While a business setting up their own intranet would install quite a few individual component products (web server, language, database, mail server, domain server etc), there is a much easier alternative to achieve an equivalent result at home. To set up a home intranet quickly and easily you can download and install one combined package onto one computer and then make a one line change in a file on each of the other computers so that they are directed to that computer for their intranet access.
There are a few alternative packages available that allow you to install a web server environment onto your own computer. The one I recommend is XAMPP which has versions available to run on Windows, Linux and Mac. This package contains everything you need to set up your own intranet site and much more. It includes Apache web server, MySQL database, both PHP and Perl programming languages, phpMyAdmin (for maintaining your database), Webalizer (to track visitors) and a range of additional optional products that you may or may not need. This package is not only free but it also takes a lot of the hard work out of configuring all of the various components to work together while still being easy to modify if your install requirements are slightly different from the default.
You need to install this on the computer that you are going to use as the server for your intranet. Unlike with businesses where there will probably be a dedicated computer where the intranet will run (possibly shared with other networking services), for your home intranet this will probably be on a computer that someone in the family also uses to do all their computer work on. Since this computer needs to be on for the intranet to be available the best choice for the computer to use is the one that is used the most as that will reduce the amount of time when the computer needs to be on to make the intranet available where it is not also being used for other purposes.
Once you have your web server installed you will be able to access it from that computer using http://localhost as the address. The person using that computer can now upload all of the content for your intranet simply by moving all of the required files into the public_html folder that was created by the server install.
At this point all of the computers on your home network can access your intranet but the way that they can do so is not consistent with the way people are used to accessing web sites. All of the network can access the intranet by typing in the IP address of the computer hosting the intranet in their browser address bar. The final step in setting up the intranet to be friendlier is to update all of the computers to reference the intranet using your own custom domain name instead of using the IP address.
Assuming that the computers on your network are running Windows we finish setting up the intranet by adding one extra line into the hosts file on each computer (there are equivalents for other operating systems but as most home computers run Windows I'll explain how to do it on that operating system). Note that this file will be in one of the operating system folders on your computer and the file does not have a file extension. You will probably also find a file called hosts.sam in the same folder which is a sample file showing you how the entries in the hosts file need to be defined.
To set up the entry in the hosts file you need to know the IP address of the computer you installed your intrant on and also decide on a domain name for your intranet. You then simply add the same line into the hosts file of all the computers on your network. So if the computer hosting the intranet has an IP address of 192.168.2.10 and you decided you want to be able to access your intranet using http://home then you'd add the following line into each of the hosts files:
You can leave the part from the # onward off if you want but I suggest that you put it there as a reminder of what that line is for so that you don't accidentally delete it if you ever need to do a cleanup of the file.

Abandonware: What's all that about?
Remember the games and applications we used to use constantly? Many of these have been abandoned by their manufacturer and released to the public domain free of charge. This is because they are no longer making the company any money and the company no longer wants to support the product. The result is that some of these games and applications can be freely distributed.
Because of this, the term "Abandonware" started. There are a whole heap of games that were made before 2000 that can now be downloaded and played for free.
I didn't have a chance to play many games while I was growing up and felt I was missing out. Now I have a second chance to waste my valuable time. These games a lot of fun and bring back a lot of memories.
Many of the available games were hits in their time. The lists of available games are very long so I won't list them here, however I did find a few highlights such as Grand Theft Auto, Ironman's Offroad, Street Rod, Dune II and Syndicate Wars.
Applications have come a long way over the years and are also available as abandonware. You may find an application that will do the job for you, but with huge advances in technology, you would probably do better using newer versions. Many of Microsoft's very early Office applications such as Word 6.0 and Publisher 2.0 are available.
There are bound to be some compatibility issues with some of the games, but using compatibility mode and some extra applications, you will be able to run them. The games I listed above all worked without any tweaks. You can often get the manuals to get past any crack protection.
This is all completely legal and above board. Abandonia which has a database of these games are very specific about what is available for free, and what is licensed so start your search for games at Abandonia.com. They have just celebrated their 8th Birthday so know more about abandonware than most.

6 years
Christie and I have been married for 6 years now. This was an odd year in that our actual anniversary fell on the same day we celebrate it, which is the day after Thanksgiving. If you have the opportunity to get married the day after Thanksgiving, I highly recommend it for the following reasons:
- You don't need to serve much food, as everyone had a giant feast the day before.
- Often, the family is already all in one place.
- November is a very comfortable time to be wearing a suit, and fall leaves make a nice backdrop for pictures.
- Procrastinators can pick you up a gift at a Black Friday sale on the way to the wedding.
- Finally, it's easy to remember your anniversary. Basically, if I'm eating turkey and stuffing, and there's no trash bag full of gift wrap in the corner, then tomorrow is my anniversary.

