"The design really stands out and the Tiny Prints editor was able to customize the cards and place an image on the back instead of the logo. They turned out really cool!"
"I just graduated from college and ordered these to market myself at professional and networking events. These cards are absolutely gorgeous and will definitely do the job. And for the record, I am an extremely picky person when it comes to anything bearing my name. Beautifully printed on luxurious card stock, I would highly recommend these. Thanks TinyPrints!"
"Look exactly as I had hoped - I love them! They are printed on a very heavy paper stock. However, since it is so thick, they don't stay completely folded but really not a big deal. However, be VERY careful when customizing the card as the inside customization area doesn't show you where the front will fold over (I called customer service and they hopefully will fix this). When my cards arrived, I was very bummed to see that I had included text that peaked out so when the card is folded, some of the inside information is showing. I should have thought of this but none of the proofs I reviewed showed me this view. Very bummed as I had paid a rush. While they offer a 100% money back guarantee if I spend more money shipping them back, I would have preferred that they allowed me to relayout the card and that they would have just resent them to me."
"This card design was perfect for me. The template allowed me to adjust the color, text and I added one of my photos (this card is for my photography business.) I like how you can stand it up on a flat surface too. I think the paper and printing quality was outstanding. You can get far cheaper cards/products from other online companies (I did a lot of shopping around before I settled for Tinyprints,) but you will probably end up with something cheesy, outdated-looking and/or poor print quality. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on my card. They all say it looks very professional and cool."
"The card is a very nice quality. The editor was helpful. I asked to have a custom color and it matched perfectly. I am very satisfied. We used it as a wedding response card."

For Trinity students showing support for classmate, bald truly is beautiful
By PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader | January 23. 2014 8:45PM
Pat Smith, Dean of Students at Trinity High School, cuts the hair of Carmen Giampetruzzi, a senior, on Thursday as 44 students and faculty shaved their heads in support of Trinity sophomore Matt Lemire, who has been battling cancer. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
Smith had great fun shaving the heads of the students, joking that the clippers had just broke and he couldn't finish shaving Giampetruzzi's head when it was only about an eighth done.
As the last of Giampetruzzi's locks hit the gym floor, the 38 students, faculty members and Lemire's parents — Kelly and Paul — arrived to pose for photos and celebrate Lemire's return.
Lemire plays on the school's baseball team, whose head coach is his father. Many of the students who shaved their heads are fellow athletes like Giampetruzzi, who also plays basketball and baseball.
Brewitt was stunned.
"It's one thing you never expect," he said.
Denise Brewitt, an academic coach in the guidance office and Brewitt's mother, said Lemire has handled his illness with "much grace and humor. If anything, it has been educational for the whole school as well."
Brewitt said he and Lemire's other friends wanted to do something to help him through the crisis and to show him he had their support. They came up with the idea of shaving their heads and expected about 10 people would do it. When word got out, students who didn't even know Lemire wanted to do it as well.
Trinity has 442 students — 50 percent boys, 50 percent girls — so nearly 20 percent of the boys volunteered to have their heads shaved.
The first under the trimmer was Smith, who was aided by his wife and then Brewitt.
"My parents went to Trinity with his parents and I was on the baseball team with him," said junior Colby Fortin as his hair was being removed. "It's supporting Matt, giving him the Trinity support. We're all like family here."
Zach Szczechowicz, 18, a senior who plays soccer and baseball, was fine with getting a free haircut. But he cautioned Smith to keep the trimmer away from his beard.
So some of the moms may be shocked at their sons' new looks, but undoubtedly they will beam with pride at their children's thoughtfulness.

I have my ipcam in my baby's room. What I did was to create a playlist .pls file to view the stream. That works fine however, at present, my only means of accessing it is to go to videos>library>playlists in order to select it.
What I would LOVE to do --but don't expect its easily possible-- is to create a 'videos' submenu. I'm using the confluence skin and the way I have it configured is that on my home screen, there are several options...
MUSIC, VIDEOS, PROGRAMS, etc. when VIDEOS is highlighted, beneath it are 'movies, tv shows, files, library, addons'. I'd love to just have an option right smack there for my ipcam stream playlist. any suggestions?

While, not quite what you asked for - why not add the playlist to your Favorites and make it the first entry in the list?
From the home screen, I think that would make it 2 remote button presses - Menu to Open Favourites, then Select to pick your playlist.

