Our Major Policies in Markham
Ontario Environmental Alliance Party wants to build a safer and better future for the young people of Ontario.
That's why we want to put in place a large number of policies that will help improve our community.
Renew Our Economy and Preserve Jobs
Ontario Environmental Alliance Party has put in place policies that will help get the economy back on track and fund government programs. Our policies :
- Guaranteed 40 hours of work each week with benefits for life for people who work for big companies, who will only be allowed to have 5% of their work force part time.
- Cancel all scheduled tax increases on tobacco & alcohol for the next 10 years, reduce current taxes on tobacco & alcohol by 25%
- Fight so called "FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS" to cancel them if they are not made fair trade agreements. This will help to bring back manufacturing and jobs and prevent them from leaving our country.
- Disband the Ontario Municipal Board ( O.M.B) as its just a rubber stamp for so called development and replace it with a new Environmental Protection Agency. (E.P.A) With real people to protect the environment and the economy
- Protect all farmland. No farmland can be sold to a so called developer unless approved by the (E.P.A) with strict new rules
- End all immigration except for Families reunification for a further 5 – 10 years. This alone will reduce our Greenhouse gas emissions 50%, more than meeting our targets for the next 40 years. This alone will save us $10 billion annually, and pay for the above programs.
- No more negotiations in manufacturing that will put people out of work unless approved by the (E.P.A) which will also have responsibilities for people's economic environment.
Immigration may be important to economy, but it is also a legitimate concern for most
Protecting Our People
Ontario Environmental Alliance Party has also come up with a list of policies to protect our people:
- 1,000,000 for every Ontarian 18 years and older after 20 years, by creating a National Heritage Fund in conjunction with our Federal Party of one trillion dollars. This will take 20 years to complete
- Senior citizens will be covered 100% for all medical care recommended by a Doctor, Hospital & Drug prescriptions, no fees.
- Nationalize Hydro One 100%, freeze Hydro rates for the next 10 years & cut current rates a further 25%.
- No restrictions on Family Farm members on selling or transferring ownership of farm land within families.
- To help make housing much more affordable, a minimum of a 35% - 50% foreign buyers tax, possibility of 100% if needed.
We are pushing for genuinely affordable homes

All body strength comes from the same area – your abdominal muscles (abs) and core. Working on your core is essential as you increase your overall power in body weight exercises.
Each week, we'll guide you through a series of exercises that target a particular area of the body. This week's exercises target your core.
You don't need a gym membership or fancy equipment to do these exercises. However, it's a good idea to invest in a skipping rope (usually around HK$150) and two resistance bands – one for warming up and one to aid you with certain strength exercises (also about HK$150 each). These are great for starting or finishing your workout.
You can practise these exercises at home or in a park. Kowloon Tsai Park, Victoria Park, Ma On Shan Park, and Tin Sau Road Park in Yuen Long all have spaces for working out.
Make sure that you're in good physical health before you attempt any of these moves. If you're unsure, consult a doctor, trainer or other specialist.
Always take five to 10 minutes at the start of your workout to warm up. You should get the blood flowing to all of your muscles so you don't suffer any injury later. A quick run or some skipping will do the trick. Begin slowly and never strain yourself.
Reps and sets
Personal trainer Calvin Au Yeung suggests that beginners aim for three sets of six to eight repetitions. More advanced athletes should aim for 10 to 12 repetitions and four to six sets. Apart from doing reps and sets, you can vary your workout by using time under tension – holding part of the exercise for a few seconds at the top or bottom.
Core/abs exercises
Having a strong core doesn't mean you have a six-pack; the core is the whole trunk of your body, including stabilisers in your spine and all around.
If you are an athlete, try to do more dynamic core exercises. When you are playing your sport, you are usually moving in certain ways, so make your training mimic your sport.
For example, many people turn to sit-ups to engage their core, but a simple barbell squat works the same muscles, and is closer to the movements in many sports than a sit-up.
However, if you just want to improve your core for daily living – and as we're focusing on body weight exercises – try "pike and saw" movements, hanging knee or leg raises, and V sit-ups. Try three or four sets with 20 reps per set and 45-90 seconds rest in between. You can mix and match any exercises you like – but make sure you choose exercises that target upper, lower and side abs. As a beginner, aim for 60 to 80 repetitions in total, going up to 200 or more for advanced.
Pike and saw – find a bench in the park or use your bed for an elevated platform. Hold yourself in a plank position with your feet back from the edge of the bench. Push your arms straight and drag your feet forward to raise your body into an inverted V shape. This is very tough!
Hanging knee raises/leg raises – suspend yourself from a bar, straighten your body and then raise your knees towards your chest. This targets your upper abs. If you are more advanced, straighten your legs and lift them up and outwards in an L shape to fully engage your entire core. If you don't have a bar, you can do this on the ground.
V sit-ups – lie facing up, with your arms over your head, touching the ground. Keep your arms straight, and raise your legs and upper body in a V shape until your hands and feet meet.
Flutterkicks – lie facing up, raise your legs about 20cm off the ground, then move your legs up and down continuously.
Raised leg circles – lying on the ground, raise your legs and then move them in slow, small circles. As you become more confident, make bigger circles.
Oblique ankle touches – this strengthens your oblique muscles – the ones down the sides of your torso which help with your posture. Lie on your back with feet flat on the floor and knees bent. Start a sit-up and hold the position, then reach your right hand to your right ankle. Return to the starting position, then repeat on the left.


text: Project Spotlight: USTA, Armstrong Stadium The USTA National tennis Center, Inc. contracted HEA to provide commissioning services as per USGBC NC LEED Energy and Atmosphere Prerequisite 1: Fundamental Commissioning of the Building Energy Systems and Energy and Atmosphere Credit 3: Enhanced Commissioning for the USTA Louis Armstrong Stadium project in Flushing, NY. Services included reviewing of design documents, shop drawings, commissioning of all mechanical, control systems and balancing verification as well as developing a building systems manual. Throughout the duration of the project, HEA held regular commissioning meetings with the design team, owner, MEP trade firm and controls contractor in order to promote timely responses to major items of concerns. Finally, in accordance to Energy and Atmosphere Credit 3: Enhanced Commissioning, a systems manual was provided to the owner to assist in continual preventative maintenance and peak energy efficiency of the building. Client: USTA National Tennis Center, Inc. Location: Flushing, NY Q/A with Frank Laino – Project Engineer When first contracted for this project, what did the client express as the main goal / most pressing need for our services to accomplish? Two things were evident right from the beginning on this project. The first was the coordination it would take to complete Armstrong Stadium's Secondary Glycol Chilled Water system with the existing Chiller plant on site that has been serving Arthur Ashe Stadium. The second was the importance to ownership of achieving LEED certification, which commissioning lent a hand in. What was the biggest challenge faced during the project and how was HEA able to navigate through any problems faced due to this challenge? The biggest challenge was completing the necessary testing in time for the U.S. Open. The startup of the glycol chilled water system was a focused application to assure cooling was adequate for when the event was underway. Anything about this project that makes it stand out to you as different from any other projects you've previously worked on? The natural ventilation design of the stadium bowl was an interesting system to work with. This took a collaborative effort to plan the air balancing, verification, and functional testing of the system before the 2018 US Open as this is the only source of cooling for the patrons of the event. Mechanical cooling is only used in the hospitality, amenities, and retail spaces. What do you think the success of this project shows about the qualities of HEA? Overall this project required HEA to cohesively work with the construction team to plan and deliver tests and reports in a timely manner, showing our ability to collaborate. Additionally, our accountability was displayed where we went beyond the scope and aided in the startup and adjustment of systems before and during the US Open. As it closes, we feel that the impact this project has made in NYC is immense and that are proud to be a part of it.

