And people start returning the bikes to stock - can you imagine the cost..?
People will realise that the bikes were brilliant as they were, and that these 'customs' are no flippin' use for anything more than popping out for a skinny latte.
Also, as many owners of R series 'customs' have found, resale values are terrible, especially compared to the amount of money some people are paying unscrupulous purveyors of said 'customs'.
If I want to defile my bike into a skinny latte delivery system whose business is it but my own? They'll have to pry my cold, dead fingers from my angle grinder to stop me.
I've never had a haircut that cost more than $10 or a pedicure.
The fanciest designer labels I wear are Carhartt and Woolrich.
So, please bear with me when I ask, WTF is a latte? Is that something they drink up in them Green Mountains of Vermont?

It's what the people who run Carhartt and Woolrich drink during meetings.

So we have these Coffee houses on just about every corner here in California. Because regular black coffee is just too harsh on these precious snowflakes, they invented the Latte..an over sugared, over flavored coffee based drink that people flock to in the AM hours.
The big joke is that people go out and buy the biggest nastiest over farkled BMW R-1200GS and ride it to Starbucks, all dressed in ATGATT to meet with their friends sip on a latte. Looks like they are about to ride around the world, but no. Think Harley "biker" but replace the bar with Starbucks.
Posers. Good for a laugh.
Best description I heard of for a Latte, given in a derogatory tone by a waitress in a country was "A cappuccino without the froth". There's no sugar and no flavour involved. Flavouring in coffee seems a very american/starbucks thng. Starbucks failed to take hold in Australia, you can get a decent espresso at any corner cafe. There was no demand for their weak flavoured "coffee", they closed about 95% of the shops that they opened.
Most cafe conversions will only end up parts supplies I'm afraid, other than the person that built it who wants it? The prices that are being asked are ridiculous. There's a rare good one but they are rare.

Section 16: MA 2, Erving "Farley" to Gulf Road, Northfield via Hermit Mountain, Erving State Forest and Crag Mountain
published by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 07/18/2012 - 11:26am
The trail climbs steeply from the village of Farley in the shadow of the high cliffs of Rattlesnake Mountain. It follows the beautiful hemlock shaded ravine of Briggs Brook, next to it's tumbling cascades. From here it proceeds northeast on the ridge and ledges of Hermit Mountain named after "the Hermit" who once lived at a site on its south slope, now accessible by a blue-blazed side trail built by SCA/AmeriCorps in 1998. The M-M Trail rises high above the Millers River Valley offering views southward along the way. It then turns north through Erving State Forest.
The portion that traversed Crag Mt. has been temporarily relocated to South Mountain Road and Gulf Road (due to landowner request).
This is one of the more interesting sections of the trail in Massachusetts.
Note: Backpackers should consider Briggs Brook and Packard Brook to the east as contaminated water sources. Both brooks receive seepage from the nearby Northfield Mountain pumped storage power generation facility, which draws its water from the Connecticut River. Drinking water from these brooks must be filtered, boiled, or chemically treated.
The 46 acre trailhead parcel on Gulf Rd in Northfield was purchased and protected by the Mt. Grace Land Conservation Trust in 2005.

Mark Cavendish on his new approach to life: From Issue 116 - Mind
Mark Cavendish has spent 16 seasons at the very top of his sport, and he's
still motivated to find more success
Words: Amy Sedghi
Photos: LeBlanq
This is an abridged version of an article originally published in Issue 116 of Rouleur. Subscribe today to read in full and support our journalism.
One of the first things you notice when you meet Mark Cavendish is how softly spoken he is. Arriving at the airport as we head out to Ibiza for a weekend of riding with high-end cycling/foodie destination company LeBlanq, who offer what they describe as 'curated breaks for the cycling gourmand', the 34-time Tour de France stage winner slips into the back of the crowd at the boarding gate unnoticed. As other passengers jostle trying to get ahead in the queue, Cavendish looks out from under his cap and quietly says, "Hello."
Later, as we sit on a sun-soaked terrace looking out to the sea, I ask him if that shyness is something which surprises people. "Maybe," he replies. "People take a perception of my personality based on what they see on TV. When you're talking after a period of exertion – in my case, a race – you're going to get different responses." Is he an introvert? "Yeah...I wasn't always," he admits. "I had some issues a few years ago and I've lacked a little bit of confidence since then, I guess. Like, you lack the confidence, a little bit, of being who you are."
Cavendish is referring to his personal struggles with mental illness, of which he has spoken openly in the past. In August 2018, he was diagnosed with clinical depression. It followed a tough period for the Manx rider, who'd been battling fatigue after having suffered from the Epstein-Barr virus in early 2017. There was also a string of injuries: the infamous Sagan incident at the 2017 Tour de France, crashing out at both the Abu Dhabi Tour and Tirreno-Adriatico the following season and a horrendous crash into a bollard during the final kilometres of Milan-San-Remo that left him with a fractured rib, bruising and abrasions.
While he's spoken about his experience of depression candidly in past interviews – and has expressed his desire to raise awareness of the topic – Cavendish admits that talking about his mental health can put him in a "dark place" for a couple of days. Not wanting to push him towards that, I say we can talk about anything he wants and there is no desire to press him on anything he's uncomfortable with. "You know, I really appreciate that," he says with genuine sincerity. "I mean, like you saying that, it's human."
Read more: Will Mark Cavendish ever reach 35 stage wins?
Being frequently asked to analyse himself is something Cavendish is used to, but that doesn't mean it's easy, he stresses. "I'd rather be honest than just recite something. I know a lot of sportspeople do that: they just say what they think people want them to say and that's not fair for a fan." But laying yourself out there and digging deep into your psyche can wear you down, he acknowledges.
"I've analysed myself because...I get asked about it. That's the only way I can compartmentalise it," he explains. "It's not an easy thing to do. It's not a normal thing to do and it almost takes you out of it. They forget you're a human. To do that, you're an object that has to describe why they do something. I think when you look deeper than just on the surface of someone saying, 'Why do you do this?' it's actually quite..." he pauses, trying to find the right words. "It can be quite draining, you know? Quite intrusive...no matter how innocent it is."
He's quick to point out that he understands it comes with the territory of being a professional athlete and he's not complaining. Rather he's trying to explain. He's trying to give a glimpse into his life and mind. He sits forward and gestures towards me: "Imagine someone asked you every day to analyse your own personality and what you do." It would take a real toll, I reply. "But it's my job. I have a good life, it's part of the job, so I do it."

