Training Videos in backward states
Training Videos in backward states
I've seen them - they are informative but pretty basic, about 20 mins. You're best short-term bet is to see if another forum member with a car will be your volunteer delivery specialist and walk you though stuff. A Texla Ranger!
i wouldn't worry too much. i think you'll be surprised at how intuitive the car is. my car was delivered without a DS. the truck driver backed it off the truck and pointed to the D, R and P settings on the steering column and i was on my way. i figured most every thing else out on my own. i had a few questions, the majority of which were answered by ben's videos on youtube (search for ben goodwin/model s) and these forums. it's like taking a mac computer out of the box. it's pretty easy to figure everything out. just make sure you have a place to plug it in and you'll be all set.
You can check out fellow-owner Ben Goodwin's videos on YouTube:

Akashic Books does a phenomenal job with their Noir anthologies. I originally found out about this series from Curt Colbert, a mystery writer in Seattle who edited the Seattle Noir anthology. Incidentally, Curt does a wonderful series of detective noir based in Seattle. Check out Rat City, the first in the series to get a taste of what it is all about.
Indian Country Noir did not disappoint. The book is divided into four parts representing tribal areas in the North, South, East and West of the United States and Canada. The stories all have indigenous people as the central character b ut they are by no means stereotypical.
In the section titled East, my two favorite short stories were "Dead Medicine Snake Woman" which had kind of an other worldly feel to it and "Indian Time" about a Native American Mohawk man's custody battle with his white mother-in-law.
In South, "Daddy's Girl" is a very entertaining detective story set in Memphis, Tennessee. I really enjoyed the marrying of two genre's in this one. My other fave was "Juracan" which is about the indigenous population in Puerto Rico. I really loved this because it included a territory well away from the more travelled path. I had never considered or even known there was an indigenous group there. My sister-in-law is Puerto Rican and we have talked about Puerto Rico but now I have new information and questions.
I was slightly disappointed with West. It included stories set in Los Angeles, Tuscon and Montana. I lived in a state that has multiple established tribes, tribal areas and reservations. The Native Americans on the west side of my state have a history and culture completely different from the east side of the state. Not one story was set here. Nor were there any set in Alaska.
All that being said, my favorite was "Another Role". It was one of those stories that has that little twist at the end that is just slightly reminiscent of the "Twilight Zone." I also really enjoyed "JaneJohnDoe.com". This covered a Navajo and a drug cartel.
Finally, there is North. "Prowling Wolves" is a great period piece covering the World War II era and "Quilt Like a Night Sky" was my favorite in this section. The northern stories were a little more forlorn than some of the others but that was fitting for the north which is kind of mournful itself.
If you haven't read any of the Noir series books, please check them out. They are all wonderful. "Indian Country Noir" holds up and represents the franchise well. Great for readers and great for people who like to sample authors through some short stories.

For HVAC Contractors Only. If you're looking for Aprilaire solutions, please visit Aprilaire.com.
Aprilaire is a division of Research Products Corporation of Madison, Wisconsin.
Fresh, clean air has been the concern of Aprilaire since its inception in 1938. That's when we first began to design, manufacture, and distribute quality comfort products that improve the indoor air of homes throughout North America.
In 1954, we introduced the first evaporative, flow-through humidifiers. Since then we've added to our line of humidifiers as well as an entire family of indoor quality products including air purifiers (formerly sold under the Space-Gard® brand name), Dehumidifiers, Thermostats, Ventilation, and Zoned Comfort Control systems.
In 2001, Research Products acquired DRI-STEEM, leaders in humidification products for the commercial market segment. The DRISTEEM and Aprilaire association has provided powerful synergies in product design and manufacturing techniques that have resulted in the introduction of humidification products that fill more applications than ever before.
Our mission is to provide our customers with exceptional service and superior products that condition or control the air for HVAC applications.
Our vision is to be the indoor comfort partner of choice of the HVAC contractor and distributor.
We strive to focus on values that build and maintain a strong, vibrant workplace; one that fosters an environment of top-notch quality and service. Our values focus on innovation, achievement, knowing our customer, passion, fun, and being good neighbors.
Aprilaire continually gives back to the community. Through our employees' efforts each year, we assist organizations like Habitat for Humanity, local food banks, blood drives, annual scholarship funds and the United Way.
Aprilaire is dedicated to the HVAC distributor and contractor channel. We work with a strong representation of distributors and we do not sell directly to retail. Our dedication to the channel is further illustrated with our regular participation in industry organizations and events.
As a leader in the HVAC industry, we work closely with associations such as the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). These affiliations allow us to remain on top of industry standards and testing procedures. As a result, we're proud to offer superior air quality solutions that help homeowners stay healthy and comfortable and help our partnering distributors and contractors' businesses grow and prosper.

It does remove splinters and stubborn ingrown hairs but it takes lots of effort because you have to be precise not to damage your skin. Disappointed by the edges weren't sharp at all.

Our Story
Queen Bee Concierge helps "bzzzy" moms tackle their to-do's
Rashida McKenzie is on a mission to help moms stress less.
She is the founder of Queen Bee Concierge, a concierge company that provides lifestyle management services and personal assistance for busy moms ranging from expectant to experienced.
Rashida realized the importance of having help first-hand during her 22-week stint on strict bed rest. Her husband and mom who both worked full-time were suddenly saddled with doing everything, and even though they didn't mind, after the first few weeks she saw how much stress it was creating for everyone.
Refusing to let bed rest get the best of them, Rashida used her background in Operations Management and Logistics and did what she knew best . She assembled a "team" to help make sure things ran as smoothly as possible. The "team" ranged from a hair stylist to house keeper. She even enlisted her Grandmother in South Carolina to help make meals and ship them through the mail!
The system she set up successfully remained in place even after delivery during her daughter's short NICU stay and when she had a tough time recuperating after being on bed rest so long.
Rashida knew that moms at all stages of motherhood could benefit from the this type of service, and so Queen Bee Concierge was born.
Our services are designed to cover you from baby bump to getting back into the swing of your busy lifestyle. Need help making your hive thrive ? Learn more about our services.

