One of the most noticeable physical phenomena in a commercial vehicle is how quickly the windshield and side windows clear on a cold morning. A mist or ice layer is an obvious safety hazard and every country has regulations specifying the maximum time allowed. It's no wonder that defrosting and demisting are assessed by the J.D. Power and Associates' initial quality survey. The speed of the defrosting and demisting depends on many factors including the detailed design of the HVAC ducts and registers, air temperature, velocity, and turbulence. Optimizing the design of the HVAC system can be a difficult task.
The interactions of the flow with tiny geometric details of the duct and register geometry can make a big difference in the direction, velocity, and turbulence level of the flow. This affects the spread of the flow over the windshield and side window, which in turn controls the mist film evaporation and melt rates. This complex physics behavior needs to be simulated accurately in order to correctly predict defrost and demist of commercial vehicles. Defrost and demist are by definition transient, but traditional flow simulation tools are not inherently transient and often have difficulty providing accurate results with complex geometry. The turbulent flow over the windshield and side-glass is almost impossible to visualize in a physical test stand, yet these complex structures must be understood in order to optimally design the system.
The SIMULIA PowerFLOW suite is uniquely suited to address defrost and demist issues. SIMULIA PowerFLOW's unique, inherently transient Lattice Boltzmann-based physics allows it to perform simulations that accurately predict real-world transient conditions on the most complex geometry. SIMULIA PowerTHERM coupled with PowerFLOW®, provides users a complete, extensively validated thermal management simulation. This enables the engineer to identify problem areas and provide recommendations to improve the design and eliminate problems. Rapid turnaround times for model setup with SIMULIA PowerDELTA, simulation, visualization with SIMULIA PowerINSIGHT and SIMULIA PowerVIZ, and design modification with SIMULIA PowerCLAY, together allow the engineer to quickly make design changes to the baseline and evaluate the improvements in defrost and demist performance.
The benefits of SIMULIA solutions are:
- Evaluate the distribution of airflow and temperature on the windshield and side-glass
- Optimize the design and positioning of the ducts and registers for optimal distribution of the airflow on the windshield
- Predict the defrost rate
- Maximize the demist rate
- Provide confidence that regulatory tests can be passed first time

In his cameo in "Trainspotting"* Irvine Welsh is wearing an Exploited t-shirt, but despite this seeming advocacy the band are noticeably missing from the film's soundtrack, which is comprised of "cutting edge" Britpop tracks by the likes of Blur and Sleeper, a smattering of techno and some middle-brow classics by Iggy and Eno. The lumpen antagonism of The Exploited is too alienating and alienated, too politicized, to soundtrack the onscreen hi-jinks and bright-eyed enthusiasm for heroin addiction. Nonetheless, Welsh feels the need to wear it, a pennant of his deathless allegiance to/knowledge of a punk underground nowhere else glimpsed in the film.
A part of the Exploited's micro-mystique is that they were one of the bands, along with Conflict, Discharge and the Subhumans who took punk in a different direction, away from its co-option by the mainstream, into a subaltern world of anarchist commitment. They weren't fashionable, they weren't post-punk in any of its currently understood senses, there were very few major labels sniffing round them, and besides, a part of their commitment demanded that they would tell them to fuck off. The Exploited signify a kind of anti-plastic-punk Real.
Yet in an essay Welsh published at the time, reprinted as part of the ten year anniversary DVD of Trainspotting, in which among other things he defends the decision to shoot Trainspotting in a non-realist fashion (about which more presently) he can name someone like Liam Gallagher as a working class hero.
Liam is a working class hero, not because he has directly done anything for/with the working class but precisely because he's got away from them, he represents the working class not through any specific set of political positions, class politics having been, after all, relegated to the dustbin of history, but through his "attitude", his mad-for-it hedonism, his straight talking, his punch ups, his mocking sarcasm, all nicely combined with his reverence for an unthreatening resurgent strand of contemporary Heritage culture, namely The Beatles.
Heroism, you would think, entailed some potential danger to or sacrifice on the part of the putative hero, some risk-taking: where is the heroism in getting rich and buying a mansion on the basis of a few mild epaterings of the bourgeoisie plus Trad-rock? Indeed, generally, shock was a sure career path in all forms of culture throughout the Nineties: in the newly tolerant Third way, it was a virtual demand of the system. Neo-Liberalism can't prove its Neo or its Liberalism without it. Capitalism without conservatism is effectively that having your cake and eating it Welsh identifies in the essay, and for which the Novel's most effective advocate is Sick Boy, in his rejection of the attachments and allegiances of old Labour and the Victorian stridency of Thatcherism.
"The socialists go on about your comrades, your class, your union and society. Fuck all that shite. The Tories go on about your employer, your country, your family. Fuck that even mair. It's me, me, fucking me.."*
Working class heroism is Liam Gallagher's heroism, as opposed to the evident non-heroism of defeated, uncool relics of the past like Scargill. With Trainspotting Welsh in no way changes the world he writes about but somehow, heroically reporting on it, representing it, raising it from invisibility into consciousness, better still into "coolness", he has fulfilled a duty. In a post-Historical scenario in which the conservative notion of recognition rather than any dangerously disruptive notions of equality are in the ascendant then coolness is perhaps the greatest, if not only, gift to be bestowed upon the subaltern classes.
Welsh might read at the Edinburgh festival his character's despise, he might appear in cameos in hip movies made of his work, he might amass a small fortune and own homes here, there and everywhere, sensibly choosing Life in its any-colour-so-long-as-it's-Neo-Liberal variety but he will wear his Exploited t-shirt at all times as an authenticator of his attitude, of who he is inside. Having his cake and eating it, moneyed, comfortable but still underground and cool, still real.
They can't buy your soul, man, and I've got a T-shirt that proves it.
* Ironically it's exactly Welsh's non-pretty boy panicked grimness of face and figure that punctures Trainspotting's diegesis. Who's this ugly bloke and what the fuck is he doing in this promo video for smack use? He appears to have wandered in from an entirely other dimension. Aha! Must be the writer!
**In the film, Sick Boy, played by the handsome Johnny Lee Miller wears a really rather nice suit and has a funky, Beckham-style haircut, somewhat unlike that of the average Edinburgh junkie circa 1986, but very post Reservoir Dogs and Three Lions friendly. He's a more minor character than Renton who is less attractive, more uncertain, who admits finally to being a bad person but who finally gets out. Renton has, at least, the politesse to confess to his imperfections. Sick Boy is too nakedly, gloatingly avaricious and cynical to be the perfect proxy, there must be some dissembling show of humility as you rip off your friends. I am bad person, but you know, to be a winner, sometimes you have to be…..

