Today is Veteran's Day, which used to be Armistice Day, which got me thinking about lost empires, which is why I'm going to compare my sewing room to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. My husband's to-do list and mine hit a rare convergence, where he wanted to install shelves in my sewing room just when I was considering how I could persuade him to let me pull out the various bins and bags to re-organize them. This is certainly more positive than the inciting incident of World War I, the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, but equally as unexpected. It also resulted in a total restructuring of the sewing room as significant (to me at least) as what happened in Central Europe. This was the shape of my Empire of Piles on the eve of the great change.
I moved bins and stacks and bags and piles and heaven only knows what into the living room, then attacked the dust. The battle was long and fierce. Seriously, I think some of those dust bunnies were on the verge of developing language skills. When the battlefield was clean, we imposed the new structure.
Once the shelves were up, I had to reorganize. My bins were supposed to resolve themselves into autonomous units, but as with the fallen empire the reality proved far different. Some bins were practically empty, hollow cases that I imagined held treasure but which ended up being filled with something else. The mixing in the bins and bags surprised me. Labels meant nothing. I found florals with the stripes, orphan blocks hiding under fat quarters, beads where you would never expect them. Eventually, I managed to set up several sovereign states.
Even better, I managed to clear a corridor for easy navigation to the sewing machine.
Of course, there were some casualties – and some refugees. Although I grieved over every scrap, some fabrics could not be saved. Other items have found their way into a holding bin, and I hope to relocate them soon.
Luck and wisdom!

Julie Pratt enters her first season as an assistant coach for the Spartans in 2019-20.
Prior to coming to CWRU, Pratt spent 13 seasons as the associate head coach at the University of Akron. During that time, she assisted in all aspects of the program and aided in the Zip's recruiting efforts.
Pratt previously spent seven seasons at IUPUI, the last six as head coach. During her tenure in Indianapolis, she amassed a 101-191 (.346) career record and was one of two coaches in school history to accumulate at least 100 wins. In 2005, she coached IUPUI to a 20-25 overall record and 10-10 mark in league play, earning Coach of the Year honors.
She mentored 13 all-conference players and 14 Academic All-Mid-Con student-athletes as head coach. Three players were named Mid-Con Newcomer of the Year and three earned all-region status under her tutelage.
Pratt also served as an assistant coach at Wright State from 1996-98. While there, she helped the Raiders to a then school-record 29 wins in 1997 in addition to heading up the Student-Athlete Resource Center.
A 1996 graduate of Akron with a degree in sociology and corrections, Pratt was a four-year letterwinner for the Zips at catcher and designated player, playing under her maiden name of Julie Bias. A 1994 All-Mid-American Conference selection, she ranks eighth on the career home runs list (22) and eighth on the RBI tally with 104. She still shares the single-season record for doubles with 17, is fourth in single season RBI (46) and 10th in single season home runs (9). In 2013, Pratt was inducted into the Varsity "A" Hall of Fame for her accomplishments during her time as a student-athlete.
Pratt and her husband Chris have three children, Hunter, Savannah, and Parker.

Associations of common variants at 1p11.2 and 14q24.1 (RAD51L1) with breast cancer risk and heterogeneity by tumor subtype: Findings from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium.
Publication Type:Journal Article
Source:Human molecular genetics, Volume 20, Issue 23, p.4693-4706 (2011)
Keywords:2011, Alleles, Breast Neoplasms, Case-Control Studies, Center-Authored Paper, Chromosomes, Human, Pair 1, Chromosomes, Human, Pair 14, Confidence Intervals, DNA-Binding Proteins, Female, Genetic Heterogeneity, Genetic Predisposition to Disease, Genome-Wide Association Study, Humans, Odds Ratio, Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide, Public Health Sciences Division, Receptor, erbB-2, Receptors, Estrogen, Receptors, Progesterone, Risk Factors, September 2011
A genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 1p11.2 and 14q24.1 (RAD51L1) as breast cancer susceptibility loci. The initial GWAS suggested stronger effects for both loci for estrogen receptor (ER) positive tumors. Using data from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium(BCAC) we sought to determine if risks differ by ER, progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), grade, node status, tumor size, and ductal or lobular morphology. We genotyped rs11249433 at 1p.11.2, and two highly correlated SNPs rs999737 and rs10483813 (r(2)=0.98) at 14q24.1 (RAD51L1), for up to 46,036 invasive breast cancer cases and 46,930 controls from 39 studies. Analyses by tumor characteristics focused on subjects reporting to be white women of European ancestry and were based on 25,458 cases, of which 87% had ER data. The SNP at 1p11.2 showed significantly stronger associations with ER-positive tumors [per allele- odds ratio (OR) for ER-positive tumors was 1.13, 95%CI=1.10 to 1.16, and for ER-negative tumors OR was 1.03, 95%CI=0.98 to 1.07, case only P-heterogeneity = 7.6x10(-5)]. The association with ER-positive tumors was stronger for tumors of lower grade (case-only P=6.7 x10(-3)) and lobular histology (case-only P =0.01). SNPs at 14q24.1 were associated with risk for most tumor subtypes evaluated including triple-negative breast cancers, which has not been described previously. Our results underscore the need for large pooling efforts with tumor pathology data to help refine risk estimates for SNP associations with susceptibility to different subtypes of breast cancer.

