Landscape condition is the patterns and connectivity of habitat in the landscape, both terrestrial and aquatic (e.g., forest cover, headwaters, riparian corridors, floodplains, wetlands, lakes and stream network connectivity). Green infrastructure assessments are useful in providing this information. Green infrastructure is an interconnected network of natural areas and open spaces that sustains ecosystems (Benedict MA and ET McMahon, 2006)Companions: National Fish Habitat Management Plan (regional Fish Habitat Partnerships, regional habitat planning); the U.S. Forest Service Watershed Condition Framework).

Will be in Lisle for 3 days, need rec for one night What is the "best" in Lisle? Price no object, we like all types of food.
Thanks in advance
Don't know, but I do know that neighboring Naperville has many more food options than Lisle. I did notice that a search on this board for "Naperville" yields some recs in Lisle as well, however.
Allgauer's Grill in the Lisle Hilton is an excellent choice. Creative dishes, reasonable prices.
Slightly east of Lisle in Downers Grove on Ogden Ave is Lao Sze Chuan - very good Chinese with unusual preparations.
In Lisle proper, there's not a lot worth going out of your way for, except for perhaps Chef Paul (a German/Bavarian restaurant that's received some accolades), a few Asian places (Fabulous Noodles, Joy Yee), and Chinn's 34th Street Fishery (decent choice for seafood). Your best bet probably is nearby downtown Naperville (and vicinity), where there's a lot more from which to choose.
You also might go east to downtown Glen Ellyn for Les Deux Autres -- a very comfortable "white table cloth" restaurant with creative French food.
First, when is your trip? Second, will you have a car?
There are certainly more food options in Naperville, but the vast majority are chain restaurants -- even at the high end. Some have good food and offer good value (eg Catch 35), some have good food but offer questionable value (eg Hugo's), but most are not worth the effort (eg Sullivan's, Rosebud, Bistro Margot, Joy Yee, La Sorella di Francesca).
Chef Paul's Bavarian Lodge (www.bavarian-lodge.com) is the place to go if you enjoy quality beer, as their selection is among the best in the entire Chicago area.
If Chinese fits the bill, then Lao Sze Chuan (in Downers Grove) and Fabulous Noodles are both wonderful places that I highly recommend.
If you want to be an unabashed carnivore for the evening, also in Downers Grove is Sal&Carvao, a Brazilian steakhouse. It's also a chain, but it does fall into the good food category, and it's a good value if you're a big eater.
If you're willing to take a 30-minute drive, there are three places that are exactly what you're looking for: Vie in Western Springs, Courtright's in Willow Springs, and Isabella's in Geneva. And if you trip isn't for another couple weeks, a fourth option is Niche, also in Geneva.
I know you're a frequent poster and generally respect your opinion, however in this instance I would say that the exact opposite is true with respect to Hugo's and Catch 35. In my experience, Hugo's can be expensive but actually is worth the money. Further, if I were visiting from out of town, I think that it's a place that I actually would enjoy. On the other hand, Catch 35 is pretty expensive across the board and really isn't that good of a deal, in my opinion. Just my 2 cents (agree with your other rec's, by the way).
Also, Adelle's in Wheaton is a solid choice for higher-end dining (though not in the same league as Vie or Courtright's, it is much closer to Lisle).
Hmm. Since the OP said that price was no object, Hugo's does offer options not available at Catch 35 (ie, Gibson's steaks), and the atmosphere is much more vibrant. But truth be told, if I were going to spend the amount of money required to dine at either place, my money would be spent at Courtright's or Niche. Or somewhere in Chicago, since one can easily park at the Lisle or Naperville Metra commuter lots after 4:30PM and take a train downtown...
re: markh
Markh, is Niche now open? If so, how is it?
Also, agree with all of the comments below re: Marriott Hickory Ridge, as well as the recommendations. Clara's also is a good choice for Italian in that area. Getting anywhere from that location, however, without a car will prove to be a challenge.
re: RMA
(bias alert: one of the principals at Niche is a friend.)
Niche opens on Wednesday. I attended a trial dinner last week meant to work out the kinks, and there are very, very few kinks to work out. It is rare for a restaurant to have no service glitches at a trial dinner, but that is exactly what happened -- I guess it pays to have a staff that all worked together for a couple years!
They performed miracles on the interior, it looks spectacular. And the combination of sound-absorbing material on the floor and ceiling will keep the noise to a manageable level.
Many of the opening menu items will be similar to those from the last weeks of 302 West, but whether it's a happier kitchen staff or a state-of-the-art kitchen, the items I tasted were a notch above anything I had at 302 West.
Niche will become a destination restaurant very quickly.
re: markh
Thanks for the info. I look forward to checking it out when it's open to the general public. I was a fan of 302 West, and also of Chez Francois (and Emilio's Granada prior to it). I'm glad to see that the traditions of those establishments are being carried forward and also improved upon.

