A Bite of China II - Realm of Secrets, the "hidden" delicacies in China
2014-06-06 | China Food | Comments(0) | Views:(13)
In the capital of China one can find Turkey Kebap, Spanish Paella or French Foie Gras with original taste and flavor. People in New York are able to buy Rouga Mo at streets of Manhattan, and in Melbourne can have a try of Peking Roast Duck. The travel of human and foods bring those delicacies of each country even more famous. However, less popular foods unavoidably exist. Some of them hidden in China's rivers, deserts, mountains or other places are also delicious, that's the realm of secrets we are looking for.
A Bite of China II - Daily Domestics, common but unforgettable home-cooked foods
2014-05-22 | China Food | Comments(0) | Views:(12)
Home may be the warm harbor for every one, no matter how far one can reach it is always the starting point and destination in one's life. People living in the same house make a fire and cook—they are bound together by love and foods. Simple pots and pans reflect the Chinese lifestyles, whilst daily domestics are just as different tastes of lives. As teaching mother tongues, older generations embed tastes in younger ones' memories, and these familiar tastes always remind them the directions of homes.

Now, type the keyboard in a sunny morning and write something about the 2014 Spring Festival (Chinese New Year), I really couldn't conceal my excitement at the moment – the time for family reunion and whole country's celebration is coming! It needs time to introduce every aspect of this extremely important festival in China, thus here I just focus on some foods Chinese people usually enjoy during the pleasant dates.
The first vegetarian restaurant in Guilin

Nowadays, as people's living standard rising considerably, they do not favor the traditional greasy food but the bland diet. It is truly much healthier than old habit and healthy diet and weight reduction are gradually changing modern people's life.
Eating like a local in Guilin
2013-09-13 | China Food | Comments(0) | Views:(13)
Beyond the green mountains and clear waters, Guilin is all about food. I'v been living in Guilin since my birth and the more I'm here, the more I fall in love with Guilin. Growing up in this small but lively city, I was used to being surrounded by rich and spicy flavors and fed with a constant stream of Guilin Noodles, rice, and Li River fishes. Although Guilin Rice Noodles has been widely spread to everywhere of the country, only in Guilin that you can get the absolute taste.

A Bite of China – Raised Fields and Taros
2012-10-31 | China Food | Comments(1) | Views:(51)
Ancient geological movement created the world's largest estuary alluvial island and at the same time gave birth to a fertile river plain - Yangtze River Delta. Today it is the most flourishing and populated region in China. In the course of urbanization, in the Xinghua City of Jiangsu Province, there is a distinctive land seemingly forgotten by time. In summer peasants water a sort of lyophilic vegetable - the taro. The land under their feet is called Raised Field (Duo Tian), a unique landscape in the world.

Dear Readers,

I hope they get back together and make awesome music as they did before. Jatin-Lalit, WOW!!!!! together again, sounds wonderful.
Does not matter if they get back together or not. We all try to bring something back due to nostalgia. But sometimes things are better off where they are. One can never capture past. One must move on.

As the weather starts to change and your skin becomes drier, it becomes more difficult to keep skin looking radiant. For most people, doing an overnight peel is a great option because you put the mask on before bed, let it work its magic overnight, and then wipe it off in the morning. However, some women (me included) have sensitive skin and these overnight procedures can cause irritation or breakouts. So I discovered my new secret weapon that I just can't live without: the Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Cleansing Pads ($6.49).
These pads help improve skin tone, texture and reveal brighter more radiant skin. The dual textured pad uses foaming skin-conditioning cleansers and natural soy extracts to leave the skin soft and smooth. One side is smooth in order to lift away dirt, oils and makeup, while the other side is textured in order to gently exfoliate the skin to get rid of dead cells. These cleansing pads are gentle enough to be used on a regular daily basis and work for any skin type and sensitivity. Also, in a clinical test, 100% of women showed improved skin. An added bonus, the container is small and light enough to carry in your purse!
There are very few things I love more than a good throwback, like an all-time classic movie like 90s teen hit Clueless — especially when it inspires something else I love: nail art. NCLA Clueless Nail Wraps are very similar to any other nail stickers on the market, except these are designed after Cher's outfits from the movie: animal prints, road signs, even some of the best quotes from the film. There are four different sets from the collection, including "Cher's Closet", "Everywhere You Go Has Valet", "I Totally Paused!", and finally my favorite, "Virgin Who Can't Drive". If you're a fan of the movie and not the best at doing your own nails, be sure to check them out — and even if you get them as a silly gift for a girlfriend, they're all around awesome!