(Please note: the names and locations of all parties have been changed to protect the confidentiality of the participants in this car accident/personal injury case and its proceedings.)
The following blog entry is written from a defendant's position as trial approaches. Reviewing this kind of briefing should help potential plaintiffs and clients better understand how parties in a personal injury case present such issues to the court.
11. Defendant's Theory of the Case
Plaintiff is 100% negligent and is the sole cause of the auto collision and his resultant injuries. There is no evidence that defendant violated any law or ordinance or did something that a reasonably careful person would not do in the same situation, or that defendant failed to do something that a reasonably careful person would do in the same situation. At all times, defendant used reasonable care to prevent injury to himself and to others.
The accident occurred in one of two ways:
(a) Plaintiff came riding down the sidewalk in violation of Sacramento Traffic Ordinance Section 96 (bicycle on a sidewalk), failed to keep a careful lookout for cars turning right from the Boulevard onto Ridge and failed to yield the right of way to defendant, who was lawfully traveling east on Ridge; or
(b) Plaintiff came riding down the Frontage Road, ran through the stop sign at Ridge, failed to keep a careful lookout for cars turning right from the Boulevard onto Ridge and failed to yield the right of way to defendant, who was lawfully traveling east on Ridge.
In both (a) and (b) above, plaintiff was a relatively inexperienced bicycle rider who was not helmeted and wore no reflective or protective clothing while riding a bicycle at night, with no headlight. Plaintiff is culpable of violating the Code sections enumerated above, thus creating a negligence per se situation. (See Part 7 of 7.)
For more information you are welcome to contact Sacramento personal injury lawyer, Moseley Collins.

Home Field Advantage
A pair of store parties shut down Via Montenapoleone and stopped traffic in the streets around it last night. On one side of the block, Ferragamo's Massimiliano Giornetti was celebrating the label's newly reopened flagship alongside Freida Pinto and Francesca Eastwood, Clint's daughter, both of whom wore Ferragamo head to toe. On the other, Prada was having a store party of its own. In fact, Prada spread the festivities across two of its shops, on Montenapoleone and at the Galleria in the Duomo Square. The Galleria was particularly packed. It could've been the fact that that was where Miuccia, fresh off a genius Spring show, was mingling. On the other hand, it might've been the very tasty chicken nuggets. With 10-plus shows on the schedule and each of them starting about 45 minutes late, nobody had time for lunch, let alone dinner.
But people made time for dancing later, as Alison Moyet performed at the Agnona party at another of the endless fête-ready palazzi that seem to dot this city. Because he has spent the lion's share of his career in Paris and lives much of the time in Berlin, it's almost possible to forget that Stefano Pilati is an Italian designer. But he's now ensconced at Agnona and its brother line Zegna, and as he sat listening to Moyet surrounded by pals like Anna Dello Russo and the Brandolini sisters, the evening felt very much like a homecoming.

Benedict Cumberbatch appears in a passionate video message to accompany a charity song for Syrian refugees
The terrible extent of the refugee crisis was revealed when a picture of toddler Aylan Kurdi, who drowned while fleeing the conflict, circulated through the media.
Now Benedict Cumberbatch has joined the cause – he introduces a new video by Save The Children, which features interviews with refugees and the 1999 song Help Is Coming by Crowded House, which is being re-released in aid of the crisis. It's available to download on iTunes now, and all proceeds go to Save The Children.
Watch the video below:
Before the song starts playing over images the devastated Syrian landscape and footage of refugees talking about their perilous journeys, Benedict says: 'As people watching this tragedy unfold from the safety of our homes, with our safe children, we want to say that we see you, we hear you and help is coming.'
He recorded the message from his dressing room at the Barbican, where he's currently appearing as Hamlet. Re-releasing the little-known song by Crowded House was actually Caitlin Moran's idea, and she teamed up with fellow writer Peter Paphides to make it happen.
Crowded House frontman Neil Finn has also expressed his support for the song being used to raise awareness of the refugees' plight.
'It was always a song about refugees, even if at the time I was thinking about the immigrants setting off on ships from Europe to America, looking for a better life,' he said.

The Black Queens of Ghana picked bronze in the just ended West Africa Football Union (WAFU) Women's competition which was staged in Ivory Coast.
Ghana failed to defend the trophy they won last year as they lost to African champions Nigeria in the semi-finals on penalties.
The Black Queens were held by the Malians to a goalless draw in regulation time but managed to beat them on penalty shootouts.
The Black Queens won 8-7 on penalties to pick the third-place position.
Ghana had gone through the group stage without conceding a goal as they won games against Senegal, Mali and drew against host nation Ivory Coast in the final group game.
Head coach of the team, Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo says she is satisfied with the performance of her team even though they missed out on the finals.
The win also served as a revenge to Ghana as they lost to the Malians in the 2018 Africa Cup of Nations here in Accra.
In the final group game, Nigeria defeated Ivory Coast 5-4 on penalties at the Stade Robert Champroux on Saturday to win the ultimate.
Thomas Dennerby picked his second trophy with the Nigerian team after guiding them to win the 2018 Africa Women's Cup of Nations in Ghana.
This will be the Ivory Coast second defeat in two finals in a row.

