Class of 2014: Sea Star Estate Farms and Vineyards
Photo: Sea Star Estate Farms winery on Pender Island
A new winery, Sea Star Estate Farms and Vineyards, has emerged from the ashes of
's Morning Bay
Vineyard and Estate Winery. Pender
Sea Star has burst onto the wine scene with a stunning debut. Its first four white wines, all from 2013 and all from
grapes, impressed the judges at the recent Northwest Wine Summit competition.
Sea Star came away with two gold medals, a silver medal and a designation as
one of 16 wineries of distinction in the competition (winners of two or more gold
medals each). Pender Island
It is a strong start for owner David Goudge and his winemaker, Ian Baker. Others also have recognized the quality of the wines. Even before the results of the competition were announced, Sea Star wines had been placed on the lists of several of the best restaurants in
Vancouver (Blue Water Cafe, L'Abattoir,
Hawksworth, Chambar, and Homer St. Cafe and Bar).
In fact, Blue Water purchased the entire vintage, a little over 200 cases, of Stella Maris, the winery's elegant white blend. In total, the winery has released about 1,500 cases of
white wines. It
has about 600 cases of a Meritage made with Okanagan grapes that will be
released next year. Pender
David, who has lived on
Pender Island for about six years, purchased two and a half years ago after it
had closed. He set about resuscitating Morning Bay 's
only winery. Pender Island
David has discovered that the winery building still impresses. "So often, people drive up and their mouths drop," he says. "They don't expect this. They kind of think they are going to get a barn leaning slightly to the left or the right. To Keith's credit, he dreamed big."
Perhaps Keith dreamed too big. He listed the winery for sale in September 2010 as he struggled to operate
under the financial pressure of having built more than a rudimentary winery. He sold the winery to David, operating it under lease for a year as he liquidated his stock of wines. Morning Bay
Since taking over the property, David has invested in new tanks, new equipment, a climate controlled barrel cellar and an updated wine shop. However, to those who attended the rock concerts
used to host every fall, the winery will look familiar. Morning Bay
David was born in
in 1959 and grew up in a home where his parents shared wine at the dinner
table. "I am a fan of wine," he says. "I have never tried to learn how to make it
myself. I just leave that to the experts. But I am passionate about wine." Ottawa
He came to
Vancouver to study architecture at the . Then he went briefly
into the restaurant business before establishing himself as a University of British Columbia real estate agent. Some of the
restaurants that have taken Sea Star wines were restaurants where he
entertained clients. That has given him an edge with restaurateurs not known
for listing island wines. Vancouver
"Now when I went back into
some of the owners and managers recognized me and ask where I had been," he
says. "I told them I have started a winery on Vancouver
and they said when the wine is ready, bring it to us. I kind of had a door open
when the wines were available." Pender Island
No doubt, the elegantly simple but classic Sea Star labels help sell the wines. Each crisply white label is adorned with a sea star. "For me, the image of a sea star is reminiscent of beach combing in the summer; or you might be out kayaking on a calm day and you can see them up on the rocks," David says. "They represent summer in the ocean, that's what I thought."
They also underline that this is the only winery in
whose property runs down to
the ocean. British Columbia
Ian Baker, the vineyard manager and winemaker, formerly was a partner at Mistaken Identity Vineyards on
where he also made the wines and ran the organic vineyard. Salt
Spring Island
Ian is a one time Department of Fisheries employee and the former operator of a landscape business in
Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island.
More to the point, he was a long-time amateur winemaker with, as one of his
former partners said, "a box of medals."
He moved to Sea Star in 2013 after about four years with Mistaken
Pender Island grapes in the winery's 2013 whites are from
the 5,000 vines at Sea Star's vineyard and the 7,000 vines at the 5.5-acre
vineyard at Clam Bay Farm on .
Pender Island
Here are notes on the wines.
Sea Star Blanc de Noir 2013 ($17.90 for 312 cases). This Provence-style rosé made from Clam Bay Farm fruit begins with a rose petal hue. It has aromas and flavours of rhubarb, strawberry and cranberry. The racy acidity gives the wine a fresh and tangy finish. The wine is also crisply dry. This wine won a gold medal and "best rosé" at the Northwest Wine Summit. 90.
Sea Star Siegerrebe 2013 ($17.90 for 425 cases). This wonderfully expressive wine, with
fruit, begins with aromas of herbs, spice and grapefruit. On the palate, there
are flavours of grapefruit, guava, peach and spice. A bowl of tropical fruit
flavours, this aromatic wine has a very long finish. The exquisite balance of
acidity and residual sugar contributes to the clean, fresh flavours. This wine
won gold. 91. Clam Bay
Sea Star Ortega 2013 ($18.90 for 448 cases). Also made with
fruit, this wine
begins with aromas of melon, herbs and a light pinch of hazelnut. On the
palate, there are flavours of grapefruit and honeydew supported by a note of
minerality. The finish is dry with a touch of spice. Silver medal. 90. Clam
Sea Star Stella Maris 2013 ($19.90 but sold out). This is an estate-grown blend of Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Ortega and Schönburger. It is a very complex dry white with the character and body to give it versatility with food. It has aromas of honey, rose petal, herbs and spice. On the palate, there are flavours of apricot and melon, with a pleasing touch of herbs and spice on the finish. 91.

