"It is too bad that few if any of the members of my party ever mention the firefighters and others who died on 9/11. All that Pelosi, Reed, Murphy, Biden and the others seemed to be concerned about are the civil liberties of the terrorists."Sure FDR... Funny - because it is the republican side of the aisle that tries to turn any remembrance of 9/11 into a military parade. Why, in New Milford, do they even bother to have Veterans show up in uniform to talk at the 9/11 remembrance ceremonies every year that I have seen it? The right has tried to do this to all of the September 11th memorial ceremonies everywhere across the country and it is pure frickin' propaganda.
It is the GOP trying to inject the military and politics into a ceremony where they have no reason to be. If you don't recognize this then I truly pity your ignorance on what has happened in America, and particularly to the the far right GOP. The party of endless failed wars.
McCain has so little respect for soldiers that he lies about his own service.
And meanwhile you had the left fighting to get real medical issues recognized and treated for everyone that survived working on the scene of ground zero. Ya know... Fighting for the firemen, the police and their families to be treated in a manner respectful of their heroism on that day. Sadly we have to fight tooth and nail against the same warmongering GOP roadblocks every single day to get them to treat Veterans coming home from Afghanistan and Iraq with the health care that they deserve for their service.
Over the years neocon warmongering, lies and utter and complete failure to be fiscally and morally competent , responsible or even, simply, humane has resulted in boatloads of traditional and sane conservatives like Susan Eisenhower walking away from the GOP and their insane policies. They know for certain that they can no longer beat the idiot neocons in their own party.
The disgruntled republican voter? Shock! Awe! They are real. They are better off becoming indies, like Eisenhower did, and supporting more sane candidates that they can pick and chose from any party but the GOP.
I have decided I can no longer be a registered Republican. For the first time in my life I announced my support for a Democratic candidate for the presidency, in February of this year. This was not an endorsement of the Democratic platform, nor was it a slap in the face to the Republican Party. It was an expression of support specifically for Senator Barack Obama.
I had always intended to go back to party ranks after the election and work with my many dedicated friends and colleagues to help reshape the GOP, especially in the foreign-policy arena. But I now know I will be more effective focusing on our national and international problems than I will be in trying to reinvigorate a political organization that has already consumed nearly all of its moderate "seed corn."
And now, as the party threatens to trivialize what promised to be a serious debate on our future direction, it will alienate many young people who might have come into party ranks.
And still, to this day, the far right wing in control of the GOP continues to be stupid and the media refuses to call them on it.
We told you that Joe Lieberman was a neocon and a supporter of bush's failed policies to his core. We told you that long before it became politically popular to tell the truth about Joe. McCain is no different in his support of endless wars and fiscal insanity.
This from the NewsTimes article:
In 2006, Greenwich Democrat Ned Lamont -- backed by a youthful group of Internet-savvy anti-war Democrats -- took on Lieberman for his support of Bush's Iraq war. Lieberman lost the Democratic primary but got a reprieve through a loophole in Connecticut election law that allowed him to form his own party and petition his way onto the November ballot.Those of you who talk about the internet savvy of Ned Lamont supporters would do well to realize that we are also politically savvy, as well as being well informed in our policy opinions. We are always well ahead of the media in recognizing the failures of policies and politicians.
And, more often than the media or the right wing echo chamber ever is, we are proven correct.
Relegating us to a notion of only being "internet savvy" and simply "anti-war" (a bold faced lie) is a pitiful attempt to diminish that which we do so much better than 99% of you failures in the media these days.
Tell your readers the truth: Sure... some of us are anti-war. A reasonable position if you are really pro-life. BUT we are, for the most part, anti-ILLEGAL INVASION AND OCCUPATION. We are anti-ILLEGAL SPYING ON AMERICANS. We are anti-NEOCON-REPUBLICAN... Yep. Even the conservative and libertarian republicans that walk among us now.
But that doesn't fit your media agenda, does it? That would be the truth. And that would not belittle our position. I know it pains you to actually have to admit we exist, but do you have to be so oblivious as to why dead tree media is dying and Blogging is on the rise? It is your fucking job on the line you hack journalists.
While I was at the NewsTimes I decided to go take a look at Eugene's Driscoll's movie Blog because I was drawn to a post title on the front page:
"OBAMA BIDEN MILEY CYRUS SCANDAL"Yep... The media pushing the "Black man coming after your white women!" meme straight out Rove and Luntz's playbook. Absolutely nothing in there that has anything to do with the title.
Just a Blaring title to catch people's roving eyes.
Being somewhat more responsible, timely and ethical in my writings, here, I take the time to point out the obvious in his first part of the story over there as well as question his misleading choice of title.
Anyone with half a brain didn't have to wait for the text message to find out Biden was the VP choice since the Secret Service were dispatched to protect Biden the night before.
And if you really wanted to get the internet's attention, Eugene, you would simply start posting the truth about gigolo McCain's (the guy with the sugar mama Cindy...) warmongering campaign to continue corrupt bush administration failures instead of misleading titles to insinuate scandals on the left side when there aren't any and raising the bigot factor up a notch.
