2012 NFL Hall Of Fame Candidates: Kansas City Chiefs Will Shields, Willie Roaf Spotlight Current Chiefs Problems
Will Shields and Willie Roaf are among 17 candidates that will find out on Saturday whether or not they'll be inducted into this years' NFL Hall Of Fame class.
By BJ Kissel Feb 4, 2012, 8:01am CST
Share All sharing options for: 2012 NFL Hall Of Fame Candidates: Kansas City Chiefs Will Shields, Willie Roaf Spotlight Current Chiefs Problems
CANTON, OH - AUGUST 6: Fans wait to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame prior to the induction ceremony on August 6, 2011 in Canton, Ohio. (Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images)
You ask any Chiefs fan about the early 2000's and you'll hear stories of offensive prowess with Trent Green, Priest Holmes and Tony Gonzalez. You might even have a few that talk about the offensive line that was so clearly dominant that it didn't matter if it was Priest Holmes or some schmuck off the street that was running the ball. This was due largely in part to the beef up front.
It's no coincidence that the Chiefs led one of the best offenses in the entire NFL for several years while employing one of the greatest offensive lines that has ever played together. So when you look at 2 of the 17 candidates for induction into the Pro Football Hall Of Fame this weekend you'll notice two players from that offensive line, Will Shields and Willie Roaf. Shields and Roaf were two of the key pieces of what made that offense so special, and it's about time they get the spotlight put on them.
It's not a secret around Kansas City and to those who follow football closely to realize what kind of player Will Shields was for the Kansas City Chiefs. He was a 12-time Pro Bowl selection as he made it every year from 1995-2006. He was a nine-time All Pro and even won the "Walter Payton Man Of The Year" award in 2003 for his charity work with his foundation, "Will to Succeed" in the Kansas City area. He also never missed a game for the Kansas City Chiefs, ever.
Willie Roaf spent four seasons in Kansas City from 2002-2005 after being traded by the New Orleans Saints to the Chiefs after the 2001 season. Roaf made the Pro Bowl in each of his four seasons in Kansas City and tallied 11 Pro Bowls in all. Not too bad for the guy brought in to protect your quarterbacks blindside.
But when you look at the current Chiefs and the issues they currently have on the offensive line it makes you want to figure out how to emulate the kind of success those early 2000's teams had on offense and you realize that it starts with the beef up front. The Chiefs had the success they did on offense because they had two HOF-caliber offensive lineman on the same team. Brian Waters and Casey Wiegmann weren't slouches either as they made up 2/5 of the rest of the line. It's always flashy to look at the play-makers and the guys on SportsCenter every week, but it's the beef up front making it happen, and these guys made it happen on a regular basis. Shields came to the Chiefs via the University of Nebraska with the 3rd round pick in 1993, while Roaf was traded for nine years later. There's several ways to build an offensive line and the Chiefs had it figured out back then,
The Chiefs find themselves most likely looking at an offensive lineman with their first draft pick this year and while you obviously can't expect every pick to work out as well as a Will Shields or for every trade to work out like a Willie Roaf, the fact that it's happened before always makes you optimistic that it could happen again. These two legends of the game will always be remembered and revered for what they did in Kansas City almost a decade ago, and the generation of Chiefs fans that were lucky enough to see them play together will always tell stories of an offensive line that paved the way for anyone and everyone for several years in the red and gold.

An America of Peace, Rev. 2
After much protest from my readers, I will try rev two of An America of Peace. We have to do something, because people in our society currently live in an alternative reality where Trump is the victim of legal persecution. In reality, it becomes more clear every day, there's something going on here. We don't know for sure what it is, but we've heard many experts give their opinion on TV these days. There's a strange twist to this whole thing that started a couple years ago.
To find peace with a bunch of brainwashed people, do what my dad did when I was a Hare Krishna devotee. For him it was like a chess game. His first move was to meet the leaders at the temple and befriend them. Check. That way he could stay in contact with me. Second, he never told me to leave. He approved of certain aspects of my situation. I had a good place to live and was working hard at the office and at the temple. He accepted it as a cross between the military and a monastery. Lots of rules, lots of renunciation.
At this point, our relatives are reluctant to share the cult with us. When we arrive unexpectedly, they reach for the remote to lower the sound or pause. They do not share their strange beliefs with us, then we see someone who could be our own relatives shouting profanities at a fake news camera. It's getting scary out there, as if things will boil over.
Instead of changing how we discuss the Koch and Bush families, I think we need to speak up to our relatives. Ask them to share their thoughts and beliefs. Like my father, don't do it to pry me away from my beliefs. Do it out of concern. Like, my dad might say, "I saw this article about your group in The New York Times . . ." So you might say, "I saw this [latest wacky thing] and was concerned. What do you think about it?" Then let them tell you. Then after they clarify, either elaborate or change the subject. Do not interrogate your loved one. My father never, ever yelled at me about being in the group. He watched over me and raised legitimate questions when it was appropriate. We should learn something from that, and show some interest in the alternative world.
If you attempt this, remember relatives are precious, same for close neighbors and friends. We don't want to wreck anybody's world. Live and let live live we've done for the last two years. If anything we want to offer them a bridge to the real world where the news is not fake. Betrayals can be emotionally devastating. We need to be kind if they share parts of their worldview, and listen out of love, never during an episode of anger. If you're angry, say, let's talk about this later. Then leave or hang up after saying a polite and concise goodbye.
An America of Peace [please see revision, above]
Let's Begin with our Words
People Left of center change the following language: instead of "Koch Brothers," we will use the more respectful "Koch Foundation." Saying "Koch Brothers" sounds like "coke" brothers - Left leaners stop making fun of their name.
While still studying the past for useful information, people on the left Left give the Bush family the recognition, love, and honor they deserve.
The sane Right blesses Left of center grandmothers in the House and Senate, and other elected office. The Right acknowledges the sincerity of Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, and other women who proudly serve their country.
People on the sane Right stand up to Russia instead of abusing their conscience, embodied in the voices of the Democratic party. America wins the Cyber Cold War when the sane Right and Left of center come together to solve the problem.

