It always smelled like butter and sugar at Grandma's house.
"It didn't matter — she could be making spaghetti, but it would always smell like butter and sugar," Tie Whittaker, founder of Buttermilk Boutique, says. "And there was always a cake on the counter."
Now that her grandmother and her great-grandmother have passed away, it's moments like these, in the kitchen together, that Whittaker holds close to her heart: crimping piecrusts together. Creaming butter and sugar. Licking the beaters real clean.
Today, Whittaker keeps the matriarchs' memories, and their recipes, alive through Buttermilk Boutique, her Clayton-based pastry business that focuses on fine Southern pastries and confections using locally sourced ingredients. Our State sat down with Whittaker to learn more about why family is essential to the success of her business, and how one homegrown business can shape a community.
• • •
OS: Where did you get your passion for baking?
Whittaker: That started before I could reach the stove. My grandmother and great-grandmother were both phenomenal bakers, so growing up and being in the kitchen with them is really where I got my start. Baking always seemed so effortless for them, even if they were trying something new. It just came naturally to them, and they loved it. They baked for everyone and used their baked goods to show people they loved them and supported them.
OS: As a baker, what skills and techniques do you try to emulate from watching your grandmother in the kitchen?
Whittaker: When I first learned how to bake, I relied a lot on books because I didn't have that confidence, but for my grandmother it was just so effortless. She would add vanilla, taste the dough, and know if it needed more. Or she'd taste it, and if it didn't have enough sugar, she'd add a bit more sugar, or maybe we needed a bit more salt. I watched, and I couldn't wait to get to the point where I could think like that: maybe it doesn't come out perfect, but just to have that confidence to add a little more or take something away.
OS: Your roots as a baker are in traditional, Southern desserts; however, you have also earned a master's degree in gastronomy, studied abroad, and worked in a number of professional kitchens. How do those experiences come together under the Buttermilk Boutique brand of "Southern flavors with a fine pastry twist"?
Whittaker: Buttermilk pie was the first pastry I learned to make. It was the foundation for everything my grandmother did, so I thought it was a good place to start. But I'm not just a Southern girl who only knows about sweet potatoes and other Southern foods. I like to add different flavors from my time in India and Germany, and from my experiences in the culinary world.
OS: In 2014 you left your job as the pastry sous chef at the Carolina Country Club to focus on Buttermilk Boutique. What was going through your mind when you made the decision to become an entrepreneur?
Whittaker: The biggest thing was knowing I could create the same things that I was making at the Carolina Country Club, but on my own terms. I wanted something not just for myself, but for my family. I had gotten all of the experience I thought I was going to get from someone who could teach me. I think the rest has to come from your own ambition, drive, and desire to know more and learn more. It's important to experiment with flavors on your own instead of waiting for someone else to teach you or show them to you. So I thought, It's time. I've gotten to know the basics, and now it's time.
OS: A quick scroll through your Instagram page shows the diversity of products you can create, from wedding cakes to homemade marshmallows to pistachio crème brûlée. What are some favorite desserts that you've created?
Whittaker: Chocolates and truffles are my specialty. Chocolate is a wonderful medium for both sweet and savory things, so that really opens up the opportunities for what you can pair together and create in terms of chocolates, truffles, and confections. But then there are also the simple-but-beautiful — red velvet croissants with cream-cheese custard, sweet potato babka, purple sweet potato pie. Those are beautiful to me because they're flavors from my childhood that can be transformed into something modern. It's a little bit of nostalgia, with a little bit of modern technique.
OS: Baking has changed a lot since your great-grandmother and grandmother started doing it. How have advancements in baking technology allowed you to grow Buttermilk Boutique?
Whittaker: As a baker, electricity is vital, because it allows me to expand baking from a passion into a business. Making pastries is an old art form that used to always require hands-on, time-consuming attention. By using modern electric tools, like my stand mixer, baking is now something I can do more quickly, so I can do more of what I love to do.
OS: As a home-based business, some might expect Buttermilk Boutique's next step to be opening a brick-and-mortar location, but you're not so sure. Why is that?
Whittaker: I'm at a crossroads, because I love Clayton and its small-town charm, and I think a brick-and-mortar here would be something that I'd want. A lot of folks have told me that they need someone like me; we don't have a lot of fine bakeries around here, so I think that would be great for the Clayton community. But then I also want my family to be road warriors; I feel like you rarely see pastry food trucks, and my traveling spirit won't let me be still for too long. I like the idea of having something mobile that can go place to place and spread the word of Buttermilk Boutique — maybe there's potential for a brick-and-mortar location with the pastry food truck out back!
OS: While home-based business owners face some challenges, running your own business is also an exciting and empowering experience. What do you get most excited about during day-to-day life at Buttermilk Boutique?
Whittaker: It's when I'm in the final stages of completing a big wedding cake, birthday cake, or any pastry that takes fine detail. It's like winning the lottery. When a client comes to me with a grandiose idea, I say, yes, and a part of me in the back of my mind is like, "Oh, can you really?" And then when I do, it's like "Yes, I can!" Then it feels like I can do anything. So, if you can imagine that each time you complete a cake, that's what it feels like — like I nailed that picture, or I nailed that flower she wanted, or that color is spot-on. It feels good.

