UT to give back to community through Big Event Aug. 28August 25th, 2016 by Christine Billau
Hundreds of students along with faculty and staff from The University of Toledo will lend a hand to do some good throughout the city Sunday, Aug. 28.
The volunteers will spread out across the community and spend the day raking, pulling weeds, painting, picking up garbage, washing windows and more at parks, residential homes, businesses and UT's campuses.
The annual Big Event is the largest single-day community service event completed by UT students in the Toledo area.
"The Big Event is a great way to give back to Toledoans and businesses who do so much to support us throughout the year," Joseph Leech, UT engineering student and director of this year's event, said. "As we start our fall semester, we are enthusiastic to do something special and show we intend to make positive contributions to the city."
This year's Big Event will feature a new kick-off called Paint Your Pride.
Students will meet at 10 a.m. at the Student Recreation Center on Main Campus and use stencils to paint the Rocket insignia across campus.
"We are creating a new tradition," Dr. Phillip "Flapp" Cockrell, associate vice president for student affairs and dean of students, said.
Several of the Big Event project locations across the city include:
- Bancroft Hills, the neighborhood just east of UT Main Campus between Bancroft Street and Dorr Street and between St. Francis de Sales High School and Westwood Avenue, from noon to 2 p.m.
- Wildwood Metropark from noon to 2 p.m.
- UT Main Campus along the Ottawa River from noon to 2 p.m.
The next Big Event is scheduled for March 25, 2017, when students will again give back to UT's neighbors.
"We will also be doing several Service Saturdays throughout school year," Leech said.

Goodbye Microsoft Tag, we hardly knew you (and that was the problem)
Microsoft(s msft) is ending its Tag program on August 19, 2015, terminating a half-dozen year run at offering an alternative to traditional barcodes. The company announced the news on Monday and said that the Tag technology will be licensed to Scanbuy starting no later than September 18 of this year.
Why didn't Tag catch on? Part of the answer to that question is actually another question: Do you know what Microsoft Tag is? Chances are, probably not. Here's one I created online using Microsoft's Tag creation tool:
Tag was developed in 2007 and looks different from the traditional barcodes and QR codes that are more commonly seen these days. Tags could be monochrome but are often multi-colored because colors can help pack more data into the Tag. Microsoft says the colors, combined with triangles of different sizes and layouts, can yield up to 3,500 characters per square inch.
In addition to providing far more data than standard barcodes, companies that use Tag can gather information about the devices and people that scan Tags. In order for Tag to work, a mobile device reads the colored Tag using an app that then connects to Microsoft servers to translate the information into a web link or other item. Microsoft can then provide detailed analytics from the Tag.
That's great for businesses, but consumers still tend to be wary about information gathering techniques. Ultimately, however, Tag never seemed to catch on because it's simply not as recognizable as the barcodes that consumers have seen for decades. Perhaps Scanbuy will have more luck with Tag.