Kuppali Puttappa Poornachandra Tejaswi (8 September 1938 – 5 April 2007) was a prominent Indian writer and  novelist in Kannada. He also worked as  a photographer, publisher, painter, naturalist, and environmentalist. He made a great impression in the Navya ("new") period of Kannada literature and inaugurated the Bandaaya Saahitya genre of protest literature with his short-story collection Abachoorina Post Offisu. He is the son of noted Kannada poet Kuvempu.

At early stages of his writing career, Tejaswi wrote poems but later concentrated on short stories, novels and essays. His distinctive style of writing is credited with heralding a new era in Kannada literature.

Early life
Tejaswi was born on 8 September 1938 in Kuppali in Shimoga district of Karnataka. Although he was the son of Kuvempu, he came out of his father's shadow and established his own image at an early age. Tejaswi received best story award in the competition held by Prajavani Kannada newspaper on the occasion of Deepavali, for his first short story "Linga Banda", a look at the rainy Western Ghats from the eye of a boy. After completion of his education from Maharaja College of Mysore, one among the top colleges in India, due to his interests in nature and farming, he moved to Mudigere taluk of Chikmagalur District after buying a coffee estate. Apart from literature he was actively involved in painting, photography and philosophy.

He was a keen learner of nature and his favourite pastime was to roam around in the forests of western ghats.

Literary works
Tejaswi has written in almost all forms of literature including poems, short stories, novels, travel literature, plays and science fiction. Nature and incidents related to nature enjoy major roles in most of his works. One of the most popular writers in Kannada, Tejaswi's works have continued to remain popular, going into multiple prints and often topping reader's charts. Karvalo is one such novel where the author participates in an adventure of discovering a flying lizard in the dense forests of Western Ghats.

Tejaswi has translated a number of English books to Kannada enriching the depth of Kannada literature. His famous translations include the series on Kenneth Anderson's hunting expeditions and Henri Charrière's Papillon.

Tejaswi wrote his first novel, Kaadu Mattu Kraurya, when he was a 24-year-old in 1962. The novel is expected to be in print for the first time towards the end of 2012. He had initially planned to name this work Nalini but later decided to go by its present title. Tejaswi was inspired to write the novel after visiting his wife Rajeshwari's maternal home in the forested Malnad region of Karnataka. The novel, whose manuscript was prepared by Rajeshwari, is the story of Linga, a migrant bonded labourer from north Karnataka who moves to a remote Malnad village where he struggles to cope with his new life and surroundings.

Trivia
 Tejaswi heralded a new wave, when he (with like-minded friends) compiled Kuvempu's Sri Ramayana Darshanam in Kuvempu's handwriting. The Government of Karnataka aided the effort with grants, but the cost of the book was high and ended up with mediocre success.
 A controversy started in early 2004 demanding inducting Madhwacharya's name in Jaya Bharata Jananiya Tanujate, written by Kuvempu. Tejaswi, as son of Kuvempu and holder of copyrights of Kuvempu's articles, strongly criticised any attempts to change the poem.
 While some intellectuals condemned the daubing incident of Belgaum Mayor Vijay More's face with black paint on 11 November 2005, Tejaswi rhetorically asked if More deserved Fair & Lovely instead.
 Tejaswi had a great appetite and was known for his fondness for good food.

Death
He died of cardiac arrest at his farm house Niruttara, Mudigere in Chikmagalur district of Karnataka state, on 5 April 2007 approximately at 2.00 p.m. He was 69 at the time. He has 2 daughters Susmitha and Eshanye who are software professionals. His wife Rajeshwari stayed in Niruttara, Mudigere.

Further reading
 Poornachandra Tejaswi's "Annana Nenapu", although not an autobiography, extensively narrates his childhood and early life.
 "Nanna Tejaswi" is a memoir written by Poornachandra Tejaswi's wife, Rajeshwari, that documents the years they spent together.

Q: Azure Devops - Send alert when deploy takes long time running new Azure DevOps here
We recently did some deploys that ran for 2hs and we expected to finish them in 30min... I wonder if it's possible to configure alerts to send us emails when a deploy takes more than 30min?

A: You should consider breaking own your application in to smaller components or services. 2hrs seems extreme.
You can write a small app to monitor builds using the Azure DevOps API (an Azure Function would work well), you can query for running builds (see BuildStatus), work out the elapsed duration and alert accordingly.

