Bristling with guitar acrobatics and infectious melodies, Minus The Bear's fifth studio full-length album, Infinity Overhead, due August 28 on Dangerbird Records, is not only a return to form in direction, instrumentation and creation but also the band's most aggressive and confident. The veteran Seattle-based fivesome reunited with former member and longtime producer Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Isis, Cursive) to create a guitar-laden 10-track record that is heavy both on technicality and pop songcraft and showcases the band doing what they do best – interesting, guitar-based big sounding rock. The band is giving a sneak peek into the album with a minute-long trailer on their site: MinusTheBear.com.
"We wanted to branch out on the last record and explore some more musical directions and work with someone we didn't know," says guitarist Dave Knudson about the band's 2010 LP, OMNI, produced by Joe Chiccarelli. "That was very educational and eye opening but at the same time we weren't in our wheel house." Drummer Erin Tate adds: "I look at it like when we started this band we were building a house with the first three records, then with OMNI we decided to go to a beach house, now on Infinity Overhead we are back working on our house." Singer/guitarist Jake Snider succinctly exclaims: "We didn't go anywhere but we're back."
While the smooth and sensual OMNI saw the band experimenting with keyboards and a new producer, Infinity Overhead sees the quintet building on their trademark sound and putting the focus back on guitars. And it's the guitars that really drive this record. Knudson and Snider color each song with layers and layers of intricate and inventive guitar textures, tones and noise. There's the usual chugging power chords, string bending, finger tapping, searing fretwork and circular riffs that the band is known for but while the album also features some of Minus The Bear's most complex guitar playing to date, including some of their gnarliest guitar tones ever as evidenced on, "Lonely Gun," it is also their most accessible, filled to the brim with big pop hooks and catchy choruses.
In order to make the record they had in mind, Minus The Bear reunited with Matt Bayles, former founding member and producer of the band's acclaimed albums Planet Of Ice and Menos El Oso, to produce. "Stepping back into the studio with Matt felt really comfortable," says Knudson. "There was no education or learning curve, he knows us so well and how we work that it was just right back into the swing of things." Bassist Cory Murchy adds: "It was like old times, but both Matt and the band have had time to work outside with other people and we were both able to bring back what we learned and apply it to the old feeling."
The band, consisting of Jake Snider (vocals, guitar), Dave Knudson (guitar), Cory Murchy (bass), Alex Rose (synths, vocals) and Erin Tate (drums), went to work on their fifth album together in their hometown Seattle. From January to April of 2012 they holed up at London Bridge Studio and Bayles' Red Room Recording to craft a sonically complex yet melodically rich mature album. Many of the tracks have a foreboding feeling and as Snider reveals the lyrics were influenced by the direction of the music. "I don't know if this is our darkest record," Snider says. "It has more contrast but it definitely has some bright points. The darks are darker and the brights are brighter."
From the opening blast of the aptly named "Steel And Blood," it is obvious it is a more aggressive LP than the band's previous efforts. A chugging, distorted guitar, rumbling bass, pounding drums and a slithering guitar line collide together like the car wreck Snider sings about: "Two become one/ cacophony of a car crash/ steel and blood/ and it's over with a silence." On "Lies And Eyes," Snider sings about deception in a relationship over stabbing, frenetic guitars and spacey synths. The dancey song quickly builds to a soaring and tense climax of piercing guitar and urgent drumming before settling back down into a bed of tremolo guitar and Snider singing "Pick up the pieces of these words shattered across the floor/ with careful hands you know these words are sharp/ and you can read the blood."
Infinity Overhead takes its title from the majestic "Diamond Lightning," which Snider describes as having "an acid trip kinda vibe" and is a memory from his high school days. As he puts it "it incorporates a lot of our breadth and what we are capable of." However, each song demonstrates the band's sonic dexterity. From the out of control tropical-esque vibe of "Toska," with its clattering drums and finger tapped guitars, to the jaunty, acoustic "Listing, to the shimmering melancholia of "Heaven Is A Ghost Town, and the poppy synth-fueled "Zeros" to the hard hitting rock of album closer "Cold Company," it might be the most varied record of the band's career.
Since forming in Seattle in 2001, Minus The Bear has worked relentlessly over the past decade to build a large and devoted following worldwide with consistent releases and a non-stop touring regimen. They have proven to be a powerful musical force that has outlasted trends, the changing musical landscape, and a volatile record industry. Their Dangerbird debut, Omni, debuted in the Billboard Top 50 and over the last 11 years they have released four albums and several EPs on varying labels such as Suicide Squeeze, Arena Rock and Polyvinyl with total sales exceeding 300,000. The band has played countless sold out venues throughout the world both large and small and toured the globe over including North America, Europe, U.K., Japan and Australia, in addition to unforgettable performances at every high profile U.S. festival like Bonnaroo, Coachella, Lollapalooza and Sasquatch!. It is no doubt testament to the band's DIY beginnings, impressive relationship with their fans and inventive music that they remain a beloved group with an unyielding fanbase that continues to grow with each album. They have done this all on their own terms and with the release of Infinity Overhead, they are at the height of their powers.

Is there much of a secondhand market for old testers?
I've got a Primetest 350 that is no longer needed by our company and it seems a shame to let it rot on the shelf.
Does anyone know of a company (Seawards for instance) who buy them back, referb them then sell them on? or would it be an eBay job?

