That's the email I got from the Mets today. More than a dozen people I know tried and failed to win the right to buy tickets to any of the *four* games offered in this poor choice of method to allocate tickets. It's like the Mets made a conscious decision to prevent average fans from getting Opening Day tickets except through a scalper.
Think about it this way: With a lottery, you guarantee that eBay sellers and scalpers will sign up for the sole purpose of putting the tickets on the secondary market. Since the lottery signup is online, the barrier to entry is tiny (an internet connection and a credit card to buy tickets if you win the lottery) and there are no geographic hurdles (a reseller in Flushing can register as easily as one in Fargo). Because of the low cost of entering the lottery, resellers will enter many, many, many times, lowering the chance that any single Mets fan will win a chance to purchase tickets.
If, instead, every ticket the Mets wanted to sell for these games was put on the auction block, scalpers could still participate, but there would be little profit opporunity for them. That's because fans who want to go to the games would buy tickets at the "market clearing" price. Scalpers could try to bid $51,111,111 for dugout seats, but would be unable to resell them for more.
Using a lottery begs the question: Are the Mets trying to help out scalpers, or are they just too stupid to realize their mistake?

Maybe the potential for scalpers to get the tickets is an acceptable risk for the chance that some actual baseball fans can go to opening day. Auctions for such a highly sought after product would quickly reach price levels out of reach for many fans. By your logic, why not auction every single ticket to every game?

I had no problem with the system last year in the playoffs. I did not win btu I felt it was as fair as getting on line two days before or the random wrist band. Scalpers will get the tickets. Nothing you can do about it.

Yeah, looking out for the regular joes that can bid on two tickets that'll end up going to some richie-rich that can shell out $1000 to see one freaking baseball game. I can see it now...oh to dream.

But isn't that what's happening now anyway? Aren't scalpers already getting the tickets by entering the lottery dozens or hundreds of times? Aren't many fans already being pushed out by the high secondary market prices?
An auction would likely increase the price of tickets at the box office window, but it would also eliminate or greatly reduce the viability of the secondary market. That means the profit would go not to the scalpers, but to the Mets. In theory the Mets could put that money to use improving the team for the benefit of the fans, rather than lining the pockets of scalpers with it.

I won the lottery, and I'm ecstatic (I was shut out of every lottery held for playoff tix last season, so I know it sucks.)
Anyway, just wanted to tell you that I'll be buying tix to the Home Opener, and to two of the Yankees/Mets game. With regards to the Yankees/Mets series, I'll only be able to go to one game, so if you like, I'd sell you the other pair of tix for the day I don't go. I'm going to buy tix for Sat & Sun, and will know in April which day I can make it.
Email me if you're interested, firstname.lastname@example.com

Yeah, but the ones who win the lottery are not. So it really comes down to two options: either regular people have some chance to get tickets, and scalpers make a big profit by selling to big spenders, or just the big spenders have any chance to begin with, and the Mets, not the scalpers, profit. Neither option is perfect, but I think that the chance a regular guy could get a seat is pretty nice. Either way, I'm a Phils fan and you can only get Opening Day tickets here if you buy a season ticket or 6 game package ... not too unreasonable, but annoying nonetheless.

@ Metschick - thanks for the offer, but I'm never sure when I can get to a game (unless I take a vacation day from work, like I did on last year's opening day).
Back to the economics of tickets...
By distributing tickets via online lottery, the Mets KNOW that people will register just to scalp the seats. Every scalper that enters the lottery lowers my chance of getting a seat.
@ adit - Don't think for a second that the Mets are putting field-level box seats in the lottery. Because those are the only seats "richie-rich" is paying $1,000 for. You think a Wall Street banker will pay that much to sit in the upper deck? No way.
I would much rather have a fair chance at paying $50 for an upper deck seat in an auction held on February 22 than a microscopic chance of winning a chance to pay $25 through the lottery. At least, like an eBay auction, I would know how much *I* value attending Opening Day, and I could bid that high. If other people value it more, good for them!

Um, I'm really glad they had the lottery. I signed up, and won. I also won one of the playoff lotteries last year. If the Mets did not use this system, I would not have been able to get these tickets (b/c I would never pay "market clearing price" for any of these games).
Sure, scalpers enter these lotteries. But what I don't understand is why you seem to care whether the economic value extracted from selling tickets above face goes to the Mets or scalpers (maybe b/c if they Mets made more money they could invest in better players? But I don't think you are arguing that here.)
Ultimately, to me the question of which method is better is answered by which method ends up handing the most economic value to the fans. (Economic value here = value to end user of ticket less price paid by ticketholder).
Clearly, the lottery method is superior, b/c some percentage of tickets will be sold at face, i.e., below market value, directly to fans (with the rest going at scalper price level = market clearing price). In the auction method, all tickets will go at the market clearing price, which means that no fans will extract any economic value.
(Note: obviously this is a stylized example, assuming homogeneous valuation of Mets tickets across fans, but I think the point is still relevant even when this is not the case: no matter how you slice it, by selling some tickets at face, fans are bound to extract some economic value that they would not in an auction scenario.)
Finally, let's do a little thought experiment: exactly how many "scalpers" do you think there are that enter this lottery? Let's say there are 200,000 ticket scalpers who might be interested in the lottery. And how many times do you think each one will enter, _on average_ given likely registration requirements around unique email accounts, credit card numbers, etc? Now, exactly how many Mets fans do you think there are that might be interested in getting these tickets? Let's say there are 1 million fans who might be interested. And why might these fans, whose interest in getting sub-market price tickets would seem pretty high, be much less likely to enter multiple times relative to scalpers?
My point here: you and your friends were more likely victims of the numbers game relative to other fans rather than relative to scalpers. And remember, you can now pay the scalpers the market clearing price if you still want to go.
To summarize: from the fans' perspective, your argument makes no sense.
Now that's how you debate!

Ben, the original post responded to the Mets' announcement that the lottery was designed "to provide fans a fair and convenient way to purchase tickets from the limited availability" of these premium games.
Any ticket distribution that allows 200,000 non-fan entries (as per your estimate of scalpers) lessens the chance that any one fan (me!) will get a chance to buy tickets. That does not strike me as fair.
The same argument applies to the Mets' claim of "convenience." Of course I can now go through scalpers for tickets, but it would be more convenient for me to buy tickets through a Mets-run auction. That's true because, first, such a setup would let me see the entire ticket inventory on one site rather than the few tickets each scalper holds. Second, there's much convenience in knowing that buying tickets through the Mets guarantees the tickets' authenticity.
I agree with you that the lottery makes tickets cheaper for fans, but as I wrote back on February 9, it's only "fairer" and "more convenient" for the fans who win the lottery.
Thanks for reading.

