The grandson of a missing Goodyear woman led police to the desert near Gila Bend where a body was found Saturday morning. 78-year-old Helen Lee was reported missing under suspicious circumstances earlier this week.There's three different crime scenes, all connected to Helen Lee's disappearance. First her home in Goodyear, where someone crashed into her garage and left damage behind.Then, her grandson, who lives with her, was involved in a car jacking and police chase in chandler. That's also where lee's car was found.Then Saturday morning a body was found in the desert in Gila Bend.The question on Saturday night: Did Lee's grandson kill her and dump her body in the desert?"We feel that he has something to do with her disappearance. Whether that body is her, that is yet to be determined," said Lisa Kutis, Goodyear Police Department spokeswoman. Police say Helen Lee's grandson, 40-year-old Jason Howell, led detectives to an area in Gila Bend. Saturday morning, police dogs found a body."It was concealed in brush and shrubbery," said Kutis. Howell has a criminal history, which includes substance abuse and burglary, according to police. Neighbors say Lee had been trying to help Howell for the past four years and that she's called police on her grandson several times."We have heard loud outbursts from Jason and Helen was pretty adamant about her rules for the house and she tried to enforce it," said Don Morrison, a neighbor. Nearly four days after the woman was reported missing, police are still at the home trying to piece together what happened, and although that body has not been identified yet, neighbors fear it is that missing grandmother. "Unfortunately, I think the reality is that Helen is not going to come back here," said Morrison. Police are waiting on a medical examiner to tell them if the body that was found in the desert is Helen Lee, and if it is, how she died."Given the nature of the volatility of the personality involved, my feeling is she's met her demise and it's not at her own hand," said Morrison. Jason Howell is in custody, but there are still a lot of unanswered questions in this case. Police haven't released a possible motive, aren't saying how Helen Lee's home was damaged or how her car ended up in Chandler. Hopefully those questions will be answered now that a body has been found.

[video] Quick Take: Jobless Claims Tick Higher
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Jobless claims came in slightly higher than expected, TheStreet's Joe Deaux and "Mad Money" Research Director Nicole Urken discussed.
The data, released Thursday, came in at 350,000, slightly higher than the expected 340,000, a decline from last week's revised 362,000.
Urken reminded investors that since the number is weekly, it tends to be very volatile. However, she noted earnings results are more of a focus right now.
Ford Motor (F) beat on both the top and bottom lines, Deaux said. Urken added the company reported a pre-tax loss of $228 million in European operations, a steep decline from the $468 million it lost in the region in the same quarter last year. While shares are still up, the stock is off its highs after opening over $18.Ford's not the only winner is Europe -- Spain reported its first positive quarter of GDP growth after posting nine consecutive quarters of decline, Deaux said. Other midday market winners include: Cheesecake Factory (CAKE) and Fortinet (FTNT). Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM) is up nearly 20%. Citrix Systems (CTXS) is higher after posting better-than-expected earnings results than its warning had indicated earlier this month. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich.

Hi. I'm Crow. I'm a robot. But not just any ordinary robot. I am 23 years old. I often panic while making sandwiches. I used to have a crush on Kim Catrall, and later Estelle Winwood. I make jokes. I used to be on a show called "Mystery Science Theater 3000." I used to watch awful movies for a living. Sometimes I still do by force of habit. I used to live in this giant bone called the Satellite Of Love in outerspace, but now I live on earth! And now I'm on Tumblr! Isn't that neat? Oh boy, this is fun.
Most of the posts you see here will consist of cats, artwork done by me, and other weird stuff.
I also take submitions, incase somebody wants to show me something cool.

Things just aren't the same anymore. I've got to move on with my immortal life. But I may return someday~
Yeah, this blog is dead. You see, I have a job now, so I'm pretty busy these days.
But I won't delete because I might check in once in a blue moon, so you don't have to unfollow me. This blog just won't be the same anymore, that's all. Just remember the good times. Those were some good times, weren't they? Just keep those in mind. Maybe some day, perhaps in the summer, this blog will be active again. But for now, I'm not going to be very attentive. Toodooloo.

The stylists at Pin Up Hair Salon don't want to transform their clients in quiet. They want to engage their clients and know what look they desire before cutting off split ends, adding color, or creating a permanent wave. They also like to educate their clients on how to get their desired look at home.
Sun Tan City's trained tanning consultants help clients get bronzed via UV-free tanning booths and ergonomic tanning beds. Guests can schedule a single visit to touch up an existing tan, purchase a multivisit package to get a discounted rate, or become a member to take advantage of the salon's 100% guarantee.
Although Michelle White earned certifications at Honors Beauty College that showcase her deft, gentle hands, the massages and facials she delivers at Chez Michelle Skin Spa also incorporate the healing power contained within her arsenal of supplementary tools. The licensed massage therapist?s repertoire of therapeutic strokes and stretches benefits from her understanding of SASTM therapy, which detoxifies bodies with the combined might of modern sonic technology and ancient Chinese cupping techniques. After a quick skin analysis, White uses the results of her research to craft custom facials with Jan-Marini-Skin-Research products, treating blemishes with ingredients like hyalronic acid?a healing agent that abounds in youthful skin. White?s Palomar IPL lasers promote cellular rejuvenation and nix unwanted hair, and her mechanical exfoliators help buff away Sharpie mustaches the hair was there to cover up.
BB Designs Style Studio's owner, Bonnie Benshoof, draws from 22 years of industry experience and specialized training in advanced treatments to lavish each of her clients with custom salon and spa services. Visitors strut past a glowing aquarium in the building?s lobby to Bonnie?s private suite, where she can be found performing all manner of beautifying services armed with Redken, Matrix, Goldwell, and Paul Mitchell products. She revamps lackluster locks with cuts, coloring, and keratin hair-straightening treatments, and polishes mugs with microdermabrasion and facials. Her waxing services render visages fuzz-free, and pampering paraffin hand treatments soothe mitts achy from plucking unwanted hairs one by one before happening upon her salon.
Since she earned certification in electrolysis in 1997, Heather E. Culver has watched her hair-removal empire expand to offices in Texas, New York, and Indiana. Today, Heather—an active member of the American Electrology Association—pilots a team of professionals with more than 55 years of collective spa experience at Aesthetic Electrolysis & Skin Care Center. Brandishing high-tech electrolysis tools, the crew expunges unwanted strands from men's and women's faces and bodies, augmenting treatments with cleansing facials and trips through a wind tunnel to test their newfound dominance over friction. They can also adorn visages with permanent makeup and help relax tense muscles with hot-stone and deep-tissue massages.
The research staff at 7E—a medical-aesthetic company that prides itself on skincare innovations—designs noninvasive treatments that combat the effects of aging and bolster all-over wellness. Once staff members have perfected a solution, they share the fruits of their labors with clients at 7E Fit Spa. One of these many fruits is the Torc Plus, an FDA-approved body-contouring machine that works to deplete inches and bulk up muscles in bodies through electrical stimulation. The spa's noninvasive face-lifts tighten visages while evening out skin tone, reducing puffiness, and increasing circulation, and saunas detoxify the body and relax clients with infrared heat shoplifted from the equator.