This post is dedicated with love and sadness to TpT Teacher-Author and mother Teresa Williams who passed away recently.
"All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother." – Abraham Lincoln
Beautiful words indeed. But may I suggest the following as a more true-to-life representation: "All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother… or father, or stepmother, or aunt, or grandmother, or foster parent." You get the idea. I believe that for a child, it's all about who's loving her, who's supporting her, and who's helping her feel safe.
TpT Teacher-Authors understand that a holiday like Mother's Day can be tough for some students. That's why so many TpT Mother's Day resources can be easily modified for any special someone. You'll find plenty of ideas below. Plus, you'll also read some heartwarming stories about kind gestures parents have done for TpT'ers and the wonderful ways they make teachers' lives easier.
We asked… "What are some of the ways parents help out in your classroom?"
TpT'ers answered…
The Teacher Gene
"Working with young children, I welcome any type of help! Some parents who can't assist in the classroom have graciously volunteered to make resources in their own home. One of the most important ways parents can help, however, is by reading to their children, making learning a natural part of their day, and supporting the school and me (the teacher) in their conversations with their children. The respect and support goes both ways — parents have the most important job in the world! I love to gift my parents with this special keepsake below."
Try her: Mother's Day Handprint Poem FREE (grades PreK-1)
A version without the 'Happy Mother's Day' wording has also been included so students can create the project for another special person.
Teaching With a Mountain View
"I love when parents come in during literacy lessons and help with fluency! I have it set up so that they work with the same students each week. It makes such a difference for the students to have that one-on-one time. The parents really enjoy seeing the progress and getting to know other kids in the class!"
Try her: FREE Mother's Day Activity for the Upper Grades {A Few of My Favorite Things} (grades 2-8)
Primary Playground
"I teach 1st grade in a district filled with many eager parent volunteers. I especially like scheduling their help during writing time. I use a writing workshop approach, so students are constantly in various stages of writing (generating ideas, drafting, revising.) My volunteers wander around the room and help out the little ones who are so eager to share their writing with somebody. They also look for kids who seem to be stuck and help them brainstorm ideas for the next steps in their writing. This support frees me up to devote more attention to the student with whom I'm working. Parents also graciously help with tasks such as copying and collating. They've even assisted in cutting out TpT game pieces or laminated items!"
We asked… "What's the nicest thing a student's parent has ever done for you?"
TpT'ers answered…
The Tutu Teacher
"As you can see by my store name, I love tutus. I make them myself, and I wear them for special occasions like holidays or school-wide celebrations. At the end of the school year last year, a parent requested to come in a few times a week to work with a small group of kids on a 'project.' Each day she'd pull four to five students. I assumed they were creating a sweet card or poster. On the last day of school, I held a 'graduation' party in my room. We watched a slide show of our year in kindergarten, read stories, and took pictures in a mock photo booth. As the parents got ready to leave, I was asked to come to the front of the room and was presented with a gift bag. When I looked inside, all I could see was purple fluff…as I pulled it out, I realized it was a tutu! All around the tutu were pictures that each student had drawn for me. It continues to be one of my most prized possessions."
Mrs Poultney's Creations
"When my husband was deployed to Afghanistan a couple of years ago, I was teaching in a small rural school and only a few parents knew he was away. Those parents would sometimes bring me cookies or even a hot meal for my kids and me when they saw I was tired. It was enough to put a smile on my face and keep me going."
Try her: Mothers Day Craftivity packet (grades PreK-4)
Versions of the activities are included for students who are cared for by someone other than Mom.
Lori Flaglor
"The nicest thing a parent's ever done for me was throw me a surprise baby shower before I left on maternity leave. I was called down to the principal's office and someone filled in for me while they decorated the classroom and set up all the food. The kids in the class were thrilled to be a part of this happy time in my life. I received many gifts for the baby, but the most special one was a class photo with every child holding up a letter to spell 'Welcome Baby.' My daughter is now almost 14 and I still have that framed picture."
Silly Sam Productions
"A mother of one of my students used to bring me coffee and a muffin every morning. She genuinely just appreciated what we (teachers) do every day. We still keep in touch, and her son is married now."
Try her: Mom, You are my RAINBOW! Mother's Day Card & Book Poem Activity (grades K-5)
It includes options for mama, mom, mother, grandmother, aunt, and even a blank template so students can fill it in as they choose.
Carol Martinez
"The nicest thing a parent has done for me was give me a very thoughtful end-of-the-year gift. She knew I collected Depression era glass, and she bought me a beautiful dish to add to my collection. To go out of her way to find such a unique treasure was beyond touching to me."
Try her:
Mother's Day Treat Box {FREEBIE} (grades PreK-6)
Mother's Day & Father's Day Combo Pack (grades K-4)
There are "fill in" templates to accommodate all types of family situations.
A House Called Home
"I teach middle school science in Texas. On Labor Day 2011, a wildfire passed through our little town, and my family lost our home. We had only been in school three weeks. I had 150 students and when I returned to my classroom a month later, I could hardly remember all their names. But they had remembered me. I can't possibly describe the outpouring of love and help that came my way. The parents of my students rallied together to support our little family and in the process created some amazing friendships. That tough year was one of my all time favorites in the classroom."
Crayonbox Learning
"A heartfelt thank you and a hug has meant more to me than anything."
Try her: Mother's Day Teapot Card Pattern (grades PreK-5)
The sweet message is appropriate not only for Mom but for other great grownups as well!
The Peanut Gallery
"The nicest thing a parent has ever done for me was give me a personal, handwritten letter at the end of the school year expressing the difference I had made in her child's life. I have received a few of these sweet cards and letters over the years and I keep them safe to read on those days when I really need them."
Try her: (FREE) A Mother's Day Poem: Find the Idioms (grades 2-6)
Messages to My Mom: A Keepsake Mother's Day Booklet (grades 1-5)
The pages are designed so that students can make the booklet for their mother or other treasured loved ones such as grandmother, aunt, or godmother.
"There are many gestures to be thankful for, so I'm just going to go with the most recent… a parent of a student gave every teacher a single white rose during dismissal. No reason, no explanation. Just a beautiful rose from the kindness of her heart."
We asked… "A family can come in many shapes and sizes. How do you handle a holiday like Mother's Day in which some students may not have a mom in their life?"
TpT'ers answered…
Curriculum Castle
"Since not all children have a biological mother in their life, we encourage students to think about all the important female role models they know (aunts, grandmothers, teachers) when we discuss this special holiday. If they choose to, students can also make a Mother's Day and Father's Day Wheel Craft! (grades PreK-5) that can be given to a special person. We always make sure to have other fun options available for children to complete if they don't feel like making a craft for Mother's Day."
"I've always told my students that Mother's Day is a time to thank someone you appreciate. It can be a mother, grandmother, aunt, friend, teacher… even a dad or male role model. My classes have always known that my father passed away when I was young, so I never shied away from telling them that family doesn't always look like a mom, dad, brother, and sister. And that's okay. Family is who loves you, and I have always let my students choose who they want to honor for Mother's Day, Father's Day, or any day like that. My blog post talks about cute, quick, and easy flower pens that my students can make if they like."
Debbie Bryant
"We use Mother's Day as an opportunity to celebrate women in general. We look at women's roles in our lives, in the workplace, in our history, and in different cultures."
Try her: Multicultural Matryoshka Doll Craft (grades 2-4)
Primarily Au-Some
"We typically plant flowers in small pots for students to take home to their special someone. We do it right after our plant unit. We also create a sweet book that is open-ended and can be adapted for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparents' Day, and other holidays that commemorate loved ones. My kiddos LOVED it last year."
Try her: I "Mustache" You A Question? Mother/Father's Day Make & Take Book (grades PreK-4)
Miss DeCarbo
"I'd love to share a special teaching moment: A few years ago, a little girl in my classroom had recently lost her mother. For Mother's Day, we'd written letters to our moms, aunts, grandmas — I told my students they could choose anyone special in their lives. This little girl really, really wanted to write the letter to her mom. I was determined to make this experience happy and memorable for her. So the next day, I brought in a balloon and some special ribbon. We put her letter into the balloon, blew up the balloon, and "sent" it to her mother in Heaven. The little girl was filled with joy that day. She taught me some big life lessons that week, and she is a student I will forever carry with me in my heart."
Here's to all those terrific mommies, daddies, aunties, grammies, and teachers! who take such special care of little ones. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And to so many TpT'ers who are moms as well, a very happy (early) Mother's Day to you!