Hi, thanks for the recs. We will be in lisle the 26th to the 28th of Sept.
We will be meeting internet friends(know them 8 years and never met face to face). They are taking us to Chinn's the 26th.
We need something for the 27th......We do not have a car.
By the way, we are staying at the Marriot, I imagine their restaurant is not that terrific.
re: Raisel
The lack of a car is a problem, because the Marriott Hickory Ridge (I'm assuming that's the Marriott where you'll be) is in an isolated location. You'll need to take a taxi to get to any of the options above, and since you'll be in the suburbs, getting a non-airport-bound taxi after 6PM is not an easy task.
So here are two options that will not require your getting a taxi.
There is a new restaurant less than a half-mile from the Marriott that should be opening in a week or so. It's called Blu Coral, and it's from the same people who own Starfish in Chicago and Swordfish in Batavia. If you enjoy sushi, this is by far your best option.
Next door to Blu Coral is Suparossa, a restaurant that serves good (never bad, never great) Italian food, but is best known for its stuffed pizzas. If you want to experience "Chicago-style" pizza, this is also an option -- and a good one, because I personally think Suparossa's stuffed pizzas are the best of their type in the Chicago area.
Both of the above are in a commercial complex called Seven Bridges, which includes other diversions like a world-class golf course, an IMAX theater and an ice-skating rink...
Thanks for the info. I look forward to checking it out when it's open to the general public. I was a fan of 302 West, and also of Chez Francois (and Emilio's Granada prior to it). I'm glad to see that the traditions of those establishments are being carried forward and also improved upon.

Joy Williams: Beautiful Redemption
- Tuesday, June 21, 2005
While she's probably the most content she's ever been both personally and professionally, Joy Williams doesn't smile nearly as much as she used to. And it's not because of some secret, underlying unhappiness. Or a futile attempt to front some fake angst in search of edgy street cred and a new fan base. Instead, it's the result of life experience, namely the four-year difference between being 18 and 22.
It's something that Britney Spears was forced to do after "Baby One More Time." Ditto for Christina Aguilera on "Genie in a Bottle" and Jessica Simpson after "Sweet Kisses." Even Christian music's own Rachael Lampa and Stacie Orrico had to undergo the occasionally awkward transformation process of growing up stylistically after a successful start as a teen artist. And that particular challenge was something Joy took very seriously as she contemplated the artistic statement she hoped to make with the release of her third album.
But even more pressing than what direction she'd aim for sonically — although the soundtrack has also progressed in conjunction with her evolved musical tastes — it was what she was saying that was far more important to her. Instead of relying on a pool of talented songwriters who'd craft something she'd relate to enough to sing with conviction, it was her desire to dig deep and get personal that paved the way for "Genesis" (Reunion), not to mention a new resolve with which she approaches life and ministry.
No More Plastic Smiles
Early in her career as she promoted her self-titled debut, one couldn't help but notice Joy's smile, something that almost served as the California native's trademark — much like Julia Roberts' toothy grin. "I've definitely been that person with plastic smiles, like the first time you and I ever met for an interview," Joy recalls. "I was so scared of not being liked that I just grinned and grinned and grinned. It wasn't like I was even scared of you; I was just scared that someone wouldn't like me."
And in the music business, a business where being liked fuels your very livelihood, Joy also found herself insecure and questioning if she even really had anything to share with an audience.
"I'd been so afraid to go out and really take some leaps and let myself get out there," she offers. "But when I was reading the Gospels, I was really transfixed by how Christ engaged people — just the fact that He sat down with people and didn't necessarily put a burning iron there and twist it to get the pain out. People were drawn to Him and felt comfortable to ask questions. In writing an album, I wanted to do that. I wanted to ask the questions. I didn't want to write it necessarily from an overtly evangelical perspective; I also didn't want to have songs with the complete answers in them."
A Messy Kind of Existence
When putting her fingerprints on the songwriting of "Genesis," Joy claims she didn't purposely set out to write in any particular way. What she did know, however, is that the project would focus on matters of the heart, something inspired by her own questioning moments.
"I wrote about being frustrated about not hearing from God while I was praying and just being like 'What have I done? Why are my prayers ricocheting off the wall?'" Joy says. "And my 26-year-old sister has just had a brain aneurism and just got re-diagnosed, possibly with a brain tumor. And my grandma is in the hospital. I've had one friend who told me that she's getting a divorce, and there is just so much in life that isn't formulaic. And it's painful; life is messy, but that's what makes it meaningful. And I think I've seen God use the messier parts of me and stretch me in those places when I thought I had it all together.