Maybe Antoine Winfield doesn't want to leave the Minnesota Vikings after all.
After visiting the Seattle Seahawks early in the week, the veteran cornerback is deciding between the Seahawks and Vikings, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday on "NFL Total Access."
Rapoport describes the situation as "very fluid," with Winfield expected to make his decision soon.
An earlier report suggested Winfield was "closing in" on a contract with the Seahawks, which read like a not-so-veiled message prompting the Vikings to raise their offer.
If Winfield wants one last shot at a Super Bowl ring, foremost, the Seahawks are the easy choice. If it's about money, familiarity and loyalty, though, returning to the Vikings has to weigh heavily on his mind.
The Seahawks already boast the NFL's premier secondary in base personnel. Landing Winfield would ensure that no secondary is better in nickel packages.

Suppose we have a bounded, strictly convex domain $D\subset \mathbb{R}^2$ with smooth boundary with strictly positive curvature. Suppose further that the projection of $D$ onto the horizontal coordinate axis is given by the interval $[0,2]$. Now, for any $x\in [0,2]$ we can consider the vertical diameter $d_D(x)$ which is the length of the intersection of $D$ with a vertical ray through $x$.
For instance for $D$ the unit disc with midpoint $(1,0)^\top$ we have $d_D(x)= 2\sqrt{2x-x^2}$ for $x\in [0,2]$. Let us make the definition $d_0(x):=2\sqrt{2x-x^2}$.
For a convex set $D$ as above consider the quotient $$\delta_D(x):= \frac{d_D(x)}{d_0(x)}.$$
It can be checked that $\delta_D$ is bounded from above and below for any convex $D$. My question is whether it can be shown that $ \delta_D $ is actually $C^\infty$ on $[0,2]$, that is with all derivatives bounded as we approach the endpoints?

Where-in I realize I'm an idiot
OK, for several hunter related posts I've gone on about how I think I want to be survival spec. In several of those posts I've mentioned (offhand) how I like my pets.
If a MAJOR part of your joy in playing a class is a certain element of the class, then spec for that element. In other words – I am not abandoning this cat (I already had to do so with one of the two). And I am highly unlikely to abandon the other, either. Since I am so devoted to my pets, I'm obviously — OBVIOUSLY — beastmaster.
Understand that I really like several of the things over there in SV – up in the high end at that. And I suspect I'd do at least as well as I do now with BM. For what it's worth the same goes for MarksMan spec as well – oh, those look nice.
But for both of them, the pet isn't as important. Not UNimportant, just not AS important.
For those who nudged and queried and suggested, thanks. It really did help.

Ram Diesel truck hands down beats Ford and Chevy
By Deadeye on Friday, March 29, 2019I want to start out by listing the different diesel trucks I have owned in the past: 1997 Ford F250 with 7.3 diesel, 2001 Chevrolet 2500 Duramax, 2004 Ford F350 6.0 aka Sick-O, 2012 Ram 2500 Cummins, 2017 Ram 3500 Cummins. Both Ram trucks that I have owned have been the most reliable and have performed perfectly towing. I currently tow a 40' Fifth wheel camper that is 13,500 pounds dry . On another note. Ram backs their product more than Ford. I have never had an issue with Ram like I have with Ford motor company. Prime example: Ford knew of the problems with the 6.0 diesel and strung owners along right up to the end of the warranty then kicked the owners to the curb. At 80,000 miles, I was stuck with a 5 year old truck that was blowing coolant and oil out the exhaust. On the other hand. I had a problem once with the 2012 Ram diesel particulate filter and Ram took care of the $3500 repair even though it was out of warranty by 10,000 miles.

Before we got all comfy with EPGs and Guides and TiVo there were 'flicking channels. And when you flicked channels you built up a bizzaro narrative from the fragments of TV that clunked in front of your eyes. People wrote endlessly about this as if these machine narratives gave us some insight into 20th century malaise; but In some Cronenberg-ian daydream these channels were not fragmented, they hung around and decayed over each other, melting together in an orgy of RGB (or Y'UV / Y'IQ, pedants).
Rising and falling and obtaining, in a Paralax View style, some sort of mental hold on you through its pixel overload, it nonetheless has many moments of almost woodcut beauty (see the black and white section with the peacock). Although mind-melded to the music throughout, interestingly, the video's own momentum keeps it going well past the song's end; like some whirling dancer still jerking up into the air long after the music's stopped and the lights are on.
Matthew Caron and Rebecca Gaffney's hypnotic destruction of video is what's being described above. They've done this in the service of "The Three Voices of Tawûsê Melek" by Long Distance Poison. This video is included on a DVD that will, in turn, be included with the Gliese Translations LP/DVD which can be pre-ordered here.
In addition to the excellent video above Fin Records have also graced us with the third track of the Gliese Transitions remix LP. Steve Moore of Zombi and Drew McDowell of Coil contribute the first two. This is by Shawn Parke and melds two tracks from Long Distance Poison's last LP.
Beginning with a fog horn for some vast beast, the static orbiting its colossal mass fills your ears. The encroaching beat throwing you a life jacket to prevent you drowning in the humbling heaviness of the opening two minutes.
Arpegiated synths arrive just in time to pull you up for the dark seas you've slipped into and up to some over-world of celestial gliders and loftier concerns. Perfectly, the static and unease continue to play out below as the fragile beauty of the organ drones lulls like the Sirens.
It all comes crashing down though. Of course it does. The over-world flickers away leaving you tumbling down into the maw of the dull thumping beast below.