Ah, date night. the best night of the week! And while I don't need anything expensive, I do need a little bit of effort. I love to be wined and dined at a bougie restaurant every now and then, but when it comes right down to it, it's not realistic to expect pricy date nights multiple times a week when you're in a long-term relationship. You've both gotta budget, after all! That's why having an abundance of free date ideas in your back pocket is such a great idea.
In addition to being exciting, fun and (at times) a little nerve-wracking, dating is expensive. That said, there are tons of ways to ensure you and your partner have a memorable night without dropping so much as a dime. Stay in and have a movie marathon, read each other's tarot cards or go head-to-head in a karaoke battle.
Or, get out and volunteer together, test-drive your dream car or play house and tour fancy open houses. You might be surprised how much fun you two can have together when you aren't stressing about who's going to grab the bill at the end of the night.
Be it as simple as a stroll through a new neighborhood or as exciting as a free brewery tour or movie night in the park, you don't need to spend a ton of coin for some quality time with your partner, and this list is proof. Below, find 31(!) of our tried-and-true free dates guaranteed to bring you and your partner closer.
1. Take a Hike
Throw on your sneakers, head to the nearest trail and go on a hiking date. If you and your boo happen to be morning people, make it a sunrise hike—you'll get some killer Instagram shots.
2. Find a Free Concert
No matter where you live, you can usually find a free concert or two, even if it's not an artist from Spotify's Best New Music playlist. Plan a date around it and see if you two can't find a new tune to be your song.
3. Eat Samples at a Food Market
Feeling hungry but don't want to splurge on a restaurant date? Head over to a local food market or food festival with your date and snack on some delicious samples. Low-key, Costco works, too.
4. Read One Another's Tarot Cards
Even tarot newbies will enjoy a date spent deep-diving into how to read tarot or oracle cards. You might be surprised what you two learn about one another in the process!
5. Explore a New Neighborhood
Be a tourist in your own city! Take the subway or bus, get off at a random stop you're unfamiliar with and explore. It'll feel great to spend a day with no inhibitions and hey, the date practically plans itself!
6. Plan a Game Night
This is the perfect free group date activity. Split up into teams and let the dice (and the good times) roll. Might I suggest a virtual escape room or two?
7. Spend a Night at The Museum
Look online for times that local museums offer free admission (Pro tip: It's usually in the evening!) and roam around with your special someone, picking out your favorite pieces or exhibits.
8. Make it a Beach Day
Take a dip, make a sandcastle, play a game of beach volleyball or just chill out together while soaking up some sun. If you do spend money on anything, make it sunscreen or an afternoon popsicle.
9. Go Roller Skating
Strap on some roller skates and roll around town or to nearby park with your date. In the winter, swap out the roller skates and go ice skating at a local rink.
10. Have a Movie Marathon
Pop some popcorn, cuddle up together on the couch and start up a movie marathon, a.k.a. a Netflix & Chill sesh. Take turns watching picking what to watch or commit to one series to binge together.
11. Volunteer Together
Whether you want to play with the puppies at an animal shelter or help out at a soup kitchen, volunteering with your date is not only super fulfilling, but you'll make some awesome memories in the process.
12. Build a Slip 'N Slide
A summer must: Set up a Slip 'N Slide in your backyard. Not only is this silly date a sure-fire hit, but it's a refreshing way for the two of you to cool off in the summer heat.
13. Go to Expensive Open Houses
Toss on a cocktail dress or grab a tie, and become whoever you'd like to be for the day! Check local listings for open houses and take a look around the dream home that you and your date could never afford. Tip: Walk in like you own the place (just don't get carried away and try to actually own the place).
14. Go Camping in Your Backyard
Pitch a tent in the backyard for the night! Make a bonfire, roast a marshmallow (or two, or three) and end the evening with some stargazing—there's nothing more romantic than that.
15. Shoot Some Hoops
There's nothing better than letting your competitive side out every now and then, so head to the local basketball court and challenge that special someone to a one-on-one showdown. Just don't be a sore loser if they show you up!
16. Find a Movie Screening in the Park
This is the classic dinner and a movie date night with a (free) twist! Instead of heading out to a fancy restaurant, plan a picnic followed by a free movie screening in the park. It will be way more romantic than whispering in a stuffy theater, anyway.
17. Play a Messy Game of Twister
Take it to the backyard and play game of messy Twister. The same rules as regular Twister apply, but put coordinated paint colors on the Twister circles and let the games begin! Pro Tip: Wear something you don't mind getting covered in paint.
18. Download a Karaoke App
Whether you sound like Beyoncé or a struggling feline, karaoke is always a great way to loosen up and have some fun! A no-cost way to do it: Troll the app store for free apps you can download and sing along to, or search up karaoke tracks on YouTube and blast them through some speakers.
19. Host an At-Home Poker Night
Can you keep a poker face? Find out by playing a game of poker with your date, wagering with anything other than money.
20. Go on a Free Brewery Tour
Many brewery tours are free, so take advantage of this when planning your next date. If beer isn't your thing, many wineries offer free tours as well. Enjoy strolling through and decide from there if you two want to splurge on a bottle or pint. Or, stay home and be your own mixologist with some DIY drinks!
21. Test-Drive Your Dream Car
Rev up the car and the relationship by getting behind the wheel and test-driving your dream car with your date at a local dealership. Who knows, you might actually end up buying it—in which case, the date will definitely not be free, but it will be fun.
22. Go to Trivia Night
There's nothing more attractive than intelligence! Channel your inner nerd and impress your date at a local trivia night. Hopefully they'll impress you, too!
23. Play Truth Or Dare
Revisit the infamous childhood game of Truth or Dare by walking around town taking turns asking each other the age-old question. You'll learn tons about each other and have a total blast! Play the same game at home with a more scandalous twist, if you dare.
24. Share Embarrassing Photos
Headgear, frizzy hair and some freaky-looking sweaters? Check! Collect some old photos, be they funny baby pics or cringy high school grad pics, and trade them with your date. Not only will it provide some good laughs, but it will keep the conversation flowing and help you both see different sides of one another.
25. Play Old-School Video Games
Dust off the old controllers and turn on that Nintendo 64! Be Mario, Princess Peach or Toad for the night and have an old school face-off playing Mario Kart, Mario Party and all of the classics.
26. Have an Instagram Date
Does your boo love racking up likes on the 'Gram? Juice up your phones and head out in search of inspiration. You might find yourselves drawn to a park you never noticed before, or a part of the city where the graffiti is super-photogenic. Take tons of selfies so that you have your own Instagram trail of the date.
27. Go On a Scenic Landmark Crawl
Be a tourist in your own city, but only hit up landmarks that don't charge an entrance fee, like statues, museums or other places that you'd go if you were only in town for a day.
28. Go For a Swim
If it's summertime, hit up a public pool, lake or ocean and sunbathe and swim with your S.O.—don't forget the sunscreen!
29. Wander Through Art Galleries
Check out local and up-and-coming artists on display at galleries in your area. You're not there to shop, but you might discover your new favorite talent. If you go at the right time, some galleries will offer snacks or free drinks to people wandering in and out, so Google first to see if there's an especially good time to go.
30. Give Each Other Massages
Light some candles, break out the oil and give each other a nice long back-rub. You'll both get a chance to unwind while knowing that you're not on the clock and paying for every minute of enjoyment. Plus, who knows where it will lead, wink wink.
31. Go to an Author Reading
Bookstores and libraries regularly host author readings, and they're almost always free. It's a fun way spend an afternoon and stay on the pulse of the literary community. Plus, it'll give you something to talk about later.

Our team in Israel is looking for people with a passion to see new churches planted among the least-reached, churches that are making disciples who are in turn making other disciples. Experience in this area is valued, but not necessary to join. Training can be provided by those on the team with experience in this area. We are working among both Jewish and Arab communities, especially in the Galilee.
Everyone should have an opportunity to hear the gospel at least once. There is a generation growing up in Ireland which has not heard the gospel. They do not know who Jesus is or what He has done. One of the greatest needs in Ireland is more Bible-believing churches. We need evangelists, disciplers, church planters, youth and children's workers to partner with small churches and church plant endeavours. You will need a God given passion for the lost and desire to work in partnership with others.

With a conjunctivitis outbreak sweeping across the island since July, some Jamaicans have admitted to using some 'eye-popping' home remedies to treat the condition commonly known as 'pink eye'.
The most prominent among the methods reported is using urine to wash the infected eyes. However, ophthalmologist Dr Leon Vaughan warned that using urine and other home remedies is a dangerous practice.
"Urine, breast milk, bissy tea, they are all extremely harmful because in many cases it (urine) contains a lot of bacteria, and then introducing this into the eye, especially the children who haven't built up their immune system yet, you will end up with serious eye conditions, not the least of which is gonorrhoea. Chlamydia is another common one. They can be a contaminant in the urine," Vaughan told THE WEEKEND STAR.
Nonetheless, a 55-year-old man, who identified himself as Chess, said: "urine a the best one!" He said he learnt of the remedy years ago from older folks and he has been recommending it ever since.
Burning feeling
"One time me get pink eye and a it me use and it work fast too. [The urine] give a little burning feeling, but then it just clear up after two days and you eye just come back normal. The urine move the germs and everything, but if you have certain disease them say it can blind you," Chess said.
Paul Gayle, 56, who contracted pink eye twice, said he squirted his babymother's breast milk in his eyes then followed up with a salt water wash. He then used his urine to wash his eyes the second time around. He claimed both strategies worked effectively.
"The body takes care of itself, but these young people nowadays, as they sick they go to the doctor. But we older folks use the natural remedies and I think that's better. Most people don't have the money right now to go to the doctor," Gayle said.
Similarly, Carlton Brunette said he used a mixture of urine and droplets from a tree pod to wash his eyes when he became afflicted with the virus recently.
"Nuff people a gwaan like them nah try it, but them using it because them know it work. When you go to the doctor, the money what it a go cost you is very awful," he said.
Vaughan advised that persons should practise proper hygiene to avoid the virus, and, if contracted, one should consult a general practitioner for treatment.

