Demon, a Tech Support NPC has been ego napped by Nine Lives and forced to act as their on-site hacker. He is stored in an imfomorph on a Ghostrider Module implanted into one of the Nine Lives enforces.
A Nine Lives crew is conducting nefarious business when security agents attack. Demon has already infiltrated the local mesh (that of this section of the habitat) via the slow hacking method, but the enforcers order him to attack the security forces. Demon begins his brute force hacking.
First action will be to Sniff for a wireless connection to a security forces. Afterlocating it, he tries to brek in.
He has InfoSec 50, a +10 exploit program, and a muse assisting. Because he is rushing the job (-30 in this case) and Speed 3 (-20% time to complete a task), the job will take 10 turns. As an informoprh, he cannot have Mental Speed. After 10 turns, he rolls his InfoSec 50 plus 10, and gains access to one security guards mesh, and has a Locked status. The Security force have all of their personal devices slaved to their mesh inserts.
Next turn, he rolls InfoSec to subvert this security's Smart Link, forcing the user to shoot a friend. Next action he does it again, and on his last action, ejects the weapon's magazine (each action requiring a roll with a modifier)
Did I get this right?

Alec Jackson the Man Behind the Hooks….and a whole lot more. By VERN-OArticles, Book Reviews & Excerpts, featured, Fly Tying Tips — By Kevin Hospodar on October 19, 2011 9:39 pm
I still consider myself a novice in the world of two-handed rods and Spey flies. What I do know for sure is when it comes to Spey flies you can't get away from the name Alec Jackson. Most recognizable in the series of Daiichi brand hooks that he developed. As I sit at my vise and tie Spey fly after Spey fly, his name keeps flashing in front of me. I keep asking who is Alec Jackson and how did he get his name on every pack of these elegant and beyond durable hooks? A few years back, a video on tying spade flies made its way to my hands and I was intrigued to say the least by the robust fellow sitting behind a Nor-vise with a slight accent and a pair of magnifying glasses to aid in tying. What I noticed immediately was the smoothness which he spoke exuding confidence and experience. He tyed some spectacularly fishable flies with such an appeal that it makes you want to run down and tie your own before watching the entire video. There is something very believable and reassuring in his explanation and reasoning in design. Low and behold the man at the vise in the video was Alec Jackson. Before I knew it I was watching Flies For the Pacific Northwest and as life would have it, I never really got the time to continue to tie his signature flies. As I slid further into the Spey fly tying world, the packs of hooks turned to boxes and the urge to know more about the man behind the hooks and videos grew.
I did what any twenty first century angler would do, I "googled" Alec Jackson. 3,660,000 possibilities later, I realized this was going to be tougher than I thought, since every imaginable Spey fly dressing, Spey fly shop, or Spey forum in the world has commented on Alec Jackson hooks at some point and frequently. To find something written about the man himself was virtually impossible. I did gig up a reprint of an article Alec wrote for Wild Steelhead & Atlantic Salmon (premiere issue) and it stated that he was now retired and ran Yorkshire Flyfishers a purveyor of fine silks and tying materials. Certainly there must be website for this? Nope, but I did manage to find a phone number.
We're off to the races, a tangible lead! What do I do now? I picked up the phone and called him and expressed my interest to know more about him and maybe generate a small article about him. He was willing and ready right then, I unfortunately was not, since I wanted to be sure I had the right Alec Jackson and the right questions to ask the man behind the hook. We played a bit of phone tag and after that I eventually got to pick his brain a bit. Phone interviews are not my favorites to do. We were three time zones away and I had a few sheets of pre-printed questions to jot down notes on, which by the end of our conversation wound up looking like some sort of quantum physics equation.
Alec Jackson is a worldly fellow and it doesn't take long to figure that out. Alec Jackson was born in 1929 making him a spirited 82 years old. He was born in Selby, Yorkshire, England. The forestry commission of England sent him to New Zealand to work for the Forest Service in 1949. Within two years he was the assistant forester. He had studied forestry before going to New Zealand. He wound up doing graduate school research on woody plant cell walls toward a dual degree in forestry and physical chemistry in Seattle, Washington around 1956. He worked part time for a commercial mill while going to grad school and got into a "rhubarb" of a dispute with his boss in New Zealand. His boss demanded that he return to New Zealand, instead Alec resigned and finished his thesis at the University of Washington. A Hungarian graduate student and friend got him a job with a company called Fiber Research. Within a short time he owned 5% of the company. After a year Alec was part owner at 20% and then president of the newly formed Parkinson, Crosby, and Works. In 1969 Alec sold the business to a friend. At this time Alec and his wife had agreed to take $20,000 dollars and work with Partridge to design and market a better Spey hook.
Partridge proved to be difficult to work with and the mutual business plan fell apart after nine years and Alec had lost most of his investment. Alec took his desire to market suitable hooks to Daiichi and the Angler Sport Group. From there he worked with Paul Betters. Paul was at the very least a little gun shy in dealing with Spey hooks since the previous designs were not very successful. Daiichi came up with the first 750,000 size 3 Spey hooks and Alec negotiated an additional 15% discount. When Alec had shown signs of success he sweetened his deal with Daiichi and purchased two hook-stamping machines for $4,000 each to help broaden the Spey hook variety. From there the relationship between Angler Sport Group and Alec Jackson blossomed. Alec's next move was to negotiate his name on each pack of hooks he designed and royalties as well. Within five years of dealing with Angler Sport Group he convinced them to have Daiichi process the heavy wire, 3/0 Spey and the blind-eye hooks. This was slow in coming and the price in doing business would mean the return loop eye and the blind eye hooks would cost the same to manufacture even though the engineering and materials in blind eye hooks is noticeably less. Alec also proved his worth by applying his physics background and assisting more in designing hooks. High bending resistance, design shape, and forge placement are all areas that Alec has dabbled in to help make Daiichi hooks the leader in the industry today. To date Alec has his named signed to Spey, blind eye, North Country wet, salt, and tube fly hooks through Daiichi. I already mentioned some informative fly tying videos. What about Yorkshire Flyfisher you ask? Well Alec runs this as a distribution center. He is one of the largest distributors for Pearsall's silks in the world. He covers Japan, Canada, and the United States. He has the exclusive rights to distribute a handful of colors including java brown and jasper, which are wildly popular in the bamboo rod builder's circles. He also works closely to distribute silks with Hareline Dubbin. Alec has even gone so far as to convince Pearsall's to bring back colors that went to the wayside including green highlander and straw. The silk worm doesn't stop there; he also distributes a brand of Japanese silk in the United States and Canada that classic salmon fly tiers can't get enough of. Alec speaks with great enthusiasm about these. This silk is just superb and has an eye-catching iridescence and translucency.
How does a man of eighty keep all this going? There has to be strong family support behind him. Alec has been married for 57 years to his wife Rose. They have three wonderful sons and six grandchildren; three girls ranging from eight to twenty seven years old and three boys ranging from fifteen to twenty four years old. Alec mentioned that he hopes to turn the business over to his youngest son Stephen Jackson, who is one the finest chironimid fishermen in the country. Alec wastes no time in speaking of his entire family with great pride and respect. Ages, residence, careers, and characteristics flow from him like the Skagit River. Everyone seems to have a certain degree of fishing ability in the Jackson family. You can feel Alec brighten up as he mentions that his youngest granddaughter at the age of seven caught a stunning five-pound pink salmon while trolling. She is also learning the art of fly casting on a bamboo rod. What better tool for the job than a Daryll Whitehead rod!!!
Alec was a "hook freak" at an early age. His fascination was so strong that he still has a few silkworm gut snelled North Country soft hackle hooks that have been in his possession for more than 65 years. A copy of the 1929 Hardy's Angling Guide had as he describes "the most beautiful hooks ever seen". You can feel Alec light up as if he's seeing them again for the first time as he describes the oval wire used in their construction. He goes on to explain how it got the ball rolling for him in the pursuit of hook forging excellence. As our conversation progressed I had to ask what his favorite fly to tie was, and without hesitation he stated "a spade". According to Alec two tiers created the spade simultaneously; Jerry Wentle's Western Wizard and Bob Arnold's spade, which in those days had the racial stigma attached. Alec has taken the spade to a whole new level and is still a proven fish catcher today. With that he affixes his spades to the "terribly slow action" rods like the Bruce & Walker 10'3" Hexagraphite with a 5/6 double taper line and a nine-foot shooting head. For salmon fishing a Folcust 7 weight with a 4/5 double taper line. Alec confesses that he is not a big fan of today's fast action graphite rods.
Alec being a notable tier and fly fisherman. I asked him what he thought of the some of the bigger names in today's steelhead and Spey scene. I threw out a couple of the bigger names and Alec paused and gathered his words carefully. He spoke of Ed Ward with the highest regard and felt his potential is extraordinary. Ed Ward "lives for steelhead" and "has a fabulous mind for writing". I then asked if there were any names that haven't gotten the recognition deserved or up and coming. Alec tossed out several names and described each in detail. I wrote hieroglyphic encrypted notes as feverishly as I could, not wanting to interrupt the momentum of our conversation. Seattle glass artist Joe Rossano came up as Alec described his drive to go back and learn the art of fly tying and two-handed fishing through the original literature. Harry Lemire surfaced as well for his unbridled talents in tying classic salmon flies with out a vise. Yes, you read that right; he ties full dress salmon flies while holding the hook in hand. As for the future of our sport Alec said that with the likes of Bio-chemist Joe Brown and glass artist Ben Cobb the species and the art will continue to grow. With that said we talked about the future of steelhead fishing. He remarked that today's younger generation is paying attention to preserving and protecting our resources. Alec commented that he knew of a steelhead taping out at 47½ " and of others presumed to still be lurking in the waters we so often descend upon. Alec had generously sent me literature and articles that had already been written and among them were responses he had written to the now famed steelheader, John Shewey. One response in their correspondence played in my head over and over and changed the way I viewed steelhead fishing forever. "Steelhead should be fished for with great respect. My choice is good gear and as good a fly as I can tie. Yet, I cannot bring myself to say that steelhead fishing should be limited to fly fishing". Fly fishing means different things to many people, for Alec it's a way of life. Our phone conversations from there went deeper into the need to continue to educate and positively reinforce the values of conservation and not just steelhead alone. What we hold so deeply in our heart should be released from our grasp and shared with others. The fight to keep the waters clean and flowing should never wander from our minds as we let each drift swing in pursuit of another tug.

