Stumbled on HURD
Stuck in a chicken-n-egg problem on hurd front. I needed to access network through my ethernet port from Hurd. The pfinet translator won't work easily. After googling, and searching through the archives I picked up the notion that the driver for my ethernet card is not present in gnumach. (I know in microkernel implementation drivers are not part of kernel, but I found the driver code under gnumach/linux/drivers…. directory. The Space.c file does not seem to have Broadcom driver code) My ethernet controller card is "Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702X Gigabit Ethernet". I downloaded the linux driver source code from Broadcom's site. In Space.c a *_probe() function is called. Each hardware vendor defined his own _probe() function and using some macros that particular function is called. So I had a plan to integrate Broadcom's probe function with the gnumach source code, recompile the thing and try.
But this effort has stuck in an chicken-n-egg problem as mentioned earlier. For compiling the kernel, I need gcc, make, etc. I installed make some time back, it was simple .deb file. It was hard to find .deb package for hurd-i386 for gcc. Folks on mailing lists advised me to use apt-get to install gcc. It later on occured to me that apt-get internally gets the installation packages from the internet… which in the first place I am trying to access. :(
So I tried to solve this, by means of cross compiling exercises. Yesterday I tried to compile gcc 2.95 on linux for i686-pc-gnu platform, and it is giving its own set of errors.
Alongside I have been reading about the L4 kernel and Hurd efforts of porting to L4. I am getting interested in installing L4Ka::Pistachio microkernel. So I might suspend efforts on Hurd front and might follow a new lead.
Besides in past few days, I have found some good linux stuff, that I didn't know already.
#cat /proc/pci should give you wealth of information about the hardware devices attached to your pci bus, like the IRQ info and rest of PCI info.
Learnt about this linux command strace, with which you can track the system calls and signals associated with a live running process.
It was a news to me that, there is a subdirectory under
/proc for every process, named after its process id. This subdirectory contains useful info about that process. Among other things it holds an fd subdirectory, which will list all the file descriptors opened by that process.
Good stuff for debugging your system….
I am particularly impressed by the work done by Jochen Liedtke, the father of L4. Sad to know that he passed away in 2001. His paper 'On microkernel design' is a classic one. I am planning to follow whatever job he has done on microkernels.

A immature rancher from a lowest stage of India's standing hierarchy – a Dalit encampment – has been beaten to death, apparently for owning and roving a horse.
Police in Gujarat state pronounced 3 upper-caste organisation had been incarcerated for questioning.
The victim's father pronounced his son had been warned not to float a equine as this was an upper-caste privilege.
Owning a equine is seen as a pitch of energy and resources in tools of India.
A comparison military officer pronounced other probable motives had not been ruled out.
Pradeep Rathod, 21, was found passed in a pool of blood circuitously Timbi encampment in Gujarat state late on Thursday. The equine was also found passed nearby, his father said.
In a censure filed to police, his father pronounced his son had desired horses so he had bought him one.
"My son's adore for horses led to his murder," a father pronounced according to AFP news agency, that has seen a statement.
"About a week ago, when we was roving a equine with my son, one of a persons from a top standing Kshatriya [warrior] encampment warned us not to float a equine in a village.
"He pronounced that people of Dalit encampment can't float horses, usually Kshatriyas can float horses. He also threatened to kill us if we did not sell a horse," a censure read.
India has a story of attacks and taste opposite a Dalit community, before famous as "untouchables", reports a BBC's South Asia editor Anbarasan Ethirajan.
Last October, a Dalit male was killed by a organisation of organisation for reportedly attending a normal Hindu dance performance also in Gujarat.
Discrimination on a basement of standing is outlawed in India though stays widespread opposite a country.

By Meg Curtis, PhD
Penn State cannot lose its football program—even temporarily—and remain the same institution. Maybe that is the hope and prayer of zealous reformers, but reform is one goal, and temporary insanity is a different monstrosity altogether.
Let's be honest about the scandal: Football did not bring shame to this university. Obsession did; idolatry did—and fear, fear that what's happened would happen, and it has happened. The glory of JoePa University has bowed in tears.
Has Penn State "suffered enough," to quote President Ford on Nixon, who also sacrificed all the good he could do to paranoia? Has humiliation run its course, much longer than any football field, for both boys and men?
Ford's words ring cruelly upon this occasion when justice is hard to determine. As President Ford justified his pardon of Nixon, he addressed these solemn words to his countrymen and women:
Finally, I feel that Richard Nixon and his loved ones have suffered enough and will continue to suffer, no matter what I do, no matter what we, as a great and good nation, can do together to make his goal of peace come true.
Is it truly surprising that fear mingles with greatness; that good marries evil, too, in human nature? This nation learned that tragic lesson in the seventies with Watergate and Richard Nixon's resignation, if not before.
The fear of university leaders may strike us as odd, given their power and privilege. Nevertheless, JoePa, that English major from Brown, might be the first to remind us:
For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds. (Sonnet 94, ll. 13-14)
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds. (Sonnet 94, ll. 13-14)
The very next sonnet in Shakespeare's famous sequence poses this prophetic warning, too, for reformers too quick to cut at football:
Take heed (dear heart) of this large privilege;
The hardest knife ill-used doth lose his edge. (Sonnet 95, ll. 13-14)
The hardest knife ill-used doth lose his edge. (Sonnet 95, ll. 13-14)
Football never cornered a single boy in any shower. Football never promised more than it could deliver: a bruising chance to learn teamwork and a competitive spirit. The irony of JoePa was that he learned Shakespeare, too. That legacy stands. The most rueful element in the whole tragedy is that it might have been composed by the Bard himself.

