January 1, 2019
It's official. 2018 was the wettest year in central Kentucky since area record-keeping began in 1872.
Our non-gmo soybeans are still in the field. We've been unable to harvest them because we've not gotten a good period of dry. Driving into town, I see other farmers in the same situation, fields unharvested. It's a real mess, but one that was predicted by climate specialists at the Donella Meadows fellowship 10 years ago. "Kentucky? Drought and deluge…"
For the farm, this would be a near-disaster, except for the organic hemp crop and the support of our Homestead Alternatives hemp CBD customers. So one lesson -- one I didn't have to learn on a farm, but in life -- is don't count on one thing, but do several things well.
Obviously, this is easier said than done. It takes us away from the reductionist mid-set, as a farm should. When we switched to organics, this became even more compelling. Everything is connected. We feed the microbes, who feed the plants, who feed us. The climate is impacted by how much carbon our organic soils and timberland can absorb and hold. The local economy is impacted by our ability to make good jobs.
Dr. Susan Shore is spending two weeks here, and we are planning our climate change project for 2019. She has written a post with her perspective, on the climate page here.
October, 2018
We finally have some dry weather, and harvest is on. We've got our Cobbler variety of CBD in the barn, and finished our organic corn today. Our organic yellow corn goes in the grain bin, for sale in 2019. Our organic Bloody Butcher is cleaned and sacked, ready for the granary, which we'll fire up after Thanksgiving.
May – High Summer, 2018
High Summer, here we are!
In June, we hosted Berea College's program for the Whitney Young Scholars, got up our first cutting of hay, and mowed the farm off. Our hay fields are certified organic, and we fertilize them after each cutting with Mt. Folly Compost tea. It's "our secret recipe," so I'm not going to tell you how we make it, (it's all organic, and the inspector reviews the mix.) but I can tell you that the whole point of the brew is to feed the soil.
This is the paradigm shift in organic food production. On Mt. Folly, the soil is alive! And this is why we at the Organic Farmer's Association think hydroponic organics goes against some of the basic principles of organic farming. This at a minimum should be labeled, so customers can know the difference.
For my part, having been at it for 35 years, I've concluded that deception in food advertising is so pervasive that local knowledge and transparency are the only answers. This is the reason behind this website, and the science and legal tabs on Laura's Mercantile website, and the "our-doors-are-open" policy at Mt. Folly.
Even though I've moved to a vegetarian product line, I find it hard to imagine the farm surviving without our excellent cow herd, both for land use reasons and soil fertility reasons. Ruminant animals have been roaming global grasslands since the Pliocene, and have been part of human existence since the Neolithic period, when the Auroch was domesticated.
This summer, an intern has worked on carbon sequestration related to building organic matter. We can do this better and faster with compost and herd behavior. But that is a whole other story….
I love organic farming. Being an early adopter in Kentucky, we have to invent our way to success. To this end, Pascaul, Juan and Jason deserve a shout out for "the invention," which has been in action when the Johnson grass was stalky, about a month ago. (We posted this on the farm's facebook page.)
It has regrown, now willowy, with many seeds. The new adaptation will mow the seed heads off, thus giving it at least one more good punch. (It will never go down…not in Kentucky.) I just went to the barn to look at our new purchase, 4 brand new lawn mowers, to be attached to a Rube Goldberg system of belts and pulleys, mowing and mulching the Johnson Grass before it goes to seed. At least that is the plan.
May saw us get our organic and non-gmo crops in the ground. Hemp planting dragged over until June because of the late delivery of seed. This problem ought to go away as the crop becomes normalized. It has cost us yield for three seasons now. But we keep at it!
Laura doesn't miss getting away for an hour or two. On one of her farm walks, she snapped this picture of a new fern unfolding.
March and April 2018
It has been a cold, wet spring, and we need to get planting. We've weaned the fall calves, fixed everything that needed fixing, and spent two months slogging through mud, and more mud. Right now, the guys are testing the flame weeder, our weapon against weeds in our organic fields.
March saw the Organic Association of Kentucky conference, during which most organic farmers in Kentucky gather to learn from one another and have some fun. I attended the organic hemp track. Then, in early April, I went to Washington, D.C. for the annual meeting of Organic Farmer's Association and we met with our legislators to explain the benefits of organic farming, and asked them to see to enforcement of organic regulations, and stop fraudulent organic imports.
Late in the month, I spoke to Berea College's agriculture students, and met with Leadership Central Kentucky.
Leadership Central Kentucky brought young leaders to Mt. Folly to learn about the farm's environmental efforts and businesses.
Laura, her brother George, and her mother Talitha had a proud day with the unveiling of the Daniel Boone Historical Marker
April 18th marked a high point, the dedication of the Daniel Boone Settlement and Scholl Station Historical Highway Marker. Much of the farm is part of Daniel Boone's only settlement in Kentucky, chosen by Boone in 1775. My mother, distantly related to the Boone's (I'm even more distantly related, I guess.) unveiled the sign, and we had a reception at the log cabin.
The rest of the month has been spent working on the distillery when it rained, working on the roads or pasture when it is not. We've got to start planting!
I don't miss a day to get outside, though, and have been able to have nice walks with wonderful wildflowers.
Both Leadership Central Kentucky and Berea College held class in the cabin, where Laura and Ben talked about entrepreneurial agriculture.
January 2018 The big news for January is that we finished our granary, and started grinding heritage cornmeal and grits for local sale. We've sold some Bloody Butcher to a Ky. Distillery, and tried some for Wildcat Willy's, perfecting the grain blend for our new distillery in our hometown of Winchester. Our goal is system sustainability, which means we sell wholesale and make deliveries in our regional food shed (as far as an electric car can travel is our self- imposed limitation for now), with the rest of our business online, delivered through our post office. The farm is to be a carbon sink, and we are figuring out how to measure what we do. Updates are on the Climate page
Finished! We now are milling three kinds of heritage grain.
Selling online is central to our sustainability strategy
For our sustainable farm-based business to be viable, the online store needs to pay its way. So far, it hasn't managed to. In this space, we are competing with Amazon, and we are severely hampered by Facebook, which won't let us advertise or otherwise boost posts with hemp. The wholesale business is great, and we are in more than 100 retail outlets in Kentucky.
Any ideas to improve Laura's Mercantile web store would be welcomed. Please let me know how we can do better: the product line, the website itself, or anything else.
Retail sales have been great
Despite no rain for a month there is still water in the larger creeks on the farm
