ON ARCHITECTURE- More than a tree: Are planners<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>out on a limb?
Architects can design a campus project, but only God can make a tree. That wasn't the literal message at the Charlottesville Planning Commission's September 13 meeting, but it might as well have been.
Although UVA architect David Neuman's presentation of the $105 million South Lawn project was billed as the headliner, it was the emotional discussion about the loss of an old tree that dominated the meeting. In fact, Neuman made a point of distancing the University from the University Circle brouhaha before the discussion began, saying UVA had "no involvement whatsoever" in developer David Turner's Watson Manor project that has been put on hold after he felled a 150-year-old beech tree.
Neuman was reiterating what UVA vice president Leonard Sandridge had already said in a letter to the commission, that the project– a new home for UVA's Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture– is privately funded.
Late into the evening of the group's first meeting since Neighborhood Development chief Jim Tolbert authorized an August 23 stop-work order on Turner's project, commissioners made it clear how they felt about the developer cutting down the tree that his special use permit, granted by the commission, had explicitly required him to preserve.
In fact, if the commission were a dictatorship, Turner might have found himself hanging from a tree much like the one he cut down on August 17. Fortunately for Turner, due process seems to have saved him from the wrath of the commissioners, at least temporarily.
"This in my mind is a criminal act," said commissioner Craig Barton, "and this developer should not be allowed to build on this property."
According to Turner, the old tree had been impeding the progress of his multi-million dollar project, which involved the renovation of the original 1883 house at 3 University Circle, 8,000 square feet of new construction, and a subterranean parking area. When the tree became an issue, Turner– instead of negotiating with the Planning Commission, something commission chair Karen Firehock said the group had been willing to do– made the decision to Paul Bunyan the old beech. As the developer indicated in a Hook story August 31 ["Timber! Felled tree halts project"], it was a decision he knew would anger the commission.
Turner maintains that he did all he could to save the tree. In fact, as the Planning Commission announced at the meeting, Turner has appealed the stop-work order to the Board of Zoning Appeals which has set a hearing for October. As he pointed out during a site tour several weeks ago, the approved site plan required Turner to build a below-ground parking area behind the building with an entrance from University Circle. The entrance– which was supposed to weave around the tree– had to be cut eight feet into the ground only a few feet from the root ball. In addition, a retaining wall had to be built even closer to the beech.
"Could we have built the wall without taking down the tree?" he said. "The technical answer in a perfect world is, yes, I could have done that. But here is the problem: with half of its support structure gone, the tree was in danger of falling. My superintendent said 'I'm not going to work on this site if you don't cut down that tree.'"
Turner, who was not present at the September 13 meeting, declined additional comment on the issue of the tree while it is being legally contested, but said he would release his response to the BZA when it was complete.
Dan Friedman, a University Circle resident and member of the Venable Neighborhood Association (who was not present at the Planning meeting), now believes Turner took down the tree purposely because he became impatient waiting for a reply from the City to his request for a meeting to discuss the tree. Friedman, who had previously been willing to give Turner the benefit of the doubt, now says his "outrage with Turner has become a prevailing passion.
Friedman says Turner met with the neighborhood association on September 11 to offer a solution.
"What he offered was lame," says Friedman. "He offered to plant a 20-year-old beech tree in the other one's place, emphasizing that it would cost him $4,000. I have a suspicion he intended to take it down all along."
At the conclusion of that meeting, Friedman says, the neighbors voted to recommend to the Planning Commission that Turner's special use permit be revoked.
Planning commissioners needed no convincing. Cheri Lewis called Turner's act a "willful" and egregious" violation of the special use permit. Fellow planner Kevin O'Halloran, who lives in the Venable neighborhood, said that Turner's actions "fly in the face of all we do." And planning chair Karen Firehock accused Turner of "blatantly violating the law. "
"This is about more than a tree," Firehock added. "This is a very emotional issue."
"There is no greater power we wield than the special use permit," Lewis told the Hook in August. "We're already allowing exceptions to the existing code. If we permit this applicant to do this, we'll set a precedent where applicants won't take us seriously."
As Charlottesville faces the inevitability of continued growth, much of it increasingly dense, Lewis and others see any erosion of local government's authority to manage it as a serious threat.
Indeed, after City Attorney Craig Brown counseled commissioners on the legalities involved, he recognized the commission's frustration. "I understand that for the commission this is not just about a tree," he said, "but about a disrespect for the process."
Brown informed the commission that they did have the power to revoke Turner's special use permit, but only in the same way they issue one: they can discuss it, vote on it, and pass it on to City Council. But what about fines, criminal charges, and other restrictions?
"The Planning Commission can suggest anything they want," says Brown, "but it's City Council that makes the final decision, and the zoning administrator [Tolbert] who enforces it."
Brown also clarified how Turner's appeal to the Board of Zoning Appeals will affect the process. Until the BZA rules on the appeal, says Brown, there is nothing the Planning Commission or the City can do but call for a discussion and public hearing at the next meeting in November.
However, should Turner successfully appeal the stop-work order, Brown says, the city's recourse would be to appeal the BZA decision to Circuit Court. Likewise, Turner can take the case to Circuit Court if his appeal to the BZA is unsuccessful. Although the stop-work order will remain in effect during the appeals process, Brown says, the city can enforce no further action against Turner until the process is completed.
Clearly, considering some sort of police action against a developer is uncharted territory for the commission. In fact, Brown said he couldn't think of a similar incident in the 21 years he's been working for the city. Commissioners peppered Brown and Tolbert with questions about the extent of their authority. Commissioner Bill Lucy seemed particularly frustrated with the limits of that authority after Tolbert explained that a revocation of Turner's permit could simply send the project back to square one.
It's worth noting that commissioners believed that the Watson Manor project, with its exceptional design for the renovation of the old boarding house, was a promising addition to University Circle. In fact, Lewis has said that it was one of the best projects they have approved. Still, it appears that's not reason enough to forgive Turner's transgression.
"This is a big step for us," said Lewis, clearly frustrated by the situation. "This was a great project. But we have to act."
In the end, the Planning Commission voted unanimously– indeed, emphatically– to move the discussion to a public hearing in November, pending the decision of the BZA on Turner's appeal.
"I'll even come back in November for this," quipped Barton, who, along with Firehock and O'Halloran, will be leaving the Commission before the November showdown.
"This in my mind is a criminal act," said Planning Commissioner Craig Barton, discussing developer David Turner's removal of a 150-year old beech tree on University Circle during the commission's September 13 meeting, "and this developer should not be allowed to build on this property."

Best Practices
This smoothie is for the pineapple lover in all of us.
A double blast of pineapple chunks and pineapple juice, tempered with the sweetness of vanilla yogurt and a whole orange, make for a refreshingly delightful smoothie.
Place all ingredients and 2 cups ice in a blender.
Blend until smooth, 3-5 minutes.
Make sure your kids have plenty of books. Take your kids to the library or the bookstore to pick out some interesting new books. Go to yard sales, and sort through the books there. Organize a book swap in your neighborhood. Do whatever you need to do to keep a fresh supply of books around.
Always pack up books, magazines or newspapers whenever you go somewhere, for your kids and for yourself. Make sure your kids see you reading, whether it's on the beach, while waiting for the softball game to start, or at home.
Try to keep some time available for reading. This is perhaps the hardest thing, as schedules fill up with sports, cookouts, trips and movies. These are all fun, too. But there's no substitute for the occasional afternoon spent under a tree exploring far-off worlds through books.
Encourage social reading. If your child wants to read a book because other kids are reading it, by all means get a copy. This reinforces the idea that reading is cool, and gives your child a chance to talk about the book with others. Take the kids to see a movie based on a book, and also read the book. Do whatever you can to make reading cool and social.

