One of the first tools that we put together at WASH for All is called OpenSourceWater. It lets water treatment plant operators send plant performance data to the web using SMS. It's not fancy like Water For People's FLOW, and that's on purpose — being simple means it works, with no hiccups, with virtually any cell phone and any service plan, and takes just minutes to learn.
We've just put together an overview map that lets you see all the most recent data that water technicians are sending to us via OpenSourceWater. You can also click the plant icons on the map to get more info about any plant. Currently six water treatment plants in Honduras, serving over 30,000 customers, are using our system, and we have plans to expand several-fold in the next six months. Check out the map and let us know what you think!
UPDATE (10/18/12): The overview map now supports mobile devices, and displays over 50 water treatment plants in Honduras for which we don't yet have monitoring info. We'll see what we can do in the next few months to encourage these systems to publish their treatment data on the web.

Were it not for the sort of SSE section of the puzzle, this would have whipped by for a Wednesday. But I was stuck because I had entered COSin for COSEC (it's been an awful long time since trigonometry), and had EPic for EPOS. Then when I looked at 70A: Beat people? I had n__c. I thought about "narc" - see? I didn't miss the joke, but then who is this Frida KAHLa?
When in doubt, take it out. Then STOMP went in, and the rest was history. Not helped by the "huh?" clue at 67A: Dagwood's bratty neighbor (ELMO). I suppose I should be grateful it wasn't clued with Sesame Street. In fact, a brief Google search of famous people named Elmo turns up hardly anybody I've heard of. How about Elmo Shropshire, who sang "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer"?
Anyway, I've been known to take some BRITISHISMS in my time. My daughters accuse me of being a wannabe Brit. It's a cute theme, with phrases that have words that mean something different across the pond, then clued that way. My favorite is probably 40A: *Catalog from a London raincoat designer? (MACBOOK). But really, mostly my reactions were polite smiles.
Still, I enjoyed the puzzle. It contains not only ANNIE Lennox but also DEBORAH (better known as Debbie) Harry, for a double dose of New Wave goodness. Add in George WENDT and there was a strong 1980s feel.
Strange that KAN appears for the second day in a row, this time not highlighting Manhattan but Dwight D. Eisenhower. Also, I prefer "tempi" to TEMPOS, but that's just me.
Ooh. I just noticed that ISM appears in the grid separately from BRITISHISMS. That's actually a major problem, really. Does it invalidate the puzzle? Weird that they let that go.
1A: Man's name that means "king" (ROY) - C+. The streak of "meh" 1A answers continues.
I had the same two missteps as you did, with COSin and EPic, and I also entered Rex right off the bat at 1A. Hah!
I smiled too, and overall (the ISMs notwithstanding) I enjoyed it.
Of course, COSEC went right in for old Huygens here; trig is never far from my thoughts. I, too, politely smiled at the theme answers, and I also agree with Colum on TEMPOS, and the blah-ness of the 1A answers of late. I never heard of this Frida KAHLO person, but Dagwood's neighbor ELMO is very well known to this daily reader of the comics. SCAMP is nice, but I wish STRIP were clued a bit more blue; that would have been more FUN.
Wow look at the proximity of those times.
Despite being a math major, it has been too long and I did not get COSEC straight away. And EPOS is plain ridiculous. But I managed to work through that section with reasonable celerity anyhow, since I was sure about KAHLO and that led to COPS and so on.
Like Horace, I also had REX for 1A for a while.
Finally, although I've seen ENOKI now about a dozen times in these puzzles, I still usually end up writing in something like ATOKI for ETAKI no good reason. I need to either commit that to memory or just fill in the KI next time.
I'm also a math major. It's always nice to know of others.

Кременчу́к — позакласна сортувальна залізнична станція Південної залізниці на електрифікованій лінії Харків — Полтава — Знам'янка — Миколаїв. Розташована у місті Кременчук Полтавської області.

Історія
Залізнична історія Кременчука починається з 1860 року, коли було прийнято рішення про будівництво залізниці, яка мала на меті сполучити Харків з портами на Чорному морі. Через Кременчук проходили купці, що торгували турецькими товарами. У 1754 році в місті заснували митницю.

Будівництво Харківсько-Миколаївської залізниці велося з 1869 по 1873 роки. Рух поїздів лінією Полтава — Кременчук розпочався у 1870 році. Ярмаркова площа продовжується до лінії залізниці, де будується лицьовим фасадом до площі будівля пасажирського вокзалу 1-го класу. «Світла, охайна, досить простора будівля вокзалу справляє гарне враження, особливо після казармоподібного Київського вокзалу», — помічали у путівнику Дніпром на початку XX століття. Безпосередньо перед вокзалом розбивається невеликий сквер, навколо якого розташувалися готелі, трактири, крамниці, лавочки. На Привокзальній площі закінчувалася Олександрівська вулиця (нині — вулиця Першотравнева). У зв'язку з тим, що на Олександрівській вулиці знаходився вокзал, пароплавні пристані, базар, і, отже завжди було багато приїжджого народу. На вулиці активно споруджуються готелі та гостьові двори: «Бель-Вю», «Варшава», «Ромни», «Швейцарія», «Оріон», «Купецькі» і «Гомелевскіе» номери, трактири.

Через два роки було побудовано Крюківський міст через Дніпро та залізничні шляхи потягнулися далі на південь. У 1888 році Кременчук сполучає з балтійським портом Либава (нині — Лієпая). Два залізничні вокзали — Кременчук-Пасажирський та Крюків, велика пристань — своєрідні ворота міста прийняли новий потік купців і підприємців, йшло збільшення міського бюджету. У 1874 році відкриті вагоноремонтні майстерні Харківсько-Миколаївської залізниці, на базі яких надалі утворений Крюківський вагонобудівний завод. У 1881 році відбувся перший страйк робітників залізничних майстерень. 18 травня 1885 року розпорядженням Комітету міністрів і скарбниці було розпочато будівництво ділянки Кременчук — Ромни (завдовжки 200 верст).

У 1901—1904 роках в Крюківських майстернях пройшли нові страйки. 10 жовтня 1905 року робітники майстерень та залізничники кременчуцького вузла, проявляючи солідарність із залізничниками Москви, почали страйк. 12 грудня 1905 року в ході загального страйку робітники захопили станцію, депо, відбулися страйки у вагонних майстернях. Керували революційним рухом робітники майстерень П. І. Водяницький, І. Ф. Котлов, А. К. Потапов-Годін, П. І. Свистун, А. К. Сербіченка, І. Шакун.

