Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) will remain California Senate president pro tem for another month and a half, but for all practical purposes the end of the legislative session at midnight Sunday brings a conclusion to his six-year leadership of state government's upper house. In the Assembly, Speaker Emeritus John A. Pérez (D-Los Angeles) handed over his gavel weeks ago to Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), but the Sunday deadline marks for him, as well, the virtual end of the run. The two men are leaving the Legislature with California in better shape and on a better trajectory than it was when they came in, and both deserve credit for the improvement.
Steinberg assumed his leadership post in late 2008, as the Great Recession was exacerbating California's already dysfunctional budget process. A few accounting tricks had hidden the extent of the problem, but in fact, the state was laboring under a wildly unbalanced spending plan that pushed a $42-billion shortfall into the following year and onto Steinberg's watch. The new pro tem defended the poorest and most vulnerable Californians from deep cutbacks in social programs but ultimately had to sell many of those cuts to his caucus, just as Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Senate and Assembly GOP leaders lobbied theirs for tax increases. Voters rejected the resulting budget deal, leaving Steinberg in epic battles with Schwarzenegger over cuts to education and furloughs of state workers.
He undertook that task with characteristic skill and patience, working first with Schwarzenegger and Speaker Karen Bass, then with Pérez, then with Gov. Jerry Brown. Steinberg leaves with the shortfall replaced by a surplus, and even if Brown deserves the lion's share of credit — for his political skill in persuading voters who rejected the 2009 taxes to embrace them in 2012 — Steinberg's role in piloting the state to better times is undeniable. His leadership bridged the state's meltdown years and its current recovery. He managed, somehow, to cut when he had to cut while protecting safety-net programs from permanent extinction.
He is similarly the one constant among California leaders on a host of substantive issues, cobbling together consensus on a 2009 water bond. That measure made its way to the ballot twice, only to be pulled back. Under Steinberg's careful guidance, a version of it will at last come before voters this fall.
Some of Steinberg's most remarkable accomplishments remain virtually unknown outside government. Many Californians, for example, have heard of AB 32, the state's landmark bill to curb greenhouse gas emissions and put the state back in the forefront of environmental leadership. Steinberg's contribution was the lesser-known but also vitally important SB 375, implementing legislation focusing on auto exhaust, the single biggest source of carbon emissions. The bill has overhauled local decision-making on transportation funding and is redrawing the map of California by discouraging wasteful sprawl and guiding policymakers toward better land-use decisions.
This page has not always supported Steinberg's big ideas, opposing, for example, the ballot-box budgeting of Proposition 63, his measure to fund mental health services through an additional tax on the state's highest earners. Despite our differences over tax policy, however, Steinberg's motives were unquestionably correct, and the results of his measure significant. California had been badly failing to meet the mental health needs of its people, funding was needed, and the tax approved by voters has made a positive difference — as have his many other efforts to improve the state's mental health care.
Pérez became Assembly speaker in 2010, in time for one monumental budget clash with Schwarzenegger over job cuts. The new speaker prevailed and immediately took a leading role in shaping Proposition 25, the ballot measure that ended a major cause of California's budgetary paralysis: the requirement of a two-thirds vote to pass a budget. That change ended the stranglehold that a minority of Republican lawmakers had over the spending process.
Pérez then helped guide Democrats to an unexpected Assembly supermajority large enough to raise taxes without Republican input, but he responded with the restraint and wisdom of a much older and more experienced leader. Democrats eager to flex their new power and spend new money confronted a sternly frugal Pérez, winning back for the Legislature some of the public confidence that had been lost in previous years.
His leadership was a study in the shrewd use of power, a style Brown laughingly praised last week as the "mushroom theory" of government because Pérez effectively kept so many observers in the dark. It was more than that, though. Pérez knew when to be demanding and when to be conciliatory. After winning the power to eliminate Republicans from policy discussions, for instance, he made certain that several were given leadership posts anyway. He was and is a Democrat, but he led the Assembly, not just his party.
His approach to governing fit well with Brown's, and he supported the governor — and in fact sometimes took the lead — on establishing a healthy budget reserve. Although a stern disciplinarian, he nevertheless retained the respect and support of his caucus by employing candor and pragmatism. He fought against tuition increases, protected important social programs and was a champion for veterans.
He was the state's first openly gay speaker and never shrank from the responsibilities of that groundbreaking role. Yes, his self-confidence sometimes got the better of him; he campaigned for state controller as though it was an entitlement — and lost a spot in the runoff by just a few hundred votes. That job may not have been the right fit for Pérez, but there is little doubt that he will find his way back to the corridors of power.
Pérez's and Steinberg's role in extricating the state from its budget mess and its political gridlock may never be fully appreciated by most Californians, who are far more likely to define this era in terms of its unlikely governors: the Austrian body builder, followed by a return of the man who served a generation ago. Nevertheless, the state has been well served by these leaders of the Assembly and the Senate, and it owes them a nod of gratitude as they exit the Capitol.