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for March 2009.
There's an interesting article in today's New York Times about a movement towards mixing concrete to be environmentally friendly (though not "green," which means freshly poured).
Concrete is one of the oldest manufactured building materials, having been used in ancient Rome, and that kind of provenance tends to discourage significant expeimentation. So it's good to see people working to take a process that is probably not severely polluting, as industrial processes go, and actively make it cleaner. It's particularly encouraging that a technique is being developed with a negative carbon footprint—a rare example of industry having a net positive effect on the environment without necessarily going for the hippie dollar.
One of the most important issues of the first quarter of the 21st century will be clean, sustainable energy. I believe the key will be a panoply of sources: instead of using one process, one form of fuel (e.g., fossil fuels) to meet substantially alll of our energy needs, we will combine solar, geothermal, wind, waste biomass, and other sources as yet undiscovered so that no one thing has too big a burden.
One thing slowing progress is that, in part for reasons of infrastructure, petroleum is significantly cheaper than most other fuels. No one has any motivation to switch other than ecological altruism because it requires such a massive investment of time, money, and effort (to find a source for solar panels, or whatever it is).
In particular, using biodiesel in your car requires making it at home: there are no filling stations because so few people have appropriate vehicles, and no one wants a car that requires biodiesel because it's so inconvenient to refuel.
One solution is to run your car on straight vegetable oil. This, however, makes it impossible to run the car on regular diesel fuel, which is available at filling stations, and it uses food crops (the U.S. grows so much corn that we feed it to cattle, whose bodies metabolize it far less efficiently and completely than grain, and make it into sweetener, which the government creates a market for by levying a tariff on sugarcane).
Another possibility is to use algae. Algae are easy to grow and not used for food, so there's no chance of the fuel exacerbating food shortages. While the current method of extracting fuel from algae requires toxic solvents heavily regulated in this country, a company in Horseheads, N.Y., has developed a new solid catalyst that may alllow algae-based fuels to be produced at filling stations.
Have you heard the latest outrage by Barack Obama? He's spending a whole $200 of taxpayer money—enough to buy David Paterson a toaster—to put a vegetable garden on the White House grounds (or, rather, Michelle is, being the woman, because according to the media Y chromosomes apparently interfere with plant growth).
This just demonstrates how little respect Obama has for the institution of the presidency. He's selfishly using the space for his own personal projects, unlike the putting green built for notorious golf-hater Dwight Eisenhower. From the liberal side, supporters of this have been compared to the Khmer Rouge.
According to the plan of the garden, there will be space for a greater variety of crops than is feasible for the average American (not to mention beehives). However, "green living" isn't an all-or-nothing propsition; even doing what you can is better than nothing.
From Rachel at Feministe, the public comment period on the repeal of the HHS regulations preventing women from having access to reproductive care ends April 9th.
That means you have three more weeks to make yor voice heard in support of requiring healthcare workers to treat patients or refer them to someone who will, regardless of the patient's sex, income level, or religious beliefs.
Much sex education in the U.S. is based on the abstinence-only model, the idea being that teenagers will not have sex if and only if someone introduces them to the concept.
That having been shown to work as well as you might expect ("fuck, even Bristol Palin says abstinence-only education isn't realistic."), Senator Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey has introduced a bill providing for Federal funding for comprehensive sex education.
This means that states can finally get Federal money for realistic sex education, of the kind that has been shown to prevent the spread of HIV and reduce unwanted pregnancies among unmarried teenagers.
Assuming, of course, that you want to prevent the spread of HIV and reduce unwanted pregnancies among unmarried teenagers.
A hydrogen leak scrubbed today's scheduled shuttle launch; the new plan is to launch the 100th mission since Challenger on Sunday (or the Ides of March), a schedule the oft-cited Phil Plait calls optimistic.
The Discovery crew members are set to fly the S6 truss segment and install the final set of power-generating solar arrays to the International Space Station. The S6 truss will complete the backbone of the station and provide one-fourth of the total power needed to support a crew of six.
As in war, NASA personnel are always fighting the last battle: we (think we) know what brought down Challenger and what destroyed Columbia, so we make sure to avoid those issues. It's good to see that the hydrogen issue, which has not yet been a problem on a space flight (though as illustrated, hydrogen has doomed aeronautic activity), proactively taken care of.
Yesterday, Barack Obama lifted the Federal ban on research in new stem cell lines. That means research labs using Federal money are no longer restricted to the 20 or so so-called "Presidential lines" of embryonic stem cells that existed before August 9, 2001, when the ban was instituted.
A commenter at Feministe explains some of the absurdity this led to:
[I]f you were working on non-Presidential lines (with non-federal money, of course), you couldn't buy a pen with federal money and use it to write in your notebook. The janitor who changed the lightbulbs in your lab couldn't be paid with federal money.
Embryonic stem cell research could be the key to treating neurological injuries or diseases or even diabetes.
The president notes that "the full promise of stem cell research remains unknown," but that's a reason to do stem cell research, not an excuse to prohibit it. We'll never know if we don't try.
Following in the footsteps of popular New York Governor David Paterson and his tax on non-diet soda, a group of Scottish doctors are calling for a tax on chocolate.
This is different from the soda tax for the very important reason that I don't drink soda and I do eat chocolate. I also need chocolate; six months ago I was underweght by anyone's standards and my adult weight has varied over a range of 135 pounds. So when the British Medical Association and David Paterson and all such are trying to modify my behavior through tax policy, they are actually acting against my interests.
That's because there are no panaceas, no nutritional or medical approach that is always and only good for everyone. Is chocolate bad for you? Proabably not, but I know someone who's allergic to it. On the other hand, there's some evidence chocolate is actually good for you. That's not even a contradiction—chocolate, like anything else, contains multitudes. As does the populace
Everything is said to be bigger in Texas, and that includes schools' share of Federal abstinence-only education budget.
It also, according to RH Reality Check, includes teen pregnancies: one of the highest rates in the country, costing taxpayers more than $1 billion a year.
That's because abstinence is the least effective form of birth control. While perfect use leads to a 0% failure rate, the mechanism—pure willpower—doesn't lend itself to perfect use; many reports compound the problem by comparing perfect use of abstinence with typical use for all other forms of birth control.
Ab-only education seems to be predicated on the notion that sex is like any other engineering feat: if you don't know about it, you can't do it. You need to be taught at least some rudiments of architecture before you can build a skyscraper, and the same purportedly applies to sex. This is why neolithic humans didn't have skyscrapers, or sex.
What kids are taught instead is arrant nonsense:
Sexually active teens are more likely to commit suicide; women who lubricate during sex are more likely to get pregnant; people who have sex before marriage are less able to be "intimate" later; "the divorce rate for two virgins who get married is less than 3%."
Sex ed doesn't need to be about the mechanics, but it is irresponsible not to teach students how to stay safe when they are drawn to doing it. Moral education is the responsibility of families; while the schools have a responsibility not to undermine that, they needn't refrain from teaching students necessary information in the name of supporting it.

Canning Jar Ring Pumpkin-Tutorial
I made these Canning Jar Ring Pumpkins last year and sold them at craft shows. I used all of the rings I had so I didn't think they were on the agenda for this year.
I was wrong! A dear friend was cleaning out her mother's basement in preparation for selling the house and she let me do some picking.
I hit the jackpot of gold! Okay, maybe not real gold, but the rings were gold…and silver. What more could a crafty girl ask for?
Things You Will Need:
10-15 canning jar rings (same size)
Small tree branch
Jig saw
1/4 yd. orange or yellow tulle
Fall leaves and berries
Hot glue gun
What To Do:
Step 1:
Strip and snip off the tiny sticks of a 1″ diameter tree branch using pruners. Cut pumpkin stems 3 1/2″ to 4″ long using a jig saw. The length will depend on whether you are using narrow or wide mouth rings, respectively.
Step 2:
Cut a 24″ length of jute twine. Thread 10-15 rings on the jute. I have made canning jar ring pumpkins with as many as 15 rings, but I prefer the look of 10 rings. Wrap the rings and jute around a stem. Thread the jute through the rings a second time.
Cinch and knot.
10 Rings
Fiddle and fidget the rings until they are evenly spaced (or as evenly as you can) around the stem. Note: To eliminate stress, do not cinch and knot the jute too tightly or you won't be able to adjust the rings.
15 Rings
Step 3:
Set the pumpkin shape on your work space and push the stem down until it touches the bottom.
Apply E-6000 around the stem, where it meets the rings. Slightly roll each ring to drag some of the adhesive down and around the stem. Set the canning jar ring pumpkin aside to dry over night.
Step 4:
Cut a 1/4 yard of orange or yellow tulle. Unfold and fluff the tulle. Insert the tulle through the rings and around the inside of the canning jar ring pumpkin. Fluff and tuck until the tulle has filled the rings.
Step 5:
Tie a few strands of raffia around the base of the stem. Hot glue fall silk leaves around the stem and finish with faux fall berries.
Happy Fall Y'all!
Enjoy! Pin! Follow! Share!

