Photo: Jeff MinAfter releasing The Headphone Masterpiece Cody Chesnutt decided that in order to prevent himself from spiraling completely out of control he needed to put that album – and the lifestyle that went along with it – behind him for good, a decision that would eliminate it from his live sets altogether.

So when someone from the crowd yelled “Look Good in Leather” it wasn’t a surprise that he responded with “Yeah, I did – back in 2002.” It set the tone for his performance at Martyrs’, and created a platform to showcase his newest album Landing on a Hundred. He opened with “Till I Met Thee” – a gospel-infused groover detailing his growth from sinful vagabond to settled saint: [LISTEN]

I was a dead man
I was asleep
Lord knows I was, I was a stranger in, in a foreign land
Oh, oh ’til I met thee

Photo: Jeff MinThe crowd took to the reformed Cody immediately, the evolution not thieving from his live performance at all. He was a jovial preacher on stage, gallivanting across like the prodigal son delivering his testimonial. He leapt in the air with joy, embraced the crowd with warm handshakes and crooned to the sky as if he was speaking to God himself.

The impromptu call-and-response of “downtown,” at the tail end of the Marvin Gaye-inspired “What Kind of Cool Will We Think of Next,” embodied his willingness to share his experiences: [LISTEN]

Know how to walk, know how to ride
Know how to stay fly, know how this time’s burning
But what we don’t know is that ain’t gonna be enough

His backing band, though, was a bit of a hindrance throughout. They overdid it at times, drowning Cody out when they should have backed off and let him do what he does best. It was hard to grasp the harsh reality behind his lyrics. Especially when the band was as overindulgent as they were. Sure Cody’s in a blissful state, but it still shouldn’t translate to a sugarcoated version of “Everybody’s Brother:” [LISTEN]

I used to smoke crack back in the day
I used to gamble with money and lose
I used to dog the nice ladies, used to swindle friends
But now I’m teaching kids in Sunday school

Cody kept the energy up for the entire show. He exalted Chicago between each song and made sure everyone within earshot was in his good grace. He also took time to explain how his wife was a key figure in his reform, which gave a song like “Love is More Than a Wedding Day” particular meaning: [LISTEN]

Love is more than a wedding day
You can’t walk away when it gets a little heavy now
I pray, Lord knows I pray
You don’t walk away when it gets a little heavy now

By the end Cody had performed himself to the point of exhaustion. It left a glow atop of Martyrs’. But even after a riveting performance it still seemed like the old Cody was lingering around somewhere – brewing underneath the surface like a devil in waiting. But even if he did have the urge to indulge in that lifestyle again he certainly didn’t have time to act upon it – he was too busy after the show, greeting fans with genuine gratitude and deep, heartfelt appreciation.

5 Foods for a Healthy Microbiota

11 May, 2016 ,

More and more people are talking about microbiota and its role in our health. Microbiota is pretty much the same as the intestinal flora we’re already familiar with. It’s simply a new term to better describe the array of micro-organisms that live in the digestive system.

Several factors can affect the health of your intestinal flora, notably what you eat, but also your levels of stress, any antibiotics you take, your lifestyle habits, etc. It’s well known that an imbalance in the intestinal flora has a negative impact on general wellbeing, you just need to think of the diarrhea usually associated with taking antibiotics. The microbiota is, among other things, responsible for the synthesis of some of the vitamins we need in order to live. It also helps reinforce our immune system and protect us from infections.

Here are 5 foods for healthy microbiota:

1. Onions and co.

vegetables, legumes

Foods from the alliaceous family are prebiotics, that means they feed the intestinal flora. That’s why so many people experience discomforts after eating them, it’s working hard in there!

Some examples of alliaceous foods: onions (yellow, red, white, green…), garlic, shallots (scallion) and leeks.

A few recipes:

The Senate bans dog fights in Mexico!

Victory reached on Mar 15, 2017
The Senate bans dog fights in Mexico!

The Senate approved a reform to ban dogfighting, which establishes principles for respectful treatment of animals.

It provides that the governments of Mexico City, the states, federal and municipal, "within the scope of their respective jurisdiction, will establish a ban on organizing, inducing or provoking dog fights."

Thanks to the politicians who have heard the demand of the whole society. I would also like to thank all those who have supported me by signing this petition so that the animals have a dignified life.

Tell your friends!

Original petition

Stop Animal Abuse in Special Dog Fighting and Those Responsible Must Be Punished

Petition created on Jul 11, 2016

Addressed to President of Mexico Enrique Pena Nieto

Because those who have fighting dogs threaten people. How many accidents have happened where dogs have bitten adults and have even taken the lives of children? For this it is necessary that dog fighting is prohibited.