It's been a surreal few days during which Cavendish and I catch up. LeBlanq have laid on sun-drenched rides around the party island of Ibiza, which have been dotted with cortados at beachside cafes and glasses of juicy fresh lemonade at Calvin Harris's organic farm. Rumours that one of the Chemical Brothers is cycling alongside us in the LeBlanq group have turned out to be true, while our final night brings out Pete Tong (a keen cyclist himself) for an intimate, and very sweaty, DJ set. Cavendish, perhaps embracing his inner raver, bounces up to the decks and waves his hands in the air with a huge grin as he dances alongside friends and TV cycling presenters Matt Stephens, Adam Blythe and Orla Chennaoui, who also happen to be on the trip.
To note that Cavendish is a complex individual is possibly the least ground-breaking observation to offer up, but it's an important one to keep in mind. Often in media coverage, Cavendish has been depicted as moody, brusque and impatient, and while there may be truth to that, he's also generous, funny and far more approachable than you might at first think. Get him talking about a subject he enjoys and he'll happily chat away, smiling and engaged. But on the flipside, you quickly know when you're edging towards a topic he'd rather not get into. Assume you know what he's thinking and he closes up; ask a foolish question and the bluntness emerges. But again, tell him about your latest achievement, however small, and he's full of encouraging praise. Don't take yourself too seriously and he cracks a grin.
But Cavendish isn't wasting time over what people think of him. Putting it in a characteristically Cavendish way, he says, "Sometimes you think it's not fair that someone doesn't understand who I am, but then you think if someone is going to comment on your personality and they don't know you, it's probably not worth caring about what they think, anyway."
Cavendish is more than familiar with drowning out negative commentary. After he'd had a run of disappointing seasons following health issues, crashes and not making the cut-off on stage 11 of the 2018 Tour de France, some wrote off the former world champion. But as his friend and former GB team-mate Blythe has put it in the past: "As soon as you write him off, that's when Mark bounces back."
LeBlanq
LeBlanq is the brainchild of Justin Clarke, a former professional cyclist and founder of the Taste of London food festival, and Michelin-starred chef Ashley Palmer-Watts (formerly of Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck). The company fuses world-class dining with envy-inducing rides in beautiful locations.
In the UK, destinations have ranged from the bucolic Yorkshire Dales and Scottish Highlands to the Isle of Wight, while overseas spots, such as the Champagne region in France and the rugged backdrop of Norway have also played host to the brand's mix of gastronomy and riding with cycling legends.
The roster of riders (Eddy Merckx, Chris Hoy, Bradley Wiggins, Johan Museeuw) is as impressive as the chefs cooking the guests' post-ride meals: Angela Hartnett, Tom Kitchin, Nieves Barragán.

Q: How to terminate a pod if one of containers exits with error? I'm not sure if this is considered to be a best practice, but for ease of management I have created a Deployment that consists of 2 containers (Api Event server and Api server). Api server can send events that need to be processed by Api Event server and returned back. It is easier for me to manage these on in one pod to allow localhost access between them and not worry about defining ClusterIP services for all my environments.
One of my concerns is that if say Api Event server exits with error, pod will still be active as Api server continues to run. Is there a way to tell kubernetes to terminate a pod if one of it's containers fails?
Here is my deployment, here only port 8080 is exposed to the public via LoadBalancer service. Perhaps I can somehow add liveliness and readiness probe to both of these?