Grandmaster Warlito "Lito" Concepcion
Sad news reached the world of martial arts in September 9th 2015.
Grandmaster Warlito "Lito" Concepcion had passed away after fighting against illness.
Grandmaster Lito was a great friend and a teacher. He was always smiling, ready to help and teach.
Thank you for all the inspiration, teachings and kindness you have given us.
The legend will live through us all now and forever.
Our deep condolences to the family
Rest in peace, we all miss you.
on the behalf of members of Kombatan and Modern Mano Mano Europe
Master Salvador Caballero, Master Marina Regner and Master Tomi Harell
HISTORY OF GRANDMASTER LITO
Grandmaster Warlito "Lito" Concepcion was born on May 28, 1944 in Butuan City, located in the Agusan Valley region of Mindanao, Philippines. He graduated from the Philippine College of Arts and Trade in Manila, specializing in auto mechanics. He emigrated to the San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA in 1972; eventually got married, and raised a family while owning and operating a car repair business. Life was pretty ordinary for GM Lito until he stumbled into the world of Martial Arts in the late 1980's when he joined his twin sons in Tae Kwon Do classes. He was 48 and the oldest white-belt student in school.
In the early 1990's, GM Lito decided to switch from Tae Kwon Do to Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) when he met Great Grandmaster (GGM) Ernesto Presas, Sr., the founder of International Pilipino Martial Arts Federation (IPMAF) and the creator of Modern Arnis/Kombatan. He was given private lessons and soon became GGM's demo partner during exhibitions and seminars conducted in California, USA from 1995 through 2001. GM Lito was one of many black belt students that participated at the IPMAF World Training Camp in Hinigaran, Negros, Philippines where international Martial Artists convened every two years for training.
With GGM's encouragement, GM Lito established the Concepcion Combative Martial Arts Academy in Vallejo, California USA in 2001. GGM Presas appointed him IPMAF Chief Instructor for California, USA that same year. At the World Hall of Fame Sokeship Council (WHFSC) in Orlando, Florida, USA, GM Lito received the International Hall of Fame Award for Master Instructor of the Year for 2001 and again, in 2002.
2006 marked a milestone for GM Lito when some of his students asked him if he had ever fought in a tournament to test the effectiveness of Kombatan. He admitted he never had. So, wanting to earn their respect, he competed in his very first World Escrima Kali Arnis Federation (WEKAF) World Tournament in Orlando, Florida, USA in July at the age of 62. He competed again in July 2008 at the WEKAF World Tournament held in Cebu City, Philippines. Although many considered GM Lito a senior citizen and too old to participate in a Martial Arts competition, he garnered a total of 3 Gold, 3 Silver and 3 Bronze medals for Form, 3-Man Team and Single-Stick events.
During the 2007 Hall of Fame and IPMAF Camp in Hinigaran, Negros, Philippines, he was promoted to Grandmaster - 8th Degree Black Belt. But GGM Presas upgraded the rank to Grandmaster - 9th Degree after watching GM Lito display the applications of Kombatan techniques while filming a scene in production of his movie.
Through his participation in seminars, tournaments and the IPMAF training camps, GM Lito met many world-renowned Filipino Martial Artists and reached out to them in friendship. He hosted two "Gathering of Warriors" at his home in Vallejo, the first in August 2002 and the second in June 2007. With so many different styles, GM Lito's passion for Filipino Martial Arts only grows stronger as he continues to analyze, improve and learn new methods to complement and build on his Kombatan foundation.
GM Lito lived in America for 37 years, but moved back to his homeland when he retired in 2009. He resides on the island of Cebu, Philippines with his wife, Caroline.


