from the bb desk
Guys, gals, and non-binary pals: a gynaecologist agreed with me this week that the majority of gynaecological disorders stem from gendered violence including rape culture, so I'm riding real high. Also, our new issue, FOOD/LAND, started slowly being born! So far we have published our editorial note; a piece on resistance to gentrification and colonialism in Toronto, an open letter about how white people's predilection for butter chicken is bullshit, a graphic essay on a settler woman reading the hunger in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's findings, and a meditation on going beyond the binary of veganism/carnivorism to build ethical relations with food. Watch our Facebook and Twitter for new articles as they're released in the coming weeks!
Okay. The Liberal government. Trudeau answering "because it's 2015" was not particularly thrilling, for these reasons. Also, I kind of felt that "because it's 2015" is like "well, I in my high and mighty white man power have decided that women have had enough, so I am graciously bestowing upon them An Opportunity"—as if he's paternally decided that like, we've been in time-out long enough and are allowed to come and play again? YOU'RE NOT MY DAD. Also, like, gender parity rah rah, but—remember that there are more genders than dude and lady please and thank you? The CBC hosted a panel on affirmative action in the cabinet, where Jonathan Kay demonstrated that he is literally a baby, I'm team Scaachi, Canada is a settler state with a white dad in charge of it, I'm doing slightly better than I was on election night but I'm far from creaming myself with joy about parliament.
Here is an explanation of why JT was right not to appoint an First Nations minister of Indigenous affairs.
Uber freaks me out (I have never taken an Uber) and this piece does a great job of articulating some of the hesitation I feel about it.
I rage hard about this a lot; don't really understand why we needed a fat-antagonistic comparison to make the point though.
Saying "some white people" only makes it easier for an individual to say "that's not me" and deflect. They can tell themselves "I have Black friends." They can tell themselves "I don't say the N-word." … they can decide that the problem is somewhere "over there." Racism is never "me." It's never their friends or family. As long as white Americans are comfortable deflecting, white supremacy remains strong in this country.
I really like this advice column about the politicality of depression and finding ethical ways of sourcing domestic labour.
This week in masculinity: white men are unimpressive; "it will take you far too long to see is how easy it is to project every bit of shame and anxiety you have about yourself, your body, and your inability to love onto anyone who tries to love you"; Arctic FOXY, a NWT-based sex education collective for gals, is starting to hold feedback-seeking events in the name of creating programming for young dudes. Did you know that they won A MILLION DOLLARS last year, incredible, so powerful, keep up the great work!
Two former TransCanada employees have an explanation for why pipelines sometimes, you know, just explode.
Which of your favourite websites have money and from where? An addendum: GUTS has no money from anybody, dude millionaires or not. You can donate if you are able!
"Do you think about mortality more often because of your line of work? Why can't I bring my partner into the OR with me, but the doctor can bring all of his med students? Consider that it is my cunt."
Shout everything that Charlotte Shane writes from the rooftops:
Being good at sex means being attentive and present to what the person you're with enjoys right then, in that mood, on that day. You won't find it detailed in a book, and it has nothing to do with perfecting a wrist motion or hip swivel. It means being creative and open and inventive and humble. You can't do it if you're too ashamed of your body to focus on anything else.
Such a great essay on the economics of trapping in the Northwest Territories and the impact that colonialism continues to have on Indigenous people in fur industries.
I care very deeply about your sexual health. In honour of this care, please see Autostraddle's recent Big Queer Guide to IUDs.
Intrauterine Devices, aka IUDs, are all the rage these days for cis women in need of birth control. Many queer cis women, trans men or genderqueer folks might be interested in getting an IUD, either for contraceptive purposes or to take advantage of side effects, but often have questions that they are uncomfortable asking their doctor. Sometimes there are questions that just don't get answered in the onslaught of purple and teal pamphlets and commercials featuring women frolicking through flower-filled meadows.
Remember: YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SENSITIVE AND CONSCIENTIOUS CARE.
Here are some very important vines. Have a great week, team. xo

As the sun sets on another summer in the Ocean State, a Superior Court judge has ruled that next summers' beach won't be quite as wide. The case involved a scenario all too familiar—and generally all too confusing for beachgoers in New England—signs pounded into open stretches of beach reading, "Private Beach – No Trespassing".

Bugs, Bugs and even more bugsMar 182017
The production process did not work at all. A major factor was that the program language I am using did not work well wit array values in the If statements. Because of this everything I wrote did not work even though logically it should work. Now that I am passing values true to normal variables the if statements are working correctly. This weekend I will finish of the production process now that I have found a way to get it to work. Expect a new version at the end of the weekend.

A daily meditation practice leads to a calmer, more peaceful and focused mind, and spiritual self-cultivation. But how can we fit it into our busy lives? With so many options, not enough time, and the challenges that arise when we attempt to meditate, where does one start?
Passage Meditation is a practical approach that fits naturally into any faith, philosophy, or lifestyle, enabling us to bring universal ideals into daily life. In this method we choose a short spiritual text, or passage, that embodies our highest ideals, memorize it, and then go through the words slowly, silently, and with as much concentration as possible—bringing our attention back to the words whenever our mind wanders.
How can such a simple exercise lead to life-changing transformation? Meditation brings two major benefits. It gradually builds the precious capacity to place our attention wherever we choose—the key some say to love and loyalty as well as genius. Second, we begin to resemble and actually become whatever we give our attention to. As the inspired words from the great spiritual traditions of the world slowly come to life in us, they bring with them quiet joy, the capacity to face challenges squarely, and a deep sense of fulfillment.
If you've never been able to commit to a daily meditation practice, or are curious to learn a way to live in accordance with your highest values, this course is for you!
About the instructors
Leo Chan's first exposure to the power and insight of meditation occurred 13 years ago during a ten day silent retreat in Thailand. Although he maintained an interest in meditation, he was never able to sustain a daily practice until discovering Passage Meditation. He has now been practicing daily for 1.5 years and is excited to share the benefits of single-pointed focus, slowing down and reinforcing one's own highest ideals, whatever they may be. Leo has a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science and works for Amazon.
David Shadbolt started meditating in the 1980s and in 1989 attended silent meditation retreats in Thailand and Nepal, with subsequent retreats in England and North America. He discovered Passage Meditation almost 10 years ago, which he practises daily, having finally found the practice he'd been searching for. He currently facilitates the Orchard Recovery Centre's Monday meditation/mindfulness class.

