2015 Clos de Vougeot, Grand Cru, Domaine Castagnier
Red | For laying down | Domaine Castagnier | Code: 39243 | 2015 | France > Burgundy > Cote de Nuits > Vougeot | Pinot Noir | Medium Bodied, Dry | 13.5 % alcohol
Rich purple in colour, this has a powerful but very backward nose because of the late malolactic fermentation. As ever this is a very muscular Clos Vougeot from the Grand Maupertuis part of the vineyard, with a huge weight of rich red and black fruit; very dense with mineral crunch behind. Drink 2025-2038.
Jérôme Castagnier is the Guide Hachette's Burgundian vigneron of the year for 2017 and has been shortlisted for young vigneron of the year in the region's own awards, so it is all happening for him. He began picking his 2015s on September 9th and finished on Saturday 12th before the rain that fell later that day. This year he has used one-third whole bunches for his village wines and the Crus, and in the last two years has refined his barrel regime so that the wood has less impact on the wine. Note that the malolactic fermentation was only just finishing when we tasted and this may have impacted the bouquets.
The Producer
Domaine Castagnier
Jérôme Castagnier is fifth generation, though passage through the female line and sons-in-law has changed the family name: the originator Jules Séguin was succeeded by Albert Rameau then Gilbert Vadey, a military man, who developed the business, working closely with Alexis Lichine. Guy Castagnier, born in Algeria, married Mademoiselle Vadey and began working at the domaine in 1975. Since 2004 the wines have been bottled as Domaine Castagnier. Jérome, the sole son, did not originally intend to join the family business, becoming instead a professional trumpeter, in the Republican Guard. In 2004 he left Paris and the army and came back to Morey-St Denis.
Other wines by this producer:
Most of the wine produced in this small village comes from a single, walled Grand Cru vineyard, the famous Clos de Vougeot. The vineyard in its present form dates from 1336 (when it was first planted by monks of Cîteaux), although it was not until the following century that it was entirely enclosed by stone walls.
Clos de Vougeot is both the smallest commune and the largest Clos in the Cote d'Or. It consists of 50 hectares of vineyards shared among 82 owners, with six soil types. There is quite a difference in quality between the upper (best) and lower (least fine) parts of the vineyard, though in medieval times a blend from all sectors was considered optimum.
Le Domaine de la Vougeraie makes a very fine white wine from Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot, first picked out by the monks of Cîteaux as being suitable ground for white grapes in the year 1110.
Five hectares of village Vougeot
12 hectares of Premier Cru vineyards (four in all): Les Cras, Les Petits-Vougeots, Clos de la Perrière and Clos Blanc de Vougeot
51 hectares of Grand Cru vineyard – Clos de Vougeot
Recommended producers: Domaine de la Vougeraie, Domaine Bertagna, Engel, Anne Gros, Grivot, Liger-Belair, Meo-Camuzet.


Coming into college, everyone has heard of the "Freshman Fifteen," the massive weight gain students face attributed to the lack of not working out and new eating habits.
With that said, I am thankful that the Activity Center has considered that many students lack the proper amount of exercise and extended their facility hours from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., Monday through Thursday.
I know this came with a lot of apprehension from students, mostly workers, when the news broke. But, I don't think the university did this to work the student-faculty to death; they were just looking out for the students who cannot work out during the day.
I commend the Activity Center for this effort. They heard the students complaints about the early closing and took the steps to change that for us. They wanted to promote a healthier lifestyle for all of ULM's students.
With all of this freedom, it is now up to the students to take the initiative on how they plan to spend their free time.
They no longer have to feel constrained to go to the facility at a certain time, skip a workout because of their busy schedules or pay for a real membership at a gym.
Instead, whether it is a late-night jog or a few minutes of pumping the iron, students can spend the desired amount of time at ULM's facility.
Now, days after the extension of the Activity Center's hours, many students are relieving their stress from their rigorous days of studying by spending their nights in the weight room or playing basketball on the courts.
You can even chill in the sauna or relieve some stress in the steam room—late at night.
It is truly motivating to see the energy of all those enjoying the facility during these late hours instead of having to go to a local rec center where there is not a familiar face for miles.
It is also very encouraging to know that the school has been taking steps in the right direction as ULM tries to live up to the title as the "Best on the Bayou".
With the school being as progressive as it is toward the opinions and needs of its students, a positive atmosphere is circulating around campus between all members of the school.
With all of this said, big things could happen to the Activity Center in the near future.
Maybe new training equipment is in store for the Activity Center. Or, maybe even a rock climbing wall or anything that will make our exercise experience better.
As more and more students continue to use this momentum and come to the rec to work out, maybe the school will see that we actually care about the Activity Center and will do everything they can to make our experience good. Who knows, maybe they will build us another building.


ABC debuted its "Roseanne" spin-off, "The Conners," Tuesday night and the series quickly addressed the absence of its former lead star, Roseanne Barr.
"The Conners" explained that Roseanne Conner died by opioid overdose after surviving a knee surgery.
The reveal didn't completely come out of left field. When we last saw Roseanne, the character was struggling with an addiction to painkillers. In September, Barr spoiled the reveal by saying her character would be killed off.
Many took to Twitter to share they weren't happy with how Barr was written off the series.
#TheConners bye bye………..first and last episode for many of us. You all can not carry the show without @therealroseanne #JohnGoodman, are you ok? You are not looking well, and that makes me sad.
The successful "Roseanne" revival was canceled by ABC in May after Barr compared former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape on Twitter. A month later, a 10-episode spin-off without Barr was announced with the rest of the cast reprising their roles.
Executive producer, Tom Werner, addressed how it was decided to kill Roseanne Conner off of the series during a panel Tuesday night in New York City at PaleyFest.
"This was a challenge that Roseanne Conner was dealing with last year, and we felt that this was something that could shine a light on something," said Werner.
Barr expressed her disappointment with how her character was killed off the show in a statement to INSIDER after the ABC series' premiere.
Some fans noticed that Roseanne Conner's death on the series felt similar to how Glenn Quinn, who played Becky's husband, Mark, died in real life. Quinn died in 2002 as the result of an accidental heroin overdose.
They found it to be in bad taste to his memory.
Really sick way to kill off Rosanne since one of the original cast members "mark" played by Glenn Quinn died from an overdose. WTF is wrong with the writers???
#TheConners is an overdose how Mark died?
The series still hasn't revealed how Becky's husband died on the revival. On Tuesday's premiere, Becky briefly noted that she was having a tough time dealing with her mother's death after the loss of Mark.
How Mark died may be something the series explores this season as each character grieves in their own way with the death of Roseanne Conner.
"The Conners" airs Tuesdays on ABC at 8 p.m. You can read our review of the premiere here.


:: Innovative Solutions :: Our Products :: Ionisation Systems :: Why We Need Air Ionizer?
First and foremost, indoor air pollution can affect your body in an extremely adverse way. Government environmental agencies rate indoor air pollution as the country's biggest pollution problem.
The average person spends 80% of their time indoors, most of that time being spent sleeping. Since we spend much of our lives sleeping, and sleeping is generally done indoors, we are breathing polluted air for much of our lives. Indoor air pollution affects your sinuses, your eyes, your lungs, and your bronchial tubes. It can cause headaches, nosebleeds, sinus pain, eye irritation, fatigue, respiratory problems, dizziness, depression, nausea, skin irritation, cancer, asthma attacks, slow deterioration of the respiratory system, gynecological problems, and drowsiness.
There are poisonous chemicals everywhere. In new carpet and upholstery (benzene, a carcinogen), in tobacco smoke (cyanide, ammonia, benzopyrine), in cleaning products (ammonia), In plywood, cabinets, furniture, particle board, wall paper, paneling (formaldehyde), in gas burners and furnaces (hydrocarbons), in paints, glues and wallpaper (trichlorethylene) and in new drapes and wallpaper and paint (carbon tetrachloride). If you open your windows, you may experience car exhaust (carbon monoxide) and all manner of industrial pollution (the types of pollutants emitted depends on the type of industry). There are many, many more indoor pollutants about which nothing is known. Air Ionizers eliminates these pollutants (plus dust, pollen, exhaust fumes, airborne bacteria, mold, etc) in a natural way, using ozone, activated oxygen, and negative ion generation. In nature, lightning and wind clean the air. Electrical discharges from lightning create an abundance of activated oxygen in the air. The discharges also create negative ions. Together, activated oxygen and negative ions purify the air. Nature's best producer of activated oxygen, other than fire and lightning, is ozone. The ozone in Air ionizer is a natural disinfectant which is produced by lightning in a natural outdoor setting and which kills bacteria, mold and fungi. In addition, as ozone interacts with the moisture in the air (and all air has some moisture), it produces small amounts of hydrogen peroxide, which is also a disinfectant. So germs and bacteria and other nasty things get a double dose of hostile elimination.
As an oxidizer, ozone produces activated oxygen. Activated oxygen acts to break harmful compounds into their sub-components, thus rendering them impotent to harm you. The ionization is a process of particulate removal in which ions are generated in a Clean Air System and are circulated though out an airspace by a fan built into the system. As more and more ions are generated, the air becomes saturated with them in every part of the building, even through walls and doors. Ions are not harmful to humans, pets, or electronic equipment. Ion molecules attract particles of pollutant to themselves, and soon the cluster of ion molecule plus particles becomes too heavy to float in the air (or into your lungs and nose) and they fall to the ground where they can be vaccumed up.
•	Only the air that passes through the filter is cleaned. And so much of the air in a room just doesn't make it through the filter! Air Ionizer fills the air with negative ions and ozone molecules so that soon the air becomes saturated with them. Therefore, there is no area of a space that is not cleaned.
•	With a filter, dirty air is invading the space much faster than it can be cleaned, because filters cannot clean large volumes of air quickly or effectively. Air that is trapped in drapes, furniture, upholstery, or other small closed spaces does not get cleaned. •	Airflow patterns develop in a room, thus creating "non-flow" spaces that go untreated by the filter. Small particles and gases will never be trapped by a media filter.
•	Carbon filters, which are designed to catch gases, tend to be very dense so that they can trap these tiny molecules. The problem with a very dense filter is that very little airflow occurs, so most of the air in a room with slow air flow stays dirty.
•	Filters must be cleaned and you must buy replacement filters regularly. This is very inconvenient, and very expensive!
Using Air Ionizer is much more efficient, effective, and cheap methods to bring you clean indoor air.

