Caps in Russia: Updates on Kozlov, Fedorov, Zednik, Jagr & More
We finally have another update from Fedor Fedin. It's been awhile, but it's for good reason. Since the KHL is about to wrap up the first half of it's current season, we gave Fedor the tall task of tracking down every KHL player with any Washington Capital ties and asked him to let us know how they've been doing – good or bad. So basically if a guy has played for the Capitals in the past (Andrei Nikolishin), played on one of our AHL Affiliated Teams (Brandon Sugden), or been drafted by the team (Dmitri Orlov), they're on the list. We thought this was a good idea because we honestly miss some of our favorite erstwhile Caps from the past like: Viktor Kozlov, Sergei Fedorov, Richard Zednik, and Chris Simon, and thought this would be a great opportunity for everyone to get caught up. Sadly, that human-ball-of-waste known as Jaromir Jagr is on the list, too, but since he's one of Fedor's favorite players on Avangard Omsk, we're going to let it slide.
Anyways, below the fold is a huge table full of stats and information on all the Former Caps in the KHL.

According to a survey, 75 percent of CFOs believe they should lead shareholder-value initiatives. CFOs also expect to spend more time with their CEO and business executives on strategic activities such as mergers and acquisitions, strategic planning, and business development. They consider their greatest barriers to be the skills of their finance staff and resistance from senior management. Clear differences in priorities exist between American, European, and Asian CFOs. This report explores the changes chief financial officers anticipate in relationships with shareholders, their CEO and senior management, and finance staff over the next three years.

Are Kate Middleton's parents trying to cash in on their daughter's pregnancy?
Many Brits think yes, after Carole and Michael Middleton introduced new lines of baby shower and 1st birthday products on their Party Pieces website this week.
"The arrival of a first grandchild is usually a source of great celebration," the UK's Daily Mail reported. "And for Carole and Michael Middleton it would appear to be a good business opportunity too."
The royal couple announced their pregnancy earlier this month and the national news media closely followed Kate Middleton's struggle with morning sickness that landed the Duchess of Cambridge in the hospital. Only a few weeks later, the Middleton family's party supplies website introduced baby products emblazoned with castles and prince and princess crowns.
The 'Little Prince' and 'Little Princess' party sets—which include plates, napkins and cutlery—are described as "suitable for American-style baby showers, christening parties or first birthday celebrations."
This isn't the first time the Middleton family has come under fire for selling royal-themed supplies on their website (which is thought to be profitable since the family recently purchased an estate costing 4.7 million pounds). Many Brits found items themed around the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the Royal Wedding tacky and inappropriate.
What do you think? Is the Middleton family crossing the line? Or are they simply running a business?

The higher wattage was what I was after and it delivers.
The customer service was fantastic, I had a few questions relating to the product, and they answered within 24 hours. I couldn't be happier.
I've trailed the charger for a few weeks now and have had no issues at all.
The power supply is a tad on the loud side due to the fan is always on, however, this fan is totally necessary because those higher amp draws create some heat.
A message to any UK buyers, customs will add around £25 to this package due to import tax, but this is completely reasonable due to the excellent product you're purchasing! (Posted on 5/29/2014)

