Dear Robin,
I want to start a vegetable garden this year. Where do I start?
My advice:
Start small. Find a plot that receives at least 6 hours of full sun a day. It also needs to be a fairly level space.
Next, begin digging out the sod. (This is the hardest part!) Remove as many of the roots as possible. At this point you may choose to add plenty of a good quality garden-blend soil (either bags or have a load delivered), or take your chances with the soil that is there. You can also have your soil tested at your county extension office to determine if anything needs to be added to improve it.
Rake smooth ready to receive seeds or plants.
Your bed can be edged with rocks, bricks, landscape timbers, etc.
Next, determine what you want to plant. I'd suggest starting with lettuce, radishes, a couple of tomato and pepper plants and maybe a couple of herbs. We'll talk about planting lettuce and radishes soon.

Keep it simple, and you'll enjoy some fresh vegetables this summer!

Is HITECH Destined to be a Cybercrime Stimulus Act?
The HITECH Act, part of the economic stimulus bill, is intended to foster electronic medical records systems adoption, but will also introduce security and privacy risks to patient medical and billing data.
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act signed into law by President Obama earlier this year, calls for a $19 billion investment into health care information technology to modernize medical practices with electronic medical records systems (EMRs). The goal is to reduce overall health care costs by luring hospitals and clinicians, which have been slow to adopt EMRs because of their high price and complexity, into this electronic realm with large financial incentives starting in 2011. Any health care provider that has not implemented an EMR by 2016 faces financial penalties through reduced Medicare fees.
One of the keys in this bill to reducing the cost of health care is that physicians could exchange patient data electronically; a physician or hospital cannot obtain the government incentives without demonstrating this capability. The idea is that EMR systems would reduce the number of tests performed because data could be shared easily between physicians across the Internet. However, there is the possibility that this adoption of technology could have an undesired consequence of putting medical data at risk of security and privacy breaches. Think about it: All of your private medical and billing information will be available to any medical practice (there are more than 161,200 in the U.S.) over the Internet. Is the stimulus bill going to foster adoption of technology in health care or end up becoming the cybercrime stimulus act?
To understand the level of risk, it's necessary to grasp the unique environment of health care IT. The average-size hospital manages more than 250 applications, including medical equipment as well as scheduling, billing, laboratory, and surgical applications, all from different vendors. All of these systems can feed data into the EMR with varying security capabilities and compatibility issues. Health care software vendors have not been known for creating or utilizing secure software solutions.
This level of complexity creates an environment that is very difficult to secure and requires all 161,200 medical practices to become information security experts. The number of security professionals working in health care has increased but still is not sufficient to manage this level of increased risk. Most of the larger institutions employ information security staff but this is not affordable or sustainable for the smaller physician practices. Is your doctor qualified to read an intrusion detection log? Should your doctor have to read an intrusion detection log?
There is another issue that compounds the problem. Only about 10 percent of health care providers have adopted EMR systems because of the cost and size of the implementations. With the financial incentives to implement an EMR beginning in 2011 and penalties for noncompliance starting in 2016, the remaining 90 percent of providers have a very slim window to implement complex software installations. How much time will be devoted to developing effective security around these systems? How many information security professionals will be available to build secure communications between these systems?
Heightened portability of health care data poses another problem. It is a well-known fact that the majority of security risks a corporation faces actually reside within the firewall. The health care industry is not immune to the risks posed by the insider threat. People seem to have a heightened level of curiosity about the health care issues of others; how many times have you seen news about celebrities having their medical records compromised while receiving medical care? This problem is usually contained within the hospital where the celebrity received their care, but how will the fact that these records will be available to any health care provider across the country affect our privacy? What if these records are made available around the world? All of the credible EMR systems possess the ability to audit this type of access but it will take an army of auditors to detect these types of privacy violations. I can assure you that no health care provider is prepared for combing through this amount of audit log data.
The implementation of electronic medical record systems has the potential to provide many benefits for both the patient and physician. But EMRs are huge databases of medical and financial information that make them ripe targets for criminal activity and privacy breaches. There are standards available for implementing and configuring these systems to safeguard their vital contents. However, the fact that so many of these systems will be implemented in such a short timeframe increases the risk that they will not be secure. And if these systems are not secure, then HITECH and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act may well become known as the cybercrime stimulus act.

Online Art History Degrees and Careers
Careers in art history involve an in-depth knowledge of visual arts (painting, sculpture, architecture and more) in their historical development and stylistic contexts. Art historians may specialize in a particular artist, genre, period, or other classification. Art history jobs include antiques dealers, advisors, librarians, teachers, curators, gallery owners, architectural conservationists, investors, and appraisers.
Education & Career Opportunities in Art History
Popular art history jobs include postsecondary art teaching positions, archivists, curators, and art appraising. Art history and archival studies degree programs are traditionally required for these positions.
Art history teacher. Art history degrees are required for postsecondary art teaching positions. While bachelor's degrees in art history are the typical starting point, most professors earn a PhD before employment at the postsecondary level. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment outlook between 2008 and 2018 is most favorable for art historians seeking non-tenure track positions or jobs at two-year colleges. In 2009, art historians earned a mean annual salary of $68,230.
Archivists and curators. Archivists ($49,600) and curators ($52,330) need a graduate art history degree and work experience. Many colleges offer classes or training in archival techniques as part of their history, library science, or other degree programs. Some schools offer master's degree programs in archival studies.
Art appraiser. To break into art appraising ($41,840), you need an art history bachelor's degree and an appraisal studies certificate for field specialization. Many schools offer these two programs.

