The White Sox waited through a rainout and a lengthy delay to get the win they sorely needed.
Cabrera, Davidson, Garcia lead White Sox over Tigers 8-2
CHICAGO — The White Sox waited through a rainout and a lengthy delay to get the win they sorely needed.
Melky Cabrera homered and had four RBIs, Matt Davidson went deep and Avisail Garcia drove in three runs to lead Chicago over the
Tigers8-2 on Friday night after the first game of their doubleheader was postponed because of rain.
Garcia, Cabrera and the surging Jose Abreu each had three hits, and the White Sox opened a seven-game homestand on a winning note after dropping seven of 10 out West.
Detroitand Chicago will try again to play two on Saturday after Game 1 got washed out. The postponement was the 26th this year — one more than all of last season, according to Major League Baseball.
The teams waited out an 85-minute delay at the start of Game 2. It finally began at 8:35 p.m. and didn't end until 12:17 a.m.
"It was a long day," Abreu said through an interpreter. "It was a very long day."
Particularly for the
Tigers, who didn't get to their hotel until about 4 a.m. after their trip from Houston. And manager Brad Ausmus was none too pleased about having to play a doubleheader on Saturday. He thought it would have made more sense to schedule one for when
Detroitreturns in late August.
"Am I happy with it? No," Ausmus said. "It's awful, actually. It's a terrible schedule."
Garcia's three-run double off Matthew Boyd (2-5) with two out in the third gave Chicago a 3-1 lead.
Davidson homered off Blaine Hardy to lead off a two-run sixth that made it 5-2, and Cabrera added a three-run drive off Chad Bell in the eighth.
Abreu had three singles and scored a run. He is 16 for 33 in a seven-game hitting streak.
"I think that the things you are seeing right now are the results of my work, especially in the cage with the hitting coach and the assistant hitting coach," he said. "My approach in each at-bat, I think that that's been the key for me."
Mike Pelfrey (2-4) worked five innings against his former team, allowing two runs (one earned) and four hits. Released by the
Tigerson April 3, the right-hander struck out seven and walked one.
Detroit's Alex Avila cut it to 3-2 with a solo homer in the fifth. Boyd gave up three runs and nine hits in 4 2/3 innings.

Publication Note: This column was first published in the April 13, 2017 edition of the Lonoke County Democrat weekly newspaper, linked HERE in its original format. It is the 9th installment of the "Look at Lonoke" column.
A key leader in my life has taught me that I can only be offended if I choose to be. When I consider this, it is quite liberating to think that no one has the power to offend me – it is a choice I make whether I want to harbor an offense, or release it. Over the years, this notion has prompted me to set the threshold of offense such that there aren't too many things which qualify for that distinction.
So, if I am choosing not to be offended, then my world opens up to have conversations and to sit at the table with those that I may have previously walled-off, or perhaps worse, were afraid of engaging. If I build a fence in order to protect myself from the ideas and words of others, I run the risk of missing out on creative opportunities, perspectives, and thought processes to which I may not otherwise be exposed. I create an awfully small world when I chose to be offended.
Choosing to listen, however, will build a bridge that will benefit not only me, but my neighbor, and the next generation. That bridge is built in increments. It is built by spending time with one another, by listening more than talking at times, and by genuinely taking interest in the livelihood and passions of another.
The responsibility is also mine to not be offensive or indifferent to the sensibilities of others.
An older movie I used to frequently watch has a line which states, "Good manners are just a way of showing others that you respect them." I really feel like that is one of the unique blessings of our little community here in Lonoke. As a small Southern town on the edge of the Delta, we still know what good manners are. It is a bit easier to raise our children here, knowing that they will be in an environment where multiple generations gather and respect is modeled.
It is that characteristic respect and good manners which has marked the community conversation recently here in Lonoke. I am continually grateful for a community of neighbors who have made the choice to share ideas and to speak with a positive, affirming tone to one another. That affirmation can be exponential, in that it generates an environment where cooperation and respect are expected and perpetuated.
In a recent column, entitled "The Breakfast Club," writer Rex Nelson describes a tradition in the basement of the State Capitol in Little Rock where legislators meet over breakfast, trade stories, and build connections with one another. While the banter among the lawmakers would certainly be animated and lively, they always return to the table, time after time, to visit, to see one another, and to be seen. I'm glad that Rex Nelson will be in Lonoke later this month to speak at the Chamber of Commerce Annual Appreciation Banquet. I relish his stories of the rich traditions of our state and region, and his way of celebrating specific people and places.
I also like the idea which Rex describes- a place where there is a table big enough to entertain multiple perspectives, and numerous ideas. Some ideas may be better than others. Time will tell, and we certainly don't have to determine today which ideas are best. But as we stay at the table together, taking our seat week after week, listening and making room for new voices, those greater ideas emerge from the good, and we are all the better for it.
Our words of kindness enrich the soil of relationship and give life to a stable root system of connection. If we continue in our determination to use good manners, share good ideas, and be good neighbors, people outside our community are going to take notice. They will look at Lonoke and come to the realization that we are cultivating something unique, something special, here in community together.
Ryan Biles and his wife Natalie are raising three boys in Lonoke. You are invited to perpetuate this transparent, respectful conversation using the hashtag #LookAtLonoke on social media.

Besson Eb Flugelhorn
This is another instrument from Boyde Hood's collection. Until he mentioned it recently, I had forgotten that I had sold it to him about 10 years ago. Boyde tries to use as many of his (many) instruments in performance as he can. While in the Los Angeles Philharmonic trumpet section, he wouldn't have opportunities to play interesting antiques such as this, but in his capacity as trumpet teacher at USC, he enjoys sharing such things with his students. He has used this soprano flugelhorn in recitals there.
This instrument was made in about 1885 and Besson had probably been making similar Eb flugelhorns since the 1860s and continued at least into the first quarter of the twentieth century. It is 12 9/16" long with the mouthpiece removed (11 9/16" from bell rim to curve), the bell rim diameter is 4 9/16" and the bore measures .397".
It is well known that the French style flugelhorn, so popular in jazz music since the 1960s, is a direct descendant of the Bb contralto Saxhorn as made by Adolphe Sax and most other French makers. Early Bb Saxhorns with bells front are very similar in dimensions to modern flugelhorns that continue to be made by most makers today. Interestingly, the Eb soprano flugelhorns are entirely a different breed from the original Eb soprano Saxhorns. The latter were about the same bore measurement through the valves, but were much wider through the bell flare.
The photo to the right shows an original "Petit Saxhorn" made in the 1840s by Sax himself. American makers continued making sopranos of similar proportions into the 1870s when they were replaced by Eb cornets. The effect of this instrument is more cornet like, without the shrill sound often associated with the Eb soprano cornet.
Standard French military band arrangements from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries called for "petit bugle Mib" along with two Bb flugelhorns and two Bb cornets. The last illustration to the right shows the flugelhorns that were available from Besson in 1910. The Eb soprano had not changed in more than 25 years.