Welcome to ModelEngineMaker !If you have problems registering or logging in, please use the contact menu option to request assistance.
Hi Thomas, Thanks for the PM and link, been a bit wobbly lately so have a lot of catching up to do. Regards Paul Gough.
My only comment on this build is that doing pressure testing with air vs. water isn't allowed at my club. The hydro test requires that the boiler be full. Failure is much less dramatic in this scenario.
Since the steam trap is at boiler pressure, instead of draining it to atmosphere would it not be better to connect it back to the boiler?Gerald.
Hi Thomas, there is no reason not to run the liquid outlet back to the boiler, if it was a full size boiler, the whole device would be inside the steam drum with the outlet just running to the bottom of the drum. But it would take some ingenuity to fit one into a model. No need for a check valve, in fact better without it. The only critical thing for running it back to the boiler is that the highest liquid level and the highest hole in the centre tube in your separator must be above the liquid level in the full boiler.If I understand your design, the steam from the boiler goes in the top, flows down and out through the holes in the centre tube and completes a 180 degree change of direction to flow back up to the outlet in the side near the top of the outside shell. That 180 degree change of direction is critical to the good separation of the liquid phase. If you have some good insulation, there should be no significant condensation, it is mostly carryover from the boiler, and may be continuous until the boiler level gets down a bit. Or your steam turret may minimise it if I remember your boiler design correctly. You don't seem to have much volume in the separator to accumulate water below the top holes in the centre tube, so better to drain it back to the boiler continuously.The return to the boiler, (near the bottom, not above the liquid level), acts like a u-tube. If some water builds up on one side, it will flow around the bottom until the levels are equal, or out at the top of the other side into the boiler if it reaches that first. I am sure you know the principal. The pressure at the liquid surface on both sides is the same, so the flow is driven purely by the differences in level. If you put a check valve you will need a few extra inches of height to provide the pressure to lift the ball. You can work it out from the weight of the ball divided by the area of the hole you drill for the seat. I think I would run the u-tube down as much as you have space for, then back up to the bottom of the boiler to the boiler inlet to make a clear "U", not just a single 90 degree elbow.I know you called it a steam trap and I have called it a separator. Yo'all often use different terms to the rest of the English speaking world, it is just terminology, I can deal with that. In fact though, I should change that, I have found that in the Deep South, you use the same words, you just say them differently. It is further North that they actually use different terms, making conversation more confusing. And anyhow, you are all way, way North to us! So a little mystery to be discussed another time.Looking forward to seeing the operation of your separator.MJM460
Ok, Thomas, we are talking the same language, just a minor difference in usage. Though only two m's in Aluminium. The story here goes that some executive in an American aluminium company spelt it wrong in the early days, and no one had the courage to correct him. Or perhaps no one else noticed. The extra "i" is consistent with other element naming in the periodic table but you folk are unlikely to change. It would be a huge job for not much benefit. So it just remains another linguistic difference.I am quite familiar with the automatic traps, which as you say discharge to a lower pressure return system or a drain. I have usually just put a cap in the end of a vertical pipe, with the outlet to the turbine on the side a little above. Then an automatic trap on the bottom. But in a full size plant we are dealing with much more condensate, as you know. The automatic steam trap is quite important, as I have spent much more time in commissioning than in normal operation, so more than the normal number of stop - start operations, which also means more condensate in the headers. Once the machine is running 24/7 for most of the time, it would not surprise me if they are removed the first time they give trouble, as with a continuous flow of steam they are hardly necessary, and the manual valve for the occasional startup is adequate. For your separator, the only thing I would suggest is that steam outlet stays horizontal to the engine outlet, or runs up to the engine, so that any condensate formed in that section while the engine is stationary runs back to the trap instead of into the engine. No point in going to the effort of making the trap and then draining the condensate into the engine anyway. More important in the model world than larger scale, as relatively, our engines spend more time stationary.Looking forward to seeing the complete setup is action with an engine on the trolley.MJM460
I really like that setup with the cart!

Here are a few mods that have made playing a Death Knight far better.
Of course some of these have applications for non-DKs, and there are a stack of ones that are generally useful across all characters.
- Rune Watch. My favourite display for rune power, disease timer, and all the DK information which in normally handled by the default DK unit frame.
- DK Presence Alert. This mod warns when you get threat, but instead of saying "Threat!!" it says "Switch to Frost presence!!!". This is good as its a threat warning as well as a reminder for when you're tanking but are in the wrong presence.
- DotTimers. I use this for tracking what I have applied to which mob, which is also handled by the Rune Watch, but it is handy to see some of the extra cooldowns with the disease ticks.
- Power Auras Classic. A way of showing customised screen affects based upon combat conditions. eg. I have Unholy Blight so that it creates a green circle around the RuneWatch area. This way I look in one easy place for all the single target info I need.
- ZOMGBuffs. Reminders for Horn of Winter and Bone Armour. Works across all classes, and handy that it pre-warns so you can fit the spell into the next rotation set.
If you're serious about a DK get something that each of these mods does.

The special collectors 3-packs are being clearanced at Target.And if you are certain person at another website, that's an excuse to vent at supposedly cheapskate collectors, because, blah, blah...these sets were so good or something that they shouldn't have made it to clearance (even though the earlier ones did).
Finally found some Target clearance goodness today, $6.98 TVC figs and $17.48 TVC 3-packs. Looks like stores brought any remaining 3-pack stock out of the backrooms to unload, but not so with the figures. It's the same stinky garbage that's been rotting on the pegs since before Christmas.

So today I spent all day inside The COMET (which was surprisingly warm despite the 30 degree weather outside and considering it has no heat, broken windows and 1950's insulation). I was measuring all of the interior space (cabinets, beds, appliances, etc) and simultaneously making a SketchUp 3D model so that I could begin to figure out how much I need of each material (flooring, countertop, paint). Here are some stills of the model I'm working on…and keep in mind, it's a rough draft! The green color is just to differentiate between walls and cabinets. Soon I'll use these stills to diagram the interior space in a more conceptual way. Also, this is just the interior measurements (no windows, no door) and the exterior still needs to be measured.
Google SketchUp is a free 3D modeling tool, it's very easy to use and an awesome resource. If you don't already use it, download it and start fooling around!
I'm glad to have this working model, now I can (finally!) not only figure out how much I need of each material/building supply, but also begin to figure out what modifications I will be making: for example, where the refrigerator will go, which parts I'll move around and rearrange, and how I want to personalize and maximize the design of the space. Also, I'll be able to put on potential solar panels in different configurations, test out some different ideas for the bumper greenhouse, and some other things. I'm really excited! I also came up with the idea of using textured colored glass as the bathroom window, for privacy and color (one of my closest friends is a stained-glass smith, and I think I can get some scraps from him). I also thought, since the window in the door is broken, he and I should make a stained glass window for it out of scraps or recycled glass he has around the shop!
Also, as a side note about something I thought about all day today: I'm going to design and fabricate my own urine diverter (and build a vacuum form to do it) because I had an awful experience trying to find a good composting toilet situation for a small space like The COMET. I'm going to build the composting toilet, and there will be instructions on how to do everything (the vacuum forming , fabricating the diverter, building the toilet) right here on cometcamper.wordpress.com! Power to the DIY people!
So the post about my awesome day yesterday in Mashpee with "G" Green Design Center and Cotuit Solar is going to have to wait until tomorrow, but it will be very worth it and I encourage you all to check back tomorrow!!

