The highlight of summer always seems to involve wading in a mountain stream. At least it used to, there have been quite a few more recent summers that didn't involve mountain streams at all. Then came this summer.
We did manage to go on the one hike this year. When we happened upon an ideal wading spot I called a halt and started stripping off socks and shoes immediately. The first three kids made their way down the bank and into the water before I got the chance.
I had to unstrap Duke from the baby carrier, remove both our shoes and roll up my pant legs before I could follow.
Finally I got my feet onto the pebbled bottom of the tributary we'd picked to wade in and found I'd already had enough. The quickest refuge from the frigid water was a rock just one step further along. I got myself up onto that thing as fast as I could and there I was stuck. I have apparently acclimated to Arizona's climate better than I'd realized. In so much that a stream fed primarily by runoff from the winter's snows was too much for me.
I stayed on my rock for quite a while trying to work up courage for the two step trek back tot he bank. I'd taken Duke with me out to my tiny makeshift island with the idea that I'd dip his wee toes in the pleasant stream. Instead I passed him back to The Mr and the bank where those toes could enjoy warm sand as opposed to freshly melted glacial runoff.
The other kids though, seemed to enjoy the adventure just as much as I remember doing. Ziz and Enz did tend to stick to the rocks hurrying through the water only as it was necessary to gain access to bigger and better rocks.
At this point I feel I should note that The Mr was a way better sport about the cold water than I was, and wading in it wasn't even his idea.
And now, because I can't think of a good conclusion for this post, and because I had a hard time narrowing them down, here's another handful of photos from that day.

Question: I recently changed the engine oil . I noticed that there is a small layer of foam on top of the oil level in the sight glass when I switch off the engine. The layer disappears after a while. I have done 4 rides (20km each) and it does it every time. Any thoughts?
Spectro Oils Answer: The foam you see forming on the top of the oil is normal, and does not in any way effect performance. When oil is cool it tends to produce a slight foam on the surface until operating temp is reached. As the oil temperature rises (normal operating temp 170-220 degrees F), the oil viscosity becomes lighter and the bubbles trapped on top will "pop" and the foam you see will disappear. The film strength of the oil at colder temps will trap air at the top of the oil reservoir, this is why you see a small layer of foam. This is different from oil "foaming" which is air trapped in the entire body of oil and is bad for oil and engine performance. Oil saturated with air will cause "cavitations", erratic oil pressure, oil overheating and possible starvation of oil to engine components. Poor quality oils are prone to foaming when hot or stressed. Spectro Performance Oils.

An affectionate disposition not only makes the mind more peaceful
and calm, but it affects our body in a positive way too. On the
other hand, hatred, jealousy and fear upset our peace of mind, make
us agitated and affect our body adversely. Even our body needs peace
of mind and is not suited to agitation. This shows that an
appreciation for peace of mind is in our blood.

Unless you're an engineer or a solar power enthusiast, your first question on reading that headline probably wasn't,
"So what is the magnetron sputtering technique in question?"
More likely, you thought,
"What on earth even is magnetron sputtering?"
But if you're someone with an interest in the future of photovoltaic solar as an alternative energy source, you owe it to yourself to learn a thing or two about sputter deposition.
Take Kendall Combs — a man who's stoked about magnetron sputtering these days. Why? Because he's general manager of Solar Gard Saint-Gobain, a glass manufacturer that recently spent millions to install a roll-to-roll sputtering line at its San Diego manufacturing facility.
"We had to construct an entire new building to house it," he gushes. "No one's allowed in there except or our engineers. They've only let me in a couple of times."
Magnetron sputtering is indeed a high-tech affair. But it's not some secretive new technique from the bowels of Silicon Valley — it's a well-tread method that's been around since the 1970s. It's only now that magnetron sputtering is being used to its potential in the production of photovoltaic solar panels. And that's the exciting part.
Essentially, magnetron sputtering is a way of putting a very uniform, very thin layer of material onto an object. It's used when manufacturers need to cover something with a layer of metal thinner than a paint or coating. There are a few ways of going about doing this, and one of them is magnetron sputtering.
Magnetron sputtering works by forcing the molecules from the source metal onto the surface of an object using a powerful magnetic field. Both the source and the object (referred to as the target and substrate respectively) are placed in a vacuum chamber together, where they are exposed to inert gas. The material is then blasted with a high voltage charge to create plasma, which slams into the material and forces ions to eject and fly onto the object. This is called physical vapour deposition or PVD.
It sounds complicated, and it is. Magnetron sputtering is an exact science, and only skilled technicians can operate the equipment that makes it happen. Hence the brand-new facility at Solar Guard.
So, what is the magnetron sputtering technique's value in terms of solar power? Solar panels use what's called photovoltaic materials to absorb light photos and release electrons. The process converts the light into energy at the atomic level, making it available for us to use as electricity.
Magnetron sputtering is enabling a whole new generation of ultra-thin, flexible solar panels that can go places and serve applications that rigid panels never could. Solar Gard's investment will give them the tools to create more advanced coatings and address the demand for top-performance tech as this sector continues to evolve.
For more information on magnetron sputtering, visit Angstrom Engineering — they're a leader in the field of physical vapour deposition.

|Simply what?! I will never again purchase Simply Raspberry Lemonade (which I drink way too much of!) This tasted EXACTLY the same.
Its HOT HOT HOT out there... here is a quick refreshing cold drink idea to make with the kiddos this week.
As always we picked some berries tonight, I had some lemons and a lime in the fridge so why not make a cool treat for the boys. They think I'm a god now... apparently making juice is like magic to these boys!
Raspberry Lime Lemonade
2 large lemons
1 lime
1 cup fresh raspberries
3/4 cup sugar
2-3 cups water
Take the berries and place in a medium bowl with the sugar. Mash and mix together with a fork. Let it set for about 15 minutes. (I'm not sure how long my berries sat for... in the time it took me to do a load of dishes...)
|Yes some blueberries made it in there as well... thank you Chase!
Take a fine mesh strainer and pour the berry sugar mixture through pushing all juice out leaving only pulp and seeds.
Juice the lemon and limes into a 1.5 quart or larger pitcher.
Discard seeds, give the lemon/berry juice mixture a good stir. Then add in the water start with one cup then taste.... if its too tart still add a bit more in 1/4 cup increments till its perfection!

