Money Available for Summer Concerts
December 5, 2013
By Lynne Bronstein
Observer Reporter
The City Council took action this week to begin planning for the 2014 Summer Concert Series, a gesture which may help the popular free concert
series toward an earlier finalization of its schedule.
The Council, at its meeting Monday night, opted to again retain Gary Mandell, owner of Boulevard Music, as producer of the concert series his 17th year. Mandell was not present at the meeting due to teaching a group class at Boulevard Music.
According to the city's Fiscal Impact report on the concert series it is estimated that there is a sum of $17,000 available for funding the concerts. This might fund a series of six concerts, the same number as in the 2013 series.
For 2013, funding came from several sources: $7,000 from the General Fund, $5,000 from the Cultural Trust Fund, $2,500 from Sony and $2,460 from the Cultural Affairs Foundation, for a total of $16, 960.
In contrast, funding for the 2012 series, following dissolution of the Culver City Redevelopment Agency (CCRA), totaled $7,500, most of which came from sponsors.
The lack of Redevelopment Agency funds has been a factor in planning free summer concerts. Since the former CCRA approved a contract with Mandell in 2007, concerts were funded by a combination of Redevelopment funds and donations from Sony, the Cultural Affairs Foundation and Trust Fund, and sponsors. Formerly, funding for the concerts ran as high as $60,000.
City Manager John Nachbar confirmed that the city can spare the $17,000 for "a minimum" of four concerts but added that "if Mandell can raise money through sponsorships, there can be more concerts."
Speaking for the Cultural Affairs Commission, Marla Koosed said she thought Mandell did a great job with the concerts but wanted to suggest the Council put out a request for proposals (RFP) for others who might be able to produce concerts. She also wondered why the city had not considered holding concerts on another day and time, like Sunday afternoon rather than Thursday evening.
Koosed and the Cultural Affairs Commission had made similar suggestions in 2011 and 2012.
Jim Clarke asked the city staff "Did we ever do an RFP for the concerts? Was there any interest by anyone else to do them?"
Shelly Wolfberg, Assistant to the City Manager, replied that in fact, the city had put out an RFP after Mandell's original contract with the city expired at the end of September, 2007.
"There were five responses but Mr. Mandell was selected," said Wolfberg. "There has been no interest from anyone else since that time."
In fact, in 2011 at the persuasion of former City Council member Scott Malsin, the Council considered and approved the production of two concerts by the Jazz Bakery. There was also brief interest in having radio station KCRW produce a few concerts but that idea was scuttled due to KCRW's quote of the cost. There were, however, no RFPs involved in these decisions.
Nachbar hastened to note that when the call for RFPs was put out, "there was significantly more money for concerts than there is now."
Council members were happy with the idea of Mandell producing and agreed to have staff bring back the item for approval in the near future.
Assistant City Manager Martin Cole noted that the early start of discussion on the concerts will favor Mandell, giving him more time to book good acts. Mandell had told the Council on previous occasions that several months are required for him to contact and book the best acts.
Mayor Jeff Cooper however, said that Koosed had brought up some "good points" and while it is too late to do RFPs for the 2014 series, he thought it might be good to look at that possibility for the 2014 series.
The Council also agreed that the Cultural Affairs Commission and Foundation should have more of a role in vetting the concert series.
In other actions, the Council approved a Consent Calendar item on the preliminary mid-year budget report.
The mid-year report will be coming in early 2014 but Chief Financial Officer Jeff Muir presented a PowerPoint report on the preliminary numbers. The gist of this was that things are looking better than expected. Revenues outpaced expenditures by $2.1 million. There is currently no deficit.
Muir said much of this is due to hiring freezes, cutbacks, and revenues from the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and Measure Y.
Muir mentioned that the Culver City web site (www.culvercity.org) now has a new tool called the Financial Transparency Tool, courtesy of "Open Government." Users need only to click on the link (https://culvercity.opengov.com/transparency) and they will be able to see the city's financial status, broken down by charts.

Final Fantasy XIII deserved every word dedicated to panning the ultra-linear passage play which forced its heroes to march and fight for 20 hours or more with few side-paths or secrets, and no sign of a light at the end of the tunnel.
This sequel attempts to compensate for virtually every sin its predecessor committed. On loading the disc, players are presented with a 13-part "beginner's primer" which explains the story so far. A cynic might suggest it's really aimed as much at players who quit the first game early, out of boredom, as it is at the newcomers.
FFXIII was slow, awkward, and dull for a grand chunk of the ride, but its sequel is fast, fluid and exciting. Just don't expect it to always make sense. Considering how much dialogue there is in this game, what we have here might be the most plot-light Final Fantasy ever. You're Serah and you're teaming up with the not-so-heroically-named Noel, on a time-travelling quest to find Serah's sister Lightning, the hero of FFXIII, and resolve paradoxes in the space-time continuum by bouncing between locations and points in history until you mould time itself in such a way that you unlock the path to your destiny.
The gift of time travel opens up the world far more than anyone might have hoped for as they trudged through the soul-sapping drudgery of the last game - so much so that there is a serious risk of distraction. Mercifully, each time a player loads their saved game, a TV-style recap tells you what you've done so far: Search for Lightning, correct paradoxes.
The automated fighting system has been made more strategic and fun with the improved paradigm shifts, which allow you to switch your party's character classes in an instant to match your enemies' attacks and defences, bringing a new level of pace to battles.
There's something Pokemon-ish about the collection, training and battling of captured monsters. They are incorporated into your party paradigms, and gain skills in the same way you do - by receiving points allocated on the Crystarium class progression board, brought over from FFXIII. The monsters also have their own limit breaks, of sorts, thanks to a system called the Feral Link - no relation to the state of Auckland's inner-city buses after dark.
So, while its predecessor choked on its narrowness, Final Fantasy XIII-2 risks going completely insane with its abundant freedom and wayward focus. Fortunately there is enough pure action for all but the pickiest of gamers to overlook. The combat is challenging for warriors of all stripes, and the exploration is generally rewarding - sometimes spectacularly so. The future looks bright for Final Fantasy once again.