Dogs can be tamed when they are small, but those who buy them with the intention of making them bravos to profit from them in dog fighting and fatten their pockets must be punished by Law. It is not right to raise an animal to be violent with others animals and even people, that is animal cruelty too.

That's why we need the Government of Mexico prohibits dog fighting, and harshly condemn those responsible for organize fights and raise murderers dogs.

Millions of OLEDs - Little OLEDs

While everyone is chomping at the bit waiting for some big-screen OLED displays, Toshiba and Matsushita's joint display group is making news at the other end of the spectrum. Their new factory, Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology Co. is set to produce as many as one million OLED panels per month beginning in the fall of 2009. How big are these displays?

2.5-inch.  Yup. Millions of itty-bitty displays.  Where, oh where could all those little panels be going?

Rumors are flying, and who doesn't love a juicy rumor? Leaked information says the panels could be used in mobile phones and navigation systems, but we love to speculate.

Overview_hero20070905 If an iPod had an OLED display, it would use less power (OLEDs don't need backlighting) and have better color resolution. Who doesn't want that? The size is a perfect match for the iPod classic, so it's not a stretch.

Of course, they could just be for a cellphone or car stereo, but we just love trying to guess the future. -Leslie Shapiro

Matt Ridley, coal baron and climate denier

This article is part of the Coal Issues portal on SourceWatch, a project of CoalSwarm and the Center for Media and Democracy. See here for help on adding material to CoalSwarm.

This article is part of the CoalSwarm coverage of Coal barons

Learn more from the Center for Media and Democracy's research on climate change.

Matt Ridley aka Viscount Ridley is a coal baron, science writer and AGW denier (lukewarmer variety) on the Academic Advisory Council of the denialist Global Warming Policy Foundation. Ridley is a landed aristocrat who earns an estimated £4.1 million each year from opencast coal mines on his Blagdon Estate with income guaranteed until 2020. He is also a Conservative member of the House of Lords. Ridley was chairman of the UK bank Northern Rock from 2004 to 2007, during which period Northern Rock experienced the first run on a British bank in 150 years. Ridley chose to resign, and the bank was bailed out by the UK government leading to the nationalisation of Northern Rock.

General Information

Matt Ridley is an English science writer, journalist and businessman. He was born in England in 1958. Ridley is best known for his books, which mainly focus on evolution and genetics, but he has also written for numerous (mostly conservative) newspapers. In 1983 he joined the Economist as science correspondent and became American editor in 1992.

Ridley studied zoology at Oxford University, completing a zoology doctorate in 1983.

He holds a directorship at Northern Investors (1994-present). Ridley is former chairman of Northern Rock Plc (2004-2007) and Northern 2 Venture (1999-present).

In 2013 he was elected as hereditary peer in the House of Lords as a member of the UK Conservative Party.[1]

AGW denial

Ridley has no expertise or training in climate science.

A speech Ridley gave in 2011 was textbook "Gish Gallop" (a debating technique in which a rapid-fire presentation of arguments, and changing topics very quickly, drowns opponents in such a torrent of small points of contention that they cannot possibly answer or address each one in real time) full of false claims, logical fallacies, and trivially true but irrelevant facts. It was "skeptic bingo", showing Ridley as "a techno-optimist of the Lomborgian mold".[2] The speech was riddled with inconsistencies and errors, such as claiming the climate changed rapidly in the past, but asserting that climate sensitivity is very small. He also flubbed basic concepts, such as mixing up equilibrium sensitivity and transient sensitivity.[2]

Matt Ridley has argued for a "lukewarm" view of climate change and against renewable energy policies that he considers damaging to the economy as well as the environment. In a report for a denier organization called the Global Warming Policy Foundation in 2013 he wrote:

I have come to the conclusion that current energy and climate policy is probably more dangerous, both economically and ecologically, than climate change itself. This is not the same as arguing that climate has not changed or that mankind is not partly responsible. That the climate has changed because of man-made carbon dioxide I fully accept. What I do not accept is that the change is or will be damaging, or that current policy would prevent it.[3]

Ridley claims that climate change has done more good than harm so far and is likely to continue doing so for most of this century.[4] He stated:

There are many likely effects of climate change: positive and negative, economic and ecological, humanitarian and financial. And if you aggregate them all, the overall effect is positive today — and likely to stay positive until around 2080.[5]

In 2006 Ridley wrote a response to the question "What's your dangerous idea?" entitled "Government is the problem not the solution",[6] in which he described his attitude to government regulation:

In every age and at every time there have been people who say we need more regulation, more government. Sometimes, they say we need it to protect exchange from corruption, to set the standards and police the rules, in which case they have a point, though often they exaggerate it... The dangerous idea we all need to learn is that the more we limit the growth of government, the better off we will all be.

