The Laguna Niguel City Council held a special meeting Tuesday with Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Costa Mesa) to discuss his views and work on various issues, should he be elected as the congressman for the newly redrawn 48th Congressional District.
That new district will include Seal Beach, Sunset Beach, Fountain Valley, Midway City, parts of Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Laguna Niguel, Aliso Viejo, and portions of Garden Grove, Santa Ana and Westminster.
Rohrabacher currently represents the 46th District, which jogs from Costa Mesa to Huntington Beach up to Long Beach and Palos Verdes, but redistricting tied to the Census has him seeking reelection in changed territory.
Rohrabacher, who announced in June he would run for reelection in 2012, took questions from the council members.
In response to a question asked by Councilman Joe Brown on where major budget cuts will come from, Rohrabacher said he wasn't in favor of the U.S. deficit "super committee," made up of six Democrats and six Republicans who are tasked with slashing the federal deficit.
"I voted against the super committee," Rohrabacher said. "I don't think it will accomplish anything. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it does.
"Right now our country isn't going anywhere because we have two philosophies that are at a head with each other," he added. "Both sides think that what they want to do will make the country better. It's pretty hard to find a compromise."
Councilwoman Linda Lindholm voiced concern about needed transportation funds for the city.
"We have a landlocked city," she said, noting that the Santa Ana (5) and Corona del Mar (73) freeways are the major roads used to get in and out of Laguna Niguel, and if something happened to them it could be a real problem.
"We could use help with our interchanges," Lindholm said, adding that transportation improvements would also benefit Laguna Beach and Dana Point.
Rohrabacher said he is very supportive of helping the city with transportation issues and funds, but he didn't know how far he would be able to go to help the city get the transportation money it needs.
"Budget cuts aside, I'll be meeting with you (if elected) more than once a year to determine what your needs are and do what I can to put pressure on the powers that be to get that done," he said.
Another big issue, brought up by Councilman Robert Ming, concerned illegal immigrants and the recent signing by Gov. Jerry Brown of Assembly Bill 1236, the Employment Acceleration Act of 2011.
The new law prohibits "the state, or a city, county, city and county, or special district, from requiring an employer other than one of those government entities to use an electronic employment verification system except when required by federal law or as a condition of receiving federal funds."
"Illegal immigration issues are one of the biggest I have worked on for years," Rohrabacher said. "It's a national security issue and it affects the quality of life for my constituents."
Rohrabacher went on to say that illegal immigrants affect everything from car accidents with uninsured drivers to the loss of wages and jobs.
"We have every race and ethnicity here," he said. "We have no apologies to make."
Illegal immigration is a local and national issue, according to Rohrabacher.
"We're going to lose our country. Our loyalty has to be to the American family," he said.
Other issues Rohrabacher said he's involved with are science and foreign affairs, as well as water quality.
Water quality may already be seeing some improvement, he said.
During a recent surf session at Doheny State Beach, Rohrabacher said he noticed the water quality was better now than a few years ago.
When it comes to foreign affairs, he said that although he supported President Bush's decision to invade Iraq, he believes it was the worst mistake made.
"I don't believe in sending troops all over world," he said. "That's a great disservice to them and our country."
His efforts in foreign affairs include working on troops not getting deployed into what he called "mission impossible."
"That doesn't mean I don't support taking on our enemies," he added.
He referred to his time working for President Reagan, whom he said didn't deploy troops all over the world.
"The one time (we were sent into) Beirut, (Reagan) got our butts out of there," Rohrabacher said. "To stay would have been a quagmire ... that's the way to do it and succeed."

The listing in Appendix F does actually specify stretchy="true" for the entries where it should be true. However, to save space, the table leaves out attributes that have the same value as the default for operators not in the disctionary. The text at the start of Appendix F says: > Any attribute not listed for some entry has its default value, which > is given in parentheses in the table of attributes in Section 3.2.5 > Operator, Fence, Separator or Accent (mo). If you look in 3.2.5, you will see that the default value for "stretchy" listed in parentheses is false. Hence, the Operator Dictionary in Appendix F only lists the cases where stretchy="true".

Here's a huge update on what's been going on these very busy last few weeks! Prepare yourself for a lot of photos!First off, I had a great time at the Flint Horror Con! It was an awesome event that ran very smoothly, had a great turnout, and everyone there (fans and guests alike) had a wonderful time! Kudos to Flint Horror Con and all the volunteers involved for putting on such a cool event, I hope to be a part of it again next year! A special shout-out to some of my favorite guests at this con that I enjoyed visiting with: Brian Germain and Tom Sullivan. You guys rock!
|A nice writeup about me on the Flint Horror Con website!
|Some readers went home with some horrific
short stories to read :)
|During the few moments of downtime I had, I prepped Zombie books
for the Detroit Fanfare Con which was only 1 week later
After Flint Horror Con came Detroit Fanfare, It was also a blast! I had a couple new things for this event that I was very excited about and they also had a great reception by the fans at Detroit Fanfare!
First was the big one, the Detroit Fanfare Exclusive Limited Edition book: J. Werner's Zombie Sketchbook! This book included over 100 of my zombie sketches and illustrations and each book was numbered (only 50 books made!), signed, and included an original sketch drawn directly on the inside front cover. The second new item available for the first time was prints of my new Deadpool piece. Everything went very well, one of the most fun convention I've ever done. Special thanks to Drunk On Comics for doing a very fun podcast interview with me and Real Detroit Weekly for the shout-out to me, that was a very nice surprise! Special shout-out to some of my favorite guest at this convention: Mark Bloodworth, Gary Reed, Jason Westlake, Ted Woods, Andrew Shirey, Adam and Comfort Love, Red Anvil Productions, and DrunkOnComics.com!