Dead Uncle's Prison Boyfriend
by Chad Haines
One of the first interesting things I discovered in my dead uncle's bedroom was a framed photograph of his prison boyfriend. It was only interesting in that is was a bit faded and too small for the frame. I didn't think much of the wallet size photo of a shirtless, tattooed inmate sitting in a 5x7 frame until I absent-mindedly flipped the frame over and noticed my high school senior picture tucked away perfectly in the back of it.
What a dick. If he wasn't dead I'd slug him. My uncle just died from bone cancer. He had been sick for years. First with HIV, then he was hospitalized for a pulmonary embolism and they somehow discovered prostate cancer. Over the past few months it had spread to his bones and his doctors decided to stop with the chemo and start with the hospice.
My uncle lived with HIV and cancer while simultaneously living with my 84 year old gramma. It was good that they were there to look after one another, but to quote Norman Bates "a son is a poor substitute for a lover". And vice versa. My uncle's motley assortment of constant companions no doubt destroyed his romantic life and created a void filled with loneliness.
Now that he has finally passed he has left all his pain behind him and a mess for me to clean up. So here I am, with my cousin John, cleaning up our uncle's bedroom because our 84 year old gramma cannot. That's when we discovered a crumpled old ad my uncle had tucked away that offered the altruistic opportunity to write to prisoners. The whole family was aware of his locked-up boyfriend and none of us were terribly supportive because it all seemed a little strange.
We didn't know how my uncle had come into contact with a convicted armed robber from another state, but we suspected my poor uncle was being swindled somehow.
Now we knew. My uncle had come across an ad on the internet to become pen pals with an inmate. Don't think for a second that I didn't immediately pull this site up on my phone. The website allows you to search inmate profiles based on age, sexual orientation, and religious beliefs. Like a very sad version of a very awkward dating website.
I'm sure that many inmates honestly just want someone to write to. But I can't shake this nagging image in my head of a small group of prisoners huddled together. One of them telling the others how great a racket this pen pal thing is. You find someone lonely and willing to give them things and milk them for all you can!
I glanced again at the prison boyfriend's picture set back on the bedside table before I started going through piles of papers and dirty laundry on the floor. Unopened bills, bottles of expired medications, a collection of well-used carpenters cds, and an ever growing pile of correspondence from prison. We began a pile dedicated solely to prison love letters with hearts and initials sloppily scribbled all over the envelopes.
Once the floor was cleared off we went to work on the dresser drawers. That's where we found the Western Union receipts. Stuffed at the bottom of his underwear drawer where everyone keeps their shameful possessions my uncle filed away his evidence that over the years he had given tens of thousands of dollars to his prison boyfriend. What does an inmate need this much money for? Can't he just trade romance for cigarettes like everyone else in prison? My uncle has been living on disability with my 84 year old gramma who is living on her social security. They're no strangers to having their utilities shut off because they can't pay all of their bills.
Now I'm angry at my uncle. How can he be so stupid? Was he really that lonely that a few letters are worth living in poverty? That he was willing to let his mother live in poverty?
After the room was finally clean we finally sat down and casually took up the collection of love letters. They all contained the same basic formula. "I love you," "It's lonely in here," "thank God for your letters," and then finally a page of "I need..."
The prison boyfriend needed shoes, shirts (want to know which kind? Because he included catalogue clippings), lawyers fees, money on his commissary, money to send his sister to pay her cell phone bill . . .
The list goes on and on.
How is this scam allowed to continue?
My phone just buzzed in my pocket. My godfather, Bug is giving me suggestions for scripture to read at my uncle's memorial. How can I think clearly about a mourning the dead when I'm too busy mourning his damaging decisions?
I found out from from cousin John that another love letter just came in the mail. My uncle was dead and he's still getting requests for money. This time for a new pair of shoes for the prison boyfriend to wear to the gym.
I'm angry at my uncle for giving me a reason to be angry when I should be sad. I'm angry at myself for not ensuring that my family felt loved enough to not seek attention from a strange convict. I hope this prison boyfriend is getting poked with a toilet brush by a large cell-mate named "Hump."
Screw it. I'm telling everyone I know how much I value them. But first I'm putting my senior picture back in that frame.
Chad Haines is a small town farm boy who grew up working with animals and not much else. His late introduction to social skills has rendered him with an awkward and somewhat unfiltered way of expressing himself. Keeping this in mind it was necessary for him to quickly develop a sense of humor in his delivery, lest he say the wrong thing to the wrong person and is summarily beaten to death with a rusty piece of farm equipment. He has two degrees in biology and a pet tarantula named Juliana. If you would like to criticize his life choices you can contact his mother directly in Denver, Colorado.

Comrade Menendez faces the Gulag
Even if you are a Party apparatchik. Especially if you are a Party apparatchik.
This man is getting off easy. Never forget what happened to Comrade Trotsky.
Menendez: No, no. Never, never. He was a smashing bloke. He used to give his mother flowers and that. He was like a brother to me.
Interviewer: But the police have film of Obama actually nailing your head to the floor.
Menendez: Oh yeah, well - he did that, yeah.
Interviewer: Why?
Menendez: Well he had to, didn't he? I mean, be fair, there was nothing else he could do. I mean, I had transgressed the unwritten law.
Interviewer: What had you done?
Menendez: Er ... well ... he never told me that. But he gave me his word that it was the case, and that's good enough for me. I mean, he didn't want to nail my head to the floor. I had to insist.

So we know that he is guilty of something. With all the laws and surveillance here in the Motherland, we are all guilty of something. No one is innocent; any one of us can be "disappeared" in the middle of the night.
This man criticized Dear Leader. In public. You don't do that in a
Remember that they've been watching you, too, Comrade. You don't want to attract their attention, because they have plenty of evidence against you for a Show Trial, just as they have all the evidence they need against ALL of us. So keep your head down, and try not to see or hear or know anything.
I believe I hear Commissarka Pinkie coming. Look busy, and try not to think.
.... He'll skate, though, because the GOP in Congress are a bunch of limp jellyfish for the most part....
I agree about the "limp jellyfish" part, but I doubt that Menendez will skate. Remember, the RINO establishment exists to serve the Demokrat Party. I strongly believe that the gloves will be taken off during any committee hearings and Menendez will be made an example of. His fate is sealed.
The RINO establishment is known for its showmanship to appease the conservative voting base, but in the end, betray it and give in to Demokrats' agenda.
Look at the Netanyahu speech before kongress, for example. In all probability, a deal was cut between Obozo and Boehner over this. After the speech, Obozo and high party Demokrat officals would pretend to be outraged and put on a show. The media would take shots at Netanyahu and Republikans. The conservative base would get some red meat and proclaim Boehner a hero. Later on that day, during the celebrations over the speech and Boehner's heroism, Republikans quietly voted for a DHS funding bill and Obozo got what he wanted. More importantly, the donor klass got what they wanted. The media looked the other way so the Republikans could get away with it. RINO establishment treachery is most remarkable.
You're a man after my own heart! I find your posts both moving and tough. I really like what you have to say and I think you deserve more credit for that.
I love my other Comrades' posts as well but, there is something you offer that deserves special attention. You have mine.
I have said this before and I'm saying it again. Kommissar Trashmouth sounds good to me.
He thought he would be able to see others fry before he plea bargained his way out.
It appears he has stepped in it big time.

