Mmm, bread.
Rebecca Watson Follow on Twitter Send an email February 9, 2007
I have a special fondness for bold flavors — red wines, fragrant coffees, spicy curries — but for some reason, the food I crave most when I need comfort is a slice of soft bread with butter. I just ate six slices of bread for dinner.
This morning, I got an email from Steve saying my audio file for the podcast was crap and needed to be fixed. Instead of going out as planned, I rushed home after work to take care of it. So, now I'm home. Eating bread. Just when you thought I couldn't possibly get more glamorous, I start a hot new trend of staying in on a Friday night eating bread. This is what Paris Hilton's next leaked online video is going to be: night vision footage of her sitting in front of her computer with a headset on, cradling a loaf of Wonder Bread.
Then, just when sitting at home eating bread is all the rage, I'll change it up! Monday, February 12, you will be able to find me at the Redline in Harvard Square, celebrating Darwin Day. The party starts at 7pm, and I'll be there with fellow Skepchick blogger Evelyn! If you live in the area, please come say hi. You can even shake our hands, as I might be almost nearly sort of over my head-cold-from-hell by then.
If you don't live in New England and for some silly reason don't want to fly out here for the occasion, you can still be there in spirit by holding a celebration of your own. Here's a list of other events around the world happening on Darwin Day.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have some more bread to attend to for dessert.
Expatria says:
You're certainly not alone in this regard. I eat bread with butter fairly regularly. Lately I've taken to eating about half of a baguette of french bread in one sitting as a breakfast or sometimes an afternoon snack.
I also used to love, as a kid, taking slices of white bread and sort of mushing and compacting them, rolling them into spheres, etc. I thought I was innovating something, which for some reason I called 'bread-dough' despite there already being a perfectly legitimate product of the same name. I think I thought I was un-baking it, though who knows what thoughts run through the mind of a child playing with his food?
jbrader says:
You and me both Expatria.
N.R. Miller says:
Wow… its soo strange to see that so many people have the same strange interior monologue when dealing with smushed bread.
kellbelle1020 says:
Oddly enough, when I looked at the list of Darwin Day activities for Chicago, there only seemed to be church services. Strange.
P.S. I still love smushing up bread to eat it! Long live my inner child!
thad says:
Ah, those bread ball things… I used to eat the crusts off first just to make them more fun…
thad:
Of course! The crusts RUINED them. They had to go!
I can't believe that this bizarre activity was so popular in our collective childhoods. Mindblowing.
I wonder, though: was I the only one who would swish bits of Jell-O in his mouth until they liquefied, calling the procedure 'making Kool-Aid?' I have a feeling that, at least, will be somewhat less universal!
ft77 says:
I just had some bread and butter last night too. First time in a year or so.
GMTA eh?
exarch says:
I'm European. I eat bread and butter with something on top, like cheese, turkey or jelly.
Psamathos says:
My bread is all moldy. I have to settle for english muffins.
bug_girl says:
this reminds me–I should make some more challah bread. Our local bakery croaked, and it's the only way I can get it these days. :(
Toast and jelly is one of my favourite midnight snacks.
Is there a correlation between skepticism and eating bread? This demands further investigation!
Briarking says:
Expatria,
I never called it "Making Kool-Aid" or anything else, but I still like to liquify my Jell-O.
But these bread ball things you all are talking about? I think you may just be nuts. ;)
Melusine says:
Expatria, I squished Jello in my mouth, too. Didn't do the bread thing, but I liked stirring my chocolate ice cream until it looked like "cake batter" or chocolate soup.
I like good bread dipped in spicy olive oil or with cheese on top – oh, I could eat tons of that in one sitting. I'm also still a big fan of peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, but on Mrs. Baird's Honey 7 Grain Recipe. My father is a bread addict – I don't know anyone who eats as much bread as he does.
Expatria, there's a Greek bread & garlic dip that calls for rolling crustless bread into spheres just as you did. It may be your calling (that is if you're a fan of SERIOUS garlic intake).
Ha…well, Melusine, I am of Italian ancestry, so I've got a bit of a cultural fondness for garlic…so perhaps that works! I may have to look into that…a few Greek people live in my building here at school, so perhaps they'll know more about it.
I do really like a nice crusty bread with seasoned olive oil, sort of like what they give you at Bertucci's. But some of the best bread I've ever had comes from one of the best pizza places in CT (and, therefore, the US). It's a tiny place called Roseland (http://www.roadfood.com/Reviews/Overview.aspx?RefID=241) in the middle of nowhere (Derby, CT? Where??) but they have this fantastic homemade bread. Just thinking about it makes me homesick for both the bread AND the pizza. After all, if there's one thing the UK is NOT known for…it's pizza.
Briarking, if smushing bread is nuts, then I don't want to be sane! :-P
Expatria, ha, I know Derby, I had a psycho ex-boyfriend who lived there, but one of the best pizza places in CT is Rossini's in Cheshire. Best, best calzones…huge, great sauce, very busy place. I love talking about food; this guy and I verbally assaulted this CPA from CT sitting between us on the plane with food talk. Then if that wasn't enough, I made him look at the clouds (something he apparently never does) until he admitted they were cool. He didn't get any work done on his laptop. ;-)
The Greek dip, which has a consistency similar to hummos but is coarser and white, is called Skordalia (kind of pronounced scor-thy-yah):
11 slices of all-American white bread (like Sunbeam) without the crusts. Pour water over them and then squeeze the water out of them. Make your little spheres. Put in blender or food processor.
8 medium cloves of garlic (or more if you're feeling frisky). Strip them, press them into a pulp, put in blender with a 1/4 *good* olive oil. Add 3/4 juice of 1/2 lemon.
2 cans of white potatoes (preferably sliced and washed good, or as my father says, "to get rid of the taste of formaldehyde"). Mash them and add to blender. Add 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp pepper (or a little less). It should have a coarse, pasty consistency.
I sat next to a bowl on Christmas Eve. It's so simple, but addictive. Just cut a loaf of good Italian or French bread into squares and it's an easy party food.
I also take a can of hummos, add a few shakes of garlic powder, lemon juice, olive oil, a little parsley for flair, salt & pepper to taste, and dip pita bread. It comes out tasting somewhat similar as Skordalia.
No vampires around here! :-)
Melusine,I grew up/lived for 15 years in Prospect, literally about 10 minutes from Rossini's…VERY good, though it doesn't top the best of the big Wooster St. pizzerias in New Haven or Roseland IMO. But when we wanted good pizza/calzones without traveling, that's where we went. And you're absolutely right about their sauce, now THAT may be the best of the CT pizza joints :)
Thanks for the recipe. Not too big a fan of potatoes (or hummos!), but I'll ask around and see what variations exist. I actually think that a girl from Cyprus on my floor was eating this not TOO long ago. But I usually get my garlic fix by doing the ever-slighted Pasta con Aglio e Olio. If restaurants even serve it, It's usually one of the cheaper sorts of dishes, but I'll be damned if it isn't tasty and garlicky too.
Cethis says:
kellbelle1020
While the Western Chicago Suburban event takes place in a Unitarian Church, it is not a church service.
I'm not sure what kind of bread you guys are all talking about, but I'll bet it's that white, spongy, American bread that's pretty much good for nothing except making toast with.
The baker near the place I used to live with my dad said that they'd bought a loaf of bread once when in the US, and even though they left it in the car for a week or two, it was still kinda spongy and hadn't even gone moldy yet after two weeks. Now there's something seriously wrong with bread if it doesn't even go moldy. It's gotta be stuffed full of preservatives to manage that …
So, yeah, good bread should be the way it is at an Italian restaurant. Like the kind you get with olive oil and vinegar, or garlic butter.
exarch, I'm curious if the baker is talking about Wonder Bread…it's known for being particularly long-lived. Other more normal white breads were able to be mushed and dough-ified as well, though they aren't as good for other things (aside from toast/sandwiches). Many people only eat whole-grain breads, or wheat, or what have you, but I'm not one of them. I like those just fine too, particularly the dark brown oatmeal bread made at The Cheesecake Factory. But, while it's got little nutritional content, I'll make use of old-fashioned white bread more than the others.
But nowadays I really prefer rolls (esp. Portuguese rolls) for sandwiches and artisan breads if I'm going to go all out. Sourdoughs, french baguettes, peasant boules, crusty round Italian loaves. Those sorts of things. I can't say, however, whether THOSE kinds of breads are suitable for rolling/smushing.
>>Melusine,I grew up/lived for 15 years in Prospect,
Prospect doesn't really exist. :-)
That's an old joke – my best friend from high school was from Prospect, and her boyfriend would chide her about it; it's just kind of up there on the mountain. I know Prospect very well. You're a lot younger than me, I believe, but I wonder if Mr. Bartmess still teaches science at the school there.
Bread is good.
Hey you Darwin Dayists, take video! I've never seen a "Darwin Day" event, and I haven't seen Harvard Square for years. I bet everybody would love to see pictures. What will everybody be doing there? Blake Stacey should go "interview" you gals. :-)
I never would have guessed that you people would so readily discuss bread over Darwin. Live and learn!
Yes, video and photographic evidence will be provided! Thanks for the reminder — I'll toss my camera in my bag now.
Darwin ate bread.
exarch: Ew? No, I like good bread. I bounce between a bunch of different varieties, but I particularly like challah bread (awesome for French Toast!) and various kinds of rye. Yummy bread.
Blake Stacey says:
Melusine, I think I'm committed to attending Anime Night at a friend's apartment tomorrow evening. This is hardly a curse, mind you, but it puts me in Davis Square instead of the Harvard neighborhood.
Some other time, then.
You know, Blake, I figured you would come back with some reason, but at quick glance that is just the lamest excuse! :-)
Anime Night?…on Monday night? Those are supposed to be on Wednesday nights. ;-) Are DVDs not replayable? Will they crumble without your sparkling commentary and encyclopedic anecdotes?
~sigh~
~shaking head~
Oh well, Dawkins and Hitchens are supposed to be on CNN tomorrow night, so I guess that's how I'll spend Darwin Day. (Unless a famous, semi-famous or shouldn't-be-famous-in-the-first-place person does something out of the ordinary and bumps them again.)
Melusine,
Mr. Bartmess taught a class called 'Computers' to myself and everyone in my middle school, for one quarter out of each year. He also chaperoned our 8th grade Washington DC trip, and lived two streets away from me. Last I knew, before I moved from there in '04, he was still teaching. Heck of a nice guy.
I'm 25, by the by, so I may well be a lot younger or I may not. I'm just shocked to encounter someone who actually knows of my hometown…as you said, it doesn't really exist even to most people who live in the area!!
Rebecca,
Why, was Charles Darwin a good baker? Cause then we might be more inclined to talk about him. If you ever made a recipe for Darwin's Day bread, you'd succeed in pleasing us all. And if you shaped that bread like something vaguely naughty, you'd even unite bug_girl's pornwoo fans :-P
Sorry, but Darwin Bread HAS to be shaped like a fish with feet. There's no way around that.
But maybe you could also give the fish other attributes. Like external reproductive organs …

