Absolutely love we got our farms name out on them
Painted Edges
We sometimes apply a stain to match the raw leather to the surface body for a more tonal seamless look.
Antique Metal Hardware
We use antiqued silver, brass, rose gold, and bronze hardware, which are stone washed, creating a vintage, weathered patina. Will appreciates an authentic lived-in feel that only gets better with wear.
Adjustable Straps
Adjustable straps allow for hands-free ease-of-wear to allow easy navigation through a busy airport, city, or wherever your journey takes you.
Bison Leather
Bison leather is made from buffalo hides. These hides have a very strong and tight grain—usually a large pebble grain with large waves. The texture and variation in oil deposits make this leather not only visually appealing but also rugged and strong.
Braided Leather
We hand braid our leather using 2–5 cords to create straps, belts, and even whole panels. This technique not only creates a beautiful product but also one with incredible strength.
Bulldog Leather
Bulldog leather is a classic, heritage leather that Will Leather Goods has been using for over 10 years. It features a natural full grain that is shrunken to enhance the textures and waves of the grain. This creates a rugged, casual feel, which can be further enhanced by snugging or brushing the hide. All the added effort, along with the tanning and conditioning process, creates a weatherproof patina that will last a lifetime and improves with age.
Burnished Edges
We use a burnishing wheel to soften rough edges and bring out slight contrasts in the leather, which results in a smoother finish and a more refined look.
Contrast Stitching
Contrast stitching adds pops of color and visual detail to our bags, creating visual interest and showcasing our high-quality stitching.
Cotton Canvas
We use 16–20 oz. heavy weight cotton canvas, which is durable yet biodegradable. We pride ourselves on using textiles that last a lifetime and don't add unneeded plastics to the world. These utilitarian heavy-weight textiles have a tight weave and are soft yet sturdy.
Cross Stitch Reinforced
Whenever possible, we add 10-12 extra stitches per inch to reinforce the seams of multiple layers of leather. This optimizes the strength of attachments, handles, and straps that support more weight and extend the life of the bag. We consider every detail along with your adventure, which is why we're able to stand the test of time and offer a 100% lifetime guarantee. Attention to detail is one of the many ways we are able to make that promise.
Detachable Straps
Detachable straps allow for hands-free, ease-of-wear to allow easy navigation through a busy airport, city, or wherever your journey takes you.
Dhurrie Textiles
Our Dhurrie bags get their character from the use of vibrant cotton rugs. These recycled textile sections were hand-loomed by artisans using centuries-old techniques to blend natural elements, including berries, moss, tree bark, and larvae, to achieve the variety of colors seen throughout the rugs.
We use heated dies, pressed into our leathers, to brand and personalize Will Leather Goods. It's another way we make our products unique and one of a kind.
Grizzly Leather
Grizzly is a thick leather, vegetable tanned, then tumbled and washed to soften. It requires less conditioning and has a more natural, matte finish. Grizzly is casual and rugged with durability in mind.
Hand Tacks
We use an old bench-made technique for extra hand stitching on higher stress areas, to ensure security and allow for more durability.
Hidden Magnet Closures
Hidden magnet closures allow for genuine security that is easy to open and close. This modern functionality will protect your belongings with a seamless and clean appearance.
Logo Medallion
Crafted from vintage brass, this medallion was designed by Will to identify the authenticity of our products. When you see a Will Leather Goods metal medallion, you know the product was made to last with a 100% guarantee.
Luggage Tag
Our luggage tags make a Will Leather Goods product uniquely yours. The luggage tag is the perfect place to take advantage of our custom and complementary monograming.
Oaxacan Textiles
Every Oaxacan piece holds the history of the Zapotec culture, the story of a family and their customs. These textiles are a celebration of the people and their artisanal traditions. Wool is woven on an old-fashioned hand loom—the colors are dyed by natural herbs, berries, and earth that are both vibrant and natural. Real rugs are made by hand, using a peddle and leaver loom, which we then cut into panels, resulting in unique individual pieces. We make our bags out of this history-filled material to keep Zapotec and Oaxacan history alive.
100% Cotton Webbing
We use woven cotton webbing in both our belts and bag straps. Usually knit in a tubular fashion, webbings are double or triple layered for high quality and maximum durability.
Painted Edges
We sometimes apply a stain to match the raw leather to the surface body for a more tonal seamless look.
Pounded Rivets
We add rivets to reinforce the bag in any areas with higher stress points. Pounding the rivets enhances the longevity of the bag, ensures the security of the rivet, and also adds character, which speaks to the signature quality of Will Leather Goods.
Ranch Leather
Ranch leather is Italian-finished leather that is conditioned and vegetable tanned, then heated to give a high shine. The tanning process makes it soft and comfortable with a more polished look—bright and brilliant—using more dyes. Importantly, in addition to the high shine, brightness, and softness, the mellow hand feel is very soft and luxurious.
Signature Lining
Classic plaid was derived to provide protection against the harsh elements of wet and windy winters. We use it to line our bags to bring comfort and resilience to your journeys.
Tubular Handles
Rolled leather handles provide comfort and fit just right in your hand, making your bag more comfortable to carry when it's heavy. We offer a variety of handle types to fit a variety of needs.
Unlined Construction
An essential material, leather has been used for thousands of years as human civilization progresses. We honor this history and the tradition of leather craft by showcasing the leather with raw unlined interiors that allow for a lighter, softer, and more casual all-leather bag.
Vegetable Tanner Leather
Will Leather Goods is well-known for using natural vegetable tanned leathers, which adhere to the hide and provide greater flexibility, longevity, and water resistance. Our use of natural, plant-based tannins stabilizes the hide and reveals its natural blemishes and scars. Over time, this creates a unique patina that gets richer with every wear. This tanning process highlights imperfections, allowing Will to tell the leather's deeper story.
Waxed Canvas
Our 16 oz. cotton canvas is coated with a highly stable wax that has a high melting point, waterproofing the canvas. This tightly woven, utilitarian heavy-weight textile is sought for its strength and durability.
YKK Zippers
YKK is one of the world's leading zipper manufacturers. With consistent dependability, quality, and innovation, YKK zipper functionality is essential to our design.
Vegetable Tanned Leather
Will Leather Goods is well-known for using natural vegetable tanned leathers, which adhere to the hide and provide greater flexibility, longevity, and water resistance.

