Having announced that the Tiwai Point aluminium smelter most likely has about another five years to live, Prime Minister John Key tried to put a positive spin on it.
Over the long run an orderly exit of the smelter would mean that the power it consumes could be used by new ventures, he said.
Or it would allow less productive generating assets to be closed down.
Or we would need to build less generation.
It sounded like the regurgitation of a briefing from officials trained to think in the airy abstractions of economists, about "resources flowing" to new and more valuable uses, about "creative destruction".
In practice, a lot of the resources are likely to take the plane to Brisbane or Perth.
Apart from its highly skilled workforce, the other big resource employed in the smelter is the power that flows down to it from Fiordland.
If the release of all that cheap electricity from Manapouri enabled the revitalisation of the pulp and paper sector, say, so that some value was added to logs we export raw, that would be one thing.
But we seem to be incapable of getting our national act together for projects like that.
And it's hard to see the need to build less generation as an unalloyed good.
One official told me that, if freed of the need to spend money on new generation projects, the state-owned power companies up for sale would just "throw off cash for years". The image of a sodden shaggy dog came to mind.
But in that case, why sell them?
And surely there is a risk that if there is a long delay before new generation needs to be built we will lose the people who know how to build it. How secure is Mighty River's vaunted expertise in geothermal if all the opportunities are overseas?
There seems to be a widespread assumption that the closure of the smelter would be hard on Southland but good news for the rest of us by way of cheaper power.
And that would mean lower profits for the power companies and less money for the Government when they are floated.
But that narrative rests on a simplistic view of electricity sector.
This is no ordinary commodity. It is not like a glut of apricots, driving down the price.
What there would be a surplus of is generating capacity, not electricity itself.
Some surplus capacity is normal and desirable. The system needs a security margin to cope with dry years, like this one.
But not as much of a surplus as would arise from a 14 per cent contraction on the demand side and no change on the supply side.
So when people like the Prime Minister talk of an orderly transition to a post-smelter environment, they are talking about the scrapping, or mothballing, of more expensive generating capacity.
Genesis Energy's four coal-fired turbines at Huntly are obvious candidates. That process is already under way and its acceleration is now on the cards.
But even with all its units operational Huntly's coal-fired plant in recent years has only been generating the equivalent of about 40 per cent of the smelter's load.
More supply-side contraction than that would be needed.
Which is why the eyes of analysts, and the power companies' in-house modellers, swivel towards gas-fired plants, most of which belong to Contact Energy or Genesis.
If Manapouri's power flows north instead of south, that will reduce the average cost of generating the power you and I consume.
But in the wholesale electricity market it is the marginal cost, and not the average cost, that matters.
In any given half-hour it is the most expensive generation that needs to run in order to ensure that all the demand is met which sets the spot price which all the generators dispatched receive.
So a key question is how much less of the time would one of the combined cycle gas turbine plants - Contact's Taranaki and Otahuhu B plants and Genesis's e3p at Huntly - be the marginal generator that sets the price.
And what would the volumes going through the market at those times be?
Faced with the prospect that these plants will run less, both companies might take the view that they need to recoup their fixed costs over a smaller volume and therefore offer that power to the market at a higher price.
And as Meridian would be a net seller of power on the wholesale market it would also have an interest in keeping prices there as high as possible.
This does not sound like a recipe for lower prices for consumers.
Alternatively we could see a period of cut-throat competition at both the wholesale and retail levels, as the companies fight for a bigger slice of a smaller pie.
It is that sort of uncertainty the institutional investors who will set the price for Mighty River shares, and those that follow, will have to factor in.
The Manapouri power station is an asset of national importance and an impressive piece of engineering.
Rain that falls in Fiordland - and usually there is a lot of it - flows first into Lake Te Anau and thence into Lake Manapouri. It used to then flow down the Waiau River to Foveaux Strait, but most of it now drops in one go to sea level at Deep Cove via turbines in the middle of a mountain.
The smelter was built, more than 40 years ago, to provide a use for that power.
"We used to say it was a way of exporting water," a senior industry figure told me. "Now it's a way of exporting gas."
His point was about the opportunity cost to the country of the smelter's pre-empting Manapouri's output, including the need to convert one premium form of energy, natural gas, into another, electricity, using up about half of it in the conversion process.
The smelter's closure will leave a large hole in the country's external accounts.
In the year to June last year it turned $280 million worth of imported alumina into $1.14 billion of exported aluminium. It also has to import petroleum pitch to make carbon anodes, but it is hard to see its imported inputs offsetting more than 40c in the dollar of its export income.
This is not an argument for a long-term subsidy for the smelter.
But it is essential now that the valuable resource freed up by its closure be used in ways that help the country earn its living as a trading nation, and not frittered away making it marginally cheaper to run the dishwashers and neon lights of Auckland.