Mass General Imaging introduces CT lung-cancer screening
Massachusetts General Hospital Imaging is now offering lung-cancer screening using low-radiation CT (computed tomography) technology.
On July 6, the New England Journal of Medicine published results from the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial (NLST) conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN). This study, the only randomized control trial of lung-cancer screening that has been completed, included more than 50,000 patients. The study demonstrated a mortality benefit of 20 percent when CT is used to screen high-risk patients for early lung cancer.
Theresa McLoud, MD
"Twenty percent fewer deaths were reported in the study group that underwent CT scanning of the chest versus the control group that did not," said Theresa McLoud, MD, associate radiologist-in-chief of the Mass General Department of Radiology. "This is a significant benefit, which has potential for our patients. But at the same time, it's important that we use this test wisely because the study applies only to a high-risk group."
Exam criteria
National medical societies such as the American Cancer Society are now developing guidelines for screening programs, but none are currently available. In the meantime, Mass General Imaging will be following the inclusion criteria used in the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial, which were as follows:
- Individuals between the ages of 55 and 74 who are current or former smokers
- History of at least 30 pack years of smoking (a pack year equals the number of packs smoked per day times the number of years smoked)
- Patients should not have a history of any cancer within the past five years
- Former smokers must have quit within the past 15 years
Lung-cancer screening CT at Mass General Imaging
Screening is available at Mass General Imaging – Chelsea and Mass General Imaging – Waltham.
Screening CTs will be available only on a self-pay basis. The total fee will is $350 payable at the time of the study. (If the study detects something, follow-up CT scans should be covered by the patient's insurance, but as always patients are encouraged to confirm coverage with their insurance carrier.)
In accordance with Mass General Imaging's commitment to reducing radiation exposure, lung-cancer screening will be a low-dose CT exam, with a radiation dose of around 1.5 mSv (millisieverts), equivalent to approximately half of the naturally occurring background radiation that a person receives living for one year at sea level. The exam does not require contrast.
All patients must be referred for the study by a physician. Please click here for scheduling information. It is important that a responsible healthcare provider manage followup care for patients with a positive finding.
Jo-Anne Shepard, MD
False positives
Although low-dose CT screening for lung cancer in high risk groups has been shown to have a definite benefit in saving lives, there is a negative aspect. "The number of false-positive studies is high," said Jo-Anne Shepard, MD, director of the Thoracic Imaging and Intervention division of the Department of Radiology. "For example, 40 percent of the screening CTs in the NLST revealed small indeterminate lung nodules that will require follow-up in order to determine if they grow, indicating a likely cancer."
Such results can lead to additional cost, radiation exposure, and patient anxiety. Larger nodules may require biopsy by means of an invasive procedure to establish the diagnosis and may lead to potential complications. Some of these nodules will be proven not to be cancer.
Active smokers undergoing screening CT should enter a smoking cessation program. Screening is not an alternative to smoking cessation.

text: A mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning "circle" and is usually a square or circular motif, representing the universe and ever deepening layers of the self—as found in spiritual traditions to develop a sacred space as an aid to meditation and trance induction. In these mandala-like pieces I am concentrating and harmonizing nature through reproduced symmetry. Our eyes are wired to see and respond to symmetry, because the human face is symmetrical. Creating symmetry from organic growth places a new order to the face of nature, which emphasizes an intelligent form with the possibility of communication with us. It can be hypnotic to look into the "eye" of nature. Visually, this type of symmetry can intensify nature's complexity, its presence, and its apparent sentience.

Second, the vehicle for doing this is ICETOOL rather than DFSORT itself. Use the new DATASORT operator.

are needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 39 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
A logo of some sort for "QuietPC". The logo must use the Norwegian version of that english word: "StillePC"
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
I will sell MediaCentre computers from that shop. Similar to those listed here: http://hushtechnologies.net/. Domain name is http://www.stillepc.noÂ
I found a logo in annother contest here I like:
Feel free to use the same background color as in logo above, but white background would also do. The best is if I can use it on other backgrounds with little effort, since the webpage is not done and I don't know the background color yet.
Text in logo should say "StillePC", or "StillePC.no".
I originally thougth of headphones over the "StillePC.no" text, but if that is already used by other companies (I think so), it should be radical different.

The Department of Atmospheric and Cryospheric Sciences (ACINN) is one of the few university departments worldwide where research and education in atmospheric science and glaciology are co-located. Accordingly, ACINN's research focus lies on aspects of mountain meteorology, earth-atmosphere interaction - with a focus on snow- or ice-covered surfaces, exchange of gases and aerosols at the surface, exchange over complex topography - and ice-climate relations.
The ACINN is devoted to basic research in the areas of weather forecasting, mountain meteorology, atmospheric composition, earth atmosphere interactions and ice-climate relations. Our research activity is largely supported by third-party funding. We investigate the atmosphere, the biosphere and the cryosphere – and their interactions – through theoretical/conceptional approaches, experimental means and numerical modeling.
Detailed information on specific research themes can be found for each of the Research Units.
ACINN is embedded in the university's research areas Alpine Space - Man and Environment and Scientific Computing. It plays a key role in the research centre Climate: Cryosphere and Atmosphere. Bachelor and Master programs in Atmospheric Sciences have a strong focus on weather forecast, again of course with a special emphasis on mountain weather and climate.

