The family of a woman who died as a result of being left outside in the scalding July heat for several hours is suing the Port St. Lucie assisted living facility where the incident blamed for her death occurred.
After suffering heat stroke and severe burns at The Harbor Place at Port St. Lucie, Kathleen "Kay" Menard died almost three months later.
"We filed this lawsuit this morning in what we believe is a case of outrageous neglect at a nearby assisted-living facility where a wonderful woman essentially burned to death due to a facility not keeping any tabs on her and allowing her to bake outside in the summer heat for many, many hours," Scott Fischer, an attorney with Gordon & Doner, Palm Beach Gardens, who represents the family, said Thursday.
The wrongful death lawsuit filed against Port St. Lucie Retirement Investors LLC doing business as The Harbor Place at Port St. Lucie was brought on behalf of Menard’s estate and her son and daughter, Joseph Menard and Maria Gryner.
Menard, 97, a widow and former homemaker in Stuart, had resided at The Harbor Place for more than nine years. After breakfast on July 5, 2017, she drove her electric scooter into the courtyard to read her Bible. At some point, she fell off the scooter to the ground.
"Kay was 97 and as feisty and ornery as she had ever been in her life before this happened," her daughter Maria Gryner said Thursday. "She always had a fall risk, and that is why we had her in assisted living."
"This didn’t have to happen. She didn’t have a heart attack. She didn’t have a stroke. It was the heat. In this day and age in Florida, one would think people would make sure their residents aren’t burning to death," Gryner said.
After being found in the courtyard approximately six hours later by the family of another resident, Menard was found lying on the ground and unconscious. She was rushed to St. Lucie Medical Center where her temperature was 105.7 degrees. Menard was found to have severe burns on her body and to have suffered from heat stroke resulting in sepsis — in infection in the bloodsteam, the lawsuit states.
"She could not survive this catastrophic heat event, and she died on September 29, 2017," the lawsuit states.
A manager at Harbor Place declined to comment Thursday.
Tampa-based Ullman Bursa Law, which Fischer said represents Harbor Place, did not return a phone call requesting comment.
Cleveland, Tenn.-based Life Care Centers of America operates or manages more than 200 skilled nursing, rehabilitation, Alzheimer’s and senior living campuses in 28 states, including Harbor Place.
"At Harbor Place at Port St. Lucie, providing compassionate care to our residents while ensuring they receive the utmost respect, dignity and independence is our highest priority," said Leigh Atherton, director of public relations for Life Care. "We take any allegation to the contrary seriously. We will not discuss specifics of any individual as it would violate the privacy rights of that resident."
Fischer said Menard had fallen at least 14 times at the facility, including a previous fall in the courtyard, and the staff knew she needed supervision. The family trusted the facility, but instead of doing its job, the staff failed to keep her safe, he said.
"But the worst thing was never checking on her at all. Where was the head count? Where was the accountability?" Fischer asked.
Mennard’s death certificate lists her cause of death as a fall from her scooter, heat stroke and severe burns on her feet.
After being discharged from the hospital after a few days, Menard never returned to her previous healthy condition. She went back to to Harbor Place briefly, then was placed in a skilled nursing facility owned by the same company.
Gryner said, "She was in horrific pain. She used to scream when they would come to change her bandages. It literally broke your heart to see her like that. The dementia she had afterwards was ten-fold. She was like a little child."
But after her hospital stay, she did manage to tell a staff member of the assisted-living facility, "You didn’t have to leave me like that."
"She said she called and called for help and no one came," Gryner said. "I’m angry. I’m frustrated. I don’t feel like she should have had to suffer like that at all….If someone had found her, she would have been fine."
Menard’s son Joseph Menard said he and his wife had lunch with his mother on July 4, and she was doing well. Always dressed "to the nines" including a white suit, makeup, scarves and jewelry, she wolfed down a hamburger, chicken and corn-on-the-cob.
She and her family thought she would live to be 100, Menard said.
The lawsuit seeks wrongful death damages in excess of $15,000.

True singer-songwriter original songs in the tradition of The Beatles, Todd Rundgren, CSNY and Stevie Wonder from the guitarist and singer for Michael McDonald since 1988.
It's hard to imagine the amount of dedication, commitment, focus and sheer energy it takes to complete a record when you're touring the world as a lead guitarist for a popular artist, as well as producing yet another musical project. For Chiaravalle (pronounced ("shaira velley") it simply comes down to passion. It's not a matter of choice; it's just creative necessity. Not that he doesn't absolutely love the job he's had with Michael McDonald for the past 26 years, it's just that he has music he needs to make and artistic statements of his own to offer.
And Chiaravalle has done that in a very complete way with "Hideaway Tales", his 6th record, on which he supplies all the vocals and plays all the instruments (with the exception of Dan Needham on drums and Vince Denham on sax). Most of the songs were written by Bernie alone on this record. "I had a lot of personal feelings and emotions to express while writing this record and I felt to really say what I felt, I need to write alone".
All the songs were recorded at his home studio, Hideaway, hence the album title Hideaway Tales.

The stories of veterinarean James Herriot, who wrote “All Creatures Great and Small” and died 20 years ago today aged 79, remain immensely popular and they attract many tourists to Yorkshire but they did not make him a fortune.
That was in 1979 when I interviewed him for TV Guide Canada. His real name was James Alfred Wight and he told me that his inspiration came one day when he finished his pint of McEwan’s Export ale and strode from the Three Tuns punlic house into the quiet Yorkshire evening. Once more, the villagers of Thirsk in the North Riding had supped their bitter entranced with his yarns about life as a country veterinarean in the 1930s.
Writing did not come easy: “The hardest thing was to realise that I couldn’t write. Aye, that was a nasty blow. When I’d written it down, I realised it was just terrible, you see. It was rather like a child’s school essay. Great, long balanced sentences that nobody in his right senses would ever think of paying money to read.
The eventual result was a novel titled “If Only They Could Talk”, a charmingly rustic and amusing account of Wight’s own introduction into the quaint and curious ways of farmers in the rolling hills of Yorkshire’s Pennine country before World War II with a combustible older partner he calls in his books Siegfried Farnon.
It led to another book, “It Shouldn’t Happen to a Vet” and they both sold comfortably. But then an American publisher picked them up and packaged them as one under the inspired title of “All Creatures Great and Small”, and remarkable things began to happen remarkably fast.
Herriot said, “The books were more or less limping along here and then they found out I was a bestseller in the United States and they began to take a bit of notice at home.” More books followed, packaged in the States as “All Things Bright and Beautiful” and “All Things Wise and Wonderful”.
Anthony Hopkins starred as Siegfried Farnon in a feature film, “All Things Great and Small” in 1975 with Simon Ward as Herriot and “It Shouldn’t Happen to a Vet” (1977) starred John Alderton as Herriot with Colin Blakely as Siegfried. In 1977, BBC-TV launched a 13-part series of “All Creatures Great and Small” with Robert Hardy as Siegfried and Christopher Timothy as Herriot. It reached an audience of 19 million every Sunday night and ran on and off until 1990 and is still available on DVD.