Proposal No. 3
After 3. Amateur Definition (d.) as written add the following paragraph:
A Field Trial Committees determination rejecting a persons Amateur All-Age entry for lack of Amateur status made solely on its own volition shall not affect that persons Amateur status for any future trials.
So that Paragraph 3 (d.) in its entirety will read:
(d.) The determination of amateur status under these directives for the purpose of any particular field trial shall be made by the field Trial Committee for that trial.
A Field Trial Committees determination rejecting a persons Amateur All-Age entry for lack of Amateur status made solely on its own volition shall not affect that persons Amateur status for any future trials.
Further Discussion of 3.(d.)
A persons Amateur status may also be questioned by a person filing a protest under chapter 10, Section 1 stating the dogs ineligibility to run in the Amateur stake due to the handlers lack of Amateur status. If a protest is filed it precipitates a field trial committee misconduct hearing, with a full report of the proceedings sent to the AKC. The individual that is found to be a professional by a Field Trial Committee under these circumstances will remain a professional unless he appeals the decision to the AKC and secures a reversal, or fulfills the requirements outlined in paragraphs 3 (a.) and (b.)
CONCERN Layout Blinds
At our meetings we have encouraged discussion about the use of layout blinds. When a straw vote has been called the results have been about equal yes and no; however, the reasons not to use these blinds seem much more compelling to the Committee than the ability to hide a bird thrower. The chances of both dogs and bird boys sustaining a serious injury when lying in these blinds is real. The temperature turning hot puts the bird boy at high risk, as well as a dog stepping on the blind being a physical danger to both the dog and the layout blind occupant.
There are a variety of camouflages designed for grass lands put out by sporting goods stores that could be used to conceal bird throwers in these situations.
Proposal No. 4 Layout Blinds
Under STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR NON-SLIP RETRIEVER TRIALS, No. 8, 3rd paragraph, (page 28) after the sentence ending the distinctive shape of the blind insert the following: and in no event shall gunners or throwers be instructed to lay down on the ground in layout blinds or like configurations for hiding purposes.
So that No. 8, 3rd paragraph in its entirety will read:
Retired Guns, throwers and blind planters should be concealed by a blind that provides complete coverage, adequate space, and natural camouflage to conceal the distinctive shape of the blind and in no event shall gunners or throwers be instructed to lay down on the ground in layout blinds or like configurations for hiding purposes. The blind must be so located as to minimize the development of a trail that will lead the running dog away from the area of the fall. In no circumstances should the judges have the guns move to another position to mislead dogs in their marking. No blinds shall be placed in the field in a marking test except in accordance with the provisions set forth in this paragraph or for the purpose of protecting the running dogs from injury by unseen hazards.
Excessive waits in minor stakes.
It has come to the subcommittees attention that the minor stakes are being shut down on a more frequent basis and for extended periods of time while they await dogs and handlers from the major stakes. Usually, this delay is caused by the major stakes marshal and/or judges insistence that their dogs run in order. That and the major stake handlers staying put with no one directing them to proceed to a shut down or soon to be shut down minor stake.
The above situations can be largely avoided under the existing rules by the Field Trial Marshal acting pursuant to Section 4(a) of Chapter 14 of the Retriever Rules (Page 18 in the Rule Book). This provision gives the Field Trial Marshal the authority to overrule the major stake judges and marshal whenever a change in the running order will affect two or more stakes. The Field Trial Marshal is tasked with communicating between the stakes. When he thus sees a looming delay in a minor stake he should step in and direct the needed minor stake handlers to leave the major stake and proceed to the affected minor stake despite this changing the running order in the major stake.
The subcommittee hopes that awareness of and application of these provisions of the Rule Book will substantially reduce most of the minor stake delays now being experienced.

For what I believe to be my 200th post, I wanted to address an aspect of Episode I that bothered me even more than some of Jar Jar's antics. This thread is, of course, inspired by the news of the additional scenes worked up for the upcoming DVD release. Many of these scenes appear to focus on the Pod Races and even some of the previously unseen pilots. This brought the issue of how many of these pilots looked on screen to mind. When I saw TPM the first few times (we went four times on opening day), I honestly thought that many of the pilots were cheesy hand puppets. Several "death scenes" show close ups of pilots like Ratts Tyrell and look almost like cheap muppets. I thought some of the puppetry in Jedi was substandard!
Then the bigger blow came! I found out that even these "puppets" were, like Jar Jar, computer generated! What is sad is that they can almost seamlessly insert Jar Jar into the live action sequences, yet when it came to the pod pilots, a few looked like bad hand puppets with stumpy, inarticulate arms and minimal movement. Did anyone else get this impression?

United Glory Make-Up Date: March 19, 2011
- Written by Dave Walsh
Just a few days ago Golden Glory announced that the United Glory Tournament's second round show, which was set to take place on January 30th was postponed, mainly due to Gokhan Saki's hand injury. Saki was one of the top-billed fighters on the card and had to bow out due to the injuries he sustained during the K-1 World Grand Prix. The second round of the tournament was set for the 30th in Charleroi, Belgium, but has now seemingly been pushed back to March 19th.
This hopefully gives time for Saki as well as John Alessio, who was also injured heading into the January 30th event, time to fully recover and appear on the March 19th show.
The MMA Welterweight tournament brackets are as follows:
John Alessio vs. Siyar Bahudurzada
Tommy Depret vs. Roan Carneiro
The Kickboxing Heavyweight tournament is as follows:
Gokhan Saki vs. Wendel Roche
Brice Guidon vs. Mourad Bouzidi