Field notes from a Nature Conservancy meeting
I had the opportunity to attend a three-day meeting of the Nature Conservancy last week in Vancouver. I was there with my RealClimate hat on, to offer ideas and insight on blogging in particular, and public communication of science in general.
While at the conference, I had a rare chance to see some of the inner workings of one of the world's largest and most successful environmental organizations (this was an invite-only conference, and only a handful of us were other than Nature Conservancy staff and trustees). The Nature Conservancy has a reputation of being very non-partisan, and this was abundantly evident at the conference: There were representatives present from the Shell Oil Company, from the Christian Coalition, from Environmental Defense. This broad level of buy-in of Nature Conservancy goals is perhaps not surprising, given that the main thing this organization is known for is its method of protecting land: buying it. Neither free-market boosters (if there are there any remaining) nor lefty environmentalists have any trouble with this.
What was news to me, though, was the extent to which the Nature Conservancy is also working towards influencing policy on climate change. Getting serious about climate policy is no longer a partisan issue in the U.S.: both John McCain and Barak Obama are on record for supporting cap and trade carbon markets. But one might well ask what climate policy has to do with the buy-the-land-to-protect it method of the Nature Conservancy. As I learned at the conference, there are two rationales.
First, the Nature Conservancy has a strongly science-based policy for making land-purchasing decisions. They take into account things like the minimum viable ecosystem size in determining which acquisitions will actually have lasting impact. Trouble is, for many areas, the conditions those decisions are based on may change. Areas near sea level are an obvious example. But so are the more than 10,000 acres of native tallgrass prairie that they have protected in Kansas. How much will that ecosystem change with the projected changes in precipitation in this region? Obviously, the Nature Conservancy is taking into account such projections, as best they can. But they have also decided that the risks of climate change to the world's ecosystems are too large to simply adapt to: hence their interest in helping to push governments to enact policies that will help mitigate it.
Second, it turns out that the Nature Conservancy's mission is — and has always been — much broader than is widely recognized. As they note on their mission statement page they can't possibly buy all the places they want to protect. To achieve their mission — "to preserve the plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive" — they will clearly have to do something much bigger. The buzzword here is sustainability, and the nature Conservancy is now launching what they call their Campaign for a Sustainable Planet. This means a serious focus not just on direct ecosystem protection but also on sustainable development. International sustainable development goals, of course, are impossible to separate from international energy policy. And one cannot today talk about energy policy without talking about climate policy. It is therefore quite logical for the Nature Conservancy to be drawn into weighing-in on climate policy.

I'm confused. The vessel in Cam's link is stated as a 35 footer. I thought this gentleman's Beneteau was a 43 footer? It certainly looks to be 40+ feet.
Of course, the name does match. Reporting error by the press/C.G. ?
OK will ask tomorrow, but I think you may be right as the boat still is US registred.
Look at the photo in 1st post...
|Giu...my recollection of the original story which I can find no reference to is that he bought the boat in Florida and took off for Europe from there. When you get a chance...ask him if that was the case or if I am remembering someone different. Thanks.
Dog/Sway...the list of 2007 ARC entries would seem to belie the notion that big boats don't cross oceans. Poppycock.
The story he tells matches that one you pointed here. But the one you showed is only half of it.
He gave me the full story. The rescue with tow you mention in that link was his second contact with the CG.
Like I said, he is going to send me several short stories he has to tell and I will post them.
Please note he did not ask anything, I was curious and asked permission to come here and tell which he gave full permisiion.
I am going to tell you what he told me but please note that I am not sure as he told many things and I only retained a few..so don't quote me yet..
He is very very gratefull to the USCG and his words were.."unfortunately I gave them a lot of trouble" they were nice and helped beyond the duty...
He had originally left from another place he spoke about but I forgot, Chesapeake or something....I will confirm later...
He was about 1000 miles into the Atlantic, when his head stay broke. He then tried to keep moving with a makeshift stay, while he repaired the steel cable that he shortened as a fix later.
Because he had a broken structural item, he motored back to the US, but faced heavy strong winds and currents, and ran out of diesel...I don't know how and why...he then stayed adrift for 10 more days, and everyone he saw and spoke to (and he mmentioned seeing many many many tankers ignoring him, and finnaly broke contact with a Chinese tanker that refused to help.
But the Chinese called the CG. A helicopter was sent and he said the heli stayed with him all day hovering around, then a plane relieved the heli and the heli came back later. The CG in the mean time called another tanker which he refers to the "nice" Italian Captain.
The CG launched flares to guide the tanker and finally he docked by the tanker, that gave him diesel.
Unfortunately as each went its own way, 1 hour later his engine stopped.
He found out that the cannisters the tanker gave him had been used to store crude and old oils and that clogged his filters, etc...he was adrift again (by now understand the man is at sea powerless for 2 or 3 weeks now)...
So the CG comes back again, as now he is near the coast and offered to tow him to the mainland US..to Ocean City, where he did repairs and set sail to cross the atlantic.
Its true he had few resources...but that was after being adrift and powerless for a while, for the second time.
I was with him just now...the guy is repairing things in his boat all the time, and seems quite skilllfull.
I will have more stories soon, as he sends them to me.
I hate to say it...but I have to agree with Sway here... the larger the boat, and the older the sailor, the more likely the boat stays a harbor or dock queen.

If I ever cross the Atlantic again, it'll likely be in a much smaller boat than "recommended". I'll be comforted somewhat by the knowledge that most of the "recommended" sized boats will probably never cross the Atlantic, or any other ocean, and that they and their owners will never find a compelling reason to do so. Ironic how the size of the boat increases in direct proportion to the age of the owner, while the likelihood of an ocean crossing seems to decrease in inverse proportion. Just some observations from a de-clutched mind.
Mr. Barnes's boat was 47' LOA and the Tin Can is 50' LOA, and Reid's boat is 60' or so, with only Heather's Flicka being what I would call a small boat...
However, I'd point out that Donna Lange's boat was only 28' LOA, and she did finish her circumnavigation, unlike Barnes or Vann.

|Hercule Poirot at your service M. Shannon! ....actually I just googled the name of the boat when Giu said there was a Coast Guard Rescue. I remembered he story cause it was fairly local to me and I had some thoughts about it at the time...so I knew it had to be out there. It will be interesting to hear the story from him.

