Obama's Cool Ruin
[This article was syndicated via RSS from echo $source; ?>. The views represented do not necessarily represent those of the Chicago Daily Observer.]
So the Obama campaign tries to paint Mitt Romney as an extremist, now they want to portray him as a wimp. Well, you can't have it both ways, O.It's a bit rich for the Dems to trot out Bill Clinton to make character testimonials on honor and tough decisions. Who can forget Wag the Dog. Who can forget Monica. Who can forget Black Hawk down. Seriously, Clinton never took Osama seriously.
Then you have all the big talk from Joe Obama's got a big stick Biden, who's been wrong on every foreign policy issue in my lifetime. Clearly Obama keeps him around to make himself look good.
And there's some question about how much Barack Obama actually had to do with the actual decision. Underscored later by his own preening speech pretty much ignoring Seals Team 6 who risked their own lives.
All gave some, some gave all.
Obama gives us ruin. But he's so cool.

A former Siena player accuses the President and Coach Antonio Conte of involvement in a betting scandal, but Reginaldo assures "there was nothing."
The police conducted dawn raids on Monday, including on ex-Siena boss Conte's home, as the investigation into alleged match-fixing continues.
"I am at this moment hearing what is alleged and I'm astounded," said former Siena man Reginaldo on TuttoJuve.
"To be perfectly honest, in my experience at Siena I did not see or hear anything about these supposed match-fixing attempts.
"In fact, I'd never suspect Conte, because he never even said to 'relax in this game.' Never. I can confirm Conte is a good man and I really doubt the Coach could have done such things, especially with a team who certainly didn't need the points.
"There was nothing about betting or trying to 'fix' games. The rapport between Carobbio and Conte was normal. Now Carobbio is in crisis because he's being banned from football and so he's starting to say what he thinks is right.
"Novara-Siena could not have been fixed, as it was a perfectly normal match. I remember I tried to score at all costs and didn't manage it."
The accusation currently levelled at Juventus Coach Conte is of not reporting an attempted fix to the authorities.

Days left until WiiWare arrives in North America: 7
If you're reading this, it can only be for one reason: you want to know what came out on the Virtual Console this week. Well, thankfully, I'm here to tell you just that. But first, some news:
Europe gets another Hanabi Festival: Yes, that's right. European Wii owners get to experience another Hanabi Festival on the Virtual Console, bringing them more Japanese games they didn't have previously. This time around, it's Columns III: Revenge of Columns, Final Soldier and Gradius II: Gofer no Yabou being released. As for North America… well, we're still getting these games whenever Nintendo of America lets us at them.
Nintendo finally addressing storage space fears: After almost a year of complaining, Wii owners may finally be on the road to seeing an issue addressed: storage space on the Wii. The long-criticized lack of an external hard drive may have finally gotten to Iwata's ears, as he addressed it in this year's financial results briefing:
"Statistically speaking, it is true that there are a small number of customers who feel that the flash memory is too small, while many others find that they have plenty of memory. However, because this small number of people are none other than the most avid players, we know we have to review the best possible solution to eliminate their inconvenience."
Damn straight you listen to your core market, Iwata. Now, about F-Zero Wii…
And though it's somewhat unrelated:
Amazon sells out of Wii Fit: Internet retail giant Amazon has reported that they have sold out of all pre-order copies of Wii Fit. The pre-orders started on April 15, and knowing Amazon, they likely had a huge shipment of Wii Fit bundles. The, message, which can be found on Amazon's Wii Fit page, reads the following:
"As you may know, the Nintendo Wii Fit is in great demand, and there are shortages of this product across the U.S. In an effort to provide as many customers as possible with the opportunity to purchase Wii Fit from Amazon.com, we are actively seeking more of this product from suppliers. Please check back soon to see if more are available."
So, if you're interested in getting Wii Fit, I'd suggest going and pre-ordering it now at where ever you shop for games.
As for the games, it's back up to two this week after only Double Dragon last week. Both are pretty good titles, and one is a prequel of sorts to a recent release on the Virtual Console. One that starts with River City and ends in Ransom.
This week's games are:
Pokémon Puzzle League (Nintendo 64, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 1,000 Wii Points): Get ready for a new kind of Pokémon battle where the power and speed of your brain are just as important as the strength of your Pokémon. Join Ash, Brock, Misty and many more characters from the Pokémon animated series as they gather in Puzzle Village to compete for the title of Pokémon Puzzle Master. Just match three or more blocks of the same color in any direction. Sounds simple, right? But the actual game play is surprisingly addictive and deep (chains and combos anyone?), especially when you're facing off against a human opponent. Choose from six different modes offering a wide range of action, from story or puzzle modes to continuous play or timed play. If that's not enough, take on the challenge in 3-D and get ready for more blocks than ever before. Featuring animated cut scenes combined with bright, fun graphics, there's enough to satisfy any fan of Pokémon or puzzle games.
Renegade (NES, 1-2 players, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older – Mild Violence, 500 Wii Points): Renegade follows the story of a vigilante who fights his way through countless gangs in order to bring peace back to his city. Battle your way through subways, parks, alleyways and parking lots. For added fun, there's a wild motorcycle ride to challenge you. Use your arsenal of kicks, punches (including the infamous sit-on punch) and jump kicks, as well as a variety of throws to knock your opponents into submission. Along the way, pick up items like a hamburger that restores your life, a heart that increases your lives by one, a power-up to increase your attack strength, and a speed item that gives you a speed burst while on your motorcycle. You'll need all the help you can get to take out your aggression on street punks, thugs, outlaw bikers, killer kung-fu females and an array of bosses standing in your way. Take the law into your own hands to defeat countless scumbags and take your city back like the renegade you are.
Pokémon Puzzle League is debuting first on the North American Virtual Console. Renegade appeared in March on the Japanese Virtual Console. It is now available for download off the Wii Shop Channel.
Check back next week for the latest Virtual Console news and reviews… and the launch of Nintendo's WiiWare service!

As IT has become increasingly important in business, the role of the business analyst (or BA) has also developed and expanded. Many companies, both large and small, are turning to the services of business analysts to help them better understand their sector and how best to run their company. But what does a BA do? And what does the term 'business analysis' actually cover? This article aims to provide an overview and introduction to business analysis and looks at some suggestions for those looking to become a business analyst.
A business analyst is, in simple terms, a professional who will evaluate and analyze a business and the way that it runs. A BA will examine either a business as a whole or a certain area within a business and will determine what could be improved upon, solutions to any problems and how to implement any new developments or changes. Usually a business analyst will form an initial, objective evaluation of a company or specific area and will then come up with a report that provides solutions and suggestions for problem areas. The main objectives of business analysis are to help companies improve their efficiency, productivity and profitability.

