Upgrading Existing Systems

Upgrading / Re-Hostingto the most recent hardware / software platforms.

We can re-host just about any PICK-based system to the most up-to-date MultiValue platforms. The result would be a tremendous increase in system speed and productivity with increased reliability. We have successfully re-hosted from other, older PICK-based systems (i.e. AP/Native, D3/SCO, and other proprietary systems) to D3 for Windows 2008/2012 Server or Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

These newest D3 releases (Version 9.0) are much more robust and provide functionality not present in older Pick/D3 versions. A dual-processor Intel Xeon-based server can be set up (at a very reasonable cost) that can easily handle up to 200 users using either Windows 2008/2012 Server or RedHat Linux Enterprise Version 6. Our applications can also be installed on IBM AIX platforms.

We encourage all of our current and prospective customers to upgrade to totally network (Ethernet) based systems and have extensive experience replacing older hardware based on RS-232/serial (Digiboard)/parallel connections with totally network-based solutions that are much easier to maintain and service.

We also have experience with the Rocket Ultimate/Unidata systems. We have developed routines to convert data between D3/Pick and Ultimate/Unidata.

An A-Z Guide To The Search For Plato's Atlantis

Joining The Dots

Joining The Dots

I have now published my new book, Joining The Dots, which offers a fresh look at the Atlantis mystery. I have addressed the critical questions of when, where and who, using Plato's own words, tempered with some critical thinking and a modicum of common sense.

Sunken Cities, Harbours and Islands

Sunken Cities, Harbours and Islands are to be found all over the world. Sometimes these were caused by local seismic, tectonic or volcanic events. A greater number were undoubtedly caused by the rising sea levels that followed the deglaciation at the end of the last Ice Age. This deglaciation continues today as the greenhouse gases produced by human activity threatens to raise sea levels further that could inundate a number of our major cities that could lead to dramatic social and economic consequences.

The flooding of Atlantis, as recorded by Plato, continues to prompt opportunistic writers to try to link any new discovery of submerged structures with this prehistoric catastrophe. Cuba, The Baltic Sea, Malta, and Southern Spain, among others, have all been touted as Atlantis on this basis. Many more are yet to be discovered that will attract this same spurious identification. There is also the possibility that a sunken structure from Atlantis will be discovered that will not be identified as such.

Even more depressing is the possibility that mankind may have to wait until the inevitable next ice age, when the sea levels again drop, before we will have our best opportunity to identify the true location of Plato’s city. That is assuming that we are still around and in a position to scientifically search for the site of this enduring mystery.

The most spectacular sunken city recently discovered is undoubtedly that of Thonis-Heracleion off the coast of modern Alexandria(c). A close second might be the city found in the Gulf of Cambay in India, for which claims of extreme antiquity have been made, however, archaeologist Justin Morris from the British Museum said more work would need to be undertaken before the site could be categorically said to belong to a 9,000 year old civilisation.

The sunken town of Dunwich was once the 10th largest settlement in England and is frequently referred to as ‘Britain’s Atlantis’.  However it was inundated relatively recently, in 1286 AD, and obviously has no connection with Plato’s Atlantis. Modern technology has now enabled an accurate mapping of this old town(b). Similarly, the German city of Rungholt was flooded by the Wadden Sea less than a century later(d).

In 2009 the lost city of Bathonea was rediscovered just 20 km from Istanbul. Evidence of human habitation in an area dated to earlier than 10,000 BC has been found. Millennia later a Greek settlement was established on the site and later expanded by the Romans. Excavation of the partially submerged city may take up to a century. The discovery of cities such as Bathonea understandably raise hopes that someday the remains of Atlantis may also be found.

*In 2017, also in Turkey a sunken city has been found in the waters of Lake Van in the far east of the country(e).*

A Swedish website dedicated to underwater archaeology, lists a number of known sunken cities(a).

The mistakes first home buyers make

JUST say you won the Lotto or a kindly relative left you a sizeable inheritance and, hooray, you have a deposit for a bedsit in a far-flung corner of Sydney.

It’s time to hit the listings with your chequebook and your shock-and-awe auction tactics.

What could go wrong?

Lots, in fact.

“First homebuyers are often at a disadvantage because you have inexperience combined with the intense emotion of buying your first home,” said co-founder of Cohen Handler buyers’ agents, Simon Cohen.

“It’s a recipe for disaster.”

Here are some of the most common traps to avoid.

The agent may be a great person, charming to boot, and you really like the way they spare you the hard sell. But it’s important to remember their loyalty is not to you.

“The selling agent works in the interests of their seller and it is their job to sell their house for the absolute maximum the market is willing to pay,” buyers’ agent at Property Mavens, Miriam Sandkuhler, said.

In order to work out your budget, they will either ask you how much you think the property is worth, gauge whether you have missed out at nearby auctions to determine your ceiling price or even inspect your cheque on auction day.

“They might take a look at your cheque to see if it’s all correct and they can then gauge from your 10 per cent deposit what you maximum is,” Ms Sandkuhler said.

“At home viewings the selling agents will ask you seemingly innocent questions about your likes and dislikes, what you’re looking for and how much you’re willing to spend.

“This is done to see how much money you have and work out if you are a serious buyer, but they are also gleaning information should they need to use it during the negotiation phase.”

