The stars and their cars turned out in force to give the spectators an incredible show at the Goodwood Revival. The sun made an all-too rare appearance on day one of the three-day extravaganza – and as can be seen from our gallery from Friday, the rest of the weekend promises to be fantastic.

I want to thank Darla Bailey, president of Kaleidoscope Inc., for hosting the Interim Joint Committee on Health and Welfare meeting on Sept. 19. Everything was wonderful, including the barbecue and chess pie. This visit gave the committee members a chance to see the services offered by Kaleidoscope and the many positive outcomes firsthand. I particularly enjoyed meeting with Kaleidoscope attendees and their families. They all appeared to be enjoying the carnival immensely.
Please accept my apology for the inappropriate actions of certain committee members. This was not the appropriate venue for staging a political statement on Gov. Beshear's actions. The proper venue would have been in Frankfort and would have involved prior notification of the discussion to be raised. Should the Health and Welfare Committee ever have the opportunity to visit Kaleidoscope again, I will make a concerted effort to see that nothing like this happens.
Again, I apologize for the bad manners of some of the Health and Welfare Committee members. Please extend my gratitude and regrets to your excellent staff.

In God's name
What in the name of God are we doing now in the name of God? After God created man, Cain killed Abel over some jealous notion of who God loved the most. Once that happened, mankind never looked back. Killing was sanctified as long as it was done in the name of a god. The Jews, Philistines, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, etc... all took turns calling on God to destroy their enemies as non-believers. Therefore gods rose and gods fell.
The gods may have changed but now we are better at killing in their names. The words of the Bible, Quran and the Torah have different meanings depending on who is doing the interpreting. So, which god is "The One?"
Is it the vengeful god of the Old Testament whose wrath is legendary - i.e. flooding the world, destroying cities, and doing the eye for an eye routine? How about the imams who torture and twist the words of the Quran to justify a jihad in Allah's name? Then there are the Christian/Catholic faithful who have launched conquest, crusades, inquisitions and now pray for Armageddon so their rapture can be hastened. That does not sound like the "love thy neighbor" or "do unto others" God.
I would like to think that hate, violence, and murder are not part of God's plan and those who say differently are the real heretics and blasphemers. All religions have their reckoning and rewards and I've been told God has a long memory. God is great in all religions and surely he/she/it is not pleased with the way we have squandered our blessings. So please, God, will you recall your self-professed zealots for updates and reprogramming? They are literally killing us in your name.

Downtown blues
At 7:45 a.m. last Sunday, I went to my front door in Old Louisville to pick up The Courier-Journal. I was shocked to see 3rd Street completely bare - no parked cars, no traffic. I asked a police officer parked nearby what was going on. The officer said the streets had been cleared for a marathon and agreed that the (vague) signs saying "No Stopping on Sunday" were few and far between. Our pickup truck, which had been parked on the street, was gone. We had moved the truck for street cleaning only last week, so I was not expecting another move so soon!
An officer parked at another corner was very rude, implying I was stupid for not knowing about the race. He claimed it'd been well publicized. The first officer had said that a large number of vehicles had been towed, so obviously I was not alone in my "ignorance." The newspaper listing the weekend's events made no mention of the race, although four other fund-raisers/walks were listed. A search of the CJ's website turned up an obscure mention of the Republic Bank Big Hit Half/Quarter Marathon in the "Around Kentuckiana" section but no mention was made of any street closings.
Third Street had few runners all day Sunday, perhaps because the event was more of a marketing ploy put on by JAM Active Event Planning than a legitimate fund-raiser. (What "portion" of the proceeds will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Kentuckiana," as cited on the event website?) I certainly am willing to endure street closings for legitimate events which showcase our neighborhood or city and which give proper notice. The St. James' Art Show, Derby Festival road races and Ford Ironman Triathlon involve thousands of participants and all provide extensive advance notice via media and mail.
However, I do resent the inconvenience and the use of city funds and personnel resulting from the road closing for an event like the one last Sunday. The city should be more judicious in issuing permits for street closings for major roads, especially when so many are inconvenienced for the benefit of so few. After this debacle, there clearly is a need for change. A few scattered "No Stopping" signs are not enough. Better notification of those affected should be a requirement of any permit involving street closings.

Mining is an increasingly technology-driven industry, providing engineers with an opportunity to make significant improvements in established processes and equipment — while also creating a new generation of mining capabilities.
Courtesy Liebherr.
Renewed emphasis on improving production, increasing safety, reducing energy usage and increasing environmental protection practices have only emphasized the need for engineers to develop better health and safety systems, improve the efficiency of mining machinery, and create more reliable and better controlled processes. Mining engineers are challenged to optimize exploration, drilling and extraction processes as well as to improve the contributions of lower-yielding mines.

Engineering simulation software from ANSYS has helped global mining leaders to develop, verify and implement specialized new technologies related to process innovation, operational efficiency, best practices, safety and sustainable development. For example, structural mechanics and explicit dynamics analysis tools from ANSYS have helped customers to perform mining equipment failure scenario studies. Engineers use numerical simulation to help identify the cause of failures and develop new designs that will prevent future failures — all in a relatively short time and without any risk to mining personnel.
Other mining industry customers have used software from ANSYS to model combustion and fire spread within mines, to optimize ventilation systems, to develop leading-edge equipment, to optimize mineral extraction processes and to design new pollution control systems.

@Hex: See you at 6pm.

Things continue to go great with the Adventure Girl. It's absolutely wonderful to have someone to really take on the world and to
do stuff
with - from clubbing to theatre to various adventures, with a healthy dose of just lazing around and watching movies or co-opping videogames. Thus far the match is stupefyingly good, which doesn't come easy for a challenging motherfucker like myself. I has a happy.
The new job has been very interesting and intense so far, and accommodating with my quirks, like the dive school. And speaking of which, it has been also all sorts of awesome.
Got pressurized
to five atmospheres in an old navy pressure chamber, next week we are going to take some samples from the bottom of the sea ice, and got to dick around the primary marine research vessel of Finland - and got nominated as the board member of the research divers' society while I was there, but since I'm technically not a diver nor a member of the organization, it has to wait for the next year. Going to the Red Sea to study reefs next month with the school. Not hating the idea.
Things are really looking up.
Stuck with the novel. Stuck, stuck, stuck. Going through the cycle where I don't really want to write a single word ever, and don't even want to see the book, but I know better than to swear off writing. I hope the cycle turns again and gets the words going.
Money, as usual, is still an issue for the next few months. The dive school and having to skip weeks of work doesn't really help. Just trying to be frugal and handle that shit somehow.
@oldhat: Congrats on your wild success in the wonderful world of beer, and the depression being on the wane!
@dork: Balls to that computer crap. Devil's machines...
@JP: Ooooh shit man, that's a bad hit with and no mistake :/ Any chance insurance will help on that?

unsurprisingly Vodka may be the answer here. Or even better everclear or other NGS. It is great for cleaning mould off of things (even helps foot odour), so give it a try on some of your lenses (obviously try it out on a cheap one first). Its a disinfectant and a great solvent so should work. Its one of the best glasses cleaners around so I would imagine it'll work well on lenses.
Good luck
Kay Orchison
Feb 11th 2013
Yeah, the problem with lens mould is when it blooms INSIDE the lens. Then the lens has to be dismantled in order to be cleaned. The labour costs involved are usually more than the lens is worth. I have had this experience myself. I am pretty good at disassembling and repairing things, even fiddly little things, but the one lens I ever tried DIY mould removal on was a goner.

