It's the little touches that show there's a decent bartender in charge at Immertreu, from the swizzlestick on the bar-top to the silver chalices some drinks are served in, or the heavy duty cigar lighter that bartender Ricardo Albrecht wields (smoking is legal in Berlin). But more than that, it's the polished technique you witness as the award-winning bartender wields his tools, expertly stirring and shaking drinks: Ricardo is widely held to be one of the brightest talents on the German scene.
Immertreu has only been open for two weeks. Buzz for entry and you'll be admitted into a candlelit lounge swathed in red curtains and leather tub chairs. Ahead lies a long, long, wooden-topped bar stretching in front of you, the contemporary space moodily lit, with a quietly laid-back atmosphere rather than being snootily fashionable, as such a space could easily be.
Ricardo was apologetic for his opening one-sheet cocktail menu, but it's not exactly required as he's happy for you to go off piste, turning out memorable classics, twists and bespoke concoctions. Immertreu translates as 'ever faithful', and we could definitely find ourselves becoming regulars here. Well, if we lived in Berlin, that is.

Time to add another lick lesson to the series. This time around, our focus is on this funky fingerstyle bass groove, which is in the key of Dm or D7, using mostly the D minor Dorian scale with chromatic connecting notes.
This lick also relies heavily on open strings, for fast note doubling (D on open string to D on A string 5th fret).
Follow along with the video (including a part where I play it at slow tempos) and the transcription PDF (standard notation and tab).
For the gear heads, I'm playing a '80s Yamaha BB3000A bass.

I began taking oboe lessons at the age of 8 and have continued with the instrument through a Music Performance degree at Chapman University and am currently completing my Masters degree in Oboe Performance and the University of Southern California. As an oboe teacher, I find it equally important for my students to strengthen their technique and their musicality. To become a strong oboist, it is important to not only play the music properly, but to put a little bit of yourself into every piece you play. I also specialize in reed-making, and love helping students with their reeds, as well as sell reeds to young oboists.

Over the past century, the Government Actuary's
Department has acquired a reputation for professionalism, independence
and objectivity. It is essential that its independent status should
be preserved.
The annual uprating reports would be more useful
if they were published at the time of the uprating statement in
November, rather than when the uprating orders are laid in January.
It would be even more useful if the Government
Actuary were asked to report on the state of the National Insurance
Fund in advance of the uprating statement.
The DSS should be asked to report on the feasibility
of reducing the interval between announcement and implementation
of the uprating, thus allowing the Government Actuary's report
to be published nearer to the uprating date.
The annual uprating reports should include medium-term
The main functions of the Government Actuary's
Department (GAD) have always been in the field of social security.
Its history goes back to the beginnings of the British social
security system in the early years of the last century. Over that
period it has acquired a reputation for professionalism, independence
and objectivity. Its work and the published reports based on it
are highly respected both by other Government Departments and
by the wide range of outside bodies with an interest in social
security and the various types of non-state pension schemes.
The GAD's reports are virtually the only source
of information on the future prospects of the National Insurance
Fund. These reports include, on a regular basis, a quinquennial
report on the Fund's long-term prospects and reports on the shorter-term
financial implications of the annual benefit upratings and of
other proposed changes in the structure of national insurance
benefits. The GAD may also be asked to produce special reports
on particular aspects of the benefit system, a notable recent
example being the report required by section 36 of the Child Support,
Pensions and Social Security Act 2000 on the cost of uprating
the basic state pension in line with earnings.
In general, and increasingly so in recent years,
Government statistics are viewed with a degree of suspicion, in
the belief that "statistics can prove anything" and
that they are subject to a process of selection before publication.
No such suspicion attaches to the GAD's reports which are generally
accepted as presenting an unbiased view. This is particularly
important where, as has happened increasingly over the past 25
years, the GAD is asked to advise on the terms of contracting
out of the state pension schemeadvice which forms the basis
of the financial relationship between the state and private pension
In recent years, the Government Actuary's reports
have played an important role in revealing the massive surpluses
in the National Insurance Fund. The Fund theoretically operates
on a pay-as-you-go basis, with income and expenditure roughly
in balance year by year. It carries a working balance which, the
Government Actuary recommends, should be at least one-sixth of
annual benefit expenditure. Apart from this working balance, contributors
are entitled to assume that the contributions they pay will be
used to meet the current cost of benefits. The Treasury, however,
appears to regard the Fund as something of an irrelevance. NI
contributions are seen as a tax like any other, whose relationship
to benefit expenditure is little more than a historical accident.
Thus, the Fund has built up a large surplus which bears no relation
to its current needs, and this process is expected to continue
for some years ahead. The Government Actuary's reports have provided
regular information on this subject, which is highly relevant
to the public debate on state pensions policy.
A major factor in the GAD's unique reputation
and the confidence reposed in it is the fact that it is a separate
Government Department headed by highly respected professionals.
The Government Actuary sets his own standards and is not subject
to the supervision of Ministers or senior civil servants. It is
essential that this independent status should be preserved. Any
suspicion that the GAD was taking orders from the Treasury or
the Department of Social Security would quickly and permanently
undermine it. The point is well illustrated by recent events relating
to the Government Actuary's report under section 36 of the Child
Support, Pensions and Social Security Act 2000, of which an account
is given in the annex to this submission.
Under the Social Security Administration Act
1992, the annual draft orders setting out the National Insurance
contribution and benefit rates for the ensuing year must be accompanied
by a report by the Government Actuary on the effect of the proposals
on the National Insurance Fund. The usual course of events is
that the contribution and benefit rates for the following April
are announced in November, following publication of the September
price index figures; but the draft orders, together with the Government
Actuary's report, are not laid before Parliament until January.
By then, there is no possibility of the report having any effect
on the uprating: the orders are nearly always approved without
a division (the Liberal Democrats' decision to vote against last
year's uprating is the only exception of which we are aware).
The uprating reports would be more useful if
they were published at the time of the uprating statement in November,
rather than when the uprating orders are laid in January. This
is what, in effect, occurred in November 2000, when the Actuary's
report under section 36 of the Child Support, Pensions and Social
Security Act 2000 was published on 9 November in the circumstances
explained in the annex below. The Administration Act could be
amended to enable the same procedure to be followed in future
It would be even more useful if information
on the outlook for the National Insurance Fund for the following
year were available to the public and to Parliament in advance
of the uprating statement. The Government Actuary could be asked
to submit an annual report on the state of the Fund, taking into
account existing legislation and any changes which were known
to be under consideration, and including illustrations of ways
in which any unneeded surplus might be used or a deficit avoided.
This would enable public debate to take place before decisions
were announced.
Consideration should also be given to the timing
of the uprating statement itself. The interval between the statement
and the uprating is five months. While this might have been necessary
in the days when pension order books were produced by hand, it
cannot be necessary in modern conditions (in the case of the Minimum
Income Guarantee, which is now normally uprated in line with average
earnings, it leads to the absurd result that the April uprating
is based on the average annual rate of increase in earnings recorded
in the three months up to the previous July). The DSS should be
asked for a report on the feasibility of reducing the interval
between announcement and implementation of the uprating, thus
allowing the Government Actuary's report to be published nearer
to the uprating date. Comparison with the uprating timetable in
other countries could be enlightening.
The value of the uprating reports could also
be increased if they included medium-term projections, instead
of showing the effect of the uprating for the following year only.
The Government's decision on each annual uprating must take account
of its likely financial consequences for at least the next five
years, based on the GAD's advice, and there is no reason why that
advice should not be published. It is true that long-term estimates
are given in the GAD's quinquennial reviews, but these are based
on ten-year intervals. For example, the quinquennial report published
in July 1999 gives figures for 2000-01, 2010-11, 2020-21, 2030-31
and so on, but not for individual years between 2000-01 and 2010-11.

