Changes may be on the horizon for three area post offices, but closure is not currently under consideration.
The post offices at Weston, Clayton and Sand Creek are under review for consolidation of operations, said Edward Moore, a United States Postal Service spokesperson out of the Detroit office, but the retail counters are expected to remain open.
Due to declining mail volume, delivery operations could be moved to other offices—for example, the Adrian office could handle Clayton delivery—but the office itself would remain open for counter sales, Moore said.
"Post offices are part of the community," Moore said, and efforts will be made to keep offices open when possible. "Currently there are no closures that we're planning for now."
During an initial wave of post office closures in 2009, most were in urban areas, but 491 closures last year also targeted many rural locations. Thousands of offices are under review now for changes in services.
"Across the country we're looking to streamline operations," Moore said.
At the same time, the goal is keep the inconvenience to customers to a minimum. Moore said communities will be notified of any changes before they go into effect.
Moore said the review process for some communities includes moving post office counter sales to an existing business in the town and closing the post office building.
A recent article in the Washington Post reported an $8.5 billion loss for the Postal Service in the 2010 fiscal year. First class mail peaked in 2006 at 150 billion pieces, but the volume had declined 20 percent by last year.
In addition to closing offices and consolidating services, the Postal Service is considering the elimination of Saturday mail delivery.
Cost savings through five-day delivery are in dispute. The Postal Service says the move would trim $3.1 billion annually; the Postal Regulatory Commission (an independent agency providing oversight) says the savings would be closer to $1.4 billion.
The National Newspaper Association is among many groups fighting the Saturday proposal because many papers have Saturday delivery, and eliminating a day would slow the delivery of all papers outside the local area.
Rather than trim services, some legislators are urging the Postal Service to change the structure of the agency and trim costs by reducing "overly generous employee benefits."
In addition to falling mail revenue and rising costs, the Postal Service faces an extra burden from a Congressional mandate requiring pre-funding of retiree benefits. Starting in 2007, the order added about $5 billion annually to the agency's budget.
The Postal Service is the only federal agency facing the order to pre-fund retirement.

Tasting note
- Appearance : Pale yellow
- Nose : Full-bodied, concentrated. Peat arrives head-on without the slightest hesitation. For the occasion, it is dressed in a most becoming saltiness, with a smoky, earthy minerality. Later, strong spices, peppers and white flowers (lily of the valley, lilac) take the stage. Later still, fresh fruit (apple, pears) gradually becomes deliciously stewed.
- Palate : Refined. Drawn in charcoal, its contours envelope blocks of dried peat and showcase notes of ash, acacia honey, cinnamon, clove, pepper, cardamom, liquorice, fresh, oily walnuts, and rosemary. It becomes gradually more voluptuous (vanilla, dates, figs), emanating a rare freedom of expression, full of suggestion.
- Overall : Balanced, silky. A perfect synthesis of the nose and the palate, it oscillates between power and softness, peat and fruit. Long-lasting, it unveils a melting pot of salty, sweet, bitter and sour flavours. It reaches its apogee with notes of liquorice, exotic fruit (banana) and slightly damp earth. The retro-nasal olfaction echoes the malted barley, while the empty glass offers saffron.
- The brand
The brand
Ardmore is an ambiguous distillery. On the border between Speyside and the eastern Highlands, Ardmore was established in 1897, just one year before the Pattison brothers went bankrupt. Its whisky has a character which could be mistaken for an island whisky rather than a mainland. Interestingly, between 1817 and 1835, another distillery of the same name operated on the Isle of Islay before merging with Lagavulin. This colourful heritage extends deep into its DNA. Discovered thanks to its independent bottlings, Ardmore has, for several years, released its own 12 year old "house".
This independent bottler is without a doubt one of the most highly acclaimed in Scotland. It stands out, not for its age (though it is the oldest independent bottler in Scotland), but for its complete mastery of cask ageing. Gordon & MacPhail is the only bottler to have its own casks - carefully chosen for the purpose - filled by the distilleries themselves, instead of simply buying the ones suggested to them by the latter. This allows it to determine, in advance and with great precision, exactly how many years a whisky will need to reach ideal maturation.
The line
A new Gordon & MacPhail range, Exclusive was created to bring together a small number of blends, bottled without dilution from single casks, and intended to be sold exclusively through Gordon & MacPhail's shop in Elgin. La Maison du Whisky was lucky enough to have access to some of these rare, highly-prized bottlings, including the very first release of a 1984 Caol Ila to available outside of Scotland.

Illya (Illyasviel von Einzbern) is a typical young girl attending Homurabara Academy who just happens to have a slight crush on her brother-in-law. Then, one night, a magic wand called Magical Ruby falls from the sky into her bath and tricks her into signing a contract...

hoho CR, I think you forgot to put LATAM, honest mistake...
Interstellar Hunter
Damn... So much shows to watch, so little time. >;
Still not LATAM Showgate, really?
Why each time a blocked show in our region appear mostly of the following announced shows are blocked too? The same happens all seasons! T_T
Leorosado15 wrote: Still not LATAM Showgate, really?
If I recall correctly, the Showgate published series that did not include Latin America last season were Sentai pick-ups, so it might be Sentai's licensing strategy to blame rather than Showgate.
akai_ryu wrote:

Because Crunchyroll normally starts with their direct licenses, and then the licenses shared with home video distributors (whether they are sublicenses or parallel licenses is not always clear). Most of the shared licenses are with Sentai, and since so far the titles that Sentai has picked up have normally not included Latin America ~ at least not yet ~ so when the shared licenses start getting announced, the Latin American region announcements drop way off.

Agreed, not much to get excited about so far. I was hoping for a lot more variety.
Oh man. It'd be funny to see some culture shock in this.
mmm so South America and not Mexico? or does it includes Mexico?