A man who was wrongly pronounced dead after a car crash in India narrowly avoided being cut up in a morgue when doctors realised he was still alive.
Himanshu Bharadwaj's family has claimed a miracle after the pathologist at a hospital in Nagpur detected a pulse just as he was picking up a blade to perform an autopsy.
The patient was resuscitated and rushed to a separate ward in the hospital after the error was realised.
Meanwhile a large crowd gathered outside to protest against the perceived negligence, News18 reports.
Bharadwaj was seriously hurt in a car accident yesterday, after which he was sent to hospital.
His condition worsened and he was declared brain dead – and then medically dead – before being sent for autopsy.
He was resuscitated and rushed to a separate ward in the hospital after the error was realised. Pictured: Bharadwaj in hospital
Dr Gedam, of Chhindwara District Hospital, said the patient's 'respiration was dysfunctional' and his 'pulse was also missing'.
He added: 'However, his respiratory organs began responding this morning.
'At times, in brain dead patients, the heart and the respiratory system stop functioning transiently, which seems to be the case here.
'Himanshu is still brain dead. Thus, we have referred him to Nagpur due to lack of sufficient facilities locally.'
According to the Daily Bhaskar, the man was kept in the mortuary overnight.
The paper reports that he grabbed a sweeper as a means of showing he was still alive.
Bharadwaj's father is said to be a Bank of India manager.

ALERT: Update on Forced Outpatient Commitment in Massachusetts
Forced Outpatient Commitment (commonly referred to as 'Assisted Outpatient Treatment' or 'AOT') is a type of law allowing for individuals to be forced to take psychiatric medications, attend therapy, etc. against their will, even when living in the community. Massachusetts is currently one of only a small handful of states that have refused to implement this type of law. However, in a devastating blow to local advocates, an 'AOT Pilot' was ordered. The decision read as follows:
"The department shall expend not less than $250,000 to develop and implement an assisted outpatient treatment pilot program to treat residents who suffer from serious and persistent mental illness and experience repeated interaction with law enforcement or have a high rate of recurring hospitalization due to their mental illness, either through a voluntary agreement with the resident or by court order mandating that the resident receive the treatment described in this program; provided further, that the department shall report not later than June 1, 2015, to the house and senate committees on ways and means and the joint committee on mental health and substance abuse the progress and results of the pilot program and any identified barriers and challenges to treatment for the aforementioned treatment group."
Read more: ALERT: Update on Forced Outpatient Commitment in Massachusetts
Not Just a Peer Movement
People who have experienced psychiatric diagnosis, been hospitalized, or overcome other major life challenges and who now work or are connected to peer support communities often see themselves as a part of a movement. We've heard that movement be called everything from a 'peer movement,' to a 'recovery movement' to a 'consumer' or 'c/s/x movement.' (c/s/x stands for 'consumer/survivor/ex-patient.') However, all of these frames fall a little bit short.
Our work is a part of something bigger than all that. Yes, our work is about personal healing and moving toward a better life as individuals.
But it is also about oppression, choice, rights and the interconnectedness of all of our human spirits. It is difficult to imagine personal healing without consideration of how others are being treated, or hurt or supported (or not) to have full lives. In fact, much healing has happened in our community precisely by being connected in that way and calling on each other to stop hurting one another and raise each other up.
In truth, our movement is a human rights movement.
What does this mean? It means we not only stand with others who have experienced psychiatric diagnosis, trauma and so on, but also with people who have been wounded and oppressed because of the color of their skin, their gender expression, their sexuality, income, physical abilities and so on. It means our movement seeks to move toward healing and wholeness for anyone who has struggled or been hurt for any reason, not just those who have been challenged by emotional and/or mental distress and/or received services within the mental health system. This is true whether we ourselves have felt good or bad about our experiences (or a mix thereof) in the system, and whether we see our problems as coming from within or outside of our bodies.
It means that when juries failed to indict Darren Wilson or Daniel Pantaleo for the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, we all were wounded in some way. It means that, on November 20th—the national Transgender Day of Remembrance in recognition of all those who have been killed as a result of transphobia—we all were called upon to stand together. These are just two examples of the many.