Each Smith-Root backpack electrofisher battery (for either the LR-24 or LR-20B) supplies 24 volts and has a capacity of either 7 amp-hours or 12 amp-hours (for the extended life version). With the exception of the new lithium iron phosphate batteries ($997 retail), these batteries use sealed lead-acid (SLA) cells that require no maintenance beyond regular charging. Now 24V is a little unusual in the general lead-acid battery market (most are 12V) but, as you may recall from basic physics, wiring two batteries together in series adds their respective voltages. If we do this to two 12V cells we'll end up with a 24V and, as you can see from the picture below, that's exactly what Smith-Root has done.
In fact, the Smith-Root batteries are simply two commercially available SLA batteries glued to a plastic handle and wired in series. This handle is nothing more than a 0.25″ thick sheet of ABS plastic with a hole routed in it for a handle and a spot for the power connectors. Since the battery cases are also made of ABS plastic, it's possible to create very strong glue joints between the three components. The only remaining pieces are the fancy orange connector between the center (-) and (+) terminals which turns out to be a 40A automotive fuse (MAXI size), and the connectors that attach the battery to the electrofisher. These connectors are known as Anderson Powerpoles and have a rather rather cool stackable, genderless design. They can be bought for about a dollar apiece from a number of different hardware supply websites.
First you need to source two 12V SLA batteries in either the 7A or 12A size (you can go with other sizes too, all you're changing is the fishing time). There are actually a few competing brands for these, all with pretty much the exact same range of sizes and quality. The only real difference between brands is the color of the casing. Smith-Root appears to use AJC batteries but Sigmastek (which I've used here) or Powersonic will also work. AJC simply refers to the batteries by voltage and amperage (so 12V 7A or 12V 12A) while Sigmastek calls them SP12-7 and SP12-12 and Powersonic labels them the PS1270 and PS12120. All are equivalent so I recommend shopping around for the best deal.
Once you've done that you need to collect the other pieces. I've had good success getting 12″x48″ sheets of 0.25″ ABS plastic from Grainer (which will make a lot of batteries) and the other components can be obtained from McMaster-Carr. The Powerpole connectors should be the 45A size and I recommend getting the combined housing and connector kits. By mixing a five-part red kit with a similar black one you get enough connectors to make five batteries. Finally you'll need the aforementioned 40A MAXI fuse, some 8AWG wire in red and black, and some heat-shrink tubing to protect the terminals.
The next step is to cut down your ABS sheet until you've got a chunk about 6″ by 5.5″. I did this on a bandsaw but a jigsaw, scroll saw, or even a hacksaw would work just as well. If you'd like to be fancy you can add the rounded corned at this time, although it'd certainly not necessary for normal operation. I've found that a coarse file works well for cleaning up any rough edges and doing final shaping.
After that's done it's time to cut out the rounded handle slot. In all honesty, you could skip this step completely (and the handle itself, for that matter) but it's nice to have when you're carrying the battery around and provides a place to run the strap when securing the battery to the electrofisher. I tried a few different ways of making this, including a dremel, but finally settled on a combination of a hole saw (for the rounded ends) and a keyhole saw (for the straight areas between them) with a bit of filing to finish up. A jigsaw or scroll saw would probably work well too.
At this point I recommend testing the fit to make sure that everything lines up, especially the fuse in its little slot. Then, if you're happy with how it all goes together it's time to get out the glue and set about making it permanent. I have no idea what Smith-Root uses but I went with Weld-On 16, namely because I had some lying around. Any glue that's suitable for ABS plastic should work fine as we're not doing anything exotic like joining dissimilar materials. Once you're got that all set up it's time to clamp it and step away for 24 hours or so.
After the glue sets, all that's left is to solder the fuse across the middle two tabs (linking the batteries in series and adding their voltages to make a 24V unit) and then solder the wires to the two remaining outside tabs. Connect the matching color Powerpole connectors to the end of each wire and you have yourself a battery unit that's 100% compatible with both LR-24/LR-20B units and the battery chargers associated with them.
Feel free to email with any questions or comments. I'm especially interested in hearing from anyone who's built one of these and would love to see pictures of the finished product.
Disclaimer: I'm not a professional engineer nor am I in any way associated with Smith-Root. This worked for me but I can't guarantee that it will for you.

In his first start since December 14th, rookie Tyler Beskorowany notched his first AHL shutout in a 25 save performance. Texas stretched their current point streak to 7 games and are now just one point behind the San Antonio Rampage for 1st place in the West Division.
The Stars got out a quick start in the second game of the back-to-back. Just 57 seconds in, Brad Lukowich found Travis Morin on an outlet pass. Morin took a shot and Fabian Brunnstrom collected the rebound for his third goal in as many games.
Tyler Beskorowany was shelled in the first period, stopping all 14 Heat shots. Texas, meanwhile, managed 5 in the period but still collected two goals. The Stars second goal of the night came on only their 4th shot with Ray Sawada deflecting a shot from Philip Larsen for a power play goal just before the 12 minute mark of the period. Travis Morin collected the second assist on the tally.
Beskorowany got a chance to sit back in the second as Texas outshot Abbotsford 14-4 in the middle frame. Unlike the first period however, the Stars could not pierce the Heat goaltender, Leland Irving, in the period. Despite three power play, Texas came out of the second period with their same 2-0 lead as the first intermission.
It turns out that would be all they needed. Mathieu Tousignant added an empty net tally with seven seconds to go.
Fortunately and unfortunately, Texas is now idle until Friday's match against the San Antonio Rampage, which will be one of those "four point games", if you will. The Rampage have quite a few games this week (Sat, Sun, and Wed) and are already banged up (Beaudoin) and called up (MacLean, Ekman-Larsson). Of course, those games also give the Rampage, as well as the Rivermen and Admirals, a chance to catch up with Texas.

Injuries, scratches, and notes:
Backman (scratched)

Algeria has barred all Syrians from entering the country via its southern border with Mali and Niger to keep out members of defeated rebel groups from Syria deemed to pose a security risk, a senior official said on Wednesday.
Hassen Kacimi, the official in charge of migrants policy at the interior ministry, told Reuters that Syrians seeking refuge in Algeria in this way were suspected to be Islamist militants and were not welcome.
Algeria went through years of devastating civil war with hardcore jihadist groups in the 1990s. While violence is now greatly diminished, sporadic attacks continue in isolated areas.
"We have hosted 50,000 Syrians in the past few years for humanitarian reasons," Kacimi said, alluding to refugees from Syria's civil war, "but we cannot accept members of armed groups fleeing from Syria when it comes to our security."
He said around 100 had reached the southern border with the help of local armed escorts in recent weeks but were intercepted and expelled shortly after they slipped into Algeria.
Kacimi said these Syrians had transited Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, Sudan and Niger or Mali using fake Sudanese passports.
"Definitely this is a criminal network and we must be very vigilant not to allow them get into Algeria," he said.
Algeria has kept diplomatic relations with Syria throughout its own civil war, in which President Bashar al-Assad has largely defeated rebels and jihadists trying to topple him. Syrians do not need visas to enter Algeria.

