By Tracy Ellis
BELLINGHAM, Wash. – The man who broke into the Ferndale Police station in December will spend three months in jail.
Twenty-two year-old Darrell Ryan Stacey pleaded guilty Monday to malicious mischief and burglary.
The Bellingham Herald reports that in addition to the three months in jail, he'll be forced to pay for the $52,000 worth of damage he caused.
The station was empty when Stacey forced his way into the station and vandalized it.

Lesser Shooting Charge Possible
Jury in Florida trial can consider manslaughter in death of teenager
July 12, 2013
SANFORD, Fla....
The FIX is in, the "state" is scrambling to find ANY way to convict Zimmerman because they don't want a NOT-GUILTY verdict leading to a RIOT.
"Essentially, Judge Nelson told Zimmerman he had the "absolute right to remain silent" but then proceeded to demand he answer her questions interrogation-style while silencing his lawyers.
Defense attorney Don West twice objected to Nelson's interrogation, prompting the judge to raised her voice and exclaim, "Your objection is overruled!" in a manner more befitting of an angry parent lecturing a child than a legal professional.
Both of Zimmerman's lawyers appeared shocked as attorney Mark O'Mara asked under his breath, "what is going on?"
Several legal experts and observers said the outburst was unprecedented.
"I have never seen that in more than 30 years of court reporting," tweeted journalist Kathi Belich.
Former Senatorial candidate Richard Rivette also expressed his shock at the judge's behavior."
3 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
A fix is in from the administration to find Zimmerman guilty regardless of what it takes," commented one.
"By demanding that Zimmerman respond to a question, after she has assured him that he has the right to remain silent, she is undermining his right to remain silent and making it appear as though he and his attorneys are not firm in their convictions. This judge is shameless," added another.
Judge Nelson also ruled this week that Trayvon Martin's text messages, which showed that Martin had been involved in fights before and was trying to buy or sell a gun, cannot be shown to the jury, which some suggested was another indication of an anti-Zimmerman bias.
Nelson also granted a request by prosecutors to block the defense's attempt to show the jury a computer-animated depiction of the fight between Martin and Zimmerman.
2 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Now some are asking the question – did Nelson's aggressive outburst represent an attempt to prejudice the jury against Zimmerman?
Given the likelihood that Zimmerman will be acquitted, has Judge Nelson been put under pressure by the federal government to aggressively advocate for the prosecution, just as Supreme Court Justice John Roberts was apparently pressured to vote to uphold Obamacare?
Ever since President Barack Obama personally inserted himself into the controversy by declaring Trayvon Martin to be akin to the son he never had, higher-ups have constantly meddled in the case in an effort to secure a murder charge for a scenario that Zimmerman would not normally have even been arrested for under Florida's Stand Your Ground law.
Indeed, ex-Sanford police chief Bill Lee told CNN yesterday that "he felt pressure from city officials to arrest Zimmerman to placate the public

"It is STANDARD for prosecutors in Florida murder cases to ask that the jury be allowed to consider lesser charges that were not actually brought against the defendant."

How can they possibly find "not guilty" the man who killed the only son Obama never had?
He's toast. White toast.
2 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
What happened is that the state hedged its bet, knowing that its murder case was not really based in fact, so they knew that if they gave the jury a lesser option they might convict Zimmerman on a lesser charge to avoid the turmoil that will follow a not guilty verdict. If he is guilty of murder he should be convicted of that. In truth the Prosecution does not think he committed murder and so they greased this lesser option into the deal so they don't have to walk out of the courtroom with a not guilty verdict. The concept of a fair trial for anyone is out the door. He will get convicted of something for the media, for the careers of the elected Prosecutors, for the Judge's career and for the ease of the jury. Not because he is guilty. The concept of fair trial in America is gone with the first slanted media report. It could happen to you.

A strengthening Chinese yuan and weakening Japanese yen mean Asia's two major currencies face sharply contrasting fortunes in 2014.
China's yuan is set for a strong year. The currency ended 2013 at 6.05 to the dollar, increasing 2.9 percent annually. In 2014, the yuan will rise to 5.98 by the end of the year, according to the median forecast of economists in a Bloomberg survey. This estimate may be too modest. Because of China's widening trade surplus and continued capital inflows, the currency could grow stronger substantially. Even a repeat of 2013's 2.9 percent gain would see it end the year at 5.88 to the dollar.

The WACT template syntax uses XML markup to "extend" HTML (or whatever XML vocabulary you are using) with tags and attributes to allow declarative logic to be used in the template. Compared to more common styles of template engines implemented in PHP (see Template View), it can be a little confusing to begin with. However, once grasped, it provides a powerful mechanism for rendering content as well as clean separation between application and presentation logic.
Note: as far as is possible, the syntax has been designed to allow WACT templates to be edited in a WYSIWYG editor, such as Macromedia's DreamWeaver.
There are a number of key points which need to be understood when working with the WACT's templates:
WACT handles templates in two stages; a compiling stage (Compile Time) and an execution stage (Run Time) (see also WACT Template Component Architecture).
During the compiling stage, your template is parsed and a Compile Time Component Tree is constructed to represent it. In Compile Time Component Tree are objects (subclasses from Compiler Component) which write output into the compiled template. The compiled template is your WACT template compiled into a native PHP script, ready for execution.
During the execution stage, the compiled template is invoked and a lightweight (fast) runtime component tree is built (each component in the tree being a subclass of Component), which you have access to via the Template API, allowing you to control the runtime components.
Because the compiling stage is expensive, in terms of performance, you can disable it with the
config.ini setting
FORCECOMPILE = FALSE. Normally you will only use the compile stage when you are developing an application and the template is being modified. Once the application is "live", the compiling stage should be disabled (the template is not changing), meaning only the fast, Run Time stage takes place.
There are four flavours of tag in WACT (see also Supported Tags and Define Tag Information);
Silent compiler directive tags provide instructions to the template engine, influencing template compile-time behaviour but without writing anything to the compiled template.
They also do not have a runtime component. That means when you load the template from your PHP script, via the Template class, there is no opportunity to interact with them - they do not exist at runtime and have no entry in the runtime component tree (you cannot find them with the Template::getChild() method).
They are the least common type of tag in WACT although examples include the Core Set Tag (used to set the value of a variable reference so the value gets written into the compiled template);
<core:set varname="value"/>
and the Core Import Tag (used to import a set of values to be written into the compiled template):
<core:import file="menu.vars"/>
Like silent compiler directive tags, compiler directive tags do not have runtime components, but they do write into the compiled template.
Examples include the Core Include Tag (used to include one template in another, much like the PHP include function):
<core:include file="header.html">
Core Optional Tag and Core Default tags (used for an if/else type condition in the template, depending whether the variable names in the for attribute has been set in the DataSpace);
<core:optional for="authenticated">You are logged in</core:optional> <core:default for="authenticated">You are not logged in</core:default>
Server component tags do have a corresponding runtime component which you can interact with from your PHP script, via the Template API and they write into the compiled template.
They are the most common type of tag in WACT, examples include the Core Block Tag (marks a section of the template which can be hidden or displayed dynamically at runtime):
<core:block hidden="true">This is invisible</core:block>
and the Calendar Month Tag (used to build a navigable calendar for a month)
Server tag component tags are a powerful feature in WACTs template engine, for example:
<calendar:month /> tag builds a navigable HTML table to represent a calendar month, without you needing to worry about the HTML or the math working behind the scenes that calculates the calendar.
The Server Data Component Tag is an extension of the Server Component Tag and deals with connecting a WACT Data Source to a tag. Otherwise the same rules apply as with the Server Component Tag - there is corresponding runtime component and it writes into the compiled template.
Some examples of Server Data Component Tags are:
<list:list /> tag makes it very easy to loop through a Record Set and embed it in HTML.
<data:table /> tag allows you to generate instant HTML tables for a Record Set (without typing a single
 tag)
Server tag component tags are an extension of server component tags (they have a runtime component and they write into the compiled template) but the important difference is they also correspond to native tag names in the XML vocabulary you are using. For example the Select Tag corresponds to the HTML
<select /> tag.
In other words server tag component tags allow behaviour to be added directly to an HTML tag in the template, on the server side, before the tags are sent to the browser. There are some special rules that need to be considered when dealing with Server Tag Component Tags, such as how to identify them to the template engine, which are explained below.
Widgets are components that exist purely at Run Time and allow the output to be manipulated dynamically outside of the template engine. The template engine is unaware of their existence.
They are recommended only for special cases where additional ability to manipulate the output is required. Because they are generated at Run Time they have a greater overhead than Compile Time components.
Examples include Text Widget (used to insert plain text into the body of a Generic Container Tag), Tag Widget (used to add tag into the body of a Generic Container Tag, but the tag cannot have further widgets added to it (e.g. a

