The Foresthill Bridge, also referred to as the Auburn-Foresthill Bridge or the Auburn Bridge, is a road bridge crossing over the North Fork American River in Placer County and the Sierra Nevada foothills, in eastern California. It is the highest bridge by deck height in California, the fourth highest in the United States, and among the seventy highest in the world at 730 feet (220 m) above the river.[1]
Originally constructed to replace a river-level crossing of the American River that would have been flooded by the reservoir that would have been created by the unbuilt Auburn Dam, the deck of the steel cantilever bridge stands 730 feet (220 m) above the river.[1] It was fabricated in 1971 by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Japan, built by Willamette Western Contractors, and opened in 1973. The bridge spans the North Fork of the American River in Placer County between the city of Auburn and the town of Foresthill in the Sierra Nevada foothills.[2] Pedestrians can walk the length of the bridge in both directions. There was anti-Auburn Dam graffiti, showing protest of the planned dam, on the bridge's underside.
A seismic retrofit project began in January 2011 and was completed in 2015, with an estimated cost of $74.4 million.[3][4] The original bridge cost less than $13 million.
In media[edit]
The bridge can be seen in the beginning of the 2002 film XXX [5] in which Vin Diesel's character Xander Cage is seen driving a stolen red Chevrolet Corvette off it, then jumping from the car mid-flight and parachuting to his accomplices at the bottom of the American River Canyon.
It also appears in a montage sequence toward the end of the romantic comedy The Ugly Truth,[6] and has been utilized in multiple exercise equipment advertisements.
Due to its height, the bridge is a noteworthy suicide site. As of mid-2021, there have been 94 suicides since the bridge's construction.[7] As part of the bridge's 2011-2015 renovations, a 6½ foot tall pedestrian barrier was installed to prevent further attempts.[8]
2021 Fire[edit]
The Bridge Fire, which burned under the Foresthill Bridge, started on September 5th and burned for a total of 9 days. 411 acres were burned with CAL-FIRE reporting one injury. [9]

I have been attracted by her works for a long time but didn't have any proper chance to place an order as I thought it'd be a little tricky. But the actual payment was easy, the shipping was fast and I had it framed right away. Am very happy to be able to see her fabulous print every day!

This is such a beautiful and original Christmas tree with a custom request glitter. It brightened up our house instantly, bringing a festive and holiday feeling. Her works are vibrant and cheerful. I am always satisfied with the quality and the beauty of her Fine Art Prints. I have been collecting many of her works, and MOMEKO is great to work with. I definitely recommend Planet MOMEKO!
Spread love through ART!
Hello! Welcome to the colorful and imaginative land of Planet MOMEKO.
I am a professional artist and every art in Planet MOMEKO is created by me in my studio.
I started making art since I can remember holding a crayon as a toddler. I come from a line of artistic family. My fraternal grandfather was a great calligrapher, an amazing haiku poet and a bonsai master, and my maternal grand father was a photographer, chef and entrepreneur. My mother always taught me all kinds of arts and crafts from basket weaving to shadow box art (you name it), while I grew up. Being creative was how we grew up in our household, which memory I cherish. I was always surrounded by beautiful and imaginative art at home. I hope that my art will bring a lot of happy and creative energy to your home to feel love and joy of being alive, just like how I remember growing up. You will see a unique blend of cultural influences in my art as I grew up in Japan, United States, and in Europe.
When making art, I do not do any sketches before I start. I just dive into the unknown and see what happens over the course of time, sometimes taking months to compete one artwork. When you let go of fixed ideas, you can actually surpass any limits and it frees my soul and opens up my creativity. I love working with different materials and medium, including graphic design, and in a variety of styles and subject matters to keep my creative potentials open. I enjoy using hands, mixing colors, and totally melt into the present moment. That is when I feel alive!
My artworks are reflection of my life! Ever since my daughter was born 2 years ago, I have been very passionate about making beautiful, original and unique nursery fine art with much love. I find it important to share good work of art with children even as young as a newborn to stimulate their senses, emotions and joy of creativity.
One of my goals as an artist is to send my love through my art and also help people in need to make a better world... I started a "Healing Art Donation Project" in response to the 3.11.11 disaster in Japan and opened a shop at Etsy. A portion of all my print sale in my shop (except for custom orders, originals and one of a kind print) will be donated to JAPAN RELIEF EFFORTS. In combination with the sales from Etsy and other art sales, I donated total of $1624.92 to help Japan so far. Thanks for your support.
I have been showing my art in galleries for years and now I can share my art with not only just gallery goers, but also with other moms and handmade lovers like me, so Etsy is a perfect venue as I can work on art while I take care of my family. You can purchase with confidence that my prints are museum quality that brightens your day!
Please send me a message if you want to request a custom order print, commission an original piece or have any questions. I love hearing from you.

I thought about having my store on etsy but I always ended up going back to my studio and paint! It is typical of me and I try to stay away from a computer work:) But now, I am a new MOMEKO on mission...
When I heard the disaster news in Japan, I immediately created "Prayers for Japan" to raise funds. Then, I thought if I have my shop on etsy, I can contribute for a much longer support. This gave me a motivation to get my shop started.
All the excuses that I had for the past many months to avoid working in my computer room was pushed away and through several sleepless nights, I put up my shop! (Can't believe it is up!!)
So that is my story and very nice to meet you all here and welcome to Planet MOMEKO!
A portion of all my ART print sale in my shop will be donated to JAPAN RELIEF EFFORTS.
We all need some help sometimes and Japan needs yours right now...
It will take years to rebuild the destroyed cities in Japan and for people to get their peaceful life back and to heal from this heart aching disaster, but I am willing to give a long term support.
lots of love,
March 21, 2011

Budget carrier, Norwegian Air Shuttle is Europe's fourth largest low cost carrier (after Ryanair, Easyjet and Air Berlin).It has pinned its long haul expansion hopes on the 787 and the plane keeps letting them down. The airline has endured a number of maintenance issues with its three 787s from brakes to cockpit sensors to grounding to hydraulic pumps. The latest was a fuel gushing from a valve on the plane's wing at Bangkok airport. The situation was photographed by a passenger and went viral.
Passengers had a lengthy delay and the plane flew back to Stockholm for repairs.
Norwegian has been very critical of the 787 and even resorted to leasing a replacement plane. They have been less critical of late but must be just as frustrated.
Two weeks ago, JAL had another battery fire. These come about one year since every 787 was grounded following two fires on board two of them. Boeing have been working hard to raise reliability rates of the 787.