Major John Allard, PIO Office, 785-2415, 24-Hour Press Box: 799-2001, Ext. 1100
Investigators Seize 53 Illegal Video Gambling Devices
Lexington County Sheriff's Department investigators in cooperation with the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division on Sunday, September 29 seized 53 illegal video gambling devices in a work area and storage room that were partitioned off with plywood walls from the remainder of a commercial building on Morningside Drive near West Columbia. Investigators also arrested a 38-year-old Lexington man on charges that the man unlawfully possessed the video gambling devices that investigators seized.
Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts said sheriff's investigators arrested Brinton Lee Motley, 38, of 784 Parkhurst Lane, Lexington, on a charge of unlawfully possessing a gambling device. Motley was being held on Monday, September 30 at the Lexington County Detention Center while awaiting a bond hearing.
Arrest warrants allege that Motley unlawfully possessed 53 video gambling devices as well as pieces, parts and components that are used to repair, replace and operate illegal video gambling devices, Metts said. The illegal video gambling devices that Motley possessed included stand-up Chess Challenge II devices and table-top Double Platinum devices.
A Lexington County magistrate on Sunday found that the 53 devices all were illegal video gambling devices, which are subject to seizure by law enforcement, Metts said. The magistrate issued an order on Monday to destroy the 53 illegal video gambling devices. Under South Carolina law, a magistrate must determine whether each individual gambling device is illegal.
Sheriff's investigators developed information that illegal video gambling devices were stored at the commercial building at 2548 Morningside Drive, Metts said. At about 6:21 p.m. on Sunday, investigators executed a search warrant at the Morningside Drive building.
After they executed the search warrant, sheriff's investigators found 53 illegal video gambling devices in a storage room and work area that were separated from the remainder of the Morningside Drive building with plywood walls, Metts said. The storage room and work area were kept locked with a plywood door. The work area contained several illegal video gambling devices and parts from illegal video gambling devices.
A SLED agent assisted sheriff's investigators in determining whether the video gambling devices found at the Morningside Drive building were illegal, Metts said. SLED also made arrangements to place 48 of the 53 seized illegal video gambling devices at a warehouse that SLED uses to store such devices so that all of the 53 illegal video gambling devices did not need to be stored at the Sheriff's Department evidence building.
Metts asked anyone with information about illegal video gambling devices to call the Lexington County Sheriff's Department at (803) 785-8230 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC. Citizens also can report information anonymously by accessing the Crime Tip link on the Sheriff's Department web site (www.lexingtonsheriff.com).

Very friendly staff. Communal area at the entrance is a good place to socialize. You have to sit on bar chairs though. I would have preferred couches (which are available in the upstairs communal room). Shower situation needs to be improved. There are 2 showers which you need to enter naked. I would suggest having 2 separate shower rooms for more privacy. Bunk beds are unusual, and seem to take up a lot of space in the room, making the room look smaller. Simple beds would have been better.

Hostel was excellent - in a great location (plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes to choose from as well as super easy access to & from the airport), the facilities are excellent (they even provided heated blankets in case it got too cold!), huge in-room lockers and very clean bathrooms. Best of all was the staff - so friendly and always available for any questions or just a chat. Highly recommended!