Bullying is a widespread and serious problem across our nation. It's what happens when someone repeatedly hurts or threatens another person on purpose. Bullying comes in many forms: name calling, leaving people out, spreading rumors or physically hurting someone. And, it can happen in person, in writing, online, on cell phones, in school, on the bus, at home, or anywhere. It is not a normal rite of passage, it has serious consequences and it is NOT acceptable anywhere - especially at school.
At the beginning of last school year, I noticed within my own classroom hurtful comments between a few of my students which also continued into the hallways. After discussing the issue with the teacher of our Leadership class, we decided to survey a sample of our students. Out of approximately 300 responses received, over 60% of the students felt unsafe at school and expressed that they have either personally experienced bullying or were a witness to bullying.
Alarmed by the large percentage of students who felt unsafe, we began a school-wide Anti-Bullying Campaign:
- With the help of approximately 25 Leadership students and the principal, we held a school wide viewing of the movie, BULLY. Nearly 1,300 students viewed and discussed the film.
- The following week, we sent invitations to all family members about our Parent/Guardian Informational Anti-Bullying Pizza and Dessert Night. Nearly 100 family members showed up and a lively and emotional discussion followed suit. There was not a dry eye in the audience after the discussion panel of parents, students, teachers, and administrators committed to support one another.
- In February, all students were invited to participate in an anti-bullying poster contest and the school received over 300 entries. The Leadership students used these entries to create an anti-bullying gallery walk and organized an anti-bullying event which included activities such as watching a spoken-word video on bullying, creating poems in response to bullying, voting for the best anti-bullying poster, and signing anti-bullying pledges. A number of prizes were awarded to the top poems, posters, and reflections.
How did we make this a solid, engaging learning experience and not just a one-day event?
Dan Alba, Senior Program Associate for Facing History in Los Angeles, suggested that it would be best to begin the conversation first with teachers, administrators and school personnel. We took the following steps to create the safe environment for students to address this issue:
- All school faculty members were shown the movie first, then a discussion panel immediately followed allowing for questions, comments, and concerns about bringing this painful topic to the forefront.
- We provided pre-viewing lessons and activities taken directly from the BULLY toolkit and distributed it to all English teachers to use with their classes prior to viewing the movie. This we realized later was an extremely important step in preparing students for the painful and heavy topic that most of them could relate to.
- We organized separate screenings and facilitated discussions of the film BULLY for all 1,300 students within the same week, again providing the critical component of a discussion panel afterwards consisting of student volunteers, teachers, administrators, and parents.
- All English teachers received post-viewing lessons and activities to use in their classrooms in order to help students process the content and strong emotions they experienced.
- All English teachers received copies of the book, The Bully, by author Paul Langan to read with their classes.
How do we know it was successful?
After each screening and discussion, the intensity and courage level of students increased, which provided for a richer and more authentic discussion. It was surprising yet touching to see how students stood up for one another after each experience was publicly shared. There was none of the usual heckling or crass comments normally heard during a large student assembly. Rather, the head nods and claps showed a collective support and empathy for their fellow classmates.
Midway through the week of film screenings, the primary security official on campus told me about the intense and powerful conversations he overheard in the student courtyard. Students were confessing to one another about feeling safer and more comfortable in sharing their personal experiences. I knew at this point that our mission was being accomplished. Although we were not able to completely eradicate bullying type behavior, we were successful in establishing a safer environment where students felt freer to express their pain and suffering with an empathetic ear.
Families walked away with the necessary skills, tools, and resources to help their child deal with bullying.
Due to the increased awareness of bullying at our school, many students have volunteered to attend peer conflict mediation training because they too, want to be part of the solution.
What a powerful and impacting experience for all students to discuss this painful topic simultaneously!
Thanks to Phuong Nguyen for this post. She shares,
I am a 9th grade English teacher with a passion for teaching students the wonderful and powerful world of reading which was the key to my survival as a seven-year-old Vietnamese refugee. I enjoy reading, traveling, hiking, biking, researching and studying history.

The world of trend can be a dominant market in our world proper now as increasingly more designers creatively explore. Earlier than making your decide of ladies's vogue apparel make it possible for it blends properly together with your personality. Maybe designers know higher than to trifle with males's clothes; in spite of everything, the average Joe shouldn't be about to experiment with pants of a form that appears overseas to him.\n\nOn the opposite finish of the spectrum there are girls that purchase clothes with the plans to drop extra pounds but by no means do.

