More Information about the "Loudness Wars"
Music is getting louder, and sounding worse.
Engineers and artists are using modern technology to push the average level of recorded music up and up and up against the "brick wall" maximum level of the CD format. This results in distortion, lack of punch and a flat, two-dimensional, lifeless sound.
If you've ever wondered why you feel tired and get a headache listening to recent CDs, but not discs released back in the early nineties, the Loudness Wars are probably to blame.
The most famous example in recent years is Metallica's "Death Magnetic", which made the headlines when over 20,000 fans signed a petition asking for the CD to be remixed or remastered. CDs have a maximum dynamic range of over 96dB (decibels).
Until recently, the loudest CDs had a dynamic range of 8dB or more, even at their very loudest points. Much of "Death Magnetic" has a dynamic range of only 2dB, and most people agree that it sounds terrible as result. Dynamic Rangeis a measure of how much contrast there is in music, how much light and shade, how exciting it sounds.
It's a two-edged sword, though. Too much, and rock won't rock, pop won't pop, and you'll have to keep adjusting the volume. Too little and you'll get sick of listening to even your favourite music far quicker, and probably end up with a headache.
Sadly, by 2010 this trend has affected almost every genre of music. You can hear it for yourself by listening to the audio examples in the short interview I did for BBC Radio 4 soon after "Death Magnetic" was released – click the grey arrow in the box over there on the right !
Or, check out this YouTube video comparision of the released CD version of Death Magnetic, and the much lower-level version used on the Guitar Hero game soundtrack
Metallica "Death Magnetic" CD vs. Guitar Hero Video
What Can We Do ?
Join in on March 20th 2010 – Dynamic Range Day ! Taking part is simple
Just SHOUT ALL DAY !
(For non-nerds, typing in ALL CAPITALs is know on the internet as "shouting")
Why SHOUT all day ? Because over-compressed, distorted, unnecessarily high-level Loudness-War-Casualty music sounds as if it's shouting at you, all the time. IT'S LOUD AND IT STAYS LOUD AND IT's ONLY LOUD AND VERY SOON IT WEARS YOU OUT. AND GETS BORING !
So if we SHOUT all day on March 20th – on Twitter, on Facebook, in our emails – everywhere – if we shout and explain why we're doing it when people ask, by linking to this post, or TurnMeUp.org, or the Dynamic Range Foundation, then hopefully we'll spread the message far and wide:
So please, sign up for the Facebook Event to stay updated. If you have a blog, write a post explaining why you support Dynamic Range Day, and a Dynamic Range Day Banner.
Tell your friends – talk about #DYNAMICRANGEDAY on Twitter and see if we can get it trending. Simon Howes has set up a mySpace page – tell all your friends about it !
Lets get this issue everywhere.
Show your support – sign up now.

This twist on the Louisiana favorite piles grilled shrimp and creamy-dressed cabbage onto a crusty bun. Bread that's soft on the inside and crusty on the outside is perfect for a Po' Boy sandwich. We grill both sides of a whole-wheat bun for that added crunch. You may need a few extra napkins to enjoy it, but this quick and easy sandwich is well worth it. Serve with: Sauteed corn and bell peppers.

I am working on new layout of my site & I come across GIZMODO site, I found that the site can make use of page scroll bar to scroll part of the contents in the site. How can they make it ? I studied their CSS via Firebug, but I am quite confused.
Here is my testing page 1 : http://raptor.hk/dev/theme/dummy.html (this page can center the contents, but cannot scroll as I want)
Here is my testing page 2 : http://raptor.hk/dev/theme/dummy2.html (this page can scroll as I want, but cannot center)
I just want to make the page with left side content scrolling with page scroll bar, but right side content stays in the original position, plus the whole site should align center, i.e. combining my testing page 1 & 2. Can anyone give me some lights?