NOAA: Ship Emissions Reduced by Up To 90% Using Cleaner Fuel
In today's "duh" study, we have a report from NOAA that says that huge container ships can reduce emissions of certain particulates, like sulfur dioxide, by as much as 90% by using cleaner types of fuel. But are the economics there?
Most massive ships use the lowest grade of fuel available, often called Bunker Fuel C, because it is also the cheapest fuel available, often containing impurities like water and mineral sands. This is just plain old nasty stuff, the leftover residue from gasoline and diesel production that has a high viscosity (i.e. its thick) and a higher preheating temperature. In fact, Bunker Fuel has to be kept at a constant 100 degrees F before it can even be pumped.
What NOAA found is that when ships slow down near the coast, and switch to low-sulfur fuels, sulfur dioxide content dropped 91% from 49 grams of emissions per kilogram of fuel to 4.3 grams Particulate emissions also dropped 90%, and black carbon levels fell 41%. No duh. Major shipping lines have already pledged to reduce their emissions levels with cleaner fuels and more advanced technology. But you're still talking about a ship that is burning anywhere from 50 to 60 metric tons of fuel per day. With the prices of bunker fuel hovering around $650 per metric ton, you're talking about a substantial increase in prices…which gets passed along to the consumer.
What is really at work here is economics. And right now, the world economy relies on the cheap movement of goods across the vast oceans and seas that cover 70% of the planet. We all want cleaner air…as long as it doesn't add to the bottom line of the next iPhone's price.

Riviera Country Club's reputation was damaged almost as badly as its greens during the 1995 PGA Championship.
Eager for another chance to prove itself as a golf course fit for major tournaments, Riviera has one with the July 23-26 U.S. Senior Open.
Call it an audition for the U.S. Open, perhaps one as soon as 2004.
So how are the greens?
That question became more intriguing in December, when Riviera hired a renowned superintendent, Paul Latshaw, to oversee the course for the Senior Open.
"The greens were progressing well," says Bill Knight, the Senior Open's championship director. "But Riviera didn't want to leave any doubt and brought in the best man they could find."

Even in the world of hopeless, puerile nostalgia for all things '80s (in which I'm about to take part), nowhere is this piece of crudely-drawn Hanna Barbera magic ever mentioned. I remember my dad grudgingly taking me to see it when I was about five or six at the now-hollowed-out Route 3 cinemas in Chelmsford, MA. From the size of the audience and the look of distress on my dad's face, I had assumed at the time that it wasn't the most regaled of the bumper crop of animated (hand-drawn, so antiquated!) films of the era. I remember the Jule Styne score (its songs sounded like warmed-over HELLO DOLLY rejects), the truly bizarre Night on Bald Mountain-inspired nightmare sequence (which to this day I wouldn't believe actually happened if not for the Chernobog-esque mountain man at the top of this dazzling poster), the adorable non-talking goat sidekick. and of course, the evil, slimy Sammy Davis Jr. voiced rat (get it?) Heidi encounters when locked in the grubby basement of her wicked aunt's mansion. Regardless of the shitty reviews it received, Heidi's Song was a nearly seminal film for me for some reasons: it was one of the few non-Disney animated films I was taken to (along with TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE some years later, whose Orson Welles voice-over work even outdid Lorne Greene's stellar effort here), and because it was a film that only my father accompanied me to, my mom probably too busy with grocery shopping or a League of Women Voters meeting. Never have I met anyone else who has seen it andnever have I seen a video copy of this, nor a DVD version, so the film simply exists in vague outline in my memory, almost as if it never quite happened at all. In this sense, the film does indeed stand alone.

text: PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTIONAt its heart, Hundred Acres --the third full-length album from Wisconsin singer/songwriter S. Carey--finds him groundedcomfortably in his skin, but still with one foot in the stream. More direct than ever, there is a wellspring of confidence in this new batch of songs that laysbare the intricacies of lifewhile keeping its ideasuncomplicated. Trained in jazz, Carey's astute musicianship has never been in question nor taken for granted, and the execution of Hundred Acres' new ideas is seamless. Heintentionally unburdened himself from a more complicated instrumentation palate for these ten songs, and, in effect,this modification tohis approach brings the content of the work much closer to a living reality. By giving equal status to the indifference of nature and the concerns of a material world --while employing more pop-oriented structures instead of the Steve Reich-or Talk Talk-ianrepetitions of his past work --a new balance is struck thatcreatessomething unique. This in turn provides equal status for the feeling that created each song, and the feeling each song creates. Almost impossibly, there is more air between the bars;Carey and his contributors sway like treetops in the wind, remaining flexible enough that they never threaten to break. Thematically, the album is a poetic treatise on what is truly necessary in life, a surprisingly utilitarian art project that underscores the power of enduring. The simplification of songwriting didn't arrive out of thin air; it came from the similardesire to reach for the utopia of simplicity, for daily life to be unburdened of anxiety and tethered by love. It is a way to say that returning to a more simple life, if even just a little, can heal wounds and mend the cracks. This is leadership by example rather than intervention, and for Carey, it starts at home. In a way, these are his Kodak moments:dedications to his family laid out as songs and reminders that life, like music, has a profoundlyephemeral quality. One way to keep it is to let it flow over you. The challenge is the balance between holding on and letting go,and Hundred Acresis a master class in the trying. As a serious artist entering his prime, Carey presents these songsperhaps more like a Gerhard Richter Florenceexhibition of masterfully over-painted photos than an ad hoc collage on the family fridge. They are at first easy-going with a wide-open front door, embracing simplicity in structure and lyrical straight-forwardness, then suddenly hopelessly beautiful, revealing, and breathtaking.