Well, aren't we lucky that we have such a useful Dear Leader, then.

November 15, 2002
Jeff Sakson
VP Publicity
Universal Pictures
100 Universal City Plaza, Bldg. 2160
Universal City, CA 91608
Dear Jeff,
Thanks for your quick and detailed response to my letter and also your continued support in our efforts to find a resolution.
Your description of our action being "an extreme rush to judgment" stems from several things, which should not be construed as "extreme" or "rushed". An advocacy group such as ourselves always find it better to alert our concerns to a project before they commence production. We gather our information from trade articles announcing the cast and impending production and also reports from various sources. Based on this, we voiced our concerns, which was stated in the previous letter. So if your movie actually contains Jin Auyeung, an Asian American male, why was he not mentioned in any of the articles? We suspect it's because you never included him in the press release. Plus, you probably hired him after our conversation. Was he announced in your press release? If not will you put out one? Also, when was he hired? After our conversation? Maybe if Universal promoted Rick Yun's involvement in the original by mentioning his name in the trailers. Maybe if his face and name was on the poster – a poster that featured little known Jordana Brewster. Maybe if Rick's character was more developed and had a smidgen of any redeemable quality. Maybe if one of the, drag racers, partiers, or even the mechanics was an Asian American Male. Maybe if the creators of the original did not rest on their laurels and thought, "Hey we got Asian guys with guns on bikes – that should clearly represent Asian American's involvement in the import car scene." Maybe if just one of these incidents happened, we would not be so extreme this time around.
Also, let me respond to some of the other points you made in you letter:
Your claim to never agree to arrange a meeting with John Singleton is confusing as I recall you did – and I will stand by it. Plus, you never voiced any invitation for us to call the director John Singleton ourselves. Instead it was always agreed that we should go through Universal. We have the relationship with Universal and we wanted your company's cooperation.
In regards to the Asian American presence in the sequel, I never used the word preponderance. I also did not justify the need to have Asian Americans by stating any population fact about the city of Miami – YOU DID. You keep telling us that the reason why there is less of an Asian American presence in the sequel is because Asians Americans only make up 1.4 percent of Miami's population. If that's the case this movie will feature Latinos in more than half of the roles and extras as Hispanic and Latino represent 57.3 percent of Miami's population. Will it? Instead, what we are trying to get across is simply this: You go any car culture event in Miami, you go to the Miami car culture websites, you make a quick call to the top three car clubs in Miami (Sinister, Mock 5, and Jade). I guarantee the number of Asian American males will definitely be more than 1.4 percent. Asian Americans made the car culture what it is today and the original did not reflect this. Will the sequel?
As for Devon Aoki and Jin Auyeung, because you had the privilege of reading the script and we didn't, we pose the following questions to you: Is Devon's role not mere window dressing and stereotyped? Can you say with confidence that her role will not further the exotification of Asian American women as foreign sex objects? Is she cleverly drawn out and dimensional, or is she someone there to provide a visual short hand to the audience that she is unique in a white man's eyes and just by looks alone Brian O'Connor can't refuse to have sex with her. Do they have anything beyond a sexual relationship. Will casting Jin Auyeung make up for the absence of Rick Yun and his gang plus clearly show the contributions Asian Americans made to this world? Will his on screen time match or better that of Rick? Is he dimensional? Does he have any redeemable qualities (like how Vin was a bad guy but was heroic and honorable). Will you do better in promoting these two than you did with Rick? In other words: quality not quantity. A Pasadena Weekly article warns readers of "Asians driving supped up Honda" and blames them for the rise of crime and murders. This is what happens if we do not show that Asian Americans can like cars and racing and can be heroic and honorable. Will your movie help us combat this stereotype? If your answers are positive and turn out to be true, I will publicly give the biggest Mia Culpa to this movie and help promote it to the Asian American/Car Culture community.
Finally, one of the most important point from our letter that you fail to respond to. Will you let us see the script and screen a preliminary cut? The facts you detailed still does not satisfy that you've done everything to be sensitive to the importance of including Asian Americans but more importantly how they are depicted.
Thank you for your time and we look forward to your response.

log file attached.....running AC3.3.1 on Pix, was in loiter then guided mode just hovering at 5m for a while, all good, then sent the land command thru GCS and it just accelerated wildly to the right eventually ramming into my car and then into the ground, GPS masts broken, broken arm and motor mount, and nice gash on my car's door....
what the heck is Err: 0-44 mean? never seen that before but it happned just before I issued the land cmd, I dont see any mechanical issues and thou it appears there is some EKF issue right after the Err: 0-44 I dont see any specific EKF error
Randy or Leornard? please help! thanks

