Remember to think, look, then cross
To encourage people to cross safely, we're running a new road safety campaign as a reminder to think, look and then cross.
So, what distracts you when you are walking in the central city and about to cross the road? You can 'park' your distraction and be in to win prizes by going to:
What's On Your Mind - Wellington City Council Facebook
The central message of this campaign is to encourage people to be aware of traffic and their environment, to reduce the number of crashes involving pedestrians in Wellington's city centre.
On average there are 36,000 people out walking every weekday hour in central Wellington and the majority will cross the road safely.
"We want people to be fully aware of their surroundings before they step out," says Stavros Michael, City Networks Manager. This campaign complements other Council initiatives to improve pedestrian safety. "These include wider footpaths, street furniture, more crossing points and consultation on lowering the speed limit in the central city."

9-year-old Detroit boy sells lemonade to raise money for cash strapped city
9-year-old Detroit boy sells lemonade to raise money for cash strapped city
A 9-year-old boy in Detroit has decided to lend a helping hand in raising money for his cash-strapped city. Joshua Smith is selling popcorn and lemonade in front of his home in the hopes of raising at least $1,000 to donate to the city. Joshua heard a radio report on his way to piano lessons, about Detroit struggling to avoid bankruptcy, and decided he wanted to do something about it.
He would like to see the money used to help improve the condition of parks around the city and near his home. The Detroit Free Press interviewed the junior fundraiser, who talked about why he wants to help the city. He plans to send a letter to City Hall with a special message for Mayor David Bing:
"Dear Mr. Mayor, I'm sending this money because I hear the city is broke and I'm hoping to raise $1,000 or more so we can have lots of money, so we can cut grass and fix the water fountains in the park."
Detroit has been battling bankruptcy for over a year and has been forced to cut city services, including parks and recreation, fire and rescue, and education. Those cuts have left parks near Joshua's home untended, with grass growing nearly five feet high and broken fountains left unfixed.
Alongside his friend, Dwayne Durant, he is asking neighbors to help support his initiative. "The money will go to the Mayor and will help people to cut grass and pick up trash," he says. His lemonade stand is open 5pm-8pm Monday thru Friday in front of Joshua's Detroit home.
His mother, Rhonda Smith, is using social media to promote Joshua's lemonade stand, and is considering starting a PayPal account so Joshua's can receive donations from friends and family outside of Detroit.

JPF is now available at SourceForge (Non-NASA Link!)
The majority of work carried out in the formal methods community throughout the last three decades has (for good reasons) been devoted to special languages designed to make it easier to experiment with mechanized formal methods such as theorem provers and model checkers. We believe it is time for the formal methods community to shift some of its attention towards the analysis of programs written in modern programming languages.
In keeping with this philosophy we have developed a verification and testing environment for Java which integrates model checking, program analysis and testing - called Java PathFinder (JPF). JPF consists of a custom-made Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that interprets bytecode combined with a search interface to allow the complete behavior of a Java program to be analyzed (including all interleavings of concurrent programs). JPF is implemented in Java and its architecture is highly modular to support rapid prototyping of new features.
JPF is a so-called explicit-state model checker, since it enumerates all visited states, and therefore suffers from the state-explosion problem inherent in analyzing large programs. It is ideally suited to analyzing programs less than 10kLOC, but has been successfully applied to finding errors in concurrent programs up to 100kLOC.

Though its title evokes memories of that old theatrical chestnut +Salvation Nell, FBO's Salvation Jane starts out as a "crook" picture. Viola Dana stars as Jane, an ambitious tenement girl who fraudulently dons a Salvation Army uniform to fleece a tourist out of his bankroll. When her victim tries to kill himself, Jane has a change of heart and returns the money. It turns out that Jane isn't really a bad sort: she'd been blackmailed into a life of crime by petty thief Jerry O'Day (J. Parker Jones), whom she sets about to reform in the final reels. Fay Holderness, a hefty actress best known for her appearances in the Laurel and Hardy comedies (usually as Ollie's wife), is seen as Salvation Army captain Carrie Brown.

So Teddy Ruxpin came across my Google RSS feeder this morning…what a blast from the past!
CrunchGear has apparently take the article down since then but the article was about Cognitive Code Corp. and their SILVIA artificial intelligence(AI) products. Their products look sweet, I mean, I would love to talk to my PDA or car! One highlight is that "SILVIA is a complete system for the development and deployment of intelligent applications to almost any computing platform or operating system, with a technological core that allows humans to interact with computers in completely natural and intuitive ways."
Remember Knight Rider's KITT? This could be KITT brought to life to some extent! They claim their system can be integrated through some development tools and API. I cannot wait until AI starts to integrate with everything from cars to cell phones to search engines to social networking!
Any other cool ways this technology could be integrated??

Description:Big crack that goes offwidth at times but the face has so many features that climbing is easier than a simple off width. Start in the corner to the right of Sea of Holes. I gues it is two pitches, if you have a 70M rope you can reach the top tree to belay from but not with a 60. Awesome line. If you get out on the face for the slab section then a run out is necessary. You can probably build an anchor down in the crack next to the Slab or use the mega easy traverse out to the Sea of Holes anchor with bolts.