IHTM: I Tried a Skincare Product That Jacked Up My Skin Barrier So Here's How I Handled It
I basically called my mom for help. Except when I say mom, I mean an esthetician.
My idea of beauty is simple: be
healthy, and beauty is pretty much taken care of. That starts with lots of water, a good diet,
exercise, laughing a bunch, avoiding things that I know mess up my face, and
getting a solid eight every night. Hours of sleep, you guys. Heavens!
Some of the things I avoid for the
sake of my skin are coffee and booze. I can't explain it, but whenever I drink
coffee or alcohol, my skin freaks out. I get tiny, bumpy patches all over my
forehead and chin instantaneously. No
coffee, no booze, and I have no issues. I love coffee, and I still drink it on
occasion, but I switched to Earl Grey indefinitely.
So when 100% Pure sent me their Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream, I was curious if it would freak my skin out the way its beverage counterpart does.
Caffeine is popular in cosmetics because it's
readily absorbed by the skin and causes temporary vasoconstriction in areas.
This is supposed to firm the skin around the eye, reducing puffiness and constricting
the blood vessels that show through as under-eye shadows. Steve Buscemi is a
great actor, but he is why this product exists.
The eye cream is 100% vegan, and
the main ingredients are aloe juice, rosewater, rose hip oil and green coffee
extract. As someone who had eye pouches the moment I turned 26, I am pretty
excited to see if it actually works, but since I've been taken by the Snake Oil
before, I'm pretty skeptical.
Last night, I only got five hours of
sleep; partially because Law & Order is infinite and I have no
self-control, and also because every night there's a flipping cat parade on my
face. I know I don't pet you enough, but 3am is NOT THE TIME, NIPSEY.
Well, the proof is in the pudding.
I mean eye cream.
First of all, it smells like ice cream, and
has a creamy texture that absorbs fast and isn't so greasy that I have to blot it
before putting on makeup. I smoothed some around my eyes using my ring finger,
waited about 20 minutes, and snapped another photo.
I felt like I could FEEL my
upper-eye puffiness deflate. It usually takes a few hours, at least, to beat the
wretchedness of eye puffiness in the morning, and I feel like it somehow
plumped or just tightened up the area under my eyes as well. I didn't feel like
I was holding the weight of my eyebrows on my lids anymore, so I think it
I think I'm hooked--especially for
nights when I wish I'd slept more but want to look like I'm extra-sharp. Can
you tell a difference? Am I just imagining it?

