Summoning Patience
Assisted Suicide Perishes
By John Martin
The House of Commons has resoundingly rejected state-approved assisted suicide by a three-to-one vote (330 to 118). Faith groups led the public argument against a "yes" campaign that had vastly more funding, almost daily celebrity pronouncements, and maximum publicity from deaths at the Dignitas suicide clinic in Switzerland.
The "no" campaign had the support of Prime Minister David Cameron, apparently confident enough about the result that he skipped the debate and watched a cricket match between Australia and England 200 miles away in Leeds.
Doctors played a considerable role in the lead-up debate. Members of the Christian Medical Fellowship and Guild of Catholic Doctors were successful in ensuring that the British Medical Association, the representative body of doctors, resisted pressure to "go neutral" on the issue.
During the debate doctor MPs made telling interventions. A Scottish MP, surgeon Philippa Whitford, urged MPs to help people "live every day of their lives until the end." She spoke of her experience of treating cancer patients. She wants to allow terminally ill people a "beautiful death" rather than hastening their death. Liam Fox, a former defense secretary, said a change in the law would force doctors and nurses into an ethical trap.
The Church of England opposed the bill, arguing that a change in the law would create pressure on elderly and feeble people. The Archbishop of Canterbury said the issue was one of the "biggest dilemmas of our time" but that a "slippery slope" would likely lead to further difficulties.
Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, and the Most Rev. Barry Morgan, Primate of Wales, opposed the bill, as did Shuja Shafi, secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain; Ephraim Mirvis, chief rabbi; and Sikh leader Lord Singh of Wimbledon.
"We are heartened that MPs have decided not to change the law on assisted suicide," said the Rt. Rev. James Newcome, Bishop of Carlisle and lead bishop for the Church of England on health-care issues.
"We believe that the proposals contained in the Assisted Dying Bill would have exposed already vulnerable people to increased risk," Bishop Newcome added. "The vote in the House of Commons sends a strong signal that the right approach towards supporting the terminally ill is to offer compassion and support through better palliative care. We believe that all of us need to redouble our efforts on that front."

With built-in full motor overload protection as well as full data logging, field serviceable fans, upgradeable firmware and extensive input/output programmability, VMX-synergy™ meets all of the key design criteria.
and onboard USB allows configurations to be upload/downloaded and emailed.
Energy optimizing is combined with bypass to give energy saving in more applications.
The VMX-Synergy™ will 'tune' itself to the load.
The VMX-synergy™ comes standard with a color touch screen on all sizes.
iERS is an advanced motor control technology for use in fixed speed applications. It is proven to reduce the energy consumed in a variety of industrial and commercial applications and has been implemented in every market from HVAC to Oil and Gas. In the industrial sector it is becoming increasingly important to offer technology that meets the corporate social responsibilities of companies as well as reducing the overall running costs of equipment and minimizing downtime and maintenance. iERS is a technology that matches the power consumption to the load required. It intelligently monitors and regulates energy consumption on fixed speed motors. It also monitors the voltage, current and power factor during the start to calculate the full load figures. During the running stage, the power factor continues to be monitored.
When the power factor drops, the motor is lightly loaded, and there are losses inherent in the design of a motor causing excess energy to be wasted. These are known as excitation losses. iERS's consistent monitoring automatically recognises these costly losses, and in turn reduces the voltage and current, to not only increase the part load power factor, but to reduce the energy consumption in kW and allow motor to run cooler. When the power factor increases, the motor is more loaded. iERS then automatically bypasses itself to remove any losses within the equipment.


Toll-like receptor 7/8 (TLR7/8) and TLR9 agonists cooperate to enhance HIV-1 envelope antibody responses in rhesus macaques.
The development of a vaccine that can induce high titers of functional antibodies against HIV-1 remains a high priority. We have developed an adjuvant based on an oil-in-water emulsion that incorporates Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands to test whether triggering multiple pathogen-associated molecular pattern receptors could enhance immunogenicity. Compared to single TLR agonists or other pairwise combinations, TLR7/8 and TLR9 agonists combined were able to elicit the highest titers of binding, neutralizing, and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity-mediating antibodies against the protein immunogen, transmitted/founder HIV-1 envelope gp140 (B.63521). We further found that the combination of TLR7/8 and TLR9 agonists was associated with the release of CXCL10 (IP-10), suggesting that this adjuvant formulation may have optimally stimulated innate and adaptive immunity to elicit high titers of antibodies.Combining TLR agonists in an adjuvant formulation resulted in higher antibody levels compared to an adjuvant without TLR agonists. Adjuvants that combine TLR agonists may be useful for enhancing antibody responses to HIV-1 vaccines.