I found your artical about AJ intereasting and informitive. I find that talking to the old timers to get info is the beat way. As said in the artical, learn what they know and use it to make the world a better place for everyone.
Your time was well spent and we readers appreciate you sharing your conversation with Mr. Jackson.
I have two videos of Mr. Jackson tying flies, (Hooked On Fly-Tying) those two videos have been most helpfull in tying of Salmon and Spey flies. Can you tell me if Mr. Jackson has made any more tying vodeos, if so I'd love to have one.
Mr. Jackson I am now a two-hander and I love it, you are a remarkable tyer, and a real tribute to our sport of fly fishing.

A very nice piece for a man that I am lucky enough to call a friend,I have told Alec that a book should be written about him and the people he has known.I was lucky enough to get to fish with Alec and later do meet Syd Glasso,these are two of the kindest men I have ever known and I truly believe that I am a better person for knowing them.
Bill ElliottVA:F [1.9.13_1145]
I had the good fortune of sitting in a fly shop on several Saturdays when I lived in Washington and watching Alec tie and listen to his stories and he is an awesome tier and a delight to watch. I have a couple of his flies he tied along with the card he signed to go with it for my collection. If you ever get the chance to meet and watch him tie don't pass it up.VA:F [1.9.13_1145]
I bought this hook for salmon and steelhead more than 16 years ago, but did not used much and I have still less than 2 packs of hooks left silver and gold color made by Daiichi Japan and want to tie some flies( The design of the hook is unique, but here all hooks should be barbless, so I have to break all barbs. I don't know now if they make barbless or not. We here in British Columbia flies are different than atlantic classic flies or other flies.VA:F [1.9.13_1145]
I got the pleasure of sitting in on some fly tying classes about 17 (or so) years ago at The Avid Angler in Seattle. Alec was our teacher. His enthusiasm for the sport was a real treat. His detailed stories were every bit as good as the lessons themselves. I have long since moved away from steelhead waters off to Colorado but those nights at the table are still fondly remembered. I know it's been awhile but bravo on your article!VA:F [1.9.13_1145]

Product benefits
Technical Information
For anyone between about 1.45 and 1.85 m tall. So plenty of people! You can adjust the height of the MID 9 scooter. It's also kitted out for riding in town (journeys of up to 2 km). For longer journeys we recommend scooters from Oxelo's Town range.
In terms of the maximum load, it can be used by anyone weighing up to 100kg.
Yes! The MID 9 is kitted out for comfort: front and rear mudguards to protect from splashes in wet weather, brake on the handlebar, suspension, and large wheels (175 mm) to get past obstacles such as kerbs.
The MID 9 scooter has suspension and a front and rear mudguard to protect you from splashes in wet weather.
You should always wear protective equipment (helmet, knee pads and elbow pads) when scootering.
Most serious accidents take place during the first few months of use: spend time learning the basics so that you can control your speed and brake in emergency situations in all weather conditions (particularly on wet terrain, always make sure to use your foot brake).
What does the standard cover?
The EN 14619 standard defines the safety requirements and test methods for roller sports equipment.
Check the condition of your scooter before and after each use, as well as its ability to brake properly, and make sure there is no abnormal play, cracks, or sharp edges.
The wheels and bearings are parts that wear out. Remember to check them and change them if necessary.
You can repair and extend the lifespan of your scooter with spare parts that can be ordered through your local Decathlon store's Workshop.
All of our scooters have been lab tested. These tests check compliance with the European standards for scooters, as well as looking for wear. For example, one of our tests involves a machine folding the scooter 10,000 times to check its folding system.
As well as lab tests we do field tests - some measured and others based on the testers' opinions - to really put the product through its paces. The result is a tested, proven product.

