Dominion seeks to build VA gas pipeline across preserved lands
Company has offered to more than replace the conservation easements it wants to take
A natural gas pipeline proposed to cross Virginia could cut through 10 different conservation easements set aside in the state.
Dominion, the Richmond-based energy company, is leading a group of four firms in seeking federal approval to build a 600-mile pipeline to supply gas to utilities in Virginia and North Carolina. It is seeking permission to lay the Atlantic Coast Pipeline across multiple conservation easements, where landowners have given up their development rights to preserve the sites' natural features.
The Virginia Outdoors Foundation, a state entity that manages more than 750,000 preserved acres statewide, is scheduled to consider Dominion's request at a September meeting of its board of trustees.
Pipeline opponents consider the project's infringement on preserved lands another strike against it.
"Dominion has gone too far with this unprecedented request," said Rick Webb, coordinator of the Dominion Pipeline Monitoring Coalition, which includes several environmental and community groups opposed to the project. The coalition contends the 42-inch pipeline will increase the region's reliance on fossil fuel when climate concerns should be driving a shift to solar power and other carbon-free energy sources.
Under the 1966 law that established the outdoors foundation, conservation easements can only be removed from state protection with the approval of the body's trustees -- and even then, only if the acquirer donates other land that more than offsets the loss, foundation spokesman James McGarvey explained.
Dominion is proposing just such a swap. In exchange for the rights to use 68 acres of conservation easements for the pipeline, the company has offered to buy and donate development rights to almost 1,200 acres of land elsewhere. The replacement lands have higher conservation-value than the easements the company is seeking to access, contends Dominion spokesman Aaron Ruby.
The pipeline route has not been finalized. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will formally begin regulatory review of the pipeline only after the route is settled. The line would carry gas extracted from shale formations in Ohio and West Virginia to customers in Virginia and North Carolina.

FontAwesome does not work for me when I put my app on IIS7 server.
In Firefox the requested URL is encoded to
http://l2etest.kema.intra/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf%3Fv=4.0.3 and I get 404. When I change
%3F to
? everything works fine.
Same thing happens in IE, but the request goes to eot font.
This is what I have in CSS (same as on FontAwesome page):
@font-face {
font-family: 'FontAwesome';
src: url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?');
src: url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix&v=4.0.3') format('embedded-opentype'), url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=4.0.3') format('woff'), url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=4.0.3') format('truetype'), url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.svg?v=4.0.3#fontawesomeregular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
I think the problem is that IIS encodes the URLs and instead of requesting
../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot? the request goes to
Please do not suggest removing '?' or '#' from the URLs. They are there on purpose and are essential. The question is how to make IIS not to encode the URLs in that way. Any clues will be appreciated.
Edit: Btw. the above situation takes place when in web.config I set requestValidationMode and requestPathInvalidCharacters:
<httpRuntime shutdownTimeout="360" maxRequestLength="102400" enable="true" requestValidationMode="2.0" requestPathInvalidCharacters="" />
Without it I get 400 (Bad request): A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (?)
How can I fix IIS to serve the font properly?
Edit2: OK, I found the cause of the problem. SquishIt bundling tool for MVC3 was changing those characters. When I exclude font-awesome.css from the bundle everything works fine.

What are your thoughts on video taping your labor?
I never thought I would actually consider it but I am. I will NOT set up the camera showing the baby coming out. I'd put the camera on the side of me, up by my head. I've heard from other girls who have done that and they highly recommend it. I'm not sure what my bf thinks of it, I haven't asked him yet.
Is that something you'd like to do when it's time?