Liquid Ice Control Application: Solving the Liquids Problems for any Contractor, Municipality or Business.
Every year, business owners, contractors, and municipalities prepare to their best ability for impending winter weather, blizzards, and icy conditions. Winter weather is nothing to take lightly, and oftentimes, these same people end up over applying salt to roads, sidewalks, and parking lots, thereby damaging the local environment, vehicles on the road, and harming animals.
Here at Xtreme Ice Control, we're determined to show everyone that salt isn't the only end-all be-all solution to heavy amounts of snowfall. By looking past the only conventional "cure" to ice that most people assume is the best way to go about winter weather, we're able to save all of our clients countless time and money in the maintenance and management process.
Be honest: did you know there are other solutions to snowfall maintenance besides salt? It's ok if you didn't. We provide a variety of liquid ice maintenance compounds here that can be preemptively laid on properties days before snowfall. By having this kind of flexibility, property owners are able to take their time preparing for impending weather without frantically throwing hundreds of pounds of salt all over the ground.
This same liquid is also able to effectively burn away the first .5 to 1 inches of snow that falls when the storm does start, saving owners maintenance fees when they inevitably have to call in the big guys to clear out the snow. Plus, this kind of assurance makes personal injury lawsuits more unlikely down the line.
We're able to come to your property, lay down the liquids in an effective manner, and be on our way with your property completely prepared for the storm ahead. We've invested in the equipment and know-how so you don't have to! This upfront service will now enable you to relax and focus on your business, which is what really counts at the end of the day.
By using this service, you'll be skipping out in 20 to 30% of salt laying costs, sometimes even higher depending the amount of liquid laid.
Above all, laying our ice control liquid is considerably better for the surrounding environment. Salt burns through grasses, top soils, and burns away at animal's feet nearby. Instead of being overzealous with the salt usage this winter, consider a more practical, affordable, and sustainable alternative instead.
Consider our Xtreme Ice Control anti-ice liquids today!
Not many business owners are aware of the preemptive measures that can be taken before impending winter weather hits their properties. Typically accustomed to how mediocre snow removal companies go about it, business owners assume the only way to handle snow and ice is to throw pounds of salt on top of it after it has hit the ground. Here at Xtreme Snow Pros, we're committed to doing something before the need to rack up a costly bill that entails expensive salt and crew maintenance.
A few days out in a front of a snow event, we apply anti-icing liquids on the property grounds, parking lots, and sidewalks, saving themselves and clients money on salt usage. By doing this, the property is effectively prepared for the first few inches of snow, with the laid liquid itself taking care of the first .5 to 1 inch of snowfall. This, in turn, keeps crews well rested, roads safe, and reduced overtime that results in a lower monthly expense in business operations which in turn reduces the bill for the client.
At the end of the storm, by taking this preemptive measure, the post granular application will require less material, which, again, saves the client a tremendous amount of maintenance fees.
If your property is effectively prepared for impending winter weather, that means less property maintenance and clearing will be required throughout the duration of the snowfall. Additionally, if less maintenance is needed, that means less wear and tear on our Xtreme Snow Pros equipment since fewer trips and repeated applications are required.
Another factor in reduced overtime costs, anti-icing saves money and minimizes potential losses to the environment.
Salt by itself, as well as salt application, is not cheap today. We may see plows spraying it all over highways during storms, but that doesn't mean it's a readily available and inexpensive commodity. Here at Xtreme Snow Pros, we see salt savings in the 20 to 30% range as a result of pre-treating alone. By coupling it with our liquid anti-ice treatments, we see even higher savings with all of our clients. In turn, that means labor savings, equipment savings, and more assured property protection for steering clear of personal injury lawsuits.
The bottom line is: we're passionate about smart, quality winter weather treatment so it saves both our team and our clients time and frustration in the process.
If you live anywhere in the New York or New Jersey region, you know that snow and ice can be a real threat anywhere in the October to April seasonal range. That's a lot of time to be worrying about unforeseen weather conditions that can take your business parking lot from a helpful spot to a harmful one – especially if a customer falls and files any kind of personal injury lawsuit. Too many businesses today consider ice and snow management a secondary priority when worrying about the maintenance of their commercial property. We're here to show you that with our services and products, it can be the easiest management concern you'll have to deal with all winter.
At Xtreme Ice Control, we harness the power of science to bring both snow and ice management to the next level with both anti-icing and de-icing solutions. Our product line is designed to help an entity face the storm head-on and keep surrounding roadways, walkways, and pathways both safe and accessible. That means reliable and affordable services, as well as durable products that can withstand any kind of Noreaster.
We supply the products, and we can also apply the materials in unmarked trucks so business owners can receive the benefits of our ice control solutions without the cost of additional vehicles and sprayers. Ice management doesn't have to be a big, grandiose, and expensive undertaking for your business property.
As a passionate New Jersey company ourselves, we work hard to service all of New Jersey and lower New York State to contractors, municipal, and government clientele. We want to ensure our products are the best on the market, so we manufacture our own salt brine, which means incredible savings for our clients. We are open to delivering loads as small as 400 gallons all the way up to massive loads of 5,500 gallons, providing prices as low as 50 cents per gallon.
By using our liquids/salt brine, customers will be able to get out way in front of the storm. It will reduce the overall usage of granular material, which means more money retained at the business bottom line. Additional advantages include access to services days in advance of the impending storm so you property is equipped and prepared for the winter weather. That way, you and your staff never have to brave an iced over blacktop at ungodly morning hours. By staying prepared, you will keep the ice bond away and your pavement safe for both you and your clientele.
As you can see from the picture above, there's a big difference when durable salt brine and proper application is applied to a business parking lot. We don't want you, your staff, or your clients falling down and injuring themselves this winter. Check out our salt brine products, delivery rates, size loads, and application services today to make a commitment to the safety of your business location and accompanying walkways.


Source plus my 3 second alteration!
Happy New Year to all the readers out there! It has been a long time since I've posted a blog, and I've really missed it. Unfortunately, I became extremely jaded and horribly unmotivated awhile back, which caused the blog to suffer. But, it is a new year and a new opportunity to not just pick up where I left off, but to make some changes for the better.
Without further adieu, here are my New Year's Resolutions for Theresa's Haunted History of the Tri-State!
1. I will take ANY criticism, warranted or not, no matter how rudely or nicely presented, as CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM and use it as motivation to improve this blog and the information presented within. I know I'm not perfect...so if you see any corrections that need to be made, please be kind and please provide accurate documentation to prove those claims. I am way too sensitive and need to not take things as personally--as I work on that, please bear with me, lol.
2. I will not let those who plagiarize my work cause me to shut down. I will take it as flattery, but I will still politely ask them to give credit where credit is due, lol.
3. I will make a valiant effort to post new, fresh content at least twice a week, especially in regards to West Virginia hauntings, an area that has ironically suffered quite a bit.
4. I will make a valiant effort to re-write or update many of my early entries on haunted locations, especially in West Virginia. Although the blog itself only dates back to 2011, most of my Haunted WV entries date back to around 2006...and were never meant to be public. There is a LOT more information out there now, especially on the internet, and my skills as a researcher have improved a lot since those early days, so those early entries definitely need a makeover!
5. I will remember that this is my passion, and while I will never stop doing what I love, I couldn't have made it this far without the support and encouragement (and readership!) from my awesome fans! I appreciate you all.
Have a safe, happy, prosperous 2016!

