I am SO happy they opened this location! The lobby was spotless and i was warmly welcomed at my 1st impressive trip to the Sebastian store. First i was so happy to see Maureen whom i already knew from my local, She was super helpful and cheerful at my trip here. Not only was i impressed that the inventory was still so stocked at such a late time of the day on a loose drop day, but i had made the order online and it was filled and i got the pickup email within the hour! I was so amazed it got filled that quick i had to go see how they did it. The other Truelieve's need to take note how they do it because fast doesn't describe it!! I wanted to personally thank James who was super friendly, and went out of his way to find something special i decided i wanted last minute. All in all-It was such a pleasurable experience... i think they may be seeing me a bit more down there! If your going by- check em out- you'll be glad you did!read more

Really was impressed with the new Sebastian location. I was at their grand opening. It was busy...but ran smoothly. The wait time wasn't bad at all. The host, Dalton, was very friendly and helpful.

Market Analysis 2020 : Green Cardamom

Share on facebook
Share on google
Share on twitter
Share on linkedin

Origin of Green Cardamom

Botanically named as Elettaria Caradamomum Maton, cardamom is a dried ripe fruit of zingiberaceae family. It has a pleasant aroma and taste. Cultivated in Western Ghats of Southern India along with countries like Thailand, Papua & New Guinea, Laos and Vietnam.

Cardamom can only be cultivated in an area which has altitude of 600-1500 meter above sea level, which makes Western Ghats of Southern India an ideal topography for cultivation which also means spice manufacturers, traders and suppliers of India alongwith cardamom exporters can capitalise this benefit and push exports of cardamom around the world.

Varieties of Green Cardamom

The major varieties identified for green cardamom, also known as small cardamom, are as mentioned below:

  • Mysore
  •  Malabar
  •  Vazhukka

There are certain high yielding varieties developed by Indian Institute of Spice Research. Following are the new varieties of Cardamom:

  • Coorg Cardamom-1
  • Suvasini
  • Avinash
  • Vijetha-I

Global Production of Green Cardamom:

global production green cardamom

The most common species produced is small cardamom which is by far best in quality. India leads the production of cardamom which is 38000 metric tonnes in 2016 followed by Guatemala which produced 35000 metric tonnes during the same period.

Total production of cardamom was 121,939 metric tonnes in 2016.

India, Guatemala and Indonesia produce, on an average, 1,04,514 of cardamom which accounts to 85.71% of world cardamom production. Individually India produced 31.11% of cardamom of the world followed by Guatemala 29.04% in the year 2016.

According to Goldstein Research global cardamom market is expected to grow at 87.21 billion USD by the end of 2024 at CAGR of 2.50%  – This is a sufficient edge for all the spice manufacturers, spice suppliers, spice traders and cardamom suppliers around the world.

Production of Cardamom in India

India being a market leader in production of cardamom has produced large stock of cardamom ready to be exported around the world. However, most of the yield of green cardamom spice comes from particularly three states of Southern India i.e. Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu.

Total State Wise Production of Cardamom (in Metric Tonnes)
State 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19
Kerala 21503 15650 18350 11535
Karnataka 1437 1449 1450 690
Tamil Nadu 950 891 850 715
Total 23890 17990 20650 12940

Except 2018-19, there has been steady production of cardamom in all the three states which makes this crop as cash cow for spice exporters of India.

The reason for low productionof Cardamom in the year 2018-19 is due to heat and low rains in the country. You can read more about in from here.

4 Indonesia $16.49M 5.60%
5 Myanmar $11.15M 3.80%

Brand Tips for Sage Archetypes

sage brand tips

Life as a sage can feel like one big expedition in search of the truth – and once you have an irresistible brand, others will feel compelled to join you on your journey. Who knows? They might even bring brain food to share.

But before you go rushing to give all of your knowledge away, there’s something slightly more pressing demanding your attention:

Your brand. If you’re not attracting the right people (or any people) to your cause, it could be that your brand is ever so slightly misaligned with who you are.

Ready to make some seriously wise branding decisions? Of course you are! All you need now is the right advice…

Be yourself

For an archetype with an affinity for truth, the biggest branding mistake you could make is to hide your true self from your community.

Wanna win a few brownie points with your community?

Then your next (wise) move is to conduct an authenticity audit on your brand, including the design, copy, and content strategy. Being your true, dog-loving, coriander-hating self is the best way to make your followers feel comfortable doing the same.

How to do it: Rip off the bandaid! Look through all of your social posts from the past few years and delete anything that no longer represents who you are.

Build your sage credibility

Let’s be real: anyone can put on an expensive pair of reading glasses and a detective’s cap and boost their image IQ by a few hundred points…

But when your community wants answers to their pressing questions, they’ll go to an authority they can trust (glasses optional), and earning that front-of-mind presence requires two things:

  1. Knowledge (duh)
  2. Credibility

Credibility is the magical brand glue that joins your public life with your personal life. It needs time to take hold, but once it sticks, you won’t want to use anything else.

How to do it: Be prepared for the long haul! Building a credible brand is all about the small steps you take every day to position yourself as a thought leader – steps like these:

  • Post behind the scenes. Show your audience the substance behind your sage wisdom.
  • Associate yourself with the right crowd. Collaborate with people who have an envy-inducing reputation for being knowledgeable and trustworthy).
  • Make like a high school history student and check your sources. False “facts” from Wikipedia won’t get you very far.

Back it up

Real talk: you can spend all day telling your followers why they should buy from you, but nothing speaks louder than the truth. We’re talking legitimate, doubt-crushing, objection-killing data.

