Acterra's volunteers are passionate, informed, and fun! I admire the organization's breadth of work, high impact outreach, and ability to talk about environmental issues in a way that is appealing to diverse audiences.
Acterra_membership 03/29/2016 Thank you very much! We are glad Acterra is able to provide a breadth of environmental work that has considerable reach and impact for a wide variety of audience across SIlicon Valley!
Acterra is an exceptional organization, comprised of dedicated and passionate staff, board members and volunteers who are truly committed to affecting positive change in the world through local action. They are leaders in their community and, in working with them on the planning of their annual Party for the Planet gala and attending their Business Environmental Awards, I was continually impressed by their ability to inspire and influence individuals, companies and other organizations to follow their lead and take positive, tangible action to affect powerful change.
I like to volunteer my time with Acterra as I highly value the work they do. They truly embody the spirit of local action that address global issues. Whether through education with their speaker series, or "hands on" activities such as their electric vehicle events, or acknowledging governmental agencies and businesses from small to large for their innovative and outstanding environmental programs, Acterra is focused in doing what they can to improve our world and I am glad to help them do it.
I have been a member for many years, don't recall how many now. When I joined it was still called the Peninsula Conservation Foundation. I love Acterra because it keeps me informed on both local and national issue around the environment. I have attended many of their community events over the year and learned a great deal. I look forward to their lecture series which features excellent scientists, environmental entrepreneurs, thinkers, and community members. The most recent event I attended was in July to a group showing of "An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power" with a discussion group afterwards. The discussion group really added to my experience of the movie and I got to meet likeminded people who are inspired and help inspire me to take care of our planet!
As a long-time donor to Acterra, I know that my contributions are put to work to create local solutions for a healthy planet. While thinking globally and acting locally, Acterra's science-based approach gives us hope while reinforcing community.
Acterra is now focused on the most urgent issue of our time: climate change. They do so by promoting and supporting energy efficiency and renewable energy, transportation innovation, and sustainable business practices in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I highly recommend Acterra!
This is a great community based environmental non-profit that is spreading the word locally about climate change and assisting people to reduce their carbon footprint. I participated in their Grren@Home which is part of their Energy & Climate program. This got my wife and I galvanized to successfully improve our carbon footprint of our home and cars. Also, their Business Environmental Awards are truly inspirational. https://www.acterra.org/bea
Acterra recently organized a viewing and discussion of a new film about Climate Change called "An Inconvenient Sequel." Their program both informed me and gave me a chance to interact with other interested people. Other programs they've done in the past have been excellent, too.
Acterra arranged for a very well attended preview showing of Al Gore's new movie in a local theater. Afterwards, close to 50 of the audience went to a local hotel bar where Acterra volunteers facilitated small group discussions related to the movie. For those of us in the climate movement, this was a great public educational experience and some networking at the after-show event has already resulted in some new connections for me. Thank you, Acterra.
I volunteered with Acterra for their first Ride and Drive event as part of National Drive Electric Week 2016. I've shown and offered test rides with my car at multiple NDEW events each year for 3 years now and was very impressed with Acterra's organization and how smooth and well run the event was, especially for a first time event! Their team did a great job.
I've learned some really useful and practical things at two Acterra events this summer: a workshop about energy efficiency and a test drive event for EVs. The staff are very knowledgeable, and their commitment to environmental issues is contagious.
In one of the most innovative regions in the world, Acterra is helping to drive the most significant innovations for our shared future. Their Business Environmental Awards shine a light on breakthroughs in sustainability projects and practices in organizations of all sizes. As someone who works in technology, I find the stories and case studies of Acterra award winners as inspiring as any advance in technology. For individuals, Acterra's workshops and education programs provide a clear path for action. Acterra succeeds in creating a community of shared passion and purpose that leads to real change.
I volunteered with Acterra throughout high school and found the staff to be enthusiastic and knowledgable. Our workdays were productive and fun!
Really did a great job on educating high schoolers and making a permanent difference in Arasterdero Regional Park.
Acterra is a truly outstanding organization that models the philosophy of "think globally and act locally." The staff and many volunteers are passionate, engaged and very effective and making things happen. Acterra's agenda encompasses some of the most important issues of the day, including climate change, water conservation and natural resources and habitat. I highly recommend getting involved with Acterra or supporting their work with a donation.
Acterra has been a tremendous asset to the peninsula area. The amount of work that a very small team does with its large set of volunteers for the environment is exceptional.
Acterra is a group that truly cares about making a difference in the environment and promoting better community engagement in awareness and protection. From honoring admirable companies' initiatives to group stewardship programs, Acterra is truly working hard to fulfill its mission. Plus its a team of wonderful and dynamic people!
Very helpful and have a lot of great information! I spoke to them about energy efficiency and the provided a lot of great resources.
Acterra_membership 03/29/2016
Thank you! We appreciate your comment and happy to provide our community with resources on energy efficiency!
Helped me to learn a lot about California native plants and their impact on the ecosystem! Everyone is very knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly helpful! Great community service opportunities.
I am an instructor at De Anza College and I have had the pleasure of working with Acterra for many years. Joanne McFarlin, a Senior Ecologist with Acterra, works tirelessly to ensure my students are provided with meaningful and inspiring experiences each year. Joanne leads field trips, teaches my students about stream health and water quality, and provides hands-on restoration experience through volunteer opportunities. She shows students in very tangible ways how an individual can make an impact on the environment through their choices and through community involvement.
Last spring (2014), we expanded our relationship with Acterra when Joanne invited us to partner with them in a restoration project at McClellan Ranch. Students in my class collected baseline data for the project, recording the incidence of invasive species of plants in the meadow at McClellan Ranch. To do this, Joanne and Barbara Banfield (Cupertino's City Naturalist) taught students how to perform point-intersect transects and to identify several species of plants. Honors students in my class compiled the data and wrote a report for Joanne to use in her official report. The data collected last spring will be compared to data collected by students in future classes so that changes in meadow species composition can be quantified as the restoration proceeds. I am extremely grateful to Joanne and Acterra for providing my students with the opportunity to do "real science" and to participate in the restoration of McClellan Ranch. Acterra provides my students with invaluable experiences, and I thank them very much.
Previous Stories
I am a teacher at De Anza College and have worked with Acterra, specifically Joanne McFarlin, an Acterra ecologist, for a number of years. Each spring and summer, Joanne puts together an amazing experience for our biology students. She provides hands on experiences that include water quality monitoring, vegetation mapping and analysis, and habitat restoration. She teaches students how important the everyday choices we make are to protecting our environment. She is so passionate about empowering students that they can't help but be changed by the experience. Joanne also serves as an adviser to many students who do their research projects at McClellan Ranch or on Stevens Creek. She responds to their emailed questions, shows them how to use equipment and generally supports their efforts. Her help is one of the reasons students are able to complete research projects they are proud to present.
Our partnership with Acterra was especially rewarding last spring in part because Joanne agreed to meet with many of my students to work on restoring habitat at Blackberry Farm. Students volunteered to spend a Saturday doing this, and I asked for a little write-up about the experience. I was so impressed by what students had to say about the experience. They were emotional! They were passionate! They said they were working together in a community for a common good. It was much different than what I expected them to say about hours of manual labor in the hot sun. To illustrate this, here is an excerpt from one student essay: "The restoration workday at Blackberry Farm was led by Joanne McFarlin of the Acterra Stewardship Program. The organization of Acterra seeks to find ways to inspire and educate the communities in the Bay Area with the mission of creating healthier local environments. After spending the morning weeding out the hedge parsley with other classmates, I saw how meaningful the whole experience was. Not only did we do a nearly clean sweep of the invasive hedge parsley, I also saw a group of people united under the mission of Acterra: to create local solutions in creating a better environment. This experience showed me that it really is feasible to get a group of people together to tackle on some kind of problem, at least at the local level. That is how a movement really starts, after all, is when more and more people learn about a local cause. I really commend the people of Acterra for taking charge and inspiring the people in the Bay Area to be mindful of the environment and, whenever possible, to take matters into their own hands by volunteering or simply making better choices, such as recycling." Couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you Acterra and especially, thank you Joanne!!

