A brief intermission
Today's news headlines:
'Trump's China handshake lifts spirits but not sober outlook'. On Friday, China agreed to increase its purchases of US agricultural products more than two-fold, while the US decided to prevent this week's scheduled tariff increase. While it appears that trade tensions are easing, investors are doubtful since previous attempts to come to a resolution haven't lasted long. Market strategists do not expect pressures to fully abate anytime soon. (Bloomberg)
'Trump says "ready to go" on Turkey sanctions as troops leave'. The Trump administration has threatened 'powerful' sanctions on Turkey following its invasion into Syria. On Sunday, the Treasury Secretary said: 'These sanctions could be starting small, they could be maximum pressure which would destroy the Turkish economy.' Despite the aggressive rhetoric, Secretary of Defence Esper claimed 'We are not going to war, another war in the Middle East, against Turkey'. (Bloomberg)
On Friday, our commentary attempted to contextualise upcoming Brexit risk and demonstrated that the risk of Sterling devaluation wasn't gone, but has simply been pushed out into 2020. For a little while, the optimism of a potential deal was really moving the Pound higher, but it hasn't lasted. Over the weekend, Jean-Claude Junker commented that conversations are continuing, but the proposal discussed by PM's Johnson and Varadkar wasn't sufficient to form the basis of a divorce deal. So with two weeks to the third Brexit deadline, we appear to be back to square one.
The proposed Brexit deal came out of nowhere, but the Chinese trade delegation's arrival in the US was greatly anticipated. Speculation about the potential for this meeting to resolve the trade dispute has only been rising, particularly the more substantive issues like intellectual property protection, curbing state subsidies and trade enforcement. Donald Trump is confident that he can get a comprehensive deal through, but last week the Chinese said no substantive issues were on the table for negotiation. We've heard that a 'partial deal' has been agreed but have no idea what that covers and, more importantly, where it leads next.
Bottom line: There have been so many false starts and disappointments with the trade dispute and Brexit, that its surprising markets haven't learnt their lesson. Today is a US bank holiday and so likely to be quite quiet, but the drama will resume tomorrow.
Sterling's rally at the end of last week pushed the pair to four-month highs of 1.2707 on optimism that a Brexit deal can be achieved before the October deadline. On the Monday open, Cable dipped back below the 1.26 figure amid emerging comments over the weekend that there is still a long way to go. Intraday volatility should be expected as further headlines appear.
The Pound continues to be the main driver of the pair as news on a Brexit deal trickles into the market. Last Friday, the pair climbed to 1.15, but trading in the London open brought the pair back to the low 1.14 level as the Brexit hype subsides. With the Euro still trading with low volatility and a light data calendar today, Brexit news is likely to keep steering the pair.
The common currency has largely maintained October's gains and currently trades above 1.1000. With little in the way of European economic data today as well as a US bank holiday, the Euro is likely to stay trading with low volatility in today's session.

Richelle E. Goodrich had it right when she said, "If you've put a smile on someone's face today, you've done more good than you know." Putting a smile on the face of your child is among all moms' greatest pleasures, and orthodontics is the best way to provide your kids with a healthy teeth they will be proud to show off.
Having misaligned and crooked teeth can be embarrassing to people of all ages. Children as young as five or six may start trying to hide their teeth and be self-conscious about their appearance. Orthodontics work by straightening a patient's teeth with the use of traditional braces, Invisalign, and other forms of treatment. Once your child's teeth are straight, they will be excited to show off their new set of pearly whites.
While it's important to let your child's inner star shine through their healthy smile, there are also other reasons for orthodontic care. By providing children with straight teeth, orthodontic treatment makes it possible to keep teeth clean by reducing the areas where plaque can hide. Orthodontic care can also improve speech impediments, making it easier for children to properly pronounce words and sounds. If those aren't some additional reasons to smile, I don't know what is!
Here at Team Demas Orthodontics, it's our goal to put a smile on someone's face today and every day. Our team of trained professionals will work with you to help you determine the best action to provide your child with a healthy teeth that they will appreciate for the rest of their lives. In addition to providing quality care for children, our orthodontists at Team Demas Orthodontics also provides Invisalign for adults in Southington along with other treatment methods. Contact us today at 860-274-6625 to set up an appointment and discover your beautiful smile.

STATEMENT: By Weakening Firearm Export Oversight, Trump Sides With Gun Industry Over American People
Press Statement Jan 23, 2020
Adam Peck
Washington, D.C. — Today, the Trump administration finalized a rule that will weaken oversight of firearms exports and make it easier for dangerous military-style weapons to end up in the hands of violent criminal organizations and human rights abusers around the world. In response, Chelsea Parsons, vice president for Gun Violence Prevention at the Center for American Progress, issued the following statement:
This action demonstrates once again that the Trump administration serves to represent the interests of the gun lobby, rather than the American people. Not only is this administration refusing to take action to address the public health epidemic of gun violence in this country, but this new rule will also weaken oversight of the exportation of assault weapons and other deadly military-style firearms and ammunition, further contributing to the use of U.S.-sourced firearms in acts of horrific violence abroad.
Rather than working to increase profits for the gun industry, the Trump administration should be laser-focused on enacting policies that will reduce gun deaths and make all of our communities safer—both at home and abroad.
The rule finalized today will shift oversight of the exportation of many types of small arms—including assault-style semi-automatic rifles—from the U.S. State Department to the U.S. Department of Commerce and will eliminate congressional review over these transactions. This proposal has raised a number of concerns among national security and human rights experts, who caution that such a move could weaken oversight of these transactions and potentially make it easier for these exported firearms to be diverted to violent criminal organizations abroad.