So the less information given to an agent, the better.

First homebuyers waste months – sometimes years – attending auctions and missing out to other buyers.

Meanwhile, property prices are increasing at a rate they cannot possible keep track with through saving.

“If you have never done it before then you won’t know how to price property properly and that can cost you a lot of money,” said Ms Sandkuhler.

“The quote range of property often does not relate at all to the buyer’s budget.”

Not only is the market going up while first home buyers miss out at auctions, but they’re also having to paying hundreds of dollars on pest and building inspection fees for each auction they wish to bid at.

Mr Cohen recommended first home buyers research what similar properties have sold for (not listed for) in a particular area before buying – and that doesn’t mean relying on what the agent says.

“Go to auctions in the area you’re hoping to buy in and look at what homes are selling for and search for similar properties online,” Mr Cohen said.

“You want to get a good understanding of what a bargain would look like in those suburbs and then, eventually, what the home you want to buy is worth and why it’s worth that amount.”

Sometimes first homebuyers think they need to buy a rundown house and tart it up to get into the market. The kind of home the agent refers to as a “renovator’s delight”, but are, in fact, only delightful if money pits bring you joy.

Financial comparison website’s property and lending expert, Steve Jovcevski, cautioned against falling blindly for the DIY fantasy.

“If you’re going DIY, don’t forget that there are certain things, such as electrical wiring, that you need to hire a licensed contractor for,” Mr Jovcevski said.

“Make sure you get property inspections done to find out the extent of the work that needs to be completed, and get quotes from contractors so you can budget properly for them.”

Furthermore, banks often won’t lend on a property that is deemed uninhabitable.

“So if your lender inspects the house and finds that it’s unlivable, they may not agree to give you a mortgage, or only lend you a fraction of what you ask for,” Mr Jovcevski said.

“While some banks will lend going off the contract price of a property, you can’t rely on that.

“It’s important to be upfront with your bank about the property you’re looking to purchase, so you can be sure you’ll secure the loan you need.”

We get it. Securing a mortgage and filling out paperwork is burdensome, but if you don’t pay attention to the details you can end up big trouble.

First homebuyers often forget to factor in additional expenses, such as stamp duty, mortgage and solicitor fees and mortgage insurance.

While it may be tempting to cut back on professional advice to save money, Mr Cohen said this was a bad idea.

“Make sure you get a solicitor to look at your contract because they can pick up all sorts of things that turn a good property into a bad one, such as heritage overlays or problems with the body corporate,” Mr Cohen said.

Mr Cohen said first homebuyers desperate to get a foothold after years of feeling locked out of the market, shouldn’t feel grateful for just any old property.

“They should remember that their money is as good as anyone else’s,” Mr Cohen said.

“The first property you own really is a stepping stone for your life and it’s so important to get that right.”

March 3rd, 2019 /

Across the continent less than 10% of the population is connected to a sewer systemwith most households using some type of onsite sanitation technology (e.g. pit latrines or septic tanks). If not managed properly, untreated excreta can have serious human and environmental health impacts. But if managed adequately, human waste can offer many opportunities: it’s rich in nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium), carbon (for energy) and water.

All can be harnessed into productive resources using technologies that also mitigate the health risks associated with untreated sewage and solid waste. The end product can be delivered to smallholder farmers to fertilise their crops. Food waste from large markets can also be converted into nutrients for farmers. Read more

Penobscot Theatre Company announces new leadership for its Dramatic Academy

Penobscot Theatre Company is proud to announce the hiring of Amy Roeder-actor, writer, director, voiceover artist, and award-winning teacher/instructor-as its new director of education. In August Amy will relocate from Chicago where she has served among The Second City’s elite corps. “I saw Amy perform when I was at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta,” said Artistic Director Bari Newport, “and she blew me away! She’s a lifelong student of the craft, seriously dedicated and hilariously funny, which is why she shines on stage and also why she’s one of Second City’s most in-demand instructors. She has so much to offer our Dramatic Academy and we’re excited to welcome her to the community.”

PTC's Summer Dramatic Academy Sessions begin June 23rd

PTC’s Summer Dramatic Academy Sessions begin June 23rd

Amy’s teaching experience ranges from after-school theatre programs to university courses and corporate training. She has performed with the Improv Asylum in Boston, Gotham City Improv in New York, Maine’s own Improv Acadia, Germinal Stage Denver, and Drury Lane Oakbrook Theatre, in addition to The Second City both in Chicago and around the world; and has earned many television and film credits. Amy holds an MFA from the University of Georgia and is a certified teacher in the Michael Chekhov Acting Technique. She is a member of the Actor’s Equity Association (AEA) and the Screen Actors Guild/American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG/AFTRA).

PTC’s Dramatic Academy Summer will be in full swing upon Amy’s arrival, led by an outstanding team of professional teaching artists. Christie Robinson will lead the first summer session, June 23-July 18, centered on the hit Broadway musical Hairspray. With vocal, dance, and acting talents in equal abundance, Christie has charmed PTC’s audiences since 2008; and she has worked with young thespians as a producer, director, and choreographer in more than 30 productions. Last seen in Cinderella: A New Telling Of An Old Tale, Christie is currently preparing for her role as Columbia in The Rocky Horror Show.