With a heavily right-handed lineup, the Cubs have also managed to assemble a pretty weak righty bench: Blanco, Cedeño and Johnson.
Johnson isn't terrible against lefties. Besides, they have Murton if they need a bench righty with power.
Dempster as a starter...well, we'll see how that goes. We've discussed this "he's not capable of doing his job, so let's promote him" strategy already.
We still have Marshall in the minors, so I'm not too worried about Dempster starting.
2. Meatwad Posted: March 31, 2008 at 02:50 PM (#2724376)
whats nice is that this year we have solid options when some of these guys fail. the rotation im not too worried about im sure dempster wont last long. and well the bullpen is going to be solid.
3. Pops Freshenmeyer Posted: March 31, 2008 at 02:55 PM (#2724385)
Piggy & Hart on the roster? I don't have a real opinion on the wisdom but it's a surprise to me.
Do the Cubs really need Mike Fontenot more than Matt Murton?
It only has 1 lefty at the moment (Pignatiello), but it still looks good.
5. Fred Garvin is dead to Mug Posted: March 31, 2008 at 02:56 PM (#2724387)
Interestingly, the roster has exactly one switch hitter. Guess who?
I had to think about this because I was thinking of the hitters.
6. Neil M Posted: March 31, 2008 at 03:06 PM (#2724397)
I'm not happy with Dempster and Marquis filling in the back end of the starting rotation
Me neither. I'm not thrilled about Theriot either, especially in the lead-off spot (only 2 walks in over 70 PAs this Spring is discouraging). Maybe a light will come on in Cedeno's head. I will not be holding my breath.
I'm thinking Dempster will either be in the bullpen or on another team by the end of June.
8. Andere Richtingen Posted: March 31, 2008 at 03:13 PM (#2724408)
Strangely, I think the answer is sort of yes. Replace Fontenot with Murton and you have one left-handed hitter off the bench. Now, Murton might project to be roughly the same hitter against RHP as Fontenot, but given that Ward really counts more as an OF than an IF, Fontenot's defensive utility is probably more useful to the team.
Mind you, I think this discussion is more a reflection of poor roster construction than anything else. Once again, the Cubs have very little right-handed power off the bench, a problem that has existed for some time now.
9. DJ Endless Grudge Can Use Multiple Slurp Juices Posted: March 31, 2008 at 03:32 PM (#2724445)
With a 12-man pitching staff, you're limited to a five man bench. You can't avoid having a backup catcher, and if you're a useful hitter you're not a backup catcher, so you really get to pick four players who could perhaps be meaningful off the bench.
Because of how short the bench is, a guy who can do a number of things poorly tends to be more useful than a guy who can do something really well. A team can't afford to carry three outfielders and one infielder on the bench, at least not comfortably.
Now, you're probably correct that having Ronny Cedeno as your biggest right-handed home run threat off the bench is not the best idea. What's really amazing is that the Cubs collected such a punchless bench without managing to get a single guy who can pinch run especially well in the bargain. That's why I really think Eric Patterson was a better fit for this bench than Mike Fontenot.
10. Spahn Insane Posted: April 01, 2008 at 12:01 AM (#2725829)
Someone in my section today said Hill's not starting the year in the rotation. That can't possibly be right, can it?
11. Dr. Vaux Posted: April 01, 2008 at 12:09 AM (#2725838)
Didn't think so. And MLB confirms Hill's scheduled to start Friday. (Actually, the person who told me this supposedly heard it from her kids, who supposedly shared a flight from Arizona to Chicago with Hill. Somehow, this gave her statement that Hill wasn't in the rotation even less credence with me than the statement would have standing along. Not sure why.)
I can now go back to viewing my sectionmates with the contempt they deserve...
13. Walt Davis Posted: April 01, 2008 at 01:02 AM (#2725881)
The Cubs bench is OK by modern standards -- one decent bat! As #9 points out, you have to have a backup C and almost all teams will carry a legit backup SS (probably not that good an idea) and legit backup CF (also probably not that good an idea). So you've generally got at most two guys who can hit at all on your bench. And since many teams seem intent on carrying a second backup MI, most teams have just one decent hitter on the bench. As bench-hitters go, Ward is good. Welcome to 12-man staffs.
I'm not that worried about the Cubs' RH-heavy lineup. As long as that lineup includes Lee, Ramirez, Soriano and Soto, it's not like there are a lot of better LH options available. And we actually do have a lefty MI option to plug in when beneficial.
But yes, Murton should be on the team. He could be there in place of Johnson (with Fukudome sliding over to CF when needed) or Fontenot/Cedeno (with DeRosa shifting to SS for a game or two when necessary if Cedeno was sent down ... and Cedeno called up when there's a real need). Note, I don't know if Cedeno/Fontenot have options left. And presumably the Cubs have decided a full-blown CF platoon is called for and don't want Fukudome shifting on that regular a basis (which is a reasonable decision if you've decided to go with a CF platoon).
The big offseason boo-boo was doing nothing about SS.
14. SouthSideRyan Posted: April 01, 2008 at 02:17 AM (#2725937)
So what's the over/under on when the casual fan base turns on Theriot?
15. Moses Taylor loves a good maim Posted: April 01, 2008 at 02:29 AM (#2725946)
Why are there people here who still think Marshall can pitch? He sucks. It's my mission to make everyone understand how much he sucks. I can't do that unless he pitches, so I'm hoping everyone just has to take my word on it. (And no, I can't explain the decent ERA from last year). I'd rather have Dempster in the rotation than him. And it's much more likely, IMO, that Marquis is out of the rotation or gone by June.
The bench is ok, not great not terrible. If they had traded for Roberts and De Rosa was the righty on the bench, there'd be nothing to complain about. I think when it's all said and done the Cubs will get above average production from their bench on the season.
16. Andere Richtingen Posted: April 01, 2008 at 01:42 PM (#2726156)
Disagree about Marshall. His ERA was probably lower than expected, but he had decent BB and HR rates. These are patterns that reflect his minor league career. His BABIP was right in line with the team's defense.
I'm not saying he's going to be anything great -- in fact, I think he's great trade bait. But I think he's a decent back end of the rotation starter, and a superior option to both Dempster and Marquis, IMO. Seems like most projection systems put his ERA in the high 4's -- I think mid-4's is more reasonable. What I don't like about him is his Jerome Williams-like inability to go deep into a ballgame, but he's still fairly young.
17. Moses Taylor loves a good maim Posted: April 01, 2008 at 05:12 PM (#2726383)
I just can't stand watching him, and I get the impression Lou feels the same way. He doesn't look like he's a good pitcher. He almost never gets anyone to swing and miss. His control isn't that great, his stuff is mediocre. Yes, sometimes looks can be deceiving, but so can the numbers. It wasn't a good reason to go get Trachsel last year, but both Lou and Hendry felt like it had to be done. That should tell us all we need to know about how they feel about him.
I would love to see him traded, but I think most other teams see the same stuff I think I'm seeing.

