Facebook: We want our fans back (Announcement)
Shanghaiist recently reached 20,000 fans on our Facebook page (as of writing we have 20,402). That's 20,000 people who have told Facebook that they want to see our posts in their news feed, and yet, because of a new algorithm designed precisely to bleed small time publishers and blogs for money they don't have, our posts reach barely 10% of our total fans.
Dangerous Minds has the full story (and provided the excellent graphic you see at the top of this post):
At Dangerous Minds, we post anywhere from 10 to 16 items per day, fewer on the weekends. To reach 100% of of our 50k+ Facebook fans they'd charge us $200 per post. That would cost us between $2000 and $3200 per day – but let's go with the lower, easier to multiply number. We post seven days a week, that would be about $14,000 per week, $56,000 per month; a grand total of $672,000 for what we got for free before Facebook started turning the traffic spigot down in Spring of this year – wouldn't you know it – right around the time of their badly managed IPO.
While Facebook is of course entitled to do this, it's their platform after all, forcing publishers to pay for access to their own users is approaching levels of monopolistic control that anti-trust laws are designed for. That Facebook has introduced this system without properly explaining it to its users (who, it bears repeating, told Facebook that they wanted to see our – or other page's – stories) is underhanded and conniving.
Xeni Jardin at Boing Boing:
Before you get too smug, remember there's nothing stopping other social networks or sharing services from doing exactly the same thing. It's never a good idea to depend on a single third-party platform to amplify your content, but that's what so many small online publishing businesses are stuck doing these days. Still, none of the major ones have behaved as egregiously and onerously as Facebook, and IMO, DM's absolutely right to call them out.
Social media is not a truly free market, people cannot move across platforms at will because for a platform to be effective it needs a mass of users, and walled gardens like Facebook do their best to ensure that their users aren't able to communicate easily with rival services. As publishers we can't not engage with our audience through Facebook, the potential benefit is too great, but that does not mean we cannot complain when Facebook abuses its power and exploits this benefit.

Growing up, I only knew green beans as the super tender Southern style recipe with bacon and onions. So the first time I had green beans prepared lightly steamed, I thought someone had really screwed up! They were crunchy!
Admittedly, I've grown to love them both ways. French style haricot verts make frequent appearances on our weeknight table because I can steam them in the microwave and they're a light, delicious, easy side. But that doesn't mean I don't love the green beans from my childhood.
Lightly spray the crock of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Add the beans, chicken broth, onion, salt, pepper, and about 1/2 of the bacon. Cover and cook on high for 4 to 6 hours or low to 6 to 8 - or until the beans are tender to your liking. Stir the beans a couple times during cooking. Serve topped with the remaining bacon pieces.
Must. Try. This! Hubby and I love green beans with bacon and onions–just never made them in the crockpot before. Thank you!
Could I use home canned green beans? I did about 30 qts this summer and normally just reheat them briefly on the stove top. I wonder if they'd be too mushed reheating in the slow cooker since they've already been processed. What do you think?
You could, I'd just cut the cook time was back to avoid them being overcooked.
No. Canned green beans are precooked and this would torture both you and that poor green bean. Just mix and warm up.
Growing up north with a German Aunt this is the way we always ate green beans except for the splash of vinegar prior to serving. Now that balsamic is so popular I always have different flavors so I try various ones instead of just apple cider vinegar. All time favorite is an orange balsamic. Try it and taste the wonderful difference this makes.
That sounds great! Thanks for sharing, Margi!
We are hosting our first Thanksgiving and I'm excited to try your recipe! If I wanted to make 4 lbs. of green beans, how much additional time would you recommend cooking them for? Thank you!
Hi Bethany! The cook time should be about the same. I don't see any need for additional time. Y'all enjoy!
Can I use canned green beans?
You can, but the cook time won't be as long. Maybe just an hour or two.
Do the can beans need to be drained first?
If I wanted to make 4lbs green beans should I use the portions for every other ingredient also?
I would double everything exactly.
Do you cook the bacon before adding to the crockpot?
The bacon should be precooked bacon.
I would, but 1 can would probably be enough.
This recipe was excellent. I used 2 tsp of salt and 2 pounds of frozen green beans that I thawed by rinsing and draining. Thank you! This saved me so much effort and stove top space.
I made this with 1 variation. I used about 1/4 cup bacon and 2-3 Tbsp of butter. Still had the smokey bacon flavor and luxurious mouthfeel with the butter. None left and we started calling butter "Vitamin B"! Lol great recipe!
So glad they turned out great for you!
I've cooked my slow beans with ham hocks, for six to eight hrs.
Just in case a cook did not know that the real bacon pieces in the recipe, are pre cooked , I think you need to say cook them until done before adding to beans, unless you bought precooked.. I think it would be easy for a novice cook, or one living in a different country to think real bacon pieces were just packages of raw bacon. Otherwise very nice recipe.

