We all dislike email spam. It clogs up our inboxes, and causes good
engineers to spend way too much time creatively blocking or filtering
it out, while spammers creatively work to get around the blocks. In
my personal life, the spammers are winning. (My employer, Dell, makes
several security and spam-fighting products. I'm not using them for
my personal domains, so this series is not related to Dell products in
any way.)
I recently came across DMARC, the Domain-based Message Authentication,
Reporting & Conformance specification. One feature of DMARC is that it
allows mail receivers, after processing given piece of mail, to inform
an address at the sending domain of that mail's disposition: passed,
quarantined, or rejected. This is the first such feedback method I've
come across, and it seems to be gaining traction. Furthermore,
services such as dmarcian.com have popped up to act as DMARC report
receivers, which then display your aggregate results in a clear
A DMARC-compliant outbound mail server provides several useful bits of
information. 1) The domain publishes a valid Sender Policy Framework
(SPF) record. 2) The domain signs mail using Domain Keys Identified
Mail (DKIM). These are best practices now, in place by millions of
domains. In addition, the domain publishes its DMARC policy
recommendation, what an inbound mail server should do if a message
purporting to be from the domain fails both SPF and DKIM checks. The
policies today include "none" – do nothing special, "quarantine" –
treat the message as suspect, perhaps applying additional filtering or
sending to a spam folder, and "reject" – reject the message
immediately, sending a bounce back to the sender.
A DMARC-compliant inbound mail server validates each incoming message
against two things: compliance with the Sender Policy Framework (SPF)
and checks the DKIM signature. The server then follows the policy
suggested by the sending domain (none, quarantine, or reject), and
furthermore, reports back the results of its actions daily to the
purported sending domain.
I've been publishing SPF records for my personal and community
organization domains for several years, in hopes this would cut down
on spammers pretending to be from my domains. I recently added DKIM
signing, the next step in the process. With these two in place,
publishing a DMARC policy is very straightforward. So I did this,
publishing a "none" policy – just send me reports. And within a few
days, I started getting reports back, which I sent to dmarcian.com for
What did I find?
On a usual day, my personal domain, used by myself and family members,
sends maybe a hundred total emails, as reported by DMARC-reporting
inbound servers. My community org domains may send 1000-2000 emails a
day, particularly if we have announcements to everyone on our lists.
That seems about right.
In addition, spammers, mostly in Russia and other parts of Asia, are
sending upwards of 20,000-40,000+ spam messages pretending to come from my
personal domain, again as reported by DMARC-reporting inbound
servers. Hotmail's servers kindly are sending me reports for each
failed message they process thinking they were from me – a steady
stream of ~3600/day. No other DMARC servers have sent me such forensic
data yet.
For several days, I experimented with a DMARC policy of "quarantine",
with various small percentages from 10 to 50 percent. And sure
enough, dmarcian reports that the threat/spam mails were in fact
quarantined. It was really cool to wake up in the morning, check the
overnight results, and see the threat/spam graphs show half of the
messages being quarantined. It's working!
However, dmarcian also reported that some of my legitimate emails,
originating from my servers and being DKIM-signed, were also getting
quarantined. What? That wasn't what I hoped for.
It turns out that authentic messages were in fact being forwarded –
some by mailing lists, some by individuals setting up forwarding from
one inbound mail address to another. Neither of which I can do
anything about.
This isn't a new problem – it's the Achilles heel of SPF, which DMARC then inherits. Forwarding email through a mailing list typically makes subtle yet valid changes while keeping the From: line the same.
The Subject: line may get a [listname] prepended to it. The body may
get a "click here to unsubscribe" footer added to it. These
invalidate the original DKIM signature. The list may strip out the
original DKIM signature. And of course, it remails the message,
outbound using its own server name and IP, which causes it to then
fail SPF tests.
Sure, there are suggested solutions, like getting everyone to use
Sender Rewriting Scheme (SRS) when remailing, and fixing Mailman and
every other mailing list manager. Wake me when all the world's email
servers have added that, I will have been dead a very very long time.
So, I switched back to policy "none", and get the reports, aggravated
that there's nothing I can directly do to protect the good name of my
domains. It's hard both knowing the size of the problem, and knowing
we have no technological method of solving it today. Food for
In part 2 of this series, I will describe my system setup for using
the above techniques.
Do you use SPF? Do you use DKIM? Do you publish a DMARC policy? If so, what has your experience been? Leave comments below.

two weeks later
We spent our Saturday morning at the market, a couple weeks ago. It was a pretty warm day so by the time we made it to the fountains, everyone was ready to cool off. Israel threw a big fit however and refused to go near them. We were persistent and it paid off. By the end of it he was completely drenched, was asking us to take his wet pants off and did not want to leave. Made a scene going in and a scene leaving. It's become our style now.

Post subject: Kiters strike again. Kanaha access likely lost?
Mr Ed Underwood from DLNR-DOBOR just confirmed that they are moving forward and preparing to install three sets of buoys at Kanaha Beach. These buoys will designate the expanded zones that will exclude all vessels and watercraft. This includes; kites, canoes, windsurfers, surfers, SUP etc. The expanded zone includes about three thousand five hundred (3500) feet of shoreline that will become an exclusive swim zone. This represents an huge increase over the currently used areas. Now any vessel or craft that attempts to enter or cross these expanded zones will be subject to increased enforcement which includes; fines and possible confiscation of equipment.
"Mr Underwood also confirmed that this enforcement action is in direct response to the confrontations between the kiteboarder and the swimmers at Ka'a point."
He also stated that there are currently no plans to update or amend the old rules, that are about to be enforced.
The DLNR-DOBOR confirmed that they have already built the marker buoys and anchor systems, and plan to install them very soon.
We anticipate that once these buoys are installed and the old zones are enforced, that it will become an extremely difficult task trying to reverse this process at a later time.

This has been attributed to one very rude kiter who was in a designated swimming area. A familly with children swimming told him to get out, so this idiot started shouting obscenities and ignored their request.
This does seem to be taking things to the extreme, It will not last long!

Ka'a point is right at Kite Beach, pretty far downwind of Kanaha. But with 3,500 feet of beach closer ,this would probably include lowers and upper kanaha. This would destroy windsurfing, as we know it on Maui. There aren't many other places. Sprecks, a terrible dirt road,limitedparking,no bathroom .
Hookipa, small launch, and beach. I couldn't see these places holding all the people from Kanaha. This is really bad for windsurfing there. But there are two sides to every story. One weekend day i went to Kanaha, and the locals were having some sort of Holiday, just packed ,no parking, so couldn't windsurf. Hmm..I'm thinking this is how the locals must feel , when they want to goto kanaha, and it's wall to wall windsufers, and they can't even find a parking place! This measure is taking it a bit too far,though.

How many people fly from how many continents each year just to WS at Kanaha? Multiply that by a week or three of lodging, food, gas, rental car, etc. and ask the Maui Chamber of Commerce if they're willing to cast much money aside.

