"Tasting rooms"is the motto chosen by lapalma for the Milan Furniture Fair of 2016 to underline once again its focus on the contract market with a wink and a nod to foodservice. Taste is the fil rouge between comfortable, elegant, sartorial collections as well as unique products, awarded with prestigious international prizes.
As a major player in the field of interior design for both the home and the contract market, lapalma is exhibiting interesting news continuing along the same path as in the last few years with coherence. Tailor-inspired work, quality-handcraft mixed with high-level industrial technology, perfect harmony between international language and completely made-in-Italy production: all of this is serving now the contract market and, in particular, foodservice. Different areas make the booth according to the art director Francesco Rota's project: the way goes through the coffee corner, the restaurant and the lounge, which are separated by functional partitions made of net, fabric or coated tubes, thus interesting even from the point of view of the material. Such membranes divide and define space, thus highlighting the main features of each product, which helps out visualizing it in a specific context.
One of the protagonists of the setup is, again, ADD, a versatile system of modular seating awarded with several acknowledgments like the Red Dot Design Award, just to mention the latest one. The system consists of a base where you can put panels, seats, seat-backs and other devices and, launched in 2014, it has been continuously improved with new equipment and possible combinations. The last step of this project is a new table whose design is at the same time essential and refined and which is characterized by a frame of aluminum profiles continuing in die-cast aluminum legs. Technically, the corner leg connects the beams forming a 90° angle, whereas the connecting leg forms a 180° angle with the beams, so that two or more tables can be jointed. This makes the table perfect for foodservice, for the office, for break-out areas and, in general, the hospitality market.
Great comfort, versatility and sober elegance have characterized lapalma since the beginning. These are also the strong points of the new eclectic chair ARCO, whose main feature is an elegant backrest of curved wood which goes around the seat until it almost disappears inside that, creating a refined aesthetical continuum. Signed by Francesco Rota, ARCO respects the principles of ergonomics: it welcomes your back providing not only lumbar support but also good side support, thanks to the uniform curving of wood. It is available both in solid wood and upholstered; it conforms to contemporary taste due to its peculiar curved backrest and it meets specific demands at home as well as in the office, in elegant high-frequency areas, bars or restaurants, being it available with several bases.
The focus on matter and surface is no doubt one of the central themes of all lapalma new products. A refined two-color choice adds value to the new series of occasional tables: JEY. Available in two different heights (45 and 50 cm) and four different tops, JEY has been designed by Francesco Rota and is perfect for the lounge area. JEY side tables combine a precious cylindrical base of marble or concrete, conveying stability to the whole, with a top of 10mm Fenix laminate in several shapes (a circle, a rounded-off square, a hexagon, a rounded-off triangle). A handle-shaped bent tube makes it possible to move the table easily, especially in high-frequency areas (like offices, hotels, bar, restaurants, etc) but also in contemporary residential contexts.
It is the automotive sector, then, that inspired the other interesting new product, namely the WIL stool by Romano Marcato. Its main feature is an original three legged base of powder-coated metal or mat chromed metal. As regards the swiveling seat, it is very comfortable due to its polyurethane foam upholstered with fabric, soft-leather or fake-leather, according to one's wish. 3 stitches highlight its broad, comfortable seating surface, which reminds of a steering wheel. Further reason for its original touch is the particular tube, whose circular cross-section becomes triangular.
The YO table, designed by Romano Marcato, has to be counted among the news too. It has been thought up specifically for the hotel industry and the contract market, both having particular demands. It is height-adjustable (from 48 to 71 cm) and fits perfectly for lounge areas next to sofas and armchairs as a convenient side table for laptops, books or personal belongings. It has a powder-coated metal base and a 50cm-top in Fenix laminate (black or white) or in wood (blanched oak, dark walnut or black open pore). This new product reflects lapalma's capability of responding to the needs of the contract market with creativity and high flexibility in the production.
The booth describes the path the company has been following in the last years, which leads to projects which combine comfort, aesthetics and functionality.
The AUKI lounge chair by Hee Welling is a perfect example for that. At IMM Cologne 2016 AUKI was exhibited in an enriched version with headrest and/ or footrest – the last one being possibly used as a small stool too. Its target is the lounge, thus AUKI perfectly fits for prestige offices, halls of luxury hotels and refined home interiors, according to the finishing of the base and that of the upholstery. When required, it comes along with coffee tables in different finishing, round or square tops with several bases such as chromed or coated 4-star bases or 4 legs of wood.
Versatility and the ability to interpret different needs characterize the Fork table too. At the base of this system of tables, designed by Tomoya Tabuchi , is the concept of "leg system", which provides the ability to expand, potentially indefinitely, many versions of a table. The leg system developed for FORK provides some common parts in die-cast aluminum: a structure that allows varying the configuration, playing on different finishes of legs or columns. The same happens with the table tops: in different shapes (round, oval, square, rectangular) and different finishes (blanched oak, dark walnut, black open pore, white lacquered, Fenix black or white). Being available in two heights (74 cm and 110 cm), Fork is ideal for foodservice, but also for the office and, in general, for high–frequency areas.
In addition to all that, lapalma is presenting further news at the Milan Furniture Fair 2016: a new model of the Miunn chair with a mild, valuable look due to 4 legs in solid wood; the restyling of Fedra in a new version with a molded shell, geometrical lines, legs of wood or simply lacquered, more modern and technical.
The focus on matter, refined finishing, texture and selected fabric is the main concern of lapalma at the Milan Furniture Fair 2016. Taste and elegance always play the lead role. Contemporary design, in fact, is becoming more and more the design of matter, because"being-able-to-do"is now the real excellence. Thus, the success of a product is a consequence of the choices made to manufacture it, the materials used and the researched combinations of colours.
If personalizing the environment with one's own identity and style is the theme of contemporary interior design, lapalma's goal is succeeding in doing that by means of advanced solutions.