It's been all monumentally, simple moments up on the hill. Summer has basically come and almost gone while I wasn't looking.
The shutters are still a project. Lying half painted and waiting. I have to admit I'll give them credit they don't yell at me like other inanimate objects. Like my laptop. It whispers all the time. Words, words, words. The shutters wait with a quiet confidence that I'll return and they'll be all firecracker red in no time. The laptop, it sometimes shutters a little in fear. As if all of time will pass by and the words I was meant to write will rest inside of me for all time.
I'm listening in the quiet places. Somedays I live another life instead of writing. Somedays I fill the plastic pool and buy a watermelon and pick up the Charmings (the duo that makes up part of the wolf pack when all the littles are together.) and say HEY - WANT TO HAVE SOME ZAZA FUN? And they act like I walk on water, that I have superpowers, that I am someone really important. Higher ranking than any queen or diplomat. Then they climb in my car and I take them to the pool and cut the watermelon and they stand in one foot of water with watermelon slices, red juice running down their arms and grin at each other and nod their hands like - IS THIS NOT THE BEST LIFE EVER???? Zaza is fighting something and a little under the weather but they don't need to know this and in this moment - it is the best day ever. And then we watered flowers and drew pictures and played with trucks and lit sparklers on the front porch and watched a movie. And that was a very, good day.
Life still opens up slowly up on the hill. The fog lifts and changes shapes, finds the trees, climbs higher. On my better days I'm up in time to watch this show take place. It settles me and sets the tone. Breathe it says. Just breathe. And God says things. Like yes and I know. And, just breathe.
I'm on the road now which seems to be my natural state of being. Wheels moving across the asphalt where they can just keep on moving like we'll just drive into the hereafter if we don't slow down. I've snuck off to a coffee house because the house is still sleeping. Mama and cousins so as soon as I open my eyes and say thank you God I'm still breathing, the world is still spinning, gravity is not lost - I think COFFEE like I need an IV fix, pull on jeans a shirt I've worn three days running, grab laptop bag and find the closest coffee shop. It's a new one for me. I so long to head over the bridge and park in St. Andrews where writer friend Tony Simmons hangs but I'm sticking close to the family this am. So I'm at a new place. Finn's it's called. Attached to the old Mr. Surf's. A hangout of my teenage years.
There's a guy talking Jesus. I know this because he has said Jesus a few times and then mentioned Corinthians. I gotta say, he looks healthy. That kind of tan and juicing healthy that some people look. Not like vampires that have been up late singing King of the Road at Cousin Deb's backyard Karoke bar. I bet he went to bed at an earlier hour. Now I notice praise music is playing on the speakers. They have soy candles for sell and raw almonds and hemp seeds and bottles of wine for sale. This is good. All of it is good.
I put in earphones and play David Gray's Babylon. Again. It's my new over and over and over song.
And read a few pages of Always We Begin Again. The tiniest of books. Evidence that the weight of words isn't measured by the length of them. I make a note to read the meditation, Each Day on the air on Clearstory Radio next Wednesday. Being back on the air is like slipping on an old coat. One I've missed and get to remember brand new all over again. It's a strange little mixture of words and songs all celebrating living a creative life with soul.
The news. Greece hurt me. People driven to cliffs to try to find the sea, to escape. Families clinging to one another in a last embrace knowing they will die. Found that way. A thousand million words couldn't say more to me than that image in my heart which spoke volumes of all that we hold dear and love and the best of who we are. One last embrace.
Today is my friend Fran's Birthday. She happened to be mother to one of my best friends, grandmother to three gorgeous girls who continue to bless my life just by knowing them. But she was also a friend with open arms, a great supporter of so many authors. A lover of story, a compassionate, passionate person full wonder. She was - and still is - a part of the magic that makes up my life.
Today I hope you find the magic that makes your life worthy of every blessed minute we have here together. I'll be back soon.
Peace and promises,
Thanks so much for reading, liking and sharing with friends.
July 2020

I finished up Karen's RR and its ready to get into the mail. I decided to add a turkey and pumpkins to the right hand side and another tree. Her theme is country so I didn't want to get too many farm critters in there. But since I love Autumn, I couldn't resist adding a touch of fall-ish colour to this one. I hope Karen likes it. Her neighbourhood is really taking shape with 6 houses now on it!
Tomorrow is hubby and my 28th wedding anniversary. We are planning to celebrate with dinner in Toronto and a movie. Yup, that's about our speed these days. And we each bought ourselves our own anniversary gifts - he got a new 'walking' lawnmower and I bought a new sewing machine. So it looks like we'll both be studying manuals to figure out how to put these things together and make them work.
Have a great weekend!

