Nocturnists are doctors who work on night shifts. I was referring to "The Nocturnes." Their website explains that "The Nocturnes is an organization dedicated to night photography. Founded by Tim Baskerville in 1991 in San Francisco, it has grown to become the premier source of information and education pertaining to night photography, as well as an international community for night photographers. 'Our mission,' states Baskerville, 'is to promote night photography, so that people come to think of it beyond the visual cliches of neon lights, Christmas tree lights and fireworks.'" They both work after dark, anyway, but I apologize for getting the name wrong.rephotographica.comhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308462812779999986.post-69823543419746793472015-12-09T20:00:46.382-07:002015-12-09T20:00:46.382-07:00Excellent selection!

Like Yarrow, Pierre Verger expresses his "outright love" for his subjects in his photographs. Like Verger, Carol Yarrow leaves "exotic wonder" to the viewer's fantasy.

They should have protected and restored the entire neighborhood (not so big) which as the commentator writes, was one of the rare "human" places of Shangai where you could find and see people actually sharing their lives, contrasting with the hundred kilometers of gloomy, silent, boring and cheap low-rise building bars everywhere else around, one of the saddest urban environment I ever contemplated in my life. I wonder what they are going to offer as lodging substitutes to the "poor" people who used to live there. Maybe I'm too romantic in my interpretation of the facts (well, there was some slums), but the sure fact is that the old streets, for most of their parts, were extremely soulful, lively and architecturally rich and compelling.

Of course, I say that without handling the book myself. But, if I may be so bold, if the genre is so challenging as Parr asserts, how do photos of backs and rather simple framing elevate street photography?

These kinds of photographs of "behind the backs"have been around for a very long time. Even before photography, there were paintings of backs, such as with " Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog," by Caspar David Friedrich. I can name several photographs off the top of my head who have created similar works. What do we gain by piecing them together into typography.

If we are trying to achieve a new vision, I don't see how this work accomplishes that. Perhaps what Parr enjoys are the lyrical aspects of a repeating tapping the same chord on a piano? It gets old, doesn't it?
Perhaps it's the textile nature of the book itself, which I can't possibly now from my online view. Even so, that tangible aspect which we all desire from books and prints doesn't elevate street photography, per se. If anything, that forwards to a discussion about bookmaking. Not ideas.