Thread: Demon Sheep Free Zone.
#1 Demon Sheep Free Zone.02-04-2010, 05:58 PMDeVore declares 'demon sheep free zone'
By Sean J. Miller - 02/04/10 09:10 AM ET
State Assemblyman Chuck DeVore pledged Thursday to keep his campaign "a demon-sheep-free zone."
The tongue-in-cheek announcement came in response to a bizarre web video released by former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina's campaign yesterday.
The video characterized former Rep. Tom Campbell, who recently joined the California Senate Republican primary, as a "FCINO" -- a fiscal conservative in name only. During the three-minute spot, a man in costume with glowing red eyes infiltrates a flock of sheep. The video quickly became a popular topic on Twitter.
In his message to supporters, DeVore said: "Our campaign will forever be a demon sheep free zone."
Now, I have no idea if Tom Campbell is a demon sheep or not but I will never, ever be able to un-see this clip and neither will you if you click it :D:

Technically it's a demon wolf in sheep's clothing isn't it?

02-04-2010, 07:51 PMShe sure was.She had a major battle with breast cancer and the Kimo affected her mind.She was never that stable to begin with.
"That 'spot' is a sure attention getter purely from a Marketing perspective and is classic Fiorina !"
She trashed HP when she was CEO by forcing them to buy Compaq .
In 2001, Compaq engaged in a merger with Hewlett-Packard. Numerous large HP shareholders, including (Founder) William Hewlett, publicly opposed the deal, which resulted in an impassioned public proxy battle between those for and against the deal.
The merger was approved only after the narrowest of margins, and allegations of vote buying (primarily involving an alleged last-second back-room deal with Deutsche Bank) haunted the new company
"Capellas left the company after serving less than a year as President of HP to become CEO of MCI Worldcom, leading it to be purchased by Verizon. Carly Fiorina, the Chairman and CEO of HP, added Capellas's responsibilities to her own.
Fiorina helmed HP for nearly three years after Capellas left. HP laid off thousands of former Compaq, DEC, HP, and Tandem employees, its stock price generally declined and profits did not perk up. Though the merger initially made it the number one PC maker, it soon lost the lead and further market share to Dell.
In addition, the merging of stagnant Compaq with HP's lucrative printing and imaging division was criticized as that overshadowed the latter's profitability. In February 2005, the Board of Directors ousted Fiorina."
Compaq PC's are crap !

He really lost it when they told him that Eaker painted his toenails.

It could just be a furry twist on Victor/Victoria. I can't help it-the scenes of the guy in the wolf as sheep outfit made me think of the furries.
Sometimes I think that the Manson family actually secretly succeeded in their plot to put LSD into the drinking water in California.

Had a gun pulled on me in a store parking lot. Guy was looking at his pager and was about to walk in front of my car. I honked, he looked up, hit the hood of my car, flipped me off and walked off. I purposely parked away from him, got out the car, my friend flipped him off and he pointed a gun at us. Basically, the cops pissed me off and I realized I could be dead waiting for them to respond.
4/04/2013 12:15pm, #95--
Yeah, that'll do it. Somebody tried to carjack my wife once. Actually, not just carjack her but take her as a hostage. She was waiting in a drive through at a Taco Bell.
She didn't realize that right down the street the cops had stopped a guy and he ran. He ran up to her car, pointed a gun at her and tried to open the passenger side door. Fortunately it was locked and the cops were close behind him so he kept moving. She didn't have a weapon. Very eye opening for her.
Honestly, I still haven't gotten her where she needs to be and I feel guilty about that. She shoots with me, but not enough. We keep meaning to get her a CCW but it always seems to fall by the wayside. I feel like my personal security is excellent but it means **** if something happens to my family when I'm not there.
There's always room for improvement, I guess.

I know right, it would have kept the gun out of his hands for sure.
****, I just got my gun hating wife to go shooting. She cried a little hit the target perfectly 6 out of 10 on her first try. Then, while trying to convince me it wasn't fun, started telling me how she needs a smaller grip, likes the Glock safety trigger and doesn't feel comfortable with the trigger pull on a Sig Sauer....... Yeah, but she hates shooting and guns.Last edited by It is Fake; 4/04/2013 12:57pm at .

Baby steps. My wife is skilled enough for home defense. She has access to a loaded pistol and she can definitely shoot well enough to rain hellfire on anyone trying to break in the house. Those evil high capacity magazines are a blessing. If you miss, squeeze that bitch again. And again. And again.
She's not ready to carry though. I really don't know if she ever will be ready enough for my taste. Concealed carry takes constant diligence and she can't quit losing her fucking iPhone and car keys.

Of course. I just wanted her to realize it isn't as scary as she thinks. You need to respect the weapon just like any other dangerous product.

If you're finding yourself out of control in your relationship to food, and you're over or under eating, feel free to give me a call. I will offer you help, advice and specific techniques for regaining control, eating healthy and improving your physical and emotional well being. If you're isolated, and experiencing feelings of embarrassment, shame, sadness, or frustration, remember that you are not alone. Many have suffered from these difficulties, and many have healed themselves with the proper help. Call me now and find some new hope! .

While most eating disorder issues are treated by cognitive behavioral methodologies or specialized outpatient/inpatient programs, Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, PhD provide relief first and foremost for the brain of one suffering from an eating disorder----without giving them medication. We believe that the neural circuitries responsible for the compulsive behaviors with eating are not necessarily only a neurotransmitter issue but of overused neural networks that affect the harmonization, balance, and decisions of the whole brain. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com or 877-606-6161 to learn more about this safe and effective alternative.

Eating disorders are initially attempts at self-medication for a troubled soul. Initially, the activity relieves the pain when there didn't seem to be another option or resource. This pain relief becomes a disorder when a person develops an inner compulsion (unnoticed at first), which begins to negatively impact other areas of life. By this point, an insidious denial creeps in to protect the behavior and the chaos, both inner and outer, now runs your life. For the ED resolution, clearly one shoe does not fit all. In addition to illuminating the healing landscape for you, our focus in working together is to relieve present suffering and pave the way for the most graceful movement possible.
6 Washington Place, New York, New York 10003
Eating disorders, in the framework I use, are manifestations of deeper emotional issues that need to be resolved. I view eating disorders as true addictions that are deeply intertwined with true emotional addictions. In focusing on underlying emotional addictions, which can have extremely destructive repercussions in many domains, including eating patterns, I've been able to offer a great deal of help to people with eating disorders.
207 East 15th Street, New York, New York 10003
Over the years I have had a number of clients who suffer from anorexia or bulimia. Generally these are young women who are convinced that their misguided eating habits and distorted view of their body are necessary and "normal." Using a gentle but honest approach, I try to help them see the many ways they are hampering their health and their relationships through maintaining their disorder. In time, if they stick with my program, they work through the internal conflicts that underlie the eating disorder and begin to thrive in their personal and professional lives.
30 East 21st Street, Suite 2A4, New York, New York 10010
Eating disorders take life in a variety of forms -- some obvious and some more subtle -- but they always create isolation, pain, and separation from life and loved ones. I work with women and men to break out of the prison of eating and body image disorders. Whether you are suffering from rigid restriction, binge purge cycles, obsession with diet and exercise or compulsive eating, we will work together to understand the meaning of the disorder in your personal history and current life. Gently and without judgement, I will support you to take risks toward changes that will take you in the direction of freedom and a life without rules, restrictions or acting on destructive impulses.

