When applying ice melt to concrete make sure your provider is not using rock salt. This sidewalk will need repair sooner than latter. Hiring a professional will save you money in the long run.
As people woke up in the City of Rochester Tuesday morning, there wasn't a lot of snow on the ground, if any. The freezing rain changed over to snow around 6 a.m.
It's been an unusually dry January. Only about four inches of snow fell in the first 23 days of the month.
That means people like Mike Callahan need to work to keep a full staff. Callahan owns Callahan's Lawn Care and Property Maintenance. On snowy mornings, Callahan sends out 25 crews to plow 600 driveways and about 70 parking lots.
But, since we've only seen a few several inches of snow this month, he hasn't had to do that often. That means some of his employees are looking for other work.
Callahan said two of his employees have left this winter for full time construction jobs.
"We try to supplement some work with some pruning or different landscaping maintenance we can do in the winter as well," he said.
Callahan's crews did have to do some work this morning. They were out salting parking lots well before the sun came up.
If you are like most, your lawn is likely brown at this point with the lack of rain. Lawn care expert, Mike Callahan, says there is still time to save your lawn if it is browning.
Callahan has been a lawn care expert for more than 20 years and he says that he never has seen a summer this hot and dry. Wednesday, the state's Department of Environmental Conservation issued a drought warning for all of Western New York. No water use restrictions are in place under this drought warning, but the state is asking citizens to conserve water whenever possible.
"Seven or eight years ago there was a drought probably about half as bad as this, but nothing even in comparison," said Callahan.
Callahan says even some of his grass is not green.
"Grass basically, with the extreme heat and drought that we're experiencing right now, will actually go dormant, it hasn't died. They say on average you can last about two months for the lawn to be dormant," said Callahan.
It has already been about two months of little to no rain in upstate New York.
"Right now is the time you really need to act if you are going to do it, otherwise you're running a major risk in the fall. You're either going to have to over seed or completely reseed your lawn.
While homeowners are doing all they can to revive their lawns, Callahan says the best remedy would still come from Mother Nature herself.
"Those heavy, really quick rains, with how dry it is right now, will actually hit the ground and run off. We need just a good solid consistent soaking for a 24 to 48 hours," said Callahan.
• Fix dripping and leaking faucets and toilets. A faucet leaking 30 drops per minute wastes 54 gallons a month.
• Raise your lawn mower cutting height. Longer grass needs less water.
• If your community allows watering, water lawns and gardens on alternate mornings instead of every day. Less frequent watering will develop grass with deeper roots, and early morning watering minimizes evaporation.
Tips on keeping your Lawn Green, Mike Callahan of Callahan's Lawn Care on Channel 8 News with Josh Nichols.
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC-TV) – One look at the grass and its no secret that Rochester has had a serious rainfall deficit since the beginning of spring. While some of us can afford to let our lawns go brown there are others that simply cannot.
The links of your favorite course are just one of those places where the greens need to be green! Art Eichas is just the man for that job. For 37 years, he's been the Greens Superintendant in charge of the course at Ridgemont Country Club in Greece, so he knows just how dry we are.
So when mother nature doesn't deliver water he has to find an alternative and that means irrigation.
And you don't need to go to the lengths a golf course has to go through to rescue your own lawns. Whether very dry or even dormant, landscape pros like Mike Callahan, owner of Callahan Tree and Landscape, say there's still hope to save that grass with a little strategy in how you water.
Although there's a big difference between taking care of your lawn and taking care of a golf course there are tricks of the trade that you can apply to your own lawn.
For example water late in the afternoon and early in the morning. And don't forget to conserve water too because rainfall in the forecast is not significant any time soon.
I wanted to make a video about the Common weeds in Upstate New York grass, crab grass is a member of the grass family which grow thicker and is less attractive with a pattern growing outward from central location. Other common names for Crabgrass in the upstate New York area including Rochester, NY would be large crabgrass with shiny crabgrass and hair crabgrass luckily there's many ways to avoid having crabgrass in your lawn. Crabgrass is a plant that basically usually takes hold where there's poor lawn development.
Crab grass in Rochester, NY is an annual plant which needs to reproduce year after year. You are able to eliminate crabgrass before it germinates with a pre emergent weed control application, or after it takes hold with a post emergent application.
Due to extremely heavy rain produced by pop up showers Monday and Tuesday, some of our crews are delayed by half a day. All lawns will be mowed before the weekend. Thank you for your understanding, The Callahan Team!

Let's start with the shower.
Once a month, pour white vinegar into a plastic grocery bag and submerge the shower head. Tie it shut and let it soak over night. In the morning, remove the bag and let the vinegar go down the drain. Run water to rinse it. You should also clean your shower curtain. While the shower head soaks, put the shower curtain in the washing machine with regular detergent and a few old towels. The towels act as a scrubbing agent to get rid of scum and mildew. In the morning, hang the curtain back up to dry. The tub/shower is fairly easy, but will require a little elbow grease. I keep it simple. I spray the walls and tub floor with white vinegar and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then, I sprinkle baking soda in the tub and scrub. I use a Scotch-brite stainless steel scrub and scrub the walls of the shower and the tub. Then I rinse everything.
You may be wondering why it's important to scrub the shower. It's more than a soap-scum issue (even if that was gross enough). Your shower head could be harboring Mycobacterium avium, a pathogen linked to pulmonary disease. Using an infected shower head could be sending millions of little germs into your lungs, not to mention germs left behind by the other people using your bathing facilities.
You can help yourself daily by taking a moment to wipe down surfaces after showering. Leave the fan on and the door open to help lower the room's humidity.
Ok… Let's talk walls and ceilings. I bet you think you don't need to clean them. WRONG! Soaps, dirt, and skin cells you are sloughing off leave behind a microscopic film. Once a month, go through the process of cleaning the walls and the ceiling. Spray the counter tops, walls, and the ceiling with white vinegar, water and essential oil solution. Crank up the water and let the steam build up for about five minutes. Turn off the water and shut the door. The steam and the cleaning vinegar solution will work it's magic for about 20 minutes. Then, wipe down the surfaces with a clean microfiber cloth.
Next up… the toilet. Everyone is afraid of the toilet. Start by pouring 1 cup of baking soda into the toilet bowel. Let it sit for a few minutes; brush and flush. If it still looks dirty or stained, use damp pumice stone. Don't forget that you need to clean the toilet brush too. I usually hold it over the toilet bowl and pour bleach over the brush. Then, I rinse it very well. Next, spray your vinegar solution on the surfaces of the toilet. Remember to wipe down the seat, the lid and the handle. Many people miss cleaning these areas. Trust me, germs are lurking!
Think of a toilet as a slow motion fireworks display the showers toilet surfaces with the germs that live in the toilet bowl… germs like E. coli and salmonella can fly into the air and land on the seat, handle and other surfaces with every flush. Gross. … maybe even try closing the lid when you flush. Just saying.
We can now move to cleaning the sink.
Sprinkle the sink with baking soda. Pour in a little white vinegar. I use my stainless steel scrubber to remove stuck on toothpaste and such. Then, flush the sink with hot water. Finally, wipe the sink and the counters down to dry them.
Just remember, the sink drain has the highest bacteria count.
The handles? Don't forget that you touch them after using the toilet and BEFORE washing your hands. EWWW! It's important to wipe down the sink and counters daily!
Replace your towels, hand towels and wash clothes every 2-3 days. Wash them on a sanitary cycle on your washing machine or use bleach. Why? Towels are often shared by many and they are designed to trap moisture… a recipe for germ stew!
Moaning Myrtle will thank you!