During the past forty years, working with both its partners and predecessor organizations, ICE's volunteer leaders and professional staff have been at the forefront of efforts in Chicago to assist communities in crisis. Their campaigns are "stories of hope" as they have changed the footprint and spirit of Chicago's communities in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. These successes include:
Stopping the Crosstown Expressway from being built in the early 1970s;
Confronting "redlining" by local financial institutions in the mid-1970s, leading to the first savings and lending disclosure agreements in the nation and triggering financial institutions' support for local community mortgages and development;
Instituting the nation's first Guaranteed Home Equity Assurance programs in three Chicago communities encompassing more than 100,000 households;
Developing the local model of police/community partnership informed by local crime statistics now used in every Chicago community through the city's CAPS program;
Helping to conceive, draft and win support to pass the Chicago School Reform Act of 1988 that introduced site-based school governance to 540 Chicago public schools;
Blocking the City of Chicago's efforts to close all of its community-based mental health clinics, while developing an alternate funding model for expanded mental health services that now spans three communities and will be providing services to more than 400,000 residents, regardless of ability to pay.
Helping Bronzeville residents fight the 2016 Olympics, once the city failed to commit to supporting affordable homes on the 500 city-owned vacant lots in the community.
Completing 12-week, 24 session Citizens Now afterschool program at 6 schools in North Lawndale, Austin and Irving Park with 116 graduating 5th-8th graders.
Work by ICE's leaders and staff to increase community empowerment was the common denominator in each campaign to preserve safety, vitality, stability, and economic opportunity in all of our city's communities.

"... with the marginal cost of generation from diesel power systems hovering around $250-$400/MWh and PV systems being able to be installed for an effective cost of between $200-$240/MWh (low penetration and excluding storage), it must be assumed that there are some other, non-cost related underlying structural barriers that are preventing or delaying the deployment of renewables."What's stopping solar's assault on diesel? | Business Spectator

"Local control is especially important for farmers and rural communities since local residents have the knowledge and understanding of the areas they live in and can therefore make decisions about what is best for the community. This is especially true when it comes to regulations, such as zoning regulations, that impact the natural resources that can make or break a community. Farmers and ranchers depend on clean and adequate water and healthy soils."

Time for another bike ride. Today we rode out to a winery at Ulupalakua on the south side of the island. The fist half of the route covered the same roads that we are going to take for our epic Haleakala ride (it looks like the Haleakala ride is going to be moved up to Thursday for some better weather), which gave us some insight on things to come.
To start things out, we exited the B&B going uphill for a short ride to the town of Makawao. After making our way through town, the hill became much more steep as we continued on up the mountain side. After a little bit, the climb mellowed out a bit, but it was still a climb. It took just over an hour to get to the road that goes to the summit of the mountain.
The support vehicle was waiting at the intersection and after giving a quick refill on one of my bottles, instructed me to proceed up toward the summit to 4500' (the intersection is at about 3500'), and then descend down before heading off to the winery. So we climbed some more! As we neared the 4500' turn around, I heard a big squawk coming from the side of the hill and standing there was a big ring neck rooster staring at me. Didn't have my camera handy, so I didn't get a picture. When we made it up to 4500' we stopped to rest for a minute, which gave me the opportunity to pull the camera out and take a picture of the marker on the road.
At this point there has been a whole lot of up. 10 miles into the ride and we have ascended 2500' and only descended 180'. That was about to change – now we went down, down, down. My hands were getting fatigued working the brakes (I spoke with the coaches later in the evening to talk about a good strategy to help with this) which made the descent a little stressful for me. I made it to the bottom ok. Then it was another short climb before a long descent to the winery.
Unlike coming down from the side of Haleakala (I guess all the downs are technically coming down from the side of Haleakala on this side of the island), the descent into the winery was awesome. It was not too steep, with lots of winding corners that weren't too sharp. Did grab a quick picture of the view on the way down.
Then we were at the winery. Stopped for a bit to rest and eat some food. Topped of our bottles, and then it was time to climb back up that long hill we just came down! Here is a picture of the winery tasting room.
and the area where we gathered with the bikes to restock them.
The way back was the same as the way out, just reversed (minus the side excursion up the side of Haleakala).
Once we got back to Makawao, we stopped at the grocery store to pick up a quick bite to eat.
The total length of the ride today was 45 miles with an elevation gain of about 5500' (Garmin file is here). I did much better on this ride. I think I've nailed down a good nutrition system, I just need to make sure that I don't run out of anything. While my legs are tired tonight, I feel much better than I did after the ride on Sunday. Time to head off to bed so I can be ready for the "Rambo" hike and open water swim tomorrow.

Passlogix Inc. introduces universal login technology for Microsoft
10 March, 2010
category: Biometrics, Corporate, Digital ID, Government
A new authentication manager for Microsoft Windows will now enable any identification device to be used for login. Passlogix Inc.'s v-GO Universal Authentication Manager (v-GO UAM) is said to not only speed up user's network access and operations, but also cut costs of the back-end authentication infrastructure by more than 85% per user. Corporate markets who used to pay $100 per user may pay as little as $15.
The v-GO UAM will accept all forms of identification including door access badges, government-issued citizen identity cards, standalone or built-in laptop biometrics, one time passwords via mobile phones, and question and answer sequences.
With the use of data storage and administration with Microsoft Active Directory, organizations can eliminate the usual separate authentication infrastructure.
Those who are already using security devices like door access badges for instance, will now be able to use that same device for Windows logon. With the instillation of v-GO UAM, they would tap their badge on a badge reader attached to their computer and enter a PIN code.
v-GO UAM is available both on a standalone basis at $15 per user and as part of Passlogix's v-GO Access Accelerator Suite.