There�s something noticeably different about East Carolina receiver Danny Webster.
There�s something noticeably different about East Carolina receiver Danny Webster.
The Havelock native played through his sophomore season with a knee brace following ACL surgery in 2011.
The brace is now gone, and Webster is looking forward to having a big season.
"Last year, I was giving it all I had, but it wasn�t anywhere near to what I have now," said Webster, who caught 34 passes for 322 yards and five touchdowns last year. "I�m excited to get the knee brace off and be back on the field at 100 percent."
Webster is expected to start at inside receiver for the Pirates this upcoming season.
Lincoln Riley, ECU�s offensive coordinator, said Webster had the best spring practices of any of the receivers. The former Ram quarterback caught eight passes for 93 yards in ECU�s Purple-Gold Spring Game in April.
"We have pretty high expectations for him," Riley said. "He�s come a long way physically and being consistent.
"He is a big part in what we are doing, and he is working at a level that he never has before. He needs to keep it up."
Webster said his role on the team is to "cash in" every time the ball is thrown in his direction.
"That�s every receiver�s role on this team," Webster said. "I want to help block for the running backs and make a play when the ball is thrown my way."
Webster is also listed on the team depth chart as the second punt returner and the third kickoff returner.
ECU opens against Old Dominion on Aug. 31.

Morrisonia TonePrint by Billy Morrison
A long delay with a little less saturation, than a tape type delay would usually have. That way the delay keeps the top end throughout the entire feedback making it ideal for screeching full riffs.

Other TonePrints by Billy Morrison
TC: Who inspired you over the years when you were creating your own personal guitar tone? Billy: The first 'tone' that hit me square between the eyes was the sound of the Sex Pistols guitarist, Steve Jones. Very mid heavy and layered thick, Never Mind The Bollocks roared off the turntable at me. It's been the go-to reference point for me ever since. I've always been inspired by players who have a unique, individual tone - the guys who you could just tell it was them when you heard a song. Billy Duffy from The Cult has that unique sound of his - Matchless Amp, Gretsch guitar and a nice chorus, Angus Young is another favorite of mine.....you can tell AC/DC from a mile away. I'm a rhythm guitarist and the sounds and tones that really get me off are thick, weighty rhythm chords filling out a huge chorus.
TC: What are the main ingredients in your tone in terms of effects? Billy: The main effects that get added are chorus (just to swirl it up a bit and thicken it out in sections) and vibrato or tremolo (more in clean sections - I'm a big fan of the tremolo pedal). On last years Billy Idol tour, I found myself using delays a lot as well - tempo specific ones that created some great single string sounds. And reverb on anything involving an acoustic guitar.
TC: Have you ever been so inspired by a tone you created that you ended up writing a tune based on that specific tone? Billy: Nearly every time I get a new sound or tone happening that's 'right', I end up writing something or incorporating it into something new. To me, the sign of an effect pedal or tone that is dialed in perfectly is that it just makes you play better, it makes you play riffs that weren't there before. Delays especially make me start riffing around the repeats and inspire me to write.
TC: Do you work on developing your tone continuously, or do you feel that you have found a fundamental tone that will last throughout your career? Billy: I come from the school of 'Les Paul/Marshall' - quite simply, I plug a Gibson Les Paul into my Marshall amps, and that's it. Any effects that I add to it are on the top, icing on the cake if you like. So as far as developing my tone, I'm not sure there's a lot left to 'dial'. I've learnt that 90% of how it sounds is in your fingers. I have watched Slash, Steve Stevens, Steve Jones and Billy Duffy all, on separate occasions, walk onstage with Camp Freddy.....grab one of my Les Pauls, plug it into a rental Marshall, and make it sound exactly like each of them. That shows me that it's primarily to do with WHO is playing the guitar and not WHAT it's plugged into!! How hard you dig in, your vibrato style, the way the pick hits the strings...... THAT's where the kind of tone I like comes from. Having said that, effects are always great and necessary additions and I will always continue to tweak, adjust and play with FX.
TC: With regards to effects, do you normally prefer having access to many parameters, or do you like simple pedals with just a few knobs better? Billy: In a live environment, the less parameters the better. In fact, an 'ON' switch is all I want to see onstage! But in the studio, I love to have as many parameters as possible to hand. The sound that I hear in my head is usually pretty specific and I like to be able to reach it without compromise.
TC: How come you signed up for creating your own personal TonePrint(s)? Billy: I've always been a fan of TC Electronic and when I got the email asking me if I would like to take part, I was honored. Like I've said, I am a rhythm guitarist and it's usually the lead guys that do this stuff - all the shredders!! So of course I was happy to get involved.
TC: In your opinion, what is the single coolest thing about TonePrints? Billy: Being able to use computers to share tones is insane! If you think about it, being able to go online and browse through loads of sound files, and then download one into your own pedal and take it to the gig that night and use it...... that's fucking Matrix shit right there! From my point of view - being able to sit with the software and slowly dial a bunch of parameters in and reaching exactly what is in my head - and then storing it in a stompbox, is a guitarists dream. Its cool new technology and I'm a big fan.Read more about Billy Morrison