“As a musical theatre junkie, I am thrilled to be producing Hairspray with the Dramatic Academy. A feel-good, sparkly musical with big dance numbers, big notes, and big hair? What’s not to love? Whether they want to be on stage or behind the scenes, PTC offers kids a theatre experience like no other!”

Jasmine Ireland, PTC’s former director of education and outreach, will lead the program’s second summer session, July 28-August 15, bringing to life adventure-filled stories inspired by classic Greek myths. Beloved resident teaching artist Ben Layman will direct productions in each session.

New this summer, PTC is piloting Tech Track during Session 1, a special course of study concentrating on the work behind the scenes: set and prop design and construction, stage management, costuming, lighting, and sound. Tech students will get valuable hands-on training and play an integral role in producing Dramatic Academy’s summer shows, all performed on PTC’s historic main stage.

Summer registration is open to students aged 4-20, and no previous experience or audition is required. Classes will run Monday through Friday from 9:00 am-12:00 pm (lunch optional, 12:00-1:00 pm) for students aged 4-6; 9:00 am-4:00 pm for students aged 7-13; and 1:00-8:00 pm for students aged 14-20. During Session 1, Tech Track will run daily Monday through Friday from 9:00 am-4:00 pm.

Stella McCartney Zebra Print Wool Clutch | Chic Downtown Black On Black Zebra Purse

Posted on: May 29

Stella McCartney is known not only for her witty, downtown takes on classic designs, but also for her animal and eco-friendly business practices. In both of those ways, this gorgeous little clutch epitomizes her work.

Along with everything else that was popular in the 80's, animal prints are definitely making a major comeback. They were everywhere on the Fall runways, and they're starting to hit shelves in a major way. What I like about this clutch is that it subdues the zebra print by making it monochromatic. The pleats detail on the front break up the pattern of the print, but in a way that is interesting rather than distracting.

The simple rectangluar gold frame adds a touch of uptown shine to the matte fabric of the bag. The ball snap closure is sleek and feminine, and I love the delicate (and detachable) chain strap.

This is a fabulous clutch by a fabulous and responsible designer, and the only thing I wish were different about it is the price. At $515, it's just not terribly recession friendly.

Our Top 3 Outdoor Activities in Charente…

As the weather warms up in the Charente and with the second highest amount of sunshine of all the departments of France, thoughts inevitably turn to outdoor activities.  And what a wonderful selection there is!

Read on for our guide to the top 3 outdoor activities to do in the Charente…

Fun and adventure in the tree tops in complete safety… Accrobranche is massively popular across France, and there are several places in the Charente region where you can hit the heights.

Suitable for all ages and abilities from adrenaline junkies, those looking to conquer a fear of heights and children who like adventure this activity is basically an obstacle course in the trees, where you are attached to a safety system from start to finish.

One of our favourite parks is in the far north of the Charente, close to the border with the Haute Vienne. The lovely town of Massignac is home to the adventure park ‘Lacs de Haute Charente’.

It has a range of tree wires for small kids to serious stuff with a great zip wire across a huge lake. Tree climbing courses are possible too and even a bungee jump for the brave ones.

A great cafe, shady car park, bi-lingual staff and good value for the amount of time you can spend there, it’s a cracking day-out for all the family.  Find out more on their website here.

The rivers in France are incredible – scenic, wide and majestic and the Charente region is home to one of the best… the river Charente which was once described by King François I as “The most beautiful stream in France”.

There are many excellent spots to go for either a leisurely paddle or a white water experience, and canoe hire is available at most of the river side towns, such as Angouleme, Aubeterre sur Dronne, Chateauneuf sur Charente, Cognac and Jarnac.

The lesser known Tardoire river runs through the picturesque town of Montbron on the eastern edge of the Charente region. With the help of the ‘Maison du Canoë’ based just outside the town, you can venture out onto the shady and largely shallow waters for a unique adventure…

En canoë ou en kayak, vous apprécierez le calme de la Tardoire et voyagerez à travers de 400 siècles d’histoire : grottes préhistoriques, menhirs, vestige gallo-romains, églises romanes, châteaux du XIIème au XIXème siècle, moulins du siècle dernier restaurés ….

Canoeing or kayaking, you can enjoy the quiet of the Tardoire and travel through 400 centuries of history: prehistoric caves, menhirs, Gallo-Roman vestiges, Romanesque churches, castles from the XIIth to the XIXth century, restored mills from the last century…..

The kayaks are practically unsinkable (especially the single person ones) and waterproof barrels are provided for valuables and lunch/drinks. A Mini bus takes you to the drop off point then you slowly back paddle back to base.

There are also different lengths of trip available depending on age, fitness, competency and cost of course. A lovely day out and another great way to explore the sleepy Charente region.  To find out more about this magical experience visit the Tardoireck website.

And finally what we consider the best outdoor activity in the Charente… cycling!

Well of course we’re biased and for good reason as the area is perfect for a holiday bike ride with an extraordinary network of wonderful cycle tracks, the length and breadth of the department.

Called ‘boucles’ in France, you can find a wide range of well sign-posted routes which make the most of this beautiful area… covering an abundance of local treasures, many only discovered when ‘sur un velo’.

Pop into an Office de Tourisme and pick up their great pocket sized cycle guides or you can find links to PDFs of each route on the Bike Hire Direct ‘Cycling in Charente‘ page.