Don't use Loiter because that does use GPS, use Altitude Hold or Stabilize.
As the copter lowers to the ground the GPS signal coming from the satellite bounces off your roof line and will cause position error. If the error is towards your house the copter will correct for that by moving away from your house.
When this glitch happens it's very fast and I have seen my GPS position change by several hundred meters in less than a second. The copter will fly horizontally very fast in the opposite direction of the error.
I was only 1 meter from the ground in Stabilize in front of my garage just playing around when the battery failsafe kicked in unexpectedly and my copter went dead left into my car which was 10 meters away.
You're right, loiter does use GPS. I just use it to get it close & when it's near the obstacle I switch it to alt hold to land. There's no warning & there's nothing you can do once it decides to veer off. It's just lost some sat communication for the horizontal accuracy.
I remember before EKF , when INS was used there was GPS glitch protection. If the GPS had a sudden change that couldn't be real due to outrageous accelerations that would be required, the loiter controller would just reset to the new wrong position. This was introduced to prevent this exact type of fly away condition. This was dropped when EKF was introduced. I thought the EKF was supposed to handle GPS glitches making the simple glitch protection no longer necessary ? I have seen some pretty serious GPS glitches while connected on the bench. Lucky for me I never had one in the air. I have been landing in RTL or Loiter mode mostly within ~ 10 meters of me. If GPS glitches are back I will have to rethink my landing procedure and only use Alt Hold or Stabilize.
is this reaction a result of the 'new' EKF filters in 3.3x?, or has that always existed in the algorithm?
It is surprising to me, as I have a M8N on one of my PixHawks, and since reading your post on Thursday, I have been watching the GPS status on my bench. It does fluctuate Sat locks. . . dropping from 1 or 2 in a 5 minute interval, to an occasional drop of 3 or 4 Sats.
Will we possibly see this reaction in 'land', 'loiter', and 'RTL' modes below, say, 30' AGL?
Should we be, as suggested below, landing only in non-GPS modes?
what the heck is Err: 0-44 mean?
I only see ERR, 1048373268, 12, 1 which means crash detected in your log. I used APM Planner 2.0 to look at the log
Interestingly looking at the param you have set for the copter you have for glitch protection
The defaults in the code for Copter3.3.1 are link
And the master (3.4) they have been lowered to 100 and 15 respectively.
Would be interesting to play back the recorded data and see if the new params trigger glitch detection in the EKF.
Do you have an idea why your params are set larger than the defaults?
PS: I'll have more of look later, run out of time for now!
i am not convinced is a GPS issue honestly...my M8N fluctuates between 15-20 sats in the air and it has never been an issue, I didnt see any different behaviour when this crash happened, my EKF filter is also on the "relaxed" setting, but I didnt even get an EKF error
i for one wont be landing auto for a long time until this is all sorted out!
thanks Bill, glad you are helping.
I recall changing those parameters in july I think when I had a GPS glitch and by recommendations that the larger GLITCH radius would tolerate a larger GPS discrepancy thus handling a longer glitch, and the ACCELL was default at 350 back then and it was suggested to bring it down to 250 to reduce sudden jerks in acceleration during position changes using 2 GPS (I use 2 GPS)
how do i play back the data using different parameters? that sounds very cool....I use SITL but no expert with it
i see it in MP....Leonard indicated it could be a log parsing error or something, not a real error
I don't think it's a glitch, I think it's # of sat's. The RTL holds vertical & horizontal, it hovers for a sec while it finds the horizontal. It gets confused if something blocks it. I also think it claims 10 meters of accuracy, and it does a really good job in an open space. My RTL, if I'm all calibrated, will land less than a foot from where it took off.
The way I look at it is like an airplane autopilot GPS. It'll take you down to 200' before you have to land the plane. They're pretty accurate, but for a landing near objects you have to remember it's a signal from the satellite that's not going to cut through a building, tree, hillside or other obstacle.
hi all, i think i found the problem.....I run 2 GPS, and N8M and a 6M....for the duration of the flight the copter was tracking to GPS1 (N8M) but then suddenly (and for no apparent reason) you can clearly see right before the LAND command that the copter switches over to GPS2 (6M), am pretty sure this likely caused the drift in position...and the crash
however the question remains, why did AC switch GPSs when there is no apparent reason? the HDOP was much lower on GPS1 than GPS2 the entire time, my understanding is it should only switch GPS if the primary HDOP becomes higher than secondary, I have also heard conflicting reports about using or not using 2nd GPS.....I did thoroughly tested the GPS switch function a few months ago (by receiver activated switch, shutting off the primary GPS in flight) and yes there were similar changes in position as what happened during the crash land.
Is running 2 GPS not recommended? are there issues with it such as this sudden and unexpected change in GPS?
I don't think using 2nd GPS units is recommended at this time for the exact issue you have mentioned due to handover to the second reporting a slightly different position.

BBC Good Food
UK's #1 food site chooses Whisk for shopping lists and eCommerce
In June 2017, BBC Good Food joined Whisk's list of recipe publishers. They chose Whisk because of it's integration simplicity, data accuracy, analytic insight, combined with Whisk's ability to link to grocers in other markets and add additional revenue opportunities using WhiskAds.
BBC GoodFood was one of the first recipe sites to realise the value of connecting recipes to store lists. As the largest recipe site in the UK and with strong global reach, migrating to a new platform was a big risk. They needed a partner & technology they could trust.
BBC Food Food chose Whisk to create a seamless offline and online shopping list solution that could open new revenue streams using Whisk's advertising platform.
The strength of the Whisk analytics and reporting will improve insights and advertising opportunities for BBC GoodFood and their partners.
- Integration completed within 4 weeks from start to finish with stores connected in the UK, Australia and US.
- Worked with Immediate Media, BBC GF's sales house, with successful sales within 2 months of launch.
BBC Good Food is published by BBC Worldwide and is the UK's #1 site.
Immediate is the special interest content and platform company who act as the sales house for BBC Good Food in the UK.
"Whisk was super easy to integrate. Our dev team simply added one line of code. We could then test Whisk across the site and see exactly how it would work with our content. Once we were ready to go live – one click and the shopping list became visible across all recipes."
— Jeff Bannister, Agile Project Manager. BBC Good Food

