While cycling to Maple Bay with Dave Steen and Tom Sharpe (see ‘Triple gold’ in our sports section) last week, our conversation turned eventually to the return of passenger rail service to Vancouver Island communities.
Sharpe, an avid cycling tourist, mentioned that he would prefer to see the rail line transformed into a cycling corridor along the lines of Greater Victoria’s Galloping Goose and Lochside trails, an opinion shared by Ladysmith resident Michael Smith in an Aug. 27 letter to the editor.
In today’s issue, a letter from Chronicle reader Robert Johnson questions whether or not sufficient demand exists to justify spending millions of dollars in public funds to restore rail service to southern Vancouver Island.
I became a huge fan of passenger rail service while living in South Korea (ROK). Summer weekends routinely involved me cramming my climbing and camping gear into a backpack in anticipation of hopping on a Saturday morning train to Gurye, the closest stop to Yongseo Pokpo, my favourite Korean crag.
Trains were often full to capacity, meaning demand for rail service is alive and well in the densely populated ROK.
But the ROK is home to more than 50 million people living in an area three times the size of Vancouver Island. That translates to more than 500 people per square kilometre, 20 times the density created by Vancouver Island’s 750,000 residents.
Simply put, I doubt we have the people power needed to populate new passenger trains.
On top of that, cycling infrastructure is cheap: Portland spent as much on its entire system of lanes and trails as it routinely spends on an average mile of freeway.
I think it’s time we all weighed in via a referendum.


The "King of Swing" desgination was foisted on him from the media of the day; but although Benny may not have "invented" swing (other orchestras had been playing it since the late 1920s), it was the Goodman Orchestra's break-out in 1935 that ignited swing as the popular music of its time...and subsequently made my favorite dance, Lindy Hop, the official great folk dance of the U.S.
Regardless of whether Goodman deserved the Kingly title or not, he fronted one helluva band. I may prefer Count Basie and Artie Shaw, but Goodman runs in a tight pack at the front of the race for greatest swing band of all time. I own a huge collection of his recordings, and any one of them can get my feet moving and Lindy Hop grooving. Especially the period from 1935–1938 when he had Gene Krupa playing drums and either Bunny Berigan of Harry James on the horn. In addition, black bandleader Fletcher Henderson was throwing out amazing charts for the band, bringing the sound of Harlem into the homes of Middle America through radios and 78s. It was a thrilling time in music, and every time I play Goodman's version of "Swingtime in the Rockies," or "Sing Me a Swing Song (And Let Me Dance)," or "Christopher Columbus," or "Roll 'Em," or "Stompin' at the Savoy," or any number of other astonishing pieces, I'm whisked back to that era.

- These earrings are handcrafted with:
Lampworked glass pig beads,
Clear glass E beads,
Sterling silver plated French hook ear wires.
- Approx. 1 inch/ 2.54 cm drop
These little pig earrings are so adorable! Pigs are such remarkable animals. They are smarter than dogs and have amazing memories. Did you know pigs like to play with toys and wrestle and excitedly leap? One of my favorite childhood books was “Charlotte’s Web.” Wilbur was so cute and I loved how Charlotte worked to make Wilbur her friend.
I hope that these little ones will bring you joy when you wear them!
“I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.”

The No Child Left Behind initiative may finally have been left behind, but school officials said they were positive the new changes will be a more workable replacement.
Common Core State Standards, a set of requirements being implemented in the United States aims at “preparing America’s students for college and career,” according to education officials from around the country. Through a baseline process, much like NCLB, states must assure students are meeting “appropriate” benchmarks every year.
According to the program’s website, the standards “clearly communicate what is expected of students at each grade level.” Teachers, parents and community leaders around the nation have collaborated to create the standards.
“The Common Core is a shared state movement between 46 states that says what information students should learn at each grade level,” State Superintendent Denise Juneau said.
Juneau said the standards will provide educators a way to monitor students’ progress in English language arts and math.
Three Forks incoming Superintendent Jerry Breen said introducing the Common Core will be one of the main items on his agenda as he takes over as superintendent.
“We need to get up to speed on the common core standards,” he said. “ When teachers buy new books, they’ll be looking to see that they’re aligned.”
Breen said the transition will take a lot of time, but eventually it will help students.
“What it will do is when kids come from other states, they should have matching curriculums,” he said.
The learning curve won’t be as severe, Breen said, so students who transfer won’t be outpacing or lagging behind classmates.
While some question whether the new program will stifle innovative teaching techniques, Breen said, “It’s up to the teachers to still be creative and still come up with new ideas.”
Juneau said that although the standards are universal, the teaching methods don’t need to be.
“Each school district still decides what text books they can use,” she said. “The shared standards are all the same. The way students learn that content does not have to be in the same way.”
That freedom in the classroom, is what Juneau said separates the Common Core from NCLB.
“I got so excited about the Common Core because it is such a shift from No Child Left Behind, which dictated exactly what teachers could do,” she said.
Belgrade High School Vice-Principal Paul Lamb said he has more hope for the Common Core, too.
“The problem with No Child Left Behind is the national legislature said 100 percent of students need to be proficient in math and reading by 2014. I don’t think any country has those standards,” he said. “Common Core strays away from 100 percent proficiency. They concentrate on a little more improvement every year.”
Lamb also said there is a Common Core Committee for the district that is helping teachers make the switch to new standards.
“Montana adopted the Common Core standards in November but there won’t be a full transition until 2014,” he said.