FW schools now national laughingstock
Open letter to Earl VanDorien of the Federal Way School Board:
I appreciate your endeavors to get the Federal Way school district national attention, but dont you think that academic achievement would have been a better way than making us the laughing stock of the country?
Not since the Kansas school board banned science a few years ago has a school board been this ignorant, blindly unilateral, spineless and just plain stupid. Enjoy you re-runs of Bambi (G), and remember, even the ostrich has to unstick its head from the sand on occasion and see the world for what it is.

Labor Economist Richard Freeman to Liken New Innovation Measurement to GDP at STEM Enterprise Event at AAAS in June
WASHINGTON, May 17, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Leading labor economist Dr. Richard Freeman will liken a new way of measuring innovation to GDP during his keynote address at a STEM measurement workshop in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday 6 June.
Held at the American Association for the Advancement of Science, "STEM Enterprise: Measures for Innovation and Competitiveness," is designed to measure the impact and effectiveness of all public, private and academic money spent on research and development in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) area.
Workshop sessions will focus on four main areas: funding, workforce, output measures and indicators, and policy implications. For more information on the all-day event and to register, see http://www.ieeeusa.org/calendar/conferences/stem/default.asp.
Freeman, a Harvard University professor, contends that the usual methods of assessing innovation, e.g. R&D spending or number of patents granted, are not true measures of innovation, which he defines as "the creation of improved goods or services, or modes of production that are brought to the marketplace for sale or delivery to consumers, firms or the government."
According to Freeman, the absence of a general quantitative measure of innovation "mars our ability to analyze the magnitude and direction of innovation and to develop policies to encourage it. I describe a new way of putting together a genuine measure and database of innovations, based on Web-scraping product announcements and lists of top innovations from various industry and other sources that would be the innovation equivalent of GDP [gross domestic product].
"I argue that this is the next key step in social measurement necessary for us to understand the new economics of a knowledge-based economy. I will also talk about some related innovative uses of Internet-based data to produce 'leading indicators' of the direction of science and innovation."
The workshop is organized by IEEE-USA, AIChE, AIME, ASCE and ASME and supported by a grant from the United Engineering Foundation. Cosponsors include AAAS, ASTRA, SME, Thompson Reuters and Northrop Grumman.
IEEE-USA advances the public good and promotes the careers and public policy interests of 210,000 engineering, computing and technology professionals who are U.S. members of IEEE.

The Las Vegas Story is a half-hearted, semi-noir crime thriller-romance that just can't seem to get it together, although it does feature a slam-bang finale that partially redeems it. It's also curious that a film that was created to, at least to some extent, "sell" Las Vegas doesn't make the setting more appealing -- but that kind of fuzzy thinking is part and parcel of Story. The plot has a number of worthy elements that could have been worked up into a tight, gripping story, but the writers never get a good handle on the story, and the dialogue is never as sharp as it so clearly wants to be. While Vincent Price turns in a good performance as the second male lead and Hoagy Carmichael is on hand to contribute his typical, laconically enjoyable performance, the leading couple are poorly cast. Both Jane Russell and Victor Mature look quite good, but their performances are dull and uninspired, never rising above the routine. Robert Stevenson's direction overall is scattered, but he does pull things together for the car/helicopter chase near the end, a truly exciting sequence which stands out even today. Carmichael's trio of songs are also winners, particularly "The Monkey Song." Story just doesn't make it, but watch it for that chase.

