Experienced DWI Defense in New Jersey
In New Jersey, DWI charges carry very steep penalties. In addition to initial fines, jail time, and license suspension, you can also face expensive annual surcharges for years after your arrest. For all of these reasons, and many more, you should call an experienced New Jersey DWI attorney if you've been arrested for DWI.
At the Law Offices of Christopher L. Baxter, our attorney has more than 30 years of legal experience, and has represented more than 3,200 DWI clients in that time.

Our Shamong Township DWI attorney can help defend you against DWI conviction. Call our firm at 856-235-9881 today for skilled representation.
Three Effective Defenses Against DWI Charges
1) Questioning the Results of a Breath Testing Device
Under perfect conditions, a breath test can be an extremely accurate way to estimate your blood alcohol content. However, these tests are rarely given under perfect conditions, and there are many reasons why these results can be inaccurate or inadmissible as evidence. Our Shamong Township DWI lawyer has taken numerous training courses related to the function and operation of breath testing devices, and understands many factors that can cause inaccurate results.
2) Challenging Field Sobriety Tests
Field sobriety tests are essentially just coordination exercises. While intoxication can definitely cause you to perform poorly on these tests, there are a number of other reasons for a poor performance, including fatigue, allergies, certain diseases, or even a sloped pavement. Attorney Baxter has extensively studied the NHTSA field sobriety testing procedures, and understands exactly how they should be performed.
3) Dispute the Legality of the Initial Stop
In many cases, it can be impossible for the court to convict you of DWI if it can be proved that the initial traffic stop was illegal. If the officer did not have probable cause to stop your car, then none of the subsequent evidence can be used in court. This includes the results of field sobriety tests, breath tests, and other critical components.

In the Dec. 25 issue of The Chronicle of the Horse, Bernie Traurig and George H. Morris both penned columns discussing the state of the equitation division and their observations of current equitation trends.
Traurig wrote:
One of two observations from the Maclay this year was that with too large a percentage of the riders, there was a lack of enough elasticity in their release (following arm) with contact, whether in a straight line or in a broken line. Today this following arm is referred to as the automatic release. In a nutshell, it is an arm that is independent of the neck and elastic enough to keep a light contact over the jump without stiffing the horse in the mouth and negatively affecting the horse's jumping effort. It absolutely requires a solid independent seat. It is the most advanced, artistic release a rider can master and so valuable in the equitation and jumper divisions.
Most of the historic photos in this article depict the straight line from elbow to mouth that was so prevalent during the last century, roughly until the late 1970s. In today's era, I think it's more about the soft connection with the mouth and independence from the neck, regardless if the line is slightly broken or is absolutely straight. Some will say a straight line is the best connection with the mouth, and I don't disagree with that. However, there are so many factors that play into that line. For instance, what moment of the jump did the camera capture?
I personally am more interested in a supple connection and independence from the neck for balance, rather than focusing on the straightness of the line. The exception here would be while schooling, when I do encourage riders to try to achieve a straight line because it is more difficult and develops the rider's muscle memory. Gordon Wright, one of George Morris' most influential teachers, has a diagram in his book depicting a broken line as acceptable, but a release below the straight line as unacceptable. Simply said, are we balanced on the neck for support (crest release) of our upper body or not?
When we, as trainers, start curtailing, eliminating or underestimating the benefits of standard, classical basics that the masters before us routinely instilled, then we have to ask ourselves why. Are we making life easier for the student? Is the student disciplined enough to do the exercise drills to perfect their base? Or have we forgotten or perhaps never been aware of these classical basics that lead to great riding? More than three decades ago George Morris told me, "Bernie, they never read my last chapter, the most advanced release, 'The Automatic Release.' " To a great degree he may be right.
And Traurig wanted readers to watch this classic video of the U.S. Equestrian Team competing in Europe with Bertalan de Némethy, coach of the USET for 25 years. "It exemplifies a beautiful, quiet forward seat as well as elastic, following arms. Bert's passion for correct riding basics was unparalleled," Traurig said.
And don't miss Traurig and Morris' columns in the Dec. 25 issue of the Chronicle, which is the annual Holiday Issue and also features holiday pets and heartwarming holiday stories, coverage of the U.S. Eventing Association annual meeting (including an insightful Q&A with new coach Eric Duvander), a photo spread of opening meets from fox hunts around the country, and more.

Artist Devin Liston, perhaps best known as one half of the duo devNgosha, featured here, is recently aiming towards a singular voice. His new body of work, debuting at Los Angeles' KP PROJECTS/MK gallery this weekend, represents a different direction for the artist who up to this point has mostly worked with collectives. Within the series, titled "Department of Water & Power", Liston's portraits of friends and more figurative characters merge detailed realism with expressive brushstrokes and dabs of vibrant color. We caught up with him recently in his Los Angeles studio as he was putting in the final touches. Check out the interview below.
HF: What does the show title "Department of Water & Power" mean to you?
DL: It's basically about my personal journey through life as of recent. Ive been through a lot of changes in the last year and I really needed to talk about it in my work. It sort of translates to: The search for the power to keep swimming. This show helped me come to a lot of understanding about myself as a person, which has helped me come to a lot of understanding about humanity and life. The department is really just us as the living vessel and the water and power is the everything that comes along with that.
HF: How has your previous work and collaborations influenced your new artwork?
DL: I've been so lucky to work with the people Ive worked with. I got to learn so many specific techniques and have been able to see such unique perspectives in action. The new work is all of the great stuff I've been able to learn in the past along with the element of allowing myself to learn more. It feels like a new beginning as far as I can tell. There is also a lot of stuff that I need to unlearn. This work is a fresh perspective, its about letting go of things as well.
HF: What's the most important element in your artwork?
DL: I believe at this point in creating that the most important element in my work is freedom. I'm learning more and more how to not let the past or the future effect the way I create things. I really want to be present and in the moment when I'm in my studio. The work is more genuine when I am able to allow my self to be vulnerable. It also needs to be fun. If I can't see the fun in my own work than I usually feel that it was a failure.
HF: What inspired this new body of work?
DL: I felt the need to communicate what was going on on the inside. There was this need to really have a deep ass conversation with myself and the air around me. There was plenty of shit that I wanted to let go of so I could stop thinking about it and messing it all up in my psyche.
HF: Your work can sometimes have abstract elements but also focuses on realism- Do you like to work in one area over the other? And how do you approach the process?
DL: I will bring it back to freedom. Sometimes I am very focused and sometimes I am all over the fucking place, but I don't want to let that stop me from working everyday. I have this need for art to be fun. Sometimes its all about spending two days on a portrait and I love it, while other times its about throwing paint on the canvas and the sanding the shit out of it. It's all about flowing with the way I feel.
HF: What's your daily routine like when you're preparing for a show like this one?
DL: Wake up, get a really massive coffee. Try and get to the point where I am able to think straight. maybe go have a face to face conversation with somebody that's not in the middle of making an art show so I can get a little reality in. Then I will fuck around a bit more somewhere maybe walk around. Then I will get to the studio and work late late hours. I'm on the night shift. I like the solitude. Then at some point I will be covered in paint and feeling dirty and crazy and my back will hurt and I will go to sleep.
HF: What's next for you?
I'm going to keep exploring the work I've been doing lately. I feel like I have a lot more to talk about with it.