The Boo: I've got to do a speech for Toastmasters tonight and I am busy rehearsing it and keeping nerves calm.
The Hurrah: I am off on a day trip tomorrow to visit a bird sanctuary called Owlcatraz! I'll be looking forward to putting up the photos on my Facebook.
@Vornaskotti: I know the feeling about getting stuck. There is an aspect of my own novel that really needs reworking and I am stuck. All I can do is keep the faith that my subconsious will come through and provide the answer. And there are always dreams. Did you know that when Stephen King got stuck at one point, he put his trust into his subconscious to provide the solution with a dream? Then he had the dream and it became the next scene he wrote. I hear you can even programme your subconscious to provide the answer when you get stuck.
Feb 11th 2013
Yeah, that's more or less my approach to creative things, got my
arse kicked
in an amusing way by my subconscious last summer. Unfortunately this isn't about figuring out some plot point or theme - just finding the time to do grueling re-reading and editing and re-reading and editing - with time pressure since the deadline has whizzed past...
Feb 11th 2013
Fuck everything.
Today, I went into the studio to find that someone had stolen all my intaglio matrices. My copper plates were gone for the print that took me half a fucking semester, that I didn't print a proper edition of, that I only have one proof of with creases in it. That proof is in a nice frame because it was in my big show at the big museum at the end of last year, which is nice and all, but right now I just feel like it reinforces that people liked the thing and now there's not an edition and I can't print any or try and sell any or do anything with it, when I could have maybe managed to do that if I had the plates. The stuff that was stolen in general is incomprehensible, and the only explanation we can figure is someone wanted to be an asshole. If they wanted to sell the copper for scrap, they would've taken the big shit other people had, not my little 8" by 10" awkward kissy face with hickies. Someone else left their plate out and it wasn't stolen and it was 5 times the size of mine for fucks sake. They also took a couple of old zinc plates, which are worth basically nothing. And boxes and tools and library books and cds from other people. My professor is trying to figure out how to get the room locked off without inconveniencing everyone, putting things on the cupboards so we can lock them, and telling us all to buy locks, but it's much too late. I've had paper, prints, and mylar be snagged before (this school year, of course), but at least those things made
to steal. I want to find out who did this so I can bash their skull in with a hammer.
I spent the rest of the day working on a piece, but after some conversation I feel like I can't really use it, and so I'm sort of stuck and I don't know what my next thing is going to be. And I wasted the whole day drawing a thing I can't use.
I was looking forward to a thing tonight that was feeding me, but then it was pizza. I'm so sick of pizza. College has made me hate the stuff. It's all anyone thinks people my age want, I swear. I know it's a little thing and I'm finding a cloud in a silver lining, but I don't care. Fuck pizza. The last time I chose to eat it, I spent the next couple of days throwing up and being unable to enjoy Christmastime, so that probably doesn't help my opinion of it. Try having little bits of peppers come up your throat for a day, and you might never want it again either.
All in all it's been a grumpy day. Which is fine, grumpy days happen. If it were just today, I might not even bother posting. But things have been aggravating all around lately. I have this mental block making me feel like I can't work on anything because there's just too much I have to do, which has led to me being behind on everything. I don't have time to work on my art stuff because of school, even though I'm supposed to be going to school for art. So because the deadlines are more consistent, I've put off my print class for my other 3 classes, even though I'm less enthused by them and I'm actually getting paid to work on my stuff for print this semester. I just don't have the energy to do this anymore. I need to be done with all the information being piled into my head for a minute so I can digest a tiny bit of it. I know what I want to do, at least as much as I need to, but I'm being pulled in too many directions to manage it. I'm used to being the 3.7 GPA Full tuition scholarship always master of all things school related, and I don't know what broke but I think that was a different person and I just got her life and memories at exactly the wrong time. I don't
to be that anymore because there's no scholarship to keep for next semester but it keeps nagging at me that I'm not. I don't even know if any of this paragraph makes sense, but it's perfectly appropriate if it doesn't. Nothing in my head makes sense right now. I need to get out of my head. I need to run away. But I'm stuck here until May.
I know I have it really good compared to a lot of people. Hell, I have it good compared to myself 4 months ago. I just need a rest.
Okay, maybe not everything is fucked.
I got asked to do a piece for a fancy art auction gala at the local Museum Of Contemporary Art (they really seem to like me there). It's one more thing to do, yeah, but it's one of those things that will count after school ends. My professor will let it count for credit for my print class, so that's helpful too. He was asked to contribute as well, but sort of scoffed at the email calling him "one of Utah's top artists" to begin with. I'm glad I can still appreciate things like that as much as I can. I'm one of Utah's top artists apparently, guys. That's pretty neat.
And, already briefly touched on this, I got that Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) grant/assistantship. Which means I'm getting paid to work on an art project. An art project which happens to correlate nicely with what I'm doing in my print class. The extra paycheck makes a big difference.
It's almost over. Less than 3 months.
@JP I am so sorry to hear about the mold. That really sucks.
@Oldhat Yay for the pub experience! I hope you get a job that you love before too long.

The Suck:
OB is back from jail, not yet back on his meds, without any money from the government, without any sense of having done anything wrong, with a load of plans for making money that we in the family do not want him to embark upon (medical studies wherein he doesn't take his prescribed meds but these other things that leave him more aggressive - or placebos), and a few ideas for how next to break his restraining order. And not one "thank you" to Mom for helping him out while he was in jail, for picking his ass up in the middle of the damned night, for putting him up, for feeding him, for buying him anything he thinks of.... Meanwhile I can't get through more than a sentence without wanting to scream. The only thing that keeps the label "raging asshole" from applying to him is that he is schizophrenic. Which doesn't really help me find the patience to deal with his crude, inconsiderate bullshit. (And I don't want to be excused from being patient. The last thing the world needs - especially my world is meeting assholery with assholery.)
Best friend has me worried. Deeply worried. Almost every one of the last handful of times we've gotten to hang out together she's jumped into a horrible mood and pushed everyone away. I'm hard to push away, just FYI, particularly the more concerned I am about someone. But her temper is starting to get to me. And that's different and new. It's different enough that I'm fazed by it, but also different in hmm...strength, maybe. And of course there's never a good time to mention it. Either the temper is going and if you say the slightest, mildest thing to her she'll come back with something like "I get it, I get it, I'm an evil bitch" or the temper will shortly be going because she doesn't want to talk about the bad times when things are going well. I know for a lot of people this kind of behavior just won't be tolerated, but I demand a lot of tolerance out of myself because I know when I'm going through hell it takes a lot to tolerate me. And because I am just guessing, but I truly suspect she's going through some sharp depression and doesn't have any good coping mechanisms. It's strange to think I know when she has something she wants to express by the way she demands people leave her alone... but hey, I consider her my best friend for a reason. We're alike in so many ways.
The Joy:
I am free of the fucking show! I feel a little bad about calling it "the fucking show" when it's actually quite a good show. It's just eaten my life and been extremely frustrating and the return was only barely there... So fuck it. I'm free. Nyah nyah.
There are about a million cookies on the table (Oh Girl Scout niece, you slay me) and it's Fat Tuesday. Oh hell yes.
Making some new friends here and there. On my way out of the theatre a few people stopped for hugs and photos. A pretty boy and drinking buddy gave me a hug. A girl I was crushing on a tiny bit mentioned that we should get coffee. After the theatre I ended up (through kismet and weirdness) with a free pass to a 24 hour Korean spa and a friend-of-a-friend for a guide. So we spent the next 6(!) hours sweating like mad in the hot saunas, freezing our bits in the ice sauna (up in the co-ed area) and then getting naked in the women-only section and wash, rinse repeat. I've never done that before. Kinda crazy, but really kind of rad. I'm not sure I'm convinced that it's a wonderful, perfect thing to do health-wise, but what the hell it was a lovely way to spend an evening. Got to know the guide much better and we're facebook friends (she's really kind of amazing, here in LA to apply to grad schools in between a long sojourn to India and film teaching gig in Beijing) and...ah what the hell she's very easy on the eyes.
Am in a weird place of noticing a lot of human beauty, male and female. And all around trying not to get caught staring at either one. I am bi, but usually swing one way or the other. At the moment I feel like I'm oscillating. Not that it matters, no one is approaching me so... Talking to the guide-turned friend I found myself revealing a little more about where I am with desires and for the first time in ages opened up to someone who isn't a close friend about how lonely I've been getting. It felt very much like turning my head up to the cosmos and pointing at a lack in my life and saying please help. Or may that was the dehydration....
@JP Man that sucks to loose pricey equipment... I really hope you can salvage something.
@Vorn Good on ya with the new lass - adventure girl. Heh sounds like good times.
@Fishelle I'm so sorry to hear about yet another theft. It doesn't make sense and it sounds like you're being targeted. That's serious badness... }:< People need get a damned hobby that isn't being a dick to you.
Feb 12th 2013
@Dork - that its fine on multiple restarts sounds like you have a motherboard issue. As you have applecare DP says just to keep taking it back and show them the pictures. He's fixed a few, and some were done under the QC programme but thats ended now for the issue :-(
It shouldn't be the water sensor (unless its actually gotten wet?) but that wouldn't produce these symptoms, (to any hint of wet, he says 'lalalalala not hearing that :-D' )
@JP I'd second vodka as good for dealing with mould. Also milton diluted in a spray bottle can be brilliant on all sorts of things.
Feb 12th 2013
@Littlepurplegoth, I'm taking this shit back, with pictures, as soon as I'm done with what I need my computer for this week.
@Fishelle, jesus fuck I would be STEAMING mad too. Ugh. Good goddamn. Sending you a ton of sympathy and hoping that, in this totally random universe in which we live, you luck out and have something awesome happen to you soon.