Blast from the Past2 Reviews
Kait and Frank share there news and Gerard has a secret from the past
Downstairs everyone was growing more and more worried. They could hear no shouting and couldnt decide whether that was a good or bad thing. Gerard was sitting on the edge of the arm chair tapping his foot nervously, Mikey was still pacing up and down occasionaly mumbling something and Bob was over by the window watching out for when Ray returned from the store. They had waited what seemed like forever when finally Frank and Kait came into the living room, hand in hand.
"About fucking time" Gerard said looking up at them both. Ray came in the front door and into the living room "So what did I miss" he asked sitting down next to Gerard. "We just came down to tell you that me and Frank have talked and where going to keep the baby" Kait said with a smile on her face, which slowly dissapeared when Gerard shattered the bubble she was in "I cant believe you would do this Kait, you have know Frank like 5 days and your already fucking him and then this happens!" his voice was slowly rising and Kait was shocked by his reaction. "I-I thought you would be happy for me" she said not looking Gerard in the eye. "Happy?! What, happy that my cousins a little slut" he scoffed. Everyone looked at him shocked at what he just said, he even shocked himself but he was so angry and only Kait and Mikey knew why.
Kait would ussually get upset at Gerard shouting at her but she knew where this was going which made her more angry. "How dare you!" she shouted. Thats when they started throwing insults at eachother while the rest of them watched, speechless.
"Slut? thats rich coming from the family fuck up"
"Yeah well you came a close second!"
"But I sorted myself out, you carried on and didnt care who you hurt on the way!"
"Dont you fucking dare bring that up Kait"
"Ohhh and why not? Dont they all have a right to know what happened"
"Its not your fucking business to tell Kait!"
"Well you told me so now it IS my business to tell"
"I told you because I thought I could trust you"
"Oh well I must be to much of a slut to keep secrets then Gerard"
"Your not fit to be a mother!"
"I dont think your one to judge on that Gerard"
Gerard just looked down at the floor. Kait knew she shouldnt tell them but she was so angry she didnt care at that very moment in time. Mikey spoke up "Kait I dont think you should.." but she cut him off "No mikey, they should know then they will see how much of a hypocryte he is being" she spat. Kait took a deep breath and got ready to speak but she couldnt do it. She couldnt betray Gerard like that. Instead she just went over to him and flung her arms around him while she cried. "Your a stupid fuck you know that, but I could never do that to you Gee, Im sorry" she sobbed. He felt a surge of relief wash over him and he put his arms around her. "Its okay Kait, Im sorry too." When they released eachother Gerard stood up, knowing what he was about to tell them all could be a big mistake.
"Guys Kait Is right, you do have a right as my best friends to know what happened."
They all sat down and waited for Gerard to speak, not knowing what was about to be revealed.
A/N- Ohhhh I love a good cliffhanger. Okay I got a deal for you guys. If today this chapter gets at least 3 reviews I will post the next chapter today. So if you wanna know get reviewing and I promise as soon as I get the third review I shall post. So keep checking back for an update today :D

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Longtime motorsports announcer Paul Page will return to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network as its lead announcer next season.
In a statement, Page called the speedway his ''first love'' and said the best racing is in the IndyCar series.
Over the years, Page has called the fourth Indy 500 victories of A.J. Foyt in 1977 and Al Unser in 1987, Gordon Johncock's Indy triumph in 1982 after a thrilling late-race duel with Rick Mears, and Danny Sullivan's ''spin and win'' in 1985.

