Interstate Reliability Project (Interstate)
Central Connecticut Reliability Project (Central)
Greater Springfield Reliability Project (GSRP)
The GSRP was fully placed in service on November 20, 2013. The Project was designed to improve transmission system reliability, ease transmission bottlenecks in the greater Springfield and north central Connecticut areas, and meet more stringent federal and regional reliability standards.
The Project began in late 2010 to upgrade 39 miles of transmission lines on an existing right-of-way between Ludlow, Massachusetts, and Bloomfield, Connecticut.
With over 600 new structures and 13 new or rebuilt substations and switching stations, major construction on the Project was finished both on time and under budget, despite challenging weather events that included Superstorm Sandy and the blizzard of 2013.
While major construction is now complete, Project crews will continue to be on portions of the right-of-way and in the stations conducting some remaining restoration work, miscellaneous surveys, and other related activities into 2014.
The Greater Springfield Reliability Project is one of the major transmission projects that are part of the New England East-West Solution (NEEWS).

- " Great Place to stay at, usually helpful staffmembers. "

- " The best thing about this place is that you meet a lot of fellow travellers. The guesthouse itself however is poorly run. Not only will Bob (the owner) try to charge you more than indicated on here he also showed bad attitude towards our well-intented feedback. I felt like he was trying to get the most money out of every situation. Instead of booking a tour there you should organise one yourself. His prices are ridiculous. We saw the same places as others for more than 200$ less! "
- 12 Oct 2013 johannes
- " We spent altogether 8 nights at Golden Gobi and we went on a 9 day tour to the Gobi Desert organized by this hostel. We were very happy with both our stay and the trip. The staff at Golden Gobi are very helpful, professional and friendly and so were our tour guide and the driver. We highly recommend Golden Gobi for their services. They made our stay in Mongolia truly memorable. "

Lawyer defends Mont. family accused in phone scam
Tuesday - 1/22/2013, 5:45pm EST
HELENA, Mont. (AP) - The lawyer for a Montana family accused of cramming $70 million in bogus charges on phone bills nationwide says his clients followed industry standards.
The Federal Trade Commission accuses Steven Sann, his wife, son and accountant of running companies that added the unauthorized charges to customers' phone bills since 2008.
The commission is asking a judge to force the Sanns to stop operating and to freeze their assets.
The Sanns' attorney, Andrew B. Lustigman said in a statement Tuesday the companies' services were sold in a long-accepted and responsible fashion. He says customers were given repeated opportunities to accept or reject the services.
The FTC complaint alleges Steven Sann used some of the money to buy land and pay for his legal bills in a separate medical marijuana case.

TRI-CITIES, Wash. -- Thursday the WIAA basketball tournaments begin. For the first time since 2008 the Richland Bombers are in the elite eight. Richland starts its run through Tacoma with Arlington--not as tough a draw as the 2008 Bellarmine Prep team with Avery Bradley (Boston Celtics) and Abdul Gaddy (UW Huskies). The new group of Bombers are ready to take advantage of this opportunity.
"The guys are really anxious to get there. They've been very focused on getting to Tacoma for so long, and now it's finally here. Getting that itinerary set and all those little things taken care of. They're just anxious to get there. I don't know how many times they stopped me. You look at them and they look different. They're just excited to get out there and get it done," Richland boys' head coach Earl Streufert said.
The Kamiakin girls will join Richland in Tacoma, familiar territory for many of the Lady Braves who went last season. Now is the time they want to show they can go all the way. Kamiakin draws a tall Seattle Prep squad with three different starters standing at least six feet tall. The Braves talk about the excitement level of the state tournament.
"In the locker room they're thrilling to be going. As a coach you get concerned about trying to keep a routine. We have such a routine. We had no games where we've spent the night, not staying in your own bed. So you try to stay in a routine, shooting practice," Kamiakin girls' head coach Lane Schumacher said.
"I think we have a good chance up there. If we can play our game, we should do well. It's a matter of if we come with fundamentals and we come with our heart and play tough," added senior Courtney Nelson, Mid-Columbia Conference girls' player of the year.