Explore the Charente by bike…

Whatever your age or ability, it is our aim at Bike Hire Direct Charente to make hiring bikes as easy as possible for you!

There is no need to have the extra hassle of transporting your own bikes… let us know where you are staying and we will deliver bikes directly to your holiday accommodation ready for you to enjoy on your holiday!

For more information on renting bikes in the Charente please take a look at the Bike Hire Direct website for some great local ‘Cycling Routes in Charente‘ or contact charente@bikehiredirect.com.

Dearly-beloved brothers and sisters in ‘Abdu’l-Bahá!

With feelings of profound sorrow I am moved to address you these few lines mourning the loss which the Cause has undoubtedly sustained by the passing of one who, for many years and in circumstances of exceptional significance, rendered the sacred Threshold distinctive and inestimable services. The hand of Divine Decree has removed, by the death of our talented and dearly-beloved friend, Mr. Hippolyte Dreyfus-Barney, yet another outstanding figure in the Cause of Bahá’u'lláh, who, by his brilliant gifts of mind and heart as well as by the divers achievements of his life, has truly enriched the annals of God’s immortal Faith.

A pioneer of the Cause of Bahá’u'lláh ever since its celestial light first warmed and illuminated the West, he has, by his close association with the person of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, by his contact with all sections of society, by his scholarly presentation of the history and fundamentals of the Faith, and lastly by his unforgettable share in the settlement of the complex and pressing issues that called for expert assistance in the days following ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s passing, achieved a standing which few have as yet attained.

The days of his spiritual communion with ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and His household within the walls of the prison-city of ‘Akká, wherein he imbibed the principles which he later so ably expounded to the peoples of the West; his pre-eminent role on his return to Paris in kindling the torch which is destined to shed eternal illumination upon his native land and its people; the links of abiding fellowship which he forged with our Persian brethren in the course of the historic mission entrusted to his charge by our Beloved; the seeds which he scattered far and wide during his subsequent travels to the heart of Asia, throughout India, beyond the remotest villages of Burma and as far as the eastern confines of Indo-China; the able support he lent in its initial and intermediary stages to the case of Bahá’u'lláh’s house in Baghdad; his unhesitating intervention with State officials in paving the way for the ultimate emancipation of our Egyptian brethren from the yoke of orthodox Islam; the stimulating encouragement his visit caused to the Bahá’í community of Tunis on the northern shores of Africa; and last but not least the ability and diligence with which he applied himself to the solution of the delicate and vexing problems of the Holy Land in the critical years following ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s ascension — all stand out as memorable landmarks in a life that was as varied in its international aspects as it was rich in its spiritual experience.

His gifts of unfailing sympathy and penetrating insight, his wide knowledge and mature experience, all of which he utilized for the glory and propagation of the Message of Bahá’u'lláh, will be gratefully remembered by future generations who, as the days go by, will better estimate the abiding value of the responsibilities he shouldered for the introduction and consolidation of the Bahá’í Faith in the Western world.

Suffering as he did in his last days from the effects of a slow and painful illness, he bore heroically his share of the afflictions of the world, and is now in the realms of blissful deliverance partaking his full share of the goodly reward which he certainly deserved. To me, and particularly amid the storm and stress that have agitated my life after ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s passing, he was a sustaining and comforting companion, a most valued counsellor, an intimate and trusted friend.

With much emotion and the deepest sense of gratitude I supplicate at the holy Threshold — and request you to join with me in my prayers — for the spiritual advancement in the realms above of a soul who by the sheer merit of the signal services he rendered already deserves to rank highly among the departed faithful.

May he forever rest in peace.
December 21, 1928.

2) Mirza Mahmud Zargani (Zarqani) (page 213)

It is with great sorrow that we have to announce the sudden death of Mirza Mahmud Zargani … His death, as all realize, is a great loss to the Cause and has deeply grieved the hearts of all the friends. The following telegram was received from the beloved Guardian: ‘Deeply mourn passing (of) Zargani. His outstanding services will shine evermore. Urge friends hold befitting memorials.’

(Note. — Mirza Mahmud was the Master’s secretary during His visit in America, and transcribed in Persian the complete text of Abdu’l-Baha’s public addresses and many of His words to individuals and groups. A manuscript exists, written by Mirza Mabmud, which gives in daily detail the events of that marvelous journey. It is ardently to be hoped that means will be found to publish this volume.)

3) William H. Randall 1863-1929 (page 213)

Our Dearly Beloved Fellow-Worker,

Mr. Randall!

I wish to refer, in conclusion, to the sad and untimely death of our dearly beloved and highly distinguished brother and fellow-worker, Mr. Harry Randall. The unsparing efforts which he exerted for the promotion of the Faith, the passionate eloquence with which he diffused its teachings, the mature judgment and ripe experience e which he contributed to its councils, the liberality with which in days of prosperity he supported its institutions, and above all his upright and generous character, are traits that will long live after him, and which bodily separation n can never remove. I will most fervently supplicate at the holy Threshold, and wish you to join with me in my prayers, for the spiritual advancement in the realms beyond of a soul that has already achieved such a noble standing in this world.

    Your true brother,

    Haifa, Palestine.
    February 27th, 1929.

