Poet John Boyle O’Reilly referred to the Atlantic Ocean as a bowl of tears to reflect the dangerous flight to America - specifically Boston - risked in infamous ‘coffin ships’ by many of his countrymen during and following the Irish potato famine in the mid-1800s. The mermaid in question is Pamela Riordan, devoted wife of Casey, whose involvement with the IRA is very nearly written in his DNA code, a family heirloom handed down through the generations.
This book is a sequel to Exit Unicorns , which I read and enjoyed in 2005. It opens in the city of Boston, to which Pamela and Casey have escaped the pervasive violence of Northern Ireland of 1968. We find Pamela flourishing and Casey foundering, both assistants to a powerful political leader. Boston was believed to be a safe haven for Casey; it proves to be anything but, as Pamela finds herself pitted between two rival factions in an effort to keep her husband alive. She compromises her soul when she is coerced into espionage for the FBI, a poorly devised plan that abandons her as mere collateral damage.
A hasty return to Belfast does not spell the end of perilous intrigue. Casey is quickly reunited with someone from his past: Robin, whose troubled and deadly background insinuates itself into more than one aspect of the Riordans’ lives. The truth behind the death of Casey’s father, Brian, is harshly revealed as Pamela risks her life to get answers for her adored husband. Lawrence, a street urchin whose young life is indelibly marked by abuse, finds refuge with the Riordans. Hardened beyond his years, Lawrence finds his way into everyone’s hearts but is unable to escape his own history that is always only one short pace behind him.
Casey and his brother Patrick become trapped within the English legal system, whose methods of extracting information are tortuous and legendary. A surprising champion, David, with a dangerous secret of his own, emerges in the midst of chaos to offer aid to Patrick. Pamela finds herself alone and vulnerable more than once in this story and again seeks assistance, reassurance and comfort from the charming, enigmatic and well-to-do MP Jamie Kirkpatrick.
The fast-paced story weaves its way through shadowy politics, wicked depravity, dire risks, faith and its lack, and above all, toxic secrets. Yet layered between the often painful, disturbing storylines are lighthearted moments of humor, music, and the special kind of magic that can only be found in Ireland. Serving as backdrop to the personal stories is the violence of Northern Ireland in the early 1970s. The dialogue is crisp and genuine, the characterizations rich and varied, and the prose often inclines toward the poetic. A skilled storyteller, Brandner does not spare the reader from the savagery that men can do.
While it is not necessary to read Exit Unicorns prior to reading Mermaid in a Bowl of Tears , I recommend it in order to fully appreciate the complex relationship among Pamela, Casey and Jamie. I found it a gripping novel that easily merits 5 stars.

Ikigai (生き甲斐, pronounced [ikiɡai]) is a Japanese concept that means "a reason for being." It is similar to the French phrase Raison d'être. Everyone, according to Japanese culture, has an ikigai. Finding it requires a deep and often lengthy search of self. Such a search is important to the cultural belief that discovering one's ikigai brings satisfaction and meaning to life. Examples include work, hobbies and raising children.
The term ikigai compounds two Japanese words: iki (wikt:生き) meaning "life; alive" and kai (甲斐) "(an) effect; (a) result; (a) fruit; (a) worth; (a) use; (a) benefit; (no, little) avail" (sequentially voiced as gai) "a reason for living [being alive]; a meaning for [to] life; what [something that] makes life worth living; a raison d'etre".
The word ikigai is usually used to indicate the source of value in one's life or the things that make one's life worthwhile. Secondly, the word is used to refer to mental and spiritual circumstances under which individuals feel that their lives are valuable. It's not necessarily linked to one's economic status or the present state of society. Even if a person feels that the present is dark, but they have a goal in mind, they may feel ikigai. Behaviours that make us feel ikigai are not actions we are forced to take—these are natural and spontaneous actions.
What's your reason for being? Your Ikigai is?
My family keep me going, although some days they bring the ultimate in despair ( :-} ), they are also my ultimate reason for living. Yes I love crafting, walking, music, art, the flowers, trees, and my Path too, is a source of joy bringing me satisfaction and peace, but my family are ALL to me.
My family...my son, my daughter, their spouses. my husband, and grandchildren are my Ikigai.
My reason for being is my path, it's how I found my power center. I love being a homemaker, and taking care of my family, though to be honest, sometimes I want to bang my head against a wall.
I truly love my circle of friends, we are now a family. When I made the decision to give up my extended family(mom and dad passed, estranged sister)it was my soul family that held me up. When I don;t seem to be asked to family functions anymore(aunts, uncles, etc)because of my life path, I have my soul family. I truly believe in another realm they are my family.