Here's a take-home lesson for everyone: Don't ever get in a road-rage confrontation with Toby Keith.
During an interview with the morning show team at Chicago's US99.5, on the day of the release of his brand-new studio album Hope on the Rocks, the "big dog" explained an encounter he had "about six months ago" with an enraged motorist on an Oklahoma highway.
Toby didn't explain exactly what caused the encounter, but he did say–in his deep, burly, matter-of-fact voice–that he "fixed it" real quick.
That's because, as Toby explained, "In Oklahoma you can carry a concealed weapon" with a permit. And so that other motorist "decided real quick that road rage wasn't for him. He pulled it over and decided that maybe I had something more than a middle finger."
And it wasn't a red Solo cup, either–though that topic also came up during the call. Turns out that Toby was "working with" the Solo Cup Company last year on some unspecified ideas, in the wake of his success with the song "Red Solo Cup." But then, he said, "they sold to Dart [Container Corporation], and we haven't heard anything back."
"People go, 'You ought to get a piece of that,'" he says. "Here's the problem. They probably don't sell any more cups than they used to, but they probably have all the other colors on backstock, and they're backordered on red." So the success of the song "probably threw them a curve ball."
Good point. "Yellow Solo Cup" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Toby Keith's new album, Hope on the Rocks, is in stores now. "I Like Girls That Drink Beer" is currently on the charts, though he's already got the next single lined up. It's the album's title cut, a song that Toby described as "my favorite song I think I've ever written."
Hear the whole Toby Keith interview on Chicago's US99.5.

While folding some clothes yesterday morning I had the thought...Brit is awfully quiet. Just after my thought, I heard Craig say, "Cricket, come here right now". I had no idea where Brit was, but headed into Craig's office to talk to Craig. As I walked down the hallway, I smelled something, but didn't think much of it. I got to the doorway of Craig's office and found Brit, covered in baby powder, but not just him, the whole corner of the room. Funny thing about this is Craig was in the same room and didn't notice it. He was one happy kid! Thinking he was pretty funny. All Craig and I could do was laugh.
Check it out!
Brit with powdered striped hair.
Part of the mess...look how proud he looks.
Here he is thinking this is great fun!
Here he is thinking this is great fun!
After I took a few photos, I grabbed the vacuum and with Brits help got it all cleaned up. We even vacuumed his clothes, which is wasn't too fond of. Oh well!
At least it wasn't Vaseline ... Caleb did that when he was close to Brit's age. That was horrible!

The idea of this section is not to "pick stocks" but rather educate on how to pick Stocks with appropriate risk management, so that we can benefit from gains as well as cut short our losses.
Review of two candidates in our watch list...
Items you should focus on:
- Always check NOTES section for each stock along with STOP Limit - updated every week as per individual stock action
- Find out earnings date for stocks you have in your portfolio, so that you are aware of major events - this is not included in the watch list but links are provided for your own findings/research
- Understand current market direction and decide if you want to remain invested based on market scenario
Things to remember:
- No matter how great the company is and how stellar the earnings are, if market is in correction then the stock performance will be affected
- All boats rise in a rising tide, in short if market moves up then most stocks will also move up and vice-verse. If market is doing well then selectively chosen stocks has higher probability to provide good returns in short duration
- If a stock position does not work in your favor then get out, cutting losses is not easy but necessary, ONLY a disciplined investor/trader will be successful in long term
Be disciplined and manage risk appropriately...

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act shields Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million from some, but not all claims brought over promotion and sale of scandalous book about presidential candidate. Parisi v. Sinclair, – F.Supp.2d -, 2011 WL 1206193 (D.D.C. March 31, 2011) In 2008, Larry Sinclair made the ultra-scandalous claim that he had done drugs and engaged in sexual activity with then-presidential candidate Barack Obama. Daniel Parisi, owner of the infamous Whitehouse.com website, challenged Sinclair to take a polygraph test. Not satisfied with the attention his outlandish claims had garnered, Sinclair self-published a book detailing his alleged misadventures. The book was available through print-on-demand provider Lightening Source. Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Books-A-Million ("BAM") each offered Sinclair's book for sale through their respective websites. (Barnes & Noble and BAM did not sell the book at their brick and mortar stores.) Each company's website promoted the book using the following sentence: You'll read how the Obama campaign used internet porn king Dan Parisi and Ph.D. fraud Edward I. Gelb to conduct a rigged polygraph exam in an attempt to make the Sinclair story go away. Parisi and his Whitehouse Network sued for, among other things, defamation and false light invasion of privacy. BAM moved to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) while Amazon and Barnes & Noble moved for summary judgment. The court granted the booksellers' motions. Section 230 applied because booksellers were not information content providers The booksellers' primary argument was that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act shielded them from liability for plaintiffs' claims concerning the promotional sentence. The court found in defendants' favor on this point. Section 230 provides in relevant part that "[n]o provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider." The major issue in this case was whether the online booksellers had provided the information comprising the promotional sentence. The court found that the pleadings (as to BAM) and the evidence (as to Amazon and Barnes & Noble) did not credibly dispute that the booksellers did not create and develop the promotional sentence. But not so fast, Section 230, on some of those other claims! The court's treatment of Section 230 in relation to plaintiffs' false light claim and the claims relating to the actual sale of the book were even more intriguing. Plaintiffs argued that their false light claim was essentially a right of publicity claim. And Section 230(e)(2) says that immunity does not apply to claims pertaining to intellectual property. There is some confusion as to whether this exception to immunity applies only to federal intellectual property claims or to both federal and state IP claims. On one hand, Perfect 10, Inc. v. CCBill says that only federal intellectual property claims are excepted from immunity (which would mean that state law IP claims would be barred by Section 230). On the other hand, cases like Atlantic Recording Corp. v. Project Playlist, Doe v. Friendfinder Network and Universal Communication System v. Lycos suggest that both state and federal IP claims should withstand a Section 230 challenge. In this case, the court indicated that it would have sided with the cases that provide for both federal and state claims making it past Section 230: "I am not inclined to extend the scope of the CDA immunity as far as the Ninth Circuit. . . . " But ultimately the court did not need to take sides as to the scope of Section 230(e)(2), as it found the use of plaintiff Parisi's name fit into the newsworthiness privilege. One cannot successfully assert a misappropriation claim when his name or likeness is used in a newsworthy publication unless the use has "no real relationship" to the subject matter of the publication. The court also seemed to constrain Section 230 immunity as it related to the online booksellers' liability for selling the actual book. (Remember, the discussion above, in which the court found immunity to apply, dealt with the promotional sentence.) The court rejected defendants' arguments that the reasoning of Gentry v. eBay should protect them. In Gentry, eBay was afforded immunity from violation of a warranty statute. But it merely provided the forum for the sale of goods, unlike the online booksellers in this case, which were the distributors of the actual allegedly defamatory book. Even though Section 230 did not serve to protect BAM, Barnes & Noble and Amazon from liability for defamation arising from sales of the book, the court dismissed the defamation claim because of the lack of a showing that the booksellers acted with actual malice. It was undisputed that the plaintiffs were limited-purpose public figures. Persons with that status must show that the defendant acted with actual malice. That standard was not met here.

