Home Editor's Pick Your Guide to Pairing What Matters: Wine & Netflix Binge
Your Guide to Pairing What Matters: Wine & Netflix Binge
Happy #NationalDrinkWineDay (isn't that just a Thursday?)! We have your comprehensive list for pairing what you're drinking with what you're bingeing. You're Welcome.
Sam Ferrante
Wine & Netflix Binge
Light Dry White Wines
Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Albarino
Pair with: Bob's Burgers or Archer
Pair your easy drinking with easy viewing tinted in just a bit of snarky, dry wit. Bob's Burgers and Archer are first and foremost ridiculous animated series, with an underlying sophistication. Also, though palatable, I'd argue that these shows are only suited to adults, much like your grown-up grape juices up there.
Moscato, Riesling, Chenin Blanc
Pair with: Parks and Rec or Gilmore Girls
Between Leslie Knope of Parks and Rec and Lorelai Gilmore of Gilmore Girls, you're bound to be hanging out with some funny, powerful women. And both shows are narrative-oriented enough that they're binge-able, but not so connected that you need to be paying a whole bunch of attention. If you drift in and out to the kitchen to stock up on more of your sweet, sweet, wine, you're not going to be lost when you return.
Rich White Wine
Chardonnay, Oaked Whites,
Pair with: Friends or Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Buttery, oaky wines are for nostalgia. Like Friends and Buffy, your Chardonnay deserves to be savored. For big fans of both the shows and the wine, this is smooth viewing and drinking. You've had it before and you'll watch it again, so savor, mouth the words, and enjoy your visit with your old friends.
Light Red Wine
Pinot Noir, Grenache, Pinotage, Gamay
Pair with: Supernatural or Sense8
Supernatural and Sense8 aren't heady enough to put you back on your tuckus like the bolder reds or a political drama, but they're certainly two shows that you'll want to throw around your palate a bit. Your choice really comes down to time. Do you have a glass or two and a single season of Sense8 to get through? Or do you have a few days, a case of Pinot Noir, and 10 seasons worth of Supernatural to catch up on? Either way, lighter reds are for making fast friends, and these two character-driven sci-fi dramas are ready to cozy up with some wine.
Medium Red Wine
Merlot, Cabernet Franc
Pair with: Merlin or Sherlock
For whatever reason, I've always thought Merlot was a distinctly London-garden sort of affair. The association probably has to do with chilly, drizzling days and cobblestones, but whatever the reason, the BBC's Merlin and Sherlock are really the only way to go for medium-bodied red wines. If you haven't seen these new twists on older tales, give them a chance. Where Sherlock is intense, Merlin is distinctly quirky, but both series are bound to keep you intrigued and giggling simultaneously. Maybe that's the wine.
Bold Red Wine
Cabernet Sauvignon, Aglianico, Shiraz/Syrah
Pair with: Scandal or House of Cards
Olivia Pope of Scandal is known for her red wine and popcorn nights and I wouldn't doubt that Claire Underwood is of the same persuasion. These two heavy political dramas that both take place in D.C. demand your full attention with their fast-pace and political jargon. But chances are high that you'll be so infuriated by the corruption and dizzying back-door dealings of the not-so-alternative universe political worlds that you'll need a glass or seven of a bold red.
Irish or Scotch?
Pair with: Peaky Blinders.
If you're planning to celebrate #NationalDrinkWineDay with whiskey (because, let's be honest, we should celebrate every holiday with whiskey), there's really only one show to watch. Peaky Blinders is a Netflix series that follows a family of gangsters through their gambling ring and other covert affairs in 1800s Birmingham, UK. It's a smart, thrilling, and devious period drama that you're not going to see anywhere else. Tom Hardy, Annabelle Wallace, and Cillian Murphy don't hurt either. The question isn't what to watch, but, in the words of Thomas Shelby, Irish or Scotch?

HMB Lintec marine signed contracts for the supply of pedestal offshore cranes for three substations located in German waters, namely for the wind farms Nordergründe (18 turbines, 111 MW), Merkur (66 turbines, 396 MW) and Hohe See (71 turbines, 497 MW). Substations are an essential component of offshore wind farms and serve an important function: to stabilize and maximize the voltage of power generated offshore, reduce potential electrical losses and transmit electricity to shore.
Today's substations consist of a topside or a deck installed on monopile or jacket structures. Serving as an offshore power-converter station, a substation's platform may be equipped with boat landings, a helicopter deck, accommodations, and act as a logistics' service base during installation and operation of an offshore wind farm. The cranes installed onboard the platforms are particularly important in order to safeguard the logistics of material and persons from sea to platform and vice versa.
The pedestal crane on substation Nordergründe, situated close to the German coast, is capable of lifting material up to 15t at 18m outreach. Merkur´s DolWin3 substation will operate a HMB Lintec marine crane operating loads of 8,5t at 29m outreach. Wind farm Hohe See will be connected to the German high voltage grid via the substation BorWin3. The substation will be equipped with a HMB Lintec marine crane of SWL 17t at 25m outreach. Additionally HMB Lintec marine delivered various smaller cranes for man riding e.g. 2t SWL on 5m and service cranes for servicing the machinery onboard the platform. HMB Lintec marine supplies customized cranes from design to installation and commissioning. In order to ensure further product development and support clients' demands for customized cranes Lintec marine teamed up with crane manufacturer PROTEA in the area of engineering, production, testing and sales. PROTEA maintains a production in the South of Poland employing 120 people at any time.
Together HMB Lintec marine and PROTEA hold extensive expertise and enjoy a vast number of references for the shipbuilding and offshore industry. In the wind energy sector HMB Lintec marine auxiliary cranes can be found on various jack-up and service vessels. Notable references are the jack-up vessels Thor, MPI Enterprise, M/V Torben or Vidar.