I am delighted you want to check out my personal website, however
please talk to my agents about commissions as they handle all of that for me.
I look forward to working with you.
Currently based in Vancouver, Patrick Boyer enjoys being just minutes from the ocean, the Rocky Mountains and some huge parks. Equally, the city's urban culture and art scene are on his doorstep. It all serves to keep him inspired as he creates incredible contemporary montage illustrations for editorial, advertising and online projects. He loves travel and cycling, and is inspired by nature. In addition to advertising, he runs a studio specialising in branding and graphic design.
Patrick studied communication and the media before becoming involved in a series of art projects where he was able to hone his image making skills. He went freelance when he lived in New York in 2001, working on projects like book covers, animated series and magazine illustrations.
When Patrick gets a brief, he spends a lot of time researching and seeking inspiration. He looks for references, develops a mood board, and tries to conjure up a feel and/or a narrative that fits the project.
Patrick works in two styles. The first draws together photographic elements to create wildly colourful and often quite detailed collage imagery. He uses the various parts of the image to try and tell a story conveying the direction of the piece he's illustrating. His second style employs vector graphics. It's equally striking and no less colourful than his collage work.
Give us a few details and we'll get back
to you quickly with an idea of Patrick's

Property rights and Brett Frischmann's social value of infrastructure
Brett's book is a very valuable addition to the literature on the governance of infrastructures. Just the collection and summary of a huge variety of references would be valuable by itself, as a guide to literature. And then there are Brett's own contributions in this volume, only some of which have been published before.
I was only able to skim through Brett's book, so cannot provide a careful evaluation of it. But one point that might be worth making explicitly is that at a basic level, his argument for a commons approach to infrastructure regulation is the same as that of the currently dominant private property rights movement.
Why are clear and secure property rights important? Because they provide assurance to entrepreneurs and investors that the fruits of their money and efforts will not be misappropriated by some Robber Barons. But lack of restrictions on infrastructure providers means that they can act as Robber Barons with regard to other businesses, appropriating the fruits of their investments. Lack of regulation of monopolies is similar to a lack of law.
That this is an issue can be seen in numerous instances, such as the article about U.S. railroads in the Sept. 26, 2011 issue of Fortune by Mina Kimes, "Railroads: Cartel or free market success story?" A chemicals company covered there decides to expand in Texas and not in West Virginia because in Texas their site "has access to three railroads," whereas in West Virginia it is captive to a monopoly that can charge far above its costs.
Thus the issue is really about protecting property rights of either the infrastructure providers or the economy at large. Where should the balance lie? It should be said that this is not a rhetorical question, as historically, it has often been the case that infrastructure providers were often given more leeway to engage discriminatory pricing when the costs of the infrastructure were high.

Why I chose to wear a white sweater and khaki pants on the day I made these amazing, saucy chicken enchiladas, I'll never know. But even though my nice clothes are soaking in a bath of laundry detergent and hot water, all I can think about is how last night's dinner was SO worth the gloppy red stains and piles of dishes.
This was a dinner I was originally reserving for the weekend, but as I read the recipe for these enchiladas, I couldn't help but drool and start craving them immediately. After just under an hour of chopping, seasoning, sautéing and baking, these enchiladas were staring back at me and my husband as a delicious dinner we couldn't wait to devour!
Of course, when I wrangled them out of the pan and onto the plate, they promptly split and oozed gooey cheese, chicken and tomatoes. But that's just the nature of enchiladas. Everyone knows they're not pretty, but they sure are tasty!

When is preparing for a speech like packing a suitcase? Every time you make the trip, I say. In this week's online coaching, Stephanie asked for tips on preparation, which is her third coaching priority. Both Stephanie and I are traveling this week--she's going to a women's empowerment conference, and I led a communications skills workshop for scientists--so it's timely to share these tips I've packed for her on preparing for a speech:
- Use a checklist to focus on the traveler, not just the suitcase: Like many speakers, Stephanie's concerned about preparing content, but I believe she--and you--should step back and consider how to prepare the whole speaker, from body and mind to technology and tactics. Use my checklist to prepare the whole speaker to work through what you need to consider. Tip: The first few times you use this, you may want to download it and write down your answers. Like any packing list, this checklist makes sure you don't forget essentials.
- Don't overpack! Focus so you pack only what you need: There's nothing worse than hauling around all the things you thought you'd need...but didn't. I recommend focusing by developing a three-point message, as we reviewed in week 2. Remember, you can announce to the audience that you'll be focusing your remarks, to make sure they don't expect you to cover every aspect (and they don't even want you to do that).
- Pack with flexibility in mind. Far better to pack three versatile pieces--the three parts of the message you've developed--than a fixed outline when you're packing your speaking 'suitcase.' Stephanie asked how she could prepare, but remain flexible to accommodate something in the moment. A three-point message lets you do that: You can rearrange the points, spend more time on one than the other two, or take time to divert for a moment, then return to the final point. The trick is to using some basic tactics or "glue" to make your message stick, so you that you remember your outline well enough to divert from it and then return.
- Preview what you're packing with practice. You might well test out what you're going to pack before a trip--no sense bringing the pants that don't fit, right? It's the same with speaker preparation. Practice and preview your remarks, your wardrobe, and your technology, so you can choose what to leave behind and what to take with you. There's no need to pack things "just in case" when you've already tested what you'll actually need.
- But stop trying things on over and over. If you can never decide what to pack--or what to do in your presentation--and find that overpreparation is a nervous habit, focus on solving that instead of your preparation. My four tips for those who overprepare for speeches will give you ways to tackle the nerves and convince yourself you're ready. If you want to do something before the speech, I'd rather see you use your energy developing a message and practicing it than worrying whether you got everything jammed into the case.
- Take something out. Rather than pack all your facts into your slides and your remarks, take some out of the speaking suitcase you're toting around. Save a few facts to weave into your answers--and remember, if you don't cover every item, you'll be leaving room for your audience to contribute, engage and wonder.
Here's hoping these tips help Stephanie--and you--prepare for the next stop on your speaking journey. Please share your tips for speaker preparation in the comments.