Check out Ed Friedland's instructional catalog. There are books and DVDs for a wide range of interests and skill levels. Click on the cover and read a brief description of each title, and click on the link to purchase.
Title: Bass Grooves
Description: Bass Grooves illuminates many aspects of the Time/Groove continuum. There are activities to help you internalize rhythm; to understand drum parts by programming drum machines; learn how to use the natural tendencies of the instrument to affect the groove; learn 25 different styles of groove (written and on CD - with drum parts); and tips from some of the groovin'est players in the world, and an essay on the metaphysics of the groove.
Title: Bass Improvisation
Description: The soloing method that teaches you a variety of improvisational strategies. Rhythmic and melodic phrasing, vertical development, chord/scale concept, internal melodies, the language of bebop and more. There are of course tracks to play with, and all written examples are performed on the CD as well. The reading and technical level are challenging.
Title: Bass Licks
Description: Brand New! This book starts with quarter-note melodic motifs from categories like "Box Shape", "Major", "Minor", and "Chromatic", and then morphs them into grooves in Straight 8th, Shuffle 8th, Sixteenth, and Swing Sixteenth rhythms. A great way to learn how to interpret ideas in different styles.
Title: Blues Bass
Description: This book is a style supplement to the Hal Leonard Electric Bass Method. I've put my many years of experience playing the blues scene into a practical guide for the up and coming blues bassist. I discuss blues forms, lines and feels, intros, endings, stops and hits, and include full arrangements of many must-know blues classics like Hideaway, Sweet Home Chicago, Pride and Joy, Tore Down and many more. After you've learned everything in this book, you'll be ready to hit the local blues jam and do it right. A whole world of $50 gigs in smoke filled bars will be yours for the taking.
Title: Blues Jam Session
Description: This book is not designed for bass players... sorry. It's simply 40 play along blues tracks for guitarists, horn, harmonicas, etc. Every type of rhythmic and stylistic variation you can imagine, in many different keys.
Title: Building Rock Bass Lines
Description: This book is the rock and roll version of my first book "Building Walking Bass Lines". I use the same basic concept of target and approach notes to show you how to create your own bass lines in a rock context. Using the most common rhythms in rock music, you start learning what notes work with different chords, and how to find them all over the neck. The first rock bass method that truly prepares you to go out and join a band. After learning the contents of this book, you'll be able to show up at band practice or to the gig and play your own ideas, not just follow the guitarist's left hand.
Title: Building Walking Bass Lines
Description: Designed for the beginning jazz player, this is my first book. Originally written as my Masters Thesis at Cambridge College in 1991, I examined the gaps in the existing literature, and set out to write a book that would help people learn the process bassists use when creating their own bass lines—not just show them some lines and leave it at that. It was the first walking bass method book to come with play along tracks, something you take for granted now. Based on the feedback I receive from students all over the world (it's available in Japanese, French and Spanish too) this method seems to work for people. You start by identifying the target notes of a chord, (root, five and octave) and then work with different approach notes (chromatic, scale and dominant) to lead you into the targets. It explains many other ideas like scalewise motion, chromatic motion, arpeggiation, targeting other chord tones, and much more. There are many great feeling jazz tracks to play with, including 10 full length standard progressions.
Title: Expanding Walking Bass Lines
Description: The follow-up to BWBL. It starts out with rhythmic embellishment - skips, triplets, dead notes and moves into targeting scale and chromatic notes. You learn about modal playing with a concept I call "Modal Mapping", playing more outside lines with implied harmony, and other more advanced topics. It's a good choice for the player that already has a solid grasp on the fundamentals. There is also a section that gives you a chance to practice the essential skill of picking up tunes by ear. The three "mystery" tunes are on the CD without any changes written. You have to learn them strictly by ear! You're not left totally alone, there are many helpful suggestions to prepare you for this seemingly impossible task. In the real world, bassists MUST be able to play tunes they don't know - without music. Sounds scary, and maybe it is at first, but keep in mind that jazz musicians do this every day. Why not you?
Title: Hal Leonard Bass Method Complete
Description: This combines all 3 books and CDs of the Hal Leonard Bass Method into one massive tome. You wind up saving some bucks by purchasing them this way.
Title: Hal Leonard Bass Method DVD
Description: This DVD is a companion to the Hal Leonard Bass Method. It sticks pretty closely to Book 1, but also has material from Book 2 and the Easy Pop Bass Lines series. It's a helpful tool for the absolute beginner bassist. It also comes packaged with the HL Bass Method Book 1, a great pairing and discounted too.
Title: Hal Leonard Electric Bass Method: Book 1
Description: The completely rewritten method for electric bass! This is the ultimate beginner book. It makes the most basic aspects of bass playing incredibly easy. It starts you out learning the notes string by string, you learn simple rhythms and apply everything with fun tracks to play with. All along the way, you learn useful and important musical information. Coming soon is the companion DVD. The total package is a complete, comprehensive, well organized method that will take you from the very first steps to advanced level.
Title: Hal Leonard Electric Bass Method: Book 2
Description: Book 2 of the method teaches you classic box shape licks, blues lines and how to move them around the fingerboard, major and minor scales and arpeggios, syncopated 8th note rhythms, the shuffle rhythm, and is full of great tracks to play with.
Title: Hal Leonard Electric Bass Method: Book 3
Description: Book 3 gets into 16th note rhythms, 7th chords, pentatonic scales, learning how to play off chord symbols, how to use triads to create bass lines, locking in to the groove and slap bass. Of course, there are lots of great tracks to play with.
Title: Jazz Bass
Description: This is a more global approach to jazz playing. In addition to walking bass lines, you also learn about playing 3/4, latin, ballads, two feel, performance protocol, intros, endings, and much more. There are plenty of tracks, as well as 7 full jazz arrangements with intros, endings, solos (even for the bass player). I use this book in many of my jazz workshops.
Title: Jazz jam Session
Description: This book is not primarily designed for bass players, it is a jazz play along book/cd for soloists. If you want to solo to a burning jazz rhythm section, this is a great item. In addition to the changes for each tune, I've also included improvisational guidelines in the form of a written "solo" for each track. JJ Johnson (John Mayer) is the grooving drummer, and Red Young (Eric Burdon) plays piano, these guys will certainly kick your butt and make you play!
Title: Jazz Upright Bass DVD
Description: This is the perfect tool for the upright bassist that is new to jazz playing. Topics discussed are: right and left hand techniques, fingerboard tricks, rhythmic embellishment, jazz bow technique, performance protocol, intros, endings, trading 4's, feel changes, and much more. Live trio performances.
Title: Pentatonic Scales For Bass
Description: Brand new! This book fully explores the major and minor pentatonic scales with multiple fingerings, technical exercises, pentatonic modes. Learn how to effectively use these scales to create bass lines, and how to super-impose different scales over chords for soloing.
Title: R&B Bass Masters
Description: This book profiles 10 of the great early R&B bass masters; James Jamerson, Jerry Jemmott, Chuck Rainey, Duck Dunn, Tommy Cogbill, David Hood, Ronnie Baker, Willie Weeks, George Porter Jr. and Bootsy Collins. There are detailed bios, selected discographies, recommended cuts, gear details, stylistic breakdowns, and transcriptions of classic lines - recorded on CD, and written in notation and tab, with drum parts too! This book is a must have for bassists of all styles, it's a detailed history of the early pioneers of electric bass. Go back to the source!
Title: Reggae Bass
Description: This is a terrific book for those interested in Jamaican music. Reggae is a whole universe unto itself, an entire musical culture. This book breaks down the music in chronological order from the early Ska of the 1960s to Rock Steady, Reggae, Roots, Modern Ska and Dancehall. Many of the most popular classic "riddims" are here, written in tab and standard notation. The tracks are awesome! They feature members past and present of Neon Prophet, one of the top Reggae bands in the Southwest. (They let me play on the session, and no... I am NOT the guy on the cover!)
Title: Slap Bass DVD
Description: The first slap bass instructional to be produced in native DVD format. Taking full advantage of the navigational convenience of DVD, this 105 minute video is packed with essential exercises to develop your chops. Perfect for new slappers, this DVD starts right at the very beginning. The exercises are expanded into fun grooves that further work the concepts you've learned. It progesses into intermediate and advanced techniques, so this DVD will keep you learning for a long time. There are several aspects of this program that make it even more valuable than the rest. Learning how to program your drum machine (and play grooves that fit), how to create your OWN funk lines with simple forms, equipment guidance, stylistic nuances of master slappers Larry Graham, Louis Johnson and Marcus Miller and much more.
Title: The Working Bassist's Toolkit
Description: This book is a compilation of many of my "in the trenches" instructional articles from the golden days of Bass Player magazine (1993-2001). Designed to help the career-minded bassist develop the most critical real world skills needed to succeed. Ear training, time keeping, faking tunes, playing different styles, thumb/mute technique, jazz survival tips, playing wedding gigs, reading chord charts, doubling and more. The included CD has tracks to play along to as well as an ear training workout, a "style-o-rama" vamp and the infamous "random modulation torture test".