Boring? Maybe a little. Powerful? Abso-freakin’-lutely.

Facts are the ultimate sage comeback to objections because…well, you have proof!

Once you have the research, it’s time to put your content plan to work! Build an intricate web of blogs, complement them with an email campaign, and throw in a few clever social posts for good measure. How very sage of you.

How to do it: include backlinks to your information sources where appropriate (especially in blogs). This is great for two reasons:

  1. It boosts your SEO ranking, and…
  2. It lets your readers know that you didn’t just pull a bunch of numbers out of your ear.

Encourage open discussion

If our experience of life is rooted in our thoughts, then hearing, understanding, and analysing others’ thoughts is the pathway to a more complete life experience, so encourage it!

In an ideal world, your social media page would be almost like a digital watering hole where your community could share insights – even if those insights aren’t always positive.

Understanding and accepting others’ truths is part of the search, and even though feedback can be scary, it will only reinforce the truth and conviction behind your brand.

How to do it: Invite your community to reply to your emails and comment on your blogs and social media posts. Let them know that you value their contributions and make each interaction valuable. They’ll love you for it!

Take a cue from explorers

A sage might prefer to let wisdom brew from the comfort of their desk, but as any true nature-lover will tell you, the natural world is a fabulous teacher.

Being out there will give you the chance to collect real experiences and use them to fuel your content.

Even if you’re not in a position to travel right now (thanks, COVID!), there’s plenty to be gained from an adventurous internet search.

Information is power, so start sharing it around and building your network!

How to do it:

Start your own information source. Try writing a series of blogs about your favourite thought leaders, taking your readers on virtual adventures, or asking them questions within your area of expertise that get them thinking.

Here’s the bottom line: your brand has the power to completely change how people see you, and by extension, how they see the world. We could pretend like that’s No Big Deal, but deep down, we all know that it’s a Very Big Deal…

So, if you’re ready to embrace your archetype and work smarter (not harder), there’s only one thing to do: click here to find out more about our branding offers.

Best Football Joke Ever

by The Internet

Hours after the end of the world, a border dispute emerged between Heaven and Hell. God invited the Devil for a conversation in the hopes of finding a way to resolve this dispute quickly.

Satan, the devil, proposed a football game between Heaven and Hell.

 God, always fair, warned the Devil, “The heat must be affecting your brain, the game would be so one sided, don’t you know all the ‘good’ players go to heaven?”

The Devil, smiled back. “Yes, but we’ve got all the refs’…”

Yes, it’s one great football joke!

Author Unknown

Here’s Another!

Two old men were holding up the security/entrance line to the football stadium, while one of them hunted for his ticket. He searched in his coat pockets and shirt pockets. He even emptied his jean pockets, all to no avail…

“Hang on a minute…,” said the gateman, “…what’s that in your mouth?”

“It’s the missing ticket!”

As they moved inside his mate said…
“Geez Henry! You must be getting senile in your old age. How can you have your ticket in your mouth and forgetting about it!”

“’I’m not that stupid…,” said old Henry, “…I was chewing last week’s date off it.”

Have You Walked Your Lawn Mower Today?

Lawnmower toy (fork).

If you’re like most Homeowners (and of course you are), you have one or two pet lawn mowers in your garage, shed, or rusting out in your yard. But many Homeowners do not know how to properly care for their lawn mowers. In fact, most of us could probably be convicted of Lawn Mower Neglect at some time or other, if our treatment of lawn mowers ever happened to be caught on video and shared on social media.

Like most beasts of burden, the lawn mower needs to be fed, watered, and given rest once in awhile. But most of all, the lawn mower needs to be walked. If you’ve ever walked a 5-foot tall great dane, you know it’s not easy, but it must be done. In fact, if it isn’t done, your great dane will probably become your not-so-great dane, eventually becoming a hound of heaven who will take you for more than a walk—and believe me, I know. Anyway, lawn mowers are no different.

By taking your lawn mower for a walk, you can give it some much-needed exercise, preferably in a restful, relaxing atmosphere, where it can meet other lawn mowers and resharpen its blades a bit. Taking it to a shady park with a purpose-built walkway paid for by the town in which you reside is an excellent choice. You’ll also want to bring along some toys for it to play with, such as a tennis or golf ball that it can fetch, an old shoe for it to chew up, or even a fork or other piece of flatware. If you don’t already have these items, don’t fret! for lawn mowers are great at finding one or two of each in almost any grassy area. They seem to instinctively hone in on exactly those sort of things, as if it’s in their DNA.1

Walking your lawn mower can last anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours, 36 minutes, and 4 seconds (Greenwich Median Time), so you should bring along the sunscreen, a sombrero, a bottle of water that you paid several pounds2 for, and a can of WD-40. Being thus prepared, you may find your neighbours even asking you to borrow your equipment, and inquiring where you bought that cool hat.3

And finally, don’t forget to wear closed-toed shoes, in case your lawn mower gets a little too playful with you.

  1. Scientists currently studying lawn mower DNA are trying to isolate the gene for this instinct, but the evidence for it so far is inconclusive.
  2. Or scores of shillings, or loads of ha’pennies.
  3. Tell them it was your second-to-last trip to Cancun—that’s in Mexico—rather than the costume section of the thrift store.

The malaise, resist it and know that the sweet nostalgia of autumn is upon us and the fog is thickening. Ernest Hemingway’s grandson John joins me this month to discuss a very interesting childhood, and we are honored to premier the immensely gifted Samantha Farrell’s new album, Luminous, right here on The Clarity. Terese Svoboda is eloquence manifested, as she debuts and reads two new poems, The Tree, Shaken and Which Poem Comes Last?

