Equipped with a powerful engine, Suzuki's Advanced Traction Control System**, a balanced KYB suspension, plus ABS-equipped Brembo and NISSIN brakes, the GSX-S1000F ABS is a street bike packed with some serious performance. Top that performance off with wild, rugged, and aggressive styling, a wind-cheating fairing and screen, and you have a touring-ready sportbike ready for the open road or corner carving.
The low seat height of 815 mm (32 in.) contributes to the sporty, yet upright riding position and aids rider confidence at stops.
*Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please drive carefully and do not overly rely on ABS. **The Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider's throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when the rider enters a turn and/or applies the brakes. Neither can it prevent the front wheel from losing grip. For your safety, always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing when riding any motorcycle or ATV. Never ride under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Study your owner's manual and always inspect your Suzuki before riding. Take a riding skills course. For the MSF street course nearest you, call 1-800-446-9227. Off-road riders can enroll in the DirtBike SchoolSM by calling 1-877-288-7093. ATV riders can call the SVIA at 1-800-852-5344 and we'll even pay for the training.

Also competing in Dun Laoghaire, and winning overall in the Dragon Class, was Jamie Ritchie crewing on Phantom (David Wiliams) along with RStGYC Rear Commodore Peter Bowring.


I have an ICD2 R23 and it handles 2010 devices without problem, but I can not reliably program 3010 devices!
I will have to try Olin's fix.
Ok. Tried Olin's fix and it works.
I am using the AC162049 programming adapter (which is just a quick release socket and jumpers to set the power and programming pins) and I didn't want to make any permanent changes so I just installed the two caps to ground, and didn't add any series resistance. Works fine now to program the dsPIC30F3010 parts.
I am just happy to see I didn't blow up my dsPIC due to my interfacing or <?programming?>. The ICD2 initially recognized the dSPIC30F2010, but after a couple debug cycles displayed the "Invalid target device ID error."
2) If one does the mods outlined here, will there be any issues with communicating with other PICS? I also use the 18F452.
Is there a recommended modification that will work with both, preferibly without jumpers?

Epping Forest is brimming with colour all year round, sporting a palette of hues fit to rouse envy in most painters. Its flora is diverse, with over 650 plant species recorded, and it contributes massively to the beauty and health of the Forest, its creatures, and the landscape around London and Essex.
Wildflowers are those which are native to the Forest, or have become naturalised over a long period of time. These plants are among the most varied the Forest has, and offer most of its colour through Spring and Summer.
Wanstead Park's Chalet Wood is positively taken over with bluebells in Spring, and that spectacle has become a widely photographed, painted and even poeticised one each year. 2014 saw an entire month long exhibition of bluebell inspired works at The Temple. Elsewhere in the Forest's woodlands you can see the soft cream tones of wood anemones and the piercing magenta of red campions.
In the grasslands other flowers abound, with the bright white of oxeye daisies speckling much of the view, and hills clad with the contrasting greens, blues, reds and purples of various vetches with their spiny leaves and velvety bell-like flowers. A stone's throw away you might find bright golden birds-foot trefoils, rosey knapweeds and restharrows, and the lavender coloured sprays of the colourfully named devil's bit scabious.
And with their abundance in the Forest, even a short walk in summer might feature most of these wildflowers.
Not to be confused with their hothouse cousins, Epping Forest has a modest selection of native 'hardy' orchids ranging from common to relatively hard to find.
The easiest to find is the common spotted orchid, which generally blooms in summer throughout grasslands and open woods as a tall, conical spray of plume shaped pink, purple or white flowers; each delicately spotted with darker shades.
The pyramidal orchid is less common, flowering discretely in summer among the grassy banks of the Forest. Its bloom looks almost pinecone shaped when budding, and that tight bulb of petals explodes into pinks and magentas in July and August.
The least common of the Forest's orchids is the broad-leaved helleborine, which is the most diminutive in terms of flare and bright colours as well as frequency of appearance. Its small, downy flowers present thinly in muted deep greens and reds atop stiletto-like stalks with broad, deep green leaves. Its flowers slightly resemble the man eating plants of fantasy film and TV, albeit somewhat smaller!
The Forest has a broad variety of scrubs which dwell in its grasslands or beneath its canopy; many of these scrubs are vital to its ecology. The dense and often thorny reaches of scrub are ideal nesting places for birds, protecting them from predators, providing refuge in stormy weather, and providing food as well; both for birds and for mammals.
The most recognisable scrubs in the forest are likely holly and hawthorn. Both thrive in the Forest and provide ample food for birds toward winter in the form of their bright red berries, and their spiny leaves and stems call for caution from walkers!
Blackthorn and buckthorn spread throughout the Forest too, with the former perhaps best known for its sloes and their various medicinal uses. Sloes are, however, vital to birds, voles, bats and other creatures, and so we have byelaws in place to protect them. We ask that visitors please refrain from foraging them.
Gorse and broom, with their bright yellow flowers, proliferate through the Forest as well; in fact doing so a bit too much, and calling for regular thinning and removal by our staff and by the Epping Forest Conservation Volunteers.
There are a number of ferns in the Forest, ranging in scale from the large royal fern down to the inch-high common adders-tongue fern. Ferns conjure images of the Jurassic but, as a family, are older still: with fossilised fern having been found that dates to 360 million years ago. Fern is well known for surviving in less hospitable places, which is perhaps its secret for having such a prolonged pedigree.
Epping Forest also has many species of mosses including the nationally rare forster's knothole moss.
Mosses, whilst often rather plain in appearance, do various important jobs for the Forest and may present the most unsung heroes of the Forest's greenery. The clumps they form help to prevent soil erosion and offer hiding places for small mammals, these in turn attract birds who assist in spreading the seeds of many other plants, and retain water in the soil that helps to germinate those seeds.