As many of you know, M5 is home to ECE makers. But as you have probably found out, M5 is also a makerspace for a few exceptional students from other departments at UMass. Today you will find out that M5 is home to Christian Haughwout, who is a double major in ChemE and PoliSci.
Christian Haughwout is a very talented and active maker. He built a digital clock at the age of 8, and is now working on a magnetic levitation device. There is a lot that I could tell you about Christian, but I'm going to let the video below speak for itself.

Here, Sunlight offers Ghazal (Ode) 1937, from Rumi's Diwan-e Shams, in versions by Jonathan Star and Coleman Barks, and in the A.J. Arberry translation, upon which Barks based his interpretive version:
Don't weep.
The joy that has gone
will come `round again in another form �
Have no doubt about this!
A child's first joy
comes from its mother's milk;
After the child is weaned
his joy comes from drinking sweet wine.
This supreme joy has no resting place -
It enters one form then another,
from box to box � an eternal movement
between heaven and earth.
Here it comes, pouring down from the sky,
seeping into the earth,
and rising up again as a bed of roses.
Now it is water, now a plate of rice,
Now the swaying trees, now a horse and rider.
It lies within these forms for awhile
then bursts forth to become something new.
Isn't this like our dreams? �
The body sleeps
while the soul moves on
to take other forms.
You say,
I dreamt I was a cypress, a bed of tulips,
the blossoms of roses and jasmines.
Then the soul returns, and you wake up �
the cypress is gone, the roses are gone.
I tell you truly,
everything you now see
will vanish like a dream.
I do not mean to trouble you, O friend,
with words so bold as these.
Perhaps you will only listen to God.
He speaks more gently than I.
But how will you ever hear Him with
All that blathering going on? �
Everyone is speaking about golden bread
yet no one has ever tasted it!
O my soul, where can I find rest
but in the shimmering love of his heart?
Where can I see the pure light of the Sun
but in the eyes of my own Shams-e Tabriz?
-- Version by Jonathan Star
"A Garden Beyond Paradise: The Mystical Poetry of Rumi"
Bantam Books, 1992
Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round
in another form. The child weaned from mother's milk
now drinks wine and honey mixed.
God's joy moves from unmarked box to unmarked box,
from cell to cell. As rainwater, down into flowerbed.
As rose, up from the ground.
Now it looks like a plate of rice and fish,
now a cliff covered with vines,
now a horse being saddled.
It hides within these,
till one day it cracks them open.
Part of the self leaves the body when we sleep
and changes shape. You might say, "Last night
I was a cypress tree, a small bed of tulips,
a field of grapevines." Then the phantasm goes away.
You're back in the room.
I don't want to make any one fearful.
Hear what's behind what I say.
Tatatumtum tatum tatadum.
There's the light gold of wheat in the sun
and the gold of bread made from that wheat.
I have neither. I'm only talking about them,
as a town in the desert looks up
at stars on a clear night.
-- Version by Coleman Barks
"Open Secret"
Threshold Books, 1984
Do not grieve over any joy that has gone forever, for it will
return to you in another form, know that for sure.
Did not the child find joy in its nursing and in milk? When the
child was weaned from milk, the joy came from wine and honey.
This joy is an unqualified thing which enters various forms,
moves from box to box between water and clay;
It suddenly displays its grace in the water of the rain, again
enters into the rosebed, and lifts its head from the earth.
Now it comes by water, now by way of bread and meat, now
by way of beauty, now by way of horse and saddle.
From behind these veils suddenly one day it peeps and shat-
ters all the idols, that which is neither that nor this.*
The soul in sleep leaves the body and appears in a phantasm;
the body is deposed and idle -- in another form it is manifest.*
You might say, "In a dream I saw myself like a cypress, my
face as a bed of tulips, my body as roses and jasmine.*
That phantasm of the cypress vanished, the soul returned to
its house; verily in this and that is a warning to all beings.
I fear stirring up trouble, though I would have spoken what
may be spoken, God speaks fairer than I - do not let go of the
saddlestraps of the faith.
Fa'ilatun fa'ilatun fa'ilatun fa'iltat, if you have not gold-wheat bread, yet speak the golden words.
At last, Tabriz of the soul, look upon the stars of the heart,
that you may see this mundane sun to be a reflection of Shams-e
-- Translation by A. J. Arberry
"Mystical Poems of Rumi 2"
The University of Chicago Press, 1991
*Any object which keeps one from being absorbed in divine love
is an idol.
*See Nicholson's commentary of I: 400-1.
*"Kiyal (fantasy or phantasm) is the same as the World of Similitude (`alam-e mesal), of which everything in the sensible world (`alam-e sahada) is a reflection. The World of Similitude is a purgatory stage between the worlds of souls and things." Sajjadi Farhang-e `erfani, 204.