If you're looking for life insurance for type 1 diabetics, you need to understand how this disease affects the cost of your insurance policy, before everything else. Diabetes is indeed a severe medical condition, but this doesn't mean that sufferers are unable to get good life insurance. It is true that premiums of life insurance for diabetes are higher, unlike non-diabetic patients because sufferers are always a higher risk for insurance companies. But if you are able to prove that your condition is kept under control, you have the possibility to get the best life insurance policy.
Between the two types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2, there are several differences but the sufferers have the same problem: higher blood sugar level than the normal range. Type 1 diabetes is not associated with body weight in excess and is generally diagnosed in childhood. However, the condition is not possible to keep under control without insulin. On the contrary, type 2 diabetes appears after the age of 30 and is associated with high cholesterol levels and excessive body weight. And because diabetes comes with a lot of complications, it's important to keep it under control, so you can get the best life insurance for diabetics type 1.
When it comes to getting the life insurance for type 1 diabetics, the insurers will be especially interested in how you are treating and keeping your condition under control. Before you will be offered a life insurance policy, you might be asked to undergo special medical examinations, in order to make sure that you are eligible for this life insurance coverage policy. You might also be asked to share all of the comprehensive details required about your condition.
Almost every insurance agency offers type 1 diabetes life insurance but there might still be several out there which will not do it because they consider that the risk is too high. But if you have the necessary evidence that your condition is well managed, you have higher chances to qualify for the proper life insurance policy. The proof of managing your condition properly involves sharing medical reports and taking blood sugar tests as well. If the life insurance agent is unhappy with the shared evidence, your application for life insurance might be unfortunately rejected. In this situation, looking somewhere else for another policy might be difficult.
Why give accurate information for life insurance for type 1 diabetics?
When you are refused at a life insurance agency for getting a policy, looking for another insurance company might be difficult in the future. You are likely to be bound sharing that you have been rejected in the past. This is the reason why it is very important to provide accurate and correct information about your condition. This is how you have the highest chances to apply for life insurance for type 1 diabetics. Don't believe that missing out any details is good because in terms of premiums, doing so might bite you and you might be refused to have your premiums decreased.

Q: Processing3 get "Error=2 No such file or directory" with a file that actually doesn't exist at the first place I cannot figure it out what happen to my Processing file. I am trying to use VideoExport library and my Macbook Pro cannot play it, but the Mac-mini is able to do so.
Before the error happened it is another error=13 permission denied thing, so I messed in the terminal for a while with chmod 777 and finding the file with ls. I don't know if that may be the reason that caused this happen. FYI, I also installed ffmpeg already.
And this is the full error:

1) The java.io.IOException: trying to call "/Work1_Facial Muscles/Cam_Rec/sketch_161027a/sketch_161027a.pde" which doesn't exist for real. It is gone for a long time but seems like the program stuck here.
2) "basic" is a file name from the Example of the Library. I just use it to test. Surprisingly, Every files that have been saved and changed the name still get the java.io.IOException's error of the missing sketch_161027a.pde file.

What I have done:
1 I have already done the Homebrew thing to install ffmpeg.
2 I deleted everything of Processing and reinstall it again.
Any suggestion?

You may think getting an insane miles per gallon is just a dream, think again. While getting 2500 MPG in a big SUV may not be possible getting 2500+ mpg in a prototype car is possible. I had the chance to attend the Shell Eco-Marathon Americas and see this first hand.
The Eco-Marathon is an event all around innovation. Students from 8 different countries compete to build the most fuel efficient vehicle they can. It was pretty amazing to see what these high school and college teams could come up with. I think about 17 year old Charles, and there is no way I could have been doing this stuff at 17. Check out the Shell Eco-marathon Americas website to learn more about the program.