The Wind In the Willows: Illustrated (Paperback)
Available from warehouse in 1-5 business days
Staff Reviews
Ah, the legendary exploits of Mole, Rat, Badger, and Toad! While intended for children, Grahame's classic is essential reading for even high-minded existentialists, with meditations on nature, individuality, friendship, responsibility, courage, and addiction. This edition features Ernest H Shepard's expert illustrations that perfectly capture the charm and complexity of this great book.— Jon
For more than a century, The Wind in the Willows and its endearing protagonists--Mole, Mr. Toad, Badger, and Ratty--have enchanted children of all ages. Whether the four friends are setting forth on an exciting adventure, engaging in a comic caper, or simply relaxing by the River Thames, their stories are among the most charming in all English literature. The Wind in the Willows is a children's novel by Kenneth Grahame, first published in 1908. Alternately slow moving and fast paced, it focuses on four anthropomorphised animals in a pastoral version of England. The novel is notable for its mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality, and camaraderie and celebrated for its evocation of the nature of the Thames valley. In 1908, Grahame retired from his position as secretary of the Bank of England. He moved back to Cookham, Berkshire, where he had been brought up and spent his time by the River Thames doing much as the animal characters in his book do-namely, as one of the phrases from the book says, "simply messing about in boats"-and wrote down the bed-time stories he had been telling his son Alistair.

The Iranian market is an attractive, though in some extent unpredictable market. The opportunities are great, but not always international companies dare to take big steps at once. Most of the companies, especially the mid size ones prefer to start in the market slowly and keep it steady in minimizing cost, outsourcing as much as possible in the initial phase.
Out of the need of the many companies we have established in Iran, to receive professional financial services, especially in their early stages of their start up phase, we soon started to provide accounting, book keeping, payroll services, tax, social security services and cosec services.
In this field we have developed great experience and are proud to be of assistance to well known and ambitious companies.

Sexy, low-lit and effortlessly cool, this grill-bar-club just behind Old Street station offers top notch steaks, killer cocktails and a party atmosphere that pulls in the crowds seven nights a week. Channelling our best old Hollywood glamour, we headed east to find out more…
McQueen Shoreditch can be found on Tabernacle Street, a quiet side street behind the buzz of Old Street station. The venue offers a popular cocktail bar, bedecked with Chesterfield sofas and exposed brickwork, The Grill restaurant, which is sexy and low-lit with glitzy chandeliers and dark wood tables, and a basement club with cutting-edge speakers and a contemporary soundtrack.
We'd come for dinner, so went straight through into The Grill for a three-course feast. The inspiration behind the venue is pretty obvious, from the Steve McQueen photographs peppering the walls, to whisky-club feel and all-American steak-focussed menu.
We sunk into our comfy seats, thoughtfully topped with a furry throw, and scanned the menu, created by former Hawksmoor Head Chef, Richard Sandiford.
Our attentive waiter had chosen our wine, which was a deliciously smooth French red, but I decided to also opt for a Honey Trap mocktail. It arrived quickly in a fancy glass with icing sugar rim, and was a deliciously tangy blend of honey syrup and lemon juice.
To start we chose the homemade Italian meatballs and the Gravadlax. Service at McQueen was friendly and quick, despite the fact the room had filled up quickly, and we didn't have to wait long for our dishes to arrive.
The meatballs were plump and coated in a velvety cheese polenta sauce and decorated with thin piquillo peppers; the Gravadlax fresh, accompanied with soft dill infused cheese, thin, crispy rye bread and tangy pickles.
Both starters were excellent, but the steaks are the star of the show here. I opted for a piece of sirloin, my plus one chose the rib eye. Both mouth-watering dry-aged steaks were extremely generous in size and just on the rare side of medium rare. The peppercorn sauce was creamy with a hint of heat and the sides simply exceptional.
Seriously though, I don't care if you have to get into a bikini next week - the triple-cooked chips and smoked cheddar mac and cheese are absolute musts. Oh, and the purple sprouting broccoli with smoked cheddar gratin and the chantenay carrots are too. Basically everything on the menu is great.
We ended our meal with the most delicious salted caramel ice cream and a gooey chocolate brownie. The Grill at McQueen really is a culinary gamechanger.

I remember 31 Dec 1999 so clearly because unlike other New Year's, this one was special as we were stepping into a new Millennium albeit with Y2K anxiety. Of course, everything did not turn out to be as dramatic as it was hyped but it did get everyone in the celebration mood. And the same day, London got it's new city-centered, ever-turning giant Ferris wheel, offering a unique bird's-eye view.
The Millennium Wheel or The London Eye was designed by David Marks and Julia Barfield when their idea won the 1993 competition organized by London's Sunday Times. Its official sponsorship has changed hands from British Airways to Merlin Entertainments and is now with EDF Energy.
It is a modern take on a traditional Ferris wheel with a few distinct differences. For one, you sit in fully enclosed capsules rather than dangling gondolas. Two, the entire structure of the London Eye is supported on one side only, allowing the wheel to hang over the River Thames.
The location of London Eye is spectacular, at the western end of Jubilee Gardens, on the South Bank of the River Thames between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge.
I was drawn by this majestic looking beast that stands proudly on a plinth on top of Westminster Bridge, near the County hall. This is the Coade Stone Lion aka the Westminster Bridge Lion aka the South Bank Lion. This sculpture has seen a fair bit of London history in it's over 175 year old existence…

Impact of the new I-140 regulations

My I-140 approved (India/EB2) from Employer A in June 2015, I joined Employer B in Oct 2016. Employer A sent revocation of my I-140, on USCIS website today is showing below status: "On December 7, 2016, we received your correspondence for Form I-140 ..." Will I still be eligible for 3 years of multiple H-1 extension with my approved I-140 from employer A without filing new I-140?PDF version
Watch the Video on this FAQ: Impact of the new I-140 regulations
Video Transcript:
Your revocation of the I-140 is occurring from December 7 which is before January 17 where you would have been protected. I am worried that in your case if there was a revocation you will not be allowed for multiple H-1 extensions based upon an I-140 that has been revoked. If the revocation was from January 17 onwards you would be fine, but if it is before January 17 you will no longer have the right to keep getting H-1 extensions if the employer revokes your I-140. That was the old law. More...