November – The month started out with rain, which came to a sliding stop, and as I write this (December 3) it is pretty droughty and unseasonably warm. We've only had a trace of moisture in the last 30 days. This has stunted the cover crops, but allowed us to finish harvest in good time.
The organic corn and soybeans, the non-gmo corn, and the heritage grain are stored here on the farm. We don't have storage for one crop, and this year we chose to sell our non-gmo soybeans out of the field. They are on a barge to Japan, which bans growing gmo crops, but allows gmo crops to be imported. Our customer is a grain elevator owned by the Japanese, supplying a wary domestic market. I was elected in September to the policy committee of the Organic Farmers Association, sponsored by Rodale in an attempt to keep the farmer's voice in national organic policy. I invite you to become familiar with the group, our issues, and join if you are a farmer. http://organicfarmersassociation.org A link at the bottom of the page shows current position polices for the organzation.
Stunted cover crops
We are hosting commununity events
at the log cabin
We are also starting to have folks visit the farm, and I'll talk policy and organic farming and climate with anyone who shows up when I'm here. One guy came to check out the B&B and wound up on a speedy hike down the farm lane, so I could squeeze exercise into my day. He has experience with Rocky Mountain horses, a breed of Appalachian mountain horse the foundation stallion of which, Old Tobe, is associated with Natural Bridge State Park, which is 40 minutes from the farm. Continuing to ride these minor breeds is important work, but is something I'm not able to do since my riding accident. I have a couple of ideas in the back of my head about this, though. If you would like to get to know the Rocky Mountain horse better, let me know.
Finally, in November, we had two community events at the cabin, which dovetails well with my interest in real community, not virtual ones. I hope we can keep this up.
At last! The log cabin at the Mt. Folly Homestead is open! It is available for rent for long weekends, and if you'd like to stay longer, we can work something out.
It is a place for events and retreats, too. Yesterday, we had a group of researchers working on a fascinating aspect of Clark county history. If you would like to know more about either option, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Cabin at Mt Folly
Living room in the cabin
Germination as of 11/5/17
We are plugging along with harvest, the weather being wet and warm, which makes things difficult. We managed to get a soil health cover crop (Crimson clover, rye, and Austrian winter peas) planted on two 25-acre non-gmo crop fields the week of October 23, and I checked today, and we have germination.
I'm going to post pictures of the crop, winter through spring, so you can get a better feel of the process for building soil fertility and sequestering carbon through growing plants in the winter.
September-We are creeping closer to our farm stay grand opening. The floors are done, and the cabinets are set.
On the farm, we are getting ready to harvest, and fall calving is in full swing.
August-The solar panels went up on the log house, and we've hung the sign on Laura's Mercantile at the Crooked House. We hosted the Organic Association of Kentucky Field Day, a big event for us. We looked at the organic crops, the specialty equipment, and served a farm-to-table lunch for 65!
We mixed up a batch of hempcrete and used it to chink between the logs in the cabin. The new product should have many benefits, from the insulation to environmental properties.
We've attempted hand weeding our hemp, but have done little good. The weed population has overwhelmed the crop, for the 3rd year in a row.
July – We have been trying to figure out how to best use our new "flame weeder." This is considered an important piece of organic equipment, and is a pretty fearsome contraption. It knocks back the Johnsongrass, but the Johnsongrass comes back and there is some damage to the crop, in this case organic soybeans.
One of our biggest organic farming successes this year has been using buckwheat as a smother crop. This is a practice we'll expand next year. Very pleased with it!
Janet White invented the best Hickory King Cornbread Blueberry cake, and taught us to make it. She has also developed chocolate cornbread…really.
The corn is tasseling, and some is as high as an elephant's eye! We are going to make a good crop.
We visited Berea College's organic farm, particularly to learn about their grain-grinding program. Many thanks to Andrew Oles and Sean Clark for rolling out the red carpet.
June—We think we've got a handle on the weed load in our organic fields, with the exception of the hemp. We have been trying to cultivate it with an old tobacco tractor. It was planted too late!
Taking the whole crew, we attended a field day at Windy Acres Farm in Tennessee. Thank you Alfred and Carney Farris!
May-We didn't get all our cover crops planted last fall, so we planted Austrian winter peas in late February. Here is what they look like today, May 23rd, before we plow them down for our organic corn. Picture those cover crops we did get planted last fall are lush and building our soil fertility. Just like we like them. Picture remodeling our log house into a farm stay rental is part of our business plan, and sawing the logs from another 18th century cabin is how we'll get authentic era floors. Here are the sawn logs, drying after getting wet on the drive back from the mill in Georgetown, KY. We've got goats everywhere, it seems. They are our new brush cutters.
April – From the field to the grocery store…it's a long way!
Here we are with our hemp chocolates in Kroger's before Derby Day.
What a dream it is to take a wild flower walk in the Hornback Hollow. Next year, this will be available for guests
March – Work on the log house proceeds apace. Angelo has rebricked the fireplace in the 19-century ell, which we have gutted to modernize. We've had to dig down to the dirt in the original cabin, as the floor joists were rotten. This is going to be some project!
February – demolition on the cabin is done. Now we are starting on the chimney in the ell, which we brick over or tear down.
We have early jonquils in the Andy Robinson cemetery at Dry Ridge. Come learn about the Civil War African-American settlement, and, if you know anything about it, please contribute to our effort to document the amazing story.
Laura signed on the dotted line for 31 East Broadway, which she is restoring and then turning over to Ben and Bill for a distillery.
Late February-Generally, we try to plant cover crops on all our fields, but every once and a while, we don't get this done. On the organic ground shown above, the weed load (johnsongrass in particular) was so bad, that we plowed, and then this spring planted spring peas. We will harrow these under before we plant organic corn in May.
We celebrated New Year's Eve here at the farm, with my husband Bill in a hospital bed, having just had his knee replaced.
As of mid-January, prices have improved a bit, and we are starting to sell our non-GMO corn. When we deliver to the terminal at the Ohio River, CGB, the purchaser, does a variety of tests to ensure there is no genetic pollution in the crop. We've passed with flying colors!
Our big winter news, however, is the decision to remodel the farm's original residence, a 1790 log house, which had an "L" built on it in the 1840's. A Kentucky Landmark, it needed some TLC. The TLC turned into tough love, as running plumbing that wouldn't freeze and putting in a better kitchen, was impossible without interior demolition. This revealed a 2-story brick chimney, which will be the centerpiece of the "L". The cabin is in pretty good shape, almost ready for its close-up.