Catonsville and Parkville Senior Centers Honored for Innovative Senior Programs
Mar 27, 2019 2:10:00 PM EDT
"Journey Into Space" and "Get Your Feet Wet with Technology" Named 2018 NISC Programs of Excellence
Every day across the country, older adults visit their local senior center to connect with friends, learn something new, discover how to stay healthy, give back to their community and more.
This year, Catonsville and Parkville Senior Centers have been recognized by the National Council on Aging's (NCOA) National Institute of Senior Centers (NISC) with a 2018 Programs of Excellence Award honorable mention prize for their innovative programming. Catonsville and Parkville were two of only 15 programs honored with the annual recognition for innovative, creative and replicable programs for older adults, out of a field of more than 100 submissions from across the United States.
Get Your Feet Wet with Technology
Catonsville Senior Center was recognized for its "Get Your Feet Wet with Technology" program that they conducted in partnership with the Baltimore County Public Library Catonsville Branch. The four-week program taught participants how to use technology to gain information about fitness and nutrition, music and movies, photo editing, instant messaging and online shopping. The program was conducted on tablets that were purchased through a grant from the Catonsville Women's Giving Circle.
Journey Into Space
Parkville Senior Center's "Journey Into Space" intergenerational program was also a four-part series that brought seniors and students together to learn about space and space exploration. During the first class, senior center members and their grandchildren watched a distance learning program by NASA where they were on a virtual spaceship. In subsequent classes, the participants built rockets, learned about the International Space Station and Newton's Laws of Motion, and watched "Star Wars."
About the NISC Awards
The NISC Programs of Excellence winners are picked by a committee of senior center professionals. Certificates and cash awards are given to programs in seven categories and in one highlighted area related to preventing social isolation. The categories include:
Community Development, Leadership and Intergenerational
Social Isolation Prevention (Highlighted Area)
"Our 20 senior centers in Baltimore County are important destinations for older adults to live longer and live well, and our staff works hard to keep our programs fun and educational for our members," said Laura Riley, Director of the Baltimore County Department of Aging. "We are honored to have two of our centers receive a NISC Programs of Excellence award, and hope that other senior centers across the country will be able to replicate these programs to benefit their members."
"I'm proud of the great work our Department of Aging team does with our older residents," said Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski, Jr. "This is a great recognition of the work that is being done to keep our older adults healthy, active and informed."

Baltimore County Unveils New Budget Simulation Tool for Residents
Mar 27, 2019 11:52:00 AM EDT
TOWSON, MD (March 27, 2019) — In the latest effort to promote open and accessible government, Baltimore County today unveiled a new, interactive online tool for residents to learn more about the state of Baltimore County's budget and the difficult choices under consideration during the ongoing budgeting process.
Through the "Balancing Act" platform, residents can now examine the County's projected fiscal situation for the coming fiscal year, and simulate reallocating funds in order to balance spending and revenue.
"I am committed to engaging with our communities like never before, and that includes allowing residents to experience the tough choices we're facing firsthand as we craft the first budget of my administration," said County Executive Johnny Olszewski. "This tool empowers people across Baltimore County to better understand the difficult choices ahead of us as we work to build a better Baltimore County together."
To date, County Executive Olszewski has taken important steps to open up Baltimore County's budgeting process and improve government accountability. He hosted a series of town-hall meetings focused on Baltimore County's budget in order to engage directly with residents, hear from them about their priorities, and have an honest dialogue about the county's fiscal challenges. On his first day in office, he created the Commission on Fiscal Sustainability to examine the county's budgeting practices and make recommendations for improvements. He also introduced, and the county council passed, a package of sweeping government ethics and accountability reforms, including the creation of an Office of Ethics and Accountability and a ballot initiative for voters to consider a public campaign financing program.
The Balancing Act tool is available at: https://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/Agencies/executive/balanced-budget.html. Please note: this tool may work best in a recent version of Chrome, Safari or Firefox.
County Executive Olszewski will submit his first budget to the County Council on April 15, 2019.
Baltimore County Yard Materials Recycling Collection Resumes April 1
Residents should check schedules for specific collection date
Beginning April 1, 2019, yard materials will be collected separately for recycling (not with trash) from Baltimore County residents with "Y" days on their schedule. These separate yard material collections will occur from April through as late as December 14.
For example, if a resident's first "Y" day is April 11, yard materials set out at the curb or alley from April 1–10 will not be collected with trash, but will be picked up separately on April 11. If a resident's schedule has no "Y" days, their yard materials will continue to be collected with trash year-round.
Collection schedules are available for download on the Bureau of Solid Waste Management's website and may also be requested by calling 410-887-2000. Schedules are also available on the County's BaltCoGo app, for use on mobile phones. The app is offered free of charge to Android and iPhone users and may be downloaded from their respective app stores.
While residents may set out an unlimited number of bags of yard materials, the collector may not collect all of the bags on the same day. Collectors must make trash collection their first priority, and must take into account all of the residents on their route. Residents are asked to leave their yard materials out until collection occurs.
Yard materials acceptable for recycling collection include grass, leaves, vines, twigs, shrubbery trimmings, and branches and limbs. Residents are reminded to use paper or plastic lawn and leaf bags to set out their yard materials, not trash cans. Bags of yard materials set out for collection must not exceed 30 pounds. Also, branches and limbs will be collected only if they are no larger than 3 inches in diameter, no longer than 3 feet, and tied in bundles not exceeding 30 pounds.
The yard materials collected on "Y" days will be composted into an earthy organic material, to be used by Baltimore County agencies and residents.

