|Can't make it to Philly?
Relax. Don't worry. Have a homebrew.
And if you don't brew,
Sculpin now comes in cans.
It's delicious.
On Sunday, June 30th, the First Unitarian Church (2125 Chestnut Street) is hosting a service that
[...] will explore the history and culture of one of mankind's oldest beverages. Throughout history beer has not only been a sustaining beverage but it has also come to connote conviviality and equality among all people. The service will also look at an interesting message from the world of craft brewing – small is good! This service will mark the conclusion of the American Homebrewer's Association's National Homebrewers Conference being held in Philadelphia this year.
Choir member Dane Wells is one of several homebrewers in the congregations. In 1985, he received a certification as a Beer Judge from the American Homebrewer's Association, and has since devoted considerable study to the history and culture of brewing.
Goes well with:
- The beer service details are here: Conviviality, Equality and Beer.
- Events for the homebrewers' conference are here.

America's Oldest Gas Station
America's oldest gas station, since 1909. Still in operation with full service.[Gary, 10/28/2012]
Reighard's used to have a cool neon sign that proclaimed it "America's Oldest Gas Station," but that appears to have been replaced by a simple billboard proclaiming the same thing. There's also an "America's Oldest Gas Station" display sign on the outside wall of the station building. But it doesn't look like an old gas station, and its claim is disputed by a better-documented 1913 gas station in Pittsburgh.

In Iceland, as in America, the same financial "experts" who destroyed our economy remain in charge of the banks they ruined, by and large. Just as the AIG traders who created the credit default swaps that threaten the global economy's stability have not only remained at their posts, but been rewarded with million dollar bonuses, the executives of Iceland's investment banks retain control of the country's finances and have effectively prevented any serious investigation into their alleged insider trades, political back-scratching and gross incompetence.
Rumors started circulating soon after the banks collapsed that top bank officials had taken out massive loans in order to buy bank stock before the collapse (using the stock as collateral for the loans) and that the banks had written those loans off after the government took them over. The purported explanation for this was that it would otherwise be impossible to staff the banks' executive suites, because bankrupt persons were statutorily barred from working in banks.
Within the banks and political circles, everything humanly possible is being done to prevent access to necessary documents, so it is perhaps not strange that, in the five months since the collapse, the government's only official investigator has not provided any information about these accusations. In fact, he stated in a recent television interview that he had interviewed at most ten people and had not found probable cause to undertake any further investigations. The tornado has ruined the farm, but "Don't see nothin' the matter here, Ma. Ain't it grand the wind stopped blowin'?"
The special economic crimes prosecutor, Ólafur Þór Hauksson. The Icelandic government has four people working on investigating the country's economic collapse, probably one of the most complicated criminal financial schemes in modern times. That "is a joke," said French-Norwegian Economic Crimes Investigative Magistrate Eva Joly, who has agreed to advise the Icelandic government in the matter. Photo credit: visir.is
Economists Jón Daníelsson, of the London School of Economics, and Gylfi Zoega, of the University of Iceland and Birkbeck College, write that: "Limited and often contradictory information is available about events leading up to the crisis, what was known, and who had the responsibility to take action. The little public information available seems to originate from foreign institutions, and the information originating in Iceland generally takes the form of Icelandic public officials or politicians leaking to the press, or being interviewed in the media, possibly for reasons of self interest, rather than any desire to inform the public."
Since Iceland has parliamentary elections in five weeks--and information about how these politically connected bankers managed to ruin our country would seem highly relevant in deciding who to vote for--the rumored explanation appears to be the only plausible one.
Iceland's current situation was not merely the result of the current global credit crisis, as many in Iceland claim. Danske Bank foresaw the inevitable problems in 2006: "We look at early warning indicators for financial crises and conclude that Iceland looks worse on almost all measures than Thailand did before its crisis in 1997, and only moderately more healthy [sic] than Turkey before its 2001 crisis." It accurately predicted that the Icelandic economy would experience a hard landing if Icelandic policymakers did not take appropriate actions.
The Icelandic banks reacted ferociously. Glitnir's research department stated that the "DB report presents a grim view of the economy, contains numerous errors and omissions, assumes a worst case scenario and presents a highly implausible forecast of a financial crisis and subsequent deep recession."
Landsbanki's experts disparaged the DB report, concluding that it "severely over dramatises macroeconomic imbalances in Iceland and the likelihood of a hard landing in the economy. The report also contains numerous statistical inaccuracies and omissions all of which put the Icelandic economy in a bleaker light than is warranted."
Kaupthing's executive chairman, Sigurdur Einarsson, assured shareholders that the DB report's doomsday pronouncements were nonsense: its "prediction did not take into consideration the flexibility of the economy, which allows for adjustment without threatening future economic growth or the health of the banking system." He assured them that the bank "had effectively decoupled itself from the Icelandic economy." Ásgeir Jónsson, the bank's chief economist, stated that: "The forecast in the report is based on inaccurate data which seems almost to be willingly misread."
Kaupþing Bank Chairman, Sigurður Einarsson took out 500 billion ISK (approx. $1 billion) in loans to himself and four other bank owners three months before the banks collapsed. Many of the "businesses" to which the loans were granted, are offshore in the Brithish Virgin Islands. Photo credit: kaupthing.is
This obliviousness continued to the bitter end. As late as September 17, 2008--two weeks before the bank was effectively taken over by the government--Glitnir's research department expected "the bank system to get through this adversity without significant difficulties." Landsbanki's experts stated on September 24, 2008 that "High living standards, strong infrastructure, a debt-free treasury and plenty of unexploited natural resources are among those characteristics which make Iceland's long-term prospects enviable. They should also help the economy to regain its balance in a time of international financial turmoil."
Inexplicably, nearly all of the bank executives, board members, and "experts" remain. Although the government has nationalized all of the banks, it has made no apparent effort to control or investigate the individuals who provided such stellar advice. They are obviously indispensable.
Simon Johnson and James Kwak wrote in the New York Times that the lesson of the 1997 Asian financial crisis is that "when insiders have broken a financial institution, the most direct remedy is to kick them out. ... We should not let people think that the best way to guarantee job security is to lose lots of money in a really complicated way."
The world contains many honest, competent bankers who could clean house and build Iceland's banks up from the ground as the professional institutions needed to sustain the country's financial prosperity over the long term.
Although, as Danielsson and Zoega note, "any officials responsible for mistakes must take responsibility, possibly by resigning," that has not happened yet and doesn't seem likely to happen anytime soon. One doesn't know whether to laugh or cry at the government's hideously incompetent investigative efforts. Until the responsible parties are forced to divulge the extent of their misdeeds and until the government brings in impartial bankers, international investors are unlikely to have any faith in Iceland, and our depression will continue.
Charles de Gaulle once said that "The graveyards are full of indispensable men." No one is indispensable; a lesson the Icelandic government has yet to learn. In the meantime, Icelandic taxpayers continue to endure anguish and injustice, and foot the bill, but the scoundrels laugh all the way to the bank - in Tortola.

