In a market correction, stocks that had rallied the most typically fall more than stocks that are already beaten down. Not so in India’s telecom sector. In the past six trading sessions, shares of Bharti Airtel Ltd and Vodafone Idea Ltd have fallen 6.2% and 12.5%, respectively, in value. Year till date, these stocks have declined 32% and 62%, respectively. In contrast, shares of Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), which houses the mammoth Reliance Jio project, have fallen merely 1.9% in the past six trading sessions. Year to date, RIL shares have gained 34%.
RIL isn’t exactly a telco stock; although it is true that a large part of the gains in the stock have accrued because of Reliance Jio’s steady upward march in the industry’s market share tables.
In fact, subscriber numbers released by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India show that the pace of Reliance Jio’s market share growth has accelerated in recent months. The company had relaunched its feature phone called JioPhone in July, which helped its subscriber count grow by 11.8 million in the month. This was much higher than the average monthly addition of 9.5 million subscribers in the previous four months.
For incumbents, growth slowed dramatically. In July, Bharti Airtel’s wireless subscriber base rose by just 300,000, while the Vodafone-Idea combine’s subscriber count rose by 600,000. It was the lowest rate of subscriber addition in the past 10 months.
As pointed out in this column earlier, with none of the small telcos left to grab share from, Jio’s incremental market share gains are expected to come at the expense of large incumbents. In July, Jio’s subscriber market share rose to 19.6%, taking it ahead of both Vodafone India Ltd and Idea Cellular Ltd, which were operating as separate companies at the time. In March this year, Jio’s market share of 15.8% was considerably below Vodafone’s 18.8% share.
Of course, a larger share of Jio’s incremental subscribers are coming from rural areas in recent months, suggesting higher sales of its feature phone. The Arpu (average revenue per user) in this segment is far lower compared to the smartphone segment. As such, revenue growth may be slightly lower than subscriber growth.
More importantly, Jio’s growth is coming on the back of an increased thrust on capital spend. Cash burn can be expected to remain at high levels this year as well.
“Despite strong network metrics, Reliance spent US$2.5 billion in 1QFY19 alone, taking its telecom outlay to US$42.5bn… Telecom debt is already over ₹ 0.8 trillion, in our estimate, with total telecom liabilities likely to reach ₹ 1.9 trillion by March 2019 ( ₹ 1.4 trillion in March 2018) after adjusting for vendor dues, spectrum liabilities and the RCom deal that has begun to close," analysts at Jefferies India Pvt. Ltd said in a note to clients.
Of course, some of the spending is related to the company’s other businesses such as home broadband. With such a high outlay, the asking rate for these businesses in terms of revenues and profit is fairly high. So as much as Jio’s fast-paced growth is commendable, investors should also look at cash flows and return ratios while valuing it.

The cunning and repugnant Luciferic intellect creates problems, yet it is not capable of resolving them.
Many theories exist which resolve nothing and complicate everything. The vital problems of existence continue as always. Meanwhile the world is very close to the Third World War.
The intellectual animal, falsely called a human being, feels very proud of his subjective and miserable reasoning which resolves nothing and complicates everything.
In practice, the tremendous battle of thought has demonstrated to be the least indicative to resolve problems.
In this day and age of worldly crisis, the “know it alls” who want to resolve everything (yet resolve nothing) are very abundant.
The “know-it-alls” harm the fruits of the earth with their absurd hybrids. They also infect children with their vaccines of tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, typhoid, etc. Those “know-it-alls” boast of knowing everything, yet they know nothing. They cause harm with everything that they have created and they boast of being sapient. The mind creates problems which it is not capable of resolving. The game of the mind is in bad taste.
It is true today (as it was yesterday) that the poor human biped (like a wretched and miserable simian) is nothing more than a mechanical toy that is moved about by forces which he ignores.
Any cosmic event, any sidereal catastrophe, produces certain types of waves. Thereafter, these waves are captured by the unhappy animal mistakenly called a human being; he then converts them into world wars where millions of human machines unconsciously launch themselves to the stupid task of destroying millions of other human machines.
The comic and the tragic always walk side by side. Thus, the comical things of this situation are the flags, the mottoes and all the phrases which are invented by all of those unconscious machines. They proclaim that they are going to war because they have to defend democracy, freedom, their country, etc.
The great thinkers who are known in the world as journalists (the prostitutes of intelligence) ignore that these wars are the outcome of certain cosmic waves in action and that the armies on the battlefield move like automatic puppets under the dynamic impulse of those unknown forces.
The minds of these poor intellectual animals have never resolved a fundamental problem because the intellect is the faculty which allows us to comprehend that everything is incomprehensible.
The great intellectuals have totally failed; this is being demonstrated to satiety by the catastrophic state which we are in... Mr. Intellectual, there you have your world, the chaotic and miserable world that you have created with your theories! The facts are speaking for themselves. You proud intellectuals, you have failed!
The struggle of reasoning within its intimate nature is egocentric. We need a new faculty that is not egocentric.
We need the battle to cease so that thought will remain still and serene. This is only possible by deeply comprehending the entire mechanism of subjective and miserable reasoning.
While in the serenity of thought a new faculty is born within us. The name of this faculty is Intuition. Only intuition can resolve problems.
It is obvious that if we want to develop this new faculty, we first need to comprehend in depth the complicated associative mechanism of subjective reasoning. The basic center of mechanical reasoning is the psychological “I.” Such center is egotistical. This is why it can never resolve problems.
Intuition has nothing to do with that basic center of reasoning. Intuition is Christcentric.
Every problem has been created by the mind and exists as long as the mind sustains it. Every problem is a mental form which the mind sustains. Every mental form has a triple process: emergence, subsistence, and dissipation.
Every problem emerges, subsists, and then dissipates. The problem emerges because the mind creates it; it subsists as long as the mind does not forget it, and it dissipates or dissolves when the mind forgets it.
When thought ceases, beatitude is then born within us, and later, illumination comes. Before arriving at illumination we must first pass through beatitude. Three are the phases of transformation: non-thinking, beatitude, and illumination. Intuition is illumination. Every enlightened person resolves the most difficult problems.
Indeed, problems cease to exist when we forget them. We must not try to resolve problems, we must dissolve them. They are dissolved when they are forgotten. The problem is an ultra-sensible mental form with two poles, one positive and the other negative.
Do not be afraid; forget the problem. Thus, in this manner, the problem will be dissolved. Do you know how to play chess? A game of chess would not be a bad idea in order to forget the problem, or drink a cup of coffee or a good cup of tea and then go to the swimming pool and swim, or climb a mountain and laugh a little; it feels good to laugh. This will cause you to forget the problem. At any moment, a hunch comes and the problem is then resolved. Perhaps the solution is not to your liking, yet the truth is that the problem is resolved, or better said, dissolved.
A sage once stated, “Take care of the thing before it comes into existence, therein is where any solution lies, because let us not forget that the problem has been born and has its existence within the mind.” The fact that it is raining and that you have left your umbrella at home is not a problem indeed; neither is it a problem the fact that you have debts or that you have lost your job and it is urgent for you to pay your debts. These facts are relatively true in a relative world. However, problems are something that you must kill before they are born, or solve them later, bearing in mind that the more time we allow to elapse, the greater the giant (the problem that we will have to overcome) will be.
Fear is our worst enemy. The demon of fear does not like us to resolve problems. Are you afraid that you will be thrown out on the street because you do not have money to pay the rent? Okay, might they throw you out? So what? Do you by any chance know what new doors will be opened for you? Intuition knows it and that is why the intuitive person is not afraid. Intuition dissolves problems.
Are you afraid of losing your job? Okay, you might lose it, so what? Do you by any chance know what new job there will be for you? Intuition knows it and that is why the intuitive person is not afraid.
When the battle of thought ceases, intuition is born and fear ends. Intuition dissolves problems no matter how difficult they may be.

