Someday I'll Sleep Autism Blogs: Susan G Komen is No Longer Outlawed in our House!
Edit to Add: Komen reversed their decision today, Friday, February 3rd. Avoid them at all costs. They fund a company that hands out class 1 carcinogens to women. So much for fighting cancer.
There are a lot of companies we avoid in this house. We don't buy anything from Kraft, or the 100 or so other names they operate under (for example: A1, Country Time, Chips Ahoy, Cadbury, Balance bar, Fig Newton, Capri Sun, Maxwell House, Jell-O, Kool-Aid, Nabisco, Ritz, Toblerone, Triscuit, Teddy Grahams, Oscar Mire, Velveeta and Philadelphia (cream cheese) to name a few). We avoid Nestle. We've given up Pepsi products altogether. And we bypass the table with Girl Scouts selling cookies in front of the supermarket (my own thoughts on this particular boycott are here).
These are all fairly recent changes that we've made, since it was revealed that these companies used fetal stem cells in their food testing, last spring (minus the Girl Scouts... that began a couple of years ago, because of the policies given in the articles sited). But the above companies weren't the beginning of my super market boycott by a long shot.
No, my first boycott was any item with the name Susan G. Komen on it... and I'll admit that I hated to have to do it. You see, I'm all for fighting breast cancer. But just as much as I'm for fighting breast cancer, I'm against funding Planned Parenthood. I know firsthand that the abortion giant is evil, having volunteered their through my "Catholic" college back before I was pro-life, and there's no way I'm going to be putting a penny towards helping them if I can avoid it.
So I would scan the items that I put into my cart for that little pink ribbon, and if I saw it, I'd quickly examine the little badge, hoping against hope that it was for some other organization. More often than not it was for Komen, and we'd begin looking for alternatives, as we placed the item back on the shelf.
Yesterday, it was announced, that Komen is cutting off funding to Planned Parenthood. The charity says that it's because they have a new policy that forbids donating to organizations that are under local, state or federal investigation (go Lila Rose!). Will it last? I have no idea. I hope so. I pray that it does! But for a least a little while, I will be buying products without carefully examining the little pink ribbon!
And of course, if this does change, I'll let you know as soon as I know. But I sure hope it doesn't!
This got me so excited yesterday I called people to share it with them, like it was my own personal news. SO SO EXCITED. I would love to do some of their races or buy their products, or wear pink t-shirts, but I never could. I wrote them an email to tell them how happy I was! I don't know anyone that supports Komen...until now!!
Apparently they are getting slammed with negative e-mails... write to news@komen.org to express your gratitude!
Since at least some studies show a correlation between taking oral contraceptives and breast cancer, and between abortion and breast cancer, it has always seemed strange to me that Susan G Komen would partner with PP anyway. I know that some of the recent studies deny the connections, but in at least one case the study of abortion and breast cancer had some short comings in their methodology. In any case, there are no studies I'm aware of that say that abortion or oral contraceptive use helps prevent breast cancer.
In light of recent advice that breast exams are not that helpful in finding tumors, it would seem to me that Susan G Komen could find a better organization to partner with than PP. Perhaps La Leche League? After all breastfeeding for long periods (i.e. a year or more) has been associated with a lower breast cancer risk. LLL provides support to mothers who are breastfeeding and helps them to achieve their breastfeeding goals. Seems like a much better match for SGK.
Oh, and I like you had been boycotting them. Glad to not have to for the moment.
SO glad to hear that!!! I'm a little disappointed that ALL didn't send an email out about it!
The sad part? I was two seconds from sharing the article on my facebook and I didn't... out of fear of combox rant type stuff.
This was AMAZING news to wake up to today. I seriously couldn't be happier. Some of my more "liberal" friends on facebook are upset and are accusing Komen of "politicizing" women's health, and they're super upset since Planned Parenthood offers mammograms (allegedly..I keep hearing mixed messages on whether or not they actually DO provide them). Can I just say -- WHATEVER! In my opinion, if Planned Parenthood was so concerned about REAL women's health -- like mammograms -- they would open a clinic JUST for mammograms! Or for cancer screenings! They would get no argument from me. God knows they have enough money, what with their $1 billion in profits from last year. Instead, PP opens abortion mills that may or may not do mammograms on the side. So much for women's health!
My husband is very anti-boycott... but this was one he had no problem doing. I saw the news yesterday and cheered. He did too.
Is there a link with all the companies that should be boycotted?
I'm very glad that they pulled their funding for PP, but I still don't like Komen for other reasons, including the fact that they bully small charities out of using the phrase "for the cure".
Basically they ignore the idea of prevention of breast cancer, promote products that contain known carcinogens (fast food AND selling their own carcinogenic perfume on QVC), and sue small charities and fundraisers over the term "for the cure." They don't seem to care much for anything other than making money.
OK, after posting enough negative stuff about Komen, I have to post this article stating that they've also cut off funding for embryonic stem cell research. Apparently one of their new admins is a pro-life advocate!
"'Komen supports research on the isolation, derivation, production, and testing of stem cells that are capable of producing all or almost all of the cell types of the developing body and may result in improved understanding of or treatments for breast cancer, but are derived without creating a human embryo or destroying a human embryo,' Komen says."
I'm actually kind of excited about this!
I sadly do not trust that the changes will last. So no donations from me for Komen. I'm also not very enamored of how little of the money they take in actually goes to cancer research. While I may not worry so much about avoiding the pink ribbon products, they will have to do better for me to get excited at what could be temporary.
Agreed with Amanda and Ann - that's still why I intend to shirk Komen products. Until they get their heads back on straight, they won't be getting the nod from me.
Miserable job they do as a "charity."
But at least they're beginning to get back on track!
It's unfortunate, that Komen just reversed their decision!!


I've been thinking along the same lines. For example, I recently finished Unscientific America: How Scientific Illiteracy Threatens Our Future, written by my friend Chris Mooney and his co-author, marine scientist Sheril Kirshenbaum.
Now, when I first saw the title, before the book was published, I had a certain pre-conceived notion about what to expect. I figured it would help document just how little Americans understand about science, and why that's a bad thing for all of us.
But that's not really the point of the book at all. Rather, Chris and Sheril have written a great book about the disconnect — political, cultural, journalistic — between the scientific community and everyone else. It doesn't matter whether the typical American has memorized the periodic table or can explain string theory; what matters is whether the typical American appreciates the role of science in modern life, and places a high value on scientific inquiry and integrity.
It's a fascinating, informative book, which I highly recommend.