Harrison has announced the availability of the v2.3 update for its Mixbus digital audio workstation, adding numerous improvements – a faster routing setup, enhanced keyboard layout, and a more refined editing workflow – and resolves multiple user-reported issues.
This release also marks the introduction of Harrison's new series of plug-ins – XTools for Mixbus – that are derived from the company's digital console software.
The first three plug-ins are the XT-ME Mastering Equalizer, XT-MC Multi-Band Compressor, and the XT-EQ Equalizer. All three plug-ins are now available at the Harrison Mixbus store, and can be purchased at a special introductory price.
XTools for Mixbus features
- The XT-ME Mastering EQ features a revolutionary filter shape that was originally designed for precision speaker management. Unlike a conventional EQ, when 2 or more adjacent bands are adjusted, the shape is "flat" across the top. This avoids the "comb filter" shape of a typical multiband EQ.
- The XT-EQ contains all of the sound of the XT-ME Mastering Equalizer in a smaller footprint.
- The XT-MC Multi-Band Compressor is equipped to enhance or repair tracks in a mix. It uses a precision algorithm with phase-correct crossovers, adjustable hard/soft control, and intelligent attack/release times to perform delicate tweaking or major surgery without artifacts.
The XT-ME and XT-MC are available for the introductory price of $79 USD each (regular $109 USD), XT-EQ is on sale for $39 USD (regular $49 USD).
Through June 12th, 2013, Mixbus is available from DontCrack for only $39 USD (regular $219 USD).

Hundreds of Rogue Stars Found Just Outside the Milky Way
It's not quite like being kicked off a reality TV show, but some stars can get kicked out from their home galaxy. These stars – called various names like rogue, runaway or hypervelocity stars – were predicted to exist for quite some time, and finally just in the past couple of years a few of them have actually been discovered. But now a group of nearly 700 rogue stars have been found on the outskirts of the Milky Way. The astronomers who found them argue they are hypervelocity stars that have been ejected from the center of the galaxy.
"These stars really stand out. They are red giant stars with high metallicity which gives them an unusual color," said Kelly Holley-Bockelmann from Vanderbilt University, who conducted the study with graduate student Lauren Palladino.
They found these stars analyzing the millions of stars cataloged in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
"We figured that these rogue stars must be there, outside the galaxy, but no one had ever looked for them. So we decided to give it a try," said Holley-Bockelmann, who is studying the behavior of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
Runaway stars are kicked into motion either through a supernova explosion of a companion star, through gravitational interactions with other stars in a cluster, or through encounters with a black hole. One scenario could involve a binary pair of stars that get caught in the black hole's grip, and as one of the stars spirals in towards the black hole, its companion is flung outward at a tremendous velocity.
This is the scenario the researchers focused on, and so they looked for red giant stars just outside the Milky Way.
Red giant stars are the end stage in the evolution of small, yellow stars like the Sun. So, the stars in this new red giant rogues category should have been small stars like the Sun when they got ejected. As they traveled outward, they continued to age until they reached the red giant stage. Even traveling at hypervelocities, it would take a star about 10 million years to travel from the central hub to the spiral's edge, 50,000 light years away.
"Studying these rogue stars can provide us with new insights into the history and evolution of our home galaxy," said Holley-Bockelmann
There are a few methods for discovering runaway rogue stars. The first is to examine stars individually and analyze their motion in the plane of the sky (proper motion) along with their motion towards or away from us (radial velocity) to determine if a given star has sufficient velocity to escape. The second is to look at the effects some stars have on the local environment. Since young clusters contain large amounts of gas and dust, stars plowing through it will create bow shocks, similar to those a boat makes in the ocean.
The team from Vanderbilt selected these stars based on their location in intergalactic space between the Milky Way and the nearby Andromeda galaxy and by their peculiar red coloration.
The researchers' next step is to determine if any of their candidates are unusually red brown dwarfs instead of red giants. Because brown dwarfs produce a lot less light than red giants, they would have to be much closer to appear equally bright.

Bow shocks are one of my favourite types of structure in space… a google image search brings up some wonderful examples (and interesting diagrams)
If stars are being ejected by the Milky Way galaxy, there must also be stars which have been ejected by other galaxies. Perhaps some few of them could be found approaching our own galaxy?
like Anita responded I didn't know that any one able to get paid $9717 in a few weeks on the computer. have you read this site===>>http://must2visit.blogspot.com
Like planet X, or dwarf star class? Maybe.. who knows?
Maybe there is wars between galaxy.. stars and planets as the bullet, shooting everywhere. Will happens in next billion years, when Andromeda and Milky Way have collision.. the future of an expanding universe. the area of rogue stars and planets will dissapear between two galaxy.. Who's will win the battle?