Could not agree more isobars. Kanaha can handle a huge crowd. There will be a very big protests from many businesses that depend on kiters, windsurfers, canoe, surfrers, sup, etc.for their livelyhood. This will have a huge negative impact on the local economy. Money speaks.
No reason why we can't all coexist in harmony. What is needed are a few park police to permanently evict such fools as the one who caused this whole debacle.

Reminds me of a precedent. Utah was well on its way in Feb 1983 to voting to abolish daylight savings time. From my bed (broken back), I called every big or chain business, club, agency, etc. I could think of that depended on weekday outdoor recreation for its livelihood and asked them what the loss of an hour of evening daylight would do to their business. I phoned golf and tennis courses, the bass federation, ORV dealers and clubs, fishing and hunting clubs and stores, team sports groups and companies, and much more. I also phoned in to local talk radio programs during the evening rush hours, encouraging everyone to call their legislators.
Still bed-ridden, I phoned the state legislature the week the bill was voted on. The person who answered the phone said the state had
never received this many phone calls against any issue in state history, not even abortion IIRC
. This oft-proposed bill was so soundly defeated that she thought it would lay dormant for a LONG time now.
Pick up the phone, folks. Or try one of them Twitter things if so inclined and if you can cram your objection into a tweet. But there's nothing like a persuasive, two-way, verbal dialogue to get your message across.
BTW ... the congresswoman who kept proposing abolishing DST said the reason was that cows give less milk on DST.

If the police aren't right there AND cooperative, there's no reason people have to let one haole ahole destroy their access. As we've discussed regarding bad behavior in other locations in prior threads, there are many solutions to it.

I'm guessing that as the number of kiters increases this has been a growing problem. Last year in July, the kiters were coming way upwind - virtually throughout the whole park. Not all, but a few.
Hope they can work something out.

Hey everyone,
If you care about this...
Sign the petition
And if you visit Kanaha you may want to additionally email one of the Maui legislators listed in the post below--post lifted from the Soutwest/Hawaii/Mexico forum
sasussman wrote:
In addition to the petition, I recommend contacting our legislators directly. Those of us who live here on Maui should definitely write these representatives. Let them know you live here and you want these swim zones revised.
Those of you who don't live here, but who travel here, spending your good money here, should also write and let the legislators know that you could choose to go elsewhere and spend your money elsewhere.
You should all encourage changing swim zones to recognize that windsurfing and kitesurfing have become popular after these zones were established, and that Kanaha Beach Park has unique conditions that make it a world famous spot for these sports. You should encourage compromise, providing swim zones in some areas without impairing access. Please be polite.
Here are the email addresses of all of our Maui legislators. You can easily copy and paste this list:
Also, please contact the governor too. I don't have his email address but here is his online contact page:

Here's a copy of my email. I decided to send to State Senator English, who is the Maui (District 7) senator.
Dear State Senator English,
I'm sure you are aware of the recent tensions at Kanaha Beach Park, involving a very rude kitesurfer entering a swimming area. I am utterly disgusted with this kitesurfer's behavior, and acts such as this should not be tolerated. That said, I am dismayed by the looming outcome that this event has set in motion. As I understand it, a decades old, non-enforced for 25 years, swim zone rule is about to be suddenly imposed at Kanaha.
I am a regular visitor to Maui, coming from Massachusetts since 1986, for the express purpose of enjoying the excellent windsurfing conditions that Kanaha Beach provides. In the U.S. it really is "one of a kind" for windsurfing. I am writing you in the hope that you will consider the needs of ALL park users, and intervene to stop the proposed enforcement of the outdated swim zone rules. I believe a constructive discourse should be undertaken, involving the various groups of park users and the DOBOR and local government officials, before a hasty and counterproductive policy is set in place.
- The old swim zone rules for Kanaha, drafted in the 1980's, designate 3,000 feet of shoreline as "swim zone only", which, if enforced, would prohibit all other recreational users (surfers, standup paddlers, windsurfers, kitesurfers, kyakers, and the like) from accessing the water.
- In the 1980's when the swim zone rules were drafted for Kanaha, windsurfing was a relatively new sport. I think whoever drew up those rules did not realize what a precious windsurfing venue Kanaha was becoming. And the fact that these rules were never enforced allowed Kanaha to continue to evolve into the world class windsurfing destination that it is today. Of course, the other prime windsurfing location on Maui is Ho'okipa. But for us "mere mortal" windsurfers, where the conditions at Ho'okipa are too severe, Kanaha is really the only option. Thousands and thousands of windsurfers have enjoyed this beach, in harmony with swimmers and other recreational users, for decades. The majority of us are conscientious, and we generally self police with people who are unsafe or rude. This system has worked exceptionally well for a very long time. It is a shame that the kitesurfing incident occurred, but I believe the kiting community is just as disgusted with the offending kitesurfer's behavior as we all are.
- I have never seen the 3,000 foot swim zone marked or enforced in the 27 years that I've been visiting. There is in fact a roped/buoyed off swimming area there now of approximately 500 feet that seems perfectly adequate. The buoy rope was originally installed by a Maui windsurfing school in the 1980's. Generally I see about 1 - 6 people in the swim area at any one time. By contrast, on windy days there are between 100 - 200 windsurfers who use this beach, launching from either downwind or upwind of this swimming area.
I implore you to help gather the various factions together to have a productive discussion. I think you will find the vast majority of windsurfers, kitesurfers, standup paddlers, and other recreational water users are well meaning and thoughtful people. It would be a great tragedy indeed if the proposed unfair swim zone ruling were to be suddenly enforced, due to the unfortunate escalation of emotions that have occurred surrounding the kitesurfer incident. I think the present swim area arrangement has been working well. Perhaps there is room for improvement (such as clear signage maybe, so everyone knows the rules), but certainly a shutdown of access to all but swimmers is not warranted. A review of how this beach is currently used by the public would surely indicate there is no need for 3.000 feet of swimming only area! To enforce this rule would be a severe overreaction to an isolated incident. Should the proposed enforcement happen, I would undoubtably be forced to look elsewhere for my vacations, as would countless other visiting windsurfers. Also, this would severely hurt many local water-sport businesses and the local tourism industry.