SRINAGAR: At least two people were killed in grenade attacks in occupied Kashmir on Tuesday and two fighters were shot dead by Indian forces, officials said, in one of the region's most violent days since New Delhi imposed a security clampdown there.
The Indian government shut down internet and phone lines and flooded the disputed region with security personnel to back its Aug 5 move to strip occupied Kashmir of its autonomous status and impose tighter central control.
Amid heightened tensions, suspected Kashmiri fighters carried out two grenade attacks on Tuesday, a top police official said.
One was thrown at a group of village councillors and government officials waiting outside an administration building in the village of Hakura, south of Srinagar. The police official said two people were killed and at least four injured.
The second grenade was lobbed into a store next to an entrance to the University of Kashmir in Srinagar, injuring three people, the official added.
The attacks were the worst on one day since the clampdown started. A grenade attack in early November killed one person.
The Indian government has insisted that "normalcy" is returning to occupied Kashmir, but locals are still cut off from the internet and dozens of political leaders remain in detention.
Food shops are only open for a few hours each day and no public buses and taxis have operated since the clampdown. Protests are held regularly.
A military spokesman claimed two fighters were killed in a siege in the Pulwama district on Monday and Tuesday. Media reports said both were Kashmiris.
An official said Indian forces cornered two fighters from the Hizbul Mujahideen group, killing one after a brief firefight on Monday night.
The other was shot dead in the early hours of Tuesday, he added.

Police release video from city murder
CAMDEN - Investigators want the public's help in identifying a man who may have information about a recent homicide.

More: Teen murder victim chosen at random
The video shows an alley between the 2800 block of North Constitution Road and North Congress Road, where Rhodes was shot around 9:40 p.m.
More: After Obama's praise, Camden worsens
Anyone with information about the man's identity or whereabouts is asked to call Prosecutor's Det. Pete Longo at (856) 580-5854 or Camden County Police Det. Shawn Donlon at (856) 757-7420.
People are advised not to approach the suspect.

I like this one more. The flowers in the foreground and the mountains are more apparent, making the photo more interesting and balanced. In the other shot, the clouds were the primary attraction. I also think they are redundant, strictly speaking.
Still, both are great shots!
My $.02
Steve Larson - Jun 2, 2005 2:50 pm - Voted 10/10I agree with Dave
For the same reasons he outlined. Yeah, they're redundant, but still beautiful.

Thanks guys. So should I dump one of them (first one)?
Dave K - Jun 2, 2005 3:17 pm - Hasn't votedRe: I agree with Dave
Following the new guidelines, probably. But there is no harm in providing a link to the other photo, which could be posted elsewhere.
It's your call, bro.

They are both phenominal photos, but show different perspectives. I would prefer they both remain.

Hey Misha.
Yeah, we were supposed to go the Valley but due to some NPS-related camping changes, we're probably gonna head further south (Lone Pine area/Russell maybe...........wondering how bad the snow is likely to get on approach mid-day though)?
Yeah - definitely up for some beer drinking (at least - given your tight schedule....basing this on your question reg. 1-day climbs in OR/WA earlier) when you guys pass thru. PDX. Keep us updated as to when that'll be (thinking another Portland SP get together??).
Looks like you have some more "fans" of this photo - I see the rating is now down <4 stars....WTF?? Standard sh.. I guess - oh well - outstanding shot (should be photo of the week).
Misha - Jun 14, 2005 5:52 pm - Hasn't votedRe: Holy Cow!!
Snow starts at around 10.5' in the Eastern Sierra right now. If you make the approach early in the day (before 9-10am) or late in the afternoon (after 3-4pm), it may be firm enough to walk on w/o postholing! Man, I really want to do Fishook Arete on Russell right now but have to wait a bit longer. Time, as you accurately guessed, is very limited right now.
Looks like we will be staying in Portland for 2 nights. I will post our schedule on the NW board later this week with specifics. It would be awesome to hang out while we are there!
As for the photo voting, well, what can you do. What goes around, comes around...