Залізничники Кременчука брали активну участь в Громадянській війні. На лініях кременчуцького вузла билися бронепоїзди. Кременчук неодноразово переходив з рук у руки. У 1918 році у складі дивізії Української Народної Республіки, на Кременчуцький вокзал приїжджав Володимир Сосюра (1897—1965). У травні 1920 року під час боротьби з білополяками у будівлі вокзалу знаходилися органи управління Південно-Західним фронтом. Членом Реввійськради Південно-Західного фронту був Йосип Сталін, який прибув до Кременчука 29 травня 1920 року. Його квартира знаходилася по вулиці Київській (нині — вулиця Перемоги), а робочий кабінет був у будівлі вокзалу. Тут він брав участь у розробці плану наступу на білополяків, тут відбулася його зустріч з командним складом 1-ї Кінної армії. Війна завдала чималої шкоди залізничній інфраструктурі. У 1920-ті роки пошкоджена інфраструктура відновлена.

З початку німецько-радянської війни з Кременчука вивезено 1100 вагонів матеріальних цінностей. Будівля залізничного вокзалу була зруйнована у 1943 році. 29 вересня 1943 року місто було звільнено від німецько-фашистських загарбників. Після війни будівлю вокзалу відновлено одну з перших у місті. Архітектори вокзалу — Євген Лимар та Петро Арєшкін. На руїнах міста працювали добровольці, які витягли більше 1 мільйона цеглин. У вихідні дні, на недільниках збиралося майже все доросле населення міста. Вироби з дерева виготовив деревообробний комбінат, опалювальні прилади — завод «Кредмаш», клей, оліфу, вапно — шкірзавод № 13, арматуру, фарбу, пресовану фанеру — Вагонобудівний завод. Відсутні матеріали для покрівлі виділило автомобільне міністерство. До кінця 1945 року кам'яні роботи були в основному завершені. 6 листопада 1946 року відбулося урочисте відкриття будівлі вокзалу. Воно повторювало план і розміри довоєнного, але оздоблення фасадів та внутрішнє планування істотно було змінено.

Бита цегла, всілякий будівельне сміття звалили тут же, у скверику перед вокзалом. Так утворилася сучасна Привокзальна площа, у глибині якої залишився зовсім крихітний скверик. У ньому з боку скверу МЮДа встановили скульптуру «Сталін і Ленін у Горках». Вожді були зображені сидячи на лавці. З нагоди 70-річчя з дня народження Сталіна, 23 грудня 1949 року на вокзалі була встановлена мармурова меморіальна дошка з текстом українською та російською мовами: «Під час громадянської війни у цьому будинку працював товариш Сталін Й. В. 29 V — 20 VI 1920». Після викриття культу Сталіна меморіальну дошку демонтовано, скульптурну групу прибрали, на її місці влаштували фонтан.

У 1960—1970-х роках почалося будівництво багатьох промислових підприємств, що викликало розвиток залізничних перевезень. У цей же період вводиться тепловозна тяга, автоблокування, модернізується залізнична техніка. У локомотивному депо Кременчук експлуатуються потужні вантажні тепловози 2ТЕ116. Локомотивне депо було одним з перших, куди почали надходити ці машини.

Сучасність
Кременчуцький залізничний вузол — це комплекс потужних підприємств, якими виконується понад 80 % навантаження в Полтавській дирекції та понад 60 % на Південній залізниці. Кременчуцький вузол — це вісім станцій: Кременчук-Пасажирський, Кагамлицька, Золотнишине, Крюків-на-Дніпрі, Редути, Лівобережна, Велика Кахнівка, Світловодськ. Кожна з них обслуговує окремі профільні підприємства: так, у сфері обслуговування станція Крюків-на-Дніпрі — кар'єроуправління, вагонобудівний та сталеливарний заводи, Лівобережна — Світловодське кар'єроуправління та об'єднання «Дніпроенергобуд»,  — гранітний кар'єр і щебневий завод, Велика Кахнівка — автозавод КрАЗ та колісний завод, Світловодськ — заводи ЗБВ, «Спецзалізобетон» і завод з виготовлення силікатної цегли.

На вузлі виконують навантаження залізної руди (100 % на Південній залізниці), нафтоналивних вантажів (70 %), будівельних вантажів (90 %). Головний пункт підготовки складів під навантаження — станція Кременчук. На станції Кагамлицька — промивально-пропарювальна станція. На станціях Кременчук і Золотнишине були обладнані спеціальні пункти підготовки вагонів, на станції Кагамлицька виконано великий обсяг ремонтних робіт, так як останнім часом на вузлі зросла потреба у відправленні наливних вантажів. На гіркових комплексі станції Кременчук в середньому за добу переробляється 1700 вагонів.

Кременчук є великою сортувальною станцією, яка складається із Передгіркового, Сортувального та приймально-відправного парку «Череднички».

У Кременчуці базується локомотивне депо (ТЧ-6), де використовуються тепловози 2ТЕ116, ТЕП70, ТЕП150 (№ 001—004) і ЧМЕ3, підрозділ Полтавського вагонної дільниці (ВЧ-4), дистанція колії (ПЧ-12). У 2007 році створена Кременчуцька дистанція електропостачання (ЕЧ-8). Таким чином, Кременчук є одним з найважливіших залізничних вузлів не лише Полтавської дирекції та Південної залізниці, але і всієї мережі залізниць України.

У 2005 році Південна залізниця Державної адміністрації залізничного транспорту «Укрзалізниця» провела реконструкцію будівлі вокзалу. Реконструкція проводилася з квітня по вересень, до Дня міста 28 вересня було закінчена. Було відремонтовано не лише приміщення вокзалу, а й привокзальна площа з пероном. Будівельники повністю замінили вікна, систему опалення, зробили гранітну підлогу, оновили кімнату матері і дитини та камери схову. Також всередині вокзалу капітально відремонтували квиткові каси і зал чекання, кафе, пункт зв'язку, аптеку, кімнату міліції і зробили туалети. Місткість вокзалу після реконструкції склала близько 1000 осіб. У серпні 2005 року вокзал було відкрито після реконструкції.

19 січня 2006 року був урочисто запущений швидкісний поїзд № 173/174 «Кремінь» сполученням Кременчук — Київ, а пізніше — і № 177/178 «Дніпровські зорі» сполученням Харків — Кременчук.

З  року на ділянці Кременчук — Знам'янка відкрито пасажирський рух на електротязі. Лінія була електрифікована змінним струмом (~25 кВ).

Впродовж 2010—2011 років електрифікована лінія Кременчук — Полтава. У зв'язку з цим у 2007 році в Кременчуці створена нова дистанція електропостачання (ЕЧ-8), яку очолив В. Г. Гордієвський.

Пасажирське сполучення

Пасажирські поїзди
Згідно з розкладом руху на 2021/2022 роки вокзал відправляє та приймає такі поїзди:

Курсування поїзда № 773/774, який сполучав Київ з Кременчуком, було припинено 4 листопада 2016 року, у зв'язку з відсутністю технічних можливостей для продовження його курсування. Після скасування цього поїзда призначався поїзд № 759/760 сполученням Кременчук — Бахмач.

З 11 грудня 2016 року призначено курсування нового поїзда категорії «регіональний експрес» сполученням Київ — Кременчук, час в дорозі якого складає близько 5 годин.