www.english-test.net might be worth checking out- they deal with TOEIC.
I want to start planning a sofware application fro helping learners prepare for the TOEIC exam.
I am just starting to think about how to approach it, and I'd like to hear from teachers and learners about what features and methods would be useful.
I'd also like to hear about any text books or software for TOEIC or similar exams that you found expecially good.
Thanks for the link. :)
It's great!! Thank you, Tdol!! :DOriginally Posted by tdol
Thank you, that was very useful. If anyone else has any good ideas, please post them.
I'm thinking along the lines of an application that can download new material as it comes available and charts the learner's progress.
I'll ask in the students' section as well.
It's a great site- nice people running it, too.Originally Posted by ion Joe
Would this be downloading materials as you created them? So,they'd have the software on their machine and it would check for updates, likes an anti-virus program and record results, etc? If so, it sounds very interesting.Originally Posted by A.Russell
Yes, that way I can keep adding tests or other teachers could make them and share them with everyone.
Are you doing the programming?
Yes. Do you want to do it for me? :D
Here's a game I'm finishing up at the moment:
I thought I'd better make something more directly to do with English teaching, since that's what pays the bills/overseas holidays/ cars/other toys :)
Not much response here, but I know there are a lot of good teachers here, so if anyone can tell me what they are using for teaching TOEIC/ TOEFL I'd be really happy.

Review: Hooker's House Bourbon and Rye (2013)
Color me a bit of a skeptic. Hooker's House label declares these whiskeys as "Sonoma Style," as in the California wine country. Where they do not make whiskey. Right? Heck, HelloCello (aka Prohibition Spirits) — best known for its artisanal lemoncello (and other flavors) — makes this whiskey. What on earth do these guys know about Bourbon? How good could it possibly be?
Plenty. And pretty good, it turns out.
Named after a Civil War veteran, Joseph Hooker, who lived in Sonoma, these whiskeys are not actually distilled in California (the company cites only "Bourbon-belt" production; I'm presuming they are born at LDI like pretty much everything else on the market). But Hooker's House Bourbon and Rye, like many of my favorite craft whiskeys, are decidedly non-traditional spirits: Both are finished in (different) wine barrels that have been retired from local wineries.
That, I guess, it was "Sonoma Style" is all about. And you can count me a full-on convert.
Thoughts on both of these whiskeys follow.
Hooker's House Bourbon – This is six-year-old, single-barrel Bourbon that is finished in Pinot Noir barrels and brought down to 100 proof with Sonoma spring water. The mashbill is a hefty 46% rye. Lots of wood on the nose doesn't let on to too many secrets, but breathe deep and you get those rich, winey flavors — a few raisins and big cherry notes. Take a sip and it all comes together. Fantastic, thick body. Beautiful fruit, that cherry character really gets pumped up as you drink it. Combining with the deep vanilla from the Bourbon, the Pinot finish gives this whiskey the character of a Cherry Coke, complete with cinnamon and nutmeg notes on the finish. Perfectly drinkable neat even at 100 proof, this is an amazing Bourbon with a unique and lively character that I highly recommend. Excellent bargain. A / $36
Hooker's House Rye (2013) – Made from a mashbill of 95% rye, Hooker's House Rye doesn't indicate its age, but is likely quite a bit younger than the Bourbon. (Bulleit's 95% rye is about 5 years old.) For a twist, the Rye is finished not in Pinot barrels but in Old Vine Zinfandel barrels — two spicy treats that should go well together. They do, but not perhaps to the degree of mastery that the Bourbon offers. The nose is curious, giving up anise and fresh, toasty wood notes. The body's a different animal: Surprisingly light and fresh, there is a clear grain character along with some evergreen notes. The whiskey is more in line with many of the modern ryes that have come out lately — surprisingly mild, easygoing, and backed up with a touch of baking spice. The wine influence is harder to spot here than with the Bourbon; there's just a hint of raisin character on the finish. It's a solid rye, but ultimately this whiskey is driven more by raw grain flavors — which come on really strong at the conclusion — than I'd like. 94 proof. B / $36

Saints went 4-12 to finish fourth in the NFC West while ending up 25th in the league in total yards (4705) but seventh in rushing (2286).
After showing an impressive durability as the primary offensive weapon for the Saints as a rookie, Rogers dealt with nagging injuries during the strike-shortened 1982 season, but was still chosen for a second-straight Pro Bowl. Knee problems kept him out of three games in '83 as he rushed for 1144 yards, often in tandem with RB Wayne Wilson. Splitting time with aging star RB Earl Campbell in 1984,
Rogers rushed for 914 yards and was traded to in the
offseason. Once again he was sharing time with a fading great player, RB John
Riggins, and while he started just five games, he rushed for 1093 yards with a
career-high 4.7 average gain per carry. Washington
took over the starting role in '86 and gained 1203 yards while scoring a
NFL-leading 18 touchdowns. But following another injury-marred year in 1987, Rogers retired. In all,
he played seven seasons and ran the ball 1692 times for 7176 yards (4.2 avg.).
Never much of a receiver out of the backfield, Rogers added 368 more yards on 55 catches.
All 54 of his touchdowns came on the ground. Rogers

Call it a real-life "Born" identity – for a fourth time.
Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana, have welcomed their fourth child, a rep for the actor confirmed to Access Hollywood.
U.S. & World
The baby girl, Stella Zavala Damon, was born on Wednesday in New York.
"Mom and baby are both healthy. The whole family is thrilled," Matt's rep told People.

Matt, 40, and Luciana, 35, — who tied the knot in 2005 — announced they were expecting back in April.
Stella joins sisters Isabella, 4, and Gia, 2, both of whom the couple had together. Luciana also has an 11-year-old daughter, Alexia, from a previous marriage.
Back in April, Matt told Parade magazine that fatherhood has helped him avoid some of Hollywood's pitfalls.

"It's pretty easy to kind of lose your way. I think working consistently with great people is really helpful. Also having kids is really helpful. They kind of disabuse you of the notion of your greatness pretty quickly," he told the mag at the time. "There's a routine that you get into with kids that precludes you from going back to your single days. I'm probably more boring than I used to be. I go to bed earlier and I get up earlier."
Matt currently stars in the supernatural drama "Hereafter," which opened on Friday with a .1 million box office take.

