Learn more about Hawthorn Hill.
The property on which Hawthorn Hill sits was originally part of a 400-acre land grant given to Charles Carter by Neil McLaughlin on December 1, 1792. According to a land deed filed on June 2, 1810, Carter formally deeded 208 acres of his land to John Bearden. It is rumored that Bearden is the one who had Hawthorn Hill built, but no documentation evidence has been found to support this. On March 3, 1817, Bearded deeded his 208 acres to Colonel Humphrey Bate. Col. Bate was a veteran of the War of 1812, having served with Troop No. 3 of the Tennessee Volunteer Calvary led by Colonel John Coffee in the Natchez Expedition of 1812.
Col. Bate moved into the house with his first wife Elizabeth Pollack Brimage Bate and their two sons, James Henry and Thomas West. Three years after moving into the house, Elizabeth passed away on November 23, 1820. On September 9, 1821, Col. Bate married his second wife, Anne Franklin Weatherred. Together they had nine children: Mary Eliza Spivey (1823-1883), Eugenia Patience (1826-1906), Willa Anne (1828-1859), William George Weatherred (1831-1912), Agnes Elizabeth (1834-1920), Amanda Malvina (1836-1872), Henry Clay (1839-1917), Humphrey Howell (1844-1911), and Aaron Spivey (1846-1863).
On September 1, 1856, Col. Bate died at the age of 77 and was buried in the family cemetery to the west of the house. Ownership of the house then passed to his wife, Anne Bate. According to the 1860s Tennessee Slave Census records for Sumner County, Anne Bate owned seven enslaved persons, four men and three women ranging in age from 1-54. A drawing done by Nancy Hunt, a member of the Bate family, show the property at one point had at least 3 slave cabins located to the east of the main house. Anne Bate died on April 1, 1875 and was buried in the family cemetery. In her will she left the house to her two eldest sons William George Weatherred Bate and Henry Clay Bate. However, the house ended up under the ownership of the third eldest son, Col. Humphrey Howell Bate, Sr., M.D.
Col. Humphrey Howell Bate, Sr., was born February 1, 1844 at Hawthorn Hill. At the age of 17, he entered the Civil War and served as a private in Company K of the 2nd Tennessee Infantry Regiment. He was wounded on April 6, 1862, through the neck, left shoulder, right leg, and left knee joint at the Battle of Shiloh. On July 19, 1864, he was discharged on disability and returned to Sumner County. Bate Sr.'s brother Col. Henry Clary Bate, Sr., also fought in the Civil War along with a cousin, General William Brimage Bate, who would later become governor of Tennessee.
In 1866, Humphrey entered medical school at the University of Nashville and he graduated in 1868; afterward he returned home to Sumner County where he practiced medicine from a medical office he had added to Hawthorn Hill. Col. Humphrey Howell Bate, Sr., passed away on June 8, 1911, and ownership of the house was transferred to Bate's wife, Nancy, and their two children, Anne (Annie) Bate Brown and Dr. Humphrey Howell Bate, Jr.. Annie and Dr. Bate each gained half ownership of the property after their mother's death on March 4, 1925. Two months later, Dr. Bate relinquished his half of the property to his sister, Annie, but he continued to live in Castalian Springs where he practiced medicine from his house on Old Highway 25 E, half a mile west of Hawthorn Hill.
Dr. Humphrey Howell Bate, Jr., had been born at Hawthorn Hill on May 15, 1875, and as a child he showed an interest in music after a former slave taught him some songs on the harmonica. Dr. Bate continued to hone his skills on the instrument, performing on the steamboats that ran up and down the Cumberland River. Many different music genres from classical to folk music influenced Dr. Bate, helping him create a trademark eclectic sound. His band, "The Possum Hunters," followed a Middle Tennessee string band tradition that emphasized the dual lead of both the harmonica and the fiddle.
Dr. Bate initially sought a career far removed from the Grand Ole Opry. He received a medical degree from the University of Nashville Medical School (later part of Vanderbilt University Medical School), where he graduated in 1897. Dr. Bate served in the Medical Corps during the 1898 Spanish-American War; after the war he returned home to Sumner County and took over his father's medical practice in Castalian Springs. He practiced medicine his entire life, even after his musical career flourished.
Even as a practicing physician, Dr. Bate kept performing. In 1899, he entered his string band into a local music contest, but did not give consistent attention to his music career until the 1920s. By 1925, his band "The Possum Hunters" had a set membership with Dr. Bate on the harmonica; Burt Hutcherson and Stanley Walton on guitar; Oscar Albright on bowed strings bass; Dr. Bate's son Buster on guitar, tipple, harmonica, and Jew's harp; Walter Ligget on banjo; and Oscar Stone on the fiddle. Dr. Bate's daughter, Alcyone, added vocals along with playing the ukulele and piano. In 1925, Band and his band began performing on the newly established country radio station WDAD based out of Nashville. In October 1925, Dr. Bate and his band, along with Uncle Dave Macon, played a benefit show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and the show was broadcast over WSM one week before the arrival of George D. Hay and three weeks before Uncle Jimmy Thompson broadcast on the station.
By 1926, Dr. Bate had become a regular on the "barn dance" program that would later become the Grand Ole Opry. While Dr. Bate's band is not considered one of the founders of the Grand Ole Opry, the music that they produced was vital to the development of the show and influenced several other artists such as the Crook Brothers and Uncle Dave Macon. Shortly after Dr. Humphrey Bate and the Possum Hunters debuted on the Opry (and the band's name was picked by "Judge" George D. Hay), the band signed a recording contract with Brunswick and the group rose in fame, often opening for the set of the Grand Ole Opry. Dr. Bate and the Possum Hunters were considered the "darlings" of the early Opry and helped to increase the popularity of the show.
George D. Hay considered called Dr. Bate "Dean" of the Opry because of Dr. Bate's keen ear for good music and his ability to recruit new artists that helped to expand the Opry's repertoire. Dr. Bate made use of large orchestras that featured popular individual soloists and through the larger orchestras Dr. Bate formed smaller groups such as the Crook Brothers. An appreciation for a variety of different genres pushed Dr. Bate to consider up-and-coming artists and give them exposure. Among those recruited were DeFord Bailey, an African American harmonica player who later gained the name "The Harmonica Wizard." Dr. Bate's love for music allowed him to look past racial and gender barriers. Dr. Bate was responsible for bringing a man named Bailey to play the Opry, who was the first African American man to do so, and Dr. Bate's daughter Alcyone was the first female to play on the show thanks to Dr. Bate.
Dr. Bate recorded over 130 songs that included titles like, "Throw the Old Cow Over the Fence," "Ham Beats All Meats," and "Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight." Early in 1936, Dr. Bate began to suffer from heart issues, but refused to give up the Opry, telling Hay, "It is my wish to die in harness." His heart problems worsened and he died on June 12, 1936, following a massive heart attack. After his death, the Possum Hunters continued to perform, who kept the band going until the 1960s.
Dr. Humphrey Howell Bate, Jr., stands as one of the most important contributors to the early growth of country music. His accomplishments as a leader, recruiter, and musician allowed him to be a guiding figure in the development of the Grand Ole Opry. The experiences that Dr. Bate gained while growing up in Castalian Springs assisted him in guiding the development of his early musical interests.