History is packed with predictions of the future that proved hilariously inaccurate but just how close are we getting to becoming a society where cosmetic and utility based implants are as common place as tattoos?
First off what is a Cyborg? Well according to the the writer Manfred Clynes and scientist Nathan S. Kline, it is a being with both organic and biomechatronic body parts, the term being first coined in an issue of Astronautics Magazine about the advantages of self-regulating human-machine systems in outer space. Now that's a pretty loose definition which could lead you to calling anyone with a heart pacemaker or a cochlear ear implant a Cyborg – which we really don't do. Instead when we use the term we're generally referring to someone along these lines, if we we're feeling cheerful
and these lines if we're not
Both of which are well beyond what we can currently do. If we look at the real world I think we can divide prosthetic into two groups, those that are designed to replicate natural functions of the body and those that are not. In the first category I would include the likes of cochlear ear implants and artificial limbs. These, from what I follow, are working towards being both functional and discrete; currently however even the very best of these are inferior to their natural counter parts, as are those that are currently under development. Not only do these artificial parts have to interface with our nerve-endings – something that even the best do imperfectly – but also need an external power source. So thus far their use is limited to individuals who's organic parts have failed or are failing due to illness, injury or birth defect. It's tempting to say we'll figure these things out sooner or later but I think you can reasonably say that there is one significant threat to this version of the future, which comes in the form of another sci-fi staple – cloning.
Again, from what I follow, the science of cloning is making steady progress. The real holy grail is how to take cells from a subject and make them turn into stem cells; if that can be done, then they can be changed into any other kind of cell. This would certainly open the door to growing replacement parts, ones that unlike current transplants would avoid the need for anti-rejection drugs or separate power supplies. This seems to be a technology that more a case of when will it be developed rather than if. So if prosthetics that replicate natural functions are a technological way-station or possibly dead-end, what about ones that are designed to do things that are not within the natural capabilities of humans?
Now I'm probably not the right person to try to answer this kind of question since a relative described me once as an inverse techno snob, that said I wear glasses, a watch and usually have a smart phone upon my person (although the Wifi and data options are switched off most of the time). There are those however who live and breath technology, for some it is a necessity of their jobs, for others it is a question of image – look at the publicity the surrounds the launch of each new I-Phone. Also the concept of body modifications in the form of tattoos, piercings etc go back to the very dawn of our species. So will there be a market for built in mobile phones, glow in the dark tattoos or whatever?
For that kind of thing on a mass market level I personally I doubt it. Now for anyone coming across this blog in ten or twenty years time who is considering laughing at my Luddite lack of imagination, then I refer you back to the very first line of this blog.
The reason I doubt it is skill level required for implantation, recovery time and infection. Odds are you've read about or heard of someone having difficulties caused by a piercing or tattoo. The more invasive the nature of the surgery needed the higher the skill needed to perform the surgery and greater the risk. There will be a rehab and learning period for the next implant which is hard to see as being compatible with our current product life cycle where phones and their like are expected to have a lifespan of a couple of years. Unless medical technology in terms of surgery becomes a lot easier and cheaper, cost and potential legal liability are going to make mass implant of technology difficult.
However as I wrote this blog I was reminded something in one of the Red Dwarf novels, there was a one line reference to individuals having a sort of built in encyclopedia. An interesting idea, a kind of internal data hub into which all human knowledge could be placed, ready to be accessed at any time or place. Arguably in the age of the internet it's already an obsolete concept but the internet includes so much that is either wrong or difficult find. A sort of Encyclopedia Britannica might mean every person has reliable information on every topic reality to hand at any moment.
Where utility implants might really become common or even simply necessary is in environments that the standard human can not operate in, which going back to the first paragraph: 'advantages of self-regulating human-machine systems in outer space'. We can definitely say that space is an environment in which humans do not operate very easily. Keeping a human alive moment to moment is tricky enough but over longer term periods we sort of degrade. If we found ourselves with permanent space societies it might be the one environment where replacement of healthy tissue with mechanical parts could be justified. Again this depends on how other technologies develop and whether utility implants can offer enough utility to offset the complications. Quite how society would view cyborgs could be another limiting factor, could it become something to aspire to, adopted by those who are seen as being at the social peak or undesirable if it becomes a mark of the lower social/economic groups.
It is worth noting among those complications is system security. In recent years it has been discovered that a number of existing medical implants (pacemakers, insulin pumps etc) are potentially vulnerable to unauthorised access. Having your bank account accessed can be a major problem but that would be nothing compared to having parts of your body turned off or a months worth of insulin dumped into your system at once. Some science fiction has brushed across this and it is reasonable to assume the more common implanted technology is, the more of a problem this is like to be.
So to conclude things, this had been fairly brief run through of the issues of Cyborgs, the original question was 'Is sci-fi without Cyborgs inherently unrealistic?' and my answer is a solid No. There are inherently a lot of practical problems that go with it, now the higher the technology level of society as a whole, the less those problems might matter but that same technological advancement could render it it obsolete as a concept. Basically what I'm saying is that is becomes a question of personal taste for the reader. While for the writer it becomes a question of good world building and making sure it fits logically within the setting. At this point in time a world without cyborgs is just as possible as one where we all are.

Commercial Branding Through Renovation
Incorporate your branding and culture through a commercial building renovation. These types of projects are some of the most memorable projects that they have worked on, such as the conversion of a church into a brewery, the design and construction of a winery tasting bar, a restaurant makeover, and a storefront update.
Tackling Unique Commercial Projects
Queen Street Carpentry offers commercial renovation services with results that they are proud of. They attract dream projects from around Niagara: one of them was converting a church into a brewery. Jake and his team coordinated with the owners and designers to execute their combined vision for the space and were able to maintain the vintage feel and look with seamless finish carpentry.
Through creative problem solving they incorporated various installations including a bar, an awning, and structural framing to preserve the vintage elements of the church brewery. Jake and his team are willing to take on the challenges and unique aspects of a wide variety of commercial building projects. For the church brewery they created a 12 x 30 foot suspended awning for a stunning focal point that also blended with the integrity of the building.
Adapting Designs to Commercial Space
The commercial brewery renovation was an ongoing project where Jake and his team were in dialogue with the brewery owners, and the plans for the building evolved throughout the construction process. Jake and his team adapted custom work to suit the needs of the business and to complement the building.
Connect with Queen Street Carpentry to receive an assessment of your space, whether it be a café, office interior, or commercial kitchen and showcase your company's style through personalized woodwork.
Jake Elstone, in addition to doing exceptional work, is a pleasure to work with. Patient and understanding, Jake approached our project with an open mind and an eagerness to help build the most beautiful work possible. Tidy and timely, Jake arrived when he said he would and always left the job site organized and clean. Thanks for your excellent work Jake!