This is from Brooklyn Center Independent School District 286 about working with them through the Chefs Move to School Program.
This blog post came from Lawrence Davis-Hollander, an ethnobotanist, former director and founder of the Eastern Native Seed Conservancy, author of Tomato: A Fresh from the Vine Cookbook, and president of botanicalposters.com, the artwork of his wife Margo. His blogs can be found on http://botanicalposters.com/blog, http://blogs.grit.com/blogsand http://simpledailyrecipes.com.
This year, well over 2 million plants of ramps will be harvested for culinary purposes.
My first encounter with ramps took place when I was 19 on a preserve in Connecticut, where I was conducting a vegetation inventory for a summer internship with the Nature Conservancy. For a couple of weeks I tramped along side Dean, a master soil conservationist who reminded me of a younger Euell Gibbons, and his sidekick Ralph, mapping soils. Soil guys always carry a small spade and once Dean spied the ramps he exclaimed “thare’s lunch boys.” For the remainder of the days together when we were in the right habitat, Dean and I would quell the hunger gnawing our stomachs with a snack of raw ramp bulbs. Just brush off the earth and pop them in your mouth.
Since that time I have occasionally dug a few ramps in the spring, savoring their unique subtle flavor when cooked. In recent years I became concerned when I noticed how much media coverage they were getting, how many restaurants were serving them, and food stores selling them. This was no longer the occasional expert forager gathering a few ramps for a meal or two, rather the equivalent of hundreds of people out digging in a patch of ramps. I knew enough about the ecology and botany of the rich woods in which ramps grow to know this was not a good trend.
Commercial foraged samples I saw showed me that they were being harvested carelessly—baby and immature ramps were being dug right along with mature plants. In the Berkshires, where live wild food specialist Russ Cohen lives, I noticed whole patches being decimated.
If you have ever dug ramps you know that sometimes they are quite prolific, yet how long would it take to harm the population? Unfortunately we have proved that as humans we are quite capable of over utilizing our natural resources for our own designs with too little understanding for the consequences of our actions. Our best example in the United States is ginseng. Botanists believe ginseng was just as common as ramps are today. Yet ginseng is now virtually extinct from many woods, and generally scarce or rare today. Ramps, like ginseng, tend to grow in some of our nicest and richest eastern woodlands, those populated by other fragile spring flowers such as Trilliums, Bloodroot, Mayapple, Blue and Black Cohosh and many others.
In talking to many botanists who have looked carefully at ramps and woodland plants there is a concern about the future of ramps due to its new found culinary cache. Harvesting was banned in Smokey Mountain National Park about ten years ago due to field studies showing that the long time traditional local harvesting practices were having a major effect upon ramp populations. As much as 90% of some patches had been harvested, which was estimated to take 100 years to recover. Patches where 25% of the population was harvested were estimated to require 10 years to recover. Even a harvest of only 5% might take 2 years.
Anecdotal information from old time harvesters indicate that patches have been greatly diminished in the last decade, undoubtedly due to this new interest in wild ramps.
Amongst the concerns voiced by botanists are the reduction of the ability of the plants to reproduce because of over harvesting, disturbance of the woodland habitat by digging and trampling, and the resulting ability of invasive plants to spread.
Studies in Quebec led to a ban on commercial harvesting for the entire province, with only small amounts allowed to be dug for personal use. Three states now have ramps listed as plants of special concern. While they can be cultivated it takes about 7 years to produce a mature plant. Currently the ramps on the commercial market are all wild dug.
If there is such a thing as a sustainable harvest of ramps, no one currently knows what that number is. Clearly it is under 5%.
An alternative to destroying the whole plant is utilizing the leaves. For flavor the leaves are excellent and keep refrigerated for several weeks. Leaf harvest is currently being studied. It is not clear how sustainable that practice is. I think it’s possible if not more than 20% of a patch was harvested of leaves each year that this might be sustainable. This is only a guess.
Chefs and food purveyors can help to reverse this trend. The contemporary mass harvesting of an entire food plant like ramps in the United States may be unprecedented. Every botanist I have spoken with was very concerned about the current trajectory. If you must use ramps then ask your suppliers to provide you with leaves. There may be no such thing as sustainably harvested bulbs at a commercial level.
Could we create system for regulation, or certification of sustainable or farm raised ramps? It is possible, and it raises far more questions than can be answered in the near term.
All of us need to keep asking the important questions about our food and its origins.
Curiosity will lead us to inquire about what needs to be learned, while caring will lead us to want to do the right thing in the best way, culminating in kindness—the action of caring. As we think about the common good, what works for the sake of the whole, it seems evident to me that mining ramps is not a net contribution.

I had a great time today at the Minneapolis Farmer’s Market Annex. I did a demonstration as part of the Epicurious.com Farmers Market Tour. I prepared a Summer Ribbon Salad of cucumber, yellow squash, zucchini, and cantaloupe .
I’m always searching for new ways to use summer squash which are completely taking over my garden at this moment. This is a great summer recipe because the veggies all maintain their freshness, no cooking is involved, it’s quick to prepare and you only need one tool…a good vegetable peeler. This salad is great on it’s own or served with grilled lamb or marinated grilled firm tofu.
1. Combine yogurt, lemon zest and juice, salt, cumin, coriander and pepper. Cover, and refrigerate 20 minutes.
2. Using a vegetable peeler shave squashes and cucumber into wide ribbons, stopping when you reach seeds. Toss with vinegar and salt. Cover, and refrigerate. Shave cantaloupe into ribbons, and refrigerate.
3. Just before serving, gently squeeze the cucumber and squash ribbons, and toss with cantaloupe. Drizzle with dressing and chopped mint.
If you use Greek yogurt you may want to thin the dressing with a little water so it is not too thick and heavy.
So far despite some hail in June my garden is coming along great.
I had a fantastic time at the twenty-first annual National Taste of Elegance. I meet a lot great chefs, farmers and the people from the Pork Board. I want to add that the folks from the Pork Board put on a great event and are truly a class act.
As I expected, the competition was really tough in Baltimore. I’m very happy with my results. I finished in third place and earned the title of Premium Chef and got a bunch of hardware.

Filthy tricks release their first single ‘Black Diamond Eyes’ this Saturday 13th April and fans wont be dissapointed.
Gerard Van Den Hoek (Guitarist) and Liam Rimmer (Vocalist) lay down a long and loose intro before the track kicks into a stomping bluesy anthem.
Like a ‘fleshed out’ black keys, Filthy Tricks make good use of the extra width of instruments but stay close to the main hook. This gives the track a great driving/rolling feel that’s broken up with interesting accents.
Rimmer drawls and spits through the verses and is ably backed up by the rest of the band throughout the anthemic chorus before the riff deconstructs and fires the listener into the middle 8.
‘Black Diamond Eyes’ wraps up with a balls out chorus that’s penned to keep a live show bouncing before the trailing hook brings the audience back to earth. In summary; a great first release, let’s hear some more..
Have a listen for yourself below and check the bands socials via the links.
Many thanks to Lees Johnson for a great review. Chris is singer/ guitarist in Dientes. Give them a like here.

Matt Carthy MEP has described the response of government, and particularly the Department of Communications, Climate Action & Environment, following the recent mine collapse in Magheracloone as “not good enough. The Sinn Féin representative claimed that a response received by him by Junior Minister, Seán Kyne, was deferential to Gyproc rather than committing to the independent appraisal of all mines in the area which Sinn Féin have called for.
Meanwhile Matt Carthy confirmed that he has also made an urgent appeal to transport Minister Shane Ross to establish an emergency fund to tackle the road issues resulting from the fallout of the recent Magheracloone mine collapses.
“Following the recent mine collapses I wrote to Minister Denis Naughten urging that a full independent appraisal of the mine network in Magheracloone be commissioned by his department. Minister Naughten replied to state that he was passing responsibility to his junior minister, Seán Kyne.
“In his response Minister Kyne continuously defers to Gyproc in terms of their own initial investigation of the recent collapse and their historical role in monitoring the subsidence risks at their own sites.
“It is not appropriate for the responsibility to monitor and appraise the risks involved to rest with the owners of the site. Concerns that this type of event was possible have been raised by many people in Magheracloone, especially those living above or nearby Gypsum’s network of mining passages, for several years. These concerns were continuously dismissed.
“It is now essential that people in the area are provided assurances that the remaining mine sites are safe. Quite frankly this assurance cannot be adequately provided by Gyproc and only be delivered through a comprehensive and independent investigation. I had called on Minister Naughten to deliver this as a matter of urgency.
“That he chose to pass the buck to his junior minister is worrying, that the junior Minister in turn appears content to allow the company involved to essentially monitor itself will be unsettling for many residents.
Matt Carthy has also confirmed that he has written to transport Minister, Shane Ross, calling on him to allocate any necessary funding to ensure that all roads in the area are fully restored. Subsequent to the Gyproc Mine Collapses, a section of the R179 has been closed resulting in unprecedented volumes of traffic being diverted via local roads throughout Magheracloone resulting in the rapid deterioration of road surfaces that were already in poor condition.
“I am aware that Monaghan County Council will be making a claim for the damage caused but an Emergency infrastructural Fund is required as a matter of urgency. This was an unprecedented event. The road maintenance budgets of Monaghan County Council are nowhere near sufficient to address the amount of remedial work required on this network of roads.
“The local roads both north and south of the R179 are now in a very dangerous condition. A combination of bad road surfaces, over grown hedgerows and increased levels of road users has left many residents worried that serious accidents are imminent.