Tonight I tossed in a set of baseball songs, a little something for the 'pink moon', and for whatever reason, a couple Georgia O'Keeffe tracks to wrap it up. This is the last show for awhile without live guests. Beginning next week, I will have live music in the studio every Friday for the rest of the month if all goes as planned. Up and coming Massachusetts singer-songwriter Chris LaVancher will be my guest next week.

Legally Blonde follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, snobbery and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. When Elle's boyfriend, Warner, dumps her and heads to Harvard, claiming she's not "serious" enough, Elle takes matters into her own hands, As Elle begins outsmarting her peers, she realizes that law may be her natural calling after all.
This packet provides all the information you need to know to decide if you would like to be a part of this exciting production.
Thanks for reading and we look forward to bringing this classic Broadway musical to life with you all!
EVERY student, returning or new, must have one parent attend this mandatory meeting on Monday, July 15th, 7:00-7:30. It is IMPERATIVE that a parent attend so we can give you all the important info you need! If a parent does not attend this meeting, their child will be dropped from the show, unless prior arrangements have been made.
All rehearsals will be held at Rhythms Performing Arts (1114 First Street, Novato) until July 29th when we will move to Novato Theater Company Theater 5420 Nave Drive for tech week. Tech week rehearsals are MANDATORY - there can be no conflicts with these rehearsal dates.
We are planning 4 performances of Legally Blonde.
All actors will be called during all rehearsals. There will be some downtime for hanging out and having summer fun!
All shows are MANDATORY and students may not miss them for any reason except illness or family emergency. Students will be called between 1.5-2 hours before showtime for each performance.
After the final Sunday performance the cast will have a 45 minute strike to help pack and clean the theater. Then they will all get to stay for the cast party at the theater.
There are many things to do to put together a show, and therefore we ask for a parent volunteer from each family to fulfill TWO volunteer positions. However if this is not convenient for you, you have the option to pay the opt out fee of $40. Certain positions require expertise in a field (set, costumes, etc.) and most just require your time (backstage parent supervision, etc). Most jobs will require about 2 hours of work. If you LOVE volunteering or have a special skill that might be helpful, please email us.
We will have the volunteer list ready at our required parent meeting and at that time you can choose your position or pay the opt-out fee.
It is very important that we can communicate quickly with parents and students. We send out fairly frequent emails with calendar updates and other reminders.
We also use a group text app called GroupMe. We ask that students and parents download this app BEFORE our first rehearsal. (It is free in the app store). Then we will add you to our conversation and you will receive an invite on your phone. On the app you have the power to turn off notifications so it won’t drive you nuts. Plus, we will put the parents into a separate group from the students so the constant texts from the kids won’t make you crazy! Don’t worry, the kids chat will still be monitored by the directors! The app doesn’t give out your phone number to anyone but allows you to communicate with anyone in the group. We HIGHLY recommend using the app to stay in the know! We usually are able to respond faster to these group texts than emails or phone calls.
The Legally Blonde production costs $525, or $500 if you register before May 1. Your Rhythms account will be charged the full amount when you enroll. You must pay before our first rehearsal on July 15th or your child will be dropped from the production. You can pay by check, cash or credit card. We are not able to give refunds.
Your Production Fee includes your script and show t-shirt.
Parts of your costume will also be included, though we will ask each actor to provide some parts of their costume which we will discuss at the parent meeting.
We will start off with a quick dance and vocal warm-up. Then we will review the audition dance and perform it in small groups. Then each person will get a chance to go up one at a time and perform one song and two monologues of their choice (from the options handed out at the workshop). We may give you some feedback and ask you to do your scene one more time.
Callbacks are a chance for us to have actors try a couple specific parts that we think they would be good at. Everyone will get a callback. We will email you after auditions and let you know which parts you are called back for and give you some additional music or scenes to rehearse.
Auditioning is always nerve-racking. Just remember it’s okay to make mistakes or forget what you’re saying. We want you to succeed and are rooting for you to do your best, so let us know if you’re nervous so we can help you through it! We HIGHLY encourage everyone to audition - even if they are nervous. It is your first chance to get to know your fellow cast members. It is also very hard for us to cast someone in a fun part when we haven’t seen them in auditions.
Will everyone be in the play?
Will there be double casting?
Double casting is when two different actors are cast in the same role. They share performances so one actor will play the part in half the shows and the other actor plays the exact same part in the other half of performances. We will double cast some roles and will decide which roles to double after auditions.
Do I have to memorize my audition scene?
If you want to memorize your scene, that’s great! But it’s totally okay if you have your script in your hand during your audition.
Speak loudly and clearly. Act out the part with your body. Make a choice about your character – for example if you think Margot has a squeaky voice or Callahan has a funny walk, try it during your scene. Have fun and be confident! The more fun you bring to each character, the more excited your directors will be!
How do I get ready for auditions?
Practice your scene. Read it with your parents, your friends, your dog and by yourself. Look up any words you don’t understand. Practice the song of your choice.
Which scene should I practice?
You can practice as many as you’d like. Pick scenes that have situations or characters that are interesting to you. Everyone needs to perform at least one scene.
How do you know which roles I want to play?
On your audition form you can indicate which characters you are most interested in. Even if you don’t read for all of the characters, Kate and Amanda will know which parts you like.
Will I get to play a part I like?
Everyone will get a part that has lots to do. The more parts you put down on your paper, the better the chance you’ll get to play something you requested. You may get a part that you don’t even know about. Amanda and I sometimes write in roles for students who we think need to be featured in a special way and don’t fit into one of the other roles. So, give your part a chance! We can’t all play the title character.
By opening night, you will LOVE your character and be so excited to play the part. We try our best to make each part special and fun.
The character that I want to play doesn’t have a scene listed. What should I do?
We’ll only see a few scenes at auditions. Pick one or more of these ones to perform, and you’ll also have a chance to tell Kate and Amanda what other characters you’d like to play.
What if I have a friend who wants to audition but couldn’t come to the workshop?
When will I find out what part I got?
We will email you by Friday, June 14th to tell you what part you will be playing.
Elle Woods may appear like a typical blonde California sorority girl, but don't count her out. She is hardworking, optimistic and tenacious.
Margot, Serena and Pilar are Elle's trio of best friends and Delta Nu sisters.
Kate is a featured Delta Nu sister - the academic of the bunch.
Warner Huntington III is Elle's ex-boyfriend and caught between his former life with Elle and his newfound serious East Coast life with Vivienne.
Winthrop, Lowell and Pforzheimer are three admissions officers of Harvard Law School who eventually admit Elle into the program after some critical evaluation.