Report: Apple to Produce 10 Million iPad Minis in Q4 2012
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
This shows that Apple has plenty of confidence in its new addition to the iPad family despite the fact that the market is already flooded with 7-inch tablets
iPad Mini
hasn't even been announced yet, but Apple is already planning to make over 10 million of them in the fourth quarter of this year.
Ten million iPad Minis is almost double the number of Amazon Kindle Fires that were made during Q4 2011 -- and the Fire was the hottest holiday item last year. This shows that Apple has plenty of confidence in its new addition to the iPad family despite the fact that the market is already flooded with 7-inch tablets.
Apple is still the big player in the tablet market with its 9.7-inch iPad, but the tech giant has noticed a new trend that is grabbing customers' attention --
smaller, cheaper tablets
Companies like Amazon, ASUS and Samsung have turned the tablet world upside down with the idea of smaller tablets that are more affordable, but also have strong features. Amazon led the pack with its 7-inch Kindle Fire tablet last year for $199. Samsung's Galaxy Tabs have 7-inch versions in the mix, and more recently, Google teamed up with ASUS for the
7-inch Nexus 7 tablet
for $199.

As if that wasn't enough, Amazon jumped back into the small tablet market with a
refreshed 7-inch Kindle Fire HD for $199
, an 8.9-inch Fire HD for $299 and a 4G LTE HD model for $499. On top of that, the e-tailer is offering a generous data package with its tablets for only $49.99 per year.
It's clear that the smaller tablet market is quite competitive, and it's what customers want. In Q2 2010, Apple had 84 percent of the worldwide tablet market share. In Q2 2012, this number dropped to 69.6 percent, further showing that competitors like Android-powered tablets are cutting in.
Of course, Apple wants a piece of that pie and is looking to hold onto its tablet dominance. Doing so means the release of an iPad Mini, which is rumored to be a 7.85-inch version of the usual 9.7-inch iPad.

Apple is expected to announce the iPad Mini later this month. Last week, Apple's Asian component suppliers
started production of the iPad Mini
, and the tech giant is looking to make about 10 million in Q4 2012 for the holiday season. However, the iPad Mini's success will be largely based on its affordability and features, which have yet to be disclosed.

I have more insight into the lambda definition yesterday. I believe that the definition of (lambda x x) is correct - it should be equivalent to the identity relation defined in Metamath. However, it is quite definitely a class and not a set. As a result, trying to use it as a function argument just yields the empty set.
This is probably a reasonable way out of the logic thicket. The problem is that the untyped lambda calculus is subject to the Russell set paradox.
I was talking about this with Bram, and he called ZF set theory a "hack." I more or less agree, but playing with it in the context of Metamath has led me to appreciate how powerful a hack it is. With a small number of relatively simple axioms, it gets you a rich set of infinities, but avoids the particular ones that bring the whole formal system crumbling down. You get integers, reals, tuples, sequences (finite and infinite), transfinites, and functions from set to set. You don't get untyped lambda calculus. Overall, it's probably a good tradeoff.