Doncaster Phoenix They Are The Future
I have my late father's AE1 sat on my shelf with a trio of FD lenses and it would be nice to use it. However, at 16MP, no custom functions and the size of a brick, I am unlikely to give it any serious consideration.
Back in the day, when the first Canon digital EOS cameras appeared, even at their eye-watering prices it was clear they were the future but few could afford them so we waited patiently for the promised digital backs to fit our film bodies. Had they been available then there would have been a market but now I suspect there won't be many takers. Best part of twenty years too late I fear.
What puzzles me is how you are supposed to use the viewfinder when that huge lump on the back is going to get in the way! As Colin says it's also way too big' looks like it doubles the size of the camera and probably adds about as much weight into the bargain.
John's right I think, too little, too late... Especially as I have an M42 adapter for my EOS bodies and a D7000 for my old Nikkors...

Was listening to K-WAVE yesterday and there was a lot of talk about sexual sin.
What are the expected results of sexual sin? (More specifically focusing during this life, not the after life or going to hell.)
For example, what are the effects for the person who cheats in marriage or a single man who masturbates?
Does it make the person feel emotionally oppressed on some level or does it just separate them from God spiritually without any effect here?
Looking for biblical supported answers that translate to real life examples. According to the program, this is a very big devastating issue that is taking over. They even mentioned that pastors were calling into the anonymous line, asking for help with addictions to pornography, that sex has taken over our schools with kids "sexting", and is used to sells products.
So this "take over" must be very destructive for us - but how ?

Even as House Republicans prepare to mount a forceful defense of "don't ask, don't tell," which bans gays from the military, analysts say it's likely the repeal amendment will pass in the House.
Congress may vote as early as Thursday on an amendment by Rep. Patrick Murphy (D) of Pennsylvania to the Defense Authorization Bill, which would reverse the ban on gays in the military but delay repeal implementation until the Pentagon finishes its review of the proposed measure.
President Obama and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates have both tepidly backed the proposal, but its passage hinges upon sufficient "yes" votes in the House and Senate.
Many Republican lawmakers – including some of the GOP's leading voices on defense – are poised to vote against the repeal.
Counting the votes: Enough to pass?
Among them is Rep. Buck McKeon (R) of California, the ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee.
"The secretary of Defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff asked Congress to respect the process they developed to study the ramifications of repealing 'don't ask, don't tell,' " Congressman McKeon said in a statement. "Republicans in the House feel we have a duty to honor that request…"
Sen. John McCain (R) of Arizona, the Senate Armed Services Committee's top Republican, said he also opposes efforts to change the policy now.
"This 'don't ask, don't tell' issue, they're going to try to jam that through without even trying to figure out what the impact on battle effectiveness would be," Senator McCain said on Arizona's KBLU radio.
Sen. Scott Brown (R) of Massachusetts, seen as a potential swing vote because he is a Republican who represents the Democratic-leaning state of Massachusetts, has also said he would vote against the repeal.
Although Republicans have said they would not ask their members to vote along party lines, there is speculation that they may vote as a bloc against the bill, which had bipartisan support in committee.
Still, analysts say the repeal amendment is likely to pass in the House.
"On the House side, the votes are there," says Christopher Neff, deputy executive director at the Palm Center, a research institute at the University of California Santa Barbara.
Both Congressman Murphy, who is responsible for rounding up "yes" votes in the House, and Rep. John Larson (D) of Connecticut, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, have indicated they are confident they will have the votes, according to The Hill newspaper.
In the House, the repeal measure will be presented as an amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill, which specifies the Department of Defense's budget. A simple majority – 217 votes – is needed for its passage.
Senate vote coming into focus
The Senate may be more of an uphill battle, says Mr. Neff.
"The House is not the question mark," he says. "The question mark is the Senate Armed Services Committee."
Fifteen "yes" votes are required for the amendment's passage there. Sen. Susan Collins (R) of Maine may have signaled a turning point when she indicated Tuesday her support for the repeal. Sens. Ben Nelson (D) of Nebraska, Bill Nelson (D) of Florida, and Evan Bayh (D) of Indiana, have all signed on in support of the bill.
Sen. Jim Webb (D) of Virgina has said he will vote against the repeal.
Sen. Robert Byrd (D) of West Virginia has not yet stated his position.
With Senator Ben Nelson indicating his support of the repeal Wednesday mid-morning, Neff says enough members had given public or private confirmations of their "yes" votes that the threshold had been met in the Senate for the amendment to pass.
With Ben Nelson, "that will do it.... The 15 votes are there now ... that will end DADT," he says.
The vote's timing – ahead of midterm elections – is crucial, observers say. Some Democrats who made promises to the gay community may feel they need to them to push through a repeal.
"Timing is huge," says Aaron Belkin, a political scientist at the University of California, Santa Barbara. "The political environment might become more difficult for Democrats after the midterm elections…. They might not get a chance again for a couple of years."
Is Congress forcing Obama's hand on 'don't ask, don't tell' repeal?
Top Pentagon brass endorse ending 'don't ask, don't tell'
To repeal 'don't ask, don't tell,' Obama has work ahead of him

