Hudson River group's benefactor dies at 106The Associated Press | April 26,2013POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. — Once Kathryn Wasserman Davis got a taste for kayaking on the Hudson River, it wasn't easy keeping her outings limited to the calmer coves and bays, even when she reached 100 years of age.
"She always wanted to go out into the main channel and feel the wind and waves. She wanted to stay out for hours," said Ned Sullivan, president of Scenic Hudson, a Poughkeepsie-based environmental and cultural preservation group that received a $20 million donation from Davis after she turned 100.
Davis' family said in a statement that the globe-trotting philanthropist died Tuesday at her home in Hobe Sound, Fla. She also had homes in Northeast Harbor, Maine, and Tarrytown in Westchester County.
Officials with Scenic Hudson said Davis grew to love the Hudson River while living in Manhattan as a graduate student at Columbia University and later when she and her husband lived in a hilltop home overlooking the river in suburban Tarrytown. She was introduced to Scenic Hudson by a grandson, Christopher Davis, a Hudson Valley resident who served on the group's board.
It would prove to be a good match for both parties: Kathryn Davis took up kayaking in her 90s, an activity that gave her a close-up view of the waterway and surrounding landscape the group was trying to preserve, said Sullivan, who served as her guide on the annual expeditions for 13 years.
"She loved to be there right on the river," he told The Associated Press. "She just had a love of life and deep passion for the Hudson River."
Born into a wealthy carpet-manufacturing family in Philadelphia on Feb. 25, 1907, Davis' adventurous side was evident early in life. After graduating from Wellesley College in 1928, she trekked through the Caucasus Mountains on horseback during the first of what would be more than 30 visits to Russia. That inaugural trip hit a snag when bandits stole the group's food and horses.
"We ate wild berries for breakfast and spit-roasted mountain goat for dinner," she told a Moscow newspaper in 2002, "and I couldn't have been happier."
Davis met her future husband, Shelby Cullom Davis, in 1930 on a train headed to Geneva, Switzerland, where she was working toward her doctorate. They married in 1932. Her husband, an investment banker who later served as the U.S. ambassador to Switzerland during the Nixon and Ford administrations, died in 1994.
After his death, she initially focused her philanthropy on educational institutions. Several have named schools, centers or museums after her, including Wellesley and Harvard University. Scenic Hudson and preservation groups in Maine gained her financial support after she took up kayaking after turning 91, her family said.
Her $20 million donation to the New York group in her 100th year led to major riverfront park improvements in Tarrytown and neighboring Sleepy Hollow, Sullivan said.
"She wanted to create the opportunity for people to have access to the river," he said.
Her survivors include her son and daughter, eight grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. Information on funeral services weren't available.MORE IN News

He didn't knock it out of the park, but he rapped a solid double to the gap.

Dynamics of self-gravitating dust

I have a problem with the following scenario:
A friend of mine claims that it's possible to start with equations for a compressible fluid or dust and to derive an expanding solution in Newtonian mechanics (!) He claims that this expansion is homogeneous and isotropic (I understand his reasoning) and that all particles in the cloud are in free fall i.e. feel no force (this what I do not believe). His equations for test particles do indeed look homogeneous and isotropic, but I doubt that he can correctly derive free fall.
He claims to be able to derive the motion of a test particle that moves together with the expanding sphere of dust in free fall due to the gravitation of the dust. He does not present the equation for this sphere of dust, but instead he uses a kind of effective equation for a test particle from the very beginning. It's not clear to me how he can bypass the equation for the dust itself.
Instead of presenting his derivation I would like to use a different approach. Start with the e.o.m for the dust, i.e. a kind of Euler equations for a compressible fluid taking into account the gravitation of the dust. If this could be done one finds directly how the flow of dust may look like. In that case the motion of the test particle along with the dust could indeed result in free fall.
First question: is there a proof whether such a scenario as described above is possible or impossible? is there an analogy with an expanding universe (from GR) in the sense of Newtonian mechanics, i.e. an explosion of a matter distribution in space (instead of expansion of space as in GR)?
Second question: is there a simple derivation of the dynamics of a gravitating sphere of dust in Newtonian fluid dynamics? Of course the radius of the sphere shall be infinite in order to achieve an homogeneous and isotropic solution.
Third question: does anybody know how to combine the Euler equations for a fluid with the gravitational energy
[tex]V = \int d^3x \int d^3y \, \frac{\rho(\vec{x},t)\,\rho(\vec{y},t)}{|\vec{x}-\vec{y}|}[/tex]
Mar24-11, 10:16 PM
I think I can answer one of the questions.
You can derive the Friedmann equation for an expanding universe with Newtionion mechanics as long as the universe is flat and no cosmological constant. Just look at the escape velocity of a particle trying to escape the mass/energy of the universe.
Actually, you can derive the Friedmann equations with curvature from Newtionion mechanics. It takes some handwaving, however. See "Introduction to Modern Cosmology" by Liddle.

Starting with a scalar density, how can one satisfy both decreasing density and homogenity?
Sitting at r I see the density
[tex]\rho(\vec{r}, t) = \rho(r, t)[/tex]
Sitting at a different point I see
[tex]\rho(\vec{r}^\prime, t) = \rho(\vec{r} + \vec{dr}, t) = \rho(r, t) + dr_i\,\partial_i\,\rho(r, t)[/tex]
But if the solution shall be homogeneous the second term must vanish and therefore the density must be constant. Where's my mistake?