CNN's Crowley on Dems' "old message": "[W]e don't support the troops and we're not tough on national security"
Video ››› ››› RYAN CHIACHIERE
Loading the player reg...
On the February 26 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, CNN senior political correspondent Candy Crowley claimed that Democrats looking toward the 2008 presidential elections have to say, "We cannot send that old Democratic message about how we don't support the troops and we're not tough on national security."
As Media Matters for America noted, in October 2006, Crowley presented a segment on CNN looking at the Democrats' prospects in the midterm elections in which she made the baseless assertion that Democrats have been "on the losing side of the values debate, the defense debate and, oh yes, the guns debate." In the segment, Crowley aired only negative opinions of the Democratic Party, such as those of an Asheville, North Carolina, resident who called the Democrats "losers." At no point during the segment did Crowley say, air, or quote anything positive about Democrats. Additionally, in the wake of the 2004 presidential election, Crowley portrayed Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) as out of touch because he drinks green tea, suggesting that green tea is a rare and exotic beverage unfamiliar to "most of America."
From the February 26 edition of CNN's The Situation Room at 4 p.m. ET:
WOLF BLITZER (host): And so, Candy, how does all this debate right now over the war, the authorization for the war, the funding for the war, the surge -- how does it play out in the 2008 presidential election?
CROWLEY: Well, what's going to be interesting here is you now have probably all five of the Democrats out there with their variations of what is generally the same plan, but they do have some different ones when it gets down to [Sen. Christopher J.] Dodd [D-CT] and [Sen. Joseph R.] Biden [D-DE].
So what they have to do is once again show that they are tough on the president, that they understand the message of the '06 election. But they also have to look toward '08 and say, "We cannot send that old Democratic message about how we don't support the troops and we're not tough on national security."
So they're walking that same line, only in a much more public way and much more individually.
BLITZER: On the Democratic side.

Wow! Did you catch Lady Gaga at the Grammy Awards Sunday night? She received the award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album just days after Target announced an exclusive deal that allows fans to download the first single of her new album, "Born This Way," scheduled for release on May 23. Gaga fans were able to pre-order the new album beginning last Friday through Feb. 26 at www.Target.com/gaga. Target's exclusive deluxe edition includes three additional studio songs and five remixes, and will be available at stores nationwide and on Target.com. According to a press release announcing the deal, Lady Gaga has become a fashion, entertainment and music icon renowned for her edgy embrace of pop culture.
That's one way to put it. Another might be that she is just the latest in a long line of vocalists who've ascended to fame courtesy of outrageous behavior, outlandish costumes and highly choreographed stages shows loaded with special effects as opposed to whether not the artist can actually sing.
This phenomenon was in full effect at the Grammy's as Lady Gaga took the stage in black outfit that merged gladiatorial and stripper influences in addition to some temporary (hopefully) cosmetic work done to create small triangular shaped protrusions from her forehead and shoulders. Check out the acceptance speech at: http://www.grammy.com/videos/53rd-annual-grammy-awards-best-pop-vocal-album.
As Target chief marketing office Michael Francis explained, "Target has a long history of working with a diverse group of musicians, entertainers and designers that appeal to a broad spectrum of our guests. Lady Gaga is one of the most dynamic artists of our time, and we are excited to add her to Target's outstanding list of music partnerships."
Her manager and record label are excited by the deal which should help produce additional sale and exposure for brand Gaga.
"Target and Lady Gaga together is a win-win," said her manager Troy Carter, chairman and CEO of Coalition Media Group. "The partnership provides us with an opportunity to really engage the fans early and widen our reach on the album promotion."

Have you heard?
A Tale In The Desert is just a couple of months away from launching it's next tale! Under the new guidance and leadership of Pluribus Games, A Tale In The Desert (ATITD) is once again promising a very active development and player base which will breath new life into a long time favorite.
For those who have never played this game before, I encourage you to check it out! Set in ancient Egypt, A Tale In The Desert is a challenging crafter style game which builds it's foundation on the society. There are no monsters to fight or wars to wage. Instead, this game challenges the player and the community with issues such as bartering for goods and services, working together to complete large scale construction projects, and passing laws written by the players themselves which govern society! Starting off can be difficult, but I have never encountered a more friendly and welcoming player base eager to assist. There are so many things that make this game truly unique, but none more so than the culture of the community.
We are currently at the end of tale 6 and now is the perfect opportunity for new and returning players to brush up on their game skills and get to know people. For a limited time Pluribus has made the game free to play, so there's no reason not to give it a try!
I look forward to seeing you there.

Triple the Fun: Three Controversial Amendments Crammed Into Military Spending Bill
posted at 8:29 am on September 21, 2010 by Diane Suffern
What's one way to cement your "support" of the military, gay rights, public funding for abortion and open-borders policies while accusing the opposition of obstructionism? Shoehorning them into a military spending bill just before recess, mere weeks before midterm elections, that's how.
Not just one, but three hotly-contested social issues are lumped into the bill. While debate over amendments is matter of course for military budget bills, Harry Reid has approved only three. The lucky few? The Dream Act, a repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell and a repeal of the law prohibiting military hospitals from performing abortions overseas. Voting begins today, according to FOX News:
The defense bill is one of the top orders of business on Capitol Hill before Congress adjourns for the remainder of the campaign season.
Reid needs 60 votes Tuesday to start debate. If he reaches that, he would still need to corral 60 votes on any amendment that is filibustered. And then he would need 60 votes again to shut down a filibuster preventing final passage, before moving onto the final vote.
Michelle Malkin has a great write up on the subversive Dream Act, as well as contact information for all related Senators. If inclined to call, you might want to mention your opposition to any taxpayer-funded hospital aborting babies on your dime and your opinion of the DADT repeal being crammed into what should be an obligatory, bipartisan effort to provide the Pentagon with the resources it needs to protect us. These issues should be handled independently, voted on openly after fair debate, not antagonistically stuffed into routine spending bills (which, incidentally, appears to be the M.O. of this liberal Congress).
Such opportunistic rump-covering from Harry Reid should surprise no one. Yet, putting the military in the center of a political sniping war over controversial social issues should outrage every American.