Through April 15th, the Museum of the City of New York is exhibiting The Greatest Grid: The Masterplan of Manhattan.
DioGrid is a project for the competition The Greatest Grid organized by The Architectural League of New York and Museum of the City of New York in honor of the 200th anniversary of the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 that transformed New York City into the city of endless streets and avenues we know it today, and speculations as to what the next 200 years will mean for the city. The project DioGrid was chosen to partisipate in the exhibition:
Many people think that the only direction for the development of the modern world is for it to become even more complicated, difficult and confusing. I think that only the simplification, the slowing of pace and a return to the human scale are the way to a harmonious life. New York is probably the most dynamically developed city. Huge amounts of capital and various cultural layers have passed through it, therefore it could lead the change.
The urban grid has two basic elements – the buildings and public space between them. The buildings are privately property, they are massive, and therefore they cannot be easily altered. The orthogonal street system is used successfully for thousands of years and is based on the linearity of the streets. The size of the margins between the streets is the result of the functional size of the building rather than the need for automobile streets.
At the dawn of the industrial revolution, the streets were a shared space, which incorporated with equal rights pedestrians, horses and the first cars.
At one point the cars become more powerful, more dangerous and numerous. Pedestrians retreated and all streets became automobile streets. The junctions are too many and require complex regulation and monitoring. The Industrial Revolution was based on a sterile pursuit of economic growth rather than of human values.
The car culture was born. People gradually became addicted to cars, encapsulated themselves, became antisocial and radically changed their lifestyle (home-car-office-shopping centre-car-home). The car became an extension of our body, even a sign of status. It was important to be fast, not be happy. Do we manage to experience more things during one life when we are in a hurry or does life just go by faster?
I think it is time to gradually seek new models for our public spaces. Technologies advance at a rapid rate, while the car and car traffic are frozen in the same place for many years. Every day there is a huge quantity of fuel burned to move millions of tonnes of iron, which in most cases is not necessary.
Diogrid is a proposal for a simple human parallel social and transport infrastructure.
What would happen if we evenly take away part of the automotive grid and put in its place a new parallel grid, more human and fun? In the new grid there would circulate pedestrians, cyclists and people with ultra-light electric individual mobility vehicles independent of the automotive grid. What would happen if the state allowed public space in those areas to be used by the private sector? Investors would be able to use the underground level in accordance with specific rules for parking lots, shopping centres or warehouses and would be required to manage public spaces at ground level. The lanes would be compact, and at the intersection points there would be light bridges and all of this would be in a high percentage of green area.
Two grids, two ways of life. The choice is yours…

You get it. Water is good. Water cleans things. Water refreshes us. Hydrates us. Water makes life possible. Water is good. You get it.
You get it. Water is good. Water is for baptism. Water is used by the Holy Spirit to clean our spirits. Water from Christ will banish our thirst. Water is good. You get it.
But water can be easily ruined. It is hard (impossible) to clean water mixed with toxic chemicals. Some water used for cleaning causes more harm than good.
Water can be scarce. Many people travel long distances to bring a single jug of water to their home, to their families. Forests burn because the branches of their trees thirst for water.
Water is precious.
Humanity is entrusted to care for its great gift.
Living Water is precious.
Christians are entrusted to share its great gift.

