American beer
"I find American beer a bit like having sex in a canoe: it's fucking close to water."
American beer, often confused with either bat urine or water, is a low-alcohol beverage said to be enjoyed by many Americans and Canadian children. Canadians will often speak negatively of the low alcohol content of American beer because it does not cause fun side-effects such as blindness and gonorrhea like Canadian beer. There is also a disputed difference between the methods of detecting alcohol in each country. When faced with this fact, Canadians will either run away or turn into a purple moose.
Many American beers are not in fact beer at all, but rather beeroids. Others are unclassifiable disease-causing microbes.
American Beer, or Piss Flavored Water as it is more commonly known as, has noble roots, but something went horribly wrong along the way.
When the German, Czech, Belgian (yes, Belgian—don't laugh, I will explain later), Dutch, British, and Irish settlers came to America they brought with them their talent for brewing the best beers in the world. During its early history, American Beers mirrored their European counterparts in flavor and quality, this heyday of American Beers lasted for almost 4 generations and spawned many local breweries that used the best materials in the world for their beers and ales.
It should also be noted that Belgium has over 500 cities, yet over 750 beers that means there are more beer kinds in that little country, than there are fucking villages and cities. while America still has 2 kinds of piss-flavored-water. Pisswater and Pisswater light
These local breweries flourished for years under the strict control of a "Brewmaster" who had complete control over the entire brewing process, but the days of the small family owned breweries would soon come to an end.
With the invention of the assembly line, some enterprising individuals came up with the idea of mass producing these quality brews for not only locals to enjoy, but others across the country. It started out as a good idea, but problems began soon after. Disregard the previous sentence, the idea sucked.
Almost immediately manufacturers realized that finely crafted, quality beers would be impossible to produce in mass quantities at a reasonable price, corners needed to be cut, shortcuts had to be found and compromises had to be made. Thus, the age of modern American beer began.
Brewing process[edit]
American beer brewing was invented in 1985 by Irvine Petrov Freeley, a communist sympathizer who was well known for his illicit affairs with many of the political elite of New England.
The process of distilling American beer begins with its key ingredient: Canadian Beer. The Canadian Beer is consumed by baseball players during Major League baseball games, and then is filtered through the body into the kidneys. The beer is then expunged through the process of urination, into a disinfection chamber, then bottled and cooled for consumption. The net result is a beer that "tastes great" but is "less filling". It is theorized that most of its "filling" (also known as "alcohol") is burned off while on its journey through its respective baseball professionals' bodies.
Recently, the nature of this process has been criticized due to an increase in illegal drugs and chemicals appearing within American beers. Human rights activists are currently protesting this method of brewing, suggesting that the process should instead utilize liberals and cattle infected with mad cow disease, instead of humans. If this makes sense to you, then you are drunk.
American beer sucks because Belgian beer rules. German beer is decent but it pales in comparison to Belgian Beer.[citation needed] Really, you should only drink Belgian Beer; you could drink German or Czech beer in a pinch if you can't find any real beer, but if you stock up properly you won't ever run out of Belgian Beer. This advice runs counter to the common belief that German beer is the best in the world.
According to many medical professionals, drinking American beer causes impotence, cholera, spastic colon syndrome, leprosy, scurvy, shingles, consumption, dysentery, trench foot, pink eye, ringworm, and explosive diarrhea. However, these same medical professionals also drink American beer, and therefore cannot be trusted.
You have two beers: MillerBudCoors Light, and everything else.
MBC is cold filtered hot baseball piss cut with warm tap water, and called "draft" even though it is in a goddamn bottle. Its proponents say that it tastes "cold", even though cold is not a flavor. MBC donates all of its profits to Xtian causes, as they enjoy making beverages for people who hate beer.
"Everything else" is OK, as long as it is made by a guy with lots of tribal tattoos, comes with a funny name, and has a cool label. Most types of "everything else" are made in a garage by a couple of guys who failed high school chemistry but really like getting drunk. Most such brewers refer to their swill as "microbrew" because (supposedly) they make it in relatively small quantities. This is a lie: collectively, microbrewers produce roughly the same amount of beer as MillerBudCouours, but drink most of it before it leaves the garage.
American beer and Personality[edit]
Psychologists have determined that you can learn everything you need to know about a person by the type of beer they drink. George W. Bush drinks a gallon of MBC for breakfast every day because Laura Bush denies him sex, and if he didn't have a few coldies to take the edge off, he might have to go around blowing shit up for no reason. President elect Barack Obama probably drinks Goose Island Beer (from Chicago). Goose Island beer is really good, therefore, it is not an American beer. Unfortunately Goose Island Beer was bought by MBC for $38 million dollars so it is now American and no longer tastes good.