NVIDIA Introduces DRIVE AutoPilot, World's First Commercially Available Level 2+ Automated Driving System
GlobeNewswire• January 7, 2019
Continental, ZF Announce L2+ Solutions Based on NVIDIA DRIVE for Production in 2020
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CES -- NVIDIA today announced the world's first commercially available Level 2+ automated driving system, NVIDIA DRIVE™ AutoPilot, which integrates multiple breakthrough AI technologies that will enable supervised self-driving vehicles to go into production by next year.
At CES 2019, leading automotive suppliers Continental and ZF announced Level 2+ self-driving solutions based on NVIDIA DRIVE, with production starting in 2020.
As a Level 2+ self-driving solution, NVIDIA DRIVE AutoPilot uniquely provides both world-class autonomous driving perception and a cockpit rich in AI capabilities. Vehicle manufacturers can use it to bring to market sophisticated automated driving features — as well as intelligent cockpit assistance and visualization capabilities — that far surpass today's ADAS offerings in performance, functionality and road safety.
"A full-featured, Level 2+ system requires significantly more computational horsepower and sophisticated software than what is on the road today," said Rob Csongor, vice president of Autonomous Machines at NVIDIA. "NVIDIA DRIVE AutoPilot provides these, making it possible for carmakers to quickly deploy advanced autonomous solutions by 2020 and to scale this solution to higher levels of autonomy faster."
DRIVE AutoPilot integrates for the first time high-performance NVIDIA Xavier™ system-on-a-chip (SoC) processors and the latest NVIDIA DRIVE Software to process many deep neural networks (DNNs) for perception as well as complete surround camera sensor data from outside the vehicle and inside the cabin. This combination enables full self-driving autopilot capabilities, including highway merge, lane change, lane splits and personal mapping. Inside the cabin, features include driver monitoring, AI copilot capabilities and advanced in-cabin visualization of the vehicle's computer vision system.
DRIVE AutoPilot is part of the open, flexible NVIDIA DRIVE platform, which is being used by hundreds of companies worldwide to build autonomous vehicle solutions that increase road safety while reducing driver fatigue and stress on long drives or in stop-and-go traffic. The new Level 2+ system complements the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Pegasus system that provides Level 5 capabilities for robotaxis.
DRIVE AutoPilot addresses the limitations of existing Level 2 ADAS systems, which a recent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study showed offer inconsistent vehicle detections and poor ability to stay within lanes on curvy or hilly roads, resulting in a high occurrence of system disengagements where the driver abruptly had to take control.(1)
"Lane keeping and adaptive cruise control systems on the market today are simply not living up to the expectations of consumers," said Dominique Bonte, vice president of Automotive Research at ABI Research. "The high-performance AI solutions from NVIDIA will deliver more effective active safety and more reliable automated driving systems in the near future."
Xavier SoC: Processing at 30 Teraops a Second
Central to NVIDIA DRIVE AutoPilot is the Xavier SoC, which delivers 30 trillion operations per second of processing capability. Architected for safety, Xavier has been designed for redundancy and diversity, with six types of processors and 9 billion transistors that enable it to process vast amounts of data in real time.
Xavier is the world's first automotive-grade processor for autonomous driving and is in production today. Global safety experts have assessed its architecture and development process as suitable for building a safe product.
AI Inside and Out
The DRIVE AutoPilot software stack integrates DRIVE AV software for handling challenges outside the vehicle, as well as DRIVE IX software for tasks inside the car.
DRIVE AV uses surround sensors for full, 360-degree perception and features highly accurate localization and path-planning capabilities. These enable supervised self-driving on the highway, from on-ramp to off-ramp. Going beyond basic adaptive cruise control, lane keeping and automatic emergency braking, its surround perception capabilities handle situations where lanes split or merge, and safely perform lane changes.
DRIVE AV also includes a diverse and redundant set of advanced DNN technologies that enable the vehicle to perceive a wide range of objects and driving situations, including DriveNet, SignNet, LaneNet, OpenRoadNet and WaitNet. This sophisticated AI software understands where other vehicles are, reads lane markings, detects pedestrians and cyclists, distinguishes different types of lights and their colors, recognizes traffic signs and understands complex scenes.
In addition to providing precise localization to the world's HD maps for vehicle positioning on the road, DRIVE AutoPilot offers a new personal mapping feature called "My Route," which remembers where you have driven and can create a self-driving route even if no HD map is available.
Within the vehicle, DRIVE IX intelligent experience software enables occupant monitoring to detect distracted or drowsy drivers and provide alerts, or take corrective action if needed. It is also used to create intelligent user experiences, including the new ability for augmented reality. Displaying a visualization of the surrounding environment sensed by the vehicle, as well as planned route, instills trust in the system.
For next-generation user experiences in the vehicle, the AI capabilities of DRIVE IX can also be used to accelerate natural language processing, gaze tracking or gesture recognition.
Adopted by Industry Leaders
Continental is developing a scalable and affordable automated driving architecture that will bridge from Premium Assist to future automated functionalities. It uses Continental's portfolio of radar, lidar, camera and Automated Driving Control Unit technology powered by NVIDIA DRIVE.
"Today's driving experience with advanced driver assistance systems will be brought to the next level, creating a seamless transition from assisted to automated driving and defining a new standard," said Karl Haupt, head of the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems business unit at Continental. "Driving will become an active journey, keeping the driver responsible but reducing the driving task to supervision and relaxation."
ZF ProAI offers a unique modular hardware concept and open software architecture, utilizing NVIDIA DRIVE Xavier processors and DRIVE Software.
"Our aim is to provide the widest possible range of functions in the field of autonomous driving," explained Torsten Gollewski, head of ZF Advanced Engineering and general manager of ZF Zukunft Ventures GmbH. "The ZF ProAI product family offers an open platform for the customized integration of software algorithms – covering conventional functions as well as AI algorithms and software running on NVIDIA DRIVE."
NVIDIA DRIVE AutoPilot will be demonstrated at CES in NVIDIA booth 6306 in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center from Jan. 8-11.