The 6th Annual Jeffersontown Summer Craft Beer Fest is coming this Saturday, July 17. The fest returns after last’s year’s pandemic-mandated layoff.

Sponsored by the legal firm of Middleton Reutlinger, the festival will be held from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Gaslight Pavilion and 3rd Turn Brewing (10434 Watterson Trail, Jeffersontown, Kentucky), with an expanded festival footprint and two stages for live music.

The pathway toward J-town’s rebooted beer fest is festooned with bullet points:

  • 3rd Turn Brewing will headline the Kentucky Corner hosted by Cox’s Smokers Outlets & Sprits Shoppes and Evergreen Liquors, featuring a dozen or more Kentucky breweries.
  • 85+ craft beers will be featured, including national (New Belgium) and regional (Braxton) breweries; local favorites (Against the Grain); and newcomers like Atrium Brewing Company.
  • RecBar502 will offer classic arcade and pinball games; Oliver Winery (Bloomington IN) will run an old-fashioned ring toss game for a chance to win a VIP tour; and radio personalities from Alpha Media will broadcast live on site.
  • Expected food trucks and snack vendors are to include Fresh Out the Box, Six Forks Burger Company, Cafe502 and Froggy’s Popcorn.
  • Organizers are HB Productions (of Tailspin Ale Fest fame), the City of Jeffersontown and the Jeffersontown Chamber of Commerce.
  • Tickets are $40.00 per person in advance (at selected locations of Cox’s Smoker’s Outlets & Spirits Shoppes, and Evergreen Liquors); $45,00 in advance on-line; and $50.00 on the day of the show (if any tickets remain).

As noted previously in this digital space, as well as being the subject of my print column in the current edition of Food & Dining Magazine, Louisville Ale Trail is an independent marketing venture founded in early 2020 by Louisvillians Michael Moeller, David Satterly and John Ronayne, who are beer-hobbyists-turned-beervangelists.

They’re the source of the Louisville Ale Trail Passport, Louisville Beer Appreciation Day and Louisville Beer Week, and speaking of the latter, October 22 through 29 are the dates for Louisville Beer Week 2021, when the beer and brewing community will welcome you back to the future in the form of the “Pouring” Twenties.

There is another evolving project at Louisville Ale Trail that is near and dear to this columnist’s heart: props for Kentucky Common, our indigenous beer style. This is delightful; after all, I’ve been advocating Kentucky Commonism for quite some time as one tasty aspect of session-strength beers.

Hip Hops: Kentucky Common should be the beer from here, right?

“We want to get Kentucky to name an official state beer,” Moeller told me during our interview earlier this year, “and for the state beer to be Kentucky Common.”

Last week Moeller and the lads at Louisville Ale Trail got this state beer idea rolling.

My reaction to the news?

Look, I’ll never, ever — even for a millisecond — begrudge the cultural and economic dominance of bourbon in the context of Kentucky. “Bourbonism” is fitting and proper in every conceivable sense. At the same time, Kentucky Common has a compelling story entirely its own, and as beer styles go, Common deserves to be better known.

I predict that even though Andy Beshear has a lot on his plate, he’ll see the possibilities and approve this motion.

Roger Baylor is an entrepreneur, educator, and innovator with more than 35 years of hands-on experience and expertise as a beer seller, restaurateur, and commentator. As the co-founder of New Albany’s Sportstime Pizza/Rich O’s Public House (which later became New Albanian Brewing Company) in the 1990s and early 2000s, Baylor played a seminal role in Louisville’s craft beer renaissance. Currently he is the beer director at Pints&union in New Albany. Baylor’s “Hip Hops” columns on beer-related subjects have been a fixture in F&D since 2005, and he was named the magazine’s digital editor in 2019.

To try and find the right wood that is 4-6′ long in pencil to pinky-finger thin in almost branchless shoots that will weather the sun and rain for more than a year or two for outdoor building and sculpture does my head in!

Growing here there are dogwoods, of the striking reds and pale yellow greens, though they have usually been planted stem by stem in the few trca plantings that the city can afford and are anything but branchless. They will outlast willow birch and poplar, especially if the bark is intact, though I have the feeling that their color will bleed to a mordor black.

There are, cultivated in a few hundred ultra manicured front gardens in toronto, multi-stemmed hazel trees. They shine almost golden, and I am enamored by the beaked-hazel, which I have seen but twice in and around the don in the last five years. Most of the hazels you see are horribly pruned out of season and above the ground, since it is somewhat counter-intuitive knowledge that this short beauty will not last twenty years without being cut back down to the ground.

Here grows the principle problem with finding stems of the length I need to produce useful garden fencing and furniture; that without pruning to make the stumps more competitive and multi stemmed, they tend to divide oddly. If I could run around at night, in the right season mind, and bring these beautiful trees back ‘into cycle’ it would solve the problem of the right wood.

Another more capable and equally as water/sun resistant as hazel is the locust. There certainly is an incredible amount of work involved in removing the paired thorns of the black locust. Many days I have set out with grand schemes of processing this tree, and have switched to more useful tasks within the hour. This tree, the black locust, is unfortunately brittle, and does not take to twisting into rope to secure corners of fencing or whathaveyou. The bark is amazing, though mildly toxic, and has similar qualities to cherry or elm barks (used for chair backings, leatherlike).

Though I love the willows, unless they are planted as live structures (putting 8″ of the stem in the ground in late fall early spring, and caring for them well over the first year) I think they will rot out in 5, depending on how much sun they get to degrade the bark.