How to Transform HIV Prevention. 2010
HIV/AIDS and the transgender community
From the onset of the epidemic, HIV has greatly affected the world's most vulnerable populations, and among those most affected are women and gay and bisexual men. There is little information available, however, about how HIV has affected transgender women and men, despite evidence suggesting that they may be at high risk. With rates of new infections on the rise among gay and bisexual men, public health officials are beginning to scratch their heads over what may be occurring among transgender people. We must understand how HIV prevention and treatment can be tailored to meet the needs of this highly misunderstood population.
What Does "Transgender" Mean?
Transgender men and women are generally defined as people whose gender identity, expression, or behavior differs from their biological sex. Contrary to popular belief, not all transgender people choose to undergo sex reassignment surgery. Many do take hormones, however, to change their appearance to match the gender with which they identify.
From the "hijra" in India to the "twospirit" of Native American tribes, transgender people have been recognized in many civilizations and in many different regions of the world. Sadly, their history has been riddled with misconceptions, intolerance, and perhaps most troubling, neglect. All of these factors have contributed to disparities that leave transgender people vulnerable to a host of health issues, including HIV. Despite building political momentum in recent years by working in solidarity with the larger gay, lesbian, and bisexual movement, transgender people are often still invisible or ignored in discussions ranging from education to health care.
The lack of a national monitoring system that gathers data on transgender people results in a great deal of missing information. The U.S. Census does not include an option for people to indicate a transgender identity. This is extremely problematic, as the Census largely determines the funding of government programs aimed at populations with the greatest need. In the Census's current form, transgender people do not exist. Thus public health officials are left to speculate on their exact number, their average annual income, and how many are raising children, among other things. This creates a huge challenge for transgender advocates to obtain the necessary funding for programs aimed at advancing their well-being, as there are little to no data to identify their needs and support strategies to meet them.
What Do We Know About HIV and the Transgender Community?
Recently, California has begun formally documenting health trends among its transgender residents. As of 2002, the state began recording "male-to-female" and "female-to-male" as gender reporting options in publicly funded HIV counseling sites. In 2003, the California Department of Health Services released data that revealed that transgender clients had much higher rates of HIV diagnoses (6.3%) than clients of other high-risk categories. This includes men who have sex with men (4.2%) and partners of people with HIV (4.8%).
The California data provided muchneeded insight into the relationship between HIV and the transgender population, proving that the issue needs greater attention. Still, while California is the most populous state in the U.S., it does not provide a complete picture of the HIV epidemic among transgender people across the U.S.
In 2007, the CDC conducted a metaanalysis of 29 studies focusing on transgender women and five studies focusing on transgender men, to estimate the prevalence of HIV. This meta-analysis reported findings similar to those in previous literature: transgender people are disproportionately affected by HIV. Specifically, it revealed that 28% of transgender women studied tested positive for HIV.
Even more alarming are the rates of HIV among transgender people of color. The 2003 California data showed that HIV diagnoses among African-American transgender clients, at 29%, were significantly higher than among all other racial groups. The CDC's meta-analysis echoed these data, reporting that among transgender African-American women, 56% tested positive for HIV. This was dramatically higher than the rate of HIV-positive white transgender women (17%) .
Studies highlighting rates of HIV among transgender men are even more rare, but what research does exist points to low rates of HIV among this population. Because there is no reliable estimate of the size of the transgender population, however, it may be that the actual rate of HIV infection among both transgender men and women may be even higher than reported.
Why Are Transgender People at Higher Risk for HIV?
Discrimination plays a big role in the challenges transgender people face, which in turn makes them highly vulnerable to HIV over the course of their lives. Many transgender people experience discrimination early in life, within their families. Violence, emotional abuse, and rejection from family members leave them without the emotional and financial support that often help young people establish stability in adulthood.
A 2007 CDC study reported that 42% of transgender women participated in sex work. Of these women, 39% engaged in unprotected receptive anal intercourse.
Various studies point to transphobia and homophobia as barriers to transgender people successfully obtaining education, employment, social services, and housing. Lack of family and institutional support pushes transgender people to the margins of the formal economy. This is particularly burdensome to transgender people of color, who face additional discrimination based on their race or ethnicity. As a consequence, they often are exposed to stressful environments, experience social isolation, and participate in behavior that places their health and safety at risk.
Limited employment options may force transgender people to turn to the street as a source of income. Many turn to "survival crimes" such as sex work, drug sales, and theft. The 2007 CDC study reported that 42% of transgender women participated in sex work. Of these women, 39% engaged in unprotected receptive anal intercourse. This rate was even higher among all transgender women in the study (44%). Further, 39% of transgender women in the study reported sex while drunk or high.
Since health care is strongly tied to employment in the U.S., many transgender people have difficulty obtaining hormone treatments through legitimate health care facilities, with the CDC reporting that half of transgender people lack health insurance. As a result, many turn to the street for hormones, with 34% reporting nonmedical sources for hormones. Additionally, 25% reported injecting silicone. The high rate of transgender people injecting hormones and silicone raises serious concerns about their exposure to HIV through the use of nonsterilized injection equipment.
How Do HIV Medications Interact With Hormone Therapy?
Despite the high numbers of transgender people using hormone therapy, both through medical and nonmedical sources, little is known about the interactions and potential toxicities of hormones and HIV medications. There have been no major studies of the interaction between the two, and what is known about people with HIV taking hormone therapy and HIV medications at the same time has come from studies of menopausal women taking hormone replacement therapy to minimize the effects of menopause.
Studies show that some HIV drugs can decrease or increase the levels of hormones in the blood. Further, estrogen can cause reduced levels of some HIV drugs and put one at risk for viral rebound or drug resistance. Further research is necessary to observe any potentially harmful interactions among transgender people, as well as any side effects from long-term use of both hormone therapy and HIV medications.
Where to Go From Here?
Currently, there is no evidence-based HIV intervention tailored for transgender people. There is an urgent need to better understand the social and behavioral factors underlying their risk behaviors if we are to prevent more HIV infections in this population. Special efforts must be made to ensure that transgender people are involved in the design of HIV prevention efforts, to ensure a comprehensive and effective strategy.
HIV clinical trials should include transgender people in order to understand the effects of new medications on hormone therapies. These trials should also include transgender youth and seniors.
Lastly, public health agencies should advocate for education on transgender issues to minimize the physical and mental health disparities they face. This includes encouraging schools and families to foster positive identities among transgender youth.