BMC buys Crookrise in Yorkshire
To protect access for climbers and walkers, the British Mountaineering Council (BMC) has bought Crookrise Crag, a nationally-important grit crag in Yorkshire.
The number one priority of the BMC is its vital access work for climbers and walkers. From volunteers negotiating access at local bouldering venues to lobbying parliament, the ongoing work means that climbers and walkers can just get out there and climb or walk.
Sometimes, when access is threatened, more direct intervention is needed. Consequently, if an important crag comes up for sale and the BMC believe that there is a real threat to continued public access then it will consider buying it.
As a result, the BMC now owns eight crags: Horseshoe Quarry, Aldery Cliff, Harrison's Rocks, Stone Farm, Craig y Longridge, Wilton One, Bwlch y Moch at Tremadog and, as of 20 March 2017, Crookrise.
Crookrise is a gritstone gem. This nationally important crag is tucked away in the forests of Yorkshire, a short walk above Embsay Reservoir just north of Skipton. A very high-quality gritstone edge, it's been a key stomping ground for many of Yorkshire's finest climbers.
Crookrise was owned by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, who were selling off their land assets. There were a number of interested buyers for various reasons (such as parties with shooting interests) and, while the crag is located on open access land, it could have led to complicated access issues.
The potential threat to continued access for the public, and the historical importance of this crag, gave the BMC enough reason to consider the purchase. In 2015 the BMC Access Team and the BMC Land Management Group sprung into action and started work on a detailed feasibility study. Once the BMC teams had finished their research, Crookrise was bought by the BMC for £18,000, plus legal fees.
Rob Dyer, BMC access & conservation officer:
"It's great news for walkers and climbers alike. Being able to protect access to beautiful areas of the countryside like Crookrise is just one of the many things we do for our members and the wider public. It's thanks to their continued support that we can keep on working to protect the locations and interests they hold dear.
"We'd also like to say thanks to the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority for accepting our offer of purchase. They can rest easy knowing Crookrise is in safe hands with the BMC"
Top climber and BMC ambassador Steve McClure:
"Buying Crookrise demonstrates the commitment of the BMC to securing access to the outdoors. Crookrise is one of the premier crags in the area, and it sums up what gritstone climbing is all about."
And with a touch of great timing, the May/June issue of CLIMBER (out on 13 April) will feature an article on the best that Crookrise can offer to the climber. Well worth waiting for.

The fall thrillers have started hitting the box office this weekend and "The Nun" is crushing "Peppermint" in its first week. Next weekend "The Nun" will have to battle some heavy hitters to stay at number-one and it seems unlikely that the film will repeat this week's victory.
Warner Bros. Pictures' "The Nun" should end the weekend with a $53M debut, the film opened across 3,876 locations and easily blew past "Peppermint". "The Nun" was directed by Corin Hardy, the film features Demián Bichir, Taissa Farmiga, and Jonas Bloquet. To put "The Nun" in perspective, the original "The Conjuring" film opened back in 2013 with a $41M debut before going on to make over $319M worldwide. The studio followed-up the success of the film with "Annabelle" in 2014, an installment that made $37M on its opening weekend and grossed $257M worldwide. The next big release was "The Conjuring 2" in 2016, the film had a $40M opening and grossed over $320M at the global box office. In 2017 "Annabelle: Creation" hit theaters, opening with a $35M weekend before going on to make over $306M worldwide.
Now in its fourth-week, "Crazy Rich Asians" dropped to second-place this weekend after bringing in $13.6M across the country. The romantic-comedy, also from Warner Bros. Pictures, has made over $136M domestically for the studio. "Crazy Rich Asians" was directed by Jon Chu, the film stars Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh, and Awkwafina.
Action-thriller "Peppermint" debuted at number-three on the domestic charts, bringing in $13M across 2,980 locations. "Peppermint" was directed by Pierre Morel, the film features Jennifer Garner, John Gallagher Jr., and John Ortiz.
Warner Bros. Pictures also landed the fourth-place slot on this week's Top Five. Shark thriller "The Meg" earned another $6M this week to raise the film's five-week total to just over $131M. "The Meg" was directed by Jon Turteltaub, the film features Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Ruby Rose, and Jessica McNamee. "Searching" edged out "Mission Impossible 6" to take the last spot on this week's Top Five list, bringing in $4M across 2,009 locations.
This week's films will batted a wide-array of new releases next weekend, most likely causing the Top Five to be shuffled once again. The new "Predator" reboot is releasing against the suspense-thriller "A Simple Favor" and the crime-drama "White Boy Rick," and all three films offer high-profile casts and interesting stories.


In wake of mixtures of heavy snow, freezing rain and ice - throughout the Pittsburgh and surrounding counties - Postal officials are asking for the public's cooperation in keeping mailboxes, steps, and sidewalks clear of snow and ice so letter carriers are able to provide the safest, most efficient delivery service possible.
Clear enough snow from curbside boxes to allow mail trucks to approach the box, deliver the mail and to drive away from the box without danger of the need for backing.
Walkways should be cleared of snow and ice and allow enough traction to avoid slips, trips or falls.
Steps should also be kept clear of ice and snow and in good repair so as not to cause injury to the letter carriers or others who visit the customer's home.
Overhangs should be clear and free of snow and ice to avoid injury.
Residents who receive delivery to roadside mailboxes also must keep the approach to, and exit from, the mailbox clear of snow or any other obstacles, like trash cans and other vehicles. The carrier needs to get in, and then out, without leaving the vehicle or backing up.
Customers with questions or comments about their mail service can call toll-free 1-800-ASK-USPS (1-800-275-8777).