In 2007 the environmentalist George Monbiot wrote an article in The Guardian connecting Ridley's libertarian economic philosophy and the £27 billion failure of Northern Rock.[7] On 1 June 2010 Monbiot followed up his previous article in the context of Matt Ridley's book The Rational Optimist, which had just been published. Monbiot showed that Ridley had failed to learn from the collapse of Northern Rock.[8][9]

In November 2010, the Wall Street Journal published a lengthy exchange between Ridley and the Microsoft founder Bill Gates on topics discussed in Ridley's book The Rational Optimist.[10][11] Gates said that "What Mr. Ridley fails to see is that worrying about the worst case—being pessimistic, to a degree—can actually help to drive a solution".

On anthropogenic climate change in 2014, a Ridley Wall Street Journal op-ed was sharply challenged by Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University's Earth Institute. Sachs termed "absurd" Ridley's characterization of a paper in Science magazine by two scientists Xianyao Chen and Ka-Kit Tung. Sachs cited the data in the article to rebut Ridley's contentions.[12][13]

Ridley sits on the advisory councils of the British lobby groups Sense About Science and Reform.

He is also on the Academic Advisory Council of the denialist Global Warming Policy Foundation[14]

Coal Baron

The White-Ridley family has owned the stunning Blagdon Estate in Northumbria since 1700, and for centuries mined coal and fireclay to amass a considerable fortune while fuelling the Industrial Revolution and British Empire. It has been estimated that open cast coal mining on this estate earns Ridley £4.1 million annually.[15]

Northern Rock bank failure

The failure of Northern Rock was the first run on a British Bank since 1878. Under his chairmanship, the bank pursued what the Treasury select committee later described as a "high-risk, reckless business strategy".[16] MPs identified the directors of Northern Rock as "the principal authors of the difficulties that the company has faced". They singled Ridley out for having failed "to provide against the risks that [Northern Rock] was taking and to act as an effective restraining force on the strategy of the executive members".[17]

Me, Meet the Old Me

Monday, December 03, 2012

There are definitely moments when I look at myself and feel I have not made much progress. Today, in one of those moments, I decided to put those negative thoughts to the test.

I pulled out a photo from earlier this week and initially I started nitpicking my current photo apart, wishing away the budges in my stomach, wondering why exercise had not made that part of my body thin and lean, wondering why my arms were so large after having worked so hard for so long- you know the drill.

But then, I took my current photo and "introduced" it to my "before" photo. Man, what a nice surprise. Seeing these two people together was like seeing two DIFFERENT people, and suddenly I became very proud of the me that I am now.

The effort really has paid off and today I was able to take a step back and appreciate this.

I look forward to introducing my future self to my current self so that she can congratulate this girl on how much work she's done. We're never going back to the "before" person again!

Speaking clock Information

In general usage today a "clock" refers to any device for measuring and displaying the time
Watches and other timepieces that can be carried on one's person are often distinguished from clocks.
Clock at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich
Replica of an ancient Chinese incense clock
The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to consistently measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units: the day; the lunar month; and the year
Devices operating on several different physical processes have been used over the millennia, culminating in the clocks of today.
Sundials and other devices
The sundial, which measures the time of day by using the sun, was widely used in ancient times
A well-constructed sundial can measure local solar time with reasonable accuracy, and sundials continued to be used to monitor the performance of clocks until the modern era
However, its practical limitations - it requires the sun to shine and does not work at all during the night - encouraged the use of other techniques for measuring time.
Candle clocks, and sticks of incense that burn down at approximately predictable speeds have also been used to estimate the passing of time
In an hourglass, fine sand pours through a tiny hole at a constant rate and indicates a predetermined passage of an arbitrary period of time.
A scale model of Su Song's Astronomical Clock Tower, built in 11th century Kaifeng, China
It was driven by a large waterwheel, chain drive, and escapement mechanism.
Water clocks, also known as clepsydrae (sg: clepsydra), along with the sundials, are possibly the oldest time-measuring instruments, with the only exceptions being the vertical gnomon and the day-counting tally stick
Given their great antiquity, where and when they first existed are not known and perhaps unknowable
The bowl-shaped outflow is the simplest form of a water clock and is known to have existed in Babylon and in Egypt around the 16th century BC
Other regions of the world, including India and China, also have early evidence of water clocks, but the earliest dates are less certain
Some authors, however, write about water clocks appearing as early as 4000 BC in these regions of the world.
Greek astronomer, Andronicus of Cyrrhus, supervised the construction of the Tower of the Winds in Athens in the 1st century B.C.