Day 4
Not much to report today. I woke up feeling good but when I tried to straighten up the house a bit I realized that my energy was a bit low and I was also a bit grumpy. Tomorrow is the halfway point; that is pretty exciting. I'm still debating whether it is "already" or "only", although I am sort of leaning towards "only".

Something as simple a : log4j.rootCategory=ERROR, stdout log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d{HH:mm:ss}] %p [%c-%X{Replica}] - %m%n will reduce the logs to a minimum. > [patch] Fix ApacheDS code to allow control and reduce number of outputted logs > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: DIRSERVER-1804 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1804 > Project: Directory ApacheDS > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M10 > Reporter: Piotr Kubowicz > Labels: log4j, log4j-over-slf4j > Fix For: 2.0.0-M11 > > Attachments: slf4j-logging.patch > > > I am using Maven artifact apacheds-all version 2.0.0-M10 (http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.directory.server/apacheds-all/2.0.0-M10). > I want to start and stop the server from my Java code (in a way similar to the one described in the official 'embedded sample': http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/documentation/samples/trunk/embedded-sample/src/main/java/org/apache/directory/seserver/EmbeddedADSVer157.java). > The problem is: ApacheDS start takes 7 minutes and recuces to 3 seconds when standard output is redirected to /dev/null. Reason: you make lots of debug-level logging which take 99.9% of the startup time. > I would like to restrict logging from ApacheDS to ERROR level. However, it is not possible because of the flawed ApacheDS code. > You use SLF4J loggers this way: > private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger( JdbmIndex.class.getSimpleName() ); > This is absolutely *unacceptable*. The result of this code that the logger would be created for name 'JdbmIndex' and there is no way to use logger inheritance to control all logging from ApacheDS code, without affecting my own code. I don't want to look through ApacheDS code, find classes that fail to use logging correctly and silence each of these classes one by one in my own logging configuration. > The correct way for using logging in Java is to use: > private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger( JdbmIndex.class ); > Then the logger would be created for name 'org.apache.directory.server.core.partition.impl.btree.jdbm.JdbmIndex' and I would be able to silence the whole 'org.apache.directory' or just 'org.apache.directory.server.core.partition' - or any part I like. > ---- > I created a patch based on the today version of trunk. It introduces a single correct way of creating loggers across all ApacheDS code. I have also updated your logging configuration in log4j.properties to make sure the application behaviour won't change after my fixes. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Health and role functioning: the use of focus groups in the development of an item bank

BACKGROUND: Role functioning is an important part of health-related quality of life. However, assessment of role functioning is complicated by the wide definition of roles and by fluctuations in role participation across the life-span. The aim of this study is to explore variations in role functioning across the lifespan using qualitative approaches, to inform the development of a role functioning item bank and to pilot test sample items from the bank.
METHODS: Eight focus groups were conducted with a convenience sample of 38 English-speaking adults recruited in Rhode Island. Participants were stratified by gender and four age groups. Focus groups were taped, transcribed, and analyzed for thematic content.
RESULTS: Participants of all ages identified family roles as the most important. There was age variation in the importance of social life roles, with younger and older adults rating them as more important. Occupational roles were identified as important by younger and middle-aged participants. The potential of health problems to affect role participation was recognized. Participants found the sample items easy to understand, response options identical in meaning and preferred five response choices.
CONCLUSIONS: Participants identified key aspects of role functioning and provided insights on their perception of the impact of health on their role participation. These results will inform item bank generation.

Essendon Football Club will honour premiership player Darryl Gerlach on Monday night when he is inducted into the club's Hall of Fame.
Darryl Gerlach made an outstanding contribution to the Essendon Football Club over a period spanning 35 years.
He was a local boy who arrived at Essendon Football Club in 1963 from Strathmore.
He quickly found his niche as a back pocket player where over 168 games in 10 seasons, he went on to play his best football. By the late 1960s Darryl Gerlach he was the best back pocket player in the League.
He was in the back pocket in Essendon's 1965 premiership side and was runner-up in Essendon's best and fairest award in 1966 and then won the award in 1970.
After four years away, Darryl Gerlach returned to Windy Hill in 1977 as a zone recruiter beginning another two decades of service.
He served the club in roles as varied as recruiting, match committee, football operations, drafting and list management, finance and auditing. He was also club vice president for 12 years.
The 2013 Season Launch and Hall of Fame Induction will be held on March 4 at Peninsula, Central Pier Docklands from 6.30pm. Tickets are still available for Essendon's major event of the year.

I'm fairly certain this isn't the proper name for this recipe, but it's what we've always referred to it as! The first time I ever had these "packets" was back when my sister, Sarah and I were in girl scouts...probably about 20 yrs ago! We were having a camping event of some sort, in order to earn one of those girl scout badges and they had each girl scout make their own individual dinner over a campfire. My sister and I each made our own, but somehow, one of ours magically disappeared and since we were both extremely reserved back then, we politely shared the one packet that we were given. (I'm not going to lie...it really pisses me off to this day!) Anyway, on with my story! We greatly enjoyed the tiny morsels we were given, so we attempted to recreate the recipe for my Mom, who in turn, absolutely loved it! The flavors of the beef, carrots, onions and potatoes, all cooked in the same individual packet are wonderful and again, this is something that reheats well! I have made a few changes over the years, because I'm fairly certain they didn't season the "packets" before grilling them or do anything with the meat, other than shape it into a small patty, but I definitely think they need salt in some form!
2 lbs ground beef
1 egg, beaten
Kosher salt
Ground Black Pepper
Onion Powder
3-4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
1 large onion (we prefer vidalia!)
3-4 potatoes, cut into chunks (peeling optional!)
Garlic Salt
Break apart ground beef in a medium-sized bowl and add egg, Kosher salt, pepper and onion powder; mix well. Form into 6 patties.
Tear off (6) 12x12 inch pieces of aluminum foil. Place one patty on center of each piece of foil and surround with carrots, onions and potatoes (equal amounts around each patty). Sprinkle garlic salt over the veggies and pull foil up tightly around ingredients to form a "packet". Place all of your packets on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, or until potatoes and carrots are tender.
NOTE: You can also grill these packets, although I haven't done that in forever and can't recall the exact cooking time!