"The idea that we should be able to pass on our life's accumulated wealth to descendants is deeply embedded. It appeals to the fundamental biological urge to protect your offspring and propagate your genes. Though only a small minority of estates are subject to inheritance tax in Britain as it currently stands, opinion polls consistently find that the majority of people oppose it. Instinct seems to override common sense. VAT falls disproportionately on people with low incomes, but it's far less hated.
Understandable sensitivity around issues relating to death make it difficult to discuss, but it's time this conventional wisdom was held up to proper scrutiny. Yes, the desire to pass on property to your descendants may be natural – but why should we be slaves to our biology? Social progress has frequently depended on our ability to transcend individualistic urges and work together for the common good.
In contemporary times, most people agree that tax should facilitate transfer of wealth from those who "have" to those who "need".
…In the UK, official statistics suggest around £77bn is passed on in inheritance each year (tax avoidance means the real amount could be even higher). That's money that no living being has a moral claim to, according to standard justifications of wealth inequality and private property… It could provide the kind of comprehensive welfare state that meant nobody had to worry about their family after they passed away – because there would always be a safety net.
…A 100% estate tax (perhaps with a small allowance for objects of sentimental value)…"

My nephew's Birthday is coming up next week and I, being my usual enthusiastic self have taken up the party planner role. Now both my sister and I are budget conscious and don't believe in spending lavishly for a birthday party. But at the same time, we also want the party to be Grand and a total hit! Snicker all you want, but I am just about to prove to you that this is possible!
The first step in planning a Fab birthday party is selecting a theme. In our case, it was pretty obvious. While my Nephew, lil Dave, loves to play King every now and then, he is very clear on what he wants to be when he grows up. A Car Racer. (Blame it on his father's F1 addiction!) So we were planning a Racer Themed Birthday Party!
The Invite
This is a fairly simple DIY project! We will be making flag shaped invites by printing Black and white checkered pattern on one side and the invitation wordings on the other side, Cutting it out and attaching to a stick.
The Center Table
Again, this was easy. Dave has a big collection of Hotwheels, that being the only gift he ever wanted since he was very young. Plus an acquired collection from his father. The Center table will be a little race car exhibition, which will let him show off his super car collection. We already made an inspiration board.
The Cake
Ok, I just lucked out here! My sister makes AMAZING cupcakes. So we are planning to make cupcakes with Black or white frosting, arrange them to look like a flag and attach checkered mini flags on them. Something like these, but with race flag instead:
The pitstop – Food and snacks counter
Car shaped Sandwiches are a given.
My sister is totally in love with these traffic light biscuits. We definitely intend to make this one together.
Keeping with the traffic light idea, we might scoop out watermelons and cantaloupes, add grape or kiwis to it and make a fruit skewer with a race flag toothpick. That should be fun!
Games and activities
A car race obviously?
Or Fix the wheel! Basically, you have a car without wheels drawn on a big chart paper. And you give the kids 4 cut out wheels with board pins. They need to fix the wheel in the right place, blindfolded. This is so much fun for the people who are watching as well.
Giveaways and favors
I know this is what you were waiting for! How do I give racing car favors in a budget right? Ha! This should show you how:
A couple of Oreos in a black and white checked box or DIY checked paper bag, with Spare Tires written on them! Inspired by CatchmyParty. Isn't that smart?
The Birthday Gift
This was obvious right from the start right? We are obviously gifting him some more hotwheels. But this falls in our budget as well. Because we have a Special Discount coupon for it!
See? Having a super cool birthday bash in a budget is that easy. Just needs a little creativity and some DIY time! What kind of birthday bash are you planning? Maybe we could come up with a plan together? Do let me know how you planned a birthday party in a budget, in the comments. Would be lovely to know! Now, I better get to the DIY projects. I sure have a lot to do. See you tomorrow.
PS: Dave says Hi and invites you to his Birthday party 🙂

During their cruise, guests can use the app to connect to the ship's wi-fi, make dinner or show reservations, and make unlimited onboard calls and messages to other passengers for a one-time small fee. They can also pay a nominal fee to make calls to almost every country in the world.
Before disembarking the ship, guests can use the app to track and review their onboard purchases, and view disembarkation information, such as details about immigration and Easy Walk-off. They can also access information about Norwegian's Cruise Next programme and review their Latitudes Rewards points.
"Whether they're 60 days from their sail date or in the middle of their cruise, the Cruise Norwegian app brings seamless anytime-access to a myriad of onboard offerings, services and activities right into the palms of our guests' hands," said Andy Stuart, Norwegian's president and CEO. "Once onboard, the Cruise Norwegian app will allow guests to continue customising their ideal cruise experience and view or manage their existing account information, allowing them to maximise their time and spend it on the things they enjoy the most."
The new app will be available onboard Norwegian Bliss when she launches in summer 2018 and will be rolled out across the fleet by the end of 2018.

Here she was reminiscing her past,
The time she married that guy from another caste.
Blissfully happy they were after their conjugal pact,
Unaware they were about the repercussions of their act.
The news of their marriage spread,
It gave rise to an insurgence of the religious sects.
Hearing about the uproar the couple was in utmost dread,
They had no idea whatsoever of what's going to follow next.
Thus, the hunt for the couple began,
Fearing the obvious, the couple ran.
It was not for long as they were found,
Minions of the sects pounced on them like a hungry hound.
Treacherously they caught hold of the guy,
Mercilessly he was beaten and left to die.
She was forcefully taken back to her home,
Locked and left to rot alone.
Years passed and here she was reminiscing the past,
The time she married the guy from another caste.
Here she was raising her voice and hence she said,
"Wrongs they committed in the name of religion,
Never amused by their own criticism.
Ignorant of the loop holes in their tradition,
Blind folded they were by the religious chauvinism."

The recently refurbished main church room is put to good use on Sundays at 10.30am and 5pm and for a wide range of church and community activities. We've hosted school tours, dance performances, sleepovers, choir concerts, band practices, drum lessons, charity weekends and movie nights, to name just a few. You're welcome to look round on any Sunday or contact us to arrange a visit.
The main room is not available for external hire but we have welcomed local charitable groups where there is a link with our aims as a church. We ask a responsible leader to visit and be shown how to secure the building and leave it ready for a prompt start on Sunday morning. We have modern and effective audio visual equipment but we would ask you to pay a member of our team to operate that for you, at the hourly living wage rate.
What work has been done?
Replacing fixed pews with chairs we can stack frees up a large area for everything from youth or children's club games to meals or performances. A glazed wide entrance with level flooring is good for buggies and wheelchairs. Better lighting enhances attractive Victorian features inside and out. Modern heating, sound, and projectors ensure no one is excluded and padded chairs seat as many as 320 for our most popular services, such as Carols by Candlelight. You can download a leaflet about our building and history.
We felt it was worth every effort to make the building accessible to the whole community because our aim: "to preach Christ crucified, " is more important than most people realise. For that reason, church members donated £390,000 to this project. The remaining £50,000 came from generous grants from WREN and All Churches Trust. Church members also raised £44,000 to send to Uganda, which allowed the seminary to build a new dormitory enabling more Ugandan ministers and community leaders to receive affordable education.

