I presented a short report to the membership about the search for our new director and I wanted to make sure that all members, especially those who could not attend the meeting, are informed about where we stand and what our next steps will be.
At the close of the application period on October 1, we have in hand thirteen (13)* applications from excellent candidates. Two women and eleven men have applied for this important position and it is the search committee's task to present a ranked short list of finalists to the Council for selection of our next director at its March 2014 meeting.
To accomplish this, the search committee will be holding a teleconference to establish a rubric of skills necessary to fulfill the job description approved by the Council and shared with the applicants in the position announcements. This process, when done properly and utilized properly in the selection process, helps reduce the impact of bias, both conscious and unconscious in the selection process; a critical concern for me personally and for our committee.
After we individually consider the applicants and rate their skills in the pre-determined areas based on their initial application, we will then have another phone conference to discuss the overall rankings and decide how to proceed. It is likely we will down-select at that time to a 'long' list of candidates (which could include all applicants, or a subset), who will then be phone interviewed. Prior to the phone interview we will review our phone interview process and proper questioning etiquette. After the phone interviews, we will score the applicant's performance against our skill matrix and go through a down-select process after discussion to a 'short' list of candidates.
We anticipate interviewing the 'short' list candidates at AAVSO HQ in late January or early February 2014, incorporating staff input following meetings between the candidates and the AAVSO staff. Shortly after these interview dates, we will provide to Council a report detailing our process and the final rank-ordered list of candidates for their consideration and recruitment efforts.
In the meantime, the Council is establishing internal procedures for the final selection process including voting considerations for ties and so-on. I am happy they have undertaken this step and they are doing a wonderful job getting prepared for the final steps of the process.
In short, the hard phase, phase two, of the recruitment of our new Director is under way and we all look forward to doing our best on behalf of you the AAVSO members, the AAVSO itself and the broader community it serves.
AAVSO Director Arne Henden informed the AAVSO Council earlier this year that he intends to retire from service in early 2015. The AAVSO has greatly benefitted from his dedicated and insightful service and all members should wish him well in his retirement, although it is still more than a year away. Given his passion for astronomy and variable star observing in particular, we are all sure he will be interacting with us for years to come and I for one will continue using his excellent book on photometry, which I have found invaluable as a radio astronomer (my photons are a lot lower energy than the ones AAVSO observers gather).
President Motta formed a search committee in early spring with the intention of getting a search process started quickly, thus leaving plenty of time to conclude an open and inclusive search for the next AAVSO Director. Having served as the chair of the last search committee that identified Arne from among a highly qualified pool of candidates, when Mario asked me to serve again, I happily agreed. We learned some valuable lessons from the last search and we are applying that knowledge to this search.
So who the heck am I? Well, first and foremost, I am passionate about astronomy in all its forms. I love science and I love engaged scientific observation and I share this with all AAVSO members. What we do together is fun, exciting and, most importantly, of great scientific value. I came to admire and cherish the AAVSO during my dissertation research and my regular interaction with then Director Janet Mattei, who spoke with me last by phone just a few weeks before she passed away. I became a member, have served on the Council and regularly support the organization in any way I can, both personally and in my role as Executive Officer of the American Astronomical Society, although my duties and responsibilities often keep me from enjoying pure observing as I used to, I stay engaged to the best extent possible. For example, I managed to squeak in a trip to Hawaii for the Venus transit, which was just spectacular (despite the clouds moving through for the middle two hours of the transit…) and to the annular eclipse last summer in Nevada, where I watched it with two good friends on top of a 9,000 foot peak…talk about a good western horizon!
When Janet passed away, we had to undertake a fairly rapid search, as the AAVSO was not ready for a sudden leadership transition and had no succession plan in place. Schedules were tight and the entire staff, Council and search committee had to work quickly to make progress. This is not the case this time around, as Arne has provided plenty of warning of his retirement and Mario took early steps to get a new process initiated.
Since the committee formed, we have had two teleconferences and some interaction by email. We have agreed upon some basic operating rules for how we will undertake the search, created a job description and duties document for the Director position with full input from the current AAVSO Council and discussed other issues related to the search. Given the timelines developed, we placed a job ad in the AAS Job Register as soon as possible, primarily as the position is slightly off-schedule for the normal faculty hiring process. We thought about advertising the position in the Chronicle of Higher Education and other locations, but costs were prohibitive and the pool of possible candidates likely far smaller.
Along with the publication of this article, we are also listing the job description and other information on the AAVSO website, which formally represents the start of our search process. Applications will be accepted until the end of September.
The search committee (listed on the AAVSO search committee web page) understands the AAVSO and has more than 100 years of combined experience interacting with, participating with, governing, advising and supporting the AAVSO. Having spoken with all of them and interacted with them over these past several months, I know we will be able to fulfill our charge, which is to provide to the Council a prioritized list of candidates from the pool of applicants, along with some discussion as to how we arrived at this prioritization. This list will allow the Council to make their selection and attempt to hire the next Director.
I want to make it clear to all that we are looking for the best possible leader for the AAVSO regardless of educational or experiential background. The job description is written specifically to include individuals without a Ph.D. It is perfectly reasonable that an individual without a graduate degree can run the AAVSO. However, it is equally true that an individual with a Ph.D., well connected to the professional community, will have a greater ability to bring the scientific value of the data gathered by the AAVSO observers forward. This, however, is not the only or exclusive criterion the search committee will use to review the candidates.
I liken the above situation to my initial situation applying to work at the AAS. The position I applied for required experience in public policy. It was abundantly clear that if someone had applied for the position (which was entitled 'Associate Director for Public Policy and Employment Policy Programs'…talk about needing a fold-out business card…!), who had worked extensively on Capitol Hill or at one of the funding agencies or with the White House, I would not stand as good a chance as a candidate, because I didn't have that experience. Luckily for me, the search committee then—as we are now—was looking for the best possible person for the position from the applicant pool and took into account my other experience and abilities. I managed to beat out some applicants who had more public policy experience in Washington, just as the right candidate for the AAVSO Director position could beat out someone with a Ph.D. in astronomy or a closely related field.
The search committee is categorically committed to an open search process without a pre-defined candidate in mind. We have all agreed on this point and we are proceeding with the search following this philosophy. We are seeking the best overall leader for the AAVSO as it transitions into the future. The next five to ten years will be a particularly interesting and challenging time to lead the AAVSO, making this search notable and important.
We will all do our best on your behalf and on behalf of the AAVSO.
*The original version of this page indicated 12 applicants,which was a typo on the part of the author. The number of on-time applications received was 13.

If I give chrome a file://LOCATION_OF_MP4, chrome will play the video no problem.
If I go to http://localhost:9080/relative-location.MP4, I get a black screen with player controls and a muted sound.