Yesterday: Grabbed some lunch at Jimmy John's before catching the bus. Took the A bus home via Turkey Creek again last night, wrapping up Friday with a total of about 9.6 miles. No more silly in-action photos this week. Sorry.
It's 5:30 PM Saturday and I've done no riding. I probably won't get out tomorrow either. I've been pretty busy with other hobbies, other writings, work, and real life. These next 2 Sundays, I have after-hours server work to do from midnight until 4:00 AM. I'm not going to have the energy to ride tomorrow.
Then there's church. My mom, who usually takes care of slides and song lyrics, is sick with bronchitis, so I'll get to run sound, lights and video at the same time. Unfortunately, I'm pretty much the only one who can handle sound right now, and our video software isn't just some quick little PowerPoint knock-off, either. Very few people are comfortable running it. Have I mentioned how difficult it is to worship when you're running a 20-channel sound board, audio recording rig, and video software while trying to figure out what the heck the praise band is doing?
Also, to top things off, our eldest gerbil, Brain, isn't doing too well today. He seemed fine yesterday. Today, he's lethargic, off-balance, and disoriented. This is pretty much what's happened to every single other gerbil I've owned when it's their time, with the exception of Scooby, who died of cancer. We bought Brain with another gerbil, Pinky about 5 years ago. We thought they were both male. After years of playing with one another, I found EIGHT baby gerbils in the cage one day. Just out of no-where. One of them died shortly after birth. Pinky and Brain only a few weeks later squirted out another litter of five. Four of them died and Pinky soon followed them. I held her in my hands and watched her take her last breath. Her death started much, much like what Brain is doing right now. There are six remaining female gerbils from the two litters. I hope if Brain doesn't pull through this, he at least passes peacefully. It's odd how we get attached to pets. I know I'll be fine once this clears, but it doesn't make it any easier knowing that death is imminent.
So there you have it. The mess that is my life, sorted out into neatly organized paragraphs for your consumption. Collated Chaos.

I feel your pain. I lost my black female cat about 4 months ago. She was only two years old and I woke to find her stiff on the kitchen floor. It happened on a weekday morning so
I didn't have a chance to bury her untill evening..

Re: the riding. You didn't miss much. Cold, wind, and a touch of woe to round it off. The weather reports were wrong about the wind as far as I could tell.
Sounds like between keeping the praise band sounding good, and the gerbils, you had a pretty full weekend. I hope the gerbils are OK, or at least at peace.
We had a rat back in the day... they're supposed to live a couple of years before moving on. This one hung on for 5. It was a terribly sad day when he left us.

Product Descriptions:
This chunky knit blanket made from beautiful Snow White colour 100% Hypoallergenic merino wool. We use soft 23 micron wool for all our blankets and hand felt all our wool before knitting to make it as durable as possible.
There are 4 sizes you can chose from:
Baby Blanket: 80cm*120cm. Great for chair, single bed or sofa
Standard Blanket: 100cm*150cm. Great for Single bed
Large Blanket: 130cm*170cm. Great for double bed
Premium Blanket - 150*200 cm. Would be perfect on queen size bed.
Comfortable, stylish and luxurious, this merino wool blanket looks great in any room and will keep your space cozy those long winter nights.
Do you know what is the secret of Merino wool? It's in the finest fibre. Merino wool fibre is able to bend far more than other coarser wool fibres. It also has higher elasticity that helps prevent garments made with Merino wool from losing their shape.
So our giant knit merino wool blankets are not only looking stylish and cozy, but is made from softest wool on the earth.
Because Merino wool is made out of keratin, much like human hair, it is completely biodegradable. When it is eventually disposed of, it will breakdown, decomposing to release vital nutrients back into the soil, acting like a fertiliser. So use Merino wool and be Eco friendly :)
Care instructions:
100% Merino wool requires a good care!
Please remember that Giant knit merino wool blanket is intended as decorative designer product for gentle use, hand made from un-spun wool that has been hand-processed to make it as durable as possible. Merino wool is natural material and shedding and piling is normal for it. While you can find your blanket or throw has more pilling/shedding at the start, wool tend to felt itself, so give it a bit of time, be gentle with it and it will pay off becoming your best friend at home. The good thing, any pilling can easily be removed and is not a defect. Please use scissors and gently cut the piles. Some of you get used to remove piles from woolen products with your fingers, but please try not tease it with your hands, it will help to keep the fibre structure and prevent from further pilling, so your item will last longer.
Spot clean any spills under cold water.
Dry clean only when necessary.
Hand wash in cold water only.
Do not wring your item. Instead, gently press the water out. Dry out flat only and avoid direct sunlight.
Hand wash or Machine wash would make the wool felted. It will be much more durable but not so soft to touch anymore. I don't recommend to do it for more than once. Wool tend to shrink after washing. Here you find the chunky wool felting process explained.
Merino wool is naturally resist water and odor so there shouldn't be any problems while using this items.
Hope you will enjoy using your chunky knit blanket and it will last long!

Trevor Paglan, The Other Night Sky
Suppose you wanted to build your own drone—well, hold on a minute—why do you want to build your own drone?
What do you mean, "why?" The answer is, you'd go to Dronepedia first, and then to DIY Drones , where you'd find out where to get started with a simple kit or pre-made drone.
But suppose you just wanted to find out some of the latest info on the US government's top secret drone projects. Don't even ask me why, it should be obvious. You'd want to do like artist Trevor Paglen , and travel to remote testing locations to snap photographs of strange shapes taking off from military bases, along with the planespotters. Either that, or travel to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Iraq, Libya, and now Somalia with a good pair of binoculars.
And then if you want a little bit a speculation about drones, you pick up the paranoid defense blogging of Danger Room or the design-fiction of sousveillance and cyborg specialists like Tim Maly . And then you—
Okay. I thought it was clear, but if you want me to spell it out for you, I will. You are obsessed with drones. We all are. We live in a drone culture, just as we once lived in a car culture. The Northrop-Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk is your '55 Chevorlet. You just might not know it yet.
I have thirty-five browser tabs open, and each contains a fragment of the drone-mythos. Each is a glimpse at a situation, a bird's eye view of the terrain. So many channels, showing me the same thing: near-infinite data collection. With the help of Google, I'm drone-spotting—I'm turning a new critical perspective that I'm calling Drone Ethnography, back on itself.
All of us that use the internet are already practicing Drone Ethnography. Look at the features of drone technology: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Surveillance, Sousveillance. Networks of collected information, over land and in the sky. Now consider the "consumer" side of tech: mapping programs, location-aware pocket tech, public-sourced media databases, and the apps and algorithms by which we navigate these tools. We already study the world the way a drone sees it: from above, with a dozen unblinking eyes, recording everything with the cold indecision of algorithmic commands honed over time, affecting nothing—except, perhaps, a single, momentary touch, the momentary awareness and synchronicity of a piece of information discovered at precisely the right time. An arc connecting two points like the kiss from an air-to-surface missile. Our technological capacity for watching, recording, collecting, and archiving has never been wider, and has never been more automated. The way we look at the world—our basic ethnographic approach—is mimicking the technology of the drone.
Epistemological change in inevitable, but there is more going on here than a revolution in research tools. There is a feeling I can only describe as the presence of "The Swarm", a fundamental aesthetic of the drone-mythos. It's an unexpected mythological evolution that has come about along with the technological evolution. There's nothing groundbreaking about myths accompanying new technology. But this mythos is different. The industrial revolution didn't see a burgeoning number of DIY textile mills. This is more along the lines of the birth of the automobile—a seemingly simple invention that not only revolutionized its particular task, but also changed society.