Norfolk Southern posts 16 percent decrease in 1Q profit
Norfolk Southern Corp. this morning reported first-quarter 2015 net income dropped 16 percent to $310 million compared with the same period a year ago. Diluted earnings per share were $1.00 compared with $1.17 per share in first-quarter 2014.
The results reflect a weak coal market as well as a slowdown in network velocity caused in part by severe winter weather, which also affected the company's expenses and volumes, said NS Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Wick Moorman in a press release.
"Looking ahead, while the market uncertainties remain, the resources that we are deploying are driving improved network performance, and we expect our service levels will be significantly higher in the second half," he said.
Income from railway operations declined 9 percent to $606 million compared with the same period a year ago. Lower fuel costs helped drive down operating expenses by 3 percent to $2 billion.
Operating revenue fell 5 percent to $2.6 billion in the quarter compared with the year-ago period as a result of lower fuel surcharge revenue in each of the three commodity groups, lower coal volumes and lower average revenue per unit related to the mix of business, NS officials said.
Total volume increased 2 percent, or 40,000 units, reflecting gains in intermodal and merchandise traffic.
General merchandise revenue was $1.5 billion, down 2 percent compared with first-quarter 2014. Volume grew 3 percent, led by increases in chemicals and automotive shipments.
While intermodal revenue slipped 1 percent to $592 million compared with first-quarter 2014, growth in international and domestic business pushed traffic volume up 5 percent.
Company officials attributed the 16 percent decrease in coal revenue — which totaled $455 million for the quarter — to a weak global export market and fewer coal shipments to utilities. Coal volumes were down by 7 percent for the quarter.
NS' operating ratio rose to 76.4 for the quarter compared with 75.2 in first-quarter 2014.

South Korea to Ramp Up Boosters After COVID Spike
Officials in South Korea Wednesday reported 3,187 new COVID-19 cases, only the second time the daily rate has topped 3,000, less than three weeks after easing social distancing measures nationwide.
The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency also reported a record 522 people hospitalized with moderate to severe cases, breaking the record set just one day before.
The country's death toll is now 3,158, after 21 deaths were reported on Wednesday, the 16th consecutive day of double-digit fatalities, including a record 32 on Saturday.
The latest surge comes just 17 days after the government began rolling back restrictions, allowing larger social gatherings and expanding indoor dining. The nation has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world, with just under 80% of the population fully vaccinated…

I had sold a company that I had acquired to a NASDAQ-listed, publicly held company, so I had a chance to change my career. I went home and told my wife, "Guess what my new job is going to be? Angel investor, full-time." I teamed up with Ben Rosen. He lives in New York, but we made most of our investments out here in Silicon Valley. In 1994, Ben and I decided we would only invest in this thing called the Internet. In 1994, Netscape had not even been founded yet. The Internet has now become a massive, huge sector. But I absolutely love doing it.
Why do I angel invest? After the Google IPO, frankly, I could have stopped investing. But you know, it's not about the money. For me, it's one simple word: Because it's interesting. Angel investing is the most interesting thing you will ever do. If I could, I would convince you in seven minutes to take the leap and start angel investing. Because if you talk to an entrepreneur, and they are starting a company—usually, there are about four cofounders in each new company—you get to listen to those entrepreneurs tell you what is going to happen in the future. Entrepreneurs are a crystal ball telling the technology industry where it's going to be in four to five years. There cannot be anything more exciting and interesting than being part of that. I'm just completely addicted to it. There is no way I'm going to stop.
Six years ago, Mark Zuckerberg sat down at the University Cafe and told me that "I will have 300 million users" and had complete conviction about that. And he was "wrong"—Facebook has 500 million users, going to a billion. Just having that conversation is very exciting—experiencing his passion and conviction.
Some of these companies go out of business, but if you take a portfolio approach the way I do, which is fairly aggressive because I make a lot of investments, in that portfolio you will usually, over the course of a couple of years, have a hit that will pay for all the future angel investments that you make. So you won't have to be nervous about "Am I overinvesting?" If you hang in there, usually angel investing will self-fund for you.
Thanks for sharing this edited transcript. I particularly appreciated the Facebook story, the bit about winding companies down, and the list of characteristics Ron looks for.
I also liked the part about not sweating the terms too much…I had one inexperienced angel investor about drive me nuts over that. I decided to never work with first time investors again. This person just did not understand that every minute of time she took was coming straight out of the business….it really does not make sense to reduce the value your of your own investment in the process of investing!
Ron says "Go find an entrepreneur you think is a great team-builder. We invest in the entrepreneur first, not the idea. The idea morphs too much. We invest in people we like. Write a check and get going.".
Writing the check part may be an easy part. Then 'get going' is where it differentiates good & bad among investors & entrepreneurs.
500 companies in 12 years is over 40 companies per year.
From a angel investing perspective, isn't this the definition of "spray and pray"?
That awkward moment when you die of a heart attack.