text: A more appropriate name for this material is "spent mushroom compost". You can still see pieces of straw and manure. The SMC has gone thru a partial composting process and is a predigested and fungal-decomposed organic matter. Anyways, gardeners around these parts love SMC. It might be a combination of the nutrients, organic matter, and fungal components that it provides.... whichever, gardens respond to SMC and it improves soil conditions. The price they are charging is a bargain. You can spread plenty of volume -- a 2+ inch top dressing -- then till it into your garden soil. The ingredients are all natural. Maybe you are saying that the feedstock ingredients originate from conventional agriculture rather than organic farms.

tool is designed to use determine the quality of a specific HIV
sequence. The sequence is analyzed for contamination
using BLAST with both public (GenBank) and personal (unpublished
sequences) sequence databases. Sequence translational
problems (such as
frame shift and stop codons mutations) are identified
using complete genome and the proteome of the HIV-1 reference sequence
This program will allow you to compare an HIV sequence to a GenBank
database of all published sequences and/or a user database of sequences
(e.g. sequences generated in the same laboratory or country). The
comparison between query sequences and databases is performed by BLAST.
The BLAST results are used to define the level of identity between the
query sequences and the database sequences. A cut off of 98% identity
is used to suggest that the query sequence is not unique and can be
caused by contamination in the laboratory with previous published or
local strains of HIV-1.

Find the Right Size
Air conditioning size is one of those times when size really matters! If you choose a unit that's too small it will have to work continuously to try to cool the space while leaving you sweating. So then, you would think that bigger is better, right? Unfortunately, that's not the case. If you're thinking that unlike the too small unit, the big one will only have to run a little to cool my house, your right, it will run less and your house will be cooler but it will also be clammy and being cold and clammy is not an improvement! If the unit is too large for the space it will turn on in short bursts they cycle off. This is known as short cycling. The problem with this is that the condenser spends so much time off that the coils don't get cold enough for long enough to condense the humidity from the air. An undersized unit will do the opposite. It runs almost continuously and that will allow the system to dehumidify the space but it won't be able to adequately cool, leaving the space dry and warm. Either way, too big or too small, you're looking at being uncomfortable and shortening the life of your equipment.
You can see why it's so important to select properly sized equipment. The best way to do this is, of course, to have a licensed professional visit the location to properly calculate for size and load. Anyone can calculate size but load is another matter! Let's start with defining load. Load is the amount of cooling / heating BTUs a system needs to product to make the space comfortable. Some of the factors that influence load are the climate you're in, construction, layout and orientation of the building, size and number of windows and doors, quality of insulation and even number of people who will occupy the rooms. You'll hear the term "manual J" tossed around and here's what that is, it's a trademarked publication by the ACCA (Air Conditioning Contractors of America) that covers the method for calculating load. While these calculations are generally done by HVAC professionals, you may want to gather your own information and a good place to do that is online at free sites that calculate load using Manual J such as loadcalc.net. Be prepared to do lots of measuring before you get your answers.
As HVAC professionals, we believe in getting a professional to do the calculations but as consumers we understand how important it is to do your own research. For that purpose, we are including some handy calculations and BTU chart. The method to calculate size need based on square footage is as follows (remember this is a rough estimate):
* First list each room or space being cooled.
* Then calculate the square footage of each room.
Do this by measuring the length and the width of each space and multiply the two numbers.
* Next find the BTUs needed for each room. There are numerous mathematical equations out there for doing this
but it's a lot easier to just use the chart below which is provided by energystar.gov.
* Write down the BTUs for each room, space or hallway.
* Now you have to factor in some of those load aspects
* If the room in very shady subtract 10%
* If the room is very sunny add 10%
* If it's a kitchen add 4000
* Calculations are based on 2 people, so add 600 for each person over 2
* Last step is to add up all your BTUs.
Now that you have figured that out you will probably want to convert this to tons. One ton is equal to 12,000 BTUs so to convert your total BTUs just divide it by 12,000. So if you have total of 57000 BTUs, it comes out to 4.75, so you will need a 5 ton unit.
|Room to be cooled (Square Feet)
|BTUs needed
|100 up to 150
|150 up to 250
|250 ups to 300
|300 up to 350
|350 up to 400
|400 up to 450
|450 up to 550
|550 up to 700
|700 up to 1000
|1000 up to 1200
|1200 up to 1400
|1400 up to 1500
|1500 up to 2000
|2000 up to 2500