History of the Baughn Generation in America
Written by: Joseph H. Baughn (9/9/1879 - 4/10/1976)
I have been implored by several of the Baughn generation (family) to write this history, as I am the oldest one of the generation to be known living. It seems that none of the generation has kept any record of the genealogy of the family.
Most of all the deaths occurred at around eighty years old or younger, except me. I am now ninety years old and still have fairly good health, strength and mind. I live one and one-half miles south of the little town of Lynn in Winston County, Alabama, and I am now still living on the old homestead where my father, Frederick H. (Cap) Baughn homesteaded and lived until he died in 1916. I still have the old land patent to the old homestead, and I have lived here for (90) years. My father made this homestead while James Buchanan was President of the United States in 1858.
There have been several nicknames used in the family, so I am enclosing all nicknames in parentheses so no one may get balled up, as many knew them by their nicknames better than by their real names. I don't want to do any writing that would lead anyone off.
I am using every effort to give true facts as nearly as possible. I suppose the reason for so many asking me to do this writing is because, in talking to me, they have learned that my memory of recollection reaches back for seventy-five years and plainer and more vividly than it does to things happened one to five years ago.
At the writing of this history, I want to insist that as far as I have ever known this is the only history of the family ever written as it is a general rule that families do not keep a history or record of the family or generation, unlike the Jew, who can tell you of his generation, and to which of the twelve tribes of Israel he belongs.
I want to ask every one who gets a copy of this writing to take care of it, keep it for the information or history of the generation (family); for it is highly possible that there will never be another Baughn family history written.
Most of this history has come through my father, Frederick H. Baughn, generally known by all as Uncle Cap, and he was as confidential and truthful as any man I ever knew and was thought to be so by all who knew him. He never exaggerated anything to make it suit himself, and I am sure that all the information I ever learned from him was true and correct.
This writing dates down to September 20, 1969 and consists of about all concerning later families to this date.
Joseph Herbert Baughn
The first of the Baughn generation (family) in America was one Joseph Baughn, who with his wife, sailed from the nation of Wales to America around the last of the Eighteenth Century or from about the year 1794 to the year 1800.
They landed in South Carolina, where they settled down and raised their family. Two sons are all that we history of-one son Joseph Baughn and one son, Payton Baughn. We don't know whether this Joe Baughn was ever married or not. The other son, Payton Baughn, married one Nancy Hicks, the daughter of Frederick Hicks, who we suppose, settled down near the same place the first Baughn settled and near the same date. They were full-blooded Black Dutch who sailed to America from Holland. The one daughter is all we have record of.
We have no record of what became of the original Joe Baughn, but Payton Baughn drifted to the state of Georgia, and from there the main part of the Baughn family scattered.
The Baughn family seemed to be susceptible to tuberculosis. Seven of the men and eight of the women of the Baughn family died with tuberculosis.
As was stated earlier, Payton Baughn, the son of the original Joe Baughn who came from Wales, married a Black Dutch girl, the daughter of Frederick Hicks, the only child we have history of in the Hicks family. After staying in South Carolina for a few years, drifted to the state of Georgia. For some unknown cause, he was a crippled man, who had to use a crutch and a walking stick to walk at all. He was educated and followed teaching school for a living, moving frequently wherever he could get the best pay for teaching.
His family consisted of five boys and four daughters. The boys were Herbert (Hubbard) Baughn, William Baughn, John Baughn, Sr., and Frederick H. (Cap) Baughn, and Jasper (Buck) Baughn. Hubbard's wife died in Georgia, leaving two children, one boy and one girl. William Baughn married in Georgia, also. He married Matilda Buchanon.
Payton Baughn stayed in Georgia until the year 1849 when he came to Alabama with his single children and Hubbard. and William came to Alabama a year or so later. Payton Baughn landed with one Isham Prince on the Old Byler Road, later known as the Willis Farris place, and still later as the Tom Townsend place. The old Byler Road was then a stage line form Decatur to Tuscaloosa.
From there the Baughn family scattered. John Baughn married Rebecca Armstrong, daughter of Steward and Polly Armstrong. Their children consisted of two boys and seven girls. The boys were George and Kendrick (Ken); the girls, Rebecca, Malinda, Filey, Margaret, Nellie, Jane and one whose given name is unknown and who married Willis Gunter. Rebecca married John N. Baughn; Malinda married Joe Kennedy; Filey married Walter Nichols; Margaret married Bud Palmer; Nellie married Gaines Palmer; Jane married Thoan Nickerson. In addition to the nine children who lived to be grown, there were three or four who died with flux, now known as colitis, when they were small.
And now the families of Hubbard Baughn and William L. Baughn who were both sons of Payton Baughn…..
Hubbard Baughn lived in Georgia for some time, where his wife died, leaving two children, one boy named John and one girl whose name is unknown.
Later on, after Payton Baughn came to Alabama, Hubbard also came to Alabama, where he stayed for two or three years, before he moved west, supposedly to Texas, where he thought the country would be more healthy for him. He died with tuberculosis and all sign of the family was lost, as the U. S. mail system was slow and it was almost impossible to get any communication from Texas. And that was all that was ever known of Hubbard Baughn and his family.
William L. Baughn, son of Payton Baughn, lived in Georgia a year or two after Payton came to Alabama. He had married Matilda Buchanon in Georgia and they came to Alabama and raised five children. One daughter Emma married John Sims, and had two sons, Rufus and Irving.
Emma and her son Irving, died with tuberculosis. Another of William L. Baughn's daughters, Anner, married Benjamin Weaver, had several children, and lived until a fairly old age. Dora married Silas Lackey, had one daughter and died with tuberculosis.
The oldest son, Thomas, died quiet young with slow fever. He was around twenty years old when he died.
The youngest son, Albert, married Nancy Carolyn (Dolly) Rose. They had eight children. The four boys were Irving, Rufus, who died with tuberculosis, Egbert and Hurbert.
The girls were Annie, Irene, Amy, and Patty Mae. Albert Baughn and his wife died with tuberculosis. While living, Albert Baughn ran a good merchantile business in Lynn for several years, which he left when he died. At the time of his death, he was still living on the old homestead where his father had lived.
And to the family of John N. Baughn, who was also a son of Payton Baughn. He was a single man and still lived with the family when Payton Baughn came to Alabama in 1849. He later married Rebecca Armstrong, the daughter of Steward and Polly Armstrong. They raised eleven children. The six boys were James, Hubbard, William, Henry, John H., and Jasper. The girls were Mary, who married Ben Lambert; Frances who married Coleman Gann; Nancy Green, who married Claborn Threadgill; and Margaret, who married Gale Vines. Nancy Green and Margaret both died with t. b. and had no children. Francis and baby died in childbirth.
Jim Baughn, the oldest child, married Mary Wilson and later died leaving four children, which were taken and raised by their grandmother, Rebecca Baughn, and their uncle, Henry Baughn. Jim Baughn died with tuberculosis in Oklahoma.
Hubbard Baughn married Nancy Brimer, daughter of Eliza Brimer, a widow.
John N. Baughn homesteaded land ajoining the land of both William Baughn and Frederick (Cap) Baughn. The John Baughn homestead was just west of that of Frederick (Cap) Baughn and south of the home of William Baughn , the two lower homesteads on Black Water Creek.
The above John N. Baughn was in the Union Army of the United States during the Civil War.
Another son of Payton Baughn, Jasper (Buck) Baughn, went to the Union Army in the Civil War and was never heard from again. It was supposed he was killed in battle and never reported.
And to the family of Frederick (Cap) Baughn, who was the son of Payton Baughn and who was known almost altogether as Cap Baughn, which name we will use in this writing.
Cap Baughn came to Alabama with his father, Payton Baughn, in the year 1849 when he was sixteen years old and lived with his father until he married in August 16, 1856. He married Margaret (Peggy) Holt, homesteaded land and built their home where they lived the remainder of each of their lives. Cap Baughn died on November 16, 1916 and Margaret (Peggy) died on June 14, 1925.
They lost one child in infancy and raised seven children. The boys were William J. Baughn, George P. Baughn, Frederick Jackson Baughn and Joseph H. Baughn; the girls, Nancy Carolyn, Sarah Jane, and Martha Anne.
Cap Baughn was eighty-three years old when he died and Margaret (Peggy) was near ninety.
In his early life, Cap Baughn took up the trade of tanning leather and making shoes, which he did an extensive lot of. He tanned many tons of leather and hauled it off to markets and learned, it is supposed, just about all there was to be learned at the time about hides and leather. In 1882, he was robbed of around twelve hundred dollars, which was supposed to have been done by Sanford Wafford and his brother-in-law, Thomas Arnold, but at that date, they could not get positive proof.
Cap Baughn, with his brothers William and John N. Baughn, homesteaded adjoining land; William on the north, John on the west, and Cap on the east. All three homesteads lay between a half mile to two miles of where the little town of Lynn now stands. One of the children of Cap Baughn was William J., who married Malinda Love and raised three boys and four girls. George P. Baughn married Betsy Cagle and raised two girls Lelar and Barbara Ann, and the boys, Luther and Joseph Frederick. All of George's children except Barbara are dead at the time of this writing. Jack married Sarah Dykes (Polly), and they raised five boys, Thomas, Joseph, William, Albert and Washington, and girls, Elizabeth, Emma, Annie, and one lost in infancy. One of Jack's sons, Thomas was killed in a penitentiary in Salem, Oregon, while demonstrating and tearing up buildings and machinery.
Cap Baughn's daughter, Nancy, married Melton Cagle and raised six boys and four girls. The boys were Hubbard, George, John, James, Rufus, and Joseph. The girls were Roxanna, Margaret, Sarah, and Martha. George, John, James, Joseph (Jobe), and Martha are still living at the time if this writing. Later on in this writing, an account of John H. Baughn, this writer, is given.
And to the family of John H. Baughn, who was the son of John N. Baughn, a grandson of Payton Baughn. He married Mandy Key a daughter of Mary Anne and John R. Key, who, it is claimed, killed himself in jail. Other members of the Key family were Elijah, Sarah, Elzaney, Julia, Ova, and Victoria.
John H. Baughn raised eight children. The boys were Argie, Floyd, Fletcher, Fred, Felman, Kermit, and Vance. The two girls were Veltie, who married Clyde Pennington and Bernice, who died shortly after her marriage to Velton O'Mary.
John Baughn's first wife Mandy, died, and he married Parilee Burgess, a widow and the daughter of Garrett Dodd.
The only living member of John H. Baughn's family is Fletcher, who married Pearl Lynn, the daughter of John W. and Tine Lynn.
It may not be of any importance to any reader, but I am including this information about myself.
I am Joseph Herbert Baughn, a son of Frederick (Cap) Baughn, who was a son of Payton Baughn, who was a son of the orignal Joe Baughn, who came from Wales to America; aand I am now ninety (90) years old. I was born in Winston County in Alabama and have lived here all my life. I am still living on the old homestead where my father lived most of his life. I was born on the ninth day of September, 1879. I still have fairly good health, can get around pretty well, eat well, and I think I still have a fairly good mind. I have raised my family here on the old homestead of my father, Frederick H. Baughn.
I married Bertha Long, a granddaughter of William R. Long and daughter of John C. Long. Our children are as follows: W. Howard Baughn who married Agnes Nix; Nora Baughn married Walter Downey; Ruby Baughn married Ralph Fletcher; Elve Baugh married Talbert Partaine; Lenola Baughn married Bonnie Radford; Harvey Baughn married Roberta Wilson; Merceed Baughn married Roman Manasco who was killed in a coal mine. She later married Leonard Farris. Jeree O. Baughn married Ala Mae Ingle. We lost one, a twin to Merceed, in childbirth.
I served as a Justice of the Peace and Notary Public for thirty-five years. That, I think, has given my neighbors pretty good faith in me, or they would not have kept me in this position so long. When I at last retired, the people tried to get me to run for Justice again, but I refused. I was afraid my mind may be getting a little weak and that I might make some mistake that could get someone in trouble.
In doing this writing, I have taken the time and studied hard in trying to do it properly and to give true facts as nearly as I can. I trust that I have done so. I have been several days doing this writing as I couldn't think of everything at once, and I would stop work or rest or sometime, possibly a day or so to study so as to be sure I was doing the writing correctly and giving true facts; for I realize that I am not going to be here much longer to do anything, and if this writing can give anyone information or pleasure in reading, I will be repaid for my trouble. It has been a wearisome job and hard on my mind which I realize is weakening away. I now bid good-bye to the world. This writing has been a strain on my mind, studying and trying to obtain all the facts about the family as true facts.
In closing I wish to remark that I have never been out of the state of Alabama.
After the closing of this writing I have decided that the Generation or the Public would require some further history of the older ones of the family and so I am making this addition especially concerning Payton Baughn who was a son of the original Joe Baughn who came from Wales to America.
Payton Baughn was a crippled man, had to use a crutch and a walking stick to walk. He served in Winston County as Tax Assessor and Tax Collector both. While there was not enough money to pay two men to do the work he got twenty-five dollars a month for doing the Assessing and Collecting and had three months in the year to do the work making seventy-five dollars per year. This was around the end of the Civil War.
Just after this date he was elected Probate Judge of Winston County and served there for a while and was killed in his office by a drunken man. Paul Garrison stabbed him with a knife. Garrison skipped bond and got away. While a bond of $1000.00 was made detectives hunted for him but never found him. He was in Arkansas but got word of the reward and skipped from there.
And another feat that was accomplished through the Baughn family was concerning the disease of Pellagra, which was known in Italy for several years before it got into America. It was a terrible scourge and claimed to be incurable. There was no treatment known for it. But we found a treatment for it. We and my brother George P. Baughn by accident discovered a treatment that cured hundreds of cases while it raged in America for just a few years---12 or 13 years and seemingly died out and has never bothered many since. We cured one regular doctor, one R. H. Miller. He had tried several doctors with no avail and has made the statement to several that it actually cured him for which he was very thankful.
And with this I suppose I will close this writing.