|The following Essay appeared in the July issue of The Furrow: with thanks to Fr Ronan Drury:
Dream of a Fair Field
Ireland, in the early part of this the twenty-first century, has become an island of greed and sorrow; we have become a
nation where the gathering of wealth, no matter what is damaged or who is downtrodden along the way, takes
precedence over traditional generosity and Christian belief. We are a county where violence, the thrust for power,
collaboration with the US weaponry of war, torture and untruth, the sufferings of the poor, the ill and infirm, oh all of the
conditions associated with a 'third world' country. . . dominate; and all of this has thrown a distress into the soul that is
not easy to deal with. As an aspiring poet, I have found that it has become more and more difficult to write. There is
needed a tranquillity of spirit to allow the circumstances of our living to acquire resonance, depth and understanding,
but the immediacy and speed of developments are inimical to that tranquillity of spirit. Furthermore, it has become (and
there is no other way of saying this) fashionable to deny the validity of religion and religious practices.
The ground of all my living and writing has been an attempt to fashion a language and imagery suitable to the
translation of Christian faith in these modern times, and for this I have suffered ridicule and rejection, as a matter of
course. How can a poem stand against the United Sates/Israel military machine? How can it bring a sense of integrity
and morality to a political system in our own country that works by subterfuge, aiming at perpetuation of power rather
than the good of the citizens when political life has become shameful and overtly dismissive of the deeper values by
which Christianity ought to flourish. A poet may be noisily praised and lauded in public but is ignored and dismissed as
having nothing 'real' to offer to the 'real' world. I speak of this as the censorship of indifference and this country is rife
with it.
I have re-read Isaiah, that great prophet and poet and, (even if 'he' is a gathering of several writers), find the work
challenging and uplifting. He spoke out, against his own will, to emphasise the truth of his vision of God to a people
suffering their own ills. In the book there is a series of pieces, "Songs of the Suffering Servant", where the author
complains of the indifference of the people to his message. If my faith in the beauty and worth of the Christian heritage
to which I owe all hope, urges me to write in order to do what I can to redeem that heritage, then I feel an obligation so
to do. I do not compare myself to Isaiah, but one is allowed to echo the work, to recapture its spirit for one's own times:
resentful silence; I complain the inadequacy
of words as instruments of peace –
as it has been, and now, and may
all a life-time, be.
The words shift before me, blown sand, blown ash –
chill April days, rooks squabbling in the naked trees –
and I sieve words, to piece together what the Lord God lays
cruelly on my tongue. I have seen morning upon morning weariness
on an island without meaning. And I am weak, rebellious,
weak again; I wait, listening. I have hid for shame,
have ducked my head before the dryly critical.
Here, at the roots of trees, the lost twigs of the rookery.
Invisibly the God helps, I will not be confounded;
He who justifies is near me, touches me, the way
the first warm breeze of spring
touches. I, too, grow old
like a much-used overcoat, ripped
raw like a gardener's
I was brought up to believe in a Christ who is the spoken name (the Word) and nature of the Creator, our Source and
Sustenance. That name and nature have always signified, for me, love and service. It is a love that works its way
through the very flesh and bones of the earth, through all things, all creatures. From the wild and wonderful beauty of
Achill Island, I learned to associate rock and ocean, tree and insect, to the destiny of humanity and find that reading
justified in St Paul, in the overwhelming beauty of Romans chapter eight. And it is the blood of the Christ that suffuses
this earth, as it suffuses our beings in Communion. The Christ bleeds still: and I find it my great need to try and speak
out, in the only way I know how:
A slow mist fistles across the alder leaves;
rushes stand, still as rust-haired soldiers
waiting; sheep, trailing wool and brambles, shift
lethargically in the fields; morning, and I know –
because I have not spoken – I have unclean lips
and the roof of my mouth is turf-grit dry. Fuchsia
blossoms hang in their scarlet miracles
and rhododendron woods swell in their extravagance;
burn my tongue, I pray, with a live coal
that words on fire and unexpected might yet
flame across the darkening spaces. Too soon
evening sunlight on the mountain slopes will cast
shadow-clouds – spirit-thunderers, truth-falls –
its maps of the difficult boroughs of the sky.
It is a question, too, of language. Of course I miss the great poetry of the psalms, the Song of Songs, the Book of
Revelation. I find the dreary forced 'modernity' of music at Mass now wholly wearying, after the glories of Bach and
Palestrina. I find that the Christian message is being couched today in a language that is lowered in intensity and
seriousness to accommodate a lethargic faith. I know that the use of words like "immaculate conception",
"transubstantiation", "pyx", even commoner words like "sacrament" and "mercy", are almost meaningless to a younger
generation. Christmas has become a time (now months long) for spending and buying, for overeating and over
drinking; Easter has become a time for Chocolate eggs and bunnies and the notion of Lent has become an opportunity
to try, once again, to ease back (for the sake of one's health) on smoking or alcohol. I know I exaggerate a little, but
only, I think, a little. And all of the ills to which our society is subject, relate back to a lack of structure in life, to a failure
of purpose. If motivation gives energy to act, then lack of motivation leads to lethargy, depression and even suicide.
Christ back, then, upon Irish souls!
Rarely does one get an opportunity to confront the politicians, those to whom we once looked for leadership and now
look on with wholly jaundiced eyes. But when an election comes upon us, so do the politicians, creeping from door to
door, begging. I have taken this moment as the urgency of a poem that attempts an overview of our time. It begins with
a calling to my door one Sunday morning; I was, in fact, about to head out to Mass, after a walk in the local park;
smitten, as I so often am, by the beauty and variety of the physical universe as well as by its violence and indifference,
I was in no mood to stand quietly and receptively before the blandishments and hollow promises of a politician.
I have been walking amongst weeds and wilderness
over by ponds in the suburban park; eye
of the goldeneye, claw of the water rail, a rat
gone dunking down the hollowed heart
of a tree; a heron, rakish-thin, stands above me
as Donne the preacher might have stood
admonishing. The rowan tree by the front door
has loosed its berries and the cowering earth
is rich with knowledge of the ways of God. Soon
he who is beggar, who would be governor,
will stand at the door, and knock; suave and discrete
in his light blue shirt, pink tie, his golfer cufflinks,
he will be braced with promises, with gorgeous lies
bristling like nostril-hairs, like down-tufts in his ears.
The ministerial car parked around the corner, its engine running.
I find it my task to point out, in so far as I am able, through poetry just such a contradiction, that this "cowering" earth is
exemplar to how humankind should stand in relation to unquestioning obedience to the will of God. The man at my
door, I was well aware, was typical politician, and the words above are an attempt to convey my feelings without
actually 'preaching'. If poetry is to work, then it needs that distance that takes it away from rhetoric and controversy
and it is precisely that distance that is difficult to find when emotions are actually running high. I had been reading
Isaiah's terrifying prophecies:
I had been taken by the last things, end-days
when the mountains would come keeling over, burying
the villages that had forgotten God; I saw
nations flow like torrents into a broiling sea,
who had turned their metals into gold, their minerals
into smart bombs. Is it a small thing, I will ask him,
that on your watch the bones of children
lie bleaching in the sun? He'll say: there will be
lavender and roses, the hair-fluff on his manly wrists
shivering. I will be nervous but will say, you
are government, the spoils of the poor are in your home;
they sit on plastic seats in supermarket doors while you
slip by in your Mercedes-Benz S-Class, not knowing God
will be standing out at the street crossing, waiting.
You will want to run him down and grind his bones into the tar.
Oh dear, these, of course, are the words I wanted to speak to him, but would they come out in the fervour of moments
standing at the door? Of course not; how many of us remember exactly what we wanted to say, and how to say it, long
after the opportunity has passed us by! We look to our politicians to bring order and harmony to our society, or at least
we used to; nowadays, as it has always been, poetry looks more to the order and harmony of the physical world about
That we – even in the labyrinthine dustways
of the suburbs – are formed of, and are one with
ocean, that our names are written on the hill slopes
in white sea-stones, that the cries we hear at night
are the cries of the drowned that go drifting by
in clean bone-constructs or in the guts of shoals –
a high uninterrupted crying that must be part
of the loud hosanna, biddable, like the chough
in acrobatic flight where scream echoes to blood
against the cliffs, or like the cock-eyed sparrow
bathing himself in dust by the back door, eyed
by the tomcat arrogantly spraying car-wheel
and shrub in manicured pathway – does all this
make you say there is no order to the winds? Nor
therefore, order in the labyrinthine dustways of our lives.
The deepest order and harmony that we can be aware of, is that which Christ, the breathed-out nature of our God, has
shown us and it is that same Christ that we have put to death, and put to death again, over and over. In Ireland, our
awareness too that the Mother of Christ suffered along with her son and touches our hearts most closely, has also
seemed to be hidden away in embarrassed confusion. To a poet attempting to touch on these subjects once again,
there arises an awareness of personal unworthiness, of one's own ongoing need for forgiveness. And yet the urge to
cry out, in the face of the overwhelming violence of our times, takes precedence over such diffidence.
There was a violent death – exquisite pain –
foreshadowed, many times rehearsed, the mother's hands
raised in a gesture of anguish, questioning
how can this be, and why? The ocean's sound
falling against the beach could be the sound he heard
birthing on that hill out of that womb, could be
the sound that is a restless and shifting
violence in the blood. Times were when I could weep
for him, weep for myself and for my children,
weep for betrayal, for forgiveness that I need
seventy times seven and every day. Childmother sits,
innocent, hands stretched wide as the bay's embrace,
though querulous; the son lies dead between her knees,
eyes closed and head lolling in heaviness. Violence
gaining dominion, the bullying human, the hectoring.
Having vented such thoughts, interiorly, and long after the event, and having failed once again to stammer them in
actuality to the ears that would, no doubt, be closed against them, I accepted his piece of publicity, he smiled and went
on his way, unperturbed. But later the poem comes, much later and now it can take years before a collection of poetry
will appear and the rare poetry journals do not like to take on longer pieces of work, so one feels as if the cries are
truly those of one mewling in the wilderness. But one mewls on, dropping the words like individual drops of water into a
salt ocean.
Because you are ashamed of God, when the cities
of your hands crumble in unimaginable heat
you will bow down your heads, your mountains
will blow in dust before the winds; you have turned
your face from the facts of war, you have been paid in cash;
you will thrive, for yet a while, a little while, for yet
a very little while. It is said Isaiah was a small man
insignificant and balding – fist knuckled against his head
to hide embarrassment – but of the people, a fire
blazed unquenchably in his heart; one lazy eye could see
down the corridor of centuries, how the child, uncouth
and cradled in a crib, would start to burn all flesh
to the purest nib, and blow the ash of all that lived
into everlasting dust. I will close the door, softly; he
will turn, walk down the drive and knock, smiling, at the next door.
The prophet Jonah was also unwilling to go and speak God's word. Religious poetry, though the tradition of such work
in English is truly a magnificent one (Donne, Herbert, Milton, Hopkins, Eliot. . .) is often summarily rejected, not for its
form, language or worth, but because there are many who presume that once the subject touches on religion, then the
poetry does not exist. It is a blindingly foolish approach; one might as well reject out of hand all poetry that touches on
swans, or that deals with shipwrecks, or touches on the dejecta of a city's alleyways. Yet a Christian holds that the
justice of God is tempered always with love, a fact that annoyed Jonah when his prophecies ultimately were overturned
by such a love. Kill me, the prophet Jonah said to a demanding God, because your steadfast love undermines all
justice. Your gift, God said, has been mine to give, and yours, simply to accept. And so, before the crazy building of
the new and grasping Ireland, where so much of our countryside lies like lopped limbs in a war zone, while men in
daffodil-yellow hard hats move about like robots carrying wooden planks, it is easy to lose heart; I have been figuring,
in a place apart, if this is stitching or unstitching of the world. I would host the bones requiem these days, over ocean
juggernauts, mosquito jets masterful in their economies, their deconstructions; in our economic victories such spiritual
Contemporary society is amused, perhaps even a little bemused, by poetry and generally mocking of religious poetry.
And yet I dream on, and attempt to turn my dream of a newly Christian Ireland into some reality, at least a reality in
And in the dream thousands of young
women and men were wading slowly out
into the lake while the oozing bottom-mud sucked them
further and further until they disappeared with that soundless yowl
possible only in dreams though audible
day by day around us, here, in this country, and now, at this time.
Can a poem touch on the heart of politics? Can it tell
how the blood-sheen on claw and bill of the chough
is beautiful beyond their machinations? Do they know
how good it is to sleep by an uncurtained window
while the dark side of the mountain looms as guardian
and a high star shades from gold to turquoise-white?
Can they tell how the skylark fills its own lake full
high above the sand-dunes with water-fire music,
can they bring the scent of cotton, of heather and the warming bog
into their chambers where they hurl lies and accusations
across our hurting space? The Christ, the poem says,
waltzed across lake water, he is alive, in light, and stone, and bone
and do you hear Him? You the anointed of the people,
the disappointed, the disappointing.

