Tide Pools at Rialto Beach
I couldn't decide which was the best, the wildflowers of Mt. Rainier or the tide pools of Rialto Beach. I flipped a coin and Rialto won, so presented for your enjoyment are some of the creatures lurking in its tide pools.
Rialto Beach is in the northwest corner of Washington, in Olympic National Park near the town of La Push. We hiked to the northern end of the beach, to a spot called "Hole-in-the-Wall". Here is how it gets its name (note the hole at the left end of the wall):
Winning in the bright color category is the Ochre Sea Star:
Although ochre is a sort of orangey-brown color, this sea star also appears in purple:
I was curious as to what caused these different colors in the same species, some of which were right next to each other:
The best answer is "nobody really knows". But another curious blogger has looked into this pretty closely, and their diet seems to be a likely factor. Eating mussels seems to make the sea stars orange, and barnacles seem to make them purple. Hole-in-the-Wall has an abundance of both, in fact there are barnacles growing on mussels:
So the color of each sea star may be determined by what it prefers to eat. Check out this interesting article for more details.
Here is a cool close-up of some Thatched Barnacles. I believe the green part is algae.
And some very weird looking things which I found out are Goose Barnacles:
Here are some Whelks at a barnacle buffet. You can see the empty shells of the ones they have already eaten.
Here is the only type of fish we saw, a Tidepool Sculpin:
Let's finish with some prettier creatures. These are two types of anemone, a Giant Green Anemone (guess which one that is) and an Aggregating Anemone (that's the other one). The Giant Green is pulling a mussel from its shell. The pink stuff across the top is Coralline Algae, with three Limpets munching on it. In the bottom left is some Red Algae.

Fantastic day at the beach! Those starfish are so cool - I've never seen a live one. The color differences remind me of hydrangea blooms, and how the bloom color is determined by the pH of the soil. I wonder if barnacles and mussels have notably different pH body chemistry?ReplyDelete
Thanks for the comments.ReplyDelete
@Kevin - thanks for the link. I think that is the article referred to by the blogger I linked to above, although I don't have the entire article.
@Amber - could be the pH, nobody knows for sure. One theory I saw was that the "base" color was purple, and the orange was caused by carotenoid pigments in the mussels.
Thank you for this most interesting post! I've lived in Washington state for 40 years now, and sailed all around Puget Sound. Never have made it out to La Push; the colors of the critters are just gorgeous!ReplyDelete

Solares del Sur is a tranquil setting with nice views of the lake. It is also well-located for the glacier tours because it is the last pickup / first dropoff spot for the buses. Location is a little bit out of town but cabs are $5 at most and easy to get. I think you get more for your money at Solares.

2017 PGA Championship to stay in Charlotte despite House Bill 2 controversy
The 2017 PGA Championship tournament is staying in Charlotte, N.C., but the organization says it's evaluating whether it will hold more events in the state while House Bill 2 remains in effect.

No rest for Phil Mickelson, who hopes to stay sharp for PGA championship
TROON, Scotland -- Phil Mickelson will not have much time to stew about what will be remembered as one of the most confounding major losses of his career.
He shot 63 in the first round and 65 in the last and still lost the 145th British Open Championship by three shots to Swede Henrik Stenson, who played out of his mind.
In a schedule mashed ...Read more

In his mind, those were U.S. Open titles that he frittered away.

I'm in progress of optimizing a ASP.NET site by storing commonly used database objects in a cache and I'm wondering what are good tools to manage the cache?
I found http://aspalliance.com/cachemanager/ which seem pretty cool, but old? Also I have to install this in the webapp itself. I'd prefer an external tool? What else is out there?
(I also found Visual Studio 2005 add-in "Cache Visualizer" but download page http://blog.bretts.net is broken?)
Is there any way to access one webapps's Cache from other webapp running on the same server?
For example a typical object in my cache is the "type of user" (individual, company, student, etc.) that is pretty much static data. But once every year I might update this table and add a value. This is done in our admin app. Is there any way the admin app can access and invalidate "type of user" cache in the public app? (Without restarting the entire app).
I've looked at SqlCacheDependency but this won't work for us in this case.