I hurt myself. I have pain. It was gravity and stupidity. My rib. Internal bruising. It'll go away but it's the sign of a fall. Strangely (and I mean that), it's almost EXACTLY IN THE SAME SPOT THAT MY MOM HAD A PAIN WHEN SHE HAD A FALL, A FEW WEEKS BEFORE SHE DIED. (It was at work, stupid, overreaching, stopped short on unyielding metal machinery. Trying to clean the baler. Foolish and I'm paying for it.)
The house is a MESS. Like a Roman siege. I have to clean it. No one else will do it. I have 99 problems and 1001 tasks. And the will to do them, injured? Uhhhh, not so much, no. Nonetheless, IT MUST BE DONE. SO GET TO WORK. Once I stop this typing thing.
... my pal is coming over to help me clean. Double the hands, half the work. He's also got a creative project that's gonna make y'all SHIT YOURSELVES INTO UNCONSCIOUSNESS, it is so good. We make this come off, sky's the limit. Scratch that, BEYOND OUR SOLAR SYSTEM is the limit.
Mah Ladyfrien'. We are becoming very close. We had a Valentine's Day together. It was VERY SPECIAL. I have not had a date for a proper Valentine's Day since Christ was a zygote. Since the Year Dot. Since FOREVER. My only fear is that I am some Special Project to her, an academic distraction that includes sexytimes, motivate this loser to ditch the bushel-basket that covers his light. I get the sense she expects more of someone "with my intellect", as she says. I dunno. We're taking it slow, which is The Way.
-Fishelle - SOMEONE did it. It was not "Teenagers". The Weed of Crime bears bitter fruit. Crime does Not Pay. What has happened is horrible.
- razr - hope it all works out, vis a vis OB. Yay for noticing beauty, wherever and whatever it may be.
- Dork - Still hating computers.
-Vorn - WRITE THE BOOK.
- aLL - Loving You Is Easy, Cause Your Beautiful.
@Warren - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Feb 21st 2013
- Self-worth issues are creeping up again. While the beer stuff has been good lately, I'm feeling like I'm severely lacking in what I'm writing about and how far I go in to things with my research. Plus among beerfolk I haven't quite been feeling like "one of the guys" lately, only keeping things good in work-related situations but otherwise not being a person beerfolk would regularly hang out with...feh.
- Getting concerned about my eating habits. While the quality of the food varies, I don't really tend to step above 5-600 calories a day. Reason being because my stomach just...can't handle much. Even a bite of bread makes me nauseous nowadays. Will be seeing the doctor about it at some point.
- Counselling probably isn't going to happen. I can never reach the intake people in the small time window they provide and by the looks of things, I won't be able to get the time off work to go anyways. Plus considering the waitlist (3-6 months) I have no clue what my schedule will be like.
- Valentine's Day was nice. And I got called "sweetheart" by the one person who makes my heart flutter when they call me that.
- So much free beer. Including a reader bringing me back a bottle of New Holland's Dragon's Milk Stout, which I fell in love with in Chicago last year.
- Awesome and patient friends are being awesome and patient. Am getting pretty regular messages telling me how awesome I am (I'm looking at you, dork, Fishelle and Hex) and they've been sinking in. Also looking forward to the Whitechapel meet-up/Hex's Birthday Bash this Saturday. Although my social skills are dulled a bit, I do love those folk.
- Bottled my beer over the weekend. We'll see how it is in a couple of weeks. Can definitely say that the Chamomile came through.
- Am studying to be a
Cicerone Certified Beer Server
(Cicerone is basically the beer version of a Sommelier). The way I see it, I'm learning this stuff anyways, might as well have the knowledge go towards something that will give me a little more credibility and better access to jobs within the industry.
@hex, see you soon. :)
@Fishelle, I want to find whoever stole those and do...very horrible and creative things to them. Argh. BUT! Glad that you're getting an additional paycheque. :)
@raz, I know what that's like...I have quite a few friends who mean the world to me who deal with things by pushing away. Even to a point where the only way I can check in on them is by checking the obituaries to make sure they aren't on there. It's really tough, but...they get out of the patches if only for a little while. Sounds like you're doign the best thing by being there for her.
Feb 23rd 2013
Hello whitechappel, imma step out of the shadows.
The good:
Really quite a bit. Job going well. It turns out I like being a manager and they seem to really like me being a manager. Working this closely with other people highlights how dang good I am at the technical bits of my job, which strangely gives me more confidence when I'm facing something I feel clueless about (which is pretty much what doing support is).
The kid's doing great. I moved into my own place a few months back which is good and bad, but mostly good. If I get a bonus next month, I'll probably be able to pay off one of the major sources of debt in my life. I'll probably fall a bit short of the goal to pay off 100% of the debt my ex-wife left me in within 5 years, but at this rate, I'll be damn close.
Also, after 3.5 years I finally put my album out in January.
You can haz listen here.
The bad:
The job has way more responsibility and pressure. That means the time I'd spend decompressing during the day (say, checking in with you people) is gone. The move makes this worse. I get up at 6 am, get the kid ready, arrive in the office around 9ish, work 'til 4:30, pick the kid up, dinner, bedtime, dishes (oh, for the decadence of a dishwasher), back online to work for another half-hour to an hour and next thing I know, it's after 10pm, I'm exhausted, and need to do it all over again tomorrow. Most nights, I just pass out. Occasionally I twitter on my phone during long conference calls and what not, but I'm always 24-48 hours behind so feel silly chiming in most of the time.
The love life is a dud at the moment. I seem to go on plenty of first dates that just fizzle. The good news is once I would have worried "what's wrong with me?" now I'm just kind of bummed that it's so hard to find mutually interesting people.
The supersexy:
@oldhat - If those canadian beer guys don't want you to be one of them they are either clueless, douches, or clueless douches. Put me down for Robin is awesome.
@mister hex - Tell me more of this Lady Friend business. Sounds lovely. Good on ya'!
@razrangel - I hope things work out with/for your brother. I know he's been a challenge for you in the past. Wouldn't it be great if we, as a society, took care of our mentally ill? Thanks Reagan!
@Fishelle - Thieving thieves fucking fuckers <insert ragehate words in duplicate for a bit more>. I kind of know some of what you're going through. During my divorce my ex told me she had to throw away "a box of old notebooks that got water damaged" (I.E. almost everything I wrote in college). Assholing assholes!
OK. Too many people... skipping a bit...
@Vorn - If you haven't yet, get the hand looked at.
@roo - hope the new meds are helping and that stepdad's getting help.
@flecky - keep doin' it man. Can't let those bastards win! (where those bastards is everyone... myself included. Fucking wanker that last one!)
@taphead - Nice guitar! How much does a taphead original go for? What's it sound like? <covet>
@ALL - I missed you. Keep being awesome. Someone's got to.