Understand the difference between deep tissue massage, Swedish massage and other forms of massage therapy. Getting a deep tissue massage may be somewhat painful until stress pockets that have been around for a while can be worked out. After a session or two you should feel remarkable.
How to Choose a Deep Tissue Massage Therapist
While some massage works only the superficial layers of muscles, deep tissue massage gets down into the deeper layers. The massage therapist applies pressure in concentrated strokes until stress pockets are found and smoothed out. Deep tissue massage is helpful in increasing range of motion for an area that was previously "stuck," such as a shoulder or neck. For this kind of deeper bodywork, choose a deep tissue massage therapist.
Make sure your deep tissue massage therapist is qualified. The American Massage Therapy Association can provide you with a list of licensed deep tissue massage therapists in your area. To acquire a license, therapists must graduate from a program of study accredited by the Commission for Massage Therapy Accreditation/Approval in the United States and pass the national certification exam for therapeutic massage.
Contact your state licensing agency to check for any disciplinary issues with a potential deep tissue massage therapist.
Try out a few deep tissue massage sessions to make sure it's the right type massage for you. Most massage therapy schools have programs where students work on clients not associated with the school to help with their practical experience. Most schools keep a directory of graduates which can be another helpful way to find a qualified therapist near you.
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- It's smart to drink extra water before and after a deep tissue massage to reduce the dehydrating effects on your body and to help flush out the stress pockets released during the massage.
- Consult your physician before beginning deep tissue massage sessions.

Until the early 19th century in the United States, children as young as 7 years old could be tried in criminal court and, if convicted, sentenced to prison or even to death. Children under the age of 7 were presumed to be unable to form criminal intent and were therefore exempt from punishment. The establishment of special courts and incarceration facilities for juveniles was part of Progressive Era reforms, along with kindergarten, child labor laws, mandatory education, school lunches, and vocational education, that were aimed at enhancing optimal child development in the industrial city (Schlossman, 1983). Reformers believed that treating children and adolescents as adult criminals was unnecessarily harsh and resulted in their corruption. In the words of one reformer, the main reason for the establishment of the juvenile court was "to prevent children from being treated as criminals " (Van Waters, 1927:217). Based on the premise that children and young adolescents are developmentally different from adults and are therefore more amenable to rehabilitation, and that they are not criminally responsible for their actions, children and adolescents brought before the court were assumed to require the court's intervention and guidance, rather than solely punishment. They were not to be accused of specific crimes. The reason a juvenile came before the court—be it for committing an offense or because of abuse or neglect by his or her parents or for being uncontrollable—was less important than understanding the child's life situation and finding appropriate, individualized rehabilitative services (Coalition for Juvenile Justice, 1998; Schlossman, 1983). Historians have noted that the establishment of the juvenile court not only diverted youngsters from the criminal court, but also expanded the net of social control over juveniles through the incorporation of status jurisdiction into states' juvenile codes (e.g., Platt, 1977; Schlossman, 1977).
The first juvenile court in the United States, authorized by the Illinois Juvenile Court Act of 1899, was founded in 1899 in Chicago. The act gave the court jurisdiction over neglected, dependent, and delinquent children under age 16. The focus of the court was rehabilitation rather than punishment. Records of the court were to be confidential to minimize stigma. The act required separation of juveniles from adults when incarcerated and barred the detention of children under age 12 in jails. The act also provided for informality in procedures within the court. The idea of the juvenile court spread rapidly. By 1925, a functioning juvenile court existed in every state except Maine and Wyoming (Schlossman, 1983).
How well the juvenile courts around the country lived up to the founders ' aspirations is difficult to ascertain. They succeeded in diverting most children and adolescents from the criminal system, but they may

The Vespa PX125 has essentially remained unchanged since its introduction in 1977, but it doesn't feel 35 years old. Subtle changes to keep the Vespa up to date and to get it through Euro 3 emissions regulations mean it feels similar to a modern scooter, only with a two-stroke, manual engine. It doesn't handle like a sportsbike - but a ...

On the surface the Rieju does enough to be considered ahead of bikes from more established brands like Honda – with a fast engine and extras like a quickshifter with the R version - but poor build quality and bad handling can't be ignored.
125cc, 14bhp, 65mph, Insurance group
The SMS4 125 mirrors Husqvarna's championship winning supermoto range and is equally exquisite in its detail. But is this enough for the Husqvarnas to make learner-legal off-road machinery as popular as Yamaha's YZF-R125 has been for entry level sports bikes? The SMS4 125 isn't the cheapest learner legal available at £3219 – but cheaper than the new Lambretta LN125 scooter ...

