Things I would like to do
Sometimes I wish I had time to do the many things I would like to do.
First, I would like to code a lot – no surprise there. Then, I want to do some linguistic stuff. Read up on all sorts of languages; try to make inferences as to their relationships and their derivations. I want to be able to decipher languages that have not been deciphered – like the Linear A script and the Harappan Script. Oh yeah, talking about scripts – I would even like to go on an archaeological dig to these sites (Crete, Harappa). That would be awesome. Oh hell, I wouldn't mind just any old archaeological dig.
I want to learn Indian classical music completely. I wish I hadn't been such a brat when I was little. My mom tried to teach it to me. I learnt a little bit, but I was never happy about learning it it. I was such a brat. I really regret it. I've been trying to read up on it as much as I can, and I find it very intriguing. There seems to be intricate mathematical relationships between the different scales. Compositions seem to follow certain rules. That is something I would really like to understand.
I want to come up with a way to describe dancing – and I mean stuff like the Salsa, Cha-Cha or Rhumba. Yeah, that sounds strange – but I have noticed that these dances have a strict set of rules and transitions from one step to another are clearly defined. There has to be a mathematical relationship involved!
There is so much to learn in this world and not enouch time. I know that is one thing I will always have – the urge to learn more and more…

I don't think I have been this excited to welcome the month of March since 1999 when I knew I was getting married in March. I have been singing and dancing "24 days till we have a baby! 24 more days!" all around the house and to the kids this morning.
So bring it on March winds and March madness and March everything else. I welcome you all!

Talking to Pilots, the multiple AIRBUS crashes lead us to believe there is a fatal deign flaw in AIRBUS. But hey thats my opinion. I fly BOEING. Period. Airbus has a problem. How many crashes before some expert begins to discuss there is a DESIGN FLAW in this air modeling that is causing unexplained, consistent, multiple, loss of planes and life.
When you fly, why not ask for Boeing – you have not heard of their aircraft failing and hey – its made in AMERICA why not be proud.
I am having learned to fly at Boeing Field and growing up with Bill Boeing – my hats off to their family on quality.
I'm so sorry for the families.

Dutch born Zoni Weisz, a Roma Holocaust survivor, will address Germany's Bundestag on Thursday, the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp by Soviet troops on January 27, 1945. Germany marks the day with official memorial ceremonies for Holocaust victims. Berlin will also name a street and a gymnasium after Roma murdered by the Nazis.
"It is the first time that the fate of the Sinti and Roma of Europe has been placed at the centre of the commemorations," said Romani Rose, the head of the Council of Sinti and Roma in Germany. "Finally."
The Bundestag said Mr Weisz was "surprised and honoured" to have been chosen to speak on the "forgotten Holocaust" – the extermination, historians have estimated, of between 220,000 and 500,000 of the around one million Roma in Europe.
The Nazis murdered six million Jews across Europe during World War II.
The Roma and related Sinti, like the Jews deemed racially inferior by the Nazis, were also systematically persecuted, confined to ghettos and special camps, deported and killed.
In concentration camps such as Auschwitz and Ravensbrueck, they were the subject of grotesque medical experiments.
But West Germany did not recognise the genocide until 1982. "Germany had played down this genocide for decades," said Silvio Peritore, of the Central Council of Sinti and Roma.
Mr Weisz, the son of an instrument maker, was just seven in 1944, when his family was deported from the eastern Dutch town of Zutphen. He escaped the raid with the help of a policeman. His parents, sisters and younger brother were murdered at Auschwitz, while Mr Weisz survived in hiding.
He later became florist to Holland's royal family.
The eastern Berlin district of Friedrichshain will rename a street "Ede and Unku", the name of a 1931 book telling the true story of a friendship between a German worker's son and a Sinti girl before the Nazi era. "Unku", a nickname for Erna Lauenberger, was deported with her family and killed at Auschwitz. "Ede and Unku" was banned by the Nazis and its young author Grete Weiskof, a Jewish communist writing under the name Alex Wedding, fled Germany in 1933.
A gymnasium in Berlin will be named after the boxer Johann Trollmann, also known as "Gipsy" Trollmann, who fought for Germany's light-heavyweight title in 1933. Although he won on points, the Nazis denied him his title for having a fighting style that was "un-German". Mr Trollmann, a Sinti, was later killed in a concentration camp.
"The fates of Erna Lauenburger and Johann Trollmann represent the fate of half a million Sinti and Roma victims of the genocide. But there has not been enough discussion of these crimes," said local councillor Jan Stoess.
Germany is to inaugurate a memorial to Sinti and Roma murdered by the Nazis near the Reichstag later this year.

Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge
The Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge is one of more than 540 national wildlife refuges administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It was established in 1975 to safeguard the endangered Mississippi sandhill crane and its unique disappearing wet pine savanna habitat. The refuge consists of more than 19,000 acres in four units and is now part of the Gulf Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The Refuge Complex Manager also administers Grand Bay National Wildlife Refuge (Mississippi/Alabama) and Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge (Alabama).
Getting There . . .
The Mississippi Sandhill Crane Refuge is located in Jackson County, Mississippi, three miles north of Gautier. The headquarters/visitor center is located one-half mile north of I-10, exit 61, on the Gautier-Vancleave road.