In the nonfiction audiobook The Authoritarians, psychologist Bob Altemeyer shares his research on the aggressive and hostile nature of the authoritarian personality and the rise of the Right-Wing Authoritarian personality in the United States. He wrote the book in 2006, during George W. Bush's second term as president. In a clear and direct voice, Altemeyer performs his own fascinating work. He details how authoritarianism is destroying traditional conservatism and what this means for the future of American politics and democracy.
The foreword is provided by John W. Dean, former Nixon White House counsel and New York Times best-selling author.
©2008 Bob Altemeyer; (P)2008 Bob Altemeyer
"A must-read for... everyone"
While Bob Altemayer's personal political stance is occasionally discernable from his analysis of data, and his investigation of the subject is quite America-centric, Altemayer provides us with a paradigm of surprising explanatory and even predictive power.
If you are interested in politics or psychology, I highly recommend this book. If you wind up taking offense at its presentation of scientific data, perhaps you need this book more than anyone. Authoritarianism is a potential danger to all of us, even on the individual level, and if you find you dislike hearing about it, it's a sure sign you need to listen more closely.
"A Most Important Study"
Sited by John Dean's "Conservatives Without Conscience" (another recommended book), Altemeyer summarizes his studies for non-academic reading. This psychological study explains Authoritarian followers and leaders on today's political scene.
"Muddle Headed Followers."
This turned out to be one of my favorite Audible books so far along with The Drunkards Walk. How Randomness Rules our Lives. I think it's actually an important book that's been flying below the radar because it wasn't commercially published. At least not at first, it may be now. Liberals, moderates, and conservatives alike, really need to read it. When you've finished you'll better understand not just Nazi Germany, but the IRA in Ireland, the Cultural Revolution under Mao, the war in Yugoslavia under Karadzic and even Pat Robertson. Explaining Pat Robertson is no small accomplishment but the authors index is the best explanation yet of radical Muslims as well. Have you ever wondered why there seems to be an endless supply of people willing to blow themselves up? Well that's because there is an endless supply and this book explains why that is. It all revolves around a way of thinking called the RWA index. RWA stands for Right Wing Authoritarian. An unfortunate title since it doesn't help his credibility with conservatives and conservatives need to read this as much as anyone. He chose this title I assume because in the US and Canada these people tend to gravitate to the political right more than the left but they're found on the left as well. A better title might have been the Muddle Headed Followers index. The index itself is politically neutral. Everyone knows a few of these of people. They're the ones in the office who don't reason from fact to opinion. Instead, they choose an opinion that fits the way they want the world to be, then select facts that support them. I personally know so many of these people I've begun to think that reasoning from fact to opinion must be something rare and difficult and maybe should be taught as a mandatory part of a civics class. It doesn't seem to come naturally in my area. But then look at where I'm from.
"Very good"
This is a good choice for your next audio book. It's about the psychology of politics, why certain people are so angry when they discuss politics. There is a certain mindset and it is explained here. Very very interesting and read by the author very well.
"Settle Down Authoritarian Readers."
If you misinterpret the message of this book, you will find that it appears to be some professor trashing what appears to be single political groups. He isn't. The book does draw parallels between his theories on human behavior and current political issues, but if, upon reading this book, you find that he is getting too political, you are missing the message. These are observations, not opinions (for the most part).
"A good listen and clear explanations"
I thought this might be a cheap audiobook because the cover looks like cheap computer generated graphics and clipart, but the inside is pure gold. It is read by the author, which in this case is a good thing because the author has a good speaking voice, has an infectious interest in the topic, and doesn't mind adding side quips that give it a conversational tone.
Besides the good audio, the subject matter and information are revelatory. I have often wished I had a good answer to why certain dogmatic people seem like they can't be reasoned with and this not only gives rational explanations, it also gives the backgrounds to the explanations for clear understanding. I'm glad I bought this audio book!
"Authoritarian politicians and their subjects"
One of the points made by Altemeyer is that right-wing authoritarians are viciously intolerant of ideas and opinions that do not confirm the ideas and opinions given them by their masters. Look at statements made by low-scoring reviewers of this book, and you'll see what he means.
Sad that the people who could benefit the most from this book are those who would take the greatest offense.
"Good Book but there are unresolved research questi"
It's a good book but why isn't his theory more widely accepted or well known? From a research standpoint Dr. Altermeyer has done the research about as well as it can be done. The whole analysis about how the different personality types conduct War Games is splendid. Also, personality research is a notoriously fishy subject due to the fact that you only get out what you put in, but I still can't help but wonder why his theory and research isn't more widely accepted in the academic world? This is important stuff. It seems to me that this particular subject is important and especially relevant because it answers several important questions like: how do we get ourselves into messy wars, and how do we end up with tyrannical leaders like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Obama, and George Bush? It can also tell you where Islamic fundamentalists and Islamic terrorist come from. Personally, I think Dr. Altermeyer is not accepted as credible because his research calls into question and draws attention to things that the mainstream academic powers that be don't want people to know or think about. Because if people did become more aware of the things that are in Dr. Altermeyer's book then they wouldn't be so easily brainwashed by politicians on the left or the right.
Yeah, so read this book at your own risk. Once the corporatist state finds out that you know the truth you will end up in a FEMA camp. I'll see you there :-)
"Eye-Opening, a MUST-READ for all."
Whether you consider yourself left-wing, right-wing, tea party, this book is very informative. Without being judgmental, the author (who has been a psychologist conducting scientifically verifiable tests for ~40 years on the subject, with tens of thousands of individuals studied) shows what his research has revealed.
--------------------------------------------- Something to remember: the AUTHOR is right of center. He isn't a hippy or a huge left-winger. He is in an objective position to get objective data, and that's exactly what he does.
---------------------------------------------- I'm only halfway through the book and I already feel like I understand so much more about human nature, why people are the way they are. Seriously a life-changing listen.
"Good information but too political"
A confirmation and deepening of my understanding of why people accept the drivel which is the currency of American politics. However, in my opinion the author would have better served my needs, and his own, if he had omitted the political analysis. One other comment is that the treatment of the research results was too narrowly applied to American politics, and greater contrasts with international actors would have been very welcome.
"Brilliant Study of a kind of thinking"
This is a very interesting account of a certain mindset which seem more prevalent in the USA than in Europe. Prof. Altemeyer brings a hint of humour to his own reading of this book, so you get a real feel for a scientist at work, as well as his findings over many years. I would be delighted if there were more of his books available on Audible, as they would bring important work to a wider public - especially in this US election year.