The Caribou Inuit, also known as Kivallirmiut, live in the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut, which consists of the portion of the mainland to the west of Hudson Bay.
Before Nunavut became a territory on 1 April 1999, the Kivalliq Region was known as Keewatin Region, Northwest Territories.
The name Caribou Inuit stemmed from Europeans who took part in the Fifth Danish Thule Expedition (1921–24) and observed that the Kivallirmiut relied on caribou for food, clothing and shelter.
The early history of the Kivallirmiut is unclear. While some anthropologists such as Birket-Smith (1929), Rasmussen (1930) and Csonka (1995) argue that the Kivallirmiut originated from an early Inuit culture present in North America and Greenland, others such as Mathiassen (1927) believe that they descend from the Thule.
These initial studies by anthropologists during the 1920s saw the Kivallirmiut as a remnant of an ancient way of life that existed before most Inuit groups descended to the coasts and became marine hunters.
This view was based on their unique adaptation to the interior, and on the character of their Aboriginal material culture.
A third theory, upheld by Taylor (1972) and Burch (1978), suggests that the Kivallirmiut's ancestors are a subgroup of Inuinnait (Copper Inuit) who traversed the Arctic coast in the 1600s.
Historically, the traditional social organization of the Caribou Inuit was based on patriarchal family relationships and partnerships. These social units frequently moved from one regional group to another.
As a means of preserving culture, singing and the telling of personal and cultural histories figured prominently in the often-held feasts and activities that took place in the society.
There is limited information regarding the traditional material culture of the Caribou Inuit as a result of the fact that by the time they were studied by anthropologists, they had used and relied upon European technology for over a century.
The use of oral history and traditional knowledge provided by Inuit groups and elders helps to clarify their unique perspectives on pre-European modes of life.
Traditional seasonal activities involved primarily fishing and hunting caribou during the spring and fall migrations. During the fall hunt, populations gathered at a few good hunting spots to replenish their food supplies for winter.
Caribou skins were used to make clothes and containers, as well as tents during the summer months and snowhouses during the winter. Likewise, caribou bones were used to make tools.
Historically, Kivallirmiut differed from other Inuit in their dependence on inland resources, making only occasional visits to the coast to obtain sea mammal products either through hunting or by trading with coastal Inuit.
Although contact with non-Inuit traders and explorers has been recorded as early as 1612, regular trade only began in 1718, with a trading vessel of the Hudson's Bay Company in what was to become Churchill, Manitoba.
For the next two centuries, the Hudson Bay Company remained a major source of contact for the Caribou Inuit. However, they were also contacted by whalers, missionaries and explorers.
Trading with the Europeans provided the Caribou Inuit with firearms that allowed them to hunt caribou more efficiently. In order to follow the caribou and to trade furs with the Europeans, the Kivallirmiut travelled further into the interior.
This practice, in combination with European diseases and the increasing scarcity of the caribou, nearly decimated the Kivallirmiut population in the early 20th century.
Some estimates suggest that from 1915 to about 1924, a severe famine killed nearly two thirds of the population. Turning to the waged economy and/or trapping (often for fox fur), the Caribou Inuit became increasingly dependent on European trade.
As a result of the lack of available food sources, the federal government began an Arctic relocation project in the 1950s that forced the Kivallirmiut to abandon their small camps and snowhouses to live in houses built for them in the villages of Chesterfield Inlet, Arviat, Eskimo Point (now Arviat), Rankin Inlet, Baker Lake and Whale Cove.
Many Inuit believe that the real reason for the relocations was to populate, and thereby claim, areas of the Arctic for Canada.
Communities were separated in the process, and many Inuit died during these relocations.
Today, the Caribou Inuit consist of a series of five independent inland groups: Qairnirmiut, Harvaqtuurmiut, Hauniqtuurmiut, Paallirmiut and Ahiarmiu.
These bands live along the western shores of Hudson Bay in the villages of Chesterfield Inlet, Rankin Inlet, Whale Cove, Eskimo Point (now Arviat) and Baker Lake.
Although traditional forms of hunting have largely been replaced by snowmobiles and modern weaponry, hunting caribou and fishing remain an important part of the economy.
Although various dialects of Inuktitut are spoken in the society, they all stem from the Inuit-Inupiaq language.
Based on recent estimates, the Caribou Inuit today number about 3,000.
The Caribou Inuit have expressed concern about a uranium project located 80 km west of Baker Lake. Community members fear the possible negative socioeconomic impacts that the mine will have on the local population.
Hunters have also raised concern that the mine might disturb caribou migration. Although speculation about the mine is ongoing, the Caribou Inuit and the Dene in Saskatchewan continue to oppose the uranium project.

However, getting access to the right technologies and skills is a primary obstacle for many firms[2].
"We're pleased to be named in the Gartner report which makes a compelling business case for adopting real-time systems to drive greater business value," says Kathy Schneider, Chief Marketing Officer at KX. "We're seeing organizations in sectors as diverse as financial services, automotive, telecommunications, energy and hi-tech manufacturing implement streaming data technologies to drive real time decision-making for greater operational efficiency and competitive differentiation."
According to Gartner, by 2022 most business systems will feature real-time data capabilities[3] while the combined license revenue for the four major categories of event streaming software will grow at 14% to 24% annually through 2025.[4]
KX is a leading technology for real-time data analytics and decision intelligence. Built on the kdb+ time-series database, KX is a high-performance, in-memory computing, streaming analytics and operational intelligence platform for high-volume, data-intensive analytics and applications across multiple industries.