Azimuth Post Production Builds HD Production Infrastructure With EditShare
High-end postproduction house in London's premiere media district equipped with full-range of systems from EditShare's Complete Collaboration product line
Boston, MA – February 23, 2010 – EditShare® announced today that London-based Azimuth Post Production has implemented the range of EditShare Complete Collaboration products – EditShare Flow™ for production asset management; EditShare XStream™ for shared storage of HD and DI media; and EditShare Ark™ for media backup and archives. Known for developing high-impact documentaries, Azimuth is part of a prominent Middle Eastern-owned media group that includes award-winning London-based production company, ORTV International. Their postproduction services include off-line and on-line editing of short and long form films for broadcast, corporate and commercial genres. Azimuth's purchasing decision was driven by the increased amount of tapeless production within their facility. "As clients usually recycle their XDCAM EX cards almost immediately, we were finding ourselves holding the only copy of their rushes. We needed to protect ourselves against all possibilities of data loss, so purchasing an archive and backup system like EditShare Ark was vital," says Neil Hatton, Director of Postproduction, Azimuth. "The integration of Flow and Ark with XStream's storage capabilities means that the location and metadata of all files is tracked throughout the production cycle, right through to permanent archive." The new EditShare installation provides an end-to-end HD production infrastructure, facilitating media ingest, asset tracking, and enterprise tiered shared storage management across the facility's postproduction operations, which includes a mix of Avid® and Final Cut Pro® editing systems and a Nucoda HD color grading solution.
Azimuth replaced the existing Avid Unity™ and LANshare systems with a 32 TB EditShare XStream Series shared storage solution. The facility's 10 editing suites and color grading system are connected to XStream via 10 Gigabit Ethernet. XStream's workflow engineered features facilitate project sharing among Avid and Final Cut Pro editors, enhancing creative collaboration.
Media ingest and asset logging are done using the new 2-channel EditShare Flow solution. Content is recorded straight to the EditShare XStream shared storage server with full metadata intact. The Flow Browse module incorporates key search tools for browsing and retrieving assets from EditShare Media Spaces. Completing the HD production infrastructure is EditShare Ark for backups and archives. "EditShare's extreme flexibility and cross-platform capabilities are a perfect fit for the high-performance, full-service Soho postproduction house," says Tara Montford, Managing Director, EditShare. "Our seamless storage collaboration and tapeless workflow capabilities offer industry-leading performance and unmatched scalability. The installation of our full-range of systems, from Flow to XStream and Ark, will provide Azimuth with shared workflows from ingest to archive, and reliable media sharing across all platforms for increased productivity. We are thrilled to add Azimuth to our esteemed list of clients and see another high-end Soho shop go for EditShare."
About EditShare Complete Collaboration Products
EditShare shared storage solutions, EditShare Storage Series and EditShare XStream Series enable editors and compositors to easily and economically share media and work collaboratively, regardless the platform or application. Users connected to an EditShare network can seamlessly access in real-time a common pool of media files. Source material, work in progress and finished packages are shared and instantly available to all users on the EditShare network. The rules-driven workflow ensures that no data is ever overwritten or accidentally destroyed.
EditShare Flow and EditShare Ark bookend the shared production storage workflows with advanced multi-channel ingest/browse and archiving/back up capabilities. The integrated solutions provide a highly scalable, end-to-end media management workflow.
About Azimuth Post Production
Azimuth Post Production was set up in June 2008 in the heart of Soho. It is part of a well-established Middle-Eastern owned media group that also includes London-based production company ORTV International. Azimuth has been set up as a full-service facility with the high standards of customer service necessary to attract clients not just in the competitive UK market but also from right across the world.
Its facilities were recently refurbished to feature state-of-the-art high definition equipment and infrastructure. The suites have Avid and Final Cut Pro linked to centralized shared storage. Picture finishing is available on Symphony, DS Nitris and Smoke.

DEVIANT HALLOWEEN WEEK wouldn't really be all that Deviant without a good cannibal film...and we have just the film to fill that void in your life.
Few things in this world are like Umberto Lenzi's Cannibal Ferox. I remember watching this film during a phase in my life where I went through as many hardcore films as I could in order to find my threshold. I have yet to find that threshold within myself...so, I keep this Film Deviant thing going as a celebration of these films. But, if you're searching for a good way to countdown your Halloween Week...make sure you make it Deviant and include Cannibal Ferox into your horror film marathon.
Lucky for you...we have it below for your viewing pleasure.

Tory backbencher Julie Kirkbride succumbed to intense pressure over her expenses today by saying she will stand down as an MP.
At the same time, Luton South Labour MP Margaret Moran announced she will also stand down at the next election.
Bromsgrove MP Ms Kirkbride followed her husband, Andrew MacKay, in announcing her departure from parliament at the next general election.
The couple came under fire when it emerged that Commons allowances had been used to simultaneously fund both the homes where they lived.
In a resignation letter to party leader David Cameron, Ms Kirkbride wrote: "Today I am announcing that I will not seek re-election for my Bromsgrove constituency.
"My principal concern has to be for my very loyal local supporters in Bromsgrove whose trust in me has been very humbling in the last few weeks.
"I also want to see the Conservative Party have a great result in next week's elections, which will lead to a real change at the general election and you as our prime minister.
"I also must take into account the effects on my family."
Ms Kirkbride apparently informed Mr Cameron of her decision in a phone conversation this morning. Replying to her letter, he said he "completely understood" the move, and praised her for being "frank and candid".
Speaking later Mr Cameron said: "We spoke about it this morning.
"She feels under tremendous pressure so she has decided to stand down from Parliament at the next election.
"Of course I respect that decision and I understand why she has made that decision."
She was under pressure for employing her sister as a part-time secretary – even though she lived more than 120 miles from her constituency and 100 miles from Westminster.
Yesterday she vowed to fight on, while admitting she would stand aside if Mr Cameron asked her to.
But the final blow appears to have been struck today, when the MP was criticised for part-funding a £50,000 extension at her constituency flat so her brother could stay and help with childcare.