Doyle Dithers on Reform
An Open Letter to the Governor on Reform Doyle Dithers on Reform
Governor James Doyle
Room 115 East
Dear Governor Doyle:
Your call last Friday for prompt action on campaign reform legislation now that the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the McCain-Feingold law was most welcome and much needed, but the substance of the action you propose falls far short of what is required to even begin cleaning up Wisconsin politics and repairing our state's battered reputation for honorable government.
The reform you now call for also falls well short of what you were advocating during your campaign for governor. Responding to a Wisconsin Democracy Campaign candidate survey in August 2002, you pledged that you would "work to see that comprehensive campaign finance reforms are in place for the 2004 election and that new restrictions on campaign fundraising are in effect for the entire 2003-2004 legislative session." You further pledged to "publicly endorse, actively work to advance and sign into law comprehensive campaign finance reform legislation as strong or stronger than 2001 Senate Bill 104." This session's Senate Bill 12 certainly matches that description.
You specifically expressed support for reform legislation that provides public financing grants equal to at least 45% of new spending limits to candidates who agree to limit their spending as well as matching grants for candidates who agree to the spending limits but who face opponents who refuse to abide by the limits or who have independent campaigns run against them by special interest groups. You also endorsed a requirement that groups running "issue ads" within 60 days of an election referring to a clearly identified candidate disclose their identity and report both the amount spent and the source of money used to pay for the communications.
We are disappointed that you are now backtracking on your earlier support of comprehensive reform legislation. Even the limited reform you are proposing to deal with sham issue ads is significantly less ambitious than both your previous position on this matter and the new federal law supported by Congress and the president and upheld by the nation's highest court.
Your statement last Friday called for a law subjecting issue ads run within 30 days of an election to the same contribution limits and disclosure requirements as all other campaign ads. The McCain-Feingold law provides protection from the scourge of phony issue ads for a full 60 days before a general election. Why on earth would you want Wisconsin's law to be half as strong as the new federal law?
Recognizing that the federal law that bears his name is only a small first step toward reform, Senator Feingold already is seizing the opportunity to build on the court victory by lending his name to at least two new proposals for more comprehensive reforms. When Wisconsin's own senator and his bipartisan allies in Congress are forging ahead with an ambitious reform agenda - with, as he says, the "wind at our back" - the minimalist approach you recommend at the state level is particularly striking and embarrassing.
We agree with you that the Supreme Court's ruling gives Wisconsin the green light to move forward with reform legislation at the state level. But we believe the state's response to this historic opportunity should be bold, not tepid. The state should aim to enact legislation that makes Wisconsin a national leader in the area of campaign finance reform. The reform you propose for Wisconsin pales in comparison to even the modest beginning achieved at the federal level.
We hope you will rethink your position and provide leadership as governor that is consistent with the promises you made during your campaign. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss these issues further with you.
Mike McCabe


The IOU Code of Conduct requires the investor-owned utilities (IOUs) to be neutral about Community Choice. The Code spells out how this neutrality must be maintained, especially regarding the use of rate-payer funds. In early 2018, however, the IOUs filed a "Petition to Modify" the Code, to remove all restrictions against lobbying with rate-payer funds. This paper explains the Code's background, the IOUs' track record of compliance, and the CPUC's history of enforcement. We argue that the Code of Conduct should not be gutted but maintained, enforced and strengthened.


Kulgam, July 5 : National Conference General Secretary Haji Ali Muhammad Sagar on Thursday said persecution and harassment of the youth was the main legacy of the fallen PDP-BJP Government and said the opportunistic alliance was squarely responsible for pushing the youth towards alienation and disenchantment. Addressing a commemorating convention organized to pay tributes to Late Party Leader and Former MLA Kulgam, Ghulam Nabi Dar, the NC General Secretary said the youth of the State were the primary victims of the PDP-BJP Government as they were robbed of their sense of dignity and their right to a peaceful, prosperous existence.
"The youth have been pushed into a corner due to the anti-youth, anti-people policies of the fallen PDP-BJP Government. It is because of the previous Government's policies that there exists an unprecedented trust deficit in the youth of the State who have been lied to and betrayed by the PDP. The party sought their support on various planks and promises and ended up breaking every single promise it made. The psychological effect of this deceit has been disastrous and has led to a situation today where even educated, employed youth are choosing the path of armed militancy", The NC General Secretary said.
The NC General Secretary, while paying glowing tributes to Late Party Leader and Former MLA Kulgam, Ghulam Nabi Dar said that Late Dar Sahab's legacy was that of selfless service and diligence in being at the disposal of his people. "Late Dar Sahab was a thorough gentleman, an exemplary people's representative and a man of principles. His loyalty to the party will be remembered for ages to come and in his tragic demise the party lost a great leader and his people lost an honest and sincere voice", the NC General Secretary added.
Various Senior Leaders of the Party including Provincial President Nasir Aslam Wani, State Secretary Sakina Ittoo, South Zone President Dr. Bashir Ahmed Veeri, Senior Leader Peerzada Ahmed Shah, Legislators Altaf Ahmed Kuloo, Abdul Majeed Bhat (Larmi), District President Shopian Showkat Hussain Ganai, Provincial Spokesperson Ian Nabi Dar, Dr. Muhammad Shafi, Shabir Ahmed Kullay besides others also addressed the commemorative convention and paid glowing tributes to Late Ghulam Nabi Dar.
Addressing the convention the NC Leaders said Late Ghulam Nabi Dar's legacy was a source of inspiration to them and the party workers and said the best tributes to him would be to serve the people, especially the voiceless and underprivileged with renewed diligence and sincerity.