Now reading: Tomatoes Lower Stroke Risk
Tomatoes Lower Stroke Risk
Botanically a fruit and culinarily a vegetable, the tomato belongs to the nightshade family, a group that includes potatoes, eggplants, paprika, chili peppers, tobacco and petunias. These plants are known for possessing a wide range of chemicals called alkaloids, some of which have medicinal or toxic properties. Among the common alkaloids are nicotine, cocaine, morphine and quinine. It's the alkaloids in hot peppers that burn. The amount in nightshade foods is vastly different from that in the others of the family. Although it's good to know that cooking reduces alkaloids by half, the ultra-sensitive among us may still have an uncomfortable reaction. For this reason we avoid the green spots and the eyes of a potato, where the heaviest concentrations are. It is believed, but not definitive, that food plant alkaloids may contribute to joint damage caused by inflammation and altered mineral status. Speculation suggests that nightshade alkaloids move calcium from bone and deposit it in soft tissue, thus adding to the discomfort of arthritis and other joint problems, like gout (Childers, 1993) (Slanina, 1990). From a gustatory perspective, we are elated to announce that tomato, eggplant and pepper alkaloid content is extremely low, in contrast to that of green potatoes and plant parts other than the tuber, the poisoning from which is rare (Friedman, 1997) (Davis, 2006).
Most of us can enjoy a daily dose of tomatoes, either in pasta sauces and juices, on sandwiches and salads, as soup or as dried… or even as ketchup. Tomatoes are not only low-cal and low-fat, but also high in anti-oxidants, especially lycopene, a carotenoid that protects the cardiovascular system from damaging free radicals. Although lycopene is chemically a carotene, it has no vitamin A activity because it cannot be converted to that vitamin. But that's all right because its other virtues are to be heralded. Lycopene gives the tomato—and watermelon—its red color. As an intermediate working inside the plant, it helps in the manufacture of other carotenoids, including beta-carotene, a vitamin A precursor. Lycopene isn't an essential nutrient, but it sure is nice to have it in the diet, where it accumulates in the liver, adrenals and testes, and is found to help reduce (prostate) cancer risk (Giovannucci, 1995, 2002), to ameliorate the ravages of cardiovascular diseases by capturing free radicals (DiMascio, 1989), to mitigate osteoporosis and, now, to prevent stroke (Karppi, 2012).
Karppi and colleagues found that those with the highest values of lycopene in their blood were fifty-five percent less likely to suffer a stroke than those with the lowest. More than one thousand men between ages 46 and 65 participated in the study for an average of twelve years. From that group, 25 out of 258 men with the least lycopene had a stroke, while 11 of 259 with the highest levels suffered. After looking at stroke caused by a blood clot, the results were stronger. Those whose lycopene values were the greatest were fifty-nine percent less likely to have a stroke.
Blood vessels are part of the cardiovascular system. Any substance that can inhibit clogging the roadways is worth investigating. Medical literature shows that oxidized low-density lipoprotein is the most important first step of atherosclerotic disease and, therefore, the first step of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events that include myocardial infarction and stroke. Scavenging singlet oxygen, which is the main player of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) that oxidize LDL, is a primary function of carotenoid anti-oxidants. Including these protective molecules in one's diet to decrease LDL oxidation and adverse consequences is a prudent measure (Giordano, 2012). The carotid arteries of the neck carry blood to the head. Their thickness can be measured by an external ultrasound. By tracking thickness changes, doctors can determine the presence of, and evaluate the progression of, the atherosclerotic process. It is worth noting, though, that not all thickening is due to atherosclerosis. Finnish scientists discovered that men with the least carotid artery wall thickening also had the highest concentrations of carotenoids, including lycopene and cryptoxanthin (a relative of beta-carotene), leading to the conclusion that carotenoids such as lycopene are associated with decreased risk of carotid atherosclerosis (Karppi, 2011). Even earlier study found that low levels of lycopene are associated with higher danger of atherosclerotic vascular episodes (Rissanen, 2001).
Generally, a diet high in fruits and vegetables affords resolution to more physical problems than we pay attention to. Nutrition plays a significant role in the prevention of many chronic diseases. Plants contain substances that we have yet to discover. As for those substances about which we know a little, we know only a little and cannot ascertain the value of a single molecule without considering those molecules that may act synergistically. It has been established that patients who have suffered an ischemic stroke display markers associated with serious inflammation (Chang, 2005), and that attenuation of such may be realized in the presence of carotenoids, lycopene included. Some studies link oil-based tomato products, as seen in pizza and pasta sauces, with cardiovascular benefits (Sesso, 2003), while others see any tomato-rich foods as preventive (Rissanen, 2002).
Knowing that tomatoes can help to prevent serious disease is not a license to pile your rye bread high with processed cold cuts, such as re-amalgamated ham and ersatz cheese, slathered with hydrogenated mayonnaise, joined by super-saline pickles, chips and salads on the side. Now that you have some direction, see where it goes.

Audiences can thank local playwright Robert Flaherty Hart for penning this fresh drama and director Tina Morrison for bringing it to life.
While the drama brings out the best and worst in family dynamics, there are moments for the audience to laugh. Tina hopes the audience can "take away a sense of forgiveness" and "look around at their own families and remember that time is fleeting and that the time to communicate to the people we love is now." In addition to making her return to OCTA, Tina works as a substitute teacher in the Lee's Summit School District, is an assistant director for Lakewood Middle School, and is a mother of two.
Audiences will also enjoy four talented actors: Stasha Case (Karen), David Martin (Jeff), Matt Leonard (Richie), and Michael Juncker (Charlie). The show's staff includes: Tina Morrison (director), DK Evenson (stage manager), Philip Leonard (lighting design), Kate Haugan (properties design), Michael Bunn (sound design), RickL Riley (set design), Mickie Riley (set design), Marla Gonzalez (run crew), and Bill Case, Max DeShon, Larry Goodman, Ken Schmidt, and Deb Hodge (set construction). Catch this compelling new drama before it closes March 5.
Listen to our 90.1 FM KKFI interview with Michael Hogge at http://www.kkfi.org/program/arts-magazine/. Additionally, audiences can learn more about the process of bringing this show to life and the art of playwriting at three post-show talkbacks with the playwright guest-hosted by local playwrights: Michelle T. Johnson (Feb 19), Ron Simonian (Feb 24), and Victor Wishna (March 4).

Q: Ada Constraint_error invalid enumeration value Im so close to finishing this lab I can taste it. I realize my Ada code is very novice as I just began working with it this semester. The error seems to persist at location 19 when I try to use 'put' on mainStk at said location. Im wondering why i cannot get access to mainStk(19) as this is what seems to be the issue.
This is the error code

This Cabernet Sauvignon was gently crushed and underwent a long fermentation with daily pumpovers to extract the full potential of flavors in the grape skins. After pressing, barrel aging began in October and continued through malolactic fermentation to develop flavors. This wine laid to rest for 18 months in 60% French oak and 40% American oak. A touch of Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Petite Verdot were blended in to lift and balance the powerful flavors of Cabernet Sauvignon from Betsy's vineyard.

Cowboy stories in the rainbow kitchen
bread talks
Photo by Taylor Plett | The Chronicle

Taylor:
You haven't met Professor Melissa Malouf until you've met her house. The fiction writer has colored herself into the place like an abstract artist composes a self-portrait; its appointments are vibrant and unrestrained, personal, jolly in the utmost.
Taylor Plett
The front door is hot pink. In the kitchen, she picks colors out of her greenish-rainbow linoleum flooring and throws them about the room—into plates, wallpaper, those armchairs she pulled off the street and reupholstered. A coil of Christmas lights twinkles in the fireplace like it's the portal to a fairy world.
I first visited the Malouf cottage on Monmouth Ave. two years ago during our fiction class's holiday fête. A few weeks back, I was her partyguest again when the topic of conversation turned to her spring retirement date. In the kaleidoscope kitchen, I wondered aloud whether I'd ever see the place again. She asked if I might like to come over and cook sometime—and, oh, had I ever tried her pancake soufflé?
Margot:
When we walk through that pink front door, the air is thick already with the smell of hot butter, made fuller by a note of nutmeg. Malouf, the consummate hostess, has set a gorgeous spread before us: bowls of fresh berries, orange juice and—stunningly craggy in a cast-iron skillet—the pancake soufflé itself, which turns out to be a Dutch Baby.