Stately James Brolin might be the last guy you'd expect to see behind a youth-oriented musical. But the long-time producer and actor insisted in staying behind-the-scenes in the musical about friends competing in a national tween music video competition.
"This is definitely a departure for me," he tells PopcornBiz of "Standing Ovation" opening July 16. "This was designed directly for the tweens. We insisted on thinking like kids the whole time."
Brolin, who executive produced the film, is trying to tap directly into the audience which made "High School Musical" a box office success. And part of that also means keeping himself off the screen.
While he's taken on most every role in his colorful Hollywood career, the man married to Barbra Streisand admits he's not much of a song and dance man.
In his early days, he admits to unwisely being convinced to record an album.
"After being asked, I panicked for two months, gathered myself up and did an album," he says. "It definitely was not enough time."
The album resurfaces on eBay every now and again. "It's called 'James Brolin Sings' and it's just awful," he says. "But then again one country tune made it to number seven in Portland. So I was proud of that."
And despite shooting a movie about dance, he doesn't care too much for it.
"I've never been a good dancer, " he says. "But I was never concerned with anything other than how well this movie served youth."

- For a new LNG plant in Russia Linde is building a storage tank at record speed.
- The cold Russian winter and the short construction period pose tough challenges.
- To fulfil the task within time Linde combines sophisticated construction technologies of specialised companies with the use of new building standards.
On a small peninsula in Russia's northwest edge, building workers, engineers and welders are chasing records. As part of a new LNG plant, Linde's Engineering Division is building the related full-containment LNG storage tank in record speed: Thanks to fast-track engineering and procurement, sophisticated construction technologies an optimised time schedule is achieved. The 42,000-cubic-metre tank is scheduled to be realised within only 22 months – despite the challenging Russian winter.
Just two hours from metropolitan Saint Petersburg, heading northwest along route E18 towards the Finnish border, one of the last exits leads to a site of birch woodlands tinged with salty sea air. This is the site of Portovaya, where a complex for liquefied natural gas (LNG) production, storage and shipment is being erected. The plant will have a yearly capacity of around 1.5 million tonnes of LNG, classifying it as mid-scale.
The Portovaya plant will use Linde's LIMUM® technology, a multi-stage mixed refrigerant process achieving best-in-class energy efficiency, applying its proprietary coil-wound heat exchangers. Linde is performing basic and detail engineering for the process plant while also supplying the equipment and related bulk material.
Raising the walls within 15 days
One key element of the new LNG plant will be the storage tank, with its design based on European standards, in particular new EN 14620. Another of the project's key elements is execution speed: In the search for an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor, one of the plant owner's priorities was to build the tank within the shortest possible time. This required the use of special construction technologies. The outer tank, for example, which is 60 centimetres thick, was erected by sliding of the concrete wall. The construction formwork climbed continuously higher, thus heightening the wall by two metres per day. Thanks to this engineering artistry, the concrete outer tank was mounted within only 15 days.
Still another remarkable element about the construction of this LNG tank is the technology used to build the roof. The roof itself was assembled inside of the concrete walls. Instead of using a crane, the 216-tonne structure was lifted by air pressure. The roof hovered at a speed of 16 centimetres per minute. Within only 2 hours and 14 minutes, the roof reached its final position. This unique roof air raising technique has advantages of lowering the costs, shorting the schedule, and reducing hazards from avoiding working at height. This successful air raising operation took place only 11 months after construction started and indeed marks a milestone in the successful execution of the project.
Storage tanks at the Hammerfest LNG plant in Norway.
The construction site that never sleeps
To make use of these sophisticated construction technologies, specialised partners are needed. Construction was conducted by Renaissance Heavy Industries. For Engineering and Procurement, Linde teamed up with SPG Steiner as a subcontractor. Country-specific adaption of the design also required the involvement of Russian design institutes.
The collaboration of multiple companies and teams also requires ideally aligned timetables. Project management and close contact with all subcontractors are enormously important to meet such an ambitious deadline. Temporarily, 200 people were working at the construction site, partly during nightshifts.
Winter is coming
With a dome height of 37.2 metres, the storage tank is the highest building in the complex, surmounting the trees to offer a magnificent view at the Gulf of Finland, the easternmost arm of the Baltic. When the roof was lifted in February 2018, the Gulf was frozen and covered by a thick layer of snow.
Since the area's winter temperatures can drop down to minus 38 degrees Celsius, 'winterisation' of construction plans is required, which includes the use of tents and radiators. Filling the tank for hydrotesting during the upcoming winter period will be one further challenge.
Assembling onion walls layer by layer
Before engineers start to flood the tank, several wall layers must be completed. Starting with the outermost layer, the concrete shell, the storage tank consists of six different layers with a decreasing radius – similar to an onion.
Within the concrete wall, the outer tank liner is made of carbon steel. The third layer does not cover the whole height of the tank but only the lowest segment. This foam glass element is called thermal corner protection. A double layer of perlite and mineral wool thermally insulates the liquefied natural gas, which has a temperature of minus 163 degrees Celsius.
Full containment tank with a capacity of 25.000 m³ (Nynäsham,LNG)
Curved inner tank design
By the end of 2018, the inner tank will be welded to completion. This assembly process can be compared to putting together a massive 3D puzzle. In total, the inner tank shell consists of 400 plates of different sizes. To be transported to the construction site, the plates must fit inside of an ordinary truck and in the construction openings of the tank. This task, alone, is quite a challenge – for example, one of the biggest plates is 12 metres wide and 2.4 metres high.
Due to the cylindric form of the tank, the plates are curved. As the height increases, they become thinner. The plates themselves are made of a special steel alloy that contains nine percent nickel. This percentage is necessary due to the extremely low temperatures of minus 163 degrees Celsius that LNG is kept at.
Linde Engineering is optimistic that it will hand over the LNG storage tank in time. To achieve this, the project's ambitious technological and logistical processes have engaged like meshing gears. Thanks to sophisticated construction technologies and optimised time tables, the time needed to complete similar projects could be shortened significantly. With this great success, the bar is raised for future projects – no matter the schedule or wintery skies.

What a whirlwind the last week has been! Phew! I am glad it is over. I will be even happier when we are back to our normal routine and some of this craziness is gone. Yes, it was wonderful to see our family and spend time with them, but everything seems so chaotic. It will be nice to return to the somewhat predictable schedules that we keep. During the last week we had so many fabulous meals & treats. It all seemed so smooth, too. The meals were all prepared gluten-free or mostly gluten-free to avoid cross contamination. Neither Jon or I got sick, so that is a plus. 😉 We also enjoyed lunch out one day at Red Robin. We had a hard time with the service, mostly just being slow and not following through, but Jon and I felt great after eating there. It was really busy, so that may have been part of the issue.
So, this week is still not back to normal, but we don't have any real big plans. I doubt that I will even make it until midnight on New Year's Eve. 😉 I am getting old, you know.
Sunday ~ Burgers with sauteed mushrooms & pepperjack cheese, sweet potato fries, steamed broccoli and salad
Monday ~ Homemade Cheese Pizza (I may add spinach to mine and pepperoni to the kids) and salad
Tuesday ~ Salmon with garlic dill seasoning, quinoa, roasted brussel sprouts & salad
Wednesday ~ Turkey Tacos or Turkey Taco Salads, mexican rice & refried beans
Thursday ~ Pork & sauerkraut, mashed poatoes & veggies
Friday ~ Leftover medley/Breakfast for dinner
Saturday ~ Spaghetti & meat sauce, steamed veggies, foccacia bread (Chebe Mix) & salad
Baked Goods for the Week
I think I am taking a break on the baked goods this week. We have tons of fudge, cookies & cake leftover and I am thinking that my husband will kill me if I make anything else. 😉
I will probably have to make bread, though.
Oooh….I almost forgot. My sister got me the most amazing cookbook for Christmas. She got me Carol Fenster's new cookbook, 1000 Gluten-Free Recipes. WOW!! This cookbook is amazing! Not only are there tons of baked goods, but the meals…..I am in heaven!
Another wonderful cooking gift….hubby got me a huge griddle for cooking pancakes, bacon & such. This thing is so big that I can cook a pound of bacon on it at one time! OMG! It is amazing! So much easier than standing over a pan going through rounds of 6 or 7 strips at a time.
Don't foget to pop over to Cooking & UNcooking, M-Elle is hosting this week's GF menu swap. And, as always, Orgjunkie has tons of menu plans up.
Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday. 🙂