Moto Hispania is a Spanish company with a reputation for quality at a price, which sums up the RX125R to a Tee. The newcomer is a stylish, sports learner 125 with a Yamaha-alike four-stroke engine. It's competitively priced, with sports biased handling, big bike looks and a reliable engine.

If your parents have a fair old wedge to chuck on your first bike, 125SM ownership is not only guaranteed to put a ruddy big smile on your face, but also pull the girls outside the local KFC. Nothing in its class looks as good. In 30 and 40mph limits (its natural hunting ground) it's rapid enough. But anywhere else ...

As the name suggests, the Moto Hispania SM1125 is a Spanish made learner legal supermoto. It certainly looks the part and will have young potential customers drooling at shop windows. It's competitively priced, being one of the cheapest in its class, but is let down by poor build quality and by using an old air-cooled Yamaha engine.

Cheap-as-chips replacement for the venerable CG125 offers the same kind dependable utilitarian transport but with a dash of style.

The Cagiva Mito SP525 is essentially the long-running two-stroke Cagiva Mito 125 brought up to date in every area and then dressed in bodywork to honour John Koscinski's 500GP efforts onboard the Cagiva V594 circa 1994.

The Yamaha TZR50 is an act of brilliant folly but tempting nevertheless. A screaming, old-school, supersports, 50cc sixteener, with all the bluster, mayhem, carnage, testosterone and manicness that implies. Being Japanese the Yamaha TZR50 is fairly durable too, though it can't match the performance of its European rivals.

Wax impression looks cheap
January 7, 2013
Reviewer: Marie from Missouri
The handle is beautiful and I love the box and the fact that the set includes wax. But this stamp just doesn't make a good-looking impression. The wax seal ends up looking like a cheap plastic disk. I think that the perfect circle around the eagle contributes to the inauthentic look. After my disappointment in this seal, I found a much better one under Brass Wax Seal Stamps (choose the "Patriotic" category.) It is oval. I use it with gold wax and it looks outstanding! It appears so absolutely historic.

After revitalizing the way we acquire music with their digital "pay-as-you-please" Fall 2007 release, In Rainbows, we were left wondering how Radiohead could ever transcend expectations. Nearly four years later they are sticking to their upscale packaging with the world's first "newspaper album" comprised of vinyl, CD, digital download, artwork galore and nothing left to be desired. Those who simply want to enjoy the resonance can purchase the digital only download, which comes in either 320k quality MP3 or WAV formats. The best part is it's Radiohead any way you cut it.

Namo Buddha is located height of 1750m. Its very imperative Buddhist Pilgrimage which lies about thirty eight KM east of Kathmandu. The Stupa and shrines built in this lovely little hill mark very very old holy sites which indicate the place where a famous prince named Mahasattva offered himself to a greedy Tigress with its some malnourished cub. This famous occurrence is depicting in a very nice stone slab and depict right next from holy Stupa. After making some diversion in & around the area here, you will drive to Kathmandu through Dhulikhel which takes 1:30 hours. Namobudhha hiking is one of the best hiking in terms of mountain view and religious way. After breakfast take a drive up to Dhullikhel and start a hiking up to Namo Buddha.

The trail goes steeply uphill for about an hour until reaching Namo Buddha.
Town is comparatively unhurt but where festivals safeguard tradition of native Newars are held. It possesses a number of beautiful temples, one of which maybe be oldest in Nepal. Besides it is famous for magnificent woodcarvings. Panauti once stood at the junction of important trading routes & had a royal palace in its principal square. Today it's just a quiet backwater, yet all the more interesting for that. The place is very nice not just the story carrying behind it but also the superb views on 360 degree around Kavre valley. There is amazing legend related to the Buddha, which is commemorated, by an ancient stone slab & a stupa with the all-seeing eyes of Lord Buddha. It is good place for meditation as well.

Kelvin Okafor | Portraits
Kelvin Okafor | Portraits
09 May - 31 May 2014
Born in Tottenham 1985, multi-award winning artist Kelvin Okafor's meteoric rise to acclaim has been well noted in the UK's media. His stunningly executed portraits are sought after by collectors and celebrities worldwide. This debut solo exhibition of 28 portraits will be on show throughout May at Albemarle Gallery.
The pursuit of perfection is the main driving force behind Kelvin Okafor's works, not only in the sheer quality of draftsmanship but the ability to evoke an immediate emotional connection between subject and viewer.
Okafor is preoccupied in painstakingly capturing and conveying the expressions and gestures of his subjects and is therefore not surprisingly a strong believer in patience being a virtue. The length of time required to create the finished drawing is of far less concern than Okafor's need to take the work to the highest possible level of execution.