Sorry Martin Parr. I just don't see this as the evolution to what should be celebrated.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser
By KBB.com Editors
Sold in the U.S. from 1960 to 1983, the Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser remains one of the most respected off-road vehicles of all time. The Land Cruiser nameplate survives to this day, in fact, but affixed to a much bigger, much more expensive vehicle. Toyota's 4Runner has also grown, both in size and in price, to a starting sticker near $30K, which necessitated the need for the FJ Cruiser. The 2010 FJ Cruiser is Toyota's answer to the popular Nissan Xterra and the venerable Jeep Wrangler. The FJ Cruiser backs up its distinctive, retro-esque styling with serious off-road capability, thanks to features like body-on-frame construction, big tires, available four-wheel drive with two-speed transfer case and available locking rear differential.
Whether you're drawn to it as a comfortable and versatile daily driver, a weekend off-roader or just an expressive way to get from Point A to Point B, you're sure to appreciate how well the 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser does it all.
Depending on what other vehicles you might be considering, the FJ Cruiser's potential faults include marginal fuel economy (although it's slightly more fuel-friendly than the Xterra), big blind spots at the sides and a cargo area that's not as accommodating as those of some other SUVs.
The 2010 FJ Cruiser sees improvements in horsepower and fuel economy; it also now requires less-expensive regular fuel. A new Trail Teams Special Edition package is offered for the first time.
Whether you're hoping the FJ Cruiser shines brightest as an off-roader or a daily driver, you'll be happy to hear it fills both rolls exceptionally well. Except for its limited...
... side visibility and a wide 41.8-foot turning circle, Toyota's trendiest SUV is as pleasant to drive as many sedans. Off-road, the FJ Cruiser's 32-inch tires, steep approach and departure angles and sophisticated traction aids combine to deliver world-class off-road capability. Compared with its most closely matched competitor, the Nissan Xterra, the FJ doesn't corner as eagerly around town but does deliver a marginally softer highway ride. As for the off-road comparison, we'll give the nod to the Toyota, although the Nissan remains impressive.
Subwoofer Switch
A big, console-mounted subwoofer on/off button makes it easy to optimize the listening experience when switching from talk to rock, for instance.
By automatically applying the brakes to a spinning wheel, Toyota's active traction control system forces torque to the opposing wheel and boosts the FJ Cruiser's off-road capability.
Equipped with water-resistant seat fabric, rubber flooring, removable rear seat bottoms and big control knobs designed for easy operation when wearing gloves, the FJ Cruiser's interior is decidedly purpose-built. Still, it's a very comfortable cabin for front and rear passengers alike, even if entering or leaving the rear seat through the small rear-hinged doors is tough to do elegantly. The rear cargo area isn't huge, but convenient hooks and tie-downs add functionality. A color-keyed center cluster adds a touch of whimsy.
With two smallish round headlamps flanking a low-profile, rectangular grille, the FJ Cruiser's face provides the strongest link to its FJ40 ancestry. The contrasting white roof, wraparound rear glass and available roof rack are also familiar. In total, though, the 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser isn't as stylistically true to the original as the modern MINI or VW New Beetle are to their ancestors. Exterior features worth noting are the FJ Cruiser's big 32-inch tires, three windshield wipers and available side mirror-mounted lamps. Toyota also offers plenty of add-ons geared toward off-road duty.
Base FJ Cruisers are equipped with two-wheel drive, automatic transmission, air conditioning, power windows and locks, a six-speaker CD/MP3 audio system, auxiliary audio jack, electronic stability and traction controls, front seat side-mounted airbags, roll sensing side curtain airbags, two front airbags and 17-inch black steel wheels. Four-wheel-drive FJs come standard with a six-speed manual transmission.
FJ Cruiser upgrades include keyless entry, cruise control, rear sonar parking assist, rear backup camera, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, eight-speaker audio system with six-disc CD changer, subwoofer, steering wheel-mounted audio controls and a 115V/400W power outlet. Options for off-roaders include the new Off-Road Package, an automatic transmission (4WD models), a rear differential lock, A-TRAC active traction control and an inclinometer. New for 2010 is the Trail Teams Special Edition Package that brings with it the Off-Road Package, Sandstorm exterior paint with matching roof and blackout hood paint, outside mirror-mounted illumination markers, beige seat inserts, trail-rated Bilstein shocks, rear backup camera, BFG All-Terrain tires on TRD alloy wheels and a set of 12V, 100W and 115V, 400W outlets.
A sophisticated aluminum V6 anchors three powertrain combinations that include a five-speed automatic transmission coupled with either two-wheel-drive or a part-time four-wheel-drive system, or a six-speed manual transmission teamed with a full-time four-wheel-drive system. Four-wheel-drive models include a two-speed transfer case. Off-road capability is enhanced with locking differentials and electronic traction controls. Rock-crawling specs include approach and departure angles of 34 and 30 degrees, respectively (32 and 29 degrees for two-wheel drive models). The FJ Cruiser has an independent front suspension and solid rear axle, and its maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds.
4.0-liter V6
259 horsepower @ 5600 rpm
270 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4400 rpm