Professional CPR training at your convenience.
Shoveling in a winter wonderland….
Snow is on the way – we may not get as much as originally predicted, but what we will get is going to be wet and heavy. Snow shoveling can be more strenuous than exercising full throttle on a treadmill. While this may not be a problem if an individual is healthy and fit, it can be dangerous if not.
Shoveling, even pushing a heavy snow blower, can cause sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate, and the cold air can cause blood vessels to constrict, decreasing oxygen to the heart. This increases the amount of work done by the heart, and can possibly trigger a potentially fatal heart attack.
Avoid shoveling when you first wake up, as most heart attacks occur early in the morning when blood is more prone to clotting. Wait for at least 30 minutes and warm up.
Do not eat a heavy meal before shoveling as this causes blood to get diverted from the heart to the stomach.
Warm up your muscles before starting by walking and stretching for a few minutes or marching in place.
Do not drink coffee or smoke for at least one hour before or one hour after shoveling or during breaks. These are stimulants. They elevate your blood pressure and heart rate.
If you have questions about if your heart is healthy enough to shovel, ask your doctor first – or better yet, support the local economy and pay a neighbor's kid to do it.
Use a small shovel: shovel many small loads instead of fewer heavy ones to put less strain on your heart.
Begin slowly and take frequent, 15-minute breaks.
Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration. Avoid caffeinated drinks like coffee or soda.
Dress in layers, to avoid hypothermia (low body temperature) or overheating.
Cover your head and neck (50% body heat lost thru head and neck).
Cover your mouth (breathing cold air can cause angina or trigger breathing problems).
Watch for warning signs of a heart attack such as lightheadedness, dizziness, shortness of breath, or tightness or burning in chest, neck, arms or back. If you think you are having a heart attack, STOP shoveling and call 911.

New Olmsted County Board Chair reflects on 2020 and shares insights on 2021
Commissioner Stephanie Podulke shared the following comments during the January 5, 2021 meeting of the Olmsted County Board of Commissioners.
Last January, there we were, sailing along, all of us – dealing personally with customary daily joys and challenges while maintaining and improving Olmsted County: protecting vulnerable children and adults, caring for roads and bridges, expanding housing programs, planning for a new regional crisis center, issuing licenses, filing for passports, and making plans for improving Graham Park, a nature center at Oxbow Park, and more.
Then we ran smack into a perfect storm; a worldwide pandemic, an economic crisis, and community recognition of widespread systemic racism. A trifecta of extremely challenging problems. Luckily, at Olmsted County, our team has years of experience considering options and possibilities, navigating difficulties, adapting to change, and managing emergencies. As Dwight D. Eisenhower said, "The plan is nothing; the planning is everything."
Olmsted County was ready. With the storm raging, we all pulled on the oars to navigate towards safety. Some of the county's notable pandemic responses:
We managed the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) for more than 100 days and sustained our public health response for months, leading the local efforts in contact tracing and now preparing for vaccine distribution. (We worked with many partners to achieve this such as Mayo Clinic, Olmsted Medical Center, City of Rochester, schools, and many others.)
Retrofitted and staffed Graham Park as a COVID-19 testing site and now as a community food distribution hub.
Established remote work protocols, so many of our staff could safely work at home while maintaining the essential services the county provides to our communities.
Procured necessary safe temporary housing to shelter the homeless and worked with partners to quarantine and isolate vulnerable members of our community as needed.
Delivered essential food supplies and provided transportation support to the most vulnerable and continued to provide public safety and other essential services throughout the pandemic.
Provided timely and accurate information to the whole community as well as outreach and education to those most at risk.
Approved a 0% property tax increase for 2021, allowed late property tax payments without penalties and interest, and managed more than $19 million in COVID-19 relief funds including distribution into the business and nonprofit communities.
Our county employees have worked tirelessly and continue pulling on the oars as hard as they can. We have learned much these past several months. I'd like to share with you just a few examples.
Certainly, we have learned that public health connects to so many other important issues of well-being, such as housing security. For some who have lost income, rent and basic needs have become urgent. Our Housing team found ways to ensure payments to avoid evictions and prevent homelessness.
We also saw the raw exposure of racial disparity in our communities: sadness, rage, outrage, and despair. We now understand providing equality does not resolve disparity. Equality is treating people the same. Equity is providing people with the tools they need to thrive. We cannot achieve fair results through equality without first achieving equity. There is much work to be done to guarantee that all county residents can prosper. Olmsted County is preparing recommendations to address racism as a public health issue, implementing a community outreach team that will partner with law enforcement, and implementing One Olmsted to further our diversity, equity, and inclusion mission and goals.
We know we can operate effectively and even improve some services by offering them remotely. We also know that if some of our employees continue to work remotely, we can save valuable office space. In the long run, this may reduce new construction.
As we begin 2021, the storm still rages. We must put our attention and efforts toward these issues in the coming year. There is no question that our pandemic response will continue to be a priority for months to come. We do see an end to the pandemic as people get vaccinated. Then, we start on our road to economic recovery: people will get back to work, children will get back to in-person school, restaurants and venues will open, renters and landlords will be made as whole as possible, our courts will be open, families and friends will gather, eventually without masks.
Olmsted County will continue providing services throughout all of it. I want to reassure the public that Olmsted County is fiscally prudent and well-managed.
And, we have much to look forward to this year. We will open the much-needed Southeast Regional Crisis Center, continue preparing a new nature center at Oxbow Park, continue planning and securing funds to upgrade the intersection of County Road 104 and Trunk Highway 14, and continue to plan for a materials recovery facility at the Olmsted County Waste-to-Energy plant. We will fairly distribute recovery funds as they become available, begin our redistricting based on the 2020 census, develop an open space plan for the county and embrace technology that reduces staff and equipment costs. We will continue our work on One Olmsted to address equity and racial disparities. We will keep pulling on the oars together.
And, we must also continue to take care of ourselves and each other during this time of anxiety and isolation. Many of us across the county have lost loved ones and we cannot grieve with our usual funeral rituals and goodbyes. We also need to grieve over the myriad "normal" routines now changed forever. We will still live with great uncertainty for some time.
To help us, I would like to end my "state of the county" with recommendations from "The Book of Joy" by the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu which lists three factors with great influence on increasing happiness:
Our ability to reframe situations more positively.
Our ability to experience gratitude.
Our choice to be kind and generous.
Let us choose to be survivors, not victims. Let us continue to reach out to those whose lives have been shattered and help them heal and rebuild. Let us be gentle with ourselves and others. Let us give ourselves and others the space and time they need. Let us all stay safe and healthy.
We have a lot of hard work to do. Fortunately, we also have highly talented, creative, and dedicated board members, employees, and partners.

Join Independent Brewing Co. and Pairings Bistro for a Farm to Table dinner gala to benefit the Harford County Farm Fair. This country casual event takes place in the picturesque Deer Creek Valley- all of the food will be local products from Harford County farms. Featuring beef raised by the 4H youth which was purchased at the Farm Fair Auction. This event will include multiple stations sponsored by the local farms showcasing paired combinations of meats, vegetables, and craft beverages, all to a backdrop of Bluegrass music.


