San Francisco
It is the largest town on Formentera, and is stunningly beautiful because it is part of a rare occurrence where it has the Mediterranean on one side and two lakes on the other. Most official buildings of the island are found here, including the town hall, and the conservation efforts of the island are based here.
As Formentera has been designated a National Park, visitors are expected to adhere to the environmentally friendly restrictions that are in place. Much of the island is covered in Mediterranean pine trees and sand dunes that have board walks running through them. Salt mining was the only industrial activity that the island had, but that was eventually abandoned. The locals sustain themselves through tourism, agriculture and fishing. While you hire cars in San Francisco or ferry them from the mainland, it is easy to use bicycles or mopeds like the locals, as the island is quite flat and is more in keeping with the green culture. The two official languages are Catalan and Spanish. The beach culture has a bit of a hippy vibe, reminiscent of its past and you should be aware that clothing is optional on the beaches. Snorkelling is perfect here, as the waters are clear and quite calm most of the time.
San Francisco is just three kilometres inland from the port and is a good base even if you want to spend most of your time at the many beaches around Formentera. The town had inhabitants from before the 15th century, but by the 16th century the population dwindled because of pirates invading and looting the island frequently. The king of Spain began to give out land in the late 17th century to encourage new settlers to farm there. Till the early 18th century they populated the area around a 14th century chapel called Tanca Vella. They built a new church in 1726, called Church of St. Francis Xavier, which for a time also served as a fortress against marauding pirates that were still present in those days. There were cannons on the roof and residents of the town took shelter in the church. The main area of the church is rectangular and attached to the parish residence. Inside the church is a Byzantine-style alabaster baptismal font that dates back to the fifth century. Some believe that it originates from a Vandal monastery that may have been situated in the La Mola market area.
The houses in the vicinity of the church were called Poble de Formentera. Opposite the church stand the post office and town hall. The lively church square is the main meeting place of the town's inhabitants and the sidewalks are filled with quaint cafes, shops and local craftsmen. Near the church are the Miranda flour mills where you can get a panoramic view of much of the island. There is a small Ethnological Museum that exhibits local artefacts. They also hold tasting sessions of local cuisine.
Outside San Francisco, you can visit a lighthouse from the 18th century, the ruins of a Roman settlement, a megalithic tomb consisting of stone dolmen in a circle and thought to be from 1800 to 1600 B.C., prehistoric remains from several caves, and the surround national park.
When looking for souvenirs, you can choose from jewellery, ceramics and artwork, and clothes and accessories. Local handmade crafts are also available. The la Mola market is the best place to do your shopping. Fish and seafood cooked Catalan style is the predominate cuisine here. Try Formentera cheese, which is good and with bread and fruit, and Frígola, a sweet drink made on the island.
Hotels in San Francisco are usually cheaper than the resorts close to the beaches. When booking hotel stay, keep in mind that summer is a busy tourist season for the island, so San Francisco hotels can get full early. Most hotels are 2 and 3 star. There are also several apartment buildings that rent out apartments for short stays.

An expansion of Terry?
The course of true love never runs smooth, and neither does the 4th Amendment. That was clear after the oral argument Tuesday in Arizona v. Johnson, the Supreme Court's latest foray into that thicket.
The case stemmed from a traffic stop: a random license plate check revealed a vehicle had an insurance suspension, so the police pulled it over. This was a "gang-related area," and one of the passengers in the car made the officer especially nervous. After asking him a few questions, she requested that he get out of the car, patted him down, and found a gun.
If we were talking about this happening to the driver, it would be pretty simple. Under Terry, stop-and-frisk is a two-step process: a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity warrants a stop, and a reasonable suspicion that the suspect is armed and dangerous justifies a frisk. There was a reasonable basis for the stop, so the only remaining question would be the reasonableness of the officer's belief that the suspect was armed.
Except the suspect was a passenger. When the case was first argued in the Arizona appeals court, Johnson argued that since he, as a passenger, had nothing to do with the cause for the vehicle being stopped, the officer's dealings with him were a "consensual encounter," and a consensual encounter doesn't give rise to a right to frisk, regardless of the suspicions of the office about whether the suspect is armed.
The Arizona court would have bought that, except that in the interim, the Supreme Court decided Brendlin v. California. In that case, the defendant passenger was arrested by the police after an unlawful traffic stop, but the California Supreme Court held that just because the vehicle he was in was stopped didn't mean he was "seized" in the constitutional sense. The US Supreme Court unanimously reversed, essentially saying, "What are you, nuts?" (My post about Brendlin here.)
Which brings us back to Johnson. The Arizona appeals court obviously couldn't go with the "consensual encounter" routine anymore; Brendlin held that the traffic stop constituted a seizure -- a stop, in Terry terms -- of the passenger. But that's exactly what they did, holding that by virtue of the fact that the officer's conversation with Johnson had nothing to do with the reasons for the stop, that conversation had devolved into a consensual encounter, and with the end of the seizure came the end of the right to frisk.
The Supreme Court granted cert on the specific question of whether, in a traffic stop for a minor violation, the police can frisk a passenger even though they don't have any reason to believe he's engaged in criminal activity. By the time argument rolled around, though, Arizona and the US Justice Department, as amicus, decided to go all-in, arguing that whether there was a stop or a seizure was immaterial: the police should have the right to frisk anyone they reasonably believe is armed and dangerous, regardless of whether they have any reason to believe the person's engaged in criminal activity.
That position met with a fairly hostile reception during the argument on Tuesday. (Interestingly, the US solicitor pursued it with much more ardor than the state attorney general did.) Kennedy, Ginsburg, Souter and Stevens openly expressed doubts, with Stevens labeling it "a rather extreme position," and Justice Souter describing it as "a pretty wide-open standard in the real world." Even Alito seemed to be somewhat taken aback by it, and tried to nudge the government's attorneys back toward the traffic stop.
On the other hand, everybody, especially Breyer, had a problem with Johnson's lawyer's argument that the officer's dealings with Johnson were consensual. In a consensual encounter, of course, the suspect is perfectly free to walk away. That was actually the state's argument in Brendlin: that the stop of the vehicle meant that the driver was seized, but the passengers were still free to leave. The Court rightly noted the impracticality of that view in the real world. A passenger is in fact tied in with the vehicle; if you're a passenger in a car stopped on I-71 halfway to Columbus, being "free" to get out and hoof it back to Cleveland isn't a viable option.
So what's going to happen? I doubt if the Court's going to accept the government's position that Terry should be split, and that all a police officer needs to justify a frisk is a reasonable suspicion that the suspect is armed and dangerous. In the context of a traffic stop, though, that's essentially what will happen. Why? First, because the Court has clearly indicated that a stop can be justified by the most minor traffic violation. Most people would not equate a loud muffler with criminal activity, but for 4th Amendment purposes they are. What's more, what the Court seemed to be edging toward in the argument on Johnson is applying the flip side of Brendlin to the passenger situation. In Brendlin, the Court held that a passenger was "seized" for 4th Amendment purposes by the stop of the vehicle; in Johnson, they may well hold that that seizure satisfies the first step in the Terry analysis.
The fairness of that result is open to dispute. After all, if a driver has a loud muffler, that's hardly the passenger's fault. There is a certain logic to it, though; if the passenger stands in the same shoes as the driver for purposes of detemining the legality of the stop, then the passenger also stands in the same shoes as the driver for the purposes of determining the legality of a subsequent frisk. And one thing the Court had consistently demonstrated is a concern for police officer safety in the traffic stop context. In fact, I'd be somewhat surprised if it was a close decision in that regard. It's possible that the Court will remand the case for a determination of whether the officer's suspicion that Johnson was armed was reasonable, because there's a legitimate question about that, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Court simply upholds the search.
It may be that the courts will apply this stringently, but it may also turn out that concern over police safety will lead the courts to rubberstamp virtually any frisk, even when the "reasonable suspicion" of the presence of a weapon is ephemeral at best; that is one area where the line between "reasonable suspicion" and "inchoate hunch" becomes especially blurred. The latitude that upholding the search in Johnson would give police officers is probably best summarized by Souter's comment in oral argument, noting Ben Franklin's observation that "it's great to be a reasonable person because you can think of a reason for anything you do."