Love Progress!
Some goodies bought at yard sales this weekend....2 Omni grid rulers, both looking brand new, and for only 25 cents each! That's a whale of a bargain! And some more wooden spools to add to my collection.
I have managed to get some good stitching time on the Love Sampler the past few days - enough so that even I can see some progress. I'm about halfway through the third set of pages, after that only one more set....I think I might get this done in time for the September wedding!
Meanwhile machine quilting has come to a dead stop. My wonderful little Janome machine has never honestly done well with free motion quilting but now its putting up such a fuss, that I'm ready to throw in the towel. I haved tried numerous different types of needles, but still the thread keeps breaking or the needle skips several stitches, not to mention the tension on the back is awful. No amount of playing with different settings seems to make any difference. So my Lucky Stars quilt sits with half the stars stippled and the other half barren. I've been checking the want ads thinking to buy an older used machine for simple machine quilting.
And I think I think some lessons in photography..... :-(

A cold holiday weekend
It was a holiday weekend for us with Victoria Day yesterday and as usual, our first weekend at the cottage....and as usual it was cold cold cold.....and rainy! It doesn't make for the most fun, although we did get in a lovely walk through the woods on Sunday morning. And hubby's Aunt's birthday party was a great time. There must have been 80 people who attended. It was wonderful to catch up with people we hadn't seen for quite a while.
It seems most of my stitching projects are on 40 ct linens and I can't stitch on these any more without a magnifier, so I took along LHN's Watermelon and got a nice start on that. Poor little blackbird - he is beakless at the moment!
Yesterday afternoon I got back to working on my latest RR, this one is Karen's and she requested a country feel for her neighbourhood. I decided to use The Prairie Schooler's A Farmer's Almanac. Its may be a little more woodsy looking but I thought this fit for me.
I'm in the process of stitching in some hens and chicks at the bottom before I fill in the grassy bits, but I'm still undecided what to do with the right hand side. Some more trees maybe?
Thanks for stopping by!

Some updates
Finally....a chance to update my blog! I feel like I have been in a whirlwind since we got back from Charlotte last week. Carrie and I had a wonderful time visiting with Kelly and Chris. We did a lot of shopping, lots of eating, and even had a chance to visit Carrie's bridesmaid Erin who lives about an hour from Kelly. I managed to find shoes for the wedding and a handbag, as well as some gorgeous new sandals for summer, and some clothes to add to my disgraceful wardrobe.
Since I've been home, I put together a McKenna Ryan wallhanging. Its a present for hubby's dear aunt who is turning 75 this weekend. She is an avid gardener and although I tend to forget the names of most flowers, the purple coneflower I do remember being plentiful in her garden so I thought this wallhanging was perfect for her. All that's left to do is handsew the rest of the binding on and its finished.
And I finished up Donna's round robin for the Quaker Friendship Round Robin. Just in time too I think because the next mailing date is fast approaching.
Sorry for the darkish picture! Donna chose NPI silk in a gorgeous deep green for her piece and it looks amazing in RL.
And a finish for me - A Stitcher's Prayer by Little House Needleworks. I had to admit that I was glad to get this one done, I made so many mistakes and frogged so many sections, even using the completely wrong colour floss in the house. Why do designers use symbols that are so similar? Or is it just my eyesight that needs some help? So when I realized, half way through, that there was a huge error in counting in the bottom line of design, I left it as is....kind of fits with the prayer that way I think.
Thanks for stopping by!

I'm leaving!
And we're off! Tomorrow, that is, to Charlotte, North Carolina to visit my daughter Kelly for a few days. I was surprised with an early Mother's Day gift from Carrie with 2 airplane tickets, one for each of us. I'm so excited to be going away and visiting with Kelly and Chris. And of course , we'll have to manage to get in a little shopping here and there :-D
I have to add in a stitching update, although I still don't feel like I'm making much progress on anything. I guess that's what happens when you in the middle of a honking big project like this one. Sorry no photos, its a dark gloomy day and I have several lights on in the house even though its morning.
Here is Love with a Capital L, 7 weeks after starting.
Its coming though and I have to remind myself I'm almost at the halfway point! And I am enjoying stitching this, I love not changing floss colours over and over again.
Have a great weekend! I'll be back at the end of next week.