Lookouts Pitcher Nick Struck Struck the Right Note Against Barons
Chattanooga Lookouts (15-25) starting pitcher Nick Struck (W, 2-6) was sensational in the team's 7-3 victory over the Birmingham Barons (22-19), only allowing one hit in six innings while fanning five batters.
The right-hander started off the game strong, only allowing a walk to Trayce Thompson before retiring the side. Struck retired the side in each of the next two innings and did not allow his first hit of the game until Luis Sierra singled in the fifth.
Struck's strong performance was only one part of the equation for tonight's success for the Lookouts. From the first inning on the team's offense scored early and often. The offensive machine began rolling when Bobby Coyle Jr. hit his fourth home run of the season in that first inning.
An inning later the Lookouts piled on two more runs on a Daniel Mayora two-run shot to left field off of Barons' starter Mike Recchia (L, 5-3). In the fifth inning the Lookouts continued to swing a hot bat. New Lookouts' infielder Walter Ibarra compiled his first hit in a Lookouts' uniform when he singled to right field. The bases then became loaded when Sweeney walked and Bobby Coyle Jr. bunted a single to the pitcher. With the bases juiced, Scott Schebler drove home the fourth run of the day on a ground out. A batter later, Corey Seager plated Sweeney and Coyle to give the team the six-run advantage.
The team extended their lead to seven in the seventh inning on an O'Koyea Dickson sacrifice fly, but Birmingham broke up the shutout bid in the top of the eighth on a Michael Earley home run to left. The Barons proceeded to put on two more runs on the scoreboard in the top of the ninth, but couldn't overcome the deficit.

Scrapping our Stash Blog Hop
Hi! It's been a while, but I finally have some stash-busting projects to share on the Practical Scrappers Scrapping our Stash Blog Hop! You should have come here from my friend Brenda's blog. If you would like to start the hop from beginning, stop by Wendy's fabulous blog.
It is such a good feeling to create something with items from my stash and today I've got three fun cards to share with you in honor of National Parents and Siblings Birthday Month. You didn't know there was such a thing? Well, maybe I made that up because there are five sibling and parent birthdays in February between my hubby and I and it certainly feels like it should be nationally recognized! I've already sent out two cards, today I'm sharing the parent's cards.
So, in birthday order, we have the fisherman:
The elegant mom:
And last the purple-loving mom:
Did you notice that the two mom cards are the same design, just different papers/treatments? I love how they are so different and still beautiful! That's the magic of paper-crafting for me – how much room there is for choices to change things up!
The flower cards were both too bulky to fit into the A2 sized envelope that they are designed to fit in, by the way (the flowers all stack in the same spot when folded and I added a LOT of dimension there, even with just the buttons.) Also, I assembled the purple one with the right side flower in the middle instead of the back and that makes it stick out too much when folded so it needs a wider envelope. I suggest doing a trial run with your project before gluing! Liquid glue is awesome for good hold when working with 3D projects, along with wiggle room while they are still wet, but they are not forgiving when dry.
Files and supplies: I used a couple of different files from Lori Whitlock and Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons (Layered Labels 1 Cutting Files), patterned papers from Close to My Heart, Echo Park (Lori Whitlock designed) and Trimcraft, Cardstock from Carta Bella, Close to My Heart and Recollections, sequins from Doodlebug and Pretty Pink Posh, Twinery Twine, Buttons from Stampin' Up!, pens from Silhouette and Zig, ink from Close to My Heart, adhesive from Glue Dots, Scotch, ScrapPerfect, and Xyron.
Thanks so much for visiting today! I'd love to hear from you if you've got a busy birthday time of the year in the comments below. Be sure to head to Alison's blog next!
Here's the list of blogs in the hop, in case you get lost! I know you had to have been inspired by these projects today!

I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone that came to Liberty this week for either the workshops or the one-to-one appointments. We had sunshine, sleet, rain and snow and everyone turned up!
Thank you to everyone who tweeted, RT'd and emailed me – for your support and kind words.
It was hugely successful and I'm sure we'll be doing something again in the near future.
Meeting so many of you in the flesh was brilliant and it's made me think a lot about the future of the blog, my work, everything.
And finally a HUGE thank you to Liberty – who had the balls and open mind to give an opinionated-no-nonsense woman the opportunity to talk to a lot of their customers about absolutely everything to do with the industry – with no restraints. Not many retailers would take that risk – and I think it paid off hugely for all concerned.
So, I'm taking the weekend off completely to regroup – and say hello to my children!
See you next week.

There is major opportunity online for U.S. footwear and apparel brands in China, but companies shouldn't wait to make a play for the fast-growing market.
That was the message from John Spelich, VP of international e-commerce development for Hong Kong-based Alibaba Group, who spoke at FN Platform on Monday afternoon.
"The window is starting to close. Chinese people are starting to develop brand affinities," Spelich said during a discussion moderated by former Clarks Americas head Jim Salzano.
Still, the potential for firms is tremendous, he said. "China doesn't have a very well-developed retail system, so we are leapfrogging traditional development," he said. "There is a whole generation who has been trained [to make their purchases online]."
To demonstrate the company's prowess in China, Spelich cited the highly successful "Double 11" shopping day, held each year on Nov. 11. Last year, transactions worth a whopping $5.8 billion were completed on the firm's sites.
Alibaba – which takes a marketplace approach to its business – continues to court more U.S.-based brands as it preps for its blockbuster IPO on the New York Stock exchange this fall.
One area of concern for brands has been the sale of counterfeit goods on its sites. Spelich stressed that the company was "deeply committed" to tackling the issue.

Podiatrist - Cromwell
162 West St Ste K
Cromwell, CT 06416
We have moved!
Stop by and see our new office!
At Feet First Foot Care Specialists, we find many patients are not familiar with tailor's bunions, also called bunionettes. This type of bunion develops at the base of the little toe at the end of the fifth metatarsal head. It gets its name from what was once an occupational hazard for tailors. Long ago, tailors would sit cross-legged all day while doing their work. The constant rubbing of the outside of the little toe on the ground would result in a painful bump forming at the base of the toe. Although less common than traditional bunions, which manifest on the outside of the big toe, tailor's bunions have similar symptoms, including pain, redness, and swelling at the site of the protrusion.
Similar to regular bunions, tailor's bunions cause considerable pain when they rub up against your shoes. While faulty foot structure may be the root cause of a tailor's bunion, your shoes can play a big role in the progression of this condition. Choosing styles with a roomy, wide toe box, and avoiding high heels with pointy toe area is highly recommended. You may also want to use padding to help protect and cushion the bunionette. Over time, the constant friction from footwear may lead to secondary problems like corns.
If you believe you have a tailor's bunion forming, it's important you make an appointment at our Cromwell office by calling (860) 632-5499 and have it evaluated by our podiatrist, Dr. Adam Mucinskas. The foot doctor may also suggest other treatment options, such as:
If none of these treatments are successful in relieving the discomfort of a tailor's bunion, the podiatrist may recommend surgery to correct the deformity. As with all progressive conditions, it's best to examine your feet regularly and report significant changes to your foot doctor promptly.

We encourage you to contact us whenever you have an interest or concern about our services.

I had seen this scene the first time I visited California Adventures Park back in 2003. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera or tripod with me. Needless to say, this scene was ingrained into my head from then on. In February, 2006 on another family vacation, I returned with a full pack of camera gear. The first day in this park, I scouted for this particular scene and found the perfect spot. Later that night, I walked back to the hotel, gathered up all my gear and made the hike all the way back. Despite my take on our Disney Land/California Adventures expedition, in my opinion, it was well worth lugging all the camera gear from Tucson, Arizona to California, through two airports, a hotel shuttle ride and into the parks and back again.