Gerald Haigh, independent writer to Microsoft took a visit to Blatchington Mill School, down in Hove to see their work on SharePoint and parental engagement. Here in his own words details his trip.
I took the opportunity recently to visit Blatchington Mill School and Sixth Form College, a very large (1800 students 11 – 18) comprehensive in Hove, to renew contact with Assistant Head Mark Leighton. I wanted to talk to him about the school's longstanding work with Microsoft SharePoint and particularly his plans for migrating to SharePoint 2010.
Mark's done excellent work at Blatchington Mill over several years, using SharePoint as the preferred basis upon which to build and develop Blatchington Mill School (BMS) Portal – an integrated platform for handling communication, information and resources. Though clearly a whole school environment for learning, the portal is also very much a response to requests from parents for good online access to information. Now, as well as the government defined basic data on attendance, attainment and reporting (through embedding Capita' SIMS Learning Gateway inside the BMS Portal) parents can find, in their own section of the portal, information on supporting their child, for example, teaching materials, lesson topics and schedules, assignments and test dates, revision materials and a personal online homework diary maintained by their child's teachers. They can also view colour coded progress charts for each child in each subject they study, tracking their journey through a key stage towards their ultimate target grades.
The BMS Portal began life in SharePoint 2003, then moved to SharePoint 2007 and when I visited the school, at the start of the 2011 summer holidays, the latest version, "BMS 360" was nearing completion in SharePoint 2010.
All the proven key features, as you'd expect, are maintained in the new version, but now there's an even more attractive home page with log in access for the community, students, parents, staff and governors.
Parents, in particular, will be pleased by what they find. Up to now it's been up to teachers to make curriculum information available on the parent portal. Now, though, from, September, parents will find that they can click straight through to the school's curriculum subject sites on the same terms as the students.
"For example if a parent wants to see what their Year Eight child is doing in maths, there's a link in the parent portal taking them straight to the maths curriculum site. They can see current topics, revision materials, what kind of testing is planned. And that's the result of a direct request by parents." – Mark Leighton
There's always been a real effort at Blatchington Mill to keep parents coming back to the portal, and there's no doubt that providing easy access into the heart of the curriculum is going to be a real driver for increased engagement.
As the latest version of Capita's Sims Learning Gateway is also being installed into the new BMS 360 over the summer, the total effect should be a considerably enhanced service to parents.
Development won't stop there, though and a further step for Mark and his colleagues during the coming year is to make the already accessible basic MIS data more useful. "We want to rework it and analyse it for parents. What they tell us they want is more detail on progress and targets."
As well as this there are plans to include parents in pastoral work individually with their children and tutors through the online system.
Paying attention to parents has been a priority at Blatchington Mill for some years. In 2009 the school was one of five featured in Microsoft parental engagement case studies, and Mark Leighton's work with Sims Learning Gateway is also frequently referenced by Capita.
In that 2009 Microsoft case study, Blatchington Mill's head, Janet Felkin said "An effective home-school partnership is essential to a child's achievement in the classroom."
(At the last Ofsted inspection, in Spring 2010, the school was judged "outstanding" on engagement with parents and carers.)
There's no doubt that the school is still driven by that principle, which is why Mark Leighton will be working during the summer to ensure that SharePoint 2010 can provide an even better than usual "back to school" experience for parents and students.
A schools blog post in August 2010 discusses parental engagement issues and provides links to the five MS parental engagement case studies, both video and pdf.