З 12 грудня 2016 року курсували через день вагони безпересадкового сполучення Луцьк — Харків (через Рівне, Козятин I, Знам'янку, Павлиш, Кременчук, Кобеляки, Полтаву), з 10 грудня 2017 року, замість групи вагонів безпересадкового сполучення, був призначений нічний швидкий поїзд Харків — Ковель, що курсував до березня 2020 року через день.

In Appreciation of: Rex Orange County's "4 Seasons"
Published on : November 13, 2017 by Robby Fineman
When listening to Tyler, The Creator's critically acclaimed album Flower Boy, one of the voices that stands out is that of Alex O'Connor, who landed vocal credits on three of the album's fourteen songs ("Foreword", "Boredom", and "Garden Shed"). O'Connor's intriguing presence on Flower Boy reminded me of how the obscure Joe Fox shaped much of A$AP Rocky's At.Long.Last.A$AP album. O'Connor, who goes by the moniker Rex Orange County, dropped an album in April, Apricot Princess, which had completely flown under my radar. With only ten tracks that total up to 40 minutes, Apricot Princess is a seamless album that is a perfect soundtrack to keep on repeat while studying. While I enjoyed many of the songs on the album, none stuck out to me quite like "4 Seasons".
Source: Fader
Situated smack dab in the middle of the album, "4 Seasons" is the album's longest song and serves as the project's magnum opus. The song's composition mimics the four unique seasons of the year by going through many different movements. In the song's first movement, Rex longs for companionship; this longing is evident in both his lyrical content and singing style, stretching out many of his notes in this verse. The next movement presents a sudden shift to a talk-rap fashion over an organ and bass. The simplicity of the background and lack of percussion not only emphasizes his lyrics, but also makes Rex sound quirkier.
As Rex ends this verse, the addition of a steady drum track brings a sense of stability, consistent with his lyrical path of finding a companion and settling down. The song then crescendos and inserts in a futuristic synth to the instrumental backdrop. In the next section, the background music subsides and a delicate piano serves as the lone instrument to back Rex's vocals. This vulnerable moment breaks the song down before building it up again into a cacophonous mix. Rex existentially preaches before returning to the piano. The song's composition, mirroring the passing of four seasons, is a long journey with many twists and turns. The instrumental backdrop consistently rises to its loudest and most chaotic before abruptly returning to a much simpler, quieter position. The intertwining of the song's central theme, Rex's vocals, and the instrumental composition makes Rex Orange County's "4 Seasons" not only a deep listen, but one worthy of appreciation.
Source: Highsnobiety
While you won't hear it at your next pregame, Rex Orange County's "4 Seasons" is a solitudinous odyssey through the unstable lens of a teenager, unsure of his place in the world. Like this song, the rollercoaster of life has many ups and downs. What's most important though is riding the ride and enjoying the journey.

Though no one sets out to fail, failure is an essential aspect of learning. You can't learn if you never fail. But it is important to remember that failure is but a means to an end – learning – and not an end in and of itself.
Failure should not be sought out, but when it happens you should squeeze it for all it's worth and learn what you can from it.

In making presentations in Spain, Ireland, and Italy the most poignant conversations I have had were with parents whose children have emigrated or plan to emigrate upon graduation from university because of the high unemployment rates in those nations. Unemployment rates for those aged 15-24 are at Great Depression levels through most of the EU periphery. Emigration is depriving the periphery of its most precious endowment – its children. The young adults that leave the periphery are disproportionately their best and brightest. They are better educated and more entrepreneurial than their peers.
One of my recent articles explored the question of why the U.S. media treats Ecuador's President Rafael Correa with hostility and Italy's Prime Minister Monti with the greatest respect given the fact that Ecuador has experienced economic and social success under Correa's leadership and Italy has experienced severe failures under Monti's leadership. Correa is an official who has been elected and re-elected and has the highest popularity rating of any leader in the Americas. Monti has never been elected and is unpopular with Italians. Correa and Monti are economists, with doctorates from U.S. universities, but Correa has succeeded because he understands economics while Monti has failed because he still worships a series of dogmatic theories that were falsified decades ago. Monti's dogmas have a consistent bias – they serve as apologies for economic, social, and political domination by the wealthy at the expense of the working class. Correa's economic views have a consistent overlay of Catholic social justice teachings. Correa's economics have also proven to work in the real world.
This article focuses on migration, which has played such a critical role in recent times for Italy and Ecuador. Correa inherited an emigration crisis. Ecuador went through a financial crisis driven by the failure of its largest banks in the late 1990s that caused catastrophic harm to the economy. The crisis prompted over 10% of Ecuadorians to emigrate, mostly to Spain and the U.S. (I play soccer here in Kansas City with three Ecuadorians, but the great migrations were originally to New York and New Jersey.) The Spanish and U.S. economies were experiencing the rapid expansion of real estate bubbles in the mid-2000s, but as a percentage of GDP the Spanish bubble inflated almost twice as much as the U.S. bubble. Emigration to Spain from Ecuador faced lower legal barriers so more Ecuadorians went to Spain than the U.S. Ecuador's emigration rate was the highest in South America.
The Spanish, Irish, U.K., and U.S. property bubbles all stalled in 2006. Correa was first elected president in late 2006. As he came to leadership in 2007, many of Ecuador's leading trading partners' economies were slowing. By 2008, the U.S. and much of Europe were recognizing that they had fallen into the Great Recession. The fact that these nations were falling into recession made it less attractive for Ecuadorians to emigrate to Spain and the U.S., but it also reduced remittances and potential Ecuadorian exports. Remittances are Ecuador's second largest source of external funds (after oil sales), so any reduction in remittances posed a serious danger to Ecuador's economy. Spain and the U.S. are important trade partners of Ecuador, so their severe recessions were likely to drag Ecuador into recession. The combined effect of the recessions in Spain and the U.S. on remittances and exports was likely to lead to increased Ecuadorian unemployment. Increased unemployment could have increased emigration from Ecuador.
From the start of his presidency, Correa made reducing unemployment and emigration major priorities. Correa's task was made much more difficult by the fact that Ecuador does not have a sovereign currency (it uses the U.S. dollar as its currency). This meant that it was exposed to the bond vigilantes and had vastly less ability to adopt the stimulus programs that could have reduced unemployment much more quickly. As an economist, Correa was aware of these facts and warned that the use of the U.S. dollar as Ecuador's currency sharply constrained the nation's policy options. Correa warned the nation about the risk but he is a pragmatist rather than a dogmatist and he recognized that readopting a sovereign currency was not politically feasible. He was a great proponent of the creation of a Bank of the South that could finesse some of the problems caused by Ecuador's use of the U.S. dollar, but he realized that this was a long-term project. Correa realized that he would need to create immediately the ability to expand education and jobs programs. He also recognized that Ecuador's sovereign debt added a crippling constraint to Ecuador's ability to grow and reduce unemployment and migration through such programs.
Correa took the three essential steps to minimize this sovereign debt constraint. He repudiated the debt, repurchased the great bulk of the debt at a large discount, and he secured a large loan from China. The loan ensured that Ecuador would continue to have access to credit to fund investments that would increase jobs, increase social mobility and stability, and reduce emigration. This creative and just solution demonstrated the advantages of having a real economist not in thrall of failed dogmas as a national leader.
One of the programs Correa promptly adopted was the "Welcome Home Plan" to encourage emigrants to return to Ecuador. The program proved well-timed because of the Spanish and U.S. crises. The innovative program aids returnees start productive businesses in Ecuador, further reducing unemployment. The symbolism of making such a program a national priority was also highly useful. Ecuador has also adopted reforms under Correa that make it far easier to emigrate to Ecuador.
Correa's task in reducing unemployment and emigration was difficult enough given all these difficulties, but fate conspired to make the task far tougher. Continuing violence in Colombia has led to large-scale emigration to Ecuador. The official numbers are large, but most unofficial estimates by experts place the number of refugees or émigrés at 200,000 – 300,000. That is a staggering burden for a nation like Ecuador and the northern portion of Ecuador, where the Colombians settle, already was less economically developed. This makes Ecuador's success in avoiding recession and reducing unemployment, youth unemployment, and emigration all the more impressive.
The most recent figure I found for unemployment in 2012 was 4.6%. The most recent figure for unemployment of those 15-24 years old is from 2009 when it was 14.1%. In 2009, the overall unemployment rate was 7.3%, so it is likely that unemployment of those 15-24 years old has fallen materially. These are remarkable results, but it is astounding that a nation that was synonymous with severe emigration attained a negative emigration balance no later than 2009 (I do not have data for when the rate first turned negative) and has maintained it for several years. That means that more people move to Ecuador than leave it. Ecuador now ranks a spectacular 137 compared to other nations in this category. [My source for migration data is the CIA World Factbook – a delicious irony given the CIA's dim view of Correa.]