So yesterday I watched the documentary, Jesus Camp, for the first time. And probably the last time too, very informational but those evangelicals are pretty eff-ing scary…or at least the ones in that movie were, I don't want to make a blanket statement about a whole religion on here but really, that film freaked me out. There was a whole scene in it where little children were crying and praying in tongues because of the sins that they had committed.
I guess all that kind of stuff seems so weird to me because I was not raised going to church. One time when my sister was in kindergarten, she came home crying because someone at school had told her about saints and that she was bad for not going to church. She was terrified that she had done something wrong and "the saints were going to get her". When I first went to college, my assigned roommate was a Catholic who spent the semester trying to convert me and telling me over and over I was going to hell. When I told my family about her at during my Thanksgiving break, you would have thought that I told them the school was making me live with a crack addicted prostitute. Don't get me wrong, my parents were pretty strict about teaching us to respect other peoples difference (religion, ethnicity etc) but nobody likes a fanatic.
Historically, both sides of my family are Catholic. I say "historically" because neither of my parents were raised in particularly religious environments either. In fact, it was my Grandma who was the most freaked out about the fact that I was living with a Catholic. I held off telling her that the girl was a Republican too, I think that fact may have convinced her to pull me out of college all together.
This post isn't all that coherent, I feel like I am rambling a bit, but the point I am trying to get it is that while I considered myself a very open minded person, I feel like I have some major prejudice against religion. There are just so many things I don't understand about it. For example, it seems like really religious people are anti-abortion but also pro-war. I don't get how they can be so against aborting a few-week-old fetus but perfectly OK with sending off men and women to die. Or OK with the fact that the soldiers are killing other people, including civilians, some of which are children. Not to mention the fact that I think they are dying in a war that has nothing to do with preserving freedom and everything to do with making money but that is a post for another time.
I also think that the repression of women is something that is pretty deeply rooted in religion. I mean, maybe I am biased, but it is pretty rare that I hear about a group of atheist talking about how America is laying ruins because family values (which I read as men in charge, women having babies and everyone being straight) have gone down the tubes. And not to mention the whole abortion thing.
I did attend a Unitarian Universalist church for a while with my fiancee. They really focus on exploring the positive aspects of different religions but (and this was focused on a lot more in the church that I went to) they are really dedicated to doing charitable works like helping the homeless, GLBT rights, the green movement etc. I liked that. It was pretty much like lets help as many people as we can and also we can get together, as a community, and try and find the good behind the whole human experience thing.
We quit going to that church but only because we moved when he transferred to a university four hours away from town we were living in. It was cool while we went, but I don't feel like I have a void in my life that needs to be filled with religion. My basic theory is that you shouldn't do actions because of the reward or punishment you will get. In other words, you should be a good person because you should be a good person, not because if you do it you'll get to go to heaven and if you don't you'll go to hell. So I try to be a good person, do as much volunteer work as possible, and try not to figure out what is going on with the guy (or girl, or entity, or entities, or lack thereof) in the sky. I figure people aren't ever going to be able to really know that until we die anyway.
Plus, I have a pretty firm belief of what I think is right and wrong, and I could never try and pretend that I think someone else's ideas about good or evil or more correct than mine. I could never go somewhere where they try and tell me that between people of the same sex is a sin or that I'm going to hell for living with N. before we are married.
But what do I know? I've written four posts on here and one advocates sex whenever you want and another one talks about how I think religion is creepy, so basically if I am mistaken about this whole "religion is wrong" thing I'm in for an eternity of pain...literally. So I wouldn't take my advice on it, figure it out for yourself. Just don't make your kids feel so guilty for their "sins" that they start to sob and pray in tongues. That's just creepy and wrong, no matter what religion you are.

"You have to fight, or there's nothing." – Marcus, The Listening Room
On the fringes of a remote desert society, a group of teenage dissidents search for fragments of earlier civilizations still ricocheting between stars. Using antiquated 21st century radio telescopes, The Listeners risk everything to connect to a past that has faded both from memory and record. On the eve of a trial that would decide their fate, The Listeners must choose to conform, or to strike out and seize the future they want to inherit.
Azimuth is proudly expanding the Emerging Company Showcase program with the generous support of Downstage in Calgary. Cardiac Theatre's premiere production of The Listening Room by Calgary Playwright, Michaela Jeffery, will bring together a team of independent artists from both Edmonton and Calgary and will perform in both cities.

"Long ago, there were beings of light and energy called Kisikookuk. These 'star people' roamed the realities looking for new experiences, new understandings and new perspectives. The Cree people believe that one of the Kisikookuk, named Atchakos Iskwew, or Star Woman, came down from the Hole in the Sky (Pakone Kisik) into our reality. From her, all people found their way here to learn, experience, gain insight and perspective and teach— and then [move] on."
– Wilfred Buck
Journey through the universe as two souls discover themselves through newfound love and kinship. This unique exploration transcends the physical world as they discover all sides of their own energy in a space beyond time. The Hole in the Sky blends traditionally rooted indigenous hoop dancing with contemporary combat and mask work.

Bite off more than you can chew
Wears many hats
Bent out of shape
In over your head…
I can't sit still is an exploration of idiomatic expressions relating to trying to do everything at once. With a compulsion to say yes and urge to remain occupied, three parts of one can very quickly diverge from focus.