Obama signs ski area legislation
Ski areas in California received good news this past week from the U.S. Forest Service, with the promise of up to 600 new jobs.
The Ski Area Recreational Opportunity Enhancement Act of 2011, which was signed by President Barack Obama on Nov. 7, is estimated to create and annually sustain up to 600 extra jobs nationwide.
"This is very good news for us," said Mammoth Mountain Ski Area spokesperson Joani Lynch.
She was not alone in her enthusiasm.
"This is great news for promoting job growth and economic stimulus in California," said Regional Forester Randy Moore.
"Local restaurants, hotels and shop owners are likely to see an increase in business as visitors come to scenic Forest Service locations for year-round activities."
In California, there are 25 ski areas on 11 national forests.
The new legislation amends the National Forest Ski Area Permit Act of 1986, which allowed only Nordic and alpine skiing. Under the new legislation, other snow sports may be permitted on National Forest System lands, as well as year-round activities. Potential permitted activities may include zip lines, mountain bike terrain parks and trails, Frisbee golf courses, and ropes courses.
"National forests will now be able to provide even more economic benefits to some hard-hit mountain communities," said Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell. "Our national forests are America's gems. Now more visitors will have so many more recreational opportunities on these beautiful lands in California."
Nationwide, it is estimated that roughly 600,000 more summertime visits may create and sustain annually up to 600 more full-, part-time and seasonal jobs nationwide. This addition of summer recreation is expected to infuse almost $40 million of direct funding into mountain communities near ski areas.
Currently, the Forest Service averages 27 million visits annually to ski areas, which has in turn contributed $4 billion every year, and 80,000 jobs in rural communities.
Protecting natural resources on the Forest Service's 122 ski areas will remain a priority and year-long facilities will be subject to the same review and approval processes as those for ski facilities such as the construction of ski lifts and ski trails.
Not all recreation activities will be permitted. Those considered to be destructive to the natural environment will be excluded, including tennis courts, water slides and water parks, swimming pools, golf courses, and amusement parks.

(Phoenicoparrus andinus)
Facts about this animal
The Andean flamingo has a total length of about 110 cm. The plumage is maninly white with a pink tinge. the throat and the chest are often veined with pink, and the wing coverts are rosy vermilion. The flight feathers are black and quite conspicuous even when the wings are folded. The big, curved bill is largely black with a ivory-coloured basal area. The eyes are dark red-brown. It's the only flamingo with yellow legs, and they have no hind toe. The sexes are very similar in appearance.
Did you know?
that the Andean flamingo is the only flamingo species with yellow legs? The closely related James' flamingo has red legs, in most other species they are greyish pink.

|Has the most restricted range of all flamingos. It is found usually in salt lakes above 2500 m in the Andes, from southern Peru to north-central Chile, western Bolivia and north-west Argentina.
|Wild population
|Population assessments are difficult and vary greatly, but 50,000-100,000 individuals may have been realistic until the mid-1980s. The 34,000 estimated in 1997, suggests that it declined rapidly during the preceding 10-15 years. Breeding success appears to be consistently low, and thus declines may continue for many years, because flamingos have a high longevity (20-50 years).
|Zoo population

Why do zoos keep this animal
The Andean flamingo is only rarely kept by zoos and if so, either for educational purposes, e.g. for demonstrating speciation within the flamingo family, or for scientific interest. As a matter of principle, flamingos are also excellent ambassador species for wetland conservation but this role could as well be taken on by the more common Chilean flamingo..

Review: Vidyo Video-Conferencing
Posted by
Phil Hippensteel
March 10, 2010
Vidyo provides a family of video-conferencing products that are designed to use the Internet rather than a private WAN to connect video-conferencing systems. Vidyo's product line includes a room system, VidyoRoom, as well as a PC client, gateway-to-SIP and H.323 devices, as well as a friendly administrative system. Vidyo uses off-the-shelf cameras and microphones that you can purchase anywhere. We tested VidyoRoom and several PC clients at Hippensteel Labs.
Vidyo competes with major vendors such as Cisco and Polycom. While Vidyo makes products for businesses of all sizes, we think it is most appropriate for companies with congested or overworked WANs. For large installations, the company recommends you run its compression engine, the VidyoRouter, and its administrative software on separate servers. The VidyoRouter and administration software are available on a single appliance for smaller installations.
Vidyo builds on the H.264 SVC standard. Unlike competitors such as Polycom, Tandberg and others that use H.264 AVC, Vidyo chose SVC because it was developed specifically to allow for transport networks such as the Internet that might introduce variable conditions, including jitter and packet loss.
To address variable conditions, Vidyo divides the video stream into three sub-streams: base, level one and level two. The base stream contains enough information to provide a low-resolution image at a low frame rate. The other two streams refine that image into the desired output, such as 720p HD to produce an excellent picture. All three streams are delivered when network conditions are good. If network conditions deteriorate, the system reduces delivery of the level-two stream, and if necessary, the level-one stream. This adjustment takes place in a few hundred milliseconds, so users rarely notice the change. Since most network deterioration is short-lived, the lower resolution is likewise temporary and good picture quality is quick to return.
We connected the VidyoRoom system with an HD camera to five PCs of varying capabilities. One PC used Wifi. Then we used a PacketStorm emulator to introduce various levels of network impairments to simulate the unpredictable conditions of the Internet. The Vidyo system worked so well that several technicians involved in the test didn't realize that impairments had been introduced. A summary of some of our results is shown in Table 1. There was no noticeable degradation in output at the end points at either one percent or three percent packet loss. We believe this simulation would account for a very high percentage of the Internet connections your users might experience.
For day-to-day business conferences, Vidyo's system is functional, well designed and cost effective.
The system shows its best capability in highly heterogeneous and hybrid wired and wireless environments.
It supports a variety of end-points, from desktops to laptops to mobile devices.
Other video-conferencing systems we've tested show acceptable output at the same levels of packet loss, but their desktop clients suffer from increased processing strain. As a result, the video suffers from delay. By contrast, with Vidyo, we introduced high levels of jitter (up to 30 ms) and the quality of the sound and video didn't appear to deteriorate. In our experience, jitter is the nemesis of competing video-conferencing systems; even 10 ms. of jitter causes some systems to seriously degrade.
If you're looking for a video-conferencing system to impress executives or business partners, Vidyo may not be for you, as it uses off-the-shelf components while competitors offer high-end, wrap-around screens and sophisticated microphone systems. However, for day-to-day business communication, Vidyo is functional, well-designed and cost-effective.

|Vidyo endpoints performed well even as we introduced packet loss and jitter. Jitter often trips up other video-conferencing systems, but even with high levels of jitter we noticed very little degradation of picture and sound quality. Excellent quality means no noticeable distortion. Very good means slight distortion.
Vidyo is ideal for organizations with users that have a variety of end-points, from desktop PCs to laptops, netbooks and even mobile devices. In addition, the system is a good fit for companies that run a hybrid wired/wireless environment. Vidyo offers a starter package for $7,000. It includes all of the infrastructure and perpetually licensed software necessary to deploy desktop video-conferencing to 75 administered users and the ability to host up to five concurrent multi-point connections. For larger organizations, pricing is negotiable. (Phil Hippensteel is an assistant professor of information systems at Penn State and an industry consultant.)