I just wondered, after seeing some posts on here with 100's of replies and 1,000's of views, what it takes to create such an interesting post...
Anyway, here's a joke for ya seeing as you took the time to look even tho you were told not to...
Five Englishmen in an Audi Quattro arrived at an Irish border checkpoint.
Paddy the officer stops them and tells them: "It is illegal to put 5 people in a Quattro, Quattro means four".
"Quattro is just the name of the automobile," the Englishmen retorts disbelievingly.
"Look at the papers: this car is designed to carry five persons."
"You can not pull that one on me," replies Paddy "Quattro means four.
You have five people in your car and you are therefore breaking the law."
The Englishmen replies angrily, "You idiot! Call your supervisor
over I want to speak to someone with more intelligence!"
"Sorry," responds Paddy, "Murphy is busy with 2 guys in a Fiat

text: Fun Friday story: Google searches predict market crashes Some big brains at Warwick Business School and Boston University have found that certain topics searched for on Google correlate, seem to prelude, shifts in the stock market. According to the study--'Quantifying the semantics of search behavior before stock market moves,' published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences—humans have no chance of beating the stock market. The researchers point out that search engines record almost everything users search for. The records of these searches provide interesting fodder for study. The team quantified the meaning of every word on Wikipedia, categorized these words into topics, creating a computer-based meaning-system. Eventually they found that searches for terms relating to business and politics could be connected to subsequent stock market moves. Working through search data compiled between 2004 and 2012 the scientists found that, "No other topic was linked to returns that were significantly higher…Our results are in line with the hypothesis that increases in searches relating to both politics and business could be a sign of concern about the state of the economy, which may lead to decreased confidence in the value of stocks, resulting in transactions at lower prices." Which is, perhaps, not that surprising. However, the researchers also found that the correlation is already diminishing. "Our analysis found that the strength of this relationship, using this very simple weekly trading strategy, has diminished in recent years." Why might this be? One suggestion was that computer-based trading strategies have already found the pattern and are arbitraging the correlation out of existence. Or as, the scientists put it, [the diminished correlation], "potentially reflects the increasing incorporation of Internet data into automated trading strategies, and highlights that more advanced strategies are now needed to fully exploit online data in financial trading." That is, you, mere human, have absolutely no chance of beating the market. Yet another argument for sticking to index funds, apparently. SHARE

Moeen Ali sends South Africa spinning to first Test defeat
LONDON: Moeen Ali took six wickets as England beat South Africa by 211 runs to win the first Test at Lord's with more than a day to spare on Sunday.
The Proteas, set 331 to win, collapsed to 119 all out inside 37 overs.
The result meant Joe Root, who made 190 in the hosts' first innings 458, enjoyed a resounding victory in his first Test as England captain, with his side now 1-0 up in this four-match series.
Off-spinner Ali, the man-of-the-match, finished with Test-best figures of six for 53 in 15 overs — including a burst of five for 20 in 25 balls — on a pitch offering sharp turn.
No South Africa batsman made more in the innings than Temba Bavuma's 21.
"Everything I asked of the lads, they did," said Root at the presentation ceremony. "It's great to go to Trent Bridge 1-0 up.
"It was nice to get the runs, a monkey off the back, but throughout the game we had lots of good partnerships," the star batsman added.
'Fabulous' Ali
Ali also made 87 in England's first innings during a match where he took 10 for 112 in total and completed the all-rounder's Test double of 2,000 runs and 100 wickets.
"Moeen put in a fabulous performance, a great game," Root told BBC Radio's Test Match Special. "His innings was fabulous and he put the ball in consistently good areas."
Meanwhile Ali paid tribute to the influence of England spin-bowling coach Saqlain Mushtaq, the former Pakistan off-spinner.
"Everything went my way," said Ali.
"Saqlain has been helping me with my mindset and Rooty has given me the license to come on and take wickets."
WICKET! FIVE wickets for @MoeenAli – brilliant bowling!

South Africa stand-in captain Dean Elgar, leading the side for the first time while regular skipper Faf du Plessis took paternity leave, said: "We knew it was going to be a challenge and it just didn't go our way."
England collapse
The day started well for South Africa as England, who resumed on 119 for one in their second innings, lost seven wickets before lunch in a dramatic collapse.
But in the midst of the clatter of wickets, Vernon Philander dropped a routine catch at long-off when Jonny Bairstow, mistiming a drive off left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj, was on seven.
Bairstow punished the Proteas by making 51 before he was last man out in a total of 233.
The scale of South Africa's task could be seen from the fact that only once, when the West Indies made 344 for one against England in 1984 with Gordon Greenige hitting an unbeaten double century, had a side made more than 300 in the fourth innings to win a Lord's Test.
Bairstow, the son of late former England wicket-keeper David Bairstow, has often been criticised for the quality of his glovework.
But he held a brilliant one-handed catch, diving low down the legside, to give England their first wicket Sunday when Test debutant Heino Kuhn (one) glanced James Anderson.
South Africa's 12 for one became 12 for two when Elgar (two) drilled a return catch to Ali.
JP Duminy then hammered a pull off Wood and Ali held a good catch at midwicket to leave South Africa 25 for three at tea.
South Africa now needed a major innings from Hashim Amla.
But the star batsman fell for his interval score of 11 when, beaten on the outside edged by an excellent delivery from Liam Dawson, he was lbw to the left-arm spinner.
There was a brief pause before Ali transformed South Africa's 61 for four into 82 for eight.
But it was Dawson who ended the match when Morne Morkel holed out to South Africa-born Keaton Jennings in the deep.
Former England captain Alastair Cook was 59 not out overnight and Gary Ballance unbeaten on 34.
England struggled and when Kagiso Rabada had Ben Stokes plumb lbw he jokingly put a finger to his lips — a reference to his ban from Friday's second Test at Trent Bridge for swearing at the all-rounder after dismissing him in England's first innings.
But it was England who had the last laugh on a remarkable day at Lord's that saw 19 wickets fall in total.
The captain and man-of-the-match are very popular… #ENGvSA pic.twitter.com/ddScyvPZKA

(Belated) New Year's Resolutions…Bonk Breaker® Style
Santa Monica (4 February 2015): Before 2016 gets too far underway, we here at Bonk Breaker® HQ decided to take a walk (or tempo, fartlek or interval run) down our 2015 Memory Lane. We kept it simple. Everyone at Bonk Breaker® was asked four questions:
- What was your favorite moment of 2015?
- What was your hardest BONK of 2015?
- What is your New Year's Resolution?
- What is your target event / race for 2016?
Because we've got a competitive bunch (Hey! Who pushed the highest wattage on the way to work?!), each question was scored based on creativity, uniqueness, and overall #fuelyourjourney-NESS. Scores were then tallied, podium positions were awarded for each question and finally a General Classification winner was named. Simple enough? Here's how it went down:
What was your favorite moment of 2015?
Podium 1: Chris – "Getting top 3 overall in the Pave d'le Arbre cobbles section of Paris-Roubaix!"
Podium 2: Nell – "Crushing a 39-mile breast cancer walk with my 80-year-old mother!"