"After wanting an FJ Cruiser ever since they first came in production I finally bought a 2007 well cared for pre-owned with 100k on it. I have not owned it long enough to speak of "reliability" but based on my research and reviews I am not worried about that. I have owned many Lexus cars/suv's over the years so I am familiar with Toyota reliability. I have owned many nice cars including Porsche over the years and I must say in the short time I have owned this FJ it is my favorite vehicle I have owned. It is just fun to drive, it looks great,etc, etc. Lets look at a few things that people bring up about the FJ. First is the "blind spot". If you adjust your mirrors correctly and buy some $2.00 blind spot mirrors for both side mirrors and pay attention to what you are doing it is not a factor at all. The simplicity of the interior design is what I LOVE about the vehicle. Mine has the basics I want/need AC, cruise, am/fm/cd, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, 4x4. If you want a luxury SUV look at Lexus or something else. This SUV is utilitarian by design and function. I have a 7yo son and love the ability to wash the inside out after a trip to the beach, park, etc. My biggest complaint is the lack of storage by means of an enclosed arm rest compartment. Their are some aftermarket companies that have options be even they are not what I would like or used to. I will be looking at some workarounds to fix the storage situation. With a vehicle their are usually trades off no matter what. Love the Lexus RX series (I owned one) but they are not designed for "off road" even with the AWD version. The Dodge Durango (owned one) has great storage and space front and rear but the over all look is not that appealing. I don't consider myself a gear head but I do like nice cars. I am 45 years old and my FJ gets compliments from young and old. Plan on being part of the FJ "fraternity" because as you pass other people in an FJ they will wave or stop and talk. Strangers will either look at you, nod, or simply start asking questions. In the end the FJ is AWESOME if you understand what you are buying and what it is. It has been a long time since I have owned a vehicle I was excited about driving and finding myself looking for reasons to drive somewhere. I feel like a 16 year old that just got his licenses and wants to drive everywhere all the time for no reason at all. My plan is keeping this SUV for a lifetime and letting my son in 9 years drive it when he turns 16. It is a SUV me and him can enjoy together tinkering,doing small repairs, and doing modifications. I think this is the type vehicle that becomes part of a family for generations. P"

It is dependable and rides great in the city or rural. I have a two wheel drive and that is fine for me. If someone is looking for speed this is not the right vehicle.

"I bought my FJ the first year it came out in 2006. Had to find a Voodoo Blue manual 4x4 that was top of the line at that time. Had to hunt around calling a number of Toyota dealers to find the FJ that was like the one on the brochure. Ended up paying sticker since it was just out and had to have it, but loved my FJ from the first test drive. I've taken into snow, the desert, trails in Death Valley going into some interesting places from Tea Kettle Junction into the mountains during snow. The engine still purrs like it was new, the gas mileage at least back then for a SUV was actually good, the 4 wheel drive in low will get you through just about anything that most people will come across, and it is just a fun tank looking thing to drive around in when I feel like it. Luckily it isn't my daily driver so only have 55k miles of vacation/fun travels. Still drives like new and looks it!"

Pros: "Good power and performance, on demand 4WD"
Cons: "Spartan interior, mediocre gas mileage"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"Owner for seven years with virtually no mechanical problems. Motor runs better than the day I bought it and just keeps getting better. Interior is somewhat sparse but this is intended for serious off-roading. Would certainly buy another one if they had not dropped this model."

Politics Sen. Craig: Undercover Officer "Misconstrued" My Actions
posted by August 27 at 16:17 PMon
Via TalkingPointsMemo…
"At the time of this incident, I complained to the police that they were misconstruing my actions. I should have had the advice of counsel in resolving this matter. In hindsight, I should not have pled guilty. I was trying to handle this matter myself quickly and expeditiously."
What were those actions again, the ones the officer misconstrued?
I could see Craig look through the crack in the door from his position. Craig would look down at his hands, fidget with his fingers, and then look through the crack into my stall again….
At 1216 hours, Craig tapped his right foot. I recognized this as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct. Craig tapped his toes several times and moves his foot closer to my foot…. The presence of others did not seem to deter Craig as he moved his right foot so that it touched the side of my left foot which was within my stall area, the report states.
Uh… is there more than one way to construe playing footsie in an airport toilet with a complete stranger?