May :: 2014 :: Oracibo.com - Food, Travel, Design and Cooking!
If we had a bucket list, a visit to the Mate` winery would have been on it!
Our first introduction to Mr. Mate´ was through his utterly delightful, funny, books about moving to and living in Tuscany; “The Hills of Tuscany” and “A Vineyard in Tuscany.” If you haven’t had the pleasure, treat yourself! I can’t tell you how many times I have re-read them.
The author grew up in Vancouver, B.C., where I was born and live and I would guess we are around the same age! Ferenc came to Canada from Hungary after the revolution when he was 10 years old, ended up in Vancouver, where he met and married Candace, a Vancouver girl who is an artist whose work appears on the winery’s bottle labels.
In our opinion, Ferenc and Candace are a Renaissance couple!
His and their story, from building sailboats, writing books about sailing and sailing various parts of the world, to deciding to settle down in Tuscany is, in my opinion, an incredible journey. Initially they lived near Montepulciano but then he developed a passion to make wine, ultimately ending up with a property in an extremely desirable location for wine growing, near Montalcino, where they rebuilt a broken down priory on the property which became their home. With guidance and encouragement from some pretty famous wine folks, they began growing 3 varieties of grapes! The icing on the cake was that before too long the Wine Spectator was rating their wines from 92 to 95 points!
My husband was thrilled to find and purchase his first bottle of Mate’ wine from an enoteca in Montalcino in 2008, he was like a kid in a candy store!
Luckily, we still had the wine because the guys at the airport wanted to search our luggage for some reason or other; you never know what may come of that! One normally doesn’t celebrate your luggage not arriving when you do, but ours got left behind in Pisa…the wine gods blessed us that day.
So…for our 22rd anniversary, a few months after our trip, we figured it would be a very good idea to celebrate by creating a special dinner to go with what we hoped would be a very special wine.
It was…the man makes damned good wine!
The wine was amazing and near the end of the dinner I said, “I wonder if we would be able to contact Ferenc by email.” We did, telling him how very much we were enjoying his wine and that we lived in Vancouver and so on. He actually got back to us, wishing us happy anniversary!
Fast Forward to May 12, 2014: We’re back in Tuscany and on the road from Panzano in Chianti heading to Montalcino for our pre-arranged visit to the Mate’ winery! Candace Mate’ was our host and showed us around the breathtakingly beautiful “paradise” they created with a hell of a lot of hard work and sweat, followed up by a wine tasting…just the three of us…in the old stone tasting room, a little piece of heaven!
I am so lucky to have married someone who has a passion for food like I do! It’s our way of nurturing each other. My husband likes the challenge of finding good, affordable wines to accompany our meals and on the weekends he always asks what’s on the menu so he can choose the appropriate wines. The two of us have become even more passionate about food and wine since our travels to Italy!
We have a list of local haunts that we have developed over the years and visit them regularly to find our goodies.
As well, we are always on the lookout for news of new happenings in the food world.
We seem to spend a huge amount of time looking for new and different ingredients to try and to cook with. And…guess what? We actually love doing this bit. I know…weird or what?
It is so exciting to discover something you have read about in a magazine or new cookbook; and bring home to try.
We seem to do this hunting and gathering no matter where we are, even on vacations and often get asked where to find certain items. We had a friend over who asked where one could find “mosto cotto”. As we just happened to have some in the kitchen purchased on our last trip to Italy, I jokingly said Panzano in Chianti! So, you see…it is such fun to be able to unearth something and then let the person know where to find what they are looking for.

I fell in love with this “headboard” when I saw this photo in a decorating magazine a few years ago. Not being a fan of “country furniture,” I was surprised how much I liked it! It appears to be a reclaimed archway that would have been over a rather grand entrance. When I found the photo recently while purging homework from my decorating classes, I thought it would be fun to put together my version of a Swedish Gustavian bedroom based on this headboard that reminds me so much of that style. Here we go!
Swedish Gustavian style began in 1771 and takes its name from the Swedish monarch Gustav III. It’s a paired down version of French Neoclassicism that features an airy, delicate colour palette of toned shades of pale grey, soft blues, off-white and cream. The furnishings can also be gilded. The style is a simpler restrained design with clean lines, using less rich materials and a lighter colour palette than in France. The fabrics mostly used were linen, raw silk; the patterns were usually checks and a light floral pattern. Huge mirrors were used to maximize light and lighting included crystal chandeliers. It’s a style that is timeless, not fussy and remains a popular decorating style that works well in our modern world.
This style is light and airy with a colour scheme that includes soft greys such as Benjamin Moore’s HC172 for the walls, OC60 for any trim. The chest of drawers and night tables are painted cream, using Benjamin Moore’s CC100 which contrasts nicely against the headboard. A touch of light smoky blue accessories would work well too.
Placing two of these stools at the foot of the bed would look fantastic! They could be upholstered using a linen type fabric in a neutral tone. To keep the look light and airy, simple window panels of linen or raw silk in light neutral tones would be a good choice. Because the headboard is such a dramatic focal point of the room, the other furnishings should be a light colour. The distressed mirror mimics the look of the headboard.
The fabrics used in this style are natural ones like linen and cotton and a checked pattern is representative of Gustavian style. This duvet cover fabric goes very well with the décor chosen. I would add some pale grey or white sheets and perhaps a throw that is a darker grey or light smoky blue to finish dressing the bed. The chandelier brings sparkle and bling to the room!
Of course, we all can’t be running around buying antique furniture! But if one keeps in mind the motif’s of Gustavian furniture, derived from the Adam style, like laurel wreaths, garlands, medallions and the rosettes you see on Louis XVI furniture, the shapes of furniture and furnishings from that period, you can find pieces that will give you the feel of this style.
Ever since Elizabeth Minchelli posted a photo on Facebook taken one night while having dinner at St. John, of what the table next to theirs had ordered; a whole roasted suckling pig and the comments the photo engendered, I wanted to make a response.
We are not vegetarians. We eat a lot of vegetarian meals. We love just about all vegetables.
But…we do eat meat, poultry and seafood.
A good cook (someone who can dignify the animal and all those whose labours led it to this table).
I think that about says it all!
P.S.: The bistecca in the photo is from Macelleria Cecchini!