Stream Eagulls’ Relentless ‘Tough Luck’ From Self-Titled 2014 Debut

Leeds-based five-piece eye March release date for first LP

U.K. post-punks Eagulls have set a date of arrival for their self-titled debut album. The 10-track effort will land on March 4, 2014 via Partisan Records, which confirmed the news on November 13. To make up for the long lead time, Eagulls have shared the first proper single from their upcoming full-length (LP opener “Nerve Endings” was already let loose as a one-off with a Killing Joke cover). Premiered on Stereogum, “Tough Luck” files somewhere neatly between fellow British bruisers Savages and Denmark’s punishing Iceage. Delve into the quintet’s gloomy realm — where the mood remains overcast, the guitar lines stay taut, and the drums continuously crater — by streaming “Tough Luck” below.

Scroll down for the track list and cover art to Eagulls, and head over to iTunes to pre-order the record.

Eagulls track list:

1. “Nerve Endings”
2. “Hollow Visions”
3. “Yellow Eyes”
4. “Tough Luck”
5. “Amber Veins”
6. “Possessed”
7. “Footsteps”
8. “Fester / Blister”
9. “Opaque”
10. “Soulless Youth”

Schizophrenia: 2,000 Brain Scans Reveal Vital Structural Differences

Schizophrenia: 2,000 Brain Scans Reveal Vital Structural Differences post image

The brains of 2,028 people with schizophrenia were compared to healthy controls.

People with schizophrenia have smaller volumes in critical areas of the brain, a new study finds.

The research supports the idea that schizophrenia can be linked to disturbed brain development.

The areas affected include the hippocampus, which is involved in the formation of long-term memories.

Along with a smaller hippocampus, the amygdala and thalamus were also smaller in those with schizophrenia.

The amygdala processes emotion, while the thalamus regulates consciousness, sleep and alertness, amongst other functions.

The research compared brain scans of 2,028 people with schizophrenia with 2,540 healthy controls.

Professor Jessica Turner, who co-led the study, explained where their data came from:

“This is the largest structural brain meta-analysis to date in schizophrenia, and specifically, it is not a meta-analysis pulled only from the literature.

Investigators dug into their desk drawers, including unpublished data to participate in these analyses.

Everyone performed the same analyses using the same statistical models, and we combined the results.

We then identified brain regions that differentiated patients from controls and ranked them according to their effect sizes.”

Professor Turner continued:

“There’s the increased possibility, not just because of the massive datasets, but also because of the collaborative brain power being applied here from around the world, that we will find something real and reliable that will change how we think about these disorders and what we can do about them.”

The study was published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry (van Erp et al., 2015).

SQL MCM Training – Day 3

Nothing to say about today, Jonathan did really a great job describing Extended Events and Baselining/Benchmarking to us, and his boss – Paul – did a quick really great overview of Resource Governor. I've done a lot in these areas in the past, so that was a more easy one to me than yesterday J. Here are my study notes for today.