Week 12: Memetic Marketing, Part 1 of 2: Sending Email in Your Web Pages
Memetic marketing is a way of getting your users to promote your site for you. A common medium used for such promotion is email. In this initial article on memetic marketing, we examine the technical details of sending email via an Active Server Pages script. But first, the "Hacker Phrase of the Week."
Hacker Phrase of the Week
"Are you crazy? Is that what your problem is?"
Usage: Whenever a friend or coworker blabbers excitedly about something.
Fred |
I was walking near Mr. Slate's office and he called me in and he...and he gave me a huge raise today! And then he... |
Barney |
Are you crazy? Is that what your problem is? |
My week 10 article on traffic described how to increase the chances of getting your site ranked highly in search engines. Unfortunately, the sheer number of sites in most search engine databases makes it difficult to get displayed highly in their results listings; thus, you can't really rely on search engines to drive large volumes of traffic to your site. However, they do drive some traffic to your site, and it would be nice if you could somehow convert that bit of traffic into more traffic. This is where memetic marketing comes in. Briefly, using memetic marketing, your users (C) promote (:promo) your site (W) to their friends and other associates (N), as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 Memetic marketing component of the autonomous business model.
The keys to effective memetic marketing are twofold:
Identifying valuable content on your site that your users want to share with their friends.
Developing mechanisms that help your users promote this content with their friends and other associates.
Together, the content and promotional mechanisms are known as a memetic. A common, albeit extremely primitive example of a memetic is a link or button on a web page labeled, "Email this web page to a friend." In this example, the valuable content is the information on the web page, and the promotional mechanism is email.
For this initial article, we'll focus on just the technical details of using email as a promotional mechanism. Specifically, I'll show you how to send email to a user via an Active Server Pages script. With the promotional mechanism implemented, the next article shows you how to generalize this mechanism to help your users promote your site's valuable content to their friends. Finally, on a technical note, this article assumes that your site uses a Microsoft web server with the Active Server Pages (ASP) and Collaboration Data Objects for NT Server (CDONTS) packages installed. Check with your site's system administrator to ensure that they are indeed installed before trying any of the examples.

Name | Karen Reynolds |
Age: | 23 |
Status: | Single |
Occupation: | Manager |
Location: | London, U.K. |
Height: | 5'6″ |
Starting weight: | 265 |
Current weight: | 205 |
Starting waist size: | 39″ |
Current waist size: | 34″ |
The Lifestyle
My weight hovered in the 215 pounds until I got pregnant. I gained 50 pounds, but lost most of it by walking with my stroller after I had my son. But when I got pregnant again a year later, my weight shot back up and stayed there.
I felt so uncomfortable in my body. My feet were swollen all the time and I often woke up gasping for air in the middle of the night.
The change
I ate super healthy for a few days—chicken, vegetables—but eventually I crashed and ate everything in sight. I tried to follow workout DVDs at home, but I quit when I didn't see any results.
The number on the scale kept creeping up.
I began meal prepping on Sundays, ditched the strict rules of Paleo, and went for healthy snacks like celery and hummus. I got back to the gym and did workouts that I used to do for softball in college. I lifted weights and did intervals on the treadmill. What began as two or three gym sessions a week became five. I even started swimming for extra cardio.
I stopped telling myself I would start eating healthy and work out on Monday.
After a year, I'd lost almost 50 pounds. I went back for my checkup, excited about the progress I'd made. But my doctor was concerned about my fluttering heart rate, which was something I'd brushed off. After three months of doctors and tests, I was diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia, which means that my heartbeat was irregular because of an extra nerve passageway in my heart. I was a ticking time bomb for a heart attack.

I don't have cable. But I watch a lot of TV.
For my birthday I got a Roku and after tooling around with it for a couple of weeks, I cut the cable cord, much to the wife's chagrin. Then, last Christmas, I found under the tree an AppleTV (although it is small enough it could have gone in the stocking.)
AppleTV and Roku essentially inhabit the same space. Both are around (or under) $100, both are solely media streaming devices and, unlike the mythical GoogleTV or the enigmatic Boxee, neither offer web access.
So with no methodology and no experience in product reviews, here is my official, unauthorized, David-vs-Goliath head-to-head streaming media device smackdown. In one corner, Apple, the single greatest human accomplishment in the history of the universe; the company that proves Intelligent Design is real. And in the other corner, Roku, which means "six" in Japanese.
OK, this isn't really fair because this is where Apple has always excelled. When I first got my Roku, I thought it was a pretty slick device. Black plastic, pleasing angles and the size of a turkey club sandwich (hold the mayo). Then I unwrapped the AppleTV and…. My God you're beautiful! So small, so sleek…
I looked at my Roku, what is that hideous oversized slab of a streaming device currently attached to my TV?
Point: Apple
I won't even go there. Apple's is amazing… Roku's has always sucked.
Point: Apple
So this is where it gets interesting. The gateway drug for both of these is Netflix and Pandora, which are both awesome services and the reasons why the sun still shines in my world. But what's there beyond that?
With Roku, yes there is MLB if you like baseball (I don't) and HuluPlus if you're able to figure out why you would want it (I can't). Where Roku really shines is access to all the weirdo webTV shows on Koldcast, Blip.TV, Revision3 and so on. You have to really like web-only TV and fortunately, I do. The wife doesn't so I end up watching a lot of it by myself. You can also watch Al Jazeera streaming live on Roku in the event you need more proof as to how f-ed up the world is.
With Apple TV, your channel flipping will lead you to YouTube or to all the various audio and video podcasts on iTunes. That may sound lame, but it really isn't. There is a ton of great stuff there and most of it is pretty bite-sized. So in 3-5 minute increments you can flip from news to comedy to movie trailers… unless you land on the "This American Life" podcast, in which case you're stuck on the couch listening to your TV for an hour.
Winner of this round? I'm going to give it to Roku. I love all the cheese that webTV has to offer. My big complaint is again the UX… it is hard to find content and then to remember which channel it is on if you want to go back to it.
So here's the knock-out blow… this goes to Roku. Yes, it is close, but Roku wins it. I found a better picture and fewer artifacts when streaming from Roku. Also, surprisingly, AppleTV hung up and crashed more than the Roku did. Not by a long shot, mind you, but enough to notice.
Final Verdict
If you like design, UX and more mainstream content, you'll love AppleTV.
But this is my smackdown and I'm giving the prize to Roku. They've got the edge in reliability and I love the goofy webTV access… but that is just me.

Loving that the style guide is not seen as a restrictive document, but something that aims to help raise standards for the people using it.
It can be hard to get started and I'm liking how this article offers practical ideas to get going. Hopefully once I start then a bit of momentum might come.
Good work.