If you are like me, you grew up on martial arts movies and they are what helped to push you into your martial arts fandom. Of course that means that you are into Bruce Lee movies, but Bloodsport will always have a place in your heart. So what could be cooler than to see the Thai fighter from Bloodsport, Paco, explain Lumpini Stadium in late 2013. This interview was conducted in November of last year with Paulo Tocha and it's just kind of awesome.

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Hi Salmon Chaser,
Although the Greenland buyout should certainly be considered a 'success', in that a significant harvest of wild fish no longer exists, I think the concensus among the scientific community is that the expected improvement in North American river stocks has been disappointing. I think the buyout was definitely a success, in the sense that a great model has been established for future international cooperation in Salmon conservation.
In trying to evaluate the 'big picture', I tend to be skeptical of anecdotal reports from other anglers, and resident 'locals', although I love Fish Stories as much as the next guy . The anglers (I are one!) are always enthusiastic after a good trip and catching a bunch of fish, and it's too easy to infer that a river is healthy after hearing/reading a few such reports.(And fishermen who have a Skunk trip tend to be a lot less talkative, I think). Resident 'locals', particularly those with an economic interest in the reputation of the fishery, will very seldom admit to a 'bad year', in my experience.
Here's the NF/Labrador 2003 Stock Status Update- there are some bright spots, but overall, not all that promising, IMHO.
I fished in NF/ Labrador five weeks last year (the last trip ended Aug.29), and I'd say the fishing was about the same as 2002 overall, not as good as '98-01. But, I'm just one angler, only in one river at a time (and maybe the wrong/right time), if you know what I mean.
I sure hope the trends will improve, but I guess I'm not quite ready to rent the 'party-tent' (YET!)

RE: Labrador
morning jcc_00
I guess my post did "generalize" Labrador as being up everywhere,huh? What I was referring to were various posts made throughout last season(SAO) as well as friends who made the trip(Pinware, Eagle, Forteau) and opinion's of those i met on various rivers. Following the York River (Gaspe) thread this summer on SAO made me want to break out the credit card and just GO!!!
Sue Scotts river reports in the Winter 2003 ASJ. Also included in this were emails from other anglers whose opinions were the same as mine, that there was definately an increase in fish in 2003.
One labrador lodge owner posted this summer that there were salmon in his river of close to 15lbs. He has owned the camp for years and never saw that before. Almost a 100%grilse and small salmon river. He was thrilled. I'll dig up the thread.
My original post was meant to convey what i know and have heard, been told, or have read. Mostly it was an effort to find out if my area(PEI) lucked out,as we had a terrific season here.
Still waiting to hear if other "local rivers" had similar surges in salmon numbers.
Also, all the talk of labrador that i recieved was for June and July, nobody I talked to was fishing there in late August.
Hope this clarifies a few things

Hey Topher, the grilse pictured above was one I landed on the morell last summer, not the fish i mentioned at the "Swimming Hole" Here is your fish
Salmon Chaser,
I was up on the Eagle River in late August last year. Based on the records that I saw for the camp, which is only a small part of the overall activity, the run for the year was not higher than the previous year. Fish size was consistent with 2002 and grilse numbers only increased slightly. Larger fish numbers were not up. Do you have other information for Labrador that counters the information that I saw perhaps?
|Topher Browne
Hi again, Salmon Chaser!
Missed your p.m. the first time around! Corey M. is not a guy you want to follow through the pool! We're headed to Labrador together for two weeks in July.
See you on the river...Tight Lines...
|Topher Browne
Hi Salmon Chaser,
I'll second everything you say: the runs were up everywhere I fished (Gaspesie, Nova Scotia); let's hope, as you say, it's not a temporary bump but rather a turning of the corner.
The only bummer for me was the number of big, MSW fish that I observed getting whacked on certain rivers en Gaspesie. Although the biologists claim they have it under control, I question the wisdom of wiping out approximately a third of the run each year on some rivers.
|Salmon Chaser
Buyout a success??
Hello everyone.
Just wondering your thoughts as you saw things on Atlantic Salmon rivers in 2003? For the most part, Prince Edward Island salmon runs were up over years past with a few experiencing excellent runs. The Morell, for instance, was estimated at 1500 to 2000 fish. I lean toward 2000 as it just never seemed to end. Four fish over 20lbs were recorded in the trap and 3 were landed at 15lbs each. Alot of 12lb- 16lb fish were observed in the pools.
The margaree, from all accounts had good numbers of fish from early summer through Halloween. Lots of water slowed things down by times last fall, but i had at least one fish on everyday of my trip. (Oct13-19)
Reports from Gaspe rivers were of terrific runs as well. Labrador reports were of more big fish than usual(no nets at sea???) as grilse rivers had an unusual amount of MSW fish arriving.
Was '03 just a peak in the cycle? Banner years like last have appeared before. Was it just a coincidence? I hope not. I hope that Salar may have turned a corner and perhaps this is the "toe-hold" (Greenland closure) this species needs.
Without naming names and giving away secret pools, I would be interested to get a feel for what each of you found in your geographical area. Were runs up? Down? Same?
Looking forward to some responses.
Lets hope 04 puts 03 to shame!!!
Salmon Chaser

Topher, I am friends with Corey Mosher and i took a picture of you last october at "Swimming Hole". You had released a nice 10lb-12lb fish. No proper introductions at that time, perhaps this year.

Well, fellas. I'm back from the dead.
Took several months off from collecting (before the TAC's came out) and almost got out of the hobby altogether. But all that changed this past March when my wife & I welcomed our first child (an 8lb 7oz boy) into the world.
But now I'm back in the game. I've decided that all my current & future figures would be his (some day). Sorry I haven't posted in so long, but I haven't been the first in the group to find anything new or exciting.
The only downside to taking so much time off from collecting is that I missed some of the final waves from the SAGA collection. But I can live with it. Thankfully I'm up to date on the TAC figs & waiting on wave 4 to hit.
Happy to be back

Rodriguez-Iturbe receives Stockholm Water Prize
Posted August 23, 2002; 05:14 p.m.
King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden awarded the Stockholm Water Prize to Princeton hydrologist Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe at a ceremony in Stockholm August 15.
The prize, known informally as the "Nobel Prize of Water," is given annually by the Stockholm Water Foundation and carries $150,000 award. As previously announced , the foundation selected Rodriguez-Iturbe for the award in March, citing his many contributions to the basic understanding of how water cycles between the oceans, the atmosphere and the continents.