Sam Means - "Long Way Down" (NONA EP)
Everyone is still complaining that The Format isn't a band anymore. It seems that for some reason, some folks begrudge fun. their success because The Format was "better." Yes, I think they were better too (Interventions and Dog Problems are two of my absolute favorite records of all time) and I would have loved for them to find more success than they did and stick around longer than they did, but none of that matters.
Nate has found unbelievable success with fun., selling records and setting records with a ubiquitous hit single and I'm happy for him more and more by the day. (I got a little choked up watching this video of their MTV Movie Awards performance last night.)
Sam Means was the other half of the Format duo, and he just put out a 5-song EP called Nona. (His daughter Lola can't quite say her own name, hence the name of the record.) If you're missing that fun, solid indie-pop of The Format, pick it up right now for $4.99 on Amazon or his site.
TL;DR: Some nights Nate Ruess is on top of the pop charts, some nights that other dude from The Format releases new music.
May 12, 2004, Fitchburg State College, the first time I saw The Format.
I was thinking about this today after hearing that fun.'s Some Nights sold 70,000 copies last week, debuting at #3 on the Billboard 200 behind only Adele (who now has the longest running album at #1 since Purple Rain in 1984-85) and Whitney Houston's Greatest Hits. Nate's come a long way, and is still making great music.
I couldn't be happier that they have the #6 song in the country and #3 record in the country.

AICN Anime - New Series From the Creators of "Cowboy Bebop" - Previews of "Berserk" Movie and Disney's Release of Ghibli's Arrietty and More!
Logo handmade by Bannister
Column by Scott Green
The Creators of "Cowboy Bebop" Are Back!
Wonder what Cowboy Bebop creator Shinichirō Watanabe has been up to since since his impressive follow-up work on 2004's Samurai Champloo? Well, he contributed a bit to the music on Eureka 7, some storyboard work on the worth-seeing sci-fi action Birdy the Mighty. The directed a short for Studio 4C's 2007 Genius Party anthology and supervised the music on the excellent, but unfortunately unlicensed Brazilian set mother/daughter crime epic Michiko to Hatchin.
Well, after long, dry spell, he's re-teaming with Cowboy Bebop composer Yoko Kanno on Sakamichi no Apollo, an upcoming anime show, that will be airing on Noitamina - an anime block that programs anime for audiences who don't typically watch anime.
via Crunchyroll News
Yuki Kodama, the artist of the Shogakukan Manga Award winning original work was quoted, "I've been blessed with the best staff—to the point where when the anime adaptation of the manga was announced I could have sworn there was no such thing as such a luxurious combination. I'm so happy my heart could burst. I'm just waiting to see what kind of visual and musical collaboration they have in store for us."
Director Watanabe commented, "Actually this is the first time I'm doing an adaptation. When I read the manga, I thought, 'This is something I should do.' I'm making it with the feeling of having jam sessions with Kodama-sensei and leveraging the distinct flavor of the manga."
Yoko Kanno had this to say: "In youth, jazz. This is the work I had been waiting for the most. By all means please listen to the sounds of these young prodigies performing that I can hear from the manga, the beat of their life. "
Other staff includes:
Script: Ayako Katou (from Fuji TV), Yuuko Kakihara (Chihayafuru, series composition for Persona 4)
Character Design: Nobuteru Yuuki (Maken-ki!, To Terra)
Chief Animation Direction: Yoshimitsu Yamashita (House of Five Leaves)
Disney "Secret World of Arrietty" Dub Preview
Disney's release of Studio Ghibli's The Secret World of Arrietty hits North America February 17th. The movie was previously released in the UK with a different English dub—Americans will be hearing actress/singer Bridgit Mendler as Arrietty along with Will Arnett, Amy Poehler, Carol Burnett, and David Henrie instead of Saoirse Ronan, Tom Holland, Mark Strong, Olivia Coleman, Phyllidia Law, and Geraldine McEwan.
The Hiromasa Yonebayashi directed movie, also known as Arrietty the Borrower, adapts Mary Norton's novel The Borrowers, about the little people secretly living in human dwellings. Studio co-founder Hayao Miyazaki wrote the film's script.