)) and Tag Container Widget (used to add tag with can have further widgets added to, into the body of a Generic Container Tag (e.g. a

A Variable Reference is a placeholder to be filled by the value PHP variable at Run Time. It is a form of template expression in WACT. For a more detailed description of expressions, see the Output Expressions.
The basic syntax is:
At runtime WACT will look for the a variable called 'Title' inside the template Data Space where the Variable Reference was declared. To populate the above variable from your PHP script you might have:
$Page = & new Template('/index.html'); // Set the variable reference value $Page->set('Title', 'This is the title of the page');
Variable references can be used for attributes as well, even for the value of an attibute in a WACT tag (but not in the ID attribute of a WACT tag - see below).
A special case for Variable References is the Core Data Space tag, which defines an internal scope for data inside the template. If you are using the CoreDataSpace tag, you can access the root Data Space (the template Data Space) by replacing the $ context definiation in the variable reference with a # character. You access the parent Data Space using a ^ character to the $ context definition e.g
{$#variableName} or
Note: There is further syntax available which extends Variable References, described in the Output Expressions
Note: you can also populate a variable reference at Compile Time, using the Core Set Tag.
To tell the WACT template engine that a native HTML tag should be made into Server Tag Component Tag, the attribute runat must be added to the tag in the template and given the value "server" for example;
 <form id="MyFormA">  </form>  <form id="MyFormB" runat="server">  </form>
Only the second form above will become a Server Tag Component Tag, the first being treated as plain HTML.
Any HTML (or XML) tag in the template can be assigned a
runat="server" attribute and value allowing you to modify it's attributes at Run Time and (depending on the tag) insert Widgets into the tag.
This provides you a mechanism to modify HTML without needing to embed imperative logic (if/else etc.) into the template. For example, in a template, you might have:

Select a Logo

PHP Logo | MySQL Logo

 tag has been marked with a
runat="server" attribute, so the template engine makes it into a component.
Your PHP script, controlling this template, listens for the GET variable "logo" then modifies the
src attribute of the above
 element like this:
// Load the template $Page =& new Template('/logo.html'); // Is the logo variable set? if (isset ($_GET['logo'])) { // Get the  component $Img =& $Page->getChild('TheLogo'); // Modify the src attribte, depending on the value of $_GET['logo'] switch (strtolower($_GET['logo'])) { case 'php': $Img->setAttribute('src','http://ch.php.net/images/php.gif'); break; case 'mysql': $Img->setAttribute('src','http://www.mysql.com/images/poweredbymysql-125.png'); break; } }
So the
 tag can be dynamically modified at runtime.
There are two types of generic tag, defined by the classes Generic Tag and Generic Container Tag. The second, Generic Container Tag, can have Widgets added to it, as well as having it's attributes modified at Run Time. Instances of Generic Tag can only have their attributes modified.
The template engine decides which type of generic tag to use depending on how you declare the tag in the template. For example these three will all be turned into a Generic Tag;

But this will become a Generic Container Tag;

In other words, although the normal rules of XML parsing regard

 and

 to be the same thing, the WACT template engine regards the second as a tag you want to insert Widgets into.
For Server Tag Component Tag's which have a well defined set of children which may also need to become components, WACT supports automatically registering the children. This is currently used only for the form tags.
For example, imagine a form and it's children components:
<form id="MyForm" runat="server"> Name: <input type="text" value="name" runat="server">
 Email: <input type="text" value="email" runat="server">
 <input type="submit"> </form>
In other words all those
 and
<input type="text" /> tags have to be explicitly declared as components using
runat="server". This can be a headache to type, and is especially problematic when working with a WYSIWYG HTML editor.
To prevent you needing to do this the template engine will normally automatically register all the known children of the form tag, which are commonly used in forms, as runtime components. In other words, by default, the tags which typically appear inside a form tag inherit the parent runat="server" attribute.
<form id="MyForm" runat="server"> Name: <input type="text" value="name">
 Email: <input type="text" value="email">
 <input type="submit"> </form>
One thing to note here is the
<input type="submit"> will now also be registered as a runtime component so be warned - you may get more than you were expecting.
There are two ways to prevent inheritance of the runat="server" attribute. It can be switched off completely by placing a
useknown="false" attribute in the
<form /> tag e.g.:
<form id="MyForm" runat="server" useknown="false">  Name: <input type="text" value="name">
 Email: <input type=\"text\" value=\"email\">
 <input type="submit"> </form>
The other approach is to explicitly disable specific tags by giving them the attribute
runat="client" or nest it inside of Core Literal Tag, for example:
<form id="MyForm" runat="server">  Name: <input type="text" value="name">
 Email: <input type="text" value="email">
  <input type="submit" runat="client">  <core:literal> <input type="reset"> </core:literal> </form>
If you place WACT tags into your template, how to you find them at runtime, from your PHP script?
WACT tags are identified (uniquely) by the ID attribute. The template engine checks for duplicate IDs and will raise an error if it finds one. For example:

 Some text

PHP Script:
$Page =& new Template('/index.html'); // Get the DIV tag $Div =& $Page->getChild('MyBlock'); // Do something to it $Div->setAttribute('style', 'background-color: red');
The ID attribute above will also appear in the output HTML, so you can use it with CSS.
You are not required to give a WACT tag an ID attibute (perhaps you don't need to access it directly at runtime) and if not defined, WACT will generate an ID for it (beginning
"id000...") - note that generated ID's will not be displayed in the output HTML.
The Template API also allows you to find components by their Run Time PHP class name and will return the first component it finds of that class.
Note: Do not put Variable References in the ID attribute of a WACT tag. Right now this is not supported and does wierd things to the template. You can put a Variable Reference into an ID attribute of a plain HTML tag though.
Note: A further additional attribute called "wact:id" is planned to allow the optional ability to clearly distinguish between the HTML id attibute used for CSS and the unique name WACT needs to identify components.
HTML Form tags, (which are Server Tag Component Tags) are a special case which needs some consideration.
Because forms in HTML play an important part in PHP applications, WACT implements them as components that are ready to be used with WACT's FormController and FormView classes. To support this, forms provide a further mechanism for "naming" tags, using the "name" attribute (typically used to identify an
<input/> tag for example).
The following rules are applied by WACT to determine what value identifies the tag, which is what you will need to use if you want to find the component with Template::getChild():
For example:
<form id="MyForm" runat="server">  <input type="text" id="Input1" name="foo">  <input type="text" name="bar">  <input type="text"> </form>
The template engine is "self aware" in that it knows how to spot violations of (most of) the syntax rules of WACTs markup. For example if you assign the same ID to more than one WACT tag (plain HTML tags ignored), you will get a duplicate ID error as well as the file and line number where the duplicate tag was found. Different rules apply to different tags but another common error will be failing to close a tag which must be closed.
Some syntax errors will be harder to track down - WACT can only report the error at the point where it found it but you should at least know in which template file the error occured and what type of error you are looking for.
There are three tags currently available to help with debugging templates;
More such functionality is planned, such as tracing and profiling.
One further tag, along this lines, is the DataDumpTag, which allows you to dump a RecordSet (e.g. database query result or ArrayDataSet) into the template output.
Generally the template engine is fairly robust and stable although there are some outstanding issues. For the most up to date information, see the Template Component bug list as well as the "Template Group" unit tests.

...of breaching whales and strings...7054 16014
..of mucous? I remember reading in Sydney that biologists follow whales off the coast and collect bits of skin and other material the whales leave behind every time they surface. For about an hour during my last watch, there were whales breaching all around the horizon - looked like humpbacks but I don't know enough about other species to discriminate. We sailed through a spot where a very big one had been and sure enough, lots of frothy, rather greasy looking bubbles, flakes - more like little mats of perhaps skin and long strings and skeins of mucous like substance. I was not expecting it else would have tried to retrieve some.
And a whale spout in silhouette is just a grey column - hangs around for much longer that I would expect - but a spout with the sunlight reflecting from it is something special - stark white to begin with, then as it spreads and dissipates, a shower of diamonds falling through silver mist. Lovely - and out here, a century ago, deadly for the whale. Charlie Brower's descriptions of the whalers and the hundreds of ships are cause for admiration of the men and mostly Eskimo women who hunted the whales along the edges of the ice - and deep sadness that the whales are now so scarce. A bowhead was worth a fortune to the catcher - think corsets - and I wonder whether any of the women who wore them and the men who expected them to do so - had any idea of the hardship and awfulness that killing whales for the baleen that made the whalebone for the corset actually involved. The bowhead was saved by the invention of plastics (I think). There's a deep grey green blue Chinese jade - not very common - that's the Chukchi sea today. I've never seen the sea as flat and glassy as it was this morning even in the tropics. We have a bit of breeze now, on the nose again, but useful to help the motor along. AGW, a lift this arve if the GRIB is right and Point Barrow tomorrow morning. Pete, we drank one of yours for the Arctic Circle, Steve, one of yours for the whales. Nooice!

Ivan Alexandrov, Class of '11
Bachelor of Science in Electronic Engineering Technology
Graduate student in electrical engineering, Polytechnic Institute of New York University
More than 6,500 miles separate Novosibirsk, Siberia from New York City. So how did Ivan Alexandrov find Vaughn College anyway?
"When I first came here I didn't know any colleges at all; I didn't know where to look or go," Alexandrov recalled. "I was directed to Vaughn College by an admissions counselor at another college who thought Vaughn would be a good fit. I looked at the website, came for a visit and really liked the program.
"I am very satisfied with my decision and the value of my Vaughn degree."
Born in Arkhangelsk, on the White Sea in northern Russia, and raised in Novosibirk, 2,200 miles east of Moscow, Alexandrov moved to Brooklyn when his father, an American citizen, was transferred to New York. The move came right after he completed his associate degree at a college in Siberia, leaving him little time to find a New York City bachelor's program.
One visit to Vaughn convinced him that this was the perfect landing spot.
"Vaughn honored my Russian transcript and the programs I had taken in Russia," Alexandrov said in near-perfect English. "You could tell there was a personal touch here. Everyone was so helpful."
Always scientifically inclined, Alexandrov was right at home in Novosibirsk, the tech capital of modern Russian. That preparation served him well at Vaughn, where he graduated cum laude with a prestigious Casey S. Jones Award in electronic engineering technology. After graduation he was hired by the structural engineering firm Wexler Associates in Manhattan. As of 2011, he still works there while pursuing a master's degree in electrical engineering at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University.
Vaughn prepared him well, he said, for the challenges of graduate school.
"Earning my bachelor's from Vaughn helped me a lot," he said. "The electronic engineering program has a lot of parallels to the electrical engineering degree I am pursuing now."
With a bachelor's and master's earned in America, Alexandrov would be in high demand back in Siberia. But he's an American and a New Yorker now; if he returns it will only be for a vacation.
"It's beautiful in Siberia," Alexandrov said. "But the winter starts in October and the snow doesn't go away until April. The amount of snow is crazy."

well today i had the oposit problem i woke up around 3am and could not get back to sleep. i ended up lying in bed watching almost the entire season 2 of that morman show. i finally dragged my self out of bed at 9am. my task for today was to put the back cabin and associated electronics back together but i could not get up the motivation. i did give the ais keyboard one last shot , i tried trimming the ribbon cable and sanding off some of the insulation but no joy. i will need to order a replacement one.
after that failure i got on the radio and organized a bbq on palapa for the evening. we where all getting low on food but where able to divy up the bbq so we had everythign covered. dinner turned out to be absolutely great. i did some meatball things on the grill as an apitizer. jaimi had provided marinade for the chicken and shema brought some delicious rice and garlic yogurt to go with everything. this was a bit of a farewell to paul and shema as they where heading north to marmaris to meet up with some visitors.