I've only had the device for a short time and already I am very much appreciating it. Here is a direct feed from my brain:
1. The back case is plastic. Nice quality, but plastic. Which is good. Because my BlackBerry is a tool for getting stuff done. I want to be able to toss it on the table without fearing a scratch.
2. I really like the fact the Z10's NFC 'receiver/transmitter' is BlackBerry logo on the back of the case.
3. I LOVE the fact there's a removable battery. LOVE it.
4. The on screen keyboard is simply the best I've ever used, bar none. Bar none. It's fast, it's incredibly accurate and I really, REALLY like the fact you can more or less type whole sentences without spaces and the system will parse it for you. The amount of times I've written somethinglikethis and then had to do about 21 keypresses to delete the word… gah. The BB10 keyboard parses somethinglikethis into "something like this" immediately without any thinking on your part.
5. Uniformly across the UI is the facility to turn 'on' password display — it's just a little eye icon at the right of any password field. I can't tell you how nice that makes setting up accounts. I have some complicated passwords!
6. When you're entering passwords, the keyboard automatically expands to place a numerical row on top of the standard QWERTY input. Duh. Of course. This is a slap-head-stupidly-smart touch. Of COURSE. I really don't enjoy having to constantly swap alpha to numerical keyboards every time I enter a password. Smart thinking, RIM.
7. The device feels chunky — it's got a nice weight to it. A nice solidity. I feel confident in it's abilities. I don't feel concerned about damaging it. It doesn't feel as fragile as the iPhone or a Galaxy SIII. It feels robust. Just what I want in a communications tool.
8. I really enjoy the thumb-interface. Hold the device in one hand and you can switch on the screen and peak at your email in a single fluid movement.
9. There's no home button. No buttons to speak off (apart from those on the shell). To activate the device you simply swipe up from the BlackBerry logo on the bottom bevel. Bang. The screen appears and as you swipe up, the last screen you were using is slowly revealed in a rather pleasing blur. Pleasing enough to show off repeatedly to everyone you meet 😉
10. The sleep function is really nice: Plug the device in and pull down the 'night' option and an attractive, minimalist analog clock appears in pleasing red colours but at a very low light level so the brightness doesn't keep you awake. That stays active the whole time unless you specifically switch off the screen with the top button.
Ok I was only going to write 10 but here are some more that I can't help but tell you about.
11. The BlackBerry Hub is now your central inbox to rule them all. It's really nice to see it realised in glorious "HD" quality on the Z10 screen. Indeed it feels slightly surreal looking at the familiar RIM icons in high quality.
12. The super-app concept is live and well; so apps can easily integrate into your Hub. For instance, you can accept a LinkedIn request directly from the Hub inbox listing. Just tap and it's done. No need to actually fire up the LinkedIn app for that. Similarly with Facbeook and Twitter.
13. I was initially horrified to find that Evernote was missing from BlackBerry World (the new App World name). Until I remembered that Evernote is baked in. It's baked into the operating system now as "Reminders". Just put in your Evernote credentials and there you go.
14. I will be dining out on the camera timeshift function for a long time. It works exactly as the team demonstrated on stage at the keynote last year. It's brilliant.
15. Everything's ready for 2013. The built-in sharing is excellent and fully functional. There are no compromises as with the last versions of the OS.
16. Video calling from BBM rocks. What's EVEN FLIPPING BETTER is the ability to share your phone screen with the other party. Yes, you read that right. "Desktop sharing" of your BlackBerry. Heh. Really useful if you're trying to make a point or demonstrate something. Or show off a particular email.
17. The browser is fast. Very, very fast. I think I'm right in saying it's the best HTML5 compliant browser bar none. It's really enjoyable.
18. I was concerned about how to attach the BlackBerry to an old BES5 server. I shouldn't have worried. BB10 now has ActiveSync support — so provided you've got that enabled on your Exchange server, you'll be fine. A nice move from RIM.
19. BlackBerry World is looking good. I'm going to try out some of the TV and movies, all supplied by Rovio. (I won't yet comment on the app selection as I want to make sure it's all live and operational first.)
20. DropBox support also appears built-in but I'll need to confirm that. It looks that way. I haven't had to download an app to get it working. Box is installed by default, along with DocsToGo. Editing a PowerPoint on your BlackBerry is now a realistic proposition.
21. For the first time ever, a video sent to me from my brother's iPhone played without any jiggerypokery on a BlackBerry. As I commented above, BB10 is 2013-ready. Small things like this were missing from the older devices. They were capable, but only if the videos were formatted in a particular manner and so on. Now it's seamless. And the screen is wonderful.
22. I like the Inbox delete function — they've placed it bottom right so it's quick to access all the time. On that point, I do miss the keyboard shortcuts but the touchscreen definitely makes up for it.
23. The touchscreen just works. No lag, no messing around, no compensation required from me. And no double swiping because the system didn't detect your first swipe. It's all perfect.
Ok. I'll have more for you shortly.

creating a video with dowloaded files using ruby and ffmpeg
The city were I lived has been having some quite troubling air quality issues. And I wanted to document it in a visual way.
I wanted to create a video composed of images taken at around the same time of day and create a video of it as a form of visualization.
Since I don't have a webcam I had to use images from a known webcam that has a very good view of the city.