April 26, 2017 by Sheldon 0 comments on "Plastics + Art, an initiative of the Canadian Plastics Industry Association (CPIA)"
Plastics + Art is an initiative of the Canadian Plastics Industry Association (CPIA) to form partnerships between the artist, industry, municipalities and regions for developing "plastic" art projects throughout Canada.
The Plastics + Art "Artist in Residence" program promotes relationships between individual artists and companies where they share knowledge, expertise and resources towards the research and development of a work of art, learning from each other in the process. The artists are given the freedom to design and oversee construction of their creations. The limits of scale and expense are developed by the parties concerned. Projects are linked to communities through public galleries, universities, municipalities and regions acting as facilitators of public art placements. As the third leg of the partnership structure, the facilitating organization integrates particular criteria for project placements according to the individual community. The end result is the creation of public works of art in highly visible locations such as airports, highway interchanges, museums, public buildings and parks, etc.
The unique situation to each Artist in Residence project is to be determined and integrated into each geographical and cultural context. The intention is to create partnerships relevant to the structure of artist and project selection, site selection and support, which generate the highest ideals of excellence against the backdrop of the public and the plastics industry. The community benefits from a distinctive work of art that becomes part of the urban landscape.
"Artist in Residence" projects currently entail the selection of five artists of national significance to work with sponsoring companies to research the creation of large-scale, plastic-based public art works in Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, Montreal and Halifax. Noel Harding, as artist in residence for the Municipality of Metro Toronto, developed "the Elevated Wetlands" in conjunction with CPIA.
Plastics + Art project development will inevitably broaden the ways of looking at new designs, new products and perhaps even stimulate new manufacturing procedures. By looking outside the realm of normal manufacture, the inherent strength and integrity of plastic materials can be delivered with a different kind of artistic beauty. Projects will showcase the unique use of certain plastic materials.
With the support of dedicated and concerned professionals from art, commerce, education and government, the Plastics + Art initiative provides a unique opportunity. Creative projects born from such collaboration will generate diverse benefits for society and for the participants involved.

The vineyard dates back to the Roman era, but only really developed as of the 15th century. During the French Revolution, the name - Saint Peret was prohibited and replaced by ?Peret white wine?. The appellation is traditionally available in white, including a high percentage of sparkling wines. But over the past dozen years, still wine sales have increased, which is of little surprise as the category is well-suited to this terroir.
The vineyard is situated on the Rhone?s right bank within the districts of Saint Peray and Toulaud in the Ardeche administrative area. Its topography is unusual with some of the vines on slopes and others situated in a deep valley. The appellation marks the border between the northern and southern Cotes du Rhone growing region. This warm region benefits from a microclimate that brings freshness, thereby favoring the elaboration of great white wines. Soils made up of a granite base altereted with saprolite.
Saint-Péray Efferves cent Hommage 1829 Saint-Péray dates back to the Roman Empire and was served at the dining room table of the Kings of France.
Local winegrower, Louis-Alexandre Faure, developed a sparkling wine in 1826. As a result, the first cork of sparkling Saint-Péray was popped at the foot of Chateau de Crussol in 1829. During the 19th century, Saint-Péray reached the pinnacle of its popularity. The whole of Europe relished this white wine, most especially its sparkling version, that was served at the banquets of the greatest monarchs, from the Tsars of Russia through to Queen Victoria.

Heath Ledger found dead in Mary-Kate Olsen's Broome Street Flat
At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building, at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said.
The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger's bedroom.
When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger naked and unconscious on a bed, with pills scattered around his body.
They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities.
The police said they did not suspect foul play.
The police said they believed Ms. Olsen, 21, was in California and said it was not clear why Mr. Ledger was in her apartment.
"Did we say it was Mary Kate Olsen's apartment? We meant she also lives in NYC. I mean, he's dead, but she lives in -- um -- oops."

The head of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Britain's top financial regulatory organization, does not believe Bitcoin's outrageous growth can continue much longer. In fact, he thinks a massive bubble burst is on the way for the cryptocurrency.
Andrew Bailey, the head of the FCA, has issued a serious warning to buyers and investors of Bitcoin: you're going to lose your money. He warned that very little is known about how value is assigned to the cryptocurrency, and its volatility indicates that a dramatic price plunge looks to be on the way.
Bitcoin has come under fire from multiple watchdog groups due to loose regulations and the relative anonymity it can be used with. For example, it has found value on the dark web in order to purchase drugs and guns, due to the difficulty in tracing owners.
Loose regulations on Bitcoin are due to the grey area it operates in: although it is billed as a form of currency, it is not supported or backed by any governmental body. In some ways, it is therefore viewed in the financial community as a commodity, similar to aluminum, natural gas, or corn.
Regardless of regulations or how it is classified, many financial experts have warned the same thing: be wary of the bubble. It is too volatile right now to trust that its value will continue to increase, especially at its recent levels.

The World Archery Rankings is a ranking system developed by the World Archery Federation for international competitive archery. It is calculated using a points system and published following major World Archery tournaments.