Searching for bridal lingerie, flattering bikinis or cosy night time attire?\n\nFun footwear like ballet flats, or wedges are good options when getting ready for the day. Improve your look: step up and step out in style, with 1000's of unimaginable design options, shop pure fashion at GearBest today. Simply store at thrift shops for past trends in ladies's trend, and up-cycle (changing previous clothes or supplies into one thing new) them into one thing modern and current.\n\nEvening footwear do not have to be black, in fact, silver or gold is simply as classic. Getting garments tailor-made to fit your needs too is a call of the season. All ladies wish to match their clothes with their footwear, and retaining this thought in mind has an assorted ranged of sneakers for women.\n\nThe word "informal chic" can imply anything from pants and heels to a enjoyable, quick dress. This is not truly a mode of jeans but is completely different for each girl out there. Easy a line clothes or black dresses with a fitted bodices and flared skirts are also very classic kinds which work significantly well for ladies with a pear shape or larger hips and thighs.

Will make that request to Anushka: Prabhas
Prabhas has humorously commented that he will make a request to Anushka to get married so that rumours about them will die once and for all. "Unless and until either I or Anushka gets married, the link-up rumours are going to be there. I guess I should request her to tie the knot with someone for these gossips to end," the 'Baahubali actor said.
A few days before, speaking to IndiaGlitz, Prabhas said, "It's just a rumour (that we are seeing each other). Had there been something between us, it would have come out in the open by now. Nobody can hide it for years. It has been more than two years since we completed shooting for 'Baahubali'."
In a recent interview, the 'Saaho' actor quipped that he may or may not be single currently. That's quite tricky for an answer on current relationships status!
Starring also Shraddha Kapoor and directed by Sujeeth, 'Saaho' will release on August 30.

FREE next day delivery when ordered before 2pm excludes Sundays (UK residents only)
"My favourite plane of all time, Cobi did not disappoint like mark said great piece of kit again. It's a must have. Quality." ~ Chris
The P-51 'Mustang' was an American plane used in World War II and the Korean War. It was a long-range, single-seat fighter and fighter-bomber. It was designed in 1940 by North American Aviation (NAA) in response to a requirement of the British Purchasing Commission. A prototype was rolled out and first flew in late 1940. It was flown operationally by the Royal Air Force as a tactical reconnaissance aircraft and fighter-bomber. When a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine was added, the altitude tolerance was enhanced enough for it to compete with the Luftwaffe's fighters. The P-51D version was one of the best fighters of its age, armed with six .50 calibre (12.7 mm) M2/AN Browning machine guns and having a top speed of 700 kph and a maximum flight level of 12,800 meters. About 16,000 were manufactured by the end of the war.

- 1 figure – USAF pilot
- Bodywork with pad printing
- Block stand with printed name of the plane
- Easy-to-follow instruction manual
- Compatible with LEGO and other leading brands of construction blocks

Photo shoot on the Gornergrat (3089 m – 10,135 ft.) overlooking Zermatt, Switzerland. Shannon and Eric contacted me by e-mail from the USA. We chose a beautiful day with clear blue skies. Clouds did arrive in the afternoon but we had finished for the day.
Zermatt is an awesome place to visit with mountains, glaciers and plenty of trails down the mountains back to Zermatt. Spectacular views featuring the icon Matterhorn mountain. It is possible to ski on the glaciers during the summer months.
This is one of my favorite places to visit. Normally it is best to have the photo shoot in the morning or early or late in the year. It's really difficult to plan ahead beacause of the weather and climate changes.
"Thank you! I really appreciate all the pictures and time you spent!" – Shannon & Eric.

First of all, thanks for V-REP it has been very helpful in debugging problems I had with real world robots!
I installed the new version of V-REP and then noticed the syntax highlighting colors of the text editor changed (reverted back to the defaults).
I see that usrset.txt is stored in the "Program Files" folder, though configuration files should really be in %APPDATA%.
This is probably also the reason why the settings were overwritten and all color settings lost.
Could that be changed?
Ideally, there would be a way to configure the colors within V-REP directly, it's pretty tedious and requires many restarts (to see the changes in effect) until the right colors are set.