so this morning i slept in until 930 as a result of my late night tv. ironically only moments after i flipped on the vhf radio i got a call from slap dash about coming over for breakfast. the original plan was for 730 but apparently they where a bit behind sched as well. i was on the phone with frank but i told them to head over and my best to multi task making coffee and talking on the cell at the same time. once i got the cofee going i turned the kitchen over to jamie. she did a great job making us breakfast buritos with our eggs and her sausage.
as i mentioned previously i had been getting a bit overwhelmed by the todo list so after breakfast i decided to focus on items needed to allow me to replace all the panels and get the aft cabin back together, these where 1. vhf antenna connectors install 2. new circuit breaker for simrad autopilot and nmea 2000 instruments 3. AIS keyboard with seths help i managed to get 1 and 2 complete but i think i am going to need to get a replacement one from the US. the good news is now i can turn the simrad off so we are saving an amp all the time we are not using the autopilot. the down side is i had to install the breaker under floor in the galley.
by the time we had finished this we only had time for a quick happy hour before seth headed home to make dinner. i decided to go it alone and made some left over rice and stir fry ground beef. once i got done i was a bit lonely so i asked the slappers if i could come over and join them. seth ended up making a similar dish and in the end we just mixed everything together yum yum :)
after dinner we got the unfortunate news that seth's friend jeff was again going to blow him off and cancel his trip out. this got us into a long debate about philosophy of seizing the moment vs doing the responsible thing. during this i managed to talk to karli for a few minutes between drop outs. she was still having a great time but was exhausted. she had also met a new friend who was crew of a power yacht and they where both going for a hike vs the "boat" trip scheduled for the other yogaers tomorrow.
cheers, roger

i woke up early and decided to go retrieve my cell phone from slap dash hoping to hear from karli on how the yoga event was going. based on my previous attempts to try to wake up the slappers early in the morning i expected to just stop by grab the cell and sneak off. in fact the last time i went over to drop off water before we left marmaris i climbed aboard knocked finally gave up just opened the lazeret and got and filled the tanks myself without anyone waking up.
this time just to make sure i did not wake them i even rowed over. alas it is so calm that seth immediately jumped awake. the good news was we found my phone straight away and i got a text from karli that she was having a great time at yoga. this definatly made me a bit happier and even better resulted in jamie making us both breakfast. i supplied the bacon which was still on board and it was delicious. seth figured out how to make two cups of coffee with his one cup coffee maker and we where in business!
after breakfast i headed back to palapa but could not really got anything accomplished. my todo list seems to grow faster than it shrinks. today i had to re-add gen oil light and hatch over the nav table. around noon seth suggested we go on a hike. this seemed like a reasonable plan and i went over to invite paul and apologize for our altercation the night before. he said he was interested but needed to finish sorting nuts, at first i thought he was still pissed off from the night before and making up excuses but then he showed a couple of nuts he had just cleaned.
eventually paul finished up and we headed to shore for our hike. we found a nice trail after a bit of back and forth and ended up walking all the way around to the next cove. it ended up being over a three hour hike. fortunately paul speaks some turkish and he was able to get us a liter of water from a local restaurant at the half way point otherwise we would have been seriously dehydrated by the time we got back.
we where planning on a quite evening but shema had made a delicious vegetarian turkish casserole which she offered to bring over. i made an eggplant salad and the slappers brought quesadieas. another great impromptu pot luck. by the time we where done with everything it was almost 10pm. yikes, the late sun definitely makes it hard to get to bed early. i was not able to get to sleep without karli in spite of attempts to recreate her with a pile of pillows so i ended up all night watching all the rest of the entourage seasons.

well i would have to say this was my most un-fun and un-happy day on palapa for as long as i can remember. i would have to say even worse than the worst pirate day. i knew it was not going to be great as karli was leaving but it was much worse than i expected. so things started out "ok" with karli getting packed to go, not supper fun for either of us. fortunately her mother called and at least cheered her up a bit. we got everything packed up and staged on palapa for karli's 2pm departure and headed ashore to collect the card. i remember saying to karli "do you feel lucky" as we walked down toward the bank "yes" she said! well i did not feel lucky and as luck would have it there was no card at the bank. best we can figure is she left it in the machine after getting the money and someone came by to get money and pulled it out. we where both very overwhelmed fortunately we had planned for this possibility and i had given karli enough us dollars to cover a week of the yoga school from the remains of the stash on palapa. unfortunately we needed to cancel the card and see about a replacement as she only had one card.
i got karli set up at her favorit local restaurant with my iphone and wifi and headed back to get her laptop so we could skype the bank. she managed to get through to the bank bank and they agreed to send a card for 40 $ but we needed some kind of address. we settled on the yoga place but it is almost impossible to understand the words with all the extra letters. we finally got an email from the yoga place to send to the bank but there where no numbers of any sort on it, no street number no zip code, yikes! karli emailed it off to the guy at the bank but i dont have a warm fuzzy feeling about everything working!
by this time we where both starving so we had some lunch/breakfast (we had forgotten to order during all the cc angst). by the time we where done with lunch it was time to put karli in a taxi and head her off to yoga class. as she drove off i felt that feeling of overwhelming aloneness. on top of this as soon as i got back to palapa i had to attack the head project. what a mess, i had to make a trip to shore for a snake which turned out to be a complete waste of time. in the end i had to pull all the hoses completely off. i tried to suck the water out with the shop vac first but that created another mess. did i mention i hate heads!!! on top of this all during this i could not get in touch with karli so i was worried she did not make it. the taxi dude did not exude confidence and envisioned her lost by the side of the road somewhere in turkey. finally i got a call from her. there was no cell coverage at the retreat site and she had to hike up a km to get the phone to work, great guess we will not be talking much on the phone.
i eventually got the head back together and decided it was going to be too depressing to spend the night alone in gocek so i headed back down south to join up with slapdash and liander. the only positive thing that occurred was there was still a mooring free and seth and paul came out to help me tie up. somehow i got into a bit of an argument with paul over lightning and grounding problems. later on slap dash this almost led to a full on brawl with me leaving before it got to out of hand. not a great day one of karli's of being gone, hopefully things are going better for her! i really hope karli comes back and i survive until she does!