Inspired by a conversation with my artist friend Julie Hamilton I pulled some Word Art I made back in 2012 for today's post. I find it funny that many conversations this week with new friends and old friends we talked about dreams, opportunity, career changes and second careers about to blossom, just great fantastic stuff just as it was back in 2012.
I dedicate this Word Path to them today.
I dedicate this Word Path to them today.
We often say someday this, someday that, that someday never comes but it sure has a long list!.
I believe that someday is today, today offers powerful change.
Even if it is in changing your thinking, it is a start. Don't wait, lead the direction of your dreams.
Even if it is in changing your thinking, it is a start. Don't wait, lead the direction of your dreams.
Have confidence in your enthusiasm for them. Many times that is all it takes to change good to great. Set the course and watch for what intersections and paths crossing have to say or are trying to make you see.
Everyone has a word path. For me one word leads to another, linked by thought first then by pen and paint.
Word Paths have been a Friday feature showcasing possibilities in written words, creative process and artistic pieces from the beginning of my blog. You can go here, to my first post on this project and see how it all started.

Anyway, quite a while ago, when I decided to get serious about sewing, she had offered to send me some of her mother's old patterns, but I had completely forgotten about it. You should have been there to hear the SQUEEEEEE when I opened the box to find dozens of patterns from the 70s, 80s and early 90s.
Did you collect stickers when you were a kid? Well, I did, and after a particularly good haul from Sandylion or a really diverse bunch from Hallmark, I'd come home and spread them all over the floor and touch them all as if they were rare treasures needing study and classification. I know for a fact that there's at least one reader that remembers this because she was there.
ANYWAY, you'll love the patterns too, I hope. What's interesting is that apart from the styling, most of the lines are similar if not the same ass what you see now, and the pieces are really good. But, really folks, let's face that a LOT of the styling is dead on hilarious, even though I wore tons of it - and can't wait to make some of it again!
|...more pile.....
|...rest of the pile...
Isn't that amazing? I have to admit I was over-freaking-whelmed with delight!
Patterns I Think are Beautiful
|I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the backdrop for the patterns. This was created by my brother, Kenneth, who is a master quilt-maker. Isn't it gorgeous?
|Beautiful! I love dress C the most, as the back of the dress falls from pleated gatherings. This is only from 1999. so even though it is only 12 years old, it manages to be classic instead of trendy. I would make this for a special event.

Old New Borrowed Blue #13: M.E.
Perhaps I should not assume that everyone is as obsessed with Missy Elliott's return as I am, but considering her new video for WTF (WHERE THEY FROM) basically broke the internet yesterday, I know I'm not the only one. So, for those of you who cannot get enough of M.E., I've compiled a few of her outstanding tracks and videos for your enjoyment and consumption. You may also want to check out some of my archived Video Stars top 10 lists (that admittedly need some updating) in which Missy made a few appearances. And now for just a few more of M.E.'s memorable multimedia masterpieces.
Something Old:
At first I considered taking "old" as literally as possible, and sharing something from Missy's girl group days. My own personal intro to Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott's skill and style was on the Dangerous Minds OST, but since Sista never had a video for IT'S ALRIGHT, I'll stick with the now iconic video from 1997, THE RAIN featuring Hype Williams' favourite fish-eye lens.
Something New:
If only Missy's collaboration with Janet Jackson on BURNITUP! had a video. While we wait for that (and hopefully a new album!?) I am quite sure that WTF (WHERE THEY FROM) - with all of its personality and energy - will more than suffice (even if the whole thing would benefit from keeping Pharrell behind the soundboard and away from the microphone... ).
Something Borrowed
This was tricky. For one, the most obvious sample is the fabulous WE RUN THIS, borderline covering APACHE. Secondly the samples that make up WORK IT are subtle genius, not to mention the video is one of her all time greatest. Maybe I'll bring it up here on another day. And then there's everyone who ever covered GET UR FREAK ON, highlighting another one of Missy's more brilliant and memorable videos. Instead I've picked the video for I'M REALLY HOT, which has some amazing dance-off style choreography. At around the 3:00 minute mark, the video version turns into a bit of a remix of itself, sampling this catchy jazzy piano line used in Soho's HOT MUSIC (JAZZY MIX).
Although officially sampled from Soho's mix, the bar of piano is originally lifted from a Marcus Roberts' solo on Wynton Marsalis track, SKAIN'S DOMAIN from his 1986 album, J Mood. We've only heard about a bar's worth so far, and these guys swing hard. The whole thing is definitely worth a listen if you're up for a break from the visuals.
Something Blue
Generally Missy supplies us with party anthems, but there are a couple tracks where she slows it down. The woman has definitely mourned her fair share of friends and colleagues, which has been the inspiration for TAKE AWAY and even the video intro for PASS THAT DUTCH. But TEARY EYED is a breakup song that reminds us of Missy's serious side and vocal abilities, even if it leaves you wanting to click another link for a bit more rap.
What are your favourite Missy videos?