TRACY: What do you think?
GRANT: With warmer temperatures Ms. Tracy's been out looking for shed antlers and Kable saw something very rare in Indiana.
GRANT: AJ and I started out the week by traveling to the University of Georgia to attend the annual Southeast Deer Study Group.
GRANT: One of the more interesting papers this year was by some researchers from the University of Georgia where they fenced four 80 acre areas to keep coyotes out, but low enough that deer could jump and noted that does were four times more likely to go in there and have their fawn to be on the outside. Think about the whole area of a does' home range, and they select the one area that's coyote proof. What does that tell you about how does react to coyotes?
GRANT: After visiting with fellow deer researchers and managers for a couple days, AJ and I rode down to central Georgia and worked on a new property.
GRANT: This property is owned by Mr. Chick Gregg, and they've had it for several years. One of the best features of this property is that it's part of a 3,000 plus acre co-op. Getting that many neighbors, using the same deer management goals and objectives, is a huge advantage to any property.
GRANT: Mr. Gregg's property is typical of southern Georgia, primarily pines, with some hardwood (inaudible).
GRANT: I mean it's all about soybeans and the reason is, soybeans (inaudible) amino acids are little building blocks of (inaudible).
GRANT: We spend a day touring the property and it was easy to see that of food, cover, and water, food was the most limited resource. All the food plots on the property had been browsed down just about to ground level, and they could easily be several weeks away from spring green up.
GRANT: Just going through the property on the tour here and we noticed that everywhere we've been the smilax, or catbrier, greenbrier, briers, been – the leaves been browsed up about as high as I can reach, six foot tall or so. That's pretty tall for deer, so obviously hungry, they don't have enough food this winter. We're changing that. We've been talking about food plots and right below that, we have a weed species, privet, and they've browsed even the wood on it. The leaves and the wood, so when I know deer are browsing privet that hard, they're hungry and they can't express their full, either antler production or fawn production, potential. Like a lot of landowners, they had tried a lot of different varieties of forage, but it usually boils down, if you have enough acres, that soybeans, especially forage soybeans, provide the most tonnage during the summer. Literally, more tons of most other varieties and make enough pods to carry the deer herd through the winter.
GRANT: We noticed several old logging decks while touring the property. Logging decks are simply when they'd forested, or thinned, the part of the area, brought logs to one area, cleaned 'em up a little bit and loaded 'em on trucks to take 'em to the mill. We're gonna propose they clean off these logging decks and restore that soil there, fertilizer and lime, and plant clover in all the logging decks.
GRANT: (Inaudible) Again, it's easier to add more fertilize and grow more per acre than it is to make more acres and makes your hunting better cause it concentrates the behavior a little bit more, the movement, the activity, so.
GRANT: Well, I know you all are serious hunters, cause anyone that would build a zip line across the deep creeks, strictly for the purpose of going hunting, not for recreation, are serious.
CHICK: Especially for a couple old guys.
GRANT: For a couple old guys, yeah. I love that level of intensity and I believe we've now got a great idea of the limiting factors, can go home, develop, plan maps that will put you all on the road to better hunting and bigger antlers.
GRANT: We rode home, for one day, just enough to unpack our suitcases and headed out the next day to Kansas to work with Mr. Bill Bradley.
GRANT: Bill owns three different properties in Kansas – about 20-30 miles apart. This happened to be a spot where they've dumped the coal and washed the sulfur off. And it literally had driven the acidity down to two. That's almost enough to burn the human skin.
GRANT: There was a significant problem on this farm and they all had four legs.
GRANT: Well, we're seeing some obvious hog damage. I think a lot of our viewers don't realize there's hogs in Kansas.
BRADLEY: They, yes, they've been, uh, reported across the south line, but in this case, uh, someone in the vicinity has, uh, brought them in illegally.
GRANT: Which is a problem. You know, let me say right now, don't want hogs in your neighborhood. Definitely don't bring 'em in. Report people that do, because they end up doing a huge amount of damage and carry diseases that livestock and humans can get.
GRANT: It's important to note that hogs are not native to America. They're feral hogs, really, escaped, not wild hogs, and they're doing a lot of damage in this area. We strongly suggest that Mr. Bradley work with local government agencies to eliminate this population before they build so large that they can no longer be controlled.
GRANT: We really enjoyed visiting with Mr. Bradley and his friends. All three of his farms have great potential to provide awesome deer and turkey hunting for his family and friends.
ADAM: No, there wasn't much there, ever.
TRACY: Really? There's usually a lot of activity right here in this bedding area. Look at that rub, right down there. See it just shining? Look, green heads.
BRIAN: Did you get any of it?
ADAM: Yeah, I got 'em flying off.
TRACY: I'll just, I'm gonna call and cancel my hair appointment. See, this is an addiction.
GRANT: Tracy loves shed hunting and once the snow got off the ground, she's out every day she has a chance, looking for antlers.
TRACY: Yes. Good girl. Oh, she's a goodie. She's a good girl. Yes, she is. She's a good one. What do you think, Adam? What is it? Wahoo. What do you think?
ADAM: Yeah, that's a heck of a shed.
TRACY: All right, he was right here.
GRANT: When Tracy brings a shed in, I'm gonna flip it over first and look at the base and make sure it's a normal shape, like it just popped off the skull.
GRANT: By comparison, this is a normal shed, healthy. I imagine this deer will be here next year. When I look at this shed, I can see, actually, part of the skull is attached to the base of the antler.
GRANT: This probably was caused by a brain abscess, or a bacteria inside the skull, that actually is very acidic and erodes part of the skull bone and that deer may, or may not live, depending on how severe that erosion is.
TRACY: A little peep of white showing right there at the base.
BRIAN: Yeah, I don't even see it.
TRACY: Come on up and you'll see it. So I looked and I saw the little white and I thought, that's not normal in a bedding area.
BRIAN: You see how clean that is? That means your deer are healthy. That's what you look for.
GRANT: We also track the location where Tracy finds all these sheds because they're obviously in late winter food sources or bedding areas, and given the tough conditions, those bucks could be in those same areas in December or January, this coming hunting season.
TRACY: Adam came out and he shot us a photo of one he found and that was just like, that's it, and now the addictions set in and I've, I've got to get out and look for antlers, every chance I can.
GRANT: We realize there's snow throughout a lot of the northern part of the whitetails' range still, and you just can't get out and look for sheds. And all though it's been tough for Kable to get out and find sheds, due to the snow, he did have a very rare and cool observation.
KABLE: Just pulled in the driveway and I just saw her run through the yard, so I just grabbed my camera and came out here and, uh, started filming her real quick.
KABLE: She's staring at me right now at about 65 yards.
GRANT: Piebald are mostly white because of a genetic trait that's very recessive, or very rare, in white-tailed deer.
GRANT: Piebald deer are protected in some states and legal to harvest in other states. As a biologist, I'd probably err on they should be harvested side because they carry some bad traits; roman nose, scoliosis, bad back, and low reproductive rates. But as a hunter, they sure are beautiful to watch and a couple of piebald deer I've seen while hunting, I've elected to pass and hope I get to see 'em another day.
GRANT: Kable feels the same way. He thinks he's seen the same piebald deer since she was a fawn to now, and he's given her a pass every year.
GRANT: Whether the ground is still covered with snow, or you're able to get out and look for some sheds this week, I hope you take time, slow down, and enjoy Creation and most importantly, listen to what the Creator is saying to you. Thanks for watching GrowingDeer.tv.
TRACY: Have been, have been really close.