Generative Design brings topology optimization to Solid Edge
Designers define a specific material, design space, permissible loads and constraints and a target weight, and the software automatically computes the geometric solution. These results can be immediately manufactured on 3D printers, or further refined in Solid Edge for traditional manufacturing.
The benefits of generative design range from lighter components to minimal downstream manufacturing material waste. Also, highly customized complex shapes can result, perfect for casting or today's high-resolution additive manufacturing processes. With generative design, you can create the optimum design between weight and strength, tailored for desired manufacturing processes.

OTTAWA—Business leaders explored how digital disruption is changing companies, government, and people in the context of NAFTA modernization at a one-day conference in Ottawa on June 6.
But in an increasingly data-driven world, the human quality and its need for privacy, security, and convenience cannot be forgotten, according to the panellists at "Digital Disruption—Analog to Algorithm," held at the Bayview Yards innovation centre.
"We want outcomes, we don't want technology," said Gabe Batstone, CEO of artificial intelligence company Contextere.
He was reminded of something a Harvard Business School professor said: "I don't want a quarter-inch drill. I want a quarter-inch hole," Batstone quoted.
As trade tensions heat up between Canada and the United States, the business experts voiced a preference for multilateral trade agreements as opposed to bilateral ones.
In multilateral negotiations, it's not about winning and losing; rather it's about the strengths and weaknesses, said Batstone.
"The nature of the negotiation for trilateral or multilateral is fundamentally different from bilateral," he said, arguing that in a perfect world, there would be a single worldwide trade agreement, and each time it is segmented, a little bit of what is possible would be sacrificed.
"Are we going to work separately, or join together in North America? We should be concerned about China," said Scotty Greenwood, CEO of the Canadian American Business Council (CABC).
Canada is, of course, inextricably linked to the United States, and the modernization of NAFTA to serve the needs of the digital economy is stalling as the fortunes of the agreement wane.
"NAFTA modernization is paused if not dead," said Greenwood.
The CABC's work focused on what a digital chapter in NAFTA should look like, with help from Lena Trudeau of Nuage Strategies. But it may be all for naught.
"The [U.S.] congressional deadline to approve the modernized NAFTA has now passed," Greenwood said. She added that negotiations for "something smaller" will continue behind the scenes, but the opportunity to get Canada, the United States, and Mexico to agree on a new digital chapter is over from a legislative point of view in Washington.
"We have to find another way to bring some of this harmonization," said Trudeau. "How to not just enable, but really promote, the growth of the digital economy in North America."
Like the old Auto Pact, Greenwood suggested that a 2018 "Digital Pact" might be needed. Trudeau said she liked that idea.
One area NAFTA has to address is data residency and sovereignty. Having a freer flow of data is something the tech community has pushed for.
"Physical location of your data does not guarantee the privacy and security of your data," Trudeau said, since data flows through the United States in any case due to the way networks work.
Modernizing Government
The need for NAFTA to address the digital economy is crucial. It can guide governments in modernizing their approaches to the digital economy as well.
It takes the government a long time to adopt technologies, however, said Trudeau.
"It feels like we're a few years behind—the Canadian government specifically," said Trudeau, who also worked for Amazon Web Services.
From her perspective, the problem is the government mentality of "a view different from the status quo is the risk." Government, like business, can't stand still in the way it delivers services and in its understanding of the changing landscape.
The pace with which consumers embrace digital change has quickened. In a presentation given by Sukhmani Dev, vice president of digital solutions at MasterCard, Canada was shown to be very advanced in its adoption of digital technology. Over 80 percent of Canadians carry a smartphone; after Australia, Canada is the next most "mobile-ready" country.
An up-to-date agreement would be an opportunity to be responsive to citizens about their data concerns. And governments using modern tools may change their regulatory approaches for the better.
But in the end, regardless of technological change or digital disruption, it all comes down people and their judgment.
"There's no B2B [business to business]; it's P2P [person to person]. A person writes the cheque," Batstone said.