Fire Management:
Managers use prescribed fire as the primary habitat management tool on the refuge. The prescribed fire program is used to mimic the natural fires that burned through the savannas every few years. Fires suppress the growth of hardwood shrubs and trees, create large open areas and clear out dead under-story plants while "recycling" nutrients. These nutrients act as fertilizer rejuvenating the wire grass and pitcher plants. The main objective in management of the refuge habitat is the long-term ongoing restoration of the unique and endangered wet pine savanna. As a result of fire suppression and pine plantations, afforestation is a major problem as trees and shrubs have supplanted the once-open savannas. In fact, some ecologists believe up to 90 percent of the trees on the refuge, primarily slash pine, need to be removed. Because of rainfall and low topography, the soils are often too wet for typical timber harvest or mechanical removal with heavy equipment. Hand-clearing with chain saws may be the only way to remove trees in many areas.
Invasive Species Management:
Exotic, non-native plant species can cause real problems with native habitats and restoration efforts. Cogongrass (Imperata cylindrica), a noxious grass, is causing concern as it is forming monotypic stands along roadways and other disturbed areas, and making its way into refuge habitats. Management of cogongrass is a challenge, but prevention of its spread into native savannas is necessary.
Farming for Wildlife:
A number of upland sites have been cultivated to provide winter feeding areas for cranes. There are now 13 food plots (or crop units), totaling about 113 acres and a 40-acre pasture on the refuge. Chufa, a sedge that produces a nut-like tuber, has been the major growing season crop. Corn, sunflowers, and a number of other crops have also been planted. Ryegrass, winter wheat, vetch and other cover crops have been planted in the autumn. Deer, turkey, and other resident wildlife also use the crop units.
Water Management:
The changes in habitat in areas surrounding the refuge have developed and caused important changes in the natural water regime, resulting in drier habitats and disturbance to historic crane roosts. Refuge personnel have created roost ponds and constructed several water control structures to adjust water flow into savanna edges during nesting season.
Crane Population Management:
A restocking effort with captive-reared birds is used to bolster the wild population. Although cranes lay one or two eggs each season, very rarely is more than one chick reared successfully. Beginning in 1965, "extra" eggs, the second viable egg from a two-egg nest, were occasionally removed from the local nests to become part of a captive flock. This captive breeding flock is divided and about half of the cranes reside at the Audubon Institute's Species Survival Center outside New Orleans and about half are at the White Oak Conservation Center near Jacksonville, Florida. Since 1981, captive reared cranes have been released annually on the refuge. This program is the largest crane release program in the world and has been so successful that 90 percent of the free-flying cranes seen today are captive-reared.
Refuge personnel monitor the cranes year-round to understand as much as possible about how they live and what they need to survive and nest successfully. Many of the cranes are marked in different ways so they may be identified individually with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service bands, plastic leg bands and leg bands mounted radiotransmitters. The information obtained is put in a data base and provides clues to habitat use, nesting, survival rates, cause of mortality, and many other aspects of local crane life.

Joe Namath
The legendary quarterback Joe Namath is probably the most famous vegetarian football player. Inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1985, he was also one of the best players, period. In his words, "I have been a vegetarian for a few years. Fred Dryer of the Rams has been one for 10 years. It shows you don't need meat to play football." Namath serves as a role model for aspiring gridironers everywhere.

The Washington Post food critic reviewed Volt in this past Sunday's Magazine. The review was overall very positive and he gave it 2 1/2 stars (out of 4). The food reviews were very favorable, but they got dinged for service. Link is here.
Tag Archives: Restaurant- misc.
Well, I know the professional critics will not review a restaurant until at least three months after it opens, but hey I'm just a rank amateur, so what do I care. With all the anticipation I'm not inclined to wait more than three weeks. Also my brother and his wife were in town so it seemed a perfect occcasion to check out Volt this weekend. Doing a little research I learned that Volt is divided into several areas: a bar/lounge, the main dining room, a group area and the chef's dining area. Besides overlooking the kitchen, the chef's dining area is the only place where you can get the five or seven course tasting menu ( FYI you cannot order a la carte in this area). We decided to go large and managed to score a reservation at the chef's dining area. The chefs dining area consists of four tables that overlook the kitchen. Beautiful tiled walls, soft indirect lighting and an impressive sculpture/light fixture made the area feel like the fine restaurant it is. The place settings were beautiful: big white china, with hefty, stylish flatware and best of all- the stemware was all Riedel, including the water glasses. Even more impressive: when you eat in the chef's dining area nothing but a waist high counter separates you from the kitchen and staff. It takes guts to have up to 16 pairs of eyeballs on you as they cook. Watching the staff was amazing. The choreograph of a well-tuned kitchen was evident. They communicated mostly non-verbally and when they had to talk they did it in head-to-head hushed whispers. Above it all Chef Bryan Voltaggio supervised the whole process with an aquiline presence. I didn't see him smile once the whole evening. The only clunker that I observed was that it still seemed like the wait staff was finding its way and there was some confusion with further explaining and switching of dishes.
The food is what I would call New American Cuisine. An eclectic mix of flavors and styles that combines ingredients in new ways. All of us opted for the five course vegetarian tasting menu ( if anyone in authority is reading this we would've gone for a seven course vegetarian menu like you have with the meat if it had been available) and the wine paring. Immediately we were given a series of three amuse-bouche that were not on the menu (throughout the night we were given small extras that were not on the menu: bread, extra pours and glasses of wine, an extra dessert, a chocolate plate at the end, and the ladies got sweet biscuits "for their morning coffee."). They were stupendous. Two really stood out: A small demi-tasse of corn custard with chili oil and morel mushroom, and then a bite of compressed watermelon with vanilla sea salt. The comment was made that we could've just had a whole bowl of the corn, called it a night and been ecstatic. I agree. The first course was an English pea soup with carrot ravioli, and a pea shoot tempura. The soup was a vibrant green and tasted like dewy peas plucked straight from the garden. The only complaint was that I felt the soup was slightly too salty-(in fact the only complaints of the night were that we felt the kitchen was too heavy handed with the seasonings in the soup and in the eggplant (course #4)- too much pepper). The night proceeded in an unrushed and refined succession of delicious dishes. I am not going to give a blow by blow here, but each course was amazing: summer heirloom tomatoes made three ways, yellow corn ravioli, eggplant confit and a dessert titled: Chocolate and Hazelnut "pave" chocolate caramel, praline anglais and frozen hazelnut custard. To top it all off we ordered another dessert: the goat cheese cheesecake which was ethereal and goat cheesy and sweet (if that makes sense) all at the same time. Each course had a very good to excellent pairing with wine and some of the courses were quite difficult to match (I'm still not sold on the heirloon tomato- prosecco match, but it certainly wasn't bad). The sommelier Aaron was always there to describe each pour and answer our questions about the wine. I'll go into detail perhaps in a supplemental review (or perhaps do more research-yay!) but the cocktails were top notch as well.
Bottom line is that Volt lives up to and exceeds all the hype. I went there armored in cynicism, but instead we had an amazing three hour dining experience. Frederick is lucky to have this establishment here. The food, the atmosphere and the service was superb. There is nothing that comes close to rising to this level in Frederick and very few that rise to this level in whole the region. I could see this restaurant becoming Frederick's answer to the Inn at Little Washington. My brother, who with his expense account has dined in places like Le Bernadin, Per Se and other fine dining establishments, agreed with this reviewer's opinion. One thing worth mentioning: for although Bro may have brought his refined palate to dinner, alas he did not bring his expense account. Dinner was not cheap. For four of us with the tasting menus ($69 for the menu plus $35 for the wine each), wine parings, 5-6 cocktails, and an extra dessert plus coffee brought the tab with tip to $580. Now I was hesitant in mentioning this because of my concern that people will think Volt is an unaffordable luxury or a once in a lifetime special occasion place. Everyone's tastes and budgets differ, but bear in mind that we went whole hog, so to speak. Looking at the a la carte menu I think that dinner for two, perhaps sharing an appetizer and dessert and having a wine or two by the glass would run you around $100-120. There is also a lunch menu and the lounge to consider.
Give it a try and as always your comments are welcome,