The Hairfarmers
Here is a post from the iconic music industry insider and blogger Bob Lefsetz after he caught one of our shows at Merlin's in March of 2019.
The only people who know how to party harder than Canadians are Australians.
Greetings from Whistler, Canada. Where your money goes far and the hills are long. And from the moment I got here, Andy has told me I need to see the Hair Farmers.
You know we insiders, we can go hear live music every night of the week. Name talent. Do we really want to see a cover band?
But I did. And it was the best music experience I've had in quite a while.
It's been warm here. But you can still ski to the bottom. Freezing level is 1900 meters, i.e. two-thirds of the way up the hill. The glacier is still winter, but the rest of the mountain is spring.
The glacier... The Horstman t-bar has been closed all year because the glacier is shrinking and moving. They couldn't open it if the footings hadn't moved anyway, the top is now too steep. Climate change... Either you believe in it or you don't. But we see evidence of it everywhere. Did you read about the record temperatures in Alaska? It was 70!
And Canada is a foreign country, but it's kinda like the U.S., so it's disorienting. You feel like you're home and then they order Kohanee beer. Huh? I remember when it was cool to drink Olympia, the other water beer besides Coors. But Olympia and its white cans with yellow accents disappeared, kinda like Fudgetown cookies and everything else you used to love.
And Canadians have no airs. You feel it. No one's boasting. Sure, there's money in Whistler, but you just don't see it the way you do in Aspen or Vail.
And it's international. Not only visitors, but locals. Hard to imagine the racism we have in the U.S. existing in Canada. Supposedly Toronto has more ethnicities than any other city in the world. And Asian and South Asian people are de rigueur. If you're racist, Canada is not the place for you.
And Andy and I spent the day skiing with Marcel and his family. Marcel is 77. But he's a ski instructor and can beat just about anybody down the mountain.
And he loves music! He was testifying about J Lo at the Grammys, how he recorded the performance to watch over and over again. I don't think J Lo can sing, but it turned out Marcel was enamored of the dancers! He's a fan of Lady Gaga. They showed me video of him dancing at her show in Vancouver that he went to for his 75th. He pops, he locks, but he doesn't moonwalk since "Leaving Neverland."
But I didn't know all this when we were skiing. At light speed.
We hiked up to the glacier, it's eerie.
But the best run of the day was Springboard, under the new gondola, it was long with a consistent pitch and the snow was like Cream of Wheat, it was delectable.
And then Marcel said we had to get down to Merlin's, to get a seat, to see the Hair Farmers!
So we raced down, and it being Canada, they sell cans of beer at the entrance. And we couldn't get a seat anyway, because everybody was there to see the Hair Farmers!
Now what you get is a bearded husky guy with a high voice playing conga drums and a bearded lanky guy strumming a Takamine who does the harmonies, but it sounded like a full band.
And when we got there, they were playing "Crazy On You." You know, the Heart song.
And every song I knew by heart, and seemingly everybody else did too.
They led us in a singalong of Dobie Gray's "Drift Away." And Canadians are not shy, everybody was standing, with their arms in the air, testifying.
And then Marcel got up on stage and started popping and locking and posing and...he was the only one up there, and everybody was paying attention, and he LOVED IT!
He ended up singling out young women in the audience to dance with. He'd stride up to their stool, dance in front of them, and they'd get up and join him.
And they're playing "Night Moves." And "Tiny Dancer." And the only song they played from the last thirty years was "Shallow." Oh, that's right, they played a version of Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever...," but it seemed more parody than truth.
And then they said they were gonna play "Highway To Hell," but they didn't. But they did play "Heartbreaker."
And they had the name that tune section of the program. Someone called "Back In Black" in one chord.
And I'm standing there thinking this is the last music all of us knew, before the world fractured. Classic rock is all that's classic, other than Motown. They played the riff of "Day Tripper" and everybody knew it.
And they even went a bit deeper, playing a non-bar track, "Sultans of Swing." And you're standing there, singing along with every line, and you feel part of the group, which is rare in this splintered internet world.
And then to the background of "Iko Iko," they had a limbo contest. I haven't seen that since the sixties. And this really tall girl almost won, I don't know how she did it.
And all nationalities participated and nothing was famous but the songs. The Hair Farmers were having more fun performing them than those who wrote them.
They did an amped-up version of Weezer's cover of Toto's "Africa."
And of course they played "Don't Stop Believin'"... And I'm thinking "The Sopranos" ended in 2009, can you believe it?
But the music remains.
And people are grooving in ski boots. Old and young. No one was boasting about their billions, there was no pecking order, you were either inside or you weren't, the music was leveling the room, it was the great equalizer.
And it's so strange. What happened to today's music? The youth like it, the media tells us it matters, but classic rock still rules.
And then, as if we were in Fenway Park, the duo went into "Sweet Caroline."
And we're all standing, with our arms in the air, singing along with the chorus and I'm wondering, are they gonna do the refrain?
And then, on cue, a great segment of the assembled multitude sang with all their might, for emphasis...
SO GOOD, SO GOOD, SO GOOD!!
And it was.

Here's a link to a Vogue article about Whistler that The Hairfarmers are mentioned in:
http://www.vogue.com/article/canada-vacation-ski-guide-whistler-british-columbia
"For a true local experience, head directly to Dusty's Backside in Creekside Base or Merlin's at the bottom of Blackcomb. Better yet, time your visit to the former on Friday or the latter on Saturday to watch hometown heroes The Hairfarmers play. Buy your tablemates a round or two of beers and, with any luck, you'll end up with a personal ski guide by morning. Canadians are friendly."