14 Reasons Why You Should Include Buffer in Your Social Media Strategy
Buffer, an innovative social sharing app, has been making waves in the Twitterverse and beyond since it first launched in 2010. Not only has it been covered by just about every tech blog and news site on the web, the app has managed to garner over 150 million users because of its excellent capabilities and features that allow people to save time and get more results.
Buffer supports Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn which is perfect for anyone managing multiple social media accounts. Instead of visiting these sites one by one, you can simply schedule and manage your posts all from one interface.
If you aren't using Buffer in your online and social media strategy yet, check out the list below and see why the app could be the perfect addition to your social media utility belt.
1. Tweets are optimized automatically – Sure, there are tons of tools out there that let you schedule your posts, but what makes Buffer stand out is that it schedules your tweets, Facebook, and LinkedIn posts with a push of a button. No need to add the date and time manually, with this app, you can do it all with one click. What's more, Buffer schedules posts at optimal times to ensure that your tweets, links, and messages get the most exposure. Want to do the scheduling yourself? Buffer also gives users the options to have manually set timeslots for posts.
2. Buffer seamlessly integrates with all the coolest browsers – Buffer is available as an extension/plugin for Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Safari. The Buffer extension sits as a button on your browser that you can click when you want to tweet the current web page that you're browsing. For example, if you come across an informative blog post, you can simply hit the Buffer button and it will give you the option to either send it immediately or schedule it at a later time.
3. There's a Buffer button for blogs posts – If have a blog, you can add the Buffer button on your website to make it easier for readers to schedule posts. The button works the same way as the Facebook Like or Tweet buttons, and can be included as social sharing option on your site.
4. The Buffer WordPress plugin works like a charm – Automatically publish posts from your WordPress blog via your Buffer account. This WordPress plugin allows you to send your posts to Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn using Buffer's efficient scheduling and optimization tool.
5. It has a clean, easy-to-understand interface – Buffer's features and functionality are extremely easy to understand mainly because it has a sleek and clean interface. Unlike other programs that try to include numerous buttons and tons of information, Buffer keeps everything simple and easy to navigate. Not to mention, all features can be accessed with one click.
6. You can add Facebook posts to Buffer – On Facebook, the last thing you want is to invade or flood the News Feeds of your fans. Being too aggressive when it comes to Facebook posts can annoy users and give them a reason to unlike you. It's best to spread out those updates throughout the day or week, and one of the easiest and quickest ways to do this is through the use of Buffer.
7. You can add LinkedIn posts to Buffer – Keep your professional network continuously updated by including your LinkedIn account to Buffer. LinkedIn is the third social network that Buffer included in its family, and scheduling posts and updates is as easy and seamless as the previous social networks.
8. You can add ReTweets to Buffer – Retweets are great, but they can get annoying if you retweet several posts in a short amount of time. Use Buffer to spread out your retweets so you don't end up flooding your followers' Twitter streams.
9. It offers real-time analytics – Buffer offers real-time analytics for every post you schedule. You'll see the number of retweets, replies, clicks, reach, and favorites of each tweet you send out. For Facebook and LinkedIn, Buffer displays the number of comments, likes, clicks, reach, and shares for each post. Aside from being recorded in real-time, Buffer's analytics dashboard gives you the convenience of seeing your social media data for Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn in one place.
10. You can easily thank people for Retweeting you right from the Buffer interface – Want to thank the users that Retweeted your posts? With Buffer, you don't have to go all the way to Twitter to do so. The app has a thank you button in the analytics page that allows you to type up a quick note that you can schedule from the interface. Buffer also has a reply button for responding to people that favorited or interacted with your tweets.
11. You can follow people that interacted with your Tweets right from the Buffer interface – Aside from the thank you and reply buttons, Buffer also lets you follow people right from the interface. If a user interacts with your post (i.e. by Retweeting, replying , or marking it as favorite), you'll be able to follow them by hovering over that user and hitting the follow button.
12. You can Buffer via Email – Don't have the Buffer app in your smartphone or browser? You can still schedule tweets via email. Every Buffer user gets a unique email address that you can send tweets to. The text of the tweet should be added to the subject field, while the link should be in the body of the email. Once you're done composing the tweet, simply send it to the unique Buffer email assigned to your account.
13. Buffer offers a ton of goodies – Buffer integrates with a wide range of apps and devices. Aside from having apps for various browsers and smartphones, Buffer can be incorporated with several other programs and websites, including Google Reader, Pocket, Digg, Social Bro, IFTTT, Shareaholic, and more.
14. The free version is super functional – All the above-mentioned features are available for free at Bufferapp.com. Those who want more functionality though, can opt for Buffer app's "awesome" version for $10 a month. The paid version allows you to have unlimited posts, 12 social media profiles and 2 team members.