and invested the money in groceries, and such other goods as they needed. The price of cod-fish was seventy-five cents a hundred pounds, and of halibut two and one-half or three dollars.
At the side of the saw-mill was the fulling-mill, owned by the True family. In those days some of the young men who "followed the seas" remained at home during the winter, and a class of them was taught navigation, in the fulling-mill, winter nights.
Just above the mills, there is a road-way to the river. At that point the first bridge was built, landing on the intervale. Here now are Col. True's tenter-bars, and just there, at the upper end, stood Lebbeus Bailey's foundry, where he cast his clock-movements and sleigh-bells, and anything else that came in his line. Uncle Bailey was skillful in his art, and could make ont of metal any article called for. He always had the best garden in the neighborhood, and the best fruit.
The Stockbridge house was built in the latter part of the 18th century, by Joseph Stockbridge, who established the mercantile house that continued till the death of his brother, William R., in 1850. In early times, the stable stood 150 feet back from the street, in line with the elm-tree, and from the side of the stable a shed and back store exteuded to within a few feet of the corner of the house. The store was in the north half of the house. The hay-scales stood under the elm-tree. There was a long, two-story, extension to the house, which was purchased by James Field, Jr., and hauled to a lot north of his father's house. The next house, now owned by Mrs. True, was owned and occupier by Capt. Buxton, whose son, David Buxton, will be remembered as a faitlıbook-binder in Portland.
At the corner of the road leading to the paper-mill, was Samuel Warren's tannery. In those days every shoe-maker had a little tan-yard of his own.
The first builting above Mr. Kinney's house, was Chesley Hatch's black-smith's-shop. Here was made the iron-work für Hiram Hatch's carriages and wagons. Beyond Hiram Hatch's house, was a two-story building in which Joseph Barstow trimmed the carriages made by Mr. Hatch.
The shoe-maker's-shop of Samuel Warren stood on the line of the street, next to Capt. Larrabee's garden. And just here is one of the greatest institutions in our school-district, -the never-failing well. There was the old-fashioned well-sweep, and would have been "the moss-covered bucket," if the bucket had time to gather moss.
On the premises of Uncle James Field, was his shoe-maker'sshop, for he was a cord-wainer, as well as farmer. How well I remember his hoary head and smiling face, as he sat in the corner pew at church. In front of Uncle Field's house was a large lawn,
on which I have often seen the Light Infantry parade. That was a crack company, always handsomely uniformed and well commanded.
The next building above the Isaiah Mitchell house was a very old one, two stories high, and commanded a magnificent view of Casco Bay and the islands. In my childhood the house was occupied by "Aunt Jenny Mitchell," a little old woman who wore a red cloak when she came to visit my Grandmother Ames. Possibly she was the mother of D. Mitchell who lived across the road, and whose son, after the death of the old lady, tore the house down and built a smaller one.
Returning now to the bridge, we go up into the Jenks neighborhood. The oldest store there was between Thomas Chase's and the tavern, and was occupied for a long time by Samuel Sweetser. The post-office was in that store for many years, Maj. Mitchell being post-master.
Opposite Mr. Woods' house was a low, gambrel-roofed house which was occupied by Solomon Winslow.
The house at one time occupied by Thomas Chase was built by John Sargent, the tailor, and he resided in it till he moved to Bangor.
Samuel Gilman, son of "old Parson Gilman," occupied the house that is now owned by Paul Blanchard.
The house on the brow of the hill, once occupied by Samuel Sweetser, was for a long time the residence of Dr. Gad Hitchcock ; it is my impression that it was built for him.
Down the Portland road, the house of Col. Seth Mitchell was a famous hotel in its day. It had a large hall for dancing-parties. When the west end" of the town became Cumberland, there was a great law-suit about it, and the trial was held in that hall.
One of the oldest stores at the Falls was at the head of Long Wharf, and in my childhood was kept by Capt. David Drinkwater. For a time the post-office was kept in that store, Capt. Drinkwater being post-master.
Passing along the road to the "old ledge," and just before the turn of the road to the left, we find, on the right hand, an old, two-story house, that was owned by Capt. DoDrinkwater, and afterwards by his son-in-law David Gray. That was a garrisonhouse ; and its defense was a barricade of logs placed at a convenient distance from the sides of the house.
Further along towards the ledge, out in the field stood a house that must have been very old from the fact that my Grandmother Ames was born in it March 26, 1753. The family name was Mitchell, and the house was occupied by a tall man who was always called "Cash Jerry."
Now to come to personals : in my childhood there was a harmless lunatic, Crazy Butler," who was received into people's houses, and was permitted to indulge in the queer freaks that his disordered brain suggested. Some of these freaks were to turn the chairs to face the wall, stand the fire-shovel, tongs and hearth-brush topend down. His insanity was caused by the sudden death of two children, while he was absent from home.
The succession of lawyers was as follows: W. Barrows, whose office stood just above the Grand Trunk Railway station, near the spot on which Dr. Lewis Whitney built a house. This office was the same that was afterwards occupied by Grenville Mellen, near the academy-lot. John W. Mellen followed Mr. Barrows. Then came Grenville Mellen, Philip Eastman, Joseph Stockbridge and Barnabas Freeman.
It seems to me that a description of "old times" would be imperfect without some reference to the way the young people found enjoyment. The singing-school took the place, in large part,
of the modern party and ball. We had parties, but seldom ; and all our pleasures were of a wholesome kind. The winter singingschool gave us a good sleigh-ride; and occasionally we drove to a school miles away from our village. Once or twice in the winter, we had a sleigh-ride, -usually to Freeport Corner, - on a moonlight night. We always had a good time, kept good hours, and the health of no one was put in jeopardy. Once or twice during summer, we sailed down among the islands and had a chowder-party. Not one of the young men among my associates, relapsed into dissipated habits.
It is said there is just at much drinking in Maine as ever; the Maine law has not changed the habits of the people. Let us see: In my boyhood, spiritous liquors were kept in every house in town. In our house, there was the best liquors the Boston market could supply; and such liquors were invariably offered to visiting clergymen, and I never knew or heard of one declining to take something. Ship-builders, farmers, and other employers, furnished their workmen with grog. Rum was a part of every ship's stores. There was not a man in town who sold groceries, who did not also sell spiritous liquors. It was not an unusual thing for boys when playing base-ball, to play for rum. Ten cents would buy a quart of rum, with enough inolasses to sweeten it, and of that we made grog. I have frequently purchased that mixture for the boy's, that being part of the duty of the boy who "kept tally" by cutting notches in a shingle. In those days there were a few habitual drunkards in town, and not a few more who were occasionally intoxicated.
Are any of these customs in existence in the Yarmouth of today, or in any territory that was once a part of North Yarmouth?

Business can be alluring, but like the jellyfish it can also sting. There are demanding clients, bosses who bully, conniving competitors, impossible deadlines, advancing technology and people who play politics. It seems that fear, mistrust, anxiety and feeling overwhelmed run through the veins of business leaders at every level. Running on a hamster wheel, we try to find our place in the fastest changing market the world has ever known. Unfortunately, many of us don't have the ability to thrive on change, so we go around and around until we become irrelevant and get discarded. The courageous among us don't ask "Why is this happening to me?" They declare, "This is happening forme!"


The Tennessee General Assembly has placed multiple barriers to justice for injured parties in both medical malpractice/healthcare liability cases and other personal injury matters. In 2011, Tennessee passed tort reform limiting the amount of non-economic damages that can be recovered by injured parties to $750,000.00 in most cases and $1,000,000.00 in certain cases that fall within a limited group of exceptions. By doing so, the legislature took away the right to have a jury determine justice. The lawyers at Callahan & Binkley believe that this legislative action violates the Tennessee Constitution and have challenged the law at the trial court level in multiple cases. It is only a matter of time before the Tennessee Supreme Court will have an opportunity to determine whether these "damage caps" are in violation of the Tennessee Constitution. The lawyers at Callahan & Binkley will continue to fight the damage caps on behalf of their clients until that time comes.


The oil and gas industry, particularily in the exploration end of the business is by necessity especially secretive. Drill sites are most often classified as a "tight hole" which simply means no one not working on the site is permitted close to the project. In the oil fied it is not unusual to see vehicles parked some distance from a "tight hole" with a scout with camera and binoculars counting the links of pipe being brought up in a bit change to calculate the depth of the project and gauge the progress of the drilling.
I had seen oil service vehicles back in the spring parked in Tisdale and was puzzled by it because we are a very long way from the active oil and gas fields that run from the Leader area at the Alberta border across the whole of the province the the Virden area on the Manitoba border. With the price of oil having risen into the stratosphere gas and oil in low yield and marginal volumes were actually profittable for recovery and there are several new methods of recovering oil and gas from underground formations that have made marginal production areas profittable.
This truck stopped in Tisdale this afternoon when its driver needed to stoo for lunch so it would suggest that he was going or coming from a drill site somewhere in this part of the province, an area not known for convention oil and gas reserves. The interesting thing about this service vehicle is this is a GASFRAC truck used when a natural gas well is being fixed or tested for production. Natural gas is sometimes found with oil reserves but in some cases is found in formation on its own and sometimes those formations are of extremely small porosity meaning that it is hard to produce gas from such a formation or well into a formation of that type.
GASFRAC is a specialised company that has developed methods of bringing marginal gas formations into production. It is worth a look at their web site to note that this is not a vehicle that is used for some other process it is specifically used in the developing of natural gas production from a formation. It is reasonable to surmise that somewhere in this part of the unconventional oil and gas production part of Saskatchewan there is at least one well that has the protential for natural gas production.
We will keep our eyes wide open for other service vehicles and if you know about a possible well site let us all know about it.
Last Summer I copied the Drill Report from the SE Sask. Oil Week.
I copied the report for my interest noting that this 2008 Drilling Plan reaches far into the unknown Oil Country of NE Sask. Near places like Preeceville, Danbury it says that Bjorkdale has a well to be drilled at LSD 4, SECTION 13,, TWP 42, R 12.
Perhaps that is why the GasFrac was in Tisdale.
Attached is that mid-summer Drill Plan.


Hi, everyone! I have a post on The Hedgehog Hollow blog today using some fun products from the November box to make a nontraditional Christmas card! This box is sold out, but remember to head over to The Hedgehog Hollow shop! There are still a few of the exclusive Christmas boxes left! And you can sign up for a subscription so you never miss a box! Here's my card! Scroll down to the bottom of this post for the process video!
I used a rainbow of Distress Inks to create an ink smooshed background! I used Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Mermaid Lagoon, and Dusty Concord! My favorite rainbow combination!! I colored my gingerbread men with alcohol markers. I took a picture of the markers I used – you can see it below. I ended up not using the yellow ones. I had intended to color the buttons yellow, but I actually forgot to stamp them. I ended up going back in and stamping them after I had colored the images and filled them in with a white gel pen.