I just got my first ebook uploaded at Amazon!
Feb 24th 2013
Hey there everyone.
Wow, it's been a long time since I last came on here. It's all been so... hectic and stuff. But I suppose it's best to get stuff unloaded on here. get back in the swing of things.
- Well since I was last on here, I've started my own club night based on my blog,
Reykjavik Sex Farm
! Yes, after hearing a never-ending stream of shitty house music and bright pretty young things just sucking the life out of the place with their vacuousness, I have made the move to get some proper music in people's ears. the first night happened a couple of weeks ago and it was very well turned out. Lots of UK funky and grime music, although it was a bit of a sausage fest. but hey, no one died and that is the important thing. Next month we go full on Goth!!
- After having some mental health problems towards the end of 2012 that i mentioned in my last missive (Anxiety, Depression, etc...), I managed to book in with a psychologist. I'm not 100% if it's going to sort out all of my issues. I spend most of my session getting in huge barely controllable rants about how fucked up EVERYTHING is, but he does seem to understand and he at least has been trying to get my find techniques to calm down... a little.
- Had a very well known local musician come up to me at SONAR last week to say that the stuff I was doing was "So important" and should not give up. that was nice.
- Still no sign of a baby. I know it has been getting Sigga even more down than usual as it seems that everyone we know is either pregnant or just had a child, even those who had little chance of getting pregnant. So starting in April, we're going on IVF, which in Iceland (As with everywhere else)costs a small fortune. Which means that it will be rather unlikely we'll be going to the USA this year as planned.
- Feel rather heavy and unfit right now. This is mainly my fault in that I'm not managing my time really well. Plus I'm still not sleeping well. meaning that I'm pretty much knackered when I finish at my work. Plus, still probably eating too much crap and drinking too much as well.
- Personally still pretty much a walking time-bomb of rage. For example, I asked my boss a question a few days ago about another co-worker, only to find myself getting so angry during the conversation that I almost punched him. And it was a pretty innocuous question too! I really need to try and get this anger issue thing sorted. Also got into a rather nasty argument at SONAR last weekend with a couple of musician cousins who really hate the paper I write for and were spouting half baked, ignorant ideas on music and what makes good music writing (They said a local writer was really great because "He does, like, loads of research on wikipedia and everything!"). I should have ignored their stuff but they have a habit of pressing my buttons and I just started shouting that they were parochial insular fools and almost screamed at them to get fucked. thankfully my friend who knew us all calmed me down to the point where i simply mumbled "You may have a valid point." God i hate the groupthink on this bloody Island.
The funny thing is that I don't go round threatening to beat up people, but it´s just that every time I get angry, I almost hulk out to epic proportions and it's starting to look bad.
So yeah, I'm doing some good things, but I'm kicking myself almost every-step of the way. But i suppose it's just the continuing struggle of existence eh'
@SELLMEYOURSOUL - Congrats on the release. You sent me some of your msuic to check out didn't you? And I never got back to you which was really bad of me. It's that whole hectic thing to be honest. But this looks and sounds good. Well done.
@OLDHAT - I get the whole self worth thing. My mate says that no one like a concert promoter with low self esteem issues (Um... cheers for that!), but if there's anyone on here that is worth a damn, then it's you, OK? Start cock punching life till it give you what you want!
@FISHELLE - man getting your stuff nicked sucks so hard through the arsehole of existence.
@JANOS - second. WRITE THAT BLOODY BOOK!!
and hugs and more hugs to everyone on here. I will try not to drift away so long this time...

Vas birthday. Yesterday. I am 39+4! Hooray!
Saw fellow Whitechapel folk and had a SMASHING time. Pizza, beer, comics, good talk and fun. I thank Whitechapel for enriching my life, once again.
Robin is so sexy, she'd punch me if I told you how sexy she is. (Having survived being punched by her, I can only say that I have absolutely no interest in ever being punched by her ever again.)
Greasemonkey is my Road Dawg. Lucien rides shotgun. Or drives, while he cradles the shotgun. Whatever's clever.
Ladyfriend Business goes swimmingly. Met her parents and they didn't take one look at me and chuck me out into the cold Canadian street. They didn't even take two looks. Her dad shook my hand and I could see he was pleased with my grip and the fact I called him 'sir'. Her mom thinks I'm cute. *swoon* Brought her grapes and a plant, as she's recovering from minor surgery. She's THIS CLOSE from TOTALLY falling in love with me. I still got it! Whatever it is!
Still crushed by depression, still procrastinating, still a useless bastard. Uphill battle to rouse myself to action. NO TIME! When I think of all the time I've wasted doing fuck-all, I GET EVEN MORE DEPRESSED.
I worry that the LadyFriend is using me as a distraction. Then I see her texts and am in her presence and I worry no more. Until I do. Vicious fucking cycle that I am bound to break, mark my words.
In two weeks, less, even? Four months since my mom died. This was my first birthday Without Her. Crying now. No, I just got something in my eye, I'll be fine ...
@SELL- Fuckin' A!
@Bob - Fuckin' A Bob! You realize we in Canada think you're awesome? We in Canada ARE VERY AWESOME so if WE think YOU are awesome ... says something, dunnit?
@OLDHAT - hey, there/ sexy girl!/ Drinking all the beer/ don't punch me please!
@everyone who's name I've forgotten - KEEP CALM AND BE AWESOME.
Feb 25th 2013
Bad: Last few days felt un-productive etc. No drive, no energy etc not getting anything done. Happens every so often. I'm feeling a lot better now, not entirely sure why.
Good: See above, I've recouped some of my animus. Went to London Super Comic Con got some stuff very good. And of course Going to the smoke tomorrow to see Uncle Warren.
See some of you there, I guess. I shall endeavour to make some sort of name tag.
Support: Hang in there guys.
Feb 28th 2013
Here goes: I've been living in a bubble of safety in the sticks for the last six months, and when I visited London the other day it was an assault to the senses that left me shaking; it just made me finally realize how vulnerable I am.
I've only got 5 days left here in rehab, and most people are saying I should hang around here. My head is a minefield of indecision - to the point that I sometimes feel unfunctionable. I never thought I would say it, but getting clean is really the easy bit.
I'd best not break the laws of Whitechapel, but I'm emotional as hell.
The plan, so far, is to return to my flat, do it up, go on a day programme, and utterly annihiliate the rooms of N.A. I've got no family to help me, no partner, so I'm going to have to be a man alone at times.
Fuck - gotta go. Take care!

Dammit, Flecky. I just found the postcards I bought for you. I was about to ask if you'd still be at your away place, but now you're leaving. You'll have to send me your new/old address.
There's new medical stuff. Which is hopeful, but not. (The full description is
) The gist is that I just got oodles of testing done, and started on a new medication. The medication might be making me hurt a lot more, but that might mean that it's working, which might mean that might have a diagnosis. It's a lot of mights.
BAD: I fucking hurt really fucking bad, and I my doctor has pretty much told me I have brain damage.
GOOD: I also have pain medication! Yay! I'm also being sent to Florida in a few days to photograph a performance artist and then model in latex for fetish photography. I love that I just stumbled into this.
BAD: I stumble into everything and I've been realizing that I've never really TRIED at anything concrete. One can only have a single fixed goal at a time, I suppose, and mine for the past 17 years has been getting myself diagnosed, fixing my waning vision and waning limb control, and not hurting. Everything else has fallen by the wayside.
GOOD: I might be almost diagnosed and stable.
BAD: I need to figure out what, aside from health, I actually want in my life. And that's terrifying.

- Roll out the pastry and use it to line a 23cm tart ring, then chill for at least 20 mins. Heat oven to 180C/fan160C/gas 4. Line the tart with baking parchment and baking beans, then bake for 15 mins. Remove the parchment, bake for a further 5-10 mins until golden, then remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1.
- While the case is cooking, cut the passion fruits in half, scoop out the flesh into a bowl, then blitz with a hand blender. Push the pulp through sieve and mix the juice with the lime zest and juice. Beat the sugar and yolks together until pale, then beat in the cream and fruit juice. Carefully pour the custard into the tart case, then bake for 40 mins, until set with a very slight wobble. Remove the tart from the oven, then leave to cool completely.
- You can now either serve the tart as it is, or try a chef's tip and dust it with icing sugar, then caramelise the top with a blowtorch.

