On Sunday it was drizzly so a few friends and I went for a walk to Trafalgar square to see the St. Patrick's Day festival. We took a bus to Hyde Park and walked past Buckingham to the square. Our walk took us down the Mall (rhymes with pal) which gave wonderful views of St. James's park.
The festival was a bit lame…
After we got bored with the festival, we went around the block to the National Portrait Gallery. Photography wasn't allowed inside, but we got to see portraits of Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria, the Bronte Sisters, John Donne, Paul McCartney, Prince William and Prince Harry, Princess Di and Shakespeare, just to name a few.

Syria: How R2P Might Still Work
Drew Christiansen
America Magazine
2 August 2012
Drew Christiansen is editor-in-chief of America Magazine.
The Responsibility to Protect, the innovative international law doctrine that establishes a framework for international intervention in the domestic life of countries where significant numbers of people are subject to violence or grave deprivation, seems tailor-made for the current civil war in Syria. But the United Nations has hesitated to do more than commission former Secretary General Kofi Annan to undertake two failed peace missions to the region. While there is ample reason to hesitate before intervening in Syria, evidence of indiscriminate government attacks on its citizens is sufficient to warrant an array of measures under the R2P doctrine short of all out force to protect Syrians from their murderous leaders.
Commentators lay the blame for the failure to intervene on the opposition of Russia and China, veto-wielding members of the Security Council. Even if no vetoes blocked international action, of course, there are lots of reasons to hesitate to intervene militarily. (…)
There are essentially two obstacles to intervention, one political, the other, ethical. The political barrier to action, of course, is the lack of consensus on the UN Security Council. The ethical barrier is the uncertainty, one might even say the excessive difficulty, of reaching a peaceful settlement by armed intervention. The framers of the R2P doctrine did anticipate situations in which the Security Council might be deadlocked and allowed that it would be "unrealistic to expect that concerned states will rule out other means and forms of action to meet the gravity and urgency of these situations." The political barrier is not insuperable. For example, a coalition of states, like "the Friends of Syria" or the Arab League, might undertake a 'legitimate," though not formally legal, intervention as in Kosovo in 1999. So, the need for action could be met in other ways than through an all-out military intervention under the authority of the Security Council. Those other means ought to be aimed at reducing the obstacles to international execution of the responsibility to protect and at facilitating conditions for a just peace in post-bellum Syria. (…)
A particularly thorny problem in regime-changing conflicts like that in Syria is the question of transitional justice, that is, how to hold those responsible for atrocities accountable for their crimes. It is particularly vexing because often to wind down the conflict a choice must be made between exacting full accountability and advancing the end of armed conflict by extending amnesty to some of the perpetrators.

As per the Hub on Causeway Project, you may want to edit the BUILDING HEIGHT listed: neither of the two towers will be near 600 FT in height because of all those opposed to tall buildings in that altitude range (despite the fact that Boston already has a few towers in excess of 600', but of course not adjacent to the West and North Ends). Though without any data to support my estimate, at 38 stories and approx. 12 FT per floor, the Residential Tower should stand in at around 456 Feet. As well, the renderings of the two towers together make them appear somewhat comparable in height, but maybe that is just a perspective glitch within the illustration; the office tower at 21 stories should be somewhere around 252 FT with the same estimated height per floor parameter.

How did you do forward nexavir? Any progress?
Click to stretch…
I did 4 months on Nexavir / 4ME (diurnal injections for the first two weeks, on that account one injection every 2 days accordingly).
It's hard to say whether this helped or not, because regular 3 months before I started the Nexavir / 4ME, I versed some substantial improvements in my overall ME/CFS symptoms, that were I believe due starting a extreme dose selenium antiviral protocol at that time.
So at what time I began Nexavir / 4ME, I had not long ago transitioned to a much improved public due to the selenium, and I was without particularizing on the up as a eventuate of my continued use of selenium.
So Nexavir / 4ME main have helped, but it could be in possession of been just the selenium I was infectious.
But in any case, I am not a tolerably great person to test Nexavir / 4ME attached, because my viral lab results mark my ME/CFS may be befitting to enterovirus rather than herpes household viruses (although I did have HSV-1 and cytomegalovirus reactivations), and Nexavir / 4ME solely works for herpes family viruses, not enteroviruses.

Bug #1722
mod_fastcgi/mod_scgi: bin-environment doesn't override parent environment
Both mod_fastcgi and mod_scgi have a bin-environment option which allows the environment of a child fastcgi/scgi process to be set. However, if a variable is inherited from the parent of lighttpd itself, it can't be overridden using bin-environment (unless masked out by bin-copy-environment).
This is because there is a bug in env_add in mod_fastcgi.c and mod_scgi.c which unconditionally adds the VAR=VAL string to the end of the environment, rather than replacing an existing VAR=OLDVAR entry if one exists. As a result, if a variable is both inherited from the parent and set in bin-environment, execve is called with an environment array containing both values for VAR. Typically getenv(2) will return the first value with such a process environment, so the likely result is that the bin-environment fails to have the expected effect.
The attached patch against lighttpd-1.4.19 fixes this problem by making env_add consistent with the behaviour of putenv(2)/setenv(2). (The fix is presumably not relevant for 1.5.x as mod_fastcgi and mod_scgi are deprecated there.)