Phill Niblock: 6 Hours of Music and Film
What: Downtown legend and intermedia artist Phill Niblock presents his annual 6-hour Winter Solstice concert.
When: Thursday, December 21, 2017, 6pm—12am
Brooklyn, NY – As the longest night of the year unfolds and the journey of our planet nears the point when Winter commences in the Northern Hemisphere, Phill Niblock's stages his annual Winter Solstice concert for the 7th consecutive year in Roulette's Atlantic Avenue theatre space. Starting at 6:00 PM, the performance will comprise of six sublime hours of acoustic and electronic music and mixed media film and video in a live procession that charts the movement of our planet and the progress of ourselves through art and performance at its maximal best.
Niblock's minimalistic drone approach to composition and music was inspired by the musical and artistic activities of New York in the 1960s, from the art of Mark Rothko, Carl Andre, Sol LeWitt, Donald Judd, and Robert Morris to the music of John Cage and Morton Feldman. Niblock's music is an exploration of sound textures created by multiple tones in very dense, often atonal tunings (generally microtonal in conception) performed in long durations.
Phill Niblock is an intermedia artist using music, film, photography, video, and computers as his medium. Since the mid-1960s, he has been making music and intermedia performances which have been shown at numerous venues around the world, including The Museum of Modern Art, The Kitchen, The Institute of Contemporary Art in London, and World Music Institute at Merkin Hall. Since 1985, Niblock has been the director of the Experimental Intermedia Foundation in New York where he has been an artist and member since 1968. He is the producer of Music and Intermedia presentations at Experimental Intermedia since 1973 (with 1000 performances to date!) and the curator of EI's XI Records label. Niblock's music is available on the XI, Moikai, Mode and Touch labels. He is the recipient of the prestigious 2014 Foundation for Contemporary Arts John Cage award.