Do you want to increase your odds of getting an interview? The solution is simple: network.
The New York Times highlighted the news that employers (such as Ernst & Young) are ramping up their employee referral hiring. Why? Simple, according to a Mr. Nash of Ernst & Young, “Our analysis shows referred hires perform better, stay longer and are quicker to integrate into our teams.” To support Mr. Nash’s analysis, Giorgio Topa, one of the authors of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York study, also referenced in the NYTimes article, states referred employees are 15 percent less likely to quit.
So why are you still throwing your resume in the pile without getting a referral? Could it be because you don’t think you know anyone? Think again.
Social networks enable us to stay connected in this ever-changing and transitioning world, despite changes in jobs, companies, telephone numbers, and email addresses. Social networks are also changing how hiring and business gets done, making it easier and more cost effective for companies to source candidates. But by no means are they a magic wand or replacement for good old fashioned face-to-face networking. Seize opportunities to strengthen new or old relationships by reaching out with a phone call or email. Try using the tools mentioned below to find someone inside a company!
Start your outreach with people who know you best. They are more likely to advocate for you or put in the extra time and effort to introduce you to someone you should know.
Don’t overlook the hidden job market- those opportunities that never publicly posted. In order to find these gems, you will have to look beyond job postings and identify companies. You want to beat the competition, so please stop chasing jobs as your primary search method!
A tool is nothing if the user isn’t using it correctly or appropriately. You will need strong communication and interpersonal skills to leverage your network.
Search for people inside companies.
Learn the different ways to connect with someone.
Send a customized invitation to connect.
Jackalope Jobs – Find jobs using Jackalope Jobs unique job posting aggregator and then the tool will help you identify the best people to connect you to those opportunities. If you link your LinkedIn, Facebook, and Plaxo profiles, you’ll have a wide assortment of people who can help refer you for a job posting. The advantage of using this tool is that you only need to log into one platform to find jobs and reach out to helpful connections.
Career Sonar – Career Sonar also uses job postings and matches them with your connections. You specify the jobs and companies you are interested in and CareerSonar scans your social and professional networks (LinkedIn and Facebook), matching the employment history of everyone you know with the jobs it finds across the Web.
SimplyHired – Known first as a job board, SimplyHired aggregates job postings from various job boards. When you use their social network integration, your LinkedIn connections are matched with the jobs you are interested in to help you find people inside those companies.

Monster’s BeKnown Facebook application – BeKnown is an application on Facebook that allows you to search and connect similar to LinkedIn. Of course it connects with Monster’s job postings as well.
BranchOut Facebook application – BranchOut had an early lead in this manipulation of Facebook data and connections. Their application allows you to find and connect with people based on the professional work history listed in their Facebook profile. But because many people view Facebook as a personal network, many users have not included their work history in their profiles.
Goalee – By far the better NETWORKING tool, Goalee helps you tap into your LinkedIn and Facebook networks to find people who work at companies, finds things in common and provides talking points and a customizable message you can send to connect. This message focuses on a reciprocal approach to connecting, by giving you hints on what value the other person might find in connecting with you.
Conclusion – Can’t beat them? Join them!
If you read the New York Times article mentioned above, then you may have also noticed over 300 comments; many of which cite the unfairness in employers’ hiring practices and the frustration associated with the job application process. We all agree, the system has some flaws, but with a little flexing, job seekers can and must adjust to the changing trends. As the saying goes, if you can’t beat them, join them.

In 1835, after leaving South America, the Beagle sailed to the Galapagos Islands, about thirteen small islands six hundred miles from South America, near the Equator. There he saw many unique creatures found only on those islands, but similar to those on the mainland. Among these were marine iguanas and giant tortoises, which Darwin and the Beagle crew rode like horses. Not only were the animals different from those anywhere else on earth, many species had differences depending on which island they came from. For example, the Galapagos natives could tell from which island a tortoise came by the shape of its shell.
On the Galapagos Islands, Darwin also saw several different types of finch, a different species on each island. He noticed that each finch species had a different type of beak, depending on the food available on its island. The finches that ate large nuts had strong beaks for breaking the nuts open. Finches that ate small nuts and seeds had beaks for cracking nuts and seeds. Darwin noticed that fruit-eating finches had parrot-like beaks, and that finches that ate insects had narrow, prying beaks. He wrote: "One might really fancy that from an original paucity [scarcity] of birds ... one species had been taken and modified for different ends."
Later, Darwin concluded that several birds from one species of finch had probably been blown by storm or otherwise separated to each of the islands from one island or from the mainland. The finches had to adapt to their new environments and food sources. They gradually evolved into different species.

J. F. Kennedy tried to stop them! and look what they did to him.
Oh, he was an outdated racist slaveowner, so little of what he says is relevant to the here and now. His quotes were only meaningful talking points when Bush was president.
IMHO- Jeffferson's thought apply to the entire financial system. "Too big to fail" is utter economic and financial nonsense.
While the founding fathers did have great principals, we do need to realize that it was a different time and a different world. We have to be careful about putting them on such a high pedestal that we don't question how their beliefs fit in a modern world.
That's actually a misquote, a pretty popular one for far libertarian wingnuts. His true quote was about banks existing that were independent of governmental control and actively taking hostile actions towards policy of the government it didn't agree with if it gets too large (especially to waging war).
"I observe an idea of establishing a branch bank of the United States in New Orleans. This institution is one of the most deadly hostility existing against the principles and form of our Constitution. The nation is at this time so strong and united in its sentiments that it cannot be shaken at this moment. But suppose a series of untoward events should occur sufficient to bring into doubt the competency of a republican government to meet a crisis of great danger, or to unhinge the confidence of the people in the public functionaries; an institution like this, penetrating by its branches every part of the union, acting by command and in phalanx may, in a critical moment, upset the government. I deem no government safe which is under the vassalage of any self-constituted authorities, or any other authority than that of the nation or its regular functionaries. What an obstruction could not this Bank of the United States, with al its branch banks, be in time of war! It might dictate to us the peace we should accept, or withdraw its aids. Ought we then to give further growth to an institution so powerful, so hostile?"
What doesn't apply now that applied then? Because technology is different nowadays that somehow minimizes the foundation we were built upon?
Your inability to distinguish Jeffersons thoughts on central banking is YOUR failing not others. Jefferson wrote many times about the cons of a central bank. Your quote was just one of many. That does not mean it was ONLY about wartime issues.
We are completely saddled and bridled, and the bank is so firmly mounted on us that we must go where they ill guide.
The dominion which the banking institutions have obtained over the minds of our citizens...must be broken, or it will break us."
"Give me control of a nation's money supply, and I care not who makes its laws." - Mayer Amschel Rothschild, founder of Rothschild Banking Dynasty.
That "it's a different world" rhetoric is one of the lamest excuses I've seen, for the laziest of minds.

