Maximize assets, optimize supply chain and reduce costs. Improve supply-and-demand forecasts. Track leading indicators to adjust your operations to changing market conditions. Control costs while maintaining health, safety and environmental standards.
Qlik enables organizations to harness supply chain analytics and explore data and processes in unprecedented ways. The result is better decision making, operational improvement and supply chain optimization.
Maximize asset integrity management—improve reliability, reduce downtime and prioritize resource allocation effectively. Extend your asset integrity management analytics across both static and dynamic assets.
Use the power of Qlik's associative engine to investigate your debtor position intra-month. Then drill right down from your overall debt position to identify individual debtors and their debt profile to create better-informed collections campaigns.
Hear how Wheelabrator was able to convert waste into electricity with their Business Excellence information processing initiative.
"We can now call information up on an ad-hoc basis and analysis time has been cut by 80 percent. With consistent data provision throughout the company, we can be sure that information is correct. Beforehand, we simply had to trust our instinct. Nowadays, we can see immediately when payment defaults are accumulating in a particular region or customer group. We are able to take control measures to counteract this, for example, by prepayment or security payment rules."
"Leading utility company British Gas consolidates data with Qlik on Hadoop. The company's Smart Metering program already has deployed over one million smart meters and is targeting 16 million by 2020. The data lake contains more than nine billion records and takes in data from sources including over 150 SAP tables. British Gas managers can now find out "what the company isn't doing well and can change."
"It's not enough to have information available, you have to able to analyze it as well."
"We can't stress how much of a timesaver Qlik is for us. As data analysts, we want to be proactive with our analysis, and Qlik helps us to do this in areas such as data consolidation, collaboration and interactive analysis. We're now able to get smarter with data and therefore make more informed decisions about the business."
"Qlik enables individuals throughout the organization to generate reports without the intervention of dedicated data analysts or the IT department. This not only reduces the cost and time it takes to deliver reports, but also ensures those reports are always up to date."
"Traditional BI software lacked the fast time to market that we, as a utility, required and was much less cost effective than Qlik. Qlik delivered a true and interactive enterprise reporting tool with complete flexibility and a rapid return on investment."
"Most of our improvements with Qlik have been in relation to our customer satisfaction. Being able to really understand what is causing our customers' pain and being able to solve, not only the problem for that individual customer but understanding how we can improve that for the rest of our customers has been a real insight within Qlik."
"Qlik is an extremely flexible platform that allows business side development, IS side control, and the mixing of controlled and uncontrolled data."
"The introduction of Qlik was experienced as quite shocking as it broke down the traditional perception of BI as a sluggish, expensive platform requiring a huge IT development effort. Qlik created the opportunity to take BI to the next level at Essent."
"Qlik allows us to combine different types of sensitive cybersecurity data requiring highly sophisticated governance."

Yea, yea. I know, I'm supposed to be talking about patch 5.0 and how to get ready for it. But I'm not! (I'm such a rebel! Look out now!). Instead I'm going to talk about something else: finishing games.
A couple of weeks ago I saw that there was a new Kingdom Hearts out for the 3DS. I just had to have it, and so I asked Brade if he could pick me up a copy so that I could enjoy it. He gave me the look, you know the one, it's the one that says "but you have all of these other unfinished games (and unstarted!) that you can play!". But none the less the next day he came home from work and lovingly handed me a copy of the new Kingdom Hearts and I was quite excited.
However, this copy of Kingdom Hearts, that I just had to have, is still sitting on my desk unopened and unplayed. Which is actually kind of sad, because I can play the 3DS without too much discomfort to my hands. And, well, it's borderline tragic because hello it's KINGDOM HEARTS. If you've never played the series, perhaps you don't understand. But getting to kick ass with Mickey and Sora is just, well, magical (plus….Gummy Ships, just sayin'). Read the rest of this entry »

Information Security
Guarding Against Inadvertent Data Exposure
Learn how information security can prevent data theft from document exposure, social networking, unauthorized document sharing, and inappropriate email usage.
Information security is essential, as information disclosure can happen when an employee posts to their Facebook account, or accidentally holds confidential data in plain view. The costs of information security breaches, in terms of money and company credibility, are high.
All organizations need to use information security to prevent disclosure of intellectual property. This document discusses examples of inadvertent (or intentional) disclosures, and shows how information security can protect data in a range of environments.
Information Security to Prevent Document Wrapping
The United Kingdom's senior anti-terror policeman recently resigned after being photographed with a confidential document exposed. Digital photographic technology enhanced the ability to enlarge and read the sensitive data.
A cover sheet, binder, or other container should be always be used to provide information security against inadvertent disclosure.
Information Security on Social Networking Websites
Social networking sites are under no contractual obligation to provide information security for companies whose employees post to such sites. Social networking discussions are also harvested by competitive information professionals.
Companies should have official information security policies for social networking, to make sure that sensitive corporate data is not placed on these sites.
Information Security and Document Classification Standards
The FBI recently arrested a former employee of an unidentified firm for trade secret theft. He was sending programming source code and promotional materials to his personal email account, and sharing this information in unauthorized competitor meetings.
Organizations should make sure that data custodians know the information security classification process of the enterprise, and use basic documentation classification standards.
Information Security for Email Handling
Email providers are under no obligation to provide information security at the level that a corporation may protect.
Organizations must educate employees about information security for company email. Employees should never send proprietary company information to personal email accounts, even if they are working at home.
For more information please visit: Security

Welcome to Tortuga Del Mar Beachfront Lodge, Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica
Beachfront LodgingLocated in Playa Hermosa on Costa Rica's central pacific coast, Tortuga del Mar mends the original beauty of a tropical lodge with its exquisite setting right on a pristine black sand beach. Set in a tropical garden with beachfront pool, shaded rancho and lounging areas, you'll stay right at the beach and steps from Hermosa's world class surf.
Truely TropicalAt Tortuga del Mar the vibrant soul of the tropics is always present, from the birdsongs at sunrise through sunny days and the stunning sunsets over the ocean into the night, when the tropical ambience merges with the sound of the surf and thunder rolling in the distance.
With scarlett macaws and pelicans passing by, humming-birds and morpho butterflies feeding on the abundance of hibiscus flowers and the scent of butterfly lillies and plumeria trees carried past by a gentle breeze, you'll feel truely emerged in a tropical environment; an environment we care for. That's why Tortuga del Mar features tropical, energy efficient architecture and appliances, biological wastewater treatment and a recycling program, besides many other efforts to keep our presence at this marvelous spot sustainable.
Rooms and StudiosSet in the two story hotel building, all our spacious units have balcony access with ocean view or private terraces on the ground floor. All rooms are furnished in a tropical-modern style and have A/C, wireless internet access, in-room safe, refrigerator, coffee-maker, private bath with hot water and an outside lounging area.
The studios additionally have a microwave oven and basic cups, plates and utensils.
With different set-ups to accomodate your individual needs, our units sleep up to four guests comfortably on locally custom made queen and twin beds with orthopaedic matresses.
SurfingPlaya Herrmosa is well known for its consistent, juicy waves year round. The surf is quite powerful for a sand bottom break, and the shifting peaks create barreling lefts and rights. The best tide to surf out front is medium to high tide, depending on the swell.
During the dry season (Jan. through Apr.) the waves tend to be smaller, whereas in the rainy season the winter storms in the south pacific cause the powerful swells that intermediate to advanced surfers wait for. Water temperature is about 27° - 30° C (82° - 86° F) year round, so forget about bringing a wetsuit.
Other world class surf spots like La Escondida and Boca Barranca as well as a multitude of different beachbreaks are nearby. Tortuga del Mar offers surf lessons, advanced guided surf sessions and surf photography.