Comments, questions and tips
This tart is absolutely delicious! I made the pastry from scratch with some sesame and poppy seeds - the texture of the pastry went perfectly with the passionfruit custard. Also reduced the sugar and thicken cream so that it would be healthier. Click on the link below for the recipe
100% delicious. I made lots if little individual tarts, put more passionfruit in as per suggestions below and made little meringue nests with the spare egg whites. Put some whipped cream in the meringue, made some passionfruit syrup by mixing water and sugar and passionfruit pulp and bringing to the boil. I drizzled the syrup over the meringue and mini tarts. So, so good.
This is gorgeous, I made it sunday for pudding and only changed the fact I made my own pastry using John Torrodes version he made in the Prune and Armangnac tart. I think this would be even more fabulous by using up some of those egg whites and making a meringue topping and just whipping it back in the oven for a few mins to brown, as long as you cover the filling completely and let it cool down before you add the meringue to the tart it should workmmmmm
I have made this several times and it is always impressive and very popular. I have made it as little individual tarts as well as the big one. When I have caramelised the top I have done it under the grill putting silver foil over the pastry edges so as not to blacken them, it works excelently. A great dinner party dish works every time.
This is a wonderful dessert - really light and tasty. I wouldn't change the ingredients or quantities at all! I usually make it one or two days before serving, to let the flavours develop. The key is to ensure that the pastry is not cracked or broken, otherwise the liquid filling will pour through the cracks and make the base soggy.
If you want a hard crunchy topping, brulee the tart just before serving. If you brulee it a few hours beforehand, it will go soft (but it still looks pretty!).
This was amazing!!!! Seriously.
I used a ready made asda special pastry case as i had guests, but you could use the regular pastry case for 59p to make it cheaper.
As i didnt have a hand blender i used 10 passionfruits and pushed them through a sieve with the pestle for a pestle and mortor.
I six friends for dinner and they all loved it. I didnt caramalise the top but next time i might make the eggs into a merangue as this had the texture of a lemon one.
It didnt rise much at all in the oven so dont be afriad of filling the pastry case.
Hey Barney thanks for the help but I forgot to check this page again before I went ahead and made it! I used pineapple pulp in the end (because mangoes just seemed too expensive lol) and it came out absolutely amazing. Would recommend to everyone! It's lovely and sweet and tangy, and the custard is a little meringue-like. I've even been asked to make it again and gladly will. For someone who struggles with custard tarts (numerous disastrous attempts) this is just so easy! :)

Well, my friends, after countless stops at out-of-the-way liquor stores in parts unknown in search of that elusive bottle of rare bourbon, I just scored big in, of all places, a shop catering to winos in Altadena, California. Yeah, crack me up.
I found three bourbons there that are no longer made: Hill and Hill, as well as Sunny Brook, both straight bourbons formerly bottled by Jim Beam, (the Sunny Brook trademark survives as a blended whiskey only), but, on a greasy back shelf was a bottle of Cream of Kentucky.
I'll fire up the digital camera soon, but sitting here on the table right now is a quart of CREAM OF KENTUCKY straight bourbon whiskey. I kid you not. I'm still researching this find, but according to Buffalo Trace, this was one of Col. Blanton's original premium brands. BT web page
It may not have been bottled since the 1980s. web page
I've really got to get the digicam going, 'cuz this a real wonder. The front and back labels are heart-shaped and the bottle is molded with a heart shape in which the front label sits, too. I know my description doesn't do it justice.
This, my friends, is the whiskey that Walker Percy sipped from his flask in the stands during the NC-Duke game while sitting next to the co-ed of his dreams and which is memorialized in his infamous BOURBON story.
web page
And this is the bourbon for which Norman Rockwell drew numerous ads.
I'd love to hear from any of you who can help me identify the origin of this bottle of Cream of Kentucky. It bears a revenue stamp numbered 742214010 and is labeled as follows:
"Cream of Kentucky Distilling Co., Lawrenceburg, IN, Frankfort, KY, & Fresno, CA."
I'd be interested in any information concerning this bottle of 80 proof "DOUBLE RICH FROM THE HEART OF BLUE GRASS" BOURBON. To that end, I'll post digicam pics as soon as I can.

VICCO, Ky. (WYMT) - It is a first for any city in Eastern Kentucky. The Vicco City Council in Perry County voted three to one Monday to approve a law that protects gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people from discrimination.
The measure will prohibit discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations. Vicco is the fourth Kentucky city after Lexington, Louisville and Covington to approve an LGBT fairness law.
"With the signal, Vicco is saying no one should be denied a job, a place to live, or be able to go out to a restaurant in their home town and be denied service. We're going to treat everyone the same," said Michael Aldridge, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky.
While support of Vicco's new fairness law is not universal, people we talked to say they think it is generally a good idea.
"I think everyone should have rights, regardless of sexuality or whatever they may do. They still need to be treated equal," said Vicco native William Neace.
"We're all humans and have to live together, so I think it's good if we all treat each other like humans," said Glenn Jones, who lives in Hindman and supports the law.
"There's so much discrimination, and I believe that gays, lesbians and everybody to that effect needs the same opportunity as everybody else does," said Lula Gibson, another Vicco native.
Civil rights advocates say Vicco is just the first in a long line of small towns that are beginning to take up the equality issue, but city officials are quick to downplay the significance. They say the anti-discrimination law is just one of many positive things the mayor and commissioners are working on.
Statewide fairness bills have been introduced in the House and Senate for the 2013 session of the General Assembly. According to one survey, 83 percent of Kentuckians support anti-discrimination protections for members of the LGBT community.

A Monroe County Sheriff's Office deputy dressed as the Grinch handed out onions instead of tickets to drivers speeding outside a Florida Keys elementary school.
Lou Caputo, bureau chief at the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, dressed as the character outside Stanley Switlik Elementary School Monday afternoon.
Armed with a radar gun, Caputo doled out about 10 onions to drivers who were speeding but going less than 5 mph above the speed limit in the school zone.
Caputo has worn the Grinch costume almost every holiday season since seeing actor Jim Carrey in the 2000 movie of the same name.
Caputo usually gives drivers the choice of taking the onion or receiving the ticket. Nine times out of 10, they take the onion.

Purdue head coach Matt Painter on the sideline against Michigan State inside Mackey Arena, in West Lafayette, on Saturday, February 9, 2013.
- Filed Under
One conversation between Purdue's Matt Painter and Rick Giles, president of the Gazelle Group which organizes the 16-team College Basketball Invitation tournament, was enough to convince the coach a CBI postseason bid was worth accepting.
On Monday, Painter detailed his reasoning for Purdue becoming the first Big Ten Conference team in the CBI's six-year history to accept a bid. Most CBI teams, according to Painter, are in a position of feeling like they have yet to reach their goals for 2012-13.
Having participated in six consecutive NCAA tournaments, Painter said the Boilermakers ...

Cloud computing is a term used to describe computing services delivered by a third party over the Internet rather than the university's own computing resources. Examples of cloud computing services include:
- Amazon Cloud Drive
- Dropbox
- Google Gmail/Google Docs/Google Drive
- Microsoft Live
Some of these services may prove to be promising additions to the university's current technology mix; however, cloud computing services can create considerable liabilities for the university and must be approved before use.
The university is ultimately accountable for the privacy and security of its data, regardless of whether that data is stored on campus or with a cloud computing service. Only a few individuals within the university are authorized to enter into contracts for cloud computing services. This includes the "click through" agreements we all see when signing up for a third-party email or document storage service, such as Gmail or Dropbox.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a "free" online cloud service that does not cost the University any money to share my data?
A: Although the online service is touted as "free", all of these "free" services have what are considered to be terms and conditions for use (T&Cs). These are sometimes referred to as click wraps or click agreements. Many of the T&Cs have contractual language that conflict with University and State of NC policies and laws. Accepting the T&Cs of these online services is a violation of ECU's regulation on Delegation of Authority to Sign Contracts which is found at http://www.ecu.edu/PRR/01/10/01 and Delegation of Contracting Authoriity which is found at http://www.ecu.edu/attorney/delegation.cfm. Check with Materials Management if you have questions on accepting T&Cs for any University services or products.
Q: Am I allowed to store work files on Gmail, Dropbox or another third-party service in the cloud? I work from home and at many different locations as part of my job.
A: NO! ECU data must NOT be stored external to ECU with cloud computing service providers without proper authorization. ECU email must be used to conduct official ECU business. Piratedrive can be used to store ECU documents, while ECU Outside is good for sharing non-sensitve documents with non-ECU collaborators. Follow the Sensitive Data Guidelines and obtain data owners' approval before sharing sensitive information with external collaborators. Contact the IT Help Desk at 252.328.9866 for assistance.
Q: Does this also include research documents (no PII or sensitive data included) and other project files (journal editing and reviewing notes, for example) shared with non-ECU collaborators?
A: All of us must consider the security of ECU information and the university's ability to retrieve all ECU data. Therefore, ECU data should remain in the custody of ECU employees. If the researcher has approval to share ECU data with external collaborators, then he/she must still follow security and compliance requirements to protect that information.
Also, if research involves human subjects, researchers must follow the security controls listed in the IRB submission and should only share that data with the individuals listed in the IRB documentation. Please contact the Office of Human Research Integrity (OHRI) at 252.744.2914 for assistance.
Q: How do I access my Piratedrive storage?
A: See the Piratedrive website for information on accessing your storage folder on or off campus, requesting a department Piratedrive folder, setting permissions for others to access your folder and more.
Q: I need to collaborate with someone outside of ECU.
A: One solution is to request a folder on the ECU Outside FTP server or to request a SharePoint site. Either of these solutions allow non-ECU users to access. Be sure to follow appropriate sensitive data guidelines.
Q: Where can I store student grades?
A: Student grades should only be stores on ECU-owned resources. We recommend student grades be stored in Blackboard or on Piratedrive. More information can be found at http://blog.ecu.edu/sites/blackboard/blog/2012/04/09/ferpa-student-records-blackboard-gradebook-downloading-to-spreadsheet/
Q: I have a free cloud application that automatically syncs the files on my office computer to the files on my home computer. What does ECU offer that provides this type of service to eliminate the manual upload of files from Piratedrive to my home computer?
A: ECU data should NOT be stored on your personal home computer. Any ECU files that you need to access while you are away from campus should be stored on your personal or departmental Piratedrive. Using an ECU provided secure connection (VPN), you can map a drive to your Piratedrive and access your files from any computer and any location. The connection to your data is secure and you don't have to worry about having multiple copies and versions.
Q: I am a member of a non-ECU professional organization that shares documents via Dropbox. The professional organization consists of members from across the country. None of the information from this organization pertains to or belongs to ECU. Is it ok for me to use Dropbox for this purpose?
A: As long as you are not representing ECU, acting on behalf of ECU, or storing ECU data for this purpose, it is permissible for you to use Dropbox for your personal use.
Apple's co-founder Steve Wozniak warns that the cloud will cause issues in the coming years in the wake of the Apple iCloud breach. He states, "With the cloud, you don't own anything. You already signed it away…the more we transfer everything onto the web, onto the cloud, the less we're going to have control of it." Read more about the security breach and Wozniak's comments.