On Seclusion: Do nothingJul 09, 2017
Along with silence and mindful breathing, seclusion is accessible, often overlooked and under-appreciated medicine. Different than isolation, seclusion is a foundational practice for sages and artists, called The No. 1 Habit of Highly Creative People.
Einstein, Kafka, Tesla, Picasso all lived creative, productive lives with the help of seclusion.
Seeking shelter in these times – for rest, contemplation, space for creative pursuits – is a radical, necessary, pacifying and appropriate act to maintain mental stability and resilience.
What are you creating that could use a boost – family? career? An extraordinary relationship? A personal paradigm shift? A healing lifestyle? Consider secluding to write, rest, dream, zone out and tune in. Don't worry about looking lazy! With so much pressure to produce in this industrialized culture, resting may be the antidote for the Atomic Age – the period of history following the first artificial, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction. This science-fiction-turned-reality ushered in profound changes in sociopolitical thinking, lifestyle, the course of technology development and our health. Slow it down.
My meditation practice has changed this year. I fell in love and now live with my partner. I also altered my business, so my daily rhythm is not as controllable as it once was. When I lived alone, I could easily sit and meditate for hours a day. What bliss!!! I have voluntarily exchanged some of my idealistic meditation sadhana (spiritual practice) – ideal in an ashram setting, which my home had been, living alone so long – with a relationship sadhana, and a kitchen sadhana, a puppy sadhana (we just adopted a Maltipoo!) and a seclusion sadhana. Empathic, I need alone time to recharge. I love the quiet, shaded house while my love is away. I love our bed, where I write and rest. I love listening to the windchimes and working at my own pace.
"Cabin fever:" seclusion may have reached a peak and it might be time to shift to more public activity – to participate. This could be as brief as a trip to the store to buy apples. Making a phone call might be plenty, or open the way to more overt activity. Facebook? To participate or not to participate? A weekly meeting with a consistent group of people (a class or self-help group, for example) and one-on-one time with trusted friends are two healthy social scenarios. I appreciate 12 Step recovery groups – consistent group meetings with a repetitive, predictable format ease stress for me.
Practicing mindful seclusion is encouraged to avoid burning out either end – with either too much participation or from too much seclusion. Trust yourself that you will know the difference.
My spiritual practice includes approaching, with wisdom, an indulgence in quietude and in good company as I feel ready – without pressure or rushing, guilt-free.
Clarity comes with calmness. Calmness comes with quietude. Quietude results from seclusion. As monks, poets and artists: do what might look like nothing – a simple, effective reset for better health.
Come participate in healthy seclusion in a small group setting Saturday, July 15 at Grateful Spirit Yoga in Atascadero. Register at http://www.brookewestyoga.com/workshops.

Summary (CAUTION SUMMARY CONTAINS SPOILERS):[spoiler]When his brother is killed in battle, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand - and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora. Written by The Massie Twin[/spoiler]
Over 16 years ago, James Cameron wrote a 114-page 'scriptment' on an early idea of Avatar. 16 years. Cameron planned on following 'Titanic' with Avatar, but because of both technological and financial restraints, he was unable to do so.
Fast forward to around 2004, ten years after his project was shelved, it was apparent that he technology that he required was accessible. Fast forward five years to present. December 17, 2009. I witnessed one of the most incredible spectacles in this I have been privy to.
From the outset, it was apparent from that moment on, the film was going to be like nothing myself or anyone in the audience had seen.
Virtually every aspect about Avatar was breathtaking, from the visuals, down to the revolutionary MoCap technology that was developed for the film. Motion Capture itself is a ground breaking piece of technology, but the way in which it was utilised within this film was outstanding. The expressions, the likeness of their real-life counterparts were extraordinary.
The emotion that was transferred over into the Na'vi likenesses was just inconceivable, it[the technology] really captured every muscle on the character's face, from the tiny twinges of Neytiri's eyes, to the way Jake Sully gives a small hint of a smile toward her. Amazing.
Something that excelled this film even further for me was the language that was created. By creating a language that was unique to the Na'vi, it brought out a whole other perspective. I really felt that the true emotion from the Na'vi(who spoke, anyway) came from their native tongues, rather than when they spoke English. It felt far more organic, believable.
3D to me is something that I'm still a little undecided about. It's something that has been around for generations, and has only just been recently 'revamped', if you will, into something that is meant to completely change cinema. Watching Avatar in 3D was something that absolutely must be done the first time. Although iffy in places, the moments within the Pandora world are so extravagant, that it(It's been said so many times before, but I mean this) really feels like your there, watching the Na'vi jump from branch to branch, interact with each other. While I was watching, I honestly became incredibly immersed within the film that I almost felt a little disoriented if I looked away from the screen. Then in saying so, it was possibly the glasses I had on for too long. Possibly.
Negative? Maybe one thing. the character development was seemingly absent in this film. A lot of the characters didn't seem to be progressing much, weren't going anywhere- being developed. It was great seeing each of them, but, it was lacking in this department. They were far from one dimensional, each character had their own identifiable characteristic, but ultimately, they were just that- Characters with a specific trait to tell them apart from the others. That and the really bad dialogue.
This negative does not at all bring the might of this film down, because there was one major thing that makes Avatar one of the best films in 2009, to me, at least: The soundtrack.
The soundtrack... Will be left for another time. Right now, this was the Avatar review.
Overall, great characters, great plot, just the right amount of action, amazing visuals, most definitely better in 3D, emotion, romance, it has it all. Ladies and gentlemen, this film...was Titanic. As in, the size..because..ahh. You get it.
With already 13 award nominations within days of its release, it's no wonder this is being hailed as the most revolutionary film of all time.

