This last point is most likely to change in the near future, as businesses will want a security solution that is leaner, more efficient, and is only one thing to be managed. It is likely that we'll see these kinds of network security solutions start to take shape and be put to use.
In order to remain secure, you need to adapt to meet the threats that are constantly developing. CTN Solutions can help. Reach out to us at (610) 828- 5500 for more information.

form_for(record, options = {}, &block)
Creates a form that allows the user to create or update the attributes of a specific model object.
The method can be used in several slightly different ways, depending on how much you wish to rely on Rails to infer automatically from the model how the form should be constructed. For a generic model object, a form can be created by passing form_for a string or symbol representing the object we are concerned with:
<%= form_for :person do |f| %> First name: <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
 Last name : <%= f.text_field :last_name %>
 Biography : <%= f.text_area :biography %>
 Admin? : <%= f.check_box :admin %>
 <%= f.submit %> <% end %>
The variable f yielded to the block is a FormBuilder object that incorporates the knowledge about the model object represented by :person passed to form_for. Methods defined on the FormBuilder are used to generate fields bound to this model. Thus, for example,
<%= f.text_field :first_name %>
will get expanded to
<%= text_field :person, :first_name %>
which results in an html <input> tag whose name attribute is person[first_name]. This means that when the form is submitted, the value entered by the user will be available in the controller as params[:person][:first_name].
For fields generated in this way using the FormBuilder, if :person also happens to be the name of an instance variable @person, the default value of the field shown when the form is initially displayed (e.g. in the situation where you are editing an existing record) will be the value of the corresponding attribute of @person.
The rightmost argument to form_for is an optional hash of options -
:url - The URL the form is to be submitted to. This may be represented in the same way as values passed to url_for or link_to. So for example you may use a named route directly. When the model is represented by a string or symbol, as in the example above, if the :url option is not specified, by default the form will be sent back to the current url (We will describe below an alternative resource-oriented usage of form_for in which the URL does not need to be specified explicitly).
:namespace - A namespace for your form to ensure uniqueness of id attributes on form elements. The namespace attribute will be prefixed with underscore on the generated HTML id.
:html - Optional HTML attributes for the form tag.
Also note that form_for doesn't create an exclusive scope. It's still possible to use both the stand-alone FormHelper methods and methods from FormTagHelper. For example:
<%= form_for :person do |f| %> First name: <%= f.text_field :first_name %> Last name : <%= f.text_field :last_name %> Biography : <%= text_area :person, :biography %> Admin? : <%= check_box_tag "person[admin]", "1", @person.company.admin? %> <%= f.submit %> <% end %>
This also works for the methods in FormOptionHelper and DateHelper that are designed to work with an object as base, like FormOptionHelper#collection_select and DateHelper#datetime_select.
#form_for with a model object
In the examples above, the object to be created or edited was represented by a symbol passed to form_for, and we noted that a string can also be used equivalently. It is also possible, however, to pass a model object itself to form_for. For example, if @post is an existing record you wish to edit, you can create the form using
<%= form_for @post do |f| %> ... <% end %>
This behaves in almost the same way as outlined previously, with a couple of small exceptions. First, the prefix used to name the input elements within the form (hence the key that denotes them in the params hash) is actually derived from the object's class, e.g. params[:post] if the object's class is Post. However, this can be overwritten using the :as option, e.g. -
<%= form_for(@person, as: :client) do |f| %> ... <% end %>
would result in params[:client].
Secondly, the field values shown when the form is initially displayed are taken from the attributes of the object passed to form_for, regardless of whether the object is an instance variable. So, for example, if we had a local variable post representing an existing record,
<%= form_for post do |f| %> ... <% end %>
would produce a form with fields whose initial state reflect the current values of the attributes of post.
Resource-oriented style
In the examples just shown, although not indicated explicitly, we still need to use the :url option in order to specify where the form is going to be sent. However, further simplification is possible if the record passed to form_for is a resource, i.e. it corresponds to a set of RESTful routes, e.g. defined using the resources method in config/routes.rb. In this case Rails will simply infer the appropriate URL from the record itself. For example,
<%= form_for @post do |f| %> ... <% end %>
is then equivalent to something like:
<%= form_for @post, as: :post, url: post_path(@post), method: :patch, html: { class: "edit_post", id: "edit_post_45" } do |f| %> ... <% end %>
And for a new record
<%= form_for(Post.new) do |f| %> ... <% end %>
is equivalent to something like:
<%= form_for @post, as: :post, url: posts_path, html: { class: "new_post", id: "new_post" } do |f| %> ... <% end %>
However you can still overwrite individual conventions, such as:
<%= form_for(@post, url: super_posts_path) do |f| %> ... <% end %>
You can also set the answer format, like this:
<%= form_for(@post, format: :json) do |f| %> ... <% end %>
For namespaced routes, like admin_post_url:
<%= form_for([:admin, @post]) do |f| %> ... <% end %>
If your resource has associations defined, for example, you want to add comments to the document given that the routes are set correctly:
<%= form_for([@document, @comment]) do |f| %> ... <% end %>
Where @document = Document.find(params[:id]) and @comment = Comment.new.
Setting the method
You can force the form to use the full array of HTTP verbs by setting
method: (:get|:post|:patch|:put|:delete)
in the options hash. If the verb is not GET or POST, which are natively supported by HTML forms, the form will be set to POST and a hidden input called _method will carry the intended verb for the server to interpret.
Unobtrusive JavaScript
remote: true
in the options hash creates a form that will allow the unobtrusive JavaScript drivers to modify its behavior. The expected default behavior is an XMLHttpRequest in the background instead of the regular POST arrangement, but ultimately the behavior is the choice of the JavaScript driver implementor. Even though it's using JavaScript to serialize the form elements, the form submission will work just like a regular submission as viewed by the receiving side (all elements available in params).