My wife doesn't like science fiction or fantasy movies – she finds the effort of suspending her disbelief too much to enjoy herself. I'm a little bit like this when it comes to writing project designs or annual plans – it's just too much myth making for me to feel like it's time well spent.
The issue is this: 98% of the relevant information we need to write a good plan is unknown at the time we write it. We more or less know where we want to go, but the map we draw to get there is based on heroic assumptions about the terrain ahead well beyond our vision. We will certainly have gathered as much information as possible to help us create this map – government statistics about the project area, analyzed results from our own community surveys and focus group discussions, documentation from meetings with community leaders, and so forth. We may even have multiple scenarios mapped out to manage multi-dimensional risks that give our map a sense of flexibility to likely changes in conditions. But even with all this, a constant stream of unforeseen events, new information, and unpredicted behavior will quickly unravel our confidence in the assumptions on which our plan is based.
There is a saying, 'reality always wins.' Unexpectedly heavy rains will halve the planned number of community participants in workshops over the winter. A report showing the community's school to be lagging will suddenly shift their priority from the health sector to education. The death of a key community leader will drain the momentum out of a whole line of activities that she had championed. Election violence will create security risks that will keep staff out of the community for three weeks. A string of unannounced donor visits will throw off an entire month of work, leaving staff playing catchup for the quarter. The head office will announce changes in the financial software and chart of accounts for the coming fiscal year that will require several members of the administration team to attend training workshops, and they will then fall behind on requisitions and payments, forcing delays in planned development activities. Two staff members will give birth and three will get sick in an oddly coordinated attack on productivity right in the middle of the annual planning season. The dollar will weaken unexpectedly and suck 5% of the budget out from under foot. At times it will feel like Murphy's Law is in effect. Reality isn't polite, it doesn't wait for an invitation, it barges in. Reality always wins.
Double Jeopardy
We fall into the myth of the plan twice, once when we write the myth, and again when we try to manage to the myth. When we plan, we omit a reasonable cushion, making it unrealistic. When we manage, we apply an unreasonable rigidity, making it mythological. When things don't go as planned – when reality doesn't follow the myth – we make ever more heroic efforts to improve the planning process and increase the incentives to stick to the plan. That is, we make the plan even more detailed and rigid, falling further into land of make believe.
When Writing Plans. We write plans that fully utilize all available time and resources. This is foolish. Do we suppose that nothing will make unexpected demands on our time and resources or reduce our capacity? I did an experiment recently with a field team of development professionals. We tested their ability to plan their activities three months in advance – activities that were already based on the annual plan! They did alright the first month out, but by the time they got to the third month, over 30% of what they actually did no longer matched what they had planned to do. Yet most planning is done at least 12 months in advance, and project designs often have a 3-5 year time horizon.
Certainly we are not unaware that ahead in the darkness lurk beasts of the unexpected. Yet we are stoic in our planning, assigning all resources, finding a place for all capacity. Taking the offensive, we push hard to improve the planning process, attempting to capture the demons of uncertainty. We adopt ever more detailed DME standards and templates that implicitly assume sci-fi levels of prescience. We start the planning process earlier so that our time horizon is even further out than before. Yes, we should think things through before we act, and yes, we do owe it to our donors to give a pretty good idea about how their money is to be spent. But most of the plans I've read over the years evidence not so much professionalism and responsibility as collective self-deception.
When Managing Plans. Here is where the more significant problem with the myth comes in. It's one thing to make plans for a specific number of participants, and a specific number of purchased materials, and specific costs for things, and so forth – its another to prefer the myth of the plan over the reality of … reality. That is, when we apply rigidity to the plan and provide incentives to stick to it despite new information and changing conditions, we move into a realm of unicorns, fairy dust, and bad development practice.
Here's a typical practice: bind the budget to the plan through the logical framework, fence it in with margins on each activity line, and then make it an employee performance issue to stay within these margins. If you're making widgets, this makes sense. Good project management is about the ability to follow a plan – accomplish scheduled activities on time and under budget … if you're making widgets. If you're doing community development, though, do you really want to create incentives to follow a plan that was written while most relevant information was still hidden? This may be good in some ways for the organization, but doesn't' necessarily make for good development practice. Why would we voluntarily put ourselves into such a straight-jacket? We need the ability to make mid-course corrections. Once the real terrain comes to light and we realize that our planned route that looked so straight and perfect on paper six months ago will actually take us across a mountain range of under-capacity, across a gorge of community disinterest, and through a labyrinth of political complexity, we will be sorry to have bound ourselves to the path.
Since I've been on the subject of 'facipulation' in my last two posts, it's worth noting that binding development facilitators to a plan is a pretty good way to get them to start facipulating their discussions with the community. Ignoring new information from the community is a key facipulation skill. Finding ways to push off dealing with new events and conditions is too. Armed with the ability to say, 'well, it's not in the plan for this year, but we can talk about it in the next planning cycle' is a great way to side-step reality when your organization's plan is out of step with the community's preferred future. Hear that? That's the sound of your project stepping a rung or two down somebody's participation ladder.
Good project management in this context requires a team, structure, and policy environment that encourages adjustments to new information and events. It requires creativity, agility, flexibility, and very good communication between staff, volunteers, community members, and donors. In mythological terms, we should prefer the creative agility of Hermes over Odysseus' lashing of himself to the mast.
How Then Shall We Plan?
A good plan has four essential elements that define both how it is written and how it is managed.
- Shared Objectives. The community, the development organization, and donors should agree on the general objectives of working together. Not to be confused with the activities that will move them all toward these, the objectives describe the changes a "successful" project would contribute to bringing about. This is the core of the plan – to work together to make this preferred future a reality.
- Agreed Process. The partners should also agree how they are going to move forward toward these objectives. This includes a starting set of activities, but it allows for some of these to be dropped and for others not yet imaged to be included as future conditions become known. It also includes, perhaps more importantly, a process for working together – how, who, and when will the partners negotiate the next steps together; how will they deal with new information and events; what will the process be for monitoring progress; and how will decisions be made about the scarce resources available to the partners as they move forward.
- Guiding Principles. A set of principles that will guide decisions as tradeoffs and hard decisions come down the road. What are the values and principles against which two directions at a fork in the road should be considered.
- An adaptive Leader with Decision Rights to Lead its Implementation. I confess I came back and added this last one after I had already published this blog post, but I'm on a learning curve too, so bear with me. None of this works if you haven't got the right person at the helm, who is able and empowered to see and interpret new information affecting the project and then make adaptive decisions that keep the project moving toward the shared objective, regardless of whether or not it takes the activities off course in terms of the plan. Obviously, such decisions often have budgetary consequences and will necessarily involve the partners, but project managers are too often placed in straightjackets or treated like administrators. Recruit and hire a skilled and experienced adaptive leader, and then empower that person to be an adaptive leader to keep things truly on track.

"A lychgate, also spelled lichgate, lycugate, or as two separate words lych gate, (from Old English lic, corpse) is a gateway covered with a roof found at the entrance to a traditional English or English-style churchyard." (Wikipedia.)
An Ohio historical maker stands beside the stone lych gate at the entrance to Radnor Cemetery in Delaware County, Ohio:
"Built in 1910, this lych gate was designed by local architect William Robert Powell to commemorate early settlers of Radnor who emigrated from Wales. Traditional in England and Wales, lych gates are covered gateways used to shelter coffins until clergymen arrive for burial. The Radnor lych gate has two openings: a larger one designed for horse-drawn hearse and a smaller one for mourners. Powell added the tower to resemble a church steeple for a more ecclesiastical style. Constructed of stone from the local Meredith quarry, the gate features raised joints and oak gates to close the entrance."
Yes, I found some interesting old gravestones once I passed through the gate. Some will surely find their way to Gravestoned soon.

Over the past 57 years, Federal employees, postal workers, members of the military services and others have been supporting local, national and international charities through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). As Director of the Peace Corps, I was honored to accept the role as National CFC Chair when asked by OPM Director Jeff Pon.
The Peace Corps and the CFC have much in common. President Kennedy launched both programs in the same year. At the Peace Corps, we seek people who are inspired by impact that is hands-on, grassroots-driven, and lasting. The CFC "corps" also seeks people who are inspired by making an impact in the lives of people and the charities that support them.
Since its founding in 1961, civilian employee and military personnel pledges totaling more than $8.3 billion have helped those in need around the corner, across the nation, and throughout the world. Whether using electronic pledging or traditional paper forms, the "people-to-people" mission remains the same: to promote and support philanthropy through an employee focused, cost-efficient, and effective program. All Federal employees have the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all.
We ask you to Show Some Love by making a financial pledge, or volunteer time, to one or more of the many worthy charities in the campaign. Together, we will help wounded warriors, provide medical care, feed the hungry, house the homeless, protect animals and the environment, and make a difference in countless other ways.
All contributions, no matter how great or small, can have a huge impact, and in many cases, change someone's life. The CFC harnesses our collective power to impact the lives of millions of people while honoring our individual gifts to the causes we personally care about the most.
In addition to making a pledge, we are encouraged to share our volunteer experiences, and to encourage our fellow co-workers, friends, and family to do the same. We can inspire others to support causes that matter to them.
Take a moment to choose your cause and join us as we Show Some Love through the CFC. Together, we can make a significant difference for those in need by continuing this longstanding tradition of compassion through the campaign.
The Honorable Jody K. Olsen, Ph., D.
Peace Corps 2018
CFC Honorary Chairperson