Titan is the just released development platform for Sprint devices running Windows Mobile. Support for the Eclipse embedded Rich Client (eRCP) application model and IBM Lotus Expeditor includes APIs for access to Sprint-specific phone features. We recently chatted with Mark Rogalski, IBM's lead software architect on the Sprint Titan project.
DDJ: Mark, what it "Sprint Titan"?
MR: Titan is Sprint's new mobile application platform.
DDJ: What kind of applications can we expect to see?
MR: Sprint is initially targeting business applications -- workforce automation solutions.
DDJ: Can you tell us about the development environment?
MR: For both Sprint Titan and IBM's Lotus Expeditor, Java-based application development is done using the Eclipse IDE with Java Development Tools (JDT) and/or Web Tools Platform (WTP) installed. The Titan and Expeditor toolkits both contain target platforms that reflect the function available in the device runtime. The Eclipse tooling lets developers utilize their current desktop development knowledge and skills to develop for devices. In addition, existing Eclipse projects and code may be easily adapted for execution in mobile applications.
DDJ: Where do Web 2.0 and mashups come into play?
MR: There are several aspects to this answer. Primarily, the OMRi service framework employed by Titan and Expeditor allows applications to share services, code, and easily communicate with each other. The Eclipse extension point framework provides a mechanism by which applications can advertise ways that they can be extended and lets other applications provide those extensions. This enables a truly collaborative mash-up environment. Finally, the GUI Browser widget which can be variously used in applications allows web content to be integrated in ways previously unavailable on mobile phones. For instance, interactive map images from the web could be integrated into a phone's contact list.
DDJ: Is there a web site that readers can go to for more information?
MR: Sure. More information and a free evaluation copy of the software is available at the Sprint Titan page.

Christina Aguilera Speaks Out Again on Britney Spears as an 'X Factor' Judge
Brace yourselves, the pop music world is about to explode because Christina Aguilera, the voice of our generation and a judge on 'The Voice,' continues to have something nice to say about newest 'X Factor' judge Britney Spears.
"I came up with Britney [on] 'The Mickey Mouse Club' [and] we were very close. Our paths have always crossed and they will continue to cross," Aguilera said to Parade. "I welcome her to this family of fun and entertainment and finding talent as well." She also made sure to mention that Spears is a "pro" and that she'll "give great advice" to 'X Factor' contestants.
Since the two singers first appeared in the public eye in the '90s as young, fresh-faced hopefuls trying to make it in the music industry outside their failed 'Mickey Mouse Club' reboot, Aguilera and Spears have been compared to each other, with claims of a strong rivalry between the two. But alas, Aguilera has put an end to the rumors.
"I'm not down with [pitting women against women] at this point of my life," she said. "I have no patience for it so I'm like 'the more the merrier.' It's a fun thing to be a part of and I think she'll have fun with it."
Xtina previously told Extra the same thing (about being a "pro"), adding: "Britney is so talented."
We. Die. … for those nice words.

Pierzynski homers as Rangers beat Mariners 8-3
Send a link to a friend
[August 27, 2013]
(AP) -- A.J. Pierzynski hit a three-run homer, Mitch Moreland had a solo shot and the Texas Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners 8-3 on Monday night.
Alex Rios had two hits and two RBIs as the Rangers picked up their fifth win in seven games. Elvis Andrus celebrated his 25th birthday with three hits and an RBI.
Kyle Seager hit his 20th home run of the season for the Mariners, who have lost four in a row.
Travis Blackley (2-1) earned his first win since being acquired in a trade with Houston on Aug. 14. Blackley, making his second start of the season, allowed three runs and five hits over six innings in his longest outing since Oct. 2, 2012.
It was a much different night for Seattle starter Joe Saunders (10-13), who turned in another sluggish outing. The left-hander allowed seven runs and nine hits in seven inning to fall to 1-5 with a 7.71 ERA in his last seven starts.
The Rangers led 4-3 before Pierzynski hit a drive to right after Adrian Beltre was intentionally walked with two out and a runner on second in the seventh. It was Pierzynski's 15th homer in his first season with AL West-leading Texas.
[to top of second column]
Moreland added his 19th homer in the eighth, giving the Rangers an 8-3 lead.
Neal Cotts, Joakim Soria and Tanner Scheppers each pitched a hitless inning after Blackley left.
Saunders got off to a slow start, and the Rangers took advantage. Saunders hit Craig Gentry leading off the game and Andrus followed with a single. The runners moved up on Ian Kinsler's sacrifice before Beltre walked to load the bases.
After Pierzynski bounced into a fielder's choice, Rios singled to center to lift Texas to a 2-0 lead.
The Mariners rallied in the third on Brad Miller's tying two-run single. Seager hit a drive to right with one out in the fourth, but that was all for Seattle.
NOTES: Before the game, the Mariners activated OF Franklin Gutierrez from the disabled list and designated RHP Aaron Harang for assignment. . Rangers OF Leonys Martin (sprained right ankle) was out of the lineup for the second straight game.