So I guess it is pretty evident that these "daily posts" are not so daily. It has been that way for some time so I just wanted to thank the readers that stick around 🙂 I considered changing the title, but we all live day to day, and sometimes there are things to write about and sometimes not so much. So thanks for hanging in there!
On a different note, I have found myself these last few months easily brought down and glum. I had to recognize that these times happen, and when they do it is important to focus on being grateful. As humans, we get distracted by all the things going on around us that we forget to see the good or positive in situations. Even reminding myself the mantra to "just be positive" does not always work, and can often sound hollow and insincere after a while. Over the years I have pondered how that once meaningful statement now just echos without any impact now. For myself, it boiled down to gratefulness. I realized I was not being grateful for all the wonderful things around me. So I became more analytical in my viewpoint and looked at the people, and things in my life that really do have an impact. That lead me to appreciate people in my life who have taught me life lessons.
For example, I have really appreciated all the things I learned from my daughter. As a Scorpio, if you subscribe to that sort of thing, I am a natural grudge holder. Getting up there in years, I have seen the destruction that can wreck on friendships and even oneself. My daughter has never been a grudge holder. For a while I thought that was not very intelligent and thought she was just opening herself up to be hurt by these people again. I could not understand it. But then I realized that by being open with people, and FORGIVING, that she was really being open to herself opportunity and happiness. When I allowed myself to discover this, to actually SEE it, it made a world of difference for me. And in the last few months I have also passed on this wisdom to my son, as well as the source of where I learned it from. I only hope he can learn from her as I did.
As easy as it is to look around and find faults in others and situations, it has been literally life changing to alter my outlook and approach to things, and to open myself up to opportunities to be happy. When you set up roadblocks in life, like grudges, or negative thought patterns, the only person who truly suffers is yourself. Roadblocks, if you will, walls preventing all the goodness from coming in.
I once read a quote that when you worry, it is just paying interest on things that may not even come to be. I wish I knew who said this, as I am sure they have many more pearls of wisdom too. But I allowed that to sink in and realized how very true a statement that is. I reflected on all the things I have agonized over, some of them obsessively, and how lots of those things did not even ever happen. All the sleep I have lost over the years $#Q%$@#^%)*&^_ Live and learn I guess!
Nobody is perfect, we all have weaknesses, but the great thing is that presents opportunities to learn. All the bad stuff just gives us balance, and without it, perhaps we would not be able to appreciate the good things as much. Think about if everything was good or perfect all the time. We wouldn't appreciate it anything. So in appreciating even the negative things, we can find the silver lining. And life does become so much more enjoyable if we just look at the bigger picture and see the value in life and circumstance.
Well that is it for now, hopefully that wasn't to heavy dear readers 😀

Re: PERFORMANCE GRAPH ERROR/ACTIVITIES LISTED UNDER WRONG MONTH
Hello MY CARD 69 I concur with what you are seeing as I am just getting around to reviewing all the reinstalls from the Windows 10 1803 update issues. Shortly I will perform a system optimization and see whether it appear in the correct month and report. I will also pass this up and see if the dev team is aware of it.
Re: PERFORMANCE GRAPH ERROR/ACTIVITIES LISTED UNDER WRONG MONTH
MY CARD 69 - I performed a manual disk optimization then rebooted my system. Checking previous months for March and April now shows none since I have a clean install as of yesterday. My screenshot shows the correct tab for May selected and the correct information shown.
Re: PERFORMANCE GRAPH ERROR/ACTIVITIES LISTED UNDER WRONG MONTH
Mine is correct with me doing nothing other than what I always do. No reinstalls of Norton. Perhaps another bug caused by April Update for Windows 10. Microsoft is always changing things so Norton can't fix everything before the Update is released.
Have a Good Night and

William Is Immortal?
The Season 11 finale brought back William in a big way and revealed that his powers go a lot farther than simply manipulating what people can see. He can also use his mind to literally explode the bodies of other people, which he did to take out a bunch of bad guys (including Barbara Hershey's character) who were about to kill Mulder and abduct him. Mulder, Scully, and Skinner raced to try and track William down, but the Cigarette-Smoking Man and Monica Reyes were on the chase as well. Although William used his powers to take on the guise of Mulder and fool Scully, his plan backfired when he was cornered by CSM. Believing that William was Mulder, CSM just went ahead and shot him between the eyes, knocking him off a ledge into the water, apparently deceased. William certainly seemed to be super dead… until the episode revealed him bobbing up to the surface, perfect alive. Either one of William's powers is surviving shots to the head or William inherited his mom's likely (although unconfirmed) immortality.