Aaron Schultz, Sundeep Agrawal Padamadan and Enid Hoopes are three featured law students with academic credits that would intimidate anyone.
Vivienne Kensington is the very opposite of Elle, if judging only by demeanor. She comes from a very conservative East Coast background and is everything that Warner needs to make a serious move to become a lawyer.
Whitney is Vivienne's law school friend and partner in mischief when it comes to bringing down Elle.
Professor Callahan is the most-feared professor at Harvard Law School.
Paulette is a hairdresser that befriends Elle when she needs it most.
Brooke Wyndham is a famous fitness video guru on trial for killing her husband.
Dewey is Paulette's brash ex-husband who lives in a trailer and holds her dog captive.
Chutney Wyndham has a really bad perm and an even worse attitude. She is Brooke's unhappy stepdaughter who is actually guilty for killing her father and framing Brooke.
Kyle is the UPS delivery man who Paulette has her eyes on each time his job brings him to the salon.
Salon Employees (3). Part of Paulette's entourage at the salon who are very adept at the "Bend and Snap."
Grandmaster Chad is a rapper who shows up while Elle is trying to study.
Featured Ensemble: Gaelen, Judge, Jet Blue Pilot, Saleswoman, Store Manager, Prison Guard, Bookish Client and Sabrina.
Audition songs and scenes will be posted in April. Please check back!
Start looking over the audition songs and monologues so you are ready for auditions on June 5th. Pick one song and two monologues. Audition materials will be posted by April.
Get ready for an awesome broadway experience!
As we get started on a new show of Rhythm & Rhyme Productions, we wanted to review the things that are most important to us as directors and let you all know what we hope your children will get out of being in the show.
The reason we (Amanda and Kate, the directors) love working together is we have the same philosophy about teaching: to provide a positive and warm environment for students to learn, express, and push themselves forward. We pride ourselves on giving kids a second place to call home. We try to be great role models in being kind, caring, and respectful of others. This is the most important thing to us because when you have those things, we find that we get the most out of the kids artistically as well.
Here’s a couple other ways you as parents can help us to help us create the environment we want and that you want for your children: please encourage your kids to build one another up, be inclusive, and be optimistic about the show. If they do have concerns that come up, please encourage them to discuss it with one of us. We will help, but only if we know about what is going on.
We are lucky to have amazing helpers that act as student assistant directors. We always choose high schoolers who are great role models for our actors. If your child has a problem or concern or need extra help on something from the show, they can also speak to these girls about it.
We are looking forward to a fantastic and positive semester with your kids. Musicals have made such a huge difference in our lives - they have helped us become confident, outgoing, team-oriented, and hard working; they also helped us build lifelong friendships. We hope that your kids experience those same feelings while participating in our musical.
Casting is a difficult process. Here are some thoughts and guidelines we want to share with you about how we approach casting.
Generally, we see casting as a “matching” of an actor’s abilities and talents to produce the very best show that we can.
We are directing musicals. The production numbers are the show-stoppers of musicals. Therefore, the music and dance are the most important elements to us. The students cast in the chorus represent the largest and most important parts of our shows. We also work very hard to give every student a special moment in the show, whether it be a featured dance part, a solo, or a funny line to make the audience laugh.
As to the principal roles, of which there are relatively few in any show, we cast them on the basis of the level of excitement, interest, humor, confidence and just plain stage presence that we see at the audition. These roles are never pre-cast. Nor are they “earned” by being in previous shows, taking private lessons, or enrolling in lots of Rhythms classes. The people who get those principal roles must be able to hold the audience’s interest on their own or the show will die when they are on stage alone.
We give these roles to the actors who show us what they can do that in the audition. What we see is what they get. We cannot rely on prior knowledge or experience with a given actor because there are just too many surprises, particularly with children whose personalities and attitudes change so quickly. The auditions also show us how prepared an actor will be at coming rehearsals. By being well prepared for auditions, actors can show us their work ethic as well as their excitement and interest in that particular show they are auditioning for.
Theater and musicals in particular are an ensemble effort. Everyone is equally involved in the creating and performing of a musical. Everyone is equally deserving of the credit and praise of a show well done.
It is our job, as the directors, to create the very best show possible and therefore cast who we feel will help create the level of performance that we are after.
We hope these thoughts have given you an idea of how we work, and particularly how we cast.

Yesterday morning I got a frantic call from one of my neighbors saying that there was a Box Turtle stuck in the window well under her deck and she couldn’t get it out. She had called several places but no one had returned her call and she had no idea how long it had been in there. Please come and help! I couldn’t go so I sent Phil to the rescue.
When she had gone down in the basement that morning, she heard a light tapping sound. She thought it was the vent from the dryer but it kept tapping and it wasn’t near the dryer. She looked around and there was a beautiful Box Turtle stuck in her window well, tapping on the window, but the window well was under the deck so she couldn’t get to it from outside.
She and Phil got the built-up sand out of the window track and were finally able to open it. Phil reached in with his gloves on while Wendy held the box. He was able to place the turtle in the box. They then brought it outside and released it where Wendy had seen some turtle nests in her yard a while back.
Kudos to Wendy and Phil for saving this beautiful turtle!
We looked out the window the other morning and caught a bit of movement in the yard. But it blended in so well to the background of wood chips. And there was a Common Box Turtle sauntering across our yard, headed for the woods across the way.
A Common Box Turtle is a little more than 5″ with a high-domed shell. It is dark brown with intricate, variable orange and yellow patterns. It loves to live in the woods and meadows.
Our neighbors have talked about Box Turtles in our neighborhood, so they will be so excited to see this new one!
Beautiful coloring, don’t you think?

I am using Nagios Core 3.5.1 in Ubuntu Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS.
Suddenly since yesterday, I am facing problem with force checks.
When I execute force check from web gui, its said "Your command request was successfully submitted to Nagios for processing."
I can even see it in nagios3.log " EXTERNAL COMMAND: SCHEDULE_FORCED_SVC_CHECK;host.ext;Network bandwidth;1541498445"
It works! it ads comment to host.
To be clear, are you saying the "Last Check Time" for the service isn't updating along with the check results?
and the command in your second line is calling $NOW which is a different case than $now and the variable wouldn't populate if you had that same this.
I'm glad to hear it is working again, but I agree it's not an optimal outcome because you are going to be unable to find the root cause.