It looks like a crater on Mars, she says. She cuts three pieces, produces a bowl of warm syrup—"Ladies, always heat your syrup"—and lets it run in little rivers over the bubbled surface of her slice. When I ask for powdered sugar, she presents it immediately, with a silver-plated spoon to boot. Between the velvety yellow of egg yolk and butter, the berries and the light dusting of sugar-snow, the dish is shot through with dazzling color.
It's clear Prof. Malouf relishes surrounding herself with the rainbow's full gamut: on her breakfast plate, in her home and in the people who fill it. Her partner of over 20 years is the prominent Irish literary critic Denis Donoghue, whose daughter Emma wrote the novel Room and its Oscar-nominated screenplay. And though she keeps a bevy of academics, artists and humanitarians close, her "most fabulous" dinner guest was Joan Didion.
Melissa Malouf can tell a good story because she knows about people. Well, she knows about most everything. We learn this while whipping up another pancake soufflé.
For each Republican faculty member in Pratt and Trinity, there are nearly 13 Democrats. Is this a 'crisis'?

The last resident of Campus Drive
So here's Melissa Malouf on...
"Here are all these ingredients, and if I put them together I can make something, unlike with writing, where all the pieces are in my head and the paper starts out blank. It's just like with gardening, where you can say, 'this bush is beautifully trimmed' and just be done. And meanwhile I've been working on this paragraph since last night and it's still not done."
Among Malouf's most memorable dishes are her Lebanese grandmother's tabbouleh and a 25-spice pork whose sheer potency sent poor Denis Donoghue to the ER.
On the disarmingly rugged Tommy Thompson, who swaggered onto the ranch when she was a 14-year-old riding student: "He gave me a ring made out of a horseshoe nail and said 'I want you to marry me, and I want you to stay a virgin for the next five years.' And I said, 'Okay.' And then I said, 'I need to call my mom.'"
(Afterwards, they enjoyed a coffee date while her mother watched from the parking lot. The engagement didn't last.)
On her more recent partner, the Irish academic: "One of the things I learned from Denis is that he thinks that women are just such awesome and important creatures, way more than men. And I remember thinking, 'Okay, I like this one.'"
"Never marry [a man] until he's at least 30," because (in a hushed, confiding tone) "the boys are more grown up then."
"If I'm by myself, I'm okay. You don't ever want to be in a position where you have to stay with a guy because he's the only one who pays the rent."
The Creative Process:
An assistant professorship in Houston—"just a terrible appointment"—left her low, lonely, and struggling to fictionalize a certain cowboy named Tommy Thompson. Miserable, she wrote on a sticky note, "I just have to live with this lump in my throat."
And there it was: the inspiration. Her next protagonist was himself a storyteller who can hardly choke out his words for the physical lump in his throat. When he hacks the thing up, it turns out to be a magical seed, which grows into a tree bearing fruits of every kind.
On which aspect of her life today would most surprise 20-year-old Melissa: "the fact that I'm still alive."
Did she think there was a reason she'd been kept on Earth this long?
"What an interesting question! Of course, I would say, because I've been able for the last 25 years to have this extraordinary partner in my life, who is fun and kind and sumptuous. So that's just been a real gift to me, really great."
"It's all part of a long conversation—you're dipping your oar into the whole river, going back as far as your reading goes back. So I could write something like 'Alas, poor Margot' in a short story and participate in that tradition."
"Experience bioluminescence. It's really important."
Take her word for that one.
And before we go, here's the recipe, which Malouf has been making since 1966. It's simple; we got it together well enough even while dreaming of a sinuous Tommy Thompson riding the land.
So, mix:
1 pinch nutmeg
in a bowl and leave a little lumpy.
Then melt half a stick of butter in a 12-inch skillet. When all that fat is piping hot, pour in your batter (carefully!) and slide the thing into the oven at 425.
15-20 minutes later, it's puffed to new heights and golden brown. Remove, and top it as you like.
We're sure you won't forget to heat your syrup.
Correction: a previous version of this story misspelled "Donoghue" and incorrectly referred to the cowboy Tommy Thompson as "Johnny Johnson."

