44 Inspirational Quotes About Nature’s Beauty

– Posted in: Garden Design, Garden Musings

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls. Mother Teresa

Nature never hurries. Atom by atom, little by little she achieves her work. Ralph Waldo Emerson

An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day. Henry David Thoreau

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. John Muir

Fran Sorin Garden

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. Anne Frank

What I know of the divine sciences and Holy Scriptures, I learned in woods and fields. I have no other masters than the beeches and the oaks. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we only will tune in. George Washington Carver

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer

Trees are the earth’s endless effort to speak to the listening heaven. Rabindranath Tagore

The poetry of the earth is never dead. John Keats

Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God. George Washington Carver

There is nothing pleasanter than spading when the ground is soft and damp. John Steinbeck

The day I see a leaf is a marvel of a day. Kenneth Patton

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. Kahlil Gibran

I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.  e.e.cummings

Doe Run Garden In Brandywine Valley

The sky is the daily bread of the eyes. Ralph Waldo Emerson

The sun, with all those plants revolving around it and dependent upon it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do. Galileo

Fran Sorin Garden

A weed is no more than a flower in disguise. James Russell Lowell

There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story. Linda Hogan

The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world’s joy. Henry Ward Beecher

God is the friend of silence. Trees, flowers, grass grow in silence. See the stars, moon, and sun, how they move in silence. Mother Theresa

We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts. William Hazlett

Brooks to wade, water lilies, woodchucks, bats, bees, butterflies, various animals to pet, hay fields, pine-cones, rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries and hornets; and any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of…education”

Hi Hiten-
Great to see your face here. I do think that Nature is the greatest teacher. We just need to stop, look, and listen. The Joyce Kilmer poem is a classic. Hope you have a wonderful holiday. Warmly, Fran

Susan Bauer January 1, 2013, 2:32 pm

Dear Fran,
It’s the first day of the New Year 2013, and in my search on the web for gardening blogs in anticipation of spring, I stumbled upon yours–what a treasure! I enjoy all of the gardening/nature quotes and will use many of them in my own scrapbooking. In particular, I love the Kilmer poem about trees which I have hanging in my home as (illustrated and framed) as an heirloom treasure from my own grandmother. I also love the photos which remind me of my own gardens. Keep up the lovely work!

Fran Sorin January 2, 2013, 6:19 am

Thanks for your kind words.

I’m happy that the quotes touched something in you. Ahhh…the Kilmer poem….what a beauty. How lovely that your grandmother passed it onto you illustrated and that you have it hanging in your home. She must have been a special woman. Warmly, Fran

Misfits Group Shot

December 12, 2011 Comments (25) Views: 7619 Television

Misfits: The Best Show You’ve Never Seen

Misfits Group ShotWhy should you be watching Misfits? Well, because it’s good. Great, even. Just off the top of my head I can think of two ways to describe this British drama-comedy series: 1) It’s like the (original) groundbreaking British teen drama Skins but with superpowers; and/or 2) It’s like Heroes but, you know, actually good.

There doesn’t seem to be a lot of talk about this fun, clever series so here’s what you need to know:

The show first aired in the UK in 2009 with only 6 episodes. In 2010, season 1 won the BAFTA Television Award for Best Drama Series. Also in 2010, Misfits returned with season 2, giving us 6 more episodes and a completely blasphemous and hilarious Christmas special. The third season is currently underway on E4 in the UK.

Every episode is packed full of killer songs by artists like LCD Soundsystem, Florence and the Machine, Hot Chip, Gang Starr and even the theme song is by indie club favorites The Rapture. Suffice it to say, every episode will make you want to dance.

In a nutshell, Misfits revolves around 5 law-breaking kids, with pretty dirty mouths I might mention, who are forced to work out their probation doing community service. A freak storm breezes through and, somehow, unleashes powers upon the land giving each delinquent (and more) their own superpower. Then of course comedy, romance and murder ensue. That’s really all I can tell without giving away too much.

How does this superhero drama differ from the rest? We have all seen superhero shows where either the hero or the heroes use of power is so predictable it’s boring (No Ordinary Family). Or the powers are trying so hard to be original that it’s just silly (The Cape). But the way the series handles powers is by including them as a secondary trait to the characters rather bold personalities. This is where the show really comes alive. The series is about the individual and how they react to power instead of the power and how it makes the individual act. Did you get that? Good. And, yes, some of the abilities are not that unique, but how the character uses them are pretty different from what we’ve seen in the past. Let’s not forget these are kids and criminals who have powers, so you can’t expect them to always use their abilities in a likely or responsible way.