9 Future Work
There are many directions to explore with this new model. An obvious next step is to implement the model by extending an existing language compiler, and developing working applications for examples like those in Section 2.
It should also be possible to augment the Java Virtual Machine [LY96] with annotations similar to those proposed in Section 5. The bytecode verifier would check both types and labels at the time that code is downloaded into the system.
The computational model described in Section 5 has a reasonable set of data types. However, it ought to support user-defined data abstractions, including both parametric and subtype polymorphism.
Formal proofs of the soundness of the model might add some confidence. In the absence of any use of the "declassify" operation, labels are located in a simple lattice that applies equally to all users, and previous results for the security of lattice-based information flow models apply to this model as well. However, because "declassify" is intended to allow information to flow across or down the lattice, standard security policies such as non-interference [GM84] are intentionally inapplicable.
Because integrity [Bib77] constraints have a natural lattice structure, supporting them may be an interesting extension to our label model; the label model can be augmented to allow each owner to establish an independent integrity policy, just as each owner now can establish an independent information flow policy.
We have assumed an entirely trusted execution environment, which means that the model described here does not work well in large, networked systems, where varying levels of trust exist among nodes in the network. Different principals may also place different levels of trust in the various nodes. A simple technique for dealing with distrusted nodes is to transmit opaque receipts or tokens for the data. However, more work is needed to adapt our model to this kind of system. It is also likely that the model of output channels should be extended to differentiate among the different kinds of outputs from the system.
We have not considered the possibility of covert channels that arise from timing channels and from asynchronous communication between threads, which can also be used to create timing channels. The technique of having a timing label for each basic block, as in Andrews and Reitman [AR80], may help with this problem, but more investigation is needed.

Alessandro Del Piero has played his last game for Sydney FC after the A-League club said Monday they couldn't agree to a new contract with the Italian marquee star.
The two parties had been in discussions for months about extending Del Piero's two-season stay in Australia, but Sydney FC chairman Scott Barlow said the 39-year-old player had decided to end his time with the team.
"While it would have been fantastic to see Alessandro remain in Sky Blue, ultimately this has been his decision," Barlow said.
"Two years ago Sydney FC signed one of the greatest players to have ever worn a football shirt."
The former Juventus great, the biggest signing in Australia's domestic league history, has played a major role in increasing attendances, television audiences and media interest in the domestic A-League.
"There is no doubt that Alessandro's contribution has laid the foundations for a lasting legacy and he has inspired a whole new generation of Sydney FC football fans and future players," Barlow said.
Sydney FC said there would be discussions with Del Piero about continuing his relationship with the club.
"Today is bitter-sweet. While we would have liked to see Alessandro remain at Sydney, his decision now allows us to further our discussions about some exciting new opportunities for our ongoing relationship and to build on the legacy that has been started," Barlow said.
"It has been a pleasure and a privilege to have him at our club and we look forward to seeing him in the near future when he is next back in Sydney."
The Italian great spent 19 years at Juventus, scoring 208 goals in 513 appearances before joining the A-League.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a clinical condition characterized by increased pulmonary arterial pressure arising from a heterogeneous range of diseases that has a deteriorating effect on the quality of life and may cause early mortality if left untreated. Connective tissue disorders (CTD)-associated PH is the second most common cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), after the idiopathic form, categorized as group I. Systemic scleroderma (SSc) accounts for 75% of CTD-associated PH cases. Although SSc ranks first place for CTD-associated PH, SSc is followed by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), having a lesser frequency of PH occurrence, while it occurs as a rare complication in cases with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inflammatory myositis. PH may also occur during non-SSc CTDs and even other rheumatic diseases, including Behcet’s disease and adult-onset Still’s disease, albeit to a lesser extent. The prognosis of CTD-associated PH is worse than the other forms of PH. Although, as in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH), the mechanism of CTD-related PH is associated with an increase in vasoconstrictors like endothelin-1 and a decrease in vasodilators like prostacyclin and nitric oxide production, inflammation, and autoimmune mechanisms also play a role in the development and progression of PH. This may lead to the involvement of more than one mechanism in CTD-associated PH. Knowing which mechanism is dominant is very important in determining the treatment option. This review will primarily focus on the epidemiology, risk factors, and prognosis of PH that develops during rheumatic diseases; the pathogenesis and treatment will be briefly mentioned in light of the newly published guidelines.
•Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) associated with connective tissue disease (CTD) in Western countries is the second most common type of PAH after idiopathic PAH (IPAH).
•CTD-PH can be seen most often in systemic scleroderma (SSc), less in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), mixed CTD (MCTD), and rarely in other CTDs.
•While current guidelines recommend annual transthoracic echocardiography as a screening test for asymptomatic SSc patients, screening for PH is not advised in the absence of symptoms suggestive of PH in other CTDs.
•CTD-PH treatment can be divided into specific vasodilator PH treatments and immunosuppressive therapy. Current treatment guidelines recommend the same treatment algorithm for patients with CTD-associated PH as for patients with IPAH. Several case series have shown the beneficial effect of immunosuppressive agents in patients with SLE-PH and MCTD-PH.