About Us
Steve Taylor – The Mammoth Snowman:
Began skiing at Mammoth Mountain in 1969, he got his first Mammoth season pass in 1985 and ripped off 86 days while being home-based in La Canada.
Steve made the move north with his wife Jennifer from La Canada full time in 1990 to be closer to the slopes and run his father's business in one of Mammoth's first home-based business.
Steve was one of the first work from home ski bums in ski country. Dad's customers were all in Southern California, with Fax, 800 Toll-Free Lines and the new internet it was a dream come true. You could ski every day and still make a great none resort income.
Over the last 30+ years, Snowman has spent countless hours studying and learning about mammoth mountain weather and snow conditions first hand.
Snowman started blogging this information back in 1990 on the old Mammoth BBS system, then the RSN Forums and then on to MammothSnowman.com in 2004 with his Video & Photo Blog reports. (No YouTube back then)
"I started the website because I wanted to get skiers from the Los Angeles area excited about coming up so I wouldn't have to ski alone," Steve explained. "Now I have 300,000+ new friends, thanks to MammothSnowman.com."
Snowman still has his videos and photos featured on TV Stations here in Mammoth and Bishop, along with KTLA, ABC, CBS. FOX and NBC News outlets local and nationwide.
Jennifer Taylor – CFO – Mrs. Snowman
Jennie helps out by running our office in Bishop. She is overseeing web site development, accounting and helping edit our trip reports and adventure stories.
It takes a lot of work to make all this content come alive and Jennie is helping make it happen.
She also helps keep the dream alive here at MammothSnowman.com.
Ted Schlaepfer – CCM – The Mammoth Weather Guy
We met The Weather Guy about 10 years ago on the Mammoth Mountain Forum. He checked out MammothSnowman.com and offered to do a Powder Forecast.
Those forecasts are now responsible for many people getting multiple powder days on Mammoth Mountain over the years. People email us saying they plan their days off around The Mammoth Weather Guy Powder Forecasts.
Ted's Bio: Always fascinated with the weather, skiing was just a natural extension of my love for snow and rain. I started skiing at age 5, first discovered Mammoth in 1979 as a youth, and have been a regular visitor since the late 80s.
Here is Ted's Powder and Forecast Page – Check it out.
Bob Sweigart – In House Music – Bob has now been with MammothSnowman.com since 2005.
His music has played upfront and in the background, in over half the videos we have put out on the internet and on TV.
From the Discover Mammoth Today Show to the Snowman's Mammoth Mountain Video Snow Report & Stoke Video's, Bob leads the way with his music.
You can check out more of Bob's Tunes at his web page at Riff World.
Mammoth Snowman Community – We have built a Private Facebook Group of 12,000 people.
With this size of a tight group of mostly season pass holders, we have somebody to report back on conditions daily.
The live road reports we get are also a major help as they come in real time not delayed like the gov web sites.
If you're on Facebook you can check out the private group at this link.
PS: We saw some review saying our kids run this web site, last time I checked none of them are involved. Just the people on this page.

"Growing your own tomatoes in a pot," says Spring Gillard, "or having a worm bin on your balcony is a political act, as much as a symbol of independence as Gandhi's spinning wheel." As editor of Compost Hotline News, an advice service that started on the City Farmer website in 1996, Spring Gillard gathered her diary entries with essays on city farming for Diary of a Compost Hotline Operator (New Society $22.95), complete with a cast of characters crazed by the gardening bug. She lives in Vancouver, having graduated from the University of Victoria with a major in French and linguistics. 0-86571-492-4

Diary of a Compost Hotline Operator
Press Release
By Spring Gillard
I have a very strange job. I'm the Compost Hotline Operator at City Farmer's Compost Demonstration Garden in Vancouver, Canada. City Farmer is a non-profit society, founded in 1978 to promote urban agriculture. The society is unique in Canada for promoting food gardening and environmental awareness in a variety of urban settings. City Farmer is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year. In honor of our quarter century, we are building a cob garden shed, revamping our waterwise garden and throwing a couple of big bashes. Oh yeah, and my book Diary of a Compost Hotline Operator, Edible Essays on City Farming will be released this fall too by New Society Publishers. (Shameless self-promotion to follow).
For twelve years now, I have been answering compost crisis calls. Can I feed my worms rotten food or will it make them sick to their stomachs? Is incense ok in my compost bin? In addition to talking callers through their crises from my tiny greenhouse office, I teach "wormshops" and grass classes and record the antics of the silly farmers I work with.
In the fall of 1996, I began diarizing the day-to-day happenings at the garden for City Farmer's web site: Urban Agriculture Notes (www.cityfarmer.org). The web site receives over 10,000 hits a day; and the Diary has been one of the favorite stops. The web entries then expanded and evolved into a series of first person essays, many of which were subsequently published in the Vancouver Sun, Organic Gardening magazine, the Globe and Mail and other publications. One day I was leafing through my essays and realized I had enough for a book - and that's how the book version of the Diary was born.
This collection of edible (short, easy to digest) essays on my experiences in the field of urban agriculture is meant to educate and entertain. As you follow the antics of the crazy cast of characters at the City Farmer garden, I hope you will also learn something about composting, natural lawn care, food gardening and of course lust and love in the garden. If you haven�?t already got your own garden, maybe you will be inspired to plant one. There is a lot of information packed in around the essays and lists of contacts and resources to get you started or to enhance what you already know.
Gardening is now the nation's most ardent pastime with composting as its steadfast companion.The Composting Council of Canada estimates that over 1.2 million people are composting in their back yards. Encouraged by subsidized compost bin programs across the country, that number grows daily as does the need for current information on composting, natural lawn care, organic and waterwise gardening methods; all topics which fall under the urban agriculture umbrella.
Urban agriculture or city farming is an increasingly popular subject both locally and internationally. In the developed world, more and more people are concerned about their health and the safety of their food and prefer to grow at least some of their own fruit and vegetables. In the developing world, urban agriculture has provided a means of survival; my essay entitled The People's Plots in Cuba gives a slice of the Cuban story.
One of the lines I use in the "wormshops" I teach at the garden is: "At City Farmer, we believe that if everyone looked after their own back yard, the world would be a very different place." At work and in my personal life, I believe in setting an example and offering people solutions, even if they are small acts, like putting a worm bin on a balcony. It's why I felt so sympatico with my publisher, New Society. I was attracted to their mandate which is to help "build ecological sustainability and a just society" and their interest in nonviolent action. We're a very good fit.
So, sure I think that the Diary would be a nice gift book for your green-thumbed friends. But I believe urban agriculture appeals to the non-gardener too, anyone looking for practical steps they can take in their own backyard and home to create a healthier environment for themselves and their families.