Registered Charity Number: 1037414
Clean Rivers Trust was formed in November 1990 as a response to the declining water quality of the River Trent that was reported by the UK National Rivers Authority's Report on River Water Quality 1990.
1 of 4 million anglers in the UK another satisfied customer
Working with all concerned, the water regulators and sewage treatment provider, the Trust gained huge expenditure undertakings and an agreed program of clean up. The Trent is now cleaner than it has been since the industrial revolution and the depopulation of the countryside and the concentration of populations in cities and towns.
The Trust has been involved in the remarkable changes across most of the UK's river improvements since 1991 and has alone responded to over 600 consultation documents issued by the National Rivers Authority; now the Environment Agency, The Scottish Environment Protection Agency and the various government departments from DoE, Defra, Dti and Home Office.
Clean Rivers Trust has been at the forefront of the research into methods of ameliorating pollution from abandoned mines, in the UK, Europe and further a field. It published its first report and outlined the concerns at the House of Commons with-in three weeks of Mr Michael Heseltine's (then President of the Board of Trade) announcement of major UK coal mine closures, in November 1991 and developed close working/research arrangements with Camborne School of Mines (Exeter University) and Imperial College London (Royal School of Mines) very shortly afterwards. Ten years of this collaboration was published as 'Minewater Treatment; Technology, Application and Policy' by Brown, Barley and Wood and published by the International Water Association in 2002.
The Trust has carried out research across many parts of the country into not just contaminated water but all forms of pollution as they all will eventually impact on the aqueous environment. The issues of land remediation and air pollution play key roles in the research carried out by the organisation. This involves working with, alongside as well as for or recommending to. The Trust is an educational as well as a research trust and as such has worked with universities (to date 31), other seats of higher education and a large number of schools to aid and support research and understanding of the varieties and natures of the water environment and its uses.
The trust every year welcomes many researchers to make use of its unique library that holds stock unavailable elsewhere in Europe. At present the publications held number well over 15,000 and range from all National Rivers Authority and Environment Agency and Scottish Environmental Protection Agency reports from 1990 to 2005; when most were then published to the World Wide Web. The vice county and regional floras of the UK are stocked as well as a good and growing cross section of Middle Eastern and Asian texts. A comprehensive geological and hydrological collection; books by both the British and Scottish Geological Surveys and others are available as are a wide range of books on mining, by region, country and engineering interest.
The library is home to many rare publications and is constantly being added to.
Rivers and other water sources; groundwaters, recyclable process waters, polluted aqueous waste (that may barely resemble water) as well as surface waters are all in the remit of the charity and as such are of constant interest and enquiry. The issues of cleaning up pollution alongside sustainable uses that can both help pay for the decontamination and simultaneously protect the environment from further abstraction are of importance and ongoing research.
In the last ten years the Trust activities have developed outside the UK's boundaries and it has carried out research in France, Spain, Portugal, Eire, Greece, Cyprus, Yemen, Ethiopia, Egypt, Sierra Leone, Niger and Australia.
The Clean Rivers Trust has worked with, advising national governments, regional, county, district and parish councils, the Environment Agency, also special interest groups and even concerned individuals. The organisation has and continues to carry out briefings and due diligence research when requested. The funding for much of the ongoing work is found by carrying out these pieces of consultancy.
The organisation is able to rely on over 70 individuals who are specialists in their fields and are located, working in academic, industrial or consultancy positions around the world.The expertise that the team offers covers amongst other specialties; water decontamination, resource identification/development, sustainable resources, minerals and mining, land and air contamination, national/international law, treaties and regulation. Transport, power generation, agricultural/forestry practises, flooding and its prevention; cartography, planning, both urban ad rural are also covered, as are health issues.

Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.) is up for re-election this year and a left-leaning super PAC is doing its best to distance her from the catastrophic implementation of the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama's signature health care law.
House Majority PAC, a group "focused on holding Republicans accountable and helping Democrats win seats in the House," released a video Thursday reminding voters in the Copper State that the Democratic incumbent once "blew the whistle on the disastrous health care website."
The video adds that Kirkpatrick has recently backed proposals to address the "stunning ineptitude" of the health care rollout.
Now, the video may seem like an ordinary House re-election advertisement. But its no-nonsense take on what has been a terribly embarrassing ordeal for the Obama administration is somewhat unexpected.
Indeed, considering the fact that DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) proudly said in December that "all of our candidates" will run on the president's health care law, Kirkpatrick's willingness to admit that its implementation has so far been "disastrous" makes it look like House Majority PAC didn't get the DNC's memo.

Dow Jones Closes at Record High; Companies Continue to Release Q1 Earnings Reports
Weekly Wrap Up
Stocks continued to end mixed all week. The Dow Jones had a roller coaster of week, dropping nearly 130 points on Tuesday, then recovering the majority of that loss on Wednesday and ending the week at a new all-time high on Friday. Companies continued to release their Q1 earning reports this week and a growing trend seemed to be placing partial blame on Obamacare for companies not meeting expectations. Multiple companies are stating that increased health care prices along with new regulations are hurting their profits.