Volt's Wine Part II
In checking out their website, which has been updated since I last visited, I noticed that they now have their wine listed posted. You can take a look at it here. Really excited to see about 30 wines by the glass and a lot of half bottles. Half bottles are a real rarity in Frederick. They are a great way to have some wine and not worry about over consumption, although that is not as much of a concern with Maryland's 'merlot to go law' these days. It's also a fun way to try several different wines with your meal.
The list has a lot of breadth, spanning the globe. There is a lot of emphasis on French wines, and a nice selection of American and German wines as well. With this list everybody should be able to find something that tickles their fancy. A good vaiety of price points as well. Some of the highlights I saw were: a vintage prosecco by the glass, eight half bottles of sparkling wine ( a nice way to start a meal). As mentioned there is a wide range of prices. I saw some very exciting wines at reasonable prices. For example they have a 1999 Robert Mondavi Reserve. According to Wine Spectator this was a 94 point wine (made #12 on their top 100 wines of 2002). You can't find this for less than $110 retail these days (and this is a restaurant) and they have it listed at $90 which is terrific. Its so reasonable that I am worried that it is a typo. (There are some mistakes I spotted in the list- Chateau Chass-Speen ?!?) If it is a typo please put a bottle aside for me at this price when I stop by as a thank you for finding it. Also the 1999 Paul Jaboulet Aine Domaine St Pierre (WS 93 pts.) has the potential to be a stunning value at $70 if it is still drinking well. (2008 is reportedly near the upper end of the drinking window for a 99 Cornas). Lots of other stuff although the selection of Italians is spare compared to France and Germany. 24 dessert wines by the bottle to finish off your meal.

Mexicali Cantina
Had lunch there (again) and I am too busy today to do a full post, but consistently the best Mexican food, actually TeX-Mex to be precise, in Frederick is without a doubt the Mexicali Cantina. I have tried La Paz, Casa Rico and Cacique and none of them are as good as Mexicali Cantina. The Cacique food is nearly identical to Mexicali Cantina (they are both owned by the same person) but Cacique is more expensive which is why MC gets the nod. As always I love your feedback- good or bad.

Volt's Wine
As the hype toward Volt's opening (which I have to admit I am buying into) reaches a crescendo I saw a brief blurb today that Volt has selected Aaron Schifferle as their sommelier. According to that Mr. Schifferle was most recently sommelier and cellar master at the Inn at Little Washington. Impressive credentials. I look forward to seeing their wine list.
No mention of it a Volt's blog. Although I am insanely jealous and would have loved to have been part of their "focus group" to help develop their wine list!

Quote of The Day (and brief history lesson)
Most of you may not know that one of the first food critics and publisher of a best selling guide in 1935, Called Adventures in Good Eating was Duncan Hines. (yes that Duncan Hines- he ultimately sold the rights to use his name which ended up on Proctor & Gamble cake mixes). Anyway I came across a fantastic, in a bit non-PC, quote attributed to him:
"If the soup was as warm as the wine, if the wine was as old as the turkey, if the turkey had breasts like the maid, it would have been a fine dinner." – Duncan Hines
I wish I could write something half as good as that some day.