Updated: Nov. 15, 2017 at 02:04 p.m.
It was two days after the most difficult day in the pocket of his career. Dak Prescott was sacked eight times in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, with Adrian Clayborn registering a whopping six of them. Undeterred and ready to move on to this week's game against the Eagles, Prescott was asked how his body is holding up after the physical punishment.
"Oh, physically, I'm fine," Prescott told NFL.com by phone on Tuesday, moments after ringing the Salvation Army Bell in Tostitos Championship Plaza at The Star. "I played this game of football since I was eight years old and I've had games like that. They're not very fun. But I take care of my body, and am ready to get back this week."
The focus this week? "Getting back to basics and helping this team," he said.
Prescott was sacked eight times, twice as much as his game-high from last year against the Redskins. The rough day came without running back Ezekiel Elliott, who served the first game of his six-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.
But Prescott was under duress all game in part because franchise left tackle Tyron Smith was out because of back and groin injuries. Smith won't practice on Wednesday, but I'm told the team is "hopeful" he plays Sunday night. Coach Jason Garrett told reporters they should've given fill-in Chaz Free more help.
Either way, the second-year Cowboys QB says there were lessons to be learned. As he looks forward to Sunday's rivalry game against the high-flying Eagles, he knows it can't be the same story in the pocket.
The Eagles are in the top half of the league in sacks, so the challenge will be similar to the one he faced against Atlanta.
"We learned a lot from last week," said Prescott, who was 20 of 30 for 176 yards. "It was a tough game in the protection, as you saw, it was obvious."
Prescott made sure it wasn't just his offensive line that received the brunt of the attention.
"Some of the receivers got to do a better job of getting open faster," he said. "I've got to do a better job of getting the ball out of my hand. So it wasn't just all on the protection. It was a team loss, and everybody played a part."
Before he shifted the focus to football, Prescott spoke at a promotional event for his partnership with the Salvation Army and Tostitos, which debut a bite-size yellow corn chip that Prescott called his "new favorite game-day snack."
Asked why he chose this partnership to focus on, Prescott said it was an easy call.
"Who else better than the Salvation Army to team up with during the holiday season?" he said. "It's a great organization, and they do a great job of giving back directly to the individuals that need it. With every purchase, Tostitos will make that donation to the Salvation Army and give everyone a chance to give back to the less fortunate. It's an organization where you guarantee it's going directly to the people who need it."

The very first 3D-printed car to cross the auction block is a sight to behold.
You are looking at one of the first 3D-printed cars in the world, a non-running vehicle that was auctioned without a reserve earlier this week during the 2017 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale event organized in Arizona. The creator’s source of inspiration was a 1971 Ford Torino reinterpreted with a rather polarizing design. Someone did appreciate the peculiar styling by agreeing to pay $5,500 to own it.
The unusual showcar represents the work of Ioan Florea, a Romanian artist who attended the Academy of Fine Arts and moved to United States. He used an industrial-size 3D printer developed for experimental purposes and to create nonfunctional art objects, as it was the case with this Torino.
According to the author, the car’s one-of-a-kind body is a “fusion of liquid metal and nano- and ultra-light materials.” He goes on to specify it “uses additive technology in the form of 3D-printed shapes to reflect light and give the car balance between the organic and geometric shapes.” Florea mentions his 2013 creation symbolizes the transition between the second industrial revolution (during which Henry Ford introduced the assembly line) and the third industrial revolution of 3D printing, currently in progress.
While the Torino is not functional, Honda’s 3D-printed Micro Commuter EV unveiled in October last year can actually be driven, but sadly there are not any plans at the moment to put it into production.
Even motorcycles are being 3D-printed nowadays, with the most recent example being the Divergent Dagger derived from the Kawasaki H2. This isn’t the first one, though. The electric Light Rider launched in March 2016 is billed as being the first 3D-printed motorcycle in the world and it’s actually functional. Not only that, but it’s going into limited production of just 50 units available for $56,000 a pop.

Lyn Johnson, Director of Maintenance for Gaughan Flying for the last 29 years, has done business with the Duncan Aviation Las Vegas Satellite Shop since it opened in 1995.Additionally, Lyn has been friends with Duncan Aviation’s Engine Tech Rep Bill Walker from Battle Creek, Michigan, for nearly 15 years.
Lyn and Bill have been friends for years. Before coming to work at Duncan Aviation in 2004, Bill was an engine mechanic for a company near his home in Granite City, Illinois, where Lyn took his Challenger for maintenance. After moving to Duncan Aviation as an Engine Tech Rep, Lyn and Bill have maintained contact and their professional friendship. Lyn considers Bill a CF34 guru, and Bill continues to do the engine work for the Challenger 850 SE.
In early 2017, Bill and two Engine Techs, Team Leader Jeff Lowery and Tech Dave Cordova from the Scottsdale, Arizona, Rapid Response Team performed a borescope on the Challenger’s CF34s, also in its own hangar in Las Vegas.
Bill is always happy to get together with Lyn to talk and work on the Challenger’s engines.
"Everything works as advertised,just like everything Duncan Aviation does." -Lyn Johnson, DOM, Gaughan Flying. Read more about this project in the Spring 2017 Duncan Debrief Magazine.