Large Renovations
Make Your Home a Dream Home
Along with new homes, we specialize in custom renovations, whether that involves working within the existing footprint of your home or adding on.
Either way, we always try to make the most of the existing space. You might be surprised to learn how much larger a home can look when a layout that doesn't work is reconfigured. By opening up walls and rearranging the space, we can make the entire home look larger without breaking through the walls. If you've ever seen the HGTV show Property Brothers, you know exactly what we mean.
We do all types and sizes of renovations, and everyone's definition of what constitutes a "large" renovation is different. A kitchen renovation feels pretty large when it disrupts your daily life. We can renovate just one room or the whole home, and we always do our best to make the process as painless as possible for you.
If you do need extra space, we'll work closely with you to figure out the best type, size and placement of an addition. This type of addition that's best depends on your individual needs. Are you looking for more space for the family to hang out or master suite that can be a private retreat? Or do you simply need more square footage? As with all of our projects, we'll involve you in the design process from day one.

Set and costume design for contemporary dance. Candoco Dance Company. Queen Elizabeth Hall. London, South Bank Centre.
The music by iconic composer Scott Walker, especially commissioned by choreographer Rafael Bonachela for this performance, sets the rhythm for the dance movements. The set and costumes reinforce the notion of a dysfunctional semi-abstract ballroom. The set composed of chairs, a chandelier and of strong light features, all especially designed for the piece, offers a dramatic backdrop for the performance.

In the first meeting between the new leaders of Roman Catholic and Anglican churches, the Pope praised the Most Rev Justin Welby for promoting "Christian values".
The two leaders, who were enthroned within days of each other in March, also spoke of a new period of closer co-operation between the two churches after centuries of "pain".
Archbishop Welby, who although from the evangelical wing of the Church of England is heavily influenced by Catholic teaching, spoke of feeling "at home" in the Vatican.
The Pope spoke of "longing for" unity between the two churches, which have been formally separated since Tudor times.
And he offered an olive branch to the Church of England over his predecessor Pope Benedict's decision to set up the Ordinariate, the special branch of the Catholic Church for disaffected Anglicans.
He publicly thanked the Church of England for its efforts to "understand" the move and said he hoped it would mean Anglican liturgy, including elements of the Book of Common Prayer, would be more widely known and used by Catholics around the world.
Following a meeting in which the two men discussed their shared interests in combating poverty, the Pope spoke out against the way he said the poor were often "abandoned to the laws of an economy that seems at times to treat people as mere consumers".
The meeting comes as Archbishop Welby grapples with differing views within the Church of England over how to respond to the Government's same-sex marriage bill.
Last week the Archbishop spoke strongly in the House of Lords against the bill. But only 24 hours later the Church of England announced that, in light of large majorities in both houses of parliament, bishops in the Lords would no longer attempt to block gay marriage in principle.
Joined by the leader of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, the Archbishop of Westminster the Most Rev Vincent Nichols, the Pope listed areas of close co-operation between the two churches.
In a reference to Archbishop Welby's speech in the Lords on gay marriage he said: "Particularly important among these is our witness to the reference to God and the promotion of Christian values in a world that seems at times to call into question some of the foundations of society, such as respect for the sacredness of human life or the importance of the institution of the family built on marriage, a value that you yourself have had occasion to recall recently."
Archbishop Welby said afterwards: "Our experience in the UK with Archbishop Vincent and in our conversation today with the Pope is that we are absolutely at one on issues and equally we are at one in our condemniation of homophobic behaviour."
He added: "My speech was forthright as can be, the Pope was kind enough to say said he has read it."
In their meeting the two leaders also discussed the fallout from Pope Benedict's surprise announcement in 2009 of his plans to set up the Ordinariate.
The move was seen at the time as major snub to the Church of England and the then Archbishop Rowan Williams, setting back decades of work to bring the two churches more closely together.
Pope Francis, who was Archbishop of Buenos Aires at the time, is said to have told his Anglican counterpart in Argentina that the move was "unnecessary".
But in his remarks to Archbishop Welby he said Pope Benedict had been responding to a need and publicly thanked the Church of England for its efforts to "understand" the decision.
"I am sure this will enable the spiritual, liturgical and pastoral traditions that form the Anglican patrimony to be better known and appreciated in the Catholic world," he said.
Archbishop Welby said afterwards that he was "grateful" for the Pope's remarks and said he was struck by the Pope's "extraordniary humanity, on fire with the sprit of Christ."
Wearing a bishop's ring given to his predecessor Archbishop Michael Ramsey by Pope Paul VI in 1966, Archbishop Welby joined Archbisho Nichols to pray at the site of the tomb of St Peter underneath the Vatican. They also stopped to pray at the tomb of Pope John Paul II.
The two archbishops lunched with the Pope at the Vatican residence he has chosen to live in instead of the Papal apartments, eating thinly sliced swordfish, pasta with prawns and tuna steak, followed by semi-freddo and fresh fruit for desert before coffee.
Archbishop Nichols called the lunch "terrific".

Crimeny Christmas I got a weird sunburn on my back, mainly on my shoulder blades, the last day of our trip. How can I get complete coverage with sunblock on my own with a wild toddler? And without any aloe handy my pain never resolved. Lugging my huge backpack and rolling all the luggage on our trip back was incredibly painful. Yech. It still hurts a few days later. WHINE WHINE WHINE.
I was mostly able to keep Jane sunburn-free, although she did get a little pink on her arms and legs some days (I'm expecting more freckles -- signs of sun damage I know!). We did a lot of outside stuff, but we kept inside activities in the mix and I always slathered her with sunscreen. I think her skin took the hit when we would just go outside to walk to a restaurant or store. I wasn't as vigilant then.
When we went to the beach in the morning sun I had her wear a little boy swimsuit (much longer leg coverage) and a long-sleeve rash guard. She looked like a little boy but it definitely helped keep her skin covered. She also is pretty good about wearing her little green sun hat, which is adorable -- just like her!
My precious girl has the most beautiful skin and I want to keep it protected!