Hi folks! This is my first blogging notation. I'm a new member and happy to be included into your organization.
Yesterday, during a persistant downpour there was a moat around my barn studio as I nervously watched the tidal waves slowly rising up to my studio and shaking the old structure to it's core. I'm about six metres from the water's edge and this deluge didn't seem to be letting up anytime soon. Even a bedraggled, lone seagull was tapping at my window trying to get in out of the downpour! Now today, it's sunny and clear, and the building still stands albeit minus a few shingles.That's the way it goes here in Passamaquoddy Bay. If you don't like the weather, wait a minute and it'll change!
Last February I was up in the Lake of Bays area painting on a dock at a former camp grounds called Point Ideal. Just to show you how dedicated I am to my craft I've included a shot of me shivering and sniffling away En Plein Air.
I keep a cartoon/log of my exploits which I would like to share with you from time to time. I'll try not to bore you too much as some of my notations date back to nineteen sixty one in Cuernavaca when I spent several months sketching in the markets by day and sleeping in the local cathedral each evening. Now that's immersion!
That's it for now. Cheers!

- Swiss picks up 101st career title in Florida
You can read the report from today's match here:
Related: Roger Federer beats hobbled John Isner at Miami Open for 101st career title
The trophy presentation! James Blake – the former tennis player, not the post-dubstep musician – is thanking everyone. Including the people who watched – which I guess means us. That's nice.
Isner limps up for a chat. He pays tribute to his opponent: "Roger, we're so lucky to have you and we want you to keep playing and literally never retire".
Roger speaks: He says breaking early was "a dream start" although he acknowledges the end of the match "wasn't real" after Isner's injury. He said he "had to keep working hard" even when he saw Isner was hurt.
A shame because before he was injured Isner was coming back into the match and the second set had been fairly even. That was Federer's 101st career title, he's not eight behind Jimmy Connors' all-time record of 109.
The commentary crew on ESPN says Isner told the trainer he thinks he may have a stress fracture in his foot – he had the same injury as a junior and it feels similar. Anyway, he going out to serve. Or attempt to. His first serve is hit at half speed and Isner barely moves around the court. It looks like, to Isner's credit, that he will try to see out the match. Federer doesn't appear to be going full pelt on his returns – he doesn't need to either. Isner actually wins a few points to make it 30-40 and looks like he's made it deuce but the challenge show the ball was long and Federer is the champion.
Second set: Isner 1-6, 4-5 Federer* (*denotes server)
A little hop as Isner returns – he's clearly feeling pain in his foot. A few points later he yelps in pain and limps around the baseline: he barely moves for the next return of serve. This may not last long…
Second set: *Isner 1-6, 4-4 Federer (*denotes server)
Isner is being treated by the trainer – he's having his foot looked at. He glances across at his opponent and says "Sorry, Roger". Excellent manners, his parents should be proud. Anyway, Isner is able to continue but doesn't look entirely comfortable on his serve (not that that stops him from sending down an ace to make it 30-15, and another to hold).
Second set: Isner 1-6, 3-4 Federer* (*denotes server)
Although Isner has improved his serve, he's still not troubling Federer on his serve at all. Isner already appears to be playing for the tiebreak, where he has a decent record against Federer (4-4). A big serve ends the game for Roger.
Second set: *Isner 1-6, 3-3 Federer (*denotes server)
Federer clips the ball down into Isner's ankles and the defending champion can only volley wide: 15-30. A great response from Isner though: a 118mph second serve is too good for Federer. Isner has been much better this set and his serve is starting to crank up. Big serves help him to hold.
Second set: Isner 1-6, 2-3 Federer* (*denotes server)
Isner pumps his fist as a Federer mishit makes it 15-15. When there is first pumping at 15-15, you know Isner is searching for scraps. Federer goes on to win the game and there is no more fist pumping.
Second set: *Isner 1-6, 2-2 Federer (*denotes server)
Isner goes for some serve-and-volley. The serve is fine, the volley less so and he bumbles the ball into the net. A strange point at 15-15, Isner hits it long but Federer thinks it's in and plonks it into the net. He doesn't challenge either and Isner gets away with one. He goes on to win the game too, but Roger missed a chance to put Isner under pressure.
Second set: Isner 1-6, 1-2 Federer* (*denotes server)
On ESPN, they think Isner is playing too far behind the baseline, giving Federer too much room to cause chaos. Which he is doing. Roger holds to love with a nice drop shot.
Second set: *Isner 1-6, 1-1 Federer (*denotes server)
A much better game from Isner – a huge serve brings up 40-0 and he holds shortly afterwards. Now all he needs to do is figure out is how to get remotely close to breaking Federer.
Second set: Isner 1-6, 0-1 Federer* (*denotes server)
First set stats: Isner won 46% of his service points, Federer won 92% (100% of his first serves). That's all you need to know about the match so far. An ace seals Federer's hold to love. The Miami Marlins are playing across town at the moment, if Roger hurries he can catch the rest of the game.
Federer peppers Isner with big shots on the baseline until the American prangs a forerhand out. Federer is getting plenty of Isner's serves back and seems to be picking everything his opponent throws at him. And soon as Isner's serve is neutralised there's not much left. Another unforced error gifts the set to Federer in 25 minutes. Yikes.
First set: Isner 1-5 Federer* (* denotes server)
They say the key to beating Isner is to break him early – and Federer has done so twice (he opted to let Isner serve first too). Isner's serve has been good but not great today, and he's missed a few chances: no chance against Roger if he keeps that up. Federer holds to love – this one could be over quickly (he writes just before Isner stages the greatest comeback of all time).
First set: *Isner 1-4 Federer (* denotes server)
Isner moves Federer around the court nicely before sending a stabbed volley down past his opponent to make it 15-30 after early wobbles. But then Isner misses an easy forehand for his second costly unforced error of the set and it's 15-40. A good comeback though, capped with an ace and we're at deuce. Isner then just misses a shot down the line and Federer has a good chance to put this set firmly under his control. Isner thinks he's saved the break point with a volley but Federer races across court and whistles a forehand past his opponent to seal another break.
First set: Isner 1-3 Federer* (* denotes server)
The weather in Miami is hot and humid but no rain – good news after a stormy few days earlier in the tournament. Federer holds that game as easily as Isner did the last. The ease Roger held there is not good news for Isner as he attempts to break – Federer barely broke a sweat.
First set: *Isner 1-2 Federer (* denotes server)
That's more like it from Isner: three big serves take him to 40-0 and he seals it with a nice backhand down the line.
First set: Isner 0-2 Federer* (* denotes server)
Going a break down in the first game against the greatest player of all time* isn't the perfect start. Isner does very little to correct matters in the second game, and it's an easy hold for Federer.
First set: *Isner 0-1 Federer (* denotes server)
Federer gets off to a quick start and has Isner under pressure at 15-30. How much pressure? Isner dumps his next two serves into the net and there's an early break point on offer for Roger. He wastes the first opportunity with a wide backhand but can't do much about the next shot from Isner: an ace down the middle. But a lovely passing shot brings up advantage for Federer and then Isner's unforced error gives the Swiss an early break.
As you may have heard one or 57,856 times, John Isner has an excellent serve. Unsurprisingly, Federer believes it will be key to the match. "He's definitely got one of the serves that you basically can't read. It's that simple," said Federer. "You just hope that the stars align, that you pick the right side, he picks the wrong side, maybe he misses a serve, that you can put him in uncomfortable situations time and time again, and at the end somehow find a way."
These two are evenly match when it comes to head-to-head tiebreaks: they've won four each in previous meetings.
If Isner wins the final today, it will complete a US sweep for the men's titles here: the Bryan brothers won the doubles earlier against Stefanos Tsitsipas and Wesley Koolhof.
It's been four years since these two men met (in a match, I'm sure they chat in the locker room/on luxury yachts all the time) and that was in a Masters even too – the Paris Masters to be exact. Isner was the winner then, although Federer has the better record overall in the head-to-head. He leads the series 5-2.
But Isner has form in Florida, and won the title – his first Masters – here last year. He's yet to drop a set this tournament but has won all but one of them on tiebreaks, which is remarkable even by Isner's standards. Oddly, Federer's toughest match came against the Moldovan qualifier Radu Albot in his opening match. Those Moldovans though, tough tennis players.
Tom will be here shortly, in the meantime here's how the women's final panned out on Saturday:
Ashleigh Barty had 15 aces and became the 33rd different player to win a title in as many ATP and WTA tournaments this year when she beat Karolina Pliskova 7-6, 6-3 on Saturday in the final of the Miami Open.
The 22-year-old Australian, seeded 12th, won her fourth title and the biggest of her career. She improved to 18-3 this year and will rise next week to career-high ranking of No9, the first Australian woman since 2013 to reach the top 10 in the world.