Those jerks! I can't believe they stole your packet and then made you share.
My husband makes these for me! He learned to make them in boyscouts. It's one of his 3 signature dishes. lol. He puts BBQ sauce in his. We usually have them when camping and set them on a grill grate over the campfire.
Yours look yummy!This was one of my FAVORITES growing up and still is. I make mine with a scoop of cream of mushroom soup in each packet. I also like to eat mine with ketchup. I have always called them tinfoil dinners, but packets works. I'm suddenly in the mood to cook these this week, thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe someone stole your packet! I wonder if the thief still remembers doing it?
We made something similar when I was in girlscouts, but we used a piece of chicken in place of the beef patty. We put the vegetables, chicken, a dollop of butter and salt and pepper in the foil, closed the packet and cooked it over the fire. It was delicious, as I recall!

GO term: | release of cytochrome c from mitochondria |
GO id: | GO:0001836 |
Definition: | The process that results in the movement of cytochrome c from the mitochondrial intermembrane space into the cytosol, which is part of the apoptotic signaling pathway and leads to caspase activation. |
Comments | The release of cytochrome c from mitochondria is a central event in the signaling phase of the apoptotic process, and it is often used by researchers to monitor this type of cell death. Any event that induces apoptosis will at some point induce the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. Therefore, this term should only be used to annotate gene products that are directly involved in this process. An example is Drp1 (DNM1L, UniProt symbol O00429) in PMID:20850011. |

This year four teams at Owens Community College have made the move from Division III to Division II.
And that move is much bigger than just deleting a Roman numeral.
The volleyball, men's soccer, baseball and softball programs at Owens made the move up to Division II status in the National Junior College Athletic Association.
The biggest change, according to Owens athletic director Michael Rickard, is that those four programs now can award scholarships.
"The biggest thing those (scholarships) mean is that our student-athletes now get a chance to go to school and put an emphasis on education instead of work," he said. "Our students have to juggle a lot of balls: go to classes, study, participate in sports and work. A lot of times they had to make a choice between working to pay for their education and participating in sports.
"Now by offering scholarships we have an opportunity to get athletes we wouldn't have had before. It should increase the talent level in each of our sports."
The change won't be noticeable in men's and women's basketball, where Owens has long played at the Division II level. It also won't be apparent in league play, where Owens already is among the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference's elite programs.
Owens has claimed the last three all-sport championships in the OCCAC despite being one of only two teams in the 10-school conference that was not a Division II school - Columbus State is the other.
But Rickard said the change will be clearly evident when Owens teams compete for national honors. For example, in volleyball the Express finished third in the nation last season, marking the team's second straight appearance in the national tournament.
This year Owens is ranked ninth in Division II but has two other top-ranked schools in its district, including defending national champ St. Clair College. That increased competition may block the Express from a berth in the national tournament that the school will host Nov. 8-10.
But Rickard said the programs at Owens are ready to tackle this new level of competition. "From our past successes it's clear we've had a lot of high-caliber athletes," he said. "We're willing to take this challenge."
GETTING HIS KICKS: Former Anthony Wayne standout Andy Cline was named Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Conference special-teams player of the week on Sept. 17.
The previous Saturday Cline, a freshman at Albion College, had kicked two field goals in overtime to help the Britons to a 34-31 triple-overtime win at Buffalo State.
In the first overtime Cline kicked a 36-yard field goal, his longest of the season, to force a second overtime. And in the third extra session he booted a game-winning 20-yard field goal.
So far this season Cline has made four of six field-goal attempts and 15 of 16 PAT tries for a team-leading 27 points.
ON A ROLL: The Heidelberg men's soccer team was ranked fourth in the Great Lakes Region in the latest rankings by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
The 'Berg had won six in a row and was 7-1 before suffering a 1-0 overtime loss to Ohio Northern in the two schools' Ohio Athletic Conference opener.
During its six-game win streak Heidelberg averaged 4.5 goals per contest while holding its opposition to a total of three goals.
Among the team leaders for the 'Berg are Monroe native Adam Neill, a junior who has netted six goals.

Noise is the most invisible of all the man-made threats to the ocean, but to whales who 'see' by hearing, they simply cannot escape it.
Water is an excellent medium for relaying sound, enabling some species of whale to communicate across entire oceans. However, during the last century, things have started to get loud in the ocean. Increasingly industrialised, the seas can be an inescapable aural assault for marine life; noise is created by ship engines, seabed drilling, seismic blasting, military sonar use, and bomb testing.
Hearing and navigational abilities are one and the same for whales, and so if deafened by, say, a bomb going off underwater, their ability to steer away from unsafe shallow waters is hindered, and they may beach.
Last week, 27 pilot whales were beached ... Read more >
Last week, #BreakFree2016 wrapped up across the globe. Greenpeace joined with many inspiring organisations in a global wave of peaceful actions that lasted for 12 days and took place across six continents to target the world's most dangerous fossil fuel projects.
In places like the Philippines, Germany and Indonesia, thousands of people gathered together to take action. They occupied mines, blocked rail lines, linked arms, paddled in kayaks and held community meetings in 13 countries.
The wave of activity is stemming from a growing global awareness that the impacts of climate change are real and increasing. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced that April 2016 marked the 12th consecutive month of record warmth for the globe. Research released by Greenpeace...
Every day, all around the world, people and their pets eat tuna sourced from a Thai seafood conglomerate that has been condemned for destructive fishing methods and a connection to slave labour, including the locking of indentured workers in cages.Whether we're talking about exploiting people or our oceans, until they clean up their supply chain, any seafood from Thai Union should be seen as bad seafood. Thai Union supplies tuna to a whole bunch of major pet brands, including brands owned by MARS like Iams and Whiskas.
Cat food might not seem like a big deal compared to the tuna human beings eat, but let's paws a moment and do some calculations.

Break Free was an unprecedented wave of people power.
Over twelve days, on six continents, in countries all around the world people acted. Individuals, communities, local and international groups all came together to Break Free from fossil fuels.
In New Zealand, 350 Aotearoa shut down several ANZ branches over several days to pressure the big bank to divest from fossil fuels. Forest & Bird added its weight by threatening to pull its business from ANZ.
In Germany, thousands with Ende Gelände shut down Europe's largest coal plant — occupying it for over 48 hours and reducing the plant's capacity by 80 percent.
Hundreds stood up to South Africa's most powerful family with a march that delivered coal to their front door.