Press Release
From: Del Norte County Unified School District
On January 24, 2018, the negotiating teams for the Del Norte County Unified School District (District) and Del Norte Teachers' Association (DNTA) mutually agreed to return to the bargaining table in an attempt to come to agreement over outstanding contract issues, before entering a fact findinghearing. The fact finding process, which is the next legal step in the process of negotiations, following initial negotiations and mediation, has been terminated because a tentative agreement has been reached by both parties.
Both bargaining teams began working last May to review and revise the entire three year contract. In August, the teams began sharing proposals. In October, proposals regarding compensation and health and welfare benefits were exchanged, at which time negotiations stalled. Proposals that were exchanged as a result of those negotiation sessions, from both the District and DNTA, can be found at www.dnusd.org under the "Negotiations" quicklink on the right sidebar of the webpage.
In early October, both the District and DNTA requested that the Public Employee Relations Board (PERB) provide a mediator to assist in the process of reaching agreement. In November, the mediator completed a three-hour session with the teams but was unable to bring about an agreement. He then released the teams to fact finding. As of mid-January, both teams had selected a panel member for the fact finding panel, and a neutral member had been agreed to by the two other members, in preparation for the formal hearing.
As reported in the Triplicate on January 13, 2018, proposals made by the District and DNTA in October were very close. The release of the Governor's proposed 2018-2019 budget provided new information and budget assumptions that made it possible for the District to return to the negotiations table and to continue to work with DNTA to come to a mutually beneficial tentative agreement.
The tentative agreement includes, but is not limited to, the following general components:
- A 2% ongoing salary increase
- A 3% increase to non-salary based stipends
- Increase to the annual health and welfare benefit cap from $9,711 to $10,500
- Career/Technical Education Teachers can benefit from salary increases based on training and specialty certifications
- A cap on the special education caseload for special education teachers
- Employees, both new to the District and current employees of the District, can be granted up to 10 years of service, instead of the 5 years previously allowed
The tentative agreement will become the new Bargaining Agreement (Contract) upon ratification by the membership of the Del Norte Teachers' Association and ratification by the Del Norte County Unified School District Board of Trustees.