A tangy salad with scallops
By SARA MOULTON
Associated Press
Scallops are the perfect summertime food — light, yet filling, flavorful, but also versatile enough to pair with all sorts of foods. In this case, with salad.
I call for sea scallops here, which are available all summer long.
But make sure to confirm that the bivalves in question are "dry" scallops or "day boat" scallops. Both terms guarantee that the scallops were harvested and brought right to market. Too often scallops are harvested at sea, shucked, and tossed into a wet solution containing phosphates, where they sit for days before making it to market.
That solution preserves the scallops, but it also pumps them up with water. This means that you're paying for that liquid when you buy them by weight, and that they'll weep liquid and steam in the pan, instead of browning. This makes for a tough scallop, and you want them tender.
For this recipe, I dip the scallops in flour before they're sauteed to give them a little crunch. If you can find Wondra flour at the supermarket, grab it on sight and keep it in the cupboard for recipes like this. A venerable brand, Wondra was the flour my grandmother Ruth used to thicken gravies. It is a low-protein flour that has been treated (precooked) so it dissolves instantly in water without lumping up. (That's what makes it wondra-ful.) The side benefit of Wondra is that it provides a nice little crunch you wouldn't get if you coated your scallops with all-purpose flour.
This salad sports my version of the carrot-ginger dressing that's standard at Japanese restaurants, which I've always found to be a delicious and refreshing change from oil and vinegar. As advertised, it's based on raw carrot, then flavored with fresh ginger and toasted sesame oil. My version also features a little hot sauce. I don't believe that's in the classic version, but I like it as a way to counterbalance the natural sweetness of the carrot.
This recipe yields a big batch of the dressing, about 1 1/4 cups, which is more than you'll need for the salad. However, it'll last for several days, and is easily repurposed to grace chicken, fish, pork and grilled vegetables, not to mention a plain green salad. If you don't have seasoned rice vinegar in the cupboard, just use plain rice vinegar and add a hefty pinch of sugar and a little salt to the dressing.
One note about the sesame oil: Be sure to store it in your refrigerator, along with all other nut and seed oils and all nuts and seeds. These items go rancid quickly.
I round out this salad with a couple of other welcome summertime ingredients: cucumbers and mango. The greens are arugula, which I tend to favor in all seasons because of its peppery bite. Of course, spinach would be perfect here, as would any of your favorite greens. Just keep in mind that, in general, the darker the green, the more nutritious it is.
Finally, if you're not a fan of scallops, you can always swap in shrimp, chicken, pork or even tofu. Consider this recipe a template for dozens of variations.
The dressing will make about 1 1/4 cups, but this salad will need only about 1/2 up. Refrigerate the rest for use on grill chicken, fish, pork or grilled vegetables.
Start to finish: 40 minutes
Servings: 4
1 cup chopped carrot
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
4 scallions, sliced, white and green parts kept separate
3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 to 4 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce (or your favorite hot sauce)
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup, plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
1/4 cup water
1 pound sea scallops, tough muscle discarded and scallops patted dry
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1/2 cup Wondra flour (or all-purpose)
6 cups arugula
2 cups chopped cucumber
1 mango (or 2 peaches or nectarines), peeled, pitted and chopped
1/2 cup toasted peanuts
In a blender, combine the carrot, ginger, white parts of the scallions, rice vinegar, soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce, sesame oil, 1/4 cup of the vegetable oil and the water. Puree until very smooth. Set aside.
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle the scallops on both sides with salt and pepper, dip them lightly in the flour, coating them on both sides and shaking off the excess, then add them to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the scallops until they are just cooked through, about 2 to 4 minutes per side (depending on the size of the scallops).
Divide the arugula, cucumbers and mango among 4 salad bowls. Top the salads with the scallops, scallion greens and peanuts, then drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dressing over each salad. Serve right away.

We spent one night here in July. This was a surprising find via bookings.com The apartment allocated to us was very spacious and clean. My kids had a wonderful time exploring the attic and playing with the toys and lego placed there. They also had a lot of fun with the swing and hammock placed in the garden. Overall a fantastic place to stay when visiting Legoland Billund. The host Erik is very friendly. We will be back Lillevang!