Having read Witold Rybczynski's book, Home, during the holidays, it really struck me how mankind's quest for comfort, convenience and privacy has been the driver of change in urban living and home design for the past 500 years.
In his book, Rybczynski, who is the emeritus professor of urbanism at the University of Pennsylvania, looks at how home life has evolved from the Middle Ages to the late 20th century. He traces how the design of our homes has shifted from basic shelter from the elements and enemies, to our castles of comfort.
Using a series of artworks of domestic scenes - from German artist Albrecht Durer's St. Jerome in His Study (1514) to a Victorian bathroom illustration from 1885 - Rybczynski traces how homes have progressively become more comfortable, convenient and private.
The book is full of interesting facts - such as during the 16th century, households of 25 people in one-or two-room homes was not unusual. Nobody had their own room and even bathing was communal. Even in early 17th century Paris, having a room dedicated exclusively to a single use was seen as strange. The idea of separate rooms for cooking, bathing, dining and sleeping had to be invented - spurred by the invention of things such as the stove, which was the impetus for the creation of the kitchen as a separate space.
Over the centuries, urban life changed as home lighting evolved from candles to kerosene lamps to electricity. Having light at night allowed children to read in the evening (after working all day), which in turn allowed more learning and ultimately advanced society's knowledge.
One of the most intriguing facts is how medieval parents (both rich and poor) had a very unsentimental attitude toward children, sending them away from home at age 7. If poor, they went to work; if bourgeois, they went to apprentice with an artisan. In today's child-centric world, it is hard to imagine that concept of watching one's children grow up at home into their 20s is a relatively new phenomenon.
In the chapter on Domesticity, Rybczynski looks at the evolution of intimacy, privacy and urban living in Paris, London, Oslo and Amsterdam. It was interesting to learn how urban living in 17thcentury Holland differed from other European cities, with the country's new Calvinist religion contributing to a sense of sobriety and restraint.
As well, Holland's small merchant economy and smaller family sizes allowed for shops at street level and homes above. We also learn the creation of the country's iconic, tall, narrow row homes was necessitated by boggy soil that required lightweight brick versus stone (used elsewhere in Europe) and shared common walls for support. It was in Holland at this time, too, that mothers began to raise their own children, sending them to schools and keeping them at home until married.
Rybczynski suggests the Dutch were also the first to en mass love their homes, children and gardens. For the Dutch, the garden was a private space at the back of the house, unlike the rather more public courtyard style favoured in Paris and Oslo.
Feminization of urban living
Rybczynski discusses the feminization of the home, which began in the 17th century, as one of the most important events in the evolution toward modern households. He points out the invention and spread of electricity as a source of power in the 19th and 20th centuries was a game-changer for women. Not only did it provide better lighting, but it came with electric irons, vacuums, toasters, coffee pots, stoves and washers - all of which were more convenient to use and made life more comfortable, especially for women. By 1927, the electric iron for clothes was the most widely used electrical appliance, making the previous 12-pound flatiron heated on a stove redundant.
Rybczynski traces how the "rise of the female influence" has resulted in the suburbanization of urban living, with its large, single-family houses. It is the women who most often decide what community and what house a family will live in. Like no time in human history, women today are focused on the design of their home. The home is the woman's castle.
The advent of the professional working women has dramatically changed how we live. Their second income results in more money to buy bigger houses with more comforts, conveniences and privacy. The increased family income buys separate bedrooms for everyone, along with a separate dining room, kitchen nook and family room. This includes the master bedroom - the "homeowner's retreat" - with its spa-like bathroom, huge walk-in-closet and king-sized master bed. You can't fit that all into the 850 square feet that was the size of an average home in the 1950s, or the average downtown condo today.
The two-income family also necessitated the need for daycare for most families, which dictated the need for two cars, dramatically changing the family commute. Not only did it mean two cars commuting to work, it created a more complicated commute involving drop-off and pickup of children.
It became even more complicated when suburbs were designed without schools, meaning children had to be bused or driven to school. Ultimately, all this has meant public transit, as opposed to private vehicles, is not a comfortable or convenient option for most families in Calgary.
The increasing influence of women in modern decision-making appears to have changed urban living and design forever. It will be interesting to see what happens as more women become urban planning professionals; it is one of the last professions still dominated by males. The City of Calgary currently has a Transformation Planning Working Group looking at how to change our current planning culture. It is interesting to note the majority of members of the working group are female, including group leader Whitney Smithers, who is manager of strategic initiatives, planning, development and assessment for the City of Calgary.
Modern family's sense of place
For most people, the suburban home provides the most comfort, convenience and privacy for the least dollar in 21stcentury North American cities.
The suburban house has the space for the contemporary sense of home, an ideal that includes kitchens equipped not only with a self-cleaning oven, ice-cube maker, frost-free fridge, dishwasher, coffeemaker, pasta maker, blender and grinders of all sorts, but also microwave, convection and conventional ovens.
This ideal also aims for multiple bathrooms that often include a steam shower, rain shower, soaker tub, fireplace, TV, heated towel rack and floor, two-person shower and his-and-hers sinks. Most people also want a backyard for the family dog, along with a deck (with its outdoor living room-style furniture, outdoor kitchen or at least mega-deluxe barbecue, hot tub and fire pit). Under this ideal, the basement is no longer a storage area with maybe a rumpus room - it is the entertainment centre for a jumbo home theatre. This is the modern family's sense of place.
Comfort, convenience and privacy are also drivers of many Calgarian's general disdain of public transit. Who wants to sit or stand next to a stranger or wait for a bus or train - especially in the cold or at night - when you could be in the comfort of your own car, where you wield control over temperature, music, route and stops along the way?
The epitome in privacy, comfort and convenience - although we love to complain about traffic - in reality, is the car. It often has the best chair we own, with multiple adjustments to maximize our comfort. In the winter, many of us even have heated car seats, and our vehicles have a multi-speaker stereo system and a convenient cupholder in the perfect spot. If we are commuting alone, it often is only a few minutes drive away from the kids to the boss and co-workers - and we can crank up the tunes as loud as we want.
Last word
Rybczynski reminds us that cultural mores such as comfort, convenience and privacy have a life whose evolution is measured in centuries. This explains why human behaviour changes slowly and why we resist change. He points out over and over that our "comfort, convenient and privacy" culture did not evolve overnight - and so, it will not be undone anytime soon.