This problem evolved out of trying to make animal enclosures, and you would not invest in a massive amount of willow hurdles unless they were going to last. Hazel can buy you another 5-10 years, and I would assume locust is about the same. This is of course without treating the wood, which could be done with a turpentine produced as a byproduct of traditional charcoal production.

The list grows short, though maples, ash and others like chestnut or even yew would do beautifully, though I would prefer, in most cases to leave these tall competitive saplings intact for the most part (except for some singling or light thinning).

When I built the fence at belong, I harvested roughly 200 8-12′ thumb sized sugar maple stems per acre. This provided the uprights, numbering around 160, for the 1000 pussy willows that were then woven to make a 155′ fence. I would not have harvested more, since there was 3′ of snow and it looked like the deer and rabbits were doing enough thinning of the stems, and had their own version of forest stewardship well in hand (so to speak). Also it pays to be selective in material, since I was almost selecting to the mm to create something that was thin enough for willows to bend around but thick enough to withstand being upright. Regardless this abundance of young trees does not exist in the g.t.a. Obviously.

It seems to be a long road, enculturing the use and stewardship of branchwood to create an alternate economy in outdoor fencing, charcoal, living structures in todays urban cityscape.

One stump at a time.

To the Field of Stars

S:t Jacob's Chamber Choir
Gary Graden

To the Field of Stars (Gabriel Jackson)
Prayer for Travelling
Pilgrim's Song with History Lesson
Walking with God
Our Journey had Advanced
Campus Stellae (The Field of Stars)
Compostela (O quam gloriosum)
Pilgrimage Lang ist die Zeit (Hans Schandrl)
Farewell (Enrico Miaroma)

The S:t Jacobs Chamber Choir under the direction of Gary Graden presents this CD of newly composed music on the themes of travel and pilgrimage: journeys in time and space. Cosmic journeys to find one’s self and the meaning of life. A central figure in the lyrics is the patron saint of travelers, Saint James, Sankt Jacob, Santiago.

Gabriel Jackson’s 30-minute-long cantata “To the Field of Stars” revolves around the pilgrim city of Santiago di Compostela (”field of stars”). The lyrics stem from a variety of eras and locations, penned by poets such as Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman as William Cowper. This piece was commissioned for choir, cello and percussion, and this is the first recording released.

The other two pieces on this CD feature lyrics by the 1913 Nobel Prize laureate in literature, Rabindranath Tagore.  The composer Hans Schanderl was inspired by the German version of Gitanjali No. 12 in the ostinato-like “Pilgrimage”, taking us on a spiritual voyage that ends with the declaration “I am” – “Ich bin”.

The final track is Enrico Miaroma’s “Farewell”, with lyrics from Gitanjali No. 93. “ I am ready for my departure. I leave you the keys to my house and thank you for your last kind words. We were neighbors for so long, but I received more than I could give.”

Rita Ora Brings the Red Carpet Home in a Floral Frock, Lace Tights & Glass Slippers

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, we may receive an affiliate commission.

Rita Ora went bigger and bolder than ever as she premiered her new film “Twist” last night.

Bringing the red carpet to her couch, the singer-turned-actress dressed up for the occasion in a couture yellow and black floral cape dress complete with a sheer overlay and cutout sleeves. The British native then dared to layer the already bold number over blue lace tights for a pop of contrasting color and texture.

When it came down to footwear, Ora tapped her next collection with ShoeDazzle to complete the look. The see-through pumps featured a clear pointed-toe design adorned with a glittering embellishment and a d’Orsay cutout. Contrasted by a nude heel counter, the shoes came set atop a lifted stiletto heel with a flared base to finish; flared heels are a trending silhouette amongst celebrity style as they offer a more solid step and balanced foundation.

Though the new silhouette has yet to debut, you can shop previous styles from the Rita Ora x ShoeDazzle line on the brand’s website.

Most recently, she was one of the few stars to attend Fendi’s in-person spring ’21 show during Milan Fashion Week.

And Ora’s experience with the footwear industry goes beyond chic street style. She has been a longtime Adidas partner and collaborated with Giuseppe Zanotti in January 2019 for an exclusive collection of shoes. In addition to her affordable ShoeDazzle collab, last year she also announced a partnership with German footwear retailer Deichmann.

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is further proof that vampire movies aren’t dead

I’ve probably lamented before that we live in a film culture (and really, a culture in general) where novelty is a commodity. We crave new ideas, new takes, seek out new angles like a geometry professor who wants to be famous, but realized too late that he picked the wrong field for that.

This is why when someone like me hears the phrase “Iranian vampire movie,” we make that little interested noise that normal people make when they hear “free booze” or “willing sexual partner.” And make no mistake, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is interesting, not really because it’s the first vampire movie to come out of Iran, but because it is in layman’s terms “holy moly hot dippity damn where have you been all my life GOOD.”

Sheila Vand stars as a mysterious unnamed vampire stalking the streets of an Iranian city who crosses paths with Arash, a wayward kid with a junkie dad and a penchant for dressing like James Dean. Really, it goes where you would expect, the two fall in love (or something approximating love) while Arash’s life crumbles, in part due to the girl herself. Really, the love story aspect of the thing is secondary to the interwoven arcs of Arash, the girl, and several other assorted lost souls.

So right off the bat, Girl Walks Home is pretty. This isn’t director Ana Lily Amirpour’s first rodeo, but it is her first feature, and damn can this woman shoot a scene. The camera glides around in smooth, beautiful long takes, never obtrusive but never idle.

The lighting, oh dear sweet lord, the lighting. The film is a symphony of light and shadow, with some achingly beautiful shots lit with such flair and precision that the shadows are basically a character in their own right.