There is about 25 games to go in the NBA season, which means the MVP debate is only two months old. Who's gonna get it? LeBron? Kobe? Marko Jaric? I say Robert Horry, even though he's scored 83 points total on the season. And it doesn't have anything to do with him being part of a dominating frontcourt for my fantasy basketball team in 1993. Here's the real deal:
- As of the middle of last week, when Horry plays in an NBA game his teams are 736-359. Average that over an 82-game season, and you've got a 55-27 season. Not too shabby. And, yes, I went through all 1095 games. Thanks, Basketball-Reference.com!
- Having him on your team gives you a 47% shot at winning the title. Fifteen years, seven rings -- and that doesn't count his Spurs team this year that has as good a shot of anyone of winning (on a seperate note, I hate the Spurs -- but that's for another post).
- He has more PLAYOFF wins in his career (147) than the Knicks have REGULAR SEASON wins in the last five seasons (145).
- None of Horry's past teams (Rockets, Suns, Lakers) have won an Association Finals after getting rid of him. He's like a Bambino Curse dressed up as Will Smith's doppelganger.
Now, you may have arguments such as, "But Max, the guy has averaged seven points for his career! He has more career fouls than assists! How can you do this?" Think of it as a lifetime achievement award for a journeyman. You don't have to like him. Hell, I don't anymore.
Just remember that having Big Shot Bob holding down the end of your bench is like having a goddamn horseshoe-shaped rabbit's foot jammed up your ass. And, yes, I know I already posted these fascinating numbers on the fantasy basketball message board. Gotta get mileage out of the material, homes.
Tomorrow: The anti-Horry, and what seperates the two...aside from a manure-pile of victories.

Three years from now, West Muskingum elementary students might be sitting in a new school.
The new building will replace Falls and Hopewell elementary schools, which, frankly, are "antiquated facilities that are very costly to maintain," said West Muskingum Schools Superintendent William Harbron.
The district does its best to keep the facilities in as good of shape as possible, Harbron said, but it seems every day one building or the other needs a "Band-Aid." ...

The only cocktail I have barrel aged is Manhattans. I find (like so many others) it really rounds out the drink - takes the edges off.
I also barrel aged some Captain Morgan for 30 days. It really changed the flavor and I could really taste the oak. It was interesting and not something I did a second time... if you catch my drift.
So I'm getting ready to barrel my first batch. The barrel has been full of water for the past few days and is good to go. I've picked the vermouth - Carpano Antica. I'm thinking about blending HWRR with a little Handy - any thoughts on this? Angostura, Fee Brother Whisky Aged and Fee Brothers Cherry bitters. Looking forward to the results!
I barreled a 2 liter Manhattan recipe and a 1 liter Negroni recipe yesterday. Now the waiting begins. I used my personal favorite recipes. I figure I can tweak them along the way or when I prepare a drink.
30 oz High West Rendezvous Rye
8 oz Thomas Handy Rye
13 oz Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth
2 oz Angostura Bitters
.5 oz Fee Brothers Whiskey Aged Bitters
.5 oz Fee Brothers Cherry Bitters
10 oz Hendricks Gin
10 oz Carpano Antica
10 oz Campari
"A man can take a little bourbon without getting drunk, but if you hold his mouth open and pour in a quart, he's going to get sick on it."
For some reason, I just couldn't resist doing this... Just had a ball filling my 1L barrel with a Vieux Carre...I am with no doubt, easily entertained...Now, I wait.
BTW, the main 3 were: Ri1, Ferrand Ambre, and Vya.
Wag more.
Bark less.
"Every bottle is its own learning experience." -- Sensei Ox-sama
I am officially a fan. I bottled my recipes and they are simply delicious. Lots of oak mixed with a Manhattan flavor that is very balanced and integrated. Unlike anything I've ever had. Love it.
Just barreled another recipe. Willet Rye, Punt e Mes and Angostura. Now I wait... with a Manhattan from Batch #1!

Officials in Oklahoma are objecting to a plan for Fort Sill to temporarily house hundreds of unaccompanied young immigrants who entered the country illegally.
The Defense Department is loaning training barracks facilities at Fort Sill to the Department of Health and Human Services to house the children, Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Steve Warren confirmed in a statement Monday. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has approved the use of Fort Sill for up to 120 days in anticipation of their arrival this week.
On Friday, Gov. Mary Fallin, faulted the Obama administrations immigration policy as promoting illegal immigration and calling the move, the latest in a long line of policy missteps.
While they have assured my office this arrangement is temporary, the Obama administration continues to fail in its duty to protect our borders and continues to promote policies that encourage, rather than discourage, illegal immigration, Fallin, a Republican, said in a statement released Friday.
On June 2, the president ordered the Department of Homeland Security to establish a group to deal with the influx of unaccompanied children crossing the southwest border. The Federal Emergency Management Agency was chosen to lead federal efforts to provide relief to the affected children.
The latest government estimates anticipate 60,000 unaccompanied minors will arrive in the country this year, up from 6,560 in fiscal year 2011. Among the latest influx are growing numbers of girls and children under 12.
More than 90 percent of those sheltered by the government are from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, many driven north by pervasive violence and poverty in their home countries, the Associated Press reported. Many are escaping abuse or persecution, others are fleeing criminal gangs and violence, some are victims of trafficking or abandonment, and others seek to reunite with their families in the United States, AP reported.
When intercepted by authorities, such children are held in agency-contracted shelters while a search is conducted for family, a sponsor or a foster parent who can care for them through their immigration court hearings, where many will apply for asylum or other special protective status. The program is overseen by the federal Department of Health and Human Services.
Officials with Fallins office said Friday it was informed by a regional Department of Homeland Security official that the post was being considered to house up to 1,200 unaccompanied minors who illegally crossed the southern border of the United States.
On Monday morning, the Defense Department said Fort Sill was readying to accommodate 600 children, making it the third DoD installation HHS is using this way. Some 1,200 children are under HHSs care at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, and Naval Base Ventura County in California. All told, the DoD facilities can accommodate 2,375 children.
Warren said DoDs priority is to help the agency provide safe and secure temporary facilities for unaccompanied children.
Our support is limited to the loan of vacant facilities, and this effort has no impact on DODs ability to conduct its primary missions, he said.
The facilities will include beds, showers and office space. HHS representatives supervise the children and provide education and recreational opportunities until they can be reunited with families or placed in foster care.
Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., ranking member of Senate Armed Services Committee, was among Oklahoma lawmakers who criticized the president. He said it was a misuse of military facilities.
Our nation has an immigration problem and a national security crisis, but I dont believe the answer is for our military facilities to be transformed into a center that houses, feeds, and cares for illegal immigrants, Inhofe said in a statement.
Acknowledging the average child in this pool would be between 13 and 17, Inhofe sounded the alarm over the move, saying it, it exposes our military facilities to unknown security concerns.