<%= form_for(@post, remote: true) do |f| %> ... <% end %>
The HTML generated for this would be:
<form action='http://www.example.com' method='post' data-remote='true'>
 <input name='_method' type='hidden' value='patch' />
 ... </form>
Setting HTML options
You can set data attributes directly by passing in a data hash, but all other HTML options must be wrapped in the HTML key. Example:
<%= form_for(@post, data: { behavior: "autosave" }, html: { name: "go" }) do |f| %> ... <% end %>
The HTML generated for this would be:
<form action='http://www.example.com' method='post' data-behavior='autosave' name='go'>
 <input name='_method' type='hidden' value='patch' />
 ... </form>
Removing hidden model id's
The form_for method automatically includes the model id as a hidden field in the form. This is used to maintain the correlation between the form data and its associated model. Some ORM systems do not use IDs on nested models so in this case you want to be able to disable the hidden id.
In the following example the Post model has many Comments stored within it in a NoSQL database, thus there is no primary key for comments.
<%= form_for(@post) do |f| %> <%= f.fields_for(:comments, include_id: false) do |cf| %> ... <% end %> <% end %>
Customized form builders
You can also build forms using a customized FormBuilder class. Subclass FormBuilder and override or define some more helpers, then use your custom builder. For example, let's say you made a helper to automatically add labels to form inputs.
<%= form_for @person, url: { action: "create" }, builder: LabellingFormBuilder do |f| %> <%= f.text_field :first_name %> <%= f.text_field :last_name %> <%= f.text_area :biography %> <%= f.check_box :admin %> <%= f.submit %> <% end %>
In this case, if you use this:
<%= render f %>
The rendered template is people/_labelling_form and the local variable referencing the form builder is called labelling_form.
The custom FormBuilder class is automatically merged with the options of a nested fields_for call, unless it's explicitly set.
In many cases you will want to wrap the above in another helper, so you could do something like the following:
def labelled_form_for(record_or_name_or_array, *args, &block) options = args.extract_options! form_for(record_or_name_or_array, *(args << options.merge(builder: LabellingFormBuilder)), &block) end
If you don't need to attach a form to a model instance, then check out FormTagHelper#form_tag.
Form to external resources
When you build forms to external resources sometimes you need to set an authenticity token or just render a form without it, for example when you submit data to a payment gateway number and types of fields could be limited.
To set an authenticity token you need to pass an :authenticity_token parameter
<%= form_for @invoice, url: external_url, authenticity_token: 'external_token' do |f| ... <% end %>
If you don't want to an authenticity token field be rendered at all just pass false:
<%= form_for @invoice, url: external_url, authenticity_token: false do |f| ... <% end %>
Nested resources in form_for
If you like doing things RESTfully and have a model relationship like:
Post_ has many Comments_
Then you can construct a form_for within your view to mirror this relationship when creating comments:
form_for [@post, @comment] do |f| ... end
You also need to make sure your routes reflect this relationship:
map.resources :post, :has_many => [:comments]
Multipart form
Don't forget to add :multipart => true if you have file upload in your form.
<% form_for "user", :html => { :multipart => true } do |f| %>
Getting the object in a partial
If you need to get the object for the form inside a partial, and can't use the instance variable, use the #object method… This is particularly useful when you're dealing with single-table inheritance subclasses (e.g. MyOtherClass inherits from MyClass) or when you are using the same partial across different controllers.
<% form_for(@my_object) do %> <%= render :partial => 'form' %> <%= submit_tag 'Create' %> <% end %>
<% if f.object.class.is_a? MyClass %> <%# do something... %> <% elsif f.object.is_a? MyOtherClass %> <%# do something else... %> <% end %>
Compare old and new form for
Old form for
<% form_for :user, :url => users_path do %> <%= render :partial => 'form' %> <%= submit_tag 'Create' %> <% end %>
New form for
<% form_for(@user) do |f| %> <%= render :partial => f %> <%= submit_tag 'Create' %> <% end %>
Seriously! Do not forget the brackets
thank you source jamesandre.ws
the form_for([:admin, @user]) must have the [] brackets to avoid errors like "Only get requests are allowed"
<% form_for([:admin, @user]) do |f| %> <%= render :partial => 'form' %> <%= submit_tag "Create" %> <% end %>
has_one Nesting in Rails 2.0
map.resources :user, :has_one => [:avatar]
form_for [@user, @avatar], :url => user_avatar_url(@user) do |f| ... end
Adding to the URL
If you want to use polymorphic routing for your object but you also need to specify other stuff like an anchor, you can explicitly generate the polymorphic url with extra options:
form_for @candidate, :url => polymorphic_path(@candidate, :anchor => 'signup')
params hash gets the model id automatically
The params hash gets automatically populated with the id of every model that gets passed to form_for. If we were creating a song inside an existing album:
URL:/albums/209/songs/new form_for [@album, @song] do |f| ... f.submit "Add" end
The params hash would be:
params = {"commit"=>"Add", "authenticity_token"=>"...", "album_id"=>"209", "song"=>{"song_attributes"=>{...}} }
So, in the songs_controller you could use this album_id in a before_filter:
before_filter :find_album protected def find_album @album = Album.find(params[:album_id]) end
If you only did this:
form_for @song do |f|
You would get this params hash:
params = {"commit"=>"Add", "authenticity_token"=>"...", "song"=>{"song_attributes"=>{...}} }
The :method goes in the :html option
When using a restful form helper and you want to use a method other than POST, remember to put the :method in the :html option.
e.g. To send a DELETE request instead of the usual POST (with a nested resource thrown in for good measure) use:
<% form_for [@post, @comment], :html => { :method => :delete } do |f| -%>
:url conflicts with :format
If you are passing both :url and :format, url overwrites the use of format, so you'll need to pass it in the url like so:
form_for user, :url => user_path(@user, :format => :json)
form_for with namescope and polymorphic path
<%= form_for([:namescope_name, @object], :url => polymorphic_path([:namescope_name, @objectable, @object])) do |form| %>
for the routes.
namescope :admin do
resources :articles do resources :comments end resources :photos do resources :comments end
<%= form_for([:admin, @comment], :url => polymorphic_path([:admin, @commentable, @comment])) do |form| %>
Note : @commentable = find_commentable