Are you a woman whose career is important to you?
Perhaps you've been really successful up to now, but are starting to get bored. Or, maybe you're frustrated, or feeling isolated and alone at work. Or, you could be in a leadership role and feel overwhelmed by all of the politics and expectations.
I can help.
My wish for you is that you LOVE your career.
My even bigger wish is that women across the world fill positions of power, enough to shift the tipping point towards feminine leadership skills. My hope is that such a shift would change the world.
But, back to you…
I've been where you are. I've had my own career frustrations. My career began in a completely male dominated field. There were literally 40 male new hires and me, the lone female. Later in my career, with 3 boys to raise, I was continually reevaluating my options. I agonized over how I was going to use my talents, earn a living and still maintain my sanity!
If you are ready to STOP:
- Going it ALONE – assuming successful women don't need help and that you are weak if you need support
- Settling for CRUMBS – being unclear as to what you want and also not courageous enough to ask for it
- Minimizing your VALUE – underestimating or not truly knowing what you know and the talents you have
- Playing it SAFE – staying fat and 'happy' in your comfort zone instead of realizing that fear makes life fun & exciting
- Talking SMALL – using specifically female communication styles that weaken your impact
To be happy and successful, we simply can not work in jobs that don't fulfill us. We spend way too much time at work – we must love what we do.
It's NOT an option.
If your career is important to you, then contact me immediately to set up a free, collaborative interview. You will get to know me and I will get to know you in a 1/2 hour meeting over the phone.
Just click Book Appointment on the right if you have questions or sign up to get to know me better through my video and newsletters.