Self-Declared Batman Fan Meagan Tandy on Forbidden Love in 'Batwoman'
Jamie Broadnax
Jamie Broadnax is the creator of the online publication and…
If you're not already familiar with CW's Batwoman, it's time you got up to speed. It's not only Kate Kane in the streets of Gotham kicking ass and taking names — Sophie Moore, played by Meagan Tandy, is a martial-arts expert and member of the Crows.
Sophie Moore is a force to reckoned with and holds her own in the new CW series Batwoman. Depicted by actor Meagan Tandy (best known for her work in Teen Wolf and Survivor's Remorse), Sophie shares a complicated past with Kate Kane and an even more complex present that builds an intense story arc between these two.
Meagan Tandy is a self-declared Batman fan and was excited the moment she got the role of Sophie Moore. Sophie is a canon comic book character but had a short stint in the Batwoman universe. The adapted TV version of Kate Kane's story has a more fleshed-out role for Sophie, and Meagan will be the first actor to bring this character to live-action to television.
BGN sat down in a one-on-one interview with the actor to discuss more about her character, doing stunts, and who her favorite Batman is.
So please share with our readers: Who is Sophie Moore?
Sophie is one of the top agents for a military squad called the Crows. She is second in command right under Jacob Kane, who is Kate Kane's father. Sophie and Kate have a relationship path that they had when they were in military school. They broke up very abruptly and with absolutely no closure. Sophie is actually the reason why Kate has come back to Gotham. Sophie was kidnapped by the Wonderland gang.
Sophie has a very complicated relationship with Kate that is wrapped up in forbidden love and society's ignorance of same-sex relationships. Would you say is there more to Sophie's disconnection to Kate?
Absolutely. Hopefully, people will be tuning in each and every week. They're going to actually get a chance to explore that with Sophie. Because of course, there's just the whole thing of being LGBTQ and not being sure or confident enough, if she should go that route, because she's trying to fit into society standards. But there's also being a Black woman, as well as most of the challenges of the human experience, having to do with even just that.
I want to kind of touch on representation a little bit. We're now seeing more Black LGBTQ characters in these comic book shows. We saw that with Nafessa Williams's character on Black Lightning, and now we're seeing that with your character on Batwoman. What do you make of all of this representation that we're finally getting to see?
It's a great thing. One thing that a lot of people have said to me is how in, in some sectors, it's still a taboo for Black people to be even a part of the LGBT community. There are always arguments like, "Now you're gonna put one more label on yourself to give society a reason to not trust you, to not hire you, and to not accept you." When you've got characters like myself and Nafessa, and we're on popular comic book TV shows, I think it's a great thing. I'm hoping that it will help me to change people's perception of what it is like for Black people in the LGBT community. I'm hoping that we can inspire and motivate other people who are just like us.
Sophie has military training and perhaps may have more than Kate since she finished and Kate didn't. Can we expect to see more of her in combat training in action this season?
Absolutely. In fact, that's actually one of my favorite things about the entire thing. I love doing the stunts and the fight sequences. I've got a wonderful stunt double up in Vancouver, Rochelle Okoye. She does a wonderful job. Anytime that I'm working I say, "All right, girl, you go on and jump in, and drop 30 floors off the thing." I now know how to dropkick somebody. It's honestly so much fun because it's also a workout, and I love to exercise. Aside from the acting, which I love to do, I love to be able to just speak and use my voice.
So you mentioned you do have a stunt double. You're not doing any of your own stunts on this series?
For the most part, no. Anything that involves some highlights like rolling off the side of a car or being dragged, I usually just let Rochelle do it. They're really great up there in Vancouver. Sometimes I'll actually say to Rochelle, "No, girl, I got it." Because it'll be something as simple as in the first episode. Obviously, somebody else went over the railing. I didn't go over the railing. We had a stunt double do that. Better to play it safe. I'm not properly trained to be able to do anything beyond that. Let the professionals do it.
What's been the most exciting part about playing Sophie?
There have been so many things. I've been such an avid Batman fan since I was so young. The fact that I get to play in the Gotham world has been absolutely amazing in and of itself. But a really cool thing, too, is, Sophie wasn't in the comics in a large way. She and Kate split off after military school; they went their separate ways. So the really nice thing about CW version of this is they've given Sophie a complete platform. This is a character that is now in the world of that woman. I'm literally the very first person to be able to put this up on screen. I'm able to kind of give it my own little spin, and I can be really creative with how I want to do it.
Is it true that she was also a woman of color in the comics?
Yes, she was.
That's awesome. I hope that because of your presence on the CW show that they'll bring her back into the comics and give her a fleshed-out storyline.
If they were to do it another way, if they were to continue in the comic world, I have a feeling Sophie will probably pop up a little bit more as a result of this show. At least that's my hope. So we'll keep praying on that one.
Thoughts on the Birds of Prey trailer?
I have not seen the trailer. However, I know how incredibly awesome and important it is that there's going to be crossovers, which everyone's really, really excited about. Just hearing that it's going to be amazing, but I actually did not get a chance to see the trailer.
And what do you think about the movie as a whole, just seeing these women crime fighters on the big screen and more women roles that are being adapted into these big screen comic book heroes?
Honestly, I think it's really awesome. You know, it's funny, I was doing an interview earlier today and somebody was just talking about the world of Gotham and how people usually associate me being such a major Batman fan. We've got a female villain and female love interest to other women. I think this is a great thing. It's showing that we are moving in a direction where there is more inclusivity and more diversity. I think it's great for our youth to be looking at us. So I love it.
You mentioned you're Batman fan, so I have to ask: Who is favorite Batman of all time?
Oh, my goodness. It will always be The Dark Knight's Christian Bale. I love his depiction of the role. I thought that man had it going on. I was like, "He can save me any day." He did a great job.