It reminds me a lot of early Jarmusch, around the era of Stranger than Paradise or Down by Law, and not just because of the sexy black and white. There’s a poetry to the imagery in this film, this delicious quality that results in virtually every frame being a work of art in itself, and people are probably gonna be dissecting it for years. I wouldn’t be surprised if Tony Zhou were doing an Every Frame a Painting video on it in the near future, and he’s gonna have a lot to work with.

The cast is technically an ensemble, but really this is Sheila Vand’s show, and she owns every second of it. I don’t think I’ve seen another actor in recent memory who has such a flair for subtlety of expression. With just the oval of her face and the barest of eye, brow and mouth movements she can move from predatory hunger, sorrow, malevolence, and ecstasy.

She’s at once beguiling and alien, an outsider looking in. It’s a masterful performance, in every sense. The other actors all do terrific jobs, but the whole thing really hinged on Vand’s performance, and thankfully she blows it out of the water.

Another thing that reminded me of Jarmush is how important music is to the film. A Girl Walks Home has already gotten a lot of attention for its music, and deservedly so. The score is this wonderful fusion of gothic, spaghetti western and pop/rock.

A lot like the camera work, it’s flexible, soaring when it needs to into Morricone inspired horns and choirs, and other times mellowing out into thumping minimalist beats. And for all that variety, it always works. It never feels out of place or ill-fitting.

The hype around the film has really come from its cultural roots. People don’t bring this movie up as a cool vampire movie, but rather a cool Iranian vampire movie. I’m as guilty of this as anyone. But one of the things I like most is that the film itself doesn’t fully take part in this.

While the film wouldn’t function nearly as well if it were completely taken out of its cultural context, it doesn’t trade on its cultural origins. It doesn’t bank on exoticism, which would have easily led to it feeling exploitative or tacky.

It’s an Iranian film, yes, but it’s more concerned with being a horror film, a film about fathers and sons, about culture, about youth, about love. The film gained hype for being Iranian, but when you really watch it you realize that the novelty of its origins aren’t something the film is at all interested in capitalizing in.

And really, it’s deeply unfair to qualify this as an Iranian vampire movie. A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is a vampire movie, a fantastic one, one that is also Iranian.

Would the film function as well were it set somewhere else? No, probably not. There’s doubtlessly scads of subtext and allegory packed into this thing that I didn’t pick up on. But it functions magnificently whether you pick up on that or not.

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is playing at Cinema du Parc right now as of the time of this posting. If you’re a film buff, regardless of whether or not horror or genre films are your bag, you need to go and see this. This is fantastic, beautifully executed film making, rich with meaning and achingly, magnificently cool.

Paul Kane On Time Was

Paul KanePaul Kane (March 23, 1950 -)

Still, I must not forget that I once managed
to put these things into writing.

— Blanchot

When the high-pitched sounds of the August continuo
circulated like breezes through the immovable heat,
time was a single leaf drifting upwards, then down.
In the emptying out, the vacating of routine,
the laboring fullness came to pass, and became,
in passing, what went before and never came again:
the bellflower, blue against the lichened rock,
the sudden oriole in the cherry tree,
the offhand remark indelible in the mind.
In the morning within the morning, in the midnight
within the noon, word echoed within word—
while the mockingbird sang a palindrome of time.
Between the background of the body, and the fore-
shortened space of speech, we lived in the middle distance
where time was, and was not—where we are living still.

Posts Tagged ‘Olive Kitteridge

Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout, Random House, 2008, 286 pp.

Olive KittredgeOlive Kitteridge is not a novel in the traditional sense, nor is it simply a collection of short stories. It’s more like a series of highlights or video clips assembled in chronological order but not necessarily united by a single story arc. The single unifying presence is Olive Kitteridge, a woman large in physical presence and charismatic influence on whatever room she enters. She is not charming or adored–she is often feared, loathed, or avoided. Sometimes she is the center of the story–it is her story–but often she is only a minor character on the set, someone who simply helps advance the plot in some simple way.

Each of the thirteen stories is self-contained and stands on its own, beautifully written and intricate with details of the characters’ internal lives. Several of the stories feature her husband Henry or her son Christopher. Most of the stories, though, center on various people in the Maine town where they live. Strout picks up on the intimate back stories of the woman who plays piano in the bar, the cashier in the grocery store, the man who moved away and returned for a visit. Olive herself is a teacher, and Henry the town pharmacist.

For most of the stories, the character’s live and development is contained in the one short chapter focused on them. But Olive evolves throughout the book, as do our impressions of her. Christopher grows up, Henry ages–but only Olive matures and develops in ways that are deeper and richer as the various stories unfold through her and around her. I was surprised and touched by how my own perceptions of Olive evolved throughout the course of the book. I was cheering for her at the end.

Strout’s prose was beautiful from beginning to end, but there was one section I want to record, because it speaks to my professional life (and to a couple of the books I just reviewed here and here).

In fact, only a handful of the congregation goes to church regularly anymore. This saddens Henry, and worries him. They have been through two ministers in the last five years, neither one bringing much inspiration to the pulpit. The current fellow, a man with a beard, and who doesn’t wear a robe, Henry suspects won’t last long. He is young with a growing family, and will have to move on. What worries Henry about the paucity of the congregation is that perhaps others have felt what he increasingly tries to deny–that this weekly gathering provides no real sense of comfort. When they bow their heads or sing a hymn, there is no sense anymore–for Henry–that God’s presence is blessing them. (15)

I am looking forward to reading more from Elizabeth Strout. I struggled a bit to get into Olive Kitteridge, because I wanted to dive into a traditional novel instead of the separate stories. However, her beautiful prose and intricate characters kept me going. It was well worth it.