Lichtlijn is a new traffic light technology being tested in Bodegraven,Netherlands. LED strips were installed on the ground that work with the existing traffic signals. This system was created by HIG Traffic Systems whom is running a trial on one intersection. They hope to use these lights in other towns if successful.
Whats the point of installing traffic lights on the ground? Only for the sheer purpose of people not looking up from their phones. HIG Traffic Systems made something just so people never have to look up from their phone at all. The whole idea is to keep people who are distracted by their device to be more aware of traffic.
Dutch Traffic Safety Association believe something like this rewards bad behavior. They said "We don't want people to use phones when they're dealing with traffic, even when walking around. People must always look around them, to check if cars are actually stopping at the red signals."
People are always looking at their phones. No matter where you go, people always have their heads down and eyes glued to their devices. HIG made traffic lights for the ground since everyone's focus is downward. While it's impressive to see upgrades to traffic safety but only because people can't stop looking at their phones is bizarre. The overall technology being presented would be easier to market towards child safety instead.

Harry Potter Days
We took the girls (who have no idea who Harry Potter is, by the way) to Chestnut Hill in Philadelphia to enjoy this special weekend event. It was "open to Muggles," but the streets were filled with little wizards in black robes and yellow/burgundy striped scarves.
The absolute highlight for me was meeting Boo, Hedwig's sister, outside Stagecrafter Theater.
The falconer lives in the Catskills, and apparently has several different birds, which she takes hunting around where she lives. What a different way of life that would be!

Rapper Kevin Abstract visits hometown of Corpus Christi to promote 'Arizona Baby' album
Rap artist Kevin Abstract made a stop in his hometown to meet with fans and to promote his latest album "Arizona Baby."
The Corpus Christi native, whose real name is Ian Simpson, greeted fans in front of his childhood home on Brockhampton Street on Friday.
The street on which he grew up eventually became the inspiration for the boy band he founded called Brockhampton.
The group is known for their hits like "1999 WILDFIRE," "SWEET," "Gold," and "Boogie."
The rap artist released a new hit Wednesday called "Peach" on YouTube. It has received more than 590,000 views.
Simpson told the Caller-Times the last time he was in his hometown was in 2014.
"It feels surreal to be back in Corpus," the rap artist said. "I am glad to meet with all my fans here ...I really appreciate the support."
Simpson is live-streaming himself walking on a treadmill in front of the house on Brockhampton for 10 hours straight.
What's up with the treadmill? Simpson said he chose to undertake the challenge for himself.
"It's all empathy for me," he said. "I started around 1 p.m. and I plan to do this until the 10 hours are up."
The band is promoting this live-stream event on Twitter for "Arizona Baby" album, which released on Thursday.
Fans are currently gathered around Abstract, asking questions, taking selfies and getting autographs.

Some people might think a freeroll tournament is a demo game where there is no real money at stake. They think they will only win fun money that is not convertible to Bitcoin or actual cash. However, the authentic freeroll tournaments listed below are offering actual money or an entry into a major tournament that has a large prize pool.
Americas Cardroom: Freerolls on Demand
Americas Cardroom freeroll tournaments are available at any time of the day and week. Freerolls on Demand does not have any schedule as to when they will begin. Instead, the free tournaments only start when 270 players register for it. There is a 'late registration' period of 30 minutes for every tournament to ensure more people can join.
For one week, players can accumulate points by joining the top 10 players of a tournament. The 10 players who can collect the most points will win a free entry to Americas Cardroom Sit & Crush tournament. The first placer will get a free shot at the Sunday tournament. The buy-in for this type of tournament is $215. Players will also find other Americas Cardroom poker promos online.
Betcoin.ag freeroll tournaments
Betcoin.ag follows the same freeroll tournament format as Americas Cardroom. More than 200 players play against one another to gather points throughout the duration of the tournament. The top 10 or five players who are able to get the most points win the prize pool. The prize is often fiat cash or Bitcoin. The highest placers will receive a majority of the prize.
Betcoin.ag also has special freeroll tournaments that require a password before a player can register for it. Players can find these passwords through Betcoin's newsletters or a third-party website. These special tournaments often have a higher prize pool than normal.
Bodog freerolls tournament
Bodog has a large variety of freerolls available. Its free-for-all tournament does not have any requirement for players to join. Bodog's other tournaments usually require players to gain points from betting with cash or by reaching a certain VIP level for their profile. Making a deposit might provide a player with a free entry to a promotional freeroll tournament. Bodog Poker's expansion to Latin America welcomes more players to experience its freerolls.
RedStar Daily, Monthly and Sunday Freeroll
To participate in any of Red Star's freerolls, players need to have a bank account. Players do not need to send in a deposit from the account. The freerolls from Red Star have a higher prize pool than other poker sites. Certain freerolls tournaments may require players to play in a paid poker game a number of times before they can register for them.

Wisconsin Dells is the "Waterpark Capitol of the World" with miles of entertainment on the several city strips. Sometimes just called "The Dells", it is a popular family vacation spot during any season because of the amazing amount of things to do and see.
Don't let the amusement parks keep you away from the real attraction of the Wisconsin Dells: The Wisconsin River bluffs and formations carved by the melting waters of an ancient lake against the colorful sandstone. In fact, that is how the Wisconsin Dells became famous when photographer HH Bennett shared his magnificent pictures of the soon-to-become resort town.
As expected, water spots are popular in Wisconsin Dells and neighboring Lake Delton. The Tommy Bartlett Show is an excellent example of the popularity of water sports in the area. There are multiple different shows to attend including those that do large group water skiing, extreme stunting water skiing, and jet propelled FlyBoards.
There are a total of six different waterparks around the Dells with each one offering multiple different slides and pools. Each of these waterparks offer all day fun for the whole family. Even if the weather doesn't cooperate, there are indoor waterparks that you can enjoy too. For those who enjoy everything big, check out Noah's Ark, which has been ranked as the #5 waterpark in the U.S. and #17 in the world.
The Dells offers something for everyone from extreme waterparks to amazing views. Check out one of the listings below and make the move to the Dells today!

AMD Catalyst 13.1 For Linux Officially Does X.Org 1.13
Catalyst 13.1 for Linux was released on Thursday as the first AMD Linux binary blob of 2013. This driver is notable since it officially supports X.Org Server 1.13.
X.Org Server 1.13 was released in early September but it took over three months for AMD to officially support the xorg-server release by Catalyst. This driver release happened on the same day as NVIDIA's 313.18 Linux driver, which already brought forth support for the unreleased X.Org Server 1.14.
Aside from official X.Org Server 1.13 support, the only other official new feature of AMD Catalyst 13.1 is "production support" for Ubuntu 12.10. But at least there's also a couple of resolved bugs, per the AMD release notes.
The Catalyst 13.1 driver release for Linux x86/x86_64 can be downloaded from AMD.com.