The Last Straw
Couple experiments with ways to renovate that will reduce energy use and utility bills
The neighbors are curious. With its straw-bale walls, Peggy Loftfield's house looks like something out of the "Three Little Pigs." Peggy and her husband Earl were looking for a way to save money after retirement. They moved here from Massachusetts last spring. After a lifetime's worth of interest in ecological, sustainable living, the two decided to pour all their knowledge into the grand experiment that will be their North Valley home.

Election Wrap-up
It's over. Well, almost over. Tens of thousands of you marched to the polls on Election Day, determined to cast votes that would decide our state's and country's future. Slightly more than a week later, the results are in.

Campaigns should focus less on TV and more on shaking hands
I went out Saturday morning to pick the daily paper off the lawn and take down my "Madrid for Congress" signs. It was, after all, four full days after the polls closed.

Council Watch
Pandas on Wheels
Election Eve Council meetings often end early, but on Nov. 6 one blockbuster bill and several side dishes kept councilors working late. Councilor Debbie O'Malley sponsored an administration proposal to expand city recycling services to multi-family dwellings of more than 25 units. The proposal passed unanimously.
Talking Points
"All War Is Terrorism"
A conversation with Mark Rudd of The Weather Underground on violence, the FBI, Che Guevara and a Palestinian named Jesus
In "The Real Side" ["Now Starring in the People's Republic of Albuquerque!" Oct. 26-Nov. 1], I wrote about the curious coincidence of Albuquerque attracting former leaders of The Black Panther Party, EarthFirst! and The Weather Underground. In the column, I imagined the ex-radicals holding forth about their regrets and their take on current events. Mark Rudd, formerly of The Weather Underground, accepted that invitation. Here's my conversation with a man who helped form an organization that bombed the Capitol and for a decade waged war against the United States of America.
Thin Line
Don't Forget—It's a good story. Pat Tillman, a defensive back for the Arizona Cardinals, left the NFL and penned his name to a stint with the Army Rangers, forgoing a $3.6 million contract. Talk about your American hero. That move's got football, war and sacrifice all in one.
Odds & Ends
Dateline: England--A 22-year-old lad who came up with the brilliant idea of launching a bottle rocket out of his own backside in celebration of Bonfire Night ended up in a Sunderland hospital with a scorched colon. "We received a call stating there was a male who had a firework in his bottom and it was bleeding," Douglas McDougal, from the North East Ambulance Service, told BBC News. The man was described as being in stable condition following the removal of a Black Cat Thunderbolt Rocket from his rectum. "He sustained fairly significant injuries," reported McDougal. "There's a lot of major blood vessels 'round that area, so infection would probably be a huge problem for him. And also the body naturally produces methane gas, so combine that with the firework and the exploding effect with methane's flammability--it certainly could have been a lot worse than it really was."
Jim Scarantino's opinion piece on Burque's Free Radicals of bygone fame/infamy [The Real Side, "Now Starring in the People's Republic of Albuquerque!," Oct. 26-Nov.1] was thoughtful and fun to read, but Jim did glide over some important distinctions. There is a world of difference among the three men noted in Jim's article, and Mark Rudd, for one, has long publicly distanced himself from the more absurd stances and actions of the Weather faction. Lumping all three together as apologists for violence is misleading. But they are each quite articulate still, and can speak for themselves.

SHEPPARD SWIM SCHOOL has a full spectrum of swimming lessons and swim coaching. We provide for swimming lessons, private lessons, coach education opportunities and swim camps. We believe that you can be taught world class principles in a safe and fun way! We dare to Dream!
SWIM CAMP NEWS: For more info go to swim camps page.
SWIM LESSONS: We teach children from 3yrs of age in our 'Nemo' groups where we invite parents to join in to assist with the transition into group lessons. After Nemo our swimmers begin our own swim lesson programme designed by Gary Vandermeulen (Olympic swimmer 1988, Olympic Coach 2000 & 2004) and updated regularly with improvements from our instructors. Our swimming programme introduces breaststroke kick earlier and dolphin kick earlier than other lesson programmes because these movements are very natural for young swimmers. Our levels 1-6 gradually take children through the learning process of all swimming strokes: Frontcrawl, Backcrawl, Breaststroke and Butterfly. In levels 7 & 8 our lesson time increases to 40minutes (from 30minutes) and we begin to fine tune swimming strokes. We do not currently publish our syllabus on our web site due to the fact that our syllabus in the past has been copied by our competition. Our programme contnues to improve and if you are interested in the criteria for moving from level to level we can email you the information. Our syllabus is the ONLY programme which introduces activities that supports future activity in Synchronised swimming and water polo.
PRE-COMPETITIVE LESSONS: These lessons take the level 8 swimmers and start teaching in areas that prepares a child for competitive swimming. They learn dives from starting blocks, tumble turns (and all stroke turns) and are introduced to using swimming to improve their fitness. These lessons are kept fun and interesting! Our Phoenix Aquatics team also teaches pre-competitive levels. Our swim school supports all clubs around our lesson programmes. Where possible we support the Phoenix Aquatics club due to its policy of introducing all aquatics sports.
AQUATICS: After levels 1-8 a child can also take our rookie lifeguarding class, our water polo class or our synchronised swimming class. These are new!
Sheppard Swim School is jointly owned and directed by Scotland's most successful female swimmer; five time Olympian Alison Sheppard MBE and her husband, Olympic coach Gary Vandermeulen. We teach lessons in multiple locations: Perth, Dundee, St Andrews, Auchterarder, Stirling, Kincardine and als in Dollar as part of our upper levels in the new swim club; Phoenix Aquatics.
The newly formed Phoenix Aquatics swimming club is coached by Gary Vandermeulen.It is not a part of the Sheppard Swim School except that we support the club.The club is a members run not-for-profit organization. At Phoenix Aquatics they have pre-competitive swimming, competitive swimming, masters swimming, synchronised swimming, Triathlon and Water Polo.
We provide high quality swimming lessons in the following areas:
Perth area Glenalmond College pool (PH1 3RY);
St Andrews Fife St Leonards School (KY16 9QJ); or also click here for a detailed map of pool area & parking.
Stirling area at Bannockburn High School on Sundays (FK7 0HQ) and Wallce High School on Tuesdays (FK9 5HW)
Kincardine at Tulliallan Police College near Alloa (FK10 4BB this post code is to the golf club next to the Police College. The Police College post code will not take you to the entrance, this post code will!)
Auchterarder area Castlebrae Police Treatment Centre pool -Auchterarder (PH3 IAG);
In Dollar Academy the pre-competitive programme that is run on the same syllabus as Sheppard Swim School. This programme is owned and opperatec by Phoenix Aquatics at Dollar Academy (FK14 7DU)