Sew it, Grow it, Show it! The 2012 La Plata County Fair events will begin this weekend and will run through Aug. 12. The County Fair is always a great celebration of our community and 4-H youths. We are very proud of all the hard work and dedication our 4-H members have made this year.
The ARBA rabbit show and 4-H horse show will be Saturday. In addition, the 4-H Horse Gymkhana event will be held Sunday. Food and beverage concessions will be available this weekend. The proceeds from the concessions will go to support Ignacio FFA.
Monday and Tuesday will be big days for many of our 4-H members. On these days, we will host contests, quizzes, tests and 4-H home economics, natural resources and general projects judging and interviews. These events allow our members to complete their projects through positive evaluation methods.
The contests, such as Cake Decorating, Creative Cooks, Demonstration and Fashion Revue, allow our members to exhibit their learning in front of an audience. This really helps our members build strong presentation, public speaking and self-esteem skills.
Our quizzes and tests are designed to ensure our members are learning key concepts and knowledge of their project area. Finally, the judging and interviewing of our projects are essential to help our members articulate the goals they wanted to accomplish through doing a project.
Even though not every member can go home a Grand Champion, we are more focused in the 4-H program that every child goes home a Blue Ribbon youth. We want to see every child succeed to the best of his or her ability and encourage children to continue to grow into responsible, caring adults.
The official start of fair will be Wednesday. This is when the carnival opens, and all the animals and open-class projects will arrive. Our 4-H members will be participating in both small and large livestock shows in the covered pavilion. In addition, all our 4-H home economics, natural resources and general projects will be on display in the Extension Building. This is where you can view poster boards, cakes, woodworking, welding and many more fascinating 4-H projects our youths have done.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 10 and Aug. 11,, we will be having a 4-H Lego Robotics, Celebrating Community Norms and project demonstrations outside the Extension Building for the community to see all the unique opportunities the 4-H program offers in La Plata County.
As always, we are very excited to invite everyone down from noon to 5 p.m. Aug. 11 to support the 4-H Community BBQ Cook-off. WPX Energy, BP, Exterran and Rhino Technologies/Crossfire LLC will be our teams this year, cooking up the best barbecue of the summer. We thank the La Plata County Energy Council for this partnership and all our other sponsors for their kind donations. The menu this year will be beef and pork, salad, corn on the cob, bread, dessert and a drink. So get your presale tickets early to save some money. Tickets cost $8 for adults and $5 for seniors and children in advance and $10 the day of the barbecue.
email@example.com or 382-6463. Greg Felsen is La Plata County 4-H youth development agent.

MooreEngineer needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 80 designs submitted by 35 freelance designers.
We are creating our website and need something to give it some punch. The name of the company is Moore Associates, LLC but that is alot of letters, so we could consider just "MA" or maybe "MA Engineers".
Desired Color Scheme:
Navy blue, maroon and steel gray
Accepted File Formats:
Needs to be somewhat serious looking. We are serious engineers: if we screw up people get hurt. We design structures for large ornate residences (McMansions) and apartment buildings using steel beams & columns, concrete foundations, wood framing. Lately, we seem to be helping architects design these crazy roofs they imagine (turrets, soaring gables, trusses, wild stuff). We also use alot of steel. I-beams & such. Hope this gives you some ideas.

My career in IT can be attributed to being willing to try new things.
When I was in ninth grade, I signed up for Junior Achievement (JA), thinking it would be an opportunity to hang out with my friends. What I found instead was an appreciation and joy in creating a tangible product from a concept, working through problems, defining the risk, creating a marketing strategy, and taking our product to market.
My parents still have the cypress wood clock our JA team created, proudly displayed in their living room. When I visit them, I can look up and see the physical manifestation of the lessons I learned.
Life is rarely linear, and I found myself in my early 20s working at a data-entry job after a less than stellar college experience. I stumbled into one of the early IT workforce programs, which gave opportunities for women and people of color within state government. I was one of about 500 applicants who eventually were offered one of 25 positions within the state of New Jersey.
I was the grunt, doing the harder tasks that no one wanted, and I loved it. When I was asked to refresh the documentation library, I jumped at the chance because I knew I would have a greater understanding of the systems and the interdependences between them. In my job with the state of New Jersey, I learned good development skills, the importance of paying attention to details, and understanding the big picture.
My father, who is a retired chemist, told me, "Learn because you want to, and you will never be bored." I can't even begin to explain how beneficial this simple phrase is. Learning something new because you have to can be a chore, but learning because you want to can lead you to new and exciting places.
As I've progressed in my career, I have become giddy about how much I continue to learn. At Accenture, a global professional services company, I've had the opportunity to perform in a variety of roles.
In my very first role with Accenture, I worked as a technical lead on a blended team where our people worked alongside the client employees. Even though I had led teams before, this opportunity provided its own set of challenges. I learned how to better provide actionable feedback to client team members, engage and motivate the team, understand the correct solutions for the problem at hand, and communicate to client leadership succinctly and concisely. My first role provided me with the insights of what I could be as a leader and technician.
In every role, being open to what new things there are to learn and how I can apply my experiences and abilities really excites me. I am able to be creative and collaborative with others at work, allowing me to be confident when interacting with clients.
I've also learned that I can take my job seriously, but I don't need to be serious all the time. To find connections with others, the humor in situations allows me to still be my authentic self.
In my personal life, I do my best to always find the time to expand my horizons and learn. This can mean spending all day in one of many fabulous museums Philadelphia offers, attending the opera, hitting the library for a biography, watching basketball and screaming for my team, or just sitting in the park enjoying the sunshine on my face. In order to enjoy life, I ask myself a very simple question: "Is it a today, tomorrow or next week problem?" This approach allows me to prioritize my work and home lives.
My mentee, Jada, and myself. I'm a board member for Tech Impact and act as a mentor through that organization.
If I could pay it forward and give advice on being a woman and a technologist, I would say:
I'm lucky, because I prepared by figuring out the harder tasks. When you have to dig in and really get to the root cause, the process and the outcomes never go away. You find yourself going back to that well again and again.
Yes, they may not be sexy and have all the cachet of a dumpster fire, but you can learn so much. By being successful you differentiate yourself.
Learn because you want to. Find the time to expand your horizons.
There is no shame in the game if you think you need help; just be prescriptive in your ask.
You can't be everything to everyone.