Nobunaga the Fool – Episode 1 First Impressions: Off to a Good Start
As far as anime goes, there are times when I feel like I've seen it all and that few things will surprise me. It is times like those that I'm glad that there are still shows out there that will surprise me. This is certainly the case for Nobunaga the Fool. Nobunaga blends fantasy, sci-fi, and some small traces of real world history in ways that I didn't think possible. Not only that, but it does so in a way that feels smooth and natural rather than a horrible disaster. Nobunaga the Fool made it's debut on January 5th, so let's take a look and find out if 2014 is off to a good start in terms of new anime.
Nobunaga takes place on two separate worlds (although the anime refers to them as stars) that are connected to one another. The Star of the West is a medieval version of France with heavy traces of surreal fantasy mixed in. The Star of the West is ruled by King Arthur and all the nations of the land stand united. This is a sharp contrast to the Star of the East, which is more like Feudal Japan. The Star of the East is divided into countless countries and nations all fighting to gain the upper hand.
When I first started watching, I believed that travel between the two worlds wasn't possible. Of course, I found out later in the episode that that wasn't the case. Nobunaga the Fool appears to add in a great deal of sci-fi into this fantasy/historical mix. Some clans on the Star of the East have access to piloted mech suits, known as War Armor, while the Star of the West has more sophisticated mech suits and star ships that can cross the void between the two worlds. At present, it is unknown how much travel or trade occurs between the two worlds.
One of the main characters of the show is Nobunaga. He is the heir to his clan but has an infamous reputation for being an eccentric character. This is why he is referred to as the fool since many people in his clan don't take him seriously. Nobunaga starts off seeming to be lazy while having a devil may care attitude about everything. By the end of the episode, Nobunaga suddenly decides that he wants to change the world in light of one of his clan outposts getting massacred by an opposing clan. It may be sudden, but at the very least the reason for the change is believable.
Nobunaga's clan understandably cannot compete against battalions of War Armor when they do not appear to have that kind of technology for themselves. So if he wants his clan to survive he will have to find some way to either counter the other nations or build some sort of defense to prevent future battles. Although this particular scene decides to use the old and overused "War is Bad" theme through visuals and mood, as we see the destruction on a battlefield that was simply a clan testing the waters for a possible invasion in the future. At the very least, they took this borderline cliché and managed to make it work out for them.
Over on the Star of the West is a young woman named Jeanne. She's treated hostilely by the other villages as she is allegedly "Demon Possessed," but aside from Jeanne stating that she can hear voices it isn't exactly clear how she came to be "Possessed" or why everyone else knows about it. I do wonder if this show will be drawing inspirations from the historical Joan of Arc. I noticed elements of Joan of Arc not only in the setting of the Star of the West but in Jeanne's character as well. Even the prologue happens to be in the year that Joan of Arc met her unfortunate end. After receiving what appears to be this show's equivalent to a tarot card, Jeanne decides that she wants to go the Star of the East to find the person from her dream who happens to look a lot like Nobunaga. She is accompanied by a man named Leonardo da Vinci, no seriously that is his actual name.
There are a lot of things about Leonardo da Vinci that go unexplained in this episode. If he really is a loyal servant of King Arthur, why would he make an unauthorized departure from the star ship with his experimental war armor? That's clearly going to land him in a lot of hot water, given that the ship starts firing at them. I don't see what he has to gain from deciding to expedite the journey down to the Star of the East all because Jeanne heard a voice that tells her it is time to "open the way." And how does Leonardo even know that Jeanne is hearing the voice in the first place? He dodges her question when she asks him about it earlier, so Leonardo is hiding something.
On the same line of things to be revealed, it is heavily implied that Nobunaga is some kind of future King that will save both worlds. Although it is unclear as to what he will be saving them from as it doesn't seem like the two worlds are at war with one another or anything. Yet Nobunaga can use some sort of massive War Armor (that looks more like a Gundam) that is being developed by Leonardo, yet another elephant in the room courtesy of one of the most important people from the Renaissance. The suit claims that it can only be used by the Savior King, and since Nobunaga can use the War Armor . . . well it goes without saying that means he's probably going to be this supposed Savior King.
Like any show, the first episode of an anime will make or break the series. Despite some flaws and not so well explained moments, I think that Nobunaga the Fool is off to a good start. Although I felt it could have done without those brief seconds of showing the viewer characters that we've yet to be introduced to saying trite lines like: "The time has come" or "The fool has awakened." Either way, I'll be following this series as new episodes come out and for now I'd recommend giving Nobunaga the Fool a try.