Price: FREE Score: 9/10 By M. Schusterman
The fiscally minded like to have fun too…right? If counting cash and honing your consumer skills sound like a good time, the brain-teasing games featured on Cash IQ might be perfect for you. For more right-brained folks like me, it's more like an exercise in working out the sadly neglected left side.
Created by FISHLABS Advertainment (and American Express), this free app offers four games with several levels, each of which has you counting, balancing, shopping and earning "cashback bonuses." The graphics are great, and the music is actually nice, although you can opt to listen to your iPod music in Settings if you prefer.
From the main menu, you can select either "Classic" or "Brain Strain" mode. Classic gives you three of the four mini-games, randomly selected, with the goal of scoring as much as you can within the time limit. In "Brain Strain" mode, you'll play all four. If you fail a level you move on to the next game, but you must complete all four before given your total score.
"Flip & Pin" might be my favorite of the games – the concept is pretty unique. Your screen becomes a grid with a highlighted area, and a few tetris-looking shapes lying around. Flip the shapes around the grid by tilting your phone with the goal of perfectly covering the highlighted area. You can use pins to pin down a shape once it's covering a portion of the area. This one is fun to play when trying to beat the clock.
"Shopping List" takes me back to my memory card days of elementary school. Watch items move down a conveyor belt, then try and remember which order you saw them.
"Check Your Balance" and "Beat the Bank" are the more mathematical games. With "Check Your Balance," you have a seesaw and a collection of grocery bags, each with a different number. Balance the seesaw by splitting the bags on either end, creating an equal numerical "weight." And "Beat the Bank" is straight up money counting – watching a selection of numbers fall into your piggy banks and add them up, then subtract whatever falls out. Enter in the remaining total before the clock runs out.
Cash IQ has a live leaderboard and is compatible with Facebook, so you can get competitive with others. Considering the quality of the games and the unarguably great price, I'd recommend this one for brain teaser fans.
Cash IQ [iTunes Link] requires iPhone OS 3.1.2 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. A small expedite fee was paid by the developer to speed up the publication of this review.

Yarndale was a much anticipated addition to the wool festival line-up over here, so much so that there where far more visitors to the show than I think the organisers anticipated. Not to gloss over the problems with parking, toilets and disabled access but none of them impacted on me directly and I know that they are being taken into consideration for the future of the show, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I hope it becomes a regular event.
I took the train over to Skipton on the Saturday morning and decided to walk up to the Auction Market through the park so I got to see all the fabulous yarn bombing that Lucy had organised (for more photos see Lucy's blog, Attic24)
Once I got in I had a slow mooch round taking in everything that was there as best I could as it was starting to get very busy, too busy for me to take many photo's unfortunately. But I did get ones of the alpaca's and angora bunnies.
Finally a shot of what must have been the iconic shot of Yarndale, the bunting strewn entrance (again more on Attic24)
As summer was treating us to a final flurish last weekend, we took the children down to the Middleton Railway on the Sunday for a ride and then for walk in Middleton Woods.

Always check the chicken run to be sure it's empty before securing the door at night. While my flock's pop door automatically closes after dusk, had I not checked the run to be sure it was clear, this opossum would have been locked inside, waiting for my flock in the morning.
Raccoons are very adept at unlatching simple locks and turning basic door handles. Locks requiring multiple steps to unlatch are more secure plan than a hook-and-eye style lock. Spring locks and barrel-style locks are recommended.
- Decoy animals (owls, coyotes)
- Music, talk radio
- Pinwheels, bird scare tape, mirrors, disco ball, hanging CDs (shiny things are purported to deter hawks, but I have not found these things to be effective. They can't hurt though, so there's no harm in trying.)
- Predator urine- deters predators based upon the scent of their natural predator
- Hawk Stopper visual deflection netting
- Electric poultry fencing
- Predator deterrent systems, such as The Yard Sentinel.(shown above) The best ones will have multiple layers of protection, including motion sensors, lights (red, blinking & motion-activated) and alarms.