From a report on CNN, we learn that new technology devised by a Connecticut firm, The Green Revolution Inc is turning sessions at the gym into clean renewable electricity. It's a workout that hopes to work out some of our energy problems and offers a glimpse of what could be achieved if we all do our bit for the environment.
The first devices were recently installed on seventeen bicycles at the Ridgefield Fitness Club in Ridgefield, Connecticut. The Green Revolution device can retrofit major brands of indoor cycling equipment.
A group of around 20 bikes used throughout a year has the potential to create 3,600 kilowatt hours of electricity, according to Green Revolution founder and CEO Jay Whelan. That, he says, equates to lighting 72 homes for a month.
With 36,000 health clubs in the U.S., that could translate into 2,592,000 homes electrified by spin classes. Read the CNN story here , and more about The Green Revolution, Inc. here.

Our intrepid food traveler James C. is back in Italy after a holiday visit to the US. And look at him, tormenting low-carb me with that lovely photo of tagliatelle.
By the way, the low-carb diet is going well for me, notwithstanding looking at pornographic photographs of buttery noodles ooching all over each other. I feel great, and have tons more energy. Unfortunately, I still have significant back pain from the early December car accident, and can't start exercising again. Nevertheless, I seem to be losing a bit of weight. I made it through the detox period, and am having no trouble staying away from bread, pasta, and sugar. But then, I don't live in France or Italy.

Life has been calm and quiet-ish lately, though we did drive about 24 hours over three days to get to Missouri and back to Texas for Micah's family reunion last weekend. It was about as nuts as it sounds. Grace was sort of a bear on the trip there (which we did in one day) but was an angel on the trip back. And we had fun seeing Micah's aunts and uncles and cousins for the first time in several years. But I am henceforth boycotting any road trips longer than three hours for next six months. My mama heart can't take any more.
I'd say that Grace is, like, 90% potty-trained, which is kind of insane. Everyone says you have to let kids do it on their own timetable, and that has been very, very true for her. We're still doing Pull-Ups during nap time and at night, but she's sporting her Frozen underwear the rest of the time with very few accidents. Hallelujah and amen.
I'm going to see Taylor Swift in concert this weekend. Again! And I'm as excited as I was the first time around. Even more, actually, because I know how amazing she is live. There will be dancing and singing and red lipstick and fun with my best friend.
Speaking of my best friend. We booked a girls' trip to New York for November, and I am giddy. Like, SO FREAKING EXCITED. She has never been, and I'm always aching for that city. We've started making a "We Must See/Eat These Things" list, and here's what's on it for me.
– St. Patrick's Cathedral (since it was covered in scaffolding the last time I went)
– Stroll through Greenwich Village/Chelsea and eat/shop at Chelsea Market
– Serendipity for frozen hot chocolate (touristy, I know, but I've never tried it)
– Macaroons and
– Spice Market for dinner
– Dinner on a rooftop
I just love that you can always experience something new in New York, no matter how many times you visit. We're staying at New York Palace, and I will very much be imagining myself into Gossip Girl the entire trip. (It's apparently where much of the show was filmed.) So that's exciting.
I'm on Day 12 of another Whole30. Ha. I know I crashed and burned on Whole30 #3, but it feels good this time, and I don't have any events coming up to tempt me. I've been a bit looser with the rules this time but have not had any legitimate, "Screw it all, I'm eating chips and queso today!" moments. And I made Paleo deviled eggs last night, and they are amazing. I'm fairly certain they'll be my go-to breakfast from now on. Which is just so weird.
So that's what's up.
P.S. Gracie is still cute.

Tree 180 is the topology that is similar to the extended star topology. The primary difference is that it does not use one central node. It uses a trunk node from which it branches to other nodes. There are two types of tree topologies: the binary tree (each node splits into two links) and the backbone tree (a backbone trunk has branch nodes with some links hanging from it). The trunk is a main wire that has several layers of branches. From a logical perspective, the flow of information is hierarchical.