It's always a project and a big day when the boss comes home and says, "we're working the cows tomorrow". It may have a variety of meanings, are we vaccinating, worming, sorting, etc... In this case we are getting ready for calving season. We had a bit of a mix-up when we brought all the cattle home from the mountains this year, so we need to sort out the heifers from the regular cow herd, because they will be the ones to start calving first. They need extra attention and care because it's their first calf, they may not know what's going on! In order to manage these new mommas we make sure everyone has an ear tag. We mainly use this for identification purposes, even though you are around the cows enough you kind of know who's who out there, it's so much easier when things get busy to have tags. There might be a day when you have ten calves born and you have to keep them "paired up". So we will make small little tags with the mom's tag number so we know that baby goes to that momma. I found a website that really explains the benefits of cattle identification. I'm a little OCD when it comes to neatness and I have to say my husband doesn't have the neatest handwriting, so I just take the job of making the tag numbers, even if I think some of my numbers are ugly. It's harder than you think! There's no screwing up this ink is permanent and a screw up might mean I'm short a tag or off a number, yicks! Every rancher has their own system. Ours are color coded to a year. So the kitchen table gets taken over after dinner and the tags get made for tomorrow's project!

Ornamental Fraktur - Flourish Friday
15 comments:
This is absolutely beautiful!!!!! I saved the Flickr tutorial so I can try it with my PP when I get to the studio. I think I have some Pro White but I usually just use Dr. Martins. Have a great weekend!!!ReplyDelete
Wow, Jane, that is some "playing"! Suitable for framing!ReplyDelete
WOW! That's all I can say ... WOW! :-)ReplyDelete
Incredible, Jane! I can't believe you achieved that with a parallel pen. This sample needs to be added to the "wizardry" book if they ever do a reprint! Beautiful. Now I'm going to have to go find out what in the world "ornamental fraktur" is. Anne has never mentioned that one! :o)ReplyDelete
What a game :)ReplyDelete
Flourishes done with which tool/pen?
Thanks so much for your comments! I appreciate them all!! :)ReplyDelete
Nikheel, the only tool I used was a 1.5mm Pilot Parallel Pen. To achieve the thin line, you turn the pen on its corner edge. I am not sure if these pens are available in India, but they are wonderful pens and come in 5 sizes.
Love your Fraktur alphabet...gorgeous! I have all the parallel pens and don't use them. I'm primarily a dip person. Gotta take them out again.ReplyDelete
Hugs to you...
Very Beautiful work Jane!!! Nice to take some time to play!ReplyDelete
Absolutely breathtaking! Truly ~ it is gorgeous.ReplyDelete
Holy smokes Jane, this is gorgeous!!!ReplyDelete
Jane - i have used other mediums in my PPP pen with great success, the question I have is, do you leave the Pro White in the barrel or clean it out after every use?ReplyDelete
I have a dedicated color of ink for every size of PPP I have, and now I want to keep a separate one for white inks. I hate cleaning them, even though its fairly easy to do. What do you recommend?
Hi Theresa!ReplyDelete
I left the Pro White in the barrel. It's been in there over a month now. I tried to use it this morning, but had to rinse the nib in clear rinse water first. It then flowed without a problem, but it wasn't as opaque as before. The barrel is almost empty, so I intend to just refill- without cleaning it and see what I get. I hope that helps. Thanks for your comment!
Do you need to thin Dr. Martin's bleed-proof ink before using it? We've been trying another brand of 'bleed-proof' white and can't get it to flow out of the pen. We've thinned it to a seemingly ridiculous point as well as trying it straight out of the bottle. Any suggestions?
This is how I prep Dr. Martin's Bleedproof White for use, regardless if it is for a PPP or for a dip pen:ReplyDelete
Remove the lid.
Add a bit of distilled water to the top. (Sometimes I just use tap water....shhh...don't tell anyone!) :)
I stir the Doc Martin's and water using a small, inexpensive, bristle, mixing brush.
I do not mix the water throughout the entire jar of white; I only mix the water into the top 1/2 inch or less.
I mix until the consistency is like cream. This is how I test for readiness: After I have mixed, if I hold the brush over the jar and the white drips off the brush, then it is too thin. If I hold the brush over the jar and give it a slight flick of the wrist and nothing falls from the brush, it's too thick. When I hold the brush over the jar, give a slight flick movement, and a single drop of the white grudgingly falls, then it's at the consistency I like. I use this same approach when using and mixing tube watercolor or gouache.
For a dip pen, I load the pen with a brush; I do not dip the pen directly into the jar. I mix the fluid occasionally, and rinse and dry my nib every once and awhile. I keep a small dish with a sponge saturated with water next to my work area. I touch the pen point to the sponge whenever I have trouble getting the ink to flow. I hope this helps. For a PPP, I load the barrel of the pen directly with a eyedropper, pipette, or Monoject.
I have also recently tried Dr. Martin's Pen White. I can use it straight from the bottle - no mixing with water, although I do stir it before loading the pen. However, it is expensive. A jar of the Bleedproof White lasts me for over a year (and I do a lot of work in white), but I am going through the Pen White pretty quickly. If you don't care about getting thicks and thins in your lettering, this pen is great for white monoline work:
If my PPP has been loaded with Dr. Martin's Bleedproof White or other gouache and has been sitting unused for a time, then I will need to add a few drops of water and shake. I will also dip the pen plates into clean water to rinse. I use the piece of film to clear away anything that may be lodged between the plates.
I hope this helps!
Best wishes,

Christie, Pelosi Share Stage at Drug Rehab Opening
JERSEY CITY, N.J.—The opening of a drug recovery center here drew two unlikely officials to share the same stage: Republican Gov. Chris Christie and Democratic U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
The two politicians have competing interests: Mr. Christie is eyeing a 2016 bid for president and is campaigning for Republicans across the country, while Ms. Pelosi a visible face behind Democrats' efforts to hold their ground during midterm elections this November.
But Mr. Christie and Ms. Pelosi were on friendly terms Monday, chatting and laughing several times during the two-hour program. They even joined hands during the reciting of a closing prayer.