So, who are the ‘Misfits’ in question?
Simon BellamySimon Bellamy

Power – Invisibility

I started with him because he’s just so damn cute! And he’s very sweet and vulnerable which only makes him cuter. He’s definitely the soft-spoken one of the group and the one who manages to keep a level head in a crisis (which is always). Being a Sci-fi and comic nerd, he was the first to really grasp the gravity of having powers. He could be the leader of the group if he would only learn to speak up. Or maybe he could garner leadership by impressing everyone with his abs. Whatever. As long as he keeps taking off his shirt.

Kelly BailyKelly Baily

Power – Telepathy

This girl is a firecracker and boy does she have a mouth on her. Ill-tempered, brazen and outright funny, Kelly is one of the strongest on the team and she’s certainly not afraid to get her knuckles bruised. Not only does she have the advantage of knowing your next move, but this girl is filled with a fighting spirit and could tear you down with a look. Still, there’s a sweetness about her that keeps her from becoming obnoxious and enough raw charm to make you love her.

Curtis DonovanCurtis Donovan

Power – Limited time travel

Curtis has one of the more abstract powers of the group with his very limited time travel. It doesn’t work the way you might expect. He seems to have very little control in using this ability. It only works when he’s feeling deep remorse or regret; and sometimes it just happens. With a power like this you’d think he’d be the strongest member, but as you’ll find out in season 1, time travel is not as cool or convenient as you may think.

Alisha BailyAlisha Baily (no relation to Kelly)

Power – Affecting touch

Okay, this is a weird one. Similar to the X-Men’s Rogue, Alisha can’t touch anyone without serious consequences. Does she steal powers? Does she steal memories? Nope. If you’re a guy, her touch will drive you insane with arousal. Your innermost fantasies will be revealed usually in an aggressive string of obscenities and to quote Simon (the quiet, shy one) while under Alisha’s touch, “I wanna f*** your hairy armpit.” But if you’re a girl under Alisha’s grasp, then you spew the most hateful, vile insults. No word on what happens when she touches a gay person.

Nathan YoungNathan Young

Power – We had to wait an entire season to find out, so why should I let you find out so easily?

This lovable pervert is clearly the fan favorite of the group. He’s sleazy, crude, foul-mouthed, and unbelievably offensive, BUT he’s equally charismatic, witty, and undeniably sexy. He’s the kind of kind of guy you want to kiss out of lust and slap out of anger at the same time. He’s a superhero done right, but a human being done wrong. I just can’t seem to make up my mind on whether I like him or hate him. Whatever. Just know this about Nathan: He may or may not steal your heart, but he will certainly steal the show.

Now that you have a feeling for the team, why else should you watch it? It’s funny and brash. It’s smart and sexy. And importantly, it has good, solid writing. The stories are not overly complex or deep but rather, they’re simple and straightforward with just enough layers to offer the kind of twists that will keep you guessing, shocked, and dying of laughter. It’s everything you wanted from Heroes but never got; action, real drama, comedy, well used superpowers, and tons of personality. Each episode delivers the goods and you’ll wonder why it took you so long to find out about the show.

If you still need convincing, then go to to catch up on the first 2 seasons for free. Season 3 will air exclusively on Hulu starting December 19. Fair warning though, this show does have strong adult language and adult themes, so you will need to create a free account before launching an episode. If you find yourself falling in love, you could always head over to iTunes to purchase episodes in both standard and glorious high definition. If you still need more than that, exclusive behind the scenes clips and the like are offered on the official Misfits homepage at E4, but beware of spoilers.

Now if only we can keep this wonderful show from getting ripped off and turned into a washed-out American bore sure to be cancelled after 2 episodes.

Learning support during lockdown

Issue: Volume 99, Number 7

Posted: 18 May 2020
Reference #: 1HA7WW

With the help of assistive technology and a supportive family and team, Year 5 student Eli has been able to successfully transition back to school and continue his learning during lockdown.

Eli uses assistive technology to support his learning from home during lockdown, working alongside his brothers Isaac and Jesse.

Eli uses assistive technology to support his learning from home during lockdown, working alongside his brothers Isaac and Jesse.

The Honeysett family’s dining table resembles dining tables all over New Zealand during lockdown. It is covered with schoolwork and devices as their three children – Eli, his twin brother Isaac (both Year 5), and younger brother Jesse (Year 2) – carry out their schoolwork from their home. All three attend Kahutara Primary School, a rural school in South Wairarapa with a roll of 120 students.

Eli requires more support than his brothers. Four years ago, he developed a rare and severe case of transverse myelitis, a neurological condition that interrupts the messages that the spinal cord nerves send throughout the body.