So I did a fun little test run making candy bark--something I will likely give as Christmas gifts this year. I'm trying to work up a collection of candy and/or baked goods to send to some of my out-of-town relatives and other folks on my holiday list. I had lots of fun making this white chocolate bark. It's the best non-baking, baking project I've ever tried!!!
White chocolate with dark chocolate swirl, pecans and orange flavored cranberries. So the question is....I wonder how well it will ship. Hmmmm. The more important question is....how much fun am I going to have making cute little holiday packaging for this stuff!!! I think sometimes I make stuff just to have an excuse to play with packaging.

In order to address the issue of same-sex marriage it is pertinent to have a preface discussion about gender differences. Sex has deep roots, reaching far beyond what one looks at in the mirror. The purpose of sexual differentiation is plain and simple: to reproduce. Women evolved in a way conducive of attracting a mate who would invest resources in her and her children. Men evolved in order to attract a fertile mate willing to copulate with him. Differences that arose from these two different (yet overlapping) goals are commonly referred to as sexual dimorphism. These differences are not limited to physical dissimilarities, but are a dynamic mixture of cognitive ability (male spacial ability v. female verbal ability for example), personality traits, etc. Although biological factors initiate differences, socialization plays the most significant role in establishing gender roles. Homosexual marriages, or children raised with same-gender parents are taking a chance against what nature evolved to be a family. Half the picture children were intended to see during their development is absent. Although many people don't accept Freud's psychosexual theory of personality development including the Oedipus complex, one would be hard pressed to find somebody unwilling to acknowledge the profound impact heterosexual parents have on their children.
In Plato's Republic, Plato argues that nepotism is responsible for divisiveness in society. This schism could be eliminated if elite men were required to produce children with women held in common, and the children produced raised by nurses leaving the parents and children ignorant to biological ties. Aristotle saw something that Plato did not. He recognized devastating side-effects this societal treatment might cause. He wrote:
Whereas in a state having women and children in common, love will be watery; and the father will certainly not say "my son," or the son "my father." As a little sweet wine mingled with a great deal of water is imperceptible in the mixture, so, in this sort of community, the idea of relationship which is based upon these names will be lost; there is no reason why the so-called father should care about the son, or the son about the father, or brothers about one another. Of the two qualities which chiefly inspire regard and affection-that a thing is your own and that it is your only one-neither can exist in such a state as this.1
Aristotle recognized what evolutionary psychologists call kin selection or kin altruism. Altruism, or behavior that involves self-sacrifice, appears to be inconsistent with natural selection. If natural selection favors traits that add to the overall fitness of a creature then how can behavior that reduces survival and fitness be selected? The answer is that animals and people not only have an interest in their own survival but also the survival of their genes. This idea is called inclusive fitness, the reproductive success of those individuals who share many of the same genes. In Politics, Aristotle writes, "in common with other animals and with plants, mankind have a natural desire to leave behind them an image of themselves."2 Thomas Aquinas, who was very influential in many Christian nations construct of marriage and family, saw four major driving forces behind marriage. First, the demanding nature of child rearing for an extensive amount of time makes it difficult for mothers to raise infants by themselves. Second, fathers are much more likely to attach to their children if they know with certainty that the child caries his genes and is his own. Third, reinforcing this attachment males feel towards their children is the mutual assistance and affection he receives from his wife. Finally, sexual exchange between the father and mother helps to integrate the father into the mother-infant bond.3 Research strongly supports that children do best when raised by their two married, biological parents who have low-conflict relationships.4, 5 Dismissing the relationship between kin selection (biological parents) and marriage is adultocentric- disregarding children's rights. Children have the right to be raised by parents in families as outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.6 Not only this, children also have the right to be raised in a society which protects legal and cultural institutions which maximize the possibility of them being raised by their biological parents. For this reason I am opposed to same-sex marriage being passed as law.
Something that has taken me by surprise as I have debated the issue of same-sex marriage is how quickly people label me as a "homophobe." Quick background on me: I have never in my life felt any malice or any degree of hate for a homosexual person. I have had close association with some homosexual people in my life on sports teams, at work, at school, my neighbors, and within my own extended family. My association with them has always been exquisitely pleasant and I value their unique perspectives. Why then would I be labeled as a homophobe for pursuing peaceful discussion while taking the stance of defending marriage to be between a man and a woman? My conclusion is that the term homophobe is a potent deterrent to rational debate. Name-calling and scare tactics enable those unable to support their arguments otherwise to turn weak minds against their opponent. Thomas Sowell writes about this buzzword (homophobe) in The Vision of the Anointed: Self-congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy:
Writers who have written for years, or even decades, without ever mentioning homosexuals have been denounced for "homophobia" because they began to write about the subject after the AIDS epidemic appeared and did not take the "politically correct" position on the issues. How can someone have a "phobia" about something he has scarcely noticed? Many people never knew or cared what homosexuals were doing, until it became a danger to them as a result of the AIDS epidemic. Whether those people's reactions were right or wrong is something that can be debated. But attributing their position to a "phobia" is circular reasoning, when there is no evidence of any such phobia other than the position itself. Like so much in the vocabulary of the anointed, it is a way of avoiding substantive debate.
Among the writers who took non-"politically correct" positions on AIDS was the late Randy Shilts, whose best-selling book And the Band Played On is a chilling exploration of the political irresponsibility, based on fears of offending the organized gay lobby, that led to thousands of unnecessary deaths before the most elementary public health measures were taken to reduce the spread of AIDS. No doubt he too would have been called "homophobic" if he were not himself an avowed homosexual who later died of AIDS....7
Jeff Lindsey (an LDS member in Appleton, Wisconsin) wrote in his blog: "Homophobia is an epithet to stop argument. Name-calling can carry the day when reason and facts aren't with you. There certainly are bigots that need to be stopped - but the media and the gay lobby is quick to label anyone as homophobic who does not agree with their political agenda or with their lifestyle. But the issue of homosexuality needs thoughtful consideration and debate - not just name calling to force a politically correct decision."
The idea of political correctness is an influential weapon gay-activists arm themselves with. I find the history of homosexuality in popular scientific thought to be particularly telling of the power this weapon yields. In 1973 the term homosexuality was removed from the official nomenclature of the DSM-II (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). Such action would make one think this represents popular scientific thought on the matter right? Wrong. A poll taken in late 1977 of ten thousand Psychiatrists of the American Medical Association showed that 68 percent answered in the affirmative when asked "is homosexuality usually a pathological adaptation as opposed to a normal variation?" Again, in 1995 a poll of various psychiatric institutions revealed that a large majority of psychiatrists believe that homosexuality was a pathological adaptation. So if the scientific community decides to disavow homosexuality as a mental illness without research (or even popularity within the scientific community) to back it up why was this change made? Plain and simple: political correctness being pushed for by gay-activists. Political correctness trumps research. This reality was made clear when a group of researchers headed by Charles W. Socarides presented a report summarizing two years of research. They observed and unanimously documented the fact that exclusive homosexuality was a disorder of psychosexual development. At the end of this two year study, new members of the Executive Committee who ordered the study deemed their conclusions "not acceptable." And so, good science is effectively filtered by gay-activists in the name of political correctness. I guess the same people who lament the far right trying to block evolution being taught in schools are guilty of a similar offense themselves.8
Many members of the LDS church who are supportive of same-sex marriages being legalized criticize the church for continuously choosing the wrong side of every political battle.9 They quickly make a comparison to blacks and the priesthood. I would respond with a question: is the church today the same as it was in the 70's? The first presidency and quorum of the twelve is now saturated with PhD's and expertise in various fields of study (this hasn't always been the case). Are these men uneducated bigots? Is the idea that the church would stand up for marriage in order to suppress the rights of a minority group even fathomable to one with experience with the church? There must be more to the church's stance than that which the church is continuously accused. I challenge anyone caught in a crisis of thought regarding this issue to study it out, trust our leaders and allow the facts to vindicate our position. How grateful I am that the church has stood up when called upon, proving to all that we are not ashamed of truth, and we will protect the family as the seedbed of civilization.
In my experience with members of the church who support same-sex marriage I have often heard them use Joseph Smith's own words to validate their position. "I teach the people correct principles and they govern themselves" said Joseph Smith as cited by John Taylor.10 Focus is on the latter part of this quote, implying that the church must avoid infringing on others' rights. Often reference is made to Satan's plan in the pre-earth life equating these rights to agency. There are a few visible errors in this thinking. I don't think this position represents a correct understanding of agency. In Heavenly Father's established plan, agency is not something that can be taken away. People will always have the ability to act according to their own accord. Even if rules or laws are put in place, this in no way infringes upon one's agency. "For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves."11 This way of thinking also fails to acknowledge the first part of Joseph Smith's words, to teach correct principles. The church has not really taken a political stand, it has taken a moral one. It has stood up for the family as being ordained by God and between one man and one woman. It is consistent with the churches long-time position, one which they have already made several proclamations to the world.12