Italy Ski Resorts
Italy: Interconnected Resorts And The Food Is Great -
The Italian ski resorts are scattered across the mountainous areas of the Alps and the Dolomites. Skiing and riding in Italy is generally a bit less expensive than the neighbouring resorts in France, Switzerland, and Austria. Italian resorts are also known for their family-friendly atmosphere, delicious food, and uncrowded slopes which means less queuing for lifts.
The Dolomites ski area offers hundreds of kilometres of skiable terrain ranging between 1500 and 3200 metres altitude and is connected by 450 lift systems. Dolomiti Superski features 1220 kilometres of ski slopes and 450 lift systems. The area comprises twelve connected ski areas, which combines to create the largest ski carousel in the world.
There are 12 ski resorts in the Dolomiti Superski: Cortina d'Ampezzo, Kronplatz, Alta Badia, Val Gardena, Val di Fassa, Arabba, Alta Pusteria Valle di Fiemme, San Martino di Castrozza, Valle Isarco, Trevalli-Moena, and Civetta. One of the most popular is Val Gardena with its 175 kilometres of runs connected by 83 lifts and 11 kilometres of cross-country slopes. The resort is best suited to intermediates and experts with its 32 blue runs, 23 red, and 18 black. Skiers and boarders can reach an altitude of 2518 metres.
The other ski carousel in the Dolomites is the Skiarama Dolomiti, with its 360 kilometres of slopes and 140 lifts. The eight ski resorts in Skiarama Dolomiti include: Madonna di Campiglio, Pinzolo, Folgarida-Marilleva, Pejo, Tonale, Andalo, Monte Bondone, and Folgaria. One of the most popular resorts is Madonna di Campiglio with its 150 kilometres of pistes connected by 24 lifts. The resort is best suited to intermediates and experts, with its 21 blue runs, 12 red, and six black. Skiers and boarders can reach an altitude of 2600 metres. The easiest route to the Dolomites is via Milan Airport.
The Milky Way ski area comprises 400 kilometres of pistes and 140 ski slopes connected by 93 lifts. The main ski resorts here include: Cesana, Claviere, Sauze d'Oulx, and Bardonecchia. Sauze d'Oulx is one of the larger, more popular, resorts in the area. It offers good intermediate runs, English-speaking ski and snowboard schools, and a lively après ski scene. Claviere is Italy's oldest resort and a genuine Italian village with plenty of charm.
Cesana has direct access to 39 individual pistes and plenty of skiing above 2500 metres, so snow is assured throughout the season. All levels of skier are well catered for in Bardonecchia, with 10 green runs, 28 blue, eight red, and six black. The easiest way to access the Milky Way ski area is via Turin Airport.
Italy's largest mountain range is the Appennine in Tuscany. The largest organised ski resort is Abetone, set 1400 metres altitude near the border between Tuscany and Emilia Romagna. The Tuscan town of Abetone is not far from Florence, Pisa and Lucca and has been popular with Italian skiers for more than 70 years. There are 80 kilometres of ski slopes here, which run down into four valleys: the Sestaione valley, Luce valley, and Lima and Scoltenna valleys. The 37 tree-lined slopes are linked by 21 modern chairlifts and gondolas. Abetone is the birthplace of an Olympic champion, Zeno Colo.

Facebook has made any items shared through the site available to the public since 2011, with more private settings available in a drop-down menu. Now that the company is starting to pay more attention to privacy and is trying to deal with users' News Feeds getting crushed under the weight of all the possible posts that can be fed to them, it seems to be recognizing the negatives of a default public share.
As we pointed out around Facebook's tenth anniversary, the ambiguity of sharing to a nebulous "public" tends to pressure people out of sharing. This phenomenon has led to the rise in messaging apps like WhatsApp and Snapchat, where users can share with a small, controlled group of friends, as well as anonymous sharing apps like Secret and Whisper. Turning down the level of sharing could theoretically encourage users to share more and make what they share more relevant to their audience.
Facebook acknowledged that mistaken sharing to too wide of an audience was also a factor. "We recognize that it is much worse for someone to accidentally share with everyone when they actually meant to share just with friends, compared with the reverse," Facebook stated in its blog post. The setting will be presented to users in a pop-up menu and will still offer the option of sharing publicly by default.

U.S. factories expanded in August at the fastest pace since June 2011. The ISM report signals that manufacturing output could strengthen in coming months. The Institute for Supply Management says its manufacturing index rose to 55.7 in August from 55.4 in July. That topped the index's 12-month average of 52. A reading above 50 indicates growth. The ISM is a trade group of purchasing managers.
A gauge of new orders rose nearly five points to 63.2, the highest level in more than two years. Production increased but more slowly than in the previous month. Factories also added more jobs, though also at a weaker rate than in July.

This week is a little tough for me to get my weekly dose of research in. I had to take a flight to Montreal today for business. However, I was able to take the Machias vital records with me on the flight in the form of a PDF. Picton Press is a publisher based in Rockland, Maine and they have been copying vital records and putting them on CD. I have a bunch of vital records from Maine on my bookshelf, that I have bought from them. You can find them on the web at www.pictionpress.com.
The original vital records are really hard to read. Many of the entries cannot be deciphered because the text is faded or just illegible. There are 369 pages in the PDF for the Town of Machias. I didn't make it too far into the PDF today. However, I did find the marriage of Benjamin Foss to his second wife. The text on page 25 is fairly clear. It states the following:
- Date: 28 Sept 1800
- Names: Benjamin Foss & Hannah Miller
- Place of Abode: Machias
- By whom married: Stephen Jones Esq

Heat Transfer in High-Voltage Surge Arresters
We present examples of the use of COMSOL Multiphysics for the solution of electrical conduction in varistors coupled to the solution of long-term heat-transport through conduction and convection. We fit measured power-loss and impedance data with analytic functions in order to simulate instant electric and transient thermal processes in one go.
We systematically compare our results to data from specially performed experiments. Despite the nonlinearity of the conducting medium we can find a good agreement in the observed field distribution and the measured Joule heating. We also investigate the critical parameters leading to possible thermal runaway scenarios. The good agreement between simulations and measurements make design optimizations based on computations a valid option for the further development of high-voltage surge-arresters.