This week’s submission is a photograph of an unknown woman. The owner of the image does not know who the person is or when it was taken. The first step in identifying this picture is to establish what type of image it is so that a tentative date can be assigned. The size and appearance is consistent with a very popular type of photograph called a cartes de visite. They were so prevalent in the United States in the 1860’s that the fad was given a name — cartomania. There were many variations in the color and decoration of these cards. By consulting William C. Darrah’s Cartes de Visite in Nineteenth Century Photography (published by the author, 1981) it can be determined that the double line frame around the image dates from 1861-1866.
Examining the photograph, an imprint of the photographer C. Dart of Bennington, Vt., appears in the lower right corner. The second step, therefore, is to establish when C. Dart was in business in Bennington. According to the Federal Census, a Calvin Dart was in Bennington during the 1860’s. He is the only C. Dart in the Bennington area. Since this assigns work dates within our suggested time frame, it is not necessary to undertake additional research about the photographer at this time. If the owner was curious, further genealogical inquiries concerning the photographer could be made, including contacting the Bennington Museum in Bennington, Vermont, which houses a large collection of photographs taken by Dart in the 1880’s.
Dart used a theatrical backdrop and column to add interest to the photograph. It appears that the bottom edge of the backdrop was constructed of wood to anchor the cloth and add an authenticity to the surroundings. The column on the left also gave his subjects something to lean on during the photographic process. In this portrait the woman is resting her arm on the base of the column.
It is also important to analyze the clothing worn in the image to make sure all the clues agree. The short-waisted bodice and full width of her hoop skirt with a belt emphasizing her waist suggest a date of 1862-1865. This is a one-piece dress and is probably the nicest one in her wardrobe. Her hair is worn low on her neck and may be enclosed in a net. This was a popular hairstyle for the time period.
The final conclusion is that this picture was taken between 1862-1865. All the evidence suggests this time frame. Unfortunately, there is no caption or other clues that assign an identity to the woman or suggest why the picture was taken.

I know I certainly had a little too much fun with a certain "shake" this weekend.
...maybe I'm just crazy... either way, I blame Wil Wheaton.
Friday 6:17 PM - Now What do we have here?
But I'm not complaining. I ordered a fast food orange cream shake, I'm not expecting the world in a cup here. I expected an orange creamsicle flavor and a typical fast food shake thickness and texture and that's exactly what I got. Sure, I would have preferred a bit more vanilla to mellow out my treat, or say maybe a 15-20% reduction in orange flavoring, but overall it's a decent flavor that pairs surprisingly well with my roast beef sandwich and curly fries.
Now, who wants to never drink another fast food shake?
You see, I didn't finish the shake, so after a few hours in the fridge, I dropped the cup in the sink.
I figured it would melt and then I could pour it down the drain.
Friday 11:10 PM - I popped the lid and removed my straw... and this happened.
This is not what I would call "melting"
Confused, I started scooping... and made this crater.
I think I might be a little nauseous.
And now I am officially frightened.
9:05 AM - It is now the second morning and all is well.
It still smells of orange cremesicle. There is no foul odor or signs of mold.
I don't know about you, but I think I realize why it's called a SHAKE and not a MILKSHAKE. Let's check out the ingredients and see what we see.
Wow, that's surprisingly tame and contains a fair amount of dairy.... so why in the world hasn't it spoiled? Keep in mind that it's been humid and around 78 in the house all weekend. If this was a plate or a cup of milk, the whole house would reek by now. I'm frightened... so so so frightened. Do you think a B&J or Cold Stone shake would live on like this? I think not!
The first 168 hours of life have come to an end.... yet the shake survives! At this point, my science experiment is boring me and taking up way too much counter space. The good news is that I seem to have figured out how they make cheetos.... The substance is airy, somewhat crumbly, yet somewhat spongy and sticky. I'll never look at Arby's shakes the same way again.
April 2014 Update: The orange cream shake has returned... and I am not buying one.
April 2016 Update: It's back again for a limited time!
That shake looks horrendous, but the Curiosity Rover video was incredible!
YIKES! What's scarier in the age of apocalypse, this or cockroaches?
Eww. This is like those experiments with McDonalds food to see if they mold.
I'd assume it's all the preservatives in the mix that are keeping it from spoiling...for now.
I'm going to think twice when my son wants a milkshake from McDonald's again.
Im having an allergic reaction to it at the moment and my fingers are swelling and numb.
It is 3 am and I have been awakened by severe acid reflux from this shake, so I decided to look up the ingredients. Gross! This is definitely another "food" to avoid! We need to educate ourselves about what we eat and where it comes from, since the FDA isn't doing us any favors!

On Tuesday, Kelly Ripa shared a snap of her husband, Mark Consuelos, with their two sons, Michael, 21, and Joaquin, 15. The striking pic shows off the uncanny resemblance of the men, including Saul Consuelos, Mark's father, who's also in the photo.
The multi-generational shot features all the guys mid-laugh and grinning for the camera while wearing casual all-dark looks, with the exception of Mark's shiny bomber jacket. In the pic, Michael has his arms wrapped around both Joaquin and Saul, while Mark sits in front of the trio.
"Papi chulos ," Ripa, 48, captioned the shot, Spanish slang for an attractive man.
The morning show host and Riverdale star recently congratulated their eldest child -- they also share a 17-year-old daughter, Lola -- for landing a role oh his dad's CW show.
Mark, 47, called Michael -- who will be playing a younger version of his character, Hiram -- the "much better and handsomer Hiram" in his post, while Kelly took a moment to jokingly remind Michael that "as your fiduciaries, we are hereby entitled to 10 [percent] of all future earnings hereto wit."
At least one Riverdale actor is on board with making the show a Consuelos family affair! ET caught up with Archie himself, KJ Apa, last month, where he dished about the new addition to the cast.
As for whether Kelly, a noted fan of the show, will make a cameo, KJ, 21, shared, "I haven't heard anything about Kelly joining the show anytime soon."