He became unwell in April 2016 and after spending 10 months in Starship Hospital, followed by 11 months in Wairarapa Hospital, he gradually returned to school, increasing his hours of attendance as he became stronger. He eventually returned on a full-time basis this year after the school had completed a new medical room, enabling Eli to have his health needs met onsite. Eli is on a ventilator; he can talk, move his facial muscles and can feel, but not move.

A number of key people have supported Eli’s transition back to school. Among them is Deb Dennes of Central Regional Health School, and Eli’s specialist teacher, Mel Handyside. Both worked with Eli while he was in Wairarapa Hospital and during his transition back to school. At school, teacher aides Sandie and Eve work alongside teacher Ben Milne, to support Eli in class.

“Kahutara is a very welcoming, inclusive community. It has been a special time for everyone sharing Eli’s return to school,” says Mel.

Role of assistive technology in Eli’s learning

With the help of assistive technology – and much patience and perseverance – Eli and his team have been able to access the school curriculum. Eli uses a Surface Pro for his digital schoolwork. He can navigate his way around programmes with the integramouse. Once the integramouse is positioned in his mouth, he is able to work quickly and independently.

He uses Gmail, Google Docs, Seesaw and programmes such as Maths Buddy and Prototec, which are all used by the Kahutara students to access their learning programmes. Typing can get very tiring but Eli is able to use a software programme, WordQ5, to predictive type, reducing keystrokes.

“The future is exciting for Eli with the technology available. We are looking forward to experimenting with Dragon and Google Speak, using the many apps available to further develop Eli’s independence,” says Mel.

“The assistive technology, along with a team effort from everyone involved in Eli’s education journey so far has enabled Eli to access the school curriculum in a supportive inclusive environment at Kahutara School.”

Assistive technology

Support during lockdown

The technology has allowed Eli’s reintegration into school life to continue during lockdown. He is able to join class meetings and reading groups via Zoom and submit work on Seesaw. Class work is set on Hapara platform.

However, it hasn’t been easy for Eli’s parents, Matt and Tracey. The nature of lockdown has meant a lot less physical support with no teacher aide or specialist teacher attending Eli’s daily lessons. They also chose to have no carers or nurses for four weeks during the initial lockdown period.

“However, there was fantastic contact with the school and teachers, including Deb and Mel, to make sure Eli was coping with the school tasks given,” says Tracey.

“Support was offered to us as parents and to Eli using resources such as Facetime, email and phone calls. There were teething issues with using new websites, but all was resolved by communicating with Eli’s teacher Ben, and also Mel, around what was and wasn’t working.

“Mel was fantastic, especially in the early days and the unknown of how lockdown and home schooling would look. She provided worksheets and workbooks that would be useful should the technology-based work not work out,” says Tracey.

Of course, there’s another important determinant for Eli’s success in adapting to new technology and successfully transitioning back to school: Eli himself.

“He’s such a great kid and he’s doing so well. He’s got the right attitude,” says Mel.

“Eli has an amazingly positive nature, he works hard, he is interested, inquisitive, he likes to share his ideas and be involved in everything. Eli’s sense of humour and fun along with his determination has seen him achieve and meet learning expectations at school.”

HIV and Conflict in Nepal: Relation and Strategy for Response

Karkee, Rajendra, and DB Shrestha. 2006. “HIV and Conflict in Nepal: Relation and Strategy for Response.” Kathmandu University Medical Journal 4 (3): 363–67.

Authors: Rajendra Karkee, DB Shrestha

Conflict and displacement make affected population more vulnerable to HIV infection. Refugees and internally displaced persons, in particular women and children, are at increased risk of exposure to HIV. In Nepal, there is considerable increase in the number of HIV infection since 1996 when conflict started. Along with poverty, stigma and lack of awareness, conflict related displacement, economic migration, and closure of HIV programmes have exacerbated the HIV situation in Nepal. Government has established “National AIDS Council” and launched HIV/AIDS Strategy. The strategy has not included the specific needs of displaced persons. While launching an HIV prevention programme in the conflict situation, the guidelines developed by Inter Agency Standing Committee (IASS) are important tools. This led to suggestion of an approach with implementations steps in the case of Nepal in this report.

Loud Luxury

About Loud Luxury

University friends Andrew Fedyk and Joe De Pace from Canada, Ontario. Better known as Loud Luxury have been creating quite a stir in the dance music scene as of late.

With just a handful of releases under their belt, this Toronto dup and their sound – equal parts house and R&B, has garnered the support of tastemakers such as Tiësto, Martin Garrix, and Armin Van Buuren to name a few.