The Collegiate boys' basketball team is set to make its second straight appearance in the Touchstone Energy All "A†Classic state tournament after downing archrival Kentucky Country Day 81-73 in the Seventh Region championship on Jan. 12.
Senior Andrew Steggeman has been a driving force for the Titans (11-6), averaging 16.2 points per game on 47 percent shooting along with 5.6 assists and four steals. Against KCD, the 5-foot-11 point guard exploded for a season-high 29 points, including 9 of 12 fourth quarter free throws that preserved the win.
"He's probably the strongest guard in the city, physically, and he uses that to his advantage,†said second-year Collegiate coach Joel Morris.
Earlier this season, Steggeman notched a school-record 12 assists against Spencer County in a Pikeville Invitational semifinal, then lit up Betsy Layne for 26 points, five assists and five steals in the championship game to earn tournament MVP honors.
"He sees the floor really well and rewards guys for running the floor,†said Morris. "He's a floor general first and foremost. The scoring and other stuff is a bonus.â€
Steggeman, who carries a 3.9 unweighted grade-point average, was also a standout forward on the soccer pitch, where he tallied 11 goals and two assists as a junior before injuries sidelined him most of his senior season.
The Salem, Ind., native recently discussed his career and the prospect of an All "A†title.
CHRIS CAHILL: Last year Collegiate advanced to the All "A†semifinals before falling to Covington Holy Cross. How do you like your chances this time around?
ANDREW STEGGEMAN: Last year I felt like a lot of people thought we were a no-name team, but this year we've actually got a lot of experience and confidence. We feel like we definitely belong in the tournament.
CAHILL: How did you get into basketball and who was your inspiration?
STEGGEMAN: By age 3, I was watching my older brother (Matthew) play basketball and I always wanted to be just like him so I knew I was going to play when I was really young. Salem High School put on a little lions (program) for younger kids to play basketball and have a couple games and practices. My dad (Jim) always signed me up for that and I fell in love with it.
CAHILL: What do you see as your role on the court?
STEGGEMAN: My job is just to win basketball games for us. If that means scoring because some of our other scorers are injured or on the bench, then I'll go score. If that means drawing attention and passing the ball to get open looks, then I'll pass the ball. If I need to rebound because some of our big men are out, then I'll rebound. I'll just do whatever it takes to win.
CAHILL: After attending Collegiate your freshman year, you transferred to Salem High for a year, then returned to Collegiate as a junior. How does the high school basketball atmosphere in Southern Indiana compare to that in Louisville?
STEGGEMAN: (Laughs) There's absolutely no comparison. I apologize to all Kentucky high school basketball fans, but Southern Indiana basketball is one of the greatest things ever. Southern Indiana towns are more community-based and there are not as many social things to do on the weekends so one of the big things to do is go to basketball games.
Salem has 650 students and yet their gym holds like 3,500. You'll have a consistent 2,000 fans, no matter how good your team is.
CAHILL: Who is the best player you've faced this season?
STEGGEMAN: We just played Pulaski County and (Taylor) Gover. We tried to shut him down, we tried to man the ball, but he just took the game over. I have a lot of respect for him.
CAHILL: What are your favorite classes this semester?
STEGGEMAN: I take two AP English classes and those are probably my favorites because you get to write and express your opinion. I think analyzing literature is one of the best ways to learn and create your moral beliefs. I take AP Physics and that class is ridiculously hard, but it's a small class and I always have fun.
CAHILL: Where are you in your college search and do you know what you'd like to study?
STEGGEMAN: Some of the schools (I'm considering) are Covenant College, Washington and Lee, Denison, Rhodes, Hanover and Transylvania. Wherever I go, I'll play basketball.
Right now, as a naïve 17-year-old, I think I want to go into sales and advertising. That (field) involves socializing, people skills and also negotiating. I just think it's a perfect job for my strengths and interests.
Collegiate will take on the winner from the 10th Region at 1 p.m. Thursday in the opening round of the All "A†state tournament at the Frankfort Convention Center. The final is set for 2:30 p.m. Sunday.
The smallest 130 high schools in Kentucky, based on enrollment, are eligible to compete in All "A†championships.

Only American Unguator suppliers look to expand their operationPublished: Friday, October 2, 2009 7:00 am
NORMAN - A piece of German technology sold by a Norman pharmaceutical company has sparked the need for expansion into the city's business park.
Health Engineering Systems, founded by pharmacists Rob and Lisa Standridge, sells the Unguator, a modern-day equivalent of the mortar and pestle used by pharmacists over the centuries. Unguator, in German, means "to mix ointments," Rob Standridge said, and it simplifies the compounding process for busy pharmacists.
"It's like a malt machine - it mixes around and around and up and down, and you have to buy the patented jars to go with it," he said. "Pharmacists are very busy, and they have to take time away from other work to mix something. Our machine automates the process."
The Unguator is specifically designed for compounding lotions, creams and ointments, Standridge said. The machine comes in three sizes, but 80 percent of his clients use the middle-range Unguator, which costs about $2,500, he said. The large machine, which can hold up to 1,000 milliliters, runs $3,500, he said.
Standridge has sold about 5,000 of the Unguators to independent pharmacies, and he's broken into the chain world by selling to 800 Walgreen pharmacies, he said.
The primary use for the Unguator is hormone replacement creams and lotions, Standridge said. Pharmacists also compound creams or gels for hospice use, when patients often can't swallow a pill. The veterinary world also performs a lot of compounding to create dosages for animals of all sizes, he said.
The Unguator simplifies the compounding process for pharmacists because the machine carries out the bulk of the work, Standridge said. It has two motors - one on bottom moving the jar up and down and one on top spinning a mixing blade around.
"The blade touches the outer wall, so you don't lose anything," he said. "It touches the whole mix."
But the biggest benefit is the time it saves, Standridge said.
"The big problem has been that pharmacists would get started mixing something, then they would get called away," he said. "With our machine, the mixing takes a similar amount of time - about 10 to 20 minutes - but once you combine the ingredients and push a few buttons, you can go off and do other tasks. Smaller pharmacies especially would procrastinate doing big compounds because they would constantly get called away. Pharmacists are just too busy these days to process things manually."
The Unguator mixes prescriptions in the jar that is given to the patient; it only requires a label once it's done, Standridge said.
Jerrod Roberts, owner of Flourish Integrative Pharmacies in Oklahoma City, said he uses two Unguators in his compounding lab. He said the machines save him time and provide consistency.
"We send things off for quality control testing, and they always come back great," Roberts said. "We feel confident that it's being mixed consistently."
The design of the Unguator also leads to less contamination of the prescription at a patient's home, Standridge said. He conducted tests showing that when patients repeatedly dip their hands into a bottle to get the cream or ointment, the chance is higher for fungal growth. However, because the bottom of the Unguator bottle pushes up to the top - like a push-up Popsicle - there's no need for patients to dip in their hands.
Rob and Lisa Standridge started Health Engineering Systems in 2007 when they acquired the licensing for the Unguator technology, which he estimates is in 17,000 of Germany's 20,000 pharmacies. The couple are the only suppliers of Unguator products in North and South America, and he said they hope to one day manufacture them here.
They are building a 17,000-square-foot, $2.5 million facility to house their growing company in the Norman Business Park.
The expansion will house their other pharmaceutical ventures - a software and Web development company, RS Software, and LegendCare Pharmacy, which specializes in prescriptions for assisted-living centers, nursing homes and other institutional care.

Binomial and Poisson Counts with Vari...
Mplus Discussion
Categorical Data Modeling

posted on Wednesday, June 09, 2004 - 5:14 pm
Is it possible to model rates in Mplus when each observation has a numerator and denominator (e.g., either a binomial rate or a Poisson rate)? For example, if observations are at the hospital-level, hospital k would have d(k) deaths arising from n(k) surgeries. For Poisson (count) data it is usual to specify log(n(k)) as an independent variable with its coefficient fixed at 1 (offset term).