Award of Czamanski Dissertation Award in 2015
by David Boyce, Kieran Donaghy and Rachel Franklin
In mid-October, 2015, our committee met by telephone to recommend the winner of the 2015 award of the Czamanski Dissertation Award for the best Ph.D. dissertation proposal approved during the period July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015. The six candidates for this award were the following:
Steven R. Gehrke, PortlandStateUniversity, Portland, Oregon, USA
Sarah Howe, RMIT University, Victoria, Australia
Victor Iturra Rivera, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA
Dávid Krisztián Nagy, PrincetonUniversity, Princeton, New Jersey, USA
Natalya Rybnikova, University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel
Samuel Stehle, PennStateUniversity, University Park, Pennsylvania, USA
One other candidate by Xize Wang, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, USA, was submitted early for the 2016 competition. He was asked to resubmit his documents in June 2016. Finally, one additional candidate, Hyun Kim, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin, USA, was submitted on September 30, 2015. This submission was not judged in the 2015 competition.
In reviewing the six submissions, the following statement was carefully considered:
"Professor Czamanski's research exemplified the analysis of social problems with regional and spatial dimensions. In doing so, he chose judiciously the right combination of analytical and empirical research methods from his tool box to address the specific issue at hand. Many of his papers illustrated how particular combinations of methods could be used most aptly to study particular problems."
In our review, we agreed unanimously that the proposal of Steven Gehrke best represented the approach of Professor Czamanski. Gehrke's proposal was entitled "Active Travel Behavior and Spatial-temporalLand Use Mixing." The letter by Professor Kelly Clifton was helpful in reaching this conclusion.
Czamanski Dissertation Award
The Czamanski Dissertation Award is awarded by the Regional Science Association International in memory of Professor Stan Czamanski, an early recipient of a Ph.D. in regional science (1963), a member of the University of Pennsylvania regional science faculty (1963-1966), a member of the regional science faculty of Cornell University (1966-1988), and a past-president of the Regional Science Association (1975-1976).
The annual prize is awarded to author of the best Ph.D. dissertation proposal judged to exemplify the philosophy and approach of Professor Czamanski, as described below.
- The US$1,000 prize is awarded to the student and a plaque to the student's advisor.
- The selection will be made by a panel of three persons: a senior and long-standing member of the regional science community, a representative of the field of Regional Science at Cornell and a member of the RSAI Council.
- Students writing dissertations on problems in regional science from around the world are invited to enter the competition, in the spirit of Stan's all-embracing philosophy.
To be eligible, the dissertation proposal must have been defended and approved during the past 12 months.
Each applicant will submit the following:
- A statement in six pages or less that clearly sets out the research question(s) and issues to be addressed, approach to be used, and product expected from the dissertation research. The six-page limit is exclusive of references, tables and figures. This text and references should be in 12 point or larger font and single-spaced. In addition, a summary (maximum one page) describing the intellectual merit of the proposed research and why the proposed approach may be regarded as implementing Professor Czamanski's philosophy and approach, as described below.
- A curriculum vita of no more than two pages.
- Copies of the candidate's transcripts for all graduate study. Unofficial copies are acceptable.
- A separate, confidential letter from the dissertation supervisor assessing the quality and significance of the proposed dissertation research.
Philosophy and Research Approach of Professor Stan Czamanski
In his Introduction to Regional Science (Prentice-Hall, 1975, p. 2), Walter Isard wrote:
"In brief, regional science as a discipline concerns the careful and patient study of social problems with regional or spatial dimensions, employing diverse combinations of analytical and empirical research."
Professor Czamanski's research exemplified the analysis of social and economic problems with regional and spatial dimensions. In doing so, he chose judiciously the right combination of analytical and empirical research methods from his tool box to address the specific issue at hand.
Dissertation proposals submitted for the Czamanski Dissertation Award will be judged with regard to how the student proposes to bring an appropriate combination of analytical and empirical methods to bear on a social and economic problem with spatial or regional dimensions, and how this combination of methods is expected to deliver greater insights into the problem in question.

Hey everyone,
I hope someone can help me figure this one out!
I'm trying to take the live feed I have from our ip camera (a .av file, whatever format that is) and buffer it onto a server to be streamed. So far ive written a c# app that downloads the stream from the ipcamera and stores it in a folder. The video viewer then accesses that file on the server to view the feed.
The problem is, I can't seem to get my head around this stream. The ip camera feed is like an endless file thats constantly being written. When I access it via a browser it comes up as a download with an unknown filesize and just keeps downloading forever. This works well because if I setup the viewer to view the endless feed it streams perfectly, however if I use my buffered feed it stops and starts because it sees an end to the file each time.
In short, my question is: How can I make the buffered file an endless feed with no specified filesize rather than a file of Xmb that gets gradually bigger?
EDIT: For reference here is the ip camera feed I was refering to, try to download it and see what I mean - http://ycam3.dtdns.net:8151/stream.av (username/password: guest/guest)