ELKHART, Ind. -- Pizza Hut has offered to rehire the manager of a northern Indiana restaurant who was fired over his refusal to open up on Thanksgiving Day.
"I said, 'Why can't we be the company that stands up and says we care about our employees and they can have the day off?'" Rohr told WSBT-TV.
Pizza Hut's corporate office issued a statement Wednesday saying it respects an employee's right to not work on the holiday and that the store owner has agreed to reinstate Rohr.
"This was clearly an unfortunate situation, and we are very upset by what has transpired in Elkhart," the company statement said. "While the choice as to whether a restaurant should be open or closed on a holiday is handled at the local level by our independent franchisees, we feel strongly that this situation could have been avoided."
Rohr said he hasn't decided yet whether to accept the job offer.
"That's something I can't decide right away," he said.

Scotland's answer to School of Rock gets £300K to triple numbers
By Katherine Sutherland -
SCOTLAND'S real-life answer to School of Rock has been awarded a £300,000 grant by lottery chiefs.
Dads Rock in Edinburgh is a nursery group run by men where youngsters get a healthy serving of Queen classics alongside their morning snack.
Like something out of Jack Black's classic comedy, youngsters get to play guitars, drums and other instruments.
Dads Rock, which started two years ago, offers free sessions to 70 pre-school children.
The Big Lottery cash worth £287,000 will allow founders David Marshall and Thomas Lynch to start new groups catering for 180 dads and their children.
The Queen fanatics started Rock Dads because most nursery groups are run "by mums, for mums".
David, 35, dad to Freya, 5, and Finlay, 18 months, said: "It gets pretty rowdy.
"The kids love it because they're allowed to make noise.
"We've got the guitars, I'm running around jumping up and down like a plonker. The kids respect that it's their daddy.
"At the end it's like we're all jumping off the stage. Queen always end with We Will Rock You, and so do we."
Thomas, 40, said: "We wondered where all the dads were. A lot of playgroups are by mums, for mums. It can take a lot of confidence to walk into a big group."
The pair also run a "Rock Academy" for children aged five to 16 who have been bitten by the music bug.
Thomas added: "It's only 2 years since we started. I don't think it's really sunk in yet – it's really exciting. It just goes to show people really are interested."
One father, David Millar, 35, whho uses the Wester Hailes playgroup with his one year old son Matthew. Said: "It's great to talk to other dads. There's not a lot out there for fathers, especially those who are struggling for help."
The chairman of the Big Lottery Fund Scotland, Maureen McGinn, said: "This funding will reach out to those men who might not otherwise have the confidence to attend a playgroup session or speak openly about their concerns as a parent.
"I'm delighted that this investment will enable their work to expand, helping many more fathers like David to develop their confidence and self esteem."

controller.controller Sneaky Dees, Toronto ON, February 13

By Ian Gormely
Headlining the "Past" night of Wavelength's "Past, Present and Future"-themed 15th anniversary were long-lost TO band controller.controller. Once a leading light of the local scene, the band imploded in 2007. But with the pressure of living up to their hype gone, the five-piece appeared relaxed and amiable, if a little rusty (something the group itself admitted) on the tiny Sneaky Dees stage.
Singer Nirmala Basnayake led the group through tracks from their debut EP and lone album. "History" and "Silent Seven" got the crowd grooving, but a busted bass guitar halted the proceedings. A bit too long of a wait later, they got the show back on track with "Poison/Safe," their best-executed song of the evening.
During their initial run, controller.controller often came across as detached and aloof, a quality that certainly separated them from your average dance-punk band (an important weapon to have in the mid-2000s). Here, that all melted away into a performance that seemed as joyous and cathartic for the band as it was for the audience.

Arsenal are finalising plans for a pre-season visit to Nigeria this summer.
Officials from the London club visited Nigeria last month to inspect facilities and met with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to discuss the tour, scheduled for July.
On Friday, organisers DanJan Sports and Arsenal officials met at the Emirates Stadium to finalise details.
"There is a strong desire to connect with our fans in Africa and the first step starts in Nigeria."
The club traditionally hosts an annual pre-season tournament at the Emirates Stadium, but they opted to postpone the event for a year because of the 2012 London Olympics.
As part of their preparation for the 2012/13 season, the club have opted to connect with their huge fan base in Africa, by visiting the continent.
David Omigie of DanJan Sports, a Fifa-licensed match agent said: "This is very big because Arsenal has got a huge fan base in Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa."
"It was very important to meet others from different departments of the club and everyone is excited with the trip to Nigeria."
In July 2008, DanJan Sports brought two other English clubs, Manchester United and Portsmouth, to the Nigerian capital Abuja for pre-season friendly.
Manchester United took on Portsmouth before Pompey then played against Nigeria Premier League (NPL) side Kano Pillars.
The English Premier League is hugely popular in football-mad Nigeria, with millions of fans following the league on both terrestrial and satellite television.


This modern square door stop bumper is mounted to the floor, allowing the bottom of the door to contact it. It is easy to install with the included mounting hardware. This is one the quickest floor mounted door stops to install because the ring goes all the way around the bumper, allowing you to install it just about anywhere on the floor for door contact. Drill one hole and it's done. If using near a wall, you want to mount this in a position so that the bumper makes contact before the door lever hits the wall. Thus protecting not just the door, but the wall and door lever as well.