She Didn't Know She Black?! 'Little White Lie' Documentary Explores Woman Whose Family Hid Her Bi-Racial Heritage
CSJ
How Black Stars Are Redefining The Legacy Of 'The Great White Way'
Why We Are Here For Michelle Obama's Candid Conversations On Race
Chris Rock Reflects On The Death Of Freddie Gray: '[How He Died] Never Happens To White Kids.'
I took one look at Lacey Schwartz and knew that she was Black (okay. Half-black!) So how was it that for nearly her entire childhood and teenage years she was led to believe she was (only, entirely) White? It sounds astonishing–because it is–and Schwartz was brave enough to place herself as the case study for the documentary film Little White Lie that explores the truth about her once hidden biracial identity.
MUST READ: Biracial Teen Changes Her Name From 'Keisha' To 'Kylie' To Avoid Racist Bullies
Schwartz grew up identifying as White as she raised by her White Jewish mother Peggy in Woodstock, NY, a town that averages at being 94% Caucasian. It's plausible that she was completely out of touch with Black people and "urban" culture due to these circumstances, but in watching the trailer that is a montage of clips from her youth and current life as a 37-year-old post Harvard grad, homegirl couldn't tell that she was different? Even with all those wild curls? To her credit, she began to feel something was up in her late teens, and the breakthrough came when she was accepted into Georgetown University's Black Student Alliance–solely based on her admission photo. Years later, after Schwartz had embraced her black side, she returned to Woodstock to investigate with her beloved family members about being kept in the dark about her African-American father. Little White Lie looks to be full of revelatory moments.
Prior to her collegiate years, Schwartz was "passing" and "passing" was a joyless trend towards avoiding the harsh realities of racism that was practiced (a lot) from the 18th century up until the middle of the 20th. For further background information on this, Little White Lie is preceded by the following notable works: the 1929 novel Passing by Nella Larsen, the 1959 old Hollywood classic Imitation of Life, and most recently, the research book A Chosen Exile: A History of Racial Passing in America by Allyson Hobbs.
Little White Lie is set to air on PBS in 2015.

hello ladka, thanks for coming by and commenting. you are right, the yarn is beautiful. I suppose is is mordanted? I didd a little sample (solar)with a dried sprig of stJohns wort, it made a varied yellowish colour- not great, but you can see the potential. You are lucky to find it growing near you!
Yes, the yarn is alum mordanted. I read in Rita Buchanan's book and learnt by experience that St. John's wort flowers develops its full and variegated colour potential on alum mordanted wool. I have also tried it on silk: on unmordanted scarves it gives dark melanzane-brown (if this is the English expression for the colour, I am not sure), and on mordanted silk it gives beautiful old golds (and yellows in exhaust baths).
Hello ladka, thanks for coming by and commenting.Your wool is very beautiful.
mmmm...I like your variegated yarn very much. We have a bumper crop of St. John's Wort this year; I'm going to try your dyeing method.
Hi Beth, try dyeing with the flowers only, following Rita Buchanan's recipe, and you will get four different colours with only alum and no mordant. The green tops without the flowers also give lovely colours, and so do the exhausts.
You may also want to look at my older post down here where I used whole plants just prior to bloom, and my last year's skeins at http://workingwithfelt.ning.com/profile/Ladka, go down the page to My Photos. The picture is rather poor (I used my mobile phone), since then I didn't yet have a camera.

Home News Celebrate Canadian Agricultural Safety Week by Supporting Seniors
Celebrate Canadian Agricultural Safety Week by Supporting Seniors
CASA; 21 February 2018
Canadian Agricultural Safety Week 2018 runs from March 11-17.
Winnipeg, Manitoba, February 21, 2018: This March, the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA), the Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) and presenting sponsor Farm Credit Canada (FCC) are encouraging all Canadians to be part of the AgSafe Family this Canadian Agricultural Safety Week (CASW).
Canadian Agricultural Safety Week is an annual public awareness campaign focusing on the importance of safe agriculture. In 2018 organizers are focusing on supporting senior farmers through resources, safety advice articles, infographics, and more. This is the last year of the Be an AgSafe Family CASW campaign that focused on children (2016), adults (2017) and now in 2018, seniors.
"Canadian Ag Safety Week really asks farm families to have conversations about safety," says Marcel Hacault, CASA's Executive Director. "Everyone has a role on the farm, the AgSafe family is a team, and everyone can contribute in a safe and productive way."
As a part of CASW, organizers have produced a number of resources focusing on senior producers including infographics, and a series on mental well-being. 2018 also marks the second year of the AgSafe Ribbon campaign. The AgSafe Ribbon campaign celebrates the AgSafe Family and raises awareness about the importance of farm safety.
"The farm family is the most important support group in terms of keeping each other safe. By having the whole family work together and ensuring that everyone keeps safety in mind, we can help prevent farm accidents from happening," says Ron Bonnett, President of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. "Raising awareness through initiatives like the ribbon campaign will help to keep safety on the top of everyone's minds while they are out in the fields."
Farm Credit Canada is a long-time supporter of CASW and other farm safety programs, including the Safety Day Coordinator fund that provides support to communities that host safety day events for children.
"Safety on the farm doesn't just happen; it's a result of hard work by industry associations, government, industry advocates and of course farmers," says Michael Hoffort, FCC president and CEO.
"That's why we're proud to support Canadian Agricultural Safety Week and to partner with CASA. It provides the information and resources producers need to make farms safer for everyone, including children and also seniors, many of whom are active farm operators."
For more details on Canadian Agricultural Safety week visit agsafetyweek.ca.
Canadian Agricultural Safety Week takes place every year during the third week of March. For more information about CASW, media kits or resources, please visit agsafetyweek.ca. Media kits include press releases, feature farmer stories, safety advice articles, public service announcements, graphics and more.
CASW 2018 is presented by Farm Credit Canada and brought to you by the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture with assistance from the Government of Canada through Growing Forward 2, a federal, provincial and territorial initiative. In 2018, CASW sponsors include long-time corporate sponsor Farm Credit Canada, as well as CN, Dow AgroScience and Dupont Pioneer, Syngenta, and Fertilizer Canada.

Tim Maas Retired Quality Assurance Specialist with the U.S. Army
The "yoke of slavery" to which Paul is referring is dependence upon obedience to the Mosaic Law (rather than, or in addition to, faith in Christ's death and resurrection) to receive salvation and eternal life.
Paul's epistle to the Galatians was prompted by the fact that, after the church there had received the gospel of faith in Christ as the means of salvation, there were some who started telling the Galatian Christians that, although they had expressed faith in Christ, they were not saved unless they also kept the requirements of the Law.
Paul wrote the epistle to emphasize that Christians had been freed from the requirements of the Law. For those who placed their faith in Christ, salvation was no longer contingent upon obedience to the Law's requirements (which no one (except Christ) had been, or could be, capable of keeping perfectly), but was a gift of God received apart from their works.
This freedom meant that Christians could then perform works that were pleasing to God out of gratitude for the salvation that they had already received, rather than performing them out of necessity in a futile attempt to gain salvation by achieving through their own efforts the absolute holiness that God required.
Those who claimed that obedience to the requirements of the Law was necessary in addition to faith were therefore attempting to once more figuratively place (as Paul said) a "yoke of slavery" on Christians, in the same way that a wooden yoke was placed on a team of oxen to control them.

enx001e101f0000 is the same interface name on my desktop linux mint and this works, but on my ubuntu server it is missing in the interface list (ifconfig) although it is mentioned in dmesg as you can see.
what i am missing? do i have to create the interface on my own?