Message of the Month
August, 1999
With the current dramatic declines in some sectors of the stock market, and with headlines such as a day trader in Atlanta going on a shooting rampage, many are now paying attention to the topic of loss.
I know someone with a very small net worth who has recently lost about $3,000. I also have a friend who over the past two weeks, has lost about $30,000 in the stock market. I have recently been acquainted with a family who have lost about $300,000 since the beginning of the year, in their small business. And last weekend I met a gentleman who lost about $10 million in a much larger business that he owns. Finally, a few weeks back, when the shares of Microsoft dropped $11 over a two day period, Mr. Bill Gates, the richest man alive, lost about $10 billion in his net worth in that same time period.
All of this has made me think about the significance of loss and how each of these people would react. And I noted a very interesting pattern.
The very rich felt very little impact, even though the amounts were substantial, and at times the proportion of their lost wealth was also significant. It was as if to them, generating wealth was not a problem. They simply took a fatalistic approach, saying things like, "gain some, lose some" etc. To them, the money did not seem to be the issue. The game of life was more important. It was the process of wealth generation and not the accumulation that mattered.
The very poor also took a fatalistic approach, yet they came from a very different perspective. They would say things like, "when you have nothing to lose, what difference would a few more dollars make " or the less cynical ones would say, "no matter how poor I have been, I have always been taken care of, and I am still standing "
The group that felt the most impact was the middle group. To them, it was a lot of hard work that accumulated the riches, and to lose that was a hard blow. In a way, after investing so much time and sweat and blood, who would want to start over again?
It was this group that felt the impact emotionally, mentally and spiritually. And of course, in the longer term, would feel the same impact physically too, through their continued hard work.
At this point, I sat back and started thinking If the low numbers and the high numbers are fine to lose, why is it that the middle numbers are not? After all, they are just numbers
It was then that I realized that it is not the money that is important. We dont concern ourselves with the loss of money. What matters is the significance we attach to that money. In a way, for the wealthy, it is "easy come, easy go". And for the poor, it is, "you cant lose what aint got "
But the middle class associate their net worth with their self-worth and their security. They associate this money with investment of time and energy, and the sacrifice of joy. The trading off of what really matters, things like love and care, and being with friends and family, and at times even their health, with things that will bring confidence, assurance, security and comfort.
In a way, this has become the crucifixion of the not so poor and not so rich.
But what if we lost the things that really mattered in life? The things that were not just numbers? Things like loved ones, family, and friends? Things like the precious time that we have, or our health? Or things like what brings us joy in life and what gives us a sense of purpose? What if we lost any of those?

Matt and I have been busy and we rather blame Obama for this – keeping up with the ongoing disaster has been a trial, but we've been willing to do the work:
As Barack Obama's presidential failures keep adding up, remembering them all can be a challenge. Matt Margolis and Mark Noonan are compiling everything you need to know about the presidency of Barack Obama (so far) into one book. Soon, you can easily find all the information that was ignored by the media and that Barack Obama doesn't want you to know about.
Did Barack Obama really save this country from another Great Depression? Did he really improve our country's image around the world, or unite America? What about the new era of post-partisanship and government transparency? Did he really expand health coverage while lowering costs and cutting taxes?
The answer to all these questions—and the facts to back them up—are coming in a new book later this year.
Please go to our book website and sign up for e-mail updates. This will allow you to know precisely when the new edition is released to the public. If you purchased the original, rest assured that this is expanded with a great deal of new information. As bad as you think Obama has been, you don't know the whole story until you've read The Worst President in History: the Legacy of Barack Obama.

Lapti's out of Moscow and looks deceptively young up there, but his back-catalog is staggeringly developed: pitched-up Mims cloud surfing, actual iced-out drum crackle on "Motherland." Nocow's page is briefer, his repertoire darker, the Soundcloud comment bars sparser but just as excited. Together they've released a short one, promisingly labeled "part one." There are a million breaks you could add on top and it would be a king of that genre. Love the shape of the Soundcloud waves, such a solid lil nugget.