Publication Date: January 13, 2005
Mama Duck is playing hide-and-seek with her ducklings. As fast as you can say one, two, three, they find hiding spots. Except for Dawdle Duckling, that is. He takes his time . . . and gets some help from his friends. Turtle, Frog, and Fish all suggest that he hide behind them. But they're much smaller than Dawdle Duckling. And Mama Duck is about to come looking. How can our hero win the game?
Ollie, ollie, in free! This is a happy, funny tale of friendship, cooperation, and the joy of play-a terrific companion to Dawdle Duckling, which Kirkus Reviews called "just right for the preschool set" and Publishers Weekly dubbed "immensely satisfying."

Kyrgios, Stosur confront Open fates
For the third straight year, Nick Kyrgios is through to the Australian Open second round as Samantha Stosur is forced to confront a painful loss.
How the 33-year-old must lament how easy her younger compatriot finds the Melbourne Park stage.
In five attempts, Kyrgios has never lost an opening encounter.
That continued on Monday night when the world No.17 strolled to a 6-1 6-2 6-4 defeat of world No.98 Rogerio Dutra Silva.
"I know I'm hitting the ball well," Kyrgios said.
"But to go out there in front of the crowd again, just trying to play well, I was a bit nervous.
"Still managed to get it done."
Kyrgios heads into a second-round clash with Viktor Troicki - who denied locals an all-Australian match-up by beating Alex Bolt in five sets.
"He's tricky," Kyrgios said of the Serbian, ranked 65.
"He's got a good serve. He has a great backhand. He's a journeyman. He's been on the tour for a long time and won a lot of matches.
"There's not many people that come back from two sets to love down and win against an Aussie in Australia. He's a tough competitor."
As Kyrgios prepares to emulate his electrifying quarter-final run of 2015, Stosur was left to ponder another lost opportunity.
Despite carrying the can for Australian tennis for so long, the Queenslander has never reached the last eight at her home slam.
She had a match point against Monica Puig on Monday but lost 4-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-4 in another heartbreaking defeat.
Stosur has had 16 cracks at the tournament. In 10 of those, the world No.42 been out in the opening two rounds.
"Everyone else makes a bigger deal about it than what I do," she said.
"But, look, I was one point away. I'd be in the second round if I won one more point.
"I do everything I can to try to have a better result here in Australia. For whatever reason, it just won't happen for me.
"I'll come back next year and do it all over again.
In the meantime, Stosur will reboot for her favourite event - the French Open - where she's reached the semi-finals four times in the last decade.
"My schedule is heavily based around trying to play as much as I can on the clay," she said.
"There's three massive tournaments for us in Madrid, Rome and the French ... that's certainly a target.
"Before that, you got Indian Wells and Miami, which I think I can play well on those surfaces.
"The next little bit of time is probably a good time for me to get excited and try and play my best tennis over there."

- It must play nicely with the standard XNA environment, making code interoperability easy.
- It must not play too nice with XNA, as in being 100% married to XNA's content manager since I am phasing it out.
- It must be light weight.
- It must be simple enough that I eventually can reach 100% understanding of it so I can fix bugs and add new effects and tweak shaders.
- It must tolerate procedural generation. I do not open a visual editor and place items manually. I write code.
- And finally, it must be fast. A low tech XNA Reach backend would also be great, but I'll write my own if needed, no problem.
This was done using J.Coluna's Light Pre-Pass implementation (J.Coluna | Game development) as a rendering engine. Shadows are still a little bit aliased, but the texel size is a lot smaller than my SSM. I did not like the SSAO effect, so I turned it off. I need to update my terrain texturing and grass animation shaders for LPP, so this is why you can't see them, but otherwise everything works fine, looks good and performs great. As a bonus, skinned animations are also implemented. So I must thank J. Coluna for making this available. It is a very good implementation, where I just need to increase then number of cascades and find a new SSAO implementation. Even if I eventually don't end up using it, I already learned a ton from it and by screwing around with his CSM implementation, I'll surely further enhance my own knowledge.

Rupert Chawner Brooke was born on August 3, 1887, the second son of a public schoolmaster. He was educated at Rugby, his father's school, and in 1906 entered Cambridge, where he soon became prominent in both literary and social spheres. By 1909 he was president of the university's Fabian socialist society and had graduated in Classics.
In 1909 Brooke began to publish verse, and a collection, Poems, appeared in 1911. By this time he had befriended the editor, civil servant and socialite Edward Marsh, who featured his work in the first two Georgian Poetry collections. Brooke was now one of the Georgian poets and he appeared alongside his friends Abercrombie, Gibson and Drinkwater in the journal New …

How to Read Feedly On Kindle
Since Google closed their RSS reader service Google Reader, many users had to switch to another RSS reader service, and Feedly is the lucky dog among all the competitors, it won most of former Google Reader users and kept refreshing their records.
With Google Reader, we have so many choices to push the contents to our eBook Reader gadget like Kindle. I can remember last year, I always connect my Kindle to WiFi after wake up to get RSS contents, then read them on my way to work.
I've searched long time for a handy tool which helps me read my feeds on Kindle ever since I switch from Google Reader to Feedly, until days ago I found this website: FabReadly.
Anyone is able to use without any instruction, just sign in with Feedly and register an account, input your Kindle email address then you can read your RSS contnets on your Kindle.
FabReadly supports Kindle devices and Sony PRS-T2 at the moment, the pushed content even includes images. In addition, you can link your FabReadly account to Pocket and Evernote, then you can save an article to Pocket or Evernote on your Kindle.
However, this service is still in beta version, I believe more handy features are on the way. The most important thing for it, is users, more and more users.
So if you are a Feedly & Kindle user, try this service should be on your schedule.

Don't you get them from Game Corner? That's where you get them in most of the other games.Go play some slots.
Better to live like there was a God, then die and find out there isn't than to live like there wasn't a God then die and find out there is.
Don't correct Grievi's spelling. Ever.
Also, Gunner is one of the children.
Not really, I never actively played RSE. Although I'd like to post my explanation of how Glalie and Froslass float. You see those horns? Those must be horns that control magnetism a la Magneto. They levitate by repelling Earth's magnetic field. I'm pretty sure that Glalie would have magnetic manipulation abilities, but Froslass could only levitate itself due to its smaller horns. Does anyone think this makes sense?