I have 5 one gallons jugs set to fill up for drinking water.
Great info! An addition, if I may? Don't forget plans/supplies for any pets :)
Oh they were bad, real bad, but they did not hit NJ like the one in 1962.
Maybe if we all put our minds to it, we could "think" it bsck out to sea...
I know - dream on.
Good comments about the gas.
I'd like to piggyback an additional caution on your comments for people who might wind up using gas-powered electric generators to be extremely conscious and careful about ensuring they have proper ventilation to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning from the exhaust. People die every year from that while using generators in poorly-ventilated areas.
I just heard that. I listen to a Salisbury radio station during the day.
Darn Good idea — and if you're thinking about doing it... better start right now.
After Rita we had a tree (BIG pine) on the house and no electricity for 3 weeks. We were evacuated for duration of no electricy. We're 70 miles from GOM...as a bird flies.
Hope you and victim of circumstance are doing well...
Was planning to bake some pumpkin bread anyway.
I also have about 30 tins of sterno.
In case of electricity loss, I'll be able to heat up can goods.
Thanks for the info about the gas. My tank is less than half full... thank you for reminding me to fill up, FRiend!
Think I'll stop off at the bank and take out some extra money just in case.
We are doing well. We survived the earthquake. Now we just need to get through Irene with minimal discomfort. Hope you and zelig are well.
Don't forget your non-electric can opener!
Thank you so very much. Been looking for a hurricane thread. Sure would like to see it in breaking news soon.
We have an old well out front with a broken pump in it. A bucket works too. :-)
Good idea. I did that before the debt debacle.
The latest NHS forecast still looks like it's riding the coast the entire way up the Delmarva into NJ before hitting around NYC. But it's still so far out that the track errors could be huge (they say a four-day forecast has an average variance of +/- 200 miles to the centerline of their estimate, and they show that on the map). I think it's fairly safe to say that the coastline along the Eastern Shore and up into DE, NJ, and Long Island had better get ready for a wild Saturday and Sunday, though. How wild depends on just a few miles movement of the storm.
Yes! Our banks were closed for 2 or 3 days and opened without elec to cash checks only. They had cops and cashed checks only for their customers.
Well those recruits at the Coast Guard Station in CapeMay are in for a wild ride.
Good suggestions with regard to the generators.
Allow me to add:
My parents were even further south than we were during Katrina. It was still a cat 1+ when it passed just to their east. THEY were w/o power (and cell phone service) for FIVE WEEKS. All the cell phone towers were damaged. They didn't have a generator prior to Katrina (they have one now! LOL). Fortunately their neighbor across the road (they live in the country) is a doctor who had a generator. My dad had an old railroad luggage cart. The big one. They put the generator on that for transport and 4-5 families 'shared' it with everyone adding gas. IIRC they ran it for 2-3hrs each to charge up fridge and/or freezer and run a television to catch up on the news. When each family was done with their turn, they unhooked it from everything it, allowed it to cool off enough to move and then took it (walked with it on the wagon) to the next family. I have no idea what the duty cycle on this particular generator was so that might be worth looking into if power outages are protracted.
Might invest in some professional siphoning equipment. Towards the end they were siphoning their spare vehicles for the gas to run the generator. They had to choose between generator or travel. Gas shortages mentioned in previous post.
It was nearly a week before their road was cleared of 6-8 *massive* 100+ year old oak trees enough to drive a car around. The doctor rode his mountain bike to the hospital every day. 10m each way. In 90+ heat post Katrina. We like this doctor, he's kewl.
Mind you, this was rural MS. There was NO looting in their vicinity. Ain't nuthin' worth dyin' fer. Besides, they'd have shared if someone needed it bad enough.
No clue what will happen post storm with flash mobs. Might not amount to much, though, if the cell network is disrupted. Kinda hard to summon your hoodlum friends if there's no tech to do it.
Praying for y'all!
I'm not in NJ anymore even though my location is still there. NJ message board is way more fun and interesting than the MS board. I like to keep up with people I know.
Oh, and if you're thinking 'my power lines are all underground I have nothing to worry about!', think again. What Katrina took out were the BIGGIE transmission lines. YOu know, the 100+ft towers (guessing height here). For several months, every trip on I-55 we noticed the southbound lanes were big rig after big rig after big rig pulling trailers with those big transmission line pieces on them. Katrina played for keeps!
Just had a new roof put on 5 years ago.
Suppose to be able to take up to 100mph winds.
I hope they are not tested this weekend.
Gasoline is always hard to come by after a storm.
Remember with generators the the very real possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning, always a few people loosing their lives needlessly.
Keep them well away from your house and ONLY OUTSIDE.
Another thing on generators, you'll need extra gas naturally, but don't forget oil. The smaller units 5 to 7.5 KW usually don't have an engine oil filter and you will have to change oil every 24 hours of operation, so get at least 5 or 6 extra quarts of oil.
A couple of rolls of thick plastic sheeting is helpful if your roof starts to leak.
Hurricanes spawn tornadoes.
