FBI Probes FEMA After Allegations of Flood Map Fixing
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is in hot water with the FBI after an investigative report by NBC News uncovered hundreds of instances where FEMA workers assigned a lower flood risk to high-risk properties, allowing the owners to save "as much as 97 percent" on their flood insurance premiums.
According to NBC, the agency has been conducting interviews with FEMA employees for the past 10 days to get to the bottom of the fixed flood maps.
The NBC investigation published in February shows that 533 properties in Alaska, Hawaii, and across coastal areas of the continental United States were removed from high-risk flood zones under questionable circumstances, including these luxury beachfront condominiums in hurricane-prone Alabama.
On a single day -– Oct. 25, 2012, as agency officials were closely monitoring Hurricane Sandy as it barreled toward the Atlantic Coast — FEMA remapped more than a mile of the oceanfront in Gulf Shores [Alabama], including condos on the spot where a Holiday Inn and a McDonald's were destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in 2004. The document that made that change, issued by a FEMA manager, redrew the lines to exclude 25 condo buildings from the highest-risk flood zone, and was one of just 533 cases found nationwide by NBC News.
NBC illustrated all 533 cases of questionable changes to flood risk on a map hosted by GIS software company Esri.
FEMA's flood maps are crucial for property owners and insurance companies alike, as they assess the risk for flooding at a particular location in the United States based on information such as proximity to a body of water, elevation, and climatological risk for hazards like hurricanes or major river flooding. Flood insurance premiums are heavily dependent on a property's FEMA-analyzed flood risk, with the highest-risk properties costing the most to insure per year.
FloodSmart.gov serves as "the official site of the National Flood Insurance Program," providing homeowners with information regarding both flood risk and flood insurance.

For example, is it more likely that Ueshiba Sensei was able to calculate with incredible precision projectile range? It would explain much more than just seeing bullets... Michael Jordan used to shoot free throws with his eyes closed. When asked why he said he could see the basket and where to shoot whether his eyes were open or not. What about hitting a baseball, tennis ball? I certainly cannot return a 120mph serve.
For example, is it more likely that Ueshiba Sensei was well-conditioned from his overly physical life. I know several farmers who are strong, lean, and well-conditioned as the result of their chores. I also know several athletes who are well-conditioned from their sports. O'Sensei was conditioned over a number of activities. It does not suprise me in the least that he was strong, fit, and athletic (wasn't there a stry about hitting a hole-in-one the only time he played golf?).

Remember when our school district was compared to Shawnee Mission not Kansas City, Mo.?
To the editor:
Remember when our school district was compared to Shawnee Mission not Kansas City, Mo.?
Remember when our kids were learning and our teachers were happy and allowed to teach as they were trained to do?
Remember when our school taxes were not one of the highest in the state?
Remember when the majority of the school board worked together for the good of our school district, not just their own narrow views?
Remember when few or none of our school families transferred their school-aged children to neighboring school districts or home schooled?
Remember when the board president listened to all members and the public, not just his or her cronies?
Remember when the number of high paid administers was low and student achievement was high?
Remember when we were all proud of our high performing school district and the envy of others?
Remember when the administration lived in Leavenworth and sent their own children to our public or parochial schools?
As you reminisce then you will also remember that Doug Darling and Mike Carney were on the board during those good times.
Such good memories can return if we elect Mike Carney and Doug Darling on April 2. Any others will keep us in the status quo which we must and can avoid.

"The Life And Times Of Prophecy"
I guess that's a new take on the old adage "The family that prays together… Stays together"
Cause really, when you've got a family pulling in about $80 Million a year, who needs prayer? Okay, forgive the blasphemous statement, but this family is off and running circles around the industry. The Kardashian clan raked in a reported $65 million last year, based on their reality shows and other endorsements, and that's not even including Lamar Odom's salary with the Championship Los Angeles Lakers.
The entire family came out last night to support Lamar and Khloe's launch for their fragrance "Unbreakable" at The Redbury Hotel in Hollywood, and this family is definitely showing that they're (more…)
The Kid's Choice Awards were this weekend, and celebrity siblings came out in full movaph**kin effizect. We'd have to say, these days it seems like families and siblings are killing the Hollywood game. In my opinion, the forefront of these siblings would have to be Jaden and Willow Smith. These two kids are too cool for school, and with parents like Will and Jada, they're definitely gettin' raised right and reppin for the industry. Jaden's performance in the new "Karate Kid" was awesome, and Willow's got a voice to school most of the full grown singers in the R&B realm. No wonder Jay-Z had to sign her.
But let's not forget about the other folks that showed up on the carpet. Paris and Nicky Hilton, who seem to have been quite busy this week, who also made appearances at Snoop's party, and the Red Cross Relief Run for Japan, these two power sisters are def reppin correct.
Then let's take Kim and Kourtney Kardashians, who are so family oriented, they even had to bring their half sisters with a different last name, Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Kris Jenner sure is doing an amazing job pimpin' out her kids… they reportedly earned $65 Million dollars last year as a family. Wow!! Heidi Fleiss could learn a lot from this fam.
And Joe Jonas introduced us to the next Jonas in line, little Frankie. With all these families runnin game in the industry, it's no doubt these siblings are gonna be runnin thangs for years to come.