Making mistakes while learning has memory benefits for older brains
A recent study by canadian researchers has found that learning things the hard way, i.e., via trial and error is more beneficial for the human brain than compared to the prevalent view that it would hurt memory performance. This might surprise a large body of science published literature which actually strives on error less learning for adults. The report say that in learning things which… More

More GFS tuning
by ian on Jun.25, 2009, under GFS, Tech Stuff
Finally had some time to do some more GFS tuning on my test cluster.
First thing I've discovered that even writing small (~1Mb) files, using directio cuts your throughput in half. It's fail, don't use it. Same with data journaling. Don't bother.
But where the SWEET stuff is with glock_purging and demote_secs. On a 100Mbps network connection to an old cranky Dell workstation with the iSCSI target running… 3 servers writing 1000 1-Mb files to random locations on the GFS filesystem, I saw up to 6.8Mb throughput on all 3 servers at the same time. Hopefully I'll get some real SAN hardware soon so I can get some real performance.
The two parameters are glock_purge and demote_secs. You set them with:
gfs_tool settune /my/gfs glock_purge X
gfs_tool settune /my/gfs demote_secs X
glock_purge accepts an argument that tells gfsd what percentage of unused locks to purge every 5 seconds. Redhat recommends starting at 50 and working your way up. I'm currently pushing 90 right now, but I think that may be a bit too aggressive, but then I'm just doing some benchmarking. Production may turn out to be different.
demote_secs is the number of seconds that gfsd will wake up and demote locks and flush data to disk. So it stands that a lower number may be beneficial. I'm currently at 5, but this may be too silly, but I like to see what the extremes look like as I dial in. The default is 300 seconds.
You can read more about them here
Here's how I set up my mounts on all 3 servers:
mount -t gfs /dev/myvg/mygfs /mnt/gfs -o acl,noatime,nodiratime
gfs_tool settune /mnt/gfs statfs_fast 1
gfs_tool settune /mnt/gfs glock_purge 90
gfs_tool settune /mnt/gfs demote_secs 5
Remember these numbers are probably not good for production.
On one of the servers, I do a little for loop to set up the test:
for i in {1..1000}; do mkdir /mnt/gfs/$i;done
This creates 1000 folders on the gfs mount.
Then a short bash script:
## gfshammer.sh
##GFS testing script. Yay.
echo "Starting: "`date`>>~/timefile
for i in {1..1000}
NUM=`let R=$RAND%1000;echo $R`
SIZE=`let S=$RAND%1000;echo $S`
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/gfs/$NUM/test$i bs=1024 count=$MYCOUNT
This will creat randomly sized files full of random data in random places on the GFS filesystem. I ran this on all 3 nodes at the same time and saw lows of 4MB/sec to highs of 6.8MB/sec, usually around 6MB/sec. That ain't bad given the underlying infrastructure: 100Mbps LAN, single spindle on an old workstation. I think at this point I'm being bottlenecked by the network. I was getting around 6MB/sec with just a single node without any glock tuning the other day, so this seems like a big jump forward.
Also, I tried GFS2, and I'm sad to report that its performance is nowhere near what I was getting with GFS. I can't tune glocks as GFS2 is supposed to be self-tuning, but I saw a pretty significant drop in throughput when I tried it, so back to GFS we go…
GFS Tuning and Iran
by ian on Jun.24, 2009, under GFS, Tech Stuff
I'm not surprised that the Iranian government stacked the deck and tried to screw their own people over. People who are in power illegitimately ususally go to any means to ensure that they STAY in power. I'm also disappointed in our own talking heads, especially McCain, who think that we should be charging in somehow and fixing this for the Iranians. Because it worked so well in Iraq. A democracy that is forced on people isn't a democracy. Countries like Iraq, who have spent the last few decades under the opressive rule of a dictator, they don't know what to do with the democracy they've been given. The fate of the Iranian people lies in their own hands, all we can do as a responsible nation is to make sure that they don't get all machinegunny on their own people.
Anyway, today's topic is….GFS tuning. I was doing some benchmarking with a cluster of three nodes all tied back to a shared GFS filesystem that is shared via iSCSI. I don't think the underlying network is gigabit, likely Fast Ethernet and the iSCSI server is a measly little workstation. With the default parameters, I was getting initially 5 megabytes/sec dd'ing /dev/urandom to a file until it was a gigabyte in size. Once we had that baseline down, I did a few tests. This is the standard command I used on all my tests:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/my/gfs/file bs=1024 count=1000000 <- Random garbage of about a gig in size
Clustering made EZ
by ian on Jun.02, 2009, under Clustering, Tech Stuff
I'm going to be a little helpful and explain how to do clustering on Redhat Linux. This should also work for Fedora and CentOS. But don't ask me about other distros, I don't use them.
First, some definitions. When I say clustering, I'm talking about high availability. Not parallel or cloud computing. Not that tired old joke "Imagine a Beowulf cluster of that! HAWHAWHAW".
/SLAP! God, I hate Slashdotters.
When we're talking clustering, we're talking about making things highly available by throwing 2 or more computers at providing some kind of service, be it a file share, application, etc… We're also not talking about load balancing, that's something else in the Redhat world (Pirhana).

KBS044: Deep Core Bulk Density and Archiving
In use from 2001-01-01
Note: Due to the need to perform moisture and C/N analyses, samples must be weighed wet, sieved, mass of rocks measured and recorded before drying at 60 ° C for 48 hrs.
- Intact core sample
- # 10 and # 20 paper bags (pre-labeled)
- Meter Stick
- 4mm sieve (Treatment specific)
- Data Sheets
- Drying Oven @ 60 ° C
- Balance
- Custom™ Soil Grinder
- Pint and Quart Canning Jars (pre-labeled)
General Procedure
- Pre-label paper bags with the appropriate information about the sample (e.g. date, plot, station, core#, horizon, variate)
- Delineate horizons (Ap, Bt, Bt2).
- Measure core height for each horizon.
- Carefully cut open core liner and remove the first horizon.
- Weigh first (A) core horizon section, record.
- Sieve A horizon, weigh rocks >4mm, record mass.
- Place sieved core section in labeled paper bag, discard rocks >4mm.
- Brush sieve and repeat procedure for all horizon sections.
- Place samples and 10 empty paper bags (for each size used) in drying oven at 60 ° C for at least 48 hours.
- Remove samples and paper bags from oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes.
- Weigh samples and paper bags. Determine soil mass by subtracting mean bag weight from the weight of the soil core + bag weight.
- Add weight of rocks to soil dry weight for total dry weight.
Bulk density (g/cm3) = W/V where W = total oven-dry weight in grams Dry weight of sieved soil + weight of rocks >4mm V = volume of core section in cm3 Cylindrical Volume = (π)(r2)h % Soil Moisture = ((TW – W)/W) * 100 where TW = Total wet soil weight in grams W = Total dry soil weight in grams + weight of rocks >4mm – bag weight
Archival Procedure:
- Run entire dried individual horizon section through the Custom™ Soil Grinder.*
- Clean out grinder between each sample.
- Store ground sample in pre-labeled canning jar (pint for A and quart for B horizon).
- Archive jars in original jar boxes in order of T-R-S-C-H where:
T = Treatment# R = Replicate# S = Station# C = Core# and H = Horizon
*Deep core soil archived for 2010 was not ground.