I'm new here but I've been lurking around for awhile. Recently I have been thinking about the current state of the MMO industry and I'm interested to see how you guys feel about the direction it's headed. My intentions are not to create a new MMO, I'm not delusional, I understand that such a game can easily take upwards of $100 million and even if completed it still has a high risk of failure. Not to mention that I have never launched a game nor developed one, I'm an experienced programmer of 7 years mostly working on distributed systems and large scale public APIs.
This post isn't about me, it's about MMOs and some lifecycle observations that I've made in my time playing MMOs. The examples I'm going to use will be taken from both Everquest and World of Warcraft. I believe there are other MMOs that could be included in these examples; however, I'm going to stick to the two that I've played when the game was first launched. Maybe some of this analysis applies to other games as well. I think all games evolve and change rules over time, decisions are made primarily based on the number of players and their current progression in the game.
I believe this is one of the more critical parts to a successful MMOs and I think the social changes as the game evolves have been rather drastic. There have been many well polished MMOs that are very similar to WoW. Many of those MMOs have great potential and some of them may even be better than WoW. So you might be asking, why are these games not successful? Why would anyone play WoW when there are other games with better game play or more interesting content? The core reason is the social bonds formed while playing the game. The majority of people who play MMOs are already in a guild or have a lot of friends. They enjoy logging on and playing with their friends and socializing, they don't want to change games. Does this mean that all future games don't stand a fighting chance? No, not necessarily, I think if done correctly there's no reason more games couldn't succeed. If I believe its possible then why are almost all of these copycats of WoW failing? I think it's because they look at where WoW is today and not where it was at launch. Now that WoW has the critical mass they don't need to force the social bonds on people. Many of the newer games seem to try and skip the beginning of this social evolution and jump straight to the end. I think this is the wrong way to go about launching a game, let me give you some examples.
Social Evolution in Everquest
When this game launched it was very difficult to do anything alone. I remember dying repeatedly at level 3-4 trying to kill an NPC the same level as me. Especially if the class I had chosen was a healer or enchanter. As the levels got higher around level 15 - 30 almost every form of leveling required a group to get good experience. Sure if you wanted you could go out alone but for the majority of classes this method just wasn't very effective. Having a close group of friends and or being a part of a guild was almost required to reach the max level. You also needed help from friends in many other ways, each class has special benefits to people and this helped form friendships and increase the social aspect of the game. If you died down in some dungeon somewhere you almost always needed help from someone to recover the corpse. If you wanted to move to the other side of the world you needed a wizard or druid. I can go on forever with this list but I'll stop here since I think I've made my point, when the game started people were forced to be more social it was difficult to play alone.
With so many high level characters in the game there were less people to group with at lower levels and as a result the rules had to be changed. Leveling up alone had to be easier for new players. Everquest realized this and they started making it easier to level up alone, they made it easier to transport without using a wizard or druid. Buffs that help the leveling progress had increased duration and were easily accessible even if you didn't have a friend with the buff. You could just run to town once every 2 hours and get a refresh and some could even be purchased as potions. This seems like the right thing to do but what happens to all the new people to the game? How do they meet friends? It use to be easy to meet friends and find a group but now it's difficult and new people get bored playing alone.
Social Evolution in WoW
WoW also had a similar evolution throughout the game. At launch WoW's quest system enabled people to level up and play the game without ever grouping with another player. To supplement their quests WoW had a dungeon system that required a group. The motivations for joining a dungeon were strong for players like healers and tanks because doing quests was hard and slow for those types of classes. It was beneficial to almost everyone to be in a guild or have a close group of friends because it was difficult to form group with complete strangers. The dungeon crawl was much more laid back and relaxing because people must be on their best behavior. If any player started to cause problems nobody will want to group with them again. Everything they did emphasized a strong social tie to the game.
As the game progressed WoW added a few more features that changed how people level. The number one culprit was the ability to have multiple talent trees. Leveling was made easier because all classes had the ability to level solo. Nobody really cared about grouping because it was considered a much slower leveling with groups than questing. If you wanted to hit the max level and start doing things with your real life friends who were level 80 then you needed to level quick. People stopped playing dungeons as often and started questing more. Something had to change because all the content wow developed wasn't being played. So what did they do? They added the auto queue system to ease the difficulty of finding and creating a group. This has an obvious impact on the social aspect of the game as now you don't need to make friends anymore. You could just click a button and the computer would find temporary friends to play with you. This also changes the players behavior while in a group, because you will never see these players again you can be a complete dick and it doesn't matter. I don't remember the last time I met any friends in WoW that weren't a new guild member. There aren't many other ways to meet people, everyone plays alone. The fact is, it doesn't matter anymore WoW has so many people playing and everyone already has friends. As a result their focus has changed, now they're more worried about what content to add then forcing people to make friends.
I know this has been a long post but maybe I'm not too crazy after all. All of the new games try to jump into the game with all the features that are offered by WoW such as instances and cross-realm instances. You don't need to form groups any more you can just auto-queue for an instance and when its ready you get paired up with 4 other people you'll never see again. I believe that if a new game was to succeed they would need to re-think the game play a bit in order to force socialization between players. You have to build MMOs with a strong foundation of friendships and guilds to be successful. This is something that most new games miss now a day. What do you guys think? Are these changes good? Do you like them? Do you agree with my analysis? Are there any other examples you can think of from other successful games?

My kids love water balloons. We'll head to the playground, fill 'em up and let 'em rip. Most of the time the balloons pop–but not always. Sometimes the balloons fall, bounce and roll along the ground.
Now consider the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM), which has fallen 12% this year, but has gained 4.3% during the past month of trading. Some strategists point to the big drop and the relatively cheap valuations as reasons to dip back into developing-world stocks.
But what if emerging markets are more like that water balloon that's bounced but hasn't popped yet?
Mark Luschini, Janney Montgomery Scott's chief investment strategist, for instance, argues that emerging market stocks aren't as cheap as they might appear, and certainly not cheap enough to signal a bottom. He writes:
Valuations typically become reasonably cheap at market bottoms: This is not yet the case for EM equities. Even though overall equity valuation ratios have been compressed, other equity valuations are still elevated (excluding commodity-related plays). For example, average equity valuation ratios are close to their historic mean, and the median trailing price-to-cash earnings ratio of 47 EM industry groups is still elevated.
EM corporate earnings have been stagnant/contracting over the past two years, and we expect analysts' expectations for forward-earnings growth to drop at least to zero before a sustainable bottom in EM share prices takes place. This is not the case now. Analysts still expect EM corporate earnings to grow by 12% in the next 12 months. This does not portray negative sentiment or prevailing pessimism.
Luschini's advice: Wait for U.S. investors to dump their emerging market stocks. He writes:

Storing Research Data -- SQLite vs. The Other Guys
StoringResearchData Created Monday 27 February 2012
I generally have a real aversion to using a full-on SQL implementation like MySQL or Postgres when it's not really necessary... and I typically think it's unnecessary until something forces me to change my mind. When I started writing small projects in Perl, I used to use Berkeley DB key-value pairs — lately I've used Python Pickles for similar purposes. It's simple and quick, which is nice, but it basically forces you to roll your own code.
Lately, everyone's been getting on the SQLite bandwagon, and it's pretty awesome. I've moved to using SQLite as my first choice when storing anything beyond flat text data. It has nice portability characteristics (unlike your homemade solution), simple backup and export formats. And, being able to make queries on the data is great for me, since these days most of my data are experimental results, etc.
But another good reason for using an external, portable data sink became obvious when I started to visualize and analyze my data using R. R has the RSQLite package, which made importing data into R for plotting and analysis a breeze. (Or as much of a breeze as anything is in R.) The thing is, roll-your-own formats may be perfectly "good enough" for isolated projects, but the minute you start wanting to use a different tool to view the data, having it already be in a format that is easily accessible is a major win. And if you're like me, you won't always know that in two months you're going to want to use the data in some completely different way. So I feel like I got that capability for "free" just because I decided to store my data in a more structured and portable way.
But SQLite is targeted at a specific niche — projects that would benefit from SQL behaviors but don't need all the robustness and consistency guarantees of "enterprise" databases. While you get good performance (because SQLite works inside your code, rather than through RPCs), if you start wishing for read/write concurrency (say, importing new data and plotting other unrelated data at the same time) you may find yourself frustrated with SQLite's limitations. That's what happened to me. As I started to generate large numbers of plots, I wanted to be able to run multiple scripts (some of which generate plots, some of which update other tables) at the same time — SQLite can balk at this.
So, I switched to a more traditional SQL database, which itself was relatively painless because of the underlying SQL standard. (R has libraries for it as well — another good reason not to roll your own even if you don't need all that SQL provides.) And in turn, this highlighted another unexpected value for the more "enterprise" systems: caching. Re-running long queries just to tweak a plot is considerably quicker with the big server as opposed to SQLite.
None of this is new information — in fact, it's a pretty textbook tour of the hows and whys of data storage. But for me, it inspired a change of heart, thanks to the convenience factor. In the future, I'll probably start with a Big Dog SQL server for research projects (running on my personal laptop) because it avoids the papercuts encountered when my projects get to big for SQLite. But I'll stick to SQLite for simpler things, to avoid the dependencies created by the more enterprise approach.
The Process #1 -- The Symbolism Survey
Lately I've been really interested in the process that a craftsman goes through, intentionally or unintentionally, in the process of creation. I use the word craftsman because I'm interested not just in "art" per se, but also (not coincidentally) in things like academic writing, problem solving and engineering. This is a fascinating treasure trove, not just for the answers provided, but for who provided them...

Codin' Chip
In the Boy Scouts, there is a thing called a "Totin' Chip". It is "both an award and contract in Boy Scouts of America that shows Scouts understand and agree to certain principles of using different tools with blades" (WP). To get the Totin' Chip, which is a paper card (like a library card or the like) scouts must demonstrate a certain amount of knowledge and responsibility. The Wikipedia page has more on it, of course. The main thing (besides the rules) is that violations of the Totin' Chip code result in one or more corners of the card being removed; when all the corners are gone, you lose your right to tote a blade.
Anyway, I think there should be a "Codin' Chip" -- maybe it's a card, maybe it's an actual chip. If it's a card you lose corners; if it's a chip, you lose pins. Anyway, when you lose em' all, you're done.
Violations can be large or small; for example, not commenting code meant for others to read falls into that category, as does using equality to test floating point numbers inappropriately. Using strcpy and the like is definitely in there.
What else should cause you to forfeit a pin off your Codin' Chip?
Changing references from parens to brackets...

Hummingbird TV
Almost as soon as we moved into this apartment in Pacific Palisades, CA, I put up a hummingbird feeder. There are tons of them in this neighborhood, and I've always enjoyed them. Then, A couple years ago, I took cuttings from the ivy growing in our hedge and planted it on our porch. It grew pretty well and soon started its way across the ceiling of our little porch cubicle.
Well, a few weeks ago, I noticed something weird on a branch but didn't pay any attention to it. Until I noticed that a hummingbird was very often on the branch -- and zoomed away every time I opened the door. Then, one day I was working on the porch, watering the plants, and the hummer zoomed up with a mouth full of fluff and spiderwebs and it all clicked -- the bird was building a nest in our ivy.
Now, what else is there for a computer nerd to do than to webcast the whole thing?
Vital statistics: I think it's a female Allen's Hummingbird, but I'm not exactly sure. Yes, that is an egg in the nest. There is one small egg, about the size of a large jelly bean. I've read online that they usually lay two eggs, but there's definitely just one in the nest. The nest itself is probably 6cm long, about an inch and a half. The bird was working on the nest less than a week ago but the egg is visible in the earliest pictures I took with the webcam on 5/4.
The weirdest thing is that the bird is only on the nest maybe 20 minutes out of the hour, or less, and it's not (usually) because of interruptions from us. I don't know if that means the egg really isn't going to hatch, or if that's acceptable in a warmer climate, or what. I'm hoping that if it doesn't hatch, she might "double brood" -- have another round. There are h-birds year round here so that's not impossible.
Images are updated between 6AM and 8PM every night, although I may shrink that some, as you can see, the cameras don't handle the low light very well. I will probably document my setup in a few days for those out there that are interested, but in short, it's basic webcams being driven by a Linksys NSLU2 running Debian Linux.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
If I ever open a Beatles-themed day-old bread store, it will be called "Yeasterday"! Bada-boom!