Finals are almost upon us, beautiful readers. Before we all lock ourselves away in Van Pelt, let's celebrate our last week of classes with your weekly Pete gossip.
SPOTTED: Highbrow hears that Pete was quite the admirer of culture this week, SABS–ing at the STIM show "A Year with Frog and Toad" and the Pennsori concert. A tipster tells us he described them as "awesome." Anna Wintour, watch your back — looks like Pete is the new front row show personality.
Talk about a good friend! Pete was seen acting the part of wingman at the Sigma Chi party this weekend, helping two friends by giving some encouraging advice like, "when you're single, you mingle" — wise words from an even wiser mind. Apparently, Pete even took one for the team by being a coat–rack while his friends hit the dance floor. "Selfless" should be spelled P–E–T–E.
Are you ready for some football?! Or should we say, is football ready for some Pete? Allegedly, our favorite Sports Quotient contributor spent his afternoons watching some good old American gridiron, both college and NFL. We hear Pete is a diehard New York Jets fan, so when the Jets won, we were happy. Just knowing that Pete was out there somewhere experiencing joy warmed the cockles of our hearts.
Isn't it just super boring to do chores? Yeah, it is when you do them. But Pete makes the mundane look insane, and for him, simple household duties like doing the dishes and taking out the trash become feats of extraordinary grace and charm. Pete was spotted toting a simple yet elegant black garbage bag, dragging it just enough to look casual but not so much that it scraped against the pavement and tore the bag.
But Saturday night is when things really got juicy. By that, we mean Pete got dinner at Pattaya. Sorry, readers, but those are all the details we have. Yet, there's so much intriguing mystery here. What did Pete order? Pad Thai? Some kind of curry? Was it spicy? Does Pete like it spicy? What did he drink to wash the burn from his precious tongue? These are questions that will continue to haunt us until we get answers.

Recent claims that Australia's new nuclear reactor site is in an earthquake zone may be premature, but the relationship between proponents of the reactor and the local community remains a sore point.
Last week the nuclear regulator, the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA), confirmed that a fault line had been found at the Lucas Heights site in Sydney's southern suburbs.
"There has been a fault line found in the excavation for the foundation of the replacement reactor," said Don Macnab of ARPANSA. "Now we have got to find out the significance."
The fault was discovered by a New Zealand Company, the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Science Ltd. (IGNS) during a geological survey for ANSTO.
ANSTO spokesperson, Peter Russell, described the fault line as a "geological anomaly".
"Sometimes when you're digging a hole for a huge building you discover these things once you've gone down a fair way in the earth. And that's simply what's happened in this case," he said.
"The company found some lines in the rock which look as though many millions of years ago there might have been some movement there."
"At this stage no one really knows just what sort of significance this is going to have on us whether we continue to go ahead and build on the same site, whether it's stable."
He said that ANSTO was waiting for a full report from IGNS on the matter.
IGNS told ABC Science Online that it could not comment because it is a contractor working for ANSTO.
However, Sutherland Shire Council principle environmental scientist, Dr Garry Smith, said the issue of earthquakes had come up a number of times in the past.
"Earthquake is recognized as one of the major safety items for a nuclear accident," said Dr Smith, who is a local government representative on ARPANSA's Nuclear Safety Committee and on ARPANSAs Council, both of which advise the CEO of ARPANSA.
"They've been trying to rule out what they call a 'loss-of-coolant accident' in the new reactor," he said.
"One scenario is that an earthquake could cause a loss of water that keeps the fuel rods cool and they could melt above water and release a large amount radioactivity into the atmosphere a very bad accident."
Dr Smith said earthquakes first came up as an issue when a safety study on the existing reactor was done a couple of years ago.
"IGNS were employed by the Commonwealth to look into the matter and they produced a report which suggested that earthquakes might be more significant than previously thought," he said.
As a result of this report, Dr Smith said the new reactor was required to be designed to withstand earthquakes and the site had to be checked so that more accurate estimates of earthquake impact could be made.
"But this latest information wasn't known at that time," he said. "It's a very significant issue and has to be dealt with properly. The implications for the design and the cost of the reactor aren't clear until the scientific assessment is done."
Who knew what and when?
Dr Smith said that despite being on the ARPANSA council, he had no prior knowledge of the fault lines.
"One would have thought it would be best practice to keep the public informed but the Sutherland Shire Council and the public found out about this through the press," he said.
Peter Russell could not clarify when exactly ANSTO knew about the findings.
"It was in the last week, I would say. I don't know the actual date," he said on Friday.
However, he said at this stage there was nothing to tell the public.
"There's no need to inform anybody really," he said. "We don't know what to tell them because we haven't got the report back yet."
He said there would be nothing to say until "the situation changed significantly" at the site for example, a recommendation to move the site.
However, Dr Smith said the public should be informed before such a stage.
"They should alert the communities at risk that there is a significant issue being assessed," he said.
Mr Macnab said ARPANSA expected the full report to take several weeks to a month.
"You can be certain we'll crawl all over it pretty thoroughly. We don't have any interest in allowing anything to go ahead unless we're completely satisfied with its safety," he said.
Dr Smith said the community had little confidence in ARPANSA because of a perceived lack of openness and consultation.
Mr Macnab disagreed.
"We believe we've been open in our process. We've invited public comments about the application for a licence, we've had hearings," said Mr Macnab.
ANSTO's Peter Russell said that a community consultative process had "been in the pipeline for some time" but was yet to be fully developed.
Dr Smith said that the council and community had been trying for four years to get a "community right to know charter" which went beyond current Freedom Of Information legislation.
However he added that the concept of a charter had been knocked back when it was referred to the Federal Minister for Environment.