STONE's DISPENSARY REVIEWS
Happy customers are our number one concern here at STONE! We do our very best to have professional and knowledgeable bud tenders to serve you the best and purest Flower, Concentrates and Edibles in Denver!
We have looked up our reviews at Leafly, Google and Yelp and are happy to see the majority are five stars! We have aggregated the latest five reviews from each to our site for your convenience.
Leafly Reviews
"Budtender was knowledgeable about the products queried and explained in great detail the effects and benefits of the strains. Left with some delicious Durban Poison (S) and Jedi Kush (I) for day and night use. 10/10 would recommend."
"Love the layout, super clean, and everyone that works there is obviously there for the customers. Will be frequenting frequently!"
"Outstanding customer service with a nice selection of strains at a great price. Definitely will recommend and will be returning "
"My visit to P.O.T was fantastic. Out of the multiple dispensaries (4+) visited, P.O.T by far had the best customer service. Bud tender Dan, thanks for the hook-up man...we will definitely be by again soon!!"
"The prices were great as I had to shop rec because my purple card is not legible. The marijuana was great and so were the budtenders . Bright and cheery inside and very clean . AND they had a crapton of stickers! I recommend!"
Google Reviews
One of the best dispensaries I have been to. Convenient location, great environment, and friendly service. I was impressed with how the place looks as well as the knowledge of the staff. I did not feel pressured or ignored as I have at other dispensaries. Got some great meds too, I will be coming back for sure!
My first time in Denver, first legal purchase. The staff were super friendly and helped me make the right choice. Just a solid experience for me.
Definitely always able to fix you right up!!! Hard to find a place like this anymore in Denver!!! Many thanks to the Preferred Organics Team
One of Julie's Natural Edibles Flagship stores! The staff is by far one of my favorites and they see me often because it is nice to stop by such a friendly place. Oh and the MMJ is fabulous:)Yours Truly, Julie Dooley
Best bud for the best price un this area probably all off denver, get a coupon and it gets even cheaper.
Yelp Reviews
One of my favorite recreational dispensaries! It's very clean and modern looking. Employees were extremely friendly and welcoming. SOME OF THE MOST STONEENT BUDS YOU WILL FIND IN DENVER. They provide wonderful and helpful service, and they always weigh the bud out in front of you (not too common)! =]
This place is my go to. Plenty of choices and great deals if you look. Girls Scout is great here as well. Friendly and consistent staff.
Usually have a pretty good selection of Viola Extracts, which I tend to have difficulties finding. Bud tenders seems nice enough, but don't really offer any more information than what you ask about. This review pertains to their medical selection. Cash only, but they have an ATM onsite.
Such a grand experience with the tenders, helpful, knowledgeable and very nice. The flowers were top of the line and exactly what I asked for in an herb. Clean store, open and bright as well as the selection of edibles and topical oinment. We will be back! I urge all who love a good bud and happy face to visit here!

But if you've never listened to their story or watched it unfold, you will never know—or worse, never care—about it….And the odds of you making a meaningful impact in such lives is slim.
Who wants to live a life without any purpose or meaning whatsoever? Despite what people might say, the way they live their lives is the final word. People want to be acknowledged, to belong, to make a difference in this world, however small.
If we are honestly committed to Christ, we are going to be committed to what He is committed to, and Jesus Christ is committed to loving every single human being.
SO…Christians should love on (listen to, pray for, encourage, speak truth to, give of our time/talents/money, etc.) every person they come into contact with, online or offline, to the greatest extent possible!
In order to do that, we need to listen. And after we listen, we need to do something about what we've heard (or seen, as the case may be).
When I go on youtube, I almost always read the first page of comments, especially if a song I've listened to is about God but doesn't actually say so explicitly.
Doing this gives me an opportunity to listen to people who don't believe in Jesus…and I almost always end up either commenting back or messaging a person inviting them into my life via friendly conversation. I take the opportunity to ask them why they don't believe, or how they came to believe what they do.
The point is not to Bible thump or shove what I believe down their throats—it's to love them and encourage them toward understanding Who God really is.
It's to start a conversation about the life behind the curtain (the spiritual life, the one really running the show) that continues beyond those few messages.
I read an incredible story (Christianity Today) via a link on fb my husband showed me about doing just this. Check it out w/the link above—you will not be disappointed.
God is amazing! I can't even begin to imagine what would have happened if the pastor hadn't listened to this woman's struggle(s) , and decided to initiate a spiritual conversation with her. Love radically changed her life.
Be bold enough to show the love of God to someone (or better yet, several people) today!
Send a card, write a letter/email/post, make a phone call, set up a lunch date…do what you have to do to communicate that this person matters to you, that this person's opinion, feelings, values, and actions matter to you. You'll change a life forever.
Even the smallest stone, when given the chance, creates a ripple in the pond.

Information Design
November 13, 2012
I chose this image for the information design because it has a lot of information, with a very simple design. The design is very appealing because of the colors that the designer chose; the contrast of the colors make each layer stand out. There is a key that describes what each color represents and on the top of each block, there is the name of the city that is being represented. The imagery is clearly displayed and again, there is another key describing what each of those represent. One of the blocks has a measuring grid next to it to explain what each sized level represents so the viewer can use that to determine the rest of the layers. This is a very clever way to have the measuring tool in it without it overwhelming the design. This is a very eye appealing and clever way to convey a large amount of information on a single diagram.