Lady Portia here. It is seldom I come through for these channelings because my energy works to infuse projects with the necessary finesse and refinement. For example, on a mathematical formula, there may be a missing quotient or process which I can provide: I am a cosmic chemist if you will for I work with components and specific ratios.
I had a lab in France which was well funded. I worked side by side between Lord St. Germain and his dear friend Casanova who was at the time plagued with human drama but nonetheless quite effective.
What is important here today is the general mixture of all things from the sub-atomic to the galactic. For as we all know, all elements must show up in the correct proportions. We can make all technologies needed to be seeded for the overnight salvation of Mother Earth. Tune in for specifics such as 1) converting sea water to drinking water and 2) burning off all toxicity. There is a way to dissipate anything toxic through holy purification fire. The I AM FIRE.
This is not a concept. This in not an etheric thought. This is a true purifying force, it is just not visible from your dimensional perspective.
Light violet fires everywhere with the intention of engulfing all toxicity on the planet. All toxicity is a big subject for it includes environmental, emotional, mental, galactic and personal.
Where do you think the word firewall comes from? The violet flame is the Original Firewall of Protection, although it does so much more. It is the true alchemical blast needed for the planet today. Let us set off some Violet Flame Bombs everywhere.
Use Positive Imagination for all you desire and let all desires be in line with the cosmic good. Serve and remember. Remember and serve. Positive Imagination is alchemy: one of the highest forms for it is the true manifester, using the most effective energy, that of thought form. Here is where mastery can come in.
Yes! This is your alchemical thought of the day. How much Positive Imagination can you use?
I appeared recently in New Orleans in the salon of Gertrude Stein. We did much to shift the planet by our 'thinking' and our seeding of thought forms through the vehicle of creativity and artistic ventures. That was one of the beginning 'think tanks' of using the intelligent thought form to seed consciousness with direct manifestation through the mixture of science and the arts. Magellan, DeLeon and many other adventurer/explorers were channeled through. Madam Blavatsky came too. This was a pocket of masters in the 21st century. St. Germain, Casanova, Gertrude, Madam B and her lover Louis Pasteur, Tesla: all renegades with Positive Imagination armed with downloaded scientific technology. You have yet to see all these seeds sprout. For now, be well and thrive in your Positive Imagination, the Ultimate Alchemy.
This alchemy was not present until now because human DNA and the collective consciousness had to rise to a certain level. That level has been achieved so this divine alchemy is now activated. The mixture has not been correct til now of Positive Imagination, DNA upgrading and the collapse of time that 4D consciousness (instant manifestation) is now providing.

Backing Trump Impeachment Will Be A Disaster For Democrats
John W Denton
Daily DC Insider
In an on-air interview with local public radio, Democrat Representative Cindy Axne of Iowa admitted that backing impeachment of President Trump is "absolutely a disaster."
Though Axne claims she will support the impeachment inquiry, at least she's honest about the political implications for Democrats if they try to oust Trump.
Axne represents a battleground district where Trump soundly defeated Clinton in 2016. Add in the fact that she's a freshman representative, and Axne is particularly vulnerable going into the 2020 election.
While certainly a minority, more Democrats are speaking up about the possible political fallout for their party if they continue to push impeachment.
Too many Democrats in congress will have to defend their actions in districts that could very well vote for Trump in 2020. It's almost political suicide!
Clinton Calls For More Electable Democratic Candidates
In an unusual about-face, Hillary Clinton is telling Democrats to support a moderate candidate than can win the electoral college.
For the past two years, Clinton has criticized the electoral college system, supporting the idea of doing away with the process in favor of a popular vote for presidential elections.
Clinton's comments seem to hint at DNC leadership growing concerned with the current set of Democratic candidates.
Many pundits have criticized the far-left turn that many of the Democrat candidates have taken, with Elizabeth Warren recently spooking economists and Wall Street experts with her policy stances.
Do you think the Democrats will listen to Clinton's advice or continue to field candidates that are tone-deaf to the needs of average Americans?
Spin Control
Democrats Cherry-Picking Transcript Information
Democrats continue to selectively release transcript information from their impeachment inquiry despite voting to begin opening up the process to the public.
Special Envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker, for example, has some interesting things to say about the infamous Ukraine phone call.
Buried in the testimony transcripts, Volker made it clear that there was no connection between the phone call and Trump refusing to meet with Ukraine's president unless an investigation on the Bidens happened.
Volker also stated that the security hold on aid to Ukraine was insignificant and had nothing to do with any quid pro quo request from the president.
None of this, however, was submitted to the media by the Democrats.
The Local Conservative will continue to examine the transcripts to bring you the truth of what's happening in the inquiry. Stay tuned!
Everyday America
Nurse Adopts Patient So He Can Get Heart Transplant
An ICU nurse in Georgia adopted a 27-year-old man so he would become eligible for a heart transplant.
Jonathan Pinkard collapsed at work one day and was rushed to the ER. Doctors determined that his heart was failing and he would need a transplant.
Pinkard, however, was not eligible for the procedure because he had no family or support network.
One of his nurses, Lori Wood, offered to become Pinkard's legal guardian so that he would receive the life-saving procedure.
Pinkard agreed, and Wood officially adopted him.
There are still good people out there who genuinely care!

How was this scene from The Office done?
In the show The Office, especially this scene, how did it work out the way it is? What I mean is the entire set of dialogues that Michael & Dwight say after the watermelon falls on the car is dependent on whether the watermelon hits the car or not.
So, was this scene improvised? Or was some CGI involved in making the melon fall on the car? Or multiple scripts were made and a certain one had to be followed depending on the course of the melon? Or were a lot of takes done and the shot which contained the right one was taken (this seems absurd because keeping throwing watermelons until it hits the car is not economical in my understanding)?
The core element of this question is that the dialogues are dependent on the falling of the melon. The melon falling towards the edge of the trampoline and then going towards the car seems like a thing of chance, hence uncontrollable. And I assume any film/show maker would want things controlled. Hence, the question, what was the trick here (if any)?.

Few takes, lots of practice. It's economical. They could buy thousands of watermelons. And it would be cheaper than the pay of the person who had to clean after each try. – SZCZERZO KŁY Nov 17 '20 at 9:40
Mashable wrote an article based on what was shared by Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey in episode 49 of their Office Ladies podcast:
12 watermelons were purchased for the trampoline test scene, and the first 10 or 11 takes didn't go well, so Daniels thought they'd have to use a CGI watermelon in the end.
Miraculously, a watermelon finally bounced off the trampoline and onto the Chrysler 300 in the parking lot. The melon reportedly dented the roof and broke the electric moon roof, which cost the production team $6,500 to fix.
From the transcript of the episode (the "Kent" they're referring to at the start is Kent Zbornak, a producer on The Office):
JENNA FISCHER [00:46:58] Yes. I also had a question about the watermelons.
ANGELA KINSEY [00:47:03] Oh OK.
JENNA FISCHER [00:47:04] And I was not alone. Lauren Brightwell, Meghan Keall, Ciara Begley, Phoebe Bono and Maddie McKee all wanted to know, "How many watermelons were used for the trampoline test scene"?
ANGELA KINSEY [00:47:18] How many?
JENNA FISCHER [00:47:19] Kent told me that we purchased 12 watermelons. But around take 10, Kent said to Harold Ramis, I think we're going to need to CGI the watermelon thing because none of the watermelons that he was throwing off the roof were coming anywhere close to hitting the car.
ANGELA KINSEY [00:47:35] Yeah. They talk about it in the commentary that they, they weren't getting it until take number 11.
JENNA FISCHER [00:47:42] Oh, Kent said it was the last watermelon that it was take 12.
ANGELA KINSEY [00:47:46] Oh, Harold-.
JENNA FISCHER [00:47:47] Did they say it was?
ANGELA KINSEY [00:47:47] Harold Ramis said it was take number 11.
JENNA FISCHER [00:47:51] Oh well. So guys, it was either take 11 or 12. I guess by some miracle it landed on the trampoline and it hit the car perfectly.
ANGELA KINSEY [00:48:00] And I feel like Steve and Rainn's expression like is real because they were like, "Oh, my god, we finally did it".
They return to discussing the scene a little while later:
JENNA FISCHER [00:50:49] So fun. Well, I have some more news about the scene before we move on.
ANGELA KINSEY [00:50:53] OK.
JENNA FISCHER [00:50:54] The car that they hit was a rental. It was a Chrysler 300 picture car. Guess how much money it costs them to do this gag?
ANGELA KINSEY [00:51:04] Oh, my gosh. I don't know, how much?
JENNA FISCHER [00:51:07] They dented the roof and they broke the electric moon roof of the car.
ANGELA KINSEY [00:51:12] From that one watermelon?
JENNA FISCHER [00:51:14] Yeah. It cost 6500 dollars to fix it.
Note that the timings in the transcript don't seem to correspond with the podcast as presented online. I assume that advertisements etc. have padded the episode. The actual time where this section starts is approximately 50:30.