By Dilrukshi Handunnetti
The late Yasapalitha Nanayakkara was a trendsetter in the Sinhala cinema with his penchant for commercially successful film-making. Often he cast the late Vijaya Kumaratunga as his chosen hero. In the late sixties, it was becoming trendy to produce Tamil twins to the Sinhala movies.
Often, the Tamil hero was Vaithilingam Palanisamy Ganesan, also known as Sri Lanka's M.G.R.
A commercially successful film producer and Tamil film idol, V. P. Ganesan dreamt big and was determined to take Sri Lanka's Tamil film industry to new heights. There had been many pioneers before him, but it was Ganesan who introduced the formula for commercial success to the Tamil film industry here.
Three decades ago, the Sinhala and Tamil film makers, casts and technicians worked together. Except for the hero and comedian, often the same cast acted in both the Sinhala and Tamil versions.
Collective efforts
"Not only were there these collective cinematic efforts, artistes worked together, influencing and nurturing the language -specific cinema. Master Rocksamy and Master Muttusamy were giants as was Vamadevan and K. Gunaratnam. But with the 1983 riots, their collective efforts as well as dreams were burnt to cinders together with their studios worth millions," recalls Mano Ganesan, son of V. P. Ganesan.
V. P. Ganesan is the founder of the Democratic Workers' Congress. Many believe Ganesan was the Sri Lankan equivalent of M.G. Ramachandran of Tamil Nadu. Ganesan produced and acted in three commercially successful Tamil films, Puthiya Kattru, Naan Ungal Thozhan and Naadu Pottra Vaazhgha.
Ganesan Jr. himself was a child artiste and often accompanied his father to the movie sets and premieres, absorbing the 'essence of cinematic expression'. He portrayed the childhood of the villain in the film Puthiya Katru (new wind) produced by his father wayback in 1973.
"There was a film-going culture then. The Plaza, Eros and Sapphire were popular Tamil theatres. They were well-known landmarks of yesteryear. There is a supermarket where the Plaza was situated and Sapphire was burnt to ashes. Eros is reconstructed, but the movies shown are from Kollywood," Ganesan says.
Following his father's success in Tamil commercial movie-making, other commercial successes followed. Some had popular actresses, Sonia Dissanayake and Jenita Samaraweera playing the lead. One film was converted into a Sinhala commercial hit, Anjaana, starring Vijaya Kumaratunga. Tamil film producers also began investing in the Sinhala film industry and vice versa.
Many pioneering spirits
There were many pioneering spirits in the Tamil film industry at that time. Most dabbled in cinema for the love of art. But V. P. Ganesan injected commercial success to the local Tamil film industry, inspiring others to take on the challenge of producing local Tamil films. After 1974, four Tamil films were produced by others, in quick succession, as the market began to grow.
"Colombo was a prime market. There were many Tamil filmgoers. The North and the East were two big hubs. The other block was Nuwara Eliya", recalls Ganesan.
As a kid, he once accompanied his father to Jaffna for a film premiere. Outside the Ranee theatre was a massive cutout of V. P. Ganesan. "I hadn't been to Jaffna until then. I felt so proud. But today we only find billboards of Kollywood artistes announcing Kollywood films. Little wonder my father died a sad man, his dreams of a Sri Lankan Tamil film industry burnt along with the Vijaya Studio in Hendala," says Mano Ganesan with a pensive smile.
In retrospect, he identifies the '70s as 'an era of creativity' when efforts were made to develop the Tamil commercial film industry. The heroes and heroines were Sri Lankan. The films had a plural identity.
Sinhala and Tamil artistes found an opportunity to cater to the 'other' audience. They worked together in front of the camera as well as from behind. "If fostered, that would have been the foundation of a Tamil national identity. This dependence on Kollywood wouldn't have been there," Ganesan opines.
Had Sri Lanka's Tamil film industry flourished then, it would have strongly reflected a Sri Lankan Tamil identity. Kollywood reflects Tamil Nadu's cultural expression. Though similar, it is also very different. "There wouldn't have been a need to hinge our cultural and political identity to Tamil Nadu via Kollywood, if we had our own industry. So it is not just the destruction of an industry we mourn but also a cultural and political identity lost," says Ganesan.
A common platform
As a politician, Mano Ganesan feels that both communities no longer have creative avenues of communication, open. For that, there needs to be an art form, a common platform.
The Tamil diaspora, he feels, is often blamed for the clamour for an identity of its own and for promoting extremism. But, there had been no effort made to attract the dollars and pounds they pour into various activities towards the fostering of a Tamil film industry which they can be proud of. "The industry is badly in need of financial assistance for it to revive," he notes.
"Let them not be the voice of Tamil extremism. The Tamil diaspora funds Kollywood movies and Kollywood is increasingly includes Sri Lankan Tamil characters in their productions to cater to this growing market. There are Sri Lankan Tamils all over the world and they fund the film industry in Tamil Nadu", says Ganesan, adding that those in the industry must take advantage of this existing market and the availability of funds that otherwise nurture Kollywood.
As the son of a successful Tamil film producer, Mano Ganesan understands the need for a market. The market exists, but there are no takers here. "We have artistes without livelihood support. I am proud of the fact that they did not relocate post 1983. Somebody should look into their welfare as well".
Role of 'cultural unifier'
Instead of divisive politics, Mano Ganesan still pins much hope on the Tamil film industry to play the role of 'cultural unifier'.
There is continuous blaming for 'Indian cultural flooding'. "There is no need to view Kollywood with suspicion or hate simply due to their international outreach.
"But there lies a golden opportunity to redevelop the Tamil film industry devastated in July 1983, to foster amity between communities and to promote a plural Sri Lankan identity through cinema. This would require political leadership and artistes of vision and courage.
"I am also sad that the Tamil film industry made no representations before the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) about the impact on the industry, and what it holds for the future. Art forms foster reconciliation and we have overlooked this aspect," he notes.
"A step in the right direction would be to subsidize the Tamil film industry. Design methods to attract the Tamil Diaspora funds to develop the film industry and use this opportunity post-war to promote through cinema, a plural identity.
"Take care of the artistes of yesteryear who, despite the violence experienced and properties lost, still live in Sri Lanka with the hope that the Tamil cinema would revive itself. My father's soul will find peace then, knowing that the industry he loved and lived for finally has a second chance," says a hopeful Ganesan. courtesy: Ceylon Today