While the rest of America is busy trying to figure out how many homes McCain can't remember he owns OR if he paid his taxes on all of them... Feel free to continue to be well behind the curve. It only continues to make real Bloggers look more competent and you, well, not so much.
Here is Eugene's underwhelming response to my comment:
Uh, this is blog about movies . . . but thanks for the wacky rant!Wow! He sure told me... He writes something that is linked prominently on the front page of a news paper site that is a blatant fabrication and my rant is wacky.
Nice try Eugene but:
"OBAMA BIDEN MILEY CYRUS SCANDAL"This post is a pitiful attempt to plant misleading BS in the media in the hopes of tainting Obama with innuendo in the public mind. And even if this was done unintentionally, then you have still failed the public.
"Fox 61's Rick Hancock says he received the Obama text at 3:28 a.m. He posted the news on his blog at 3:33 a.m., according to CTWeblogs.
Just before his head hit the pillow (I assume) Rick raised an interesting point:
"Media coverage of all of these people getting the text would have been a great PR move. Essentially, Obama made a 3:30 a.m. booty call to his supporters.""
He even took the time to add the "booty call" comment for extra effect in the "black man coming for the white women" BS. Pure Willie Horton there. Not the fake stuff the media distracts with, but real McCain campaign Willie Horton material.
What he really told me, yet again, was why the media is failing. He may not know it, but we do. This is right up there with Fox or CNN tactics:
"Is Obama the Antichrist?"If someone in the media has to even ask this or uses it as the blaring title of their piece... Fire them. They are pumping pure propaganda as every part of any investigated story on this would show the real truth:
"Insane McCain Tries to Paint Obama as the Antichrist!"That is a factual and supportable storyline. McCain and his surrogates played that ad to the lunatic fringe. The CNN fox like title was the one that ran. Fuckin' pitiful. They deserve to be scorned.
A disgrace to journalism.
The other day I wrote a quick note on the NY Times idiocy. Really, it was a question that readers everywhere deserve an honest answer to:
Journalists are so far out of the mainstream that we really want to know. A couple of comments that underscore the perception of readers out there. First a comment from BeachBum (another Vet that Blogs about his life in South Carolina) on it:
When will the NY Times arrive?Because Bloggers weren't around at previous conventions, weren't there in the trenches for countless elections, primaries and issues. No, Bloggers haven't been doing what we have been doing and coalescing into one of the largest activist and information sharing networks, shaping the narrative of the news cycles in an effort to counterbalance failures in the older and compromised traditional media long before any of the more recent credentialed things started to happen...The Year of the Political Blogger Has Arrived - NYTimes.com
Nope. According to the NY Times Bloggers have only arrived now. My question for the NY Times:
When do they plan on catching up to us?
Because we are still far ahead of the NY Times and other proven corporate and government media propaganda outlets in speaking truth to power, integrity and honesty in our coverage of the news. At least, the left side of the Blogosphere is.
I don't think they can catch up. Some of their mistakes lately seems to suggest they do worse than some of dedicated bloggers.I think he is right... They seem to willfully remain mired in their dead tree ways while most people have long since moved on to better reading. They have moved on to Blogs. Another comment from someone that has fully embraced the reality of the new and obviously better media:
I have a degree in Communications and I am amazed at how slow the MSM has been in catching onto the incredible power of the internet. I wonder sometimes if they are in denial.Part of the dead tree media problem is that they are so invested in the business model they created for ad revenue they have a hard time trying to keep up with those of us that have absolutely no budget beyond Google type ads and relatively no overhead beyond buying a digital camera or video cam and, if even, some bandwidth and domain name if we want to bother.
They are in denial.
They have a failed business model and refuse to give it up. Eventually smart advertisers will give up the dead tree media model as well. Most of them just haven't quite figured out they should. And the advertisers sure as hell don't want to support the Blogosphere (not the left side of it) because we have integrity and hold them accountable.
And the media tries to mock us as they fall further and further behind. Perhaps they are just acting out because they are ashamed of their own failings... More likely, they are hoping they won't lose that next fed up reader to the Blogs that are writing about the truth.
Then they make matters worse for themselves when they cut local content down to nil and wonder "why do more and more people turn to the internet?" And then you have the media take preposterous positions (like the Hartford Courant did) and ask Bloggers to provide them with free content after laying off many of their local staff.
Aside from Letters to the Editor, the Courant pays for every other word of editorial copy it prints. Shouldn't the paper at least pay a nominal fee to bloggers whose words they excerpt? The blogger who wants to remain pure can give permission to print without a fee, but the very idea that the Courant hasn't made the offer is exploitative.Is the Courant frigin' nuts?
They've been in the business for a long time, and they must surely understand that while the web is extraordinarily freewheeling when it comes to sharing and borrowing information, if you are a major media outlet, who makes money for your newspaper/website, then "borrowing" without pay is impolite, if not immoral.