We don't explicitly model rates in Mplus, but we do allow the regression of one count variable on another count variable. Can you send the reference for your last sentence?
Bob H
posted on Thursday, June 10, 2004 - 4:11 pm
I don't have a reference handy, but the idea is straightforward. A Poisson regression is usually written as a (generalized) log-linear model. For example if Y is a Poisson count:
log(Y) = a + bx
If you want to model the rate, say the count per month, and you observe a count of Y in M months, then you could model the count per month:
log(Y/M) = a + bx
which can be rewritten:
log(Y) = a + bx + log(M)
The term log(M) is called an offset because its coefficient is forced to have a value of 1.0 (it is not estimated). Can this model be fit in Mplus? Is there a way to constrain a regression coefficient to have a constant value in Mplus?

This looks doable in Mplus V3. You would declare Y as a count variable (either Poisson or zero-inflated Poisson) in the Variable command and then in the model command you specify the regression
y on x
so that you estimate the intercept and the slope for x, while the slope for the new variable logM (created in the Define command) has its slope fixed at 1.

Terrific! Thanks. So we can model Poisson rates. I think we can also model binomial rates.
For the binomial each observation has k(i) out of n(i) trials. I want to use logistic regression to model the success rate p(i), which might depend on some covariates x(i), so we are assuming k(i) is distributed as binomial[n(i),p(i)]. I can replace each original observation with two observations: one observation with Y=1 and a frequency weight = k(i), and a second observation with Y=0 and frequency weight = n(i)-k(i). I would also duplicate the x-values on each of the two observations. I would declare Y to be CATEGORICAL, and specify the analysis TYPE = LOGISTIC. Would that work?

In the last post, I should have said each observation has k(i)
out of n(i) trials.

Would be interesting if you could try this out on some known example.
posted on Friday, June 11, 2004 - 11:14 am
I just read in the Mplus User's Guide that frequency weights cannot be used when TYPE=LOGISTIC.
posted on Friday, June 11, 2004 - 11:19 am
But you don't need to use Type = Logistic to do this - you can simply request estimator = ml and then it will do logistic regression. That goes down a different track in Mplus which allows frequency weights. See the last paragraph in UG example 3.5 and the corresponding example on the Mplus CD where this is explicitly done.

Following up on the previous posts, is it possible to specify a binomial (n,p) distribution for variables in the latest version of Mplus?
Thank you.

posted on Thursday, December 10, 2009 - 11:44 am
It is not possible to specify this distribution directly. I think however you can rearrange the data and use the binary input to estimate most models. In your data instead of the binomial variable use n binary variables some of them 0 and some of them 1 so that it corresponds to binomial count. If n varies across individual you can specify this as a binary univariate (long) twolevel model. You can also consider as an approximation the offset approach using Poisson distribution. See this thread
This approximation is theoretically solid when p is small, i.e., when p is small Poisson (np)=Binomial(n,p). By symmetry you can use that even when p is large.

I would like to create a CFA model with one factor and four count indicators. But each count indicator separately needs an offset correction for different exposure times (e.g. person m has another exposure time for y1 than for y2 etc.). So I have four count outcomes y1-y4 and four different log transformed exposure time variables ln1-ln4 (the Poisson regression coefficients for ln1-ln4 was fixed at 1).
Is this model doable in Mplus in the following way:
factor BY y1-y4*;
y1 ON
y2 ON
y3 ON
y4 ON
! the 4 Intercepts are free parameters
Thank you
and best wishes for the new year!

I'm trying to compare the Mplus output of a ZIP model with the R output from PSCL. PSCL gives me this:
Number of iterations in BFGS optimization: 13
Log-likelihood: -98.51 on 4 Df
However, Mplus gives me this:
Number of Free Parameters 3
H0 Value -99.286
Can you tell me what accounts for the difference in the models?

Check that you have the same number of parameters. Sharpen the convergence criterion in Mplus using the mconvergence option.

Ed Levine's Caloric Journey, Week 181: The Dentist Diet, Painfully Effective
Although I wouldn't wish what I have gone through this week on anyone, I have to say that five visits to a dentist in four days is certainly an effective caloric journey enhancer.
My teeth and gums had been hurting all last week, but I certainly wasn't going to go to the dentist before the Sandwich Fest. I didn't eat much there anyway, but not because of my sandwich fest planning. I was just too busy.
But by last Sunday my mouth was killing me, so I went to the dentist on Monday. I told him the roof of my mouth was swollen, especially on my right side. He gave that side of my mouth an ultrasonic cleaning. He told me to eat soft food, chew on the left side, and try to limit myself to room temperature foods. I had hummus and pita bread for dinner.
It hurt even worse on Tuesday, so I went back to the dentist Tuesday afternoon. I told him my lower right teeth were also hurting. He took some more x-rays and sent me on my way. I even stayed home from HQ on Tuesday. I wasn't taking any chances, so I ate very little on Tuesday. I mostly drank room temperature water.
My mouth hurt all through Wednesday, when my dentist's office was closed so that the whole crew could go to a seminar (I hope it was on patient pain management). It hurt so much at that point that I ate very little that day, because I didn't want to irritate the inflamed area by chewing or even drinking.
But all this didn't prepare me for Thursday.
I went back to the dentist for a third time on Thursday morning. He examined me yet again, and finally noticed that one tooth on the upper right side of my mouth was so sensitive he thought it might be an abscess that demanded treatment by a specialist, a root canal specialist.
I went directly from the dentist to the specialist (that would be four visits to the dentist to those of you interested in counting). He examined me and took some very fancy and expensive 3D x-rays (think Avatar for teeth), and determined that I indeed needed a root canal procedure on the damaged tooth.
His assistant told me to come back at 2:45 (visit number five) for the procedure. She also went out of her way to tell me to have a good, substantial lunch in the interim because I was only going to be able to eat liquids for the two days following the root canal procedure.
I had half a BLT from 'wichcraft, which would have been perfect with two more slices of bacon, corn salad with pesto, and a seriously delicious mixed berry mini-pie, and I do mean seriously delicious: berries were firm and not goopy, and the streusel crust was light and flaky.
I went back for the procedure, which went smoothly, and I spent last night recovering and in varying amounts of pain. I'm already feeling much better.
I had gotten on the scale on Wednesday, halfway through my dental nightmare, and I had indeed lost some weight while all this was going on. As I say, I wouldn't recommend it as a caloric journey any other serious eater should embark on, but it was painfully effective.

The person who wrote that was not claiming authority; they wrote, as you quoted, 'as far as I know'.

The claim that this is infamous characterisation of your countrymen is indeed hyperbolic.
Don't worry about it. I feel no need to apologise for my denseness in not noticing that it was an attempt at humour, so you certainly don't have to feel guilty about my densesness. The threads are a better place for humour, even if it doesn't always work for some. Carry on, please.

This British author mentions only talk to, although does mention talk with for 'some American speakers':
speak - talk - used with 'to' and 'with'
If you speak to someoneone or talk to them, you have a conversation with them,
I saw you speaking to him just now.
I enjoyed talking to Anne.
Some American speakers say speak with or talk with.
Sinclair, John [Editor-in-Chief] (1992) Collins Cobuild English Usage, London: HarperCollins
Below are from Macmillan Dictionary and Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English respectively, both BrE dictionaries. They do not say that 'talk with' is AmE.
I would like to hear from BrE native speakers.
Thanks in advance.
1. to have a conversation with other people
They were all talking and laughing together.
talk to: I need to talk to you.
talk with: Everyone was busily talking with their friends.
talk about: We were talking about you just last night.
2. Parents should talk with their children about drug abuse.