I went to the first game of the NLDS last year as a lottery winner and I have to agree with what other commenters are saying. In such an especially sought after game, the "market clearing price" would keep many people, such as myself, out of the stadium. A lottery "guarantees nothing", true, but do you really want a system in which the most sought after games are attended by only the richest fans instead of mostly the richest fans? Personally, I prefer a system in which tickets are split between a lottery and a single box office (ensuring more of a safe bet for fans who really want to go and can spend time instead of money). The ones with expendable money can hire someone to wait in line.
And I am not eagerly anticipating what prices are going to look like at the new stadium, especially during the playoffs.

The lottery system is OK by me, but it needs fixing. If you sorted lottery entries by phone numbers or addresses that would lower the number of fraudulent entries and allow more people who actually want to attend the game to acquire tickets.

Open our pantry and you are sure to find a box of Cheerios®. Our whole family enjoys eating the familiar circular cereal with the hole in the middle. Perfect for breakfast, for snack time and trips, we like all the varieties but we usually buy Honey Nut. My parents regularly eat the MultiGrain kind.
Just recently we tried out the newest option, Banana Nut Cheerios®. The cereal is flavored with real banana and natural banana and nut flavors, according to the box. Like other Cheerios varieties it is a good source of calcium and Vitamin D, made with whole grain and most importantly, may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Now, I'm a big fan of bananas. I even add bananas to my cereal. I also LOVE banana bread, banana muffins, pretty much banana anything. The Banana Nut Cheerios® went over with both kids pretty well. They ate their servings plain, without milk during snack time. Both my husband and I ate ours with milk. The cereal definitely has a sweet banana taste, but the nut flavoring isn't very prominent. That's OK by me though, since I'm not a huge nut lover. If you like sweet, banana flavored products, you'll probably like this new variety of cereal. Try it out for yourself and see what you think! If you visit Cheerios.com, you can access a 55 cent printable coupon.
See the banana tree pictured to the right? I've always wanted a banana tree, and now I have one thanks General Mills and MyBlogSpark. Here's your chance to get one, too. General Mills has kindly offered to give three (3) Brimful Curiosities readers an awesome Banana Nut Cheerios® gift basket. The Banana Nut Cheerios® Gift basket includes a coupon for Banana Nut Cheerios, a banana tree with fruit basket, two cereal bowls and a bread loaf pan.

Pagan Paths
You've heard of Pagans who are naturalists, humanists, atheists, agnostics, or the like, but what's it all about? Discover the wonder of a naturalistic path rooted in science and myth.
The "Pagan" question, Beyond belief-blindness
If the "Pagan" question - i.e. who's Pagan and who isn't - were a political issue, it would decide elections. It's grown that large. It's come to a point where posts don't just reference others, they form catalogs of references to others. It's even spurred sub-issues: the "Christo-Pagan" question and the "Atheist Pagan" question (I have an obvious vested interest in the latter).
But in all this endless talk, few seem to have the balls to say in no uncertain terms what's really going on:
It's about kicking people out.
This isn't about labels
The question seems to be, on the face of it, about labels. It's about what it means to be "Pagan", if anything. The label gets analyzed, dissected, and pulled apart. But that's just a facade.
Underneath lies a clash in our collective conscience, an ugly truth we don't want to acknowledge. There's a painful cognitive dissonance coming from holding two mutually contradictory beliefs about ourselves:
- We don't police others' beliefs.
- We must police others' beliefs (if our community is to have any integrity).
Eating our tails
We are a community choking on our own relativism. Like the serpent Ouroboros trying to encircle everything, we've been eating our own tail for too long, and it's starting to hurt.
We always knew we were diverse in beliefs, but somehow at small scales it was okay. We told ourselves beliefs didn't matter. We made jokes like "I'm a theist on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and an atheist on Tuesdays and Thursdays." And we thought we were being sincere. Well, the "Pagan" question shows we still have some issues to work through. It turns out saying beliefs don't matter is kinda like denying racism by saying you're "color blind." We shouldn't be "belief blind"; we should embrace difference. Beliefs do matter to us.
When we come across others who believe radically different than we do, it feels like the bond is breaking. We want to say they're not Pagan, but then remember we're not supposed to police others' beliefs, and end up sputtering long-winded analyses of what it means to be "Pagan." Don't get me wrong - analyses are useful, and I'm as analytically-oriented as any other, but in this case I think we just need to say what we mean: we feel deeply uncomfortable, and don't know what to do about it.
I certainly haven't been blameless in this respect; I've felt that frustration, and made some mistakes as a result. I've also attempted to learn from my mistakes, and push toward something better.
We have crafted a community of "whatever works." We have posed ourselves as nondogmatic. We have championed orthopraxy, or shared practice, over orthodoxy, or shared belief. I have personally lauded this as amazing, a rare and precious thing in contemporary religion. But is it sustainable? The current debate over the "Pagan" question calls it into doubt.
So what can we do?
There are a few sensible ways out of the dilemma.
Option 1. Bow out from the label
One is to take the minimally exclusive approach, excluding only yourself from the label. Heathens have long since rejected the "Pagan" identifier, and those moving to the "polytheist" label are doing the same. I respect and applaud their intellectual integrity.
Option 2. Learn to exclude
Another sensible response is to give up our non-exclusionary ideals, and take a more realistic view of the Pagan community. Instead of trying to embody the antithesis of monotheist exclusionism by including everything, we can humbly learn to exclude some things. If, in the end, majority consensus were to decide to exclude me, I honestly wouldn't lose that much sleep over it. I'd just keep on doing what I was doing under a different label.
Option 3. Re-envision solidarity
A third and final option, probably the most difficult of all, but the most promising, is to re-envision what we hold in common. This must begin, first of all, by an honest and thorough rejection of false-consensus bias. We do differ in beliefs, and beliefs do matter. Second, after that admission, we must discover what it is that we do hold in common. I recently interviewed Jason Pitzl-Waters about this whole issue, and this is what he said:
"Community isn't about unity, it's about solidarity."
In that brief statement I sense an inchoate resonance. Solidarity, not unity. If we can come to a point where that collectively makes sense to us, then we'll have achieved something.
Beyond "belief blindness"
So, where does this leave us? I suspect a simple, six-point perspective can help us get over this hump and headed toward solidarity.
- Beliefs matter.
- We can talk about beliefs.
- We can talk about each other's beliefs.
- We will differ.
- That's okay.
- Because something else solidifies us, so let's figure out what that is
If we can manage such a perspective, then we can get on to the real work of forging solidarity. We won't feel others are " "stealing" our gods, posing some "militant, evangelical" threat, or promoting some kind of Calvinistic "orthodoxy." We won't arrogantly suppose others exist at our grace as our "clown-skeptics." Nor will we pretend to be "belief blind."
Rather, we'll stand side-by-side, a true community.
A plea
Finally, let me conclude with an appeal to both naturalists and non-naturalists alike:
Please, don't call me an "Atheist Pagan." Yes, I'm technically an atheist, but that's not how I identify. A fair number do answer to that label, but I don't, and here's why:
First, when you use that term, the first thing people think is "no gods" and the next thing is "not Pagan", which leads into the whole "Pagan" question. But it's all much ado about nothing: I do in fact work with deities, as do many other Naturalistic Pagans like me; we simply differ from theists in what we believe about them.
Second, atheism is too often associated with a moral judgment that religion is bad. That makes it rather awkward to stand side-by-side with your co-religionists. Personally, I think religion does a great deal of good; I just happen to believe differently about some aspects of it than others.
In the end, you may still disagree about whether we so-called atheists (I prefer "naturalists") are "Pagan" enough, but please at least take the time to learn what we believe and why we do ritual before making your decision.