HCFC-22 (Chlorodifluoromethane)
There are two GMD programs that measure HCFC-22. The longest and most complete measurement of HCFC-22 is from the HATS flask GC-MSD program (data displayed below). The CATS in situ GCs also measure HCFC-22, however the data are less precise than the flask measurements. For further information on HCFCs click here.
Atmospheric dry mole fractions (parts-per-trillion or ppt) of HCFC-22 measured by GC-MSD in the HATS flask program. Each point represents a monthly mean at one of 8-12 stations: Alert, Canada (ALT), Summit Greenland (SUM), Barrow, Alaska (BRW), Mace Head, Ireland (MHD), Trinidad Head, California (THD), Niwot Ridge, Colorado (NWR), Cape Kumukahi, Hawaii (KUM), Manua Loa, Hawaii (MLO), American Samoa (SMO), Cape Grim, Australia (CGO), Palmer Station, Antarctica (PSA), South Pole, Antarctica (SPO).
Zonal mean dry mole fractions (ppt) are estimated from flask data by equally weighting monthly mean measurements in each latitude band. Small gaps (less than 6 months) are interpolated prior to averaging. Solid lines are used for Northern hemispheric measurements and dashed for the Southern hemisphere.

Journals and Posts
Looking for Davis, Johnson or Long
Looking for any information for Helen Marie Davis (surname Johnson) and Polly Ann Johnson (surname Long) and any information on Polly Ann's parents.
They are my Grandmother and Great Grandmother and I haven't been able to find any information on them.
I have been told they are either Cherokee or Choctaw. Helen Marie was married to Elmer Davis and they both passed away in California years ago. I have also been told that they and thier family's lived on the Oklahoma reservation and still have family there. From there, my Grandparents moved to the Arkansas area where my Grandfather was a mechanic, then to California. My Grandmother Helen was in fatal car accident when my Dad was 14, so I never knew her and can't get any information from her side of the family. We were told that her family disowned her when she married my Grandfather, because she married out of her nation.
Any help would be so much appreciated.

About lens42
No surprise when you consider that the executives at record and movie companies are really not at all interested in the future of their organizations. They are working only to preserve their bonuses and departure packages for the next 3 to 5 years. When you realize that, the "barbed wire" schemes make a lot of sense. Of course the shareholders of these companies should be mad a hell, but they ignorantly believe what managements tells them.
Yup. People played music long before there were record companies, and they'll be playing long after as well.
My advice to Netflix is to do whatever it takes to increase the catalog. The delays are irrelevant. All that matters is the catalog. The only date that registers in peoples' heads is the original screen release, DVD dates are lost in the noise. People may chomp at the bit to a see a new movie in the theater, but who's in that much of a hurry to watch a DVD?
a simple $10 per GB. No trying to figure your usage in advance. No free ride for movie downloads. Nice and simple, but of course too complex for the great minds at the wireless carriers. The electric company doesn't make me figure my power usage in advance. I don't understand why AT&T can't see how much people hate having to predict the future.
How can a company that sells to consumers think they are helping themselves with these charges? How much fine print parsing is a cell-phone customer supposed to do? I prefer to deal with companies that don't require me to constantly watch my back. If you get a $27,0000 bill, the real cost to Verizon is probably a few percent of that.
Just think how attractive a carrier would be if they said, "Go ahead and do whatever you want, and we will automatically put you on the best price package for that billing month". Then I wouldn't have to worry about getting ripped off. I'd still be discouraged from hogging data because I'd still have to pay, but I wouldn't then be forced to guess about what I'm going to need next month, and they'd sell MORE that way because customer like me wouldn't just turn OFF data when traveling for fear of a $10,000 bill.
The current system of making people predict their future needs is idiotic, makes consumers constantly worry about getting screwed, and puts the carriers in an unnecessarily adversarial relationship with their customers. You'd think somebody would break ranks and bill sensibly.
Won't most of the complaints in this thread be rendered moot when (not if) the iPad gets jail broken? Without a required AT&T contract, it would seem that there would not much risk to this. Those that like the walled garden can stay there, and those that want to climb over the wall will. A greater truth than the ills of a closed system is that closing a system that wants to be open is futile.
All of these rants against things that will not go away are so pointless. Who cares if Google, Twitter, file sharing, Wikipedia, etc. etc. etc. don't live up to someone's view of how the world should be. They might as well be ranting about air and water. This is the world as it is. Deal with it.
I don't know if Bloom will succeed, but you have to give them credit for not shooting their mouths off and showing nothing, or some questionable lab experiment, like most new-energy companies. Usually the best products these businesses generate are press releases. Here you have a company that has built a REAL BOX, and even better, has several installed in REAL COMPANIES that care about cost effectiveness. To me that puts them in a FAR better position on the BS scale than the majority of EV and energy stories. It may still fall short, but it sure ain't Steorn.
The "end of sports as we know it!"??? You're kidding, right? It doesn't matter what happens in this case. The more people blogging, tweeting, texting, whatevering about the NFL means more money in their pocket. The NFL is being stupid here for sure. The only way they lose is if people stop paying attention to football. In spite of their claims, they NEVER lose if people "steal" their content. No one bends over to get fleeced like a football fan.
EXACTLY. People who need to create art will do it anyway. 95% of all musicians barely make a living now! The DMCA is not helping them one iota. John Phillips Sousa wrote an article against music recordings when the Victrolla appeared. NOT because he was afraid of losing income, but because he was afraid people would stop learning how to PLAY music. He was right. Imagine that nobody makes money selling recordings anymore and the only thing people will pay for are live performances, and if you want to hear music, you have to PLAY music. That doesn't sound too bad to me.
The mistake many businesses make, that Sitepoint apparently has not, is that you don't need *that* many complaints in your inbox to warrant action. The complaints are from the people who give a sh1t. Most people don't bother to complain, they just walk away. You may only get one complaint, but if it makes sense, you should act on it.
Why do they do this? Wouldn't it be better to come up up with a rate that is painful enough, but not outrageous? Then people wouldn't live in terror of using their phones out of the country, AT&T would get more business, and MAKE MORE MONEY!
AT&T has to kill these plans where you have to to think in advance, based on info you don't have, to pick the best rate. How about AUTOMATICALLY switching you to the best bulk rate when you cross each data threshold. The frugal people will still watch their Mbytes and not tax the system, and those that need data will know they will pay more, but not get ripped off. This would increase roaming revenue. Come on tellco's, get a brain!
I have no cable, and get most of what I watch over the internet or Netflix. Mr. Masnick seems to get all the points right, but blows the conclusion. The content creators are not screwing themselves by jacking costs to cable companies. If I was the Discovery Channel, that's exactly what I would do. I wouldn't care what happens to Comcast Cable (I might even WANT them gone) because I'll then be able to cut out the middleman and sell directly to consumers, or at least get a bigger share of the ad dollars.