Phill Niblock's Solstice Tradition by Kurt Gottschalk
Phill Niblock at his laptop during 6 Hours of Music and Film at Roulette, 2018
There was a time when Phill Niblock's six-hour winter solstice concerts were a key part of the Downtown winter holidays, every bit as much as Phil Kline's Unsilent Night boombox parades from Washington Square Park to Tompkins Park or the annual New Year's Eve sets with James Blood Ulmer at the old Knitting Factory. From 6pm until midnight every December 21, Niblock could be found at Experimental Intermedia, his home and performance space on Centre Street, playing extended, drone-based music alongside his films of people around the world doing manual labor.
Those days are gone. Niblock still hosts a run of performances and screenings at the loft—which will mark its 50th year of operation in 2018— every May and December. But conflicts with the building owner have forced him to scale back and keep a close count on attendance. His solstice concerts—where people would meet up to listen, socialize in the stairwell, pop over to Chinatown for dinner and return to submerge again into the penetrating volumes of the music—proved too popular to continue at the loft . When Roulette opened its new theatre on Atlantic Avenue in 2011, the annual ritual was on the bill and a new tradition was born.
Niblock presented his first solstice concert in 1976 and has been doing it ever since, some years augmented with a summer solstice concert as well. The original inspiration, however, seems at this point lost to history.
"Actually, I don't really know [how it started]," he said in August, speaking via Skype from his second home in Ghent, where he was preparing for concerts in Poland and Czechia. "I don't have any memory of that whatsoever. It used to be eight hours long, and I don't know what the fuck I did in eight hours because there wasn't that much material then."
Whatever the origin, the solstice concerts in a sense epitomize much of Niblock's work. Extended tones, extreme volume and long, filmed scenes of people working are hallmarks of his artistic output. Asked what he thought people should take away from the concerts, he said with a laugh, "It's not my problem, it's their problem." But he has plenty to say about the work itself.
"The volume is actually about two things," he explained. "One is that it announces that the music is not a soundtrack for the film but is a dominant feature. The other thing, and probably the more important part, is that the music is all about this microtonal interference in the sound cloud that appears and that occurs much more at a very high volume. Sometimes the cloud of overtones that occurs is there only when it's fairly loud and if you turn the music down, it becomes the sound of instruments rather than the sound of microtonal interferences."
While making music might be what he's best known for today, Niblock's first work was in photography and filmmaking. When he arrived in New York City in 1958, he found a place in the jazz world, photographing Duke Ellington sessions and filming the Sun Ra and his Solar Arkestra, among others. Before long, he had had taken to filming dance and, later, creating installation projects with dancers interspersed among multiple screens projecting his films. (Some of those early multi-media events were revived in March, 2017, at the Tate Modern in London.) At that point, he said, he began to see parallels between the motions of dance and the motions of manual labor.
"I was working with a dance theater from '65 to '70 and I began doing this project called the 'Environment Series' in '68," he said. "There were three screens of video plus some slide pieces on a fourth screen with music and live players. I found it very difficult to do these pieces because there were five people and multiple screens and we simply couldn't do it. I began to do a series of films that I could do with a single screen or possibly two or three when it was possible in '73. I decided to do this series of pieces looking at the movement of people doing very ordinary work. I was looking at the movement of people working in the fields or fishing or whatever they were doing rather than live dance."
Those early films are a major part of Niblock's solstice concerts, but this year's concert will give him a chance to present more recent work as well.
"There's a lot of new video in the last few years, 100 minutes of finished videos, which is completely different than the people working, no people whatsoever," he said. "We're doing installations where there are three screens and a fourth set of pieces that are shot on video and look better on a video monitor than they do on a large screen."
Niblock has a long history with Roulette, dating well before his moving the solstice concerts across the East River. As far back as 1982, he was performing at Roulette's original loft on West Broadway (not so far from his own space), presenting a program called "Once More For the Road" featuring his films from Shanghai and Lesotho with Roulette co-founder and artistic director Jim Staley on "mobile trombone."
That history made moving to Roulette an easy invitation to accept. While Niblock originally planned to find a new location for the solstice concerts every year, he said he is glad to have found a permanent home.
"I was thinking maybe we'd switch to different places but Roulette is really a great space for us," he said. "I'm extremely happy to work with them."
His image on the screen then jostled as he adjusted the camera on his laptop.
"Let me pull this down a bit," he said, "so you can see the hand on my heart." The gesture was followed by a laugh that might be as evocative of the experimental composer and filmmaker, at least to those who were at those early concerts on Centre Street, as the loud and prolonged tones of his music.