Folsom Calif. — Last week, the Blueberry Council launched Dynamo Digest, a blog component to their website. The new blog, found at blueberry.dev.crtpr.com/foodservice/dynamo-digest, aims to offer an extensive range of information, tips and advice from chefs and foodservice professionals. In association with 'Little Blue Dynamos,' the blog's name also reflects the dynamic communications needed to match the ever-changing conditions of the foodservice industry.
Mark Villata, Executive Director of the USHBC, is excited about the initiative and what it has to offer. "There is a constant influx of information with which people in foodservice need to be kept up to speed. Dynamo Digest will be a valuable resource for creative ways to use blueberries, and will go beyond that." In addition to introducing ways to use various forms of blueberries like fresh, dried, frozen and liquid, the blog will also divulge insights from dietitians, chefs and foodservice professionals on topics such as produce news, school programs, menu trends and dining experiences.
While Dynamo Digest is intended for foodservice professionals, the blog also offers plenty to consumers fascinated with food and chefs, who are increasingly exploring new ingredients, looking to discover unique flavor combinations, and who are taking a growing interest in the latest food and lifestyle trends.

About Us
Martin Strain, the founder, comes from an old Olema ranching family. His great-great grandfather, Henry Strain, was part of a wave of immigrants that began farming in the valley in the 1850's, and he and his 8 children dairyed, timbered, and farmed potatoes on the same property just a few miles north of Bolinas. His son Everett eventually leased the ranch in 1920 and relocated to the Santa Clara Valley, where he continued farming.
Martin started Point Reyes Oyster in 1985 to realize his dream of working outdoors, just downstream of the land that his ancestors once farmed. He has sold his oysters, clams, and mussels at Bay Area restaurants and farmer's markets for over 30 years, always striving to bring the freshest product to market. Together with his two children, Whittaker and Lindsey, they have founded Bodega Bay Oyster to connect with locals and visitors in west Sonoma County.
Bodega Bay Oyster is the new sister company and retail outlet for Point Reyes Oyster Company, a shellfish farm located in Tomales Bay. The farm consists of 92 acres of pristine, plankton-rich waters located in three distinct areas of the bay. From the first bushel harvested over 30 years ago to its current production in excess of one million, our mission is to bring you sustainably farmed shellfish while maintaining our standing as a responsible community member and active steward of the marine environment.
One thing we have learned over the years is that a successful, multi-generational farm needs a sustained commitment to people and place. Delicious oysters are a product of a healthy watershed, which coagulates in the bay but begins upstream in the estuaries, wetlands, and hills surrounding it. Perhaps more important, however, are the healthy communities and sound business practices that dictate our interactions with the land. Our awareness of our influence on the land is one of our core values as a sustainable business.

Debby has challenged crafters to pick their favourite 5 cards of 2015 so here are mine:
This is a card using a Ching-Chou Kuik image. I just love the combination of the green, blue and purple.
This card is using my Debbi Moore "My Fair Lady CD". I love this CD and also the colours for this image.
This is a large concertina fold card that I made for a gentleman's retirement from being a bus driver. The card had to be large for hundreds of people to sign.
This is a card using a Ching-Chou Kuik image. I love the calming, neutral feel of the card.
My final card is using an image by Conie Fong that I had from Sweet Pea Stamps. Sadly 2015 saw their closure but Conie Fong will be opening her own Etsy Store soon.
Now what will be you top 5 cards of 2015?

Fire crews made a quick attack of a fire at mile marker 77 early this afternoon. A semi truck tire in the middle of the burned area appeared to be the igniter of the fire.
This fire was located approximately a quarter mile from the several hundred acre fire we had just recently.
The northerly winds helped keep this fire in control, giving firefighters the chance to catch it before it spread beyond the area just adjacent to the Interstate.

I decided not to do a full-on crosspost of the story, since it contains a link with a thumbnail of the Trayvon Martin picture discussed earlier today (the picture is smallish in the link, but, you know, fair warning, as I avoided the Gawker main for most of the day to avoid it). Still, I would say that Tom Scocca's summation of the Zimmerman case is worth a read.
What is reasonably in doubt? Other criminal defendants argue that the police have the wrong guy, that they weren't at the scene of the crime, that they didn't have a weapon, that they didn't do the killing. George Zimmerman was there. He brought a gun, which belonged to him. George Zimmerman used George Zimmerman's gun to shoot Trayvon Martin dead. There is not a shred of dispute about these facts.
So we get a self-defense case, because self-defense is what a killer claims when no other claim can possibly work. George Zimmerman shot an unarmed teenager, who had been minding his own business, because he had no other choice. According to whom? To George Zimmerman. Stripped to the basics, here's Zimmerman's defense: Nuh-uh.
No one but Zimmerman says Martin was the aggressor. No one but Zimmerman says Zimmerman was hopelessly losing the fight. No one but Zimmerman says that, of the two of them—the adult with a lethal weapon and the minor with a package of candy—Martin was the one who was too dangerous to live.

If you are afraid to return to your country because you believe you will be killed, persecuted, tortured or harmed based on political affiliation, religion, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or membership in a particular social group, you may be able to file an I-589 application for asylum. This option may be available to you even if you have been convicted of certain crimes or have an outstanding order of deportation. We have successfully represented hundreds of clients from all over the world including transgender individuals, government informants, people who have suffered religious persecution, and many others. Most recently, we have represented refugees from Syria, Lebanon, Eritrea, Bangladesh, El Salvador, Cameroon, and Guatemala, just to name a few.
If you are able to show that you will be persecuted, harmed, or tortured if you are returned to your country, you may be eligible to receive lawful status in the United States.
For individuals and their families who are fleeing persecution, or for those who are escaping their countries as the result of life-threatening conditions, there are several avenues of relief in the United States.
Refugees are individuals who are unable to return to their home country because they have a well-founded fear of persecution based on their race, nationality, membership in a particular social group, political opinion, or religion. Refugees apply for admission when they are outside of the United States. Typically, a refugee flees their home country and enters into a "transition country" (a country in which they do not plan to remain but must reside temporarily) and then applies for refugee status in the United States. Whether or not a person is admitted into the United States as a refugee is dependent on several factors including, but not limited to, the level of risk they face, whether they are a member of a group that is of "special concern" to the United States, whether or not they have family members in the United States, and what region of the world they came from.
Individuals who are already in the United States, or are at a port of entry to the United States, and who are afraid to return to their home country, may apply for asylum under certain conditions. Generally, an applicant for asylum must apply for asylum within a year of his arrival, subject to certain exceptions. Moreover, they must establish a well-founded fear of persecution in their home country based on their political opinion, religion, membership in a particular social group, race, or nationality. If the individual has already suffered past persecution based on one of these grounds, there is a rebuttable presumption of future persecution. For example, if an individual is a particular religion that is disliked by the government of their home country, and the individual is jailed, beaten, or otherwise punished by the government simply because of his religion, asylum would be a lucrative option.
There are many countries which have been designated by the United States government as being too dangerous for its citizens to return. The reasons for this designation are widely varied. It could be because the country is ravaged by civil war, suffering from the fallout of natural disasters, or any other humanitarian reason that Congress designates. Currently, the countries designated by Congress are El Salvador, Guinea, Haiti, Honduras, Liberia, Nicaragua, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, and Syria. Of course, any country may be designated at any time depending on the country conditions. Contact our Immigration Lawyers for assistance with TPS.