In the late summer of 2014, momentum for municipal earned sick days began to build in New Jersey. In the fall of 2014, six municipalities passed an earned sick days law; including, Paterson, Passaic, East Orange, Irvington, Trenton and Montclair! Way to go New Jeersey! Let's keep this momentum building!
Over a thousand advocates, workers, and business owners took part in the White House Summit on Working Families on June 23, 2014. New Jersey had a team of 4 advocates, 4 workers, and 3 small business owners in attendance! Our very own Ellen Bravo, Director of Family Values @ Work, spoke after President Obama (other speakers were the Vice President, Dr. Jill Biden, President Obama, and First Lady Michelle Obama and many more). Check out more photos on Facebook and watch a video recording of the event!
Newark is the 7th city in the United States to pass an earned sick day ordinance! The Newark ordinance allows private-sector workers to earn 1 hour of sick time for every 30 hours worked. Those that work in businesses with 10 or more employees can earn 5 paid sick days per year; workers in businesses with nine or fewer employees earn 3 paid sick days per year. In addition, workers directly in contact with the public are eligible to earn 5 sick days regardless of company size, and the days can be used to care for themselves or family members. The law's definition of family is expansive, and includes parents, grandparents, and siblings.
The May 28, 2014 celebration was hosted by Art Kitchen on Halsey Street, the owner, Justyna Stachowicz, is a member of the Main Street Alliance and supportive of the earned sick days ordinance. The event included a press conference that highlighted local workers, a Dr. from University Hospital, Mayor Luis Quintana, Mayor Elect Ras Baraka, Councilman Anibal Ramos, Councilwoman Mildred Crump, Councilman Darrin Sharif, Analilia Mejia (Executive Director, New Jersey Working Families) and Okenfe Lebarty (Organizer, New Jersey Citizen Action). Other attendees included Susan Schear, owner of ARTISIN and Mikali Harris, owner of Sweet Retreat in Newark, both members of the Main Street Alliance.
Happy Mother's Day 2014!
On May 12, 2014, the regional White House Summit on Working Families was held in New York City to discuss how to better workplace practices in the 21st Century for all Americans. The Summit featured Valerie Jarrett Chair, White House Council on Women and Girls and Thomas E. Perez, U.S. Secretary of Labor.
On April 8, 2014, the statewide earned sick days campaign launched at the New Jersey State House in Trenton. Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg and Assembly Woman Pamela Lampitt announced their sponsorship of identical bills in both house of the legislature that would allow workers to earn one hour of paid sick time for every 30 worked. The state earned sick day bill, if passed, would be the strongest in the nation. The bill would cover all workers and give them the ability to not only stay home to care for themselves when sick, but for family members. Unlike the Connecticut law, the New Jersey bill covers all workers regardless of the size of the business or the industry sector in which it falls. NJ Time to Care Coalition members from various organizations, including a worker that would be impacted by passage of the state bill, spoke passionately about all the reasons why earned sick days is needed and should be a basic right.
On March 24, 2014, the Assembly Labor Committee approved bill A-857 to revise the allowable tip credit to so the tipped wage would reach 40% of the minimum hourly wage in 2014 and 69% in 2015 which would raise the minimum hourly wage for tipped workers from $2.13 an hour to an estimated $3.39 by the end of 2014 and $5.93 by 2015. Testimonies were delivered by members of the NJ Time to Care Coalition; Restaurant Opportunities Center, NJ Citizen Action, and Center for Women and Work, as well as Anastasia Braucht, a bartender from the Jersey Shore who described her experience living off of tips and argued that raising the tipped minimum wage would bring more economic security to her industry.
On January 30, 2014, the day following a national Tele-Town Hall that brought together thousands of callers across the country to discuss an agenda to advance women and families, a more intimate, in-person gathering took place in the State House in Trenton. We gathered to celebrate the work that's already been done in New Jersey and call for expanding it nationally.
Germie the Germ visited Newark on December 18. 2013 and helped convince Newark City Council to stop germs from being spread by strengthening the City's proposed Earned Sick Days bill! Thanks to bill sponsor Anibal Ramos, Council President Mildred Crump, Councilman John Sharpe James, and Councilman Ras Baraka for attending. And of course thanks to all of the amazing communities members and advocates!
Jersey City Mayor, Steve Fulop, signed the Earned Sick Days Legislation into law on the morning of October 21, 2013. The signing took place at Helen's Pizza, a business that strongly supports the ordinance. The Earned Sick Days Legislation will go into effect on January 24, 2014.
Coalition Partners make it possible! AARP, AFSCME Admin. Council 1 & Women's Committee, AFT New Jersey, CIR-SEIU, CWA Local 1036, CWA NJ, HPAE, IFPTE Local 194, Main Street Alliance, New Jersey Citizen Action, New Jersey Policy Perspective, New Jersey Working Families Alliance, New Labor, Next Step, NJ NAACP, NJ NOW, NJ Work Environment Council, SEIU 32BJ, SEIU NJ State Council, Statewide Parent Advocacy Network, and URA-AFT Local 1766! Now, on to Newark!
On August 8, 2013, dozens of Women leaders from across New Jersey came together at the statehouse in Trenton to urge the state to join a growing national movement and ensure all workers in the state have access to earned sick days. The need for earned paid sick days is especially acute for low-wage workers, the majority of whom are women, who frequently lack benefits afforded higher income workers. Nationally, nearly 4 in 10 working women do not have access to paid sick days, and women-dominated industries are the least likely to have paid sick leave. New Jersey women leaders want the Garden State to join in the growing momentum across the U.S. to provide earned sick days for workers -- a number of states and cities, most recently our neighbors in New York City, have already adopted earned sick days policy for their workers. Over 150 New Jersey women leaders have added their names to a statement (bitly.com/womensupportearnedsickdays) calling for implementation of an earned sick day policy in New Jersey. Speakers at the event were: • Phyllis Salowe-Kaye, Executive Director, New Jersey Citizen Action • Lizette Delgado Polanco – Executive Director, SEIU New Jersey State Council • Deborah Jacobs – Vice President, Advocacy & Policy, Ms. Foundation for Women • Kerry Butch – Executive Director, League of Women Voters of New Jersey • Marilyn Askin – Chief Legislative Advocate, AARP-NJ • Loretta Winters – Chair, WIN New Jersey (Women in the NAACP Committee) • Jennifer Armiger – President, National Organization for Women (NOW) NJ • Myra Terry – Long-time feminist activist • Honorable Sheila Y. Oliver, Speaker, NJ State Assembly
On June 20, 2013 over 200 individuals joined together in Trenton for New Jersey Women's Lobby Day. Participants reached out to their legislators to gain their support for earned sick days and other issues that impact women and families. Participants shared stories of balancing work obligations and family responsibilities and asked their elected representatives to cosponsor earned sick days legislation.
Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver and Yarrow Willman-Cole
Yarrow Willman-Cole, NJ Citizen Action Jason Redd, Chief of Staff, Senate Majority Leader Deputy Speaker John Wisniewski, NJ State Assembly
The New Jersey Time to Care Coalition recently attended the National Summit on Paid Sick Days and Paid Family Leave in Washington D.C. They joined together with over 200 advocates from around the country to discuss strategies in the fight to advance family-friendly policies such as paid sick days and family leave insurance. Participants had a day of training with choices ranging from campaign planning to social media planning. On the Day of Action, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was honored for her leadership in fighting for working women and men across the country. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) also spoke as chairman of the Senate HELP Committee and lead senate sponsor of the Healthy Families Act. The Coalition members then went to speak with their representatives about federal legislation for paid sick days.