Business News: Greubel Forsey Names Antonio Calce CEOA new boss for the tourbillon specialist.
Perhaps the leading maker of avant-garde and exotic tourbillon wristwatches, Greubel Forsey has just appointed Antonio Calce as chief executive officer.
Having spent the early years of his career at Panerai in product development and then overseeing its manufacture, Mr Calce then became chief executive of Corum, and subsequently Eterna as well. Next came the top job at Girard-Perregaux, where he had a mandate to turn it around but departed before his plans gained traction.
At Greubel Forsey, Mr Calce succeeds Fabrice Deschanel, who became chief executive officer of Greubel Forsey in 2017 after several years as head of Audemars Piguet's complications subsidiary Renaud & Papi.
Commenting in the announcement, Robert Greubel stated, "I am convinced Antonio will carry the Greubel Forsey signature a long way, all the while respecting our values and our DNA." Mr Greubel remains chairman of the board, while fellow cofounder Stephen Forsey continues in his role helming product and movement development.
While the role of Greubel Forsey chief executive was historically one and the same with the top job at Complitime, Greubel Forsey's sister company that builds complications for other brands, Mr Calce's new role is only overseeing Greubel Forsey.

Cardi B is getting a Netflix show, because the internet gods really love us
If you thought a baby would slow Cardi B down, think again, because she just keeps proving she's unstoppable. The rap superstar is set to host Rhythm + Flow, a 10-part hip-hop talent competition, on Netflix beginning in fall 2019. She'll be joined by Chance the Rapper and T.I. on the John Legend-produced show.
Rhythm + Flow is a first-of-its-kind venture for Netflix. The streaming giant has produced competition shows, including The Big Family Cooking Showdown, and reality shows like Queer Eye before, but this will be its first music talent search—the type of show that has dominated traditional TV for the past decade.
Cardi B is no stranger to reality TV—we got to know and love her on Love & Hip Hop: New York—so we know she's going to kill it as a judge. And T.I., too, has enjoyed time on the small screen in shows like T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle and its successor, Friends & Family Hustle.
According to Deadline, "Auditions will begin this fall across the country, including the judges' hometowns of Atlanta, Chicago, and New York. In each audition city, established rappers who hail from that city will serve as guest judges."
Want to throw your hat in the ring? Audition applications are open now at RhythmAndFlowAuditions.com. Let's hope Cardi ends up crowning the next rap queen.

Professor Peter G. Kazansky is a physicist leading a group at the Optoelectronics Research Centre at the University of Southampton to develop a data storage technology called the 5D Memory Crystal. It is a long-term data storage technology that will long outlive the human race and potentially the whole universe.
He is currently collaborating with Arch Mission Foundation and SpaceX to preserve all of the world's data on Earth, in orbit around the sun, on The Moon, on Mars and beyond. He is also collaborating with artists to create the first pieces of eternal art and has been in partnership with Memory of Mankind to develop ways to store video & audio on the 5D Memory Crystal.
Peter spoke with me in March 2018 to discuss the form and function of his pioneering and complex new storage technology the 5D Memory Crystal. We discussed a wide range of complex and fascinating subjects including lasers that can transform matter, the development of the fundamental phenomena that defines the storage capabilities of the 5d Memory Crystal, the incredible lifetime of the technology, what was stored on the memory crystal, the read/write technicalities, collaborating with Arch Mission Foundation and SpaceX, the future of the technology and collaborations with artists to create the first pieces of eternal art, a surprising discovery of an application of the technology, and finally the strange serendipitous reasons behind the name of Serendipity Photonics involving a Barbara Hepworth sculpture and theories on our possible futures now changed by the fact of the conversation itself! Also please excuse the fact that I keep referring to the 5D Memory Crystal as the 5D Storage Crystal, sorry Peter.
This is an abridged version of our full conversation, a number of other subjects were also discussed that feature in the film.

2020 MDGA - Testimony in Support of SB881
The HQL Statute and the Bill:
These bills would amend Md Code Public Safety 5-117.1 (HQL statute). That Section prohibits law-abiding, responsible Maryland citizens from acquiring a handgun unless they have a Handgun Qualification License ("HQL"). Md. Code Ann., Pub. Safety, § 5-117.1(c). Subsection (d) imposes training requirements, including a (i) a minimum of 4 hours of instruction by a qualified handgun instructor" consisting of "(ii) classroom instruction on: 1. State firearm law; 2. home firearm safety; 3. handgun mechanisms and operation; and (iii) a firearms orientation component that demonstrates the person's safe operation and handling of a firearm." In regulations, the Maryland State Police have added a new and additional live-fire training requirement, mandating that the HQL applicant "safely fires at least one round of live ammunition." COMAR 29.03.01.29(C)(4). That live round requirement is not found in the statute.
In the interests of full disclosure, we note that the live-fire requirement, along with the rest of the HQL statute, is presently being challenged by MSI in federal court. See MSI v. Hogan, 2017 WL 3891705 (D. MD. 2017) (denying the State's motion to dismiss). The district court, in a later decision, held that the plaintiffs lacked standing without reaching the merits of the constitutionality of the HQL statute. That decision is on appeal and is awaiting oral argument. See MSI v. Hogan, No. 19-1469 (4th Cir.). On the merits, we believe that it is highly likely that the Supreme Court will make use of a "text, history and tradition" test in reaching of the merits of NYSPRA v. NYC, No. 18-280, cert granted 139 S.Ct. 939 (2019). NYSPRA was argued on December 2, 2019, and numerous petitions for certiorari in Second Amendment cases are now being held by the Supreme Court pending a decision in NYSPRA. The HQL statute will likely fail under the text, history and tradition test that the NYC Court is likely to employ.
The Live-Fire Requirement Is Not Authorized By the HQL Statute and Is Discriminatory:
It is well-established in Maryland law that "[a]n agency's authority extends only as far as the General Assembly prescribes." Thanner Enters., LLC v. Balt. Cty., 995 A.2d 257, 263 (Md. 2010). Thus, an agency's rule or regulations cannot "contradict the language or purpose of the statute." Medstar Health v. Md. Health Care Comm'n, 827 A.2d 83, 96 (Md. 2003). Here, the Maryland State Police has grafted onto Section 5-117.1(d)(3)(iii)'s requirement of a "firearms orientation component" an entirely new "practice component" under which the applicant must safely fire "at least one round of live ammunition." COMAR 29.03.01.29C(4). Although Section 5-117.1(n) provides that "[t]he Secretary may adopt regulations to carry out the provisions of this section," it does not allow the Maryland State Police to add new "provisions," such as adding "a practice component" so as to mandate live-fire.
The State Police rule is directly contrary to legislative intent. As originally proposed, the HQL bill required a safety course that included "a firearms qualification component that demonstrates the person's proficiency and use of the firearm." 2013 Leg. Sess. SB 281 (First Reader) at 17.9 By common usage of these terms, a "qualification component" that demonstrates "proficiency" calls for live-fire. This "qualification component" was deleted by the General Assembly, however, and Section 5-117.1(d)(3)(iii) was changed to its current language by amendment in the House of Delegates proffered by then-Delegate McDermott. Chapter 427 of the 2013 Laws of Maryland. See http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/2013rs/amds/bil_0001/SB0281_48392701.pdf. The debate on the floor of the House of Delegates confirms that the amendment was intended to eliminate a live-fire requirement that would have been associated with the "proficiency and use" language of the original bill. See General Assembly of Maryland, 2013 Regular Session Proceedings – House Audio, April 2, 2013, Session 2, at 19:05 (April 2, 2013). The General Assembly's rejection of this language in the law that passed means that live-fire training exceeds the scope of the statutory grant. This body should insist that the State Police follow the law that the General Assembly actually passed.
The live-fire requirement is not only unauthorized, it effectively discriminates against residents of the City of Baltimore and the poor populations in Maryland. The live-fire component imposes severe burdens on the ability of Maryland citizens to obtain a Handgun License. Training without a live-fire requirement can take place anywhere, while training that must include live-fire can only take place at a firing range, the availability of which is highly limited (there are none in Baltimore City). The need for a range, in turn, acts as a complete barrier to the acquisition of a HQL License by persons, especially the poor, minorities and the disadvantaged, who live in areas, such as Baltimore and most of urban Maryland, where access to a shooting range is highly limited or non-existent. Range access is also expensive and requiring it means that the cost of the training is likewise expensive. Indeed, the discharge of such live ammunition, required by the State Police regulation, is flatly banned by local law in the urban portions of Maryland, including all of the City of Baltimore, all of Prince Georges County and most of Montgomery County. The sole exception is for discharges taking place on "established ranges" which are protected from local regulation by state law, Md. Code, Criminal Law § 4-209(d)(2). Again, there are very few such ranges in these areas (and none in Baltimore City).
There is no justification for a live-fire requirement that has this sort of intentional discriminatory impact. Whatever the merits of the State Police requirement, the residents of Baltimore and the urban areas of Maryland should not be placed at such a profound disadvantage. Persons with means will be able to pay a private instructor who will have access to a range. Cost will not be a barrier for these individuals. They will be able to obtain an HQL. Poorer Marylanders are out of luck. That is intolerable. Like it or not, under the Supreme Court's decision in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), all law-abiding, responsible adult citizens have a right to buy a handgun for self-defense. Period. Full stop. Not even the State Attorney General has disputed that basic premise in the MSI litigation. That right should be available to every law-abiding responsible citizen, regardless of whether they live in Baltimore or somewhere else in Maryland. By reversing the discriminatory requirement of live-fire, this bill will help ensure that right is available to all law-abiding citizens, just like other constitutional rights. The HQL statute will eventually fail to survive constitutional challenge, especially after a decision by the Supreme Court in NYC. In the meantime, the law-abiding citizens of Baltimore and of the other urban portions of Maryland should enjoy the same rights as enjoyed by persons with means. We urge a favorable report.