Simple Definition of leonine
: of, relating to, or resembling a lion
Examples of leonine in a sentence
a leonine mane of hair
Did You Know?
Leonine derives from Latin leo, meaning "lion," which in turn comes from Greek lēon. "Lēon" gave us an interesting range of words: "leopard" (which is "lēon" combined with "pardos," a Greek word for a panther-like animal); "dandelion" (which came by way of the Anglo-French phrase dent de lion - literally, "lion's tooth"); and "chameleon" (which uses the combining form from Greek that means "on the ground"); as well as the names "Leon" and "Leonard." But the dancer's and gymnast's leotard is not named for its wearer's cat-like movements. Rather, it was simply named after its inventor, Jules Leotard, a 19th-century French aerial gymnast.
Origin and Etymology of leonine
Middle English, from Latin leoninus, from leon-, leo
First Known Use: 14th century

Product Description
Visual Effects has become a ridiculously complicated road to travel, but Ron's book manages to straighten it out, pave it, and gently drive you down it with ease.
-Ken Ralston, Senior Visual Effects Supervisor, Sony Pictures Imageworks
An essential reference, The Art and Science of Digital Compositing thoroughly covers the fundamentals that every professional compositor should know.
-John Knoll, Visual Effects Supervisor
Effective digital compositing is critical in almost all visual effects work, and this book acts as a "soup to nuts reference on the subject. If you need a question answered, this is the book for you – recommended for novices and experts alike!
-Eric Roth, Executive Director, Visual Effects Society
Brinkmann has considerable experience both designing industry-leading VFX software and working at facilities applying this sort of software to create world-leading effects and imagery. It is this experience that makes The Art and Science of Digital Compositing the definitive text for the VFX industry and probably the most widespread book found on the desks of artists at MPC.
-Nick Cannon, Chief Technology Officer, Moving Picture Company
Without digital compositing, we would have no visual effects. This book is the fundamental reference tying the art of visual storytelling to the science of image manipulation through the lens of digital compositing.
-Richard Weinberg, Ph.D., USC School of Cinematic Arts
Ron's book is The Bible for visual effects. As soon as it becomes clear that someone doesn't know what they're talking about, I make them go and read this book before I'll speak with them again.
-Kim Libreri, Vice President, Digital Domain
About the Author

There are chapters on motion tracking, matte creation, formats & aspect ratios. Sections on lighting, shadows, atmosphere, curve editing. There's a interesting 'case studies' section in the back, which breaks down and explain certain composites from movies like Titanic, Star Trek, Independance Day, and a few others. Definately a worthwhile book.
Impresionante. Trata de los sistemas digitales con mucha precisión y mucha lógica desde los conceptos más elementales. Si quieres comprender el proceso digital totalmente, entonces, debes comprar este libro. Si estás ansioso por hacer cosas interesantes para enseñar de manera inmediata, entonces, puede que este libro te decepcione. Pero las bases te dan las pautas para hacer grandes cosas y para COMPRENDER, que es de lo que se trata. Recomiendo este libro encarecidamente.
but please note that this is not a tutorial/workbook type of book, if you are looking for exercises recreating special effects you need to look elsewhere, but on the other hand if you are looking for a thorough insight into what is 'really' going on (which can often be the difference when saving an effects) then this is for you, you will know about cineon, lin/log colourspace, pre/unpre-multiplied images etc.
great book!!
It starts by explaining the very basics and later goes into really complicated topics, not only explaining techniques but also telling you WHY something is done a certain way.
Very good read for everyone, beginners, pros and experts.

I think the reviewer who discusses at great length how this movie is "not anti-christian" is off the mark. Intentionally or not, this movie portrays all its most publicly-religious characters in a cynical light: the "Christian Profiteer" cafe proprietor, the foul-mouthed libertine Christian band singer, and the pathetic twenty-something-year-old virgin. I can't understand how anyone who takes their Christianity seriously is not going to be offended by this movie, but then there's many things I don't understand about such people; I'm not one of them, so for me it just made everything more obscenely funny.
It skewers everyone from conservative abortion protesters to collector geeks to clowns. I always say that everyone has a passion that other people don't understand and this film underscores that.
Definitely grab a copy of this. If you're not easily offended, you'll be totally entertained.
The easy targets spoofed by the film, including small-town hypocritical Christian rockers and the local abstinence counselling hotline, are ingeniously married to the completely original frozen food collection club idea, so that you can almost forgive the filmmakers for taking shots at sitting ducks. The characters and the actors who portray them are spot-on, compelling, and hilarious-- easily the best part of the movie. The specificity of the characters redeems the somewhat easy pickings nature of the satirical targets. This is the kind of "comedy gold" that you will want to watch repeatedly, and show to your friends.