A: thx to the help i found the solution:
bring up the interface:
ifconfig enx001e101f0000 up

get ip:
dhclient enx001e101f0000

test ip:
curl http://httpbin.org/ip --interface enx001e101f0000

>> {
>>  "origin": ............

PS: i am note sure but maybe the stick could be in a wrong mode (As JohnnyVegas mentioned). I reconnected the stick and got an info about the GSM modem in dmesg but this maybe another story.

For small burns on limbs or trunk, we can usually help dress, clean the wound and reduce risk of infection. A&E is recommended for larger burns, chemical burns, burns on children or burns to the face.
Burns caused by dry heat (fires, ovens, irons) or scalds caused by hot water or steam are best treated by a professional, who can evaluate the seriousness of the burn and help you heal as quickly as possible. The burn will be assessed depending on how deeply the skin is affected – a minor burn extends just to the epidermis. The deeper layers of dermis and subcutaneous fat may be affected if the burn is especially severe.
Typical symptoms of a burn are pain, blisters, redness, and peeling, charred, white, or swollen skin. Sometimes a more serious burn may be less painful than a less serious one, depending on whether the nerves have been damaged. The doctor will evaluate the size and extent of your burn, clean, and dress it. If the burn is very serious, we can advise you on next steps, including skin grafts and other surgeries.
What are some immediate care tips for burns?
Please seek medical attention for a burn as quickly as possible. In the immediate aftermath, run the burn under cool running water. Avoid applying any creams. You can cover the burn with cling film or clean plastic.
I have a blister following a burn. Should I burst it?
It is not advised that you burst a blister on your own, as this can cause infection. The blister is actually protecting the skin and keeping it clean whilst it heals. If it is especially painful, a doctor may be able to lance it for you.
When should I seek emergency attention?
It is advised that you seek emergency medical help if your burn is chemical or electrical, if it is especially large or deep (bigger than your hand), has caused charring of the skin, or if it is on your face.

Q: Extension 'commands_files/say' could not be loaded I'm using these 2 following codes, and the bot won't add cogs, but it works for my other bot.
My folders are the right ones because it wouldn't tell that error else.
Main code:
#!/home/bist1484/virtualenv/winterlounge/3.7/bin/python3.7

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
# import subprocess
import os
import traceback
import json

import botsettings as bs

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=".")

try:
    for filename in os.listdir('./commands_files'):
        if filename.endswith('.py'):
            client.load_extension(f'commands_files.{filename[:-3]}')
except Exception as e:
    print(e)

Say cog:
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

import botsettings as bs

class Say(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

    def is_staff(ctx):
        if (ctx.guild.get_role(651372813436846091) in ctx.author.roles) or ctx.author.id in bs.trustedUsers:
            return True

    # Say command
    @commands.command()
    @commands.check(is_staff)
    async def say(self, ctx, *, text):
        if ctx.channel.id not in bs.modmailChannels:
            await ctx.send(text)
            await ctx.message.delete()

            embed = discord.Embed(title="Special command used", color=0x6f6f6f)
            embed.set_author(name="ctx.author.name", icon_url="ctx.author.avatar")
            embed.add_field(name="Command used", value="{ctx.invoked_with}", inline=False)
            embed.set_footer(text=f"Jump URL: {ctx.message.jump_url}")
            await self.client.get_channel(bs.logsChannel).send(embed=embed)

def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(Say(client))

I'm getting the following error:
Extension 'commands_files/say' could not be loaded

Do you have any idea why that is happening?
EDIT: Here's my files structure. Note that commands_files have to be in the cgi-bin, because the start.py file is in.

EDIT 2: I succeed to get the full traceback, here it is.

A: I didn't find what was wrong with that but succeed to make this works by putting all files in the same folder as start.py.

Learning the Language of Product at Duolingo
Jackson ShuttleworthAuthorMBA Students
Four years ago, I used Duolingo's free language learning app to pick up enough German to impress my new girlfriend, who had recently moved to Boston from Munich. I was able to use what I learned on the app to not just impress her, but to apply for a transfer to Munich a year later so I could join her back in Germany. My efforts paid off - she and I were married this past June in the Bavarian alps.
When Duolingo visited campus last October, I figured this could be a good opportunity to get Product Manager (PM) experience (which I was interested in exploring) while working for a company I cared about (again, see above). As part of my recruiting, I was able to meet on campus with Conor Walsh, Duolingo PM and MBA 2018. Conor gave me context on what it was like to work at Duolingo as well as on the role of a PM on a day-to-day basis. This help was particularly useful because I had never worked in tech or in a PM role - I had previously worked in strategy and design consulting, but I really wanted to explore actually applying insights to change a real, live product. Over the summer, I got to do that and much more.
A few points on the company: Duolingo was founded 7 years ago to make quality language education freely available for anyone, anywhere. They've recently gone through a huge growth spurt: head count is on track to grow 50% year on year to almost 200 employees. Revenue is growing rapidly as well, and the company was just named to Forbes Next Billion Dollar Startups List. With over 300 million users, the company has created the most downloaded education app in the history of the App Store… all for free.
At Duolingo, I joined the team responsible for creating and managing the core Duolingo lesson experience. I was given two problems to address - how to re-engage users who skipped our placement test, and how to rethink the way we award experience points (or XP) for practice sessions - but no one told me how to solve these problems, or what the solution should be. Instead, I was expected to run analyses on the incredible amount of data Duolingo has to pick apart the problem, and speak with users to understand the challenges from a more human point of view.
I collaborated with designers and software engineers to develop solutions, which I then presented to the CEO, Head of Design, and Head of Product. After getting their approval, we then tested the changes to see how users responded. Duolingo takes a very data-driven approach to new features, so before being launched, all new features are first released to a small subset of users to see if the change drives a meaningful improvement in the metrics we track. At any time, we'll have dozens of different A/B tests live at once. I analyzed the results (success!) and am proud to know that we'll be launching both features permanently. In just a few short weeks, the solutions I proposed are now part of the app for millions of people across the globe.
Beyond my assigned tasks, I was also encouraged to tackle other user pain points. By talking with users and observing how they used the app, I developed two additional product changes focused on improving onboarding for experienced learners: one that got users to new material faster, and one that helped users who quit our placement test. Assuming all stays on track, both of these features should hopefully be launched sometime in the next few weeks. If it sounds like I was running around untethered, that's only partially true - my mentor and manager helped address my questions, and my 13-person team was always there to offer insights, advice, and perspective. Never did I feel like I was in over my head, and the help was there if I needed it.
On top of making specific product changes, I was also asked to work on more strategic projects. The stakes were real - the CEO had recently prioritized a new market, believing it would be the next critical step for Duolingo's growth. It would be my task to develop the product roadmap that would get us there. I worked with a broad cross-section of the Duolingo team to develop the roadmap, and I got to pitch my final recommendations to the CEO, CTO, and the entire product team. Intern projects here are referenced for years after the final presentation, and hopefully mine will be too.
It might be less important than the work experience I was picking up, but I had always wanted to experience the Silicon Valley-style startup perks and Duolingo didn't disappoint. The free onsite lunch, access to every snack or drink under the sun, and the weekly massages all made work easy. Maybe less typical was that I, along with most of the company, left the office almost every day between 5:30 and 6:30. As someone with a child on the way, having a reasonable work schedule is pretty high on my list of priorities.
Perhaps the coolest thing about this summer, however, is knowing that the work I did helped more people across the world learn to communicate. Maybe in a new country, maybe with their neighbor next door. All for free. In 2019, helping people talk with each other across cultures and borders feels like a worthy goal to spend time on.