Full-page Everglades ad aims to shame Florida sugar owners
Everglades advocates upped their fight against U.S. Sugar Tuesday with a full-page ad in the New York Times and another planned for Wednesday's Miami Herald, calling out the nonprofit that derives much of its wealth — and its name — from the sugar grower.
"Restoring America's Everglades, which means so much to so many, depends upon U.S. Sugar Corp.'s participation as a full and committed partner, as opposed to it remaining a steadfastly uncommunicative, unwavering obstructionist," Everglades Trust president Mary Barley wrote in a letter addressed to William White, who serves as chief of the Charles Stuart Mott Foundation and sits on the board of the sugar giant founded by Mott.
The Mott Foundation also holds a board seat on the Environmental Grantmakers Association meeting this week in Miami Beach. Among the featured speakers is Mona Hana-Attisha, a pediatrician in Flint, Mich., Mott's hometown, who helped draw attention to the city's contaminated water pipes.
The letter comes as the fight over Everglades restoration becomes increasingly nasty. In a Palm Beach Post editorial headlined Glades Lives Matter last week, Hendry County Commissioner Janet Taylor depicted environmentalists as coastal elites insensitive to the plight of everyday farmers. This weekend, the Huffington Post published a 4,000-word essay portraying sugar growers as the rich recipients of corporate welfare. U.S. Census data shows the average farm in Hendry is valued at nearly $5 million.
Barley said the Trust resorted to the letter after two decades of failed attempts to meet with White about Everglades restoration work and thwarted efforts last year to buy land for a critical reservoir.
"The three most important estuaries in the state of Florida are being destroyed by one company that they control," said Barley, who wants U.S. Sugar to stop blocking efforts to buy cane fields.
U.S. Sugar spokeswoman Judy Sanchez defended the company's efforts to clean up pollution, saying growers on average cut pollution by 56 percent every year for the last 20 years.
"Ms. Barley and her radical friends at the Everglades Trust are trying to use a true emergency – historically heavy rains and flooding in January – to attack U.S. Sugar and push their political agenda," Sanchez wrote. "Ms. Barley blatantly omits that U.S. Sugar's senior leadership has met with her organization numerous times over the years and that farmers in the Everglades Agricultural Area have given up nearly 120,000 acres of their lands to assist in the restoration efforts, and that EAA farmers clean every drop of water that leaves their lands."
Record rain in January forced water managers to begin dumping massive amounts of water from Lake Okeechobee to protect the lake's aging dike and reduce the risk of flooding cane fields and communities to the south. Such massive dumps, which soiled both coasts with black and brown water, in the past have caused widespread damage to the estuaries at the mouths of the rivers, where seagrass beds and oysters can't tolerate such high amounts of freshwater. The releases also followed a summer drought that killed acres of seagrass in Florida Bay, spread a stinky plume of sulfur and showed just how vulnerable state waters had become after years of damaging flood control measures.
State lawmakers now meeting in Tallahassee are now considering scaling back a hard-fought plan to spend $200 million a year on Everglades restoration for the next 20 years after passing a sweeping water policy bill in the first week of the session that eased restrictions on polluters.
As a nonprofit, Barley argued that it is hypocritical for the Mott Foundation to bill itself as an environmental champion while collecting so much money from an industry blamed for polluting much of the Everglades. The Mott Foundation did not respond to a request for comment.
"Now they're saying they won't even look at building a reservoir until 2021," she said. "We can't be run by a polluting company or we'll just end up a big cesspit, which is practically what we are now."

We are an older couple who have lived in North Yarmouth since 1983. We are on a fixed income and view the proposed development of the former North Yarmouth Middle School by A.H. Grover as the least expensive for taxpayers.
The proposal not only protects the aquifer but reuses the gym and positions the Wescustogo Hall on part of the existing footprint. It allows the town offices to remain separate and therefore not prone to another fire disaster.
The idea of the housing only for senior people reduces the pressure of the school property taxes and slows the trend of families moving here for the good schools and then leaving for less-expensive homes. Now they can just downsize and stay in the community they have grown to love.
We wish to stay in our home as long as possible and this Grover proposal seems to be the best answer we have yet seen.

A couple of autumns ago my wife Sandy, myself, and our two dogs, Cam and Oakley, made an RV trip to Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. While going through my photograph files recently I found a number of images from that trip I really like, but hadn't published yet. So now I am adding them to my online gallery and thought I'd share a few with you on this blog.
First, Bryce Canyon left us stunned by its magnificent beauty, startling formations, and vivid colors. Every day was a "Wow!" day. A big part of the park is made up of a number of natural amphitheaters carved out of the edges of the Paunsaugunt Plateau by wind, rain and continual freezing and unfreezing. The result is like stepping into an alien world. The ground is rich in iron oxide resulting in startling colors against the vivid blue sky. One of the amphitheaters is called "Black Birch Canyon." In this image you can see incredible formations that appear to guard the canyon like the statutes in "Lord of the Rings."
Black Birch Canyon Overlook
Continuing our view of Black Birch Canyon you can see a semi-circle of hoodoos seemingly forming a fortress wall that would fit in perfectly with any number of fantasy games kids play today. Hoodoos are tall skinny spires of rock that protrude from the bottom of basins and lands. According to the National Park Service website: "nowhere in the world are they as abundant as in the northern section of Bryce Canyon National Park." The difference between Hoodoos and pinnacles or spires is that hoodoos have a variable thickness at different levels of the pillar, almost like a totem pole. I told you it is a strange place!
Hoodoo Walls
A little further down the park road is a turnout for "Natural Bridge." That indeed is the name. Interestingly enough however, according to geologists, a natural bridge is caused by a stream, an arch is caused by weathering, rain and freezing and unfreezing. They think the latter caused this formation so it is technically an arch. However, after forming, flowing water made the arch larger. So like I said, it is a strictly technical point, so I call it both!
Natural Bridge Arch
A couple of other formations, which are also variations of hoodoos are Thors Hammer:
Thors Hammer
and, what I call a large gnarly rock sitting on top of a tall hoodoo!
Hoodoo Supporting A Rock
If you haven't been to Bryce Canyon, then you need to put it on your list!
Accompanying this blog publication and to thank you for your interest, Bryce Canyon Art and Photography prints are now on sale through 2/23/2015. Prices for these prints begin at just $19 (+shipping & taxes).! For added convenience the images are temporarily combined into a single Gallery. Just click on this link: Bryce Canyon Gallery.