The contrast to Monti's results in Italy
Prime Minister Monti also inherited a series of crises. Italy was suffering from an acute debt crisis, serious general unemployment, severe levels of unemployment among those aged 15-24, and mounting emigration of Italy's best and brightest. Italy lost its sovereign currency when it adopted the euro. Monti's policy space for action was eliminated by Monti's embrace of long-failed dogmas, particularly austerity. The results of Monti's austerity program (dictated by Berlin) were disastrous. My colleagues Randy Wray and Stephanie Kelton and President Corrrea predicted that result.
Under Monti, unemployment surged to more than twice the rate in Ecuador and unemployment among those aged 15-24 reached catastrophic levels (over 36%).
Ireland is infamous for its emigration, particularly of its recent university graduates. The sad joke in Ireland is: "Ireland's leading export is the Irish." Its net migration rate is high.
1.69 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2012 est.)
country comparison to the world: 43
Ireland's net migration is so large that it constitutes a critical threat to the nation's future. The single most disturbing statement I heard was a minister in the Irish government who was sitting next to me on a panel for a radio interview. He was discussing his initiative to improve telecommunications so that Irish parents would be able to more easily make Skype-like video conversations with their children and grandchildren after they emigrated. That summed up the withering effects of economics dogma. The Irish government is enforcing the self-destructive austerity measures demanded by Berlin even though they know it will cost them the loss of many of their best-educated children. Their response is to subsidize businesses, not people, so that it will be easier to see an image of your grandchild who now lives 1500 kilometers away and who you will see in person rarely. The most disturbing aspect was that the minister was blind to the madness of his "solution" to the problem of austerity driving the best-educated Irish children from Ireland.
The terrible conditions brought on by Irish emigration help one put in perspective the level of migration Italy reached under Monti's leadership.
Under Monti, Italy's loss of its best and brightest has grown to the point where it is well over twice as severe as Ireland's horrific migration rate. Italy now has one of the most severe migration problems of any high-income nation in the world.
Correa's successes in avoiding recession, reducing unemployment and poverty, and securing political stability and tremendous public support for his policies are well known in Ecuador but poorly understood in the U.S. due to the general hostility of the U.S. government and media. The thing about Correa that most upsets them is his success. It is easy to dismiss a failure, but they have no have no substantive response to his success. Their dogmas have failed and his policies have succeeded – and they will never forgive him for proving them wrong.
Correa's most impressive success, however, may be the remarkable turnaround in migration from Ecuador. He has provided Ecuadorians of all classes with such a surge in hope for their nation, their families, and their job and social prospects that they overwhelmingly believe in Ecuador's future. They are showing that belief through what economists call "revealed preferences" – they choose to live in Ecuador. There is no more sincere compliment a people can provide to their nation, their fellow citizens, and their elected leaders.