Moscow–"Syria is political chess, not American football," said Mikhail Margelov, Presidential envoy to Africa, and Russian Premiere to Libya, implying Sunday America has no role in the country, so they should get out.
Margelov spoke on conditions of Anonymity during talks with Soviet journal RT. Over the course of their discussion, he indicated democratic efforts in Libya have failed.
Margelov said, "Some people happy to openly drink moonshine and others unhappy about that because they're in favor of Sharia laws all over the country."
"Some people are thinking about purity and Islamic identity," Margelov boasted. "Some talk about necessity of establishing Sharia law all over the country, Islamic world, all over the Arab world." At this, Margelov's eyes flashed, then rolled back into his head as he foamed at the mouth.
"Chances of New Libyan Government and judicial system sharing values of human rights and democracy expected to be minimal," Margelov explained through gritted teeth.

Evonik successfully acquires silica business from J.M. Huber Corporation
• Closing to take place on September 1, 2017
• Acquisition drives forward the portfolio focus onhigh-margin specialty chemicals
• Expansion of silica business represents boost for "Smart Materials" growth engine
Essen. Evonik will complete the acquisition of US company J.M. Huber Corporation's silica business for US$ 630 million, as planned, in the second half of the year. The transaction will be closed on September 1, 2017 after approval by the relevant authorities. Contributions from the new business will therefore be included in Evonik's sales and earnings as of this date.
Christian Kullmann, Chairman of the Executive Board of Evonik, said: "With the successful closing of the acquisition, we are strengthening our 'Smart Materials' growth engine by continuing to expand our globally leading position in the silica business."
The newly acquired business will be integrated into the Resource Efficiency Segment. The intensive planning work that has been done for the integration over the past few months will be put into action straight away.
The acquisition is a perfect match for Evonik's product portfolio. Huber Silica is especially oriented towards applications in the consumer goods industry, the dental sector for example. To date, Evonik's silica business has been more focused on industrial applications, for example in the tire and coatings industries.
For the 2016 financial year, Huber Silica achieved sales of close to US$ 300 million and an adjusted EBITDA of US$ 60 million.

Man's Totally Outrageous Thumb Tricks Test the Limits of What's Real
The thumb trick as you know it is new and improved and totally freaky.
Watch as this guy shows off some high-level, extra credit-quality tricks in which he makes his thumb disappear, while also making it look like he's removing a few other digits.
We all remember this thumb trick, right? The first time we saw it we were at some family gathering and an uncle thought he'd be the cool uncle by sitting us down and terrifying our six-year-old mind by extracting his thumb. We couldn't figure it out -- one second it's there, the next it's gone. There was no blood. What kind of black magic sorcery was this?
Eventually, we all learned the trick and we discovered there was no man behind the curtain pulling the strings.
But this...this is the magic trick done right for 2017. It's a whole new take on what has become a staple -- a run-of-the-mill ruse that has gotten stale. We don't expect any cool uncles to pull this off anytime soon, but it's nice to know someone can do it.

It does not matter what is under the bonnet, it still takes the same amount of fuel to do the job of moving the car, more low down torque used = more fuel used.
As I have said before, one reason I bought the car was long term reliability, after 30 odd years of diesel ownership I want long term reliability. Not boy racer turbo boosted traffic light take offs with a highly stressed engine. The current engine is plenty powerful enough if you know how and when to use it. Honda engines are some of the best around, they just have the majority of their power at the top half of the rev range. It is a choice whether you use it or not.
...... but if you push the right pedal it will run like a good 1.8 naturally aspirated.
I would like to know where these incredible mpg figures come from and how they are allowed to claim them. BMW i8 and Misubishi PHEV can both claim 135mpg

HONOLULU — The Coast Guard Captain of the Port set port condition YANKEE for Hawaii and Maui County ports as of 8 a.m. Sunday in advance of Hurricane Olivia.
Honolulu and Kauai Counties remain in X-RAY status. Honolulu County will set port condition YANKEE at 6 p.m. Monday followed by Kauai County at 8 p.m. Monday.

- Barber's Point Harbor, Honolulu Harbor, Kalaeloa, and Kewalo Basin, Oahu
- Kahului, Maui
- Kaumalapau, Lanai
- Kaunakakai, Molokai
- Nawiliwili Harbor and Port Allen, Kauai
- Barber's Point Harbor, Honolulu Harbor, Kalaeloa, and Kewalo Basin, Oahu
Coast Guard personnel are doing pre-storm assessments of the ports. At Port Heavy Weather Condition YANKEE, the WARNING condition consists of winds above 39 mph expected within 24 hours. At port Heavy Weather Condition X-RAY, the READINESS condition consists of winds above 39 mph expected within 48 hours.
All pleasure craft shall seek sheltered waters. The Captain of the Port is directing action by the maritime and port community.

Mariners are reminded that our facilities and ports are safest when the inventory of vessels is at a minimum. While port conditions X-RAY and YANKEE remain in effect, port facilities will be open with restrictions. There will be reduced vessel traffic within the affected port, limited transportation of bulk oil and hazardous material within the port, and shore-side facilities will begin to remove debris and make preparations for heavy weather.
If and when the Captain of the Port sets port condition ZULU, meaning sustained gale force winds are anticipated within 12 hours, all activity will be suspended, and the ports will close until the storm has passed and damage assessment surveys are completed.
The Coast Guard reminds the public when hurricane or tropical storm force winds are present to stay off the water and clear of beaches. The Coast Guard's search and rescue capabilities degrade as storm conditions strengthen. This may delay help. Heed weather watches, warnings, and small craft advisories. Evacuate as necessary. Coast Guard personnel and other emergency responders may not be able to evacuate or rescue those in danger during the storm.

Macklemore's ACLU Promo Will Make You Cringe
Macklemore—the rapper who has the daunting, self-appointed task of being more socially conscious than all of the members of Arrested Development combined—has teamed up with the ACLU in a video that is maybe supposed to be funny?
Not since the fart blanket has a commercial been so confusing as to whether it's real or an SNL skit. Adding to the weirdness is that Macklemore implies that being a card-carrying member of the ACLU guarantees a person certain rights like gay marriage or abortion, which isn't really true. It's not bad that he tries, and he seems like a nice guy and all, but who elected this straight, white dude as The Ambassador of the Maligned?