Looking at the dolphins offense I think we need to stay with a similar package that we ran against New England and use 3 safeties, with Harris and Demario at LB and a "4 man" line of coples, devito, wilkerson and pace/BT.
While fasano is a good blocker, he is not a huge downfield threat from a speed standpoint, so this should be one of the few situations where allen or our LBs can match up with him in coverage.
I do worry a bit about the miami WRs in man coverage, not from a name standpoint, but both bess and hartline are shifty, quick guys, the type of WR that normallly give Cro trouble. It sounds ridiculous, but i would much rather cro face someone like andre johnson then hartline. I think rex will mix in some zone coverage against these guys to try to confuse tannenhill. The extra DB will also put some more speed out there to blitz on early downs.
As far as containing bush, seems like for whatever reason he has struggled after his injury against us, but he had the bye to heal, and apparently is pretty amped for this game. I think keeping a 3rd safety in the game, instead of another slow LB, will hopefully limit bush's ability to cut back. Our dline really played well in NE, especially considering we were without our top 2 NTs...we are going to need that same performance this week.
Nice post and I agree. I wish I had the all-22 coverage so I could watch some of last week's tape. From what I remember, we played quite a bit of 4-2-5 with the exact Allen, Harris, Davis lineup you describe. I really think that was an overlooked defensive strategy that slowed down the Patriots no huddle offense. The flaw in it right now is DeVito is playing on the inside and struggled, because of the injury to Ellis.
If we try to focus on the positives, devito at "NT" actually adds some quickness to the line. He did have 1-2 plays where he got into the backfield to disrupt things, unfortunately he doesnt have the speed to close and make the play. I also think that devito, willk and coples have some "interchange-ability" where we can really move them around and try to create some mismatches. Specifically putting devito outside vs long, simply to occupy him and let coples and wilk try to make something happen against miami's lesser lineman.
We were without any NT. I hope Pouha is back otherwise we need to play 4 lineman. Devito is not a NT, and Pace is not a DE. NE doubled both Wilkerson, and Coples. We need to free them up.
Devito was handled by a single blocker all game. He has been doubled in the past, but Miami probably has film of the Pats game and will realize he doesn't play 0 technique well. Apparently neither of our young NTs are ready for extended action.
Good point about Devito, he is way more effective as DE against the run, he gets handled pretty easily at nose.
It is going to come down to Wilkerson and Couples making plays or drawing double-teams that will allow our LBs to make plays.
Both of these guys looked like monsters vs. the Patriots.
I do worry a bit about the miami WRs in man coverage, not from a name standpoint, but both bess and hartline are shifty, quick guys, the type of WR that normallly give Cro trouble. It sounds ridiculous, but i would much rather cro face someone like andre johnson then hartline.
I'm not the least bit worried about Cromartie on Hartline.
For starters, Hartline's game and style play right into Cromartie's strengths. Hartline does all his damage outside the numbers which is where Cromartie excels. While Bess is shifty, I wouldn't use that term to describe Hartline. Hartline is basically a poor man's version of Jordy Nelson.
Not only that, but Cromartie is playing arguably the best season of his career. I know he had that season in '07 or '08 where he had a bundle of INTs, but his coverage this year has been phenomenal. He's playing like a top 3 corner this year.
The only way Hartline has success outside the numbers is if Cro isn't focused enough, meaning he either draws a penalty or falls asleep at the wheel on a broken play (both of which he's been known to do before).
On the defensive side of the ball, this game boils down to eliminating Reggie Bush and the running game. More important to the game's outcome, however, is how well and crisp the offense plays against a stiff defense in Miami.
While I agree Cro has been playing great lately, please dont forget the play vs Miami in week 3 when hartline left him 10 yards behind him on a double move for a big first down.
Hartline did have a big catch in Week 3, but it was his only catch in Week 3. It came off of a busted play and Cromartie didn't keep his concentration long enough. On regular plays, Hartline did zilch.
We really miss Pouha. Ellis and Harrison could make an impact in this game if their conditioning holds up.
Lets hope he is good to go for sunday, and then can use the extra week for more rest. We definitely miss him on the interior of the line.
Looks like gaffney will be the 3rd WR sunday too. When they spread things out, Id put cro on him and wilson/trufant on bess and hartline with help.
We really should be able to blitz tannenhill and play these guys in man coveragae.

Q: Apache 2.4 curl_exec fails quietly I've been having some small, weird issues with Apache since upgrading to Big Sur, but this one takes the cake. I can make cURL requests in the terminal, but when I try to make a request in an Apache application, all code execution stops and the response is empty. I'm totally baffled by this: there is nothing in the Apache logs, try-catch statements don't turn up any errors, and code executed before the call to curl_exec doesn't get executed.
Here's the simplest example that is failing for me. I host this script with Apache locally, visit it in the browser, and get a blank page:
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$request = curl_init();
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.google.com");
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, TRUE);
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);

$response = curl_exec($request);

echo $response;

At this point I don't even know how to diagnose the problem. The same issue happens with libraries like Guzzle running through a Drupal installation.
There is another related issue which might help explain things: I'm using Apache installed via Homebrew, but I can't use brew services to run apache, I have to run apachectl directly. Homebrew gives me this cryptic error when I run brew services start httpd:

Failure while executing; `/bin/launchctl bootstrap gui/503 /Users/<my_username>/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.httpd.plist` exited with 5.

Update: I erased my entire hard drive, reinstalled Big Sur, and set up my environment again. At first, curl_exec was working again, but now after installing RVM, Ruby, and setting up some ruby-based sites, I'm right back where I started. I thought Passenger might be an issue, but even with that module disabled, curl_exec still hangs, fails quietly, or whatever is happening. Also, Homebrew's httpd service would start normally with no errors, hosting the default page, until installed php and enabled the module; now I have to start apachectl manually.
Here's are all my system info I can think to include:

Hello guys , how are you all?
I am faceing an issue with coursepress , most of buttons work well in coursepress .
My best guess is that this is related to you permalink structure. CoursePress uses virtual pages and it requires permalinks to be set to "Post Name". You can double check that in Settings -> Permalinks in your WordPress admin.
hi, do i need to open new ticket on my WPM dash board ?
Thanks for the access, you don't have to open a new thread once you provide access to your site. With support access granted we can simply check your admin and see if there are any issues there.
With that said I've checked your admin panel and you're right this isn't related to option in Settings -> Permalinks but it is related to the page slugs that you've been changing CoursePress Pro -> Settings -> General. Problem I've found there is that you had a single space at the end of those slugs so permalinks weren't generated properly if that makes sense.
If you want to open a new thread in the future you can do that here. Please note that you shouldn't open new thread for the same issue.


The 2006 reunion and picnic were held on Aug 5th and both were a huge success. The weather was wonderful, the food & drink were plentiful and everyone had a good time. There were several exchanges of genealogy information among attendees to include pictures, scrap books and verbal remembrances. Several attendees visited the Jory Pioneer Cemetery during the day. Doug Deglow and his wife Carol worked in the cemetery the day before the event clearing brush and weeds with their heavy equipment. The brush pile that has been an eye sore for several years was disposed of along with the large stumps that were piled along side the road for several years. All in all, the cemetery now looks much better.

Church minister who gave thanksgiving service for the Queen starred in Absolutely Fabulous
By James Last updated Sep 25, 2022
Revealed: Church clergyman who held the Queen's first official thanksgiving service starred in the 1990s television comedy hit Absolutely Fabulous
Rev Calum MacLeod played pastor to accompany Saffy's wedding in a comedy show
Jennifer Saunders' character's daughter had a doomed service in AbFab
On September 13, Mr MacLeod, 53, led the Thanksgiving service in Edinburgh

Fans of the TV comedy series Absolutely Fabulous could be forgiven if they thought there was something a little known about the church pastor who held the first official thanksgiving service for the Queen.
Because in the 1990s, Rev Calum MacLeod had a cameo role, playing a vicar serving at the doomed wedding of Saffy, the daughter of Jennifer Saunders' character in the beloved show.
Mrs Saunders, the creator of AbFab, had seen MacLeod, then a young assistant minister at St Columba's Church in Knightsbridge, west London, as she scouted possible filming locations.
In the 1990s, Rev Calum MacLeod had a cameo role, playing a vicar serving at the doomed wedding of Saffy, the daughter of Jennifer Saunders' character in the beloved show.
On September 13, Mr MacLeod, 53, conducted the Thanksgiving Service for the Life of the Queen at Edinburgh's St Giles' Cathedral
After walking into the church where he was leading a Sunday School class, she was charmed by Mr MacLeod's brogue of Glasgow and invited him to appear on the show, which also featured Joanna Lumley, Julia Sawalha and Jane Horrocks. He appeared on screen when guests were drinking champagne on arrival at the church and admonished them with the words, "There should be no alcohol in the church."
On September 13, Mr MacLeod, 53, led the Thanksgiving for the Life of the Queen at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh.
He said the experience was nerve-wracking, but also "gripping, meaningful and a great honor."
Born in Glasgow, he worked as a pastor in Chicago for several years before returning to Scotland.