Mario Bazán Cellars
Napa Valley AVA
One of the finest in Napa Valley
The story of Mario Bazán and his Mario Bazán Cellars is not too dissimilar from a number of new wineries that have cropped up throughout Northern California during the past decade. These wineries are owned by Mexican immigrants that migrated to California and began working in the fields for established wineries and later opened their own companies in various facets of the wine industry.
In the case of Mario Bazán Cellars, the odyssey began in 1973 when Mario Bazán, now 57, left his native Oaxaca State (called the culinary capital of Mexico), in extreme southern Mexico. Bazán came to Napa Valley on the advice of his uncle who lived in Oakland. In Napa Valley, he first worked for Joseph Phelps Vineyards and other wineries until finally landing at iconic Robert Mondavi Vineyards in 1979. Working his way up the ladder, Mario Bazán was eventually made a foreman three years later and put in charge of some of Robert Mondavi’s most prestigious vineyards including the famous Opus One Vineyard in Oakville.
Mario Bazán looked and listened to everything around him and an entrepreneurial spirit emerged in 1997 after he left Mondavi and worked two years for Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. Then, Bazán left Stag’s Leap and formed his own vineyard management company that soon became widely regarded as among the finest in Napa Valley.
But the urge to own his own winery was still at the core of Bazán’s development goals and in 1999 Bazán noticed that several of his vineyard clients had extra wine grapes to sell. The thought of his own winery beckoned once again, and this time, Mario Bazán decided to do something about it.
He scouted the area for a potential vineyard site and finally settled on a small 1 1/2 acre location in the foothills surrounding Atlas Peak.
“I had several clients around the land I found and their grapes were wonderful,” he recalled. “At first I bought the property as only an investment, but we have really fallen in love with it and will probably stay there for some time.”
After planting the acreage to Cabernet Sauvignon, Mario Bazán began looking in earnest for a winemaker. A long-term friendship made at Joseph Phelps with an assistant named Victoria Coleman proved to be a winning combination for Mario Bazan’s first two Cabernet Sauvignons. She quickly established herself as a definitive up and coming winemaker in the industry.
Today, the wines for Mario Bazan Cellars are made by consulting enologist David DeSante, who has nearly twenty years of winemaking and viticultural experience. His multifaceted skills combined with Mario’s expertise in the vineyard has created an incredibly strong team behind the brand.
The first release of Mario Bazán Cellars’ Cabernet Sauvignon was a microscopic 290 cases, but earned major kudos from none other than wine guru Robert Parker. To the modest winery owner Mario Bazán, the impressive ratings and high scores came as a surprise.
“I felt that as a winery we were really unique,” he continued. “I was an ‘unknown’ in the winery business and my philosophy was to take the ball and run with it. Needless to say, I was extremely happy with the results.” Winery production has risen to more than 1,200 cases and Bazán hopes to one day produce a good deal more wine. He currently sources from his own estate vineyard, in addition to the many vineyards his vineyard management company oversees and is always keeping his eyes open for new potential sites.
In 2003, Mario met his now wife Gloria (a dentist in Mexico) who moved to Napa. Gloria is currently serving as Mario Bazán Cellars’ general manager as well as the mother of the pair’s twins, Antonio and Alexander.
It is undoubtedly an understatement that Mario Bazán and his winery have exceeded even their wildest expectations. Few wineries hit the jackpot so early in their development due to the fact that the wine business is so fiercely competitive in so many aspects. Only the thoroughness and expertise of the self-made grower turned vintner and his unwavering passion made it all possible.
The high standards Mario sets for himself and his workers in the vineyards are shared by Gloria in the winery and reflected in the production of each wine in the Mario Bazan Cellars portfolio. Their winemaking venture is a natural progression in bringing Mario’s life’s work from the ground to the table. Cheers to their remarkable success story – and equally remarkable wines.
A Note from Mario & Gloria
Dear Platinum Series Members,
We are delighted to introduce you to our 2013 Mario Bazan Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, a tangible symbol of our family’s passion and commitment to cutting-edge grape growing techniques and artisan winemaking.
Our meticulous handcrafted approach in making this limited production wine expresses the land’s exceptional terroir and captures the varietal’s genuine aromatics, essence and flavors.
In 2013, Mother Nature was very generous and provided the Napa Valley with an almost perfect growing season. We are delighted with the results achieved by this bountiful vintage.
Our passion and genuine love of the vine is our family heritage and we are honored to share our wine with you and yours.
Many thanks for being a part of our family’s journey.
Mario and Gloria Bazán