Where a city has refused to perform its contract to purchase the waterworks of a company at a price based on their productive worth, to be determined by appraisers, the water company has no remedy at law as complete and efficient as the specific performance of the contract in equity. [Ed. Note. For cases in point, see vol. 44, Cent. Dig. Specific Performance, §§ 5-8.] (Syllabus by the Court.) Appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Colorado. C. S. Thomas (Wm. H. Bryant and Wm. P. Malburn, on the brief), for appellant. C. W. Waterman (Joel F. Vaile, James H. Pershing, and Harold W. Clark, on the brief), for appellee. Before SANBORN and VAN DEVANTER, Circuit Judges, and PHILIPS, District Judge. SANBORN, Circuit Judge. The town of Aspen made a contract with Cowenhoven & Brown wherein it granted to them the use of its streets for the purpose of laying water mains and pipes, and agreed to pay them hydrant rentals for 20 years, and they covenanted to erect and maintain waterworks, and to supply the town and its inhabitants. with water during that time. One of the terms of this agreement was that the town should have the right to purchase the waterworks at the expiration of the 20 years on condition that it should give notice of : its intention to buy one year in advance of the date of the purchase, and that in that event, if the parties should fail to agree upon the price, the same should be determined by five appraisers, four to be chosen by the parties and the fifth by the four, and that this price should be based upon the productive worth, and not on the cost of the works. The assigns of Cowenhoven & Brown constructed waterworks at an expense of $150,000, and supplied water to the town and its inhabitants. The complainant, the Castle Creek Water Company, succeeded to the rights of Cowenhoven & Brown, and the town of Aspen became the defendant, the city of Aspen. One year before the expiration of the term of the contract, the city gave notice to the complainant that it would "purchase said waterworks and appurtenances at the time and in accordance with the provisions of said proposition and ordinances." The parties failed to agree upon the price of the works, and the city refused to appoint appraisers, and notified the complainant that it would not be bound by the contract. Thereupon the water company exhibited its bill, in which it set forth the facts that have been recited, and prayed for a specific performance of the agreement of purchase. The court below sustained a general demurrer and dismissed the bill, and the complainant appealed. The main purpose and scope of the contract of 1885, which is the subject of this controversy, was to procure waterworks for the city of Aspen and for its inhabitants. This was the great desideratum which induced the town to enter into the agreement. The chief object of the water company was to secure adequate compensation for the construction of the works and the supply of the water by means of the hydrant rentals and the payments for water by private consumers during the term of the agreement. The stipulation regarding the sale of the works was an incidental part of the main agreement, and that agreement did not constitute a contract of sale of the waterworks. Nevertheless, the agreement of the company that the city should have the option to purchase them at an appraised value was an inseparable part of this original contract. It was a continuing and irrevocable offer of the water company to sell. The notice given by the city that it would purchase upon the terms specified in this offer was an exercise of its option, and an irrevocable acceptance of the water company's offer. The city had but one option. When it had exercised it, its power to choose was exhausted. An election once made estops the elector. He may not revoke his choice and select another alternative. Bishop on Contracts, § 784; Childs v. Stoddard, 130 Mass. 110; Brown v. Insurance Co., 1 E1. & El. 853. The irrevocable offer and the irrevocable acceptance attested the meeting of the minds of the parties, and constituted a contract of sale of the waterworks. Cherryvale Water Co. v. City of Cherryvale, 65 Kan. 219, 69 Pac. 176; Rockport Water Co. v. Inhabitants of Rockport, 161 Mass. 279, 37 N. E. 168; Braintree Water Supply Co. v. Braintree, 146 Mass. 482, 487, 16 N. E. 420; Chadsey v. Condley, 62 Kan. 853, 855, 62 Pac. 663; 21 Am. & Eng. Enc. of Law (2d Ed.) 929. But counsel for the city contend that a court of equity may not enforce the specific performance of this contract, because it provides that the price based upon the productive worth shall be appraised by four experts to be chosen by the parties and another to be selected by the four. They invoke the rules that a court of equity will not specifically enforce an agreement to arbitrate a disputed claim (Oregon & W. Mtg. Sav. Bank v. American Mtg. Co. [C. C.] 35 Fed. 22; Tobey v. County of Bristol, Fed. Cas. No. 14,065), or a contract of sale wherein the price is not fixed, but is to be determined by appraisers (Milnes v. Gery, 14 Ves., Jr., 400; King v. Howard, 27 Mo. 21; Van Doren v. Robinson, 16 N. J. Eq. 256); and they insist that these rules apply to cases of the nature of that in hand, where the agreement of sale at a valuers' price is a part of a lease or of a broader contract (Agar v. Mackalew, 2 Sim. & S. 418, 432; Greason v. Keteltas, 17 N. Y. 491; City of St. Louis v. St. Louis Gaslight Co., 70 Mo. 69, 94; Montgomery Gaslight Co. v. City of Montgomery, 87 Ala. 245, 6 South. 113, 4 L. R. A. 616. The general rule that contracts for the sale and conveyance of real estate may be specifically enforced by a court of equity has become firmly established, upon the ground that actions at law for the breaches of these contracts do not place the parties in the same situation in which they were before the agreements were made, and for that reason do not afford adequate relief. Contracts to arbitrate disputed claims escape this rule, because the failure to enforce them leaves the parties in their original situations, with their original claims and rights of actions. Separate agreements of sale of real estate, in which the prices have not been agreed upon or in which they are to be fixed by valuers to be chosen by the parties, do not fall within the rule for the same reason, so long as they have not been executed in whole or in any substantial part. In contracts of this class the price is an essential condition, which determines the nature and the value of the contract, and until it is fixed the parties may be left in statu quo by the mere refusal to enforce the agreement. They fall so near the line, however, that a court of equity will readily enforce an agreement of sale for a fair price, or for the reasonable value of the property, on the ground that that is certain which can be made certain, and that the court may itself ascertain the fair price or the reasonable value. Milnes v. Gery, 14 Ves., Jr., 400, 404. Thus far the two rules that equity will specifically enforce a contract for the sale of real estate and that it will not enforce an agreement to arbitrate claims or to appraise property run pari passu. There is, however, a class of cases to which both rules appear to apply, but in which the application of one necessarily excludes the use of the other. They are cases in which a contract of sale of real estate springs from a broader agreement, which has been partly performed, so that the parties may not be placed in their original situations by a mere refusal to enforce the agreement of sale, and the stipulation for the appraisal of the value or the determination of the price is a subsidiary or auxiliary part of the same contract. In cases of this nature it is clearly inequitable to permit a party to an agreement to deprive a complainant of its benefit by his own wrong by means of his unjustifiable refusal to appoint the appraisers which he has solemnly agreed to select, and in that way to avoid the discharge of his obligation. Large amounts of money are often invested in reliance upon such an agreement, and the defaulting party frequently receives the substantial benefits of the contract before he avails himself of this device to repudiate it. He then refuses to name appraisers, and argues that his contract is that the price of the property shall be determined by persons whom the parties shall select, and that a court of equity may not lawfully fix the price or select the parties to determine it because such a course of action would substitute the master or the court for the parties' appraisers, and would thus make a new agreement for them, which no court may lawfully do. The answer to this contention, however, is that it is not the court but the defaulter himself who by his own refusal to perform his contract deprives himself of the benefit of the appraisers to be chosen by the parties; that it does not lie in his mouth to say that the court may not select the valuers as long as he wrongfully refuses to do so, and that he is estopped from taking advantage of his own wrong to prevent the complainant from successfully invoking the aid of a court of equity to compel him to perform his agreement. The authorities upon this subject are not entirely in accord, but the more cogent reasons and the weight of authority sustain these salutary rules: Where in a contract of sale of real estate at a price to be fixed by appraisers chosen by the parties, the stipulation for the valuers is not a condition nor the essence of the agreement, but is subsidiary or auxiliary to its main purpose and scope, and the parties may not be left or placed in statu quo by a refusal to enforce the contract, a court of equity may determine the price itself, by its master or by appraisers of its own selection, and may enforce specific performance of the agreement of sale. But where the stipulation for the appraisers is a condition or the essence of the contract of sale, and a refusal to enforce it will leave the parties in their original situations when the agreement was made, a court of equity will not specifically enforce it. Union Pac. Ry. Co. v. Chicago, R. I. & P. Ry. Co., 51 Fed. 309, 330, 2 C. C. A. 174, 244; Tscheider v. Biddle, 4 Dill. 58, 62, Fed. Cas. No. 14,210; Cherryvale Water Co. v. City of Cherryvale, 65 Kan. 219, 69 Pac. 176, 180; Town of Bristol v. Bristol & Warren Waterworks, 19 R. I. 413, 34 Atl. 359, 361, 32 L. R. A. 740; Fry on Specific Performance, §§ 247, 342, 348; Waterman on Specific Performance, §§ 44, 47; Pomeroy on Contracts, §§ 150, 151; Coles v. Peck, 96 Ind. 333, 339, 49 Am. Rep. 161; Herman v. Babcock, 103 Ind. 461, 3 N. E. 142; Biddle v. Ramsey, 52 Mo. 153, 159; Black v. Rogers, 75 Mo. 441, 449; Braintree Water Supply Co. v. Braintree, 146 Mass. 482, 487, 16 N. E. 420; Parson v. Ambos (Ga.) 48 S. E. 696; Hall v. Warren, 9 Ves. 605; Gourlay v. Duke of Somersett, 19 Ves. 429; Richardson v. Smith, L. R. 5 Ch. 648; Dinham v. Bradford, L. R. 5 Ch. 519. The case under consideration falls far within the first rule. The main purpose and scope of this contract was the construction of the waterworks and the supply of water to the city and its inhabitants. The stipulation for a determination of the price by appraisers in case of a sale was neither a condition nor the essence of the agreement nor of the contract of sale. It was an incident of each,, a stipulation not of substance but of mode. Moreover, the contract prescribes the standard by which the price shall be measured. It provides that it shall be based upon the productive worth of the waterworks, and not upon their cost. The stipulation for appraisers, therefore, is but a designation of the method of the selection of those who shall take the necessary accounting, and apply this measure for the determination of the price. The ascertainment of this standard of measurement is necessarily conditioned by an accounting of the income and expenses of the waterworks during a reasonable length of time anterior to the date of sale, and a calculation from this accounting and from the net income it will disclose of the productive worth of the property. The consideration and settlement of issues dependent upon the taking of accounts composed of many items is one of the great heads of equity jurisprudence, and the appointment of an accountant, the examination and confirmation of his report, are the ordinary functions of the chancellor. The stipulation for the choice of appraisers is therefore merely incidental to the contract of sale, and it provides for an act which may be well and wisely performed by a court of equity. Again, the water company or some of its predecessors in interest invested thousands of dollars in these works and in their operation, while the city held them bound by their agreement to continually offer to sell them to the city for their productive worth. The city may not rescind the originalagreement of 1885 because it has received the substantial benefits of the contract, and the parties cannot be restored to their original situations. In October, 1904, the city exercised its option, and accepted the continuing offer of the company to sell. By the terms of the contract of 1885 the city had agreed to notify the water company whether or not it would accept this offer as early as October 31, 1904. The acceptance of the city bound the water company to sell its property to the city at the price fixed in the contract, and it was not until September, 1905, that the city declined to perform, and repudiated its contract of purchase. If the city was not to buy the property, the water company had the privilege and the right by the express terms of the contract to secure another franchise, or an extension of the franchise which it held, if it could do so, and if it could not, to sell to another who might be able to accomplish this result; and it had the right to know that it could exercise this privilege, and that it could embrace every opportunity that offered during the 12 months which followed October 31, 1904. These were valuable rights and opportunities. The acceptance of the offer by the city deprived the water company of all of them for more than 10 of the short 12 months during which the city had covenanted with the water company that it should be free to exercise and enjoy them if the city itself did not purchase, and it is now too late to restore them. The lost opportunities of those 10 months can never be returned to the water company, and to permit the city to deprive the water company of its right under the contract to protect its property or to sell it to another by holding it to its agreement to sell it to the city until it was too late for the company to exercise that right, and until its property was at the mercy of the city, and then to permit the |