Some of my regulars here may have noticed that I haven't been around as much lately. Well, that's because I have been busy getting my new dungeon up and running. Actually to call it a mere dungeon is both an insult and an understatement. It's more of a fetish emporium where I treat my lucky clients to my unique take on all things fetish. I specialize in every aspect of fetishism, from ageplay to Goddess worship to humiliation and hardcore sexual torture, but one of my main specialties is the exquisite art of Feminization.
Take my latest human canvas, Mr. Stewart Kent, a nine to five every man living a grey flannel life, tasteless and dull, a man you would ignore if you passed him on the street. A man who has always felt different, a man who has always held within him a secret … a secret desire to be … beautiful.
Oh the look of satisfaction on his face when he felt for the first time his freshly shaven legs encased in form fitting pantyhose! The nervous apprehension when he walked a few feet in a pair in of high heels! The moment his reflection looked back at him and revealed … a she!!
Or just last night when he experienced his first …. You know, I think I might keep that bit to myself. You'll have to call me to hear the rest….

Every year, millions of adults and even children are considered obese by prevailing medical standards. Whether you are borderline obese or are just looking to shed a few pounds, the advice in this selection of weight loss tips and tricks will give you some additional insight into effective weight loss success and strategies.
To help speed up your weight loss, try to be as active as possible. This doesn't just include regular exercise. Insert motion into your daily activities, such as using the stairs instead of the elevator or parking your car further from the store. Walk around while you answer phone calls .
A great way to lose weight is to avoid eating late at night, before going to bed. Most people don't realize that eating late at night is bad for you and that you're more likely to store all of that food as fat. It's best to eat a light dinner, instead.
Always eat breakfast first thing in the morning prior to leaving your home. Don't make the mistake of grabbing a "convenient" breakfast just because you're in a hurry. But, these pastries are loaded with empty calories. A better solution would be to try some oatmeal with some fruits mixed in.
Brush your teeth after every meal and snack. Brushing your teeth will actually become a subconscious sort of cue at that point. It will signal to your body that it is done eating. It will also remove the taste of food from your mouth and keep you from snacking.
Do not try diet fads, like weight-loss pills or extreme diet plans. Many of these methods might be harmful to your overall health in the long run. In addition, the pounds lost tend to be temporary. Most people cannot stick to a rigid diet and will, most likely, gain back more than the weight they lost.
Find a few simple go-to foods that you enjoy but fit in well with your diet to keep on hand at all times. It is very helpful to be able to look in your refrigerator and find something you can snack on or eat that will not break your diet.
Instead of rewarding yourself with a cookie or snack cake for a job well done, think about going out and purchasing some new clothes instead. Buying a new outfit is much better than an unhealthy snack. When's the last time you strutted around with your new box of chocolates to show off for friends?
Setting realistic goals will help you lose weight. If you set goals that are way out of your reach (like losing 10 pounds in one week) it will leave you feeling discouraged and like you can't lose weight, and most likely you will give up. Just take your time and keep a good mind set.
Everyone knows that a healthy weight can improve the quality and length of your life, but few people take advantage of that knowledge in their daily lives. By following the tips and tricks in this article, you will be demonstrating a strength and commitment to creating a healthier, more attractive new you.

IPL betting case: How bookies fixed pitches with excess watering, explains cops
Nayan Ramesh Shah, a former junior cricketer, got Indian Premier League (IPL) match pitches in Kanpur watered excessively to slow them, which was exploited by the illegal betting syndicate he worked for, police questioning has unearthed.ipl 2017 Updated: May 13, 2017 01:58 IST
Nayan Ramesh Shah, one of the three men arrested on Thursday from the Kanpur hotel where IPL teams Gujarat Lions and Delhi Daredevils were staying, is suspected of having got pitches tampered for the betting syndicate he was working for, according to police sources. (DD vs RPS: T20 MATCH BLOG)
Majority of bets being placed through this syndicate was on whether the match would be high or low-scoring. Shah, the sources said, told the police his job was to ensure the pitch prepared for the match was on the slower side. Shah has been an U-17 and U-19 player.(DD vs RPS: T20 MATCH SCORECARD)
Shah would ensure this with the help of ground staff, which has free access to the pitch and ground, he has told police during questioning.

Ramesh Kumar, a member of the ground staff at Kanpur's Green Park ground, has reportedly been working for Shah in the last two years, the sources said. Kumar and Vikas Chauhan, hailing from Kanpur Dehat district, were also arrested on Thursday.
Excess watering
Police found during questioning that Kumar's job was to do excess watering of the pitch before it was handed over to the match referee. "Watering had to be done in a way that pitch remains damp till the first innings is over; the pitch is watered a minimum four times before the pitch gets under the control of the match referee," said the sources.

Kumar was reportedly paid Rs 5000 each time he watered the pitch as per Shah's instructions. If the curator asked him to water it for five minutes, Kumar reportedly would water it for more than 10 minutes.
Each time this process was done, Shah would send pictures of the pitch being watered to Bunty, a racket kingpin based in Ajmer.

Ramesh Kumar reportedly clicked and sent pictures of the pitch after it was watered for the last time to Shah.
Having been a cricketer, Shah then analysed the pitch and sent a message that the team batting first would not be able to score 200 or more runs. "This syndicate works differently, it accepts bets largely on high or low scoring game patterns," said the source.
SP (crime) Jitendra Srivastava said there was evidence of pitch tampering and others involved in the racket should be known once the police apprehended and questioned Bunty.
Expanding probe
"This is the basic task of Shah; we are working on other aspects as well," said the officer who led the team that arrested Shah and the other two. "Our technical experts are working on the cell phones of Shah and others, we expect more leads soon."
Shah apparently reached Kanpur on April 25 and stayed at Hotel Landmark, where three floors were booked for Gujarat Lions and Delhi Daredevils teams. He stayed in Kanpur for three days during which he met Ramesh and gave him instructions about watering the pitch, the sources said.
"Slow pitches are good for the business; people have this perception that IPL matches are all about scoring runs," Shah is said to have told the interrogators. Shah was drafted into the syndicate three years ago for his knowledge of cricket and pitches. He has played a good amount of cricket at U-17 and U-19 level and that helped him develop a rapport with the ground staff.

Ok that's it then. I preferred Dunnet Head but I suppose JOG has to be done. Total mileage 1066.
Now having a warming coffee (its quite chilly here) before the lengthy drive to Edinburgh with Rob. Pleased to have finished with no aches or pains, just nicely tired.
Thanks for messages of support, they've been much appreciated.
The photo here isn't very good against the sky but at least proves we were here!
I may add final thoughts when the dust settles but look forward to seeing some of you at least soon. Cheers for now and thanks for reading each gripping instalment.