Star Wars Weekends is upon us again and this year DZ-4009 and myself loaded up the family and made a trip to that wretched hive of sun and humidity known as Florida. This would be the third Star Wars Weekends troop for me as well as my first troop of the year (current home construction is occupying most of our time). The Florida Garrison did an excellent job of tightening things up this year and we had such a huge number of participants this year that Disney actually put a cap on our numbers! We only marched on Friday, June 6th, but watched the parade as spectators on Saturday, June 7th and supported the troops with a home-made banner. While keeping in character during the march, we got a few nods from our members as well as hoots and hollers from the three 501st Honorary Member celebrities in the motorcade (Jeremy Bulloch, Warwick Davis, and Daniel Logan). This was also the first official troop for my AT-ST Driver costume. Watch for me with the Imperial Gunners and DZ-4009 as Friday's only female Tusken in the videos below:

text: John, I think my friend and I were next behind you in line...about 3 minutes after you guys left they called for your group because they had set up a table for you...you were already gone so my friend and I got your table. Thanks for leaving so we didn't have to wait...the food was amazing and would have been worth a 30 minute wait. I'm sure the restaurant did not expect there to be a line long enough to fill the restaurant outside at 4:45pm, I'm sure their intention was not to lie to you. Sometimes being patient and understanding pays off and maybe you shouldn't go out with "friends" who you have to be embarrassed around because of a small wait at an EXTREMELY popular new restaurant with limited space.

For those of you that remember, I took the plunge and joined a CSA last year for the first time. It was a daunting, sometimes overwhelming, fun, educational experience that I decided to partake in once again this year. With a few changes.
Before I get to far, I should explain what a CSA is for those of you who aren't familiar. CSA stands for community supported agriculture or community shared agriculture. In my case, in March, I paid an upfront commitment to support a local farm and share the benefits (abundant harvest) and risks (drought, flood, etc) with the farmers. Each week, I receive my "share" of the harvest, watching it change with the seasons. CSAs began gaining popularity in the 1980s in the USA and have been growing ever since, mostly due to the rise in awareness of the environmental impacts of our food distribution system. Buying local, organic, and sustainable food is now easier than ever.
This year, I cut my commitment in half from a full share to a half share. Last year I was often overwhelmed by the size and abundance of my share and racing to use as much of the supply as I could. Many times I ended up throwing away some of the produce, which defeated the purpose of participating in the first place. I'm still nervous about the conveyor belt of weekly shares that I am about to jump onto, however I'm better prepared and excited to see what's coming down the line first.
Some tips I picked up from last year that I plan to implement right away:
1. Plan flexible meals for the week. Typically, I do my meal planning and food shopping on Fridays or Saturdays for the week ahead. I don't stop doing this when the weekly shares start pouring in, but I do increase my flexibility with what I plan. Most of what I receive in the box can be added to a meal as a delicious side or accompaniment. I often leave a day or two open for ideas that come out of the box as well.
2. Get my girls involved. Every week we come home from "the farmer" (or the generous family who has volunteered to be a local pick up spot for my town, since the farm is 45 minutes away) and we play "name that vegetable". My daughters love it and so do I. They don't always know what I pull out of the box but I know that playing games around good food is something that I want them to enjoy. They touch, smell and often taste nearly everything. My inner game show host comes out too.
3. Empty, clean and store everything the night I get the box. Since I pick the box up on Tuesday nights this is not easy for me. Or enjoyable. My husband plays in a basketball league every Tuesday night and is not home until 10p. So, after a long day of him being out the door before the girls wake up, my own work, and busy schedules, the LAST thing I want to do is unload and prep all those ingredients. But let me tell you, I LOVE it on Wednesday morning and am much more likely to use what I've received throughout the week.
This year, the farm sent out this amazing book of recipes, guidelines, tips and tricks which got me really excited to start the season. Here's to going with the flow, having fun, and good food!
PS – there are so many CSAs available around the country. Do a local search of your area to see if you can participate!

Is it this stuff?
Vicuna Yarn at $299.85 for 217 yards(!!!!)
Nope. I have the most expensive yarn in the world.
Check it out.........
The yarn you see in the picture cost a whopping $1020.00!!
For 191 yards.
What is it made of you ask??
Where did I get it and what drugs was I on when I bought it??
I got it at the feed store. sorta. No drugs...promise.
It came off of my feed sacks. Feed sacks are sewn together with this stuff. When you open it you have 5'9" of perfectly good cotton thread.
Ive been saving it for a while. I started saving it when I saw a pattern for some garden gloves in a Workbasket circa 1952.
Back then, feed sacks, flour sacks, sugar sacks, ect, were made from heavy fabric(with designs on them) and used to sew dresses, aprons and other sewing projects and the string to sew these sacks together was saved for a variety of knitting/crocheting patterns. My MIL told me that she and some neighbors used to trade sacks so they could have enough of the same fabric to make a dress from. (would love some of yalls stories if you remember when they did this!!)
Now, these sacks are not made from fabric (sad isn't it?)but they still use string to sew the sacks together. This is where I got mine. But I don't have enough yet, so I'm gonna save some more string and then begin making the glove pattern. Im guessing these gloves would be seriously tough!! And Im buying the feed anyway, I might as well have something to show for it....
If yall are interested in the pattern. Let me know, and Ill type it out...I think the copyright is out on it...not sure tho.
Pretty cool the stuff that went on "back then".......