I recently shared with you that we built a dog gate for our naughty dogs, but I've never formally introduced you to one of our dogs, Kacy.
How terrible of me, considering that I love her so.
She is the sweetest, naughtiest, most awesome dog.
Yes, it is possible to have all those adjectives in the same sentence . . . if it's a Jack Russell.
Sure, you've caught glimpses of her here and there, but that will just not suffice! No, you must suffer through a proud mama showing you her baby's pictures.
This is the very first photo we saw of her.
I had been thinking I wanted a Jack Russell puppy not very seriously, and one day for no particular reason, I looked at the ads in the Austin newspaper.
I remember my exact exclamation to Mark: "Oh my God, Honey, you must come look at this puppy!"
He took one look and replied, "OK, if it's a female, we'll go get her."
She was and is and we did.
She got lots of attention after we brought her home and we took plenty of baby photos of her in our photography studio in Austin.
This was her 2 month photo session.
This one shot (and the shot of her with the tennis ball) are my personal favorites.
For the first few years of her life, we also had an elderly husky named CJ that my husband brought to our marriage in 2007. CJ lived to be 16 years old, pretty rare for such a large dog.
She was such a good dog. We miss her still.
Kacy didn't quite know what to think of CJ at first.
Kacy so badly wanted to play, but poor CJ just wanted to be left alone.
(Honestly, I think there was a little bit of jealously there. CJ had been the only dog for so long, and she loved our exclusive attention.)
Of course, our rambunctious newcomer irritated her older sister a time or two, and one time, Kacy bugged CJ just a little too much, and the gator like jaws nearly got their prize……..whew that was a close one!
A few days later, she got in this little 'zen' pose one evening next to CJ, which I thought was so cute.
She loved surveying and protecting her kingdom from our front porch in Austin during her first year of life.
Here she is at 3 months.
She learned very quickly how to walk on a leash . . .
There were lots of great smells and always new humans to meet!
She learned to sit on command very quickly.
Good girl!
At 4 months, her face started to change. Her snout started to elongate a bit more.
This is her 'pretty in pink' photo session.
Considering that a Jack Russell can be very aggressive if not socialized, we made an effort to take her to the dog park early in her life, even maybe before we really should have — she was so tiny!
Going to the dog park is still one of her favorite things to do.
It was always a challenge to catch her when it was time to go home.
Here she is saying: "What do you mean you want to go home?"
Once we successfully got her in the car, she usually collapsed from exhaustion.
I guess being around CJ taught her that big dogs were not scary just because of their size.
Big dogs also seemed to be equally fascinated with her because she's so small.
(By the way, this is not a photo of Kacy and CJ, but another younger husky at the dog park.)
Due to all the playing she got to enjoy as a pup, she was all muscle by the time she was 10 months old.
When she was about this age, we began to wonder if she would have a growth spurt and get bigger . . . but she never has. She's just small for a Jack Russell. We don't know why — she didn't appear to be the runt when we got her, and her parents seemed like a normal size.
It doesn't bother us — we like that she's so small.
After CJ died, Kacy was our only dog for a few years. Because we work from home and are self-employed, she went with us everywhere.
Even to antique shows!
She loves to go anywhere we go — when she sees her harness, she literally starts squealing.
Most of the time when she comes along with us, she rides on my lap in the front.
(I know she looks half starved in the above photo, but believe me, we feed her plenty. She just has more energy than a gerbil, and any fat burns off quickly.)
Every time we slow down, I open the window a bit for her to enjoy all the smells.
We always make her a bed in the back of our SUV, and she eventually goes back there and gets more comfortable.
Still, her impulse is to be close to us all the time.
This shot was taken at my mom's house one Christmas. I think that's the year she ate a glass ornament to the tune of a $1,500 vet bill.
Mark likes to think she's Daddy's Girl.
She does love her Daddy . . . and her Mama.
(By the way, this is our current office before we started remodeling it.)
High energy? Yes. Bitchy sometimes? Yes. Smart? We're teaching her to drive. Stubborn? Absolutely! She's a Jack Russell!
She's such a sweet dog, especially when she's tired.
When she does decide to call it a night, she gets pretty clingy and always burrows underneath the covers.
Can you tell how much we love her?
But that doesn't even come close to the love she gives us every day.
P.S. Next up, you get to meet Molly!

When starting this blog I asked friends what they would be interested in seeing from a blog based around writing. One of the biggest requests I got was writing fight scenes. So… how do you write a fight scene you say?
Beats me.
I wish I had some clear advice to give, but honestly I've winged every one I've ever written. So far what I've been told is that they're good to read, but who knows if that's a bias. The way I go about it is generally thinking back to other authors, but also what you tend to see in war movies as well as novels based on war.
Yep, I said movies (Good movies mind you). I don't mean the ridiculous amounts of Michael Bay-esque explosions or the dramatic stunts and heroes who live through wounds that are blatantly fatal. I mean the chaos. You are going to be writing from the perspective of a character, so make sure to keep it that way. Keep the scene to what only they see and experience. They are not going to be aware of who is flanking who if they are in one of the center Companies unless they're an officer made privy to that information.
A lot of books on the World Wars often tend to relate the horror of war as well. Do not be afraid to get vicious with it. War is not a pretty thing. There will be blood, guts, broken bones, and mud. People get trampled, there is friendly fire, people panic, and others fly into a blood lust.
Of course, how it plays out will vary a lot based on what kind of fight we are talking about. A one on one fight is far different than a soldier on the battlefield. On the battlefield there are mass amounts of information to take in so chaos is your friend. Short sentences to the point tend to create more tension. Focus will constantly be shifting from one threat to the next and the unexpected is expected to occur.
One versus one generally is "calmer". There is only one target to focus on; one goal. I allow myself more room for observation here. In this situation my character is far more likely to notice a twitch preluding an attack or catch onto a feint than on the battlefield where there is no time for that.
A battlefield is sensory overload where as a duel is all focus. The more opponents the more likely your characters attentions will fray in multiple directions.
I suppose my main goal is not to focus too heavily on just the actions of sword slashes and magic casting, but to give the reader a sense of atmosphere. Does the battle appear to be going well? Is all hell breaking loose? What are the sounds and the sights around? Or is it all coming in so fast the character can only process it in short bursts and flashes?
For a one on one I delve more into the thought process; the calculation behind attack and defense. Character thoughts are allow to stray to something beyond just survival.
Hopefully this is of some aid. I still feel like a novice on such a subject. At the very least I hope this gives the wanted insight into my process that was requested even if it does not necessarily help.

Very arthousey Whirlpool films.
These are a couple of videos that I have finally got around to playing with and editing together. I took the original footage back in March 2010 when the River Beult burst it's banks. I ended up walking through some of the flood water in just my trainers to get this footage and then had to walk home squelching all the way (suffering for my Art). I really liked playing around with the sound on these ones. I reckon the whirlpool with debris film would be a good one to loop for about 5 hours, yeah!

Moomintroll spooked.
I've been working on a hand painted silk Moomintroll cushion for my friend Suzi's birthday present.
I did have to alter the design somewhat, as the paints were not behaving themselves. But I quite like the finished product with poor Moomintroll looking afraid of the dark.

I can't actually sell these unless Oy Moomin Characters Ltd agree to let me buy the product licence. But I don't really want to sell them, it's just a special one off.