The ranking system was first developed in 2001, and calculation method updated in 2010. At present, rankings are maintained for:
 Recurve archery: Men's Individual, Women's Individual, Men's Team, Women's Team, Mixed Team
 Compound archery: Men's Individual, Women's Individual, Men's Team, Women's Team, Mixed Team
 Para-archery: Recurve Men W2, Recurve Men Standing, Compound Men W1, Compound Men Open, Recurve Women W2, Recurve Women Standing, Compound Women Open, Visually Impaired Open
 Nations: National rankings based on all disciplines

From 2006, rankings were calculated for Field Archery, but since 2012 are no longer maintained.

Calculation

Each archer or team earns a ranking score for each competition. The ranking scores are calculated through a combination of the ranking factor of the tournament ("Ranking Factor") and points based on the competitor's final position in the competition ("Ranking Score"). The archer's four highest ranking scores are then combined to form their total score ("Added Ranking Score"), which forms the basis of the ranking list.

Ranking factor
Only results achieved at official ranking events can count towards the overall rankings. These events include the major World Archery Federation tournaments (Olympics, World Archery Championships, World Cup), and other international, regional and national events that have applied and been approved for ranking status.

The tournament ranking factor is calculated on the basis of three sub-factors, Quality, Quantity and Period, which are multiplied together to produce the overall tournament factor. The factor can vary between disciplines at the same event (e.g., the recurve and compound disciplines at the World Championships may have different ranking factors).

For instance, the ranking factor of a tournament for individuals with 60 archers, of whom 10 are in the top 50, that took place 18 months ago, would be:
2.5 ("Quality": 9–12 top 50 archers) ×
0.9 ("Quantity": 33–64 archers) ×
0.5 ("Period": other tournament 12–24 months ago) =
1.125

Quality
The Quality sub-factor takes into account the level of competition at the tournament. A score is assigned based on the prestige of the event, for the major World Archery Federation tournaments, and the number of top archers or teams at other competitions (defined as individuals ranked in the top 50 or teams ranked in the top 16). The quality factor points are assigned as follows:

Individual

Team

Quantity
The Quantity sub-factor assigns a score based on the number of archers competing as follows:

Individual

Team

Period
The Period sub-factor is dependent on when the competition took place, allowing the ranking factor to emphasise the most recent tournaments as follows:

Ranking Points are awarded based on the team or competitor's final position at the competition. This is then multiplied by the Ranking Factor to produce the overall Ranking Score for that team or competitor at that tournament. For instance, an archer who finished 4th in the competition used in the example above would receive the following Ranking Score:

1.125 ("Ranking Factor") x

12 ("Ranking Points": 4th place) =

13.5

A team or competitor's best four Ranking Scores are then combined to produce the Added Ranking Score, which forms the basis of the  rankings list. No more than two Ranking Scores whose period factor is lower than 1 may be used to calculate the Added Ranking Score.

Ranking Points are awarded as follows:

Individual

Current Rankings
o: Current Olympic champion (Compound discipline and mixed team events are not competed at the Olympics)
wc: Current World champion
cup: Current World Cup Stage winner (Team events, apart from mixed team, are not competed at the World Cup final)

Jake worked out a great deal for us all of the way around!! Interest rate, payment and the vehicle I wanted even though I was told elsewhere I couldn't get it for what I wanted to pay. I would definitely recommend Jake and World Hyundai.

Note: Going through my records, I noticed a glaring omission from my event reviews, and have decided to correct it, and remind people of what they can look forward to in 2018.
The first edition of the Christmas Craft Beer Show was an excellent first attempt, but as I've stated, there was room to grow. Certain things could be improved, certain tweaks could be put in place, and this was a common theme across much of the press and discussion for the event.
Well, after attending the 2nd Annual event, it's clear that they listened to those criticisms and it made for an event that was significantly improved over the 1st year. With that being said, what did the event look like, and why was it so much better?
This might have been the biggest improvement. By moving the stage to just off-center in the middle of the floor, and providing seating directly in front of it, there was much better flow to the space. It allowed enough room for dancing, created more space to relax that wasn't forced out onto the concourse, and spread the beer lines out over the entire floor. The corners can still get a little tight, but there was plenty of elbow room compared to Year 1.
The beer list was definitely a better mix of approachable core beers as well as big limited release options and one-off options. Compared to 2016, this was nice in allowing people to not get over-indulgent in their beer choices, but still enticed many of the beer geeks with some of the more sought-after beers.
The list could have been made publicly available a little earlier, an issue which was still not addressed from the first year, although they were much more open with media regarding the list, allowing some awareness of what to expect. It's always going to be a balance of creating mystique and trying to draw in guests with the beer list.
Some of the real standouts were relatively unknown breweries to Island guests, such as Britannia Brewing, Faculty Brewing, and Smuggler's Trail Caskworks. Then there were the usual greats, like Driftwood Brewing bringing their Singularity and Old Cellar Dweller, and newcomers like Sooke Brewing, who had only just opened a little over a month before the event, yet poured a delightful IPA.
This year, even more so than last, there were plenty of festive sweaters, scarves, hats and more. This just makes it so much more fun, as it just adds to the character of the festival. Between that and the amazing musical vibes from SuperSauce, it really makes it for what has become one of my favourite events of the year, and based on the smiles on people's faces throughout the event, I'm not alone in that sentiment.
With the stress of the holiday season bearing down on us, the timing is right, the mood is great, and it's a nice little distraction to be able to spend an afternoon or evening with friends enjoying great beer and cider. Compared to 2016, 2017 was out of the park, and while there's always going to be a little room for improvement, it's definitely trending upwards, so I can only look forward to 2018.