Best practices for reading and writing large Excel files in ASP.NET

I have been using Aspose.Cells for .NET for a while now, and it has been working great. I am now using version 7.2.0, the latest version at this time.

My questions concern recommended best practices for generating and sending large Excel files via ASP.NET (4.0, webforms). Especially where they may be 10 users requesting a large file almost simultaneously.

In hopes of best performance, this is what I am currently doing (high-level) in an ASP.NET 4.0 webforms application:
1. Using an xltx template with column headers and column formatting applied.
2. Retrieving data into custom object collections. The final workbook would contain 2-3 worksheets populated from each object collection, with 2 of the worksheets having up to 150,000-200,000 potential rows total across the sheets, and 40-44 columns (mostly text, one number, and several dates). The data is stored in the Cache to reduce database hits.
3. Using the custom object population method, specifying some of the import options.
4. Autofitting the columns (I know this takes RAM and time).
5. Saving the final workbook to the response stream.

1. Is using a template with pre-formatted columns a waste of time? Does the formatting occur again when the data gets populated? For columns that are definitely text-only (no “numbers” that should be text), should the formatting be turned off (left at General)?
2. Are custom object collections the fastest or best way to populate the worksheets? I’ve noticed they are pretty fast for the sample size I used (50K on one worksheet, 70K on second worksheet).
3. I’ve noticed that the biggest slowdown occurs when calling Workbook.Save, on the Response whether using .xlsx or .xslb (all end-users have Office 2007+). I’ve read in other posts that saving the file first, and then streaming it over http to the user, can be faster, but my own tests (limited) don’t show much of a difference. If using this latter technique, is it recommended to use a FileStream? I’d want to remove the files after download, as they become stale every day.

I am aware that importing data, auto-fitting, and applying styles all take up RAM, along with any type of Workbook.Save call.

Can you provide any recommendations or best practices for this scenario? Pre-generating the files might normally be an option, however, there would be at least 400 different possible Excel spreadsheets (of varying size, same columns)–which is why I’d like to only generate the ones actually requested by the end user.

Thank you, Jason

Thanks for your posting and using Aspose.Cells for .NET.

The quick way could be to import your data from databases/datatables into your worksheet instead of custom object. Please see this article.

Importing Data to Worksheets

Also, I think, it will be better if you first save your file and then transmit it later, because it will free up the memory resources that the workbook object could take.

Also, if you can pregenerate anything or few things, it will definitely speed up the performance.

I have logged your questions in our database. Development team will look into it and then give you further advice.

This issue has been logged as CELLSNET-40613.

Thanks for considering Aspose APIs.

Please use LightCells or MemorySetting.MemoryPreference mode to reduce memory.

Unhappy files from download as mp4/BS Player files and not as .gif files

I'm trying to download gif files from to use on my website.

I select a gif, for example:

When I try to download it as "small" or even as "social", the file opens in a new window. I then right-click on the gif and a menu opens up where I can only "save video as" and save it as a mp4 file (bs player file). No other options are available.

I obviously don't want to download it as a BS Player file, but as a .gif file, and with a small format to avoid weighing down my page.

I am however able to download the file as a .gif if I just right click it from the search page. Problem is, the file is too heavy then and even running it through compressio doesn't yield good enough results.

I've also tried to embed the file on my site: it becomes a giant-sized mp4 that looks awful.

I'm using Firefox and Windows 10. I've already changed the default app for gifs on my computer to Photos, instead of BS Player.

To sum it up: how can I download a file from as a relatively light .gif file to be used on a website.

I would really appreciate your suggestions, as this is driving me nuts right now.
Thanks and have a good day

Carradice Top Tube Bag

Post by GeekDadZoid »

I had a search for this before I bought it but couldn't find anything but a passing mention to this so though I would post my thoughts.

I have been looking at a simple way of adding some storage to my road bike without over loading it too much and to compliment my saddle bag which carrys my tube and tools. My pump is frame mounted but I struggle with where to put my phone and keys etc, I don't wear cycling specific clothing all the time and even when I do I don't really like the back pockets.

So I was drawn towards tube bag that way slim enough to be unobtrusive but big enough for a big phone, keys, probably some food wallets if needed. Many of the Chinese brands seem to have poor straps which don't look like they would stay still without modification. Topeka had a few options but I thought I would look a little closer to home.

Both Mac Workshop and Carradice do very similar models But Carradice won on it being a tiny bit bigger and a a fair bit cheaper.

The bag arrived the other day and I have managed to go out on a couple of rides with it and I am very impressed so far, Sue did a great job.

The base and both straps are lined with recycled innertube which help stabilise the bag against the frame, this makes for solid fit. Size wise you can fit a fairly large phone in and lots of other bits and bobs, you could probably use it to fit a small mini pump in too if that was your requirements. Today I went for quite a fast ride and it did not move at all and the internal sections kept my keys and phone separate.

Finish and quality is exactly what I had hoped for from Carradice and I am very pleased.

Points to note
If you have a "Slammed" stem then you are not going to able to fit this in the standard configuration.
It is not waterproof but water resistant as I understand it, not an issue for me but something to be aware of.

Adding colour to grassy bank

I've got a steep grassy bank at one side of my my drive, which is covered in a hardy grass (not sure what, about 15-20cm high).  I am really keen to get a bit of colour in there (love the idea of wild/meadow flowers). There is now way I can dig clear the area of all the grass, so I need something I can scatter/sow/plant, which will add colour and compete with the established hardy grass. Any ideas?