Conventional wisdom suggests that bigger is better, particularly when it comes to online social networks. But for those who are unemployed and want to use their professional contacts to open doors with hiring managers, having a large network made up of irrelevant (or weak) connections won't help secure an interview or job offer.
They say it's not what you know, it's who you know. If that's true, being connected to as many people as possible is surely the best way to build a strong online social network of professional peers and colleagues. After all, each of us — at some time or another — will need to tap into that network to find a new job or change careers. Having a large number of contacts on LinkedIn seems like a good way to amass valuable resources who can offer job leads and recommendations when needed.
But new research from McCombs Assistant Professor Rajiv Garg says it doesn't, and that having a network that's too big or comprised mostly of people you don't know well can actually backfire right when you need it most.
Together with Carnegie Mellon co-author Rahul Telang, Garg followed 109 unemployed LinkedIn users to see how easily they searched for jobs, got interviews, and secured job offers. Of the LinkedIn users they tracked for two months, those who had mostly weak ties had more job leads, but those with stronger connections got more interviews and job offers.
Garg refers to a "strong tie" as someone you know well and communicate with periodically, while a "weak tie" is someone you have a very loose connection with — for example, a friend of a friend or a person you met at a conference but haven't spoken with since.
Most social networks, by their very nature, include both weak and strong ties. Past research, including Michael Granovetter's influential 1973 paper "The Strength of Weak Ties," has shown that weak ties can be useful because they tend to provide more job leads than strong ties can. This is because, unlike strong ties, you don't hear from weak ties often, so when you do reach out to them, they tend to have more new information about job openings that you weren't already tapped into.
"Weak ties help job-seekers find new leads, but they can't help with recommendations — and recommendations matter more," says Garg. "Having a lot of connections on LinkedIn is great so long as you're able to maintain a stronger relationship with them. That stronger relationship allows you to get better interviews, more interviews, and more offers."
But while weak ties are better at providing job leads, having too many of those loose connections can work against you.
Frequent communication is key to maintaining strong ties, but when you have a very large online social network, it can be difficult (if not impossible) to sustain those relationships. And while there is not an exact number of contacts to aim for, Garg notes that the Dunbar Number — the number of meaningful relationships we can sustain — is 150.
"If I have fewer connections," explains Garg, "I'm more likely to keep them updated or stay in touch with them. If I have 1,000 connections, even if I send an email to one person every single day, I still can't connect with everybody in a year or even two years."
That distance makes it harder for a contact to offer you the recommendation that gets you the interview or the job offer.
Additionally, to a recruiter or hiring manager, an applicant's very large professional network can appear impressive at first glance. But if the job-seeker and employer have a contact in common, a network can become suspect very quickly.
"The recruiter might choose to contact that person and ask for a recommendation. If the person says, 'Yes, and she's great,' that's awesome. You will get the interview. If the person says, 'No, I don't know her much. I just got connected on LinkedIn,' you've basically lost the opportunity. If there were no shared connection at all, you probably would have done better. So having a larger number of weaker connections actually hurts you from the interviews and offers perspective," says Garg.
Their research is the first of its kind to offer empirical evidence about how job-seekers use LinkedIn.
Garg's advice for job-seekers?
"Know people," he says. Attend relevant conferences, workshops, and meetings. "Don't tell the recruiters you're looking for a job, but [rather] amaze people with your talent and skill set and then connect with them on LinkedIn or other social networks."
Most important, follow up. Turn the weak tie into a strong tie by sending a note, keeping in touch, and meeting again for coffee or lunch when possible. By impressing someone who can advocate on your behalf, you have the strongest possible connection to a potential new job.
If a weak tie can offer you a job lead but not a recommendation, try to find a stronger tie who can. Known as the "spillover effect," this is the research you do to find connections to people and organizations that aren't immediately obvious — such as a valued colleague who turns out to be good friends with a hiring manager you'd like to meet.
And when you get that request to connect on LinkedIn from someone you've never met? Ignore it.
"Connecting online without any interaction beforehand or any referral point of contact is useless," declares Garg.