"RE: D7000 or D700 or Wait?"
If you have the FX lenses, and need a top camera for weddings, and with the prices of new D700 are dropping, I would recommend getting the D700 now. It is perfect for weddings, and you only need a couple lenses, a 24-70 and 70-200 would probably fill all the needs. The D7000 has some traits that make it a very compelling camera, such as low ISO noise in another league, color and smooth color gradient that required a D3x before to achieve, but from all accounts it requires exacting technique, something a wedding photographer has few opportunities for except for formals. A D3s would be even more forgiving. Obviously something is happening in the marketing channel, here in Russia prices are high for all Nikon gear, the D90 kit has been $2000 since it was introduced. But the D90, D300s, D700 and D3s are all in good supply on shelves and have sale prices. A D90 kit is now $1300 and a D300s kit is $1600. That suggests that the large retailers have knowledge of introductions that we don't. The D700 replacement might be just around the corner. Here, the D7000 body only sells for the same price as a D300s kit. D3s' are hard to find in the US but suddenly they are on the shelf of every store here. One chain with 14 stores within 15 minutes of my home each have 1-2 in stock. Something is happening in Nikonland.But IF you need a FX camera for your work, get the D700 now. Even if a gee whiz D800 comes out in a few months, the price of a used D700 is not going to drop much. There is nothing in a D800 that will earn one penny more for you than your D90s or D700.

Quality Inn near Mountain Creek, Sussex County
Unfortunate problems with staff here. We stayed for two nights for a horse show and upon returning from a long day of showing at 9pm we found the room had not been cleaned. No towels. The staff came by/called multiple times to make sure we had enough towels (once was plenty, thanks) but it was not 9:30pm and everyone was exhausted. Will probably not stay here again on our next trip to the area.

Friends Away
My friend and I were staying overnight for the NJ Wine & Food Festival, which was nearby. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Checking in was quick and easy. Our only problem was breakfast, the selection was minimal and nothing had any taste to it.

A good overnight choice.
Attended a wedding at Crystal Springs Resort about a mile away. Needed to stay overnight and the Quality Inn had a great room rate, was very clean and suited our needs.

Good for a couples weekend but nothing more
The hotel served its purpose. My boyfriend and I were there for a quick ski get away and we're just looking for somewhere to sleep and keep our stuff which it was perfect for. The room could have been cleaner but there wasn't anything disgusting. Breakfast was complimentary with limited options but wasn't bad. There was enough room for the two of us for two days but I wouldn't recommend it for families or a week long vacation.
Quality Inn near Mountain Creek, Sussex County
Excellent value
Unbeatable for the price especially if you're going to mountain creek. It's right up the street

I have an automatic transmission and within the last few days when I get into the car and start it up and try to put the car into reverse it doesn't work. I have to depress the brake a few times or have popped open that little door on the shift area and unlocked it. Why is this happening? By the way, it happens more if the engine is cold like first thing in the morning or at the end of the work day. If you shut it off and start it up again within a short period of time it shifts out of park. I don't get it!

I've seen dust and debris get in the solenoid at the shift lever. Do you hear a click when you press the brake pedal, key in run position. System needs brake light switch input. the yellow/ red at the solenoid should have 12 volts in the run position ignition switch (7.5 Amp fuse number 32), black wire gets grounded by the computer to allow solenoid to operate.

Tippl: Activision's received over 5K applications for Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer
ActiBlizz COO Thomas Tippl has said the firm has received over 5K applicants to the Call of Duty franchise.
The resumes sent in were from folks seeking to fill vacant positions at Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer, and so far 60 folks have been hired.
"The Call of Duty brand is our largest entertainment property and it is important to redouble investment in the brand," said Tippl. "We will continue to pad it with talent and resources, and double our commitment as a long term investment."
Or something like that. We'll get the full transcript tomorrow.