I pity the poor props team… "Cut. Reset." followed by half an hour of cleaning down the mess from the last take & making everything look shiny & new again. They do it without complaint, of course, but it's often quite a task. I remember hours of them cleaning up breakaway [sugar-glass] glasses for a big Russian drinking scene, complete with throwing them at the floor each take… what a sticky mess that makes, & how far the shards can travel. – Tetsujin Nov 17 '20 at 11:35
The other thing, of course, is that the subsequent scene on the rooftop doesn't have to have taken place even on the same day [presumably it was , but it didn't have to be].. Once they got the money shot, we never see another pan shot to the car, only one cut-away. The dialog after the stunt, therefore, is totally independent of the stunt shot itself. Sound fx cover the join - car alarm going off etc. – Tetsujin Nov 17 '20 at 11:40
@Tetsujin There is a talking head interview with one of the other characters outside, and in the background you can see the car with watermelon parts on the top of its roof. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean that it was done on the same day, but on the other hand why even bother to spend time on such a sight gag that most of the audience will miss unless the car is already there? – BCdotWEB Nov 17 '20 at 11:53
I just meant for purposes of the OP's question - was it improv or a split script depending on the outcome? No, it was a single script, many takes to get it right, then the rest of the scene they could just take their time over. The two are [in shooting script terms] unconnected. – Tetsujin Nov 17 '20 at 12:08

Man dies after 'medical episode' as he tried to get ATV unstuck
The 71-year-old from Pine River died at the scene.
Adam Uren
All Terrain Vehicle Association of Minnesota, Facebook
A 71-year-old man has died after suffering a "medical episode" as he tried to get his ATV unstuck on a trail in northern Minnesota.
The incident was called in at 5:37 p.m. Wednesday, when the Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office received a report of a medical situation on a remote trail in the Stewart Lake area.
The caller said he was helping the victim, identified as 71-year-old David Zvorak, of Pine River, to get his ATV unstuck, when he appeared to suffer a medical episode and fell to the ground unconscious.
Responders had a difficult time finding Zvorak and the caller, with several becoming stuck on the trails themselves.
Eventually a DNR officer found them and attempted lifesaving efforts, before deputies and paramedics assisted.
But while lifesaving efforts continued, Zvorak was ultimately pronounced dead at the scene.
"This was a difficult rescue situation due to the very remote area and the conditions of the trails," said Crow Wing County Sheriff Scott Goddard. "I want to thank all agencies and personnel involved for assisting on the tragic event."

Double points cheapens F1 says Newey
Date: 19th February 2014 at 11:23am
Red Bull chief technical officer Adrian Newey has condemned F1 plans for double points at the final race of the season.
Ecclestone and the FIA announced the idea of double points for the final race of the Formula One season towards the end of last year and the plan will be adopted in the forthcoming season as it has been approved by the Formula One strategy group.
This all means that the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, a track with no history or soul is, points wise, twice as important as winning the likes of the iconic races such as Belgium, Monaco or the British Grand Prix.
In fact with 24 points available for finishing fourth, that would be worth just one single point less than a race win during any other race weekend of the season. With second place taking 36 points and third taking 30.
The proposal was met with anger from those in and around the sport, most fans and those in the media branded the gimmick as too artificial, whilst quadruple Formula One World Champion Sebastian Vettel said that idea was absurd and believed that drivers, fans and experts were 'horrified'.
Since mid-December on VitalF1.com we have been running the front page poll: Double points for the final race of 2014?
94% of our readers branded the plan as stupid, 5% didn't care and 1% thought it was a positive step.
Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone however would like to see the double points plan extended to three races as it would extend the interest in the Formula One drivers and constructors championships for longer. However his plan has failed to receive much support.
In the media, very few have spoken about the idea in a positive light, Sky Sports pundit Damon Hill being the only notable person to back the plans.
However Newey shares the view of his quadruple Formula One World Champion.
'It's a personal view, but I'm not a fan of it at all, To me it just seems very artificial that third place [in Abu Dhabi] will now be worth more than first place at Monaco or another race. he told Autosport.
'It's a shame that in the drive to try to keep the championship alive to the very last race you take this artificial route to it. [It] just seems to me to be cheapening the sport.
'It makes it just a little bit WWF to me.'
Despite the widespread condemnation from people inside and outside the sport, Ecclestone would like to extend the double points plan to incorporate the final three races of the season.
He told CNN: "The reason is simple – with the calendar as it is the championship could be over by September and if there's another three races to go and a car that looks like it could win easy now – (the rival cars) if they win two or three races at the end, could win the championship (instead).
"Why should it devalue six races before the end? People will be following like hell to see who's there at the end of the races. Win the last three and you can win the championship. It's a whole different scenario."
Ecclestone's plan will need unanimous backing from the teams to get approval from FIA president Jean Todt, which reportedly appears vastly unlikely.