Bush learns about internet a moment too late
Contact: Ray Thomas (mailto:email@example.com)
Zack Exley (mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com)
Bush attorney Benjamin Ginsberg
(202-457-6405, fax 202-457-6315)
URLs: http://rtmark.com/gwbush/, http://rtmark.com/gwbush1/,
Bush letter to F.E.C., etc.: http://rtmark.com/bush.html
Each week, thousands of people seeking information on probable Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush, type "gwbush" into their web browsers and end up at http://www.gwbush.com/.
Bush has tried hard for weeks to shut down the rogue site, which parodies Bush's official http://www.georgewbush.com/ and discusses his past cocaine use, as well as parodying U.S. politics in general. Bush's legal efforts began April 14 with a cease-and-desist letter claiming that gwbush.com violated copyright laws. Shortly thereafter, on May 10, Time Magazine reported that the Bush campaign had just purchased sixty additional domain names, including bushbites.com and bushsux.org, in an apparent attempt at damage control. Bush's most recent effort is a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission that may have widespread implications for free speech on the internet.
gwbush.com is owned by Zack Exley, a Boston computer consultant. Most of the content on the website was provided by RTMark, a group that specializes in calling attention to corporate subversion of the U.S. political and electoral process. gwbush.com is listed as an unofficial Bush campaign site in Yahoo! and elsewhere.
Bush's latest legal effort against gwbush.com, a complaint filed May 3 with the Federal Elections Commission, asserts that Exley has violated election laws by not registering as a political committee, and urges that the site's "fair market value" puts the endeavor well over the $1000 threshold that defines a political committee under election law. (At one point, Bush's counsel had asked Exley at what price he would sell his domains, which also include gwbush.org and gbush.org; Exley quoted $350,000.)
The F.E.C. case may set a legal precedent in the area of internet speech in electoral campaigns. One F.E.C. employee, who preferred not to be identified, said the commission has recently established a "special inquiry committee" to discuss possible regulation of sites such as gwbush.com.
"George W. Bush apparently thinks small-time folk should have to register with the government before exercising free speech on the internet," said Rita Mae Rakoczi, a lawyer and RTMark representative. "The implications of such a precedent could be quite serious."
RTMark and Mr. Exley represent the unlikely kind of collaboration the internet makes possible. Mr. Exley is a computer consultant to the Boston financial sector, and describes himself as "a Christian who loathes hypocrisy." RTMark is primarily devoted to anti-corporate activism, and counts the very companies that Mr. Exley works for as some of its targets.
By reserving the domain names, Exley initially hoped to sell them back to the Bush camp for a small profit. That changed, however, when he read news articles that discussed Bush's refusal to deny past cocaine use. His interest in the matter has since escalated into something of a crusade. "Bush won't deny he used cocaine, yet hundreds of thousands of people are serving very long sentences for equivalent or lesser crimes, including many in Texas [where Bush is governor]. Clinton just got away with perjury while a hundred people are in jail for that crime. Do we want our children to learn that a crime is only a crime if you don't have power?"
Exley first invited RTMark to provide content for gwbush.com after hearing about their "franchise" program, in which the group provides a tailor-made thematic website to anyone with an appropriate domain. According to RTMark spokesperson Ray Thomas, "Bush himself was originally a secondary issue for us. We just wanted to use gwbush.com as a platform to make various points about how corporations have subverted and sabotaged the political and electoral process, and hoped it could illustrate the low level to which campaigning has sunk. The more Bush has tried to get in our way, however, the more we've chosen to make the site a direct attack on his 'stealth' presidential campaign, and the worse that makes it for Bush." (RTMark's first version of gwbush.com is now archived at http://rtmark.com/gwbush.com/.)
While the controversy surrounding http://www.gwbush.com/ represents the first time RTMark has been drawn into political conflict, clumsy legal actions are nothing new to RTMark. In April of last year, for example, Geffen and BMG Music wrote RTMark and Illegal Art letters demanding they cease distribution of Deconstructing Beck, a CD of music made entirely from samples of Beck recordings. Those letters (posted at http://rtmark.com/lawletters.html) helped RTMark draw widespread attention to issues of fair use and copyright law with what had begun as an obscure release with a very limited audience.
The full text of the Bush lawyer's letter to the F.E.C., his cease-and-desist letter, and other materials can be found at http://rtmark.com/bush.html. The pages of http://www.gwbush.com/ that deal specifically with Bush's cocaine use can be found at http://www.gwbush.com/bushpramnesty.html and http://www.gwbush.com/bushq3.html. For more on Bush's domain-name buying frenzy, see http://biz.yahoo.com/rf/990513/bn8.html.
RTMark (http://rtmark.com/) uses its limited liability as a corporation to sponsor the sabotage of mass-produced products. One of RTMark's ultimate aims is to eliminate the principle of limited liability. Occasionally, as with http://www.gwbush.com/, RTMark participates in advocacy directly related to issues of corporate abuses of the political process.