Election Update: What Would Bill Shorten Mean For Australian Workplaces?
Home›Insights›Election Update: What Would Bill Shorten Mean For Australian Workplaces?
The only industrial relations policy that appears to be getting any significant attention in this campaign is the ALP's policy to protect penalty rates. However, the ALP is proposing far more significant changes that will change the industrial relations landscape. From an employer perspective, these are not changes for the better.
The irony, of course, is that the existing Fair Work Act is ALP legislation. The current Act is predominantly the same legislation adopted by the former Rudd and Gillard ALP Government.
While the Liberals have made some amendments to the Fair Work Act, the key changes have enhanced protections and benefits for employees. This includes the Liberal Government introducing additional protections for vulnerable workers, and introducing enhanced National Employment Standards including family and domestic violence leave and rights for carers.
Reversing Decision of Independent Umpire
It is well known that the ALP has committed to reversing the decision made by the Fair Work Commission back in February 2017, which was set to reduce weekend penalty rates in some awards. The Fair Work Commission made these changes after considering detailed evidence and submissions – including responses from Unions.
In condemning the decision, the ALP is in effect condemning the independent process put in place by the Rudd and Gillard ALP Government.
In addition to reversing these past decisions, the ALP has indicated it will legislate to prevent the Fair Work Commission varying awards if the variation resulted in a reduced take home pay for any employee.
Both these policies significantly undermine the independence of the Fair Work Commission.
Labour Hire Licensing – Watch the Red Tape
Just like the State Labor Governments in Queensland and Victoria, if elected the Federal ALP have indicated they will introduce a national scheme to licence labour hire providers in the country. This is further red tape and cost for both labour hire businesses, and companies that utilise labour hire workers.
The ALP has also indicated it would introduce legislation which requires businesses that engage labour hire workers to provide those workers with the same terms and conditions as their own employees. To date, many attempts by unions to include terms regarding conditions for labour hire workers in enterprise agreements have been unsuccessful on the basis that they are not 'permitted matters' – this change would dramatically alter the landscape and reduce many of the benefits employers enjoy in utilising more flexible agency workforces.
'Insecure work' has long been on the ALP's agenda. In addition to creating a right for all casual employees to convert to permanent after 6 months, under the ALP's policy, engagement of casual workers would be impacted by the introduction of an objective statutory test that would be the benchmark for establishing whether a worker is or is not really a casual. While this may avoid the issues seen last year in the WorkPac case, there are concerns that this test would result in the recognition of a large proportion of 'casual workers' as permanent employees.
Additionally, the ALP has previously indicated that it would move to disallow the amendment to the regulations passed by the Government last year that enabled businesses to off-set annual leave entitlements against casual loading already paid which could impact the flexible benefits to employers of the casual workforce and create enormous costs in relation to workers found to be permanent and entitled to benefits such as accrued annual leave and personal leave.
Is there a future for the Gig Economy?
The ALP has further signalled that they are looking into ways to extend the operation of the Fair Work Act to include workers in the gig economy, such as Uber drivers or Menulog delivery people, and even considering allowing independent contractors to collectively bargain.
No-one is forced to work in the "gig economy". The rise of the "gig economy" is enabling many workers to work flexibly (including both younger workers, and people transitioning to retirement). It is also allowing many unskilled individuals to earn a living. The ALP's policy to increase regulation in this area is a backward step.
Multi-Enterprise Bargaining
Under an ALP Government, collective bargaining itself may be reworked to allow industry-wide bargaining in order to swing the balance of power, particularly in lower paid industry sectors. This would mean that employers wouldn't just be bargaining with their own employees. Rather, they would be effectively forced to bargain with not only all employees in the sector but their competitors as well – as an individual business' own bargaining interests may be tied to other employers who have different goals in the bargaining process. This is potentially taking industrial relations back to the pre-1990's and pattern bargaining.
Arbitration Power for Commission on Flexible Working Arrangements
The ALP has also stated it will give the Fair Work Commission the power to arbitrate on disputes about flexible working arrangements. Currently, employers have to give genuine consideration for requests of carers to work flexibility, including providing reasons if a request is not granted on the basis of reasonable business grounds. The ALP proposes to make these operational decisions subject to review by the Fair Work Commission.
New Criminal Liabilities
The ALP will likely seek to introduce new criminal offences of 'wage theft' as proposed by the Labor government in Victoria, vastly expanding the potential liability of employers in the event of contraventions of workplace laws.
"Putting down" the Construction Industry Watchdog
The Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC) is the national construction watchdog and has played a key role in investigating and prosecuting some of the CFMEU abuses in the construction industry.
The ALP has made it clear it will abolish the ABCC, but hasn't indicated what it will replace it with.
It is interesting to note that the ALP's Shadow Minister of Employment and Workplace Relations is Brendan O'Connor – who happens to be the brother of Michael O'Connor, the National Secretary of the CFMMEU.
The Campaign for Bill
The Unions are putting huge resources into the Federal Election. The ACTU are running a "change the government, change the rules" campaign. This involves a major media campaign as well as an on the ground campaign that is targeting 16 marginal seats around the country. The ACTU has indicated 2,500 union staff members are supporting the ALP during the election as "volunteer" campaigners.
Clearly the ACTU would like to see former senior union official Bill Shorten elected. He would be the most senior union official to hold this position since Bob Hawke.
Of course, even if the ALP forms Government, then unless they have a friendly Senate they may be unable to implement their policy agenda.
The ALP policies, when analysed carefully, may move Australian industrial relations backwards to a centralised, inflexible and adversarial system.