Cheaters Never Win (in the end)Posted in Motivational
A lot of people are sick and tired of hearing about "Deflategate." What does it matter in the scheme of things that the Patriots let some air out of some footballs? Does that REALLY matter? If you are a Patriots fan, my apologies for the following expose'. I know there are die-hard fans. Regardless of what happens, they are going to be fans. Other people are just sick of hearing about it. I understand that…at least to a point. However, there are lines that should not be crossed and when someone makes the decision to break the rules, there are consequences for their actions. There are always consequences for our decisions, and we don't get to choose what they are.
Recently it came to light that the Patriots deflated the balls they used to give their team an edge in the game against the Colts. The question is, why? Did they not have enough confidence that they could beat the other team without stooping to that? Really? This is not the first time that Bill Belichick, head coach of the Patriots has come under fire for doing something unethical or illegal.
Remember "Spygate" a few years back when the Patriots were caught spying on the Jets. In 2007, the media couldn't stop talking about "Spygate. " The New England Patriots were caught illegally taping sideline defensive signals from New York Jets coaches during the teams' opening week game. It soon became known that that Patriots coach Bill Belichick had engaged in such activity since 2000, and although the league had only expressly clarified the practice as forbidden in a September 2006 memo, the perception still lingers that New England gained an unfair advantage (i.e. cheated) during the first seven seasons of Belichick's tenure with the team. That period happened to include three Super Bowl championships and five division titles. Imagine that!
Now we have "Deflategate." They did not have to cheat to win. They beat the Colts 45 to 7. Belichick says he did not know about it. Brady says he did not know about it. Really? Are we to believe that someone randomly deflated the game balls in a critical playoff game which gave the Patriots an edge in the inclement weather and the coach and quarterback were clueless about it? I don't think so. Nothing happens like that without the blessings from above…and I don't mean God.
Troy Aikman was asked if there was any way that they could not have known, and he said, "Brady knew and Belichick should burn." Too harsh? I think not. This is another black eye for the Patriots and for Roger Goodell. Aikman said that Goodell's "ignorance is no excuse" reason was used to bury the Saints in 2012 for "Bountygate." Sean Peyton was suspended from football for a year!
Let's see if what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Goodell lost a lot of credibility with the bungling of the Ray Rice fiasco. Now this test has risen to test his moral compass once again. Talk about being in the hot-seat. I would not trade places for anything with Roger Goodell. Let's hope he does the right thing, and let's hope that the Patriots learn the lesson that sooner or later your sins will find you out. When you have to cheat to win, what have you really won? Certainly not the respect of anyone. I think we would all like to put this behind us, but how do you do that when someone continually cheats to win? Is this what professional sports has come to?

Nigeria will square off with Serbia in an international friendly match at the Hive Stadium in London, England later today.
Super Eagles are coming off 1-0 win over Poland in a friendly match which was played in Wrocław on Friday.
Nigerians, who are under the guidance of German Coach Gernot Rohr, have lost once in their last five games in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Serbia are wounded after suffering a 2-1 defeat to Morocco in a friendly match which was played in Torino, Italy on Friday night.
The defeat ended the Eagles' three-match unbeaten run in all competitions having drawn with Korea Republic in a friendly game last November, before facing Morocco.
The European side is coached by Serbian tactician Mladen Krstajic, who was appointed last October replacing his countryman Slavoljub Muslin.
Nigeria and Serbia will be using this friendly as preparation for the upcoming FIFA World Cup finals which are scheduled to be hosted by Russia between June and July

Aligned leadership development with succession management initiatives for a Department of the U.S. Government, resulting in a 4.6 out of 5 course satisfaction rating.
"The facilitator took the material from the book and turned it into live engagement and discussion. He provided examples and gave the cohort opportunities to reflect, disagree, and sort out our views on the topics presented."
Pathways to Leadership Participant
The Challenge
A Department of the U.S. Government came to KPC looking to enhance its leadership bench strength by developing a department of leaders, both in the department's supervisory and nonsupervisory roles, through effective leadership training. The department also wanted to align these leadership development goals with its succession management initiatives to increase its ability to grow and shift efficiently to changing workplace demands.
- Develop a department of leaders
- Align leadership development with succession management initiatives
- Improve department ability to adapt to changing workplace demands
The Solution
To meet the department's need for improved leadership from the ground up, KPC developed a training program that would incorporate a mix of team training and personalized leadership coaching. In order to create a leadership mindset among personnel in both supervisory and nonsupervisory roles, the KPC team's approach focused on developing a renewed sense of purpose within each individual employee that would reinforce their personal commitment to public service. KPC accomplished this through a year-long program. It included a series of two separate, one-week leadership development workshops. These workshops were enhanced with three webinars, 10 hours of personalized leadership coaching per participant, and personality and leadership assessment administration and interpretation (the MBTI, EQ-i, and CLI).
- Two separate, one-week leadership development workshops
- 10 personalized leadership coaching hours per participant
- Personality and leadership assessment administration and interpretation (the MBTI, EQ-i, and CLI)
- Three webinars on emerging topics
The Outcome
By reinforcing each individual's sense of purpose and commitment to public service, KPC delivered an engaging training program that shaped a department-wide leadership mindset. At the program's conclusion, individuals shifted from being uncertain of their purpose within the department to discovering that they could behave and project themselves as leaders without having to be supervisors. This created a renewed sense of personal investment in carrying out departmental initiatives. Survey results revealed that participants rated the program as having high job relevance, applicability and a high rate of return on time invested. Participants rated "Relevance to the Job" as 4.8 out of 5 and "Return on Time Invested" as 4.6 out of 5.
- 4.6 out of 5 participant rating for the return on time invested
- 4.8 out of 5 participant rating for course relevancy and job applicability
- 4.6 out of 5 course satisfaction rating
- Renewed sense of personal investment in carrying out department initiatives