Unless it's custom-made for a special place or purpose, e.g., deep shade or rock garden, a landscape without ornamental grasses simply looks unfinished.
Whatever the placement, there's a grass that will love it. Even in shade, species like Hakonechloa macra or Carex pensylvanica can supply the redeeming texture and soft motion that only grasses possess. And on fast-draining slopes where succulents would seem the only likely survivors, you can call on Festuca or Sporobolus.
When harsh conditions are the challenge, here are a few possibilities for your next project.
This one almost goes without saying. The Illinois selection 'Northwind' is one of just 3 grasses chosen as the Perennial Plant of the Year by the Perennial Plant Association, an honor whose criteria include suitability for a wide range of conditions and geographical locations.
After decades of selection and breeding, there's a goodly range of foliage colors to choose from, from steely blues like 'Dallas Blues' and 'Heavy Metal' to deep maroon reds including 'Hot Rod', 'Shenandoah', Ruby Ribbons and the British Columbia introduction 'Blood Brothers'. All should handle winters as cold as Zone 4 and 5.
Some plants are hard to kill in nature but surprisingly tricky to grow in captivity. Big bluestem has a well-earned reputation as one tough customer, the go-to grass for reclaiming compromised soil and stabilizing badly damaged sites like strip mines. But you can weaken, if not outright kill it with kindness, i.e., by overwatering and/or -feeding. Once established, it actually prefers to be on the dry and hungry and side.
What Andropogon has NOT been known for is beauty. It's considered a workhorse, not a show pony. But that's changing thanks to the breeding and selecting efforts at Intrinsic Perennial Garden in Zone 5 northern Illinois, where Brent Horvath has bred new summer and fall colors into selections like 'Rain Dance' and 'Red October'. The straight species can take it down to Zone 3.
Like its big brother – both were once called Andropogon, until the taxonomists decided that was too easy to pronounce – little bluestem is a sturdy beast, hardy to Zone 3. And it too likes a lean diet or it will lodge, i.e., flop over. (If anyone knows why that's called lodging, I'd love to hear the explanation.) Creek Hill Nursery selected 'Standing Ovation' because, as its name implies, it stays bolt upright when others swoon. I've seen swaths of 'Standing Ovation' perfectly erect in October, while an older form nearby looked as if deer had bedded down in it.
The straight species, S. scoparium, is tough as nails. On a canoeing/camping jaunt in November, we found it happily colonizing narrow crevices atop bare, windswept, totally-exposed rock islands in the Susquehanna River. All varieties can be susceptible to fungal ailments like rust in high humidity, especially if they stay too wet too long.
This one's not nearly as well known as it deserves to be. Its short stature -- usually about 2 feet (60-65cm) – makes it versatile for a wide range of landscape uses. It can even be mown like lawn, but then you'd miss its cheerful seedheads, set at a jaunty angle to their stems like little pennants, waving airily in the slightest breeze. It's hardy all the way down to Zone 3, and sturdy enough to be a good candidate for "hell strips," those deadly hot, neglected, narrow spaces hemmed in by asphalt and concrete. The species has deep tan seedheads and bright gold fall color. The patented variety 'Blonde Ambition', with blue-green foliage and paler seedheads, was voted Best New Perennial/Grass at the 2011 FarWest Show.
The obvious choice, 'Karl Foerster', is the one you'll see everywhere for the simple reason that it works – and it makes a designer look like a genius. Don't overlook the variegated, vertically-striped forms like 'Avalanche', 'Eldorado' and 'Overdam', which are also hardy to Zones 4 or 5.
Many grasses are most effective in masses. Deschampsia epitomizes this phenomenon. Individually it forms tufted clumps, but in a swath its fine flower panicles are a dazzling cloud in late-day sun. If the species is too tall at 4' (1.2 meters), a diminutive form, 'Pixie Fountain' stops at half that. Both can handle at least Zone 4.
A relative, D. antarctica, is one of just two flowering plants native to where its specific epithet suggests. True, Antarctica is south of Canada; it's south of everything. I don't know if there's a Zone Zero, but if there is, it's probably there.
Is the best-known ornamental grass in the US tough enough for Canada? Depends – on which varieties you plant, and where you plant them. If you're talking about Leamington, Ontario – 'Canada's sun parlor' -- no problem. If you've got a contract in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, your options slim down a bit.
xgiganteus can take it down to Zone 4. Still, some protection couldn't hurt for the first winter or so.
The famous Toronto Music Garden's plantings include quite a few grasses, to wit: Miscanthus 'Gracillimus' and 'Malepartus', Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster', Pennisetum 'Hameln', Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola', and Imperata 'Red Baron'. Of course, the garden overlooks Lake Ontario – a giant buffer that keeps the area generally in Zone 6 with microclimates of 7, but also a conduit for some pretty severe storms.
That's by no means a comprehensive list of grasses with guts, but it's a good start. Don't rule out tender grasses like Pennisetum 'Rubrum' and 'Fireworks', or the bold Napier grasses like Princess Molly and First Knight. Yes, you'll need to replant – but they're worth it.
Remember: A tough situation is no reason to cheat at golf, or to skip or skimp on grasses. Play it where you find it.
Grasses grow in surprisingly rugged terrain, like this Schizachyrium scoparium.

Pop bottles will be the main material in Cape Breton school's greenhouse
Students at Coxheath Elementary in Cape Breton plan to add a greenhouse to their schoolyard this spring made out of roughly 3,000 two-litre pop bottles.
Coxheath Elementary needs 3,000 2-litre plastic bottles for project and is looking for donations
Holly Conners · CBC News · Posted: Jan 13, 2020 6:00 AM AT | Last Updated: January 13
Students and teachers at Coxheath Elementary have collected about 100 two-litre pop bottles so far. They need another 2,900 for the project. (Holly Conners/CBC)
The bottoms of the pop bottles will be cut off so they can be stacked on top of each other. The stacks will be held together using wooden dowels, then arranged side-by-side to fill in the walls of a wooden frame.
Student Eli Cunsolo-Willox's carpenter dad has agreed to build the wooden frame. The end product should look something like a see-through garden shed.
"I think we've gained the knowledge that our planet is not doing so well ... that we need reusing," said the Grade 5 student. "It's super important because this is our life that we are trying to protect."
The students are getting some inspiration from an Australian man who has documented his own plastic bottle greenhouse online, said Kim Corbett, the lead teacher on the project.
Greenhouse project foreman Ethan Morris shows what the finished project might look like. (Holly Conners/CBC)
The school already has an outdoor garden. The greenhouse project got its start through a program that helps students who struggle academically to find their niche through project-based learning.
"The fun thing about project-based learning is that you don't realize that you're meeting outcomes for mathematics, language arts, science," said Corbett. "Because this is a sustainable venture that we're taking on, so that's our science."
The goal is to use as many recycled materials as possible. The bottoms of the bottles will be used as planters for the greenhouse.
"We're going to put it up in the courtyard and we're going to put vegetables and plants and flowers in there," said Grade 4 student Zoe Wilson.
The students will be charting their progress through blogging and social media posts. They're also looking for bottle donations and have only collected a little more than 100 so far.
They plan to start construction in the spring.
Plastic bottles 'can last a long time'
Corbett hopes to develop curriculum out of the project that other schools can use in the future.
Grade 4 student Lily Moussa envisions a legacy for the students that will stand in their schoolyard long after they've graduated. She hopes the structure will still be operational in 300 years, noting plastic bottles "can last a long time."

Just for fun and to enjoy what I love with friends I had a paint party. We laughed, ate and painted tulips in a mason jar. At least that is what we were supposed to be painting.
I held a Paint Party at my house for some friends who had expressed interest in painting with me. We wanted to make it a fun time for all so everyone brought finger food to share, some wine and an adventurous spirit.
This was my own design I shared with them. At the end of this post I have a link to the video on painting red tulips in a mason jar.
My house is on the smaller side so I kept the head count low. My husband helped shove furniture to the side and set up a long folding table. The lighting was not great but everyone seemed able to work on their masterpieces.
Ashley was smart and sat on the edge where her left handedness wouldn't bump elbows with anyone else.
I was happy everyone went with their own version of the design and was brave enough to step outside the box.
I did keep reminding them that this was fun art, not fine art and to not sweat being perfect. It will all come together as you paint.
The point of these gatherings is not a paint lesson, it is to relax and have fun painting together. The end result of the painting does not matter, it is the laughter with friends that makes it worth while.
And boy did we laugh….
and eat and sip along with painting.
I think the paintings turned out rather well for first time painters though they were mighty critical of their own work. I guess we are all our own worst critics.
But I know fun was had by all, just look at those faces!
I had so much interest in this but only so much space that I will have to do it again. The pattern was my own design but I did let them choose a background color from a choice of 3.
Have you ever done a painting party?
Not yet, I will get that up soon.
This looked like a lot of fun!