Interview with Lancaster Roses Cheerleading Captain
13th October 2011 Sport
Photo by Tom Starbek-Wazynski
With try outs around the corner, SCAN speaks to Lancaster Roses Cheerleading Captain, Shona McGinn, about expectations and ruling out old-time prejudices:
The Lancaster Roses Cheerleading Squad has gone from strength to strength in recent years and represented the university on both campus and university levels, what can we expect from the squad this year?
After returning from the British Cheerleading Association's (BCA) annual university competition in April, we aim to build on our success. Our Co-Ed squad came 2nd, All-Girl Squad achieved the highest score they've ever received and our Dance Squad narrowly missed out on a trophy. We plan to compete at BCA again alongside another university open competition earlier in the year – which we have never done before. We will also, as always, be supporting societies like the American Football team at their games and performing at various events such as Roses, the Charity Ball Showcase and the Campus Festival.
For those who aren't as aware of the club make up, what squads do the Lancaster Roses have and how do they differ?
We have three squads that make up our society; dance, all-girl and co-ed, all of which are entered in national competition. Dance Squad is usually the smallest of the three. They work on fast paced dance routines using pom-poms and involves no stunting. All-Girl Squad is one of our uniformed squads and is, as the name suggests, entirely made up of girls. They work on a 2 minute routine in which they dance, jump, stunt and do gymnastics plus use pom-poms. Co-Ed Squad is made of both girls and boys. They also wear the traditional cheerleading kit and enter competition at a higher level because having men on the team enables them to do bigger stunts.
Who is coaching the various squads and what credentials do they have?
We coach ourselves; each squad has two coaches that have attended a coaching weekend by the BCA and gained their NCSSE (National Council for Spirit Safety and Education) coaching qualification at various levels depending on the squad they are coaching. This year we are also getting an outside professional coach to help all three squads.
What sort of students are you looking to attract this year?
We encourage anyone and everyone to come and have a go at our try-outs, no experience is necessary to join the squad. For anyone who is from a dancing or gymnastics background but fancies something different, cheerleading may be the sport for them. We are also looking to build on the triumph of our co-ed squad and to do this we need more male members. Cheerleading isn't all girls and pom-poms! Co-ed squads across the country have at least 5 or more male members who help the squads perform bigger and more complex stunts – excellent upper body strength is most definitely required.
What can people expect from try outs? What would you say to those who are nervous?
There is absolutely no need to be nervous. Try outs mainly consist of doing some basic stunts and cheers that are taught in the taster sessions. They are mainly in place to allow the coaches to place you on the right squad for you. You will be asked if you have any gymnastic experience but please don't worry if you don't; I can proudly say as captain of the Lancaster Roses my gymnastic ability just about stretches to a forward roll!
With a home Roses this year, can we expect to see more performances from the squads? When else do you expect to perform?
Every year we undertake at least 2 performances at the university. We perform at the Charity Ball in Lent term alongside other societies, such as the ballroom society, and also at a university favourite, the Carlton Nightclub. With Roses being at home this year we will also be at the Roses Rally. We will be performing the half time event at the Lancaster Bombers game and hopefully any other opportunities that may arise.
What would you say to those who say that "Cheerleading isn't a sport"?
I would invite anyone who has this view to come down to our taster trials, especially men. Many males don't want to be known as cheerleaders exactly because of this viewpoint. Cheerleading requires great upper body and core strength plus balance and coordination to carry out the stunts, which we are continuously looking to build on. Every year at competition we watch other co-ed squads perform some amazing routines with several male members to each stunt. This year's highlight was watching a partner stunt performance with one male lifting another cheerleader entirely on his own above his head – we would love to have some members of our squad rival this ability. Every practice we partake in a group warm up and cool down as in any other sport due to the physical requirements of the activities we undertake and every year we bring back trophies for the university. But if none of this can convince you that cheerleading is a sport, I challenge you to come down to our taster sessions and try it out for yourselves!
It is fair to say that there are numerous preconceptions about cheerleading – it is catty, girly and cliquey – how will you and your exec work to overcome such prejudices?
When I was a fresher, I too was worried about such preconceptions. However, I aim with my exec to be as welcoming to newcomers as the previous exec was to me. The great thing about our society, like all those at Lancaster, is that we encourage anyone to join and so you get a great mix of people that perhaps on a normal day to day basis would not meet one another. In a cheerleading environment, where you stunt at every practice, it also creates a lot of trust between partners- you are literally supporting each other. The exec this year is made up of members from every squad so all squads are represented by the exec and their views can be heard.
Why should the Lancaster Roses Cheerleading Squad be the students' choice at Freshers' Fair?
Cheerleading is definitely something different from other societies as we are a sport that combines gymnastics, dance and lifting. We represent the university proudly with our Lancaster kit and we are known across campus for our spirit.
The Roses have a close relationship with the American Football team, what are you looking to do in order to maintain this strong relationship?
We definitely have a strong relationship with the American Football Team, The Lancaster Bombers, which we aim to strengthen even further this year. We aim to increase the number of cheerleaders at events and to be there for the team at both home and away games. We also aim to support other university societies at their game as we are a university squad and as such should represent and support the whole university.
Is it all work and no play?
No of course not! Every week we have a social in which everyone from all squads is invited to go out and have fun. Our socials are usually themed as determined by the two socials secretaries on our exec. We have joint socials with other societies like the Lancaster bombers. Every year we also go on a squad holiday.
How has funding improved this year? How are you looking to invest it?
This year we have had access to more funding than ever from LUSU. This has enabled us to look towards getting ourselves a professional coach and also helped with the cost of entering more competitions and transport to them.
To find out more about the Lancaster Roses Cheerleading Squad visit them at Freshers' Fair next Thursday, they will also be performing at the LUSU Activities Showcase on Wednesday.

Looking for a quick and easy sweet treat? These Easy Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Drizzle are the perfect afternoon or late night snack!
Hey hey everyone! I just got back from another amazing press trip, this one a 3-day intensive exploration of the Dundee Hills Wine AVA (see my Instagram feed & the Dundee Hills Highlights reel for details!). Now I'm immersed in a sea of work deadlines AND non stop end-of-year school activities. You, too? Or are your kiddos already out on summer break? I took an Instagram poll and it seems like most of the kids on the West Coast are still in school, while the rest of the country (lucky ducks!) are already out for the summer.
The last couple of months, the kids and I have been hard-pressed for time to make any fancy desserts, but who needs fancy for everyday yumminess, right? You all know we love EASY and delicious in my house, and I know many of you do, too, so I think you're going to LOVE today's recipe.
Today happens to be National Peanut Butter Cookie Day, so I thought I would share one of my family's favorite easy cookies. We love it and make it all the time, and I hope you will try it and fall in love with it, too!
If you've never made homemade peanut butter cookie recipes before, but you like peanut butter cookies, I think now is the perfect time to start. Trust me: after you make these once, you will make them again and again!
That's it! It's the most basic, easiest to remember recipe (1-1-1 ratio of ingredients – simple!), and it totally gets the job done.
I also skip the fancy fork tine design. Because you know what? That's easier said than done; the dough is often too soft to create a design with the fork.
However, we DO take it up just a notch by adding chocolate drizzle on top.
Chocolate drizzle is actually easier and takes less time (in our experience) than creating the super traditional criss-cross pattern on peanut butter cookies. Simple microwave some chocolate chips with coconut oil, and voila! Note: you can also use regular or almond milk instead of coconut oil, if you prefer.
We adore the chocolate and peanut butter flavor combo in our house. This way, each cookie gets a soft, salty peanut butter cookie with a little hit of sweet chocolate decadence on top. It's a well-balanced dessert that will satisfy your cookie cravings.
Once these cookies are made, they do go quickly. We've actually made them twice in one week before in our house because they were gobbled up so fast! However, I like to set some aside to add some pizazz to other dishes once in a while.
Recently, I crumbled up a few cookies and topped off my breakfast of peanut butter, banana, chia seed overnight oats. Oh my word, this was a decadent breakfast! I mean, really, let's call it what it was: dessert for breakfast. If you want a fancier dessert-for-breakfast, I'll be sharing this recipe soon!
crumble up the cookies and add to a fresh batch of vanilla ice cream during the last 5 minutes of churning. It tastes like cookie dough ice cream!
These cookies are made with just 3 ingredients, then topped with chocolate, and taste amazing!
In a large bowl, mix together peanut butter, sugar, and egg.
Form the dough into small balls and place on cookie sheets prepared with parchment paper, about 1-2 inches apart.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. Remove and set out to cool at room temperature for about 3-5 minutes.
Make the chocolate drizzle by microwaving the chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave safe container in 30-second intervals, stirring between each one, until completely melted.
Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter cookies and allow to set and cool at room temperature, or you can place in the refrigerator for a few minutes to set the chocolate.
Makes about 4-5 dozen, depending on the size of your cookies. These keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, but see if they last that long without being gobbled up!
Do you love peanut butter cookies? How about the peanut butter + chocolate flavor combo? What other flavors do you love with peanut butter?
I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but I always love peanut butter cookies. Gotta try making a vegan version of these cookies sometime. Looks like a tasty treat!
Peanut butter cookies are so good! Thanks, Waz!
These cookies look so delicious. I love any with peanut butter and chocolate.
Me too! They're one of my favorite combos! Thank you, Luci!
Easy + PB + chocolate = winning combo! I need to make these ASAP!
Let me know how you like them! Thanks, Brittany!
These look so delicious! Peanut butter cookies are my weakness. They're my absolute favorite. But I've actually never tired making them myself before so I'll have to save this recipe for later!
Wow! What a cool recipe – So easy to remember since it's a 1-1-1 ratio! Love the chocolate drizzle too.
The drizzle adds a nice touch! Thank you, Erin!
Seriously, just 3 ingredients? And none are butter or flour (considering my kiddos are allergic to those two).
I'm sold! Going to try them this week.
Thanks for the idea, and the great ratio to remember them by!
Yay! I'm glad you liked the post! Thank you, Mary!
Nothing better than a peanut butter cookie made better! I've done chocolate and bacon before in my cookies! Your chocolate drizzle seriously is the icing on the cake – or drizzle on the cookie, yum!
These are the perfect cookies for peanut butter cookie day! Love a classic.
Wow this recipe for the cookies is crazy simple and they looks delicious in your photos! I will absolutely have to make these soon!