Skill players dazzle with speed at NFL combine
Kubiak likes what he sees in Te'o
Mathieu focused on earning trust
Big-play cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, whose impressive LSU career went up in a puff of marijuana smoke, has ditched the "Honey Badger" nickname.
Mathieu said Sunday at the combine he hopes he can convince NFL coaches and scouts he's not the same troubled player who was kicked out of school and passed up a chance to transfer to another program to enter the draft as an underclassman.
"I'm Tyrann right now, but if the Honey Badger sticks, it sticks," he said. "Right now, I'm focused on being Tyrann Mathieu."
Mathieu says he hasn't smoked pot since October.
"I've been to rehab (and), I've been to counseling," he said. "I have a sponsor. I'm surrounded by people who do what I want to do, and that's (to) be a professional football player.
"I think the last few months have been going pretty good for me."
Mathieu is projected as a nickel corner who covers slot receivers. It's not his talent the scouts worry about, though.
"First of all, I want them to be able to trust me," he said. "I hold myself accountable for everything I've done and in this past year, it's been tough.
"At the end of the day I want them to know that I'm a football player. I want to be a great teammate.
"I'm not totally asking them to trust me right now. What I have asked is for them to give me an opportunity to play the game.
"I've had a lot of time to reflect on it, especially without football. It's really given me a different outlook on life, and it's just about being the right kind of person."
Mathieu insists he's a different person and a different player and has nothing to hide about his transgressions.
"They pretty much know everything," he said about NFL teams. "There's not too much about off the field, it's more about on the field, and do I still have it. Am I capable of being the big-time player that I was at LSU?
"My best friend right now is honesty. I want to be as open as possible because I'm trying to rebuild people's trust."
UT's Goodwin fastest so far
The receivers and running backs ran the 40-yard dash Sunday. The defensive backs don't run until Tuesday. So far, University of Texas receiver Marquise Goodwin is the fastest player at the combine.
Goodwin ran hand-held 40s in 4.25. One scout had him in 4.19. His electronic time was 4.27. That's the fastest electronically timed 40 at the combine.
Texas A&M receiver Ryan Swope ran a 4.34, tied with West Virginia receiver Tavon Austin for second.
QB Smith aims to impress Chiefs
Geno Smith, the top-rated quarterback in the draft, surprised a lot of scouts by running the 40 in 4.59 on Sunday.
Smith is a pocket passer with mobility, but he's not known as a runner.
Smith hopes to impress Kansas City so much that the Chiefs select him with the top pick April 25.
"The thing I look forward to most is simply the challenge of entering a new league," he said. "Being there is going to be an extreme blessing for me, an extremely good opportunity for me."
Smith was asked what he brings to the NFL.
"I'm dedicated to the game, I have a zeal and a passion for the game," he said. "I'm going to work extremely hard to hone my skills and be the best I can be from day one.
"I have a number of things I need to improve on. I work extremely hard to better myself as a whole, and every single aspect of my game is improving day by day."

Baseline Pinch Gauge - 50 lbs.
The baseline hydraulic pinch gauge uses the improved hydraulic system of the hand dynamometer to assure convenience, product reliability and measurement accuracy and repeatability. The therapist can support the pinch gauge during testing. This yields a more accurate result for all pinch tests (tip, key and palmer). The results are consistent with the published Basline and Jamar studies. The maximum reading remains until the unit is reset. The strength reading can be viewed as pounds or kilograms. Each dynamometer comes in a rugged carrying case.

A House in chaos
Less than two weeks ago, House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy walked upstairs to Majority Leader Eric Cantor's Capitol office to discuss a sensitive issue: Why did Cantor schedule a vote before McCarthy had the chance to survey Republican support?
The meeting — described as "tense" by several people familiar with it — ended with McCarthy abruptly standing up and storming out of the room. Aides downplayed the exchange. But a week later, it turned out that McCarthy's pique was merited: The health care-related bill was suddenly pulled from the floor in what was the most recent stumble for House Republicans.
Story Continued Below
The GOP leadership is dealing with an unprecedented level of frustration in running the House, according to conversations with more than a dozen aides and lawmakers in and around leadership. Leadership is talking past each other. The conference is split by warring factions. And influential outside groups are fighting them.
The chaos has led to a sense of stalemate for House Republicans, who have been in the majority since 2011.
( PHOTOS: Republicans on how to fix the GOP)
"There's so much stuff happening up here that sometimes, you don't pay attention to some of the more intricate details of something until it comes right to you," said Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, a GOP whip from Georgia.
Speaker John Boehner, Cantor and McCarthy are plagued by a conference split into two groups. In one camp are stiff ideologues who didn't extract any lesson from Mitt Romney's loss and are only looking to slash spending and defund President Barack Obama's health care law at every turn. In the other are lawmakers who are aligned with Cantor, who is almost singularly driving an agenda which is zeroed in on family issues.
Boehner seems more focused on passing big pieces of legislation like hiking the debt ceiling and extending government funding, sometimes drawing flak for having to rely on Democrats to move these bills over the finish line.
( Also on POLITICO: Rubio: House to nix immigration bill)
The House simply isn't interested in the agendas being pushed by the president and Democratic Senate. Most Republicans aren't looking for a big legislative push on gun control. GOP leaders are skeptical that they can arrive at a framework to negotiate a budget agreement with Senate Democrats. And tax reform and an immigration overhaul, while broadly supported, are still seen as long shots.
Members of leadership have trouble staying on the same page. Cantor is anxious to move on his agenda, but McCarthy needs to gather support in a House Republican Conference that's filled with lawmakers constantly divided on leadership's priorities.

ACC Preview: Boston College's Burning QuestionPosted by Matt Patton on October 24th, 2014
Last place or not last place?
It's not easy taking over a slumping program in a conference that just added three perennial Top 25 programs. It's even harder when you can't start until April and you lose your two of your three best players before you even take the job. That's where Jim Christian stands a little over six months after replacing Steve Donahue. Perhaps his most important battle, though, was won when Olivier Hanlan decided to stay in Chestnut Hill. Hanlan's presence — along with a graduate transfer and a healthy center — are the only reason this is a burning question at all.
Any look at Boston College this season has to start with Christian, a former coach at Kent State, TCU and then Ohio before coming to Chestnut Hill. He built a solid MAC program at Kent State, improving nearly every year while he was there. During his last year at TCU, he turned one of the worst programs in the country into a middling Mountain West team with a few solid wins (including one over Virginia). But there's not much data from which to judge his time at Ohio, and he's never coached in a major conference.

Graphics Card problem
Okay I have an interesting problem that I cant seem to figure out at all. Whenever I restart my computer, I seem to get a blue screen, the only way to prevent is to remove/insert the VGA switch card, and then it will start fine.
I am currently using my Radeon HD 4650 Graphics card, not the integrated one. However, I cant use the integrated one anyways, it isnt showing up in device manager, and there is no signal when i plug the monitor into it.
One more thing, even if i get my computer to start, it will randomy awake from sleep mode with no one near it. And then the resolution settings will be wrong on the monitor (800x600 instead of its normal 1920x1080. This has been so frustrating. I am going to include my dump files if that helps...
And I have already tried updating the Radeon HD 4650 driver

I had to look up what an MVP Switch card was. Never heard of such a thing. Is there any reason why you need to have it installed? It's my understanding that the switch card exists to change your pci-e lane from 8x to 16x. However, even at 8x, your card isn't saturating the bus, so "forcing" 16x is pointless. Does the board boot up fine without the switch card installed?
If my (limited) understanding is off, plz lemme know.