the more advanced games are, the more likely they become deferred, the reason is that it's not possible to get the amount of light-surface interactions with forward rendering in a fast way. as you said, it would seem deferred is more demanding, yet it's the only way to go if you want flexibility.
What's 'advanced' mean? Huge numbers of dynamic lights? You can do just as many lights with forward as long as you've got a decent way of solving the classic issue of determining which objects are affected by which lights. Actually, the whole point of tiled-deferred was that it was trying to reduce lighting bandwidth back down to what we had with forward rendering, while keeping the "which light for which object" calculations in screen-space on the GPU.
advanced means there are no limits in light-surface interactions due to tech. deferred shading has a lot of 'points', not just this one.
-you had to reduce shader combination counts, you can imagin, even if your forward solution would be fast enough, you could have 0 to 100 lights affecting a surface, this means you need 100 times the permutation of your shader library that isn't small already. (and no, sadly dynamic branching is not a solution on current gen HW, and no even static branching is not a solution, as your shader will increase be some % and your register usage will increase as well, and we graphics coder guys don't want to pay those ms that we could spend elsewhere. yes, it's a performance reason)
-complexity of light resources, there are some simple lights, some area lights, some projector light, some shadow-mapping lights, there is a sun, there are light streaks (e.g. particle, laser beams). if you'd want to go forward, you'd need to index into all the needed resources, like textures, constants, and current gen hw is not really supporting that. creating atlases is also not very feasible, you'd need to spend a lot of time on moving memory to re-arange data per object to draw. (and you'd still face tight limits on current gen).
you can find some more reasons people went deferred in:
If your environment is static, then you can bake all the lighting (and probes) and it'll be a ton faster than any other approach!
Most console games are still using static, baked lighting for most of the scene, which reduces the need for huge dynamic light counts.
and even those engines, that decimate a vast count of lights this way, like UE3 using lightmass, have problems to apply those lights to dynamic objects, in UE3 they use spherical harmonics to combine them, just like KZ2 does for baked lights. lightmaps are really just orthogonal to forward/deferred.
AFAIK those realtime shadows in UE3 are claimed to be deferred, as that's the only reason why UE3 does not cope well with MSAA.
Another issue with deferred is that it's very hard to do at full 720p on the 360. The 360 only has 10MiB of EDRAM, where your frame-buffers have to live. Let's say you optimize your G-buffer layout so you've got hardware depth/stencil, and two 8888 targets -- that's 3 * 4bpp * 1280*720, or ~10.5MiB -- that's over the limit and won't fit.
n.b. these numbers are the same as depth/stencil + FP16_16_16_16, which also makes forward rendering or deferred light accumulation difficult in HDR...
exactly, yet another reason why it is a very unfavorable idea to go deferred on 360. why would anyone do that? it's because the alternative just does not work (for the reasons given above). Sure, if you make a racing game like gran turismo, with just one light source and maybe some spherical harmonics evaluation in the VS for nicer ambient/radiosity, no reason to go deferred. even an outdoor shooter like just caused can life with forward I guess. but as soon as you want more advanced lighting, like GearsOfWar, GTA, Crysis, Stalker, ... you can't go forward on current gen. next gen, I imagin something like AMD did in LEO is very doable.
Sure, Crysis, Battlefield 3 and Killzone are deferred, but there's probably many more games that use forward rendering, even "AAA" games, like Gears of War (and most other Unreal games), L4D2 (and other Source games), God of War, etc... Then there's the games that have gone deferred-lighting (LPP) as a half-way choice, such as GTA4 (or many rockstar games), Space Marine, etc...
Crysis is forward shaded with up to 16lights per object, (check the insane amount of shader space they use ;) ), Crysis 2 is deferred lighted like GTA, UE3 games are neither what we would call deferred nor forward, it's spherical harmonic based like KZ2. battlefield 3 goes for the (deferred) light indexing/tiling approach. as it's not doable on the RSX it seems, they rather spend their SPUs for it, yet it's the first step towards light indexing, IMO.
Regarding materials, forward is unarguably more flexible -- each object can have unique BRDFs, unique lighting models, and any number of lights. It's just inefficient if you've got lots of small objects (due to shader swapping overhead and bad quad efficiency), or lots of big objects (due to the "which light for which object" calculations being done per-object).
that's the vanilla version, and then the clustered/tiled forward shading comes in ;)
Actually, you mentioned dynamic branches before, but forward rendering doesn't need any; all branches should be able to be determined at compile time. On the other hand, implementing multiple BRDFs in a deferred renderer requires some form of branching (or look-up-tables, which are just as bad).
would explain why most deferred games on console have just one lighting term, even the nano suit in Crysis2 looks like it's missing the anisotropic metal shading of crysis1.
the dynamic branching is needed in first place to skip unneeded light calculations. if you are backfacing, or in shadow, or out of range -> next light. this gives even on my mobile phones a boost if I use a fixed set of lights per drawn object. on DX9 hardware it was skipping pixel, but the general overhead due to this branching compensated for it (was like 10cycles more per shader, 6due to branching and some more as the loop had overhead of storing/restoring registers, validated with FX composer back then.)
Also, tiled-deferred and tiled-forward are implementable on current-gen hardware (even DX9 PC if you're careful), so there's no reason we won't see it soon
As usual, there's no single objectively better pipeline; different games have different requirements, which are more efficiently met with one pipeline or another...
I'm just saying, going for top notch lighting/shading (aka not just radiosity baking into lightmaps and also not just 1light source in the world and cubemap/spherical harmonics for dynamic objects), made all engines go deferred on this generation of consoles. I can't think of any with competitive lighting to dead space, crysis,gta, that would be forward, beside maybe God Of War, but you could clearly identify artifacts of merged lights per vertex if you exceeded some count (I'd guess 3 dynamic lights).