David was very helpful and knowledgeable. He made the entire process easy for me. He understood the questions I had and was able to efficiently produce the information that I asked for. Very easy to deal with.
David is a trustworthy, knowledgeable agent. As a client, I feel confident that he knows what he's doing and is working in my best interest.
I would highly recommend David Jukuri
Brokers like David are few and far between
David was always there for us to answer those first home-buyer's questions. He was familiar with the area and gave good insight on things that may not have been noticed otherwise, good at seeing things as a big picture. Would highly recommend David to anyone and would use him for future purchases.
David did a great job on the sale of my house. It's a very difficult market there.
Thanks, David, for your professional work! You are great to work with in real estate!
We were looking at various houses on line and contacted about four brokers and let them know what we were looking for. David promptly provided us with multiple listings. David was always available and on top of all details.
David was great to work with.
David Jukuri is very knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy. These attributes are very important when my husband and I relied on David to sell our home and purchase our new home. I knew I could contact him at any time with questions or concerns and he would respond in a timely manner. David kept us up to date on the paperwork, time lines, and helped us through the whole process with great patience. I would highly recommend David to anyone who is looking to sell or purchase a home or property.
David is a consummate professional. He is polite, respectful, but knows how to do what he needs to do to close a deal for you. It's been a great experience working with him, and I hope to have the opportunity to do so again one day.
It was a hard property to sell, but David persevered with us throughout. He went above and beyond what other realtors would have done. Eventually the perfect family bought the home! I am satisfied! David is a great person as well as an agent. We became friends through this journey. I wholeheartedly recommend him.
David did a great job of turning a unique set of circumstances into a winning deal for all parties involved.
David Jukuri was courteous, patient, amiable, and professional. He often had to play along while our 4-year old went through the house "inspecting". On many occasions, he had to wait while we painstakingly pulled off our toddlers snow boots cleaned them and put them on again after viewings. On one occasion he had to come and help dig our car out of the snow! He did all of those with a smile. He made sure he pointed those particular details during home viewings. When we requested repeated viewing of a home, he made sure to point out aspects of the home we may miss or details we had not noted. He was thorough and well prepared. After the first few homes, he understood our need and guided our choices in that direction. Knowing that we had moved from out of town, David provided us with details and information relevant to the particularly challenging weather in the UP! David even accommodated a Skype viewing of a home while my spouse was away! Never pushy and always listening-that's how we would sum up David's approach to our nearly one-year long hunt for a home. I would not hesitate to recommend David to family and friends. I am sure they will also be as pleased as we are!
David Jukuri was a great help in walking us through the process of purchasing our first home. He was patient and made sure we fully understood everything we needed to do. He made himself very easy to contact and never seemed to mind our calls at odd times when we had questions.
Thanks again David for all your help.
Great agent who works to get the best results.
It was a true pleasure working with David Jukuri on the purchase of my house! David was very professional and knowledgeable on what I wanted during the purchase and the whole transaction went excellent! I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a new home! Thanks Again!
David was professional, attentive, and a pleasure to work with.
thanks for selling my house David Jukuri. best wishes to you and your father.
David handled the sale in a very professional and caring manner. The property was in our family for over 100 years and with the transaction there were a few concerns from neighbors and relatives. David handled the sale in a very caring, diplomatic and understanding way. He went well beyond the call of duty to ensure that the sale went smoothly. I would highly recommend David and Century 21 North Country.
We worked with David for over 2 years trying to find the perfect waterfront home in Keweenaw County. David set us up with email updates from the mls, but ultimately the house we purchased was one that he called us about within an hour of it hitting the mls. We put an offer in immediately and began negotiating with the Sellers, ultimately coming to agreement a few days later. Over that time several offers had come in. If David had not been watching so closely for a home that fit our needs, and had not moved so quickly, we would have missed this unique opportunity. Thanks David!
David did an excellent job and would correct issues without hesitation.
Kristine and David are a great team, are very knowledgeable and honest. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an agent who is capable of completing a sale from start to finish. Their attention to detail and follow through is second to none with great communication throughout the whole process. They delivered what they promised every time. Great experience. Highly recommended.
Thank you very much for your help in selling the church, a great job!
Great people!
Really appreciated David's patience with our extended and variable search process, as it took us a while to decide on what sort of house, cost and location we were most interested in and what sort of balance we wanted to strike between those factors.
We are extremely happy with the services we've received from Kristine and David at CENTURY 21 North Country Agency. They did everything they possibly could and more to meet our specific needs. We couldn't have asked for better REALTORS® in the Houghton area. We appreciate everything they've done!
It has been a great pleasure to work with you on our recent property purchases. You are a hard worker and have provided excellent customer service throughout the entire process. We look forward to working with you in the future.
Not only are you top-notch real estate agents, but you also have heart. I appreciate so much all you've done for me; I know it's your job, but it's how you do it...so professional and caring from start to finish. If you ever need a testimony from a satisfied client, you would certainly have mine.
Thank you for the time you gave us. We really appreciate the friendly touch and your thorough work!
Many thanks on this property deal. We couldn't have done it without you. Your professionalism is greatly appreciated.
CENTURY 21 North Country Agency is #1 with us, and we would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone we know. You definitely covered all the bases, and kept us updated and informed through out the entire time. We will miss the e-mails and phone calls, feel like we are missing a friend. Take care, best to all of you, and many thanks again.
Thank you for all of your effort, knowledge and patience. I think we worked very well together as a team.
We just wanted to say thank you for your courtesy and professionalism in serving us. It was a pleasure doing business with you. We will stop in and say hello when we come up next summer.
I really do appreciate the time and energy you and Kristine put into helping me find a place. I want you to know that I'm the first to recommend that individuals go to CENTURY 21 North Country Agency and ask for either of you if they are looking for properties or wanting to sell. I look forward to working with you in the future.

Video: California innovation found—in the public sector
In California, when one thinks of innovation, thoughts invariably turn to the Silicon Valley and perhaps some company with an uncommon name.
But sometimes new thinking in technology can spring from traditionally slow moving places.
In fact, this time the innovation that's is underway is happening in a very unlikely spot: The office of the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk. That's right, innovation in, of all places, the public sector.
Registrar Dean Logan is doing what all innovators do: He's looking to solve a problem that no one else can. What's the problem? He can't find a voting machine that works well for his large, diverse and complex County.
So he's designing his own. And he's doing it the old-fashioned way. He's first talking to his customers--the voters of Los Angeles County.
Logan in a recent speech to the Future of California Elections meeting in Sacramento (organized by Common Cause and sponsored by the Irvine Foundation) told election officials about why he has taken such a dramatic step.
Logan pointed out three factors that drove the decision:
- The age of the voting equipment is old and options for new equipment are limited. (If you vote in Los Angeles County, you know how arcane the system is)
- Voting Machines must be approved by federal and state officials, and the national regulatory environment has been, to use Logan's words, "unstable and erratic in the last ten years." So not much new is coming to the market.
- The issue of funding. Even if new and approved voting machines were available, there's no public money to buy them.
But something has to be done because as Logan told the FOCE audience, "Los Angeles' system is at the end of his life." And there's nothing approved on the market that would meet the needs of L.A.'s large and diverse community.
Logan has been working on this for over two years, collecting data, asking voters questions and working toward a solution that will be secure, transparent, easily used and functional.
"It is a daunting project that we are committed to doing and doing right," Logan said.
The County will review 3-5 design models later this year. While Los Angeles County is obviously much bigger and more complex than many other California counties, other officials will be watching to see what Logan and his team come up with. And it will have the input of the voters included in the design.
The audience that is watching what Logan and his team come up with isn't limited to California. This is a process that people around the nation are watching.
Pamela Smith of Verified Voting--a group that works to make sure that every vote that is cast is counted---thinks that Logan's effort underscores California's leadership in good and trustworthy elections:

Opponents of building a high-voltage power line across the national park and Appalachian Trail said Tuesday the project will irreparably harm the environment. Proponents said it will provide thousands of badly needed temporary jobs.
Opponents of building a high-voltage power line across the national park and Appalachian Trail said Tuesday the project will irreparably harm the environment. Proponents said it will provide thousands of badly needed temporary jobs.
Eighteen people spoke at Fernwood Hotel and Conference Center at the first of three successive hearings on the National Park Service's draft environmental impact statement on the project. PPL Electric Utilities and Public Service Electric & Gas want to cross the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area near Bushkill as part of a project to move electricity 147 miles from Berwick to Roseland, N.J.
Lines supplying 500 kilovolts of power would be added to the existing 230-kilovolt line in a right of way predating the park. Existing 95-foot towers would be replaced by 195-foot towers.
"This area is so unique and rare that to allow the power lines to go through it is almost a sin," said Kate Millsaps of the New Jersey Sierra Club.
"This project will create thousands of jobs, a minimum of 250 construction jobs," said David Blauer of Hughestown, a union official with IBEW Local 1319 out of Wilkes-Barre. "These are good paying jobs."
Patricia A. Griffin of Artists for Conservation displayed her oil painting of a national park scene overlooking the Delaware River, shrink-wrapped in clear plastic, and drew on it in magic marker what she said is an accurate scale of how the towers would dwarf the tree line if the project was approved.
"We have to preserve it for the people who come after us," Griffin said. "It's not about your job."
Herb Meyerson of Friends of Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area invoked the legacy of 1,200 property owners who lost their land in the 1960s and '70s for what is now the national park.
"We believe the park will die a thousand cuts if the electric power line is allowed to go through," Meyerson said. "We owe it to the people who did give up those lands to preserve the area as much as we can."
Bill Wolfe of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility called the utilities' recently announced offer to buy and preserve $30 million in nearby lands as "mitigation" for the power lines a test of the National Park Service's integrity.
"It's an offense to the public process," Wolfe said. "This is our Grand Canyon in the East."
Don Miles of the Lehigh Valley Sierra Club said the project will cause irreversible harm to the national park.
"These destructive impacts would include endangering rare species, damaging forests and habitats, impairing forever scenic vistas and riparian and cultural landscapes, and detrimentally affecting visitors' experiences," Miles said.
John Petrizzo of Bushkill praised PPL for creating jobs and maintaining power during bad storms, criticizing the park service for what he called its failures to keep facilities open regularly.
PPL spokesman Paul Wirth took exception to park service assertions the power line right of way might be expanded by 200 to 380 feet to accommodate the taller towers. He said the right of way is 150 feet now in most parts of the park, and would expand to 200 feet at most.
Appalachian Trail Superintendent Pam Underhill said 200 feet might be the utilities' intention, but utility industry standards call for the wider right of way that the companies could clear-cut later if the crossing is approved.
Today's public hearing is at Stroudsmoor Country Inn, from 6 to 9 p.m.

If you aren't sure what Degustabox is, it is a monthly food subscription service where you get a surprise box of different foods and drinks to try. It's great for the whole family, and such a good way of trying out new things you wouldn't necessarily buy.
What was in this months box -
Inside this months box where items from the following brands ..
Levi Roots, Maggi, Yushoi, Robinsons, Heinz, Beloved Dates, JimJams, Pasquier, IAM SOUPER, Hersheys.
I have been getting Degustabox for a while now, and had some great boxes! this one didn't quite blow me away as some of them have in the past, just because I have had quite a few of these items included in previous boxes, such as the JimJams Chocolate Spread, Levi Roots cooking sauce, Yushoi snapea rice sticks.
The kids did like the Heinz pasta and pasta sauce as they are minions themed. It was nice to see the Hershey's cookies 'n' cream bar as they are pretty yummy. Although I have had the Yushoi snapea rice sticks before, we do get them often in our food shop so it was a nice extra I guess.
I was looking forward to trying the Beloved Date fruit hearts, Degustabox added lots of flavours to try out which was nice, there was cocoa and berry, orange, rich cocoa and original, plus the fact they are in cute heart shapes makes it more appealing to a typical girly girl like me ha!
I thought these fruit hearts may be similar to naked bars as they are mainly pressed dates, but if I'm being honest they where a little disappointing and found the flavoured ones I've tried so far didn't really taste that flavoured to me and just quite plain.
I'm still yet to try the IAM SOUPER soups, but I love the idea these are 'protein' soups. I'm a bit of a fitness freak so I'm all for that protein. The flavours I received where super greens and pulled pork & jalapeños.
My kids really liked the Pasquire Pitch Chocolate Bar, They are like little brioche's with a mini chocolate bar in the middle of it, which was quite different. I may have to pick these up again.
There was also a mini portable Robinsons orange squash, which you can add to water on the go. Along with 2 packs of Maggi Fusian noodles in sweet chilli and spiced curry, I am yet to try these but they should be quite nice, we use the Maggi seasoning 'so juicy' sheets with chicken sometimes (those are delicious) so I bet these noodles will work well with them.
Even though this box didn't quite wow me like some have, everything will still get used so it is never really a waste of money.
If you fancy giving it a try I have a £7 off discount code, making your first box just £5.99! use the code (VNAJG) at checkout HERE.
Have you tried Degustabox? I would love to her your thoughts.
Thanks for reading,
Love Zoe x