Dynamics of self-gravitating dust
OK, I checked "Introduction to Modern Cosmology" by Liddle.
It seems to be rather clear. The equations are well defined from the very beginning and it seems that Newtonian gravity does more or less exactly the same as GR does. As the derivation is more or less identical to GR (differential equations do not care about their meaning :-) the problem must be in the very beginning. I guess it's the step where Liddle introduces the total energy of a mass (volume element) m. In an infinite universe with Newtonian gravity this potential energy is ill-defined due to the instantaneous 1/r law.
So I would say that if one skips the technical detail that the whole model is not defined, the results of the model agree with GR :-)

We've heard about the growing concern over use of E-cigarettes among minors. But the Washington Poison Center has uncovered a trend that shows kids under the age of 6 are getting their hands on vaping devices.
Justin Wilcox is an avid vaper. Sitting outside his home, he puts a few drops of his favorite flavor of e-juice containing liquid nicotine into what he calls a mechanical mod - commonly known as an e-cigarette.
When he's done he packs it all away in a carrying case to keep it all safely away from his 4-year-old son.
He says it doesn't bother him to have the e-cigarette paraphernalia around his son.
"Because for kids it's out of sight out of mind," he said. "If I keep the case closed and locked up he's not going to touch it."
But the Washington Poison Center has uncovered a disturbing trend. The number of reports of children with toxic exposure to e-juice is growing at an alarming rate.
"We're getting cases of small children, primarily under the age of 6," said Jim Williams, Washington Poison Center Executive Director.
In 2010, Washington state had one report of an e-juice poisoning with kids under the age of 6. But the numbers steadily climbed each year to 51 in 2013. And already 39 cases so far in the first quarter of this year.
"They either got it on their skin and are ingesting it through their skin or they're actually are ingesting the product," said Williams.
"What the studies have shown is that there is a wide variability of what's in the product versus what the product states is in it," said Scott Neal/King co Public Health
The manager of the tobacco prevention program for King County Public Health explains the poisonings can happen at any age.
"They are constantly refilling the device daily, or every week. And liquid nicotine is highly toxic, whether you're ingesting it or whether it's dermally on your skin," said Neal.
A typical poisoning reaction is nausea or vomiting. The poison center says there have been no reported deaths.
While some bottles pop open with a simple flip of the thumb, Wilcox shows us the ones he has in a case have a protective cap.
"All of them use child proof caps, which is important," he said.
"There are juice makers who don't do that, and with their juice you have to be more responsible. You have to keep it out of reach of kids. It's like any other medicine really. You don't put your medicine where you kids can get it and you teach your kids not to play with that medicine," said Wilcox.
Four-year-old Landon follows the rules. The Wilcoxes say they'll teach those same rules to their newborn twins as well.
Their father believes switching from the tar and carcinogens of cigarettes to vaping are healthier for him and his family around him.
"These kids are my life, and I would never bring anything around them that i thought was dangerous or potentially hazardous," he said.
The Washington Poison Center says about 60 percent of the e-juice poisonings involve kids under the age of 6.

Lubbock voters showed strong support for the nine proposed amendments to the Texas constitution, approving most by wide margins. Texas voters agreed, approving all nine propositions statewide.
Proposition 1 authorizes the Legislature exempt from property all or part of the market value of the homestead of the surviving spouse of a member of the United States armed services who is killed in action, as long as the surviving spouse has not remarried.
Lubbock voters approved this measure 89% to 11%
Proposition 2 repeals the constitutional provision requiring a State Medical Education Board and a State Medical Education Fund, neither of which is in operation.
Lubbock voters approved this measure 87% to 13%
Proposition 3 authorizes local authorities to extend the length of time that aircraft parts could remain temporarily in this state before being subject to property tax. Under current law, aircraft parts may remain in Texas for up to 175 days before being subject to tax. Taxing entities could extend the exemption up to 730 days.
Lubbock voters approved this measure 54% to 46%
Proposition 4 allows the Legislature to provide for a property tax exemption of part of the market value of the homestead of a partially disabled veteran, or the surviving spouse of a partially disabled veteran, if the residence was donated by a charitable organization.
Lubbock voters approved this measure 87% to 13%
Proposition 5 amends the definition of "reverse mortgage" to authorize reverse mortgage loans for the purchase of homestead property in addition to the current uses, and would give lenders recourse against borrowers who fail to timely occupy the homestead properties purchased with such loans.
Lubbock voters approved this measure 66% to 34%
Proposition 6 creates the State Water Implementation Fund as a special fund inside the state treasury and outside the General Revenue Fund. Money in the fund would be administered by the Texas Water Development Board and would be used to implement the state water plan.
Lubbock voters approved this measure 74% to 26%
Proposition 7 allows home-rule municipalities to adopt provisions authorizing the filling of vacancies in the governing body by appointment, but only when the remainder of the vacant term is less than 12 months.
Lubbock voters approved this measure 73% to 27%
Proposition 8 repeals the Texas Constitution's maximum tax rate for a Hidalgo County hospital district. The maximum rate is currently set at 10 cents per $100 valuation, which is lower than the maximum tax rate allowable for hospital districts in all other counties in the state (75 cents per $100 valuation).
Lubbock voters approved this measure 72% to 28%
Proposition 9 expands the potential sanctions that the State Commission on Judicial Conduct can issue following a formal proceeding. This constitutional amendment would allow the commission to issue an order of public admonition, warning, reprimand, or a requirement to obtain additional training or education in addition to the Commission's current authority to issue a public censure or recommend removal or retirement of a judge.
Lubbock voters approved this measure 81% to 19%

DRIVER TURNOVER in long-haul increased in the first three months of the year, according to the American Trucking Associations. At large truckload fleets, the annualized rate rose to 75 percent in the quarter ended March 31. Turnover at small truckload fleets rose one percentage point to 50 percent in the first quarter, the highest point since third quarter 2008. Less-than-truckload fleets increased to 8 percent from 6 percent the previous quarter.
U.S., Mexico sign trucking deal
U.S. and Mexican officials have signed an agreement to end the cross-border trucking dispute under which Mexican carriers could be granted provisional operating authority soon.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes Dionisio Arturo Pèrez-Jàcome Friscione signed a Memorandum of Understanding July 6.
FMCSA's cross-border pilot program mandates Mexican carriers meet all U.S. motor vehicle safety standards. FMCSA will provide and pay for electronic onboard recorders to track hours-of-service compliance at a maximum cost of $2.5 million.
For Mexican program participants, the agency will review the complete driving record of each driver and require all drug testing samples to be analyzed in U.S. labs. It will assess drivers' comprehension of English and U.S. traffic signs.
Mexico will provide reciprocal authority for U.S. carriers to engage in cross-border long-haul operations in that country. Neither nation can engage in domestic carriage of goods point-to-point in the other country.
The memorandum does not apply to hazmat carriers or carriers engaged in the cross-border transportation of passengers.
Mexico agreed to a phased-in lifting of retaliatory tariffs imposed on many U.S. goods following Congress' vote to end a previous program in March 2009.
Following the agreement announcement, Rep. Peter DeFazio filed a bill to limit the administration's authority to "unilaterally decide how and when to open the U.S.-Mexico border without input from Congress." The Oregon Democrat's bill would also limit use of the Highway Trust Fund to pay for EOBRs for Mexican truckers.
The American Trucking Associations, business and farming organizations have supported the cross-border program. The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, the Teamsters and some safety groups have opposed it.
OOIDA President Jim Johnston said it will hurt U.S. trucking jobs and place an undue burden on taxpayers, and he blasted the DOT's pledge of transparency to the public over the program.