Art Auction in aid of the RNLI, Margate Harbour Arm Gallery
I've just discovered that my work is being included in the 100 lots being auctioned for the RNLI Margate charity.
I can't tell you which piece is mine, as the auction is anonymous, but if you visit the Margate Harbour Arm facebook page you can see the 100 lots and have a good guess.
Although hopefully you will mistake it for a celebrity's postcard and pays millions for it. All for a good cause.
Of course they've only gone and got my name wrong and put Fryde. I am going to have a big strop - don't they know who I am? ;-)

Army Building - Leveraging the benefits of faction specific detachments (often called Decurions) - Part 1
Greetings all,
welcome to another post in my Army Building series - I know I've not done many of these recently, but believe me I've been plenty busy!
This post is another in my list building section of the series and kind of follows on from the formations and detachments article I wrote a while back. What I'm going to really focus on here is the factions specific detachments, so things like the Necron Decurion, the Adeptus Astartes Gladius Strike Force etc.
First I'll be looking at the principles of making the most of these formations, then I'll take you through a couple of worked examples I did at the weekend when I had the house to myself and had time to think it through properly, rather than snatching 5 minutes to quickly scribble a list as is usually my method these days.
Ok, so the faction specific detachments come in a fairly standard format now, they've been around plenty long enough to settle down nicely.
In terms of force organisation, you have three sections. Core choices, Command choices and Auxiliary choices. These are largely made up of formations but may also include unit entries such as the Thunderfire Cannon in the case of the Sternhammer Strike Force, or the Drone Net in the case of the Hunter Contingent.
You will usually be required to take at least one core formation, which then gives you access to a number of auxiliary formations, and command formations.
We'll set those aside for now however, because the first principle of building a list using these detachments is understanding what they are supposed to do for you, and hence why the article is titled as leveraging these faction specific detachments. We need to truly understand what the benefits are of taking an army fitted into these restrictions to make the most of it.
Each of the detachments, as with formations, comes with its own specific command benefits, ranging from things like granting access to doctrines in the Gladius Strike Force, to giving your units bonuses to their shooting for ganging up on the enemy in the case of the Tau Hunter Contingent.
Read these benefits carefully.
Read them again, properly this time.
Ok so the above part is slightly tongue in cheek, but there's method behind it, believe me.
Let's look first at the Gladius, as its benefits don't necessarily point you directly at taking a particular type of unit, as some of them can. It's also one where the restrictions on unit choice set a good example of what I'm talking about.
First up, the Gladius allows you to enact each of the Combat Doctrines once per game. These doctrines directly benefit the units in your army and make them work better, with each of them affecting all the relevant units, but giving a specific bonus to one type of unit. Now in terms of army selection you don't need to do a huge amount with them, as the core choice for the Gladius requires you to take certain units, most of which are affected by the doctrines (only the land speeder squadron doesn't get the benefits of the assault doctrine). It's obvious however, that the command benefit was written specifically with the demi-company in mind, as there's so much synergy between the units required in the demi-company and the doctrine system.
The second command benefit of the Gladius is the one that causes so many people irritation. If you include two demi-companies in your Gladius (ok, so a full company) then you get basic transports for free. As a maximum benefit, this means you could pick up around 550pts of transports for free. You still need to pay for upgrade armaments on them, but even so, those transports will be objective secured thanks to the formation benefits of the demi-company anyway so you can make a veritable nightmare of claiming objectives for your opponent. Imagine for example 10 drop pods hitting the table (just don't imagine painting them or you'll burst into tears), each disgorging 2 combat squads of objective secured marines - that's giving you 5 obsec units for every objective on the table. You should pretty much be able to guarantee your opponent never scores an objective in the whole game if you go first. When you look at the combination of special rules the Gladius gives to you therefore, it becomes clear that it is intended to facilitate a particular style of play - balance in your forces, through very specific unit selection options, and a total focus on the mission objectives. In this regard the Gladius then rewards very specifically the use of maelstrom mission cards that require securing of objectives, and a focus on the part of the player using it to score those same cards. Surely that's obvious though? Well other faction specific detachments lead you down a different path, enhancing the damage output potential of your army rather than focusing on objectives. It;s also why the Gladius is the 'basic' faction specific detachment for the most all round safe faction in the game - it's teaching you how to win the game, without stating this is how it's done.
A little deeper thinking illustrates the point even further - since it is fairly reasonable to accept that given free choice, many players wouldn't take the units required by the demi-company as they are some of the units that have lesser damage output and are more generic, the Gladius further balances things out by giving those units little boosts to their effectiveness.
Worked example 1 - Leveraging the Gladius
Ok so having attended the Greetings from the Warp doubles event and having been schooled in our second match on how to select an army to win based on leveraging the army selection rules (in a 1600pt list we faced 3 Riptides, a unit of Grav Centurions ignoring cover, and a Fire Raptor), I set about creating a much tougher and more effective army than I had previously planned in my comparison of the CAD and Sternhammer.
I looked in more depth at the rules for Pedro Kantor therefore, since I know he's a pretty good force multiplier anyway, and seeing them again in the light of my experience and the new marine psychic powers I figured I'd see what I could do to build a force around him. He can't be taken in the Sternhammer Strike Force, so I looked at the possibility of using the Gladius instead, and started from first principles, ditching my preference for using a knight and looking to write a solely space marine list.
Pedro Kantor is a Command choice in the Gladius Detachment, and he grants very specific benefits to models in his detachment, namely +1A within 12". He also brings preferred enemy (Orks) to the table, though that is rarely relevant in my games as it's a long long time since I've played against them. He makes Sternguard in his detachment objective secured too, so that's certainly something to bear in mind. There are therefore two very particular selections that he'll provide a benefit to - first is a unit or units that need to be in combat, as boosting the attacks of such units, combined with the option to re-roll '1's from the assault doctrine is pretty cool, and the second is a force heavy on Sternguard. In fact, if you took a 1st Company Task Force solely consisting of Sternguard as the auxiliary choice in a Gladius, Kantor himself would be the only unit that wasn't obsec!
I do like to ensure that I've got all the bases covered in my lists though, and that includes taking a good strong combat unit. Kantor himself is pretty nasty in combat, but his particular benefits obviously lend themselves towards pushing a combat unit to the max. What better unit is there in the space marine codex in that regard than the Honour Guard? It's very fluffy anyway, since Kantor is a Chapter Master, and the Honour Guard are also a choice available in the Gladius Strike Force Command selection. Combine Kantor with the Honour Guard and a Chapter Banner, and you're starting to put together a very capable assault unit, most of the members will be putting out 6 attacks each on the charge (2 base, +1 for an extra melee weapon, +1 for charging, +1 for Kantor's bonus and +1 for the Chapter Banner) using power weapons, added to Kantor's own attacks (4 base, plus 3 of the above bonuses) and you've got a unit that starts at 26 attacks for the 4 basic models and only gets more hideous from there. This unit also leverages the ability to use the assault doctrine for a turn, granting those attacks the ability to re-roll any '1's.