Alessandra, Eric: You have been chairing the ISSTA 2016 Artifact Evaluation Committee. What exactly do you do?
ISSTA 2016 allows authors of accepted research papers to submit artifacts. An artifact can be any kind of content related to a paper, e.g., detailed experimental data, complete experimental setup, test suites, or tools. Submitting an artifact is optional but highly encouraged. Our job is to assess such artifacts for whether they support the stated results, and whether they help in reproducing and/or extending the work.
What happens with my artifact after I submitted it?
Artifacts are being reviewed by at least two members of a dedicated Artifact Evaluation Committee with respect to the following criteria (if applicable):
- How easy is it to use the provided artifact? (Easy to reuse)
- Does the artifact allow one to reproduce the results stated in the paper? (Consistent)
- What is the fraction of the results that can be reproduced? (Complete)
- Does the artifact describe and demonstrate how to apply the presented method to a new input? (Well documented)
If all members agree on the value of an artifact, the respective paper receives the Artifact Evaluation Award.
Does it help the paper getting accepted if it has an artifact?
For the first time, ISSTA further allowed authors of any submitted paper to strengthen the argument for their paper by submitting an artifact ahead of time, i.e., before the PC meeting takes place. During the paper review process, if the results were not convincing enough, reviewers could ask for additional support as part of the author's response. Such support could come as an artifact, which would then get an extra evaluation from the committee. Their report would provide additional evidence that the results are as stated.
Does it hurt a paper if there is no artifact? Or if the artifact does not work?
At this point, we want to encourage authors to submit artifacts, so there's no potential penalties for the paper that could follow from submitting an artifact. Authors of course get feedback from the evaluation committee, which should help them in making improvements.
For me as an author, what's the benefit in having my artifact evaluated?
Your paper gets extra recognition. In the printed proceedings, your paper will appear with a special mark noting that your artifact has been evaluated successfully. This tells readers that they can put additional trust in your results, and that your artifact may be useful to them. Both of these increase the impact of your work. Also, at the conference, we plan to set aside some extra time to promote papers with great artifacts.
For me as a reader, what's the benefit in seeing an artifact evaluated?
If the artifact is well evaluated, you can put additional trust in the author's results, and the chances that the artifact may be useful to you is higher. Artifacts are usually available as open source and can be built upon. This greatly aids reproducibility of results and extension by others.
What's it like to evaluate an artifact, compared to reviewing a paper?
The work is in fact very different and requires significantly more time. When evaluating an artifact one must not only understand the author's paper and experiments. On top of this one must also understand the author's tools and data sets, at the very least from a user's point of view. Due to a frequent lack of proper documentation, this can be challenging. One goal of the artifact evaluation is therefore to force authors to some extent to document their artifacts well. The goal of an artifact evaluation is first of all to test any provided tools on the provided data sets to reproduce the paper's results. A second goal, however, is to also test the tooling on novel, unanticipated inputs to judge its stability. This is important to know for others who might like to use the tool for their own research.
Any experiences you'd like to share?
One of the things that causes us trouble was the lack of a proper online reviewing system for this task. We required a setup where paper reviewers were doing double-blind reviews and should have been able to see the results of artifact evaluation, whereas artifact reviewers were performing a single-blind review (i.e., authors were known to those reviewers) and required access to paper reviews. No current conference management system supports such a scenario. We ended up using two separate instances of EasyChair, which resulted in a lot of manual labor, though, for everyone involved. If we want to continue this scheme, this should be improved in the upcoming years.
In the long run, should every paper come with an artifact that allows assessment of results?
It seems like we as a community need to decide how far we wish to take artifact evaluation. In other communities, for instance the natural sciences, a research result only counts as a result once it has been reproduced by multiple parties. We believe that Computer Science should follow this path, but this requires that artifacts be made available. Some of us thus argue that artifact evaluation should be mandatory, and that insufficiently stable artifacts should also prevent the respective paper from being published, as its results cannot be relied upon. For ISSTA'16, the PC decided to not yet go down this road. In order to encourage authors to continue submitting artifacts in the following years to come, it was decided to instead have artifact evaluation only positively influence paper acceptance. The both of us think that this should change for upcoming iterations.
Thanks a lot for your work!

REVEALED, an interview with Scott Indermaur! by SpiritMessages
What would you put in your box? This is the big question that you will ask yourself as you explore the REVEALED Project!
The REVEALED project was created by professional photographer, Scott Indermaur. It began with the idea of presenting his subjects with a simple wooden box, and asking them to place items inside the box that represented their spiritual experience. He then would take a portrait of each subject with their box.
On the surface it appears to be a simple idea, but with each person Scott photographed, he began to see much more than the items they put inside their box.
In Scott's own words: "What I find to be most interesting is the profound effect this project has had on so many of my subjects. Given the opportunity to look within, many experienced a journey that took them much deeper than their initial inner self-examination, which revealed undiscovered truths about themselves."
Please join me for a fabulous our with Scott, and please check out the many amazing REVEALED portraits by visiting: http://www.revealedproject.com/