The Dorset Down originated in England around 1800 by mating Southdown rams with the large Hampshire Down, Berkshire and Wiltshire ewes. The Dorset Down is a solid, medium sized, dark-faced, polled sheep. It has a short, close white fleece with wool round the cheeks, between the ears, on the forehead, and down the legs.
The wool is generally of high quality. The breed produces early maturing lambs and as such is an ideal terminal sire. Ewes will take a ram in most months of the year, making the breed ideal for the Christmas or early spring lamb market when prices are at a seasonal high. Carcass conformation is good with fine bone and shoulder, being well fleshed with delicately flavoured tender meat.

— You annotate directly on the film using a unique space-time scrubber. Annotations include purely cinematic attributes.
— Everything is reactive functions, specified by users via drawing typed links.
— Something like OWL will be used for dynamic ontology graph creation, supporting ontological federation.
— We love movies, and use a novel sense of narrative dynamics in reasoning about film and in constructing essays.
— We'll use Clojure for all the forward components and build a categoric, visual DSL. Some early work (now abandoned) was in Erlang.
— A second use (in a couple years) is multi-system biomedical research.
— We want to do something fun and significant. Maybe we will make someone rich. Maybe us, maybe not.
The project is inspired by work done for the intelligence community by folks that are now disgusted, and determined to repurpose what was invented.
Our current state is that many components are mocked up. Some LA heavyweights are involved. Some patents are granted, others pending. Funding is being sought. We think it better to work on prototype code than fake demos at this point, starting with the scrubber then outliner.
You would help design the overall architecture and code prototype bits. The position is expected to lead to being team leader for one of the components, and one responsibility will be to help build the team.
A downside is that we are inventing as we build. Some things will use simple good engineering principles; others will require new science and creative vision. Many of the UI conventions are experimental and will have to evolve as we go. You probably won't be able to use an off the shelf framework/stack. It will be hard, hard, hard.
It is possible that a partner may emerge that wants native apps so we'll have to pivot to include their stinky frameworks. We don't yet know what the balance will be between contributing open source and keeping things proprietary, but we will do both.
Contact Ted Goranson at tedg then the at sign then alum.MIT then dot then edu.
We will initially send two academic papers: one for the biomedical community and the other on the scrubber for a forthcoming ACM UI conference.

Home / Event - School News / Sock Hop this Friday!
The St. Agnes Lighthouse Team is excited to announce that we are organizing the 2nd Annual Sock Hop! It will take place this Friday, November 16th, from 2:15 – 3:00 PM in the school gym. We hope to beat our record from last year! The socks will be collected this week in the classrooms; please make sure they are new socks. The socks will be donated to Catholic Charities for the less fortunate.
→ Santa is coming to St. Agnes!!


Increase CPU Vcore 2 clicks higher, from 1.25000 to 1.26250 volts.
Increase DRAM Voltage to 1.90 volts.
MCH Core = 1.24 might be needed, try this if you get into another boot loop.
Increased the CPU, DRAM and MCH Core voltages as advised, but boot loop still present.
If these settings result in a boot loop, use System Memory Multiplier = 2.00D.
Rather than keep going, I'm going to leave it as is for now. I've got an HBA card coming in so when I'm putting that in, I'll take the opportunity to re-check all of the power cabling, etc. Then I'll retry the OC'ing.
Thanks again for all your help profJim. Hope it's ok if we pick it up after the HBA card arrives, unless you see this being a BIOS setting issue instead of something else being the cause?
I expected that there wouldn't be a problem with a moderate overclock if we kept memory speeds in the 800 - 850MHz range.
Something isn't right, as your 8GB of memory should have no problem running at or near it's rated speed.
We might want to test with only 4GB of memory to see if the problems remain.
Let us know when you're ready to continue.

Ecological Classroom Has A Greenhouse and Many Plants Year Round
by John Austin | Dec 1, 2015 | Articles
An ecological classroom has a greenhouse and many plants year round, despite the cold weather of winter.
Recently in Doysletown, Pennsylvania, Our Lady of Mount Carmel School opened a new 32 by 16 foot glass greenhouse which also serves as a science lab. Students from preschool through eighth grade learn about botany, agriculture, biology, and art while working with the plants and dirt.
"We are so pleased to be able to offer it to students," said Lisa Martinez, the school's director of institutional advancement. Only a few schools in the area have a similiar greenhouse facility.
Fourth graders were busy filling containers with soil and seeds for chives, radishes, and lettuce, as well as other plants that grown in cooler weather. They dated the pots so they can measure how long the different plant varieties take to grow.
"I like to see beautiful plants and feeling the rich soil," said 9 year old Ashley Kolen, while planting radishes.
The greenhouse has heat, but temperatures will be cooler during winter nights, so students are planting cold weather produce. Parent volunteer Susan Kerrigan explained the importance of good soil, light, water and air, and had taught the students about photosynthesis previously. "I love being with the kids, spending time doing science," she said.
Regular teacher Dawn Brooks believes the greenhouse is "fabulous". "We're going to grow tomatoes and sell them," she said. "It will be a math lesson and science lesson."