Faith Promise Giving
What is Faith Promise?
Metropolitan's Faith Promise is the financial means for our church to expand into the world with the Gospel. Since our first World Missions Conference in 1957, the Faith Promise Fund has been provided by the Lord and above the general church budget through Faith Promise giving. What does Faith Promise mean? Faith Promise requires a commitment. One commits himself to an amount of money and by faith, based on God's promises, trusts Him to be able to meet that commitment.
Is Faith Promise scriptural?
The basis for Faith Promise giving is found in 2 Corinthians 8-9. Verse 3 in Chapter 8 uses the expression "to their power" (their ability) and "beyond their power" (God's ability). This passage is addressing giving within your abilities, such as offerings, and also trusting God to give through you beyond your ability, which is a Faith Promise offering. Faith Promise is simply trusting God for an amount of money which you do not have in order that it might be used specifically for Christ's global cause.
How are Faith Promise gifts used?
Our church directly supports World Missions through Faith Promise giving. Your Faith Promise gifts are used to help support missionaries and organizations world-wide as well as short-term missions. Your Missions Committee prayerfully and carefully selects the career missionaries and projects that will be supported through your Faith Promise giving.
How do I become a sender by giving to Faith Promise missions?
As God provides the finances, simply give! Each month you may designate a specific amount to go to a particular Faith Promise Mission by so indicating on a slip accompanying your check.

The Common Agent Container is a stand-alone Java program that implements a container for Java management applications. This program provides a management infrastructure that is designed for Java Management Extensions (JMX) and Java Dynamic Management Kit (Java DMK) based management functionality. The software is installed by the SUNWcacaort package and resides in the /usr/lib/cacao directory.
Typically, the container is not visible.
However, there are two instances when you might need to interact with the container daemon:
In the event that another application attempts to use a network port that is reserved for the Common Agent Container.
In the event that a certificate store is compromised. If this conflict occurs, you might have to regenerate the Common Agent Container certificate keys.
For information about how to troubleshoot these problems, see Troubleshooting Common Agent Container Problems in the Oracle Solaris OS in System Administration Guide: Advanced Administration.

Hooks is gay. - That's right. This spot never EVER breaks. It's good for looking for sharks teeth and that is it. No reason to come here. Nothing to see here. The water is ugly and dogs poop on the beach. Full of sharks, too. So I wouldn't even come here to paddle. It's best you just move on down to Huge Nuts park and surf there.

comeback - Hooks is back. 2-3 hours before high tide, as per the usual. They haven't dredged in a few years it seems. On a north-east swell that is bigger than 3 ft., this spot magnifies what the report calls for by a few extra feet. Worth checking out, NOT FOR KOOKS. This spot breaks more boards than any other I know in this region. This spot is magic when it hits 8 ft. As for the earlier posting laughing at the 'dina, check your tide report, Barney.

SAY WHAT - anywhere in florida doesn't get the consistent surf of california, hawaii, or any other powerhouse obviously mr. "try cali". In fact, throughout my travels I have found florida to be the most stuckup, localized area I have ever surfed. And yes, I have surfed all the spots from australia, france, california, indonesia, hawaii and even japan mr. try cali. For those of you that care Hooks is no more...dredging by the army corp of engineers has rendered this place extinct. There is still some fun surf to be had about 200 yards south near main beach. The sandbars are starting to work again (for the first time in nearly ten years!) Fernandina does posses the heaviest waves in north florida without a doubt, but you can count on it being about two feet smaller (depending on the swell size) than anywhere else in north florida due to depth of the local waters off-shore. Northern fernandina does have a tendency to be more dominant with barrells than most of the other areas. This place can get mean on a large swell, but c'mon this is florida we are talking about how often do we see a large swell.

For the Monkfish:
6-8 oz Maine monkfish (medallions, 3-4 oz ea)
2 Slices Applewood smoked bacon
1 oz Olive oil
¼ c Fresh tarragon (picked leaves)
¼ c Sun dried cherries
1 oz champagne vinegar

1 oz Whole butter
1 c Variety of local fresh vegetables
Clean and skim the monkfish (fish market can do this for you). Cut two thick medallions each weighing 3 to 4 ounces. Season the fish and wrap with the bacon (secure with skewer). Sear the monkfish (medium-high heat) in the olive oil, for about 1 minute on each side. Place the pan in an oven (350º) for a few more minutes while you arrange the rest of the ingredients. Remove the monkfish from the pan and deglaze with the cherries, vinegar and butter. Add the tarragon. Check the seasoning and serve over the fish and vegetable arrangement.
For the scallop:
1 to 2 Large Scallops
1 T Cooking oil
tt Tri-colored peppercorns, freshly ground
tt Sea salt
½ c Seasonal Herbs and Vegetables
1 ea Fresh lime
Slice scallops thin, horizontally, and arrange on serving platter with seasoning, herbs and vegetables. Super-heat the oil and spoon over the scallops. Serve immediately.
For the oysters from the Damariscotta area of Maine:
4 Local oysters on the half shell
1T Pomegranate seeds (lightly chopped)
1t Fresh Chopped Chives
1t Champagne Vinegar
Pinch Red Sea Salt
Prepare all ingredients except for shucking the oysters. Just before service, shuck the oysters, leaving in the deep shell; do not drain the natural liquor. Sprinkle each oyster with pomegranate seed, chives, vinegar and finish with salt. Light combination of ingredients, big flavors! Serve immediately.