I knew I was in for something special once I saw the email.
It was forwarded to me by a big league exec with a simple "You're welcome." The original email was sent to nearly 200 people, a veritable who's who of the international scouting community. It's from Edgar Mercedes, a Dominican-based agent who is often involved with Cuban defectors. The message, written in all caps, thanks the readers for coming to the showcase and links to a YouTube page with the video presented at the event. The video concerns Yeonis Cespedes, a 26-year-old outfielder who is currently in the Dominican looking to sign with a big league team. His resume from Cuba is significant as he hit .333 during the 2010-11 campaign while joining Jose Abreu in establishing a new league record with 33 home runs. He's a tremendous talent—arguably the best all-around player to come out of Cuba in a generation. He's a legitimate centerfielder with plus power and speed and is in his prime. Much like Aroldis Chapman was the best pitcher from the island, Cespedes is the best position player, and Mercedes will be expecting (and likely getting) a Chapman-like deal in the neighborhood of $30 million.
I was expecting a standard scouting video. A few minutes of hitting—shot from different angles—some shots of him chasing fly balls in center and throwing, and then some base running. Once I opened the video, however, I saw that it was over 20 minutes long, and knew I was in for something much different, but I could never imagine just how good it was.
Now if I was a nice person, I'd just embed the video right here, but I'm not going to do that. Before you watch it, I actually want to walk you through this majestic work. I want you to continue to read my description of what you are about to see, and figure out at what point you think I'm making some of this up. To be clear, I'm not. …

How many games do you lose by less than 10 points? Quite a few? How would you like to win all those games? Quite a lot?
Well, you could do - by improving your endgame play. Amateurs blunder away a staggering number of points in the endgame. It is no exaggeration to say that a strong dan player can pick up 20 or 30 points in the yose.

According to Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tina Rosenberg, peer pressure draws its energy from the powerful human desire to be connected to others. Because the desire for connection is so strong, peer pressure is "a mighty and terrible force—so powerful that, for the vast majority of people, the best antidote to it is more peer pressure."
What do you think? Is peer pressure a tool that can be employed in the service of better health?
This is one question that will be considered during the UT Health Science Center's fifth One Community/One Book program, which will feature Rosenberg's book, Join the Club: How Peer Pressure Can Transform the World.

His paintings, moreover, go far to prove the curator's point that mid-century art and mid-century architecture are brothers under the skin. Benjamin was close friends with Claremont's leading modern architect, Fred McDowell, and had McDowell design the home where he has lived for more than half a century.
Benjamin's house is a classic mid-century modern California ranch, long and low, with a gabled roof over clerestoried glass, open beams and generous overhangs, an open floor plan, and a wall of glass facing the rear courtyard and the painter's studio. It looks in many ways like a Joe Eichler home, beautiful in its simplicity, with quiet lines, open spaces, and restrained decoration. What can be cooler than that? The structure is clearly apparent—much as the structure is apparent in Benjamin's paintings.
McDowell, who studied architecture at the University of Southern California, spent his career in the Claremont area, designing many custom homes, several small modern subdivisions, and college buildings.
"I really think this house was a great influence on me," says Benjamin, who knew little about modern architecture when he commissioned McDowell to design the house. "I got to become immediately a friend of Fred's. We went over the plans. I didn't understand what I was looking at it, so he explained why he did this and why he did that.
The resemblance between his paintings and McDowell's architecture became apparent to Benjamin only after the fact. The series of paintings most influenced by the house he named his 'post-and-beam' paintings, after the house's structural system.
The architect also noticed the resemblance, says his widow, Shirley McDowell, who remains friends with Benjamin and his wife, Beverly. When Fred McDowell chose a Benjamin painting to hang in their home, she says, "I said, 'I know why you chose that painting. It looks just like your architecture.' "
Armstrong sees other formal parallels between mid-century painting and mid-century architecture. "Just as the light-filled modernist house is open to the elements, with walls and ceilings seeming more like planes floating in space than enclosures," she writes, "hard-edge paintings of the period are characterized by a play between opaque and transparent forms, an instability of spatial division, and ambiguity between flatness and depth."
Among the artists and designers whose work makes up the 'Birth of the Cool' show are Charles and Ray Eames, furniture designers and architects; Julius Shulman, whose photos of elegant people in stark interiors made modernism appealing. The 'Birth of the Cool' catalogue also features classic and cool-as-glass Ernie Braun photos of Eichler homes.
One section of the catalogue focuses on William Claxton, the photographer and designer of record album covers, whose photos of Sonny Rollins, Chet Baker, and Gerry Mulligan defined the Los Angeles Cool Jazz scene. "The look of his photos was the way you wanted things to look," David Hickey writes in one essay, on Claxton and Cool Jazz. But it is the hard-edge mid-century painters whose work makes up the centerpiece of the show. Benjamin never thought of his art as 'cool,' and his approach to painting seems far from rational. Despite the work's hard-edge look, Benjamin works intuitively, not mathematically. And even though his brushstrokes are invisible, the act of painting is a sensuous one for Benjamin.
"An Abstract Classicist painting," Langsner wrote in the introduction to the 1959 show, "represents a rational crystallization of intuitive experience." Benjamin's work also suggests how Cool—both the general aesthetic and his particular paintings—had a social component. The Cool aesthetic, in many ways, was a quiet protest against the materialism of the 1950s, and to the increasingly paranoid Cold War world, complete with its McCarthy-ish witch-hunts and its missile races. Cool was a distancing technique, a stepping back from a world that was increasingly insane.
Benjamin, whose politics veers left, never saw his art as political, though he says that devoting ones life to abstract art is itself something of a political statement. He did produce a 'Viet Cong series,' he says, "after my students were kidding me about doing abstract paintings, not socially important things."
Benjamin showed his work at the Pasadena Museum in 1954—only a few years after creating his first painting. The Four Abstract Classicists show, which put him on the map, opened in San Francisco, showed in Los Angeles, and traveled to the East Coast and Europe.