Tlou energy limited (tlou.l) mesa average sinks below fama kaplan herald gas house edwards co
Tlou Energy Limited (TLOU.L) are being closely watched by investors as the firm's Mesa Adaptive Moving Average (MAMA) has dipped below the Fractional Adaptive Moving Average (FAMA), indicating that a potential bearish move might be forthcoming. The MESA Adaptive Moving Average, which was developed by John Ehlers, is a technical trend-following indicator which adapts to price movement "based on the rate change of phase as measured by the Hilbert Transform Discriminator". This method of adaptation features a fast and a slow moving average so that the composite moving average swiftly responds to price changes and holds the average value until the next bar's close. The author states that because the average's fallback is slow, trading systems can be created with almost whipsaw-free trades.
Tracking moving averages is one of the most universally used techniques for performing technical stock analysis. Checking on some basic levels for Tlou Energy Limited (TLOU.L), the 50-day Moving Average is currently 8.42, the 200-day Moving Average is 10.32, and the 7-day is standing at 8.19. Moving averages use a series of historical data combined with the current stock price for calculation. Traders may find value in combining multiple time periods using moving averages to help compare how the equity is faring on a long-term and short-term basis. Many investors may use MA's as a way to develop support and resistance levels in order to spot specific trade entries and exits.
Traders may also be paying close attention to RSI levels on shares of Tlou Energy Limited (TLOU.L). The current 14-day RSI is presently sitting at 46.29, the 7-day is 49.33, and the 3-day is 57.42. The RSI, or Relative Strength Index is a popular oscillating indicator among traders and investors. The RSI operates in a range-bound area with values between 0 and 100. When the RSI line moves up, the stock may be experiencing strength. The opposite is the case when the RSI line is heading lower. Different time periods may be used when using the RSI indicator. The RSI may be more volatile using a shorter period of time. Many traders keep an eye on the 30 and 70 marks on the RSI scale. A move above 70 is widely considered to show the stock as overbought, and a move below 30 would indicate that the stock may be oversold. Traders may use these levels to help identify stock price reversals.
When completing stock analysis, investors and traders may opt to review other technical levels. Tlou Energy Limited (TLOU.L) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -31.29. Investors and traders may use this indicator to help spot price reversals, price extremes, and the strength of a trend. Many investors will use the CCI in conjunction with other indicators when evaluating a trade. The CCI may be used to spot if a stock is entering overbought (+100) and oversold (-100) territory. The Average Directional Index or ADX is often considered to be an important tool for technical trading or investing. The ADX is a technical indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder used to determine the strength of a trend. The ADX is often used along with the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of the trend. Presently, the 14-day ADX is resting at 16.86.
Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would indicate a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would signal a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would indicate an extremely strong trend.

The billowing white plumes of smoke that rise from sugar-cane fields this time of year are a reminder of our strong agricultural industry.
The billowing white plumes of smoke that rise from sugar-cane fields this time of year are a reminder of our strong agricultural industry.
They are also environmental annoyances that do everything from burning sensitive eyes to irritating sinuses.
And, according to farmers and scientists, they are a necessary evil — at least for now.
"Field burning removes all post-harvest trash left on the soil surface," said Windell Jackson, senior agronomist with the American Sugar Cane League. "Leaving the cut sugar cane leaves to compost on the ground prevents the sun from heating up the soil. Leaving mulch in the field keeps the soil damp and promotes fungus and other plant disease growth — diseases that damage and kill the sugar cane root."
While that explains why the situation is as it is, future improvements on the current system are possible.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Research Station in Houma say they are looking for a way to remove the threat to future crops without creating an environmental hazard or an undue expense for the farmers.
That sounds like a good avenue of discovery. Unfortunately, they haven't come up with that critical improvement just yet.
The ideas they've looked at so far include using heartier plants that can withstand the difficulties the remaining mulch presents and ways of removing the plant matter without having to burn it.
Nothing yet, though, has proven better than the current method.
Part of the problem, of course, is that homes, subdivisions, shopping centers and other signs of urban sprawl have steadily encroached into the sugar-cane fields.
That means that people are closer to those fields more often than they were in the past. So irritants such as smoke can be more disruptive to the general public.
Farmers, though, say they do what they can to minimize the impact of their necessary burning.
"We don't burn cane fields near hospitals, nursing homes and schools when students are present," said farmer and Sugar Cane League President Wallace Ellender. "We remove the mulch from those fields by mechanical methods. It costs us a little more, but we're trying to make sure patients aren't disturbed."
The solution here is still missing. We must wait for a generations-old practice to be further refined by the people who know the most about it.
That hasn't happened yet, but there is every reason to think that the folks who work the soil will find a way.

Coffey Sonic
Post by Nonjatta contributor Stefan of Tokyo Whisky Hub.
Nikka is one of the big players in the drinks industry here. I, for one, am very fond of most of the things they put out, their single cask releases in particular--while these have made quite a name for themselves abroad (mostly because of Nikka's ambassador/distributor in Europe, La Maison du Whisky), they kind of quietly come and go here in Japan.
There's not a big fuss on the net, and that's got just to do with the fact that they are only available through the Asahi webshop. I usually make sure I get hold of a couple of bottles before they go, because they are, without exception, superb... in my experience, at least. They've also got quite a variety in their single cask range: there's the two distilleries, of course (Yoichi and Miyagikyo); they have a wide variety of peat-levels (from unpeated to highly peated) and cask types, but one of the interesting things about these releases is that they also, from time to time, include a Coffey grain or Coffey malt single cask. (For those not familiar with the Coffey still... google's your best friend.)
To get to the point, Nikka have got their own bar in Tokyo, the Blender's Bar in Minami-Aoyama. I avoid it as the plague far various reasons: it's a pain to get to when you live on the Chuo-line (as I do) and it's rather expensive (yes, here we go again...). Those are minor points, but what really gets on my nerves is the snobbishness and aloof "dignity" masquerading a profound incompetence and lack of knowledge on the part of most of the staff. Anyway, that's just my perception so don't be deterred and go check it out for yourself. Occasionally, I make my way to the Blender's Bar for special events (tastings, blending "seminars", etc.) and I must say, with a bit of practice, it is possible to block out the surroundings and enjoy the liquid marvels on offer there.
On my last visit, I noticed something of interest on the menu - a new concoction called the "Coffey Sonic" (sounds a bit like a Britpop band name, now doesn't it). I just had to find out. Well, it's a highball of sorts with a Coffey single grain base (and a twist of lime). Sceptics might think: "What's the point of wasting grain whisky that's good enough to be bottled as a single cask on a highball?" I say, "Get out your cloak of invisibility, head on over to the Blender's Bar and order one... You'll see."
It's absolutely phenomenal!