Kerry Skarbakka on His Stendhal Series
Kerry Skarbakka, Stendhal No. 1, Corcoran Gallery, 2011. C-print. 48 x 54 in.
The Stendhal Syndrome, an illness officially named by Italian psychiatrist Graziella Magherini in the late 1970s, describes disorienting waves of euphoria brought on by viewing great works of Florentine Art. This intoxicating experience was first written about in the 19th century by the French author Stendhal (pen name of Marie-Henri Beyle) and is known to trigger dizziness, fainting, and even hallucinations.
This romantic notion that the pure power of great art could incapacitate people, sending them to their knees, has intrigued me for many years. Although I never fully experiencing it myself, I could relate to the sublime nature of true artistic expression and understood how it could reach so deeply into its unsuspecting viewer. That same rush of emotion, inspiration, anxiety, and even panic exists for me today and can only be compared to similar effects when witnessing the natural wonders of this planet.
The photographer stages the latest work in his Struggle to Right Oneself series in front of the Corcoran's Mount Corcoran
This series of images is an imaginative and often hyperbolic exploration into the Stendhal Syndrome, through creating various physical and psychological responses of an audience to art as viewed within the settings of museums, galleries, and even private collections. As narrative, the work is interested in the dialogue surrounding what is considered great art, the effects on the viewer, and the impact directed by its institutional environments.
Albert Bierstadt's painting of Mount Corcoran is emblematic of this intrinsic connection between Nature and Art and makes the perfect introduction to this new body of work. Founded by Thomas Cole, the Hudson River School was enamored with the idea of the "sublime" and capturing it within their paintings. For me, Bierstadt's Mount Corcoran, with its massive white peak enshrouded by clouds, idyllic cascading waterfalls and penetrating light evokes the right type of romanticism (right down to its massively ornate gold frame) necessary to begin this exploration.
For this leg of the journey, I'd like to thank the artists Stephen Chalmers, Jason Horowitz, Preston Poe and Clark Stoeckley for lending a very special hand. Additional thanks go to Eli Kerstein, Sam Kerstein, and Ewelina Boczkowska for their kind appearances and patience.

I've seen the beautiful bowls of folded recycled paper on the net a couple of times and always felt like I should try to do one. The one below has the description here.
This felt like a good project to take on as I had a good glossy magazine to use. Just showing a few images while making it, for a better description use the one I link to above.
For sealing the bowl I used a adhesive for wood, the choice was not completely a choice but more a lazy try since we had it at home. But when I think about it, it's not that bad of a choice since paper is made from wood… And the end result, quite good I think I will use it as a gift for a friend who will soon defend her thesis (I hope and guess that she is not reading my blog) and also I'll make a few and see if anyone wants to buy one:

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - Some key testimony was expected Wednesday at a Milwaukee inquest into the death of Derek Williams.
The man's mother was scheduled to take the stand, along with the Milwaukee police officers who were with the 22-year-old Williams when he died in their custody in 2011.
Williams had just been arrested for a street robbery when he gasped for air and collapsed. The squad car's video was public last summer, and the inquest was sought after a medical examiner changed the cause of Williams' death from natural causes to homicide.
The inquest was scheduled to run into next week.