Reproduced below is the article from the Jersey Evening Post and below that is our opinion of what is really taking place here.
All Anglicans in Jersey are being invited to a meeting next week to discuss a dispute that threatens the Island's centuries-old link with the Diocese of Winchester.
Philip Bailhache Has an Agenda (VFC opinion)
The Senator's agenda is the complete separation of Jersey from the UK. His agenda has been repeatedly exposed, not least, HERE and is not denied by him. He has failed to progress this agenda at national level but he is now seeking to pursue it at Church level and he sees the current issues regarding the role of the Dean as a political opportunity.
The victim (HG) and even the Dean himself are pawns of no consequence from the Bailhache perspective. His media statement is laden with subtext but is also transparent to those with an eye on the bigger picture.
He is seeking to turn the current issues into a "rift" between the Church in Jersey and the Church of England. He will attend a meeting packed with his supporters, at Grouville Parish Hall which is a "stronghold" for the Senator, and when he senses the mood is right, will produce from his back pocket (or elsewhere) a draft plan for the establishment of a separate and independent Jersey Church. Not yet his full objective of an independent Jersey but from his perspective a "foot in the door" from which other parts of his agenda can be developed. He thinks that we are all too stupid to know what he is up to, and perhaps even Bob Key thinks it is all about his interests and not about what it is really about which is the pursuit of independence by stages and by stealth.
Readers will be aware that the former Police Chief Graham Power QPM, who was illegally suspended while (because?) the Police Force, under his command, was investigating decades of institutional paedophilia/Child Abuse in State run "care" homes wrote a 62,000 word document as an interim defence case against his illegal suspension. Readers will also be aware that this document was leaked to BBC Jersey who have suppressed it despite reporting on the prosecution case against Mr. Power as reported HERE and elsewhere.
Here is a significant extract from that media (BBC) suppressed document.
"Such views are not confined to the older elements of the honorary service. They can be found, albeit in a more developed form, in the senior levels of government and the legal establishment where some notable figures favour an eventual severance of links with the U.K. and would see the ready acceptance of U.K. working practices as running counter to this agenda. I recall that in 2007 I assisted a small working group which included, among others, the Bailiff Sir Philip Bailhache and the Attorney General William Bailhache. The purpose of the group was to prepare a draft contingency plan for complete independence. I submitted papers to the group on the implications for law enforcement, and used some contacts from my previous role to offer suggestions as to who outside of the island, could assist in developing such a plan. I provided contact details of key figures in the Scottish Government and Administration including the Scottish National Party. I recall that some of the advice and contacts I provided were in an email I sent, probably in July 2007. This and other experiences reinforced my understanding that there was a tide flowing against closer association with the U.K, and a strong local agenda to develop working models and solutions within the island."(END)
Jersey is sleepwalking in to a feudal fiefdom dressed up in Senator Bailhache's "concern" for the Island's church and churchgoers.

Adult Vita Gummies Omega-3
Omega-3 VitaGummies for Adults are a great way to supplement your diet with extra essential fatty acid nutrition. Vita Gummies taste delicious, are convenient and are easy to take. There are a few Omega-3 fats. The two important ones are EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid). They are found in seafood and needed and used by every cell in your brain, eyes, blood vessels and joints.
additional info
- Omega-3 fatty acids are 'good fats' essential for every cell in the body
- These fats must be obtained from diet as the body does not manufacture enough
Omega- 3 Fatty acids :
- 60% of your brain is Omega-3
- More than 75% of your retina is Omega-3.
- Fish is the best source of Omega 3 fats because it has the most EPA and DHA.
- Some nuts and seeds also contain Omega-3 but nuts and seeds do not contain EPA and DHA.
- Your body also needs Omega-6, another good fat, but it needs Omega-3 and Omega-6 in equal parts. Industrial mass-production of foods has removed most of the Omega-3 from our food supply. So now, most of us eat 25 times more Omega-6 than Omega-3, resulting in a severe Omega-3 deficiency
Take 2 gummies per day
Or as advised by your healthcare professional.
110 pastilles (soft gummies) – Berry, Lemon & Cherry
Each gummie contains:
|Omega-3 (DHA)
|Omega 3 (EPA)
Contains sugars. Contains gluten from wheat.
Halah-Gelatine from Bovine origin

Carolina Thread Trail to Mark Milestone in Davidson!
Posted on 31. Oct, 2012 by Davidson Lands Conservancy in Recent News, West Branch Wetland
Please join the Davidson Lands Conservancy and the Catawba Lands Conservancy as we recognize a milestone in the development of the Carolina Thread Trail on November 17th in Davidson. Please see the following press release from the Carolina Thread Trail:
Charlotte, N.C. – The Carolina Thread Trail (The Thread), a 15-county, two-state initiative to connect our region with a network of trails and natural areas, is celebrating its fifth anniversary and marking its 100th mile of trail open to the public.
These milestones will be commemorated at an event on Saturday, Nov. 17, 2012, from 10-11 a.m., at the West Branch Nature Preserve Trail located in Davidson. At the event, The Thread will unveil a 100th mile marker, which is a specially-commissioned artistic monument that will become a destination for trail users across the region. Following the unveiling, The Thread will announce a social media photo contest (see below), and then host nature hikes to be led by Dr. Mark Stanback and Dr. David Grant of Davidson College. This event is free and open to the public. Directional signs will be used starting at the intersection of East Rocky River Road and Shearer Road to direct the public to the event; the nearest street address to the event/trail entrance is 18229 Shearer Road in Davidson.
Enjoy these photos of a DLC sponsored hike to the West Branch Wetland earlier this year:
The Carolina Thread Trail, commonly known as The Thread, was publicly announced five years ago on Nov. 9, 2007. Launched from a community process lead by the Foundation For The Carolinas to identify our area's most pressing environmental need, The Thread aspires to connect a 15-county region – Anson, Cabarrus, Catawba, Cleveland, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Stanly and Union counties within North Carolina and Cherokee, Chester, Lancaster and York counties in South Carolina – with a network of hundreds of miles of trails linking more than two million people to regional destinations, parks, towns, neighborhoods and conservation corridors. Initial startup funding for The Thread came from Foundation For The Carolinas, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the C. D. Spangler Foundation, the Turner Family Foundation, Bank of America, Duke Energy and Wells Fargo.
"Five years ago, our region's leaders had a vision to create a connected trail system to make our corner of the world a healthier, greener, and more attractive place to live, work and explore. Today that vision is becoming a reality mile by mile," said Ann Browning, project director for The Thread. "Our fifth anniversary and 100thmile are significant milestones that we are celebrating with our trail users, volunteers, government leaders and corporate partners – all of which have made significant contributions to support and advance The Thread."
Over the past five years, there has been great progress advancing the Carolina Thread Trail. With a Governing Board of regional philanthropic and business leaders and Catawba Lands Conservancy serving as the lead agency, thousands of community leaders and citizens have been engaged to develop master plans and implement segments of The Thread. To date:
- 14 counties have completed master plans identifying over 1400 miles of planned and existing trails and projects across the region are being implemented along priority corridors
- $3 million in grants from private funders have been awarded to plan and build trails
- 1,300 acres of preserved land that will house the trail has been permanently protected thanks in large to funding from North Carolina's Clean Water Management Trust Fund
- 500 volunteers, led by professionally trained Trail Masters, have logged 1,912 volunteer hours towards trail building and maintenance in the past two years
- An interactive map was recently launched identifying the 59 trails that are currently open to public (see www.carolinathreadtrailmap.org).
Trails and greenways benefit the region's communities in many ways. A recent survey by the National Association of Realtors cited walking and biking trails as the top amenity desired by homebuyers. Trails and greenways provide easier access to exercise and recreation, attract commerce along the trail routes, offer alternative transportation options, give our children access to the outdoors and nature, protect wildlife habitats, and provide river and stream buffers to filter our water and manage storm water runoff.
The Thread to Announce Facebook Photo Contest
Also on Nov. 17, The Thread will announce a photo contest that will encourage trail users to take photos and share their outdoor adventures on The Thread via Facebook. From Nov. 17 to Dec. 10, Facebook users will be able to post photos and vote for their favorite trail picture out on The Thread.
The photos with the most likes (or votes) will win prizes, with one grand prize awarded to the most liked photo. More information about the contest will be available on The Thread's Facebook page beginning on Nov. 17 at www.facebook.com/carolinathreadtrail or on the website, www.carolinathreadtrail.org.