A short (500m or so) concrete culvert that carries a brook beneath roads and houses in Exeter. I do apologise for my photographs being turds of the unpolishable variety, but I've yet to venture much further than the point-and-shoot world of photon00bishness. Not too hot on features, but it's a great place to start out with draining as it is easy to access, has fresh air and clean water.
A short sidepipe leads to a small CSO chamber.
A drain slug. The water from this pipe started to flow as I took this shot. I thought "Crap it's raining! GET OUT." Luckily it was a false alarm and I returned later that day after checking the local forecast.
The tunnel splits into two parallel rectangular concrete passages about two thirds of the way down.
A relatively large sidepipe joins at the split point, though grip gloves and a skateboard are in order to navigate this one without crawling. Daylight is visible from the two small openings above the pipe.
Further down another sidepipe leads to (guessing by the smell) another CSO. You can just about see the pipe split into two smaller ones in this shot.
The two rectangular tunnels are connected by these openings at regular intervals.
Many small sidepipes join the culvert toward the downstream end.
Cobwebs and mineral straws. I'm guessing the minerals are leaching from the concrete as there's barely half a foot of soil above it.
The height of the tunnels is reduced a short distance from the outfall and I had to stoop a little here.
Looking back upstream from a bridge a short distance down from the outfall.
Looking downstream from the same position. Climb the wall to get out.
Finally, further upstream on the same brook is a much older brick culvert that carries the brook beneath a small railway station and beyond. It is shorter than the downstream culvert, but I'll save this for another day.
Heh, bunking off to do UE - hand in a load of urbex pics for your geography project :lol: I used to go and hide in the derelict buildings around the Marsh Barton estate when I did that.
Nice work mate and a cracking first report. I like lots.
looking forward to your further investigation reports!!!
Update - Had a peek at the upstream tunnel today, need to get back to get better pictures and see the infall. Anyhow, the first section carries the brook beneath Polsloe Road Station and appears to have been built at the same time as the railway (Exmouth line). After this comes modern concrete box-section then what appears to be a lost stone/brick arch bridge which I assume carries Polsloe Road. After this a sloping floor reduces the standing-height tunnel to a five foot RCP which continues beneath the houses along Beacon Lane. There should be at least one older brick section beneath another railway that crosses the brook just after the infall.
The lost bridge and slope - the RCP is just visible here. Part of the floor has been washed out and the sound of the water cascading over it tells you a thing or two about tunnel acoustics - sounded like a waterfall!
Looking back from the same position, the concrete section begins.
View from the outfall, complete with obligatory shopping trolley ;) The water beyond the concrete ledge is knee-deep and loaded with tripalicious debris.
Overall an interesting revisit, but still needs one last trip to complete the explore to the infall. This tunnel was a tad more whiffy than the downstream section but this was largely due to CSO spew from recent rainfall. Oxygen levels remained at 20.9% throughout.


is on his way back from the mall! I'm thinking, "who's Bruthacode?
then him swaying back and forth, and then….
who lit up the joint.
really look? Yet another person I didn't get to see.
Sugar?), some lady comes up and says "gimme my CD!"

and I are starving, we jump in the car and run up to Checquers.
I've done it again. First Karsh, now Grayse.
more pictures, hung out in the not-so-warm spring air, talked some more.
12. The outcome of the weekend?
me when they see me, right? Right.
and I know this can be done again.
Oh you know I'm down! Uh…ya'll gone leave Brown Sugar and her floppy disk digital camera alone! LMAO!

Ticats-Stamps Gameday
HAMILTON TIGER-CATS 5-10 AT CALGARY STAMPEDERS 9-6
7 p.m., McMahon Stadium, TSN, CHML 900AM, CHML Radio 1050 AM
Luca Congi HAM placekicker
Rene Paaredes CAL palcekicker
If the game is close and comes down to a field goal in the final minute or closing seconds to win it, expect that it's nailed, whether it is Congi or Paredes making the attempt. Both have missed just three field goals in 2012 — Paredes has hit 33 of 36 for a 91.7% success rate and Congi has been good on 32 of 35 for a 91.4% clip. Each has a legitimate shot at finishing the season over 90%, something that has been done just three times in CFL history.
FIVE THINGS TO WATCH
A big night for Burris
Smilin' Hank makes his first return to McMahon Stadium since he and Kevin Glenn were traded for each other in January. Given that he managed to secure 30 tickets for family and friends, and given the precarious nature of the Ticats' spot in the standings, expect Burris to do everything in his power to do something special. "When the chips are stacked against you," Burris said, "that is pretty much when the real men rise up." An offensive line hampered by injuries could hinder Burris.
A difficult night for Glenn
Stamps QB Kevin Glenn doesn't like to get flushed out of the pocket, so the Ticats defence will concentrate on getting the 33-year-old to move around as much as possible. "We know he does not like to get hit," Hamilton linebacker Renauld Williams said. "He is not a runner. If we get some pressure, he will make some bad decisions."
Cornish creeping closer
Jon Cornish, with three games remaining, is trying to become the most prolific rushing Canadian in one CFL season. Cornish is 162 yards behind former Eskies great Normie Kwong's record of 1,437, set in 1956. It's worth noting that on Aug. 9, in the only other meeting between the Stamps and Ticats this season, Cornish rumbled for 170 yards, one of four times he has toppled 100 yards in a game in 2012.
Staying on the field
The Ticats have one of the worst defences in the league, allowing a league-high 481 points. As a result, Burris and the offence has started behind the eight-ball more often than not, and is last in the league in time of possession, averaging just 27 minutes 24 seconds a game.
Keying on Nik Lewis
Hamilton defenders will have to keep an eye on WR Nik Lewis, who has 1,095 yards receiving. "They have a go-to guy on second down, in a pinch they are going to Nik Lewis, and you have to understand that and try to keep him out of the game," Hamilton head coach George Cortez said. "It's easier said than done." Lewis leads the CFL with 499 yards after the catch.
TURF BITS
-- Andy Fantuz has 15 receptions in the past three games for 216 yards and three touchdowns. Of those 15 catches, nine have been on second down to create first downs or scores. Fantuz is 204 yards shy of 1,000.
-- The Ticats have averaged 14.9 yards on punt returns. The CFL record is 15.2, accomplished by Montreal in 1975.
-- The Stampeders are 6-2 in their past eight games and have held the opposition to under 20 points in four of them.
-- Hamilton, despite being 5-10, has led by at least a touchdown in nine games. The Ticats have led going into the fourth quarter eight times, but the final 15 minutes is when they have let themselves down, as they have just a 4-4 record in those games. In 2011, they were 8-2 when leading after three quarters.
-- The Ticats need to score to win. In the past seven seasons, they are 1-44 when they have recorded less than 20 points.
-- The Stamps are 11-4 versus the Ticats since 2004, with the Ticats 0-7 in their past seven trips to McMahon Stadium.
-- He spent the previous three seasons with Hamilton, but overall, Kevin Glenn has won eight of his past nine starts against the Ticats.
-- Leading Hamilton receiver Chris Williams has posted 100 yards just once in the past eight games.


When you install Firefox on windows, by default it does not install the DOM Inspector.
To make sure it installs it, select Custom Install then select Web Developer Tools.
Run the FF installer - just so it unpacks the install without installing anything.
Use file explorer to locate the C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp dir. FF will have created a temp directory to unpacked the install components into (in my case "7zS17.tmp").
Drag adt.xpi onto the FF window. This installs the dom inspector.
Thanks very much to clagnut for his informative post on this - and to Thierry B for his additional help on this.
Same problem exists - whereby it did not install the DOM Inspector by default. However the solution mentioned above does not appear to work (as I couldn't find the adt.xpi file) - so there is another work around - for which I've created another post (for feed subscribers).
I read mostly all the posts of your blog. The posts were really interesting and I came to know about lot of things.


Peppers grow in a large range of varieties, from small or big, spicy hot or sweet, white to red to green. It is important to understand how to identify pepper plants, especially if you intend on consuming them. The hotness of different peppers is measured on a Scoville Heat index. Some of the most mild peppers are sweet bell and cherry peppers; pepper with medium heat are cayenne and Serrano; and very hot peppers are habanero and scotch bonnet. Peppers are popular ingredients for cooking and medicine, and can be grown in almost any condition. Identifying them involves understanding the types of seeds, petals, flowers, calyx and pedicels of the plant.
Wear gloves when handling extremely hot varieties. Use soap and water to wash your hands before touching any part of your face.
Examine the seeds on the plant. Dark seeds indicate the C pubescens species, which would mean the petals will be purple. Tan or yellow-colored seeds mean that the pepper species is mild.
Identify the petals of the plant, also called the corolla. Light-colored spots on the petals indicate it is the C baccatum species.
Identify the flowers of the chile pepper plant. Flowers that are singular and solitary mean the variety is a C annuum. For two or more blossoms at the nodes, it means the variety is C Chinense.
Identify the calyx of a mature fruit from the pepper plant. If there is a ring-like growth at the top of the pepper connecting to the stem, the variety is C Chinense.
Examine the blooms. A pepper that exhibit flowers blooming in groups of two or more is C frutescens.