What do these things have in common?
Did you say, "All things that would help me get clients?" until you got to online dating?
Kind of... but not exactly.
(Click the image above to share how awesome failure is on FB/Twitter/Pinterest)
They all require that you not only embrace, but actually seek out failure in order to succeed.
Let me repeat: Seeking failure is the fastest path to the win.
Seeking failure is the fastest path to the win.
1) Seeking failure takes away the fear. Try big, expect to fail, no fear!
2) Seeking failure promotes risk. If you're not caught up in rejection and fear of not achieving your "outcome," you're much more likely to put yourself out there and take a risk - and risks are what drive outstanding success.
3) The more failure you collect, the more opportunities you create for success. In The Prosperous Coach, the authors talk about "collecting NOs". In other words, to get a YES, you have to get out there and find as many people as you can to talk to. And most will say NO... but without collecting NO, you'll never find the person who says YES!
4) Failure delivers the most concentrated spiritual shot of espresso you can ask for. Failure asks you to get past: Fear, rejection, ideas about worthiness, worrying about if anyone likes you, perfectionism, and comparison-itis. Failure asks you to learn to accept and detach from the outcome so you can play in a whole new field.
5) Failure, you'll come to learn, is not a failure at all. It's a new door that opens - in fact, failure is usually 12 new doors that open simultaneous plus a bunch of windows. Seeking failure means that you're totally jazzed up that things didn't go "your way" because you recognize that you created opportunity along the way.
Seeking failure - not just embracing but seeking failure - is the shortcut to getting out from behind the castle walls of fear.

text: The change of InputManualFeedTimeout to InputMediaLoadTimeout that has been discussed at the last two meetings failed to get into the Internet Draft of the Printer MIB. How and when will this get done? The relevant minutes and messages are posted below. Bob Pentecost HP ================================ Printer Working Group Meeting Minutes November 7-8, 1996 New Orleans, Louisiana <snip> Printer MIB/MIF Project (PMP) <snip> A brief discussion was conducted on the changes to the Input Switching Group, as documented in mailing list postings by Bob Pentecost. It was agreed that Bob's comments were accurate, and that the MIB draft should be updated to include his changes. ... The pertinent part of the mail messages follow: At 10:26 11/04/96 PST, Bob Pentecost wrote: >Thanks to Randy for getting the Printer MIB updated. > >I looked for a change that I expected and found that it had not been made. >When I checked the October meeting minutes, I couldn't find a record of the >discussion I had in my own notes.

My notes also show the we changed the name of the prtInputManualFeedTimeout object to prtInputMediaLoadTimeout, but the name of the group remains Input Switching Group. I think we can also delete the phrase: which translates to 'this input subunit doesn't support manual feed'" in the sentences: The event which causes the printer to enter the waiting state is product specific. A value of (-1) implies 'other' or 'infinite" which translates to 'this input subunit doesn't support manual feed'. A value of (-2) implies 'unknown'. I was unable to open either the August or the current draft, since I suspect that it is WORD version 7.0 and I am running windows 6.0 on 3.11 windows. I'm sorry that I was unable to submit the actual changes as agreed in NYC. I hope that the above helps. Randy, If you could use SAVE AS and save the .doc as word version 6.0 then I could make the changes (in this section only) and re-post this section separately. Or you can make the edits. Tom

Allow us to boast a bit... We're proud to be the first beverage company in North America to collect blue box materials to produce our 100% recycled plastic bottles, USING NO NEW PLASTIC.
Beginning in 1995, we have rapidly grown to become one of the largest water bottling companies in North America. At heart, we are a family-owned operation from a farming background. We organically farm about 3,000 acres as part of our source protection plan. We believe that in taking care of the land, the land will take care of you. We started to look at the environmental footprint of our water business and decided that we wanted to be different.
We're changing the way you see bottled water. Every day, we continue to reduce our carbon footprint, finding new ways to recycle, reduce energy consumption and minimize waste. We've built upon the values of environmental stewardship, innovation along with an ethical, business model that ultimately offers consumers a high-quality, healthy bottled water beverage at a great value.
The journey of our Ice River green bottle starts with you. Simply toss a beverage container into your blue bin and leave the rest to us!FIND OUT MORE
Without even knowing it, you've probably had our natural spring water in more places than one. Ice River supplies many of North America's leading grocery, drug, mass merchandise chains and foodservice operators with private label bottled water - a product that is convenient, healthy and delivers tremendous value.
We are the only North American Bottler with a plastics recycling operation that self-manufactures recycled PET into 100% recycled bottles using the most state-of-the-art equipment possible. To top this off, we buy post-consumer baled P.E.T. from Material Recovery Facilities (MRF); post-consumer soda and beverage bottles, condiment bottles, and other types of food packages. We also offer our 100% RPET bottle, and recognize retailers appreciate that we don't make new plastic and are happy to put their own brand on a bottle that represents sustainability.
Our team excels when it comes to lean manufacturing of our bottled water: high quality, low cost, minimal waste. We know life isn't one-size-fits-all. That's why we manufacture and fill a wide variety of bottle sizes. Our most popular is 16.9 fl oz (500mL), but we also make bottles as small as 8 fl oz (250mL), and as large as 4 gallons (15L). You want multipacks, too? We've got them, in a variety of configurations. With thirteen bottling operations across the United States and Canada we efficiently service all our markets.
We have a passion for making products that are good for people and good for the earth.VIEW PRODUCTS