To price a used refrigerator, determine its make and model, examine its condition, research the current new value and look up the prices of other similar used refrigerators. The value of the refrigerator may also vary depending on where it is sold.
To determine the manufacturer and model of the refrigerator, consult an instruction manual or receipt. If neither of those are available, move the refrigerator away from the wall, and look for a tag on the back of the refrigerator. Write down any pertinent information, such as the year it was made and the size of the unit.
Next, examine the refrigerator for damage. Check the drawers, handles and shelves for scratches and dents. Check to see if all of its electronic features, such as an ice maker or water dispenser, work properly. Once you determine the condition of the refrigerator, research what a new unit of the same type costs. You can search for the make and model online or call various retailers for a quote.
The last step is to compare the used refrigerator with similar used refrigerators. Check online classified ads and used appliance retailers. Look for local prices first because they may vary by region. If you are not able to find the exact refrigerator for sale, look at refrigerators made around the same year that are similar in size and features.

I absolutely love commissions! They're a great way to have fun with my fans and deepen their appreciation and understanding of the arts. Here's how the commission process generally works:
- Using the contact form at the bottom of this page, let me know what kind of work you are interested in. For example, a coyote in the sunset. If you have no idea, that's even more fun! I will help you figure it out.
- I will reach out to you so I can get to know you. We can do email, a walk, or whatever you like! Getting to know you will help me make appropriate suggestions for the commissioned work. If the commission is a gift, I will ask about the giftee, such as their interests, and age.
- Once we have settled on the direction of the work, I will send you a draft and/or, a color palette proposal, and a commission contract.
- Delivery! And maybe a coffee?
To give you an understanding of the turn-around times for commissioned work, Brandy required about 1 month and Discernment required about 3 months of work. Please note the differences in size and complexities of both pieces.
The cost of a commissioned piece is generally 30% higher than than similar work listed in my Store, due to the extra time spent on preparations.

A direct writer is an insurance agency that sells directly to the public, instead of having agents with local offices sell insurance packages. It can also refer to the employees and agents working in the insurance company's main office. With no local offices, direct writer insurance companies can only be contacted via mail, Internet/email, phone or fax. Both on the agent level and on the consumer level, there are pros and cons to dealing with direct writer insurance.
The main difference between a direct and local insurance company is how the company sells its insurance to the public. Direct writers deal directly with the public without hiring commission-based agents to run local offices. The only agents hired are direct employees who are paid hourly and may receive a commission bonus depending on the company; they are stationed at main offices. Whenever someone contacts this type of insurance company, he or she will talk to one of these hired agents.
With the lack of public offices and agents, the only way to contact a direct writer insurance company is by mail, phone, Internet/email and fax. For customers, this can be better than going to a local office, because the customer may not enjoy dealing with agents face-to-face. Direct companies also allow the customer to speak with higher-ups immediately if there are any problems or confusion.
For customers who want to speak with an agent directly, seeking out an independent insurance company is the better choice. If the customer needs many changes made to his or her insurance policy, especially on a frequent basis, then independent companies may again be better, because the changes can be made immediately. The prices charged by both types of insurance companies are usually about the same.
There are also pros and cons to working as a direct writer. Independent agents are paid on a commission basis. If the agent sells a high number of insurance packages, he or she will make a decent paycheck. If the agent does not sell anything, he or she will not make any money.
Insurance agents looking for a riskier but potentially higher paying job will typically be independent agents. There is no cap on earnings as long as insurance is sold. Those who are wary of risks and want a steady paycheck usually opt to be direct writers, because the pay is hourly and guaranteed. The amount of insurance sold is usually not figured into the paycheck, so a direct insurance agent may make less than a successful independent agent.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Productive Meetings People want to give their lives to life-changing activities. And so, have you ever notice how often your church volunteers skip church committee and board meetings? Often, it's because they suspect these meetings are more often than not a waste of their time. In this episode Drs. Kris and Bill offer concrete tips […]
Productive Meetings
How to Say "No"
Interviewing the Prospective Pastor
If you're on a search committee or if you've been charged with helping find your church's next pastor, this episode is for you. (This will be helpful for a prospective pastor looking for some insights too.) The search and call process is a lot like courting … and that means everyone puts on their best faces. But how do you get below the surface to find the pastor your church really needs? In this episode, Drs. Kris and Bill de-mystify the call process and provide insights to help you move past dating to seriously discovering the leader God's set aside for your congregation.
The Organic Organization: A Scalable Organization Model
There's a movement by many in the emerging and emergent church to dispense with "organizing" a church, that is, to delineate organizational and decision-making structures. However, even a cursory look at nature reveals a structured organization that keeps life in harmony. In this episode, Drs. Bill and Kris explore the fractal model of church organization … what it is, why it's one of the most innovative and flexible organizational structures, and how you can put it into practice in your congregation.