Incidentally I did originally consider pairing Kantor with the Centurion Siegebreaker cohort to boost up their number of attacks to a level where they will start to cause significant damage, but the difficulty of accommodating that formation in a Gladius alongside a demi-company put me off, the balance was all wrong.
I had no choice over the core formation for the detachment, so I looked at what benefits I could use from the Chapter Tactics and Gladius Strike Force to build a tough core.
3 Tactical Squads are a quite literally a must-have, so I started with them. The demi-company rules make them objective secured, so a tough transport to go with them would multiply their effectiveness on the field and force my opponents to have to clear the transports as well. I'm really liking using drop pods at the moment, and they are also the toughest of the space marine dedicated transport options, so each squad would get one. That also gives me lots of flexibility in terms of deployment, choosing which units I want to bring on early and, within reason, they can adapt to my enemy's deployment to counter them. I started with a couple of cheap 5-man units, one bringing a heavy bolter and the other a flamer. The heavy bolter is simply there for some cheap firepower (and benefits from the Imperial Fists chapter tactics of course), whilst the flamer is there to clear out horde-style models if I need to. The third squad I went a bit more to town on, sticking with the drop pod, but boosting it up to 10 men and giving it a grav cannon and grav gun. This squad could therefore reasonably look to put out quite a nasty amount of firepower against more heavily armoured units (obliterators for example) that my other tactical units might struggle to hurt. They would also benefit from the Tactical Doctrine, that I can enact twice in the game thanks to the demi-company rules.
Next choice was a devastator or centurion devastator squad. Now I know centurions are amazing, and the firepower they put out is terrifying, but I've been hatching a plan for a while on this one. At a similar cost, a devastator squad puts out significantly more damage potential than centurions, assuming all other things are equal, with an additional 5 shots. Granted, they aren't anywhere near as survivable, but in output terms they're scary good. The problem is they aren't relentless, but that can be solved with the judicious application of a Cataphractii Terminator Captain, like the one I recently bought from eBay, who not only comes with the slow and purposeful rule, which grants his unit relentless, but also gives the unit a great wound tank with a 2+ save, 4++ invulnerable with the option to re-roll '1's thanks to its overlapping energy fields. Ok, I went filthier. Give that same captain the shield eternal and he is now immune to instant death despite his T4, and his invulnerable save improves to 3++, still granting re-rolls of '1's. Give the sergeant a combi-grav and this unit now puts out a truly frightening 23 grav shots at 18" range, 20 of which will re-roll to wound and all of which are twin linked for a turn and can re-roll '1's to hit for two more turns. Once again these guys would go in a drop pod, the beauty of which is that my opponent may very well deploy to account for them to drop in on turn one, whilst I could then call their bluff by keeping them back if necessary.
Next up I needed a fast attack choice. The demi-company actually gives you quite a bit of choice in that regard, with the assault squad, bikes, of varying kinds or land speeders. The assault squad is the choice that most obviously benefits from the doctrine system, but even then their damage output is lacklustre. One thing the army is seriously lacking in at this point however is mobility - I can put the drop pods pretty much where I want them, but after that there's not much they can do to get around the table. Bikes were, and are, a good choice, but having just finished painting up my hunting force I'd had enough of them, and looking through the codex entries once more I noticed that a squad of three Landspeeders gets an extra 6" on their flat out distance. Interesting, and they'd also be objective secured thanks to the demi-company rules. Heavy bolters on top would get re-rolls from the chapter tactics, and I'm a sucker for assault cannons, especially ones that can extend their range by 12" before they fire! Three tornado speeders therefore would spit out 21 shots at S5 and above, with over half of those being S6 and rending. Nice. Equally, speeders having deep strike would mean that I didn't have to show my hand straight away, I could always keep them in reserve if I needed, and they would be fast enough to achieve most anything I needed them to.
So that was the core choice complete, now I needed to flesh out the supporting elements.
One of the key parts of those supporting elements therefore was to figure out how to get Kantor into combat. Ordinarily I'd be looking at something like a land raider or storm raven as an assault vehicle, but they're hellishly expensive for what they bring, and the new psychic powers bring a considerably safer way into combat than can otherwise be achieved, in the form of the electrodisplacement power. The best way to get that power? Well, a conclave of course, so in came three level 2 librarians. I'd look to pick up the electrodisplacement power for these guys first, and then my second port of call would be my old favourite biomancy, in the hopes of getting endurance to give a unit 4+ feel no pain. The third of the librarians would be a useful addition however to the devastator squad I felt, so I gave them terminator armour and a storm shield to give a bit more protection to my grav cannons. If everything went according to plan therefore, I could always go for something like perfect timing to grant the grav cannons ignores cover (Saturday's tournament gave me first hand experience of just how much this combo can hurt you).
I've still not got an auxiliary choice in my Gladius however, and don't have many more points of my original budget of 2000 left to play with. Thankfully however there's a formation in there that plays perfectly into the strategy I've outlined above. Using the electrodisplacement power to slingshot Kantor's unit into combat relied on something very specific, and that's having a unit in a position at the end of it's movement phase that once switched would allow a comparatively straightforward charge. The 10th company taskforce brings a couple of things to the table in that regard. First and most importantly it brings 3 units that can infiltrate and then scout up close - scout bikes in particular are very nasty in this regard. Effectively they can position themselves 24" away from their deployment location to allow the displacement power to work in the first turn. Secondly, they're pretty cheap and the scout bikes can booby trap a piece of terrain, perhaps forcing your opponent to think twice about moving through it.
A couple of minimal sniper squads and a bike squad therefore got me nicely up to the 2000pt barrier.
So how does that leverage the detachment overall?
Well, I mentioned right back at the start that objective secured was a big part of it? Well this list brings 11 obsec units, nothing to be sniffed at and almost two units for each objective in a maelstrom mission. Added to that, we then have Kantor and the Honour guard, great for taking down most units short of the most optimised combat units, and easily capable of tying down or hurting most units in the game. They would also make the most of the use of the Assault Doctrine, their high number of attacks getting great value from the ability to re-roll '1's. The Devastator Doctrine equally would give my Grav Devastators maximum value from their high rate of fire weapons, and the tactical doctrine benefits everyone for another two turns.
Short of focusing all my effort on picking up a pair of demi-companies and not having much else on the table, this list is right up there as about the best I can think of, with its only real weakness being flyers. That being said, I'm not expecting that we'll see all that many flyers in the future, and even if I do come up against one or two, the fire volume from some of my units should have me covered.
Ok so I mentioned I had two examples, but this massive wall of text is probably enough for now I think, so I'll come back and revisit the Sternhammer list in a few days.