LED Lighting Is Very Cool
… and that's not just us bragging. One of the important benefits of LED lighting is energy efficiency: LEDs create – and consequently waste – very little heat.
According to the ENERGY STAR® program, incandescent bulbs release 90 percent of their energy as heat. Compact fluorescent blubs are only slightly more efficient. (They still release about 80 percent of their energy as heat.) LEDs (light-emitting diodes), on the other hand, produce light much more efficiently – using 75 percent less energy than incandescents. Here's something even more cool: a recent LED life-cycle assessment by OSRAM, a German lighting company, determined that the latest generation of LED lamps achieves a very high score for environmental friendliness throughout the entire cycle of production, use, and disposal.
Cool Facts
Here are just some of the cool characteristics of LEDs1:
• Eco-friendly — lead and mercury-free
• Up to 80% more energy-efficient
• Cool to the touch — no heat or UV rays
• Super thin and compact
• Long-lasting — up to 70,000 hours
• Recyclable

Your email client associates that email address to the address book entry named "Jotform" that is why it displays as such.

In our days computer graphics gets more and more important with every day, in any way of the life. It is a great expectation from the computer graphics to render more realistic way of the world or its required piece. Although to make this, it is necessary the use of well-detailed models, The numbers of polygons or triangels in a model is a great metric for its detail level. The higher the polygon count is, the more difficult to render or do anyithing computationally intensive work (e.g. animation) with the model.
Although animators do not like to wait long minutes or hours before they can finally see the result of their work, and also while playing video games, the high respond time and the lags bothers the users. To prevent these unwanted behavior someone need to use low polygon count models, which is neccessary in applications like these.
The aim of my thesis is to provide a comprehensive picture of the possibilities of retopologosation methods, and to develop a new application to help the creation of low-poly models.

Different Options and Solutions for Buying a Car even with Bad Credit Paying in cash
This seems to be the best and cheapest way for buying a car. Car Loans and Bad Credit Car Loans. Car loans can be easily qualified because they are secured loans with the car guaranteeing the loan.
Leasing programs
Leasing is a rather new system for acquiring a car. When you lease a car you are actually renting the car, but after a considerable amount of time renting the car, the monthly installments you've been paying can be considered loan payments and you'll be able to acquire the car by paying a residual amount of money to get ownership.
When the time comes some leasing companies offer you different options: You can pay the small residual amount and keep the car to yourself, you can pay a higher amount and get a new car or you could continue leasing a new car till you reach the time when you'll be able to get the car by paying a small residual amount.
Bad Credit Auto Financing – Understanding Collateral
There are hundreds of lenders who are willingly ready to finance your car. However, since you have a bad credit history, you will certainly be offered a much higher rate in comparison to others. Apply Online To Find The Best Deals. When it comes to getting bad credit auto financing approved, it is mandatory for you to meet the minimum eligibility criteria.
The very fact that you are applying online and asking for a free quote gives your lender an impression that there are several other lenders as well in your contact list who are ready to offer finance your car.
Putting Your Newly Purchased Car As Collateral
It is important for you to understand that most of the lenders who are offering you bad credit auto financing will ask you to put your newly purchased car as a collateral against the loan amount. If you do so, you will end up losing the ownership of your car to your financing company..

The largest U.S. residential PV financiers are vertically integrated firms that provide in-house financing, installation, asset management and O&M, as do SolarCity and Vivint Solar.
But the market landscape includes a host of non-integrated third-party financing firms, called "partner-model financiers" by GTM, which offer leasing or power-purchase agreements to homeowners while relying on a network of partners for system installation and maintenance. Such financiers include firms like Sunrun, Clean Power Finance, Sunnova, and many more.
Partner-model financiers typically handle asset management and fleet operations in-house (from customer service to fleet supervision to dispatch and oversight of O&M crews). They also tend to outsource all maintenance activities to the installer partner that built the PV system -- the most convenient model for a financier, because the installer is also the provider of the workmanship warranty.
For this reason, there is no need for potentially complex bill-back scenarios, and the risk of finger-pointing is lower.
Figure: Residential PV O&M and Asset Management Landscape
Source: U.S. Distributed PV O&M and Asset Management
But all the partner-model financiers interviewed for GTM Research's new report, U.S. Distributed PV O&M and Asset Management: Services, Markets and Competitors, acknowledged two significant issues with this approach.
- Inevitably, a share of installers will go out of business, so financiers have to rely on third parties or internal staff in order to maintain the systems built by now-defunct partners.
- Even among installers that are still in business, some are not motivated to perform maintenance and warranty repairs because their revenue comes from building new systems. As such, response time and quality of maintenance work vary greatly.
In order to mitigate this challenge, partner-model financiers give installers the ability to either accept or refuse to perform warranty work. Upon refusal (or lack of response) for a given work order, the financier gets the work done by a third party or internal staff, and bills the installer back. But this process is cumbersome and may delay actual response to customer issues.
Several financiers even state that they prefer sending their own maintenance crew rather than dealing with the original installer. Even this scenario is not trouble-free: complications and finger-pointing scenarios may arise in which installers deny workmanship warranty coverage of certain issues after a third party "touches" a system they built.
Given these factors, a pattern emerges in partner model financiers' maintenance sourcing strategies. Initially, they tend to rely on the installer (mostly for cost reasons), then as some installers go out of business and others prove either unreliable or unmotivated to perform maintenance, financiers contract with independent maintenance providers such as SunSystem, Sunup, and Next Phase Solar (recently acquired by Enphase Energy).
As portfolios grow to a level of scale and density that makes insourcing economically viable, they evaluate bringing maintenance in-house. This process happens at the local level, which explains why some financiers have different sourcing approaches in different parts of their territories.
For more information on U.S. residential and commercial PV O&M and asset management, including market size and 5-year forecast by segment and state, competitive landscape, vendor categorization, market trends, budgets/prices, sourcing strategies, and key vendor profiles, please refer to the new report recently published by GTM Research: U.S. Distributed PV O&M and Asset Management: Services, Markets and Competitors.