The Philippines, in southeastern Asia, consists of 7,107 islands lying between the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean. The islands of Luzon and Mindanao account for two-thirds of the land area. Even though the Philippines lies just north of the world's largest Muslim state, Indonesia, it is about 94 percent Christian—mostly Roman Catholic. About five percent of Filipinos are Muslim, mostly living on the islands of Mindanao and Palawan—islands closest to the Muslim countries of Malaysia and Indonesia.
In 1521 Ferdinand Magellan claimed the Philippines for Spain, which ceded the islands to the U.S. in 1898. Independence came in 1946, after Japanese occupation ended. Widespread poverty and political corruption sparked social unrest starting in the 1970s. In 1986 President Ferdinand Marcos was compelled to hold an election. Despite his fraudulent claim to victory, Marcos was forced into exile, and Corazon Aquino, widow of a murdered opposition leader, became president. The government continues to make progress in negotiations with Muslim rebels with a cease-fire in 2003, and it works to provide political representation and economic development to the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao.

Read the full article by Caroline Llanes (Michigan Public Radio)
"Former Governor Rick Snyder stirred controversy when he appointed business and industry representatives to the Environmental Rules Review Committee (ERRC), a regulatory oversight board to oversee rulemaking within the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.
Now, that board is slowing down the advancement of new drinking water standards that limit acceptable levels of chemicals from the PFAS family in Michigan's drinking water.
The board voted to table any decision on whether to approve the new standards for another two weeks. The motion, originally brought by Grant Trigger, follows another motion brought by David Maness, who motioned to table the vote until November 21. Trigger manages cleanup operations for RACER Trust, which markets contaminated former General Motors Properties. Maness is the CEO of Maness Petroleum.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer approved a draft of the new standards on October 11, and the state is hoping to have the standards in place by summer.
The proposed standards are as follows:
– PFNA: 6 parts per trillion
– PFOA: 8 ppt
– PFHxA: 400,000 ppt
– PFOS: 16 ppt
– PFHxS: 51 ppt
– PFBS: 420 ppt
– GenX: 370 ppt
According to a press release issued by the governor's office, about 2,700 public water system operators around the state would be covered under the new rule.
Scott Dean of EGLE said 'EGLE is committed to providing the ERRC with answers to their questions regarding Part 201 and the Regulatory Impact Statement prior to their Nov 14 meeting.' He declined to comment on the commission or their deliberations.
Dave Fiedler is the regulatory affairs officer for EGLE. He says the committee was most concerned about the effects of implementing these rules, especially in terms of toxic site cleanup and small businesses…
Fiedler says these questions are things like 'are there federal rules out there, and if so, how do these compare with the federal rules? Is there a disproportionate impact on small businesses as a result of these rule changes. Another question deals with the cost of compliance with the rules, are they commensurate with the benefits achieved by the new rules? So there's a lot of kind of a cost-benefit analysis that has to be conducted and provided in this regulatory impact statement, so that the committee had several questions on the department's responses to those questions.'
In the end, Fiedler says, it's not up to the ERRC about whether the new standards get passed…"

Moleskin: Doubtfire (from Knoxville) told me earlier in the week that he would be in the Memphis area for this morning's workout. Slicnut told him that The Levee was a ruck workout, so Doubtfire decided to post at The Morg with me. SURPRISE! We were also doing a ruck workout.
Phat Pat tried some mind tricks to get me to help him "taper." (He doesn't need "help.") Lucky for him, I like to ruck and don't love ruck PT.


text: We've all been told, "Networking is critical," so often that by now it's about as interesting as, "You should floss daily." But the truth of the matter is that CIOs in the know do regularly turn to their personal networks to source effective talent. And paying regular attention to your network does, in fact, pay off. \n\nCraig Cuyar leaned on his personal network soon after being hired as global CIO of Cushman and Wakefield. Additional talent was needed for his team and he successfully hired four direct reports by reaching out to his personal contacts. "It's clearly a long-term effort," he says of \nbuilding his network. "I couldn't have hired those people unless I had spent some time building those relationships and getting to know them personally."\n\nThe greatest benefit to working your personal network may be the inherent trust. Employing a known entity reduces costs and hiring risk. Cuyar had no doubts about those in his network and they, in turn, had an established trust in him. His hires, he affirms, "knew how I thought, my leadership style and what latitude they'd have in running their organizations." With no learning curve, his team was immediately effective in initiating the desired cultural changes.\n\nGary Fling, recently appointed CIO of Phibro Animal Health, echoed the sentiment. In his last CIO role, Fling hired six team members\u2014nearly 25 percent of his hiring opportunities\u2014from his network. "We had much more rapid success in the goals we'd established for ourselves." Gary maintains that his personal and professional networks have become the pool from which he can draw employees who he knows have the core competencies his organization needs.\n\nObviously it's impossible to cultivate personal relationships with every business contact, so you need to be deliberate in where you spend your time. Bolstering your network at both peer and direct-report levels can be accomplished through giveback. Michael Iacona, CIO of TMP Worldwide Advertising and Communications, who also successfully hired from his network this year, is active in Columbia's Executive Master's in Technology Management Program. The time he dedicated to and the purpose he shared with the people there added no fewer than 10 truly meaningful professional relationships to his network. Iacona stated, "The key word that needs to follow networking is relationships. And networking and relationships aren't the same thing." \n\nEvery CIO I spoke with quantified the strength of their network by the number of quality relationships, not the number of LinkedIn connections. Iacona was clear: "Relationships can't be built exponentially because a relationship implies time invested in learning about and knowing about those other people. It's about building those relationships such that you have a network of strong relationships, and LinkedIn is really just a facilitation of that; it's not the other way around."\n\nNo one says it's easy. Fling jokes that, like most of his IT brethren, he's not a natural networker. "It takes energy to do the things you need to do networking-wise." \n\nBut by leveraging their own networks, these CIOs saved money and gained key decision makers who shared similar beliefs, work ethics and philosophies. In addition, the trust factor increased the immediacy of the hires' effectiveness in driving organizational goals. Isn't that the target for every hire? In today's market, where every decision and every penny is mission-critical, CIOs need to demonstrate their value on the hiring line by actively augmenting and sourcing from their networks. \nFood for thought: Wouldn't a CEO think twice about removing a CIO who had single-handedly built the entire IT leadership team? \n\nDon't forget to floss.\n\nKristen Lamoreaux is an executive technology recruiter with the Jarvis Walker Group and founder of SIM Women, a North American networking organization for female CIOs and their direct reports.