Biking: San Luis Obispo to Santa Barbara - Self Guided Multi-Day
Overview - San Luis Obispo (SLO) to Santa Barbara Self Guided Bike Tour
South of Big Sur, cycling through San Luis Obispo County and Santa Barbara County offers a diverse palette of marine wildlife viewing, historic missions, winery areas and surfers plying the waves of the Pacific Ocean off sandy beaches. A San Luis Obispo to Santa Barbara self guided bike tour is a good option for more casual cyclists looking to avoid the rugged terrain of the Big Sur coast, but still take in some breathtaking coastal scenery, beaches and wine country. Our standard itinerary is three days, but layover days can be added and/or shorter cycling days can make for a tour longer than three days. You can also start your tour north of SLO at Ragged Point to add even more great coastal cycling. See below for the standard tour and for other itineraries. To get more information and/or pricing for an itinerary you are interested in or to begin the process of booking a multi-day bike tour with us, send us a Custom Bike Tour Questionnaire. Or, just give us a call at 805.528.1080!

Standard Itinerary - San Luis Obispo (SLO) to Santa Barbara
3 Days / 133 Total Miles / Daily Average = 44 Miles / Daily Range = 38-52 Miles
Day One - SLO to Santa Maria - 43 miles (elevation +1101/-1131 ft)
Starting in the mission town of San Luis Obispo (voted happiest town in North America!), the SLO to Santa Barbara self guided bike tour route heads toward the coast. A short detour along a creekside bike path to the small resort town of Avila Beach beckons before cycling through Pismo Beach, a classic beach town. From Pismo Beach the route veers inland through rich farmland. Watch for artichokes and strawberries! The terrain south of Pismo Beach has some rolling hills, but levels out as you bike through the sleepy town of Guadalupe before the short spin to Santa Maria.
Day Two - Santa Maria to Solvang - 38 miles (elevation +1931/-1662 ft)
Leaving Santa Maria on this San Luis Obispo to Santa Barbara bike tour, you'll quickly find yourself in the idyllic vineyards of the Santa Ynez winery region. This is where the movie "Sideways" was filmed, often with actual staff from the winery tasting rooms. Tackling the hills at the south end of Foxen Canyon Road brings you to the tiny hamlet of Los Olivos and its numerous tasting rooms. From Los Olivos it's a short spin along Alamo Pintado Road (or a rollicking climb and descent on Ballard Canyon Road) to the Danish-themed town of Solvang in the heart of the Santa Ynez wine country.
Day Three - Solvang to Santa Barbara - 52 miles (elevation +2472/-2965 ft)
The last day of this SLO to Santa Barbara self guided cycling tour starts with a pleasing spin and climb through isolated country behind Solvang past Nojoqui Falls Park before you gain US 101 and bike over Gaviota Pass to get back to the coast. The coastal approach to Santa Barbara on US 101 is actually quite pleasant for biking on a freeway and features expansive ocean views. As you near Santa Barbara, you'll take the traditional Coast Bike Route through Hope Ranch and bike along the waterfront before ending the day among the palm trees and sandy beaches of Santa Barbara.
Adding Layover Days
Interesting layover days on our San Luis Obispo to Santa Barbara bike tour can be made in the following locations:
San Luis Obispo (SLO). This diverse town offers plenty of galleries and restaurants in its award winning downtown area. The Edna Valley stretches south of town and offers numerous winery tasting rooms and great cycling.
Solvang. Located in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley Wine Country, Solvang (or one of the towns close by) is the best place for a layover day if you want to experience wine country and/or do some cycling to wineries.
**Please note that all mileages and elevation gain/loss data (in feet) are approximate only and will vary according to hotel location and actual routes ridden.**
Alternate Itineraries
Many other options exist for cycling from the SLO area down to Santa Barbara. Please see below for brief itinerary descriptions to see how they differ from the standard itinerary and click on the links to view a detailed PDF of any of these itineraries. To get more information and/or pricing for an itinerary you are interested in or to begin the process of booking a multi-day bike tour with us, send us a Custom Bike Tour Questionnaire. Or, just give us a call at 805.528.1080!
133 Total Miles / Daily Average = 33 miles / Daily Range = 25-43 miles
This is a relaxed itinerary that splits up the longer day from Solvang to Santa Barbara with an overnight stay at El Capitan Canyon, a back to nature resort with luxury tents and cabins.
194 Total Miles / Daily Average = 49 miles / Daily Range = 38-61 miles
This is an excellent option if you want to tack on some really nice coastal riding. You still travel to the town of San Luis Obispo at the start of the tour and we shuttle you up to Ragged Point to start the cycling. If you want to keep the miles on the first day more moderate, you can also cycle from Ragged Point to Morro Bay instead of SLO and stay overnight there. That makes the next day to Santa Maria a bit longer, but evens out the mileage a bit better than staying in SLO.
194 Total Miles / Daily Average = 39 miles / Daily Range = 30-52 miles
This is a more relaxed version of the Ragged Point to Santa Barbara 4 day itinerary above and stays overnight in the beach towns of Cayucos and Pismo Beach instead of San Luis Obispo.
Pricing below is for our innovative self guided bike tour program. Prices below assume our standard self guided bike tour services and are per person prices for the whole itinerary. The rates vary according to length of itinerary and number of people in the cycling group. If you will be doing the itinerary in less or more than the amount of days listed below, the price will be adjusted accordingly. For number of days below the standard range - subtract $15 per day per person. For number of days above the standard range - add $20 per day per person.