Hello, I'm just wanting to send you a big thank you for a birthday pork pie I had ordered from you for a birthday present this week.My friend absolutely loved it and the pictures he sent me looked amazing. All though I'm in North Yorkshire I will definitely be ordering again from you.
Thank you for making his day with the pie!
Brought this pork pie as a birthday cake for my mum as she can't have sweets that often. She was actually brought to tears of how brilliant it was, best pork pie we have ever tasted. The meat was perfectly seasoned and the pastry was soft and delicious. I would definitely buy this again, highly recommend.
Really tasty and well packed for the journey! Would definitely recommend.
When you asked me his name, and it had the 6 letters, and usually you have maximum of 5, you asked me if I called him by any other name.. I said I often did, bit unsuitable to put in top of a Pork Pie!!!
I was over the moon when I requested the name Graham…and you were able to do it…. Thanks!
Thanks so much for my friend's awesome birthday pie. The pie looked great and tasted even better. Thanks for being nice enough to add an extra letter on for my friend's name too!


What is Dry Eye and Can it Damage My Eyes?
Dry Eye Syndrome is a common eye condition that can disrupt the quality of your vision. Tear production is extremely important for your eyes to work normally and for general eye health. The tear film is a layer of protection for your eyes that keeps them lubricated and reduces the loss of tears. Tears cleanse and lubricate the eyes, and contain antibodies to protect the eye from infection. Any reduction in the quality or quantity of the tear film will cause pain and discomfort.
Dry Eye Syndrome is what occurs when there is not enough moisture on the eyeball. If it is untreated, it can cause real damage to the eye and tear production.
Contact lens wearers can also experience heightened discomfort. Your tear ducts work extra hard to keep your eyes and contacts lubricated. The symptoms will be more pronounced and can be helped with special contacts for dry eye. Lasik surgery or other elective eye surgeries can be put on hold until your dry eye is under control. Berryessa Optometry will treat your dry eye.
Everybody is different and no two cases of dry eye are the same. Our San Jose optometrists tailor the dry eye relief regimen to your eyes.
Over the Counter Eye Drops for Dry Eyes: Your eye needs to stay lubricated to function properly. The irritation and symptoms of Dry Eye can be reduced through the use of artificial tears. Even though the artificial tears may be purchased without a prescription, please check with your San Jose eye doctor to be sure that you use the correct product. Some of the products may contain chemicals that will further irritate the eye. Proper artificial tears will help relieve the dry, burning, gritty feeling and refresh your eyes.
Prescription for Dry Eye: Over the counter artificial tears do not work for everyone. They are not a long term solution, especially if you have a more severe chronic dry eye syndrome. Artificial tears only supplement the tears produced by the body. Prescription eye drops for dry eyes are formulated to assist your eyes to naturally produce more tears on their own. Berryessa optometrists are certified to prescribe medication for eye conditions and ocular diseases. They will figure out which prescription eye drops are best for your specific condition.
Blepharitis Treatment: Sometimes, during a dry eye exam, the optometrist discovers that a low-grade eyelid infection called blepharitis is the underlying cause of the dry eye syndrome. In that case, addressing the underlying infection usually clears up the dry eye symptoms as well. Blepharitis treatment decreases inflammation and allows the tear-producing glands in the eyelid to function properly again. Treatment for blepharitis may include an antibiotic eyelid scrub, a warm compress routine, and/or steroid drops.
To find out more about the symptoms and causes of dry eyes, visit the Your Eye Health library or call Berryessa Optometry today.

The Allure of Travel — | The Style of D.C.
There is something magical about getting on a plane. Yes, traveling by air these days can be complicated. Airline passengers traveling with their comfort pets are at odds with airline carriers lately. Weather delays can leave passengers stranded. But for me, getting on a plane is magical.
Until recently, I was last on a plane two years ago – and sadly, I was traveling for a funeral. My trips the last two years have been by car or train. I could throw clothes into a bag and go. But traveling by plane requires planning. It's meticulous. Traveling by plane elicits adventure and excitement.
To me, that's the power of travel.
Travel allows you to step out of your pattern. By changing course, you can get out of a rut, you can jumpstart a new routine or even relieve stress.
Traveling is all those things to me. I like to travel to explore new cultures and cuisines and gain new perspective. Traveling within the United States is great because there is so much to see, but it's also fun to leave the country to explore – and get those stamps on your passport.
I first tasted limoncello 10 years ago at a restaurant in Florence, Italy. I didn't know it existed until that moment. The memory of that first sip came rushing back to me when I had limoncello years later.
I truly believe travel can be restorative for the soul. According to Smarter Travel, travel gives you the space to reflect on major life events or find comfort after the death of a loved one. It's also a way to escape from everyday stresses. When I traveled to Turks & Caicos a few years ago, it was so nice to not check email or text messages. I have a habit of checking work email when I'm off. I couldn't do that while in Turks – and for that moment in time, I was at peace.
I'm hoping to log some airline miles in the coming months – and add some photos to my digital photo scrapbook. These photos allow me to fondly remember where I've been and recall the indelible impression the trip left on me.
I travel to see, touch, feel, explore and learn. Why do you travel?