They will be the first to push the "FREE MARKET RULES AND ALL HAIL DEREGULATION!" talking points for the GOP corporate interests, like all of the ones that led to the housing crash, but they want Bloggers to dig them out of the hole they made for free?
I don't begrudge the few Bloggers that took them up on it and wanting to get at least some sane views in their news papers. In fact, I believe the few that are in there from the reality based community are ones that were there before the layoffs happened. If they don't continue those pages will be left to only the right wing nuts that we have already had to suffer from for years.
If we had a thriving and healthy local media they would still be making money. They are the cause of their own downfall through failed business decisions and failed editorial decisions.
Any media manager that would hire the likes of Judy propaganda Miller, Billy "I'm not right about anything, but I still get my regular TV gig to screw over the national discourse" Kristol, Karl Rove, or pay the AP services for Ron Fournier's GOP talking points, or present a dunderhead like Fred Lucas as a non-partisan contributor without any real opposing views is begging for failure.
I would like nothing more than to see the media succeed.
But they need to provide real hard news and investigative reporting that is fact checked and reality based, and they have do this both locally and nationally in order to succeed. At this point in time, more then ever before, they need to stand up for the little guys.
They don't and the citizens that used to rely on them for the truth suffer. And even more of them head to our Blogs. But Bloggers suffer too. Because now we have to not only fact check the media and political failures but we have to create content for ourselves in their absence.
What did you think? That I was doing this for my own pleasure? Fuck that!
I used to enjoy reading the news paper to keep up on everything. They used to provide a valuable service to their customers. Now they are just a marketing tool for corporations and partisan politics. Very few exceptions to that rule.
Frankly, I would like nothing more than to have more time to Blog about and do things that actually interest me - like hockey, gardening or sex... Anything but politics - So I am begging the intellectually lazy and incompetent media to do their job, to fire the liars, to cut the stenography and to start fact check again, to start doing your job the way you are supposed to so I don't have to anymore.

Hello from ATL! We are excited that you are here with us. We have so much to share with you and can't wait to get into it. Before we really get going though, we want to take a minute to introduce ourselves. The ATL RSTRY team started as a small group of friends and family with a passion for great coffee. Like many of you, our experiences in coffee early on were far from great. We still remember all too clearly the early days of our coffee consumption…powering through some of our parents' old tin can coffee that is over-roasted, bitter and flavorless.
Unfortunately, most of the coffee commonly available for us still to this day is very similar. In fact, some of the most popular coffee consumed is intentionally over-roasted and stored until it becomes stale enough to put into a small airtight pod. Fans of fresh coffee know that when coffee is freshly roasted it is emitting gases that would make storage in one of these pods impossible.
We want to provide you with a better experience, and it is so easy! Think about it, there are few things you do more consistently and repeatedly as drinking your morning coffee. By taking a few extra minutes and a minimal amount of money, a completely new world can be unlocked that brightens up your mornings. We are here with the key!
As a preview of what is to come, we are going to publish some brew guides for both the Starter Kit and Pro Kit that are available on our website. We will also take some time to introduce you to the coffee flavor wheel to help you find your perfect cup. Few realize that coffee is the most chemically complex food we ingest. In fact, coffee contains 2 to 3 times as many flavor compounds as wine. The tasting notes of coffee reveal an incredible world of different experiences.
Our primary goal is to introduce you to better experiences that brighten your day and we will spend extra time in our future blog posts to get you there. So, check back regularly and stay in contact with us to learn more.
Also worth noting here as we get to know each other, our secondary goal is to leave the world a better place because of our presence. For those of you that know us well, you already know that we have a passion for helping others. Lisa, our do-it-all leader and Chief Kindness Officer, takes the lead on all things social impact. One of the many passions we both have is to improve the financial literacy of those in our city. We will take some time in future posts to talk about our "Bean Counter" initiative and will give you an opportunity to get involved. We are also passionate about the social impact of the coffee business. We have a trip scheduled in January to visit Central America to work directly with coffee farmers and to ensure that all of our products are sourced sustainably and responsibly. Many posts will cover that topic as well.
So, lots to come in the near future. Cheers to a Fresh Start with ATL RSTRY. As always, we love hearing directly from you and welcome your input on how we can improve your mornings and the world in which we live.
Let's get brewing!

T-MAPPP's final network event at Hannover Germany was a great success! We had a one-day T-MAPPP Workshop on 25th September 2017, followed by a T-MAPPP Symposium which took place within the 5th International Conference on Particle-Based Methods (PARTICLES 2017) on 26th-28th September 2017.
The T-MAPPP Workshop was fully subscribed with nearly 70 participants, including 30 participants external to the T-MAPPP Consortium. This allowed a vibrant and productive scientific discussion on topics of common interest, and excellent networking opportunities amongst the academic and industrial participants.