Made it! The end of the end to end

The record for cycling from Land's End to John o' Groats is 41 hours, 4 minutes and 22 seconds. Hell a runner even did it in only 9 days. What took you so long!ReplyDelete
I'll let you off though as I guess waiting for Chris slowed you up.
A guy even did it in a wheelchair in just 7 days, can you believe it. But you did beat a 4 year old book who cycled it over 31 days.
Very envious Indeed. Great story for the grand kids one day!
I wonder what the next challenge might be?
Distance cycled in a year record set in 1939 any guesses?
Boy not book....typo!ReplyDelete
Ans. 75,000 miles.

The quesadillas were tasty but not mind blowing, but the portabellini mushrooms were a delight. They weren't really "stuffed," though; a pate of sausage, spinach a cheese was piled on top of the cooked mushrooms. Though a bit unconventional, they were delicious, driven by the intensely flavorful sausage. As good as they were, they didn't hold a candle to the raviolis, which were just stunning. Gingery shrimp in a Chinese wonton, served in an incredible coconut broth brimming with Asian spice flavors. Yum!
While we ate, Mary graciously let us try several local wines from their wine bar free of charge. Most were from small wineries without public tasting rooms that either conducted tastings only by appointment or not at all. Several of these wines were particularly notable, including an Obscurity Barbara and a 2003 Bechard Herbert Vineyard Syrah. The latter had deep raisiny notes that brought up visions of hot summer days, as well as a surprising smoothness. We asked Mary how we could get some and she promptly called the winemaker and arranged to have them drop off a couple of bottles at the restaurant. Thanks Mary.
Mary also arranged for us to take a tour of Cedarville Vineyard, run by the extremely friendly and engaging Jonathan Lachs & Susan Marks. Like some of the smaller wineries in the area, Cedarville only conducts tastings by appointment. Jonathan gave us the tour of their facility, which was simple but surprisingly nice. The cement cave was particularly interesting. As for their wines - overall I found them too acidic and tannic for drinking now, but with good potential for aging. Their Syrah and Cabernet seemed the most promising, so we bought several bottles to cellar. I'm hoping that their wines are as ageworthy as they seem.
After all this wine tasting it was getting late and Jhan and I were pretty hungry, and so we headed for Restuarant Taste in the small town of Plymouth. Taste seems to be the new place in town, and already has a reputation as one of the best restaurants in the area. In that sense, it didn't disappoint. The salmon and roasted Rabbit were excellent, as was the cheese plate we had as an appetizer with a bottle of Cedarville Syrah. The syrah went extremely well with the cheese plate, particularly the "Roaring 40's" blue cheese, but unfortunately didn't pair well with the rabbit. Presentation and service were excellent, and we topped off the dinner with a Boston Creme Pie (excellent) and a Warm Ginger Cake with vanilla bean gelato (very good). Overall, I'd say that Taste lives up to its reputation and is well worth visiting again.
Saturday morning found us dozing in. We pretty much skipped breakfast, knowing that we would be lunching at the Gold Vine Grill.
Our first winery stop turned out to be Domaine de la Terre Rouge, which we had visited before. Terre Rouge (like Holly's Hill) specializes in Rhone-style wines, and is easily one of the better wineries in the area. We were the first customers of the day and tasted through several syrahs. My easy favorite - and Wine of the Trip - was the 2000 Sierra Foothills Syrah, notable for its strong earthy flavors and mellow complexity. I ended up buying a case of half-bottles on sale at a ridiculous $6.75 each. Jhan disagreed, preferring the 2001 Sentinal Oaks Syrah.
Our next stop - given that several people had recommended it - was Oakstone Winery. Though the location was beautiful and the people were exceedingly friendly, none of their wines were stunning. Their Reserve Cabernet was notable for having particularly huge tannins, but lacked structure for aging.
After the disappointment at Oakstone, we headed to lunch. We ate at the Gold Vine Grill, this time having a sausage sandwich and a tuna salad sandwich. Jhan's tuna salad was apparently excellent, but I was a bit disappointed in the sausage sandwich. I had been hoping for the same spicy, savory sausage they used in the mushrooms, but no such luck. Though good, the sausage in the sandwich was on the bland side.
After lunch (and a quick visit back to Cantiga), we headed to Granite Springs, whose petite sirah had been given raves by someone, sticking Granite Springs in my head as a place to go. The place was absolutely mobbed by people, which I've begun to suspect is an indicator of uninspiring wines. True to form, none of their wines were even mildly interesting, including their rather insipid petite sirah.
We finished off the day with a quick visit to Dillian Wines. With only two bottles of their Zinfandel left on the shelf, and less than a case of their sauvignon blanc, the place was pretty empty of both wine and people. Tom Dillian and his son were quite friendly, however, and we tasted the aforementioned wines as well as a pretty little 2005 Orange Muscat. The muscat would make a great gift wine; sweet, smooth and nicely packaged.
Although we had reservations for the highly rated Zachery Jacques near Diamond Springs, our hotel was in Sutter Creek, and we decided to go to Caffe Via d' Oro in downtown Sutter Creek instead. Given that it was Saturday night on Labor Day weekend, they weren't packed, and we had no problem getting in on such short notice. We started off with a Bibb salad, which was excellent despite the fact that you had to take it apart to eat it. Jhan had sea bass in phyllo dough, which was interesting, but not particularly tasty. I had a filet in an ancho chili rub, with sauteed mushrooms that was superior. The spiciness brought out plenty of savory flavors in the meat, and the texture of the mushrooms was the perfect compliment. The potatoes were a bit bland, but that was only a mild disappointment.
My main complaint about Via d' Oro is their wine list. Heavy on local zinfandels (which I mostly detest), they didn't have a wide selection of other interesting wines. We ended up buying mostly unmemmorable wines by the glass. The only one that was memorable was a 2004 Campus Oaks from Lodi that tasted like fermented raisins. Definitely different, but not good.
On Sunday our plan was to hit at least two wineries before heading home to beat the Labor Day rush, but we ended up visiting only one winery - Windwalker Vineyard. We'd been to Windwalker before, and fallen in love with their 2002 Lady in Red Bordeaux blend - easily the best wine in the Sierra foothill wine country. Over all, I find that Windwalker has the most consistently well made wines of any of the wineries that we've visited. This time around, their 2003 Barbera was a winner, with deep smoky flavors and just a hint of raisin. Where many barberas can be stern and austere, this wine was opulent and rich. The Sierra Sunset was a surprise as well. For an everyday wine under $10, this had a balance of fruit and richness lacking in most other vineyards cheaper cuvees. Many of these are just alcohol and grape juice, but the Sierra Sunset is a real wine.
The big disappointment - and the reason I wanted to stop there in the first place - was the 2003 Lady in Red. Where the 2002 could, in all seriousness, complete with any top-of-the-line Napa Cabernet, the 2003 was a much weaker effort. The nose was totally different and not strong, to the point of having a whiff of moldy pool cover. The taste was better, but not as full or complex as the 2002. Hopefully with some bottle age, the '03 will improve, but it looks like a disappointing year for the Lady in Red.
Wines of the TripDomaine de la Terre Rouge 2000 Sierra Foothills Syrah
Bechard 2003 Herbert Vineyard Syrah
Cantiga 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon
Holly's Hill 2004 Wylie-Fenaughty Syrah
OK, so three of the top four are syrahs. I'm not sure if that's me, or an indicator of what this area does well.