There's a saying which goes "something you killed didn't stay dead yet? You must have put some termites in your coffin" Commonly known as "WHITE ANTS" or "SILENT KILLERS" termites are one of the oldest farmers in the world. One of the most challenging tasks one could face while maintaining a household is to guard it from termites!
These insects exist in colonies and primarily thrive on wood and also consume cellulose-based plant materials. Unfortunately, all homes, regardless of their construction type, can provide cellulose food for termite infestation. Termites are detritivores, or detritus feeders. They feed on dead plants and trees which includes wood. A termite's mouth is capable of tearing pieces of woody material. This ability is what causes concern in human dwellings .While termite workers only measure approximately 1 cm to a few millimeters in length, their feeding habits are capable of causing costly damage to property. House foundations, furniture, shelves and even books are all possible feeding sites for termites.
Although termites could be broadly classified as dry wood termites and sub-terranenan termites. The ones which are more prone in our country are the latter. They primarily originate from the ground, go in search of food and comfort themselves in shelter galleries in other structures. These sub-terranean termites cannot survive without establishing connection with the soils and require a lot of moisture for its survival which makes them more susceptible in wet areas in the building. Like fire and flood control, termite control is an essential ingredient for the household.
The Termite treatment is generally provided in two ways. PRE-CONSTRUCTION and POST CONSTRUCTION treatment. The former is applied during the construction of your investment and the latter is after the entire construction process.
They say "prevention is better than cure". Rather the pre-construction methodology is more effective and economical than the post construction termite treatment. During the process of construction, major portions of our buildings remain exposed to water, air and other unfavorable conditions which conveniently invite termites. Anti termite specimens are smeared before starting concrete work for the foundation, in all timber touching soil, where pipes and conduits are laid etc. For the post construction, the specimens need to be sprayed on all soil touching the external periphery of the building.
Knowing the signs can save your huge investment from these tiny creatures.
- Swarming termites could be found near all light fixtures as they are easily attracted towards light
- After termites enter a new home they shed their wings. You might notice these shed wings among dust near windowsills, heating vents, doors, in sinks and bathtubs and in spider webs.
- Termites build muddy, flattened tubes approximately the width of a drinking straw. These tubes give them protection from predators and temperature extremes and help maintain a moist atmosphere.
- Because termites eat wood from within, you can tap suspect wood with a screwdriver handle and listen for a hollow sound.
- Dark areas or blisters in wood flooring may indicate termites feeding within or below.
Oftentimes there will be no visible indication that the home is infested. Termites are cryptic creatures and infestations can go undetected for years, hidden behind walls, floor coverings, insulation, and other obstructions. Termite feeding and damage can even progress undetected in wood that is exposed because the outer surface is usually left intact.
Pre constructional anti-termite treatment is a process in which the soil around the building is treated at a very beginning stage of construction, ie, during the construction stages of the substructure up to plinth level. It basically involves treatments in very prime and exposed areas like trenches for columns, plinth beams, plinth filling, at junction of walls and floor, in expansion joints etc. Before that, a thorough site inspection is required to properly assess the quantity and dosage of chemicals.
Ideally ,
- Bottom and sides of excavation are treated with chemicals before the foundation is laid
- Wherever slabs on grades are to be built , holes are drilled in the soil ,and filled with chemicals
- The entire perimeter of the building construction structure is treated with chemicals by drilling holes in the earth
- In pipe beddings, the area is filled with chemicals to secure the pipe from any future termite infestation.
Let us have a look at the procedure in detail,
Here the site is thoroughly inspected by our experts, and all sorts of organic matter, dirt and rubbish are cleared up. If any termite mounds, several holes are drilled with bars and are immediately destroyed by treating with our chemicals.
This procedure helps severely in protecting the foundation which is directly in contact with the soil. We treat the bottom surface and sides of excavation for column pits, walls trenches and basements, upto a height of about 300 mm with our chemicals.
The external perimeter of the building shall be treated here. The entire perimeter of the building shall be rodded to make holes at a depth of about 300 mm. We then pour the chemical emulsion into the hole and tamp back the soil after treatment. This prevents the termites from entering the building from the exterior surroundings.
We provide continuous dense physical structural barriers at plinth level to prevent entry to termites through walls. These barriers may be in the form of concrete layer or metal .Metal sheet is provided under wood work. Its also called a termite shield made up of GI or copper sheet not less than 0.45mm.
Pipes with its tubular structure, is one of the most coziest homes for termites. We treat the service pipes entering the foundation/building .Treatment shall be carried out at a distance of 300 mm away from pipe in both Side at a depth of about 75 mm below the pipe, basically, at each entry points treatment shall be carried out.
Continuity of vertical chemical barrier on inner wall surface from ground level to finished floor level is required. The floor and wall junctions again require special attention. The termite treatment is carried out by, placing a channel of 30×30 mm at all junctions of wall and columns with floor before subgrade is laid. Then, holes are drilled up to ground level and our chemical emulsion are poured, tamped the soil back into the channel and consolidated.
Soil beneath the expansion joints at ground level shall be treated with our chemical spray at the quantity, per running meter of expansion joint.
Now this occurs as a maintenance process for those buildings which are already infested by termites. Proper termite inspection is carried out to get to know the spread of termites in the building, and to detect the points of entry of termites in the building. Any shelter tubes detected are immediately dismantled by injecting anti-termite emulsion through them. If the attack is severe, the soil around the building, and soil under the floor may be injected with anti-termite emulsion. This treatment may be applied upto a depth of 30 cm below ground level. To prevent the entry of termites through voids in masonry, 12 mm dia. Holes are drilled at 30 cm c/c at downward angle of 45 from both the sides of walls at plinth level and chemical emulsion is pumped into these under pressure. These holes are then sealed.
They say "prevention is better than cure". Rather the pre construction methodology is more effective and economical than the post construction treatment. During the process of construction, major portions of our buildings remain exposed to water, air and other unfavorable conditions which conveniently invite termites. Anti termite specimens are smeared before starting concrete work for the foundation, in all timber touching soil, where pipes and conduits are laid etc. For the post construction, the specimens need to be sprayed on all soil touching the external periphery of the building.
We take every customer's problem as a new venturing challenge. We take utmost concern to provide you with best termite treatment services. Our expert sessions of termite inspection and drilling will ensure that we figure out these visible invisible creatures in every nook and corner of your household. We make use of advanced chemicals and technologies that has been developed over years and has brought out the promised effect. Our chemicals do not have any ill effects on the property on which it is subjected to thus ensuring you of safety. With quality comes quantity. With minimal quantity our products ensure to thrive on to function for the plan you have opted (1, 2 years etc).