I've never seen her live before, but the Lana Del Rey show in Charlotte on January 30th felt special -- she seemed to connect with the audience on a very personal level.
Lana Del Rey is sultry and beachy, old-fashioned and current. After she and her background singers uniquely performed "Pretty When You Cry" lying down, out of the view of the audience, they arose and segued into a medley of "Cherry" and Simon & Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair." Playing against a backdrop of rocks and palm trees while the video screen behind her alternated between showing Del Rey and the sea and sometimes both, Lana had the crowd in her palm from the opening song.
Along the way, Lana Del Rey performed fan favorites like "Blue Jeans," "Video Games, "Summertime Sadness," and "Off To The Races." She performed deep cuts and even took requests, performing "Heroin" at the crowd's request and letting them take the lead when she forgot the words.
Lana Del Rey even stopped the show three-quarters of the way through for a good ten minutes to take selfies with fans. They showered her with flowers, tokens of their affection, and their undying love.
Lana Del Rey briefly addressed the Radiohead controversy surrounding "Get Free" before performing the song and ended the show with "Off To The Races." If you get the chance, you should definitely check her out on the LA To The Moon tour.


Vertical gardens allow you to have fresh vegetables, flowers and herbs no matter where you live. Here are some ways to start your own vertical garden.
You don't need to garden on a horizontal surface. Whether you grow in the country, the suburbs or the city, there are many good reasons to grow up.
If you are short of space, planting on a vertical plane gives you more room. Vines take up precious garden space that could be filled with other vegetables, herbs and flowers. Train those vines up a trellis, and get them out of the way!
An outside wall of your house might be calling you to use it like a canvas. Decorate it with visually interesting shapes, lines, textures, and colors.
If your property is generally level, a vertical growing space will break up the expanse, creating mystery, and giving you a more diverse view.
Vertical gardens also make beautiful and effective privacy fences for residents on both sides.
Your imagination and maybe your building skills will be the only limit here. Any existing surface can be converted to a garden with a little ingenuity.
If you have a fence, you can attach a series of containers to it and plant them. Make sure they have drainage holes in the bottom. Otherwise, water will collect, and rot the roots, killing your plants. Large tin cans make great planters.
A fence is also a great place to trellis vining vegetables, such as pole beans, peas, cucumbers, squash, melons and tomatoes. Morning glories, honeysuckle and sweet peas are beautiful and fragrant flowers in need of trellising, too. Put your fence to work!
Cover a huge expanse of wall with large planting pockets of heavy duty recycled fabric. This is my favorite.
Upcycle plastic water or soda bottles as small planters, and attach them to a bare wall.
String up a series of hanging shoe organizers. Poke drainage holes in the back of each section to keep water from dripping into the plant below.
You can also create the surface you need for planting. Think beyond the traditional arbor or trellis, but don't discount them, either!
Stack a grouping of crates to use as planters.
A simple wooden structure with chicken wire makes a surface for hanging pots.
Upcycled plastic bottles can be used on a similar structure instead of pots.
Build a wall of lumber, wire, and soil, then fill with edible and ornamental plants. This one can be any height and width to fit in your yard to scale. Pretty elaborate, but so beautiful!
Surround yourself with greenery planted in tiles for an afternoon rendezvous.
Pallets are easy to score! They pile up fast behind nurseries, hardware stores, plumbing supply businesses and big box stores. Always ask for them instead of just taking them. They can be transformed into almost anything.
As a vertical garden, a pallet can be the wall, or it can be planted and hung on a wall or fence.
Remove every other slat of two pallets, paint them bright colors, plant in the newly created spaces, and prop them up against each other.
Build an entire wall of them alternating the direction of the slats for a checkerboard effect.
Attach four together to create a large cube.
Prop one up against a tree, incorporating in into the landscape.
Or prop it up against a richly colored wall for visual impact.
No reason to not have a garden!
Vertical gardening is suitable for the smallest urban balcony or the largest barn wall. You can enjoy fresh greens (lettuce, kale, chard, spinach, bok choi), herbs (basil, thyme, parsley, chives), and flowers (Johnny Jump Ups, pansies, marigolds, impatiens) no matter where you live!
Experiment with different setups and plants. Garden organically, and remember to plant some flowers for the bees!

Grantees of offices, commissions and pardons (1350-1354)
The Patent Rolls are the Chancery enrolments of royal letters patent. Those for the 24th to the 27th years of the reign of king Edward III (25 January 1350 to 24 January 1354) were edited for the Public Record Office by R. F. Isaacson, and published in 1907. The main contents are royal commissions and grants; ratifications of ecclesiastical estates; writs of aid to royal servants and purveyors; and pardons.