Boris Johnson has called for the government to close Heathrow and build a new town on the airport's ruins and says that anyone who doesn't share his vision is "crackers".
In a speech today, the London Mayor outlined his latest scheme for London's future air traffic capacity, which involves the government buying Heathrow for £15 million by compulsory purchase and then selling the land to developers to build 100,000 new houses on the site.
"It seems extraordinary that any Mayor of London would propose forcibly buying and then closing Heathrow," said a spokesperson for Heathrow.
"The Mayor's proposals would leave 114,000 people facing redundancy, cost taxpayers more and take longer to deliver than building on the strength we already have at Heathrow."
Under the Johnson plan, a new London hub called Margaret Thatcher Airport would be built on the Isle of Grain in Kent, opposite Southend. Second best for Johnson would be the 'Boris Island' scheme he had favoured until now and third on his list is a hugely expanded Stansted.
"Cities all over the world are already stealing a march on us and putting themselves in a position to eat London's breakfast, lunch and dinner by constructing mega airports," said Johnson.
"For London and the wider UK to remain competitive we have to build an airport capable of emulating that scale of growth. Anyone who believes there would be the space to do that at Heathrow is quite simply crackers."
Johnson's intervention comes in the week Heathrow makes its case for expansion via a third runway to the Davies Commission, the government group looking at London's airport future.

ACS: Authorized IMAX® Private Theatre Certified Technology Partner
Nationwide Home Technology Firm among the First to Offer the Ultimate Entertainment Experience
IMAX, the industry leader in immersive cinematic experiences, is now launching the IMAX Private Theatre system. The program enables select custom integrators across the U.S. to bring The IMAX Experience to their most discriminating clientele, and we wanted to take the opportunity of this blog edition to announce that ACS (with locations in Metro NY, Los Angeles and South Florida) is one of the first!
This new home theater system utilizes the same technology that IMAX uses in commercial multiplexes: a curved floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall screen; a high-resolution, dual-projection system that can accommodate 2D and 3D formats; and an audio system with laser-aligned loudspeakers and microphones that perform daily calibrations to ensure the highest quality sound possible. Altogether, the package is modeled after the relatively small screening room IMAX built in Santa Monica for filmmakers to see their movies in the immersive format before a general release.
Homeowners who can take advantage of this opportunity will have a team of IMAX specialists playing an integral role in the entire process, working alongside ACS to ensure everything is built to IMAX's exacting performance standards while catering to your specific design preferences.
In addition to the main theater space, there must also be space for a projector room large enough to accommodate at least two projectors (5 feet tall, 2.5 feet wide and 4 feet deep) in an area separate from the screening room, and an equipment rack. Each room is then custom-designed to IMAX specifications and engineered for perfection.
With ACS and IMAX, you'll receive a peerless level of service and support to guarantee the best presentation every time:
- Round-the-clock remote monitoring from IMAX HQ
- Five-minute response time
- Predictive maintenance
- Professional on-site tuning and calibration
- Patent-pending automated multi-point turning process
Imagine being able to experience all your favorite movies, television, sports, music and gaming in IMAX? With an IMAX Private Theater custom-designed specifically for your home, a truly one-of-a-kind viewing experience is no longer limited to your imagination. Contact us here at ACS to learn more today!

Ever since Ed Ruscha and friends threw a Royal typewriter out the window of a speeding Buick LeSabre near Los Angeles for his 1967 photographic book, "Royal Road Test," the impact of the California desert has been visible in his work. Now, Mr. Ruscha is part of an effort to establish a biennial-like exhibition in the Palm Springs area that would be timed for February through April 2017 to overlap with Modernism Week and the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, two big crowd-pleasers.
Mr. Ruscha is on the board of the nonprofit group behind Desert X, as the new event is called, which has hired the writer-curator Neville Wakefield as artistic director for its first event, with the former Los Angeles gallerist Elizabeta Betinski as executive director. The name stands for Desert Exhibition of Art.
Born on the Isles of Scilly off Cornwall, England, and based in New York, Mr. Wakefield said he had been spending more time in the California desert and noted its fascination for artists. "I'm interested in the way that entropy plays into art and this dialogue between creation and destruction, and that's something you see very clearly in the desert," he said in an interview. "It's such an extreme environment — so elemental."
The idea is to invite artists to respond to the desert's history, geology or mythology, or otherwise to create site-specific works, not unlike the way Mr. Wakefield's 2014 exhibition in Gstaad, Switzerland, took for inspiration an icy "white landscape instead of a white cube," as he put it.
Mr. Wakefield said it was too early to say how many artists might be included or which sites in the desert would be used. He also acknowledged that Desert X might not keep to a biennial schedule. "All that's established for now is that it's a recurring event," he said.
The event founder is Susan Davis, who oversees publications for the Annenberg Retreat at Sunnylands, in Rancho Mirage, Calif. Besides Mr. Ruscha, board members include Paul Clemente, who runs the visual art program at the Coachella music festival; Steven Nash, a former director of the Palm Springs Art Museum; the filmmaker Mary Sweeney; the curator Yael Lipschutz; and the art collector Beth Rudin DeWoody. So far, financing has come from board members and the Coachella music festival. JORI FINKEL
High Line Art
While Central Park was designed as a bucolic escape from the city, the High Line elevated park is a bustling promenade threaded through historic and rapidly rising new construction, from Gansevoort to 34th Streets. "It's a space always in motion, both because you have to walk from one end to the other and because the city is changing so quickly around you," said Cecilia Alemani, who heads the High Line's art program.
Ms. Alemani has taken this idea of constant movement and pilgrimage as the departure point for a group exhibition, "Wanderlust," opening in April, with works by 10 artists. Visitors will confront Tony Matelli's startlingly realistic "Sleepwalker," an oversized sculpture of a man in his underwear with arms outstretched. (The piece prompted reactions from amusement to outrage on the Wellesley College campus last year.) They can become passengers in Marie Lorenz's water-taxi rowboats, at Gansevoort Plaza, periodically lowered from the underside of the structure by the artist for boat rides on the Hudson River in her project "Tide and Current Taxi." Parents with pre-toddler children can join Roman Ondak's daily collective performance piece "Teaching to Walk." High Line strollers will also encounter solo commissions next spring from Barbara Kruger, Nari Ward and Kathryn Andrews.
With just one more short stretch of old train tracks crossing 10th Avenue at 30th Street still to open, is the novelty appeal of the High Line journey winding down? Robert Hammond, a founder and executive director of Friends of the High Line, anticipates new collaborative possibilities and synergistic vantage points with the Culture Shed, the art/design/media/performance space under construction in Hudson Yards at the north end of the High Line, projected to open in 2019.
"From the High Line, you'll be able to see how the Culture Shed rolls in and out of a big open plaza," Mr. Hammond said. "It's going to be another part of this interesting walk."
Another Homer in Maine
The Portland Museum of Art in Maine hardly seems to need another Homer. It already has nearly 700 works by him, as well as the Winslow Homer Studio, where Homer lived and painted from 1884 until he died in 1910.
But the museum did not have an interior scene by Homer, nor one from the 1870s, until now. From a family with roots in Maine, it has acquired "An Open Window," one of four paintings Homer did in 1872 featuring a solitary young woman near a window.
The work — part gift, part purchase — bridges the period between the collection's early Homer oils, like "Sharpshooter" (1863), and its later paintings, such as "Weatherbeaten" (1894).
"Something like this doesn't come along that often for us," said Mark Bessire, the museum's director. "Our paintings and watercolors are much more '80s and '90s."
The newly acquired work "was painted just a few years after the Civil War, and Homer was not really a trained academic painter, having come out of a print shop," Mr. Bessire added. "He's really just figuring out that he can become an oil painter."
The museum has also been given Andrew Wyeth's "River Cove" (1958), by David Rockefeller, in honor of his son, Dr. Richard Rockefeller, who died in a plane crash in 2014.
"It's not as narrative as some of his other works — more abstract, fairly monochromatic," Mr. Bessire said of the Wyeth. "It's kind of a tour de force of painting."
These acquisitions are part of a larger effort to strengthen the museum through building the collection as well as increasing access. The museum has just published the first catalog of its collection, put the collection online and opened an art study room. It also plans to reinstall all its galleries.
"I wanted to think more about how the museum was being presented," Mr. Bessire said. ROBIN POGREBIN