The Hairfarmers sweep both "Best Band" and "Best Live Act" categories in the Pique News Magazine's "Best of Whistler" readers survey.
Best Band
This should come as no surprise. The Hairfarmers have been voted Whistler's favourite band for years running and they continued their stronghold on the title in 2012. "Our fans love to have fun," says Doug "Guitar Doug" Craig, one half of the beloved duo. "They are interesting people and we are truly blessed for having such a diverse crowd."
The hardworking pair can be spotted gigging around town regularly, sharing their take on a variety of covers and offering up some of their rockin' originals too. "I'm very proud to be in this band and, mostly, being a part of this amazing place. Whistler is great town."
Best Live Act
Live music is at the heart of a great night out. It sets the mood, rouses listeners to their feet and provides the soundtrack for a party.
The Hairfarmers swept the Best Live Musician category for their epic and frequent performances. But the real secret behind their win: loving their job.
"You have to love playing live, the music, the performing, the people — all of it— and that will come through in your performance," says Greg "Grateful Greg" Reamsbottom. "(Our fans) continued support really means a lot, and we'll keep playing our butts off for them until we drop. We couldn't do it without you!"
Pique News Magazine Sept 13th 2012
The Hairfarmers find new inspiration...at Burning Man
Whistler's favourite duo talk Burners, bar brawls and "Brown-Eyed Girl"
It took longer than it probably should have, but that's often how it happens with trips to Burning Man. But, as they say, it's better late than never.
That's right, Whistler: The Hairfarmers are Burners — finally and officially.
Greg "Grateful Greg" Reamsbottom and Doug "Guitar Doug" Craig, the newly converted, are sitting at the Dusty's patio having just returned home from their first trip to Burning Man. They were hired to play for three nights at a private camp and, whilst being "attacked by the wind," they played. They played with bandanas over their faces to filter out the playa dust. The dust would pool in their guitar frets every time they'd strike a chord, clouds of dust would pillow out like plumes of baby powder. They had Martians in a chorus line dancing side to side.
It was, as Craig says, like something out of Frank Zappa's most fertile imaginative moment.
"At one point, Greg was actually spitting dust out of his harmonica. You could see the notes. And every time we hit a big note, a tuft of playa dust would come flying out of the monitor. It was surreal," he says.
"It was almost like a farce," Reamsbottom adds.
Says Craig: "It was like a cartoon."
Adds Reamsbottom: "It's like, 'there's no way this is happening. It's too stupid.' But it was so stupid it was beautiful."
That pretty much sums up The Hairfarmers' 13-year career, as well. Theirs has been one absurdity after another: They've inspired barroom brawls and widespread outbreaks of public nudity in the same night. In the early 2000s, there would be lines around Merlin's hoping to catch them on their now-legendary Payday Fridays. Once, in Creston, the attorney-general flew via helicopter to shut their gig down.
These are the same Hairfarmers that have been voted Whistler's favourite band for the past 12 years. It's something of a rockstar reality for a pair of dudes that play other people's songs for a living — an irony that Grateful Greg and Guitar Doug are well aware of.
"Being an après ski band, it's not serious business at all," Reamsbottom says. "People are there in Whistler in general to have a good time, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel for them. You just have to spin it a little faster. And they get funny. They'll join the band in a lot of ways."
The Burning Man gig was just one of several hired out-of-town gigs this year. They've been hired for a whole lot of these recently. They've been flown to Sydney, Hong Kong and London. They've played all over the U.S. and Canada, completely unsolicited.
"That's one of the great things about being in one of the go-to bands in Whistler is the whole world comes here," Reamsbottom says. "It puts you in front of an audience that very few musicians would get otherwise. It's the bubble. It's the Whistler bubble and, love it or hate it, a lot of people come here. If they have the time of their life, they want to take it to where they are."
He adds, "They want to recapture what they experienced when they were here, in that bar, sculling pints, eating nachos, powder stuck in their nose — not the bad kind, the kind from the ski hill — and they're like, 'Hey, you know, why can't we have that much fun at home?' So they bring us to their home."
"It's a surrogate," Craig says. "We're actually bringing that vibe to them, as a temporary measure."
And what, exactly, are the corner stones of that vibe? As Craig says, there "are four songs — four wheels to this insane caravan:", "Brown Eyed Girl," "Sweet Home Alabama," "Margaritaville," and "Sweet Caroline." Throw in some Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones and other hippie stoner jams and that's what the Hairfarmers have been selling.
"You might sound like the album and have the perfect cadence, but unless you feel it and love the song, you haven't got a hope in hell for that audience to believe in you," Craig says.
Reamsbottom adds, "Maybe that's why we've been Whistler's favourite band for so many years, it's because we actually love the music that we play. We love playing music."
They met in 1998, while playing in separate bands. Craig's Whistler-based Wild Dogs of Wedgemont and Reamsbottom's Vancouver-based Greg and Greg were hired to "play a wedding in the bush." Neither band knew that the other was hired to play, which Reamsbottom says could have been a disaster in the making.
"It's almost like sticking two dogs who haven't been neutered in a room," he says. "You get two bands at the same gig, and you don't know the other one is coming, it's like" — mocks two dogs barking at each other — "but they knew that we would get together, and they knew that we would jam all night long."
And they did. They stayed in touch afterward, with Craig inviting Reamsbottom to play a St. Paddy's Day show at the Dubh Linn Gate. The following year, Reamsbottom met a Whistler girl at a festival in Oregon and he decided to sell his trucking business in the city and follow her up there. As soon as he landed, he called Doug up, looking to play.
By the middle of the 1999/2000 winter season, they had a line of people around Merlin's wanting to come see them play.
"They were un-believable!" Craig says of those early shows. "I really thought that the place would get burnt to the ground or the cops would shut us down and we would not be able to play as a band."
"It wasn't the beer prices, it wasn't the particular genre of people, but it was the mix of energy that winter that really put us in everybody's minds," Reamsbottom says.
But as silly/crazy/wild as those early Payday Friday gigs went, none were quite as surreal as their Friday night at Burning Man. Expect to find a freshly inspired Hairfamer or two playing 'round town in the coming weeks.
As posted on Gonzo Live: Squamish Live...a review by Dottie Bright
After two jam-packed days of running between the main stages catching the big acts, on Sunday I chose to chill out and catch a well-loved local band, named the Hairfarmers. They have been voted as Whistler's best band for the last decade.
Guitar Doug and Grateful Greg have spent over 13 years performing together and close to 300 shows a year. I caught their show at the beer gardens and beheld their impressive catalogue of around 3,000 songs, covering anything from country, to rock, to bluegrass, to reggae and pretty much any request a fan could toss out there.
Without a stage full of gear and flashy clothes, they impressed with organic sounds, great vocals, smooth guitar and killer congas. Their friendly smiles and interaction with fans kept everyone dancing despite a small dust storm brewing all around.
Playing between acts appearing on the big stages is not easy and timing is key. They finished an impressive version of Led Zeppelin's Ramble On, which bled into Kathleen Kennedy's take to the main stage. Fans continued to dance and insisted they turn it up and of course they happily obliged. I want these guys for my next bash!

Aprés wouldn't be Aprés without them
By Todd Lawson
More words have been written about the Hairfarmers than any other band in the history of this town. But there's a reason for that. Basically, without the Hairfarmers, legendary dancing-in-your-ski-boots, hot-chicks-peeling-their-tops-off aprés sessions wouldn't be so legendary. And for a ski-town like Whistler, there's nothing quite like a crazy aprés session at the end of an epic day on the mountain with your friends. Grateful Greg and Guitar Doug first played together at a wedding on Birkenhead Lake in the summer of 1999, and have been providing Whistler with full-on, feelgood parties ever since.
"It's been a long, strange trip that's gone by really fast," says the ridiculously talented Grateful Greg. "We make a living helping people behave like maniacs...it's crazy!"
As far as mountain folk are concerned, the Hairfarmers talk the talk and walk the walk as true locals. They both ski like fiends in the winter, and bomb around in their Harleys come summertime.
"The common denominator is the mountains," says the equally ridiculously-talented Guitar Doug. "We're lucky man. We get caught in this wicked vortex of positive energy when everyone comes off the mountain. We're recipients of all that. It's a pretty damn good feeling."
The bearded buddies know thousands of tunes off the top of their heads, and have been known to play anything from Annie Lennox to The Doors at the request of their fans, lovingly referred to as the 'Farmhands.'
"We've evolved with our audience," says Guitar Doug. "They've definitely gotten crazier over the years, and we're not gaining any sanity." Grateful Greg concurs. "Most people come here to have a good time, so we're always playing to happy people, which makes our job a lot easier."
Their audience consists of a mixed bag of revellers from all over the world, who usually end up forgetting their skis in the rack outside because they're too wasted to remember that they're still in ski boots. And then there are the loyal locals, who keep coming back show after show, year after year.
"The locals make such a wicked atmosphere to play in," says Greg. "It wouldn't be half as good without them. Our regular fans are the bomb. All hail the Farmhands."
During the Olympics, The Hairfarmers will be playing two shows a day, everyday. To get down and shake it like you should, head to Merlin's and the GLC to catch the bearded boys in action. Just remember your skis outside.