Watch out for those Dominican tides!
We also put together short little video of Ashley and Brian's wedding which you can watch below!
Ashley and Brian had a beautiful wedding on May 2 at The Barn at Drewia Hill. The day couldn't have been more perfect.
I had the pleasure of photographing a family friend and her fiance over the weekend. We originally had planned on meeting Saturday but the weather was very cold and gloomy, so we opted to wait a day. It was still quite cold, but at least the sun was shining! I can't wait to be a part of their wedding in May. Here's a sneak peak at their beautiful engagement photos. Enjoy!

A brand new form of luxury transport experience in water: the first Princess R Class performance sports yacht that will make its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2018. The R35 is the result of a prestigious collaboration between Princess Yachts, the British giant in luxury motor yacht manufacturing, Ben Ainslie Racing Technologies, the nautical experts behind Britain's bid to win the America's Cup, known as the Formula 1 of sailing, and Pininfarina, the Italian luxury design house.
With the R35 we wanted to convey pure Emotion. With the capital E. The emotion felt by a child the first time he sees an airplane. The surprise for the unknown together with the wonder for the beauty and the power. The R35 embodies these three factors: an avant-garde yacht with an astonishing skin and a sprinter's heart.
The R35 was born under the imperatives of innovation and revolution, able to combine astonishing design, unmatched quality, and advanced technologies to deliver a completely unique experience. Princess's R35 stands with pioneering spirit as the progenitor which opens up a new era for the company's product offering and the yacht market as a whole.
The exteriors of the R35 have been designed by Pininfarina which, for this project, looked at its origins towards the obsessive attention for aerodynamics of its founder, Battista "Pinin" Farina, who shaped the DNA of the company, based on pure and elegant lines traced at service of speed and performance.
As for sports cars, beauty must always be integrated with function. Following this approach Pininfarina created and optimized by means of the latest Computational Fluid Dynamics techniques, forms shaped by the wind, introducing air intakes in the yacht bulwark with a dual purpose: functional, as they collect air for the engines and operates as air-ejector systems that blow away tail vortex improving aerodynamic behavior, and aesthetic as the wing that covers the air intakes shapes the boat deadwork becoming the real mark of the project turning it in a new icon. Princess and Pininfarina share common values as the continuous search for beauty and innovation. The first-born of this exclusive collaboration was crafted to be the best in class. A R-evolution in the sector.

Op 15 december 2015 is het Besluit aangewezen instanties en interne instanties Metrologiewet in de Staatscourant gepubliceerd. Dit betekent dat de taken van Verispect vanaf 1 januari 2016 zijn ondergebracht bij Agentschap Telecom, bij Toezicht met als nieuwe afdeling Metrologie en Waarborg.

Verispect verzorgde in opdracht van het Nederlandse Ministerie van Economische Zaken en het Ministerie van Justitie het toezicht op naleving van de Metrologiewet en de Waarborgwet. De handhaving van art. 240a Wetboek van Strafrecht en van artikel 437 van het Wetboek van Strafrecht

Globaal gezien waren de volgende hoofdtaken te onderscheiden:
Onafhankelijk toezichthouder
Breed werkend expertisecentrum
Ondersteuning van Rijksoverheid en lokale overheden
Internationale vertegenwoordiging

Verispect bv is voortgekomen uit de voormalige Dienst van het IJkwezen.

Hoofdtaken

Onafhankelijk toezichthouder
Verispect hield namens de Rijksoverheid toezicht op de naleving van de Metrologiewet, de Waarborgwet. De handhaving van artikel 437 van het Wetboek van Strafrecht; in het wetsartikel is de registratie- en legitimatieplicht van metaalhandelaren vastgelegd. En art 240a Wetboek van Strafrecht (de Kijkwijzer, PEGI; in het wetsartikel is het verbod opgenomen op het verstrekken, aanbieden of vertonen van beeldmateriaal dat schadelijk is voor jongeren onder de zestien jaar, aan een jongere in die leeftijdsgroep).
Zij deed dit door middel van periodieke en steekproefsgewijze controles in de markt. Deze controles werden onder andere uitgevoerd door de eigen controleurs die tevens Buitengewoon Opsporingsambtenaar waren. De technische controles met name konden ook worden uitgevoerd door personen of bedrijven die met Verispect een samenwerkingsovereenkomst hadden.

Breed werkend expertisecentrum
Verispect opereerde als een breed werkend expertisecentrum voor de wettelijke metrologie, waarborg en aanverwante vakgebieden.
Bedrijven, consumenten, brancheverenigingen of overheden konden met hun vragen over de Metrologiewet of de Waarborgwet bij Verispect terecht.
Als bedrijven of consumenten twijfelden aan bijvoorbeeld de juiste meting van weeg- en meetapparatuur, konden zij een klacht indienen bij Verispect. In een conflict kon Verispect de doorslag geven of het meetinstrument de juiste waarde aangaf en aan de Metrologiewet voldeed.

Ondersteuning van Rijksoverheid en de lokale overheden
Verispect ondersteunde de Rijksoverheid bij het opstellen van nieuwe wet- en regelgeving en de lokale overheden.

Internationale vertegenwoordiging
Verispect was namens en met de Rijksoverheid ook een belangrijke gesprekspartner bij internationaal samenwerkingsoverleg - in Europees of mondiaal verband - als het ging om regelgeving op het gebied van de wettelijke metrologie, waarborgwet of aanpalende vakgebieden. Zij deed dit onder meer in samenwerkingsorganisaties als OIML (Organisation Internationale de Métrologie Légale) en WELMEC (Europees samenwerkingsverband).

Geschiedenis
In het begin van de jaren tachtig kwamen fundamentele discussies op gang over de taken welke noodzakelijkerwijze door de overheid zouden moeten worden uitgevoerd en welke taken konden worden geschrapt of afgestoten (verzelfstandiging van overheidsdiensten al dan niet gepaard gaande met privatisering, dat wil zeggen uitvoering aan het bedrijfsleven overlaten). Voorbeelden zijn de Dienst van de Waarborg, de PTT, energiebedrijven enzovoorts. Ook het IJkwezen werd onder de loep genomen.