42" SBB and 32" BB ~ Rod and Tube Side Tables – PAIR
This is the Rod and tube/hanging side table for both the 42" SBB and 32" BB. They are 304 stainless plate and old growth recycled teak.
If you do not have a working surface near your grill these are great to place your tools, gloves and plates of food. They can be removed completely leaving a very small unobtrusive bracket behind in 2 seconds. They can also be hung vertically for storage. If left outside teak will silver and collect dirt.. I use these rod and tube myself because I do not store the tables on the KK.
Are you someone who appreciates fine quality, insists on having the best of the best and won't compromise when purchasing equipment?
Someone who understands great design and wants something beautiful when they look out on their deck?
Then a Komodo Kamado is for you.
That being said…we know our grills are not for everyone — and that's ok.
If a high quality, super grill seems ridiculous to you...there are many.. much more "main stream" glazed-pot kamados on the market.
Some people claim Komodo's costly features and components are outright lavish and extravagant... and they're right.
Does a grill really need high-tech insulation or CNC laser cut components? Absolutely not.
On the other hand, if you value overkill and unsurpassed performance….
and think that a ceramic grill with 128 lbs of 304 stainless is awesome...
We are building grills for you.
Komodo Kamado grills are warehoused in and drop shipped from Carson California. We get great rates for residential lift gate deliveries.
A 23' box truck with a lift gate shows up at your residence, the driver will use a pallet jack to roll th create where you want it. He will not be able to go up or down stairs, over dirt or grass nor will he uncrate grills. The grill comes fully assembled. Un-crating: Removing two bolts from the bottom of each post lets you easily lift the crate up and over the top of the pallet. Removing the drywall screws from the top of the crate lets you use this piece of wood as the ramp to get the grill off the palette.
Komodo Kamado ships to pretty much every corner of the world. We generally pick up most or all of the sea freight to main ports. Once there you will be responsible for local custom clearance as well as transportation from the port to your residence. Please contact us for more information.

So I am up deer hunting in Northwest MN near Hallock and a friend and I are eating at the Caribou grill and we start talking to a nice guy next to us. We find out he is Bob Lessard the long term MN senator from International Falls. The topic comes to how to make hunting better in MN. I suggested to make maps of MN that show private and public land ownership for the entire state so that way a hunter can identify where to go legally. I listed the state of MT as a great example of the way to do it.
We discussed having lunch and talking about other issues, so what are the other main issues in MN that we/the MN DNR c ould do better?

To quote Marie Colvin: 'What is bravery, and what bravado?'
Not since the worst period of the Iraq war, or in the Balkans the decade before, have so many storied journalists been killed or seriously injured in such a short period of time. Inevitably, the spate of deaths leaves many journalists asking questions about whether and how much they are willing to risk their own lives, and possibly the lives of others. Many experienced journalists might agree on one thing: the decisions one makes about risk are among the most intimate decisions they will ever make.

Exhibits highlight Freud, African women
Two exhibitions will open in the Binghamton University Art Museum on Friday, September 8, with a reception at 5 p.m. The reception and the exhibits are free and open to the public.
An exhibition titled Engaging the Camera: Africa Women, Portraits and the Photographs of Hector Acebes features the photographs of Hector Acebes, a Colombian photographer and cinematographer who traveled to Africa in 1947, 1948 and 1953. Acebes used two cameras - one color and the other black and white - to visually record the landscapes and people of Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal, Guinea, Mali, Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon, the Congo, Kenya and Tanzania. From this rich archive, the curators of this exhibition, Andrea D. Barnwell and Isolde Brielmaier, selected a representative sample of Acebes' work, focusing on his pictures of women. Barnwell, director of the Spelman College Museum, will discuss the exhibit at 6 p.m.
The second exhibition, titled Sigmund Freud's Drawings and Diagrams of the Mind: From Neurology to Psychoanalysis, will also open on September 8. This celebration of Freud's early contributions is curated by Lynn Gamwell, director of the Binghamton University Art Museum.
The exhibit traces the intriguing evolution of Freud's career from neurology to psychoanalysis by showcasing his late 19th century drawings of nerve tissue and cells, alongside his early-20th-century diagrams of the working human mind. In addition to Freuds' published diagrams in rare books, the exhibit will feature several original drawings. The drawings have never before been displayed together in an exhibit. Some have been published in rare books and periodicals, while others are facsimiles of original drawings on display at the Freud Museum in London. The exhibit will also include images in books and journal articles that Freud wrote between 1876 and 1933. Gamwell will discuss the Freud exhibition during the reception.
Both exhibitions will run from September 8 to November 17, 2006. The Binghamton University Art Museum is open Tuesday – Saturday, from noon to 4 p.m.; and Thursdays, from noon to 7 p.m.
For more information, call the Binghamton University Art Museum at 607-777-2634 or visit the website at http://artmuseum.binghamton.edu/