The IPCC Fourth Assessment SPM
"Dynamical processes related to ice flow not included in current models but suggested by recent observations could increase the vulnerability of the ice sheets to warming, increasing future sea level rise. Understanding of these processes is limited and there is no consensus on their magnitude."
Note that some media have been comparing apples with pears here: they claimed IPCC has reduced its upper sea level limit from 88 to 59 cm, but the former number from the TAR did include this ice dynamics uncertainty, while the latter from the AR4 does not, precisely because this issue is now considered more uncertain and possibly more serious than before.
On the hurricane/tropical strorm issue, the language is quite nuanced, as one might expect from a consensus document. The link between SST and tropical storm intensity is clearly acknowledged, but so is the gap between model projections and analyses of cyclone observations. "The apparent increase in the proportion of very intense storms since 1970 in some regions is much larger than simulated by current models for that period."
We will address some of these issues and how well we think they did in specific posts over the next few weeks. There's a lot of stuff here, and even we need time to digest it!

loss of rasbora maculatus
Over the past few days, I've mysteriously lost quite a few of my spotted rasboras (B. maculatus). From 11, I have just one left today. :icon_cry:
Water parameters are good, but there is a new algae, I think staghorn unfortunately, and the other inhabitants are doing fine. Other inhabitants include 4 adult amanos and a couple of bee shrimps, and 3 danio erythromicrons. Tank is a 7g planted nano with an Eheim 2210 filter and lilys, with inline heater maintaining a temp of 72F.
It began a few days ago when I found four rasboras dried up outside of the tank, by the outlet filter. I gathered they had accidentally launched out of the tank as they liked to school together and these four were all together in a small pile as if they had launched at the same time, one after the other.
I made sure the lid was on after this point. Then, I lost three two days later. Couldn't find them outside the tank, but I did find one inside that looked like he recently died. This brought me down to four.
Today, there is just one. No signs of where the other two are.
I'm confused... if it's water parameters then why are the amanos and bee shrimp, or danios not affected? :confused: I fed the shrimp some steamed zucchini twice this week outside their normal food, but again they are fine so not sure how it would have affected the rasboras.
Ideas on what could be wrong?
So, while seating at my desk, one of the amano shrimp launched herself out of the tank! I went to find her, under the desk, and saw one of the missing rasboras. I was able to scoop her up and put in her back in. She's clinging to one of the floaters. The lid in back on!
I had just completed a partial water change about an hour earlier. Other than dechlor, I don't treat the water. Not sure what the problem might be, but the water does smell "fishy" coming out of the faucet for the past week or so.
I picked up some bottled RO water at the store, and will do another partial water change. Maybe even 40%.
Is there anything I need to do/add to the RO for the shrimp?
If livestock are trying to escape your tank that is a solid clue your water quality is off. What are your parameters? I would also test what is coming out of your tap.
I hope the RO helps your survivors, but if it were me I woold want to figure out the cause.
Unfortunately, I'm out of test strips. Will be picking up some tomorrow.
I believe what may have happened was that I've been disturbing the aquasoil trying to manually remove this new algae (a mix of brush algae on the rocks, and staghorn, I think, on the plants.) Especially in the dwarf hair grass, the algae has grown rampant over this week. I knew this might cause an ammonia spike, but I was also doing a good partial water change at the time and the shrimp were not showing signs of stress until later... but could explain the loss of the rasboras?
To make matters worse, I increased the co2 today as it is recommended for battling these algae types. When the fish and shrimp began to swim towards the top, I turned it down and added an airstone.
It was just prior to the fish going to the top that the big shrimp had gone kamikaze. :( Now I also just read that there can be co2 spikes during water changes. So, I'm guessing that is the issue with my ms. amano. She and the other shrimp seem to be ok now.
I will test the tap tomorrow as well to rule out any issues with that, but until then I have 5g of RO water that I can use for partial water changes.
Does anyone know if I need to add anything to the RO for the shrimp? (eg. calcium?)
It doesn't sound like you have a strong fluorescent light close to the surface of your tank but for what it's worth you need to know that even grounded fluorescents create an electromagnetic field that often is very strong. It throws off measuring devices (TDS, pH meters) and if you have a small cut on your finger and put your hand in the tank you feel a weak stinging.
I used to import dwarf rasboras and I got to say the things are pretty much bulletproof unless they come poisoned by their own waste in the shipping bags. So whatever is killing them is a pretty serious issue.
First reaction should be to add activated carbon to the filter. But activated carbon itself is a funky thing. Believe it or not it releases invisible particles of itself that actually bother certain kinds of fish and shrimp. Still - I'd add the carbon if your tap water is funky. The water company often does crazy things to the tap water but you think you are doing something wrong to your tank.
wow, didn't know that about florescent lights. I'm using the Aquasky LED light fixture, suspending at about 14" above the water level. It's been up for about two months now, so I didn't think it was a cause.
I'm really baffled by the death of my rassys too as I've heard they are pretty bullet proof. The seven that were left after the initial 4 were found outside the tank seemed just fine, look fine. Ditto with the three that were left, and now with the lone last survivor. He's trying to school with the danios. It's so sad... hope he hangs in there until I can get this issue resolved and add some of his mates back in.
It does seem very odd to me too that only the rasboras are being impacted by the issue (I'm positive the shrimp were only impacted by the increase in co2 today). The danios are doing fine through it all, as are the shrimp now that the co2 is off and the airstone is running.
I have purigen in the canister filter. I'm planning to open up the canister and do a cleaning tomorrow. Will see if it needs a recharge at that time.