Discussion in 'Show Off Arena' started by kane, Jan 1, 2014.
Just thought I'd re-post my vids for later reference!
Looks great Kane, well done!
Just goes to show, IMO, most groups take our use of their songs as a flattering compliment.
one of the guys from Birds of Tokyo, who had heard that we'd used one of their songs for our lights.
Good Job Kane, great story too.
The BOT visit, must of been a thrill. Nice show to boot!
Im glad they didn't take your spirit this year! Did they catch the idiots whom tried to ruin your holiday spirit? What ever became of that?
I loved your shows, awesome job!
Nah, they didn't catch them - unless someone was able to recognise them and report them, it was always going to be a long shot. Did get a lot of exposure on the news (evening news for all commercial networks, plus the paper and a few of the radio stations), and also 40,000+ hits on facebook of the video footage, but no luck.. Not the end of the world though - and can't exactly expect the police to waste too much resources on it!
The three main things that were damaged were the tree, the candy canes and one of the leaping arches. The candy canes weren't too badly damaged, so I was able to get them presentable with some white cable ties - will probably replace a couple of the fronts for 2014.
When the replacement structure came back, was able to get the tree back up and running the next day, so all good!
Oh, and here's a photo of me with Glenn from Birds of Tokyo - excuse the stupid grin on my face, you can't half see I was a bit surprised to get the visit!
And had another chance meeting with another of the artists that I used - Asta. She was stoked that I'd used the song for the lights (she posted my video on her own facebook page), so when I saw her play at Southbound festival yesterday, I couldn't turn down the chance to get a photo with her and say hello.. I did introduce myself as the crazy Christmas lights guy, which made it easy for her to work it out!
Anyway how did the traffic go with so much exposure?
That's awesome you received such kind help from so many.... Nice pics with the folks from a band you seq'd a song to! What an awesome experience!
Hahah, yeah - BoT posted a video of my lights to their facebook page (one of their friends had sent them a video from his phone), and a bunch of the fans suggested a surprise gig.. That would have been great! Most of the band was back in Sydney though where they now live (they're from Perth originally).
Traffic was certainly pretty busy, but not too crazy.. Given we have the bushland across the road, there's plenty of verge that people can pull up on, so it worked well.. Be interesting to see how much we raise this year though!
I really like your display. Extremely neat and a great use of your house and space.
Good to see you smiling after a bad start to the season.


My Mother's House is the most moving poem I've ever played. It's the work of poet Victoria Bennett, inspired by her experience caring for her terminally-ill mother, and reliving some of the shared memories in her home.
As I explored it, the poem brought back my recent memories of helping my own mother clear out my late grandfather's house, remembering and sometimes learning for the first time about different aspects of his life.
This representation of Victoria Bennett's poem, "My Mother's House," using Minecraft strikes an incredible chord that I also recommend for your viewing. Its novel heart-touch, delivered so quietly with a reverence of artistic beauty via this phenomenal digital format, interprets grief and triggers connections of experiences around death, a sure passage of every life.
As an educator, I definitely also recognize ways of teaching with Minecraft, as suggested by blogger Stuart Dredge of The Guardian (Tuesday, August 11, 2015) and so… the article accompanying the video is a MUST READ! Using a tool like this to combine stories with screen time showcases a best and inclusive practice. When shared through relationships in another form of play, it can engage and teach.

Sun Ray 2FS
Anne Chen
Building on its new relationship with Microsoft, Sun has licensed Microsofts RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), a new feature that allows for direct connection to a Windows Terminal Server. This means the Sun Ray 2FS will allow IT managers to present a Windows, Sun Solaris or Linux desktop environment to end users, taking advantage of terminal services to virtualize a Windows session.
Click here to read the full review of the Sun Ray 2FS.
Released on May 8 for $499, the Sun Ray 2FS packs features such as a built-in dual-head connection and a fiber-optic network port for organizations that want to avoid Ethernet. Combined with an operating system such as Trusted Solaris, the Sun Ray 2FS brings plenty to the table for security-conscious environments.
The Sun Ray 2FS system we tested also had an integrated Java smart-card slot, three USB 2.0 ports, a printer port and an Ethernet port.
/zimages/4/134223.jpg
Unlike the HP Compaq t5720 thin client, the Sun Ray 2FS has no local operating system and no option to store data of any kind on the unit. The only thing the Sun Ray has is about 300KB of firmware thats used to help control the unit.
IT managers hoping to reduce management costs should consider the Sun Ray thin-client solution. Because there are no moving parts, the management of these units is greatly simplified: There is no local operating system management, no local memory upgrades and no client application management.
eWeek Labs testbed consisted of two Sun Ray 2FS thin-client units attached to a Sun Fire V240 server running Sun Solaris via a NetGear ProSafe 5 Port Gigabit Desktop Switch. Also part of the testbed was an HP xw4300 Workstation with Windows Terminal Services running, to test the capability of the Sun Ray 2FS to virtualize a Windows desktop.
While performance obviously will depend on your network and on how many clients are accessing the Sun Ray server concurrently, we found performance with the Sun Ray 2FS to be quite good.
/zimages/4/28571.gifClick here to read a review of the HP Compaq t5720 thin client.
When virtualizing the Windows desktop, there is no way to get into the Solaris environment beneath it-a nice transition for end users used to working on Windows desktops.
Meanwhile, Apple Computers Boot Camp has nothing on the Sun Ray solution: Whereas you have to shut down Apples Mac OS X operating system and restart to access Windows with Boot Camp, users familiar with both Unix-based and Windows desktops can switch easily among operating systems and applications with the Sun Ray 2FS.
We used two Sun Ray 2FS units to test the thin-client platforms "hot desking" capability, which allows a user to pull the smart card from one thin client, put it in another thin client and get redirected to the same session he or she was working in before the switch was made.
This handy feature will enable, for example, physicians to go easily and securely from one system to another within a hospital and continue their work, as the Sun Ray handled hot-desking tasks like a champ during our tests.
The Sun Ray has multifactor authentication: In addition to the smart card, the thin client also requires a user name and password to log on. And because there is no hard drive, users cannot save data to the thin client, eliminating physical security issues.
The Sun Ray 2FS, which measures 1.09 by 8.46 inches without its stand, is the only thin client on the market with built-in dual-head connectors. The HP Compaq t5720 that we also looked at, for example, requires the purchase of a dual-head card.
The dual-display capability offers 1,920-by-1,200-pixel native resolution at 24-bit color on both monitors and is a welcome feature for users such as stock brokers and graphics designers who need the additional screen real estate. (For a case study on how the Defense Intelligence Agency is using the dual-display capability, see Page 44.)
One area in which the Sun Ray 2FS really impresses is power consumption. Our unit drew only 7.86 watts. In contrast, the HP Compaq t5720 drew 30 watts, and the average PC draws as much as 220 watts.