It was a breezy warm April morning & I had just left our motel room on the second floor, going down for a walk and inhaling the salty Florida tropical air. I was on the third day of my vacation, and it was beginning to relax my nerves. The sky was a friendly blue, the palms swaying gently, but doesn't everything seem to look better in Florida?
As I turned my phone on, a reddish hued gecko made its way up the trunk of a nearby tree, embracing the day, much like I was about to.
My phone buzzed, an angry & distracting sound, then again and again. I had missed multiple calls. 3 were from my mother. I sighed inwardly, a deep thready response to her inability to separate from me. One was from my brother.
My mom began just curious, a bit needy about our vacation, missing us. Her voice drifted off by the third call, and she sounded tired, almost drunk. But her words were eerie: I love you guys and I always will.
It sounded like she was saying goodbye. I chalked it up to her usual machinations of obligation and the suddenness of being without a house full of people. It must be so silent for her now.
The next message from my brother came in quick & alarming.
Mom had a heart attack last night. She is in the hospital. Call me.
Immediately, everything dropped away, much like my knees as I slid to the pavement, cradling my phone so it wouldn't fall. I reached him on the first ring.
She's going to get a stent, you don't need to come.
Every impulse in my body felt wrong, stunted. How could I just leave her behind? How could I not rush to her side? But he reassured me she would be OK.
It was late in the afternoon a day later when I found out this was not to be the case.
She coded on the table when they tried the stent. They told me I needed to make a decision, let her die or have open heart surgery. So, I did. I told them to make her have the operation.
During the operation, which at her 76 years she survived, there was several instances of coding, and ultimately she made it, but with a massive right hemisphere stroke. Her recovery was messy. She had to be intubated, out on a respirator, chest drain. She developed a large back ulcer from spending 2 months on her back. Her heels began to show signs of pressure sores forming beneath the skin.
The worst part was not being able to communicate with her. And in light of the fact that I had ignored her calls the night it happened, I felt I couldn't forgive myself. How did I know this was going to be the last time I ever would speak to my mom? It haunted me.
And then came the days when she woke up & showed signs of improvement. By this point she had a peg (stomach feeding) tube, a tube in her throat, and her hands gloved so she wouldn't fight back to take the tubes out.
We were hopeful. I was happy one day when she began mouthing words. They didn't make a whole lot of sense at first, but I got her to understand what had happened, that she had been "out" for the majority of the spring, it was summer now. She was aggravated that she could not go home.
The next day was the 4th of July. It began much like any day, I had a good one, I spent some time on the porch, poring over documents to get my mother admitted to Medicaid and to stay in the nursing home she was in.
In the evening, I got several calls from a number I did not recognize. I was used to getting telemarketers, and this was nothing different, surely.
Until I checked them. It was from the nursing home she was in & they were urgent. Maybe denial played a huge part in why I didn't call them back. I figured it was paperwork related. When I got on the phone, the worker on the other end was breathy, telling me in rapid fire that my mom had died and I needed to get a funeral home to take her because they didn't have a morgue.
My world was spinning, I was alone, it was night, and I had to find the strength to begin making arrangements.

Stale in West Seattle, Fresh in North Seattle
Tim Ellis has been doing some serious research in the past several days. The view you see here shows the "age" of listings in the Seattle real estate market, by zip code. The bluer the dot, the longer the average time on the market. Tims readers were particularly interested in the activity (or lack thereof) in West Seattle. Some surmised that the high number of Alki beach condos and high-end view properties were dragging the average value up.