VIDEO: See the Next Evolution in People-Focused Technology
List of Demos
GVU Center Fall Research Showcase
Technology that is changing the scope and quality of many human interactions - including healthcare, social networking, education and civic engagement - is being created at the GVU Center. We invite you to explore and interact with that future technology at the Oct. 30 GVU Center Fall Research Showcase. What will be the next great innovation in mobile apps, digital design or wearable computing? At the research showcase, experience a hands-on vision of the ideas and applications that you may be carrying in your pocket or using in the workspace in the near future.
Users will be able to test drive many of the more than 80 demos including applications that let you text without looking, interact with virtual objects placed in real physical spaces, and learn to play the piano with a tech-enhanced glove.
Researchers will show off Georgia Tech technology that is part of local community and government initiatives to create civic engagement and change. One example benefits cyclists using a new app that will allow Atlanta city planners to allocate funds for a new city biking infrastructure. Also, take a peek at forward-thinking designs, such as a wearable computing system for dogs with occupations.

The second quarter of the Detroit Lions season begins tonight against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. Could there be a better way to kick off the second quarter after a perfect 4-0 first quarter of the season? I can't think of one.
Detroit Jock City's Matt Snyder approached me for a quick Q&A on the first quarter of the season.
MS: In your wildest dreams did you allow yourself to envision the Lions at 4-0 entering their Monday night showdown with the Bears?
ZS: No and anyone that says they expected it is a liar. With three road games and just one home game, 2-2 was my expectation with dreams of 3-1. 4-0 is the kind of start that has me revisiting my expectations for the season as a whole.

I have never needed to finish my laundry as much in my life as I did this morning. I think I pulled the last cute outfit out of my drawers.
The shirt is a weird polyester nightmare--so, you know, a favorite. But it's strange an ill-fitting, so I wear it seldom. Perfect with this cute little shirt I picked up at Savers, though! Um, emphasis on little. It's a Gap large, and is definitely confused by my hips. Oh well.
I blinked for like every photograph today. Also posed like a maniac? But I decided to just roll with it.