Wow! Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Thanks for sharing.
man i just read your story. so moving as there is a god !!!!!!! good luck to ace and you. thanks for sharing.
It's amazing how close to home your story hits me. I lived it almost to a t the exact same scenario as a 15 year old with my stepdad and his/our lab. It taught me that our dogs will literally kill themselves for us and it's our job to be aware. It has caused me to make sure I always have some sort of snacks or treats around should such a scenario arise again. Hope he has recovered 100%.
It's not what happens to you it's how you handle it
That was a really good read.
Oh my goodness. God Bless you both. I will keep him in my prayers. I do the web site for our hunt club. Do I have your permission to post your story? It may save a life. Take care. Hope he continues to do well
Julie Rihn
Those who say "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" have never met my dog!
Wow that's some story there and should make people think this situation on extremly cold mornings.
It is that time of year again.
Guys and gals, our dogs are not bullet-proof, propeller-proof or cold-proof.
Please remember safety, including that of your dog.
Had a very similar experience myself a couple years back with my Golden. He also pulled through but it was close.
Thanks for sharing. As the new owner of my first pup, I will always remember 3 things I took away from this story.
1- Always take into consider your dogs well being
2- No duck, goose or hunt is worth risking a life over, weather its yours or your dogs or anyone else.
3- Listen to what your dog is telling you
Thank you for having the guts to post this. We all need a reminder from time to time what these dogs will do to please us...
You have me crying like a baby right now, I lost my pup of 11 years on Oct 26 of this year. "lung cancer"... Ace's story drug up some of those feelings.... Again thank you for posting this, and best of luck hope all goes well......

Another fantastic camp out with the Scouts from Troop 664.
I took the opportunity to try out a J Falk Wood Fuel Stove this weekend. Jason Klass from Gear Talk sent me one to try out.
I really like the stove. It is light and burned well. I was drinking coffee in 5 minutes.
Like I say in the video, I am not ready to give up my Jet boil, but having the J Falk stove is a nice addition to the camping gear.
Filmed at Camp Meriwether out on the beautiful Oregon coast, we had a great weekend and as you can see the weather cooperated with us too. Not bad for a February on the Oregon Coast.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Hey Guys,
A coworker of mine asked me this yesterday at work. He is a sandal wearing tree hugger type who also is a smart and clever fellow. He and I have a great many friendly political debates. He also knows I duck hunt a lot and that I very much enjoy bringing out new people who have never hunted, to the duck blind.
So he asked, "If you were called out of the blue and the voice on the phone said please hold for President Elect Obama. And he came on the line and asked you to bring him duck hunting, would you?" He might say something like "My staff has informed me you are an excellent duck hunter and I would like to experience waterfowling. I never have been and would like to know more about it before I take office. I want to experience first hand a day in the field with dogs and guns before signing into law any legislation that may have an impact on your lifestyle. Would you help me?"
Seeing as all of us here on RTF are stunningly accomplished Waterfowlers and dog handlers, in theory the call could come to any of us. Now don't answer quickly, ponder this. It will be a big deal security wise before you take off in the dark with guns and dogs and decoys with him. You will definitely need a thorough background investigation. Your favorite spot with need to be cordoned off with a secure perimeter by the secret service. The press will need access and will leave no stone unturned (Joe Plumber effect) after the hunt. A lot of hoops to jump through just to be able to show the beauty of a sunrise over a decoy spread in you most favorite secret blind location.
Would you, if asked in such a way, take the President Elect Duck hunting? I would like to think I would.
How about it fellas?

Uniloy opens R&D facility in MichiganComments Email Print
ORLANDO, FLA. (April 4, 7:50 a.m. ET) — Uniloy Milacron will open a 15,000-square-foot research and development facility, dubbed Uniloy University, in the fourth quarter of this year at the blow molding machinery company's headquarters in Tecumseh, Mich.
The production laboratory will include the latest UR70 series, as well as Uniloy's 350 series machines, used for both R&D and training programs. The dedicated lab nearly triples the size of the previous facility.
"Our goal is to create an environment that fosters blow molding innovation," said Dave Skala, Uniloy's vice president and general manager. "This new facility was designed from the ground up to meet nearly every conceivable need and give our customers and partners a place to learn and grow the science of blow molding."
Customers will be able to run trials, do production feasibility studies, and move from concept to commercialization in blow molding.
To ensure the protection of intellectual property, the center will have its own its own separate, secured entrance.