A comedy A-list, including George Takei, Leslie Jordan and Bruce Vilanch, already attended a table reading.
Two of the creative, gay minds behind The Golden Girls are ready for a whole new generation of laughs! Stan Zimmerman and James Berg, who cut their teeth on the perennial TV favorite before going on to classics like Roseanne and penning feature film A Very Brady Sequel, now offer fans a new pair of queer-centric comedies.
Lesbian-focused premium outlet tello Films is already streaming the out writing duo’s Sandra Bernhard-led Secs & Execs. Up next, said series cocreator Zimmerman, is a “gay men’s Golden Girls” (a comparison which might be slightly redundant).
“Jim and I just wrote a pilot called Silver Foxes, about four gay men,” Zimmerman shared during an interview on Party Foul Radio with Pollo & Pearl.
Stan Zimmerman, whose TV writing career started on The Golden Girls, has amassed a gay A-List for his proposed new series pilot.
“Every one of us is getting older,” he told listeners of Podomatic’s No. 1 LGBTQ podcast before outlining the proposed show’s obvious parallels to the four iconic Miami retirees. “Especially with gays and lesbians and transgender, we create our own families – and that’s what The Golden Girls did.
“Those women came together and supported each other,” Zimmerman explained.
The premise for Silver Foxes was inspired by acclaimed documentary Before You Know It, noted Zimmerman, which spotlights the struggles of LGBTQ elderly. From the film, he learned retirement communities and assisted living facilities often push queers back into the closet.
To move the project forward, the determined writer had to get creative. Zimmerman sent “cold email” introductions outlining the show’s concept, his past work on classic programs such as Roseanne, The Gilmore Girls and more to a list of out actors he wanted for the roles – many of whom he did not know.
“Everyone just jumped in!” he admitted.
A comedy A-List was on-board even before the first script about four retirement-age gay men was written. An afternoon table reading of the pilot script drew George Takei (Star Trek), Leslie Jordan (Will & Grace, American Horror Story), multiple Emmy-winner Bruce Vilanch, Todd Sherry (Parks & Recreation, Life in Pieces) and long-running Saturday Night Live star Cheri Oteri.
“When they got the script, it was just hysterical,” said Zimmerman, humorously recounting how it required Jordan – “the gayest man in the world” – to “butch it up” to hide his sexuality in his old age.
With Takei, Jordan and the rest attached, Zimmerman and Berg are shopping the script to major networks – with alternative outlets Netflix, Hulu and Amazon also as options. Meanwhile, they are basking in the success of new tello Films series Secs & Execs.
Originally the office-based pilot was written on spec as two separate-yet-connected programs for Lifetime, which continues reruns of the team’s work for The Golden Girls. The comedies were merged after receiving an immediate greenlight from tello President Christin Baker.
Secs & Execs centers on the opposing viewpoints of four executives and their assistants at fictional women’s wear company Kathletics. Zimmerman and Berg’s second tello Film project, the star-studded cast includes Olivia D’Abo, who grew up of TV’s Wonder Years, Daniella Bobadilla (Anger Management, The Middle), Bayne Gibby (The Comeback) and Sandra Bernhard.
The dynamic duo’s first outing – so to speak -- with the lesbian-oriented media upstart was the Elizabeth Keener-led Skirtchasers, also starring Meredith Baxter and Barry Bostwick . Though pitched to mainstream television first, Zimmerman said it was blocked from production by debuting hit The New Normal.
Frustrated, he reached out to Baker. Without hesitation, his old acquaintance signed on. tello’s rapid decision, Zimmerman said, came as a shock after the “constant battle” of years with network TV.
Of course, Zimmerman isn’t foolish enough to downplay the importance of network TV – or its lasting impact on his career. Having joined the writing team of The Golden Girls directly out of college, that “very fortunate” experience more than three decades ago still impacts life today.
“We knew there was gold on the stage, but conventional thinking was ‘Who would watch a bunch of old ladies?’” he recalls. Soon, he says, ratings answered that question handily. The Golden Girls debuted in the Top 20, moved into the Top 10 and, eventually, sat alone atop the Nielsen ratings.
Unlike other sitcom giants, which no matter how popular receive some form of criticism or fail to reach certain audiences, Zimmerman suggests The Golden Girls remains in a class all its own.

Today is World Hunger Day and another year passes, the plight of the hungry still hangs heavily on the world, and this country – but where there are dark clouds there are silver linings.
Since 1990, South Africa’s undernourishment score has been maintained at less than five percent of the total population bringing down the numbers of those going hungry over the past 20 years, according to the Food and Agricultural Organisation. Although positive, the number of children still going hungry is concerning.

(3BL Media/Justmeans) - Poverty and hunger in South Africa are inextricably linked to the plight of smallholder farmers, who produce most of the continent’s food, but struggle with unproductive soil, unreliable water supplies, low-quality seeds, and scarce markets for their crops. The country is often described as a country of dualities, with first-world and third-world scenarios occurring side-by-side and agriculture is no different, with both commercial farming on a grand scale and smallholder and subsistence farming co-existing.

Today’s competitive, high-risk/high-reward marketplace entices young entrepreneurs to develop (and cash in on) daring ideas virtually overnight. To remain relevant and enable emerging thinkers to pursue surer pathways to success, universities are introducing campus spaces where students can connect to fellow entrepreneurs and interested financiers. These new places – academic incubators – have helped universities rethink their place in preparing the next generation, creating entrepreneurial environments that facilitate connections and speed innovative ideas from concept to reality.
What is an academic incubator?
Functionally distinct from classrooms, libraries and student unions, academic incubators establish new forums for idea exchange on campus. Designed to spark strategic partnerships between academia and industry, incubators connect students to startups, investors and other collaborators they might not otherwise encounter. As such, academic incubators provide a community, resources and the physical environments essential to fostering entrepreneurial exploration. Depending on stated purpose and mission, incubators may offer: co-working or maker spaces, conference rooms, labs, cafes, concierge services and mentoring staff.
Why are universities building them?
Universities are assessing how best to prepare students for meaningful and rewarding careers. Today’s university students want more than academic degrees; they aim to launch businesses, develop new products and start social movements. In response, universities are building academic incubators to remain competitive and relevant; to attract and retain entrepreneurial students, faculty and researchers; and to forge connections between industry and academia. Incubators are now a vital part of the higher education landscape. They embrace a culture that promotes tenets like “take risks” and “fail fast,” while allowing students to develop hands-on entrepreneurial skills. Universities are keen to promote their startup spirit, because classroom settings often lack it.
Incubators are distinct academic ecosystems populated by curious and inquisitive entrepreneurs, free agents, programmers, designers, dreamers, angel investors, tinkerers, venture capitalists and more. Students seeking connections to the marketplace use incubators, as do companies looking to recruit top talent, and research organizations seeking people who think in entrepreneurial ways.
What benefits do incubators offer?
Academic incubators position universities as progressive places, attracting students to learning environments very different from conventional classroom settings. Simultaneously, businesses look to incubators to surface an academic institution’s intellectual capital and top talent. Incubators also enable companies to participate in cutting-edge research without having to invest significant resources. For cities, incubators offer a vision of what a city could be, or what a city aspires to be. They raise awareness of a city’s ambitions, attracting established corporations and their workforces, while sparking startups to support neighborhood growth and development.
How does design impact the success of an incubator?
Design plays a key role in shaping an incubator’s vision and direction, and sets the tone for what happens inside the space. While incubator design shares a common theme of flexibility, it does more: the design offers cues to people using the space, inspiring them to connect in new ways. Unlike traditional academic design, incubators are more likely to resemble co-working spaces and startup offices, offering people choice and control over where and how they work. Incubators provide students a glimpse of where they could go after they make the leap from campus to workplace.
In the coming months, Gensler’s global education design practice will share academic incubator stories from projects it’s designed in cities including London, New York, Chicago, Houston, Cambridge, Baltimore, São Paulo and Suzhou. We’ll explain the myriad benefits incubators offer students, universities, industry and cities alike, as we articulate why good design can differentiate successful incubators from those that fall short.