The low temperatures produced by this product make it suitable for extended hauling of perishable goods, ongoing cold storage, and specific scientific applications. Dry ice is also an everyday purchase for event planners, special effects enthusiasts and professional production companies. Crystal Ice offers dry ice in a range of sizes. Just pick the option needed for your intended use.
When most people think of ice, their minds probably go to the products that fall into this combined category. Ice cubes are the classic choice for cooling drinks at parties, cookouts and other home gatherings. However, plenty of people and businesses prefer to use crushed ice or cocktail ice for beverage cooling and other purposes. Our high-capacity setup allows us to meet any level of personal or commercial demand for each of these products.
All the ice in the world won't make a difference to your plans if it doesn't arrive in time to meet your schedule. Food- and drink-oriented businesses are acutely aware of this fact since missed deliveries can lead to service disruptions, poor customer reactions and lost income. However, the same scenario also holds true for event planners and private individuals hosting gatherings or celebrations.
At Crystal Ice, our entire business model centers around the reliable delivery of your chosen ice products. That's why we operate not one, but three full-service ice docks in the greater Los Angeles region. Regardless of where you work or live in our sprawling delivery area, we aim to get your order to your location in no more than an hour and a half. We also offer an expedited option that lowers the expected arrival time even further. And rest assured, we don't just dump our products at your door and leave. All customers can expect full unloading, onsite transport to your preferred end destination and additional setup or preparation as required.
A snow production is any event or setting that calls for the use of artificial snow. The freedom of this type of production allows you to mimic winter conditions any time of the year. Formation of fake snow requires three essential items: a device that turns filtered water into mist, a freezing chamber that turns misted water into snowflakes and a blower unit that forces the human-made snowflakes out into the surrounding environment. Today's top-tier snowmaking setups can shoot out flakes in a vast range of sizes and levels of wetness.
In Bellflower and other locations where natural snowfall is unheard of, snow productions are favorites during the winter months, as well as in different seasons. That's because you can use artificial snow to do such things as make temporary sledding hills, stage Christmas-themed parties or create the ideal backdrop for holiday photos or cards. You can also use a snow production to create the perfect setting for fundraising and charity events.
Crystal Ice is your local provider for top-quality snow productions of all kinds. No matter the size or duration of your planned event, we can generate the amount of artificial snow required to meet your needs. As an added benefit, our snowmaking machines create a product that's free from the contaminants that often get trapped in a natural snowfall. In this respect, modern technology allows us to improve on real-world conditions.
In the hands of a skilled sculptor, an ice carving can take an endless number of forms and sizes. Many love these carvings for their artistic or aesthetic appeal. However, products in this category can also serve a utilitarian purpose as part of buffets or other food service settings. Whatever their desired function, ice sculptures frequently serve as a focal point and topic of conversation.
For decades, greater Los Angeles has turned to Crystal Ice as a preferred provider for functional ice sculptures and ice-based works of art. This is true, in large part, because of our long-term relationships with some of the most talented carvers working in the region. The high level of professionalism at your disposal makes it easy to sketch out your ideas, collaborate with the sculptor working on your project and receive an end product that lives up to your expectations.
With a population of nearly 78,000 packed into an area of just over six square miles, Bellflower is one of the most densely settled communities of its size in California, and the entire U.S. Modern settlement began in the area in the early 1900s, but formal incorporation did not come until the 1950s. Bellflower forms part of the southeast Los Angeles County region known as the Gateway Cities, and the municipality relies on L.A. County for its police and fire services. The community lies a short distance from Long Beach Airport, the Gardens Casino, and Knott's Berry Farm amusement park.
Crystal Ice serves the residents and businesses of Bellflower from our full-service ice dock located at 6833 McKinley Avenue in Los Angeles. For more than half a century, we've worked hard every day to supply the most excellent quality products at reasonable prices and on reliable delivery schedules. Whether your needs are personal, business-oriented or fundraising-related, you won't find a more comprehensive source of ice products anywhere in the region. Contact us today to schedule a delivery or learn more about our range of product options.