The writer's life can be an odd undertaking, generally waffling between moments of euphoria and despair, then back again in seconds. If my editor could edit my life the way she does my books, I think we'd both be happier.
The euphoria comes when the words flow, the characters cooperate, and the dialogue smacks as realistic.
The despair comes when the opposite happens.
However, a deadline is generally looming, so I can't curl into a fetal position and watch TV. I have to keep moving on.
It's at those times, I turn to my growing list of motivational quotes.
I share some favorites here for everyone, not just my writer friends. Why? Because any creative undertaking can require motivation and encouragement, and we're ALL blessed with some sort of talent.
- I write for the same reason I breathe-because if I didn't, I would die. – Isaac Asimov
- A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit. – Richard Bach
- We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out. – Ray Bradbury
- You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it. – Neil Gaiman
- Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand. – George Orwell
- Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere. – Anne Lamott
- Start early and work hard. A writer's apprenticeship usually involves writing a million words (which are then discarded) before he's almost ready to begin. That takes a while. – David Eddings
- Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer. – Barbara Kingsolver
- If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. – Toni Morrison
- You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance. – Ray Bradybury
- If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. I'd type a little faster. – Isaac Asimov
- When asked, 'How do you write?' I invariably answer, 'one word at a time.' -Stephen King
- To write something, you have to risk making a fool of yourself. – Anne Rice
- Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards. – Robert Heinlein
- Not that the story need be long, but it will take a long while to make it short. – Henry David Thoreau
- And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. – Sylvia Plath
- Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. – Mark Twain
- Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. – Albert Einstein
- How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live. – Henry David Thoreau
- Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any. – Orson Scott Card
- Prose is architecture, not interior decoration. – Ernest Hemingway
- It's none of their business that you have to learn to write. Let them think you were born that way. – Ernest Hemingway
- A blank piece of paper is God's way of telling us how hard it to be God. – Sidney Sheldon
- You can't learn anything from experiences you're not having. – Louis L'Amour
- People on the outside think there's something magical about writing, that you go up in the attic at midnight and cast the bones and come down in the morning with a story, but it isn't like that. You sit in back of the typewriter and you work, and that's all there is to it. – Harlan Ellison
- I went for years not finishing anything. Because, of course, when you finish something you can be judged. – Erica Jong
- Keep on beginning and failing. Each time you fail, start all over again, and you will grow stronger until you have accomplished a purpose…not the one you began with perhaps, but one you'll be glad to remember. – Anne Sullivan Macy
- If you wait for inspiration to write; you're not a writer, you're a waiter. – Dan Poynter
- Mistakes are the portals of discovery. – James Joyce
- Be like a postage stamp. Stick to it until you get there. – Harvey MacKay
- Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits. – Thomas A. Edison
- It is never too late to become what you might have been. – George Elliot
- An obstacle is something you see when you take your eye off the goal. – Sam Horn
- If you want something you never had, you must be willing to do something you have never done. – Bill Gates
- I never grow a wishbone where a backbone ought to be. – Clementine Paddleford
- I don't waste time thinking, "Am I doing it right?" I say, "Am I doing it?" – Georgette Mosbacher
—If you haven't had a chance to check out my book series, The Crossing Trilogy, I hope you will! The first book, Crossing into the Mystic, can be ordered through your local bookstore, or via Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Book #2, Edging through the Darkness, will be released May 2015.

GTD & BlackBerry Guide is now available
Date: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 by GTD Times Staff
We are pleased to announce the release of a resource that many of you have been asking for: a GTD & BlackBerry Guide. A few of us are now on BlackBerry as our portable solution and we put together a Guide on the best GTD tips, tricks, and practices for making your BlackBerry rock for GTD.
It's chock-full of 45 pages of
iPhone user and BlackBerry user) and will create a Guide as soon as I feel confident we have something solid to recommend for Tasks.
17 Responses to "GTD & BlackBerry Guide is now available"
Hi Kelly, when you do write up something for iPhone please consider avoiding the range of tools that insists on synching via an internet based server in the 'cloud' which for me (and many I am sure) restricts what is allowed to be entered because it is in breach of our company security guidelines and means that it cannot be complete as a system. (wow that's a long sentence).
@Peter Robinson:
Because of Apple restrictions on USB data transfer, insisting on "no-cloud" apps will limit you to apps that do local network wireless syncing. This really limits your choice of apps, and most people stuck with it dislike it a lot (Things from culturedcode comes to mind). It is also approximately as secure as synching to the cloud. Probably less so, because it puts a burden on users to determine how secure a local network (home, hotel, coffee shop) is. A well-designed cloud app will be more secure.
I'm new to GTD, listen to the audio stuff a lot in the car and I am STILL trying to find a manageable solution that is quick to use but doesn't require lots of cross app sync's between locations.
If you sort a good solution out for the iPhone that covers the process simply for people new to GTD then I'll give you my first born!
I'm testing actually Pocket Informant for the Iphone with outlook and Windows XP and it looks good so far. It has a desktop sync which allows to sync outside the cloud. The sync is still in beta and I guess it will take some time until everything works stable.
This is not meant as advertizing as just my 50 cents to the iPhone topic.
I am passionate about my iphone. really want it to be GTD friendly…have you thought about checking out one of the task apps and then writing a nice little guide? so far I am too afraid to add one for fear it will make life more complicated
Hello Lynne,
I'd love to write a guide for iPhone users. I continue to gather info on this. If only iPhone came with Tasks, this would be a non-issue! So it's just been a bit trickier for us because it requires people to install and/or buy something else to make Tasks works.
It's not for lack of effort on our side that we haven't created one. It's because we have not found a PC version that we can wholeheartedly recommend yet, based on what's a pretty extensive vetting process for us.
Just wanted to explain more of this as people often write to us upset/wondering/confused that we have not created an iPhone Guide yet. There's a bit more involved, but I promise we're looking in on this.
Pocket Informant is not usable yet for iPhone users. I've been trying for over a week and it randomly sets appointments to a different time zone. I had an email from the company this morning that they are aware of it and hope to have it fixed in the next release. I would not suggest trying it until then. The synchronization process is also cumbersome and very confusing.
@mcogilvie yes I agree it is probably true that a cloud application can be equally or more secure but that doesn't change the security requirements my company imposes and I know of other companies that do too. Nothing on a host 'out there'.
Pocket Informant is half of my GTD solution. It has been flawless for me for over a year. The other app I rely on is Action Lists.
PI works for me because I only rely on its excellent calendar function. All date/time-specific actions go on the calendar. In short I love the calendar because it is easy to set up and quick to implement in the field, for instance at the doctor's office scheduling a new appointment. It has a great "weekly" view that other calendars have ignored. Its setting up alarms and repeated actions are simple and flexible. I actually change my furnace filter before it becomes plugged with an inch of dirt.
The other half of my GTD solution, an app called Action Lists, is right next to my PI calendar app. Any action not time specific, goes here. There are five main folders, always available at the screen's bottom. I'm in the Actions folder most of the time.
Adding an action is very quick and easy. Hit a + icon, type in your action, and then you can also click Contexts and link your action to a context, for example @Phone.
Besides the Actions main folder, there is an InBox, Projects, Waiting, and Someday? Pure GTD. You can create a project folder by name, and thereafter link any action, be it a phone call, errand, etc., to that project. Easy, fast, efficient way of handling the Projects vs. Next Actions challeng.
So, for me, I was a GTD wanna be who failed using paper. With these two apps, Pocket Informant and Action Lists, along with camera, voice recorder, notes, etc., I am at long last at ease with my GTD tools. I don't need to strain for a better way. Thanks in great part to these two apps, I feel closer to the mind-like-water peace DA talks about.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Toodledo in these comments (www.toodledo.com). It has a reasonably agile web app component as well as an offline-capable, self-contained iPhone/iPad app. They also have 3rd party apps that have been developed for both Blackberry (Taskjot) and Android (Got 2 Do) that provide similar features to the iOS version. I have yet to find a combination that allows for a comprehensive GTD view of my life (from the web app) and the ability to take the entirety of my GTD methodology with me for near ubiquitous idea/action/project capture on my mobile device wherever I am.
Dear Kelly
Do you at David Allen Company has any guides for replication of my Lotus Notes to and from a Nokia phone, or links to apps that will enhance the performance of my Nokia?
Kind regards
Hi Chris,
No, we don't have anything for Nokia at this point. We actually don't come across it too often.
I haven't seen any comments about OmniFocus. With their apps for Mac, iPhone and iPad and the ability to sync all three, it seems like a very systematic setup. I'm just starting with GTD and would appreciate any input from users that have tried or use this setup.
This post is specifically about BlackBerry, that's why OmniFocus is not mentioned. But if you do a search on GTD Times, you will find many, many posts on OmniFocus, iPad and iPhone.
Llamagraphics has an iPhone app (Life Balance) that is easily adapted to GTD.
Thanks for your BlackBerry guide. It is great! One thing I find hard to accept about the BlackBerry calendar is that it does not sort alphabetically the day-specific actions. I usually type the category so the day-specific actions are grouped (e.g. OFFICE: do expense report). It works great in MS Outlook, but without alphabetic sorting, it is useless in the BlackBerry calendar. Is anybody aware of any way to make this work?
Great guide thanks.
Some personal notes as a BIS user. BES users can access subfolders in email and sync wirelessly. BIS users should look at Google.
With Gmail I can wirelessly sync Contacts and Calendar. All your emails can be remotely searched and read.
Gmail Labels = Folders so I can also "file" emails to 'Action', 'Waiting for' or just 'Archive' if I responded to a less than 2 minute email.
Unfortunately I still need to sync wired for Tasks on my Mac to sync contexts.
I made my own "GTD" BlackBerry 9700 theme which is easy in the free Theme Builder from RIM. My theme removed the latest and loudest notification icons as suggested in the guide.
BlackBerry is my capture device and the $20 'Next Action' app by S4BB.com reduces clicks.
I also use the free OnToCalendar app. It lets me put contacts, emails, SMS, missed calls, etc, onto my Calendar OR onto a Task with the body saved in the notes field.
Currently OS6 for BlackBerry is a step backwards for GTD productivity, IMHO. It makes searching remote emails a three click procedure instead of one. Adding a missed call to OnToCalendar with OS6 requires a workaround. And 3rd party apps like Next Action are not OS6 compliant.