Alaska ships in snow for Iditarod start, mimicking state's original dogsled relay
On Thursday, a regularly-scheduled Alaska Railroad freight train will deliver seven cars loaded with snow from Fairbanks to Anchorage ahead of Saturday's start, a spokesman told the Alaska Dispatch News.
In an ironic twist of fate, the dogsled race that commemorates the 1925 serum run ‒ known as the Great Race of Mercy ‒ to save the city of Nome from a diphtheria epidemic must now rely on snow shipped from elsewhere in the state to run the 2016 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
Like in 1925 ‒ when a train kicked off the relay by bringing the 20 lbs. (9.1 kg) of diphtheria antitoxin from Seward to Nenana, where it was handed off to the dog sledders to deliver the precious package to the icebound Nome ‒ a train will once again play a crucial role in the race.
"The railroad is saving our behinds and bringing 300 cubic yards of snow," Jeff Barney, Fur Rendezvous executive director, told the paper. The company is transporting the precious precipitation free of charge, he added.
"They're doing this out of the goodness of their hearts," Barney said. "It's huge for us."
The annual race is run from Anchorage to Nome in early March, and usually takes between nine and 15 days to cover the approximately 1,100-mile (1,770-km) course. The ceremonial start, in Alaska's largest city, is normally 11 miles (17.7 km), but warm weather and a lack of snow may preclude that from happening.
"It's no secret that warm temperatures for days on end have further eroded what little snow cover existed on the trail system here in Anchorage," Stan Hooley, Iditarod CEO, said in a statement. "We are exploring our options at this time as we very well may need to shorten our Day 1 Ceremonial Start."
Without the special delivery from Fairbanks, Anchorage, quite literally, would be snow-less.
A trace of snow had lingered since mid-January, but warmer-than-average temperatures wiped away the last vestiges of winter, Joe Wegman, weather service meteorologist, told the Alaska Dispatch News. By now, he said, "we've melted all of our snow, officially."
After the ceremonial start, the race heads to its traditional "restart point" in Willow. In 2015, for only the second time in the Iditarod's 43-year history, the Anchorage suburb was unable to serve as the official start because of a lack of snow. Instead, Fairbanks once again came to the rescue. The other time the race was moved from Willow was in 2003.
The start location was just a portent of things to come last year. The lack of traditional running surface ‒ snow and ice ‒ across much of the normally frozen track forced even the most experienced mushers (dogsled drivers) out of the race.
"It's the roughest I've ever seen," Jeff King, a 22-time race finisher, told the Los Angeles Times. Musher Aliy Zirkle said, "No snow. Zip. Zero. None."
In 2014, when mild weather depleted the snowpack, a construction company with experience building ice roads volunteered to fix the trail through the Rainy Pass of the Alaska Range with specialized equipment.
"You know, no one would look at the trail as it exists today out of Willow to Skwentna and say, 'gee, let's run the Iditarod on this. It's not good right now,'" Hooley told Alaska Public Media at the time. "But we've got the ability to use heavy equipment to groom and literally build a highway, and that, I think everybody feels pretty good about."
Anchorage did not see a day below freezing during the entire span of 2014.

It's a great pleasure to announce that Luminair v2.5 is now available on the App Store, as free updates to the existing Luminair for iPad and iPhone apps.
Despite it's .5 versioning, this is probably the biggest update Luminair has ever received. For the first time ever, Luminair's codebase is now unified across all iOS devices*. Luminair running on an iPhone is actually a brand new app, now based upon Luminair for iPad's award-winning design, with a new UI optimized for 4″ iPhone screens on the 5, 5s, 5c, and 5th generation iPod touch. It now benefits from core-feature compatibility with Luminair running on an iPad, as well as iCloud syncing between all iOS device types.
As a result, you're feedback has been answered. Luminair for iPad is now a universal app, newly renamed as Luminair for iOS. The iPhone-only version has also been updated to v2.5 and will still be offered for those of you not interested in using an iPad.
The new features…
One of the biggest new features in Luminair 2.5 is support for controlling Philips Hue lights right alongside DMX-controlled lighting. While these are mostly home-focused products with limitations compared to DMX-controlled lights, we think they can be utilized as design elements in things like film and TV production and architectural lighting, as well as by enthusiasts who'd like to mix and match different types of lights. Smart lights like Hue are one of the next logical steps with LED lighting control, and we intend to continue to add additional support and features for these systems in the future. Ultimately they are another tool for your designs, and we can't wait to see the way that you use them.
The next major feature to be added is one that's probably been requested more than any other feature since Luminair for iPad was originally released. That feature is a new Sound Active mode, part of the new Timing FX options, located in the Stacks mode toolbar. Sound Active mode can detect sounds from the built-in microphone and other audio input hardware to trigger lights show synced to music.
But we did not stop there. The new Sound Active mode also supports Inter-App Audio (IAA) on iOS 7. Luminair can receive sound from IAA supported apps to trigger your light shows. IAA is brand new on iOS 7, and new apps are being added frequently that support this functionality. For all of you iPad DJ's out there, Algroriddm's djay 2 already supports IAA, so you can use it as your playback source for Luminair.