Beer Dinner at the Oakmont National Pub in Havertown, Penn.
On June 28, another great matching of beers and food Oakmont National Pub Beer Event posterwas held at the Oakmont National Pub in Havertown. Chef Lou did an outstanding job of creating special dishes with beer infused sauces and garnish that matched the beer parings with each course. (The savory filet with La Chouffe reduction was awesome.) Beers included Hoegaarden and Paulaner Hefe Weiss, Left Hand Brewing's ESB and La Chouffe Belgian Ale. Manager Brendan Goggin reached out to Shangy's Beer Distribution for Chapeau Framboise Lambic and the venerable Young's Double Chocolate Stout to go with the luscious chocolate dessert.
All had a great time as I gave away t-shirts and other beer paraphernalia to those who answered the beer trivia questions. The grand prize winner walked away with a wall-sized Young's bar mirror. Brendan suggested that we may do another special beer dinner this fall. I will keep you updated.


April | 2008 | Suzi's Knits: Footfalls & furballs!
I've been in a non blogging mood all week – I have lot going on career wise – was sending out resumes and cover letters, and just not feelign chatty. The *GOOD* news on that front is the work has paid off and I have an interview for an adjunct teaching slot in psych testing next week! At a local psych grad school (Institute of Transpersonal Psychology) no less! I am very excited and hope all goes well. keep me in your thoughts Wed 3 PM pacific!
The week finished of course after the 14 mile run. Did I mention I ran a half marathon last week and enjoyed it? It was very odd, passing landmarks running that I'd normally only drive between. I was also grateful for unseasonably cold weather that morning. I ended up feelign *SO* good that I let myself forget that I ran 14 miles… 😛 and my legs weren't so sure THEY felt as good as *I* did. The next day I DDR'ed for 2 hours with a friend and of course that meant trying to show off. My legs eventually sent up warning signal flares and I made myself stop. But the next day I was in this "I miss Peter I have no brain" mode, and instead of taking Monday off in place of Sunday, I managed to convince myself Sunday didn't count since we took so many breaks, and did another half hour of DDR. I simply couldn't help it, Erika made me put in one of the older games and I found so many songs I hadn't done in forever….. The Tuesday happened and boy my legs were trying to communicate but I was thinking it would be really BAD to skip a run day… and then somehow out on the road I managed to convince myself it would be really BAD to run shorter, or even take the less hilly route… And then when my legs were REALLY killing me I decided it would be a PAIN to have to walk home… 😛 Yeah. Smart me. A few hours alter I had sharp pains in my good right knee that wouldn't go away stretching and walking…. uh oh. They eased off but didn't go away the next day and i finally got it. Took the next 3 days off.
Half and more – 14 miles rocked!
I'm recently back from my 14 mile team run. As you may recall from 2 weeks ago, I faced it with some small trepidation, having met the Jello Wall somewhere around mile 9 of 12. Today I set out for the site (late again for pace leader meeting, did I mention that 8 AM is early?) positively loaded down with enough gels and cubes and stuff for a whole marathon in homes of defeating that wall. I arrived and much to my sadness, my usual pace group was not there, but Ekta and the 12:30 group were, so I set off with them. We took the first half nice and easy – closer to 13 mins per mile, and I hit the halfway point feeling good. Ekta and I started taking the lead – we're the types that are a bit slow to warm up but once ya get going, barring physical barriers, we KEEP going. I almost forgot to feed myself the second gel at 8 miles… (MMMMMMMMMMM, chocolate mint is the BOMB) and WHEW, they put caffeine in those things! its a very good idea let me tell you. Made me all cheerful, helped the endorphins stick around. By mile 11 or so I hit a major second wind, and started runnign just a little ahead of everyone. By the middle of mile 12 I was the cheerleader saying "No, we finish together; if you need to walk I so will not mind." Being a bit more hard-core than my usual group, they chose running and I gave occasional pep comments throughout. I was VERY excited to pass 13 miles and frankly, nothing was getting me down at that point. I finished all 14 miles on pace (3:06 but there was a long walk before the 14 in that time too), and frankly feeling a hell of a lot better than I have since, oh, the 5 mile run I think.
Now, if only my legs agreed that I feel better… help, my house has stairs and I'm stuck UP them… 🙂 And there is a spinach omelet somewhere out there in this world with my name on it and I must go hunt it down and devour it!
Not just under 10, but WELL below 9 mins per mile. And more than a minute faster than I've ever run it. 😛 So to celebrate I ran another 3 miles at normal speed. I swear they made those hills steeper while I wasn't looking… 😛 Someone needs to quit teraforming my neighborhood while I run it! Anyhow, I'm darned proud of that mile time so I need to brag and be complimented!
To top it all off… I ordered the yarn on 4/13… and it arrived by today! Impressively fast! Thanks so much Crazy Monkey Creations!