The basil oil smells like the freshest basil. Great in Asian cooking (stirfries).
Use the oil as part of a salad dressing or as part of an olive oil based pasta dish with some speck, red onion, garlic, a hint of chilli, fresh tomato & basil. Then finished with some fresh grated parmesan & a few drops of lemon juice.


As YouTube becomes more business and brand driven, more and more creators are turning to merchandise and products to make money. However, some YouTubers' merch has fallen under heavy criticism for poor design, lacking quality, and 'extortionate' prices. What should viewers expect from content creators and their products? And when does merchandise become exploitative? We talk to Lex Croucher, Becky James, and Luke Cutforth to find out more.
The idea of YouTube being an 'easy job', with creators making large sums of money off the back of their videos alone couldn't be further from the truth. In order to maintain a living wage many creators need to diversify their income streams; brand deals and sponsorships is one stream, patronage through crowdfunding platforms another, and merchandise and products can be one too.
This diversification has become even more important in the last year, following changes to the YouTube algorithm which has impacted the amount of revenue creators can generate from their videos. For content creators who use YouTube as their primary source of income, ensuring that they can make a livelihood off their job is understandably important.
"A lot of people make a good chunk of their income [from merchandise], along with sponsorships," says Lex Croucher, who along with friend Jonny Eveson design and make pins for their etsy shop LexAndJonnyPins.
Luke Cutforth, who previously ran Fireflight Merch for various creators and has his own range of merchandise, agrees. "Having merchandise reduces your reliance on ad revenue to stay alive, allowing you to focus on creativity and fostering a great relationship with your audience," he says.
Merch does and can therefore have a massive positive impact on creator, viewer, and occasionally the surrounding community. However, this is not always the case. It's important to remember that, in most cases, the creator is going to make a profit off the products they are selling. And while there is nothing wrong with this, there is also a power dynamic at play.
YouTube is an inherently emotion based business. It isn't the same as a customer picking up a shirt they like in a shop and purchasing it, but more to do with how invested a viewer is in a creator. YouTubers seem like 'friends' who often reiterate how much they 'love their viewers', understandably making people more emotionally invested and want to watch more.
So when a YouTuber starts to promote products for viewers to buy, there is already an emotional investment. This is the shirt their 'friend', someone they admire, has made. This dynamic can be exploited, particularly if viewers are much younger, and some critics claim this has been the case with certain YouTubers who have released poorly designed, low quality, and overpriced products.
Upon releasing his new 'What is up?' clothing in March 2018, Oli White was criticised for just this. Most notably, Jack Dean responded on Twitter comically critiquing the merch's quality and price.
Just checked my last 50 videos and I say the word "and" at some point in every single one. Does this justify me being able to slap it on a t-shirt with a RRP of £25? It's essentially a catch phrase now? Right? It's always been a dream of mine to sell "and" merchandise.
Caspar Lee came to the defense of Oli White, using the merch of several other YouTubers as an example of popular merch with similarly more simplistic designs.
Is it reasonable to expect the same standard from YouTuber clothing as we do from professional retailers? While being a YouTuber requires several skills – being a filmmaker, writer, editor, business manager, and online personality all at once – for most product and clothing design is not their main creative venture. This lack of experience in that field can contribute to a product which some may deem lesser.
The physical quality of the product is another consideration, especially since this is something that creators may potentially have less control over.
Lex describes how she has control over the design of her pins, but not as much the production. She does "outsource the actual creation of badges," but this is for practical reasons. "We don't have liquid enamel and stamping facilities, but we chose our supplier carefully and work with them closely to make sure the design and colours are right," she says.
Products cost money to produce as well, so this needs to be considered, especially if the creator is actively trying to keep the price low for their potential buyers. This can be a difficult balance to strike, particular for creators without much experience in this field.
The final price of a product is, ultimately, the main sticking point that has led to creators being called out for exploitation. If a YouTuber's audience is predominantly low income under-17s, they may be more susceptible and not understand the true value of the money they plan to spend. After all, £30 for a tshirt or £50 for a hoodie is a lot of money for most teenagers.
This seems to be the case with Zoe Sugg's 2017 Christmas advent calendar released by Boots, which featured smaller products such as candles, a cookie cutter and a pencil case behind each door, and was priced at £50. It was heavily criticised online for poor quality; Yasmine Summan even went as far as to research the cost of each item included, adding the cost up and comping it to the selling price.
JaackMaate's video inspired me to see how much Zoella's £50 Christmas Advent calendar was worth.
However, when the branding of that product is attached to a creator's name, if anything goes wrong, it's hard to undo the impact it can have on people's perception of the YouTuber.
For Lex, she recommends etsy artists such as Frannerd and Maddy Vian. "Basically anything that talented people really put their hearts and souls into," she says.
While Becky is a fan of Nathan Zed's 'Good Enough' line, with its "amazing quality [and] amazing message." She also likes the merch of Byron Denton and the tours of dodie, Miranda Sings, and Dan and Phil, saying she was "completely blown away" by the latter.
The amount of control a YouTuber has over their merchandise varies from creator to creator. Therefore, how accountable a creator is has to be taken on a case by case basis. Nonetheless, the majority of creator merchandise is not considered exploitative. So what should creators always keep in mind when producing their own products?
As long as creators strive to make the best product they can, and don't jack up the prices for the sake of raking it in, then their merchandise will likely be successful. "Fans should expect to be treated like a fellow human being, rather than a number or a dollar sign. It's really as simple as that," says Luke.

Nella metrica classica, e in particolare della metrica eolica greca e latina, per strofa saffica si intende una strofa composta da tre endecasillabi saffici e da un adonio.

È attribuita alla celebre poetessa di Lesbo, Saffo. Secondo la tradizione, il primo dei nove libri composti da Saffo e custoditi nella biblioteca di Alessandria era interamente scritto in strofe saffiche per un totale di 1320 versi. La "saffica" fu ampiamente ripresa anche nel mondo latino, in particolare da Catullo.

La strofe saffica è anche uno dei metri classici più ripresi nell'Ottocento italiano dalla Metrica barbara, in particolare da Giosuè Carducci
e Giovanni Pascoli.

Formazione

La Saffica minore classica

Nella metrica classica, e in particolare della metrica eolica greca e latina, per strofa saffica si intende una strofa composta da tre endecasillabi saffici e da un verso adonio (vedi oltre).

È attribuita alla celebre poetessa di Lesbo, Saffo. Secondo la tradizione, il primo dei nove libri composti da Saffo e custoditi nella biblioteca di Alessandria era interamente scritto in strofe saffiche per un totale di 1320 versi. La "saffica" fu ampiamente ripresa anche nel mondo latino, in particolare da Catullo.

Schema:

— ∪ — X | — ∪ ∪ — | ∪ — X

L'endecasillabo saffico di ampio impiego nella lirica tanto greca che latina, è una formazione analoga all'endecasillabo falecio. Esso è composto da un dimetro coriambico II, le cui sillabe libere assumono di norma la forma del ditrocheo, e da un monometro giambico catalettico. Il ditrocheo ammette la lunga irrazionale al secondo piede, come di norma per le sizigie trocaiche; altre combinazioni delle sillabe libere iniziali si incontrano sporadicamente nella poesia drammatica, in cui anche l'endecasillabo saffico si incontra sporadicamente.

Nella poesia latina, Orazio regolarizza ulteriormente l'endecasillabo, rendendo obbligatoria la forma epitritica per il ditrocheo (— ∪ — —) e fissando la cesura del verso dopo la prima lunga del coriambo. Ad esempio:

Quem virum aut heroa lyra vel acritibia sumis celebrare, Clio? (Orazio, Odi I 12 v. 1-2)

Sempre ad Orazio si deve la prima forma nota, forse da lui stesso inventata, del saffico maggiore, che sta al saffico come l'asclepiadeo maggiore sta all'asclepiadeo minore, da cui deriva tramite l'inserzione di un coriambo. Lo schema è

— ∪ — X | — || ∪ ∪ — || — ∪ ∪ — |∪ — X

Es. Saepe trans finem iaculo nobilis expedito (Orazio, Odi I, 8, v. 12)

La tipica strofe saffica si compone di una strofe, con endecasillabo saffico ripetuto tre volte + adonio finale.