This CD will help you keep that 3:00 habit! Track 1, the "Opening Prayer" is the prayer to be said at 3:00 and then it leads you through the Chaplet and other sung prayers from St. Faustina's diary (of course!) (Sheet music available)
|1. Opening Prayer
|2. O Blood and Water
|3. The Sung Chaplet
|4. Closing Prayer
|5. A 3 o'clock Prayer
|6. Jesus, You Are Mercy (St. Faustina's praises of the Divine Mercy 949, 951)
|7. Hail Most Merciful Heart of Jesus (St. Faustina's Song 1321)
All the songs from this CD are featured on the audio version of St. Faustina's Diary produced by the Congregation of Marians of the Immaculate Conception of Stockbridge, MA.
View my YouTube video of this Chaplet of Divine Mercy Video.
What others have said:
"She delves into the message of Divine Mercy so well not only with the sung Chaplet, but with 3 songs based on St. Faustina's Diary. My heart overflows when I hear her music. For those open to it, the consolation of the Holy Spirit flows into the heart in a way that few things can provoke." -
"I was fortunate enough to catch a portion of this CD broadcast on our local Catholic radio station. Donna Cori Gibson has a beautiful voice and the main track - the actual Divine Mercy Chaplet - is set to a hauntingly beautiful Celtic melody. The entire CD is nice - very easy, refeshing and light. I am not convinced of Catholicism just yet (although I am digging!) BUT I dare say this CD would be appreciated by any Christian, not just Catholics." - Jennifer Spinner
"This is a beautiful CD. The lead singer communicates so much feeling in how she sings. This is helpful to me in the prayers" - Dr. V. King
"Very inspiring musical version of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. The best I've ever heard. Wonderful meditative prayer that instantly calms the soul." - Mary Beth
"This is the most amazing version of the Divine Mercy Chaplet sung that I've ever heard...very spiritual and beautiful. Easy to pray along with. I would definitely recommend this. AAA+++++" - Sandra J.

The most wonderful part of my job as a stylist is to play with flowers. On a daily basis! Especially, when a commissioned job asks for a variety of more than 5 flowers. Imagine my excitement, as I could run wild with this floral arrangement I made for tollwasblumenmachen.de. Pure joy! Pure pastel joy!
As long as I can remember, elegant and official flower arrangements, especially wedding bouquets required noble roses and fancy grown flowers. A while back I noticed, that elegant flower shops started to sell more and more wild flowers, like yarrow and Queen Anne's lace.
I have the most wonderful flower shop in my neighborhood and I have been a faithful customer for over 25 years! They have always been ahead of time when I look back on their designs. But as a small business {especially in a suburban neighborhood} you cannot be as experimental as you might want to be. Of course florists cannot reinvent the wheel, as the flowers we all use for our arrangements have been there for centuries. BUT – and here is the interesting part – I had a long chat with the owner of this favorite shop of mine: she said, that it's only in the past few years she was able to offer wild grown flowers to her customers! Finally, they realized, that those wild growing beauties like yarrow and cornflowers are not the ugly ducklings that accidentally grow on the roadside. Their customers even ask for different varieties of Queen Anne's lace now! How wonderful is that? I bet, you think it's pretty fantastic too! To get you imagination going I made a gorgeous Pinterest board with all of my favorite wild flowers. I believe, that wild flowers and field-grown roses are the most delicate thing you can use for a flower arrangement, especially for a summer arrangement like this! I really love the shift from formal looking arrangements to more wilder, natural looking bouquets! Looking at these arrangements makes you feel, like you have the entire summer in a bowl!
If you would like to know, how I put this flower arrangement plucked from my pastel dreams – here is a little recipe:
my basis, cut from the garden:
white goatsbeard
yellow heuchera leaves
slightly purple blooms of another heuchera
flowers bought on the market or in the flower shop:
white and pink Queen Anne's lace
field-grown roses from the market in white, pale yellow and dusty pink & pastel lavender
pale yellow foxgloves
white hydrangea
everlasting pea
pink cornflowers
purple verbena bonariensis
deep purple salvia
How to create a pastel summer arrangement:
1. I used an eggshell vessel with a large opening to make sure it could fit as many flowers as I wanted. To support the flowers I put chicken-wire inside the vessel to give the arrangement a proper foundation. Naturally I payed attention to the color of the vessel, as also this underlines the beautiful pastel color palette of the floral arrangement.
2. As a basis for the bouquet I started with the larges blooms – I used white goatsbeard, that I got from my garden. With the feathery white blooms, it's certainly a statement flower! Another gorgeous and big headed flower I used for the basis, is the white hydrangea. The yellow heuchera leaves, underneath the hydrangea, finalized the basis and after that I could start to arrange the rest of the pastel colored flowers.
3. If a flower had green leaves, I tried to remove all the leaves from the stems, as I wanted to focus on the soft tones of the blossoms.
4. To make sure, that the soft and dreamy combination of pastel colors would create a delicate summer arrangement, I added all these white, soft yellow, pale pink, blush colored flowers by turns. I created little islands by alternating layers of white, soft yellow and pale pink to achieve the most airy summer look.
5. In the end, I added the lavender and purple colored flowers to set a few accents to the arrangement – in the end the deep purple accents make the other colors shine more!
6. Additionally to the soft color palette, I made sure to use flowers with a lace-like texture and a more natural look. For example, the goatsbeard and Queen Anne's lace with their ruffled blooms are a perfect example for romantic textures. The untamed growing blooms of the everlasting pea create a more wild and natural look. What I love most about the field-grown roses, is their remarkable beauty, underlined by little unperfections. They are far from perfect and in my eyes this give the bouquet a very charming look.
If you have been a faithful reader of this blog, you know that I am a big big forager of all things botanical. But not everyone has the time or the opportunity to go for a long walk to collect wild flowers. Just like me in this exact case: I came back from a gorgeous vacation from Denmark, wanted to have fresh flowers in my home right away but I didn't have the time to go for a long walk to collect flowers. So this is why I am bubbling over with happiness, that my favorite yarrow and Queen Anne's lace can now be found in flower shops around the corner…{I can only speak for the german shops, as I have not enough experience on flower shops in other countries, so please let me know how your experience was/is on access to flowers that usually grow wild}
Please let me add that those wild summer flowers do last a week in a vase! Those pastel summer beauties are definitely worth picking up when you spot them at your local florist!