The Workshop started with excellent presentations from Dr Martin Murtagh of Corning giving an industrial perspective of particle modelling and Prof. Wolfgang Peukert of Friedrich-Alexander-University describing the microscopic particle to macroscopic bulk behaviour of particulate systems. An overview of the research and training in T-MAPPP was then presented by Profs Jin Ooi and Stefan Luding. This was followed by an interactive poster session over lunch, with extensive discussions taking place between the T-MAPPP Research Fellows and the participants. The afternoon was dedicated to facilitated discussions on four topics that were voted to be the most important to be addressed. These were:
1) Material characterisation and calibration of simulation parameters
2) Verification and validation of numerical simulations
3) Upscaling of experimental and numerical results to plant scale
4) Coupling of different numerical techniques.
There was a lively discussion about the progess that has been made and the challenges ahead for applications of particulate modelling.
The T-MAPPP Symposium was organised in conjunction with the PARTICLES 2017 Conference. In total 19 papers were presented. The sessions were well attended and provided an excellent opportunity for the authors to disseminate their research outcomes.
A number of T-MAPPP researchers attended the Powders & Grains 2017 conference in Montpellier earlier this month.… Read More
We are delighted to announce that we have appointed Xizhong Chen as the last T-MAPPP researcher to take on the ER3 project. Read More

Day 282: Sitting by the Marina
There has been astonishingly lovely weather this week. Our plein aire painting group met today near Barbara's Fishtrap restaurant next to the Marina at Pillar Point Harbor. I set up my easel looking south toward the restaurant. The sun was in my eyes at first but it shifted during the morning giving me a lovely hazy view of the hills behind. The photo shows the view I was painting and here is the watercolor. Ron's son remarked that this view reminded him of Ireland.

In Sloane's world suicide has become an epidemic. The answer to the soaring rates of depression and suicide among teenagers is- The Program. The Program is rejoiced as the solution to the loss of loved ones across the country. Sloane is no fool to the propaganda, no one that has ever returned from the program is the same. "Returners", program attendees that either showed signs of depression or attempted suicide return to society refreshed, perky, happy, and as a minor side effect can not remember past friends, boyfriends/girlfriends, and major life events.
Sloane will not let this become her future. She will hide the tears and answer the daily questions they way she knows they need to be answered in order to go undetected. She will be eighteen soon and out of the reach of The Program. Or so she hopes...
If you are a fan of dystopian fiction (Hunger Games, Uglies, etc.) The Program is an excellent choice to add to your reading list. You will be rooting for Solane from beginning to end and fearful of the society that she has come to live in. The Program was not a book that I could easily put down, I really enjoyed it. However, the premises of suicide may deter or be a rough area for some readers. Suicide is not something to take lightly, if you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts you should seek the comfort and advice of a trusted adult. The thought of a society that could help those who host such strong feelings that they consider harming themselves would be an asset to so many families. Young adds her own, entirely, made up, fiction twist to the idea (as in other dystopian novels) that makes you cringe at the thought of becoming an emotional vault and living in a society that would look to a program such as The Program, as the answer.
Stop by and let us know what you think!

Chapter 38
The silversmith's mouth fell open when he heard Hector's request. "One exactly like it?" he echoed.
"Yes, please," Hector confirmed. He had bargained for Royer's freedom with things that mattered to the French hunter who had caught him, and now he had placed his one remaining bracer on the table in the smith's shop. Both bracers had been dented and needed repairs before. Now he needed a whole new one. It wouldn't be cheap, but there was no reason to dwell on that. The board would not refund it because the silver bracers were his own property. While most hunters wore silver for protection, few owned as massive items as this.
"Are you heading out again soon, Mr Rothenberg?"
Hector smiled. "No, I expect to be home for at least a week," he replied. Royer would decide for himself, but Hector was not going anywhere until the wolf man had left Frankfurt or was properly settled in.
"I will have a new one ready for you in six days," the smith told him.
"Thank you," said Hector. He left his remaining bracer with the smith and began to make his way back to headquarters.
What were Peter and Royer doing? They had been alone for more than an hour now. Hector inwardly sighed at himself. They were talking, that's what. And Peter was taking notes and asking questions, and Royer was doing his best to satisfy the doctor's curiosity. There was nothing to be worried about. The two wolves weren't going to get into a fight while he was gone. In fact, he reminded himself, they were some of the most civilised and polite people he knew. But he was curious. What did Royer make of Peter? Could he smell that he was a werewolf? And if he could, would that attract him to the doctor or repulse him? Peter was undoubtedly going to learn a lot about Royer, but would he also learn something that could help his research, or would he be disappointed again?
Hector shook his head. It was no use speculating. It was Peter's job to evaluate what Royer could do for them, and none of Hector's business whether Royer liked Peter. Still, when he got back to the hospital wing after a few more errands, it was a relief to see the two of them talking like old acquaintances and agree to meet again the next morning to continue. That meant Peter really could see possibilities in working with Royer.
