do not forget extra little comic tomorrow
do not forget extra little comic tomorrow
-literally just said "yay" for about 5 minutes.-
Yay. xD
Eeeee! I've been following Dovecote Crest for two to three months, and have gotten really into it. Today ranks as one of the top 5 lousy days of my life, and today's AWESOME comic has, so far, been the brightest point. Thanks, ladies!
I love this webcomic.
Alas for historical accuracy, cruelly abandoned in the middle of a field. ;-)
GOT 'IM! She better than a mountie!
Tha-a-ats gotta get the crowds curiosity… that is, if they saw it amidst the tall grass…
The look on his face is a winner as well.
Oh goodness!
"Awwww! *squeak*" -me two seconds ago
YAY!!!! As I told my friend Ben, "Took 'em long enough." His face is really funny. Hehe I can't wait to see the Ben and Tess story line.
OMG! YES! I had the idea that this might happen once she "excused" herself from the table, but it's still so exciting to see it! <3
Ah! It's about freaking time! ^_^ Can't imagine where this comic's going to go from here but I'm super excited to find out. ^_^
Let's definitely hope the grass is hiding them right now. ;p
(Silently clapping as the other reenactors push me off the field, where I grab a telescope and zoom in on them.)
Imagine the looks on the faces of the Governor and the crowd. You can hear them saying, I don't remember this in the story of the battle. Then the Governor leans over to an aide and says; are you sure this how they captured Col. West?
Did Charlie get an important haircut? Her hair looks a tad shorter…
Thank you.
oops. I meant to add – thank you for making my day!
Bridget, this is a spectacular illustration. I was hoping that this particular plot element would be nailed down just right, and this panel blows me away. Thanks so much!
Little, that is large, and really great art. Can't wait to see what you all come up with Tuesday.

Digital Ecosystem Updates
AT&T's decision to let only its customers on shared and new data plans pick up FaceTime over cellular may have riled some, but at least it's been able to roll-out the functionality earlier than the two-month window suggested in early November. MacRumors' forums are abuzz with word that their iOS devices (mostly on the East Coast) are now able to make FaceTime calls without WiFi. Perhaps more importantly, according to these early reports, you might not have to wield an LTE iDevice to use it, with several non-4G devices running iOS 6 able to stream faces elsewhere. If you're still getting the pop-up of misery (seen above), forum users suggesting switching your phone off and on again.

more pictures....setup:atmega 2560 ---- touchOSC ---- Processing2 rgb Led strips2 UV Led strips2 light dimmersfuture ir control (trying to make it work right)future voice control (Processing Voce library)future temperature/humidity/light sensors...send me a PM if someone whats some of the code (arduino/processing) or more info(again sorry for my english)
For my set-up, I have an Arduino with Ethernet connected to another atmega chip w/ a HopeRF transceiver acting as a base station. The lights have a small custom board with an ATTiny84, transceiver and a latching relay. After the initial base station cost, it's about $10-15 per node. The latching relay is double pole, so I use that to determine the status. That's been the cheapest I can get it without running wires.
Could you share your schematic?

With regard to the latter issue, the employer's challenge turned on the trial court's finding that no class-member had received a legally complaint meal or rest break. The employer claimed this was error, and that "the [trial] court should have reserved individual determinations of damages for a claims administration process rather than granting 'a maximum damage award to each and every member of the plaintiff class, based upon an assumption that all of them had the same experience as the handful of drivers who testified on plaintiffs' behalf at trial ….'" See Slip Opinion, at 18-19. The Court rejected this contention outright, concluding that the evidence cited in the trial court's Statement of Decision established the employer had categorically failed to satisfy its threshold meal/rest break obligations in the first instance on multiple, independent grounds. Id., at 19-22.
First, the trial court concluded that the employer's failure to communicate a meal and rest period policy to employees violated the employer's legal obligation to authorize breaks in the first instance. See Slip Opinion, at 20 ("[T]he evidence shows AB neither maintained, nor provided drivers, any 'formal' meal period policy. The first example of unlawful discouragement provided in Brinker presumes the existence of a formal meal period policy. AB does not meet the 'provide' standard because it provided no evidence showing drivers were, at a minimum, informed in any meaningful or consistent way that they could take a meal period, or the definition of any such meal period."); Id., at 21 ("AB provided no evidence of any formal policy on rest breaks" and "[a]s with meal periods, there is no indication drivers were, at a minimum, informed in any meaningful or consistent way that they could take rest breaks, or the definition of any such rest breaks.'").
Second, the trial court concluded that the employer's practice of providing drivers breaks during "waiting time" while in line at the Port – which by definition was not a duty-free break –violated the employer's obligation to release employees of duty:
The evidence reflects AB knew drivers were stuck in line to enter the Port, once inside the Port, and in order to exit the Port, every single day. Yet it did not provide for the relief of its employees' duties during this 'waiting' time. Waiting, even in a comfortable location, is 'on-duty' by definition: here, drivers were waiting to complete a task assigned by their employer.See Slip Opinion, at 21.
The Court of Appeal held that these findings rendered the employer's criticism regarding the scope of damages without merit:
AB's contention that the SOD did not apply to "all" class members and that it did not say that deprivation of meal and rest breaks happened "most of the time" is not well taken. A fair reading of the court's factual findings shows that with respect to the class as a whole, the court determined that AB had no policy of providing rest and meal breaks, that breaks the drivers were able to take were usually on-duty breaks, and that AB consistently discouraged or prevented the taking of off-duty breaks. The court's finding of liability applied to the class as a whole, and to its members individually.See Slip Opinion, at 20.
Moreover, the Court of Appeal rejected the employer's claim that these findings were inconsistent with "generalized" employee-testimony claiming that they always received meal and rest breaks. See id., at 21, fn. 21 ("Francis stated that he 'always' took his lunch break, but we find no testimony that these were off-duty breaks, in conformance with IWC Order No. 9-2001.… Gaines said that he took rest breaks, but it appears that he counted time in his truck, waiting in line at the Port—time that was not off duty—as break time."). Such testimony did not conflict with "the [trial] court's finding that AB did not provide for conforming breaks and actively and consistently impeded or discouraged drivers from taking them" and as such, "failed to undermine the damages model upon which the court based its award." See id., at 22.