i was driving into a gas station and was leaving and hit a vehicle the damage is very minor just a paint abrasion the officer asked if i had been drinking i said yes one beer. he did the pen test and i passed it and said that i am being arrested for a dwi. also he asked me if i wanted to take the breath or blood test and i said the blood and signed the form but never got the test done so i was sent to the county jail. I was bailey out and i got the paper back where i had signed for the breathalizer or blood test and it stated that i had refused it and he marked me as an adult when i am a minor.
Criminal Defense Attorney
You are not a minor if you are 17 or older - you are an adult. However, if you are charged with DUI - that is driving with ANY alcohol in your body because you are until 21 - and, unfortunately, you confessed to this offense. DWI means loss of the normal use of your mental and / or physical faculties due to the introduction of an intoxicant.
You need to hire a lawyer who can check into the credibility of the officer and watch the video with you. You only have 15 days in which to request a hearing on your license suspension matter, and your lawyer might want to use that hearing to gather evidence. Hire a lawyer ASAP.
Cynthia Henley
so there is no doubt that my license will be suspended?
If you are convicted, there is no doubt. If you lose the ALR hearing, tehre is no doubt. Hire a lawyer.
DUI / DWI Attorney
When you go to court,tell them you need time to hire your own lawyer. You need an experienced DWI lawyer who is familiar with the courts in El Paso. Ask the court staff who they would hire if they were charged with DWI. Court staff are a great resource. They have a front row seat and have seen many local attorneys in action.If this is your first court appearance, the Court should give you additional time to interview and hire your own lawyer. Finally, because there was a
"fender bender", you may be given "bond conditions". What that means is that a judge may order you to abstain from using alcohol or drugs while out on bond, order an ignition interlock, random urinalysis, etc., etc...
Your local DWI lawyers can tell you what to expect. Good Luck ! I hope this answer helps.
Merry Christmas !
My answer is based upon the limited amount of information available at the time of writing.I am a Texas DWI Lawyer. If possible, hire an attorney who is a member of the National College of DUI Defense, who is familiar with your jurisdiction. Jim Butler- myhoustondwi.com, dwisurcharge.com 713-236-8744
how should i plead when i go to court for the arraingment?
Not guilty.
DUI / DWI Attorney
You've raised several issues. First, you did not pass the HGN ("pen test") or you would not have been arrested. Second, it sounds like he changed his mind on the blood test. You need to show your copy of the Statutory Warning (yellow triplicate copy) to your defense attorney. She can sort out what happened as far as a refusal or what. Finally, if you are 17 or older, you are legally an adult in Texas. If you are under 21, an arresting officer does have the discretion to file a case as a DUI (class C) instead of a DWI (class B in your case). What you should expect is to be offered a DWI conviction. Texas law does not allow for deferred probation on DWIs, so you either enter a plea bargain or have a trial. You need to be looking for an attorney whose practices focuses on DWIs. They are technical cases and there are a lot of ways to beat them if you know what you're doing.

Criminal Defense Attorney
This charge is very serious. You need qualified legal counsel to assist you. Do not attempt to resolve this matter without a criminal defense lawyer. A good lawyer is an investment in your future. Good lawyers do not guarantee good results, since the results are so closely tied to the facts. But a good lawyer can make sure you make no uninformed mistakes. Good luck.