I'm glad to notice I can still be intrigued by a demo or album after all these years. Maybe the overall enthusiasm is less compared with the 1990s, cause a lot was "new" for me as a fan and collector, but I can still have that "heeeey, this is interesting…" or "let me push that repeat button"-feeling after hearing something for the first time…or fifth time. This is the case with Afvallige, a one-lost-soul Black Metal project from The Netherlands and the first demo "Nevelveld". The good man, Nortfalke, has his fair share of providing the Dutch scene with lots of releases as he is active in some fine acts like Kaeck, Kjeld, Standvast and Uuntar.


Diving into the history and context behind the incredibly rare private press recording 73-74-75, the only recording from The Gow Dow Experience, it's difficult to judge the music as purely entertainment. That's because this album was merely one component of the greater "Gow Dow" philosophy of Black unity and empowerment established by Dr. James Benson, the music's composer and a former professor of Black Studies at Cal Poly Pomona.
An archived story by Barbara Smith via Precinct Reporter helps set the context around Cal Poly Pomona at the time: "The year 1969 saw a revolution rocking our country: a war being fought on foreign soil and there was civil unrest at home. The shifting landscape in the country was reflected on university campuses where the need for diversity cried out. Cal Poly Pomona was one such campus with an active recruitment campaign, and in 1969 the first African-American students, many from the inner cities of southern and northern California, arrived at the school to begin their educational adventure." The Gow Dow Experience rose directly out of those transformative, tumultuous years.
As Benson writes in the album's liner notes, the group from sense of "Black Functionalism," which he elaborates as "doing some consistent kind of activity in the community to show our concern and responsibility as black students, brothers and sisters… within a few 'weeks' we went into action – free public concerts, prisons, festivals, churches, schools, educational TV, radio, weddings, etc." This album stems from those community efforts, taking place from 1969 through 1973.
While the music isn't the most studied – Benson states on the back cover "these students had very little (if any) formal training" – what makes it special is the tremendous sense of empathy and collective listening on display. The compositions are also incredibly lush and layered.
B side opener "Malcolm IX" is the freest musical passage on the album. It's notable that the song holds a pervasive sense of compassion and unity even within the throes of the saxophone's overblown low bleats and high cries. Guitar and piano seem to call back in an active dialogue. Closer "Brother Don" contains some great contrasting dynamics from the onset, with brass stabs sitting brilliantly in opposition to the drum rolls that immediately precede them.
If a copy of this private press proves too elusive (or cost prohibitive), you can get a taste on the compilation Super Cool: California Soul II, released on CD and double LP in 2007 on Luv 'N Haight and re-released digitally via Ubiquity in 2015. That collection features the group's cover of the Gene McDaniels tune "Compared to What," best known for its classic performance by Les McCann and Eddie Harris at the 1969 Montreaux Jazz Festival. The Gow Dow take is a cool, laid back counterpoint to the urgent passion of the McCann / Harris version, a slow burner of gradual intensity with a funky bassline as its stylistic centerpiece.
73-74-75 is a fascinating artifact of Black empowerment and unity, a creative, community-minded response to troubled times that points to music's ability not only to entertain but to heal.