Welcome to the Nobel Cause Symposium Series
Nobel Laureates Symposium in Hong Kong 2015
Memorandum signing marks closure of Symposium in Hong Kong 2015
The 4th Nobel Laureates Symposium on Global Sustainability "4C: Changing Climate, Changing Cities", co-hosted in Hong Kong by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the Asia Society Hong Kong (ASHK) Center, concluded on 25 April 2015. After three days of intense discussions with renowned experts from climate science as well as urbanisation research, the participating Nobel Laureates signed a Memorandum entitled "The Great Urban Transformation". This document, challenging cities and nation-states, will now start its journey to stakeholders around the world. It is intended to eventually feed into the preparation of the World Climate Summit to be held in Paris at the end of the year.
Special thanks go to the partners and sponsors of the symposium for their continued financial support of the symposium.
The Potsdam-Asia Society 2015 Hong Kong Symposium is the first in the series to be held outside Europe, and has a strong focus on the East Asia and Pacific region. It brings together Nobel Laureates, eminent scientists, policy makers, global and business leaders and key community stakeholders. How the urbanization of Asia proceeds will affect its populations and have critical impacts on climate change with global consequences. The Laureates discuss presentations from experts on subjects that are crucial to planetary health and human survival. Many participants are attending from China and other Asian countries, representing ministerial and other senior levels. The concern and involvement of Laureates emphasizes the importance of the debate to governments and decision-making bodies.

Downtown Manhattan Penthouse Sells for a Record $50.9 Million
A penthouse in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood has closed for $50.9 million. According to listing agent Vickey Barron of Douglas Elliman, the deal sets a new record for the most expensive home sale downtown.
Called Penthouse One, the 5,955-square-foot, five-bedroom, 5½-bath apartment takes up the entire 24th floor of Walker Tower, an Art Deco office building converted to condos by JDS Development Group and Property Markets Group. It has a private south-facing terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows on all four sides, allowing views of the Statue of Liberty, the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building, Ms. Barron said. The unit also has nearly 13-foot-high coffered ceilings and three wood-burning fireplaces.
The apartment was listed in September for $55 million, and went into contract less than a month later, according to Ms. Barron, who represented both the buyer and seller.

text: I hope this is an ok place to post this, but i am curious which degree is the best to get. I am currently enrolled as a computer science major, but have been looking at the computer engineering degree. The way I'm looking at it, the engineering degree looks more flexible, but the computer science degree seems more specialized. If I am mainly interested in programming (assuming I get better), would I be better off with the computer science degree? Or would I be able to get a programming job with the engineering degree? I like the idea of the hardware side of the engineering degree, so I'm kind of confused right now.

Most of that attention is placed on the controversial teacher evaluations.
Superintendent John Deasy said only a portion of the evaluation would be student performance.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"A fraction of what we proposed of a total evaluation of an employee's performance, we believe, should include how students do over time," he said.
Teachers believe that student achievement is influenced more heavily by other fanctor than teachering performance. Language barriers and poor home support have more of an impact on a student's learning ability than the teacher. Teacher performance review based on student scores skews the results unfairly for teachers who are already put in difficult positions.
However, Deasy said the student performance will only be part of the evaluation and will be based on a long-term look at the student's performance. He also said his office is working with hundreds of teachers to produce a robust teaching evaluation.
"The idea is we want a system of multiple measures, as we should always have something with more than one data point," he said defining some of the points he hopes will be used on the evaluation. "A well-defined clinical observation; how parents and teachers feel they're experiencing education; how the teachers contribute to the environment of the school and learning; and how students do over time."

Well, I'll say this: if you are an adult collector of the TCW line, Hasbro would like to pretend that you do not exist. I just read another Q&A response from GH where they slapped down the Duchess Satine figure while going out of their way to point out that it's only kids that collect this line. Nevermind Satine has had quadruple the screen time of Shaak Ti and she has been involved in way more action sequences. "Kids won't buy her"As long as you keep repacking Anakin, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan in every wave, you should have plenty of wiggle room for non-iconic support characters. I get the economics and demographic angles. I understand I am part of a minority here. But it is not an insignificant minority. I literally buy every single thing they put out in this line, often purchasing multiples for opening. I am hasbro's frigging wet dream of a consumer. Not asking them to bend over backwards or anything, but some acknowledgement would be nice. I don't doubt that there are more adults buying the animated stuff than they suspect.
I don't doubt that there are more adults buying the animated stuff than they suspect.
it does suck for the adult collectors of the line
This probably belongs in a CW thread but Hasbro's answers this time around actually painted a picture of diminishing returns for collectors with that line. What I got from the QA was no Satine, no new Fives/Echo, no Master Di, very few new figures next year period.Doesn't make me, an adult collector and huge CW fan, very excited.
Not that I care about the animated figures but the CW mail away answer seemed to contradict itself. Nabar had to have a second run due to them not making enough, I even got a form and just received him 2 weeks ago. So it hardly seemed like a Frito Lay Spirit Obi-Wan promo. Sometime I choose to read between the lines and ignore their answers.It is possible Bric is failing but they limited themselves to only including the form to CW figures. No Saga Legends come with a form for him.
Quote from: Jesse James on November 23, 2010, 04:21 PMit does suck for the adult collectors of the lineYeah, that's all I'm sayin' really. I don't mean to imply that they're misguided, I'm just bemoaning the fact that the animated line does not seem to aspire to the level of engagement with the consumer that the TVC line does. (horses of a different color, I realize)I guess when you have a hot commodity that is primarily targeted to kids, and supported by current entertainment, you just don't have to try as hard in that regard. I get that though.
I've read through the Q&As and I must have missed it - was there an announcement about Bric?Should I be concerned that I haven't sent away for him yet?