I wish it was that simple, but I constantly have to rotate between putting it in and taking it out. If it was in already, I have to remove it for it to boot properly. If it was out, then I have to insert it. I really don't understand why this works, but it does...
Its very frustrating

I just tried all of that, a couple of things though...
-When I tried to reinstall directx, im not sure if its suppose to install super fast, bc
it was instant
-During the first restart I the computer failed to load the welcome screen and restarted, but worked fine then and again during another restart
I included the dump file, I guess only time will tell if this finally solved my problem

Does the motherboard have the latest BIOS installed? If not, I would consider flashing to the most recent BIOS.
Also, in the BIOS make sure the onboard video is disabled, doesn't matter if it has drivers loaded or not, it could be causing a problem.
Until you get this resolved, instead of removing/inserting the VGA switch card, try shutting off the power either by using the switch on the back of your power supply (if you have one) or unplugging from wall current for a couple of minutes.

Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder. Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 passes.
If Memtest checks back clean after 5+ passes, follow these instructions for enabling driver verifier: Using Driver Verifier to identify issues with Drivers
Please follow these instructions in order to run it:
Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.
So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Windows 7 Startup Repair feature).
Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.
Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).
Reboot into Windows (after the crash) and turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.
If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.
If that doesn't work, post back and we'll have to see about fixing the registry entry off-line.

Business news : 10 banks agree to pay $8.5B for foreclosure abuse
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ten major banks and mortgage companies have agreed to pay $8.5 billion to settle complaints that they wrongfully foreclosed on homeowners who should have been allowed to stay in their homes.
Federal Regulators say the banks will pay billions to homeowners to end a review process of foreclosure files that was required under a 2011 enforcement action. The banks mishandled people's paperwork and skipped required steps in the foreclosure process.
Under the settlement, people who were wrongfully foreclosed on could receive from a few hundred dollars up to $125,000.
Advocates estimate that about 400,000 homeowners would be eligible for compensation under the settlement with the Federal Reserve and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
Banks involved in the settlement include Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo.

HAMPTON — Jane Copp may have retired from her position as Hampton Academy's art teacher in 2011, but that doesn't mean she has retired from teaching.
HAMPTON — Jane Copp may have retired from her position as Hampton Academy's art teacher in 2011, but that doesn't mean she has retired from teaching.
In fact, Copp is still going strong in the realm of artistic instruction, now offering private lessons in her home studio to adults as well as to students in middle and high school.
Seven of Copp's students currently have their work on display in the Wheaton Lane Room at the Lane Memorial Library, and a well-attended reception was held last Saturday evening to celebrate their achievements in drawing and painting.
The participating students showcasing their work are Cate Cassassa, Sara Duhamel, Isabelle Flemming, Meredith Maloney and Michaela Maloney (all teens), and Nancy Drew and Maggie Ginieres (both adults).
"I think they have done a fabulous job," said Copp, surrounded by the artists and guests during the reception. "They have come a long way — it's amazing. I'm delighted in what they have accomplished."
Close to 60 people ventured through the doors into the Lane Room to enjoy viewing an array of still life, landscapes and portraits captured in vibrant acrylics, watercolors, and graphite.
"Everybody's work is so impressive," said Steve Scatturo, taking a close look at Flemming's lifelike graphite drawing of a dog. "It's just so nice to see local artists."
Scatturo's mother, Irene, agreed, saying she was "totally impressed" with what she viewed.
"I'm in awe of anyone who can put pen or pencil to paper and come up with this," she said. "I'm not an artist, but I can certainly appreciate it."
Sandy Buck observed that the Ginieres' extensive selection of artwork "really shows how talented Maggie is. I've known her for years and never knew she could do this."
Another Ginieres friend, Brian Abasciano, complimented her on a still life that featured eggs, a nest and feathers she painted in neutral acrylics against a draped backdrop of brown and black fabrics.
"There's something about it — it's like it comes off the (canvas)," he said. "Maggie is obviously a very talented artist."
As an educator, Copp is no stranger to holding art exhibits in the Lane Room — she showcased her middle school students' work there for 10 years while at Hampton Academy.
"I always liked using the library for shows," said Copp, noting that the Lane Room's deep blue walls provide "a very nice presentation" for artwork.
Her students seem pleased to have the opportunity to exhibit their art in a space that public services librarian Darrell Eifert called a "valuable community resource" for such events. This is one of numerous art exhibits Eifert has coordinated for the library.
"I appreciate Jane doing this," said Ginieres, who may possibly hold a show of her own at the library at some point in the future. "It's fun to do it with other people. It's not as intimidating as I thought it would be."
Drew, whose half-dozen framed graphite drawings documented her progress from a simple still life with pumpkins to a scenic barn that had to be drawn using a grid technique, admitted she was a little hesitant when Copp first suggested holding the show.
"I was like, 'I don't know about that,'" said Drew, who gradually warmed up to the idea and happily welcomed friends who attended the reception. "I'm proud of my work now. I'm not afraid," she added with a smile.
Drew explained how Copp "has just taught me so much. She's a very calming, enthusiastic and caring teacher. She lets you do your work, then she just comes over to critique it."
Eighth-grader Michaela Maloney has taken classes with Copp (her neighbor) for the past two summers. Having received lessons during her regular art classes at Hampton Academy, Maloney said she "went right into painting" under Copp's instruction.
Maloney has on display a rose painted in acrylics and a fish done in watercolors. She said she "was really proud" of her work.
Fleming's selections include a vertical panel of tropical fish captured in watercolors and a coastal scene in graphite.
She has been taking lessons with Copp for the past year, after someone recommended Fleming contact her for instruction.
"I was self-taught," Fleming explained. "I came to her for strategies and techniques for paining and drawing. I progressively got better."
Depending upon their level of ability, Copp typically has her students start with the "basic tenets of drawing" especially if they are novices.
"I like people to be proficient in drawing before they go on to painting," she explained. Lessons are "custom-tailored" and typically provided on an individual basis, though she has taught in a group setting.
Whether she's teaching a single student or a group of them, Copp — an author as well as an artist — has found that "the students are enthusiastic and focused on their work. (It's) really exciting."
The public is invited to share that excitement by viewing the exhibit, which will be on display in the Lane Room throughout the month of July at the Lane Memorial Library.