The rotator cuff is a series of four muscles that begin on the shoulder blade (scapula) and end in a connection to the upper-outer corner of the ball of the shoulder (humerus). This group of muscles when put under excess stress or wear can be strained, partially torn, or completely torn (detached). The shoulder specialists with Premier Orthopedics are expertly trained at diagnosing these conditions and recommending appropriate treatment for their patients. These treatments might include medications, physical therapy, home rehabilitation, injections, or in some cases surgical repair. Our goal at Premier Orthopedic Specialists of Tulsa is to provide our patients with the proper diagnosis and medical information necessary to make the best decision regarding the most effective and cost efficient care for their shoulder condition.

A beautiful new variety from UK breeding, Scarlet kale seeds produce plants that grow tall, with highly curled leaves, almost as dark purple as Redbor. Scarlet has great flavour either as baby leaf or mature kale, and the flavour improves (along with the colour) after frost. This is a handsome, ornamental, and very edible kale to try in your organic vegetable garden. Plan short rows of Scarlet for early spring, then for summer, and finally for fall and winter harvests. Chopped or minced raw kale contains the highest amount of sulforaphane, the compound thought to have powerful cancer-fighting properties. Boiling kale loses much of this property, while steaming and microwaving have less impact.

This is what your birthday month can tell about your sex life
The month you were born in can say a lot about your sexual preferences and habit
Ever wondered whether the month in which you were born has an influence on your sex life?
Are summer babies more steamy than winter? And which birth months and star signs match up best in the bedroom?
Well, according to an astrologer, there could be a link between your birth month and how you like to have sex.
Cosmopolitan collaborated with astrologer Suzie Kerr Wright to find out what your birth month says about your bedroom behaviours.
What does your birth month say about you?

January: Those born in January have one of the kinkiest signs. You wouldn't think so, but they're right up there with November birthdays in terms of being willing to experiment in bed.
February: February-born people are adventurers. They have a lot of passion, but you have to really work for it. Their heads are focused in causes and the bigger picture, but you really have to try to get them to connect emotionally.
It's not that you can't connect emotionally, but you better be prepared to work for it.
Hull is 'UK's horniest city'
March: March-born people love spending time in bed. Sex for them is very intense and bonded because they give their partner everything they have and often take sex to new heights of spirituality.
April: April-born people are very independent, so when they're involved with someone, they give their all. Sex with an April-born person is hot, intense, and very passionate because they're ruled by Mars. Their passion is huge, but they often get tired of people quickly.
Silhouettes of a young couple under the starry sky
May: May-born people want sex to be comfortable and sensual and warm. They love the act of sex itself. They want to make love on satin sheets in a gorgeously decorated room or not at all.
June: June-born people will want to try every position under the sun because they want to know everything about everything. They're not as intense as February-born people, but they're still intense. If you want someone to talk dirty to you, they've got you covered.
The most popular days and dates to get married revealed
July: Sex with July-born people has to have a deep emotional component. They have to feel safe with someone and once they do, they will do anything to please their partner. They love to nurture people and make sure they're satisfied and have everything they need.
August: August-born people can either be extremely selfish or extremely generous. They'll want to make sure their partner has everything. They hate being told what to do in bed, and their egos are easily bruised.

September: They're passionate but they're always in control of their emotions, so when it comes to sex, it'll take a lot to really get them to let go and have a great orgasm. They won't immediately throw themselves into sex, but if they have an emotional component there, there's nothing they won't do.
October: They want to paint a romantic, passionate picture, and tell you how it'll be and how you'll feel. Then once they tell you, they want to go very slow and make the experience last.
They'll really take their time and linger and romance someone. October-born people might lack passion, but they make up for that with spot-on courting that leads up to romantic sex.
These are the most popular items sold in Hull's Ann Summers store
November: November-born people are the epitome of what passionate sex is. They need to possess their partners and want their partners to possess them and will make that happen. They will try every sex act imaginable just to say they've done it.
December: December-born people are very creative in bed. They love to create stories and role-play with partners. It's often hard to connect to them in a deeper way, but they'll make sex fun every single time.

"Casa Maria" is a luxury villa with a lush, tropical garden, right in front of a huge, uncrowded beach. The basic price includes two double bedrooms, each with en suite bathroom, air conditioning and a well equipped kitchen. The third bedroom is locked up and included for a modest extra fee if you need it.
There is a long, un-spoilt beach with surfing waves coming in from the Pacific. The water temperature is 80 Fahrenheit all around the year, and the landscape is lush, tropical green. The river is just one mile inland from the beach, so you can paddle a canoe in the mangrove swamp and swim in the ocean surf on the same day. You usually have the beach for yourself, and a private pool and garden. The villa is perfect for a couple, but if you rent the whole property, it can accommodate a family of twelve. The villa also has an upstairs with hammocks, ping pong table and magnificent views. It's a safe, secluded place for kids and family vacations, with no big tourist establishments in the vicinity. We include security and a night watchman.
The owner's house is located at the other end of the one acre beach front property. Each house has its own pool and garden, and is rented separately. For special events, both houses can be rented. . There are some shops within walking distance, and restaurants in Monterrico, 4 miles away.
We are on the Pacific coast, two and a half hour drive from the Guatemala airport. Turn left towards Monterrico at San José, pass it and you'll find us 6 kilometers east of Monterrico, direction Hawaii, take right at the km 157 sign.
We can also organize a pick up at the airport, in Antigua or Monterrico, or you can take the bus.There are direct connections from the capital and from Antigua to Monterrico and Hawaii, and we can pick you up at the main road.
The map here is approximate. A more detailed map is provided upon reservation.
Guatemala is known for its picturesque villages, its ancient ruins and magnificent nature, but did you know that is also has world class beaches? There is a long, un-spoilt coastline with surfing waves coming in from the Pacific. The water temperature is 26C all around the year, and the landscape is lush, tropical green. The river is just one mile inland from the beach, so you can paddle a canoe in the mangrove swamp and swim in the ocean surf on the same day. You usually have the beach for yourself, and you have a private pool and garden.
Paddle tour through the mangroves with its rich wildlife of birds, iguanas and caymans You can rent our canoa and paddle yourself, or go with a guide.
The Hawaii Ecological Park and turtle reserve is just a short walk away along the beach.