While the rest of the world has been preoccupied with the Crimean coup (and not without some justification), politics in Taiwan has taken a critical turn, one that shouldn't be ignored.
For nearly six decades since Chiang Kai-shek sought refuge on the island in 1949, Taiwan's leaders have been strongly anti-Communist. After the Chiang family's reign ended in 1988, President Lee Teng-hui democratized the islands (Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu), including winning a mandate from the voters for his final four-year-term in 1996. Lee's anti-Communism was never questioned, and the voters maintained that by electing Chen Shui-bian of the Democratic Progressive Party to succeed him.
In 2008, Ma Ying-jeou was elected on the Kuomintang banner (Chiang and Lee's party – although Lee left to form the anti-Communist Taiwan Solidarity Union), ostensibly as a fellow anti-Communist. However, after his re-election in 2012, Ma signed a cross-straits trade agreement on services with the Chinese Communist Party. It is an agreement that has led to great concern among many Taiwanese about CCP influence in Taiwan's economy.
This is where things went off the rails.
Ma's allies in the legislature appeared to turn back on their agreement to conduct a detailed review of the pact (among its many problems, it might run afoul of the World Trade Organization agreement – Taipei Times). In response, a group of anti-Communist students seized control of the legislature, and ground all business to a halt.
For those manning the protest (and the half-million who supported them over the weekend – Taipei Times), it is a shining moment in popular democracy. I'm guessing the Kuomintang backers see it more as a lawless mob.
For us in "the west" – who are more used to legislatures acting without large protests shutting them down – it may all seem a bit confusing. It shouldn't be.
The key fact is this: Taiwan's voters have never openly selected a pro-CCP candidate. Ma was widely perceived as a strong anti-Communist in 2008, and he had yet to really shed that image in 2012. Those of us inside and outside Taiwan who simply stopped trusting Kuomintang as a matter of principle had a hard time convincing the voters (I include myself because I have long supported the DPP).
Unfortunately, we are being proven right, and the Taiwanese people have clearly decided enough is enough.
Ma has no political mandate for the services deal with the CCP. He should recognize that and withdraw it from the legislature.

I'm pretty sure that over the years I've proclaimed that this is in fact the best job on the planet but I'm going to be shouting from a proverbial rooftop this Saturday as I get to photograph my step sisters wedding! How unbelievably amazing is that?! It's one thing to witness almost strangers on their big day but when it's your own family it's extraordinary. I will be crying with happiness as Kate marries the love of her life and am totally blown away they wanted me to capture it all. No pressure.
Kate and Sophie met at work; Kate is an A&E doctor and Sophie a paramedic – actual real life savers. On their 2 year anniversary Kate surprised Sophie by proposing to her whilst on holiday in Cornwall and I couldn't be happier for them.
To celebrate this rather marvellous event I've blogged a few of my favourite images from their pre shoot this summer. We headed to Apley Pool in Telford and enjoyed the early evening sunshine and chatted about their plans for a small but wonderful wedding with their closest friends and family. Can't wait for Saturday guys!

Homeopathic consultations treat the whole person, not just the symptom. Using homeopathy medicine can heal the root cause of chronic illness such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and joint-pain. Homeopathic medicines can also support the healing of acute pain after a surgery or injury. One size does not fit all - a homeopathic consultation will ensure you get the best care possible for your healing.
My goal is to help you heal your body so that you can experience freedom, take control over your health, and reduce future health care costs.
What is a homeopathic consultation like?
Homeopathic consultations are set up over the phone, Skype, or in person. An initial consultation lasts about one hour, though sometimes it can take more time because I want to ensure I get a full analysis. I will ask for a detailed history of your health history as well as your current symptoms. You can expect a lot of questions and I ask for patience, honesty, and openness so I can provide the best care. Consultations for children are done in the same way, and I encourage them to share and explain what they are feeling in their words. Parent, guardian and family member observations are appreciated in the overall case.
Follow up evaluations
Follow up evaluations are done either in person or over the phone, scheduled approximately one month after the initial consultation and thereafter as needed. Typically, I ask you to check in with me on how you are doing within the first week or two after taking the remedy, or if there are any questions and/or concerns that you have. As the layers of illness are lifted one at a time, a new picture usually develops. Follow up evaluations give me the information I need to determine if and when a new remedy is needed to continue your healing process.
How many times will I need to have homeopathic services?
Just as symptoms vary from person to person, the frequency and length of homeopathic services vary from person to person. A straightforward case (when we are able to catch symptoms in the early stages) may require two or three visits spread out over a few months; more complicated cases may require several visits over a shorter period of time.
HOw much does it cost?
The cost of services for office visits and telephone consultations are based on the length of time and the complexity of the service. I offer brief telephone consultations at no cost. Clinical services and telephone consultations will be charged by the hour and the level of medical expertise required.