I'm pleased with my blogging process this week, and I feel like I'm catching up at last. I hope it lasts, I've still got plenty of cards and projects to share. I went to a Shoebox swap event today, so I've got lots of lovely things from that.
Here's another card from the Craft Decathlon class. The Sweet Shop papers were used again, with the stamp set Mouthwatering. To get the cone, ice cream and the cherry different colours, the marker pens were used to colour the stamp. On the Wisteria Wonder card, the Adorning Accents embossing folder was used to make the embossed hearts. These are thin embossing folders, which just give an extra level of detail to your cards and projects. The Adorning Accents Edgelits Die was used to make the scalloped bottom on the panel. The sentiment You're So Sweet is from the Sweet Cake stamp set, cut out with the oval punch and mounted into a piece of Pool Party card punched out with the Scallop Oval Punch. Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon was tied around the card, as well as around the corner of the ice cream image, and a Jelly Bean brad was attached.
A lovely summery card, don't you think?

And just like that, Nettie can see.
But her newfound sight is a blessing and a curse. Even if she doesn't understand what's under her own skin, she can sense what everyone else is hiding -- at least physically. The world is full of evil, and now she knows the source of all the sand in the desert. Haunted by the spirits, Nettie has no choice but to set out on a quest that might lead to her true kin... if the monsters along the way don't kill her first.
Nettie Lonesome made a leap -- not knowing what she'd become. But now the destiny of the Shadow is calling.
A powerful alchemist is leaving a trail of dead across the prairie. And the Shadow must face the ultimate challenge: side with her friends and the badge on her chest or take off alone on the dangerous mission pulling her inexorably toward the fight of her life.
When it comes to monsters and men, the world isn't black and white. What good are two wings and a gun when your enemy can command a conspiracy of ravens?

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Video' started by vgrinshpun, Apr 23, 2015.
At 1:10 mark
OK - kudos to you for your, umm, due diligence. Inquiring minds want to know, however, what on earth possessed you to watch this?!?!?!?!?
BTW, if you have any desire to step on a hornets' nest, bring up the topic Koch/Flint Hills Refinery in the suburb of Fairbanks Alaska called North Pole (really). The refinery there has poisoned close to one-third of the town's house's wells (most homes have their own wellwater) with sulfolane, and....oh, it's a royal mess. So Koch has decided simply to close the refinery.
Easy... This is border line personal attack...:smile:
Had to do some research after watching that one. Apparently, Koch Industries subsidiary Invsita makes nylon for airbags, they claim to be in over 1 billion airbags. I wonder if Tesla's airbags actually use this nylon or not. It would be really interesting if Tesla didn't use their airbags, yet Koch used them in the video anyway (why did they use a Tesla when anything else would suffice?).
Koch Industries makes fiber for airbag material. Interesting though that the Tesla logo was removed from what is clearly a Model S.
Interesting, they did not remove logo from a Chevy shown earlier in the video... (0:42)
Wonder if the logo just wasn't there for the airbag test shown in the video.
If have an interesting semi-personal connection to Koch Industries. My cousin and her husband live in Wichita, KS. Her husband is a former Air Force pilot (used to fly F-4s in Vietnam, and also flew Air Force Two for awhile--he has a picture flying Bush Sr. around when he was VP). Anywho, he has long since retired from the Air Force and is now...wait for it...the corporate pilot for the Koch brothers themselves. I've been to the Koch Industries HQ hanger and walked on the Koch Brothers' jet.
Don't worry, I showered thoroughly afterward.
Can this please not turn into a bash the Koch Industries thread?
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
It hasn't turned into one. It always was one right from the title to this thread. If you don't like, and want to start a thread about not being surprised about Tesla being associated with these climate change deniers, "citizens united" and big oil supporters, then please do so. It won't make any sense though.

I have to say, I feel so lucky sometimes. An example of this would be the opportunities I have to interview new designers. But, more than that, when I speak with an amazing designer who makes gorgeous handbags, I can't wait to share everything with all of you! Not that long ago, I had the chance to talk with Erin Voorhies, the founder and creative designer of KEMPT handbags. We had a fantastic conversation over the phone where I was able to learn a little more about how she got into the handbag business, her line and herself.
Erin was gracious enough to send us a few KEMPT handbag samples so we could see them in person. Erin and I agreed, purchasing handbags really is a complete experience. It was great to hold the bags, try them all, notice the amazing attention to detail and feel the amazing materials (ie: anaconda and ostrich) she uses. Vlad shot the bags here in our studio and he talked about how immaculate the quality of the bags was for days! We hope you enjoy the introduction as much as we did.
PB: How long have you been interested in handbags?
EV: Since I was a little girl, I have always been interested in accessories. My grandmother was a huge influence. For as long as I can remember I was always making bags for myself and my friends. In 2006 I started the collection. For me, if my hands aren't involved in creating something, I get antsy, I always need to be creating something. (more…)