Lemna minor
|Lemna minor
|Scientific classification
|L. minor
|Binomial name
|Lemna minor
Lemna minor, the common duckweed[1][2] or lesser duckweed, is a species of Lemna (duckweed) with a subcosmopolitan distribution, native throughout most of Africa, Asia, Europe and North America, occurring everywhere that freshwater ponds and slow-moving streams occur, except for arctic and subarctic climates. It is not reported as native in Australasia or South America, though is naturalised there.[3][4]
It is a floating freshwater aquatic plant, with one, two or three leaves each with a single root hanging in the water; as more leaves grow, the plants divide and become separate individuals. The root is 1–2 cm long. The leaves are oval, 1–8 mm long and 0.6–5 mm broad, light green, with three (rarely five) veins, and small air spaces to assist flotation. It propagates mainly by division, and flowers are rarely produced; when produced, they are about 1 mm diameter, with a cup-shaped membranous scale containing a single ovule and two stamens. The seed is 1 mm long, ribbed with 8-15 ribs.[5][6][7]
It grows in water with high nutrient levels and a pH of between 5 and 9, optimally between 6.5 and 7.5, and temperatures between 6 and 33 °C.[8] Growth of colonies is rapid, and the plant frequently forms a complete carpet across still pools when conditions are suitable. In temperate regions, when temperatures drop below 6 to 7 °C it develops small, dense, starch-filled organs called 'turions', which become dormant and sink to the water bottom for winter; the following spring, these recommence growth and float back to the surface.[8][9]
It is an important food resource for many fish and birds (notably ducks); it is rich in protein and fats.[8] Birds are also important in dispersing the species to new sites; the root is sticky, enabling the plant to adhere to the plumage or feet while the bird flies from one pond to another.[10]
Cultivation and uses[edit]
It is often used as a plant in both coldwater and tropical aquaria as well as in outdoor ponds, though it must be frequently thinned by seining because of its rapid growth rate and may be considered a pest.[11] It is also grown as a commercial crop for animal feed, primarily for fish and poultry, as it is fast-growing and easy to harvest by surface skimming.[8]
Population and Competition[edit]
Lemna minor is structurally adapted to grow quickly. That enables it to populate bodies of water rapidly. It overcomes inter-species competition by growing a thick carpet over still water bodies, thereby shading out other plant species below it and eliminating the competition. With intra-specific competition, it will compete by absorbing as much of its surrounding resources as possible so that it has the energy to grow and reproduce.

I have an Xbox V1.0 modded with a muppet-x with Evox M8 on one bank and X2 4981 on the other. It also has a full SlaYers 2.7 install on it.
My problem is, my box is running very slow. When I load the MS dash (disabled chip) it take a long time to initially load up, and once it does, it glitches badly whenever I change menu directories (e.g. going from main to memory, settings to network etc.). And also, when I play a game (e.g. halo 2) from the disc drive or the hdd (doesn't matter which), it lags like crazy! MS dash or not! I take things a long time to load, and it will still be loading graphics while it's playing the scene!
Please help!

Under the Volcano
Under the Volcano
Harper Perennial, Paperback, 9780061120152, 402pp.
Publication Date: April 10, 2007
Geoffrey Firmin, a former British consul, has come to Quauhnahuac, Mexico. His debilitating malaise is drinking, an activity that has overshadowed his life. On the most fateful day of the consul's life the Day of the Dead, 1938 his wife, Yvonne, arrives in Quauhnahuac, inspired by a vision of life together away from Mexico and the circumstances that have driven their relationship to the brink of collapse. She is determined to rescue Firmin and their failing marriage, but her mission is further complicated by the presence of Hugh, the consul's half brother, and Jacques, a childhood friend. The events of this one significant day unfold against an unforgettable backdrop of a Mexico at once magical and diabolical.
Under the Volcano remains one of literature's most powerful and lyrical statements on the human condition, and a brilliant portrayal of one man's constant struggle against the elemental forces that threaten to destroy him.

I stayed at this hotel July 26-28 for a business trip. After getting in Norfolk at 7:00am, I was happy to be checked in early at the hotel with a smile. The room was very clean and spacious. The bathrooms were clean and nice (the shower had one of those massaging nozzles :). During my stay, housekeeping threw away many of my important documents for work (thinking I had already checked out). I informed housekeeping and they retrieved my documents before they reached the dumpster (thank God). The manager's reception was nice, although I missed much of it. The pool was refreshing (both indoor and outdoor). The gym was nice, but since their air conditioner was broken, it was a pain to workout in the extreme heat. To apologize, the front desk gave us complementary passes to a gym down the street. Another bonus, the hotel is very close to interstate 264 & 64 and minutes from the oceanfront. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the Holiday Inn. Its perfect for families as well as the business traveler, after all its an "Executive Center".