that went down the wrong way!
Well it seems we've had our snow for the year, and what a day of now it was, I was half an hour late for work!!! HALF AN HOUR!?!?! I thought even a few flakes was supposed to completely cripple the rail networks over here?!? But no, I STILL managed to get to work. :/
Well at least it didn't snow on Wednesday 'cos I had the pleasure of crewing on an interview with none other than Dawson's Creek hearthrob himself... Joshua Jackson!! Well there were several girls/women that I mentioned it too who were more than a little excited at the prospect (even though they weren't the ones meeting him?!), including my girlfriend, for whom I was forced to forgo any sort of professionalism and get her Dawson's Creek soundtrack signed for her. Which she was incredibly pleased about and I felt like a right cunt.
He was very nice by the way. I was there allegedly to do sound, however they hired in kit for the shoot, including a load of sound gear I'd never used before, including an SQN2S (may be a 4S mini as it looked like the one in the pic, but I'm sure it said 2S on it) mixer, very snazzy, proffessional mixer, a lot better than the smaller MixPre's we have, however a shitload more knobs and switches and by the time we came to shoot, I wasn't confident that all these switches were set correctly as it didn't sound quite right, so we left the mixer and went straight into cam from the radio packs, thus Will on cam monitored and I did..well bugger all really.
Dissapointing, but I'd rather do that than fuck up the sound! Hopefully company's gonna sort out some training from where they hired from, and I suggested possibly getting them to make up a one-page PDF quickstart guide, something Google (or SQN as they didn't answer their damn phone) couldn't help me with on Weds. Anyone who knows the location of one, please do let me know :)
Currently working across two documentaries, one on mobile phones in learning environments, the other on whether school league tables are working or not. One of them offers the prospect of filming abroad, the other offers baffling academic statistics...
Either way, it's something slightly different and there's a load of filming coming up so hopefully I'll get out of the office a tad more, which is always nice :)
I'm getting a little behind posting my vague reviews to my review blog, so you may find two or three pop up in a session, I'll try and be a little more regular as I have started watching more films again (btw.. Hot Fuzz.. 14th Feb!!!!!!!)
Oh yeah and apparently, according to the optitian, I need to get some glasses for when I'm operating a VDU (sounds so 80's..."V.D.U.")...more expense, and I have a hard enough time finding sunglasses I don't look a complete cock in.

AMAZING TIP!1 comments Posted by Matt Grover at 12:37 pm
Get yourself a whiteboard, draw a line on it with PERMANENT marker (yes permanent).
Let it dry.
Now draw over it with a normal DRY WIPE marker
Now wipe both lines away.
NB you'll probably have to use some cleaner to properly clean your whitebaord, but at the end of the day I was pretty damn impressed with that here in the office!! :)

This thing is pretty incredible when I'm talking about such Dragon speech recognition software program life by taking a photo shot of my everyday life but I have two stumbling blocks that. One is really expensive camera that you need to learn to use again hopefully with the help of my niece who can be stubborn at times and the next is creating a schedule so how should I so I sent my camera with me at all times you know I look like one in little college kids walking around . Any writings that one of the other main things is that I have to force myself to speak more clearly or I will be writing this and printing out 1000 times the idea of the 365 day project is to document every day of your life through photography and photography corrections manually using the Dragon can be much easier when it comes to documenting stuff on the computer like no writing my book and stuff like that. Got to tell you I really like his dragonfly things pretty neat, I said that's all my beautiful wife Penelope was sitting behind me was here that I really liked drawing dragonfly program plus to see how well it's working..