New Evidence that Bigfoot are chewing on Deer.
In an article titled, "College Instructor presents conclusive scientific proof of Bigfoot at research conference" The Suburban Times reports that a college instructor, Mitchel N. Townsend, believes he has conclusive scientific proof of bigfoot has been chewing on deer bones, or more specifically there is evidence of mastication on ungulates by an unclassified Hominin.
Dr. Jeff Meldrum, is quick to to point out that the term "conclusive" is not entirely accurate as he shared the link to the article today on his Facebook Page.
The article reports how deer bones offer clues to how a bigfoot may have been bone-chewing on the deer population near Mount St. Helens.
Townsend and one of his former students found and analyzed three different prey bone assemblages around Mount St. Helens. He says that the tooth marks imprinted upon the bones were made by an 8'8" tall Hominin that left 16" foot prints and other forensic and behavioral information that Townsend was able to situate in current scientific research.
You can read the abstract from Mr. Townsend's paper below followed by ta link to his complete paper.
We present a Forensic Biotic Taphonomy Dentition Signature field study of prey bone assemblage modifications from three different geographically separated deposition sites located in the immediate vicinity of Mount St. Helen's, in Washington State. The bones assemblages are characterized as ungulate post mortem remains. Experimental hominin chewing studies have demonstrated close parallels with similar mastication evidence recovered from several Pleistocene and Holocene archeological bone assemblages. Recognition and understanding of Rib/Bone Peeling as a diagnostic signature of hominin mastication behavior aids greatly in the identification and classification of both pre-archeological and contemporary post mortem bone assemblages. We present diagnostic evidence that supports manual and oral peeling of cortical layers of ungulate ribs as taphonomically diagnostic hominin mastication behavior. The repetitive presence of these recognized diagnostic characteristics across multiple sites and evolutionary time frames enables hominin assignment with increasingly higher degrees of reliability.
This is a neat story, Guy,and seems like solid research. I heard Townsend on Coast to Coast and he's reasonably convincing. I can't remember what his position was on recoverable DNA, but I suppose it must have been too degraded to be evident, right?

Paul Eduard Maximilian Bürde (1819 or 28 November 1830; – 23 May 1874) was a German painter and illustrator.

Life
Born in Upper Silesia, Bürde was the fifth child of Ernst Bürde (1794-1869) and his wife Pauline, née Rambach (1798-1855). He grew up in Rosniontau. His uncle was the Berlin academy professor and animal painter Friedrich Leopold Bürde (1792-1849), husband of the singer and pianist Jeanette Milder-Bürde (b. 1799). A further uncle was the building councillor working for Karl Friedrich Schinkel  (1796-1865), his daughter-in-law, the singer Jenny Bürde-Ney (1824-1886), portrayed by Paul Bürde. Bürde's grandfather was the poet and court councillor Samuel Gottlieb Bürde (1753–1831). On 28 November 1856 he married his cousin Katarina (1837-1917), the daughter of his uncle Georg Heinrich.

At the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin he made a portrait of his teacher Eduard Daege. Well known is his picture Diskussion im Frankfurt Parliament, in which Bürde as an eyewitness of the parliamentary sessions portrayed many important politicians of the German revolutions of 1848-1849. Another well-known picture is Homage to Kaiser Wilhelm I. (1871), by which William I, German Emperor was put in a row with Martin Luther, Frederick the Great and Field Marshal Blücher because of the foundation of the German Empire and thus painterly reproduced the Borussian historiography of Heinrich von Treitschke. (German Historical Institute Washington DC), retrieved 14 September 2020. In Berlin, Bürde was active until his death as genre painting and portrait painter of Berlin personalities as well as illustrator of the magazine Die Gartenlaube. The painter Ludwig Pietsch also highlighted Bürde as a "painter of watercolour pictures of official events at the royal court and in the royal family".

Thinking Outside (and Inside) the Box
Inside a Steelcase experiment with an internal gig economy.
Jennifer Kirby is passionate about improving the work experience for nursing mothers. As a regional applications consultant, Kirby designs spaces for a living, so it seemed natural to turn her passion into a side project redesigning mothers' rooms for Steelcase and her clients.
"We started at a high level, thinking of how we might support the family unit and how moms and dads are impacted — postures that are more desirable, access to power, dimmable lighting and so much more," says Kirby, who works out of the Metro DC area in the mid-Atlantic region. "Ultimately, it was about good design principles and how to empower architects and design professionals to have conversations to understand and design better environments."
Because this project wasn't part of their day jobs, Kirby's team was struggling to find the time to finish. That was when she heard about the experimental Steelcase program called Loop. She wondered if it was an opportunity to bring in fresh eyes and energy to complete the project.
"Loop is one way to allow for cross-functional projects to occur. Projects that help employees share their crafts and passions, develop new skills and learn about different areas of the business. Projects that also advance the growth of our business. The magic is in presenting those opportunities more broadly," says Jill Dark, director of leadership and organizational transformation, Steelcase.
Loop is dubbed a talent fluidity experiment. Its goal is to accelerate company and individual growth by using an algorithm to match participants' skills with opportunities posted by project owners. Ideally, Loop helps participants gain better cross-functional literacy in the process.
"Our hope is to leverage our internal gig economy and create a self-sustaining marketplace."
Jill Darkdirector of leadership and organizational transformation, Steelcase
We believe this is one way to increase development and engagement, build stronger networks and begin to shift our mindset from functionally owned talent to organizationally shared talent," Dark says.
For project owners like Kirby, the program allowed her to pool resources from the larger organization, outside her team.
"I loved finding and connecting with talent from different facets of our business that I'd normally never rub elbows with. There was an excitement about working on something outside the norm – to be in areas on the fringe where it's uncomfortable and you're learning. That was motivating, inspiring and oh-so cool," she says.
With Loop, Kirby's team had six new faces from around the world.
"We were a team of misfit bandits, cross-functional and across time zones, with everybody already crunched for time," she says.
One of the challenges they faced was juggling different schedules. Some participants were available during their lunch breaks while others had more flexibility. Despite different expectations at the outset, Kirby's team was able to come together and advance their cause.
Within six months, they'd conducted more quantitative and qualitative research. They validated their ideas with customers and design professionals and created tools to help people understand the needs of nursing moms at work. They also populated their own thought-starters and developed and iterated prototypes of mothers' rooms. In addition to space, their work also impacted Steelcase by influencing policies around maternity and paternity leave and what space and equipment is offered to employees and visitors.
Project participants had a warm reaction to the experiment.
"So many people told me, 'This is exactly what I needed. I made serendipitous connections, expanded my network and had an opportunity to work on something I was really interested in.'"
Nadia Johnsonsenior consultant for strategic workforce architecture and organizational transformation, Steelcase
What interested Lavina Mahbubani, senior engineer of customer product data at Steelcase, to participate in Loop was the program's goal of accelerating employee growth through experimental learning.
"When I signed up, I got a sense of awe. It seemed like an enriching experience. I wanted to enhance my skills, explore different areas of the business, and build up my confidence by interacting with a larger group of people beyond demographic boundaries," she says.
Initially, she was matched to seven projects and chose three.
"All three projects were different. I learned more about tools in my region that make processes leaner and gained new perspectives working with people from completely different backgrounds. My network grew. I learned to think outside of the box and come out of my comfort zone," Mahbubani says.
With her manager's full support, Mahbubani was able to spend 2 hours each week on the Loop projects while also tackling her day-to-day work.
"He was very encouraging and tried to find ways to help me wherever possible while also learning something new himself. He introduced me to some new tools and helped me with my presentations," she says. She's excited to participate in the future and has encouraged her coworkers to do the same.
Dark and Johnson hope that the program will continue to spread and be embraced across the organization.
"At Steelcase, our employees are hungry for learning experiences, ask for development and are willing to try something new. For managers, Loop gives the opportunity to meet that demand with just a little encouragement to participate and apply the learning," says Dark.
Overall, it was clear to Dark that project owners and participants wanted exposure to different networks and teams. They noticed that the majority of participants sought out opportunities outside of their day-to-day work area, and they were motivated to work on projects aligned with their interests more often than those aligned with their skills.
Johnson says the Loop team is currently preparing for a design sprint to develop a new matching methodology to improve the Loop experience for participants and project owners.
Says Kirby, "This little project gave me a sense of purpose in helping the greater good and increasing awareness of a need. Maybe, if I spread that meaning by involving others on a fringe project that is outside their lane, they'll grow and encourage others, and it'll become contagious and soon we'll have passionate people all over the world, eager to solve problems that are right in front of us. That would be the coolest thing."