Want to discover Tarfaya? There are a thousand and one ways to do so. Tarfaya is a jewel that is still untouched on the Atlantic coast. Going to Tarfaya is worth a detour just to be between ocean and desert, a universe of confusing contrasts.
Tarfaya is away from the world, a hemmed-in city, a corridor of wind between sea and desert. It remains however a lively little fishing port which faces the Canary Islands.
Tarfaya is a city in southern Morocco, called Villa Bens during the Spanish period. It is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, 890km southwest of Rabat, its population is 7,000.
Tarfaya is a symbolic city in Moroccan history dating back more than two and a half centuries as testified its historical monuments indicating the presence of the colonising powers including occupation in 1882 by the English.
They built a trading post there called Casa del Mar, which is currently in a state of disrepair.
As part of a strong desire to develop tourism in this region, the shipping line connecting Tarfaya to the Canary Islands should again be operational in the near future.
A tourism project in Tarfaya is underway and a wind farm is also being implemented.
To speak of Tarfaya is also to recount the miles of white sand beach, a still-intact landscape of wilderness, a population among which emblematic figures still bear witness to the great eras linked to their small town.
In the meantime, the museum dedicated to the life and work of the great French aviator Antoine de St Exupéry should not be missed.
Tarfaya is still little known, an authentic small town in full development which will soon become a tourist destination of the Kingdom.

Samsung has launched its next flagship Galaxy S5. The Galaxy S5 was launched yesterday at an unpacked event at MWC. The event was packed to full houses, everybody expected new features from Samsung Galaxy S5. Samsung is always known for copy paste, Samsung just copies the features and packs into their device, same has happened with Galaxy S5. Many people expected massive spec sheet for Galaxy S5 but what Samsung gave us with Galaxy S5? Nothing literally Nothing. Samsung disappoints in every aspect. Many leaks before the launch had already spoiled the party. Even photos of Samsung Galaxy S5 was leaked hours before the launch. The expected spec sheet was also leaked by many analysts, but gave lower than expected spec sheet.
Also Read: Samsung Galaxy S5 Launched
In this way people trolled Samsung on social networking sites:
Many people who owns Samsung Device complaints about the cheap plastic body. It was rumored that Samsung is planning to launch metal chassis for galaxy S5, but Samsung used dotted back which more looks like original nexus device. People compared the new design band-aid. The above image goes viral on social networking sites. Doesn’t both band-aid and galaxy S5 look like same. The waterproof body is also nothing new, Sony is using waterproof body since years. And they have beautiful design and they are not using shitty dotted design for making device waterproof.
The specification of device is almost same as Samsung Galaxy S4, Galaxy S5 is just 0.1 inch bigger than S4, it uses same Quad core processor and RAM is also Kept same to 2 GB. The Display is also same FHD 1080p display which was used in Galaxy S4. So from the specification point of view Samsung hasn’t provided anything new.
Also Read: Samsung Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo Announced.
The fingerprint sensor used is also copied from iPhone 5s, also the fingerprint sensor isn’t very sophisticated. Users has to swipe vertically, The verge says we found it to be quite unreliable and virtually impossible to activate when holding the phone in one hand. So this is gimmick feature by Samsung. Samsung has added fingerprint sensor just to stand in the competition, they haven’t tested it thoroughly before launching it, while apple is always known for perfection.
The heart rate monitor feature is very less useful as not many people use this feature to measure the heart rate. This feature is more capable when paired with Galaxy Gear Fit Device.
We didn’t liked the Samsung Galaxy S5 much. If you already own Galaxy S4 or even Galaxy S3 you don’t have any good reason to upgrade. We think Galaxy Note 3 is best device from Samsung, its design and features are great.
Do you like Samsung Galaxy S5?

Like the Georgian, the Federal style’s popularity largely predates the settlement of Utah, yet is nonetheless evident in early buildings in the state. The continuing influence of this subdued style may be seen in buildings that have the basic Classical symmetrical shape but lack extremes in external decoration. Elliptical and round-arch transoms or panels over windows or doors are distinguishing features of this rather plain style. Often found on two-story, one-room-deep, two-room-wide houses, the Federal style is also used in public and religious buildings.