SAN DIEGO, June 2, 2017 – Three years ago, Adonis Stevenson was expected to make short work of Andrzej Fonfara of Poland in their light heavyweight contest in Montreal.
Stevenson blasted Fonfara halfway through the first round with a powerful left hand and it seemed the predictions would come true, showing the form that made Stevenson 2013 Fighter of the Year.
Fonfara hadn't read the script. He took some serious punishment, but returned the favor and knocked a shocked Stevenson down in the ninth round for only the second time in his career. Stevenson came back to life in the tenth, but he couldn't overcome the desire and the heart of Fonfara. The fight went the distance and Stevenson won on the scorecards, a moral victory for Fonfara. At the time, Fonfara waved off polite congratulations, saying, "I don't have congratulations, I'll work hard and train hard and I will be back."
Stevenson (28-1, 23 KOs) and Fonfara (29-4, 17 KOs) are back as promised Saturday night at Montreal's Bell Centre. Showtime Boxing will carry the bout and the undercard between Eleider Alvarez and Jean Pascal starting at 9 pm ET/6 pm PT.
In the three years since they met, the longed for bout between Stevenson and light heavyweight powerhouse Sergey Kovalev never got made. Instead, Stevenson had just four fights, none against the elite of the strong light heavyweight division. Fonfara faced five opponents, including Julio Caesar Chavez Jr. in a strong TKO performance, Nathan Cleverly by decision, and a faded Chad Dawson by TKO. The single loss was a shocking first round knockout by Long Island union worker Joe Smith Jr., who's now set to face Sullivan Barrera in July.
Time is not on Stevenson's side at age 39. Fonfara is ten years younger with two more professional fights and 50 more rounds under his belt than Stevenson. Age doesn't have to be a defining factor; Wladimir Klitschko put on his best performance in ten years at age 41 against Anthony Joshua. But a seasoned boxer can suddenly look old overnight, we've seen this as well.
Fonfara is now training with Virgil Hunter, trainer to light heavyweight Andre Ward. Hunter likes to work with smart fighters, and Fonfara fits the mold. He'll need to be smart and not expose himself to Stevenson's most powerful weapon, the overhand left hook which is the Mother of All Bombs when it's working. Fonfara is at his best when he can wear an opponent out and take him into deep water, particularly an opponent like Stevenson who's been criticized for a lack of stamina in later rounds.
Stevenson says he's in superb condition and ready to roll. "I'm ready because I know Fonfara is dangerous," said Stevenson in this week's final news conference. "We're not underestimating him. I've prepared for everything, everything he brings in the ring I'll be ready for it."
Stevenson says he's training for the knockout, because "Emanuel Steward always told me 'knockouts sell.' When I get in the ring I'm going for a knockout. It's not an option for me to go 12 rounds." In the next breath, Stevenson declared he can go the full 12 rounds. "I train for 12 rounds, and if it goes 12 rounds he's going to get punishment the whole time, but I definitely am going for the knockout."
Stevenson said he knows Fonfara is training hard to take his WBC light heavyweight title. "I know he's a tough fighter, and I know it's not going to be easy for me." Stevenson saiid despite training with Hunter, Fonfara "can't change his style right now … after a couple of rounds it will be the same old Fonfara."
Fonfara says he's a smarter, stronger fighter now and he's learned more from Virgil Hunter since their first fight together against Chad Dawson last year. He says he likes fighting southpaws, and he's ready for "the best" Stevenson.
"I can't make the same mistakes I did in our first fight. I must fight much smarter," said Fonfara. Fonfara says he must start strong and avoid Stevenson's sole weapon, the left hand. "He's the champ and he's a good fighter, but his boxing isn't amazing. He's not easy, but he only has basic boxing skills. We must cut his left hand and be ready to throw my right. We need to control him," said Fonfara.
Fonfara is motivated by the possibility of winning his first world title. "A world title is the only thing I've never had. I've imagined raising my hand after the fight and becoming the new WBC champion."
Everything has to go according to plan for Fonfara. He cannot make any mistakes against Stevenson, or he'll pay the price. Stevenson can get lucky with the left hand and change a fight in an instant. But it's not a gimme for Stevenson despite the oddsmakers who heavily favor him.
The deeper the fight goes, the better for Fonfara. He will want to work Stevenson to the body and tire him out, then go for the late round stoppage. Stevenson will want the exact opposite. Whoever can impose his game plan has the advantage. If it goes to the cards, there are two Mexican judges and one Canadian judge, which helps Fonfara but might not overcome the hometown advantage.
Stevenson weighed in at 173.6 pounds; Fonfara weighed in at 174.2 pounds on Friday.
If Stevenson wins, he claims he'd like to unify titles with the winner of the Sergey Kovalev – Andre Ward rematch. Before this happens, he'll likely face the winner of the co-main event. Eleider Alvarez (22-0, 11 KOs) of Colombia is undefeated and currently the WBC's mandatory challenger for Stevenson. He'll need a win against former champion Jean Pascal (31-4-1, 18 KOs), his toughest opponent to date. Alvarez is coming off a fifth round knockout of Lucien Bute in February. His most impressive win might be his decision in 2015 against the tough Isaac Chilemba.
"I didn't wait 18 months to become a world champion for nothing," said Alvarez. "I won't give a victory to Pascal … I'm probably in the toughest division in boxing right now, but once Stevenson comes I'll be ready."
Pascal of Montreal via Haiti has never ducked a tough fight and had several noteworthy victories against Bute, Bernard Hopkins and Chad Dawson, but he took two beatings from Kovalev, the most recent in January 2016. His only fight since then was a lay-up fight in December at a small Quebec venue. Pascal knows winning is his only option.
"I've been in some battles, but my tank is still full," said Pascal. "I've faced way better opposition than him. I've been there, done that on the big stage. This is a big, big fight, and I've been here before. That's the thing with experience – you can't buy experience. You have to live it, and I've lived it many times."
Pascal's best days are behind him. Alvarez knows he has a chance to prove himself with a signature win. He should get it. Both fighters weighed in Friday at 174.5 pounds.

Newt Gingrich: Palin's Comments Are a Signal to Conservatives to Vote For Me
The Politico caught up with Newt Gingrich last night after Sarah Palin's endorsement on Hannity:
"We're thrilled – I just talked to Todd and we're just thrilled," he told POLITICO as he headed into his hotel here for the night. "It's a signal to every conservative that the one conservative vote that's effective is to Newt Gingrich and that's very helpful."
Palin's expression of support, Gingrich said, is part of a rush of support he believes will power him to victory on Saturday – and from there, into the candidate who will beat Mitt Romney to the GOP nomiantion.
"Lots of different things are working together to help us," Gingrich said.
That remains to be seen — polls still show Romney ahead, and he has organizational and financial advantages, if not demographic ones, in the state. He also still is facing a split conservative field with Rick Perry and Rick Santorum both peeling off votes.

Rules for the use of personal data in electoral campaigns
On July 2016, the France's National Data Protection Commission (CNIL) issued a formal notice to Microsoft Cooperation urging Microsoft to make Windows 10 to comply with French data protection law. The CNIL criticized the company for tree actions:
a) tracking its users web browsing habits without their consent,
b) failing to offer proper security protections, and
c) delivering targeted advertising materials without the user's consent.
This notification does not seek to prohibit Microsoft from using its services to advertise but seeks to enable users to make their choice freely, having been properly informed of their rights.
Consequently, the CNIL gave the company three months to comply with its orders to stop collecting personal data without the consent of those users concerned. Otherwise, the company may impose any applicable sanctions of up to 150,000 euros.