Your mention of flash mobs brings up an interesting point. This storm is potentially going to track across a couple of major urban areas (Norfolk/Virginia Beach/Suffolk/Chesapeake VA and metro NYC) and fairly close to Philadelphia as well. Given what's been going on this summer, I do wonder what's going to happen if those areas take a hard hit from this thing and there's massive power outages and transport disruption.
Great list mware.
For those in areas potentially affected by Irene GAS UP NOW. I've been through 2 cat 3s and the gas lines right before and after blew my mind.
Best wishes.
All good points. I want to add that my parents (my dad especially) and all their neighbors (including the doctor) are 'country people' who have grown up around equipment and know what to do with it and how it runs. If this is new stuff to you, BE VERY CAREFUL. Find someone who knows what they're doing (that you KNOW knows what they're doing) if possible.
Never run a generator inside. Not even inside your garage with the garage door open! I'd be cautious even in a postage stamp yard with privacy fences. Maybe run it on your driveway for a few hours to charge up fridge/freezer and get some news, let it cool off and then put it back in your garage overnight so it won't get stolen (as easily). That sort of thing wasn't a problem in my parents area. In an urban environment it might become an issue.
I grew up in Toledo, Ohio. In tornado alley. I spent a lot of my summers in the basement. lol
hi dixie sass,nice to see you.((((Hugs))))
If I might add something to the gas info....
Last year in Kentucky there was an ice storm that knocked out power to several cities. Some of the ham radio operators from our area went to help. Even though some gas stations had generators, they couldn't pump the gas because the internet was down. Gas was there, power was there, but there was no way to access it until they got their internet connections established again.
Ocean City, MD just ordered mandatory evacuation to start at midnight tonight.
I remember when Katrina hit. Things started going downhill about 6am that morning for us. Hubby had to go in 1/2 day as he's support staff. I'd been up all night with a brand new baby (4w old that day in fact) and was exhausted. No way the baby was sleeping with all that racket. Hubby walked in about 12:30pm and I essentially handed him the baby and ran upstairs. Put in earplugs and slept through Katrina. When I woke up about 7:00 that evening there was a goodly breeze coming in the windows. He'd basically sat back and watched out the french doors on the lee side of the house. He watched limbs go by. Shingles go by. Baby just wide eyed. Once I woke up we stayed up and talked until about 10:00 and he went to sleep leaving me night shift with the baby again.
So, I listened to WWL out of NO to see what was going on there. At that point the news stations thought NO had caught a break with flooding. But, around midnight there started to be callers talking about water running down their street. Water 3-4ft deep running down their street. 'That's not good!' said the DJ. Nope. Wasn't. Listened to that all night as the DJ and civil defense finally figured out what had happened.
Meanwhile, we lived in an urban area not too far from the bad side of town. With windows open. So I found my hubby's .45. Just me, the baby, a candle, the radio and hubby's .45 Will never forget that.
Wow, they've ridden out some nasty storms too.
Our particular area got power back within a week. Including land line service. Most of our issues were wind damage. For flooded areas, especially if comms equipment is flooded, that would be an issue.
Most retailers now need internet to talk to the mother ship.
As my grandfather used to say 'I'd rather be lookin' at it, than lookin' fer it!'.
Take it from a veteran of Katrina, Betsy, and more hurricanes than I can remember:
You will need a lot more than 1 gallon per person per day to flush toilets. Fill tubs and some 5 gal. buckets.
Fill refrigerators now to keep them cool longer. Make block ice if you have a large freezer, from gallon (or larger) jugs or plastic buckets.
If the power should be out long enough for your refrigerator to lose all its cool, empty it out and leave the door open, to prevent maggots from breeding in spoiled food. Dispose of perishables because they will spoil and turn really, really nasty if you don't. You have 5 days to a week before this will be necessary. Less time in hot weather.
Finally, what sounds silly but really is critical to your happiness and comfort: vacuum the house and do laundry right now!
Is the "no singing on the thread" rule still in force?
Is the "no singing on the thread" rule still in force?
I know. And Delaware officials are telling visitors to not bother coming this weekend. I was planning on going to Dover tomorrow.
where do you live NOW?
Don't forget to fill your tub..for flushing..or other none drinking but water needed.
If the lights go out, does it really matter?
fill your tubs,as well.
My parents used the big giant plastic garbage cans. Dad got them the day before Katrina hit. Get the kind with secure lids and you can store them outside in the garage. Kiddie pools might work too if you have a basement or somewhere to store them w/o their spilling and making a mess. I put plastic wrap over the drains on my tubs when I use them to store water. That way a slow leak doesn't hurt you long term.
Be like Jerry Brown and you won't have a problem.
I have to agree about the laundry. Do it now. It may be a while before you can do it again. Don't start out a crisis with a pile of stinky laundry.
Get playing cards, board games, paperback books and embroidery if you do it. You may be bored. Very bored.
We got 5 or 6 loaves of bread and a flat of peanut butter (I was postpartum, it was the only thing I really liked right then. Can't remember what hubby ate). Tortillas would work too.