New Equipment
- On January 13, 2017
Is there a better time to be a Minneapolis Brewery or better yet, an NE Minneapolis Brewery? At 612Brew, we don't think so. There are so many seasoned breweries coming out with new and innovative beers, and there seems to be a new brewery popping up daily in Minneapolis. Minneapolis is a beer drinking city, and with so many options it's never hard to find a beer that you can enjoy. As far as seasoned Minneapolis breweries are concerned, 612Brew is still innovating on a regular basis, and we are extremely excited about the new equipment that we just purchased and installed (see attached picture). We are pumped because it's going to increase the clarity, quality, and shelf life of all your favorite 612Brews. Before installing the DME two vessel brewhouse system, we had a small variation in our final product, but that will no longer be an issue (keep in mind, this is something only true beer enthusiasts would ever notice). Correspondingly, our new GEA separator will add to the clarity of the beer, and increase the shelf life moving forward. Keep your eyelids glued open to the paragraphs that follow.
First, we recently upgraded our brew house and installed a brand new DME two vessel brewhouse system at 612Brew! We think that the upgrade was one of the best purchases we have made thus far at 612Brew. You know when you're graduating high school and going off to college? It's just like that, we graduated from one piece of equipment and moved on to continued growth. The new DME system is extremely efficient and will allow us to increase quality with repeatability in our process. In terms of added benefit, each of our beers will be the same as the last one you had (the best beer you have tasted out of any Minneapolis brewery). The added Hop Back will also bring out the bright hop profile in our hop forward beers, because we got mad love for our hophead purists. You can come into the brewery any time and ask about the new equipment. Robert will be glad to show you the ins and outs, and you will leave with all the information you could possibly want.
If you didn't know already, we recently purchased and installed a GEA separator at the brewery. If the DME system is like graduating high school and going to college, this bad boy would be like triple majoring. This giant piece of machinery allows us to transfer the beer to the bright tank sooner than we could in the past. It also acts as a filtration unit by separating the beer from the hop and yeast, providing a beautifully colored beer—and maybe best of all—it increases the shelf life of our beer. When you come into the best Minneapolis taproom, or try one of our fantastic beers at your local liquor store, you will be getting a beautiful, bright, beer with every pour. We believe this process adds to the experience of beer drinking, which directly relates to our overall goal; delivering our customers the finest beer from any Minneapolis brewery.
All in all, we are loving how 2017 is turning out, and we are only two weeks in! This time the turn of the year isn't just the turning of a calendar page, but the turning of a chapter in the 612Brew story. We are striving to be your favorite NE Minneapolis brewery, but more importantly a brewery that you can permanently associate with quality and dedication. We are constantly trying to push the envelope and deliver you (our fellow beer enthusiasts) the best beer that money can buy; hence our investment in new equipment.
At 612Brew we love updating our customers on new additions to the brewery, new beer releases, and anything and everything related to beer news. We ask that you keep up with us on social media (click the links on the site to be re-directed), read our blog posts, and make your way into the taproom or your local liquor store. We also ask that you try one of our cold brews that we handcrafted with extreme passion, dedication, and excellence in the beer brewing craft. Please, please, please message us on social media, or contact us directly at the brewery to give us some feedback. Anytime we can make some changes to better ourselves and increase likability we are doing something right! Thanks again to all you lovely beer drinkers, without you, there wouldn't be a 612Brew.

I have recently had two lessons in the importance of letting go. One which has haunted me for some past twenty six years, which I have sought to bury so deeply, that it could never be uncovered, and one which by my presence causes their distress. I don't ever want to hurt them and certainly not more than I could ever possibly know.
I have learned that digging a tiny grave and burying a part of you, does not lay the ghost to rest. It simply resides in you deeply. To grieve you must let go. To ask for forgiveness, when for all this time you cannot forgive yourself, and the others around you, who caused your pain. It takes great strength and courage. But we are never meant to carry such a burden, throughout our entire life. I have carried the screaming angry spirit of an invisible child within me for all these years, and it was killing me, trying to get out. And although I tried my best, I wanted to cradle you in my arms, in the end I simply had to let go.
And someone, who has helped me, more than they could ever possibly know. Who I love in a way, I cannot possibly express, but a love which is not selfish or blind. I must let go. For I cherish their happiness more than anything.
I will never ever forget you, not even when I'm one hundred. You will be in my prayers forever.

Carla + Gino – Highlight Film
May 29, 2015
While I was on the official honeymoon, the Lumitone team was still in full force and ready to capture this special day for Carla & Gino. The Bridges Golf Club in San Ramon never fails to provide the perfect backdrop for a wedding and we are especially excited to feature our new a la carte drone service. Although based on availability, we hope to to share this everyone in the near future. Carla & Gino are set for their 2nd wedding with family in the Philippines in June, but here is a little snippet they will bring with them to share!