Just wondering, but it looks like this would bee perfect for a warre system.
I am building a fieldstone garden shed, it would be easy to add a second floor and make it into a bee house, the bear issue would be solved a bit better then worrying about my electric fence.
Does anyone have pictures of the inside, or better yet how a warre system would work in it.
I am picturing in my head, that you wouldnt need the roof on the warre, and you would work it like normal, adding boxes under, you would just need a stationary floor.
By any accounts they are awesome pictures and a great idea.


text: Buddy has a Remington Versa Max that's had issues from day 1. It won't reliably cycle and most issues are ejecting shells. He sent it in and they said they replaced the internals, not sure what though. He got it back and same thing. Pheasant hunting with heavy loads it was pretty much a single shot. Fire, manually eject, fire, manually eject, and so on. He was showing it to me as he knows I work on my own stuff. Manually cycling with a shell you can hear and feel it dragging. I took it apart and can see the finish in the chamber is peeling. Anyone seen this before? He's ready to just get rid of it but hoping I can help him out. I noticed the locking lug recess on the outer edge is burred slightly too from cycling but figured I'd work on the chamber issue first, one thing at a time.

Indonesia's rupiah led losses in Asian currencies this week, as signs of improvement in the US economy boosted bets the Federal Reserve would trim stimulus, a policy that has driven demand for emerging-market assets.
The rupiah fell for a third week as overseas investors pulled a combined US$1.6 billion from stocks in Indonesia, Taiwan, the Philippines, South Korea and Thailand, exchange data show.
A deadly typhoon that hit the Philippines on Nov. 8 spurred the biggest five-day drop in the peso since August, while political unrest in Thailand weighed on the baht. Reports from the US this month showed economic growth and employment beat economists' estimates.
"The US economy seems to be recovering," said Tsutomu Soma, manager of the fixed-income business unit at Rakuten Securities Inc in Tokyo. "On the other hand, there was the typhoon in the Philippines and political concern in Thailand, which weighed on sentiment. All in all, the momentum is for a stronger dollar and weaker regional currencies."
Indonesia's currency dropped 1.8 percent this week to 11,620 per US dollar and reached 11,675 on Wednesday, the lowest level since Sept. 30, according to prices from local banks compiled by Bloomberg. India's rupee fell 1 percent to 63.12 per US dollar, the peso weakened 1.1 percent to 43.65 and Malaysia's ringgit slipped 0.7 percent to 3.2023.
The New Taiwan dollar also dropped 0.4 percent this week to NT$29.62, aided in part by central bank intervention, dealers said.
US Federal Reserve Vice Chair Janet Yellen, the nominee to replace Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, said this week that the US economy still needs the stimulus to ensure a sustainable recovery.
The Fed will delay until March any cut to its US$85 billion of monthly bond purchases, according to the median estimate of 32 economists in a Bloomberg survey conducted on Nov. 8.
US manufacturing unexpectedly picked up last month, while US employers added 204,000 to payrolls, a figure that topped the most optimistic forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists and followed a 163,000 increase in September, reports showed. The Bloomberg US Dollar Index dropped 0.5 percent this week, its first five-day loss since Oct. 25.
"Asian currencies are reacting to the payrolls data," said Sean Yokota, head of Asia strategy at Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB in Singapore.
Elsewhere in Asia, the Thai baht lost 0.4 percent this week to 31.590 against the greenback and South Korea's won rose 0.1 percent to 1,063.53, while China's yuan was little changed at 6.0925. Vietnam's dong was steady at 21,100.
Japan's currency tumbled for a third week as it broke the ¥100 per US dollar mark for the first time since Sept. 11. The pound rallied to a four-year high versus the yen after the Bank of England signaled an interest-rate increase in the third quarter of 2015, rather than the second quarter of 2016. The greenback fell against the euro, wiping out last week's gain that followed better-than-forecast US employment data and an unexpected European Central Bank interest rate cut.
"You're still early in this dollar-rollover period," Jonathan Lewis, chief investment officer at Samson Capital Advisors LLC and manager of the Samson Strong Nations Currency Fund, said in a telephone interview from New York.
"It's fair to say that if the market took Yellen's perspective seriously, easier and aggressive for as long as it takes to get the job done, that the dollar would be rolling over more materially," Lewis said.