So we all probably know what a hang drum is, what it does, and just how much of a great instrument it is. We also know that a Hang drum is not your average typical drum, since it is most played either on a player's lap or left suspended in air, hanging while the player beats down some amazing idiophone tunes.
The only thing left now is where to purchase this amazing instrument. Most people might not know this, but Hang Drums are actually very popular and are currently available on the official Hang Drum website where you can place your order on their homepage, your local instrument store, or can be purchased on other online stores, most specifically online shopping websites like Amazon and eBay.
Keep in mind that these Hang Drums that are available are assorted, which means the good ones and the bad ones are all grouped together, implying that a potential buyer needs to first know about the best qualities that a Hang Drum possesses before they actually purchase it.
The Best Hang Drums are out there, but it needs a clever eye and keen attention to detail in order for someone to be able to distinguish them from the fake, bad ones. Hang Drums are made with perfection and balance. The real quality ones are made delicately and perfectly, which is why potential buyers need to keep a good eye on even the small things in order to accurately choose the best Hang Drum.
Here are some qualities of the best Hang Drums that you need to consider: Durability, quality of steel, type of Hang Drum you are looking for, the Price, the finish, and of course the feel. Keep in mind that brand doesn't matter, as every brand producing hang drums uses almost the same procedures in making the instrument.
Times are changing and while back in the day people chose to visit a Supermarket or a grocery store in order to ensure that they have all the ingredients required to prepare food on a regular basis these days people do not have time and they spend most of their time at work which leaves them with very little space in order for them to visit these grocery stores. If you are able to prepare a home cooked meal on a regular basis but you can't find time to visit a grocery store all you need to do is download the online shopping app where you can purchase ingredients over the Internet without having to struggle too much. One of the major benefits of purchasing your ingredients over the Internet is that you no longer need iphone lists.
This is because they way they sort the ingredients and you can always cross check whether or not you've included everything you need. You can browse through the various categories and check out multiple ingredients so you never usually miss out on anything and in case there's something that you always and it is out of stock you can always to replace it with another brand.
The benefit of shopping online is that you end up saving on a lot of money because there are a number of middlemen that are eliminated and this means that you get higher quality ingredients at lower prices. One is the best things about shopping over the Internet is that it is hassle free, time saving and also convenient. Many of them deliver to your doorstep on the very same day so you don't really need to stress about purchasing your ingredients days in advance in order to ensure that it reaches your home at the right time.

DISPATCH FROM BARRE, VERMONT
Headstone Carvers Find Ages of the Fallen Hard to Take at Times
Mixed in with stones for World War II or Korea veterans at Granite Industries
are markers for the Iraq war's young casualties.
By Elizabeth Mehren, Times Staff Writer
BARRE, Vermont — In a cavernous factory in central Vermont, it fell to Ben Smith to render the final honor for Michael Yury Tarlavsky.
The Army Captain's father and grandfather had been soldiers in Russia, and Tarlavsky continued the tradition by enlisting straight out of college. He had risen to the rank of Captain in the Special Forces, fought in Afghanistan and was on his second tour in Iraq last month when his unit came under fire in Najaf. Three hours before the attack, he had instant-messaged his sister to say he was in safe territory: "Tell Father, tell everybody, I am all right."
But all Smith knew as he sandblasted the inscription onto a 232-pound of white Vermont marble was that Tarlavsky was 30 years old when he died August 12, 2004.
"That's awful young," said Smith, 29, a buzzer and finisher at Granite Industries of Vermont. "We see the names of guys who have fought in World War II, Korea, Vietnam. But guys like this, they're fighting right now and dying right now."
As part of a $3-million contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs, Granite Industries will produce about 20,000 upright marble headstones this year for government cemeteries. Most memorialize veterans of World War II, who are dying at a rate of about 1,100 a day.
Some are replacement stones honoring soldiers as far back as the Civil War, such as Leigh R. Terrell, a member of the 47th Alabama Infantry who died October 21, 1864. Terrell's headstone was scheduled to be carved right after Tarlavsky's.
But with the U.S. casualty count in Iraq passing 1,000 last week, the weekly headstone orders at Granite Industries lately have included a half-dozen or so for men and women killed there. Workers on the "government line" never know how a soldier died. They just know that every U.S. veteran deserves the dignity of a proper headstone.
Wearing goggles, gloves and custom earplugs, Smith and his co-workers produce at least 400 veterans' markers each week. They inspect them for flaws, pack them into cardboard boxes and ship them off by flatbed truck to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia and other government burial grounds.
Their days are noisy, dusty and busy, affording little occasion to reflect on the lives that pass before them. Yet Smith said the names of those killed in Iraq stand out: "They feel more real."
Along with firms in Georgia and Mississippi, Granite Industries is one of three companies nationwide that manufacture about 63,000 white marble grave markers for members of the armed services. According to the National Cemetery Administration, a government agency, about 1,800 U.S. veterans die each day.
Some veterans' cemeteries permit granite headstones, also provided by the government. Others use markers that lie at ground level. But each year, about 60,000 veterans are buried in cemeteries that only allow white marble headstones.
The contractors divide their headstone deliveries geographically. Granite Industries handles the Northeast and is the sole provider of marble headstones for Arlington National Cemetery. The 107-year-old firm also produces all the marble markers for Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipients. Veterans' headstones represent about a third of the company's $10-million annual sales.
(Granite Industries also has supplied and inscribed the black granite for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington. The firm created a national monument at Arlington out of granite for the Pentagon victims of the September 11 attacks, and recently shipped an additional granite 9/11 monument to New York City.)
The company gets the 20- to 40-ton slabs of marble for its headstones from a quarry in nearby Danby, Vermont, that lies 920 feet underground and 1 1/4 miles into a mountain. Inside the factory, a row of power saws operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week — methodically using blades 10 to 12 feet in diameter to slice the marble into 4-inch-thick slabs.
When fully shaped, the gravestones will measure 13 inches wide by 4 inches thick by 42 inches high. The bottom 18 inches will sit in the ground. The top will curve gently.
The stones are lifted 12 at a time by radio-controlled cranes that dangle from the 28-foot ceilings. The stacks are moved across the 57,000-square-foot building to a machine that, in 45 seconds, grinds the oval tops. Stone-cutter Sefkija Osmanovic, 57, scrutinizes each stone before it is sent for inscription.
"These people who have lost their lives — maybe in World War II, Korea, Vietnam and now Iraq — well, Americans have been involved in many wars," said Osmanovic, a former geography teacher from Bosnia who spent three years in a Serbian concentration camp.
Government policies that allot a free headstone to the family of any deceased veteran also provide for a small degree of personalization on the grave markers — names of grandchildren, a Bible passage, a paean to a hobby.
In a tiny office behind the veterans' headstone line, Linda Beaudin, 53, is in charge of preparing those inscriptions.
She consults the e-mails that provide names and vital information for the headstones, entering the data into a computer graphics program. The information then is sent to a printer that chugs out a thick rubber stencil, precisely the size of the gravestone.
"I have been doing this for almost 19 years," Beaudin said, oblivious to the layer of dust that coats every surface around her and the stone chips that crunch underfoot. "I guess you get to the point where you just do them. But once in a while, you recognize young ages — 19, 20, 21 years old. That makes you stop and think."
The stencil is placed on the headstone, then the whole thing is run through a machine that sandblasts the inscriptions into the marble. Next, the stencil-covered marker is sprayed with indelible paint to blacken the inscription against the white stone.
Depending on the cemetery where the headstones will be sent, the markers must be received at the burial ground within 10 to 20 days of the initial order.
Michael Tarlavsky's headstone soon will be in place at Arlington National Cemetery, where he was buried late last month.
Jeff Martell, who owns Granite Industries, took a walk through the factory, pausing when he saw Tarlavsky's stone.
"Unfortunately, the reality is we are losing people every day over there," he said. "You want to do your best for them."