With Sails Whitening Every Sea: Mariners and the Making of an American Maritime Empire. By Brian Rouleau. (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2014. Pp. 288. Cloth, $45.00.)
Herman Melville understood the role of sailors in imperial expansion. In Chapter 89 of Moby-Dick, narrator Ishmael holds forth on the nature of a "Fast-Fish," a whale that "belongs to the party fast to it," and a "Loose-Fish," which is "fair game for anybody who can soonest catch it." For Melville, himself a South Seas sailor, those two rules of whaling were the rules of the world itself, which, like a whale, belongs to those who seize it. "What is the great globe itself," Ishmael concludes, "but a Loose-Fish?"1 [End Page 425]
Brian Rouleau's book recovers the nineteenth-century world in which sailors helped catch those Loose-Fish territories for the United States. Unlike many modern histories that treat Manifest Destiny as a matter of acquiring more western land, Rouleau emphasizes that it was also a watery affair. Rouleau follows sailors traversing the globe and playing a variety of roles: interpreters of foreign culture for American audiences in numerous published stories of the sea; ambassadors of American race politics who performed minstrel shows for foreign audiences; advocates of Manifest Destiny who extended the subjection of American Indians at home to natives encountered abroad; brawlers who violently defended their right to enact their own notions of foreign relations; hedonists eager for sex with exotic women; and traders eking out an existence in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. Rouleau provides a subtle reading of sailors performing each of these roles, demonstrating the complex motivations that drove their work abroad and the multifaceted ways in which those roles were received by foreigners.
His discussion of maritime minstrel shows is particularly striking. For example, when Commodore Matthew C. Perry sailed to Japan in 1852 to establish commercial relations, the official statements and exchanges of gifts were accompanied by a minstrel show put on by the ships' sailors. The show was a big hit with both sides. As the Americans capered about in blackface, the Japanese apparently howled with laughter, far more impressed with their visitors' racial antics than with the guns, printing press, telegraph, and locomotive Perry brought to display American technology. American sailors, both in naval and merchant services, regularly staged minstrel shows for themselves aboard ship to break the hours of tedium at sea, and for foreigners to break the ice on meeting for the first time. Indeed, it seems minstrel shows succeeded like nothing else in bonding American sailors to new peoples not only in Japan but also in Fiji, China, and Tahiti.
Minstrel shows wowed audiences across the United States, so it is easy to understand why American sailors enjoyed performing them. But why did foreign audiences love them? After all, they lacked English as well as the cultural context on which minstrel jokes turned. Rouleau argues that the physical comedy of minstrel slapstick made the jokes more easily relatable, but more importantly audiences most likely received the minstrel's message on their own terms. In Japan, for example, Kabuki theater featured masks, physical comedy, and singing similar to a minstrel show. Japanese culture also had its own tendency toward [End Page 426] looking down on foreigners in general and Africans in particular. The black-faced singers might have sounded familiar, then, even without understanding the words. Similarly, in Fiji natives had their own tradition of singing and dancing shows, and they seemed to have viewed the jokes at the expense of blacks as more about the lowly work status of African American sailors rather than as a function of their race. The meanings of minstrel shows were complex and contested for both performers and audiences, but the popularity of blackface as the go-to way to represent the United States abroad was ultimately imperialistic.
In addition, Rouleau pursues a secondary argument about the lives of seafarers, entering into the debate about the distinctiveness of sailors...


As this year's Open Access Week winds down, I'm really pleased to share that the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation will generously fund a new, three-year phase of PressForward to ensure its long-term sustainability. The key deliverables of the grant are the launch of a dozen high-quality science publications and the continued refinement of the PressForward software to lower the barrier to entry for new research groups who want to create a collaborative publication.
While "sustainability" is probably the most dreaded criterion of any grant application, it's an area that I actually enjoy working on in its own right. At RRCHNM we've been fortunate to shepherd Zotero and Omeka through phases of grant funding that were explicitly intended to lay the foundation for the projects' long-term viability, and we've also worked hard to establish an effective business model to keep those projects running and growing indefinitely, on their own steam.
Zotero, for example, has been entirely sustainable since April 2013. We continue to do some important grant-funded work, but these projects are now essentially above and beyond the costs of Zotero's infrastructure and core development, which are sustained via the sale of Zotero services (primarily cloud syncing and collaboration).
At first glance this model might look a lot like a business plan for a crappy startup. But there are two key ways in which it differs. First of all, the "open" aspect isn't just good politics: it's a powerful motivator for encouraging community involvement in a project, and it signals that the project isn't simply top-down. Second, there are no "???" and "Profit!" phases to the plan, which frees us take a long-range perspective on user experience.
Launching a new project is of course exciting, both for developers and for funders. But establishing a project on sound footing for the long-term is particularly rewarding, because it means that all the hard work and money and good will that went into the project will continue to benefit the community. We're all extremely fortunate that Sloan and other funders (e.g. Mellon and NEH) are increasingly sensitive to the importance of long-term sustainability, and that they are taking an active interest in working with projects to put them on a sustainable path.
We'll be sharing more details next week about the specifics of PressForward's new direction phase in a formal announcement at the project's blog, but in the meantime, congratulations to the entire PressForward team!

I'm happy to announce the funding of Tropy, a major new RRCHNM initiative that Stephen Robertson and I will lead over the next two years. Thanks to the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Tropy will fill a crucial need in the initial phase of the research process: where humanities researchers organize and analyze their vast and rapidly growing personal collections of digital images collected in the archives. In the coming months we'll be working closely with researchers and a range of archives to develop an entirely new digital tool that enables the efficient import, editing, organization, search, and sharing of images taken in the archives.
First, Tropy is something that researchers want, right now. Unlike Zotero, which required (and in some cases, still requires) some convincing to get humanities scholars to use it, people working in the archives are well aware that they're drowning in the sea of digital images. And on the other side of the transaction, archives are struggling to meet the rapidly evolving demands of their users. No existing software meets these needs, since photo management applications like Apple Photos or Google Picasa are geared entirely toward the photograph, not to the artifact it depicts.
Second, although we remain a long way from a shipping piece of software, Tropy is already the product of over two years of planning and input from a wide range of experts. Stephen and I began discussing it way back in 2013. Like so many ideas at RRCHNM, the plan for Tropy took further shape thanks to the intellectual generosity of countless colleagues: Faolan Cheslack-Postava, Mandy Regan, Jim Safley, Lisa Rhody, Ken Albers, Kim Nguyen, and John Flatness, among others. And so even before development has begun in earnest, Tropy is already an intensively collaborative enterprise. And if you — a researcher, an archivist, a software developer — are interested in participating in this project, there will be ample opportunity in the very near future.
Third, Tropy will significantly extend an already critically important scholarly infrastructure developed at RRCHNM. Zotero remains best-suited for bibliographic data, notes, and citation; Omeka for the public presentation of research collections; PressForward for the collection and dissemination of scholarship. Tropy, in contrast, targets the discrete research tasks of collection, discovery, organization, and sharing of images.
Fourth, Tropy takes RRCHNM development in a novel technical direction. Without getting too much into the technology we're putting into Tropy, it will very much be a "2016 and beyond" environment. Thanks to newly emerging platforms like Electron, we will actually be able to build a cross-platform tool that functions the way we want it to, something that simply would not have been cost-effective or even feasible given the environments we're currently using for projects like Omeka (LAMP) or Zotero (XULRunner/PHP).
As the project takes shape we'll be launching a dedicated project site and (of course) making the code freely available. More soon.