Today I will run my first 5K race. I started jogging on January 4th, about five and a half months ago. I began with a Couch To 5K program using an app on my iPhone. The first few times I alternated jogging for 60 seconds and walking for 90 seconds. Each week, the Couch To 5K program helped me lengthen the amount of time I was jogging. Right now, I am not quite up to a full 5K in training. My plan is to do a jog/walk starting with at least a half mile or more of jogging followed by walking the remainder of the first mile. For the second mile, my goal is to jog the entire mile without any walk breaks. That might be a challenge since I've never done a full mile without walking in my training. But I've come very close and I feel like this is a great opportunity to challenge and push myself just a little bit extra. Next, I plan to walk for about a half mile and then finish the last half mile jogging. This 5K is at the Cleveland Zoo which is known for having a pretty challenging hill. Yikes! I've never run hills before.
To prepare for the 5K, I've made sure to get a good night's sleep for the past two nights and I've been careful to eat healthy food that will not make me feel weighed down. I've done a little research and I've planned a smart breakfast for The Fella and me: Half an english muffin with half of a Tablespoon peanut butter and a banana. I'm also going to drink water before the race and I'm choosing to carry a bottle of water that is half frozen during the race. A lot of people hate the idea of carrying something while running. But I recently found out that I have problematic vocal cords and sipping water when my throat is dry or when I am feeling tense is a good way to keep my airways clear. I've carried water in training the past few times and I've found that I really don't mind it and on hot days (like today) I really need it.
The 5K I am doing today is the Purple Stride race to raise money for pancreatic cancer research. I lost my grandfather to pancreatic cancer and The Fella's dad is currently battling it. We also lost the father of a very close friend to the disease just over three years ago. I feel good about participating in this event. For more information, please check out http://www.pancan.org/.
I'll be sure to post an update after the race to let you know how I fared.

Miller Scores Big Quarter
ZEELAND — Profitability at Herman Miller Inc. continues to skyrocket, as the fast-growing furniture maker last week reported a 33.3 percent increase in net earnings for the third quarter ending March 4 over the year-ago period.
A jump of $22.4 million from $16.8 million, the bottom-line gain was joined by double digit growth in sales (10.9 percent), orders (16.6 percent) and backlog (11.9 percent). Sales grew to $424 million.
The company's ending cash balance buoyed to $106.9 million. Gross margins improved 12.2 percent to 32.5 percent.
In the coming quarter, the company is looking forward to several new product launches, said CFO Elizabeth Nickels. At June's NeoCon, Herman Miller will showcase two new systems product solutions, a new executive chair from Geiger, and both new and reissued designs from Herman Miller for the Home.
The company projected sales for the fourth quarter to be in a range of $430 million to $450 million, representing a 6 percent to 10 percent increase.

Playing with huge natural boobs and insert red toy it to pink pussy
Official site : http://cassandracalogera.com/
When Cassandra was in college, she starred in several porn videos on the famous site Brazzers (Review Brazzers). And not to be distracted from school to fuck her right in the classroom. Her huge soft breasts attracted the attention of not only students but also teachers.
Black short skirt and very short topic barely covering the big natural tits Cassandra Calogera. She squeezes her tits hands and then throws them out of the topic. Large pink nipples stick out excitedly. She fucks a guy with a hard big cock in the mouth and pussy. And most of all it is fun titfuking.
Continue reading
Model Name: Cassandra
Description: Cassandra has some huge boobs! This teen loves to caress her gigantic breast and play with her favorite toy the infamous rabbit. Watch as Cassandra makes herself cum and grabs handfuls of her big breasts!

Hopkins Valley region summary. Exceeding the Aoraki Mt. Cook area for new routes, this accessible area continues to receive attention from a handful of motivated climbers. In the 2004 New Zealand Alpine Journal (NZAJ) Ross Cullen (guidebook author, and one of the area's leading first ascentionists) reported 20-plus new climbs in 12 months.
In May Paul Hersey and Mat Woods climbed the 500-meter rock route Tenderfoot, Grade 3, rock crux 13 (5.6), on Mt. Glen Lyon (2,050m) at the toe of the Neumann Range. The wall features some nice climbing with sections of good rock broken by ledges.
Later in the year a second route was added. Late Bloomer, by Mat Woods and Dave Morgan tackles more difficult ground, with a crux of 17 (5.9) and an overall grade of 4-.
In the Dobson Valley, Kynan Bazley and Yew-jin Tan made the first ascent of the east face of Mt. Glencairn (2,499m) via Hidden Treasures, Grade 15 (5.8), overall 3-. The route started from Sutherland Stream.
Ross Cullen and Bill McLeod once again teamed up for some new route exploration and after fishing around in the South Branch of the South Temple Valley the duo discoved and named the Salmon Slabs. This salmon-hued stretch of greywacke now has four multi-pitch routes up to grade 17.
The most notable first ascent of the winter was a new line on the southeast face of Mt. Ward (2,645m), North Elcho Valley, climbed in late August by Kynan Bazely and Paul Hersey. The route, named Great Dane, is a 12-pitch ice climb with an overall grade of 5-. Prior to this ascent the face had not seen a pair of ice tools for 23 years!
A handful of new ice routes were climbed at Bush Stream and a few other areas were explored for ice climbing potential.
This summer saw the Cullen-McLeod team active again on the Grasshopper Wall, Peak 2,070m, with the first ascent of Knees Up—grade 16 (5.8/5.9), nine pitches.
In the North Branch of the Huxley River James Edwards and Oliver Metherell made the first recorded ascent of Peak 2,072m, the 500-meter route is called Matinee.
A number of other climbers were active, completing new routes and repeating existing climbs.