Fan-filmed video footage of LINKIN PARK singer Mike Shinoda's entire September 1 performance at Adrenaline Stadium in Moscow, Russia can be seen below.
In June, Shinoda released his raw and inspiring solo album, "Post Traumatic", via Warner Bros. Records. These are the first recordings by a LINKIN PARK member since singer Chester Bennington's death, and it's also the first time Shinoda — who formed the side project FORT MINOR back in 2004 and has produced a variety of other artists — has released an album under his own name.
Shinoda will headline the latest installment of the "Monster Energy Outbreak Tour". The trek marks the first time Shinoda steps out on a full-scale North American solo tour. The highly anticipated five-week run kicks off on October 10 at MTELUS in Montreal and wraps on November 17 at the Fillmore in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Regarding his decision to release "Post Traumatic" as Mike Shinoda rather than as FORT MINOR or under some other name, he told Billboard: "I just wanted to signal to people that it was a different sound and a different approach. I always wanted to signal that it was personal. Grief is a personal thing, a personal experience. I also had a moment six months ago, maybe even closer to nine [months], where I realized that if I was speaking to somebody, if somebody asked me, 'How are things going with the group?' or with my music and career and I started to answer that, my answer could be taken as an answer on behalf of everybody, and I didn't like that idea. We were all in different places from not only day to day but hour by hour — that's one of the things about grief and dealing with difficult things, the steps, the phases of it. If I felt good one day and somebody says 'How are you doing?' and I say 'Pretty good' and everybody else feels terrible, then I'm not accurately reflecting how things are going with everyone, and vice versa. So to do this on my own just felt like the more responsible thing to do, and a way the healthier thing to do."

Studiò medicina nella città natale sotto gli insegnamenti dell'internista Léon Bouveret (1850-1929). Più tardi lavorò presso l'Hôpital de la Croix-Rousse e l'Hôtel-Dieu de Lyon.

Devic svolse attività di ricerca su numerosi disturbi neurologici, tra cui la corea infantile, i gliomi cerebrali e sui tumori del corpo calloso. È stato inoltre coinvolto negli studi sulla febbre tifoide e negli aspetti neurologici connessi con la malattia.

Nel 1894 Devic e il suo allievo Fernand Gault descrissero una rara condizione nervosa che colpiva il midollo spinale e i nervi ottici e che assomigliava alla sclerosi multipla. Oggi questo disturbo viene definito come malattia di Devic o neuromielite ottica (NMO).

Dietrich Thurau (Frankfurt del Main, 9 de novembre de 1954) va ser un ciclista alemany, que fou professional entre 1975 i 1989, durant els quals aconseguí 82 victòries.

Abans de passar al professionalisme va destacar en categoria júnior i amateur en proves de ciclisme en pista. El 1971 i 1974 es proclamà campió d'Alemanya de persecució i el 1973 i 1974 en americana. També guanyà el campionat de ciclisme en rutade 1972 i el campionat del món de persecució de 1974.

En passar al camp professional, el 1975, Thurau continuà participant en proves de ciclisme en pista, sobretot durant els mesos d'hivern, coincidint amb la finalització de la temporada de ciclisme en ruta. El 1975 i 1976 es tornà a proclamar campió d'Alemanya en persecució, i el 1982 en americana.

En les proves en ruta aconseguí victòries d'etapa a les tres grans voltes: sis etapes al Tour de França, cinc d'elles en l'edició de 1977, cinc a la Volta a Espanya, totes el 1976, i dues al Giro d'Itàlia. El 1975 i 1976 es proclamà campió nacional en ruta.

Boeing's Starliner Test Flight Delayed by Three Months, Sources Say
By Korey HaynesMar 21, 2019 4:21 PM
Boeing's Starliner crew capsule is delayed from test flights in April and August to August and November. (Credit: Boeing)
The schedule for Boeing's Starliner spacecraft has slipped again, and the company will no longer launch an uncrewed test flight to the International Space Station in April, Reuters has reported. The flight is being pushed back to August. Starliner is Boeing's entry for NASA's Commercial Crew Program to ferry both cargo and people to the ISS and back. The company's spaceship is a competitor with SpaceX's Crew Dragon, which successfully docked with the ISS earlier this month – albeit without crew. SpaceX is aiming to launch astronauts this summer.
This Starliner schedule slip will also delay Boeing's first crewed test flight, according to the same reporting, from August to November. That could mean SpaceX puts humans in space before Boeing even gets to fly its uncrewed test.
Margin of Error is Shrinking
This is a blow not only to Boeing, but also to NASA as well. The space agency has been purchasing seats on Russian Soyuz rockets since the end of the space shuttle era in 2011. NASA currently has no crew capabilities of its own to carry humans into space. While SpaceX is on target to gain full accreditation this year, Boeing's delay leaves NASA in a precarious position. If SpaceX slips in their scheduling, NASA will be left without a domestic partner at the end of 2019.
This timing pressure is exactly what the NASA safety report highlighted as a concern. Experts warned that they did not want to see NASA or its commercial partners rushing any safety tests in order to meet deadlines. Whether it was safety or production problems that caused the most recent schedule slippage is unclear at this time.
In July 2018, Boeing discovered a propellant leak after test firing their engines. SpaceX has also had problems with fuel leakages, but since discovering the problem in 2016, the company has been working to correct it. Both SpaceX and Boeing still have work to do finalizing their parachute systems for landing.
They each need the next tests to go well in order to earn NASA's permission to fly full missions to the ISS.

Eleventh ecclesiastical and fifth civil month of the Jewish year (Zech. i. 7); I Macc. xvi.), corresponding to January-February, and always consisting of thirty days. The 1st of Shebaṭ, according to the school of Shammai, or the 15th, according to the school of Hillel, is the New-Year for Trees with respect to the tithe (R. H. i. 1). This month was chosen because most of the annual rains occur before Shebaṭ; so that the trees which blossom afterward are considered as belonging to another year (ib. 14a). As the school of Hillel is the standard authority, the 15th of Shebaṭ has continued to be observed as a semiholy day. When a community institutes a fast for Mondays and Thursdays, it must not be observed if one of those days falls on the 15th of Shebaṭ ("Mordekai" on R. H., beginning).
There is a tradition that when a goose is killed in Shebaṭ the shoḥeṭ must eat its heart; otherwise he will die. According to another tradition, a goose should not be eaten on the 8th of Shebaṭ (Isserles in Shulḥan 'Aruk, Yoreh De'ah, 11, 4; Simeon Duran, "Tashbeẓ," No. 101). The reason given in the "Sefer ha-Ḳanah" is that in Shebaṭ the demons prevail; so that he who slaughters a goose in that month is likely to die himself ("Be'er Heṭeb" on Shulḥan 'Aruk, l.c.).
Schürer, Gesch. 3d ed., i. 745.

