Don't Shudder
July 9, 2008 / Leave a Comment
Great news today from reunion land, where Shudder To Think will join a growing list of acts banding together to make a little tour. It's not much, but I'll certainly take it. It also doesn't hurt that Boston is one of the few locations in America that the band is scheduled to hit; they'll be playing at Paradise Rock Club on October 11th.
Shudder To Think provided one of the most interesting sounds on the Dischord roster when they joined in the late 80s. Sure, Fugazi was turning all notions of post-hardcore and emo on their heads, but Shudder To Think was an entirely different beast. They were a band that pulled more and more towards the aesthetic elements of psychedelia over time, though their ethos was still intensely grounded in the DIY punk realm. Their earliest work veered through the quick one-two punch of hardcore drumming before opening up to gaping waves of 60s-flavored guitar-work (see "Chocolate" off of Funeral At The Movies).
The band did refine their sound, as seen on 1992's Get Your Goat. Shudder to Think did more than simply re-tread the old aesthetic waters of Revolution Summer emo acts. They took the combination of hardcore and pop on a roller coaster to the clouds; it didn't hurt that frontman Craig Wedren's eerie falsetto became as controlled, textured, and wholly unpredictable as the band's sound. Their work mirrored and even impacted their future touring partners, Sunny Day Real Estate (at least according to the Alternative Press article on the 23 bands, where Shudder To Think is name-checked as being one of the DC bands perpetrating the particular style of emo). It's hard not to see the connections between the two bands. Both made use of intelligently-crafted punk rock, both sought solace in the musical realm of the 60s and 70s, both featured vocalists with unusual singing styles in the realm of punk, and both brought a distinct change in style to the labels they became a part of (although, Sunny Day's work at Sub Pop was more a rejection of by then typical grunge than it was an evolution of the label's aesthetic… then again, Dischord had a fluid aesthetic that lends emo a certain sense of flexibility that exists to this day). Shudder To Think's status as not only a creative, genre-bending band, but a cross-national influence works to establish their importance in the narrative of emo; their eventual connection with Sunny Day is one of many moves that helps to solidify a cross-substantial aesthetic idea of emo, as well as a burgeoning community surrounding emo (touring would become an important part of the Mid Western emo community as many bands that toured with one another shared ideas and friendship through their troubadour spirits).
Shudder To Think would continue to spread the idea of an evolutionary emo sound when they signed to Epic to release the Pony Express Record; they were only one of two Dischord bands to sign to a major label frenzy in the great alternative buyouts in the post-Nevermind music world. But the world wasn't ready for the Pony Express Record (nor was it ready for most of the bands that were signed in the major label buyouts). Hell, emo wasn't really ready either. Shudder To Think always had an odd style, but it got even weirder with their major label debut. In an aesthetic style that prided itself on lyrics that were both ambiguous but contained a sense of personal investment to the band and listener, Shudder provided a great thesis in that flexibility and a great revolution against the concept. Pony Express is lyrically obtuse, it's music strung all over the place. And it's still positively great, though a little rough to get into at parts. If emo means emotional music over punk rock, nothing fits that idea better than the wailing anthem that Wedren lets out against a sea of guitars on the two-plus minute long chorus closing out "X-French Tee Shirt".
The rest of the Shudder To Think tale is all over the map. Wedren battled Hodgkin's Disease while recording their second major label album. And a couple of projects were made under the Shudder To Think name: a soundtrack for the movies First Love, Last Rights (featuring guest vocals from folks such as Jeff Buckley), High Art, and a selection of songs for the glitter-rock inspired film Velvet Goldmine.
Shudder To Think broke up shortly thereafter in 1998. Wedren has been the most visible and successful of the band members since the breakup with a solo career. However, Wedren's solo work is probably best recognized in the guise of three other guys: Michael Showalter, Michael Ian Black, and David Wain. Wedren has been the trio's go-to guy for movies like Wet Hot American Summer (he wrote the song "Wet Hot American Summer" and co-wrote the hilarious track "Higher and Higher"), The Baxter, and The Ten (in which he also played an extra in the chorus of nude dudes).
What will happen with the new Shudder To Think reunion? A new album? Five new albums? Or just a simple tour. Whatever happens, something good is sure to come.