Gene Expression & Molecular Cloning
Gene expression uses techniques including gene transfer, molecular cloning and transformation. PCR and gel electrophoresis are used to amplify and separate DNA respectively. Cells are then transformed using vectors. DNA can be labeled for subsequent analysis. Gene expression kits are commonly available complete with enzymes (polymerases and restriction endonucleases), size markers, DNA probes and primers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before driving, check with the Caltrans Highway Information Network (CHIN) 800.427.7623
The following questions and answers represent some of the comments and requests the Department has received regarding the Highway Condition Information.
1. I occasionally see things that need repair or
seem to have been overlooked for some
time such as pot holes, guardrail and signs that are down; how can I report these to Caltrans?
The conditions that you describe can be reported on our
web site at the following location:
http://www.dot.ca.gov/maintform.html This is a form to fill out for Maintenance related problems such as the ones you mentioned. There is also a form that can be filled out for problems related
to traffic or construction and that form is located at: http://www.dot.ca.gov/pioform.html
2. How do I report highway emergencies such as large pieces of debris in the road that are causing traffic to swerve severely and may immediately cause an accident?
The web pages are not the proper place to report highway emergencies. E-mail may not be read immediately. A report sent to us about an emergency situation may not be read for several days.
If you see large pieces of debris on the traveled way that are causing traffic to swerve sharply or slow down quickly it should be reported immediately by calling the CHP or 911. CHP will advise Caltrans crews immediately of the danger and dispatch a crew or set up a traffic break to remove the danger.
3. Why isn't there a date and time stamp in each of your highway files?
At one time we did put the time and date in each file, but we discontinued that practice because many people were under the mistaken impression that a time stamp several hours old was not current information. To the contrary, our office is staffed 24 hours a day, year around. The road information is constantly being updated. What you see on the Web Site or hear on the recording is always the latest information we have received. It won't change or be updated unless the information changes.
We now have available a means to view the last time or date the highway files were last edited or changed however, this does not show when an incident in the file was last changed, added or deleted.
4. Why don't you show all of the planned construction or maintenance projects in your files?
Planned closures are exactly that, planned. There are approximately 500 projects a day planned for our highways statewide. Frequently these projects are suspended for the day for many reasons, including inclement weather and manpower shortages. We put information out that we know is affecting the normal flow of traffic and therefore the most useful to travelers. Listing projects that won't disrupt traffic could be misleading. For example, if you saw a long list of projects affecting the route you were planning to use, you may decide to take another route that would be considerably longer and more time-consuming. But in reality, perhaps only one project in the list on your original planned route may be affecting the flow of traffic. Therefore, we only list those projects that we know are affecting the normal flow of traffic.
5. Do you have an FTP site and how can we down load your information to our site?
We do not have an FTP site. We can assist you on an individual basis if you are another governmental agency or have a specific web site, but we cannot accommodate every single user. Send us an E-mail note and we will contact you with instructions.
6. We would like to see graphic files of each highway. Why don't you use more graphics?
Graphics are nice and enhance many web sites. We don't use a lot of graphics because of space limitations and it takes much longer for complex graphics to load into your computer. Motorists check the Highway Condition page to save time. We don't want to make them wait for important highway information because of slow-loading graphics.
7. When you receive information about a certain highway, how long does it take to update your recordings and the Internet?
Under normal circumstances it takes our dispatchers about
3-5 minutes to prepare and transmit the information to the Internet and
on the Highway Information recordings.
8. What kind of equipment do you use to produce your highway information?
Our main server is a Hewlett Packard 9000 series server with a Unix operating system. Dispatchers use standard Wintel workstations with a Unix software interface.
9. What is the maximum speed limit on rural two lane highways, the vehicle code states 65 MPH but I only see 55 MPH signs posted?
Senate Bill 848 (SB-848) was enacted in early April 1996. This bill repealed, amended and added sections to the vehicle code. Those sections have not yet been published in the code books. The code now reads:
22349. (a) Except as provided in Section 22356, no person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than 65 miles per hour.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall drive a vehicle upon a two-lane, undivided highway at a speed greater than 55 miles per hour unless that highway, or portion thereof, has been posted for a higher speed by the Department of Transportation or appropriate local agency upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey. For purposes of this subdivision, a two lane, undivided highway is a highway with not more than two through lanes and does not include passing lanes.
(c) It is the intent of the Legislature that there be reasonable signing on affected two-lane, undivided highways described in subdivision (b) in continuing the 55 miles-per-hour speed limit, including placing signs at county boundaries to the extent possible, and at other appropriate locations. 70 MPH speed limits have been implemented on specific sections of some routes in California.
10. Do you have a page available that tells how to decipher your road information in the highway files?
Yes we do. Click here to get the information.
11. Are studded snow tires, cable chains and automatic traction devices (ATD's) legal in California?
We provide a portion of the California Vehicle Code on tires and traction devices on our web site. For information on studded tires click on section 27454 and read 27454, 27454b and 27454e regarding studded tires. For information on cable chains and ATD's click on 27459 and read sections 27459, 27459.5 and Section 605.
"What are ATD's?" Automatic Traction Devices (ATD) are traction devices that can be deployed by the driver as needed. They are used primarily on Emergency vehicles, such as fire trucks and ambulances, and occasionally school buses. ATD's are sometimes installed on large trucks and a few of the snow plows in Caltrans' fleet. Due to their initial cost and inability to be used on front-wheel drive steering axles, they are not normally installed or used on cars.
If you would like to view a full version of the California Vehicle Code it can be located at the following location, under California Law: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov
12. What happened to the Daily Snow Depth Report?
The Daily Snow Depths have been removed because the information is no longer viable. Many of the sites where the information was recorded were all manually read and many times the information was not reliable. The snow depth stations are very old and several have been removed from service. We feel that the information provided was no longer reliable enough to warrant posting.
A more comprehensive report on snow conditions is avaialble through the Department of Water Resources at: http://cdec.water.ca.gov/snow/current/snow