Drat this vacation. The maniacal rush to get things done before taking a break is screwing up my garden.
Am already regretting not deadheading the columbines (Aquilegia), which are now a couple of blooms amongst about a billion seed pods. Perhaps that will be good in the long run. More seeds means more columbines. Eventually.
Most of all, I've been storing up things to blog about, with no time for blogging.
One of my clever headlines was going to be: Bad sports, and other casualties. The post was going to be about what happens when special plants – such as my corkscrew hazel (Corylus avellana) – sport or revert back to the original form. Instead of curly twigs, it sometimes sends out straight ones.
You have to watch out for these, as they're more vigorous than the curlicues, and soon your corkscrew hazel is a no-screw hazel, with apologies to the filthy minded.
This happens with variegated plants, too. I've passed a number of 'Harlequin' maples around the city – the Norway maple (Acer platanoides) with leaves edged in white – that are being overwhelmed by green branches. Ideally, you should cut out the sport as soon as you see it. Removing a sported branch that's become really big will leave a huge, unattractive gap in the tree, from which it might never recover.
A sport you really have to watch out for is when goutweed (Aegopodium podagraria) goes bad. The variegated goutweed (A. 'Variegatum') is invasive enough – though useful as a groundcover for a tough spot and pretty if kept to a restricted space. However, I've seen variegated goutweed turn green, often when the site is shaded, then ramp through a woodland, elbowing out everything in its path. Especially the more polite native plants. Once there, it's almost impossible to eradicate. Don't let this happen to a ravine near you!
Anyway, that's what I was going to write about, if I'd had time.
I've got a massive swath of goutweed – yes, in the shade, under a huge Manitoba maple – which after being variegated for 18 years decided to go green…with envy? of its sunnier located cousins?? But I thought they liked the shade!!!!
Now my swath has almost completely lost its original white markings.
However, every cloud has a silver lining, and in this case, once the leaves turn green, the flowers, which resemble queen anne's lace, stand out quite beautifully against the dark green of the leaves, illuminating the shade under the tree quite nicely. In its normal variegated state, the flowers aren't really visible. So…mustn't grumble.
The corkscrew hazel on the other hand, is a different story.
Vermiculture: or, we love worms!
White spots on your pine needles? Uh oh.


I LOVE the post office. It's the first place I go when i move somewhere. I try to know the worker's names and then whenever I'm in there they are super nice to me.
And that's exactly the difference between why I have 1 comment on my blog, and you have 23.
I hate it too. We are dealing with doo doo from them right now. More later. Gotta go to surgery.


Clients want good press — but they want it to be effortless and they'd like it to be free. Enter the PR professional, who has to manage those often unrealistic expectations. In the latest installment of our anonymous Confessions, an agency PR pro vents about how clients don't understand the work that goes into getting that press, and why media companies are the worst at being the subject of news coverage.
What's hardest about being at an outside agency?
Knowing how much to update clients without being defensive. Your clients don't know what you're doing all day. There's an inherent skepticism about any service provider. You only know the results; you don't know the work that goes into it. Clients typically don't understand that except in a rare moment of huge news, generating a successful story is more than just calling up a reporter and saying, 'I got this huge story.' It can seem like the successful effort took no time.
Is there a particular challenge to working with startups?
Startups tend to feel they need press to attract talent, investors, customers. But when you get a client that's been around a decade but acts like everything it's doing is so interesting because it has a desire for attention, that doesn't work. It's unnecessary expectations.
Where do social influencers fit in their plan?
Do clients still want to be in print?
Sure, because it feels like a bigger deal. It's scarcity. If feels like you weren't taken seriously if it wasn't in print. But the client is less likely to look at the print unless you tell them.
What do you wish reporters understood that they don't?
That saying yes is actually in their interest. Writing that story will give them unduplicated, interesting content while building up their relationship with the company that could pay dividends down the road. Reporters are so interested in competing against each other and they say 'no' to something that might be outside the box.
Do reporters still care about getting scoops when the news is 24/7?
It'd be wonderful if reporters didn't care about scoops anymore because the [client] could get more bites of the apple. If you're Facebook, you can do a blog post and the whole ecosystem will cover you. If you're a wannabe Facebook and you have a new product, the only way you're going to get coverage is by giving exclusives.
Why are media companies so bad about being the subject of news coverage?
It's very hard to be the victim when you're used to being the afflicter. Isn't Bloomberg famous for having the largest newsroom and hating journalists? And Rupert Murdoch owns a media company and doesn't hold press conferences. [Time Warner CEO Jeff] Bewkes subjects himself to tough questions. He understands transparency is essential to getting the deal done. News people can least tolerate the news coverage of themselves. What I tell them is, at the very least, if you participate, some of the space has to be used up with their side of story. They generally can't handle it.
How do you deal with digital measurement issues?
It's one of the big challenges. That's why measuring the work effort is so important. You can measure your success in interest among reporters. Clients understand that getting a hit in a publication does not mean any fraction of that audience read the article. We still don't have a metric to say, this is how many people saw a story. But when a publisher puts out the actual number of readers per story, that will be a very disappointing day for clients.