Less toxic alternatives to CV
Any suggestions as to a much less toxic spraying product than CVs that yield very high performance in toughness, water/chemical resistance, scratch resistance, and ease of interaction with a variety of staining/dye media? Preferably water base but I'm open to ideas. Fuhr seems to be popular around here.
I'm in Brooklyn, NY and a local dealer would be the best, but mail order could be workable.
I started out with waterborne and went against the grain to a solvent finish. I'm thinking the experiment was useful: unless I can accommodate the finishing process more safely, CVs will need to be reserved for sporadic applications. Under current shop conditions, I do not want to be spraying this frequently.
Forum Responses
On the waterborne front, Fuhr's 355 is a good choice. Van Technologies is also highly regarded on the waterborne front. Ceramic Industrial Coatings in Minnesota has a Becker Systems product that's extremely good as well and General Finishes has their Pro Acrylic which I don't think is as good as a C-V with respect to chemical resistance and toughness but certainly can hang in there with pre-cat lacquer.
From contributor D:
I use the Van Tech finishes and find that they are excellent. I won't say they will outperform conversion varnishes, but I did test a maple door that I finished using Vantech 482 against a door from a major cabinet manufacturer using their 14-step-catalyzed-oven-baked-jiffy-pop finish and found that it did outperform that particular door with that particular finish.
The test was pretty basic and straightforward. I collected a variety of products that may harm the finish such as acetone, lacquer thinner, lime away, bleach and isopropanol. I laid the doors flat and poured 5 ml of each on the door in different spots, leaving each on there to air dry before adding the next one.
After it was all over, the factory door had a large soft spot from the lacquer thinner and a smaller one from the acetone. No effect from the other ones. The Vantech had a blush spot from the isopropyl and a slight blush from the acetone and no effect from the others.
After 24 hours the factory door was still gummy from the lacquer thinner and it left a permanent soft spot. Otherwise, it was good from all others. At the same time, the Vantech door had no visible effects from the chemicals. The blushing from the IPA was gone and looked as good as new.
I realize that this was a simple test and in no way demonstrates a real world experience. It only shows what it shows. But I did find it valuable in determining if the waterbornes had any resistance at all.
I would also try ICA 2k urethanes, and see if the local distributor has some of ICA's waters, as those are awesome.
Bob Niemeyer, forum technical advisor
From contributor J:
I have been using Fuhr 355 and have been pretty pleased with the product. I just finished a coffee table as a gift and have the perfect testing grounds for the finish - a house with twin 1-year old babies as well as two dogs. If this finish holds up for any extended period of time I will be sold on it for good. About two minutes after moving the table in, both babies were whacking it with their toys. All I could do was cringe and leave fast. Two weeks and finish is still holding up fine. I just installed a kitchen pantry cabinet with the Fuhr exterior pigmented finish in the same house... Stay tuned.
My question would be: How fast drying/fast production run are the waterbornes in a kitchen cabinet production type of situation? Aside from the above one off products - a coffee table, a door, etc. - what about many boxes and many doors? Is anyone using waterbornes in this situation other than factory type, finish line assemblies?
From contributor J:
I only have experience with water borne products, so I can't compare them to solvent based finishes. However, I have had good experiences spraying WB products. I have used ML Campbell's ultra-star and a few of the Fuhr's products now (I prefer the latter's products). I have done some large projects with 5 or more cases, doors, and shelves. I have found that per the manufacturer's suggestions, the finish is dry in 5-10 minutes, and can be sanded in 15-20. Occasionally a piece may take a little longer if I wound up applying too heavy a coat (never more than 25-30 minutes, though). I suppose the weather can have more of an impact on the WB products, but it effects all types of finishes unless you have your heaters and the like, right? On a large project, by the time I finish spraying a coat, I can just go to the first piece I finished and start sanding my way through the line. I do usually give a quick sand in between 2nd and 3rd coats as well with some 400. Might be unnecessary, I just feel more comfortable about it.
I am not a fan of finishing and am by no means an expert, but I am continually learning and have been able to achieve good results with the WB. I suspect those with more experience in finishing would spend even less time getting satisfactory results.
From contributor R:
I use Fuhr's 350 hv for use in the production of many boxes a day and am not a factory assembly line. I have a small three man operation and the waterbased products work well for me. I have used many waterborne products and have found that the Fuhr products give me what I am looking for in speed and fast drying. I have now added a curing system and can spray twelve pieces and give them 8 minutes flash and 16 minutes curing and then just about 5 minutes to cool and be ready to re-shoot or buff out the box top. All of the boxes we make are full fill finishes and are buffed out to a high gloss. The one thing I really like about the Fuhr 350 hv is it fills fast, and it is a thermal setting compound, which means that you can ship it on a freight line and not have to worry about it getting soft from the heat, like some of the other waterborne products do.
Contributor R, you mentioned a curing system. Is that an oven type setup where you put the products in and out in minutes/seconds? Cost around 10k? Forgot the name of this system, just wondering if it's the same as you are talking about.
From contributor R:
No, the unit I use is just about $500 and is portable. It is used mainly for auto paint, but it is the same for autos or waterbased product. You want to cure from the bottom up. This unit cures an area of about 30 in X 36 in at a time. I am currently trying to become a distributor for the system that I use to be able to sell them to my customers. Right now I only sell Fuhr's waterbased coatings and C.A. Technologies spray equipment.
From contributor D:
The WBs dry as fast as a lacquer unless you really spray them thick. I often spray right in the customers' houses when I do repair work and I always get complimented on how there is little or no odor after about 15 minutes and it really cuts down on the masking that I have to do.
If you want really fast dry times for production, then use the WB UV coatings.
From the original questioner:
A few follow-ups...
Vantech 482 and Fuhr 355: Can these be used over a vinyl sealer (ex. MLC Water White Sealer) without compatibility issues?
If used topcoated over surfaces that present possible contamination (oils, waxes, et al), will they underperform or fail? Will a vinyl sealer work? If not, what would work as a sealer?
Out of the can tint: are these amber, and if so, how much, say, compared to Duravar? Are any of these products available water white or only amber tinted?
Contributor R, can you give additional info on the Fuhr's 350 hv? I'm not able to find anything relating to the product. Is this better for non-sag vertical surfaces? When you say it is thermal setting, does it demand the addition of an external heat source to harden it?
From contributor D:
Vantech 482 can be used as a self sealer or used as a topcoat over their 240 sealer. In my opinion, 2 coats of sealer and one coat of 482 gives a very good build and a smooth finish. It has an amberish tint to it (240 doesn't). I think the 485 is a water white.
482 can be applied at something like 10 mils vertical with no sag.
You should try Target Coatings products. They're right next to Giant Stadium, and Jeff's a super guy. He'll come on site and make sure you're getting what you want. His line is mostly waterbase (PSL is the best waterbase lacquer I've used), but he's also got an Emtech line that's safe and durable.