Daarop besloot het kabinet in december 1984 tot verzelfstandiging van de Dienst van het IJkwezen. Het duurde nog tot het najaar van 1988 voordat de Eerste Kamer akkoord ging. Maar toen per 1 mei 1989 de IJkwet werd gewijzigd was de verzelfstandiging een feit.
Voorzieningen werden getroffen voor de oprichting van het Nederlands Meetinstituut NV en aansluitend de oprichting van de drie werkmaatschappijen: Van Swinden Laboratorium B.V. (VSL), IJkwezen B.V. (voorheen Dienst van het IJkwezen), en Test- en Adviescentrum B.V. (TAC).

In 1995 werd Holland Metrology N.V opgericht. Als gevolg van de politieke discussie over 'Markt en Overheid' werd NMi IJkwezen B.V. opgesplitst in NMi Certin B.V., het test en certificeringinstituut en NMi Inspecties en Kansspeltechniek B.V., als toezichthouder op naleving van de IJkwet en de Wet op de kansspelen.

Verispect b.v. werd in 1998 de naam van het voormalige NMi Inspecties en Kansspeltechniek B.V. De scheiding tussen toezichthouder en keuringsinstituut werd daarmee nog duidelijker.

Sinds 21 februari 2001 zijn de aandelen van Holland Metrology N.V. volledig in handen van TNO Beheer B.V. (Nederlandse Organisatie voor toegepast-natuurwetenschappelijk onderzoek Beheer BV)

Vanaf november 2009 voert Verispect in opdracht van het ministerie van Justitie controles uit op overtreding van artikel 240a Wetboek van Strafrecht.

Vanaf 1 januari 2014 is het toezicht op de Wet op de Kansspelen overgegaan naar de Kansspelautoriteit.

Op 15 december 2015 is het Besluit aangewezen instanties en interne instanties Metrologiewet in de Staatscourant gepubliceerd. Dit betekent dat de taken en het personeel van Verispect vanaf 1 januari 2016 zijn ondergebracht bij Agentschap Telecom, bij Toezicht met als nieuwe afdeling Metrologie en Waarborg.

t takes a lot of effort to produce a good movie, from script to versatile acting to choreography to camera to editing to music and etc, etc. When we watch a movie, we just see what is there on the screen and what all effort going in behind-the-scenes.
A question which keeps on popping in our mind, especially after seeing a good romantic movie is 'how the h*ll actors shot the intimate scene'. Well, here we answer everything you've always wanted to know about filming $ex scenes.
It takes a lot of effort to make a bold scene appear as though the actor in the $ex scene is actually in throes of passion. Most famous $ex scene of movies is choreographed right from the passionate kiss to light caress.
Although it all looks intimate and exciting once the raw footage is edited, filming $ex scenes is usually pretty painful for the actors.
Even on a closed set, there are still crew members present.
Even if the final scene is only of 30 seconds, it takes long hours to film it.
The director have to act like a cheerleader most of the time.
Sometimes its a brain child of camera man, yaa, they film it in such a angle and way that it looks more intimating than the actual scene.

Bank of England to manage financial services security check
The Bank of England is set to oversee a series of "ethical hacking" operations of financial services firms, in a bid to assess their defences against cyber crime.
Ethical hacking involves individuals attempting to penetrate networks or computer systems using the same methods as a hacker in order to find weaknesses and vulnerabilities in the target systems.
This year the Bank of England will help oversee a programme of "ethical hacking" as part of a boarder assessment of the resilience of computer systems in the UK, the Financial Times reports. The programme will reportedly involve more than 20 major banks and other financial institutions.
A source familiar with the process told the newspaper, "The UK is leading the world on this – it is groundbreaking."
Whilst many firms conduct similar test internally this will be the first time the authorities will oversee such a broad process. The new programme will build on last year's process Waking Shark II, which saw dozens of financial institutions test their cyber security.
The Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) risk outlook for 2014 also mentioned cybercrime. It noted that technological developments have increased the availability and use of data insights and increased the potential profits of cybercrime. The increased amount of risk has meant financial services firms have been required to "invest significantly" to improve controls, the report added.
The risk outlook said, "Cyber-crime has also received increased attention by operators of critical financial infrastructure, such as market exchanges and trading venues, since they have become high-profile targets for deliberate attempts to disrupt financial markets."
In order to combat this, the Financial Policy Committee recommended that the FCA, the Bank of England, HM Treasury and the Prudential Regulation Authority work with core UK financial systems to put in place a programme of work to improve and test the resilience to cyber-attack.

How To Create And Plan An Eco-Friendly Bedroom Update


Hanging simply on their own rack are a set of unassuming wooden frames, each draped with a cozy fabric soft to the touch. The Dressing Frames are exemplary of the elegant simplicity of the Practical Life materials. Each frame focuses the child's attention on a single method of fastening: large buttons, small buttons, zippers, snaps, velcro, eyes and hooks. Working in isolation on the sturdy frame, the child is able to build his or her skill with the fasteners.
By practicing with the fasteners in isolation, children grow in their confidence to apply that practice to real-life contexts: shoes and jackets, coats and bags. "Getting dressed" can be one of the most frustrating times of the day for a young child, whose intrinsic desire to do things on his or her own is thwarted by fasteners that require subtle fine motor skills to secure. These skills are far more complex than adults realize! Because we have already developed the muscle memory to tie or button with our eyes closed, we underestimate how much control is necessary for tiny fingers to do the same. The Dressing Frames support the children's growing independence by giving them one more necessary, practical skill to care for caring for themselves.
And, of course, because they are Montessori materials, the Dressing Frames have some hidden benefits: children are introduced to the frames from top to bottom, mirroring the same cognitive patterns we use in reading and math. They allow for endless repetition, establishing the muscle memory that can be generalized to other settings. They support the child's sense of self, by allowing him or her to succeed in increasingly complex tasks.
In our classrooms, we know children warrant our respect, even when they lack the physical development or cognitive development to care for themselves. For an interesting application of how these same principles can be used with older adults with dementia, you may be interested in this short video of Dr. Cameron Camp's work. Dr. Camp began using the Montessori materials, specifically the Dressing Frames, with patients with dementia at the Myers Institute. Since his work in the late 1990's, Dr. Camp has expanded his research to include other qualities of the Montessori philosophy that may fundamentally change the way we care for and work with elders with dementia. Across the generations, when learners are treated with understanding and respect, better learning occurs.