--elliptical arched openings
--thin corner boards (vertical boards at the building’s corners)

When your drains don't work, we do!
Most of us think our sump pumps simply work, but most sump pumps aren't activated until there is enough water in the pump basin to signal it to switch on.
Checking your sump pump once in a while ensures it is fully operational. To check if your sump pump is working, dump some water into the basin that houses the sump pump until the ball of the pump is activated and pumps out the excess water. While it is pumping, also check that the pipe exiting the basin out into daylight is not obstructed from the outside. Sometimes tree leaves, dirt and debris get caught in the pipe and can cause it to clog. If the sump pump is not pumping water properly, it may need to be replaced. Replacing the sump pump can help ensure that your home is protected in heavy rains and inclement weather.
Keep your sump pump running in a power outage: Consider installing a battery back-up. The pump will operate during a blackout to prevent a flood or using a bucket to empty out your sump pump basin.
Some homeowners also have a second pump installed to adequately accommodate the size of the house or remove excess water twice as fast. Let us give you an estimate.
Leaks from pipes, plumbing fixtures and fittings are a significant source of water waste for water utilities and the residential customer.
Research has shown that the typical home loses 2,000 to 20,000 gallons (7.6 m3 to 76 m3) of water per year due to leaks. Some leaks are readily apparent, such as dripping faucets and leaking water heaters. Unfortunately, many leaks go undetected for years because the source of the leak is not visible. When leaks are hidden, the water escapes undetected, such as toilet flapper valves and cracked water supply lines.
Individually or collectively, the leaks in a single home can easily waste thousands of gallons of water each year; costing money to BOTH the water customer and the utility.
A hot water heater is a specialized device used for regulating hot or cold water within your home. It is either a tank-type, a tank-less or a solar device.
Different problems may be associated with different types of heaters. However, there are some common issues that you may experience, regardless of the type of tank you have.
Is your bath faucet running cold when you need to bathe or shower to relax? Hot water heaters have a peak performance period.
If yours is passed its prime, replacing it can save you a lot of headache in the long run. Older water heaters leak and can cause damage before the leak is detected.