Cheating husband sues mistress for gifted ring after wife learns about affair
The husband gave his mistress $1,000 to buy herself a ring in December 2017
Oct. 15, 2019 11:50 a.m.
What happens when a cheating husband gives his mistress money for a diamond ring?
He doesn't get it back, according to the B.C. Civil Resolution Tribunal.
A case published by the tribunal Thursday laid out a case where a man, identified only as R.T., believed the $1,000 he gave his mistress, A.L.T., for a diamond ring should be returned to him.
Documents said the husband gave his mistress $1,000 to buy herself a ring in December 2017.
According to the mistress, the money was a Christmas gift and she used it to buy a ring for $999.99 and herself paid $120 in tax for a total of $1,199.99.
On March 6, 2019, the mistress said the wife learned of the affair and demanded she return all gifts the husband gave her. The mistress said she sent the wife a cheque for $800 so "his wife could stop bothering her and so she could move on."
The mistress said the wife asked for more money shortly after and submitted a letter to the tribunal where the wife said she was billing the mistress $5,000 for 10 years of labour fixing her car, but that they would take $4,000. The letter alleged the husband had been fixing the mistress' car.
The mistress said that given the wife's behaviour, she cancelled the cheque and told the couple not to deposit it.
Following that, the husband received a text message from the mistress stating: "About the ring it is not $1200 I am the one who paid for the taxes so it is only $1000. That $1000 is nothing I can give it to you right away…"
Tribunal member Sarah Orr said by B.C. laws, the ring qualified as a gift which does not need to be repaid.
"The applicant says he gave her the money, and there is no evidence this was a loan or that the respondent agreed to repay the applicant at the time," Orr wrote.
Orr dismissed the husband's claim.

we have the same situation. We saw that ToDos created in TC Desktop don't contain .png file. The only solution is to create ToDo in TC Web - it works better.

All owners, harborers or keepers of dogs and cats in unincorporated Jefferson County are required to have their inside and outside dogs and cats licensed with the Division of Animal Control, annually or every three years as determined by the type of rabies vaccination the animal has received. The County Animal License is required to be displayed on the dog's collar at all times, even when the animal is indoors.
A rabies vaccination must be administered by a licensed practicing veterinarian, who will issue a Rabies Vaccination Certificate, as proof that animal has a current rabies vaccine. The County Animal License application can be obtained from some area veterinarians or from the Animal Control Center. The application must be completed and submitted to the Animal Control Center, along with the appropriate licensing fee and a copy of the Rabies Vaccination Certificate.
The County Animal License application is also available for printing here.
All owners, harborers, or keepers of all dogs and cats must have their pets vaccinated against rabies with either the one-year vaccination or the three-year vaccination, and this vaccination must be registered with the Division of Animal Control. The anti-rabies vaccine can only be legally administered by a licensed, practicing veterinarian. If the veterinarian issues a metal rabies tag, the rabies vaccination tag must be displayed on the dog or cat's collar at all times, even if the animal is kept indoors.
Jefferson County ordinances prohibit dog and cat owners, harborers or keepers from allowing their animals to run at large. Running at large means the animal is allowed to freely roam, off of the owner, harborer or keeper's property without being under an approved form of physical restraint. County ordinances also require animal owners, harborers or keepers to provide "adequate control" over their animals to ensure the animal cannot pose a threat to a person, another animal, or itself; or cause damage to personal property. Animals allowed to run at large are not "adequately controlled," which is also a form of animal neglect.
The "leash law" that requires that dogs and cats, when off of the property of their owners, harborers or keepers, must be under the physical restraint of a leash, tether, leader or other form of physical restraining device. Jefferson County ordinances do not recognize verbal command or electronic ("shock") collars as physical restraints.
Jefferson County requires animal owners provide adequate care and control of their animals. Harborers are people who provide food, water, shelter or veterinary care for animals not their own Keepers are people who have custodial responsibility for someone else's animal.
Adequate Care includes providing wholesome, species and age appropriate food for an animal; clean, fresh water for an animal; adequate shelter to keep the animal protected from the elements; and any such medical attention as may be necessary to ensure the health and welfare of the animal. Animals must be provided a secure, clean, healthy living environment as well.
Adequate Shelter must be species appropriate and large enough for the animal to stand up with at least six inches of space above its head and turn around inside the shelter. Shelters must be constructed in such a manner as to provide four walls, a roof, and floor, to protect the animal from the elements.
Animal owners, harborers or keepers must not allow their animals to attack and cause injury to another domesticated animal or to a human. An animal attack occurs when there is physical contact between one animal and another, or between an animal and a human that causes an injury or damage. An animal bite occurs when the teeth of an animal break the skin of another animal or human deep enough to cause the possibility of rabies virus exposure. When an animal attacks and bites another animal, it is causing damage to personal property. When an animal attacks and bites a human being, it is exposing the human to disease and injury. Animal owners, harborers or keepers can be held responsible for damages to personal property or for injuries to a human being.