About the Benefit Corporation Legislation
The legislation, signed into law by Governor Brown, creates a new class of for-profit corporation in California called benefit corporations that are legally required to pursue the creation of a material positive impact on society and the environment, while meeting higher standards of accountability and transparency.
Benefit corporations are identical to existing California corporations except that a benefit corporation is required to: 1) have a corporate purpose to create a material positive impact on society and the environment; 2) redefine fiduciary duty to require consideration of the interests of employees, community and the environment when making decision; and 3) publicly report annually on its overall social and environmental performance using a comprehensive, credible, independent, and transparent third party standard.
The bill was sponsored by the American Sustainable Business Council, New Voice of Business, and B Lab; and the effort to pass the benefit corporation legislation was led by a legal working group co-chaired by Jonathan Storper from Hanson Bridgett LLP.
What is Green Refinance Plus? And can you qualify?
Launched in July 2011 by HUD and Fannie Mae, Green Refinance Plus provides financing for the acquisition and refinance of affordable multifamily rental properties, including an additional 5% of loan proceeds to be used for towards green retrofit and other property improvements. What are the benefits, eligibility requirements, and conditions of participation in this new program?
In response to the short supply of high-quality and sustainable low-income housing, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Federal Housing Administration (FHA), and Fannie Mae have partnered to create the Green Refinance Plus loan program. Green Refinance Plus expands the existing Fannie Mae/FHA Risk Sharing loan program to meet the market demand for financing of green retrofits and shorter loan terms. The program is expected to increase the availability of low-income housing, reduce operational and tenant utility costs, improve quality of life for residents, build sustainable communities, and protect the long-term value of multifamily rental properties.
Program Benefits
The Green Refinance Plus program provides three principle benefits over a traditional Fannie Mae/FHA Risk Sharing Loan. First, standard loans have a maximum loan to value (LTV) ratio of 80%. For Green Refinance Plus loans, the maximum LTV is increased to 85%. Second, the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR)—the ratio of cash flow from the property to the payment due—is decreased from 1.20 to 1.15. Third, Green Refinance Plus offers borrowers the option of a ten-year term, in comparison to the minimum fifteen-year term for standard FHA Risk Sharing. These three modifications provide borrowers the flexibility to invest in the properties while maintaining a financially viable asset. Despite the name, Green Refinance Plus is available for real estate acquisition as well as refinance.
Hanson Bridgett is pleased to welcome three new partners to our ranks, Robert A. McFarlane, William E. Adams and Stephen Cassidy.

A great thing about keeping a journal is how often you unintentionally surprise yourself when you rediscover a sketch or passing thought jotted months or even years earlier – like finding a twenty-dollar bill in a jacket you haven't worn since the previous winter. I go on small solo vacations a few times a year, they usually involve a surfboard and they always involve lots of meditation. I found this the other… Read More

About The Raid: Redemption
Deep in the heart of Jakarta's slums lies an impenetrable safe house for the world's most dangerous killers and gangsters. Until now, the rundown apartment block has been considered untouchable. Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness and silence, an elite swat team is tasked with raiding the safe house in order to take down the notorious drug lord that runs it. But when a chance encounter with a spotter blows their cover and news of their assault reaches the drug lord, they find themselves stranded on the 6th floor with no way out. The unit must fight their way through the city's worst to survive their mission.
The Raid: Redemption was directed and written by Gareth Evans. It was produced by Ario Sagantoro, with Rangga Maya Barack-Evans, Nathaniel Bolotin, Todd Brown, Irwan D. Musry, Nick Spicer and Aram Tertzakian serving as executive producers.