Machine Head Holding Public Bassist Auditions for 2013 Mayhem Festival Dates
Listen up, bassists, because the chance of a lifetime may be within your grasp. Machine Head are holding public auditions to find a temporary bass player. The goal of Machine Head's new experiment? Finding a stellar musician to perform with the band on this year's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival tour.
In a shocking turn of events last month, Machine Head fired original bassist Adam Duce after over 20 years of holding down the low end for the band. A general statement was released in Feb. 22 announcing that Machine Head and Duce had parted ways, but only four days later, frontman Robb Flynn offered a painfully honest explanation regarding Duce's exit. According to Flynn, booting Duce from Machine Head was one of the hardest moments of his life, although he believes that Duce had mentally quit the band "well over a decade ago."
To find a temporary bassist for the duration of the Mayhem Festival, Machine Head turned to the 767,000+ fans on their Facebook page:
Machine Head will begin the process of searching for a temporary bassist replacement for this summer's Mayhem Festival in the U.S. Interested in trying out? For a limited time the band will accept and review YouTube submissions that include the following:
1) Video: A standalone performance of the songs listed below, just yourself, singing and playing bass along to the the tracks off the albums. **Camera phone is fine as long as it's stable**
2) A brief 1- to 2-minute statement about your musical experience; playing, touring experience, etc.
Please upload your videos to YouTube and e-mail a link (or links) to firstname.lastname@example.com that includes the following songs:
1) This Is The End
2) Halo
3) Beautiful Mourning
Once the band has narrowed down potential candidates, they will hold tryouts in person at a to-be-determined location.
Get to work, bassists! Record some footage and put yourselves in the running to share the stage with Machine Head on the 2013 Mayhem Fest!

Join Record Store Day On April 21
According to Record Store Day co-founder Michael Kurtz, Fin Brown, the son of Record Store Day visionary Chris Brown, may have said it best: "For religion, we have Christmas, but for music, we have Record Store Day."
Music's annual worldwide party, Record Store Day, is set to take place April 21 at independent record stores around the world. But before music lovers seeking to snag one of the many limited-edition releases, or take in one of the various live performances happening at record stores around the country, GRAMMY.com has your exclusive interview with two of the principals behind Record Store Day and independent music retail — Kurtz and Amoeba Music co-owner Marc Weinstein.
Kurtz discussed the beginnings of Record Store Day, including early artist participants such as Paul McCartney and Metallica, some of this year's exclusive releases, and the evolution of Record Store Day at, among other topics, at Amoeba Music in Hollywood, Calif.
"In the end we decided to call it Record Store Day because that was something that everybody could relate to," says Kurtz. "Metallica were the first band to say, 'We love it.' … And then Paul McCartney sent us an email … saying it reawakened his love of record stores. When we got the email from him, we knew we were onto something. And it just exploded from there."
Today, one of the main highlights of Record Store Day is artist participation, from exclusive limited-edition releases to live in-store performances. This year the Flaming Lips will release an exclusive two-disc vinyl package, limited to 10,000 copies, of The Flaming Lips And Heady Fwends, the first-ever album recorded specifically for Record Store Day. The album includes collaborations with Bon Iver, Coldplay's Chris Martin and Ke$ha, among others. A limited amount of releases contain the actual blood of some of the project's collaborators, perhaps as a metaphor of how much of themselves artists put into their craft. Additional Record Store Day exclusives included releases by Arcade Fire, David Bowie, the Civil Wars, Foster The People, Buddy Guy, Paul McCartney, Metallica, and Katy Perry, among others.
"What [frontman Wayne Coyne is] doing is creating something really unique and it sends the message [that] this is made by real people," says Kurtz. "He's epitomized what Record Store Day is about."
With Amoeba Music housing hundreds of thousands of vinyl LPs, Weinstein shared a similar sentiment: Record Store Day celebrates music as it was meant to be celebrated — as a form of art.
"[Record stores are] a place to express your passion about music that is unlike anything else in the world," says Weinstein. "In order for people to go experience visual art, they have to go to a museum … it's a place people can go to really express how much they love art. … To me, that's what a record store always was [and] always should be. And Amoeba kind of makes that a real part of who we are."
Launched in 2007 as a means for music fans worldwide to celebrate the unique culture of independently owned record stores, Record Store Day takes place on the third Saturday in April each year. Record stores and artists come together to celebrate the art of music with special vinyl and CD releases and various exclusive promotional products, as well as live performances. This year's Record Store Day Ambassador is Iggy Pop.
Founded in 1990, Amoeba Music has emerged as one of the largest independent record store chains in the United States, with three California locations in Berkeley, Hollywood, Calif., and San Francisco. Renowned for its diverse selection, from Top 40 to underground rock, hip-hop, soul, electronica, and world music, in 2010 Amoeba Music was named one of the best record stores in the United States by Rolling Stone. In addition to housing its own record label, Amoeba Records, Amoeba Music administers initiatives such as Home Grown, a program highlighting local independent music.

The body of 31-year-old Paul Osborne was found floating face-down in the pool shortly before 3 a.m., according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. The club's manager, Jill Lakey, told the newspaper that Osborne, a member and a frequent late-night swimmer, was already dead when he was found, despite efforts by the club's staff to resuscitate him.
Lakey also told the newspaper that the club has signage that states the club does not post lifeguards at the pool.
"It's posted and we don't intend on changing that," she said.
The club announced on its Web site that all pools at its West End location were closed until further notice.Police do not suspect foul play, the newspaper reported.