Custom Bike Tour Questionnaire (Start the booking process)
Once you've reviewed itinerary options and have an idea of what itineraries or dates might work best for you, the best way to start the process of booking a tour and confirming the price for your group is to fill out the Custom Bike Tour Questionnaire. You can always give us a call at 805.528.1080 as well.
Cost and Availability of Accommodations
The cost and availability of accommodations on a California coast self guided bike tour can vary considerably and are influenced by location, high season vs. low season rates, and weekend vs. weekday rates. The best way to get a sense for what accommodations for your tour might cost is to first choose a specific itinerary and dates and ask us to email you our lists of recommended accommodations for each stop along the way. Then you can check availability and rates for your specific dates. It can be a challenge to find hotel accommodations for less than $100 per night average, although if you are willing to stay in hostels where they exist, you can average less than $100 per night. Most budget hotel accommodations are in the $70-150 per night range. Mid range accommodations are typically between $150-300 per night. Some places may sell out months in advance during the busy summer season or other holiday times, and/or may require two nights stays on certain busy weekends. The farther in advance you plan your bike tour, the better chance you have to get the accommodations you want at each stop along the way. Virtually all accommodations we recommend have websites where you can check availability and book rooms.
Daily Luggage Delivery Options
Daily luggage delivery is not normally included in our self guided bike tour package, but can potentially be arranged for an extra fee. Our standard self guided services include a pannier system for the bike so you can carry just the clothing and gear you need during the tour. We will take your excess luggage (anything you don't carry on the bike), store it for you during the tour and deliver it to you at the end of the tour. If you want daily luggage transfer, be aware that moving luggage down the coast one way can cost a minimum of $150 extra per moving day and often up to double that or more. We usually use a combination of parcel delivery services (in areas farther from our home base in SLO County) and our own staff and vehicles (closer to our home base). Please contact us if you are interested in a quote on daily luggage delivery for your self guided bike tour.
Traffic, Road Conditions and Terrain
Traffic along the SLO to Santa Barbara bike tour route is highly variable. Some stretches are on remote roads that have little to no traffic. Some of the cycling route is on Highway One which has differing traffic volumes on different portions. Highway One also has highly variable shoulders with some stretches that have little to no shoulder. A small portion of the cycling tour is actually on freeways (mostly on the approach to Santa Barbara), but these sections always have a large shoulder, except for two very short stretches on the approach to Santa Barbara. Cyclists doing the SLO to Santa Barbara bike tour should be comfortable riding with traffic for portions of the tour.
The terrain for the San Luis Obispo to Santa Barbara bike tour route is variable, but less challenging than the riding along the Big Sur coast to the north. Most days will have some combination of relatively level riding and some hill climbing. Most of the sustained climbs (i.e. 1/2 mile or longer) are of moderate steepness (5-8%) and there are no sustained climbs that average over 10%. Each day of the SLO to Santa Barbara bike tour itinerary has the elevation gain and loss (in feet) listed. Cyclists contemplating doing the SLO to Santa Barbara bike tour should be comfortable with riding at least a few sections with hilly terrain.
Overview Map
Start and End Transportation
San Luis Obispo Area
San Luis Obispo has a regional airport (SBP) quite near town, although it is smaller and currently served by only two airlines (United and US Air). There are non-stop flights to San Francisco, Los Angeles and Phoenix. San Luis Obispo is also well served by Amtrak and has several trains/buses per day north toward the San Francisco Bay Area south toward Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. Many people assume you can rent a car in most of the towns in SLO County, but this is not the case. There are no places to rent cars along the northern SLO County coast (i.e. Cambria, Cayucos, Morro Bay) until you get to the town of SLO itself, where most major national car rental companies are represented.
Santa Barbara Area
Similar to Monterey, Santa Barbara has a regional airport (SBA) served by several major airlines. There are non-stop flights to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Seattle, Portland and Phoenix. The Santa Barbara Airbus offers transportation from several Santa Barbara area locations to Los Angeles International (LAX) as well. Shuttle time is usually 2-2.5 hours. Amtrak also offers train service from Santa Barbara to the Los Angeles area.