Messiah Vol. 2
by John Newton
Enter your search query for this book.
Results will appear here as you type.
Page loading...
Most remember John Newton as the writer of one of the most beloved Christian songs
of all time: "Amazing Grace." Having spent his younger years serving on a slave ship,
he faced an unfathomable guilt both before and after his conversion. Convicted, he spent
years studying Scripture, and he offered his life to the Methodist Church as a minister.
Newton's congregation in Olney, Buckinghamshire flourished, and people crowded his
church on Sundays. In 1786, Newton published fifty sermons on G.F. Handel's Messiah.
Just as the oratorio, Newton's sermons address Christ's death, resurrection, offer of
salvation, and paving of the way to new life for his followers. Newton speaks powerfully
about conversion and redemption. His words clearly belong to the iconic composer of
"Amazing Grace."

On the road to Cádiz
The big burn.
Summer has recoloured the country. What had been verdant crop is now yellow and baled in rows at regular intervals. Dusty and baked. Cattle sit down in the heat. The only living crop an endless field of sunflowers.
Vultures spiral.
We pass an expanse of solar panels that seem for all the world to have been built especially to resemble the local pine forests. Squat structures with wide canopies – sucking up the sun and casting shade beneath them. They sit on a rise as cracked and parched as a desert.
Brown, yellow, dusty greys – the colours dead things go before they disappear forever. The season scorches the year's remains. Clears the way. As much death in Summer as there is in Winter; as much life there as there is now, here. It doesn't seem such a brutal truth looking at wheat fields that I know will be green again and soon. More

Allgaier to Start 20th in Phoenix NNS Race
November 8, 2008
AVONDALE, Ariz. (November 8, 2008) – Justin Allgaier, driver of the Penske Racing No. 12 Penske Truck Rental Dodge Charger in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, captured the 20th starting position for the running of the Hefty Odor Block 200 on Saturday, November 8, 2008.
Allgaier, the 2008 ARCA RE/MAX Series Champion, will be making his third Nationwide Series start for Penske Racing in the No. 12 Dodge this weekend at Phoenix International Raceway. This is Allgaier's first start at the one-mile flat-track just outside Phoenix, Arizona.
"I'm really glad to have made the race today," said Allgaier. "It is our third start in three attempts so I pretty happy about that. We made big gains in the car in the past two races but fought tight conditions. Today we were a little loose in qualifying but that isn't a bad thing heading into the race this afternoon. You need a freer race car here. I think the Penske Truck Rental Dodge will be right where we need it to be in the race today."
Broadcast coverage of the Hefty Odor Block 200 is slated to begin at 4 p.m. ET, Saturday, November 8, 2008 on the ESPN2 television network. MRN Radio coverage begins at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Driver: Justin Allgaier
Position: 20th
Time: 27.651

Last week, I kissed my five-year-old daughter goodbye in Beijing and got on a flight bound for Rio de Janeiro. 25 hours later, I joined some 50,000 other people in Rio for the Rio+20 Earth Summit.
Absent from that big crowd, though, are leaders of such major western powers as US, UK and Germany. Though small in number, their high-profile absence has cast a shadow on the summit at Copacabana. On the other hand, their counterparts from BASIC countries – four new economic powerhouses of the world: Brazil, South Africa, India and China – will all be represented at the summit.
One of the world's most fundamental changes since the first Earth Summit in 1992 is the rise of China to the status of the world's second biggest economy – and one of the biggest polluters of the environment. On its way to becoming a giant economy, China has also made itself the world's largest user of coal, CO2 emitter, timber importer and consumer and producer of steel and cement. The road was not without pleasant surprises though: by the end of 2010, China overtook the United States as the world's biggest country in installed wind capacity, and it has safeguarded the future of its food by keeping genetically engineered rice within labs. But overall, China will without doubt occupy the center of attention as not only the biggest economy present at Rio+20 but also a major polluter. And Beijing knows that there is no chance China can sail smoothly through the 3-day event without making visible efforts. At a side event held on Saturday, China announced a string of initiatives on poverty eradication, energy efficiency and international cooperation for sustainable development.
Together with other developing countries, China should take actions that western powers like the US and Canada are shamefully blocking. It would make me so proud to see China actively speak out in Rio on major global environmental issues such as the protection of the High Seas, and commit to pursuing an energy revolution and sustainable agriculture at home.
The world has witnessed China growing into a major power since 1992. Now, together with other rising powers of today, China can and should play a vital part in delivering the future that my daughter's generation deserves.
The negotiations here in Rio continue. We received the latest negotiating text last night. If adopted as it stands, it would condemn the world to a future of pollution, plunder and destruction. There is no action here, no commitment, no future we want. The only encouraging inclusion is the Oceans Rescue Plan for the High Seas.