BANGALORE: The cost of the proposed Cauvery Water Supply Scheme's (CWSS) Stage IV (Phase-II), being taken up with financial assistance from Japan Bank for International Co-operation, has shot up by Rs 442 crore!
The project was initially estimated to cost Rs 2,942 crore. The figure has now risen to Rs 3,384 crore. The state cabinet, which met on Thursday, approved the revised cost.
Home minister V S Acharya said the cabinet has given its commitment for the escalation sought in the detailed project report. The government had accorded administrative approval to the scheme on June 8, 2005, and the project was slated to be completed by 2009-2010. "But it did not take off due to various reasons and its completion will be further delayed," an official said.

GV's 'fishladder' promotes student voices through art
Courtesy / GVSU Fishladder
Since 1970, students at Grand Valley State University have submitted their work for publication to the university's art journal, fishladder. Originally called Amaranthus and Italics, the journal seeks art, photography, drama, poetry and creative writing to promote student work and spark discussion. Fishladder is student-run, including submitters, editors and layout staff, with a new magazine released each April.
The work submitted reflects the talent of GVSU's students. Associate professor of writing and fishladder adviser Amorak Huey said that art journals give students the opportunity to display this work and share with their peers.
"On GVSU's campus, as on any college campus, there are a ton of talented artists and writers producing new and exciting work. A campus journal is a way to showcase that work, to highlight what students are capable of creating," Huey said.
Editor-in-chief Maria McKee voiced similar thoughts about fishladder's importance to the GVSU community, referring to the vulnerability that comes with submitting personal work.
"fishladder is representative of the intellectual and emotional work our campus is willing to do and that work certainly isn't easy," McKee said.
Each year, submissions are accepted through the fall semester, with editors reviewing work over winter break. Fishladder boasts editors in five genres who vote on pieces to be published. Assistant editor Aleigha Kely said that her interest in creative writing drove her to apply at fishladder, where she met other students with the same passion.
"I love the idea of giving creative people a space to be imaginative and have their work showcased. Fishladder offers all of those things," Kely said. "It's an extremely polished magazine that comes together every year through the hard work of students who have a passion for art and writing."
For McKee, reviewing the content of her peers includes trust in her judgment. McKee said that a majority of the submissions for the 2019 edition focused on identity, and that care was taken to respect those identities in the process.
"That the Grand Valley community trusted me with their work means the world to me, and I really hope to do these pieces justice," McKee said.
Along with the unveiling this spring, an exhibition with selections from fishladder will be on display in the Kirkhof Center Gallery, a process that Huey said was based upon the student editors' choices. He said that "what ends up in the display reflects the editors' aesthetic values from among the best submissions" the journal received. The exhibition began March 8 and will continue through June 21.
Both Kely and McKee emphasized the difficult choices that fishladder editors have to make when deciding on which pieces to publish and display for the exhibition; not all submissions can be accepted, with McKee citing this year as a record high. Despite the challenges, McKee said that working as an editor helps her improve her writing and learn from her peers, while Kely is grateful for the staff "who are generous with their time and energy." McKee said the bond that fishladder fosters is due to the students who contribute.
"Fishladder is community. There wouldn't be a journal without the talented students who are ready to put their work into the world. There wouldn't be a journal without the readers, reviewers and genre editors that consider each submission with careful thought," McKee said.
McKee is set to graduate this spring after editing for fishladder since her sophomore year, with Kely taking over as editor-in-chief in the fall.
"Submitting art and writing for publication is a vulnerable act, and creating a platform for student voices is the most enriching experience I could have asked for during my time at Grand Valley," McKee said.
The unveiling of the 2019 edition of fishladder will take place April 19 at 6 p.m. in Lake Ontario Hall 164. Free copies of the magazine will be available, as well as artist talks and readings.