Library of Congress' Twitter archive gives another reason to watch what you say
Ever had second thoughts about a tweet you sent out? Well, now you have one more reason to be careful about posting those idle thoughts. The Library of Congress announced last month that it is acquiring and digitally preserving the entire Twitter archive, all the way back to the inception of the messaging service in March 2006.
"Expect to see an emphasis on the scholarly and research implications of the acquisition," wrote the library's Matt Raymond on his LOC blog. "I'm no Ph.D., but it boggles my mind to think what we might be able to learn about ourselves and the world around us from this wealth of data. And I'm certain we'll learn things that none of us now can even possibly conceive."

Think tweets are ephemeral? Think again.
Not everyone was so enthusiastic about the project. Responses ranged from, "I think this is downright awesome!" to "my tax dollars are paying for this? You can't be serious."
One frequently expressed concern was that of copyright. Those tweets were private, weren't they? Well, not really. Twitter's user agreement gives the company the right to do what it wants with them. That includes making them available for posterity.
One day, we'll look back at this and laugh. And laugh and laugh.

Police have shut down public transportation and are preventing large crowds from gathering together and have said that they have no immediate plans to lift the ban, according to the New York Times.

If you think you can make a contribution to the Singing the Faith Plus lectionary team, please get in touch by emailing us.
What is the lectionary?
A lectionary is a cycle of biblical readings that takes us through the Church Year, beginning in Advent each year.
The Methodist Church in Britain uses the Revised Common Lectionary, which was developed in the 1980s and is now used throughout the world by many Christian denominations. The complete list of Principal Services for Year A (beginning Advent 2019) is available here (downloadable PDF). For reference, the complete readings for 2019 are also still available.
What is the three-year cycle?
The lectionary for Sundays is arranged in a three-year cycle that is planned around the four gospels in the New Testament.
- Year A is the year of Matthew
- Year B is the year of Mark
- Year C is the year of Luke
The Gospel of John is read each year, especially around Christmas, Lent and Easter, and also in the year of Mark (Year B) whose Gospel is shorter than the others. The sequence of Gospel readings (which are grouped around the birth, baptism, ministry, death, and resurrection, of Jesus) is meant to lead God's people to a deeper understanding of Christ and a stronger faith in him.
Each year of the lectionary cycles beings on the First Sunday of Advent. Year A begins in years evenly divisible by three:
- Year A begins on the first Sunday of Advent in 2013, 2016, 2019…
- Year B begins on the first Sunday of Advent in 2014, 2017, 2020…
- Year C begins on the first Sunday of Advent in 2012, 2015, 2018…
What about the Old Testament (Hebrew scriptures)?
One aspect of the Revised Common Lectionary is that, following the Feast of the Epiphany in early January, there are two separate tracks as options for selecting readings from the Old Testament.
- the "sequential" or "semi-continuous" track of readings
- the "thematic" or "related" readings
The thematic / related Old Testament readings are designed to complement the Gospel reading. These are the readings currently listed on Singing the Faith Plus.
If the sequential / semi-continuous track is used, then Genesis through Judges is read in Year A, the story of the kings of Israel in Year B, and the prophets in Year C. (The Roots resources use the sequential / semi-continuous readings.)
Lectionary suggestions on Singing the Faith Plus
"I do find these suggestions so helpful. It reduces the time to choose hymns by half."
On Singing the Faith Plus, our team provides hymn suggestions to accompany each of the Sunday readings in the lectionary (including hymns that echo the theme of the psalmist). We also invite users to feed back to us more suggestions – perhaps ones they included themselves when planning a worship service.
Currently, we are adding suggestions for the sequential / semi-continuous track of Old Testament readings.
The Spirituality of Conflict lectionary resource is a free online resource providing reflections on conflict through the lens of the Sunday Gospel readings. An ecumenical team of writers follows the three-year lectionary cycle.
The lectionary offers a cycle of readings for use on weekdays as well as on Sundays. These readings are each listed in the Methodist Prayer Handbook, together with the suggestion of a hymn to read and an appropriate passage from the Psalms.
The same list of readings form the basis for daily online Bible studies, to be found at A Word in Time Bible Study.
The Methodist Prayer Handbook is available from Methodist Publishing.
If you think you can make a contribution to the Singing the Faith Plus lectionary team, please get in touch by emailing us.