Adonio

L'adonio è un verso composto di un dattilo e di uno trocheo: schema - U U - X. Secondo un'altra definizione è una dipodia dattilica catalettica in disyllabam in quanto la sillaba finale è anceps e l'ultimo piede può esse inteso come un dattilo catalettico. Era una cadenza veloce composta da solo cinque sillabe. Secondo la tradizione era usato come sorta di ritornello con l'invocazione ad Adone in alcuni componimenti dal ritmo vivace. Molto usato nella strofa saffica in cui costituiva il quinario di chiusura dopo tre endecasillabi saffici minori.

La Saffica maggiore
La saffica maggiore è una strofe particolare, riscontrabile sia in Saffo che nei poeti latini Orazio, Catullo, Stazio nelle Sylvae. Si tratta di un verso di 11 sillabe:

Schema: - U - U - U - U U - U - X

che probabilmente deriverebbe dall'associazione di un ditrocheo (Doppio trocheo - U) e un "aristofanio". La saffica maggiore è spesso usata nei Carmina di Orazio, ma anche nelle Odi - Epodi, con l'aumento di un coriambo — ∪ ∪ —, poco differente dal classico adonio per la saffica minore, che viene inserito dopo il ditrocheo.

Schema: - U - U - U U - -  U U - U - X

Dunque, per realizzare la saffica maggiore, si usa nella strofe la ripetizione per 3 volte del ditrocheo + aristofanio, e infine il coriambo.

Aristofanio: deve il nome all'uso frequente che ne fece il commediografo Aristofane, costituito dal coriambo + baccheo ( - U U - U - X), in termini metrici si può chiamare anche un dimetro coriambico anaclastico catalettico; anclastico per lo scambio di posto tra una quantità lunga con una breve nella sillaba, che avviene nella finale del dimetro con l'inizio del coriambo, e catalettico perché manca un'unità ritmica nella parte finale.

Sulfoxaflor
Sulfoxaflor is a pesticide that kills insects by attacking their central nervous system. It is a member of the sulfoximine family of insecticides. In 2013, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved this Dow AgroSciences product for use in the United States. It is also registered in some Central American and east Asian countries.
The EPA registered sulfoxaflor despite its potential toxicity to honeybees. It recommended that the insecticide not be used when flowering crops are attracting bees.
A consortium of beekeeping trade groups sued the EPA shortly after registration, believing that sulfoxaflor would exacerbate the declining bee population. In September 2015, a federal appeals court overturned the registration by ruling that the supporting studies were insufficient to demonstrate that sulfoxaflor does not cause environmental harm. Dow says it will perform additional studies and may appeal the court's decision.
MOTW update: July 22, 2019
Sulfoxaflor is a central nervous system insecticide that is toxic to honeybees. In 2015, a federal appeals court overturned its US Environmental Protection Agency registration. But earlier this month, in a controversial move, EPA reauthorized its use on several crops. Will more legal action follow?
MOTW update: January 16, 2023
Sulfoxaflor1 is an insecticide that the US Environmental Protection Agency approved for use in 2013. In 2015, EPA banned its use because of its toxicity to honeybees; but, controversially, in 2019, under the Trump administration, the agency reauthorized its use on several crops. This past December, the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled that the EPA broke the law by reauthorizing sulfoxaflor because it failed to assess endangered species risks and did not give the public a chance to comment on its decision.
1. CAS Reg. No. 946578-00-3.
MOTW update: November 12, 2015
The October 5, 2015, MOTW noted that a federal appeals court had overturned the registration of the insecticide sulfoxaflor because of its toxicity to honeybees. As a result of this court order, on November 12, 2015, the US Environmental Protection Agency stopped the sale of this chemical in the United States. The manufacturer, Dow AgroSciences, intends to work with EPA to return sulfoxaflor to the market.

JOHN ROGERS, SON OF TONY, CHAUFFEUR AND TRANSPORT MANAGER FOR MANY YEARS IN BERKELEY SQUARE AND NORTHAMPTON, HAS COME UP WITH MORE IMAGES FROM HIS DAD`S COLLECTION, AND SOME ARE HERE BELOW.
Firstly we have Tony driving in Northampton Depot in what looks like a new BH Bedford parts delivery truck, moving between the Stores and the Probe Lab/Service Dept block, and standing on the loading dock is none other than Tom Muddimans, a great old B.H. stalwart from the era of Eric Coulton and Ron Foster in that department.
This is around 1976 we reckon, according to the P registration of the Bedford.
Then there is a shot in the middle of the Yard, outside the main shops, with some built-up wheels being loaded by we think, wee Hamish Foley, and is that Mark Underwood on the truck bed ??
Lastly posing with the truck "Down The Line", we have 2 unidentified Hodgites, and we will be very happy to be advised of their names if anybody can help.
They are of course chewing the fat very near to either a brand new, or rebuilt 72-81 loading shovel.....one more time, why didn`t Terex fit a natural 16V Jimmy in that animal !!
Thats all of John`s images "In the Yard", so switch to section Oddballs for a few more.
...if you cant read it....CEGB Little Barford, o/h 1979, built initially 1959.
....and the outside of that iconic trailer, parked in front of the Stores.
We come to the last few images in this section now.....a subject not very often recorded, but luckily, on two occasions, Transport Manager Tony Rogers obviously thought it proper to do so........service vans !!
...and finally Tony accepting the vehicle documents, or maybe even the invoice, we guess from the supplier, sometime in 1975.
....the Opel Record 2.0 Diesel, 1978....positive luxury after the Marina .....do any of you service engineers remember if this was yours ??
Thats all for this section, back soon with the last part of KM`s collection.
WE MOSTLY GET HODGITES REMINISCENCES IN WORD FORM, WITH A FEW IMAGES.
THIS CONTRIBUTION IS AN EXCEPTION, AS AT THE TIME OF PUBLISHING, WE ONLY HAVE A LARGE COLLECTION OF KEITH MATTHEWS` FOTOS WITHOUT ANY WRITTEN MATERIAL, WHICH WE HOPE KEITH WILL PUT RIGHT EVENTUALLY.
THIS CONTRIBUTION IS LODGED IN THE NORTHAMPTON SECTION, BECAUSE ALTHOUGH IT DOES HAVE FORAYS INTO OTHER AREAS, IT IS MOSTLY A PHOTOGHRAPHIC RECORD IN THE MAIN DEPOT.
We are starting with the b&w images, some very old, some not so old, spiced with a little commentry, and we shall probably have to do this article in 3 or 4 episodes, as there are over 90 fotos to add, and we do get so easily tired at our age !!
......and last for now Transmission Bay, with Ken George and ???
That`s all for now...be back soon.
WHAT WENT BEFORE !! AROUND B.H. NORTHAMPTON BEFORE BERNARD SUNLEY.
RECENTLY A MR J.T.JENNINGS OF DUSTON SENT US A COPY OF AN ARTICLE FOCUSING ON THE IRONSTONE WORKINGS ON HUNSBURY HILL.
HE DIDNT SAY FROM WHERE HE OBTAINED THIS ARTICLE, SO WE HAVE NO IDEA IF ANY COPYRIGHT, IF ANY, EXISTS, SO APOLOGIES TO WHOEVER WROTE IT.
THE STORY IS ALL IN THE TEXT, AND THERE ARE SOME RELEVANT B.H. FOTOS ALSO INCLUDED, SO IT IS OF INTEREST TO ALL FROM NORTHAMPTON AT LEAST.
THIS SHOT IS THE MOST RELEVANT FOR HODGITES, THE WEST END OF THE YARD IN 1963. SEE BLOWN UP IMAGE AFTER THIS PAGE.
IT IS ALMOST 4 YEARS AGO THAT EDDIE HOPES GAVE US HIS NOT INCONSIDERABLE COLLECTION OF B.H. MEMORABILIA, AND ALTHOUGH IT WASNT ALL GOING TO GET PUBLISHED VERY QUICKLY, WE MUST ADMIT THAT WE DIDNT EXPECT TO BE ONLY HALFWAY THROUGH IT 4 YEARS LATER !!