Urban livestock keeping and urban farming are growing and often very earth-friendly trends. As previously reported by The Inquisitr, chickens have become increasingly abandoned by hipster farmers at animal shelters. The time and money commitment with keeping chickens, rabbits, or any other type of livestock becomes too daunting for some novice urban farmers.
The Inquisitr recently sat down with Hostile Hare owner Nick Klein to discuss small livestock keeping, homesteading, and prepping habits which work equally well in both an urban and rural environment. Klein is preparing to take his Hostile Hare services nationwide and will be appearing at the Arizona Survivalist/Prepper Expo in August.
IQ: Are your workshops geared to novice farmers and preppers, or will veteran homesteading families learn new skills from Hostile Hare services as well?
Nick: These workshops are geared towards those getting started raising rabbits. Even if you're a seasoned rabbit farmer, you can benefit from another view point and another opinion. It's been my experience, though, that no one has integrated livestock, gardening, and power production like we have at Hostile Hare.
Rabbits are the key to efficient food production. Rabbits will produce 320 pounds of live offspring per female and only require six square feet of living space. I can produce over 4000 pounds of live rabbits a year, I propose a live food storage system.
IQ: As noted on your website, rabbit keeping is even a viable options for Americans who live in urban areas or are forced to deal with HOA rules in suburban areas. What specific rabbit keeping tips can you give to urban farmers?
Nick: Rabbits are the perfect HOA friendly livestock. If you have a 3×2 foot area on a patio or in a spare bedroom you can raise 960 pounds of rabbits in a year. They are quiet, naturally clean, and can be passed on as pets should a conflict of purpose arise. Just keep the poop pans cleaned and the rabbits happy, and you'll never draw attention. Rabbits are fairly simple to prepare to eat. A novice will have an oven-ready bunny in five-ten minutes of it being alive. I do recommend a salt brine overnight to offset the muscle tension. You have to remember, all meat purchased in the store has been allowed to decompose slightly to tenderize it.
IQ: What prompted the creation of Hostile Hare?
Nick: I have always been an alternative fuel junky. I've experimented with everything from electrolysis to used vegetable oils as fuel sources. I was studying gasification, a process for turning biomass into fuel through pyrolysis and reduction, when I saw an opportunity to improve the process.
Instead of chipping wood or compressing saw dust or using harvested corn for the feed stock biomass, I wanted to use a biomechanical approach. So I started raising rabbits to turn unorganized grass clippings, weeds, some twigs, veggies and some fruits into organized compressed pellets … rabbit poop.
I started with four does and a buck. I always ate wild hunted rabbits growing up, so I figured I would just eat these bunnies. Little did I know that each breeding female is capable of producing 64-80 babies a year! That's enough meat for an adult human to survive on. So I started selling the offspring and found there was demand. I soon grew the operation to 50 breeders, then 70, and I now have the ability to produce 700 head a month.

For you vbscripters out we had a built in function call split that allowed us to split text strings into an array. We have the same functionality as method in PowerShell.
First create a variable:
- $Var1=""10,15,20,9,8,7""
Now let's discover the methods that are available to this variable. Powershell is smart enough to know that this variable is a string.
- $Var1 | Get-Member
Noticed that Split is a method. Let's go ahead and execute this method.
• $Var1.Split(",").
The "," tells PowersShell that our delimiter is going to be the comma. You can choose any character to be your delimiter.
You can also treat these as cells in an array.
• $Var2 = $Var1.Split(",")
• $Var2[1]
• $Var2[1]
After you execute the second command, the contents of cell 1 in the array $Var2 will be displayed. In this case, it should be 15.

Private equity fund seeks US bridgehead for hi-tech firms

Private equity fund seeks US bridgehead for high value Kiwi firms
By Pattrick Smellie
June 30 (BusinessDesk) – New Zealand private equity fund Endeavour Capital is teaming with Crown-owned science agency Industrial Research Ltd. to build a bridgehead in Florida for high-value manufacturing opportunities based, at least in part, on New Zealand science and innovation.
Chaired by Neville Jordan, who led the government's review of the Crown Research Institutes, Endeavour announced it has secured $20 million of investment funding through a Florida state government scheme to encourage the creation of high value advanced science jobs.
The deal will also involve research contracts for New Zealand-based scientists, and IRL is "closely examining" whether to open an office alongside Endeavour in the Jupiter/Palm Beach area, north of Miami, where Florida campuses of Johns Hopkins University, the Scripps Institute, and the Max Planck Institute are located.
"We have an undertaking to take intellectual property or companies into the state," Jordan told BusinessDesk.
"In the reverse direction, they have said that if we then put research contracts into New Zealand, they give that a big tick too."
Jordan hopes the New Zealand government will consider a local version of the scheme, which involves an element of reciprocal exchange and targets "graduate-style employment" because such jobs generate disproportionately large numbers of other jobs.
It was a struggle to commercialise New Zealand's best intellectual property without being "embedded in targeted offshore markets", he said. For Endeavour's New Zealand investments in areas like non-invasive diabetes detection, water efficiency systems, anti-cancer compounds and advanced manufacturing and ICT systems, "the ability to engage with such world-leading research and development teams will be invaluable."
Endeavour is pursuing the strategy globally. Last month, it established a $120 million investment partnership between the Chinese state of Wuhan's venture capital corporation, HUSTVC, and in April it signed a collaborative research agreement with Saudi Arabia's King Faisal Specialist Hosptial and Research Centre.
A European initiative would be announced shortly, Jordan said.
IRL's consideration of a Florida office comes as Science and Innovation Minister Wayne Mapp weighs recommendations from a review of high value manufacturing strategy, with The University of Auckland lobbying strongly that it is a logical owner for IRL and would headquarter the Wellington-based CRI on one of its Auckland campuses.

"Tip the world on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles," Frank Lloyd Wright reportedly said. That looseness -- a spirit of experimentation, a refusal to be bound by convention -- will be on display June 23 when the MAK Center for Art and Achitecture hosts a tour of groundbreaking modern homes by Frank Gehry, Neil M. Denari Architects, Eric Owen Moss and artist Peter Alexander.
The tour was organized in conjunction with "Everything Loose Will Land," an exhibition at the landmark Schindler House in West Hollywood that explores the design conversation among Los Angeles architects and artists during the 1970s. Houses on the tour also are showcased in events tied to the Getty Foundation initiative "Pacific Standard Time Presents: Modern Architecture in L.A."
Stops on the tour include the Spiller House in Venice (Frank Gehry, 1980), the Alan-Voo House in Mar Vista (Neil M. Denari Architects, 2007 renovation and extension), Peter Alexander Studio in Santa Monica (Peter Alexander, 1999) and the Petal House in West Los Angeles (Eric Owen Moss, 1982).
The sites will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Organizers suggest leaving three hours to see all four places. General admission is $50. A longer version of the tour that includes the 2-4-6-8 House (Morphosis, 1978) is sold out. Call (323) 651-1510 for details.