Story highlights
- David Gergen: Two messages can be drawn from Tuesday 's votes
- He says voters in some places struck back at GOP for going too far
- Democrats, unions succeeded in overturning Ohio law on public employees
- Gergen: The votes sent signals that next year's election will be very close
Amidst the welter of election results from voting yesterday, two conclusions seem pretty clear:
First, an ancient rule of American politics still holds: Do not overreach. In both Ohio and Mississippi, Republicans went too far toward the extreme end of the spectrum and voters rose up to smite them.
The clearest example was Ohio, where Republican Gov. John Kasich took on the costs of public employee unions as a way to balance the state budget and strengthen the quality of K-12 education. This is a popular approach among Republican leaders these days and in the hands of a savvy political leader like Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, it can also win widespread voter support.
But Republicans in Ohio overplayed their hand: In a bill they passed early this year, GOP state legislators persuaded Kasich to include first responders, police and firemen among those whose benefits and bargaining rights would be cut. That turned out to be a disastrous mistake, as the general public has large reservoirs of respect for men and women who protect them. (Duh).
Labor unions saw their opening and amassed a large number of signatures to put a referendum on the ballot yesterday calling for repeal of the legislation. The unions, supported by the Obama White House, then poured money and resources into a campaign against the bill.
Altogether it is estimated that labor spent some $30 million to defeat the bill, about twice as much as business community and conservatives spent in support. Kasich, who is otherwise regarded as one of the bright lights of the GOP, was also seen as bullheaded in his campaign approach, vowing to run over his opponents.
The result was a stinging defeat for the GOP in yesterday's referendum: the public union bill was rejected by some 61% of voters at last count. Had there not been so much of an overreach, observers on the ground believe that Kasich & Co. might well have won.
Not all was lost for the GOP in Ohio: In a campaign that attracted less notice, conservatives won a victory of similar proportions that would ban mandates requiring everyone to secure health insurance. Although partially symbolic, the vote was widely seen as a rejection of Obamacare by Ohio. Still, the public union bill was the big enchilada -- and its defeat has important implications for 2012.
In Mississippi, pro-life conservatives placed a "personhood" amendment to the state constitution on the ballot. Mississippi is one of the most conservative states in the country and both the GOP and Democratic candidates for governor endorsed the initiative. But as others have noted, opponents apparently were able to make the case that the initiative was so broadly drawn that it would ban some contraceptives and in-vitro fertilization and might even lead to criminal investigations of women who suffered miscarriages. In other words, it went too far. And down it went yesterday in a surprising defeat.
These results and others point to a second general conclusion about voting yesterday: the general elections next fall are shaping up to be highly competitive and very tough. Go back to Ohio for a moment: The state's economy is unusually sluggish and Obama has become unpopular. In the off-year elections of 2010, Republicans seized five Congressional seats out of Democratic hands.
Ohio was shaping up as a strong potential pick-up for Republicans in the presidential race of 2012. But yesterday's referendums, drawing a heavy turnout of voters, sent a clear message that progressives are still willing and able to fight back. Color Ohio as a toss-up for 2012.
A parallel observation might be drawn from results in Virginia: Buoyed by the 2010 off-year elections, Republicans hold the state House there and hoped yesterday to sweep the state Senate. As of the moment, with votes still being counted, it appears that at best, they will secure a 20-20 tie in the Senate.
Or take Arizona: The man considered the architect of the tough laws against immigration went down in a recall fight.
To be sure, there were other areas where Republicans did well yesterday -- as in Mississippi, where they easily held on to the governor's office that Haley Barbour is vacating. But overall, the elections reinforce the impression that the huge tea party tide we saw in 2010 is still powerful but is receding somewhat.
We may be returning to something close to a 50-50 nation -- and that means rock-'em, sock-'em campaigns over the coming year.

Isolated DNA from 35 tissue samples provided by Ava. Presumably, the tissues were digestive gland and I believe they were preserved in ethanol. The list of samples are listed below.
DNA was extracted using the QIAmp Fast DNA Stool Mini Kit (Qiagen) following the manufacturer's protocol with the following options:
- Samples were briefly homogenized (due to their stiffness resulting from ethanol fixation) in the InhibitEX Buffer using disposable plastic pestles.
- Homogenized tissue was incubated at 95C to maximize cell lysis
- Followed "human DNA analysis" protocol for remainder of protocol (to maximize sample recovery)
- Eluted DNA with 100μL Buffer ATE
After extraction, the samples were quantified using the Roberts Lab Qubit 3.0 (Life Technologies) using the Qubit ds DNA BR reagents. Used 1μL of each sample.
Samples were stored at 4C in FSH240 in the boxes "Ava WS Transmission DNA Extractions by Sam Box 2″. See the master spreadsheet at the bottom of this post for specific sample locations within this box.