T-shirt Printers-Getting the Best Designed T-shirts for Yourself
Posted: Mar 20, 2017
Diverse strategies can be utilized to print your shirt outline onto your T-shirt, and obviously, they create distinctive outcomes. In this article, we look at screen printing and advanced shirt printing, and the advantages and disadvantages of every one, to help you pick the most ideal approach to make your fantasy shirt.
Screen printing for shirts
In an event that you had an enterprising craftsmanship instructor at school, you may have attempted a straightforward form of screen imprinting in which a layout for each shade of your outline makes the spaces where the ink can be squeezed onto the texture. A similar guideline for t-shirt printers in surrey applies in expert shirt screen printing, in spite of the fact that there is more towards the real printing once the set-up has been finished.
Advanced printing
This is now and again called "direct to article of clothing advanced printing" or essentially DTG. This procedure includes the use of material water-based inks to the shirt utilizing a specific advanced printer. The outline is generally settled onto the article of clothing with a warmth press.
Picking the best shirt printing system
While considering which system to decide for a shirt print run, many individuals ask which gives the best quality wrap up. Truth be told, the best procedure relies on upon the shirt outline you need to print, as some are more qualified to every strategy. It likewise relies on upon the hues you are printing and the shade of the base piece of clothing as well.
The best T-shirt plans for screen printing
Striking plans with thick lines and few hues are most appropriate to screen printing, delivering top notch comes about. In an event that you are utilizing an advanced picture with fine shading mixing or highly contrasting shading in your shirt configuration, screen printing will just not have the capacity to duplicate the picture well.
Obviously, different components will impact the cost of your shirt run, for example, the number being delivered, particularly as screen printing involves all the more setting up before printing can start. The quantity of hues in the plan likewise influences the cost as an alternate screen is required for each shade.
In an event that your T-shirt configuration is moderately straightforward, screen printing may well be the best choice as it creates a brilliant wrap up. Numerous in the shirt printing industry keep up that the best energy of shading must be created by screen printing. The solidness of screen printed shirts taking after various wears and washes is likewise thought to be the best, obviously, the nature of inks utilized and the base piece of clothing will likewise be a component.
The best T-shirt plans for computerized printing
Propels in printing innovation have enhanced the complete of carefully printed shirts colossally over late years. In the event that you attempted it a couple of years back and were baffled by observing spots in your plan, don't give it a chance to dishearten you now. Present day computerized shirt printing machines deliver better completes now, with preferred sturdiness over ever some time recently.
In an event that you are utilizing a photo or complex, multi-shaded picture in your shirt plan, advanced printing is the approach as it can duplicate photorealistic outlines. Likewise, it's the less expensive alternative In an event that you just need few shirts created as the set-up expenses are lower.
One essential element to consider with advanced printing is the shade of the base piece of clothing, as for the most part that shading is the most noticeable in the plan, and accordingly, best impacts are accomplished utilizing white shirts when printing a multi-hued outline. Just the absolute best DTG shirt printers might have the capacity to get phenomenal outcomes with dark or dim shaded shirts. Printing white ink can in any case be risky, so abstaining from utilizing DTG shirt printing for outlines that contain considerable white territories, particularly on dull base pieces of clothing, is an insightful decision.
To put it plainly, if your outline is basic and has few hues, by and large screen printing is the technique to settle on, yet might be more costly for a little print run. In the event that the configuration of t-shirt printers in surrey includes many hues and photorealistic pictures, then advanced printing ought to be your first decision. Obviously, the best shirt printing organizations will be glad to give you guidance on what is best for your necessities.

12.02.2017 - Maggie Gyllenhaal, Paul Verhoeven, moderated by Peter Cowie
Tackling our main theme of this year, jury president Paul Verhoeven and jury member Maggie Gyllenhaal kick off this edition of Berlinale Talents. Working since the 1970s between the Netherlands and Hollywood, between art house and blockbuster, Dutch director and screenwriter Verhoeven (Elle) has redefined the conventions of genre filmmaking, in particular science fiction (Total Recall) and the erotic thriller (Basic Instinct). Playing the masochistic lead of the 2002 black comedy Secretary launched the career of American actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, who over the next decade would rise from indie queen to Hollywood A-list, lauded with a Golden Globe and a nomination for the Academy Award. From depictions of onscreen intimacy to the pitfalls of navigating an unforgiving industry, the two reflect on their most courageous moments.
A film historian and former International Publishing Director of Variety magazine, Peter Cowie has written more than 30 books on major figures and eras of world cinema, including Bergman, Welles, Coppola and Kurosawa. He published and edited the annual International Film Guide for 40 years, and has contributed numerous commentaries to Criterion's DVD collection. He has been a consultant to Berlinale Talents since the programme's inception in 2003.