On the evening of Royer's first full day in Frankfurt, Hector decided against dining in public once more. He had to present Royer to he board the following afternoon, and he'd rather have their approval before risking overwhelming Royer with questions or opinionated comments from hunters who had just returned from missions and had no idea what was going on. So he brought food and drinks to his room again and served Royer a covert meal.
"You're welcome to some," he said when he found Royer looking at his beer.
Royer smiled and reached out for the mug. "I haven't tasted beer before."
Hector grinned. "About time, then."
Royer carefully sipped the beer, made a face and pushed the mug away again. "Thank you," he said.
"You don't like it," Hector concluded. Apart from Peter, who never seemed to drink alcohol at all, he hardly knew anyone who didn't enjoy beer. He and Tomas had spent many nights laughing and drinking and … Hector quickly took the mug and gulped down a few mouthfuls. It hardly mattered.
"But you do," Royer noted. There was something in his voice that Hector couldn't quite put his finger on.
"Yes, I do," he replied and stood up. "There is something I want to give you." He opened a big, wooden box on a shelf. Inside was what was left of his childhood. A couple of books that he had enjoyed as a boy, a knife his father had given to him, a few pieces of jewellery. He fished out a chain with a pendant shaped as a stylised leaf and returned to Royer.
The wolf man was studying him as he sat down again and held out his hand.
"This is solid silver," Hector explained. He had always known he wouldn't wear it himself, and sometimes he'd thought of donating it to the foundry. But he'd always put it off for sentimental reasons and decided that he should keep it in case he had a use for it someday. Now he did.
Royer took the necklace and studied it. "It's beautiful," he said. "But why are you giving it to me?"
"Because it will show people that you are not a werewolf. Not everybody will understand it right away, but this will help." Some hunters would find it hard to accept that Royer was a man who turned into a wolf and wasn't a threat. A silver necklace could save him some trouble.
"Thank you," said Royer.
"I'm not forcing you to …" began Hector. "I mean, if you don't want to wear it…"
Royer put the chain over his head. "I'll wear it. Thank you. It's very kind of you."
Hector smiled, then took another mouthful of beer. "Don't mention it," he mumbled.
The next day was a busy one. Royer met with Peter while Hector prepared for the meeting with the board. When the time came, Hector looked over Royer in, he realised, much the same way that Stephan would study him before an important meeting when he was a boy. They both needed to look well. Dressed in plain, clean clothes with no stains. But they didn't need to be formal. In fact, it was fine if they didn't appear to have paid too much attention to their looks as long as they seemed well-dressed and well-groomed. Now he knew what Stephan had been scrutinising him for all these years ago.
Hector reassured Royer that the meeting was only a formality. That he had authority in this matter and only needed to inform the board. All the members were not even likely to be there. Royer asked him what exactly their job was, and he explained that while one of them was a retired hunter, the remaining thirteen board members were traders, accountants, scholars, city council members and lawmen. They were affiliated with the hunters because they or the people they represented were wealthy and sponsored some of the organisation's work. Technically, they could not overrule the hunters' decisions. Practically, they could withdraw their funding. But if that happened, the hunters wouldn't have the necessary means to carry out their work and employ doctors and foundry workers, and no one would benefit from that situation. So it was always a matter of discussing things and reaching the conclusions that would be best for everyone. It could be political, tedious work, but sometimes it was necessary. Just like now. It was important that he had the board's blessing for having brought Royer back to Frankfurt, but there wasn't really anything they could do about it whether they liked it or not.
A surprisingly large number of board members did show up for the meeting. Hector had expected that no more than five or six would be there with such a short notice, but there were nine of them sitting at the long table. Jacques Cloutier, the spokesman, was perched on his chair in the middle with a pen and papers in front of him. He glanced up as they entered.
"As you know," Hector began after the initial greetings, "my last trip brought me south to Niedermark where I encountered Royer." He made a gesture to indicate Royer as if it wasn't obvious that he was the wolf man.
The young man was standing next to Hector, a little rigid, but he was more alert than scared. It was no wonder he was a bit tense. Nine strangers were staring at him.
"I trust you are familiar with my report."
Several of them nodded.
"Then you know I spent full moon in Royer's company. He was a wolf during this time, but he did not behave like an animal or a werewolf. He had the mind of a human and did not attempt to attack me or run away." That was not entirely true, but no one needed to know about the complications in Eberfeld. "I brought the initial evaluation from our chief physician with me ..."
"The other werewolf," mumbled the accountant, Gerhardt, who was sitting next to Jacques Cloutier.
Hector resisted the urge to slam the papers from Peter onto the table and instead gently pushed them there. "As you will find when you read his evaluation," he resumed, "doctor Hessen does not believe that Royer is a werewolf. He was not bitten, but has always been able to transform at will. He does not suffer from any of the complications that werewolves do, and he is not, as you can see, allergic to silver."
There was a murmur around the table. They were all looking at the necklace. Hector was glad he had given it to Royer before the meeting and not after.
"So what is he, and what do you intend to … have him do?" asked Inga, one of the most recent additions to the board. At least she was straightforward.