Creation apologetics
Creation apologetics are the apologetics (defenses) used to support the belief that the universe and/or life on Earth were created by a supernatural deity. While logic and theology have historically sufficed for many, creation science has arisen in modern times to be the principal source of information used by those engaged in defending creationism. The reason for the shift towards science to support these beliefs is that almost all attacks upon the truth of the creation are from the scientific community, which is now overwhelmingly dominated by an atheistic majority.
There is a spectrum of creationist views, with two main schools of thought, known as religious creationism and intelligent design. While both rely heavily upon creation science to substantiate their views, the former uses historical religious texts (i.e. Bible, Qur'an) when forming theories regarding the act of creation or the age of the Earth.
Science Disciplines
Creation Cosmology
- Main Article: Creation cosmology
Creation cosmology is the study of the origin of the universe that stems from the belief that an almighty deity formed it ultimately for human habitation on Earth. Current estimates by the scientific community for the age of the universe are far beyond what a typical creation scientist would countenance. In response, several young universe creation cosmologies have been proposed.
Creation Geology
- Main Article: Creation geology
Creation geology is largely based on the philosophical interpretation known as catastrophism. Also known as flood geology, it provides clear evidence of the global flood of Noah, which strongly supports a young earth and contradicts the long ages the theory of evolution requires to operate.
The idea of an old earth is based on the opposing principle of uniformitarianism, which is the doctrine that geologic processes have acted in the same regular manner and intensity throughout geologic time.
Creation Biology
- Main Article: Creation biology
Creation biology is the study of biological systems under the inference that God created life on Earth as described in Genesis. As the theory of evolution is found as an integral part of all secular biology fields, it is critical that creationists have a thorough understanding of biology.
Creation biology is premised on the idea that God created a finite number of discrete created kinds or baramin. While these forms of life have the ability to vary, and even undergo speciation, they cannot arise spontaneously from non-life, cannot interbreed outside of their kind, and cannot increase in genetic complexity.
Scientific Evidence
Intelligent Design
- Main Article: Intelligent design
Intelligent design (ID) is a creation science perspective which infers that natural laws and chance alone are not adequate to explain all natural phenomena. ID is not religious in nature, and ID theories are ultimately inferred from empirical evidence in nature, not deduced from scripture or religious doctrines. Many ID advocates are not Christians, Jews, or Muslims, and some ID theorists entertain the idea of common descent. ID is most clearly distinguished from religious creationism in that it makes no claims about who the creator or designer is, nor does it use references from scripture when forming theories about the history of the world. ID simply postulates that the cosmos possesses evidence that it was intelligently designed.
Young Earth
- Main Article: Young earth
Many scientific arguments can be used to show that geological and physical evidence is more consistent with a recent creation than with an old Earth. Some arguments put forward in support of a recent creation simply put an upper limit on the age of the Earth, solar system, or universe, which are inconsistent with an ancient creation. For example, Russell Humphreys's argument based on the amount of salt in the ocean is designed to show the maximum possible age of the oceans based on uniformitarian assumptions, and thus shows that the oceans could not be as old as claimed; it is not designed to show the actual age of the oceans, and as such the resulting age, although far too great for the young Earth view, is not inconsistent with it.
Biblical Support
Genealogical Record
- Main Article: Biblical genealogy
The Bible contains a genealogical record from Adam to Jesus, and specifies the age of each man (from Adam to Jacob) in this lineage at the time he had his first son. Using this detailed Biblical chronology from the beginning of creation, Bible scholars have been able to calculate the age of the earth.
Chronological Record
- Main Article: Biblical chronology
The Bible is remarkably detailed in its chronology, giving precise dates and years for many important events and Biblical genealogies, for the events spanning from the first day of Creation to the death of Abraham. The post-biblical chronology from Jesus to the present day is also easily available from European historical record.
Archaeological Record
- Main Article: Biblical archaeology
Biblical archaeology is an important creation science discipline that substantiates the Bible as a valid historical document, and the Biblical chronology as an accurate time-line. Each year new discoveries are made, and creationists are encouraged to keep themselves informed of progress in this field.

Sept. 17, 2013
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (seminoles.com) – One year after breaking its 21-match losing streak to Florida, the 17th-ranked Florida State indoor volleyball team was unable to capitalize this regular season as it fell to No. 4 Florida, 3-0 (20-25, 24-26, 23-25), on Tuesday night at the Stephen O'Connell Center.
Traditionally armed with high-percentage hitters, the Gators (9-1) used their middle attack to get a lot of points and were able to win several of the longer rallies. A close second set where the Seminoles (6-4) held set point at 24-23 was also given away, helping swing momentum into Florida's favor for the rest of the match. It was the seventh loss in a set by FSU where the differential was the minimum of two points, followed by another two-point loss in the third frame.
Later in the third set, Florida State trailed 16-9 and was seemingly out of the match with the crowd behind the Gators. However, the Seminoles managed to rally and cut their match-point deficit to 24-23 on a block from Ashley Neff. Florida ended the match with a block of its own, but Florida State managed to go down in defeat valiantly with three close set losses.
"We hung in there with them, but unfortunately a loss is a loss," head coach Chris Poole said. "We told the team that we're playing well, but we're losing by two or three points in some of these sets and we need to correct them and try to get better. We're making just enough mistakes where we are shooting ourselves in the foot."
The loss puts Florida State at a 16-match losing streak when facing the Gators on the road. Its last road win in Gainesville was on Oct. 9, 1990. The Seminoles are now 3-3 against Top 25 opponents this season, with victories over No. 7 Michigan, 17th-ranked Western Kentucky and then-17th-ranked Kentucky.
Senior outside hitter Olivera Medic was Florida State's most consistent attacker, recording 10 kills in 21 attacks for a .333 hitting percentage. Sophomore Nicole Walch heated up her game in the second set and finished with 14 kills in 29 swings, mustering just six attack errors for a .276 hitting percentage. At times, both outside hitters threw Florida off-balanced and became go-to forces.
Florida State held Florida to just a .255 hitting percentage, highlighted by a stout defensive set in the third where the Gators finished with just a .083 hitting mark. Chloe Mann and outside hitter Ziva Recek led UF with 12 kills apiece.
Florida State was also hurt by seven service errors, although Florida recorded nine with its aggressive style of play. Redshirt junior libero Katie Mosher led all players with 17 digs, while junior setter Sarah Wickstrom recorded 21 assists and freshman Hailey Luke added 15.
Neff, the reigning ACC Player of the Week, finished with six kills, four blocks and a .308 hitting percentage for the Noles.
A tight first set was broke open by the Gators following a timeout called by the Seminoles where they were trailing 18-17. Florida won three consecutive points following the timeout, which included two big blocks to help it to a 21-17 advantage. Both teams began to trade points from there, and the set ended off consecutive kills from the Gators. Medic provided a consistent hitting effort in the first frame for the Seminoles, recording four kills in five attacks. Florida, however, put together a .375 hitting clip with 16 kills.
Florida State had a great opportunity to tie things in the second set, as Nicole Walch hammered a kill from the left side to put FSU ahead at 24-23. However, the Noles were called for a double-contact penalty to tie the set back up at 24-24, and Taylor Unroe's serve proved difficult from there as the Gators brought home two straight kills to take the 2-0 advantage. When it seemed that Florida could pull away earlier in the frame, the Seminoles held on and kept it close with the Gators. Freshman Izzy Carmona came up with three well-timed blocks in the set as FSU held a 5-4 advantage in the bat-down department through two frames.
Florida came out ready in the third set as opposed to getting behind early. But after taking a 16-9 lead over Florida State, the Seminoles fought back key kills from Medic and Nicole Walch to trail just 18-15. An attack error by UF created a 22-18 deficit for FSU, and later in the frame a service error and attack error by the Gators cut match point to 24-23 before Mann and Gabby Mallette produced a match-ending block.
The Seminoles finish non-conference play in the regular season with a road match at Auburn on Saturday, Sept. 21 at 1 p.m.