If you haven't been to Queen Anne's Revenge recently you've missed some significant changes. Yes, it's still a pirate-themed restaurant named after one of Blackbeard's ships, and the dining area remain largely unchanged with rough-hewn tables hanging by chains from the ceiling and swords and other pirate relics lining the entryway. The bar area, however, has been totally revamped, a new large outdoor deck added, and, most importantly, the menu has been significantly overhauled.
It was time for a change. The original lengthy slate of steaks, chicken, fish, and mix-and-match fried seafood platters was an Anywhere U.S.A. compilation that, apart from the requisite bowl of she-crab soup, had nothing particularly Lowcountry about it. Since Queen Anne's opened in 2001, the Charleston dining scene has evolved considerably, and the Neighborhood Restaurant Group has opened new restaurants, including the acclaimed McCrady's, which debuted Chef Sean Brock in 2006, and Husk, which opened last year and earned immediate raves in the national press. All this time, Queen Anne's Revenge sailed steadily along, and its menu began to seem almost as much a museum piece as the pirate muskets in the display cases.
On the new menu, the surf-and-turf selection has been pared back to just a few steaks and a catch of the day, and the old pirate-themed entrées — like "Calico Jack's barbecue ribs" and "Captain Moody's chicken" — have walked the plank. Bistro-style entrées like pan-seared salmon ($17) and grilled beef tips au poivre ($17) have moved into the foreground, and farm-to-table ingredients like Geechie Boy grits, Carolina Gold Rice, Benton's country ham, and Surry County sausage now appear prominently.
There's something almost poignant about it, like a jealous older sister whose younger siblings have gone on to become celebrities. One can almost hear Queen Anne saying, "I can cook fresh local peas and serve Benton's ham, too."
The "Rockefeller-style" baked oysters ($9) are an unusual take on the old classic: served on a long glass tray atop a bed of rock salt, the Gulf oysters are huge and topped with spinach and a creamy fontina sauce rather than the traditional hollandaise. It's sort of an odd preparation, but it works. A new relish plate ($9) delivers three cups of spreads: a pungently spiced deviled-egg spread, a dense orange pimento cheese, and a really delicious creamy, smoky trout dip, though the accompanying "homemade wheat thins" don't quite seem worth the fuss.
The Lowcountry nachos ($8) are a testament to the power of our local red peas. Call them crowders or cowpeas or what have you, but all Charleston restaurants should banish black beans and replace them with sea island peas instead. They're still just nachos (topped with little bits of pulled chicken and lots of tomatoes and melted cheese), but they're better because of the red pea salsa.
There are some nice accents on the salad selections, like the Benton's bacon on the iceberg wedge ($7). The beef tenderloin salad ($13) tops standard mixed lettuce and tomatoes with roasted mushrooms and onions slightly charred from the grill and, as a tasty kicker, a "crispy egg" that will leave you wondering how one batters and deep fries an egg (we asked: you soft-boil it first before breading and flash frying.)
There are some noteworthy high points to the new entrée selection, too. The seafood purloo ($17) is truly delicious: local shrimp, fish, and mussels in a rich, slightly spicy orange broth. It's served with savory Carolina Gold Rice that has a pleasingly firm texture and a nice zip of black pepper. The mussels are fat and perfect, and the garnish — a spear of okra split lengthwise — is a nice local touch, too. But it's really that savory orange sauce that makes the dish noteworthy.
Just as sauce can make a dish, it can doom it, too. On the pecan peach chicken entrée ($14), the chicken breast itself is quite good — tender and juicy inside its crispy pecan crust — but the peach jus on top and the creamed corn underneath make it all too sweet and dessert-like.
And that's sort of the theme to the new menu: a lot of good starts that don't quite finish up right. Queen Anne's shrimp and grits ($17) have gotten an upgrade, with the old andouille sausage — that spicy New Orleans interloper — banished in favor of Surry County sausage. The shrimp are the smaller, sweet variety more akin to the creek shrimp old Charlestonians would have used than the big ocean jumbo kind more typically employed these days. Unfortunately, the grits are soft and mushy — almost like scrambled eggs — and the shrimp are swimming in a thick sauce with big chunks of tomato and onion that overwhelm them.
The Mixed Seafood entrée ($19) combines broiled local fish, shrimp, and scallops with green beans, Carolina Gold rice, and a ramekin of béarnaise sauce. The shrimp are good and flavorful, the scallops a little too done, and the fish rather dull and plain. The real puzzler is the béarnaise, a rich tarragon-laden sauce traditionally served with steaks, not seafood. You might call it daring, you might just call it wrong. I lean toward wrong.
With some of Queen Anne's new dishes, you can almost feel the strain to get from line-cooking to high cuisine. The roasted heritage pork loin ($17) is tender and flavorful, and the accompanying "goat cheese smashed potatoes" are rich and creamy, while the red peas and chow-chow are splendid local touches. But there are too-big chunks of potatoes in the smashed potatoes, and instead of a basic pork reduction, it's served in a brown sauce that is a little too sweet and spiked with something extraneous (to my tastebuds it seemed like soy or teriyaki sauce), making the dish stumble just short of the finish line.
Queen Anne's is a more casual restaurant than its fine-dining siblings, but it could still take some cues from them on the service front. At Husk or McCrady's the servers never appear at your table reeking of cigarette smoke, and food runners do not sling your entrées onto the corner of your table with no attempt to clear away the appetizer plates and then dash off as if they had a fire to put out.
The real disappointment is that I see such potential in Queen Anne's Revenge and really wish it would finish the job and transform itself into the restaurant that it ought to be: a truly unique local spot that one could find only in Charleston.
The pirate relics may seem a little corny at first, but when you pause to read the placards, you realize that it's all authentic stuff, and much of it has a direct relation to Lowcountry history. They represent a fascinating time when a colony was being carved out of the swamps, and real pirates regularly sailed into the harbor and terrorized the town.
What better way to complement the decor than with cuisine that is truly representative of our region's history, too? Shrimp and grits and she-crab soup, yes, but Sea Island red peas and purloo, too! The addition of the Painkiller — a classic cocktail made with Pusser's Navy rum — is encouraging as well, since all right-thinking people recognize rum as the true signature liquor of the Lowcountry.
I made three visits recently with the sincere hope that I could declare "if you haven't been to Queen Anne's Revenge in a while, you owe it to yourself to give it another try." I can't declare that quite yet. While using good ingredients from local purveyors and looking back to authentic recipes is a good start, the rest depends upon execution. The changes to the menu are an encouraging step in the right direction, easing the restaurant away from Anywhere U.S.A. and toward distinctive Lowcountry cuisine. It just hasn't quite gone far enough.
I, for one, will continue to check in periodically, if for nothing else than to have a plate of purloo for lunch or a Sunday brunch Painkiller and see what other improvements the future might hold.

Alan Johnson is a native of East Tennessee and grew up in the small town where he now lives. A self-described "child of the 60s," he is a graduate of the University of Tennessee and has been a storyteller since childhood. He has written two previous books, WHEN FOREVER'S OVER and AFTER ALL, about growing up in the '60s. Alan is married to his high school sweetheart and has two sons and two granddaughters. He works as a risk manager and is actively involved in his church and community.
When Forever's Over is a coming of age tale by author J. Alan Johnson. Set during the 1960s in East Tennessee, USA, two mountain town boys make the journey through high school, becoming young men during one of the most turbulent periods of modern American history. Cubby James and Danny MacMahan have enough going on with local dramas in the town of Lincoln and navigating and surviving high school, but the repeated crises of the outside world can't help but encroach on their lives. The Missile Crisis, JFK and the Vietnam War all play their part during this epic tale of trying to adjust to a world that's constantly changing, and fearing the life beyond high school in a time when it's terribly dangerous to be alive.
This was an excellent and truly compelling read. Not overdone in length or details, the plot moves at an appropriate pace through the young men's lives, sometimes focused on the small, trivial moments that build their characters and friendship, and at other times moving off into the larger issues of the USA at that time. I think it also draws smart parallels with the attitudes of today, capturing perfectly a moment when simplistic living started to be overtaken by the wider implications of the modern world. J. Alan Johnson's dialogue is beautifully authentic and the descriptions of the mountains really bring the surroundings to life as the story unfolds. Overall, I would highly recommend When Forever's Over to fans of literary fiction, history and drama.