We bought this apartment whilst still living in Hong Kong after looking for the ideal place in Spain for over 10 years.
The Owner purchased this apartment in 2015
The apartment itself is very large, well built with excellent finishing's, marble floors, good quality bathroom fittings, granite kitchens, integral heating and air con, electric shutters and so on . We loved the large terrace overlooking the golf course and cork forests. We also liked the fact that the surroundings are very quiet and peaceful but we also have high quality restaurants on site.
We love the area, we can be on an almost deserted beach within 5 minutes or equally we can be on one with beach bars and restaurants, and blow up activity areas in the sea within the same 5 minutes. There are marinas in Sotogrande and low cost shops in Gibraltar. Fantastic restaurants and lots of see and do makes it perfect for us and our guests
We used this lovely apartment as a base to travel around Andalucia in October. The accommodation is spacious, beautifully furnished and well equipped - including all up to date technology, WiFi, Sky TV channels. etc. There is also an excellent maid service available on request which we used several times. It is situated in a country club setting with large terraces overlooking the golf course. The on-site faciliites - golf club, restaurants and gym were also convenient and useful. We particularly enjoyed the local Italian restaurant Bucintoro. The apartment is a short drive to good supermarkets and to the beach at Alcadeisa. We used the San Roque - La Linea train - just 15 minutes drive, to travel to Ronda, Cordoba and Seville and booked train tickets online through Renfe. This was a wonderful holiday and we would highly recommend this apartment.
This is a nice modern apartment on San Roque Golf Estate. The apartment was clean and is a nice size with 3 reasonably sized bedrooms with plenty of storage space and 2 nice bathrooms. Good sized lounge and kitchen and seemed to have all that is required for a self catering holiday. It has a lovely terrace with a good view that is in the sun all day from about 1030. There was a problem with the wifi and TV which only worked 3 of the 7 days we were there. Pauline who is the contact in Spain was excellent and tried really hard to solve the problem. The swimming pool was not open. It is only open during the summer months?. Enjoyed our holiday and would definitely consider staying at this apartment again if visiting this area.
We had the pleasure of staying in this apartment just after it was completed. It is furnished to an exacting standard- it is like something out of a magazine or show home. Everything is of a very high quality- the beds are comfortable, the sofa is lovely, the kitchen is well equipped. The wifi is surprisingly fast although there was one outage of 5 minutes or so. we all had ipads, phones and 2 laptops and there was no problem. The view from the huge terrace is wonderful and all you can hear is birdsong and braying donkeys!
The complex was very quiet when we were there however we were told that it is busier in July and especially August. We enjoyed the large pool to ourselves everyday- it was sparkling clean and a very nice tempertaure. Walking in the community was a pleasure- almost no traffic and lovely flowers, bushes, orange and lemon trees everywhere. We visited tarifa- great tapas in the bars beside the cobbles at the main church with the bells, Sotogrande- very posh marina, Estepona- great promenade for walking along with lots of bars and restaurants and Gibraltar. There is a huge shopping centre 20 minutes from the apartment where unfortunately there was a primark and HM- the prices were the same in euros as pounds which I am told saved me loads! Hmmm! Highly recommended apartment and location