Reincarnate me
How do you market a film like this? It looks from the cover like Miramax wanted people to think it was a comedy (it isn't) and that Marisa Tomei's character is sexy (she isn't - the character, that is). But really, it's a character study, about an aging woman, Mildred (Gena Rowlands), whose children have left the nest, and what happens after she starts taking care of the neighbor boy after Tomei's character kicks her husband out while also having to work a late shift.
For a time, I was convinced I had seen the movie back when it was in the theaters, but it slowly dawned on me that there was too much I didn't remember. I've concluded that it must have been the trailer I'd seen, and that, with no action scenes to speak of, they had merely condensed the first act. As I think about it, that about the best kind of trailer I can think of for this film. Maybe a completely invented sort of thing, featuring no shots from the film, would draw more people, but that would be as misleading as, well, that image of the cover (or maybe it's the poster).
At first, it seems like the story of Mildred and J.J. (the kid, played by Jake Lloyd), then maybe a contrast between the parenting styles of Mildred and Monica (Tomei), which could be described as the difference between an Ivy League and a trade school. Mildred may have her own way of doing things, and Monica's chain-smoking, foul-mouthed and free attitude seems the direct opposite, but Mildred has a very exact sense of her own place and never for a moment does she seem to give it a second thought.
What we actually have on our hands here is a most subtle story of transformation. Mildred is drawn out of her sheltered existence so slowly, it's easy to miss. Each little step helps to bring a greater sense of identity, and the thought of the path she's been leading becomes, quite rightly, a silly one. The ending is hardly a predictable one, but rather the right one, the kind that rings so true that all other possible endings become unimaginable.
Unhook the Stars is written and directed by Rowland's son, Nick Cassavetes, also an actor and the son of the more famous John Cassavetes. This was his first directorial effort, and he succeeds by concentrating on performance and not letting the camera get in the way. It's very much a mental picture, and thus as an audience we need to share the important moments of the characters at the same speed they experience them, not race through like some kind of amusement park ride.
As near as I can figure, the leading demographic here is probably the same as for Shirley Valentine, but while that's a fine film for its type, Unhook the Stars outshines it with similar, but more difficult, themes.
I'm sure there's plenty of people out there, used to a homogenized Hollywood product, who won't relate to this film, and find it unbearably boring. No words I can write here will carry as much weight as seeing for yourself, simply by being open to this kind of picture.

Pipsqueak Spire Climber's Log
CWessels - Aug 22, 2016 2:43 am Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2016East Face
Scrambled up an unnamed east face route from Dade Lake and it was loose loose loose. Not the best. I thought the chimney side of the summit block was pretty hard with approach shoes, and wished I had rock shoes. The other way up the block is pretty easy though.
Fairweather - Oct 18, 2015 12:59 am Date Climbed: Sep 23, 2015From Mt. Dade / Hourglass
Nice summit block! With Todd.
bechtt - Jun 29, 2015 6:19 pm Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2015From Hourglass
After doing Dade, climbed NE slope and enjoyed a couple hundred feet of scrambling. Used the flake and knob to pull myself onto the "saddle". Descended too early (rain/hail cancelled BCS for me) and had to weave my way through the cliff band below the peak.
cab - Oct 1, 2012 6:41 pm Date Climbed: Sep 22, 2012From Mt. Dade
Fun, easy climb from Mt. Dade. The register dated back to the fifties. We continued our traverse to Bear Creek Spire afterwards. Great day with Mark and Pat.
danman3156 - Nov 8, 2011 1:31 am Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2011From BCS
Traversed from Bear Creek Spire. Fun ridge with interesting climbing.
mrchad9 - Jul 18, 2011 1:39 pm Date Climbed: Jul 16, 2011From BCS
Quick side trip on a dayhike from Bear Creek Spire. BCS was the highlight, though I did like the view down to the snow pond in the Mount Dade saddle.
cottersnow - Nov 29, 2009 8:02 pm Date Climbed: Jul 5, 2006Traversing
Bear Creek first, pipsqueak, then dade. Crappy post holing back to the car. A good warm up for the season.
granjero - Sep 8, 2009 7:05 pm Date Climbed: Jun 28, 2005North Ridge
Cool summit. View is worth it.
Shirley Lam - Aug 18, 2009 4:17 pm Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2009cute name ;)
I looked at the route description because I liked the name of the peak, but it ended up being useful info because we found out we could easily traverse the ridge from Bear Creek Spire to Dade. The move up the summit block might be easy for taller people like bighornmonkey, but it was really reachy for pipsqueak like me standing at 5'4"! I got it though...just stand against the face, reach up with one hand on the knob, other on the crest, and pull! Fun stuff :)
bighornmonkey - Aug 17, 2009 1:36 am Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2009part of the traverse
Climbed Bear Creek Spire, then traversed to Mt Dade.
This cool peak was along the way.
bearbnz - Sep 29, 2006 9:10 pm Date Climbed: Sep 25, 2006Ridge traverse
Descended the Ulrichs route from BCS down to the saddle, then followed the ridgline over to Pipsqueak. Kinda repetitive talus scrambling over huge blocks, and the summit wasn't as exciting as I was expecting. Fairly easy, limited exposure (the fairly easy part was good). Retraced the ridgeline back to the saddle, and descended into Little Lakes Valley from there.
ScottyS - Sep 27, 2006 1:22 am Date Climbed: Sep 25, 2006from BCS
Not sure if a bump on a ridge should get a register entry, but here we go. Sticking to the ridge crest from Cox Col is good practice.
cp0915 - Jul 29, 2006 4:52 pm Date Climbed: Jul 28, 2006Hourglass Couloir
Actually a very nice little summit. Fun scrambling near the top.
PellucidWombat - Sep 17, 2005 6:45 pmRoute Climbed: W slopes - S Ridge - Descended Hour Glass Couloir Date Climbed: August 5th, 2005
Climbed both sides of the summit block - what fun it was! Perhaps it is a good warmup for climbing Starlight's summit block?
Deb - Sep 7, 2005 12:29 pmRoute Climbed: East Face Date Climbed: 3 September 2005
Happy Labor Day! Oh but we didn't work too hard to reach the summit, just some scrambling and a few one-move 5th class stuff straight up from Dade Lake. I wasn't up to clawing onto the summit block since I don't like downclimbing "5.6" - does that mean I didn't reach the summit? :( Saw a fox, or some big dog thing, running down from Cox Col and to the lake for a sip, very cool!
Dave Daly - Sep 6, 2005 12:43 pmRoute Climbed: East Face (3rd/4th Class) Date Climbed: Sept 3 2005
Deb and I scrabbled up the East Face from Dade Lake. The bottom of the route intersects some "stripes" on some loose slabs and works straight up to a huge hanging flake (some 4th class climbing) and up to the northern "shoulder" of Pipsqueak. Follow the shoulder up to the summit. Couldn't find a register at the base of the so-called "spire".
dshoshone - Aug 2, 2005 2:00 pmRoute Climbed: hourglass/north ridge Date Climbed: July 10/2005
The north ridge is very enjoyable class 3, short though
Completebum - Jul 4, 2005 3:08 pmRoute Climbed: from Cox Col Date Climbed: July 3, 2005
Got this one on my way to Dade from BCS. The ridge from Cox col made for some enjoyable scrambling and the summit block wasn't too bad either. Did the west side of the block first then monkeyed around in the crack on the NW side. The top of the block was a great place for a short nap.
Bob Burd - Jun 27, 2005 5:06 pmRoute Climbed: NE Slope (ascent) / SE Ridge (descent) Date Climbed: May 14, 2005
Climbed Dade and Pipsqueak in Spring conditions. Pipsqueak turned out to have the more interesting scrambling of the two. With Matthew and Sam. Trip Report