I find the letter from the EiC of Synthese rather cryptic and I don't think it should be satisfying to anyone who took the petition seriously. The petition is as follows:
"We, as members of the philosophical community, call upon the Editors-in-Chief of Synthese to:
1. Respond forthrightly to the allegations in the 'open letter' from Glenn Branch and James Fetzer, the Guest Editors of the special issue on "Evolution and Its Rivals" (their open letter is available here:
2. Apologize to the Guest Editors and the contributors for the unprofessional manner in which this issue, and the insertion of a "disclaimer," were handled.
3. Retract the "disclaimer" in a subsequent print edition of Synthese.
4. Disclose the nature of complaints and/or legal threats from Francis Beckwith, his supporters, and supporters of Intelligent Design that were received by the Editors-in-Chief after the on-line publication of "Evolution and Its Rivals" last year."
As to the first point, about the allegations made in Branch and Fetzer's letter, the EiC do come clean about some relevant aspects of the editorial process. They seem to acknowledge that the guest editors had good reason to think that no disclaimer would be included. Yet, they do not say why the guest editors or contributors were not informed about the disclaimer. They only say they were "unable to properly communicate" the final decision to the guest editors. Why "properly"? It doesn't seem that they communicated it at all, properly or improperly. And why not? Could it have been a legal issue? I find it strange.
Also about the first point, the letter from Branch and Fetzer also mentions pressure the EiC placed on Barbara Forrest to revise her paper after it had already been published online, but the EiC do not address this point in their response to the petition.
As for the second and third points, the EiC do not apologize or suggest that they are considering retracting the disclaimer.
Finally, they do not disclose the nature of the legal threats they have received, but they do confirm that they have received such threats. Most interestingly, they say that the "challenges" posed by these threats make it impossible for them to disclose the nature of the threats. And they make a point of saying that the threats do not come from Christian philosophers. They make this point twice, in fact. I don't see why it had to be made once. Perhaps they are telling us that Francis Beckwith did not threaten them with legal action. Does he count as a Christian philosopher? Maybe so, I don't know. But either way, somebody who works with him could have done it. Or maybe he wasn't involved in the threats. That was never much of an issue. Who cares if the threats are coming from philosophers? In fact, if the Discovery Institute or some such organization is behind this, then we wouldn't expect them to send philosophers to make legal threats and negotiate terms, would we?
I think we can draw some conclusions here: After the special edition of Synthese was published online, the EiC were threatened by legal action. These threats came from Christian ID supporters, probably executives or administrators of some kind. These legal threats were so imposing that the EiC (possibly under pressure from Springer) cut the guest editors out of the loop, published the disclaimer, gave Francis Beckwith unusual leeway in responding to Barbara Forrest, and are now under legal advisement not to discuss any of these facts openly, other than to say what is required to take full responsibility for their actions.
It is possible that they made some or all of these decisions before receiving any legal threats. They do not say one way or the other. But if they only received legal threats after any of these important decisions had been made, you would think they'd mention that fact.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of miscommunication and ignorance about the whole affair. Some PhD students and philosophy professors I talked to in Szczecin had gotten the wrong idea about what had happened and what the petition was about. There's also an attitude going around that the disclaimer was harmless and that "the Americans" are blowing it out of proportion. Also, I talked to Michael Devitt (CUNY) about it the other day. He didn't know about the petition until he got to Poland on Thursday. He said he doesn't follow blogs, and nobody had mentioned it to him before.

Most modern laptops with intel processors after sandy bridge, comes with its own graphics card (or graphics memory). If you happen to purchase such laptop with discrete graphics card from AMD or Nvidia, your configuration becomes a hybrid graphics setup. Hybrid graphics cards have long and painful history under Linux. Therefore, if you don't follow the usual channel (your operating system provided) of installing it, you might run into lots of problems because of inconsistencies between Xorg/mesa, graphics vendor drivers and the kernel. In this tutorial, I will talk about different approaches I take while installing the driver. This tutorial is valid for Elementary OS/Ubuntu and other ubuntu derivatives as well.

Which E Unit (or was it F---I'm not that good that i can tell) did you get the Southern logo from? Great idea using the logos this way. I'm a volunteer at the Southeastern Railway Museum (Duluth, Georgia), and I had wanted to do something with all those cool signs and logos but couldn't figure out what that would be---this will give me a better jumping off point. Don't worry, it wouldn't look anything like yours because we don't have most of these! Plus I was thinking more of using railroad signs and symbols, etc. Nice work BTW.
Mike McGlothlen replied:
I shot the front of the engine with Southern logo at the NC Transportation Museum in Spencer, NC. I'm glad I could help you with your project, good luck!
This is a nice "collage" I guess you would call this? Love it!

Forza Horizon Rally Expansion
With just a few more days until the launch of Forza Horizon starting on October 23, the news for the game keeps coming strong. As if hitting the open roads of Colorado wasn't enough, today we're unveiling the first glimpse of the first expansion pack for Forza Horizon… and rally fans, this one's for you. The "Forza Horizon Rally Expansion Pack" is coming on December 18 to Xbox LIVE and will be available for 1,600 MS Points (or included as part of the Forza Horizon Season Pass).
Delivering an immersive and authentic rally racing experience on the roughest untamed roads of Colorado, the "Forza Horizon Rally Expansion Pack" will offer Horizon players an outstanding off-road racing experience with deeper ruts, higher jumps, and new surface types to explore. Players will experience authentic rally action behind the wheel of rally-tuned cars, complete with co-driver calls, and much more.
Look for further details on the "Forza Horizon Rally Expansion Pack" in the coming weeks, leading up to the release of the pack on December 18.
Forza Horizon Season Pass Details: We've got the full details on the Forza Horizon Season Pass below, including newly announced content that makes the Season Pass an even better value to Forza Horizon fans.
Here's the complete rundown of content available to Forza Horizon Season Pass owners:
Month One Car Pack
The Month One Car Pack for Forza Horizon will be available starting on October 23 and will include six cars for use in Forza Horizon:
2012 Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione -- It's notable that Ferrari considers itself a racing team first and automaker second. Leaving no gaps in the realm of elite performance, the XX line was created to bridge between Formula One and production cars. The Evoluzione has only 30 more horsepower than the previous 599XX but is a full second faster on Ferrari's exclusive Fiorano test track.
2012 Gumpert Apollo Enraged -- One of the biggest and best-kept secrets of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, the Gumpert Apollo Enraged dropped jaws at its unveiling. The ultra-exclusive three units of production are street legal, but realistically are ready-to-race track cars.
2012 Alfa Romeo 8C Spider -- In the tradition of the open-air Giulietta of the 1950's, but with all the performance and technology of the 8C Competizione Coupe, the 8C Spider is as graceful as you'd expect from an Alfa. It is also ready to pounce given a little motivation. Its body lines are supple; its interior boasts exposed carbon fiber and aluminum.
2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 -- Revamping a classic car to match its predecessor is a difficult trick in the car business. The 2012 Mustang Boss 302 does so in every way and then some. Pure fun mixed with nostalgia doesn't get much better than this.
2012 Lamborghini Aventador J -- Sparing no expense, and designed in a total of six weeks for its one prospective customer, Lamborghini created the open-air Aventador J. In its cockpit you won't find any climate control—for obvious reasons—or navigation; they would simply add weight. Powered by the standard Aventador's 700 horsepower 6.5-liter V12, the roofless—and ruthless--J can easily achieve speeds north of 180 mph.
1957 Chevrolet Bel Air -- Before the terms "stanced" or "tuner" were even a thought in the mind of any car enthusiast, there was the '57 Chevy. The Bel Air was the most upscale of the bodies sporting the most chrome and a golden grill. Whether you keep it classic, flourish it in flames, or drop in a big block, it will always get looks.
The Month One Car Pack is included free for Forza Horizon Season Pass owners, or available individually for 400 MS Points.
Six Monthly DLC Car Packs
Beginning in November, Forza Horizon fans will enjoy a steady stream of monthly DLC cars and the Forza Horizon Season Pass will give you instant access to all these cars as they are released. Each monthly DLC pack will include six incredible cars bound for Horizon Festival greatness – from cutting edge supercars to eminently drivable classics and all points in between. Individual DLC car packs will cost 400 MS Points but Season Pass owners will have access to the first six monthly DLC packs, from November 2012 through April 2013, at no additional cost. As always, fans will be able to use their DLC cars in a variety of monthly DLC-focused community events, contests, and challenges, including photo contests, Rivals events, and more.
Forza Horizon Rally Expansion Pack
The Forza Horizon Rally Expansion Pack will include new events, new cars, and new achievements and will cost 1,600 MS Points as a standalone purchase. The Rally Expansion Pack is included in the cost of the "Forza Horizon" Season Pass. Look for more info on this exciting expansion pack in the weeks to come.
Five Exclusive Season Pack Bonus Cars
In addition to the Month 1 Car Pack, the six Monthly DLC Packs and the Rally Expansion Pack, Forza Horizon Season Pass owners will also receive five exclusive Season Pass bonus cars, with one car delivered monthly for the next five months. Season Pass Bonus Cars will be available for download on the third Tuesday of each month from November 2012 through March 2013. The Season Pass Bonus Car for November is the 2006 Lamborghini Miura Concept. Look for more details on future Season Pass Bonus Cars in the coming weeks.
The Forza Horizon Season Pass will cost 4,000 MS Points and represents savings of more than 15 percent over buying the individual content packs. Look for the Forza Horizon Season Pass, available for purchase on Xbox LIVE, beginning on October 23.
"Play and Win" Incentives: Players who purchase and play "Forza Horizon" during the first week of release will receive a free gift car – the 2010 Saleen S5S Raptor; a unicorn car typically only available from the "Forza Horizon" community team. Those who download and play the currently available Xbox LIVE demo for Forza Horizon and then play the full game will receive a 2013 SRT Viper GTS, complete with a custom livery.