An explosive report released yesterday by the University of British Columbia and University of Auckland has revealed that the total amount of marine fish caught in New Zealand waters between 1950 and 2010 was 2.7 times more than was officially reported. Unreported commercial catch and discarded fish make up most of the difference.
Equally troubling, the report suggests the government department in New Zealand responsible for managing the fishery, Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI), has helped the industry cover up illegal fishing.
It looks like the Ministry charged with looking after our oceans, has instead been looking after the short term interests of the fishing industry.
The report cites an internal MPI report which stated:

Earlier this week, almost 90,000 gallons of crude oil leaked into the Gulf of Mexico near Shell's Brutus drilling platform. New photos taken on Saturday show that it's not a pretty sight.
Two days after it was initially reported, oil sits on the surface of the Gulf of Mexico after a Shell well leaked 88,200 gallons into the Gulf. Photo by Derick E. Hingle / Greenpeace.
In the midst of a remarkable global wave of resistance to fossil fuels, we've received another stern reminder that it's time to keep it in the ground and say no to deep sea oil drilling.
Shell's oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico this week — just 90 miles off the coast of Louisiana — is the largest since BP's 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, the effects of which are still resonating throughout the region.

In Batang Regency, on the north coast of Central Java, one of Indonesia's largest coal companies have made themselves at home… right in the middle of land owned by local farmers. How are they able to get away with this?
Batang residents hold a protest in their rice farm that is under threat of development by a massive coal-fired power plant project.

My body shivers from head to toe hearing the furious roar of the villagers. For five days in April the people of Batang have been working together, using "art as protest" and erecting large banners, signs painted with death skulls, and hand-drawn portraits of farmers with a clear message about the injustice they have had to endure.

For the past few weeks, we've been hunting reckless fishing vessels in the Indian Ocean that supply Thai Union, the mega-company responsible for producing much of the tinned seafood on supermarket shelves across the globe.
We've been collecting these unscrupulous vessels' fish aggregating devices (FADs), which enable them to scoop up huge volumes of any and all types sea life, pick out the marketable tuna and dump everything else – the 'bycatch' – back in the sea, dead.

SAP HANA Comes to Cisco and HP
Posted October 10, 2012 By Sean Michael Kerner FeedbackServer vendors roll out new hardware to support SAP's HANA in-memory database.
SAP is not a hardware company. That fact is helping fuel a rush of new server hardware platforms and features from IBM, Cisco and HP that are designed to leverage SAP's HANA, the in-memory database software technology which the software giant expects to yield $386 million in revenues this year.
SAP HANA runs on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and is a core component of SAP's overall application delivery approach. It's an approach that the big server vendors want to enhance with their own respective hardware offerings.
Ben Eiref, senior manager, marketing and product management at Cisco, told InternetNews he sees HANA typically used for analytics workloads as well as CRM and ERP.
"If you think about a typical SAP data center, there are dozens if not hundreds of servers all running SAP applications," Eiref said. "With HANA, we now have the ability to compress that down."
The database is running in the same system that houses the application, which means latency can be improved to deliver near real-time analytics capabilities, Eiref explained. "With HANA you can take the database tier, the infrastructure and the applications and combine them in a fairly tight package, so it's easier to consume for customers."
For Cisco, that package is delivered on the company's UCS rack mount and blade server platforms. Cisco's UCS HANA solution can handle up to 8 TB of data with the largest b-series UCS offering.
"Customers will choose the system that most meets their requirements based on the amount of data they want to process," Eiref said.
Eiref said Cisco is not the only server vendor working on HANA hardware, though he believes the scale that UCS can provide and the management capabilities the system offers help differentiate it from competitors.
HP has also recently been talking about its HANA hardware. With HP, the differentiation is based around the idea of disaster tolerance and the high availability offered by HP AppSystems, which are preconfigured bundles of hardware and software. According to HP, deploying a pair of AppSystems that can failover to one another in the event of a disaster creates a disaster tolerant architecture for HANA.
IBM is also pushing new server hardware for HANA in a market that is becoming increasingly competitive.
Linux vs. UNIX
While multiple vendors are now chasing the SAP HANA hardware opportunity, it's important to note that HANA represents a shift in architecture for some SAP users. From a Cisco perspective, a key benefit of the SAP HANA approach is that it leverage x86 and Linux as opposed to Unix.
"We have a fresh architecture and we don't have to deal with the baggage of Unix," Eiref said.
As well, Eiref noted that customers can't deploy HANA on older Unix architectures. Instead, they must move to Intel x86. "When customers make that transition to x86, they typically look around to see who has the best architecture around Intel x86 and Linux," he said.

I have remarked on this blog before about how much I loved David Stuart Davies' "The Tangled Skein." I gave it very, very high praise when I reviewed Big Finish's audio recording version which I gave a 5 out of 5 stars, something which is extremely rare in my reviews. But, what is somewhat surprising is that despite the fact that I liked the book so much, I had only read it once (and that was three years ago). Sure, I'd listened to the Big Finish version a number of times, but that is rather different. So, I asked myself - would "The Tangled Skein" stand the test of time?
I'll save you the suspense - it did, but perhaps not as much as it used to. Now, don't get me wrong, the novel was still splendid, but it perhaps didn't thrill me the way it did years ago. But, I'll get to that later. Overall, "The Tangled Skein" is a great read, and features grand suspense and thrills, and of course a few chills which are liable to run up and down your spine.
Well first of all, the style of writing is very evocative of Doyle's. Despite, the nature of the story, Davies managed to keep the style akin to the original. The portrayal of the characters is wonderful. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson begin as rather mellow portrayals, but as they wrapped up in the titular tangled skein, they become more and more involved in putting an end to Dracula's reign of terror. What is perhaps best about the writing though is the tight plotting. We quickly become enveloped in the story's plot and it flows beautifully. Tension mounts as Holmes and Watson venture out onto Dartmoor in search of Dracula. Furthermore, the inclusion of characters from Doyle's stories make the story fit well into the canon. Jack Stapleton is a major character during the novel's first half, and he is portrayed brilliantly as he seeks his revenge on Sherlock Holmes.
Count Dracula is also presented wonderfully. Despite the fact that the novel does not fit into the plot of Bram Stoker's book, the character of Dracula feels like the original. It is obvious that Davis drew upon the films made by Hammer Studios in which Christopher Lee portrayed the Count. Dracula is a real bad guy, and a thoroughly creepy one. Dracula does not make his first appearance in the book until the book is half over, but his menacing presence is felt throughout, and it is this feeling of overwhelming evil and dread which pervades the book. The mystery of the unexplained and the unknown is what makes this book so terrifying.
Sadly, the novel is not perfect. While the plotting for the most part is fantastic, there are times when it seems as though scenes are not going anywhere or don;t add much to the plot. Richard Dinnick's adaptation of the book for Big Finish corrected these problems by streamlining some of these scenes and omitting some which do not add to the story. For example, a scene in the novel finds Holmes and Watson dealing with a great owl sent as a envoy from the vampire camp. This scene does not add anything to the plot, and was wisely cut from the audio recording.
Nonetheless David Stuart Davies' book stands out as one of the best Holmes vs. Dracula books every written and surely one of the best Sherlock Holmes pastiches I have come across. It is highly recommended from me, as is the Big Finish adaptation. I would award "The Tangled Skein" novel 4 out of 5 stars.
Notes: As I mentioned above, Davies drew heavily upon the horror films of Hammer Studios. Beginning in the late 1950's, Hammer made colour remakes of some of the most famous horror films released by Universal some twenty years earlier. I will be perfectly frank and say that I am not the biggest fan of Hammer's work, however two films (which surely greatly contributed to this novel) I do find to be wonderful. 1958's "Horror of Dracula" and 1959's "The Hound of the Baskervilles" united Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Cushing took the parts of Van Helsing and Holmes while Lee was Dracula and Sir Henry Baskerville. if you are unfamiliar with either of these two films, they also come highly recommended.