The 23rd Rubber Conference and International Workshops organisd by the Indian Rubber Manufacturers Research Association (IRMRA) concluded in Mumbai on December 15, 2018 with a call by experts to raise the quality of research and development in the rubber sector so as to enable the Indian rubber industry to achieve its full growth potential.
The two-day event also marked the conclusion of the year-long Diamond Jubilee celebrations of IRMRA. IRMRA, which stepped into its 60th year of existence on January 13, 2018, conducted a series of events, networking and promotions pan India throughout the year to mark its Diamond Jubilee.
The latest edition of the Rubber Conference with the focal theme, Emerging Trends in Rubber Material Technology, Testing and Analysis for Future Generation, was organized in collaboration with French Rubber and Plastics Research and Testing Laboratory (LRCCP), Paris. LRCCP, France is an advanced research and testing institute since past 70 years.
Inaugural function
The inaugural ceremony was conducted in the presence of D Anandan IAS, Chairman and Executive Director, Rubber Board, India, Dr Patrick HEUILLET, R & D Director of LRCCP, Dr S S Gupta, Senior Development Officer, Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP), Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Govt. of India, Vikram Makar, President, All India Rubber Industries Association (AIRIA), Vinod Simon, Chairman, Rubber Skill Development Council (RSDC), Rajendra V Gandhi, President, IRMRA, Dr. K. Rajkumar, Director, IRMRA, and a host of other industry professionals.
Speaking on the occasion, D.Anandan, who was the Chief Guest of the function, observed that the rubber industry value chain in India produces items worth Rs 900 billion annually with an annual export of Rs 210 billion. "There is vast potential for the industry to grow in terms of range of products, value additions, technology upgradations, quality enhancement and employment generations," he said.
Hailing the services of IRMRA to the Indian rubber industry, especially MSME dominated non-tyre rubber goods sector, he said IRMRA has played an important role in the development of a range of value-added rubber products for both domestic and export markets.
"The main focus of research and development should be substituting the toxic compounding additives and fillers in rubber product manufacturing. Sustainability of natural resources is a global concern and positive environmental properties have become an important attribute of the acceptance of the product even if the price is premium. The industry also should take a note of upcoming norms and regulations," he added.
Pat for IRMRA
R V Gandhi recalled the contributions of past Presidents of IRMRA including late L. Jamnadas, Dr. D. Banerjee, S.V.Lathia, D. Bose, W.G.Desai etc who worked with the biggest visionary K. M. Philip, the doyen of Indian rubber industry. "K. M.Philip had an association with the rubber industry for over 50 years, out of which he served IRMRA as the President for 28 years. He was instrumental in getting government support for IRMRA to set up a Tyre Testing Centre. Under the subsequent leadership of Onkar S. Kanwar and Dr. Raghupati Singhania, the organisation rose to greater heights," he said.
Today IRMRA provides major services such as testing, evaluations, certifications, sponsored research, development of new products, third party inspections, consultancy etc to the Indian rubber industry.
Gandhi stressed the need to improve the quality of R&D in the rubber sector. "India has the potential to be a leading player in the global rubber industry. The country exports $2.4 billion worth of rubber goods, which is just 8% of the global rubber export market. Continuous innovations, R&D and skill development are key factors that will help to achieve the potential," he added.
"IRMRA was started to promote research and scientific work for the benefit of rubber and other allied industries. And to fulfill those objectives, IRMRA regularly organizes such conferences, and this 23rd conference is one of them," added Dr Rajkumar.
Vinod Simon shared the details of RSDC's ambitious project to reskill over one million people in the industry.
During the inaugural ceremony, goodwill messages from dignitaries, including a video message from Suresh Prabhu, Union Minister of Commerce & Industry, were screened. A coffee table book depicting the 60-year journey of IRMRA was also released on the occasion along with the conference souvenir.
Eminent speakers
The conference hosted more than 40 technical papers from national and international speakers focusing on emerging trends and developments in various areas of rubber technology. The speakers were a unique blend of leading scientists, researchers, industry professionals and emerging scientists from leading institutions.
They included Prof.Anil K. Bhowmick. Professor of Eminence, Rubber Technology Centre, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, Dr. R K Jain, Expert member, UNIDO, Dr. Patrick HEUILLET, Dr.Amit Das, Prof. Chinnapan Bhaskar, Prof. Santanu Chattopadhyaya etc. To encourage upcoming researchers and scientists, IRMRA provided them a platform to present their papers.
The Best Paper Awards were given to Sujit Sharma , Rubber Technology Center, IIT Khargapur, for his paper "Simulation of extrusion dies for rubber profile", and to A. K. Pandey, DMSRDE, Kanpur, Ministry of Defence, who presented a paper titled "Role of core shell modified conducting carbon fillers on dielectric properties of silicone elastomer."
There were international workshops on topics such as Non Linear Finite Element Analysis of Materials, Benchmarking & Formula Reconstruction of Rubber Products, Failure Investigations of Rubber Products, Recent Trends in Global Tyre Regulations & India's Perspective, Environmental Sustainability through Use of Bio-based Alternatives in Rubber Industry, Environmental Sustainability through Science-based Approaches etc.
The 23rd Rubber Conference and International Workshops organisd by the Indian Rubber Manufacturers Research Association (IRMRA) concluded in Mumbai on December 15, 2018 with a call by experts to raise the quality of research and development in the rubber sector so as to enable the Indian rubber industry to achieve its full growth potential.