Country: U.S.A.
Genre: Indie Rock
Label Number: 48876-2
© 2004 Brute/Beaute
For More Adventurous, Rilo Kiley's Warner-distributed hello to the big time, the Los Angeles band is more cohesive, more spotless, and tidier in its tangle of indie pop, torch song, and too-cool-for-school cynicism than ever before. This time out they favor craft over ruckus, rarefied over reckless. Sometimes Adventurous goes too far -- like Belle & Sebastian, RK's fastidiousness can become a sticky glaze. (The overwrought sway of "Does He Love You?" comes to mind.) But the album is a mostly-perfect collection of the various sounds the band does best, wrapped around easily findable hooks. They're well-dressed indie kids ready and quite able to charm the mainstream. Jenny Lewis' vocals are lighter than clouds and Petula Clarksweet, even if she occasionally spits venom. "Any asshole can open up a museum/Put all the things he loves on display," she dismisses in the Luna-like opener "It's a Hit." But Lewis' characters' faults and failings are just bruises on the Rilo Kiley fruit, blemishes that characterize the band's effortlessly clean swirl of live string arrangements, subtle synth/keys, and glowing acoustic guitar. "I Never" is a full-on, cast of thousands soundstage production, a robust, keening ballad filled with pedal steel, fuzzed-out Beatles guitar soloing, and Lewis' gargantuan voice. The title track takes us back to Rilo Kiley's earlier work with its atmospheric country feel, while "Love and War [11/11/46]" is refreshingly propulsive -- it could be Stereophonics covering Lone Justice. Most of the album's quieter moments are equally strong, if somewhat grayed out. Adventurous' stylistic restlessness might take some getting used to for new listeners. But fans from the Saddle Creek days will enjoy the greater attention to detail, and everyone will love the bountiful hooks.

A new algae bloom with "very high cell counts" has been detected at Hoop Lake in the Uinta Mountains, according to the Utah Department of Environmental Quality.
Six samples were taken out of the lake, all of which had cell counts that warranted advisories.
"Harmful algal blooms occur when normally occurring cyanobacteria in the water multiply quickly to form visible colonies or blooms. These blooms sometimes produce potent cyanotoxins that pose serious health risks to humans and animals," the Department of Environmental Quality said in a statement.
Because this particular bloom has such a high cell count, it has the potential to be very toxic. Individuals are encouraged to stay away from Hoop Lake, and to keep pets and other animals away from the bloom.
Hoop Lake is located in northern Utah, in Wasatch Cache National Forest.

Thomas Williams (c.1760-1830) was a marine in the 33rd (Plymouth) Company when he arrived at Sydney aboard the Friendship in January 1788 as part of the First Fleet. He served in Captain James Meredith's Company at Port Jackson.
Williams was sent to Norfolk Island on the Sirius in March 1790. He was discharged from the marines in Sydney in December 1791 and returned to Norfolk Island as a settler, receiving a 60 acre grant of land at Creswell Bay in February 1792. In 1793 he was also working as a constable and a miller. By 1794 he was living with Ann Lynch and her young son Thomas.
Williams, Lynch, and her son left Norfolk Island for Port Jackson on the Investigator in February 1805 and then travelled to Port Dalrymple on the Buffalo. Williams and Ann returned to Sydney in 1809 as Williams had received a 127 acre grant of land at Minto. In 1814 he was living in Sydney and working as a miller. In 1828 he was employed by Simeon Lord as a miller.
He is possibly the Thomas Williams who died at the General Hospital Sydney in August 1830, whose age was given as 63, and was buried in the Catholic section of the Devonshire Street Cemetery.

"Thinking about a new garage floor? You will love Michael and Monique's work. I saw an example of what they do at the 99 Brickoven on Aurora St. in Lancaster and called. My garage floor was 25 years old, pitted, oil and rust stained. What a transformation! I had a large crack on the garage step going into the house. Gone! For anyone who uses their garage as living space, you'll want this. Monique and Michael use the best materials and use a 5-layer chip system. It cleans up with Simply Green Industrial Purple Soap. So far I'm thrilled. Every neighbor who has looked at my garage floor has been blown away."

"I just had DCE polymers put a epoxy chip floor in my 1600 sf garage and on my concrete patio. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the result. They took our cracked chipped floors and turned them into a work of art! I never thought I would want to take my shoes off to walk into my garage! Michael and Monique are true professionals and take an enormous amount pride in what they do. The price was more than fair and I would highly recommend them to anyone."

"My concrete was in terrible condition. Huge cracks and chipping all over the floor. I had 4 companies come and tell me that they couldn't fix it. I called these guys with low expectations thinking that I couldn't get it fixed. Not only did they fix it but it looks brand new in my garage! These guys are incredible! They really did restore my floor. Have recommended to friends and family."

"The perfect partnership of personal care and professional work is exactly what you'll get from DCE Polymer. What you will be most impressed with from Mike and Monique is how they will treat you like they have an individual stake in both a fair price and the final product of your floor. Because they do. They took tremendous pride in the work that they did on our floor—never once cutting corners. They genuinely cared about making us happy. If you want professional top quality flooring at a great price from a company you can trust, look no further! We couldn't be happier with the work they did for us and we look forward to making many new memories in the space we have reclaimed in our basement."

"I had my back patio done by this company. They were great. They came out fast and did an estimate. They explained everything in great detail. They always showed up when they said and I have to say I made a great choice going with this company. So easy to work with and always made sure I was happy with everything. I'm extremely pleased with how everything turned out and I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to have anything done to their patio or garage floors. I'm going to have my garage done and i will definitely be calling them! They also did my parents garage and it looks beautiful! So much detail goes into everything and you get to pick the colors. So many choices. I can't say enough about this husband and wife team. They are amazing! Also they give you a lifetime warranty."