Retirement happiness is looking less and less real
If you thought retirement was a cake walk, you might be heartbroken to learn there's more walking than cake.
Nearly half of all Americans — 49 percent — don't believe they will reach their retirement goals by the time they hit actual retirement age, the American Institute of CPAs says. Of the more than 1,000 adults surveyed, 5 percent of non-retirees have reached their retirement goals.
The higher the lack of confidence, the higher the anxiety level for non-retirees. The biggest sources of their financial anxiety: healthcare costs (71 percent), unawareness of personal health (62 percent); and being unsure about tax rates (52 percent).
Being poor in retirement isn't anything new, and those delightful golden years are looking more like bronze as low income is not only contributing to anxiety, but also depression and loneliness in older Americans.
"Working throughout your life was once a reliable route to a comfortable, financially secure retirement. Over the years, Americans have been asked to take on more responsibility and become more self-sufficient for their retirement planning;" says Greg Anton, CPA, CGMA, and chair of the AICPA's National CPA Financial Literacy Commission. "We've found that today, even Americans who say they'll reach their financial goals are anticipating a more active 'retirement-lite'. That involves working and making financial sacrifices."
The biggest financial sacrifice among non-retired Americans is nearly half — 45 percent — expect to work full-time longer than they expected. Another 43 percent believe they'll be working in some capacity, probably part-time, during retirement age. Forty percent think they'll have to move to a less-expensive city. Another 28 percent believe they'll have to forego medical care.
"As life expectancies have gotten longer, retirement planning has become more difficult," the AICPA survey says. "For non-retired Americans, anxiety over Social Security and a sharp decrease in company pensions may have led to an increased emphasis on personal savings."
Health care during retirement is hurting us
As we get older and turn to our retirement to financially support us, many of us are genuinely afraid that we will run out of money before we die. Money is already a big source of financial stress, but specifically having enough money in retirement to help us when we may not be able to work is the biggest financial stressor of all.
Long-term health care is expensive in most places around the country, although some places have it cheaper than others. Where you live shapes the cost of living, even if you're just moving into an assisted living facility. It can range on the low end, like $68,000 a year in Louisiana, to $200,000 in Alaska.
Aside from where you live, your gender matters as well. Because women are expected to live longer than men, it'll cost them more than $35,000 extra just for being an old woman. This is an even bigger burden on women as they are already facing earning less money and not being able to close the gender pay gap for more than two centuries. Aside from earning less income, women, on average, are also collecting less Social Security. Less earnings and less savings mean less money in retirement.

Plays of the Century
The first is Glengarry Glen Ross, the David Mamet Pulitzer Prize winning masterpiece which had its world premier in London in 1983. This is the eve of the spread of the mobile phone and the salesmen in the seedy office do not have them, not even smoothie Ricky Roma. Consequently they can do nothing when the telephone handsets are stolen.
In pitiless observation of their language and values, Mamet exposes what they don't want to face; they couldn't do much when the phones were there, either. They just like to think they can. The numbers don't stack up; the junk estate they manage to unload on to fools is still not enough to pay for the time they spend hunting for the next mark.
They like to think of themselves as natural raptors but at that point in history there weren't enough stupid, juicy mice to sustain them. They believe their Jedi sales skills will work for them so long as they are allocated the Glengarry Glen Ross leads but there is no good reason to suppose that those leads even exist.
The office manager thinks these leads are what the firm has bought. He has to distribute them to the salesmen who can best convert them in to sales as shown on the competition board. But there is no reason why there should be a pool of convertible leads for swampland. We never know if the land itself is real. It's possible that the leads are just a mirage the firm has bought. It's possible the firm's owners know it is a mirage and are playing their own game of pretending to have a profitable company. The only time the leads have a quantifiable value is when they are stolen and palmed-off on to the next desperate re-seller.
The only people who get anything out of it are the Nyborgs, a couple who like having the attention of a salesman and can do so in safety because it doesn't matter what they sign; they haven't got a bean and the contract isn't enforceable.
In 1987, when Oliver Stone and Stanley Weiser created the character Gordon Gekko for Wall Street, they rooted him in the land speculation of the 1970s, when the early-entry gamers had parceled-up and moved on their junklands to intermediaries. Ten fictional years later, this office is a long way down the pyramid where Gekko is the pinnacle. It is the last step before the weak James Lingk (weak lingk, geddit) who is induced to sign a contract by Roma. No matter what the salesmen think of themselves, Mamet has positioned them at the bottom of the pyramid of losers, unless they manage to find the one bigger loser beneath themselves - and even then, the law will help their prey escape.
Mamet was appalled to find that far from taking the play as a warning, he had accidentally created a feedback monster and that this was used as a training manual. The latest incarnation is the Alan Sugar vehicle The Apprentice, where a group of young people are encouraged to shred each other for the edification of the viewing public. Glen Sugar.
The second play is Enron, Lucy Prebble's explanation of the collapse of the company. Although the dialogue is wonderful it has to do more technical exposition than Mamet had to because of the breath-taking scale of the fraud. How could something that big be hidden? Here we see the same kinds of people, still selling, still voluntarily blinding themselves to economic reality, only now they have a great deal more money because the boom years have persuaded them they are fantastically clever people instead of what is nearer the truth: they have been unbelieveably lucky.
The fictional Ricky Roma gave philosophical soliloquies which justified his actions; the fictionalized Jeffrey Skilling is similarly given speeches with queasy half-truths in them. Bubbles of inflated value have made things such as railway construction possible and we wanted it all to be true .
Prebble wrote a show which is geared for the modern stage using surprise motifs which wouldn't work in film. Whereas Glengarry Glen Ross is a realist drama, Enron owes more to forms such as Greek tragedy, a big canvas of tragedy compared to the intimate study of misery. Mamet takes small people and enlarges them in to monstrous detail, Prebble has to take a huge event and find a way to contain it on the stage. Alas, you'll probably have to hope somebody stages it near you or buy the script as there don't seem to be any listed productions at the moment.
This week it was announced that Jeffrey Skilling may be able to negotiate a deal which will see him out of prison earlier much earlier than his original sentence demanded. Although he presided over the biggest bankruptcy in US history, his mistake appears to have neglected to be a bank. Then he'd have been bailed out by the tax payer, probably still had his job and possibly still have been given a bonus while losing money.