- Great night outHard2pleaseDined on 9/20/2014My wife and I hadn't had a "date night" in months so we had been anticipating our night out for some time. We finally got to eat in the main dining room after several times being relegated to the back room. The food was top notch even though my wife was served a rare steak instead of her requested medium. The error earned her a free dessert. Carrot cake large enough four six people! Service was perfect and we ran into several people that we knew. Great evening out!Special Features:

- This restaurant was AWESOMELuv2BSpecialDined on 9/19/2014My cousin visited me, we are both Ruth's Chris fans. First of all the service was awesome, the staff always seemed to be "there" but never in the way. They were friendly, humorous and significantly enhanced the dining experience. When we left, we walked through I assume what was the main dining hall. There was a significantly noticeable difference in the noise level and general "brightness" in the room. We had not seen each other in several years and wanted to be able to chat. I think it would have been difficult in the main dining hall. So kudos to the hostess for seating us in a room where it was much quieter and we could have nice conversation. I am already planning my next night at Eddie Merlot'sSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Memorable Dining ExperienceOPICHAIRDined on 9/16/2014Like its prime choice meats, Eddie Merlot's is a cut above. This palatial mecca of fine dining takes your breath away from the moment you enter its welcoming doors. First time diners may clutch their wallets but believe me, it's worth every penny. The outstanding ambiance is enhanced by the pleasant hum of satisfied customers and by waiters who have mastered the art of table-side food preparation--try the Bananas Foster and watch the flame-throwers go to work. My wandering eyes caught a glimpse of a massive bone-in steak that seemed other worldly. The staff is very attentive and you will want to linger long after the desert plates have been whisked away. Take my word for it, you won't be disappointed--the staff guarantee it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I asked for my steak to be medium well and it was well burned and dried out and I should have sent it back. They ran out if certain salads due to a large party in on of the rooms. The guest I bright had to send the macaroni and cheese back because it was cold along with my mashed potatoes. This was an off night for the chef and I think that was due to the large party that was catered too. I was very disappointed in this dining experience because I brought my dearest friend to show off the restaurant and it was less than satisfactory!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/15/2014Visiting from the Philadelphia area for my sister's birthday. We had dinner at Eddie Merlot's in Columbus about a year ago and were very impressed with everything, but especially with the food. It was the perfect choice for my sister's birthday dinner.Special Features:
- Great FoodScucbusVIPDined on 9/15/2014First time to an Eddie Merlot's and we look forward to returning. We've been to Hyde Park and Ruth's Chris and we though this had them beat. Yes, they all do steaks great, but even the house wine (Eddie Merlot Merlot and Cab) were excellent as well as the sides. Only Con was that it took a good 5-7 minutes for anyone to stop at our table after we got seated (and we were ready to drink!)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time at eddie merlotsbrennakDined on 9/15/2014I took my husband for his birthday, this was our first time and to be honest I was skeptical based on other reviews I had read. He has been waiting to try dry aged steak. Our waitress, Theresa was fantastic. When we were chatting she left us alone and waited for the right time to check on us. She was also very helpful with choosing our entrées. We love fine dining and expect to wait for perfection. We were there for three hours and enjoyed every moment from appetizers to dessert and they gave my husband a cupcake with a candle for his special day. We had the mixed berries as our dessert, which is served table side and it is amazing. I would highly recommend this restaurant, it is now one of our favorites and we will be back soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service is not the sameCappyDined on 9/15/2014Food is the same, but the service was lacking since Vittorio left. My wife and I shared a dinner and a bus boy brought our potatoes and the steak out, gave me the steak and my wife the potatoes. No extra plate and in the past the waiter or waitress split the steak up between two plates. The service is usually what put this restaurant over the top. Now it is just another high end steak house.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- horribleTinaB2009Dined on 9/13/2014My husband and I chose to go to Eddie Merlot's to celebrate our wedding anniversary. To say we were disappointed is putting it mildly. Having to spend almost 4 hours to eat dinner was the least of our complaints. For a steakhouse, you would think that they would know how to cook a steak. My husband had to send his back once, and it still wasn't cooked to the requested temperature. My steak was sent back twice and again, was not cooked to the correct temperature. When we requested after dinner coffee, it took over 30 minutes to get it. We definitely won't return.Special Features:
- Great - and quickTimPicardDined on 9/13/2014My wife and I love great food and drink - but I am impatient. I wanna eat and run. We enjoyed a couple cocktails, a bottle of wine and four courses of food in well under two hours. Great food, perfect service, beautiful atmposphere and we had time to go home and continue our anniversary! I know where we'll go for our 27th ...Special Features:
- SusieDined on 9/12/2014We are never disappointed at Eddie Merlot. As a party of 8, we got the round table requested, our server was outstanding (Keri) Salmon, steaks, salads all wonderful.Special Features:

- DisappointedBButterburDined on 9/3/2014EM's is a nice place but overpriced for the experience. Table service was very good. We ordered the lobster mac and cheese and as the waiter was serving it he stopped because he noticed there was no lobster in it. He left the table with the bowl and returned moments later saying that there was lobster in it we just could not see it. He was right the first time, there was no lobster in it. I did not complain because I did not want to make my quests uncomfortable but this was a travesty. Steak portions were small and mediocre. Pretty sure I will not go back.Special Features:
- Fine DiningMeatandPotatoesDined on 9/3/2014A fine dining experience, prices to impress and the quality to match. Attentive service and a variety of high end meal choices.Special Features:
- Almost PerfectconstanpDined on 8/31/2014First time at restaurant. Celebrating 29th wedding anniversary. Food was excellent, staff were warm and friendly. Only complaint was that the wine we ordered to be served with our entre didn't arrive until 3/4 finished eatingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good this time, not greatokayDined on 8/31/2014The food at Eddie Merlot's was very good as always. Manager was very nice and personally greets the guests every time we've been there and spends a quick moment chatting. The server for the next table over seemed excellent but ours was a bit dull. Out of the wine requested which seemed odd.
- Birthday DinneryummDined on 8/29/2014My partner and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Eddie Merlot's for my birthday. It was our first time dining at Eddie Merlot's. The 7oz filet melted in my mouth. The mac and cheese was to die for and the bread was oh so yummy. We will return for sure.Special Features:
- Great restaurantSRBDubDined on 8/29/2014Eddie Merlot's is a great place to celebrate a special occasion or your regular end of the week dinner. The ambiance is truly unique and the service is five stars! It is a bit pricey, but that is expected from a restaurant of this caliber - and worth every penny.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never DissapointscohibatomDined on 8/26/2014Coming from Cleveland and having children in Indianapolis, I was exposed to Eddie Merlot as an option. While initially skeptical a few years ago given the price point, I have been pleasantly surprised at their consistency. They are priced at the Capital Grille, Morton's, Ruth Chris level. While a side of bacon wrapped shrimp was 18-19$$, it was gigantic and awesome! Spending 100K a year on T&E all over the country, I enjoy quite a bit of fine dining. Kudos to the one in Columbus, Ohio!Special Features:
- Consistantly MemorablePepper2VIPDined on 8/25/2014Back to Eddie's for the first time in several months and was pleased as always. Staff is professional and attentive without being intrusive. Food is still excellent. Our group sampled a little of all. The Filet pot stickers were a surprisingly delicious appetizer while a few of us could not resist the oysters on the shell (always as fresh as can be). Steaks are wonderful and force yourself to try the pork chop at least once; you will not be disappointed. Lobster Mac and Cheese is a must have side. Save room for the Banana's Foster prepared at table side and you will love every moment of guilt you have while finishing this desert! Keep up the good work folks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unusually NoisyLuvaidanDined on 8/24/2014We love this restaurant for the food and the excellent service (Absolutley the BEST staff) but we had a round table with 5 people on a Sunday evening and could not hear the person across from you... That makes for an unpleasant dinner when you want to actually speak to the guests that you brought. Really noisy. Which is unusual so not really sure what changed or why...?I would recommend this to a friend.
- Latest Eddie'swtfhappenedEddieDined on 8/24/2014The steaks were fantastic. The Eddie's potatoes were not completely cooked and were hard/crunchy. The rest of the food was just average. The gentleman running the restaurant at Polaris is totally out of place and has absolutely zero personality. I think the server we had was new at it. If not then she has a lot of room for improvement, especially on how to handle multiple tables at once. Overall, this was my worst dining experience at the Polaris Eddie Merlot's. I may try it one more time but if the next experience is like this past one then I will be finished.Special Features:
- Okay but not GreatGoldwingDined on 8/24/2014We felt it was not as good as in the past. Asparagus was hard. Steak was okay but not out of the park as in the past. Refill of Chocolate for coffee never made it. Felt the server had to much going. Still a nice place to celebrate a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Tremendously surprised!RaulioDined on 8/17/2014I chose Eddie Merlot's with some apprehension as I normally go to Hyde Park, (Mortons before it closed), Ruth's Chris for special occasion meals. Last Sunday, I was proven wrong. The food was absolutely delicious and the service top-notch, very attentive yet not overbearing. Our server was very educated about the menu, made excellent wine suggestions and let us know the wine bottles are 1/2 off on Sundays. The potatoes were stellar and my dry-aged NY strip was cooked perfectly. It could have used a little more seasoning, but I think this was intentional to balance the flavorful sides. We will definitely be coming back and have added Eddie Merlot's to our top 5 steakhouses in Columbus. Great job Eddie Merlot's Polaris!Special Features:
- Always up to snuff, but...FrequentFeederVIPDined on 8/14/2014Predictably excellent food. I thought our server was occasionally a bit too familiar...a touch, a pat on the shoulder. First time this person was our server in all the times we have dined there. Not yet time to be "buddies". That happened one time before also, with another server. Is this the "new training"?Special Features:
- Always a good experiencejontaarcsDined on 8/13/2014Dining at Eddie Merlots has always been a 1st pick when it comes to fine dining here in Columbus. A good start is a drink at their bar, then head on into the dining room for some great service and a steak or seafood or both.. not to mention the outstanding side dishes. Again... always a great experience. Oh yeah.. one more thing.. Bannas Foster.. Save room, you have to get this after your meal with a fine coffee. Then you're set.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently amazingFoodie73Dined on 8/11/2014We always have an amazing experience at Eddie's. They consistently have great food and service.