White Sox lefty Matt Thornton spun on the mound and threw wildly toward second base in an ill-fated attempt at picking off Drew Stubbs. The baseball bounced into center field, setting the stage for a 3-2 comeback victory in which Asdrubal Cabrera played the role of hero and starter Justin Masterson walked away a winner after another solid performance.
"That was perfect," Cabrera said of Thornton's mistake. "That's what I was thinking when I was waiting. That was the perfect time for winning the game."
Cleveland's rally was ignited when Stubbs chopped a pitch from Thornton down the third-base line and raced to first for a one-out, infield single in the eighth. With Chicago clinging to a 2-1 lead, Stubbs promptly stole second base. Thornton followed with a walk to Michael Brantley and then, with the fleet-footed Stubbs a threat to swipe third, the lefty tried to catch the runner napping.
Instead, Stubbs and Brantley each advanced easily to third and second, respectively, with Jason Kipnis at the plate.
For a brief moment, Thornton appeared on the verge of an escape act when he struck Kipnis out. Cabrera, however, had other plans. Mired in an early-season slump, the Tribe's All-Star shortstop (hitting .156 on the year) opted for an aggressive approach, hacking at the first pitch. Cabrera lined it into center, plating both Stubbs and Brantley to push Cleveland ahead for good.
After the game, Cabrera's sore left wrist -- hurt during a fall on the dugout steps on Saturday in Houston -- was wrapped in ice. The shortstop sat out Sunday to rest his hand, and then made the most of his return to the lineup.
"I love those situations," he said.
The Indians (8-10) have now won three games in a row for the first time this season.
"Catching a little break here, that's part of the game," Masterson said. "Catching some breaks. That's kind of what we needed at that time, especially for us to keep this streak that we started in Houston [this past weekend]. We've put together some good games."
Of course, it did not hurt that Masterson turned in another strong outing.
Masterson improved to 4-1 on the season and lowered his ERA to 1.85 behind seven solid innings. The big sinkerballer scattered four hits and was charged with two runs, finishing the evening with five strikeouts and four walks. Masterson's sinker was high in the zone at times -- leading to more fly balls than usual -- but he played damage control, and held Chicago to an 0-for-4 showing with runners in scoring position.
The White Sox (7-12) broke through in the form of a solo home run from Conor Gillaspie in the second inning and a run-scoring double by Hector Gimenez in the fourth. Gimenez's two-base hit carried deep to left field, where Brantley crashed into the wall trying to make the catch.
Brantley came up empty, but Masterson was still impressed.
"Michael Brantley was running into a wall for me," Masterson said. "Those are the incredible things that you like to see on this team."
Masterson was also quick to praise catcher Carlos Santana, who noticed that pinch-runner Blake Tekotte was inching off second base with no outs in the seventh inning. Santana alerted the Tribe's middle infielders, and then the catcher threw down to Cabrera for a critical pick-off. One pitch later, Masterson induced an inning-ending double play off the bat of Alejandro De Aza.
"We really needed a play," Masterson said. "[Santana's pick-off] was like a momentum swing for us, because then it was the next inning where we scored the couple runs. Cabby had a real clutch hit for us. I was just happy. That was nice to see."
Cleveland has enjoyed seeing such a strong turnaround from Masterson, who labored throughout last season.
"I was convinced in Spring Training," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "He's good, and he's backing it up. That's the biggest thing in our game, is being consistent and he's backing it up at a pretty high rate."
The Indians struck first against White Sox starter Dylan Axelrod, who gave up a single to Jason Giambi and later issued a two-out walk to Mark Reynolds in the second inning. Lonnie Chisenhall followed by slicing a pitch from Axelrod into left field, where the ball took an unusual bounce and quickly skipped by De Aza in left field, resulting in an unlikely double.
As De Aza and Chicago shortstop Alexei Ramirez chased down the ball, the 42-year-old Giambi lumbered home from second base to put the Indians ahead, 1-0.
The Indians went quiet against Axelrod for the remainder of his outing. The White Sox right-hander surrendered three hits, walked two and ended the night with four strikeouts. Axelrod was in line for the win until Thornton's gaffe created Cleveland's window of opportunity.
"I gave the game away," Thornton said.

Fearing an electoral backlash over rising gasoline prices, President Obama has been touting his energy policies. "We can't have an energy strategy for the last century that traps us in the past," the president said in a recent appearance. "We need an energy strategy for the future."
Promising to save Americans money by having the federal government play a more active role in developing future energy-efficient vehicles, the president said of critics, "There always have been folks who are the naysayers and don't believe in the future, and don't believe in trying to do things differently."
What's strange about this futuristic talk is that Mr. Obama's plan to boost vehicle efficiency relies heavily on decades-old policies that have repeatedly failed. Indeed, the fuel efficiency of the US automotive fleet, which grew rapidly throughout the 1970s and 1980s, slowed significantly after the federal government became an active "partner" in vehicle design.
Before 1993, the federal government took mostly a backseat role in automobile design. Then President Clinton created the Partnership for the Next Generation Vehicle, a joint venture between the federal government and major American car companies.
"Today we are going to...launch a technological adventure as ambitious as any our nation has ever attempted," Mr. Clinton said in a Rose Garden ceremony. Vice President Gore added, "The public should expect breakthroughs that will redefine the automobile industry and position our companies to have an excellent chance to dominate the market for an entirely new kind of automobile."
Throughout the 1990s the Clinton administration kept up the hype, promising that by 2004 Detroit would be supplying consumers with 80-mile-per-gallon, family-sized vehicles. Yet by the dawn of the new century it became clear that this was a pipe dream.
Even more embarrassing was the fact that Toyota and Honda, foreign firms that had been excluded from the partnership, began introducing hybrid cars to the American market with fuel efficiency levels that approached the targets set for Clinton's partnership program.
Failure in government, however, is often the ticket to an even larger policy role. In 2002, the Bush administration rebranded the partnership the FreedomCAR, pumped up its budget, and expanded its mission. The next year the program grew to include energy firms, and its budget ballooned even more.
In the 2003 State of the Union address President Bush proclaimed, "With a national commitment, our scientists and engineers will overcome obstacles to taking these cars from laboratory to showroom so that the first car driven by a child born today could be powered by hydrogen and be pollution-free."
Again, however, actual program results bore little semblance to presidential rhetoric. Nevertheless, the program lives on today, again under a new name – US DRIVE.
In spite of this record of failure, the Obama administration has poured hundreds of millions into the so-called advanced vehicle and fuel industries and wants to increase involvement in the future. Unfortunately, the harm done by these handouts is likely to extend far beyond simply wasting taxpayers' money.
The federal government has no expertise designing fuel-efficient vehicles. Nor does it have any unique insight as to which technologies will be successful in the future. What it does have is the ability to trade legislation favorable to its "partners" for campaign contributions and political support.
This unholy alliance between government and business could act as an impediment to innovation as insiders use their political clout to squash innovation by outsiders that threatens them. If people doubt this, they only need recall what happened to Japanese companies when they proved "too successful" at providing consumers with high-quality, technologically advanced and fuel-efficient cars in the 1980s: The US government slapped import restrictions on them at the behest of US automakers and their unions.
The perversion of public policy to serve private interests is hardly confined to the automobile industry. High prices and inefficiencies brought about by the so-called "capture" of federal agencies overseeing railroads, trucking, and airlines led to politicians with as diverse views as Ronald Reagan and Ted Kennedy championing deregulation of those sectors in the 1970s and 1980s.
The benefit to consumers of disentangling public and private interests has been enormous. The resulting drop in fares brought about by structural and technological innovation of the airline industry, for example, helped turn a mode of transportation once reserved for the "jet-set" into one for the masses.
The high-tech products that have added so much to our lives in recent years – smart phones, iPads, and the like – are not the result of public-private partnerships or federal subsidy programs. Instead they are the outcome of firms wrangling for consumers' dollars in the marketplace. The federal foray into automotive engineering over the last two decades has clearly shown that such intervention is not a substitute for this process. Indeed it's been a hindrance.
The key to developing the vehicles of tomorrow is to end government intervention in the automotive sector and allow firms to experiment with a wide range of technologies on an open, level playing field. Such a do-nothing policy would help our country progress in two important areas: developing more efficient, safer and smarter cars, and cleaning up Washington.