  • nutcutletnutcutlet PeterboroughPosts: 26,160

    Is it the sort of grass you cut back novice or is it just left to look after itself?

  • I haven't cut it back, it's just left to look after itself. I'll try and post a photo if that helps. I'm down in Cornwall too, so climate is mild and it south facing so gets the sun for most of the day.

  • nutcutletnutcutlet PeterboroughPosts: 26,160

    Yes, good idea, do a photo

  • image

  • nutcutletnutcutlet PeterboroughPosts: 26,160

    I think you'll have to find away of cutting it if it's going to look good.

    If it were mine I'd clear a bit at a time and plant up with something tough, lesser knapweed or dog daisies maybe and some cowslips. But everything in gardening needs attention. Wildflower meadows need cutting back at least yearly or they disintegrate into a mess. You could weaken the grass by sowing yellow rattle into it in the autumn.

  • WelshonionWelshonion Posts: 3,114

    Foxgloves, aqualegia, hardy geraniums, primroses, native bluebells, ferns, honesty, Queen Anne's lace; all the things you find in road-side verges/banks. You will need to strim/brushcut once a year. Cut later rather than earlier then the plants have time to seed.

  • Thank you for the advice.

  • Orchid LadyOrchid Lady Posts: 5,800

    I have a flat but high border of grass at the front of my house.  It only gets sun in the morning.  I am going to sow some of the many poppy seeds I have in it and also some Cornflowers, other Cornflowers seem to survive down the lane where I live so I hope that will work.  I can't really give advice as I'm not knowledgeable enough but will enjoy reading the answers for more ideas for me too image

Discussion in 'Seasoned Marijuana Users' started by griff78, Feb 20, 2009.

  1. Hello people, I've just stumbled across this site & it looks pretty legit. I stumbled across it because I was trying to find somewhere to buy online. Years ago an old friend told me of a site (which I think was endorsed by the hip hop artist Tricky) that you could actually buy from, apparantly you'd buy some crappy plastic statue & they'd send you the good stuff.
    Anyway, I cant find this site anywhere & I'm getting really bored of spending a fortune on weak, wet rubbish. There must be somewhere online right? Am I living in a dreamworld or does anyone know of such a place?! Help much appreciated.
    ps I live in the UK
  2. are you talking about bud or paraphenalia?
  3. def talking about bud, its pretty well spelt out in there... i think? hahaha :bongin:
  4. Either way, ummmm try it if you want. It's your money and your life.
  5. ha ha yeah I was on about bud.
    no ones heard of Trickys site then?
  6. or another site, (reputable of course!)
  7. Yea kidding) No I don't think there are any sites with that. There are very good online seed banks with amazing reputations but something tells me you aren't looking to travel that avenue.
  8. There are websites like that around; The only problem is seeding (no pun intended) the good ones from the bad ones. There are obviously people out there who are willing to exploit you so be careful.

  • How often do you see your pain dr

    those who go to pain clinics how often do you go, and how long are you there..

    I have a 18 mos old that I have no one to care for during the day.. so I was curious if this was something I can bring him with

    I make an appointment with my pain dr. when I feel that a flare is coming on or for monthly check ups after a nerve block. Then I may go for several months without needing him. I just saw him yesterday and we basically just talk. I explain my pain - where, how often, severity etc. I would think it would be o.k. to take your baby but the best thing to do is ask the nurse or receptionist. I know when I go to my uro I'm usually having an instill and it would be difficult to have a young child while getting treatment. But for pain consultations without a scheduled procedure you should be O.K. Good luck with your pain dr. Is this your first visit?

    Rachel hi

      Thanks Rachel...

      I actually don't have anything scheduled yet. I am still in the process of trying to locate a dr in NJ who is 1 in my plan... and two has heard of IC.. so far none of them have heard of IC.. pretty sad isn't it

Ok so shes trying to get this new business together. She wants to have a coffee shop bookstore with an urban/latino theme here in kansas city. She has been working hard on trying to find a place for it, and a name and some good imports. My mom always has the greatest ideas because she has a big imagination! So im really excited about this. She not only wants the coffee shop bookstore but shes also plannning on having a chain of businesses with maybe just a company name. One of those businesses that she is wanting is a clothing line for me. She wants me to be able to be a part of her business. So here is where you guys come in.

This is going to be great! have fun with this ladies... and gents!!

    Lots of Hugs to all!!

Amcrest IP2M-841 Stopped Working Through Portal

  • My two Amcrest IP2M-841 cameras stopped working on my Echo Shows through the Gateway portal after the power was out at our home for three days. The Amcrest cameras work fine otherwise and my Dlink cameras continue to work with the Echo Shows through the gateway. I wonder if either Amcrest or my Echo Shows have had an update to create incompatibility. Does anyone else have Amcrest working currently with the Echo Show? If so, I have some trouble shooting to do!

  • @jhagan
    I have the amcrest 841 and it works without the portal

  • Thank you. It turns out I needed to close and then restart my monocle gateway. Both Amcrest cameras are working, but they require the @tunnel tag to work with my Show and Spot.

  • @jhagan

    Glad you got it working!

    Another user mentioned some trouble with the gateway about the same time. Maybe there was some hiccup with the server or potentially some outage causing the trouble. It should have reconnected automatically, but not sure what exactly happened. If it happens again, please make a copy of the log data and forward that along.

    PS. The Monocle Gateway is needed for the Echo Show 5 but not the other Echo Show models. The gateway is also required for call current FireTVs.

  • Thanks for the clarification about the gateway.