Well said. Personally, "solidarity, not unity" makes perfect sense to me. But I was active in Green politics long before I came to understand Green religion. That may have something to do with it: I think it's a sensible political stance. Perhaps it makes less sense in a strictly religious-philosophical context.

"There's a painful cognitive dissonance coming from holding two mutually contradictory beliefs about ourselves: (1) We don't police others' beliefs. (2) We must police others' beliefs (if our community is to have any integrity). ... We are a community choking on our own relativism."
Wow! You said it, B.T.!
The idea of pursuing solidarity is intriguing, but I think it needs to be teased out more. Jason defined the "solidarity" as "seeing some kind of relationship and having common goals". So what common goals do you think naturalists and polytheists and other Pagans might embrace?
I have to disagree about the side point you made about orthopraxy though. I think the notion that Pagans are orthopraxic dates back to the Wicca-centric days, when everyone cast a circle and called the quarters, but believed different things about the gods they invoked. In my experience, there is even less orthopraxy among Pagans today than orthodoxy.
Thursday, 14 March 2013
>So what common goals do you think naturalists and polytheists and other Pagans might embrace?
I think you hit the nail on the head in your response article "Straight Talk About the Pagan Identity Crisis." You point to respectability in the eyes of the mainstream as a common goal. That's what I would say is the biggest part.
Secondly, it seems to me that being rooted in or drawing inspiration from ancient Pagan religious or philosophical traditions ought to be a shared goal, even if not everyone wants to reconstruct the old ways per se.
>the notion that Pagans are orthopraxic dates back to the Wicca-centric days, when everyone cast a circle and called the quarters
Very interesting. That may have been a major factor. I think there is still a real sense of orthopraxy to be found beyond that, though. Even in ancient Greece and Rome, it was mainly orthopraxic. It's not that beliefs didn't matter at all, but it simply wasn't a looming factor.

Family of man shot by Madison police release letter to chief, DA
Paul Heenan was killed Nov. 9
MADISON, Wis. — The investigation is ongoing in the shooting death of Madison musician Paul Heenan, but the family of the victim wants answers sooner rather than later.
Speaking from her home in North Carolina 36 days after her brother died, Heenan's sister Emily says the officer who shot Heenan should be fired. She also questions the manner in which police have released information.
"You know, this could've happened to anyone," said Emily Heenan. "But it happened to my brother."
"I'll never be able to look at a police officer the same again," Emily continued.
Emily Heenan is driven to share her concerns about the case with the entire Madison community, and specifically with Police Chief Noble Wray and District Attorney Ismael Ozanne.
WISC-TV obtained the letter Heenan wrote (PDF) to the two city leaders on December 6.
In it, Heenan writes that the "lack of transparent facts in the case represents a problem for our community."
She also points out that it took the police department several days, four in fact, to confirm Paul was not a burglar but a neighbor in the wrong house, despite that fact being known by the first officers on the scene.
"The time that it took to clear his name should give all of us a cause for reflection," said Heenan. "We want an honest and forthcoming police department, not one that manipulates the release of facts in order to protect its public image."17810230
The incident happened early Friday, November 9. It wasn't until Monday that police first answered any questions on camera from the media.
Chief Wray initially laid out what he called a "deadly force situation," during which Madison police officer Steven Heimsness saw two men "grappling and struggling" and thought the homeowner was struggling with a burglar. The officer said he ordered both to the ground. The homeowner dropped, but Heenan did not.
Heimsness said Heenan grabbed him and reached for his gun, after which he pulled the trigger three times, with all of the shots hitting Heenan, killing him.
"I didn't believe it," Heenan's sister now says. "There's no way. There's no way he could have gone for a gun. He hated guns. He was afraid of guns. He was scared of guns."
"I'm sure he was drunk," continued Heenan. "A lot of people get drunk in Madison. I was a UW student. I saw how people can drink downtown and stumble home. And people will stumble around and be confused and stupid and drunk but they don't get shot. They don't get shot by police officers, but they could. It could have been anybody."
In her letter, Emily Heenan urges the community to ask the tough questions, including does the Madison Police Department have a clean record in using lethal force or "do the powers that be just have a policy of giving the police officers involved the benefit of the doubt?"
Of Heimsness, Heenan says bluntly, "he should be fired."
"I hope the community will never forget this," she continues. "And I hope that they will remember this every time that they have to call the police."
Emily Heenan says she also wants people to remember Paul Heenan as kind and gentle, and she vows to keep fighting for her brother's name.
If she could speak to her brother now, Emily says, "Well, I would tell him that I love him. And I would tell him that I'm going to be strong and I will, and I will be strong and I will get the truth out about this. And I won't let him down."
In response, Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne told WISC-TV that he had not seen the letter, but he said that even if he had, he said he could not comment on an open investigation.
The DA has yet to decide if he will clear Officer Heimsness of any wrongdoing in that shooting.
The Madison police chief said Monday that he will respond directly to the criticism from the Heenan family but that it will not happen through the media.
On Monday, Joel DeSpain, spokesman for the Madison Police Department, said that police "released information on this case as quickly as we had sufficient facts."
Wray said he plans on addressing the family's letter and concerns once the investigation is complete.
Here follows the letter written by Emily Heenan:
December 6, 2012
Chief Noble Wray
City of Madison
Police Department
211 S. Carroll St.
Madison, WI 53703
Ismael R. Ozanne
Dane County District Attorney
Dane County Courthouse
215 S. Hamilton St. #3000
Madison WI 53703-3297
Dear Chief Wray and District Attorney Ozanne:
My name is Emily Heenan. On November 9th, 2012, my brother Paul Heenan was shot and killed by a Madison police officer. Although I am still grieving, I believe it is time that I speak and to share some of my thoughts and concerns with the entire community.
I have been given to understand that the District Attorney's office will soon render a decision on whether criminal charges will be filed in this case, and the Police Department will also have to decide whether to pursue disciplinary action against the officer involved. To my knowledge, never in the history of the Madison Police Department has the District Attorney decided a police officer's decision to use lethal force was worthy of prosecution. It is my hope that the District Attorney's review of this particular case is free of all political influences, financial considerations, and historical biases.
The lack of transparent facts in this case represents a problem for our community. The rate at which facts were revealed to the media by the MPD allowed a certain amount of slander to be spread about my brother. The MPD claimed that a full investigation was needed to establish facts which were actually already apparent at the scene. For instance, it was not until several days after the shooting that the MPD confirmed to the media that my brother was not a burglar. That fact was known to the first officers on the scene who talked to the neighbor trying to take my brother home, Kevin O'Malley. The time that it took to clear his name should give all of us cause for reflection. We want an efficient, honest and forthcoming police department, not one that manipulates the release of facts in order to protect its public image. It is my sincere hope that the communication procedures currently followed by the MPD are adjusted in order to remedy this issue.
As a community, I believe we need to ask these hard questions. Does the MPD have a perfect record in justified use of lethal force resulting in death, or do the powers that be just have a policy of giving the police officers involved the benefit of the doubt? Many of us have made mistakes without meaning harm, whether or not it was after a long day. We all make mistakes in one form or another. But the death of my brother, probably the most harmless person to walk the streets of Madison in this century, wasn't just a mistake; it was a failure of the officer involved and, in particular, of his ability to make safe and quick decisions. It was a failure of his training and the policies associated with that training. Finally, the media should have been prepared to ask questions for our community, not just about this one tragedy, but about the procedures and policies of the MPD that may have contributed to it.
In order to rebuild the trust between the community and the MPD, it seems to me that all relevant questions must be answered and several steps must be taken. The MPD must unequivocally demonstrate that it is doing its absolute best to ensure that all of its police officers work to fulfill the MPD mission and uphold all of its core values at all times. I hope that the office of the District Attorney also understands that whatever decision is made, it will greatly impact the community and the public's perception of the MPD. People should not have to be afraid to call the police, but if the decisions made in this case send the message that what happened to my brother was appropriate and proper in the eyes of our law enforcement authorities, many members of our community will never feel safe asking the police for help again.
I feel that it is my duty to speak out so that the community and the media hear me loud and clear. The pain and awkwardness of a criminal prosecution of, and disciplinary proceedings against, the officer involved will be worth it ten times over if our city is made safer by it.
Emily M Heenan