Pumpkins, at a peach orchard. Yes, seasonal tradition meets Georgia tradition this weekend with the 7th annual Fall Festival at Lane Southern Orchards.
Rubber Duck racing, corn maze adventures, and hay rides are a few activities you'll find at the festival, but that's not all.
Duke Lane Junior is the President of the Lane packing company and says he's excited for the festival.
"For the adults and the children we have music actually we have music that's back in my time from the '60s, so I'm looking forward to it."
He also says there's one part of the festival that warms his heart, "To be able to take part of our proceeds and take them up there to the Children's Hospital in Macon, and then we spend that whole half a day up there with the children, carving pumpkins and painting pumpkins."
Fort Valley State's Behavioral Services Center launched the Teaching Everyone about Risks Community Coalition or Tears2C.
The program aims to lower alcohol and substance abuse...and drop the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.
"We've developed relationships with community providers such as Phoenix Center Behavioral Health services,"explained Jacqueline Caskey-James, the director of student health, "We've developed a relationship with the local DUI school here, HODAC in Warner Robins."
All efforts to bring individuals outside the school to the program.
The program targets 18 to 24-year-olds in Houston and Peach counties and involves peer-driven sessions that teach STD prevention and the impact of drinking.
REYNOLDS/PERRY/WARNER ROBINS/COLUMBUS-Proposed government regulations are expected to be extremely challenging for Flint Energies member bills, according to Chief Executive Officer Bob Ray.
"Since 2008, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has generated at least nine new regulations which attempt to reduce coal-fired generation for power plants," said Ray. "Just two of those regulations have already cost Flint members $105 million."
"These regulations essentially prevent construction of future coal generation plants," he said. "The new 'Clean Power Plan' which has been proposed gives Georgia no credit for already reducing emissions since 2005, sets targets for renewable energy and efficiency which will cost more than they save, calls for more natural gas generation but no more gas pipelines to get the gas into Georgia….and effectively destroys affordable energy for our members."
REYNOLDS/PERRY/WARNER ROBINS/COLUMBUS-Flint Energies undertakes constant effort in emergency preparedness throughout the year, but several events in October have sharpened the skills of the cooperative's employees, according to Sr Vice President Jimmy Autry.
"Each year, we plan a tabletop exercise where employees come to a meeting room expecting to see a disaster that needs a response," said Autry. "It's part of the inside joke is to call the tabletop event "Hurricane Jimmy" since I invent the challenge for our team."
This year, employees gathered to respond to the multiplying disaster of tropical force storm winds, flooding rains and a security breach into the Warner Robins Service Center location. As the event unfolds, a disaster team of employees that is assigned leadership on the spot evaluates the needs and calls upon resources to respond.
Dr. Earl Long, a former health scientist for the Centers of Disease Control, gave a lecture on Ebola at Fort Valley State Wednesday.
Long based the lecture on his experiences with the disease on his last trip to west Africa last year.
He's an expert on parasitic diseases.and was in west Africa to improve health services to reduce malaria when the Ebola outbreak erupted.
He says Ebola came to the forefront of his research, after one of the students who accompanied him on his trip died from the disease.
"Before it happened, Ebola was something that was there. I was not particularly concerned. I knew what disease was and I knew how to avoid it," Long said.
Governor Nathan Deal visited Fort Valley on Thursday to tour the Blue Bird bus factory.
They are not only creating buses, Deal says, they are doing important work in creating jobs.
Now that Georgia has the highest unemployment rate in the country, the governor says job creation is crucial.
Fort Valley State researchers were looking for an alternative to corn.
And thanks to 2.5 million dollars in federal grant money, they may have just found it.
"We were making bio diesel out of [corn] and the prices were sky rocketing, so definitely we needed a crop that can supplement corn," said researcher Dr. Hari Singh.
The alternatives are tropical plants like Napier grass, giant reed plants, and Forage Sorghum.
These plants can feed livestock and make bio fuel, two common uses of corn.
"Most of the farms you have some prime land and then some part of the farm is left without any use," said Dr. Bharat Singh, a lead researcher.
He says these grasses can be grown on that leftover land.
Which means farmers can make a profit making bio fuel, without touching their primary crops.

This is too amazing not to reblog and it also makes me feel sick and ashamed to be a human
(Source: robemmy)
…and then after all that we wake up to a new day. And we remember why we do it, why we live for each day, because what is - is. What happens - happens. There is only this moment, and all the moments leading up to this moment, and all the moments that might follow this moment. And in this moment there are good people, achieving amazing things. There is beauty in the world, beauty in existence, beauty to create. There is a whole world to explore, to learn about, whole little worlds of people and big worlds of people to learn about and from. And so it is that for the most part, we are optimistic, bright, hopeful, because we are curious creatures by nature. Everything new is intriguing, we will never stop learning, creating, the day we do, we die, or at least this body dies. After that, who knows? Perhaps our souls live on, our spirits carry on the torch, to keep learning, moving towards who knows what, where, when and why. And we fight for this because it means something, this knowledge of things. It means we know something more about ourselves, about our natures, about the world we inhabit, however briefly for now. It means we belong to, or are a part of something, in something, for something, doing something. We don't know what, or why, but we are a part of it…
Accendo. Pondera. Pax. Amor.
…and you wonder at our selfish need for attention, our complete disregard for your feelings. You created this; it's what you wanted. A generation to consume everything you selfishly created for your monetary gain. Oh I'm sure you worked hard, to make your money and get out before the dust cleared on a broken dawn. I don't blame you really - everyone else was doing it. What is left for us really, but to continue on this path? Of course we are trying to right your wrongs, some of us, trying to halt the rampant march of industrialisation, stop the earth from tipping the balance and destroying us. But you realise now, don't you, that it's a hell of a burden to carry. One we fight to ignore, just as you did. One that is simply gigantic in proportions, one that requires a worldview to fix. One that we are running out of time to make you all see… and you know, that we hope it will be fixed, but we don't really expect it any time soon…

"I'm 87 years old…I only eat so I can smoke and stay alive.. The only fear I have is how long consciousness is gonna hang on after my body goes. I just hope there's nothing. Like there was before I was born. I'm not really into religion, they're all macrocosms of the ego. When man began to think he was a separate person with a separate soul, it created a violent situation.
The void, the concept of nothingness, is terrifying to most people on the planet. And I get anxiety attacks myself. I know the fear of that void. You have to learn to die before you die. You give up, surrender to the void, to nothingness.
Anybody else you've interviewed bring these things up? Hang on, I gotta take this call….. Hey, brother. That's great, man. Yeah, I'm being interviewed… We're talking about nothing. I've got him well-steeped in nothing right now. He's stopped asking questions."