TAMC Exec Does the Right Thing for SB 1
By: Bill Higgins on Apr 12, 2017
It only took a moment, but Debbie Hale did the right thing. She co-penned an article--with Carl Sedoryk, CEO of Monterey-Salinas Transit--that ran in the local paper The Californian to publicly thank her local Legislators.
With a low score of only 50 out of 100, Monterey County has a county road system that is on the cusp of being graded "poor" in the statewide local needs assessment. Or as Debbie put it, "our roads and bridges are crumbling." The issue was so acute in Monterey County that voters passed Measure X and Measure Q to start "chipping away" at a $2 billion backlog of road repairs and vulnerable transit service.
But road funding is a two way street. And Debbie noted that until the Legislature had acted on SB 1, the state had not been doing its part. Noting that the gas tax had not changed in over twenty years, she wrote "You can't support a 21st century transportation system with 1990's revenues – our funding system doesn't even recognize that electric vehicles are on the road. It is no wonder that our streets are in failing condition, and we can't run our buses as many places, or as often, as they are needed."
But this is the statement that we really appreciate:
"We are proud to say that our Monterey Bay delegation – Sens. Bill Monning and Anthony Cannella, and Assembly members Mark Stone and Anna Caballero – unanimously voted to repair our local roads and streets, increase bus service, and improve state highway safety and road conditions."
The article goes on to explain how Monterey County will benefit from SB 1. It's really worth the read. We encourage all of our members to reach out and similarly thank their Legislators who voted for SB 1. We will let Debbie close, which acknowledges the vote of more than two thirds of Monterey County voters last November, to take us out:
Voting for taxes is a tough call – you know that because you made that decision last November. Let's thank our state legislators for investing in the Monterey Bay regional economy and voting for SB 1.
Note: we also acknowledge that these remarks were co-written by Carl Sedoryk. But since TAMC is a CALCOG member, we are giving all the credits to Debbie in this piece. 😀

'The first musical tune I could hum was the 'Hockey Night in Canada' theme song'
Name: Jeff Powell
My NHL team is… Toronto Maple Leafs
I spent your childhood years in… the suburbs of Toronto, so there wasn't really a choice.
Hockey means… everything for Canadians! I started to skate not long after studying to walk, and spent more time playing road hockey than Used to planning to school.
My Dad… has forever been an enormous hockey fan. He waxes lyrical around the times of the 'original six', and watching the greats like Bobby Orr and Gordie Howe. While he played they put retracted newspapers for their socks, without helmets. Dedicated.
My five-year-old daughter… doesn't know she's a Leafs fan yet. I often take her over to skate.
The first musical tune I can hum was… the 'Hockey Night in Canada' theme song. It's such as Match throughout theme tune, but better.
It's been 50 years… since the Leafs last won the Stanley Cup. It would be karmic to lift the trophy whilst the NHL celebrates its centenary. But Practical goal holding my breath.
'The sheer potential for obtaining the second pick was quite remarkable'
Name: James Joslyn
My NHL team is… Winnipeg Jets
What I love regarding the sport is… the generally tight games, the level of the crowds and the fast pace of the game. I admire its relative simplicity.
The team's good results… came well before time. Though the 2019 Draft Lottery, enabling the Jets to move on the sixth pick on the second and pick Right Wing Patrik Laine, having a lot of optimism for future seasons which has a real star to make around. That advertise wasn't fulfilled last season, but it resembles it might this occassion and bodes well money. The sheer chance of obtaining second pick was quite remarkable all of which will hopefully be a turning point for a franchise which has struggled since relocating and reviving the Jets name.
It's challenging to look beyond… Teemu Sel?nne as my all-time favourite player. Nicknamed "The Finnish Flash" his achievements when using the Jets, particularly that incredible rookie season, are a thing that can not be underestimated. He or she much better remembered for his time while using Ducks, but his amount of time in Winnipeg was this type of fruitful one.
Out of the current bunch… I can't help but admire the Columbus Blue Jackets' stony-faced goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky. The function of an goaltender is a precarious one but Bobrovsky is ice-cool stressed and pulls off some incredible stops.
'My Grandmother was from Montreal and my Grandfather was from Boston. Enough said!'
Name: Chris Fielder
Location: Saint Augustine, Florida
My NHL team is… Boston Bruins
When I'm in my teens… I would spend Saturday nights with my Grandparents and we might watch Hockey Night in Canada. The very best nights were in the event the Bruins literally Canadiens. My Grandmother was from Montreal and my Grandfather was from Boston. Enough said!
My all-time favourite player is… Bobby Orr, most significant hockey players in recent history. Of the current bunch I've got to say many experts have enjoyable watching Brad Marchand change from a scrappy fourth liner towards the premier Winger he or she is today.
Living in North Florida… I avoid getting many chances to see the Bruins. On the other hand attempt to get through to the Tampa Bay Lightning games once they play them. The Jacksonville Icemen just roared to life being a Jets minor league franchise, so I am attending a number of games with my 13-year-old son.
'My only probability to make up for NHL matters was my subscription to Sports Illustrated'
Name: Hayden Gordon
My NHL team is… Chicago Blackhawks
I fell in love with the video game… growing in South Africa on my first stop by to the area ice rink. I also met the romance of living there at 16 and we're still together.
I've attended some Ottawa Senators games… as they play locally. But I usually spend the winters in warmer climates currently. The thrill of retirement!
Back during my teenage life… there was no TV in South Africa. Clearly there was virtually no hockey information. My only chance to atone for NHL matters was my subscription to Sports Illustrated, which arrived on a monthly basis or more after publication.
I wrote to Bobby Hull… when I became a young person living in South Africa. I was thrilled to obtain a postcard back signed from the Blackhawks legend. I still need the credit card and showed it to him, when you were sufficiently fortunate to get meet in Ottawa. He took it from me carefully, looked it over and responded with a great smile.
'The Flyers are definitely the only NHL team that had been beat the Red Army'
Name: Steve
My NHL team is… Philadelphia Flyers
The one memory that basically stands out is … the time the Flyers defeated the Russian Red Army team 4-1 in 1976. It had been a famous international game took part in early January and was broadcast to a international audience. That it was this type of bad tempered affair, however the Flyers are the only NHL team that been able to beat the Red Army.
The most untouchable player is … Wayne Gretzky with out question. On the players currently within the NHL I love Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin.
For ages … it seemed almost like the velocity on the players made scoring more "luck in the bounce" than great playmaking. Fortunately the style of play is apparently opening up. It's made the sport easier to watch in recent seasons.
The supreme court on Monday struck down a federal law that bars gambling on football, basketball, baseball along with other...
Claressa Shields outpoints Christina Hammer to unify middleweight championship – since it happened