This is the first of three albums released on Epilogue records. The other two are Josefus and Truth, not really what we're looking for.
If you're not looking for trouble, that is. The Josefus album (EPI 002) has a different version of the five-hour epic apocalyptic hippie-ripper "Dead Man". Funny. We didn't even need the original version.
Enough talking about insignificant pleasantries.
What we have here is 16 tracks from 14 Indiana groups.
You could argue that this is one of those so-so, standard, meat-and-potato garage comps.
And you'd be half-right.
It tries, and fails. Tries, and fails again. Throws a sureshot - but it's too late.
This is not a watertight comp. This is the kind of comp that used to leave me frustrated and bewildered some 20 years ago.
"Do people actually like this shit?" I would ask myself. "I can't believe I paid $20 for this fucker! I can't understand why I didn't listen to it in the store! Fuck it, this is it, I'm never buying another fuckin' garage comp!!"
I lied, of course. I would buy more comps. A lot of them too. My faith would never be restored. But it wasn't Hoosier Hotshots that broke my spirit.
It was actually some impotent professor-esque albums that was flying under the flag of Big Beats Nuggets From The Golden State. It just bored me out of my fuckin face.
I swear - when I opened the CD-case, a moth stumbled out, coughed out some dust, wiped his glasses on his cotton vinyl-friendly gloves, spewed out some trivial facts about pressing plant numbers, release dates, locales and the benefit of making garage comps from masters instead of original 45's. He then checked his prostate himself, made himself a cup of green tea and passed out on the sofa. He's still there. He's funny, my friend the moth.
Yeah, Hoosier Hotshots ain't that bad. It has some immediate killers (Not killers really. More like manslaughterers. In selfdefense-ers)
We have XL's classic acid punk clawing itself into your ears. I can't stand that high-pitched fuzz but I guess it is a matter of taste.
Cirkit is undeniably one of the best tracks here.
The Endd of Out Of My Hands fame (Pebbles #9) does a pretty damn neat hazy freakbeaty slice of psych.
Those three are the only ones that really grabs you the first listen. And they're all relatively pedestrian garage.
So you feel a little bit empty the first time you've listened through it. That is when you listen to it again. If not right away, then atleast in the near future.
And then details hiding in the dark corners will emerge, voices from testosterone of yore will beckon your name and you will slowly come to a realization: this is a good album.
It is not great. But it is good.
I checked it out on Discogs and my-oh-fuck-me-my what an overpriced slice of sausage.
60 bucks? Seems legit.. I tell ya, those vinyl-collecting pharaohs are paying too much. Masochists. Consider it entry fee for the country club.
And what did I do wrong this time?
I repeated tracks. Second Choice and Tell Me Girl is on Before The Dawn goddammit!
I didn't plan to revamp this, but I did anyway, then Ichanged my mind and somehow they sipped through so when I changed my mind again I find I repeated those two fuckers.
Sorry 'bout that.
Vintage Review:
While regions such as the Northwest and New England and states like Texas, Pennsylvania, Florida, California, Ohio, Minnesota and even Colorado have been represented by 60s garage compilations, Indiana seems to have been ignored until now. To be honest, I'm not even sure where it is on the map!
However, judging from this brand new album, the Hoosier State also had its share of frustrated teenage musicians learning how to play guitars when they could've been trying out for the school football team or doing their geography homework (so they'd know where to find their home state on the map).
Hoosier Hotshots is a good package with a glossy cover (which smells great for some reason) and an info-packed 8-page booklet.
Things start out with the XLs' "Second Chance," a creepy organ mezmerizer making good use of an unusual deadpan lead vocal, but I've little use for their other cut, a later psych thing on which the guitarist applies dentist drill fuzz leads to your nerve ends.
The Cirkit show how fuzz should be used on "Yesterday We Laughed," which has a fat, aggressive fuzztone riff and some original tricks in the arrangement.
The Wild Things are anything but, yet their "I'm Not For You" is an amazing mid-tempo haunter with some inspired changes and a magical basement production: all muffled bass, cheap reverb, rattling tambourine and almost-in-tune guitars.
In the teen ballad stakes there's Sir Winston & The Commons, whose "One Last Chance" is a cool Merseyish pleader which sounds like it was recorded from inside the bass drum. The Teen Tones' "Long Cold Winter" is another heart-tugger enhanced by some lonely wind effects ala Joe Meek. Yeah!
Blues Inc. turn in a nice, Zombies-inspired tune, "Tell Me Girl," complete with electric piano and breathy Blunstoned vocals.
The Endd (of "Out of My Hands" semi-fame) make an appearance with "Come On Into My World." Trouble is, after a promising beginning, the second half of the song degenerates into a distorted facsimile of Robert Plant fronting Blue Cheer (kind of like a lot of those long-hair/cut-off jeans bands that are always on TV nowadays, come to think of it).
I prefer the Dukes' "Take Your Love," a twisted minor-key pop song with simple guitar and bass interplay and a slightly spastic rhythm which keeps the song on the verge of total collapse - hey, sometimes that's the best place to be!
Other good tracks include the Shooting Stars' "I Love Her Anyway," a pounding shouter (or should that be shouting pounder?) from the teenage Louie/Sloopy/Lupe Lu school of 3-chord tricks, the Brit-style R&B of the Backdoor Men's "Evil," and a fine incompetent thudder by the Ferris Wheel. All of these tracks support the basic premise of this enjoyable comp and others like it: to hell with sophistication - leave that to the wimps!

This past weekend our store's shoe buyer, Mecque, was invited to join New Balance on a trip to the East Coast where she visited New Balance headquarters in Boston and ran a race in New Hampshire! The race was the New Balance Reach the Beach Relay that was a 200 mile relay race from Bretton Woods to Hampton Beach. Reach the beach is the oldest and longest running relay in the United States. Her team consisted of 12 people packed in to two vans that ran for 24 hours!
How was the Reach the Beach Relay?
My legs were 3.3 miles, 9.1 miles, and 4.1 miles. The 9.1 mile leg had 702 ft of climbing, and was definitely the most challenging, but most rewarding leg of the race. I had 15 kills (runners passed) and conquered every single hill (no walking up). My right foot fell asleep around mile
3, but my team met up with me, gave me water, and that solved my problem. My biggest victory was averaging a 9:02″ pace the entire time.
What was the route for the race?

One of ALINE's differentiators is the fact every website we design and develop is custom-built. We don't outsource the design or programming, and we don't use open-source templates. Our internal programming team handles everything from a technical standpoint — from development to hosting to security.
ALINE co-founder Drew Refshauge leads that team. Drew built ALINE's proprietary PluggedIN content management system, and he either builds, assists, and/or reviews the programming of every website ALINE builds before it is delivered to the client. Drew has been building websites for more than 20 years. In fact, he started his first company, QTS, in the spring of 1999.
Needless to say, the landscape has changed A LOT since then. Hundreds of IT, web development and digital services businesses have come and gone during that time. While there have been a few iterations and a couple of name changes, Drew has been at the helm of a business in this dynamic field that entire time.
I recently sat down with Drew to talk about this journey, what he's learned, and how he sees digital marketing evolving today.
Will: Twenty years is a long time. It's an eternity in terms of technology. When you look back on when you started in this business, what are a couple of the biggest changes or tech breakthroughs that have changed what you do?
Drew: The Internet! I took my first job out of college as an IT consultant. That was back in 1998. I can remember a huge stack of programming books sitting on my desk. I was constantly flipping through them trying to memorize exact syntax for each language so I could be efficient. Now with Google you can find any answer to any question in seconds.
Will: Just as Spartanburg has grown and its business community has changed over the past 20 years, so too have you and your business. What has been the key (or a couple of keys) to your success and continual growth as a businessman?
Drew: The key for me has been a willingness to change as the world changes around me. Advancements in technology have opened a lot of new doors over the years and closed a lot of old ones. QTS was formed in 1999 as an IT consulting company. That's back in the days of the dotcom boom and before companies were using off shore labor for IT. There was a lot of opportunity and that business model was very lucrative. When the twin towers fell in 2001, business began to slow and billable rates began to drop. By the time the economy had come back, the landscape was different. It was saturated by low-cost contract workers and teams of cheap overseas programmers. It took me a few years to figure out what to do after that cycle.
Will: What was the turning point for you in the wake of that change?
Drew: The smartest thing that I ever did was to team up with my brother, Charles, to start a website company called Refshauge Web Solutions. That was obviously before we were in marketing. Can anyone even say or spell "Refshauge?" We learned a lot in those days when websites were still considered an IT function. Do you remember those days? When you would call the guy that fixes your computer to build your website?!
Will: How did the two of you build Refshauge Web Solutions into the full-service digital marketing firm ALINE?
Drew: After a couple of years as Refshauge Web Solutions we connected the dots and realized that we needed to push into the marketing world. We rebranded as ALINE in 2012 and started bringing on a team of talented marketing experts.
Will: 2012 wasn't THAT long ago. But things have changed immensely in this business since then. What changes are you focused on right now?
Drew: Change is one thing that is consistent, and it's happening faster than ever. Over the last couple of years, a new trend is happening within digital marketing and we're working hard to be at the forefront. That trend is being driven by data and artificial intelligence. And that's great news for ALINE. With our company's foundation in IT, the transition into this next chapter has been very intuitive. We're ready for this chapter and looking ahead to what will be the next one.
Will: Experience counts for a lot. At the same time, in technology, things change so fast. Does that minimize the importance of experience? How do you stay ahead of the curve?
Drew: Experience is definitely important. As technology advances, there are more tools and techniques available. But there is no substitute for real world experience. The hardest part is gaining an understanding of strategies for building things that engage people. Whether it's a marketing campaign or a web application, you have to be able to understand your audience and what their needs are. The ability to step back and do the planning is usually much more challenging than the actual implementation. The ability to do that takes experience.
Will: What advice would you give to a young programmer, designer or marketer who would like to have their own shop? Advantages of being a freelancer vs. owning a small shop vs. working for a larger agency?
Drew: Take the time to figure out what life you want to live. Each career path has pros and cons, but it really comes down to how you want to spend your days. If you don't have much real world experience, then it may make the most sense to start with a larger agency. Going that route will allow you to learn on projects that someone else is overseeing. Once you have some experience, then it's much easier to come up with a plan to start your own business if being an entrepreneur and having your own shop appeals to you.
Will: What are the next steps for ALINE?
Drew: As a company, we're pretty happy with where we are. We have a great team, amazing clients and are part of a very special community. We plan to continue to pay attention to industry trends so we can continue to provide the best work for our customers. We may try to add a few more members to our team this year. We want to grow slowly and intentionally so we can be sure to preserve our company culture.