Lisa-Marie DiVincent – EWEB Public Input 11-5-13
Greetings, Commissioners, staff and citizens,
My name is Lisa-Marie DiVincent, counselor, nonviolent communication trainer, and mediator in private practice. Please recall my message last month, "Do no harm." Let us continue to strive for that goal.
Next, I'd like to appreciate the wireless meter opt-in, making it easier for those with sufficient scientific understanding to decline a wireless smart meter on our homes or businesses, if self-employed.
However, public and private employees don't have that choice. To prevent scientifically proven harm to the percentage of radiation-sensitive full time employees who will be physically compromised, I request that all public and commercial buildings remain smart meter free. An exponential increasing in community education will inform employee lawsuits proving EWEB irresponsible if not negligent. You have received ample documented evidence about smart meter risks and dangers.
In addition, the general public should not be forced to be exposed to smart meter radiation in the course of necessary activities away from home. Concerned citizens are considering maintaining an on-going list of all homes, buildings, and businesses with smart meters installed so that aware people can protect themselves accordingly. To recap: Please keep all public and commercial buildings wireless smart meter free.
Finally, I am formally requesting a Citizen Advisory Board to provide the community with a balanced view of wireless meter pros and cons. All EWEB publicity, promotional and bill inserts, incentives, on-line and hard copy newsletters, as well as media releases regarding this topic need balance. Over the past several months, I'm disheartened to say I've seen a culpable lack of transparency, with biased one-sided pro-smart meter views being consistently distributed by EWEB staff.
The failure of truly informed choice will serve as evidence in future law suits. We owe it to our community to let _them_ decide for themselves by hearing the different versions — the slant of EWEB staff and that of citizens opposed to wireless meters. A large majority of EWEB customers still lack exposure to the pros and cons that would help them decide which presentations to base their choice on. By failing to fully inform customers, the opt-in clause will not protect EWEB from future class action lawsuits.
Despite working full time, I've been volunteering considerable energy towards researching and informing our community to help EWEB Do No Harm. Please let a Citizen Advisory Committee contribute to the public's right to know instead of continuing down the contentious path of this dangerous controversy.

The weather has warmed up nicely and all the birds in the garden announced that winter is at an end! The Weavers started building nests and the Red-billed Wood Hoopoos lured their two babies out of their nest in my old Peach tree and took them off to greener pastures. I do hope they'll be back to spend more time in my garden...
Red-billed Wood Hoopoo (Phoeniculus purpureus)
I've been lax checking on my succulents (the few I have left in the garden after giving everything away, thinking that we were moving to the coast), firstly because I was really ill with pneumonia at the end of May and then with Chronic Bronchitis virtually the whole of June and July and secondly because of the cold, but now that I've recovered and with the warmer weather I ventured into the succulent garden to assess the winter damage.
To my surprise I found that everything had survived and, in fact, the succulent area has been over-taken by the Crassula imperialis (or possibly muscosa...?) and are none the worse for wear after the cold. I now have thousands of little plants and could probably fill a thousand pots and still have plenty left! A new business opportunity, perhaps...? lol!
There are a few Echinopsis cacti somewhere under all that Crassula imperialis - need to get them out and transplanted before they make any flowers, which would have trouble showing up through all this!
With such an abundance of Crassula, I took the chance of filling a pot with some of it as well as some (rather leggy) Echeverias to put in a sunny spot on the patio.
Aloe ferox seeds randomly dispersed by birds or the wind ended up growing tightly together next to my garden path, making it impassable! This position is in dappled shade and gets quite a lot of water, I think that aided in the germination process. Need to transplant some of these babies now. And check out all the Crassula also covering the pathway!
Chores for the next couple of days will consist of transplanting some of the "unwanted" aloes to sunny spots and spreading some of that lovely Crassula to other parts of the garden so that I can have my pathway back!
I discovered a pot Echinopsis cactus (makes pink flowers) with new pups somewhere under some red Hot Pokers. Want to try and separate the pups today.... The other succulents in the pot (Crassula and Kalanchoe) were put in the pot either by birds or the wind!
For my friends in the Northern Hemisphere now heading into cold weather, I hope your winter is mild and that all your succulents thrive!

Archive for the 'paypal' tag
Paypal Documentation is Terrible
My first experience working with Paypal is horrendous.
Here are issues Paypal needs to address
Terrible Documentation
You know why w3schools is so awesome? It's because they offer 5-7 page quick start tutorials on anything you want to learn. This is what paypal is sorely lacking. They make no attempt at writing concise and comprehensive tutorials. Instead, they compile incomplete 200 page manuals, scatter documentation across various websites, and omit references to REQUIRED parameters for their APIs.
It took me 3 days to understand the requirements behind a simple paypal checkout call. Then it took me another 2 days to successfully execute the SetExpressCheckout NVP call, the most basic of all calls.
I salute the technical support team at Paypal. They probably spend 80% of their time answering beginner's questions that should be addressed in a 5-page quick start guide.
Non-descriptive Error Codes
I get an error "Security Header is Not Valid". What does this mean?
a) Wrong Api_end_point because paypal made recent upgrades to their api
b) Your credentials are incorrect
c) Space aliens think you're hot and they're hitting on you
d) None of the above
e) Any or all of the above
If you chose e), you are correct. The error codes almost always tell you nothing. You copy the error code and error message into google, hit search, and you'll get dozens of possible reasons that generate the error.
In my case, I mistakenly thought that my paypal credentials could be used in sandbox mode. And this reflects my poor understanding of the paypal basics. (And it relates to terrible documentation, which mentioned next to nothing on how to set up sandbox environment).
That's it for now. I'm sure I'll have more to complain about at the end of this month, when paypal integration is complete.
eCommerce: PayPal and Beanstream
UPDATE: I wrote this a while back, so skip to the bottom for more up to date info
I recently made a comparison between Beanstream and PayPal. This is my report. I welcome any opinion.
I've done extensive research into both products and can conclude that both offer the same services, but at different prices. From my experience, there's no real pro vs. con between Beanstream and PayPal. It's a matter of selecting the best price plan for your business. A business's monthly online sales volume will determine which price plan is right for you, and consequently, help you decide between Beanstream and Paypal.
When talking about costs, the price plans Beanstream and PayPal offers vary. But all plans consist of the following fees:
- Set up fee (between Free – $100)
- Monthly fee (between $20 – $70)
- Transaction fee (between $0.20 – $1.00 per transaction)
- Merchant account fee (between 2% – 4% per transaction)
Beanstream and PayPal collect the setup fee, monthly fee and transaction fee. The bank dealing with credit cards collects the merchant account fee (when you go to a store and pay by credit card swipe, there is a 2% to 4% charge to the store owner…the merchant account fee is this fee)
All other things compared: everything Beanstream does, PayPal does, and vice versa. They both provide easy to use API and documentation for programmers. They both have easy to understand CMS for managing finances.
So that's the nutshell and everything in it.
UPDATE: December 13, 2010
Actually, the biggest difference between Beanstream and Paypal is support. Beanstream is much more timely in terms of support. Paypal support is terrible…you have to post in forums and wait hours for an OP to post short un-descriptive answers. Also, paypal documentation is terrible, which I've written about here: http://internetbandaid.com/2009/01/16/paypal-sucks/