Rokita Announces Online and Toll-Free Hotline Resources for Voters
Contact: AJ Freeney-Ruiz
Indianapolis, IN - Today, Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita announced a website to answer voter questions on Election Day and a toll-free phone line for Hoosiers to report cases of election fraud and accessibility problems during the Primary Election. Both resources are intended to assist Indiana voters on Election Day and maintain the integrity of the state's electoral process.
The "2006 Primary Election HQ" can be accessed via Rokita's official website found at www.sos.IN.gov, and is part of Rokita's ongoing e-Services efforts to incorporate technology into initiatives and duties undertaken by the Secretary of State's office. Rokita also set up a hotline for Hoosiers believing they have observed some form of election fraud and for use by elderly and disabled voters who feel their polling place is not fully accessible.
"Our 'Election Headquarters' website provides a variety of Election Day resources for Indiana voters," Rokita said. "By accessing the site, Hoosiers can find out where they are supposed to vote, provide easy to understand answers on the new Voter ID law, and even provide videos on how to use the new electronic voting systems found throughout the state." The site also allows voters to submit questions directly to Secretary of State staff members on Election Day.
Voters are also encouraged to use a new hotline to report voter fraud any physical obstacles to voting to address issues prior to the November General Election. The toll-free number is 866-IN1-VOTE (866-461-8683). Secretary of State staff will be on hand to answer the calls from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM EDT on Election Day.
"My office set up this toll-free number to assist Hoosier voters and help protect the integrity of Indiana elections," Rokita said. "It is crucial to report any election fraud to ensure a fair and honest election. We also want to know voters are able to cast their ballot independently and in private, and encourage them to call and let us know if a polling place is not fully accessible and impedes this goal."
The Secretary of State's Office has been working with counties to make changes and upgrade polling places in time for the Primary Election as required by federal and state laws. Federal law requires at least one voting machine accessible to a voter with a wide range of disabilities be placed in each polling place and be used independent of any outside assistance. The Secretary of State's Office distributed more than $30million in federal and state funds to counties in order to meet this requirement. Polling facilities must also be fully physically accessible.

Building a Beautiful Toolbox
The time has come to outfit myself with the proper tools for (very casual, renter-style) home repair. Though my handy cordless drill could never be considered pretty, I'm determined to find tools that are well-crafted, long-lasting and lovely to behold.
- I always keep a tape measure in my bag, along with a notebook containing all key household measurements (window height, bedroom floor space) but the tacky bulky one I got at the dollar store was weighing me down. Just as I was getting annoyed with it, my friend presented me with this gorgeous, lightweight one from Arkay Workshop on 24th Street in San Francisco.
- There are similarly lovely rosewood measuring tapes available through Spartan.
- I received these Japanese Kershaw kitchen scissors for Christmas last year, and have used them every day since to prune plants, cut herbs and pizzas, trim flowers and branches, and soooo much more.
- For more conventional scissor usage, this stainless steel pair from Canoe is surgical-precise and elegant.
- I've long coveted this British, beech, 6-in-1 screwdriver set from Gravel & Gold. Time to start saving up for it!
- This Saboten trowel from Flora Grubb in San Francisco is sharp and lightweight, and stylish to display along with my houseplants. I couldn't find an online source, but they are in-stock at Flora Grubb for $8.99 and $9.99.
- If only I had the need and the budget for one of the gorgeous axes from Best Made Company in New York. You can even buy an ax sling, for crying out loud.
- The only thing missing from my list is a nice hammer, but I couldn't seem to find any pretty, well-made examples. Of course, I don't really know very much about hammers...any advice? Any crucial tools I'm forgetting?