<input name="authenticity_token" type="hidden" value="f755bb0ed134b76c432144748a6d4b7a7ddf2b71" />
Helper generates a div element with a hidden input inside. This is a security feature of Rails called cross-site request forgery protection and form helpers generate it for every form whose action is not "get".
form_for with :as routing
The following will not work if your post model is routed with the :as option:
Instead, use the helper with your custom name:
form_for(@post, :url => edit_renamedpost_path(@post))
Adding Additional Parameters to form_for
If you want to add additional parameters to the form_for helper, but still want to use one form for both your "create" and your "update" actions, you can add the additional parameters to the :url option, but you need to omit the :controller and :action keys.
form_for(@user, :url => {:param1 => "value1", :param2 => "value2"}) do |f|
form_for([@post, @comment], :url => {:param1 => "value1", :param2 => "value2"}) do |f|
where param1 and param2 are not :controller or :action
form_for with :path route
Similar to danwich's note, if you specify a route using the :path option
resource :posts, path: 'articles'
then the form_for tag must specify the :url option
form_for(@post), url: post_path(@post)

I stumbled upon this recent question about Terminator 2, in particular about the scene where Miles Dyson dies after having been wounded lethally and trying to buy time for the others by detonating a grenade. He warns the upcoming SWAT team that the grenade will go off shortly and they run away.
This question states that the policemen didn't have enough time to escape the explosion. But I for myself always thought they made it out of the explosion radius in time, but then again, I'm not totally sure about this anymore, since this question says they surely didn't have enough time as judged by the immediate cut to the explosion destroying the building (although I vaguely remember it to only destroy a single floor).
The reason I'm asking this is, that I think the fact of the policemen dying would bring a major inconsistency with the general moral justification of the heroes' actions throughout the movie. There are actually no real human enemies in this movie and the movie more than one time elaborates on the fact, that the heroes (and especially the supposedly good Terminator) don't kill anyone, in order for the viewer to better identify with them on a moral basis. Whereas the previous movie had that touch of sweet immorality, once you decided that it is cool to watch Arnie run around and kill everybody, this one goes to great lengths to show him as a "good guy", especially in the scene more or less immediately before the questioned one. And in the end most action movies where the hero kills multiple bad guys in a row still try not to show him directly killing innocents.
So I see different possibilities for this:
- The SWAT team didn't die and managed to escape in time.
- Their death is to be justified as kind of collateral damage (in line with all the others killed by the T-1000, the "evil Terminator"), since Dyson didn't kill them completely on purpose.
- Their death is merely ignored or justified with a sense of "the end justifies the means" (which IMHO wouldn't be in line with the movie's previous moral elaborations, though).
- It is left open for the viewer to decide (which in turn was a bit too "heavy" an aspect for such a straight-to-the-point action movie).
And my question is, did the SWAT team die from Miles Dyson's grenade, and if yes, how is this supposed to be justified?
(disclaimer: Now it might be that this has been intentionally left open for interpretation which would make this a bit of an open discussion question. But I might also just have overlooked something (or not remebering it that well) or there is even an official statement about this from the writers.)

Four brave ladies from Burma
Published 12:00 am Wednesday, February 6, 2013
WASHINGTON — When Burma's Zin Mar Aung was placed in solitary confinement for trying to organize students in 1999, Bill Clinton was president of the United States.
When she was released, Barack Obama was in the Oval Office.
Zin Mar Aung says she had never heard of George W. Bush or his wife, Laura, who used her own bully pulpit to push for liberation of Burma's most famous political prisoner, democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi, then under house arrest.
Suu Kyi is well-known to many now because of the largely unacknowledged work of the Bushes, as well as Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Since her release, Suu Kyi has risen to public office, accepted her Nobel Peace Prize and been the subject of a movie ("The Lady").
Less well-known are four rising female leaders with whom I met, including Zin Mar Aung, who are visiting the U.S. this month for leadership training. Their delegation is sponsored by Goldman Sachs' "10,000 Women" program, in partnership with the George W. Bush Institute, the McCain Institute and the Meridian International Center.
What does all this mean?
Start here: Imagine living under a military dictatorship where free speech is punishable by incarceration, torture or worse. Imagine sitting in an 8-by-8-foot cell alone for 11 years with nothing but a small water jug, a "sink" for waste, and a 15-minute daily break for a cold bath in a communal tub. Throw in a lack of any amenities (shoes) or even necessities, such as sanitary napkins.
This was Zin Mar Aung's life for 11 years. How did she hang on to her sanity, I asked? She says she accepted that her existence consisted of those 64 square feet and wishing otherwise would do her no good. Meditate on that for a few seconds, while keeping in mind that her crime was publicly reading and distributing a collection of revolutionary poems she and her fellow students had written. Zin Mar Aung says she focused on those poems to get her through more than 4,000 days.
Then one day, she was free.
What does one do next? How does one navigate freedom in a nation relatively new to democratic reform and find the voice to speak when one has been silenced? Second and third thoughts further crowd the spirit in a country where, despite admiration for The Lady (as everyone refers to Suu Kyi), women are not universally embraced in the political process.
It takes courage to put one foot in front of the other, much less to become an activist, as Zin Mar Aung and her colleagues have done. For her part, Zin Mar Aung picked up where she left off, earning a degree in botany, and now pursuing an international law degree. In the meantime, she established the Yangon School of Political Science and co-founded Rainfall, an organization focused on women's empowerment.
The accomplishments of the four also include helping political prisoners, providing education and training to underserved girls and young women vulnerable to trafficking, and advocating for victims of domestic violence. The name of one of the organizations they help suggests the urgency and breadth of their challenges: "Stop Sexual Harassment on the Bus Now."
The three other women are: Hla Hla Yee, a mother, attorney and former political prisoner who counsels marginalized women and provides paralegal training in orphanages and elsewhere; Shunn Lei Swe Yee, who mobilizes young people to work for a more civil society; and Ma Nilar Oo, who worked for the International Red Cross for 18 years, advocated for political prisoners and personally provided some of those aforementioned necessities to Zin Mar Aung and Hla Hla Yee when they were imprisoned. More recently, she has been training and finding jobs for at-risk girls and young women (ages 13 to 35). She recently lost two teens from her program when their parents sold them each for $100. They were of high value, apparently, because they were virgins, the sundering of whom is crudely termed in Burma "to open a new envelope."
Some of these struggles sound familiar, even in our relatively advanced democracy. What is different for these women is the absence of democratic traditions in their country and a lack of familiarity with the instruments of freedom. Everything — from how to build a feminist movement to how to create a political party — has to be invented from scratch. What is message? What is public opinion? How does a person get elected?
Imagine that. And then meditate about — or pray for — the safety and success of these four brave women.

The 15:17 to Paris
In August 2015, an ISIS terrorist boarded train #9364 from Brussels to Paris. Armed with an AK-47 and enough ammo to kill more than 500 people, the terrorist might have succeeded except for three American friends who refused to give in to fear. Stone was a martial arts enthusiast and airman first class in the U.S. Air Force, Skarlatos was a member of the Oregon National Guard, and all three pals proved fearless as they charged and ultimately overpowered the gunman after he emerged from a bathroom armed and ready to kill.