The Tokyo Teien Art Museum asked me to share my opinion about decoration. Herewith my vision;
My work blurs the line between fine art and design. Creating casts and molds of architectural fragments, spaces, and bodies, which people can interact with. My work questions the way in which form and function directly effect the relationship between the viewer and the work. One of the most striking examples is my cast of the Porta del Paradiso by Lorenzo Ghilberti (1378-1455). I collaborated with mold-maker Oscar Paanen to create a contra-mold of the inverted Gates of Paradise. From this cast I created a stand-alone reproduction: a piece that simultaneously serves as a functional object and an autonomous work of art. This approach allows me to appropriate the history of architecture and reconfigure it into a physical, tangible presence in space. Elements in Time is a continuation of these ideas, for which I created playful rubber objects that take on the iconic, art-historical shapes and design. Each piece is unique and invites new interpretations of architecture and their associated cultures. The architectural ornament plays a big role my the work Elements in Time.
Ornaments are in most cases characterized by styling, a repetitive motif and symmetry. For example, they may aim to bring the observer of something to be informed, thoughts so generate or to give a certain feeling. I realized that ornaments in architecture are mostly never displayed next to each other. Although there is still a big creed for modernism and minimalism in my ideas the ornament can play a bart in these spaces. Without them what's left?
Back in the days simplicity is good, decoration unnecessary.. Until recently, a large majority of the leading population would have spontaneously agreed there. On the one hand, from a Dutch tendency to soberness, and on the other hand because the good taste so commanded. Decoration, that was frills, that was excessive. From bridal builder to fashion designer, everyone disturbed the ornament. Not that this was a pure Dutch thing. The most radical contestant of the ornament, Adolf Loos (1870-1933), was the son of an Austrian construction worker. He was himself an architect and designer, making himself immortal in 1908 with an article whose title says everything: Ornament und Verbrechen, Decoration and Crime. Primitive nations such as Indians and Papuans, so declared Loos, decorate everything, to their own skin. They also eat their enemies. We, on the other hand, civilized as we are, have brushed us on the ornament. Let's be proud of that!
But the blood flows where it can not go - the ornament did not break out. No wonder: the tendency to decorate (apart from the disturbing adjective that has that word in today's Dutch) is in fact born. Who is able to put fruit on a self-baked pie without paying attention to the pattern they form? Who has peace with a slanting tie, or a room with four empty walls? Order and ornament go smoothly together, as the great art historian Ernst Gombrich explained, no human being can live with chaos.
You could say that Loos' proved untrue, and the ornamentlessness he sought outdated. It makes this book all the more relevant. The world of now you can only understand if you know the opposite pole.

Implanon is about the size of a thin matchstick. It contains a hormone called etonorgestrel. Most users have it inserted under the skin of their upper arm, not far above the elbow. The 'match' can easily be felt, but it's not very visible – except to someone who is looking for it. There will be a tiny scar at the point where the device was inserted, but unless something has gone wrong, this shouldn't be very visible either. Because of the local anaesthetic, there should be very little pain. Implanon is inserted during the first five days after the start of the period – mainly to ensure that the woman is not pregnant.
Implanon lasts for three years, after which it runs out of hormone. It releases a steady stream of a female-type hormone into the bloodstream. The hormone reaches the ovaries, and prevents them from releasing eggs. It also causes some minor anti-conception changes in the womb lining and in the cervix. It requires a properly trained Singapore gynaecologist to perform the insertion and removal. It is at least 99 per cent effective.
Most women who want to use an implant can have one fitted. But it may be unsuitable if:
- already pregnant
- Do not want periods to change
- Take certain medicines
- Have active liver disease
- Have breast cancer now or within the past five years
- Have thrombosis, heart or circulatory disease
- Have migraines with aura
Possible side-effects include although not common include:
- headache
- spotting
- weight gain
- breast tenderness
- dizziness
- depression
- Very effective
- Doesn't interrupt sex
- Works for three years
- Can be used by women who cannot use estrogens or who are breastfeeding
- normal female fertility returns as soon as it's removed
- May give some protection against cancer of the womb
- Offers some protection against pelvic inflammatory disease
- May reduce heavy, painful periods
- Periods may become irregular, longer or stop
- Acne may occur
- Some women report mood changes and breast tenderness
- Requires a small procedure to fit and remove it and has to be performed by a trained doctor