The infrastructure centred e-Call service represents a step forward for services involving information generated from the vehicle.
In FOTsis, the emergency system comprises two possible scenarios 1) one where the call originates from the vehicle and 2) the call is made by the infrastructure.
In the first case scenario, the vehicle involved in an accident communicates directly with the PSAP. From here, a further information request is sent to the infrastructure's control centre. The infrastructure would then answer by sending a MSD back to the PSAP with valuable and additional data fields, which are included in the message.
In the second scenario, the incident (accident) is detected via the infrastructure's own systems (AID, CCTV, etc.) and the call is triggered. This means, that the call is not made from any vehicle but from the infrastructure itself. As the accident location is detected, the publishing tool carries out the collected data on to the ITS equipment which will then be disseminated to the road users.

Gadaffi's Mass text messages | Smart Mobs
Apparently the Libyan government is trying to get mass SMS messaging going:
Sources on the ground in #Libya: Mass text messages being sent to users in support of #Gaddafi. Those who forward the messages to others are promised phone credits http://fb.me/AtidOJ1G
Twitter 25/02 11.15 'Reports from #Libya: Citizens of #Tripoli receiving texts offering 100 dinar credit if they send messages asking people to stay home today' by @MAQAM.
9 minutes ago via Facebook
Another SMS from Libyana mobile phone provider. fatwa against watching Al Jazeera & other media channels #Libya #Tripoli #Benghazi via @flyingbirdies
It's not clear that this is having the intended effect, though, as messages asking people to act as if nothing happened only make sense if you're completely out of touch with the reality on the ground:
So the government is asking people to go back to work, but as I told you I don't think that will be possible in weeks. There's so much destruction in the city.

Following Your Fitness Intuition
The ultimate goal with fitness shouldn't be to live your life tied down to a super strict meal plan, living on chicken and broccoli, avoiding tempting social situations and/or training militantly with little enjoyment. That feels stifling, and is not really facilitating your best health and life.
Instead, the goal should be to train yourself to live healthfully and in alignment with your fit life values-without having to obsess. You can then trust that you will make wise decisions using your inherent knowledge. I call this following your fitness intuition. To reach this point, some training must be done!
Step 1. "Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something. It is the vital energy to make choices and decisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones." Stephen R. Covey
Break old, unhealthy habits and install new ones. To do so, you must fully commit to a nutrition and training plan. BUT you should not just follow it blindly. Be engaged, interact with others, and find a friend or family member to join you on your fitness adventure. Staying engaged in the process and learning what works for you builds the foundations for your fit-life future.
Use mindfulness to assess how you actually feel while you are eating certain foods, when you feel hungry or full, energy levels, how certain exercises feel, etc.
For example, when I first started my health and fitness journey I realized that I loved making an omelet every morning and serving it with oatmeal and fruit or toast and fruit. I always felt energetic, satisfied and satiated (comfortably full) after that meal. Few years later and I still start my day off with that combo daily.
Step 2. "All the so-called "secrets of success" will not work unless you do."
It is so difficult to establish new habits with a wishy-wash work ethic. You must fully commit with your head AND your heart. When you think about why want to change, it should fire you up. "To lose weight" isn't motivating enough. However, "Feeling confident in my own skin" or "Being able to play with my grandkids" are much more powerful. So, dig deep for you real reason WHY, then get moving don't look back.
Step 3. "Fear is the path to the dark side." -Yoda
We have all been there before. Worrying about how vacation would set you back, if you might come unglued at a special event, etc. In effort to control one of these fear-inducing situations, we often create unrealistic expectations of ourselves like vowing to do two-a-days throughout a vacation r slashing calories drastically during an injury recovery. Guess what happens when you do this? We make ourselves miserable worrying about it and/or our fears become a reality. This is not following your fitness intuition, which leads me too..
Step 4. "I believe I deserve to be fit, as healthy as I can be, as well as look my best. All those things make me a more productive human being, and actually able to serve others better than ever before. When I am at my best, it is easier to put my best efforts forward. I'm also taken more seriously because people see that I respect myself."
At some point on our fitness journey, we must take off the training wheels and realized we can continue to live fit without perfect conditions or following an inflexible plan. We must trust our innate wisdom – the intuition that will set us on the right course if we just tap into it.
Build your fitness foundation. Learn what works for you and what doesn't. Be open and honest with your trainer, family and friends to help assist you in your goals. Don't settle for anything less than satisfactory, and the most important advice of all: BE CONSISTENT. Treat each workout session like it was your job. You wouldn't be late for work or skip a day just because "You were too busy", find time to better yourself and JUST DO IT!
Follow your heart and believe in what you do.
I believe I am following my heart and living my passion by helping others find the confidence they need to take on anything in life. I start at the root of the problem–focusing on their goals, wants and needs, set each of my clients up with a plan that works (because it is tailored to their goals), then dive into strengthening their mine, body and soul through fitness, nutrition and health!