"This embosser added a wonderful touch to our homemade wedding invitations. It looks exactly like the picture. The design is lovely, the embosser is easy to use, and the hardware is very good quality. We will be keeping this embosser to use for our thank you cards, Christmas cards, and for general stationary in the future. I highly recommend!"
"Very easy to use and really lovely results! . I will definitely buy again as a special gift. I love tiny prints quality, I have yet to be disappointed."
"This si the best embosser I could ever wanted! The quality is very good. The embossed papers look very stylish. I tried to emboss paper and cardstock ranging 80 gsm to 300 gsm, it worked perfectly on the ones up to 260 gms, and on the 300 gsm it required a little more pressing power (I am a woman, so that shouldn't be a problem). All the letters are embossed in full, and the fleur-de-lis is so beautiful, gives everything a classy note. I needed this embosser for my very small handmade jewelry business, and all my customers were amazed by the embossed cards, they loved the idea of the embossed effect and they were basically mesmerized by it (they kept touching it cause they liked how it felt)."
"This is a compact (4 1/2" long) quality metal tool, very solid feel. The monogram impression on a 2" shiny mauve sticker is incredibly classy and unique. Definitely looks custom, not a preprinted sticker purchased at a stationery store! Be sure to order the stickers from Tiny Prints as the 2" size is not readily available retail."
"I am delighted with this embosser and love the design! It just dresses up my envelopes beautifully..I'm very happy with my purchase and plan to buy one as a birthday gift for my daughter in law.. I know she'll love it!.. Thanks Tiny Prints!"

Vermont has outlawed Felt Soled Wader use in streams and ponds around the State. Most likely to stop the spread of Rock Snot in the streams and rivers around the State. I don't know of many duck hunters that use felt soled waders as they are primarily lighter in weight and are used primarily for trout fishing, but it's something to be aware of if you have some. My father has a cheap pair of felt bottom waders that he has used as backups duck hunting.

I've got two boys who love Star Wars. Well, ok, one who LOVES Star Wars and one who likes it a lot. When I saw the Hasbro Helmets, I thought it would be a lot of fun for the kids if I painted each with a custom scheme. When I found this sight, I thought I'd pitch a couple of my ideas and get some feed back.
Keep in mind, they are rough and done with Windows Paint Brush...
The colors are based on the colors each kid chose when they started collecting figures. (So they didn't fight over which one was theres.)
My daughter wants a pink one... but I think I'll wait on that. I'm working on one for myself, but I want to do some customizing more than just paint.