watershedfarm necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 350 diseños de 79 diseñadores freelance.
Watershed Farm
We are the owners of a boutique spelling and agistment farm for thoroughbred horses. Clients who own race horses in the city send their horses to our farm for rest and recovery before returning to racing. We also have mares and foals on agistment.
We are trying to promote our business more through advertising on our website http://www.watershed-farm.com and at major city horse sales. Our logo as you can see is very amateur and needs a modern, more professional look and feel. More about what we like below.....
We are targeting professional clients (who mostly live in cities) who have racehorses as a hobby to their busy lives. Therefore, our design needs to be modern, classy and certainly not tacky or gimmicky. Our clients like the look of our high class competitors such as http://www.darleyaustralia.com/homepage/AUS and http://www.coolmore.com/. As you can see, our competitor's logos as short, simple and clean looking (no clipart in their logos). We are trying to achieve a similar look and feel with Watershed Farm. We don't need relevance in our logo to Water (because it is in the title) or to horses (just a very attractive way of presenting our name).
Please look at http://www.watershed-farm.com. We are looking for a design to replace this header. We like the use of our colors (black, white and blue) but please feel free to experiment if you have another idea. We would also like to use our new logo designed as a sign at the front of our farm, and on merchandise such as caps, shirts, jackets and banners.
We would like the words 'Watershed Farm' as our logo and do not need any images with it (although feel free to include one if you think it would enhance our appearance).
The look and feel needs to be clean, modern and classy. Happy to answer any questions you have. (Please look at the websites of our competitors outlined above to get an idea of our presentation goal).
Please feel free to experiment with colors!
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.

From The Files Of October 7, 1993
In late 1991, Fulton County Historical Society applied for a grant to assess the potential for a historic district in downtown McConnellsburg. The grant was approved and now, nearly two years later, the project has come to fruition with the announcement last week that the McConnellsburg Historic District has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places, effective August 9, 1993. The boundaries approved for the district are the same as those set early in 1992 by the Pennsylvania Historic and Museum Commission and include properties facing onto Lincoln Way from the south Fifth Avenue alley on the south side and North Fourth Avenue alley on the north side, west to and including 215 Lincoln Way West on the south side and to and including the R.E. Fleming garage on Lincoln Way West on the north side and properties facing onto Second Street from 401 North Second Street on the west side and 328 North Second Street on the east side south to and including 323 South Second Street on the west side and 334 South Second Street on the east side. And facing onto Market Street from North First Street on the west to and including 206 East Market Street on the north side and continuing to North Third Street on the south side.

40 Years Ago
From The Files Of October 18, 1973
A capacity crowd was at the McConnellsburg firehall on Saturday night to hear special guest state
Secretary of Agriculture James McHale speak at the annual Democratic dinner.
A search party was organized at 8 p.m. on Saturday night by state police, state Game Warden Carl Jarrett and Deputy Warden C.P. Upperman, the Needmore firemen and local residents to hunt for Norman Roy Hauman, 58, of McConnellsburg. Hauman had left his son's residence at 7:30 a.m. that morning to hunt small game and the family became concerned when he failed to return. His body was found at 9:25 p.m., approximately 1 1/2 miles from of his son's home. Death was due to a heart attack.
A pesky new virus that penetrates the body's natural defenses could give Americans a replay of the miserable, flufilled winter of 1968. The new influenza virus bears little resemblance to any of the strains previously known. It is know as the B-Hong Kong-572 strain.
A loud explosive noise was heard by almost every resident in Fulton County on Saturday, which brought people out onto the streets to ask "what happened?" Various explanations were given, including dynamiting at the stone quarries or a plane breaking the sound barrier. Ken Wible, local wit, thought it was a strike he made at that instant at the bowling alley, and some smart Democrat said it was Spiro Agnew banging the door behind him as he left the White House after resigning as vice president. It was later learned that the noise had been heard in at least 10 states, and the most acceptable explanation being that it was a meteorite falling into the earth's atmosphere at high speed. A similar signal was recorded when a meteorite fell in July 1968.
Army Pvt. Michael Morris, son of Mrs. Goldie Schriever of Warfordsburg, completed eight weeks of basic training at U.S. Army Training Center, Infantry, Fort Dix, N.J.