Kabir's poems give off a marvelous radiant intensity that never fails…they have exactly the luminous depth that permits and invites many rereadings.—Hayden Carruth, New York Times Book Review
"One of the luminous experiences of American poetry… Kabir is a poet who connects the modes of thinking, feeling, intuition and sensation at every turn of thought and phrase."—Jonathan Cott, Rolling Stone
"Robert Bly earns the thanks of us all. I, for one, will reread [Bly's Kabir] often. Kabir can be seen as a welcome member to that brotherhood of mystic American poets, novelists and painters."—Paul Carroll, The American Poetry Review
"Without Bly, modern American poetry would be unrecognizable in its current form. Without his poems, his translations, and his devotion to poetry, American literature would have taken a different turn in its rich and influential history." —Ray González, The Bloomsbury Review

The ESP8266 is quickly becoming a very popular chip, I am sure this is mostly due to the dirt cheap price point. If you are adding this to a battery operated application you might want to drop the power consumption as low as possible. There are many things that can be done to do this, removing the indication LED is the first obvious step. Jagenberg.info has done some work in this area and has achieved some great results. 78 micro Amps is what can be expected with a flash of new firmware and a small hardware hack.
"manually soldering a single wire of a stranded cable between the reset pin of the module and the XPD_DCDC (8) pin of the MCU, I also removed the red power LED by simply prying it off with a tiny screw driver. With these two modifications, the module is able to make use of the deep-sleep mode and successfully resets and restarts after waking."

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II is a book of powerful and inspirational short stories written by teens, for teens. These life lessons cover a wide variety of topics, including relationships, acts of kindness, physical and emotional struggles, and many more.
Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II was the first book I've read in the series, and hopefully will be the first of many that I'll get. This book had many stories that I related with, and made me smile, laugh, and even get some tears in my eyes.
This book, along with others in the series, is a must-have for teen readers, as it has something for everyone. This book basically tells teenagers that when they are dealing with harsh times, they are not alone.

Never Fall Down is based on the true story of Arn Chorn-Pond, a survivor of the brutal life in the Khmer Rouge, a communist party that had taken over Cambodia. Arn is a normal, if impoverished, boy who suddenly gets thrust into the violent life of the Khmer Rouge, and is made to commit to many things just to stay alive. Learning music is one. Handling a gun is another.
Never Fall Down was an amazing book. Powerful and poignant, it bound my heart and tugged at its strings to make a significant impact. Arn's story is memorable and something that I will read again and again.
I definitely recommend everyone to read this book. History junkies will especially like Never Fall Down. However, there are definitely some graphic aspects to this book, so read at your own discretion.

Anne Frank is a 13-year-old Jewish girl, who spends two years of her short life hiding in a cramped attic, located in Amsterdam, along with several other families. This real-life story takes place in 1942. Anne and her family are in the "Secret Annexe," because at the time, the Nazis were occupying Holland. Anne keeps a diary, in which she writes all about her life.
The story of Anne Frank is very touching and powerful. It is a remarkable book that is perfect for any advanced reader. I liked it because of the plot line and vivid details. It is interesting to read about a girl your age, and to compare your life to her's.
If you are interested about learning more about Europe's history, and discovering how life was back then, you should consider reading The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank. You won't be disappointed!

Desert Flower was written by a well-known model Waris Dirie. The most amazing factor of this book is that this is a true story and is still as or more interesting than fiction. The reader explores the life of a circumcised woman in Somalia and all of her obstacles.
I love this book based on the fact that Waris Dirie's life as a child must have been difficult, and you explore a different country with different cultures. The type of society we pretend doesn't exist is still alive and well in other countries. This book is an eye- opener to our lack of knowledge beyond our country.
I would certainly recommend this book to older teens due to the inappropriate and intense scenes. This book truly captivates the reader and reinforces the lesson that not all of our lives will be easy and there will be challenges we must overcome. The title is a symbol, because a beautiful flower or woman like Waris can grow from anywhere, even in the desert, and still prosper.

This book really is chicken soup for the teenage soul; it's about real life experiences that real teenagers braved through. This book is comprised of over 50 stories, relating to the typical issues that we all face. It reminds us that we aren't the only teens dealing with these problems.
I think that this book is great because it's a great turn-to book when you need some good old comfort. It's about stories and lessons that have been shared by fellow teens/adults.
I would recommend this book for anyone 11 years old or older. It's the perfect book to turn to when you're feeling down. If you love real stories on life lessons, you'll absolutely love Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul III!

The Diary of a Young Girl is set in the 1940's during the Holocaust. The story is a translated version of the real-life diary of Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl who hid with her family from Nazis occupation.
This book gives a real life look into the lives and minds of Anne Frank and her family, who had all been living in hiding for two long years. This book was simply mind-blowing; it's nearly impossible to believe that Anne, a normal teenager who struggled with little problems like the rest of us, was able to stay so strong till the very end. It is an inspirational book because it shows Anne's constant perky spirit, but it is also a very serious memoir of one of the millions of victims of concentration camps during the Holocaust.
I would recommend this book to people ages 13 and up because it is a deeper read touching on the delicate topic of the persecution of the Jewish people during WWII. If you enjoy real stories about the persistence of the human spirit, you will love this book.