Nassau UnAffected By DORIAN: Still Open For Business
by designandfashionmagazine September 12, 2019 September 12, 2019
While a number of Caribbean destinations struggle, resorts in the Bahamas are bouncing back from a tough period, attracting vacationers, gamblers and sun worshipers.
Hotel occupancy in the Bahamas in the first half of 2019 was up 19% from a year earlier, according to hotel-data firm STR. Revenue per available room, a popular industry metric, was up 27% to $231. Nearby destinations' rates have fallen or stayed flat.
In part, the strong Bahamas numbers reflect the emergence of the $4.2 billion, 2,300-room Baha Mar resort and casino, which officially opened last year after falling more than two years behind schedule and changing ownership.
The Bahamas may also be gaining from misfortunes elsewhere in the region, hotel analysts say. A plague of unsightly, smelly seaweed has hurt business at Cancún and other Mexican resorts. Political turmoil has discouraged tourism in Puerto Rico, while the mysterious deaths of several American tourists in the past year have slowed traffic to the Dominican Republic.
"The Bahamas should be a natural beneficiary," said Rick Newton, an analyst at Resort Capital Advisors.
Also helping the Bahamas turnaround, analysts say, is an increase in air traffic. Nearly four dozen flights land in the capital, Nassau, daily, thanks in large part to deals between resorts and airlines.
And with Baha Mar, the Bahamas is attracting more luxury travelers. The resort's three hotels include a Grand Hyatt, an SLS and a Rosewood that offer some suites going for more than $1,000 a night.
Guests can visit the resort's 40 restaurants and lounges, a casino with more than 1,000 slot machines, an 18-hole golf course and a flamingo-habitat exhibit.
"It's been a lot more sophisticated," said Jack Ezon, founder of travel agency Embark, referring to the Bahamas. "I really think Baha Mar's opening signaled that change. It's buzzy, and it's fun—but it's a more elegant fun."
It is a turnaround for the Bahamas from the years when the original developer of Baha Mar struggled to get the project built. From 2015 to 2017, the hotel occupancy rates dropped 14%, and revenue per room dropped 18%, according to STR.
During construction, Baha Mar experienced setbacks, including a change in ownership, a bankruptcy filing and multiple grand-opening postponements. But once it opened, hoteliers say the added room supply and emphasis on luxury shattered the long-held monopoly of the Atlantis as the Bahamas' major resort destination.
"By delivering the service and the product, we've been able to turn it around," said Graeme Davis, the president of Baha Mar. "It's a change in perception of the Bahamas as a luxury destination."
A spokesman for Atlantis said it has drawn a record number of guests this year, unveiled newly designed guest suites and expanded its marine-life programs. The spokesman added that Baha Mar isn't the first luxury resort in the Bahamas, noting that the luxury Cove at Atlantis and the Four Seasons' Ocean Club have been around for years.
China Construction America brought in a fleet of workers from mainland China to build Baha Mar. The group plans to employ Chinese workers again to build a $250 million boutique hotel called Margaritaville, of which it is a partial owner.
The resort, with Jimmy Buffett 's Margaritaville brand as a partner, is slated to open next August. The group says it is confident it can attract guests to its 150-room resort and buyers for the accompanying 126 residences.
"It creates a pretty magical place that rivals Atlantis and Baha Mar," said Philip Jalufka, president and chief executive of Legacy International, the marketing group behind the project. "This brand brings in the firemen and the billionaires."
Rotten, Smelly Algae Plagues Some Mexican Beaches (July 27 He added that the group has plans to build similar resorts nearby. "Replicating that three to five more times is on the horizon," Mr. Jalufka said.
Can the Bahamas resorts continue to grow at the current clip?
"No, I don't think so," Mr. Newton said. Once the recent turmoil in neighboring islands abates and Baha Mar's novelty wears off, he suggested, growth will revert to 3% to 5% a year.

Did you know that aluminum is thought to be more eco-friendly than cast iron or steel? This is due to its ability to be molded into complex shapes and because it can be recovered and recycled easily. And being the most abundant metal on Earth, it's also the most popular material for producing radiators in the UK. In recent years many innovative designs have been produced which use aluminum rather than stainless steel.
Although steel has often been much cheaper and more popular than aluminum, it needs more effort and energy to remove it from the bauxite it's been deposited in. Before steel, cast iron radiators were being produced, but it proved to be not only heavy but also slow to transmit heat and susceptible to casting flaws. In contrast, aluminum radiators are very lightweight, and the lower melting point during its initial processing essentially means less energy is used to make them.
Why Use Aluminium to Make Radiators?
One of the most positive aspects of aluminum is because although it's the most plentiful metal on Earth, aluminum which has already been extracted can be reused. This is in contrast with other raw materials which have to be continually extracted. In addition, you don't have to turn them on for very long before the room temperature rises considerably, so it makes using them perfect for areas of a home that are used infrequently. As a result, radiators made from aluminum will ensure lower gas, electricity and water bills.
And if you need any more reasons to use an aluminum radiator, they're also much easier to transport and install. So when you choose a reputable company such as apolloradiators.co.uk/Category/3/header/3/radiator-ranges, you know you're getting value for money and an energy-saving option. It's also less of a headache to change over to aluminum as opposed to casting iron or steel. In terms of style, they come in a range of shapes, sizes, colors and even futuristic designs so will look good in most rooms of a home. And because they're lightweight, they're easy to install on all kinds of walls, whether they're internal or external.
So the next time you put your drinks can in the recycling bin, remember that it could end up as a part of a brand new radiator!