OTTAWA, Dec 8 (Reuters) - Budget cuts have left safety-related engineering positions vacant in the Canadian agency responsible for overseeing shipments of dangerous goods, government records show, fueling worries about trains moving oil across the country.
Rail safety is in focus with the boom in oil shipments and a spate of derailments across North America, and the vacancies create a safety risk, industry experts and Canada's public engineers' union say.
The chair of the Transportation Safety Board, Kathy Fox, says there is risk of a spill as long as the government fails to address its oversight weaknesses and improve tank car standards.
"We don't believe that the current standard is sufficiently robust to prevent liquid spilling in the event of a derailment or rail accident, so what we want to see are tougher standards for tank cars carrying flammable liquids," Fox told Reuters.
A recent analysis by the Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration estimated that a failure to upgrade existing regulations would lead to the equivalent of 10 major accidents, costing more than US$18 billion in damages, including fatalities, over the next 20 years.
Retired and current employees from Transport Canada told Reuters that engineers in the department's dangerous goods division would be responsible for developing new standards.
Fox said her board had not determined whether staffing levels were a factor, but said until new standards are in place, "during this period, we continue to be at risk with large transport of flammable liquids by rail."
Last year, 47 people were killed in the Quebec town of Lac-Mégantic after a train carrying crude oil derailed and exploded.
Mark Hallman, a spokesman for the Canadian National Railway Company, declined to comment on Transport Canada's staffing and resources. But he said the Lac-Mégantic tragedy highlighted the importance of better standards.
"For CN, tank car design is one of the most important systemic issues arising from the Lac-Mégantic rail accident," Hallman told Reuters. He said the company "strongly supports" better standards requiring retrofitting or phasing out older model DOT-111 cars, as well as reinforced standards for new tank cars.
Four oil companies contacted by Reuters, Cenovus Energy Inc., Suncor Energy Inc, Valero Energy Corp and One Earth Oil and Gas Inc., declined to comment on Transport Canada's capacity to introduce new regulations and whether uncertainty was affecting their budget planning.
"Regulations are always in flux, so that's just an ongoing fact of life in the industry," said Brett Harris, a spokesman for Cenovus.
Fifteen percent of the jobs in Transport Canada's dangerous goods and rail safety divisions are open across the country, according to federal records obtained by Reuters. Eight of 19 engineering positions within the Dangerous Goods Division in the Ottawa region headquarters are unfilled.
In Quebec, a position for the manager of dangerous goods transportation in the rail safety division is vacant. Nationally, the vacancies include a superintendent of gas containment and several specialists on containment means for dangerous cargo.
Transport Canada said the openings are due to a combination of budget cuts, early retirements and difficulties competing with the higher-paid private sector.
Public sector engineers earn base salaries as high as C$120,000 ($105,000) but still earn about 20 percent less than in the private sector, based on salary estimates from a survey of professional engineers in Ontario.
The records show that more than 30 positions in the dangerous goods and rail safety divisions have been vacant since 2009. Some resulted from 2012 budget cuts that forced four senior engineers into retirement, including Jean-Pierre Gagnon, who had been working on a North American plan to improve standards for the DOT-111 tank cars, the type that punctured during the Lac-Mégantic tragedy.
"The challenges arising from Lac-Mégantic aren't negligible," said Jean-Paul Lacoursière, a retired professor of chemical engineering at Quebec's University of Sherbrooke, who follows the industry.
"There's still much work to be done on determining types of tank cars, (what to do with) the old generation of tank cars ... and if there's not enough people to do this work, it's going to take a lot longer."
Over the past year, Canada has introduced a series of safety regulations and has pledged to improve its oversight of dangerous goods transportation. It has improved standards for handbrakes and put restrictions on single-person crews.
Engineers are crafting new standards to improve safety and oversight of oil shipments by rail, which have jumped from 500 carloads in 2009 to 160,000 carloads in 2013, according to industry statistics.
But Transport Canada is projecting further reductions to its workforce under government efforts to eliminate the federal deficit. It estimates its overall budget will shrink from C$1.7 billion to C$950 million within three years, including about C$600,000 in cuts to the rail safety and dangerous goods divisions.
"It seems the importance of this role (of qualified engineers) was not taken into consideration when cost-cutting measures were implemented at Transport Canada," said Debi Daviau, president of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada labor union that represents the engineers.

I tried. Jumped onto and quickly leapt off the greek yogurt bandwagon. And I really must be missing something because it's thick, sour creamish taste and texture quickly ranked right up there in the "I'll do a lot of things but not that" category.
Then. I tried this Fruit & Nut Granola. The clouds parted and I swear I heard a hallelujah chorus.
So freaking delicious that I had to hide it from everyone else. Deep in the nooks and crannies and scary corners of our pantry.
I now eagerly consume greek yogurt and purchase the ingredients in bulk.
toss in other dried fruit. I add chopped apricots and diced dried plums

Before we begin, it's important that you understand how torrents work. Unlike most add-ons for Kodi, torrents are P2P, meaning that while you're downloading, your device will also reseed (reshare) the content you're downloading with other torrent users. Basically this means that you're now participating in the sharing of the content, whereas with other add-ons you're only leeching or downloading them, without sharing anything with anyone. It is highly recommended that you use a VPN provider if you're going to mess with torrents, in order to avoid potential legal repercussions in the future. That being said, this can be a great way to find other content that might not be available through other add-ons, as well as high quality 1080P content at super fast speeds.
It'll take a few seconds to setup, but it works pretty cool and it looks like it's only going to get better in the future. Required: Addon Installer Tool Step 1: Navigate to the "PROGRAMS" menu.

A Blessed Christmas: A Unit Study Approach To Studying The Symbols of Christmas is a free online unit study that is Scripture based. The study is edited and adapted with permission by Kathryn M. Martinez based on original material by Karen Caroe. Martinez's study was published in 2002, so a number of the weblinks no longer work. However, the content of the study is so good that it is worth using despite broken links.
For each day of December leading up to Christmas, a Christmas symbols or people serve as the themes. Some of the themes are the Advent wreath, gifts, ornaments, bells, St. Nicholas, Mary, shepherds, and the Baby in the Manger.
Each day begins with a brief explanation of the symbol or person, followed by Scripture verses and a discussion question. For example, the lesson on Gifts begins by explaining that the gift of Jesus is the greatest gift of all. Then it also mentions the gifts of the magi and the way we use gifts to show love to others. The Scripture passage is Matthew 2:10-11 about the gifts of the Magi. Then it poses the question, "The wise men worshipped Christ BEFORE giving gifts to him. We need to be sure worship comes before the shopping and giving of gifts. How can this be done?"
This is followed by a number of activities that you might use: crafts, recipes, reading on related topics, coloring pages, worksheets, games, puzzles, homemade gift projects, service projects, and songs. Types of activities vary from lesson to lesson. Instructions or details for some activities are included in the unit study itself while others are connected through the weblinks. The www.easyfunschool.com site has a link to a html version of this study, but the 49-page PDF version I reviewed seems to have a lot more detail. However, the "Christmas and Winter Activities and Lessons Index" page on the website at http://easyfunschool.com/IndexChristmas.html has links to individual activities, many of which seem to be the same as those in the PDF.
If you wish, you can rearrange the order of the themes to some extent to align with the liturgical calendar or your own preferences. However, you should begin with the first lesson on the Advent Wreath. This lesson includes a list of 28 activities that you might do to show love to others as well as additional Scripture readings. Examples of a few activities are, "Write a note to your father and tell him how much you love and appreciate him" and "Set the dinner table without being asked." These and a few other advent customs described in the lesson might be used throughout the month. The study concludes with brief suggestions for celebrating the 12 Days of Christmas that begin on December 26.
The study uses quotes from the New International Version of the Bible and should be suitable for Christians of all denominations.