Filipino, Indian, American Fusion
Laura and Ben captured the essence of both their Indian and Filipino heritages in their American-style wedding at Estancia La Jolla. The festivities began with a traditional Indian Baraat, or joyful procession of the groom and his family through the hotel grounds, accompanied by a drummer. To embrace Laura's Filipino traditions, a veil covered both the bride and groom during the ceremony, and they also exchanged coins to symbolize their mutual support of each other, their future children, and the community. The guests enjoyed tote bag favors, the sounds of an all-female folk-rock band during the reception, and a delicious dessert table with custom cake toppers to portray the couple.

"WFMU, you're on the air."
With that simple phrase, delivered honestly and expectantly, host Tom Scharpling starts most of the phone calls in to his Best Show on WFMU (iTunes link here). The voice that chirps up is often idiosyncratically familiar, one of a cast of regulars checking in to offer their opinion on topics that Scharpling, in his singular style, has offered his own stance on. In a recent August 16, 2011 episode, old people stealing cookies at the buffet earned a ten-minute lambasting. Callers also take some of Scharpling's mild ribbing in exchange for a chance to catch Scharpling and fellow listeners up on the comings and goings of a cadre of musicians, comedians, and fellow regualars that make up a lion's share of the content on the three-hour weekly program. Often celebrity friends of the show call in for a bit of comedic ramble. Folks like Patton Oswalt, Zack Galifianakis, Paul F. Tompkins, and John Hodgman.
Scharpling openly derides some of his non-famous callers. The nasal-voiced curmudgeon Spike, who uses every opportunity to hype John Wesley Shipp, the star of The Flash television series, and the awkward if game "James from Southwest PA," whose cell phone connection is often as wavering as his tone, take their share of abuse. Another category of participants enjoy the "quality caller" label, and they tell jokes and cheer Scharpling up when his tone sags under the weight of the decade of unpaid three-hour weekly gigs with famous guests and the "mirth, music, and mayhem" that he promises at every outset. These callers, giggling ladies earning their Master's degrees and hipster dudes in Brooklyn, urge Scharpling back on to the conversations that are the heart of the show, like the buffet discussion, and his stories of pinball in Asbury Park, that remind me, at least, that regional culture is still one of the strongest American forces, made stronger by those who don't necessarily leave home. Home is a topic close to me, that being the place I've just recently returned to.
In sum, the Best Show is a three-hour comedy program that is at once an old school radio outpost, a community radio phenomenon, and the product of the online age of digital media and RSS technology. Tom Scharpling started a radio show on the independent station WFMU out of Jersey City, New Jersey, around 2000. Either WFMU already streamed live on the Internet, or they started to, and the show built an audience beyond the traditional broadcast region in New Jersey. Then, according to Wikipedia, Scharpling and Co. began distributing the show via podcast around 2006. The show is rooted in the region, with much conversation surrounding local shows and field trips to nearby points of interest. The only way to relate to a huge number of people is to be as specific as possible. I am very surprised, for example, that I enjoy Scharpling's discussion of Jersey tourist outposts, but without them he wouldn't be Scharpling. As I drive around Houston, scanning the buildings, street corners, and alleyways that I've haunted since my youth, Scharpling reminds me that it's not a crime to stick around.
I can't recall how I was turned onto The Best Show. Probably a confluence of commentary from those who have been influenced by it mentioning the show frequently enough for me to seek it out in podcast form. Like many, I started with the latest episodes, got hooked on the vocabulary of the show, on Scharpling's palette of quips–my favorite being "Heave ho" to those callers who earn themselves a hang-up–and DJ tricks–my favorite being the way he intentionally cuts off the final syllable of every caller, be they welcomed or heave hoed. Scharpling, who I heard from him an interview somewhere took his style cues from the bombastic, bull-headed, egotistical talk radio show hosts of an earlier era1–the influence of prototypical radio prankster and manipulator Phil Hendrie is ubiquitous if subconscious–commands the air, one minute heaping praise on his favorite regular callers and another minute bellowing self-aggrandizing testaments to his own brilliance.
Comic routines staged as phone calls from the absurd panoply of characters performed by Scharpling's comedy partner John Wurster intermingle with phone calls from the regulars and interviews with celebrity guests. The show rolls along like a social evening until the sun has set and a sense of calm comes with Scharpling's introduction of Solid Gold Hell, the show that follows his. The endorphin glow of intermittent laughter and aural satisfaction fades into the night. The experience is a complete one, with rounded corners.
All of this in the name of comedy, and it really is brilliant. Scharpling, by being hilarious and doggedly pursuing the comedy that he enjoys, the comedians that he likes, and the callers that stir him in whatever manner that they do, has done what great artists do, what community does: he has engineered a creative universe. A universe to me is metaphysical "place" where the players and their interactions and communications follow certain rules that drive somewhat predictable outcomes that simultaneously leave room for spontaneous outbursts that are original within those rules. The successful creative universe is rich, dense, and inhabitable. Scharpling's show, all ten years of unquantifiable nuance, conversation, character, and comedy, is the rare creative universe whose bounds are out of sight, suggesting a real universe in that the edges are obscured and anything seems possible. I could say the word "yogurt" and suspect without knowing for sure that the topic has been covered somewhere in The Best Show universe.
Enter baseball. There's not a direct connection between The Best Show and the best game (Scharpling is, in fact, a major basketball fan and an experienced basketball writer). But baseball is a creative universe just like The Best Show. I've called it "the baseball multiverse" in the past as a way of trying to put to a term the multi-faceted face of baseball and the variety of ways that we consume, absorb, digest, and exude baseball by watching games, reading blogs, writing articles, playing ourselves, etc. Whatever the entry point or exit point, baseball contains the characters and the rules, the backstory and the breaking news, the boundaries and ultimately the limitlessness of a creative universe. The basic rules of the game and the playing surface establish the baseline of experience, but the human possibilities are endless, and those of us who engage with the game understand the possibilities without knowing the limits.
And therein lies the draw. As soon as one understands the limitations of a system, of a creative universe, the desire to engage that universe diminishes. One quick example would be that of the team eliminated from playoff contention. When the season is set and the results mathematically determined, you may as well move on to football season.2 Hence the joy and wonder of Spring Training and the first game of the season, as those are the times when the uncertainty–the sheer possibility–is heightened, when a Dbacks fan or a Pirates fan can dream about contention.
On the micro scale, each baseball game is a universe, too, just like an individual episode of The Best Show. Each new game adds to and draws from the collective mythology of baseball, and presents the opportunity to witness something entirely novel and entirely knowable. A baseball game is both self-contained and all-containing. As Patrick put it in his recent essay, Why I Write (About Baseball): "The game is something that connects all of us, forms a framework by which we can develop other ideas about the world as a whole."
This sucker is the alpha and the omega.
As I've mentioned, I recently returned to Houston, Texas, and rededicated myself to the Houston Astros and my Astros blog, Foamer Night. Through the pretty deliberate means of starting an entire blog on the topic, I am throwing myself into the Astros universe in much the same way I threw myself into The Best Show universe by listening to back episodes of the show, researching Tom and his friends, reading his Tweets and those of his guests and friends, watching for his credits as a writer on Monk, and generally surrounding myself with the mythology of the show. And there I find the same satisfactions as I watch the young Astros day after day. The excellence of Wandy Rodriguez when he's clicking is the ultimate Houstonian's inside joke; the exuberant cut of rookie third baseman Jimmy Paredes' jib brings a smile as though it was the familiar voice of a comedian with no new album to pitch; a slider low in the zone rather than one hanging like a pair of undies on the line marks incremental improvement for a young pitcher to the attentive fan. These are the planetary bodies and celestial citizens that occupy the creative universe of the Houston Astros.
The seeds of this idea were sewn long before Eric's last post, though I think it goes without saying that I am thrilled to learn that Scharpling will participate in The Classical alongside Eric, Bethlehem Shoals, and many other friends of Pitchers & Poets.