Gerald Heard was unrivaled as a catalyst for the propagation of Vedanta/
"Gerald Heard was unrivaled as a catalyst for the propagation of Vedanta, largely because he sparked the interest of people who would, in turn, reach millions of others. He was also uncannily prescient about the future of American spirituality, and his role in accelerating the evolution of consciousness in the West was huge, thanks to his impact on key movers and shakers in the consciousness movement."
Philip Goldberg, spiritual counselor, interfaith minister, and author of American Veda, Los Angeles, CA, Nov. 2009

The new V and A exhibition "The Future Starts Here", which includes some of our lidar work, had its preview and VIP opening yesterday. It's quite a spectacle, with some amazing exhibits. The opening also had its fair share of VIPs and famous faces. And me. :-)
|Museum director Tristram Hunt opening proceedings.
|And here we are! Our lidar animation from Caxiuanã, originally generated by Andy.
I was approached by Rory Hyde, one of the curators of the exhibition along with Mariana Pestana, who wanted to include our 3D lidar work from tropical forests, as an example of how new technology is allowing us to understand and hopefully manage our world better.
Other work included in the exhibition includes: a chargeable shirt which can power a phone; a drone ship which can clean up oil spills; an autonomous flying wing intended to cruise the skies using solar power and broadcasting internet access to remote areas; AI bots intended to help mediate and hopefully improve political discourse and democratic process. Lots of fun, thought-provoking and definitely worth a visit if you're in London between now and November.

Our work also features in the glossy accompanying book, and it's quite a thrill to see it amongst all the other incredible ideas and technology. I got to speak to some very interesting people whose work was also featured, as well as people passing who were interested in my work. There may be more connections arising out of this yet!

How to Achieve Mind-Body Balance: The Art of Chilling Out!
Work-Life Balance
Work-Life Balance is a common buzzword in the professional world today. We hear that balancing the scales between work and life is necessary for effectiveness.
Productive companies are jumping on the bandwagon to provide resources for employees to experience more balance. If they don't, their employees may become ineffective, burn out, or even quit working altogether.
Mind-Body Balance
On a personal level, striving for Mind-Body Balance is much the same. You are in charge of making sure your mind and body has the resources it needs for balance. Some of us do it better than others! Just like at work, if you don't do this, your body and mind can become ineffective, burn out, or even quit working altogether!
When you experience real balance, you notice your body and brain working in tandem to reach the ultimate focus, creativity, innovation and effectiveness. You'll dream, create, innovate and achieve!
The Brain – Our Command Center for Mind-Body Balance
Homeostasis is when the body and mind are in optimal balance. Our brain is in charge of this balance and will do all it can to compensate for any external stress throwing us off balance. The brain signals the body when stress is happening and the body shifts to the stress on command, often abandoning important body functions like digestion, immunity, heart rate and even sex drive.
For example, when a person is cold, the body releases thyroid hormones to generate warmth. Or when a foreign microbe enters the body, the immune system responds to fight off infection. Even more significant, when stress occurs at your business, with your team or in a relationship, your mind and body react the same way, signaling a whole host of physical and psychological reactions – throwing us all out of whack once again.
When the mind and body are optimally balanced, most people aren't even aware that there is a command center within us orchestrating the whole symphony of harmony. You just feel good. You are energized. Focus is simple. Creative ideas just flow out of you. This state of homeostasis is the ultimate mind-body balance!
And then… something goes awry and throws you out of balance. In the short-term, this may result in feeling rundown, or coming down with a cold. Long-term, the results can be debilitating physically, mentally, and emotionally. This might include physical disease, mental illness, emotional breakdown, or some combination of these.
Chronic stress is one of the main hijackers of homeostasis. When the brain experiences a perceived threat, it responds by releasing stress hormones. Ideally, these are meant to avoid danger. In short bursts, this can be helpful. But when stress is ongoing, the continual release of cortisol, adrenaline, and other hormones wreaks havoc on mind-body balance.
Red Alert
During stress, the brain sends a red alert message to kick the body into gear and deal with the stress. If this is an isolated event, the brain does its job and easily returns to balance. When this happens day after day after day, the body and brain begin to work on overdrive and don't easily recover. Raised blood pressure and heart rate, increased inflammation, spiked blood sugar, limited sleep, and other physical responses produce devastating consequences over time to both the body and to your ability to function at your peak in your business and relationships. Focus, creativity, productivity – they all suffer.
Yuck – In Your Body, Emotions & Mind
Your body can experience illness, headaches, stomach issues, chest pain, inflammation or other reactions.
Your emotions could flare and you can be more moody, angry, depressed, lonely, irritable, overwhelmed, and just feel unpleasant and yucky!
Your ability to focus and create may be challenged. You may experience memory loss, anxious thoughts, slow processing, lack of creativity, and other minimized brain function.
Build Your Chill Out Muscle
What's the answer? Learn to chill out and build your natural relaxation response. You have one, and like most people, you probably don't use it that often. Building the chill out and relax muscle can reverse the impact of stress. So much research is out there that prove this point over and over and over again.
Just like working out at the gym, take some time for chill out training. Train your mind to refocus, rebalance, and achieve homeostasis. In a tight schedule, beginning with just one minute per day can help. Try the one minute chill out training at the end of this article to start!
Once you begin to see the benefits, you'll want more. And as you devote more time to achieving balance, you'll become more productive in other ways. When you start to feel more energy, more productivity, more focus and more creativity, you will want more! Trust me on this… This is the binge you want to indulge in!
Ways to Chill Out and Relax
Some simple suggestions for ways you can chill out and transform your mind-body balance:
Although it happens automatically, breathing is critical to brain/body balance. Stress causes rapid, shallow, and less productive breathing. Slow breathing can induce calm and tranquility by creating new neural pathways that restore balance.
Take a moment to think about your breathing. Slow, gentle breaths. In-through-your-nose. Out-through-your-mouth. Restore calm simply with your breath.
Chill Out & Meditate
Meditation… Mindfulness… It's all the buzz. And, take a look a bit deeper and you will find that the original meditators who began thousands of years ago were really on to something.
Try This Simple Chill Out Exercise
Sit in solitude for a moment. Shift your focus from the world outside of you to the world within you. As you breathe, notice the physical space your body occupies. Gently notice the inflow and outflow of your breath. With each breath, notice if your mind wanders and gently bring it back to your breath. Be present and experience the joy of the very moment you are in. Chill out through meditation.
Just adding a bit of stretching to your daily routine can reduce tension and create balance in your mind and body. As stretching promotes elasticity, it loosens the connective tissues and muscles that can often create pain. In addition, stretching increases the blood flow, allowing oxygen to better reach various parts of the body and improving their function. Stretching may also improve sleep quality and stimulate feelings of homeostasis. Simply put, stretching helps you to chill out.
Moving your body without asking your mind to work can be relaxing. This isn't a power-walk meant for exercise or to get somewhere. It's a meandering, gentle walk to explore and allow the mind to wander. Doing this in a park or area of nature adds to the benefit of breathing clean air and relaxing the mind.
Go Barefoot
Known as "earthing", connecting your bare feet to the earth has been shown to offer significant health benefits. A natural charge of electrons offered by the earth can boost antioxidants, improve sleep, reduce pain, and minimize inflammation. So take your shoes off and chill out!
Just like walking on a balance beam, sometimes you may need to lean one direction or another to stabilize yourself. But with practice, you can learn to listen to your own needs and respond in healthy ways.
Be Well, Be Joyful, Be Inspired…
Have a Beautiful Day…