Minneapolis, MN Regional Preview

The #2 team in the country, Oklahoma, will have to trek north to Minnesota for a regional that looks like it will be a tight battle between Illinois and Minnesota for the second spot to advance to nationals. This meet is one of the later starts (7 ET/4 PT), so the Illinois/Minnesota storyline will probably finish out the day be the very last nationals spot decided.

Competing teams (starting event)
[2] Oklahoma (bye before bars)
[11] Illinois (bye before floor)
[14] Minnesota (vault)
[19] California (floor)
[26] Southern Utah (bars)
[31] San Jose State (beam)

Competing individuals are from Iowa (Alie Glover, Angel Metcalf, Sydney Hoerr, Jordyn Doherty - vault, Mollie Drenth - floor), Air Force (Linnaea Hance, Katie Hawthorne - bars, Shannen Kelly - beam), and Wisconsin-Whitewater (Katie Fiorilli).

The Favorite

We're falling into a few ruts when it comes to rankings. Florida enters regionals as the #1 team for the fourth straight year, and Oklahoma is the #2 team for the third straight year. And much like Florida, Oklahoma should advance with ease. Minnesota's season high of 197.250, top among the other teams, would be considered a bad meet for the Sooners, who haven't put up a score below that level since February. For these top few seeds, regionals are about what we want to see heading into nationals.

It's interesting that we have this collective sense of Oklahoma as a bars and beam, and it comes because visually and anecdotally, that's where they have excelled. Those routines have been the more memorable and more exciting ones. However, Oklahoma has ranked consistently well on vault and floor over the past five years, claiming the #1 ranking on both events from time to time, so to see them in the top 3 on all the events this year is not unusual and, in terms of basic results, isn't really a change. What would be a change would be seeing them score more competitively at nationals on those events, which they have not always done (5th on vault and floor at Super Six 2013). We won't really get an answer to how competitive this Oklahoma team is on those events until nationals, but there is still a sense that they have progressed, with underclassmen like Scaman, Kanewa, and Capps providing a boost of power - Capps with that extra distance on vault, Kanewa with that extra big E pass on floor to support Scaman's excellent DLO - that makes them somewhat less reliant on sticking to get the scores. Though the early lineup routines will still have to be very precise to stay in range of everyone. A few of those early floor routines looked distinctly 9.800 at Big 12s.

But for all the competitive scoring on vault and floor that we have seen this year from Oklahoma, I still think it's going to take winning bars and beam for them to win a national championship. For the time being, that's still this roster's bread and butter. They may be competitive on vault and floor, but bars and beam - especially beam - is where they will have a chance to separate themselves from any other team. That's what I want to see at regionals. A team that can win bars and beam at nationals.

The Contenders

This should be a good one. The Illinois and Minnesota clash is the #2/#3 seed showdown pegged as the most competitive, with the least difference between the two teams. It's the "upset special," although I'm not sure that the lower seed advancing in this case would qualify as an upset. The teams are so close, and Minnesota is at home and has won both of their meetings so far this year. I would say Minnesota comes in as the favorite here, and Illinois qualify would be the surprise, if a very marginal surprise.

When comparing two teams at a regional, it usually comes down to extrapolating previous results and hoping they hold true when the teams are competing together, but Minnesota/Illinois is an unusual case because they have competed head-to-head a couple times, so we can make more reliable direct comparisons. At Big Tens, the two teams were separated by just .050, and the areas of difference were extremely predictable, with Minnesota building up an advantage because of vault and Illinois erasing that advantage because of bars, evening out to a very small final margin.

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if we see a similar situation play out at regionals. It's the classic clash where Minnesota is the better team on vault and floor, while Illinois is the better team on bars and beam (though both teams are a little terrifying on beam, so I wouldn't count on it for the success of either). Minnesota can get 49.4s on floor and has done so at home several times this season, usually involving one of Lindsay Mable's massive scores. Her 9.850 at Big Tens was low by her standards, so Minnesota will feel they can improve on that team score of 49.350. Illinois's 49.325 at Big Tens, by contrast, was a season high, so give Minnesota the edge on floor if they perform up to their capability.

Minnesota made nationals last year largely because of vault. The 49.525 season high they put up at regionals was the single biggest reason they advanced over Auburn, and "vault" and "single biggest reason" have been going together a lot for Minnesota these last couple years. They can be so strong on vault - boasting the Mable, Covers, Slechta triumvirate of 9.9s that excelled at the end of last season - and the fact that their 10 girl (Mable) got a 10.000 while Illinois's 10 girl (Amber See) had a fall, was exceptionally significant in the Big Tens final result. Illinois needs season-best hits out of See on vault and floor at this regional to mitigate some of Minnesota's advantage on those events.

Also mitigating a potential Minnesota advantage will be a little event called uneven bars. It's the clear weak event for the Gophers (#25 in the country), especially in the handstands department - which could have been evaluated more strictly at Big Tens than it was. Bars was a problem from that very first intrasquad video Minnesota released during the preseason, and it remains a problem. Illinois has had some mistakes on bars as well this year, but they have been much more consistent and have multiple people in Sunny Kato, Sarah Fielder, and Mary Jane Horth, who can regularly get high 9.8s or a 9.900. It's a far less scary lineup overall. Illinois managed a .250 advantage on bars at Big Tens, so the potential for an edge is there, even though it did require Minnesota counting a low score. I have to think that for Illinois to beat Minnesota in Minnesota, they're going to need one big event where they put up a huge advantage to protect against any potential small home boosts here and there. Bars looks like the most likely nominee for that.