Module 7: Extended Events

  • SQL Trace will be replaced by Extended Events some time
  • SQL Denali CTP3 has more than 500 Extended Events
  • Event Sessions with events with no targets are possible
  • Event Sessions with targets and no events are possible
  • The Event Engine has no idea of Extended Events
    • It only provides an operational environment
  • Event Sessions have memory buffers attached
  • Dispatcher Pool is a worker pool
  • Package is a container about events with metadata
  • package0 is a container about generic things like targets
  • Any event can work with any action with any taraget from any packet
  • ETW (Event Tracing for Windows)
    • Gets information from the Windows Kernel
    • ETW & Extended Events are integrated to each other
  • Fastest first false value should be placed in the first place in a predicate
    • Support for short circuit evaluation
    • First false evaluation prevents events from firing
  • You can bind to Global State Data through Actions
    • Like SPID
  • Predicates can store state
    • You want only to process a event when it is fired the 5th time
  • Actions are accessing Global State Data
  • Actions are executed after a predicate is evaluated
    • When an event will not be fired, the action will be not executed
  • Actions are executed synchronously
    • Can impact performance!
  • By default the Ring Buffer Target uses 4 MB
    • ring_buffer target (DMV) can only return 2 MB, therefore mailformed XML can be returned
    • Limit therefore the Ring Buffer Target to 2 MB
  • Denali only provides an asynchronous Bucketizer
    • Synchronous should not be used anymore in SQL Server 2008 (R2)
  • Event Counter Target can be used to check how often an event is fired
    • For planning more specific Event Sessions
    • With that information you can also redefine your predicates to reduce the events needed to process
  • Event Pairing Target is used to match events
    • Bad example from BOL: Lock Acquired and Lock Released
      • Because of Lock Escalation, Lock Released is not fired anymore
    • Can be used for finding orphant transactions
  • Predicates are working on map keys, and not map values
  • Whitepaper "Using SQL Server 2008 Extended Events" by Jonathan Kehayias
  • Shred XML data in a table and then do analysis from the table
    • It's much faster
  • Event Sessions are isolated from each other
  • It takes 2 microseconds to fire an event, everything else is done asynchronously
  • Dispatch of async targets occurs under 2 conditions
    • The memory buffer becomes full
    • Dispatch Latency exceeds
  • sys.dm_xe_packages.capabilities is a bitmap mask
  • Extended Events uses Multi Page Allocations outside of the Buffer Pool
    • On x32 this is VAS address space
    • This can lead to allocation problems
  • Metadata file in depricated in Denali (Async File Target)
  • greater_than_max_float64
  • less_than_min_float64
  • NETWORK_IO = ASYNC_NETWORK_IO in sys.dm_os_wait_stats
  • MSSQL\Install.u_tables.sql
    • Contains the System Health Event Session
  • Events can't be changed
    • They must be dropped from the Event Sessions and added with the changed definition
  • Actions are executed syncronously
  • Causality tracking should be used for event correlation
    • Don't add actions for event correlation
  • Memory Dumps are placed into the LOG folder
  • Event Sesions can be automatically started when SQL Server is started
  • asynchronous_file_target can be read outside of SQL Server in SQL Server Denai CTP3
  • There can be only one ETW session on the entire Windows Server
  • Troubleshooting Recompiles with Extended Events
    • In the first step trace the Recompiles on the server level
    • In the second step trace the Recompiles in the database, where the recompiles were highest
    • Use the Bucketizer Target for that
  • sys.dm_xe_session_targets is the Ring Buffer target
  • Parameter Sniffing can be troubleshooted through Extended Events
    • use greater_than_max_int64
    • Events gets only captured when the stored procedure execution get's slower
      • When a "bad" parameter value was provided

Module 8: Resource Governor

  • Enterprise Edition only!
  • Can be used to limit MAXDOP on a more granular level
    • Workload Group MAXDOP 4, Server MAXDOP 1
      • You can do control MAXDOP through Query Hints from 1 to 4
      • But you can't do anything more than MAXDOP > 4 through a query hint, because the workload group throtted it down to a maximum MAXDOP 4
  • Resource Governor will override the MAXDOP query hint
    • Query hint
  • It governs per scheduler
  • Resource Governor can't limit existing connections
  • Connections can't be migrated between workload groups
    • Connection must be reset, or disconnect/reconnect
  • I/O, TempDb can't be controlled through Resource Governor
  • You can limit the number of active connections to a workload group/database
  • CPU/IO affinity masks are depricated in Denali
  • Throtteling is only done when there is contention
    • Otherwise CPU limit are ignored
  • The internal pool can be changed
    • The classifier function and login triggers are running in the internal pool
  • Classifier function must return a SYSNAME
    • It can't be a SQLCLR function, it must be a T-SQL function
    • But you can call a SQLCLR inside the T-SQL function
  • CPU for Backup Compression can be limited through Resource Governor
  • Perfmon Counters
    • SQLServer:Resource Pool Stats
    • SQLServer:Workload Group Stats
  • You can't tell if a specific query was throttled
  • Connections are grouped into workload groups/buckets
  • Whitepaper on Resource Governor:
  • Parallel Index Rebuilds/Parallel DBCC CHECKDBs are Enterprise Edition only!
  • You can only have up to 20 resource pools, 18 user defined
    • But the max doesn't really make sense
    • Limits the number of concurrent connections (0: unlimited connections)
    • Configured on the workload group
    • Perfmon Counters
      • Workload Group Stats: Active Requests
      • Workload Group Stats: Queued Requests
  • Extended Events have a resource pool id as action
  • Only for one SQL Server Instance!
    • Governing across SQL Server Instances doesn't work

Module 9: Baselining & Benchmarking

  • Memory Ballooned
    • Because of Balloon drivers
  • Ring Buffer provides the CPU time in sqlservr.exe
  • Memory pressure problems in the Buffer Pool
    • Low PLE
    • Low or no Free Pages
    • High Lazy Writes/sec
    • High Fee List Stalls/sec
  • SQL Load Generator:
  • SQL Trace
    • The traces itself filter out unrelevant events
    • That's a big difference to Extended Events, where events are not fired, if they are not needed
    • When an event is registered inside the system, it is send to EVERY trace, and the trace itself has to filter out, if it is interested in the event, or not
  • SQL Alerts can be used to automatically start a perfmon trace through logman.exe or to start a SQL Trace

Books: river secrets

  • Voted by young readers across the US as a Teen's Top Ten for 2007
  • A 2009 YALSA Popular Paperback for Young Adults
  • Nominated for the ALA's Best Books for Young Adults
  • A St. Louis Post Dispatch Best Book of 2006
  • Wilde Award, best sequel 2006, The News & Observer
  • A Booklist 2007 Top 10 Fantasy Books for Youth

"Suspenseful, magical, and heartfelt, this is a story that will wholly envelop its readers."