The first Lagoon 450 S Sports Top in Australia has been handed over to its discerning owner, multihull connoisseur and champion, Tony Considine, by the technical commissioning team at The Multihull Group, Lagoon’s Queensland HQ at The Boat Works. Channel 7 were on hand to record the big event which was broadcast on the Gold Coast News that evening.
The Multihull Group’s State Manager Martin Pettit oversaw the handover of the new 450 S, named “Oscar”. He said the new model, which made its national debut at Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, caught Tony’s eye at the show in May and the deal was sealed on second viewing at the Sydney Boat Show.
“The Lagoon 450 S Sports Top was released worldwide in February this year,” said Martin. “This model has all the hallmarks of another global success story for Lagoon.
Tony’s competitive career spans three decades of success with a series of internationally recognised Grainger-designed multihulls, including “Trilogy” the racing trimaran which claimed no less than six national titles, and his current racing cat, the Grainger 10 “Mad Max” which is one of the fastest sailing catamarans on the circuit, holding its own against rivals at this year’s Audi Hamilton Island Race Week.
According to Martin, Lagoon catamarans are the world’s most popular cats, out-selling their nearest competitor brands two to one.
“Since Lagoon commenced building in France in 1982 they have sold over 3,500 boats. The previous model, Lagoon 440 Flybridge was one of their best-selling, with more than 660 boats cruising the world. Lagoon took onboard client and dealer feedback and developed the 450 Flybridge which has also proven successful followed by this new 450s.
Designed as a very fast sailing luxury cruising catamaran, the 450 S is more than capable of offshore cruising. It was designed by renowned French naval architects Van Peteghem Lauriot-Prévost, designers of some of the world’s most innovative racing boats, including the America’s Cup cat “Oracle USA 17”.
This Lagoon 450 S is luxurious, with teak decks in the cockpit, powered sheet winches, composite bimini with sliding sunroof with easy access to cabin top, and joystick inside at the chart table in case of inclement weather, but owners can modify their Lagoon however they please.
Launched with due ceremony at The Boat Works, Coomera using a state-of-the-art 100 Tonne Lift, Oscar is off to its berth at Marina Mirage, followed by a summer of cruising the east coast with friends and family.

Anne Burdick is the Chair of Media Design Practices (MDP), a graduate program at Art Center College of Design focused on designing for the future of information and communication technologies. To address the global and social dimensions of this work, the MDP recently established two tracks. In the Field track, students work on social issues in a real-world context—the first cohort just returned from working at UNICEF’s Innovation Lab in Kampala, Uganda. In the Lab track, students work with emerging ideas from technology and science—they recently worked with a neuroscientist from the Biophotonics Lab at CalTech on a project inspired by new sensing technology from Intel Research.
Anne Burdick is the author of the influential essay, “Graduate Education: Preparing Designers for Jobs That Don’t Exist (Yet)” in Adobe Think Tank in 2007. A regular participant in the international dialogue regarding research and advanced degrees, Anne believes that it is the job of graduate education to push the field in new directions and to invent new practices. “[Burdick] says that the days of being defined by your mode of output—illustration, web design—will soon be over. ‘The consideration will be more whether you are a designer who works on issues of a macro scale, such as global warming, or a nano scale, such as molecular design. Education and skills will be about the context of your work—the body, domestic policy—particularly as the boundaries continue to disappear between a physical space, an information space, a gaming space, and so on.” The Future of Design Education, Print Magazine, April 2011.
In her own practice, Anne Burdick designs experimental text projects in diverse media, for which she has garnered recognition, from winning the prestigious Leipzig Award for book design to being nominated for a Webby Award for her work with interactive texts and electronic literature. With Johanna Drucker, Peter Lunenfeld, Todd Pressner, and Jeffrey Schnapp, she is a co-author of the book Digital_Humanities, “…a compact, game-changing report on the state of contemporary knowledge production” (MIT Press). Her writing and design can be found in the Los Angeles Times, Eye Magazine, and Electronic Book Review, among others, and her work is held in the permanent collections of both SFMOMA and MoMA.
Anne Burdick studied graphic design at Art Center College of Design and San Diego State University prior to receiving a BFA and MFA in graphic design at California Institute of the Arts.
Here she is featured on a Scratching the Surface podcast episode.

It was confirmed early today that Montgomery Tsang, 24, of San Leandro, CA was pronounced dead at University Medical Center, after a call at the Speedway for medical assistance related to Tsang came in just before 6:15 a.m.
Our thoughts go out to the deceased’s friends and family.
Today we learned some very tragic news, that after attending the festival a guest of the show has passed away. We are deeply saddened by this news, and hope that everyone will join us in keeping his family and friends in their thoughts during this very difficult time. Dance music fans pride themselves in being part of a loving community and, as we get ready to start the second night of the show, we ask everyone to help us keep this event safe. Look after your group of friends, utilize the buddy system, and if you see something, say something. No one should ever hesitate to ask any of our medical staff, public safety personnel or Insomniac staff for help, or call 911 in case of an emergency. One death is one too many, and we all must do our part to keep each other safe, healthy and happy, tonight and every night.
According to Fox 5, police on Saturday reported making 29 narcotics-related arrests after night one. There were 249 medical calls and five hospital transports.
In a recent AMA on reddit, Insomniac CEO Pasquale Rotella talked about how important harm reduction is at festivals and shows, not just preventative measures. It is almost a given that someone will get something in, especially at a festival like EDCLV, and it’s important to be able to deal with crises at a moment’s notice. Read more about that particular topic here.

Growing up on a farm in Cedar, Kan., near Smith Center, Steve Kirchhoff always envisioned that he’d attend Kansas State University and study veterinary medicine. It was the thing to do, the place to be. Being a farm kid from Smith County near the Kansas-Nebraska border, he rarely entertained the possibility of taking a different path — until a friend invited him to the K-State College of Engineering’s open house weekend and his eyes were opened to a new world.
It’s a frosty December evening in 1980 in Manhattan, Kan. A roving cohort of Kansas State University chemical engineering students embark on an adventure to deliver holiday cheer by singing Christmas carols on the front porches at their professors’ homes.
Laughter and liveliness ensues as the professors endure the slightly off-key renditions of familiar classics, and then encourage their pupils to keep at their studies and earn their degrees — because their collective future as singers isn’t nearly as bright as the lights that adorn the town during the holidays.
According to two of the singing engineers, Susan and Spencer Tholstrup, it was good advice.
I remember how repulsive the Garbage Pail Kids were, yet I couldn’t help poring over the bizarre images. I preferred baseball cards. Check out the summer issue of Manhattan Magazine — the Engstrom story is on page 18 — or you may open a PDF of the story here.
Taken from this New York Times article.
Last night, I had what might have been the worst night’s sleep I’ve ever had. The combination of a furious Kansas storm and a malfunctioning apartment complex alarm system kept me tossing, turning and praying for just a few hours of silence. Alas, I’ve had what the advertisers call the “2:30 feeling” for most of the day. I decided an afternoon pick-me-up would come in the form of a Dr. Pepper from the vending machine.
In a matter of minutes and in an act of laziness, I descended five floors in an elevator, popped a dollar and a quarter (the latter of which came on loan from a stranger at the vending machines) in the buzzing neon behemoth and out came tumbling 20 fluid ounces of cool, crisp contentment. I took the elevator five floors up, and was on my way to chasing the sugar rush I’d been craving.
Maybe it’s the fatigue, maybe it’s the wacky weekend just hours away, but as I returned to my desk with the beverage in hand, I couldn’t help but think how easily I was able to access a refreshment and achieve rejuvenation. Didn’t it used to be a big deal to score a bottle of soda? Wasn’t it a special treat reserved for special occasions? And didn’t it usually involve walking a few blocks down the street to the local diner, all while absorbing some sunshine and passing friendly locals along the way?
I’d have loved to have done that — but I’m too tired.