AIM: To develop a procedure for assessing the adequacy of metoprolol use in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) on the basis of synchronization of 0.1-Hz rhythms in cardiac rhythm variability (CRV) and vascular blood filling in the microcirculatory bed (MCB). Materials and methods. 43 patients with CHD (age 63 +/- 8 years), who had sustained myocardial infarction about 6 months before, were examined. Synchronous registration of ECG and a pulsogram were made during an orthostatic test before and after therapy with metoprolol in the maximum tolerable doses during 3 months. The presence of synchronization of 0.1-Hz rhythms identified from a series of R-R intervals and the pulsogram was determined from the difference of phases; the total percent of synchronization (S) was estimated. RESULTS: The authors identified 2 groups of CHD patients: those with positive (n=21) and negative (n=16) orthostatic S, trends during treatment. The groups were matched by major clinical characteristics. There was an inverse relationship between the values of S, in the lying and standing position prior to or following treatment. It is suggested that there is the optimum range of 0.1-Hz rhythm synchronization values in the cardiovascular system during beta-blocker therapy in patients with CHD. CONCLUSION: There is a possibility applying an objective approach to assessing the adequacy of metoprolol treatment in CHD patients on the basis of synchronization of 0.1-Hz fluctuations in variations CR V and vascular blood filling in MCB.

This wee pub and kitchen isn’t really made up to seem like an Asian restaurant with Asian decor, it’s really a comfortable and homey style pub with some interesting lampshades on the walls and a nice and inviting fireplace in the upstairs area where we were seated during our visit.
At the time I visited wee buddha with Emma from Vegan Edinburgh and her husband, they had a separate vegan menu for all the dishes that were suitable for vegans, but they couldn’t tell us which of the wines were vegan. The staff however were very helpful and said they would look into it so they would have that information to hand for our next visit.
There are quite a few dishes for each course and it was really hard to try and decide which one I wanted for dinner that night. We did try each other’s dishes, but I think I will definitely be going back to order other dishes myself because I enjoyed the food so much!
I absolutely loved the contrast between crispy outer skin and the silky tofu cubes covered in Chinese spices. It reminds me of the spicy tofu dish my family likes to make at home and what we sometimes order when we’re eating out at restaurants in Hong Kong. The vegetable gyoza (although a Japanese and not Chinese dish) is always a firm favourite of mine. I liked the way the dumplings have been cooked and then pan-seared to give a slight crisp to the base of the skin which is how such dishes should be cooked. I’ve not heard of Cantonese seasoned chips as seasoned chips isn’t really a Cantonese dish, but I imagine this is a dish that has been offered because of Scottish preferences for chips. I enjoyed the spices and seasoning on the chips that you would normally eat plain deep fried. It adds another dimension to the fried and crispy taste of chips.
I haven’t had Singapore fried noodles in ages and while this wasn’t exactly how I remembered it from when it was offered at my high school canteen, I still thoroughly enjoyed the stir fry vegetables tossed with vermicelli noodles. I’m always a bit wary about vegetables being overcooked, but I was really happy to find that the vegetables in my fried noodles were nice and crunchy, just how I like them.
I was told that both the rice dishes were very nice and everyone enjoyed the meal immensely. I was happy to have an Asian meal where I recognised most of the dishes and actually missed eating. The pub and kitchen itself is really welcoming and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I can’t wait to come back for some more amazing food and to try some of the other dishes that sound just as good as the gyoza and crispy bean curd I got to try on this visit.

How to Check Clutch Fluid Level. While there's no such thing as special "clutch fluid," hydraulic clutches use brake fluid instead. It's a good idea to check the fluid level in the clutch reservoir regularly.
Turn the engine off before opening the hood.
Find the clutch fluid reservoir. It's usually close to the back of the engine, near the brake fluid reservoir.
Before you start looking for the clutch reservoir, make sure your car has a hydraulic clutch in the first place. Cars with cable clutches do not use fluid.
Be careful when working with brake fluid. It's very corrosive. Don't let it go on the car's paint or any part of your body.
If you keep finding a low clutch fluid level, you might have a leak, which can render your clutch pedal useless. See your mechanic to have this problem fixed.

A wooden box is a container made of wood for storage or as a shipping container. Construction may include several types of wood, lumber, plywood, engineered woods, etc.
Plywood is a sheet material manufactured from thin layers or plies of wood veneer that are glued together with adjacent layers having their wood grain rotated upto 90 degrees to one another.
Hard wood box made from Indian junglee wood. Tress like Tamarind, mango wood, etc.
Plywood for indoor use generally uses the less expensive urea-formaldehyde glue, which has limited water resistance, while outdoor and marine-grade plywood are designed to withstand rot, and use a water resistant phenol-formaldehyde glue to prevent delamination and to retain strength in high humidity.

of the South Baltic Cleantech Network?
In the understanding of the network, Cleantech refers to all processes, products and services that improve operational performance, productivity, or eff iciency while reducing costs, inputs, energy consumption, waste, or environmental pollution through significant energy eff iciency improvements, the sustainable use of resources, or environmental protection activities. Cleantech must also generate an economic benefit, be competitive and innovative. Cleantech is a more market-orientated concept than environmental technologies.
CleanTech is the overall technical understanding of being environmental friendly, minimizing carbon footprint in production, products, services, consume and behaviour, and being societal accepted, by fair means. It is either for free nor free of confl icts. It demands a balance of economy, ecology and public welfare. Assumed individual interests do not represent societal interests nor societal objectives!
The challenge is to integrate Cleantech into daily life and action, this is the step forward from on-Top or End-of-Pipe strategies in the 80`s and 90`s. Economic growth nowadays means growing eff iciency, resource management and participation, not growing consume and shareholder rvalue. It is necessary to fill the term with action and goals. And it is necessary to bring unwieldy terms into round ears. A challenge for policy makers and scientists to address non-professionals. Being generation-friendly means, not to inherit the earth from the grandparents but to loan it from the grandchildren.