The last day is reserved mainly for screenings of the award winners and those films that were well received by previous audiences over the week. I began the day with The Sterling World Award Winner "Mugabe and the White African" (****-90 minutes). There have been numerous films over the years dealing with genocide and dictatorships in Africa, both fiction and nonfiction, and viewed from many different perspectives. This one deals with the efforts of the rightful owner of a Zimbabwe farm to, not only retain his property, but also, fight for his life in one of the most politically volatile countries in Africa. Mugabe is Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and the white African is 75-year grandfather and landowner, Michael Campbell. In 2000, the dictator put his land reform program in motion which gave him carte blanche to seize white owned farms under the guise as belonging to the people of Zimbabwe-people who, in many instances, have no knowledge or interest in farming. As a result, the country descended into economic disarray with its citizens suffering from famine, illness, and an inability to produce enough food. Despite employing and caring for hundreds of black workers and their families, Mike has endured years of intimidation from the numerous attempts of the government to gain control of his property. In an effort to retain it, with the aid of his son-in-law, Ben Freeth, he attempts to fight for retention by taking his case to the South African Development Community, an impartial International court which is part of the regional African cooperation of countries. Over the course of a year, the family sees repeated postponements and rescheduling and, in between dates, the family is subjected to even more intimidation & violence in an attempt by the government to discourage them from staying and to vacate their rightfully owned land. The drama doles out suspense by the bucket loads as each court delay brings increasing tension to the family who are attempting to fight for their rights under a dictator who is determined to destroy them. Directors Lucy Bailey and Andrew Thompson, as did Jon Blair, the director of "Dancing With the Devil", have put themselves in direct danger while secretly filming the action (the press is banned in Zimbabwe), making the filmic achievement all the most remarkable. The film plays out like a carefully scripted mystery and Andrew's cinematography is superb making this film well deserving of its award. A truly unforgettable David vs. Goliath story that has worldwide human rights significance involving a fight for justice against one of the most ruthless dictators on the planet.
I slipped into the "October Country" repeat screening to catch the Sterling Short Winner, the Danish "12 Notes Down" (*** ½-27 minutes). Director Andreas Koefoed has made an emotional short that concentrates on Jorgis, an accomplished 14 year-old performer in the Copenhagen Royal Chapel Choir, who learns how to deal with a life changing event. You see, his voice is changing and, despite a storied career traveling all over Europe with the choir, he must now come face-to-face with the reality that, by continuing in the choir, he risks permanent damage to his angelic voice. The final moments of him singing in his last performance is heartbreaking and moving as he realizes that it is time to move on from something that has totally defined him in his short existence. As wonderful as this short is, my pick would have been the stunning Special Jury Mention, "Salt", (see review on SILVERDOCS-Day 4 Below).
Time to take in the Cinematic Vision Award Winner, "Old Partner" (** ½-77 minutes). This small quiet Korean film by first time director Lee Chung-ryoul refers to the old partner of an elderly S. Korean rice Farmer, Mr. Lee. And, no, it isn't Mrs. Lee, his incessantly nagging spouse. The old partner is Mr. Lee's true companion: his ox. The doc takes us to a remote South Korean village where, using old-fashioned tools to farm their trade, the Lees have managed to raise 9 children. Instead of retiring into the sunset, we see Mr. & Mrs. Lee as they continue to toil on their farm with the aid of the old ox that has been with them for over 30 years. Mr. Lee has refused to use modern pesticides for fear it will harm the ox and even works to feed it natural grass instead of man-made feed. He is determined to see him die so that he can bury the animal himself. Mr. Lee has taken such a liking to his 40 year-old "pet" (they usually don't last past age 15) that he refuses to sell the animal to the utter dismay of Mrs. Lee who is constantly bemoaning her fate as a workhorse at this elderly age. In fact, it is her incessant rant over and over that makes the 77 minutes seem a lot longer. You figure out quickly why Mr. Lee is more taken to the ox than to his human partner. However, the doc does take you to a place on earth and a way of life that one would probably never encounter (and for that reason, "Old Partner" gains a half star in my overall rating) while operating at a pace that moves as slowly as that ox-if not slower.
I follow the weakest film I screened this week with one of the strongest. Director Peter Esmonde's fascinating portrait of a sonic inventor and artist extraordinaire: "Trimpin: The Sound of Invention" (****-77 minutes). Trimpin (he doesn't go by any other name), born in 1951, grew up in Germany's Black Forest where he was exposed to sounds of his region's cuckoo clocks and coin-operated musical instruments found in numerous establishments around town. His interest in playing brass instruments as a youth was sabotaged by an allergy condition, but his creative expression was boosted when he immersed himself in "The Harpers Electricity Book for Boys" which introduced him to analog electronics that taught him how to create electronic gadgets from scratch. He has now become a renowned 21st century artist with his installations appearing in museums around the world. And what are these installations? Why, some of the most magical and fun sound works comprising everyday objects-a lot of which were retrieved from junk yards. Trimpin the man is almost as intriguing as his creations. Here is a guy who refuses to have a cell phone, website, or manager, and he's shunned gallery representation while abhorring recorded music and loud speakers! His sounds of preference are all acoustical. And the visuals are as stimulating as the varied sounds he produces. Take the electric guitar installation in Seattle's (his home base) Experience Music Project, a 60-foot tower sculpture of automated self-playing guitars; or a machine that uses tiny hammers to beat inside wooden clogs-which he set up and displayed in The Silver's lobby during the festival (see photos below). Everything he creates starts with an idea and then he goes for it, not knowing if it will work in the end-which for the most part always does. After the requisite background on this multimedia artist, the remainder of the film focused on his experimental project involving the talented string group Kronos Quartet (who did the score for "Requiem for a Dream"). Known for their experimental interpretations of all musical styles from classical to rock (their take on Hendrix's "Foxy Lady" is a perfect example of their talent and reach), it seems the corroboration with Trimpin would be a perfect marriage. We see bits and pieces of their ever changing practice sessions which, in no way, prepare you for the actual performance. In fact, no one could predict the success or failure of the performance, part of which involves the use of toy instruments! The build-up is suspenseful and the actual concert is, well, as successful as the artist of the title. By the end, you will have a smile on your face that you'll swear you could hear. At the Q & A, Peter mentioned that the film will be reshown in the Washington Area at The National Gallery of Art as it makes its way on the festival circuit. A fabulous expose on an amazing artistic genius of our time.