Mother fucking cunts shortin' sense and playing loose like cunts like to do. Hold cards with rent outstanding and trophy tart squeelin'. Glengary Glen Ross my ass mo fo. I thought Tories could talk to money, oooops. Next?

They can talk to money: they keep telling it 'goodbye'. If you were money, would you want to stay with people who treat you like this?

I think i'm quite upset by the whole thing. One would have thought being born to money that its acquisition was secondary if not lower, that bling only goes as far as the youngest developing a ridiculous smack habit or spending £200k on a Lambourghini that can't go over speed humps. There has to be a separation of politics and money - that's what corruption laws are for - but these fake Tories have power and yet seemingly have no idea how to use it.
It may be as the guys at Capitalists @ Work often establish that oil, metals, insurance, interest rates, exchange rates are but cabal, committee and back room fixing. That there was never any ability for these silver spoon fed morons to bite the hand that feeds them. The strategic interest of Blighty is to maintain this manipulation. I guess i'm fine with that - always been a believer in internalising problems rather than defering them to, yer know, a European level but if the rot is to be exposed through American attack, then, if it is to assume that the job of Chancellor is to face the abyss - well, Amerika ain't that geographically fortuotous (sp).
I dunno - I genuinely do hold a lot of love for how Tories are, that in caucus, in private they can only be judged by how far they care about something. Even when they're being complete socialists it's patronage based on location, friend of the family - something that everyone in the room knows is perfectly reasonable. For the sake of money, though, crikey - can do a bit better than that.
How can a 45 year old bloke talk to a 70 year old heaveyweight? Carefully!! Cameron is and does surround himself with teenagers - missed a few old skool tricks.
Cheers Mrs WoaR. Sorry about rabbiting on.

You are not rabbiting - you are right. However, one thing has changed which Mr Ishmael documents in his tales of the living dead: there was a time when political success came late in life and was based on success in other areas, was around for a few years, then the holder was moved to the Lords or the grave, often indistinguishably.
Now we have people who seriously expect - and get - to hold office when they have never held down a real job in their lives. Sponsorship via the Fabians and other holding-tank charities produces a cadre of rulers who are on somebody's teat from age 18.
I am amazed you manage to stay civil to them; I find it better to remove myself from their vicinity.

Vast amounts of cannabis and booze and some dodgy evensongs! McKinsey is the Tory breeding pen and they're starting to populate, yer know, only 3 years late but....

FF/FG deal on cards at new Council meeting
AS tomorrow's agm of Kildare County Council approaches, it appears that an agreement between Fianna Fail and Fine Gael, along with a couple of independents, will be ratified.
Fianna Fail won 12 of the 40 seats in the local election on 23 May and Fine Gael won nine. That would give the group 21 votes, the necessary majority in some major votes, including who will be Mayor and on budgets.
It is expected that a number of independents, including, perhaps, former Fianna Fail member, Bernard Caldwell from Leixlip, will support the two main parties. It remains to be seen if this coalition, which has been suggested at national level, will last the full term of the Council, in the pace of potential disagreement at national level.
Between them Sinn Fein (5 seats), Labour (5 seats) and the independents (9) total 19, are just two short of a narrow, if also, potentially, unstable or short term majority.
It is also possible that the first Mayor of the new Council will be Fianna Fail's Fiona O'Loughlin, but that remains to be seen until tomorrow's vote.
The Council is expected, also tomorrow, to agree dates for the first meetings of each municipal district, which must be held between 6-16 June.

text: In recent weeks, as part of Operation Decisive Storm, a military coalition of ten predominantly Sunni states led by Saudi Arabia has been shelling military installations, arms stockpiles, airports, streets, bridges, and infrastructure throughout Yemen. The collateral damage is estimated as one thousand deaths and a multiple of injured. These were mainly attributable to the bad habit of Yemen's leaders to bunker vast quantities of weapons in the midst of the cities or in their immediate vicinities. Pictures of powerful explosions and grievously mutilated victims flooded social networks. On April 20 a gigantic explosion on the nearby mountain Faj Attan shook Sana'a, which was probably caused by the direct hit of a bunker-busting bomb on a stockpile of missiles. Several died, many were injured, houses were destroyed, and windows throughout large parts of the capital city were shattered; people's nerves were on edge. When amid heavy air raids Saudi Arabia announced the end of Operation Decisive Storm on April 21—without ceasing the bombing for even a minute—a Yemeni television newscaster collapsed in front of the camera from a hysteric fit of laughter. Despite the official end of the operation, the nightly air strikes continue.

I've decided to write another book review for all you book lovers out there.
This review is about: The Help - by Kathryn Stockett
Click the Picture to Purchase from Amazon UK
I recommend this book to anybody who is interested in past events that happened in a different culture.
It combines tears, laughter, anger, joy and every other type of emotion under the sun, and therefore is such a good read! The book is told from different points of view - sharing stories about different characters and families.
Overall, I rate this book:
That's all for now, lovely readers.
As Always, Stay Tuned!

|Eleanor watching the sunset in Fiji.
Definitely not a green flash night, too much
atmospheric haze and likely distant clouds;
note how dim the sun is at its base.
I've seen the green flash so many times, I forget there was a time when it was a mystery to me. Before ever seeing it, I'd heard references to it and I wondered exactly what it was and whether it was real.
It is real. But it's also a bit of a misnomer because it's not a flash in the sense of bright light, it's a flash in the sense that it's over in a flash. It makes more sense to describe it as, "a green smear that you'll miss if you blink."
There are precise atmospheric conditions necessary to produce this phenomenon, and I'm not sure what they are, but I know that when I'm someplace with no mountains or clouds or too much haze obscuring the horizon and the setting sun, it's likely I'll see a green flash. To be clear, the sky can be solid overcast, but as long as there is a clear band at the horizon, conditions may be right.
Especially for folks living on the East Coast or the interior of the U.S., seeing the green flash is not easy. An ocean horizon to the west offers the best hope. Cruising in the Pacific offers plenty of open horizon opportunities. On the contrary, here in Ajo, we've got too much terrain to get a clear shot of the sun setting behind the horizon.
I saw a green flash soon before we left Fiji, while photographing the sunset, and decided to share exactly when it's visible and what it looks like. There are better photos online, but these are what I've got (and I missed the flash).