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — American consumers are the most confident in years, but they sure aren't spending like it.
Consumer spending rose a modest 0.2% in June, one month after outlays rose at the fastest pace in a year and a half. And the big increase in May wasn't quite as big as it looked: the government trimmed the spending gain in May to 0.7% from 0.9%.
The increase in spending in June was slower than Wall Street expected. Economists polled by MarketWatch had forecast a seasonally adjusted 0.4% advance.
The largest drop in spending involved big-ticket items such as new cars and trucks. Americans bought fewer vehicles in June after snapping up new autos in May at the highest pace since the recession ended more than six years ago.
Spending on services such as electricity to cool homes rose in June, however.
Even as spending tapered off, incomes continued to rise steadily. Personal income climbed 0.4% in June for the third straight month. Inflation-adjusted incomes after taxes rose even faster.
Since incomes grew faster than spending, the amount of money individuals save climbed to 4.8% from 4.6%. The savings rate has hovered between 4.5% and 5.5% for the past two and a half years.
Meanwhile, inflation showed little movement. The PCE price index, the favorite inflation gauge of the Federal Reserve, increased 0.2% in June. The PCE index has risen just 0.3% in the past 12 months.
The more closely followed core PCE index that excludes food and energy advanced 0.1% in June, and it's up 1.3% over the past year.
The core rate has been frozen at a 1.3% annual rate through the first six months of 2015, though there are signs it's about to rise, especially now that gasoline prices have leveled off after a big drop during the second half of last year.

Runner up in a Crime writing competition!!
Each year a crime writing festival (Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival) is held in my home town of Harrogate, North Yorkshire and in conjunction with this our local paper holds a short story crime writing competition. I've entered for the last 4 years and up til now have never won.
But this year it's different. There were so many entries of high standards they decided to have 3 runners up as well as the overall winner.
And yes I managed to find myself in this category!!
The competition was judged by this years reader in residence, writer Ann Cleeves. Who as a member of 'the murder squad' promotes crime fiction and has published 5 novels of psychological suspense and is also the author of the Inspector Ramsey series.
I have won tickets to the opening night and the awards ceremony, which will include crime writers such as Frederick Forsyth and Mark Billingham amongst many others!
Ann penned the first paragraph of the competition story and then the rest is up to the entrants. The story has to be completed in 300words or less!! (Very difficult)
This is my entry…
The stranger looked up from his pint of Old Peculier.
"I knew her," he said. "That lass who died in the Crown Hotel."
He'd been in here for half an hour and this was the first thing he'd said.
"I went to school with her…she was my first love, my only love." I stopped wiping the bar down and listened as he continued.
"I would've done anything for her." he wasn't talking to me, just to anyone who'd listen.
He looked sad and tired, I felt sorry for him. He rubbed his forehead, then washed down some pills with his pint.
"I hadn't seen her in a few months, I was working hard for this." he reached into his pocket and produced a small box, he opened it and carefully placed a ring next to his drink.
"We were going to be so happy." his eyes glazed over and I looked away, I'd read the story in the paper. It was tragic. She'd gone out for some air, when she tripped on the hem of her wedding dress and broke her neck falling down stairs. He looked more tired than ever and I became concerned when he swallowed the last of his pills.
I said "I don't think you need anymore of them, friend." his head had become heavy and he looked up at me with his sad, tired eyes and said.
"It doesn't matter anymore, nothing does. I ruined everything and I can't go back."
"Don't blame yourself, friend. It was a tragic accident, there was nothing you…"
He collapsed onto the floor, I ran round the bar and tried to keep him awake. He moved his head slightly and whispered.
"You don't understand." he said as his head slowly fell to the side and his last words were…
"It was my fault, I pushed her. You see friend…she wasn't marrying me!"
Its not the best stuff thats ever been written, it's hard to write a story with less than 300words and alot of detail had to be cut out. But I did win runner up and I'm very pleased with that!

CAS DataLoggers Designs and Delivers Custom Systems
If you need a data logging system that meets your I/O requirements, such as a distributed system to monitor multiple points spread across a factory floor or several buildings, call CAS DataLoggers! We can design and create a custom data logging system for your application by integrating Modbus-based devices from different manufacturers.
Customize Our Systems to Your Needs
The Modbus protocol allows communication between devices using a number of different physical interconnections. This allows the data logger system to be distributed over longer distances.
Our custom Modbus systems consist of three parts:
- One or more loggers to manage the data collections, storage, and alarming functions
- Analog and digital I/O modules to receive the sensor inputs and provide the necessary analog or digital outputs
- A communications bus to interconnect the loggers and I/O modules
- An Optional HMI to display data and control the system
Modbus provides a way to seamlessly tie all of these devices together as part of a system customized to fit your exact needs.
AirGate Modbus Gateway
The Novus AirGate-GPRS is a gateway designed for remote access to a Modbus network while sending alarm and status notifications via SMS messaging. The gateway is able to route Modbus packets from local and remote masters to local network segments. The Cloud Gateway also offers an intuitive web interface that allows users to view recent data, connection status, and more.
When configured with a data plan SIM card, access to the Novus Cloud Gateway server is available through the GSM/GPRS network. Additionally, it embeds two onboard analog or digital inputs for cost-effective telemetry applications. The two local RS 485 interfaces provide a connection to remote Modbus devices through the cloud gateway.
If you need to view live data, alarms, and charts without a PC, we can provide an HMI with a touch screen and a custom page(s) to allow easy visualization of measurement values and to allow various control functions.
Customer Example
Recently one of our customers who owns a large manufacturing facility requested a multi-point oven and freezer monitoring system. After talking with the customer, our Inside Engineering department incorporated three different data logging products into custom systems.
Each of these devices utilizes a dataTaker Intelligent Data Logger as its 'brain,' while a Novus Airgate GPRS Modbus Gateway provides remote communications. To add additional inputs, we used Brainchild Distributed I/O Modules which are Modbus-based solutions for distributed I/O applications.
Each system features 2-8 Thermocouple inputs. Currently, four of these devices are installed, (providing 24 thermocouple inputs) more than enough for the customer's requirements. In turn, each data logger system is located outside an oven or freezer, trailing a thermocouple probe located inside the oven's interior. In this way, each of the customer's ovens and freezers can be monitored 'in clusters.'
For more information on our Custom Modbus Data Loggers, or to find the ideal solution for your application-specific needs, contact a CAS Data Logger Applications Specialist at (800) 956-4437 or request more information.