I am slowly exploring foobar and all its wonders...here is my question:
Is it possible to control what each view option displays?
Situation: I have a column with sort by artist/album in the view window. This column duly displays this info, together with the year of the album, and, occasionally, other info which I guess is part of the album tag. I would like the column to display just the names of the artists and albums without the rest...possible?
Thanks. Be gentle - i am learning as I go.

It might be better if you posted a screenshot of your config so that it's easier to assist you. I suspect what you're describing is the Album List (or perhaps Album List Panel). The settings for both are located at Preferences > Media Library, and both make use of title formatting to configure what they display.
The following are some of the strings you could possibly use to obtain what you want by creating a new view:
%album artist% - %album%
%album artist%[ - %album%]
[%album artist%[ - %album%]]
%album artist%|%album%
%album artist%[|%album%]
[%album artist%[|%album%]]
Each is subtly different in appearance but do differ in what they return and how that which is returned is displayed. It's a good idea to learn the title formatting I linked to above if you are going to use foobar as title formatting is used extensively.
You also might want to read the foobar2000 wiki. It's not up to date, but it will allow you to learn how to use foobar more or less and familiarize yourself with the terminology used.

HERR, LEMP LEAD AT 3-UNDER-PAR 69 AT AJGA NORTHEAST OPEN Hu leads the Girls Division by one stroke at Richter Park Golf Course
DANBURY, Conn. - Zachary Herr of New Hope, Pa., and Brendan Lemp of West Hartford, Conn., each sit in first place by one stroke at the AJGA Northeast Open. Bonnie Hu of Fremont, Calif., posted three birdies en route to finish 2-over-par 74 Tuesday to enter the second round in the lead at Richter Park Golf Course.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the AJGA Northeast Open is a 54-hole stroke play event held at Richter Park Golf Course. The 99 player field features players from 17 states, Canada, Columbia and South Korea. The Boys Division is playing the par-72 course at 6,607 yards, while the Girls Division is playing it at 5,994 yards.
Herr, who finished second last week at the CorseMax/Philadelphia Runner Junior after a one hole playoff. Herr carded not a single bogey to finish 2-under-par 34 on the front nine and 1-under-par 35 on the back nine.
"The hole location on No. 5 was in a tough spot," Herr said. "I hit to the front of the green, then putted to the back of the green. I then dropped a 20-foot putt to save par."
Herr gained a boost of confidence after making a great approach shot on No. 12.
"On No. 12 I hit my drive to the left rough. My next shot went to the right of the trees," Herr said. "I missed my putt but my approach shot to three feet from the hole built my confidence for the rest of the round."
Lemp, who gained entry in to the tournament through the K12 Qualifier Sunday posted birdies on Nos. 2, 4, 8 , 9, 12, 15 and 18 to finish 3-under-par 69.
"On No. 12 I made a 30 foot putt for birdie," Lemp said. "I made a lot of long putts and mostly all my putts that were within 10-feet."
Lemp felt the course played tough today and the greens were fast and firm but was able to only card 28 putts to take a share of the lead.
Tied in third at 2-under-par 70 is Daniel Berger of Jupiter, Fla., and Sean Gaudette of South Hadley, Mass. Rounding out the top five in the Boys Division is Jeff Wibawa of Encino, Calif., at 1-under-par 71.
Hu played steady and putted well to make birdies on Nos. 3, 11, and 17 to post 1-over-36 on the front nine and back nine.
"On No. 2 I hit a 30 foot putt for birdie," Hu said. "I sunk a lot of 5-6 foot putts for par."
Daniela Lendl of Brandenton, Fla., is in second at 3-over-par 75. Crystal Lee of Mahwah, N.J., and Ellen Ceresko of Jefferson Township, Pa., are tied in third after posting first round score of 5-over-par 77.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Randy Brock. / Free Press file
To what extent should a reporter intrude into the personal life of a candidate? When Vermont Sen. Randy Brock, R-Swanton, picked up the phone earlier this week at home, the conversation quickly eased into candid informality.
Burlington Free Press: Have you ever tried raw (i.e. unpasteurized) milk?
Randy Brock: No.
BFP: Would you accept a glass (with the cookie of your choice) from a neighboring dairy farmer?
RB: Thats a good question. I know that clearly theres considerable controversy as to the safety of raw milk. The medical authorities, the health department, the CDC, all say that its a singularly bad idea and that its not a question of if, but when, it will be an illness or a death that results. That makes me very wary of raw milk.
On the other hand, there is the issue of personal freedom. Government cant make decisions for everybody as to what they do and dont do. Government can inform people of the risk, and then let them make their own decision.
BFP: So in your case?
RB: In my case, I would not. But I dont necessarily bar others from making that choice. Now, clearly when that choice extends to giving it to children, I am concerned.
Domestic and local
BFP: Have you ever consumed venison?
RB: Yes. Absolutely. I love it. Its one of my favorite meats. Its a great meat in that it has a wonderful taste, a great flavor, its lean for red meat, its a very healthy red meat, based on everything I know about it.
BFP: How about moose meat?
RB: No, I havent had moose. But I would. So if anybody has an extra moose steak theyd like to give me, Id love to try it.
BFP: Ill put the word out. Have you ever eaten bear?
RB: When I was in college. I didnt eat very much of it, because I didnt like it. I thought it was dreadful.
BFP: Raccoon?
RB: Nope.
BFP: Rabbit?
RB: Yes. Love rabbit. Nothing better than a rabbit in a mustard cream sauce. Highly recommended. Also a rabbit Provencal is one of my favorite dishes.
BFP: How about Lake Champlain perch?
RB: Yes, I have. And I should tell you Ive also eaten ostrich, alligator, crocodile and snake.
BFP: Name your favorite vegetarian entree.
RB: I dont know if you call quiches vegetarian. But I like a spinach quiche, as one. I like a medley of grilled vegetables. I mean, you can put anything in it from green peppers to zucchini to squash, to onions, to tomatoes tomatoes typically added at the end. Grilled, its absolutely wonderful.
BFP: Were getting too close to lunchtime for this kind of talk.
RB: Well, cooking is one of my hobbies.
BFP: Do you routinely compost your kitchen scraps?
RB: Yes.
BFP: How about garden waste?
RB: We do. Although our compost pile has gotten so big that we had coyotes make a nest in it two years ago. We have quite a large garden compost heap, and we use the compost.
BFP: Have you ever used a composting toilet?
RB: I have used one, but I dont own one. At the Vermont Law School.
The landscape
BFP: Name a place youd consider a good example of smart (or responsible, sustainable) growth in Vermont.
RB: The notion of the compact village center and the green and dispersed countryside. You know, most of Vermont fits into that pattern. You could probably list the exceptions.
BFP: Name a place you wish would have been planned and built much differently.
RB: The exceptions are probably more obvious: the growth that you see historically on Shelburne Road and Williston Road in the Burlington area. You see it on the Barre-Montpelier road.
There, where growth has extended outward from the larger population areas but again, I think weve learned even from those examples, that go back to the 50s, perhaps even earlier. They evolved before we began applying the smart-growth policies more effectively throughout the state.
I certainly dont blame those communities. Its a fact of history. Sometimes as we learn and we see sprawl occurring, it wakes us up a bit.
Natural history
BFP: Aside from the sugar maple, what is your favorite native Vermont tree?
RB: I like the birch tree. I like the white birch. Particularly in the wintertime when youre walking in the woods theres something incredibly peaceful about those trees.
BFP: How about a favorite native Vermont shrub?
RB: Im not an expert on shrubs Im going to pass on that. My wife (Andrea Brock) would be the one to answer that. Shes the gardening expert in the family; she can name absolutely everything.
But I love lilacs are lilacs a shrub? I dont know if theyre considered a shrub, but if they are, theyre very, very high on my list. I dont know if theyre native, either.
Well, I dont know if the white birch is native. I dont even know if the sugar maple is native, or if it came from somewhere else. But Ive got a bunch of them, and I like to look at them.
BFP: How about a native Vermont flower that catches your eye?
RB: Im terrible with flower names well, theres wild lupine. Theres something about the purple and blue and weve got a lot of it here. Is it native to Vermont? I dont know.
BFP: About native Vermont flowers: I understand that our state flower, the red clover, is actually a naturalized exotic.
RB: But it got here as soon as it could.