"We work hard to create an equitable and inspiring place to work, and it's a delight to be recognized for our efforts," said Jim Keane, Steelcase President and CEO.

"if you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'." – John Lennon
Charles Edward Anderson Berry died on March 18, 2017 at the age of 90. Born in 1926, he grew up in a middle class, north Saint Louis neighborhood, taking up music at an early age, giving his first public performance at fifteen. He loved listening to T-Bone Walker and hits like "Bobby Sox Blues" (1946), "Call It Stormy Monday" (1947) and "West Side Baby" (1948) served as Berry's inspiration for both the fledgling musician's guitar playing and performance style.
"… he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell…"
In the early 1950's, Berry was playing gigs to supplement his income. On New Year's Eve 1952, he got a call from pianist Johnnie Johnson, whose sax player, Alvin Bennett, had just had a stroke, leaving Johnson's trio in immediate need of a third musician. Because of Berry's relative inexperience in the St. Louis music scene, Johnson figured it likely the guitar wouldn't have a New Year's Eve gig. And while Berry was certainly not the most proficient guitarist, he did bring his vocal talents as well as a great deal of showmanship to the group. As things turned out, Bennett would not be able to play again because of his stroke and Berry was asked to become a permanent member of Johnson's group.
"… people passing by they would stop and say "oh my that little country boy could play…"
Berry's sense of showmanship, to give audiences a memorable time, made him realize the power of blending musical genres together to create a more powerful performance. While Johnson's trio played primarily R&B, ballads and blues, Berry recognized that country music was also incredibly popular, especially with people shelling out money for gigs. Mixing in country tunes into the group's playlist made them even more popular and mixing styles in the songs themselves, such as singing a Muddy Waters' song in the style of Nat King Cole, got them bookings.
Meeting Waters in Chicago in 1955, Berry was introduced to Leonard Chess of Chess Records, who signed Berry as a solo artist, with Johnson and Ebby Hardy (the trio's drummer) becoming Berry's band. While Berry had thought Chess would hire him as a blues artist, the producer had other plans. With rock and roll and country squeezing out the R & B market, Chess had Berry record "Maybellene," the group's take on Western swing star Bob Willis' "Ida Red" and the resulting single hit #1 on the R & B charts and #5 on the "Billboard Best Sellers in Stores" list.
"Chuck was my man. He was the one who made me say 'I want to play guitar…'" – Keith Richards
"If you don't know every Chuck Berry lick, you can't play rock guitar." – Ted Nugent
The following years saw Berry become an International sensation, churning out songs like "Roll Over Beethoven" and "Too Much Monkey Business" in 1956 and then "School Days" and "Rock and Roll Music" in 1957 and "Sweet Little Sixteen" in January, 1958.
His influence on both his peers (Carl Perkins was amazed that Berry knew as many country songs as Perkins did) and the musicians that followed in undeniable. His songs have been covered by just about every group and artist you can think of. His "Beautiful Delilah" opens the Kinks' self-titled debut album and if you were to list everyone who's covered either "Roll Over Beethoven," " Rock and Roll Music," or "Johnnie B. Goode," or any of his other songs, you'd be seeing names like Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Status Quo, The Beatles, Iron Maiden, Leon Russell, The Rolling Stones, Mountain, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Who, Gene Vincent, Uriah Heep, Electric Light Orchestra, Johnny Rivers, The Byrds, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, John Denver, Green Day, Living Colour, Uncle Tupelo, The Stray Cats, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bon Jovi, The Beach Boys, Buddy Holly, Slade, Bill Haley and the Comets, Prince, B. B. King, Peter Tosh, Aerosmith, The Grateful Dead, Carlos Santana, Phish and the Sex Pistols, just to name (literally) a few.
"…tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling and the poor boy's on the line…"
Fittingly, Berry was one of the first musicians inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and, along with Pete Townshend, was part of the groundbreaking ceremony held on June 7, 1993.
"…long as she's got a dime the music won't never stop…"


One of the interesting things that I figured out while learning to cook and count calories and protein is that you can get ground beef with the same fat percentage as most ground turkey. In our house that made a very happy husband.
My husband just doesn't love ground turkey he will eat it for me, but if we were having it all the time I think he would have gone off the deep end. I then found extra lean ground beef. Now the key is look at the fat percentage on the packaging. You want 93% fat free, it will cost more, but is worth it!
We switched from our large batch meals for the week being just soups and stews to include meatballs. I have a few meatball recipes that my family enjoys but I wanted to try something new and fun. This recipe has a real kick to it, so if you don't like it spicy then bring down the Montreal Seasoning down to 1 tablespoon!

Q: Search by answers Maybe this topic has already been discussed here, but I couldn't find an answer to it.
I remember having read answers which talked about a specific issue (which was not necessarily closely related  to the question), but I don't know how to get to those answers.
Would it be possible to set up a way to make research for the expressions used in answers? Sort of like some dictionaries work. For instance, I am looking for answers where the expression "basic instinct" has been used. Could a search show me all answers where that expression has been used?