I first heard about Changing the Face of Beauty (CTFOB) a couple of years ago. It wasn’t too long after I had attended the Canadian Down Syndrome Society Conference in Vancouver, BC where I had listened to Gail Williamson speak. Gail is mother to Blair, who has appeared in many television shows including CSI. She spoke of how when Blair was small he had asked whether he would “grow out” of Down syndrome. It was natural assumption given that Blair never saw pictures of people with Down syndrome in the media or advertising. As a talent agent in Los Angeles, Gail was determined to change this. So she did and began adding individuals with disabilities to her roster.
I have always been open to the idea of my children being in advertising or acting as I, myself was a child actor. I didn’t continue with the occupation too long (as it wasn’t really my passion) but it did pay for some of my college tuition, was a lot of fun and a great experience that developed my confidence, poise and people skills as a pre-teen. Consequently, when Peekaboo Beans approached me about having Ella participate in one of their photo shoots, I jumped at the opportunity. Ella loved it! She was a natural and the camera loved her.
Peekaboo Beans is a forerunner however, and not many companies can wrap their corporate heads around the idea of using less than perfect models to promote their products but as Katie Driscoll, the founder of CTFOB says, companies need to recognize individuals with disabilities as an untapped market. After all, just because a person has a disability doesn’t mean that they don’t buy clothes, go to the movies or eat at restaurants.
On a personal level, however, and as a mother, it goes beyond recognizing these individuals as consumers. The lack of individuals with disabilities in the media promotes the idea that these individuals are undesirable and not beautiful. Nothing could be further from the truth. I want Ella to know that she is beautiful. I want Ella to know that even though she has a visible disability it does not mean that she is not worthy to be in advertising, is less attractive or lives a lesser life.
This past Saturday, I had the privilege of seeing months of planning climax in Canada’s first Changing the Face of Beauty headshot clinic. This fundraiser for CTFOB involves providing head shots for twenty individuals with various disabilities in exchange for a donation. The donated money then goes to educating the media as well as those planning on going into marketing, promoting models and actors with disabilities and creating a stock image database (something I do through my own photography work as well). In our case, the hours of planning, the hours of shooting and editing photography, who included myself as well as my friend Melissa, the venue and many other aspects of the day were all donated so that every penny could go towards the work of the organization.
That being said, the event itself was so much more than just snapping a few photos. It was a coming together of community. Many of the families who came out to the event, we had only known through Facebook as part of our amazingly supportive online Down syndrome community. Over the years we have watched many of the children grow but only through photographs shared with pride online. As a result it was so incredibly special to finally meet them in person. Then, to watch them charm the camera was inspiring because the truth is, is that these individuals ARE beautiful – inside and out. They have joy in their eyes and love in their hearts.
I would like to give a huge shout out to Maria and Melissa – you were such a great team to work with. Thank you to The Wheelbarrow Gardener for providing such a lovely space. Thank you to Peekaboo Beans for outfitting our models, SPUD for providing healthy snacks, David’s tea for providing cups of comfort, Jimmy, for capturing our day, and Mastermind toys for providing loot bags for our participants. Finally, thank you to everyone who came out and are helping change the face of beauty in Canada.
Love this! Would love to get my girl to be a part of this someday, too. Ella looks so beautiful!!

It's been over a month since last I checked in here. There has been plenty going on, and I need to update a little. In May we enjoyed a visit from my uncle and grandmother. Grandma Fran is all over the kids, and Uncle Cliff is so funny, the kids enjoy their visits very much. Cliff took us out to eat--in honor of Sebastian's birthday--to the same BBQ place we went to with them last year (incredible ribs and cole slaw!). Grandma Fran will be 88 next month, and plans to come for an annual visit for as long as she is able to do so.
Our hens have been laying well, but yesterday there was a sudden drop in egg-count, and so we need to go on an egg-hunt and find where the girls may be leaving them.
The kitty above is Jake. His sister Lizzy went missing last month, and he's been a little lonely without her. We are guessing that a car or coyotes took her. she was around 8 years old, which isn't bad for a barn cat who hasn't set foot inside any structure other than a barn her entire life.
Fiona, our Jersey, is due to freshen any day now. She is bagging up and moving around very slowly. It will be nice for us to have our own milk again, although less nice for Sebastian, our primary milker who will have to go back to work, and Gabriel, who will be milker-in-training.
We drove to Franklin, TN for what was a first concert for our kids (a drawback of rural living is that it is a bit tougher to get to cultural events). Music City Roots, live from the Loveless Barn, is aired on radio weekly. We drove an hour and a half to get there and ate Little Caesar's Pizza in the van to save money!) and had a wonderful time. Our main reason for going was the indie band Scythian. I am a huge fan of theirs, as are a couple of my kids, and it was a delight to watch them live for the first time. We had to leave before the very end of the show, as Gemma was beginning to fade.
This past weekend we went to the Chapel of Divine Mercy for an ordination Mass. Ordained to the priesthood was Deacon John Broussard, CPM. The photos above are of his first blessings--to his father, to his superior, Fr. David Wilton, CPM, and to his sister, who suffers from cerebral palsy and whose sufferings she attached to her prayers for her brother's vocation. It was a beautiful Mass.
In other news, the drywall is up in the new Patch O' Dirt farmhouse, and next week the taping and finishing of it will be started. Bret has hired that work out, and is working a few jobs to pull in some money before he gets going on doors, floors, light fixtures and trim. It's neat to see it with the interior walls finally up!
And it is the end of an era: we got a mini-van. We are getting ready to sell our 12 passenger GMC now that everyone but Gemma is out of car seats, and we purchased a Chevy Ventura. It should cut our gasoline costs in half, which, if you live in the middle of nowhere, can be considerable. However, if you happen to be in our region and looking for a dependable gas-hog for your burgeoning family, email me and I'll hook you up!
We are getting ready to celebrate Father's Day on Sunday with a cholesterol-laden meal of pork ribs, beans, potatoes, corn, maybe coleslaw, and a cheesecake for dessert! Too rich for me--I'll likely stick to the sides and pass on the cheesecake...every time I eat too many different things at one setting, I end up with a stomach ache and feeling miserable.
Oh--and I'm still running 6 miles, 3 days a week. But I decided on Monday to see what I could do, and I went 8 miles, non-stop! I was pretty excited, having been a non-athlete all my life.
And that's all the news worth telling. We'll see when I make it back here!