You always celebrate the birthday of your child and you want it to be special. Sometimes you cannot decide on what theme of the party will be. You can’t decide if you should have the party at another location or have it at home. Birthday parties nowadays are themed on unique and original ideas. If you are one of those moms who like to create a birthday party for children and guests to remember it forever. Then, these 10 unique ideas for your child’s party will give you the most memorable one.
Bring the kids on a cruise with their mom or dad with them by renting a sailboat to enjoy the open sea. Prepare pack lunches or finger foods. Children would love to see the dolphins (if there are!) or go fishing. They can take pictures as they enjoy the adventure.
Set up a space in your house where the children can show-off their talents by hosting an American Idol contest for Kids. Prepare CDs with kids’ music that are popular and provide them with a microphone. The kids can sing and dance in front of their friends and after the performance he/she will be given a goody bag.
Buy some pre-made ceramic figurines for children to paint the way they like it. They can bring home their creation as a remembrance from the birthday party.
The children will join you to bake sweets and cakes and will be supervised with the help of their parents. This will make the children happy and excited as they involved themselves in baking.
This theme is for both boys and girls and they can share fun ideas of what pirates do. Make the children play treasure hunting and can watch pirate movies.
This superhero themed party offers a lot of games or activities. Children will go to the party dressed in their favorite superhero costumes. Decorations will be taken from comic books. Games will be drawing competitions and obstacle courses.
Girls want to have fun and a slumber party idea is a cool theme in a makeover party. Prepare a face powder, lipstick, eye shadow, nail polishes, etc. Each girl will write their name on a chit and put it a trendy bowl. Each girl will then take turns to pick out the names of the person that they will do a makeover with. To have a remembrance of this activity, it is best to take pictures before and after the makeover.
Kids would enjoy creating their own bracelets or necklaces. Purchase strings and beads at a craft store. Set a table where the kids can create their own adorable piece of jewelry. Once they have finished making one, they can bring this home as a remembrance.
Theme parks have a birthday party area where you can have your activity. To make the birthday more exciting, let the kids enjoy riding while their parents take pictures of them to keep as a souvenir of the party.
An outdoor party will be best for energetic kids and there will be lots of games that they will surely love. One fantastic game will be the water balloon battle where kids are divided into two teams and will have watery war by using the water balloon launchers. They will find this game irresistible because kids love to play with water.
Setting up a children’s party is a very noble thing that you can do for your child. Making the birthday simple yet memorable is more important than having it in an extravagantly but unappreciated way. These party ideas will definitely be a good set of choices especially if you really know the personality of your child.

An annuity is a product which provides an income for life. In fact, it guarantees an income for life. When you buy an annuity you are essentially paying for a sum of cash to be paid to you at regular intervals after you retire and until you die.
To buy an annuity you need to have been paying money into a pension fund whilst you have been earning an income during your working years. Upon reaching retirement you will have built up a pension pot and this can be used to buy an annuity.
You can buy your annuity from the company which provided your pension. Or you can go elsewhere, to another provider, where you might find better rates.
How they work and who they are for?
Although an annuity is connected with pensions, it is often considered to come under the insurance umbrella. This is because you are effectively buying yourself financial cover for your retirement. As such, a number of factors will be taken into consideration by your annuity provider when calculating the sum you will receive.
Your age and gender will be considered. And the provider will also look at your health and lifestyle because the rate you will receive is largely based on your life expectancy.
How your annuity is paid depends on your circumstances. If you would like your partner to benefit from your annuity after you die you can buy a joint-life annuity, if you want to be the sole beneficiary – you can buy a single-life annuity. You can also buy annuities which pay more as you get older, or which pay set amounts at different stages in your retired life.
Statistically, women live longer than men. So with a higher life expectancy females are more likely to receive a lower income from their annuity. As well as gender, your age could also lower your income.
A joint-life annuity, whilst giving peace of mind that your dependants are covered should you die, comes with a price and is more expensive than a single-life scheme. If you are not married or in a civil partnership you should check with your provider to ensure your partner will benefit.
Some annuities are not very flexible and if prices increase, rates could reduce. For this reason it’s really important to check details of annuities before you buy them and even seek help from a financial adviser to guarantee the product you buy suits your needs.
It is advisable to start thinking about your annuity several months before you retire and begin scouring the market for the best deal. As mentioned, a financial adviser will be able to provide you with help on which type of annuity to buy. You might be happy buying it from the provider of your pension. However, if you decide to go with the open market option and buy your annuity from another company, you will need to transfer your pension to that firm first.

Recently, I received a sample of whole grain flours and mixes from King Arthur Flour, some of which were gluten-free, including their Gluten-Free Baking Mix, Gluten-Free Whole Grain Mix, and Gluten-Free Ancient Grain Mix. The first gluten-free recipe I came up with using King Arthur Flour’s Gluten-Free Flour Mixes were a stash of fluffy Gluten/Dairy/Egg-Free Pancakes.
Today, I came across a recipe for Mocha Muffins on Joy of Baking, and knew immediately I had to try converting this recipe to a Gluten/Dairy/Egg Free Mocha Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe. I’ve found that whole grain flours work best with heartier muffins, not the ones that are usually lighter and whiter. I’ve made pumpkin, carrot, and banana muffins using gluten-free whole grain flour blends, and they’ve all come out great, so I suspected that Mocha Chocolate Chip Muffins would work really nicely with the gluten-free whole grain flour blends.
I made a number of adjustments to make this Mocha Chocolate Chip Muffin allergy-friendly, including substituting ground flax seed for the eggs, coconut yogurt for the buttermilk, a mashed banana for half of the oil,King Arthur Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Mixfor the white flour, and King Arthur’s Gluten-Free Whole Grain Mix for the whole wheat flour. I also used unrefined coconut sugar in place of the brown sugar.
These Mocha Chocolate Chip Muffins came out so moist and chocolately, I was amazed. They did not taste at all like gluten-free muffins, which sometimes have a grainy texture. I think the cocoa and chocolate chips smoothed out the texture perhaps. My kids loved them and couldn’t believe they were gluten-free. In fact, my little guy gobbled one up pronto and was quick to show me the empty muffin liner and said, “See how good it was, I ate it up so quickly!” That’s the ultimate feedback – I know I’ve got a winner when my little guy gives it an enthusiastic thumbs up!
In a small bowl, combine ground flax seed and water together. Let sit for 2-3 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine flax seed mixture, coconut yogurt, olive oil, mashed banana, coffee, and vanilla extract.
In a large bowl, combine the All-Purpose Baking Mix and Whole Grain Mix together, along with the cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour wet ingredients into bowl of dry ingredients, and mix until just combined – do not overmix.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean.
Okay, that's what I want for breakfast. Healthy, and chocolate! Do you deliver to Rhode Island???
These muffins sound so delicious and look moist. I need to make a batch of these for breakfast to go with my morning cup of coffee. Yummy!
oh my gluten free healthy chocolate mocha muffins sound amazing!!! i am totally bookmarking this!
I love all the ingredients! Yum!
chocolate mocha!! these look perfect!.. i just started experimenting with gf baking.. and these will definitely keep my experimentation going!!
These muffins turned out really moist and chocolatey – you'd never know they were gluten-free. All my kids loved them!
You had me at Mocha. Seriously, these look fabulous – light, moist and absolutely delicious!
Jeanette, these muffins look moist & yummy. I love anything mocha & GF even better!
Fantastic, Jeanette! It's a little cooler today so I'm getting back into muffin mode. Well, I've never gotten out of wanting to eat muffins, but baking them was another matter. 😉 GF baked goods should never, ever be grainy. I've only tried King Arthur products once, but I think they got it right in terms of having finely ground flour and baking mixes. That is key. Such a lovely flavor combo!
These are gorgeous. I could just rip into one right now.
Jeanette these look so moist and tasty, which is not super typical of gluten free, dairy free muffins. Definitely worth giving these a try!
I think the combination of high quality flours, yogurt, olive oil, and the chocolate chips all contributed to the moistness in these muffins. If you don't have coconut sugar, feel free to substitute your favorite sweetener. I try to use unprocessed sugars in my baking whenever possible. I'm not sure how to substitute splenda or stevia for sugar. Agave nectar is sweeter than sugar, so I would use less if you're substituting for sugar. If anyone tries these sweeteners, would love to hear how these muffins turn out.
I haven't eaten a chocolate muffin in forever but they have always been my favorite (weird because I'm usually such a vanilla girl). I love that these are semi guilt-free with all of those whole grains!
Chocolate, coffee, gluten-free, vegan, and made with So Delicious Coconut Milk Yogurt? I am all over these! They look insanely delicious!!!!
Another one of those gluten free stuff that will add up to my long line list. This is great for my diet program.
Wow, these look incredible, Jeanette!
I made these today but mine weren’t gluten free, still yummy though! …but…is it not good that I ate 1/4 of this recipe…all within an hour?
I’m glad you liked these Kathy – I keep a batch in the freezer and just pull out one at a time for my son.
These look fantastic. How can you go wrong mixing chocolate and coffee and coconut?! A perfect combination!
Thanks Ellen – I agree, can’t go wrong with this combination of rich flavors.