If the DC Beer scene was an arms race, the 50 taps that are about to go live at Church Key in October should be enough to impress just about any would be beer drinker. They are planning to have a list of 555 beers to choose from. 500 in bottles–some vintages cellared from years passed– as well as 50 taps and 5 casks. Every beer will be served in its proper glassware and with 3 different temperature storage areas hopefully the proper coolness so that you can get the full experience that the brewer had intended when they were brewing the beer.
Today stirrings of life came from the Birch and Barley / Church Key crew as they launched thier websites (including a mailing list) and Greg Engert posted a lengthy blog on the various features and philosophy of the new venues.
Some key gleenings I saw were:
- The appearance of traditional cider on the menu–apparently the largest selection in the area will be available.
- The Cellar Stash list will provide rare, vintage and obscure beers for the real discerning beer hunter.
- They are really amped about getting you the beer at the right temperature. (Which is nice as its the worst when you get a Russian Imperial Stout in a frosty mug with ice on the sides. – true story.)
Although these webpages and the info they offer are still just a tease until its all open, we thought it'd be cool to check them out. In the meantime we are working on getting you lots of coverage of this long awaited beer establishment including an interview with Greg Engert and coverage of some of the opening events coming soon! Meanwhile nose around some of these pages:

Virtual Hosts Plugin for Mozilla Circus
Project description
About VHostino
vhostino is a virtual hosts manager for Mozilla Circus.
vhostino can be installed from pypi:
easy_install vhostino
pip install vhostino
should just work for most of the users
Using VHostino
Simply name your watcher and socket as the domain they have to serve and set vhostino.vhost = True to make them serve through virtual hosts on the vhostino port:
[plugin:vhostino] use = vhostino.VHostino host = 0.0.0.0 port = 8000 [watcher:www.mywebsite.com] cmd = chaussette --fd $(circus.sockets.www.mywebsite.com) myapp.application use_sockets = True vhostino.vhost = True uid = www-data gid = www-data [socket:www.mywebsite.com] host = 127.0.0.1 port = 8082
The myapp.application web application will be served as usual on 127.0.0.1:8082 but will be also available on port 8000 when the domain www.mywebsite.com is requested.
Default Virtual Host
By default VHostino will answer with a 404 error whenever a non configured host is requested, to serve a default virtual host simply set the vhostino.default_vhost = True option inside a watcher, whenever a virtual host is not available to serve the request it will be proxied to that process.
To perform virtual hosts resolution vhostino uses the watcher name, so make sure that your watchers are named like the domain they need to serve. In future versions aliases will also be added.
To match socket and watcher vhostino uses their name, so make sure that your socket share the same name, otherwise vhostino won't be able to detect the process port.

With the announcement this week that Quebec will soon begin promoting "Meatless Mondays," anti-meat activism got a significant boost. As usual, news stories about the campaign cited sketchy figures from a 2006 United Nations report claiming that livestock producers are responsible for 18 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. But these pendulums tend to swing back toward sanity eventually. Reporters today are covering new research from University of California-Davis expert Dr. Frank Mitloehner. His message: It's time to clear the air about meat and global warming.
Mitloehner's new research shows that while the U.N.'s report shows animal agriculture contributing 18 percent of greenhouse gases (GHGs), here in the U.S. the Environmental Protection Agency's domestic inventory shows all agriculture contributes 5.8 percent of GHGs. (And California is even lower than that average, with a 2005 state inventory finding the ag sector contributes just 5.4 percent of total GHGs.) As for the veggie-activist claim that livestock farmers are sowing climate doom, the EPA found that the livestock portion of the pie accounts for less than 3 percent of domestic emissions.
And the U.N.'s report did not make a compelling analysis, says Mitloehner, who calls it "a classical apples-and-oranges analogy that truly confused the issue." While it provided a detailed farm-to-fork analysis of livestock-related emissions, the U.N.'s analysis of transportation sources was nowhere near as thorough. This likely led to an overstatement of agriculture's impact on the climate.
So what's a better solution than calling for widespread tofu conversion? The answer: Helping underdeveloped countries to become more energy-efficient with their livestock production. This is especially important considering that global demand for meat is expected to double by 2050. (Sorry, PETA and HSUS.)
How efficient are U.S. livestock producers? As Mitloehner details elsewhere, America's beef production in 2008 needed 37 million fewer cattle to produce the same amount of meat as in 1975. This increase in efficiency (more meat per head of cattle) has led to less waste and required less feed. And a 2007 study published in the Journal of Animal Sciences found that modern dairy producers require significantly fewer resources than their counterparts six decades ago.
There's little doubt that the anti-meat Humane Society of the United States, the "Supreme Master" Ching Hai, Paul McCartney, and other vegetarian activists will keep pushing their "go veg" climate campaigns. But if they really care about global warming, they'd do more good by policing the supermarket for "Made in the USA" labels.

Child Custody Representation for Unmarried Parents in New York
Family law attorneys assert parental rights
Parenthood comes with rights and obligations, even when the parents are not married. If you are an unwed parent of either sex, you may be confused about your legal standing. If you want to assert your right to a meaningful relationship with your child, or the child's right to financial support from a biological parent, we can help. Bryan L. Salamone & Associates, P.C. is Long Island's largest and busiest law firm dedicated exclusively to family law and divorce. We have extensive experience in paternity, child custody and child support litigation, and we work tirelessly to deliver the best results possible.
How New York paternity law affects unwed couples
When a couple is married, there is a legal presumption that the husband is the father of all children born during the marriage. However, when a couple is not married, even if they cohabitate, there is no such presumption. An unmarried father must assert paternity by signing a voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity and filing it with the child's birth certificate, or petitioning the court to establish paternity, usually through a DNA test. A man who has established paternity is the legal father of the child and has the same rights and responsibilities he would have if he'd fathered the child while married to the mother.
A determination of paternity is necessary in various situations:
- A legal father wants visitation or custody of a child.
- An unwed mother wants child support payments from the father.
- An unwed mother wants to terminate the biological father's rights to clear the way for an adoption.
- A child wants the right to inherit from the father.
- An unwed mother wants information about the father's medical history that may be important to the child's health and welfare.
At Salamone & Associates, our attorneys fight for unmarried fathers' rights to child custody, and mothers' rights to adequate child support. Since New York's custody laws are gender neutral, a father's marital status should not prevent him from obtaining full custody if that is in the best interests of the child. Finally, even though same-sex marriage is now legal in New York, same-sex couples often have complex custody issues, especially when one is a biological parent and the other is not recognized as an adoptive parent.
Contact our experienced Long Island attorneys for your child custody issues.
Unmarried parents need knowledgeable attorneys who can give them accurate advice and take decisive steps to protect their rights. For child custody and all your contentious family law issues, you can trust Bryan L. Salamone & Associates, P.C. To schedule a free initial consultation, call 1.631.479.3839 or contact our office online.