Full Name
Zeppelin Ronny James Dio Taane
Daily Post story here
A Korean tourist was forced to massage a Taupo man who indecently assaulted and robbed her.
Zeppelin Ronny James Dio Taane, 20, pleaded guilty in the Rotorua District Court yesterday to indecent assault and robbery. The police summary of facts stated a 27-year-old tourist had walked to Taupo Bungy about 10am on March 22 this year when Taane struck up a conversation with her. She declined his offer to show her the way to Huka Falls and the Aratiatia Dam. As she walked up County Rd a short time later, Taane called out that she had missed the track.
Despite her objections, he insisted on escorting her. He told her about Maori massage and asked her about Korean massage before asking her, on an isolated part of the track, to perform Korean massage on his neck. At his insistence, she massaged his neck and shoulders and Taane then massaged her.
The woman kept asking him to stop. However, Taane removed his top and jeans and insisted on another massage before lifting up her top and rubbing her bare back. He pushed her hands onto her shoulders to stop her leaving. She began screaming and he pushed her to the ground, pulling her shorts to her knees.
She continued screaming and kicking and Taane pushed her away, taking her digital camera and cellphone before hugging her, apologising and running away. Disorientated and lost, she called out to two walkers. A walker and two mountainbikers chased Taane who ran off into thick bush. He was found later by a police dog handler, pretending to be asleep. He denied the attack at the time. The stolen items were found a short distance away. Yesterday Judge Maree McKenzie remanded Taane on bail to appear for sentencing on June 20.

How This Drug Works
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers or ARBs
Angiotensin-Receptor Blockers, or ARBs, help relax blood vessels and adjust body fluid balance.
Angiotensin-Receptor Blockers, or ARBs, help relax blood vessels and adjust body fluid balance. Angiotensin II is a hormone that attaches to receptor sites in the blood vessel wall and causes blood vessels to become more narrow. ARBs attach to the same receptor sites as Angiotensin II. When ARBs bind to the blood vessel wall they block angiotensin II from binding at the receptor site. This keeps the blood vessels open and allows more blood to flow through the vessels.

San Pedro de Atacama provided a sunny, warm change from the bitterly cold, though beautiful, Bolivian salt flats and a welcome lightness from living in La Paz – the edge was honed and I felt… lighter, safer, better. After a long overdue shower, I emerged clean and I wore a strappy dress for the first time since Panama. It felt glorious to have the sun on my back again and with my departure from South America before me, it felt like I was on holidays. And free.
After lunch with my French friends from Uyuni, I said goodbye to them – they were going on a roadtrip that night to Santiago – and spent the afternoon with Lisa, Lara and Gisele drinking cervesas and ice cold Chilean pinot grigio in the sunshine. We were all staying in the same hostel – in the same room even – so we went back there and listened to music in the courtyard and drank more and talked about everything. Like in so many places before, firm friendships were made at lightening speed: joy shared, secrets revealed and discussed, problems solved. It was so great to meet them. We went for some food and then to a bar to hear some live music and then got home just after midnight – from standing by an active volcano and bathing in thermal springs at dawn in Bolivia to drinks and music in Chile that evening, it had been a wonderful day.
Still with the air of being on holiday, we had a lazy day the next day, saying goodbye to Gisele who was taking a bus south to see more of Chile. Lara and Lisa told me about their plans to go to Iguazu falls - I was toying with the idea of meeting some other lovely friends in the Argentinian wine country or even going down to Valparaíso in Chile, where I'd been dreaming of going to since I first found out about it. By that stage, though, I had very little time and I wanted to see the falls before leaving so I chose to stay with the girls and we jumped on an 18 hour overnight bus to Salta that evening, on route to the falls in a couple of days time.
We arrived in Salta at sundown the next day and, exhausted, we just went out for dinner and went back to the hostel, the girls to sleep and me to work, which ended up a very late night of half working, half drinking beers with the hostel manager and talking about travel and Bolivia, where he was from. The next morning we went for a wander around Salta – such a beautiful little city – and had some lunch in the square. We'd organized some horseriding for the afternoon and were picked up by a tall burly Argentinian gaucho and driven an hour or so out of town to a ranch. We trailed up through the mountains on horseback and the views, the landscape, the smells, the colours, the heat from the ground, the trees, the flowers, the bushes all reminded me of the Blue Mountains, Australia, my birthplace. It was a slow ride: meditative and quietly joyful. At the end we were allowed to gallop around n abandoned cornfield – and I laughed and squealed like an excited child and took off.
At dusk, our burly Argentinian drove us back to the hostel for a BBQ, and what a BBQ it was. Some of the very best steak I've ever had, tasting smoky and salty and delicious, with roast sweet potato and salad on the side, and dark red wine to accompany it. It was bliss and I wanted everyone I loved to be there experiencing it. All our hostel was there around the table and we ate and drank and joked and finally went to a Simpsons-themed bar - yes – in downtown Salta, where I tried my first Fernet, one of Argentina's favourite cocktails and a horrible concoction of a minty spirit and coca cola. Really, the horror: never inflict your mouth with it. But the night was fun and we got home in the wee hours.
The next day, after more wandering around Salta, we packed, loaded our backpacks on and took another overnight bus, this time to Puerto Iguazu. It was steaming hot and sunny the following afternoon when we arrived. I'd been chatting to some filmmakers on the bus who were from there and had enthused about how glorious the falls were and I was very excited about seeing it in real life. We went out for more steak and came back to the hostel early in preparation for the next day. Our fourth dorm mate was a lovely English girl, Rachel, who was travelling by herself so we all hung out together, chatting about our respective travels and planning on going to the falls the next day. Rachel mentioned that while she was in northern Peru, she'd experienced an express kidnapping after getting off a night bus early in the morning. The taxi driver had taken her to a remote place, others jumped in, robbed her of all but her passport – they even took her shoes – and left her by the roadside. The poor woman – although she continued travelling and spoke about it with some separation as it had been two months before – so, also, a courageous woman. While I'd been in La Paz, everyone had told me about how common express kidnappings were there and it completely terrified me, so much so, I never wanted to take a taxi at night, or really at all, without a friend with me. These things happen though, and then the journey continues.
The next morning, we set off for Iguazu and upon entering the park to it, noticed that it was like being in a theme park – a very well organized and signposted theme park. But it was beautiful beautiful and when we got to the falls themselves, I could only stare in awe at how immense and spectacular nature is. Again. We saw it from every direction – below, above – and took a ride on the open-topped boat that goes slightly under the falls. I got completely, whole body, whole dress wet and we were all sobbing with laughter and delight by the end. We toured the falls again and managed to see the many spectrums of rainbows that were formed by the moisture – such a wonder. Such an amazing wonder.
We slowly made our way home and, as it was our last night all together – Lisa and Lara were off to Brazil, Rachel to Salta and I to Buenos Aires the next day – we had dinner and then went dancing. It was such a fun night – and so great to dance and sing along to the Spanish pop songs I'd been hearing so much of along the way.
We said goodbye the next day after a very big, very lazy brunch and I jumped on my final overnight bus of the journey to Buenos Aires. I had loved the city so much the last time I was there – on my first solo adventure – as I'd met some dear friends, including Allison, my fellow co-founder of Yes, Let's.
When I got there the next day, it was cold and rainy and all I wanted was some food and some contemplation time. I had only two more days left before returning to London and the reality of that prospect was daunting. I had come away on this adventure searching for some new truths and new paths and in many ways, I had found them. Returning to London meant there were things I would need to face, actions I'd need to take and ties to strengthen and to sever and I didn't feel ready. But I was in Buenos Aires and thankful for that small pocket of time to be truly alone to wonder about those things. To be alone in a city where no one knows who you are is a wonderful feeling. You can be invisible, anonymous and maintain a disconnection from anyone and anything until you're ready to become visible again. And by the time that happened the next morning, I was ready. Over breakfast, I bumped into Jay, the sweet American bartender from the English Pub in La Paz who was in town on his way to Patagonia for an environmental course. It was great to see him and talk about living in La Paz - we planned to have a wander around the city a little later that day. I then spent some time writing and while doing so met James, a special needs teacher from London, who had heard about this deal in La Cabrera, one of the best steakhouses in Argentina and interestingly, the mother restaurant of the place my parents and I went to in Lima for my mum's birthday. We planned to go together with Jay and meet at 3pm in the bar. While waiting, we struck up a conversation with Amy, a conference organizer from Texas, who decided to come with us. A new little crew, my last one.
We took a long walk to Palermo, weaving through the streets, chatting and admiring the gorgeous city and arrived at La Cabrera just before 7pm – from 7pm till 8pm, as the deal goes, tables get 40% off their bill: perfect for travellers who had been on the road too long. It was such a delicious meal – rib eye for me, and an assortment of beautifully presented, tasty condiments to accompany it. We went for more wine afterwards and stayed up very late meeting more and more fellow travellers until it was time for bed.
I woke up late the next day, missed my transfer and made a mad dash to the airport, only narrowly not missing my flight. I got a seat – I always travel standby – and was away, flying back to London, to everything I had left behind. I had experienced so many things and had been changed because of them - so while I was returning to a familiar landscape, it was daunting to consider how I would fit back into it. And if I really wanted to. But that was something to consider after I landed.
What was to have been a three-month trip had become almost six and it was the greatest adventure of my life thus far. But there are more to be had. It will continue.