Disabled Home Of The Future Builds Media Momentum
Monday, July 3rd, 2017
on behalf of Blackwood
Edinburgh PR agency homes in on independent living to help Blackwood hit the headlines
WHEN our client Blackwood announced it was designing and constructing a collection of pioneering homes to transform the lives of people with disabilities, we knew the unveiling would be a major hit with the media.
As this was such a significant project for our client, it was essential to secure extensive media coverage to spread the news as far and wide as possible. So, we drafted an engaging press release announcing the launch of the "disabled home of the future" and invited media to attend on the day. Highlights included:
The results were stellar and highlights included:
- Securing the attendance of The Courier, Dundee Evening Telegraph and Wave FM at the event
- A total of 18 pieces of coverage, including in the Daily Record and Show House, with further pick up expected over the coming days
- Full page spread in the Courier – the biggest and most respected paper in Dundee and Tayside – with further coverage via a series of videos on the Courier website
- Pieces in far reaching property supplements The Herald Homes and The Scotsman – Real Homes
- Key trade coverage in titles such as Scottish Housing News, Housing Scotland Today and Third Force News – publications widely read by key players in the care and housing industry
- A total reach of 221,079
Our team also attended the event in Dundee, when the new homes were officially unveiled by Minister of Local Government and Housing, Kevin Stewart. That ensured we got to see the hugely innovative and accessible properties for ourselves.
The development, located off Glamis Road, is the first to showcase the visionary 'Blackwood House' – a design blueprint for flexible living which our client plans to roll out in increasing numbers across Scotland.
The homes have been specifically designed with the help of existing Blackwood customers who know what works best in their daily lives. The design features a central core of kitchen and bathroom – with movable fittings and rise and fall units – which provides greater circulation space for easy access. Flexible storage space and a greater level of automation complete the impressive specification.

SIM 300 is a GSM modem with a simple serial interface. SIM 300 modem can accept any GSM network operator SIM card and act just like a mobile phone with its own unique phone number. With this module one can send/receive sms, connect to internet via GPRS and receive calls. The modem can either be connected to PC serial port directly or to any microcontroller. When purchasing purchase the entire board. As it comes with RS232 to TTL converter and ethernet port. Also do check the module by calling a few times when in the shop.
You can purchase this module online. Some of the sites are listed below:
- http://www.nskelectronics.com/sim300_modem_with_rs232.html
- http://robokart.com/wireless-modules/gsm-gprs/sim-900a-gsm-gprs-modem.html
Fig.1 SIM300 Module
There are two LEDs on the board. One is power LED and the other is the network LED. When you insert your SIM card into the slot and power ON the device the power LED will be turned ON. After few seconds the network LED will start blinking after an interval of 3 seconds. If this happens it means signal is proper but if it is blinking faster it means that there is no network. If your mobile phone has network then this module should have network at the same location(provided the antenna is connected.) Make a call and it should ring. Do it a couple of times before purchasing from a store.
AT commands
These are the Haye's command set also called AT commands. AT stands for attention. These commands are used to control the modem. Using these commands the modem can be operated. There are different commands for sending/reading sms etc. For further information about the history you can read the Wikipedia article.
The AT command set can be downloaded here.
Above table lists few of the commands. The most basic command is AT and the response is OK. If you get OK then it means that everything is working fine.
Now to test out the commands or for direct interfacing with the PC or laptop you can use USB to RS232 adapter.
Fig. 2 USB to RS232 Adapter
You will need to install prolific drivers. These will be included in a small CD that accompanies the adapter or you can download here.
Once you do that there will be a COM port available now. Some of the basic commands are explained in the following video.

Passengers urged to check flights as air traffic strike causes chaos for holiday-makers
Passengers have been urged to check their flights as an air traffic control strike causes chaos for thousands of holiday-makers.
Ryanair has cancelled up to 100 of its European flights over this weekend as ATC workers in France and Germany take industrial action.
Anyone planning to jet off this weekend has been urged to check their status of their flight before they travel to the airport.
Dublin Airport advised travellers in an updated statement this morning: "A French air traffic control strike is scheduled to take place from 05.30 today until 05.30 Mon 25 June.
"A number of European flights to/from @DublinAirport have been cancelled. Passengers are advised to check latest flight info with their airline before coming to airport."
A Ryanair return flight from Dublin Airport to Nice on Sunday was one of 100 European routes cancelled over this weekend, the airline said.
A French air traffic control strike is scheduled to take place from 05.30 today until 05.30 Mon 25 June.
A number of European flights to/from @DublinAirport have been cancelled. Passengers are advised to check latest flight info with their airline before coming to airport.
— Dublin Airport (@DublinAirport) June 23, 2018
The low-cost airline has also warned passengers to expect significant delays on all of their flights to and from France.
It tweeted yesterday: "Due to yet another unjustified French air traffic controller strike this weekend, Ryanair regrets to inform customers that it has been forced to cancel a number of flights.

"All affected customers will be contacted by email and text message and advised of their options."
Aer Lingus has said that up to 16 of its routes may be disrupted.
#bb-iawr-inarticle-2331453 { clear: both; margin: 0 0 15px; }
It said in a statement on their website: "Please be advised of flight disruptions this weekend due to French Air Traffic Controller Strike.
"Guests planning to travel this weekend are advised to check the status of their flight before departing for the airport.
"If your flight has been cancelled, affected guests can opt to
"Be accommodated on the next available flight,
"Rebook their flight free of charge, or
"Cancel and apply for a refund.
"More information can be found below or by contacting our call centre on 00-353-1-8868989."
According to Eurocontrol, 39,000 flights were delayed last month due to ATC strikes.
IAG, the parent company of airlines including Aer Lingus, British Airways and Iberia, said it wants to tackle the issue of ATC strikes.
IAG chief executive Willie Walsh said: "IAG and Ryanair are planning to submit a complaint to the European Commission as ATC strikes represent the biggest challenge for our industry.
"They are destroying European air traffic and having a huge impact on consumers.
"It's a really frustrating cause of disruption that affects all airlines but in particular has a significant negative impact on Spain's tourism and economy. "