Porphobilinogen Knitting Chart (19x29 sts)
Mom K, use in good health on whatever project you have in mind. When I knit with my molecular charts, I knit them into the project directly while other use duplicate stitches to make the patterns.
I had actually been playing with charts inspired by heme groups and other siderophores (iron carriers) because the complexity of cyclic rings would be beautiful in fair isle. Some aspect of these will be shared when I finally create my Christmas stockings, but I thought it appropriate to include them here as well.
Heme inspired chart 1 - 26x26 (left), heme molecule (right)
Heme inspired chart 2 - 25x25

For decades, futurists have been promising a cashless society and all the convenience that comes with it. So far though, the technology we have available hasn't lived up to the promise.
Sure, we're moving inexorably in the direction of a cashless society, but we're doing so at a snail's pace. We're moving in such tiny increments that it sometimes seems that the day will never arrive.
Fortunately, that's changing, at least if Amazon has anything to say about it. Recently, the US Patent and Trademark Office published a patent application from Amazon detailing a touchless scanning system. If the company moves forward with the development of the technology described in the patent application, the future could see Amazon customers to pay at the checkout counter simply by swiping their hand.
In the here and now, visitors to 'Amazon Go Cashierless Stores' need to scan an app to get in and check out, but that could change markedly in the years ahead.
Granted, filing a patent application and actually creating a viable technology around it are two very different things. However, if this technology makes it into the real world, it stands to change the face of shopping forever.
According to the application filed, Amazon's vision for the technology would be the development of "a scanner device that is used to obtain raw images of a user's palm that is within a field of view of the scanner...the first set of images depict external characteristics, such as lines and creases in the user's palm while the second set of images depict internal anatomical structures, such as veins, bones, soft tissue, or other structures beneath the epidermis of the skin."
Based on the early read, the technology sounds as ambitious as it is amazing. However, Amazon has pulled off larger miracles than this. We admire the vision and look forward to seeing how things develop from here.