The fall of 2016 marked a pivotal moment for these young artists as they released a collaboration titled “Going Under“ with Borgeous which is featured on his debut album 13.
Immediately following that success, they produced a track for Tiësto’s AFTR:HRS compilation called “Fill Me In“ which hit number 2 on Spotify’s Global Viral Chart as well as hitting the Top 50 in 20 different countries' viral charts.

The duo is most well known for their debut official single release, “Body“, which received millions of streams worldwide and charted in several countries including their home nation of Canada before entering America’s Hot 100 over a year after the song’s initial release. Body ushered a new era for Loud Luxury, as well been cemented as one of the top upcoming artists to watch in dance music.

With their forthcoming release “Love No More“, the future appears bright for these young artists as they try to conquer the dance music world.

Sodium: Put that Salt Shaker Down!

Continuing our mini-series on “reading a nutrition label,” let’s talk about sodium.

Image Source:

Image Source:

What’s the difference between salt and sodium? Salt is partly made of the element Sodium. Break out your periodic tables people! Table salt (NaCl) is a combination of Chloride (60%) and Sodium (40%). Sodium is also found in lots of other food products like baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and sodium nitrate (used in preserving processed meats). When people talk about salt being bad for you, they are referring to the sodium that is in it.

What exactly does salt do, beside taste good? It helps you maintain balance of your natural body fluids, helps transmit nerve impulses, and influences contraction and relaxation of muscles.

So what’s so bad about salt? Kidneys play a key part in storing sodium; if your sodium levels are low in your body, your kidneys will store it. If there is too much sodium in your body, your kidneys will get rid of it through urine. However, if there is too much sodium in your body that your kidneys can’t get rid of, the sodium will move to your blood stream, absorb water and increases your blood volume. Remember turning on the hose as a kid and holding it so the pressure builds up so you can blast your friend with water? That’s similar to what happens in your veins and arteries. Pressure increases, making your heart work harder which can over time lead to bigger problems like heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and congestive heart failure. Check out the MayoClinic for more information.

The American Heart Association recommends consuming less than 1,500 milligrams (mg), or about ¾ of a teaspoon, of sodium a day.  That sounds easy, since you probably only add a few shakes of salt to your food, right? Wrong! Most Americans actually eat twice the amount of sodium recommended because it’s in almost everything, even in foods that don’t taste salty. It’s used most commonly as a preservative in canned goods, frozen entrees and processed foods.So it’s important to read your labels! Here’s how the American Heart Association classifies sodium levels in foods:

Sodium-free Less than 5 milligrams of sodium per serving
Very low sodium 35 milligrams or less per serving
Low sodium 140 milligrams or less per serving
Reduced (or less) sodium Usual sodium level is reduced by 25 percent per serving
Light (for sodium-reduced products) If the food is “low calorie,” “low fat” and sodium is reduced by at least 50 percent per serving
Light in sodium If sodium is reduced by at least 50 percent per serving

Source: American Heart Association

Quiz Time!

1. Sea salt has less sodium than regular table salt and is healthier.

FALSE! Both contain about 40% sodium. The only difference is that sea salt is less processed so there are more nutrients like magnesium and calcium intact, but these are in pretty neglible amounts so don’t think you can get your daily recommendation of calcium by eating more sea salt.

2. There is a nationwide initiative to lower sodium content in foods.

TRUE! The National Salt Reduction Initiative is partnering state and city governments with food companies to decrease sodium in their foods by 25% by 2014.

3. A nutrition label for a can of soup has 140 milligrams of sodium per serving and there are 4 servings in the can. This is a low sodium food.

TRUE AND FALSE! If you only have 1 serving, which is 140mg then yes it is low sodium. However if you eat the whole can which has 4 servings, you are consuming 560mg, almost half of the recommended daily allowance!

To learn more about ways to reduce your sodium consumption, check out the American Heart Association and Harvard School of Public Health.

And if you haven’t already, check out Part I and Part II of the “reading a nutrition label” series!

MRFC Hosts Facility Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

MRFC Hosts Facility Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

The Offices of Guam Homeland Security and Civil Defense (GHS/OCD) and the Mariana Regional Fusion Center (MRFC) hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony for the recent completion of the MRFC facility on Tuesday, February 18, 2020 at 10:30 a.m. at the GHS/OCD in Agana Heights.

The purpose of the ribbon cutting ceremony was to commemorate the recent completion of the expanded MRFC facility. The MRFC was first recognized as the nation’s 78th Fusion Center in April 2013. Since then, the MRFC has expanded to 12 full time intelligence analysts, with the inclusion of the Fusion Liaison Officers (FLO) Program with partnerships from local, private, and federal partner agencies. The MRFC also partner with the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Fusion Center node out of Saipan.