Can I enter without a twitter? I don't have one :P
Cydia number: 640791
only problem is that this form of tethering might be monitored closely by AT&T or Verizon because its native and there's probably some sort of thing that notifies them that you are doing so. this is why i have avoided this type of tethering previously, i personally use pda net and mywi. i cannot say that this is for certain, but i really dont feel like risking it, especially cuz im a grandfathered original unlimited iphone plan customer.
Yeah, I think I'll pass. I bought TetherMe previously, so probably could get this version for no or little additional cost, but I've been previously warned by AT&T, and can't again put my unlimited plan at risk.
I'll wait a few more years, maybe WiMax will be widely enough deployed that true unlimited service will be available. Until then, I've learned to be happy with what I can do on the iPhone without tethering.
I still had received no warnings, until one day when I had to call 611 for a billing issue. When I called, instead of getting a customer service rep, I was sent right to the tethering task force. They told me that I had been sent more texts and emails and the snail-mailed letter. None of those had found me, but they insisted that they had sent them all. Of course I plead ignorance, and that I knew nothing of tethering. I immediately swore off all tethering for good, as I knew that if they got me again, I'd be on the 4gb tethering plan.
How did they catch me? I'll probably never know. That's why I can't risk it, even if they're bluffing. Their tactics have been effective with me, even making me go so far as to setup a DD-WRT wifi repeater in my home to make sure I use wifi whenever possible to keep them from throttling me.
Scare tactics? Maybe. That's why they call 'em scare tactics...they're scary.
Using this app is the quickest way to get busted by AT&T. I was warned by them and had my unlimited plan changed to 4gb with tether while using this app. (I've gotten it back now though through rather clever means) but stay away if you value your unlimited data.
I think it's great that us apparent few that choose not to buy into the social hooplah of twitter and the likeness have NO chance whatsoever to get a shot at these giveaways.
@dave01568 tweeted entry https://twitter.com/dave01568/status/138278880447442944
Great contest, great forum, great app!
Damn.. I feel so sorry for you guys, because of how scared you are of your carrier, and what the heck's up with those tiny data plans you get? 2 - 4 Gb? I live in denmark. Here the smallest data plan is 5 Gb, and the largest is 40 Gb/mo. And everybody has the right to tether all they want.
Why are people being punished for tethering in the states?
You shouldn't be worried about your company busting you if you use it sparingly. TetherMe has (some) security for you. Obviously, tethering on a Windows machine with Internet Explorer will register with different information on AT&T's side than tethering through Safari on Mac OS X. iOS mobile Safari is built off of Mac OS X Safari. So you have better security if you have a Mac.
I was doing everything right so that they should not have been able to detect my tethering...PDANet with hiding, tethering an iPad, even SSH'ing the iPad to reset its TTL. Despite all of the security, they saw my tethering anyway.

Craig There will be a shakeup next year in the tri-county 14th Judicial District Attorney's Office, encompassing Moffat, Routt and Grand counties.
District Attorney Elizabeth Oldham said Saturday she wouldn't seek re-election, a move she's contemplated for some time now.
"When I finally came to the decision that I wasn't going to run again, I started searching for someone I thought would be good to transition into that role," Oldham said. "I wouldn't say bringing Brett (Barkey) in was a calculated move, but he is someone I think would bring a lot of experience to the office."
Barkey, 50, a Hayden resident and the 14th's assistant district attorney, announced Saturday he's seeking the district attorney's position in the November 2012 election.
Barkey graduated in 1983 from the University of Denver with a double major in history and economics.
He attended Georgetown University Law Center and graduated in 1986 with a Juris Doctor and a master's in international law. He passed the bar later that year.
After a short stint in private practice, Barkey said his legal career took off when he took a position in 1987 with the El Paso County District Attorney's Office.
"Ever since I was a DA in the 80s, I always thought that being an elected DA was the right combination and was a good fit for me because the job requires leadership skills as well as legal skills," Barkey said. "I always told myself that I would run if I ever got the opportunity and that is why I accepted the (assistant DA) position and returned to the Yampa Valley in August."
In the past 25 years, Barkey has honed his legal skills in a variety of positions.
His public service experiences include positions with the El Paso and Moffat County district attorney offices to a 22-year affiliation with the U.S. Marine Corps.
His service in the Armed Forces includes three tours in Iraq, where he served as a judge advocate and rose through the ranks to lieutenant colonel to positions with the U.S. Department of Treasury.
With the treasury department, Barkey said he wrote an executive order for President George W. Bush in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001, that froze financial assets of individuals suspected of being involved in the attacks.
Barkey said the president called the order the "first shot in the war on terrorism" after it was signed Sept. 23, 2001.
One reason Barkey said he's interested in leading the 14th DA's office is because it serves as a training ground for young attorneys.
"We've got a really talented group of lawyers and a phenomenal staff, so I don't want to discount that," Barkey said. "But, DA's offices are places where young attorneys go to get trial experience and I am really comfortable mentoring folks that are new to the job. That's really the part of the job that I enjoy most."
Barkey said it would be his first order of business to keep the current staff together.
"We really have a top notch team," Barkey said. "It's my intent to keep the band together."
The district attorney's position is partisan.
Barkey said he'll be running as a Republican.
"There's really not a lot of direct politics with the job," he said. "I'm a Republican in the sense that I believe in good accountability for government, good accountability for our budget and transparent operations.
"That's certainly how the district attorney's office should run as well as any other government office, but there is nothing particularly partisan about the DA's position in my opinion."
Barkey said he believes he's the only candidate to publicly state his intention to run for district attorney. No one within the office has announced an interest, he said.
However, Barkey said he would welcome a contested race.
"I'd be excited to be in a competitive race because I think it's good for the community," he said. "I've devoted virtually my entire career to public service and I'm committed to devoting my life to it.
"I think this would be a great opportunity to continue down that path."