Mr Trump arrived demure and understated as ever, whilst Obama slipped out through the back door and giddily ran for the hills.
Zoe and Chris, from The Cake Parlour, finally made good on all their threats and shipped off back to Australia, just in time for Australia Day and 24 degrees in the shade – can't imagine why they'd want to leave! The new owners of the Parlour seem very nice though, so I'm sure business will rock on.
It would also seem that, according to one of our sources (but we haven't corroborated this with any of the hairdressers yet), Just Pause, beside the Post Office, has also left Arthur Road – certainly the windows are all blacked out and the shop has been completely cleared, so something is definitely afoot. Is this now the opportunity for one of you to open that Wine Bar we all know the area needs? Or a hairdressers, perhaps!
As a country we've still left Europe but then, on the other hand, we haven't quite managed it yet as there now needs to be another vote about a vote that we've already voted in – ah, the never ending layers of bureaucracy, surely that's one of the things we were hoping to leave in Europe….
All the Brits left the tennis in Melbourne and the Open suddenly seems to have turned into a Veterans event.
And January has almost left us, and with it the 6 for 5 deal, but February is around corner, with its Six Nations deal to keep our weekends lively.
And we've been busy. Monday was paperwork and deliveries; Tuesday found Alex trying to go to a supplier tasting and lunch in Farringdon, only to discover the event was on Wednesday; Wednesday was the start of Wine School and consequently all of Wayne's jokes needed to be dusted off and given a good polish to honour the event; Thursday was Australia Day and appropriately, colder than the Baltic. Most of every day we have been wrestling with Office 365, we've lost our Outlook Calendar, found it again on our phones, re-instated it on Outlook and then crossed our fingers each morning when we relight the computer praying that it'll still be there. And we've organised some dates for upcoming tastings. And now it's Friday, payday, hip, hip hooray!
Many of you have been on one of these, a significant number of you have been on two or three, and lots of you have never been. None of these reasons should exclude you from coming to one this year.
We have developed a very good relationship with a French cheese wholesaler who, in a fortunate stroke of serendipity, is located in Wellington Works, which is more commonly known locally as the end of the road Alex lives on. Anyway, the cheeses are great, not always French which is also great, and different every time – what's not to like. The wines come off our shelves and we always endeavour to select wines that will tantalise the tastebuds and complement the cheeses, rather than torture them. 2-3 kilos of cheese, 6 or 7 wines, bread and crackers – where do I sign up!
Each evening will start at 8pm and we have a maximum of 12 seats. The cost is £20 per person and, as places are limited, we ask that any reservation is supported by payment, to avoid disappointment!
We will have wine open in the shop this weekend, as ever. As it was Aussie Day yesterday and we all wish we were somewhere warmer right now, we're opening a couple of stonkers from down under.
Should your cockles need more serious warming we do still have a number of our whiskies open, plus the sloe gin and of course King's Ginger, the perfect foil to the cold weather.
Right that's it from us, we're off now, buoyed by The Donald's confident assumption that Mexico will pay for the wall, we're going to tell our neighbours to pay for a ski holiday!
To emulate Wayne's herculean efforts this week, how about joining us for the slightly less frenetic Wine School that starts next Wednesday?
It's rare, but occasionally we get a sneaky glimpse into Wayne's diary to find out what he's really up to when he claims to be cycling/visiting family in Essex/trimming the hedge/painting the fence/swinging the lead… To be fair, he does spend a significant portion of his non-work life engaging in all of the activities above but every now and then he goes off the reservation and hits the town.
Next stop Langan's. Well you should really, shouldn't you, if the purpose of your day is vinous extravagance. A baker's dozen of wines here, tasted in the upstairs room with all the photos of all the luminaries propping Peter Langan up, the sort of photos Hello and co aspired to present but none as classy and cool as this collection. Again we got side-tracked. Some really tasty and interesting wines from Beaujolais (the 'next big thing' apparently if Lambrusco doesn't get there first, or posh Madeira), some genuine horror stories from various bits of the New World, some melt in the mouth slivers of hand-carved Serrano ham and we're out the door, all within half an hour.
Quick courtesy call at Marks & Spencer's and then a route march down to the Albert Hall, having misjudged the intervening distance. Tasting wasn't in the hall but when you're tasting next door, this is the landmark you aim for. Here is where teeth turned black, and tasting notes grew monosyllabic. Almost 80 wines tasted and noted – the two Cremant were re-examined a few times, just as a respite, just as a palate cleanser and then as a treat – sometimes it is just too rude to spit.
And the Guinness. Now that tasted fabulous, the requirement to spit was no longer there and a body that had been teased all day by the prospect of a tasty tipple was finally given its reward.
If that's what he gets up to on a Tuesday, one can scarce imagine what his weekends must be like!
Following on from Wayne's herculean efforts this week, how about joining us for the slightly less frenetic Wine School that starts next Wednesday, 25th January at 8pm?
Admittedly, over the six week course you will only taste about half the number of wines Wayne tasted on Tuesday, about 10 each week, but to be able to be like Wayne you need to have been like Wayne for a long time – and not many people have….
Anyway, over the six weeks you will learn about all your old favourites – Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir and friends – but you will also get to learn about, and taste, other grape varieties that perhaps you are always a little wary of when confronted with the wine list. Treat yourself to this in 2017 – if wine is going to get more expensive, it might be time to explore the roads less travelled, where greater value hides!
£150 per person, 4 places remaining.
16.66% discount. On wine and beer. Many of you have partaken, more of you haven't. It ends when January ends, as does abstinence – you might well need a bottle or six by then!
This time next week we'll have celebrated Mr Burns' night. We'll have asked ourselves why we don't eat haggis, neeps and tatties on a more regular basis. Then we'll remember what we read in the paper about the critical shortage of courgettes and other veg from Spain and Italy at the moment, and it will dawn on us that maybe we will be having neeps and tatties more regularly, like it or not.
But it's not all bad news. The joys of the haggis meal are limitless. It's the simplest dinner party in the world – boiling and mashing whilst leaving the wee beestie to its own business in the oven means more time for socialising and champagne drinking. There's barely any washing up. It tastes fabulous and when else can you open a bottle of whisky and pour it onto your food 'as a gravy' – Wayne, of course, thinks this rocks!
Celler de Capçanes Mas Picosa de flor en flor 2013, Montsant, Spain (£13.29) – Montsant is the area surrounding Priorat, in the hills behind Tarragona, just south of Barcelona. This is a winning blend of Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah giving us plenty of brambly aromas with a juicy vibrant palate and a lovely fresh finish, which we think will be spot on with almost everything meaty. Oh, and it's organic.
Boutinot Côtes du Rhône Villages 'Les Coteaux' 2013, Rhône, France (£10.99) – Common practice in the Côtes du Rhône is to bottle the best cuvées as a single named Village wine and the rest as basic Rhône Villages. The philosophy with this wine, however, is to start with the intention of making the very best Côtes du Rhône Villages possible. They source wine from the vineyards of named villages and enrich them with a small proportion of barrel-aged wine from Sablet, Séguret and Cairanne. The results are fabulous, as you can taste here, with well-balanced brambly fruit and soft tannin that is bang on the money and always a crowd pleaser – can you believe we haven't put this on a weekend tasting since April 2011?
So there you go – a round-up of the week just gone and some ideas for next week including an offer some fun wine education!
We're off now to play a kazoo duet at the Trump inauguration – do anything for a buck and a corndog in January!
Is it me or is it getting a bit chilly?
This week has been rather eventful on the news front, real, imagined or fake. Now, I think it may be my age but I find it increasingly difficult to distinguish which is which. I saw that Jay Rayner is going to approach 2017 by staying furious about food for the whole year; I may take a similar approach to the news.
It was with some surprise that we saw the A303 appear all over the news wires this week. For boys from Essex and Kent inhabiting South West London, the A303 is a road we spend a surprising amount of time talking about.
Alex has, by virtue of marriage, become rather better acquainted with the road than almost anybody else who grew up in Kent, whilst Wayne takes a similar approach to the road as he does to golf. He listens sympathetically, has a couple of key facts, and then looks blank if the conversation takes a technical turn.
The A303 reared its 'slow on a Friday' head this week with the news that they're planning to put a tunnel under Stonehenge to ease the 'slow on a Friday' aspect of the A303. I'll be the first to put my hand up to paying less attention in tunnel engineering class than I should have, but tunnel under Stonehenge?
Stonehenge, I seem to remember, is a collection of really big stones that arrived from Wales by unknown methods, possibly religious, a really long time ago. Given we don't know why they turned up, or how they got there, is it not a bit dangerous to just go tunnelling underneath them. Has nobody in government heard of the Mines of Moria? Progress marches on, eh?
We would be as bold to suggest that knowing Sauvignon Blanc from Cabernet Sauvignon is a real life skill, as much as being able to make a fish finger sandwich or mushroom risotto, let alone opening a bottle of champagne without spraying your guests.
Come along to wine school and enhance your life, we can't help with the fish finger risotto or the mushroom sandwich but, the Sauvignon thing, we're all over like a rash.
School starts on Wednesday 25th January at 8pm.
We've mentioned on more than one occasion that the wine trade can be a funny old business, full of quirky people and strange traditions. One of those quirky traditions is that January is stuffed to the gunnels with tastings as all the new release Burgundy is about and many suppliers take advantage of the fact.
we shall be closed on Tuesday 17th January.
We'll be busy tasting wines to try and keep all your palates tingling throughout 2017. Apologies for this, we hope you understand.
The white corner will be inhabited by Southern Dawn Sauvignon Blanc 2016 (£10.49) a cracking example of what Marlborough does best.
The red corner is also going to be inhabited by a chap from the southern half. De Bortoli Heathcote Shiraz 2014 (£12.39) which is a lovely drop of red from Heathcote, directly north from Melbourne but quite a long way inland, well balanced with blackberry, plum and spice character – very appropriate for the current coldsnap.
That's all from us – don't forget we're still doing our 6 for 5 offer – so pop by , book a place on the wines school and then take six bottles home for revision!
Lovely, lovely, lovely, thank you very much. Christmas was fab, New Year's Eve was an appropriately late night and having the first few days of 2017 away from the grindstone was marvellous – how about you?
However, we are now back to the aforementioned grindstone. Christmas decorations have come down, apart, of course, from the really obvious one that we won't notice until mid February but that's almost as an important part of the tradition as the big day itself. We've even seen some customers – our first day back we mainly sold Champagne and fine wine, belated gifts allegedly but we think that more than one of these was a case of letting the good times roll, just a little longer! We've looked at some sales figures but not too forensically – unsurprisingly Prosecco was our best selling fizz but, overall, Champagne outsold sparkling wine in December – as it should do. Hepple Gin was still our best selling spirit, maintaining category dominance for a full year now and, as we have been predicting all year, our best seller overall, January to December, was Chateau de L'Aumerade Cru Classé Rose from Provence and at a canter. Not a bad shopping basket that though – Rose for the summer, Prosecco for weekdays, Champagne for weekends, high days and holidays and Gin for 5pm – make mine a large one.
As you can imagine we are fully eschewing abstinence (tautology, perhaps?), certainly when it comes to alcohol – be a bit like being a vegan butcher really – although speaking of veganism, Wayne has fully immersed himself in Veganuary, because he's clearly nuts and wants to become one, whereas right now all that Alex seems to have given up is telling the truth!
… of course! All we had to do was look at what we wrote in January 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 to find the appropriate mechanic. Yes folks, as now seems traditional in this small corner of southwest London, might we present to you the Park Vintners January 6 for 5 Offer. Similar to the ongoing Champagne and sparkling wine deal we offer all year, for January we will be extending this offer to wine too. Why don't we include beer as well! But not spirits I'm afraid, all the profit on those is reserved for HMRC, unfortunately it's our Duty. Oh, and it's only wines we have in stock currently. And a couple of the Champagnes aren't in the deal either but let's not get caught up in all the Ts & Cs, this is a glorious offer – 6 bottles for the price of 5, mixable, a '16.66% off' straight-up deal, none of this 'cheapest bottle free' malarkey. Drive your cars down and fill your boots.
The other thing this deal doesn't apply to is Wine School, sorry. If 6 of you want to attend then I'm afraid you'll all have to pay, although this might be a bit academic(!) since we don't have six spaces left. However we do still have some unallocated seats at the table so if, like our customers earlier in the week, you are still short of a Christmas gift then this could be just the ticket. Equally, again like our other customers earlier in the week, if you fancy this as a gift for yourself, don't let anyone judge you!
Half term 15th February – further details attached.
It would seem Hepple should be paying us a commission – two mentions in one blog! Anyway, whilst we wait for that, how about seeing how they get on in this challenge on Tuesday January 17th up at Bar 366, which is just a hop and a skip from Clapham Junction or a shorter trip from the 156 bus stop at Plough Road. Either way, they've done extremely well to make the shortlist of 5 Gins and well, frankly, as Victoria Moore once said, when writing in the Daily Telegraph "it might be the best Martini gin I've ever tasted." You never know, you might even see us there – Tuesday night Martini's, let the good times roll!