The Yimin Center is a project begun by the CPID in early 2014 in collaboration with Yimin Green Life, an organization formed to help improve the small agricultural town of Hekou in Inner Mongolia, China. Like many rural towns in China, Hekou is experiencing a declining population as younger generations increasingly migrate to urban areas to pursue education and work opportunities, as well as in response to governmental policies seeking to increase urban density and centralize farming operations. One such policy has resulted in the closing of a large number of rural schools, forcing young families to move to urban areas or commute long distances in order for their children to attend school. The CPID’s design of the new community center in Hekou is located on the grounds of one such closed school, now being retrofitted to provide housing for the town’s elderly population remaining in the town, a strategy the Chinese government is considering for other rural areas in this region.
After receiving feedback from our clients and the community over the course of multiple trips, a design was developed that draws on the local building vernacular while introducing modern amenities. In addition to providing meeting and gathering spaces for the town and the immediate community of senior residents, the central focus of the design was to respond to the extreme climatic conditions of the area by maximizing passive strategies supplemented by environmentally friendly active systems. From the beginning, Yimin Green Life was concerned about the negative environmental impacts they were seeing in Hekou and throughout China as a result of human impact and requested a design that could serve as a model for sustainable strategies in the region.
The Yimin Center features composting toilets, rainwater collection, a solarium to capture winter heat, photovoltaic panels, and solar collectors that will allow for radiant heating in the floors and supply hot water to the residents. The design aims to capitalize on the inherent intelligence of the vernacular, which employs strategies of thermal mass and ideal solar orientation, while introducing more efficient building methods. One notable example of this is the inclusion of a thermal mass heater to provide heat not just for cooking, but to store heat in the benches and walls of the North facing spaces. Locals will recognize this as a more efficient version of the traditional Chinese kang, an ingenious system of heating a bed on a masonry frame when the adjoining fire stove is used for cooking.
The building contains meeting rooms, an office, gathering spaces, a community kitchen, a gallery, a solarium, and bathrooms and showers on the first floor. The second floor contains a small apartment space for visiting guests, and a loft geared toward the youth in the village, with areas to play and learn, including a reading net above the kang bench to provide a playful space that also allows for natural light to enter the space below and facilitates air circulation. The site is arranged around a central square to provide a space for the community to hold special events, as well as daily routines like morning exercise and tai chi. There are also shared and individual garden plots, which will be put to good use by a population with a lifetime of agricultural experience.
Construction documents were created in collaboration with an engineering firm in Inner Mongolia, and construction began in Summer 2016. Reid Weber, CPID Student Fellow (2014-2015) and graduate of the inaugural class of the PSU Graduate Certificate in Public Interest Design, traveled with Yimin Green Life partners to oversee the beginning of construction and finalize a few of the design elements on site. The building is expected to be finished by Spring 2017, and the CPID is currently working toward a plan of gathering post-occupancy evaluation and building performance analysis data. Following building evaluation, the CPID will continue discussions with local officials who have expressed interest in making this model for dozens of other nearby towns facing similar situations.

The Mother Bears are such an easy knit, great for using up oddments, and carting about in one’s purse – plus you can personalize them in so many different ways to meet your knitting style (most of my bears wear skirts, or shorts – after all – most of Africa is warm!). Founder Amy Berman is my neighbor, so I know the great work the group does is real and legitimate!
I’ve been seeing a lot of these stuffed toys coming up on Pinterest lately, they are adorable! I love that most of them come with their own little outfits – cable cardigans and shorts – to dress them in.
I’ve been giving those knitted bear’s out in the ER for over 10 years. All with a unique look. All by the same knitter. So lovely for the kids.
Ha. Glad to know I’m not the only kidless person with an attraction to little knitted animals. I haven’t knit one yet because I’ll probably become obsessed and be able to star in my own reality show about how to decorate your home with knitted bears.
I just knit a Brambles Bear (http://www.ravelry.com/projects/heylucy/brambles-bear) for my niece, and was very tempted to keep it for myself. I will probably knit another to keep. I love little softies like these, they don’t take long, even if they can be a bit fiddly.
The rabbit ones is so cute! I’ve got to get my hands on that project for a simple, quick gift. LEAVE NO BABY UN-KNIT!
Oh… I have a soft spot for stuffed, knitted toys and don’t see why they can’t be made for adults, too – we do have a right to cute, soft, fun thingies!
My personal favourite is the bunny pattern by Julie Williams: (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bunny-girl-in-a-dotty-dress). Not only is it producing a perfectly well shaped bunny (!), but the pattern is remarkable detailed with lots of information and photo-tutorials. She must have spent a lot of time in preparing it!
I also really like Alan Dart’s toys – the man is very gifted.
Only downside to toys is that they take a great deal of time to make…. but it’s usually fun time, so it’s OK.

Why Add Mental Health Cover?
Which Providers Offer Mental Health Cover?
What is Mental Health Cover?
The waiting lists for psychiatric care are among the longest on the NHS. Many patients have to wait months or even years for counselling or an appointment with a consultant psychiatrist.
As such, people in need of mental healthcare may be forced to choose between excessively long wait times on the NHS or expensive treatments from private clinics.
That’s why many insurance providers offer mental health insurance cover: a Private Health Insurance add-on that offers full or partial cover for private mental health treatment.
Note that mental health cover is not typically provided as part of a standard Medical Insurance policy – you’ll need to add it on in most cases.
Doing so will increase your premiums, but it can be a very worthwhile benefit if you need it.
What Mental Healthcare Will My Private Medical Insurance Cover?
Private Health Insurance as is designed to cover the treatment of acute health conditions, which are conditions that require typically short-term treatment and can be cured or reversed.
Chronic conditions on the other hand are long-term conditions that can only be managed as opposed to cured. These are not covered by Health Insurance.
It’s easier to differentiate acute physical health problems from chronic ones than it is for mental health issues. That is why some insurers limit the cover they provide per mental health condition.
Some insurers will only allow you to claim for a specific mental health problem for a maximum period of time. Others place a strict financial cap on benefits you can receive.
What Mental Health Treatments Are Covered?
Insurance providers typically categorise different types of mental healthcare as inpatient or outpatient.
Inpatient care is defined as care and treatment that requires the use of a hospital bed. In the case of mental healthcare, admission to a psychiatric hospital would fall under this category.
As an inpatient in a private psychiatric hospital, you will have access to a range of different therapies, personally assigned nurses and psychiatrists and recreational facilities.
Typically, mental health care insurance cover will cover the costs of your assessments, treatments and any medications that you may be prescribed while staying at a private psychiatric hospital.
Outpatient care covers any treatments or consultations that don’t require the use of a bed. This typically includes therapy sessions, diagnostic sessions and psychiatric assessments.
Today, most treatments for mental health problems are outpatient. Initial assessments, consultations, counselling and therapy sessions are considered as outpatient treatments.
Why Add Mental Health Cover to My Private Medical Insurance?
According to the NHS 1 in 4 people suffer from mental health problems each year.
Moreover, the number of people seeking out mental health treatment in the UK has continued to rise, increasing by 14.2% between 2000 and 2014.
If you add mental health care insurance to your policy, you will be able to access psychiatric treatments and therapies with a vastly reduced waiting time compared to the NHS.
Meanwhile, adding outpatient cover to your policy can also speed up your diagnosis and offer more control over when and where you receive your treatments.
What is the Best Health Insurance with Mental Health Cover?
Aviva’s optional mental health cover will provide up to 28 days as an inpatient or day-patient and £210 per week to cover inpatient specialists’ fees. Their full outpatient cover option will also cover up to £2,000 of psychiatric treatment following referral.
AXA’s optional mental health cover covers inpatient psychiatric treatments, including diagnostic tests and medications, as well as mental health outpatient cover for psychiatric, psychologist or CBT appointments. These benefits have no yearly limit providing the condition doesn’t become chronic.
Bupa offer a standard 28 days of mental health treatment as a day-patient or inpatient as part of their core cover (providing the condition doesn’t become chronic). If you add outpatient cover to your policy, they will also give full outpatient cover for therapy sessions and psychiatric consultations.
The Exeter’s optional mental health cover on its Health+ policy provides coverage for specialist treatments as an inpatient or day-patient, including accommodation and nursing for up to 28 days. Out-patient consultations and treatment by psychologists and cognitive behavioural therapists are also covered in full.
Vitality’s optional psychiatric cover includes sessions with a psychiatrist/psychologist covered to a limit of £15,000 or £20,000 per year. Psychiatric outpatient treatments are limited to an allowance of £1,500 per year.
Given that the extra cost of adding mental health cover to certain policies could be notable, it can be worth speaking to an expert about the pros and cons of this additional benefit.