SILVERDOCS is also known for its free outdoor screenings held in the Silver Plaza around the corner from the theater and part of the outstanding retail complex created in downtown Silver Spring. This year's entry was the outstanding 1989 Academy Award winning film about the Apollo program and its astronauts, "For All Mankind", which was presented outside last Friday. Tonight, they showed it inside and followed it with an amazing panel discussion moderated by Washington Post columnist, Joel Achenbach which included the command module pilot of the last Apollo mission (Apollo 16), Ken Mattingly, as well as two Shuttle pilots, Tom Jones and Frank Culbertson. Add in director Al Reinert and you had a session-to-be-remembered by the audience lucky enough to be there. Among the interesting information imparted, Ken mentioned that for all the technology it took to get to the moon, there was more computer power is his watch than on the Apollo and that everyone involved took incredible risks to pull it off. In referring to what he saw outside the command module as it circled the moon, he said that despite the incredible look of the film, nothing could compare or capture what it really looked like. When Joel asked Al to talk about the music in the film, the director said he was surprised to find out that most of the astronauts in the Apollo program brought their own music on cassettes and that portions of the film utilized the actual music they chose to accompany them on their journey. The most compelling part of the discussion was when Frank described what happen on 9/11. He was on the ISS about a month into the mission when he was told by mission control that "they weren't having a very good day down here on earth". As they approached and traveled over Maine that could see smoke 400 miles south over Manhattan. He then mentioned seeing a billowing black column of smoke and realized that it was the collapse of the 2nd tower. On the 2nd pass, which took about 90 minutes, they were closer to D.C. and could see emergency vehicles and a hole in the Pentagon. What was amazing to him was that he happened to be reading Tom Clancy's "The Sum of All Fears" on board at the time and was quite struck by the irony of it all. As for whether or not they should be trying to send man to Mars, Tom stated it was certainly doable in about 25 years because the NASA budget this year is about 18.7 billion dollars-which is only one fortieth of this year's stimulus bill. With small yearly increases in the budget, it could be quite feasible to accomplish this feat down the road.
What better way to wrap up a week's worth of wonderful documentaries then with "Best Worst Movie" (*** ½-93 minutes). And what best worst movie is the title referring to? A wonderful piece of incredibly awful filmmaking from 1992 entitled "Troll 2" (which the festival actually screened as a double bill earlier in the week with some of the original cast members present for the Q& A). From the writing to the production to the acting to the . . . well, you name it, it's awful. What makes this documentary worth seeing is the focus it puts, not so much on the film, but what it has become: a cult phenomenon that is starting to rival the cult status reserved for such "masterpieces" as "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" or "Pink Flamingos". Most people would probably think that most sequels suck. So what's new? As it turns out, "Troll 2" has nothing at all to do with the original forgettable 1986 "Troll" starring Michael Moriarty. This one is about a family who happens upon vegetarian goblins in the town of Nilbog (hey folks: that's GOBLIN spelled backwards) who turn humans into edible vegetables. And there's that witch who uses an ear of corn to seduce her prey. What's even more amusing is that there isn't even a troll in sight in "Troll 2"! That should set everyone up for a film that has been labeled the "Citizen Kane" of bad movies and has been voted the worst movie ever made by IMDB users. Seventeen years later, we see that this extremely low budgeted film with no name actors from Utah (one serious actress has refused to include T2 in her resume or participate in the documentary) has gained such notoriety that there are now parties and sold-out screenings in major markets around the country. BWM rookie director Michael Paul Stephenson played the family's 10-year-old son in T2 and his documentary examines the film's growing popularity as well as his quest to locate the original leads. George Hardy, who plays the father of the family, has thankfully given up his desire to make it in Hollywood to get a day job that pays: he's now a dentist in Alabama, who is tickled pink that he's becoming famous-although not in the way he originally intended. A totally charming dude (one of his fans is his ex-wife!), the good doctor is now traveling around the country to screenings where fans treat him like a rock star. And then you meet the incredibly naïve Italian director, Claudio Fragrasso, and his wife (who wrote the T2 screenplay), who actually believes its new found popularity is due to the fact that people are finally recognizing its true artistic brilliance. We see Claudio attending a screening infuriated that the audience is laughing when it shouldn't and not laughing when they should. He clearly just doesn't get it. And we get to meet several of the cast members, including a now homeless dude who confesses, not surprisingly, that he was stoned during the entire production. The film loses some of its steam about ¾'s of the way through, but overall, this is a compelling look at how an obscure terribly made film can somehow find an appreciative audience-for all the wrong reasons; or maybe for all the right ones-depending on your perspective. Hollywood has yet to figure out the sure-fire formula for success. Sometimes top stars and top money equal disaster (can you say "Ishtar"?). And sometimes a disaster can become a cult hit. This film documents that process and it is quite a hoot to behold!
Final Thoughts
For me, this was clearly one of the strongest SILVERDOCS yet and for those of you who scoff when the word "documentary" is mentioned, take my word that you are missing out on one of the best genres the cinema has to offer! Anyone who reads my takes below on the 21 feature films and 16 shorts I screened and reviewed in this BLOG, not to mention the yearly Guggenheim Symposium that honors a leading documentary filmmaker complete with retrospectives, conferences, special events, and a free outdoor screening, has got to conclude that what this leading festival offers year and year is truly remarkable and totally entertaining and thought provoking. Consider the fact I traveled the world in 8 days visiting such locales as Russia, New York, France, California, England, Florida, Massachusetts, Poland, Cuba, Australia, Mongolia, Oklahoma (o.k., it was at a prison), Louisiana, Japan, D.C., Brazil, New Orleans, Zimbabwe, Denmark, Korea, and even outer space: without ever leaving my seat! And I explored a vast array of human interest topics including prize fighting, family dysfunction and diversity, corporate history, Russian psychiatry, the arts, Hollywood legends, fashion industry, prison rodeos, autism, Hurricane Katrina, Japanese murderous assault on dolphins, D.C. politics, figure skating, drug wars in Rio, plastic surgery, human rights in Zimbabwe, quiet living in the hills of South Korean-just to name a few. And each are covered with story telling and professionalism that are equal to the best mainstream narratives that Hollywood has to offer. Not to mention the fascinating Q & A's with the filmmakers and, in some instances, the subjects of the documentaries. Mucho kudos to Skye Sitney who did a phenomenal job in her first year as Artistic Director (after 3 years as Programming Director) and her staff for screening and bringing such outstanding docs to Silver Spring for the past 8 days. Where else can you be in the presence of filmmaking legends, astronauts, columnists, & even a world class professional athlete all in one location? So if this sounds appealing to you in any way, be certain to circle the 2nd week of June on next year's calendar and regularly visit http://www.siverdocs.com/ to get the latest news and info on what has become one of the leading documentary film festivals on the planet!