Looking back at my meal plans for the past two weeks, things have been a little "southwestern" in the dinner department. Something about spicy, cheesy, "yumminess" has been extra appealing to me lately. I've tamed those cravings with this salad. It is perfect because I can make it ahead and store it in the refrigerator so dinner is done when I come after being out-and-about all day.
It's super versatile, and can be eaten:
1 )Just like it is
2) As a salsa, because let's face it, that's what it looks like. Add a few tomatoes and voilà! Chips ready.
3) It can be thrown on a bed of greens and dressed up with canned salsa, cheese, and onions for a leafy salad dinner.
I see this salad making a regular appearance in our kitchen this summer because it makes dinner (and lunch) that easy.
Black Bean, Corn, and Cilantro-Lime Salad
- 2 cups of black beans cooked rinsed and drained
- 2 cups frozen corn, thawed
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lime juiced
- ½ tsp cumin
- Cilantro, washed and chopped
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 avocado, diced into 1 inch cubes
Combine all ingredients except avocado in a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Add avocado right before serving.
Note: This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. (Just make sure to leave out the avocado until serving time!)
Love, Grey & Brianna

History of Sturgeon Baptist Church
Sturgeon Baptist Church was organized on November 29, 1885, with 21 charter
members. This organization came about as a result of missionary activity supported
by the Little Bonne Femme Association. The Rev. J.M. McGuire made the
following reports to the association on September 1, 1884.
"The town of Sturgeon has a population of some 1,000 souls. Among
them are some 30 to 40 who hold Baptist beliefs. These are without Church connections. The town is situated in the center of trade to
a territory including several weak and struggling churches. To organize and build here would be to give strength to all."
Rev. McGuire preached in the community from 1884 to 1885. He secured $1,350 in
cash and subscriptions to purchase a lot under the supervision of M.H. Harris and
P.T. Gentry (the first trustees). In November 1885, 21 Baptists affixed their names
to the Articles of Faith and the Church Covenant, as we now know it.
On December 17, 1885, the church called its first pastor, the Rev. T.W. Barrett.
The first church building owned by the Sturgeon Baptist was on the location of the former home of Mrs. Cordia Leaver. During a revival in March 1891, fifty-three persons
were baptized into the church. Twenty-three were received by letter, making a total of 76 additions for the one meeting. The Sturgeon Baptist Church was growing!
On April 22, 1899, during the pastorate of the Rev. Dillard, the church voted to build a house of brick on a new site (Patton and McDowell). It was dedicated on
October 7, 1900. The church on that day raised $1,479 to pay off all the existing debt.
After 97 years, the new sanctuary was built and dedicated on October 12, 1997.
Because of deterioration of the old brick sanctuary, the expense of remodeling, and limited size, the church voted to make room for a new addition. The project of
removing the old structure and building the new commenced in November 2002 and was completed in the spring of 2004. The new addition includes a nursery,
restrooms upstairs, a foyer, stairway, classroom, and janitor closet. A 25 foot steeple was placed atop the current sanctuary and a new marquee was erected using bricks
from the old sanctuary as a foundation.

Saskatoon recorded 579 drunk driving incidents in Saskatoon last year, making the Bridge City second only to Regina among Saskatchewan cities in the number of impaired driving events.
According to Statistics Canada data, municipal and rural police officers responded to 579 impaired driving incidents in the Saskatoon area last year compared to 645 in the Regina area.
For Saskatoon, that's 100 more drunk driving incidents than were reported in 2014. Regina's numbers were virtually unchanged; the city was again ahead of Saskatoon, logging 646 drunk driving incidents in 2014.
Despite its smaller population, Regina has had more impaired driving incidents than Saskatoon in four of the last five years.
In Regina, 3,246 drunk driving incidents were recorded between 2011 and 2015, versus 2,864 in Saskatoon. Only in 2012 did law enforcement officers in Saskatoon respond to more impaired driving incidents than their Regina counterparts: 608 impaired driving incidents were recorded in Saskatoon that year, compared to 600 in Regina.
Neither Saskatoon city police nor Saskatchewan Government Insurance could offer insight into why Regina's drunk driving numbers have been higher.
Regina police Sgt. Colin Glas said nailing drunk drivers is one of the service's "primary focuses."
"We do a high volume of traffic stops within the city and that may attribute to the higher than normal amounts of interaction with impaired drivers because, simply, we're pulling people over for the simple traffic violations," he said.
Despite efforts to find and press criminal charges against drunk drivers whenever possible, Glas said he is at a loss for how to solve the prevalent drunk driving problem that exists in Regina and across the province.
"Our impaired driver charges have consistently been high within the city," he said.
"I think the majority of the public does receive the messaging, but you're still going to get that percentage of motorists out there that do believe that they're kind of immune or they're not going to get pulled over by police and believe that the chance of getting home and getting their vehicle home far outweighs the possibility of being pulled over and charged criminally."

Pleasant, clean, and comfortable... but the room was a little small for the amount of money paid.
Great service, great hotel, great location
This was my first time to Venice and it was just as lovely and as magical as I had expected! The Hotel Noemi was on a beautiful small street, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The room was small, but if you spend your time in Venice in your hotel room you are not doing it right!
Excellent Hotel! Very romantic looking place. Typical old Venetian style. The older gentleman at the desk when we arrived was super nice and helpful on what to see and where to go. He gave us an excellent dinner recommendation too!