At this time of year, the impetus and momentum for positive change abounds. Sri Mrinalini Mata calls this season of resolutions a time for rousing "I can consciousness". The new year invites us to awaken to our potential, beckoning us to listen to the heart's call and align with the Truth. About 50% of us actually hear this call and make a resolution to change according to a study by Norcross & colleagues. What am I here for? What is my life about? Am I doing my best? What is the point- what is my point? What do I want in 2015? What changes can I make to be more in line with my values? And what do I need to let go of? In Norcross's study of those who heard the heart's call and made a resolution to change, 77% maintained their resolution for one week, 60% had dropped off by 6 months, and at 2 years, only 19% were still in the game.
First : Be Specific. We mindfully define clearly and specifically what we desire. "To expand my social support network", "gain strength" or "eat more healthy this year" are not specific goals, "to call or text 3 people a day", "to do 20 pushups on my toes by March 1st" or "eat 5 home prepared organic meals weekly" are specific, measurable goals.
Set these intentions mindfully. Take your time. Sit down with a cup of tea, a candle and a journal. Clear some space for just you. Then say a few prayers or read something centering, meditate or take at least three deep diaphragmatic breaths and elongate the exhales. This activates the Vagus nerve which slows the heart rate and calms the nervous system. Then write your question at the top of the page. What am I here for?What do I want in 2015? Allow whatever comes to mind to pour out onto the page. No editing or judging the content, just let go and fill the page(s). Repeat the same process for the next question: What do I need to let go of?
The ritual of contemplative journaling is a powerful one for connecting to the wisdom within. Rituals in general help to ground and balance us as we step into the unknown. Rituals create a sacred space; safety. From this familiar activity we feel secure enough to listen deeply. We hear those truths that we might have known but turned away from. We hear the language of the heart and connect to this Power.
Second: We need a plan to override the inevitable low spots that lie ahead... The mind is tricky, one minute you're all in, the next- not so much. I read once that pain is the touchstone of all spiritual growth, and in my experience I have found this to be true. Contemplative rituals open a powerful portal for positive change, while holding our hands through bumpy growth, ambivalence and recovery. Rituals are a set of committed actions or touchstones performed the same way each time in service of a specific intention. They create a sense of calm in the body and mind through the familiarity of their practice. Rituals keep us committed, focused and grounded, regardless of what is going on around us. They free us from the mental delusion. Often in the new year- we start out with a bang in pursuit of our new lives, but burn out by February or March, because the new goal gets uncomfortable. We think, "Why am I making my life so hard?" Or "I can't do this, it's not worth it" Or some life altering circumstance happens and we somehow get distracted, and slowly our great plan to heed the call of the heart is gone with the wind. Contemplative Rituals help us stay close to the heart's path.
Contemplative rituals help us to attune to and become comfortable in the frequency of faith. When one door closes, another one opens, but sometimes we are in the hallway for a while. Ritual is an important part of manifesting desires, because it assist in reconditioning the mind. By attuning the body and mind to faith, we rewire our brains. The practices keep us tethered to the life we wish to manifest, regardless of what the mind is saying or what this particular day (read: hallway) may look like.
Rituals bond and strengthen one's intention. A bond is something (such as an idea, interest, experience, or feeling) that is shared between people or groups and forms a connection between them (M.Webster definition). The "bond" of ritual is between us and the Divine within. We know from Quantum Physics that thoughts and intentions are powerful forces. We deeply connect and employ unseen forces when we utilize the power of ritual. We are so much bigger than what we see and rituals help us to realize this fact. Practicing rituals makes it possible to take an active part in a relationship with the Divine and live from the heart. Third:Self-Compassion is key. Self-Compassion has been found to be the mediating variable in mindfulness studies; It is how we relate to ourselves which counts. Conceptualize habit-breaking as a process, rather than an event. Relapses in behavior changes are to be expected. In fact, they are the rule and not the exception. According to Prochaska and DiClemente's addiction research, most people go around the wheel of change (see Prochaska and DiClemente's Stages of Change: pre-contemplation, contemplation, action, maintenance, relapse) 3 to 7 times before they ever make lasting changes. Lapses are part of the process, part of getting to know yourself. So you ate a burrito, smoked a cigarette, missed a yoga class or did all three. Instead of quitting or beating yourself up about the lapse, be curious about what lead up to the relapse. Contemplatively journal, be mindful of the experience and set yourself up for success the next time. Its about progress, loving and getting to know ourselves, not perfection. Get back on the horse and ride. Here are some suggested Contemplative Rituals for manifesting in 2015: daily prayer, meditation, chanting mantras, affirmations, singing, painting, pottery, art, contemplative journal writing, meditation, mindfulness, self-compassion, or Loving Kindness meditation, morning spiritual reading, Kundalini kriyas, spiritual group meeting of your choice or daily yoga practice. Most anything can be used as a ritual --- you can create your own meaningful contemplative ritual. The most important piece is not necessarily the practiced behavior, but the frequency with which it is practiced (ideally daily) and the reason or intent behind the ritual. What is my intention? To what service or what end am I here doing this behavior? These practices will carry the fickle mind through rough waters and uncomfortable hallways and into a deeply meaningful life! Keep the Faith.

Q: Induction Proof: Define the sequence $ \ \ T_1, T_2, T_3,...\ \ $ by $\ \ T_1=T_2=T_3=1 \ \ $ and $ \ \ T_{k+1}= T_{k}+T_{k-1}+T_{k-2}$. I would appreciate if someone could comment my solution of the task below:
Define the sequence $ \ \ T_1, T_2, T_3,...\ \ $ by $\ \ T_1=T_2=T_3=1 \ \ $ and $ \ \ T_{k+1}= T_{k}+T_{k-1}+T_{k-2}$.
Prove that
$\ \ T_{k}≤2^k\ \ $for all $k=1, 2, 3, ...$
The first few numbers are
$$LHS =T_1=1≤2^1=2= RHS$$
$$T_2=1≤2^2=4$$
$$T_3=1≤2^3=8$$ $$T_4=3≤2^4=16$$ $$T_5=5≤2^5=32$$
Base case
When $k=1$ we have that $\ \ LHS=T_{1}=1≤2^1=2=RHS\ \ $ the proposition $P(1)$ is true. When $k=2$ we have that $\ \ LHS=T_{2}=1≤2^2=4=RHS\ \ $ the proposition $P(2)$ is true. When $k=3$ we have that $\ \ LHS=T_{3}=1≤2^3=8=RHS\ \ $ the proposition $P(3)$ is true.
Induction step
Let the integer $n≥3$ be given and assume that the propositon $P(k)$ is true for $k=n$ and for $k=n-1$ and for $k=n-2$. Then
$$ T_{n+1}=T_{n}+T_{n-1}+T_{n-2} $$
$$ \ \ \ \ \ ≤2^{n}+2^{n-1}+2^{n-2} $$
$$ \ \ \ \ \ =2^{n-2}(2^{2}+2+1) $$
$$ \ \ \ \ \ <2^{n-2}(2^{2}+2+2) $$
$$=2^{n-2}\cdot 2^{3}$$
$$=2^{n+1}.$$
$$ ∴ T_n≤2^{n}⟹T_{n+1}≤2^{n+1}.$$
Conclusion
By induction principle it follows that $T_n≤2^n$.
Now, to my question. Have I done this induction proof properly? Something missing? Something too much?? Any thing? What??

A: Here's a more general result.
If
$t_{n+1}
=\sum_{k=0}^m a_kt_{n-k}
$
if,
for some $c>0, r > 0$
and some $n_0 > m$,
we have
$|t_{n_0-k}|
\le cr^{n_0-k}
$
for $k = 0$ to $m$,
and
$r^{m+1}
\ge \sum_{k=0}^m |a_k|r^{m-k}
$
then,
for all $n > n_0$,
$|t_{n}|
\le cr^n
$.
Proof.
$\begin{array}\\
|t_{n+1}|
&=|\sum_{k=0}^m a_kt_{n-k}|\\
&\le\sum_{k=0}^m |a_kt_{n-k}|\\
&\le\sum_{k=0}^m |a_k|\,|t_{n-k}|\\
&\le\sum_{k=0}^m |a_k|\,cr^{n-k}\\
&= c\sum_{k=0}^m |a_k|r^{n-k}\\
&= cr^{n-m}\sum_{k=0}^m |a_k|r^{m-k}\\
&\le cr^{n-m}r^{m+1}\\
&= cr^{n+1}\\
\end{array}
$
In this case,
$m=2, a_{0, 1, 2} = 1, 1, 1$
so we want
$r^3
\ge r^2+r+1$
and this is true for
$r = 2$.
The polynomials
$r^m
-\sum_{k=0}^m a_kr^{m-k}
$
and
$r^m
-\sum_{k=0}^m |a_k|r^{m-k}
$
are known as the
characteristic polynomials
of the recurrence
(usually the form
without absolute values
is used).
Look it up.


Career of British model Cara Delevingne, fashion style icon of our generation, is the dream of any girl, whose life is connected to the podium: the rapid and highly successful. In addition to her memorable, distinctive appearance, Cara there is something far more valuable than long legs and expressive eyes — this is a real charm and charisma.
It all started of the cooperation with the world-famous asos.com — the online shop for footwear, apparel and accessories. Delevingne was a model, display, as well as many other colleagues, the range of things from asos. Then came the landmark period Burberry, a person is punishable by up to now.
Comparing it with other models, the popularity of which is about the same, Cara stands against the background of his smiling, carefree and obviously teen spirit. Until she puts on high heels, while her pretty face does not acquire other features by make-up, it is clearly reigns hooligan mood, unique street style and enthusiasm.
Most often it is Cara Delevingne vengeance hamming for the cameras, expertly mowing only one eye. Always friendly, always cheerful, spontaneous, she did not like the models that sometimes in life remain the same poker face, as on the catwalk.
Cara Delevingne: Looks that Rock!
Jeans, skinny leather pants, loose trousers, laconic shirts, T—shirts with inscriptions extravagant and brutal black leather jackets, colorful bombers — the most favorite Cara Delevingne clothing style for every day. In color clothes models are very discreet.
The daily mischievous rebel Cara looks contains mostly black, gray and white colors. However, Cara does not waive bright prints in the form of a green plaid pants on, colorful ironic drawings on jumpers and gold rocker on the bomber. In addition, this naughty beauty loves to wear orange, blue, dark blue, green knit cap, black or white reperskie caps and a la men's hats.
For leather trousers and jeans Cara Delevingne prefers to wear sneakers and rough boots Army Style. As accessories to the image of a top model chooses leather backpacks or bulky bags with a variety of metal ornaments and multi—colored glasses in a frame.
But on the red carpet, social events (and now — and in the Victoria's Secret runway as the newly created angel) Cara Delevingne styles turn into an image of graceful icon of beauty with the habits of cat. Heavily made-up eyes and shiny, smoothly coiffed hair, supplemented luxurious dress, really changed her posture, and look, and miners.
In this case her style description doesn't have a word «hooligan» anymore. Instantly disappears naughty girl from the neighbourhood, and there is a luxury charismatic diva. This is its specificity, the ability to change.
In most cases, in everyday life and Cara choose between displays a simple total black or black-n-white, wears tight jeans and short leather jacket, do not use makeup and not wearing heels. Yet, compared to other models, it does not look like everyone else, it is thanks to the incredible inner light and some net positive energy it emits.
If you ask style tips Cara Delevingne, she would say that the secret to a harmonious coexistence of elements of sport, grunge, sveg. Or just grimaced one of her charming grimaces!
Cara Delevingne in oversize sweater and high waisted jeans shows us how to harmoniously combine cockiness and femininity.