SUNY Canton Schedules Summer-Long Footbridge ProjectThursday, May 31st, 2012
SUNY Canton is updating its bridges with scenic timber-framed covered walkways.
The footbridges spanning the Grasse River and connecting the College to Downtown Canton will be unavailable beginning at 7 a.m. on Monday, June 4. Pedestrian access to the area will be unavailable during the project. The estimated completion date is August 10, shortly before the start of the Fall 2012 Semester.
"The new bridges will add to the atmosphere of the walking paths and islands bordering our campus," said SUNY Canton President Joseph L. Kennedy. "We've selected a design similar to the pedestrian bridge spanning the Kicking Horse River in Golden, British Columbia (Canada)."
The footbridge replacement project is one of approximately seven ongoing construction undertakings currently underway at SUNY Canton. All projects are slated to make the campus more attractive, more educationally accommodating and more energy efficient.
The College's footbridges were opened alongside the campus in the late 1960s. They have served as an identifiable landmark specific to the SUNY Canton and inspire fond memories for many alumni.
Murnane Building Contractors, Inc., will be building the bridge and C&S Engineers, Inc., provided consulting services. Both companies have worked with the College previously. Murnane is currently overseeing renovations to Wicks Hall, and C&S is currently involved with exterior renovations of Heritage and Rushton Residence Halls and was involved with the Grasse River Suites Residence Hall and the new Convocation, Athletic, and Recreation Center, nicknamed Roos House.
Media inquiries should be directed to Gregory Kie, Media Relations Manager, or call 315/386-7527.