Now for the sauce! I just melted 1 stick of butter and melted 2 cups of shredded cheddar and then added 16 ounces of heavy whipping cream and stirred it while cooking until it came to a boil and then reduced the heat to simmer until it thickened and kept stirring. Then added the cooked chopped broccoli and some crumbled pieces of bacon.
I portioned the pasta into 6 servings and saved the other 5 servings for later.
This is 1 serving of pasta, 1 serving of broccoli and 4 ounces of grilled chicken. I should have added more bacon though.... LOL

Fill two large pots with 2 quarts of cold water in each. Cover and bring to a boil. Open the packages of noodles but do not remove them. Turn the open end of the package upside down on a cutting surface or table. Pull the package up about 2 inches. Hold the package tightly. Place it down on the table. Wrap a piece of string around the noodles, about 1 inch from the top. Tie it securely. Repeat with the other package. Now remove the package. Place each bundle of noodles in separate pots of boiling water as they have different cooking times. As soon as you place the noodles in the water, take a wooden spoon or tongs and fan out the noodles below where they are tied so that they do not stick together. Do this every several seconds until the noodles are done. Both types of soba take approximately 7 to 9 minutes to cook. Test for doneness by tasting a noodle from each pot. Pour into a colander and rinse several seconds under cold water until cold. Take the tied end of each bundle and hold the bundle under the faucet until the noodles are straight. Place the cooked bundles on a cutting board. Remove the tied end of the noodles with the string attached by cutting with a knife and discard that end. Lift up the noodles and place on a platter.
Place a sheet of nori, smooth shiny side down, on a sushi mat. Take about 1/8 of the kamut soba and lay it straight across the bottom third of the sheet of nori, leaving about 1/2 inch of the sheet uncovered closest to you. Spread out slightly. Place a row of spinach and a strip of carrot on top of the soba, running the entire length of the noodles. Next, take 1/8 of the mugwort soba and lay it on top of the spinach and carrot. Roll forward in a jelly roll fashion, pulling back the mat as you roll. Just before you completely roll the sushi, moisten the far end of the nori with a little cold water, using your fingers. Completely roll it up and wrap the mat firmly around the roll. Squeeze the mat gently to seal the nori roll. Remove the mat. Repeat the above steps until all rolls are made.
Place a small amount of cold water in a bowl. Place a roll on a cutting board. Dip the knife into the bowl to moisten and trim the loose noodles away from both ends. Now slice the roll in half with a gentle sawing motion. Moistening the knife each time you slice. Slice each half in half and each quarter in half. You should now have 8 equal size pieces of sushi. Place on a serving platter and repeat until all sushi has been sliced.
To serve, mix a small amount of hot water with the wasabi creating a thick paste. Place a small amount of the wasabi mix in small individual dipping bowls and add a little shoyu. Mix and dip each piece of sushi into the sauce before eating.

At the heart of Gibson's square-shoulder dreadnought line of acoustic guitars is the Songwriter Series, and the Songwriter Deluxe Studio is its most fundamental offering. First introduced in 2003, the Songwriter Deluxe Studio combines Gibson's time-honored bracing patterns of the 1930s with Gibson's classic square-shoulder shape, which gained world-wide recognition in the early 1960s.
Gold Grover Rotomatic Tuners:
Grover's original Rotomatic tuners are an engineering marvel, with abundant style and performance exactly suited for the Songwriter Deluxe Studio. With a gear ratio of 14:1, the Rotomatics deliver precision tuning in a durable housing that provides maximum protection for the gear and string post. All moving parts are cut for exact meshing, eliminating the possibility of slippage. A countersunk tension screw lets players regulate the tuning tension to any degree. A special lubricant inside the gear box provides smooth and accurate tuning stability.
Crown Peghead Logo:
Gibson put the first crown peghead logo on an ES-300 back in 1940, and it has graced the headstocks of many legendary Gibson guitars ever since, including today's Songwriter Deluxe Studio. Over the years, it has also been called a "thistle" because of the group of flowering plants with the sharp prickles, though Gibson has preferred to call it a "crown."
The pickguard on the Songwriter Deluxe Studio is a custom line design made from Tortec. As with all of Gibson's pickguards, the coloring, inlay, and binding are all done by hand.
A rosette is the beautiful, hand-crafted circle around the soundhole, and can be one of the most ornamental elements of any acoustic guitar. It is also one of the most subtle and complicated woodworking decorations on any acoustic guitar. The rosette on the Songwriter Deluxe Studio is one of Gibson's finest. It is a double-ring rosette with an abalone-filled middle, with both outer rings consisting of six-ply binding, adding a stylish, understated elegance to the Songwriter line.
Ebony Fingerboard with Rolled Edges and Split Parallelogram Inlays:
The fingerboard of Gibson's Songwriter Deluxe Studio is constructed from the highest grade ebony on earth, which is personally inspected and qualified by Gibson's team of skilled experts before it enters the Gibson factories. The resilience of this durable wood makes the fingerboard extremely balanced and stable, and gives each chord and note unparalleled clarity and bite. The Songwriter Deluxe Studio's split parallelogram inlays are made of genuine mother of pearl, and are inserted into the fingerboard using a process that eliminates gaps and doesn't require the use of fillers. The fingerboard also sports a rolled edge - instead of the usual right angle where the fingerboard surface meets the neck, Gibson Acoustic's rolled edges are slightly beveled for an extremely smooth and comfortable feel, enhancing the playability of the Songwriter Deluxe Studio.
Body Tonewoods:
The body design of the Songwriter Deluxe Studio is known as a small dreadnought. The top is made from AA-grade Sitka spruce, while the back and sides are constructed from rosewood, giving the Songwriter a balanced, warm tone with clear lows and solid treble registers. Selecting the right wood, and the formula to dry it out, are two of the most central procedures to Gibson's guitar-building process. Beginning with its first catalog in 1903, Gibson has assured its customers that every guitar would be built using woods with "the most durable, elastic, and sonorous qualities," and today's guitars from Gibson Acoustic are no different.
L.R. Baggs Element Active Acoustic Pickup System:
The Songwriter Deluxe Studio from Gibson Acoustic comes equipped with the popular Element Active Acoustic Pickup System from L.R. Baggs, which features a low-profile undersaddle element-or transducer-that's proven more stable and durable than many standard ribbon-type pickups. Combined with an onboard preamp with an unobtrusive and removable volume control mounted just inside the soundhole, the Element delivers performance not previously attainable from an undersaddle pickup. Its sleek and effective design removes unnecessary internal components to enhance the coupling between the pickup and the guitar, and improve the sensitivity of the transducer for a robust, lively, and natural acoustic sound with excellent dynamics and delicate high end. The Element works with a standard 9V battery, which is housed inside the guitar in L.R. Bagg's new "Battery Bagg."
Every acoustic guitar made by Gibson features hand-scalloped, radiused top bracing inside the body, a feature normally found only in limited run, hand-made guitars. By scalloping each brace by hand, the natural sound of the acoustic is focused more toward the center of the body, enhancing the instrument's sound projection. The bracing pattern inside the Songwriter Deluxe Studio is based on the design used for Gibson's celebrated Advanced Jumbo models of the 1930s, consisting of a wider "X" pattern that allows the top to vibrate more freely and push the sound toward the soundhole. The result is an instrument that delivers incredible response, and a superior dynamic range with balanced, warm tones, clear lows, and solid treble registers.