How Pumping the Breaks Is Helping This Smoothie Business
Amy and Jaime Paniagua are literally making slow food with their fresh Veggie Pods.
Hello Alice
10 Jan 2020 • 4 min read
When the comment you hear most about your business is, "Why didn't I think of that?," you may feel pretty sure that you have a winner. But a great idea isn't everything, says Amy Paniagua, founder of Jamy's Fine Foods with her husband, Jaime.
The product? Veggie Pod, a three-ounce concentrate of pulpy fruits, veggies, and herbs flash frozen at peak freshness. All you have to do is throw a pod into the blender with nine ounces of liquid (Paniagua uses coconut water), blend for 15 seconds, and imbibe. Basically, it's everything you want to pick up from a juice bar, but stored in your freezer at a small percentage of the price.
The way Paniagua sees it, it's not just a healthy option (it retains the fiber lost in cold-pressing), but one that cuts the food waste of juicing yourself, which usually ends in some veggies wasting away in the fridge. Most importantly, at about $3 to $5 per juice, it's a realistic choice for a meal even for people who can't usually afford to eat healthfully. "Lower income people where we live don't have access to produce, and it's healthy, fresh California produce," she explains of her home in Paso Robles. This could be a game changer for them.
It's a winning idea. But unless you live in northern California, you probably haven't seen Veggie Pod in stores. Why? Paniagua is purposely taking things slowly and gaining fans in person. Since launching Veggie Pod last March, the Paniaguas have won fans the old-fashioned way: with tastings in local markets. "We get out and talk to people every week by doing demos," Paniagua says. "We're growing organically instead of jumping into say, Costco."
Costco is no pipe dream for the food business veteran. She had one of the first gluten-free products in 12 Costco locations, a celiac-friendly adaptation of chef Roy Yamaguchi's iconic chocolate soufflé. That business closed in 2013 when Paniagua underwent treatment for melanoma. At the time, the soufflés were also in Whole Foods stores, other major grocery chains, and had been featured on QVC twice. But now, with the opportunity to start again, Paniagua has chosen a slower burn.
Why? In retrospect, she thinks that she pushed her last product into the big stores too quickly. "It can be up and down. You need to be so careful. You have to tread very smartly and very consciously," she says. One sudden cancellation can mean disaster for a company. Paniagua wants to make sure that her business is stable enough to handle the storms of the mercurial grocery business.
And in order to expand, Paniagua realizes that she will need money. "You can't build Rome or the pyramids with two people," she reasons. "You need a really strong team." She's currently talking to investors who might be able to help her take the next leap in her business, but says finding funding has been a challenge. That's because everything Veggie Pod earns goes right back into the company, which makes it hard to present worthwhile financials to potential investors. She realizes that finding the right investor will mean losing part of her and Jaime's equity in the company, but it's necessary to reach her goals.
And those goals are no smaller than cutting food waste, and making customers healthy. The idea originally came about when Jaime Paniagua, who has type 2 diabetes, was wheelchair-bound after a hip replacement. When he came out of the hospital, his insulin had skyrocketed and Amy Paniagua knew she had to do something to get him back on track. Initially, that meant $10 smoothies from a local juice bar. But the couple figured out their own recipes that were both healthier and cheaper. Jaime's blend, one of three currently available in stores and on the website, relies on okra to help lower blood sugar, but is flavored with a slew of ingredients at the peak of their freshness, including mango, ginger, and cucumber.
Their own success with lowering Jaime's numbers makes Amy Paniagua think that Veggie Pod belongs in hospitals, nursing homes, and other medical facilities. But she's been told that it's not easy to cross the red tape of such institutions.
For now, reaching Paniagua's goals means taking baby steps. At the moment, she's working on becoming fully biocompostable, for example. Her ultimate objective is to become a national retail product, and she knows that will take the right people who share her vision and are ready to commit to a hard road of fighting for freezer space in the grocery aisles.
But she says that it can be a challenge to think of Veggie Pod in numerical terms because the company is a true passion project. "We don't want to just be a product. We could really change people's lives," she says. Why can't she do both? With her years of know-how, it's likely she can. And people who need a better way to get their veggies will be healthier for it.