Whisper of the Heart (US - BD)
Gabe gets to experience this particular Ghibli classic for the first time in 1080p...
Shizuku ( Yoko Honna in Japanese, Brittany Snow in English) lives a simple life where she is allowed to pursue her love for stories and writing. One day she notices that all the library books she's has checked out have been previously checked out by someone named Seiji Amasawa (Issei Takahashi in Japanese, David Gallagher in English). Days later, Shizuku meets a aspiring violin maker her age whom she finds infuriating, and slowly discovers that he is Seiji, her 'Prince of Books'. Seiji convinces Shizuku that her strength lies in writing, and pushes her to her talents by writing a story about 'Baron', a handsome cat statuette that belongs to Seiji's grandfather.
Confession: for some time now I've owned a Hong Kong released box set of all of the Studio Ghibli films up to Spirited Away, including Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (not technically a Ghibli release), and I still haven't found my way to watching almost half the films found within. I don't have a good reason, it just seems that whenever I take the time to finally watch Only Yesterday or Ocean Waves I wind up rewatching My Neighbor Totoro or Spirited Away again. And again. Like a petulant child. Thanks to Disney's slow trickle of Ghibli classics on Blu-ray (really, really slow) I'm finally forced to not revisit Porco Rosso again, and finally see Yoshifumi Kondo's Whisper of the Heart. I'm greeted with a rich, complex film that mixes Miyazaki's adventurous and magical themes with ever-popular high school drama tropes. Whisper of the Heart reminds me a lot of My Neighbor Totoro, though its a more mature and 'realistic approach to the material. The characters are aged up considerably, the pacing is slowed, and the overall sense of angst is increased. I admit the high school elements tried my patience a bit, specifically pace stifling sequences where Shizuku and her schoolmates reiterate plot points, or when the film sidetracks into supporting cast romantic issues. There's a bit too much talking in general here, especially given Kondo's talent for telling his story entirely in images. Still, I can't deny the quality of the strong characterizations, or claim that the slow first half doesn't pay off in spades as the canvas widens to include more fantastical events.
The film really comes together around the 50 minute mark when Shizuku and Seiji put aside their awkwardness and join is song, playing John Denver's 'Take Me Home, Country Roads Together', which is a kind of ongoing theme for the entire film. It's a transformative, chill-inducing moment that captures the ingrained, tribal joy of creating group music. It's a clever and efficient means to create a connection between characters without unearned sentimentality. From here the fantasy world elements begin to briefly infiltrate the real world as Shizuku is compelled to write her story, and they play out with the same sense of jaw-dropping awe we've come to expect from Miyazaki's directed features. Watching this unfold, I can't help but assume Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh took some inspiration from Kondo while making Heavenly Creatures. Though I hadn't yet seen Whisper of the Heart, I discovered I was plenty familiar with Kondo's work. Before his sudden and untimely death in 1998 (via an aneurysm, which was blamed on his stress-inducing work ethic), Kondo worked as a key animator, character designer, and/or animation director on a number of influential films, including Lupin III, Little Nemo, Grave of the Fireflies and Kiki's Delivery Service. His direction here is simple and direct, utilizing natural angles, and otherwise generally treating the film as he would a live action affair. The animation varies in quality a bit throughout. It's pretty obvious that the less fantastical and detailed sequences were handed off to B and C animation teams. When it really counts, there's no mistaking Whisper of the Heart wears the studio's quality stamp gloriously, but every so often frame rates dip, movement is oddly restricted, and characters turn a bit blobby.
Whisper of the Heart isn't a particularly ancient Ghibli catalogue release (it was released in 1995), so the overall quality of the 1080p, 1.85:1 transfer comes as little surprise. There's definitely a bit more grain here than appears on more recent animated releases, but nothing outside of the norm for an animated film made without the help of digital colouring techniques. I noticed some light distortion effects on some of the sharper black pen edges, but very little in the way of edge enhancement or jaggies, and actual signs of print damage are reserved to a handful of jerky reel changes and minor flecks of dirt. Colour quality is rich, and generally much brighter than my anamorphic HK disc (which is likely not as good a quality indicator as the original US DVD release). The painted backgrounds, which feature the more obvious increase in fine detail (especially the more intricately decorated fantasy realms), are mostly clean, without much in the way of noticeable digital noise, and feature sharp contrasting elements. The cell animation itself shows more sign of wear. The colours are still quite vibrant, but feature more impurities, including some minor blocking effects. The detail increase doesn't do the cells any favours either, revealing dirt and the always odd cell shadows, but these are the charms of the process.
Having clearly learned their lesson after years of fan complaints, Disney is now certain to include both their English dub and the original Japanese dub in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround. This isn't one of Disney's better English dubs, so I tended to prefer the sound of the original dialogue (not to mention the performances), but in terms of overall sound design the two tracks are close to identical. For the record, the back of the box signifies that the English track is 48 kHz/24-bit, but doesn't list the kHz or bit rates of the Japanese track, which leads me to assume the Japanese track is a bit compressed, but my ears didn't catch anything obvious outside of basic difference in the age and nature of the two mixes. Also for the record, this was the first Japanese film to be mixed and released using the Dolby Digital sound format. The vocals on the English track are a bit warmer and louder, creating a slightly more natural effect, but the Japanese track is rarely too tinny or canned-sounding. Sound effects are comparatively minimalist overall and follow the same basic pattern. The English track puts more emphasis on the ambient effects, like rain and cicada chirps, but in terms of directional enhancements things remain basically the same between tracks. The Japanese track handles Yuji Nomi's music a bit better, specifically Olivia Newton John's take on 'Take Me Home, Country Roads', which opens the film. The English track's tendency to stretch the sound a bit wider over the stereo channels creates some awkward reverb effects. It's arguable that the English track features the warmer bass fidelity, but the clearer approach worked better for me.
The extras begin with the now traditional original storyboards, which run the length of the film, and are presented in full HD video and 2.0 English dub audio. The featurettes include Behind the Microphone (8:00, SD), an interview with English cast members Brittany Snow, Courtney Thorne-Smith, David Gallagher, Martin Spanjers, Jean Smart, Harold Gould, Ashley Tisdale and Cary Elwes, producer Ned Lot, and English language director Rick Dempsey, and Four Masterpieces of Naohisa Inoue (34:50, HD), a series of the master's background paintings set time-lapse to Yuji Nomi's musical score. Things are completed with a Japanese trailer/TV spot reel (10:50, SD), and trailers for other Disney releases.
Deliberate pacing makes for a bit of a demanding film experience, but the effect ends up somewhere just south of brilliant. I thoroughly regret not getting myself together to watch Whisper of the Heart sooner, especially since I've had a copy sitting in my house for several years now. I'm sufficiently inspired to take some time for Only Yesterday, Ocean Waves and The Cat Returns sometime in my near future. This Disney Blu-ray release is just about everything fans could want in terms of audio and video quality, save perhaps a few minor signs of digital compression, but extras are stark and largely Disney release-centric.

7/10 for a film "just south of brilliant"? Sounds like the 9/10 rating this masterpiece deserves to me. I highly recommend that you watch Ocean Waves and Only Yesterday as soon as you have the time. Especially Ocean Waves, which will remind you a lot of this film. I can't say I care that much for The Cat Returns, which has never been among my favorites. (Grave of the Fireflies, Kiki's Delivery Service, Whisper of the Heart, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle)

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - Bond was set for 19-year-old Damon White on Friday, accused of stealing $10,000 worth of merchandise from the Colerain Wal-mart.
Over an eight-month period, the Pleasant City man is accused of taking mostly electronic merchandise, including iPhone 5, computers, lap-tops, and video game consoles.
Court documents show that White admitted the help of three former employees, and one current employee of Wal-mart.
White also admitted to selling the items to a pawn shop on Hamilton Avenue.