BFP: As did many of us. But to be more on the local side, what would you offer as a substitute state flower? Or whom would you ask for advice?
RB: Well, Id ask my wife. Shes a renowned flower gardener. Shes had award-winning gardens; weve had garden tours here. She knows the name of every flower that grows in Vermont, and its history. Thats whom I would consult; shes my expert.
BFP: The lamprey that live in Lake Champlain is a native species that breeds in rivers that feed the lake. Should the state continue poisoning its larvae?
RB: I would leave that to the fisheries experts who could perhaps answer that question better than I. I dont think governors ought to be poisoning things, as a general rule, without expert advice. Theres always that law of unintended consequences that often happens when you make uninformed decisions.
BFP: What kind of car do you most commonly drive?
RB: Well, I drive a sedan. I dont know if I want to say it for publication because everybody gets mad when you do it but Ive got a Jaguar (XJL). And I get about 26 miles to the gallon.
BFP: Thats pretty good.
RB: It is. And what I like about the car is that its durable and reliable, it holds its value and has an outstanding warranty. I like the fact that its all aluminum, and it doesnt rust.
I wanted something thats cost-effective in the long run, but also being very maintenance-free.
I tend to put very, very high miles on a car. Ive got a 2011 car that has 45,000 miles on it already. And anybody who tells you that Vermont is a small state well, if you flatten it out, its the size of Texas.
BFP: Where does the gasoline thats pumped at the nearest filling station to your home come from, i.e., what route does it take from a refinery?
RB: At least for the last distance, its trucked. Where the exact route that it takes from the refinery to the distributor, I dont know.
BFP: When is the last time you traveled by Amtrak in Vermont?
RB: In Vermont, its been awhile. Ive done Amtrak outside of Vermont: the train between New York and Washington on a number of occasions, and the auto-train between Florida to Washington.
BFP: When was the last time you took public transit or a commercial bus?
RB: Ive taken Greyhound between Boston and Burlington. Its been probably a year, year and a half ago. It was painful. I dont recommend it for your back. But it was functional, and it was relatively inexpensive.
BFP: How about traveling by bicycle?
RB: Well, around the yard, maybe a year or so ago right here on the property on an old bicycle.
I do travel by foot. In fact, one of the things, on the campaign trail, its one of the greatest ways to travel, because often these parade routes are sometimes two miles or so in length, and you get to see parts of Vermont, particularly through towns that you drive through regularly. And when you drive through something, you dont see it.
But when you walk, you see things youve never seen before. You see architectural details; you see things behind buildings or in side yards. It is a view of Vermont that is very different.
BFP: Back to cars. What might be the most effective way to alert a driver that his or her car has been idling too long?
RB: Electro-shock, perhaps (laughs).
BFP: Thats a joke, right?
RB: Yes. But it would be effective. You could ask: Could there be some kind of device that would ring a bell or sound an alert when its been in a standard position, idling?
But then what if youre idling in a traffic jam? Do you want it to go off? So what does that mean it goes off if youre idling in park, perhaps, as opposed to in gear?
As with everything else, theres a cost. Is that the sort of thing you want to start mandating, or do you want people to just exercise common sense?
Theres that old phrase: Vermonters will do almost anything you ask them to do, and almost nothing you tell them to do.
Most people will do the right thing, and most people I think do the right thing.
Solid waste
BFP: Is there anything that you routinely throw away that you wish you would dispose of more thoughtfully?
RB: The only thing I can think of Id like to find a better way to dispose of paper. Well, theoretically, you recycle paper. But theres got to be something you can do with paper at home so you dont have to haul it somewhere else to get rid of it.
And Id like to use less paper. Thats problem No. 1.
BFP: Would you consider placing mandatory deposits on filter cigarettes in Vermont in order to encourage cleaner urban landscapes? Any other incentives you can think of?
RB: Looking at industry to produce a biodegradable cigarette filter would strike me as being the first place to look. Creating depositories for cigarette butts doesnt strike me as the most practical idea Id heard of.
The ultimate answer is to reduce smoking. Clearly its a public-health issue and a public-nuisance issue. And throwing away cigarette butts is a cleanliness issue.
BFP: Along the same lines, what might be an effective way to alert a stranger that he or she has neglected to pick up a pet dogs feces?
RB: (sarcastically) Busy-bodies are always welcomed by most people, as you know!
(More seriously) From that standpoint, do we have a serious-enough problem to create the self-appointed dog-waste police?
If you want to be a really good citizen, you can always carry a few plastic bags with you and offer them to someone, indicating, Oh, you must have forgotten your bag heres one.
BFP: Is Vermonts electric load (total use) larger in the summer or the winter?
RB: I dont know. I think it is larger in the summer, but I dont know. Im sure I can find out very quickly.
BFP: Who would you ask to find out?
RB: As a start, I would go local. In fact, I probably would go to my local electric company, Swanton Electric, which is probably representative. By the way, were basically fully renewable. We get our power from (the hydro plant at) Highgate Falls.
BFP: How many windmills operate in your home town?
RB: In Swanton, there are a couple, a few farms that get their power from wind.
BFP: What do you do with your spent compact-fluorescent bulbs?
RB: Return them to the hardware store.
BFP: Where is the closest year-round running body of water to where you live?
RB: Its probably the Missisquoi River.
BFP: When rainwater flows off your roof toward the front of your house, where does it go?
RB: Onto the ground; its absorbed into the soil.
BFP: Where does your drinking water come from at home?
RB: A well.
BFP: Where does your sewage go?
RB: A septic. We have an engineered mound system.
BFP: Is the moon waxing or waning right now?
RB: I dont know. In fact, I havent seen the moon here in a week.
BFP: Predict the first frost in Swanton this fall.
RB: Im curious to know if its already occurred. We had a couple of nights a week or two ago that were pretty cold. I dont know that we actually had a frost.
BFP: Would you care to make a prediction?
RB: It will be in October, I can tell you that much. Late September, early October is, I would think, when we ought to see it. Id be willing to bet in the first 10 days of October.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today issued its long-awaited proposal to define essential health benefits (EHB) under the Affordable Care Act. Of particular importance to physical therapists is the agency's proposal to cover the 10 categories of services identified in the statute, which include rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices.
Under the intended approach, states have flexibility to develop their plans around 4 benchmark plan types:
HHS believes this will allow states to tailor their plans based on its population's unique needs. The agency states, "To meet the EHB coverage standard, HHS intends to require that a health plan offer benefits that are "substantially equal" to the benefits of the benchmark plan selected by the state and modified as necessary to reflect the 10 coverage categories. This is the same equivalency standard that applies to plans under CHIP. Similar to CHIP, HHS intends to propose that a health insurance issuer have some flexibility to adjust benefits, including both the specific services covered and any quantitative limits provided they continue to offer coverage for all 10 statutory EHB categories."
Specific to habilitative services, HHS is considering 2 options if a benchmark plan does not include coverage for habilitative services: (1) Habilitative services would be offered at parity with rehabilitative services -- a plan covering services such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy for rehabilitation must also cover those services in similar scope, amount, and duration for habilitation; or (2) As a transitional approach, plans would decide which habilitative services to cover, and would report on that coverage to HHS. HHS would evaluate those decisions, and further define habilitative services in the future.
Based on the states' ability to tailor the plans and consider adding optional services or increased numbers of visits, it is important that APTA's state chapters continue to educate and foster relationships with their state agencies to ensure that rehabilitative services are optimized in the plans.
APTA will respond to the HHS bulletin before the January 31, 2012, deadline. The association also will provide resources to members to use at the state level.