One of the participants in my CppCon 2018 workshop asked me: "Can a std::thread be interrupted?". No, was my answer but this is not correct anymore. With C++20 we might get a std::jthread.
Let me continue my story from the CppCon 2018. During a break of my concurrency workshop, I had a chat with Nicolai (Josuttis). He asked me what I think about the new proposal P0660: Cooperatively Interruptible Joining Thread. At this point, I didn't know the proposal. Nicolai is together with Herb Sutter and Anthony Williams one of the authors of the proposal. Today's post is about the concurrent future. Here is the big picture to concurrency in current and upcoming C++.
From the title of the paper Cooperatively Interruptible Joining Thread you may guess that the new thread has two new capabilities: interruptable and automatically joining. Let me first write about automatically joining.
This is the non-intuitive behaviour of std::thread. If a std::thread is still joinable, std::terminate is called in its destructor. A thread thr is joinable if either thr.join() nor thr.detach() was called.
// threadJoinable.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
int main(){
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << std::boolalpha;
std::thread thr{[]{ std::cout << "Joinable std::thread" << std::endl; }};
std::cout << "thr.joinable(): " << thr.joinable() << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
When executed, the program terminates.
Both threads terminate. In the second run, the thread thr has enough time to display its message: "Joinable std::thread".
In the next example, I replace the header <thread> with "jthread.hpp" and use std::jthread from the upcoming C++ standard.
// jthreadJoinable.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "jthread.hpp"
int main(){
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << std::boolalpha;
std::jthread thr{[]{ std::cout << "Joinable std::thread" << std::endl; }};
std::cout << "thr.joinable(): " << thr.joinable() << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
Now, the thread thr automatically joins in its destructor such as in this case if still joinable.
To get a general idea, let me present a simple example.
// interruptJthread.cpp
#include "jthread.hpp"
#include <chrono>
#include <iostream>
using namespace::std::literals;
int main(){
std::cout << std::endl;
std::jthread nonInterruptable([]{ // (1)
int counter{0};
while (counter < 10){
std::cerr << "nonInterruptable: " << counter << std::endl;
std::jthread interruptable([](std::interrupt_token itoken){ // (2)
int counter{0};
while (counter < 10){
if (itoken.is_interrupted()) return; // (3)
std::cerr << "interruptable: " << counter << std::endl;
std::cerr << std::endl;
std::cerr << "Main thread interrupts both jthreads" << std:: endl;
interruptable.interrupt(); // (4)
std::cout << std::endl;
I started in the main program the two threads nonInterruptable and interruptable (lines 1 and 2). In contrast to the thread nonInterruptable, the thread interruptable gets a std::interrupt_token and uses it in line 3 to check if it was interrupted: itoken.is_interrupted(). In case of an interrupt the lambda function returns and, therefore, the thread ends. The call interruptable.interrupt() (line 4) triggers the end of the thread. This does not hold for the previous call nonInterruptable.interrupt(), which does not have an effect.
Here are more details to interrupt tokens, the joining threads, and condition variables.
An interrupt token std::interrupt_token models shared ownership and can be used to signal once if the token is valid. It provides the three methods valid, is_interrupted, and interrupt.
If the interrupt token should be temporarily disabled, you can replace it with a default constructed token. A default constructed token is not valid. The following code snippet shows how to disable and enable the capability of a thread to accept signals.
std::jthread jthr([](std::interrupt_token itoken){
std::interrupt_token interruptDisabled;
std::swap(itoken, interruptDisabled); // (1)
std::swap(itoken, interruptDisabled); // (2)
std::interrupt_token interruptDisabled is not valid. This means that the thread can not accept an interrupt from the line (1) to (2) but after line (2) its possible.
A std::jhread is a std::thread with the additional functionality to signal an interrupt and to automatically join(). To support this functionality it has a std::interrupt_token.
The two wait variations wait_for, and wait_until of the std::condition_variable get new overloads. They take a std::interrupt_token.
template <class Predicate>
bool wait_until(unique_lock<mutex>& lock,
Predicate pred,
interrupt_token itoken);
template <class Rep, class Period, class Predicate>
bool wait_for(unique_lock<mutex>& lock,
const chrono::duration<Rep, Period>& rel_time,
Predicate pred,
interrupt_token itoken);
template <class Clock, class Duration, class Predicate>
bool wait_until(unique_lock<mutex>& lock,
const chrono::time_point<Clock, Duration>& abs_time,
Predicate pred,
interrupt_token itoken);
This new overloads require a predicate. The versions ensure to get notified if an interrupt is signalled for the passed std::interrupt_token itoken. After the wait calls, you can check if an interrupt occurred.
cv.wait_until(lock, predicate, itoken);
if (itoken.is_interrupted()){
// interrupt occurred
As I promised in my last post, my next post is about the remaining rules for defining concepts.

High School Sports
High school softball: Meet the new coaches in the Bi-City area
The softball season is under way, and for most of the teams it's business as usual. It may be a new year, but not much has changed in regards to who is running the program.
For five teams in the Bi-City area, however, they are breaking in new coaches. Some, like Chattahoochee's Ken Mapp are lifelong coaches. Others, like Spencer's Kyndall Schaaf, are getting their first taste.
Here's a look at each of the five new coaches and what they hope to accomplish in their respective jobs.
Heather Wilkinson, Pacelli
Wilkinson replaces Lonny Arrington, who had been involved in softball and baseball at the school for a number of years. She has coached softball for three years, two of which were spent as a junior varsity and assistant varsity coach in Ramstein, Germany.
Wilkinson played softball for about 12 years, she said, in slow pitch, but did not play in high school, electing instead to swim and run track. She did play for a community softball team throughout high school, however.
In her time with Pacelli, she said she hopes the team can develop solid fundamentals and be able to compete in the region and, as a result, the playoffs. She has helped the players set goals for themselves and the team.
"We keep (those) written in the locker room as inspiration for the season," she said.
Kyndal Schaaf, Spencer
Schaaf is in her first year as a softball coach. She has coached soccer in the past, and only recently graduated from Armstrong Atlantic State University. She played soccer at the university for five years under Eric Faulconer and softball for two years.
Before coming to Columbus, she was coaching soccer full-time in Savannah. In high school, she was a three-sport athlete at Shaw, playing softball, basketball and soccer.
At Spencer this season, she said she would like to have a winning season and make the playoffs.
"I get satisfaction when I see my kids succeed and improve," she said, adding her desire to instill traits like discipline, character and leadership. "My girls have been working hard, and we are all excited about the upcoming season."
Nate McConnell, Brookstone
McConnell replaces Debbie Ball, a fixture in Columbus high school athletics for years. He was an assistant varsity softball coach under Ball for two years before taking over the head coaching job earlier this year.
He has also been an assistant varsity baseball coach for six years under Vince Massey.
McConnell played baseball at Shaw and was a member of the 2001 state championship baseball team. He went on to play four years of college baseball, two at CVCC and two at AUM.
He said his goal in his first season as the head coach is to teach the girls that they can only get out what they put in, in life or in softball.
Brandon Jenkins, Northside
Jenkins took over the job vacated by David Smart, who remains the Patriots' baseball coach. Jenkins had been an assistant baseball coach under Smart for three years and planned on joining Smart's softball staff as well.
Jenkins said Smart stepped down to be able to see his daughter compete in volleyball, however, and the job was a perfect fit.
Jenkins' dad, Murphy Jenkins, was a high school coach, as well, spending time at Columbus and Kendrick over the course of his 30 years coaching.
Jenkins played baseball for Columbus under Bobby Howard, graduated in 1998 with two state championship rings and played one season at CVCC.
He said he has high expectations for the team this year.
"I think you have to aim high to be competitive at this level," he said.
Ken Mapp, Chattahoochee County
Mapp is a lifelong coach, who spent time coaching slow pitch in Alabama before his 13 years at Callaway, where his teams made the playoffs in seven out of eight seasons. He is a member of the Alabama Amateur Softball Hall of Fame and was an assistant coach under Lindi Wright Chattahoochee County's first varsity season last year.
He said the program has gained a lot of players this year, though it returns only five from last year. He will have to add a junior varsity program, however, which is great for the growth of the program.
At 65 years old, he said he still loves the game and loves to see it played the correct way.
His hope is that he can help the girls who came out for the team to learn and progress constantly, eventually being able to compete on a game-to-game basis.
"We play 15 games this year," he said. "We only played nine last year. I won't predict if we can win a game or not, but I know we're going to get better."