Usually its bright orange (hot water) & bright blue (Cold water) with brass fittings (pipe connections and at the manifold).
The leaks are caused by the splitting of the pipe or the brass fitting failing and letting go.
There is no other option other than removing the kitec from the building and replacing it. If the plumbing conduits are buried in the slab the only option is to replace with flexible piping.
New PEX piping is recommended for replacement, like uponor cross linked polyethylene piping. If the plumbing runs are in bulkheads you can either replace the Kitec with Uponor or with copper piping Type L which has life expectancy of 30 years.
Uponor has a 25 year warranty from the manufacturer and has been used in Ontario for over 15 years and over 40 years worldwide.

Home Interview: The Past Still Afflicts the Linguistic Diversity in Kosovo
Interview: The Past Still Afflicts the Linguistic Diversity in Kosovo
Multilingualism is still regarded as a responsibility of the educational system in Kosovo, yet the majority of schools practice the use of only one language in the classrooms.
The issue of multilingualism in Kosovo, within an education system that is mainly divided along the ethnic lines, still reflects the past and divisions that weigh upon the linguistic diversity.
The Language Commissioner at the Government of Kosovo, Slaviša Mladenović, says in an interview for forumZFD's Dealing with the Past blog that linguistic policies in Kosovo focus on the standards of official languages, yet the situation with regards to the observation of bilingualism is still dire. He says that more time is needed to leave the past behind and learning the language of each other shall narrow the division gap.
Serbeze Haxhiaj: What is the current situation with the observation of the official languages in Kosovo, at all levels of the state administration, and in the judicial system?
Slaviša Mladenović: It does not take much to realize that the situation is bad. It suffices to take a look at the official webpages of the government institutions – not all of them – and the status quo is obvious. Then, based on an assessment that we carry out, as the Office of the Language Commissioner, the situation appears to be more dire because we understand the roots of the problem. That meagre level of observation of the law is more a result of the support provided by external projects rather than by the institutional resources and will. There is a pronounced lack of staff and staff is discouraged to work in this sector, and we have a generation of people who know Serbian well but who are aging. Unfortunately, the generation of the post-'90s have little knowledge of Albanian or Serbian languages. However, the lack of willingness of many political officialsto apply the law on bilingualism and not to breach the principle of language non-discrimination in Kosovo lies at the heart of this problem.
The same goes for the Serb majority municipalities. They likewise fail to observe the law of using Albanian language. The way how an Albanian feels in Zubin Potok, that is how a Serb in Gjakovë/Djakovica feels.
SH: What contributes mostly to this situation of linguistic division and exclusion?
SM: Because this entire time the message of observing official languages and respecting the language of the other was not conveyed. The Law on Languages did not arise naturally or as something that we did. Instead, it was imposed by the Comprehensive Proposal for the Resolution of the Status of Kosovo, known as the Ahtisaari Package. As long as this spirit continues, the law will not be observed.
SH: We notice the crisis for translators in everything related to the state administration and the judiciary. How can we narrow this gap sooner?
SM: We are currently facing negative trends. We cannot build new capacities. What is happening makes no sense. Even if there were no Serbs in Kosovo the country is surrounded by neighbours who speak Serbian or Croatian. Just as there is the Albanistics department in Belgrade, this should also be in Mitrovicë/a, Niš or Vranje.
SH: For a long time, the Serbo-Croatian language was the "lingua franca", and at the same time, especially after the'90s, Albanian language was excluded and denied. The situation reversed after the war in 1998-99. How did this affect multilingualism in Kosovo?
SM: Dealing with the past in the linguistic aspect means that we have to deal with a system such as Yugoslavia was, which no longer exists. At that time, Serbo-Croatian was the language of the administration and official communication, and the majority had the same language. It was the language of the majority of the population. Only the Hungarians and the Albanians were more left out. This resulted in most Albanians communicating in Serbo-Croatian. Now, the inertia goes in the opposite direction of what used to be for more than half a century.
SH: What can create a more sustainable bridge in the use of languages and interethnic communication?
SM: There are two main things: there exists a group of people from both sides who want to learn the languages of each-other. This is demonstrated by our analysis and the interest of people to attend language classes. Over 800 people applied for 300 places only through our platform "Voc- Up", a digital platform to learn Albanian and Serbian languages online. I feel that the ice is slowly breaking. However, a stronger message from the leadership is needed. One of the mistakes that the leadership in Kosovo and Serbia did was to exclude languages.
SH: Your office has drafted a strategy to strengthen the mechanisms that promote multilingualism, why is the Government not approving this strategy?
SM: This gives the same message. This message means that the failure to approve this strategy for so many years indicates that observation of the official languages and the languages of the other communities are not a priority. Each should understand that multilingualism is also a strength for those entering in the labour market, as they are more competitive than the others. In this way, we shall be more competitive in the regional market.
SH: Why do you think there is resistance to this document?
SM: It is not a priority at all. If a Prime Minister does not convey the message that he has the willingness to mitigate a problem, which first and foremost is a problem of the state administration, the lower levels of the institutional hierarchy too shall not observe that law. This is a manifestation of a certain kind of unreal patriotism that in fact harms the state of Kosovo rather that brings it any benefit.
SH: However, you continue to realize some of the items in this strategy. One of these was your collaboration with opening the Balkanistics Program under the auspices of the Faculty of Philology. Do you believe that the program may help mitigate the crisis of translators?
SM: The Balkanistics is a very important step but not a sufficient one. At least 5 years are needed to learn a language properly. Also, it is important to establish a centre of foreign languages that can certify the knowledge of languages. Balkanistics has 11 students, mostly Albanians, and it was a type of compromise but not exactly the learning of the Serbian language. There were many Serbs interested in this program, but their high school diplomas (of the Serb parallel system) are not recognized.
SH: From the perspective of the social, cultural, and political cohesion in Kosovo, how did the past shape the relationship of citizens with the languages? Can balanced bilingualism help reduce animosity?
SM: One party only is not at fault for this. What brought on the war caused this damage too. This continued to be strongly felt everywhere. Learning the languages of each-other shall reduce the barriers and narrow the gap of divisions. Maybe more time is still needed to leave behind the past and the divisions but in general it would help warm the relations between communities. Of course, what has happened weighs heavily nowadays, but someone must terminate this long chain of excluding one another and not respecting the language of the other. Interethnic relations are better than they are presented. There is a loud minority that manifests bad relations, plants hatred and by such noise, plants divisions.
SH: There is a lot of discrimination towards other official languages at the local level, especially towards Roma language, which is official in Gračanica/Graçanicë. It is a language that has an unclear status even legally but what is being done to mitigate this confusion?
SM: The Roma language, as a second official language used in Gračanica/Graçanicë is not being fully observed. There is no translation staff. The ministry does not accept the municipality requests for a Roma language translator. Then, there is an added problem. Who would be admitted as a Roma language expert when we do not have an official language standard by any academic level institution in Kosovo or something similar. It is not clear what traditional language means. According to the law, it is not clearly defined what traditional language means. The law needs to define this issue more clearly.