- July 2009: Solar Household Energy, Inc.'s Richard Stolz reports that 400 HotPot solar cookers were provided to victims of the floods that ravaged the southern state of Tabasco in late 2007. "In addition to the devastation caused to homes, the floods knocked out Tabasco's electricity and gas distribution plant. As a result, even after flood waters had receded, many residents had no means of cooking food, particularly when firewood was unavailable." The HotPots were made available by two of Solar Household Energy, Inc.'s partner organizations, the Mexican Fund for the Conservation of Nature, and International Logistics Solutions, which manufactures HotPots in Mexico.

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
NARRATOR: Spend a few minutes looking closely at Dawoud Bey's photographs. What do you notice about these people's expressions? These photographs were inspired by an event that took place in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963, when six African American children and teenagers were killed in acts of racial violence. This event was so horrible that it helped to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination. Bey, who is African American, said that he wanted to engage with this event that happened fifty years ago but that should never be forgotten. In 2012, he asked people from Birmingham to pose for the photographs. The kids you see here are the same age as the kids who were killed in Birmingham. The adults are the age that the kids would have been today, if they had lived. By showing us pairs of older and younger people together, what does Bey want us to think about?

Kidney disease is very common in older adults and strongly contributes to loss of quality of life, but the causes and complications of kidney disease are different in older patients. To meet the specific needs of older adults with kidney disease, we have established a Geriatric Kidney Disease Clinic at the East Ann Arbor Health and Geriatrics Center. The clinic is held on the first Friday of each month and is open to older adults (age 65 years or older) with kidney problems.
In addition to evaluating signs of kidney disease (including proteinuria, rise in serum creatinine, electrolyte abnormalities, difficulty controlling hypertension), we focus on counseling and management of patients with continuously decreasing kidney function who are approaching kidney failure. Together with patients, and their families and caregivers, we help identify the best options for managing their kidney disease. We continue to support the patient through individualized management of complications of kidney failure and preparation for dialysis or transplantation, if needed.
Our team includes nephrologists and social workers that focus on the geriatric aspects of Nephrology. We work closely with our Geriatric colleagues in order to provide individualized care for older patients with kidney disease and decreased kidney function.

Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!
My Photos and Reviews: SSG Toy Guide
My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
Well, it's good to know that there is a useless game to go along with the useless toys. They'll slap the Star Wars logo on anything these days, I guess.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
There seems to be a lot of annoyance about this crossover (not just this site, but several other sites as well). Is it really any different than the M&M's, Transformers, LEGO, Mr. Potato Head, Disney, Muppets, Cars, or any other crossovers? Or is the issue just that there's so much out there already? Is it that the tone isn't serious enough for some fans' liking? I think different games (and other products) can coexist and be meant for different audiences - Angry Birds skews younger and goofier, while things like 1313 or Force Unleashed are meant for more mature, serious audiences; you can like one, both, or neither and keep carrying on. It's not like Lucasfilm or Hasbro are presenting this as the new direction for Star Wars, and it's not taking away from the aspects that you actually like; it's just supposed to be a fun side thing.
All the other crossovers you mentioned (even if they're not all awesome) are with long-established properties that most would consider "iconic." I wouldn't count LEGO as a "crossover" in the same sense as the others. Mr. Potato Head and Transformers are longstanding Hasbro properties, and both have done other crossovers. Disney owns Muppets and Cars, and those are sold only at their parks, IIRC.
I'm not saying Angry Birds isn't cool (I've never bothered to play it, so I don't have an opinion), but it seems an odd choice. On the one hand, they're striking while the iron is hot and people still care to buy zillions of dollars worth of stuff with a cardinal sporting a unibrow--you think Star Wars Guitar Hero would sell gangbusters right now? On the other, Angry Birds doesn't have the longevity (yet, at least), and may never last that long, so this seems sorta akin to making Star Wars Pet Rocks or shirts with Chewbacca demanding to know where the beef is. If SW is merged with something that proves to be a flash in the pan, that cheapens the brand when the other property goes down.
(You could argue that the crossover Furbies were a similar case, but at least those made a little sense.)
That's my jacket!
Yes, there is going to be a SW-themed AB game, it's not just all ridiculous merchandising without a context.
I fear everybody is about to give up on Hasbro SW, it really feels like they're running it into a brick wall over and over right now. And for Clone Wars, that line is essentially dead in my book, they took all the nifty characters and left them out this year, so it's just boring Jedi and repetitive clones. I LIKE the clones, but they need someone to interact with other than each other. I'm still missing Seripas, and so are most fans, but did they re-release him? No, why make money off an expensive mold when you can release NOTHING instead? I can't even THINK of Hasbro SW that I'd want under my tree right now, the MTT does not impress me and it's horribly overpriced even before TRU jacking it up $50, there aren't any figures or vehicles that are findable and the ones that are out aren't tempting. The line has ground to a halt holding its breath for the next thing and the next thing and the next thing, trying to keep putting fans off until it can get itself together again but each time missing the mark.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I'm not necessarily against Angry Birds, since I did enjoy the game for the most part when I played it. I'm simply against this continuous erosion of the Star Wars brand. What's next? Star Wars Minecraft?
I barely tolerated garbage like the Star Wars M&Ms, Transformers, Disney mash-ups, zombies, Muppets, etc. I think this AB thing is simply the straw that broke the camel's back for me. It's never going to end. They're going to continue to slap the Star Wars logo on whatever happens to be trending at the moment and eventually there is going to be nothing of value left for the franchise.
The Hasbro event was entertaining but it was a little disappointing that there was no other SW products. Apparently they are holding back for Toy Fair.

WhiskyFest San Francicso Speaker Iain McCallum
Iain McCallum
Master of Malts
Morrison Bowmore Distillers
Iain McCallum was appointed master of malts in April 2011. This global educational role within the sales & marketing team will see Iain developing Morrison Bowmore's core brands portfolio – Auchentoshan, Bowmore and Glen Garioch through consumer and trade education, tastings, masterclasses and experiential events.
Iain, from Mount Vernon, Glasgow, first joined Morrison Bowmore as a school leaver aged 16. He had been keen to join the Royal Navy, however his father urged him to wait until he was 18 before applying.
Initially employed as a trainee lab technician within the distiller's Springburn head office, Iain quickly became committed to a career in the whisky industry and rose through the ranks.
After qualifying as an organic chemist at 22, his roles included four years as trainee distilleries manager at Auchentoshan, Bowmore and Glen Garioch. This role was hands-on, involving everything from malting and mashing to working the night shift. It was during this period he worked with legendary Bowmore distillery manager Eddie MacAffer and gained a tremendous amount from his expertise.
Iain, whose nose was put to the test early on by industry guru Dr Jim Swan of Pentlands Scotch Whisky Research, scoring highly for smell and taste, was later appointed senior blender for Morrison Bowmore then, in addition, distillery manager at Auchentoshan.
Iain was believed to be Scotland's youngest distillery manager when appointed at 30 years of age – certainly the youngest in Auchentoshan's 185 year history.
In recent years, Iain became more involved with the commercial side of the business, leading to his current appointment as master of malts.