For a variety of reasons, myths and misconceptions about Jaynes's theory abound. Often those who write or comment on Jaynes's theory unfortunately don't first take the time to properly understand it. They seem to often skim the book, only read a summary of it, or for other reasons jump to conclusions about what Jaynes is saying rather than taking the time to really understand the theory. The vast majority of critiques of the theory are based on misconceptions.
As new misconceptions are published, we can utilize this forum to stay on top of them. If you find misconceptions about Jaynes's theory, post them here, along with your clarification. You can also request a clarification from others.
Ultimately we'd like to see more people debating what Jaynes actually said, rather than misinterpretations of the theory.
cerebral asymmetry probably go back at least 2 million years, and perhaps even earlier, in hominid evolution"
"The psycho-history of mankind, he says, can be understood only as an age-long progress, or transition, from the dominance of the right hemisphere, through a “bicameral mind” period when the two hemispheres were both about equally effective, into the dominance of the left hemisphere, which largely prevails today and which may end either in the total atrophy of the right hemisphere or, better, in the reestablishment of a proper balance between them."
Jaynes was not saying the hemispheres were "equally effective," but instead, suggested right hemispheric dominance in BC-times (for anything important that is--not habitual tasks, of course). Cerebral asymmetry already existed--the conscious mind is just a different arrangement of that asymmetry (LH-dominant).
"By giving consciousness a cultural origin, says Christof Koch, chief scientific officer at the Allen Institute for Brain Science, 'Jaynes disavows consciousness as a biological phenomenon.'"
"A reviewer may be pardoned for raising the perhaps irritating question: Then why all this stress on the not-very-relevant physical brain? If the division of labor between its two hemispheres in any particular epoch is likely to have been organized by cultural and aesthetic activity, and is in any case only inferable from cultural and aesthetic phenomena, to what exactly is it the master key?"

A course aiming to support the participants’ PhD projects by working with phenomenological-oriented and wonder-based or wonder-inspired approaches to qualitative research, practice-based dialogue and action research.
30 days before the start of the course, each participant is asked to send a 7-page paper on reflections in connection with his/her work on the dissertation. Start the paper with the core wonder-question you have and qualify or expand this wonder through bringing in some experiences connected to or thoughts relevant for your dissertation.
These short 'wonder-papers' will then be discussed in the afternoon workshops. The participants will be divided into groups of 5-6 participants. It is expected that every group member has read all 'wonder-papers' in their group prior to the course. In addition, there will be two designated feedback givers (1 PhD student & 1 teacher) who will give detailed feedback.
A detailed program for each day will be sent out in April. Morning workshops will be held in English. There will be both English-language and Scandinavian- language afternoon workshops (depending on the language of the 7-page papers submitted).
There is a strange relation between being in wonder through a dialogue and relation with the subject matter itself (den Sachen) on the one hand – and on the other hand being in a relation with the subject matter through performative action. Both genuine philosophical wonder (Vita Contemplative) and whole-hearted actions performed as deeds in interpersonal relations or as ‘truth-telling’ in the public sphere (Vita Activitas) are gateways to and openings for deeper understanding of human conditions and relation in human and social science.
The German philosopher and ‘action phenomenologist’ Hannah Arendt (1958, 1978) has a sharp eye for this strange connection. Wonder somehow seems to qualify the openness towards the world and strangely enough also the human being’s (phronetic) judgement in ethical, existential and political affairs.
And performative actions understood as deeds and as moments of new beginnings (natality) where the person’s action and speech co-exist as responses to a call give also life and expressions to a kind of ‘wonder-in-action’, not to be confused with ‘reflection-in-action’(Schön) or “thinking-in-action”(Benner).
This kind of ‘wonder-based action research’ or ‘action-oriented dialogical phenomenology’ might be of special interest for researchers in human and social science – in health, communication, education and social work – who want to research in the ‘human factor’ and unique ‘beautiful moments’ of care, creativity and meaningfulness in human relations.
In the quest for a ‘re-humanization’ of modern but too ‘effective’ institutions and too ‘professionalized’ human affairs and conditions these fragile moments of I-Thou-meetings and meaningfullness are in danger of disappearing (Arnett, 2013, 2017).
What is asked for is a kind of existential Bildung and ‘humanistic and existential resilience’(Hansen, 2018) which can help people in health, communication, education and social work to reflect and act critically and creatively against the instrumentalization and de-humanizing forces of modern ‘productive’ organizations. What kind of new understanding of and ‘culture of quality’ in human-relation-oriented organization will allow moments of quite wonder and thinking and caring presence, actions and relations to emerge?
Taking a view on contemporary qualitative research and action research one is surprised to see, that this kind of research do not seem to have sufficient understanding of and practice for how to bring this kind of phenomenological wonder and ethical performative action into play in qualitative research.
Being in wonder in qualitative research is typically connected to a scientific and epistemological form of wonder (‘communities of inquiry’). But being in wonder in a phenomenological and ontological sense is a radically different approach and mode of being (‘communities of wonder’).
In contemporary language philosophy the concept of ‘performative action’ is well known (Austin, Searle) and Wittgenstein seems to have paved the way for ‘linguistic turn’ where the performative action is connected to a pragmatic and contextual understanding between being, language, and action (Gergen, Rorty). But if we look closer to the thinking of Wittgenstein it is rather an ‘ontological’ or maybe ‘pre-ontological turn’ that he aspires to in his thinking. ‘In the beginning was not the word but the deed’, as he says. And the deed seems to emerge in the meeting with a fundamental ‘wonder-in-the-very-concrete-world’.
other, the fragile tone of hope In a voice. How do we as qualitative researchers and action researchers cultivate our sense of the Call of the phenomenon or ethical call of the situation?
Levinas (as well as Marion with his concept of ‘the Saturated Phenomenon’) gives us a view on philosophy and the inquiring mind as a practice or openness towards “wisdom of love at the service of love”.
Patocka emphasizes that in order to get into a dialogue with what matters in human lives the human and social researcher must also work with a kind of ‘ethical care of the soul’. That is, how should the researcher live his or her own life in order to ‘live the question’ (Rilke) and in order phenomenologically to hear the voice of the phenomenon itself?
The main aim of the course is to support course participants’ PhD projects by working with phenomenological-oriented and wonder-based or wonder-inspired approaches to qualitative research, practice-based dialogue and action research.
On the first day of the PhD-course professor Ronald C. Arnett will dwell upon the question and experience of what it means to act upon a call as a qualitative and communication researcher, and why both Arendt and the French ethical phenomenologist Levinas give rise to a kind of ‘dialogical phenomenology’ in the face of the Other and experience of transcendence. Arnett’s notion of ‘dialogic ethics’ (Arnett, 2018) will also be reflected.
Arnett will take people through his understanding of Arendt as the principal critic of modernity, as described through his book, Communication Ethics in Dark Times. Arnett will take people through the entire book of Communication Ethics in Dark Times, but the hermeneutic entrance will be on the secular trinity of modernity, which is articulated throughout the book.
Arnett will take people through his understanding of Levinas as the principal critic of the “originative I” within the West as described in his book, Levinas’s Rhetorical Demand. Emmanuel Levinas is often used as an example of rhetorical critique. Levinas was quite displeased with the Western focus on rhetoric. The work unpacks an understanding of rhetoric that begins with a “derivative I” rather than an “originative I.” The class will explicate this, working through all the chapters with this hermeneutic entrance.
On the second day professor Finn Th. Hansen will then ask how we – inspired by Wittgenstein’s notion of ‘philosophy as therapy’ and the Czech phenomenologist Jan Patocka’s notion of ‘Socratic Care of the Soul’ – as qualitative and action researchers in human and social science can train ourselves in practice in the art of the Socratic maieutics and ‘communities of wonder’. Hansen’s notion of ‘humanistic and existential resilience’ will also be reflected.
On the third day the PhD-students together with Arnett and Hansen will take up some core questions, which have emerged during the first two days of the course. The PhD-students will also work in groups and under supervision of Arnett and Hansen on how to design and practice dialogical and action-based phenomenology (“wonder-in-action”) in their own field of research.
The course will be organized along lectures, dialogues and interactivity through workshops. Morning lectures will be thematically organized in order to address the themes and questions listed above. The lectures will be followed by Socratic dialogue workshops, where a community of wonder around chosen questions will be practiced. These are preparations for dialogue between the course participants and speaker of the morning session.
The afternoon will start with a short question of wonder by one of the other speakers of the course and inspired by the morning session. Then the afternoon lecture will be presented and dialogue workshops will follow.
On the third day, the course participants will present some wonders and questions connected to their PhD-work and feedback in groups by Arnett and Hansen will be done.
Afternoon workshops will be divided into groups of 5-6 participants. It is expected that every group member has read all papers in their group prior to the course. In addition, there will be two designated feedback givers (1 PhD student & 1 teacher) who will give detailed feedback. A detailed program for each day will be sent out in April. Morning workshops will be held in English. There will be both English-language and Scandinavian- language afternoon workshops (depending on the language of the 7-page papers submitted).