Reported on 6/20/13 - (KCEN) -- A group of soldiers are preparing for their deployment to Egypt with riot training on post. They're planning ahead for violent protests or riots and the possibility of protecting the country's border with Israel
In a sign of the explosive volatility of the country's divisions, young protesters mainly from the surrounding neighborhood pelted the main headquarters of President Mohammed Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood with stones and firebombs, and at one point a fire erupted at the gates of the walled villa. During clashes, Brotherhood supporters barricaded inside opened fire on the attackers, and activists said at least five protesters were killed. Read more: www.foxnews.com...

For weeks, Morsi's supporters have depicted the planned protest as a plot by Mubarak loyalists. But their claims were undermined by the extent of Sunday's rallies. In Cairo and a string of cities in the Nile Delta and on the Mediterranean coast, the protests topped even the biggest protests of the 2011's 18-day uprising, including the day Mubarak quit, Feb. 11, when giant crowds marched on Ittihadiya.

Egyptian military gives 48 hour ultimatum to Brotherhood, political forces. The armed forces have announced that the military is giving all political forces 48 hours as a last chance to solve the ongoing problems, or else the armed forces will have to announce a new roadmap for the future, and will enforce certain measures with the help of all factions including the youth, without excluding anyone.
According to the witnesses, the Egyptian military has boosted deployment on the Gaza border by sending 30 tanks that are patrolling the area. "We've gotten used to seeing only armored vehicles, this is the first times we've seen tanks," one witness said. Source (Roi Kais)

It is the rapid increase in Viognier plantings in California and Australia that has helped to push the wine onto the world stage. Before 1990 there were hardly any vines in California - today there are around 800 hectares devoted to the vine. The first vines were introduced in the early 1980's at Calera, but since 1990 have been planted widely due to the massive demand from Americans. It has been termed a cult wine in the US and accordingly has attracted relatively high prices (Ł10-Ł20 a bottle) well exceeding the quality of some of the wines. The Californians have experimented with combining Viognier with Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Colombards - but you won't find much about those wines here as this site is dedicated to the purer Viogniers (although we have allowed some wines to creep in that have a small amount of non-viognier grape!)
California is not the only State showing an interest in Viognier. Washington State now has over 20 hectares planted and there are also plantings in Colorado, Georgia, New York State, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas and Virginia.
In Australia, it is probably the Yalumba Estate that is spearheading the growth and development of Viognier. There are over 200 hectares grown in South Australia, which is 70% of the total Australian planting. Quality varies from good to poor - a critical factor is still related to calculating the correct time of picking. Alcohol content of Australian wines tends to be high - 13%+.
Other parts of the world demonstrating an interest are Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and Japan. .... click here for more

When I came to Dr. Westbrook, I could barely get out of bed, walk or stand up for any length of time due to pain. After an evaluation and scheduled treatments, I now have my hip and back on the road to recovery. Best of all, I can play with my two boys again, pain-free.Matt, Marina
As a wellness client for 7 years, it is with great confidence that I recommend Dr. Westbrook. He is a supremely competent healthcare professional with a mission to improve the lives of his patients. As a healthy individual, I work with Dr. Westbrook monthly to maintain the excellent health I have always enjoyed. On those rare occasions when I have incurred injury, I have recovered quickly, thanks to his excellent care.Mary Jeanne, Seaside
I have experienced migraine headaches my whole life - and now I hardly ever have any problems with headaches. I am happier now that I have received help, and the results are great!Renee, Monterey
My visits have addressed some major concerns I had prior to coming to New Beginnings Health Care. My balance is better. I walk more erect. I hold my body with a greater strength than before. Generally, my entire bone structure feels a lot younger with more mobility. A wonderful way to correct bad posture habits and ease any difficulties one might be experiencing. Even bringing my 9-year-old dog in for a neck adjustment was more helpful than all the drugs the vet gave him! Thanks Dr. Westbrook!Debra, Marina
Chiropractic treatment has truly been a miracle in my life. After 7 years of chronic, daily, disabling pain, Chiropractic treatment took the pain away. I no longer suffer from depression, am working again in my chosen field, and can finally see a light at the end of a very long tunnel. I thank God every day that I listened to my husband when he encouraged me to 'Just give Chiropractic a try.Sueanne, Prunedale
It just keeps getting better with every visit. I came in because of vertigo symptoms and in a short time have noticed improvements in various areas (lower back, hip). Drs. Westbrook are extremely knowledgeable and compassionate, and have the utmost integrity.Michelle, Salinas
Regular visits have dramatically reduced my chronic lower back pain. The work I do includes constant movement, standing, bending, kneeling, squatting and moving heavy objects. Regular adjustments have made all of these easier, a direct benefit, and increased my overall comfort, flexibility and capability.Richard, Marina
I went to Dr. Westbrook with extreme pain in my lower back. I had never been to a Chiropractor before my visit with Dr. Westbrook. I did not notice the benefits of Chiropractic treatment right away, but after a while I began to feel stronger in my body and notice my back feeling more stable. The best way I can explain the difference is that before visiting Dr. Westbrook, I routinely had back pain that would limit me on a regular basis. Since seeing Dr. Westbrook on a regular basis for about two years now, I have not thrown my lower back out once. That's all the proof I need! No more back pain, no more pain pills, and I feel whole again.Frank, Marina
When I started seeing Dr. Westbrook you could barely touch my back and shoulder area, and my neck was even worse than my back. Now, I have full range of motion in my shoulder and neck. You can touch mewithout causing severe pain - if any pain at all. Dr. Westbrook has gotten rid of my migraine headaches through adjustments and soft tissue manipulation.Renee, Seaside