Newport, R.I. USA (July 9, 2011) – For the last 24-hours of the Transatlantic Race 2011, light air has persisted for virtually the entire fleet -- frustrating the progress of nearly every boat. Small gains in these conditions can be turned into massive advantages as finding breeze under a patch of cloud or during a rainsquall can deliver huge percentage gains and those few precious miles can mean getting into new breeze, hopefully hours before the opposition.
All of the yachts in the Transatlantic Race 2011 have access to detailed weather forecasts, and global weather models like NOAA's GFS (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Global Forecast System) are great tools for understanding the broad weather pattern. They run, however, at a resolution of 60km and are unlikely to pick up the local effects out in the Atlantic, especially as the fleet encounters land-produced effects. Weather forecasting may have been around for over 100 years, but a sailor's experience is often more reliable than any computer models. A well-known yachting term, 'head out of the boat' is a very poignant factor right now. Finding breeze in these fickle conditions is golden.
Rambler 100, skippered by George David (Hartford, Conn.), looks to be the odds-on favorite for line honors and is expected to cross the finish line at The Lizard, on the south coast of England, around mid-day Sunday, July 10. PUMA Mar Mostro, skippered by Ken Read (Newport, R.I.) has taken a two percent time penalty allowing them to stack sails and is still currently leading IRC Class One on corrected time -- although not the race overall.
Carina, the McCurdy and Rhodes 48 skippered by Rive Potts, Jr. (Essex, Conn.) which started the race on June 26 has that honor (current overall race leader). There will probably be a national holiday in the yacht's hometown if they pull off a win against such esteemed opposition. Unfortunately, Carina was barely making any headway today and still has well over 700 miles to go. Potts and his crew will be praying for more wind and the team will be doing everything they can to find it. While looking to have a win in IRC Class Four sewn up, Carina only needs to average about five and a half knots to see them seriously challenge for the overall title.
In IRC Class Two, Jazz navigator Mike Broughton (Hamble, U.K.) reported via satellite phone this morning to say that they had found a fairly consistent breeze from the northwest and were making good headway. Jazz is a firm favorite for taking class honors and still has an outside chance of taking an overall victory after time correction.
"The boat is immaculately clean, something that the crew all pride themselves in," said Broughton confirming that – apart from the diet -- all is well onboard. "This morning we are enjoying some freeze-dried granola for breakfast, which is definitely our favorite energizer in the mornings. However, every other day we have freeze-dried scrambled egg and I have to say that once we get ashore, I will be happy not to see that particular delicacy for a very long time."
In IRC Cass Three, Zaraffa, the Reichel Pugh 65 skippered by Huntington Sheldon (Shelburne, Vt.), has just over 500 miles to go, along with a virtually unassailable lead in its class. And in the Open Class, Phaedo, skippered by Lloyd Thornburg (St. Barths), has understandably enjoyed the lighter breeze, far more than its heavy weight opponent Maltese Falcon. The Lamborghini orange Gunboat 66 has skipped away some 40 miles ahead of the Perini Navi.
While the end of the race is approaching for the front runners, spare a thought for Mike Hennessey (Mystic, Conn.) and Rob Windsor (East Northport, N.Y.), who are sailing the Class 40 Dragon double-handed and who updated their progress by satellite link.
"In the past 24 hours we have achieved three milestones: We reached the most remote point we will get to in this race: 825 miles to Cape Spear, Newfoundland, to the west and 825 miles to Great Skellig Island, Ireland, to the east and 700 miles to Kap Farvel, Greenland to the north. I have no idea if any of those places even have a port we could get into, but it's nice to know where you would have to bail out to!
"We passed the 1000-mile mark, with 980 some odd miles to go to the finish. We have had our first upwind work of the entire race. Currently slapping our way through short chop on our way east, under gray and cold skies."
Sponsors of the TR 2011 are Rolex, Thomson Reuters, Newport Shipyard, Perini Navi and Peters & May, with additional support by apparel sponsor Atlantis Weathergear.