Watch Lily James as a Young Meryl Streep in the 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' Trailer
Based on the popular ABBA jukebox musical, Mamma Mia! The Movie was a smash hit back in 2008. Despite its mixed reviews (54% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes) and modest opening, the adaptation of the stage production was a steady success in theaters, ultimately grossing $144 million in North America and $600 million worldwide. Ten years later, a sequel is on its way and the first trailer has just arrived online.
Mamma Mia!: Here We Go Againreturns to the island of Kalokairi with more ABBA tunes to sing (though the spot below features three favorites from the original that will likely be reprised) and a backstory to tell, as mother Donna shares more on her romances with Sophie's possible dads Sam, Harry and Bill, and we get to see it all play out in lengthy flashback form.
Watch the trailer below.
Who is back for the sequel?
Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried return as mother and daughter Donna and Sophie, while Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgard reprise their respective roles as Sam, Harry and Bill. Christine Baranski and Julie Walters are also back as Donna's friends Tanya and Rosie, and Dominic Cooper returns as Sophie's husband, Sky.
Who is playing the ensemble in the past?
Lily James (Cinderella) is portraying young Donna, while Jeremy Irvine (War Horse), Hugh Skinner (Les Miserables) and Josh Dylan (Allied) respectively play young Sam, young Harry and young Bill. Jessica Keenan Wynn (off-Broadway's Heathers: The Musical) and Alexa Davies (TV's Harlots) are the younger versions of friends Tanya and Rosie.
Are there any other cast additions?
There sure are. Andy Garcia will appear in a secretive role for which no details are known, and none other than legendary diva Cher — who makes a glamorous intro at the end of the trailer — is playing Donna's mother, Ruby.
Does it have the same director?
No, the new movie is written and directed by Ol Parker, whose screenplays include The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and its sequel and who helmed the 2005 romantic comedy Imagine Me & You and the 2012 romantic drama Now Is Good. Parker's script for Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is based on a story he conceived with the original's writer, Catherine Johnson, and Richard Curtis (Love Actually).
What is known of the plot?
Very little, outside of the basic prequel-ish premise.

Jury comment
A familiar Queensland worker's cottage has been transformed into a luscious, planted oasis. John Ellway has deftly exploited the site's natural fall by inserting living spaces underneath the raised original cottage. This move has deconstructed the classic verandah arrangement to create a wonderful, breezy and vine-covered entry and external vertical circulation.
The design of the Terrarium House is attuned to its subtropical climate, promoting cross-ventilation with a sunken living space protected from the harsh Queensland sun. The compactness of the house is its triumph; circulation flows seamlessly from one space to another and not one inch is wasted, with notable Japanese influences. A double-height space above the dining area gives the impression of space, without deterring from the intimacy and warmth of the home.
This alteration and addition has been put together with care and finesse in a careful contextual response. There is restraint in its execution, and the design enhances the delight taken in everyday rituals.
See full image galleries of all the winning and shortlisted projects here.
The award for House Alteration and Addition under 200m2 is supported by Asko.

'Mile 8' named as finalist for cookbook 'Oscars'
Mile 8, the inspirational biographical cookbook by acclaimed Chef David Higgs, was recently named as a finalist at the 24th Gourmand World Cookbook Awards held in Macau, China.
The awards, which were first introduced in 1995 at Frankfurt Book Fair, are widely recognised as the Oscars in gastronomy. Mile 8 was nominated in the category of "Best Cookery Book Written by a Restaurant Chef".
"To be listed as a finalist is an incredible honour, especially against Mirazur which has just been voted as the number one restaurant in the world," says Higgs. "It's a tribute to the team who worked on this book with me."
The number one spot was awarded to Ireland's Brian McDermott for his book Donegal Table. Alongside Higgs and McDermott, the list of finalists for the award included, from Argentina: Mirazur, Mauro Colagreco (Catalpa); from Belgium: Gert De Mangeleer Unplugged (Lancaster); from France: La Cuisine de Guy Legay, Henri Bouniol (De Boree); from Hong Kong: Chicken and Charcoal, Matt Abergel, Lindsay Jang (Phaidon) and from Singapore: A Dash of Szechwan, Chen Kentaro (Marshall Cavendish).
Mile 8 first landed on shelves in November 2018. It features over 90 dishes and 150 recipes influenced by the journey of Higgs' career, Mile 8 is a culinary adventure bringing together the unique and interesting flavours of Southern Africa.
Impala Tartare, Snoek & Apricot, Amadumbe & Chakalaka, and his version of the classic Malva Pudding are just some of the delights to be found in this wonderfully illustrated book.
"Writing this book was quite an emotional experience, and it reminded me of so many stories from my childhood, and things I had forgotten about," says Higgs. "It's lovely to be able to share this with people and tell stories as they are. It's also great to give everyone a real peak into the 'behind the scenes' of a professional kitchen."
* Mile 8 is available from leading national book retailers and from Marble.

Evolving Risk Landscape
Rapidly evolving environmental, technological, social, and business factors are transforming the risk landscape for the insurance industry and its customers. Emerging risks in insurance have deep-seated implications that demand immediate industry attention.
Risk landscape evolution drivers can be broadly classified into five macro trends – disruptive environmental patterns, technological advancements, evolving social and demographic trends, new medical and health concerns, and the changing business environment. All these global macro trends are either sparking new risks or driving changes in the very nature of existing risks faced by the industry.
World Insurance Report 2019
As new risks are impacting the insurance landscape, the World Insurance Report 2019 from Capgemini and Efma explores the opportunity for insurers to develop new, technologically-advanced products to provide comprehensive risk coverage and better manage shifting customer expectations.Download now

Mars competition got excited
On Thursday, Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg appeared on CNBC and discussed the new rocket the company has developed that will be assembled soon and also offered a claim he's made in the past. "Eventually we're going to go to Mars and I firmly believe the first person that sets foot on Mars will get there on a Boeing rocket," Muilenburg said.
Elon Musk simply reacted to Muilenburg's challenge with a tweet saying, "Do it".
Musk believes that SpaceX could start landing spaceships on Mars as early as 2022, while Muilenburg said yesterday that Boeing's own next generation rockets would be tested starting in 2019.