Christopher Hitchens Quotes About PartiesQuotes about: Parties
The Iraqi Baath Socialist Party was modelled in large part on admiration for European National Socialist and Fascist movements, hoped to emulate them especially in their nationalism against the West. But mutated by Saddam Hussein it became also one that very, very much admired, and grew a special moustache in admiration of the work of Yosif Vissarionovitch Dzugashvili, the great Georgian known to us historically as Stalin. So you had him in modern Iraq, a regime in our own time, that was openly, directly modelled upon the two most extreme examples of European totalitarianism.
Benito Mussolini had barely seized power in Italy before the Vatican made an official treaty with him, known as the Lateran Pact of 1929. Under the terms of this deal, Catholicism became the only recognized religion in Italy, with monopoly powers over matters such as birth, marriage, death, and education, and in return urged its followers to vote for Mussolini's party. Pope Pius XI described II Duce ("the leader") as "a man sent by providence."
When the [US] president writes to Kim Jong Il, the son, the Dear Leader, he doesn't call him Dear Mr President, he calls him Dear Mr Secretary. Have you ever noticed that? Why is that? Because he's not the president of North Korea, he's the head of the Communist Party, the North Korean Workers' Party and he's the head of the Army. He's not head of the state. The head of the state is his father, who's been dead for 15 years.
The best blended Scotch in the history of the world - which was also the favourite drink of the Iraqi Baath Party, as it still is of the Palestinian Authority and the Libyan dictatorship and large branches of the Saudi Arabian royal family - is Johnnie Walker Black. Breakfast of champions, accept no substitute.
The realization that American power could and should be used for the defense of pluralism and as a punishment for fascism came to me in Sarajevo a year or two later... That was an early quarrel between me and many of my Nation colleagues, and it was also the first time I found myself in the same trench as people like Paul Wolfowitz and Jeane Kirkpatrick: a shock I had to learn to get over. The only real radicalism in our time will come as it always has from people who insist on thinking for themselves and who reject party-mindedness.
Writing is what's important to me, and anything that helps me do that - or enhances and prolongs and deepens
and sometimes intensifies argument and conversation - is worth it to me. [It is] impossible for me to imagine having
my life without going to those parties, without having those late nights, without that second bottle.