He also own a Professor-2-position at Agder University (Norway), where he is developing a research environment in Ethics and Professional Work seen from an Practice-Phenomenological approach. During many years, he has been doing research in the phenomenology of wonder, and how Socratic and wonder-based dialogues can be applied in qualitative research and especially phenomenological-oriented action research. He has written several books on these subjects and also facilitated practice-based and phenomenological action research in different areas of professions such as Design School, Hospice, Innovation in Public Organisation and hospitals, who all wanted to inquiry how the existential and ontological dimensions in these fields can be understood and seen as a resource.

The Observer’s New Review section had a short piece on the British Library’s Beautiful Science exhibition, “How visualising data has changed life … and saved lives“.
That section also ran a larger article on the new wave of small press magazines and their design aesthetic. The common theme seems to be having a focus. Wondering how close these are to fanzines and their focus.
The main section of the Observer had an interview with Doris Kearns Goodwin, an historian, who has just published a biography of Theodore Roosevelt, The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt and the Golden Age of Journalism. Although weighty, it sounds like it goes to questions that we need to keep asking now.

I got really sick this past weekend. It was the kind of sick where it comes out of nowhere and it hurt to stand up. I laid in bed all last Sunday evening and Monday. I went out a little on Tuesday but came home fairly early because i got tired pretty quickly. It was really bad because I got really depressed just lying in bed all do and not even be able to watch tv because it was too exhausting. I really wanted to go home and be in my own bed. I miss all of my friends and family and my dog. I feel much better now though, both physically and emotionally.
On Thursday I visited the Cupola of the Reichstag. The view was incredible, but unfortunately the pictures didn’t turn out that great in my opinion.

Situated atop the densely forested Labrador Nature Reserve, and yet only a 10 minute walk from Labrador MRT Station, the restaurant Tamarind Hill qualifies to be called a hidden gem. When you arrive at the restaurant, it’s hard not to be wowed by the charming colonial bungalow that has been decked out to exude a rustic-luxe Asian flair, amidst vast greenery. It really feels as if you are cocooned away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of Singapore.
The bungalow may seem small from the outside, partly because it is obscured by all the plants. But once you open the main door, you will surely be wowed by this imposing and grand looking bar area. This is probably the most instagrammable spot in the entire restaurant!
The restaurant serves traditional and contemporary Siamese cuisine, and is led by Executive Chef Wanthana Nikonsaen who hails from a small village near Laos, North-East of Thailand. But I was there to try the Lunar New Year menu, so I was keen to see how this menu might be different from all the Chinese New Year menus I have tried in the past few weeks.
For $88/pax, Tamarind Hill will be offering a 4 course set menu comprising fixed dishes of appetisers, soup, mains and desserts. If you want to have Yu Sheng / Lohei, that’s an additional $38 (small for 3 – 4 pax) or $68 (large for 7 – 8 pax). Check out the photos of the food below. If you have the chance, sit outdoors in the al-fresco area because the greenery all around is just so pretty.
Fort Canning Park – Gastronomic Trail, Guided Tours and free Movie Screening!
With the cool weather that we have been experiencing these days, it’s the best opportunity to enjoy Singapore’s great outdoors! And what better way than to explore Fort Canning Park this weekend, 4th March 2017, for a full day of fun and free activities!
The above activities are FREE! To register or to find out more, visit http://www.nparks.gov.sg/weekends.
A few of us had the privilege of having a preview of the exciting activities lined up. Check out my photos below!
Chef Hiroyuki Shinkai demonstrating how to prepare sauted duck with spices. Did you know that Fort Canning Park boasts a spice garden? It would be really educational for the kids to have a walk around the spice garden, followed by watching a cooking demonstration of how spices are incorporated into the dishes that we consume.

Without doubt, Venice today is one of the most liveable cities in the world - thanks to its uniquely “slow” lifestyle. Venetians move about, almost always on foot, and when necessary, they take the ferry or vaporetto. Venice is a world apart, where distances are shorter, everything is closer and people-friendly.
“Venice is like walking about a big house. Strolling around the streets and alleys is like walking through the corridors. You can always meet someone you know; you always feel 'at home' and protected".
And can you disagree with that? The bacaro or small bar where you go to drink an ombra - i.e. a glass of wine and eat cicheti - snacks, small servings of seafood, cold meats, and vegetables – has become a social gathering spot and a hangout for meeting friends.
You can still do your grocery shopping in little shops (i.e. "botteghe”) like once upon a time: e.g. not far from the Biennale gardens, you can still find the milkmen; while in the Dorsoduro area, you can still buy fresh fruit and vegetables in a floating market which has become a real town symbol.
On Saturdays, the local people go to the Rialto market to buy fish, which they use in traditional recipes like fried sardines “in saor” - a dressing made with onions, vinegar, raisins and pine nuts; shrimp “alla busara” - cooked in a tomato,onion and garlic gravy; cuttlefish cooked in their ink, with white wine, garlic, and parsley added.
They can also buy flowers, fruit and vegetables, without ever losing the opportunity of going to a bar and drinking a spritz: it's always time for an aperitif in Venice – prepared the usual way with Aperol or Campari, white wine and an olive.
Sunday outings are a “must” - either by boat or waterbus to reach one of the lagoon islands: you can relax with a bike ride to the Lido or have a picnic on the islands of Certosa or Mazzorbo. And don't forget the island of Sant'Erasmo, better known as the vegetable garden of Venice, where such delights like tender young artichokes, and the white peaches - a basic ingredient for the famous “Bellini” cocktail – come from.