Modern healthcare is riddled with challenges and stories of the system failing patients. That's hardly news. What may be surprising, however, is to discover just how inefficient and disconnected patients and care providers really are. In spite of all our efforts to be more patient-centric and to leverage recent technological advancements (mobile phones, apps, IoT), physicians and patients are still incredibly disconnected from each other.
To put things into perspective, the typical American sees a doctor about 4 times per year. A closer analysis reveals that US patients spend a mere 16 minutes on average per physician consultation. Add that up and you get just over an hour of face-to-face time per year, per patient. Looking at it a different way, there are 8,760 hours in a year. We therefore only spend, on average, one of those hours in direct contact with a physician. That comes up to 0.01% of our "annual time" yet many spend between 10% and 20% of their annual disposable income on health insurance and health-related expenses. In fact, the US economy spends a combined total of over 17% of its GDP on healthcare.
Such figures are startling for two reasons. First, US doctor visits are surprisingly low, especially when compared with figures from other developed countries like Germany or Japan (hardly countries with a greater prevalence of hypochondriacs).
Secondly, and perhaps even more unsettlingly, these figures beg the question of what exactly happens between these (infrequent) visits? After all, health is not usually a binary thing where you're doing fine one day and bad the next. Most of our health systems and resources are consumed by patients with chronic diseases which daily have them teetering on the edge of an acute incident. Think of conditions such as diabetes, COPD, asthma, depression, … According to AHRQ, just 5% of the US population accounts for almost half (49 percent) of total health care expenses. Similarly, the 15 most expensive health conditions (most of them chronic diseases) account for 44 percent of total health care expenses.
Between medical visits, physicians have little or no quantitative or qualitative data as to their patient's daily condition. Are they complying with their medication regimens? Are they having any side effects or seeing only mild results? What is their general state, both physically and emotionally? Are things deteriorating or stable? Are they exercising, eating or sleeping well? Almost all of these types of questions currently go unanswered and/or un-tracked. Physicians see patients either when they set an arbitrary follow-up appointment or when the patient's condition has deteriorated enough for them to call-in. By then it is often late (remember, Americans don't like visiting doctors and many avoid visits for economic reasons) and the physician only has the patient's word/testimony to fill in the gaps between their last visit. Few physicians are readily accessible for phone consultations and only 13% ever communicate with their patients via e-mail.
Meanwhile, patients may also feel disconnected and disengaged from not only their care providers, but also from their very own therapy. Do they get daily reminders/tips/encouragement? Are they tracking their own history of compliance and overall health/wellbeing? Are they easily getting answers to their occasional questions, however silly or trivial? Do they feel someone or something is watching over them and is available on THEIR schedule?
This daily communication gap (chasm?) between patients and caregivers is a situation begging for a technological solution that can genuinely transform the patient engagement experience. While the advent of mobile health, phone apps and IoT have each promised to make patients healthier and more engaged, none have been able to create a truly integrated and bi-directional communication platform. Connected applications and devices are usually standalone, poorly integrated with each other and often only provide information back to users. "Congratulations! You took 4,327 steps today!" So what? Does this information go into my record? Does my physician get to see it? Now what?
What patients and care givers need is a truly engaging communication platform which can educate, inform, measure, track, coach and even listen IN BETWEEN medical visits. So what technology can do all this? Chatbots can.
Chatbots, are the next logical evolution in patient engagement. Riding on ubiquitous messaging platforms like Facebook Messenger with over 1 billion active users and leveraging emerging Artificial Intelligence capabilities, Chatbots are uniquely poised to reinvigorate patient communication & engagement, and thereby transform healthcare.
4. Chatbots are, by definition, conversational and highly interactive. That's something we humans can more easily relate to.
5. They are extremely easy to use. If you've ever sent a text message or clicked a "like" button, you already know how to use them.
6. They are accessible anywhere and anytime.
7. For developers, Chatbots are extremely easy, fast and cost-effective to create.
At Medtech Mojo, we are developing the first-ever Healthcare-dedicated patient engagement platform that is based on the very latest Chatbot technologies and capabilities. With our combined 45+ years of Medtech & Pharma experience, Pascal Malengrez and I are creating a digital health platform that enables anyone across the Healthcare spectrum to quickly and easily create their own Chatbot for patients.

Searching for Plan B in Afghanistan
Discontent is growing in Washington and London over Obama's strategy, but concrete alternatives are hard to find.
by Gregg Carlstrom
A US soldier and a bomb-sniffing dog patrol in the desert in Helmand province [Reuters]
The White House has sought to put a positive spin on Afghanistan's parliamentary elections on Saturday, dispatching two senior administration officials late on Thursday to host a background conference call with reporters.
They emphasised a few positive developments - new reforms that will likely reduce (though hardly eliminate) electoral fraud, the Afghan army's lead role in providing security - and called the vote another positive milestone for US president Barack Obama's new strategy.
Asked to provide concrete metrics in support of that view, though, they resorted to body counts: One official praised the "increased operational tempo" of a "campaign to target Taliban mid-grade leaders".
It was hardly a reassuring argument, given that General Stanley McChrystal, the previous US and Nato commander in Afghanistan, said enemy body counts "distract from the real objectives and [aren't] necessary to communicate what we're trying to achieve." (He stopped releasing them.)
Obama's Afghan strategy, unveiled last winter after a lengthy strategy review, has always sat uneasily with many observers. Some doubted his decision to escalate the war at all; others questioned his focus on southern Afghanistan, his lofty goals for training the Afghan army and police, his confidence in the Afghan government's ability to deliver basic services. There was little consensus that Obama's strategy was the right one.
Today that consensus has all but collapsed. Nato promised a major push to secure Helmand and Kandahar provinces, but seven months after the "battle of Marja" - the sparsely-populated hamlet in Helmand that somehow became a centerpiece of Obama's new strategy - the security situation in the south remains grave: Insurgent attacks in Kandahar and Helmand have increased by 40 per cent and 219 per cent, respectively.
Security has also worsened significantly across the east, and in six provinces in northern Afghanistan; and efforts to improve governance have proceeded in fits and starts, hindered both by insecurity and by an often corrupt and predatory central government.
Against that backdrop, then, it is little surprise that calls for an alternate strategy are gaining attention in Washington, even if many of the loudest voices struggle to articulate exactly what that strategy might look like.
A vague 'Plan B'
The highest-profile effort is a report released earlier this month by the 46-member "Afghanistan Study Group (ASG)," composed mostly of academics and think tank analysts, many of them longtime critics of Obama's strategy.
The sluggish progress in Helmand has delayed a planned military offensive in Kandahar [Reuters]
The report, "A New Way Forward," proposes a five-point policy: It recommends a "fast-tracked" reconciliation process with insurgent groups; a greatly reduced US military force; a stronger emphasis on economic development, and on "engaging regional and global stakeholders"; and a "renewed focus" on al-Qaeda.
"We've moved away from confidence in the current plan and we haven't moved towards anything," said Steve Clemons, a senior fellow at the New America Foundation and one of the report's authors. "The big thing is have this report to serve as a vehicle and as a holding place for constructive, credible, alternative thinking about current policy."
But reaction to the report has been mixed, even from those who disagree sharply with current policy in Afghanistan.
Michael Cohen, a senior fellow at the American Security Project - and a frequent critic of Obama's strategy - said the ASG report "fails to deliver" an alternative. Joshua Foust, a military analyst who writes extensively on Afghanistan, called it "an exercise in determined ignorance".
Why such a critical response? One reason is that the report often seems to restate current policy. Obama's first Afghanistan strategy review, concluded 18 months ago, echoed the ASG's call for economic development: It called for a renewed focus on helping Afghanistan "develop an economy dominated by illicit drugs". And the president's second review, which wrapped up in December, urged a "more effective partnership with Pakistan," much like the ASG report does.
The goals are uncontroversial, in other words; the challenge is execution.
"For almost twenty years now, the UN has tried to gather precisely these countries to develop a common regional interest in ending the conflict inside Afghanistan," Foust wrote, referring to regional stakeholders like India, Pakistan and Iran. "It's come to naught."
In an interview, Clemons pushed back against the idea that the report simply restates current policy. He argued that the US should be doing more: setting higher barriers to capital flight in Afghanistan, for example, to prevent tens of millions of dollars from leaving the country for Dubai; or working harder to ratchet down regional tensions between India and Pakistan.
"We're not doing the kinds of things that would be enormously significant," Clemons said. "For instance, the notion of what you could do for a billion dollars in trust-building between India and Pakistan with the Indus River valley, flood relief, a lot of these other issues... we're just doing reactive stuff."
Internal inconsistencies
There are some other notable analytical omissions and logical contradictions in the ASG report. Steve Coll, the president of the New America Foundation, noted that "the report is silent on the question of training the Afghan security forces", a key goal if the US wants to create any kind of lasting security in Afghanistan.
Afghan Elections