The Serious Fraud Office has welcomed a court decision confirming the confidentiality of material that was inadvertently disclosed by the agency to the defendants in the National Party donations case.
The material was disclosed recently during the course of the agency's compliance with its normal disclosure obligations.
The SFO acted with an abundance of care in seeking the court order as one of the parties had reportedly expressed an interest in publishing the material.
The agency believes that any publication of the material would have breached the SFO's secrecy provisions and been contrary to requirements of confidentiality applying to the use of material obtained through court proceedings. However, the SFO sought a court order to ensure there was no doubt that the material remained confidential.
The SFO takes every step necessary to protect the security and confidentiality of material received in the course of an investigation.Error, group does not exist! Check your syntax! (ID: 15)

Food Revolution Pittsburgh
The Food Revolution is on in Pittsburgh and there's so much to discuss! Let start at the begining. Last year at the One Young World Conference, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver challenged Pittsburgh to revamp our eating habits. From this request, the Food Revolution Cooking Club was born with the help of some motivated local students and some of the top chefs and restaurateurs in Pittsburgh, like Bobby Fry from Bar Marco. The goal is to empower high school students to make better food choices by providing culinary skills, access to local chefs, and industry experience. Over the past year and a half, Bar Marco and other local chefs have hosted the Cooking Club at Obama Academy in East Liberty and now they need our help to take it to the next level!
On May 16th from 2:30-6pm, they will be hosting the biggest Food Revolution Day in the world at the Barack Obama Academy High School. They're expecting 5,000+ attendees with over 60 exhibitors and the cooking club students, alongside 20 local chefs, to cook for the crowd. ALL of the food is FREE!
Right now they are raising funds on CrowdTilt for a variety of initiatives. If they reach $25,000 they can make Pittsburgh "ground zero for the largest Food Revolution celebration on the planet." If they raise $250,000 they will work to improve the cooking club to make it a sustainable program, which includes purchasing food and eventually getting a food truck for the students to run. The students will get to earn $12 an hour to run the truck that will serve their fellow students and community. Eventually, they hope to expand to more public schools to completely transform how students are exposed to food in the 'Burgh. It's time to Democratize good food everyone – Join the revolution and donate today!

U.S. military operations on the peninsula and in the waters around Korea are routinely conducted to exercise bilateral maritime maneuvers and operations, and demonstrate resolve and commitment to the U.S.-ROK alliance.
This routine, bilateral training exercise is scheduled to include high value unit protection, surface and anti-submarine warfare training events, air defense events, liaison officer exchanges, and dynamic ship maneuvers.
U.S. Navy ships scheduled to participate include the aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73), with embarked Carrier Air Wing 5; the guided missile cruisers USS Antietam (CG 54) and USS Shiloh (CG 67); and the guided missile destroyers USS John S.

I have gone a tad bit overboard with Nolen Gur, here on my blog. As a personal favorite, I have loved the flavor, fragrance, and the sweetness it gives. Moreover, my post on Nolen Gur and why it's unique has grabbed a lot of attention, especially these winter months when it's freshly available in the market. You can find the post here ~ https://anartsyappetite.com/nolen-gur-uniquely-bengal/
I made an eggless cake using this gur for Poush Sankranti or Poush Parbon. Poush Parbon is the celebration of harvest all over in India. Different states have a different name for it – Makar Sankranti in Gujarat, Poush Sankranti in West Bengal, Bihu in Assam, Pongal in Tamil Nadu, Lohri in Punjab and Delhi, among many more. The key of this celebration is to celebrate the seasonal harvest that grows in the region.
Since you can read all about Nolen Gur in my previous post, I am going right down into this recipe. This recipe is extra special since it's a cake that's made with the gur, instead of the traditional desserts that's made with it – like Patishapta, Naru, and Paayesh.
Ingredients you will need:
Dry Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp raisins, dusted with some AP flour
Wet Ingredients
1 ¾ cup unsalted butter (less than 2 sticks in the US), room temperature
4-5 tbsp condensed milk
½ to 1 cup milk (approx.)
1 cup liquid Nolen Gur (from abhout 1 1/2 cups solid gur)
- Preheat oven to 385 F. Prepare a pan by coating it with butter and dusting with some AP flour. (or use a baking spray)
- To melt the Nolen Gur, add 2 tbsp water in a pan, add the gur and bring it to heat. The end result should not be very watery. The thickness will depend on quantity of gur. If you add more gur, then just add a tbsp more of water.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and keep aside.
- Cream butter and condensed milk together
- Sift in and mix the dry ingredients.
- Add the milk, little at a time, to smoothen out the cake mixture. Mix well to get rid of any lumps.
- Add the liquid Nolen Gur. Add more if you want it sweeter and more flavorful. Beat until smooth.
- Fold in the raisins. Don't beat it after this step.
- Bake for 25-30 mins or till a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Your moist Nolen Gur Eggless Cake is ready to be served.The other Nolen Gur recipes on my blog are here:Nolen Gur-er Patishapta Recipe ~ https://anartsyappetite.com/the-nolen-gur-series-chapter-1-patishapta/
Nolen Gur-er Naarkel Naru Recipe ~ https://anartsyappetite.com/the-nolen-gur-series-part-ii-naarkel-naru/
Nolen Gur-er Paayesh or Kheer (Rice Pudding) ~ https://anartsyappetite.com/noler-gur-series-part-iii-paayesh-rice-pudding/
This cake is PERRRRRFECT with tea or coffee! It can be eaten as a snack and good for your child's lunchbox.
Until next time, Happy Baking!

A red golden retriever, Auto reached heights of fame that few dogs or people ever dream of, he was the canine that Garth Stein based the narrator of his bestseller The Art of Racing in the Rain on. Garth would often come out to the track with his dad, ride in the backseat (Auto took the passenger seat, of course), and learned about the world of motorsports from Don Kitch Jr. Watching Auto lean into the turns like a pro driver made a lasting impression on the writer.
Auto was very popular with many other clients as well, once they learned not to leave their lunches unattended. He was often the first ProFormance "instructor" which clients met in the paddock. The canine was more than excited to introduce you to his world-famous dad, Don, or show you his favorite "big boy toys" (otherwise known as wooden sticks) which he would chew on or throw around entertaining the students and disrupting the class.
Today Auto lives on in the memories of ProFormance instructors and clients alike. Around the ProFormance building, there are constant little reminders of his presence, most notably, the small memorial plate above the entrance step where he would welcome the day's drivers. Ask any veteran ProFormance instructor or client, and they'll be sure to have an Auto story to tell.