"Hale makes profound statements about war and peace, friends and strangers, men and women and all the different kinds of battle. Her language glimmers like firelight, like sunshine on water as she propels readers along a river of wonderful writing to the tumultuous and heart-tugging climax."

"This novel will be a special treat for readers of Hale's other two companion books, but it also stands on its own as a unique and tender coming-of-age story."
Publisher's Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

"This high fantasy is rich in detail and lyrical in writing. River Secrets stands on its own. But fans of the genre will no doubt rejoice in immersing themselves in this magical world by reading all three."
School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW

"While Hale's sketch of Razo is engaging, even more compelling is the well-played political situation in the meeting of two exotic and very different fantasy cultures. The mystery of the body-burner's identity adds suspense, and several romantic subplots invite emotional investment. All elements join together to form an adept...fantasy adventure."
Horn Book

"Shannon Hale has an uncanny knack of grabbing your interest in the Prologue and not letting go until you finish the entire book...A reading treasure."
Children's Literature

"Humorous, touching and a marvelous adventure."
St. Louis Post Dispatch

Region 10 South - Day 5 Evening Report

Region 10 South Soaring Contest, Day 5, August 14 got started off like all the days this week – unsure weather predictions.  When I walked my dogs early this morning, the ground was much wetter than any day this week – lots of moisture in the air.  I had to make a quick run to the airport and the few little valleys between the motorhome park and the airport contained light fog, so again, lots of moisture.  We had gotten rain in the area for the last two afternoons so I guess it had not managed to drain into our parched soils around here.

With input from the advisors, the CD called an Assigned Speed Task for the Combined 18m-15m Class and for the Standard Class.  Trying to stay away from the east side of the task area, where the thunderstorms had been erupting the last two days, they sent the group to Halletsvile, 66.38 sm SW and then to Rockdale, 152 sm north of Halletsvile and home for a total of 197.65.  We had one pilot elect to come home early and two that landed at airports and one land out in a field.

The pilots that got around spoke of dodging rain showers all afternoon and several that spoke of coming home with very clean gliders from the rain showers that they could not avoid.  Again it was just choices of directions to make runs that made the difference.  Pilots that left Hallettsville and took a more easterly side of the clouds streets, fell into soft conditions and had to struggle. The pilots that took the western side rode the street almost all the way to Caldwell and then home.

The Sports Class was sent on the same course, but with a TAT with 30 sm. radius around each airport.  In Sports, we had two pilots that landed at airports and one that came home early, all wise decisions as the conditions died in the whole western area.

In the Combined 18m-15m Class, Ken Sorenson stayed on top with a near, perfect cumulative score of 4,944 pts.

In the Standard Class, another familiar name, Danny Sorenson, lengthened his lead with another win; he is now at 4,948 pts., another almost perfect score.

In Sports Class, the lead position is still up for grabs, Bill Snead leads with 4,954 pts, but Steven Leonard is getting closer with 4,832 pts.  Bill’s 4,954 is closer to being perfect than Ken and Danny Sorenson. Steven Leonard was in 1st place today to edge closer to Bill.

The Budweiser people brought out a big cooler of beer today and we also had a birthday party for Howard Rohde.  His wife brought a big cake as a surprise and we had to wait for Howard to get back from an aero retrieve to sing Happy Birthday.

Everyone was home safe tonight, which is the most important thing.

Tomorrow’s weather has the high at 100 degrees with SSE winds at 10-20, so maybe we will have more streeting.

Murray happy with expectation

Click to follow
The Evening Standard
Andy Murray will get his bid to become Britain's first homegrown Wimbledon men's champion for more than 70 years under way when he steps out on Centre Court against veteran Frenchman Fabrice Santoro on Tuesday afternoon.

The British number one, ranked 11th in the world and seeded 12 by the All England Club, is the third match up - by which time the anticipation up on 'Murray Mount' at the Aorangi Terrace in front of the giant TV screen will no doubt have reached fever pitch.

"In terms of pressure and expectation, it does not feel that much different to me," said the 21-year-old, who missed the grand slam tournament due to a wrist injury 12 months ago.

He added: "Centre Court is one of the most special of anywhere in the world, it is so quiet during the points then when you finish, it completely erupts.

"The build-up is the hardest part, there are a lot of media requirements, questions asked about how you are going to do.