so again i was up the mast first thing on slap dash for hopefully the final final trip. we had rivits the rivit gun and finally there was no stopping us. i was able to get the one half in rivit out and put in two brand new ones it was beautiful! i almost posted a picture of the finished product for all the engineers but decided on karli as she is heading off again :( after the mast event seth and i went over to palapa to try to knock off a couple more items on the todo list before i had to leave to rndv with karli at 230pm. all we managed to do was get the vhf cable run before i again had to pack the boat and get under way. it was a little challenging getting off the morning palapa really wanted to mate with slap dash so in the end seth jumped on and helped get the 300 feet of cain up. you could tell the windless was not super happy groaning away. i am glad i have the spare motor but am a bit concerned that i got a slightly lower wattage than the original.
i got into gocek and got the hook dropped and set 30 min ahead of schedule. i ended up a bit closer to this 50 ft beetau than i would have liked but it is hard to drop the hook in 80 ft of water by your self in 10 to 15 kts of wind! i texted karli my arrival as i expected she was getting her hair cut so i dropped of our propane and found a nice spot on the water for lunch (5$ beer and 4$ turkish pizza). i am a big short hair fan so i thought karli looked great but she was a bit traumatized by "so much being cut off". we had lunch and headed back to palapa for a nap. it was great to see karli again and in general she was much happier (other than the hair) she had finally tried out a turkish bath and had really enjoyed it. apparently it included a scrub and massage but they are all done by guys so i dont think i will be experiencing this!
karli was still not ready to jump back on palapa after her 24 hours ashore so after a bit of brainstorming i suggested she try to find a yoga course some place in turkey for a week or so. she thought this was a great plan and so after our nap we headed to shore with her laptop to see if there where any options. surprisingly enough almost immediately she found a place in the hills just 8km out of gocek where we where staying and it started tomorrow. she sent an email with her local cell and before we had finished dinner she had a call back from someone with the details.
i was glad to see karli excited about the new plan but not crazy about her leaving. being the supportive boyfriend i am i was upbeat about her trip in spite of my clogged head and overwhelming todo list. we made plans to go try to cover her card in the am from the bank and then get her off to the event.

well i can say this morning did not start with another mast climb! karli had picked out a cute little place in gocek she wanted to spend a day or two or 3 off the boat at so i headed back over to gocek to drop her off. it was with a heavy heart i left here there on the dock but i was hoping some land time would get her to return to palapa more rested and invigorated (i dont think the non stop partying seth and i had been doing since he arrived was helping her get to this point). karli reported that reported the place was quite nice for only 50 lira with a nice pool, hot shower and breakfast included (not boding well for a quick return to palapa). of course in a bit of irony shortly after dropping karli off i got a call from paul that he and shema where FINALLY on their way over to meet up with us for the bbq we had been supposed to have the night before. it had been a while since i did the single handed thing but managed to get the hook up and underway without hitting any one and headed down to the anchorage slapdash was now at to get things set up for the bbq we had promised liander.
everything seemed twice as hard without karli to help but i managed to get the boat on a mooring with seths help and then headed off with him to recon the bbq sites. we selected the same spot we had with imagine and Pegasus as it was still rigged with a nice circle of rocks. i thought we where going to side tie palapa and slapdash to free up a mooring but seth had had some bad side tie experiences so he and i med moored palapa. it was a bit of a challenge and had to use almost all of the 300 feet of chain i had but we got set up securely and got to shore to get the fire going on schedule.
the bbq went flawlessly with liander arriving to pick up their reserved mooring just as the grill was ready. seth had got the fire going and handed it off to me for the bbq while went to collect paul and shema and their baby complete with car carrier. i managed to rally from my karli free funk helped by seth making numerous scotch and sodas until we ran out of ice. during the bbq i got a text from karli asking for a pickup tomorrow at 230pm. this was welcome news but she also mentioned she had lost her atm card in the atm machine. not good since she only has one. hopefully it will be at the bank when it opens on mon! the beef and chicken jamie had prepared came out great and i used some of my secret wing sause on the wings leander had brought and these came out great as well. all in all a delicious meal!
after the dinner seth got the fire roaring and we had a full on bonfire in no time. jamie even made us smores', the marsh mellows where not quite as perfect as caroline's but the end product was delicious seth and i ended up in a bit of a fight over the last one! some how i was the designated dingy driver and managed to get everyone back to leander safely while seth stayed on shore to put out the fire. there was a bit of miscomunication as far as the after party went so we ended up calling it a night. probably just as well! looking fwd to being reunited with karli tomorrow :)

again this morning started with a climb of the mast on slap dash. we had to time it so we could use jaime to tail while seth winched me up the mast and then cut her free intime to go on a kayack around the island. so again up the mast i went, this time armed with a rivit gun and rivits (i was pretty impressed i had this stuff). i got up to the mast drilled out the old rivits only to discover my rivits where to small and where pulling through the hole. seth, know having been familiarized with what rivits looked like said he thought he might have some. he rumaged around and low and behold found 5 of the guys the correct size. alas they where so corroded (aluminum) only one took. crapedy crap crap .. i was able to get the polarity swaped on one of the mast lights so it would accept a new led bulb that was polarity sesitive so it was not a complete loss.
we where planning to head to town anyways for groceries for the bbq so we just added rivits to the list along with some vhf antenna parts. after a brisk morning swim we all rndvouds on palapa for a group trip over to gocek to take advantage of the palapa anchor windless and the 80 ft of water in the anchorage. seth and i where able to find jut about everything and karli and jaimi got some more fresh food and meet for the bbq. things where getting a bit hectic so i sent the girls to get lunch while seth and i shuffled everything out to the dingy. was a good plan as cube libre was at max load for the trip and we had to take both dingys. we did have a brief dingy race on the way back and we where pretty much neck and neck.
by the time we had finished lunch and got back under way it was looking like the bbq was going to be too ambitious. karli was pooped as well so we came back to the same anchorage and after seth and i had a few beers i made karli a romantic dinner of fried chicken things along with pasta and some fried sea weed they sell here. karli was still a bit run down from the non stop slap dash partying and social event so we made plans to drop her in gocek for a spa day the next morning.

i am not sure how i keep agreeing to this but aparently last night i volenteered to again go up the slap dash mast. they have no power winch so this pretty much rules seth out. from the palapa perspective this is hardly a mast, more like a long boom and it is a catamaran so how much can it really move. i am sure all these things went into a carefull decision last night to sign up to go up the mast first thing in the am to replace the vhf antenna and put in a couple of led bulbs. of course it did not turn out to be quite this easy, once up i got the antenna on but noticed it was really only hanging on by one rivit. on top of this only one of the two led bulbs worked (anyone who can guess why get another free beer). after spending what seemed like an hour up here i headed back down for my second cup of coffee. fortunatly karli had insisted on feeding me breakfast before the mast event.
the rest of the day was a whirl wind of activity. seth had agreed to come over and help me change the impeller in the engine that had not been changed since CA. i was not sure what he could do but fortunately his long arms where key as you could not actually see the impeller. he also brought over a cool little tool which was critical in the impeller removal process. the old impeller was not too bad but you could see cracking on the blades so good thing we went ahead and did this. i also almost completed the vhf antenna project and i did "fix" the primary vhf radio which was showing no power. another beer if you can figure out the "fix". karli got going on the stainless as well and everything in the shade of the cockpit is looking rockstar now! we just need to move palapa into the shade somewhere to complete the process.
by this point we where again pushing up against happy hour. slapdash was responsible for appetizers this time and we had great stuffed mushrooms and stufed tomatoes filled with a delicious sausage mixture. we also had a white sangri prepared by jaime. after this we adjourned to palapa for another round of bbq chicken. tomorrow we head into town for some more meet for a beech bbq! i am again signed up for a mast event at first light!
cheers, roger