Consumer groups question Univision deal
The Consumers Union and the Consumer Federation of America Wednesday called on
the Federal Communications Commission to block Univision Communications Inc.'s pending acquisition
of radio group Hispanic Broadcasting Corp. if the deal would create greater
concentration in Spanish-language broadcasting.
"This merger, if approved, could result in a few large corporations obtaining
excessive control over the most important sources of news and information in a
number of communities where the Hispanic population is large enough to support
Spanish-language media outlets," the two groups wrote.
The $2 billion-plus deal would marry HBC, the largest operator of
Spanish-language radio stations, to the owner of the largest Hispanic
broadcast-TV group and cable network.

The Grand River Rafting Company offers three different canoe routes to explore on the Grand River.
Our canoe trips range from 11 kms to 17 kms.
Our canoe routes are in a wilderness setting… with good wildlife viewing. The beauty of the valley is nature unexpected.
The Grand River warms up quickly, averages 1 m in depth, moves about 2-3 kms/hr and has shallow rapids on a stony bottom.
We have you park at the end point… equip everyone with gear and map, then shuttle upstream to the start point. At the start point you get your boat, then take as long as you like paddling back to your vehicle. At the end point, our staff helps you off the river.. and you walk 400 m to your vehicle. Easy as that!
The Cambridge route is 17 kms with a variety of quiet strips and easy rapids… not suggested for beginners because of length. The cost is $75 plus $10 per person plus HST… Learn More.
The Glen Morris to Paris is 11 kms and has more faster moving water on it. Beginners can do it… good to travel with someone experienced. The cost is $65 plus $10 per person plus HST… Learn More
The Paris to Brant Park is 13 kms… good for all skill levels. The cost is $65 plus $10 per person plus HST… Learn More.
If wishing to rent a canoe by the hour… we have canoe rentals available at Brant Park Conservation Area. Cost is $20 per canoe for the 1st hour, $15 per hour after that… Learn More.

Price includes boat, life jackets, paddles, bailer kits, dry bag, complimentary shuttle ride upstream, free park access and Blue Canoe Vouchers for discounts on food and services with nearby merchants.
With canoeing… you can go on your own with a map… or hire an interpretive guide to travel with you down the Grand. A guide is $150 plus HST.
Basically we look after everything… you just bring yourselves and your lunch.
With us, your safety is more important then your money. If water temperatures are below 10 C, we will not put canoes out, because if the boat tips there is a hypothermia risk.
We want you to enjoy your trip… not endure it!

Old-world charm meets tropical chic at 1927 – SO/ Sofitel Singapore's rooftop pool & bar.
SO/ Sofitel Singapore is delighted to introduce its latest crown jewel – 1927 – a destination rooftop cocktail bar and pool in the hotel's iconic neo-classical building, which was built in 1927. Inspired by the cosmopolitan character and tropical essence of Singapore, the bar introduces an exclusive specially curated collection of contemporary equatorial cocktails.
Drawing inspiration from tropical Singapore and the rich history of its heritage-listed building, 1927 blends old-world recipes with modern mixology techniques and inspired local ingredients to bring a contemporary touch to yesteryear favourites. The menu reflects the evolution of the tropical cocktail since the 'Golden Era' of the 1920s and 1930s and is categorised into three broad collections: Equatorial Classics (1930s-50s), Contemporary Classics (late 1990s-2000s) and Contemporary Equatorial (house signatures).
Traditional recipes in the Equatorial Classic and Contemporary Classic collections are re-engineered with contemporary flair, while the Contemporary Equatorial collection, exclusive to 1927, is crafted with fine spirits, aromatic house-made bitters, premium liqueurs and sodas. Highlights and crowd-pleasers include Tiki Time Bomb (S$22), Beet Me Up Scotty (S$23) and #Hashtag Frosé (S$26). Departing from the bar-food convention, 1927 features an exquisite menu pairing selection with dishes designed to enhance the flavours of the cocktails including Portobello Carpaccio (S$14), Snapper Ceviche ($15) and Beef Po'Boy (S$17).
A charismatic rooftop lounge area sporting dashes of tropical chic, 1927 features custom-made signature sofas and chairs that add elegance, style and comfort for a complete experience of the senses. The venue is further decorated with brightly-coloured cushions with botanical prints and outdoor planters to enhance relaxation after a hard day's work or exploring of the island. Guests can luxuriate on the laid-back loungers awash in sunlight and fabric-swathed cabanas, or take a dip in the refurbished infinity pool that offers city skyline views. The patio is also equipped with the latest state-of-the-art technology, including an 8-feet ultra large screen with projector and modern audio systems, transforming the area into a cutting-edge event space suitable for corporate events, pool parties or fabulous launches.