The Clothes on Their Backs
By Linda Grant
Completed November 12, 2012
The Clothes on Their Backs is the Orange- and Booker-nominated book by Linda Grant – and it's certainly worthy of its accolades. Set in London during the 1970's, it's an enthralling look at family relationships, war and growing up in the shadow of family secrets.
Vivien Kovacs is the daughter of her reclusive, refugee parents, who emigrated from Hungary to London during World War II. Vivien's parents shielded her from life's experiences, including a complete avoidance of Vivien's uncle Sandor, who also lived in England after the war. Once Vivien graduated from college, she became more and more curious about her mysterious uncle, who had served time in prison for being a "slum lord." She finally got an opportunity to meet him and forged a relationship with her uncle, despite her father's wishes.
I can't say Vivien was the most likable character, but she was very believable. She was flawed and human, like her uncle. I was most intrigued, though, by Vivien's mother, Berta. She was a minor character in the book, but Grant left enough of a breadcrumb trail to make you wonder more about her. I think there was more there than met the eye.
The Clothes on Their Backs is a superb telling of the World War II refugee experience and the circumstances of family secrets. Most skeletons find their way out of the closet, and Vivien's family was no exception. Grant had me at Word One, and I devoured this novel, eager to learn more about Vivien and her family. I was slightly dissatisfied with the ending, especially the death of Uncle Sandor, but this is a small quibble. All in all, The Clothes on Their Backs was a readable and fascinating story about family relationships. ( )

Easton Vice XLT 27.5" Wheels
Now that 27.5-inch frames are up to speed, Easton's Vice XLT Wheels are providing the UST rolling stock that riders have come to expect from this quality and speed-focused manufacturer. What you'll find here is the same Sapim straight-pull spokes, alloy rim, and X4 hubs that make Easton wheels a popular upgrade over stock units, only now for the 27.5-inch lot.
To start with, the stiff, UST-compatible EA90 aluminum rim measures 26mm externally and 21mm internally. This provides plenty of width for excellent volume on 2.1-inch and larger tires. Tying the rim to the hub, Easton uses traditional alloy nipples and, as stated before, straight-pull Sapim spokes.
By opting for straight-pull over J-bend spokes, Easton increases the overall wheel strength while also reducing weight. There are 24 spokes for both front and rear wheels that are laced in a three-cross pattern for strength. Meanwhile, the hub has been updated with wider spaced cartridge bearings that better distribute loads. This, and the use of easy-to-maintain cartridge bearings, ensures durability for miles and miles of dirt riding. The freehub mechanism has very little resistance and engages quickly for technical trails and race-day ride quality.
The front and rear wheels ship with 15x100QR and 12x142mm spacers — adapters for other standards are available separately. The wheels are six-bolt rotor compatible and ship with valve stems.

Dear Lena.
I said in my postal to Em that this would be an easy day on account of it being Sunday. Well I was wrong. I had to get a detail of ten men an dig a sink and it was some job (for the men.) It started to rain about half past three and we had to run for our tents. I wish you could see and hear the thunder and lightning here. There is a steady shower of lightning towards the earth all the time. You would think there is a battle going on when it thunders. It looks as though we are in for a night of it. But we are not on out post or gaurd duty so I should worry.
The last time we went out on out post, (Thursday) it rained like every thing until 12 mid night. I pity the poor fellows that start out to night. They say there was a wash out up in Arizona somewhere and they fear it is going to hold up our mail. That is probably why I haven't received any today. I have some times read and heard of the rainy season in the west and south west, and now I know that it was never exagerated. There is a steady roar of thunder now, and a streak of lightning can be seen for at least ten seconds before it dissapears.
I hope this postal gets to you in condition to read and if not let me know and I will not write any more like this. The fellows wonder how in the world I do it. I am feeling fine looking fine, and acting fine so what more could be expected of me. How is the gas stove.
A slice of bread.
Dear Em.
Please excuse the pen and ink but I guess you will over look it. I sent Mary a letter today and by the way that was a good one she pulled in putting that one cent stamp on your last letter. As I told her, I never would have noticed it if she didn't speak of it in her letter. I guess the Government is making all kinds of allowances for us in that line.
Any story about our going home is spread about the camp in very short time. Our Captain told us at Retreat tonight that we would be here until Oct. 1, anyway. We will start long hard marches soon, after which there will be a big war game. If they would only tell us when we are to move we could settle down and make the best of it but, Well – nuf ced.
I am feeling fine. That is about 90% of the battle A young fellow next to me last night had a very bad night with his stumack. Most of the fellows are troubled with this. LIFE IN THE ARMY, IS LIKE SUNDAY ON THE FARM. I Wonder How The Table Looks At Home. OH You Worlds Series, I WISH I could see it. Haircut.

Synopsis: Ground control has been receiving mysterious transmissions from the three remaining residents of the Solaris space station. When cosmonaut and psychologist Kris Kelvin is dispatched to investigate, he experiences the same strange phenomena that afflict the Solaris crew, sending him on a voyage into the darkest recesses of his consciousness. With Solaris, the legendary Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky created a brilliantly original science-fiction epic that challenges our conceptions about love, truth, and humanity itself.
Reviews: Roger Ebert | Rotten Tomatoes | IMDb (external reviews)
"Solaris" isn't a fast-moving action picture; it's a thoughtful, deep, sensitive movie that uses the freedom of, science-fiction to examine human nature. It starts slow, but once you get involved, it grows on you. -- Roger Ebert
Andrei Tarkovsky belongs to that handful of filmmakers (Dreyer, Bresson, Vigo, Tati) who, with a small, concentrated body of work, created a universe. -- Phillip Lopate

Pirates Preview : Pre Opening Day Workout April 4
The Pirates sent out an email inviting their season ticket holders to come out and watch as the Pirates and Phillies take batting practice and run through drills the day before the Home Opener, April 4th.
Admission will be free. There is no actual game, the game will be the next day. Kudos to the Pirates for doing this. I know that the Reds also open up their gates the day before the opener for their fans, and always thought it was a great idea.
Anyhow, the gates open at 2:30, which poses a problem to me, since I am still working at that time. I should be able to make it down to PNC Park in time to catch part of the Pirates batting practice and all of the Phillies BP. Therein lies a potential problem for me. Should I could the balls I get at the workout in my official stats or not?
Here's why I shouldn't:
1) There isn't an actual game
Here's why I should:
1) Almost all ballhawks count the balls they snag at the Home Run Derby in their collection. That isn't a game. If I remember correctly it's All Star 'work out' and Home Run derby. I don't see much of a difference between this and that.
2) The balls are hit by major league players
3) The balls are snagged at a major league park, hit by MLB players
4) Other fans will be in attendance, creating competition
5) Spring Training is over, so these wouldn't be considered spring training balls
6) I've seen other ballhawks count less than credible balls such as ball found on tours when no game was taking place, balls that were purchased or won in a team store raffle, balls that were found by another person and held until the ballhawk could claim it, etc etc. Some ballhawks even count spring training balls in their stats. I've been to spring training. I once snagged about 10 balls and I was literally the only person standing there.
I don't see why I shouldn't count these balls in my collection, so I think I'm going to.
What do you think? Should I? Should I definitely not?
Also, I'm doing a contest tonight. I'm so pumped for the season that I may just do a giveaway every single day leading up to Opening Day. So check back soon. Tonight, the first correct answer wins!
There's only 9 more days until Opening Day, and you have until Sunday to win this Andrew McCutchen shirt.
In case you're wondering, here's the forecast for Opening Day, April 5:
Not good – 60% chance of showers. What else is new in Pittsburgh?