BEIJING — North Korea's envoy to disarmament talks said Thursday that Pyongyang insists on retaining the right to "peaceful nuclear activities" — a condition that other delegates say has deadlocked the talks.
"We are for denuclearizing, but we also want to possess the right to peaceful nuclear activities," said Kim Kye Gwan, a North Korean vice foreign minister. "Every country in the world has the right to peaceful nuclear activities.
"As you know, only one country is opposing that," Kim said, apparently referring to the United States.
Kim spoke briefly to reporters outside the North Korean Embassy in Beijing after a 10th day of talks.
Nations blame North for delays
Other delegates say North Korea's refusal to commit to giving up all nuclear programs — even those that it says are for peaceful use — has brought the six-nation talks to a standstill.
China said diplomats would meet again Friday.
Late Thursday, all six head delegates held a rare nighttime meeting to try to resolve the impasse.
Diplomats from China, the host, asked whether they wanted to continue this round of talks, and all agreed, said the chief U.S. envoy, Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill.
"We all felt duty-bound to continue, because I think there is a feeling that we have taken this further than we ever have in the past," Hill said.
"We'd like to see if we can get to an agreement, and we're not there yet. No one is quite ready to say we can't get there."
Koreas, U.S. meet to discuss nuclear future
Earlier Thursday, North Korea, South Korea and the United States met to seek consensus on the statement of principles for eliminating the North's nuclear ambitions. Hill said it was the first such three-way meeting.
North Korea has refused to sign an agreement endorsed by the other five countries trying to persuade the hard-line regime to disarm.
Seoul's top envoy, Deputy Foreign Minister Song Min-soon, said North Korea "clarified its position" on the latest draft, but he would not elaborate.
Dismissing talk of possible failure, the Chinese government said the fact that discussions were continuing was a positive sign.
"We've made progress in that we've been able to deepen mutual understanding. That in itself is progress, and there has been no breakdown in the talks," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said.
Three previous rounds of six-nation talks in Beijing since 2003 have failed to bridge differences.
Pyongyang trying to alter agreement
The North wants to limit the agreement to mentioning only its nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons program, which the United States has refused to accept, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported, citing unnamed South Korean officials.
Earlier Thursday, Hill said North Korea must specify exactly what it would dismantle under the nuclear agreement. He has said any agreement must include eliminating any nuclear programs that could possibly be diverted for weapons use.
The North "has got to make one very basic decision," Hill said, referring to whether Pyongyang would sign the two-page document.
"It's not easy for them. I don't want to pressure them. But they've got to be able to do it. We cannot have a situation where (North Korea) pretends to abandon their nuclear program and we pretend to believe them," he said.
"We need to have a situation where we know precisely what they have agreed to do, exactly what they have agreed to abandon."
Agreement violated under Clinton
The Clinton administration agreed to help build two nuclear reactors in North Korea to generate electricity under a 1994 deal for the communist nation to halt its atomic weapons development.
That project stalled after U.S. officials said in late 2002 that the North admitted violating the agreement by launching a secret uranium enrichment program, sparking the latest nuclear standoff.
The Bush administration has said it does not want to repeat previous American mistakes and has criticized the earlier reactor project.
Japan's government said Thursday the success of the talks hinged on Pyongyang.
"We have not seen sufficient progress," Chief Cabinet Secretary Hiroyuki Hosoda said in Tokyo. "Whether or not we can reach an agreement ... depends on North Korea's efforts."
Kim, the North Korean envoy, insisted Tuesday that the hard-line regime will not give up its atomic weapons program until Washington withdraws what it believes are threats to its security. Some 32,500 U.S. troops are based in South Korea, but Washington has denied it has any intention of invading to end the nuclear standoff.
The head of Russia's delegation, Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Alexeyev, returned Thursday to Beijing to rejoin the talks, the Russian Embassy said. He left Saturday for Moscow.