On Friday night the Laurier Golden Hawks Men’s Basketball team made their highly anticipated return to the court after a six-week holiday hiatus. The Golden Hawks opened their first game of 2019 at the Athletic Complex Gym against the McMaster Marauders, but unfortunately fell short with a final score of 79-67.
The Marauders came into the game with a defensive fire that challenged the Hawks offence and they were only able to score 13 points in the first quarter. Although offensive delivery was an issue for the Hawks, defensively they had 20 turnovers and 13 steals, but were unsuccessful at converting those opportunities to steer them toward a game win.
“We struggled the whole game to get our groove in and getting ball movement like we did in the first half of the season. That trickled down into us exposing ourselves defensively because at the end of the game we didn’t really have any option but to trap and put us at risk,” head coach Justin Serresse said.
With no time to be upset the Golden Hawks had a quick turnaround and were on the road to Windsor ON where they redeemed themselves in an 88-79 victory against the University of Windsor Lancers.
It was the efforts of Sow who brought down the house with five straight points and a set-up for Matt Minutillo to sink a three.
The Hawks only hit 34 percent from the floor, and 21 percent from the three that Friday night.
“The guys were getting frustrated because we weren’t making shots, but that’s just not what we do, we don’t try to get frustrated from those shots, we try to find solutions and give each other confidence,” Serresse said. Second year Ali Sow, who is no stranger to a heavy offensive output, played all 40 minutes and put up a game-high 29 points. Ntore Habimana followed Snow scoring 14 points that game.
In the second half of the third quarter Laurier was able to close the gap by one point, but the Marauders turned the heat up and played both effectively and aggressively, resulting in an 11-point lead by the end of the third. Unfortunately the Golden Hawks were unable to turn things around in the fourth, and took a loss on their home court. With no time to be upset the Golden Hawks had a quick turnaround and were on the road to Windsor ON where they redeemed themselves in an 88-79 victory against the University of Windsor Lancers.
In the first quarter, the Hawks had a huge 18-point lead with their lead not dropping below 15 points during the second and third quarters. During the fourth, the Lancers stepped up their game and had a comeback down the stretch resulting in the score closing to 78-74 with three minutes left of game play. It was the efforts of Sow who brought down the house with five straight points and a set-up for Matt Minutillo to sink a three.
The Golden Hawks will be playing this Wednesday Jan. 9 in the Athletic Complex Gym. Tip off for the women is at 6 p.m., and men is at 8 p.m.

The Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber has published an in-depth article about continuing problems and concerns with the new ferry Chetzemoka and its sister ships in the Kwa-di Tabil (nicknamed the “I-Lean”) class.
“A ferry engineer, meanwhile, has directly countered several of the state’s claims about the ferries. In his own August letter to Smith, Alex Zecha, chief engineer on the Salish, one of the Chetzemoka’s sister ships, criticized several aspects of the boats’ design as well as their poor fuel efficiency. He said the boats lean more than WSF expected and claims the state has already investigated how much it would cost to correct it.
“ ‘This is not a very commendable state of affairs, particularly considering the difficulties faced in recent state budgets,’ Zecha writes.
“Some also question the way the Chetzemoka performs on the water. Nelson, who rides the boat when she commutes to Olympia, said she, like many Islanders, has seen the boat make large sweeps as it crosses the short channel, and she’s concerned about why.

In early August, Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton sent a letter to David Moseley, Assistant Secretary of Transportation. In the letter she expressed several concerns about the design and durability of the new 64-car ferries. She received a response from WSF on August 17, but is still not satisfied. She has requested a face-to-face meeting with Mr. Moseley which will also be attended by Rep. Larry Seaquist, D-Gig Harbor. He is a former U.S. Navy warship captain who also has many questions about these ferries.
A full article about this recent development is available here, on the HeraldNet site.

On August 1, Rep. Norma Smith (R-Whidbey Island) sent a letter to State Secretary of Transportation Paula Hammond and David Moseley (WSDOT Ferries Division Assistant Secretary) asking nearly two dozen questions about concerns related to issues with the design of these ferries. An article discussing the letter can be accessed here. It states that Hammond hopes to have a response for Smith as early as next week.

“The state ferry Chetzemoka, after only a year in service, has cracked propellers, potentially from improperly cast stainless steel.
“State Rep. Larry Seaquist, D-Gig Harbor, touring Dakota Creek Industries in Anacortes Friday, noticed the 64-car ferry on a lift with its props off and asked what happened.
Washington State desperately needs to modernize its aging fleet of ferry boats: nine of the 20 boats in the fleet must be replaced within the next 20 years. The Chetzemoka is the first in a series of three new 64-car ferries to be built. In theory, the Kwa-di Tabil Class boats were to be built from an “off-the-shelf” design, greatly reducing cost and time required to build them. But the Chetzemoka ended up being the most expensive ferry ever built in the US: extensive changes to the specifications by WSF resulted in the boats being essentially first-of-its-kind design; a drafting error by WSF cost the taxpayers $1 million to fix; and issues with excessive engine vibration, under-designed rub rails, and a malfunctioning pump have put the Chetzemoka into drydock several times since its launch.
All of these issues have contributed to the high cost of building and maintaining the Chetzemoka, but more importantly, point out serious flaws in the process of designing and building new ferry boats, and the lack of transparency and accountability in that process. Along with securing a stable funding source for capital projects it seems essential that the process by which new boats are designed, built, and operated must become more efficient and accountable.