With a hint of snow in the air a desire to cook and create delicious meals was stirring within me. A craving for something sweet and healthy consumed my thoughts. I also knew if I did not give in to the urge and begin mixing ingredients that I would reach for something that I shouldn't to satisfy my desires. Even though I am a clean eating activist the pantry always holds a sweet treat for one or more of our five grandchildren, and my husband who loves to indulge occasionally in a sweet dessert. I admit just knowing the sweet treats are in the pantry sometimes stirs a craving.
Yes, the battle with sweets is real, even after all these years. I have learned to fight fire with fire. When the cravings begin to lurk in the crevices of my mind I counter attack them with one of the many healthy sweet treats that do not leave me with an overwhelming sense of guilt, bloating, and discouragement. Instead, after indulging in a healthy treat I feel satisfied, full, and sense of pride feels my being for winning the small battle with sweet treats. Yes! I defeated and quieted the voices that call out…feed me, feed me! Again, the battle between myself and indulging in sweet treats is real!
Quickly I scoured the pantry for ingredients. I discovered that I had week old apples that I could use, or otherwise they would be prepared in protein waffles or a smoothie. I had organic reduced sugar dried cranberries hmm…yes, I had the fruit and the makings for a sweet baked treat. Now I needed to create this unknown sweet dish! The decision was made. I would have some delicious clean fruit muffins to enjoy with a midday cup of coffee.
Mix dry ingredients and then add wet ingredients one at a time.
Mix dry ingredients incorporating one ingredient at a time. Begin adding wet ingredients one at a time. Do not over mix as this will take away from the texture of the muffins. Fold in fruit as the last ingredients. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. I prefer olive oil spray. Scoop mixture with an ice cream scoop into the tin and drizzle lightly with honey. Bake until a wooden toothpick comes out clean. Baking time will vary with different ovens. I bake in a convection oven and my muffins were ready to remove in fifteen minutes.
I was excited as the aroma of the muffins filled the house. I quickly brewed a pot of coffee to enjoy with a muffin, or two. Delicious is an understatement! These muffins rocked! They were not too sweet, but delicious, moist, and very satisfying. I decided to put them to the test and allow our daughter and son in-law to be the critics. Both of them gave them a thumbs up and a rating of ten out of ten! They were a hit with everyone.
I hope you and your family enjoy my clean apple cranberry muffins as muffins as much me and my family did. Feel free to leave comments or feed back as it is always welcomed. If you enjoyed this recipe I can't wait for you try out my new clean luscious brownie recipe or my clean sweet potato casserole that I will be posting soon. So for now wishing you and your family a blessed week from the mountains of Kentucky!
A delicious sweet treat that tastes great any time of the day!
Good morning from the mountains of Kentucky! The day that thousands of children have awaited for months to arrive…has finally arrived…it's Christmas Eve! With our children now married and spending quality time with their families today, I find myself busy this morning baking and preparing for tomorrow's much awaited family Christmas dinner/breakfast. A few years ago we started a new tradition of breakfast for Christmas. It's a delicious change from the traditional turkey and dressing. Although, we still prepare a turkey and dressing for those who like to indulge in the traditional Christmas dinner there's plenty of delicious breakfast items on the menu as well.
Our Nativity Scene that adorns our mantle every year.
With the aroma of cornbread baking in the oven, banana bread cooling on the cooking rack, light rain tapping on the roof, and the tree brightly lit…I find myself recalling our family Christmas traditions from years gone by.
I recall how much we loved watching the much awaited Christmas cartoons each year. When I was growing up cartoons were not as convenient as they are today. Saturday was considered cartoon day! Cartoon channels didn't exist at that time, at least not in the mountains. The Internet was obsolete, and only seven channels graced our black and white television, while four of those channels were not always available. Much of the television reception depended on the line that protruded from our television and made its way up the mountain. If a branch fell on the line or the wind blew the cable over…it meant little to no television reception. So, with excitement in our eyes and voices we would gather around the small television hoping for a clear picture while indulging in a pan of homemade caramel corn ready to watch Rudolph, Frosty the Snowman, and many other wonderful cartoons that are now referred to as classics. These were simple times, but very happy times.
Cornbread baking for the dressing and clean banana bread for a sweet treat. While I bake I am enjoying one of my favorite childhood cartoons!
Bedtime came early for my brother, sister and myself. Even though we retired early sleep didn't come easy for us. We were far too excited to sleep thinking about the gifts under the tree. We had high hopes of receiving that one toy that we had dreamed of for weeks. The toy that we circled countless times in the Sears Wish Book. The toy that our mother worked hard to make sure she could afford for us. We knew that we could always depend on a couple new outfits of stylish clothing, and that one desired gift that we had dreamed all year about. When sleep finally arrived it felt like we had only been asleep for a short time when one or the other of us was waking the rest, and urging each other to get up with shouts that it was time to open our presents!
While still in our pajamas we would eagerly run to the tree where mommy would be awaiting us with her coffee in hand. As a child, I often wondered if she ever slept. It seemed that no matter what time we woke up for whatever reason she was already awake and either sewing, humming, drinking coffee, or all of the above. These were wonderful simple days that have come and gone. All too often these cherished simple times are now replaced with glitzy glamorous thematically decorated trees, elaborate gifts, stress from shopping, and often times lack of appreciation. My heart aches as I recall the days of my youth, family times, simple days, and our family traditions. These memories help me to strive and work hard to keep them alive in our family year after year while we continue to build new memories.
The simple family traditions that I grew up with have been revised with many new traditions. The wonderful traditions that I grew up with haven't been forgotten. I reflect on them often. Over the course of thirty-seven years our family has created many new memories, traditions, recipes and more that will be passed down to our grandchildren. These are years that I will never forget sharing with our children, and now with our grandchildren. Even though time marches on…we can still indulge and enjoy delving into our memories and into own Christmas traditions each year. So, this morning finds me a bit saddened by the sweet memories of the past…but anticipating and excited for the new memories to be made this weekend! I would love to hear from you and hear all about your family traditions. Just a few thoughts from the mountains of Kentucky this blessed Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
Good morning from the mountains of Kentucky. It's a cold and clear morning in the heart of the Appalachia Mountains. As I enjoy the warmth of my home, hot coffee, and a sense of satisfaction knowing that my Christmas shopping is finished, presents are wrapped, the turkey and ham are in the fridge, and ingredients for Christmas candy and cookies fill the pantry. However, a little twinge of sadness fills my being this morning as I browse the many cherished ornaments that grace our tree given to us by our children, grandchildren, students, and friends. I find myself missing days gone by. I miss reading the letters to Santa each year that our children would carefully plan, write with excitement, filled with anticipation, and above all their honest and sincerity. I miss baking cookies to leave beside tree, and miss eating them as well. I especially miss the sounds of our children rising before daylight eager to open gifts. There was no other feeling quite like watching the excitement in their faces as they stood before the tree admiring all the presents and a full stocking that had somehow magically appeared during the night. I say that to say this, cherish each day that you are given. As we all know, time is one thing that we cannot get back. However, I was reminded yesterday that we can enjoy and cherish past memories time and time again, and that we can also enjoy making new memories each and every day. Just because we cannot turn back time and relive those wonderful days gone by…we can envelop the present and create a new and lasting memory each and every day.
A locally owned gift shop filled with wonderful gifts and warm smiles.
I love to reflect on the days of shopping in our small town. The streets were always lit up and busy, the store windows were decorated with beautiful Christmas scenery, and people were bustling about looking for that special gift for that special someone. Smiles adorned the people's faces as they shopped and greeted each other with Christmas sentiments. It was a more personable time. Neighbors knew each other and above all cared about each other. The fear of a catastrophe happening in a crowded area never entered the minds of the happy shoppers. The true reason and meaning of Christmas was evident in the decor that filled the little shops windows. There was an excitement in the air…not the dread of overspending, finding the best or newest tablet or smart phone for children too young to even own a phone. The competitive spirit that seems to fill far too many today was not evident in this simpler time. A level of mutual respect was obvious between parents and children. Yes, it sounds like a scene from a Christmas movie, but it was actually a selfless place and a time that I grew up enjoying. However, it is also a time that I have sadly witnessed slowly dissipating and evolving into a totally different time.
The Makery…A locally owned shop filled with handmade gifts, warm smiles, and unique items as well as Christmas cheer.
Have you ever experienced dejavu? It is often defined as an overwhelming sense of familiarity. I think we've all had this experience at one time or another and to be quite honest, it's can be a little creepy when it happens. However, yesterday I found myself enjoying the moments of familiarity and was pleasantly reminded of the wonderful days of shopping in a small town.
Happily Ever After Boutique…another locally owned shop filled with beautiful gifts, clothes, and friendly faces.
My daughter and I decided to finish the last of our Christmas shopping yesterday. Like most people, we automatically drove to the local department store. The parking lot was crowded, the isles were even more crowded, the merchandise was in a disarray and picked over, people were rushing, complaining, and scampering to finish what appeared to be a dreaded chore. We left the store with a few items and a bit discouraged as we were still in need of a couple of gifts that we couldn't find in the chaotic and crowded store. We decided to turn our search in the direction of local shops. I must admit that I often forget about these wonderfully local owned shops as they are not in "the shopping" center. It was a wonderful feeling to be met with a warm and sincere greeting from the shop owner in each store. It was nice to be asked if they could help us find what we were in search of. Christmas music filled the buildings as did Christmas decorations that weren't as elaborate but were more sincere. It was sense of family, friends, neighbors, and a nostalgic feeling. With each purchase I was reminded that we cannot truly turn back time…but we can create new memories that are truly meaningful while also supporting locally owned small businesses. No, it wasn't exactly like the days gone by, but it was a day of shopping in beautiful small shops that will be a new cherished memory to reflect on in days to come as well as a new Christmas tradition. Just a few nostalgic thoughts from mountains of Kentucky this beautiful December morning.
The Axis…a locally owned coffee shop is a great place to get a delicious cup coffee and sweet treat or a bite of lunch with friends.