Microsoft is actively asking for dead bodies -- systems that crash after MS13-063 / KB 2859537 gets applied. If you're seeing a blue screen or your system hangs at the sign-on screen after installing the patch, you can help trace down the source of the problem.
Last week I wrote about this month's six botched Automatic Update patches. At the time, Microsoft published a "Known issues" paragraph in the KB 2859537 Knowledge Base article, but it hadn't pulled the patch. As of this morning, the patch is no longer being offered (it's unchecked in the Automatic Update list), and the Known issues paragraph has been modified a bit:
Some users may experience issues with certain programs after they install security update 2859537. In some cases the programs may not successfully start. We are also aware of limited reports that certain users may encounter difficulties restarting their computers after applying this security update. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available.
Since MS13-063 is a Windows Kernel update -- always problematic, reaching into the inner sanctum -- a lot of people have reported problems. The most frequently reported problems, with Avast and the games Rift, Final Fantasy, and Defiance, seem to be related to developers hooking into the kernel in unexpected ways. Those are more-manageable problems. If you're still having trouble running the Rift game after authentication, install the latest patch from Rift (available since Aug. 15). Avast has solved the problem with an update, but no word yet on small game developers.
But that leaves us with unexplained blue screens 0x06B and frozen systems with 0xc0000005 errors. Jurgen Timmerman, on the Microsoft Answers forum, lists these reported problems:
- BSOD's with the same 05 error-code
- Application Errors by opening. Or Applications just don't start at all (no error shown)- Rift / Final Fantasy / Defiance doesn't work anymore
- Not all Control Panel functionalities work- IE / Chrome or even Firefox doesn't want to start or update
- Windows Profile gone corrupt (happened with a close friend his laptop)- People cannot restart the machine
- People cannot install applications anymore
Several people have reported that the blue screens are caused by previously undetected rootkits. James Watt blogs that his machine was stuck at the Starting Windows screen. Further investigation with TDSSKiller found two rootkits: BackBoot.gen and Cidox.b. After cleaning up -- not an easy task -- he was able to successfully start his machine.
Susan Bradley, moderator on the Answers forum, says there are three current suspects for triggering the 0x06B and 0x05 errors: Hardware incompatibilities (of unknown type); a rootkit or rootkits; and people with modified kernels (for whatever reason). In particular, if you're seeing an 0xc0000005, you may be using a pirated copy of Windows, whether you know it or not.
Here's where you come in. If you have a machine with KB 2859537 problems -- you install the patch and your machine falls over, you uninstall the patch and it works just fine -- Microsoft needs your dead body, uh, it needs to diagnose why your machine turned belly up. Bradley has kindly offered to open a free support call for you and put you in touch with the folks at Microsoft who are looking into this problem. Get the process started by sending me email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Yes, Microsoft is interested in 0xc0000005 crashes, even if (especially if) you thought you had a genuine copy of Windows 7 or Vista.
If you've already installed the patch and nothing weird is happening, no need to uninstall it. But if you're seeing any of the errors in Jurgen's list, uninstall the patch through Windows Add/Remove Programs. Most of all, if you are experiencing or have experienced one of the problems, take Bradley up on the offer to start a free incident report. You could help a whole lot of people nail down a very perplexing problem.

ST. LOUIS, MO – GomerBlog is on the scene of breaking news coming out of Busch Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. Initial reports are indicating that a newborn baby girl has scored a perfect 10 and 10 on her newborn APGAR scores.
APGAR scores, developed by Dr. Virginia Apgar, are assigned to newborn babies at the 1 minute and 5 minute point after delivery and grade Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respirations: 2 points are given for each category with 10 being the maximum score.
No baby has ever scored a perfect 10 and 10, not even baby Chuck Norris. In 1996, Baby Rose scored a 10 at the one minute mark, but developed acrocyanosis at the 5 minute mark, and received a 9. Since then, no baby has ever scored back to back 10s until today.
Baby Samantha was given a perfect 10 and 10 today in operating suite 2 at Busch Hospital.
Pediatrician, Dr. Derrick Myers, who was present at the delivery in the operating suite is still in shock from all the press. "I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. I have never handed out a 10, but this was the loudest, strongest, and pinkest baby girl that I have ever seen. The baby tried to cut her own cord and was almost successful. Usually we knock at least one point off for acrocyanosis, but I didn't see a speck of blue in this kid."
If the official pinkness can be confirmed by recently implemented "instant replay" cameras installed in the OR, Baby Samantha's record breaking feat could top even Nadia Comăneci's 1976 Olympics Gymnastics perfect 10 score and Mary Lou Retton's in 1984. Some say this almost guarantees her a perfect ACT score. Some colleges have started offering full rides in preparation, and her parents have received some letters of interest from medical schools and nursing schools.
Skeptics are already making outrageous claims, that Baby Samantha will be cursed now since she started out "perfect." One anonymous nurse was overheard saying, "Ohhh, she really got a 10 and 10. I'm superstitious and I bet that baby will have something go wrong. Maybe a persistent PDA or RSV infection this winter, just watch."

Get the oil nice and hot (but not smoking hot) to get a good sear on the chicken thighs. Hot oil prevents sticking and helps create a flavorful base for the tangy-sweet orange glaze.
While the chicken rests, the sauce finishes itself, so you can make the couscous and green beans. Small chicken thighs work best here so each person gets two; four larger thighs work, too, but need an extra couple minutes in the skillet to cook through.
How to Make It
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook, undisturbed, until browned on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in orange juice, vinegar, and stock. Turn chicken; cover and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Reduce heat to low; cook sauce, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1/3 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in butter until melted; remove from heat, and set aside.
While sauce cooks, prepare couscous according to package directions. Fluff with a fork. Gently stir in pine nuts and chopped scallions.
Fill a saucepan with water, and bring to a boil over high. Add green beans, and cook until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beans to a medium bowl. Add orange segments to beans; gently toss. Divide couscous mixture among 4 plates, and add green bean mixture; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Top with chicken; drizzle with sauce, and sprinkle with sliced scallions, if desired.