The Apple price target circus continues
Though this time, the $740 mark from UBS seems reasonable -- in two years.
By Jeff Reeves
Another analyst is kicking off coverage of Apple (AAPL), this time at UBS (UBS). The $740 12-month price target for the tech stock and a "buy" rating is the latest vote of confidence for Apple.
I know, I know -- more nonsense about Apple price targets. These things are the hype machine of tech analysts and frequently are just silly figures to get attention.
A now-defunct firm called Ticonderoga had a $666 price target on Apple back in 2011 from "analyst" Brian White. While it might not be too far off these days, this "mark of the beast" clearly was a gimmick.
Then in April, we got our first four-figure target -- a flashy $1,001 -- when that same Brian White apparently moved to Topeka Capital Markets.
It was enough to make Josh Brown, the pithy blogger behind TheReformedBroker.com, to write in a post that he was setting his own target of $2,275.
"I got there by looking at a telephone keypad and taking the digits from the A, A, P and L of the ticker symbol, he wrote. "Clever, huh?"
So what about the UBS coverage -- can we put any stock in it, or is it just the latest round of shenanigans from headline-hungry "experts" in the tech sector?
Actually, this time I think the target isn't bad -- as long as you consider it a 12-to-24-month target, of course. The $740 level is only 23% upside from here, after all, and I think that's very doable. But it will take at least a year and possibly two to get there.
The good news is, of course, that Apple will start paying dividends in July, so you'll get a nice 2.7% yield.
Read between the lines of the actual write-up on Apple from Steve Milunovich:
"Given Apple's revenue growth of 66% in 2011 and mid-thirties operating margin, it would not be surprising to us if the stock carried a P/E of 15-20x. Instead, Apple sells at 12.4x our C2012 estimate and 11x our C2013 forecast. Excluding $115 in cash per share, the P/Es contract by two points to about 10x and 9x. With a current ROIC of 36% and decent growth prospects given that Apple has only 9% of total handset units and dominates the nascent tablet market, this valuation appears quite conservative."
For starters, he's expecting the market to start chasing higher price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios. That indeed happens in bull markets -- but hardly seems likely in difficult times. So we have to wait for a broader market recovery for the forward earnings to really spark investment as traders look for growth instead of defensive investments. I personally believe in a recovery -- but not until 2013, maybe even 2014.
So be patient if you're expecting price-to-earnings ratios of 15 to 20 to be the norm.
Secondly, Milunovich is talking about the "nascent" tablet market and the prospect for future growth. The iPhone is a huge hit five years after launch, but it's important to note that growth took time. Apple managed to turn out more sales in fiscal 2011 (more than 70 million) than in the first four years of the iPhone's existence! The iPad is going to need more time to find that kind of demand and widespread adoption.
Not a lot of time … but another year and a half should do.
Throw in the dividends and buybacks -- and the $28.5 billion in short-term cash and $81.6 billion in long-term investments -- and you have a bulletproof stock that can weather any setbacks in the short term.
I personally own Apple, so this could be me just viewing the company with rose-colored glasses. However I, too, bought with the hopes of a strong long-term performance -- in part because I plan on holding AAPL for the dividends.
We all know the "smart money" can often be pretty stupid. But in this case, I don't think UBS and Milunovich are actively trying to make fools of themselves with this Apple call just for attention.
I happen to think $740 is doable -- by 2014.

Comment on: Commuter rail company cries fouls at T vetting process - Metro - The Boston Globe

The MBCR has been awful. The service in the last 10 years has gone downhill year after year. Only now that they are in danger of losing the contract do they have "great new ideas". Too bad- give someo more »

Woodworker's Journal
But it does bring a question to my mind. Here on the tundra, if you don't have a heated shop, woodworking slows down quite a bit in the winter. But in places like Texas and Arizona — I've heard that the opposite is true. If your shop does not have air conditioning, woodworking is relegated to waiting for a cold front to come through.
The question that comes to my mind is this: how do you sun-belt woodworkers deal with the advent of summer? What are your coping strategies for 100-plus degree days? Do you work all night and sleep all day?
If you've got a trick or tactic that you'd like to share, send me an email. As always, you'll find a selection of the missives in the Feedback department.

By BRIAN SKOLOFFAssociated Press
PHOENIX (AP) - Prosecutors plan to seek a retrial
of a former Phoenix police officer convicted last month of aggravated
assault after the jury failed to reach verdicts on charges of
second-degree murder and animal cruelty.
Prosecutor Juan Martinez told a judge Friday his office will retry Richard Chrisman on the two counts.
Chrisman's sentencing on the aggravated assault charge was delayed Friday.
Chrisman was charged after he fatally shot
29-year-old Danny Rodriguez and the man's dog during an October 2010
domestic violence call. Chrisman's partner says the man wasn't a threat
when Chrisman shot him. Chrisman said he only fired his weapon after
Rodriguez tried to attack him.
Chrisman, a nine-year veteran of the force, was
later fired. He could face up to 15 years in prison for the aggravated
assault conviction.