WASHINGTON - American University track & field seniors Matthew Rainey and Liam Purdy earned two of the top times in the Patriot League during a busy two-meet weekend for the Eagles as the team enters the heart of the outdoor season.
- Rainey and Purdy were two of the three student-athletes, along with senior Adriana Hooks from the women's team, to travel to the Raleigh Relays, hosted by N.C. State on Friday and Saturday (March 29-30).
- Rainey opened events with an 18th-place finish in the men's 1,500-meter run, closing just off his personal record (PR) with a 3:49.04 crossing. That time puts him over a second ahead of the rest of the Patriot League field and has postseason implication as it ranks 23rd in the NCAA East Region.
- Purdy also put himself in contention for a postseason run after he placed second in the men's 800m run with a new PR of 1:50.28. He also leads the current Patriot League rankings and sits in 23rd in the NCAA East Region. That performance also bumped him up in the top-ten lists as he now ties with Sean Duffy for the No. 2 time in program history. Purdy previously ranked fourth in the record books with his PR from the same meet in 2018 (1:50.93). The current record is 1:46.92, held by Dustin Emrani since 2007.
- The majority of the Eagles' squad competed a bit closer to home with the Navy Spring Meet on Saturday, March 30, in Annapolis, Md.
- Sophomore Max Lustig opened the day with the first of four top-five performances, finishing third in the 3000m steeplechase with a new PR (9:52.12).
- Senior Trevor Patton (men's long jump), junior Arianna Lopez (women's 800m) and freshman Aidan Caggiano (men's 1500m) each placed fifth in their respective fields to highlight Saturday's events.
- The women's 4x400m relay closed the weekend's performances with the seventh-fastest time in program history as the foursome of Emily Houghton, Kaitlyn McTernan, Lopez, and Adriana Hooks finished sixth overall in 4:16.07.
"We had a split squad this weekend with a few athletes competing at the Raleigh Relays in N.C. and the rest of the team racing at Navy. Matthew Rainey and Liam Purdy had great weekends at Raleigh, both garnering Patriot League-leading times in the 1500m and 800m, respectively. At Navy, we had some great season openers along with some challenging days for some. We will continue to build on the momentum from this weekend's success and work on our weaknesses as we prepare to go back at it next weekend at the Colonial Relays in Williamsburg, Va."
The Eagles will travel to Williamsburg, Va., next weekend for the Colonial Relays, hosted by William & Mary at Zable Stadium from April 4-6.