Harrison Ford delivered a stark warning about climate change as he prepared to travel to Dubai to discuss ocean conservation.
Ahead of the three-day event, Ford recorded a video message in which he urged viewers to join him at the summit, which will be attended by ministers, government officials and business leaders from all over the world.
Ford started his message by asking what it would be like to live in a world that is four degrees warmer.
“Fresh water shortages, higher greenhouse gas emissions, unprecedented fires, worldwide destruction. Is this the world we want?" he asked.
Ford, whose films have made more money at the box office than any other actor in history, has a long track record of environmental activism.
He is vice chair of the Conservation International charity, has contributed to a series of environmental documentaries and launched public attacks on climate change deniers.
As well as the environment, gender is set to be a major theme at this year’s summit. A gender balance forum will be held, where policies for promoting women will be shared by delegates.
Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, will also take part in discussions with Emirati entrepreneurs.
Sheikha Manal bint Mohammed bin Rashid, President of the UAE Gender Balance Council and Chairperson of the Gender Balance Forum, said organisations should work across borders to achieve greater equality between the sexes.
Other speakers on gender issues will include Jose Angel Gurria, Secretary General of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and Mona Al Marri, Vice President of UAE Gender Balance Council.
Another theme will be humanitarianism in the Arab world. Among those sharing their experiences will be a woman who moved from Kuwait to help children in Yemen, a Sudanese man who has helped distribute 40 million meals to the hungry and homeless and someone who established a foundation to shelter and rehabilitate elderly homeless people living on the streets of Egypt.
Saeed Al Eter, chairman of the Dubai Council for the Future Humanitarian Work, said: “Aspiring to improve and develop the right tools of humanitarian work is a noble goal that unites societies and people.
"Humanity doesn’t belong to a race or ethnicity, but is an instinct that individuals and corporations can practice.
“Through harnessing and sharing its available resources with humanitarian institutions and organisations, the UAE aims to provide this sector with new mechanisms that allow philanthropists to fill gaps and address current challenges.
"Thus, the new developed system will contribute to improving charitable work and alleviating people’s suffering around the world."

North Korea is making progress on a submarine-launched ballistic missile system but any deployment of the technology is years away, a USA think tank said, as the UN Security Council promised action over Pyongyang's latest test.
North Korea is threatening to shoot the bright lights aimed at their guard posts in the Demilitarized Zone, accusing the USA and South Korea of "deliberate provocations".
The North Korean People's Army said the lights threatened the safety of their soldiers and disrupted their patrols, according to the Associated Press.
North Korea further threatened to smash the United States with "nuclear hammers of justice" in the wake of the successful missile test which was immediately condemned by all members of the UN Security Council including Pyongyang's long-time benefactor China.
The US has additionally moved to deploy the full fleet of its nuclear bomber triad - the B-1, B-2, and B-52 - to Guam - in addition to deploying the THAAD anti-missile system to South Korea providing Pyongyang with a limited window to strike against South Korea or the United States or find its nuclear arsenal forever deemed incapable of mounting a successful offensive against the West's defensive measures.
Earlier this month, the 15-member council had been unable to agree on a US-drafted statement to condemn North Korea's August 3 launch of a ballistic missile that landed in or near Japanese-controlled waters.
Under the Korean War armistice, the two sides are barred from carrying out any hostile acts within or across the 2.5-mile-wide DMZ.
In Pyongyang, North Korean Foreign Ministry official JonMin Dok told Associated Press Television News in an interviewthat the US-led discussions at the United Nations were a "terribleprovocation" and that the country is developing nuclearweapons because of "outrageous nuclear intimidation" by theUnited States.
"The best way for the USA to escape a deadly strike from us is by refraining from insulting our dignity and threatening our security, by exercising prudence and self-control", Jon said.

I know I have been posting a lot of academic/Bible study type stuff lately, but honestly that is what I am most immersed in right now. More specifically I am immersed in Romans. By the end of the week I should post an article about my “Black Friday” experience. Until then I have been trying to offer some things for those of you who are really trying to absorb Romans right now.
This Sunday I will be preaching Romans 8:12-25. Back in the summer I wrote a paper for a seminary class on this passage. For those who care to read it, here is the link. For those of you who have a Turabian fetish please know the grader killed me on it. In rebellion to Turabian I have not corrected those mistakes! I desire to be a man who remains 1/64th of an inch off at all times.
In any event Romans 8 is an incredible passage that describes the plight of the Spirit filled soul in the midst of a sinful world. It is a crescendo in the Biblical corpus. For those who were at RBC on November 23 I am sure you were greatly impacted by Skinner’s recitation of the passage. It is incredibly meaningful when we can find ways to digest a passage of Scripture from a lot of different angles. I suppose the submission of this paper would add another angle.
"It is a crescendo in the Biblical corpses"
Do you mean corpus? Most of the biblical corpses fell in the wilderness wanderings.
I am quite the wordsmith, or is it smythe, or smyth?

I didn’t see mention of BSRM.
It's a nice idea, but I'd have to say this is pie-in-the-sky. Nobody would commute to Boston from west of Springfield unless there was a high-speed train that could make Springfield-Boston in under an hour.
For now, I think it would be much better to focus on getting service to Nashua and eventually Manchester, and adding a couple trains to Springfield.
I think that greenfield would be an excellent east west connector for vermont and western mass folks who want to get to north station with its access to downeast and north shore destinations as well as cambridge, mass general, and the garden. as far as north adams is concerned it would be at least initially be worth a shuttle bus service connecting to Greenfield for a boston train or the knowledge corridor.
So, would this be an extension of the Fitchburg Line?
If you're going out all the way to North Adams, you might as well bring New York into the mix and send trains all the way to Albany. I imagine that North Adams is more economically connected to there than it is to Boston, and that also gives you an inland route between NYC and Boston.
Good luck getting CSX and PAR to allow this run. North Adams was NYC and had connections with Harlem line trains at Chatham to NY City.
Better off bringing back the Inland route trains to Boston!
I think Pan Am would love this idea! What better way for PAS / District 3 to get its sorry track (west of Westminster CPF-335) rehabbed and upgraded to 40mph MAS for freight is there? Pan Am can say they don't like the proposal but that would just be a negotiating tactic to get a few more sidings as well as heavier rail installed, and PTC gear outfitted on additional locomotives all paid for by ever generous MassDOT. Plus maybe Pan Am could get the Boston - N Adams upgrade extended a few more miles to Williamstown. Oh, and get MassDOT to pay for (or at least make substantial $ contribution to) enlarging Hoosac Tunnel to full domestic double stack clearances. I think NS would endorse this idea, too.
I agree. They got a great upgraded railroad when the Downeasters started running on part of District 2.