Man impersonates rock stars to get out of paying medical bills
St. George, UT (KSTU) -- A Minnesota man faces fraud charges in Utah after giving the name of a famous '70s rocker while getting treatment at Dixie Regional Medical Center.
Court documents allege 54-year-old Phillip Michael Schaeffer received medical treatment three different times between 2010 and 2013. One time he used the name Alex Lifeson, guitarist for the Canadian band Rush. The other two times Schaeffer posed as David Gilmour, guitarist and singer for the band Pink Floyd.
DRMC spokesperson Terri Draper said they can't go into detail about the treatment Schaeffer received, but Draper said there were some red flags that made employees take a closer look.
\"A couple of our employees noticed inconsistencies which prompted them to a little bit of informal investigation,\" Draper said. \"It showed enough that they were concerned enough to invite local authorities to pursue the matter further.\"
Those investigations showed Schaeffer had racked up $23,328.27 in medical bills under the name Lifeson and $15,067.50 posing as Gilmour. Charging documents indicate investigators found Schaeffer conducted the same ruse in Minnesota. There he went so far as to sign autographs and created elaborate stories as to why the rockers were in the area.
Prosecutors are charging Schaeffer with two counts of communication fraud, which is a second-degree felony. Schaeffer was scheduled for an initial appearance on Tuesday, but didn't show. Prosecutors found out that's because he's currently incarcerated in New Mexico.
It's unclear why Schaffer felt the need to deceive staff, particularly when hospitals have policies about turning people away in need of emergency care.
\"We treat those who come to us in need as a part of our mission,\" Draper said. \"So there really is no reason for anyone to come for care and feel like they need to change their identity, or manufacture something to receive care.\"
Because Schaeffer failed to appear in fifth district court on Tuesday, judge Eric Ludlow ordered the arrest warrant originally issued in July will remain in effect.

the amazing chloe aftel was nice enough to give me a pack of polaroid (i had run out, hence the lack of new posts). of course i feel a lot of pressure now about using it. want to make sure all the shots are beautiful. and now there is even more pressure as she has given jamie and i the distinct pleasure of becoming ban.do's new photographer. we had our first shoot last week and the outcome was amazing. see the proof here. but alas, chloe is a polaroid lover, too. the shot above is one she took on the shoot. and there are more on her site. i'm thinking i might just give her my blog, especially since she's got a sweet stash of the good stuff (i'm talking polaroid folks). stay tuned for more from chloe and me, too.

Illinois groups form coalition to stop Asian carp
The Associated Press
CHICAGO (AP) — Several Illinois nonprofit groups have formed a coalition aimed at stopping the spread of invasive species like the Asian carp from the Mississippi River basin into the Great Lakes.
The Healthy Water Solutions coalition was announced Wednesday. Leaders say they hope to complement the work of federal and state agencies. They say one of their main issues will be advocating for reinvestment in the Chicago River system.
Asian carp were imported decades ago to the U.S. They migrated up the Mississippi and Illinois rivers and are poised to invade the Great Lakes, where scientists say they could out-compete native fish for food. Asian carp are one of more than three dozen species the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says could cause damage to the Great Lakes.

Nondairy Multigrain Waffles
These delicious dairy-free waffles are easy to prepare and they taste the same as their lactose-laden cousins. They're light and fluffy and have a mild, nutty flavor. Pay close attention to the cooking instructions on your waffle iron for best results.
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes
Yield: 5 Belgian-style waffles
Special equipment: Belgian waffle iron
2/3 cup whole-wheat flour
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats, quick cooking or regular
1/4 cup wheat germ or corn meal
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 cups soymilk (or your choice of nondairy milk, plain or vanilla)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large eggs, slightly beaten (or equivalent amount of cholesterol-free egg replacer)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
Preheat the waffle iron and spray with vegetable oil. Meanwhile, measure the dry ingredients into a medium-sized bowl. Stir to combine.
Add the soymilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla and stir well using a whisk. The batter may be a bit lumpy, so don't overmix. Doing so may make the waffles tough. Stir in the chopped pecans, if desired.
Pour the batter by 3/4-cup measures onto the hot, oiled waffle iron. (Spray the waffle iron with additional nonstick vegetable oil spray between each waffle to prevent sticking.)
The batter should cover about three-fourths of the surface of a standard 8-inch square waffle iron. Cook until waffles are crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes each. Repeat until all the batter is used. As you make the waffles, place the cooked ones on a warm plate until ready to serve.
Leftover waffles can be refrigerated for two or three days and reheated in a toaster. Leftovers also can be sealed in an airtight container and frozen for several weeks before reheating.