Congress on Thursday asked JDS to spell out whether it would support Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's candidature as Prime Minister following its alliance with BJP for the August 21 Lok Sabha bypoll.
"JDS which has sewed an unholy alliance with BJP for Lok Sabha bye elections in the state should come clear on whether they would support Modi's candidature as Prime Minister in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections," Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president G Parameshwara told reporters here.
Parameshwara said the JDS-BJP alliance would not affect prospects of Congress in the bypolls as it had won 122 seats in the recently concluded Assembly elections, which is still fresh in voters' mind.
"We will treat it as a challenge and prove JDS and BJP wrong," he said after meeting former Chief Minister S M Krishna along with senior party leader Digvijay Singh.
Krishna said he wasn't surprised over the alliance between JDS and BJP since the former is known for opportunistic politics.
"The alliance will not be a threat to Congress," he added.

The digital delights of Sony's scrumptious PlayStation Network service know no bounds. Aside from letting punters compete in online gaming, stream films, browse the Internet and more, its premier attraction rests in the copious supply of downloadable games ripe for the picking. From PSN exclusives to PSOne Classics, minis and plain old add-on content, Sony's online space is chock full of goodies battling it out for your hard-earned digital dollars.
Welcome back to another installment of Inside PlayStation Network, where every Monday – Friday we'll pluck a PSN release—be it new or old—and put it in the spotlight for a thorough dissection. Fancy getting a new PSN game but don't know what one to plump for? Perhaps this feature will help. Didn't realize that a game was available in your region until now? We've got you covered. Or, perhaps you were musing over what those lucky Japanese folk were tucking into over in the Land of the Rising Sun? You can be sure our coverage will extend to those rare regional exclusives as much as those firmly embedded on the public consciousness.
For our latest entry, we focus on the bite-sized adventure romp, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.
Developer: Crystal Dynamics
Region(s) available: North America, Europe
Players: 1-2
Released in summer 2010 to critical acclaim, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light sees the dexterous, titular heroine and partner Totec on the trail of an ancient demon chap named Xolotl. The duo's exploits take them deep into the Mayan jungle as they run, jump and gun their way through cobweb-filled catacombs and other long-forgotten locations. The action can be played solo, or you can bring a mate along for the ride thanks to the game's co-op functionality (which took its bloody sweet time to arrive on PS3, we might add).
Guardian of Light's core mechanics adheres closely to the classic Tomb Raider mould, combining platforming, combat and riddles into one polished package. Miss Croft and her companion will need to put their thinking caps on to solve an array of multistage puzzles, which come in all shapes and sizes and really do a fine job at getting the old Grey Matter working overtime. There's also plenty of exploration up for grabs, which usually results in uncovering fresh weapons and various artifacts that enhance your skills. Further rewards can also be unearthed by meeting various requirements, such as grabbing hidden symbols or navigating a deadly trap on your first try without perishing.
Combat will also frequently rear its head to break up the more cerebrally-challenging shenanigans, so you'll have to arm yourself accordingly. Fortunately, Croft is more than up to the task, getting her mitts on a variety of guns including perfunctory pistols to meaty shotguns, rifles and more. In addition, you can also obtain and equip special relics, which augment our heroine with some rudimentary physical abilities such as attack and speed. As for foes, Guardian of Light boasts a diverse bestiary, including everything from living skeletons, oversized arachnids, demons and trolls.
As mentioned the game has a co-op mode, and it's here that Guardian of Light really starts to shine thanks to the emphasis on team work. Rather than having Lara do all the donkey work as with the single-player, Totec really mucks in during the multiplayer, with your partner required to make use of his unique attributes. For example, Totec can put his shield above his head, creating a makeshift platform for Croft to utilize, or chuck arrows at the wall allowing Lara to grab onto them. While initially starting off with ancient weaponry, Totec can also be given the skinny on how to make use of modern equipment from his lanky companion as the game progresses.
See what we thought of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light in our full review here, and tune in again same time tomorrow as we have another butcher's Inside PlayStation Network.

Several families from Israel shocked to discover bottles with pictures of Nazi leaders at liquor store in Dolomites region. Manufacturer reports huge demand for product
Ofer Petersburg

Ofer Petersburg
In good company. Himmler, Hitler and Guevara wine in Italy
One of the tourists, a resident of the central Israeli city of Netanya, managed to take a picture of the bottles when the workers were not paying attention.
"My 14-year-old son and his friends were completely shocked and still can't stop talking about it," she says. "Unfortunately, it was a very tangible and unpleasant way of showing the youth that anti-Semitism persists in Europe in full force to this very day."
It turns out that "Hitler wines" have been sold in Italy for years, and about 10 years ago German's foreign minister even complained to the Italian government about it, but to no avail. The bottles, according to one of the salespeople, are still flying off the shelves.
The owner of the Italian company which manufactures the "Hitler wine," Andrea Lunardelli, said in an interview to German television in the past that there was huge demand for the product in petrol stations and tourist sites and that he planned to expand its production.

Ann League has been a member of SOCM (Statewide Organizing for Community empowerment) for several years, including serving a term as Vice-President of the SOCM Board, before joining the staff as an organizer in 2009. She was born in Seneca, S.C., the youngest of five, and moved to Tennessee when she was seventeen. Ann quickly fell in love with the mountains and people of east Tennessee, especially the Cumberland Mountains. She was first made aware of the devastating coal mining process called Mountaintop Removal (MTR) when the 2200 acre Zeb Mountain mine site was permitted not far from her then home in Campbell County. She has been fighting against MTR and other destructive mining practices and for a sustainable Appalachia ever since. Ann staffs the Campbell/Anderson chapter of SOCM and she staffs the E-3 (Energy, Ecology, Environmental Justice) Issues Committee. Ann is also an active member of The Alliance for Appalachia, a coalition of 13 groups across central Appalachia working to abolish MTR. Ann lives in Knoxville with her infinitely patient and understanding spouse equivalent, Jeff, and a pack of rescued dogs. No really, a pack of dogs.
Kathy Selvage is a lifelong resident of Wise County, VA, where her father was a coal miner and a proud member of the United Mine Workers of America. When mountaintop removal mining operations began to tear her community apart, however, Kathy could not remain silent and has since worked to bring local, regional and national exposure to the destruction that mountaintop removal coal mining is wreaking on the land, people, and culture of Appalachia. Kathy is the recipient of the 2006 S. Francis Ecological Award for innovative work promoting the interconnectedness of all life and was listed as one of 14 individuals and organizations making a difference in the future of Appalachia in Blue Ridge Country.