cowachunga 3.1 - steps
Here, the long-awaited next section of Cowachunga. The start of a new day and a new chapter, which brings with it a puzzling new wrinkle––steps. As always, the novice beta reader is advised to start with Chapter One and Chapter Two.
Kyle winced as the sunlight hit his face far too early. He tried to regain the tail end of a quixotic dream, skimming the edges for brief seconds, halfway between figuring out an intensely deep puzzle and bottoming out. And then he was definitely out––it's impossible to ignore a force that is turning your skin to burnt leather. "You up Dyl?" Kyle called, already aware that his friend was not in the immediate vicinity. He shielded his face and looked out with a massive squint… no one in sight.
In daylight the pool's enrapturing qualities had vanished, replaced by an equally compelling, if soundly utilitarian, appeal as life source. Whatever spell the combination of deep heat and a many-layered cosmos had held last night, the present landscape was more rattlesnake than lounge.
Kyle felt a sudden urge to get out, split, the uneasy sense that the Mustang might have wandered off of its own volition. But Dylan was still not back and he owed it to him to wait. He gingerly traversed not-quite-burning stones, picking up stray socks and boxers beside the pool and stuffing them into his backpack.
Slinging bag over his shoulder, Kyle found a narrowing wedge of shade under large rocks that signaled steeper ascent. There was no obvious way forward, though Dylan's disappearance suggested there must be some way off the plateau––better to stay put, following principles learned in Cub Scouts––he was not going to follow a wisp of a trail and find himself stranded.
Kyle planted himself on a low-slung boulder that made a tolerable seat, practicing monumental inertness––fighting a gnawing urge to head down to the car. There was a latent aching for air conditioning and the sweet thrust of V-6 engine, inching them back to that thin line, civilization. As Dharma Bums as yesterday had been, they had not traveled thousands of miles to experience the outback. It was time to expand in other directions––an Allan Kessler-designed tournament in Vegas, hours of mind numbing strategy in casino environs several notches too cold. The nervous, bored clatter of chips and that crisp harbinger of eternal hope, fresh cards off the deck.
Kyle checked his backpack in a rush of panic––the keys were still in the inner mesh pocket, two firm zippers away from being mislaid. He had had the sense not to trust stoned Dylan or his future stoned self with unfettered conveyance of such an essential item.
After a few minutes Kyle stood up, ready to head to the car. Dylan had probably gone ahead to see if he could rustle up a bite to eat…. first some water––the bottle he had replenished several times from the well last night was empty again and he was intensely thirsty.
Blinking through harsh sunlight at the stone well, Kyle hefted the wood cover off and turned a well-oiled winch that lowered the bucket. Steamy vapors arose… it had been a surprise last night to find the water they drew just as hot as the pool water. After a few moments of contemplation it all made sense––the well water would naturally come from the same thermal source as the pool and be of a similar temperature.
As he lowered the bucket, Kyle squinted at something a couple feet beneath the water's surface. A dark, amorphous shape… some kind of filter or intake gasket? Kyle walked to the far side of the well and examined the ground along the same circumference as the mysterious object. Nothing, just sun-baked hardness… naturally, if a pipe ran from the well at that depth it would be deeply buried…. after staring for 10 good seconds Kyle became aware of a faint discoloration, a six-inch swathe that ran to the precipitous edge of the plateau.
Leaving the bucket dangling, Kyle followed the faint path. Twenty paces to an impossibly sheer drop. Impossible to make out, unless one was looking, a set of narrow steps etched its way along the rock face, curving out of sight halfway down. He marveled, as he had last night groping his way through rock toward the plateau, at the laborious engineering that had gone into this.
Kyle took firm grasp of a twine rope fastened along the side of the rock face and forced an unwilling foot on the first step. It was a 40 foot drop to the more-or-less horizontal terrain below––a scrabble of rocks and boulders that led, he fervently hoped, to a waiting Mustang. Reaching the bend where the steps disappeared Kyle confronted an unexpected drop, with a loosely strung rope the only guard against injurious plummet. Sharply to his left a ledge widened into a shadow-covered indentation in the rock wall––deep and well-concealed enough to be called a small cave.
As his eyes adjusted, Kyle made out a faucet, centered by metal flashing, tightly screwed into the rock face. Turning the spigot, a hard stream of cold water splashed down to a metal grate over a wide drain. He splashed water over his face, smoothing back his hair. Bending over, he drew in mouthful after mouthful of miraculous ice-cold water, too gratified for the nonce to question such an elaborate setup.
Resonances (exit echoes) 11-22-15
Resonance (Exit Echoes) sinks linkages between the voice hummed or sung into the flute and feedback-like harmonics, with waves lapping among the rocks at the end of White Beach. Three years ago you could easily sense the original vibe of Boracay, feel the paradise. Now, not so....
The first section of voice/flute harmonics is connected (with 1960s-era can-do rudimentarism) to Pink Floyd's Echoes, which I recorded while "DJing" at Exit Bar and listening in on very good speakers as my feet sank into the sand. I added my own flute/seagull parts, as the sonic depth and intensity was like actually playing in a group setting with a still very experimental Gilmour, Waters, et al. Followed by a little bonus for the digital sleuths, not telling where I got it. #endurancewriter
Also check out my previous Boracay joints, Spirits (Paris exorcism) and Day - O + The Jungle Song. Oh and the first section of Chapter 3, Cowachunga is coming out tomorrow.
I am further refining the Cowachunga experience on this site. Rather than making people search through old blog posts, I have created dedicated page for each chapter of the ongoing serial novel. Start with Chapter One and if you get hooked, proceed directly to Chapter Two.*
The first installment of Chapter Three is coming on this blog page forthwith. Now that I am settled in in tropical latitudes, at the beach, no buttons to push (though working full time and playing flute) the installments should be rolling in on a weekly basis.
Thank you beta readers - 6,500 organic views a month don't lie––I'm out to prove the masses wrong. There are writers out there who don't pander.** Now back to Serpico.
* Pen and ink drawings included as web-only bonus materials! (SEO alert) Damon Shulenberger EnduranceWriter aka Endurance Writer.
**This is bumpersticker material: Ponder, Don't Pander.
So many realizations here on Boracay, as usual I do not follow the usual vices. I have cut back even further as of late, as playing tribal flute with tribally rooted musicians is its own thing.
The issue I have is that the accepted music here seems so tame. Among the 10 percent of musicians that have some originality, about 2 percent are willing to take it in a jazz direction. The Bob Marley acoustic reggae thing is very nice, but the same same songs bore me.
Maybe this is not due to inclination, but training. I am also technically a worse player than the cats who make money at it. I only play improv, from the heart.
I think I will look further into the whole thing, but now I have to hit the Lokal Bar again, see if I can get Louie to really unwind and play tribal Bukidnon style. Ah maybe tomorrow if Voltaire "Voltage" is free on the djimbe.
I am now working out a little sonic experiment called Resonance (Exit) that sinks linkages between the voice hummed or sung into the flute and feedback-like harmonics, with waves lapping among the rocks at the end of White Beach. Three years ago you could easily sense the original vibe of Boracay, feel the paradise––now it is still green but ultra-luxe, lit up, tamed. They do wedding shoots on the far rocks for Chrissakes.
The first section of voice/flute harmonics is connected (with 1960s-era can-do rudimentarism) to pink Floyd's Echoes, which I recorded while "DJing" at Exit Bar and listening in on very good speakers as my feet sank into the sand. I added my own Flute/seagull parts, as the sonic depth and intensity was like actually playing in a group setting with a still very experimental Gilmour, Waters, et al.
If they let me play songs at Exit again, I gotta try this experiment with some Santana & John McLaughlin. Or maybe a 1964 Miles Davis/Sam Rivers/Herbie Hancock/Tony Williams live combo date in Tokyo. Anyway, the experiment should be up on Soundcloud tomorrow. In the meantime peace yourself out.
Fabric as a form of agnosticism
Thanks to my cousin Paul, a highly literate convert to Eastern Orthodox Christianity, I have further refined my concept of Fabric. My college exposure to philosophy is one root of my thought process, as well as my deepening belief that we as humans need to find a way out of the capitalist/religious traps.
Strange and very au courant that a blog should be the disseminative vehicle for such a weighty realization.
It began with the Facebook caption "That is correct," by my uncle Bob's* brother Andy Rogers, a longtime University of Austin professor, for this picture:
To which I replied: "Convert from agnosticism LMAO."
To which cousin Paul replied: What's funny about that?
To which I soul searchingly came up with:
"One cannot covert from agnosticism because it is not a belief... it is simply a sense of following your own intuition. There are no rules, although implied in such a big word is a passing knowledge of Kant's empirical realism and perhaps the core concepts of Descartes, Plato, Socrates, Gandhi, Spinoza, Jesus, Kierkegaard, Lao Tzu, Sartre, Buddha, Hermann Hesse, Bob... mixed in, one would hope, with some nascent form of what I call Fabric or deep, active world sustainability-focused thought/endeavor.
Atheism is more directly tied to a disacceptance of religious beliefs, so I suppose it would be possible to convert from that to whatever belief system one chose.
For me conversion is a nonstarter because I don't see any established platform dedicated to finding ways for a life-sustaining planet to exist (ideally as a cohesive whole) in 500-1,000 years time. To be more specific, one that accepts people as they are, from whatever belief system.
Naturally, there is a fallacy to my viewpoint, in that such a platform (if successful) would itself become a belief system by another name... unless, I suppose, it was tied to a system of political economy, with teeth. At which stage it would inevitably have messy, unintended consequences. So I am a fervent skeptic, at best.
But I did coin my specific meaning of Fabric and even capitalize it––I must have some form of (agnostically rooted?) faith."
*Bob is a well known free thinker who at age seventy-something, closing in on 80, leads taintradio, bastion of the truly unrepentant.
Dance I dance
Dance they said and I danced,
stop they said and I went on
to the next place I could dance
They were jealous maybe,
lost in an insidious spread
of the repetition blues
Guarded against the obvious
through false dichotomies,
simple kindness misconstrued
for simplicity.
When I dance I dance,
when I am through I'm through.
Sometimes the vibes are just right, the egos disappear. On the beach this seems to happen a lot. In this corner, the Island Rhythms acoustic and djimbe duo + myself on flute. Armand TJ and a number of Frendz sit in a circle, grooving to the flicker of artificial candles.
Fire, who needs fire? The jungle is inside us - some call it remembrance of the natural world.
Regarding my last post BORACAY BUZZ KILL (OR THE BEACH, A COMEDY CONCEPT)- some people have asked why I would hang out in such a smartphone infested locale. Others have asked me whether I myself have not been guilty of taking photos of superlative sunsets.
All I can say in my defense is, my evening jog begins among that clusterf--- of sunset-capturing devices and reaches its apogee at a much quieter spot. Somewhere I can swim solitary-like and rash free (although the number of sand-skimming boats parked a hundred yards offshore has multiplied).*