Details Come Out On US Attorneys Withholding Evidence In Aaron Swartz Case
from the more-evidence deptLast week, we wrote about Aaron Swartz's girlfriend, Taren Stinebrickner-Kauffman, releasing a statement accusing the DOJ of a variety of things that hadn't really been covered before, including lying, seizing evidence without a warrant and withholding exculpatory evidence. That resulted in an interesting discussion in the comments, in which a few DOJ defenders suggested that since there were no details, we were probably making this up (as if we don't have better things to do). Now, however, the details have come out. In a letter that was sent at the end of January (but just now leaked to the press), Swartz's lawyers highlight how Assistant US Attorney Steve Heymann was responsible for the charges above.
The key issue is the search of Aaron's laptop. Cambridge police seized the laptop on January 6, 2011. The Secret Service did not obtain a warrant until February 9, 2011, even though it had clearly been involved since before the arrest and was leading the investigation. Swartz's legal team, quite reasonably, argued that the evidence from the laptop should be suppressed due to the massive delay in obtaining the necessary warrant. Heymann hit back that it was the Cambridge Police who had the laptop, so the Secret Service had nothing to do with it until it got the warrant. There was a court hearing about all of this, and Heymann again insisted that the Secret Service had no responsibility until after the warrant.
However, right after that hearing, Heymann apparently approached Swartz's lawyers to reveal a key email from the lead Secret Service agent on the case, Michael Pickett, to Heymann himself. The email had been sent on January 7, 2011 in which he noted that he was "prepared to take custody of the laptop anytime, or whenever you feel is appropriate." In other words, the Secret Service clearly had de facto control over the laptop, directly contrasting Heymann's claims. Furthermore, withholding that bit of evidence, which would have raised serious questions about Heymann's claims to the court, until after the hearing just makes the whole thing even more sketchy.
We were surprised to learn of the existence of an email that demonstrated that the Secret Service both had effective control over Mr. Swartz's electronic devices and knew it needed to obtain a search warrant as of January 7, 2011, especially in light of AUSA Heymann's representation that they had neither "seized" nor "possessed" it. The email made clear that the Secret Service had control over these items of evidence and were able to search them whenever AUSA Heymann desired. This evidence contradicted the Government's representation to the Court that federal law enforcement could not be held responsible for the delay between the items' seizure and their search. The email confirmed what we had previously suspected: that AUSA Heymann and Agent Pickett directed and controlled the investigation of Mr. Swartz from the time of Mr. Swartz's arrest on January 6, 2011. The email also confirmed to us for the first time that AUSA Heymann's involvement in the case had commenced very early in the investigation and that Agent Pickett was following AUSA Heymann's orders on the search and seizure issue.Given that, Swartz's legal team questioned if there were more relevant items that had not been turned over when required. A further search by the US Attorney's office apparently found quite a bit.
Meanwhile, on December 21, 2012, AUSA Heymann produced yet another, much larger set of documents relevant to Mr.' Swartz's motion to suppress. This voluminous, disorganized production consisted of hundreds of previously-undisclosed emails, as well as hundreds of other documents, including undisclosed investigative reports, 'photographs, spreadsheets, and screen captures. Many of the newly-disclosed emails and reports further illustrated that the Secret Service was in control of investigating Mr. Swartz, and that Heymann was himself involved in the investigation even before Mr. Swartz was arrested on January 6, 2011.They argue that this was a failure to disclose exculpatory documents, combined with evidence that Heymann appeared to know about but leave out.
Furthermore, the claims of prosecutorial misconduct are bolstered by showing how Heymann and others in the US Attorney's office appear to have abused the plea bargaining process, in that it's not supposed to result in a punishment that is massively different than what would happen via a full trial. Of course, in practice, prosecutors almost always ignore that rule because it gives them a bigger stick when going in to negotiate. Given that it was regular conduct, however, perhaps makes this particular claim a little less certain. Still, it's more evidence of how single-focused the DOJ was on this case.

As silicon valley's first phone company, Ribbit, seems to have what it takes. By the words of the founders, they took the best of what the current phone companies have to offer, and merged it with the technology and knowledge we have on the Internet. It might seem as an over reaction to the hype around their new amphibian platform, but I really think they've got something there. Time will tell.