A RECENT CONTACT CAME FROM JOHN SMITH (1969-1978), A NEW FACE WHO WILL BE JOINING US ON JUNE 11TH, AND WHO WAS OUT OF HIS APPRENTICESHIP AT THE TIME OF THE IMAGE THAT HE HAS SENT TO US.
John reckons the photo is around 1976, and with no-one else recognisable in the shot to confirm or not, and considering John`s coiffure at that moment, the time looks about right !!
Having looked closely again, its a bit of a longshot, but could that be Martyn Brawn in the far background over the top of John`s elbow ??
Perhaps Martyn could comment as to whether it is, and if so, if he agrees with the date, and we will also have to ask John if he remebers who took the photo.
STILL THE IMAGES OF BH`S JUBILEE IN 9178 COME OUT OF THE WOODWORK, THIS TIME FROM THE MAN THAT PHOTOGRAPHED MOST THINGS, KEN LANLSEY.
Several of the shots include Ken`s wife Betty, and we start with one of her and one Mr Keith Matthews, standing where so many people did that day, in front of the Minis in the R-65 bowl..
....and again on her own, in the bucket of the 72-71B loading shovel.

Kearns Mancini's design for the addition to Pleasant Public School in Thornhill, Ontario, was one which responded to the need of a single storey, one room addition that would accommodate a full day kindergarten expansion. The design sought to create a building that seamlessly integrates itself into the existing school in order to foster a strong communal relationship among all the students.
As part of the Ontario Ministry of Education's initiative, a full day Kindergarten program was implemented at Pleasant Public School in an effort to help working parents with the aids of increased child care and educational services. As a result, an expansive addition housing a full-day kindergarten space was needed and its integration into the exisitng fabric of the school was a significant goal of the project. Part of the design also involved the improvement of the existing adjacent kindergarten classrooms, washrooms and cubby areas, as they too are used within the full day kindergarten program.

The building addition was located adjacent to the existing kindergarten classrooms in order to maximize the connectivity of both kindergarten spaces. The group of classrooms form an enclave, each having its own interior and exterior entrances, as a means to improve accessibility to the space. The location of the addition was deliberately positioned outwards from the existing building footprint in order to create a courtyard that is framed by the addition and two existing sides of the building. The new courtyard is used as a dedicated playground for the children attending kindergarten.
As a method to respond sensitively to the existing building, the proportions of the new addition resonate with the design of the current school. The window sizes and overhangs of the new building mimic that of the existing facade in an effort to create a cohesive building appearance.
Moreover, the building addition was conceptualized as a project that would not only address the client's principle intent of adding classroom area, but also to contribute to the remainder of the school. The addition enhances the existing building entrance with an overhang to the east of the addition, providing a canopy which acts as a bus shelter for students waiting at the entrance.
This simple yet effective gesture provides visual hierarchy for the entrance to the school, and creates a beacon towards the street front.

The construction schedule was the most challenging facet of this project, as the building addition was required to be occupied for the upcoming school year. Kearns Mancini was readily available and promptly responsive to any and all construction issues and conflicts, avoiding delays in administration in order to better keep the contractor on schedule. Their management of other consultants and of the contractor was a significant factor in the successful outcome of the project.

This Sunday we consider the importance of community as we seek our spiritual path through our lives here in the Bay Area of the 21st century. Today's Gospel story tells how Zechariah and Elizabeth brought the infant John to the Temple to be circumcised. Their spiritual path was grounded in community, and they chose to mark momentous events – such as the birth of their son  with a ceremony held at the center of Jewish life: the Temple in Jerusalem. Living in community was central to their way of being Jewish.
But how about us: Episcopalians living on the rim of the Pacific Ocean in a time of trouble, turbulence and despair? For us, being Christian also centers on living in community. Unlike other spiritual paths, our form of Christianity is not a solitary way: we are not a people who choose to shut out the world around us in our effort to walk more closely with our God.
We – you and I  were baptized into a community of people who promised they would do everything they could to support us in our life in Christ. We are baptized into a community that promises to love and help us, and that is our context for living a Christian life in this time and in this place.
Will all of you here gathered uphold and honor this couple and respect the covenant they make?
And then the priest asks: "Will you pray for them in times of trouble and celebrate with them in times of joy?
In both baptism and marriage, the people assembled to form a community of faith who are called on to help and support those just baptized or married. This commitment to care for each other is part of what makes us who we are as Episcopalians.
We are not set on a solitary path but rather we have chosen to live in community. Just like Zechariah and Elizabeth.
Yet Zechariah and his community were surprised, as we heard in today's scripture, he was struck dumb by an angel. And the community was in for an even greater surprise when Zechariah was able to speak again.
Surely this story was repeated over and over again, as Luke tells us the community "pondered" what sort of person this John would become.
I wonder what are the stories this community tells about how God is working in their midst?
I wonder how these stories shape our understanding of this community?
Where have you heard God speaking in our church or ministry?
When have you felt yourself growing closer to God in this church community?
When have you experienced God's love for you here? When have you felt yourself loving God in the context of this community?
Which moment most resonates with your own experience?
What role is community playing in your life?
How are we, as a faith community, proclaiming the arrival of the Kingdom of God?
As each of us knows  and I feel more keenly today more than many  new phases of life often arise unexpectedly. I wonder how our community will choose to support those entering into a new phase of life, like parenthood, graduation, retirement, or a move to a new and far away city? These are some of the unexpected edges of our life that can either give us more traction like a speed skater or  if handled poorly  leave deep wounds.
As we continue our Advent walk, I invite you to see the Way of Love as a journey that includes the community. The witness of Zechariah and Elizabeth who bring infant John to the Temple to be circumcised reminds each of us of the importance of our faith community to sustaining the Way of Love.Just as the community did for John's family, our faith communities provide us with a safe place for discernment and growth. Sometimes they challenge us and other times they affirm us. Sometimes they bind up our broken hearts and sometimes we are the ones who help heal the hurts of others. Communities celebrate and mark important moments along the journey. That is what we do.This Advent, as a community, we are exploring something called a spiritual 'Rule of Life.' We each already have one – one we follow every day of our life: it is how we run our life; how we decide what is important and what we are going to do next.
Many of us have a 'Rule of Life' that just sort of grew without planning or thought – it just grew out of what we liked or wanted to do. Now, as a community, we're talking about being more mindful our life rules so our spiritual path takes us where we really want to go.
The good news is this doesn't mean you have to spend hours praying or fill your house with smoke from incense. We can start with something as simple as doing one spiritual thing a day – a pattern we are developing this advent when we take home and follow our weekly advent calendar. Here's one way we can do this:Sunday: WorshipGather in community weekly to thank, praise, and dwell with God. When we worship, we gather with others before God. We hear the Good News of Jesus Christ, give thanks, confess, and offer the brokenness of the world to God. As we break bread, our eyes are opened to the presence of Christ.By the power of the Holy Spirit, we are made one body, the body of Christ sent forth to live the Way of Love.
So this week, amidst preparations for Christmas and a new year, let us each commit to following the advent calendars we receive today and taking one spiritual step forward each day. This is one way we can prepare ourselves for the end of Advent and rebirth of Jesus in our hearts.
Let us pray. God of hope, you call us home from the exile of selfish oppression to the freedom of justice, the balm of healing, and the joy of sharing. Make us strong to join you in your holy work, as friends of strangers and victims, companions of those whom others shun, and as the happiness of those whose hearts are broken. We make our prayer through Jesus Christ our Lord. May the church say Amen!