* The writing is on the wall - there is very little planning to the current wave of development. It is accepted wisdom that the green tropical lushness on a very small island that once defined the word 'paradise' must be covered in haphazard, four-story boxes.
In the Clearing
There is no clearing, the jungle is overpowering
with elephant shriek and trumpet moan,
the man, the dream, the cunning child
closed in, convoluted
The dreaming world, the beach
the screams through the thicket
nature, untrammeled
piercing horror and never ending
sightless eyes
Cries that reverberate and remind us just how
insignificant is our colony, how
transient and unnecessary––
we are not moving toward the harbor,
we are not shifting with the sun
But if we allow the darkness to run inside us
and the labyrinthine shadows to form in our soul
then maybe we are in the clearing, home.
From Earth Fabric
Above, a recording from another memorable night in Boracay, this time at Lokal Bar. These Talagda tribal flutes I have been playing around the world have found their rightful home. This is the first time I ever played miked up––surprising considering all the jams with DJs in Playa & Tulum last spring.
I have been watching the Peter Sellers film The Party on Youtube over the past two days (I tend to watch movies slowly, in increments) and can confidently say it stands as one of the best films of 1968.
Sellers' portrayal of an awkward Indian Hollywood party crasher may be completely un-PC but I believe he embodies the role with empathy... the boorish movie industry schmoozers take it square on the rump. Sellers' comedic sensibility rivals that of Charlie Chaplin and Groucho Marx, at their most wacky and inspired.
Not only that, but the cinematic concept of moving through an actual party in real time (very groovy space age pad with a proto-smart grid and baby statue that can riotously elevate its arc of piss), with recurring characters and motifs is nothing short of pioneering. It presages Altman and even that more recent movie that was shot at a party by the cast, using smart phones. It is a real shame that a movie like this could probably not be made in the present day, as it would draw the ire of thousands of livid Facebook protesters.
Walking White Beach prior to my daily jog and swim, I noted the swarms of camera toting tourists who have invaded Boracay and made it as pedestrian and anti-magical as a modern iPhone-meerkat concert experience.*
In a Seller-esque mood, I envisioned a movie along the lines of The Party called The Beach (I know, the title has been taken), portraying our hapless protagonists' attempt to wend his way through a bevy of digitized paradise capturers. I think the pictures give a nice concept ideation. Would not be expensive to make. Maybe I'll do it on my iPhone.
* To preserve integrity (and make a point), the photos are all from a single, spontaneously selected 100-foot stretch of White Beach at sunset, taken within 30 seconds.

offended (Freedom & chance dance)
The freedom of not giving a ---- is really at the forefront here. I could raise the ire of censors, the hackles of the hidebound and no one would care. Because if all content is free then I can say whatever the eff I want, whomever it may offend.
I am offended by the publishing industry, I find the big print books that lead readers to obvious conclusions offensive.
I am offended by music for the masses, and of the masses that are so stuffed to the gills with conformist delirium that they think that DJs were ever anything but tied to technological confluence, the dynamite laden motherload.
I am offended by those who have stopped listening to the subtle signs that nature gives us, signaling that something is seriously out of whack.
I am offended by humans who kill other humans and by machines that are programmed to kill other humans. There I said it, I am offended by the cheerful volition with which we eagerly anticipate our own demise. As if there was not still some chance....

text: World / Florence Tourist Killed by Falling Chunk of Famous Church Florence's Basilica of Santa Croce will be closed indefinitely By Newser Editors and Wire Services Posted Oct 20, 2017 7:47 AM CDT Copied Medical personnel walk out of the Santa Croce Basilica after a 52-year-old tourist from Spain was killed by falling masonry, in Florence, Italy, Thursday, Oct. 18, 2017. (Maurizio Degl'Innocenti/ANSA via AP) View 3 more images A 52-year-old tourist from Spain was killed Thursday by falling masonry in one of Florence's most famous churches, the Basilica of Santa Croce. The church, a top tourist attraction, is where Italian luminaries Michelangelo, Galileo Galilei, and Niccolo Machiavelli are buried. The fatal accident raises questions about the state of Italy's considerable cultural heritage, which includes numerous aging and fragile monuments, the AP reports. Culture Minister Dario Franceschini, speaking from New York, said prosecutors would conduct an investigation to determine the cause and if faulty maintenance was to blame. The victim was struck by a decorative stone fragment that fell from a height of 66 feet as he visited the church with his wife. According to Italian media reports, the fragment was about six inches by six inches and supported a beam. The 15th-century basilica, which has a famed neo-Gothic facade, has been undergoing a multi-year maintenance program in collaboration with Italy's civil protection agency, the head of the organization that manages the church tells the Italian news agency ANSA. "We are really astonished at what has happened, and we ask ourselves how it could happen," she says. Authorities are checking the stability of the church, which is expected to remain closed to visitors indefinitely. (Read more Florence stories.) View 3 more images