Date: 03/25/2013
Writer: Jane Moorman, 505-249-0527, email@example.com
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Bernalillo County 4-H members unload six shopping carts filled with groceries as the Smith's Supermarket cashier moves the items across the register scanner. When the last item crosses the scanner, the six-foot-long sales receipt totals more than $1,000.
The food will help stock the Ronald McDonald House pantry. It eventually will be used by volunteers who prepare evening meals for the guests at the home-away-from-home facility for out-of-town families of seriously ill children receiving medical treatment at area hospitals.
The 4-H youth helped members from the New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau's Women's Leadership Committee, and Ronald McDonald House Charities of New Mexico staff members, including Ronald McDonald himself, select fresh produce, meat, dry goods and canned goods.
"This is the 16th year the Farm Bureau has partnered with the Ronald McDonald House in this Food Check-Out Day activity," said Anna Sanchez-Glenn, chairperson for the event. "It is a great way for New Mexico farmers and ranchers to help their neighbors during a time of crisis."
Food Check-Out Day is when the average family of four has made enough money from the beginning of the year to pay their food bill for the whole year. Americans spend less than 10 percent of their disposable income on food annually compared to China where it is 26 percent or Indonesia at 55 percent.
"Our 4-H youth were invited by the Farm Bureau women to help shop for the Ronald McDonald House pantry as a community service project," said John Garlisch, Bernalillo County 4-H agent. "The kids also learned how to extend a dollar by buying the largest quantity possible on a limited budget."
The food purchased in this event will last the entire year, according to Kristin Rortvedt, executive director of Ronald McDonald House Charities of New Mexico.
"Other organizations do wish lists and canned food drives for us, but this shopping day provides fresh produce and meat, which is a huge gift to our families," Rortvedt said. "Having 4-H members involved brings in the component of kids helping kids, which has such an impact. For the 4-H members it teaches them community service at an early age and gets them involved in understanding that not everyone's life is like their own."
4-H is more than raising and showing animals at county and state fairs. The youth development program teaches leadership and community service. 4-H is a part of New Mexico State University's Cooperative Extension Service.
"Part of the 4-H pledge dedicates the members to make a better living for their club, their community, their country, and their world," Garlisch said. "Our members try to make a difference in the world and their community."
4-H member Megan Meeks, who helped shop, said she likes helping the families of kids who have cancer or are sick with other diseases. "I think it's cool that 4-H is able to help."
Austin Polk added that he likes helping with the shopping because it is for a good cause that helps people from across the state.
After the food was bagged and loaded into the back of a pickup truck, the shoppers went to the Ronald McDonald House at 1011 Yale Blvd. near the University of New Mexico Medical Center to help stock the pantry.
As they labeled the food items with expiration dates, the 4-H members learned more about the 30-guest-room facility and who it serves.
"Every day New Mexico families with critically ill children travel to Albuquerque for essential medical care not available in their own community," Rortvedt said. "Kids in medical crisis need their parents nearby, and families need a temporary home while supporting their ill children. Staying at a hotel is not financially possible. Providing unduplicated services since 1982, we have provided temporary lodging to thousands of families facing this challenging situation."
Families from across the state have accessed the services of the charity. During 2012, families from 27 counties stayed a total of 8,513 nights. Counties with the largest use included San Juan, 1,976 nights; Santa Fe, 1,073 nights; McKinley, 795 nights; Rio Arriba, 604 nights; Otero, 573 nights; Chaves, 528 nights; and Dona Ana, 428 nights.
"It is truly a statewide charity," Garlisch said. "It is a pleasure to have our members involved in this annual event to help such a vital service."

After 14 years and collecting over 62.5 million corks, the curtain is closing on Zoos Victoria's highly successful Corks for the Elephants program.
Corks for the Elephants has been a successful fundraising initiative recycling over 250 tonnes of cork and saving it from becoming landfill.
The program raised over $374,000 with funds contributing towards the construction of Melbourne Zoo's Trail of the Elephants exhibit and more recently, the Browse Plantation at Werribee Open Range Zoo. The program has also achieved widespread recognition in the community with cork donations coming from across Australia.
Zoos Victoria Volunteer Program Manager Marg Joiner said: 'This program has seen fantastic community support over the last 14 years and I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to its success.
'The volunteers associated with this project have been phenomenal, donating over 120 hours a month to help sort and distribute recycled corks.
'In recent years, a shift in the market has seen cork no longer recycled in Victoria, and as a result the decision has been made to discontinue the program as of 30 June this year.'
Cork collection bins will be removed after 30 June, after which cork, screw top caps and plastic stoppers will no longer be accepted.
'Even though Corks for the Elephants is ending, we're encouraging all those who have donated their time and their corks to help us with They're Calling on You, a campaign that recycles old or disused mobile phones to raise money for the Zoo and to protect Gorilla habitat in the Democratic Republic of Congo,' Ms Joiner said.
Find out more about They're Calling on You or email: firstname.lastname@example.com