This release was issued under a previous government.
The Government of Alberta is investing nearly $200 million in improvement projects along Highway 40 between the Yellowhead Highway and Grande Prairie that will enhance travel for residents and industries in northwestern Alberta, including the forestry, oil and gas and tourism sectors.
The investment will finance 18 highway infrastructure projects over the next three years, including:
- A total of 180 kilometres of highway improvements
- Grade widening, repaving, safety rest areas, new climbing lanes and culvert repairs
- Two bridge replacements in the Grande Cache area (crossing the Smoky and Berland rivers)
These changes will help make life better for the people who work and live in northwestern Alberta by improving highway safety, strengthening market access and upgrading connections between Hinton, Grande Cache and Grande Prairie. Altogether, these highway infrastructure projects are expected to support more than 500 jobs in the construction sector over three years.
"Our government's investment in these critical projects along Highway 40 supports the transportation network Albertans rely on every day. These highway improvements will continue to ensure this region has the infrastructure needed to allow for the safe, efficient movement of goods and people. Our investment sends a clear signal that this region continues to be open for business."
"Ledcor congratulates the Alberta government on its investment in additional road improvements for Highway 40. We especially welcome the enhancements to driver safety through these upgrades between Hinton, Grande Cache and Grande Prairie, an area which has experienced steady traffic growth in recent years."
"We truly value and appreciate the importance this government is placing on investment in transportation infrastructure. Safe, efficient, well-maintained highways and roads make life better for all Albertans and support strong and vibrant communities. We are very proud to serve Albertans and we are proud to be working with the Alberta government."
The 18 projects on Highway 40 are part of the province's Three-Year Provincial Construction Program (2017-2020) that was released with Budget 2017. Construction on some of the projects has already begun. Others are schedule to begin during upcoming construction seasons.

Notes: You can really serve this with any fruit that you would like. We also served this with cinnamon pita chips and it was fantastic. Be sure to soften the cream cheese first and then beat it until smooth before adding the marshmallow creme, yogurt, and raspberries in order to avoid lumps. This was so, so good.

Notes: Yummy bacon dip...mmmm.
Sun-dried Tomato and Cannellini Bean Dip
2 3/4 cups canned cannellini beans, drained
8 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 tbsp. chopped rosemary leaves
4 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1/2 cup water
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Place beans, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, rosemary, oil, vinegar, and water in a food processor or blender; pulse to smooth puree.
If necessary, adjust the consistency by gradually adding more water, 1 tbsp. at a time.
Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Serve chilled.
Recipe Notes: Make dip up to 3 days in advance. Cover and refrigerate. Cannellini are slender, ivory white Italian beans. Their creamy texture and their ability to absorb strong, aromatic flavors makes them ideal for dips. If you cannot find a source for cannellini beans, any canned white bean will make an excellent substitute.
Source: MSN. You can find it here.
Notes: This makes a lot, but it refrigerates well and leftovers are always great. This is very similar to hummus.
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (15 ounce) can chili without beans
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, drained
In a medium, microwave safe bowl, mix cream cheese, chili without beans, and diced tomatoes with green chili peppers.
Microwave cream cheese mixture on high 1 minute. Remove from microwave, stir, and repeat until the mixture is hot and thoroughly blended.

Wednesday, September 26, 2018 at 7:00:00 PM Bier Station 120 East Gregory Boulevard, Kansas City,
We're having a social get-together to enjoy local beer and conversation on Wed., Sept. 26. We will be upstairs at Bier Station at 120 E. Gregory Blvd at 7:00pm!
Come one, come all.
This Meetup is not a formal training or help session... It is literally at a bar for the purpose of consuming beverages with conversation and networking. If you have questions or topics you would like to discuss, bring them along and brainstorm with other WordPress geeks - but leave that laptop at home. This isn't the right event for help diving into the dashboard or backend.
Be ready to move around and mingle... and please be prepared to purchase a beverage or a bite. We want the bars and breweries to enjoy our visits. We'll have two large tables reserved upstairs. There is garden-style serving, so you can order food to be delivered at the table, with drinks available to order down at the bar.
Also, come ready to introduce yourself to other WordPress enthusiasts, discuss your website and share your wisdom!

Things Dont Always Work To Plan On Recent
Things don't always work to plan!
On recent news that Land Rover are to cease production of the famous vehicle in 2014, the team here at Chase were even more inspired to bring the vintage Landrover up to London for Cocktail Week.
On leaving the distillery a loud bang was heard rattling through the farm yard and the journey had to stop there, the exhaust had blown. Back in London the tasting had to go ahead and a phone call to Saville row tailors Cad & the Dandy was made. Their Landrover swiftly came to Earlham St in 7 dials and the tasting began. Guests enjoyed a bespoke tasting though the range and a chance to meet James Chase and one of the distillers, Alex Davies.
We look forward to taking part again next year and with a little but more luck driving the vintage Landrover!

Seafood is caught in Canada using a variety of fishing gear. Some are known to be harmful to the health of the ocean because they remove species indiscriminately and damage habitat.
Up to 10.3 million tonnes of sea life is unintentionally caught each year around the world, captured in nets, lines and other gear. Bycatch — the incidental capture of non-target fish — is a destructive and wasteful practice that harms many species. This includes those with threatened and endangered populations like sea birds, sharks, sea turtles, whales and fish.
A recent report from Oceana Canada analyzed bycatch in Canada and found that three gear types are associated with higher amounts of bycatch: trawls, longlines and dredges. Here's some more information on each gear type, and other fishing methods you can enquire about to make more eco-friendly choices when seafood shopping.
Bottom trawling. This is one of the most destructive and least selective methods of fishing. It involves dragging weighted nets across the sea floor. These are often enormous and capture almost everything in their path, including vulnerable habitat. Many commercial species that are targeted by trawls can be fished using other methods that are less destructive to habitat.
Longlines. These are extremely long fishing lines with thousands of individual baited hooks branching off the main lines. They can extend more than 80 kilometres and be used either along the seafloor or closer to the surface, depending on the species being targeted. If a bird or other animal becomes hooked, it is often seriously injured or dead by the time the gear is retrieved.
Using circle hooks on longlines can reduce bycatch of turtles, while attaching streamers to lines can reduce bird bycatch. Using harpoons, hand lines, greenstick or buoy gear instead of long lines are more sustainable options that reduce bycatch.
Dredges. These are essentially large steel cages on skis that are dragged across the ocean floor. Regular dredges have large metal teeth that dig into the seafloor to lift their catch up into the basket. Hydraulic dredges shoot high-powered jets of water into the sediment to expose and scoop up the species they're targeting. This causes changes to the sediment and associated marine life.
In shallow water, diving or using rakes, shovels, clam tubes and tongs can reduce seafloor damage. Because there are no economically viable alternatives in deeper water, habitat protection measures are important.

Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer and her Republican opponent Carly Fiorina will square off Wednesday night in the only debate scheduled so far in a race that polls show is a toss up between the two women.
The hour-long event at St. Mary's College in Moraga begins at 7 p.m. It will be televised on CBS affiliates up and down the state, including on KTTV in Los Angeles. The debate is being sponsored by the San Francisco Chronicle and KQED public radio and will be streamed live on both sponsors' web sites. C-Span is also televising the forum.
Come back to Total Buzz during and after the debate to comment on how the candidates did.
Boxer is seeking her third term and this is Fiorina's first run at elective office. The two disagree on almost every issue and both are expected to be aggressive and combative. So far this is the only debate that Boxer has agreed to.
Boxer is pro abortion rights, supports same-sex marriage, opposes off-shore drilling, voted for President Barack Obama's stimulus package and extensions of unemplolyment benefits and voted for health reform.
Fiorina is anti-abortion, except in case of rape, incest and life of the mother. She supports civil unions but opposes same-sex marriage. Fiorina would have voted against the stimulus package and health reform and she has said she opposes off-shore drilling but would leave the decision up to individual states.

Spot lumber prices, as reported by the industry publication Random Lengths, headed lower in the final months of 2014 before tumbling in the first 4months of 2015. At the end of April, spot spruce pine fir (S-P-F) 2×4 #2&Btr mill prices stood at $249 per thousand board feet (mbf). Last year in April, this figure was $367/mbf.
The volatility in lumber prices can be traced back to changes in the demand and supply drivers. On the demand side, new home construction continues to present its unpredictable trend. After dipping 7.6% in quarter-over-quarter (q/q) terms in the first quarter because of weather conditions, total US housing starts are expected to grow 13.4% q/q in the second quarter. According to the Commerce Department, US housing starts advanced 22.2% in April and contracted 11.1% in May in month-over-month terms.
Despite the volatility, the trend is moving in the right direction, which will support lumber prices in the near term. Looking at the demand from overseas, one can note the exchange rate effects as well as dwindling demand from China and Japan. While the US exports to China and Japan fell sizably in the first 3 months of the year, Canada was able to increase its exports due to better exchange rate conditions. Nevertheless, falling Chinese imports has been another demand factor that has helped pull down prices since the beginning of the year.
Throughout the first quarter and so far into the second quarter, we have seen slowing US lumber production paralleling the slower housing-market recovery. Despite the decreasing production, US total lumber supply increased modestly in the first quarter with the surge in imports and a contraction in exports. Because of tumbling prices in the first quarter, there have been several reports of temporarily idled mills on the West Coast and US production levels slowed down. As the price recovers in the second quarter, production will also begin to increase in the United States, making up for the slower imports.

As a Chinese mom whose first language was French (having grown up in Paris) with two children who are learning Spanish in preschool, I'm a huge fan of providing my children multi-cultural views through learning different languages. Therefore, I was excited to hear about Petit Zarafa, the first play-based, multi-language learning membership program for preschoolers ages 2 and up.
Petit Zarafa aims to provide a rich play-based curriculum focused on art, cooking, nature, music, imaginary play, and numbers and letters in several different languages.

Five languages will initially be offered with more to come (French, English, Arabic, Chinese and Spanish).
Members will receive monthly lessons rich in multi-media such as videos and sound clips, in addition to template downloads, books and recommendations, as well as up to 30 play-bases activities per month.
The team behind Petit Zarafa are the founders of Zid Zid Kids (of which we're big fans of and have featured before), which is a Moroccan based company offering global handmade collections of toys and accessories for children. So you can be assured that the team is well placed and knowledge to offer this unique multi-cultural educational experience for kids.
Petit Zarafa has currently launched an Indiegogo campaign to help fund its mission with a goal of raising $20,000, with a wide array of contributions and rewards set in place.

The J Family {Utah County Photographer}
This summer, my family had a family reunion up in West Yellowstone. I knew this would be an awesome time to do some family portraits, and I had several willing families who wanted some portraits done. This is my cousin and his family and we had so much fun! They will be adding a little boy to their family early next year and hopefully I will be able to do some newborn portraits of him too!