Project title: Combat Exposure and Hypertension in the Post-Deployment Period: A Cohort Study
Completed in: 2011
Background: High blood pressure remains a significant risk factor for coronary heart disease, stroke and heart failure. Stress has been postulated to disrupt cardiovascular equilibrium causing short-term elevations in blood pressure acutely, and hypertension with chronic exposure. Prior studies suggest both traumatic events and stressful occupations are risk factors for hypertension.
Purpose: To determine if exposure to combat is related to the development of hypertension in a cohort of soldiers from Fort Lewis, WA.
Materials and Methods: We used multivariable logistic regression to estimate the 3-year risk of newly reported hypertension in soldiers deployed from Fort Lewis between 2005 and 2008 and who remained enrolled in the Military Health System for one year post deployment. Combat exposure was ascertained by pre- and post-deployment surveys that included a blood pressure measurement and 74 questions on demographics, physical, mental, spiritual and family health. Hypertension was assessed by self-report and by ICD-9 codes. After applying exclusion criteria, 5146 soldiers remained in the cohort.
Results: Newly reported hypertension was observed in 7.6% of the cohort between pre- and post-deployment. Soldiers exposed to combat did not demonstrate statistically significant risk of developing hypertension (adjusted odds ratio: 1.12; 95% CI: 0.84 to 1.53).
Conclusion: Although results were not statistically significant, our findings are generally consistent with previous studies, suggesting that combat exposure may lead to hypertension.

Ok, it's been a long time since I have written a gripe on my blog, and my reasons are many and of no importance to anyone but me, but I have been receiving some requests for my viewpoint on this program, so I finally decided to fire up the keyboard for this little ditty.
Data Network Affiliates came on the scene about a month ago, and was all the rage for a couple of weeks. The surrounding hoopla appears to have calmed down a bit, but that's par for the course for all new programs.
The fact is that this thing has smelled fishy to me right from the beginning, and it isn't smelling any better with the passing of time.
You know, sometimes you just have to use your intuition on these things. You know, your ability to tell right from wrong.
In case you don't even know what Data Network Affiliates is all about, here's a little exerpt directly from the website:
Welcome To Data Network Affiliates
Our mission is to turn data into dollars.
The data collection business: did over $14 Billion in revenue last year; A 12 point record on an individual is worth up to $35.00 and a 7 point record on a business is worth up to $10.00; The Direct Marketing Association says companies spent $191 billion last year on direct- response advertising. The category that includes direct mail and telephone solicitations produced $1.7 trillion in revenue.
Automobile and Truck Tags: are just the tip of the iceberg and are only Phase One of the Data Network Affiliates simple plan of action... Phase Two will be even more profitable and just as simple to obtain…
The Department of Justice reported: 797,500 children (younger than 18) were reported missing in a one-year period of time studied resulting in an average of 2,185 children being reported missing each day; 203,900 children were victims of family abductions; 58,200 children were victims of non- family abductions. ONLY 492 children since 1997, has the AMBER Alert program been credited for the safe recovery. DNA could help in such safe recoveries. If DNA helped save ONE MORE CHILD it's worth it?
Sounds really important, doesn't it?
Well, it's nothing but hogwash, smoke and mirrors and the Dreaded CRAP, which I hate more than anything!
What this is REALLY about is just the collecting of license plate numbers from Walmart parking lots, and making money doing it!
First of all, I could not imagine sitting in a parking lot, writing down other peoples' license plate numbers, because it just seems inherently WRONG and invasive of other peoples' privacy...period. That's just not for you and I to do. It's for law enforcement officers.
I mean, how would you feel if you walked out of Walmart and caught someone standing behind your car, writing down your plate number? Would you feel violated? Angry? I bet you sure would. And you would most certainly know it was just plain WRONG that someone was invading your privacy like that!
And if you were the one doing the date collecting, what would you say to that person? You would have to make up some corny story just to keep them from calling the cops on you or punching you right in the face!
But, I digress...
Upon using your brain, you will realize what a bunch of BS this really is, because do you really think that Law Enforcement Agencies are going to pay billions of dollars to some rinky dink MLM Data Collection Company????

text: I'm ready to install the required breaker and wiring for future electric charging and wanted to understand the best sizing for wiring and breaker. What is the maximum size breaker for use on a 6/3 copper cable with less then 20ft run from breaker to receptacle. I have seen 50amp breaker for 6/3 wire that would allow 40 amps current to vehicle, can I use 80 amp breaker on #6/3 and provide 64 amp current to vehicle? I'm assuming this would allow quicker charging time to vehicle.

Emergent Ventures International Pte. Ltd. (EVI) conducted a day long initial stakeholder consultation workshop for 'National Survey on Non-ODS Alternatives in the Philippines'. The workshop held on 2nd December 2016 in Manila, was facilitated by the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) through the Philippine Ozone Desk (POD) and the HPMP Project Management Unit with support from The World Bank. EVI is providing consultancy services to the World Bank in executing the project National Survey on Non-ODS Alternatives in the Philippines'. The project aims to assist the Government of the Philippines to better understand historical and predicted consumption trends for non-ODS alternatives and their distribution by sectors and sub-sectors in the country. With this objective, the workshop intended to engage stakeholders from across industry groups and industry experts to introduce them with project background and its objectives and seek their inputs on aspects regarding the use of non-ODS alternatives in the Philippines.
At present, Philippines, as a party to the Montreal Protocol and as an Article 5 country, is implementing the HCFC Phase out Management Plan (HPMP) Stage-I followed by 10% reductions in Hydro Chloro Flouro Carbon (HCFC) consumption by 2015. Philippines is also taking steps for preparation of HPMP Stage-II which will contribute towards the 35% reduction of its baseline consumption by 2020. With this aim, the country wants to prepare a 'technology roadmap" and hence is required to study the current and future role of HCFCs, HFCs and other existing and emerging ODS alternatives (e.g., hydrocarbons, HFOs) in the economy. Through the survey, EVI would provide the countries with a comprehensive overview of their national markets where ODS alternatives have been and will be phased in, while taking into consideration other existing technologies. EVI has identified Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (Equipment Manufacturing and Servicing) and Foam manufacturing companies as the major HCFC and HFC consuming companies in Philippines, and is reviewing the technical, institutional and regulatory framework controlling ODS and Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) in Philippines.
Department of Environment Natural Resources (DENR), Bureau of Customs, AECOM, producers, distributors and consumers of substances, Philippines railways, Foam and RAC industries' associations, World Bank and other international agencies implementing MP were the key stakeholders who attended the workshop. Final stakeholder consultation workshops are proposed to be organized to present the results; discuss procedure for preparation of inventory and possible mitigation plans.
The six month project has been awarded to EVI in consortium with Greenleaf New Technology Ventures Inc. (GNTV) in September 2016 by World Bank. EVI brings together the best of international and local technical experience in the Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) management space and excellent local reach and relationships within the Refrigeration and Air conditioning (RAC), foam and other relevant sectors.