As a member of Joshua Tree tour support act Lone Justice, Maria McKee met Frank Sinatra with U2, partied with Clash legend Mick Jones and provided inspiration for a mooted Bono film script.
Lone Justice were one of several acts who supported U2 on their record-breaking Joshua Tree tour, which first criss-crossed America before triumphantly heading to Europe. Having emerged from LA's burgeoning cow-punk scene, they blended country-rock with punk to forge an exciting roots rock sound. Later, the band's singer Maria McKee would go on to enjoy a successful solo career both as a songwriter – penning hits like Fergal Sharkey's 'A Good Heart' – and as a performer, scoring a UK number one with the ballad 'Show Me Heaven'.
But back then, Lone Justice were another young band hungry for success. The group had already played US dates on the Unforgettable Fire tour and were friends of U2 when the upwardly mobile Dubliners asked to join the band on the Joshua
Tree trek. Strangely enough, McKee says she wasn't a huge U2 fan initially.
"Well, it's kind of complicated," she begins. "Lone Justice formed as a sort of reaction to post-punk and new wave – that kind of cleancut, post-Bowie, new romantic pop that was around at the time. We were into roots rock and country and hillbilly and all that stuff. Shaping it into something new with a punk energy was our main thing. We would have appreciated U2 as musicians but to us they were almost in that MTV/ new wave category, so I wouldn't have paid that much attention to them, and I would have seen them as part of the old guard."
However, once McKee saw them in concert she was smitten, as she relates.
"When they first invited us to tour with them we went to see them play and I thought 'wow you know, respect', because their live show was so otherworldly. And Bono's voice was just incredible, he would truly soar. It was operatic, almost high church, reverential and transformative. So absolutely, I became a fan. I was raised in a Christian church and they were outspokenly Christian so there was that connection too."
In total, Lone Justice opened for U2 57 times and, as McKee recalls, some nights were more memorable than others.
"I'll never forget the time we played in Las Vegas. There's a famous comedian, Don Rickles, one of the funniest people who ever lived, and his son Larry, who is no longer with us, was a big U2 fan. He arranged for the band to come and see Frank Sinatra perform in a small room – I think it was at Caesar's Palace and Don Rickles was supporting Frank at the time. So we all went along and saw Frank up-close in this tiny, tiny venue.
All the U2 guys were there and Frank was making wisecracks onstage about U2 submarines or something. But I think he knew that this band was big and that they were on a big tour at the time.
"Afterwards, we went backstage and met him. I'm sure it was the first-time Bono had met Frank. That night changed my life basically – I thought he was the greatest singer who ever lived and Frank and I had a moment (laughs). I was a very young blonde and dressed a bit like Grace Kelly and he did a kind of an old-time vaudeville double-take. But he was very gracious – he told me I was beautiful. Any time after that if I was having a bad hair day I would just think about Frank and how beautiful he said I was."
McKee says she remembers touring Europe as being like a holiday.
"I ended up calling it the 'U2 Lone Justice Country Club Tour' because it was literally like a vacation package," she laughs. "It was when they were doing big open air festival type shows – and
"Bono's voice was just incredible, he would truly soar. It was operatic, almost high church, reverential and transformative."
they would alternate support acts. Some nights it'd be The Pretenders, or Big Audio Dynamite or Lou Reed, and some nights it'd be us. I remember we did Wembley and in Italy we'd perform in Rome – get onstage and play for about 20 minutes and then we'd have three days off. My roadies and I would just train-hop and visit all the sights – it was just crazy and so much fun. Then I became a part of Mick Jones' entourage with Don Letts and those guys and they knew where all the underground clubs and house parties were. I was very inexperienced in those days – I didn't drink and I was still a virgin, but I was also an old punk and I was keen to see what was going on. It was always Don Letts who would say, 'Who's looking after Maria?' I was very uncorrupted in those days."
Did she have any favourite songs from the
Joshua Tree album?
"Gosh I'm trying to remember them now. 'God's Country' is just gorgeous – one of the greatest song they've recorded.
It's perfection. Everything about it is so beautiful: the guitar, the lyrics, all of of it. A lot of times, if we were in Cleveland or somewhere like that, I would hang around backstage after we played and I'd watch their show. Suddenly. the tour manager Denis Sheehan – God rest his soul – would burst into my dressing room and grab me and shout, 'Bono wants you onstage now'. He'd sneak me up onstage and Bono would bring me out to sing. It would usually be something like [sings], 'How long, to sing
this song…' Then he'd fool around and maybe go into Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers' 'Islands In The Stream' or 'Sweet Jane'."
Did Bono pick her brain about America during that time?
"Oh, I don't know that I was his gateway into America or anything like that. Bono and I became close friends and he knew almost everything about me. I remember he wanted to write a script about a girl singer and he wanted to read my journals. But I grew up in Beverly Hills and I was a theatre student – I'm not exactly the paragon of typical American culture. LA is a different kind of America.
"I don't really see Bono much anymore – his life is a lot different to mine. His wife [Ali] is still a friend of mine – we reach out now and then and see each other occasionally. But I have an entire life in Ireland that is sacred to me. I have two best friends who are married, who I met almost 30 years ago, when they were teenagers. They have children who are my God children and they have made my life kind of complete. So, I can honestly say that if it wasn't for my relationship with Bono and the band, there'd be a whole part of my life that doesn't exist. Ireland is my second home – it's my home away from home. I feel almost more at home there than I do here."
Finally, is there an outside chance that Maria might end up onstage with U2 at some point during the Joshua Tree 30th Anniversary tour?
"Oh, I doubt it very much," she laughs. "Would I do it if I was asked? They're family to me so, of yes, course I would."