"We have not encountered anyone like him before. Which is why he is crucial to our research," Hector hit home the point. "Royer is currently in my care, and I am sure we can use an extra set of hands here. I can think of a few ways that he could be of great benefit to us. But of course it will be up to him to decide."
"So what are your plans, then?" asked Wilhelm Rothenberg, smiling. He had inherited his mother's grace when it came to dealing with others professionally and spoke directly to Royer as the first.
"I agreed to come to Frankfurt with Hector to assist the doctors," replied Royer. "I am very grateful for your hospitality." His eyes darted to Hector, then back to the strangers at the table. "I have nowhere to return to, but I am still not sure what to do. If … if I am welcome here and decide to stay in Frankfurt, I hope that I can be of help."
"If Hector says you can, I'm sure he's right," returned Wilhelm.
The hunter studied the board members as they continued to ask Royer questions about his origin and abilities. None of them were proving to be very difficult. Apart from a couple of snide remarks from Gerhardt about Hector having a tendency to keep them on their toes, it went quietly, and at the end of the interview, Royer shook hands with all of them.
Hector drew a quiet sigh of relief when they left the meeting room. Now he had their official stamp of approval. The next step was bringing Royer to the dining hall and introducing him to other hunters. Most of them wouldn't pose much of a problem, especially not now that Peter and the board were involved. Some would insist on getting to know Royer because he was different. And Hector had no doubt that a few would demand an explanation or challenge Hector's actions, but he would just have to deal with them and convince them that Royer wasn't a threat. Even if they didn't trust the wolf man, they did trust Hector.
"You told them that you had ideas," Royer interrupted his thoughts, "for what I can do here. Can I ask what you have in mind?"
Hector smiled. "Well, we can always use people to help out. You could be employed in the stables or the kitchen or even the foundry. Perhaps even train with the doctors."
"You have mentioned those things before," Royer said. "But you sounded like you were talking about something else, too. Something specific."
"I did?" Hector cleared his throat. Had it been that obvious? "There are other jobs here, too. But let's wait and see. It's cooler outside now. I'm going to take a run. Do you want to come along? Once we're out of sight, you can be a wolf if you want to."
Royer grinned. "Sure," he said. "But then you won't be able to keep up."

Victoriaans antieke snorrentas porselein Coalport Engeland 1906
Coalport, Shropshire, England was a centre of porcelain and pottery production between about 1795 ("inaccurately" claimed as 1750 by the company)[1] and 1926, with the Coalport porcelain brand continuing to be used up to the present. The opening in 1792 of the Coalport Canal, which joins the River Severn at Coalport, had increased the attractiveness of the site, and from 1800 until a merger in 1814 there were two factories operating, one on each side of the canal, making rather similar wares which are now often difficult to tell apart.[2]
Both factories made mostly tablewares that had elaborate overglaze decoration, mostly with floral subjects. A further round of mergers in 1819 brought moulds and skilled staff from Nantgarw porcelain and Swansea porcelain to Coalbrook, which continued to thrive through the rest of the century. The Coalport factory was founded by John Rose in 1795; he continued to run it successfully until his death in 1841. The company often sold its wares as Coalbrookdale porcelain, especially the pieces with flowers modelled in three dimensions, and they may be called Coalport China.

This review is about Kudos Restaurant as Sinergie isn't open during the week. The one thing lacking in this restaurant the evening we dined was the atmosphere, but to be fair it was quite early and there were only a handful of people dining. It's a big restaurant, separated into two distinct areas by double doors and it would take a lot of customers to fill it. We were served by a charming and very friendly waitress who was very knowledgable about the dishes on the menu. Decided on having a dessert instead of a starter, and had Chilli Prawns for mains (mouthwateringly good) and Crunchie Mousse for dessert. The latter was totally sinful but deliciously light. A bottle of wine and two coffees rounded off our meal. The meals here are very affordable, and considering this is a restaurant within an hotel, it's good to see that customers aren't ripped off simply because they are staying on the premises to dine. We've no idea what prices are like in Sinergie, but perhaps there are MenuPages diners out there who have tried it and will let us know.

Decided to dine in-house whilst staying at the Clarion in Sligo. They have two restaurants – Sinergie and Kudos. The full restaurant (Sinergie) is only open at the weekend, so you may be disappointed if you are staying in the Clarion during the week and expect to dine in their main restaurant. We did get a look inside Sinergie as this is where they serve breakfast. Kudos was pretty good, the menu is not extensive but quite appetising. There wasn't much atmosphere as it's a big enough floor area and there weren't many diners. Nonetheless, staff were very friendly, service was prompt and meals delicious and very reasonably priced. Overall it was an enjoyable dining experience and I would recommend it.

Connecting a VoIP System to the PSTN
The PSTN still (believe it or not) has its place in today's telecommunications world.
With communications being the "beating heart" of your business, you certainly cannot afford to be without the ability to send and receive valuable phone calls. It is possible, with VoIP, that your network crashes or Internet connectivity can be lost. Meaning, of course, the your ability to send or receive calls, emergency included, is stripped.