We're continuing our investigative news series on what file-sharing studies really say. Today, we continue this series with a study that says that organizations like the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) is a suppresses innovation.
The study is entitled "How industry associations suppress threatening innovation: the case of
the US recording industry" and was published in 2011 in the journal Technology Analysis & Strategic Management.
The abstract certainly doesn't mince words here:
This research examines how associations influence industry conditions in order to further member interests. We demonstrate that, when threatened by technological change, associations will attempt to shape industry conditions in order to suppress the adoption of threatening practices or policies. We propose that they do so by engaging in a multidimensional framework of influence directed towards public institutions. Their actions include agenda setting and influencing public policy to further member interests. Our framework is illustrated with actions taken in the USA by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in response to peer-to-peer file sharing technology and its use in the transfer of copyrighted music files.
Normally, I would be able to comment on something with an observation, but I just can't add to that because it so impressively sums up the relationship between the RIAA and technology of today.
When the paper describes the RIAA and p2p file-sharing technology, the paper makes the following comments:
The RIAA provides an excellent example of how an association strives to deal with industry change. We examine the RIAA's actions in the USA.
It has always sought to preserve the intellectual property rights of the record industry. However, with changes in existing technology and the introduction of a wide range of new technologies such as peer-to-peer networking, this traditional concern has become a priority issue (RIAA 2009).
Peer-to-peer technology allows users to bypass Internet servers in order to access files held by another computer. The key innovation that facilitates the file sharing practices the RIAA opposes is the MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) file.
As a response to the continued threat of peer-to-peer technology, the RIAA implemented a
number of actions that serve as an effective illustration of our proposed framework of association action in response to threats. As we will illustrate below, the RIAA's actions suggest that specific strategies are implemented in the public, judicial and policy contexts. Moreover, these strategies are dynamic and simultaneous.
Of course, actions to fight innovation was not exclusive to the United States. As we've seen with the Anti-Counterfeiting trade Agreement (ACTA), the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and the hugely discredited USTR Special 301 Report, pushing a copyright agenda that only reflects the interests of major corporate entertainment companies represented through associations like the RIAA and MPAA is also hitting the world stage far beyond the US borders in so many big and profound and potentially damaging ways.
The paper goes on to document the RIAA education campaigns, alliances with the Department of Justice (DOJ), litigation activities and heavy lobbying with lawmakers. Towards the end of the paper, the authors make the following comments:
The extent to which associations can successfully protect the interests of their members through political action in the long run is another potential area for future inquiry. While there have been decreases in the number of illegal downloads since the implementation of the RIAA's strategy, record sales continue to decline (Bhattacharjee et al. 2007). Moreover, research on the topic has shown that technological change is difficult, if not impossible to resist. Firms that have attempted to block threatening innovations have usually failed in such endeavours (Hargadon and Douglas 2001; Suarez and Utterback 1995). Moreover, research has shown that such external threats can be transformational, despite the resistance of incumbent firms (Leblebici et al. 1991). Whether associations can be more successful remains to be seen.
In short, change in the industry is inevitable. Interestingly enough, the paper says that both music sales AND unauthorized downloading have both been in decline. Industries that resist change typically end up failing to do so and when industries do change, it changes the industry (note the lack of any insinuation that technology destroys the industry).
I'd say, based on this study alone, claims that the RIAA always embraces change, technology and innovation are completely unfounded. I would say that resistance to change as is the case between the RIAA and file-sharing have a damaging effect on society as a whole as well given what the organization has done over the years.

SOURCE: Casella Waste Systems
September 10, 2012 16:00 ET
UNITY, ME--(Marketwire - Sep 10, 2012) - Casella Waste Systems celebrated a quarter-century of organics recycling last week at an open house for its customers and supporters at its Hawk Ridge Farm compost facility, and announced that its New England Organics business will be renamed Casella Organics, reflecting the company's commitment to meeting a growing demand among its customers for organics solutions.
"We believe the organics portion of the waste stream represents the next big mainstream resource renewal and recycling opportunity," John Casella, CEO of Casella Waste Systems, said. "It is a belief and an expertise that we want to offer all our customers, and bringing the business under the Casella flag with our other resource renewal services is a reflection of how important we believe our Organics team is.
"Along with Organics, we are investing in the people, technology, and infrastructure to provide innovative solutions to customers across the Northeast who share our commitment to recycling and recovering more of the valuable resources available in the waste stream," Casella said.
At the open house, Casella unveiled the new name Casella Organics which will replace the New England Organics name across the company's footprint. "Although the name is new, our commitment to high quality customer service and the highest and best use of resources will not change," Casella said. "The more than 50 people who make up Casella Organics will continue to lead and run the company out of their offices in Presque Isle, Unity, and Portland, Me; Concord, NH; and Clifton Park, NY."
Founded in Maine as Resource Conservation Services in 1983 and later named BFI Organics, Casella purchased the business in 2000 and at that time adopted the name "New England Organics." Over the years, the scope of the company's business has grown to include a full service set of solutions for municipal, industrial, and institutional generators of ash, biosolids, compost, paper making byproducts, and other organic and mineral residuals.
In all, the group manages upwards of 700,000 tons per year of materials and provides products to nearly 1,000 customers throughout the northeast. The company was a pioneer in resource reuse, developing beneficial use applications for many of these materials in agriculture, horticulture, landscape, landfill closure, land reclamation and contaminated site remediation projects. This philosophy revolutionized the industry by creating value for materials once only thought of as waste and destined for landfills. Building upon this commitment to finding a higher and better use for residuals or "resource optimization"; their earthlife® brand of soil products now includes over 40 types of liming agents, soil amendments, fertilizers, mulches, and specialty blends that have been used throughout the Northeast for over 25 years -- increasing crop yields, conserving native soils, and saving farmers and local governments money.
Optimistic about the future and the possibility of recovering even more organics from the waste stream, the company has increased its focus on food residuals and byproducts as exemplified by its successful joint venture with AGreen Energy, LLC. This partnership implements anaerobic digestion technology to generate renewable power and create fertilizer from manure and food wastes on the Jordan Dairy Farm in Rutland, MA.
According to John Casella, Casella Organics plans to continue to develop innovative solutions for organics and mineral recycling, including organics recycling facilities, as well as increased service offerings across the entire Casella footprint.