If you haven't heard, two flavours of the world's best browser for mobile phones came out of beta yesterday, and the one that didn't used to be free now is. Both share a fantastic new interface that you can master in about five seconds. So what's the difference between the two? Can you see a difference? I can't see any difference. The devil, as they say, is in the details. In addition to what's on the official Opera Mini blog I found a couple of things that might help you decide between the two.
In addition to generally larger rendered text Opera Mini has multi-tap text entry enabled by default — at least for number-pad handsets. You can easily fix this in the settings by going into the advanced options and enabling "Fullscreen edit". Opera Mobile has support for T9 with no tweaking required. But note that with either browser you can't move your cursor between text fields without hitting 'Done' first.
Where Opera Mobile pulls ahead (at least for me) is the support for Asian characters in a special version of the app. I can think of at least one practical application for this, as you can see above. On the other hand, Opera Mini now has much better support for file downloads. I always had trouble accessing my Nokia's filesystem with previous versions of OM. Miscellaneous Changes: You can no longer "page-down" by pressing and holding the right side of your d-pad, but in both browsers you can use the '8' and '3' buttons to scroll down and up through screens. Also, there no longer seems to be an option for a 12-hour clock. Final Verdict: Oh, one thing I forgot to mention… If you're not running S60/Symbian or Windows Mobile/phone on your handset then Opera Mobile is out of the question. Sorry. But you needn't dismiss Opera Mini, as it now offers an almost identical user experience to its slightly bigger brother. If your handset is compatible with Opera Mobile and you need Asian character support then that's probably your best bet. Otherwise it pretty much comes down to whether you want Opera's Presto rendering engine hosted on a remote server (Mini) or installed on your handset (Mobile). In my informal testing speeds end up being virtually the same. There's a second or two of lag while Opera Mini connects to the server, but after that pages are rendered almost instantly. With Opera Mobile pages start loading immediately, but rendering them takes an extra second or two. I'm keeping both on my N86 for the time being; either one is a worthy upgrade to my favourite mobile browser.

The founder of a leading online university network in the U.S. says that universities will offer online degree courses within 5 years.
Online learning is not a new idea, but so far most online courses have been short rather than offering full degrees, but Daphne Koller, the Chief Executive of Coursera, believes that is soon to change.
The technology to make it happen already exists, and should universities decide to embrace online degree courses they could also become "more affordable and accessible," according to Professor Koller.
Affordable Degrees?
Delivering courses online rather than in the traditional university setting would cut down costs, potentially meaning that students could gain a degree from a top university without paying as much for their tuition. Some are even saying that a move to online degree courses could even signal the end of traditional university life.
Indeed, Professor Koller believes that the image of the traditional university campus is outdated, as she asserted that most students are not "walking on lawns next to ivy-clad buildings." She added, "when you have a lecture hall with 300 people, you're not getting personal interaction."
Flexible Learning Online
Online degree courses also offer more flexibility when it comes to learning. Rather than having to attend a lecture at a set time, it is entirely possible that the same lecture could be seen online at a time that suits you. This is not only great for those who don't like getting up in the morning, but is also good news for those who have other responsibilities to take care of alongside their studies – such as work, child-care, or other commitments.
In addition to this, an online course would offer ease of access for those who may not otherwise be able to go to university. In theory, you could get a degree from anywhere in the world without having to leave your home.
Distance Learning In Practice
Of course, there are online degree courses available already, but the difference that Professor Koller foresees is that "respectable universities" will be offering online degrees for the first time. Indeed, there are already steps being made in this direction by FutureLearn, which was created by the Open University.
FutureLearn are teaming up with the University of Leeds to allow students to study course units online and use them towards an undergraduate degree. This is set to begin in the Autumn, with talk already saying that students will see their tuition fees reduced as a result.
The Future – After Online Degree Courses
It seems that those universities that can accept and adapt to this change will stand the best chance of leading the way when it comes to online degree courses. The market for these courses is global and may even help to side-step some of the potential restrictions faced by universities as posed by the recent 'Brexit' vote.
It certainly looks as if changes are coming – so it is just a matter of seeing how quickly traditional universities can catch up with them.

This weekend and teh reunion taught me that I really miss some of the people that were close to me durring a time of growth in my life. We are different people now, but gathering together, I can feel that we shared something tegether.
The other thing it taught me is that I have the feeling that trevor and I will be friends no matter the distance. I was upset lastnight when we parted ways again, but it really felt more like see ya later then goodbye. I am glad that we got to do "normal" stuff together while he was here and will make sure that I get to visit this summer for more then a day.
Thanks to all of my friends that traveled to the event this weekend. I know I have more post in me but I am still processing.

Ander Herrera has denied suggestions that the Manchester United players didn't show any passion in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 tie defeat at Anfield.
Herrera denies that the team gave up against Liverpool
United were well beaten by Liverpool 2-0 last week and now face an uphill battle to try and overturn the result at Old Trafford. A lot of people slammed the United players for not trying but Herrera dismissed talk that it was a gutless performance from the United players in front of the Kop.
Herrera in response to the claims that the United players didn't try against Liverpool said: "I don't agree. We always fight. We always try to win" and just because the result wasn't very good the players know they can fight back in the second leg.
The Spanish midfielder continued to say "everyone has to respect us on that issue. We always fight. We want to win always and we are very proud because we are Manchester United players" and that means until the tie is fully finished the team will give it their all to improve the result.
Performance levels will have to improve, says Herrera
United came into the tie against Liverpool last week after winning all four games against them under Louis van Gaal but the performance just wasn't right from the players during the game. Herrera therefore, knows it will take a big effort from the team to turn it around but believes it is achievable.
On the team's performance in the first leg, Herrera said: "when you have a bad game and you are disappointed you don't have to think too much about what happened" and go out and show that it was a one off and give the Old Trafford faithful something to cheer about.
Herrera asks the fans to spur them to victory at Old Trafford
Herrera says that the United players "feel stronger when we play at home. We will have more fans at home" as against Liverpool the fans raise the noise a lot more than they do against any other team. The Spaniard says that "we have the best fans in England and they will be very important".
The key for United players to try and overturn the first leg deficit will be to try and get an early goal to try and get nerves going in the Liverpool camp and Herrera says that "we don't need to go crazy. We just need to score the first goal. It's important we don't concede because we will create chances".