I will always extol the awesomeness of my son. I find him charming, funny and squeezable. Which is quite funny considering that for a big part of the early years of life I did not want kids. But him, him I adore with all my might. And he knows it too. But I am fine with him being completely secure in my love for him. When I found out that I was having a baby, I did not want to know the gender. It would be what it would be. My sister who was pregnant at the same time that I was, most definitely wanted to know the gender. And while she had initially thought that she wanted a boy, she was ecstatic when she found out she was having a girl. Why? Because she wanted a "mini-me." I have found many of friends and acquantances to have desired a child that was their replica. I suppose that is meant to secure one's legacy going forward.
I can imagine that had I had a girl, I would have dressed her up in purple and gotten her fierce shoes to wear. Maybe too many I probably would have gone bankrupt had I had a girl. While I didn't want to know the gender beforehand, I did hope for a boy. And, luckily, that is what I got.
Now, just because he is a boy doesn't mean that he cannot be a "mini-me." He does have my face. And it is quite an awesome feeling to look at him and see me in him. We most definitely have some key things in common. We both love ketchup, cracking ourselves up and sleeping diagonally. But he is also most definitely not a mini-me. As he likes to remind me. He is, of course, his own little person. And he is also a tad bit different from me.
I am an extroverted introvert. He is an extrovert. He has no fear of immediately leading a crowd and team. I love to try all sorts of different foods and he is quite set on what his favorites are. I love soda and he hates it. Which is good for his health. So kudos to him. I like the Flash. He prefers Thor. He is my compliment. And that is such a wonderful feeling.

Another very smart post by Greg Bedard here.
Nothing is more irksome than living room know-it-alls who obsess about the NFL (or their teams) offering their unqualified observations to fill the dead time between games. Wait…
Seriously, Bedard is exactly right. The whole thing is a non-issue. The only thing that makes it remotely interesting is the suggestion that the Packers may have injured the NFL rushing leader and sure-thing Rookie of the Year as a result of a "bounty" on him. It's nonsense, of course, but precisely the kind of thing that gives eats up the airtime the talking heads programs are so desperate to fill. How many times can they show Tom Brady throwing four touchdowns to Randy Moss? It's just not a dynamic story. Much better for the professional gabbers to weigh in on things for which information is scarce and speculation drives the story. In this case, the PFT guys wrote: "To the extent that limiting a player's production can be satisfied in part by, for example, tearing the player's LCL, it's probably not a good idea for incentives of this nature to be dangled in front of NFL players." But as Greg Bedard pointed out: Al Harris made the tackle responsible for knocking Peterson out of the game, a hit that would have resulted in him PAYING off the bet, not collecting on it. So even if the incentive were financial — preposterous given that Harris, who makes $5,232,000, would have collected $500 — their "reasoning" doesn't work.
Although profootballtalk.com hinted that an update was coming, they have not yet amended or expanded their 11:55 AM post in which they suggest that the existence of friendly wagers between Packers may have been responsible for Adrian Peterson's injury. As someone might say, stay tuned.
UPDATE: No matter how wrong the guys at Cheesehead.tv are about yesterday's game — were they smoking crack with my brother? — they're exactly right on this. Nice, to have you guys back.
UPDATE II: Here is the ESPN story on all of this. They broke the story yesterday AM.
UPDATE III: Thompson speaks.

peter pan collar shirt, pink polka dot sweater, and tights all c/o TJ Maxx gift card.
I didn't have a car for most of college, but I lived within walking distance of a shopping center with a TJ Maxx. I spent many a day wandering through the aisles and looking for bargains to take home, after a study session at the local Panera. Peppered with late nights and local shows, this pretty much sums up my antisocial college life outside of actual school. If you followed me back in the livejournal days, you might remember just how much of my clothing came from either TJ Maxx or a thrift store. I couldn't afford to shop much, but I still wanted to dress well. Both of those stores are great options, if you're on a budget. Case in point: I spent under $30 on this sweater, top, and tights - combined!
I'm still in Nashville, which means I've had time to spend with my cousins! My cousin Claudia
Thank you, TJ Maxx, for sponsoring this weekend of Fall fashion - and thank you to my friends and family for showing us what they're currently wearing! My weekend with TJ Maxx is over, but you can find more style inspiration on their pinterest.

Bobby Valentine to lead Sacred Heart athletics
Valentine fired after one season with Red Sox
Former Boston Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine has been hired as the athletics director at Sacred Heart University.
The university in Fairfield, Conn. said Friday that Valentine's appointment will be formally announced next Tuesday.
Valentine was fired in October after just one season in Boston, when the Red Sox went 69-93.
See a slideshow of Valentine's time in Boston
He managed the Texas Rangers from 1985-92 and the Mets from 1996-02, leading New York to the 2000 World Series. After managing in Japan, he joined ESPN as an analyst. Last month he signed on to be the part-time co-host of a weekday talk show for NBC Sports Radio that debuts in April.
Valentine is a native of Stamford, Conn. who worked as the director of public safety for the city before taking the job with the Red Sox.
Sacred Heart fields 31 varsity teams — 17 for women and 14 for men. The Pioneers upgraded their varsity programs to NCAA Division I status in September 1999. They are a member of the Northeast Conference. The school's baseball team, in fact, has made consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament.
A year ago at this time, Valentine was in Fort Myers, Fla., prepping the Red Sox for what they thought was a turnaround season. Valentine had taken over for Terry Francona, Ben Cherington had taken over for former general manager Theo Epstein, and the new-look Red Sox were off and running.
It never panned out. The chemistry never clicked, the Red Sox struggled through long stretches of the season, suffered a crop of injuries and finished in last place in the American League East.
The team is once again in Fort Myers, at JetBlue Park, this month. And with new manager John Farrell leading the ship now, it is clear that the Red Sox have moved past the short-lived Valentine era.
When asked his thoughts about Sacred Heart's decision to hire his former manager, designated hitter David Ortiz was short and sweet on Friday.
"Good," he said. "Good for him."