Microsoft is the Only Option for HD Netflix in the Browser
posted Saturday Jul 16, 2016 by Scott Ertz
Since the launch of Windows 10 Microsoft has had an uphill battle trying to distinguish Microsoft Edge from Internet Explorer. IE was "The Browser You Loved to Hate," an ad campaign that Microsoft ran before retiring the browser stated. It's true, the browser received a lot of hate with regular internet users, mostly because of previous versions that had not performed nearly as well as its competitors. With that, Microsoft switched entirely.
As part of their current push to get people to use Edge, Microsoft has published statistics about their browser. For example, the company had some harsh words for Chrome's battery performance while doing the same task: in this case, streaming video. In fact, in Microsoft's tests, and duplicated by other outlets, streaming video on Chrome killed a Surface Book battery 3 hours faster than Edge - a 70 percent increase for Edge.
This week, Microsoft made a claim that Microsoft Edge was the only modern browser to play Netflix at full 1080p quality. Microsoft claims that this happens for several reasons: hardware acceleration as well as access to PlayReady Content Protection and Protected Media Path, Digital Rights Management (DRM) technologies that are part of Windows 10. Now, this is quite a boast from Microsoft, and seemed unlikely to be true, so we took to Netflix to run some tests. Our results are after the break.

Yahoo Approaching End of Auction Period
posted Saturday Jul 16, 2016 by Scott Ertz
Since Yahoo's decision to sell the internet business, several attempts have been made to figure out exactly how to carry out the sale. The final decision was to hold a confidential auction, where bidders could determine the pieces they were interested in, and the price they were willing to pay. The auction has been held in several rounds, with bidders dropping out over time. The current round, which ends Monday July 18, is the final, and the board is expected to make a decision shortly after.
The bids are likely to range wildly because of the nature of the auction, but are expected to come in at as much as $6 billion. These bids can include the company's advertising, email, media and search businesses, as well as intellectual property and land holdings. What will not be included is the company's 15 percent stake in Chinese retailer Alibaba, nor their 35.5 percent stake in namesake Yahoo Japan.
The bidder list has shrunk to include Verizon, AT&T, Dan Gilbert, co-founder of Quicken Loans, who is being backed by Berkshire Hathaway, and a handful of private equity firms. While there have been identified issues along the way, none of them have been big enough to see the major bidders drop out. The biggest issue was the recent revelation that Yahoo and Mozilla have an agreement that could put any new owner on the hook for upwards of $1 billion if Mozilla determines that the new owner is damaging to their brand.
The question that remains for the big 3 bidders is, what are their intentions for the purchase? Verizon's seem clear: they would likely roll Yahoo and recent acquisition AOL into a single business unit to provide media and information services. AT&T's interest in Yahoo is likely to place it in competition with Verizon's AOL unit. Gilbert and Berkshire Hathaway, however, are unknown, but Warren Buffett only gets involved when he sees long-term value, so there must be a plan in there somewhere.
Once the sale is finalized, the remaining task for what's left of the corporation will be to figure out how to derive enough value from their offshore holdings, namely Alibaba and Yahoo Japan, to justify the existence of the company.read more...