Samsung Group on alert after chair undergoes surgeryUpdated: 2014-05-12 22:39:16 KST
The failing health of Lee Kun-hee, the chairman of Samsung Electronics, has yet again emerged as a massive concern to the management of the sprawling Samsung Group.
Lee underwent an emergency medical procedure at the Samsung Medical Center on Sunday after suffering cardiac arrest.
Hospital officials say the 72-year-old is stable and showing signs of improvement.
"The chairman showed symptoms of heart failure and underwent an emergency procedure, which involved a stent placement. He's now in a stable condition and recovering."
Samsung's top executives, including officials from the group's Corporate Strategy Office visited the hospital, and held meetings to discuss the next steps.
Experts speculate Samsung will not take any immediate action, but they'll keep a close eye on the situation for the time being.
In 2008, when Lee gave up his position as Samsung Group chairman after a special inquiry which found him guilty of tax evasion and breach of duty, the group implemented several management reforms, but did not enter an emergency business management mode.
Lee returned to the frontlines of management in March 2010.
The chairman has a history of respiratory problems dating back to the late 1990s when he had surgery for lung cancer.
He was also hospitalized last summer with symptoms of light pneumonia.
With Lee's health problems taking a turn for the worst, Samsung is also expected to accelerate its corporate succession to Lee's three children.
Lee's only son -- Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jay-yong, will likely succeed him eventually.
Kim Min-ji, Arirang News.
Hope he recover soon!!!
Wish him all the best.

Send feedback to Cycle~
Viewing 4 posts - 1 through 4 (of 4 total)
HI, i'm new to this and i'm messing around with some basic synthesis, but i have hit a stumbling block, i can't work out how to send the output of the cycle object back to itself being controlled by a dial or such likes.
Please if someone can help thanks!!
send object and receive object
For example "send feedback" "receive feedback"
Hi thanks yes i had been messing around with that, though the problem i encounter is when controlling the amount of feedback, say from a dial as it is using max messages and my send/receive are using signals……………
any thoughts there?
to control the amount of feedback you´d implement a [*~ ] object into the feedback loop.
like most MPS objects, it also takes messages in the second inlet.

text: Sorry folks that I have been lost in space for a week now, but school was coming down hard and fast and I had some other engagements as well. On top of that my computer needed to seek medical attention for few days this weekend, but it is healthy now and I have stuff to share again so here comes another update. I should now be back on schedule again. For this update I have a gig poster that I did for school. It is for the artist Jean Michel Jarre. I chose a gig done for his 1997 Oxygène-tour. It is to be said that Röyksopp was not the opening act, but I had to have one and I couldn't find out who really was, so I just picked a band. For this project, I played around with brushes that I made myself. I constantly went back and remade them and changed settings until I found one that I really liked and this was the result.

There has been a resurgance of sorts at Michigan and Illinois as both teams are highly ranked in the AP and USA today polls. Michigan is standing still at number two, while Illinois has fallen a tad, but is still in the top 20. Who is the larger surprise Michigan or Illinois?
Ricky:As lead editor for the Writing Illini, I would say I am very surprised by the start the Illini had jumped out to this season. After firing Bruce Weber last year, I was not sure how John Groce would be in his first year as head coach of the Fighting Illini. So far, he has his team playing on a different level. Brandon Paul has stopped up as the senior leader and I think we could see a Illinois/Michigan Big Ten Championship game in the tournament.
George: Both teams have come along nicely, though Michigan was expected to be good as evidenced by their lofty preseason ranking. Illinois is easily the larger surprise, as nobody had this in mind. The Illini have a new head coach in Jim Groce, after Bruce Weber was let go, and have been a huge surprise with their wins. Now Big 10 play begins, the tough part of the schedule.
Each week, the staff at Through the Phog will react on the previous day's games in Big 12 football, basketball and other news that happens in the conference. We are always welcoming of comments that you might have on the topics covered each week. Our current staff includes lead editor George Pike, along with staff writer, Ricky Widmer.