The promotional wheels for the new season of American Horror Story keep spinning, as a new teaser is released to the wanting masses. This one is entitled 'Bullhorn'.
Well, as you can guess, this one involves a bullhorn.
You see a woman with a bullhorn coming out of her mouth. She is ominously looking at something off in the distance; almost like she is planning something.
Suddenly, the scene shifts, the horn is gone, and she is screaming.
In the whole nine seconds of this clip, they have managed to weird me out once again.
One of my favorite things about the teasers to American Horror Story are that by themselves, they don't always make the most sense; however, if you string a few of them together, or once you start watching the actual series, everything starts to fall into place.
Of course, by that point, you end up kicking yourself in the butt because you didn't figure it out on your own earlier.
It will be interesting to see how they meld the character of the Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau in with the witches; also, to see how they include the evil Madame LaLaurie into all this.
To say that I am a little excited for the start of Coven next week is a little bit of an understatement.
American Horror Story: Coven premieres on Wednesday, October 9th, 2013 at 10:00 p.m. on FX.

EXAMPLE 1: If there is a suspected fire in a building whose source cannot be located, that building will be evacuated through the fire alarm system; all occupants will be instructed to go to the assembly area for that building, where a head count will be conducted. The Security Department will go through the building to be sure that all occupants have been evacuated. The building and the surrounding grounds will be cordoned off, and once the Fire Department and Police arrive, the situation will be turned over to the Fire Chief; and if he requests, all building electrical and/or gas systems will be shut down.
EXAMPLE 2: If there is an emergency which would affect a larger segment or portion of the campus, that portion of the campus will be evacuated and moved to the appropriate large assembly building for shelter, while the investigation or repairs are under way; for example, if there were a major power outage due to extreme storms or other difficulties that is projected to last for days, in addition to the large assembly area, any room in appropriate residential buildings will be filled.
EXAMPLE 3: An extreme emergency affecting most individuals on campus such as an explosion at our Motor Pool gas dispensing facility; an explosion at the fuel tank at the campus generator building; or an explosion or significant leak at the propane tank on campus. Possible off campus situations include hazardous waste shipments, such as a train derailment or an accident on Highway 1 involving materials such as propane, anhydrous ammonia, etc.
EXAMPLE 1: A Bomb Threat. An alleged bomb threat could trigger a situation where students, staff and faculty are channeled into an area where they could all become victims of individuals or organizations looking for such a response; that is to say, the safety assembly area itself may be the area where the bombs are contained, not the building; or that through exiting the building, explosive devices or other hazards are placed near the exit-ways.
EXAMPLE 2: It can be foreseen that activating the emergency evacuation alarms (fire, etc.) could be an audible or electronic signal that could detonate the bomb or create confusion. The close proximity of any powered equipment or vehicles of the first responders could make the situation worse.
EXAMPLE 3: A significant breach has occurred in a liquid propane tank and the highly flammable fumes are migrating through the lower areas of campus. Any ignition source would trigger a massive explosion.
This system will be operated from a single station which will be receiving filtering and disseminating information as necessary or appropriate. During times of city-wide and county-wide emergencies, the Incident Commander (Police Chief, Fire Chief or Sheriff) can make announcements to the general campus population.

When to take baby to the dentist
I recently saw my dentist for my regular check up and while I was there I used that opportunity to ask him a couple questions about Mia's teeth. Mia didn't have any teeth until she was almost 11 months old, but since then they've been popping in like crazy! She's 15 months old now and she has 10 teeth so I was curious when she should see a dentist. I was surprised to find out that the American Dental Association recommends that a child see a dentist no later than his or her first birthday whether they have teeth or not. I guess we'd better get her in any day now.
We brush her teeth at home, but my next question for my dentist was should we use toothpaste? He recommended that we use a children's toothpaste because there is very little floride so it won't make her sick if she swallows it. Besides that children's toothpaste comes in fun flavors that she might like better than regular old toothpaste. He also told me that we only need to use a tiny amount of toothpaste even for ourselves. The toothpaste for Mia should be about the size of a grain of rice. Adults should put toothpaste across their brush instead of down the brush so we use less too.
We should be brushing Mia's teeth twice, a day once in the morning and once at night. Obviously use a child's toothbrush. There are a few different kids you can choose, but as long as it's got soft bristles and isn't too big for baby's mouth the shape doesn't matter. Mia loves to brush her teeth with her winnie the pooh toothbrush. As much as Mia likes to brush her own teeth it's important that we help her so we can be sure to brush the front and backsides of all of her teeth.
As far as flossing goes toddlers usually don't have to have their teeth flossed because most of them don't touch, but if they do you should floss between them. Otherwise flossing usually isn't an issue until all the teeth come in.
When did you take your children to the dentist for the first time?

Okay so I know I posted at least one picture here but I don't remember if I actually asked people to reblog for a signal boost to see if anyone around San Diego can adopt this kitten?
This is my formal request then.
Here's some info about him:
- He's about 10 weeks old
- He eats solid food
- He seems very healthy, only a little malnourished
- He is almost completely litter box trained (we are working on completing it)
- He really likes to play
- He responds well to being held in a towel and having his head pet/neck scratched
I found him downtown and he had crawled into the tire of a car, so we wanted to get him out so there were no…nasty car incidents. He is feral, but we are teaching him to get along with people. We've only had him for two days and he's already a LOT better.
If you don't think you can help, or if you don't live in San Diego, could you please at least reblog this so someone else might see it?
But of course I'm not going to pull a 'If you scroll past you don't have a heart D<' on you because that would be freaking lame.
Also we have asked all the shelters in the area, so you don't need to recommend those to me. They are not accepting any more cats right now.