Bacon has long been a favorite ingredient but recently, more innovative ways of using it have come to the forefront of bacon cuisine. And this recipe is one such innovative twist––instead of relying on tortilla or bread as shells for your food, make them out of bacon! Here is how to make bacon cups.
Bacon cups:
- 5 to 7 bacon strips per "cup"
Your choice of food to fill each cup with. Suggestions include:
- Turkey, Swiss and sauteed mushrooms
- Lettuce and tomatoes
- Mushrooms sauteed with sun-dried tomatoes and pesto
- Eggs and cheddar
PB&J bacon cups:
- 5-7 strips bacon for each cup
- Peanut butter or almond butter
- Grapes (about 4 to 5 per cup)
Bacon cups
1Preheat the oven to 400ºF/200ºC.
2Turn a muffin pan upside down. To create the cups, you'll need to use the convex mounds of the base for molding. You need a muffin pan for large muffins.
3Lay foil over each of the muffin mounds, as many times as you need bacon cups. Cover and crimp the foil as you're laying it, so that it molds around the mound of each muffin space.
4Make the bacon cups. The secret to making sure that this works effectively is to weave the bacon slices into place––don't simply slap the bacon slices on. To weave into place:
- Make a plus sign, "+", or cross over the top of the first mound.
- Wrap the sides once, and at the same time, weave the top portion in and out.
- Lay the next slice on one side of the top slice.
- Repeat the side weaving with another bacon slice with the new top piece.
- Lay another slice on the other side on the top. This will then give you a fully-covered bottom cup.
- Repeat the side weaving with another bacon slice, using the third top piece.
5Bake the bacon for 10-15 minutes. You will need to monitor the bacon since the timings will differ on how crispy you want the cups to be.
6Carefully remove each cup from the foil. If the bacon sticks to the foil, carefully set the bottom of the bacon pieces in a large pan and move them around so that they loosen up. Wait until they are cooled down before removing them from the foil.[1] X Research source
- Using the grease from the bacon during the pan cooking process makes it easier to separate it from the foil, rather than pre-greasing the pans prior to cooking. If you spray the pans beforehand, the cups may not hold their shape during the cooking process, thus risking more of a chance of the bacon moving around and shrinking.
7Fill each bacon cup with your choice of food. One idea is to make easy BLT filling for the cups.Advertisement
PB&J bacon cups
1Follow the instructions to make the bacon cups as set out in the previous method.
2Slather peanut or almond butter on the bottom of each bacon cup. Be generous!
3Slice grapes. Make thin slices from the grapes, being careful of your fingers.
4Place the grape slices inside the bacon cups. Estimate around 4 to 5 grapes worth of slices per cup.
5Bake in the oven at 400ºF or 200ºC for 10 to 15 minutes. Follow the instructions in the previous method for baking and removal.
6Enjoy your PB&J masterpiece.Advertisement

About this article
If you want to make bacon cups, turn a muffin pan upside-down, and press foil over the muffin mounds. Next, lay 2 strips of bacon in an X-shape over the top of the first mound. Wrap a third piece of bacon around the side of the muffin mound, weaving it in and out of the previous strips of bacon. Repeat the weaving process with another strip on top of the one you just placed, then continue for each cup you'll need. Bake the cups at 400°F for 10-15 minutes. Keep reading to get fun recipe ideas for your bacon cups, like making a BLT filling!

Sources: Bombing associate not armed when shot to death
Group wants civil rights probe into Todashev death
Law enforcement sources told ABC News that an associate of one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects was not armed when he was shot to death in his Orlando, Fla. apartment on May 22.
The FBI and two members of the Massachusetts State Police were interviewing Ibragim Todashev when he was killed.
Officials initially told ABC News that a knife was involved in the confrontation. However, the next day, officials said there was confusion about whether a weapon was involved.
The FBI released the following statement on Wednesday evening:
"The FBI is conducting a review of the May 22, 2013, shooting of Ibragim Todashev, 27, which occurred at Todashev's residence, at 6022 Peregrine Avenue, Orlando, FL. The FBI's shooting incident review team interviews witnesses and gathers information regarding the shooting incident for presentation to a Shooting Incident Review Group (SIRG), which consists of members from the FBI and the Department of Justice. The SIRG examines all of the information and determines the reasonableness of the application of deadly force in accordance with the Department of Justice's Deadly Force Policy and the law. While this internal review process is occurring, we cannot comment regarding investigative details. The FBI takes very seriously any shooting incidents involving our agents and as such we have an effective, time-tested process for addressing them internally. The review process is thorough and objective and conducted as expeditiously as possible under the circumstances."
Meantime, an advocacy group is demanding a civil rights investigation into the death of Todashev.
A spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations said Wednesday his group is asking the U.S. Department of Justice's civil rights division to open a probe into how he died.
The medical examiner has ruled the death a homicide.

What it means: The number of teenagers doing part-time work over the summer holidays has fallen from 42% to 18% in the last ten years. Girls are more likely to take on a summer job than boys. Esther McVey thinks we should get more teens back into work, instead of focusing all their time on studying. Jobs teach youngsters 'soft skills', she says, like customer service and problem solving. A bit of experience will also make it easier to get a job later down the line. She's placing 20,000 vacancies for part-time jobs for young people on the government's Find A Job website. It's not clear whether that means she thinks a lack of vacancies is the problem, or if its a symbolic move to encourage young people to get applying. If it's the former, though, she'll need to create a few more: there are 1.5 million 16 to 17 year olds in the UK.

Wash/Rinse System for Large Parts Baskets
Ramco has a long history in building custom and often challenging parts washers. The above wash/rinse system was recently built for a major aerospace contractor. It was designed to replace a large vapor degreaser with an environmentally safe water based detergent washing system. The system consists of two huge agitating parts washers to degrease 216 cubic feet of components in a basket with a gross weight of 1000 pounds. Each station is controlled via a digital cycle timer to automatically transport the workload into solution, wash or rinse with oscillating platform agitation and return the work to the original loading position. A large pneumatic power cover on each station automatically opens and closes in sequence with the elevator position. Additional features include an Oil Decant System with Surface Sweep (shown to the left) and a SuperTurbo on the wash. Each tank holds 3110 gallons, stands 109″ to the loading height and 212″ overall height!

Dark Chocolate Guinness Banana Muffins
Last week was not a good week. I was all excited about baking with Guinness again, but both recipes I was trying to develop failed and one I even tried twice. I was very disappointed to say the least. What a waste of good beer. So I gave up and made muffins instead. Of course, I did throw some Guinness in them, so they are not completely healthy. But hey, we can't all be saints. Some of us have to be sinners. Even more sinful, is the fact that I also made an insanely delicious whipped butter spread to go with these Dark Chocolate Guinness Banana Muffins that has a bit of Baileys Irish Cream in it. Hey, if the Irish can put liquor in their coffee, I can put some in my muffins and butter.