News Release: November 3, 2015
SURREY, BC – Fraser Valley's housing market remained in a seller's market in October, fuelled by low interest rates and strong consumer demand, according to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board.
There were 1,772 sales processed on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in October compared with 1,448 in 2014, an increase of 22 per cent. For the month, sales are on par with the previous high in October 2005; and historically, only surpassed by the markets of October 1992 and 1989.
Jorda Maisey, President of the Board, says she's not surprised that October sales were near historic levels, "BC continues to be an economic growth leader in our country and we're seeing the impact of that in our housing market.
"In the Fraser Valley, demand is strongest for ground-oriented homes. Single family homes and townhomes garnered 83 per cent of our residential market last month. The reasons are due to low interest rates, pent-up demand and most importantly, price. People can afford to own their own single family home in the Fraser Valley."
The Board received 2,155 new listings last month, 10 per cent fewer listings compared to October of last year. The total active inventory for October was 6,535, down 26 per cent from last year's 8,807 active listings.
Maisey says with the lack of listings, sellers have had the advantage, "In some of our areas, active inventory of single family detached is down a third to a half of what was available this time last year. The fewer homes available, the more in demand they become, which is why we have seen an impact on prices, most notably on single family detached homes."
The MLS® Home Price Index benchmark price of a detached home in October was $649,200, an increase of 13.2 per cent compared to October of last year when it was $573,500. The MLS® HPI benchmark price of Fraser Valley townhouses increased 5.1 per cent going from $298,500 in October of last year to $313,700 last month. The benchmark price of apartments was $203,100, an increase of 5.5 per cent compared to $192,600 in October 2014.
Maisey adds, "Our inventory shortage of ground-oriented homes has had a positive spin-off on our condo market.
We've advised many of our entry-level buyers to consider an apartment rather than a townhome because the selection is far superior and prices, on average, $100,000 less. Many buyers just aren't aware of the new and resale options available to them."

Bird Control and Bird Proofing Programs
Birds are an important part of our natural environment in the area. As predators, they feed on insects, rodents, worms, fish and countless other animals. Game birds, song birds, hawks and other bird species contribute to outdoor recreation and the overall enjoyment of nature.
Are Birds Protected by Law?
Because of these contributions, birds are afforded considerable protection by laws, regulations and public sentiment that controls what kind of bird control can be implemented. Public relations are an integral part of any bird proof and bird control project and Critter Control in the area will educate our clients and the public why a particular bird control or bird proof program or method is necessary.
Birds That Cause the Most Problems: Bird Damage
The three birds that most often become pests in the United States in urban areas are pigeons, starlings, and house sparrows. If you have ever tried to get rid of pigeons, you know just how difficult bird control and bird proofing can be. Other birds, from hawks to swallows, may occasionally cause unexpected and unusual pest problems and require bird control. When blackbirds and crows roost in suburban areas they become pests and result in bird control or bird proofing. Woodpeckers may peck holes into house siding looking for insects, to make nest cavities and to communicate with other woodpeckers. Seagulls can feed on food-plants, and they roost and nest on large flat roofs with crushed stone.
Birds may be beneficial, neutral or harmful to man's interests, depending upon time, location and activity, and certain birds (sparrows, woodpeckers, waterfowl, pigeons and black birds) are more likely to become pests and require bird proofing and bird control. Pest bird situations that require bird control and bird proofing include:
- Feeding on agricultural products
- Roosting or nesting around human habitations
- Destroying vegetation and contaminating foods
- Noise, droppings, odor and feathers
- Diseases or ectoparasites affecting man including histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis
- Unpleasant or hazardous working conditions
How to Get Rid of Birds: Bird Proofing
Controlling birds is a difficult task. Their mobility and high nests are a challenge for most people and businesses to deal with. The secret to controlling birds is to deny them places to land and nest on and around your building. Another method of controlling birds is to trap the current roosting birds, immediately ending the problems they cause. It is more likely, however, that our experts will do both of these things to ensure that we can control your bird problems.
The best bird control and bird proof approaches emphasize deterrents, exclusion or modification of buildings. Critter Control's knowledgeable technicians have several bird control methods to bird proof your home or help to get rid of birds that congregate on municipal and commercial buildings in urban settings. We will work with you to bird proof your property in a humane method with a bird control plan. We use other bird deterrents in rural and agricultural settings for bird control.
For more information on bird control and bird proofing, please contact us.

The government relations staff at Metro just sent the following update to the agency's management and Board of Directors:
This afternoon in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, President Obama announced a multi-billion dollar initiative to boost infrastructure spending in America. Specifically, the White House plan would direct funding to rebuild 150,000 miles of roadways, invest heavily in the New Starts program to build new transit systems and invest in new airport technologies and runways. In addition, the President outlined his support for the creation of a national infrastructure bank that could be used to leverage private, state and local funds to build new infrastructure projects, including highways and transit projects. Our agency and our federal advocates are in direct contact with officials in Washington, DC regarding this announcement and will continue to work to ensure that our Board approved plan to accelerate Los Angeles County highway and transit projects is integrated into the infrastructure initiative the White House presents to Congress. President Obama made his remarks at the MILWAUKEE LABORFEST in Wisconsin, which was also attended by U.S. Senator Herb Kohl; Congresswoman Gwen Moore; U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis; U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood and AFL-CIO President Rich Trumka.
Here is the press release from the White House. The release says that $50 billion is aimed at rebuilding 150,000 miles of roadways, maintaining or constructing 4,000 miles of rail and rehabilitating 150 miles of runways. It also appears that Congressional approval for much of this will be needed.
It's worth noting that a national infrastructure bank, expanded New Starts funding for large transit projects and money for road projects mirror some of the same things that Metro is seeking as part of its 30/10 Initiative to use federal loans and financing to speed the construction Measure R projects. As is always the case in transportation funding, the devil is in the details — which we'll provide as soon as we know more.