As Ribbit moves into this exciting new field of merged communication tools, I look forward to helping them create a presence that is useful and easy to use.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Company Harassed American Indian Employee and Forced Her Out of Job, Federal Agency Charged
RHINELANDER, Wis. – A Rhinelander, Wis.-based staffing firm, Wisconsin Staffing Services, Inc., doing business as Nicolet Staffing, will pay $20,000 under a consent decree entered yesterday, which ends a race discrimination and constructive discharge lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
According to the EEOC's suit, the president of the company allegedly engaged in repeated, acts of racial harassment toward a Native American employee, Carolyn Red Bear, allegedly including derogatory comments about Red Bear's "ethnic" appearance, suggestions that she seek alternative employment in personal home care as more consistent with the skills of Native American people, and statements that she did not "fit in" with the white community in Ladysmith, Wis. Despite complaints, the EEOC contended, the company allowed a non-Native American co-worker to refer to herself at work using the fictitious name "Pink Feather," allegedly to mock Red Bear.
Ultimately, according to the EEOC, Wisconsin Staffing Services forced Red Bear out of her job when she refused to comply with a directive from the company president to cut her hair, change her last name, and to stop "rubbing in" her heritage.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which makes it unlawful to harass employees based on race, including racial harassment. The EEOC filed suit ( EEOC v. Wisconsin Staffing Services, Inc.. d/b/a Nicolet Staffing, Inc., Case No. 3:10-cv-543) in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its voluntary conciliation process.
In addition to the $20,000 in monetary relief to Red Bear, the two-year consent decree resolving the lawsuit enjoins Wisconsin Staffing Services from engaging in discrimination or harassment based on race or retaliation in violation of Title VII. The consent decree also mandates that Wisconsin Staffing will implement and distribute policies prohibiting discrimination and retaliation and set up procedures for receiving and investigating complaints. The company must also provide two hours of training on race discrimination laws to managers and employees and an additional hour of training to any manager designated to investigate discrimination complaints. The company is also required to report to the EEOC about the company's response to any complaints of alleged discrimination and post a remedial notice.
"No employee can be required to endure harassment or mocking of her ethnic heritage as a price of holding on to her job," said John Hendrickson, EEOC regional attorney in Chicago. "That's contrary to our national tradition and to our law as enacted by Congress. It's that law which undergirds this consent decree and which will assure a positive change at the defendant in this case."
The case was litigated by Trial Attorney Camille Monahan of the EEOC's Milwaukee Area Office. The EEOC Chicago District Office is responsible for processing charges of discrimination, administrative enforcement, and the conduct of agency litigation in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and North and South Dakota, with Area Offices in Milwaukee and Minneapolis.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Ship loaded with Christmas trees arrives in Chicago
Recommended for You
(AP) — A U.S. Coast Guard ship loaded with more than 1,200 Michigan Christmas trees has arrived in downtown Chicago.
The Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw set sail late last month, traveling from its homeport of Cheboygan down Lake Michigan to Chicago.
The ice cutter's voyage carries on the tradition of the Rouse Simmons — known as the original Christmas tree ship — which began delivering trees in the late 1800s.
That ship was captained by Herman Schuenemann (SHOO'-nay-mehn), who continued the holiday tradition for three decades until his boat sank in 1912 while carrying the evergreens.
The Mackinaw paid tribute to Schuenemann's crew during by dropping a wreath into water where their ship went down.
The trees will be unloaded at Chicago's Navy Pier on Saturday to be distributed to needy families.
Here are ABC Chicago's photos of the ship's arrival today. And here's a video of the ship's arrival last year:

RICHMOND — Chevron said Wednesday it has finished repairs and replacement work on a crucial unit at its vast Richmond refinery that was damaged in a fire last August, but that regulatory approvals will delay its reopening at least until June.
If all goes well with final regulatory approvals, the refinery will be back on line by the end of June, it said, which would be later than prior estimates the energy giant had provided in public disclosures.
In late January, a state Division of Occupational Safety and Health issued 25 citations against Chevron and slapped it with a nearly $1 million fine — the highest amount allowed by state law — in connection with the fire.
Cal/OSHA claimed that Chevron did not follow the recommendations of its own inspectors and metallurgy scientists to replace the corroded pipe that ultimately ruptured and caused the fire. It also claimed that Chevron did not follow its own emergency shutdown procedures when the leak was identified and did not protect workers at the leak site.
"We are waiting to complete the final regulatory steps required to restart the crude oil processing unit," said company spokesman Sean Comey. "We expect to resume normal operations in the second quarter of this year."
Several months ago, Chevron estimated it would have the crude unit, described by experts as the heart of the refinery, back on line by the end of March. The current estimate would push the restart to as late as the end of June.
"It sounds like Chevron is saying they are on uncharted ground with the regulators," said David Hackett, president of Irvine-based Stillwater Associates, a transportation energy consultancy. "They seem to be saying it will take another three months to sort things out with the regulators."
The restart date could be pushed back further, said Bob Van Der Valk, a Montana-based oil industry analyst. "They will have trouble convincing the regulators in a timely fashion," he predicted.
"California has been a challenging market for refiners in general," said Pavel Molchanov, an analyst with Raymond James, an investment firm. The state's low-carbon fuels standards and tight sulfur emission rules "are challenges for refineries such as Richmond," he added.
Nevertheless, the rewards outweigh the challenges of meeting the high standards, Molchanov opined.
"Refineries in California are still profitable," he said. "It is certainly much better to have a plant up and running than undergoing repairs. There is no question about that at all."
The Richmond refinery has been operating at about 60 percent capacity in the wake of the fire.
Spokesman Comey said Chevron has "begun to implement certain measures to strengthen process safety, mechanical integrity and management oversight, both at our Richmond refinery and across our manufacturing network as appropriate."

Noonan: Lessons Conservatives Need to Learn
Obama is a formidable foe. He means to change the country and crush the GOP.
Two lessons on how conservatives and Republicans might approach the future, and a look at the meaning of Barack Obama.
Lesson one: Golf star Phil Mickelson this week complained about taxes—"I happen to be in that zone that has been targeted both federally and by the state"—and suggested he may leave California. Before anyone could jump down his throat, he abjectly apologized: He didn't mean to hurt anyone, he shouldn't have said it, taxes are a "personal" issue....