Tips For Flying
Welcome to the Miami ARTCC's Virtual Airspace on VATSIM! We're glad you've chosen to fly our skies. We're extra delighted that you've elected to take a look at the tips we've compiled for flying in our airspace and into or out of our airports.
In order to keep the skies and our airports safe and collision-free, governing bodies such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have spent countless resources developing rules, procedures, and best-practices that govern the movement of aircraft from departure gate to arrival gate. As an Air Traffic Control organization, we train our controllers to follow those procedures developed by the FAA as closely as possible in our virtual environment. Our trained controllers, however, are only half of the equation. In order for ATC and pilots to effectively work together, the pilots should also be following applicable rules and best-practices.
While basic pilot procedures are beyond the scope of this document, we have compiled a number of tips which are aimed at not only answering questions about our airspace, but pointing out the most common mistakes that pilots make when interacting with our controllers.
We hope that you find this to be a valuable and useful resource, and welcome any feedback you may have.
Quick Links
General Tips
Here are a few general tips which are applicable in all airspace on VATSIM.
Have Charts Available
There's no excuse for not having up-to-date charts when flying in the United States. They are all publicly available at the following two websites:
Know how to control your aircraft
With the speeds at which modern aircraft move, it's important that you are familiar with the controls of your plane and how to operate them. This is especially true when it comes to headings, altitudes, and air speeds. When the controller gives you a heading to fly or an altitude to hold at, there's usually a very good reason. You should be able to execute these instructions without a problem. We are aware that this can be difficult to do manually, thus at an absolute minimum, you should be intimately familiar with your autopilot.
Calm Wind Runways
Each of the major airports in the Miami ARTCC have runways that will be used if the wind is calm or less than 5 knots in any direction. See the Airport Information page for more details on all airports. Listed below are the calm-wind runways for a few of Miami's major airports:
East Operations
Class Bravo Airspace
Runways 8R & 9 (8L & 12 until 22:00 ET)
Class Bravo Airspace
North Operations
Runways 1R & 1L
Class Charlie Airspace
East Operations
Runways 10L & 10R
Class Charlie Airspace
East Operations
Runways 10L & 10R
Class Charlie Airspace
East Operations (Until 22:00 ET)
North Operations
Runway 6 (until 22:00 ET)
Runway 32
Use voice instead of text if available
Since Miami is a popular destination for South American and Carribean pilots, we see a lot of pilots who have voice capability, but chose not to use it. Perhaps this is because their English isn't perfect, or the controller is talking too fast. If you let the controller know that he needs to speak slowly, he will be happy to accommodate you. I'll be candid about this: Providing ATC services via text places an additional load on the controller, especially when things are busy. Unless you have a physical disability or mitigating circumstance, we kindly request that you use voice rather than text.
"Fly then reply" … especially for "text pilots"
When issued instructions by a controller, begin executing those instructions immediately, preferably before the controller is even done speaking. This is true in the real world, and should be true on VATSIM as well. For text pilots, this is particularly important as it may take several seconds to type your response.
Keep radio communications as short as possible
Not everything must be repeated back to the controller. It is almost never appropriate to repeat wind or altimeter settings. For example, if the controller says "Delta 1234, Miami altimeter 30.12, wind 080 at 5, runway 8R, cleared for takeoff". You only need to respond "Cleared for takeoff 8R, Delta 1234". This is an unusual example as altimeter is rarely given at takeoff unless it has changed, but you can get the idea.
Private Messages
Please do not use private messages (PMs) to ask what runway you'll be assigned, or for obtaining a clearance, or for any other ATC-related purpose. These things should be carried out on frequency.
Pushback and Taxiing
Always check to see if ATC is online before moving your aircraft. If ATC is on, be sure to contact the controller before pushback or taxi. Follow taxi instructions carefully, including routing.
Slewing and Replaying
Please be aware that slewing or "playing back" that perfect landing while connected to VATSIM causes this action to occur on your controllers' scopes as well. You may cause a crash or at the very least, interfere with the controller. Please make sure to disconnect before slewing or using the playback function.
"Roger" and "Roger That"
First, "Roger That" is never appropriate phraseology. It doesn't mean anything to the controller, who is likely to repeat what he just said in order to get a more firm response. "Roger" is appropriate under a few circumstances, but never in response to instructions. "Roger" only means that you heard what the controller said. It doesn't carry any additional connotation such as your willingness or ability to comply.
Flight Levels
In the United States, Flight Levels start at FL180 and go upwards. For foreign pilots, this means that the Transition Altitude is 18,000ft and the Transition Level is FL180. We will adjust the "lowest usable flight level" as pressure changes so that there is a buffer zone between high and low aircraft. When speaking to your controller, using the term "FL120" means nothing to him since there is no such thing.
Speed Limits
In the United States, the maximum indicated airspeed below 10,000ft is 250 knots. In the unusual case where you need to exceed 250kts under 10,000 in order to reach a minimum clean speed, you should notify your tower or approach controller as early as possible.
Any flight that you intend to undertake as a pilot begins with good planning. Departing out of the Miami ARTCC is no exception. This means that you should have your charts available and be prepared to fly a Standard Instrument Departure (SID) or Departure Procedure (DP) if assigned. Better yet, you should select a SID or DP and file it in your flight plan.
Departure Gates
Flights departing from KMIA, KFLL, or KTPA that have not filed a SID or DP will be initially routed to one of several departure gates. As stated in our Pilot FAQ, this is done to separate departing traffic from arriving traffic and traffic patterns associated with nearby airports. Below is a list of Departure Gates with their respective airports:
If you are confused as to which departure gate to use, you might try looking on FlightAware to see if there is a pre-made route for your flight. FlightAware is good for finding a route anytime your departure and destination are within the United States.
Your Clearance
Your departure clearance will always come in the same order. In fact, there's a "format" to it. Once you know what to expect, you can efficiently copy and read back a clearance.
The order of clearances is beyond the scope of this document, however we've identified an excellent resource for learning how to do this here.
When using a SID or DP, it is important to read the textual notations on the DP for items like altitude restrictions. For example, all of the DPs leaving KMIA say "Maintain 5000 or assigned ATC altitude. Expect further clearance to filed altitude within 10 minutes after departure". Because nearly nobody actually reads this, we always make it a part of our clearance. It is your job to jot down this altitude restriction and not exceed 5000ft when you depart. When you read your clearance back, we would appreciate it if you would read back the intermediate altitude so that we know you got it.
Taxi and Departure
The most common problem we experience at this phase is people moving their aircraft without contacting the ground controller (or the person who is providing ground services). When you do this, you can cause a collision or interrupt the flow of traffic.
Once instructed to taxi, be sure to read back all hold-short instructions. If you don't read back the part about "Hold short of runway xx", we will have to ask you to read it back. This is true in the real world, and is true here at the Miami ARTCC.
Also during your taxi, you must squawk "Mode C" at some airports. This includes KMIA, KFLL, and KTPA. These three airports use a technology called "Airport Surveillance Detection Equipment", and squawking Mode C during taxiing is required.
When you approach the departure end of the runway, you need not wait for the ground controller to "hand you off" to the tower controller. You just call tower. There is no need to say goodbye to the ground controller.
This is one of the very few instances where you simply switch frequencies without an explicit instruction to do so. If you happen to see an aircraft close to landing on the runway you are planning to depart from, it does no good to call the controller and tell him you are ready to go. This will only result in the controller having to tell you to hold short. In this case, wait until the aircraft passes over the numbers and then call. You'll likely be told to "Line up and wait".
One item that bears mentioning is that jets and turboprops are expected to be ready for immediate departure at the end of the runway. If you aren't ready, you will almost certainly disrupt the flow of traffic.
When given clearance for takeoff, you are expected to enter the runway and begin your takeoff roll immediately. Any delay may result in a cancellation of your takeoff clearance, or worse, a landing aircraft will be required to go around.
Once airborne, fly runway heading or ATC-assigned heading until given further instructions. The only exceptions to this are:
- The controller gives you a different heading to fly prior to your takeoff roll, or
- If your SID or DP gives a different heading to fly, or
- You are on an RNAV DP that does NOT require vectors to the first fix. In this case, you simply fly the RNAV DP from wheels-up (since you've already been cleared on the DP)
Do not forget to level off at the intermediate altitude given in your clearance if you haven't been cleared to a higher altitude. Also, it is unnecessary to let the controller know you are airborne, unless you have reason to believe that he/she has forgotten about you.
When departing in a turbojet aircraft, you should not put the throttle to the firewall. Most jets depart using an N1 setting of 92% or thereabouts. We often see very large aircraft which are airborne after 1000ft of runway and have achieved their intermediate altitude in a matter of a few seconds. This is completely unrealistic.
In the United States, the maximum indicated airspeed under 10,000ft is 250kts. You are expected to adhere to this regulation.
Finally, we'd like to address non-RNAV SIDS from KMIA and KFLL. These SIDS depict several departure gate fixes which are identified by radials from ground-based transmitters called VORs. When you file one of these SIDS, you are saying that you know how to intercept a radial and fly to the fix. We see about 60% of pilots who are told "Fly heading 320, join the WINCO transition" go direct to WINCO. In this case, you should fly heading 320 until you've intercepted the radial, and THEN turn on course to the fix. Flying anything other than the heading you've been assigned is absolutely incorrect and in the real world, might result in your pilot privileges being suspended. If you re not familiar with VOR navigation, you should not file a non-RNAV departure. Charles Wood has an excellent Tutorial on VOR navigation for those interested.
When arriving to a Miami ARTCC airport, we want to get you there in the most expeditious way possible. Here are a few tips that'll help speed things along.
When possible, file and fly a Standard Instrument Arrival Route (STAR). This really makes the controller's job easier. Sometimes, we see aircraft whose last known fix is actually outside of our airspace and they are simply proceeding direct to the airport. The controller must now "manually" descend the aircraft and provide vectors to the approach sector entry points. This really does put an extra burden on him, and for no good reason.
Your arrival runway
Please do not contact the CTR controller asking what runway you'll be assigned. It's not his airspace, and he won't know. Even if he is providing approach services to the airport you are arriving at, he won't know what runway you'll be assigned until you've reached the approach sector, which is usually 35 to 50 miles from the airport. This is normally where the approach controller takes over, and gives you the local altimeter setting as well as an expected runway. See the Enroute section for more on this subject.
The Approach
The approach controller will always tell you what approach to expect. If you are unable to accept the assigned approach or you simply want a different approach, you should let the controller know as soon as possible.
When flying a visual approach, you should still tune the localizer if available, as you may be told to intercept it. It is important to remember that a visual approach is an Instrument (IFR) procedure conducted in visual conditions. Tuning the localizer gives you some backup that you're in the right place.
Finally, it's important to keep in mind that the approach sector is dynamic. We might change runways on you if it will serve to get you and/or others down quicker. It's good to keep your charts handy, and even tune the localizer for other runways in your backup NAV radio, just in case. The approach controller will really appreciate it if you are prepared for such eventualities.
Whether you are overflying, departing, or arriving in the Miami ARTCC airspace, you'll almost certainly talk to one of our enroute controllers. These controllers have the responsibility of keeping you separated from other aircraft by at least 1000ft vertically and 5 miles laterally.
If you are flying with your VA and you have more than one aircraft flying together, we ask that you enter our airspace (if from uncontrolled airspace) with 10 miles separation between you and your company traffic. This will really help, and keeps us from having to issue speed restrictions or change your altitudes.
Our Enroute controllers encounter quite a number of "AFK" pilots when they first sign on. This is to be expected and we will usually give you several minutes before we attempt to contact you a second time. Please remember that the VATSIM code of conduct gives you a maximum of 30 minutes during your enroute phase to be away. This is an absolute maximum and we ask that you monitor your flight more often that this.
Finally, if you are arriving at a Miami ARTCC airport, we ask that you do not call the CTR controller and ask what runway you'll be assigned. As states in our pilot FAQ and in several other places in this document, the approach sector does not belong to the CTR controller. He will not likely know what runway you'll be assigned. You will get this information when you arrive at the approach sector, which is normally about 35 to 50 miles from the airport. You can get a good idea of what runways are active though, if there's an ATIS posted. Failing that, try typing ".metar KMIA" into your radio box. You can get the winds from this and determine in what general direction aircraft will be landing and departing.