Illinois has also been the stronger team on beam this season, not necessarily in terms of peak scoring potential (though Minnesota being without Hanna Norquist - Supreme Empress of the Full Turn - has been a blow) but certainly in terms of consistency. Illinois hits beam much more regularly, and I'm reminded of the most memorable moment from regionals last year when Illinois hit that very solid final beam rotation to knock out Nebraska, ending with Alina Weinstein's 9.900. They're finishing on beam again this year and will hope for a deja vu scenario. I should also note that similar to Penn State, I have been impressed by Illinois's lack of regression this season coming off the loss of their big star, Weinstein.

When both of these teams hit, we're usually looking at high 196s, so keep an eye on how close they are to that 197 pace as the meet progresses. The most significant rotations in this meet will be the third and the sixth, so as you're going along following the other meets, be sure to tune in to this meet for those rotations. In the third, Illinois will be on vault while Minnesota is on bars. That's when the Illini will need to step up the vault scoring take a lead to have a good chance to win. In the sixth, Minnesota will be on floor while Illinois is on beam, and that's where the Gophers need to take any lead right back.

Individuals/The Others
Both by ranking and by quality of recent performances, Cal is the strongest unseeded team competing at regionals and therefore warrants some consideration as a possible advancing option. The Golden Bears are certainly the sentimental favorite in all of their competitions now, being in the process of a dramatic program rebirth (that has not yet peaked), but it's probably a step too far for them to advance to nationals as a team at this point. Cal can definitely merit 196s and should score comfortably into the 196 range at regionals, but they would still need help from both Illinois and Minnesota to move on. It wouldn't have to be a complete implosion, but it would have to be assistance from multiple teams, which is always hard to bank on. If they're going to do it, watch the vault and bars scores. Those are the events where they are the most competitive, so they'll need to cut into leads during both of those rotations and not dig themselves too big a hole when starting the meet on floor, an event that looked a little scattered at Pac 12s.

Regardless of the team showing, gem of the world Alicia Asturias looks like a strong bet to make nationals as an individual, being the second-best AAer in this regional. She regularly goes 39.2s-39.3s and recorded a season-high 39.425 at Pac 12s. I actually think her AA scores could be higher, but she sometimes gets 9.750ed as the beam leadoff for a routine that would get a 9.850 later in the lineup. If Minnesota doesn't advance a team, Asturias and Mable seem like the clear choices to go as AAers (because we need both of them at nationals - we need it), but if Illinois doesn't advance, we could see Giana O'Connor or Sarah Fielder go through for them or perhaps an upset from one of the lower-ranked teams.

Southern Utah is regularly one of those teams on the cusp of making regionals, so this year's #26 ranking is an accomplishment. They didn't have to scrape for scores at the last minute to get in, but the 196 from conference championships - their first time reaching that plateau and breaking 49 on each event this year - would have helped. Scoring a 196 again would render this meet a victory. And of course they are also putting forth freshman Memory Shettles as a really strong candidate for best new name in NCAA gymnastics. She'll be fighting for that spot with Tenille Funches, and I expect that to be one of the really good battles on regionals day.

San Jose State is similar to Southern Utah in that they usually just sneak into regionals and did so again this year. The season high of 195.800 tells us that just making it this far was the accomplishment, but if you're looking for a dark horse AA candidate to follow - especially if the competition ends up being less close than we expect - SJS happily provides a few individuals who can potentially score well. Boise State transplant Bekah Gher, whom you might recall having an excellent beam routine during that decisive 2011 regionals beam rotation, is a top 50 AAer this season, and Cassandra Harrison is not far behind her. With a great day, those two could be in this thing.

  1. FYI, michigan's austin sheppard is out for the remainder of season with a broken ankle:

    -- Markey

  2. I know. Maybe Michigan felt like the regional meet wasn't going to be exciting enough? It will be now. Sachi and Jo haven't TRULY stuck a vault landing that I've seen this season and Natalie has stuck twice. Hoepfully they will bring their glue to regionals -- Markey

How Did I miss this?

After a longer than expected hiatus I wrote a long post yesterday, one of the subjects was the recent representation of Texas Breweries at the World Beer Cup. Well I missed a winner! The great Covey Restaurant in Ft. Worth won a GOLD medal in the Vienna Lager Style category. Congrats to them. They also got a very nice write up in the Ft. Worth Business Journal. I really enjoy what Mr. Fulton is doing up there, and I know I've said it a thousand times, but why the heck can't Houston get a good brew pub?

assurbanipaul said...

Maybe what should be asked is, "Why can't Houston SUPPORT a good brew pub?" How many brewpubs have gone bust in the past 15 years?

tedo said...

Good point, but when was the last good brew pub that went under? I think a lot of the ones that failed were back in the 90's, and Houston's beer advocacy has progressed by leaps and bounds in that time. Heck BJ's is doing good business in two different locals, surely if they can do good business, a local independent one like Covey in Ft. Worth could florish.

Potential traffic for the railway

The Québec government has bought the line from Matapédia to Gaspé, but will keep the Caplan to Percé part dormant. Although this is a good first step, the future of the entire railway is still not assured. In case the Minister of Transport was not aware of the potential traffic on that part, I thought I would let him know.