How To Create Traffic Flow? Add A Photo Finish!Wednesday, September 26th, 2007
When you invite more people to a party at your house than will comfortably (and quietly) fit inside, what can you do?
Lure them to the back yard with food and photos – that's what!
The hostess who hired me for a 70th birthday party last Sunday afternoon did just that. Knowing all too well that her new, scaled-down house would quickly run out of space if all her guests showed up at once (which they did), she devised a triple whammy to keep them moving all the way out the back door.
1. Every chair light enough to be easily moved had been placed on the patio. If you wanted to sit – and the couch was always taken – you could see out the rear picture window where relief was waiting.
2. Food and beverages were also available outside (without wading through the crowd grazing around the dining room table.)
But the real draw was item number three:
3. A dozen or more group photos (from weddings in years gone by, and even from earlier parties) had been enlarged to poster size, and were creatively positioned around the back yard.
Sure, the chairs and food attracted a few folks. But you should have seen the crowds gathered around the various pictures! Since this was an event where everybody has known everyone else for decades, almost all of the invitees were in at least one of those photos. Some were in several. The attraction was irresistible. As word of mouth spread through the party, even more folks ventured out into the evening shade for a gander at the gallery. Meanwhile, inside, the back yard showcase served as a pressure valve, preventing the house from ever getting too loud or too crowded. Brilliant!
150 years ago, P.T. Barnum tried a variation on this idea at his Manhattan museum. After passing by the bearded lady and General Tom Thumb, his customers saw a sign advising, "This Way To The Egress." They went through a door out into the sunshine – only then discovering that "egress" meant "exit." (And – in true Barnum "There's a sucker born every minute" fashion – there was no handle on the outside of that door to let them back in.)

NEW DELHI: According to the Fourth Assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Green House Gases (GHG) emissions cause warming and induce many changes in the global climate system with likelihood of causing adverse impacts in various sectors such as water resources, agriculture, forests, natural eco-systems, coastal zones, health, energy and infrastructure.
This was stated by Shrimati Jayanthi Natarajan Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Environment and Forests, in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
Government has released National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) on June 30 2008. Two of the eight National Missions i.e. National Solar Mission and National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency relate to mitigation of emissions and include ambitious programmes aimed at generating solar power and conserving energy. Energy Efficiency mission envisages setting norms for achieving energy efficiency under perform, achieve and Trade Scheme.
As per the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change GHG emissions data for the year 2010, the total aggregate GHG emissions including Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) for the developed and developing countries is in order of 15124.4 Teragram (Tg) Carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2- eq) and 11931.495 Tg CO2- eq respectively.

November 26, 2009
I am not a particularly sentimental person: when I heard about Friends Re-United I was unmoved, and I am not especially keen on Facebook, although I have found myself reconnecting there with some great people from my past. What surprises me is some of them seeking me out!
What staggers me, though, is what has happened via my old friend, LinkedIn! It does require you to complete your profile, and you don't really feel complete till you do. That took me nearly two years, but once I had done it, things accelerated in a weird way.
I completed the universities and colleges I had been to, and then for completeness I thought – why not? – I entered my old school, The Harvey Grammar School, Folkestone. I was there for long enough – seven years –but I have never been back. One's memories too are mixed – some good things and some not so good.
Once I had triggered the association, however, I discovered a Group of Harveians on Linkedin, which I promptly joined. Before I knew where I was, I was happily chatting to the Moderator of the Group, and then linking to other members, and even discovering people I was in class with way back then.
I find myself very satisfied with this. In fact so satisfied that I have joined the non-Web based Old Harveian Association, and now intend to go down to their Annual Dinner on the 5th December – and may be will meet ex-class mates, ex-teachers, and less likely but ex-enemies from all those years ago (the Sixties, for those wondering!). Hopefully 'enemies' can easily become friends after the distance we have travelled.
The point, I guess, is that it is easy in our atomised society to be always moving on, to discount the past that has served its purpose. But I increasingly realise that part of our mission is to make sense of our lives and part of that is to return to the child-like (not childish) and open state we had at the beginning.
Thus, relaxing into the past could be very motivating – where (for some) there is no trauma too great or unbearable - and a joyous and re-invigorating experience. It invites one to think: how this all contributed to the puzzle that is our life now. And forty years on (nearly for me) that is challenging – five or even ten years after I left, what the school had done seemed obvious. Now?
If anyone reading this is from the Harvey Grammar, or knows anyone, then please get them to contact Mark Harrison - http://uk.linkedin.com/in/endlessleisure - who is doing a great job drumming up support on Linkedin. And the LinkedIn link is: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=105051&trk=myg_ugrp_ovr.
Look forward to more connecting in due course! And, see some of you on the 5th December!

Gabrielle Union, star of the B.E.T.'s "Being Mary Jane," talked about her struggle with infertility, failed IVF cycles and several miscarriages in a recent issue of People magazine.
Union, who has been married to former Chicago Bull Dwyane Wade since 2015, said in the interview that she had eight or nine miscarriages and had gone through eight cycles of IVF, none successful.
"For three years, my body has been a prisoner of trying to get pregnant - I've either been about to go into an IVF cycle, in the middle of an IVF cycle or coming out of an IVF cycle," said Union, whose character on "Being Mary Jane" is a successful single TV journalist fighting her way to the top.
But she's not giving up.
"Going through as many miscarriages and IVF treatments as Gabrielle has, has put her body and mind through a lot of turmoil but she says she's not going to give up," said Patrick Gomez, a People magazine senior writer.
Union has two step-sons, Zaire and Zion, but confesses that although she is bursting with joy at all of her stepkids' milestones she never wanted children until she met Wade
"I was afraid to be attached to a man for life if our relationship didn't work out," she said in the People interview. "I was fulfilled raising children, a joy I never saw coming. Wanting to have babies with Dwayne was a natural desire built on that joy."
Despite her struggle, she continues to remain hopeful.
"This child we want to have had been loved even as an idea. Each attempt at IVF is a loving action. So we remain here, bursting with love and ready to do anything to meet the child we've both dreamed of," Union said.