In a report that must be the envy of most other retailers, Michael Kors Holdings on Wednesday reported its fiscal fourth-quarter profit rose a better-than-expected 59% as same-store sales jumped 26.2% to mark their 32nd straight quarterly gain.
Sales rose 20.6% in the company's largest market, North America, and surged 62.7% Europe and 50% in Japan.
While the company's /quotes/zigman/7705184/delayed /quotes/nls/kors KORS shares were little changed after it gave what analysts described as "conservative" guidance, the fashion house's stock has quadrupled to $95.54 since they were first sold to the public in December 2011.
"We would be aggressive buyers of Kors at these levels," said ISI Group analyst Omar Saad.
While luxury has generally outperformed the broader industry, Kors has stood ahead of the pack by creating an image that targets people longing for a jet-setting lifestyle.
"We've made Michael Kors synonymous with fashion leadership and jet-set luxury," said Chairman and Chief Executive John Idol on a conference call. "That philosophy is at the heart of everything we create from our products to our stores and to our digital innovation. The Michael Kors brand is now sought after by consumers around the world who are inspired to live the luxury jet-set lifestyle."
That strategy is clear from a quick glance at the company's website. There are recent photos of celebrities including Michelle Obama and Angelina Jolie wearing the designer's outfits, and the designer himself sharing his travel diary and suggestions on things to do and see from London to Tokyo. In a recent fashion show in Shanghai, the company chronicled a day in a life of model Karmen Pedaru and also showcased a snapshot of many models' Instagrams, including many "selfies."
"We've become a leader in social media," whether through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Chinese Weibo, Idol said.
Michael Kors has 13 million fans on Facebook, more than double its larger rival Coach /quotes/zigman/263421/delayed /quotes/nls/coh COH which has 5.3 million; more than Kate Spade's /quotes/zigman/29417586/delayed /quotes/nls/kate KATE 1.5 million; Tory Burch's 1 million; and Ralph Lauren's /quotes/zigman/6233187/delayed /quotes/nls/rl RL 7.7 million. Kors' 2 million followers on Twitter also far outnumber its competitors.
A recent Robert W. Baird & Co. survey of 500 women in the U.S. regarding their handbag preferences and purchase intent "suggests further share gains" for Michael Kors and Kate Spade, despite Coach holding the No. 1 market share in North America, said analyst Mark Altschwager.
Women under 35 described the brand as "hot," "popular," "sleek" and "stylish," according to the survey.
Michael Kors, after taking handbag market share from Coach, said it's expanding in areas including jewelry, eyeglasses and shoes. The company said its licensed watches, which are made by Fossil /quotes/zigman/17693969/delayed /quotes/nls/fosl FOSL , are one of the top 10 brands in the world.
Later this year, Michael Kors will launch an e-commerce site in North America and unveil its largest store in New York's SoHo. The company is further planning to open freestanding men's stores. It will open more stores in Europe, Japan, China and other Asian markets and expects its retail business to grow to account for as much as 80% of total revenue in the next two to three years. In another sign of the brand's universal appeal, its top sellers are the same in every major region, albeit with color variations such as pink for Japanese consumers, Idol said on the call.
"Glam, Inspirational, Growth, Story Continues," Citigroup analyst Oliver Chen titled his research note on Wednesday, adding he was "pleased with another impressive quarter" despite weather headwinds that hurt most retailers.
"We believe Kors will continue to show strong execution globally." A recent Citigroup survey showed consumers found the brand "has the most style". It is ranked No. 1 among customers with brand and design deemed its best attributes.
Still, the analyst said he rates the stock at neutral, as he acknowledged the company's retail margins face pressure from the cost of opening flagship stores and investing in e-commerce.
"The market appears increasingly focused on the company's industry leading 31% margins," said Sterne Agee analyst Ike Boruchow. "Although Kors clearly has very strong top-line momentum and continues to take share in a growing category, we remain sidelined due to potential margin pressure that is now starting to surface."

Site Updates
The address of this blog is now Coconutandlime.com. Old links will redirect automatically to the new address so there should be no broken links due to this move. The blog feed has stayed the same.
Let me know if you encounter any issues with the redesign. I'll return to my regular posting next week.

cool ~ I am looking forward to more recipes.ReplyDelete
Hope you didn't pack away your snow shovel! ughh.
Have a great weekend.
While this is a much needed and overall better design, I think you've long since out-grown Blogger and it's limitations for a CMS for you. A few UI tweaks are still needed here.ReplyDelete
When viewing an individual post, like this one, which happens when I click a link from my RSS reader for example, there is no obvious HOME button to get me back to the main page of your site. While I know that clicking the logo will get me there, it's not going to be painfully obvious to most of your readers.
Additionally, there is still no PRINT option, something that is very much needed on a site like this. I end up copy / pasting the instructions into Word or Google Docs to get just what I needed to print.
I know I've suggested it in the past, but I think switching to WordPress will not only give you far more sustainable options from an admin standpoint, your readers will get your already great content delivered to them in an even more friendly and easy to read context.
I didn't think you had any room for improvement! I have been an avid reader of your blog for about a year now and totally enjoy it, but as they say, change can be a good thing. Keep it up!ReplyDelete
Thanks Mike! If only switching to Wordpress wouldn't result in 1000s of broken links. Or if only, Wordpress was around in 2004.ReplyDelete
A few years ago I moved a blogger based site with 11k total posts to WordPress. It was a nerve-racking 2 hours, but it was flawless. There are plug-ins that will help with the link issues too, so you won't lose them.ReplyDelete
Totally worth it in my opinion. It gives the option to deliver a much nicer, cleaner site to your viewers, and a print button ;)

Although Fox had a national reputation, his professional colleagues at
University of Miami who were biologists/biochemists considered him to be a
bit of a charlatan. They seemed not to have much respect for his science,
and occasionally they would poke fun at his work in classes. But mostly
they regarded his work as irrelevant to origin of life. Wm. Day ("Genesis
on planet earth: the search for life's beginning." 2nd ed. Yale Univ Press.
1984.) has stated "No matter how you look at it, [Fox's work] is scientific
nonsense. " I think this attitude was pretty general among those who
understood the complexity of life, especially biochemists. Of course there
are plenty of scientists who take exception to his claims, and some of them
have already been posted in this thread. But mostly, his work is justly
ignored by origin of life advocates, who consider it periferal.
But the whole issue of what constitutes a living cell, and thus defines
what a "protocell" has to be is not that difficult to understand. If a
candidate for a "protocell" is surrounded by a chemical membrane capable of
discriminating the passage of ions and important biological molecules, if
it contains encoded information and is capable of precisely replicating its
information so that daughter cells contain the same information as the
parent, if the cell is carrying out this process of replication and
synthesis of new materials, and is truly not at chemical equilibrium with
its environment, then it might be considered a candidate for a "protocell".
Anything else is just chopped liver. In considering the origin of the
first cell, Green and Goldberger ("Molecular insights into living process."
Academic Press. 1967): called the origin of the first cell from non-living
precursors "...a jump of fantastic dimensions, which lies beyond the range
of testable hypothesis. In this area, all is conjecture. The available
facts do not provide a basis for postulating that cells arose on this
planet." Nothing has been discovered in the last 30 years that would lead
me to think this statement is less valid today.