15 Shattering Severus Snape Tattoos In Memory Of Alan RickmanBy Xavier
Slytherins, Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws, raise your wands together for Alan Rickman, who brilliantly portrayed Severus Snape.
Love him or hate him, Severus Snape was a significant character in the Harry Potter series. And the actor who played him, Alan Rickman brought him to life and gave us an excellent portrayal of Snape from the books whom we may have loved, despised, or both. The character Severus Snape himself taught us to question how we view others, and of course, the concept of unconditional true love—no matter how unrequited. We have the late Alan Rickman to thank for giving us a performance to remember—all eight movies of it. Rest easy, Professor.
"I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even put a stopper on death." –Severus Snape in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
A hauntingly beautiful piece with dark trash realism tattoo artist, Anrijs Straume's distinct touch.
'Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears. "After all this time?" "Always," said Snape.' –Severus Snape in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Pasta carbonara – richly cheesy, creamy and studded with crisped pancetta, is easily one of the most comforting pasta dishes.
16oz gemelli or rotini pasta
9oz finely chopped pancetta
1 cup fresh peas
3 egg yolks
3 cloves garlic, minced
1tbsp Dijon mustard
2tbsp white balsamic vinegar
1tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup mild olive oil
Salt and ground black pepper
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 scallions, thinly sliced
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain well, then spread on a rimmed baking sheet to cool.
Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crispy, about 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pancetta to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool. Add the peas to the skillet and cook just until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the plate with the pancetta and allow to cool.
While everything cools, make the dressing. In a blender, or in a medium bowl with a whisk, combine the egg yolks, garlic, mustard, vinegar and lemon juice. In a slow stream, add the oil, whisking or blending until thick and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, pancetta, peas, dressing, Parmesan and scallions. Toss well. For best flavour, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Dismissal of case vs Espinosa, Lim puzzles PNP officer
By: Faye Orellana - @inquirerdotnet INQUIRER.net / 08:42 AM March 13, 2018
The police officer who ran after alleged drug lord Kerwin Espinosa expressed dismay over the dismissal of criminal charges against the drug personality and fellow accused Peter Lim.
Chief Insp. Jovie Espenido, Ozamiz City police director, raised the possibility on Tuesday that the Philippine National Police (PNP) did not submit Espinosas testimonies given during a Senate hearing.
Espenido was the chief of police of Albuera, Leyte, where Espinosas father Rolando Sr. was mayor. The police officer arrested Rolando Sr. and filed drug charges against him and Espinosa.
Kung matandaan natin, he (Espinosa) admitted noon that he is a drug lord sa Senate. Sa Senate sinabi niya yun, may transcript diyan, he said in an interview with dzMM.
Pero sa ganun lang, I dont know baka hindi sinubmit nung PNP yung mga testimony niya, transcipt niya, para basis na drug trafficker si Kerwin Espinosa, he added.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Monday cleared the drug trafficking cases filed by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) last year against Lim and Espinosa.
The DOJ resolution, approved by acting Prosecutor General Jorge Catalan Jr., was issued on Dec. 20, 2017, but it was released to media only on Monday.
Espenido also expressed bewilderment on what happened to the case filed by the CIDG given the protocol of the police to gather concrete evidences against someone.
Nagtaka nga ako kung bakit ganun. Alam naman kaming mga pulis na before mag-file ng kaso, mag gather talaga yung ebisensya para di masayang, Espenido said
I really dont know the reason why yung CIDG nag-file, na ang kinahatnan ay na-dismiss lang, he added. /cbb

You wish we could all go back to how we were,

Amy Reeder is a Certified Diabetes Educator with a master's degree in nutrition from the University of Utah. She has worked in the diabetes field since 2005 and has been a Certified Diabetes Educator since 2007.
Recent studies presented at the 2014 European Congress on Obesity stated that eating pistachios and almonds may protect against the development of type 2 diabetes.
One study found that consuming a "handful" of pistachios each day for four months significantly reduced fasting blood sugar, insulin and insulin resistance in the study participants. This was a small study with 49 overweight or obese patients with pre-diabetes, but shows promising results for preventing type 2 diabetes, with no added weight gain.
The other study examined 137 adults with increased risk for diabetes. Of the 137 participants, one group consumed a small handful of almonds per day for four weeks with meals; another group ate the same amount of almonds as a snack each day; and the last group ate no almonds at all during the four week time period. Results showed that inclusion of almonds, especially as a snack during the day, led to lower blood glucose levels overall.
Both studies also illustrated that people who ate nuts daily felt less hungry than those who did not eat nuts during the day.
Benefits of nuts
Nuts are a great source of protein, healthy fat, and fiber. All of these nutrients are slowly digested in the gastrointestinal tract, and allow for a greater feeling of fullness and satiety, for a longer period of time compared to other foods such as crackers, cookies or candy that do not contain protein, fat and fiber.
Nuts and nut oils as part of a healthy diet have been studied for years, and have shown positive correlation between consumption and decreased risk for obesity and metabolic syndrome, as well as pre-diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
While nuts are a smart food choice to incorporate into meals and snacks, remember that nuts do contain healthy fats that can add up to be a significant source of calories. One "handful" each day is sufficient intake. When talking to people with diabetes, I usually recommend one portion per day. The portion size is similar to that in the studies reported here – one handful. However, I encourage a flat handful as opposed to a cupped hand or a two-handed cup. Pour the nuts onto your flat palm and let the extras roll off. Other tips: try to avoid eating nuts right out of the container – this can be a calorie trap because sometimes you just can't stop! And try to include raw or plain nuts as opposed to sweet or savory-flavored nuts that have extra calories and added ingredients that may not be so healthy (sugar and salt).
Lastly, while pistachios and almonds were the nuts of choice in the two studies outlined above, I recommend a variety of nuts as part of a healthy diet – pistachios, almonds, Brazil nuts, walnuts and pecans are also great choices that will provide health benefits!