Beginners Group Leader, Coach
I am married with 3 sporty boys and I have been a member of the Darlington Harriers for about 11 months now and I can certainly say, I'm proud to be part of such a fantastic group of supportive sporting people. I am a qualified coach in Leadership in Running Fitness (fully DBS checked by the EA) and the beginners group has grown from strength to strength. The group caters for people who are either completely new to running, maybe need a refresh after being out of it for a while or simply require some extra fitness building. Watching the group blossom and move onto senior levels of running is fantastic and I would recommend the Harriers to everyone who has an interest in running at whatever level for whatever reason.

What To Expect In 2013 At Anthem
Late in 2010, I was severly injured and left with painful nerve damage. Which resulted in all of 2011 being about learning how to live and minister in contstant pain. Very little change resulted in frustration leading to pastoral burnout over a year later. This all culminated early on in 2012 when the deicision to take an 11-week sabbatical was made by the pastors of the c...Keep Reading

We thought it was a sure thing, almost no one signed up to this tournament. We could do really well, of course we should go! The 3 amigos from Canada signed up for the Guatemala 5k and arrived together on Halloween night. The first day of qualifying was already finished and we were in eager anticipation of our first match in the main round. Due to lack of players, all 3 of us made it straight into the main round while the qualification filled up with local players. Don't be fooled by the fact that they were "locals", they knew how to play, and being perfectly climatized they had no problem enduring through a long match.
We arrived at the club in the morning. The complex was massive and in a rather strange neighborhood. On google maps, the Dolphine Club seems like it takes up an entire block and is surrounded by a million tiny homes. Me and my fellow Canadians, Cory and Thomas, hit the ball around and got used to the courts. The courts were quick and the altitude was deadly making for a difficult mental and physical challenge when the rallies were extended. After our morning hit we fuelled up on whatever we could get at the club, eating mainly small sandwiches with some questionable produce and meat. It was ill-advised to venture out into this area to look for food, especially when you look foreign. With food and water in our bellies, we lay down and slept for awhile, then watched the last round of qualifying.
Guatemala City
Around the 2nd or 3rd match, one of the three musketeers had mysteriously disappeared. Thomas was nowhere to be found. I remembered he had mentioned that he was having trouble with a headache earlier that day. I then received a text: "Josh, can you bring me some water, I'm in the bathroom throwing up, my lips are blue, I am shaking." And… the first man bites the dust.
We made it back to the hotel okay, the shuttle driver was a pleasant fellow. Thomas lay on the bathroom floor, ensuring us he would be okay. Cory and I Uber'd to the nearest mall to find some food. Somewhat fearful of this mysterious illness I opted for pizza and a bottled water. Cory had some pasta and an iced tea. My bottled water was frozen, which didn't allow me to pour it into my chilled glass with ice. Cory's beverage came chilled and on ice.
Back at the hotel, we found Thomas asleep in bed. Cory and I laid our heads down to rest for tomorrow's match, we were actually playing each other. I was then awoken by a horrific sound. It was 3 am and I realized that it was not Thomas in the bathroom anymore. The second man bites the dust… I felt a shot of adrenaline course through my body. Was I next?
Day 2 begins. Maybe it was the ice for Cory? Maybe it was the water Thomas drank at the club? We are still unsure. With little sleep and little energy, we awoke to take the 11 AM shuttle. I was still in good health, my friends were not, and we soon learned there were others in the tournament who had been claimed by this illness. Cory and Thomas tried to regain their strength for their matches. Cory warned me before we went on court, "watch out man, I'm ten pounds lighter now, I'm gonna be floating around on court". They remained in good spirits, but unfortunately, their efforts to rally proved to be futile. Cory and my match lasted 20 minutes and sadly, Thomas could only manage 11, the shortest match I've ever heard of. Well done to both of them for getting on court though!
The facility at the Delphine Club. Notice the top half of the squash courts on the second floor.
Now very fearful, I tried to avoid any local food and stay safe. I ate pizza, granola bars, almond butter on bread and bottled water. None of which I would usually eat, but I figured I'd rather gain a few pounds rather than lose 15… Unfortunately, I awoke that night around 11 PM to find my stomach was a bit off. From that point it came on fast and furious, I slept in the washroom that night, spending most of the time focusing desperately on staying poised. Cory gave me a bit of medicine as well. I knew if I was going to compete at all I would have to seriously fight this thing. I lay on the bathroom floor, praying that I would feel better, that I would somehow be made well.
To my surprise, the next day I was able to resist the nausea and other symptoms, although I was still unable to eat. Cory and Thomas were feeling better so I was hopeful I would be able to rally and compete. I got on the court for a practice hit around 12 PM. It was a strange sensation to wield a racket which felt like it had gained 10 pounds. Despite the weakness, I still felt able to move around and hit the ball.
I tried my best to get some fuel in me, running off a brownie power bar and some Gatorade. I stepped on the court for my match. I was playing a young local from Guatemala who had managed to avoid the sickness, he kept the pace high, possibly sensing my weakness. The games were close. With every fiber of my being, I tried to stay in the rallies, stay with his pace, take the ball early and win. I lost a close 3 game match, 11-9, 11-3, 11-9. The match lasted about 40 minutes and felt like 3 hours. There were times where I started to lose my sight and nearly passed out. Cory later told me that he had trouble cheering me on due to the fact that it looked so painful. I was bleach-white with black bags under my eyes.
I decided to cut the trip short and come home a few days early. So I am sitting in the airport now, on the recovery. My friends have gone to Antigua to see the volcanos and Mayan ruins. This has been the most intense journey of my squash career so far. Many lessons learned. My advice if you are going to central America is this: ONLY drink bottled water, find something that agrees with your stomach and stick to it, care for your friends and watch out for them, and most of all do your best to stay in good spirits – it was the laughter and fellowship that kept us going.