In his own words: Alex Edelman on winning Best Newcomer at Edinburgh Fringe 2014, and advice for his fellow American comedians
by Sean L. McCarthy August 29, 2014
Alex Edelman began immersing himself in the Boston comedy scene while still in high school. Edelman matriculated to New York University and graduated to the ever-present omnipotent New York City comedy community. But it wasn't until he went overseas that he began to find success. First in Israel. And now this summer, most spectacularly, in Edinburgh, where Edelman won the Best Newcomer prize in the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Awards for his first Edinburgh Fringe show, "Millennial." (John Kearns won Best Comedy Show for "Shtick" while "Funz and Gamz" won the Fringe's Panel Prize). Here, in his own words, Edelman offers his advice and perspective on making the grade in Edinburgh.
New York comedians always talk about stage time. How you need stage time to get better. How important stage time is to getting you "seen." And I'd been playing wonderful clubs in New York like StandUpNY and Eastville Comedy Club and the Comic Strip, but the reason I decided to do the Edinburgh Festival was for the stage time. Over the course of the past month, I'd say I've accumulated more than 70 hours of stage time.
Here's the thing about Edinburgh: it doesn't matter where you come from, really.
It doesn't matter if you've performed in the cool rooms, or what UK or US circuit comedy clubs you play. It doesn't matter if you have the TV-ready five minutes packaged to go. It only matters if you can do an hour of sharp and resonant material, if you're a funny comic, if you're an original voice. To the panel of judges, and the reviewers watching you, you're encountered very much the same as the audience that comes to see you, and that's as someone stood in front of them for an hour. And for those audience members and award recognition and industry attention, you compete against thousands of other shows, many of which have good comedians doing great work. Pre-Edinburgh credits – especially in the States – hardly matter, once you're there.
Besides me, the US was well represented in comedians like Eddie Pepitone, Tom Rhodes, Al Lubel, Will Franken, and other 'first-Edinburgh' newcomers Julian McCullough and Brent Weinbach. I got to see them and perform with them over the course of the month and they all did great.
The big secret of Edinburgh is that it takes a ton of work. You have to get a fresh and cohesive and hour together, and I knew that if I wanted to bring a show, then it'd be important to make sure I had one. The problem, which is that we don't have a preview system – a series of pre-Edinburgh gigs where comedians do hours to get their show ready – in New York, meant that I took nearly three months to move to the UK to get the show ready. My family, the other comics that I work with, and my US and UK management understood that and supported the move. By the time I did my first show in Edinburgh, I had done my hour about 30 times.
The other thing about doing well in previews is that it built good buzz. Even though credits don't matter in Edinburgh, word-of-mouth is crucial, so other comedians and press saw that I was getting a strong show ready and when I got into Edinburgh, the show kind of had a reputation.
There are some meetings to take here and some live work performing and hopefully opening for some bigger comics. There are a few more festivals. The show will make a transfer to a nice theatre in London for a bit. But already, the US industry attention — there's a TON of it if you're ready and doing a good job, and even before the nomination and the win, a lot of great people had seen me — has lead to some cool stuff back home, I think.

A rendering of The Mission Ballroom at RiNo's new North Wynkoop development.
Mission Ballroom, the city's first built-from-the-ground-up music club to open in more than a decade, is celebrating its arrival with a trio of concerts from Denver act The Lumineers, Phish leader Trey Anastasio's band, and Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals with Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, promoter AEG Presents Rocky Mountain said today.
AEG Presents, which announced the 60,000-square-foot Mission Ballroom less than a year ago, said the Mission will officially open on Aug. 7 with The Lumineers, followed by Anastasio (Aug. 9-10) and Harper and Trombone Shorty (Aug. 12).
Located at 4242 Wynkoop St. in Denver's hip, fast-developing River North Arts District, the Mission promises state-of-the-art concerts and events to anchor Westfield's North Wynkoop development, which is expected to span 14 acres and three blocks on Brighton Boulevard.
Mission Ballroom will be an adaptable space capable of accommodating anywhere from 2,200 to 3,950 guests. Executives spent more than a decade seeking the perfect spot to build "one of the finest venues this town has ever seen" before honing in on the northern reaches of RiNo. The Mission will give AEG a venue comparable in size to East Colfax Avenue's 3,700-capacity Fillmore Auditorium, owned by competitor Live Nation, The Denver Post reported last year.
The complex is also close to the busy Interstate 70 and Interstate 25 interchange, providing vehicle access that AEG was seeking when picking a spot for its next major venue. It will be served by multi-modal transit, located near the 38th and Blake street RTD rail station on the University of Colorado A Line.
Like the Fillmore, the Mission will feature wrap-around balconies and general-admission standing room, as well as riser seating across the back and upper levels of the venue, inspired by Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Its most notable innovation, The Post reported last year, is a stage mounted on trolleys. It is capable of being moved around based on the size of the crowd, a feature meant to make smaller shows feel appropriately intimate.
AEG is encouraging people going to the Mission to register for its Mission Fair Ticketing system, which is essentially a ticket lottery and will be available only for certain shows.
To ensure its validity, the purchaser's credit card will be charged $1, AEG said. However, not all events at Mission Ballroom will use the Mission Fair Ticketing system, and shows using it will be clearly noted.
Mission Fair Ticketing began this morning for the opening weekend and certain shows. Fans have until noon on Sunday, March 24, to request tickets.
So how does it work? AEG said ticket requests are processed in random order, which means that if a purchaser's request is selected, the credit card is automatically charged for the ticket. Guests can request up to four tickets per show, and buyers will be notified by Thursday, March 28, if their orders can be processed.
Any unsold tickets will be put on AEG's AXS ticketing page at 10 a.m. on Friday, March 29.