Clergy, the religious and the faithful in Britain and Ireland (1342-1362)
These are abstracts of the entries relating to Great Britain and Ireland from the Regesta of popes Clement VI and Innocent VI, from the period when the papal court was resident at Avignon. Many of these entries relate to clerical appointments and disputes, but there are also indults to devout laymen and women for portable altars, remission of sins, &c. This source is particularly valuable for Ireland, for which many of the key government records of this period are lost. Clement VI was consecrated and crowned 19 May 1342 (the day from which his pontificate is dated); Innocent VI was crowned 18 December 1352 and died 12 September 1362. The extracts were made by W. H. Bliss and C. Johnson from Regesta cxxxvii to ccxliv, and published in 1897. The registers are almost complete for these two pontificates. At his accession, Clement VI promised to grant benefices to all poor clerks who should come to Avignon and claim them within two months of his coronation. As many as 100,000 are said to have come, and the register for the first year of his pontificate runs to twelve volumes.
These are abstracts of the entries relating to Great Britain and Ireland from the Regesta of popes Urban V, Gregory XI, (Anti-Pope) Clement VII, Urban VI and Boniface IX, and the Lateran Regesta of Boniface IX. Many of these entries relate to clerical appointments and disputes, but there are also indults to devout laymen and women for portable altars, remission of sins, &c. This source is particularly valuable for Ireland, for which many of the key government records of this period are lost. Urban V was consecrated and crowned 6 November 1362 (the day from which his pontificate is dated); Gregory XI was crowned 5 January 1371; Clement VII 31 October 1378; Urban VI 18 April 1378; Boniface IX 9 November 1389 and died 1 October 1404. Until 1376 the papacy was in exile at Avignon. The extracts were made by W. H. Bliss from Regesta ccxlv to cccxx and Lateran Regesta i to xliii, and published in 1902. Bliss remarked that 'although the writing of the Papal Registers of the 14th century is clearer than that of many contemporary English MSS., the entries in them were for the most part founded upon petitions or letters from different countries, and the scribes in the Papal Chancery must have experienced even greater difficulty in copying English proper names than English students experience nowadays in reading the early Chancery Rolls preserved in the Public Record Office. Not having local or personal knowledge, they constantly misread doubtful letters.'
The Patent Rolls are the Chancery enrolments of royal letters patent. Those for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years of the reign of king Henry V (21 March 1413 to 20 March 1416) were edited for the Public Record Office by R. C. Fowler, and published in 1910. The main contents are royal commissions and grants; ratifications of ecclesiastical estates; writs of aid to royal servants and purveyors; and pardons. The commissions of the peace issued for the English towns and counties and entered on the rolls, being largely repetitive, have been consolidated in a single appendix.
The English in France (1420-1421)
King Henry V of England claimed the throne of France (and quartered the fleurs-de-lis of France with the lions of England on the royal standard) as had his predecessors since Edward III, as descendants of Philip IV of France. He married Katherine, youngest daughter of king Charles VI of France in 1420, and thereafter styled himself 'heir and regent of France'. The English had real power or influence in Brittany, Normandy, Flanders and Gascony, and actual possession of several coastal garrisons, in particular Calais, where the French inhabitants had been replaced by English. The English administration kept a series of records called the French Rolls. On these are recorded royal appointments and commissions in France; letters of protection and safe-conduct to soldiers, merchants, diplomats and pilgrims travelling to France from England and returning, and to foreign legations. There are also licences to merchants to export to the Continent, and to captains to transport pilgrims. This calendar of the French Roll for the 8th year of the reign of Henry V (21 March 1420 to 20 March 1421) was prepared by Alexander Charles Ewald and published in 1883.
Close Rolls (1429-1435)
The close rolls of the 8th to 13th years of the reign of king Henry VI record the main artery of government administration in England, the orders sent out day by day to individual officers, especially sheriffs of shires: they are an exceptionally rich source for so early a period. There is also some material relating to Wales, Scotland, Ireland and the English possessions in France. Also included is the Exchange Roll of 1424 to 1434, of licences to transmit sums of money out of the realm.
The English in France (1440)
King Henry VI of England (one of the grandsons of Charles VI of France) claimed the throne of France (and quartered the fleurs-de-lis of France with the lions of England on the royal standard) as had his predecessors since Edward III, as descendants of Philip IV of France. The English had real power or influence in Brittany, Normandy, Flanders and Gascony, and actual possession of several coastal garrisons, in particular Calais, where the French inhabitants had been replaced by English. Henry VI came to the throne only seven years after his father had trounced the French at Agincourt; but his cousin, Charles VII, who became king of France in the same year, spent his long reign rebutting the English king's claim to his throne by territorial reconquest and consolidation. The English administration kept a series of records called the French Rolls. On these are recorded royal appointments and commissions in France; letters of protection and safe-conduct to soldiers, merchants, diplomats and pilgrims travelling to France from England and returning, and to foreign legations. There are also licences to merchants to export to the Continent, and to captains to transport pilgrims. As Henry VI's reign progressed, and the English grip on northern France loosened, the French Rolls also increasingly include entries concerning the ransoming of English prisoners.
The close rolls of the 20th to 25th years of the reign of king Henry VI record the main artery of government administration in England, the orders sent out day by day to individual officers, especially sheriffs of shires: they are an exceptionally rich source for so early a period. There is also some material relating to Wales, Scotland, Ireland and the English possessions in France.
These are abstracts of the entries relating to Great Britain and Ireland from the Lateran and Vatican Regesta of popes Pius II and Paul II. Many of these entries relate to clerical appointments and disputes, but there are also indults to devout laymen and women for portable altars, remission of sins, &c. This source is particularly valuable for Ireland, for which many of the key government records of this period are lost. Many of the names in the text were clearly a puzzle to the scribes in Rome, and spelling of British and Irish placenames and surnames is chaotic.
Officers and tenants of the Scottish crown (1488-1496)
In 1887 the 10th volume of Rotuli Scaccarii Regum Scotorum, or The Exchequer Rolls of Scotland, was published in Edinburgh as part of the Scottish Series of Chronicles and Memorials. The main text is a transcript in extended Latin, but with some passages reduced to an abstract in English (in italics), of the rolls of the Scottish royal exchequer from 19 June 1488 to 12 October 1496 (rolls cclxxviii to ccxcv, old numbers ccxciii to cccix). This more or less continuous series alternates between accounts of the Ballivi ad Extra (royal chamberlains, lessees of lordships, rangers of wards, receivers &c) and those of the Custumars (receivers of customary payments and similar revenues) and bailies (bailiffs) of burghs (boroughs). In all, they give a summary description of all these sources of royal revenue - and not only mention the payers and receivers in general, but also refer to many occasional payments to and receipts from individuals hardly otherwise found in the surviving records. An appendix (pages 629 to 763) of rentals of royal property throughout Scotland in the same period gives a rich harvest of personal names; and another (764-772), an Index in Libros Responsionum, lists persons to whom sasine (seisin) was granted in 1492 to 1496.

No budging on corporate tax: Kenny, Gilmore
President Francois Hollande.
It's the issue that is never quite tucked into bed. The Republic's low corporate tax rate of 12.5 percent could be back in Europe's crosshairs in the context of potential changes to the European Union's fiscal compact treaty, a document that is will have potentially profound effects on the Irish economy for years.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore have both has insisted that Ireland will not budge on the rate.
Speaking in Dublin at an event hosted by Bloomberg, Mr. Kenny said any changes to the country's tax regime would not be in Ireland's interests.
"Ireland will support a growth agenda," he said in reference to calls for growth initiatives to be added to a treaty which, thus far, has been written up with austerity as its main thrust.
"Ireland will support a development agenda. But there are clearly other issues in there with which we don't agree. Changes in the corporation tax rate and localized financial transaction taxes are not in the interests of this country," the taoiseach was reported as saying in a report carried by the website, breakingnews.ie.
Separately, Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore said that "as far as Ireland is concerned, our rate of corporation tax is established, it's not going to change."
Sign up to The Irish Echo Newsletter
According to the report, the long-running debate resurfaced when an advisor for new French president, Francois Hollande – who has pushed for the treaty to be amended to include growth measures – said France may promote a harmonized rate of corporation tax across Europe.
However, Mr. Gilmore said that Ireland should stick to its rate to provide certainty to potential investors and to ensure growth in the domestic economy.
"We don't intend to change our position in relation to our corporation tax, that's absolutely firm. We have to provide certainty to investors by being clear that our rate of corporation tax is not changing and also indeed by passing the stability treaty, so that they have confidence in the euro and confidence in Ireland," Gilmore said.
The 12.5 percent rate has been a critical factor in attracting overseas corporations, most especially U.S. companies, to base their European operations in the Republic.
The North's corporate tax rate is higher though politicians in Belfast have been pressing the London government for a reduction that would put the North on par with the Republic.
The news French president, meanwhile, is picking up where his predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy, left off in honing in critically on the low Irish rate.

I'll have to post a picture later Here 'tis and there is one on Ravelry, if you want to pop over there. My Sockamania November socks are done. These are the "Ripples" pattern. It was fun to work, and would have been quick if I weren't doing other knits. The yarn is Knitting By Zen's "Spicee" from One Planet. I loved how the colours knit up in the pattern – even though I almost never mix a lace with a varigated. Sunray should be finished by tonight, and hopefully blocked on the weekend, and I'm still knitting away at the Vogue Trellis Stole.
It kinda felt like Christmas for the last two weeks 🙂 !

Q: GWT Best practice to send huge amount of data from server to client Which are the Best practices to send huge amount of data from  server to client in GWT?
Right now we are facing performance issue in GWT 2.3.0.
Our server side is sending huge xml (Size in MB/GB) to client side, our client side parses that xml and using parsed data, list of beans are formed for populating data in Celltable grid.
We are filling 1k + / 10k+ records in CellTable grid.
Is there any effective way/ Best practices followed while dealing with such a huge data?
If we parse the data at server side and formed the beans at server side, Is this good? or any alternative way..
Any help or guidance in this matter would be appreciated.