|Great, horizon looks clear, but I'm concerned about the island.
|Damn the island.
|Wait, it might set well to the right of the island, in the clear.
The horizon looks perfect for a green flash.
|Definitely gonna clear the island. I still can't stare at
the sun with the naked eye at this point, just catching
glances. (But you do need to be staring at the time
the green flash happens.)
|Now I'm catching more frequent glances, sunglasses coming off.
|I'm almost staring constantly at this point, I don't want to miss it.
|Any millisecond now.
|I'm not blinking.
And if you're intrigued by the green flash, I offer a story from my friend Mike Litzow aboard Galactic. While I've seen my share of green flashes, Mike has seen a handful of doubles, and even triples. Do you even know what that means? Check out his post from the middle of the Atlantic a couple months back.

This is the script structure:
1..<N> | Foreach {
New-VM -vmhost <ESX_HOST> -Name <VM_NAME> -Template <TEMPLATE> -Datastore <DATASTORE> [-OtherOptions]
<N> is the number of VMs you need to deploy.
<ESX_HOST> is the host where you will deploy your VMs
<TEMPLATE> is the template from which your VMs will be created
<DATASTORE> is the datastore that will contain your VMs
[-OtherOptions] are additional options that can be used in conjunction with New-VM command.
As you can see it's really basic, but New-VM cmdlet is really powerful and it has a lot of options. To go through all on New-VM options:
Get-Help New-VM -Detailed
Here's how I used it today for deploying 6 VMs that will be Oracle RAC nodes.
Open a text editor and paste this code in it saving file with .ps1 extension.
1..2 | Foreach {
New-VM -vmhost esx1.testdomain.com -Name RAC$_ -Template OL6 -Datastore datastore1
3..4 | Foreach {
New-VM -vmhost esx2.testdomain.com -Name RAC$_ -Template OL6 -Datastore datastore2 -ResourcePool TestResourcePool
5..6 | Foreach {
New-VM -vmhost esx3.testdomain.com -Name RAC$_ -Template OL6 -Datastore datastore3 | Start-VM
As you can see we are deploying 6 VMs, named RAC1 to RAC6 from a template called OL6.
RAC1 and RAC2 will be deployed on host esx1.testdomain.com, RAC3 and RAC4 on host esx2.testdomain.com and RAC5 and RAC6 on host esx3.testdomain.com.
RAC3 and RAC4 will be placed in a resource pool called TestResourcePool.
RAC5 and RAC6 will be powered on after deployment due to Start-VM cmdlet.
To run this simple script just open VMware vSphere PowerCLI, connect to your vCenter (or host) using Connect-VIServer cmdlet as stated in VMware: vSphere PowerCLI 101 post.
A progress bar will appear in your PowerCLI console
That's all!!Happy VMware Automation!!

A Goal of Speaking at PASS Summit
But one thing I didn't take advantage of was PASS and its huge community of SQL professionals. I knew about some of events, but it wasn't until 2012 that I got heavily involved. That decision forever changed my career. Since then, I started a blog about SQL Server, attended PASS Summit 2013, attended SQL Cruise 2014, started speaking at SQL user groups and SQL Saturdays, started working at Microsoft, attended SQL Cruise 2015, and most of all met a huge group of people that enjoy working with SQL Server as much as I do.
Eventually, I set a goal to be a speaker at PASS Summit. Well this past week I received notification that I had been chosen as a speaker for PASS Summit 2016. Upon hearing the news, I was extremely excited and humbled, especially considering there are far better speakers with more entertaining topics out there.
There are a lot of people that helped me along the way, but I'd like to really say thank you to my friend Andrew Kelly (b|t). Ever since I met him on board SQL Cruise, he has helped improve in the areas of public speaking, designing presentations, writing abstracts, code-review, and just an all-around great mentor.
However, this good news could not have come a worse time. 2016 has been a rough year for my family's health and it got substantially worse in early September when my wife was diagnosed with cancer. Luckily, doctors caught it very early and her prognosis is good, but we're still not taking any chances.
My good friend Scott, who is a cancer-survivor, told me "cancer is a radical disease and must be treated in radical ways" and to be prepared for any type of news throughout the treatment. I'm confident my wife can beat this and make a quick recovery, but until then I'll have to postpone speaking at PASS Summit. While I enjoy spending time with all of my friends within the SQL community, I love my wife and must focus all of my time to her recovery. There will always be time for another Summit.

June 19, 2012 12:00 ET
MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwire - Jun 19, 2012) - W3i, a leader in app distribution and monetization, announces the launch of a new strategic partnership with Genieo Innovation, a leading personalized newspaper-style homepage. This partnership dramatically increased revenue from users' homepage for both parties.
Genieo is an application that provides users with a personalized homepage experience that automatically updates its content, reflecting the changing personal interests of each user.
The goal for this partnership was to increase users' homepage LTV (lifetime value) by providing consumers real value through relevant and timely content, creating a sticky place where the user can spend time and catch up on their online and social worlds.
"With the W3i partnership, it was easy to quickly scale distribution for the Genieo/W3i co-branded homepage. We easily expanded distribution across all browsers and multiple operating systems, all while maintaining a great lifetime value and increasing revenues from display ads and the Yahoo! powered search bar for both parties," comments Sol Tzvi, Genieo CEO.
Distribution for the Genieo co-branded homepage expanded after a short pilot to all browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari) on Mac and Windows operating systems, while the lifetime value remained very positive.
When Genieo first went live with W3i, the application was receiving about 2,000 installs per day. After optimization and expansion, that number grew to over 20,000 installs per day. The success of the initial pilot led to a long-term partnership that is slated to grow exponentially.
"Our goal at W3i is to provide great apps with real value to our users. Through optimization and user feedback we continue to increase and extend the lifetime value of the user. The Genieo homepage partnership is a great example of all of these elements coming together," adds Lisa Nistler, W3i's SVP of Sales & Marketing.