From Yale University Press - a New Book on Otaku Culture
YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS is pleased to announce the publication of Fandom Unbound Otaku Culture in a Connected World Edited by Mizuko Ito, Daisuke Okabe, and Izumi Tsuji In recent years, otaku culture has emerged as one of Japan's major cultural exports and as a genuinely transnational phenomenon.
This timely volume investigates how this once marginalized popular culture has come to play a major role in Japan's identity at home and abroad. In the American context, the word otaku is best translated as "geek"—an ardent fan with highly specialized knowledge and interests. But it is associated especially with fans of specific Japan-based cultural genres, including anime, manga, and video games. Most important of all, as this collection shows, is the way otaku culture represents a newly participatory fan culture in which fans not only organize around niche interests but produce and distribute their own media content. In this collection of essays, Japanese and American scholars offer richly detailed descriptions of how this once stigmatized Japanese youth culture created its own alternative markets and cultural products such as fan fiction, comics, costumes, and remixes, becoming a major international force that can challenge the dominance of commercial media. By exploring the rich variety of otaku culture from multiple perspectives, this groundbreaking collection provides fascinating insights into the present and future of cultural production and distribution in the digital age.
MIZUKO ITO is Professor in Residence and John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Chair in Digital Media
and Learning, Department of Anthropology and Department of Informatics, University of California, Irvine.

I'm kinda psyched out about this, but a lot of graphic violence and sex has undoubtably been omitted from these movies. I think the ideal format, other than the manga of course, would be a live-action HBO series. Especially considering the rape, child molestation, ultraviolence, incest and the surreal, dark shit that goes on.

Well Berserk sure looks awesome, but...
by Sean
... Was it really necessary to spend so much on making such an elaborate remake, that in MANY areas is shot-for-shot, when the existing anime is has one of the most notoriously soul-crushing cliffhangers ever. I'm told the stories were continued in the manga but I could care less. All this work on a 3 part remake that will take years to conclude, years that could have been spend unfolding the further trials and adventures of the survivors of the original Berserk finale. I'm glad to see any new Berserk at all but for Christ's sake.

Yeah the end of the anime series killed me! It's sad to think what could have been. I think making more would have got the series the recognition it deserved too. Then who knows what would have happened. At this point though, it feels like it's too little too late. I hate it when they drag it on. Just like Neon Genesis. As long as they keep making them I'll keep watching them though, sadly. The dude has my money.

Berserk! - One thing about the anime was it's awesome soundtrack
by even9
It's soundtrack really added to that anime, should use some of same music again. Berserk was such an involving anime with depth - Gutz & Griffith were amazing character leads, so well done in many ways that anime but......... then it tore out your heart totally in a dark, demonic, rape & orgy of a conclusion! Don't know if i could go through that again in an anime without an somewhat redeeming point to the characters and story to be had - you just want Griffith to turn out well after such an epic & at times uplifting epic journey but instead it all turns into a totally nihilistic hell!

Not only do you have to have it dubbed into English, but it has to have American voices too? What the *fuck* is up with that? (Btw the Brit cast is clearly better. Amy Poehler? Some "singer/actress"? Please!)

Beserk! Bitches!
by Stalkeye
I also said it before how much I loved the Dreamcast game which still holds up well against some current gen action games. (Despite 10 years ago since it's release.) If only SEGA can port this pup in HD res to XBL and PSN for a good price. But in the meantime, I'm still holding on to my DC. Didn't care for the Anime series as I rather have the events take place post Black Sun Massacre. Plus Casca's rape scene was distasteful (AS in borderline Hentai.) IMO. I'll take the one eyed caped swordsman with wrist rockets anyday over this shit.

by Stalkeye
I for the most part prefer watching Anime in it's native language solely due to the piss poor American Voiceovers it's as if they were hired from Community College or waiting on tables. As for the Brits, I have heard more than enough Cockny accents on Television these days oh, and not to mention how your countrymen have snagged most of the roles for American Comic Icons in film: Batman, Superman, Spiderman,etc. No need to be salty Mate, you are now witnessing the second British Invasion. Thank gawd Marvel didnt cast a Brit to star as Captain America. That would be a spat on the face of us Yanks, no? :P

Bring on Berserk
by Rob Jenson
I love Berserk and can't wait for this. I'm a little worried they've toned the sex and especially the violence way down for this. I didn't see a single speck of blood in that whole trailer, and Berserk ain't shy about the gore. In fact, it uses gore wisely and the violence lends the story a certain weight that would be absent without it. Same for the sex. Guts better spill some guts.

Why do Japanese use adult voices for adolescents?
by JudasPriestly
I'm talking about Guts of course. It's not like he bypassed puberty or anything. They pretty much did this with the orginal anime too. And the Japanese voice actor for Isidro in the videogame sounded like an idiot, but certainly not like a boy. I would actually prefer an English dub to the Japanese since Berserk takes place in a pseudo-version of Europe. Maybe they'll even hire an actual teen voice actor for teen Guts.

Not feeling CG in Anime, both in Berserk and Dragon Age
by kirttrik
And I didn't like the Appleseed adaptations either, still, I think taking an anime sensibility to CG films would be fantastic. If you look at the Berserk clips, the winged Demon is cell shaded CG, also some of the crowd scenes and cavalry scenes are done digitally. I've seen similar attempts that worked with mecha stories, like the new Macross films and series, but for organic creatures it is still odd and noticeable. That said, it would be fantastic if they did all 3 story arcs to Berserk, what a great story.

Trenox, I don't think the "eclipse" will be changed, BUT
by JudasPriestly
The series isn't supposed to end at the eclipse, but detailing how Guts and Casca escape from it. I really can't say why they're retelling what the original anime already has. They could easily shoe-horn Skullknight and Puck into a second series. But I guess they're trying to make Berserk more mainstream. Good luck with that. All you have to do is read the manga to realize that it is far from mainstream as you can get.