I don't know enough about Jython to submit a patch. It could be that
the right thing to do is to make the CompilerFlags class serializable,
or the right thing could be to mark the compiler flags field
transient, or none of the above!

LumensThe amount of light that comes from a bulb, which has commonly been measured in watts. The more lumens, the brighter the bulb.
WattageA measurement of the power delivered to a component of an electric circuit (allowing a one-ampere current to flow through the component under the pressure of 1 volt.)
Bulb ShapeBulb shapes are denoted with a letter, which describes the shape, and a number, which indicates the size. The number indicates the diameter of the light bulb at its widest part in eighths of an inch.
BaseThe part of the bulb that connects to the fixture and its power supply. Bulb bases are denoted with the letter E, and a number which indicates the diameter of the bulb base at its widest part in millimeters.
VoltageIndicates how much voltage a bulb can accept via the fixture it's installed in.
Light Color TemperatureThe relative color from a light source, measured on the Kelvin temperature scale. Warm light is lower in color temperature (2700-3000 K) and cool, blue light is higher (5000 K).
Average Rated LifeThe average amount time that a bulb is expected to last.
CRICRI = color rendering index. This number, which can go from 0 to 100, measures the ability of a light or bulb accurately renders colors. The higher the number, the better, with most quality bulbs these days measuring at least in the 80s.

Malabar Spinach
To be honest, my initial attraction to Malabar spinach (Basella alba), had nothing to do with the edible nature of the plant. I was at a fellow plant-freak's house, and saw one in a pot growing up against a trellis. It was such a gorgeous, succulent-leaved thing, and something so unfamiliar, that I just had to inquire.
I had read about the plant before, but knew nothing about it. It starts easily from seed, so I started to grow it one spring, and found it a very satisfying plant to cultivate. A fast grower with large luscious leaves, this vine can reach up to about 30 feet or more. The plant blooms little strange pink flowers almost all through the warm season, and its little grape-like fruits, not conventionally eaten, can also be used to make purple dye.
Quite distinct in appearance from the more familiar version of spinach (and only very distantly related), this tropical plant's leaves are large and glossy. This plant loves heat and as long as it has sufficient water and soil fertility, it will explode all warm season. This is one of its greatest virtues: while most greens wilt and wither in high heat and can be challenging for much of the season in a desert garden, hot weather is when Malabar shines - literally.
If you protect it from frost in a greenhouse, it will continue as a perennial. But if you don't have the luxury of a greenhouse and live where winters are cold, any bit of frost will finish the vine for the season. Therefore most people will probably treat this plant as an annual.
However, the timing works great for those who live in coastal or mild climates, who usually grow regular spinach in winter, because this spinach-like leafy green grows when spinach grows bitter (spinach does not like summer heat). The plant is fairly un-picky, so as long as you have some kind of summer, you will have a vigorous-grower on your hands. But plant it in spring after all threat of temperatures below 35 degrees F.
The leaves and stems are used the most in cooking, though the stems tend to have a very mucilaginous texture. Young leaves are best: they are great in a sandwich, used as a soup thickener (especially if you use the stems) or stir-fried. There are several recipes online. I like eating them stir-fried the best with lime, chilies, coconut, garlic and ginger.
It is so versatile and productive that the garden writer Barbara Damrosch called it her "everything green," the one she picks and adds to any dish that needs a green element for taste, appearance or a nutritional boost.
There is a gorgeous variety called "rubra" which sports red stems. It has become a favorite plant for edible landscaping; grow it once and you will easily understand why. Many online seed sources offer it.
Malabar spinach is rich in vitamins A, C, iron and calcium, and is a good source of soluble fiber.