May 15, 2015

The Honourable Robert Poëti
Minister of Transport

Dear Mr Minister,

It is good news that Transports Québec has acquired the railway between Matapédia and Gaspé and will rehabilitate and maintain the sections between Matapédia and Caplan, and between Percé and Gaspé. This ensures the continued operation of the railway for its existing freight customers and the tourist train. The part between Caplan and Percé is to remain dormant as the Minister says that there is not enough potential traffic to justify the work needed on the four bridges that need to be fixed. However, the long term survival of the railway is dependent on it growing its business in order to be financially self sufficient.

There are already some potential customers east of Caplan. The sawmill in St. Elzéar has in the past expressed interest in shipping lumber and wood chips by rail. If I remember correctly, last year they wanted the Gaspésie Railway to set up loading facilities in the New Carlisle yard. The cement plant in Port Daniel will be starting production by 2016-17 and they have also expressed interest in using the railway. One can see many truck and trailer combinations of logs going west on the highway. These should be going by rail as it is safer and would save wear and tear on our highways which are maintained by Transports Quebéc. LM Wind Power in Gaspé could ship by rail. It is sending 54 blades by truck this year to Ontario. Another customer, Via Rail, would return if the track is safe. First to New Carlisle where the train could be turned and then to Gaspé when that stretch is open. VIA Rail suspended this service on September 17, 2013. According to VIA`s 2013 annual report, ridership (including the replacement bus service) for the year up to then was 15,907. That would be the equivalent of around 22,000 per year.

If all this potential traffic is not enough, what does the government consider is enough to make the necessary repairs to save our railway?

Yours sincerely,

Barry Brake
Montreal, QC

Who is Adrian?

The style that best characterizes Adrian's approach to competition can be summed up in one word: Predatorial. In his world, there is no excuse to lose, and it is this attitude that readily diffuses to those around him, inspiring the pursuit of their goals and dreams.

Adrian feels blessed to have to been guided by many great people in his constant quest for personal development. He feels especially grateful to Trevor Ryan, a master of Body sculpting and junior world body building champ, for his support and guidance, and to Matthew Veinot, his little brother, for his drive, power and pride. Last, but certainly not least, he is grateful to his exceptional group of clients and friends. Adrian counts himself lucky to be sporting a smile each day from sunrise to sunset. Their love, motivation, and support are never - ending and mean the world to him.

Adrian has studied the following subjects intensely: Personal training, life style coaching, nutrition, trainer training and human relationships. His true desire in life is to pass on his experience to others who want to live a life that grabs you by the heart and fills you with joy and excitement each day.

Favorite Way to Relax

Adrian loves sailing, and did it competitively for years. He grew up on the water and it's still his favorite place to be when he needs peace...nothing but the wind, sun, and the ocean.

His job is very physical and he works out hard, so in his down time he likes to relax and rest his body...watching movies or just hanging out. No matter how busy he is once a month, Adrian treats himself to a full body and stress specific massage, chiropractic adjustment, and an oxygenated steam bath.

About Adrian's Training

Adrian lifts for results not for his ego when he is working out. It's not time to socialize. He blocks out everyone and everything, all that exists is that next rep.

From aerobics to hardcore power - lifting Adrian does it all. A well-rounded body, mind and spirit require balance and variety. His activities are also diverse and he can be seen practicing ballet, yoga, functional training, sports specific, posing, GPP, k-box, body bar, even break dancing!

As far as weight training goes Adrian believes that if you train hard you should rest harder. Three days out of his week are spent training hard with a day of rest in between when he does cardio, abs and calves, on the "days off".

Favorite Training Tip

Focus as much as possible on whatever muscle you're working. Really squeeze and flex each rep like you're life depends on it. Do it for yourself, because you are worth it!

Adrian Nutritional Planning

Adrian has designed a program that works great for him, but suggests experimentation to discover what works best for you.

He usually eats the same foods each day to keep his body in top form. A slight tweaking here or there to satisfy his craving and enjoy the fruits that are in season is seen as okay but everything in moderation. Admittedly, Adrian is lactose intolerant but battles his tainted love affair with ice cream.

Adrian drinks at least 1 gallon of water each day and consumes 1-1.5 grams of protein per LEAN body mass. Typical ratios are 70% protein 30 carbohydrates, 10 % fats.

His supplementation is consistent and depended upon his needs and goals. Although he uses supplements, he will be the first to admit that nothing is better than real food.

A Typical Day

Meal One- a handful of oatmeal (steel cut) with one scoop of protein powder, animal pak multi-vitamins and EFA's

Meal two- grilled extra lean chicken breast and fresh broccoli

Meal three- protein shake and an apple or pear.

Meal four- three quarters a pound of lean ground turkey or Boiled haddock with salsa to taste and a medium sized yam.

Meal five- grilled extra lean chicken breast, fresh broccoli, and a protein shake

Meal six- Fresh albacore tuna, broccoli, half cup brown rice, and a second pack of animal pak multi-vitamins and EFA's

A Word From Adrian

My experience at the photo shoot with John was great and I highly recommend it. Like any good leader, John pushed our thoughts and limits, encouraging experimentation but also ensuring our comfort at all times.