The new facility provides more space for the expanding MRFC team and allows for greater connectivity and continuity of operations within the MRFC, providing more communication tools needed to work with stakeholders and partners in homeland security and emergency management. The facility provides the capability to enhance information sharing system to prevent crime and terrorism in the Asia-Pacific region.

The community is always reminded of the resource to report any suspicious activity to the MRFC online at or email, following the Department of Homeland Security’s campaign, “If You See Something, Say Something.”

Content Being a Beta

Leadership is something a lot of people want; a lot of people like being in charge and calling all the shots but not me.

I mean I like being in control of my own life but if you ask me to be a leader of something… I’ll say no.

I discovered this recently and it kind of shocked me. Most people love this position so why don’t I?

I mean if I need to of course I will take charge of a situation. The kind of leadership roles I’m talking about is like being the leader of a group or a company. The only leadership I am comfortable with is when I teach or when it comes to my books.

But with my books the only person I lead is myself, so is it a leadership role?

Shelly Laurenston has written many supernatural romance books and I love them. There is a lot of wolves hybrids in her books so a lot of alphas. One character Dee Ann prefers to be a beta rather than an alpha because as an alpha you have to deal with a lot of bullshit. You have to maintain the alpha image and honestly it just looks stressful and annoying.

I’d rather let someone else take the stress and glory whilst I just help from the background. I’d rather be the samurai than the Lord, the princess rather than the Queen.

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to be an omega. I’d rather just live a chill life as a beta. Even in friendship groups I’m not about that leading life nor am I about that omega life, just the chill beta life.

Having said that I still find myself in leadership roles. You can’t help it, there will be times where you’ll have to lead but for the most part I get my wish and I get to live the beta life.

(That was an accidental pun).

What do you prefer being, an alpha, beta or an omega?

(This post is random I know).

Treefort Music Festival 2020: GUM’s Must See Acts

Treefort Music Festival 2020 is an experience of discovery and community within downtown Boise, Idaho. The event will be held from March 25-29, tickets on sale now.

Treefort Music Fest is quickly becoming more than an annual music event. What features over 400 bands and artists throughout every medium, the spirited DIY aesthetics of the festival are few, of many, charming characteristics.

Spanning across multiple venues in downtown Boise, Idaho, the 5-day event is all about discovery and community. Slated for its ninth year, running from March 25-29th and ranging in prices from $100 – $385, there’s a lot to be enjoyed.

Main Stage, El Korah Shrine, Linen Building, Neurolux, The Olympic, Knitting Factory, and Regal Beaver are all official venues this year. With the first show kicking off at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 25, the days to follow will each offer their unique programming. The festival boasts of 12 “forts,” each focusing on a different art and bringing along a slew of talent to represent.

GUM has made it a little bit easier of who to catch and what to do when attending Treefort.

Chromatics, Japanese Breakfast, Calexico, and Omar Apollo take the reins of headliners for this year’s fest alongside Peter Bjorn and John, and Pell. And if you’re from Los Angeles you may be familiar with locals Lauren Ruth Ward, Rituals of Mine, James Supercave and SadGirl — who are are obvious must sees. Due to the excitement of being in Downtown Boise though, we first want to highlight local talent.

Madisun Proof (The Reef, Thursday March 26 @ 11:30 p.m.)

Boise’s own Madisun Proof has been making her rounds in the local hip hop scene since with her “On the Real” single in 2018 and collaborative work with the 208 Family artist collective. Her work with the group culminated in the Crossroads mixtape and burned her name on the map of conscious-style rappers in the tradition of Atmosphere and Ms. Lauryn Hill, among others.

queen boychild (Linen Building, Wednesday March 25 @ 9:30 p.m.)

Boise native duo queen boychild are following up on 2018’s Candid Colors, their experimental debut that pulls from a blurry dimension of echoing string play ghostly harmonies that ring bells from the studios of Coco Rosie and Brian Eno.

The French Tips (El Korah Shrine, Friday March 27 @ 7:50 p.m.)

Rustic dance-punk outfit The French Tips are Boise locals who originally teamed up to play covers for a show in 2017. A howling introduction of their debut It’s the Tips brought distortion-laden licks to the ears of the nostalgic and the futurists.

Oyó (The Reef, Thursday March 26 @ 9:30 p.m.)