When a disaster evacuation occurs, there is often a fuel shortage and many people are unprepared to deal with this situation.
While electrical outages, food and water shortages are common enough that we have learned to adapt to them, many of us have never had to consider the risk of a fuel shortage – that is until recently.
Fuel shortages are common in other parts of the world and as we have recently seen they also affect the United States when a mandatory evacuation or natural disaster happens.
There are also links below to products I recommend from companies I have a referral relationship with. I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.
Things that can cause a fuel shortage include:
- Disputes between fuel providers and their suppliers or employees
- A long term, large scale electrical shortage causing the shutdown of gas stations.
- The slow reduction in fossil fuels creating physical, financial, or legal restrictions which will stop us using fuel.
- Natural disasters.
In these situations, it is vital to be prepared well in advance so you are not caught without fuel.
Here Is How To Prepare For A Fuel Shortgage
- Use less fuel
- If a fuel shortage looks like it will affect you for more than a few days, figure out how to use less fuel so you can conserve what you have on hand.
- If you live far away from town consider purchasing a month or more of groceries and focusing on frozen, freezable, or canned goods, to minimize shopping trips.
- If you live in an urban setting, walk to the shops even though this means you will have to shop more frequently – or take a wagon or stroller with you so you have a way to transport the groceries you buy.
- Consider working from home if at all possible, or condensing your work days so you have to travel less.
- Carpooling and public transport are also great ways of splitting fuel costs.
Have A Low-Fuel Or Fuel-Free Transportation Alternative Ready
If you really need to get around but your regular vehicle uses a lot of fuel, consider keeping an alternative which uses less fuel.
What your alternative is will depend on where you live.
If you live in the city and are close to the places you need to get, a bicycle is a good choice.
But if you live far out in the country and need to cover greater distances, a low-fuel motorbike or scooter could be a life-changer.
Some people who live rurally will also benefit from using horses, donkeys or cattle for travel.
If you don't have your own livestock, make arrangements with someone who does in case you need emergency fuel-free transportion.
Keep A Stockpile Of Fuel On Hand
This is a very clever idea, but many people get it wrong.
The common mistake is to a bicycle is a good choice, fill them, and stash them away long term.
Petrol or diesel in a gas can in your garage only has a healthy life of three to six months before it becomes useless.
If you intend on keeping a stockpile, fill up your gas cans with 4 month's worth of regular fuel use and cycle them.
That means keeping a date sticker on them, when your fuel is low topping up from the oldest can, and filling a new one.
This cannot be done as effectively with more sensitive engines, though, as it can wear them down.
Keep Your Gas Tanks Full
A simple way to make sure you are ready for a brief fuel shortage is just to keep your vehicle's topped up.
Again, you rarely get much warning when a fuel shortage hits, it is generally well into it that most people find out, and by then it is too late to fuel up.
By never letting your tank drop below half full you can make sure you have enough to keep you moving if there is a brief fuel shortage.
This could make the difference between getting things done and not getting things done in a fuel shortage, or between running out of fuel fast and having enough fuel to get you to an area where the gas pumps work again.
While some might think keeping a filled gan can in your vehicle is a good idea just in case you can't make it to the gas station, do not do this!
Gas cans release fumes, not to mention how flamable gas is and you never know when an accident might happen.
Have An Alternative Heating Option For Your Home
Finally, if your home uses gas, petrol, or diesel to run your heating, then you will need to have a few alternative options.
A simple metal stove which burns coal or a wood burning stove that has a chute to direct smoke out the window, and warms up the room quickly, could be a literal life saver if you need fuel to heat your home.
Be sure to have a stockpile of wood or coal as well as an ax to cut up wood in the event you need more.
Never burn green wood.
A woods or other natural area is a great place to find large branches that have been down for some time and are safe to burn.
Be sure the wood you choose is dry.
While electric heaters are great, keep in mind that chooing an alternative heating option that does not rely on the grid really is your best option.

Russia has criticized the latest vote in the U.S. Congress to tighten sanctions against Iran, stressing that it does not help resolve the nuclear disputes.
Reuters reports that Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Giltov said: "Any additional sanctions are actually aimed at the economic strangulation of Iran but not at solving the problem of non-proliferation. What has been done through the Security Council is quite adequate and sufficient."
The U.S. Congress passed a bill on Wednesday to impose further sanctions on Iran's oil exports; however, there are still more steps before the bill becomes law.
A number of world leaders have expressed hope that Iran's new administration, which was elected on a platform of moderation, could help resolve the nuclear disputes.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to meet Hassan Rohani, Iran's new president, in Kyrgyzstan in September, and the nuclear negotiations are a top item on their meeting agenda.

An interesting look at PHP 7 differences - I had hoped for more context about migrating, from the description

A well-prepared talk with a nicely organised overview of the changes brought in PHP 7. The speaker was calm and spoke clearly, the pace was good. I found the short demonstration of using phpcs with PhpCompatibility very useful - never heard of that option before, so thanks for that Wim! :)

Wim did a great job presenting on upgrading to PHP 7 and on PHPCompatibility. His talk was smooth, the topics covered were applicable, and the examples were helpful. I enjoyed the live demo. The blend of why to upgrade to PHP 7 coupled with how was an interesting perspective and added good value to the talk.

I look forward to trying out PHPCompatibility on some of my Drupal 7 modules.