We all know Alan Jones is a tosser - its just been a matter of degree depending on where you sit on the whole left to right political spectrum. His comments were out of line, in a long line of out of line comments. I'll tell you what has had me flabbergasted in this latest round of media coverage which I had missed before - he has OVER 30 GODCHILDREN!!!
That means there are over 30 children who have had their spiritual upbringing entrusted to Alan Jones. He is supposed to help guide them in their faith and assist in the development of their values, their morals and their ethics.
And that's what has me flabbergasted.
The man has no moral compass, no obvious ethics and worships as far as I can tell at the altar of his own arse. Yet over 30 people have thought - hey - Alan Jones would make a great godfather.
What the fuck? I mean seriously - what the fuck?
Who are these people so deluded? Were they drunk? Forced against their will? Do they hate their children? Why? Why? Why?
And breathe.

I was born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin, and from the age of five on, I lived with the University of Wisconsin Arboretum as my backyard, literally so for the first house and within a block for the second house. After school, on weekends and all summer long, I probably walked every inch of every trail many times over. I explored off the trails, too, back in those days when that was permitted. I learned about nature and learned to love and respect the natural world. Walking those paths and trails has had a strong influence upon me.
I still walk the paths and trails around Racine and Southeastern Wisconsin, sometimes disturbing the walk by taking along the golf clubs. My favorite paths through restored natural areas are along the Pike River Pathway, along the Root River Pathway through Colonial Woods, in Chiwaukee Prairie and along the Ice Age Trail.
The environmental writer Jerry Apps quotes his father teaching him how to walk those trails with the simple but profound phrase, "Listen for the whispers and look in the shadows". John Muir wrote, "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks." Or to quote Jens Jensen, "Trails are the footprints of the ages."
I don't have the actual quotation in front of me, but I have always agreed with a philosophy that Aldo Leopold expressed in several ways in his Sand County Almanac: "To protect and advocate for nature we must first love it, and to love it we must first know it, and to know it we must first get out and experience it." Nature and other scientific programs on television may have changed that sequence slightly, but the essence remains true.
How does all of this apply to you? To paraphrase the introduction to the old television program, "Mission Impossible," your assignment, if you choose to accept it, is to go out and find a trail through a natural area and take a walk for as long as you are able, listening for the whispers and looking in the shadows. Take a child with you if at all possible. The first walk will not be enough, so I urge it to become a habit. Learn to know and love the natural world so that you become a practitioner and an advocate for good environmental stewardship. As Rachel Carson once wrote, "Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life."

Prediction of Effective Permittivity of Diphasic Dielectrics as a Function of Frequency
An analytical model based on an equivalent impedance circuit for effective permittivity of a composite dielectric as a function of frequency with complex-shaped inclusions is presented. The geometry of the capacitor containing this composite dielectric is discretized into partial impedance elements, the total equivalent impedance is calculated, and the effective permittivity of the composite dielectric is obtained from this equivalent impedance. An example application using this method is given for an individual cell of a diphasic dielectric consisting of a high-permittivity spherical inclusion enclosed in a low-permittivity parallelepiped. The capacitance and resistance for individual discretized elements in the composite cell are modeled as a function of an inclusion radius. The proposed approach is then extended to a periodic three-dimensional structure comprised of multiple individual cells. The equivalent impedance model is valid for both static and alternating applied electric fields, over the entire range of volume fraction of inclusions. The equivalent impedance model has a few advantages over existing effective medium theories, including no limitations on the shape of inclusions or their separation distance.