New Zealand Has Its Own Team Talk!
New Zealand Has Its Own Team Talk!
On 12th September, All Blacks Tours will release two Rugby World Cup 2015 special fan flights to the UK hosted by some very familiar faces that know all about the hype around this extraordinary Tournament.
The winning coach of Rugby World Cup 2011 Sir Graham Henry, and hero of the RWC 2011 Final, Stephen Donald, will be accompanying Kiwi fans on Official All Blacks Tours to Rugby World Cup 2015.
Henry will be there with fans for a 19-- night All Finals package, and Donald will take fans over for a 12--night package, which includes the semi--finals and the Final.
Donald, who is All Blacks Tours RWC 2015 Ambassador, and Henry know more than anyone what it's like to be there, and both are very excited at the prospect of enjoying it all again, but as a supporter.
Donald, who is currently playing rugby in Japan, said he wouldn't miss this Tournament for anything "Its something that every New Zealanders dreams of going to, and to have the opportunity to head along, on a Special Fan Flight with fellow rugby fanatics will be a trip of a lifetime" These two exclusive All Blacks Tours packages vary slightly, but both include a special fan flight to England, good quality accommodation, 2 Official All Blacks supporter functions, Official All Blacks Tours merchandise, return match transfers, airport transfers and a London hop--on hop--off sightseeing pass.
David Caldwell, General Manager at All Blacks Tours says, "With limited spots available and the phenomenal amount of interest in RWC 2015, these packages are forecast to sell as quickly as the Chicago Chartered Fan Flight which sold out in just 6 days."
All Blacks Fans can register their interest now ahead of next week launch, by visiting www.allblackstours.com or by calling the All Blacks Tours team on 0800 81 2011.

Greetings, Silicon Valley renters, and welcome to your Milpitas, California apartment hunting headquarters! Conveniently situated on the southern edge of the San Francisco Bay just seven miles north of San Jose, Milpitas boasts a booming local economy, a highly diverse population, and some of the most attractive rental properties in Santa Clara County. Interested in joining the nearly 70,000 proud peeps who call Milpitas home? Of course you are! But before you scour the listings and hit the streets in search of your dream pad, take a moment to peruse the following bits of wit and wisdom (yes, we use those terms liberally) to help make your migration to the Valley as cool as an ocean breeze…
As an apartment dweller in Milpitas, you'll soon find that your new hometown is as racially diverse as any Golden State community. Filipinos account for roughly 15 percent of all residents, while the total number of Asians living in the city exceeds 50 percent of the population. An additional one in four residents is Hispanic, while the city is also home to thousands of Caucasians, African Americans, European immigrants, and, of course, homegrown Californians from all walks of life. Bottom line: Don't be surprised if you get the feeling you've stumbled into a massive United Nations summit while strolling down the streets of Milpitas. Oh and hey, while you're there, take advantage of the amazing noodle shops, taco trucks and myriad of other ethnic eateries.
People sometimes write off Milpitas as nothing but an overgrown San Jose suburb, but the truth is that the city is actually much more of a computer industry boomtown than a "bedroom community." Tons of I.T., medical, and high-tech corporations are headquartered in Milpitas (Cisco System and Lifescan alone combine to employ more than 5,000 people), while the city is also home to eight industrial parks, nearly 600 manufacturing plants, and a gargantuan factory outlet mall with more than 200 shops that employ nearly 3500 people. In other words, you shouldn't have a problem raking in enough greenbacks to pay for that spectacular new apartment of yours.
Anyone familiar with Silicon Valley will tell you that traffic in the area is often about as pleasant as skinny-dipping in the Bay on a frigid February dawn. Because the population of Milpitas nearly doubles during the day to more than 130,000, traffic can be a grade-A beast for drivers trying to both get into, and out of, the city. Fortunately, the VTA does provide light rail service to other Bay Area destinations and the BART is in the process of adding a Milpitas stop, which should encourage more commuters to lean on public transit in coming years.
Luckily, there's more to do in Milpitas than program computers by day, sit in traffic on the I-680 all afternoon and then twiddle your thumbs in your brand new apartment at night. Shopaholics will immediately fall in love with the city's veritable buffet of retail options, including the Great Mall, the outdoor Milpitas Square shopping center, and the tons of ethnic shops that dot the streets. Milpitas is also highly regarded for its youth recreation programs and facilities, which is one reason why the city has become increasingly popular for families with children. Additional attractions include a performing arts center, more than 30 community parks, numerous public art displays, and a wide variety of unique eateries. Night owls, meanwhile, are less than a ten minute drive from all the clubs, pubs, live music venues, and wine bars they could possibly imagine in nearby San Jose.
Usually in this section, we gently point out certain parts of a city that should be avoided unless you enjoy getting mugged, knifed, carjacked, shot, flicked in the ear (like, really hard), or robbed of the vital organs you hold so dear. Fortunately, the "Crossroads of Silicon Valley" has no such danger zones, so rest assured you and your kidneys will remain whole during your stay in Milpitas. Still, be sure to visit a neighborhood in advance, whether you're targeting Midtown, the Calavera Boulevard district, or any other 'hood, to make sure you're comfortable with its ambiance and neighbors before pursuing a lease.
A few things to keep in mind during your apartment scavenging escapades:
News flash: The Valley ain't cheap, yo. A typical 1BR apartment with only the most basic amenities is likely to cost $1400 minimum, and if you're looking for a spacious family pad with more than two bedrooms, expect to spend $2,000 to $3,000. The city's cost of living index is more than 60 percentage points above the national average, meaning you're not likely to save many yen on the price of things like utilities, gas, and groceries, either.
Leasers account for only about 30 percent of residents, but that doesn't mean apartments are necessarily slim pickings. There's no distinct "renting season" in Milpitas, so occupancy rates rarely spike. Waiting lists are rare, and move-in specials do occasionally pop up, so shop the market thoroughly and feel free to dilly-dally and lolly-gag a bit before signing the dotted line.
A surprising number of landlords in Milpitas allow pets including cats, dogs, fish, and wooly mammoths, but some don't. Do some preliminary research about a property before scheduling a visit to make sure you're comfortable with the landlord's policies and or pet extortion fees.
Bring the basics along with you when you're ready to apply for a lease, including proof of income, banking info, and a list of prior residences. Many apartment managers run background checks on prospective tenants, so if you have some conspicuous skeletons in your credit/renting history (ahem, junior year of college), you'll likely need a co-signer to finalize the deal.
And now, ladies and gents, it's time to find the California dwelling of your dreams. Best of luck and happy hunting!