People complain about PowerPoint, but like any tool, its usefulness depends 100% on how you use it. You should know how to take advantage of its features while having a sound approach to visual presentations. Here are some tips to keep in mind when putting the slides together and presenting them.
Keep Slides Simple!
The main advice for anyone making PowerPoint slides is to keep them simple. Don't include detailed charts that are hard to read or aren't instantly understandable. It works better to have a clear image or two that help tell your story. Even basic images, like a brick wall to indicate a roadblock that has to be overcome, will help your point stick with the audience much more than a detailed flow chart showing how you identified what caused the roadblock.
Another basic concept for slidesmanship is not to overdo the bells and whistles available in PowerPoint. Simple fonts without special effects work best and prevent distractions. One of the biggest pitfalls is overdoing animations on slides. Make sure that any motion or changes on the slides actually correspond to something in the real world. An example would be a home makeover, where the change is part of the story. Having words flying around on the page for no reason doesn't help anything.
Don't Let Slides Dominate the Presentation
After all that slide prep, remember that the presentation should make the audience focus on you and what you are saying, not the content of the slides. Even though the slides took hours to prepare, they are just there to support YOUR story, not replace you. You should be talking to the audience, NOT to the slides. They will remember you and what you are saying, not what appeared briefly on a screen. It's also an easy trap to comment on the slides as you make your presentation ("sorry for the eye-chart" or "this is my favorite graphic"). That's unprofessional and just further distracts from you and your story.
PowerPoint Replacing a Report
Unfortunately, PowerPoint often has to serve as a reference document, not just a presentation tool. No one wants to create a presentation AND write a report – and no client wants to pay for both – so PowerPoint gets pressed into service as both. So, you need to be clever about keeping the slides presentation-worthy while capturing more information than you actually present. This can be done with more details in the notes section – useful for listing sources, links to other information, and assumptions – or you can also have backup slides with more details and background. If you use a handout, it should just be the main slides that you present, so that the recipient isn't put off by a thick stack of paper. The electronic version that you send as a follow-up can include all of the backup material.
Practical Matter
Don't forget that your brilliant slides might be printed in black and white or as two (or more!) per page, or it might get PDF'ed by the recipient, killing all of your gripping animations. Make sure that your story still makes sense when those visual compromises are made. This will help your slides last and serve as a useful tool for the user beyond the meeting where you presented them. That can only help your own brand if you are seen as the creator of useful content!

Marriage and divorce are life-changing events, the effects of which are evident in innumerable ways — including on the bathroom scale.
Both marriage and divorce appear to lead to weight gain among couples, but each occasion affects men and women differently, according to a new study. Researchers from Ohio State University found that women tended to gain more weight than men after marriage, while after a divorce, men's girth expanded more than women's.
Previous studies of weight gain and coupledom have looked at average gains and losses, but sociology professor Zhenchao Qian and his doctoral student Dmitry Tumin decided to break down the weight effects by gender to better understand whether marital transitions affected men differently than women.
The researchers looked at survey data from a nationally representative sample of more than 10,000 men and women who were 14 to 22 years old when the survey began in 1979. The participants were questioned every year until 1994, and then every other year afterward.
(PHOTOS: Love and Marriage on TV)
The scientists found interesting gender differences when they focused on the two-year mark after a marriage or divorce. Although both men and women who married tended to gain weight compared with their counterparts who stayed single, women tended to gain more weight than men.
Two years after a divorce, separated partners tended to be heavier compared with couples who remained married, but conversely, men posted larger weight gains than women.
The study did not delve into what particular lifestyle habits — in diet or physical activity, for example — may have changed after either marriage or divorce to lead to weight gain, but the relationship between weight and life events remained strong after the researchers accounted for potential confounding factors such as race, obesity at the start of the study, education and income.
Qian and Tumin have some theories, based on previous research by others on the subject. Following marriage, the researchers suggest, wives may encourage their husbands to adopt a healthier lifestyle, helping men maintain their weight or even lose a few excess pounds. After divorce, however, men may return to their pound-packing habits.
(READ: Unemployed Men Are More Likely to Divorce)
Women, on the other hand, may tend to eat more and exercise less after getting married and starting a family because of the stresses of child bearing and maintaining a household.
"Marital transitions, like any change in life, have an impact on people," says Qian. "There is a shock to these events, and our research shows that men and women deal with them differently. Never-married women tend to take care of their health and body more carefully than never-married men, for example, so after marriage, women are more likely to gain compared to their never-married counterparts. Men, on the other hand, gain from the supervision that comes with being part of a family, so they tend to lose weight after marriage compared to women."
The effects were strongest among those who were 30 or older at the time they married or divorced. Younger people didn't show as consistent a pattern in weight gain or loss after such events.
The new data are being presented on Monday in Las Vegas at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association.

I have a very close relationship with the land where I live. Wiltshire is an ancient and sacred landscape; many barrows, standing stone circles, and chalk white hill horses fill the landscape and are an ever present reminder of the past. The worked and carved silhouettes of hills changed by ancient people stand against the sky all around, reminding us all of the depth of history and knowledge held here. Hares and badgers live in close proximity and I often see beautiful foxes running across the fields.
From the outset, I've tried to bring this feeling of connection into my silver work and paintings and create a feeling of held magic, ancient knowledge and transformation within each piece. Most of my pieces are of animals living directly here on this land, but a few are of creatures now gone from these places.
Each silver piece I make has a hidden element, known only to me and the person who wears it. On the reverse of the silver are secret words, prose and phrases that link the animal or bird to the silver and connect the wearer into a place of remembering and recognition. Why use words? Words are magic and words are spells. Words take you to a place outside of yourself where the everyday does not exist, where hares can talk and bears can read the stars, where chalk horses come alive under the moon and gallop across the land. I want each piece to bring connection and magic and for the wearer to feel that every time they wear a piece of my jewellery, or see one of my paintings.