Alternate History Discussion: After 1900
Outrun my Gun: The Presidency of Douglas MacArthur
Thread starter GeneralInTheShell
GeneralInTheShell
Outrun my Gun:
The Presidency of Douglas MacArthur
--
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
October, 15th, 1952
A massive crowd swelled around the podium as the man they had waited several hours to see came to the stage. Out of the wings walked the Republican Presidential nominee Robert Taft, followed by the man that the people had come to see speak; his running mate Douglas MacArthur. While Taft wasn't a very good campaigner, his running mate made up for his shortcomings with his bombastic personality. People, well some people anyways, liked MacArthur; he was a war hero, a staunch anti-communist and he made Taft seem just a little bit more noticeable. The two men hoped to unseat the Democratic Party from the White House after twenty years of domination by beating Adlai Stevenson. Taft gave a short speech that received clapping a praise from the crowd, but that would soon disappear under the thunderous roar of applause and screams as the former general approached the podium to add a few closing statements.
"No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation. There are those who say that this war is the wrong war, with the wrong enemy, those that would appease Red China. I have said before that they are blind to history's clear lesson, for history teaches with unmistakable emphasis that appeasement but begets new and bloodier wars. Robert and I will preserve the freedoms of America, by pursuing victory in Korea. A victory in November means a victory in Korea, a victory over communism, and a victory over corruption!"
The crowd applauded the two men as MacArthur and Taft left the stage.
MacArthur held a grin on his face even as his lips held a Cuban cigar in his mouth. He was elated, he and Robert had won, it had been closer than he would have liked, but he had once said "You win or lose, live or die — and the difference is just an eyelash." About war so he supposed the same was true in politics. As he greeted the President-elect he asked him.
"What's wrong Robert? You don't look so well?"
Taft replied "Oh, it's nothing I'll be fine."
What neither men knew was that Taft would not be fine, the heavy campaigning had weakened his body cancer was slowly killing him.
Molotov nervously looked around the table at the others who comrade General-Secretary Vissarionovich had called up. Molotov knew that Stalin's mind was going, the strokes, heart attacks, and the Great Patriotic War had taken a great toll on the man; he was even more paranoid than usual. And while Molotov was fairly certain he knew what this meeting was about he could not be sure that it wasn't just Stalin rounding them all up to be liquidated. The great Georgian sat at the head of the table looking at the others, his heavy face looking into the very souls of those around him before he decided to speak.
"The capitalist Americans have shown their true nature as fascists today in their election of General MacArthur and his figurehead this Robert Taft."
Molotov didn't speak though he felt that it wasn't entirely a bad thing that Taft had been elected. The man did not want to be part of NATO a threat to the USSR's security and was more like the isolationists that had tried to keep the Americans out of the last war. Beria spoke as if on cue with Stalin's gaze.
"While the election of the general undoubtedly shows the true fascist nature of the Americans it may be beneficial to us as MacArthur is a man of the east, he will look to be less involved in Europe and more involved in Asia. Trading in Mao for Europe may be a possibility with this administration."
"How bad is it, Robert?" MacArthur asked Taft.
"It's not good Mac, the doctors say it has spread throughout my body and is inoperable. The stress of the campaign weakened my body and sped up the spread of the tumors. I've got a little bit over a month at best."

I love this. Secondly, Seres delenda est.

What happebned to Ike? How close was it? Did Truman think about running when he saw the opposition?
Paul V McNutt
It is hard to believe that Mac would settle for running mate but I gotta say this is the best way to get him into the White House.
A.M. Turtle
Paul V McNutt said:
Hoover final political legacy was trying to create an Taft-MacArthur anti-Eisenhower ticket. I am looking forward to the insanity and interesting times in this TL though.
Duke 4 said:
What happened to Ike? How close was it? Did Truman think about running when he saw the opposition?
1. Ike didn't run and is still in Europe.
2. will be revealed later.
3. He thought about it, but ended up making the same decision as OTL because he didn't want to split the Democratic party because he didn't get the nomination.
mrmandias
Speech. Less.
Alas, Babylon.
Well this is what I get for not starting on an MacArthur presidency TL and getting it out there. However there is another iconic American general who could replace Ike in '52....
mrmandias said:
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
A.M. Turtle said:
I've been doing research for this TL ever since I finished my first semester European History final which I chose to do on Operation Vulture (That might give you a hint at were this TL is headed).