60 Years Ago
From The Files Of October 22, 1953
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Vores were weekend guests of their son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. John Vores of Baltimore.
Miss Mary Trout is confined to her bed with a leg injury that she received in a fall last Sunday.
Mrs. Edith Malcolm of Iowa is visiting her sisters, Mrs. Scott Runyan and Miss Ella Kendall.
Mrs. Dan Grissinger left Tuesday for Pittsburgh to help care for her mother, who recently underwent surgery.
Mr. and Mrs. George M. Paylor, Greencastle, are the parents of twin girls born on October 15.
R. Glenn Sleichter, 43, next month will make his fifth appearance before the state parole board, seeking his release from Eastern State Penitentiary. Sleichter is serving a life sentence for the brutal 1937 slaying of a ward of the Children's Aid Society of Franklin County. The child was 6-yearold Jean Seville, daughter of Willis Seville, who then lived near McConnellsburg.
Carl Paylor, son of Mr. and Mrs. G.M. Paylor of Mc- Connellsburg, who starred in Class C baseball last year in Ogden, Utah, will report to Tulsa, Okla., on March 1, for spring training in Double A ball. This is the final step before entering the major leagues.
Borough Council met in special session with several town citizens on Monday night to discuss the November 15 deadline for the abatement of the discharge of sewerage and wastewater to the stream that runs through the borough. Council rejected all requests for its help, saying the problem belongs to the property owners. With less than a month remaining before the deadline, property owners are worried as to what to do. After November 15, the fine will be $25 a day for polluting the stream.
Eugene Ross Clippinger and Bertha Agnes Young were married on October 10.
The McConnellsburg Borough Authority reported this week that, despite the water shortages in many nearby communities, the supply for McConnellsburg is adequate. The level in the reservoir is as high now as its ordinarily maintained, and there is more water coming in than being used. This situation was brought about by the drilling of a new deep well and the installation of a large pump cable for delivering 100 gallons of water per minute.
John H. Gracey of Water- fall and Paul T. Cromwell of Harrisonville left on Tuesday for Pittsburgh for induction into the armed forces.
The town dump has been posted with signs warning people not to start fires without first obtaining permission from the Forestry Department. Despite this, someone started a fire on Sunday that almost ignited the nearby woods. Borough Council has now decided to treat anyone starting a fire there as an arsonist, and has instructed the chief of police to arrest any person he finds burning trash at the dump.

80 Years Ago
McConnellsburg and community, in fact the whole county, has sustained a real loss in the passing of Dr. John W. Mosser who for more than 34 years lived in this community and gave his services night and day to the relief of pain and suffering. While he had been in failing health for the past several years, his sudden death from a heart attack last Friday, October 13, as he was preparing to retire for the night, came as a shock to the whole community. On April 2, 1902, Dr. Mosser was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth W. Fisher, who preceded him in death in May of this year. His son, Harry, died in May of 1932. These two deaths in less than a year had much to do with hastening the death of Dr. Mosser. His funeral was conducted on Monday afternoon, with Rev. Arthur A. Price, Rev. William J. Lowe, Rev. Donald F. Brake and Rev. Harry L. Jarrett officiating. Never before had such a gathering been seen at a funeral service in Mc- Connellsburg.
Harry R. Bivens, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Bivens of Websters Mill, has been notified of his appointment as a full-time state appraiser and state investigator for the Home Owners' Loan Corporation, a new federal organization designed to refinance liens and encumbrances against homes.
Additional deaths: Mrs. Amelia M. Lowe of Zullinger; William Henry Mellott of near Breezewood; Raymond Shives of near Big Cove Tannery.
Game Protector Orrie Smith of Amaranth was the victim of a severe clubbing on Monday. He was driving along a highway in Bedford County when he noticed a man carrying a sack from which blood was dripping. Smith investigated and found a number of squirrels. This happened at the man's home and, after Smith found the squirrels, a woman leaned from an upstairs window and ordered Smith to put up his hands, pointing a rifle at him. He did, and then another woman appeared and clubbed him over the head with the hunter's gun. Then the violators ran into the house and Smith found himself confronted by three rifles. He then left the scene, got help, returned and arrested the man, who has a number of aliases. The two women have been charged with assault and battery with intent to kill.
Duffey Mellott of Needmore and Mr. and Mrs. D.E. Little of this place left on Monday for Chicago where they will take in the Exposition.
D.P. Bowman of Burnt Cabins returned home on Saturday from his second trip to the World's Fair in Chicago.
Mrs. P.M. Guillard of Wells Tannery suffered a fractured skull last week when she was knocked down by a cow, her head striking a stone pile.
Charles Tice of Breezy Point, says he has canned 99 quarts of huckleberries, 60 quarts of tomatoes, 30 quarts of blackberries, 20 quarts of sweet corn, 20 quarts of plums and 30 quarts of cucumber pickles, besides a cupboard full of jellies and butters. He adds: "What a wonderful wife I'll make the next time I enter the sea of matrimony!"

Long story short: my son is 4 months old. He was breastfed for 3 months before he began refusing the breast. I pumped through that.
Then I got a pulmonary embolism diagnosis and had to stop taking motilium (It changed my heart beat pattern). Supply dropped so much that I can get maybe 50ml from pumping.
I need to know what to do, how to get my supply back. I know its probably the case he'll never feed from the breast again, but I'm keen to pump, but I just can't seem to get a supply up.

Antonio Gaudi's startling, unique architectural and essentially sculptural creations like his undulating walls are presented with clarity and in context in this interesting documentary by Hiroshi Teshigahara. Gaudi was a Catalan, like his well-known fellow artists Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro, and Salvador Dali, and he was inspired by Catalan art of the Middle Ages, specifically the Romanesque Period. Teshigahara provides a background on the region and politics of Cataluna, and reviews the Romanesque Period in art, 1000-1300 C.E., so that viewers can understand where Gaudi was coming from. Then the artist's creations are analyzed in a succinct, careful manner which reveals more to the eye than just uninformed looking could ever do.~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
Director: Hiroshi Teshigahara