God is the Creator and Ruler of mankind and the universe
(Genesis 1:1, 26-27; Psalm 90:2). He has eternally existed in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God (Matthew 28:19; I John 5:7).
(Genesis 1:1, 26-27; Psalm 90:2). He has eternally existed in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God (Matthew 28:19; I John 5:7).
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. The Lord Jesus Christ is fully and literally God in a human form (I Timothy 3:16). He was conceived of the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35), in the womb of a virgin named Mary (Isaiah 7:14), and received a human body. He was tempted by Satan in all points like we are, yet without sin (Matthew 4:1-11; Hebrews 4:15; I John 2:16). Jesus allowed Himself to be crucified in order to pay the penalty deserved for all our sin (Romans 5:11-21, II Corinthians 5:21). He literally and bodily rose again from the grave on the third day (I Corinthians 15:3-4), and now sits on the right hand of the Father in heaven (Colossians 3:1).
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is fully God and is the current, earthly manifestation of God through His indwelling of the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ (I Corinthians 3:16; John 16:7). The Holy Spirit seals the believer and baptizes (immerses) him into the body of Christ at the moment of salvation (I Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 1:13) with the goal of teaching God's word and conforming the believer to the very image of Christ (Ephesians 1:3-14; I Corinthians 2:9-16). All spiritual blessings are received at the time of salvation (Ephesians 1:3). The Holy Spirit gives gifts to every believer as He wills so the believer might effectively communicate the love of Christ (I Corinthians 12-14; Ephesians 4:11-16). As believers, we seek to live under the control of the Holy Spirit daily (Galatians 5:22-25).
The Bible
The Bible is God's word. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. All Scripture was given by inspiration of God (II Timothy 3:16) and God has promised to preserve every jot and tittle of what He inspired (Matthew 5:18). The Bible was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit, and is therefore the truth of God without any mixture of error (II Peter 1:20-21). We hold to the Authorized Version (King James Bible) as the inerrant standard for English speaking people and believe we find within it the certainty of the words of truth (Psalm12:6-7; Proverbs 22:20-21).
Human Beings
Mankind is the supreme object of God's creation (Genesis 1:26-27; Psalm 8:3-6). Mankind was created by God in complete innocence in a perfect environment, but of his own free will, chose to sin against God (Genesis 2:15-17; 3:6). The result of Adam's sin is not only physical death and spiritual death (separation from God for all eternity) for all mankind, but the fall also endowed upon all mankind a sinful nature (Romans 5:12). Therefore, all people are sinners, not only by constraint, but by choice, and are unable to regain their former position of innocence, and are under just condemnation without defense or excuse before God (Romans 3:23; Isaiah 53:6; 59:1-2)
Salvation is by God's grace alone on the basis of the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross and in His resurrection power. Anyone who will recognize and believe by faith that their sin separates them from God, and will turn from their sin to God by personally believing in their heart and confessing with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord will be saved (Romans 10:9-10, 13). Salvation is God's free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5). To become a Christian you must receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior for the forgiveness of sin, and to be saved from sin's penalty (Romans 6:23; John 1:12; 14:6). When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into His life by faith. The act of salvation is just as definite and decisive as physical birth (John 3:1-7).
Eternal Security
Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the true believer is secure in that salvation for eternity (Romans 8:35-39). If you have been genuinely saved, you cannot lose that (I John 2:19). Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security (John 10:28-29; I Peter 1:3-5).
The Church
The local assembly of believers (the church) is God's instrument in this age. While all genuine, born-again believers in Christ share an organic family relationship, the overwhelming number of references of the word "church" in the Bible apply to a local, visible assembly of believers (Acts 14:23; Ephesians 1:22-23; 4:11-16). At the second coming of Christ, all genuine believers from the time of Christ's ascension will be united together as the body of Christ (I Thessalonians 4:13-18). Until then, it is the responsibility of each local church to continue in evangelism, discipleship, and missions both independently and interdependently (Matthew 28:18-20). Each local assembly should be as self-governing, self-supporting and self-propagating as possible. Practicing the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper and operating under the leadership of those who hold the office of pastor (also known as bishop or elder), and assisted by those who hold the office of deacon (Matthew 28:18-20; I Corinthians 11:23-34; I Timothy 3:1-13; I Peter 5:1-4; Hebrews 13:17). Every member of the local church has the responsibility to minister the word of God and support the ministry through prayer, holy living, tithes, and offerings (I Corinthians 16:2; Malachi 3:10; Acts 4:34-37; II Corinthians 8:7; Acts 2:41-47; 13:1-4).
People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation (Romans 6:23). Those who reject Christ will be eternally separated from God in a literal place called hell. Those who receive Christ as Lord and Savior will gain eternal life and be with God forever (John 3:16; I John 5:11-13; Revelation 20:14-15).
Satan is a real, created, historical being, not allegorical or figurative. Satan is God's enemy and seeks to keep unbelievers lost (II Corinthians 4:3-4; Acts 26:18) and Christians defeated (I Peter 5:8; Daniel 7:25). Satan is a fallen cherub who was lifted up in pride and rebelled against God, leading an army of angelic beings with him (Isaiah 14:12-17; Ezekiel 28:11-18; II Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6; Revelation 12:4). His defeat was sealed by the work of Christ on the cross (Hebrews 2:14). His final destiny is the lake of fire forever (Revelation 20:10).
Adam & Eve
The Genesis account of creation is historical, not allegorical or figurative. Adam was a real, historical person, created by the direct act of God and in God's image (Genesis 1-2). Adam chose to sin against God through the free will God gave him and reaped the wages of death. As the originator of the human race, Adam passed his sinful nature to all mankind (Romans 5:12). All men are sinners by birth and become sinners by experience (Romans 3) for which the wages of sin are death (Romans 6:23).
The Return of Christ
There will be a literal, physical return of Jesus Christ to the earth in power and great glory to judge the world and reign (Acts 1:11; II Thessalonians 1:7-10). We believe in a pre-tribulation view of the rapture, meaning shortly before Christ's second coming, all genuine believers will be raptured out to meet the Lord in the air (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Corinthians 15:51-52) followed by a seven year period of tribulation on earth during which time God will judge His people Israel and all without Christ (I Thessalonians 5:1-11; Matthew 24). We also believe in a pre-millennial view of Christ's return, meaning that period of tribulation will be ended by Christ's personal return to rule for a literal period of a thousand years (Revelation 20:1-6; Matthew 25:31-46).
All mankind will spend eternity either with Christ or eternally separated from Him. The lost who die wait in a literal hell for the day of final judgment where they will be punished for their sin in a literal lake of fire. This is an event known as the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15). Those who have accepted Christ as Savior will immediately be with the Lord when they die physically (II Corinthians 5:6-8) and one day experience a bodily resurrection to everlasting life (Philippians 3:20-21; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Corinthians 15:51-58). The saved will appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ to receive either rewards or loss of rewards based upon their stewardship of faithful service to the Lord (Romans 14:10; II Corinthians 5:10).