Cal State San Bernardino scored three times in the first 13 minutes of their CCAA conference women's soccer match with Cal State East Bay and went on to defeat the Pioneers 5-0 on a 102-degree afternoon at Coyote Premier Field.
It was the fourth straight win for the Coyotes, now 5-4 on the season and 4-1 in the CCAA, boosting them into at least a temporary tie for first place in the South Division, pending the outcome of the Cal State L.A. and Cal State Dominguez Hills matches.
Cal State East Bay, moving up to NCAA Division II from Division III, slipped to 1-6-3 overall and 0-4-1 in the CCAA. The Pioneers move on to play at Cal Poly Pomona on Sunday while the Coyotes host perennial CCAA power UC San Diego, ranked No. 5 in the West Region.
The Coyotes, ranked No. 8, got two goals and an assist from junior Katie Liby, her first scores of the season as well as a goal and two assists by junior Unity Beddingfield. Sophomore Kristina Gomez notched her third goal of the season just 3:08 into the match. Sophomore Kelsey Gudgeon tacked on the other goal and assisted on another.
CSUSB took a 4-0 lead at the half. The only score of the second half came on Liby's second goal off linked passes from Beddingfield and Gudgeon..
Coyote goalkeepers Laura Lyons and Tiffany Mallick were required to make just one save as CSUSB outshot the Pioneers 16-6. East Bay goalkeeper Nina Cefalo had six saves and cut off several crossing passes that might have resulted in further scores by CSUSB.
Monthly Archives: September 2009
CCAA loaded by top teams
Led by defending national champion Sonoma State, five California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) men's golf teams open the 2009-10 season ranked in the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) Division II Top 25 poll that was released earlier this month.
The Seawolves, who defeated CCAA rival Cal State San Bernardino in a one-hole playoff to capture the 2009 national championship, begin the year ranked No. 5 after receiving seven first-place votes and totaling 317 points.
Georgia College is the top-ranked team and is followed by Barry, Columbus State and Lynn.
Joining Sonoma State in the Top 10 is Cal State San Bernardino, which is ranked ninth. Cal State Stanislaus is 12th, Chico State No. 15 and Cal State Monterey Bay is tied for 24th.
Sonoma State head coach Val Verhunce brings an experienced team into this season, highlighted by All-CCAA junior Patrick Bauer.
Cal State San Bernardino is led by senior Gene Webster, Jr., who enjoyed a solid summer that included advancing to the round of 32 at the U.S. Amateur Public Links Golf Championships in Norman, Okla.
Sophomore Teddy Schrier, who won a U.S. Amateur sectional qualifying event this past summer, is the top returning player at Cal State Stanislaus.
Chico State returns the CCAA Most Valuable Player (Lucas Delgado), Freshman of the Year (Kyle Souza) and Newcomer of the Year (Brandon Harkins) from a year ago.
Oskar Nystrom leads Cal State Monterey Bay into the season after concluding the 2008-09 campaign with a 75.17 stroke average in 10 events.
Cal State Monterey Bay will be the first CCAA team to get its season underway when it travels to Lacey, Wash. to compete in the Saint Martin's Invitational beginning Friday.
Sonoma State will open defense of its first-ever national title on Monday, Sept. 28, when it travels to Noblesville, Ill. for the NCAA Preview Tournament.
Cal State Stanislaus, Chico State, Cal State Monterey Bay and UC San Diego will also be in action on Monday when they comprise part of the field at the Western Washington Invitational in Bellingham, Wash.

Coyotes cruise past Broncos in three
The Cal State San Bernardino volleyball team had no trouble dispatching local rival Cal Poly Pomona 25-11, 25-21, 25-13. It was one of the more lopsided outcomes in what has been a competitive rivalry.
The Coyotes are young but the Broncos and young AND inexperienced, not a good combination.
The were more people shoe-horned into Darlene May Gym than I have ever seen. But it didn't help the home team because the Coyotes silenced the crowd with their strong start.
Give the Broncos credit for one thing though. They got absolutely pummeled in the first game which can sometimes lead a young team to be even more overwhelmed. But they came back and were competitive in the second game, It was tied as late as 18-18 before the Coyotes pulled away.
The Coyotes are poised to make another national championship run. And the Broncos wil learn from the experience of playing a team of such high caliber.
Both teams will be playing at home on Friday night with the Coyotes taking on Humboldt State, another team they should have no trouble with. The Broncos will be hosting Sonoma State, another nationally ranked team.