Remember a while back when I said I was going to talk about yummy, tasty duck confit? Well here I am talking about it. Sometimes I just need to make things and that's what I've been doing instead of posting around here. Some of what I've been making involves duck. We've made two batches of duck confit this winter. One just after Thanksgiving and another at the end of January. It's an easy process and then you have the meat, fat, jelly and bones for broth for a good long time. I feel like I should have posted this a few weeks ago for my east coast friends. We love having this in the fridge for those days (weeks) where we feel snow bound and/or just don't want to drive down the hill to go shopping. Not that I know what that feels like this year, but it is nice when we come to the end of the week and don't have much in the cupboards. What you see in the photo above is the raw duck legs being covered in fat ready to go into the oven. My favorite recipe is from Thomas Keller's Bouchon cookbook . You create a green salt (lots of herbs blended with salt) and pack the legs with it for 24 hours. After rinsing that off you cover the legs with previously rendered fat and cook them at a very low temperature in the oven for ten hours. I now have a new oven that doesn't get below 275 degrees so I had to cart my pan of fat covered legs over to my in-laws for a long bake at 175. Once out of the oven the legs stay under the fat until you are ready to eat them. The combination of the salt and the fat preserves the legs for a good long time.
Today we enjoyed a wonderful crispy duck salad with wild garden weeds for lunch I made this confit on January 29th. That batch was made especially for these incredible tamales one of our Gino's cooks made for the annual Super Bowl/Employee party at the restaurant. some of the fat was mixed into the masa which made these amazingly flavorful! Another salad variation and a delicate soup made with some of the jelly found under the meat. That jelly is full of the flavors of that original green salt rub.
You can use the meat for tacos or have a leg on its own over polenta. The jelly is great to add by the tablespoon to a dish you feel just needs an extra something; and let us not forget the incredible flavor of potatoes roasted in duck fat.
So if you are a wee bit chilly this winter season, and you can get down your driveway, go find a butcher to order up some legs and duck fat.
I would add that confit means to cook in fat, so tuna that is poached in olive oil in the same manner lasts as long (and is wonderful for a whole slew of other recipes). How about garlic confit (tasty and very good for you). This is a great preservation technique, but it also gives you intense flavor. Wonderful at this end of winter. We realized today that we are ready to take that step into spring. Enjoying duck with the greens was really tasty, but our bodies are starting to crave the flavors of spring...almost time for those tonic herbs.

First let me admit that my current web browser of choice is Firefox, however I also have chrome and IE (and now opera) installed. Opera 10.0 was released today so I thought I'd take a look and see how it stacks up. The download is 6.6 MB, so not a bad size. Installation is quick, choosing custom just lets you change the install path and choose to create start menu, desktop, or quick launch icons. One thing to note that I installed this on Windows Server 2008 which only has the Windows classis UI, so buttons etc may look different.
The screen shot below is Opera 10 on Google's home page. One issue I noticed immediately is the address bar didn't span the whole width when I reduced the size of the window for the screenshot. This was remedied by expanding the size of the window which then showed the address bar and the search bar, and resizing the width by clicking between the two boxes. I think I prefer chrome's approach to having a single bar for both purposes.
Opera on the left, Firefox on the right.
I then opened 4 tabs with both browsers:
With Google.com, omaha.craigslist.org, Hulu (paused on a video), and eBay.com pages loaded. Opera was using 176,000K of memory, Firefox was at 187,000K. My machine has 6 gig of ram so even though those numbers seem high I still have plenty to spare on my system, they may be more frugal on system with less memory (but maybe not). After killing all the open tabs except Google, Firefox's memory usage dropped to 89,000K whereas Opera hung around 149,000K. Unexpectedly I did not have to install flash on Opera's browser when I went to Hulu. So I then went to a Silverlight site and didn't have to install it either. Nice.
Opera feels very fast when navigating. Pages load like they are in a hurry. Opening a new tab loads a speed dial window showing your most visited sites in thumbnails. There is a little x in the top right corner to remove unwanted items from the speed dial page.
One feature that only Firefox has implemented which keeps it at the top of my list is the ability to select a section of the page, right click and choose "View Selection Source" so you can see the html of your selection. This feature is also not available in Opera 10. New to Opera 10 is inline spell checking, so the browser will underline misspelled words in text boxes (this feature is available in Firefox).
I was unable to select gMail as my mail service when clicking on mailto links. The 4 options shown to me were Yandex, Fastmail, Opera Mail, and Mail.ru. I use (and have never heard of none of these). I've read other blogs that seem to show gmail being provided as an option. I don't know why it wasn't provided to me. I even went to my gmail with opera logged in, restarted the browser, and still no change. This will be a deal breaker if I cannot resolve the issue.
For the brief set of pages I visited Opera rendered all content correctly and quickly, and seemed faster than Firefox. However the lack of "View Selection Source" and using gmail as my default mail provider leaves Firefox as the reigning browser of choice for me.

Minnesota Food Charter in Action events
See this page in: English
University of Minnesota Extension supported nine "Minnesota Food Charter in Action" events in November and December 2017. Extension is the lead partner of engagement of the Minnesota Food Charter Network.
These events brought together community members, elected officials, and food access leaders. The goals were to:
Build and strengthen relationships.
Recognize and share local efforts around healthy food access.
Identify challenges, community-driven solutions, and policy priorities.
Build momentum for inclusive collaboration and next steps for action.
Event notes and evaluations
Minnesota Food Charter in Action Events: Executive summary (PDF)
Minnesota Food Charter in Action Events: Statewide summary and evaluation notes (PDF)
These events were supported by a statewide steering committee and nine event planning teams.
Steering committee
The steering committee developed shared templates to support event planning that could be used by the local planning teams if they chose. Each steering committee member also served as a liaison for an event to support successful implementation and critical weaving of information across all nine events.
The steering committee included representatives from the Minnesota Food Charter Network, Minnesota Farmers Union, Terra Soma, American Heart Association, Hunger Solutions, Second Harvest Heartland, the Center for Prevention at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, and the Minnesota Department of Health.
Event planning teams
Each event had a planning co-lead that supported a team made up of food charter champions. Each planning team also had at least two University of Minnesota Extension staff members and additional administrative support from a member of the steering committee.
Thank you to our sponsors.