I saw Chico Perales at the Coffee House when I stopped by to say goodbye to some friends. It is very easy to loose track of time in Antarctica as one day runs into the next. It is light 24 hours a day during the austral summer, so it comes as no surprise to see people out walking around McMurdo past the midnight hour. Despite the early morning hour, the temperature was unbelievably warm for this time of year. It was a light jacket and baseball cap type of day. After many flight cancellations, today looks promising for my departure home. My flight was first scheduled for 1 a.m. on December 13th. For days, I have been scheduled to be on the first flight off the Pegasus runway. (The Pegasus Runway, which is on a glacier on the Ross Ice Shelf, had to be "dug out" and compacted after the blizzard). Since this would be my last opportunity, I wanted to walk down to the Discovery Hut at the end of the Hut Point Peninsula. Chico, who has come nine times to Antarctica, gave me an informative tour as we walked near the ice pier enroute to the Hut. Chico's perspective of Antarctica comes out in his "Spanish Word for the Day" e-mails, as well as in his penguin comic strip in the weekly newspaper, The Antarctic Sun . Chico is from El Paso, Texas, but he has traveled extensively around the United States working in heavy construction. He has been involved with building nuclear plants and paper mills. He is a "jack-of-all trades" working as a welder, iron and sheet metal worker, foreman, and doing whatever needs to be done. He said he rebuilds things that don't work by brainstorming to get new ideas. Chico has a wealth of knowledge , so the walk became a history lesson. It was a wonderful way to begin my last day in Antarctica.
The historic Discovery hut, within an easy walking distance from the McMurdo Research Station on Ross Island, is situated at the end of a promontory known as Hut Point (77degrees 51' S latitude, 166 degrees 38 ' E longitude). The building was erected during Robert Falcon Scott's Discovery expedition, but was also used by subsequent expedition parties, including Ernest Shackleton's. Some expeditions used it primarily for drying tents or making repairs, while some expeditions used the building for accommodations and shelter from the extreme cold weather. To learn more about this building and other historic sites near this region, I found David Harrowfield's Icy Heritage, Historic Sites of the Ross Sea Region to be quite informative. The descriptions and photos give a greater understanding of this region and the hardships endured by these early explorers during what is known as the "heroic era" of exploration in Antarctica.
The cross in memory of G.T. Vince is located near Discovery hut on the cliff overlooking the sea. On March 11, 1902, Vince drowned tragically as his fur boots lost traction on the ice during a blizzard near Castle Rock. As he tried to make his way back to Discovery (his ship), he slipped off an ice cliff into the sea. Vince was the first person to die in McMurdo Sound, and the cross is a reminder of the vulnerability and hardships faced by the early Antarctic explorers. It is also a reminder that safety and precautions are still a concern for those working in Antarctica today. Despite the advanced technology, equipment, gear, and shelter, Antarctica is very much in control. The weather conditions may change within seconds, so hand-held radios and survival gear are imperative for venturing outdoors in Antarctica. Communication checks are required when leaving McMurdo Station for even a brief field trip. While in our field camp at Explorers Cove, a "com" check was made to McMurdo Operations at the same time each morning. A hand-held radio was always carried to the dive hut or to dive holes on the sea ice. Constant contact and adhering to "strict scheduled" times for departure or returns to the field camp were essential in maintaining safety in such an unpredictable environment. Antarctica is still today a great white unknown. It is a land of constant surprises, and one that humbles, frustrates, yet exhilarates…as it leaves one feeling so fortunate to experience one of the last great "wilderness frontiers".
Chico Perales looking out over the sea ice near the cross at the end of the Hut Point Peninsula.
I met Randy Landsberg (Director of Education and Outreach for CARA) and Vivian Trakinski (with the American Museum of Natural History) in McMurdo upon their return from the South Pole. We first met at the "bag drag" on December 12th, when we checked our luggage for our flight to Christchurch, New Zealand. Since we were scheduled to leave on the same flight, we had several occasions to talk as we checked the flight board, which became a "daily ritual" for flight cancellations. (Photos of the blizzard: See December 15th journal entry). Today is December 20th, and we think this flight may actually depart as scheduled. It was a pleasure to meet this group and learn more about their project. I was already aware of CARA (Center for Astrophysical Research in Antarctica) before I came to Antarctica. In 1997, Randy and Janice VanCleave (a well-known author of science books and projects), spent two weeks at the South Pole for a "South Pole Adventure" to perform experiments and answer questions from students. The CARA website has wonderful information on science research, experiments, activities, and life in Antarctica. (http://astro.uchicago.edu/cara)
Jason Leichuk,( the cinematographer/ cameraman) and Randy Landsberg are here with Vivian Trakinski to put together a museum exhibit about DASI (Degree Angular Scale Inferometer) , which is housed in the Dark Sector at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. The DASI is a computer-operated "cosmic microwave detector telescope", which has a total weight of 35,000 pounds. The DASI is designed to collect highly sensitive and detailed images, which according to Randy, looks at light from the early universe. To find out more information, check out the CARA website's "Randy and Friends Travel to the South Pole", as well as additional information about the project. The South Pole's Dark Sector has the unique characteristics, which make the CARA project possible. The South Pole has long, cold winters, access to long periods of darkness to study the expansive sky, and stable, dry conditions. The Dark Sector is a place free of light pollution (no artificial lights from nearby cities or buildings), as well as minimal electro-magnetic radiation interference.