Special Guests
The Live the Life winners were not the only special guests at Everton's final match of the season against Newcastle in May.
ThaiBev welcomed Thai Army General Khun Kanjanarat and his family to watch the team in action from some of the best seats in the house.
The General plays a major role in a Thai Premier League team called Army United, who are also sponsored by Chang Beer, and has met with International Academy Ambassador Ray Hall several times in Thailand when Everton have been delivering coaching.

Bi wiring/single wire distortion thread
Here's the new thread for discusion of the difference between bi-wiring and mono wiring.
The basic premise for the analysis is this: When a speaker wire carries an audio signal to a crossover, is there a non linearity in transfer function as a result of the branching of currents at the crossover.
I'll get to definitions on a later post, with pictures or diagrams. For now, I recommend limiting this thread to the technical analysis. Should this analysis have proven, measureable validity, then perhaps listening issues can be discussed.
Any validation testing must be via equipment with resolution at least 10 times the entity being tested.
Oh, almost forgot the most important thing..question ALL assertions, equations, and conclusions. This is a discussion, not a sermon. It is preferable that errors be called when spotted...and we all make errors..

Linear Systems do not "create" Nonlinear Distortion
1st rule of linear system theory: linear systems do not create nonlinear distortion products of their excitation signals
if wire, crossover and speakers are modeled as linear R,C,L and constant mutual couplings then they are a linear load and do not create distortion no matter how few/many branches you divide the wiring up into
bi-wiring can reduce mutual impedance coupling where current from one driver imposes a voltage on the (linear) mutual impedance and changes the voltage seen by the other driver - but the eq are all linear- - superposition works perfectly
you have to assume a source of nonlinearity in the system for an analysis of distortion to make sense
drivers are of course not linear; voice coil inductance, BL product, surround spring constant are all nonlinear and time varying to some degree - at a much lower level wire tempco causes nonlinear response with power dissipation
as a quick guess if wire is ~100 mOhms vs loads of ~8 Ohms I would expect distortions from one driver's nonlinear current demand to be attenuated by ~.1/8, nearly 40 dB before reaching the other driver and then only distortion products in the pass band would be reproduced
further, nonlinearity in dynamic drivers is mostly related to displacement which is largest at the bottom of its frequency range, assuming several octaves of bandwidth the largest distortion products are in the distorting drivers own bandwidth and only very small higher order distortion products are present to be coupled to the next higher driver's passband
alright already, I spell checked it this (last) time

Re: Linear Systems do not "create" Nonlinear Distortion
To that end, I have explained to some of my collegues the dillemma I have "uncovered". They typically will find errors I make, but so far, this issue has not been, um, trashed..
Perhaps you should go peruse the "audio lies thread", to understand what it is we are talking about.
So far, analysis using tried and true concepts still gives the distortion. I am in the middle of configuring a scanner in another room, but will post scans of my "chicken scratches" to give you a better feel for what I am talking about.
Thank you..

Hi Neutron,
I have one point to ponder here:
I think in some ways the initial anaysis was based on the superpositon of power... and I don't recall ever doing that.
Consider the following, we apply a sine voltage to a cable with a resistive termination, a sine current flows, and power is dissipated in the cable (resistor). Now superimpose another sine of equal frequency, and magnitude, but opposite phase on that system... no voltage, no current, no power.
Follow me here?

The whole crux of the branching issue is that the instantaneous power loss in the cable resistance no longer tracks the load dissipations for each driver. Something's gotta give..

Unfortunately I lack the education you gentleman posses, but it doesn;t make me any less inquisitive... yesterday I saw a picture which was, if I understand it correctly, trying to convey that low frequency signals pass through the cable almost uniformly except for a small area in the centre.... as the frequency moved up the current would become thiner and thiner layer until its just a skin.... I think the bottomline of the page was the for higher frequencies its better to have two thinner wires than one thick one... does this have any bearing on Biwiring?

Here's a graph showing the dissipation within the cable as a function of the dc current flowing through it. The sine is 1 ampere, and the resistance of the cable is .05 ohms, consistent with a 10 foot run of #12 zip, and neutrik connectors on each end..connector is 3 milliohms per contact, #12 runs 2 milliohms per foot, single conductor...times 2 gives total wire resistance.
The peak power with just the sine is 1 amp squared times .05 ohms, or 50 milliwatts, which happens at 90 degrees.. Since the negative side of the waveform also dissipates, it peaks at 50 mW at 270 degrees. This is shown by the blue line on the graph, the zero dc current line.
With one ampere of dc plus one ampere of ac, look at the 90 degree point...the current there is 2 amperes, and the dissipation in the cable is now 200 mW, while at 270 degrees, the dissipation is.....ZERO..
The time varying lossed within the wire resistance are getting larger with the DC current applied.. As the current is increased, the power dissipation has less and less 2x freq profile, and more and more base freq profile..
So, what gives
Cheers, John

This thread is about the woofer and tweeter current not "playing well together" because they are forced into the same wire.
As jcx pointed out, we were taught that it shouldn't make a difference. But I so far, have shown a mechanism which says it does..and I present it here for all to take potshots at..peer review, so to speak.
Cheers, John