Information for customers on measures adopted by Borgo di Pietrafitta to prevent the spread of Covid-19
Version updated on 11 June 2020
At Borgo di Pietrafitta we care deeply about the well-being, health, safety and protection of our guests, our employees and our business partners.
We have further stepped up our efforts to offer you a pleasant holiday, following the latest government guidelines: in order to implement the specific health prevention provisions, we have put in place an action plan that also includes the sanitising of environments, prevention of contagion, training and protection of staff that looks after you. All staff have been made aware of how to apply and monitor the implementation of new protocols.
In order to prioritise the protection of our guests and collaborators and to adapt to the specific regulations in force, some services may be affected by temporary changes with respect to those offered on the website.
We are constantly monitoring changes in recommendations and guidelines to provide you with the best possible service and for this reason, some of the information provided here may change.
Hygiene and cleanliness
At Borgo di Pietrafitta we have always ensured compliance with the highest standards of hygiene and cleanliness but during this period, we have adopted new and improved specific measures for preventing coronavirus.
We use new products and hygiene devices and we have adopted special operating procedures for cleaning both private as well as shared and service areas, so that we can offer you environments which are not only cleaner but also sanitised.
We have increased the frequency of housekeeping rounds, especially in shared areas and in high-contact points (e.g. bathrooms, counter tops, hallways, handles, equipment)
We have provided hand disinfection points, reduced the number of people indoors, spaced out seats, created routes that minimise the possibility of queues and gatherings.
Should any unforeseen events arise, telephone numbers and contact details of local medical centres are available at the Borgo's reception desk.
We monitor any signs and symptoms of Covid 19 experienced by our employees and suppliers on a daily basis.
While we await to fully resume our normal activities, we would like to provide you with some practical information.
We ask that you inform us of any requests and needs you may foresee during the booking process so as to understand them clearly and make any necessary arrangements as soon as possible prior to your arrival, thus reducing the waiting and contact time in the reception area.
Following confirmation of your booking, we ask that you provide us with a mobile phone number in the event we need to contact you urgently; we also ask that you provide us in advance with an identity document number for all occupants of the room and apartment, in order to improve the check-in process and other services.
General information
Borgo di Pietrafitta is surrounded by nature and offers wide open spaces where you can enjoy its peace and beauty: this is also the reason why it will be easier to comply with social distancing rules. We ask you to follow the rules of a minimum distance of one metre with people who do not share your room and to always wear a protective face covering indoors or outdoors when this distance cannot be maintained.
Within the Borgo, there are plenty of hand sanitisation gel dispenser points.
In order to reduce contact through cash handling, we ask you to please pay using contactless payment systems (room charge, electronic contactless or "smart" credit cards).
Arrival, reception, check-in, check-out
Conditions for accessing the premises and body temperature checks: upon your arrival a check will be performed to read your temperature and blood oxygen levels and you will be asked some questions; information and answers provided will not be transcribed or stored. In the event of temperatures above 37.5° and/or symptoms or conditions due to possible Covid-19 infection, unfortunately we will not be able to allow access to the premises. We therefore ask you to only travel if you are in good health.
Check-in: upon your arrival we would like to be able to greet you more warmly but this year, it will not be possible to do so and indeed we are forced to ask you to keep contact time at the reception desk to a minimum. Only one member of your group should come to the reception desk. If you have prepared ahead of time the identity documents of all members of your group and documentation related to your booking, you will help us to reduce check-in times and access your room quicker. We ask you to please prioritise contactless payment forms that reduce cash handling.
Information request: if you need to ask us information or make any suggestions, we will be happy to assist you, but please make any requests by telephone rather than directly at the reception desk. Nonetheless, we will double our efforts to assist you with any requests that you may have.
Departure and check-out: as for the check in, we ask you to please plan your departure with sufficient time, requesting in advance information on the account balance, any shuttle requests and anything else that may be necessary.
Breakfast for room occupants will be served at the tables in the breakfast room; for apartments we will deliver a basket to the apartment, while fresh products may be picked up directly from our breakfast room.
Room cleaning measures
Rooms will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitised with specific virucidal disinfectants prior to your arrival.
During your stay, rooms will be thoroughly ventilated and cleaned; for precautionary reasons, please do not stay in your room when it is being cleaned by our staff.
For apartments, cleaning and sanitisation is performed on request, as usual.
Refrigerators, cleaned and sanitised prior to your arrival, will be stocked with water to welcome you.
I nostri tavolini con vista sul Chianti non hanno bisogno che di voi per organizzare le degustazioni dei nostri vini e dei prodotti tipici del territorio: ricordatevi solo di prenotarle in anticipo.
Food and wine tasting events
Tables overlooking the Chianti countryside are available for organising a tasting event of our wines and typical local products: just remember to book them in advance.
Swimming pool
The pool is ready to be used by you. The Borgo's outdoor grounds allow for relaxation areas to be enjoyed by all occupants of rooms and apartments. In order to comply with government regulations, we must limit access to water to no more than 14 people at a time, but it is rare for the pool to be crowded.
On your arrival you will be given a plate to place on your sun umbrella to book it for the entire day; we will ensure to sanitise all equipment every morning, so that you can renew your choice daily with total confidence.
We have increased micro-biological water analysis testing, so that you can enjoy our infinity pool with complete peace of mind.
The barbecue area with scenic views is an open-air cinema.
The need to comply with social distancing will prevent group barbecues from taking place this year, in favour of more romantic or intimate barbecues, but this might well turn out to be an opportunity rather than a restriction!
This information sheet is a short summary of the Covid-19 protocol drawn up by our company which provides more in-depth information.

I have been admiring Ella Scandal's writing for a long time! She is a brilliant writer, even though she doesn't think so herself. The way she uses her plots and have her characters experience the most amazing things is just great!
You can read her stories on her blog and follow Ella on Twitter.
Top 3 by Ella Scandal
I absolutely adore the sex blogging community, but I have to be honest and say that, probably like most people, I don't get enough time to devour what my fellow writers are posting every day, and I soon end up out of touch with what's new. But no matter how busy I am, I always try to make time for Wicked Wednesday (and Masturbation Monday). There's always such intense brilliance from everyone who participates I'm not only entertained but also educated and, quite often, inspired. Oh, and aroused, of course. Only being allowed to choose three should really be considered a minor cruelty, but rules are rules. So, here are the posts that ensnared my attention, and why:
Cammies on the Floor – Depression
I didn't expect to click on the first link and feel that I'd found one of my top three before I was even half way through reading the post, but that's exactly how it went with Cammie's 'Depression'. The raw emotion, the soul baring…it was difficult to read, but not because I felt pity.
It was because I recognised some of what Cammie said. Some of the emotions – worthlessness, imposter-syndrome, mistrust in other's reasons and motives – I've felt first hand. Some of the behaviours I've seen in those close to me, especially in the woman who gave me life and in the man I've chosen to share that life with. There's despair in this post, but also bravery and, to my mind, hope. Hope because, though she acknowledges that things aren't alright, Cammie recognises that they're better than they once were. I truly hope they continue to get better until, one day, she knows who she is again.
Hannah Lockhardt – It's been a long time
Ooof! Hannah isn't the only one who likes her dirty words. I love how vividly she recalls the sensations of having her mouth used so thoroughly. It almost feels like she's being haunted by the need, but rather than being afraid of the intensity she revels in it. I was licking my lips as I read this piece and experienced such a sharp pang of longing when I realised that it's been ages since I was last used like this. I now have a craving to give while my partner takes but that isn't going to happen for a while, so I guess I'm going to have to put my imagination to work. Or maybe I'll just read Hannah's post again.
Fire and Honey – To the Moon and Back
This was a super short piece, but I felt it like a punch in the gut.
Something that always makes my heart ache is when I stop and feel someone's absence and that comes through so strongly here. And, for me, that last line is both horrible and beautiful in equal measure. It brought tears to my eyes for so many reasons and I know it'll play on my mind for the rest of the night.
It's weekend and time for a night out, right? So what do you like to do on your night out? Do you go out dancing and flirting and drinking or do you prefer a quiet dinner in a restaurant and then coming home for a fuck? Share your perfect and sexiest night out!
The top 3 for this week's Wicked Wednesday will be done by myself. Come 'wow' me with your stories!
Please note
- The rules for this meme can be found here and you can download the Wicked Wednesday badge on the same page.

This older post, "Merchant Circle: Zero Customer Acquisition Cost," has been commented on many times. I received another comment this evening (below), which was critical of the company for allegedly misleading marketing and customer acquisition practices. In fairness there are also positive comments.
I think the company's plan to become an online reputation management service is a good idea. But I'm struck by the persistence of these critical complaints.
Here's an excerpt from the comment I received tonight verbatim:
Merchantcircle.com uses deceptive advertising and unethical marketing practices. Below is an excerpt from the letter I just sent to the Silicon Valley BBB:
"My business was just phone-spammed today by a company representing merchantcircle.com — the prerecorded voice message said "a customer has left negative feedback about your business" and to "visit merchantcircle.com to view this feedback." There is no feedback on my business; it's a bait-and-switch scam, baiting business owners with non-existent negative feedback and switching to a sales pitch for their services."
I have no direct experience of these alleged facts nor have I sought to follow up and investigate them. But I'm just surprised that almost every time I post about MerchantCircle there's some sort of negative response from someone.
I'm sure the Merchant Circle folks will respond — and I invite them to.