Should Angels' Mike Trout Win Most Valuable Player and Rookie of the Year?
Mike Trout is having a phenomenal year for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The sort of year that John Grisham's Calico Joe would have had if he hadn't been beaned. The sort of year that makes people talk about the AL's Most Valuable Player also being its Rookie of the Year. The sort of year that takes the heat off other young phenoms like Bryce Harper. The sort of year that conjures up visions of another Willie Mays, or another Mickey Mantle. That's a pretty good year.
As of the end of play on August 18th, Mike Trout had appeared in 98 games. He lead the league in stolen bases with 39, lead the league in batting with .343 average, and lead the league in runs with 95. He's hit 23 home runs, has 69 RBI, and an OPS of 1.010.
Did I mention that his 21st birthday was less than two weeks ago? Since he did not have enough official at bats to qualify as a rookie last year, 2012 is his official rookie season. So how does he stack up against Mays and Mantle? Let's look at the easy comparisons first, the ones that are grounded in baseball's beloved stats.
Willie's rookie year was 1951. He turned 20 in May of that year, so he was a bit younger in 1951 than Trout is. In 464 official at bats over 121 games he hit .274 with 20 home runs, 7 stolen bases, and 59 runs. That's a solid rookie year by any measure, but with all due deference to perhaps the greatest baseball player of all time, it pales in comparison to what Trout has already put together.
Mickey's rookie year was also 1951. He turned 20 a month after the regular season had ended, so he was more than a year younger than Trout is. In 341 official at bats over 96 games he hit .267 with 13 home runs, 8 stolen bases, and 61 runs. Again, another solid rookie year, and the beginning of a career that would include a Triple Crown, three MVP awards, and election to the Hall of Fame. But, not nearly the kind of year that Mike Trout's putting together.
Trout has the offensive tools that Mays and Mantle had, and he has them in abundance. On defense, he's a solid outfielder, but as yet he hasn't, in my view, shown the brilliance in centerfield that characterized Mays' entire career, and Mantle's career before injuries hobbled him. But defense takes longer to master, and we may yet see him play centerfield the way Willie and Mickey played it in their prime.
Statistically, then, there is every reason to believe that Mike Trout's career, barring injury, is one that will eventually take him to Cooperstown. But the stats are only part of the story. What may be really interesting here is that it seems that he is starting his career without the additional hurdles that Mays and Mantle had to face.
When Willie Mays came to the New York Giants, baseball had only been integrated since 1947. That process was in its infancy. There were still legions of idiot fans who jeered and harassed African American ball players. African Americans were still discriminated against by restaurant and hotel owners in America. And it wasn't just private institutions that were segregated. When Willie broke in to the bigs, many of the nation's schools were legally segregated. It would be three more years before the Supreme Court declared segregated schools in violation of the Constitution in its monumentally important Brown v. Board of Education decision. Public transportation was still segregated, too, as were lunch counters, waiting rooms, public restrooms, and public parks. The list is long and depressing, and it helps to remember that this was the world a 20-year old Willie Mays found himself in as he began his major league career.
Mantle's world seems to have been affected more by his own demons and insecurities than by any institutional barriers. Many have documented his struggles when he first started playing professional baseball, his homesickness, and his early failures. Mantle's fear of dying young like the other men in his family haunted him. The damage that alcohol did to his body, and as he eventually admitted the damage it did to his career, ultimately killed him.
I don't know much about Mike Trout. I'm learning about him along with the rest of baseball's faithful. But, it is certainly the case that the world he grew up in and functions in as a young man is vastly different from 1951, and that he does not face the same cultural challenges, to put it too politely, that Willie Mays faced. And from where I sit, it seems to be the case that he's well-grounded, and that he doesn't carry the sort of emotional baggage that wore down Mickey Mantle. If that's the case, then it's all good news. Mike Trout might be able to just play baseball, and we might be able to just sit back and watch him, for the better part of the next 20 years.
Jonathan Dyer has been a baseball fanatic since playing Little League in the 1960s, and he's been following the Oakland A's since moving to the Bay Area in the late 1970s when he watched Rickey Henderson play for Billy Martin. Dyer, the author of three novels, now brings his long-term perspective to writing about baseball, connecting the modern game to its historic context.

The latest twist in the Julian Assange saga.
No thread about this? It's getting increasingly bizarre. He was at risk of being deported so sought political asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy. In doing so he risks losing his pals and a lot of right-on types the cash they put up for his bail money. Seems a little ungrateful, really. Are Ecuador likely to take him in? And if so on what grounds? If they don't surely he'll be arrested and almost certainly deported.
0 replies
been told ecuador's president is an amazing hardass who loves winding up the USA
gonna wiki him, yall should do similar
he seems pretty sound as presidents go
most hardass presidents of developing nations end up having a scrap with the media, and if they're improving their nation's living standards and lowering poverty then frankly the media can do one
am also intrigued by this 'Bolivar Alternative for the Americas' - Cuba, Nicaragua, Bolivia and Ecuador waving two fingers at the USA and talking of old times :')
ya he totally is
a rare breed
who else is atm? can't think of many. how's chavez's human rights record been since '09?
I'm sure it said in one of the articles I read
that Ecuador has an extradition treaty with the USA, in which case it's surely a waste of time (unless that's wrong of course).
- japes_ this'd this
Coming out 'soon'
as long as 'the UK calls off the siege and honours international obligations.
Assume that means he doesn't want to be arrested, deported and tried for sexual assault.
If you take him at face value,
he's avoiding the trial in Sweden because it would open the window for him to be extradited to the US.

Last year I made Easter baskets for the children but couldn't find the pattern again, but thanks to Di Dunk who supplied the pattern, I made them up again. The designer paper is SU (retired).
the cute little boxes in the front are made with SU Petal Card punch. They held a few of those yummy little Cadbury speckled eggs.
I also made a couple of Easter cards, with the idea for them coming from LeeAnn Greff:
It was such a cute idea I just had a make one - even though I didn't have a smaller circle for the feet!Mary