Thanks guys! Not much of an update until I get some stuffs in, but I ordered the paracord and some tools today. As this thing gets moving I'll do my best to log all tools and materials I use as well.
I ordered 200' of red camo nylon 550 paracord and 50' of thin red line nylon 550 paracord from mrparacord. I would've ordered more of the latter but thst's all they had.
I alsi ordered 48 male and 48 female atx pins, some black connectors, ATX pin removal tool, and a Molex crimper from Frozen CPU. When I get more funds I'll order a molex tool as well. Gonna do my best to go heatshrinkless.

New Case!!! This is my third Phantom Full Tower!
I got it in white/red for the red LEDs, since I'll be sandblasting and painting it anyway.
I believe this is revision 3.0 for the Phantom, since it has updated drive bay locks. I believe 2.0 only had a revised fan controller PCB and an added USB 3.0 port, since those were the changes my second Phantom had in camparison to the first.
It even has a new hardware box. Sorry for the bad focus on the first pic.
Here's a pic of my old, jealous Phantom in pieces.
Some of the hardware for this build (before I had to send the mobo back for replacement)
A pic of the capacitor I replaced on my Diamond 7970 (front left)
And a few pics of my Mad Max PSU. Those extensions won't be used in this build; I'm going to sleeve the PSU as well as build new sleeved extensions. The hole on one side is where the wires used to come out when this was in my previous build. For now I just flipped the metal shroud.
And here's what the Paracord colors look like.

Somehow this tab was closed off so I missed it with my updates. So here is a big update lol, sorry.
My overdue holiday update:
I hope everyone that celebrates had a great Christmas; over the last few days I got my sleeving stuff in and got some stuff done!
Here's a shot of all the stuff I got in.
I wasted no time building the first cable extension, a 6 pin PCIE.
I later found this approach rather troublesome, as for some reason the male pins kept getting stuck in the plug. So now I'm building the female end of the plug and sleeving the wires before I start the male end, so I don't waste more pins. But I managed the first cable.
After boring out the connectors with a box knife on the first extension, I decided that took too long and didn't have the cleanest finish, so I opted for my trusty $35 35k RPM rotary tool from Harbor Freight for the rest of them.
Quick an easy.
And here's the other tools I used.
FrozenCPU crimper
Walmart Wire tool
wire cutters
box knives
FrozenCPU atx pin removal tool
electrical tape
Today I managed finishing the business end of the 8 pin PCIE as well. But I'm tired and burnt out already for the day at sleeving.
Another update.
First I took out the 3.5" drives so I could do some test fitting.
Unfortunately, the front fan mount protrudes to far inward, moving my PSU back too far. To remedy this, I will cut off the fan mounts and weld them back on flush with the front. There is still plenty of room for a 25mm wide 140mm fan up front.
Just another day, working on a power supply...
And here's the finished result. If I had the pns and connectors to make the SATA cable detatchable, I would have made a multi SATA extension and left tha cable short. I like short cables for less clutter, and I also decided against sleeving the wires that aren't seen in the build. Too much work when there's so much more to be done for the rest of the build.
Now we're getting somewhere... No plastic on the case (except for the feet that I forgot to take off before the pic).
Oh snap! Dissassembly complete!
ALL RIVETS MUST DIE. (drilled these out with a power drill btw )
Too bad these won't fit in my build. They were awesome in the last one.
I also have a 25lb box of crushed walnut shells to blast the case. I hope to sandblast the case this week and maybe even start cutting.
Sorry for the lack of updates; things are moving slow since I now have another co-project, a model of a '56 Ford F-100 that I'm modding with '07 GT500 running drivetrain and misc parts, as well as some crazy stuff. It's brushing up on my plastic skills so it ties in. Speaking of which, I cut down the front panel today! I needed to do this first to find out how much I can cut the height of the case itself. I can't cut the top panel yet though because the length change is dependant on clearance inside the case, which I still need to do.
Here it is after I cut it down. I used my rotary tool for the preliminary cuts, then a box blade for the closer cuts, and finally sandpaper to fine tune it before I glued it together. You can see the significant height difference. It's 5.125" shorter.
Here it is with glue on it, tape to hold it in place while the glue dries.

Sorry there hasn't been an update more recently, but there have been some good developments! The front panel glue together nicely, has been sanded, and is almost ready for paint, unless I decide to mod it more.... I've mapped out almost all my cuts on the case pieces, and it should be ready soon to start cutting. I also picked up a Sponsor, but I'm waiting here back from him on his company or dba name so I can put it on the front page. I also have a couple friends that are going to send me some undisclosed parts that will really set this build off. For now I must bid you adieu. Off to mod!

Hey guys! There's been some heavy modifications to the plan, although it's still pretty much the same. A lot of exciting stuff is gonna go down, but it requires that I wait for the stuff to get here in a couple weeks. So other than finishing my sleeved extensions, there's not much I can do on this at the moment. That's all I'll say about it for now. So hang tight, bear with me and let your imagination run wild on what it might be!

As a newbie here I've a question about how you sleeved the cables with Paracord. It looks like you enlarged the holes at the rear of the connectors so that the Paracord will fit into the back of the connector. Do you also use heat shrink to finish it off, or is it completed by essentially stuffing the Paracord into the oversized hole in the connector? And if it's the latter, do you need to glue the Paracord so that it doesn't move, or is it a snug fit?