"Once you get out there, everything is like any other tournament but with some extra support, which really helps."

Murray has yet to get past the fourth round of a grand slam and knows just how his life would change forever were he to emerge triumphant at the end of the Wimbledon fortnight.

"The US Open was always my favourite tournament when I was growing up, but when I missed Wimbledon last year, it kind of changed my feelings about it a bit - seeing my brother [Jamie] win [the mixed doubles] was awesome, with the support he got," Murray told BBC Sport.

"It was tough to miss it last year, but I have played the Davis Cup here since and that was an unbelievable atmosphere.

"You can play on huge courts, but this is the only place where everyone is rooting for you to win and that makes a big difference."

Warrnambool cricket umpires' dispute a step closer to resolution

WARRNAMBOOL’S cricket administrators and umpires’ group have moved a step closer to resolving ongoing tensions.

Warrnambool and District Cricket Association chairman Nick Frampton said there had been “progress” on a dispute with the Warrnambool Cricket Umpires’ Association.

The organisations have been at loggerheads since the WDCA proposed taking over the management, training and appointment of umpires in April.

Representatives of both organisations joined cricket stalwart Jim Ryan for a three-hour mediation session at Colac to sort out their differences.

Details of the mediation remain confidential, but Frampton said the WDCA and WCUA had devised a “heads of agreement”, which listed areas of consensus.

The organisations will take the document back to their members for approval. In the case of the WDCA, that includes board members and delegates of the 13 clubs.

The document will form the basis of a new memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the parties if there is unanimous approval.

Frampton, who did not attend the mediation, said “there were concessions made from both sides and progress was made”.

“Not everything was agreed to from what I’ve been told but at the end of the day progress has been made, which is important,” he said.

“What we wanted and what we were looking for was a better deal for umpires and umpiring in the south-west.

“That’s where this new heads of agreement is pointing us. It’s a wait-and-see now.”

Frampton expected the WDCA board to meet in the coming days. A second meeting with club delegates required at least 21 days’ notice.

Frampton said any new MoU would have “noticeable” differences to the agreement in place last season.

“From the feedback (WDCA board member) Tony (Brown) has given me, it was a productive meeting,” he said. “There’s no doubt there were passionate views put forward, but at the end of the day that’s what mediation is for.

“And that’s why it’s confidential. People can get there and say what they need to unashamedly, get all the issues on the table.”

It can be a bit nerve wracking, hearing how God stepped in to Moses' life. When Karen started her sermon about Moses being called by God, I felt I had a lot in common with early Moses. I have a calm, predictable life. I enjoy my family, my work, and my routine. And then when Moses hears his name called from the bushes, he (like I probably would!) starts with the excuses and all the reasons he shouldn't have to disrupt his comfortable life.

When I picture Moses taking off his shoes and accepting he's on holy ground, I picture him committing to whatever God holds for him in the future. And that's scary!

But our last song was Great is Thy Faithfulness, such a familiar hymn. I was struck by the verses, how it tells of how God is ALWAYS and forever taking care of us. But the last verse moved me the most. Because the words were so familiar, I could feel the congregation looking up from their hymnbooks for the final chorus. It truly felt like God was showing up in the faces of those with me there in the pews. I was so thankful for God's faithfulness in showing himself where needed, and for providing his people to help one another take these scary steps of obedience to God together.

Like Moses in that scrubby desert hearing the voice of God say his name, I don't know the end of the story yet. But I do pray we continue to listen for God's voice, and to accept the signs of the faithfulness of God when they're shown to us.

The Minneapolis City Council on Friday ushered in a new era of City Hall/neighborhood relations after rejecting attempts to strengthen the hand of a new resident-dominated board that will advise the city.

The council approved creating a new department to deal with neighborhood groups and city residents. And it created a commission of at least 16 city residents that will serve as a mostly advisory body to that department.

What began as an effort by activists to devise funding to preserve the city's nationally recognized Neighborhood Revitalization Program evolved into a much broader revamping of city-resident relations.

"It's a new day for neighborhoods in Minneapolis," said Council Member Betsy Hodges, representing southwest Minneapolis, where the new plan -- that some activists criticized as top-down reform -- has drawn stronger support.

Doug Walter was among the neighborhood activists who left the 2 1/2-hour debate unsatisfied. The staff member of a Nokomis-area neighborhood group called council members condescending and said they showed a "callous disregard" for neighborhood sentiment.

The new department will have broader responsibilities than the old NRP, dealing with interpretive and disability services and other City Hall-resident interactions. Many details remain to be worked out, but plans are to have City Coordinator Steven Bosacker name a new assistant who will head the department.