- Not disappointing at allFrequentFeederVIPDined on 8/10/2014We are frequent diners here, and have experienced a few glitches over the years, but this time the meal and service were their usual outstanding! Kudos to the hostesses, waitstaff, kitchen and mgr.Special Features:

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - One of the senators who voted in a state committee this week to allow Gogebic Taconite access to around 3,500 acres in northern Wisconsin with little public interference was area Senator Glenn Grothman.
On Sheboygan's Morning News Friday, Grothman said it was necessary to protect those who are researching a possible iron ore mine from protestors, including those assisting G-Tac such as the DNR and private firms.
One sticking point was that the area in question is part of the state's Managed Forest Land; private land open to public use for recreation. Grothman said the proposal would have G-Tac offset the tax break the land owners would get from the state for the added privacy when they need it. The company will let hunters know when they can access the land.
Grothman is hoping the full Senate will vote on this matter later this month.

A Lancaster man is in jail after he escaped from a Lancaster County Sheriff's Deputies patrol car after he was arrested for an outstanding warrant.
The incident initially was reported on Springdale Road at 1:13 a.m., according to a news release from the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies stopped Michael Lloyd Knight, 34, of Lancaster, who was riding his bike down the road.
Knight was going down the street looking into several businesses. When he noticed deputies following him he rode his bike behind the stores.
Deputies stopped him and asked to see his ID, according to the release. After running his name through dispatch it was discovered that Knight had an outstanding family court warrant.
When deputies tried to arrest Knight, he took off running, ignoring deputies' calls to stop.
Knight tripped and fell near Airport Road where deputies were able to handcuff him.
Deputies placed Knight in a patrol car to be transported to the Lancaster County Detention Center and bike was taken to the Sheriff's Office for safe keeping.
While on the way to the detention center, Knight was able to bust the window out of the back of the patrol car and jump out, according to the release.
The deputy jumped out and ran after Knight who was trying to scale a chain link fence.
Knight had two be tased twice before deputies were able to get him under control.
S.C. Highway Patrolmen and additional deputies from the county arrived to re-arrest Knight.
He was taken to Springs Memorial Hospital in Lancaster to have the cuts from the taser probes examined.
Knight told deputies that he was under the influence of alcohol, marijuana and cocaine, according to the release.
A search of Knight's clothing revealed a green leafy substance deputies believe is marijuana.
Knight is charged with unlawful escape, malicious injury to property over $2,000 and resisting arrest.
Damage to the patrol car is estimated at $2,000.