Spend quiet days at a hotel & spa, enjoy this reflective time of year at our Advent markets,
or strap on some skates and set out across our frozen ponds and lakes. During the winter,
Lake Wörthersee definitely shows us its more "laid-back" side.
Winter on Lake Wörthersee follows its own rules
It's the perfect place to relax and to gain new strength. Over the past few years our hotels have put a lot of effort and money in creating a new comfort with more amenities to enhance your well-being.' The hotels, belonging to this group, are real islands of peace, offering extensive recreation facilities, an excellent cuisine and the best service ever. While typical winter sports resorts are often crowed, Lake Wörthersee in winter is a real paradise to party, to organise an incentive or to celebrate a special event in a nice environment.
There is more to Lake Wörthersee than water skiing! In its neighbourhood you will find numerous ski resorts, not only in Carinthia but also across the boarders, in Italy (Tarvis) as well as in Slovenia (Kranjska Gora). The closest ski resort is the Gerlitzen with more than 50 kilometres of ski slopes. Even the popular ski resort Bad Kleinkirchheim, also famous as the venue of alpine skiing competitions, is to reach within 45 minutes by car
When summer steps aside for autumn here along the shores of Carinthia's Wörthersee, it isn't only the colours of nature that change. The people, too, begin to walk a little differently. The high spirits of summer are replaced by the amiable companionship of autumn.
Wine and Hiking, Palaces and Villas: With high season over, a special time of year begins in Wörthersee for those with a taste for the finer things in life.
A time to live like lords and relish every moment. It is the gourmets of the tourist world who truly prize the late summer and autumn in this land alongside the Wörthersee in Carinthia. The mild climate, countless hours of sunshine and pleasant water temperatures bathe the Carinthian autumn in a very special light. Palaces and villages featuring classic Wörthersee architecture, built between 1864 and 1938, serve as befitting residences for aficionados of autumn. Famous establishments, including Schloss Velden, Schloss Seefels, Villa Bulfon, Schloss Leonstain and the Seeschlössl, combine first-class hotel comforts with tradition and elegance.
Autumn is a time for hiking, cycling and unabashed enjoyment. A recipe for success that includes cider, bacon, wine, along with leisurely bicycle and hiking tours, such as the Wörthersee Hiking Loop, ending, not infrequently, at one of the many wine taverns for which this region is so renowned. For fans and connoisseurs of fine wines – as well as for those who aspire to become one – wine festivals profiling vintners from Austria, Italy and Slovenia are held in the communities of Maria Wörth and Velden.
In autumn, too, the Wörthersee Card is definitely an "ace in the hole" here in Carinthia. This free card serves as your key to more holiday experiences than you could ever have imagined. In fact, the Card allows you to visit over 100 attractions at absolutely no cost. This includes ferry rides, mountain lifts, scenic roads, museums and animal parks throughout Carinthia. The Wörthersee Card also grants you free use of nine different swimming beaches in the Wörthersee Region. In addition, our guests have a variety-packed selection of daytrips to choose from, with the guide and transfers included. Bus and rail travel are discounted as much as 50 percent.

Defender Darrius Barnes is healthy and hopeful of making his return this weekend against the LA Galaxy, while Steve Ralston will likely need another week
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – For the majority of the 2010 season, the New England Revolution's injury list has read more like a game-day roster than an injury report. As of Tuesday, July 6, the Revolution' injury list featured 10 of the club's 26 players – including two players on the season-ending injury list – meaning almost 40 percent of New England's roster is carrying some sort of knock.
The good news for the Revs is that their injury list is expected to shrink in the coming weeks, as both Darrius Barnes and Steve Ralston are close to returning from long-term injuries. Barnes – who has been recovering from a sprained right ankle and foot – should be available for the first time in two months when the LA Galaxy visits Gillette Stadium this Saturday night, July 10, while Ralston has returned to training but likely needs another week to heal as he aims to return from a dislocated left elbow.
Barnes has been out of the Revolution's lineup since injuring his foot in a 3-2 loss to the Columbus Crew on May 8. As the central defender stretched to block a shot inside the box, his right foot was caught under onrushing goalkeeper Preston Burpo. Although he finished the game, Barnes suffered both a midfoot sprain and an ankle sprain, while he also tore ligaments in the area.
For more than a month, Barnes was limited to rehabbing in the treatment room, a place he rarely visited in 2009 when he played every minute of every game in his rookie year.
"It definitely takes a toll on you, mentally more than anything," he said of watching his teammates from the sidelines and staying home when the team went on road trips. "I went from playing every game (last year) to being up in the box, watching. Especially this season, seeing the team struggle like they have been, you just feel like at some point you can add a little bit."
Barnes could possibly add what he can on Saturday night against the league-leading Galaxy, a club which has scored 25 goals in its first 15 games. After gradually working his way back into passing drills and light jogging throughout the month of June, Barnes recently ramped up his routine and has since joined back into full training sessions.
"The ankle feels fine," he said after Wednesday's workout. "I've been able to do everything in practice. The only thing is getting my conditioning back a little bit. You can only do so much when you're out, and there's nothing like playing [at training] with these guys to get game fit."
While Barnes is anxious to get back on the field, he's fully aware that after missing two months of action, it'll be an on-going process as he not only aims to regain his fitness, but also his sharpness on the ball.
"It takes a little while to get fully back," Barnes said. "You lose it quickly (when you're out), but if you're in shape when you come back, you can also gain it back quickly. I was out six weeks, so it's going to take a couple weeks for me to get back to where I was. I feel a little bit like I'm getting there already."
It's unlikely Ralston will be able to join Barnes on the game-day roster for this weekend's match against the Galaxy, but the 36-year-old's progress as he recovers from the elbow injury he suffered in mid-June appears to be ahead of schedule.
Like many of the Revolution's injury victims this season, Ralston's dislocated left elbow would have to be classified under "freak accident." Just days after re-signing with his former team, Ralston made a hero's return at Gillette Stadium, entering the June 13 international friendly against Cruzeiro to a standing ovation in the 72nd minute. It wasn't more than 30 seconds later that Ralston stumbled in the box and landed awkwardly on his elbow, forcing him off the field mere minutes after returning.
"I knew right away that I did something when I looked down and saw the bone sticking out – I knew it wasn't good," joked Ralston, who had only recently returned from a torn ACL in his right knee. "Honestly, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I couldn't believe that my first game back, 30 seconds in, this happened."
The original prognosis had Ralston sidelined up to six weeks, but Major League Soccer's all-time leader in games played found himself taking part in full training sessions just three weeks after suffering the injury. As he nears a return, Ralston was upgraded from "Out" to "Doubtful" on Tuesday's injury report, a sure sign that definite progress is being made.
However, Ralston is still sporting a brace on his elbow and he must be cautious not to put himself in a situation in which he could reinjure his arm.
"Honestly, the brace doesn't bother me too much," he said. "I was wearing a huge knee brace for a long time, so it's great to just have this thing instead of that.
"Right now, I'm just trying to be smart," Ralston continued. "Not get into any tackles, not doing anything silly. For me, it's just about getting fit. I felt like I was just coming back from the knee, then to have this – I want to be able to get on the field, come back, be strong and be fit."
Although Ralston said he doubts he'll suit up against the Galaxy, he's hopeful of being ready by next week. That might put him in line for a return when the Revolution visits the Windy City to face the Chicago Fire in a SuperLiga group stage match on Saturday, July 17.
"I still have to talk to the doctor," Ralston said. "Initially they said six weeks and it's only been three-and-a-half, but it feels good. Obviously the one concern now is if I were to take a hard fall, is it going to withstand that? Is it healed enough? I would think (I'll be ready) pretty soon. This weekend is a question mark – I doubt this weekend – but hopefully next weekend, for sure."