Outfielder Michael Morse, who finished the season hitless in his last 10 games with the Orioles, will undergo surgery Wednesday to fix a bone outgrowth in his left wrist, according to an industry source.
Dr. Richard Berger of the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota will perform the arthroscopic surgery, which will shave the bone. The source said Morse should be able to begin using the wrist again in four weeks and should be back to baseball activities in six to eight weeks, so the pending free agent should be a full go by the start of spring training.
Doctors estimated that the outgrowth of the capitate bone that runs down through the hand was caused by trauma and probably occurred sometime in May, which likely affected his power and extension during his swing.
Morse, 31, had hit 11 homers and had 21 RBIs through May, but he hit just two more home runs and compiled a .165 average after June 1.
Acquired from the Seattle Mariners for minor leaguer Xavier Avery at the end of August, Morse began his Orioles career 3-for-7 in his first two games in September. He didn't pick up a hit again for the rest of the season, going 0-for-22.
A career .281 hitter, he batted a combined .215 with 13 homers and 27 RBIs this season with the Mariners and Orioles. He didn't have an RBI or homer for the Orioles.

Medical laboratory technologists and lab technicians collect samples and perform tests to analyze body fluids, tissue, and other substances. An entry-level job for lab technologists usually requires a bachelors degree in medical technology or life sciences. Medical lab technicians (lab techs), on the other hand, need only an accredited associate's degree program in clinical laboratory science. Coursework emphasizes laboratory skills, including safety procedures and lab management.
Medical laboratory technologists and technicians can obtain a general certification or a certification in a specialty, such as cytotechnology or medical biology. For credentialing information, visit the American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science. Employment of medical lab techs is projected to grow 16% in the coming years. An increase in the aging population is expected to lead to a greater need to diagnose medical conditions, such as cancer or type II diabetes. Average salary for medical and clinical laboratory technologists and technicians was $50,550 in May 2017, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Beyond degree major requirements, you may consider SUNY College changing majors as a complementary elective.

Milliard arraigned on new charges
RIDGWAY - New charges, including multiple drug offenses and illegal possession of firearms, have been filed against Francis Anthony Milliard, 54, of Ridgway, currently incarcerated on arson and related charges in connection with two residential fires in Elk County, as well as charges of attempted murder and assault stemming from Milliard's alleged beating of a Ridgway man. Milliard was arraigned on the new charges in a closed courtroom following the conclusion of his preliminary hearing Wednesday in which District Judge George A. "Tony" King upheld those charges against Milliard in three separate cases surrounding a Dec. 8, 2008 arson at 115 First Ave. in Johnsonburg, a May 30, 2012 arson at 521 West Main St. in Ridgway, and the June 23, 2011 assault of Todd Asti, 44, of Ridgway, over an alleged drug debt.Among the new charges levied against Milliard are two counts of person(s) not to possess/use/manufacture, control, sell, or transfer firearms, a felony of the second degree. The charge comes in the wake of law enforcement officials executing a search warrant at Milliard's 76 Long Level Rd. home on Aug. 10, during which firearms as well as approximately 1,135 rounds of assorted ammunition were seized. According to the affidavit, the firearms seized included a Beretta Tomcat 32 automatic pistol and a Stevens Model 820 B Shotgun. The affidavit goes on to state that a criminal history check showed Milliard to be a convicted felon with previous convictions for burglary and CSDDCA violations, offenses which prohibit him from possessing firearms in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Milliard has also been charged with violations of the Drug, Device, and Cosmetics Act following the discovery of a marijuana plant growing on his property, as well as large quantities of packaged marijuana and assorted paraphernalia in his home.

Five people were being treated at Clinton Hospital after the hot air balloon they were in hit electrical wires as its pilot tried to land in a yard at the corner of Brook and Greeley streets around 8 p.m. on Saturday.
Police Sgt. Michael Welch said calls about a low balloon started to come into the station about 7:50 p.m. Saturday. At 8 p.m., callers started to report the balloon had hit wires.
Five of six people in the balloon have varying degrees of burns, ranging from minor to serious, according to Firefighter Pat Parker.
The crash knocked power out for a large portion of town, including parts of High and Main streets. Some power has been restored, but National Grid crews could be on the scene until the early morning hours, Welch said.
Brook Street, from Washington Street through at least Greeley Street, will remain closed while crews are working, Welch said.
The crash is under investigation with the FAA now involved.
On Sunday, a company with a truck labeled Damn Yankee Balloons, of Dixfield, Maine, carted off the balloon basket.

Thursday January 26, 2012
Amanda Holden has given birth to a baby girl - but the actress has spent three days in a "critical condition".
Alison Griffin, spokeswoman for Amanda, 40, and her husband, Chris Hughes, said the star is expected to make a full recovery.
Ms Griffin said: "Hollie Rose Hughes was born on 23 January 2012. She is healthy and weighed in at 6.1lb but Amanda has been in a critical condition for the past three days."
She was unable to give any further details about Amanda's medical condition at present. "Until Amanda is in a position to indicate what she wants to say, there's no more information I can give", she said.
Amanda, who was forced to pull out of BGT auditions earlier this week, already has a daughter, Lexi. Complications during that pregnancy, with a low lying placenta, meant Amanda gave birth by Caesarean section.

I installed ProbABEL(probabel-0.4.5.tar.gz) in unix with Eigen following installation instructions. Everything works well, except for "pacoxph". I have no idea why only pacoxph was not installed properly. Could you help me to fix it?
There was no error message during installation. After installation, pacoxph, palinear, and palogist were in the bin folder of "ProbABEL".
When running each of them, palinear and palogist run well but pacoxph does not.