Miscellaneous income: particular sources: restraint of trade
S687-S689 Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005, S979-S981 Corporation Tax Act 2009
A payment for agreeing not to do something may be chargeable as miscellaneous income under the sweep-up provisions.
The case of Higgs v Olivier [1952] 33TC136 relates to a payment made to Sir Laurence Olivier. Following the making of the film of Henry V, Olivier agreed not to act in, produce or direct a film for any other person for a period of eighteen months in return for a payment of £15,000. This was held not to be taxable as income from his profession as an actor/director.
It was considered that a payment not to do something was not a trading receipt (see BIM35600), however the question of whether such a payment was taxable under the sweep-up provisions was not considered in this case.
Judicial comments in later cases have indicated that such payments are a payment for a service chargeable under the sweep-up provisions.
In Murray v ICI Ltd [1967] 44TC175, Cross J said at page 207:
'The Crown made no alternative argument under [the sweep-up provisions] on the basis that the £15,000 was a payment for a service rendered by Sir Laurence Olivier at the request of the film company. Had it done so, then the question might well have arisen whether it was a casual profit of a revenue nature or a payment for parting with a capital asset: see the judgement of Rowlatt J. in Ryall v Hoare 8TC521. It may be - I say no more - that, had the claim been put that way, the Crown would have succeeded.'
The Court of Appeal approved Cross J's judgment in full.

Lib Rep. McCarthy Who Knows Nothing About Guns to Introduce New Legislation Banning Guns (Video)
Don't ever let a horrible slaughter at a supermarket go to waste.
Far left Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), pounced on the shooting massacre in Tucson Sunday, promising to introduce legislation as soon as Monday targeting the high-capacity ammunition the gunman used.
In case you are not familiar with this far left democrat, she is the same representative who introduced an assault weapons ban in 2007 to regulate semi-automatic assault weapons including weapons that have pistol grips, forward grips or barrel shrouds.
Of course, she had no idea what a barrel shroud was even though she introduced the bill.

My son's first home purchase was an older house that was housing for Canada's military. Well built not fancy but functional. Someone had planted a maple tree in the back yard which in time became the framework for a children's treehouse. When my son moved in the tree had seen better years so he had it cut down and I was the beneficiary of some of the wood. This boot came from this wood.
It was severely gnarled and the inner grain shows it's age.
When cutting out the boot blank, I wanted to show all the characteristics that made the tree old just like the 'boot' carver. So I give you the Old Curmudgeon!

The lack of consensus over what the market wants to do has resulted in a trading range for the past ...
What Do BAC, AMGN, ESRX, & RHT Have in Common?
05/02/2014 10:45 am EST
Focus: STOCKS
While doji formations are typically seen as a sign of indecision, MoneyShow's Tom Aspray found that one analyst' s unique application of these patterns can help identify tops or bottoms. Here, he identifies four stocks that are currently displaying this pattern.
Stocks had a quiet session ahead of today's monthly jobs report with slight losses in the Dow Industrials and S&P 500 while the Dow Transports gained 0.61%. The market seemed to pay little attention to either the better-than-expected economic data or the apparent heightening of tensions in Ukraine. Many of the major averages did form dojis on Thursday, a candle formation that suggests indecision.
On the big board, the A/D ratios were slightly positive but they were slightly negative on the Nasdaq Composite. Though the A/D lines continue to look strong, the McClellan oscillator at +48 may be losing upside momentum. Several analysts are turning more bearish on the stock market and individual investors became a bit more cautious this week as the bullish % dropped from 34.5% to 29.77%. This is a positive for the market.
Now that a new month has started, it is a good time to look at the monthly charts, which many analysts find very informative. For example, the creator of the low close doji candle chart formation, John Person, sent me a list of those stocks that had triggered monthly low close dojis at the end of April.
I have found this to be one of the most valuable candle chart formations as I noted in A Candle Trigger For Market Tops. One stock that looks especially vulnerable, says John, is Bank of America (BAC), and I have selected three other stocks from his list that you should examine more closely if they are part of your portfolio.
Chart Analysis: The monthly chart of Bank of America (BAC) shows that a doji was formed in February (see arrow). The stock made a new high the following month but closed below the doji low of $16.12 at the end of April.
- Of course, the stock is down sharply this week after a $4 billion accounting mistake was revealed on Monday.
- BAC closed below its quarterly pivot on April 4 and has since dropped 9.4%.
- The stock is now below the quarterly S2 support with the 20-month EMA now at $13.79.
- The long-term monthly uptrend, line a, is now in the $12 area.
- The monthly relative performance had been above its WMA since October 2012 but has now closed below it.
- The monthly on-balance volume (OBV) has been diverging from prices since early in 2013, line c.
- The weekly AOT (not shown) triggered a sell signal on April 25 and warned of the recent plunge.
- For May, the monthly pivot and initial resistance is at $15.80 with the 20-week EMA at $16.12.
Amgen Inc. (AMGN) formed a doji in March (see arrow) and closed April at $111.75, which was well below the doji low of $118.56.
- The stock is now approaching its long-term uptrend (line d) with its 20-month EMA a bit lower at $103.25.
- AMGN also closed below its quarterly pivot on April 4.
- The monthly relative performance made its high in late 2013 and formed a negative divergence, line e, in early 2014.
- The RS line has dropped well below its WMA and is now close to the more important support at line f.
- The OBV did make a slight new high in 2014 and has now dropped back to its WMA.
- The weekly OBV (not shown) has turned up but it well below its flattening WMA.
- The monthly pivot is at $115.75 with the declining 20-week EMA at $116.75, so this is an area of strong resistance.
NEXT PAGE: 2 More Stocks with LCD Signal|pagebreak|
Express Scripts, Inc. (ESRX) dropped 6.2% on Wednesday as its earnings and revenue both missed while providing negative guidance. The stocks formed a doji in February and March.
- ESRX closed April at $66.58, which was well below February's doji lows of $72.68.
- The 20-month EMA is at $64.40 with the uptrend, line a, in the $57 area.
- The relative performance peaked in 2010 forming lower highs in both 2012 and 2014, line b.
- The April close in the RS line below the support at line c confirmed the divergence.
- The monthly OBV does look much stronger as it made a new high with prices in 2014 and is still above its rising WMA.
- The weekly OBV (not shown) broke below support in the latter part of March and has formed a series of lower lows.
- Volume of over 20 million shares on Wednesday was four times the daily average.
- There is gap resistance in the $66.72 to $70 with the monthly pivot at $69.14.
- The quarterly pivot is at $74.69.
Red Hat, Inc. (RHT) triggered a LCD in May 2012 (see circle) and drifted lower for the next 16 months. The stock bounced in late 2013 and early 2014.
- A monthly doji was formed in January with a low of $54.90.
- The March close of 51.80 triggered the low close doji sell signal and RHT has dropped 6% since.
- The monthly chart shows an apparent double top formation, line e.
- A monthly close below the support at $41.89 would complete the top with downside targets in the $21-$24 area.
- May's monthly projected pivot support is at $43.53 as RHT closed April below its 20-month EMA.
- The relative performance broke over three-year support, line g, in September 2012.
- The RS line shows a well established downtrend, line h, that was tested in early 2014.
- The monthly OBV violated its support, line i, in early 2013 and dropped below its WMA the following month.
- The lower highs in the OBV, line j, support the double top scenario as if it were a continuation pattern the OBV should be acting stronger.
- The monthly pivot is at $50.01 with the declining 20-week EMA at $52.75.
- The high in April was $53.93.
What It Means: Both of John Person's high and low close doji candle formations can be used on any time frame. Like most analytical methods, monthly signals are more important than weekly or daily.
As I noted in the March 14 Week Ahead column, the PowerShares QQQ triggered a LCD sell signal with its close at $88.47. Two weeks ago, it had a low of $83.38 and I recommended long positions on April 25.
Therefore, these signals do make a further decline likely, so investors should take note.