Murder charges have been filed against a 71-year-old Seattle man who is accused of a 1957 slaying of a girl he allegedly abducted from DeKalb County, officials said today.
Maria Ridulph, 7, went missing on Dec. 3, 1957 after she was last seen playing with her friend near their homes in Sycamore. Her skeletal remains were found on April 26, 1958 in Jo Daviess County, officials said.
Jack Daniel McCullough, now 71, was a suspect at the time of her abduction and murder. But the case turned cold when McCullough joined the military and changed his name, according to the DeKalb County state's attorney's office. McCullough also uses the name John Tessier, officials said.
An arrest warrant containing a $3 million bail was issued for McCullough, who is now in the custody of King County Jail in Seattle and awaiting extradition, officials said.
Maria's brother, Charles Ridulph, spoke briefly today outside his Sycamore home.
"We didn't know until last night," said Ridulph. "My sisters and I are shocked. We have to re-live this now."
Ridulph said his daughter told him today that she was sad her grandparents were not here to see the arrest, but he said he was glad they weren't.
"They don't have to live through this," he said. "We struggled with this so long but now it is happening all over again."
Sycamore Police Chief Donald Thomas said a two-year probe led by Illinois State Police with assistance from the Sycamore and Seattle police departments culminated in Friday's murder charges.
"This is a very quiet, safe town and this obviously is still quite remembered," he said.
Thomas said McCullough, who was born with the surname Tessier, lived in Sycamore in 1957, about two blocks from Maria's family. Investigators at the time believed the killer was named "Johnny," but McCullough had an alibi, so they didn't pursue him as a suspect.
Recently, however, new information came to light that implicated McCullough, Thomas said.
Thomas said McCullough as a teen claimed he had been on a train traveling from Rockford to Chicago.
His alibi fell apart in 2010 when a former girlfriend came forward to report she had seen the train ticket decades ago and it was unused and unstamped, said Thomas, citing information contained in a warrant authorities obtained to search the suspect's Seattle home.
That unused train ticket, dated the same time that Maria vanished, led authorities to refocus their attention on McCullough, Thomas said.
He said police continued their investigation, which this week led them to McCullouch's door.
"Through a series of interviews, including with Mr. Tessier, we were able to determine he was the person who had killed Maria Ridulph," the chief said. "We gleaned from that interview that he was the killer."
On Monday, Illinois authorities sent two Sycamore detectives and two state police detectives toWashington. McCullough was arrested at his home Wednesday.
Asked whether McCullough confessed to the killing, Thomas declined to say. He added that the investigation was not based on DNA or other physical evidence, given that the slaying happened so long ago.
Thomas said McCullough is married and had worked as a police officer in aWashington town until the mid 1980s, when he was arrested and later convicted for having sex with a 13-year-old girl.
Tribune stories published after the killing say that Maria was playing with a friend in a vacant lot in Sycamore when a young, blond-haired man who called himself "Johnny" approached, telling them he was unmarried and offering to give the girls a piggy-back ride.
The other girl went home to get a doll and when she returned, the man and Maria were still there.
"But in a minute or two the older girl complained of cold hands and went home to get her mittens," reads a story marking the four-year anniversary of Maria's disappearance. "When she returned, both were gone."
Maria's badly decomposed body was found in a wooded area near Woodbine, about 18 miles east of Galena, by a couple looking for mushrooms, according to another Tribune story, dated April 27, 1958.
Maria's parents identified her with a shirt taken from the body and a strand of hair.
Tribune reporter Art Barnum contributed.

Our president, not being content with trying to "fundamentally change," the United States Of America, travels the world with his crusade to change the definition of marriage. Fortunately, some of those he would deceive are having none of his nest fouling.
Aside from Obama's wasting billions of dollars on his and his family's grand excursions, he is wasting the time and resources of other nations. The following story from Breitbart.com is an example of how his advocacy for same-sex marriage is being rejected:
Kenyan Cardinal John Njue, Archbishop of Nairobi and president of the Kenyan Episcopal Conference, joined other African leaders last week in open dismissal of President Obama's urging to accept same-sex marriage.
"Those people who have already ruined their society…let them not become our teachers to tell us where to go," said Njue in response to Obama's statements promoting same-sex marriage. "I think we need to act according to our own traditions and our faiths."
The above is a good illustration of how unimpressed many African leaders are with Obama and his silly ideas. The rest of the story can be read from the link below.