A warm and dry weekend currently on-going. Many locations will be having closing day festivities on Sunday and the weather should be warm with some increasing clouds. A chance of a few showers on Monday with weak moisture streaming in.
The more prominent system will arrive on Tuesday with snow developing in the high elevations by afternoon. This is not a particularly cold system, so snow will be dense in nature. How much we see is still in doubt. GEFS ensembles still all over the place with anywhere from 0.2″ to 1.5″ of liquid:
I'd say the most likely scenario is 0.5-1.0″ of liquid which would be about 5-10″ of snowfall in the Cottonwoods. The time of this system would drop the snow Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday evening. This probably means the best skiing/boarding would be Wednesday morning, but it could shift to Tuesday afternoon if the front pushes in a bit earlier.
It looks like another system will push in on Thursday with mountain snow showers continuing, although accumulations should be minor.
Remember, this week, the only resorts open are Brighton and Snowbird. Or, you can venture into the backcountry….

What is Recruit Smarter?
What Will We Do?
Find out about the Recruit Smarter Program of Work and what we will do.
The Latest Research
Read through the latest studies and research on unconscious bias.
For Job Applicants
Learn how we are working together to develop and maintain best practice in the recruitment processes.
Recruit Smarter - A better way to do business
Recruit Smarter is a Victorian Government initiative to target unconscious bias in recruitment processes.
The initiative brings together organisations across the public, private, non-government and research sectors in an Australian-first, multi-sector cooperative effort to find ways to address this issue.
What is unconscious bias?
Unconscious bias occurs when unintentional assumptions are made about job applicants based on features such as their age, gender, culture, religion or other background.
Bias is often founded on pre-existing social stereotypes and mindsets, and can lead to a disregard of an individual's unique set of skills. Unconscious judgements, decisions and assessments, whether biased or not, are the product of knowledge developed through socialisation, education, and life experiences, filtered through religion, gender, sexuality, age or ability.
What are the effects of unconscious bias?
Unconscious bias can have a broad reaching influence on hiring practices, placing some applicants at a disadvantage to others.
Experiencing bias
Recent research conducted by management consulting firm McKinsey & Company indicates that organisations in the top quartile for racial and ethnic diversity are 35% more likely to have financial returns above their national industry medians. Other research has shown that teams with a wide spread of diversity outperform more homogeneous teams. The stories below highlight the experiences of Victorians who have encountered unconscious bias in the workplace.