The institute is engaged in imparting training to the senior and middle level officers from various line departments of State Governments, Co-operatives, Boards, and Entrepreneurs etc. The training programmes are organized to facilitate acquisition of knowledge, development of skills and competencies in the field of agricultural marketing. The training programmes are delivered as Core Programmes, Awareness Programmes, Workshops, and Exhibition for different stakeholders.
During 2009-10, the institute has conducted 31 core training programmes of 3 to 7 days and 21 Farmers Awareness Programmes on Agricultural Marketing. Of the total core training programmes, 5 programmes were conducted in North-Eastern states. Core training programmes have been conducted in different streams of agricultural marketing like, project management and marketing of horticultural produce, Agricultural marketing management, agricultural marketing reforms, Post harvest management and marketing of horticultural produce, Food safety and quality management during post harvest operations, Geo spatial technology for agribusiness management, New dimensions of agricultural marketing, Quality management in agri food sector, training of trainers on commodity futures, Marketing of medicinal and aromatic plants, Risk management in agricultural sector, Agricultural marketing extension, Risk management and modern marketing practices, Post harvest and cool chain management, Role of IT in agricultural marketing, Contract farming, etc.
The participants in these programmes were officers of different line departments like Agriculture, Horticulture, Agricultural Marketing/ State Agricultural Marketing Boards, voluntary organizations, etc. The participants fro different states such as Assam, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan Maharashtra, Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Uttarakhand, Manipur and Tripura have participated I the training programmes conducted by NIAM.
To impart awareness on agricultural marketing among farmers, 21 Farmers Awareness Programmes have been conducted in different states. The subjects like, reforms in agricultural marketing, post-harvest management of agricultural/ horticultural produce, different schemes in agricultural marketing, accessing and using market information, improved marketing practices of agricultural produce, etc. were covered in FAPs to make farmers aware of modern agricultural marketing practices and take informed decision. The FAPs were conducted in Imphal, Assam, Rajasthan, Orissa, Haryana, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Nagaland, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.
Farmers Awareness Programmes on Commodity futures were conducted during 2009-10. The primary rle of commodity futures trading is price discovery, price risk management and spot price stabilization. Price discovery and dissemination process strengthened in the country after wide start of futures in agricultural commodities. Futures price in an indicator of likely spot price on particular future point of time and this indicator can be used effectively by farmers in production and market planning for their commodities produced . It is useful to producer because he can get an idea of the price likely to prevail at a future point of time and therefore can decide between various competing commodities, the best that suits him. Farmers, for instance, can get assured prices, thereby enabling them to decide on the crop that they want to grow. Since there is transparency in prices, the framer can decide when and were to sell, so as to maximize his earnings.
Farmers of the country hardly know about the role, benefits and use of commodity futures/ futures price in their farming business. Thus creating awareness among farmers of the country regarding this useful market instrument was a challenging task. National Institute of Agricultural Marketing, Jaipur took the challenge with support and guidance from Forward Markets Commission, Mumbai, NIAM conducted 100 Farmers Awareness Programmes in different districts of 20 states with the help of networking institutes, Before conducting farmer awareness programmes, the faculty of networking institutes was trained as master trainers at NIAM. The FAPs were organized in Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Haryana, Uttarkahand, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Orissa, Karnanataka, Weat Bengal, Mizoram, Tripura, Sikkima, Nagaland, Assam, and Manipur.

On November 20, 2012, the Saskatchewan Party government unveiled sweeping changes to the provincial liquor laws and regulations.[i] [Read information about the 70 changes here.] They will come into effect in the spring of 2013.
Of great concern for rural hoteliers is the new regulation doing away with restrictions requiring drinking establishments to also provide hotel rooms, brew pubs or nightly entertainment in order to qualify for a liquor license. In addition, other businesses like restaurants can now operate off-sale outlets. In the words of Murray Mandryk, columnist for the Regina Leader-Post, "We're finally dispensing with the quaint prairie notion that only rural hotels with rooms (regardless of how dilapidated) should be allowed to sell off-sale."[ii] Nevertheless, these changes have the potential to cause the demise of small-town Saskatchewan hotels – businesses critical to many rural communities.
The long list of changes also includes allowing "strip-tease performances and wet clothing contests in adult-only liquor-permitted premises," although full frontal nudity will continue to be prohibited. It remains to be seen (no pun intended), but perhaps rural hotel owners will embrace this once-banned entertainment offering as a new way to generate revenue.

President Trump Threatens America's Shores
Last week, the Trump Administration pushed its careless agenda to threaten America's shores with risky offshore drilling despite overwhelming opposition from coastal Republicans and Democrats alike. The announcement came in the form of a "Request for Information," which kickstarts the process of the Administration offering leases for offshore areas around the country to companies to use for oil and gas development. This move is an affront to the thousands of businesses, 125 local governments, and citizens who have stood up to reject offshore drilling in favor of our coastal economy and quality of life. While the tenant of the White House has changed in the past year, the facts that make offshore drilling a bad deal for the American public have not.