That's the problem and I herein present you with the solution: an FXO VoIP Gateway!
In one of my previous posts, I had skimmed the term FXO. FXO (Foreign Exchange Office), designates a telephone signaling interface that receives POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). FXO generates the off-hook and on-hook indications. Basically… an FXO device is one in which appears to be a "regular telephone". An FXO device would be able to accept ringing signals, go on-hook/off-hook, and send/receive voice frequency signals.
So what do I actually use this gateway for and why?
Well, there are more than a few applications for an FXO gateway but I will just name the most common (I'm sure you'll be able to get a bit creative with these devices).
- Failover– What if my SIP provider is experiencing problems, what if my network crashes? These are a few common questions that I hear time and time again. Luckily, an FXO creates the perfect solution/failsafe. An FXO gateway can be implemented to provide access to multiple POTS lines (the gateways normally come in 2,4, and 8-port flavors).
- Bringing In local analog POTS/PSTN lines from remote locations to be utilized by IP PBX at the central location – Example; say your main site is in NY and you have remote locations in CA and TX. In using an FXO gateway, you can utilize local landlines from remote locations ( CA and TX) to be utilized by the main site's IP PBX. Phone calls from NY pass through the internet (VoIP) to the remote locations to make locals calls that corresponds to each location. Local telephony companies for these locations will "think" the calls are local as the calls are rolling out from the FXO gateways at each location and nothing will appear to be of long distance. Now how cool is that?!?
Analog VoIP Gateways enable flexible deployments and interoperability for evolving next generation networks. Supported protocols for Analog gateways include SIP and certain gateways even provide support for lesser used protocols such as H.323. and MGCP.

Making Better Sugar Choices
Categories: Health, Weight Loss, Corporate Wellness
You're definitely not alone when it comes to sugar addiction - that's because as humans, we were born to crave the sweet sensation! Our sweet tooth started before we were even born. Sweet amniotic fluid surrounded us as we grew inside of our mother's stomach. Then as infants, we grew up on the sugary taste of breast milk and/or formula. In reality, there should be no surprise that we like our sweets1!
Now this begs to question… are we set up to fail? I mean put the fluid and breast milk aside and we still have our candy, bread, pasta, rice and potatoes surrounding us everywhere we go. Not to mention the plethora of sweet beverages like juices, sports drinks, vitamin waters and last but not least, the king of all sugar-sweetened drinks, soda! All of these foods and beverages are not only super high in sugar, but they are also super addictive! Coincidence? I think not!
Ingesting high amounts of sugar has been shown to lead to insulin resistance, or poor sugar regulation within the body! This insulin resistance makes us groggy because the foods we are ingesting aren't being turned into usable energy; but instead, it gets turned into bad cholesterol (LDL) and fat, all while putting extra stress on the liver. Insulin resistance is the single-most leading factor in causing heart disease, stroke, dementia, cancer and/or a rapid rate in premature aging and weight gain2,3,4,5,6,7. Ingesting an overabundance of sugar can actually decrease the functioning of your immune system, increase your risk of cardiovascular disease and increase your chances of getting a degenerative disease as well!
Sugar has 144 different names –yes, 144! I couldn't even tell you all of the names, and I bet you wouldn't want to read them all anyway! The point is, if you start eating foods without a label, such as whole food sources, you aren't going to have to worry about it. If you're someone who needs to eat foods that has labels on them, look in the ingredients for words that end in "ose." Other common undercover names for sugar include, but are not limited to, mannitol, sorghum syrup, fruit juice concentrate, high fructose corn syrup, barley malt and sorbitol.
Ingredients are listed by the amount in the food source. So if sugar if listed in any of the top three ingredients, PUT IT DOWN! Stop adding sugar to drinks, food products and recipes, but instead make the better choice - start using pure stevia or xylitol. Better yet, eliminate the sweetness all together by using cinnamon or nutmeg.
If you're hooked on soft drinks, replace them with sparkling water and lemon slices. Craving caffeine? Have some black/green tea or black coffee instead! Making the better choice works, but constantly stressing over a "diet" doesn't!
Carbohydrates use the least amount of steps in order to process them into energy. This means that your body loves to consume carbs due to the fact that you are following the "path of least resistance." If you're constantly consuming refined carbohydrates and sugar, your body will naturally rely on sugar for energy.
This is a mistake I made for a very long time, until I understood this self-sabotage and made the switch to foods that contain high amounts of dietary fiber (vegetables), healthy fats (dark chocolate, coconut butter & grass-fed butter) and small amounts of protein (grass-fed meats & wild-caught fish)! This has shifted my metabolism, because now I use fat for energy (including my own body fat), resulting in less hunger, more energy and not having to rely on sugar to plow through my day!
Try this out because if you don't, in a week, a month, or a year, you will wish you had!

Will Nissan's Next GT-R Be the "Fastest Super Sports Car in the World"?