To me, one of the hardest things about being a twenty-first century adventurer and social media presence is determining how much information to share with you, the general public. I'll admit that I have no trepidation sharing certain adventures with you – they exist on well defined trails in well regulated areas that are well known. For these types of adventures, I don't worry about the information that I am divulging, as I know there are a plethora of other sources that contain the same – or identical information. These posts are easy for me write, as I can focus on providing additional insights or information to a spot that may not already be in the pool of general knowledge.
Harder are the posts that involve a degree of risk, as it is hard for me to craft a one-size-fits-all description of a route or trail for unknown parties that may have greater or lesser skill than me. The most difficult posts for me to write, however, are the posts that involve locations that are relatively unknown, or flat out unknown. It's hard to believe that in the early 21st century, where the internet is ubiquitous, and maps can be stored on handheld devices that these black spots in the world still exist, but as I've seen, they most definitely do, and on many occasions, they contain amazing things.
When I do make it out to these spots, I am torn between a number of conflicting desires – the desire to protect and preserve the spot – and the desire to educate and inform people about the spot. Sometimes these desires can co-exist in my mind, because by educating people about the spot, it helps to protect what exists there. On other occasions, I look at things, and sadly realize that no amount of education on my end will preserve the spot, because it is something that is fundamentally vulnerable that lacks third party oversight. On such occasions, I've erred on the side of caution – and focused on protecting the site by not providing directions. In this respect, I've developed a basic test of whether the site would survive for my son to see it if I provided directions to the public – or if I did not. While it's not the most perfect test in the world, it works for me, because I feel that these spots should be preserved for future generations.
In the case of the Volcanic Tablelands petroglyphs, my decision on whether to provide directions was fairly easy. The Volcanic Tablelands are an area outside of Bishop, California that was formed over 700,000 ago by the Long Valley caldera. In more recent times, the Paiute-Shoshone Indians resided here and created a great deal of rock art – petroglyphs – throughout the Tablelands. Although there are petroglyphs throughout the area, there are a number of large – and stunning groupings in certain specific areas. Even though this land is public land – managed by the Bureau of Land Management – and a protected area, it is a large area that cannot adequately be patrolled by the BLM.
Correspondingly, over the years, as the area has become more popular, some of the art has been defaced; and in 2013, some of the art was physically cut out of the surrounding rocks. Although the panels were ultimately recovered by the BLM after a large public outcry, it is clear to me – and I think to everyone that this is a vulnerable area. While it was an area that I had visited before; I had never been to the actual main petroglyph sites. When I was recently researching how to get to the sites, it was not lost on me that the information on how to get to the sites was largely hidden from public view. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to have a great resource who provided me with directions, and based on his directions, I was able to see the sites pictured above.
I am not going to represent that getting to the sites is the most difficult task once you have directions, as it is not – which is, and has been part of the problem regarding bad conduct at the sites. What I will say is that if you are near Bishop, and you want to visit the sites, you can visit the BLM office, which generally will provide directions for this adventure after educating you about the region. If you go on the adventure, as I did, you will find a number of sites with a number of fantastically drawn figures, shapes, and other designs. For me, seeing these sites in person was an amazing experience, and one that filled me with wonder and inspiration. Hopefully, if you go, you will feel the same amazement I did, and exercise leave no trace principles at the sites, in order that they can continue to be protected and preserved for future generations.
Directions: The Public Lands Information Center for the region can be found at 798 North Main Street, Bishop, California, 93514.

If you read about malted grain, you probably keep coming across the word "diastatic." Diastatic power and its source, diastatic enzymes, play a key role in the conversion of malted grain's starch into sugar.
The Kilning Process
All barley begins with a large number of diastatic enzymes. These are seeds, after all, and the starch inside the seeds is meant to be converted by diastatic enzymes into sugar to feed the plant as it grows. In as much as that, our goal is the same as the barley plant.
Unlike the barley, however, we're also interested in color and flavor. The processes of kilning and roasting malted grains produce the huge range of variety in the malt that then leads to the differences in beer all the way from the palest lager to the blackest stout.
The trade-off for most of those flavors and colors is a loss of diastatic power. As a basic rule of thumb, the darker a malt is, the longer and hotter it has been heated, and the more its diastatic enzymes have been destroyed.
That's why we use base malts. Base malts are kilned very lightly, preserving most of their diastatic enzymes. Including a large number of base malts in your grain bill means the starches of your other grains, like your kilned and kilned and roasted malts, will also be converted to fermentable sugars during the mash.
This is one of the main differences between two-row and six-row barley. While both are used frequently in North America as base malts, six-row tends to have greater diastatic power than two-row. That's why adjunct-heavy beers tend to be brewed with six-row base malts.
What Diastatic Enzymes Do
When we talk about "diastatic enzymes," we're really talking about three different enzymes: alpha-amylase, beta-amylase, and limit dextrinase. Each one has its own job, converting different types of starch into different types of sugar. There is a fourth, alpha-glucosidase, but it doesn't really help with the brewing process.
These enzymes need moisture and a specific temperature in order to do their work, which is why the mash needs to be held at a fixed temperature for the duration of the mashing process - too cool and the enzymes won't be kicked into gear, too hot and they'll burn away. Each enzyme has a slightly different temperature at which it works best, but somewhere between 150 F and 155 F is the compromise that is most often used.
When you're preparing your grain bill, it's important to make sure you have enough diastatic power to convert the entire mash. If you don't, your beer will wind up being too sweet and weak.
"Degrees Linter"
A malt's diastatic power is usually measured using a unit called "degrees Lintner." This number can range anywhere from 0, in things like black malts and unmalted adjuncts, to 180 in some base malts. Basically, a malt needs at least 30 degrees Lintner to be able to convert all its own sugars.
By the same token, your entire grain bill should have an average of 30 degrees Lintner to ensure that the mash will result in a successful conversion. It's very easy to figure this out. Simply multiply each malt's diastatic power (degrees Lintner) by its weight in the grain bill (pounds). Add each malt's number, then divide that number by the grain bill's total weight in pounds. If this number is over 30, you should be fine.
For example, let's take a look at a recipe:
7 lbs. pale malt, 160 degrees L
1 lb. Munich malt, 25 degrees L
0.5 lb. amber malt, 0 degrees L
First, we multiply the weight of each malt by its diastatic power.
Pale = 7 x 160 = 1120
Munich = 1 x 25 = 25
Amber = 0.5 x 0 = 0
Now we add those three numbers together:
1120 + 25 + 0 = 1145
And we divide that by the number of pounds in the grain bill:
1145 / 8 = 143.125
That is way over 30, so we're in good shape! Basically, if you're brewing an all-grain batch and you include a base malt, you're going to be in the clear. Try to brew without base malt, though, and you'll be in trouble. Look at a grain bill like this one:
5 lbs. Munich malt, 25 degrees L
2 lbs. amber malt, 0 degrees L
1 lb. crystal malt, 0 degrees L
1 lb. chocolate malt, 0 degrees L
0.5 lb. black malt, 0 degrees L
Do the math, and you'll come out to 13 degrees L for the whole grain bill. This mash won't convert properly, and you'll wind up with a strange, sweet beer that's very low in alcohol.
This is a problem most brewers run into when they're brewing a partial mash. To brew a partial mash, you begin brewing as you would with an all-grain batch, but you add extra malt extract before the boil. This gives you much more control over a wider range of flavors and colors than extract brewing, without the hassle and extra equipment of all-grain brewing.
The problem with partial mash brewing, however, is diastatic power. You can't add just any grains to a partial mash, or you run the risk of them not fermenting at all. Adding two pounds of amber malted grain in your beer may give it a beautiful color, but with a diastatic power of 0 degrees L, it'll also give your beer an overly sweet flavor you did not intend.
Even when you're partial mashing, include a base malt to make sure your beer has enough diastatic power to convert its starches to fermentable sugars.