Back in the mid-1980s, a cartoon depicted a sodden and visibly degenerating group of Canadians peering forlornly south of the border as rain fell-acid rain as it turned out spiced by the sulfurous output from a hundred coal-burning power plants in the Northeast U.S. "Dang fool Canadians ain't got the common sense to get out of the rain." commented a group of perfectly dry American industrialists looking north.
Thirty years later in a new environmental era, and carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas that gets the cartoonists in a lather. More significantly, the U.S. Supreme Court has finally ruled on CO2 as an "endangerment" to public health. While still not officially recognized as a full-blown pollutant, those holding the legislative reins are helping to swing the numbers away from those who still think that CO2 is nothing more than plant food, and a threat to nobody.
George Schulz, who served in three separate administrations, recently looked north of the border to British Columbia to point out the apparent success of taxing carbon dioxide to try to stem the threat of global warming. Surprisingly popular with the citizens of B.C., it has not been met with the same level of enthusiasm by the concrete and cement sector.
Technically, a tax on carbon rather than CO2 ( hence, carbon tax) and levied on combustion rather than process emissions has just ramped up to its peak at $30 per ton in July from an initial $10 per ton when it was introduced four years ago. The tax effectively adds almost 1.8 cents to a gallon of gasoline, between $53 and $62 per ton on coal, and more than $75 on coke.
An operator choosing to burn shredded tires now faces an additional cost of $72 per ton. All this extra cost has a cost of its own-the importation of untaxed cement (mostly from China and neighboring Washington State) has risen from below 4 percent to an unprecedented 27 percent of the total since the tax was imposed. This is the dreaded "carbon leakage."
Taxing carbon and trading carbon are seen as the two main mechanisms to curb emissions, but they are not mutually exclusive. Both can coexist to serve a common purpose, but so far, we haven't seen it.
Good for U.S. producers?
While the tax is unpopular among concrete producers in British Columbia, would U.S. producers be in a better position to get involved in emissions trading, either at the facility level or within an industry association? The regional U.S. trading initiatives are proving slow to get going. Even though the Western Climate Initiative has been hemorrhaging members at a greater rate than it has been picking up official "observers" (including several concrete-producing and heavily-emitting Mexican states), it has managed to unite two jurisdictions as geographically remote and ideologically distant as California and Quebec.
Based on the recent European experience, the problem with emissions trading is in the details, especially the administrative burden of establishing a functioning system. The complexities of validation and verification of the data takes a toll.
Amidst an entirely new industry of carbon brokerages and commissioned agents, and the unfortunate carousel fraud and computer phishing episodes that derailed the recent EU trading experience, the key question is, how do U.S. producers stack up in the arena of data quality?
To its credit, California, operating under its Air Resources Board, has delayed the compliance requirements of its proposed emissions Cap and Trade scheme until the beginning of 2013. As the highest volume cement producer in the U.S., other states will look West for leadership.
At the federal level, where Cap and Trade legislation faltered in Congress in 2009, the U.S. EPA has undertaken detailed analysis of industrial emissions across a range of operations and activities that compares favorably with anything that the Europeans have achieved, including the Germans who largely serve as the quality assurance benchmark within the European standards arena.
If U.S. concrete producers launch a full-blown emissions trading program, would the data stand up to scrutiny? If the focus falls on CO2 in the first instance, the answer would be probably not. The EPA's use of Emissions Factors for various gaseous releases (collectively entitled AP-42) grades the quality of the data available from operating facilities on a scale of A (highly credible and representative based on data from multiple sites ) to E ( highly randomized and statistically invalid based upon limited data sets.).
Within concrete production there is still too much uncertainty. Where the various Emissions Factors from combustion processes are well documented and consistently return an A-Grade for data quality, the same cannot be said for the various components of concrete production itself. CO2 emission factor ratings for portland cement production are classed as Grades D or E. Construction sand and gravel processing operations score a D, but CO2 data quality rises to a B for operations using a fluidized bed dryer.
Emissions Factors derived for processing lightweight aggregates score high for reliability with a minimum of Grade B for CO2 data, using the Fyrite method (chemical absorption). Using wet scrubber technology generally raises the grade to at least a B. The numbers of pulverized and crushed stone are not impressive (between Grade C and E) but does draw the distinction between 'controlled' and 'uncontrolled' emissions-a rather arbitrary 1.5 percent moisture content being the benchmark, typically derived from whether wet suppression was used to control.
Quality emissions data
It reflects far more upon the EPA than the industry itself that the highest quality of emissions data of all 14 industry groups is for batch concrete processing. The significance of wind speed and moisture levels in influencing emissions factors have been computed to levels of unprecedented precision using powerful statistical tools such as regression analysis. But all the high-class data are for particulates and controlled metals on all operations from silo-filling to truck-transfers, and nothing exists for any tradable commodity such as CO2 .
So even if U.S. concrete producers collectively get their CO2 emissions fully accountable, what would they face in terms of trade? Could ready-mix producers in Arkansas do an emissions deal with a counterpart in Canada or Mexico?
Looking at the U.S. experience, the key is to keep it simple. The fear of carbon leakage (offshoring production to unregulated jurisdictions) has been the reason for the issuing free allowances within some Cap and Trade schemes, most notably in the EU. Devaluation of the allowance price effectively rendered the European experiment an abject disaster, with an allowance price currently languishing in the area of EUR7 per tonne, and leaving little incentive for emitters to get too excited about trading .
What does seem certain, however, is that if and when CO2 trading gets underway in the U.S. heavy-emitting industries, there will be an element of auctioning in place. The very first U.K.-based emissions auction generated a lot of interest but relatively little participation.
U.S. participation so far has been comparatively successful. The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, targeting a 10 percent reduction in CO2 from coal-powered electricity production in the Northeast, auctioned off 100 percent of its allowances in the first and only round, with no free allowances dispensed. The success lay with an independent research company enlisted to do the necessary groundwork and design. The auction itself accounted for a tiny fraction of the time and budget allocated.
Every year, the U.S. completes sulfur dioxide auctions as part of the acid rain mitigation program, usually without a hitch. Extending the principles into a sectoral CO2 trading program, including concrete producers, should not be difficult once the data is verified for specific facilities. There is some way to go on that, however .
Would recycling concrete generate any credit in terms of greenhouse gas trading ? The EPA's own 2010 research is mired in uncertainty. According to the Construction Materials Recycling Association, about 140 million short tons of concrete are recycled annually in the U.S. Whether or not recycling cement actually rehydrates some cement and therefore delivers some benefit is equally undocumented.
The EPA's analysis did suggest that recycling concrete (reusing as crushed aggregate, as opposed to the use of 'virgin' mined aggregate) was about four times less harmful than landfilling used concrete, due entirely to transportation emissions in delivery to the landfill site.
Whether or not these emissions are offset, or foregone, by avoiding landfill, and generate tradable credit is a matter that the forestry industry has been wrestling with from the implications of land use change. This has kept delegates at the annual climate change conferences occupied for years. Perhaps now is the time to invite concrete producers to the next one.

LAKEWOOD, N.J. — The No. 29 Canisius baseball team won its opening game in the 2014 MAAC Championship with a 10-1 over Quinnipiac University at FirstEnergy Park on Wednesday evening. The top-seeded Golden Griffins extend the nation's longest winning streak to 17 games and improve to 39-14 on the season.
Canisius advances to the winners' bracket and will face the No. 3 seed Fairfield University at 3 p.m. on Friday.
Senior Jimmy Luppens went 3-for-5 with four RBI, including a homer and double. Sophomore Anthony Massicci was 3-for-4 with a double and triple to go along with three runs scored and three RBI. Junior Mike Krische also had three hits.
Quinnipiac (18-30) struck first and took advantage of two infield singles while using an RBI groundout from Vincent Guglietti to score a run in the top of the first inning. The Griffs came right back and answered in the bottom of the inning. Massicci worked a one-out walk, and Luppens crushed the 0-1 pitch over the fence in left-center to give Canisius a 2-1 lead. The Griffs scored an unearned run in the bottom of the second on an RBI single back up the middle from freshman Christ Conley.
Canisius plated three runs with two outs in the fourth, with senior Jose Torralba battling back from down 1-2 in the count to work a two-out walk. Massicci hit a two-out, two-RBI triple to the gap in left-center and Luppens followed with an RBI double off the wall in left-center on the next pitch to put Canisius up 6-1.
The Griffs chased Quinnipiac starter Justin Thomas in the bottom of the fifth as senior Shane Zimmer led off with a single and junior Jesse Puscheck followed with an RBI double to the gap in left center. Massicci had a two-out RBI single later in the inning and Luppens followed with a cue shot to second base. He beat out the infield single, with the ball getting away from the second baseman and allowing Torralba to score to make it 9-1. An RBI single from junior Connor Panas scored the Griffs' 10th run.
Junior Rohn Pierce (11-2) went six innings and allowed just one run on three hits while walking zero and striking out three. After the two infield hits to start the game, Pierce retired the next 17 batters. Senior Mike Tolsma and juniors Brandon Bielecki and Eric Stolzenburg each threw a scoreless inning of relief.
Notes: The 17-game winning streak is the longest in the country by any team at any point in 2014… The Griffs have scored nine or more runs in a season-high six straight games… Pierce has gone at least six innings in all 14 of his starts this season… Luppens has three or more hits in three of the last four games… Torralba has scored nine runs in the last five games.