These sugar free and vegan pumpkin truffles are made with creamy cashews, pumpkin spice, pumpkin puree, and dark chocolate for a healthy autumn treat.
This is the second in the series of guest posts while I've been away at yoga teacher training. Find the first one here.
Meet Sophie of The Green Life! Sophie started her recipe blog quite recently, and the quality of both her photos and recipes is outstanding. I think you'll be just as impressed as I am. Every recipe of hers that I've tried has been delicious.
Her blog is filled with beautiful and healthy plant based recipes. She lives in Canada too, and writes a French-language version of her blog here. If my French were up to snuff, I would have written that in French (Canada's official languages are English and French). Too bad! Ask Sophie to do it instead.
P.S. Please make these for Halloween, and then bring me some.
Hi there! My name is Sophie. I'm a holistic nutritionist and I usually blog over at The Green Life, my little online space dedicated to seasonal plant-based recipes and inspiration for a vibrant life.
I've only been blogging for a couple months, so I must say I was thrilled when Alexandra reached out to me and asked if I would accept to be a guest blogger on Occasionally Eggs. I am so excited to be here and to "meet" you all!
One of the truly amazing things about blogging is the beautiful community we're lucky to be a part of. I love meeting people who share the same passion for food and healthy living.
Alexandra is one of those people. Her recipes and food philosophy are very similar to mine, as we're both inspired by the seasons and we like to cook with ingredients in their purest, more natural form.
I don't know about you, but I've been endlessly inspired by Fall lately. The beauty of this season and its abundance of gorgeous produce sparkles all kinds of recipe ideas. I've been dreaming of pumpkin spice everything these days so the idea for these pumpkin truffles came about pretty naturally.
These cuties are seriously delicious, and dare I say, healthy. They have the perfect melt-in-your-mouth creamy texture you're looking for in a truffle, paired with the heavenly taste of a pumpkin pie.
These little bites are sugar-free, only sweetened by the natural sugars contained in dates. They're also made with cashews that have been previously soaked to release their enzyme inhibitors, for optimal digestion and nutrition. The cashews give an extra creamy texture to the filling while boosting each bite with healthy fats and protein.
When it comes to the pumpkin puree, I highly recommend that you make your own if you can. It's super easy (look for the instructions in the notes below) and so much fresher at this time of year.
And the best part is you can use leftovers in all sorts of delicious fall treats throughout the season (pancakes, muffins, bread, pie, waffles, smoothies, desserts…so many yummy ways to enjoy it!). If you do end up using canned pumpkin puree, I recommend buying one that is organic and BPA-free if possible.
As for the chocolate, I would suggest going with 70% cacao or higher, ideally from fair-trade organic sources. The slightly bitter taste of dark chocolate helps to balance the sweetness of the filling. Of course the higher the quality, the better the truffles.
I hope you enjoy these little bites of heaven! I think they would make the perfect guilt-less treat for Halloween.
Let's connect! If you liked this recipe, make sure to leave a comment below, I love hearing from you! Tag me on instagram @occasionallyeggs and #occasionallyeggs so I can see what you're making, and stay in touch via facebook, pinterest, and bloglovin.
Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Truffles
These sugar free and vegan pumpkin truffles are made with creamy cashews, pumpkin spice, pumpkin puree, and dark chocolate for a healthy autumn treat.
- 1 cup raw cashews, soaked for 2-4 hours and then rinsed well
- 10 large Medjool dates, pitted and chopped (if your dates are not soft enough, soak in water for about 10 minutes to soften)
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree*
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon + more for sprinkling
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ginger powder
- A big pinch of sea salt
- 100 grams quality dark chocolate, chopped – I used 80% cacao (about 3/4 cup chopped)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Place soaked cashews in your food processor and blend for a few minutes, until you get a creamy consistency. Add chopped dates and blend again. Then add pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger and a good pinch of sea salt. Blend until all the ingredients are well combined and you get a creamy paste (it might take a few minutes).
- Transfer the mixture into a small bowl and place in the freezer for 30-45 minutes, or until very firm.
- When the paste has firmed up, take it out of the freezer. Scoop out mixture using a ½ teaspoon and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you are able to shape balls by rolling the mixture between your hands, do so. If it's still too sticky and soft at this point, that's ok. Simply form little mounds and set the tray back in the freezer for another 30 minutes, or until the mounds are firm enough to roll.
- Place a double boiler (or a stainless bowl placed over a pot of water) on low heat and bring to a simmer. Add the coconut oil and chopped chocolate and whisk. Let melt slowly until you have a thin chocolate sauce.
- Remove the tray from the freezer. Roll each mound between your palms to form little balls.
- Using two forks, dip each ball in the melted chocolate, until completely covered. Scoop the ball out with the fork and let the extra chocolate drip off.
- Gently place each truffle back on the parchment lined sheet. Set the tray back in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has firmed up. Dust with extra cinnamon before serving. Store in the refrigerator.
*To make pumpkin puree, slice a pumpkin in half, remove seeds, and place the two halves cut side down in a baking dish or baking sheet. Bake for 30 to 50 minutes at 400F (cooking time will vary depending on the size of your pumpkin), or until the flesh is really soft. Scrape flesh and place in your food processor or blender. Pulse until you get a smooth puree.

Garrycastle collected another two league points from this game in Tang last Sunday morning. On a wet morning conditions were difficult and the standard of football was ordinary. Garrycastle, without ever hitting top gear, lead by 0-9 to 0-5 at half time and did enough in the second period to ensure a comfortable victory. After the disappointment of Westmeath's loss to Fermanagh the previous day it was good to see all of our five county players turn out for their club just 20 hours later.
GARRYCASTLE: Cathal Mullin, Mark McCallon, John Gaffey, Alan Fox, Anthony Larkin, Tom McHugh, Doran Harte, David O'Shaughnessy, Ciaran O'Neill, Justin Barrett, Gary Dolan, Matthew Guiheen, James Dolan, Paddy Mulvihill, Dessie Dolan.
SUBS: Gary Mullery for Gaffey (injured); James Duignan for O'Neill; Eoin Monaghan for Barrett.