Whether you're dreaming of functional or magazine-worthy pantry organization, you'll find tips, DIY ideas and my favorite products will help you create a pantry that works for your busy life
Quick! Before you forget, click here to save this recipe to Pinterest.
Keeping your kitchen pantry cabinet organized makes your daily cooking and eating much easier. Your kitchen is the heart of your home and your pantry is the heart of your kitchen. With the pantry playing such a central role in your kitchen, pantry organization is critical to keeping your entire kitchen organized.
How Do I Organize My Pantry? Begin by decluttering your kitchen ruthlessly. Create use zones. Place items that are used together in the same location. Use categories to organize items within zones. Place items in strategically where they make the most sense. Decant into clear or open containers. Containerize. Use turntables. Label. Use kitchen items as organizing bins. Use repurposed items for free or low-cost organizing. Use the vertical space. Make it pretty. Schedule routine tidying, decluttering and organizing of your pantry. Pantry Organization Tips to Organize Your Pantry
You should consider all pantry ideas and organization tips. Evaluate them against your unique pantry space, needs and preferences. Then choose to implement the pantry organisation systems that will work best for you and your lifestyle.
Create Zones in Your Pantry Common pantry zones are: Breakfast Lunchbox Snack Canned Goods Pasta & Rice Jars Drinks Baking Placing items together in zones makes it easy to find everything you need for a particular meal or kitchen task. Create Categories within the Zones Within each zone, put similar items together. For example, put all dry cereal together and all syrups together within the breakfast zone. Place Items Strategically within the Pantry Place the items you use most often where they're each to reach. Place them between your shoulder and hip height.
Place them in the front of the cabinet or drawer.
Place heavy items down lower.
Place light-weight items on upper shelves.
Place drippy items on lower shelves.
Place seldom used items in the back or in hard-to-reach areas of the pantry. Decant into Clear or Open Containers Choose clear or open containers that maximize the use of the space.
Take items out of the boxes and opaque containers they come in and transfer to the clear or see-through containers.
This allows you to clearly see how many or how much of each item you have. Containerize Even if you aren't decanting, use bins and boxes to contain smaller and loose items. This clearly defines where items belong when they are put away. Containing loose items prevents them from simply becoming clutter or getting lost in your kitchen pantry. For example, use a bin to hold smaller bottles and jars together. Use Turntables Turntables are also known as Lazy Susans. They are great for corners of pantries and for high or low shelves. They're helpful if you have mobility challenges. They help keep all items readily accessible since you an simply turn the turntable around to reach items in the back. They come in a variety of sizes to fit any pantry, with dividers and also come in 2-tiered versions.
Download these pantry labels now!
Label Label containers when it may not be clear what the contents are.For example, different types of flour or dried legumes and grains. Label shelves or containers to help family member know where items belong. Make labels easily legible. You can even use masking tape to make a functional pantry label. Tape cooking directions to the side of the container. Use the Vertical Space Adjust the shelves in your pantry to maximize the space for your pantry organization. If adjusting shelves is not possible, use cabinet shelf risers and under shelf baskets. Use the side walls for additional pantry organization space. Chip rack Pantry Wall Shelving Unit Spice Rack Shelves Use the back of the pantry door for organizing space. Door Organizer Shelving Unit Pantry Door Pockets Schedule Routine Decluttering and Organizing Every evening, straighten the pantry and return items to the pantry. Once a month or quarter, depending on your schedule and lifestyle, declutter and organize the pantry to stay on top of keeping everything neatly organized.

- "With consistency, a great soul has simply nothing to do" (Emerson self reliance p.7).
- "Yet he does not know what to do with the time he saves, and spends one part of his income to kill the time he is so proud of having saved" (Fromm 331).
- "It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity" (Du Bois – Of Our Spiritual Strings p.2).
- The Quotes from the book: A world of Ideas

CF and OO and blogs, oh my (a flush of CF-OO blog tutorials)
Note: This blog post is from 2007. Some content may be outdated--though not necessarily. Same with links and subsequent comments from myself or others. Corrections are welcome, in the comments. And I may revise the content as necessary.Step right up ladies and gentlemen, get your CF-OO tutorials here. :-)
I've noticed a sudden flush of multipart CF-OO tutorial blog series being done, to help people make the leap to using CFML in a more Object-Oriented way. I thought I'd point them out for those who may have missed them:
- Adrian Moreno started his multi-part series Aug 22
- Charlie Griefer started his multi-part series Aug 23
Don't know if there's a connection between the rather simultaneous releases, or if it's just pure coincidence. Charlie clarified that there indeed was no connection between the two.
And for those who want to get their CF-OO freak on, there are still more resources on the topic.
- Nic Tunney's cfoop.org site
- Doug Boude's "OO TERMS IN A COLDFUSION CONTEXT"
- Steve "Cutter" Blades has a series on "Making the View"
- Brian Rinaldi has a variety of blog entries he's done. See the comments below.
- Adrian (mentioned above) also has other entries in a CF-OO series, and here's the URL to his blog category for all of them
And there are certainly many more. I'd welcome hearing of those to add to the list. And there may well be more multi-part CF-OO blog series' created before or after now. Feel free to make note in the comments here and I'll update the list for posterity.
Maybe we're starting to reach a tipping point. Of course, there are some who will lament a push to OO (too complicated for them), while others will say you're a hopeless loser if you don't get with the program.
I don't want to debate that here, nor do I really want to see it blow up in my comments, please! :-) Feel free, instead, to point people to where else it may have taken place so that they can evaluate the discussions there instead.

up until reading it here, i was completely unaware of his blog. looks like i was missing out, because what i just saw skimming over his OO part 1 entry looks very very nice.
i'll say that the main difference seems to be his is more of a "i know stuff and i'm going to teach it to you".... where mine is "i have no idea what i'm doing, so i'm going to 'learn out loud', and you're welcome to try and learn along with me if you'd like, but you may just end up being more confused". :)
I did a series of tutorials a month or two ago that I know a number of people have said were helpful (and which I mention often but I did spend a lot of time on them :). Here they are, to add them to your list.
Objects and Composition series:
No Framework - http://www.remotesyn...