Regional Precipitation Trends: Distinguishing Natural Variability from Anthropogenic Forcing
Martin Hoerling
Jon Eischeid and Judith Perlwitz
Abstract |
In this study, the nature and causes for observed regional precipitation trends during 1977–2006 are diagnosed. It is found that major features of regional trends in annual precipitation during 1977–2006 are consistent with an atmospheric response to observed sea surface temperature (SST) variability. This includes drying over the eastern Pacific Ocean that extends into western portions of the Americas related to a cooling of eastern Pacific SSTs, and broad increases in rainfall over the tropical Eastern Hemisphere, including a Sahelian rainfall recovery and increased wetness over the Indo–West Pacific related to North Atlantic and Indo–West Pacific ocean warming. It is further determined that these relationships between SST and rainfall change are generally not symptomatic of human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and aerosols. The intensity of regional trends simulated in climate models using observed time variability in greenhouse gases, tropospheric sulfate aerosol, and solar and volcanic aerosol forcing are appreciably weaker than those observed and also weaker than those simulated in atmospheric models using only observed SST forcing. The pattern of rainfall trends occurring in response to such external radiative forcing also departs significantly from observations, especially a simulated increase in rainfall over the tropical Pacific and southeastern Australia that are opposite in sign to the actual drying in these areas.
Additional experiments illustrate that the discrepancy between observed and GHG-forced rainfall changes during 1977–2006 results mostly from the differences between observed and externally forced SST trends. Only weak rainfall sensitivity is found to occur in response to the uniform distribution of SST warming that is induced by GHG and aerosol forcing, whereas the particular pattern of the observed SST change that includes an increased SST contrast between the east Pacific and the Indian Ocean, and strong regional warming of the North Atlantic Ocean, was a key driver of regional rainfall trends. The results of this attribution study on the causes for 1977–2006 regional rainfall changes are used to discuss prediction challenges including the likelihood that recent rainfall trends might persist.

Back in the day my home for 6 years was Calgary in the province of Alberta living in the foothills of the Rockies with one foot firmly on the prairies of Alberta. Almost every Sunday you would find us down in Chinatown having Dim Sum but we often made the trek to a restaurant called the Yum Yum Tree in the south end on 14th Avenue. I have no idea if the restaurant is there still, but, their ginger fried beef is a highlight in my food memories. They did not invent the dish but it was a perfect mix of sweet, savoury, and the right amount of crunchiness and heat.
It is said that in 1975 the cook and husband of the owner of Chinatown's Silver Inn restaurant in Calgary came up with the crunchy ginger beef with sweet sauce that we know today. Calgary-style ginger beef is a westernized version of a traditional Northern Chinese-style dish which consists of beef slices stir-fried with ginger and green onions. Since North Americans enjoy deep fried foods and sweet and sour tasting sauces, chef Leung's version consists of crispy deep fried strips of beef coated with a dark sweet and spicy sauce.
It can still, even after 37 years, be difficult to find the Alberta style of ginger beef outside of that province, although it can be found on the menus of restaurants in other large Canadian cities. Here in K-town there is a restaurant called Wok Inn with its sister restaurants for take-out Wok Out. Aren't these great names for a Chinese restaurant? You "walk in" you "walk out." Someone was thinking! They have delicious Canadian-ized Chinese to boot! On the menu they have a more sweet and sour version of the famous Calgary Ginger Fried Beef. You can find a version of the original Calgary recipe here. But on the menu they also have a Ginger Fried Chicken recipe that is one of my favourites. Sometimes I stop by on my way home from work to take home my favourite dish. So why not attempt to make it at home?
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon sake
Cornstarch or potato starch for coating the chicken

More 2011 Titles of Interest, from ChiZine: Brent Hayward, Claude Lalumiere and Derryl Murphy (by Liviu Suciu)
From the author of the remarkable debut Filaria (FBC Rv), May will see the publication of The Fecund's Melancholy Daughter, a new novel that promises much and starts extremely well. With a title for the ages and a cover that looks pretty cool, here is the blurb:
The city is crumbling . . . . Clouds over Nowy Solum have not parted in a hundred years. Gods have deserted their temples. In the last days of a dying city, the decadent chatelaine chooses a forbidden lover, separating twin outcasts and setting them on independent trajectories that might finally bring down the palace. Then, screaming from the skies, a lone god reappears and a limbless prophet is carried through South Gate, into Nowy Solum, with a message for all: beyond the city, something ancient and monumental has come awake.
From the author of the remarkable collection Objects of Worship (FBC Rv), April will see the publication of The Door to Lost Pages. From what I gleamed so far, this book is a mix between a novel and a collection of related stories in the vein of the superb Things We Didn't See Coming.
Here is the blurb:
Step through the door to lost pages and escape a life you never wanted . . .
On her tenth birthday, Aydee runs away from home and from her neglectful parents. At first, surviving alone on the streets is harsh, but a series of frightening, bewildering encounters with strange primordial creatures leads her to a bookshop called Lost Pages, where she steps into a fantastic, sometimes dangerous, but exciting life. Aydee grows up at the reality-hopping Lost Pages, which seems to attract a clientele that is both eccentric and desperate. She is repeatedly drawn into an eternal war between enigmatic gods and monsters, until the day she is confronted by her worst nightmare: herself.
*************************************************************Napier's Bones (tbp March) is a novel that attracted my attention for two reasons; first as being published by Chi-Zine which so far never put a book out that "felt for me" and disappointed; second the blurb is irresistible for someone with a math background, so I decided to give it a try and I will let you know what I think - the first pages read quite well, so I will get to this one sooner rather than later.
What if, in a world where mathematics could be magic, the thing you desired most was also trying to kill you?
Dom is a numerate, someone able to see and control numbers and use them as a form of magic. While seeking a mathematical item of immense power that has only been whispered about, it all goes south for Dom, and he finds himself on the run across three countries on two continents, with two unlikely companions in tow and a numerate of unfathomable strength hot on his tail. Along the way are giant creatures of stone and earth, statues come alive, numerical wonders cast over hundreds of years, and the very real possibility that he won't make it out of this alive. And both of his companions have secrets so deep that even they aren't aware of them, and one of those secrets could make for a seismic shift in how Dom and all other numerates see and interact with the world.
Edit 2/28: I finished this and it was a very good read, conventional (UF) formula in structure but the content made it worth and the author has a flowing style that kept the pages turning. Here are some raw thoughts with the full review in several weeks:
"Napier's Bones is a very entertaining mix of sf and UF; the structure is all UF (evil being with superpowers, awakened in our day and time wants to take over and change all, good guys have to stop it but to start they are too puny, so there are chases, hidden powers, unexpected allies and all the paraphernalia of traditional fantasy set in our world and time) but the content is all sfnal since the conceit of the novel is numbers as magic and there is a lot of real fun numerology - I have no idea if the author has read Martin Gardner's ultra-entertaining essays on numerology but the stuff in the novel is as good as anything there and the book is worth reading if only for that.
The characters are ok though nothing outside stock and some of the major twists are easily seen but the writing flows well, the pages turn by themselves and the book is a very entertaining reading experience with a great ending. Another recommended book - and a positive surprise for 2011."