For the crust: All ingredients should be cold. Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add shortening and butter. Using a pastry blender cut in the shortening and butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Drop by drop, add cold water. Mix in with the fingertips, not with the hands as the palms will warm the dough. Continue mixing water in until the dough begins to hold together without being sticky but not crumbly. Place dough in plastic wrap. Fold over plastic wrap and press down to form a disk. This will make rolling out easier after chilling. Finish wrapping in plastic and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Lightly spray a deep 9-inch pie pan or an 8 1/2-inch fluted flan pan. Roll out dough and place in pie plate. Return to the refrigerator until filling is ready. Makes pastry for a 9-inch single crust pie.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
For the filling: Brush egg wash on the inside of pie crust. Return to refrigerator until filling is ready. Over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions and saute until translucent. Do not brown. Combine eggs, sour cream and flour. Add onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper and pour into chilled pie crust. Top with Parmesan. Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F for the last 20 minutes or until center is set.

With Clyde Billington
Another review of some of the latest digest items on from the summer 2015 dig season, from ARTIFAX magazine with co-editor, professor Clyde Billington. We discuss the Roman Legion fort that has been excavated across the road from Megiddo in the Jezreel Valley, the Sinai fort that was used by Thutmose III, Amenhotep II, and Necho II. We also talk about the British Museum excavations that have been taking place in Sidon

Egyptian Coffin and James Ossuary
With Clyde Billington
The latest issue of ARTIFAX magazine is out and we need to catch up on some news items with my co-editor, professor Clyde Billington. The cover story covers the discovery of a unique Egyptian style coffin found in the Jezreel Valley. We also discuss a new geological perspective on the authenticity of the controversial James Ossuary, the bone box that may have held the earthly remains of Jesus' brother. Our final news item concerns some discoveries made along side the road in two locations in Israel's Shephelah, including a 6,000 year-old temple.

Originally broadcast on The Book & The Spade in 1990, this Israel Broadcasting Service program takes the listener from Mt. Zion (the scene of the Last Supper), to the Kidron Valley and the Garden of Gethsemane, and then back up ancient streets to the Church of St. Peter in Gallicantu, the traditional location of Jesus' imprisonment before His crucifixion.

With Prof. Ken Dark
In the same spirit as the Jezreel Valley Regional Project discussed by Matthew Adams a few weeks ago, Professor Ken Dark of the University of Reading Research Center for Late Antique and Byzantine Studies is working on a landscape study of the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, particular the Plain of Ginosar or Genneserat, along the northwest shore. While surveying that landscape in 2012 he discovered the remains of a previously unidentified village. Based on a few biblical clues from the gospels, he's suggested that the site may be Dalmanutha, the place to which Jesus retired after the feeding of the 4,000 in the gospel of Marka (not to be confused with the feeding of the 5,000). .
The Jezreel Valley Regional Project
With Matthew Adams
Following up on our conversation on the Megiddo East Project, a new excavation that's begun across the highway to the east of tel Megiddo, we widen the scope to discuss the wider Jezreel Valley Regional Project. Through this projet, Matthew Adams and his team are coordinating the many archaeological projects that have taken place in the valley over the years, and those that are planned in the future.

The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Chapter 1
This build is meant to drop players, this build isn't great for backdooring but it doesnt rely on blue buff early game. You will die very easily untill you get Madreds so before you get Madreds you must rely on your lane partner to initiate then you decieve in and hit the easiest target. Be careful about decieve as the length of stealth is only 3 seconds. By the time you get starks you should be able to solo baron with your ultimate up MAKE SURE the baron is attacking your CLONE or you WILL die to the baron. If your exhausted don't wait it our simply run untill its out then auto-crit with deceive in their back for extra damage. The build doesnt have a great critical strike rate. Some items can be swapped in for example if you are having no survivorbility issues you can always trade starks for executioners calling. These items can be bought in any order depending on the other teams composure.

THUNDERBOLT, Ga. -- A talented chef from High Point was murdered outside of his home in Georgia.
Police say 27-year-old Forrest Ison and his 24-year-old girlfriend Alice Stevens were shot to death Sunday night. Investigators are still searching for the suspects and a motive.
Ison attended the Guilford Technical Community College Culinary School and instructors there remember him.
"He was just so passionate. He was the kind of kid you want to have in your class," explains Chef Al Romano, with GTCC Culinary School.
Ison's friends and instructors tell FOX8 he got an executive chef job in Georgia a couple years ago.
"He Facebooked me after he got the job to let me know he had gotten the job. He was very, very excited," explains Chef Michele Prairie.
Travis Bensink cooked alongside Ison during school.
"You always wanted to do as good as Forrest or try to do better than Forrest. He was that guy that set the bar and everyone else tried to achieve it," Bensink said.
Ison's friends still can't believe he's gone and are already missing him. "It just hurts you to know the world is without that person," explains Bensink.
Police say Ison and his girlfriend worked at the same restaurant.
Police are pursuing possible leads. No arrests have been made.