My hardware and software setup
Have I gained the right to publish a lazy and semi-informative "My Setup" post? Is there a right to gain it in the first place? Anyway, here's my take on that blog post classic. Yes, it could be (mis)interpreted as a bit show-off-y, and yes, the harmony between these tools is totally subjective - but from time to time a fellow reader is pointed towards a tool she/he not yet has heard of. And so I pretend publishing the following list is totally legit:
Browser: Opera
Some time ago I wrote a few lines about my switch. But I'm still happy with the choice, although I really would really fancy having DuckDuckGo as default search engine in the Omnibar (and yes, I know of their Opera extention). Especially when I learned that even Apple let's you set up DDG as the default search on Desktop and Mobile Safari. But maybe that is not an oversight but part of the deal between Google/Chromium and Opera. Or maybe I'm overstating DuckDuckGo and am a bit paranoid.
Editor/IDE of choice: PHPStorm 8
Like with many other softwares, techniques and bits of knowledge I owe this decision to Jeffrey Way of Laracasts. Being a long time SublimeText user, PHPStorm and the unbelievably reactive and open minded attitude of its creators, JetBrains, just impressed me. And the pricing model and price tag is fair, if you have in mind that editor/IDE is the most important tool for a web developer.
Mail app: Airmail
This one is quite new and thanks to Tino. Airmail has the smartest interpretation of seperating/dealing with different accounts I've encountered so far. Up until a few month ago I used the, hm, VIM of Mail apps, Mailmate. Although it maybe the mightiest of players around, it has some very odd design characteristics, just as not letting the user decide which signature belongs to wich mail account. Instead, it states: We got an artificial intelligence built in, just use signatures manually on some contacts in your accounts, Mailmate will learn it. Nah.
Git GUI: Tower 2
Nothing more to say here. Starting with Tower 1, I cheated with SourceTree for a few weeks, but went back to Tower 2 as soon as it was released.
GTD/To Do: OmniFocus 2
Not just only swinging between Git GUIs but To Do apps as well (but who doesn't). Things was my first love, but as I mentioned before, giving users the feeling that your product is actually continued and developed is kind of a big deal. And CulturedCode's take on this is - special.
Invoicing: GrandTotal 3
I guess that was the very first app I purchased when I started freelancing four and a half years ago. Not as almigthy as its Windows competitors, it does all what I want from it, and it does it well and reliably. And it's even pretty!
Timetracking: Timings 2
Also from GrandTotal's creator, Stefan Fürst. I like the calendar-y visual take on time tracking (and that scary-awesome-informative ability of even tracking your open applications). I used mite since their beta phase, but learned that I'm far more disciplined when actually having an app (and a strong visually narrative). So I just recently switched, with a metaphorical tear in my eye.
Workflow: Alfred 2
I don't have to write complete sentences to describe Alfred, I guess: Workflows! Far better than spotlight! Amazingly fast! Free! Full of features! Apple copied! Extendible to infinity!
Podcasts: Instacast
Why? Synchronisation between computers and devices. Works like a charm. Maybe I should post my podcast subscriptions themselves in a seperate post.
FTP: Transmit
Having outgrown Coda, I still remain faithful to the world's best named software company, Panic Inc. Another reason is the fact that Transmit is just the gold standard for FTP'ing on Mac.
Twitter: Tweetbot
Common sense: Official twitter apps aren't the best pieces of Twitter software around (although I fear that some point in time they are the only ones, thanks to capital-driven decisions). An update for let's say OS X Yosemite would be nice, though.
Knowledge Management: Evernote, but...
I was an ealy adopter of Evernote years ago but want to step by step embrace indie solutions around. For a time I had a Mediawiki installation running (since I'm using Evernote totally text-based anyway) but after all, wiki software and me, we won't be good friends ever in this life. Now I'm trying to build another web based software solution myself, based on ProcessWire, if I ever find the time...
Terminal: iTerm2 and zshell
I just like the looks and features of this combination : -)
Testing on devices and within Parallel VMs: meetfinch.com
While still in beta, Finch became a crucial part of (manual) website testing for me. More on their website.
Markdown: Byword
After having tested loads and loads of editors I somehow got stuck in this editor. I'm writing most of my (few) blogposts and project internal readmes in there. It's just a calming and simple interface. I know, that's not unique to Byword. Can't explain.
Syncing between computers: Spideroak, having tried Owncloud and Dropbox
I relied on Dropbox for too long, even a time post-Snowden. As much as I wanted Owncloud the perfect tool, it turned out to be simply not reliable for professional use. So unfortunately I had to stop this experiment. Right now, I'm using Spideroak, and though it ain't pretty, it just works solidly.
old iMac 2010 27" i3 2.0 GHz
Standing in my office, and developing signs of age (defective pixels), but until now a (mostly) faithful companion. Once it bites the dust, will be replaced by the MBP mentioned below and an absurdly big screen.
rMBP late 2013 i7 2.3 GHz 16GB RAM
Bought for use of working in-house at client's space, but there will be a time I'll use its sheer power and marvelous screen as the main machine. Until then, perfect for working at home and on-the-go.

LUCAS EMBERTON ( read )
Lonoke female arrested on drug charges near Choctaw Park.
From the desk of Sheriff Scott Bradley
On August 17th, 2014, Deputy Tim Adams of the Van Buren County Sheriff's Office made contact with 31 year old Jennifer Brightwell of Lonoke a passenger in a vehicle. Adams stopped the vehicle for driving left of center and fictitious tags. Adams reported he made contact with a male subject driving the vehicle who gave him a fictitious name that had warrants. Adams said when he tried to arrest man, the man fled on foot. During a impound of the vehicle, before towing the vehicle, Adams reported finding a small cylinder on the passenger floor board containing illegal drugs. The 20th Judicial District Drug Task Force assisted in the investigation. Brightwell is being charged with felony possession of drugs (methamphetamine) with purpose to deliver and felony possession of drugs ( prescription narcotics ) with purpose to deliver. Brightwell is currently being incarcerated at the Van Buren County Sheriff's Office awaiting a first appearance.

The clock is fast moving toward Midnight and I still have no words down on the novel today. *sigh* I hate it when days like this happen. I mean, I've been extremely active today and I can even say there were accomplishments. It is just…well…they weren't my accomplishments really.
We only have the one laptop now, and two tablets – one each. Today The Husband needed to apply for jobs so I volunteered to help. I am a quick typist and he was relieved I agreed to do the typing. So, he sat next to me or played with the dogs while I asked him questions from applications and where he wanted to apply to next. By the time this task was finished it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. We hadn't eaten anything either, so supper was high on the list of things to do before writing.
Now it is past eleven in the evening and I'm just now settling in, and down, for some writing. I could skip tonight, of course, but skipping feels like I'm shirking, and, worse! Like I'm not interested in writing this novel. So, regardless of how long I get to write tonight, I want to make sure and get words, good words down.
So, how was everyone else's day? Productive? Not so much? I hope you at least were able to enjoy your day at least in part.

London, May 22: Tata group chairman Ratan Tata has said in an interview to The Times, London, he is surprised why fellow tycoon Mukesh Ambani wanted to live in the opulence of a billion dollar home in south Mumbai."It makes me wonder why someone would do that", Tata said in the interview.
"The person who lives in there should be concerned about what he sees around him and (asking) can he make a difference", Tata said when asked about Antilla,the new 27-storey Ambani home on Altamount Road.
"If he is not,then it is sad because India needs people to allocate some of their enormous wealth to finding ways of mitigating the hardship that people have", he said.
Tata expressed concern over the widening richpoor gap:"We are doing so little about the disparity. We are allowing it to be there and wishing it away", he said.
Tata, whose group bought steel maker Corus and car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in 2006 and 2008 to become the biggest manufacturing employer in Britain, also questioned British managers work ethic, saying "they do not go the extra mile unlike their Indian counterparts."
"Its a work ethic issue. In my experience, in both Corus and JLR,nobody is willing to go the extra mile, nobody," Tata said.
"I feel if you have come from Bombay to have a meeting and the meeting goes till 6pm,I would expect that you won't,at 5 o'clock, say, Sorry,I have my train to catch. I have to go home. "
Tata said: "things were different in India. If you are in a crisis (in India), it means working to midnight, you would do it. The worker in JLR seems to be willing to do that; the management is not."
He said " the entire engineering group would be empty on Friday evenings previously at JLR, but that had changed. The new management team has put an end to that. They call meetings at 5 o'clock. "
Tata also spoke about shifting Nano's 85 per cent installed plant from West Bengal to Gujarat after Mamata Banerjee led a campaign against land acquisition in Singur in the context of comparing efficiencies.