He does not want it to look as if it is mass produced and would like it to better match the weathering on his armor & jetpack etc.
I am not completely redoing this helmet nor am I fixing the pinch, only adding to what is there and most importantly....
Fixing how the dent was painted!
MR didn't even get close when aligning the stencil over the dent.
Look how "off" that dent is. Anyone else have this same problem?
I masked off a small area and airbrushed the area I was gonna work with.
Then I masked where the dent is and sprayed that silver
Here is where it is now.
I still have a lot to do around the dent, but wanted to show the beginning.

The road to Greece…
posted at 9:50 am on November 8, 2012 by Erika Johnsen
So, this is what's happening in the country whose example we're slowly but willfully following. From the WSJ:
The rate of unemployment in Greece rose to a new record in August as the country prepares for a further round of austerity and another year of economic contraction in 2013.
Elstat, the Greek statistical agency, Thursday said the seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment increased to 25.4% from 24.8% in July and 18.4% in August 2011. That was just below the 25.5% unemployment rate recorded by Spain in the same month, the highest in the European Union.
As in other parts of the EU, young people are finding it particularly difficult to find and hold on to jobs. Elstat said that among those 24 years of age or younger, the unemployment rate rose to 58.0% from 45% in the same month last year, and is now the highest among the bloc's 27 members.
Don't worry, the intergalactic Space Germans will bail us out. Yay! Katy Perry!

Eric WernerClass of 2013 Working as a Dramaturgy/Literary Management Intern at Actors Theatre of Louisville
As a Dramaturgy/Literary Management Intern at Actors Theatre of Louisville, my favorite part about my job is that I never know what I'm going to be doing on any given day. I could be reading submissions to the National Ten Minute Play Festival, or researching 18th century English etiquette for a production of Tom Jones. I could be in a rehearsal room with five actors struggling to create a devised piece about a group of survivors after a post-apocalyptic atomic meltdown, or talking about different structures with a writer developing a new script. Sometimes all in the same day!
Now I know you're asking, "How on earth did an English major land a spot working in a theatre?" The response: I couldn't imagine doing my job coming from any other background. Over the course of four years of reading, talking about, and writing on some of the greatest works of literature, I honed the skills I now use everyday.
Through many rounds of drafting essays, I learned that writing is a process, and I learned to navigate that process. Part of what being a dramaturg means is being a Writing Advisor for a playwright as a script develops. I know firsthand that the masterpiece isn't going to come out on the first draft, and can act as a backboard for the playwright to work off of. In a more tangible way, I have to be able to read, understand, summarize, and evaluate a tremendous amount of scripts. Actors Theatre receives over 700 submissions of ten-minute plays alone, which my fellow intern and I get to log, read, and evaluate. Having five postage boxes filled with scripts really puts the hundreds of pages of Ulysses into perspective.
When we decide which plays to produce in a season, the dramaturg works with the director and producing team to provide a context for the play. This means a lot of research. This means boards filled with images of things that may exist in that world. This means actor packets that explain references and provide historical context for the people that have to perform the play. Good thing I've spent many a wee-hour of the morning in the 24-hour Computer Lab trying to find the perfect scholarly, peer-reviewed article for a paper due a few hours later.
Above all, this job requires that I come to a new script with genuine curiosity, an attitude that was instilled and encouraged at Wittenberg. As I sip my office coffee from my red English Major Mug each morning, I am reminded of the people, the institution, and the degree that got me here, and I am deeply grateful.