Boise’s electronica, bedroom-pop artist takes you to an ethereal platform with her hooks, vocals, and vivid lines. On her debut single “True Heart,” it’s easy to get lost in the cool-toned keys and down-tempo dance rhythms, but this is one indie hole you don’t mind getting lost in.

By Fire & Sword (Tom Grainey’s, Sunday March 29 @ 11 p.m.)

Gospel metal. That is all.

Ivy Rosé (Adelmann North, Capital City Event Center Saturday, March 28 @ 9 p.m.)

As a conduit builder for deep, progressive house, Ivy Rosé has been spinning and programming for over a decade. Though her SoundCloud only features two tracks, each are just over-hour-long mixes that blend into your local environment. It’s the beauty of international influence at work.

Rodeo Screams (Regal Beaver, Wednesday March 25 @ 7 p.m.)

The Boise locals have been cutting their teeth on a circuit of house shows since their inception as a one man horror garage something or other. The project quickly developed into a four-piece narrative entitled The Cramps Lost in Fields of the Nephilim. For the better, they are the Venom of whatever they’ve started. Godspeed!

Sun Blood Stories (Neurolux, Friday, March 27 @ 9:30 pm)

These locals are a sentient three-capped mushroom trip introduced by a passing comet. No wonder fellow etherealists Wolveserpent described them as “high desert psychedelia.” What Sun Blood Stories plays is borne from open skies and prolonged exposure to the infinite. Melodic, focused, eternal – this is meant to be felt as well as heard.

Bread & Circus (The Funky Taco, Friday, March 27 @ 12:10 a.m.)

Boogie-rock and soul band have made their mark with many stints throughout their hometown of Boise. The quartet cultivates a welcoming atmosphere through their massive instrumental breaks, harmonic hooks, and dusty tone, all while sporting a mandolin. Led by Michael Blumenstein’s warm and matter-of-fact vocals, Bread & Circus invites sweet reflection at the end of a long day.

Error handling pitfalls in Scala

Error handling pitfalls in Scala

There are multiple strategies for error handling in Scala.

Errors can be represented as [exceptions][], which is a common way of dealing with errors in languages such as Java. However, exceptions are invisible to the type system, which can make them challenging to deal with. It's easy to leave out the necessary error handling, which can result in unfortunate runtime errors.

Enforcing invariants in Scala datatypes

Enforcing invariants in Scala datatypes

Scala provides many tools to help us build programs with less runtime errors. Instead of relying on nulls, the recommended practice is to use the Option type. Instead of throwing exceptions, Try and Either types are used for representing potential error scenarios. What’s common with these features is that they’re used for capturing runtime features in the type system, thus lifting the runtime scenario handling to the compilation phase: your program doesn’t compile until you’ve explicitly handled nulls, exceptions, and other runtime features in your code.

Allow serialization converters to be registered for each cluster instead
of in a global static scope.

Add a hidden DefaultSerializationConverterProvider as internal, and add
a method to inject an alternative via CouchbaseLinqConfiguration.

Also add the IJsonNetSerializationConverterRegistry as a setting to
CouchbaseLinqConfiguration to provide a method to easily inject custom
converters without replacing DefaultSerializationConverterProvider.

Update SerializationExpressionTreeProcessor to get the
ISerizationConverterProvider from DI.

Serialization converters are more easily customizable.

The official Language Integrated Query (LINQ) provider for querying Couchbase Server with N1QL using the Couchbase .NET SDK. The goal of Linq2Couchbase is to create a lightweight ORM/ODM for querying Couchbase Buckets using LINQ as the lingua-franca between your application and Couchbase Server using N1QL, a SQL-like query language for JSON documents. It also provides a write API for performing CRUD operations on JSON documents.

While not an officially supported Couchbase project, this repo is actively maintained and monitored. If you happen to find a bug or have any questions, please either create an issue or make a post on Additionally, we actively accept contributions!

:info: This documentation is for Linq2Couchbase 2.x, compatible with Couchbase SDK 3.x. For documentation on Linq2Couchbase 1.x compatible with Couchbase SDK 2.x, see the release14 branch.

Getting started

The Linq2Couchbase project has the following dependencies:

  • Couchbase Server 4.0 or greater with the query service enabled on at least one node
  • Couchbase .NET SDK 3.0.3 or greater

Installing Couchbase Server

For a single instance of Couchbase Server running on localhost, you can download Couchbase Server here (make sure it's 4.0 or later). If you would like to create a cluster, the easiest way is by using the Vagrant scripts for provisioning clusters. Additionally, you can use Docker scripts. Follow the directions on each respective link for installation information.