A grant is a donation of money or property from a sponsor in exchange for specific services such as, but not limited to, research, development, or service projects. Grants may come from a governmental, quasi-governmental entity, or the private-sector (including individuals). A grant may include funding for indirect costs or overhead including funds for facilities and administration. Although grants do not typically seek specific research outcomes, they do come with terms and conditions. The presence of any of the following conditions shall necessitate that the funds be treated as a grant.
A gift is a donation of money or property from a sponsor with the expectation of nothing significant of value in return. Gifts may come from non-governmental sources or the private-sector (such as individuals, groups, and businesses). Government funds are not treated as gifts. A gift is either restricted or unrestricted. An unrestricted gift may be spent at the discretion of the university and is not limited to specific purposes, objective, programs, or organizational units. A restricted gift is earmarked for a specific purpose, objective, program, or organizational unit, but the donor does not have specific control over expenditures or over the work preformed. A gift is considered unrestricted if the donor does not specify how the funds are to be used. Gift funds may be used to meet the cost sharing commitment on a sponsored project if the purpose of the gift so allows. As long as the general interest of the donor is met, the funds may be spent at the discretion of the university. Although gifts are not base d on performance, they do come with terms and conditions. The presence of any of the following conditions shall necessitate that the funds be treated as a gift.
The Cost Accounting Standards Board (CASB) set forth broad policies governing sponsored project financial administration. Four Cost Accounting Standards were added to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-21 on November 8, 1994, and became effective January 9, 1995. These rules were incorporated into A-21 and all awards made on or after July 1, 1996, must follow these requirements. As a recipient of federal awards, the University of North Florida is obligated to comply with numerous rules and regulations promulgated by federal agencies including OMB A-21.
Facilities and administrative costs (also called indirect costs) are the costs associated with providing facilities and administrative support for the conduct of research and other sponsored activities are necessary if faculty and staff are to be successful in their efforts. These real costs of a university are not readily identifiable with a particular project or activity but, nonetheless, are necessary to the general operation of a university and the conduct of its activities. They include the costs of operating and maintaining buildings and grounds, equipment, the libraries, and of providing administration at the university, college and department levels.
The rates are listed on the UNF Rate Sheet.
For more information, see the Indirect Costs FAQs
Organized research - all research and development activities of an institution that are separately budgeted and accounted for. It includes:
Effective July 1, 2012:
Cost sharing is the portion of project or program cost not borne by the sponsor. It is the University's share of the cost of research. Cost sharing occurs when either a sponsor requires or the University commits funds beyond those awarded by the sponsoring agency to support a particular grant or contract. Cost sharing is primarily required by federal sponsors, and the obligation must be met using non-federal funds. Only charges that would be allowable as direct costs to the recipient grant are allowable as cost sharing. Federal flow through funds may not be used as a cost sharing source unless prior written approval has been received from both the federal sponsor and the flow through sponsor. UNF's policy, generally, is to not commit cost sharing unless it is required by the sponsor. Whenever cost sharing is explicitly set forth and committed in a proposal and an award is made based on that proposal or cost sharing is required as a condition of an award, the cost sharing must be documented in the University's records and included in the grant file. It is the PI's responsibility to secure cost sharing from University chairs, deans, department heads, vice presidents and/or from external sources. Common forms of cost sharing include salary related to faculty and staff effort, matching funds for equipment, or cash or in-kind contributions from external sources. When cost sharing is required, and if allowable by the funding agency, the University may contribute the difference between the F&A rate allowed by the agency and its federally negotiated F&A rate, if the agency rate is less, as in-kind cost sharing to the project. When cost sharing is required, and if allowed by the funding agency, the University may calculate the F&A costs on its cash cost-sharing portion of the project and contribute them as in-kind cost sharing. All cost sharing resources must meet the following criteria as outlined in OMB Circular A-110:

There are two types of light bulb;
1. Energy saving, compact flourescent, fluorescent
These are the official bulbs you are supposed to fit everywhere. They will make you look like a witch; the pronounced green / blue cast turns the skin a deathly sick green decaying colour like a day-old zombie and highlights all those tiny lines and wrinkles. They make you look as though you're in the terminal stages of an unpleasant disease. If you apply make-up under this light and then go outdoors into real light, you will look hideous and tasteless. Never choose clothes under this light - they will be a different colour in real light, too.
2. Incandescent
These are the old type bulbs that the EU has made totally illegal from 1st September. They flatter, smooth wrinkles and blemishes and throw a faintly red/amber cast that's warm and sexy; under this light you look fit, healthy, desirable and to the subconscious male psyche faintly flushed as though sexually stimulated. Make up applied under this light will look sophisticated, restrained and expert in real daylight. This is why professional make-up mirrors have a ring of incandescent bulbs not strip lights.
Neither the green cast from fluorescent or the pinky cast from incandescent is visible - the brain corrects what the eye sees so that both appear 'white', but the subconscious registers the true colour and conditions our responses accordingly.
Here's a scientific explanation that you won't possibly understand. So please go back to playing with kittens, and remember - DON'T let your tradesmen fit the witch-bulbs or you'll never enjoy male attention again

Coffee can have bundles of exciting flavour and character, and our shop is about brewing and offering the most desirable, and simply stunning coffees that we can find. What's available changes weekly and is influenced massively by the fact that coffee tastes better if you embrace the seasonality of coffee growing.
Espresso Coffee
Intense little drinks
The espresso method is synonymous with Italy and dark bitter tough drinks laden with sugar. Speciality coffee however, makes the most of this method to deliver complex, balanced and intense little drinks with natural sweetness and desirable acidity. The three espressos we have on will also combine beautifully with steamed milk. The flavour notes in store are presented for the espresso on its own, along with separate notes for how it tastes with steamed milk.
The Brew Bar
Elegant and aromatic
Filter gets a bad rap and is seen as espresso's inferior sidekick. But it should be known that all of the worlds most valued coffees are graded as a filter style coffee. There is nowhere for the coffee to hide. It's arguable that filter coffee requires everything to be spot on, right through from crop to cup. When approached like this, they are worlds apart from free filter refills. They are complex and aromatic. The results are exciting and because of the huge difference to commercial coffee, the filters we serve are recommended black and develop flavour and sweetness as they cool down.
You will see coffees making an appearance from a variety of countries if they are in season and display speciality flavour. The coffees we have on will change weekly and are sourced from the country's leading roasteries.

Did you know? we are one of the few countries in the world, dependent on tourism that actually imposes a €10 passenger tax on people coming into the country. Crazy isn't it? when we are fast running out of options for generating revenue and saving our economy, tourism having been one of the most enduring, is now possibly the last and what do we do?
Ireland's reputation as a tourist destination has never been an issue, it can stand proudly on its own two humble feet. We didn't need a horrendously expensive, shiny, expanse of glass & steel to make that point. We already have two perfectly good International airports at Knock and Shannon, which are practically idle? what were they thinking of?
And to add insult to injury we are now having our noses rubbed in it by being subjected to the most cringe worthy TV advert I have ever seen, you can watch it at the link below. It features a (cute enough, God Bless him) Bond type business suit strolling through the EMPTY (hello, the 400 jobs its was supposed to generate in retail sales, not going to work, if there's actually nobody using it) terminal extolling the virtues of dear old Ireland.
The great poets, playwrights, explorers and authors, true? But "sending racehorses and charity around the globe" in the same sentence? what has either got to do with the other? And since when did any proud Irishman look for credit for being charitable? He even goes on about the fact that our skin burns in 2.4 seconds what is that about? and who the hell cares.....?
We already have the world's attention, right now, for all the wrong reasons. Our economy is a joke, we could even bring Europe down with us and leadership non existent. Everyman, woman and child in this country is now responsible for some 90 billion euros of debt, which they didn't incur (so none of us are likely to jetting off around the world any day soon) Our consolation prize? this great White Elephant we are supposed to be so proud of it's a joke.
The sooner we cop ourselves on and get down to business, the better. Give it over to Michael O'Leary, scrap that tourism tax and get people actually coming into the country and then maybe just maybe we'll have something we can be genuinely proud of....