Interview: Suraya Pakzad, women's rights activist

Interactive: Election Violence
The report calls for focusing on economic development, but it says little about how to provide the security that is generally a prerequisite for growth.
Clemons argued that the size of the US military presence does not necessarily correlate with stability: As the US occupation has increased over the last nine years, stability has decreased. But the reverse is not necessarily true, and security-conscious NGOs and companies might be even more reluctant to work in Afghanistan following a major pullout.
"I support the notion of stronger economic development, but how do you do both, development and a drawdown?" asked Brian Katulis, a senior fellow at the liberal Center for American Progress.
Similarly, the report argues that the US occupation of Afghanistan is a major driver of radicalisation in the region. It "lends credence to jihadi propaganda about America's alleged hostility to Islam", the authors note.
But Faisal Shahzad, the Pakistani-American who tried to set off a car bomb in New York's Times Square in May, told investigators he was angry about the US drones bombing targets in northwest Pakistan - exactly the sort of "light-footprint" approach advocated by the ASG report's authors.
A 'ballooning' war
Mosharraf Zaidi, a Pakistani journalist and one of the contributors to the report, acknowledged that the ASG does not present a comprehensive strategy. But he argued that the Pentagon and the White House, not the report's authors, should be responsible for detailed planning.
"I find much of the analysis to be reasonable, if somewhat lacking in depth," Zaidi said. "It's important to remember that this is not a policy analysis exercise; it is an exercise in trying to stimulate debate around alternatives."
And for all the criticism directed at the ASG report, there is indeed a growing debate about alternatives. Gilles Dorronsoro, an Afghanistan expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, called Obama's strategy counterproductive and earlier this month urged an immediate dialogue with the Taliban.
And the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), a respected British think tank, said in a recent report that Nato's counterinsurgency strategy has "ballooned" out of proportion to the original goal of the war: preventing al-Qaeda from launching attacks from Afghanistan.
IISS warned that the ever-escalating war will leave "Western states... pinned down militarily and psychologically in Afghanistan", an outcome not "in the service of their wider political and security interests". John Chipman, the director of IISS, urged the US and Nato to abandon their counterinsurgency effort and focus on a narrow containment strategy.
Paul Pillar, a former CIA analyst and one of the ASG report's contributors, echoed that point at a panel discussion in Washington earlier this month, reminding the audience that al-Qaeda has been largely driven from Afghanistan.
"Much of the discourse has lost sight of what's at stake in Afghanistan," Pillar said.

Q: Block scroll event in knockout.JS I need to reimplement the scroll functionality over an overflow area, so that the mousewheel changes the current selection rather than the scroll position.
To do this at the very least, I need to block the default scroll action of the browser.
From what I can tell knockout does this by default, provided that you don't return 'true' from the event handler.
However it doesn't seem to work, nor does calling 'preventDefault' on the event explicitly. This problem must be specific to the scroll event.
scrolled: function (vm, event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    return false;
}

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/vjLqauq5/2/

A: Hat tip to Andrey for pointing out that you should use the mousewheel event rather than the scroll event.
<div class="container" data-bind="foreach: items, event: { mousewheel: scrolled }">

From the mousewheel event, deltaY will give you the scroll direction, which you can use to change which item is selected:
scrolled: function (vm, event) {
    var direction = Math.sign(event.deltaY), // 1 is down, -1 is up
        maxIdx = vm.items().length - 1,
        selectedIdx = vm.items.indexOf(vm.selected()) + direction;
    if (selectedIdx >= 0 && selectedIdx <= maxIdx) {
        vm.selected(vm.items()[selectedIdx]);
    }
    // return false; // implied as long as you don't return true
}

One of the things I love about the family-focused Club Med resorts: homemade, gourmet baby food at every meal. Today's brunch at Club Med Sandpiper Bay in Florida featured pureed roast turkey with mashed potatoes. I saw several babies sucking it down with every evidence of enjoyment.
Awesome! A restaurant that serves baby food is a great idea. I am introducing solids to my baby and it'll be fantastic if every restaurant or diner I went have something to offer to my sweet pea.

The Green Knight: 1982 - What a vintage!
1982 - What a vintage!
In honor of Katie's 30th birthday, we hosted a small dinner last night featuring wines from her vintage, 1982. It was a fun chance to reminisce about what was happening in our lives and in the world 30 years ago. Top movie: Chariots of Fire. Top song: Eye of the Tiger. Top world event: Katie's birth!
Note that, for the the red wines, we did a south-to-north tour of Saint-Julien, finishing with Leoville Las-Cases, which is separated from the vaunted Chateau Latour of Pauillac by only a stream.
It was a wonderful night. Many thanks go out to Katie's sister, Kelly, who ensured that the meal came together, and to her boyfriend, Mike, who ensured that he and I stayed out of the way. :-) Most of all, thanks to Katie for being born. As someone said last night, she should turn 30 more often!!!