Dell this week is throwing its hat into the virtual networking ring with an architecture that initially is long on vision but short on specifics.
Virtual Networking Architecture, according to Dell, is a framework for virtualising, automating and orchestrating network services in data centre, campus and branch environments. VNA is an end-to-end 10G Ethernet blueprint, including 10G top-of-rack and 10G/40G Ethernet distributed core fabrics.
Based on the various virtualisation and automation schemes laid out by Force10 Networks over the past three years—Dell acquired Force10 six months ago—VNA is designed to also encompass servers and storage in the virtual network. It's intended to be an end-to-end software-defined network for specific use cases, like multi-tenant data centres, with support for virtual machine mobility, data centre orchestration and management.
Yet Dell this week declined to detail the technologies that make up VNA. Many are jumping on the OpenFlow bandwagon for SDNs and network virtualisation, but Dell didn't even go that far.
"We're not announcing any of what makes it up," says Arpit Joshipura, chief marketing officer for Dell Networking. "This is a framework, not an SDN announcement. We've done public demos [of OpenFlow on switches] and disclosed directional support for SDNs. This is a first step."
VNA stresses scalable switch fabrics across data centers and campuses, from small, low-power form factors to large chassis-based core switches. It also proposes virtualised services, such as those supported in the Dell/Force10 FTOS operating system and Open Automation framework, for ease of deployment and provisioning.
VNA also relies on tight integration between Dell's switches, servers and storage systems, and support for mobile clients across data centres, campuses and remote sites, such as WLAN access points, tablet computers and smartphones.
Joshipura said Dell will announce specific components of VNA throughout the year. VNA is expected to compete with fabric and SDN architectures from Cisco, Juniper, HP, Brocade, Arista, Avaya, Alcatel-Lucent, Extreme, Enterasys and just about any other player in Ethernet switching, network virtualisation and SDNs.

I think there will come a time at Halloween when I could hand out the remote controls scattered about my house along with candy corn and gum, and satisfy the string of trick-or-treaters that canvass my neighborhood. Honestly, in each room where I listen to music, watch TV or movies I have a minimum of six remotes. It gets tricky, particularly for a reviewer, when one remote will turn on an unwanted component during use of another. I'm not lazy, but it's maddening to leave the chair to turn off a piece of equipment you didn't want to engage in the first place. The universal remote is not a new idea, but most are far more complicated than the originals they intend to replace. If I have a choice between spending an evening listening to music, watching a DVD or reprogramming a half-dozen remotes to do either of the former, the choice is easy. Yamaha offers a couple solutions to corral your electronic devices together under one roof and shed the excess remote baggage.
One Remote To Rule Them All?
At first glance, the YMC-500's remote, with barely a dozen buttons and diminutive size, looks under-equipped to manage an entire A/V system. But Yamaha realizes that most folks just want to play or listen to their devices, and that's what this remote does.
Setup & Features
The YMC-500 neoHD system comes with a pair of 2-way acoustic suspension front speakers (NS-AP7900MBL) and a 50-watt powered subwoofer (YST-FSW050). The fronts sport two 2.5-inch white paper woofers, one 3/4-inch silk dome tweeter, and are rated for 30 to 100 watts input. They can be set or screwed on stands or wall-mounted using the preset mounting brackets. The sub can be placed horizontally on four padded feet or vertically if space is an issue. This 2.1 "surround" system is boosted by Yamaha's AIR SURROUND EXTREME technology, which simulates 5.1 sound using just two fronts a sub. The option to add a center and surround speakers exists, and with ASE, Yamaha asserts that 5.1 can be boosted to mimic 7.1 surround.
The heart of the unit is the YMC-500 Media Controller – a 10-pound black box with a front volume knob and a top control panel whose buttons function like the corresponding buttons on the remote. The controller has an appealing sloped dual-slope design and sports a neoHD graphic on the top panel. The YMC-500 is equipped with 3 HDMI ins and 1 out, a USB port, dock for iPod or Bluetooth wireless audio receiver, coaxial digital audio in, optical digital audio in, analog audio in, component video in and composite video in.
I've always liked Yamaha's approach to user guides. Along with the standard 58-page owner's manual, detailing the ins-and-outs of the neoHD, a fold-out quick-start guide is included to get visually oriented consumers up and running. System setup, for me, is rarely an enjoyable process, but I actually liked connecting all the pieces to the YMC-500 because Yamaha has made setup akin to a child's game of "match this with that." As I was hooking up the front speakers – each with its own colored set of wires – to the respective terminals, I thought about my mother and how much she typically struggles to just make the proper connections with A/V equipment. This system would be perfect for her or anyone challenged just to make a TV work with a DVD or Blu-ray player, etc. The color-coded, step-by-intuitive-step setup is nearly foolproof.
After connecting a TV, source player, FM antenna and speakers, the next step is attaching the IR flashers to the remote control sensors of the TV and any components connected to the receiver. The flasher heads are covered with wax paper, which you peel off to uncover a sticky layer that binds the heads to the sensors. It's a bit like playing doctor with a heart patient. Power up the system and connected components and follow the directions on the TV screen to calibrate the speakers, integrate the remote control and setup source devices. The YMC-500 breaks each step down to basics. If you have a DVD player in the system, you're asked how the player will be used and then incorporated into one of three main menus: Watch (TV/Movies), Listen (Music/Radio) or Play (Photos/Games). It's that simple. From these respective menus you can watch TV, watch a movie, listen to CDs, search for an FM radio station, access music on a USB device or play games.
Design Successes
1. The setup and remote are incredibly intuitive
2. Graphical User Interface boasts large, easy-to-read icons for selecting sources
3. Better than expected "surround" from a 2.1 system
4. All needed speaker cables and wires are included
5. USB port plays MP3, WMA, MPEG-4, AAC and FLAC audio files
6. Compatible with Deep Color and x.v. Color video signals
7. Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS 96/24 and DTS Digital Surround all supported
8. Analog to HDMI video up-conversion
Design Quirks
1. The USB input is on the back of the unit, which means you have to turn it around every time you want to swap a drive in or out. This port should be on the front for quick access and so you know what drive is in the unit.
2. The YMC-500 is compatible with iPods and Bluetooth devices, but you need to purchase an external dock or adapter to play and/or charge a unit. And you can listen to music only; pictures stored on an iPod are not accessible.
3. Speaker terminals are cheap, plastic spring-clips and accept bare-wire only.
4. No indication of the unit's power?!! If you want to move up from 2.1 to 5.1 surround, your choices are to purchase the matching center and surround speakers from Yamaha, or use speakers with 6 ohms or higher impedance.
For such a spartan system, the YMC-500 delivered surprisingly good surround-like sound. Thin Lizzy's Are You Ready?is a terrific DVD of the band's 1981 performance at the Rockpalast in Loreley, Germany. Phil Lynott's voice and bass were presented with suitable bombast and drummer Brian Downey's kit sounded full and live.
Two-channel music played through the neoHD had good detail – I would describe the sound of the supplied front speakers as bright and tight. The sub really helps to broaden and fill out the audio. With just three speakers in a setup, the neoHD is necessarily limited to the swath of sound it can produce, but like many of the better soundbars it does a convincing job of dispersing audio to the front and sides. In a smaller environment, I believe most listeners would be satisfied with the 2.1 setup.
Conventional A/V receivers come loaded with dozens of sound-enhancing settings to make action films more exciting and to expand two-channel sources into various guises of surround. The YMC-500 sports just a handful of DSP programs – or sound fields – to enhance the A/V experience, but they cover all bases including movie contents, video games and a music enhancer to boost compressed files like MP3s.
Sunday means NFL football, so I set the receiver for entertainment and watched my Green Bay Packers crush the Dallas Cowboys. The roar of a Lambeau Field crowd is like no other, and the Yamaha brought out the energy and sound of a collective 50,000+ strong fanbase during the game's most thrilling moments. I won't say I could hear the faithful slurping beers and belching after too many pre-game bratwursts, but for a simple and engaging football experience the neoHD is the ticket.
Is there a better movie for home theater than Peter Jackson's account of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Two Towers? The incredible opening scene follows Gandalf as he battles the Balrog downward through a chasm that seems to go forever. A torrent of sound and fire ripple throughout as the melee unfolds, heightened by Howard Shore's mesmerizing score. Though this film screams out for 5.1 or more, the neoHD was no slouch at delivering the drama.
Final Thoughts
When I first received the neoHD system for review, I didn't know what to make of it. Was it an A/V receiver? Controller? Player? Ita's all of the above and an excellent solution for those wanting to keep it simple or bring an A/V system into a second room. If I went the neoHD route, I'd opt for the YMC-500's wi-fi capable sibling, the YMC-700, so I could network with music stored on my computer and access Internet radio as well. Others will find the 500 plenty of machine. Although it's not perfect, the YMC-500 does a lot right and is likely the first curl of a bigger wave of like-designed A/V equipment to come. I look forward to Yamaha's next ideas.