Binge Eating Disorder (cont.)
Exams and Tests
Doctors diagnose binge eating disorder by doing a physical exam and asking questions about your medical history and eating habits. Your doctor also might do a mental health assessment, which is an evaluation of your emotions and how well you think, reason, and remember.
Binge eating disorder often is associated with being overweight. Your doctor might use a tool called the body mass index (BMI) to look at how much you weigh compared with your height.
Treatment Overview
Treatment for binge eating disorder includes counseling and sometimes medicine. Goals in treating binge eating often include:
Most people with binge eating disorder need treatment, but many people who have an eating disorder try to keep it secret or deny that they have a problem. Some might join weight management programs to lose weight but do not seek treatment for binging or for mental health problems related to the condition. It often is a family member or friend who convinces the person to seek treatment.
If you think that you or someone you know might have an eating disorder, talk to your doctor. Signs of an eating disorder that needs treatment include binges, concern or embarrassment about eating behaviors, secretive eating habits, preoccupation with weight or body image, or an unhealthy body weight because of eating problems.
Several types of counseling can be useful in treating eating disorders.
Antidepressants sometimes are used in the treatment of binge eating disorder. They may reduce episodes of binge eating and they may help with related depression or anxiety.
Topiramate (Topamax), which is a medicine used to treat seizures and chronic pain, is sometimes used to reduce the urge to binge.
What to think about
Medicines and counseling may help you quit binging and lose excess weight. But this will take some time and patience. Some people find that they still have trouble losing excess weight, even after they stop binging. Talk to your doctor about what results are realistic to expect from treatment.
Unfortunately, many people don't seek treatment for mental health problems. You may not seek treatment because you think the symptoms are not bad enough or that you can work things out on your own. But getting treatment is important.
If you need help deciding whether to see your doctor, read about some reasons why people don't get help and how to overcome them.

welcome home merlin
we picked up merlin at the slaughter house today. our life is full of paradoxes. i couldn't work for bob last week because my injured leg wouldn't allow. so that put us into a financial crunch that was exacerbated by needing a new faucet in the kitchen. our old one fell into pieces and was not reparable nor usable. tuesday we went to lowes and bought a new faucet that i promptly installed. that check for the faucet was going to put us over the available balance. so, friday i came home from work and grabbed all the change in the house and took it to deposit in the bank. kassi and tristan needed to come also--the bank has a popcorn machine. the bankers all loved the kids and fun was had by everyone. i narrowly averted an overdraft with pocket change to spare. the paradox is that we picked up merlin and are eating like kings. we are broke, broke, broke but gorgeing ourselves on grassfed, naturally grown porter-house steaks. our huge freezer is almost not able to close with the all that beef.
the kids loved the steak even toly. tristan asked several questions about how merlin was killed. we explained everything several times and he understood. he really needed to get his mind wrapped around the whole thing better. kassi and tristan each ate an entire porter-house
steak--toly mostly sucked the bones. i thought toly was going to throw a conniption when he momentarily dropped his precious bone.
tabitha and i took a walk after supper. we like to walk around the farmstead and bask in the accomplishments and make strategies for the immediate future. tomorrow morning we will finish planting tomatoes. we have fifteen or so planted and have many more to plant tomorrow. in the afternoon i'll work on the calf pen more. it needs a partial roof over the back corner and the front gate. these are both things we can do without spending any money and are needed to be finished almost as badly as the root-cellar/storm-shelter. i need to purchase a load of chat to finish the cellar/shelter. if it weren't for my stupid leg injury i'd be probably finishing it up tomorrow. safety from the impending spring storms plagues me but things happen as they should. if i have time tomorrow evening i'll build new compost bins. i need a few pallets, tom has some laying around that i'll ask him about when the time comes.
i scattered about 2 yards of composted manure in the garden. the soil is looking so good right now. we have such high hopes for our garden this year.

Looks very tasty. Was it strange at all?
Reckon somebody woulda ate him, why the hell not you guys!
Welcome home, Merlin! You look delicious! Y'll better send, or save me a steak!
Sounds delicious!! What a neat full circle.
- Danielle said...
Wandering and visioning and planning and basking is one of our favorite things to do! Feeds the soul.
Glad Merlin's so tasty. A full freezer and a family is rich no matter what's in the bank!
Off to eat some homemade donuts...

phoebe, not strange in the slightest for me. i don't really take issue with that kind of stuff anyway. i'm glad we are the ones eating him because we know what he ate--grass and alfalfa. if everything in our food chain eats what they naturally eat and live full rich lives i feel better about it all.
uncle matt, you'd better get your but on a road trip.
rebekah, thanks we see it that way too. plus, it is a good example for the kids.
danielle, i look forward to see your exploits at your new farmstead. congratulations

It was I, the other Danielle, who recently upgraded to the new blogger and lost my whole profile. Oh well, it was time for a new photo.

That was a lovely post! I so often feel so poor yet we eat "like kings". but for us it is different. our goal is a small farmstead but not yet as we can't afford it. for now we put a good majority of our money to buy grasfed meats and raw dairies from an amish farmer we know close by. if i can't have my own animals, I will give my money to someone who can raise that was. it's so very important to me... even if it means we have nothing else to say for all our hardwork. it's sad to me that people put food at the bottom of their priorities...
you will never regret keeing your priorities straight.

The premise for this research is that high value computing has unique compute, network and storage infrastructure requirements. The key systems requirements are low or very low latency, high bandwidth and high availability designed to lower software costs, improve time-to-value and help maintain high levels of data integrity and system availability. Wikibon researched the differences between performance optimized and cost optimized systems for a sample high-value compute environments, and concluded that the total 3-year cost of a sample cost-optimized configuration and software were 63% high than a performance optimized configuration. The key differences are higher costs for performance optimized hardware, but lower costs for the software required in high value compute application, as well as lower operational costs.
As the market for Hybrid Cloud services and solutions evolve, every vendor and cloud provider is attempting to align their offerings to market demands. Wikibon looks at the current offerings and provides guidance to vendors on how to succeed in this market.
In this report we look at ad-tech as an example of Systems of Intelligence.

The x86 microprocessor has reached a limit in how much an application can be speeded up. Intel can no longer rely on economies of scale to drive market share in processors. Future advances will come from designing the microprocessor and software-in-silicon together. There are multiple large niches that have opened up to new processor/software approaches, including mobile, IoT servers, specialized servers for the cloud, telecommunications servers and large system servers for large database and big data applications. New winners in this space are likely to come from companies like Apple, Amazon, Fujitsu, Google, Hitachi, IBM, Microsoft and Oracle.