Greetings TDH Members,
As this is my first post, I figured I would add some value by posting some pics on connecting gauntlet buttons to a remote FOB for an RF servo. I hope this is helpful too some of you, because it freaked me out a little when I was trying not to cross solder the circuit board. lol
First, let me say that Jim at Hyperdyne Labs:* Security Entry Node is fantastic to work with and goes above and beyond for the client. I ordered just about all my electronics from him (excluding chest lights from TK-409) and it is all top quality. His RF servo is particularly easy to install and great quality. Here's a pic of my left gauntlet as supplied by Ruffkintoy. It turned out really well and Chuck at ruffkin did a great job. I just received it last week. I was able to use the switches that Chuck supplied with the gauntlet.
Attachment 60033
The Hyperdynelab servo controller FOB pictured below comes with the RF Transmitter/Receiver Kit that is designed to function with the Bounty Hunter Servo Controller Board, also from hyperdyne. With just a little care, you can take it apart by removing the small screw on the back underneath the sticker. When you have the back off of it, you can easily remove the circuit board and trace down the button solder points on the back.
Attachment 60034
In this pic I have connected new wires to the back of the servo board that coincide with the button placements on the front. Do not remove the buttons on the front of the board as you may damage it. (You will, however, want to remove the rubber press pad that covers the buttons so you don't accidentally press it while wearing the gauntlet.) We are simply bypassing them by adding new wires to the back of the board. All you need to do is heat up the original contact points and connect the new wire leads. (I did not need to use any additional solder for this part. This is good, because more solder means more likely to cross circuits.) This procedure allows the original buttons to remain in play and the LED to light upon making a proper connection. Keep your hand steady when you are installing the wires. Be sure to keep excess wire to a minimum around the contact points. This will allow you keep insulation to a minimum so the backing can go on easily. I used a table vice to keep the board steady as I connected the wires. I only exposed a few millimeters of wire to avoid crossing the circuit board. If you so this wrong then the FOB will either fry or stay on continuously. The LED will stay lit all the time if you've crossed the circuit, so be sure to check the LED prior to reassembly.
Attachment 60035
The pic below shows the wires coming from the FOB to the gauntlet buttons. I used solder and hot glue to insulate them inside the gauntlet. Use enough wire to enable you to remove the FOB and replace the batteries after you've worn them down with hours of RF stalk controlling fun.
Attachment 60039
Now all you have to do is replace the back of the FOB and use hot flue to keep the wires in place. Finally, use a little velcro and position the FOB inside the gauntlet.
Attachment 60036
And if you've done it all correctly, the LED will light up when you press the gauntlet buttons and transmit the signals to the receiver unit in the helmet.
Attachment 60038
Attachment 60037
And there you have it! The remote FOB is easily accessible and you can replace the battery when you want. Not to mention the extreme cool factor when you press the gauntlet buttons to drop the RF and set your target! I highly recommend this kit from Jim at Hyperdyne Labs:* Security Entry Node It's extremely easy to work with and small enough to fit into your gauntlet. Thank You Jim for creating a great product!! (BTW - I also ordered the Pro Trooper Voice Amp System and RF Light Kit from Hyperdyne and they are also top notch.)

Hey everyone!
I recently installed BT4 on my HP mininote and have run into a few problems.
First of all, my wireless (yes, a broadcom, i know how to fix that) and ethernet cards are not recognized.
My main problem is the Ethernet card. It is being recognized by lspci | grep -i net and it is a Marvel 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller.
My first thought was to look at Marvel website and download the driver for linux. that worked okay untill the install hit a step saying modpost was not in the kernel or something along those lines, and that I was supposed to rebuild the kernel with that enabled. However, when I checked the path with the modules directory, I did find the binary and source file for modpost...
Has anyone had the same problem as me, or does anyone know a fix / what to do? I have searched here before, but sadly I only found fixes for kernels < 184.108.40.206.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Best regards,

text: It works very well. She also sings it later, which I think makes it even more poignant- at this point in the movie, she has lived a truly horror-filled life, in the play, she sings it so much earlier, so it makes sense she isn't quite so angry and pissed, though I agree it is too pretty of a song for what its meaning is. Well, like I said- I was set for him to ruin the show for me, so I was happy he didn't. And HBC could act circles around most people. Besides- it was in character He's the lazy innkeeper, his wife does all the real work As for the conversation about poor direction choices- the camera work for Gatsby looks horrendous. Very Moulin Rouge like (which makes sense, same director). It did inspire me to re-read the book though, as I don't remember anything I saw in the preview being in the book. Just that the book was so boring, but I was also in high school.

6 Thermold 20 - Rd. Mags With 3 Maglocks - 1168463, 16 - 20 Rounds at Sportsman's Guide
one day only sale @ SMG six 20 rd thermelts mags for $$26.99
that works out to like $4.33 some odd change each.
this is very close to the pre-panic price -- i fact i think i bought a few of these from CDNN months before the panic for $4.59 each.
go to "retail me not" and find a $10 off discount code.
about the quality of these 20s well the three or four i got from CDNN work well enough , no jams and i have used them a bit.
i wouldn't want these to be my only mags in the sandbox but they should be ok for "range " mags.
now i have had some issues with the thermelts but they were the 30rd versions.
yea i know i said i wasn't gonna buy any more mags--LOL!

The Reverend Richard Kirker of the Anglican Church in England has been waging a fight for many decades to recognize the rights of gays and lesbians, but has decided to retire and allow others to continue the struggle for equal rights for fellow Christians. He has endeavored to promote torance and respect for gays and lesbians while directing the Gay and Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement. The Anglican Church has been torn apart by the fanatic anti-gay stance of Archbishop Peter Akinola of Nigeria who has become a world wide leader in the movement to suppress any gay rights in the church. Even Rowan Williams, the Archlbishop of Canterbury, has come out against the ordination by American Episcopalians of a gay bishop.
Anyone who engaged in such ongoing struggles for human rights is bound to become weary and a bit pessimistic as the forces of intolerance marshall their forces in pursuit of hatred. A fatigued Kirker noted: "The situation is appalling. Life for gay priests is immeasureably worse than when I s tarted doing this job because of the obsessive scrutiny of those who hate us." We suspect he underestimates the success that has been achieved over the past twenty years in pursuit of gay and lesbian rights. At least now, there are gay bishops and the Anglican Church is finally confronting the issue. Silence m ay be golden and peaceful, but it never results in action.