Visitors to a private event, coinciding with the Los Angeles (California) Auto Show, were impressed by a sleek, powerful-looking concept car affectionately called Fast Eddy. The moniker derives from the late Ed Taylor, designer for General Motors (GM), cult figure for many car buffs, and father of Charles Taylor, co-founder of the Aria Group in Irvine, California.
The 21-year-old design and fabrication company has built concept cars for major automakers and helps the Singer Co. restore classic Porsche 911 automobiles. Charles Taylor and Aria’s two other Co-Founders, Clive Hawkins and Kevin Cain, are fans of the late Ed Taylor’s work so they decided to design and build a car they think Fast Eddy would drive today – a mid-engine sports car inspired by classic American designs and loaded with style and power.
The car’s front end is reminiscent of GM’s mid-engined Aerovette cars, while the rear features a tapering greenhouse look and fender blisters. Other striking details include overhead outboard air intakes, headlamps and taillamps that are invisible until illuminated, and wheels from specialty producer HRE. Aria officials envision the car being built around a carbon-fiber monocoque and carbon-fiber body panels.
“We most definitely would use the LT4 Corvette engine,” Hawkins says, citing the GM engine V-8’s output of 650hp and 650 lb-ft of torque in the Z06 as world class by any measure. The chassis is “ready to go,” he says, and the whole vehicle would weigh less than 3,000 lb.
At this point, the car is only a concept, with no engine and no interior, but Hawkins and Design Chief Nicholas David say the car was received with such high praise that the Aria Group is now considering making a limited number.
“The car has been designed with the feasibility and engineering needed to build this car and achieve amazing performance and quality levels,” Hawkins says. “Aria has the full capability to engineer and build this car.”
A key to that capability stems from Aria’s partnership with CAD/CAM experts Tebis America Inc. in Troy, Michigan.
“Aria began working with us a couple of years ago,” says Michael Thiessen, Tebis’ West Coast sales manager. “They initially purchased one seat of Tebis. They quickly became convinced that Tebis should be their primary solution going forward, and now they have four seats.”
“We started Aria to give our customers access to the best digital technology in terms of design and manufacturing,” says Cain, Aria’s chief technology officer. “We didn’t feel we were achieving the efficiency and quality we needed on CAM and programming. After nearly a year of investigation we found that Tebis was the best programming solution. As a small company, we need to watch our resources, so deciding to switch to Tebis was a big decision for us.”
It’s a decision that paid off.
“It is an extremely capable, surface-based machining software, not one that relies on mesh models,” Cain says. “Our products have highly complex design surfaces so we needed a software that could support that.”
Tebis uses a surface-based approach, Thiessen says, to enhance quality.
“The surface created by mesh data is essentially like the pattern on the surface of a soccer ball – a series of pentagons,” Thiessen says. “You can’t generate highly accurate curves. In addition, mesh creates a surface that can be very heavy.”
The representation of the part’s surface is created using many smaller surfaces (as with those pentagons mentioned earlier). This added weight can be a problem when generating toolpaths. A Tebis surface, by comparison, is light, making it easier to work with.
Better surfaces were just one factor that influenced Aria in its decision to go with Tebis. Another was automation. Specialized functions enable programmers to automate and standardize aspects of the NC programming process, allowing programmers to work faster in creating features and toolpaths without losing quality. Automation links directly with another major concern at Aria – speed.
Need for speed
“We have a focus on speed, speed of creating toolpaths plus speed of running the programs,” Cain says.
Algorithms within Tebis speed preparation and programming, even for large components and complex geometries. Simultaneous calculation processes help accelerate NC programming, and the software’s multiple setup and tool match functions can save time on the shop floor.
All the Fast Eddy body parts were programmed with Tebis, says Aria Programmer David Cardenas, created with the fastest turnaround time of any similar parts that Aria had done.
Hawkins is confident that the same sort of efficiency will characterize the next stage of the project if Aria moves to full build, which depends on interest shown in the car. Pricing for Fast Eddy is predicted to be in the range of $600,000 to $650,000, depending on hardware specifications and the total number built. Hawkins reports that Aria could produce as many as 100 of the cars, although the earliest the first could appear would be 18 months to two years.
At the very least, the concept is a promotional tool for Aria as it engages automakers, boutique builders, and restoration groups like Singer.
“It shows that we can design as a company; it’s a reminder of our quality; and shows that we can do the design, engineering, and build, even in limited production,” Hawkins says. That’s a significant benefit for a company whose work is 60% automotive.
This represents quite a journey for Aria which, as Cain notes, started out as a design consultancy, adding, “Increasingly, though, customers wanted help in bringing their designs to life. So, we got into prototyping and then into limited production.”
Today, the company has six 5-axis machining centers and other production equipment at its 60,000ft2 facility in Irvine, along with 100 employees. In addition to automotive, the company also does some aerospace and entertainment industry work.
Programming for the 5-axis machining centers, as well as other equipment at the plant, is done in Traverse City, Michigan, where Cain and his programmers are based.
“With the distance between Traverse City and California, it’s vital that we thoroughly and realistically check our programs before we release them – even more vital than is typically the case,” Cain says
Among the things Aria focuses on are safety and accuracy, both of which are heightened by Tebis simulation.
Cain explains, “We run their DMM3 premium package, with full 5-axis simulation capability.”
Tebis simulation allows users to replicate complete machining sequences in the identical virtual machine environment, even when using multiple NC machines. It lets users run virtual feasibility tests for their production department and provides support for job-cost planning – vital for small- to medium-sized shops. It also increases process safety through visualization, collision avoidance, testing, and production optimization.
“Safety of the workpiece, the machine, and of course of the operator, are vital to us, and that’s another area where our Tebis simulation with its collision avoidance capabilities really shines,” Cain states.
Tebis simulation and safety functions are designed to enable unattended machining/lights-out machining and reduce time and expense. They help prevent tool damage and expensive post-collision repairs to the machines, reduce setup and run times, and cut downtime and documentation time. Aria fully integrates Tebis CAD/CAM, simulation, and safety functions to link its CAD/CAM/NC process chain.
“We continue to do our CAD work in CATIA,” Cain says. “But it’s all pretty seamless because Tebis has an excellent interface with CATIA. On the CAM side, Tebis is a single-source solution, from programming and verification of the data, through posting of the data. Before, we had to use one company for programming and another one for posting. “
Cain says three of Aria’s floating Tebis seats “are programming seats, and one is a viewing seat that we can bring down to the shop floor for our operators. Our people have used it in the toolroom to help them decide which mill to post to a job.”
Aria personnel attended training at Tebis and onsite at their Irvine facility.
“The training was excellent,” Cain reports. “And when we had training onsite we were able to customize it. Tebis has a pretty short learning curve. Our guys became proficient very quickly – in a matter of a few months, they went from not knowing Tebis at all to becoming very proficient programmers.”


(AmericanProsperity.com) – Toyota has just recently put out a warning to drivers who own Corollas, Matrices, RAV4, and Pontiac Vibes for them to stop driving them due to the Takata airbag recall. The company, along with General Motors, says that the Takata airbags have the potential to explode.
The warning was issued Monday and it covers different types of Corollas and Matrix hatchbacks made from the years 2003 to 2004. It also covers RAV4s made between 2004 and 2005 and nearly 11,000 Pontiac Vibes made between 2003 and 2004.
Toyota said in a statement, “If the airbag deploys, a part inside is more likely to explode and shoot sharp metal fragments, which could cause serious injury or death to the driver or passengers.”
Takata airbags are used on the driver’s side of these RAV4s, while they are installed on the passenger’s side in Corollas and Matrixes. There is also a separate recall for the Corolla and Matrix, because, according to Toyota, the airbags can be deployed without an accident.
The Takata airbag problem has been an issue for many car models and makes. In fact, it’s been known that at least 26 people have died as a result of the Takata airbag since 2009 in the United States, and about 400 people have been injured. The biggest issue is that the Takata airbags can explode with tons of force, which can blow a part of the metal canister, causing metal pieces to fly. This defect is due to it being exposed to humidity and high heat. The airbag defect caused Takata in Japan to file for bankruptcy.
Both General Motors and Toyota told owners that they should reach out to a dealer near them to get serviced and not to drive the cars into the dealership, or at all. Some dealers may propose different options offering to tow the car and bring it to the dealer, mobile repair, or a vehicle pickup and delivery option.
Owners can find out if their cars are affected by entering the 17-digit vehicle identification number of their car at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website, or nhtsa.gov/recalls, and it will verify if your car has been affected or not.