This beautiful letter was written by a member of our Brain Aneurysm Support Group and is also a dear friend of mine. Robin was one of the first members of our group and has become one of the biggest advocates for The Joe Niekro Foundation I know. With her permission, I am sharing this letter she wrote to current Vice President of the United States, and two time aneurysm survivor, Mr. Joe Biden. This letter signifies not only Robin's passion to share her story and help others, but also to create the awareness throughout our governmental system, that the funding for aneurysm research, treatment and support is vital.
I am writing you as a fellow brain aneurism survivor. I have read with interest about your brain aneurism recovery and am greatly interested in what course you took to become rehabilitated so well and so completely. Although I have made great strides in my own rehabilitation, I still struggle enough to wonder what else I can be doing to make an even more complete recovery. I am hoping you can help me with this information.
In December of 2007, I suffered a burst brain aneurism and was air evacuated to Barrow's Neurological Institute in Phoenix. I spent a month in a coma and then another month in intensive treatment and rehab at that same hospital. Doctors considered it miraculous that I even survived and were amazed at my level of rehabilitation even by the time I was sent home. I have worked with specialists and teachers to regain my skills and now lead a normal life. However, when I see your total recovery, I have hope that there is more I can do to increase my skills and recovery. I realize that each case is different. I also believe that we can continue to improve and that sharing successful strategies is useful to us all.
As part of my rehabilitation, I have become involved with The Joe Niekro Foundation Brain Aneurysm Support Group. It has been a huge help to me. It is through this experience that I found my new purpose in life of helping raise funds for other people who have suffered a brain aneurism.
So, my purpose in writing is twofold. I am eager to learn what kind of program helped you gain back 100% of your skills. Any information or resources you can share would be greatly appreciated and I can share them with my support group as well.
Also, I would love to have your support of The Joe Niekro Foundation that raises funds for victims of brain aneurisms. Please note that March 14 through March 20 is Brain Aneurism Awareness Week.
I have great respect for you and very much appreciate your attention on this matter.
HATS OFF TO YOU ROBIN! WELL WRITTEN!