A: Basically you only request as much data (and a little more) than is currently viewed by the user, not the whole data set.
See Adding Paging Controls for further details.

A: Two practices when dealing with large data for your case:
1) Use JSON instead of xml, that way the client doesn't need to parse the data but can directly use the data. In GWT via the GWT-JSNI interface you can write data objects accessing these JavaScript objects, see: http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideCodingBasicsJSNI.html. With a JSON REST library you can generate the JSON on the server instead of sending xml to the client. But you can also use GWT-RPC on both client/server, which makes programming easier because the whole data conversion to and from JSON is handled by GWT, but adds some type information to the objects send.
2) Use paging: only get data that is visible to the user and cache it in the client. If you have a table presentation it's not likely the user needs all the data at once. GWT cell panels have support out of the box (see the link Oliver mentions about Adding Paging Controls)

A: As in the other answers, return only the data that can usefully be used by the user and lazily fetch other data when the user requests it (or Predictive Fetch).
See AsyncDataProvider section here:
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideUiCellWidgets.html#data-provider

A: *

*Use paging. GWT cell widgets support paging out-of-the-box. So implement server side paging so that each time you click 'next' a server call is made. That way, the client only deals with say 10 or 20 records at a time.

*Use Javascript Overlay types as the display beans. And to populate these beans, use JSON as the transport model instead of XML. If you use XML (i.e. Async calls), then GWT does some JAXB marshalling/unmarshalling logic in the back end. If you use JSON, much of that is avoided.

Q: Get current logged in facebook userId This is close to the question asked Getting an Facebook user profile data with Javascript here, but I am not looking to interface at all with anything more than the publically available facebook API info.  For example, if you navigate to http://graph.facebook.com/ericfusciardi  you will see my public facebook id, and public name supplied to facebook -- no credential or API token required.
Is there a way to obtain the current logged in username OR userid without needing to create an "app" in facebook and registering the SDK / jump through all its API hoops [ which only seems relevent to apps wanting to dig deeper than public info ]?  My plugin is only interested in the public information.  Is the ID/name stored in a cookie or something?  If so, where can it be reliably located?

A: If you want to get the user id of the current user, you need the access token of that user (the only way).
Now, to get the access token the user must login-in with facebook (again, the only way to get the access token)
And finally, to integrate "login with facebook", you have to create an App. (but I guess its not a big deal, is it?)

A: Use whatever API you desire, but to get this information, it is held in the facebook.com cookie ... attribute name is "c_user"  -- It contains a long value that you can use to query graph.facebook.com for relevent data.

Q: In VBA, how do I call the value of a cell that's populated by a reference formula Every day, I get a list of files that I have to email different people customized emails depending on different parameters (e.g., if a file hasn't moved in X days they'll get one email, if a file is at a certain milestone they'll get a different email, etc)
This is how I approached it, which may not have been the best way, but I wanted to avoid doing all the sorting logic in VBA because I'm not as familiar with it.
First, I paste the list and parameters into a worksheet, and then I have a separate worksheet for each custom email, using some nested IF statements to show each file on the correct worksheet, like this:
=IF(AND(Broker!$Q3="N",PasteExpiringLocks!$D3<>"",PasteExpiringLocks!$B3=TODAY(),VALUE(PasteExpiringLocks!$J3)>29),PasteExpiringLocks!B3,"")

All of this works how I want it, each file gets grouped together how I want it.
Next, I want to use VBA to then send out emails for each file on each worksheet, and every file on a single worksheet will get the same general email, except with cell references for specific parameters like name and file number.
 Worksheets("DisclosuresCancel").Select
    For Each cell In Columns("N").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
       If cell.Value Like "?*@?*.?*" And _
           LCase(Cells(cell.Row, "P").Value) = "y" Then

            Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
            On Error Resume Next
            With OutMail
                .To = Cells(cell.Row, "N").Value
                .Cc = Cells(cell.Row, "O").Value
                .Subject = Cells(cell.Row, "D").Value & ", " & Cells(cell.Row, "C").Value & ", Expiring Locks - " & Date
                .Body = "Sample Email"
            .Send
            End With
            On Error GoTo 0
            Set OutMail = Nothing
        End If
    Next cell

This code is also working fine with multiple worksheets in a test file I was running, however, the next step is giving me trouble, because in the test file I was using actual values to test the email VBA code, but the actual file uses formulas. So, for example when it's looking for the .To = Cells(cell.Row, "N").Value it just sees the formula that references the email address on a different sheet, and not the result of that formula.
I have a "simple" solution, which is to run a macro that does a copy>special paste on each sheet before running the email script... but that clears out all the formulas, and I'd have to keep a backup file in case it gets saved or something, and that just seems like a workaround for not knowing how to code it correctly.
Is there a simple way that when referencing a cell value like Cells(cell.Row, "P").Value that it will just evaluate the formula in the cell and use the result? I tried using the Evaluate function in VBA, but that didn't seem to be working right either for doing multiple rows.
Any ideas?
UPDATE:
I've made some changes that MIGHT work, but I'm currently getting an Error 91 when I try to set the cells I'm referencing as variants. Here's how I've got my VBA setup at the beginning:
`Option Explicit
Sub Email()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim cell As Range
Dim ato As Variant, acc As Variant, LoanNum As Variant, ExpDate As Variant, _
    Milestone As Variant, BorrName As Variant, YNmail As Variant, Lofficer As Variant, LOA As Variant

ato = Cells(cell.Row, "N").Value
acc = Cells(cell.Row, "O").Value
LoanNum = Cells(cell.Row, "D").Value
ExpDate = Cells(cell.Row, "B").Value
Milestone = Cells(cell.Row, "G").Value
BorrName = Cells(cell.Row, "C").Value
YNmail = Cells(cell.Row, "P").Value
Lofficer = Cells(cell.Row, "E").Value
LOA = Cells(cell.Row, "F").Value

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

On Error GoTo cleanup`

After that, it goes into the email code (see further above) but replacing the cell references with their new variables like: .Subject = LoanNum & ", " & BorrName & ", Expiring Locks - " & Date, but when I debug the code it stops at the ato = Cells(cell.Row, "N").Value line and gives an error 91. Thoughts?

A: Try assigning cell values to variables before using them in With OutMmail.
Dim ato as Variant, acc as Variant, Subja as Variant, Subjb as Variant
ato = Cells(cell.Row, "N").Value
acc = Cells(cell.Row, "O").Value
Subja = Cells(cell.Row, "D").Value
Subjb = Cells(cell.Row, "C").Value

then later on use them as follows:
With OutMail
    .To = ato
    .Cc = acc
    .Subject = Subja & ", " & Subjb & ", Expiring Locks - " & Date
    .Body = "Sample Email"
    .Send
End With