Installing the package using NuGet

Once you have a Couchbase Server instance or cluster setup, open Visual Studio 2019 or greater or MonoDevelop and create a .NET or .NET Core application. Open the NuGet Package Manager and search for "Couchbase Linq" or type the following into the Package Manager console:

Install-Package Linq2Couchbase

Quick Start

This Quick Start assumes that you have already installed the travel-sample bucket, which is available and built-in to Couchbase Server.

Query the 'travel-sample' bucket and return 10 airlines in any order:

static async void Main() {
    var cluster = await Cluster.ConnectAsync("couchbase://localhost", options => {
        options.UserName = "Administrator";
        options.Password = "password";

    // Wait until the cluster is bootstrapped
    await cluster.WaitUntilReadyAsync(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));

    var context = new BucketContext(await cluster.BucketAsync("travel-sample"));
    var query = (from a in context.Query<AirLine>()
                where a.Country == "United Kingdom"
                select a)

    await foreach (var airline in query.ToAsyncEnumerable())

Upon running this query, you should expect console output similar to:

{"Id":"10642","Type":"airline","Name":"Jc royal.britannica","Iata":null,"Icao":"JRB","Callsign":null,"Country":"United Kingdom"}
{"Id":"112","Type":"airline","Name":"Astraeus","Iata":"5W","Icao":"AEU","Callsign":"FLYSTAR","Country":"United Kingdom"}
{"Id":"16881","Type":"airline","Name":"Air Cudlua","Iata":null,"Icao":"CUD","Callsign":"Cudlua","Country":"United Kingdom"}

Full code example, including AirLine class definition.

Google Can Expect a Call from the FTC Over Its New Social Search Feature

Illustration for article titled Google Can Expect a Call from the FTC Over Its New Social Search Feature

Google changed the way its search works yesterday by heavily integrating Google+ social media content into its search engine results. Now, advocacy groups are up in arms about potential invasions of user privacy. What, like you didn't see this coming.

The Electronic Privacy Information Center announced today that it is considering filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission regarding Google's new "Search, Plus Your World." Specifically the group believes Google's actions violate Antitrust statutes by leveraging its power in the search sector to better compete in social networking. As EPIC's executive director, Marc Rotenberg, points out, "Google is an entrenched player trying to fight off its challenger Facebook by using its market dominance in a separate sector."

Rotenberg goes on to say, "Although data from a user's Google+ contacts is not displayed publicly, Google's changes make the personal data of users more accessible" which could leave it vulnerable to tampering by malicious users. Granted, while Microsoft's Bing search engine, which has content agreements with Facebook, employ's its social information source in a similar manner, Google's overwhelming dominance in search—handling nearly 2/3 of US queries—puts it under increased scrutiny. To be fair, though, Facebook currently has about 800 million users and a track record of stepping all over their privacy, while Google+ has just 40 million users.

What do you think, is Google really overstepping its bounds by including opt-out social information in its search results or is this another case of a self-appointed Internet sheriff tattling to Federal regulators about a company's actions that it disagrees with? [LA Times - Image: The AP]

Arggh! there goes a...snake a snake!

I'm actually quite surprised G+ already has 40 million users. I'm on it, but it still feels quite empty. I wonder if there are other regions in the world where it's taking off a lot faster. Either way, to already have 5% of the number of users that Facebook has, seems small but is pretty impressive. It took Facebook over 6 years to get to 400 million. Of course it's not apples to apples because Facebook was only open to colleges at first but still....

Specifying the project name and system file specifications

Specifying the project name and system file specifications

On the Build menu, click System File Specifications, or click the Buildplus gobutton.png button on the toolbar.

The System File Specifications dialog allows you to:

  • specify the project name and databases to be included in the project in the initial build, or
  • change which databases are chosen for a rebuild,
  • add or change the 800xA graphics locations, and
  • add or change the location of function code files to be built in.

Other types of files are added a little later in the Configuration Wizard. Before starting a build, you may need to extract a current database for your 800xA graphics, Symphony Plus graphics, or PPB graphics

At any time, contextual help can be obtained by clicking on the ? box in the top right corner of the dialog box, and then clicking on the object you are wondering about.

Naming the project

In the System File Specifications dialog, enter a unique and meaningful name for your project (e.g. a few words that identify the function, location, plant or company). Note:maximum 220 characters including build root, and certain characters may not be allowed.