This is our signature Vinyasa class where movement is linked with breath, allowing the body to move fluidly through each pose. Vinyasa yoga is an energizing style of yoga and is appropriate for beginners as well as more experienced practitioners. Become steady, strong, resilient and find your warrior within!
This is a more advanced version of our signature Sun Warrior class. Fire Warrior is an energizing, faster paced style of Vinyasa yoga in an Infrared Heated studio. We will be playing with more arm balances and inversions, more core work, really firing up every muscle! Connecting breath and movement to intense beats, this class will get you out of your head and into your body!
The beginning of class will build heat in the muscles through Sun Salutation A and B. The rest of the class will be passively held floor poses. These poses activate and lengthen the connective tissues in the body, while relaxing the muscles that are attached to them. Students will use props to assist the body in deepening the poses. Holding each pose for 1-3 minutes restores and maintains the natural mobility of the joints, increases flexibility in the body, and releases blockages in the energy centers of the body to increase energy flow.
This is a safe, fun and introductory level class for students who are new to yoga or those who need a refresher class. Students will learn the foundational poses and begin to learn how to connect their breath with their movement. Using props during class, students will learn to build on the foundational poses to deepen their practice. There will be clear, detailed cues and occasional demonstrations throughout class.
Take your practice to the next level with our massage-infused yoga sessions for the ultimate in relaxation and stress relief.
Moon Warrior is our Restorative Yoga class. It is the centering of your breath and body – aligning the physical and mental by practicing stillness or gentle movement for extended periods of time. The props assist in helping you to hold poses longer. A beautiful counterpart to the more fiery power classes, you will feel refreshed and relaxed when you walk off your mat. Feel free to show up in comfortable attire, almost like your PJs, maybe even bring a hoodie. This class will make you feel like you got an adjustment, a massage and a nap!
Practice at your own pace with self-guided yoga and meditation sessions.
Savasana (Corpse Pose) or Meditation (Dhyana) are perhaps the most important part of a yoga practice. During this hour, students can come get away from the craziness of the day by finding silence and stillness. Students can take this hour to slow down, reconnect to their breath, and find relaxation in their mind and body. Even if you only have ten minutes to share with us, you are welcome here! (Just remember to be super quiet for those staying longer!) Come in your yoga clothes, PJs, street clothes or work clothes, and make sure to use any yoga props to make you feel relaxed & comfortable during your time here!

Questions raised over Barack Obama’s citizenship are reaching into the National Press Club now, with an event scheduled Monday at which an activist group will call for the release of documentation proving his eligibility to occupy the Oval Office.
Already, at least one legal advocacy group, the United States Justice Foundation, is promising to raise legal challenges to whatever Obama would do as president, until and unless his eligibility is established.
Now the group that has aired and published a number of ads challenging Obama based on charges that he was born in Kenya, not Hawaii, and doesn’t meet the U.S. Constitution’s requirement that all presidents be “natural-born” citizens has scheduled a news conference in Washington.
Among those scheduled to be present are attorneys handling a Pennsylvania case brought by Philip Berg and a California case brought by Orly Taitz. The U.S. Supreme Court justices were scheduled to have a conference today on whether to accept arguments on the issue, but no immediate announcement was made.
WeThePeopleFoundation.org, which is scheduling the event, will talk about Obama’s response to the publication of an open letter last week in the Chicago Tribune.
The letter sought Obama’s authorization for access to his original birth certificate, which state officials in Hawaii report having seen.
More than a dozen legal challenges have been initiated over Obama’s citizenship, all citing Obama’s clouded history and the U.S. Constitution’s requirement that a president be a natural born citizen.
of a doubt his constitutional eligibility for office.
There have been allegations Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii as his campaign has reported, that he could be considered a British subject because of his father’s residency in what then was a British protectorate that later became Kenya, and that the “Certification of Live Birth” posted on his website simply shows his mother registered his birth in Hawaii after he was born, but does not document a location of birth.
The biggest question remains why Obama, if a Hawaii birth certificate exists, simply hasn’t ordered it made available to settle the rumors. The dispute has been covered mostly by online news sources, but in recent days, Washington and Philadelphia newspapers have begun following, CNN and Fox have commented and even the American Bar Association Journal has noted the dispute.
The governor’s office in Hawaii said there is a valid certificate but rejected requests for access and left ambiguous its origin. Obama’s half-sister, Maya Soetoro, has named two different Hawaii hospitals where Obama could have been born, while a video posted on YouTube features Obama’s Kenyan grandmother Sarah claiming to have witnessed Obama’s birth in Kenya.
Schulz’ open letter asked that Obama have delivered to the National Press Club a certified copy of the original birth certificate, including any under the names Barack Husssein Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barry Obama, Barack Dunham and Barry Dunham, a certificate of his citizenship and admission forms for his attendance at Occidental College, Columbia and Harvard.
The dispute is facing an immediate deadline, because members of the U.S. Electoral College are scheduled to vote Dec. 15 formally to make Obama the next president.
Don’t be surprised by the developments in an Obama White House. Read the “The Audacity of Deceit” for an analysis of what to expect – today for only $4.95, an incredible $21 discount!
“Should the state members of the Electoral College cast their votes for Mr. Obama in the face of such overwhelming evidence, and without verification of Mr. Obama’s eligibility, they would be committing treason to the Constitution,” Schultz said.
WND has reported that as long as two years ago, a lawyer whose firm is linked to Obama was advocating abandonment of the “natural-born” requirement in the Constitution.
And in an analysis in the Philadelphia Bulletin, constitutional lawyer Edwin Vieira, suggested there would be major problems should Obama not be eligible, and assume the office anyway.
The result would be any appointments made an ineligible president, and all the appointees’ decisions, would be invalid, he said.
Vieira suggested Obama supporters should be the ones raising the questions, because of the discredit that would follow a revelation of ineligibility.
He also suggested Obama’s silence on the issue, itself, is a concern.
Vieira told the newspaper the question is significant because it involves the man who could have his finger next to a nuclear button. He also said the question would remain whether any laws he signs would be valid.
Even after Obama takes the oath of office, the questions will remain, he suggested.
Wes Pruden, editor emeritus of the Washington Times, said Obama’s refusal to authorize release of his birth certificate has fueled the dispute.