Yuan's Roller-Coaster Year Undermines Global Currency Ambitions
August 11, 2016 — 7:00 AM AEST Updated on August 11, 2016 — 7:25 PM AEST
The foremost watchers of China's yuan say stability is coming at a cost.
After a year defined by last August's shock devaluation and a string of surprise yuan fixings in January, officials have reined in volatility by tightening capital controls and increasing intervention. While the measures eased outflow pressures, they also showed policy makers are willing to push back ambitions for the yuan to be an international currency.
With the yuan just weeks away from inclusion in the International Monetary Fund's basket of reserve currencies, Royal Bank of Canada says China has slowed the pace of reforms needed to make it more freely traded. The currency's share of worldwide payments has dropped to a two-year low and its persistent depreciation has reduced its appeal as an alternative to the dollar, with deposits dwindling in the biggest offshore hub of Hong Kong.
"There may come a time in the future when liberlization of the capital account and aspiring to have a reserve currency will be viable and possible, but now is not the time because we have more pressing issues than liberlization," said George Magnus, London-based senior independent economic adviser to UBS Group AG." For the moment, I think it's stability at all costs."
While the 1.9 percent one-time devaluation a year ago was aimed at making the yuan more market-driven, the move took global traders by surprise and fuelled speculation authorities were intent on driving the currency lower to boost flagging exports. Coming on the heels of a botched stock-market rescue, the lack of clarity over the shift added to criticism about Chinese regulators' handling of the nation's financial markets, and sent volatility in the yuan to a record high on Aug. 13. 2015
As outflows accelerated to reach $1 trillion in 2015, the government stepped up scrutiny of cross-border transactions and froze quotas for a program that lets individuals invest abroad. The central bank's new system for determining the yuan's fixing -- which limits currency moves to 2 percent on either side -- also appeared flexible. In the days following the yuan's plunge in August and January, the reference rate hardly moved for at least a week despite sizable swings in global foreign-exchange markets. Late last month, the PBOC appeared to defend the yuan from falling past 6.7 per dollar with stronger-than-expected fixings, according to RBC and Scotiabank.
"There is still a lack of clarity about the precise nature of China's exchange rate policy," said Sue Trinh, RBC's Hong Kong-based head of Asian foreign-exchange strategy, who was bearish on the currency before last August's plunge. "These things take time and require consistency."
Such heavy-handed measures are limiting the effectiveness of steps to broaden the global appeal of the yuan, including increased overseas access to onshore markets and extended currency trading hours. The yuan's share of global payments dropped to 1.7 percent in June, ranking the currency sixth. It's due to become the first emerging-market currency to enter the IMF's Special Drawing Rights on Oct. 1. 2015.
"Yuan internationalization was built on an unsustainable, weak foundation," said Yu Yongding, a former adviser to the PBOC, adding that it had depended on appreciation bets. "As China's monetary authority has many qualms about letting the yuan free float and the conditions aren't there for the yuan to be fully convertible under the capital account, it's inevitable that yuan internationalization should run into obstacles."
Panic Ebbs
The PBOC said in its 2016 report on yuan internationalization released Thursday that it will give markets a bigger role in setting the yuan's rate, keep it basically stable and further expand its cross-border use under the current account.
There is little sign now of the panic that beset China's currency market last summer and at the start of this year. While the yuan has continued to decline, both against the dollar and a basket of trading partners, option traders are the least bearish on the currency in almost two years, outflows have slowed and a gauge of volatility has declined to its lowest level since November. The Chinese currency was little changed Thursday at 6.6396 against the greenback.
"To be a proper reserve currency, free cross-border flows are important," said He Xin, head of China trading at Societe Generale SA in Shanghai. "At the same time, stable financial markets are also what international investors need."
Shifting Priorities
For the yuan to have a bigger global presence, foreign nations will have to accumulate yuan assets. That means China will have to run its current-account surplus down to a deficit or open its capital account -- steps the country is probably unwilling to take, according to Magnus.
There are signs opening the capital account has become less of a priority to China's leadership. In his annual report to legislators in March, Premier Li Keqiang shied away from saying the nation will increase the yuan's two-way flexibility and boost capital-account convertibility, departing from language used in the work report at last year's National People's Congress.
"When a central bank moves toward a new exchange rate regime, it will necessarily introduce some volatility, but that is how market participants learn to hedge new volatility, which eventually will bring about stability," said Victor Shih, a professor at the University of California at San Diego who studies China's politics and finance. "However, the leadership seems completely intolerant even of such transitory volatility."

What'd y'all do over the weekend? We cleaned the garage. Swept out a whole summer's worth of dust, trash, flattened geckos and dead bugs. It was a good time.
Since I started running in the mornings about a year ago part of the routine has been to move the trash cans and dismantle the pile of bicycles that inevitably build up in front of my stroller between uses in order that I may exit. I usually have at least one false start where I think I'm good to go but then realize half way out that It's no good and I'm either going to have to drive my stroller over a tricycle or launch another attack on the bike pile. Well friends, no more! The struggle has ended for I have instituted assigned parking.
my wreath. If kids are climbing up outside my front door to gnaw on my seasonal decor entirely without my knowledge I don't know how I could hope to keep the monstrous bike pile at bay without the help of Sheriff Ziz.

SAN JOSE — The Pacific Division lead might change hands dozens of times before the season ends, but knowing that the winner of Wednesday's game between the Kings and the San Jose Sharks would take over first place added a dash of tension when the teams met at SAP Center.
Finishing atop the tough division "is what we wanted to do, set out at training camp to do," Kings center Jarret Stoll said. If that goal seemed unlikely when goaltender Jonathan Quick (groin strain) joined stalwart defenseman Matt Greene (upper-body injury) and sniper Jeff Carter (foot) on the sidelines, the Kings weren't fazed.
Focusing on what they had instead of whom they lacked, the Kings took the game to overtime but lost, 3-2, in an eight-round shootout. They got one point but the Sharks earned two and passed the Ducks for the Pacific lead.
The Kings (16-6-4) are one point behind the Ducks. The Sharks (16-3-5) have 37 points in 24 games, three fewer than the Ducks have played.

Day 31 :: Uruguayan Carnaval
Pedestrian pictures of Montevideo, an early Eladio Dieste project, midnight Carnaval festivites, and another sketch.
Another day swallowed by the travails of travel. Ironically I spent more time getting to the airport than actually flying; for future reference, take the ferry from Buenos Aires to any of Uruguay's coastal towns. Driving in from the north of the city, you see the city string along the Atlantic waterfront like beads on a never ending necklace.
I got to my hostel and quickly ran to find a laundromat as I ran out of 'clean' clothes days ago (pointless minutia, but a reality of traveling). I walked around the old city center for a while and caught a lunch of, what else, meat and returned 'home' to escape the sun. As I sat in the living room of the hostel basting and sticking to my sketchbooks, the sound of something between tribal African drumming and 60's Harlem trumpets sailed into the room – later I came to learn this was the infamous Candombre music of Uruguay. More on that later.
I received a call from my friend Juan Andres of QUBO Architects/Designers and we met for a brief walk through town, dinner and drinks. On the walk home (besides getting robbed) we ran into the beginnings of the Uruguayan Carnaval – whatever its origins and justification, essentially it's kicked off with dozens of Comparsas (yes, I was excited by the parallel too) who march the streets drumming for hours at all hours of the nights, accumulating dancers, spectators and followers. In the distance the booming of dozens of hands slapping stretched hide could be heard echoing. It was quiet a sight.
Tomorrow, to Atlantida with Juan and his partners for the mecca of Eladio Dieste's work.

There is a 22 page booklet written by Clive Otway and Sean Millar in 2014 that covers the history of the buses that were operated by William White of Thames. A name that will be familiar to many old Thames families who will no doubt have had relatives who travelled on one of William White's fleet of vehicles.
The full title of the book is: William White pioneering bus & coach operator of Thames; A4 soft cover, ISBN 9780908726967. There are several 'never before seen' photographs from the White family collection. (Cover right)
Purchase details are online.
BACKGROUND: Mr White was educated at Waiokaraka School in Thames and in the early days set up a cab service around 1902. (Notice below) In 1907 White sold the cab business to Mr Meehan.
|Thames Star 10 March 1947
Then in 1914, the business was purchased by Mr Bowles, but soon after Mr White again has the business as Mr Bowles was leaving to go to the war.
The business grew until 1920 when a large concrete building was erected at the north end of Pollen Street, which would in 1947 be purchased by New Zealand Railways. A full history of the bus services are contained within the book by Otway & Millar.
Mr William White died 9 March 1947 at Remuera. The Obituary in the Thames Star 10 March 1947 heralded the amazing service given by Mr White to the town. Once the road was established to Auckland in 1924, White's provided an invaluable transport link to the city. Mr White was also a chief supporter of sport in the town, and had presented several rugby championship cups (Centennial and White cups).
Mr White's funeral took place at the St Paul's Church, and the burial at the Hillsboro Cemetery, Auckland. Mr White's obituary notice stated he was survived by three daughters (Mrs A Dovell, Mrs S Steele, and Mrs A R Johnston), and three sons (Messrs Roy and Ralph White of Auckland and Mr Leo White of Thames). William's wife Mary Ann had died 19 December 1944.