Why not? I assume it's just easier and cheaper to have one voice actor voice two parts than to hire and/or train a kid to do it. Plus, I know for a fact One Piece uses the main voice actors for extra roles.

With grain prices, market expert Jerry Gulke says he doesn't know for sure where prices are going, but he does know where they are not going – back up to record highs. But, he also doesn't think they are headed too much further south, either.
Farming is entering a systemic change, Gulke, president of The Gulke Group, told attendees at the 2014 Top Producer Seminar in Chicago, Ill. "The easy money of selling high and buying low is gone," he says.
Hear Gulke's full audio analysis:
Record-high prices for corn and other grains turned on production in other areas of the world, Gulke says. "This global marketplace is now a two-way street," he says. Of course, more competition typically equals a much larger supply of grain, which was the case last year. This caused prices to drop.
But, today's low prices are the source of some good news. Gulke says we are now in a demand-rebuilding state. "With today's prices, we can buy demand back and slowly build our way out of this," he says.
The livestock industries, exports and ethanol will all be anxious to use $4 corn, Gulke says. "Our feeding rates go up when corn is cheap," he says.
Of course, $4 corn doesn't sound as grand as the $6 and $7 corn seen recently. "But, I think most guys think they can make money at $4.50 corn, assuming they get a reasonable yield," he says.
With these tighter margins, Gulke says, farmers should really explore their crop insurance options for this year. He says farmers should aim for 85% protection. Additionally, he says farmers should look to reduce their input costs and cost of production, if possible.
Farmers will need to use marketing tools to stay competitive and profitable this year, Gulke says. "Be flexible and use the tools that you have to keep from making a big mistake," he says. "This is not an easy task to go through, but we can make it through these times."

News Releases
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. The Manitoba Moose served notice that they arent yet willing to cede the North Division to Grand Rapids, breaking the Griffins nine-game point streak with a 5-3 win on Tuesday at Van Andel Arena.
League-leading Grand Rapids (37-13-1-3) entered the night with a 10-point cushion over the second-place Moose (32-16-3-3), but Manitoba built a trio of two-goal leads to earn its first win in four tries against the Griffins this season. In the process, the Moose became the second team since Dec. 10 a span of 15 home games and just the fourth all season to escape Van Andel Arena with a regulation win.
Manitoba capitalized off a turnover deep in the Griffins end to take the lead on the games first shot, with Jason King solving Joey MacDonald from the slot at 1:48. The Moose made it a 2-0 game by burning Grand Rapids top-ranked power play at the 7:19 mark. Mike Brown chased down the puck along the right boards, swooped in on MacDonald and beat him with a shot along the ice for his Manitoba-record fifth shorthanded goal of the season.
The Griffins began to carry the play and finally got on the board 8:28 into the second period, when Nate DiCasmirro flipped a backhand between Wade Flaherty and the right post for his third goal in the last two games. Donald MacLean earned the second assist to extend his point streak to 16 games, one shy of Derek Kings five-year-old team record. Grand Rapids then tied it off a faceoff in the Moose zone with 2:59 left in the frame, as Eric Manlow turned and whipped a shot past Flaherty from the right circle. For the period, the Griffins enjoyed a 16-2 advantage in shots, giving them a 24-9 margin through 40 minutes.
Early in the third, just two seconds after a Manitoba goal had been disallowed, King notched his second of the night off the ensuing faceoff at 1:42. A defensive breakdown then allowed the Moose to score their fourth goal at 4:25, on only their 13th shot. From the right boards, Lee Goren found Ryan Bayda streaking all alone down the slot, and Bayda put a fake on MacDonald before scoring on his forehand to give the visitors a 4-2 lead.
Jiri Hudler made things interesting with 1:37 remaining, scoring on a blast from the top of the right circle to make it 4-3, but Goren scored into an empty net 16 seconds later to seal Manitobas win. MacDonald made 13 saves while seeing his bid for a team record-tying eighth straight win fall by the wayside, and Flaherty finished with 28 stops for the victory.
After concluding their four-game homestand with a 3-1 mark, the Griffins will hit the road for a Thursday night matchup against the Cleveland Barons. Game time at Quicken Loans Arena is set for 7:05 p.m.