A recent charity shop find, Nightair were just one of the hundreds of local showbands who decided to fund the recording and pressing of their own album, a collection of live favourites to sell out of the back of their Bedford Chevanne.
The trio consisted of married couple Lynda and Kevin Airey, and Lynda's brother Dave Knight. All three members sang, with Dave handling guitar duties, Kevin on drums and Lynda plying the rather oddly-named 'bass machine'. Issued in 1976, it's not a dreadful album by any measure, but it is rather insipid. This was the year punk exploded, yet the material – and their approach to it – sounds incredibly dated. And those clothes! These three seem to have bought their stage gear in a store that specialised in curtains for clowns.
Hailing from the North East, Nightair clearly fancied themselves as some sort of Carpenters/Beatles hybrid, as you can tell from the material they chose to record: the note-by-note cover of the Carpenters arrangement of Please Mister Postman, which segues awkwardly in to She Loves You, is a perfect example. Their rather avant garde (as in avant garde a clue) take on the Lennon-McCartney composition It's For You (a hit for Cilla Black) at least shows some originality, but it's let down by the stilted production. Other covers include Jambalaya (the Carpenters again), Without You (Badfinger/Nilsson), and songs by Neil Young, Stephen Stills and Paul Simon. The sleeve notes were written by Ray Fell, a reasonably well-known comedian working the circuit (and making many TV appearances) in the 60s and 70s. He later moved to the US and appeared for many years in cabaret in Las Vegas. Ray passed away in 2016.
I can't tell you much else about Nightair. They had originally been a four piece, augmented by Liz Kinght (Dave's wife), and played a 20-week season at Butlin's in Minehead in 1973. Liz left after the birth of their son, Leigh. Their recording of Jambalaya was included on a 20-track compilation, The Entertainers, issued in December 1977. They were still gigging in 1978, playing such salubrious spots as the Old Benwell Village Club, and were being advertised as 'New Faces Winners': I cannot find anything to confirm this (perhaps one of you can help?) but they did appear on Opportunity Knocks in March 1977. After another hoiliday camp residency in the summer of 1978 they seem to drop off the face of the earth.
There are currently at least two other acts knocking around using the Nightair moniker; one a young US indie trio from Orange County, the other a pair of Belgian producers who released a rather anodyne version of the Eagles One of These Nights in 2014. One half of the Belgian 'band' is Fabrice Morvan, better known to all as one half of infamous pop puppets Milli Vanilli.

How to Make It
Partially freeze tenderloins; trim fat from tenderloins. Cut tenderloins diagonally across grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices; cut slices into 1-inch pieces. Cook half of pork in 1 tablespoon margarine in a large skillet over medium-high heat 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove pork from skillet. Drain; set aside, and keep warm. Repeat procedure with remaining pork and 1 tablespoon oil.
Saute celery and garlic in remaining 1 tablespoon margarine in skillet over medium-high heat until tender. Add apple, curry powder, and ginger; saute over medium heat 6 minutes or until apple is crisp-tender. Stir in flour and red pepper. Gradually add chicken broth, cream of coconut, and tomato sauce. Return pork to skillet. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes or until pork is tender, stirring frequently. Spoon pork mixture over rice, and sprinkle with green onions and peanuts.

You've just managed to show up for training on time, and have no more time for extensive training? This series of drills solves your problem. Quick in structure, effective, and a good entry to soccer training. Form multiple small groups so that the players don't have to stand around very long during warmup.
Two cones stand vertically, spaced from one another on the exercise field. A player is posted at the side of the forward cone and with his back to the group. This player starts the exercise by running around the cone to the ball group. In the exercise center he receives a precise pass from the starting player of the ball group. He then joins the group dribbling. The passer assumes the position at the forward cone.
- Different passing techniques
- Differently from the animation, the forward cone is staggered to the left from the rear cone.
- Position two players at the forward cone; this speeds up the action.
- Always train using both legs!
Category: Advanced training, children's training, youth training, seniors
Minimum group size: 3
Maximum group size:6
Materials required: Enough balls, 2 cones
Field size: Distance of the cones from one another 4 - 7 meters
Information: There are already more than 1,000 animations online at www.soccerdrills.de, as well as plenty of interesting articles by very well-known soccer experts.
If you don't want to wait for the translations, you can take a look at Soccerdrills.de. The animations often speak for themselves.

Our Easter Craft Night was cracking!
So many newbies came along including these two lovely local ladies who read about us in the local paper. They had NEVER knitted before but both took home finished egg cosies.
This pair had never knitted either.
Here they are in the early stages...
Here they are in the early stages...
Check out what they had turned into by the end of the night:They made the hair pieces too, but more on that later!
Our resident Knitting Guru Madelaine was the woman on hand who showed them and others how to turn a ball of yellow yarn into something cute! She's here every month with her team so fear not if you missed out, she's always happy to show you how to get your knit on.
Crochet queen (in fact all round textile super woman) Catherine Hirst led a special session on crochet.
She brought along some patterns from her books including pretty Spring flowers.
A proud new crocheter with her first ever chain.
Our Becky attempting her own crochet fleurs.
In the Maker's Market we were joined by Larissa who runs the Etsy London Meet-Up Group.She dyes and makes her own yarns in gorgeous colours.
You can't celebrate Easter without a bonnet so we asked our favourite Milliner Katty Janneh to run an Easter accessories workshop.
Chick fascinators were the order of the evening....
You can see Sheree's creations properly here. Cheep cheep!
Nasreen also had a good hair day, She left with these beauties:
More amazing makes alert alert! These girls made Faberge Eggs & fascinators?
Did we just say Faberge Eggs? Oh yes!
Rich people eat your heart out, we made ours from polysterene eggs, PVA glue, toothpicks, glitter, sequins and gemstones.
In Collage Corner you could even make a basket to take your eggs home in.
Or make Easter Cards.
And no....boys were not forgotten! There's always something the lads will love at our Craft Night. As well as showing the girls how to make Easter Fascinators, Katty helped the boys make bow-ties.
Between them Aiyaz & Delwar made enough to have a market stall
As ever we also had crafters chilling out & doing their own thing. We totes fell in love with these AMAZING Bat themed gloves by Max.
And good news about our DJs The Spinning Yarns...
They now have their own business cards which incidentally are the coolest cards ever.
There's no excuse not to book them for your next party now they are all official.
Missed our Easter Craft Night?
Don't worry, there's more making & taking next month.
We'll be back at the Hackney Attic on Tuesday April 30th for our Treasure Island Jewellery Making Special.