Jurisdictions with no recent executions
Although the United States is considered a death penalty country, executions are rare or non-existent in most of the nation: the majority of states—31 out of 50—have either abolished the death penalty or have not carried out an execution in at least 10 years. An additional 6 states have not had an execution in at least 5 years, for a total of 37 states with no executions in that time. Three additional jurisdictions (the District of Columbia, the Federal Government, and the Military) have not had an execution in at least 10 years.
The tables below list the jurisdictions with no executions in many years (updated November 21, 2018):
Number in parentheses indicates total executions since 1976.

The STAMPEDE to weight-loss and cardiovascular health27 May 2014
BCS Editorial
By: Adil Rajwani
Northern Deanery
A landmark report in 1995 provocatively labelled bariatric weight-loss surgery as the most effective therapy for diabetes.(5) Much observational data has subsequently confirmed the substantial impact on glycaemic control and cardiovascular risk factors.(4) Concerns are voiced however over the potential bias incurred by self-selecting participants in observational studies, and the relatively short follow-up in randomised studies to date. The Surgical Treatment and Medications Potentially Eradicate Diabetes Effectively (STAMPEDE) trial therefore sought to test the durability and tolerability of randomised weight-loss interventions.
At 3-year follow-up, the reductions in glycaemia, medication use and weight remained larger, more rapid and more sustained in both surgical groups than the intensive medical control group. Mean HbA1c reduction was an absolute 1.9 percentage points greater in the surgical group than control, and mean weight loss was 19.5kg greater. No life-threatening complications or death were reported, although 4 patients required additional surgical interventions. Significant gastrointestinal morbidity occurred at a rate of 0.18 complications/patient in the surgical groups, compared to 0.05 in the control group. However, quality of life at 3-year follow-up improved across a number of mental and physical domains in the surgical groups, whereas no significant improvements were seen in the control group. Almost 50% and 30% of the surgical cohort no longer needed medication to achieve HbA1c levels of <≤7% and ≤6% respectively, whereas all control patients continued to require medication. Of note, improvements were equivalent irrespective of whether BMI at baseline was greater or less than 35. LDL cholesterol and blood pressure changes were not significantly different, but the surgical groups required fewer medications to achieve targets.
As a study conducted at one quaternary medical centre with one surgeon performing all bariatric procedures, these data may not be entirely representative. STAMPEDE also proved under-powered to test numerical differences between the 2 surgical techniques, and as such has not contributed greatly to this debate. Relatively little detail is provided regarding psychiatric considerations, and the study suffers from the not-unexpected attrition of patients from the control group. Nonetheless, these data are an important addition to the evidence base that is demanded by patients, clinicians and commissioners.

Life After Loss – Ten Years in America
April 19th – it is just a normal day for most of you, but for me, it is a life changing date that I probably will remember forever. Ten years ago, on that day, I came to America and started my new life in Michigan. When I stepped out of the airport, I was shocked. I couldn't read any signs on the road and I couldn't understand anything others were saying. I was totally lost. But I knew I had my man and he would be my bridge to this whole new world. As long as I had him, I was not afraid.
My man and I met in Shanghai. I knew no English and he only could say "hi," "goodbye," "thank you," and "beer" in Chinese (this may or may not be an improvement over my stepdaughter who to this day knows "melon", "watermelon," "cantaloupe," and "hi"). Through body language and a handy dictionary, we felt we had known each other for our whole lives. We knew what each other was thinking and we were always so happy to be together. So 10 years ago, I gave up my family, my career, my friends, and my life in Shanghai and came here to marry my man. But now he was gone. As you can imagine, I was quite blue a few days prior April 19th this year. I was not sure what I wanted to do on that day. I wanted to be happy and celebrate this special day, but I really wanted to do it with him, just like the past 9 years.
Traditionally, my husband and I always go to a Mexican restaurant to celebrate. You may ask why a Mexican restaurant? Why not a Chinese or American restaurant? It has to go back 10 years ago on 4/19. After 30+ hours of flights from China, I was super tired, and maybe a little grumpy too.;) My man knew I would not like the American Chinese food and I was not a fan of any western food at that time either. He really wanted to find something that I could enjoy, so he came up with a great idea. He thought since Chinese and Mexicans both like rice, I must like Mexican food. 😉 By the way, in China, Mexican food is very rare and I only had Taco Bell before in Shanghai. I can honestly tell you, the dinner my first day was a disaster. It was so bad, in fact, I was worried that I may starve to death in this country. Anyway, we often laughed at that day and every year we eat Mexican food to celebrate my first day in America.
This year the evening before 4/19, I was quite sad, but I didn't want to cry because I was going to see Stacy London the next day. I really didn't want big, puffy eyes for that important day. When I was working on my computer, suddenly my calendar popped up and said "Tomorrow Grace came to America for 10 years". It was the reminder my man set on his phone and we shared our calendar. This finally triggered my tears. I cried for about an hour. I was so angry at whoever is responsible for taking my man away from me. Why me? Why him? Why us? I was also very sad because he would be so proud of me of for getting the chance to meet with Stacy London.
I posted my 10 years anniversary on my social media early that morning on April 19th. I was surprised to see there were a lot of people telling me congrats. I was like, "what can I be congratulated about?" It was a very sad day for me because of my husband 's departure. Later that day, I finally realized, yes, it is a day that I need to celebrate, even without him. For an individual human being, I did achieve a lot in the last decade. I found my true love and got married, had my first house, learned English, learned how to drive, learned American culture, got my own family, got my teaching certificate, got a full time teaching job, became a blogger and a TV co-host… and although now my man passed away, I am still holding my head up high and chasing my fashion dream.
My 10th anniversary of moving to America turned out to be one of the greatest days of my life. I hung out with Stacy London for the whole afternoon. You can read all the details here. I also met a new friend, Inez, who is a fellow blogger in Michigan and later we went to my favorite Mexican restaurant for dinner. We were talking about our lives and sipping margaritas. Life is still great!
10 years down, more great years to come!