[video] Quick Take: Jim Cramer on Why Bank of America Is His Top Pick in the Banking Sector
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Bank of America (BAC) reported fourth-quarter earnings on Wednesday before the opening bell. TheStreet's Jim Cramer explains why it's a top pick going forward.
Bank of America beat on top- and bottom-line estimates, just as Wells Fargo (WFC) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM) did Tuesday.
And although the Action Alerts PLUS portfolio, which Cramer co-manages, is long JPMorgan and Bank of America, Cramer prefers Bank of America.
He explained that Bank of America's net-interest margins (NIM) are on the rise, along with noninterest income (fees).Furthermore, the banking giant is offering its five-year CD at 0.8%. Subsequently, it can invest those funds at a much higher rate, Cramer said. He suggested the unusual spike in litigation "will go down" and found nothing in the earnings report that "perturbed" him.
For all of these reasons, Cramer made Bank of America his top in the sector. He concluded that investors should not expect a big dividend increase, however, because he said that is up to the Federal Reserve, not management. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich.
At the time of publication, Action Alerts PLUS, which Cramer co-manages as a charitable trust, was long JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America.

Dinner: The Vesper
James Bond was a classy man, not necessarily a cocktail expert. This drink from Casino Royale is clean enough to drink throughout dinner, but it should not, as Mr. Bond might have requested, be shaken. I won't fault you if you do, but seriously, just don't.
• 3 ounces gin
• 1 ounce vodka
• 1/2 ounce Cocchi Americano
Stir all ingredients over ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist and drape a pretty woman over your arm.

Working for Google seriously has its perks. It's one of the world's most innovative companies, churning out new technology practically everyday…and that's not all! With offices across the globe, each location is unlike any other corporate space you've ever seen. Instead of the usual cubicals and conference rooms, Google locations make work fun by including loads of unique and cool amenities for its employees, such as recreational spaces, outdoor working areas, chic tables and chairs and so much more! Check out some pictures from various Google locations, which all have one thing in common: they're super cool!
Cambridge, MA
Google employees working in Cambridge offices are mixed with sales and engineering teams working side by side, making this location built for innovation. Besides offices for its employees, the space has separate bedrooms, complete with unique art work, for those who are seriously devoted to their job and are there from dawn until dusk, 24/7. It also features a patio deck for outside lunches or hang outs for when the weather is agreeable.
Chicago, IL
Chi-Town's Google offices have a pretty impressive game room that looks more like it should be located in a posh Vegas hotel, complete with a cards table and mini bar!!
Dublin, Ireland
Employees at Google Dublin don't get the Monday blues, probably because their offices look more like a college dorm room than a corporate work area.
HQ Mountain View, CA
This is where all the magic happens, which is why Google's HQ is so elaborate. Lucky employees not only work for one of the greatest companies on Earth, but they get to do so with awesome perks! This location has its own two-lane bowling area, dorm-room like communal that has its own pool table, as well as a mini pool for those who want to get in a swim before a big meeting.
Istanbul, Turkey
Isn't this a cute cafe or what? Na, just part of the eating area for Google's Istanbul offices…lucky employees!
Kirkland, WA
For Google employees in Kirkland, doing work on suspended orb-like chairs is just another day at the office…
London, England
Brits at Google's London office have one posh working environment that makes us all envious of their cool jobs! With a lounge-like area where employees could chill and amazing views of the historical city, who wouldn't want to work all day and night for Google?!
New York, NY
We're still not sure how any of Google's New York employees get work done with such an awesome outdoor eating/lounge space like this!
Tel Aviv, Israel
The Google offices in Israel are stunning inside and out and designed to be chic and sustainable with wooden themes and nature motifs. The very colorful spaces feature plush chairs, lots of open rooms with unique furniture and even a warped slide.
Zurich, Switzerland
Zurich Google employees seriously have it all! Not only are they working for Google, but everyday they get to partake in its lavish offices! This location features converted Alps ski lifts, and old fashioned lounge area that looks more like a men's only club and even a slide!

The best fix for legendaries - don't put any more in the game. Take the creative talent from the writers, quest designers, artists etc and rahter than make items that benefit a small number of players, make the raids and encounters better for all of us with fewer recycled models etc. Oh yeah...it removes that drama, too!
Really digging the idea for depositing into guild bank for rep. Would be nice as a guild leader or officer to put together a shopping list of needed items for that reward.
milindpania said...
Not to mention the resulting devastation in Arena and Rated BGs. Valanyr, Shadowmourne, Dragonwrath are wreaking havoc in Arena. The fight is in the balance, you could even be outplaying the other team, then the legendary procs and someone gets instantly killed ( or saved from a sure kill). Even in a game with enough idiotic random effects in the form of raiding trinkets, weapons and class abilities, the legendaries are the biggest culprit behind frustrating losses to players who in turn get away with horrible play.