How much input the resident commission will have in that appointment gave rise to the debate's biggest clashes. A working group of City Hall insiders recommended that the board serve as a search committee and recommend three names to Bosacker.

Council Member Sandra Colvin Roy attempted to allow the commission to pick the new neighborhood czar--subject to council approval--and to evaluate and to fire the appointee. That failed on an 8-4 vote with Cam Gordon, Gary Schiff and Diane Hofstede joining her. A choked-up Colvin Roy said centralized control of neighborhood affairs will undermine neighborhood creativity and independence.

Having neighborhoods select the new director was a key point for activists. But it foundered amid concerns that a council role in the selection could politicize the job and undermine Bosacker, while running afoul of a city ordinance requiring non-civil service appointees to report to department heads or their deputies. The council also rejected Gordon's proposal to give the commission a stronger role in recognizing neighborhoods and defining their boundaries.

The new board's largely advisory role is to direct the next phase of NRP, to help shape NRP's neighborhood-directed funding, to make recommendations on competitive grants to neighborhoods, to shape community participation efforts and the new department's plans and budget, and to help achieve the city's goal of putting city departments more in sync with resident priorities.

text: We recently interviewed the founder of Zaptap, Yan Simard. Zaptap is an exciting new company based out of Fredericton, New Brunswick. Zaptap uses RFID tags on products to provide information to consumers. The consumer just needs to wave their NFC enabled smartphones on the product and this will take you to a website with all the info you need. This will help consumers make decisions quickly and easily as they will have a wealth of information at their fingertips. Some of the highlights of this interview are Yan's experiences with NBIF, his experience with getting financing in New Brunswick versus Montreal and his views on the competition which essentially is QR codes. He also talks about Zaptap using QR codes and direct links as a bridge till every phone has NFC. In some ways, his technology may be ahead of it's time.

Rural fire district gets tax increase

— Voters in the Steamboat Springs Rural Fire Protection District approved a pair of referenda Tuesday night, effectively voting to continue their marriage with the city of Steamboat Springs. The vote means the fire trucks will still roll out of the downtown station in January when a chimney fire is reported somewhere in the rural area surrounding Steamboat Springs.

Referendum 5A authorized the district board to raise property taxes and Referendum 5B authorizes the district to use the proceeds to bond for a new fire station and purchase equipment, among other things.

The vote in favor of 5A was 1,219 to 636, a near two-to-one margin. Referendum 5B prevailed 1,114 to 699. About 3,000 voters, either living in the district, or living elsewhere in Colorado and owning property in the district, were eligible to vote.

City Councilman Paul Strong, who has worked closely on the new agreement, said the outcome of the election was good news for residents of the city as well as for those in the district.

"It's going to mean much better fire protection for the city as well as the district," Strong said Tuesday night. "It will provide full time fire staff, resulting in a shorter response time."

Strong predict the full time firefighters could be on duty by 2002.

The city is essentially the hole in the donut described by the district boundaries. The two political entities have a longstanding agreement that calls for the city fire department to respond to fire alarms in the district, and the ambulance and emergency medical service run by the district, to respond to calls within the city limits. The arrangement has avoided costly duplication of services, but the fiscal pressures created by growing communities have made the old financial arrangement undesirable to the city. The city has said if the two referenda had not passed, it would cease responding to fire calls in the district in January 2001.

Fire District board President Jane McLeod said that had the two referenda not passed, the board would have needed to meet promptly to reassess the entire situation. No clear contingency plan for providing fire protection to the district beyond 2000 existed going into the election.

The passage of the two referenda cements a new agreement between the district and the city which will allow them to continue sharing the cost of providing fire suppression and emergency medical services in both political jurisdictions.

The language of the referenda put to the voters this fall did not name a specific mill levy increase because capital and operating budgets aren't yet firm. Instead, Referendum 5A asked the voters to permit the district to increase district taxes by $130,000 next year, and "annually thereafter at a rate sufficient to generate no more than $520,000 in each year."

Referendum 5B asked the voters if the district could increase its debt by no more than $2 million with a repayment cost of not more than $4.2 million when interest is calculated. For the average homeowner in the district, Referendum 5A will mean a substantial increase in the amount of property tax they pay the district on a percentage basis. However, the actual amount of tax will be fairly modest the first year. Homeowners in the district paid tax of $48.10 on $300,000 of valuation in 1999. That amount would increase by $54 to to $102 in 2001. By 2005, property taxes on $300,000 of valuation in the district could increase by $165.

However, McLeod said it's important to understand that property tax collections will only be increased when budgets are set to increase operating costs or take on capital projects. If the projects aren't set to go forward and bonds issued, taxes won't be increased. Bonds aren't expected to be issued for at least two years, McLeod added.