The River Otter rises in the Blackdown Hills just inside the county of Somerset, England near Otterford, then flows south for some 32 km through East Devon to the English Channel at the western end of Lyme Bay, part of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Permian and Triassic sandstone aquifer in the Otter Valley is one of Devon's largest groundwater sources, supplying drinking water to 200,000 people.
The river's source is north of Otterford, where a stream feeds the Otterhead Lakes: ST225152 and then through Churchstanton before entering Devon.
The river flows through a predominantly rural area, with small cattle, sheep and dairy farms. The largest town in the Otter Valley is Honiton. Tourism and leisure play important roles in the economy; hundreds of private cottages and farms offer B&B and rented holiday accommodation. For much of its length, the river flows through one or other Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - The Blackdown Hills AONB (to the north of Honiton) and East Devon AONB (to the south of Ottery St Mary).
The river passes through or by Upottery, Rawridge, Monkton, Honiton (then below the A30 trunk road), Alfington, Ottery St Mary, Tipton St John, Newton Poppleford, Otterton and reaches the coast to the east of Budleigh Salterton, after flowing through the 57-acre (230,000 m2) Otter Estuary Nature Reserve - a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) - consisting of tidal mudflats and saltmarsh. There is no public access to the estuary itself but footpaths lead alongside with two viewing platforms on the west and two hides one on the west and one on the east. The wintering population of wildfowl and waders includes redshank, greenshank, dunlin, common sandpiper, ringed plover, grey plover, curlew, snipe, water rail, wigeon, teal, shelduck, brent goose, red-breasted merganser and little grebe. Reed warbler, reed bunting and sedge warbler breed on the reserve.
The Environment Agency measures the water level of the Otter and its tributaries at six or more 'river level stations'.[1]
The point at which the river reaches the coast (SY073820) is part of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site.
A small tributary is the River Tale, with the confluence NW of Ottery St Mary. This small town (associated with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Sir Walter Raleigh, and an annual tar barrel rolling event) is the site of an unusual circular weir, known as the Tumbling Weir. Another small tributary is Budleigh Brook, which joins the Otter at East Budleigh.
At one time there were as many as fifty watermill powered by the River Otter. One remaining working mill, thought to date from the 17th century, is Tracey Mill near Honiton. In the 1970s, fish ponds were dug around the mill, fed by the leat; over a million gallons of fresh water flow though these ponds every day, helping the commercial production of trout 'without the need for antibiotics or added oxygen'.
One mill, at Dotton, is known to have operated from around 1100 to 1960, after which the building was demolished. The site was excavated by Channel 4's archaeological television programme Time Team, the episode "The Domesday Mill" being broadcast in 2007. This mill is mentioned in the Domesday Book. A weir diverted water to the mill's leat, supplying the vertical breast-shot wheel. Dotton (now little more than a farm) is 4.5 miles (7.2 km) from the mouth of the Otter, and about one mile (1.6 km) north of the village of Colaton Raleigh.
At the picturesque village of Otterton (once a seaport on a larger Otter Estuary) there is a working watermill in this case over 1,000 years old; it was one of the three largest mills in Devon as recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. It is powered by water diverted through a leat. Immediately north of the leat, a fish pass (aka ladder/staircase) has been constructed beside a river-wide weir, restoring migratory fish runs to the river after a break of over 100 years.
The poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), who was born in Ottery St Mary, wrote this poem entitled Sonnet to the River Otter.
- Dear native brook! wild streamlet to the West!
- How many various-fated years have past,
- What happy, and what mournful hours since last
- I skimmed the smooth thin stone along thy breast,
- Numbering its light leaps! yet so deep imprest
- Sink the sweet scenes of childhood, that mine eyes
- I never shut amid the sunny ray,
- But straight with all their tints thy waters rise,
- Thy crossing plank, thy marge with willows grey,
- And bedded sand that, veined with various dyes,
- Gleamed through thy bright transparence! On my way,
- Visions of childhood! oft have ye beguiled
- Lone manhood's cares, yet waking fondest sighs:
- Ah! that once more I were a careless child!
At Ottery St Mary the river is spanned by a 95-metre foot and cycle bridge named Coleridge Bridge; built at a cost approaching £1m this was officially opened on 29 August 2011. A small area of land at one end of the bridge was sold to the local authorities by Lord Coleridge, a descendant of the poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

His Hero is Gone - "The Unwanted Child"
Monuments to Thieves (1997)
I'm currently seeding the entire His Hero is Gone discography on Demonoid. I highly recommend getting it. These guys were one of the greatest crust bands of the 90s, if not the greatest.
Girl Talk - "On and On"
All Day (2010)
Another mash up from Pittsburgh DJ Girl Talk. The good parts are good, but like many of his other albums it still occasionally suffers from sounding like 15 second songs mashed together without much continuity between them.
Mares of Thrace - "General Sherman"
The Moulting (2010)
Yuck - "Georgia"
Georgia 7" EP (2010)
These guys are due to release an album early in 2011. Definitely something to look forward to.
Olof Arnalds - "Surrender" ft. Bjork
Innundir Skinni (2010)
Recommended by a friend. Weird Icelandic folk music. This song that features Bjork really stands out. Pretty layering of melodies. Mysterious and pagan.
The Secret - "Cross Builder"
Solve Et Coagula (2010)
Girls - "Heartbreaker"
Broken Dreams Club EP (2010)
Phobia - "Chloe"
Destroying the Masses (1999)
Phobia is known mainly for being relatively influential with grindcore and crust punk cross over bands. Not as much as say Napalm Death, but up there. What they are not known for is their slow sludge metal. "Chloe", for example, is the last track on their 1999 ep, and is the only slow song on the album. It's also my favorite.
Old Man Gloom - "Gift"
Christmas (2004)
The Ascent of Everest - "Return to Us"
hat a surprising release from Nashville post-rockers The Ascent of Everest! I had been excited to hear their sophomore album entitled From This Vantage ever since I first heard their 2008 release How Lonely Sits the City. Whereas HLStC was a remarkably solid post-rock album with its beautiful layering of textures, FTV really pushes further and farther than anything they have done before. It's great to see artists develop and mature with their work and this is a perfect example of just that.
The most noticeable difference would be the new inclusion of multiple vocalists into the ensemble. But the songwriting has also changed as well. The album is certainly less guitar-centric, and noticeably darker than their previous material. The songs really are a step away from the formulaic epic crescendo that is so over played in the genre. Instead, The Ascent of Everest are opting for writing complex atmospherics that will liken them more to acts like Godspeed, A Silver Mt. Zion, or Sigur Ros.