Thought for the day: The Use of God's Gifts. How much benefit have I received from the beauties of nature, bestowed in such abundance. How they raise me to Him who placed such wonders in this land of exile which is only to last a day.
Dear Little Flower of Carmel, bearing so patiently the disappointments and delays allowed by God, and preserving in the depths of your soul an unchanging peace because you sought only God's will, ask for me complete conformity to that adorable Will in all the trials and disappointments of life. If the favors I am asking during this Novena are pleasing to God, obtain them for me. If not, it is true I shall feel the refusal keenly, but I too wish only God's Will, and pray in the words you used, that I "may ever be perfectly fulfilled in me."
Thought for the day: Abandonment to God. I fear only one thing---to keep my own will; take it, my God, for I choose all that You choose.
I can demand nothing with fervor, except the perfect accomplishment of God's will in my soul.

Michaels, Stern, and Co. was a Rochester-based manufacturer of men's tailored suits and apparel.  The company was founded in 1849 by Henry Michaels (1822–1894).  After several name changes and changes in partnership, the company became known as Michaels-Stern & Co. when Henry Michael's son-in-law Morley A. Stern joined as a partner in 1877.  The company was liquidated in 1977.

The company was one of several Rochester-based men's clothing companies.  Some of the other companies included Fashion Park, Inc, Superba Cravats, and Hickey Freeman.  Today, only Hickey Freeman remains of the original Rochester-based men's clothing companies, although Hickey Freeman is now owned by Grano Retail Investments Inc

In 1893, a seven-story company building was erected.  Beginning around 1984, while under bankruptcy protection, the Michaels–Stern Building was rented to tenants, including "artists, photographers, rock groups, dance studios, fencing and karate clubs".  The Lofts at Michaels/Stern are currently rented as residential apartments.

Russia's military reforms respond to Nato's expansion, Ukraine - chief
January 25 ------ Russia's new military reforms respond to possible Nato expansion and the use of Kyiv by the "collective West" to wage a hybrid war against Russia, the newly appointed general in charge of Russia's military operations in Ukraine said.
Valery Gerasimov, in his first public comments since his Jan. 11 appointment to the role, admitted also to problems with the mobilization of troops, after public criticism forced President Vladimir Putin to reprimand the military. The military reforms, announced mid-January, have been approved by Putin and can be adjusted to respond to threats to Russia's security, Gerasimov told the news website Argumenty i Fakty in remarks published recently.
"Today, such threats include the aspirations of the North Atlantic Alliance to expand to Finland and Sweden, as well as the use of Ukraine as a tool for waging a hybrid war against our country," said Gerasimov, who is also the chief of Russia's military general staff. Finland and Sweden applied last year to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization after Russia invaded Ukraine. Under Moscow's new military plan, an army corps will be added to Karelia in Russia's north, which borders with Finland. The reforms also call for two additional military districts, Moscow and Leningrad, which existed before they were merged in 2010 to be part of the Western Military District.
In Ukraine, Russia will add three motorized rifle divisions as part of combined arms formations in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, parts of which Moscow claims it annexed in September. "The main goal of this work is to ensure guaranteed protection of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country," Gerasimov said. Gerasimov added that modern Russia has never seen such "intensity of military hostilities", forcing it to carry out offensive operations to stabilize the situation. "Our country and its armed forces are today acting against the entire collective West," Gerasimov said.
Gerasimov and the leadership of the defense ministry have faced sharp criticism for multiple setbacks on the battlefield and Moscow's failure to secure victory in a campaign the Kremlin had expected to take just a short time. The country's mobilization of some 300,000 additional personnel in the fall proceeded chaotically.
"The system of mobilization training in our country was not fully adapted to the new modern economic relations," Gerasimov said. "So I had to fix everything on the go."

The summer is a great time to be a chef because of the incredible foods that are in season. I happen to love the foods that are in season in the summer and it's fun creating dishes with these ingredients. Tomatoes, Bell Peppers, Cucumbers, Garlic, Corn, Limes, and Avocados are all in season in the hot summer months (and all happen to work wonderfully with Mexican Cuisine)….do you see where I am going with this….
I was craving a salad yesterday, which I must admit, happens about as frequently as a lunar eclipse… so I decided to jump on the salad bandwagon before my fleeting desire for greenery disappeared. I used to always order this amazing Mexican Chicken Salad when I lived Downtown by the Seaport in Manhattan, and so that was my inspiration for last night's dinner.
I like when a Salad is 80% toppings and 20% lettuce – so this salad is loaded with all of my favorite Mexican toppings and the most delicious chicken seasoned with chipotle pepper and all spice! You can take or leave any of the ingredients if they're not your favorite and just add more of what you do like.
The Salad Dressing is also a new favorite of mine – it's a riff on a "Green Goddess Dressing" with fresh flavors…. and it truly compliments all the elements of this salad.
I also decided to serve my salad in a homemade tortilla bowl (much like the one I used to get downtown) – only mine is baked, not deep-fried! The instructions for the tortilla bowls are located below the salad recipe!
First make your dressing: In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, add in your mayo, sour cream, garlic cloves, shallot, chives, parsley, and lemon juice. Process until smooth - taste and season with salt and pepper.
For your Tortilla Strips: preheat the oven to 375 degrees and cut 1 large flour tortilla into 1/2" strips. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 6-8 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Now cook your chicken: Turn the oven up to 400 degrees. Place the chicken on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt, pepper, chipotle pepper seasoning, garlic powder and all spice. Bake for 27 minutes - allow it to rest 5 minutes before slicing it into 1/2" thick strips.
To assemble: In a large bowl combine your romaine, tomato, avocado, red bell pepper, radish, corn, cucumber, green onions and red onion. Mix together. Then add your dressing and toss together (*you may not need all the dressing).
Place your salad in a bowl (or a tortilla bowl - **instructions below recipe**) and top with sliced chicken.
- Spray a medium sized bowl with cooking spray and wrap the flour tortilla around it to create a bowl shape. Microwave for 50 seconds. Allow to cool in the microwave for a minute.