Right of equality is a fundamental right. If a person has money, he had got every right, subject to restriction of acquiring property in Jammu & Kashmir, to purchase property.
At times a person may not need property for his immediate use.In such circumstances, he may sublet his property to a person of his choice.Certain times, restrictions are being placed by the Apartment/Flat Owners' Societies that Flats cannot be given on Lease & License to Bachelors, Air-Hostess, working women etc. The intention behind the same may be a noble one that there is every possibility of nuisance being created leading to disturbance caused to the resident members of the Society. However, one has to appreciate the fact that, if a person resides in the Flat or some third party resides, that would be the choice of the individual member. The Society, in general, cannot object to the use of the Flat by a member or by a person claiming right through the member. The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India while delivering a Judgement in the case of Sanwarmal Kejriwal Vs Vishwa Co-Operative Housing Society Ltd., & others (Citation: 1990 Page 1 C.T.J. 364) has observed this aspect.
Let us examine the situation where the Society restrain the occupant from entering the premises or create hurdles with regards to use and occupation of the premises by the Licensee, paying guest, etc., At this juncture, first and foremost, a legal notice should be issued to the Society calling upon them to allow the Licensee, Paying Guest, Bachelor, working woman, air-hostess etc., to utilize the Flat as per their choice. If there is no positive response for such legal notice, then the Member may approach to the appropriate Court of Law and obtain injunction. The member may also approach jurisdictional Metropolitan Magistrate's Court against the Managing Committee Members of the Society for their mischief, criminal breach of trust, wrongful constraining. If such a case is filed, there is every possibility that some amount of pressure may come on the Managing Committee Members of the Society; and then they may allow the Member to utilize the premises by the Licensee/Occupant.
Another line of reasoning given by the Office bearers of Co-Operative Housing Societies, for restraining the working woman, bachelor, air hostesses, etc., from utilizing the Flat as Licensees as paying guest is that, if such persons are allowed to use and occupy the flat, they may not have respect for the laws of the land. They may create nuisance, which will be detrimental to the interest of the other members of the Society. Herein, one can observe and opine that, the Co-operative Housing Societies cannot act on the principle of apprehension and in case when such nuisance is caused to the Society, the Society has always an option and choice to initiate appropriate action against such member and/or the Licensee, air hostesses, working woman, bachelor, etc.
It is common knowledge that in number of Societies, the laws of the land are violated more rather than comply with in letter and spirit. How many Societies can vouch for the fact that the members of the Society have not encroached upon the open space, there is no misuse of Niche, drying space, there is no water tank in the flat, there is no box grill. Practically, every one is aware that the Laws in Society are violated on a number of occasions. We have ridiculous laws, which stipulates that the person handling the cash of the Society is supposed to give security to the Society as if such person is likely to run away with the negligible amount of cash in his possessions as compared to the cost of the Flat, which legally belongs to the Society and the member gets limited right to use and occupy the Flat.
The member, for no reason or cause, is simply harassing by not allowing his Licensee to utilize the flat. If he deems fit, he may also take up the above said point while issuing legal notice by highlighting the fact that in a number of Societies, lakhs of rupees are demanded by the Society at the time of transfer of Flat, in excess of the provisions of Bye-laws of the Society under the guise of 'Voluntary contribution to the common amenities fund'.

Photo of Moscow in the summer of 2016-here and ended another summer in Moscow. What it was? Hot, rainy, complex, and dynamic. Moscow lives by its rhythm, which largely differs from other cities in Russia. But that's if we talk about business, business and permanent repairs, which "we are heartened by the Moscow authorities. Although, I must say that nagging about the repair is simply a reaction to current inconvience and after repair Street become really better. Pictures taken this summer in Moscow showed that Moscow is not changing and people are the same-rush, relaxing, laughing. just live your life-the same as the rest of the country.
Moskovskaya street photography captures the overall mood. The problems become greater, but when we have them. Still, with all the nuances of positive in Moscow more than negativity and this can be seen by others and the mood of the Muscovites.
What I want to say about the summer of 2016. I express my purely subjective opinion is that a lot of tourists. And creates the impression that there were more. Evening in Moscow, especially in the Centre, tourists are very much. And organized groups and singles.
Still, that it would be desirable to note-a lot of people engaged in their health. Although it was always noticeable. Another was even more skaters and cyclists.
Today I want to lay out a selection of summer photos of Moscow and Muscovites and you will be able to assess how the town lived this summer:

According to their call for submissions:
We are seeking literary personal narrative with well crafted writing employing literary techniques such as explicit or implied storyline, conflict, symbolism, theme, interiority, rich imagery and description. Entries will be judged on originality and the use of various structural forms, language and cohesive storytelling... As with any memoir, there must be some uncovering of whatever wisdom was gained.I wrote the first draft of this piece as a writing exercise in David Vann's MFA workshop last year. After getting constructive feedback from Susan Bono at Tiny Lights and rejection from their flash prose contest, I cut and compressed into the current one-pager. It is amazing how much can be told in such a short space. I believe I achieved what was asked for: a storyline of lost and found, symbolism through descriptive imagery, interiority of character--all through a unique structural form of stanzas.
When it's published I'll post a link...
...in the meantime, it's back to the pen and ink.

Sir Andrew Dillon, the Chief Executive of NICE responded
It's wrong to recommend the use of treatments where the additional benefit is uncertain. This is misleading for patients and wastes scarce NHS resources. Not all patients with a particular condition benefit from a drug and some drugs only work well for some patients or at a particular stage in a disease. That's why we target the use of some new drugs, or make a partial recommendation.... patients who can really benefit can get access to treatment and the NHS can spread its resources to provide other treatments and servicesDespite what the tabloids would have you believe, NICE is not there to restrict access to effective remedies - it actually carries out a task surprisingly rare in healthcare suppliers across the globe by comparing the efficacy of a new treatment against that of those currently used. We have been conditioned to think that the drug companies are out there, beavering away to produce new and exciting treatments for new diseases. In fact, as Ben Goldacre has written in his excellent expose of the standard of scientific knowledge in the media and beyond, Bad Science, and confirmed by a comment on the Unity posting from 'a&e charge nurse,' the golden age of drug development is largely done and to get past the time limits on patented medication, the drug companies rely on slight improvements to create new medicines and maintain profits. To ensure that these drugs get licensed, they encourage and assist patients with lobbying to get funding for a new drug from the health authority.
Unity explains that Dronedarone (Multaq) was touted around as the new wonder drug for treating atrial fibrillation as it was initially claimed that it could prevent 10,000 strokes a year if given to the 300,000 sufferers, although when the story resurfaced some 16 months later, it was considered to be suitable for some 40,000. The media stories slamming NICE for their delays didn't report that
even before it was licensed, the trial results for Dronedarone had failed to live up to early expectations. In fact what the manufacturers own data showed was that, for the vast majority of patients with atrial fibrillation, Dronedarone was only half as effective as existing drug treatments for this condition, all of which are considerably cheaper because their patents expired several years ago, allowing them to be produced as generics.Indeed, for patients who suffer from a couple of particular heart conditions, the drug is absolutely contra-indicated because it has been show to actually double the mortality rate. It is a worthwhile treatment for a small percentage of patients who have one or more conditions that are additional risk factors and has been licenced for that
Sometimes, the manufacturers find out that a drug licensed for a particular treatment is actually effective in treating something else, so they pull a clever trick - tweaking the formula, renaming it and getting it relicensed. Richard Blogger explains the Avastin/Lucentis switcheroo thus
In short Avastin is a bowel cancer drug but was found to halt "wet" age-related macular degeneration. So the manufacturer altered the drug to remove the cancer active part and called it Lucentis. The two drugs have the same effect on "wet" age-related macular degeneration, but Avastin was only put forward for licensing for treating bowel cancer in the UK and Lucentis was put forward for licensing for treating "wet" age-related macular degeneration. The company decided to cost Lucentis according to how much the patient would pay to retain their sight. That is, £1000 per treatment, and (a local eye surgeon told me) about ten treatments are needed. Although Avastin is expensive as a bowel cancer drug (that's another story) the volumes needed are so small that the cost for treating "wet" age-related macular degeneration is £1 per treatment. NICE can only approve licensed drugs, so for "wet" age-related macular degeneration it can only approve Lucentis. They came to a deal with the manufacturers that the NHS would pay for the first 14 treatments and after that the manufacturer would provide the drug for free. But as I mentioned above, most people need just 10 treatments. The eye surgeon I spoke to said that in his clinic he offers patients the choice of having the licensed Lucentis or the unlicensed Avastin, pointing out that they are the same, but the former is a thousand times more expensive than the latter. Half of patients choose Avastin. The Tories use the case of Lucentis (but not the details I have provided) as an example of the way that they want NICE to work.What has been proposed is breaking the idea that science should be at the heart of decisions over drug spending. We can expect more pressure from the drug companies, more heart-rending stories and more occasions when political direction overrules the scientists and their pesky search for evidence, the best scientific model yet devised and one that the Tories can't wait to throw out for the sake of cheap votes. What is even worse is that this will give people false hope - NICE won't approve drugs unless they can be shown to have benefits additional to existing treatments and a good PR campaign combined with questionable data from a manufacturer is no substitute for a drug that does what it is supposed to.
Rather than trying to accuse Labour of spreading fear by talking about the real risks that a Tory government poses for healthcare in this country, Lansley and his colleagues should first remove the planks from their own eyes about what their policy really means for healthcare.