Our Mission
The New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty's mission is to advance economic and social justice through education, advocacy, and litigation. We work with low-income New Mexicans to improve living conditions, increase opportunities, and protect the rights of people living in poverty.
Underlying our mission is a vision of New Mexico without poverty, where all peoples' basic human rights are met, including the rights to food, housing, healthcare, a living wage, education, and equal access to justice.
The Center carries out its mission in several ways with one common theme: to bring the voice and perspective of low-income New Mexicans to processes which may impact their lives, and from which they are often excluded.
Our Strategies
The Center has core competencies in poverty law and the policy areas in which we act. We also have sophisticated knowledge about the challenges facing New Mexico's unique populations, including immigrant communities, people living in rural areas, and Native Americans.
We have found success using the following strategies:
- We use our deep expertise and solid research capacities to thoroughly investigate issues impacting low-income New Mexicans.
- We collaborate with community members, advocacy organizations, program administrators and policymakers to learn about issues—ensuring that all stakeholders have a voice in our process.
- We use our information and expertise to advise state agencies of problems with programs and policies, advocate for needed improvements, and assist with developing and implementing solutions. When changes are adopted, we engage in ongoing monitoring until we are convinced the changes are successfully in place from the perspective of the intended beneficiaries.
- We monitor legislation that could impact New Mexicans living in poverty, educate lawmakers about the potential impact of their proposals on the poor, and advocate for designing laws in the best interests of low-income New Mexicans.
- When necessary, we pursue litigation to ensure that the rights of low-income New Mexicans are upheld.
- We are widely-considered to be a 'go-to' source of policy information on the poverty law issues of healthcare, public benefits, and labor rights. We provide quality information, technical assistance, and training to advocates, community members, service providers, policymakers, and program administrators.