New Authenticity Rules Aiming To Remove Sub-Standard Basmati Rice From The Market
December 30, 2022 7:16 AM By Steve Wynne-Jones
Basmati is the most popular speciality rice in the UK, adding extra flavour and subtlety to everything from curries to pilafs to kedgerees. Nearly three-quarters of the world's basmati is produced in India, and the UK buys 3% of it – plus substantial amounts from the second-largest producer, Pakistan.
All has not been well with this delicious staple, however. A huge number of newly cultivated varieties have been permitted in the UK and EU since 2017, and some have turned out to be sub-standard, lacking the unique popcorn-like fragrance that helps to make this rice so sought after.
New rules are being introduced at the beginning of 2023 that aim to take these lesser varieties of basmati off the market. So will this solve the problem?
Basmati Rice Origins
Basmati rice has been cultivated for thousands of years in the fertile alluvial plains between the Indus and Ganges rivers. To qualify as basmati, grains must meet certain standards related to things like fragrance, grain length and width, as well as cooked texture. They must also have a mid-range level of amylose, a part of the starch in rice.
Fraudsters nevertheless became notorious for cutting basmati with lesser rice grains, drawn by the fact that it is up to 50% more expensive per kilo. Several decades ago, it wasn't uncommon for imported basmati to be more than 50% impure.
To get around this problem, the UK Rice Association introduced a code of practice in 2005. Also followed across the EU, the code specified that basmati could be no more than 7% impure, as well as introducing a list of 15 permitted varieties: nine traditional ones that could be imported duty free and a further six that were modern cultivars.
Bangor University devised the system of DNA fingerprinting that is used to enforce the code and has sometimes led to prosecutions for infringements.
Modern Cultivars
The system worked well until 2017, when the code was updated to add 25 new modern cultivars. This followed an explosion in new breeding in the 2000s and 2010s to address the problem that traditional basmati varieties are tall, low-yielding plants which fall over if they are fed with too much fertiliser.
Breeders overcame this by using crossing and selection to add the so-called "green revolution" semi-dwarfing gene, which is also bred into most other modern rice varieties.
India and Pakistan had successfully persuaded the UK and EU that these 25 new varieties were as high in quality as the existing 16, but several years later Bangor University were able to show that this wasn't entirely right.
By developing alternative DNA markers for fingerprinting, Bangor University showed that six of the new varieties – five from India and one from Pakistan – had not been properly bred for fragrance. Some did not even contain the version of the BADH2 gene that makes basmati fragrance possible in the first place. Although India and Pakistan have rigorous systems for testing rice quality, they don't necessarily do the gene testing that would have picked up the problem.
The Rice Association has responded to this discovery by publishing a new code of practice that removes the six varieties from the permitted list. Coming into force on January 1, the code also adds five new varieties that do pass muster. As a result, consumers should once again be able to buy basmati rice in the knowledge that it is of the highest possible quality.
Impurity Rule
But this isn't the end of the story. For one thing, the 7% impurity rule remains. I have long argued that the Rice Association should adopt the same 1% rule that applies in many products – non-GM foods, for example. There's no real reason for the basmati exception, and it is also arguably easier to enforce a 1% rule because of the way that DNA testing works.
Secondly, rice breeding is not standing still. Breeders have started focusing on making crosses to allow basmati varieties to inherit genes that will mean they need less fertiliser, resist disease so they need fewer or no pesticides, and even withstand drier growing conditions or salt-contaminated soils.
These varieties aren't quite ready to hit the market but are urgently needed to increase the sustainability of rice production. But if such varieties are to be sold labelled "basmati", they too will have to be monitored to ensure they meet the same high standards that consumers expect.
The same goes for varieties created by gene editing, which have not yet started emerging but probably will do over the next couple of decades.
It's an interesting case study in how cutting edge technology and the right regulation can ensure that an ancient industry remains fit for purpose in the 21st century.

In September Joel and I went on a trip to Norway for about 10 days. Today's post is the second in a series of posts about our trip and our stay at the Hamn i Senja resort which is located on the island of Senja in northern Norway.
Our first stop in Norway was in the Lofoten Islands and for 4 nights we stayed at the Eliassen Rorbuer in Hamnøy. You can read my post about our stay in Hamnøy HERE.
The second part of our Norway trip we spent two nights in Senja and we stayed at the Hamn i Senja resort. We drove about 6 hours north Hamnøy to get to Senja. It was a beautiful drive!
The Hamn i Senja is a resort right on the water. There are cottages, a conference facility and a lighthouse. This area is very sparsely populated so to find this beautiful resort there was fantastic. Definitely a great vacation destination especially if you live in Europe.
Since it is right on the water you can enjoy kayaking and boating in the summertime. We were there mid September and we spent the whole morning out on the water. It was really, really cold though. It is the Arctic, so I guess that is about right lol. When we got back to our cabin we drank lots of tea to warm up!
The cabin suites were perfect size and looked right out onto the water. Ours had a deck, too. Our suite had a kitchen and a very comfy bed. In Scandinavia the beds are made with two duvets which I found interesting. Each person gets their own. No sharing needed lol.
Once again we were able to catch the Aurora Borealis. I was so lucky to see it so much on this trip. I will never forget these nights. You can check out Soft Serve News to track where the Aurora will be. Thanks to Joel for this tip.
You will love this video that I posted on Instagram. ? Hit PLAY TO WATCH!
Since the Aurora is soooo amazing I will also share this video that Joel posted on his Instagram. Check out the view count! ? Hit PLAY TO WATCH!
I was saving the best for last because this video Joel posted on his Instagram shows the Aurora Borealis and bioluminescence in the water. It truly was a night I will never forget. So crazy to see this in person!!!! ? Hit PLAY TO WATCH!
If you are in Senja you must take the hike to Mt. Segla. It is a short, steep hike and it takes about an hour. It is so beautiful!!
This blog post is brought you in collaboration with the Hamn i Senja . Thank you for supporting the brands that support me.