Grand Canyon
Grand Canyon, great gorge of the Colorado River, one of the natural wonders of the world; c.1 mi (1.6 km) deep, from 4 to 18 mi (6.4–29 km) wide, and 217 mi (349 km) long, NW Ariz. The canyon shows in its rocks the repeated geological sequence of uplift, erosion (due to the river's constant wearing force), submergence, and deposition of materials. The multicolored rocks, the steep and embayed rims, and the isolated towers, mesas,
and other eroded rock forms catch the contrast of sun and shadow and glow with changing hues of great beauty. Plant life on the canyon walls varies from subtropical at the base to subarctic near the rims. Hundreds of ancient pueblos dot the lower canyon walls and the rim. The Havasupai people still occupy a part of the canyon, and the Hualapai reservation encompasses much of the south rim. (The Hualapai now operate a visitors center, including a skywalk projecting over the canyon rim.) The first European to see the canyon was the Spanish explorer García López de Cárdenas in 1540. In 1869 the U.S. explorer John Wesley Powell became the first person to lead a party through the canyon bottom in a boat.
The Grand Canyon was set aside by the U.S. government in 1908 as a national monument. In 1919 an expanded area was designated Grand Canyon National Park (1,217,403 acres/492,876 hectares). The park was enlarged in 1975 to include other areas, such as Marble Canyon and parts of Glen Canyon and Lake Mead. Along the forested northern rim and the more accessible southern rim are numerous lookouts, and trails wind to the canyon floor. Raft and boat excursions along the canyon's river bottom are popular. In 2000 the lands north of the western portion of the canyon, an area almost the size of the park, were designated Grand Canyon–Parashant National Monument (1,014,000 acres/410,670 hectares). See National Parks and Monuments (table).
See S. Whitney, A Field Guide to the Grand Canyon (1987); J. W. Krutch, Grand Canyon (1989); S. J. Pyne, How the Canyon Became Grand (1998).

Calling for a major character to arbitrarily die without precedent sounds a little morbid to me. And the way you've worded this makes it sound like the God Hand are actively hunting Guts down just to torture him, which just isn't the case. Guts was in Slan's realm when she manifested.
I may be wrong Walter, but I just have a feeling we will see some fairly epic battles involving Guts and his crew. Given the sense of realism the series has tried to create, sooner or later there are bound to be casualties. Unless people think that Guts is going to go it alone and take revenge on Griffith (or just give up on that altogether, and we've seen the last of The Beast).
EDIT: *Just picking up on the "without precedent" part, I think the precedent I was trying to reference (albeit not as well as I wanted) was the original Band of the Hawk. Guts could once again find that thing he lost, but will he lose it again just as he lost Judo, Pippin, etc? So I'm seeing a parallell here that you don't agree with or don't expect to play out, I think.
Hope we get to see Skellig before inner-Falconia. I'm sure Griffith's domain is going to be striking but we've been ♫waiting so long♫ to reach this damn island! Also, I expect that to begin with, most of the Falconia stuff is going to be Rickert doing an =o face at everything he sees whilst everyone sings Griffith's praises. Skellig is a complete mystery to us all.
And either way, we'll know soon enough.
I didn't notice it until today when reviewing the actual magazine, but the ending text in the bonus episode of Gigantomakhia does mention Falconia, Rickert and Erica. So, odds are high that's what 334 will be.Sorry I didn't notice it until today...
I'm wondering Will they arrive at skellig? Or are they first going to YS to find information about skellig?I can't really remember what the plan was of guts & Co. So this Will mean I will have to reread the manga tomorrow.
Now my question is, next time we see them on the ship, will they arrive or more shit is gonna happen before they reach it.
One thing I feel like for sure is, that Elfhelm exists in a magical dimension of some sort, I believe it was all but confirmed as it's historically very difficult to find, like Flora's mansion.
Anyway, I'm sure Hanafubuku Oh will have some say in their arrival,
I think the merrow escort makes it a pretty safe bet the rest of the journey should be smooth. The circumstances of their arrival might be interesting though. As in, will it be like parking at any other island and rowing the rest of the way in? Will they be 'tractored', perhaps magically? Maybe go into a mist and navigation go wild, then open up on Elfhelm?
I realize that's what Dark Horse chose for his name, but it's really quite a stupid choice. It's not a translation, it's a transliteration of the Japanese. May as well call Guts the KUROI KENSHI (Black Swordsman), and refer to the Dragon Slayer a DAI KEN (big sword). Hanafubuku Oh isn't his name--it's translated as the King of Flower Storm. Or if you want a more generic term, he's the Elf King. I think Hanafubuku became popular because people didn't like saying King of Flower Storm.
That sucks to learn. I would have prefer to read the real translation rather then the transliteration. Didn't they do something weird with Skullknight's sword too? Oh no if I'm not wrong they just fucked up the translation for that sword...
Dark Horse calls the technique "The Sword of Actuation."
Wasn't it supposed to be "the sword of resonance"?
I didn't notice it until today when reviewing the actual magazine, but the ending text in the bonus episode of Gigantomakhia does mention Falconia, Rickert and Erica. So, odds are high that's what 334 will be.
Excellent, glad I just completed my manga collection today with the arrival of Volume 16. Hopefully the new episode will be out before I reach Vol. 37 as it will give me more to devour.