THE 20th CENTURY WAS A TIME OF RADICAL CHANGE in kitchen design. As Nancy Carlisle and Melinda Nasardinov describe in America's Kitchens, a focus on efficiency in the early part of the century transformed kitchens into compact units, with matching cabinets and built-in appliances topped with spans of countertop. Efficient kitchens were meant to reduce workloads, but their small size and usual location in the back of the house also distanced cooks from their families and guests. The open floor plans of the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s were a reaction against that isolation. As Nasardinov frames it, they "transformed kitchens from service spaces into social spaces" by blurring the boundaries between cooking, eating, and living areas.
Erica Donnis is an independent historian and museum consultant based in Burlington, Vermont. This is the second installment of her week-long look at America's Kitchens — both the book and the national traveling exhibition.
What a sunny, happy little kitchen!
Is that a 'dutch door'? When I ordered a new front door this year, I almost went with a dutch door (they split in half). I live in a very much Dutch community (SW Michigan)–so at least the guy knew what I was talking about.
Maybe 10 years from now, I'll replace it with a dutch door –
I love that color combination. Yellow and bluey-grey, a classic through the decades! I have been trying to find a late 1940's kitchen color combo that I really liked, and I think this is it. Thanks!
Love the window treatments and notice the ball fringe?
I just had to share this… I have original 1950 knotty pine kitchen cabinets/drawers with wrought iron hardware. They were handmade with great skill by members of my family. This past weekend, I asked for advice at the Home Depot kitchen design center about choosing a new laminate countertop color to go with the honey gold wood–and got totally snubbed.
Wow. The designer barely looked up from his desk and said that "most people" paint over the knotty pine. He gave me no suggestions and didn't ask questions to see if I was thinking about renovating. Wow–treated shabbily just for wanting to keep my vintage look. ~:(
I'd love to see your kitchen!

VERDAD - Verification-Driven Asynchronous Design
- Project Dates: From August 2009 to July 2012
- Project Leader: Dr. Victor Khomenko
- Staff: Prof. Maciej Koutny, Prof. Alex Yakovlev, Mr. Andrey Mokhov, Mr. Ivan Poliakov, Mr. Dominic Wist
- Sponsors: EPSRC
- Partners: University of Manchester
This project redefines conventional asynchronous VLSI tool flows, by incorporating verification into the heart of the design process. Assertion-based verification is used to drive the synthesis procedure by analysing the behaviour of circuits to prove properties which may be exploited for optimisation. Using verification as part of the synthesis procedure represents a major paradigm shift from existing approaches where the validity of optimisations is determined statically and verification is performed after synthesis. Combining synthesis and verification will provide practical and theoretical advances in both areas extending beyond the focus of the project domain.

DJI S1000 Premium Heavy Lift Drone
DJI S1000 Premium Heavy Lift Drone
Whether it's Search and Rescue, Tactical Operations or any operating requiring eyes in the sky, the S1000 octocopter from DJI delivers redundancy for added safety, along with an unparalleled array of available payload and configurations. This unmanned aircraft can be custom built to our agency's specific needs with high resolution imagers, FLIR brand thermal imagers and many other sensors.
The "secret sauce" of all modern UAV's is the GPS positing system, which allows the craft to hold a steady position, even in strong winds. When combined with a flight controller such as the A2 or NAZA-MV2, the operator simply tells the drone where to go via the control stick, but the craft has the uncanny ability to stay on point in surprisingly stiff winds. In its full configuration, the the S1000 comes with the great user friendly features of the Phantom the the Inspire drone -- automatic return home, autonomous flight and more. In spire of the larger size, they are actually quite easy to fly because of their extgra stability and the GPS stabilization. The frame and landing gear are made from carbon fiber, for very light weight with high structual strength. The arms fold down in a "flower petal" configuration for easy transport with fast set up and deployment. To fly, simply lift the frame arms, lock them into place with positive locking latches and power up the system. After take off, the landing hear folds up completely out of the way, giving the camera or other sensor an unobstructed 360 degree view.
In addition to the engine-out redundancy of the octocopter design, the S1000 is now available with the option DropSafe ballistic parachute system. This Co2 powered system ensures that in the unlikely event the worst does occur you can still deploy the DropSafe parachute system to minimize potential damage.
Maxsur is a DJI Premier Dealer and Authorized Service Center, so we can not deliver the world's most powerful, capable and cost effective UAV's but support you with full service and training. We can configure your S1000 with multiple camera arrays, sensors, payload, dropping mechanism and more. Stop by our facility anytime for a free demonstration and training session -- you'll be absolutely amazed at the S1000's capabilities and ease of use.

Have you ever heard the expression "it's not about the destination, it's about the journey?"
This quote resonates when I reflect on emotional intelligence because the amazing and mind-expanding thing is that the very act of creating space to explore and consider emotional intelligence in your life and career is practicing emotionally intelligent behaviour!
So no matter where you are at in your own reflections, readings, skill building or skill practice with emotional intelligence, when you approach these ideas with openness and curiosity, you'll often learn something new, or give new language to something you already know.
What matters about exploring emotional intelligence is being intentionally curious. Being open to asking yourself, "how does this feel to me?" or "how does this fit with what I believe or experience?". And whether you sit with these ideas and reflections for 5 minutes or 5 hours or 5 weeks, you're honing your emotional intelligence skills.
With that in mind, I hope you enjoy reading our latest post for AFP on emotional intelligence and self-awareness.
It continues to be a challenge and a pleasure to explore these ideas in collaboration with my friend, mentor and brilliant fundraiser, Beth Ann Locke.
At the end of our piece, we invite your comments and feedback. We really would love to hear from you! You can comment below, or you can reach us here:

Operational Iconicity and Creative Translation
Operational Iconicity and Creative Translation by Joao Queiroz
Institute for American Thought Indiana University School of Liberal Arts IUPUI The Peirce Seminar Series is proud to present: Operational Iconicity and Creative Translation by Joao Queiroz
Institute of Arts and Design, Federal University of Juiz de Fora, Brazil Thursday, 23 February 2012 6 p.m. ES0016
Abstract : The idea of creative translation as a predominantly iconic process has being developed by several authors. Such identification (icon = creative translation) has many consequences. We know, at least since Charles Morris (1971), that the aesthetic sign is predominantly iconic. But the ideas of analogy and similarity, central to this thesis, can be developed in new directions. When an operational criterion is adopted, the icon is defined as anything whose manipulation can reveal more information about your object, and algebra, syntax, graphs, and the formalization of various types should be recognized as icons. This definition is considered a detrivilization of the notion that the icon is fundamentally based on a relation of similarity. Diagrams are icons associated with the discovery of new relations. I would like to do two things here. One is to introduce the idea that creative translation recreates a multi-level system of relations, an operation that can be described as typically diagrammatic; the other is to explore some implications of this idea in the field of Translation Studies, with focus on the phenomena of intersemiotic translations. I hope the general ideas outlined here support an epistemology of translation, with consequences in a research agenda that should be carefully detailed, and exhaustively exemplified.