The historic Flushing Town Hall has a new look.
The theatre and event space fully reopened on Friday, March 14, after a five-month, $1.2 million interior renovation.
The makeover will freshen up the venue after more than a dozen years of use. The Flushing Town Hall building is more than 150 years old, and it has been an active theatre for 35 years. Its last renovation was completed in 1999.
"After 15 years of extensive wear and tear on the building it was time to upgrade and to renovate," said Ellen Kodadek, executive director of Flushing Council on Culture and the Arts, which operates the Hall.
The money for the renovation was partly funded by former Borough President Helen Marshall, various Queens City Council members and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
The makeover includes new flooring in the hallways and the gift shop, a new heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC) throughout the building, and new floors and chairs in the theatre, which seats 308. The theatre's movable risers were also replaced. Just like the old risers, the new ones will allow the theatre to transform at will.
"We are capable of taking the seats and the risers out and setting the room up so that it doesn't look at all like a theatre, but you could do a wedding or a banquet or leave room for salsa dancing," Kodadek said. "And that's something very special and different about our theatre. Many theatres don't have that capability."
Flushing Town Hall hosts about 75 performances around the year, including jazz concerts, theatre plays, educational events for children, puppetry, dance, art galleries and workshops. They've also rented out the space for special events, including weddings and school graduations.
On the same day it reopened, The Queens Courier donated $1,500 to Flushing Town Hall, from money that was raised at the annual Rising Stars event. The money will be used to foster educational services for underprivileged students.

Saab says a new financial deal with Chinese companies Pang Da and Zhejiang Youngman Lotus gives it the cash to plan three new models.
Saab's plan calls for:
-- The 9-1, an entry-level car that has been known as the 9-2 until now.
-- The 9-6 and the 9-7, which Saab says will be prestige vehicles. Based on the names, we'd guess they will be larger than the current 9-5 sedan.
There's no word yet on when we might see these new Saabs.

For those that haven't yet sampled the delights of the new Cartrix Grand Prix Legends series I will just lay a few tasty morsels in front of you.
The Mercedes W196 is available locally and comes in J. M. Fangio and S. Moss variants. I tried mine out on the track on Saturday and it was one of the most well behaved cars straight from the box! The motor has plenty of revs and the car was impeccable in cornering.
The car itself is fairly true to scale and has a good sized driver unlike a couple of recent releases from another manufacturer?! The only deviance from scale is the track and tyre size. The track is a bit wide but this is something that Ninco have been doing for some time now so we won't rattle the cage on that one. Also the wheels and tyres are a tad too small in diameter and a bit too wide.
The Car is also a bit lighter than most but I have noticed Cartrix make a thinner body than the mainstream. A nice effect achieved too with the fine mesh over the grille and the air intake. I feel that Cartrix have managed to capture the feel of this model and also present a truly drivable car.
The underneath is very tidy too. The guide is a bit wider than the average offerings but is not too bulky 'a la' Carrera and others. This type of guide suites taped board tracks unlike some narrower guides where it can be a bit fiddley to get braids spot on for maximum cornering. There is also a small magnet between the motor and back axle. It is not overpowering and you can still get a bit of 'sideways' effect on scalextric classic track.
Best of all are the projected future releases, A number of classic cars in the line up, The French Talbot and Gordini are rare birds. The Alfa and BRM where very popular racing cars in the '50s and of course, where would the Ferrari fans be without the 555 "Squalo"
These models represent an era in motor racing which set it on its present course.
After the pre war politicising of GP racing and the huge government backed racing teams like the Silver Arrow mercs and Auto Unions, racing was at an all time low as 90% of the field became 'also rans' . When it was decided to run a world championship series it was envisaged that anyone could go out and buy a cutting edge GP car. The series of cars depicted by Cartrix were the truly off the shelf racers with manufacturers selling their wares to those that could afford it as well as fielding their own factory teams.
This series is Ltd Ed so, as always, If you miss out, You will have missed out.

Thanks to Bastet from MindLoveMisery's Menagerie for hosting today's prompt, a "gothic" tale or poem — the macabre.
Was such a dreary night forewarned,
In dirt squiggled both bugs and worms.
For they too felt doom bemoaning,
To be out on this night groaning.
A monster from hell was spawned, a demon seething,
Earth felt the heaven's warn, evil darkness speeding.
Why such a night did I choose,
To walk my scrawny pooch?
In a fight she would run straight home,
No blind love, she left me alone.
As twilight bubbled as witch's brew steaming,
An evil curse my bones hurt knowing it was too near.
Our little neighbourhood was vast,
In pitch black terror I was cast.
My prayers mumbled beneath my —
Breath; I begged this night not to die.
Starlight and slim moon were covered by creeping thick fog,
Oh, how wished, for even my cowardly scared dog.
Felt I the breath of evil reek,
A touch of frost open my young cheek.
Of something old, of catastrophe,
An ancient wicked masterpiece.
A monster so dark, it did me choke, both claws squeezing,
All life from lungs, bones crushing while I was bleeding.
And now I'm nothing but my soul,
I choose — serve eternity bold.
Be not afraid as I was of dark,
For now I'm light, a fighting spark,
Giving courage, weapons to those facing monsters,
Sending back the most damned beasts, to hell launching.