Database Specification.png

Choosing database types and 800xA graphics

In the System File Specifications dialog, check the boxes that apply to database types (and 800xA graphics) in your project:

  • SPE 2.x/Composer systems – TOC.DAT dir, .EBP databases (See also instructions to extract a backup of your S+ Engineering database)
  • Access .MDB databases – Process Portal B / Operate IT / Conductor NT systems / 800xA / GPI / HPG / HGS. Note: for 800xA VB, use a Harmony Tag Export MDB file (replacing the configserver.mdb). (See also instructions to extract an Operate IT Database for 800xA and for PPB)
  • .XML Databases – for some Process Portal B systems
  • WinCAD/WinTools systems – .PTT FoxPro databases
  • Generic tag and trend databases: .DBF, .TTG and .TTR in addition to OPC-90 .CSV, Citect Console Databases, .UCF files plus any other database types that you can export into .DBF format.
  • S+, PI, generic - .XLS and .XLSX Excel Workbooks - This reads in data stored in spreadsheets, including OSISoft PI configuration documents and Symphony Plus graphics databases.
  • 800xA .AFW Backup Folder (.AFW dir) - AFW full backup directories (generally containing a number of file names starting with 0_). This is used for extracting VB graphics and for getting more information for PG2 graphics, and should be built into all 800xA projects. Contact GMCL for more information and help with your specific systems. See also the instructions to extract 800xA graphics.
  • 800xA Files Folders (.PNG dir) - Directory by default named AssystSnapshot that contains .png graphics files in folder AssystSnapshot; it should exist alongside a corresponding AssystInfo folder containing encrypted .txt files.
  • ABB Function Code PDF Files (any form) can be built in by ensuring this box is checked.

If there are other database types you wish to build in, please contact GMCL.

More information is available:

Specifying where to search for your databases, 800xA graphics and Function Code files

Entering paths to databases, 800xA graphics and function code help files

Note the databases, graphics and function code files do not have to be located on the same computer, or on the build computer, and DBDOC access is read-only. But if you don't have access to the computer that contains the source files, you will have to copy them to your local computer. In this case, leave the directory structure the same. Using UNC naming conventions may be helpful if you later move to a new computer.

  • Enter the folder name in which the file(s) reside, and BuildPlus will find the files, or you may include the name of the file.
  • Once a path has been entered, the drop-down arrow can be used to select the same location for other file types OR you can copy and paste from one box to another.

Browsing to choose paths

  • Clicking on Browse will bring up the Windows "Browse for Files or Folders" dialog, where a directory or file can be selected, or the folder path can be copied in.
  • You can select the directory in which the file(s) reside and BuildPlus will find the files, or you may include the name of the file.
  • This choice will be appended to the end of any search paths already entered.

Adding more than one path

  • More than one path will be searched if multiple paths are listed for each database type, separated with a "|" character
  • Multiple paths can be quickly added by clicking the Browse button and selecting additional paths.

You many also add the location of your function code pdf help files.

After specifying the locations of your files, click Next to have BuildPlus find your files.

Selecting specific databases and 800xA graphics locations

  • The left panel displays "databases to select from"; all databases of the specified type found by BuildPlus in the specified search paths. If you wish to change the search path to find additional databases, use the Back button.
  • The right panel displays "databases to be included in the build", including any database names entered previously (provided they were located in the search). If only one database was found during the search, it will be automatically moved into the final list.
  • Move a database from one list to another by selecting it from the initial list and clicking the enabled Add or Remove button as required. Using the CTRL or SHIFT key in combination with the mouse can make multiple database selections.
  • If a database has "Unimplemented Type" listed for the file size, BuildPlus has identified that it cannot process the file, and that file cannot be selected.
  • As of DBDOC 11.1, the type of database is displayed for .mdb and .dbf
  • The Next/Finish button will be enabled when there is at least one database in the final list.
  • To proceed with the build without selecting any databases of a given type, use the checkbox Check here to continue without selecting any databases. You may also use the Back button to omit that type of database from the build.

Buildplus 7.png

  • SPE 2.x and Composer EBP databases are each shown with a checkbox in the final selection list. Unchecking the box means that databases extracted from that EBP file will not be used or included in your build. (All databases are of equal importance unless you choose to exclude the databases extracted from an .ebp file, giving more importance the graphics databases.) Generally, you would only uncheck the EBP database if it is unused, obsolete or in some other way invalid, and a better database can be built in (for example a graphics database).
  • Locations of Function Code .pdf files are listed for information, and BuildPlus will select the appropriate files. To change which locations of Function Code .pdf files are included, use the Back button to the System File Specification box, find your preferred file location and check the Redo box, then click Next to proceed.

System File(s) Chosen lists all your selections so far. If corrections need to be made, press the Back button to review the system file selection panels. Otherwise, press the Finish button to continue. After some database processing, the Configuration Wizard will appear.