Three Henrico veterans honored
U.S. Congressman Eric Cantor (above, standing, third from right) presented the 2012 Congressional Veteran Commendation to eight local residents, including three from Henrico, during a Veterans Day ceremony at Clover Hill High School.
Retired U.S. Army Sgt. Walter George (standing, fourth from right), Capt. Donald Bloomquist (standing, second from right) and Sgt. James "Jimmy" Ray (standing, far right) of Henrico received the commendation from Cantor.
"As we celebrate Veterans Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who have defended our shores, preserved our freedom and promoted liberty since the founding of our nation, and we pray for those currently serving who are still in harm's way," Cantor said. "We also recognize the sacrifices made by our military families. Their support during and after service and deployments is invaluable to our troops.

Having spent my teen summers in Virginia Beach surfing, I also felt instantly at home amid the ocean-themed decor. From the ride-the-waves posters lining the walls and the TV displaying non-stop surfing footage, to the foosball table and enormous spools serving as tables, Pelon's is a delight for beach lovers and surfing fans.

What is 'Amortization'
Amortization is the paying off of debt with a fixed repayment schedule in regular installments over a period of time. Consumers are most likely to encounter amortization with a mortgage or car loan.
2. The spreading out of capital expenses for intangible assets over a specific period of time (usually over the asset's useful life) for accounting and tax purposes. Amortization is similar to depreciation, which is used for tangible assets, and to depletion, which is used with natural resources. Amortization roughly matches an asset's expense with the revenue it generates.
BREAKING DOWN 'Amortization'
1. With auto loan and home loan payments, at the beginning of the loan term, most of the monthly payment goes toward interest. With each subsequent payment, a greater percentage of the payment goes toward principal. For example, on a 5-year, $20,000 auto loan at 6% interest, the first monthly payment of $386.66 would be allocated as $286.66 to principal and $100 to interest. The last monthly payment would be allocated as $384.73 to principal and $1.92 to interest. At the end of the loan term, all principal and all interest will be repaid.
2. Suppose XYZ Biotech spent $30 million dollars on a patent with a useful life of 15 years. XYZ Biotech would record $2 million each year as an amortization expense.
The IRS allows taxpayers to take a deduction for the following amortized expenses: geological and geophysical expenses incurred in oil and natural gas exploration, atmospheric pollution control facilities, bond premiums, research and development, lease acquisition, forestation and reforestation, and certain intangibles such as goodwill, patents, copyrights and trademarks. Amortization can be calculated easily using most modern financial calculators, spreadsheet software packages such as Microsoft Excel or amortization charts and tables.

"File Signature Database information"
"Configuresoft powers S.C. National Guard"
Tripwire Inc. launched an effort last week for an open standard to validate the integrity of software running on several platforms.
The program, known as the file signature database, will help systems administrators validate legitimate software, uncover suspicious data and keep better track of file changes that could bring down systems.
Information technology shops are under pressure to deliver services in a secure manner, said Wyatt Starnes, president and chief executive officer of Tripwire, which makes integrity management software. Systems administrators "need to get [better] operational control over [IT] resources," Starnes said.
Joining Tripwire in the program are major operating systems vendors including Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM Corp. and Sun Microsystems Inc.; software installation vendor InstallShield Software Corp.; and security software provider RSA Security Inc.
Starnes said the National Institute of Standards and Technology has been actively promoting such standards through its National Software Reference Library and focusing on increasing the government's computer forensic capabilities. Representatives of the consortium and the institute are discussing combining their efforts, he said. The vendors plan to make the database available to government and law enforcement agencies to aid in cybercrime investigations.
Federal agencies with systems connected to the Internet could benefit from the initiative, said John Pescatore, Gartner Inc.'s vice president for Internet security research. "The ability to detect [software] that is out of configuration is a big thing."
A repository of file information and metadata derived from software vendors forms the heart of the proposed database and enables users to determine the authenticity of files that make up the software. Information will include file names and digital hash values that provide a unique file signature archive, which crosses operating systems and applications.