The Arc'teryx LEAF Courier 15 is a messenger style bag released as part of their most recent catalog line-up; we'll take a look.
Arc'Teryx LEAF recently released the latest addition to their equipment line – the Courier 15. The secure and manageable bag has some cool features that got me all hot and bothered. First off, it's capable of carrying a sub-gun concealed within. (You can bet your ass that we'll be trying that out.) Arc'Teryx design and production standards make this bag, all while playing to the LEAF crowd. It looks like Arc'Teryx has a stellar addition to their LEAF line.
At first glance, the Courier 15 looks like any other messenger style bag, with a few sleek design elements. With limited access points and sturdy zippers, I was pleased after the initial look-over. Small features, like extended zipper pulls and clean overall lines, have me loving this bag even more.
The bag only has two pockets (one small and one large), with the smaller pocket including a retention lanyard for smaller objects. The larger pocket, with three entry points, includes a laptop sleeve and velcro panels for easy addition of modular pouches to fit the need. The main pocket already has me dreaming up ways to make this bag my new EDC.
Overall, super impressed, but not surprised, with the Arc'Teryx LEAF Courier 15 messenger bag. What's up next, you ask? Well, travel and excursions to see if this bag can live up to the standards. Oh, and of course, trying to carry a sub-gun concealed in it. This should be fun.
Want to learn even more about the Courier 15 in the meantime? Check out the Arc'Teryx LEAF website. Retail for the bag is $279.00. We'll advise more once we've had time to bang it around some.

"In...the West Country, in Somerset, Devon, and Hereford -- in fact all over rural England -- the pubs serve one of the finest lunches ever devised, incredibly simple, rustic and plain, yet a meal that can be memorable given the right conditions. Called a "ploughman's lunch," it consists of a cut of Cheddar, a home-baked bread roll, pickled onions and a pint of beer -- English beer, mind, not the light amber and insipid continental stuff, but the strong dark ale, full of malt and hops, beer that is the natural accompaniment to such a feast."
-- Adrian Bailey, The Cooking of the British Isles (NY: Time-Life Books, 1969).
All the above items were made by me at home, mostly from scratch (non-scratch ingredients: malt extract, cheese starter culture). Interestingly, three of the recipes require controlled culturing of micro-organisms; on the contrary, the pickles require inhibition of such cultures. The whole thing is a sort of exercise in culinary microbiology.
6.5 lb Amber malt extract syrup
1 lb Crystal malt
2 oz Northern Brewer hops (bittering) (1 oz, 60 min; 1 oz 30 min)
½ oz Kent Goldings hops (aroma) (2 min)
1 packet dry Whitbread ale yeast
¾ c dextrose (priming sugar)
Pseudo-mash the crystal malt (add water to cover in a pan, heat to 150°, let stand 45 min, then strain and sparge into the brewpot with 130°-170° water). Add malt syrup to the brewpot, bring to boil, add hops according to schedule: half bittering hops at first boil, the rest of the bittering hops 30 mins later, and the aroma hops 28 minutes after that. Cool to 70, pitch yeast.
I do a two-stage ferment; primary until the foaming stops (my primary is a 6-gal food-safe plastic bucket covered with plastic wrap tied down with bungees); secondary until fermentation stops.
When it comes time to bottle, prime each bottle with dextrose according to the following table:
|12 oz bottle
|1 tsp
|22 oz bottle
|1½ tsp
|champagne bottle
|2 tsp
I wasn't doing OG and FG measurements back when I brewed this, and I actually haven't done another batch since 1994...
2 gal whole milk
2 oz mesophilic cheese starter culture
¼ rennet tablet
¼ c water
2 T coarse (kosher-style) salt
Heat milk to 90°F, thoroughly stir in starter culture, cover and maintain heat for 45 min. Dissolve the quarter-tab of rennet in the water, stir the solution gently into the warm milk for about a minute. Maintain heat at 90°for 45 minutes until the curd is firm and clean-breaking. Cut curds into (as uniform as possible) ¼ -inch cubes and let sit 15 minutes
Stirring curds very gently, raise the heat very slowly to 100°F over a space of 30 minutes, then maintain that temperature for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. At the end of that time, let the curds settle and pour off as much ofthe whey as you can without pouring curds with it (you can drink the whey, or make another cheese of it). Then pour the curds into a strainer lined with cheesecloth and stir the curds with your fingers to separate mats of curds and encourage them to give up more whey. Mix the salt in well, then put the curds back in the pot and set the pot in a sinkful of hot to keep warm for an hour. Stir the curds from time to time, and keep the water hot.
Line a 2lb cheese mold with a sterile, coarse cheesecloth, pour in the curds, fold the cheesecloth over, add a follower and press at 15lbs pressure for 10 min. Turn the whole mold over and press at 30 lbs for 10 min. Turn one last time and press at 50lb for 24 hours.
Remove the cheese from the press, gently peel off the cheesecloth, and set it on a clean cheese mat (I actually use a bamboo sushi-rolling mat). Turn the cheese several times a day until the surface is dry to the touch, about 2-5 days. Wax the cheese and store it at 45°-50° for 2-6 months in a fairly humid environment (you can put it in the fridge along with -- but not in -- a bowl of water).
If the cheese starts to grow white mold in the days while it's drying before you wax it, you can wipe the mold off with a cheesecloth dipped in vinegar -- which is actually a pretty good way to take mold off a commercial cheese as well (the white mold, at least; with the blue stuff, ye'r on yer own).
3 c whole wheat flour
2 c bread flour
2 c lukewarm water
1½ t salt
1 pkg active dry yeast
Dissolve yeast in a little of the water, then add that to the rest of the water mixed with the salt, in a bowl. Stir flour into the yeast a little at a time. Dust hands and counter with flour and knead the dough for 8-10 minutes, adding flour if it's too sticky, until it's silky and stretchy.
Grease a bowl, set the dough in it and turn the dough ball to grease it too. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place (I use my oven, turned off, with just the heat from the pilot light) until double in volume, ~2 hours. Punch down and let rise again until double. Turn the dough out and knead it again briefly, then cut it into two equal portions.
Make a loaf of each half, set the loaves on a greased bakesheet, let them rise until double (~40 min). Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake the loaves 50 minutes, until crusty.
1 doz hardboiled eggs, shelled
1/2 lb whole pearl onions, peeled
2.5 c cider vinegar
4 T honey
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 t salt
¼ t each: cinnamon, cloves, mace, dill, tarragon, grains of paradise
a pinch of turmeric
Put a mixture of eggs and onions in hot, sterilized canning jars. Bring all the other ingredients to a boil in a saucepan, simmer 5 mins. Pour the hot liquid over the eggs and onions, covering completely. Seal jars, cool, and store in a cool place.

Guys, can we seriously wait until E3 to make these announcements?
After being leaked via a keyring, Ubisoft thought it best to make a brief announcement of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, which is set in Ancient Greece. A brief video on Twitter shows the infamous Spartan Kick from 300, ending with a title drop. We'll definitely be finding out more info at E3 in less than two weeks!
See you at E3! pic.twitter.com/03NTPhCkCf