Democrats take on GOP over paycheck fairness for women
Senate vote may force lawmakers to explain views
WASHINGTON - Shifting its focus on women's issues from the bedroom to the pocketbook, congressional Democrats hope to challenge Republicans, including Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts, to a potentially incendiary debate over narrowing the pay gap between the sexes.
Senate majority leader Harry Reid is expected to bring the Paycheck Fairness Act before his chamber on Tuesday for a procedural vote, a calculated showdown primarily designed to exploit the political chasm on women's issues between Democrats and Republicans and force Brown and other Republicans to explain to female constituents.
Brown faces a tight reelection contest against Democrat Elizabeth Warren. Some women's groups in Massachusetts are pressuring him to reverse his vote against the bill in 2010, when it failed in the Senate.
"We strongly urge you to put women and their families first among your priorities and vote to ensure that women earn the same wage for the same work,'' the Massachusetts Women's Political Caucus, a nonpartisan group supporting women in politics, said in a letter to Brown.
"The gender wage gap is a harsh reality that impacts the lives of millions of American women and their families every day,'' the letter said.
The Paycheck Fairness Act would build on the Equal Pay Act of 1963, and more recently the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, by requiring employers of companies with pay discrepancies to provide a reason for the gap. The bill would bar employers from retaliating against employees who discuss pay. The $15 million measure would also fund programs intended to teach women how to negotiate better salaries and require the federal government to create a salary databank that could help regulators better monitor pay gaps.
American women make about 77 cents for every dollar earned by men, according to data compiled by the US Census Bureau. In Massachusetts, women fare slightly better, making 81 cents for every dollar earned by men.
"We've got to understand this is more than just about fairness,'' President Obama said during a conference call with reporters. "Women are the breadwinners for a lot of families, and if they're making less than men do for the same work, families are going to have to get by for less money for child care and tuition and rent, small businesses have fewer customers.''
Emily's List, a national benefactor for Democratic women running for office who support abortion rights, took aim at former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, the presumed Republican nominee for president, for declining to answer questions on his position on the legislation.
"Of course Governor Romney supports pay equity for women,'' said a spokeswoman, Amanda Henneberg. "In order to have pay equity, women need to have jobs, and they have been getting crushed in this anemic Obama economy, losing far more jobs than men.''
Henneberg declined to say whether Romney supports the proposed legislation or whether he would have signed the Lilly Ledbetter law, which eased the previous statutory limit on lawsuits.
While passage of the paycheck bill is unlikely, the unfolding debate is providing a talking point for Democrats.
Warren, freshly anointed over the weekend as Brown's Democratic challenger, alluded to the paycheck debate during her speech to the state Democratic convention.
Her campaign, she said, stands "for women, equal pay, and access to birth control'' - adding, "Boy, I never thought I'd need to say that in 2012.''
Brown, who has bucked GOP leadership on a few issues, said he will join his party in blocking the legislation.
"I believe strongly in fair pay, and employers who discriminate against women should be prosecuted aggressively,'' he said, but he called the legislation "flawed and overreaching.'' He deemed the measure a job killer that would add to the burdens of small businesses.
Brown and other opponents of the legislation say it would restrict employers' ability to pay wages based on performance, workplace hazards, and geographic considerations.
Aileen Gorman, director of the Commonwealth Institute, a network of female chief executives, entrepreneurs, and senior corporate executives, dismissed Brown's reasoning.
"People need to be enlightened. He needs to be enlightened. Women doing the same job as a man need to get paid the same,'' said Gorman, a Democrat and Warren supporter. "If you're looking to get women voters, then he's going about it all wrong. This stuff translates at the ballot box.''
Brown's office said he "strongly supports'' the Ledbetter act and would have voted for its passage.
"Scott Brown is in a very tough fight, and now he's airing commercials that say he's a moderate, and this would be a great test,'' said Evelyn Murphy, who served as the lieutenant governor of Massachusetts for one term in the 1980s and now leads the national WAGE Project, a Brookline-based group advocating for pay equity and the end of sexual discrimination in the workplace.

PretonSaver Home Edition is a simple tool that aims to cut your printer costs by up to 70%.
The program works with both inkjet and laser prints, regardless of model. And there's no complex setup or configuration involved. Just launch it, leave PretonSaver running in the background, and it'll automatically optimise toner and ink usage, which the authors say can provide "up to 70% cost savings while maintaining print quality". It even displays little pop-up alerts after every print job, telling you how much cash you've saved so far.
Does it really work? We've not carried out the long-term tests necessary to figure that out, and it would be hard to offer a definitive answer anyway (results will vary depending on your printer and the type of page that you normally print). There didn't seem to be any significant loss of print quality in our test pages, though, so PretonSaver is certainly worth a try.
Please note, to activate the program you'll need to obtain a free licence key from here.This is only for non-commercial use, though. Businesses should grab a copy of PretonSaver Premium, which you can find here.
An interesting idea that really could save you plenty of cash

Contact: Kevin Moore, 435-719-2120
Due to the continued very high fire danger and current level of fire activity in the State of Utah, Superintendent Kate Cannon has announced fire restrictions for Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, and Natural Bridges and Hovenweep National Monuments.
Fires are permitted only in designated fire grates in developed campgrounds and picnic areas. All open fires are prohibited in backcountry campsites. However, petroleum fueled stoves and grills will still be permitted in designated backcountry campsites, as well as developed campgrounds and picnic areas. Smoking is also prohibited, except within enclosed vehicles, parking lots or developed areas that are cleared of all flammable materials for at least three feet in diameter. Visitors are reminded to exercise caution and to properly extinguish all lighted smoking materials.
In the river corridors where there are no designated campsites, petroleum fueled stoves are probably the safest method for cooking, however charcoal fires will be allowed if completely contained within a metal fire pan. These fire restrictions are effective beginning June 27, 2013 at 12:00 a.m. and will remain in effect until further notice.
Information on statewide fire restrictions can be found at: http://www.ut.blm.gov/Fire/restrictions.htm.