His trip planning and shoot locations were superb and the shoot went off without a hitch; I almost think he could control the weather at times.

On the set, at the hardcore and exceptional Gym Warriors gym facility, I had the time of my life. Owner and Bodybuilder Paul Desimone was the biggest "nice guy" I have ever met. His flattering comments did so much to pump me up. We relaxed and chatted on diet, contest prep and posing in between shots. It made my day.

A HUGE thank you Paul for the use of your gym, your kind words, and most of all letting "the Animal" loose on your Gym. And thank you John for capturing on film an experience of a lifetime.

My preparation for the shoot was just short of 4 weeks; I started at a weight of 197, and melted myself down to 171 when I weighed in at Gym Warriors.

As a Master Personal trainer I am constantly asked when should I do my cardio and what should I eat, my first question is what your goals are. Mine where to be as shredded as I could without losing the muscle I worked so hard for.

Some tips I will offer without giving away my secrets are

1. Nutrient timing is KEY
2. When muscle preservation is your goal cardio and weight training are for two different things and are NOT to be mixed.
3. Strict discipline MUST be exercised at all times in regards to training and Nutrition.
4. Use a Heart rate monitor(chest strap)
5. Make best friends with your mirrors.
6. Drink plenty of water.
7. Get another set of un-biased eyes for guidance
8. Find more positive things about your body and your efforts each day, high spirits and a smile can be your best motivator. You can only grow on positive energy and you want to reek of it come the date of your shoot.
9. Test your body well in advance, what works for someone else may not work for you.
10. Supplements are what they are "supplements" real food is what a healthy mind and body needs.
11. Pose, pose, and pose!
12. Tan, tan, and tan!
13. Take a picture and get ready to blow your own mind. I know I did!

Ska Mexican Logger seasonal release marks 20 years

Ska Mexican Logger

It may not look like spring in Durango, Colorado, but the return of Ska Mexican Logger means it’s close.

While Mexican lagers have increased in popularity in recent years, Ska Brewing has been releasing this beer since 1999. That’s longer than half the craft breweries in the United States have been around. The brewery touts this as Colorado’s first craft lager in a can when it hit aluminum in 2011.

The 5% alcohol by volume lager is brewed with a lager yeast strain from Mexico City – the same strain that also ferments Ska’s Rue B. Soho Grapefruit.

Crisp, clean, and refreshing — made for hot afternoons with a side of lime.

Ska Mexican Logger is available in 12-ounce cans and draft from March 20th through Summer 2019.

Style: Vienna Lager
Availability: 12oz Cans, Draft Seasonal Release.
Distribution: Colorado, Arizona, Southern California, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Utah.

Winemaker 19 Crimes launches new beer lineup stateside

19 Crimes Beer

19 Crimes, the Australian winemakers with the augmented reality labels, are launching 19 Crimes Beer in the United States.

The wine debuted in the United States 6 years ago, and is now a staple in pretty much every grocery store you step foot in. According to Michelle Terry, CMO or Treasure Wine Estates, the company noticed a duality between wine drinkers and craft beer drinkers. “We know that our 19 Crimes wine lovers also highly index as consumers of craft beer. There is so much opportunity with this brand, and our retailers and customers have been asking us to expand into other alcohol beverages.”

Three styles of 19 Crimes beers are ready with the initial launch – 19 Crimes Pilsner, 19 Crimes IPA, and 19 Crimes Lager. All three styles are brewed at Sleeping Giant Brewery in Denver, Colorado.

Each of the cans portray the familiar characters on the labels, complete with augmented reality stories through the Living Wine labels phone app. The stories on the wine and the beer are the same.

19 Crimes Beer will launch first in Ohio. Expect more states before the close of 2019.

O’Connor Brewing’s new Proper Lager is simply “fantastic”

O'Connor Proper Lager

Norfolk, Virginia based O’Connor Brewing Company has released a new year-round beer into their 8 year old lineup – Proper Lager. A lighter beer that’s needed an IPA and adjunct heavy industry.

For the better part of 2018, O’Connor Brewing was perfecting the recipe, brewing process and launch of this new year-rounder. A lager is a beer you have to get right. There aren’t dark malts, barrel aging or pounds of vanilla beans or fruit to cover up any missteps in the brewing process.

Proper Lager is a helles-style lager, brewed properly according to O’Connor. Helles-style lagers are German pale lager beers (with pilsners, and Dortmund Export styles). Helles in German translates to bright, or light. Incidentally, that description is perfect for this new lager. It’s every bit a bright, crisp and clean beer, that’s impossible to put down.

Without digging deep into the thesaurus, Proper Lager is simply fantastic.

O’Connor Proper Lager is one of seven flagship beers available year-round, in Virginia, Washington D.C., and parts of North Carolina. Available in 12-ounce cans and draft.

Style: Helles Lager
Availability: 12oz Cans, Draft. Year-Round.
Debut: February 2019

This time it’s not an IPA. Stone Tropic of Thunder Lager debuts nationally

Stone Tropic of Thunder Lager

The rescue ship will find you all soon enough. For now, set aside the non-working cell phone and lack of social media (again, work with us here), kick back and revel in your moment of tropical island lagoon serenity.

Already we are at a run;

Before we in our doings drown;
And in the things that matter most,
May haste be ours from pillar to post.