When I was a little kid, growing up in Somerville, I remember that the Cambridge B&M station (at Porter Sq.) had a sign touting the Minuteman to Chicago! The train hadn't operated for years, but there was still a sign.
Backshophoss wrote: Good luck getting CSX and PAR to allow this run. North Adams was NYC and had connections with Harlem line trains at Chatham to NY City.
This would likely be on the B&M the whole way, not CSX.
I thought the line west of Wachusett got too curvy & slow to be practical.
Let's not forget that commuter rail used to run out to Gardner. It didn't go well, but that was then and this is now. I doubt the North Adams proposal has commuting in mind as part of the plan. But who knows?
Unless James Earl Jones does a "Build It and They Will Come" voiceover that hypnotizes the Great and General Court into showering money on the PAS part of the FML, this -- to use technical phrasing -- ain't gonna happen. The Honorable Gentleman will be able to tell his constituents that he tried and also be able to blame the failure on others.
Even with double track and 60 gravel/70 stone mph MAS in The Minuteman days, it was a 3+ hour trip one-way. Where is the supporting population density or points of interest to cause people to consume almost 1 full work-day for a round-trip on someone else's schedule?
If the rep wants to help his district, mebbe money for double-stacking the tunnel so the FML because more of a serious competitor.

As a family caregiver of a loved one with serious mental illness who receives no help from the current publicly funded community system, I was intrigued by Michael Decter’s words. He suggested the upcoming overhaul of health care could be a way of using Cancer Care Ontario’s expertise and model to improve mental health.
I had breast cancer surgery in 2017 and am amazed at the well-integrated system of compassionate and knowledge-informed care before, during and following surgery at the local hospital. We need this model in mental illness treatment.
Currently, public funds go to community mental health agencies that are often dominated by rigid ideology of the recovery model, which denies the most seriously ill getting service. Sadly, community agencies serve the easiest to serve and not the ones who are in dire need and end up homeless.
Public funds also go to non-evidence-based programs, when the money could be better used in evidenced-based treatments.
Any overhaul of the current system, needs to look at more intelligent ways of spending the money.

When (and how) to follow.
Don’t talk about what happened until after the crisis is solved.
Clear expectations include a goal, a path and appropriate guidance.
Why someone did something cannot be observed. I must ask.
Disagreement is a necessary part of success.
Disagreements need to be respectful to be productive.
My emotions are my responsibility.
Reality is a conglomerate of the perceptions. My perception is only one of many.
Having tough conversations is never fun. Gossiping usually is. One helps the other hurts.
Collective success is an individual responsibility.
Effective communication has four parts: Hearing, listening, understanding and acting. Miss one and the communication fails.
What you heard is more important than what I said.
Success is always on the other side of fear.
Fear will keep me mediocre.
Bravery is moving forward in spite of fear not without it.
Trust my followers and catch them when they stumble.
I always want to be part of the solution and that means I have to be willing to lead, follow and get out of the way as appropriate. Do any of these leadership traits strike a chord with you? Do you disagree with any of them? What important ones did I leave out?

Before I start diving into the Holiday cooking, I wanted to share my creation for this week's Stamp Ink Paper color challenge. As we are approaching the holiday seasons, I thought this color combination would be a bit challenging to incorporate - and I was right!
Although these colors aren't your traditional colors for Christmas, I thought I would give it a whirl. I love how it turned out. The most time consuming part was coloring in the holly leaves and berries with my blender pen. Definitely not a card that you can mass produce with limited time, but perfect for that special friend or family member.
I used the Stampin' Up Peaceful Wreath set from the Holiday catalog along with the Wonderful Wreath Framelits. The basic black background of the card really accents the Cucumber Crush and Watermelon Wonder colors. I hope you have enjoyed my creation and will join in the fun and creativity. As always, any items created on my page are available for purchase. If you want to get your craft on and create this card yourself, I have listed the supplies below for your convenience. As always.... Happy Stampin'!
Wow Kim! You rocked this challenge! I absolutely adore this card! Your banners and beautiful wreath really pop against that black background! Love your linen thread bow on the wreath too! Thanks so much for joining us at SIP for our color challenge this week!
Gorgeous card Kim! That wreath is beautiful and it really pops against the black background. So glad you joined us this week at Stamp Ink Paper!
Gorgeously done! Perfect way to use the challenge colors. Thank you so much for joining our Color Challenge at Stamp Ink Paper this week.

SINGAPORE (THE NEW PAPER) - Learn the art of compromise with this boozy chocolate mousse recipe. This year, I turned to the ready-to-use cake mix from Betty Crocker. I added two tablespoons of Cointreau to the cake mix for extra flavour.
The chocolate mousse recipe is adapted from a Belgian friend's recipe and combined with the recipe from the eighth edition of The Professional Chef by The Culinary Institute of America. My friend's recipe does not contain cream, but I find whipped cream gives the mousse a smoother texture.
Add a dash of colour with fresh raspberries, blackberries, mint, store-bought whipped cream, and use a vegetable peeler to shave chocolate as a topping. Best to consume the chocolate mousse the next day.
1. Heat a saucepan with water 3cm deep. Keep the heat on low, as the water should be simmering, barely boiling. Over the saucepan, place a metal bowl with the chocolate and butter. Stir to make sure the chocolate is melted evenly. Once the chocolate is melted, turn off the heat and set it aside to cool to room temperature.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of the Cointreau and rum each to the chocolate mixture and stir. Set aside.
3. Place egg yolks in a dry mixing bowl and beat for 30 seconds. Add sugar. Continue beating until the mixture is pale yellow.
4. Add the chocolate mixture into the beaten egg yolks. Add the salt and stir through. Set aside.
5. Place egg whites in a dry mixing bowl. Whisk the egg whites into soft peaks.
6. Pour the whipping cream into a dry mixing bowl. Whisk at low speed for a minute, then increase the speed. Whisk until soft peaks form.
7. Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture.
8. Fold the cream into the chocolate mixture.
9. Place remaining Cointreau and rum in a deep dish.
10. To assemble each trifle, dip a piece of chocolate cake in the alcohol mixture and place it at the base of a glass jar.
11. Spoon 1½ tablespoons of the chocolate mousse into the jar. Place another piece of alcohol-dipped chocolate cake into the jar and cover with more chocolate mousse, leaving an allowance of 1.5cm so that the mousse does not touch the jar cover.
12. Seal the jar and refrigerate overnight. Do the same for the other jars.