The Age of Scarcity
Welcome to the Web Site of Depletion Scotland. We are a group of individuals based in Scotland, who are concerned that global oil, gas, coal and uranium extraction has peaked, or soon will peak, and decline in a see-saw manner (i.e. a general decline with occasional minor recoveries). We carry out various activities to promote discussion of Peak Energy such as writing reports/ media articles, presentations to interested groups etc.
Contents - this page
ASPO Conference, May-June 2012
30 May 1 June 2012, Vienna
Vienna will be host to the 10th annual ASPO Conference, a gathering of international top experts on the depletion of fossil fuels and energy availability. The conference will provide attendees the latest updates on a wide range of energy issues including fossil fuel availability, short and long term economic consequences of increasing energy prices, and energy supply and demand scenarios. Our wide ranging audience of decision makers, scientists, the business sector, public authorities and NGOs will ensure discussions and networking opportunities on an international in-depth level.
Peak Coal
(Peak) COAL - The Roundup Articles on Peak Coal started coming thick and fast during 2007. This article summarizes 5 reports that came out in the first half of 2007. As they are mostly from different sources and covering the issue from different angles, they should have resulted in a bit more public interest than was achieved (none).

Nuclear Energy
Many people think nuclear energy will help to overcome the problems brought on by Peak Oil. Here are three articles that suggest it won't. A major problem to be overcome is that apart from having to build thousands of nuclear reactors (eventually), we would not actually have the fuel to feed them (uranium 235).Nuclear Energy - Depletion Scotland

Under fire for its historic lack for black female cast members, "Saturday Night Live" is holding auditions to add an African American woman to the cast.
But will it be enough?
The veteran series sponsored a showcase exclusively for black women last week at the Groundlings Theatre and held another showcase in New York, although sources declined to say whether that it was also for black women exclusively. At least one additional showcase will be held.
The search has commenced after cast member Jay Pharoah complained in October that the show was too white.

Lorne Michaels, creator of the series, has said finding a black woman for the cast is a "priority."
Although the show appears to be moving forward with trying to add a black woman, it remains to be seen whether the current effort is more than a stopgap attempt to silence critics or if more efforts are underway to add other ethnic minorities besides African Americans to the predominantly white cast.
"SNL" has hired only white performers from CBS' annual Diversity Sketch Comedy Showcase featuring mostly people of color — young blacks, Latinos, Asians and Indians.
One participant in the 2011 showcase was current "SNL" performer Kate McKinnon, who is gay.

A one-off meme started by Andrew of Spittoon, exploring the eating habits of food bloggers across the world.
My breakfasts are quite varied, depending on my appetite, day of the week, time of the day (it can be anything from 8am to noon, even on weekdays), time of going to bed night before etc etc. There is no fixed Sunday breakfast - apart from the fact that I tend to have it outside and it tends to be accompanied by newspapers. So instead of blogging only about what I had on Sunday, here are snapshots of some of my breakfasts this week...
Breakfast (almost) in bed. Had a leisurely breakfast sitting on the floor next to my bed, basking in the winter sun and listening to BBC Radio 4's Women's Hour..
A big cup of wild strawberry flavoured black tea from Fortnum & Mason. A tub of Tesco Finest Swiss Black Cherry Yogurt. A clementine. A slice of cranberry orange loaf. A piece of yummy Turkish feta and spinach pie baked by my temporary flatmate. Mmmm...
Got up at 8am. I am teaching on Thursdays, so I need to get up far too early for my liking – too stressed to stay in bed anyway. A tub of above yogurt in the kitchen, followed by a cup of latte and chocolate croissant in Peckhams, my favourite deli that is conveniently on my way to work.
After a long night in (a Scottish meal of haggis, neeps & tatties, cranachan and wine and whiskymacs at my place, story to follow), I get up very late on Saturday. Head for a latte and blueberry muffin at BeanScene, where I am greeted with this gorgeous smiley face.
Have another Estonian visitor in Edinburgh, this time a friend studying in London. Head for a proper Scottish fry up at Native State on Bristo Square. Not really my kind of place in the evenings – lots of pre-club drinkers, huge TV screens showing sports and loud music. But years of testing and tasting have shown their fry up to be one of the best and I come here about once or twice a month. You get a huge meal, glass of juice and a cup of tea or coffee for £4.50 as long as you order before 11am. Good incentive to get out of bed early :)
I am not vegetarian, but I don't really fancy loads of meat first thing in the morning. So I usually go for the vegetarian breakfast. And although I quite like haggis, both in its traditional and vegetarian form (especially McSweeney's of Edinburgh haggis), the Native State own recipe haggis isn't for me. So instead of haggis I usually ask for an extra sausage. Scrambled eggs, baked beans, tomato, mushrooms, hash brown, potato scone, toast and butter. Orange juice and cafetiere coffee.