Personally I like Legendaries, but they really dont seem all the legendary to me.
The rogue one kind of fits, but take me back to the Epic Hunter Quest, I only needed a few items from the Raids back then, but the rest was up to me, no help needed from anyone else. It made me learn skills that I as a hunter had to achive specific quests to gain my item.
I would like to see a legendary Guild quest for some achivement that would help my guild, like getting a guild hall, But I think all Class specific Legendaries shoul dbe something the character could do on thier own with little or no help from the guild or raids, this would stop the drama because the only one you could complain to is yourself for not doing it.

Making Legendaries guild-bound is no better than having them as player-specific. You're just shifting the loot drama from the early stages to the completion.
Honestly, there's only two solutions that have a promise of succeeding:
1) Make them individual, so that each person is working on their own without conflict. Flaw: everyone will have one.
2) Get rid of them. Flaw: nobody will have one.
Honestly, each time a Legendary comes out, I either feel sad that I can't have one, anxious that I might not get it, or (rarely) happy that I'm the lucky one. Hint: that last emotion is rare.
On the other hand, Legendaries would work much better if they weren't loot/gear, but trophies of guild successes, particularly paired with Guild Halls. How awesome would it be to have a (real) Fang of the Father hanging on the wall, with a readable plaque displaying the names of the people who brought him down? Every important lore figure could have a trophy for defeating them, and as the guild mounts up their successes, the Hall shows more and more trophies.
It seems far better than a weapon that everyone contributes to, one person uses, and eventually gathers dust in some dude's bank.

I really love the unique quest lines for the cata legendaries, I just wish I had been able to see them...

We all know Ebay and it's merit's. The worlds biggest shopping platform is home to every single product under the sun and all manor of steam showers is no exception. Great place to see lots of items, manufacturers and even refurbished or local second hand units under one roof. Great for comparison, keep in mind the commissions Ebay charges and look to see if you can get cheaper once you home in on the particular product on normal websites.
Turn around touch the ground, shut your eyes and think of Ebay! Yep just how you picture it in your head, what more can I say, second nature to everyone. This product driven site obviously has no support pages or guidance as you would not expect this and its not what you've come for
Nothing, nil, zip. It's Ebay
All products can be found here, you have the option to make a best offer on many as well. Always remember Ebay is new the best price and best offers away from Ebay could be better for you. Good place to find products and get that price down.
Having looked at some of the advertised prices on Ebay they are not actually too far above what the respective companies sell the items on there websites despite the commissions and advert costings. Bare this in mind and look to get the best prices over the phone or directEbay,

This looks familiar!
It's chilly. It's snowy. It's time to stop thinking about the downsides of winter, and time to focus on the fact that cold weather = next-level coffee and cocoa.
Mindy's Hot Chocolate (Wicker Park), Rick Bayless' Xoco (River North), and Star Lounge Coffee (Ukranian Village) are just a few of Chicago's one-of-a-kind destinations for all things drinkable.

Minority ethnic women in the Australian labour market
AbstractDespite its predominant focus on gender equity, the present managing diversity discourse in Australia generally overlooks multi-racial feminist perspectives. Consequently equal opportunity legislation and practices, designed for "mainstream" Australian women, do not take into account the diversity of ethnic and socio-cultural contexts and experiences of the "other" women.