Hey Brian, I'd really rather not start creating a long list of individual entries, preferring instead to point to one URL for a given series of CF-OO related entries per blogger. For now, I've pointed folks to the comments for yours. Any chance you'd consider creating a category in your blog to tie together those and any others you may do? I'll understand if you don't want to. It would also just help to keep this list from becoming out of date (whereas with a series URL, people can see all that are related).
Actually, same for you, Charlie. It would help if you had a category for all these entries in the series. For now, I didn't mind pointing to your first one, since it was obvious that it's a series and people could go find the rest. But a single URL would help.
In fact, I did the same for Adrian's but just noticed that he does have an OO link for this series and another he did, and I'll add that to the list of resources separately.
That said, I'll say it's a shame that category links (in most blogs) always show only items from newest to oldest. Sometimes, especially when viewing a series like this, it would be useful to have it oldest to newest. But that's a broad problem to solve (certainly not unique to yours, Charlie), and usually out of our hands. :-) Something to consider for the cf-bloggers google group. :-)
Head First Object Oriented Analysis and Design
At first I started with HF Design patterns as suggested by so many people. However, I might as well have been reading greek. Now I'm ready Design Patterns and actually understanding where they are coming from.
It really breaks it down nicely and demonstrates OOP principals. Implementation is in Java, but it's easy to understand. It really helps to make all those CF implementation tutorials above lot more helpful.
I was intentionally focusing on CF-OO resources. Goodness, if I tried to make it an OO compendium, it would be a huge resource. :-) That said, there are indeed a few classics worth mentioning. Yours was one. Again, the others are mentioned in the other resources. Thanks, though.
And the CF people say ColdFusion isn't OO and most people don't code like this. Perhaps this will be fuel for more OO features in the future.
Constructors and Overloading based on a survey I ran recently.
the fact of the matter is that while cf can be coded in an OO manner, it can also be coded in a non OO manner. so does that make it OO in and of itself?
i'd suggest that your survey results are somewhat flawed. your survey was taken by a small subset of the coldfusion community... mostly, those that read blogs. those that read blogs are arguably more advanced than others (again, arguably). that alone would skew your results as those who voted are not a representative sample of the community as a whole.
ben forta blogged (fairly recently) that most (yes *most*) coldfusion developers don't even use CFCs.
so while a majority of a random sampling of blog reading cf developers may have voted in favor of constructors and overloading... that's hardly enough evidence to suggest that adobe should invest in adding additional OO features to the language.
bear in mind, i'm not saying they shouldn't. i'm just saying that the survey isn't really strong enough evidence to support the argument :)
I should have just offered the link myself. :-) Here it is now:
I don't think you need to be too advanced to get on a mailing list. Sure it's a small sample, what % who nows, but still this in relation to the number of posts on OO stuff leads me to believe that the adoption of OO techniques is increasing with CF developers.
I agree that CF isn't OO it's self, but allows OO code, and that OO is the way to code, people get taught OO techniques, so getting things done that way makes more sense, and unless some other thing comes along that is better than OO. I think the uptake will only increase.

John, Chapter 2
On the third day two people were going to be married at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there:
And Jesus with his disciples came as guests.
When they had not enough wine, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.
Jesus said to her, Woman, this is not your business; my time is still to come.
His mother said to the servants, Whatever he says to you, do it.
Now six pots of stone, every one taking two or three firkins of water, were placed there for the purpose of washing, as is the way of the Jews.
Then he said to them, Now take some, and give it to the master of the feast. So they took it to him.
After tasting the water which had now become wine, the master of the feast (having no idea where it came from, though it was clear to the servants who took the water out) sent for the newly-married man,
And said to him, Every man first puts out his best wine and when all have had enough he puts out what is not so good; but you have kept the good wine till now.
This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and let his glory be seen openly; and his disciples put their faith in him.
After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they were there not more than two or three days.
The time of the Passover of the Jews was near and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
And there in the Temple he saw men trading in oxen and sheep and doves, and he saw the changers of money in their seats:
And he made a whip of small cords and put them all out of the Temple, with the sheep and the oxen, sending in all directions the small money of the changers and overturning their tables;
And to those who were trading in doves he said, Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a market.
And it came to the minds of the disciples that the Writings say, I am on fire with passion for your house.
Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things?
And Jesus said to them, Send destruction on this Temple and I will put it up again in three days.
The Jews said, The building of this Temple took forty-six years; and you will put it up in three days!
But his words were about that holy building which was his body.
So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.
Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did.
But Jesus did not have faith in them, because he had knowledge of them all.
He had no need for any witness about man; for he himself had knowledge of what was in man.