According to a new report from the getting cialis generally pro-nuclear organization, Climate Progress, nuclear power is just about the most expensive carbon-free option on the table today. In response, the organization is considering completely eliminating nuclear power from it's plan to make the world's power generation carbon free.
Nuclear power plants being built today are required to have strict safety measures as well as waste disposal plans that make them significantly more expensive than previous nuclear power plants. The result is that prices for nuclear power have increased, currently at around 30 cents per kW/h. Or, roughly three times the cost of today's average utilities, ten times the cost of reducing power use through efficiency and double the cost of solar thermal.
Climate Progress (and EcoGeek) are happy to encourage existing plants to continue producing power, and are excited about possible new technologies that will lower the price. But nuclear power, the way it currently exists, is not only a bad idea because of waste and the buy viagra from britain dangers of nuclear proliferation...it makes less financial sense than solar and wind.
Via Climate Progress and Earth2Tech
written by Global Patriot, January 06, 2009
Fact is, neither of www.aldentheatre.org these costs are known or properly accounted for in financial models.
written by Cleanfutureenergy, January 06, 2009
However, because the world has not built a nuclear power plant for so long, nobody actually knows what they will cost.
Given that they promised us free electricity last time round, I take stories from that side with a big pinch of salt as well.
written by Phil, January 06, 2009
written by Tristram, January 06, 2009
Phil: sounds plausible. However this has only little to do with the costs that are discussed here. A nuclear power plant has huge runing costs, huge security costs, huge waste treatement costs. I you concern was about what to do with all the the best site official canadian pharmacy waste, in a wind turbing you can recycle almost every thing, in a nuclear powerplant almost nothing is recyclable as it is contaminated
written by Enrique, January 06, 2009
Wind turbines could be recycled. Where are you going to store nuclear waste?
written by jhv, January 06, 2009
written by Matt, January 06, 2009
Billions of dollars just to boil water (in order to turn a turbine to create electricity.) I'd think we'd have many more creative (and more sustainable) options toward producing electricity, and it seems Climate Progress may agree also. How much money have we've spent already just studying and lobbying for a resurgence in nuclear power? It didn't work before and the public is way too uncomfortable with the technology to make it work in the future.
What saddens me the viagra canada generic most is how it's proven that the best money we can spend is toward making our lives more energy efficient - first. If those billions of dollars could go toward making our exiting homes more efficient - we'd never think twice nuclear non-renewable power generation again.
written by EV, January 06, 2009
The problem with determining the true cost of nuclear power has always been 1) the radioactive waste and 2) keeping it from the bad guys.
1) It's called nuclear reenrichment. It drastically reduces the ammount of waste and the resulting waste in much less radioactive and easier to store that the ~90% reusable stuff we have today.
written by jhv, January 06, 2009
written by Graduate, January 06, 2009
Now the simple truth is I would rather have a wind turbine in my back yard. It if brakes down I don't have to worry about much. But anytime a nuclear plant goes down its a big deal and a lot more people are effected.
Just because we have the ability harness harness nuclear fission does not mean we should. Going nuclear is a calculated risk. We calculate the chances of www.eastgreenbushlibrary.org something going wrong, the chances somebody will attack it and so on. They build it so it can withstand a certain level of disaster. But again thats how the world trade center was build...withstand a certain level of disaster! Where wind, solar and geothermal is low risk. It seems that by increasing the online viagra without a prescription use of nuclear power so to does the problem of supporting and www.beverly.org risks inherent with it. I forgot to mention the old problem of just war. How many countries are trying to build reactors? Our government doesn't want most of those countries to build them. Israel just bombed one and threatened to take out another...
It seem like the power vs. weapon vs. accident vs. storage surrounding fission is not worth it. Be real who goes to war over wind turbines or who tries to smuggle wind turbines. You don't have to store used wind turbines for a 1000 years or who creates a dirty turbine bomb.
The point is we are smart. But not smart enough to think of everything that might happen. Put the development resources into sources of power that don't require the mining, burning, processing and refining of levitra shop fuels. there is plenty of energy naturally free we just have to be smart enough and united enough to figure out how to tap it.
written by Phil, January 06, 2009
written by bbm, January 06, 2009
Something like that is expected to deliver at 10 cents per kwh.
And that doesn't even take into account newer technologies like pebble bed helium cooled reactors.
Renewables, even if cheaper, are intermittent and/or weakly scalable (at present).
Nuc plants can provide base load more easily than wind or solar (though I do expect solar to be a huge player in time).
The waste issue is a bounded, solvable problem.
written by Joel, January 07, 2009
written by Antonio, January 07, 2009
You could see the externalized costs of waste disposal, mining the fuel and health-related deaths from same, security costs throughout the buy cialis in england full fuel cycle, all as further public subsidies.
Also, the liability waivers they've received from the government(taxpayers).
In other words, if something does go wrong, as it eventually will, the companies are not liable over some small dollar amount. Damages from any nuclear accident will be HUGE.
It's time we leapfrog to clean and green, invest in the research and lowest tramadol price online production of solar, wind, geothermal.
written by David, January 15, 2009
written by Dana, January 19, 2009
Those claiming that renewables can't be sufficiently scaled up and can't provide baseload power need to research concentrated solar thermal and geothermal power. Climate Progress is a great site to research these technologies, which can provide baseload power on the order of half the cost of power from new nuclear plants, according to the study in question.
written by Amy, September 08, 2009
with all its limitations, is it realistic to rely solely on renewable energy? Instead of bashing nuclear energy and trying to eliminate it altogether we should be focusing on ways to improve and sustain nuclear plants in ways that are environmentally friendly... does anyone agree with me?

Could a few of us get some help with an overwhelmingly big idea? We call it the Co-opernation. We could also use help naming things.
My beloved and I would often get frustrated watching TED talks, seeing all these lovely, brilliant ideas that we were afraid would never happen in the real world, even though they made more sense than what we saw around us.
When she passed away, a few of us started working on an idea she inspired.
The idea was to stop fighting AGAINST anything and to simply use every single tool at our disposal to make a better place for the people we loved. We looked in a lot of right places and even more wrong ones, focused on seeing tools as what they were rather than what they were used for, and a strange question presented itself.
Would it be possible to take the framework of a corporation, like a Valve or Mondragon, insert a whole bunch of other people's amazing ideas and basically, turn corporate campuses into charter cities? Could we free people to simply help other people and remove most of the worries society has created? If we do this right could we hire anybody who wants to be a good person and contribute to the greater good and instantly free them from the current messes we're in?
So, we found our 'yes' answer pretty early (mostly standing on the shoulders of giants who hate each other), but it was a scary revolutionary confrontational thing and somehow that just felt WRONG. So we dedicated ourselves to making it gentle, harmless, hilarious, and non-threatening, and we're pretty much there.
And now we need help! We're shy, but since TED really is the biggest source we have, we want to start here. Our hope is to get some help organizing us, getting this idea out there and into some better hands so it can grow and get even better, then we can hopefully crowdsource a mellow revolution.
If anybody could point us in the right direction it'd be great!