What will be the best renewable source of energy in 2050?
As of now, we have Wind, Water, Solar, Geothermal, and many more. But as our technology changes and diversifies, do you think we will use completely different sources?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Aug 5 2012: I worked at a wind energy company. During my stay mt beleif that wind energy is the best solution was challenged. Granted - it is far better than oil. But its still far from perfect!
-The oil in every windmill has to be changed often. (we are talking a lot of oil here)
-The current buisnessmodel is sending a sparepart to several underdevisions of a company, hereby increasing the price of the item. This leads to a lot of co2 emission because of the excessive transport.
- The machine emits a low-frequence constant noise which is feared to affect humans and animals in a negative way.
Dont understand me wrong: i am a fan of windmills. I'm just saying that we need to get better at building them.
Regarding the "best" renewable solution, I think we need a healthy mix of them all. I especially would like to see big development in sea-wave energy. Sadly it seems that it will be one of the only things we can use the oceans for anyways, as we are in the process of destroying most life in it.
Aug 5 2012: I would invite you to take a look at
The Quixote Project at http://jpssis.com/index.html
And help us in our quest of the perfect windmill.
Aug 5 2012: Thank you for the invitation, David.
I don't know what position you have in this organization, but maybe you can enlighten me about this:
- Who will realize the best of the ideas?
- Where will it be patented?
- Will the design be open source? / who is making money from it?
I hope I'm too paranoid and that there's no real necessity questioning your intentions :)
Aug 6 2012: Thanks for your comment and your spot on questions.
In fact, right now, I am the organization.
Read A Humble Introduction on the site if you are interested further.
I hope it would give you an honest idea of my intentions.
This is very new territory for me. I need to make a living, but the idea must go beyond
making anybody rich, including myself. I am in the 99%, just getting by. I have a patent pending, big deal. I can't pay my medical bills.
I want to see this wind turbine design do some good for people. I am struggling
over just how to share / sell / give away what I have managed to develop so far so, yes I can make some money, but that it doesn't fall into 1% profiteering hands.
I am working on open source materials, which is a lot of work.
Thanks in advance for any other thoughts you may have.
all good things,
Aug 6 2012: After being on this site for some time, and with an MBA in marketing, I simply believe that this is not the place for business self promotion especially when persons think this is a targeted market who thinks as they do and when they paste in their contacts on several of our threads. Then, I think that sense of inappropriateness can be fairly expressed.I am personally pro-wind as Lenart has learned and while I appreciate learning I do not appreciate it being held out like a carot. If you wish to contribute to the mass of knowlege you are of course more than welcome but if your motivation is to profit from the like minded this is NOT the place. TED has paid advertisers that make this format possible.

The Art Cart Derby and Art by the Pint gets a little bigger every year. This years' event, set for Saturday, Sept. 21, 2-6 p.m., Conkling and Gough streets, carries with it a variety of artistic sideshows that are turning the event into the Southeast's own version of Artscape, without heat or formality.
Take Piecework, "a group of Baltimore friends who are also visual artists," in the words of member Kini Collins.
Much like the derby itself, in which entrants race "art carts" that they have designed to be both visually appealing and fast-moving, Piecework will be combining visual and performance art in a public print-making activity at 2 p.m. in front of the Laughing Pint on the day of the race.
The finished product is an "altered map" that will commemorate the 2013 Art Cart Derby. Proceeds from the sale of the $10 maps will go to Banner Neighborhoods, which is holding the derby in conjunction with the Creative Alliance, Southeast CDC, Loading Dock, The Laughing Pint and the Martin Pollock Project. A limited amount of 20 maps will be available for purchase.
Laura Vernon-Russell, Kathy Strauss, Micah Russell (son of Vernon-Russell), Kini Collins, Martha Simons and Harper Steinke (son of Strauss) make up the assembly line of stenciling, painting, gluing and cutting. Each Pieceworker has their own task.
It's not as simple as it sounds. For the assembly line to be most efficient, each of the six stations must use an equal amount of time—two minutes—no more, no less. The Pieceworkers have held practice sessions to internalize the routine, and each will take exactly two minutes to add his or her personal touch to the poster, including signature. A live performance from the Swingin' Swamis will play in the background, lending a Chaplin-esque air to the activity.
"If you think of a printing press—we're creating a human printing press," says Collins.
"We need the drummer from 'Ben Hur,'" comments Vernon-Russell.
The Pieceworkers meet periodically, but not on a set schedule.
"We've got mothers in the group; we've got jobs," says Simons. "Women artists—and you can disagree with me if you want—we rarely put ourselves first."
She adds that the group is quite supportive of each other, adding to the quality of individuals' art.
"As a visual artist, you're working in a closet," Simons says. "You don't know what's good and what's bad. I really trust these guys to give good feedback."