Skin lesion aspiration is the withdrawal of fluid from a skin lesion (sore).
A needle is inserted into a skin lesion or skin abscess, which may contain fluid or pus. The fluid may be examined under the microscope or placed in a special laboratory dish (called a culture medium), where it will be watched for the growth of microorganisms.
There is no special preparation for this test.
If the abscess is deep, the health care provider may inject a numbing medicine (anesthetic) into the skin before inserting the needle.
You may feel a pricking sensation as the needle enters the skin.
In many cases, the removal of fluid will decrease the pressure within the irritates skin sore, and relieve your pain.
This test is used to help determine the cause of a fluid-filled skin lesion. It can be used to diagnose skin infections.
Abnormal results may be a sign of a bacterial or fungal skin infection.
There is a slight risk of bleeding, mild pain, or infection.

Hi Jhmiller
how can i change the script the Banana Pi M series it is not possible to install Sersors it only works with the output: cat / sys / class / thermal / thermal_zone0 / temp
this is similar to the Raspi. Thank you
You can not install it or it does not work one installed?
If it does install, what do you see if you type "sensors" in a shell?
Sensor does not work, No sensors found, sensors-detect does not work either
the only option is cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
I doubt that I would be able to make it work with the plugin. You may be able to set something up manually. There is a guide somewhere on the forums about setting up graphs.
Hi Jhmiller,
where can i dwl the pyload module for omv 3.x ?
Thank you
On the topic of Plex-Plugin 1.0.13 (with PlexPy) - it appears that the plugin does not consider python a prereq. So on a base install, PlexPy doesn't work. However, once python is installed and the service is rebooted - it works fine. So I would assume you just need to add Python as a prereq to the plug in. THanks!
I´ve tested the plexpy source code, I cannot get it to work, the server runs fine, but does not show in the menu any longer, and plexpy does not work either.
can u tell me again how to update sab i am pushing update button but nothing seems to happen .do i have to do it in putty

On Wednesday's edition of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," the late-night host wasted no time razzing Vice President Biden on his public speaking gaffes.
"I think dirty jokes should be an official duty of the Vice President," Kimmel said in his opening monologue, referencing Biden's recent address to the National Council of La Raza in Las Vegas.
On Tuesday, Vice President Biden addressed a gathering of 1,800 Latino activists, telling them about his upbringing in a multigenerational household.
Local news from across Southern California
"It was wonderful for children, by the way, having your grandpop live with you, I mean your great aunt, your uncle, for real," Biden said to the crowd. "Those walls were awful thin, I wondered how the hell my parents did it, but that's a different story!"
Kimmel, lauding the vice president's knack for saying "nutty things when he speaks in public," joked that Biden started putting his hidden talent to good use.
"He's even figured out a way to capitalize on it, to raise money for their campaign," Kimmel said, before throwing to a montage of Biden's best gaffes, dubbing it the "Joe Biden: VP of Comedy Tour."
Including clips of Biden's "big stick" remark to his "three letter word" blunder, Kimmel hit his point home that perhaps jokes really should be an official duty of the Vice President.
Check out the clip for the full monologue:

Masks are the Armageddon equivalent of Ed Hardy shirts.
I get the Cyberpunk side of this, but I don't get how it relates to Armageddon.Spell it out?
The streets and their inhabitants are central to cyberpunk Armageddon. It's the powerless who suffer most in the kind of authoritarian regimes cyperpunk fiction Armageddon depicts, and games could do with getting back to the idea that the rebels, misfits, vandals, and people who can't afford a plate of spaghetti skin of water matter.
Ah well you should just kill those PCs. They're not worth the time of plotting creatively against.
I get it now. Yeah, I totally agree.Everyone's a noble, a noble's aide, or some high falootin' varmint. I'm going to put the grit back in the gritty.
I've come to the conclusion that relaxing is not the lack of doing anything, but doing something that comes easily to you.
You want grittier, get rid of the possibility for anything but.
If you want grittier, start acting grittier. No one says a noble or their aide has to be all frills and lace and soft smiles. Play one that isn't. Hire an aide that isn't. Don't suggest that the very option to play someone who isn't the epitome of grit and spittle should be removed.
But if some guy comes in and says "I'm Boss Grebber, chieftain of the Dirty Bottom Boys" then what's not to like about that guy?Or I guess we can just have more aides sitting at the bar cooing at each other.
http://www.pcgamer.com/its-time-for-cyberpunk-games-to-remember-how-to-be-punk/This seems relevant in may ways to Armageddon's changes over the years.
I would love to see that balance change a bit.

At approximately 5:30 p.m. Sunday, Israeli security forces began searching for a man suspected of injuring a 25 year old Israeli near the Ariel settlement in the West Bank.
Witnesses also claim that a Palestinian woman was shot and killed by Israeli border police in Hebron Sunday afternoon.
Ma'an News Agency has recorded an eyewitness as saying "occupation soldiers covered a young Palestinian woman who was lying on the ground bleeding without giving her medical aid at all, before an ambulance arrived and took her."
The Israel Police Foreign Press Spokesperson claimed that the woman attempted to stab a police officer before she was shot.
The incident comes after a Palestinian man was shot and critically injured by an Israeli settler near the village of Sa'ir in the Hebron governorate late Sunday morning.
Ma'an News Agency has described Israeli reports which claim a Palestinian man attempted to stab a settler; the settler then reportedly shot Azzam Azmi Shalalda, 20, after the man suspected of the knife attack had fled the scene.
The mayor of Sa'ir said that seven Palestinian residents of the village were shot and injured by Israeli forces during a raid following the incident.
Earlier Sunday morning, a 13 year old Palestinian was shot and injured by Israeli forces during clashes in the village of Hizma, near Ramallah.
The boy was shot by live ammunition in both his cheek and left shoulder.
At least 57 Palestinians have now been killed by Israeli forces since Oct.1.

Naming No-No's
When I begin a name-development project, I'm open to all possibilities that are relevant to my client's objectives. After all, I'm aiming to develop not one name but a list of 250 or so from which I can identify 15 to 20 strong candidates.
Still, there are words and word parts I avoid — and if you're naming your own product or company, I recommend you avoid them, too.
Why? Because they're nomenclature clichés, leached of meaning by rampant overuse. Choose them at your peril: they'll blend into the brand landscape and confuse your customers. They may even run the risk of a trademark challenge.
I must pause here to acknowledge with regret that I have good friends and colleagues whose business names include words from the No-No List. They are smart, hard-working people, and I wish them well. I also wish they'd consulted me before going over to the dark side.
You, however, can benefit from their mistakes! Here are the top ten words to steer clear of when considering a business name.
360: It's panoramic in more ways than one. Unfortunately, "360 degrees of X" really is all over. It's been grabbed by almost every category of enterprise, from a radio show (Studio 360) to a beverage (Vodka 360) to a global photography site (360 Cities) to a series of "brain-training games" (Mind 360). Then there are the big guns: Yahoo 360° and Xbox 360. Step away from the globe and find a fresher, more distinctive metaphor to tell your story.
Cast: Since the birth of the Internet, companies have vied to represent themselves as the broadcast revolution. But it's hard to sound like the new new thing when so many companies have claimed cast in their names: Comcast, Flycast, Farecast, Fancast, Socialcast, Edgecast, Quantcast, Cellcast, Sharpcast. It really is a cast of thousands.
Catalyst: Yes, we know you're an agent of change. So are your competitors. Putting catalyst in your name won't distinguish you from them or tell me how you're going to improve my life. Words like catalyst describe you from the inside rather than from the outside, where your customers are. Besides, everyone who had trouble with high school chemistry will feel slightly panicked about what catalyst really means. Something to do with enzymes? Will it be on the test?
Flux: Remember the flux capacitor in Back to the Future? So do a lot of folks who were teenagers when the movie came out in 1985. But what seemed cool back then is a bad naming idea now. For starters, there are 122 trademarks for flux in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office database. (A sampling: Mega-Flux, PureFlux, Flux Studios, NovaFlux, Thermaflux, Channelflux,UltraFlux. There's even a Flux Deluxe.) Second, flux sounds unlovely in English, especially when forced into awkward coinages such as Fluxiom. Finally, there's a meaning problem. Yes, flux suggests flow. It's also a medical synonym for diarrhea. Run, don't walk, from this word.
Hub: It's short and it means "center point." Perfect for a business you want to position as central to your customers' lives, right? That's what SecureHub, BidHub, BuildHub, HomeHub, EzyHub, and many other companies thought, too. In my opinion, only the ticket seller StubHub — with that catchy, memorable rhyme — does hub right. All the others are just spokes.
Share: Share is to the interactive Web 2.0 what cast was to the original Web's one-way channel. We're all exchanging information now, so how better to express the concept? Plenty of ways, actually. But lazy naming practices have given rise to the lion's share of names like SlideShare, BubbleShare, ConceptShare, ShareMeme, ShareNow, ShareThis... and, not surprisingly, many LionShare companies and products. As we learned in kindergarten, to share is good. But too much share is bad.
Shift: I put the blame on paradigm shift, which Thomas Kuhn coined in 1962 to express a revolutionary scientific advance. Now, however, shift turns up in many nonscientific contexts where it's as meaningless as catalyst. What's more, if not enunciated very carefully, shift can sound... well, scatological. The most unfortunate example is DeepShift, an actual company "created to provide spiritual guidance for organizations." As they say, shift happens. Don't let it happen to you.
Solutions: Everyone has problems. And everyone, it seems, has solutions in their company name. Meaningless and trite.
Space: If you want to suggest a vast, blank emptiness, go ahead and use space in your company name. Alternatively, choose space if you want to sound just like a bunch of other companies. Hey, it worked for BambooSpace, WikiSpace, EventSpace, Workspace, MyCatSpace, and MyDogSpace, didn't it? Well, maybe not.
Think: I certainly hope some thought is involved in your services or products. But don't tell us; show us. And please don't combine Think with any of the other words on this list. ThinkSolutions? ThinkSpace? FluxThink? Just say No-No.