A: Use one of the advanced search operators, is:a or is:answer. Searching for is:a "basic instinct" gives answers only:

Load their lips.
We use a term in the car business for new salespeople called "Load your lips." Because negotiating and overcoming objections has so many different variations, it would be impossible for me to teach it all in a classroom before setting them loose as a salesperson.
So instead, we do in-the-moment training. Because the salesperson is new, they don't fully know how to overcome an objection or negotiate, so when their customer says something unfamiliar, they'll come back to me and I'll load their lips.
As a sales manager, I can load 24 years of knowledge and experience onto the lips of the salesperson I am working with.
For instance, a salesperson will come to me and say, "This is what the customer is telling me," and I'll load their lips on how to not only overcome the objection but also give them multiple scenarios in which to steer the sale.
What's good about loading the lips is it gives the salesperson confidence because instead of me doing it for them, I equipped them to handle it themselves and it gives them the ability also to index it for future cases.
Just like a manager loads the lips of salespeople, so too does a leader load the lips of the people who follow him.
Seth Godin writes,
"People don't believe what you tell them. They barely believe what you show them. They often believe what their friends tell them and they always believe what they tell themselves. Leaders give them stories they can tell themselves about future and change."
As a leader, you have to constantly load their lips about change and a better future, so that when things go off-kilter and their narrative changes to lack and defeat, you load their lips again with change and a better lot.
There may not be a customer in front of them, but the one they're negotiating with is LIFE.
When their narrative changes to "I can't," you load them up with, "Yes, you can. You can do this."
When the narrative changes to, "It's not fair," you load their lips to, "New game, new strategy. It's not always going to be fair. The ball is not always going to bounce your way. Keep going anyway."
When the narrative changes to "It's too hard, " load their lips to, "It's supposed to be hard. Anything worthwhile is hard. Hard times are rich with opportunities. Most people couldn't handle it and bailed out, but you're still standing in the tension and moving forward despite what gets thrown at you. Look at how far you've come and where you are heading."
You've got to keep the lips of your people full because they're not always going to be with you. When they're not, make sure their lips are so full that when things get complicated, when it seems unfair, and it looks like they can't go any further, their lips are dripping with change, and they keep soldiering on.
This is how future leaders are created. Initially, you loaded their lips. Then they learned how to load their own lips, and eventually, they began to teach it to others.
I'm pulling for you.
Remember, the greatest sale you'll ever make is selling you on you.

Federico Luna Peralta (Puno, 1853-Génova, 1927), fue un empresario y político peruano. Fue presidente del Consejo de Ministros y ministro de Gobierno y Policía, en el gobierno de Guillermo Billinghurst (1913).

Biografía

Nació en Puno. Hijo de Federico Luna Aranibar y Ruperta Peralta. Hermano del coronel-abogado Miguel Emilio Luna, uno de los héroes peruanos caídos en la batalla de Huamachuco. Forma parte de la familia Luna de la provincia de Acomayo que tuvo una gran participación en la política de esa provincia, el departamento del Cusco y el Perú. Así, su abuelo José Mariano Luna fue diputado por la provincia de Acomayo durante la Convención Nacional de 1833, su tío José Emilio Luna fue diputado por Acomayo entre 1868 a 1876 y senador por el departamento del Cusco en 1895, su otro tío Mauricio Luna fue diputado por Acomayo entre 1889 a 1894 y su padre y su medio hermano Federico Luna Aranibar fue miembro de la Congreso Constituyente de 1867, diputado por la provincia de Canchis entre 1868 y 1876 y senador por el departamento de Apurímac de 1879 a 1881.

De oficio comerciante, se instaló en Lima hacia 1878.

En 1879 fue elegido diputado suplente por la provincia de Canas, departamento del Cusco.

Durante la Guerra del Pacífico, estuvo presente en Lima durante la defensa de la ciudad formando parte del batallón 33 de la Reserva. Ocupada la capital peruana por los chilenos, se contó entre los 114 que integraron la Junta de Notables que eligió como Presidente de la República al doctor Francisco García Calderón, el 22 de febrero de 1881, inaugurándose el llamado gobierno de La Magdalena. Durante la resistencia que encabezó el general Andrés A. Cáceres en la sierra, fue miembro del Comité de Ayuda a la Resistencia, en Lima.

Finalizada la guerra, se unió a Andrés Avelino Cáceres en su enfrentamiento a Miguel Iglesias en la guerra civil de 1884 convirtiéndose en 1885 en secretario pólitico de Cáceres. Luego de la guerra civil, en 1886 fue elegido nuevamente como diputado suplente esta vez por la provincia de Paucartambo.En 1893, durante su gestión, llegó a formar parte de la mesa directiva de la Cámara de Diputados durante la presidencia de Mariano Valcárcel como prosecretario, compartiendo función con el diputado cusqueño Eliseo Araujo. Fue reelegido en 1889 pero como diputado por la provincia de Sandia.

Tras el triunfo de Nicolás de Piérola en la guerra civil de 1894, se retiró momentáneamente de la vida política. En 1900 fue nombrado director del Ferrocarril Urbano, en 1907 gerente de la Compañía Nacional del Tranvía Eléctrico, entre 1912 y 1913 Director General de Correos y Telégrafos.

Durante el gobierno de Guillermo Billinghurst, fue nombrado Presidente del Consejo de Ministros y Ministro de Gobierno y Policía, cargos que ejerció del 24 de febrero a 17 de junio de 1913. Durante su periodo, se realizaron las elecciones del nuevo tercio parlamentario. Varios procesos fueron anulados por la Corte Suprema, por lo que los billinghuristas no pudieron aumentar el número de sus parlamentarios, lo que fue un serio revés para el gobierno, que tenía que batallar duramente con la oposición en el Congreso. Billinghurst decidió tomar una nueva orientación política y eligió nuevo jefe del gabinete a Aurelio Sousa y Matute, prominente miembro del Partido Demócrata o pierolista.

Fue también miembro de la junta directiva del partido Unión Cívica, que fundara Mariano Nicolás Valcárcel.

Murió en Génova, Italia en 1927.