The weather outside is still frightful but that doesn't mean things aren't heating up news-wide in North Kingstown and Exeter.
In this week's Standard Times, get the latest information on the bomb scare that evacuated North Kingstown High School Monday morning, find out how local schools faired with recent roof inspections and get introduced to a local teenager who is making waves in a special NASCAR developmental program.
HOPKINTON - The dark and peaceful silence that enveloped the snow-covered meadows of rural Hope Valley was shattered early Wednesday morning when emergency vehicles sped toward Woody Hill Road. Word soon spread that, there, within the tiny hamlet of farms and forests, an apparent murder had occurred.
WAKEFIELD–President Obama's budget is due within the next few weeks and recently he called for cuts to the country's community action programs.
"I've proposed cuts to things I care deeply about," President Obama said on Jan. 25, "like community action programs." While how much will be cut is still to be determined, it is news that a program which was not de-funded by Nixon, Gingrich, or Bush, now will be cut by a former community organizer who used his experience in Chicago's blighted neighborhoods as supporting evidence for his leadership.
Coventry Police are investigating a string of vandalism incidents that occurred in town last week.
Several local residents in the area of Wood, Rathbun and South Main Street all got hit by the vandals.
Sgt. John Shields of the Coventry Police Department said that the calls started to come in to the station in the afternoon on the 20th. He said that all of the callers reported similar details for each of their separate cases leading police to believe that the incidents may have been committed by the same suspect or suspects.
With chill of winter encroaching, and the promise of more snow to come, children and parents alike are wondering what to do over winter break. The East Greenwich Parks and Recreation has given kids from grades 1-6 some fun options. They will be offering a February Vacation Program from the 22nd-25th of the month.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN/NARRAGANSETT – Last Wednesday brought another overnight storm, giving Rhode Island almost a foot of snow into Thursday afternoon. Despite the onslaught of snow, the South Kingstown and Narragansett public services are managing the road conditions.
"It was relatively uneventful. It was just a long storm," Jon Schock, director of public services for South Kingstown said.
La Salle Academy freshman Anthony Anderson, of Richmond, has won a Gold Key Award in painting in the Rhode Island Scholastic Art Awards competition.
JOHNSTON—The odor beside Rhode Island's Resource Recovery Corporation's (RIRRC) Johnston landfill differs with each season. Today, the air is filled with a sweetly rotten odor of mulch. Driving by piles of decomposing compost on the 110 acre property, one can literally watch it break down beneath its own steam. In December, there is a piney whiff of spruce. In the summer comes an olfactory overload–the pungent aftermath of summer seafood. But any odor is impermanent, diminishing if not disappearing beneath the landfill's smothering layers of earth and stone. From June 2009-June 2010, Rhode Island generated about 722,000 tons of garbage, actually lower than the million tons it buried in 2007. (Beside Johnston's 210 foot high landfill, a rocky dynamited patch called Phase 6 will handle tons more.)
After a long investigation stemming back to September of 2010, Rhode Island State police on Wednesday announced a major drug bust after obtaining search warrants at 376 Dry Bridge Road, Unit#A-3, in North Kingstown.
Thirty one kilograms of cocaine were seized in a hidden compartment in the Chrysler Pacifica located on the premises and $1,245,100 was seized from a hidden compartment in a tractor trailer truck.

Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman is headed back to federal court for a new sentencing hearing for his conviction on bribery and other charges.
Federal Judge Mark Fuller will decide Siegelman's new sentence in Montgomery on Friday and could order him to immediately return to federal prison after more than four years of freedom.
Siegelman and former HealthSouth chief Richard Scrushy were convicted in 2006. Prosecutors say they arranged $500,000 in contributions to Siegelman's campaign for a lottery in exchange for the governor appointing Scrushy to a hospital regulatory board.
The 66-year-old former governor was originally sentenced to more than seven years in prison. He served about nine months before being released pending his appeals. The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear his case.
Scrushy was recently released after serving about five years.

Artist- A few have already registered on Monday evening when it was turned on. That is great but now for the rest of you please Register to be a part of the show ASAP. The sooner we have the right mix the sooner we can post and share who will be in the show this year.
To register it is much the same as past years. Actually little to no change other than the date being Saturday, December 7th, 2013. The link is here: http://cincinnatishow.com/cincinnati-artist-registration/
Hope to see many of you from the past and some news folks too. I Can't wait for the show. Sorry I am a bit late posting the registration. I got back from Kenya later this year than in past years and both my laptops my good one and my backup were down so no way to move forward until I got them fixed.
Should be a great show this year.