The Supreme Court should overturn a circuit-court ruling in Noel Canning v. NLRB that would hamstring the president's ability to make recess appointments.
Last November, I got a preview of the oral argument for National Labor Relations Board v. Noel Canning, the case about recess appointments that the Supreme Court will hear Monday. Noel Francisco, the attorney who will represent the Noel Canning company in challenging those appointments, was my debate opponent at my local Federalist Society chapter. I'm an academic on the progressive end of the spectrum with expertise in separation of powers law; I'd been invited as I sometimes am by conservative colleagues to represent that perspective with noted legal figures aligned with their point of view.
Francisco proved a powerful and congenial advocate. What intrigued me most was the clever narrative with which he framed his defense of the D.C. Circuit result. This narrative, I think, should be called the Myth of the Anti-Government Constitution.
The justices must decide whether Obama's three January 2012 appointments to the National Labor Relations Board properly fell within the president's constitutional power "to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session." The D.C. Circuit overturned the Obama appointments for two reasons, both supposedly rooted in the original meaning of this constitutional clause.
First, according to the court, the text would have been understood in 1787 to authorize presidential appointments only during breaks between sessions of the Senate, not breaks during sessions of the Senate. The disputed Obama appointments occurred on January 4, 2012, a day after a session of the Senate had formally convened but during a hiatus of three or 20 days—the scope of the relevant break is itself a matter of legal dispute—when the Senate was adjourned.
Second, two of three judges concluded that the president's power applies only to offices that actually become vacant during such an intersession Senate break. It would not apply to the National Labor Relations Board vacancies Obama filled in 2012—and assuredly not to many, if any, of the hundreds of other vacancies that, according to the Congressional Research Service, presidents have filled with recess appointees since 1981.
In defense of the Obama appointments, I argued that the D.C. Circuit's opinion has two glaring problems. First, a 2013 Third Circuit opinion, which held another NLRB recess appointment invalid on other grounds, conclusively demonstrated that the D.C. Circuit's textual analysis on the first point was wrong. State legislative practice around the time of the founding, the Third Circuit made clear, routinely understood "recess" to mean intrasession, as well as intersession breaks in legislative business.
Second, the D.C. Circuit's limitation of the clause to vacancies that first open up during a recess has not been followed since the 1820s. That limitation is so obviously impractical that I foresee no real prospect that the Supreme Court will endorse it.
But as Francisco told the story during our debate, the case has little to do with practicality and much to do with freedom. Making appointments a joint responsibility of president and Senate, he told the audience, reflected the Framers' belief that dividing power between the branches protects liberty by making it hard for government to act quickly or decisively. The "recess appointment" power is an afterthought, thrown into the Constitution to accommodate a problem that no longer exists—the long breaks between Senate sessions in the nation's new capital, and the difficulty, in an age of horses and buggies, of calling an emergency session. Hence, Francisco concluded, the power of making recess appointments should be defined narrowly in favor of maintaining the liberty-protecting system of Senate review of presidential nominations. It should not be an excuse for the president to usurp the power of the Senate.
Such is the Myth of the Anti-Government Constitution. In Francisco's narrative, it is not merely that the Framers wanted to avoid re-creating a monarchy. They actually sought to make it difficult for government to function. If the Senate can't come to terms with the president, then liberty demands that the government be paralyzed.
In April, 1787, in preparation for the Philadelphia Convention, James Madison prepared a document listing eleven "Vices of the Political System of the United States." The first seven of these defects—including "[w]ant of concert in matters where common interest requires it"—speak directly to the efficacy of government. Only the last three vices in his list had any sort of anti-government cast. The Framers, in John Marshall's words, "had experienced the embarrassments" of government under the Articles of Confederation. They wanted a government that worked.
Seen in this light, the narrow reading of the Recess Appointments Clause is perverse. There is nothing liberty-protecting in the capacity of the Senate to undermine public administration by stonewalling the nominations of perfectly qualified government officers. Senators did not object to the Obama NLRB nominees on the basis of qualifications. A minority—still equipped with the filibuster—wanted only to hamstring the NLRB.
Protecting the Senate's confirmation role at the expense of the president's appointments responsibility turns the constitutional design on its head.
Next week, Francisco will likely point out that we are no longer living in a horse-and-buggy world; the Framers could not have foreseen a Senate that can meet on a few hours' notice. Giving the Recess Appointments Clause its logical scope is no longer needed to overcome the inefficiencies of a legislative body difficult to reconvene.
But the Framers also did not foresee a Senate that would refuse even to debate, much less confirm, routine appointments. Giving the Recess Appointments Clause its logical scope addresses this problem directly. Luckily, the Framers did not write language addressing only 1787 issues. Instead, they gave us a text we can and should apply to the needs of our time.

PC Uitvaart Funeral rituals: what are the options?
We have rituals for many important events in our life, including death. Traditionally, the church played an important role in this. The deceased was commemorated during a church service – with all the accompanying rituals – and was taken from the church to the final resting place. Secularization has created room for new forms of mourning and commemoration that help us to say farewell. They provide a sense of connection, contribute to grieving and can provide comfort, in the moment and long afterwards.
Speeches, photos and films
More and more funerals are given a personal touch that helps loved ones to commemorate the deceased as he or she was. Examples include speeches in which memories and anecdotes are shared, the playing of music that played a role in the life of the deceased and photos and videos. In this way, the commemoration becomes not only a moment to share grief, but also a celebration of the life of the deceased person.
Ribbon ritual
Ribbons symbolize connection. During the ribbon ritual, one of the ends of the ribbon is placed in the hands of the deceased. When the coffin lid is closed, the other end of the ribbon will hang out of the coffin. The next of kin grasp this, after which it is cut. This is an emotional act, but the symbolic letting go of the deceased can help with processing grief.
Flowers can help express what is difficult to put into words. Or they reinforce what you want to say. That is why people often send funeral flowers to relatives of the deceased. But which flowers do you choose? Perhaps flowers that refer to a memory, for example a unique journey that the deceased has made. Or his or her favourite flower or colour. You can also be guided by the meaning of the different flowers. For instance, the rose symbolizes love and the lily, transience.
Rituals after the funeral
After the funeral, relatives often perform rituals to help them process their loss. These symbolic acts help on the one hand to release the deceased emotionally and on the other hand to keep his or her memory alive. For example:
placing a photo of the deceased in a special place in the house
burning a candle for the deceased
visiting the grave or the place where the ashes were scattered
carrying something with you that belonged to the deceased
planting a remembrance tree
creating tangible memories such as a stuffed animal, a commemorative box or a memorial album
Special commemoration days
When you lose a loved one, your memories may be your most valuable asset, as they help keep you connected to the deceased. But how do you commemorate people who are no longer there on special days? All Souls' Day, traditionally a Catholic ritual, is becoming increasingly popular in the Netherlands. On this day (November 2nd), there are candlelight vigils being held in more and more places, where the deceased are commemorated in a symbolic and respectful way. Lights often play an important role in this. The anniversary of the death is a day to reflect on the deceased, for example by visiting the grave or the place where the ashes were scattered. Relatives will also commemorate their loved one with extra attention on the deceased's birthday. This can be done, for example, by baking the favourite cake of the deceased or by toasting with his or her favourite drink.
Funeral rituals for children
It is often difficult for young children to understand what 'being dead' really means and to express their grief in words. Rituals can help to gently express their feelings so that they can say farewell in a good way. Here are a few examples:
decorating the coffin
helping to carry the coffin
handing out commemoration cards to those present
lighting a candle for the deceased
placing a drawing or a self-made gift with or in the coffin