The lack of reliable, frequently updated information on the Earth's polar ice caps is a significant problem for weather forecasting, affecting forecast skill for the entire planet. The poor numerical weather prediction (NWP) skill for the Arctic region and the Earth's northern territories is caused primarily by errors in determining initial conditions, which depend on the quality of initial data.

Internet is the most useful technology of modern times and perhaps the most outstanding innovation in the field of communication. It is easy to assess information through internet and this information can be of any type. Internet has improved business; trade has seen a big boom. Real estate is also making extensive use of the internet in buying, selling, renting and advertising the products.
Realtors use classified sites to buy, sell or advertise their projects. Classified sites save a lot of money and time, so this is a chosen medium for most people. Looking for a home is just a click away, no more running around from location to location, block to block; surf the net and you can have your pick. Project owners list their properties for sale or rent, developers and builders list to advertise their projects to a global audience, while real estate consultants and brokers list their properties to expand their market place.

The CDC and 25 other organizations concerned with public health and patient care issued a consensus statement Tuesday highlighting the issue of antibiotic resistance as part of Get Smart About Antibiotics Week.
The statement serves as a commitment to address the growing problem with an acknowledgement of a shared responsibility on the part of a wide range of individuals -- including healthcare personnel, hospital administrators, policymakers, patients, and those working in medical centers, universities, and pharmaceutical companies.
It's also designed to encourage appropriate antibiotic use both in humans and in agricultural settings, according to Arjun Srinivasan, MD, associate director for healthcare-associated infection prevention programs for the CDC.
"We must remind ourselves that antibiotics are a shared resource, and every individual should consider how each prescription or use of antibiotics impacts the overall effectiveness of the antibiotic arsenal," Srinivasan said on a conference call for reporters held Tuesday by the CDC, the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy (CDDEP), and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "How we use and protect these precious drugs must fundamentally change."
Other collaborators on the consensus statement included the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Public Health Association, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the Society of Hospital Medicine, and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America.
In addition to the release of the consensus statement, the CDDEP released new data from its Extending the Cure project, which looks at patterns of antibiotic use and resistance across the U.S.
The good news, according to CDDEP director Ramanan Laxminarayan, PhD, is that the average number of prescriptions per 1,000 people declined by 17% from 1999 to 2010. In 2010, the national average was 801 prescriptions per 1,000 people.
However, he said, trends varied in different regions. States in Appalachia and the Gulf Coast tended to have smaller declines -- and even some increases -- in antibiotic prescribing during the study period.
The highest rates of prescribing were seen in Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana, and the lowest were seen in Alaska, Hawaii, California, Oregon, and Washington.
Other concerning findings included the declining effectiveness of drugs used to treat urinary tract infections and the greater use of broader-spectrum antibiotics like fluoroquinolones and macrolides, which could accelerate the development of bacterial resistance.
Laxminarayan noted that antibiotic resistance is growing faster than the speed at which new, more effective antibiotics can be developed.
"Our only hope lies in simultaneously making better use of existing drugs while also looking for new drugs," he said. "We've got to remember that each of us has a role to play in preserving antibiotic effectiveness and keeping these deadly microbes in check if we really do want our children and our grandchildren to benefit from this precious resource."

Christy Gillmore-1996 Mustang
Christy Gillmore and her 1996 Mustang are no strangers to danger.
"My car only has rear wheel drive, so I probably shouldn't drive it in any kind of precipitation– not even rain," says Gillmore. "But I still do," she adds coyly.
Despite her daredevil attitude, Gillmore makes sure to treat her ride right.
"Mustangs are high-maintenance vehicles, but if you keep up with them, they run well," she says. "Mine has about 104,000 miles on it, and it's still doing fine."
But there have been a few close calls.
"Once, I was two inches from slamming into a stop sign," admits Gillmore. "Then another time I did a 180 because I was going too fast around a corner."
Gillmore recognizes her car's penchant for trouble, but it has redeeming features.
"It's pretty," she insists. "It's metallic purple!"

The first ESENER, carried out in 2009, involved nearly 36,000 interviews with managers and OSH representatives. All EU Member States were covered, as were Turkey, Norway and Switzerland — 31 countries in all. The interviewees worked in private and public sector organisations with 10 or more employees. Representatives of thousands of businesses and organisations across Europe respond to ESENER questionnaires, which focus particularly on: •General OSH risks and how they are managed •Psychosocial risks such as stress, bullying and harassment •Drivers of and barriers to action in OSH management •Worker participation in OSH The focus on new and emerging risks means that the responses shed light on underexplored and increasingly important areas of OSH, such as psychosocial risks, which are a growing area of concern in European workplaces. ESENER provides much-needed data to policy-makers and researchers at national and European level. There is no other EU-level information source on how OSH is managed in businesses. ESENER plays a key role in helping EU-OSHA to provide cross-nationally comparable information that can contribute to OSH policy-making.2020-01-20T16:16:37Z2016-02-12T11:57:49Z

I've realized that most hiking boots aren't insulated. This is because if they are insulted, they don't breathe as well. Hiking boots are really great if they keep you warm when it's cold and cool when it's hot.
Since I am heading into a real winter climate, I was checking out different options of liners to have some insulation on my feet. The best option would be something that includes a Polartec fleece fabric or a Thinsulate fabric. Duratherm from Gore works well too. Most manufacturers will have their own insulating materials.

Marvel has finally released the last two pieces in the 8-part Avengers: Age of Ultron megaposter. You can see its badassery for yourself — hit expand for an immense, wall-paper friendly version of the Avengers battling a massive horde of Ultron's robotic minions.
I think my favorite part is how nonplussed Hawkeye looks in the lower-right corner. "An army of killer androids? Sigh," Jeremy Renner's Clint Barton seems to think. "I wasn't even supposed to be here today."