There were two main styles of guitar music from the period between 1600 and 1750:
1. The Rasgueado Style--with mostly strummed chords
2. The Mixed Style--with a mixture of strummed chords and individually plucked notes
The former style is of mostly historical interest; the mixed style contains works more suitable for modern performers. Follow the links above for more thorough discussion of these styles and a detailed listing of guitar tablatures using them.
Most of the information on this Web site was compiled during my research in Italy under a Fulbright Scholarship in 1991-1992. The information contained here is primary research; the result of my visits to over two dozen libraries in Italy, France, and Great Britain where I studied over 100 examples of printed guitar tablatures. My doctoral dissertation, "Giovanni Battista Granata and the Development of Printed Guitar Music in Seventeenth-Century Italy" (Duke University, 1995), resulted from this research.
NEW! I've started an additional list, incorporating manuscripts and printed sources up to 1800. See:

Pakistan's cricket chief threw his weight behind under-fire coach Dav Whatmore on Tuesday, after the national team's 3-0 Test whitewash in South Africa, saying he was doing a good job.
Whatmore, appointed Pakistan coach a year ago, came in for severe criticism from former captains Wasim Akram, Moin Khan and Rashid Latif who called for the former Australian batsman to be sacked.
Appointed on a two-year contract, Whatmore guided Pakistan to the Asia Cup title and a one-day series win over arch-rivals India but lost consecutive Test series in Sri Lanka and South Africa.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Zaka Ashraf vowed there will be no hasty decisions on Whatmore's future.
"Whatmore is under contract with the PCB and is performing well," Ashraf told AFP. "There is a committee which evaluates each person under contract and submits its report.
"We take decisions only on merit and performance of the individuals."
Pakistan has a history of sacking coaches, showing the door to their last foreign coach Geoff Lawson after only a year in the job in 2008.
Whatmore's own appointment in March last year came as a surprise after his predecessor Mohsin Khan was widely acclaimed for bringing stability to the team and leading them to a 3-0 Test whitewash over England.
But the latest Test capitulation prompted Khan to lash out at Whatmore, who masterminded Sri Lanka's 1996 World Cup triumph, calling him over-rated and saying he was "fighting for survival".
Pakistan bounced back with a convincing win in Sunday's Twenty20 match and a PCB official speaking on condition of anonymity said Whatmore should not be judged on Tests alone.
"Undoubtedly, the Test performance is a concern but our results in other formats are not bad. People who are criticising the coach must look at the team's overall performance," the official said.
Pakistan's Twenty20 captain Mohammad Hafeez, who blitzed a match-winning 86 on Sunday as the tourists hammered South Africa by 95 runs in the second T20, also backed Whatmore.
"It (criticism of Whatmore) was unfair," Hafeez said in his post-match comments.
"If the results of one format do not come in your favour, it does not mean the boys are not working hard or the coach is not good enough. Those are all premature statements," he said.
Pakistan now play a five-match one-day series against South Africa, starting in Bloemfontein on Sunday.

Contact us for information about using this image.
George Fuller (1822-1884) was an artist born in Deerfield, Massachusetts, and a graduate of the Deerfield Academy. He studied painting in Boston (1842-47) and New York City (1847-59) but returned to the family farm in 1861. He only began painting in earnest in 1875 after the farm failed. He quickly achieved high acclaim with his images of quiet, dreamy landscapes. This entry into his mother's diary by Robert Higginson Fuller (1864-1922), George Fuller's son, describes his father's death from what was diagnosed as Bright's Disease, an inflammation of the kidney. 19th century doctors often invoked that diagnosis for disorders they did not fully understand. Fuller family history marks the cause of death as "pneumonia," another catch-all diagnosis of the time. Robert Higginson Fuller was a newspaperman. Later, he became an author and painter.

The election is behind us, but Americans remain uneasy about our national safety and economic future. They should.Fed chairman Ben Bernanke continues to write hot checks to pay overdrawn national credit cards while saying with a straight face that this is good economic policy. It seems any mother who can balance a checkbook is far more qualified than the administration's national economic experts. If only we could make the swap. With the Fed's faux economics, the dollar plummets and the price of a barrel of oil is hiked to adjust to world currencies to buy that same barrel of oil. Nothing has changed except our poor policies and pump prices. Is there a way out? Yes. Our government needs to alleviate the impact foreign countries have on the oil supply as they use our wealth to foment hatred for everything the United States represents. And the best way to wean us off foreign energy is to more fully develop our domestic energy sources. The Congressional Budget Office estimates 70 percent of America's oil and gas reserves are already available for development. Further, unreachable energy pockets are likely to become useable within the next few years as private companies continue to develop new and innovative ways to access them. The Institute for Energy Research finds that the total amount of recoverable oil in North America exceeds 1.7 trillion barrels. That would meet our energy needs for 250 years. And there is an estimated 4.2 quadrillion -- that's fifteen zeroes -- cubic feet of recoverable natural gas underneath us -- enough to meet America's electricity needs for the next 575 years. Imagine for a moment an America whose wealth gets circulated back among Americans rather than bled out to foreigners. It is a realistic vision. Without a vision, the people perish. Critical of American business while denying state compacts on transferring oil, President Obama has made it explicitly clear that he will continue to pour billions of tax dollars into green energy failures rather than develop known technologies that work today. The President's approach seems to ignore the enormous threats we are facing on multiple fronts with our national security. Green dreams aren't going to get America energy independent. The longer we continue to rely on foreign oil, the longer we will finance some of the most dangerous regimes on the planet. One thing is clear: we must do something now or face both an economic and national peril perhaps for generations. This is not academic. Energy security is national and economic security. With the right leadership, policy makers could get this country completely off foreign energy dependence within the decade. As a soldier that has fought in Middle Eastern garden spots, I believe we can ill afford to commit the future safety of American youth to short-sighted pipe dreams. This misguided activist-driven agenda needs to be tossed out. LTC Steve Russell, US Army, (Ret.), is the author of "We Got Him!: A Memoir of the Hunt and Capture of Saddam Hussein" (Simon & Schuster, 2011).