But first, a little about me and my coffee addiction. I have loved coffee since I was a little girl. Some of my earliest memories are of me spending the day with my mother while my brother and sister were at school. I remember sitting in the kitchen while she cooked, washed dishes, sewed, or whatever the task at hand was. No matter what she was doing she always had a cup of black coffee nearby. I also remember sipping her coffee after it cooled. I loved black coffee even at a very young age!
One of my favorite mugs!
Over time coffee has changed in many ways. It's not just perked as it was when I was growing up. Now you can perk, boil, or drip it! You can have it brewed in large quantities, or one cup at a time. There's hot coffee, cold coffee, and iced coffee. We can select from a wide variety of flavors, brands, and roasts. There's whole-bean, freshly ground, and all ready ground. We can buy coffee cakes, coffee chewing gum, coffee candy, cappuccino, espresso, frappuccino, lattes, and more! There's even organic coffee. The coffee craze is sweeping the nation, and I for one am thrilled!
A favorite flavor from our local coffee shop, The Axis!
So, for this week I would like to recommend one of my favorite organic coffees. I have found Green Mountain House Blend Organic Coffee to be delicious and satisfying. It's great prepared in a Keurig, dripped, or perked. I especially like buying the whole-bean and grinding just enough for either one pot, or one serving at a time. The aroma while brewing is sensational! This is great coffee with breakfast, as an evening cup, with a sweet treat, or with a meal! It can be ordered online from Amazon for a very reasonable price, and can be found in most super markets. I have tried several organic coffees, but have found myself returning to Green Mountain Coffee again, and again. Coffee was once a breakfast staple in most households. Today, coffee time is any time! Be sure to check out my post Clean Apple Ginger Bread for a delicious bread that goes great with a hot fresh cup of coffee! Feel free to leave your comments after trying this delicious coffee, and my sweet and moist apple ginger bread.