I have a bit of a dilemma. I have written a program that allows users to view videos of the Lifeboats that we have - in action. The users only have the use of a mouse and no keyboard. I want the form to cover the taskbar when run so that the users cannot get into Windows XP.
Is this easy to do? I am already runnng the forms Maximised but it doesn't cover the taskbar.
Woulod it be easier to 'trap' the mouse so that it cannot get out of the current form?
Thanks in advance

It wouldn't be an episode of The Leftovers without some heavy-handed religious allegory, so given the title of the latest episode, "No Room at the Inn," the HBO series was clearly swinging for the fences. After last week's "Orange Sticker" (pushing the narrative that there are no miracles in Miracle), this week saw an effort to suggest that there actually are. In "Orange Sticker," Matt told Nora that the first night he and his vegetative wife Mary were in Jarden, Mary woke up. They talked and made love, but she went back to sleep in the morning. Having proclaimed his faith in Jarden and its spiritual healing, it's now time for Matt to set an example. Season One's "Two Boats and a Helicopter" (the best episode of the series so far) revolved around Matt, so it was hard not to have high expectations going into "No Room at the Inn." Those expectations were met, as "No Room at the Inn" ranks among the best in the series, thrusting Matt into the biblical tale of Job. If you're unfamiliar with the story, the short version is that God and the Devil made a bet on Job's faithfulness, with God proving it by throwing endless suffering upon the man to see if his faith would ever waver.
Matt now spends his days waiting for Mary to wake up again. He films her sleeping each night and then reviews the footage each morning to see if anything's changed in her condition. This is the beginning of his daily routine. A cheery song plays over a montage of Matt's endless caring for Mary, with Eccleston wearing a smile that feels simultaneously genuine and forced. At the end of the night, he says "Goodnight. I love you." Over and over again the song plays, Matt performs his routine with the same determined sense of hope and belief that is slowly waning. It used to be service and love, now it's a chore. He repeats each day in order to recreate the conditions of the day Mary woke up. With The Leftovers being a show about faith and hope, and the desperation in holding onto such ideals, Matt deems Mary's relapse into a comatose state as a test of his faith. He begins yelling at her to look at him, only realizing how hostile he looks when he sees himself on the camera. Christopher Eccleston sells this deterioration of faith convincingly, translating the baggage of this endless cycle in the few minutes given.
Matt is having a bad day that only stands to get worse. For starters, he dropped his phone in the toilet. He's taken Mary to Austin for a scan, and the results don't signal her getting better but do reveal the surprise that she is pregnant. The doctor insinuates this happened as a result of rape since Mary can't give consent to anything, but Matt is going to stick to his narrative of their making love when she woke up and seeing this pregnancy as a miracle. Given the title of the episode, The Leftovers' obsession with religious allegory, and the fact that the character's name is Mary, the narrative should have been expected but still came as a shock when revealed.
"No Room at the Inn" is an intimate study of the value of suffering, and plays out in similar beats to "Two Boats and a Helicopter," as Matt's good samaritan act ends up getting him in danger in both episodes. In Season One, he gave some money to a young couple after winning at the casino, only to then be robbed of all his cash at gunpoint. Here, Matt pulls over to help someone with a broken down car. The assailants see that the couple have wristbands to get into town and rob them, breaking Matt's hand and busting the car. Lindelof (as God) continues to throw more suffering at Matt as he makes his way back to town with Mary.
Eccleston is at his best on The Leftovers when given an hour to himself. There's something so pathetic yet empathetic in his performed optimism, taking each bit of incremental bad news with an almost delusional stoicism. He views each act as a challenge, a chance to prove his faith. He adopts the narrative of Job so fittingly, taking his suffering with a willing smile. It's no mistake that Matt names the Book of Job as his favorite Bible story later in "No Room at the Inn," given the fact that Job's wife only spoke once (Mary only spoke once in this episode), furthering the comparisons between Matt and the biblical figure.
There's a dichotomy of beliefs about Jarden that are personified by Matt and John in this episode. John confronts Matt about Mary's pregnancy in the visitor's center, and HE gives Matt the "No Miracles in Miracle" speech in rebuttal to his claims of Mary waking up. Matt relents with the ulterior motive of getting back in but can't let his faith in the place relent. He challenges John, asking why he hates Jarden so much. This obviously hits a mark with John, who denies Matt his help in retaliation. "No Room at the Inn" was Eccleston's episode, but it's Kevin Carroll who is turning into this season's MVP among the cast. There's clearly something that happened to John to make him deny any occurrence of a miracle in his town, and Carroll magnetically conveys a thinly veiled heartbreak. Later, Matt will once again declare his faith in Jarden in a refusal to accept help from John. He believes the town will heal Mary, and she will come get him from the camp outside Jarden.
At one point in the camp, Matt walks by a naked man chained in stocks. He's told that in order to free him, he must take his place. It's back at this spot that the Job narrative comes to a certain clarity, as Matt takes the man's place in order to demonstrate his faith in Jarden and God. "No Room at the Inn" was a large departure from the overall narrative of this season, but it's episodes like this that make The Leftovers such a fascinating show. Lindelof excels when following one narrative, exploring grand themes and allegory in an intimate setting. Last season's "Two Boats and a Helicopter" began the Job narrative for Matt as he struggled to save his church, and "No Room at the Inn" concluded the arc. Matt is choosing to suffer now in an effort to demonstrate his unwavering faith, resulting in one of the best episodes of the season so far.

Among the more unusual snaps (unusual subjects) in the Allen Ginsberg Photography Collection (now housed in the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library at the University of Toronto) are these ones of Madonna and Warren Beatty, taken in 1990-1991, on the occasion of Francesco Clemente's New Years Eve party.
"The greatest romance of the whole entire 1990's" gushed Amy Rose Spiegel on Buzzfeed, a couple of years back.
Out provides some of the more "juicy" snippets from Peter Biskind's 2010 biography - Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America - here
As recently as March of this year, on the Howard Stern radio show, Madonna looked back fondly on the relationship, and confessed, "Yes he was (an incredible lover), I'm not going to lie".
The couple first met while co-starring in the filming of the comic-strip classic, Dick Tracy. The movie (directed by Beatty himself) had premiered only six months before these shots of Allen's were taken (Madonna played "Breathless Mahoney", Beatty played Tracy).
Madonna's own 1991 documentary, Truth or Dare (In Bed With Madonna) also "captures" Beatty.
The chemistry unrehearsed.