A frustrated homeowner was trying to fix a leaky pipe. He had spent days working on the pipe himself, searched tutorials online, and even asked friends and family to take a look. Nothing worked.
Finally, the homeowner called a wise old plumber for help. Upon entering the home, the plumber listened to the homeowner explain the situation, spent 30 seconds examining the pipe, pulled out his hammer, and banged three times on different locations.
What does plumbing have to do with marketing services and process consulting? The distinction between the two is illustrated in the above story: Selling the use of plumbing supplies is like selling marketing services, while selling your knowledge of where to hit the pipe is like selling a strategy.
Marketing services - These are actions taken to achieve a marketing goal. They commonly include writing blog posts, graphic design, and managing social media. Like plumbing work, marketing services are valuable and important - but they are a commodity. You can find them anywhere and everywhere.
Process consulting - The process defines WHY a blog post is written, or a logo is created, or a pipe is hit with a hammer. It's a way to deploy people (writers, designers, plumbers) and tools (blog posts, social media, hammers) to achieve a specific result.
Are you starting to see why process consulting is a higher value sale? Services are highly replaceable - but with experience and knowledge of processes, you can provide a unique offering that few people - if any - are able to duplicate.
Absolutely! Many agencies can and do sell both process consulting (an initial strategy session or plan), as well as marketing services (the implementation of that plan or strategy).
The key thing to remember is that you must always lead with the process or strategy, because it's exponentially more valuable. If you try to jump into only selling services like blog posts, social media management, or design, you'll find your business trapped into the commoditized "race to the bottom" that many agencies are currently fighting against.
Assuming they have the same exact set of tools and equipment, what separates a seasoned plumber from an average homeowner? When you understand that, you'll understand the difference between selling services and selling a process. [CTA to learn more about CMB process].

Does Lynn's Paradise Cafe's New Tip-Out Policy Violate Kentucky Law?
by Zach Everson Jan 9, 2013, 6:50am EST
Share All sharing options for: Does Lynn's Paradise Cafe's New Tip-Out Policy Violate Kentucky Law?
A new policy that cost one server her job at Lynn's Paradise Cafe may violate Kentucky state law.
In a Facebook post, Leila DiFazio wrote she "was terminated from Lynn's Paradise Cafe for not being able to bring in $100 cash for my shift. It is a new policy that started 1/2/13, stating that all food servers are required to carry $100 cash for each shift to use to tip out support staff (bussers and food runners)."
While Lynn's owner, Lynn Winter's wouldn't comment on the specifics of DiFazio's claim, she did verify the new policy, saying it was to ensure servers have "enough cash on hand to be able to tip the secondarily tipped people [buses, bartenders, foodrunners and expos] because I didn't want them to say 'I have no cash, I can't tip you today.'"
[UPDATE Jan. 12, 10:48 a.m. Lynn's Paradise Cafe has closed.]
As an anonymous Eater commenter pointed out, however, this policy appears to violate two sections of KRS 337.065:
·(1) No employer shall require an employee to remit to the employer any gratuity, or any portion thereof, except for the purpose of withholding amounts required by federal or state law.
·(3) No employer shall require an employee to participate in a tip pool whereby the employee is required to remit to the pool any gratuity, or any portion thereof, for distribution among employees of the employer.
When asked whether Lynn's policy violates that law, a representative at Jefferson County Attorney Mike O'Connell's office said they'd only get involved in restaurant-witholding issues involving taxes or violations of local law. A voice mail message was left at 11:40 a.m. with Shelley Johnson, deputy communications director at Kentucky's Office of the Attorney General. Updates to the story as we get 'em...
UPDATE Jan. 12, 2:15 p.m. Kentucky Jobs for Justice Executive Director Flaco Aleman, who is working on behalf of the fired serves to raise awareness of the issue, told WAVE 3 news that the policy was illegal: "'The law says workers cannot be forced to tip pool in Kentucky,' Aleman said. 'It can be an agreement -- a voluntary agreement -- but it cannot be forced.'"