I love this scent. I couldn't find it anywhere in the stores, so I decided to buy online. I am pleased with my purchase, but I have noticed that all of the perfumes that I buy online don't seem to have that lasting aroma. Maybe it's just the one's that I buy. I just remember being a child and grandma would put her perfume on in the morning and would smell the same at dinner. ;) All and all, I am very pleased with Fragrancex and will continue to purchase from them.

I keep on buying this scent every time I buy anything from FragranceX. It is a classic for me I receive so many compliments when I wear it. I feel fresh and I hope that I always find it because sometimes it is sold out and I have to wait a bit. I would recommend it to whoever wants to have a fresh floral and joyful experience.

Comments about Love At First Glow Perfume:
My daughter has had a hard time trying to find one of her most favourite fragrances and I scored large when I located Love At First Glow on FragranceX, and made it so easy to please. Thank you for the happy scream and smile on my daughter's face this Christmas morning!
I ultimately found a reasonably priced bottle at a local drug store and purchased to put in a clothes bag headed to the women's shelter this Christmas - I'm sure it brought a smile to someone else's face too!

Do not waste your well earned money. I am a...
Do not waste your well earned money. I am a beautician that constantly looks into new treatments that help 'turn back time' for both myself and my clients. I read all the comments stating it was painful etc but thought i'd be brave and give it a go. I wish i'd found out that it doesn't actually make any improvements AT ALL ... before I paid to have it done!!! I wish i'd been braver and had a face lift instead for just £1,500 more. I am 403 but, can modestly say, I have good genes and do not really require a face lift JUST YET.Please learn from my EXPENSIVE mistake

My experience too, except that I didn't spend as much money finding out that it is a total waste of time. I've had a caesarean by local anaesthetic and another radio frequency treatment but Thermage had me almost jumping out the chair. Interestingly, when I told the staff member with whom I'd had facials and other treatments that I wanted to tighten up my cheek area, she looked a bit worried. She said I might be better off having volumising injections. I was in the chair ready to go with the treatment for which I'd paid so I checked again and said "so Thermage won't work for me? It doesn't do as is claimed, that is tighten skin?" Oh yes, I just thought that injectables might be good was the response. I don't so much mind wasting the money because I don't actually spend a lot on myself. I really resent being lied to, being conned. Jeannette

Here's how RW members rated this race (44 votes).
In short: great as everIn full: third time running this and its still as good as ever. organisation is seamless,plenty of toilets at the start(other race organisers take note!!, and the atmosphere is friendly and supportive all the way round. closed roads this year but in all honesty the route is pretty quiet on a sunday morning anyway, but I guess it must have helped to a degree.perfect conditions on the day,and I even managed a sprint finish! thanks again swallowfield scouts for organising a great race!Date of review: October 1, 2013
In short: I really enjoyed this oneIn full: Personally I don't listen to music on the go so the headphone ban was irrelevant to me, but honestly, I run a lot of village fun runs and the much-hyped "safety" aspect seems over the top in the circumstances.My only real annoyance was the astonishingly slow directions into the parking field; there was a massive queue which was quite unnecessary. Given they managed to organize four races to run simultaneously like clockwork they might have managed to organize a car park!Still, I thought the atmosphere and facilities were great, the marshals friendly, the route pleasant and relaxing, there was a play park for my littleun and the man with the mic cheered me over the line by name. I love it when that happens. Also I wasn't last. That's good too!Date of review: October 1, 2013
In short: Could be so much betterIn full: This was a decent enough event, and with a bit more thought could have been so much better. The route is well marked and marshalled. The setting is very nice and having closed road is always a nice bonus. I do think that they should straight line the finish a little bit more instead of having to make two turns off the road. But I'm nit picking now.The problems I found were with the parking. There is a large open field between the start and finish line, so it's ideally positioned. That said there was no urgency by those in charge to get cars in and parked. The queue was back onto the main road and you could tell people were getting annoyed and frustrated, as they just wanted to get in, parked and start warming up. My second complaint was regarding the "no music" rule. We were all told on the start line that we could not listen to music on the route or face being disqualified. There was no mention of this on their website or in the booklet they sent out once you had signed up. It's a bit late in the day to be telling 400 people this. There were loads of annoyed people running the route with headphones wrapped around their wrists, and there was no need for this either. With closed roads there was zero traffic, and besides you are running on country lanes not main roads. Fix the parking and let us listen to music and this could be a really great event.Date of review: September 24, 2013
In full: a well organised event combining the duathlon & other races.the organisers managed to run these events side by side without any problems well done. As these events did cross paths at least at one point i can understand the reason for a ban on headphones for the safty of all participants.one runner near me was politly asked by a marshal to run with just one earphone, he refused and showed a boorish arrogance to the request. to that bloke and others please remember these people are volunteers without them there would be no race.Date of review: September 22, 2013
In short: Great 10kIn full: When I do a 10k I like a medal and a chocolate bar at the end, and Swallowfield delivered on this, as well as giving a water bottle! It's good value for money and chip timing would be nice as the start is quite tight, but it's not a big problem. The course is not as hilly as the elevation I saw beforehand suggested, but the second 5k is pretty flat, and after the uphill you get a great downhill. The marshals were pretty enthusiastic on the whole.At the time of writing this review the results are not yet up (4pm) - I guess I have been spoilt by the insane efficiency of Teignbridge Trotters in Devon who appear to be able to post their results more or less as soon as a race is over, despite using manual timing! I think race organisers should provide a statement on their websites saying when they expect to have the results available.On the whole this is a great race. One suggestion: more signage as you enter the village to say where the car park is. Date of review: September 22, 2013
In short: Decent 10kIn full: Decent 10k In fairness , not chipped which is a bummer but times are accurate . Bit frustrating at the start being told we would be 'disqualified ' if we wore headphones , seems a bit over the top . I'd definitely run it again thought, first 5k is reasonably hilly but last 5k isn't too bad at all. Potential pb for sure Date of review: September 22, 2013
In short: What a lovely morning!In full: Thank you so much to everyone involved in organising this race. It seems that the whole village had a role!Super course, with enough ups and downs to be interesting, but not enough to be a toughy.Great organisation with enough marshals cheering along the way.Super!Date of review: September 22, 2013
In short: Nice route and well organisedDate of review: May 21, 2013
In short: lovely scenery, and well organisedIn full: second time doing this now and it has come on leaps and bounds from the inaugural event 2 years ago. very well organised race, and good marshalling.scenery nice all the way around and a good finish on a grassy playing field.Date of review: September 19, 2012
In short: nice race for someone that hasn't been running for a whileIn full: Due to illness I have been out of training, so worried about how I would get on. In fact, no fears, the course has a couple of hills but nothing too bad and the marshalls round the course really boosted my confidence. Seeing Johnathan Tickle an extra treat - I like a good celebrity spot :-)Date of review: September 18, 2012