This amazing book is for all ages and worth every second spent on reading it. Brilliant.
This is the story that follows the life of the boy Nobody Owen, Bod who thanks to his curiosity avoided being killed by the 'Jack Man'. He was adopted by the Owen's and thanks to the generosity of the Deaths he was able to live in the graveyard and was protected by them so the 'Jack Man' couldn't find him finish his job.
The story is a little dark but it also has kindness, adventure. It shows the division between right and wrong, what is really scary are not the monsters but the man who wants to kill Bod.

Randy Savage
World Wrestling Entertainment Inc.
Thoughts on the Randy Savage DVD
By Kevin Eck
The much-anticipated Randy Savage DVD, Macho Madness: The Ultimate Randy Savage Collection, was released today, and it was worth the wait.
Savage was one of my favorite wrestlers during the Hulkamania era in the WWF, and this DVD is a reminder of just how incredibly talented and unique of a performer he was both in the ring and on the microphone.
It goes without saying that the three-disc set of Savage's most famous matches and promos are a must for any "Macho Man" fan, but I also highly recommend it for any younger fans who may not be that familiar with him.
The DVD has most of the Savage matches that you would expect – versus Ricky Steamboat at WrestleMania III, Ted DiBiase at WrestleMania IV, Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania V, Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VII, Ric Flair at WrestleMania VIII – but there also are several compelling matches that I had never seen before.
Among them is match against Shawn Michaels that took place in 1992 shortly after Michaels turned heel and became a singles wrestler, as well as a tag team match that pitted Savage and Bret Hart against Ric Flair and Michaels, also from '92.
[Most read] Mike Preston: New defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald might be Ravens coach John Harbaugh's successor | COMMENTARY »
Not only do we get Savage in the ring with his contemporaries and future main-eventers such as Michaels and Hart, but there also is a match between Savage and "The Living Legend" Bruno Sammartino from 1987. There are matches from Savage's stint in WCW, as well, including a good one against Diamond Dallas Page from 1997 that helped make DDP a star.
As much as I enjoyed the matches, however, the best part of the DVD for me are the promos. With his gravely voice, odd mannerisms and mixed metaphors, Savage had one of the most distinctive promo styles ever. His promos were often stream of consciousness and nonsensical, but the brilliance was in his delivery. Much like Flair, Savage could cut a heel promo that entertained you as much as it made you want to root for his opponent to put him in his place.
Unlike today's heavily scripted promos, Savage was a star during an era when guys came up with their own stuff, and his creativity is on full display here in several interviews with Mean Gene Okerlund. Savage shows that he could pick up a random object lying around the studio – such as a cup, a newspaper, a broom, a trash can and even a miniature coffee creamer – and incorporate it into the interview. And the word association segment that he does with a "psychiatrist" on Tuesday Night Titans is just laugh-out-loud funny.
As with any retrospective on someone who has had a career as illustrious as Savage, not everything will be included on the DVD that you would like. I really wish the match from The Main Event in 1989 in which Savage turned on Hogan was on there. I also would like to have seen one of Savage's promos from that feud with Hogan on the DVD. His intensity was off the charts during that run.
It's also a shame that there is no pre-WWF footage of Savage from his days in Memphis and International Championship Wrestling – where he frequently feuded with his brother, Lanny Poffo.
As expected given the strained relationship between Savage and WWE, the man himself was not involved in the project, nor are there interviews from anyone talking about Savage. The clips are introduced by Matt Striker and Maria.
Still, what is on the DVD – including a fair share of Savage's manager and real-life wife Elizabeth – more than makes up for what isn't on it.

NY announces settlement with utilities over 2018 storms
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York has reached a $10.5 million settlement with two upstate utilities over 2018 winter storms that left over 300,000 homes and businesses without power, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Thursday.
Cuomo said it was "beyond unacceptable" that some customers of New York State Electric & Gas Corp. and Rochester Gas & Electric Corp. were without power for as long as a week.
Requests for comment were sent to the utilities.
The state's Public Service Commission will review and act upon the settlement at a future session.
Cuomo, a Democrat, said NYSEG admitted to 18 violations of its state-approved emergency response plans, while the Rochester utility admitted to three.
The governor says $9 million will come from NYSEG shareholders, and $1.5 million will come from RG&E.
The companies also agreed to hire and maintain employees with training in storm restoration and damage assessment.
The settlement follows a state investigation into the utilities' responses to storms that hit the mid-Hudson region five days apart in March 2018.