I haven't made time to participate in an Accretionary Wedge for a long time, so when Ron Schott called for the "Most Memorable/Significant Geologic Event That You've Directly Experienced", I thought it was about time to come out and play this game again.
In his call he gives some examples of a few processes that take place in human observable time frames and at surface pressures and temperatures (e.g. earthquake, landslide, flood…) and he repeats the part of his challenge about our being able to directly observe and experience the process we write about.
However, the sorts of geologic processes which most fascinate me are not those which create sediment at the surface of the earth, nor yet processes which produce fine-grained igneous rocks. To my eyes the most significant geologic processes are those which are responsible for creating the pretty rocks that drew me into geology in the first place—the ones with beautiful large crystals. Metamorphic processes, and also igneous processes when they take place deeply enough to permit significant crystal growth, are my favourite of all of the many geologic processes. However, the pressures and temperatures which are responsible for making particularly pretty rocks are well in excess of what our frail bodies can tolerate, which means that the process isn't something I can ever "directly experience".
Or is it? How can we ever know what is happening within a subduction zone?
This question was not only of interest to me, but also to the international research team I joined when I began my last post-doc position. While none of us could go down the subduction zone ourselves to find out what was happening there, we were able to bring a tiny bit of the subduction zone setting into our lab.
Using a piston cylinder apparatus I regularly performed experiments which match the sorts of pressures and temperatures one would find if one could enter a subduction zone. While real rocks can spend millions of years working their way down a subduction zone and then back up again, I only held my samples at high pressure and temperature for two to four weeks at a time. As a result the crystals I grew from my powdered starting material did not achieve the large, stunningly pretty, sizes one can find in metamorphic rocks, but they did grow up to 100 µm in length (remember that there are 1000 microns in every millimetre), and many were lovely to look upon in the BSE images.
Having had the opportunity to perform such experiments I confirmed for myself that yes, pressure and temperature do matter to the minerals in a rock. If one takes the exact same starting material and "cooks" it at different settings one will get a different assemblage of minerals for each combination tried.
The below images show some of the results for one of the compositions I tested, at three different pressures (2.65, 2.8, and 3.0 GPa), and three different temperatures (600, 625, and 650° C). As you can see, the sets of phases present are very different for each experiment. Even the phases which are present in all experiments are present in different abundances when the pressure, temperature, or both are changed.
The few photos I have shared with you today are just a glimpse some of the experiments I have done. All of them together have transported my imagination to the depths of a subduction zone, and brought the merest hint of a subduction into my lab. This is "directly experienced"enough for me.
List of abbreviations:
grt = garnet
mu = muscovite (or other white mica)
qtz = quartz or coesite*
ctd = chloritoid
anth = anthophyllite
tlc = talc
*In all cases the SiO2 phase is labelled "qtz", even when it is at pressure high enough for that phase to probably be coesite—the microprobe does not differ between those two phases, and I did not check it with another technique (such as Raman) because the difference between quartz and coesite wasn't relevant to my work, which was focused on questions related to the stability fields of talc, biotite, and garnet.

Car hauled from depths of Mass. reservoir
WEST BOYLSTON, Mass. (AP) -- State police have hauled a submerged car from the second largest body of water in Massachusetts that may have been there since the 1970s.
The Chevrolet Monte Carlo was discovered Wednesday in an arm of the Wachusett Reservoir in central Massachusetts by state workers clearing the invasive weed milfoil from the 4,100-acre body of water.
The car was found in West Boylston in an area known as Thomas Basin.
Police tell The Republican newspaper they think it has been there since the 1970s because it has intact registration and inspection stickers from that era.
Police said they were attempting to track down the car's owner and trying to determine how and why it ended up in the water.
The reservoir is about 45 miles west of Boston.

It's the distinct Oxford shoe immersed in the wear-black-at-the-office world. With its full-grain leather and superior and durable Vibram rubber sole, it's a timeless and quarter brogue black shoe to be worn all year round. The thing about this Italian rubber is that it withstands the rainy autumn and winter days.
The blake construction directly sews the insole and sole together from inside the shoe with a single stitch. It's the lightest and most flexible choice you can make for classical style shoes.
Unrefined leather goes through the traditional process called "tanning". And is treated so to prevent it from decomposition or loss in flexibility. Afterwards, the leather is put in a rotating wood barrel with water and black coloring solution for dyeing. Water is then warmed up to 60° C to help the color bind to the leather for a lasting finish.
High quality and superior durability. Under some of our shoes is the Vibram winter rubber sole, the best in the market. It's made to walk on any surface, especially outdoors. Rain and snow are no longer an issue.
Full grain leather is the most natural, soft and refined leather on the market. Because the grain pattern is so tight, it's often the nicest to touch and is better for resisting moisture. It's famous for its longevity and durability, meaning it gets better with age.