Texas redistricting plan ruled illegal
WASHINGTON — A federal judicial panel derailed the Texas redistricting plan Tuesday, finding the maps violate the Voting Rights Act by diluting minority voting strength and discriminating against Hispanics and African Americans.
Texas failed to show the new political lines were "not enacted with discriminatory purpose" when passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature, the court ruled.
"This is absolutely a victory for Texas and for minority voters to elect a candidate of their choice," said Trey Martinez Fischer, chairman of the Mexican American Legislative Caucus, which opposed the redistricting plans.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott immediately said he would "appeal this flawed decision to the U.S. Supreme Court."
Abbott claimed the panel overstepped constitutional bounds and expanded Voting Rights Act protections with its decision.
He said the ruling would not affect upcoming elections, because it applies to the redistricting plans drawn by the state Legislature, and not interim redistricting plans approved by a separate San Antonio federal court panel.
The San Antonio federal court panel, hearing other legal challenges to the plans, drew the interim maps for the upcoming Nov. 6 elections. Those maps were agreed to by the state and minority groups.
Abbott said the November elections for congressional, state House and Senate seats would "proceed as planned under the interim maps drawn by the federal court in San Antonio."
Circuit Court Judge Thomas Griffith, wrote for the three-judge federal panel. He was joined by District Judges Rosemary Collyer and Beryl Howell in the 154-page ruling released Tuesday by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
Minority-rights groups still were digesting the inch-thick ruling and could seek expanded relief from the San Antonio federal panel prior to the election, said José Garza, counsel for the Mexican American Legislative Caucus.
State lawmakers also could seek to redraw the maps when they return to a legislative session in January, Garza said.
Others said the extensive ruling by the three-judge panel would hamper Abbott's efforts to appeal the case to the Supreme Court on grounds that protections under the Voting Rights Act no longer were needed in Texas.
Texas is one of several Southern states that must receive pre-approval, or "preclearance," from the Justice Department to any changes in voting procedures under the Voting Rights Act because of a past history of racial discrimination.
Abbott filed suit seeking a declaratory ruling by the three-judge panel to bypass Justice Department preclearance and install the state redistricting plans.
Abbott argued the new districts did not discriminate against Hispanics or African Americans, but were instead drawn to consolidate Republican power.
"Today's decision extends the Voting Rights Act beyond the limits intended by Congress and beyond the boundaries imposed by the Constitution," Abbott said.
But the three-judge panel found in its ruling that the state failed to uphold its legal burden to show the new maps did not discriminate
The redistricting plans were drawn against a backdrop of Hispanic population growth.
Texas grew by 4 million people over the past decade. Minorities accounted for 90 percent of the growth. Latinos accounted for 65 percent alone, according to the U.S. census.
The state's congressional delegation grew by four, from 32 seats to 36 seats, but the outcome of the new redistricting map made it likely that no additional minority lawmakers would have been elected.
And changes to existing minority-opportunity districts confounded the judges.
The Voting Rights Act allows the state to create political districts that give a majority of a minority group the opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice.
The Legislature removed the Alamo and the Convention Center in downtown San Antonio from the minority-opportunity district of Rep. Charlie Gonzalez, D-San Antonio.
"No such surgery was performed on the districts of Anglo incumbents," Griffith wrote in the ruling.
Instead, the judges noted that Republicans protected the inclusion of a San Antonio country club in the district of Rep. Lamar Smith, a Republican.
The court said "economic engines," hospitals and universities were taken out of African American congressional districts in Houston.
Latino and minority voting strength was diluted or reduced in three congressional districts, the judges ruled.
Those seats are held by Rep. Francisco "Quico" Canseco, R-San Antonio; Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin; and Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Corpus Christi.
Meanwhile, state lawmakers held out hope that a majority of the Supreme Court would side with Texas on an appeal.
State Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, who chaired the Senate redistricting committee which drew the new lines, said the judicial panel only found that Texas failed to prove that the maps would not discriminate.
Seliger said the ruling that the state weakened the ability of Latinos to elect a candidate of their choice "was very much in dispute and will be part and parcel of the Supreme Court case."