That should do it for you.
I have an old Vantec 620A that has got to be 4-6 years old, old as dirt - and it's still chugging along fine and as long as I don't put more than 5 HDDs on it I can O/C my 3 cored X3 455 OK. I paid $120 for that PSU that long ago - and it's only 520W continuous and it's still quiet. Money well spent is the power brick that makes or breaks your machines main stability factor.

Remember this blog post a while back about that blank sheet of paper?
This is the story of what came out of that blank sheet of paper.
A while back while grocery shopping in Whole Foods, I noticed a brand of grilling sauces which had some interesting flavors, but their branding and packaging was not so good and tasty. I made a mental note that day while purchasing one of their flavors, that I would work on a pitch to them as soon as possible, to elevate their brand and presentation on the outside of their bottles. Once I tried the product, I became that much more determined to do this, since the sauce was really good. Bourbon and Bacon was the flavor, if you must know.
Here's the not so good and tasty part, starting with their logo(s) and existing package. Why there are two logos I have no clue, but that inconsistency is part of the problem. The top logo you see here is the one that exists on the packaging and the bottom logo is what they have on their website.
Southern City Flavors is another one of those cases, like Elixir, as discussed here, where the product is really good, but their branding and presentation of their products is no where near the quality that it needs to be. A pitch project like this always gets me very excited, because I know we can help a company with their branding, that will make an impact in the marketplace and not only elevate their brand, but the customer experience and interaction with the brand.
So, back to that blank sheet of paper. That sheet turned into several, as it always does when we start a new project. Hours and hours and hours were spent staring at those sheets of paper as I thought, conceived and labored over sketches and ideas scribbled down on those pages. From the very beginning of something like this, as each idea is formed, I start getting a sense of the look I want these sketches to have in final form. Some of these ideas came very quickly, within minutes. Some took weeks. Some didn't make it past the sketch phase, as hard as I tried to make them work. That's how it goes sometimes. After a few weeks of working on this, I asked Kristi to help with the project, since I had an idea for a logo and package design that would require her special, custom hand-lettering and illustration skills. Below are some of the sketches we both contributed to the project.
After the sketch phase was complete, and our ideas were refined, tweaked and some eliminated all-together, we started looking at fonts, and here is a collection of some of the fonts we looked at for the various logos we came up with.
When all of the smoke settled from the font exploration, and matching the right type to the marks etc. we had sketched out above, we wound up with four logos. Three were very clean and sophisticated options that I designed, along with a vintage option that was beautifully hand-drawn and lettered by Kristi. The next step was do come up with color palettes for each one and then begin the designs of the bottle labels that we would present for each logo idea. Also during this time we picked out various Bella® label stocks from Neenah and had a local printer output our label designs on those label stocks, to give us the highest level of professionalism and realism in our presentation.
Here are the results that came out of that initial blank sheet of paper.
LOGO and PACKAGING CONCEPT #1–Since the company is local to middle Tennessee, my first logo idea was to have the state shape and a flame interact somehow, that would symbolize local grilling sauce/condiment company. I wanted the color palette to be a take on the red, white and blue colors of our American flag, but with a twist—a more orange/red for the flame and a deep navy for the rest. All-American, but with a sophisticated southern twist. This logo and packaging design is strong, simple and bold, while being very inviting and appropriate for a southern company. The fact that it is so clean and simple will help it stand out in a visually and physically crowded marketplace for these kinds of products.
We also came up with an alternate to this idea, where we kept the logo but did a warmer color palette for it and changed the fonts for the flavor. Changing just those things made a big difference and we wound up liking both versions so much that we included both in the presentation.
LOGO and PACKAGING CONCEPT #2–For this concept I came up with a seal type of look for the logo that was super clean and simple, with the flame carrying over from the previous concept and acting as the lone mark within the logo. For the label, I designed a die-cut solution that went around the top half of the logo, creating a similar but more interesting label shape than what the company currently has on its packaging. I also created some cow and chicken icons to represent foods that the sauce would be ideal on. This logo and packaging design is also simple and sophisticated, which is quite the contrast to so many in the marketplace that are way too busy.
LOGO and PACKAGING CONCEPT #3–This is a vintage inspired concept, that Kristi illustrated and lettered by hand, that turned out beautifully. It has a casual sophistication to it that we really love and was a hit way back in the sketch phase of the project. For the label, she created a die cut shape that followed the angle on top of the logo, which created a great environment for the logo to shine in. The rest of the label design consists of some textured paper in the background as well as being printed on a very textured label stock, and hand-lettering for the remainder of the package information.
LOGO and PACKAGING CONCEPT #4–The final concept here is another vintage inspired look, with 3D type and some flourishes to give it a sophisticated, southern vintage look. The label for this concept is also die cut, with simple angles that follow the top and bottom of the logo and each of the panels on the label have a very nice, subtle background color anchored in some light rule lines, to add that much more sophistication to the look.
Now that you have seen the work, let's talk about the next step. Introducing ourselves to the company, who still at this point doesn't know we exist. I drafted an email to the owners of Southern City Flavors, and introduced us as big fans of their products and that we had a concern that the quality of the product inside the bottle is not represented by the presentation of the outside of the bottle. I also provided the pdf of the work above to wet their appetite for a more formal presentation of the designs, as well as some links to great articles about branding to support why we knew this rebrand was the right thing for Southern City Flavors to pursue.
But being right is only part of the equation. You have to be right at the right time. A week went by after sending the initial email, and I followed up with another, and this time I heard from Mike Weeks, the principal owner of the company, who told me that he has been working on a complete branding change for the last four months, and that the new packaging is just now starting to get out to the market.
Being right at the wrong time is not a pleasant experience. We were really disappointed to read that email from Mike about him doing the very thing we had worked so hard on, and almost to the day of when we contacted him was rolling it out to the market. Timing is a key element in pitching for new business, because unless you have a relationship with someone at the company you are pitching, you don't know if they are doing the very thing you are suggesting they do to enhance and improve their brand. We didn't have an existing relationship here, but that didn't stop us, because the old ways of just telling someone you can do a great job for them while showing your portfolio don't seem to work. You have to wow them from the very beginning by visually proving yourself worthy of their investment of what their brand needs.
So what are some take aways from being right at the wrong time?
1. Our work is strong and so much better than what they have. We are proud of our efforts and know that any of our designs are a vast improvement over what has been representing their brand.
2. It was a joy to work on this project, regardless of outcome. We select companies to pitch to because they have the types of products or services that we love and are passionate about, and offer the kinds of work that we really want to be doing, and we continue to do this with absolute freedom to put our best efforts into these projects for their good and for ours.
3. We have peace of mind in knowing that we were right to choose Southern City Flavors, because at some point Mike saw the need to rebrand his company and packaging, based on his own intuition, the input of others, or both. We still choose to look at this as a wine for us, because we selected a company that needed help, and though our particular designs will not be on store shelves, the work will be on our website and we will promote it for our own benefit to grow our business and attract other clients in that same industry.