Going to auction sales tells us as much about the past as any history book. The day to day of how people ate, lived, dressed, and coped with various maladies such as colds, fevers, headaches, toothaches, and the like is present in the tools, kitchen wares, packaging, and clothing of the recent past. By recent, I mean in the century past since I was born halfway through it.
Tidying up a display of old time medicine bottles picked up auction sales, I thought to share them with you. They seem quaint by today's sophisticated pharmaceutical standards.
Here we have Pineoleum which was often used with a nebulizer, a device that consisted of a bottle with an rubber bulb that was squeezed to spray the remedy into the nasal or throat passages. Recommended for oral hygiene or coughs & cold, it contained menthol, camphor, oils of cassia, eucalyptus, pine needles and refined petrolatum. Having learned a little about essential oils, these ingredients would likely have been effective at providing some relief.
This is an old standby of my childhood: Vaseline. Used for scrapes, chapped lips, and dry skin mainly; the jar also indicates it's recommended for burns, hemorrhoids and coughs. Vaseline is a brand name for refined petroleum jelly in the same way Kleenex has become synonymous with tissue.
Golden Rod Indian Liniment – I'm not sure if the 'Indian' is to impart a mystical native aura to the cure, but golden rod has a well known reputation soothing hurt, strained or damaged muscles. Many herbals have recipes for tinctures and oils that include golden rod. This bottle had instructions to add a few drops to hot water for inhaling as relief for catarrh and coughs.
Baby's Own Fuller's Earth was a commonly used 'baby powder' for diaper rash and after bath for infants. Another name for it is kaolin clay powder which is found in facial products nowadays. In the 50s & 60s Fuller's Earth was an ingredient in Minipoo, a dry shampoo product: "when you can't shampoo, Minipoo!" Anyone over the age of 60 will remember this as a household staple.

John Stanley, Kt., C.J., Banerji and Aikman, JJ.
1. In the suit out of which this appeal has arisen His Highness the Maharaja of Benares sued for arrears of rent, relying on a kabuliat, dated the 7th of December 1899, executed by the defendants and registered on the 8th of December 1899. By the kabuliat the rent reserved for the holding was an annual sum of Rs. 4,701 and the term of the lease was nine years. The defendants were let into possession of the property on the faith of the Kabuliat. No lease was executed by the plaintiff. In the plaint the plaintiff sets out the terms of the kabuliat and says that in accordance with the agreement entered into thereunder the gum which he claimed was due. The defendants in their written statement did not deny that a tenancy subsisted between them and the plaintiff, but they raised various objections to portions of the claim. In a supplementary written statement, however, they pleaded this defence, namely that "a mere kabuliat without there being a lease is not sufficient to constitute a contract. Hence the suit, merely on the basis of tie kabuliat, is improper and not correct." We are not clear as to the meaning of this difference but we take it from the argument which has been addressed to us that the defendants contend that by reason of the fact that a patta or lease was not executed by the plaintiff, he cannot recover any rent in respect of the use and occupation of his land by the defendants. The Court below held that the defendants executed the kabuliat in favour of the plaintiff' and had it registered and that they came in possession under it and that consequently the execution of the lease was not necessary in order to entitle the plaintiff to maintain the suit. We think that the claim of the plaintiff may be treated as one for compensation for The use and occupation of the land and in view of the fact that the defendants entered into and have continued in occupation of the land, with the plaintiff's consent, they undertaking to pay rent therefor, they cannot be heard now to say that they are not liable for rent for use and occupation. They certainly cannot be treated as trespassers and it is admitted that they heretofore have paid rent to the plaintiff in respect of their occupation of the land in question. It is not their case that they are trespassers. Under these circumstances we fail to discover on what ground they can resist the plaintiff's claim to recover compensation for the use and occupation of his land.
2. Then the question arises as to the measure of compensation. We have the means of determining that by reference to the kabuliat which was executed by the defendants in favour of the plaintiff. They agreed to pay the rent claimed. This rent the Court below has allowed, we think rightly.
3. The only ground of appeal which has been pressed in argument before us is the first, namely that a kabuliat without a patta does not create a valid lease of immoveable property. As to this we express no opinion inasmuch as we find that under the circumstances the plaintiff is clearly entitled to recover compensation for use and occupation.
4. In view of the fact that the defendants have been in occupation of the land with the consent of the plaintiff, and of the fact that the rent was fixed by the kabuliat which has been given in evidence, we think there is no force in the first ground of appeal. The learned vakil for the appellants has abandoned the second, third and fourth grounds of appeal. We therefore dismiss the appeal but we think that having regard to the fact that the plaintiff has neglected to take the precaution of executing, in favour of his lessees, a proper lease he is not entitled to any consideration in the matter of costs. We therefore allow no costs to either party.
5. We express no opinion as to the correctness of the rulings which were relied upon by the learned vakil for the appellants, namely in the cases of Nand Lal v. Hanuman Das (1904) I.L.R. 23 All. 398; Kashir Gir v. Jogendro Nath Ghose (1902) I.L.R. 27 All. 136; Beni v. Puran Dass (1904) I.L.R. 27 All. 190 and Tur of Sahib v. Esuf Sahib (1907) I.L.R. 30 Mad. 322.

A quick weekend to Portland cant be complete without a trip to Powell's Books. This trip actually required two visits and books to be shipped! Now I just have to figure out how they are all going to fit in the already overflowing bookcases.
I am loving geometric carpets and using them on lots of projects. Here are a few favorites that we are working on.

(I started writing this post more than a month ago ... finally getting around to posting it. Sheesh.)
My husband recently told someone that every dinner at our house was highly experimental. Experimental sounds bad to me. Experimental leaves things too open ended. Experiments can go wrong.
There are a few recipes that are in regular rotation around our house, but I do like to cook different things and try new recipes. I feel like I cook enough to discern whether or not I will like a recipe before I put in the effort to prepare it. Perhaps I have the gift of discernment because things typically turn out OK.
Pinterest has become a great resource for me. I can't resist beautiful food photography! It looks so good that I have to prepare it and taste it myself. So, here's a run down of my recent Pinterest successes ... and one flop. But one out of six ain't bad!
Angel Chicken
I would have seasoned this a little more, but this was delicious served over linguine. The recipe says to pour the mushrooms in the bottom of the crock pot and then top with chicken. Problem is, once you do that, the mushrooms adhere to the chicken like barnacles on a boat hull. Stir it all together and you'll have barnacle-free chicken.
Baked Spaghetti
We never make spaghetti at our house. Just not one of my favorites. But this baked spaghetti takes classic spaghetti to the next level. It's creamy and crunch and hearty, not runny like my spaghetti always turns out. So, so good, and it freezes well.
Lasagna Soup
I loved this recipe as well. It's very filling and has great Italian flavor. However, if you don't like fennel, I would avoid this soup. The Italian sausage has a lot of fennel flavor. Also, I would sub the broken lasagna noodles for a simple spiral noodle, just for attractiveness.
Pesto, Plum Tomato and Mozzarella Grilled Cheese
This is one good sammy. The rich, stringy mozzarella is amazing paired with the nutty pesto and fresh tomato. As a card-carrying cheese lover, I could only eat half of my sandwich because it was so rich and filling.
Southwest Chicken Corn Chowder
I saw this photo and wanted to make it immediately. But somewhere my chowder went terribly wrong. It was water and bland and therefore sat on the stove untouched for two days until it became putrid. Skip this one.
Tuscan Pasta
I'm not typically a fan of jarred alfredo sauce. It always tastes a little off. But this jarred sauce is wonderful when you jazz it up a little bit. This was an easy meal after getting home late from working out. You literally throw it together.
White Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas
It's rare that I meet an enchilada I don't love. These are spectacular. Ty ate on them for a few days until he'd polished off the dish. That's saying something since leftovers often go untouched around our house. We'll be making these again, soon.