I WON the Liebster Award for Blogging!
So cool! And totally unexpected. The Urban Book Thief, who is now officially the best person I have never met, left a comment on my recent post about the upcoming novel by Jeaniene Frost, Up From the Grave. I was super-shocked (in a good way) and speechless (which for me is beyond unusual) for bout 5 minutes and then I started screaming "OMG, OMG, OMG!!!" on repeat. (Insert hysterical shrieks and jumping up and down here.)
The Liebster Award for Blogging, is a award given to new note-worthy blogs (those with less than 200 followers). Before I was nominated, I knew people were reading my blog, because some of those people had left very thoughtful comments, but I had no idea that I would be up for an award. Again I would just like to say thank you!
So do I choose to accept this award! Hell YEAH!!!
As a recipient, I have to do the following:
- List 11 random facts about myself
- Answer 11 questions by the blogger that nominated me
- Nominate 11 other blogs for the award and link to them
- Notify the bloggers that they are awesome and have won a shiny pink blogging logo
- If they want to accept the award, ask them 11 questions to answer
(*Note: Nominees, should you choose to accept this award, you will also have to complete the above tasks.)
So here goes…
1. I still watch Saturday morning cartoons.
2. I've had three near death experiences…but thankfully they were near, not exact.
3. If I could go back in time, I would and then I'd kill the guy who invented Math.
4. If I could live anywhere in the world, it would be in Scotland.
5. I'm an arachnophobia…that's just a fancy way of saying that I'm terrified of spiders.
6. I' m the laziest person you'll never meet, because showing up for the actual meeting would require effort on my part.
7. I once appeared on a TV new cast, but I missed it.
8. When I was small I used to dress like a princess for Halloween, until I realized that being a witch was way more fun.
9. I have a very big ego…the biggest in the world, I'm sure…no make that the universe.
10. My Disney movie is Beauty and the Beast.
11. My favourite Greek myth is the one about Narcissus…I could really relate to how he fell in love with himself…lol.
1. Chicken or the Egg – CHOOSE!
I would have to say egg – maybe a chicken was the result of some random mutation in a bird's egg.
2. How did you come up with the name of your blog?
Muse (aka, someone who is a total inspiration to art – yup, that me, an inspiration). But in all seriously, my blog is full on random thoughts and ponderings (or rather musings) on books I've read, things I've watched and my experiences in the amazing journey that we call life, so the title naturally fit.
3. Which one of your posts/book reviews was the most fun to write?
My favourite post to date has got to be my review of Lydia Dare's series on the Westfield Brothers, called "Lydia Dare: The Dynamic Duo with a Terrific Trilogy, Plus One". I'm glad I had the chance to share this series, and these writers, with readers – especially considering they were relatively new at the time. The best part was when Lydia Dare – the writing tag-team of Tammy Falkner and Ava Stone – stopped by to comment!
4. What did you eat for breakfast today?
Some watermelon. I LOVE watermelons! And some toast.
5. Where are all the baby pigeons?
Divebombing some poor stranger on the sidewalk. Run, mon ami, RUN!
6. What are you reading right now?
"The Sword of Truth" series by Terry Goodkind – I'm currently on Soul of the Fire. And I'm highly antipating Nalini Singh's, Heart of Obsidian. I keep rereading her excerpt and trying to predict who the unknown heroine is going to be. (Yes, I am a tiny bit obsessed.)
7. Which book character do you simply love the most?
Lothaire, from Kresley Cole's Lothaire – I love his sarcasm, bad attitude and narcissism, and his total mushiness when it comes to his wife, and her alone. I'm glad Kresley Cole didn't make him a conventional hero.
8. Which is your favourite book series?
The "Guild Hunter" series by Nalini Singh. (I would also say the "Harry Potter" series by J. K. Rowling and the "Deltora Quest" series by Emily Rodda to name a few of my favourite children's authors.)
9. Ninjas or pirates – CHOOSE!
PIRATES!!! The Pirates of the Carribbean films, and Jack Sparrow, have forever stolen my heart.
10. If you could have a supernatural power what would it be?
Pyrokenesis, because I think the ability to control and create fire would be EPIC!
11. What's black and white and red all over?
The following are the bloggers I have nominated for the award:
Nominees, should you choose to accept this award in honour of your efforts in cyberspace, then you must answer the following questions on your blog or in the comments box below.
- What made you create a blog?
- What mythical creature would you want as a pet?
- If you could meet any one in the world, who would you meet?
- What is your favourite book?

- What is your favourite movie?
- If your friends had to define you in a single sentence, what would they say?

youtube-dl is a video download tool written in Python.
I had blogged about youtube-dl a while ago, here:
youtube-dl, a YouTube downloader in Python [1]
and again some days later, here:
How to download PyCon US 2013 videos for offline viewing using youtube-dl
(The comments on the above post give some better / easier ways to download the videos than I gave in the post.)
Today I saw that a Hacker News thread about youtube-dl was on the front page of Hacker News for at least part of the day (up to the time of writing this). The thread is here:
youtube-dl (on Hacker News)
I scanned the thread and saw many comments saying that the tool is good, what different users are using it for, many advanced tips on how to use it, etc. The original creator of youtube-dl, Ricardo Garcia, as well as a top contributor and the current maintainer (Filippo Valsorda and Philipp Hagemeister, respectively) also participated in the HN thread, as HN users rg3, FiloSottile and phihag_, respectively. I got to know from the thread that youtube-dl has many contributors, and that its source code is updated quite frequently (for changes in video site formats and other issues), both points which I did not know earlier. (I did know that you can use it to update itself, using the -U option).
Overall, the HN thread is a worthwhile read, IMO, for people interested in downloading videos for offline viewing. The thread had over 130 comments at the time of writing this post.
(On a personal note, since I first got to know about youtube-dl and downloaded it, I've been using it a fair amount to download videos every now and then, for offline viewing, and it has worked pretty well. There were only a few times when it gave an error saying the video could not be downloaded, and I am not sure whether it was due to a problem with the tool, or with the video site.)
[1] My first post about youtube-dl also had a brief overview of its code, which may be of interest to some Pythonistas.
This other post which mentions youtube-dl may also be of interest:

since youtube-dl was one of those most-watched repositories, at the time of writing that post.

Dogs in Ekiti become endangered species #RecessionUpdate
Dogs in Ekiti become endangered species #RecessionUpdate
Seems Ekiti state has taken over from Calabar as the dog meat (or 404 as it is fondly called) capital of Nigeria, even if it is just a temporary change of status.
If the news reports are anything to go by, it appears that the people have developed a taste for man's best friend due to the current economic crunch in the country.
But not to be deterred from enjoying the wining and dining tradition of the yuletide, the friendly canine would suffice for now. Nasoweseeam.