Immune Cells We Thought Were 'Useless' Are Actually a Weapon Against Infections Like HIV
PETER DOCKRILL
A class of self-reactive immune cells long considered useless or even dangerous to our health, could actually be a kind of secret weapon - lying in wait inside our bodies to fight off dangerous infections.
Using mice, researchers in Australia have discovered that so-called 'silenced' B cells – lymphocytes that are seemingly dormant, but which when activated can harm our own bodies in autoimmune conditions – can be 'redeemed' to attack harmful microbes our immune systems otherwise struggle to fight off.
"The big question about these cells has been why they are there at all, and in such large numbers," explains immunogenomics researcher Chris Goodnow from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research.
"Why does the body keep these cells, whose self binding antibodies pose a genuine risk to health, instead of destroying them completely, as we once thought?"
It now looks like we have an answer. Goodnow, who 30 years ago helped discover these silenced, self-reactive B cells, says the genetic machinery that makes the cells produce antibodies to attack our body's own tissues can be adapted to instead combat foreign infections.
What's so exciting here is that the adaptation essentially represents a new kind of immunity we never knew about.
This finding could pave the way to discovering new vaccines to fight infections like HIV and campylobacter, which hide from our immune systems by effectively mimicking our own biological material.
"This completely changes everyone's thinking about how the immune system works – and it solves this problem of telling the difference between invaders and self," Goodnow told The Australian Financial Review.
"The idea that you could start with a bad antibody and make it good just hasn't been in anyone's lexicon."
The findings, which so far have been demonstrated in a mouse model, show how DNA mutations of antibody genes in germinal centres – where B cells activate during immune response – reprogram these self-reactive antibodies, making them stop binding to mouse tissue, and increasing their binding capacity to foreign invaders by up to 5,000 times.
"We've shown that these silenced cells do have a crucial purpose," says first author of the study, Deborah Burnett, in a press release.
"Far from 'clogging up' the immune system for no good reason, they're providing weapons to fight off invaders whose 'wolf in sheep's clothing' tactics make it almost impossible for the other cells of the immune system to fight them."
Now that we know about how this hypermutation in the germinal centre can take place, the researchers are hopeful it could one day lead to new kinds of treatments for dangerous human infections, which are able to evade and elude our bodies' conventional immune responses.
"The idea that self-reactive cells can contribute to immunity through germinal centre redemption may be particularly important in responses to pathogens that cloak themselves in host antigens to avoid immunity," explain immunologists Ervin E. Kara and Michel C. Nussenzweig from The Rockefeller University, in a commentary on the findings.
"HIV-1 is one such pathogen."
It's a remarkable turnaround for a class of immune cells long mistaken for dangerous junk – and one which shows there's still so much we have to learn about what the immune system can do for us, and how its less than perfectly obvious mechanisms might be leveraged to do us good.
"We now know that every immune cell is precious when it comes to fighting invading microbes," says Goodnow, "and we've learned that the immune system recycles, conserves, and polishes up its 'bad apples' instead of throwing them away."
The findings are reported in Science.

What is a Dissecting Microscope? (with picture)
www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-dissecting-microscope.htm
A dissecting microscope is a microscope of a design which facilitates the magnification and examination of three dimensional objects, rather than samples prepared on slides. As the name implies, dissecting microscopes are commonly used in the dissection of specimens, but they have a range of other functions as well.
Difference Between Compound & Dissecting Microscopes ...
sciencing.com/difference-between-compound-dissecting-microscopes-5576645.html
Both types of microscope magnify an object by focusing light through prisms and lenses, directing it toward a specimen, but differences between these microscopes are significant. Most importantly, dissecting microscopes are for viewing the surface features of a specimen, whereas compound microscopes are designed to look through a specimen.

Imfine calls Nutella "trail crack".
For the next section of my walk I have decided to try eating only cold food. Some hikers don't carry cook sets to save on weight and time. I met a south bounder last week who was doing this and it brought the idea back to the forefront of my mind.
Another contributing factor is the fact that much of the food I have been cooking I no longer enjoy eating. I have a growing black list of food that I can no longer stomach. It includes the dreaded 'Pasta Roni', Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and now the brother of 'Pasta Roni', 'Rice a Roni' has been added to the list. I also struggle with peanuts on their own and I think by the end of this trip I will have eaten my last Snickers bar!
So tomorrow the experiment begins. I found a good supermarket here in Ashland where I was able to buy all sorts of things that don't require cooking - bars, packets of tuna, salami, bread, nutella, cheese, pop tarts, dried mango, dates, cookies, chips and the like. It will be interesting to see how it works out and if I will miss the ritual (and warmth) of cooked food. I won't be sending the cook set home just yet.

Made in Jax: Vodka drinker figures he could do better and Carve Craft Vodka is born
Paul Grey remembers well the first time he thought about opening his own distillery.
"It was August 2013," he said. "I was up late thinking about the whole craft brewing thing and how there were lots of craft breweries, but no distilleries."
He's a vodka drinker, so he picked vodka. But he didn't have any experience in either running a business or in making liquor. He'd worked in IT and then medical sales since graduating from college.
So he did some research and put together a basic business plan. Sam Durham, a friend, agreed to invest.
Grey, who just turned 30, bought a small still and practiced on his own. Basically, he was making moonshine. He went through a one-week program at a South Carolina distillery. He also bought a book about opening a distillery for less than $50,000 and became friends with the author, Thomas Germann, on Facebook.
"I bounced questions left and right," Grey said. "He was great."
Then he went looking for a place to set up his Carve Craft Vodka distillery.
Earlier that summer, the Florida Legislature had made things a little easier for craft distilleries. They could give tours, tastings, and, most important, sell directly to customers, though that was limited to two bottles per person per year.
"It was an uphill battle with the city," he said. "They wouldn't let us operate if we had tastings, no matter what place we were looking at. And who wants to spend money on lawyers?"
He finally settled on a 2,000-square-foot warehouse on Atlantic Boulevard. It's just for production: no tours, no tastings, no sales.
There he brings in liquor that's already been distilled. He distills it again - with a new professional still - filtering it through coconut carbon.
It comes out at 190 proof, or 95 percent alcohol. He has to slowly add enough filtered, de-ionized water to bring it down to 80 proof, or 40 percent alcohol.
If he's less than 79.7 proof or more than 80.3 proof, he's fined.
He bottles it all by hand.
"That's the only time I bring in people to help me," he said. "My cousin or friends."
He made his first batch a little over a year ago, but it took him awhile to get a distributor. Finally, Southern Wine & Spirits took him on.
"Being in Jacksonville, we get so much support from the city," he said. "Riverside Liquors was the first store; that's as mom and pop as it gets. They're great people."
He did get into nine ABC Fine Wine & Spirits stores and has talked to Total Wine & More.
About 80 percent is going into bars, restaurants and the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena. He sells about 700 bottles a month, but has the capacity to make that much in a week.
"A lot of it is just marketing, people not knowing what it is," he said. "We don't have the money for billboards or ads in newspapers. So we go into bars and make drinks for people."
It cost them about $100,000 to open the distillery. And money is still pretty tight.
"I make enough to get by, I suppose," Grey said. "Sometimes my brother comes to town and buys me groceries. I don't always know how I'll pay my rent each month.
"This whole entrepreneurial thing is crazy."