As Pokémon GO Popularity Increases, Companies Capitalize on Trend
posted Saturday Jul 16, 2016 by Scott Ertz
When Pokémon GO released last week, it was clear that it was going to be big. Within a few days, the game had more active daily users than Twitter. With successes like that, it was inevitable that companies would figure out a way to take advantage of the popularity of the game. As the first full week of the game progressed, we saw lots of companies find unique ways to get involved.
Though Nintendo is the company behind the game, they certainly know how to use its successes to their advantage. First, they released to pre-order the Pokémon GO Plus, a connected device that allows you to know when a PokéStop, Gym or Pokémon are near, without the need to have your phone in your hand and burning battery. Within hours, the device's entire planned initial production had been pre-ordered, leaving the company with the need to end the pre-orders.
Following their initial success, the company also announced another piece of hardware: The NES Classic Edition, a miniature version of the original NES console, complete with 30 NES games pre-installed. The console will release November 11 for $60.
In addition to killing battery, the game also eats up data, though not nearly as quickly. In response, T-Mobile has announced that they will be offering 1 year of free Pokémon GO data, as part of their T-Mobile Tuesdays promotion. Starting July 19 and running through August 9, if you launch the T-Mobile Tuesdays app on your phone, you can sign up for the free year of data. You can also get a $15 Lyft ride during the same period, seemingly to get you to and from a Gym without having to actually walk.
The world's defacto "where should I eat" platform has gotten in on the Pokémon hunting by adding "PokéStop Nearby" to its list of filterable attributes. Obviously this means that people will need to add whether or not there is a PokéStop nearby to a location, but as the desire to find these landmarks increases, people will be more than willing to contribute to the database. As someone who recently ate dinner at a place with a connected PokéStop with someone else who was playing, I can definitely see the allure of knowing before you decide.
Busch Gardens & SeaWorld
These parks have an unbelievable number of PokéStops and Gyms on their properties. Looking at a screenshot of the park maps, you can almost not see the ground in many areas of both parks. On Saturday, SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, the parent company for both brands, ran a 4 hour promotion in which the company added lures to their PokéStops every 30 minutes as they expired. It caused the entire park to be overrun with Pokémon for the entirety of the event.

Nintendo to Release Stand-Alone NES Console
posted Saturday Jul 16, 2016 by Scott Ertz
Nintendo, either riding high on the release of Pokémon GO or using a well-coordinated strike, made a very surprising announcement this week - the return of the original Nintendo Entertainment system. Kind of. The new, console looks like a miniature replica of the original, but it has a lot of differences from what we know of as the NES.
First, the console will feature 30 built-in titles, which are listed below. Those titles will be the only ones available, as the cartridge lid does not open, the device does not connect to the Internet for updates and there is no external storage. What is on this little guy is all there will ever be without different hardware. This makes the console less like the original NES and more like the DreamGear hardware Nakia Mann discovered at CES 2016.
The controller plugs are different from the original, meaning that you cannot use original NES controllers, but must use the special ones designed for this model. The NES Classic Edition will sell for $60 in the US, and additional controllers will be available for $10.
Nintendo describes the game choices, saying,
The game lineup was chosen to provide a diverse mix of popular and recognizable NES games that appeal to a wide variety of players. Everyone should be able to find multiple games to enjoy.
Many of the games are well-known titles, but are not necessarily the types of replayable games one might expect from a device like this one. It is also disappointing that you cannot play original NES cartridges, something that many people still have, though might not still have a working NES console.
Are the titles below enough to get you to spend the $60 this November 11th when the NES Classic Edition hits stores? Let us know.

Another Messaging App, Line, Goes Public Successfully

Tech Initial Public Offerings are a tricky endeavor, especially lately. They are so difficult that, in 2016, there have only been 5 tech IPOs. The latest is another messaging app, and one you have likely not encountered unless you are communicating often with Asia. The company and messaging product are called Line, and they work just like products like WhatsApp.
Let's start with the IPO. The company, which is a Japanese subsidiary of the South Korean company Naver, offered stock on two exchanges: 22 million shares on the NYSE and 13 million on Tokyo's stock exchange. The stocks opened the day at $42 per share, netting the company about $1.25 billion for Line. Prices rose just about $2.50 per share during the day, and then tumbled, closing at $26.61 per share. At its height, the company was valued at $9.3 billion.
Comparatively, Facebook spent $16 billion for WhatsApp, a nearly identical product that duplicates many of the features of Facebook's own messaging app. Despite the repetition to their existing offerings, Facebook still paid nearly double the valuation that Line received during their IPO.
Speaking of Facebook, their IPO went similarly, opening at $42 and closing at $38.37. They raised $16 billion, however, as they offered many more shares at that price. Twitter ended up with a valuation of $31 billion after their IPO. Despite offering less stock and ending up with a far lower valuation that Facebook or Twitter, and a smaller valuation than rival WhatsApp was sold for, Line still managed to take the top spot as most successful IPO of the year, a mantle that clearly has little value.
Is this IPO an indication that tech companies are no longer worth what they once were to investor? Or are messaging apps simply worth more to investors than other tech companies? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.read more...