Of course dictionaries don't list unnatural forms. They would be ten times the weight and size if they did.
So far you have had me, a speaker of BrE saying: For me, and for many speakers of BrE, 'talk (verb) with' is not very natural. While nobody has appeared to say, "Of course Johnson is right, as always", nobody has yet disagreeed violently.
You had a quotation from Swan, a widely repected writer in BrE areas, giving only 'to' examples, and then saying that some American speakers use 'with'. You then found Macmillan and Longman who do not say that 'with' is AmE. (Why you want speakers of BrE to confirm that is beyond me).
If you like, I'll give you the Longman Dictionary of American English definitions of talk -"1. to say things to someone as part of a conversation", two quotations, one each for 'to' and 'with; "2. to discuss something with someone, especially something important", one quotation for 'with, none for 'to'.
Just what is it about my original statement, implicitly confirmed by Swan, that makes you so desperate for confirmation?

Millennium Comet
|Millennium Comet
|To maintain the landscape of Forina.
|Jirachi: Wish Maker
The Millennium Comet is a comet which appears once every thousand years, coinciding with the awakening of the Millennium Crystal.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The Millennium Comet is an object located in deep space, which is notably heralded in the Pokémon Universe as appearing only once in the period of a millennia. The Comet supposedly is a body of very powerful energy, so powerful that Butler required its energy source, coupled with Jirachi's true eye to artificially create a Groudon. Under normal circumstances, Jirachi's role in the awakening cycle is to absorb the limitless energy from the Millennium Comet and disperse it into the landscape of Forina, in order to maintain balances in its environment.
Due to the rare occasion in which the Millennium Comet makes an appearance, the Millennium Festival was established to commemorate this event. At the Millennium Festival, there are various items sold there to supposedly gain luck to the wielder derived from the Comet itself. One such item is the "Wishing Star", which is sold by a travelling businessman, which works by folding a section of the star down on each night that the Comet appears, which May is goaded into purchasing.
The Wishing Star is meant to grant your wish on the seventh night of the Comet. However, whether or not it actually works is not identified, as on the final night of the Millennium Comet's appearance, May forgets to fold the last section due to the events taking place.

The Apple iPhone 4 has been a huge hit and with the iPhone 5 launch being delayed to September, it will be the smartphone every new Android device will be compared to. And though it's almost an year old now, comparisons of the iPhone 4 with new Android phones are inevitable, as it is one of the best smartphones known to mankind. In this post, I will pit the new Samsung Galaxy S 2 against the Apple iPhone 4. Expect some fireworks.
While design preferences are subjective, I can safely say that both the Galaxy S 2 and the iPhone 4 have very stylish designs. The iPhone 4 has dimensions of 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3 mm while the Galaxy S 2 has dimensions of 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5 mm. The Galaxy S 2 is the slimmest smartphone around, slimmer than even the anorexic Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc.
It is also very light, with a weight of only 116 gms compared to the iPhone 4's 134 gms. I would prefer the Galaxy S 2.
The Samsung Galaxy S 2 comes with a 4.3 inch capacitive SuperAMOLED Plus display with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. It is easily the best display in town, in terms of size, contrast, display quality etc. It is perfect for watching videos and movies.
The iPhone 4 comes with a 3.5 inch IPS LCD 'Retina' display with a resolution of 640 x 960 pixels. It is one of the best displays in the market, but loses out before the Galaxy S 2 in terms of size as well as overall quality.
Again, the Galaxy S 2 wins.
The Samsung Galaxy S 2 easily trumps the iPhone 4 when it comes to hardware, but that is obvious, as it is yet to be launched, while the iPhone 4 was launched in June last year.
The iPhone 4 comes with a 1 GHz processor with 512 MB RAM and 16/32 GB internal storage. The Galaxy S 2 comes with a 1.2 GHz dual core Exynos processor and 1 GB RAM. It also has 16/32 GB internal storage and supports microSD cards.
Winner: Galaxy S 2
Now this is the part where we have two completely divided camps. Some prefer iOS with its ease of use, great user interface, huge library of apps and games (almost 400,000) while some prefer Android with its openness, customizability, better multitasking, and not-as-huge library of apps and games (200,000). With the Galaxy S 2, you get Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread and TouchWiz 4.0 which offer excellent performance thanks to the powerful hardware.
There is no clear verdict in this section, but I would prefer the Galaxy S 2 with Android. Just my preference.
The Samsung Galaxy S 2 has an 8 MP camera with autofocus and LED flash. It can shoot 1080p videos at 30 FPS and also comes with a 2 MP secondary camera. It is second only to the Xperia Arc and the Nokia N8, in terms of image quality. It definitely blows the iPhone 4's 5 MP camera out of the water. The Galaxy S 2 is a clear winner in this department.
The Galaxy S 2 can play any video format which currently exists on Planet Earth. It's a pleasure watching videos on the 4.3 inch SuperAMOLED Plus display, going by all the reviews I have seen. It is THE device to have if you want to watch videos on the move. It wins.
Web Browsing
Both the iPhone 4 and the Galaxy S 2 have excellent web browsers, both default and third-party. But as the Galaxy S 2 has a bigger display, and also supports Flash, I would go with it.
The Verdict
As you can clearly see, the iPhone 4 is now outdated. The Samsung Galaxy 2 is quite obviously the best smartphone on the market. It should be launched soon, and I expect it to be the best Android phone of 2011.

Jason does a little demonstration to help illustrate servo torque in action!
This past year we've released a number of linear motion components helpful in designing your projects. We've also received lots of questions, so we decided to do a two part series on it. So, sit back, relax, grab a bag of popcorn because Kyle and Jason break down some common methods for driving linear motion.
We are excited to roll out our new Omni Wheels! Omni wheels have the unique ability to not only roll forward but they also can roll side to side thanks to their built-in rollers
As an engineer at Robotzone my job is to design innovative parts. The innovation many times stems from frustration with parts that are currently available on the market – either the available parts won't allow users to build something a certain way or the available parts can be a weak link or point of failure. That's why we are excited to launch the new D-hubs into the ever-growing line of Actobotics® parts!
This project centers on the ServoCity 4" heavy duty wheel. I wanted an easy way of mounting a gear motor to the 4" wheel. Along the way, I decided to add 4 different clocked positions so the motor can be attached allowing several different ratios with the same motor.
About six weeks ago we partnered with SparkFun to launch the SparkFun-Actobotics Stairclimbing Robot Challenge. We invited you to show off your robotic skills and win some pretty hefty prizes from SparkFun. Needless to say we weren't disappointed!
We don't know about you, but we're so excited the new "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is FINALLY out! In honor of it's release we want to share the AWESOME customer project built by Dave Stein ( a software engineer and tinkerer).
The use of technology in awesome and incredible ways gets us totally geeked out, especially when it's using technology for good. When our tech team started visiting with Frank, we new this would be one of those stories, where we would see something really awesome made for the benefit and wellness of someone else. Check out Frank's story. It's definitely worth a read….