Extra Points: Jets treated Tebow like a football player
Philadelphia, Pa – The New York Jets are a circus, so much so that they could probably win a trademark lawsuit against Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey.
That said, the narrative coming from the Tim Tebow apologists in the last 24 hours is a little tough to take and even more difficult to understand.
The Jets, of course, waived the popular quarterback on Monday morning, just days after the team selected former West Virginia signal-caller Geno Smith in the second round of the NFL Draft.
"We have a great deal of respect for Tim Tebow," said Jets coach Rex Ryan in a statement. "Unfortunately, things did not work out the way we all had hoped. Tim is an extremely hard worker, evident by the shape he came back in this offseason. We wish him the best moving forward."
Tebow, of course, spent one forgettable season with the Jets, who acquired him from Denver in March 2012. It was thought he would give the Jets another weapon in the Wildcat formation, but badly overmatched offensive coordinator Tony Sparano rarely used him, and when he did, it was woefully ineffective.
In 12 games last season, the former Heisman Trophy winner threw just eight passes and completed six for 39 yards. He also ran just 32 times for just 102 yards.
The indictment from Tebow's many fans reads something like this: The Jets dumped him two days after the draft, knowing that other teams' rosters were filled, lessening his chances of finding another job in the league.
And this was all done out of spite.
On every conceivable level, that kind of thinking is not only flawed, it's laughable.
As dysfunctional as the Jets can be, why would new general manager John Idzik, who didn't even bring Tebow to North Jersey, want to humiliate what is by all accounts a very good person and incredibly hard worker? Sparano, meanwhile, is long gone and Ryan is a lame duck, coaching for his job
Stick with Occam's razor on this one -- sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one.
Idzik didn't feel Tebow was a good fit for what he is building with the Jets, but, like any other player, regarded him as an asset and was hoping to get a late-round draft pick for him. When that didn't pan out and the Jets got Smith in the second round, the die was cast.
"The way we looked at it was we had a player on our roster that we wanted to allow to compete and then we're always holding options open in terms of acquiring someone else for the competition or if there's trade talks or whatnot," Idzik said in an ESPN Radio interview Tuesday morning. "That's kind of a standard operating procedure."
The Jets had six quarterbacks on the roster by Saturday morning, and Smith, incumbent starter Mark Sanchez, last year's backup Greg McElroy, and the recently signed David Garrard were all ahead of Tebow in Idzik's mind (the other QB is Matt Simms).
You can make an argument that Idzik is wrong is his assessment of Tebow, but this clearly wasn't personal, it was business.
If you checked the NFL transaction wire Monday night, you found 14 other names on the waiver wire beside Tebow from six different teams. Ask yourself, were all of those players being humiliated?
More names will be added to the wire in the coming days, a spike that happens every year after the draft.
In fact, early Tuesday morning the Minnesota Vikings dropped speedy cornerback Nick Taylor, the former Florida International point guard and Arena League player who injured his shoulder in training camp last season.
Did you really think Rick Spielman was trying to limit Taylor's options moving forward or made the decision based on the fact he drafted Florida State corner Xavier Rhodes in the first round last Thursday and then signed veteran Jacob Lacey on Monday?
Football is a tough way to make a living. It's an ultra-competitive atmosphere in which you can have a job one minute and be unemployed in the next. That's the sword of Damocles that hangs over every single player, not just high- profile ones like Tebow.
And never forget the obvious -- any NFL team could easily jettison that undrafted rookie free agent signing from Appalachian State and fit Tebow on what is a 90-man roster limit right now.
The NFL has always been about results, not spite and Tebow will get another chance if someone believes he can help.

Pastry ... and a watercress tart
This weekend I have cracked pastry-making. Perfect every time (4x). And, of course, it's not rocket science; but it's satisfying, all the same, to be able to write it down.
Put into a processor bowl:
200g strong* white flour
100g cubed butter, preferably straight from the fridge, but, actually, it doesn't matter
1 egg
1 tbsp water
Blitz until it forms a ball.
Roll it out until it will cover a 23cm** tin. If you used warm butter, it will stretch to a larger tin, but you will have to roll it around your pin to put it in place, AND you will have to patch it more. Speaking of which, this pastry takes well to patching.
Put it in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. All the pastry cases I made were rock hard when I put them into the oven, and this may well be a factor in their success.
Bake blind for 15 minutes at 190-200C, covered with paper and beans. The first time I gave the pastry an additional five minutes without the beans to dry it out.
You can press straight on, or leave the pastry to cool before going further. The custard will need to cook for 30 minutes, although you may need to turn it down a little for the last 10 minutes. Let it settle for 5-10 minutes before serving ... better for the tart, easier for the cook.
*strong flour is what you need for making bread, as it is full of gluten; this pastry is noticeably stretchy once it has come together in a ball .... so I think the flour is probably the secret
**A 23cm tin is just a bit too small for a 6-egg flan, but if the butter is warm and the pastry has stretched to a slightly larger tin, then the 6 egg mix is perfect: 2 whole eggs, 4 egg yolks, 500ml single cream poured over ... bacon for quiche Lorraine, or chopped watercress and a sprinkling of finely grated strong Cheddar, which I made for the vegetarians for Easter lunch but which was wolfed down by the carnivores too.