Face Consultants, part of the CoGri Group of companies have carried out a range of testing services for an outdoor velodrome on behalf of Carmarthenshire County Council.
The historic outdoor track was first built in 1900, and like other outdoor velodromes in the UK has deteriorated in recent years. Carmarthenshire County Council has since allocated over £500,000 for a new safety surface along with perimeter fencing.
"Floor testing of screeds, overlays and coatings is one of our core services and equates to about 30% of our projects," said Duane Scarfe, Quality & Operations Manager for Face Consultants Ltd
"It's fantastic to be part of this project, a unique situation for us. We've done testing on race tracks and Drag Strips (overseas) as well as the more usual industrial or commercial floor but this is the first outdoor velodrome for us," said Duane.
Carmarthenshire County Council had prepared five sample materials at the site that required testing.
The team at Face Consultants carried a number of tests which included: Adhesion (pull off tests) to see how well the coatings were bonded to the substrate, Skid resistance tests, using a Pendulum Skid Tester to assess the skid resistance of the alternate surfaces, Accelerated abrasion resistance tests (AART) to assess the different materials resistance to abrasion. The results of the tests were then sent back to Carmarthenshire County Council who will now make a decision on the safest topping to install.
"It's great to be part of such a historic project and this one shows how dynamic our testing services are. We wish Carmarthenshire County Council every success with the next phase of this project." Concluded Duane Scarfe.
Face Consultants are global experts in floor flatness surveys, testing services, concrete slab design and consultancy services. Contact them now on +44 (0) 1484 600090 or at email@example.com to discuss your flooring needs.
Please contact us if you have any questions about our floor testing or design & consultancy services.

The Piper PA-23, named Apache and later Aztec, is a
four-to-six-seat twin-engine light aircraft aimed at the general
aviation market. The United States Navy and military forces in other
countries also used it in small numbers. The PA-23 was the first twin-engine Piper
aircraft, and was developed from a proposed "Twin Stinson" design,
inherited when Piper bought the Stinson Division of the Consolidated
Vultee Aircraft Corporation. The prototype PA-23 was a four-seat
low-wing all-metal monoplane with a twin tail, powered by two 125 hp
Lycoming O-290-D piston engines; it first flew on 2 March 1952. The
aircraft performed badly and it was redesigned with a single vertical
stabilizer and an all-metal rear fuselage and more powerful 150 hp
Lycoming O-320-A engines. The same year, Piper produced an upgraded
version with 250 hp (186 kW) Lycoming O-540 engines and a swept vertical
tail as the PA-23-250, and named it Aztec. [Wikipedia]

Suit carriers for the wedding season
- Posted on
It's looking smug that's the problem. One can't, when one has put ten bob on the right nose or completed an unlikely inside straight in a high-stakes game of hold 'em, for example, help feeling a little pleased with oneself from time to time. The trick is not letting it show.
It is a fine problem to have, however, and one you will be sure to experience when you discover the simple joys of a suit carrier (if you haven't already). When it comes to weddings and race meetings, there's no easier way to get where you're going and back with all the necessary kit well-organised, clean and crease free.
Picture the poor fellow labouring under all those overnight bags, his fingers turning an alarming shade of blue thanks to flimsy hangers provided by the dry-cleaners on which his morning suit barely hangs. He arrives swathed in polythene, his shirts, ties and suits on separate hangers, and his shoes – oh good Lord! – they're still on the train!
One sympathises. One has been there. One knows the feeling. But then one equipped oneself with a sturdy suit carrier wrought of water-repellant, 16-ounce canvas with a smart, waxed-leather trim.
And one has never looked back.

Maple Tree
The Maple Tree is a type of tree. You can grow one by planting a Maple Seed, it has a 20% chance to grow to its next stage each day, except in Winter. On average, it takes about 18-32 days to reach full growth. Be cautious of placing items near a tree while it's growing, if items are too close the growth process will halt.
You can tap the Maple Tree to obtain Maple Syrup.
If you shake or chop down a Maple Tree in the Fall, you have a chance to receive a Hazelnut.