Just a day after saying quarterback Braxton Miller was day-to-day with a knee sprain, Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer said that he is "fairly optimistic" that Miller will play Saturday against California in Berkeley.
Miller lasted just seven plays in last week's 42-7 victory over San Diego State before suffering a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee. He did not return to the game.
If Miller can't go, the Buckeyes will start senior backup Kenny Guiton, who completed 19/28 passes for 152 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in relief of Miller. He also ran nine times for 83 yards and a touchdown.
STAPLES: Alabama, Oregon top Power Rankings after Week 2
Meyer said he has seen "substantial" improvement in Miller's movement this week.
"His arm is fine," Meyer said, via FoxSports.com. "It's just, can he move and all that? I'll know more of that after today's practice."

Feeling alone as you swim through the terrifying waters known as the college admission process? Have no fear! We have several seniors blogging about ups, downs, and random in-betweens of their college process for the next 12 months (from June 2015 to June 2016!). Sit back, relax, and get that "OMG I totally get you, bro" feeling. Information for how to contact a blogger will be at the bottom of his/her posts.
Since my last post it is safe to say that my life has changed dramatically. I am so excited to say that I finally know where I am going to college! There is a lot to cover in this post, so I'm going to start right away with the Regular Decision recap.
My first decision was Boston College. They announced that they would be releasing decisions between March 14th and March 18th, so needless to say it was a stressful week. Each day I would prepare myself for the decision to come out, but at the end of each day I was disappointed to find out that I would have to wait some more. Looking back, it was probably one of the most nerve-wracking weeks of my life.
I felt like I had a decent guess of my chances for most of the colleges I had left, but BC left me really confused. I am not going to give too much away about where I live, but I live a grand total of 10 minutes from BC depending on traffic. I was not sure that BC would seriously consider my application, given that I was an unhooked applicant that offered them little diversity demographic-wise. In addition, I knew that I was going to have serious competition with my classmates to get in, which was something I was not really thinking about much as I applied to many colleges that were far away.
On St. Patrick's Day I read on BC's twitter account that decisions were going to be released later in the day, and immediately my heart skipped a beat. I get out of school at around 12:30 on Thursdays so I went straight to my room to try to get my mind off of decisions. With my ED school I had practice up until the decision release, but with BC I had almost the entire day to think about it with nothing to do. To make matters worse I was supposed to receive an email anytime between 6 and 10 so I was really paranoid about refreshing my email. Finally, I gathered up the nerve to refresh my email after 45 minutes. It was BC. I clicked on it, and found a link to a pdf. I click on the pdf. I glanced at the zoomed out pdf, and carefully zoomed in with my shaking fingers on my iPhone screen. After I saw "I am delighted to offer you admission…" I ran out of my house screaming. I couldn't believe that I got in.
That night my dad and I drove to BC at sunset, and I ate a giant ice cream sundae from an ice cream shop down the street from BC. Two days later, my parents were already buying merchandise from the bookstore. I had such a strong feeling that Boston College was where I wanted to be for the next four years. The spirit, proximity to Boston, strong humanities programs, medium size, suburban location, and overall philosophy of the college really drew me in. The only thing holding me back was how close to home it was. After a talk over the weekend with my parents on how we would set boundaries and how I would maintain my independence over the next four years, I was sold. My parents went so far to tell me that they would pretend to not know me if I ran into them in the area!
It is surreal to say that I will be attending Boston College as part of the Class of 2020! I plan to major in English on the Pre-Law track and I could not be more excited to be an eagle. As fate would have it, I ended up being waitlisted from all five of my remaining colleges after I made my decision! I suggest this blog be renamed Admit/Waitlist/Deny! Waitlist letters trickled in from the University of Richmond, College of William & Mary, Bucknell University, Wake Forest University, and Emory University throughout that next week.
To be honest, I am surprised that my decisions ended up like they did. I was expecting to have more acceptances and rejections and very little waitlists, but instead I received three acceptances, five waitlists, and two rejections. I guess that goes to show you how unpredictable the college admissions process is and how decisions are often difficult to explain. Though it would have been nice to end with more acceptances, I feel better knowing that my "spot" is going to someone that would be likely to attend since I was no longer considering those last five colleges no matter what. That being said, are there things I would have done differently? Absolutely, and I will expand more on that next month. But in the end you can only attend one school, and I am ecstatic that I will be attending BC. Check back next month for a more thorough reflection on my process as a whole, and the advice I would give to the Class of 2017!

A new US policy to prosecute corporate wrongdoing is drawing flak for being too late after the 2008-2009 financial meltdown and housing crisis.
The policy, unveiled by the Justice Department on Thursday, spells out revised guidelines for prosecutors to focus on wrongdoing by corporate executives.
However, Reuters is reporting the guidelines is being met with skepticism from at least one consumer advocacy group and politicians critical of President Barack Obama's administration.
The policy "amounts to a striking admission that the DOJ's policy on Wall Street corporate crime has been completely ineffective," Robert Weissman, president of Public Citizen, said in a statement.
Weissman said the real test would be whether or not prosecutors can put the policy into action.
Deputy Attorney General Sally Quillian Yates said in a speech at New York University School of Law that companies must be more willing to give up their own officers or employees, not hide people's crimes when authorities start asking questions.
"We're not going to let corporations plead ignorance. If they don't know who is responsible, they will need to find out," Yates said.
A memo circulated on Wednesday said that in future investigations a company would not receive any credit for cooperating unless it disclosed all relevant facts about the people involved in suspected wrongdoing or crimes.
It may be some time, however, before there are visible results.
The changes apply to current matters only to the extent it is practicable, according to the memo, and complex white-collar investigations often take years to complete.
It also remained to be seen how long the shift in emphasis would last because a new administration will take office in January 2017.