Good Morning, Pille ! So I get up and what do I do first - check your blog just to see a whole choice of yummy breakfasts. You make me hungry. I think I have to change my plans and get me one at my favourite coffeeshop, after accompanying Gino to his school class (dog therapy) from 8.15 to 9. Then both of us will be hungry ;-) Have a nice day, angelika

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO---The Capistrano Unified School District Board of Trustees have approved a College Readiness Block Grant Plan from the State of California totaling $467,371. The plan will be implemented and the money will be spent over the next three years, with a goal to provide unduplicated high school students (low income English learners and foster youth) in the District the support they need to increase college readiness and access to higher education.
"We want to provide every support possible to assist our students in college admissions and successfully completing an undergraduate degree in four years," said Board of Trustees President Amy Hanacek. "This grant is a great support of our goal for every high school graduate to have an implementable plan for college, career or the military on the Monday after graduation."
The grant money will be used to help students achieve college and career readiness. An additional college and career counselor will be hired who is bilingual in Spanish to provide group sessions and meetings for parents. Test fees for the ACT and SAT will be reimbursed to qualifying unduplicated students. College guidance, test preparation, supplies, reference materials, books, software and printing materials will all support our students through the college admissions process.
"Helping to prepare our students for life after high school will help ensure their future success," Hanacek said. "Our future leaders are worth this investment," Hanacek says.
With Board approval of the grant, the first meeting for parents and students is January 10 in the District Office board room from 7:00-8:30 p.m. Saturday ACT and SAT test preparation counseling is tentatively slated for April 1- May 20.

Jramirez necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 62 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
We are a manufacturing company that designs and markets fluid heaters. We sell to companies like Samsung, Hewlett Packard, Seagate, and Medtronic and many more big name companies worldwide. Our products fit into their production lines. In certain areas they need to heat fluids such as acid or high purity water. They need a special heater to heat accurately, safely and still maintain the purity levels of their fluids so that their parts are not contaminated or damaged. Our heaters included patented and proprietary technology which allows us to heat fluids while maintaining the purity of the process. This is important to high tech companies making very critical parts such as semiconductors, disk drives and medical devices.
Our target audiences are Engineers and Technicians working at high tech manufacturing companies. We sell to the companies they work for, but they make the decisions. These people are working at companies that make semiconductors, disk drives, medical devices and solar cells. They are proud to be involved in making leading edge innovative products. Many spend part of their time working in clean rooms. They also spend lots of time on computers designing and taking care of all the details required to successfully make highly sophisticated components. These components then go on into devices such as ipods and computers. They are typically highly educated. We sell worldwide. The international customers know English.
Our company name is made up by combining Heater with Flexible.
We are looking for a logo that can be used to continue branding our company as it grows and gets more recognition. Some of the concepts we are trying to get across are:
High purity,
High technology,
The core of our product line is a heating element coil that is encapsulated in Teflon (see attached photo).
Corporate color is Blue (see attached sample brochure)
The new design should look good in color as well as black and white.
The new logo should NOT have flames because this would imply that our products will cause fires/accidents.
Our old logo can be used as a starting point but we feel that it is too complex and incorporates too many elements (see attached Logo file). The old logo is also hard to duplicate on publicity materials.

Train were inescapable during the turn of the 21st century, when songs like "Calling All Angels" and "Drops of Jupiter" made the San Francisco residents some of America's most popular balladeers. Although formed during the glory days of post-grunge, the group found more success in the pop/rock world, where Train straddled the line between adult contemporary and family-friendly alternative rock. The hits began drying up after 2003, but Train continued releasing material throughout the rest of the decade and even returned to the charts in 2010, when the single "Hey, Soul Sister" became a surprise Top Ten hit.
Following the dissolution of his Led Zeppelin cover band, singer Pat Monahan left his hometown of Erie, Pennsylvania in late 1993. He resettled in California and crossed paths with Rob Hotchkiss, the former frontman of a Los Angeles group named the Apostles. The two formed their own duo and began playing local coffeehouse shows, eventually expanding the group to a trio with the addition of former Apostles guitarist Jimmy Stafford. Bassist Charlie Colin and drummer Scott Underwood also climbed aboard, thus solidifying Train's lineup in 1994.
Over the course of several years, Train developed a sizable audience in the San Francisco area. The band also toured the country, opening shows for the likes of Barenaked Ladies and Counting Crows while drumming up enough money to record an album. Although few labels showed interest at first, Train eventually attracted the interest of Columbia Records, who signed the band to one of its smaller labels -- Aware Records -- and issued the self-financed debut record Train in 1998. "Meet Virginia" became a Top 40 hit one year later, but the band truly hit its stride in 2001, when Drops of Jupiter became a multi-platinum success thanks to its titular single. The song remained in the Top 40 for nearly 40 weeks, while the album itself sold more than three million copies.
My Private Nation followed in 2003 and went platinum, largely due to the successful single "Calling All Angels." Although the album didn't yield any more Top 40 hits, three of its songs fared well on the adult contemporary charts, a sign that Train had traded its alternative rock roots for an older fan base. For Me, It's You followed in 2006, but sales proved to be the lowest of Train's career. Accordingly, Monahan briefly turned his focus inward, releasing a solo album in 2007 and briefly touring behind it. He returned to the fold shortly thereafter, though, and Train issued their fifth album, Save Me, San Francisco, in 2009. The album helped rejuvenate Train's career, with "Hey, Soul Sister" peaking at number three on the Billboard 100. In 2012, the band released its sixth studio album, California 37, which debuted at number four on the Billboard chart.
Despite these successes, the bandmembers felt that mainstream "cool" continued to elude them. Monahan spoke of wanting to record an album that was more commercial, but would also connect emotionally with the public. With these ambitious goals, they knuckled down to writing and recording a new album, though without drummer and founding member Scott Underwood, who left the band amicably before production began and was replaced by Drew Shoals. Train's seventh studio album, Bulletproof Picasso, was finished in 2014 and released in September of that year. It was preceded by the slick, country-tinged single "Angel in Blue Jeans," which didn't make many waves on the charts. Nevertheless, the album debuted at five on the Billboard Top 200.
A year later, after Bulletproof Picasso failed to generated any subsequent hit singles -- "Cadillac, Cadillac" and "Bulletproof Picasso" did make the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart -- Train released the seasonal Christmas in Tahoe. The following summer, Train covered the entirety of Led Zeppelin's second album with Does Led Zeppelin II; the album peaked at 71 on Billboard. In September 2016, Train released "Play That Song," the first taste from their tenth album. Not long afterward, lead guitarist Jimmy Stafford announced he was leaving the band on good terms. He did not play on a girl a bottle a boat, which appeared in January 2017. The following year saw the band issue the collaborative singles "Philly Forget Me Not" (with Daryl Hall and John Oates) and "Call Me, Sir" (with Cam and Travie McCoy). ~ Andrew Leahey