David provided me with some interesting facts about Australian Chardonnay. Historically, Australian wines traditionally consisted of fortified wines such as Port or Sherry. However, there has always been a little of what was called table wine. These table wines were modeled after European wines so they were given names like Claret, Burgundy, Hock and Riesling. The grape varieties were not important and all sorts of grape varieties were blended together. Wines that had less floral flavors were called Chablis or White Burgundy.
The Australian wine known today as Chardonnay is a relatively recent arrival. The wine is named after the grape variety and must comprise at least 85% of the named varietal. The first Chardonnay vines arrived in Australia in 1862 through the efforts of James Busby, but the first commercial production of Chardonnay by Tyrrells did not happen until 1971. For a wine that is so fundamental to Australian wine, it is stunning that Australia only started working with it in 1971!
Australian Chardonnay started our as a very rich and buttery styled wine with alcohols around 14%-14.5%. The earliest Australian Chardonnays were fermented in stainless steel and then aged in oak. They did not undergo malolactic fermentation. Eventually, the Australians adopted fermentation and aging in French oak and complete malolactic fermentation. The ultimate example of this style was the Rosemount Show Reserve Chardonnay that was oak, buttery and alcoholic.
When the first of the hipster generation arrived, they said the Rosemount Show Reserve style was yesterday's wine and decided to make a "Chablis" style of Chardonnay instead. This style often did not undergo malolactic fermentation and had very little oak flavor. Eventually, change followed, and the Australian Chardonnay market now offers a range of styles.
The wines and some impressions. Not a bad wine in the bunch.
2015 Pahlmeyer Napa Valley Chardonnay $80. The most identifiable wine blind. Very oaky, big, ripe and creamy. Still, I would drink this wine and not complain too much.
2015 Cattleya Pratt Vineyard Russian River Valley Chardonnay 14.2% alc., $70. Superb in every way. I scored this wine 94 when reviewed previously. My favorite wine in this tasting along with the Paul Lato bottling.
2015 Rhys Alpine Vineyard Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay 13.0% alc., $79. Loaded with citrus fruit and shot through with excellent acidity, even high-strung. Seems less than full malo.
2016 Paul Lato East of Eden Pisoni Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay 14.5% alc., $80. Fruit veers to the ripe side featuring peach and tropical notes, but flat-out delicious. Seductively creamy in the mouth with enough acidity to avoid heaviness and the right touch of oak. My favorite Chardonnay in this tasting.
2015 LUMOS Wren Vineyard Willamette Valley Chardonnay 12.0% alc., $35. Both slightly under-ripe features of lemon-lime and green apple as well as riper notes of pear and white peach. A bolt of acidity runs through the wine.
2015 Gran Moraine Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley Chardonnay 13.0% alc., $45. A leaner, dry, slightly austere style featuring citrus and green apple fruits. Nicely integrated acidity and the slightest oak input.
2015 Haden Fig Juliette Willamette Valley Chardonnay 13.5% alc., $40. Steely with notes of graphite. Citrus and pear flavors that hold on to the finish.
2016 Walter Scott X Novo Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay $65. Acid and citrus driven, with complimentary notes of spice, toast and brioche. Very stylish, with brightness, vibrancy and edginess. Slightest sulfur on the nose. One of my favorites in this tasting.
2016 Dexter Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay 13.5% alc., $40, screwcap. Aromatically pleasing with scents of citrus, peach, and spice. Slightly viscous ending with a burst of citrus and a touch of matchstick. Many in our tasting group loved this wine.
2016 Tapanappa Tiers Vineyard 1.5m Picadilly Valley South 13.9% alc., pH 3.12, $55. 2018 Decanter World Wine Awards Best in Show. Vineyard planted in 1979, the first vineyard planted in the Adelaide Hills. Picadilly Valley is the second coolest and wettest location in South Australia. Dijon clones 76 and 95. Noticeable flinty, sulfur notes on the nose and finish. Stone fruits, grapefruit and brioche, finishing a bit sour on a soprano note. My least favorite wine in the tasting.
2016 Sorrenberg Victoria Chardonnay $55. 30% new French oak. Complete malolactic fermentation. 10 months of lees contact with stirring. I liked this wine a lot with its mineral-imbued, floral and spice nose. There is a charming spice from Sirugue French oak aging. Several tasters liked this wine including me.
2016 Kumeu River Hunting Hill Chardonnay $60. Vineyard first planted in 1982. Often a significant contributor to the Estate Chardonnay. Enchanting wine that us very giving but not heavy. Plenty of citrus, stone fruit and mineral aromas and flavors to please. Beautifully balanced and charming. One of my favorite wines in the tasting.
I thought the California, and Australia Chardonnays and one New Zealand Chardonnay were similar in style. The Oregon Chardonnays tended to be a tad leaner, lower in alcohol, with more acidity ( and less expensive). None of the wines in this tasting had noticeable diacetyl (butter) character.
The Australian Chardonnays tend to feature a flint/matchstick character (volatile sulfur compounds) which may or may not be pleasing depending on the intensity. Top end Australian consumers do like the struck match character in Chardonnay if it is not too strong. This matchstick character is similar to that found in some French white burgundies such as Coche-Dury and Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey. The flint character tends to be very subtle and often completely absent in domestic Chardonnays.