Clean energy
The clean energy produced by the Waddi Wind and Solar Farm will contribute towards the Commonwealth Government's Renewable Energy Target (RET).
The Waddi Wind and Solar Farm is located approximately 15km north-west of the township of Dandaragan and approximately 150 kilometres north of Perth in the mid-west region of Western Australia's wheatbelt.
Wind Prospect commenced development of the project in
2009 as one of two wind farm projects known collectively as
the Dandaragan Wind Farm. In October 2015 Tilt Renewables
(then Trustpower) purchased the Waddi Wind Farm project
(the project located to the north-west of Dandaragan) from
Wind Prospect. The Waddi Wind Farm will be spread across
10,400 ha and will consist of up to 57 turbines with and
installed capacity of up to approximately 145MW.
The Waddi Solar Plant will be located within the boundary of the Waddi Wind Farm. The project will include a number of arrays consisting of either static or single axis tracking photovoltaic panels. The arrays will cover an area up to approximately 150 hectares, with an installed capacity of up to 80MW. The ultimate size and output of the wind farm and solar plant projects will be dependent on the market and technology type selected.
The clean energy produced by the Waddi Wind and Solar Farm will contribute towards the Commonwealth Government's Renewable Energy Target (RET).
The project will employ over 150 people during construction and will require 6-10 full time staff during its predicted 25 year lifespan. All Tilt Renewables projects have resulted in significant local employment and Tilt Renewables will continue to recommend maximising local employment in Tilt Renewables construction contracts.
The majority of local employment is during construction, but the operations phase also provides opportunities for local employment and for local businesses. Typical goods and services likely to be sourced locally during construction and operations locally include accommodation, engineering, freight services, construction materials and equipment, local labour, technical contractors, earth works services, fencing and landscaping.
Tilt Renewables have developed a register for expressions of interest for employment and supply of services which can be accessed via the project website is accessed by the website.
The roughly $500m dollar project will result in significant local economic benefits, including a direct injection of over $1m per annum to the local community through payments to involved landholders, permanent staff and community fund contributions. It will assist local farmers by providing a drought-proofing and post-retirement income stream.
"Tilt Renewables is also committed to providing financial support for local community services through a community benefit program at all of its operating projects."
Inputs will be sought from the community to inform and shape how a community fund could be implemented.
The Waddi Wind Farm was granted conditional planning approval for up to 57 turbines by the Shire of Dandaragan on the 15 December 2011, as part of the combined Dandaragan Wind Farm. The planning approval allows for the Waddi Wind Farm to be developed separately. A variation to the original planning approval was approved in September 2016 for some changes to the project layout, to increase the turbine tip height from 152 metres to 165 metres and to allow for a separate connection to the electricity network.
Separate planning approval was also secured for the Waddi Solar Plant in September 2016.
An extensive community consultation process has been undertaken for the proposed Waddi Wind Farm prior to and as part of the planning approval process. The purpose of this consultation has been to provide accurate information on the project and wind farms in general to the community as well as giving the community the opportunity to influence the project design.
Tilt Renewables values community engagement and relationships very highly and take a lot of pride in the good relationships developed around the projects to date.
As the long term owner and operator of the wind farm and solar plant, Tilt Renewables envision becoming an active part of the community over the 25 year life of the project.
The project team welcomes the opportunity to come and meet with you to discuss the project and answer any queries you may have. Please feel free to contact us if you have any queries.