~!Chapter 11!~2 Reviews
Amber is in her junior year of high school. Her curent boyfriend is not the best to have. She meets someone who will change her life for good at one point and better the next. I hope you like it...
"Shh...it is ok. He won't hurt you again. We taught him a lesson." He told me.
"But, you can't go to jail. None of you. I need you Brendon, and Ryan Lindsay needs you. We all need you." I said through sobs. I looked up into his almost like chocolate eyes. He hugged me again. And started to rub my back.
"Shh...we are not going to jail hun. I would not leave you."
"What about Connor?"
"We don't know, it is up to you. Call the police, or let him go and make sure he never comes around you ever again." He said as he shot Connor a dirty look.
"Well, I don't know what to do. If I send him to jail again, when and if he gets out again he would be even more pissed. And if I let him go, I run the chance that if I am alone he will be there. What do you think I should do?"
"Well, I think that it would be better off if we just let him go and just watch out for you and make sure one of us is with you at all times. For a little bit, till we can be sure he will not try something. Amber it is for you own good, we don't want anything to happen to you." Jon said from the other side of me.
"Why do you have to treat me like a baby, I hate feeling like the baby, the fallen princess, so please stop treating me like one."
"Hun, we are only looking out for you. I don't, I mean we all don't want anything to happen to you. We only want the best for you."
"Well, I understand that you only want the best, but I don't need you all watching me at all times. I don't need it, and I don't want it." I yelled at them and ran upstairs.
(This is what was happening downstairs.)
The guys just looked at each other and did not know what to say. But, Ryan went up stairs to make sure that Amber was ok. He went to her bedroom and she was not there, and saw that the bathroom door was closed he ran down stairs.
"Brendon Amber is not in her room, she is in the bathroom." Ryan told Brendon, and Brendon got a scared look on his face. He ran up stairs. He got to the bathroom door and tried to open it and it was looked. So he started to knock on the door.
(Back to me!)
I heard someone banging on the door. I was sitting there on the bathroom floor; I knew it was Brendon at the door. I did not open the door because I did not want to talk to him. I sat there with a razor blade in my hand just looking at it. I knew that I should not do this but, my mind was telling me that it will help. I can make my self feel better with out the help of the guys. So before I knew it I had the razor blade on my left wrist (with the noise of Brendon banging on the door) and I put pressure on it and drew it across my wrist. I saw a small line of blood swelling up and running onto the floor. I toke the razor blade in my other hand and did the same thing to my right list. The next thing I knew Brendon had picked the lock. How I have no idea how he did it. I heard him yell downstairs for some one to call 911, Brendon picked me up and grabbed two towels and rapped them around my wrists. I started to tell him I was sorry, and that I did not really think. All he said was that it will be ok, and that I have been under a lot of stress. We sat there for what felt like for ever. Then I heard other people come in and pick me up and put me on a stretcher, they took me down stairs and put me into a the ambulance and Brendon got in with us. They told us that it was not that bad, but that I might have to stay over night, to make sure I was ok. So once we got to the hospital them bandaged me up and toke me to a temporary room for the night. They put an I.V. in my arm and told me to get some sleep. Brendon stayed with me and called my family and friends and told them I was ok, and that I would be home tomorrow.
(I am just going to skip to tomorrow when I get to go home. All that you missed was them telling me not to cut my self again. And them telling me to go see a therapist and get everything worked out. Yaa, right, I am sorry I will listen to them, but I would not go see anyone.)
So, Brendon had Ryan come get us and he got there. We got into the car. I sat in the back just looking at my wrists.
"So Amber are you ok?" Ryan asked me.
"Yea, I am sorry to scare you guys, I don't know what came over me."
"I am just glad you are ok." We drove to my house in silence and I was thinking what my parents will say. The one time I was dreading of coming home. Ryan pulled into my drive way and cut the engine. Brendon came to my door and helped me out. Well here I am again being the fallen princess.
there you go I hope you like it......REVIEW!!

Andrew ClearwaterManaging Director,
(Chairman, Mazda Foundation NZ)
Mazda Motor of New Zealand (MMNZ) is supporting various activities through Mazda Foundation New Zealand.
Mazda Foundation New Zealand (MFNZ), established in November 2005, has been providing funds to various initiatives, including education, environmental conservation, and culture. It has contributed over NZ$1.3 million to over 350 recipients since its establishment.
To provide outdoor and environmental education
Mazda Foundation New Zealand, in a joint project with Project Crimson Trust, participates in the Treemendous School Makeovers project in 2013. Each year, four primary schools are selected from the entries, and an area of the school grounds is enhanced with native trees and other plants which should be used for the environment and outdoor educatoin.
The Treemendous School Makeover project has been responsible for the development of 23 outdoor transformations since 2004.
The Treemendous Team (MMNZ employees, dealership staff, Mazda Foundation trustees, local school communities, parants and children) all visited the four selected schools and worked together to renew outdoor areas with native planting to attract native birds and other wildlife for students, teachers and local citizens to enjoy and relax.
To support national recycling program
MFNZ provided grants to the Environmental Education for Resource Sustainability Trust for its "Paper4trees" initiative, a nationwide recycling program which provides schools and preschools with resources to set up an in-house paper and cardboard recycling system. At the end of the year, schools are rewarded with native trees based on the amount of the paper and cardboard they have recycled.
MFNZ helped by providing over 1,700 native trees to Christchurch region for their 2011 recycling efforts in situations that many schools and preschools had been unable to order their trees since 2010 due to the earthquake damange in Christchurch,. They provide the students with an attractive area to play in and attract wildlife such as birds, bugs and lizards which the students can learn about.
To protect endangered birdlife
MFNZ provides grants to The New Zealand Conservation Trust, which operates various conservation projects, for its Great Spotted Kiwi breeding program, based in Christchurch.
The fund helps the continuation of the iconic native species.The MFNZ funding allowed the trust to purchase 20 diagnostic timers which accurately monitor how long a Kiwi had been incubating an egg and indicates to the fieldworker when the egg needs to be removed.