Kubo and the Two Strings is a film that needs to be seen
By ErikOct 10, 2016, 18:50 pm
If you need to blink, do it now. This is going to be a long story, and your eyes will miss much of it. Fair warning though, it's a three part deal, with a movie review, a plea for original ideas, and a goodbye to a friend all in one. It all starts with a song, and an idea.
Let's start with a trailer.
The trailer for Kubo and the Two Strings stirred so many emotions in me. The music alone was enough to bring tears. It's a great take on the Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", and it fits the movie perfectly. The story is about a boy who cares for his mother, tells stories, and can do magic. It's something my dearest Keeper and I would probably call a perfect storm for our inner geeks.
The story starts with Kubo telling the tale of how him and his mother come to be, and how his grandfather stole his eye. The tale goes on and we meet Monkey, and Beetle. There's magic, there's monsters, and it's all done in amazing Stop-Motion animation…you know, like Nightmare Before Christmas. Actually, it's a pretty good mix of Stop Motion and CGI.
Is it any good? Yes, it's flat out amazing, and I regret waiting two months to see it in theaters. It's one that needs to be seen on a big screen, in 3D if you can, and it needs repeat viewings. Unfortunately, it will disappear from theaters very soon, as the fall Oscar contenders make their bow.
So, why write a review for a movie that came out two months ago? Well, for one you need to see it. We live in a time where we are inundated with sequels, reboots and retreads. You (collectively) complain about it, but you still go. This story isn't based on a book, it's not a sequel, a video game or a Japanese cartoon. It's an original idea, filled with original designs. Yes, the story and the designs are derivative of other films and stories, but the story is what grabs you in. From the title, down to the end of the film when you realize what the movie is really all about.
One thing that we have always preached here on BTT is the core of the story. Our late Keeper wrote entire essays on the importance of story in theme park attractions. We argued over it, and in the end it was one of the MANY things that made him decide to part ways with us. Consequently, Keeper is very much alive and well, living out his days by shaking his aged fists at kids who dare to step on his lawn and talk about how much better things were "back then".
But Keeper is right, story is integral in everything that we do, and it's extremely important when dealing with theme parks, and in this case movies. What is a story but a way of transporting ourselves into someplace else? That place can be bigger, more fantastical, or even within ourselves. The Story can even inspire us to do different things. The story can inspire us to create our own stories, or to do a certain profession. The Story can make us realize things about ourselves, and make us either change or try to be better people…or worse. The Story is what brings us all together, whether huddled around the campfire, in your dining room over dinner, or staring at a "Silly Little Blog" for over eight years (thanks Jill). The Story is pretty much everything, and if it's told right, it's shared and retold and brought into new generations. In a way, remakes and retreads are true testaments to how good that original story was, even if we've seen it a million times and hold a special place in our hearts for it. While those stories are great, and deserving of fresh eyes looking at it, there are still new stories to be told.
So, with Kubo and the Two Strings, a new story is told. It's told in a way that is entertaining and beautiful. And it creates a world that we have rarely seen, in a medium so rarely done right.
The monsters are of course a call back to the monsters of the old Harryhausen films, only they fit the world of Kubo better than they fit in the world of the movies back then. Kubo is a story that comes to life from one of Laika's own, based on the experiences he had as a kid, while tagging along with his dad to Japan. Again, it's about the story.
This isn't the first time that Laika has taken a shot with an original idea, they did a kind of "Supernatural Goonies" take with ParaNorman in 2012. While that was a great film, Kubo feels like it falls into all the places it needed to. It's more grown up, while being aimed at kids. It is clever, with a hint of comedy, and a little bit of scariness to it. It's also way better than most of the animated films that have hit this year…including the much loved Finding Dory. Hopefully it will find love this awards season, but with big films like Dory, and Moana on the docket, the best we can hope for is a solid following on home vid…err…dv…at home.
Still, if you get the chance, and you want something that is a great family film, with an original story, there is still time!
After all, stories are how we keep bringing you here.