Those are great, kacyds! Never saw those before!
Thanks for the additional info, kannik!
Australia has been conducting Antarctic expeditions since 1911; the first was led by Australian geologist Douglas Mawson.
Mawson Station was established in his honor during the 1953-55 Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition led by Philip G. Law.
This souvenir sheet of four stamps (stickers) was issued by the expedition (not the Australian government) to commemorate the event.
This is a publicity label for cigarettes manufactured by the Waldorf-Astoria Cigarette Company in Germany.
The company was established in 1906 and named after Johann Jakob Astoria, who was born in 1763 in Waldorf. Astoria eventually immigrated to the United States, where he became the richest man in the world.
Employing about 1,000 people in the early 1900's, the company's outdated production methods and a harsh global economic situation caused it to fall upon hard times. The company was liquidated in 1929.
This publicity label urges people to visit L'Exposition Gastronomique Luxembourg (loosely translated as the Luxembourg Cooking Exposition) in 1932.
In actuality, the word "gastronomique" (gastronomy) refers to the relationship between cooking and culture.
The exposition was held annually in the spring. The 1932 event ran from March 26 to April 3, 1932.
William Lever, founder of Lever Brothers Company in England, selected the brand name "Sunlight" for his first venture into soap-making industry in the mid-1880's.
Enjoying great success, he started production in Germany in 1899. A few years later, the German version of the brand – Sunlicht Seife – was created in 1903.
One of the product's catch-phrases was "Leichte Arbeit – Voller Erfolg" (No Sweat – Great Results).
Appearing in the market for the first time in 1904, Vim scouring powder was one of the first products created by William Lever, founder of Lever Brothers Co.
Vim was produced at Port Sunlight near Liverpool, England and was sold in Germany as well, from where these publicity labels originated.
These labels tout the "finery" aspect of the product, obviously attempting to appeal to housewives.
This advertising poster stamp (c. 1911) publicizes Fay's True Mineral Lozenges fast-acting mineral pellets (pastilles). Liquid ingredients are poured into pellet forms then dried.
The active ingredients are slowly released during chewing or sucking. They are utilized for treatment of "gegen husten" (coughs) and "heiserkeit" (hoarseness), exactly like the throat lozenges of today.
The publicity label illustrates a physician administering a Fay's pastille to a woman.
The original Winchester rifle, Model 1866, was famous for its lever-action mechanism that enabled users to fire off a number of shots before having to reload.
Pre-1964 Winchesters generally command higher prices than later models due to drastic design changes in the weapons.
This publicity label was probably issued in the 1940s to 1950s.
Boot wax popularity closely parallels the rise in leather and shoe production, especially during the First and Second World Wars, which saw increased sales due to the production of army boots.
This publicity label promotes the use of Sirocco brand shoe polish and touts the ease of keeping one's shoes in tip-top condition and appearance.
The German catch-phrase, "Kinderleicht wird mit Sirocco Glanz erzeugt" translates literally as "Child's play is generated by Sirocco gloss," which simply means that Sirocco gloss makes childsplay out of polishing one's shoes.
I could find nothing in my research about the Sirocco company that manufactured the shoe wax, or when this poster stamp was in use. I would guess the 1930s-1940s would be a fair estimate.
This publicity label promotes the Kieffer company's glass-canning apparatus manufactured in the 1920s and 1930s for use in the home.
Hence the use of servants displaying the canning devices and the company name.
I believe the company was owned by the family of Karl Kieffer, who later was a contributor to the German "economic miracle" and served on the board of Pfaff Industries in Germany.
This is a poster stamp (c. 1920s) publicizing Pelikan ink, produced by Günther Wagner, a chemist who took over Carl Hornemann's Paint and Ink Factory of Hanover, Germany, in 1871.
In 1878, Wagner renamed the company "Pelikan," in honor of his family crest – the pelican symbolized the company's allegiance and protection of its employees, whom Wagner considered to be family.
Although Pelikan produced ink, it wasn't until 1929 that the company began manufacturing and selling its innovative piston-fill fountain pens.
I`m still using Pelikan ink for the occasional bit of calligraphy that I do!
The slogan, "Beste Corsetmarke der Welt" translates as "Best Corsetmaker in the World." And, they obviously think their product is made for Princesse (a princess).
Unfortunately, I am unfamiliar with what "RFC" means, but I'm presuming it's the name of the company.
It's a beautifully created and executed publicity label in the German language; I just wish I could find more information on it.
The centenary of Sicilian stamps was celebrated in Palermo on October 16-26, 1959 at Sicilia 59, an international philatelic exhibition co-sponsored by the Unione Filatelica Siciliana, Palermo and the Italian Federation of Philatelic Societies under the patronage of the Federation Internationale de Philatelie (FIP).
Their publicity poster stamp reproduces Sicily's 1859 issue -- the 2-grana blue imperforate stamp picturing King Ferdinand II (Scott #13g). Ferdinand, born Ferdinando Carlo in 1810 in Palermo, was King of the Two Sicilies from 1830 to 1859.
Additionally, the exhibition honored the 150th anniversary of the birth of Tommaso Aloysio Juvara (1809-1875), the noted Sicilian artist and engraver.
This label publicizes The Electrical Exposition and Motor Show of 1914, October 7-17, at Grand Central Palace.
Unfortunately, I could not find any information about the show itself or its history. The only thing I can add is that Grand Central Palace is in New York City.
Quite a few countries conduct anti-tuberculosis campaigns. One of the best-known examples is the American Lung Association's Christmas Seals program that began in 1907.
The funds collected by citizen donation are used for research and treatment of lung diseases. And yet, despite these efforts, tuberculosis still is a significant health hazard in many parts of the world.
This seal was issued by the Colombian Red Cross in conjunction with the Anti-Tuberculosis League of Colombia. Unfortunately, I do not have any further information on the seal.
These poster stamps publicize the August Leonhardi Ink Company of Dresden, Germany; Tinten u. Farbbander translates as "ink and ribbon." The stamp designs picture a boy with school bag and ink bottle.
This same design was issued in various colors, including red and blue (both pictured), green, and black.
Christian August Leonhardi's 16th Century (1854) chemical plant in Dresden, Germany, produced Alizarine ink. Leonhardi added Alizarin dye, which gave the ink a beautiful blue-green color that when dried turned deep black.
Because it did not contain gum Arabic as other inks did, it was free flowing, indestructible and resistant to acids, fumes and time. It was perfectly suited to steel pens.
Very nice and informative explanation for the Leonhardi stamps.
Since Krash earlier posted somewhere (maybe in the earlier Stamp Bear forum) a lot of info on Alizarin being red, I thought I'd look up what was going on with Leonhardi's name for this ink.
Turns out he named it Alizarine ink because alizarine was a modern catchy name, though the color was actually from added indigo dye.
The United Charity Institutions (UCI) of Jerusalem was founded in 1903 and raises funds to help maintain 13 institutions in Jerusalem, including libraries, schools and free kitchens.
The organization issued this charity label picturing the Israeli city of Netanya (also spelled "Nathania"), which is located in the country's northern center district. Netanya is the capital of the Sharon Plain.
I do not know what structure is depicted on the label, or when it was issued, although I would guess it was published in the 1950s or 1960s.
UCI Jerusalem (aka "Etz Chaim Tora Center Jerusalem") is currently located in Brooklyn, New York. It's a private social service and welfare organization with annual revenues of $500,000+ and a staff of two. It is classified as a U.S. tax-exempt organization by the Internal Revenue Service.


Tiger's Realm Coal (ASX: TIG) has provided a report on activities undertaken at its coal projects in far eastern Russia during the quarter ended 31 December 2016. TIG's primary activities for the quarter were the completion of the 2016 development programme for Project F Phase One with initial coal production commencing late December 2016.
The company has completed its 2016 capital development programme ahead of mining and initial coal production.
The port to pit road to allow coal haulage through the winter (December to early May).
The on-site mobile equipment workshop.
The new site office building.
Upgrades to the exploration camp to provide additional accommodation.
A laboratory located at the Port.
Expansion of the port coal stockpiling area.
Tigers Realm Coal (TIG) has reported that during the quarter first coal has been mined and trucked from Project F to the coal stockpiles at the TIG owned Beringovsky Port. Mining of waste commenced in the second week of December. Mining and trucking of coal at low volumes only on day shift commenced on 19 December. Thermal coal delivered to port and waste production was as follows. ROM coal produced 4 000 t waste mined 47 000 BCM.
The Project F Phase One development works commenced in early August. During a four and a half month period, TIG completed construction of its winter road from the pit to the port, and constructed the site workshop, office, camp upgrades and an analytical laboratory. Additional mining and coal haulage equipment was procured and delivered to site, and key workforce was recruited primarily from the local community and Far East Russia. Coal mining has commenced in a part of the pit where the waste to coal stripping ratio for the first 12 months of production is less than 2:1 (BCM waste: t coal). Mining is being carried out with a fleet comprising a 40 t excavator on coal, a 70 t excavator on waste, five 40 t in pit trucks, a grader and two 70 t tracked dozers. Coal haulage on the winter road from the pit to the port is being undertaken with eight 30 t capacity Scania trucks.