State removes docks in advance of storm
Boaters at several major launch sites around the region trying to pull their vessels out of the water in anticipation of Hurricane Sandy were surprised Friday morning when they discovered that the state's floating docks had been removed, making the task much more difficult.
But a spokeswoman for the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, which disassembled the docks without warning, said the agency would be providing personnel Friday and over the weekend to help people haul their vessels.
"They will go in the water to help get boats out," said Eleanor Mariani, director of boating for the DEEP, who works out of the Old Lyme office. "We know boaters want to get boats out this weekend."
Without the help, many people trying to haul their boats would have been forced to brave 60-degree water to maneuver vessels into a position to be towed away.
"Without a dock, it's nearly impossible to get the boat out of the water," said Rob Mahoney of Niantic, who needed to return home to retrieve a wet suit and an extra hand as he tried to remove his 20-foot boat from Mago Point in Waterford.
Floating docks were being pulled locally from Mago Point, Barn Island in Stonington, Bayberry Lane in Groton, at sites on either side of the Thames River in Groton, and New London near the Gold Star Memorial Bridge.
Last year, Mariani said, docks on the Salmon River in East Haddam were battered during Tropical Storm Irene, so the state was trying to avoid a similar occurrence this year.
Docks at 11 sites statewide were being pulled to prevent damage, Mariani said. The DEEP started removing the docks early — the hurricane isn't expected to reach Connecticut until late Monday or early Tuesday — because it takes four days to accomplish the task statewide, she said, and the agency tries not to do work over the weekend to avoid overtime.
The docks, normally removed around Nov. 15, will not return until next spring, Mariani said. Anyone who needs to haul a boat after Sunday may need to bring a friend to help out, she said, because there are no plans for DEEP personnel to be on hand at the dock sites after this weekend.
A permanent dock at the Baldwin Bridge in Old Saybrook was unaffected, she added.
"We believe that this early action will benefit boaters by preventing damage to docks and will avoid lengthy delays to restoring normal boat launch activities next season," DEEP said in a statement.
Mariani said she arranged for DEEP personnel to be on site at Mago Point from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. today and Sunday; at Barn Island from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. today and 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Sunday; and at Bayberry Lane from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. today and noon to 3 p.m. Sunday to help boaters preparing for the storm.
In addition to affecting boaters seeking a safe haven from Hurricane Sandy, the DEEP's removal of state docks also took those on fishing excursions by surprise.
One boater at Mago Point, who didn't want to be named, said he and his wife had to haul their small boat out of the water without help late Friday afternoon. The couple said they never saw a DEEP worker in the area and noticed other people with larger boats struggling to retrieve their vessels.
Mahoney, the Niantic boater, estimated there were 40 to 50 trailers parked at Mago Point Friday morning, presumably representing boaters who had gone out on trips and returned later in the day to find the area where they off-load passengers suddenly missing. Many were headed to a popular fishing spot known as The Race hoping to snag a few blackfish as the season winds down.
"Now there's no place to dock," Mahoney said.
List of state docks being removed early
• Bantam Lake in Morris
• Barn Island in Stonington
• Bayberry Lane in Groton
• Connecticut River in Haddam Meadows
• Connecticut River/Salmon River in East Haddam
• Coventry Lake in Coventry
• Indian Well in Housatonic River
• Lake Zoar in Southbury
• Niantic River (Mago Point) in Waterford
• Thames River in Groton and New London

As many of you know, I have been working on an index to the Vevay newspapers in Switzerland county, Indiana. When I first found out that these newspapers were available online, I started looking in my database and finding death dates of my ancestors and seeing if I could find their obituaries or death notices.
One of the first ones I found was for Carley H Bascom, my fourth great grandfather. He was born 27 Aug 1815 in Vermont. On 22 Dec 1838 he married Elizabeth POTTER in Switzerland county, Indiana. He died 5 May 1889 in East Enterprise, Switzerland county, Indiana. He is buried in the Bovard Cemetery in Switzerland county.
The Vevay Reveille, 09 May 1889
This death notice told me the date of Carley's death (that I knew from his tombstone) and his place of death (which I had figured based on his residence).
After finding a few obits and death notices of my ancestors, I decided that I should start the index to help others find their ancestors and give me a chance to comb through the newspapers to find more mentions of my ancestors.
This week I finally got to the 1889 newspapers. I found the death notice for Carley again. Then I got a surprise. In the following week's newspaper I found under the East Enterprise news section:
The Vevay Reveille, 16 May 1889
Now this is what I wanted to see! Carley's son was H B BASCOM (actually it should be R B, Robert Bruce, probably a typo) and his grandson was E H (Edward H) BASCOM. Carley came with his parents to Indiana in 1816. His father was Gains BASCOM, which I knew from my other research. But I had never found any evidence of his mother's name, Martha.
I thought for sure that Martha was lost and I would never find her name. Had I stopped at the first death notice I never would have found this information about Carley's family. I'm glad that I am talking the time to search the Vevay newspapers for my ancestors because of finds like this!
Now if only I can find the family in Vermont.