Auditorium Soundproofing & Acoustic Panels in Belgium.
Engineered Soundproofing & Aesthetic Acoustic Panel For Auditorium in Belgium
Auditoriums serve as versatile spaces for various events, from lectures to performances. Understanding how sound moves within these spaces is crucial for optimizing the auditory experience. Sound waves travel through the air, bouncing off surfaces such as walls, ceilings, and floors, creating reverberation and echo. Excessive reverberation can negatively impact sound clarity and intelligibility, affecting the audience's experience.
To control reverberation and echo in auditoriums, acoustic panels are utilized. These panels are strategically placed on walls, ceilings, and other surfaces to absorb excess sound energy, reducing reverberation time and minimizing echo. By effectively managing acoustic properties, acoustic panels enhance sound quality, clarity, and overall acoustical performance in auditoriums.
MMT Acoustix specializes in producing premium acoustic panels engineered to control acoustics in auditoriums. With a focus on innovation and quality craftsmanship, MMT Acoustix designs acoustic panels that offer superior sound absorption capabilities. These panels are meticulously engineered to meet the specific acoustical requirements of auditoriums, ensuring optimal sound control and creating an immersive auditory experience for audiences.
Importance of Acoustics In an Auditorium
Acoustics play a vital role in auditoriums in Belgium for several reasons:
Cultural Significance: Belgium is a hub of cultural activities, hosting a wide range of events such as concerts, plays, lectures, and seminars in its auditoriums. Optimal acoustics ensure that these cultural performances are enjoyed to their fullest potential, enhancing the overall experience for attendees.
Speech Clarity: Auditoriums in Belgium often host educational seminars, conferences, and public speeches. Clear acoustics are essential for ensuring that speakers' voices are heard with clarity and intelligibility, allowing for effective communication and knowledge dissemination.
Audience Experience: The comfort and satisfaction of the audience are paramount in auditoriums. Good acoustics create an immersive and engaging atmosphere, enabling attendees to fully immerse themselves in the event or performance without distraction from echoes, reverberations, or other acoustic issues.
Reputation Management: Belgium's auditoriums are frequented by diverse audiences, including students, professionals, artists, and cultural enthusiasts. Maintaining high-quality acoustics enhances the reputation of these venues, attracting top performers, speakers, and attendees, and contributing to their long-term success.
Multifunctional Use: Many auditoriums in Belgium serve multiple purposes, hosting a variety of events ranging from concerts and theatrical performances to corporate presentations and community gatherings. Flexible acoustics allow these spaces to adapt seamlessly to different event requirements, maximizing their utility and value to the community.
In summary, acoustics are crucial in Belgium's auditoriums to ensure the success of cultural events, facilitate effective communication, enhance audience experiences, manage reputation, and support the diverse range of functions these venues serve.
Factors That Affect Auditorium Acoustics
1. Size of the Auditorium
The size of an auditorium plays a significant role in determining its acoustics. Larger auditoriums offer advantages such as richer music resonance but can pose challenges in terms of volume distribution, requiring quality sound systems for clear projection to the entire audience. Conversely, smaller auditoriums may ensure clearer sound projection but can result in excessively short reverberation times, potentially impacting the overall auditory experience. Balancing these factors is essential for achieving optimal acoustics in auditorium design.
2. Shape of the Room
The shape of an auditorium also profoundly affects its acoustics. Certain shapes, such as rectangular or fan-shaped layouts, can facilitate sound distribution more effectively, ensuring that sound reaches all audience members evenly. Additionally, curved or angled surfaces can help disperse sound waves and reduce the buildup of undesirable reflections, contributing to clearer and more balanced acoustics. Conversely, irregular or asymmetrical shapes may lead to sound focusing in certain areas while causing uneven distribution in others, potentially detracting from the overall sound quality. Therefore, careful consideration of the auditorium's shape during design and construction is essential to optimize acoustics and enhance the audience's auditory experience.
3. Materials in the Room
The materials used in an auditorium have a significant impact on its acoustics. Different materials have varying acoustic properties that can affect sound reflection, absorption, and diffusion within the space.
- Wall materials: The type of material used for the walls can influence sound reflection and absorption. Hard surfaces like concrete or plaster tend to reflect sound waves, leading to reverberation and potential sound distortion. On the other hand, softer materials like acoustic panels or fabric-covered surfaces absorb sound, reducing reverberation and improving clarity.
- Ceiling materials: Similar to walls, the materials used for the ceiling can affect sound reflection and absorption. Acoustic ceiling tiles or panels are often used to absorb sound and minimize reverberation. Additionally, the shape and height of the ceiling can impact the distribution of sound within the auditorium.
Flooring materials: The type of flooring material can also impact acoustics. Hard flooring materials like tile or hardwood can reflect sound waves, while carpeting or rubber flooring can absorb sound and reduce reverberation.
Seating materials: The materials used for seating, such as fabric upholstery or cushioning, can affect sound absorption and comfort for the audience. Upholstered seats can help absorb sound and reduce noise transmission between seats, improving the overall acoustics of the auditorium.
Overall, selecting the right materials for walls, ceilings, flooring, and seating is essential for optimizing acoustics in an auditorium and creating an enjoyable listening experience for the audience.
4. Auditorium Use
The use of an auditorium significantly influences its acoustic treatment needs. Different types of events and activities hosted in the auditorium require specific acoustic considerations to ensure optimal sound quality and clarity. Here's how the use of an auditorium affects its acoustic treatment:
- Speech and Lectures: Auditoriums used primarily for speeches, lectures, or presentations require acoustics that prioritize speech intelligibility. Acoustic treatments should focus on reducing reverberation and controlling echoes to ensure clear and articulate speech delivery throughout the space.
- Music Performances: For auditoriums hosting musical performances, acoustics play a critical role in enhancing the quality and richness of sound. Acoustic treatments must balance reverberation to create a resonant and immersive auditory experience without overwhelming the listeners with excessive echoes.
- Theatrical Productions: Auditoriums used for theatrical productions, including plays, musicals, and dramas, require versatile acoustics that accommodate spoken dialogue, musical numbers, and sound effects. Acoustic treatments should minimize reverberation while maintaining warmth and clarity to support the diverse audio needs of theatrical performances.
- Film Screenings: Auditoriums used for film screenings, conferences, or multimedia presentations require acoustics optimized for audiovisual synchronization. Acoustic treatments should focus on minimizing echoes and ensuring balanced sound distribution to enhance the cinematic experience and facilitate clear communication during presentations.
- Multi-Purpose Use: Some auditoriums serve multiple purposes, hosting a variety of events ranging from concerts and conferences to lectures and community gatherings. Acoustic treatments in such spaces need to be adaptable and customizable to meet the diverse acoustical requirements of different events and activities.
In summary, the intended use of an auditorium guides the selection and implementation of acoustic treatments to create an optimal listening environment tailored to the specific needs of the venue's activities.

3. Soundproofing
Soundproofing refers to the process of minimizing the transmission of sound between different spaces. In an auditorium, effective soundproofing ensures that external noise from surrounding areas, such as traffic or adjacent rooms, does not interfere with performances or presentations inside. This is achieved through the use of sound-absorbing materials, such as acoustic panels or mass loaded vinyl insulation, in walls, ceilings, and floors. Additionally, sealing gaps and using soundproof doors and windows can further enhance soundproofing in auditoriums.
SoundBlanket Mass Loaded Vinyl
In the context of auditoriums, SoundBlanket Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) can be strategically utilized to enhance soundproofing and isolate sound effectively.
Adding Density to Walls: By incorporating SoundBlanket MLV into the construction of auditorium walls, you increase their mass and density. This additional density helps in blocking the transmission of sound waves through the walls, reducing the amount of noise that can pass through. MLV is particularly effective in attenuating low-frequency sounds, which are often challenging to block with standard materials alone.
Isolating Sound: SoundBlanket MLV serves as an excellent sound isolation material, preventing sound from leaking into or out of the auditorium. When installed between layers of drywall or other wall materials, MLV acts as a barrier to sound transmission, effectively containing sound within the auditorium space. This is especially crucial during performances or events when maintaining acoustical privacy is essential.
Versatile Application: SoundBlanket MLV is flexible and can be easily installed during both new construction and renovation projects. It can be applied directly to existing walls or integrated into wall assemblies, providing a seamless solution for enhancing soundproofing and isolation in auditoriums without significant structural changes.
Customization and Adaptability: SoundBlanket MLV is available in various thicknesses and sizes, allowing for customization to meet specific acoustic requirements. Additionally, it can be combined with other soundproofing materials, such as acoustic panels or insulation, to achieve optimal sound control tailored to the unique needs of the auditorium environment.