The government has been criticised over its response to the air pollution super-inquiry carried out by a combination of several parliamentary committees.
Conducted by the Environment Food and Rural Affairs, Environmental Audit, Health and Social Care and Transport Committees, the probe concluded that the government needed to do more to tackle the issue.
The government’s response had been to pledge steps such as legislating for a single air quality framework instead of a patchwork of legislation, with better health advice, more use of local authority data, the establishment of a personal air quality messaging system and set a target of halving the number of people living in areas exceeding World Health Organisation air particulate limits by 2025.
All this, however, falls short of what the committees asked for, the chairman of the Environment Food and Rural Affairs Committee Neil Parish MP claimed.
He added: “Our report called on government to promote cross-departmental working, force car manufacturers to contribute to a Clean Air Fund, and commit real financial support to local authorities breaching NO2 limits. We see little evidence of this happening.”
Mr Parish added that the committee is “extremely disappointed” that stronger steps have not been taken against pollution caused by the motor manufacturing sector.
“The car industry is partly responsible for our toxic streets, and seeing the government resist calls for an industry-financed Clean Air Fund is incomprehensible.”
James Thornton, chief executive of environmental law firm Client Earth, also pitched in with criticism, accusing ministers of having “skated over” the commitments the committees sought.
He added that providing more information to the public is useful, but of little use if concrete steps are not taken to deal with the root causes of poor air quality.
Among the steps requested by MPs was that the manufacture of conventional petrol and diesel cars in the UK should happen sooner than the current target date of 2040.
Ellie Baker, brand manager at Fuel Card Services, comments: “The response the government’s proposals has produced suggests this matter is far from settled. Expect a lot more pressure to be brought to bear in the weeks and months ahead.”

Landfill battle gets murkier
Sides disagree over 'deal' offer
BY MICHAEL D. CLARK
The Cincinnati Enquirer
MORROW With Warren county's only landfill closing at the end of May, anti-landfill activists and operators of the waste site continue to battle even differing on what happened at a March 22 meeting.
Anti-landfill activists claim Bigfoot Run landfill operators offered Morrow and Warren County officials an out-of-court compromise that would require the opponents to stop battling against a new waste site.
But Bigfoot Run operators say nothing of the sort has been offered.
During the meeting, attorneys for Morrow, Warren County and the Morrow Environmental Preservation Association (MEPA) met to discuss the status of two lawsuits filed by Browning-Ferris Industries of Ohio Inc. (BFI).
BFI has lawsuits pending against Warren County commissioners, who in December voted to reject rezoning of BFI's Bigfoot Run landfill for expansion, and Morrow officials for denying them a rezoning request in 1997 for the Alpine resort site.
According to MEPA, a sce nario was discussed during the attorneys' meeting by which BFI would give the Alpine site to Morrow in exchange for MEPA halting its fight against Bigfoot Run's expansion in Union Township.
But BFI District Vice President Rob Dolder denied knowledge of an offer being passed on to county attorneys attending the meeting. Such an offer, he added, is unlikely.
Mr. Dolder said BFI has previously stated that it would halt its efforts to get zoning approval for the Alpine site if MEPA, and county commissioners, would not oppose expansion of Bigfoot Run.
But right now we are pursuing both of them, he said. With a little luck maybe we'll win both of them.
MEPA attorney John Phillips said the anti-landfill group rejected such a hypothetical solution to the lawsuits as being unfair to residents who want to be rid of the last operating landfill in Warren County when Bigfoot Run closes.
MEPA said no to short-circuiting the legal process to determining who is right, he said.
He described the two-hour meeting in Lebanon, which was not attended by a BFI representative, as a preliminary stage of negotiation.