Novak Djokovic beats Roberto Bautista Agut to reach Wimbledon final

Sports reporter focusing on tennis, Olympics
WIMBLEDON, England — With Wimbledon's dream semifinal between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal yet to be contested, defending champion Novak Djokovic did his part Friday to ensure Sunday's final will be a showdown between two of the world's top three players.
The top-ranked Djokovic was forced to produce his best tennis of the tournament to defeat Roberto Bautista Agut, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, who nearly proved a disrupter in his first Grand Slam semifinal before succumbing to Wimbledon's four-time and defending champion.
Djokovic's reward is the 25th Grand Slam final of his career and the chance to inch closer to the record 20 major titles held by Federer or the 18 held by Nadal. Djokovic has 15.
The Federer-Nadal semifinal was to follow shortly on Centre Court, and thousands of tennis fans jammed onto the large hill on the grounds of the All England Club to watch a reprise of the 2008 Wimbledon final on an oversize TV screen.
[Live updates from the Federer-Nadal semifinal]
In terms of anticipation, the Djokovic-Batista Agut semifinal felt like an undercard compared to the Federer-Nadal clash in store.
Djokovic, 32, had faced only one seeded player (David Goffin) in breezing to Wimbledon's final four after early-round upsets bounced four top-10 players from his half of the draw.
Bautista Agut, 31, was the final hurdle. By ranking (22nd), he should not have presented much of a threat to Djokovic, who had won three of the previous four Grand Slams.
Seeded 23rd, Bautista Agut was as surprised by his march to Wimbledon's semifinal as anyone, having scheduled his bachelor party in Ibiza for the tournament's final weekend. The party was postponed, and his buddies flew to England to join Bautista Agut's fiancee in cheering him on.
Djokovic claimed the opening set in just 36 minutes, looking virtually untouchable.
But with Djokovic's forehand and focus straying, Bautista Agut took the second set, 6-4, to level the match at one set each. With the Spaniard making it a match, Djokovic flapped his arms at the capacity crowd in an effort to coax a show of support.
He found his own motivation in the third set and rolled to the victory, clearing the stage for the 40th edition of Federer vs. Nadal and only their fourth meeting at Wimbledon.

This article provides information on problems booting IBM HS20 blade servers. If your blade server is all the sudden not detecting it's IDE drive, read below.
I've run into a strange problem using IBM HS20 blades. These blades do not support RAID configurations unless you double them up with the optional SCSI add-on. Doing so will occupy 2 blade slots. So, if you wanted to use RAID configurations on all blades you would only be able to use 7 blades in a full chassis.
If use the standard setup, you can deploy 14 blades in a full chassis. That being more attractive, each single blade is able to hold (2) 2.5" IDE drives. They cannot be used in a RAID configuration so use of a single 2.5" drive is common on the HS20 blade servers.
Last, if you still cannot get your blade to boot. Try switching the drive to a different blade. This has worked for me, but there is 1 very important thing to watch out for. The HS20 models (8678, 8832, 1883, 8843) can vary with the network chipsets they use. I swapped an IDE drive in a blade before realizing this and the new network drivers were installed once the server booted. The problem with this is, none of your IP information will be retained once this happens. You will have to re-enter that info on the new network cards. This can be a huge problem if you have a web server with multiple IPs assigned to certain sites. This happened to me when the blade I swapped had broadcom network cards instead of the intel-based chipset.

This Scrawny 16-Year-Old Just Climbed the Tallest Building in America
ByEileen Shim
Sneaking out of your house in the middle of the night is one thing — but climbing to the top of the tallest building in America is taking it up to a whole new level.
At 4 a.m. on Sunday, Justin Casquejo, a 16-year-old boy from Weehawken, N.J., managed to elude security and reach the top of 1 World Trade Center. He then reportedly hung out there for two hours to take pictures and only got caught on his way down.
"I walked around the construction site and figured out how to access the Freedom Tower rooftop. I found a way up through the scaffolding, climbed onto the 6th floor, and took the elevator up to the 88th floor. I then took the staircase up to 104th (floor). I went to the rooftop and climbed the ladder all the way to the antenna," he told the police.
And it's not the first time that the teen has been scaling building either:
Casquejo's story has since gone viral, following the recent trend of teens and young adults sneaking onto tall structures to take pictures. But while Casquejo's night-time adventure sounds like it's on Mission: Impossible-level of insanity, it actually has less to do with the teen's ingenuity and more to do with utter failure on the part of the building's security personnel. According to the New York Post, an elevator operator gave Casquejo a lift without checking for ID, and the guard on the 104th floor was sound asleep. The guard has since been fired, while the elevator operator has been reassigned.
Casquejo's stealth mission sounds like a harmless teenage stunt, but it's worrying when you consider the fact that 1 World Trade Center is a viable terror target. The developers of the skyscraper went to great lengths to terror-proof the facilities, but that's no use if a teenage intruder can go undetected for two hours.
The exterior of the building is guarded by the New York Police Department, the Port Authority Police Department and a private security company, while a second private company is in charge of protecting the interior. The tower will have a $40 million security system by the time it opens for tourists later this year.
Since his escapade, Casquejo has been charged with a misdemeanor and criminal trespassing and was released without bail on Monday. But if you were hoping to take a look at Casquejo's daredevil photos, you are out of luck: the police seized his camera and phone before he had a chance to post his pictures online. The teen summed up his experience with one word:
Hopefully, 1 World Trade Center's security personnel have also been inspired to be more careful in the future.
The Tyre Nichols footage will soon be everywhere. Here's how to mentally prepare.

Stories that Fuel Conversations


Corrections has always been conventionally known as an occupational discipline and not a profession. The organization of corrections has been spoken of as a penitentiary, bearing in mind that the models of the buildings were meant for punishment; with correctional officers recognized as guards. The role of the guards was that of the keeper of the keys and their duty was mainly custodial in nature. The occupation was mainly attractive to white males with a record of unemployment and not much education. The occupation was stable, and did not require for any extra skill. Certain researchers believe that the selection methods for prison warders were extremely relaxed with a small amount of empirical validity. There was also thinking that a correctional officer needed a 20/20 vision and an IQ of an imbecile. Conversely, it has been perceived that a correctional officer can be the most significant individual in the offender's life, having an influence in refining or declining the success of the different treatment programs that an offender undergoes (Josi & Sechrest, 1998, p. 3). Corrections is a human service occupation. Therefore, human service workers need to have knowledge of human behaviour and be able to assess their perspectives on any behaviour wisely and thus formulate reliable estimations. This will give them the opportunity to enjoy suitable decision making powers and formulate a trend on professional behaviour. Their knowledge of human behaviour will also strengthen the capability to foresee behaviour and give special knowledge to prevent any hesitancy(Williamson, 1990, p. 43). The role of the correctional officers (security staff) has intensely changed over the past few decades.The correctional officer is in today's corrections, expected to balance security and still be responsible for changing the behaviour of offenders constructively (Josi & Sechrest, 1998, p. 11). In order to have a comprehensive understanding of the distinctive and contradictory role of the correctional officer, it is very important to appreciate the changes that have transpired in penal philosophy all through the centuries. Throughout the research, the researcher will make an effort to capture the heritage of corrections and the evolving systems of punishment of Europe, the United States of America and South Africa and look at the applications of the rehabilitation concept and how the Correctional Officer has been utilised as a skilled and knowledgeable professional in the whole process. The aim of the research being to determine the effect that correctional and professional officers have on rehabilitation of offenders and determine the process by which the Correctional environment can be transformed to a true profession of highest integrity and competence. Objectives for the study will be: • To analyse the history and development of Corrections internationally and its philosophical background • To examine the impact of the history of rehabilitation in the South African Corrections system, from the development of the first prisons in 1652 to the demilitarisation of prisons system in the 1990s, right through to the actualisation of the South African White Paper on Corrections, 2005 • To critically examine the professional status of the Corrections occupation against other existing professions. The issues on education, training, credentialing, autonomy, code of ethics and special expertise are some of the aspects that will be looked at as the primary criterion for professions • To explain the conception of rehabilitation and its development and application both internationally and nationally • To critically look at the importance of Corrections system while highlighting the mandated role of the Correctional officer and the duality of the role of balancing security and rehabilitation. The study will contribute on the basis of knowledge in particular regard to Education and Training of Correctional Officers. A model will be developed for South African Correctional Services Systems and predominant focus will be on the performance and education and training of Correctional Officers in South Africa.