It is tempting, under this headline, to write of last night's Golden Globe Awards. But, I did not watch it, so I can't. Rather, I want to talk about an article that appeared over the holidays that I somehow missed. (HT: The College Fix) Sarah Kaplan at WaPo writes:
But this Stanford University geologist has an alter ego. Like a real-life Captain Planet (minus the blue skin, plus a deep knowledge of data science), he beats back the forces of environmental destruction and holds the super-powerful to account.
Traer and two colleagues have calculated the carbon footprint for nine heroes from the comic book canon — and realized that Earth might be better off if they stopped trying to save it.
This was meant to be a cute and funny holiday puff piece, but seriously missed the mark. If this was fun, they would have thought of the ancient and previously unknown Greek god Tetrahedron who has been forever buried deep inside the rock of the Acropolis in Athens, his tomb sealed forever and a day by the Parthenon. As long as he is there every superhero anywhere is able to do what they do with zero carbon impact. But eventually, in a rage fit, Red Hulk destroys the Acropolis revealing Tetrahedron's tomb. Now the world of superheros is divided into those with large carbon footprints and those without. A civil war erupts between the two, the low impact heroes trying to shut down the high impact heroes who are arguing that saving the world from the invading Chitari forces lead by Loki is more important than carbon footprints. After several really, really important superheroes die, they come to their sense, combine their forces, rebury Tetrahedron and resurrect the dead heroes and all goes back to normal. That's how you have fun with superheroes!
But no, these killjoy geeks want to "save the world" by telling us our heroes are not really heroes, and the world spins miserably deeper into post-modern depression. Superheroes used to be the embodiment of the hope that defined this nation. Now we have nimrod science types robbing us of hope by telling us that our heroes are schmucks just like the rest of us. No hope, no fun, just dreck.
I think that is the thing that bothers me most about the so-called "post-Christian" age we find ourselves in. It is not just the absence of joy and hope that people live in when they are without faith – it is that they seek actively to steal my hope and my joy. Rather than seek to find joy and hope, they think such things are somehow a fantasy and that those of us that enjoy them have to be brought to reality. I find myself rotating constantly between pity and anger with such things. I so want them to discover the hope and joy that I have, but it is so irritating to have them try to steal it at every opportunity.
I used to think that the joy and hope that comes naturally and brightly to any serious Christian was one of our better tools for tempting others to our faith. But nowadays people seemed so determined to not just live in, but share their misery that I wonder if that is still the case?
This I do know, to let them get away with taking my joy and my hope is to, in a fashion, give up on my faith. So, go ahead, tell me your bad news. I still have Good News and I hold to it tightly and dearly.

Binding Options: Coptic Stitch
There are many ways to bind your book/comic/zine/manifesto, from perfect binding to tying it all together with rope to stuffing the loose pages in an envelope. I think, when planning a project, it's good to explore as many weird possibilities as you can before you just grab the stapler. I've been seeing this technique lately called the coptic stitch and I like it! It's a relatively simple way to achieve a cool handmade look. This PDF explains it well. And here's another site that tells you how to do it.

Travels of a Small Brown Suitcase part III
The woman is no longer in posession of the aforementioned Small Brown Suitcase. A Large Blue Suitcase, containing Small Brown Suitcase, vanished under most mysterious circumstances in Atlanta, Georgia. The woman suspects that Small Brown Suitcase is fully responsible for infecting Large Blue Suitcase with a travel bug. The woman is hoping that the new owner of the Small Brown Suitcase can fully appreciate and enable the mischievous and adventurous nature of this bag.

Has anyone seen these? They're absolutely fantastic. They are miniature core rule books. They take all the stuff that's under the open gaming lisence from the D&D core rule books and then reprint them in this paperback book size. There' sno pictures and I'm not sure about prestige classes. But I think I might pick up the DMG and PHB today because they're just too cool. OH and they have some of the updated Erratta in them as well. CHeck it out.
Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen it's true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"...
...and I'll look down, and whisper "no."
...and I'll look down, and whisper "no."

Programmatic multichannel approach to marketing should be adopted
Digitally-savvy millennials are proving to be very receptive to receiving direct mail from retailers, particularly when it is part of a multichannelled communication delivered by the brand.
This surprising finding comes from Andrew Adkins, managing director of GI Insight, who says: "Millennials are responding favourably to direct mail as they are relatively unfamiliar with the channel. It's novel to them."
It is most effective when used as part of a programmatic driven multi-channel strategy, which is uniquely offered through GI Insights' Campaign product, according to Adkins, who says the company has both the personalised direct mail capability as well and the technology for undertaking complex analytics on retailers' online stores.
This involves monitoring customers' behaviour online and when they lapse from browsing on a retailers' site or they abandon their basket then CAMPAIGN automatically triggers a re-targeting message through direct mail, email, SMS or through a social media channel.
"Say a customer has abandoned a pair of jeans in the shopping cart, we can take the image of the item and create a highly personalised piece of mail that includes the product and price, and could also include a discount offer, which can then be delivered to the customer's letterbox within 48 hours" explains Adkins.
He says it is a unique solution is proving attractive to retailers because it is delivering strong response rates unlike the majority of digital communications, which is a channel that has been adopted by many retailers while they have all but abandoned traditional direct mail.
JD Williams has been using the programmatic CAMPAIGN solution and enjoying some success: "They were seeing only modest response rates to email-only cart abandonment mail-outs but when they overlaid it with direct mail the response rates increased significantly to 14%."
In the same way that retail thinking is coalescing towards multi-channel as being recognised as the best model to operate Adkins says the same should also be seen with marketing.
"Through CAMPAIGN we can achieve a truly joined-up view for retailers. We can now see the direct link between browsing online and the purchases customers subsequently make in-store (using loyalty programmes as the customer identifier). With this we can understand who does not need to be re-targeted by direct mail. Lots of retailers do not have this joined-up approach, it's very powerful," he says.
There is also the capability to drive the re-targeted mail-outs in real-time by continually selecting groups of individuals based on specific characteristics, which could be geo-demographics or previous buying behaviour. This flexibility also allows for A/B testing and real time attribution reporting.