CHICAGO, IL - Happy reunions take place at airports every day. Usually they involve people, not pets. But at O'Hare Wednesday afternoon, an Iraqi war veteran was re-united with the dog who served with him.
It was hard to tell who was more excited. Sergeant Jason Bos, or his Labrador Retriever, Cila. Bos and the explosive detection dog worked nearly 100 missions together in Iraq, as well as protecting President Obama. When Bos heard Cila was retiring, he hoped she could end up with him.
"A lot of these dogs aren't able to go back to their handler, and I'm one of the lucky ones," Bos explains.
Bos had connected with Cila right from the start of K-9 training.
"No one could work with this dog, and yet, she listened to me," he says. "I don't know why she listened to me. Maybe it's my inflection, maybe it's my personality."
Cila had ended her career with another handler. Bos needed help paying for her trip home, Mission K-9 Rescue helped, along with the American Humane Association.
"He emailed me and he just said, 'I don't know how I'm going to get the dog home. Can you help me get Cila home?" Mission K9 Rescue's Kristen Maurer says of her conversation with Bos. "And just emailed him back, 'absolutely.'".
On average, military search dogs save about 150 to 200 lives during their service, making them truly a service member's best friend.

It was awesome and creepy and amazing! I love this show so much. Don't have a favourite character yet though. I liked how they completely changed up the format, with the story playing of in the past with flashes to the future.
One thing I was a little confused about was what and whom the nun was feeding in the woods? I take it the doctor is responsible for whatever it is. Also, they brought in Kit Walker because he was supposedly Bloody Face, yet the real Bloody Face(or whom I think is Bloody Face) was already in a "cell"? Is that right? Sometimes they went through the dialogue so fast I couldn't keep up.
Kit Walker said that they were not women, they were monsters. And the nun was feeding some monsters. And the thing that cut Adam Levine's arm was probably a monster. And the room the doctor was cleaning had like big scratches on the walls, so probably the monsters lived in there. I have no idea what kind of monsters they are tho.

Today's Front Pages Analysis
In devastated Iowa, 'Epic Surge' and 'Swath of Sorrow'
"Iowa besieged by skies and rivers."
The Chicago Tribune summed up the sorrow and sadness in western Iowa and the fear and frustration in eastern Iowa as the state dealt with the deaths of four Boy Scouts in a tornado and flooding along rivers swollen by record rains.
"EPIC SURGE," The Gazette in Cedar Rapids proclaimed in a display that incorporated both the front and back pages. With the Cedar River flooding 100 city blocks, the newspaper used a three-deck headline:
High Water Overtakes Downtown Cedar Rapids
Thousands Evacuated in Unprecedented Flood
Power Loss Widespread; Water in Short Supply
"It's a hell of a front page," Editor Steve Buttry said. With floodwaters a half-block from the newspaper's office, the staff was working off generators in a sweltering newsroom.
Today's headline, Buttry said, "was team work. We started the headline brainstorming in the afternoon, and it continued (around other tasks) for hours. Designer Michelle Wiese came up with the wrap idea. Rae Riebe, our Page One editor, designed the page."
The main photo showed a marooned city hall and county jail and courthouse, which generally sit on an island. The newspaper's Web site said: "No longer an island." Said Buttry: "Liz Martin shot the photo from the Interstate 380 bridge, the only downtown bridge that was open. The city hall building on the island is a downtown landmark, so the image really captures what happened here."
After printing extra copies of today's edition, The Gazette is doing a second press run because newspapers have sold out.
In a column that will run this weekend, Buttry — who is new as The Gazette's editor — wrote that the newspaper resisted an order to evacuate its downtown office, noting that news crews perform "essential tasks for the community in a time of disaster." A disaster plan with an alternative newsroom is in place if the newspaper must evacuate.
With rivers across Iowa and elsewhere in the Midwest above flood stage, it's being called historic flooding. A blog by a Gazette librarian showed front pages from March 1929 flooding, a "record until today."
In western Iowa, the Sioux City Journal showed a "Swath of Sorrow" at a Boy Scout camp after a "Twister struck, killed within seconds." In a heartbreaking front page, the nearby Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald offered comments and photos from vigils for the four teenage victims. A quote was its banner headline: "'We are a family.'"
The Lincoln (Neb.) Journal Star quoted survivors on "their harrowing twister experience." This was no small-town news. National newspapers The New York Times and USA Today told the story on Page One. "Pelting Rain, Deafening Howl, Then Deadly Chaos for Scouts," the Times said.
Front-page accolades were offered for the boys' actions in helping the injured. USA Today explained, "Boys put first aid drills into action." The Wichita Eagle — which also covered Kansas tornados that killed two — said: "Boys epitomized scout motto: Be prepared."
The Denver Post headlined the news from across Iowa. "'At God's mercy,'" it said.
Kate Kennedy is front pages editor at the Newseum.