Q: Why was the wall raised where it stands? At some point, with the First Men and the Children of the Forest managing to fend off the Others, Bob (a.k.a. Bran) the Builder raised the Wall.
Well, why did he raise it there? Why not farther North? It seems like they could have driven the Others further North, towards the Lands of Always Winter. So, why didn't they? Is there anything special about the wall's current location? It doesn't even seem like the shortest line across the continent, which would be sort of a diagonal from the of the Antler to Westwatch-by-the-Bridge. Plus, it seems that whoever builds a bridge (or places a very large tree across the Gorge) can just sort of bypass the wall. So again - why there?

A: In The World of Ice & Fire: The Untold Story... the wall is mentioned as perhaps being raised by Brandon the Builder, King in the North.  It can be inferred that the wall follows the old border of his kingdom. Brandon got help from the children of the forest who by that time only existed north of this border.

Maester Childer's Winters King or the Legends and Lineages of the Starks of WInterfell contains a part of a ballad alleged to tell of the time Brandon the Builder sought the aid of the children while raising the Wall.

A: Because it's the least "wide" part of the island that's close to the north, requiring less material to build, while also providing as much safe land as possible.

A: The short answer is that there's more to a large scale construction project, especially in a wintry clime, then you are giving credit for, and when you take them into account a more northerly location may be extremely foolish.
Although magic was built into the wall, it was not built exclusively (or easily) with just magic. Actual manual labor was involved.
For such a large construction project one must take logistics into account. While there may be a "narrower" span of land further North, the further north you go the more difficult it becomes to get labor and supplies (for both the construction and the labor) to the site. This would also complicate keeping the wall garrisoned after its construction. Furthermore, attempting to do construction during (permanent) winter conditions makes things radically more difficult than building in an area where there is a more hospitable, warmer period during which to build. Modern northern (US) cities do essentially zero construction during the winter months, waiting instead for warmer periods; I know Michigan natives like to quip "In Michigan we have two seasons: Winter and Construction".
It also pushes you further into contested territories, making encounters with wildlings or Others more likely, which makes the construction all the more difficult.
You also haven't accounted for the terrain.  The "narrower" bits further north may be very unsuitable for the construction. It may be very far from flat, and the ground underneath may be of a material that is bad at supporting such a large structure (you wouldn't want it to collapse because of a sinking foundation, sinkhole, etc). The scenes we have seen from the TV show depicting the regions north of the wall all seem to be hilly, rocky, undeveloped terrain that would likely be problematic for construction.  Trying to clear and level an otherwise smaller stretch of land and reinforcing and enlarging the foundation would take more time and resources than where it was ultimately built. We have no records of what sort of surveying Bran may have done, but it's plausible that he considered a more northerly location and ultimately decided against it because there was a far more suitable construction site further south.
Adding to the weather problems, the further north you go the more it becomes "permanent winter". Winds will naturally deposit snows at the foot of the wall, creating a snow bank far deeper than otherwise would exist; the foot on the side where you don't want enemies to be able to simply scale up a huge mound of snow to surmount the wall, at that.  Such a build-up is what allows Theon and Sansa to escape Winterfell: they jump off a wall into a large build-up of powdery snow. Eventually, at such a massive height scale, the weight of the built-up snow may begin to compromise the wall itself. It may no longer be able to bear the weight of all the snow pressing against it; a large build-up would also eventually start compressing the ground beneath it, which may compromise the structural foundation of the wall. This compression also results in heating, which can cause a temperature differential between parts of the wall, which leads to stress. If the heat of the compression was eventually sufficient to melt the snow at the base, you then get additional problems: the water will start eroding the ground, seeping into any cracks in the structure or accumulating beneath the base and compromising the foundation, and if it refreezes later it will expand and put additional pressures on the wall and its foundation.  All of these work against the wall being a (semi-)permanent barrier, as it may permit nature herself to destroy the wall in a matter of years.
We don't have a lot of details about the exact functions of the wall, especially the magic that was intertwined with it.  Perhaps the magic not only acts as a barrier to the Others, but also was meant to be functional enough to counter some of these problems. After all, we see indications of it snowing several times at both the top and base of the wall, but there doesn't seem to be any significant build-up at the base. We see in this shot from the TV show that there is a few meters of snow built up at the gate, which has been cut through to allow transit through the gate:

It is mentioned that part of the duties of the Night's Watch is maintenance and repair of the wall, and to keep the forest from getting too close (this may simply be to prevent giving enemies cover, but also may be to prevent root systems from compromising the foundation). So a certain amount of damage from time and nature was already presupposed, meaning they must have tried to control how much damage could possibly accumulate so that it stayed manageable. But the forces of men and magic may not have been strong enough to counter what the wall would have to endure further north.  One way or another, when we account for the complications we are likely to encounter by moving the wall further north, it becomes reasonable that at some point it becomes untenable to build there.  And, seeing as the wall is where it is and lasted thousands of years, it seems it was determined that the best location for the wall is exactly where it is.