Buy a Used Motorcycle HelpHere you can find answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.
Using escrow services to avoid fraud
Many of you have been asking for some customer protecting feature. Now we do offer you one. You can use Escrow as a mediator and be sure your money will reach seller's bank account after you are sure about the goods. So how does it work? First of all you have to contact your seller if he did not mention possibility of using Escrow in his advertisement. If you both agree about using Escrow you can make a registration on Escrow website.
So how does it work step by step?
- Buyer and Seller Agree to Terms
After registering at Escrow.com, both parties agree to terms of the transaction, which includes a description of the merchandise, sale price, number of days for the Buyer's inspection, and any shipping information.
- Buyer Pays Escrow.com
The Buyer submits an available payment option. Escrow.com verifies the payment. Processing time varies by payment method.
- Seller Ships Merchandise
Upon payment verification, the Seller is authorized to ship merchandise and submit tracking information. Escrow.com verifies that the Buyer receives the shipment.
- Buyer Accepts the Merchandise
The Buyer has a set number of days for an inspection and the option to accept or reject the merchandise. For more information, FAQs – Return Questions.
- Escrow.com Pays the Seller
Escrow.com pays the Seller by the method selected by the Seller. The transaction is complete.
Escrow.com, an accredited escrow company, acts as a secure third party to protect the Buyer and Seller.
How Buyers are protected:
- Escrow.com tracks the shipped merchandise and verifies it was delivered.
- The Seller isn't paid until the Buyer accepts the merchandise, or the inspection period expires.
How Sellers are protected:
- Escrow.com confirms when the Buyer receives merchandise.
- The Seller is authorized to ship only after Escrow.com verifies good funds.
Escrow.com is a recommended service. Although we have high confidence in Escrow.com we can not be held liable for its services. If you decide to use other escrow service you are free to do so.
Is my email visible to the public?
By default your email address is not visible to the public. We use an anonymous contact form for your ad. You determine when a visitor sees your email address by replying to their inquiry. We strongly advise not to include your email in ad's description text.
I am receiving abusive emails from one of my classified ads.
You can also submit a ticket to our abuse department and we can look into the matter further.
How can I protect myself from being a victim of fraud?
There is no doubt that scams and fraud are the number one thing to be concerned with when you buy and sell on the Internet. We try our best here at Buy a Used Motorcycle to remove, stop, and block as many of these criminals as we can. It's our top priority because we don't like to see anyone taken advantage of. To help protect your hard earned money, we have put together a few things that will reduce the chances of you being scammed when you complete a transaction that is initiated through Buy a Used Motorcycle.
You should take the following precautions:
- Whenever possible meet face to face before completing any transaction.
- Never wire money to buyers or sellers.
- Never give out personal information such as your Social Security Number, checking account numbers, etc.
- Use your gut instinct. Don't complete a transaction if you have a bad feeling about it.
Common Scams:
- Overpayment Scam – The most popular scam on classified websites. A buyer or seller will send you a check for more than the transaction amount and request that you send them the difference. Their fake check payment may take up to 30 days to bounce and when it does you will be out the amount you sent back to the scammer.
- Fake Ads – We do a pretty good job of removing most fake ads. However, we don't walk on water and we do miss a few. Fake ads usually have an item priced way below their market value to entice many ad replies. An ad can usually be determined to be fraudulent when the "seller" wants to complete the transaction by using an over complicated payment and/or shipping method. If this happens, please discontinue contact with the criminal and contact us with the ad number.
- Phishing Scam – You receive an email that claims to be from Buy a Used Motorcycle or another Internet brand requesting that you complete a transaction, you need to update your account, etc. Buy a Used Motorcycle will never send you an email requesting such things.
Fighting Fraud:
- The easiest way to fight fraud is to meet face to face before you complete any transaction.
- You may want to Google the email address of a suspicious buyer/seller. You will find that scammers usually have fraudulent items posted all over the Internet.
- Use more caution when communicating with buyer/sellers that use free email accounts.
- Contact us and your local police department if you become a victim of fraud.

Tift Merritt's new live album "Buckingham Solo"
Tift Merritt is a critically acclaimed and some would say under appreciated singer/songwriter who has released three excellent studio albums so far. You can check out some highlights from those records as well as download an acoustic radio performance in a previous post on this blog right here.
Tift's latest recording is the live album Buckingham Solo. For this record, Tift chose to release a solo performance from the Radcliffe Center, a converted church in Buckingham, England on November 29, 2008. Alternating between piano and guitar, Tift performed many songs from her last album Another Country as well as tracks from her first two records, in every instance improving on the original full band recordings of these great songs.
This was especially evident in the subtle, sparse treament she gave to her very first single "Trouble Over Me."
Tift Merritt - Trouble Over Me
The best moment of the record came when Tift took the piano to perform a beautiful rendition of George Harrison's classic "I Live For You." Cover songs don't get any better than this.
Tift Merritt - I Live For You
Tift Merritt is playing a dozen or so dates in the US this summer including the Newport Folk Festival. Check here for details.

The Primavera 200 series of violins always were extremely good value, this new version is even better quality and even better value for money.
Made from well seasoned Pine and Maple they are hand made and nicely finished. The Ebony pegs respond well to extra work to make them fit properly and the fingerboard is of real Ebony, not the stained hardwood used in so many budget violins.
We take the best of these violins and spend quite a lot of time in setting them up. We replace the strings with a set of Corelli Crystal and as well as our normal setup for the basic violin we spend time lightening and adjusting the bridge, replacing and adjusting the sound-post and re-working the nut and fingerboard.
The result is well worth the time and the extra money. It's just a completely different violin. All the strings sound nice without harshness and they are so much softer under the fingers making the violin much easier to play.
The new bow has a Carbon Composite stick with an ebony frog and unbleached horsehair. Carbon Fibre has distinct advantages for student outfits, it's virtually indestructible, doesn't warp and won't loose its curve if left with the hair tight.
The new case is much smarter than the previous model and features Hi-Visibility reflective strips on the outside and a much stronger student proof handle. The inside is lined with a soft plush and there is a violin blanket to protect the instrument. We also supply a Yellow duster so that you can wipe off the rosin dust after playing.
The previous version of this violin won a Music Industry Award for the best value stringed instrument, this new version is even better and we wouldn't be surprised to see it win another award soon.
A very good starter and improver violin outfit up to about grade 5.
Customer Comments: I can't believe it sounds so nice for that sort of price. Even I can make a nice sound and that says a lot. I had a (professional musician) friend look over the violin and she was really impressed with the set up and value for money. So thank you.
Price: £194.00