A bold and jagged outcrop of the Western Cape fold escarpment, the Cederberg range is one of the most magical wilderness areas in the Western Cape. Rising with a striking presence on the eastern side of the Olifants River Valley, around 200km north of Cape Town, these high sandstone mountains and long, dry valleys manage to combine accessibility with remote harshness, offering something for hikers, campers, naturalists and rock climbers.
The Cederberg Wilderness Area, flanking the N7 between Citrusdal and Clanwilliam, was created to protect the silt-free waters of the Cederberg catchment area, but it also provides a recreational sanctuary with over 250km of hiking trails. In a number of places, the red-hued sandstone has been weathered into grotesque, gargoyle-like shapes and a number of memorable natural features. Throughout the area there are also numerous San rock-art sites, an active array of Cape mountain fauna, from baboon and small antelope to leopard, caracal and aardwolf, and some notable montane fynbos flora, including the gnarled and tenacious Clanwilliam cedar and the rare snow protea.
The Cederberg is easily reached from Cape Town on the N7: the two main, though very small, towns of Citrusdal and Clanwilliam lie just off the highway near, respectively, the southern and northern tips of the mountain range, but are not in the mountains themselves, and are not the places to base yourself if you want to hike.Read More
Cederberg rock art
Cederberg rock art
The Cederberg has around 2500 known rock-art sites, estimated to be between one and eight thousand years old. They are the work of the first South Africans, hunter gatherers known as San or Bushmen, the direct descendants of some of the earliest Homo sapiens who lived in the Western Cape 150,000 years ago.
One of the best ways to see rock art is on a self-guided 4km walk from Traveller's Rest Farm along the Sevilla Trail, which takes in ten sites.
Another way to see paintings is on a half-day tour to Warmhoek site near Clanwilliam, run by the excellent Living Landscape Project, 18 Park St in Clanwilliam (027 482 1911, http://www.cllp.uct.ac.za), and led by competent local guides. The project is the brainchild of archeologist John Parkington, from the University of Cape Town, whose books on rock art in the Cederberg (The Mantis and the Moon and Cederberg Rock Paintings) offer the best interpretation of the puzzling and beautiful images you'll see delicately painted on rocks and overhangs.

As soon as you get that little press pass nametag and step into the press room, it's a whole different world. Sports journalists are relaxed yet professional; they're having fun, but it's still serious work. This is a job for them, like any other their office just happens to be the Target Center. We felt like we didn't quite belong, fans among pros, but that was the trick to it. We had to blend in, like all this was familiar. Self-restraint was the name of the game keep stupid, excited grinning to a minimum when you walk out of the players tunnel, and don't gawk when you run into players and staff in the halls.
Walking around in the halls, we would randomly bump into current and former players and other head-honchos of the NBA. Mark walked by then-injured guard Marco Jaric, while Matt bumped into Fred Hoiberg after he got a drink from the press room. Hoiberg said, Excuse me, and Matt replied, Sorry. A highly memorable conversation if there ever was one.
Walking back to the court after halftime, Mark was en route to his seat but notices a tall, professional-looking man behind him. It was none other than Hall-of-Famer and Vice President of Basketball Operations Kevin McHale! Mark was blocking his path, and McHale started smacking a program in his hand impatiently.
Press members are given their own assigned seats, marked by cool nametag. So there's our names with Manitou Messenger prominently displayed next to bigger, more legitimate press outlets like the Associated Press and Star Tribune. It was all sort of surreal to us, making us feel like strangers in a foreign land.
Being so close to the court provided a better insight on the communication between players and coaches, between players during timeouts, and up-close view of players body language on the floor. Against the Hawks, for instance, Kevin Garnett looked tired and sort of defeated.
Halftime for press guys is also cool. Instead of a line for the bathroom, we have our own private one. Instead of paying through the teeth for snacks, you get free food.
There are some parts of the press experience which were a little awkward though. As a press guy, you're professionally obliged NOT to cheer. This felt so weird for a fans like us half of our enjoyment of watching the NBA is freaking out when something spectacular happens. It was hard for me to control my emotions and look smooth when in reality I wanted to jump up out of my seat.
The best part of the experience came after the game: the coach's press conference was when the press people asked questions, followed by the locker room visit. The press conference gave a good look to the kinds of questions journalists proffer. Some weren't that intellectually deep and didn't really scratch the surface of the Wolves underlying problems, but this was made up for by some of the journalists charisma and conversation skills. All in all, sports journalists impressed us with their laid-back but classy vibe.
The locker room was a revealing peek into the Timberwolves. Most guys were already in the back rooms, showering and getting ready to leave, but Mark Madsen was there, Troy Hudson (and his seemingly endless dreadlocks) paid us a visit, Randy Foye swept in and out to grab something from his locker, and finally KG showed up. Madsen is simply a classy, genuinely great guy ... he is, after all, an Eagle Scout (seriously). He was always up for a quick interview or autograph and seemed to be living in the moment and really appreciating things.
All the little details (Ricky Daviss personal fridge pack, the corner locker of the late Malik Sealy) fade away as The Kid himself walks in. And we're star struck. One of the greatest power forwards of all time, and he's within reaching distance. He gave a quick interview, rose up out of his chair, towering over us all, and left.
This experience was really incredible for both of us. We met some famous players, occupied sweet seats and saw a day in the life of a sports journalist.
But we wouldn't give up the great parts of being a fan to do that every game. What makes being a sports fan so great is going crazy when your team does something incredible, something you can't do as a professional. Being a true sports journalist entails a lot more than being just a fan.