Reports & Resources
Electric vehicle (EV) research in Vermont is rapidly evolving to match the speed of vehicle and technology innovations. Several recent reports on EVs in Vermont are highlighted below, including information on EV interactions with utility infrastructure and how public entities can support increased public charging stations. Please contact us if you are aware of materials which should be added to this listing.
July 2014
Regional Planning for Electric Vehicles
The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) has EV resources for communities working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector and increase the energy efficiency of Vermont's motor vehicle fleet.
SUMMARY: CCRPC recognizes electric vehicles are an important factor in realizing energy efficiency improvements and greenhouse gas reductions detailed in the 2013 Chittenden County ECOS Plan and the Chittenden County Climate Action Guide, as well as climate action plans across all levels of government. The Chittenden County Climate Action Guide prioritizes the promotion of electric vehicle infrastructure for electric vehicle charging as a key action to meeting greenhouse gas reduction targets established by the State legislature. Electric Vehicle (EV) technology supports these goals by providing low carbon, highly efficient and cost effective transportation. As such, CCRPC collaborated with Vermont Energy Investment Corporation (VEIC) to develop studies on future EV adoption and EV charging equipment locations, a how-to guide for installing EV charging equipment, and model bylaw language for streamlining permitting for new EV charging installations.
April 2013
Planning for an electric vehicle infrastructure
Vermont Energy Investment Corporation identifies criteria for optimal locations for electric vehicle public charging, options for funding, and charging equipment for Chittenden County, Vermont.
SUMMARY: As electric vehicle sales continue to grow in Vermont, it is imperative that we begin to plan for widespread use of these vehicles and understand potential need for public charging facilities. Availability of away-from-home charging is one of the primary factors thought to affect consumers' decisions regarding the purchase of an EV (along with vehicle price, vehicle range, and gasoline costs). In this report we consider needs for public vehicle charging in Chittenden County in the coming decade (2013-2023) as well as business models, optimal electric vehicle charging equipment (EVCE) location criteria in keeping with the ECOS planning goals and explore the different types of EVCE available.
Using US EIA projections of EV sales, we estimate that by 2023 approximately 5,800 EVs will be registered in Vermont, requiring 79 charging stations in Chittenden County. Cost estimates to install these charging stations varied from $553,000 to $1.66 million.We identify priority destination-types for public EVCE as those locations offering retail, recreation, and public administration services. These destinations commonly have dwell times long enough to allow an appreciable amount of charging. Future research may consider specific locations to serve as optimal sites for public EVCE in Chittenden County.
March 2013
What's the most efficient way to charge electric vehicles?
Vermont Energy Investment Corporation presents data that shows level 2 electric vehicle charging to be consistently more efficient than level 1 charging.
SUMMARY: Uncontrolled EV charging may create the need for additional infrastructure and result in longer and higher peak demand. In order to meet this increased load without substantial expansion of generation capacity, it is critical that EV charging be performed as efficiently as possible.
Identifying opportunities for applying efficiency measures to EVs requires analysis of energy usage from the point it flows from the grid to its release in the wheels of the vehicle. This includes the following two primary processes:
- Charging: Storage of electrical energy in the EV battery system
- Driving: Transformation of electrical energy into motion
This study analyzes one aspect of EV charging: the differences between Level 1(120V) and Level 2(240V) charging efficiency.
April 2010
How will electric vehicles affect Vermont's electric grid?
The University of Vermont Transportation Research Center has completed several research studies investigating how the electric grid may respond under widespread use of EVs in Vermont.
SUMMARY: In this study, funded by the US DOT and Vermont utilities, volunteer drivers will use the PHEV for their regular daily travel, and from these trips, data will be collected about carbon emissions, electricity use, local variations in the electrical supply, and performance over differing distances and driving styles. The research also includes an on-going effort to determine the capacity of Vermont's electric grid to handle 50,000, 100,000 or 200,000 plug-in hybrids.

Attending to the social determinants of health is especially important for children, since children's experiences – of poverty, poor nutrition, trauma, abuse, neglect, the prenatal environment – can affect physical and mental health for an entire lifetime. As the authors of a recent commentary in JAMA write: "Pediatrics … continues to evolve clinical practice aimed at addressing social determinants because of children's exquisite vulnerability to the deleterious effects of the social and physical environment, especially the aggregation of social factors associated with poverty."
The occasion for the commentary – titled Addressing the Social Determinants of Health Within the Patient-Centered Medical Home: Lessons From Pediatrics — is the imminent implementation of the Affordable Care Act. The medical home (also known as the patient-centered medical home) is a concept that originated in pediatrics. The basic idea is that when a team of providers — physicians, nurses, nutritionists, pharmacists, social workers – work together, they can best meet the needs of patients. The Affordable Care Act has several provisions designed to establish and promote medical homes, and the authors of this commentary (two pediatricians and a family medicine practitioner) ask: What has pediatrics learned about addressing social determinants that can be translated to medical homes for adults.

The "PETER URBAN SYNDROME" 2
This is the second in a series of articles titled, "The Peter Urban Syndrome".
The late GrandMaster Peter Urban was not only a Pioneer originating one of the 1st Martial Arts schools in the USA in 1959 but he was an innovator and somewhat eccentric, eclectic propagator of newer and more modern approaches to the Martial Arts.
During a period when most martial arts teachers were enamored with "tradition" and committed to following established "traditions" of their oriental predecessors, Master Urban initiated what many considered a "Sacrilege" as he began to openly deviate from much of the "traditional" mindset and practices that where at the heart of oriental culture, society, and previously had formed a major part of the foundation of oriental martial arts.
To this day, the results of this "Rebellion" are still lauded by some, lamented and criticized by others. However, this PARADIGM CHANGE began a transition in martial arts that is still in progress today; reflected later in many of the "radical" anti-tradition concepts presented by the late Bruce Lee in the 70's, exemplified in the multiple variations of the USA GoJu style initiated by GM Urban and further advanced by his most prominent students, and has become part of the mantra that helps fuel the present "Mixed Martial Arts" phenomenon currently popular today. In contrast, many of Urban's more radical practices have served to set problematic precedents that have resulted in serious questions concerning credibility in the MA belt ranking system.
As with any prominent figure in history, Grand Master Urban had his remarkable accomplishments along with his "demons". With the greatest respect for his many accomplishments, and as one of his closest, long term Senior Students, I have no illusion that this man was a Saint or was without fault. It is the opinion of this author that only through candid, honest, and critical examination of history will we best move our martial arts forward. As Winston Churchill stated, "Those who do not learn from the history are destined to repeat it."
It is not my intention to dwell on the past whether by romanticizing "war stories" and/or "heroes" or by condemning questionable past actions and activities. It is, however, our responsibility as adults, as Senior Masters, and present leaders of the martial arts to view all with a "critical mind", a mind open to all possibilities but cognizant that not everything is probable, and/or profitable. Ultimately, I wish to honor one of the valuable principles taught to me by this great martial artist, "KEEP THE GOOD and DISGARD THE BAD". It is in this spirit that I continue to examine and share, in humility and truth, "THE PETER URBAN SYNDROME". (more…)