Goal: $135,000 • Funded: $20,000
(2007) To create a portrait of the Vidyadhara, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche that reflects his unique genius and the major role he played in bringing Tibetan Buddhist teachings to the West.
The Trust's grant of $20,000 covers the remaining production costs. An additional $114,950 is needed for post-production editing, sound design, music and music rights, graphics and lab work. The Shambhala community is invited to contribute to help complete this project!
This feature-length documentary film on the life and work of Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche has been in the making for several years and is now at a pivotal stage of development. The basic aspiration is to create a portrait of the Vidyadhara that reflects his unique genius and the major role he played in bringing Tibetan Buddhist teachings to the west. This portrait will include a look at his life in Tibet, an exploration of his "crazy wisdom†teaching approach, his vision of creating an enlightened society through the Shambhala teachings and Dharma Art, and his own unwavering commitment to being a full human being with a completely open heart and mind. The film is intended for world-wide distribution and community use.

The Shoe Flexion Test checks flexibility of the front of the shoe. You are testing whether the shoe bends correctly or in the wrong place. As you walk or run, you need to bend your foot in the metatarsal or ball of the foot area as the heel lifts off the ground. This easy motion is called propulsion or push-off. It should occur only at the right place or injuries may occur. Grab the shoe again (like the post of Shoe Torsion Test) firmly at the heel. Then, grab the toe area and simulate toe bend by bending the toes upwards. The second photo demonstrates the shoe easily bending, not at the ball of the foot, but at the arch. This is how injuries to the arch, or plantar fascia, can occur. The shoe actually forces the foot to bend at the wrong place. Ouch!!! Combine the Shoe Flexion Test with the Shoe Torsion Test with Heel Verticality Test from other posts and you are beginning to have a clear understanding on how evaluate the safety of the shoes you buy. Good Luck!
Welcome to the Podiatry Blog of Dr Richard Blake of San Francisco. I hope the pages can help you learn about caring for foot injuries, or help you with your own injury.

The cloud offers transformative benefits—but getting there without interrupting key workflows, risking vital data, or dealing with costly delays remains a substantial technology management challenge. Meeting this challenge requires a rapid scale-up of skilled technical resources with experience overseeing enterprise-scale cloud migrations.
These resources, however, are often not cost-effective for firms that won't need the same scale of cloud support after the migration is complete. Once assembled, this team faces a truly dizzying array of vendors and service options.

Ezekiel 22:17-23:49; 2 Kings 24:20-25:2; Jeremiah 52:3-5; Jeremiah 39:1; Ezekiel 24:1-14
~ Click here to read today's Scripture on Bible Gateway ~
~ Listen to today's Scripture with The ESV Bible ~
Once again in verse 30 of chapter 22 of Ezekiel we see God's compassion and God seeking an opportunity to stop the coming judgment: "I looked for someone who might rebuild the wall of righteousness that guards the land. I searched for someone to stand in the gap in the wall so I wouldn't have to destroy the land, but I found no one." No one was found... This verse makes me think about this - sometimes I think we tell ourselves, "What difference does it make? What difference does it make if I'm good or bad? What difference does it make if I serve and love others in need?" Check out verse 30 above again. Think one person could have made a difference then? What about now? Will you make a difference today? Will you stand in the gap?
Ezekiel chapter 23 is interesting in its use of prostitution and lust as the metaphors for Israel's political alliances with neighboring lands. My thoughts here are that we live in a "sexualized" world in so many ways today - and perhaps things weren't so different back then. Sex is obviously something that was created as a good by God - but can so quickly and easily be twisted into something that is not good. Sex is good in the right context of marriage. Detrimental in the wrong. It seems to me that lust and the selling of sex was as prevalent back in Ezekiel's today as it is in ours. To which we may need to remember well Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 6:18 - "Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body." And of course James 4:7 - "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." Is there an area of our lives related to sex that you must flee from? Will you flee?
Worship Video: Today's reading in Ezekiel reminded me of Israel Houghton's song "Friend of God" and that it seemed like only Ezekiel could sing this song during these days... Let us pray we are friends with God today!

Single Payer Demonstration Project
The State of New York tested the feasibility of a radical new administrative structure for health care financing--the Single Payer Authority concept--through a demonstration designed to reduce inefficiencies and complexities involved with claims processing, billing, and payment systems. This project tested the practicability of implementing the following changes in Northeastern New York first for hospitals and free standing clinics and later for physicians: (1) electronic communications linkages among all involved parties; (2) integrated claims development and automated claims processing systems; (3) on-line eligibility verification and utilization controls; (4) uniform insurance protocols and coordination of benefits; and (5) electronic cash flow management.

This paragraph is a conversation from the above video
Carpet Restretch
There is a line down here. It's actually a bump in the carpet. Can you see it? When I stretch the carpet here you still might be able to see this area. It may look like a raise here. That's just because the carpet has been left this way too long with a roll in the carpet. Also over here, they just put one tax strip in. I am going to put to two tack strips in. Also with this area there is another problem challenge. There are water pipes in the floor. And so I have to make sure that I don't nail into those water pipes. They nailed into the floor and they took a chance with the water pipes. Now over here you can see where I am putting double tack strip down to make sure that it holds. That is so it will be stretched once and once only. And the carpet will never have to be stretched again. I will show you when I'm all done. You see right down here. There is a little bit of a shadow here. But the carpet is all flat. It is tight as a drum. I got that carpet stretched all the way down to the wall. The carpet in the whole room is tight right? And I got a happy customer?
CUSTOMER: Happy customer. Now I am ready to put the whole room back together.
And so do I have a happy customer?
Customer: You have a very happy customer. It was a big carpet bump but now the carpet is all flat. The carpet looks great. I am pleased. Thank you.

Stink and the
Freaky Frog Freakout
Croak! Squeenk! Ribbet! After a close encounter with a mutant amphibian makes him freaky for frogs, water-shy Stink becomes a swimming success.
Stink may be super smart, and Stink may be uber clever, but he's been in the Polliwog swim class frog-ever and he still can't bear to put his face in the water. Why would he want a geyser up his nose, on purpose? But then something weird happens: Stink starts to see frogs everywhere - in the locker room, in his boot, in the bathtub. And when a freaky blue frog licks his arm, his froggy senses start tingling! He has an urge to slurp up raisins (that look like flies). He can't wait to play in the rain and mud. He's a wiz at identifying frog calls. And he has become very interested in the local frog population. Could it be that Stink is turning into . . . the amazing Stink-Frog, fighter of slime? Pree-eep! Craw-awk!