I have been given loads of frozen, ripe, whole plums. I have made all sorts of things but would now like to make some jam. Could you please tell me just how I go about weighing the plums so I can add the correct amount of sugar? I think, if I weighed them frozen, I would probably get too much liquid. But how can I weigh them thawed without losing too much liquid? Should I thaw over a bowl and save some of it? I would appreciate your advice as I made jam with the same plums when they were fresh and it was delicious.
Gloria Batty
Scientifically speaking, the amount of liquid in a kilogram of fresh fruit or vegetables, versus frozen, is identical. The difference is that if you were to use frozen fruit in something like a muffin or cake, the liquid that will ooze from the fruit can affect the finished baked goods, making them soggy. As the fruit defrosts the cell walls, both internally and externally, break down so liquid which otherwise is held within the cells, leaks out. I've successfully made muffins using snap-frozen individual raspberries (I add them to the mixture still frozen). But less successfully, when I once tried to roast some previously frozen pumpkin for a chunky risotto, the pumpkin flesh had become watery and fibrous at the same time.
The planned chunky risotto was instead presented as a slightly smooth pureed pumpkin and al dente rice affair. Still tasty (flavour wasn't lost) but not what I'd intended. Likewise an upside down plum cake I made ended up with a soggy bottom (then top) when made from frozen fruit. So the next time I made it, I defrosted and drained the plums before putting them in the cake tin. I simmered and reduced the defrosted juices with a little honey and orange juice which I used to glaze the finished cake.
When making your jam you can drain the fruit in a sieve or muslin if you like, and use this weight to decide on the ratio of sugar to use. By draining the fruit before weighing it you will likely increase the flavour profile of the jam as you've simply removed "water" from the fruit (in the same way that dehydrating fruit also increases the intensity of the fruit). You may find you need to add a little extra lemon juice or similar to counteract the increased sweetness. Or you may find that the end result is so good you'll never use fresh fruit again.
Unlike the plums you have, likely to have been grown by a friend, some commercial frozen fruits are lacking in flavour because they are usually harvested before optimum ripeness as picking, grading and snap-freezing is easier to handle if the fruit is less ripe and therefore more firm. Bear this in mind when making jams, as you may find adding spices (fresh or candied ginger, lightly toasted cloves, star anise or cinnamon etc) is a good way to add character to finished jam if the fruitiness is lacking.
On the other hand most commercial fruit purees seem to be made from perfectly ripe fruit, because squashed fruit in a factory situation isn't such a problem when making a puree. If my fruit jams, sauces or compotes don't taste as fruity as I'd like (especially in winter) then I'll add some frozen puree. If using commercial purees check the ingredients as some do contain a lot more than just the fruit.
Talking of dehydrated fruit, currently on the menu at dine by Peter Gordon I have a dessert which features meringue fingers flavoured with strawberries. I was keen to have an intense and slightly pink meringue and it was obvious that the only way to do this was to mix crushed, sieved dehydrated strawberries into the meringue mixture before piping. I sprinkled the bits that didn't go through the sieve on top of the meringues and baked them as usual. What I ended up with were slightly fruity aromatic fingers that really added the wow factor to a dessert that also features strawberry ripple ice cream and raspberry puree. Fabulous!
I use dehydrated strawberries from Fresh-As' terrific product range - I wish they were available in Britain (see fresh-as.com for local stockists).

text: A chance meeting with director Richard Linklater is to thank for the multimillionaire-dollar leading-man career of Matthew McConaughey. That introduction got him cast in 1993's "Dazed and Confused" and his wry charm, onscreen ease and hunky good looks made Linklater beef up the part into the most memorable and most quoted character in the retro comedy. His line "Just Keep Livin'" is both his interview sign-off and the name of his production company. Since his debut, he's bounced between dramas ("A Time To Kill," "Contact," "The Lincoln Lawyer"), romantic comedies ("The Wedding Planner"), comedies ("Tropic Thunder"), thrillers ("Killer Joe") and vehicles to show off the super-toned bod he got from living by the mantra "Sweat every day." (Think "Magic Mike" and just about every other role he's taken. He's so charismatic that even his 1999 run-in with the law for playing bongos naked while allegedly high on marijuana is more likely to elicit a smile than a rant. People's Sexiest Man Alive 2005 had dalliances with many high-profile partners like Ashley Judd and Penelope Cruz before marrying model Camilla Alve in June 2012. They have three children — Levi (b 2008.), Vida (b. 2010) and Livingston (b. 2012).

Lady Gaga to Donate LennonOno Grant Money to AIDS Charity
Lady Gaga was awarded the LennonOno Grant for Peace by the venerable Yoko Ono on Tuesday (Oct. 9), and promptly announced that she would donate the accompanying grant money to her friend and collaborator Elton John's AIDS charity. So she acted in the true spirit of the award by making the donation.
"I will be donating this grant to the Elton John AIDS Foundation and I will be working closely with them to ensure that the money goes specifically to those orphaned and disadvantaged youth in America born with HIV or AIDS," Gaga revealed in her acceptance speech.
So Gaga is not paying lip service. She is actually making sure the funds are allocated in a very specific way and exactly how she intends them to be.
The LOGFP is given out biennially (which is every two years) and Gaga was the recipient due to her work to support and further gay rights, something she is intensely passionate and tireless about.
Ono labeled the Mother Monster as "powerful," and celebrated the fact that "she is using her power to do other things than just singing." Truth.
The award is given to people who campaign for peace efforts. Some reports indicated that the amount of the coinciding grant has never been revealed, so we don't know exactly how much Gaga will be donating to John's AIDS charity; however, some reports have surfaced indicating that it was $50,000.
Whatever the case, but big ups to her for being so generous.

I (A.S.) liked this story because it had a lot of details and the pictures were nice and neat. I (R.H.) liked that the book had pigs in it that were very smart. We have heard this story before but we liked how this one is a little bit different.
We think everyone should read this book. People that want to read a pig story that is funny should read it for sure. It will make you laugh.

These pages contain information on how KDE can make use of the MetaInfo data provided by the Freedesktop.org AppStream project.
MetaInfo files are used to describe a software component in a distribution. The metadata these XML files provide contains information about the public interfaces this component provides, the descriptions of the component, as well as additional things such as icon information and categorization. There are several special components, for example for applications, web-applications, fonts, codecs and input-methods. The information defined in these files is used by AppStream-compatible software centers (such as Apper or GNOME-Software) to display them to the user. In the following, we describe for different kinds of KDE software components how to write proper AppStream MetaInfo files. A project may ship multiple metadata definitions, for example if it ships an application and a library, or multiple applications.
|All metadata files follow the same XML rules and are essentially the same. The separation made on this page is solely to address different groups of people and different projects, to help them getting started quickly without reading too much information which is not relevant for the project they are developing.
Applications are (usually graphical) programs which show up in the applications menu, meaning they have a .desktop-file. You can read more about how to write metadata for them on the page about desktop-apps.
A generic component is a software project which doesn't fit into a specific category. This is usually a shared library or framework which wants to publish information about the public interfaces it provides in a distribution, to make it easier for developers to find the component in the distribution's repositories. You can find information on how to write metadata for a generifc component on the page about generic components.
Scripty will extract all translatable strings and merge the translated content back into the original XML file, just like we do with .desktop files.
Different distros cut and join different source packages in different ways, plus, some don't offer translations.
This is one file per-project and is not suitable when one tarball will install several applications. It's also not translatable, and it does not allow specifying information about public interfaces.
The upstream meta-information is a subset of the AppStream distribution data schema, which is also XML.
We will scrape this data when building and composing distributions, and depending on the implementation will either use an OCS server or directly copy the AppData data into the AppStream metadata. In distributions, this data will be used in software-centers, as well as in other tools to query the installation of missing components.
The metadata files have a ".appdata.xml" suffix if the component described inside is an application (type="desktop"), while in any other case the suffix is ".metainfo.xml". Reason for that is that the metadata files should be named after the string defined in their <id/> tag, which is the basename of the .desktop-file for applications. Due to historical reasons, the .desktop-suffix is omitted in AppData files. If now a project wants to ship an application and a different component with the same name, there might be naming collisions (e.g. an application named "foo.desktop" and a component with the same name). To avoid these, only applications use the ".appdata.xml" suffix. Also, "appdata" in a way implies that there is an application described inside.
For further reading, we suggest taking a look at the AppStream documentation and its XDG wiki page.