Violence struck again last night, this time in Dallas, Texas following a peaceful protest for the killing of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. With shots ringing off near 9 p.m., crowds scrambled resulting in 5 dead police officers and one dead subject, 25-year-old Micah Xavier Johnson. The events ended in a Dallas parking garage where a police bomb robot was detonated near the subject causing his death.
"We saw no other option but to use our bomb robot and place a device on its extension for it to detonate where the suspect was," said Dallas Police Chief David Brown. "Other options would have exposed our officers to great danger." Brown also went on to say that these actions were taken after a long standoff with police in which Johnson told negotiators he was angry over Black Lives Matter and was mad at white people.
While Federal Law Enforcement believe Johnson was the lone shooter in the attacks they are still looking to answer key questions about the events that transpired. Along with the five officers that were killed, 7 others were shot as well as 2 civilians in what is being described as a sniper attack.
Of those slain was Patrick Zamarripa, a father of two who was remembered via social media posts from his family and friends. Brent Thompson, 43, was also killed. He served as a Dallas Area Rapid Transit Officer, the first DART officer to be killed in the line of duty. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the 5 officers who were killed as well as the 9 others who were injured.
We will continue to update you as more information becomes available.

Welcome to the 9th part in our series of troubleshooting articles dedicated to the Apple iPhone 6. This is one of the latest models released by the company in September of last year. Aside from getting a hardware upgrade from the previous model its most notable feature is its large 4.7 inch display. This is a huge difference over the 4 inch display of the iPhone 5.
This model which is running on the latest iOS 8 software generally works well. There are however instances when issues appear. This is quite normal for any electronic equipment. We are here to help our readers resolve these issues.
In this latest installment of the series we will tackle some of the latest issues and problems that owners of this device are facing. Most iPhone models don't really that have much of an issue and if ever one does occur, a simple reboot will usually fix the issue.
If you own an iPhone 6 or any other iPhone model for that matter then feel free to send us an email at [email protected] regarding any issues you are facing with your phone. We will be more than happy to help you with that. This is a free service we are offering with no strings attached. We however ask that when you do send us an email try to be as detailed as possible so that an accurate assessment can be made and the correct solution can be given to you.
iPhone 6 Not Receiving Text Messages
Problem: I am having a problem receiving text messages from almost anyone. Oddly enough I can receive texts from my husband. And I was able to message back and forth with a contact after I reached out to her, but she had been messaging me. She did ask if I had changed devices because she said my texts had changed color. I noticed the same thing. My sent texts changed from blue to green. I don't know if this is a hardware problem or provider issue. Thanks for your help!
Solution: There are several factors to consider when your phone can't send a text message. It may be a network related issue, SIM issue, account issue, or even a phone issue.
The first thing to check is the phone signal. Does your phone have good network reception? If not, then this may be the reason why you are not receiving text messages.
Sometimes restarting your phone also helps in this kind of situation since it resets your phone connection to the network.
Try to check if certain numbers are included in your phone blocked list as this may also be the reason why you are not receiving text messages. To do this go to Go to Settings > Messages > Blocked.
You may also have to update your carrier settings to receive text messages. To do this go to Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear.
Finally, check and see if there are any new OS updates for your phone.
- Plug in your device to a power source.
- Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
- Tap Download and Install. Updates might download automatically while your device is connected to Wi-Fi and a power source.
- Tap Install, or tap Later to install the update later. If you use a passcode, you'll need to enter it before installing the update.
iPhone 6 No Sound When Making Calls
Problem: Hi, When making a call, I hear no sound but if I put it on speaker, I can hear. If I take it off speaker and put in headphones, I can hear. But this is no way to live- ridiculous. Please help.
Solution: Try making a call then adjust the volume with the volume buttons. Make sure that you can see the volume indicator on the display when you press on the volume up button.
Sometimes if there is something blocking the receiver you won't be able to hear the person on the other end.
- Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver, such as a case or film.
- If you have a new iPhone, remove the plastic film on the front and back of the device.
- Check the receiver opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. If necessary, clean the receiver opening with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
Try restarting your phone
- Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
- Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
- After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
Reset your phone
- Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If the problem still persists then this may already be hardware related. Bring your phone to an authorized service center for checking.
iPhone 6 Heating Up
Problem: my iphone 6 is getting heated up for even a nominal use only the top portion is heating up is every iPhone is like that or there is a problem with mine.
Solution: It is normal for an iPhone to get hot when it is being used. Hover, if your phone gets too hot then there is already something wrong with it.
One of the main reasons why your phone may heat up even with nominal use is if it is struggling to get a good network reception. If you are in an area with a weak signal then your phone will make the necessary adjustment by boosting its power which in turn generates a considerable amount of heat.
If there are several services currently running in your phone then this may also contribute to the heat built up. These services may include your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile data, and GPS just to name a few.
iPhone 6 Shuts Down Randomly
Problem: My iPhone 6 is Shutting Down randomly. What should I do? It started when I updated it to iOS 8.2 . I search for some solution and they said I should restore it. after I restored it, still no luck. its still shutting down by itself. what should I do?
Solution: Try to restore your phone then set it up as a new device. The old data of your phone may be causing a conflict with the new software version which in turn results in your phone shutting down.
Before you restore your phone
- Make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes.
- Use iTunes to back up your device. Transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.
- Turn off Find My iPhone in Settings > iCloud on your device to disable Activation Lock.
Restoring your phone
- Connect your iOS device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
- Select your iPhone when it appears in iTunes. In the Summary panel, click Restore.
- Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the iOS software file and restore your iOS device.
- After your iOS device is restored to factory settings, it will restart. Once it does, you'll see the "Slide to set up" welcome screen. Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. You can set up your device as new.
iPhone 6 Restoring Encrypted Backup
Problem: I'm trying to restore my backup from my original phone to my new one but I encrypted it a while ago and I've forgotten the password. Is there a way to get around it, or better yet, to reset the password?
Solution: Unless you remember your password then there is no way for you to retrieve the data. If there was a way to do this then encrypting the data will be useless.
iPhone 6 Widgets Effect On Battery Life
Problem: just curious as to finding out, is my battery life at risk of draining faster if I have a widget turned on? I do have background app refresh turned off though. Not sure if that matters or not. I only have 1 widgets turned on.
Solution: Widgets do consume power however its effect on the overall battery life of your phone depends on what widget you are using and how many are running on your screen. The best way to proceed is to check your phone with the widgets running. If the battery life of your phone is more or less the same then it is safe to leave them on.
iPhone 6 Invalid SIM Error
Problem: i bought an iphone 6 64gb gold verizon gsm , and i want to activate on my country dominican republic and when i put the sim the phone say invalid sim and when i try to do the same on itunes the result is the same invalid sim.
Solution: Did you purchase an unlocked device? If it isn't unlocked then it will only work with Verizon. Try following the troubleshooting steps listed below as suggested by Apple.
- Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
- Turn airplane mode on and then off again.
- Restart your iPhone.
- Check for a carrier settings update. Go to Settings > General > About. Install any available update.
- Remove the SIM card and make sure that it's a valid SIM that your carrier provided. Also make sure that it's not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
- A SIM tray that comes with one iPhone model won't necessarily work with a different iPhone model. When you insert the correct SIM tray, the SIM tray should be flush with the device.
- If you have another SIM card, insert it. You can use a SIM card from any phone with the same format as your iPhone SIM card. If your iPhone works with that SIM card, contact the carrier that issued your original SIM card.
- Restore the iPhone.
iPhone 6 Wi-Fi Signal Keeps On Dropping
Problem: I have a 4 month old iPhone 6 running iOS 8.2 and my device along with my iPad 2 running the same iOS keep loosing the wifi connection and I have to keep going into settings to reconnect it. My sons iPhone 5 is also having this issue to the point where he didn't notice and sucked up our whole data plan in two days.
Solution: This may not be a phone issue but a router issue. If your phone is connected to your own Wi-Fi network then try to restart the router. Just unplug it and leave it off for about a minute. When you plug it back in try check your connection.
iPhone 6 Thinks Headphones Are Connected
Problem: I'm not getting any sound from the ear speaker, my iPhone 6 thinks that the headphones are connected when they are not. Any ideas?
Solution: Try the following troubleshooting steps listed below to resolve this issue.
- Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
- Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
- While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack
- Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
- For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
- If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
- Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
- If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (choose Settings > General > Bluetooth).
- Restart the iPhone.
- If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
If the issue persists then this may already be a hardware related problem. You should bring your phone to an authorized service center for checking.
iPhone 6 Is In Demo Mode
Problem: My iPhone is demo device, how I can reset it?
Solution: You will need to restore your phone then set it up as a new device.
Before you restore your phone
- Make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes.