I think this is my first beer that "might have been"...
Saison ales are brilliant beers. Bright, light, more than a small hint of fruit. Perfect for drinking on a warm or hot spring or summer day. Amazingly, Saison yeasts love ferment at very hot temperatures.
Unfortunately, this particular brew fermented in my closet during an unseasonably cold couple of weeks in Austin. The result certainly wasn't bad, per se, but I just can't help but wonder what might have been, had this beer fermented at 80F or so (on the left below).
This was the first beer I brewed on a week night. I worked from home that day, which enabled me to be home and ready to brew by 5:30pm. I typically allow 5 hours for a brew night, so this would ensure that I finish by 10:30pm.
Now, remarkably, we were hosting Josh and Steph, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, for their first trip back to Austin since moving to New Orleans. Brewing is a family event around here.
It was beautiful, wonderful night :-)
The original gravity checked in at 1.059 (target: 1.057). The final gravity was right at 1.010 (target 1.015). The color has a classic Saison cloud, with plenty of coriander and lemon on the nose, and even more on the palate.
In retrospect, I've named this beer the "Saucy Saison" in honor of Ubuntu's new 13.10 mascot, the Saucy Salamander, and donated a growler to some good friends in the Ubuntu world a bit earlier tonight :-)

Welcome to Bustle's Abortion AMA column, where reproductive rights advocate and Romper editor Danielle Campoamor will speak to experts and medical professionals to answer people's questions about abortion in a way that is educational, unvarnished, and judgement free. Ask us anything.
To be perfectly honest, sex was the absolute last thing on my mind after I had my abortion. There's of course no right or wrong way to feel on this front, but in my case, I was wonderfully content to focus on the complimentary juice box and Saltines I was handed in the recovery room at my local Planned Parenthood. The question "can I have sex after I've had an abortion?" was way the hell behind "can I thank my doctor just one more time?" and "what should I marathon-watch while I recover?" Still, I paid attention when my physician carefully went over the post-op instructions, which included information on when it would be physically safe for me to resume sexual activity.
Dr. Colleen Denny, M.D., a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at NYU Langone Health, tells Bustle that patients should wait about two weeks before inserting anything into the vagina post-abortion. "That means not having vaginal sex but also not using tampons or douching or cleaning inside the vagina," she says. "That doesn't rule out things like oral sex or other forms of non-vaginal sex in any way."
After any procedure that opens your cervix, including giving birth, a patient is more vulnerable to infection, and the two-week waiting period helps minimize the chances of a foreign body causing a post-abortion complication. "When we do a surgical abortion, we use instruments that are small and thin to empty out the uterus and empty out the pregnancy, and we can only put those instruments in if we do a little bit of dilation of the cervix," Denny explains. Normally, the cervix is closed, which keeps anything in the vagina from making its way to the uterus, fallopian tubes, or higher into the body. "The cervix naturally closes by itself in the week or two after the abortion is done, so there's nothing the patients have to do, except wait."
After waiting two weeks, you should be totally fine to go back to your everyday life, including your sex life, assuming you don't have any complications. A 2015 study published in Obstetrics & Gynecology found that only 2% of abortions resulted in major complications six weeks after the procedure. But anyone is advised to hold off on intercourse when a pregnancy ends, whether it ends with birth or an abortion. "We tell people who've had a full-term delivery do the same thing," Denny says. (Interesting fact: abortion involves many fewer risks than giving birth. "An abortion is one of the safest surgical procedures you can possibly undergo, and it's certainly safer than having a full-term pregnancy by orders of magnitude," Denny says.) Denny notes that after giving birth, people are encouraged to wait six weeks before putting something into their vagina, since the cervix opens a full 10 centimeters (far more than in a surgical abortion) during childbirth. Whether you have an abortion or give birth, you should give your body time to recuperate. "That is not different, no matter how the pregnancy ends," Denny says.
For people who are receiving a medical abortion, you may not have to wait as long before resuming intercourse — your doctor will be able to advise you on the exact amount of time.
However, even if you are physically ready to have sex, your emotions might not be there quite yet. While I was waiting for my abortion procedure, I told myself I might never have sex again. I was convinced my birth control would fail, a condom would break, or some other situation would occur the next time I had sex and I would be right back in my bathroom, holding an unwanted positive pregnancy test in my hand. Sex? In that moment, I was perfectly fine going the rest of my life without it. Thankfully, Denny has some advice for that, too.
READ MORE: How Do I Tell My Partner I Want An Abortion?
"We try to counsel all of our patients who've had an unwanted pregnancy about how they can prevent this going forward," she says. "There are a lot of good studies out there that show — whether or not you just had an abortion, or whether or not you're just trying to avoid pregnancy — having a good form of birth control decreases your anxiety about sex, because you realize you're not as worried about getting pregnant unintentionally." That's why Denny counsels her patients — ideally directly after their abortion procedures but if not, soon after — on how to choose the right birth control for them.
Dr. Wing Kay Fok, M.D., an OB-GYN and fellow with Physicians of Reproductive Health, a group of doctors who advocate for reproductive rights, says that it can be reassuring to know that their long-term fertility isn't impacted as a result of having an abortion. "Women start ovulating as early as 10 days after having an abortion, so if you don't want to be pregnant, it's very important to plan on using reliable contraception soon after," she says.
When or if you do have sex post-abortion, Denny says you shouldn't notice or feel a change. "We don't expect any sort of complication or difference in the sensation or enjoyment of sex after those two weeks," she tells Bustle. "People should not have pain and should not have really any experiences that are very different. If they do have pain, they should see a doctor to make sure they're OK."
I can't recall how much time passed between my abortion and the next time I had sex, but I can tell you this: I had an IUD in place, inserted right after I had my abortion, and I was no longer afraid of experiencing another unplanned pregnancy. And to be perfectly honest (again), that carefree sex was mind-blowing.