Private Cancun Roundtrip Airport Transfer
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Private Cancun Roundtrip Airport Transfer. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Amazing Service! Highly Recommended. I just got back from my honeymoon in Cancun and I have to say this service made getting to and from my resort from the airport was a breeze. When we arrived, just as the website states, there were lots of people trying to sway us to get a taxi, but we just kept on walking and eventually found our ride. Note: If you don't see the folks in the uniform described in the instructions, look for someone with a USA Transfers shirt. When we got in the van, we got on the phone with a representative welcoming us to Cancun, and confirming our departure date and time. They picked us up at the time stated, and got us back to the airport in time to catch our flight. What a great experience!
Fast, courteous, professional and on time.
Wonderful service! Friendly drivers! Making getting to and leaving Cancun a breeze.
I would give them 4 stars but the only thing i didn't like was the driver wanted me to pay double. Good thing I had a working phone that could call international and had the paper reservation. Once we talked to the company the driver understood that I had pre-paid. One note if you have people from 2 or more diff flight understand that the time through customs is different at every terminal. Make sure the company know this.
Excellent Service which I highly recommend.
When you exit the baggage claim...beware of timeshare sales people who lure you acting like your transfer company! Once we figured that out, we walked out the front door, and USA Transfers was clearly visible and easy to find. In less than ten minutes, we were on our way! Nice private van and professional driver. It's a very short trip, so the cost per person is very high, but worth it.
Was OK. We wait for 45 minutes but driver nice
Well it was great on the way to our hotel but apparently we became a shared ride at the end which we weren't happy about having to stop at other hotels to collect passengers when we were running slightly behind schedule. Other than that staff exceptionally friendly and helpful and would most def use this service again if I was assured it was private as per my booking. Cheers. Neanie
well organised got a flat tyre on the return journey and this was dealt with quickly and professionally I suppose that is the best test when something goes off plan and this was taken care of
They didnt use a mini bus. They use a big bus with a big group.
This was totally unsatisfactory.
Our flight was on time, we cleared customs and there was no pickup, I had to ring to find a representative, had them chase the driver who arrived about 15minutes later. NOT what I paid for. The return trip had better be better!!
United Kingdom
Airport return transfer no one there to meet us eventual arrived after phoning
Confirming return trip took 2 phone calls and a wait to be phoned back for pick up time

Sou Fujimoto - House NA. Tokyo, Japan. 2010.
Photo: Iwan Baan
Designed for a young couple in a quiet Tokyo neighborhood, the 914 square-foot transparent house contrasts the typical concrete block walls seen in most of Japan's dense residential areas. Associated with the concept of living within a tree, the spacious interior is comprised of 21 individual floor plates, all situated at various heights, that satisfy the clients desire to live as nomads within their own home.
Sou Fujimoto states, "The intriguing point of a tree is that these places are not hermetically isolated but are connected to one another in its unique relativity. To hear one's voice from across and above, hopping over to another branch, a discussion taking place across branches by members from separate branches. These are some of the moments of richness encountered through such spatially dense living."

According to Jackson, Miami has made it quite clear that they want to re-sign him, but admits that the two sides are not close to reaching an agreement. Starks is in a great position to land a very solid contract in the coming months. Several reports have indicated that the Dolphins clearly intend to shop for value in regards to signing and retaining veteran players. There's a chance that the Dolphins could end up passing on Starks and moving DE Jared Odrick inside to tackle, or possibly even draft a replacement. Another player who is set to hit the market is QB Matt Moore. According Jackson, Moore has informed the team that he would like to pursue a better opportunity to start in the NFL. Unless the team offers Moore an "incredible offer" to remain the team's backup, it seems as though Moore will not return next season. We have Starks liste...

Avanti Cafe
- Parking lot
- Dress code: Casual
- Kid-friendly
* Click here for rating key
Avanti Cafe Restaurant Review: A local favorite for more than 20 years, Avanti came onto the scene when California Pizza Kitchen was just getting started on the Westside. In a contemporary space with a prominent wood-fired oven, diners tuck into thin-crusted pies topped with duck sausage, sun-dried tomatoes and spinach; or shrimp, scallops, tomatoes and leeks. One of the more successful varieties layers paper-thin slices of glazed apples with roasted garlic, peppers, almonds and Gorgonzola. A full menu of salads and pastas is offered here, too, as well as traditional pizzas. The wine list is more of an afterthought, while desserts include tiramisu and New York-style cheesecake.

Mel B: They Don't Call Her Scary Spice for Nothing
Note to Eddie Murphy: Do NOT leave your woman when she's pregnant. It just always come back to bite you in the butt.
Now, some 14 months after the birth of his and Melanie Brown's daughter, Angel Iris Murphy Brown, the scariest of the Spice Girls is exacting her revenge in the form of a song on her upcoming CD.
"The working title is 'Beverly Hills Cock,' " she tells Britain's New! magazine, "because that's what he is. He never bothers with his daughter. I mean, what kind of man is that?"
A man who wants the hell out, that's who.
The lyrics are being kept close to Mel's D-cup, but it's safe to assume Eddie's lawyers are raring to get a crack at them.
'Cause, scorned woman or not, there's no money like the money won from a slander suit.