ATT, Aqua Treatment Technology Inc., Quezon City, Philippines, is the region's leading manufacturer of water purification systems. These systems are supplied to local water bottle filling stations spread out on the nation's hundreds of inhabited islands, often in fairly remote locations where spare parts and quick service is not always readily available.
ATT recently decided to switch to the compact Grundfos MQ all-in-one pump/pressure booster unit for their water purification/filling stations with considerable success.
The situation
ATT, Aqua Treatment Technology Inc. manufactures all-in-one water purification plants and filling stations that are being sold to commercial water bottling companies across the Philippines. With 800 employees and an annual turnover in excess of 6 million USD, the company is the leading manufacturer in this field in the region.
Up until recently ATT was using a compiled system with separate pumps, pressure tanks, diaphragm tanks and pressure switches. However, problems with mal-functioning pressure switches and failing diaphragm tanks were frequent. Heavy corrosion of the diaphragm tanks was also a common problem. This was clearly an unsatisfactory situation, and ATT, therefore, searched the market for a simpler yet more efficient solution to their needs.
The Grundfos solution
The Grundfos MQ is a self-priming, compact pump and pressure boosting unit, designed for domestic water supply and small industrial applications where a compact and reliable, low-noise, easy-to-install pump is required.
The MQ is capable of self-priming from a well depth of down to 8 m. It is ideal for pressure boosting from a water tank or from a water mains. The Grundfos MQ pump is built for trouble-free operation, and constructed of corrosion resistant materials, and it was, therefore, the ideal choice on all counts for ATT's requirements.
The outcome
The Grundfos MQ has very much simplified the design of the ATT purification and water filling stations. A pressure tank is no longer required, nor is the unstable fault-ridden pressure switch. Two MQ pumps are being installed on each plant, one pump serves the RO purification unit and one provides the operation pressure for the filling section.
Currently a total of 140 ATT plants have been equipped with the Grundfos MQ pumps and with the rate of success that these plants are enjoying, many more are to come in the future.
Simplified pipe layout - Compact design - Reduced installation costs - Reduced after sales service
Quezon City, Philippines
ATT, Aqua Treatment Technology Inc.
Grundfos provided
- Simplified pipe layout
- Compact design
- Reduced installation costs
- Reduced after sales service
Pumps used
- One Grundfos MQ 3-35 and one MQ 3-45 for each plant.
Mr. Sam Tovera, Vice President Operation ATT, Aqua Treatment Technology Inc.
"Our plants have become much more compact compared to the previous design. The pipework has become much simpler and a separate pressure tank is no longer needed, nor is the complicated cabling associated with the separate pressure switch and control panel. Another advantage of the new design and the MQ pumps is that we have been able to maintain competitive prices even when compared to makes that use cheap Italian pumps. In addition, the MQ pumps operate very quietly, and the discharge pressure rises during continuous operation, which is needed in the process. This was an impossibility with the pump brand that we used to install."

Finn Juhl
Sorry for being M.I.A. for the last few days. I was in Michigan for a meeting and didn't get back home until last night at 1 am. It feels so so good to be home. I missed Israel like crazy! Also, I'm a nervous passenger. I don't hyperventilate or anything like that but I do find myself having anxiety while I imagine all of the possible catastrophes that could happen when flying. The last 20 minutes of my flight into Boise were full of turbulence and air pockets so I was white knuckled until we landed.
So glad to be home.
I'll explain a bit more about the trip and post a few photos as well. Maybe tomorrow. We'll see.
Finn Juhl's house tour, too tired to tell you that I like it, mid century goodness.

Fighting White Rage, Splitting with Anarchism?
north america / mexico | migration / racism | other libertarian press Wednesday June 11, 2008 07:27 by anoymous (posted by illvox.org)
Many of us quietly as well as openly wonder why we remain supportive of an anarchist movement that seems so deeply opposed to people of color and invested in defending white power and privilege among its adherents.
Illvox.org Preface Notes: The piece below, published here under a pseudonym by permission of the author, raises an important dialog as more anarchists of color seek solutions for critical questions.
What advantage is there in calling ourselves anarchists?
Not so long ago, Six Reasons Why People of Color Need Anarchism was posted to illvox.org, advocating anarchism as a viable option. This view gives a different perspective on anarchisms impact on revolutionary, people of color-led tendencies.
To be frank, such discussions as the piece below puts forward have been happening internally among anarchists of color for some time. Many of us quietly as well as openly wonder why we remain supportive of an anarchist movement that seems so deeply opposed to people of color and invested in defending white power and privilege among its adherents. Another recently posted piece, An Open Letter to White Progressives/Radicals, called out a number of white supremacist habits and was, as the piece predicted, furiously refuted by whites. While there are no doubt some white anarchists who get it, many anarchists of color are happy to tell you that its not our job to teach the far larger number of reactionary white anarchists about racial justice and why global white supremacy matters.
This piece is brief by authors admission, as a means of starting a conversation.
10 Reasons for APOC as Autonomous People of Color as Opposed to Anything Else
By Negro Mankno
10. Both the Marxist and anarchist tendencies in the U.S. consistently exhibit white supremacist chauvinism, organizational cultism, leadership cultism, and historical revisionism; especially as it relates to workers of color.
9. Workers of color are the MAJORITY in the world. Here in AmeriKKKa we still think and act as a minority. This is one of the reasons we get what we get: crumbs and/or crucified.
8. Only we can save ourselves. If others decide to add-on and assist, thats great. But to expect their help is bourgeois ideology. Affirmative action is NOT the same as reparations. Only our brains (and our bullets) can grant us and guarantee us our collective freedom.
7. We still spend entirely too much time spinning our wheels dealing with white anarchists and white progressives, rather than reaching out to our brothers and sisters who look like us and live like us.
6. All knowledge can trace its roots to the various cultures we originate from. The first strike for better wages and working conditions in recorded history occurred in 1170 BC in Egypt. Marxism and Bakuninist anarchism comes out of Freemasonry, which was the product of the Egyptian Mystery System. Both Marx and Bakunin were 32nd degree Masons, as was Lenins father and Maos #2, Lin Bao.
5. J. Sakais Settlers: Mythology of the White Proletariat outlines clearly the truth of the workers movement. Few of us have read or digested these lessons. The real proletariat is non-white and the real proletariat is not the radicalized intelligentsia. The natural result of allowing a radicalized intelligentsia to seize state power is Stalinism, dictatorship of the party over the people. And all of us can bear witness to this dynamic in our activism; even amongst so-called anarchists and anti-authoritarians.
4. Autonomy shows our solidarity with the international working class, and our break with classic anarchism and Marxism, even as we may share some common ideas, concepts, and goals with both; like anti-KKKapitalism. True self-determination begins with answering the question: do I have ideas or do ideas have me?
3. Autonomy demands and demonstrates a new orientation and socio/political platform for active class struggle from a non-white perspective.
2. The main reason we see clashes between communities of color, like Mexicans versus Blacks for example, is due to the interference of outside reactionary forces working in concert with reactionary forces within our communities. The reactionaries within our communities (regardless of actual economic status) who enable the larger power structure to do what it does must be singled out, neutralized, and/or ruthlessly destroyed; otherwise the revolution will never see the light of day. We must have the total support of the majority of our respective peoples or we will fail. This is what we need to focus on.
1. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. So why do we seek to imitate those who routinely oppress us?

It is sad that this article appears on anarkismo.net and even on the APOC site.