Will Nissan's Next GT-R Be the "Fastest Super Sports Car in the World"?
Nissan's GT-R may be in the early phase of development but this next-gen vehicle is already creating a lot of ripples in the auto industry. With this car, the Japanese company is expected to change the super sports car segment forever and for good. A lot of speculations are made about the debut of the R36 as a Godzilla replacement in this hypercompetitive market. Much has been revealed by the Design Chief, Albert Albaisa. Some highlights are given here to prove if it will be the fastest super sports car in the world.
The Electrification Factor
The original GT-R was well-fitted with a robust engine and high-end technology. Over the years, it was given many potential facelifts and upgrades. This time, Nissan is contemplating a complete makeover for the platform and powertrain of this latest model. While auto experts are making their guesses, the company hasn't yet finalized these factors for the development of new GT-R.
The Visual Cues
As per the Design Chief of Nissan, it can be safely concluded that the new avatar of the GT-R won't be inspired by the special edition ItalDesign GT-R50. Meanwhile, the design teams are reviewing the initial drawings until they get a final decision about the car's powertrain and platform. Whether it prefers complete electrification or none in any way, this vehicle will garner a lot of power.
The Platform to Be Used
The automaker hasn't really revealed much about the platform that it intends to use for the development of the new GT-R. Apparently, it will not be produced on the current platform used for this model. Rather, Nissan is working on a new architecture to design a platform that suits a powerful automobile that can earn the title of the fastest super sports car in the world.
What about the Powertrain?
In its current version, the GT-R gathers a lot of power from its robust engine. It comes with a turbo V6 3.8L engine and can reach a speed of 0-100 in just 2.7 seconds. The company is definitely eyeing a better figure with the new launch. It will be an increased level of power and performance. However, weight can be a deterrent in this selection. With hybridization, its power will be boosted but weight issues will continue to linger. However, the company is still working on several ideas to find the best solution that it can.
Some experts believe that the powertrain of this fast sports car could be taken from the hybrid GT-R LMP1 that was designed for the World Endurance Championship but was never launched. If the company goes with the same powertrain or betters it, you can expect a sports car that can emanate more than 700 BHP of power. It will have higher torque and overall output to be the best in class.
With speculations still rife about this car, it is anticipated to be launched by early 2020. And, if it delivers to the promises being made, it is all set to be the fastest sports car in the world.

How to Install a Bio Filter for Your Pond
A concentration of microorganisms, as well as ammonia and nitrates, can destroy fish if a bio filter is not included in your pond's installation. Installing a biological filter is relatively simple. By following the directions below, you will have healthy fish and a glistening pond that is free from the contaminants that can harm them.
Materials Needed:
- Submersible filter
- Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
- Pump
- Exhaust hose
- Pipe wrench
- Hose clamp
- Plastic tubing
- Screwdriver
- Hacksaw
- Cinder blocks
Step 1 – Find a Location for your Bio Filter
Find a good location in the pond to set the filter. Try to find a clear area that is unobstructed by mud, algae or other barricades.
Step 2 – Determine the Size of the Filtration System You'll Need
Determine the size of your pond and install a bio filtration system that will be compatible to its overall area. Whichever system is required, it should be adequate enough to filter half the water in your pond.
A submersible filter should be used if the pond is small in size. Alternatively, an external pump and filter should be used if the pond is of the larger variety.
Step 3 – Disconnect the Main Power Source
Before carrying out any work, make sure the electricity is shut off. Do not handle the pump with wet hands. Make sure all power precautions are taken before commencing work.
Step 4 – Place Cinder Blocks in Chosen Location
Never allow the pump to be set on the bottom of the pond. Set cinder blocks on the pond floor to support the pump prior to installation.
Step 5 – Set the Submersible Filter
As previously mentioned, find a location free of mud and plants. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines with regards to the bio filter chosen and set the filter on the cinder blocks.
Step 6 – Locate and Set the Above-Ground Filter
If it has been determined that the pond is too large for a submersible filter, it must decided where to set your filter above ground, as this is a preferred pump for a larger area of water. Make sure the area that the filter is placed in is planed, flat and easily accessible.
Step 7 - Attach Plastic Tubing to the Pump's Outflow
Consult the manufacturer's guidelines and affix plastic tubing to the pump outflow.
Step 8 – Secure the Exhaust Hose
Using a hose clamp, secure the exhaust hose tightly.
Step 9 – Submerge Hose
Hook up the exhaust hose so it remains submerged at the bottom of the pond.
Step 10 – Make Sure You Have the Proper Connection
Make sure the outlet you use is a GFCI, or ground fault circuit interrupter. This kind of outlet acts as a safety valve as it has a circuit breaker that will trip if any kind of leak is uncovered.
Step 11 – Turn on the Power
Turn on the electricity.
Step 12 – Switch on the Pump
Switch on the pump's power supply.
There's a host of bio filters to choose from. Once you have made your selection, installation takes little effort and maintenance of your pond will also be easier!