Muhammad Ali — Still The Greatest
By VennerRoad, 13th Sep 2016 | Follow this author | RSS Feed
Posted in Wikinut>Celebrities>Personalities
Muhammad Ali who died earlier this year was more than a mere sportsman; he was a man ahead of his time.
Muhammad Ali in London, 1992
I can't really claim to have met The Greatest although I was once in the same room as him. I took this photograph of him (right) when he visited the UK in 1992; the dude in the foreground is my colleague Mark Taha.
Although I was never tempted to take up boxing, I did develop a love for the sport and indeed became quite knowledgable about the history of it, due entirely to Ali, a love affair that was ended abruptly when I saw Herol Graham knocked spark out by Julian Jackson, but that's another story.
My first memory of Ali was when as Cassius Clay he defeated Sonny Liston. I was very young at the time but remember distinctly seeing him with his man pinned on the ropes and throwing perhaps 12 or 15 unanswered punches. I think there was a knock down if not a knockout. Liston was not knocked down in the first fight, of course, and having reviewed it this memory is not from that, so I can only assume that at the time footage of at least one previous Cassius Clay fight was shown.
After the first Liston fight, he changed his name to Muhammad Ali; that and more significantly the reason he did so were regarded as controversial at the time; throughout his life, Ali and controversy were never strangers. The inevitable rematch with Liston was even more controversial than the first fight when the then champion quit on his stool. There has been much talk about Liston going down from a phantom punch, taking a dive, etc, but although Ali was never known as a big hitter, all heavyweights can punch. He had previously scored a first round knockout, in his fourth fight, albeit against a terrible fighter, and went on to score several early stoppages including a third round technical knockout of Cleveland Williams, a fight the referee could easily have stopped earlier.
There was really nothing suspicious about the Liston rematch, it was not as if Ali had come from obscurity, won the world title then disappeared; let us not forget he'd also had a glittering amateur career crowned with an Olympic gold.
I'm fairly certain I don't remember seeing his first fight with Henry Cooper at the time, although I did see the second fight, and at that time footage of the knock down from the first fight would have been played. Ali was a fighting champion, but his career was rudely interrupted by his most controversial stance - his refusal to answer the draft.
Like Elvis Presley a decade before, Ali could have donned an army uniform and flown off to foreign lands where he would undoubtedly have been given a commission as a boxing trainer, sports coach, or something of that nature. There was certainly no risk of him being sent into combat, as he would surely have surmised. He realised though that the war was wrong in principle; as he said famously no Vietcong ever called him nigger.
After his three year layoff during which time he became a cult figure with the anti-war movement, lecturing at universities and more than holding his own against the literati, he was allowed to return to the ring, and lost a close decision to Joe Frazier, a loss he would avenge in both the rematch and the rubber. This was held at Madison Square Garden on March 8, 1971, overnight in the UK. At the time I was a paperboy, and expected him to win, but when I asked another paperboy - who was in my class at school - in what round he had stopped Frazier, he replied simply "Clay lost".
My passion for boxing cooled somewhat after that but it was rekindled a few years later. The thing that impressed me about Ali initially was his arrogance, but it was not the sort of arrogance that makes people detested, rather it was a schoolboyish arrogance that was never to be taken too seriously, even when he was making what were often interpreted as anti-white statements. Ali was not anti-white, of course, it was always clearly the white establishment against which his anger was directed, and not white people per se. He would eventually reveal that his antics were influenced by the wrestler Gorgeous George. Having said that, arrogance is something all professional boxers cultivate consciously, it helps build confidence and motivate training because they all realise they are only ever one punch away from defeat.
Some people have claimed Ali had a low IQ or even an exceptionally low IQ. How this came about I know not, but the idea that intelligence can be distilled into a number is an enormous fallacy. It may have been that he did not excel at for example mathematics or the usual abstract tests that are associated with assessing IQ, but anyone who has heard him speak on subjects other than boxing will surely be disavowed of that notion. He was right about the Vietnam War, and on race issues he had a simple, irrefutable philosophy that left white liberals looking sheepish, as in his classic 1971 interview with Michael Parkinson.
With his claim that "Bluebirds fly with bluebirds", Ali gave the world a simple truth that were it acknowledged today would solve all the world's race problems including the current crisis in Europe and those created by the misnamed civil rights movement in the United States.
In his personal life Ali was far from perfect, he was married four times, and could be uncharitable towards his opponents, but unlike his successor Mike Tyson, he was never at the centre of any genuine scandal, and his humanitarian work has long been recognisedas every bit as significant as his career in the ring and his philosophy. In 1999, Ali was named Sportsman of the Century by the BBC. He was also clearly one of the men of that century, and of this one.

What is the use of double curly braces in html script tag

A: These curly braces are most likely a remnant from code templating. Code templating is where an engine (either on the server or the client) replaces a section of code. You can see some more examples of templating in the Wikipedia article for JavaScript templating.
The other (less likely) reason is that it's a mistake.


Located in the heart of Powys and set amongst the rolling Cambrian Mountains, lies one of Severn Trent's largest and most spectacular reservoirs.
Llyn Clywedog reservoir, situated near Llanidloes, welcomes thousands of visitors each year, so when repairs were needed to its popular scenic trail, the team had to think fast.
John Telford, site supervisor for Severn Trent, said: "The boardwalk on the trail looked like Gogmagog the Giant had walked over it, it really needed fixing up. The problem was, it's located on the other side of the reservoir, so we were looking at having to bring in specialist contractors.
Holding the equivalent of 20,000 Olympic sized swimming pools, the reservoir is also the ideal home for Clywedog Sailing Club. So the Severn Trent team had an idea.
"We contacted the sailing club, and they helped us get the materials over using their boats which meant we could crack on with the repairs ourselves. This quick thinking, and joint effort, meant the path was fixed in just two days," said John.
The Severn Trent reservoir boasts majestic views and offers a wide variety of activities for visitors, including fishing, sailing, walking with plenty of wildlife to spot.