Honda refreshes the SH125 and SH150. Boosts fuel economy.
Unlike their Japanese counterparts, Honda is taking scooters very seriously these days. And not big maxi-style touring scooters either. We're talking bikes from 50cc through 150cc — the butter zone for what a scooter is meant to be. The long-running Metropolitan got a significant refresh, and Honda added two new 150cc models here in the USA: the PCX, and the SH150i. The latter bike, and it's 125cc sibling available elsewhere in the world, is built in Italy with one thing in mind: dominating the european scooter market. That's exactly what it's done, shaming Piaggio on its home turf.
Newly updated versions of the SH boast some key upgrades. From increased under-seat storage (now able to accommodate a full-face helmet), to standard ABS brakes, and a new flat floor. However, the real upgrades on the latest SH comes in the way of weight savings, friction reduction technologies, and an all-new engine system called "enhanced Smart Power" or "eSP" for short. The system uses a start/stop system similar to what you'll find on many hybrid cars. The result? According to Honda, the SH125 now boasts fuel economy upwards of 112 mpg, while its 150cc big brother hits 103 mpg. Typical "your results may vary" disclaimers aside, those are impressive numbers. This new SH150i would be getting a full 12 mpg better than the current model. Finding 10 mpg in something already that efficient is nothing to scoff at.
No word yet on when this updated version of the SH150i will be available here in The States, but we'd expect it at least by spring of next year as a 2013 model. For Europe's best-selling scooter, it looks like Honda is just getting started.

The design of these modern speakers consists of a series of hexagonal tiles in the color of your choice. Each tile hides high end technical details behind its removable grille – an amplifier, a smart hub and acoustic dampers. The intelligent collaboration of visuals with the tech offers unique stylistic opportunities for all interior design aficionados. In addition, the visuals of the BeoSound Shape could be customized via seamlessly joined patterns, fabrics and colors.
The trendy design of the BeoSound Shape is quite on point with the contemporary interior fashion. The styling credentials of these modern speakers have been awarded to a Danish textile designer, Kvadrat. The color schemes come in a range beautiful monochromatic type cover fabrics. Furthermore, each color comes instilled with its customized texture and altogether, the visual dynamic is truly something inspirational.
The BeoSound Shape comes in a set of eight tiles – 4 speakers, 1 core and amplifier each plus two dampers at a cost of about €4,000 (£3,400). Of course the open-ended design of these modern speakers leaves room for more tile fittings if you wish. The tiles are purported to be sound absorbing. The dampening material could even be removed and the empty case could be used to cover plug sockets.
These modern speakers have been designed with an interactive user experience in mind. So when you go about installing your BeoSound system, it can always be a DIY venture.
The innovation of the BeoSound Shape opens up avenues for new wireless audio-interior technology and design. The hybrid nature of these modern speakers allows for maximum design utilization in the form of both aesthetics as well as function.
Bang & Olufsen have designed the BeoSound with an algorithm called 'Band on the Wall' that easily spread audio acoustics across the full width of these speakers no matter the position. The comprehensive technology of these modern speakers is an invaluable addition to the genre of contemporary innovations.

Q: how to rebuild totality base oracle 10g via fichier dmp What method can yoy suggest me to reconstruct the totality of my oracle database 10.0.2.5 on another windows server (backup server)?
Some detail:

*

*oracle database 10g release 10.2.0.5.0.

*windows server 2003 32 bit.

thanks

A: Well, it depends on what you actually have in the DMP file. Is it the full database export, a schema export, ...? "Totally" suggests that it is a full export. If that's so,

*

*install Oracle and create the database

*create tablespaces

*import the DMP file, e.g.
imp system/pwd full=y file=fichier.dmp log=fichier.log

There are numerous examples of how to do that, there's no point in copy/pasting it over here. I suggest you Google for it.

The Road to Hell Is Paved With Technology Problems – NCTE, Part 3
December 1, 2015 By Laura
So, Friday night, Marilyn Singer pondered whether the road to hell is indeed paved with good intentions, but Saturday morning I determined the the road to hell is paved with bad technology!
I was part of three panels at NCTE, and I was thrilled to be part of each. Alyson Beecher, who put together the Revved for Research panel, did an enormous amount of work ahead of time. She rounded up us panelists, made sure we wouldn't overlap too much, corresponded so that we all kind of knew each other, put together an image to share on social media, and more. I felt like that panel would probably be the smoothest and most fun, just because of how invested everyone was in it.
And then technology stepped in. But didn't step up.
Alyson, along with Deb Parryman, brought so much tech stuff it wasn't even funny. They had multiple versions of things, back-ups, and dongles galore. And we couldn't get our slides working. From about 10 minutes before our session was scheduled to begin to 10 minutes after, Alyson, Deb, and the Convention Center tech people (yes, more than one had to be called) worked tirelessly.
The attendees were getting a little restless, so I told Alyson I could do my part without slides while they kept working on tech.
My daughter Annabelle painted me a Rock Can Be… volcano scarf.
Say "technology!"
Say it again, because it's still not working!
My view for much of the beginning:>/
Sarah Albee had great bug and poop stories.
Alyson Beecher and Deb Perryman
Loree Griffin Burns shared great moments and quotes from her travels.
I loved hearing about Chris' research and the big role interviewing people played.
Laura Purdie Salas, Alyson Beecher, Sarah Albee, Loree Griffin Burns, and Chris Barton–we survived!
I felt so bad, because it was so stressful for Alyson, after all the work she'd put in! She handled it like a pro and was really just worried about the effect it would have for the rest of us speakers. She did a quick intro of everyone, and I started my talk. When I got to a part where I really needed the photo on the slide to illustrate what I was saying, I just gestured grandly toward the screen and said things like, "Imagine, if you will, beautiful golden ash leaves with the Minnesota autumn sun shining brilliantly through them!" The attendees (including my Can Be… editor Carol Hinz!) were very good sports and laughed and played along. Luckily, I only had to do that a couple of times :>)
About halfway through my part, the slides appeared! Yay! I finished up my talk on the research I'd like to do versus the research I'm able to do, and how I often use very non-exotic methods that teachers can use in their classrooms. Then I got to relax and enjoy the other speakers. Everyone did an amazing job. I really enjoyed learning from other writers and from educators on the three panels I was on last week. Whether it was Loree Griffin Burns' dedication to on-site, hands-on research and how that has shaped her books; Sarah Albee's tales of roasting crickets and trying to keep kids from eating them until they were on-camera for her book trailer; or Chris Barton's stories of the meticulous research behind his history-based nonfiction–I left wanting to read (or re-read) every book they mentioned! Everyone was disappointed that Sy Montgomery, who was going to be joining us from Miami via Skype, was the sole casualty of the tech problems we had. She was there and waiting to participate, but nobody could get that fed into the projection :>(
I felt so honored to be speaking at NCTE, and I send out thanks to everyone who invited me, spoke with me, and attended our sessions. It was awesome to be part of this learning community! And thank you, Alyson and Deb, for not letting tech get the best of us!

Donna Smith says
Sounds like it still went well – enough! Hate, hate when tech doesn't work when " you're on!"
Yeah, you know, the community of the room felt great. Like "we're all going through this together, so we'll make the best of it." It's always a bit heartstopping when the tech fails, though.
lindamartinandersen says
You handled that with poise and grace! So glad you participated! I thought of you yesterday when I rode behind a cement mixer. I wanted to photograph it and send it to you for a 15 word poem. Maybe you can do that sometime. My memory clicked on and I began thinking what it reminded me of. Your influence is working! Thank you!
I love this, Linda! A cement mixer–yes! Makes me think of an eggbeater, and I immediately want to write a poem about the recipe for a basketball court on a playground. I'm so glad the 15 WOL poems are giving a creative person like you even another avenue of creativity. Time to start writing and sharing poems;>)

Good morning Laura and many thanks for the guilt you have managed to remove from my shoulders. I grew up hearing the "road to hell" admonishment, and in turn found it coming from my mouth. I'm going to put that term in the recycle bin along with "round tuits." Recycle as opposed to trash you understand. One never knows. I'M FREE!!!!!
Hooray for getting rid of childhood baggage:D
PS – I forgot to commend you on your willingness step up and allow the session to begin while others worked on technical problems. You are a brave soul.

That's great, Laura! The show must go on! 🙂

What a pro you are, pointing to the empty screen and getting the audience to imagine the images! Sounds like it was a terrific conference.
Hehe–well, necessity and invention and all that. It WAS a terrific conference:>)

Q: LDA with tm package in R using bigrams I have a csv with every row as a document. I need to perform LDA upon this. I have the following code :
library(tm)
library(SnowballC)
library(topicmodels)
library(RWeka)

X = read.csv('doc.csv',sep=",",quote="\"",stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

corpus <- Corpus(VectorSource(X))
corpus <- tm_map(tm_map(tm_map(corpus, stripWhitespace), tolower), stemDocument)
corpus <- tm_map(corpus, PlainTextDocument)
BigramTokenizer <- function(x) NGramTokenizer(x, Weka_control(min = 2, max = 2))
dtm <- DocumentTermMatrix(corpus, control = list(tokenize=BigramTokenizer,weighting=weightTfIdf))

At this point checking the dtm object gives
<<DocumentTermMatrix (documents: 52, terms: 477)>>
Non-/sparse entries: 492/24312
Sparsity           : 98%
Maximal term length: 20
Weighting          : term frequency - inverse document frequency (normalized) (tf-idf)

Now I proceed to perform LDA upon this
rowTotals <- apply(dtm , 1, sum)
dtm.new   <- dtm[rowTotals> 0, ]
g = LDA(dtm.new,10,method = 'VEM',control=NULL,model=NULL)

I get the following error
Error in LDA(dtm.new, 10, method = "VEM", control = NULL, model = NULL) :
  The DocumentTermMatrix needs to have a term frequency weighting

The Document Term matrix was clearly weighted. What am I doing wrong ?
Kindly Help.

A: The Document Term matrix needs to have a term frequency weighting:
DocumentTermMatrix(corpus,
                   control = list(tokenize = BigramTokenizer,
                             weighting = weightTf))