Kevin Daley defeats Gary Glenn in GOP primary for state Senate
Gary Glenn, current state representative for parts of Midland and Bay counties, lost his primary election race for the 31st state Senate seat on Tuesday.
In Senate District 31, the Associated Press shows Glenn with 12,620 votes, or 41 percent, to Kevin Daley's 17,864 votes, or 59 percent, with 112 of 115 precincts reporting.
Glenn moved from Midland to Bay County's Williams Township in order to be eligible for the 31st District seat.
Glenn currently represents the 98th state House seat, which includes Midland, Auburn and Pinconning. It also includes Homer, Jerome, Larkin, Lee, Lincoln and Midland townships in Midland County along with Beaver, Fraser, Garfield, Gibson, Mount Forest, Pinconning and Williams townships in Bay County.
Glenn's wife, Annette Glenn, won the GOP primary for that House seat and will face off against Democrat Sarah Schulz in November.

Landscaping a sloped and rocky yard can be challenging and the best way to handle a garden of this nature is to work with the landscape, rather than against it. You'll need to plant the area, as this will protect against soil erosion. Laying sod may not be a good idea, as mowing on slopes can be problematic, and sloped lawns could prove a little unsafe.
Rock Gardens
Make a feature of your challenging yard by creating a rockery or dry rock garden. Combine flowing streams of water and waterfall features, cascading down to garden ponds, in your rock garden for added interest. You already have the basic requirements in place for your rockery, as your sloping yard will have the natural drainage mechanism that rockery plants need to thrive. Import additional rocks and gravels for an authentic hillside appearance and choose alpine plants, succulents and shrubs that are best suited to rock gardens in your U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zone.
If your yard has a very steep slope, you may want to consider terraces. Creating terraces will help prevent hillside erosion and ensure better water retention. Create attractive terraces using natural landscaping materials, such as wood or stone. You could even move the rocks to create natural stone wall terracing. Your terraces provide natural, flat surfaces for rain water to soak into and prevent problems with runoff that can occur. A series of terraces gives you the opportunity to create different minigardens within the landscape.
Plantings and Stripcropping
Where hard landscaping works are impossible, consider planting a range of suitable ground cover plants on the slope, as these plants protect against soil erosion. Alternatively, stripcropping could be a solution. Stripcropping involves planting rows of perennials interspersed between strips of grass. Perennials are valuable plants that reduce soil erosion, while the strips of grass act as filters and will catch most of the soil that runs off from the garden beds. The strips of grass should be wide enough to mow.
Rain Gardens
Prevent rainwater from running off the slope and into municipal storm drains by building a rain garden at the foot of the slope. Rain gardens will catch the remnants of water draining from your hillside and can be set with plants that tolerate varying degrees of wetness.