Our April auction is upon us and we've got a very special group of lots – a remarkable collection of over seventy rare old bottlings from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society sourced from a private collector in Macclesfield. Most of these bottles were bought in the 1990s and there are some very rare editions from highly-sought after distilleries.
If you're not very familiar with The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, here's a few facts to get you going and to explain why we're so excited about this collection.
The Society was founded in Edinburgh in 1983 and is therefore celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. In those 35 years the Society has grown enormously and is now represented, at last count, in 21 countries outside the UK.
The Society began as a private club led by Pip Hills, who had been cycling around Scotland visiting distilleries for some years. Hills clubbed together with some friends to buy a cask of Glenfarclas which they would share and drink together. The remainder of that cask became the first Society bottling when the club was formally established in 1983.
The Society's original premises are at The Vaults in Leith, Edinburgh. A London bar and tasting venue was purchased in 1996 with the proceeds of a share scheme for members, while a second Edinburgh venue was established in 2004 at 28 Queen Street, in the same year that the Society was purchased by Glenmorangie. The Society was sold in 2015 to a consortium of private investors.
SMWS single malts have always been bottled at full strength from single casks, without dilution, chill-filtration or additional colouring. These practices were very unusual in 1983 but are now common among independent bottlers.
Distillery names are never mentioned on Society bottlings. Instead, each whisky is identified by a two number code and occasional clues in Society publications. The first number represents the distillery, and the second identifies the cask. Therefore, the first bottling from the first distillery was 1.1, while 43.10 is the tenth bottling from the 43rd distillery. Lists of which numbers represent which distilleries are widely available on the internet but have never been confirmed by the Society.
Casks are chosen by the Society's Tasting Panel, who approve each bottling and compose concise tasting notes to be published on the label and in the Society's in-house magazine. As each bottling is from a single cask, expressions from the most popular distilleries sell out very quickly.
Old vintages: Highlights here include a pair of Bruichladdichs from 1968 and 1969, a Glen Garioch 1968, a Glenturret 1969, and one of the absolute standout lots, a 26 year old Ardbeg 1966 – the last bottle of this we had sold for £1600 over two years ago, so who knows what this will end up going for.
Low Cask Numbers: These are always highly sought-after and are hard to come by as many were bottled long before collecting whisky became popular. There are a lot of these in this fantastic collection, including the first ever SMWS bottlings of Glen Scotia, Craigellachie and the incredibly rare Glencraig (distilled on a Lomond still at Glenburgie). There's also the second bottlings from Clynelish, Glen Ord, Miltonduff, Glenturret, and the closed distilleries Imperial and Glenugie. Bidding on all of these lots will be absolutely fierce.
Closed or Rare Distilleries: We've got single-digit casks from closed distilleries including Dallas Dhu, Millburn, North Port and another standout lot: SMWS 61.3, distilled in 1977 at Brora. There are also several bottles from distilleries that are rarely bottled independently, including Dalmore, Talisker, Isle of Jura, Scapa, Glenlossie, Royal Brackla and Lagavulin.
Popular Distilleries: Clearly our collector had very good taste, as there are some mouth-watering lots from great distilleries. We particularly like the look of long-aged Clynelish 1983 and 1976, and the Ardbeg 1977 and 1974 – these classic vintages will be fought over, as will Brora 1981, Highland Park 1976, Laphroaig 1978, Caol Ila 1983, heavily sherried expressions from Ben Nevis and Glenglassaugh (both from the 1984 vintage) and the special edition society bottlings: Longrow 1990 – the first release from Longrow, bottled for the Millennium, another Longrow 1990 bottled for the opening of the Queen Street venue and last, but certainly not least, the famous Glen Grant 1972 bottled in 2001 for the Society's 18th anniversary.
We've only really scratched the surface here – there are dozens more fantastic SMWS single malts available from this amazing collection in our auction this month. Check them out now, there really is something for everyone. Good Luck and Happy Bidding!

The commands that can be sent are called URI's (Universal Resource Indicators), a number of URI commands map to buttons on the phone, different phone models have different buttons and therefore different URI's.
PhoneView has its own URIs which allow user to send commands to the phone using different protocols and techniques.
Note: To send a URI command to one or more phones in PhoneView simply select or enter the URI into the 'Command Bar' (just under the tool bar) and click Send, this will send the provided command(s) to selected phone(s).
A built-in macro command that deletes the ITL file (or resets security settings depending on the model) automatically. This command is model independent, PhoneView automatically sends the appropriate key sequence based on the model of the phone.
As Cmd:ITLDelete above but deleted the CTL file, this may be the same sequence as ITL delete for some phone models, however the older (i.e. 79xx range) require a separate sequence for CTL files, hence the need for a separate command for deleting CTL files consistently across all models.
This will perform a hard reset, wait for 2 minutes, unlock the settings then disable AltTFTP all in a single macro that can be sent to multiple devices, including a mixture of phone models in a single operation.
PhoneView maps the most common buttons for most models of phones, but there may be occasions when it's necessary to manually enter the URI Command for a specific button that is not mapped in PhoneView.
Following is a summary of Cisco URIs with Supported Phone Models .
This will play the 'Callback.raw' audio file stored on the TFTP server to the selected phone(s). Custom audio files can be created and uploaded, the format of the audio file is the same as the ringtone.
Is there a way to send or submit multiple URI commands (within the PhoneView application) like a script or MACRO ???
now select your phone(s) and copy above key sequences and paste it on the command bar(a bigger textbox on top) and click Send button to execute.
* Cmd:Pause - Pause command put 500 millisecond delay between each key sequence so this make sure that no key command get ignored by phones.
I'm looking for a way to send a + to a phone to allow testing of plus dialing for globalization.
I tried some variations of the commands listed above but no luck.

Q: "Without help from his family" or "without the help from his family" I have a question whether I should use the article before a certain phrase.
When you are describing someone from a well-off family who started a business without their help, which can you say, "without help from his family" or "without the help from his family"?

He launched his business without help from his family.
He launched his business without the help from his family.

My guess is that you need the article because this is a particular kind of help (help from his family), but I am not sure about this.

A: There are a few options, and some can be slightly emphasised:

*

*without help from

*without any help from

*with no help from

*without the help of

Here is the order in which they are commonly preferred (if you click on the image it will be enlarged):

Although NGram finds instances of without the help from, it is very rare and I wouldn't recommend it.
One more NGram shows you what prepositions are the most commonly used with both variants, without the help and without help.
Note: with no help is the strongest negation which would emphasise the exploit of launching the business alone.

A: The most natural phrase in this case is without help from his family. You would not use the because the type of help is not specific (it could be financial but does not strictly have to be). If you want to emphasize how gutsy he was you can use an intensifying adjective like any as others have suggested. (Mentions don't seem to work - sorry).