As for the Celine Dion references... the fateful night I made this blog I had been listening to Celine Dion's, All the Way... A Decade of Song. It was only fitting I name my blog after one of her songs. But it most songs didn't fit. I couldn't name it "My Heart Will Go On" or "The Power of Love" or "Beauty and the Beast." (That last one would have been too close to my future sister-in-law's former blog name, anyway.) Thus, "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" was the winner! I just really like Celine, always have, always will. Deal with it.
And all the Doug references are because... we're married! Duh. We met around here, were engaged around here, and got married around here.
So now you know!

It looks like you have a bad CD, please test following these instructions:
The media check went fine. It still would not work with the installation
My current hardware is:
AMD Athlon XP 1800+
Nvidia GeForce 2MX
Monitor: PS 200
hda: Master - has windows on it
hdb: Slave - want to intall red hat, but the above problem occurs.
I have the exact same problem, with the same error message during install. I
can get hardware information, if necessary.
I have done mediachecks, and the CDs (always Disc 2) have checked out OK.
The problem has happened on 5 out of 18 computers in a lab on campus, and is
Please let me know if I should email the debugging information (I saved it to disk).
In a nutshell, this is what happens:
- Have tried with multiple types of install, multiple packages to install,
multiple computers, multiple hard drives, multiple CDs
- 1st CD always installs fine, put in 2nd CD,when it's close to being done the
error message comes up (same as the error message above).
We use removable hard drives, and I've installed RedHat with no problem in the past.
Elsa Lankford
Have you run the mediacheck on the machines which have a problem? Having looked
at many many hundreds of these bugs I know the CD media and drives are flakey.
This error is always a problem with the install media. If you try an
NFS/FTP/HTTP install on the same machine it should work fine.
I have run mediacheck on all of the disk 2's that give the problem, they pass.
There is one hard drive that is driving me insane. This is what I've done:
1) - Formatted the hard drive
- traceback error when 3 seconds left or so of install (still on Disc 2)
2) gdisk'd the drive (we have Ghost available) to wipe it clean
- tried to install redhat & traceback again
3) Tried different hard drive & different set of CD's
4) Tried different computer
etc. I must have tried 6-7 times at least.
I will try the FTP install. Quite honestly I've always installed from media,
but it shouldn't be too difficult.
I just wish that the error message was a little more clear. Does the last part
of the message: SystemError: (16, 'Device or resource busy') clarify what the
problem is?
In 8.0 we've addressed the problems with this particular traceback so they are

Sweet Potato Fries
I've been eating sweet potato fries a lot lately. It's partly because I keep on buying sweet potatoes when I grocery shop thinking we've run out but it's mainly because they're delicious, and good for you too! I do change the recipe each time I make them though.
2-3 Large sweet potatoes, sliced thinly
Half an onion, chopped
1 Red bell pepper, chopped
2 Egg whites
1 Tbs of canola oil
1 Tbs of Cajun spice
Kosher salt, to taste
Preheat oven to 450F.
Place cut potatoes, onion, and bell pepper in a bowl. In a separate bowl whisk egg white and then add your oil. Pour egg mixture over potatoes and toss then adding the Cajun spice. Place in oven to cook for about 40 minutes, or until the potatoes edges are slightly browned. If they need more seasoning give add some kosher salt.

Best sports bar in Cork - Soho
If you want to catch a game there is not a better place than the Soho, especially if the game is showing on the Big Screen in the back of the bar with the 'fan's terrace' seating. There's always a good atmosphere and also good food. The bar offers a wide range of beers on tap and in bottles. Soho offers good bar food at reasonable prices, and I have found the waiting staff to be excellent.
There is something magic about having a lazy Saturday of rugby too. You were a secret love affair with the upstairs nook in Soho. In there you will find an amazing couch that a group of 8 can easily chill out on. There is a screen just for you up there too. So if you want to avoid lots of chatty rugby fans maybe that could be your big escape. Also the menu in there is amazing, perfect for sharing. During last years fantasy rugby league this was our favourite spot allowing us to check our teams and chat without bugging people.
Now, the bar is downstairs but we all took turns making runs down to the bar to ensure You weren't missing the game. With the toilets around the corner no one but your group will be bothered by your up and down during the match.
When walking around the beautiful city of cork you notice that there are a few "Flanagans" around who managed to make their dreams come true. So why not come for a walk with us and check out these cocktail bars where bartenders fulfill the greatest need in our society: getting and keeping us drunk with the best cocktails in town.
There aren't many better ways to round out an evening than sitting on its lovely outdoor terrace with a drink in hand, enjoying the fantastic view of the magnificent structure and brilliant lights of cork as the sun sets and people stroll passing your table. The DJ plays cool music and cheeky food and cocktails are served making MINI so unique. Indulge in your favorite cocktail at this buzzing place and enjoy the view.
The dark and cozy bar is decorated with classic and vintage film posters with a long bar counter and leather director chairs. It's a popular and stylish hangout among a hip yuppie crowd and expats too. Most of the friendly staff have been working here since the opening, also contributes to the constant quality. And that's what makes people return again and again.
The cocktails on the menu are a dramatic mix of tradition and innovation. Nothing less than exclusive vintages and limited edition champagnes, spirits and liqueurs are used, while the bartending staff is famed to be among the best in the UK.