Cuts now being made to child care that will leave thousands of working parents facing painful choices between jobs and family are only the latest casualty of the legislature's failure to provide the resources necessary to meet Kentucky's needs. State lawmakers in recent years have set back our schools and universities, health care and other vital services by presiding over $1.6 billion in budget cuts.
In the recent legislative session, they passed a meager revenue bill that provides only a portion of the money needed to pay pension liabilities and ignores everything else. The job of raising the funds necessary to cover Kentucky's needs and reforming the tax system for the long haul remains undone.
But ducking our problems won't solve them. Because of five budget realities, those problems will still be front and center when lawmakers write a new budget in January:
Economic recovery is a long way off.
The worst recession since the Great Depression tore a big hole in state revenue, and the slow recovery means we haven't made up much of the ground we lost. Revenue is expected to grow only slightly faster than inflation in the current budget. If job creation stays slow, unemployment will remain higher than before the recession until the end of the decade. That means depressed sales and income tax revenues and lots of struggling people in need of low-income assistance.
The tax system is failing.
Kentucky's antiquated tax system simply doesn't keep up with growth in the economy, making it hard to maintain the current level of services even if economic growth was faster. State revenues are growing 20 percent slower than the economy, a trend that by itself will create a gap of $1 billion between the state's needs and the resources it can muster to meet them by the end of the decade. Closing a variety of loopholes in our tax system would allow Kentucky to better keep pace with the cost of educating our children and promoting health and safety.
Budget tricks won't fill the gap.
Policymakers have used every gimmick they could find in recent years to keep budget cuts from being even worse—delaying bond payments, offering tax amnesty so that scofflaws will pay up, underfunding retirement benefits and raiding various state accounts. Some of these moves have been harmful to Kentucky's financial condition, and other one-time options have been exhausted.
Federal funds are shrinking.
Federal dollars make up about 35 percent of Kentucky's state budget, but federal funds to states are being cut. The 2011 Budget Control Act set caps on federal spending that will reduce grants for schools, public safety, water treatment and other areas to the lowest level in four decades. More cuts will occur if automatic spending reductions, known as sequestration, become permanent or if there are additional cuts as part of another deficit reduction package.
Kentucky's needs are many.
The $1.6 billion in state budget cuts have made college tuition less affordable, kept new textbooks out of schools and reduced access to services for the elderly and people with disabilities. While we should be talking about new investments in early childhood education and other critical areas—and working harder to help Kentuckians become healthier and more educated—the cuts are setting us back.
Last year, I was one of 16 Kentuckians who served on the Governor's tax commission that came up with a proposal to raise $659 million for Kentucky's needs through comprehensive tax reform. In public hearings across the state, we heard Kentuckians from all walks of life stress the need for more investment in schools, health and other resources that make our lives better and our economy stronger. They told stories about opportunities lost because of a lack of resources, and of how great Kentucky could be with a stronger commitment to our future.
Our leaders should start working now to build support for the bold revenue action Kentucky must have in order to make just such a commitment.

Der Rum ist ok und ich nutze ihn meist für Mischgetränke
When I went to Cuba 4 years ago, I was only starting to enjoy rum. Since then I've tasted quite a few rums, but this is the one I return to the most. Great nose, great color, reasonable burn (which is something I like), practically no added sugar and decent price here (33$) in QC, Canada, it's a win-win-win situation. I always drink it neat, and I love the linging taste it leaves behind, even after a few minutes. Rating this rum less than 6 is a shame, or it comes from sugar lovers :)
Not a bad rum if you can get around the big leathery tobacco-like note at the beginning. I personally don't like it, but if you sip your rum while smoking cigars, you'll love it. I do think this rum actually suffers from some overrating (and price inflation) as its political/historical context make it the Che Guevara t-shirt of the rum drinking world. If you sip it on its own merits, its not bad but not great either.
HC 7 is not superb and not really bad. It is for me the most drunk rum, known by almost everyone. It's not sweet, has typical cuban notes wood, leather, a bit smokey. It tastes strong although it's not only the alcohol in it, its the flavour itself. As it is easy to buy worldwide (except USA I think) and not too expensive (last bottle I bought cost me 17 Euro) it is absolutely ok for the price. But if you like HC7 I suggest to try other cuban rums that lead a bit into similar directions and are far better for the same or lower price as Caney Centuria or Legendario Añejo (not the sweet Elixir one, that's something different).
I consider it a rum to mix with coke or for coctails, I'd not be able to drink this one straight.
This is a favoured rum, I enjoy it a lot, one of my regular ones. I have it with a little water, sometimes with ice. There is nothing negative to say about it.
This rum makes an "I'm Cuban" statement clearly crafted to be enjoyed alongside a cigar with its complementary tobacco undertones. It's lovely on the nose giving lots of sweet molasses and noticeable vanilla. The palate arrives sweet and spicy developing hot sweet chilli pepper, tobacco wood and light vanilla. It finishes with light syrupy spiced tobacco and a shows a mild short lived helping of base rum sourness that hasn't been completely aged out in the 7 years in oak. This doesn't mar the aftertaste and it goes down well glass after glass. If you like Bourbon this will suit you. It may not suit everyone though. You can grab a bottle for about 20 quid and it definitely holds its own against bottles twice that price. Bit too much E150 but they stick that in every rum - you just cant avoid it. Added sugar is only 5gpl. A very pleasant surprise this Easter and given it's price I'm almost going 8/10. Cheers!
This rum is simply wonderful. It is not completely smooth, but leaves a lingering taste of oak and molasses that makes drinking it memorable. There are better rums, like Tributo 2016, but I have found no better rum in this price range. If you are in Cuba, don't settle for anything less.
Not greate as sipper! but ok for Coke drink and other drinks.
After reading many good reviews I had to try this rum. It is nice on the nose. That's the only positive for me. Some see this as a smooth rum. This is not smooth at all. It burns and it is bad for stomach, mine started to protest right away. Thai Sangsom can give it a lesson in smoothness for 10 euros and it is also much much easier on your stomach. This Havana rum has some strange woody aroma which is disgusting to me. And it never goes away. I don't think this is a good mixer. This woody aroma is so strong, you have to like it to be happy with any drink made of this rum. I strongly recommend trying before buying. This was my first and also my last bottle.
Ok, first I will apologize for the use of that much-scorned descriptor: "Smooth". However, I was duly impressed at how effortlessly this just slid in as I drank it. Now, that shouldn't be surprising since it is only 80 proof, nevertheless, this really stood out, and likely because lower proof spirits often come across as watery and thin. Not this rum! I'm not yet adept at going into particulars in terms of specific tasting notes, but I will say that this is quite a delicious, light rum, though it's flavour is somewhat understated. It didn't knock my socks off with bold flavours, but it was something that I could just keep sipping and sipping - truly dangerous.
Just for added info: I'm primarily a whisk(e)y drinker, though I have begun to branch out to tequila, rum, cachaca, and gin. The rums I have tried and enjoyed so far are Mount Gay XO and Rhum Vieux Labbé 3 stars, as well as Soul Cachaca.
N- Aroma of brandy, raisin, buttery with layer of lifted peppery heat. Gets charming with fruit notes of honeydew melon, pineapple and honey. No faulty notes here. (20/25)
P- Sweet toffee banana, juicy tropical fruits, direct and tasty, balance with fine oak fragrant. Light-medium body. (19/25)
F- Short, pleasantly sweet oak-y caramel, honey and marmalade, some orange and lemon peels. (18/25)
Balanced:- Pleasant sips, best with ice, light but tasty with well aged citrus fruits expression. Just a bit short on the exit. (18/25)
Weighted Rate:- 75pt