Austrian Ecolabel for Biella Austria
Biella Austria has been awarded the Austrian Ecolabel for various products. Federal Minister Nikolaus Berlakovich presented the certificates to Marcus Winkler, CEO Biella Austria GmbH personally. This again underscores Biella Group's commitment to ecologically sustainable management.
On 8 November 2011 Federal Minister Nikolaus Berlakovich ME presented Marcus Winkler MA, CEO of Biella Austria GmbH, with two certificates and authorisations entitling Biella products to carry the Austria Ecolabel. The ceremony was held in the assembly hall of the Environment Ministry in Vienna. The Austrian Ecolabel has been in existence for over 20 years and is awarded by the Environment Ministry to products, tourism businesses and educational institutions. It serves as a guide to consumers, similarly "The Blue Angel" and is awarded on the fulfilment of rigorous test criteria.
The Danube Eco lever arch binder, some other Danube organisational accessories and articles by cooperation partner HAN (Karma range) now bear the Austrian Ecolabel. Biella Austria is thus the first supplier in Austria to offer both a selection of desk accessories and a range of organisational and filing accessories with the Austrian Ecolabel which, in turn, clearly reflects the company's commitment to ecological sustainability. The popular cloud marble-effect lever arch binder was recently awarded the "Blue Angel".
This again underscores Biella Group's commitment to ecologically sustainable management. As a manufacturer of numerous paper and cardboard articles, Biella is committed to saving natural resources and thus affording a valuable contribution to a better environment. All Biella Group production companies are FSC®-certified.
Biella Group is a major European office equipment supplier with FSC®-certified factories in Switzerland, Hungary and Poland, logistic centres in Brügg/Biel (CH), Wiener Neustadt (AT), Warsaw (PL) and Enkhuizen (NL) and a pan-European sales network. Group-wide the workforce totalled an annual average of 702 employees in 2011. Biella-Neher Holding AG is quoted on the Bern Stock Exchange BX Berne eXchange (securities number 151948s).

Oregon uniform vs. Nebraska designed by young cancer survivors
Say what you will about Oregon's array of football uniforms.
There's too many to keep straight. They're obnoxious. They're sweet.
The reactions to the Ducks' latest alternate uniform, to be worn in Week 2 vs. Nebraska, shouldn't be nearly as polarizing. That's because three young cancer survivors from Doernbecher Children's Hospital helped design the #StompOutCancer threads.
See pictures of the new design below and meet the three cancer survivors at the bottom of the post.

5 Questions With: O'Swag (HHK Montreal Organizer)/
Ever wonder what it would be like to perform your fave hip hop track on stage in front of a live audience? Don't lie, of course you have! Here's a tip -- Hip Hop Karaoke is the place to do it. These amazing parties pop up every now and then, and give regular Joe's the opportunity to get up on that stage and let their inner gangsta out. The next HHK is going down this Friday, so who better to ask 5 questions to than O'Swag - HHK organizer and hip hop lover.
BC: If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life -- I mean FOREVER, what would it be?
OS: Dr.Dre - the Chronic 2001 (but Warren G's "Regulate…G Funk Era" is a very, very close second)
BC: What's your fave HHK memory?
OS: My first time performing! It was such a thrill. I remember getting dressed up and being so nervous that I'd forget a line. I performed with my girl Baby J and we did "aint nothing but a G thang", I was Dre and she was Snoop. It was so gratifying and ultimately what started my love affair with HHK and led me to becoming one of the event's organizers!
BC: Which 5 people, dead or alive or in jail, would you invite to your dinner party?
OS: Bob Marley, Jim Morrison, Woody Allen, Kendrick Lamar, Anthony Kiedis
BC: Which of these seemingly non-violent OGs do you think would win in a fight Jay-Z or Dr. Dre?
OS: Physically, Dre. In a rap battle, Hova without a (reasonable) doubt.
BC: Marry/Fuck/Kill: Drake, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar?
OS: You're the worst! This is tough. Marry Drake (how could I not?), Kill Kanye, Bang Kendrick.
BC: Okay, bonus question... What can we expect to see at the next HHK?
OS: You can expect nothing but pure hip hop magic and synergy!
No but for real, it's always a good time and the vibes are on point. Performers get really into it and the track list for this upcoming HHK is looking really dope.
We've got people performing Outkast, Jay Z, Big Sean, IAM, Busta Rhymes and a bunch more! Come thru!!!
The next HHK Montreal is Friday, October 16th. Hosted by D-Shade with beats by Simahlak and a special performance by Chocolate Jungle. FREE OUTDOOR SHOW on St. Denis between Marie-Anne and Mount-Royal. For more info, click HERE.

2 weeks, 1 website & a lot of testing
This project was a part of my UXDI curriculum at General Assembly. I was given a brief that included the business goals of "The Magic Toy Shop" as well as a few user personas that served as the user base for this E-commerce site. For this project I placed heavy emphasis on information architecture so that the navigation would be intuitive for users to find what they needed quickly.
Software used:
Identifying business, brand and user goals
After reviewing the brief and user personas, I noticed that the business placed a huge emphasis on a few specific elements like ease of use while the brand wanted the site to feel unique and users wanted to be able to find things quickly. These became important considerations when conducting user research.
The research methods I used included site visits, competitive analysis, card sorting, association mapping and navigation testing. I gained valuable insight from each of these methods.
Competitive analysis: My research showed that many sites handle out of stock items in an unclear way, some don't offer incentives for users to sign up and make it difficult to find specific items in their navigation. These were helpful considerations for this project.
Card sorting: When asked to organize toys into categories, people had loose categorical associations and put toys into more than one category. This led me to create an association map where I was able to understand how one toy could be found through many paths.
Navigation testing: When asked to find specific toys on an updated navigation, a surprising discovery was that users' age made a difference in how they categorized the toys, hence, what they clicked to find them. This became another consideration when iterating my navigation bar.
After tweaking the navigation to meet the needs of the users, I tested my prototype numerous times and asked participants to perform certain tasks. These annotated wireframes show a simple user flow from search to selection to checkout.

Playwright, Screenwriter Tom Stoppard to Get Top U.K. Literary Honor
The co-writer of the Oscar-winning screenplay for "Shakespeare In Love" will receive the 2013 PEN/Pinter award.
LONDON -- Writer Tom Stoppard, whose resume boasts co-writer on Oscar winning screenplay Shakespeare in Love, has been chosen to receive the 2013 PEN/Pinter prize, a literary honor established in 2009 in memory of the Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter.
The prestigious literary award is dished out annually to a British writer or a writer resident in Britain of outstanding literary merit who, in the words of Pinter's Nobel speech, casts an "unflinching, unswerving" gaze upon the world, and shows a "fierce intellectual determination… to define the real truth of our lives and our societies."
PHOTOS: Authors With Their Stars: Gillian Flynn and Reese Witherspoon, Stephenie Meyer and 'The Host' Cast
Stoppard is scheduled to receive his award at an event at the British Library on Oct. 7. He was selected by a judging panel chaired by novelist Gillian Slovo.
Stoppard, a Czech born British playwright who fled the Nazis as a child refugee during the second world war, has penned myriad works spanning the stage, large and small screens and radio.
He has won four Tony awards including one for Rosencrantz and Guildernstern Are Dead and he also wrote Parade's End, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Rebecca Hall for the BBC and HBO and Joe Wright's Anna Karenina for Working Title.