We present a case of an intradermal allergy test involving positive and negative reactions to allergens. The standard reading is supplemented by thermal imaging and calculation of an indicator related to the change in temperature due to allergic reactions in the examined skin areas (dT). The results show that the temperature reading can complement the standard test, and the dT indicator can be used to distinguish positive from negative reactions.

(Photo by TOSHIFUMI KITAMURA / AFP)
Mitsubishi Motors is sometimes the forgotten partner in the three-way alliance with Nissan and Renault that dominates the global auto industry, but the Japanese firm has a colourful — and scandal-hit — history.
At an emergency board meeting on Monday, executives from the firm ousted Carlos Ghosn as chairman following the tycoon's shock arrest a week ago on allegations of financial misconduct.
Here are some facts and background about the Japanese firm which employs around 31,000 people and whose products are sold in 160 countries.
Scandal follows scandal
Founded in 1970, the Tokyo-based firm has found itself on the brink of the scrap yard following massive corporate scandals.
In 2000, Mitsubishi Motors was forced to confess it had failed to inform the authorities about at least 64,000 customer complaints over faulty vehicles since 1977, opting to repair the vehicles itself instead of issuing costly model-wide recalls.
Four years later, the scandal broadened as it emerged the firm also covered up faults on 160,000 passenger cars and failed to declare a full recall.
The scandals had a major impact on Mitsubishi's domestic car sales and stock price, as trust in the firm was shattered.
Then, in 2016, another scandal broke: the firm had been cheating on fuel efficiency tests on cars for its home market for the past 25 years to make them appear more "green." This scandal affected hundreds of thousands of cars.
The series of scandals had a catastrophic effect on sales and the share price of Mitsubishi Motors and it was twice hauled from the verge of bankruptcy.
In 2004, the car firm was saved by the wider Mitsubishi group — including Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, one of Japan's biggest industrial conglomerates.
After an initial cash injection of 496 billion yen ($5.2 billion at the exchange rate of the time), three companies (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Corp. and Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi) ploughed in a further 270 billion yen to keep the car firm afloat.
This gave the combined holding 34 percent of Mitsubishi Motors stock.
After the fuel-mileage scandal, who should ride to the rescue but Ghosn.
The businessman snapped up a 34-percent stake in the struggling Mitsubishi Motors at a cost of 237 billion yen and became chairman of the firm.
Recovery plan
Rather like Nissan, also saved by Ghosn from serious financial trouble, Mitsubishi's fortunes were revived after joining the three-way alliance with Renault.
In its most recent financial statement this month, it announced a gain of seven percent in first-half net profits compared to the same period the previous year. Operating profits jumped nearly 29 percent.
The recovery was led by a strong performance in Asia. It doubled sales in Indonesia and also sold well in Thailand and China.
Importantly, it also saw sales rebounding in the home market, suggesting the firm was beginning to rebuild consumers' trust after the scandals.
According to sales figures released earlier this month, Nissan was the best-selling firm in the alliance, selling 5.81 million cars last calendar year. Renault sold 3.76 million and Mitsubishi Motors 1.03 million.
For the fiscal year 2019 — ending in March — Mitsubishi aims to sell 1.25 million cars producing a turnover of 2.4 trillion yen.
It projects a net profit over the fiscal year of 110 billion yen, a gain of 2.2 percent.

A GUN which shoots eight streaking balls of fire in rapid succession is now being tested as a possible anti-aircraft gun to set fire to enemy planes during wartime.
The gun is built on a "Roman Candle" principle, each ball being separately ignited from a battery as the trigger is pulled. A metal funnel on the end protects the operator from flying embers cast by the imperfect powder balls now being used.
Oh…it's the pyro-class guy from Team Fortress!