My learning statement for Level 3 Counselling Studies:
What do I want from the course?
For me, the course is just as much a personal journey as it is a professional one. I want the course to help me gain confidence and learn to accept myself and be comfortable with who I am. I hope that this will come from forming friendships, allowing myself to spend time with people and by sharing some of myself with them, and also from honing my communication skills.
What skills do I hope to achieve?
The skills I hope to achieve are primarily based on social relationships and social intelligence. I hope to improve my communication, both in terms of my verbal skills and my listening skills. I want to learn to be comfortable with silences and to use these silences in skills practice to provide the client with a safe place to be with their own thoughts.
What do I want/need from tutors?
I would like tutors to be patient with me as I work on my confidence. For example, I am very nervous about the presentation that we have to do because of my fears of being in front of the class. I am determined to tackle my fears and prove to myself that I can do this, but some understanding and support from the tutors would be greatly appreciated.
What do I want/need from other members of the course?
I need members of the course to be respectful towards me, to not judge me, and, as with the tutors, to be patient with me during my journey.
What is my understanding of counselling?
My understanding of counselling is that it involves providing clients with three core conditions (i.e. empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard), so that they can reach self-actualisation and find their own solutions to their problems or grievances.
What personal qualities do I have which I think will be useful in counselling others?
I have always been a keen listener and I believe that counselling is very much about listening – to both verbal and non-verbal communication. I am fascinated by people and find people extremely interesting. Therefore, I naturally want to listen to other people's thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I want to hear their story and also to see how their story evolves.
What might I find difficult about counselling others?
I might find it difficult to counsel people who I can relate to, as it is during such times that it will be difficult not to feel like I know what they are going through. The fact is, although I might be able to empathise, I won't know exactly what they are going through as we are all different, despite any shared experiences.
Why am I drawn towards becoming a counsellor?
I am drawn to counselling because of my own experiences of counselling and the benefits I have experienced from being provided with empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence. I want to provide these conditions to others; they are a gift that I feel many people never experience.

Selector Statement
Le Pressepapier Executiv is a satirical melodrama that heightens the dilemma facing artists: life's impermanence and the romantic notion of transcendence through the making of objects. The parody highlights the narcissism and exhibitionism on display within the hot shop and sacrifices plenty of flowers in the process.

Can A Stepparent Take Out A Parent Plus Loan?
Yes, a stepparent can take out a Parent Plus loan for an undergraduate student. Stepparents are eligible as long as their information was included on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
For FAFSA purposes a parent is considered one of the following:
- A step-parent (after marriage)
If parents are divorced or separated, the parent is considered to be the one which the student lived with more in the past 12 months.
If the student did not live with either parent in a divorced/separated situation, the parent is the one who contributed more financial assistance in the past 12 months.
If the student did not receive appreciably more support from one parent or another, the parent is the one who claims the student as a dependent on the IRStax return.
Note: A foster parent, legal guardian, grandparent or other relative is not treated as a parent for purposes of filing a FAFSA unless that person has legally adopted the applicant. An adoptive parent is treated in the same manner as a biological parent on the FAFSA.

You can incorporate natural probiotics (Read about the benefits of probiotics here.) into your diet by consuming milk kefir, water kefir, kombucha and cultured vegetables in moderation as part of a whole foods diet. These are all types of lacto-fermented or cultured food that cultivate healthful bacteria and yeast communities that your body requires to stay healthy.
"Probiotics are not just another form of supplementation, but the most well researched natural health aids that have proven science and evidence of ability to actually cure certain diseases and prevent others." – Dr. Rick Swartzburg, D.C.
Please note:
Cultured or fermented food, even with all it's amazing health benefits, should be consumed in moderation as part of a nutritional whole food diet.
If you have a chronic disease, SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) or problems with consuming histamines then it is strongly recommended to consult with a Registered Functional Medicine Dietician with regards to the quantities and types of fermented foods that you can consume. In some cases you may need to resolve the issue first before reintroducing fermented food. The functional medicine practitioner will also assist in monitoring your body's response to the increase in beneficial gut flora and guide you through the process of correcting any dysbiosis (microbial imbalance).

During the course of pregnancy, women are often affected by a series of guidelines and pieces of advice administered by their doctors and other health professionals, and combined with societal messages about how pregnant women are supposed to behave, such pieces of advice may prove difficult to understand or to follow. Relying instead on the advice of mothers and grandmothers seems to be a popular alternative, according to a study recently carried out at the University of London. Investigating how women reacted to various cues from their doctors, from society, and from their female family members, the researchers found that trusting the experience of one's own family may have important benefits.
To acquire useful information on the subject, the researchers recruited groups of women hailing from three different decades of pregnancy periods. One group gave birth in the 1970s, another in the 1980s, and the third group gave birth in the 2000s. Among the oldest participants, whose children were born in the 1970s, researchers found that many women relied on the advice and guidance of female family members simply because more detailed and candid information from other sources was fairly lacking. Those who gave birth in later decades, however, were found to be more receptive to family-based advice regardless of the fact that very precise and descriptive information was available elsewhere.
The researchers note that the tendency to trust in female family members and to choose their advice even over direct orders from a doctor suggests that women may be able to use intended guidelines as guidelines alone, rather than feeling confined or oppressed by social wisdom and potentially unpersonalized medical guidance. Potentially functioning as a great aid in the mental health and well-being of pregnant women, this preference for maternal advice shows a dedication to valuing experienced and unbiased information that may be lacking in other areas and periods of life, such as issues of self-image, and likely warrants further investigation.