UPDATED 06/26/12 12:01 p.m.
CHICAGO (CBS) — Four people were hospitalized, and some residents were left hanging for their lives out of windows, as a fire ripped through an apartment building in the Chatham neighborhood.
As CBS 2's Susanna Song reports, some residents jumped out their windows, and others were hanging waiting to be rescued from the four-story courtyard building at 714 E. 82nd St. The Fire Department called a 2-11 alarm for the blaze at 5:35 a.m., and it was quickly raised to a 3-11 alarm.
LISTEN: WBBM Newsradio's Bernie Tafoya reports
"Due to the amount of calls, they immediately requested more help before our members even arrived," said Fire Special Operations Chief Michael Fox. "Once our members arrived on the scene, they had heavy fire coming out of the third- and fourth-floor windows. They had people hanging out the windows, and they had one person who had already jumped into the alley."
That person jumped from a third-floor window, reports WBBM Newsradio's Bernie Tafoya.
Meanwhile, a man and his pregnant girlfriend had to be rescued from a wooden electric utility pole next to the fourth-floor windows. A witness, Derrick Jackson, shot cell phone video of a firefighter rescuing the man after hoisting up a ladder.
Both the man and his girlfriend were hospitalized after being rescued.
Another resident, Megan Irwin, was sound asleep when her dog started barking and woke her up.
"He started barking pretty aggressively, and then when I woke up, there was smoke everywhere. I couldn't even get to my dog," Irwin said. "It was so much smoke, I couldn't get out the front door or the back door. I had to jump out the window."
Irwin jumped 10 feet to safety, but her puppy was nowhere inside. CBS 2's Mike Puccinelli reports, after the fire was completely out, Irwin couldn't believe her eyes when her pit bull came running up to her. Firefighters had rescued the dog.
Earlier, while flames were still growing inside, some residents had become trapped and were screaming for help. Henrietta Ofili woke up on the couch when her smoke detector went off. Her bedroom was already on fire.
"I went to open my door, then I saw the flames," Ofili said. "I closed it back. I called 911, and took my baby, went to the back. I was knocking on my next-door neighbor to get out. There's fire in the building."
Ofili ran out the back door and out the fire escape.
"Very scary, because I was kind of shaking, you know," she said.
Ofili's neighbor got hurt while trying to escape.
"The lady that lives above me, they took her to the hospital, and one of them had jumped through the window and broke their hands," she said.
Quincella Cooks, 25, her husband, and their 1-year-old son were rescued down a ladder.
"When I woke up, my apartment was covered in smoke. So I went towards the back — it was covered in smoke — went towards the front," Cooks said. "The next thing, I opened the window and we left out the window."
Four people were taken to area hospitals from the scene.
One person was initially taken in critical condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, two people were taken to Jackson Park Hospital — one in in fair-to-serious and one in good condition.
A fourth person was taken in good condition to St. Bernard Hospital and Health Care Center, Fire Media Affairs said.
By 9 a.m., all the hospitalized victims' conditions had been upgraded to good, and stable, officials said.
Others had to wait for firefighters to rescue them.
And after the fire was completely out, Irwin couldn't believe her eyes as her pit bull came running up to her. Firefighters had rescued the dog.
"I am so happy," Irwin said. "This is my baby."
The fire was under control by 7 a.m.
According to city records, the building failed its last inspection on June 12. It is not clear if the owners of the building were able to fix the problems.
The Fire Department also ran into some problems while responding. On the way to the scene of the fire, a fire truck was involved in a minor accident at 75th Street and Cottage Grove Avenue, Fire Media Affairs said. Another truck was dispatched to replace it.
Fire investigators were on the scene as of 11 a.m., but no cause had been determined.

Lombard Garden
San Francisco, California
This project introduces three new materials that define, shape and animate this garden perched above the iconic Lombard Street. Wood defines the edge and becomes an important threshold between public and private, granite shapes the programmed areas of the garden and water animates the space and provides a focal element from the interior spaces of the house.
The two tiered garden interfaces with the historic and hectic Lombard Steps and Street, which generates a critical need to define a garden threshold that provides privacy without limiting the gardens commanding views.
The lower garden pays homage to the historical planting structure put in place in 1922, by the former Commissioner for Parks and Recreation, Peter Bercut. His plan to plant hydrangeas along the length of Lombard Street exist to this day and helps create the stunning visual character of the beloved street.
The upper garden is accessed from the well-worn historic brick steps of Lombard Street and is the primary outdoor space for the residence. The garden references the rich maritime history of the past and current residents; materials are left raw and exposed, the composition uses bold simple shapes.
The defining element of the garden is the wood clad garden wall. Previously a concrete painted wall, the clad wall defines the perimeter of the garden and introduces a new texture and pattern to the garden. Black Bamboo is used along the perimeter to shape and define the threshold between adjacent neighbors and the public walkway. The horizontal spaces of the garden are demarcated with black basalt, which is cut and patterned to create a smooth rhythm that runs the long axis of the garden connecting the home and garden.

Created in close collaboration with Doepfer, Softube Modular gives you both the sound, flexibility and expandability of a true analog modular synthesizer. But Softube Modular is more than just another virtual synthesizer plug-in — it's an entirely new modular synth standard.
Infinitely Expandable
As a Modular owner, the basic system gives you a great toolkit to start out with. It includes six modeled Doepfer modules and over 20 utility modules. But there is much more to discover. Additional modules from quality Eurorack vendors—starting with a range of units from cutting-edge manufacturer Intellijel—are available for separate purchase. More modules will continuously be made available. Owners of Softube's drum synth Heartbeat can add its instrument and EQ modules to Modular and combine them with any other modules. Softube's award-winning engineering team have modeled each analog module, component by component, and the resulting plug-ins are sonically indistinguishable from their hardware counterparts.
Welcome Experts - And Beginners
Experienced Eurorack synth users will be right at home from the start. Modular's workflow is very close to the use of physical Eurorack modular synths. Add modules, connect them using virtual patch cords, adjust their knobs and switches to your heart's desire. Get MIDI connectivity with the MIDI To CV/Gate Converter and add any of the included step sequencers—unless you prefer using your DAW's built-in sequencer, of course.
To beginners, a modular synthesizer can be daunting at first. But Modular offers a wide range of expertly designed presets, immediately available to be put to use in your music. When you are ready to learn more about patching a Eurorack synth, the manual offers step by step patching tutorials that go hand in hand with the included tutorial presets.
Both experts and beginners will enjoy the included Performance modules. These give the user a limited set of knobs and buttons that can be freely assigned to control any parameter on any module in the current patch—making creative tweaking on the fly super easy and accessible for inspired studio production and live performances.
Features Overview:
Mit der Modular Software bietet Softube eine preiswerte Software Variante des Eurorack von Doepfer an. Da die Software sowohl zusammen mit anderen Softube Produkten, als auch als FX Rack genutzt werden kann und darüber hinaus noch reichlich Presets mitbringt, sind der Kreativität kaum Grenzen gesetzt. Tüftler bietet sich die Möglichkeit, die Verkabelung zwischen den einzelnen Modulen, individuell anzupassen, was weitere Klangfarben ergibt.
The following reviews have been placed by customers who also bought this product from us. All reviews are provided through eKomi, Europe's largest independent customer review company.
I have no words , the software is virtually the same as the hardware version , and for quite some time I pondered buying and dial a synth EURO RACK , here is the solution , for me it is perfect .......... Beautiful IDEA I hope that soon other manufacturers eurorack modules will follow this example ...... The purchase is recommended for those who do not have much space in his studio , like me , so this is an excellent solution . I'm happy.......... ***