Trump's victory sends Trudeau's energy, climate strategy into disarray
by Shawn McCarthy (feat. Colin Robertson)
The Globe and Mail
The stunning victory by Donald Trump in the U.S. election throws into disarray Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's goal of forging a North American energy and climate strategy.
Canada's energy future remains deeply entwined with that of the United States, which is now virtually our only customer for exports of crude oil, natural gas and electricity, and which has under President Barack Obama played a leadership role on international climate change action.
As a result of Mr. Trump's upset, the prospect for a continental energy policy will look very different from this past year, since the Liberals came to power. The Republican standard-bearer has dismissed concerns about climate change, pledged to slash regulations that impede the production and use of fossil fuels, and is unlikely to stand in the way of new pipelines that would bring oil-sands crude from Canada to the refinery hub in the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Mr. Trump favoured the Keystone XL pipeline that Mr. Obama turned down, and has said he will invite Calgary-based TransCanada Corp. to refile its application. However, the real estate developer said he would want a better deal for the U.S. including wanting "a piece" of the pipeline project for the U.S., though he has never suggested how that stake would be achieved.
If, as he has promised, Mr. Trump rolls back his predecessor's climate commitments, Canada will face tough competitiveness questions as Ottawa and the provinces pursue plans to increase carbon prices in the coming years.
"With Trump, [energy policy] is a black box because he has not offered detailed plans," said Colin Robertson, vice-president of the Ottawa-based Canadian Global Affairs Institute.
Renewable energy advocates insist that, regardless of the outcome of the presidential election, the U.S. will continue to see a surge in clean-energy investment as U.S. states pursue their own standards and policies that drive adoption of increasingly competitive wind and solar power.
But Mr. Trump would likely hurt the renewable energy sector because he would kill off Mr. Obama's clean-power plan, which would encourage states to adopt clean power over coal-fired electricity. He will likely end a key renewable-energy tax credit when it comes up for extension in 2019, noted Divya Reddy, an analyst with Washington-based political risk firm Eurasia Group.
While the businessman diverged from Republican orthodoxy in areas such as trade and foreign affairs, he has echoed the party's long-standing support for unfettered oil and gas development.
His chief energy adviser is Kevin Cramer, a North Dakota congressman and climate-change skeptic whom Ms. Reddy describes as "perhaps the most outspoken advocate for the U.S. oil and gas industry in Congress."
Mr. Trump has committed to roll back regulations that hamper the industry. While he has not been specific, that may well include Obama administration plans to cut methane emissions from oil and gas sector by up 45 per cent – a joint Canada-U.S. commitment was made when Mr. Trudeau visited Washington in March.
Climate negotiators are gathering this week in Morocco for the annual United Nations summit and will have to assess how Mr. Trump's victory will affect the Paris agreement reached a year ago.
He has threatened to walk away from the deal, which Mr. Obama ratified last month by executive order.
There are several ways in which Mr. Trump could undermine the Paris accord, which aims to limit the rise in average global temperatures to less than 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels. He can simply ignore U.S. commitments to reduce emissions, and to provide billions of dollars in aid to developing countries.
The surprise victory by Mr. Trump could force the federal and provincial governments in Canada to reconsider climate policies that will disadvantage energy producers here and drive up costs for manufacturers, said Laura Dawson, director of Canada Institute at Washington's Wilson Center a non-partisan think tank.
"It may force Canada to backtrack on some of its initiatives that would put Canada too far out ahead as an outlier," she said. "The Trudeau government was trying to go where the puck was going under an Obama White House but that puck might stop altogether under Trump, or it might turn into a basketball."