Land Subsidence
Land subsidence is the lowering of the land-surface elevation due to changes that take place underground.
Throughout California, subsidence has damaged buildings, aqueducts, well casings, bridges and highways. Common causes include pumping water, oil or gas, dissolution of limestone aquifers known as sinkholes, drainage of organic soils and initial wetting of dry soils, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
As the land sinks, flooding problems are aggravated. Subtle changes in land gradient can adversely impact sewer lines and storm drainage. In all, subsidence has resulted in millions of dollars in damage.
In general, the groundwater system responds to the climate. In wetter periods, water goes into storage, while in drier periods, or droughts, water is removed from storage.
Long-term overdraft or excessive pumping of a groundwater aquifer, can also result in subsidence and sinking ground surface.
During normal, wet winters, lands with elastic, sandy soils tend to bounce back, but in areas with clay layers, the amount of water layers can hold is permanently reduced once water is withdrawn. It is often a concern in dry years as more groundwater is extracted.
Land Subsidence Hot Spots
Subsidence was a widespread problem in California earlier in the 20th century – when pumping technologies had developed enough to increase production, but before surface water systems were developed to meet growing water demand.
Some of the greatest subsidence in the state occurred in the Long Beach area during the 1940s and 1950s as the result of oil production. By 1951, the rate of subsidence exceeded two feet per year and total subsidence reached as much as 29 feet in the center of the subsidence bowl. In the 1950s, the city of Long Beach determined that water injection would repressure the oil formations and stop the surface subsidence.
Half of all of the subsidence that has occurred in the United States has occurred in California.
The most severely affected areas were in southern and western portions of the San Joaquin Valley as irrigated agriculture expanded. Between 1925 and 1977, land near Mendota sank by nearly 30 feet. By the 1950s a broad area down the west side of the valley to Kettleman City in Kings County sank by up to 25 feet, and on the eastern side of the valley, Tulare and Wasco area farms sank 12 feet. At the extreme southern end of the valley, the ground sank 8 feet. Even in the wetter Sacramento Valley, in the Zamora and Knights Landing areas of Yolo County, the land sank by 4 to 6 feet. Portions of the Antelope Valley near Lancaster, northeast of Los Angeles, have sunk by 6 to 8 feet from 1930, according to USGS.
Also, urban development in the Mojave Desert and Antelope Valley has increased groundwater extractions to the point that the land has begun to sink and fracture. At Edwards Air Force Base, where the space shuttle used to land and the military has tested airplanes for decades, one of the largest fissures – 12 feet deep, 4 feet wide and 2,000 feet long – took a runway out of service and raised questions about the integrity of the dry lake bed that is used in base operations.
The pace of subsidence slowed until the 1987-93 drought, when increased pumping demands on the aquifers reduced the water table in the Central Valley by as much as 100 feet. Portions of the San Joaquin Valley began to sink again – by 8 feet in some areas. For some water managers, these drought-related events are an indication of long-term problems. In 2009, after years of drought, USGS published a study noting once again drought conditions had caused groundwater pumping to increase, and groundwater levels were approaching their historic lows, leading to more concerns about subsidence.
A 2017 subsidence report by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory identified two known main subsidence bowls in the San Joaquin Valley: the larger centered on Corcoran and extending 60 miles to the northwest, affecting the California Aqueduct. Between May 2015 and September 2016 maximum total subsidence was found to be about 22 inches near Corcoran. A second bowl is centered on El Nido and is approximately 25 miles in diameter, encompassing most of the East Side Bypass.
Subsidence impacts the Friant-Kern Canal, which is sinking so much that it has lost about 60 percent of its flow. The 152-mile canal from Millerton Lake to Kern County was built in the 1940s. It has sunk two to three feet in some places over about a 25 mile area. The original design capacity 4,000 cubic feet per second in that area has dropped to 1,600 cfs.

Department of Water Resources to spend $5 million for quick fixes, as it assesses longer-term repairs
For as long as agriculture has existed in the Central Valley, farmers have pumped water from the ground to sustain their livelihood and grow food consumed by much of the nation. This has caused the ground in certain places to sink, sometimes dramatically, eliminating valuable aquifer storage space that can never be restored.

I will use this blog post as an ArcGIS notebook. So it will be record of what Iearn but also how I solved the problems I encountered. I'm using Arcmap 10.3 on a Mac via the VirtualBox.
1) ArcMap export doesnt show save button and file name filed.
Close ArcMap and go to the Start menu.
Expand ExportDlg folder, in right panel, double click on "ShowOptionsPanel"
Enter "1" for Value Data and OK.
Close Registry and restart ArcMap. Test Export feature which should now show options.


I decided that today was the time for another picture of me for people who follow this blog.The purpose of which is a spot the difference to other pictures that I have posted.
I wonder how long it will take people to notice the difference please post your suggestions as comments on this post and lets see who is the first to get the right answer? You may need to post anonymously as certain people have been having problems with comments on the blog just add your name at the end of the comment.Good luck!!
As you can also see I am really happy and I hope it will not be to much longer before the doctors agree that is time for me to have a bit of time back home.
The process is far from over now as the monitoring process starts now to make sure that the organs are kept in good condition and initially I will be travelling to hospital as often as twice a week for checks on medication levels and other checks which will continue for the rest of my life.
At present Harefields Hospital has 1200 people who are receiving follow-up care after transplant the longest being about 20 years post transplant the club here is called the hamster club hence the hamster on the bottom of the blog if you haven't seen it, scroll down to the bottom of this screen and give it some of its food.
I am so happy to be joining them as one of the next generation!
Please don't forget if you have any questions I also have a formspring form at the bottom of the blog where you can ask any transplant related questions you have. if I don't know I will try to find out.
You can ask me something about how I feel about the transplant if you like although I might not know at this stage as the whole thing is new to me!
No Cannula! Off O2? Great.
No o2 and looking incredibly PINK. That's one of the first things I noticed about Lucy after her heart tx - her colour.
I remember being just a bit nervous when mine first went...Now it's hard to remember what it was like.
Well I had my first cataract op..I didn't realise how bad my sight had got..Don't know what I was worried about..20mins and it was all over..Now I can't wait to get the other eye done!!
Keep up the good work...You really are looking good..
Mark, I am so happy to see that you are off the oxygen tank and smiling bright. I continue to pray for Gods healing hand in your recovery process. Your blog really does change lives. Please keep writing.

Q: Question about the geometry of statistical model $P(X)$ I am reading "Methods of information geometry by Shun-ichi Amari"
and I got the following doubt
Let $X$ be a finite set and $P(X)=\{p:X\to\mathbb{R}/p(x)>0 \forall x\in X,\int p(x)dx=1\}$
which in turn is a subset of all all $\mathbb{R}$ valued function on $X$ denoted by $\mathbb{R}^X=\{A/A:X\to\mathbb{R}\}$
I have doubts about the following statements below
(1)The tangent space $T_{p}P$ considered as an element of $A_{0}=\{A/\sum_{x}A(x)=0\}$
(2) When a tangent vector $X\in T_{p}(P) \text{ is considered as an element of } A_{0} \text{ we denote it by } X^{m} \text{ and call it the mixture representation of } X$ and write as,
$$T_{p}^{(m)}(P)=\{X^{(m)}/X\in T_{p}(P)\}=A_{0}....(1)$$
Can someone explain how these two statements are defined,what they mean, How $(1)=A_{0},$I am confused about this, Thanks.