1. I read a few sell side reports on the Cisco’s announcements, but there was not as many as I had expected.
2. I read numerous blogs including Cisco’s blogs.
3. I read most of the software release notes and data sheets.
4. I also configured and priced out models using the Nexus 7009 / 7018 / 5548 and Fabric Path.
My conclusion is there are some hardware improvements in terms of port densities, which help with cost per port, but this is just a lot of marketing. I should support this statement with some facts because the majority of the reports I read seem to be written by people who have very little, if any knowledge about the company and technology they are covering. I think the best way to understand technology solutions is to build and price the solution. Never believe what the marketing people tell you because they are like a car dealer who gives you a nice price, but forgets to tell that air conditioning, power package, entertainment systems and heated seats are extra. Marketing people tend to do their job, which is to find all sorts of ways to promote their products that are generally meaningless to the core function and value of the product.
I built several pricing models for the Nexus line using reseller pricing in the market yesterday. I built a set of complex models in which I make margin assumptions for Cisco and their VARs, but I think these models are too complex for a blog. I condensed the models to show list and street pricing for three components in four configurations (I did more configurations with the complex models, but for the blog I am going with simplicity).
There are two important numbers in the following chart. The first is the cost of the 10GbE spine ports and the second is the cost of the 10GbE client ports (ToRs) which include the spine cost. I chose a 3:1 subscription model, which means there are three (3) client 10GbE ports for each 10GbE uplink port to the spine which is either a Nexus 7009 or Nexus 7018. I show the spine and client port costs at list and street and with and without optics (SFPs). For simplicity I used short reach 850NM SFPs priced as new, not refurbished.
In Cisco’s announcement there was a new fabric model (Fab-2) for the Nexus 7k series and a new 48 port 10GbE module. This helps with cost per port calculations. They also announced Fabric Path, which is a software enhancement that needs to be purchased per N7K. The release notes for the N5K say that Fabric Path will be supported in a future software release and I do not know if this will be included in the base software so I left it blank. CSCO also announced a stackable 16x40G switch for the 3000 series.
If you are a shareholder of CSCO, you are very happy with the Fabric Path announcement and the new Nexus hardware. CSCO is attacking Juniper’s QFabric scale with all sorts of numbers, but rest assured there is very little reduction in price and profit margin. This is good news is, customers staying on the CSCO path will continue to purchase vast amounts of hardware to scale the network vertically. The other action by CSCO was to fend off the ankle biters like Arista and that is exactly who the new 3016 switch is targeted against. Pricing is not available in the channel for this product as of yesterday.
When I wrote a post on how Cisco lost their way here and part 2 here, one aspect that did not occur to me at the time was how many isolated platforms are inside the company. When I read this post by a Google engineer who accidently posted his rant on what is wrong with Google on his Google+ account, it reminded me of how things must look inside Cisco which is why we got the announcements yesterday.
This does not factor in queuing for broadcast and mutlicast traffic. Something does not add up as nobody would build a line card that can not switch a jumbo frame would they?
Even if they worked out some magic with VoQs there is such a small amount of buffers for a box that is suggested can aggregate 10K+ servers there is going to be massive packet loss – not that Ethernet is perfect and it does drop packets but in this case things are going to break. I can get into how this is going to really break PFC/DCBX lossless applications but that is a longer post. Anyway great articles just wanted to put something else on the table – the size of the buffers means this is a disaster waiting for a couple of customer to deploy it and realize their network has….

Rob Woutat: Remember when the goal wasn't just to get even?
Remember when the goal wasn't just to get even?
American politicians haven't always been as vindictive as what we see today.
James Garfield and Ronald Reagan were magnanimous rather than vindictive after being shot. “Go easy on him,” Garfield instructed the crowd.
The outcome of the 2016 Presidential campaign, a brawling display of meanness, offensiveness, personal insults, and interpersonal degradation, would have been an appropriate time for magnanimity to “bind up the nation’s wounds,” as a much better man once said.
What might a magnanimous person have said in his inauguration speech on January 20, 2017?
Fellow Americans, I recognize I did not win the popular vote, that I was not the first choice of the American people. Perhaps someday we will develop a process that all of us recognize as democratic and acceptable.
But until then, I will serve this office to the best of my ability, recognizing that, as the Great Emancipator said, I serve all Americans, not one party or the other, and thatI cannot solve our complex national problems without the participation of the rest of the government, including the wisdom of American people.
I will be mindful of President Lincoln’s belief that no man is good enough to govern another man without the other’s consent. Like him, I will proceed with malice toward none and charity for all, and I will do my best to bind up the nation’s wounds.
But we know our President is not magnanimous. It just isn’t in him. Nor is it in our Congress, as we saw in the Kavanaugh confirmation when adults acted like children with their name-calling and vindictiveness, when the goal of both sides was not to get along but to get even.
When we grumble or despair about our politics, we’re almost always thinking about politics in our national Capitol.
If we value magnanimity, why is it so rare at the national level? It’s partly because many of our federal legislators come from the legal profession, a doggedly adversarial line of work where to compromise is to lose and the objective is to win.
Another is that we keep sending these same dogged people back to Washington to do whatever it takes to please us, to bring as much money back to us as possible,to defend our religious and political values, and above all to get re-elected.
To see respectable government, we must go instead to the states and municipalities where our elected representatives are a little more like our neighbors. They’re much easier to find and to know. We may see them at the supermarket, a restaurant, or the gas station. We may know them personally. partly because of this geographical proximity, inancial, legal and moral offenses in local government are rare.
City council members aren’t driven by a desire for power and fame and advanced careers in government. They earn very little money for their part time work and may feel more like volunteers committed to community service.
Elected officials at both the city and county level are served by boards and commissions, almost two dozen in Bremerton – the Arts Commission, the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Lodging Tax and Advisory Committee, the Tree Committee, and so on. Other Kitsap municipalities have hosts of boards and commissions, as does the county, all served by volunteers.
That’s where government is most exemplary, most honest, most deserving of appreciation and respect, and least rewarding to over-weaning personal ambition.

Just wanted to write a post to let you know that no, I didn't fall off the face of the earth again! It's just that it's 24 days later and I haven't received my Aerogarden Ultra yet. The order I placed on November 1 still says "PROCESSING". Very curious. I did place another order today (for replacement pumps), so let's see if that order "bumps" my previous order and gets some action on it. By the way, if you're ordering from now until Monday, Aerogarden is still honoring their Black Friday sale , where you get free shipping on all orders and they have a Buy One Get One at 50% off on every item in the store. I ended up getting four replacement pumps for my Aerogarden 7s for about $7 a pump.
A guy in colorado said he already has his ultra up and running. Says he bought it at a mall?! I asked for pic's, to see what it looks like.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Granola Bars - don't they look pretty?
Pizza Muffins These are really yummy, but the recipe only made 7. Next time I'll double it to get the full dozen.
I also had an opportunity to make a new granola bar recipe. It was delicious. They are so good! I made 24 Cherry Almond granola bars. Oh my word, they are delicious! I can't wait to try and make some that resemble those Sweet & Salty granola bars with the cashews!
That's it. I didn't get as much done as I wanted. I'll probably do some batch cooking throughout the month. We'll have to see as we go.
Good for you, it all looks delicious, love the french toast idea. Sorry for the mishap, I hate when that happens.
Love those breakfast burritos! No matter how hard I try, I never can do a OMAC. I do a lot of batch cooking though, so it all works out.
Can I hire you as my personal chef?
I just made 3 lbs of refried beans in my crock pot yesterday :) I'm off the check out your recipe!
Cute blog!! Thanks for stopping by The House on the Corner ~ I'm following back!