Scheduled storm debris collections begin Nov. 28th on the Barrier Island. Please do not use Township robo cans for storm debris. Storm debris is being collected by a private contractor, through an agreement with Ocean County consistent with FEMA regulations, using machinery designed to collect loose bulk waste. The Township robo cans are not compatible with this system.
Township crews have been working on emptying robo cans already packed by residents. Once they have been emptied, please do not reuse them until regular collection routes are re-implemented.
Also, when placing storm related debris for collection, be certain that the gas meter remains unobstructed.

Awesome! Can't wait
Art is Nature in the flask; Nature is a vial thing.
Very timely! The publisher just sent us the final draft, and I just sent him my corrections yesterday.
This will be a very professional translation, and also involving a very big name in alchemy who reviewed the translation. The book will be very academic in format and I believe there will be 200 limited copies in a finely printed hard cover format. Following that there will be less expensive copies in a paperback format.
This treatise is outstanding for its openness in revealing many of the most highly regarded secrets in alchemy. It is also likely the very treatise that Fulcanelli used to point him to the secrets of making the Stone.
The book will not only include the most accurate transcription of the French version to date, but also the very best professional translation ever made side by side.
Now that the book is finalized (except for some biographical notes) I suspect that the book will be published in the very near future.
This book is a real treasure of secret information revealed quite openly.
You're such a salesman, Illen
But I am a bit of a sucker for first edition translations
Edit: also, awesome news!
Art is Nature in the flask; Nature is a vial thing.
However, seeing how these rare first editions increase dramatically in value, it is indeed tempting, if not from a financial point of view :-)
Quite right. As language evolves, it's interesting to see how one text can be adapted by one language from first to second or third editions. And if anything, the mindset of the translators.
And your collection puts mine to shame, haha. I have about 20...
Art is Nature in the flask; Nature is a vial thing.
Only 20 books in total?? I never could understand how anyone could live with so few books :-) I have over 150 physical books on alchemy alone (not including hundreds of electronic books and treatises).
You should see my collection of Grail books - it totally puts my alchemy books to shame :-)
I have to agree that "Recreations Hermetiques" is a text of high value and does indeed openly reveal much that has been obscured by the Philosopher's. Funny that this thread is resurrected now as this has been one of the forefront texts of my study that last few weeks. The post I made in Awani's thread recently was wisdom taken directly from "Recreations Hermetiques" except that I left some information out. A few English copies have been floating around the internet for years now. I will post what I have linked in post #29 of this thread at the beginning of the year...
Here is "Recreations Hermetiques" in English anyone can download that has been freely available online for years: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ww9s78...Hermetique.pdf
I believe this copy was translated from French to English. Do you know what year your copy was originally written, Illen?

This book that is being published is of the most professional translation quality and extremely accurate. It has taken over four years of endless work to get it right, even in some of the most subtle nuances. It has also been reviewed by four separate persons, some of whom are very fluent in both English, old French, and alchemy.
One of those who reviewed, and provided valuable input to the translation, was a direct student and close friend of Eugene Canseliet, who, in turn was not only a direct student of Fulcanelli, but who was responsible for publishing Fulcanelli's two books after Fulcanelli "mysteriously left" for good.

Tomorrow marks the 25th anniversary of the World's Biggest Coffee Morning, a morning where you get to drink good coffee and support a fantastic and worthwhile cause.
Did you know that 16,530 people across Northern Ireland are diagnosed with cancer every year? I know a few people making up that number and I also know how cancer can absolutely devastate a patient's life. Macmillan work to ease that load and they do a wonderful job. Speaking from personal experience, the help, aide and advice they offer both patients and their family is immeasurable. They are aware that dealing with cancer and it's fallout can be a hugely isolating experience and so the Coffee Morning was born. A chance for local communities to come together to support each other, have the ultimate chats, drink really great coffee and eat cake and all for a great cause, raising much needed funds.

IOC opening field of competition to trans athletes with new policy
From ESPN:
The Olympics are reportedly opening the field of competition to transgender athletes by adopting an updated policy that reflects standards already adopted by other regulatory sports organizations.
As first reported by Outsports, in November the International Olympic Committee received new proposed guidelines from its "Consensus Meeting on Sex Reassignment and Hyperandrogenism," allowing for broader policies for the inclusion of transgender athletes.
Olympics officials have yet to announce formally that the Games have adopted the new guidelines, which can be found on their website. If formally adopted, the potential rules update would bring the Olympics in line with the standards already employed by the NCAA in the United States by allowing both male-to-female and female-to-male transgender athletes to compete without having had surgery.
The Olympics already had rules formally allowing and acknowledging trans athletes' right to compete but with specific provisions under the Stockholm Consensus adopted in 2004 before the Olympics in Athens: Transgender athletes had to have gender reassignment surgery; they must have legal recognition of the gender they were assigned at birth; and they had to have undergone at least two years of hormone replacement therapy after surgery. The proposed new rules would bring the Olympics in line with the NCAA's standard of one year of hormone replacement therapy — with no surgical requirement — before being allowed to compete.

Trans triathlete Chris Mosier may be barred from competing at World Championships
In the eyes of the people who created the IOC policy, Mosier was never supposed to exist. Yet here he is, stuck being held to a policy that was never intended to apply to him.

Last month Elizabeth hosted our June Crafternoon. For this craft we didn't sew anything or repurposed an old item, this time we painted! I love to paint. It's such a fun way to express yourself and I find it very relaxing. Recently, I've seen these Painting Party businesses popping up EVERYWHERE! The first one I heard of was actually my bestie's business called the Traveling-Tipsi Artist. She started this because she loves to paint, teach, and host parties, so what a fun way to do all three! I actually did a post about her and her business...check it out, My Friend the Traveling-Tipsi Artist. Well, June's Crafternoon was very similar. We each brought some yummy cheese/wine trays, some blank canvas, and our creativity.
Look at all that yumminess on one platter!
More CHHHHEEEESSSSEEEEEE!
About to get our paint on!
Blank canvas' turn into.....masterpieces!
Creating their artwork...
Looking good ladies!
Even the kiddos wanted to paint too!
I decided I didn't want to do the same painting the other ladies were doing,
so I found a picture of a fox then sketched it out on my canvas.
Then painted my picture.
Here's Elizabeth and Jennies beautiful Cherry Blossoms.
And Marissa's too!
I think my fox turned out pretty cute!
Can't wait to hang it in Kinley's room with the rest of her fox paintings!