ZOMBEE WATCH STEM PROJECT: Citizen Science Brought to Your School
Become a ZomBee Hunter and join us in tracking the spread of the zombie fly!
Planet Bee is proud to partner with San Francisco State University to bring citizen science to the classroom. Students discover the joy of participating in current and important honey bee research for real scientists through our ZomBee Watch Project school program. This program heavily focuses on STEM education and is in line with the Next Generation Science Standards.
Dr. John Hafernik, ZomBee Watch founder and professor emeritus of Entomology at San Francisco State University, recently discovered that honey bees are being affected by a zombie fly parasitoid (a parasite that always kills its host). Honey bees infected by the parasitoid are attracted to lights at night and exhibit zombie-like behavior.
Our ZomBee Watch Project consists of two or three onsite visits to your classroom and includes in-depth lessons on honey bee behavior, the zombie fly life cycle, sample collection, recording and analyzing scientific data, and more. Students will design their own light traps to catch "ZomBees", and contribute their data to an international project.
Check out these blog posts about our program at Discover Magazine and SciStarter!

We've created a source doc for educators to cut and paste from if applying to grants through their school's, PTA or other outside organizations. Click here to download it!

Prepare Yourself for Dire Consequences If Chuck Gets Canceled
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together ... mass hysteria!
In an interview with the New Jersey Star-Ledger's TV critic Alan Sepinwall, Chuck co-creator Chris Fedak was asked how fans of his show would respond should NBC decide not to renew the show for a third season. "They're going to burn their living rooms," he said. "They're going to destroy their television sets. There could be chaos across the country." While we're pretty sure that Fedak is overreacting, just to be safe, we recommend that you begin stocking up on canned food and kerosene while you've still got time.

ABERDEEN -- Edgewood kept Demont Blackmon bottled up for four quarters last night, but the swift senior tailback broke away on the first play of overtime to lead No. 12-ranked Aberdeen to a 20-12 victory over the No. 13 Rams.
The showdown between two of Harford County's top-ranked teams ended regulation play in a 12-12 tie, as the Edgewood defense held Blackmon to 60 yards on 15 carries. He had rushed for a total of 430 yards in his first two games.
The Rams scored first when Lawrence Worthington fielded a punt at the Eagles' 37 and raced into the end zone. Charles Harris blocked the extra-point attempt.

Donte Thomas is one of four active NCAA DI players with 300-plus assists (308) and 275-plus rebounds (277) since start of 2015-16 season.
With 20 points against Georgia State (Feb. 27), Devin Carter passed the 1,000 point plataeu. He became the 27th player in program history to 1,000 points, but only the third to do so in just two seasons played.
Deven Simms averages 13.4 points per game off the bench, tied for the third most nationally among players with no starts this year.

The Red Wolves had five wins this year away from home in non-conference play, most since the 1988-89 team had three road wins and a pair of neutral site victories in the preseason.
With two regular season games to play, A-State has the chance to post the best regular season record in program history.
Four teams, this team at 20-9 along with the 1997-98 squad (20-9), the 1990-91 team (20-7) and the 1988-89 team (20-8) each colleted 20 regular season wins.
The program record for single-season wins is 23, set by the 1990-91 team. A-State has reached 20 total wins six times, the most recent coming in the 1997-98 campaign prior to the win Monday night.

Cosmetic laser technician Kevin Shwenk believes it is because of the short downtime that hair removal and fillers are so popular, and while cosmetic surgeon Dr Wayne Perron agrees, he reports seeing a number of brides-to-be and husbands-to-be for surgical procedures.Male chest reduction and liposuction are top of the list men�s requests he tells the Calgary Herald. �They want to make sure they are able to take their shirt off and feel comfortable around the pool and beach,� says Dr Perron. And while it is true that an engaged couple has a lot to think about in the run-up to the big day, achieving the perfect appearance seems to be taking precedence over finding caterers and booking the honeymoon. Dr Perron says he sees often meets� engaged women a year before their wedding day to discuss liposuction that can help to sculpt their dream curves before they choose their wedding dress.

This memoir chronicles a tumultuous six month period in the life of the author, beginning with his sudden hospitalization due to endocarditis, an infection of the heart, and ending with his return to a normal life. The events and the people that connect the start to the finish are many and varied, sometimes tragic and oftentimes comedic. From the first afternoon in the emergency room, the author, a career software engineer, uses his curiosity in the modern medical system and its parallels and contrasts with his own industry to keep himself interested and focused on staying alive. The result is a rare technical take on our system by a medical outsider. The story is at once highly personal and inspiring without ignoring the technical details: what's involved in carrying out and undergoing modern treatments including an angiogram, MRI, renal dialysis, and heart surgery, from the points of view of both patient and medical staff. Above all, it is an intimate travelogue where the physical distances are small while the human distances are broad, and where the unflinching support of family, friends, community and medical system converge into a success story.As Ann and Mike grew older, I played word games in the car to try to counter their boredom: I would let them know how many shakes of a ... In recent years, Mike took interest in helping me with home renova- tion projects and automotive repair .