Hello All!
I live in the wonderful landlocked hi-desert of Southern Idaho. I have developed a fascination with the idea of expedition racing. I have very little experience sailing, just one summer in my little Lug sail Dory. I know I would be foolish to attempt anything like the R2AK right now. But folks who climb Mt. Everest start with no knowledge. And with time and training they climb. For now I intend to lurk on this page and a few others. Asking question as I think of them. Maybe in 3 or 4 years I will feel capable of the attempt!

Glad to meet everyone!

<multimedia:image>.setImageData question
Hello Vizard Support,

I had a question when using .setImageData().
I'm working on an updated volume renderer and I'm trying to populate a 3D texture ( btw, thank you for helping me with that months ago ) but instead of using the .load() method with a file name I wish to fill the 3D texture with images that have already been loaded into Vizard.

Specifically, I'm trying to do something like this:

def loadBlank3DTexture( blank3DTex, imageList ):
        Fill 3D texture with provided list of images in sequential order
        for i, image in enumerate( imageList ):
                imageSize = image.getSize()
                print i, image
                blank3DTex.setImageData( image.getImageData(), imageSize, blank3DTex.getPixelFormat(), i )

I originally was testing with 3 png images that were only all red, green, or blue each. I noticed only the blue images seemed to load.

Then I tested with images with differing RGB values to see if a specific channel was being shown and I noticed only the blue channel was being displayed. Obviously, there is something I am not understanding about the setImageData method. I seem to only be passing the blue channel.

Any thoughts?

EZA Fantasy Football (NFL) 2016: Final Update! That's a Wrap! (Dec. 30)

  • alt text

    For those of you who can't log in, here's an update!

  • Been a good day so far. Some good early games. Bengals/jets Packers/Jags

  • I think @kylebosman has more points on his bench than on the field :D

  • Peterson netted me 3 points. Clearly showing his 1st round pick worth. However I'm somehow not completely dead yet!

  • @TMcNeil21 saints and raiders was great also. The ballsy 2 point conversion call!

  • Global Moderator

    Great first week even if I lost

  • I think Kyle is gonna come out with this one but at least Jimmy G is looking good so far! Pats defense also looking like a top contender this year.

  • I'm pretty sure I'm going to win this week. It's always possible that Carlos Hyde and Antonio Brown combine for negative 20 points on Monday. I think it's unlikely though.

  • @ablank2 If it makes you feel any better, Dez Bryant earned me 0.8 points and was my first round pick. Fitzgerald made everything okay though.

  • @SabotageTheTruth Oh did he ever. Huge game for Fitz. Well played.

  • Not a good week for the Accents

  • alt text alt text
    Seattle, WA (AP) - When asked if they regret running up the score in the post-game press conference, GM Slim laughed maniacally and twirled his mustache impressively. "No. No way! You let your foot off the gas and that's how people end up getting hurt or you lose to a team you were supposed to beat because you didn't take them seriously." He said, his arms extended in front of him, fingers splayed - casting a Nosferatu-like shadow on the wall behind the podium. "Anyone that plays us is going to get our best shot, that's how I expect this thing to run." He then pressed a hidden button on the interview podium, dropping a large net over the gathered journalists, causing chaos, confusion, and panic to break out among the assembled scriveners. He then cackled insanely as he dashed away to a waiting black muscle car with illegally dark tinted windows, which peeled out obnoxiously as he made a totally unnecessary getaway.

  • My bench also scored 70 points.

  • @TokyoSlim I knew our league needed a villain, but I honestly expected Bosman to fill that role.

  • @SabotageTheTruth I'm just as shocked as you are. In this day and age, a respectable newspaper like the City Examiner publishing that sensationalist tripe!

    I was nowhere near a football game this weekend. I was... on an Island Vacation! Yeah, that's it.

  • @TokyoSlim That is a giant score man, dear lord.

  • @TheHashtag0nist It was a pretty good week. I think we can do better though. This was like 98% effort, but everyone knows It's all about giving 110%.

  • Week 2 Update! (also in OP)

    Love and Respect, everyone! Week 1 has come and gone and there were some great games of Football on Sunday! And Let's not forget about those high stakes fantasy matchups! Some of you took your first step towards a championship! Others, however, know the bitter taste of defeat. But there are still 12 more weeks until the playoffs. 12 more weeks to build your dream team, to right your wrongs, or to pull away from the pack! Fantasy is won and lost on the waiver, and there's plenty of time to set up some back door shady trades. So try not to get to disappointed in your team's week 1 performance, and if all else fails just remember that you couldn't have done as bad as me!

    So for those of you following along let's update you on Week 1's happenings.

    • The Wilder Things showed no mercy to the Boston Accents with in a 88.5 to 58.7 victory
    • Some Kind of Super Team lived up to it's name and defeated the Waifu Warriors 101.9 to 83
    • The Interbay City Rollers rolled on to an easy victory over Team Must Be Nice with a score of 155.5 to 89.4, making them the highest scoring team of the week. Must be nice...
    • Team 7.8 unexpectedly disappointed us by only scoring 7(5).8 points against a Transylvania Werehogs team that put up 108.2
    • The Original Snitches won a close one against Persona 5 GOTY EVERY EYAR by a score of 98.6 to 91
    • The Rufus Rhinos played a sweet sax solo all the way to an easy victory over the Ottawa Hashcats with a final score of 142.5 to 96.8

    Leaving us with the current standings

    alt text

    Those of you who are following along at home but are not in the league will be happy to know that the league is now viable to the public, so you no longer have to rely on my weekly updates! But I will still be posting a weekly update every Wednesday during the season!

    Here are you week 2 matches!