Ingram Micro is a wholesale hardware and software distributor committed to helping its reseller partners grow their businesses and maximise profitability. The company wanted to simplify the configuration, pricing and quotation process, ideally through an online tool to support reseller partners and the internal sales team. It aimed to free its leasing sales team to focus on the most profitable opportunities. Ingram Micro needed to complete this project in a shorter timeframe than the 18 months it would take its internal IT team.
Mercato Solutions' cloud-based tool PreSalesAdvisor makes the pricing and quoting processes for verified technology configurations simple. Ingram Micro chose Mercato Solutions to meet the brief within the required timescale.
"Our manual processes were slowing us down and limiting the number of opportunities we were able to chase," said Gemma Glen, Synerg Lead at Ingram Micro. "We wanted to save resource on pre-sales, sales and pricing, and needed to work with someone who understood the nature of our business to deliver this. Mercato fitted the bill perfectly – and was able to work with our team and brand managers for Microsoft and HP to deliver the project smoothly."
Using PreSalesAdvisor, Mercato Solutions has created a simplified configuration, pricing and quotation process. Once this process is complete, resellers can apply for credit on behalf of their customers and once approved, goods are automatically dispatched.
The tool integrates with the finance provider for a seamless experience. It has empowered Ingram Micro to deliver the right prices in real time, made it easy to manage pricing and stock, and helped strengthen relationships with suppliers and resellers.
Using PreSalesAdvisor, Ingram Micro have reduced a 5-day sales process reduced to 5 minutes. This has freed up the leasing sales team and helped boost revenue while cutting costs of sale.
"The response from our reseller customers to the PreSalesAdvisor tool has been fantastic," said Gemma Glen, Synerg Lead at Ingram Micro. "It's simple to use and understand, meaning they can self-serve easily and with confidence. They get the right price in real time, and goods are dispatched automatically. And the time saving it's given the leasing sales team has been little short of miraculous, enabling us to focus on bigger opportunities while giving everyone a high level of service."

I'll admit that this blog post has been sitting in my draft folder for days now while I tried to figure out both my feelings and my thoughts. So much has been said already, that I likely should just stay on the sidelines and keep my mouth shut. But I'm rarely a sidelines kind of gal if I have something I truly want to say. You'll find that out about me, if you don't already know it.
The news out of Charleston last week hit me particularly hard. I'm not sure why–it's not like this was the first time that:
- some lunatic with a gun decided to use random humans as target practice or
- some lunatic with a gun decided to shoot and kill random humans based on the color of their skin.
But yet, days later, as we watched Sunday Morning and their lead-off story dealt with the shootings, I couldn't prevent the tears gathering in my eyes again. Afterwards, seeing my face, my husband asked if I was okay. I wasn't okay then and I'm still not okay now.
If you're like me, you struggle daily to find the good in others, keeping your head above water in a steady stream of news that shows us too much evil and madness in a non-stop news cycle. Sometimes the deluge threatens to drown us all. Rape, murder, bullying, robbery. Hate. HATE. HATE
Do me a favor: Stop and think for a minute. Do it. Think of everybody you know. Everybody you've met. Drag up old grudges out of your memory. The bully in grade school. The psychotic boss at your first job. The lady who cut you off in traffic yesterday. What do you feel? Do you feel hate–actual HATE? Could you stand in front of any of them with a gun and pull the trigger?
Assholes come in all shapes and sizes. Thankfully, so do good people.
We've all been wronged, in ways both real and imagined, big and small. Do you dwell on it for more than a day, a week, a year? Does it become a story in your history that you talk about occasionally when something triggers (poor word choice?) the memory? Do you laugh about it now, realizing that it really was such a small, unimportant thing in the scheme of things?
Or do you join a hate group, write a hate manifesto and go get your hands on a tool with which you can act on that hate–not even against the person who you perceive has wronged you, but somebody or a group of somebodies that you'll simply use as their proxy. Schoolchildren, teachers, moviegoers, participants in Bible study. All innocent lives. Now fodder for your maddened will.
Perhaps it's simply me. Two generations removed from the Holocaust, in which my paternal grandparents lost 80% of their family, I'm still extremely sensitive to senseless words and acts of hate. But I know that's not true: The large percentage of us don't think this way. We judge people for who they are, not for their race, religion, upbringing, class, dress or sexual preference. Assholes come in all shapes and sizes. Thankfully, so do good people.
Anybody who knows my personal shit knows I've handled a couple of my own schmucks this last year. People whose people skills were not just severely lacking but whose small seed of humanity had obviously never taken root in their bodies either. People who made several of my days a little terrarium of hell–you know, hell in microcosm. I refused to dwell in their little world of hate and so I lifted the lid and moved on. Their lies followed me for a bit, but eventually I outdistanced those too. It is what it is. Or rather, it was what it was. Because I'm past it.
Do I forgive them? Well, um, actually–no, I don't. I have this capacity to move on without either forgetting or forgiving. It's what I do. But some of the families of the Charleston victims actually FORGAVE the murderer. And that got me thinking some more. And truthfully, I'm still thinking. About the concepts of forgiveness and grief, redemption and closure. Because I know that my first instinct wouldn't be forgiveness. In fact, I can pretty safely bet that forgiveness wouldn't have a place in my first ten instincts if something like this happened to one of my family members.
Furthermore, while the shooter's hatred says a lot about him, his ability to act on his hatred says a lot about us as a society–none of it good.
Their ability to forgive him for his actions says a lot too. It speaks volumes.
We cannot just move on as a nation, leaving evil and hatred to fester under the terrarium lid.