Gas prices up by as much as almost 20 cents in some Canadian cities
Gas prices jumped overnight in some cities across Canada, in many cases by around ten cents a litre, and by almost 20 cents in one city.
The price of gas on Thursday was up nationally by just over three cents on average at $1.58 per litre, with some provinces seeing bigger jumps than others, according to the CAA's gas price tracker.
Kristine D'Arbelles, CAA's senior director of public affairs, said gas prices are being driven by a number of factors including international issues, seasonality, supply and demand and provincial taxes.
With hurricanes Fiona and Ian hitting coasts this week, delivery and supply of gas is likely affected for some markets, D'Arbelles said.
"Storms can have an effect on gas prices," she said. "Because where gas is coming from is slightly different across the country, that might mean that one province is feeling it a little bit more than another province."
Victor Vallance, senior vice president of natural resources and pipelines at DBRS Morningstar, said the Canadian dollar, which has been under pressure this week, is likely contributing to prices going up, as oil is priced in U.S. dollars.
In Alberta, provincially prices were up by six and a half cents, but up almost nine cents in Edmonton.
Meanwhile, Ontario prices averaged two cents more than on Wednesday, but in some specific cities it was a different story.
In Thunder Bay, gas prices were up by almost 20 cents, and in Peterborough prices were up 11 cents, compared with a gain of just around a penny in Toronto. In other Ontario cities, such as Brantford and Brockville, gas prices were up by four and half cents.
In Saskatchewan, prices were up almost six cents, while Manitoba's prices saw just a one-cent rise. Quebec's prices barely moved overnight, while prices in British Columbia were up by almost four cents.
Prices have been more volatile than usual for months now, and consumers are likely trying to save where they can, which could soften prices, said Vallance.
"People are being squeezed all over with inflation," he said.
In some provinces, there's another jump in gas prices on the horizon as tax relief programs reach their limits.
Alberta's temporary gas tax relief, introduced earlier this year when prices soared, is on its way out, albeit slowly. On Oct. 1, the province will reintroduce a tax of 4.5 cents per litre, still a far cry from the usual 13 cents.
Ontario's gas tax was cut to nine cents per litre from 14.7 cents effective July 1 and ending Dec. 31.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 29, 2022.

By now you have probably guessed rightly that I am terrified of painting this monumental clock. I'll get to it, when I'm comfortable with it. Meanwhile, I pursue the endless details. I've heard it said that the Devil is in the Details, but I have always found the Sublime in the Details, at least when it comes to drawing and watercoloring. I get lost when this occurs, and I find it totally enjoyable. My breathing changes when I detail a watercolor just as profoundly as when I step into a mountain stream with a fly rod. Considering that Texas is facing yet another triple-digit temperature day today, I could wish to be wading a mountain stream, but oh well–I'm glad to be painting.
Thanks for reading.

I was inspired today….
Volunteers welcome.
I was inspired today….
Volunteers welcome.
We've accepted two more stories for Clarkesworld Magazine:
"Celadon" by Desirina Boskovich (science fiction)
"Teaching Bigfoot to Read" by Geoffrey Cole (science fiction)
I'm still putting together the schedule, but you should expect to see these in the first quarter of next year.
I'll be posting more about Capclave soon, but I figured I should talk briefly about the WSFA Small Press Award that was presented there this past weekend. Clarkesworld had two stories up for the award, but in the end, it went to "The Wizard of Macatawa" by Tom Doyle (originally published in Paradox magazine). The Clarkesworld stories on the final ballot were:
As finalists, both authors received certificates which I was proud to accept on their behalf. If you haven't read these stories, do yourself a favor and check them out. If you are a paper sort of person and don't want to read them online, they are both in the first volume of Realms.
The draft programming schedule for World Fantasy Con is up and I've been selected to moderate the Online Fantasy Zine panel. I think it's very cool to have been invited. I would have loved to have done this, but unfortunately I'm not going to be able to attend WFC this year. It looks like I'll have to find a Bittercon replacement panel.
It's my pleasure to announce that we've accepted "The Jisei of Mark VIII" by Berry Henderson (selfavowedgeek). It will appear in Clarkesworld Magazine sometime in early 2009.
For those interested in numbers, in the last three weeks, we've read 360 stories and accepted one. That's a 0.28% acceptance rate.
Next weekend, I'll be attending Capclave in Rockville, MD. Most of the time, I'll be in the Dealer's Room, but they also have me signed up to be on these panels:

Flim-Flam Festival Winners
5 March, 2011
Forget the box office. This movie-Storm went closer to kick-boxing, the pace so fast, and the talent so stunning. As the lone judge left standing in Cannes, I'm feeling concussed. Reeling even. Must I choose? Seriously? Okay, for the purpose of your BAFTA bling, your Globes and Palmes etc, here goes:
The Exorcist = Retch, so exit [Mauve suffers a technicolor yawn.]
Night of the Living Dead – Loved in-death fighting [Grave praise from Sam]
The Last Airbender = "Hates" and "Terrible" [Mr X's raspberry for this year's Razzie winner]
Witches of Eastwick = Whew! Tickets fiasco [Sam seems genuinely miffed by this magical misfire]
Young Frankenstein = Gene: Funny kino star [Sam goes wild for Wilder]
AND THE WINNER: Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey = Grubby, ill-adjusted no-ones [Not a film I've seen, but Boniface stones the stoner genre with deadeye touch.]
The Sixth Sense = He Exists? Sh! [Nib applies the ultimate spoiler alert.]
Inglourious Basterds = Bogus Soldiers In A Rut [Once he figured out the spelling, SK shone.]
Brokeback Mountain = Remain Outback, Bonk [SK does some fine wranglin']
Debbie Does Dallas = See Lads, Babe, Dildo… […and he doesn't stop there!]
Murder on the Orient Express = Expos on thirteen murderers [Only reason Boniface DIDN'T claim Uncle Oscar is the reuse of 'on'. But honestly, this is a mind-spinning anagram.]
AND THE WINNER: Thelma And Louise = Dames In Auto Hell [SK hints at the high-flying finale with Ebert panache. Exquisite.
Wolf Creek = We're Flock [Pithy, vicarious and aptly ovine words from DC]
Animal Kingdom = Liking Madam? No. [JD echoes the Academy with aplomb]
Love And Other Catastrophes = Adores hot chap over talents [dg revives an indie gem]
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert = Transvestite sent off, oh – he required dull peace [ML almost bites off more than s/he can chew, but dines in style.]
The Proposition = Hot Poison Tripe [DC defies his own response to concoct vitriol.]
AND THE WINNER: The Man from Snowy River = Farm rover myth – no swine! [Philth touches on veracity with perspicacity. Encore, mate!]
A five-star tempest, all homegrown Halliwells. Thanks for a memorable festival. See you in the stalls for The Perfect Storm next week."