Some Reflections on 'The Big Society'….
Posted Jul 6, 2010 by Rob Hopkins
A few people have asked me what my thoughts are on the whole 'Big Society' concept being promoted by the new British government. I have attended a couple of events over the last week that have given me space to think about it all, so here I am with a few reflections. Last week I attended the Community Land Trust conference, and yesterday I was at the launch of the Sustainable Development Commission's 'The Future is Local' report. So, for those new to the idea, the 'Big Society' idea is David Cameron's big idea, focusing on localism, returning power to local communities, making central government smaller and shifting its role to the devolution of power wherever possible, calling for "a massive, radical redistribution of power". Here he is talking about it….
At the CLT conference, the new Housing Minister, Grant Shapps MP, gave a rousing talk about how the government is committed to CLTs (albeit in a slightly altered version called 'Local Housing Trusts'), and wants to see them everywhere. They want to see communities taking charge of creating their own housing, raising their own financing and building housing which is in community ownership in perpetuity. All sounds great.
One part that was slightly alarming was when he said that in the forthcoming 'Localism Bill', there will be a provision that if 90% of a community supports a development, it will be able to bypass the planning process. This raises a number of questions. 90% of which population? Street? Neighbourhood? Parish? Town? How do they vote? Then, even if you did get 90% support, is it really, at a time where the need is to promote zero carbon housing, sensible to allow housing to bypass planning? Will it just lead to rubbish housing?
At the 'Future is Local' launch yesterday, the various speakers offered different insights to the whole Big Society discussion. Will Day of the SDC said that the aim of the report is to explore "integrated area-based approaches to upgrading infrastructure". The thinking goes like this: we have x million homes that need to be retrofitted, the government has no money (well, not much), and we need to promote retrofitting and use that to also create energy security, quality of life, a sustainable economy (fascinating term that…) and jobs. The idea is that a piecemeal approach isn't anywhere near as cost-effective, the ideal is to work street-by-street and to use that also as an opportunity to engage communities.
Richard McCarthy of the Department for Community and Local Government spoke next, starting by talking about why localism is important. It is about, he said, giving people the freedom and space to develop their own responses, free of government regulation and interference. For him, the Big Society represents "an opportunity for things to happen at a local level". The new government plans to get rid of Regional Development Agencies and of Regional Spatial Strategies, and to reprioritise Local Plans, and for those plans to focus on neighbourhood led plans.
Mike Reardon of the Greater Manchester Environment Commission spoke about the work they are doing there to retrofit the city. He said that they are looking at the process trying to work out how to maximise the economic benefits to the city of the retrofitting work, working on, as he put it, "the engine of retrofitting". The challenges they have faced, he said, are their own capacity and capability, realising that there is a significant skills gap, and that they need a new workforce capable of delivering it, hence they are planning to create "A Low Carbon Centre of Excellence" (sock darning MScs…).
Ged Edwards of Sustainable Blacon Ltd talked about the fascinating work they are involved with in a suburb of Chester, which offered some insights into what a post-EDAP Transition initiative might look like. Blacon is an area of significant disadvantage, and Sustainable Blacon are focusing on 4 things, green transport, green energy, green spaces and green social enterprises. They are set up as a not-for-profit, with 3 functions, firstly offering services, secondly working as a regeneration consultancy, and lastly promoting Sustainable Blacon. Their board is made up of resident stakeholders, organisational stakeholders, and expert advisors.
The last, and the most challenging speaker, was Philip Blond of Respublica, who was interviewed recently here at Transition Culture. Blond is one of the architects of the Big Society concept, and has the ear of David Cameron, for whom he acts as a great inspiration. I took a lot of notes of his talk, which I will reproduce here because it will inform some of the following discussion. What, he asked, is the great difficulty with all this talk of localism? The fact that there is not actually much society, society has become very disassociated.
Very few people out there are ready to engage, the poorest people are 2.5 times more likely to be lonely than the wealthiest. People, he continued, no longer associate, there has been a diminution of social capital, the different classes mix less often than they used to. So how do we get to a more associated society? The answer, he argued, is to begin where people are at.
What we need is a Big Society, and that requires something for people to associate with first. What do we do when there is no collective identity? How might we, in an increasingly fractured society, get people to form together in groups? The environmental movement has, he argued, gone about things in a very dangerous way. It took an issue of concern to all, and captured just one part of the political spectrum which meant that those on the Right and in the Centre had no interest in it. Secondly it has failed to communicate carbon reduction in a way that anyone can visualise and care about.
The solution, he proposed, is to begin where people are. If their idea of environmental work is to beautify their place , or plant trees, then start there. What people will gather around and form groups around will vary between communities, it might be crime, or it might be beautifying an ugly place. These projects can then become hubs for other projects. The state's role, he said, is to "facilitate civil association". The aim should be to create different groups with different intents, and then provide quick wins for these groups.. the role of civil servants then becomes to facilitate this.
In many ways, the new political landscape which I hope I have captured in the above snapshots looks like one in which Transition should feel instinctively at home. Indeed, I do think that the 'Big Society' agenda creates a space in which Transition initiatives should really be stepping up to the plate, and seizing it with both hands. Local community-led responses, delivering the low carbon agenda from the ground up, facilitating inward investment, returning power to local government and so on, all offers a new context that Transition initiatives should seize with both hands. There is a very real difference though, between the concepts of 'localism' and 'localisation'.
Localism is about the devolution of power, a devolving of decision making to the lower levels, to communities and to local government. Localisation is about shifting the focus of economic activity to local markets, to meeting local needs, where possible, though local production. Localism certainly creates a more conducive context within which localisation can flourish, but localism, as promoted by the current administration, still takes place within the wider context of globalised economic growth, which in turn drives energy dependency and carbon emissions.
I do however have some problems with this new localism agenda. As I listened to Blond's talk, I thought, well is it actually true that we live in a country with not much society, that society has now disassociated? I remember just before the election hearing Eddie Izzard, who had just run all around the country, doing 50-something marathons for charity. He said he didn't believe in 'Broken Britain'.. everywhere he had gone people were much more community focused than he had expected. My experience from visiting Transition initiatives is that community is there, everywhere, sometimes more obvious than other places, but the point is that community will organise when it wants to, it doesn't need permission from government.
In the short film at the top of this post, Cameron says "I don't believe that civil society springs up of its own accord". Well there are thousands of community organisations around the country, run mostly by volunteers, Transition initiatives, Low Carbon Communities, Greening groups and so on, none of them waited for permission from government. They certainly sprang up of their own accord. What matters is for the State to offer such projects meaningful support, and to remove the obstacles strewn in their paths.
Perhaps they might say, for example, that for communities wanting to install community owned renewables through a community ESCO, or similar model, they will put up 50% of the money, matching whatever the community raises through community share options or bonds. Perhaps the £10-15,000 loans soon to be offered to homeowners for retrofits on a 'Pay-As-You-Save' basis could also be offered for individuals so as to raise the initial capital for a community energy company. Perhaps government might give communities first refusal on land zoned for development, and allow the use of compulsory purchase orders by community groups for sites they want to develop. Perhaps they might introduce something like the Low Carbon Fund which has run so successfully in Scotland, to which community groups can apply for anywhere between £1,000 and £1,000,000 for low carbon projects.
One of the bits I struggle with is the idea that government's role is to devolve responsibility to communities, to devolve leadership. In one way, I love it. Of course communities have a key role to play in Transition in the wider sense, and need to be given that responsibility and trusted to take some leadership. Transition has long argued that without active communities taking leadership, national decarbonisation/resilience building will struggle. However, climate change, and the need to cut emissions sharply, also very much need strong government. In Germany and Denmark, emissions have been cut by decisive and focused government action, while also empowering communities.
We need the empowerment of communities, the enabling of community responses, but we also need strong, imaginative government based on a strong agenda of slashing the nation's emissions. I'm not sure that we have that. For example, I live in Devon. Almost every planning application for wind farms are refused by the predominantly conservative Council. So, if the move then is towards local communities being able to decide whether they want wind farms or not, we'll probably end up with even less. Without strong government, we will never get anywhere near the nation's targets for installed wind capacity. We need both.
Of course the cynic might point out that the reason for the Big Society is the sweeping cuts in public spending that are only just beginning. If you replace the word 'localism' with 'privatisation', it is not that different in some ways from the Thatcher government's agenda. There is a challenge within it around what people are actually capable of doing in their spare time. Working full time, and also running a school? Working, managing a family, looking after an ailing relative, and running a Community Land Trust? Of course there are incredible people out there who do that, but it will have its limits unless people are supported in other ways too.
Having said that though, I welcome the potential that the Big Society represents. It offers a context within which Transition can really step up to the plate. It explicitly states that it wants to see communities stepping up and taking control, and that can only be to the good. It has lots of hooks onto which Transition groups can hang their projects, and it also raises lots of questions which Transition initiatives have hard-won experience they can feed into.
We need inspired, motivated communities taking ownership and responsibility, but over that, I would argue, we also need to be laying localisation, seeing that, for example, retrofitting Manchester could stimulate not just new trainings, but also a wide range of other potential businesses and livelihoods. While localism is a great first step, it will be when localisation is woven in too that we really start to get somewhere interesting. When the Big Society meets the Local Economy, then we're really moving, and it is that localisation piece of the puzzle that Transition brings to this discussion. This brings us to the need to redefine resilience, not as a state of maximum preparedness for the ghastly, but as a desired state, as a positive. But that's a subject for a later post…
Anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts on this…