UPDATE: KSAX discontinues broadcasts
For many viewers, it's like losing a long-time friend.
KSAX-TV, which has provided news programming in the Alexandria area for 25 years, announced Tuesday that it was substantially reducing its operations, effective immediately.
The local news cut-ins that the station did during Twin Cities-based KSTP-TV nightly newscasts are gone, along with local weather forecasts and locally produced commercials.
The cutback leaves 17 people without a job. Those employees will receive severance pay and benefits, according to the station's owner, Hubbard Broadcasting. In addition, KSAX will work with local and state government agencies to help employees with outplacement assistance.
KSAX's website is also gone. Online viewers are being redirected to the KSTP-TV site.
Local viewers, however, will continue to receive ABC network, Twin Cities and national news and syndicated programming from KSTP through KSAX's signal. KSAX will still have a small local presence, keeping two employees to maintain the station's transmitter and equipment.
Ed Smith, KSAX station manager for the past 12 years, will be among those looking for a new position. He said the streamlining was difficult but necessary.
"It's never an easy decision to reduce the scope of a business but this decision came down to economics." Smith said.
Smith, who has been with the station since it debuted in 1987, noted that back then, there was no cable TV available north of St. Cloud and if people wanted satellite TV, they'd have to pull in the signal through a 25-foot-wide dish.
Now, with more than 200 cable channels available in the area, along with Direct TV and Dish satellite options, the local viewing audience is much more fragmented, Smith said.
The changes have made it very difficult for smaller market TV stations to turn a profit. He noted that KCCO-TV in Alexandria, once known as KCMT, experienced the same challenges that forced it to cease operations about eight years ago. "Sadly, the economics of the TV business just couldn't continue to work for the smaller markets," he said.
There's an upside to the cutbacks. By transmitting through KSAX, KSTP will be able to improve its signal quality, bringing high definition and multiple channel options to local viewers without the expense of upgrading the Alexandria studio.
Smith looks back fondly at his years with KSAX. "When three of us started here back in 1987, we were told we had a year to get the station on the air," he said. "Twenty-five years later, I'm still living here and had the opportunity to raise four terrific kids in this community."
Smith thanked all the viewers who tuned in to KSAX over the years. "They've been fantastic," he said. "We've had a loyal base of support and we've appreciated all the news tips they've given and for allowing us to come into their homes every night to share their stories."
He also acknowledged the advertisers for their support. "They made 25 years possible," he said.
KSAX played a big role in community events - including broadcasting the popular Jingle Bells telethon for the Jaycees. Smith said it's uncertain how the station's cutbacks will affect the telethon.
The station is also a member of eight different Chambers of Commerce in its viewership area, which stretches from Bemidji to Redwood Falls.
KSAX played a role as a "training ground" for new reporters to gain valuable experience. Since the announcement of the cutbacks went out, Smith said he's heard from many of them who sent well wishes via Facebook and e-mails.
"More than 200 young people started their careers in our newsroom," Smith said. "Now, they're all over the country. That's our legacy."

On Tuesday, May 7 at 6:30 p.m., University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet) will present a special lecture, "The Penn Vet Podological Museum: The Farrier-Vet Connection Through the Years," as part of the First Tuesday Lecture Series at Penn Vet's New Bolton Center in Kennett Square, Pa. The series offers the public open lectures on equine topics, at no charge, the first Tuesday of each month.
The May 7 lecture will be presented in New Bolton Center's Alumni Hall by Patrick Reilly, chief of farrier services at New Bolton Center. The farrier service at New Bolton Center is one of the oldest and most well-respected programs in the country, providing clinical service to horses with complex problems and participating in the education of veterinary students. Reilly also serves as director of the applied polymer research laboratory, exploring new materials and techniques to advance hoof care.
"The horseshoes and specimens of the University of Pennsylvania's unusual Podological Museum provide an interesting view of horses and their care in the 19th century," says Reilly. Despite numerous advances, some of the basic methods of hoof care have changed little over the centuries; this presentation also will examine how the past might influence the future concepts of hoof care.
The First Tuesday Lecture Series offers faculty and clinicians at New Bolton Center an opportunity to share current information on topics of interest and relevance to horse owners and caregivers throughout the region. In June, the lecture will focus on equine anesthesia. The series takes a break in July and August and will resume the first Tuesday of September.
Though the lectures are free, seating is limited. Interested parties are asked to RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com. For a complete list of scheduled lectures, visit www.vet.upenn.edu/FirstTuesdays.

Anybody know forms of business security/collateral?
Collateral is a security in the form of an asset or property offered against a loan. Financial institutions require collateral for mortgages and other secured loans, including foreclosure, non-recourse loans, and repossession.
If you were to buy a house and needed a loan from the bank they would need collateral ie. The house would be the collateral. If you were unable to pay back the loan then the ban could or would take the house off you as that was your security. hope this makes it easier!!!! And best of luck!
What about security/ colateral for a business though?
Collateral assets come in many forms. Defined by the Small Business Administration, collateral is "an additional form of security which can be used to assure a lender that you have a second source of loan repayment." Most commonly, collateral is real property (i.e. an owner-occupied home), but it can also be represented by your business's inventory, cash savings or deposits, and equipment. In order to structure a loan that benefits both you and your business, you'll need to make the right decision about what you offer up as collateral to the bank. It's also important to be realistic when considering the risks of defaulting on a loan, which could have harsh consequences for not only your business, but for your personal life, too.

A waterspout is a funnel cloud over water. It is a nonsupercell tornado over water. Waterspouts do not suck up water; the water seen in the main funnel cloud is actually water droplets formed by condensation.[1] It is weaker than most of its land counterparts.[2]
Types[change | change source]
Non-tornadic[change | change source]
Waterspouts that are not associated with a rotating updraft of a supercell thunderstorm, are known as "nontornadic" or "fair-weather waterspouts", and are by far the most common type.[3]
Fair-weather waterspouts occur in coastal waters and are associated with dark, flat-bottomed, developing convective cumulus towers.
Snowspout[change | change source]
A winter waterspout, also known as a snow devil, an icespout, an ice devil, a snonado, or a snowspout, is a very rare meteorological phenomenon in which a vortex from snow develops that looks like a waterspout.[4] One does not know much about this rare happening and there are only six known pictures of this event so far.
There are three main things that produce a winter waterspout:
- Very cold temperatures present over a body of warm water enough to produce fog that looks like steam above the water's surface. This usually needs temperatures of -18 °C or colder if the water temperature is no warmer than 5 °C.
- Lake-effect snows in a small, enclosed or banded formation must be present and going on.
- The wind speed has to be slow, usually less than 5 knots (9.25 km/h).

Great experience
Overall, we had a terrific experience and vacation at the villa, the villa itself though could use some much needed TLC. The walls are in much need of a paint job. For the price that we paid for the 2 week rental, our group thought that there would be more high end furnishings as well as kitchen supplies. The coffee pot was too small and leaked, there were no cutting boards, or sharp knives for food prep, the appliances were old and stained. I think that the owner of the villa would benefit his guests if he were to invest a little more into such simple things as mentioned above.. The maid Thelma was terrific as well as the pool guy and Angus the groundskeeper. Hassan and Peter our drivers for the 2 weeks were fantastic.
The house clearly has undergone some investment
The villa was outstanding!
villa was great and everything was awesome
The villa is beautiful, quiet and relaxing. The open kitchen is great for cooking and entertaining and the open air dining area was a fantastic place to gather for family meals. The pool was great for the kids and adults. A perfect set up for families and groups who can enjoy the open spaces, living room, deck and pool and then have the privacy of their own room with private bath. The location is convenient to many activities and the close proximity to some of the best beaches was great.