Straw Claw Chopper Blades.
Kondex Straw Claw® chopper blades deliver the ultimate value in residue management and product performance. Our patented, self-serrating design uses a laser cladding additive on a through-hardened blade to control product wear and maintain blade sharpness longer. Controlled wear results in less chipping and blade damage, which in turn helps better maintain rotor balance and minimize maintenance.
Patent number 9,686,911
Straw Claw Performance versus Traditional Blades.
- Improved residue management (optimized size and distribution)
- Longer maintained rotor balance
- Extended product life
- Sustained blade sharpness
- Consistent performance throughout life of blade

Blade and Hardware Replacements.
Straw Claw® chopper blades are replacement products (not original manufacturer components) for select late model combines using flail-style choppers. To ensure rotor balance is maintained, blades are supplied in packs of two, four, or eight pieces.
Hardware replacement is recommended in conjunction with blade changes. Hardware kits vary by combine model, and include bushings, cap screws, lock nuts, and washers.
Stay-Sharp Design.
A sharp knife is an efficient knife. Straw Claw® features a self-serrating design that sharpens as it cuts. Gained from our TungstrongTM laser cladding enhancement that directs the wear pattern of the blade edge, this design also allows for easier cutting and a reduction in fuel consumption.
Unlike the hard facing techniques used on traditional knives, Straw Claw's® laser cladding application won't easily chip off, preventing premature blade dulling, inconsistent wear or imbalance, and replacement.
Straw Claw® provides a consistent wear pattern to keep your rotor balanced and prevent damage to bushings and bearings.
Kondex Straw Claw® patented, self-serrating design.
Straw Claw Earns AE50 Award.
Straw Claw® blades have been recognized as a winner of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers' (ASABE) AE50 Award - a distinction that honors the year's most innovative designs in engineering products or systems for the food and agricultural industry.

Innovative Growth Companies
Growing a business is a complex process in which many factors come into play. Some of the value created when starting the company can easily be wiped out during subsequent investment rounds if legal issues have been neglected. It is therefore important to be adequately prepared and reflect on how every decision can impact your company's future. NautaDutilh has created Kreskado, a specialised platform for innovative growth companies to make sure employee benefits plans, non-disclosure and licensing agreements, general conditions, IP portfolios, and corporate records and factsheets are all expertly prepared and drafted in order to avoid possible confusion and strengthen your legal position.
Based on our experience, we know that it's not always clear how your law firm can play a role and assist you with these aspects. That's why NautaDutilh has developed a specialised approach with a dedicated team. To help you, an innovative growth company, deal with the issues you face so that you can focus on growing your business, secure in the knowledge that other aspects are being taken care of by skilled professionals.
Kreskado is the Esperanto word for growth and perfectly encapsulates the platform's aim: to provide assistance and advice to young, innovative companies and accompany them as they grow. On this platform, you can find answers to most frequently asked questions. With the help of selected clients (CEOs of growth companies, investors and business consultants), we have created an extensive Q&A in which we provide answers to over 30 questions. We are sure you will find it helpful. Indeed, according to Annie Van Broekhoven, the CEO of Q-Biologicals,
"it would have been very helpful to have had this Q&A when setting up the company."
But that's not all. In our contacts and conversations with decision-makers at growth companies, investors and business consultants, as well as in our survey of technology transfer offices and our regular dealings with patent agents and other intermediaries, we detected a significant need for high-quality standard legal templates, with clear explanations and, where appropriate, checklists and additional explanatory memoranda. To answer this need, NautaDutilh has created, YICLaw, a dedicated portal, where growth companies can find all relevant information and documentation. In a password-protected area, clients can find and work on their own NautaDutilh templates. Contact email@example.com to learn more about our special packages.
A match made in heaven?
Under this title, NautaDutilh surveyed the expectations of the technology transfer offices (TTOs) of all Belgian universities, as well as Qbic and VIB. The findings were summarised in our report Belgian TTOs and Their Spin-offs, which provided fresh insight into the success factors and necessary support for spin-offs. We compared the findings against our own experience working with growth companies and found that they are very much aligned. The reference to a "match made in heaven" should thus be construed as referring not only to the relationship between Belgian TTOs and their spin-offs but also between TTOs, spin-offs and growth companies, on the one hand, and NautaDutilh, on the other.

Your eyes can be the enemy of your stomach, according to food psychologist Brian Wansink, the author of the book Mindless Eating. The trick is to be mindful and aware when eating.
Wansink says that visual cues can lead to increased consumption, and the body's internal cues can't be trusted to signal when its full.
"The lesson is, don't rely on your stomach to tell you when you are full," says Wansink. "It can lie."
The Cornell researcher described an experiment in which moviegoers were given popcorn in large or extra-large containers. He found that those with extra-large containers ate 45 percent more popcorn than those with the regular size.
In another experiment, Wansink constructed a "bottomless bowl." The first group of subjects was given a normal bowl, and the second, a bowl researchers secretly refilled from the bottom through a pressure-fed tube. Those with the refilling bowl told researchers were not even aware that they had eaten 73 percent more soup that the first group.