Philip Blond is certainly not right about everything, but its important to listen to his criticism about the way the environmental movement only talks to one kind of person, and in my experience this applies to Transition as well. Try a quick demographic study of your local group and see if it matches the town or city its based in.
This is partly the fault of the environmental and transition movement in how they've promoted and talked about what they're doing, and that probably comes from a lack of understanding of how the average person thinks. There's also some sense in which members of these groups like to see themselves as special and the only ones in the know, so aren't too keen to involve the masses. But its also a result of the fact that modern culture is inherently hostile to collective and community action. Yes people will always engage in this activity when given the chance as its the most fulfilling sort of work, but there are so many barriers that prevent them from even starting. To believe that it will just happen without any sort of structure or specific work to promote it is dangerously naive.

Rid of regional groups?
From: Tess, Jul 8, 2010 12:25 AM
"The new government plans to get rid of Regional Development Agencies and of Regional Spatial Strategies"
I'm no expert on this, but doesn't it make economic sense to have a regional perspective on land use and transportation? The fact is, these highly-empowered local communities will still require a lot of trade, which necessitates the movement of goods and people. An efficient transportation network, that is net socially beneficial, I think can only be developed if a broader regional scale is kept in mind, otherwise decisions made by various local governments will not integrate well. Same with land use.
I will be interested to follow this and see how de-centralized they are talking.
Pay as you save
From: Gavin, Jul 7, 2010 02:08 AM
A pedantic point: Rob, you mentioned "the £10-15,000 loans soon to be offered to homeowners for retrofits on a 'Pay-As-You-Save' basis".
Latest word (unless you know differently from your conference whirl!) is the figure planned at present is £6,500. This is the figure in the Conservative manifesto - the Lib Dems had proposed the higher figure but at this stage seem not to have prevailed.

Chesterfield Fire and EMS made a daring rescue Monday night after a tree crashed into a family's home, trapping them inside.
"I panicked because my son was at the door," said Neal Clark. "He was right in the line of the tree. He jumped over me, and my wife was right at the door. She was still outside, but it didn't hurt her. I just snatched the door open in a mad panic."
Clark is just happy he and his family made it out of the incident without a scratch.
"Boom!" he recalled. "That's all you could hear. It was a big boom."
Several toppled trees also surrounded the Clark home. Fire crews say it took them less than ten minutes to rescue the family.
"We're glad everyone made it out okay," said Battalion Chief Rick Talley. "They are receiving assistance from the Red Cross."
Crews say the tree incident is likely the result of over-saturated ground after Monday's downpour and high winds.
"We are blessed to be alive," said Clark.

John Maynard Keynes said back in 1936 that "practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist." Keynes himself is now a seemingly defunct economist, but his influence connects the two most important events of the week and perhaps of the year: the sudden reversal of fortunes in the U.S. election and the powerful critique of overzealous fiscal austerity produced by the International Monetary Fund.
What connects these two events is an economic question that almost nobody dares to raise publicly, but that now seems destined to dominate the U.S. election and that hung over the IMF annual meeting in Tokyo this week: Do deficits really matter? Or, to restate the issue more precisely: Are government efforts to cut budget deficits counterproductive in conditions of zero interest rates when fiscal austerity suppresses economic growth?
This conclusion is strongly suggested by the IMF's "World Economic Outlook" produced for the annual meeting. The WEO presented six detailed case studies, starting with Britain from 1918 to 1939, of economies that tried to reduce large public debt burdens with various policy mixes in the past 80 years. It concluded that two conditions were essential for success: very low interest rates and adequate rates of economic growth. If fiscal austerity produces high unemployment and economic stagnation, it is doomed to failure, causing the government's debt burden to go up instead of down. After examining this historical evidence, the IMF report hinted strongly that at least two major economies were now caught in self-defeating debt spirals: Spain, where the debt trap is created by political pressures from the euro zone, and Britain, where the futile austerity is entirely self-imposed.
The British example is particularly striking. While the British government has implemented bigger tax increases and spending cuts than any other major economy apart from Spain (equivalent to 4.3 percent of GDP since 2009), it has suffered a double-dip recession, missed all its fiscal targets and seen its national debt nearly double from 46 percent to 84 percent of GDP since 2009. Meanwhile, the U.S., which started with a bigger deficit and debt than Britain in 2009 and has made very little effort to tighten fiscal policy since then, has seen its net national debt grow considerably more slowly, from 54 percent to 84 percent of GDP. The better U.S. fiscal performance, despite far less fiscal "effort," has been due entirely to faster economic growth.
Which brings me to the presidential debate last week. Mitt Romney won the debate largely by denying that his plan for a 20 percent tax cut would increase the U.S. budget deficit. Pressed to explain where the money for his tax cut would come from, Romney spoke of eliminating "deductions and exemptions [so] we keep taking in the same money when you also account for growth."