By the end of the night, countertops in the press box will be heaped with a forest's worth of paper bearing transcribed quotes, enough to create a bonfire of the inanities. "We can't be satisfied being 7-2".
Quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 26 passes on a season-high 45 attempts for 327 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
For almost three quarters, Case Keenum was heading for the game of his life.
"We're going to come back and it fix it, " said linebacker Eric Kendricks. "Sometimes plans change. We'll see how it goes and we'll sit down this week and visit about it and kind of go from there". They faced third-and-8 at the Washington 39. He only has two games with over 250 passing yards this season and he has been intercepted at least once in the Vikings' last three outings.
In one game, Keenum wrote a brilliant dissertation on why he should keep the job, then jammed it into the nearest shredder. "But there are those times you don't want to do that. Then we kind of let them back in it, so it made it a little tight, but those are the things we can learn from".
And with that, the Vikings improved to 7-2 on the season, on a day when their defense was far from flawless. With this team, internal drama is as commonplace as ankle tape. That all but locked up another win for Keenum as the starter.
"That was awesome, " Morgan said. "My spirit just sensed that he was a good man and the spirit never lies". Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater said with a laugh. He's a great dude, a great teammate. "They didn't tell me about it". They also have Sam Bradford, but he's heading to IR thanks to a bothersome knee issue.
Keenum should be able to stay consistent against Washington this week. Now all Zimmer has to decide is when the future will resume.
"I was very, very jealous that I wasn't in it, " Murray said.
It is the nature of the 2017 Vikings that they solidified their status as one of the best teams in the NFC and maintained their two-game lead in the division without completely quelling questions about their quarterback position.
"Playing leapfrog, they did it without me, " Keenum said.

Industry Leader Offers Advice to Nigeria's Farmers
NIGERIA - The president of one of the country's successful companies has urged farmers to improve their skills and to improve production efficiency, while calling on banks to make more money available for farmers to invest in their poultry enterprises.
Poultry farmers have been urged to make the acquisition of knowledge a priority as the business is knowledge and technology driven, reports Compass News of Nigeria.
Speaking at a media conference in commemoration of the 30th year of his company, the president of Animal Care Services Konsult Limited, Dr Olatunde Agbato, said that there is a need for poultry farmers to do things properly.
He said: "There is no way we can keep doing things the same way and get different results. But it is a pity that most of our farmers are not willing to pay for knowledge and so we still have a long way to go.
"Farmers need to know that they are in a business that is technology-driven and must be ready to acquire knowledge to drive their business. A good number believe that as long as they are able to meet the cost of their feeds, they are in business. They need to get detailed information on the business. Many look at cost increase before taking decisions to do new things, whereas it is the ultimate benefit that the knowledge will do for them that they should consider.
"If a new technology is adopted, a space of one year should be given to assess whether it has worked or not but our people want an overnight magic and they conclude that the technology did not work. We must be able to update knowledge in our industry. We should attend training workshops and be ready to pay for it."
Dt Agbato noted that the training school started by his firm was to help farmers but the level of patronage was poor because people believed that they do not need it.
Moreover, he enjoined farmers to learn to re-invest profits into their business so as to expand it.
He said: "Many Nigerian farmers seek to expand operations rather than productivity. Emphasis is not to continue to expand operations, but how to get more from what you already have. For example, productivity per hectare of maize is two to three tonnes in Nigeria. In some other countries, people produce up to 15 tonnes. Rather than increasing their hectarage, they increase productivity. This also goes for egg production. Most Nigerian poultry farmers obtain about 270 eggs per hen per year while farmers in other nations have been obtaining between 320 and 365. The secret is increased productivity. Low productivity is the bane of agriculture in Nigeria. We need to train and deploy modern approach and techniques."
He noted that underlining principle behind the success of the Indian poultry farmers was that they learn to re-invest in their businesses.
Dt Agbato continued: "The profit that Nigerian poultry farmers make in egg sales is far more than what other farmers around the world are making. But the irony of the matter is that other farmers around the world have more money than Nigerian farmers because they have exploited the advantage of technology to improve their productivity. They are producing more volumes of eggs per year. While Nigerian farmers are margin-driven, other farmers around the world are volume-driven and this is why they have more money than their counterparts in Nigeria despite the fact that Nigerian farmers sell eggs at a higher price than theirs."
Compass News reports that Dr Agbato declared that it was high time for Nigerian farmers to embrace technology so as to improve their productivity and be able to produce in volumes, thus leading to reduction of prices of their commodities.
He noted that the potential for egg consumption was enormous in the country as most people eat less that 40 eggs in a year.
"And this is because the economy is bad; but if the farmers can produce at affordable prices, the consumption rate will rise," he said.
However, the Animal Care boss called on the government to rise to its duty by creating enabling environment to help the farmers reduce their production cost. He said that India was able to rise to become the second biggest egg producer in the world because the Indian government came to their aid.
Dt Agbato explained: "It is the government's duty to provide infrastructures and credit for farmers. But we are in a country where the farmer generates his own power, source for water supply and for funds. If government rises up to its responsibilities, the farmers can face their core businesses. Government needs to provide access to credit to farmers and at single digit interest rate.
"We don't have to reinvent the wheel. We have an example in India as to how to help in funding farmers. In 1982, India had the same problem we are having. Most banks did not want to expose themselves to agriculture because of the vagaries. The government of India and the Reserve Bank (Central Bank) set up a wholesale development bank, National Bank for Agricultural and Rural Development, (NABARD) to refinance funds given to commercial banks.
"So through NABAD, the government supported the farmers by giving them loan for seven years with two years moratorium. By this, there was no pressure on them to pay up. One of the banks' problems was that they had short-term funds and could not fund long term projects. This is one challenge that the Nigerian Government must take off the farmers. Loans given within one year will not help farmers. It is a disincentive and is not realistic.
"This issue of refinancing is what I have been canvassing for sometime now. This is what we can do to revolutionise our agricultural sector. If India did it, we can do it; but the political will to do it is about the thing we are lacking. For instance, the recent case of 200-billion-naira loan given to only two banks should have been given to all banks for easy access to farmers and as a matter of fact, the fund is yet to be disbursed," concluded Dr Agbato.