The Wrath of Vog
(page 1 of 3)
It comes on the Kona winds—the dreaded yellow-brown haze of vog that makes eyes burn and lungs protest. On the Big Island, of course, it has done far more damage. How bad could it get? And what do we really know about vog and its effects?
Three-thousand, eight-hundred people lived on Miyakejima, a small island off Tokyo, until one day in September 2000, when the Japanese government ordered the island evacuated because of extreme volcanic activity. As directed, people delivered their pets to the port by 9:30 a.m., packed some belongings and a lunch and then boarded a city bus for the ship.
It was more than four years before they were allowed to return home.
The Island's volcano had started erupting three months earlier. A month before the evacuations, the volcano had started emitting toxic sulfur dioxide (SO2)—the stuff of vog, and, in the case of Miyakejima, of corroded metal roofs, collapsed homes and extensive damage to forests, wild birds, sea life and farms. By November, the volcano was giving off 70,000 tonnes of SO2 per day. (A tonne is a metric unit equal to 1,000 kilograms, 2,304.6 pounds or 1.1 English tons.)
Even after residents were cleared to return home four-and-a-half years later, it was only under controlled circumstances: Residents who chose to return needed a medical clearance, a "safe room" in their house and had to carry a gas mask at all times.
Now that's some serious vog.
Our Kilauea Volcano is currently tormenting the Big Island—and sometimes the other Hawaiian Islands—with what most residents consider really bad vog, but you might be surprised to read that it's nothing compared to Miyakejima. Kilauea has been emitting 2,000 to 3,000 tonnes per day of SO2 from its two active vents since late 2008. At its peak last summer, it was giving off about 7,000 to 8,000 tonnes per day—only a tenth of what Miyakejima was doing at its worst.
Even so, Kilauea's vog is driving just about everybody crazy, and has real health, environmental and economic impacts. Could it get worse? Could Kīlauea go Miyakejima on us? Could it get so bad that our government would force a mandatory evacuation?
Experts say the worst case scenario is possible, but unlikely. Short of that, vog is corroding our quality of life in some measurable ways. Here is a tally of what's been happening and how people are coping with it.
Where Vog is Born
Kilauea Volcano is the only Big Island volcano currently active. Its name means "spewing," or "much spreading," and probably refers to its lava flows. Its cinder-and-spatter cone, called Puu Oo, has been erupting almost continuously since 1983. Slowly and steadily, over the years it's wiped out a subdivision, almost the entire historic village of Kalapana, 202 structures, a visitor's center, part of a highway, archaeological sites and more.
In March of last year, a vent exploded at Halemaumau Crater at Kīlauea's summit, and there were more explosions there through October. These explosions produced sulfur dioxide gas emissions and ash reported as far away as Pahala (19 miles) and Ocean View (nearly 40 miles to the southwest).
Normally the trade winds, which blow from the northeast, send much of the SO2 from Puu Oo out to sea. The SO2 coming from Halemaumau, though, often lingers over downwind Kau communities, from Pahala to Ocean View. Both plumes eventually reach the west side of the island in a double-whammy that covers the Kona coast with a dense and almost constant haze of vog.
It's when the usual trade winds die down and winds blow from the south, or are variable, that vog covers East Hawaii and also impacts the other Hawaiian islands.
From the Hawaii Volcano Observatory:
Vog (volcanic smog) is a visible haze comprised of gas and an aerosol of tiny particles and acidic droplets, created when sulfur dioxide (SO2) and other gases emitted from Kilauea Volcano chemically interact with sunlight and atmospheric oxygen, moisture and dust. Near Kilauea's active vents, vog consists mostly of SO2 gas. Along the Kona coast on the west side of Hawaii Island and in other areas far from the volcano, vog is dominated by an aerosol of sulfuric acid and other sulfate compounds.
Margaret Barnaby, a Volcano-based artist who makes what she jokingly calls "vog-saturated" woodblock prints, closes up her house as soon as she notices bad air, she says, and "last summer we went out and bought gas masks. I know where mine is, sealed in a Ziploc bag so the filters stay clean, but I have yet to use it. We do drive places occasionally to get out of the stink. People seem more relaxed about it lately. I am, anyway."

The Viciedo Factor
You can make the case that the White Sox would have been better off, provided they won today's game, if Dayan Viciedo didn't single in his first at bat, slug a three-run homer in his second appearance and draw a walk the third time (which put him on base for Tyler Flowers' first career grand slam).
Now, all the pundits, internet geeks and talk show callers are going to be more vocal than ever that Viciedo should have been brought up weeks ago to compensate for the failures of Adam Dunn and Alex Rios.
As inviting as it might be, I'm going to resist the temptation to criticize. The fact is that he wasn't called up before and there's nothing we can do about it. I'm just going to look ahead and hope Viciedo, in that Hollywood ending I suggested in my last post, helps turn the tide.
On the heels of today's 9-3 victory and three-game sweep in Seattle, the Sox come home to face the Twins in an abbreviated three-game homestand. And by virtue of the Tigers' loss to Minny and the Indians defeat at the hands of the Royals, the Sox find themselves in second place, six games behind Detroit and a half-game ahead of Cleveland.
The Viciedo Era has begun.
Sox Note of Note: With all the talk about the barren Sox farm system, it's particularly comforting to see Viciedo and Flowers come through this afternoon. Although he hasn't been given as much credit as he deserves, Flowers has done a terrific job in place of A.J. Pierzynski, hitting .273 with a pair of homers and playing above average defense behind the plate. Let's hope the performance of these two youngsters are a sign of positive things to come.