I picked up a weekend job, so I don't much of an update. But I do have a teaser of something a good friend is making for me. Mind you, this guy doesn't do these things commercially, and has no interest to do so. So if you know who it is, be kind enough not to bring it up
Choncho, sometimes, when you're a grown man, you tear up brand new stuff... Just for fun...
I decided on some new memory instead of the Avexirs and Dominators I had. I just ordered a quad channel set of 4x4 GB 2400 MHz Gskill Trident X DIMMs. These will perform much better than the 1600 MHz Avexirs I had, and look sweet as well. I didn't want LED RAM for this build because I'll be using the NZXT HUE unit from the Phantom 820, and want be able to change the lighting color without discrepencies .
Also, I decided to run the new Swiftech H220 CLC instead of the Apogee Drive 2. I have the unit in my possession and it is lovely. I plan to run benchmark/temp tests with it cooling just the 3820 on the solo 240 rad, with my 3820 and 7970 with Komodo block in the loop with just the 240 rad, and with both the CPU and GPU in the loop with the 240 rad and an additional 360 rad (MCR320-QP).
Here's a photo of my H220 with push/pull Helix 120 fans. Also note that I'm using the larger thumbscrews from the Apogee Drive 2. Functionaly they are identical, but the larger ones look better IMO.

Guess what I did today
And the door in its final form before paint, being sent to me now
Also I ordered the material to make my new motherboard tray. What is it you ask?
DIAMOND PLATE. I'll have to grind down all the diamonds under the mobo to ensure no shorting out occurs, but the end look will be worth it

Hey all:
Heading down to Nashville tomorrow. Can't wait to catch the Head-to-Head and Grand Nationals Senior Division Finals. Who do you think will win this year? Will it be a Matt Van Cise repeat, or will another heavyweight — Shane Hendershot, Chris Parrish or Scott Ellis, maybe — take the crown? No matter who wins, we'll have results up on the site Saturday!

By PR I specifically mean the treat-based clicker training. NR I'm referring specifically to the use of prong and/or shock collars. I know this is a fairly polarizing subject, but I'm hoping for some objective advice.
Our situation is that our retriever will not be a hunting dog, but we do want him trained well and would like to do CD and UD trials as a way to give us goals and structure to his training. We have a trainer in town that is fairly well recognized, using prong collars and such for NR type training. After our first session with her she just has us working on walking him with the prong collar.
Now, people close to me have taught me this type of training is inhumane, and can be especially dangerous to both the dog's mental and physical health. So, I'm a bit worried about continuing on with this training. But, on the other hand, it is undoubtedly effective, and I'm curious to know if this stigma is due to people misusing such devices or can NR, even when taught properly, really 'ruin the dog', instill trust issues, etc?
Is PR just as effective for basic obedience? I mean if they are both effective, and especially if I don't need a rock solid fetch, is there any reason to choose NR over PR?

Family: Betulaceae, Birch view all from this family
Description Betula alleghaniensis (Yellow Birch), is native to eastern North America, from Newfoundland to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, southern Quebec and Ontario, and the southeast corner of Manitoba in Canada, west to Minnesota, and south in the Appalachian Mountains to northern Georgia.
It is a medium-sized deciduous tree reaching 20 m tall (exceptionally to 30 m) with a trunk up to 80 cm diameter. The bark is smooth, yellow-bronze, flaking in fine horizontal strips, and often with small black marks and scars. The twigs, when scraped, have a slight scent of oil of wintergreen, though not as strongly so as the related Sweet Birch. The leaves are alternate, ovate, 6-12 cm long and 4-9 cm broad, with a finely serrated margin. The flowers are wind-pollinated catkins 3-6 cm long, the male catkins pendulous, the female catkins erect. The fruit, mature in fall, is composed of numerous tiny winged seeds packed between the catkin bracts.
Betula alleghaniensis is the provincial tree of Quebec.
The name "yellow birch" reflects the color of the tree's bark. Most wood sold as birch in North America is from this tree. Several species of Lepidoptera use the species as a food plant for their caterpillars.
Habitat Canyons & valleys, Mountains.
Range Southeast, New England, Great Lakes, Plains, Mid-Atlantic, Eastern Canada.

By Lena Mitchell/NEMS Daily Journal Corinth Bureau
What are they thinking? The U.S. Senate's passage this week of the Violence Against Women Act, with 22 dissenting votes, makes me wonder how the mere presence of women in their lives – mothers, wives, sisters, daughters – didn't prompt those 22 male senators to support this important law.
These senators may disagree with some provisions of this reauthorization of a law that has been in place since 1994, but aren't laws amended all the time? Reauthorizations of the law in 2000 and 2005 added language, protections and funding that advocates say have helped tens of thousands of victims.
Nothing was done during the last congressional session, but we need to make our support so strong that this session cannot end without Congress reauthorizing this bill.
By treating domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking as domestic matters and not recognizing them as crimes until 1994, U.S. laws in essence said that women and girls didn't matter.
While a lot has changed in awareness of these issues, some of the woeful ignorance of many of our male legislators was clearly exposed in last year's elections. These are people who make life-changing decisions for millions of Americans, yet their (mis)information sounded like myths exchanged by uninformed teenage boys in school locker rooms.
The month of February holds a particular focus in the violence against women conversation.
Recently representatives of S.A.F.E. Inc., a shelter in Tupelo serving victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in north Mississippi, asked local officials to designate February as Teen Dating Violence Prevention and Awareness Month.
Awareness of teen dating abuse was highlighted in the 2005 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, and in 2010 Congress designated February as the month to focus attention on the issue.
Last week on Valentine's Day – a day to celebrate love – V-Day celebrated its 15th anniversary with an even more ambitious campaign to end violence against women and girls, One Billion Rising.
The statistics show that one out of three women worldwide will experience violence in her lifetime, or one billion women. On Feb. 14, one billion women and girls around the world, and the people who love them, were encouraged to walk out, dance, rise up and demand an end to the violence against them.
The founder of the global V-Day movement to end violence against women and girls is Eve Ensler, playwright of the award-winning "The Vagina Monologues." She also has written a poem called "Over It" that, were it not for the rawness of some of the language, could have taken up the entire space in my column today.
These are a few of the issues Ensler mentioned in her poem, and more, that highlight some of the reasons everyone should support, advocate for and protect women and girls in their lives from violence in every form.
• Demonstrated social acceptance of violence against women that makes people unashamed to put up rape pages on FaceBook and sign their real names, claiming it's free speech and calling it a joke.
• Rape in the military documented by filmmaker Kirby Dick in "The Invisible War," which used Defense Department statistics that show more than 20 percent of women in the military have reported a sexual assault.
• The family of Pennsylvania State University's former football coach Joe Paterno objecting to treatment and the loss of his positive reputation, even though Paterno did nothing to protect children he knew were being molested by a pedophile.
• An assassination attempt on the life of 15-year-old Malala Yousafzai, a girl in Pakistan who was fighting for an education for herself and other girls who are not allowed to go to school under Taliban rule.
• The public beating, gang rape and murder in India of a 23-year-old student as she rode a bus home.
With men in charge of so many of the institutions that control our lives, Ensler issued a direct challenge in "Over It."
"You live with us, make love with us, father us, befriend us, brother us, get nurtured and mothered and eternally supported by us, so why aren't you standing with us? Why aren't you driven to the point of madness and action by the rape and humiliation of us?"
Each of us can act each and every day.