Title: Beauty of the Haunted House
Also known as:
Hung Jaak Yin Ji
Year: 1998
Genre: Comedy / Erotica / Horror
Language: Cantonese
Runtime: 88 min
Director: Ka Ka
Writer: Ka Ka
IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0344906/
After being blackmailed into selling his family's villa, Mr. Ai sends his son, Eddie, along with two other employees to the villa in order to help convince Eddie's Uncle into selling as well. Upon Eddie's arrival, he begins to have a strange feeling of deja vu and it isn't long before he's visited by the spirit of Chanel. A lonely ghost who was once the lover of Eddie's grandfather but died under horrible circumstances. Before they can sell the property, Eddie must uncover the dark and horrifying secrets of his family's past and solve the mystery as to what happened to Chanel.
Our thoughts:
After the borefest that was "Deadly Camp" I decided to plunge into my collection of bootlegs (shhh! don't tell anybody I said that) to try and find a Hong Kong film that could redeem my day. There had to be some unwatched Hong Kong fried gold in my pile of crap! What I ended up grabbing was "Beauty of the Haunted House"; some random title I picked up some odd years back that I knew nothing about. However, "Beauty of the Haunted House" didn't salvage my day like I had hoped but it did leave me hopelessly confused as to what I had just watched.
A dumpling of a Chinese business man, Mr. Ai, is caught in a 4-way tryst with some lovely ladies on a boat and is soon blackmailed into selling his family's villa to a Japanese corporation. Not wanting the images of his high seas orgy getting out, Ai sends his son, Eddie, and two other employees out to the villa to convince Eddie's Uncle to sell the property. While there, Eddie learns of his grandfather's indiscretions when he is visited by the spirit of a woman who use to be a whore and was his grandfather's lover. Soon Eddie is sucked into the spirit world and begins to uncover the horrifying past of the villa and the dark secrets that are hidden below.
"Beauty of the Haunted House" isn't nonsensical to a point that you can't follow the plot -- although it does get quite convoluted at times -- but rather it's confusing because the movie is so many things at once. More often than not the movie plays for laughs; there's more sex than horror but each element does what it can to try to make the audience laugh. Whether it's watching Mr. Ai getting beat viciously in the face with the breasts of his mistress to the point that it leaves welts on his face. Or the over-the-top martial arts battles between the living and the dead. Sadly though, there are no hoping spirits ("Mr. Vampire" anyone?) in "Beauty of the Haunted House". That seemed to be the only thing missing from this schlock-fest.
Even though movie is clearly intended to be a comedy it some how manages to cover a spectrum of genres by going from comedy to horror, romance to exploitation and even softcore porn to kung fu. Yet some how, SOME HOW "Beauty of the Haunted House" was still as boring as "Deadly Camp" was. The only reason it managed to hold my attention for as long as it did was due to my attempts at trying to make sense out of the genre-mutt of a movie. The plot is easy enough to follow but it's hard to know where the movie was going between the sex, slapstick and political/social commentary -- another element that gets thrown in at the end.
The entertainment from the insanity only last for a short while though and soon "Beauty of the Haunted House" becomes another monotonous 'wacky' Hong Kong flick. I think fans of the more unusual and comedic Hong Kong films would probably enjoy this movie because of how ridiculous it is. There's not much here for anyone else though as it only does just enough to keep ahold of your attention.
Negative things:
- Random to the point that it's often nonsensical. Not in a good way either.
- White subtitles!
- The English subtitles don't make any sense and are often quite insane.

For a material as old as time, wood seems to get less than complete respect in the art world.
For a material as old as time, wood seems to get less than complete respect in the art world.
Museums and art centers regularly display sculptures of stone, metal or glass but not so often forms of pine, cherry or oak.
About every two years, however, the Ohio Craft Museum steps up with an exhibit of wood-turned forms.
This year's showcase, "Be Our Guest: A Progressive Invitational," will open today in the museum on W. 5th Avenue.
"Every time we do an exhibit, we see new things," Artistic Director Betty Talbott said. "These wood-turners don't just make bowls. They make all kinds of forms and sculptures. . . . This is an area that has been overlooked a bit in the art world."
The exhibit's premise is to display works by 15 wood masters and 30 "guests" -- emerging artists who work in wood and were invited by the masters to participate.
Jacques Vesery, a sculptor who has worked in the medium since playing with wood as a toddler, is one of the masters. Speaking from his studio in Damariscotta, Maine, he agreed that "wood turning" can be a confusing term.
"Even after you explain what it is, people still don't understand it," he said. "I always say that 'wood turning' is sculptural and based on utilitarian forms. The part about 'turning' is that sometimes the lathe is the easiest tool to use."
Others compare wood turning to creating pottery on a wheel -- except that with the lathe, unlike the wheel, the artist is holding an object parallel to the floor.
"The other big difference is that instead of having to add material, we take it away," said Vesery, 49. "You see this form evolve out of a block of wood."
He considered carefully, he said, before asking a Hawaiian couple, Sharon Doughtie and Pat Kramer of Oahu, to be "guest" artists. Both create completely different works, with Kramer focused on using wood that grows in tropical climates.
Most artists who work in wood, Vesery said, are attracted to its warmth and tactile nature.
New York artist Ed Kelle, one of the emerging artists in the exhibit, describes each day of working at the lathe as a "new adventure."
"Nothing compares to the experience of taking a piece of wood and watching a shape develop," he said, "while revealing the secrets nature has hidden in its grain."
Vesery has created many pieces that look as if they were made of stone.
"Some of the pieces in this exhibit will be very thin-walled vessels," he said. "They may look heavy, but, if you would pick them up, you'd say, 'Oh, my gosh, how can this piece be so light?'
"It's a shame you can't touch works in an exhibit, because half of the joy of wood is how tactile it is."
Those who purchase a wood-turned work can certainly touch it all they wish. Nearly all of the works in the exhibit are for sale, with a price range reflecting the diversity -- from about $250 to $12,000.
firstname.lastname@example.com� "Be Our Guest: A Progressive Invitational" continues through March 28 in the Ohio Craft Museum, 1665 W. 5th Ave. Hours: 1 to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. Call 614-486-4402 or visit .