About a year and half back, I had written about how insecure Raja fans come and spew hatred whenever a new ARR album releases. And, the hatred increases exponentially if the album is a big hit.
These Illayaraja fans keep proving my point. There have been several examples in the past, but here's a recent example. This was in the comments section of 'Theera Ula' song lyric video in Youtube.
An Illayaraja fan who claims to be just 24 years old, but has claims to be oh-so-knowledgeable in Indian film music, Western film music and Western Classical Music. He says he has listened to all AR Rahman's music too. But, how much of this is true, I do not know. But, what I do know is he is on a mission to spread lies.
Let's see how this unfolded.
There were many comments (from ARR rans and non-ARR fans alike), raving about the song. There was a comment which said ARR is taking world music to sky level. This jealous Illayaraja fan, named Rahul Sudarshi, enters.
This was completely uncalled for, right? Then, lies started flowing from him.
People outside India give a damn to ARR? Really? He is respected by several composers outside India - Zimmer, Vangelis, Weber to name a few. But, this Illayaraja fan doesn't care. He is on a false propaganda mission, remember?
Then, it started becoming absolutely inane.
There were retorts to his silly comment, and then the Illayaraja fan says "Zimmer would not even allow ARR," whatever that means!
This is when I entered the debate to dispell the lies being spread by the hate-mongering Illayaraja fan.
I pointed out that Zimmer, in fact, appreciates ARR's music.
I used the word "worship" to make fun of the Illayaraja fan, who had used that word.
Anyway, it is a well documented fact that Hans Zimmer said "He's got the most perfect love theme (Latika's Theme) in Slumdog Millionaire which I am incredibly envious of in a loving way."
Zimmer always had good things to say about AR Rahman.
But, an Illayaraja fan whose only purpose on that youtube page was to lie and belittle AR Rahman wouldn't accept facts. As always, when faced with facts, this fellow to started abusing as his lies were exposed!
It is obvious that he didn't expect to be exposed so quickly, and he took to abusing me, as there was no way he could defend his statements! He accuses me of twisting facts, lol! The abuse continued through several replies throughout the day. He just didnt stop. Hours after my comment, this liar Illayaraja-fan kept writing new comments abusing me. He used filthy language, which is typical of Illayaraja fans - when they are cornered, this is what they resort to. He called me a maroon (I think he meant Moron, but then what more can you expect from such cheap fellows?)
Then, someone came and asked him to stop the non-sense! Then, this liar came up with another big lie - that he just talked about Hans Zimmer because someone else was talking about HZ! What a fraud this Illayaraja fan is? He was the first one to talk about Zimmer in that page!
Anyway, just to clear one thing - my point of responding to him about Hans Zimmer is not for validation from the west. The only purpose of me posting it was to expose the lying Illayaraja fans who go around spreading lies about AR Rahman and covering up all the good things about him.
Before I close, I thank all the Illayaraja fans who keep spreading your hatred and keep validating my blog post :)