http://offthebench.nbcsports.com/201...games/related/O More than half of all Americans believe that God rewards athletes who have faith in Him, according to a recent poll by the Public Religion Research Institute, and isnt that what Tim Tebow has been telling us all along?
That number is 53 percent, and isnt really that shocking. But this one is, at least to me: according to the poll, 27 percent of Americans believe that God actually plays a role in determining which team wins a sporting event. Yes, God is waving that ball fair or foul, like an omnipotent Carlton Fisk. Or to put it another way, God spends all day playing Madden NFL 12 with real players.
Which means that David Akers must have really done something wrong in his life recently. God seems to be steamed at him.
The poll, conducted on Jan. 16, consisted of random telephone interviews with 1,033 subjects.
The percentage jumps even higher if youre a white evangelical Protestant from the South.
Roughly 4-in-10 minority Christians (40%) and white evangelical Protestants (38%) agree that God does play a role in the outcome of a sporting event, compared to less than 3-in-10 (29%) Catholics, less than 1-in-5 (19%) white mainline Protestants, and approximately 1-in-10 (12%) religiously unaffiliated Americans.
More than one-third (36%) of Americans who live in the South agree that God plays a role in determining which team wins a sporting event, compared to nearly 3-in-10 (28%) Americans who live in the Midwest, 1-in-5 (20%) Americans who live in the Northeast, and 15% of Americans who live in the West.

I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can. Please email photo's to: email@example.com My web site is at: http://www.coinslots.com
I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
C.O.C.A. and other slot and coin operated machine groups, associations, groups, and clubs.
Many, the Coinslot magazine, always juken, Coin Slot Journal, Slot Box Collector, and others that I dont remember at this time.
Graduated from Ballard High School in 1969, went to Edison Technical Collage for a couple of years taking welding and metal fabrication, tig, mig, heliarc, also arc and gas welding and fabrication. Then Apprenticed under a slot machine technician who worked in the slot machine industry Reno Nevada, and set up bar poker progressive machines in the casino's, and repaired machine and did the repairs on slot machine circuit boards there. He also was involved in the 2 hand dealer's market and bought and sold machines at the casinos auctions for the secondary market, which includes selling used machine overseas. I learned a ton from this man; he always had the correct answers and took the time to teach me the business. My interest and knowledge in other and older coin operated machine is for the most part, self-taught. It's been my passion from back in 1968 and before, my thirst for knowledge about these machines has kept me more interested over the years, and keeps me searching for more information even today. I have meet and talked to book authors on these machines, attended hundreds of coin operated shows and auctions, and I stay with that to this very day.

Take a look at my allexperts rating, and my guest book, links to these are at http://www.coinslots.com Also you can check my 100 percent rating on ebay, as I have been there with ebay from their day one, I am user coinslots at ebay. My other awards come from the very people that I deal with, I always make them happy, no matter what it takes, but they always are happy anyway as the countless thank you letters testify to me, so I know I am doing right, and the best I can.

The 10 Greatest Muay Thai Fighters According To Me: 4-3
- Written by Dave Walsh
4 Dieselnoi Chor Thunasukarn: "The sky piercing knee kicker" (Why is it that Asians come up with awesome nicknames, and none of this Assassin crap?) is my favorite fighter of all time. Without any doubt whatsoever I believe he was the most dominant clinch fighter in the history of Muay Thai. At 6'3 and and only 140 pounds he was a scary and freakish looking man. He was the 1982 fighter of the year, and held Lumpinee's 140 pounds title for 4 years straight without losing. In that same year he fought Samart Payakaroon who was looking to win back-to-back fighter of the year awards, but it was the much bigger Dieselnoi who came out on top. It was quite possibly the biggest fight in Muay Thai history, yet very few people have seen the fight. Its nowhere to be found on the internet, and collectors and historians in Thailand are said to have the fight, but will only sale for a very high price. After he dueled Samart it was tough for him to get any fights, and it was months later until someone stepped up to the plate on fought him. He too got the knee treatment. After fighting infrequently over the next 2 years he decided to retire because there were no more challengers for him. I can't blame his opponents, just watching Dieselnoi work the pads makes me hurt.
Dieselnoi on the pads:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8dIsPTWyic
Dieselnoi vs. Johm Moncayo:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAxcPE_0eXw
3 Saenchai Sinbimuaythai: Saenchai now goes by Sinbimuaythai as he recently left 13 coins, and took up the Sinbimuaythai gym name as most fighters do. Saenchai is the epitome of consistency. He won fighter of the year back in 1999, and then again in 2008, and is still the best fighter in Thailand. Saenchai's style is completely different from any other fighter. When watching him its just a weird experience. He seems to do things nobody else can do with little effort. In recent years he's generally been the smaller fighter in the majority of his fights, yet he still seems to be stronger than everybody else. The only times he's really given a tough match are when he fights tall clinch fighters like Petchboonchu F.A Group, and Saketdao Petchpaithai. However back in 2009 he fought both of those men over the course of 1 fight. He fought Petchboonchu for the first 3 rounds, and Saketdao for the final 2 rounds and still won the fight. And its not like Petch, or Saketdao are chumps, they have both been major champions, and have beaten Saenchai before. Dubbed the "king of the rematch" Saenchai lost in 2007 to Orono Vor Petchpun, and just a few months later when they fought again Saenchai made the right adjustments and made a great fighter look foolish. He's knocked out Nong-O Sit Or twice, who imo is a top 25 fighter of all time, and he's beaten a slew of other great fighters. If he continues to be so consistent and smart he could move higher up on this list.