A question that’s come up among members of this group and during the FCP meeting earlier this month relates to the legislation requiring that ferries be built in state by Washington firms. Initially people expressed concern that the cost of the Chetzemoka, the ferry recently built by Todd Shipyard was excessive, due to the fact that just one firm bid to build this ferry and two sister ships. Now it’s highly likely that Todd Shipyard will be sold to a firm based on Oregon. If this transaction does take place, what impact will it have on the contracts for the remaining two ferries? And, if the only firm that bid on these recent contracts leaves the state, who bids on future projects?
The announcement of the pending acquisition can be read here.

A former company boss convicted in a large-scale fraud case has won his appeal against a judgement which said his criminal benefit was £1.3million.
Schools, charities and businesses in Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex were duped out of thousands of pounds in what Ipswich Crown Court was told was a £1m telecoms fraud.
In 2011 the boss of Great Yarmouth-based Business Telecom Ltd, Christopher Boughton-Fox, and his sales manager, Jonathan Parrish, were both found guilty of conspiracy to defraud customers over a five-year period from 2003.
Boughton-Fox, 52, of Yarmouth Road, Thorpe St Andrew, was jailed for seven years and Parrish, of The Hills, Reedham, received five-and-a-half years’ imprisonment.
In March 2012 at a proceeds of crime hearing the crown court heard Boughton-Fox’s benefit from his crime amounted to £1.3m. At the time his assets came to £179,000 and a confiscation order was made for that amount.
However, Boughton-Fox contested the amounts and has taken the matter to the Court of Appeal where judges agreed the order was incorrect.
A judgment was made in his favour reducing the benefit figure to £7,900. Accordingly the confiscation order has also been reduced to £7,900.
During a 10-week trial Ipswich Crown Court heard salesmen from Business Telecom Ltd persuaded customers to sign contracts for new telephone systems.
Although they were told a cashback scheme meant the phones were free, customers were signing up for expensive leasing agreements typically costing between £10,000 and £35,000 over seven or more years.
Among the schools, companies and organisations which were conned were Rattlesden Primary School, West Row Primary School, and Pot Kiln Primary School, Sudbury.

text: Governor Haslam presented his FY 2012-13 budget recommendations to the General Assembly on Jan. 30. Below is a summary of some items pertinent to Tennessee Board of Regents institutions.Operating Funds - Recurring• A recurring state funding reduction of $12.1 million is recommended, equal to 2.1% of current state appropriations. This reduction is significantly less than the 5% reduction that higher education institutions were notified might be possible in Fall 2011. • Recurring funding of $14.9 million is recommended to recognize improvement in educational outcomes at TBR institutions. Measures of these outcomes include number of degrees and certificates awarded, student retention and progression points, research and service efforts, workforce training activities, and graduation rates.• Recurring funding of $17.2 million is recommended for a 2.5% salary increase for state employees, including employees of the higher education systems. The state funding recommended is based on the higher education funding formula, meaning that institutions would be responsible for funding approximately $10.1 million toward the cost of the 2.5% salary increase. • Premiums for the health insurance program are expected to increase in CY 2013. Recurring funding of $2.5 million is provided to partially fund the employer share of this increase.• Recurring funding of $476,300 is recommended to meet increased employee retirement contributions to the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System.Operating Funds – Non Recurring• Non recurring state funding of $10.0 million in FY 2012-13 is recommended to address the impact of the second year of the phase out of the old THEC enrollment formula’s hold harmless provision. This funding benefits institutions losing funds from the hold harmless phase out by providing additional time to adjust to the new planned recurring funding level. As a reminder, the Administration and legislature provided $15.0 million in FY 2011-12 for this purpose and have expressed an intent to provide funding of $5.0 million in FY 2013-14 to fully carry out this transition plan. Of the $10.0 million recommended for FY 2012-13, $9.2 million accrues to the benefit of TBR institutions.• Non recurring state funding of $4.0 million is recommended to support operations of the Lambuth Campus of the University of Memphis. This is the second year of a five year transition period.Capital Outlay. • Full funding of $126,650,000 is recommended for the MTSU Science Building. The Governor’s recommendation envisions a non-state fund match for this project of $18,750,000 and is consistent with the action taken by THEC in submitting TBR’s proposed capital plan.• Authorization is provided for planning activities on the next five (5) TBR capital priorities, namely: o Nashville State’s Academic & Support Building; o Northeast State’s Technical Education Complex; o UoM’s Biochemistry & Biology Building; o Volunteer State’s Humanities Building; and o Columbia State’s Williamson County Campus.The planning activities authorized would be funded from matching funds to be provided by institutions from non-state sources.Capital Maintenance. • Funding of $39.9 million is recommended for TBR institutions. This recommendation captures the system’s first 33 capital maintenance projects. The recommendation for the TBR System includes $800,000 to fund ADA projects.

Before: Mary at the Reference desk called and said "There's a man here who wants to meet you and donate his book." Michael Stedman presented me with a copy for the Thomas Crane Public Library and we chatted for about 20 minutes. Soon after he left my office I purchased the Kindle version to take on my vacation. Why would someone as thrifty as I purchase a book when I had a copy in hand? Because I read the reviews on Amazon, and then Mr. Stedman's biography. I'll post here and on Goodreads when I've finished it but I'm really looking forward to an exciting read!
After: I finished the book (Kindle edition but Goodreads doesn't have an option for it on this title) on vacation in Arkansas and enjoyed it a lot. The hero is almost unbelievably good while also painfully vulnerable, so the outcome is always in question. I recommend this one.

In order to make a cylinder really sharp as well as to keep it sharp for as long as possible, it should be sharpened so that the edge obtains a convex shape with the correct angle. SharpX CYLINDER achieves this through a patent pending technique with elastic diamond-coated blades or "fingers". When the rotating cylinder is brought into the rotating grinding head, the "fingers" will bend into the correct angle and sharpen the cylinder into the desired form and the edge will always remain correct.
When the rotating blade is brought into the grinding head, the two rollers will move towards the coil springs. At the same time the elastic diamond-coated "fingers" are bent into the desired convex form which gives the edge a superior sharpness and durability, compared to conventional grinding methods. The rotating diamond-coated grinding head sharpens the blade easily and quickly and with the correct angle on both sides simultaneously.
SharpX CYLINDER polishes the blade by means of a separate drive unit, giving the edge the correct angle and optimum sharpness.
SHARPX develops and manufactures equipment used in meat and fish industries as well as other areas of food industries, shops, restaurants and for consumer needs.
In recent years, intensive development has taken place for the development and manufacture of new knife sharpening system with patented SharpX technology.