Washington County, MD
To prove their commitment to medical excellence, the Washington County Health System (WCHS) has begun construction of a new 500,000+ square foot, six-story regional medical center. The chosen name for this new facility is Meritus Regional Medical Center.
Prior to construction, Triad was contracted to provide multiple phases of geotechnical engineering services. The initial phase included performing a detailed geophysical survey consisting of electrical resistivity imaging to delineate anomalous areas that are more prone to sinkhole activity. This geophysical survey was one of the first in house geophysical projects performed by our Winchester Office. The geophysical survey was supplemented by drilling over 60 test borings at strategic locations based on the anticipated structure footprint and results of the geophysical survey. The drilling work was performed by our Winchester office with their CME 55 drill rig. Upon completion of the first two phases of evaluation, several foundation alternatives were developed and additional drilling was performed. The additional drilling included three percussion hammer air-track probes at each specific column foundation. Due to the irregular nature of the underlying limestone, the probes encountered competent limestone bedrock at highly variable depths ranging from less than 10 feet to over 130 feet below grade. The highly variable bedrock surface created very difficult drilling conditions both during the test borings and subsequent air-track probes.
In April of 2008 construction began and Triad was contracted by WCHS to perform the necessary inspection services for the construction of the Regional Medical Center. Starting in June, several caisson drill rigs started on the 220 drilled piers required for support of the new bed tower portion of the hospital. Due to the difficult drilling conditions and steeply sloping bedrock, the drilling contractor had up to 6 drill rigs running at one time to complete the foundation work within the tight time schedule. Due to the size of the structure and difficult subsurface conditions, numerous construction hurdles presented themselves during the early phases of construction and had to be dealt with swiftly and economically. Some of the issues consisted of remediation of sinkholes along foundation lines, cement and lime stabilization of wet clayey soils and design assistance for the placement of over 20 feet of Air Modified Controlled Low Strength Material behind an unsupported concrete wall prior to placement of structural steel and upper level supporting structural slabs.
With foundations finally in place, steel erection and masonry wall construction began in December and the project has continued at a very rapid pace to be completed and occupied by the end of 2010. The Hagerstown Office of Triad is continuing to provide inspection services under the leadership of our QC department management and seasoned field technicians. Our technicians have performed and coordinated various inspection services consisting of pre-blast surveys, concrete testing, compaction testing, sinkhole remediation, caisson inspection and structural steel inspection on the project. Our Winchester office has also provided detailed structural steel inspection services.

Your Voice -- Readers Comments
What Interests You
We always want to hear what topics are of the most interest. This month Bob Wells, Principal at the Lennox Group wrote: "Great issue, you two! I'm particularly int'd in WiMax and its variants, and your reporting on it was very useful."
Christine Watson emailed to say: "I read with interest your recent article on the Vidi-go trend. I did hope to clarify one point the article would lead people to believe that DIRECTVs TOTAL CHOICE MOBILE package will be available at some time in the future. In fact, we at KVH have been working with DIRECTV and providing mobile satellite TV to automobiles since September 2003".
We also heard from a reader requesting "more coverage of European companies please!"
Municipal Wireless
Jonathan Baltuch sent us a copy of an article he wrote, titled "Municipal High Speed Wireless Means Business". It reflects his remarks about Municipal Wireless during a panel at the International Economic Development Conference, an invitation-only gathering of top management from cities and communities all over the US. In it he describes how representatives from dozens of communities were unanimous in saying that "their community was either planning for or looking to develop ubiquitous wireless systems."
Home Networking
Rob Adler wrote to say: "Yours is an important one-stop publication if you want to keep up with home networking. For example, one market that we are following is UWB. I think that the eventual home network will have both a wire line backbone, and wireless for shorter distances." He also commented: "I recently switched to the web version (of the Broadband Home Report). The downside of reading on the web is that you can easily miss a page."
Thanks to these readers and all of you who have taken the time over the past years to let us know how you reacted to our stories, what you'd like to see covered and anything else you think might be of interest.

I've been injured, should I pursue litigation?
Whether or not you should file a personal injury lawsuit depends heavily on the circumstances of your accident and injury.

However, you should be sure to discuss your situation with an experienced NYC personal injury attorney before taking any action. Call

Victims lose the ability to recover for their injuries if they do not file their case within the statute of limitations. For instance, many injury cases have a three year statute of limitations, which may be subject to certain exceptions. However, for actions against a municipality in New York, a notice of claim usually must be filed within 90 days of an injury.

You don't want to discover that you have signed away important rights, failed to include important protections, or failed to receive what you expected. Hiring an attorney before you sign any contract is less expensive than hiring a lawyer after you have signed, and something goes wrong. Hiring a lawyer is also extremely beneficial in regards to getting advice on tax consequences, making sure that your rights are protected, to make sure that the contract is not overly favoring one side over the other, and to advice you on other fields of interest that the contract may touch upon though may not mention so clearly.