General_Finley said:
MacArthur would be 73 years old when he took office, and pushing 74 when he became POTUS. Way too old.
1948 would have been more realistic, although you'd have to have him beat Dewey in the primaries, and have to bring him home from Japan to campaign. No way Truman was going to let that happen.
pnyckqx said:
Please snip rather than quoting the entire thing as it takes up needless space.
He did try and run in OTL and Taft did talk about making him his VP during the 52 election. Seeing as I've already written a fair deal of this TL and all my research is based on a 1952 Pod not a 48 Pod that drastically changes Japan I will continue along this line.
Plus as you said there is no way Truman would have allowed him to come home for the primaries. A Taft-MacArthur 1952 ticket is the most realistic way to get Mac to be president without creating countless butterflies. Mac is old but he wasn't elected to be president he was VP to make Taft more attractive to the electorate his becoming president wasn't exactly anticipated.
tchizek
Hmm, I tend to dislike MacArthur, but...Interesting so far, I have subscribed so I can see where you are taking this.
Is it treason to plot the death of someone who wasn't POTUS IOTL? :-}
I'll be watching this with interest and fear.
troosvelt
Interesting that if OTL is followed we will see both US and USSR leaders die at same time.

*Cough* Ronald Reagan *Cough*
RogueBeaver
Reagan was 73 in his second term, not his first.
RogueBeaver said:
He was still old. For it's time, this would have been unprecedented, but it's a possibility.
Cathcon1
Great start so far! I just thought that he'd be called "Bob" instead of "Robert" when in private.
Ariosto
Emperor Norton I said:
Gauging by how much faster he is likely to age due to continuous stress from holding the office itself, I think his Health is going to decline to the point where he is forced to recuse himself from the running in 1956. However, there then comes into question what kind of legislation would be drawn up as compared to ten years later (63-64) in regards to succession, and if allowed, who he would pick as his Vice President.

Disney's Star Wars Land will basically be a 'Choose Your Own Adventure'
Posted By Rachel LeBar on Mon, Apr 17, 2017 at 11:16 AM
The new Star Wars Land, coming to both Disneyland and Disney World, will be a land of choices and consequences.
At the 2017 Star Wars Celebration in Orlando, Disney's Imagineers revealed that the choices made throughout a guest's visit will have a direct effect on their experiences there, taking the idea of an "immersive attraction" to a whole new level.
This means that your interactions with other guests, whether or not the Millennium Falcon has a successful landing, and even where you choose to sit on a ride, can determine what happens for the rest of the day.
You could be sought after by a bounty hunter, or have to answer to roaming droids and other characters that will ask you to make a series of decisions.
Basically, throughout the day you will build your own reputation at the park, so choose wisely. (See the season finale of Westworld for examples of what could go wrong.)
This isn't the first time Disney has tested the idea. Legends of Frontierland at Disneyland also gave guests the opportunity to write themselves into the storyline while they were there, interact with characters and face consequences or be rewarded based on their efforts.
It is not known yet exactly how Disney is planning to pull this off, but it's possible with the help of MagicBand technology. Disney did reveal, however, that more information on Star Wars Land will be released at the D23 Expo in Anaheim in July 2017.
Star Wars Land opens in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland in 2019.