Fiona Beckett, Guardian wine columnist, multiple blogger, natural wine lover and avid Twitter user (she wears two hats there as @food_writer and @winematcher) recently wrote a post on her Matching Food and Wine blog about her surprise match of the holiday season: Jorge Ordoñez Selección Especial with simple fresh clementines. I have to say I was also surprised as it has never occurred to me to try pairing a citrus fruit with Selección Especial and so today I went out and bought some clementines.
The result was as delicious as Fiona said it would be. I have often paired Selección Especial with Málaga grapes or raisins, dried fruit and nuts, foie and also cheese with pears, but I am very pleased that Fiona dared to try the oranges. I'd have never thought of it! I wonder what she will end up pairing with Botani.

Nvidia used its stage time at CES today to talk up Tegra 2, which it's calling "the world's first mobile superchip." Nvidia's work with Tegra 2 will push the smart phone market away from single-core processors and into the realm of the dual-core. Nvidia announced the first mobile device to use its dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 chip is the LG Optimus 2X, and more Tegra-equipped devices will be popping up throughout CES.
Expect to hear the "super phone" moniker thrown around a lot more in 2011 as chips like the Tegra narrow the gap between smart phones and low-end ultraportables. Wondering what it takes to make a super phone super? It's not all about the CPU--phones like the LG Optimus 2X have some unprecedented GPU power for us to look forward to.
Nvidia made a name for itself with powerful graphics cards, which means Tegra is an unusual product for the company. It's also a welcome step for the industry that echoes moves from Intel and AMD--all three companies are paying more attention than ever to the unification of CPUs and GPUs. Between the dual-core Tegra 2 processors for super phones, AMD's Fusion APUs for laptops and desktops, and Sandy Bridge's wide range of chips with onboard graphics processing, GPUs are finally getting the love they deserve outside of high-end performance graphics cards.
Tegra 2 pairs a 1GHz processor with an 8-core ULP (ultra low-powered) GeForce GPU capable of 3D gaming and 1080p video playback without instantly sucking the life out of a battery. Nvidia claims Tegra 2 will be the first mobile chip to make cross-platform gaming a reality, an idea backed up by Dungeon Defenders. The game runs on Unreal Engine 3 and will offer cross-platform play between mobile platforms like iOS and Android and the PC.
The LG Optimus 2X houses a Tegra 2 inside, of course, with a 4" WVGA display and 8 gigs of onboard memory. It wouldn't be a super phone without expandable microSD storage and a pair of cameras (1.3 megapixel front, 8 megapixel round back) with HDMI output. The Optimus' 1500mAh battery will hopefully deliver hours of performance thanks to Nvidia's ULP chip.
More super phones are bound to be announced in the next two days. Until then, it's completely okay to geek out about the Optimus 2X and potential of Tegra 2. We won't know if Nvidia's lofty claims are the real deal until we get hands-on time with a super phone or two, but consider us officially excited about dual-core mobile chips with real GPUs.

Population: 327
Established: 1851
Famous for: A history of Gold mining established during the gold rush of 1851.
Historical Milestones: The Lucknow goldfield was discovered in 1851, soon after Australia's first payable gold was found at nearby Ophir. The entire mining area was owned by William Charles Wentworth; the gold field was known as the Wentworth Field until the name Lucknow was adopted in 1863. Peaks in gold production occurred from 1860 through to 1899 and again in the late 1920s. At its peak in the 1880s – 1890s Wentworth goldfield was one of the richest in NSW.
What you can expect now: Lucknow's gold mining heritage lives on with relics of poppet heads, mine buildings and cottages, mullock heaps and bluestone dam walls visible in and around the village. Lucknow remains a popular stopover as visitors can enjoy historic walks, relaxing meals, local vineyards and some quirky shopping.
Key events to plan for:
- Wentworth Mine Open days – open first Saturday and Sunday of the month, 10am to 2pm
Must see and do:
- Wentworth Mine Open days
- Do the historic walk
- Quirky shopping and friendly locals
- Scenic and historic drives to nearby villages and cellar doors

I've been waiting for a good take on Mat Kearney's latest song "Better Than I Used to Be" and it's finally here!
Daniel Van Horn takes on this romantic song acoustically, letting his voice do most of the heavy lifting. His voice is notable; you could imagine him doing well on a voice competition like American Idol or The Voice. It's almost got a boy-band pop quality to it - it's smooth like butter! Hope you love this cover as much as I do!

Flash Is Dimming at Direct Edge
Story Utilities
Flash trading is fading away at Direct Edge and that's a good thing, according to the ECN, which last year endured heavy criticism over its flash trading program.
Direct Edge says the decline in its Enhanced Liquidity Provider (ELP) program, which involves flashing quotes to a select group of traders, is due to the rise in its market share, not because of customers snubbing the service due to the controversy. As more liquidity builds up on its books, more orders get executed and fewer enter the flash process, a Direct Edge spokesperson said.
"More liquidity and a higher match rate on our books means less chance for an ELP execution," the executive said. "Our match rate has soared since March, from 60 percent to over 70 percent. Thus, the drop in ELP is not a surprise."
The dwindling amount of shares through the ELP service was evident in December, when less than 5 percent of Direct Edge's volume was executed that way. That compares to more than 15 percent in December 2008. In absolute terms, Direct Edge executed just 52 million shares via the ELP program in December, down from 169 million in December 2008. The peak was 201 million shares, in March 2009.
Still, the ECN is protesting the SEC's move to ban flash trading. "The positive aspects of flash technology have been understated," Direct Edge told the regulator in a letter, "[and] the concerns have generally been overstated and under-supported." Direct Edge's market share peaked in August at 12.9 percent.