On-line Book ReviewYO TOMITA
Bachs Clavier-Übungen
The work is based on a single ground bass theme; the variations display not only Bachs exceptional knowledge of the diverse styles of music of the day but also his exquisite performing techniques. This had an unfortunate consequence, in that the circulation of the work was not as high as anticipated, and many copies remained unsold, simply because the music was technically too difficult for most of the middle-class amateurs who dominated the market in his time. Nevertheless it captured the mind of connoisseurs and was regarded as the most important set of variations composed in the Baroque era: in 1774 Kirnberger referred to it as the best variations, while in 1802 Forkel praised it as the model according to which all variations should be made.
As regards Bachs manuscripts, there survives no autograph of the work. There are two manuscripts that transmit an early version of some movements (viz. the opening aria in the hand of Anna Magdalena, c.1740 and the 5th variation in the hand of Boineburg), which, when compared with the published editions, tells us some interesting aspects of the works development. The interested readers may refer to my article published in BACH, xxx/2 (1999), pp. 49-72.
|As with the earlier publications, numerous engraving errors crept into the edition. Bachs corrections give some interesting insight into the way he assessed his own work critically. Among the extant copies (18 are known at present), the most important is Bachs personal copy that was discovered in Strasbourg in 1974 (now in the possession of the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris): in it we can identify many corrections and additions carefully entered by him, suggesting that Bach planned the second revised edition, which never materialised. While many of Bachs alterations remove engraving errors, more interesting are his later improvements, in particular tempo indications to No.7 al tempo di Giga and to No.25 adagio, performance-related marks, such as staccatos and slurs, and ornaments such as mordents and appoggiaturasall very useful for performers. If you want to pursue this idea, you can find all the essential information in the Kritischer Bericht V/2 (1981) of the Neue Bach Ausgabe edited by Walter Emery and Christoph Wolff.
Bachs Handexemplar
|Among the revisions, the most significant finding must be the added appendix consisting of a previously unknown set of fourteen canons (BWV 1087), which is written very neatly in an unused page at the back of the volume. These canons are all based on the first eight ground bass notes of the Aria. Being arranged in the order of increasing contrapuntal complexity, these canons are set to include nearly all types of canonic techniques.
|The Fuzeau edition is a reproduction
of the copy in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris; this copy is the
most important copy of the work, for it was thought to have been the copy
that Bach kept for his own revision purpose (= Handexemplar). Moreover,
this is the only source which accommodate the 14
canons (BWV 1087).
This facsimile is designed for practical use. Using thick, durable paper and strong but flexible binding, the text is very clear and easy to read; the book sits well on the music stand on our harpsichord (see the picture on the right). It also includes a very helpful introduction in French, English and German, covering some of the historical background of the work. Unlike other volumes in this series, it does not include the list of Bachs hand-written corrections, however. For this, refer to NBA KB V/2, pp.95-6.
Musicologists may find this clear and high-contrast, single-colour ink reproduction slightly problematic, as it does not help us distinguish Bachs later additions from the printed symbols. A full-colour facsimile seems the only solution for this, though the cost of production would result in much, much higher purchasing price.
Postscript on 6 September 2008: In April 2008, I had an opportunity to examine Bach's Handexemplar in person, and compared it with the Fuzeau facsimile. There are many surprises when noticing the differences. First of all, the facsimile is much larger than Bach's original print. More important are the details: thin lines in the original edition appear much thicker in the Fuzeau facsimile. The title-page, for example, is actually much lighter in the original. The process of darkening seems to have caused major problems in this publication: the semiquaver flags of an appoggiatura, for example, tend to appear as quavers; dots in the original edition appear either larger or nothing at all. Yet the most shocking of all are the changes deliberately made to the text, which are presumably introduced at the digital editing (i.e. cleaning up of the images). For the benefit of scholars, I have compiled the list of errata which is available from this link.
The Riemenschneider Bach Facsimile is reproduced from the copy in their own library; it contains much fewer corrections. There are some added ornaments, which appear to have been added by J. N. Forkel, one of its former owners, who used this edition to publish his own in 1803 (see NBA KB V/2, p. 106).

Six Sense Records, operating since 2004 out of Los Angeles, California, is an eclectic union of EDM believers whose wish for you is to be inspired and transported through their releases – be they audio dreamscapes drenched in ethereal melodies and soul-shifting rhythms, or banging' electro that crushes, screams and perverts.
At the center of this talented and an enthusiastic collective is Sky Tavis aka "Skyko", a versatile artist, proficient producer and gifted multi-instrumentalist who has deep roots in EDM. Skyko and his highly motivated team plan to nurture and support the growth of the EDM scene through quality content backed by a belief that music can transform lives. Well-honed virtuosity infused with and fueled by freedom and independence has allowed Six Sense to begin carving out their own unique lane in a landscape of mass-produced mediocrity.
Says Skyko:
"There is so much amazing music being created by independent artists these days! As a passionate defender of the independent scene, I feel the responsibility to focus on progress and innovation. I'd rather work on a tune for a week or two, get it sitting really right before sending it out into the world. The mainstream music mafia is pushing this "assembly line" type music down the pipeline and it's up to labels like us to help keep it fresh and moving forward into interesting and entertaining new directions."
Six Sense makes more than records– they paint experiences and infuse authenticity into every single thing they do.
From writing and recording as well as producing and promoting the music to casting, shooting, editing and distributing the accompanying visuals, all aspects of the creative process are handled in-house and tended to with care, sincerity and uncompromising vision. Event organization, live performances and DJ'ing are also an integral part of the Six Sense EDM arsenal.
Skyko himself discovered EDM at Ministry of Sound London and the notorious "it" club in Amsterdam back in 1992 and he's not looked back since. Driven to contribute to– and be a part of– the spectacular sounds coming out of Europe, he released a track on a local L.A. label in 1994. Tracking people down to get paid was a particular point of frustration as was the sobering fact that there was no real big label support in America for EDM at the time.
Skyko and his crew of groove crusaders took assertive action and began operating "Club Heaven" in Hollywood as a way of building like-minded community and bringing people together for a sensational live experience. During this time, a number of their European DJ pals encouraged them to release music on their own imprint.
Great plan, however…
They soon found that running a club and a record label, along with DJ'ing and producing was impossible to do efficiently, so they opted to focus on their true love– MUSIC. The mission was clear– bring the beauty of EDM to the people and promote the best aspects of the scene– energetic exuberance, boundless joy, and social harmony, all delivered through a powerful assault of the senses.
Continuing to progress, expand, and flourish in 2012, Six Sense Records (a division of Deep End Entertainment, Inc.) strives for distinctive quality, innovation and to stay current resisting the trend to imitate the status quo.