Panasonic has always made good, solid and high-quality camcorders. The problem is, video-only devices are dying a little bit in this day and age. The reason, as you might expect, is that lots of people are using phones and still cameras to capture their video.
And then there's GoPro, and the other action camcorders, which have suddenly become all the rage. These small, portable and amazingly rugged camcorders are popular because they can survive an apocalylse, don't cost the earth, and offer flexibility and quality that was impossible a few years ago.
Now Panasonic wants in on this market, so it's devised one of these action cameras. But rather than just copying what's already out there, the company has come up with something a bit different. The result is a camera that bolts to a mount designed to be worn on your head. Unlike the GoPro, there's no requirement for a helmet mount, or a hard mount to something else. The Pani is worn on a band that goes around the back of your head, and is located quite close to one of your eyes.
It's also set up differently. First, the camera has no built-in recorder. Instead, it's connected via a cable to a separate recorder. The battery and microSD card are located in here and it's designed to be worn somewhere else on your body, or slung in a pocket.
While we like this system, it's also where the flaws were on the prototype we saw - Panasonic hasn't announced a firm date for this camera yet, aside from saying that it will be coming this year. The first flaw is that the battery can't be removed, this is a big problem for long-term use, and is sure to put some people off. The other, arguably, is that cable, which while fine for most uses, doesn't work as simply as a GoPro does.
On the plus side, the Panasonic action cam has some massive advantages. It's got Wi-Fi built in, which allows for live broadcast over the internet, as well as control via a mobile application. You also get a f/2.5 lens with a 160-degree field of vision.
The camera can record 1080p at 60fps, 720p at 120fps and 640p at 240fps. That's some serious potential for slow motion right there, or you could make your own debut into Hobbit-style high frame rate cinema, if you like.
There are no details yet on what the price will be, although Panasonic said it would compete with the other similar cameras on the market. As for release date, there was no info about this either when we saw the demo unit.

Daniel Gin Photography
I'm a photographer based in Chicago that specializes in wedding and lifestyle photography. My photography isn't limited to just weddings and family portraits; it also includes commercial event and product photography. I recently added cinematic videography to the services that I offer. For examples of my work, please visit my website at: http://www.dangin.com
I'm targeting couples who are looking for a photographer with a contemporary look and feel to capturing their wedding day. Most of my clients are young professionals that live in/nearby downtown Chicago. What they are not looking for are very traditional, stodgy, a lot of posed photos by an uptight guy with a camera.
I'm looking for a logo that reflects sophisticated and contemporary. The final design needs to be submitted to me in high resolution in the following formats:
.ai (CMYK)
.psd (layered, RGB)
.png (w/ transparent background)
While I prefer my full name (Daniel Gin) in the artwork, I'm okay with if it being shortened to Dan Gin in order to fit a certain design you have in mind. Please avoid using camera clip art or cartoons. Come to think of it, I'm not too keen on most clip art, but I may be surprised... Design must work with either transparent or black background (current website theme has black background). Use of the Chinese characters in the current logo (see attached) is not required but I can make them available if you'd like to incorporate it into your design.

While I was in Switzerland for the mountain cartography workshop in Lenk this February, Tom Patterson arranged a visit with Toni Mair, an outstanding relief model artist working near Zürich. We met Toni at the train station and he drove us up to his house where we had tea and met his gracious wife Myrtha. Afterwards, we toured Toni's atelier or artist studio where several completed and under-construction models were on display. Stefan Räber from ETH-Zürich has an article (PDF) on Toni and his technique that I'll summarize inline with my photos after the jump.
Toni Mair has been creating sculptural, three-dimensional alpine landscape representations since 1972 (that's over 35 years) and his talent shows. In fact, Toni is one of the only traditional artist still creating these models by hand. His first attempt was the Rafzerfeld while he was a high school geography teacher in Zug. He made models on the side during that time and after retirement in 2002 relief modeling became his full time job. Toni learned his time-honored craft from über model maker and eminent cartographer, Eduard Imhof.
There has been a resurgence in this field recently with automated, CAD-assisted solid terrain modeling that is capable but course in its ability to capture fine landscape detail or rock overhangs and suffers from fuzzy ink-jet printing.
Toni Mair has created dozens (list) of intricately detailed, large-scale, 1:1 vertical z-scaling models painted with the land cover, rock, ice, glaciers, forest textures, waterfalls, roads, tracks, town buildings, church spires, ski gondolas, mountain huts, and climbing routes. Besides the detailed painting, accurately carved rock textures best exemplify Toni's unique talents. His work is displayed in museums and private collections around the world.
There are 10+ more photos and captions. Click the "Read more…" link below Photo 1 to continue.

David Gollaher on Gordon Binder's "Science Lessons"
TheFunded.com Advice
Posted by MedTech Expert on 2008-04-30
Tags: Venture Business Vision
"Science Lessons: What the Business of BioTech Taught Me About Management" by Gordon Binder, Harvard Business School Press.
The firm (Amgen) was founded in 1980 by six venture capitalists who put up $81,000 each. Their strategy was, by today's standards, incredibly broad: to exploit the new science of genetic engineering for human health...Amgen consisted then of just three people and "couldn't point to any products or patents, only a plan."
One of the books central tenets is that there's never enough money.
Amgen made forays into various fields, from porcine growth hormone to detergent enzymes. None panned out. The company's central focus, however, remained human therapeutics, where it had five potential products. Of these, Binder describes erythropoietin (EPO) as "the runt of the litter."
The rest is history as EPO went on to become Amgen's runaway success making Amgen one of the most successful biotech start-ups of its day.

A late summer wedding in Montauk, NY is just about as close to bliss as one can get. The warm days, cooler nights, salty air and bright colors make up a pretty perfect setting, and the real wedding of Anne and Chris shows us just how perfect it really was. The wedding, featured on Cappy Hotchkiss Photography, is dubbed "J.Crew I do" because the party is head-to-toe in the popular brand. It fits just right for these nautical nuptials, so we give props to the young couple for their killer style.
Have you ever seen a better looking bridal party? White weddings are classic but those colorful shoes definitely make a statement. Anne and Chris chose our Big Day wedding invitation customized with a heart and their initials at the top. Our favorite part has to be the dress suggestion at the bottom: Dress Sharp.
Each table included some handmade details, along with bright and beautiful bouquets by Flowers by Beth.
Our Big Day menus and table signs complimented the decor nicely.
Sparklers are always a nice touch when bidding adieu to the newlyweds. Congratulations to Anne and Chris! For more photos, visit Cappy Hotchkiss Photography.