Dreaming about summer on these cold winter days? Nothing beats a warm summer night grilling dinner for friends with a refreshing drink in hand. Ensure your outdoor living space is summer soiree-ready by starting your deck or patio refinishing project now, before deck season begins. Below, the professionals at Gantner Painting explain the importance of refinishing decks and patios.
What Are Deck and Patio Refinishing?
The processes of refinishing a patio and a deck are very different. While a wooden deck must be power washed, sanded, stripped and restained, the steps taken to refinish a patio vary. The way a patio is refinished depends on the materials used to originally pave the patio. Power-washing is always a good first step, due to dirt being ground into the crevices, nooks, and crannies over time. Whether your patio is made of concrete, brick, stone or cobbles, hiring a professional will ensure that the patio refinishing project is completed efficiently and correctly.
Why Should I Refinish My Deck or Patio?
If cracks or chips start to appear on your paved patio, it's time to call in a professional to fix it. An expert can assess the damage and figure out the most cost-effective way to repair it, before more damage occurs.
It's important to keep up with the maintenance on wooden decks in order to preserve the sturdiness of the structure. If the wood is not cared for properly, it can dry out, making it easier to crack and splinter. While refinishing your deck on your own is likely to be easier than refinishing your patio yourself, hiring a professional will pay off in more ways than one. The experts you hire are equipped with the tools needed to properly do the job to deliver exceptional results in a timely manner. When you choose to work with a professional painting contractor, you are assured the project will be completed quickly, allowing you to enjoy a refinished deck as soon as the weather improves.
If you're considering a patio or deck refinishing project in the New Britain, Connecticut, area, give the friendly professionals at Gantner Painting a call at (860) 225-8577 to get a free estimate.

4.How would an effective institutional landscape for the collection and utilization of FSI for food access and nutrition look?
What mechanisms are needed to harmonizing data collection among different actors, especially district- and regional-level government ministries, and ensure coherence between relevant sectoral policies and national food and nutrition policies? How can a strong monitoring and evaluation system and coordination be supported?
From your perspective, who should oversee this shared space in terms of data?
I believe present day' private sector is very much mature and needs recognition, just not support... Any government mandate in delivery of Ag data for development should include Private Sector parties and make major disclosures in mandatory delivery with reasonable time frames... Host needs to be diverse and reflective of various stakeholders in a given context to mean "business"!
I agree. The knowledge sharing plaforms publishing the information in centralized websites could be a good model. FAO and NEPAD partnered in supporting SADC to develop a knowledge sharing platform for food security and nutrition. The establishment of the structure of these kind platforms takes time and needs coordinate efforts. African Union Commission is also putting in place a Center for Excellence or best pratices with support of FAO and ACBF. there is the need to coordinate all the efforts related to the knowledge sharing platforms in SSA by REC.
Data accuracy is a big challenge in many African countries. This could be related to indeaquate capacity at central and decentralised levels to collect and manage data. Also the type and source of data formal or informal. The definition of the two terms is confusing, leading to one sector being favoured than the other (formal vs informal).
Data repository is still government responsibility.It it is high time that the private and commercial sector are involved in data collection and management. However, there is need for coordination.
Can you talk a little more about informal vs. formal data? What types of data fall into each category, and why is it important to utilize both? How can both types best be captured and managed?
In all the above instances it becomes a must to utilize multicultural approaches to needs identification and inherent data collection to better grasp the underpinning validity of such data.
Given the various mandates and limited funding, how can this coordination be supported? Do you recommend an external body that oversees coordination or what should the structure be to facilitate coordination? Can you recommend specific examples of how this has worked (or not) in Senegal among various agencies?
Each country has established research institutions conducting food secuirty and nutrition research. I would strongly suggest harnessing this potential and capacity.
I agree it is important to support these institutions consistently and over the long term so capacity and information collection and dissemination can continuously increase. There is a need for collaboration space but this may only happen with sufficient funding and structures in place to support this collaboration among institutions and between them and government agencies.
Communication for developpment has been missing until it became clearer that stakeholders engagement is not just a number issue, but substance as well... to date recent success stories all stemmed from better community ownership and outreach, Grameen Bank in Bengladesh or actual WAAPP achievements in Senegal or even in Mali have all featured similar advances that need to only being replicated in the design and adapted to other local conditions to make the difference in millions... Believe it, it's lack of institutional will!
The coordination must be a priority for the government, allowing a high level National Institution to play its role. It is recommended to have a high level anchorage (Prime Minister Office, Ministry of finance or planning). The funding for the coordination (example for nutrition in Senegal) comes from the national budget in which there is a line dedicated to nutrition. The national body has the ability to convene other stakeholders around the nutrition agenda where you find various challenges. One key point will then be the technical capacities from the national body to coordinate, faclitate, catalyze. The national body must identify and master key processes for coordination: analysing, setting policies and strategies, monitoring and evaluating.
How about privatizing the role?