Woodford District
From Albany Hilltowns
The Woodford District was another name for Rensselaerville District School No. 7 which was located on Lot 228 on what became Cooley Rd. It is no longer standing. The 1854 Map shows R. Woodford living directly across and likely how this school got its name.[1].

Snowpiercer's Japanese Trailer Reveals More Exciting Footage
By Nick Venable 2014-01-08 11:25:35 comments
With all the mini-controversy over which cut of Bong Joon-hos dystopian thriller Snowpiercer American audiences would get to see, the movie itself has gotten comfortable on the backburner. After all, it doesnt really matter how the film is edited if The Weinstein Company continues to go without giving the film an official U.S. release date.
All snarkiness aside, my excitement for Snowpiercer has once again reached an apex with the release of the Japanese trailer, which features quite a bit of footage we havent seen before. Will we ever see it again? Sure, if we just keep replaying the trailer.
A big thanks to Twitchfilm for pointing us to this trailer, which has successfully made me want to rebel with everything on the other side of my house. And then when Im done with that, Im going to find a way to live in a train car that is somehow surrounded by an aquarium setting. I suppose I shouldnt get so inspired by a class-sectioned film that takes place after the world is coming to an end, but its no worse than Terminator 2 inspiring me to walk into biker bars while naked.
This trailer in particular exhibits a solid pacing that lays out the story almost perfectly. We get to see how different sections of the train get to live before watching the heinous treatment that the lower class citizens in the back of the train experience. And all it takes is a gun butt to the face and someone stepping on someone elses hand; no good comes from crushed fingers. Tilda Swinton tells everyone to keep their place, and then we see the seedlings of revolt planted in the minds of Chris Evans, Octavia Spencer and the other downtrodden souls. And then fight! Too bad we dont get to spend much time with the films other stars, including John Hurt, Ed Harris, Alison Pill, Jamie Bell, Ewan Bremner and Song Kang-ho.
Its incredibly unnerving to see people storming down a train car holding a bunch of torches, especially combined with big gunfights and shots of the trains rickety wobbling along its never-ending circuit around Europe and Asia. Will this uprising actually work to ensure equal treatment of all the Snowpiercers citizens, or will it only serve to ruin everyones lives without a clear victory? Assuming you havent had a chance to catch the film at a film festival, then youll find out right along with me when Snowpiercer hits theaters whenever Snowpiercer hits theaters.
Heres one of those other trailers they released just to make Americans think we wouldnt be waiting until the next Ice Age to get a look at this thing.

Social Music Table
I saw this 'Dub Table' interactive music mixing table in a tent at a recent music festival. I was happily amazed at non-techy people getting involved in what is normally the geeky domain of music re-mixing. A crowd of young and old, male and female, were reaching in, adding new sounds, changing volumes, EQ and other effects in a real-time Dub mix. I've never seen technology that has enthralled, and actually engaged an audience like this before. Expect a 'Rock Band' version before long.
Unfortunately I can't find a direct link the creator of the Dubtable (help?), but you can read more about the technology behind (or rather, under) the table on Create Digital Music.

House Safety
Wildland-urban interface fires tend to be more damaging than urban structural fires, and behave differently from structural fires. The wildland-urban interface is the area where homes and other human development meet or intermingle with undeveloped forests, grasslands, or other natural areas.
People who live in these areas often forget or disregard the wildland fire cycles and dangers. Homes and other structures are built and maintained in a manner that leaves them and their occupants vulnerable. Thus, fire becomes a significant threat to both humans and natural resources.
Charcoal briquettes and ash from woodstoves/fireplaces also can start wildfires. When disposing of briquettes and ash outside, drown the charcoal and ash with lots of water; stir them, and soak again. Be sure they are out cold!
Sparks from lawnmowers and power equipment DO start wildfires. Be careful on hot, dry days, and be sure to get your equipment checked regularly.
Proper car etiquette: Be sure chains and other metal parts aren't dragging from your vehicle - they throw sparks. Check your tire pressure - driving on an exposed wheel rim can cause sparks. Be careful driving through or parking on dry grass. Hot exhaust pipes can start the grass on fire. Never let your brake pads wear too thin; metal on metal makes sparks.
If you are going to smoke and it is permitted outdoors, safe practices require at least a 3-foot clearing around the smoker. Grind out your cigarette, cigar, or pipe tobacco in the dirt. Never grind it on a stump or log. Never throw it away into the brush or leaves. It is unsafe to smoke while walking or riding a horse or trail bike because you never know where the ash will land. Use your ashtray while in your car.
Creating a 30 foot zone of fire-resistant space around your home will help prevent fires from starting near or spreading to your home. In addition, consider using fire resistant plants and landscaping that may help to protect your house from a wildfire. For more tips on how to better protect your home visit http://www.firewise.org.

Could the Grand Floridian finally get a DVC villas?
A permit application was filed with Orange County within the past week:
STOLport installation of trailer compound for Grand Floridian Villas project.
The STOLport is a former airplane landing strip located on the eastern side of the roadway leading up to the Transportation and Ticket Center. STOLport has been used numerous times in recent years as a staging area for Magic Kingdom-area projects including construction of the Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort.
Rumors of a Disney Vacation Club addition to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort emerged in March 2011 when Disney applied for permits with the South Florida Water Management District. The enigmatically-named "Project 2011-1" bears a striking resemblance to Disney Vacation Club villas in images and drawings accompanying the permit application.
Disney representatives would not confirm any immediate plans to expand the Grand Floridian Resort.

Hazleton Area's Eachus works out with Bears
Former Hazleton Area all-state running back Nate Eachus was one of seven players who worked out for the Chicago Bears Monday, according to a published report in the Chicago Tribune.
Others who worked out for the Bears at Halas Hall were running backs Javon Ringer and Phillip Tanner, quarterbacks Josh Freeman and Adam Weber, tight end Matthew Mulligan and long snapper Brad Madison.
A Drums native and 2008 Hazleton Area graduate, Eachus was an All-American running back at Colgate from 2008-12 before signing with the Kansas City Chiefs as a free agent. Eachus earned a spot on the Chiefs' 53-man roster to start the 2012 season thanks in part to some outstanding preseason performances running the football.
He started to turn heads with his blocking abilities as well, and worked his way into the starting lineup as the primary blocking back for Pro Bowl runner Jamaal Charles.
Eachus helped spring Charles to more than 1,500 rushing yards in 2012, a bright spot in the Chiefs' otherwise dismal 2-14 season. The season highlight came in Week 3, when Eachus helped clear the way for Charles' 233-yard performance in a 27-24 overtime win at New Orleans.
Eachus, who had five rushes for 18 yards and one catch for 19 yards, played in 11 games in 2012. He missed one game with a concussion and was inactive for the final four games of the season.