It is not enough to learn how to play a musical instrument but more importantly, to learn the Music Theory. It is like before you get on the road to drive a car, you have to take your highway code basic test. A strong foundation in Music Theory will allow you to compose, improvise, accompany, analyse the music that you perform and go on to learn new music long after you have stopped taking lessons.
Piano teachers and parents of young children, ages 5-6, taking piano lessons in Singapore are spoilt for choice when it comes to Music Theory Books. But what are the things to look out for in choosing a good book that is value for money? In this article, I will only focus on beginner Music Theory books.
There are 2 main areas that beginner Music Theory must cover: Rhythm and Note spelling. Every beginner Music Theory book in the market will cover Music Clefs and notes from an octave below Middle C to an octave above Middle C. They would have learnt the rhythmic values of: crotchet, minim, dotted minim, semibreve, bar lines and time signatures. Hence if content is the same in all the Music Theory books what is the differentiating factor? I will say it is Pacing and Presentation.
Children learn best when new concepts are taught at an even and moderate pace with a lot of reinforcements along the way. For example, it is insufficient to teach the child to write Middle C by having them complete pages of repetitive and mindless copying of the note. Conversely, pasting a lot of stickers cannot replace the skill of holding a pencil and patiently writing out the new note manually.
The best presentation in Music Theory books for young beginners is one which combines the introduction of new concepts and reinforced with a myriad of activities centering around the new concept taught. For example, after teaching the student to write Middle C, they have colouring activities, sticker activities, and game activities. Ideally the activities are mentally stimulating and engaging. It should be simple and yet challenge the child to think a little bit harder.
WELL CRAFTED ILLUSTRATIONS & STICKERS
A good Music Theory book for children will contain illustrations that is colourful and appealing to children. The pictures itself should entice the children to be curious and motivate them to keep coming back to the book for more. The pictures should be cohesive from cover to cover with a unified look.
Take for example the illustrations on a page lifted from Theory Explorer book 1 by Dorothy Chia. This page is teaching the child that low sounds move leftwards on the piano. Both the baby bear and Papa bear are playing the drums, with Papa bear placed at the low end. A child looking at this page will associate the picture with himself learning to play a musical instrument and having a positive support from his father. Furthermore, the baby bear will have a higher sound than the Papa bear. With this understanding imprinted in the mind, the child then proceeds to work on the exercise by pasting the stickers onto the blank boxes.
CROSS PLATFORM LEARNING
Children in schools are now exposed to learning across several subjects at any one time. Very few Music Theory books attempt to do this. Theory Explorer 2 by Dorothy Chia on the surface looks like any other Music Theory book out there but with an added subplot of conservation of planet Earth’s limited resources. The book subtly dwells on conservation of our planet’s forest, water and air. This is especially evident in the illustration through the colour themes: Green (forest), Blue (water) and Brown (air). The cartoons of tiger, dolphin and owls further reinforce the endangered animal species that we must protect from extinction. And what better way to teach this than with our very young children?
TESTS AND INCULTURATION
Very often Music Theory books will summarise the concepts learnt by giving the child a test at the end of a chapter. However, students can still be tested on their acquisition of new knowledge by cleverly weaving the test into a fun activity that is less intimidating to the young child.
In Theory Explorer book 1, there are ‘Storytime’ where the child is ‘tested’ on his knowledge of the new music notes learnt by filling in the blanks in a narrative passage. On top of that, the stories are also interestingly lifted off from the Asian roots of the author.
A well chosen Music Theory books must be pedagogically accurate, with colourful stickers and illustrations that bring out the message of the concepts taught. A book that is able to combine Music with a subplot such as Conservation of the planet is a bonus and definitely value for money given the knowledge and values that the child would pick up in the course of working through the myriad of theory exercises and activities.

Lorde, 26, might no longer be part of ‘the love club‘.
In a recent open letter titled ‘How I’ve been, revised’, the singer hinted she has broken up with her longtime boyfriend Justin Warren, 42.
In the candid statement seen by NZ Herald, the Supercut singer shared with fans on Wednesday, September 20, that she is “living with heartbreak again.”

“I’m different but the same. I ache all the time, I forget why and then remember,” she emotionally penned.
“I’m not trying to hide from the pain, I understand now that pain isn’t something to hide from, that there’s actually great beauty in moving with it. But sometimes I’m sick of being with myself.”
Lorde, whose real name is Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor, was first linked to the music executive in 2015.
The singer and her partner, who is 17 years her senior, have kept their relationship on the low over the years, with rare appearances including a Sydney outing in May this year.

In the letter, the Green Light singer carried on to reveal she has been struggling with illness behind the scenes this year.
“My body is really inflamed. It’s trying to tell me something and I’m trying to support it but nothing seems to help and I get frustrated,” she candidly wrote.
“My gut isn’t working properly, my skin is worse than ever, I’ve gotten sick half a dozen times,” the Royals singer added.
The 26-year-old has been booked and busy over the last 12 months with her Solar Power World Tour which began in April 2022 and finished up in Australia in March this year.
“I realised earlier this year that listening to my body is hard for me, it’s something I never really learned how to do,” she said.

Lorde shared that amid ongoing physical health struggles, she had made the decision to stop medication she had been taking everyday for over a decade.
“The little yellow pill I took every morning for thousands of mornings since I was 15, I stopped taking it five days ago. Gonna see how it goes,” she wrote.
In the letter, Lorde also spoke candidly about recreational drug use and the negative role of social media in her life before finishing on a more positive and light-hearted note by assuring fans that don’t need to “worry” about her.
Just last month, the singer, who notoriously doesn’t post on social media very often, hinted at a return to the music scene.
Lorde’s third studio album, Solar Power was released back in 2021. Since then, the Ribs singer embarked on her world tour and hasn’t dropped any new tunes.
Sharing a series of snaps of her swimming in an indoor pool to Instagram, Lorde wrote: “No this is not the start of anything out there, just want u to know there’s a light on inside me .. show it to you soon.”