Kintzheim, Bas-Rhin tourism & sightseeing
Visit Kintzheim (Alsace, France)
Kintzheim is a village in the Bas-Rhin department of the Alsace region, close to the Chateau Haut-Koenigsburg and south-west of Selestat.
Exploring Kintzheim
Although it is slightly less visited than some of the better known villages along the popular Alsace Wine Route a stop in this picturesque wine producing village is recommended. In fact it is quite likely you will come across Kintzheim when you visit one of the popular 'animal attractions' nearby (see below). If so, make sure you allow time for a stroll through the village itself!
There are a good number of typical Alsacian half-timbered houses to admire, mostly along the main street through the centre, that also has cafes and shops to distract you - the town has a more lived-in feel than some of the small Alsace villages.
There are also some churches of interest here, such as the 19th century Church of Saint-Martin, built to replace a smaller church in the same location that had become too small for the community.
Other buildings of interest in Kintzheim include the small chapel on Rue Clog-Stebler and the baroque style town hall, both built towards the end of the 19th century.
Attractions in the vicinity of Kintzheim
There are several interesting attractions nearby that merit a visit, focussing on wildlife:
1) The ruins of the abandoned chateau de Kintzheim - it was destroyed in 1632 - are small but perfectly formed, and now also play host to an aviary and an extraordinary selection of birds of prey such as eagles, falcons and vultures. You can see displays at the castle featuring the birds and the castle itself is in a very picturesque setting of wooded hills above the village.
2) Another popular attraction close to Kintzheim is the 'Mountain of Monkeys' (Montagne des Singes) where more than 200 Barbary monkeys can be seen living in a natural woodland habitat.
3) There is also a third park called Cigoland and dedicated to storks, the bird that is the symbol of Alsace. As well as learning about storks your children will enjoy the theme park here.
One interesting site just outside the village is the tiny Chapel de l'Aigle a little way out of the town, in a pretty setting in the selestat forests. Several people claimed to have visions of the Virgin Mary at the chapel during the 19th century.
There are many other picturesque villages along the Alsace Wine Route not far from Kintzheim that you can visit during the same trip.
You can find more travel ideas in the Bas-Rhin guide and the Alsace guide.

The Name 2Plank
The name 2Plank Vineyards pays homage to the early pioneers of the sport (called "2Plankers"), who would strap toboggans to their feet and bomb down icy hills. Being avid snow skiers their whole lives, Jason and David combined their love for the sport and passion for wine into an artisan winery and vineyard, aptly named 2Plank Vineyards.
The Vineyard
The estate vineyard was planted in Fallbrook after much debate and research over the vineyard's location. The decision to plant here was based on the unique growing climate and soil profile in Fallbrook. The dark, red volcanic soils are similar to the famous terra rossa of the Coonawarra region in Australia. Planted at an average elevation of 1100 feet, the vineyard is situated near the Santa Margarita River gap, which provides the daily maritime breezes necessary for slow fruit maturation. This allows the grapes to develop the optimum fruit, acid, and tannin structure necessary to make the highest quality wines. We feel that you can taste the terroir of our Red Mountain vineyard in every bottle.
The Red Mountain can definitely be defined as extreme farming. The topography includes a 15-20% grade and large quantities of volcanic rock, make it impossible to farm with machines, so every square foot of our vineyard is hand-farmed. This harsh topography also tames the vines, stressing them, pressuring them to send down roots deep into the rocky, fractured substrata. The end result is lower yields of fruit per acre, but the grapes that are harvested are concentrated with flavor. We also favor sustainable farming practices such as hand cultivating and avoiding use of pesticides.
All 2Plank wine ferments in small lots to extract optimum flavor and color, then ages in oak for 12-18 months. We try to intervene as little as possible in the wine aging process. We'd rather let the quality fruit shine through. This old-world approach coupled with our new world fruit, produces wines that are ready to drink right out of the gate, but can easily be laid down for years, to enjoy later on. Our wines are both food friendly and great for sipping.
Our Team
David Bridgeman
David is a family physician by day and farmer by night. As a doctor, he's been taking care of patients in Fallbrook for nearly 20 years. When Dave isn't tending to his patients or watching a UCLA basketball game, he's working in the estate vineyard just around the corner from where he and his family live. Dave has a very natural approach to grape growing and winemaking. He doesn't like to add pesticides when farming and enjoys natively fermented wines. It's not uncommon to see him in the winery grabbing the wine thief to sample young wines and ponder future blends. His reputation for being a generous host is followed by his reputation of being honest and knowledgeable in all aspect of winemaking.
Jason Wimp
Jason comes from a humble farming town in the central valley. After receiving his BA from San Diego State and his MBA from University of San Diego, Jason established a technology company next door to the original winery in Sorrento Valley. When he's not traveling around the world and closing big deals, he's modestly making wine, operating the business and interacting with customers in the tasting room. Jason is an invaluable component of the company because of his extensive knowledge of the agriculture business and his entrepreneurial spirit.
Matt Noreen
Matt's background in farming is very extensive. He has held many positions in the agriculture business but decided to commit 100% to San Diego wine grape growing after befriending Dave in 2010. Over the last few years Matt has completed Viticulture & Soil Science courses at Mt. San Jacinto College, a UC Davis structured program under Greg Pennyroyal (head Viticulturist and Vineyard manager at Wilson Creek in Temecula), and has completed Enology courses at Miracosta college under Jim Hart (Owner and winemaker of Volcan Winery, Hart Winery and Milagro Winery). Currently, Matt is on the forefront of our vineyard installation and management team and is responsible for managing over a dozen vineyards throughout the North County of San Diego. The old adage "quality over quantity" truly defines his work ethics. When he's not walking the vineyard rows and examining each vine for health and quality, he and his wife Mary are graciously pouring wine in the Vista tasting room. Stop by and say hi to them on most Sundays!
Dominic Criscenti
Dominic has been a vital component of 2Plank Vineyards and also a great friend of the family's. He grew up in the central valley and received a Masters Degree in Agricultural Science from Fresno State. He assists in all winemaking operations at 2Plank, pours wine in the tasting room and even acts as the winery's handy man and safety officer. In 2016 he helped everyday of harvest and made it the most fun harvest to date!