I really like the coffee date dress pattern but wanted a version with a lower neck line. this is actually a bit too low :P but it's only a try out dress..as always these try out garments grow on me and I have to finish them properly :) really like how it turned out. Fabric is from a friend who went to Togo volunteering and came home with fabrics :D I'm not too much into African fabrics, they are a bit too bold for me, but this one is really nice. luckily I didn't had to alter too much as I don't have a single scrap of fabric left :P
so I lowered the front neckline quite a bit and the back neckline just a little bit. By accident I cut the back in fold and therefore had to insert the zipper on the right side instead of the back.But most important of all: I added pockets (on purpose). I just can't walk around without pockets :)

Creating a persona for your business can be easily achievable with plenty of motivation. This article follows on from How a Persona can improve your website Part 1, and covers how to easily create a persona for your business.
How you can begin to create basic personas
Persona creation can be a huge investment. Focus groups, extensive interviewing, set building and role playing. It doesn't need to be that way if you have no budget but lots of enthusiasm.
The starting point is to talk to as many of your potential or existing customers as you can. This can be be done in person (if you have a traditional shop), in the street if you are geo centered, by phone or by taking advantage of social media marketing such as facebook and twitter. Facebook can be an outstanding medium to tap into an audience: listen to the chat or invite discussion through joining groups and asking what people want from your product or service.
Also talk to your employees, especially if you have a sales team. Collect as much data as possible.
Then you need to ask the following questions:
Age, sex, ethnicity
Where do they live
What is their job title
What is their education standard (inc reading level)
What is their political stance
Social status
What are their social groups (clubs, gyms, photographers, cyclists etc)
Daily routine
Level of technical competence (important to define internet abilities)
Then you can address esteem needs and self-actualisation:
Personality type
Aspirations & ambitions
Level of confidence, self esteem
Day to day goals
Long term goals
Once you have the basic profile you need to consider how they will interact with your product or service:
What do they expect from your industry
Why do they need your product or service
What difference would your product make to their job role and with their boss
What negative experiences have they had with a similar brand product
What would make them repeat buy
What emotion would they expect to feel from your service
If you collected enough initial research you should be able to answer these questions. If you can't talk to more people.
Example persona
From the list of questions you can then offer a summary of each section:
Jane Walker lives in Manchester, is 34 and lives with her boyfriend of 5 years. They have a city centre apartment and one car. She works in an designer clothing store as a manager and loves the perks of discounted clothing. Her family live an hours drive away and she sees them on average every 2 weeks. She has no children and one sister who lives and works in London, they are not very close. Jane starts work at 9.30 till 6 and always works Saturdays, she goes to the gym 3 evening a week and meets her girl friends for a drink every Friday night. Jane has been using the internet for 8 years and uses email, facebook and twitter on a daily basis… etc
Jane is confident and is pleased with her level of success. Her ambition is to open her own clothing store but would like to start a family first and this is more important to her. Jane would like her boyfriend to propose but he is not ready to commit, this makes her feel insecure and can be controlling at work to compensate.… etc
Jane is very fashion conscious and style is important to her personally and in her career. As she receives a substantial clothing discount at work she purchases the majority of her clothes from the store. But she does prefer to source unique items so she can keep her status as a fashion forward individual and not have items the same as her employees. If she can find a vintage handbag she would feel a surge of adrenaline at the thought of her employees admiring her find and feeling superior. Delivery times are important for her being able to purchase online as she is out of the house all day, if she can have the item delivered to work this encourages her to buy…etc
Imagine if you were selling handbags online, how that information would offer a clear insight into the buying behaviour of your target customer. Also, how that information could be used to appeal to Jane and improve your website conversion through design and copy.
A persona picture speaks a thousand words
Using a photograph to illustrate your persona will help convey messages it may be difficult to define in words. A narrative will always engender a variety of response from different people. Readers use their own experiences to imaginatively create their own interpretation. A photograph is much harder to misconstrue.
Interestingly upon testing illustrations should be avoided:
"Using illustrations instead of photographs of the persona would seem to reduce effectiveness. It can lead to selective consideration of the persona characteristics and can increase the risk of self-referential details being superimposed onto the persona. The study also reported a lower level of empathy towards the illustrated persona and a diminished ability among students to recall details about the persona after time." Frank Long at the National College of Art and Design
A picture of a real person is easier to identify with than a textual description alone.
Persona definition in summary…
Persona definition on any level will benefit a website. Tailoring design and copy to a specific personality will connect with your user. A user needs to feel like they connect emotionally with a brand/site to really enjoy their experience. When a user can relate and connect to a site, they trust the site.
Web users are now in control of the two way dialogue created in the website space. They may be hesitant or mistrustful. If you want to convince your customers to buy or partake in your site you must speak to them directly and make a connection. You can only do this if you know who you are talking to…