Q: How to escape a semicolon in Presto The data table is testtable:
col

x;y

p;q

m;n

I've tried:
SELECT split(col,'\;') FROM testtable
SELECT split(col,'\\;') FROM testtable
SELECT split(col,'\;' ESCAPE '\') FROM testtable

to split the col, but none of codes above worked in Presto. Anyone knows how to escape the semicolon in Presto?

A: You actually dont need to escape ;
presto> SELECT split('aaa;bbb',';');
   _col0
------------
 [aaa, bbb]
(1 row)

presto> SELECT split('aaa;bbb',';')[1], split('aaa;bbb',';')[2];
 _col0 | _col1
-------+-------
 aaa   | bbb
(1 row)

if your intention is to have each entry as row, you ll need something like that (untested)
SELECT split_values
FROM testtable
CROSS JOIN UNNEST(SPLIT(col,';')) AS t (split_values)


Discussion in 'Networking & NAS' started by Saul Goodman, Dec 11, 2016.
I've got about 20 Cat6 and Coax pre-wired to various rooms.
I believe I should be looking for something like a 9U rack, patch panel and Gigabit switch?
I also have a Synology DS215j Nas system.
You'll need to expand on the 'pre-wired' cable bit because you're asking about a patch panel... Are the cables installed already? If you've not already done so, where are you planning on terminating all your cables? Why do you think you need a cab, they're not always necessary at home? The number of live devices plus a few spares will determine what size switch you need (8, 12, 16, 24 ports for example).
All cables have been installed already by my electrician during the first fix. All bedrooms, sun room, cinema room, living room, study have 2 Cat6 cables and coax(most have them on each side of the room too). All wired from a walking cupboard in the study.
I did at first look for a wall mounted patch panel but the only one I found was more expensive than buying a small cabinet. Initially cat6 will only be using for wired internet in each room but I added extras in case I want to send video in future.
It appears that from what you have mentioned that you will only need housing for the patch panel & switch; correct? So why the 9u rack? A 24 port patch panel & switch would be your best solution.
You mentioned coax cables which I am guessing would be terminated at an amplifier which you would then have to obtain a tray for if you were using a rack and it may not be the best solution.
In my case I have a 24 port panel & switch, bought a 4/6U rack and it was taking up for too much space in the bottom of a built-in wardrobe. So I built a 2U rack out of timber and my NAS seats ontop of it.
Sorry I meant to type 6u. Yeh, I'm not sure how/where to house the coax amplifier.
As RS6 says above, a 24 way patch panel (£20-£30) will be fine (I'm guessing around 16 cables) and then a 12 or 24 port switch depending on how many live devices you have. No need for a cabinet if you can rig up some kind mount for the PP and switch, which should be quite easy.
For basic switches you could look at Netgear, TPLink and HP.
Thanks for the advice guys. No, my sparky covered all cables with protective casing before any plastering work.
And were they definitely not CCA ??
Going back to the plastering, my brother inlaw has done similar and his sparky didn't install casing around the cables apart from where he was having a scratch finish. Are his cables likely to be damaged now?
They may or may not be "damaged," but any nicks and such like in the sheathing or crushing of the cable could eat in to the performance which may mean they fail cat6 performance criteria.
The installations requirements to achieve cat6 and better are much more stringent than lower "cats." There is much more to achieving the higher "cats" of install than simply buying the appropriated cable (though of course that's a factor,) faceplates, patch panels, etc. The higher cats require a greater level of care and diligence in materials, containment and installation practice. If you want to scare yourself silly, have a read of the following... Installation Pitfalls in Cat6 Cabling | Automated Home.
Strictly speaking most DIY installs are not "cat" anything as most DIY'ers don't test with the rather expensive test gear needed to certify the install. But that doesn't mean they don't "work" for lower bandwidth applications such as ethernet. However, something with higher bandwidth requirements - I'm speculating what, but maybe HDMI and for sure 10GBit ethernet may trip up.
It always invites the question, "if one is not going to install and test to cat6, why bother and instead use cat5e." But the counter argument is that since the price difference between cat5e and cat6 is so low these days, you "may as well" deploy cat6 even if you're not planning to properly test and certify it and (essentially) "hope for the best."
In terms of "equipment", I have recently replaced my router with a thin client running IPFire (which I have started a new thread about).
I don't have any links with the IPFire project, but am quite impressed. Since your setup seems quite "serious", I thought I would mention that as an option.
Chaps , do I really need a patch panel?
What's the advantage using one rather than all cat6 cables going straight in to a switch?
Solid cored cable is supposed to terminate onto IDCs which means patch panel or modules. Plugs are possible but a pain. Solid core can break eventually due to fatigue, it's not supposed to be moved much after installation. PP keeps things neat too, then just use bought patch leads for connecting devices.
Question New Build- What to fit?


We currently know little of the role of the corporate human resource (HR) function in multinational corporations regarding global talent management (GTM). GTM is explored here from two perspectives: increasing global competition for talent, and new forms of international mobility. The first considers the mechanisms of GTM, and the second, individual willingness to be mobile, especially in emerging markets, and the organizational capability needed to manage this talent. New corporate HR roles are identified which show how these issues might be addressed. We then advance our understanding of GTM theory and practice by considering the major future challenges facing corporate HR.

Time to Change the Music?
"Don't you think you sound like a broken record? Don't you think it's time to change the music? Don't you think it's time to get unstuck? It's time to be free" MCKS
Everyday is a brand new day, never lived before and one you will never have again. Are you making the the most of it or are you replaying the same record over and over and over again?
Do you waste time watching television or mindlessly surfing the web, putting things off and then wishing you had more time to do the things you need to do?
Are you going around and around in circles in your life, not moving forward, not trying new activities and passing up opportunities that could open up brand new chapters?
What's stopping you from making changes in your life and living the life of your dreams?
You may be surprised how quickly you can change all areas of your life – simply by being aware of your thoughts and thinking differently.
"I don't like Mondays" is often repeated around the world on a Sunday night. Why do we view this day differently to a any other? It is still a day with 24 hours in it, a day to be lived to its fullest. It just has a different name.
By simply changing your thoughts around something, you can change your life.
Is now the time for you to change the music.