Even a view of Gamla from the observation platform at the top of the trail is thrilling. You can clearly see the walls, the actual tower Josephus says the Romans undermined by pulling out the bottom stones, and the synagogue, one of the oldest ever found. Archaeologists discovered not only these architectural remains, but many other artifacts: the picks the Romans used to climb the walls, thousands of missile stones and arrowheads, as well as coins minted by the rebels stamped "For the salvation of Holy Jerusalem."
Good walkers will enjoy the fairly steep trail to the antiquities (about one hour down and, of course, longer coming back up). Quotes from Josephus' account are inscribed on boulders along the trail. At the site itself you'll get a closer look at the massive round tower, and the synagogue that was the heart and soul of the town that occupied these slopes two millennia ago. The trail also leads to the industrial zone of the community – its olive presses – which have been reconstructed to show visitors how they worked and help reveal elements of the daily life of this vibrant and prosperous community.
A short walk from the parking lot leads to the observatory built by the Israel Nature and Parks Authority next to Byzantine ruins. Here visitors and bird watchers can enjoy the sight of the Griffon vultures for which Gamla is famous, as they effortlessly catch the updrafts from the cliffs where they nest. From here you can also see the 150-foot high Gamla waterfall, to which another trail leads. A brochure in English showing all the trails comes with your entrance ticket; the rangers are happy to give advice on the best way to see the site.
To complement your experience, visit the archaeological museum at nearby Katzrin, which features a dramatic audio-visual presentation about Gamla among its displays.

Emblica Fruit (Phyllanthus emblica L.) is commonly known as Amla, Emblika, Aonla, Mirobalano, Emblic, Emblic mirobalan, or Indian gooseberry. Originating in the tropical areas of parts of India and Southeast Asia, the Emblica tree is relatively small to moderate in size, growing delicate looking leaves that appear almost lacy in texture. It produces a fruit that is bitter to the taste and contains high levels of vitamin C. The tree trunk of the Emblica fruit is usually crooked, while featuring a profusion of spreading branches. Blossoms are yellowish-green in coloring and the fruit itself is pale yellow in color. The fruit contains lupeol, emblicanin A and B, gibberellins, punigluconin, pedunculaginn, and glucoside, and offers a bitter taste, but it has been said that drinking water afterward creates a sweet taste in the mouth.
In Sanskrit, Emblica fruit is known as Amalaki. This word translates to the phrase, "the fruit where the goddess of prosperity presides." In India, the tree has been worshiped for its nourishing nature since ancient times. It has been said to symbolize Earth Mother" and to nourish mankind.
Emblica Fruit has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries for the purposes of promoting a disease-free

Poor memory. Inability to concentrate. Weight gain. High blood pressure. Dark circles and pallid skin. Mood swings. Relationship troubles. Learning disabilities.
\Want to know one way to avoid, or at least diminish, these undesirable outcomes? You've heard it before and you'll hear it again: Get. More. Sleep. Or at least try to get the National Sleep Foundation's recommended seven to nine hours per night.
We know, we know, it's nigh impossible to get that much shut-eye, what with all the studying and partying and working and Netflix-ing that needs to get done in a 24-hour period. But the risks of sleep deprivation are serious and real, especially for hard-working (and hard-living) students.
According to Martine Eon, a polysomnographic technologist at Maine Medical Center's Sleep Institute on Congress Street, the link between lack of sleep and high-cost medical and cognitive issues is becoming increasingly apparent. The eight beds at the Sleep Institute, where technicians monitor patients' sleep using a variety of instruments (including 32 wire attachments that gauge everything from heart rate to eye movements), are almost always full, Eon says.
"Deep sleep restores the body," she says, noting that the five stages of sleep help us heal both physically and mentally from the demands of the day. During Stages 3 and 4 (known as "slow-wave" or "delta" sleep), for example, tissues grow and repair themselves, blood pressure drops, and energy is restored. During Stage 5 (Rapid Eye Movement, or REM sleep), our memories solidify and our brains recharge.
Sleep disorders that disrupt this cycle, such as sleep apnea or even just build-up of a "sleep debt," can impair metabolism, lead to daytime sleepiness (and therefore decreased motivation to exercise), and alter hormone levels — all of which lead to weight gain and in some cases obesity or diabetes.
Researchers have also found that sleep deprivation leads to slower thinking and sluggish reaction times — which bodes poorly for a pop-quiz-taker.
For better sleep, we need better sleep hygiene, Eon says. Our bedrooms should be cool, dark, and clean, with no blinking and buzzing electronics (put your cell phone on silent before you turn off the light). No more falling asleep to the TV — even with our eyes closed, "the flickers of light are enough to stimulate your brain," she says. Exercising less than three hours before bedtime isn't ideal, due to the resulting spike in body temperature. And we're sorry to report that alcohol, which may make you sleepy at first, "becomes a stimulant when you go to sleep."
What about napping, the secret of busy people everywhere?
"If you're getting quality sleep and sleeping as much as you should, you shouldn't need to nap," Eon says, though she admits that a 20- to 30-minute catnap shouldn't hurt anyone. "Longer than that and you risk going into deep sleep," which in turn will make you more disoriented upon waking.
And people should try to maintain the same sleep and wake times every day — no more snoozing until noon on Saturdays.
Along those lines, smart students should rethink the all-nighter. Studies out of the University of California Los Angeles and the Harris Health Sleep Disorders Center in Houston show that quality rest is actually more important than late-night studying.
"Any prolonged sleep deprivation will affect your mood, energy level, and ability to focus, concentrate and learn, which directly affects your academic performance," Philip Alapat, medical director of the Harris Center, explained in a release. "Memory recall and ability to maintain concentration are much improved when an individual is rested."