So, I would like to check which sets of backup I have already successfully made, which files are included, when they were saved (it would be great to be able to see each single version of the file, but I'd be quite happy to see which date is latest successful backed up version).
Is there a tool that could help?

Fulton BluesJanuary 9, 2013
Fulton is a community in Richmond, VA that is older than the city itself. From its docks on the James river, the first African captives were marched to the city's slave market to be sold into bondage. This Black town on the east end of the city endured for more than 300 years until its land was seized and the families living there were forcibly evicted in the name of greed masquerading as progress.
Fulton Blues, Corey Harris' new collection of both original and classic material, celebrates the timeless sound of traditional blues with fresh, insightful lyrics that paint an unflinching picture of life in the American South, both then and now. The stories in the fourteen songs on the album range from love, loss and longing to celebration, tragedy and triumph. Fulton Blues is rooted in the blues tradition with true story-telling and soulful musicianship. It is the next step in the nearly twenty-year career of today's most daring and innovative acoustic blues player. Coming Jan. 31!
True BluesOctober 24, 2012
Corey Harris project "True Blues", featuring Taj Mahal,Shemeka Copeland,Guy Davies,Alvin "Young Blood" Hart and Corey Harris,will be recording a live CD and DVD to be released on Telarc records in Early 2013.

SANTA FE — Republicans are lining up against a Democratic-backed proposal for redistricting New Mexico's utility regulatory agency.
Republicans complained Saturday that proposed district boundary changes for the Public Regulation Commission will make it harder for GOP candidates to compete in some parts of the state.
In 1911
Tuesday, Sept. 19 — Yesterday the ground at the corner of Ninth Street and Douglas Avenue was broken for the foundation of the Elks' new $30,000 club house and in six months from today the Las Vegas lodge will have one of the largest and finest homes in the Southwest... The exterior of the building, which is of the English Tudor, or modified Gothic type, is to be of brown flashbrick extensively trimmed with native stone... The roof is to be half pitch and covered with red clay tile.
LVCS board meeting is Tuesday
The Las Vegas City Schools Board regular meeting begins at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 20, at the board room in the administration building at 901 Douglas Ave. Items for action include selection of a replacement for Ricky Serna, who has resigned his board position.
A 10 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon. Mostly sunny, with a high near 77. Calm wind becoming west 5-10 mph. Partly cloudy at night, with a low around 50. A 10 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before midnight. West wind 5-10 mph.
A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly sunny, with a high near 76. West wind around 5 mph, becoming south. A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms at night. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 48.
Las Vegas remains in Stage IV water restrictions. Under the restrictions, residents are not allowed to water their lawns at all. At-home car washing is also prohibited. Local car washes may remain open as long as they are using recycled water. Fines range from a warning for a first offense to a $450 fine for a third and subsequent offense.

The air will ring with the sound of mariachi music in a serenade for the birds at the Las Vegas National Wildlife Refuge on Sunday. Originating in the state of Jalisco in Mexico, mariachis accompany celebrations of every kind and speak often of heroism and love.
The Friends of Las Vegas National Refuge celebrate another year of public service with a love song to the birds and your national wildlife refuge.
Outgoing Las Vegas City Schools board member Ricky Serna nominated Ernesto Salazar to his position on the board during a special work session earlier this evening.
Serna's resignation from the school board becomes effective tomorrow, Sept. 16 - just several months after his election to the board.
Other interested applicants announced during the Thursday evening meeting are: Christopher M. "Chris" Torres and Sean Medrano. They both expressed written interest in Serna's board position.
A Las Vegas man was killed early Wednesday morning during a domestic dispute, Las Vegas police said.
Angelo Padilla, 40, died after sustaining what appear to be stab wounds, Police Chief Christian Montaño said. Padilla was pronounced dead at the home, located on the 200 block of Commerce, near the Interstate.
Shirley Griego, the woman who police said killed Padilla, sustained injuries that required medical treatment, Montaño said. He did not know how old

A renovation of city public housing units on Church Street and New Mexico Avenue is aimed at increasing curb appeal of the duplexes, but a mixup with the contractor put the residents safety at risk, city Housing Director Robert Pacheco acknowledged during a public meeting on Tuesday.

Wendy Armijo, Leonore Encinias and Gina Marie Medina are on a mission to battle DWIs in San Miguel County.
The three work for the DWI County Program, a prevention, educational and compliance program designed to combat problem drinking here. They strive to educate everyone from young children to DWI offenders.
"One of the goals is to teach children at a young age how to make good decisions," Medina said. "Once they learn to make good decisions we hope it continues onto adulthood."

Although not all cats go crazy for catnip — about one-third of cats do not respond to catnip — the ones who do seem to have a special love affair with the plant. Watching cats strung out on catnip is almost as enjoyable for you as it is for them, so to keep the good times rolling, you want to make sure you have plenty on hand at all times. Keep different varieties of catnip around to ensure a fresh new thrill each time your cat smells the herb.
Grow your own catnip.Catnip is easy to grow. Plant the seeds in spring about one-fourth inch or less deep in the soil, 18 to 24 inches apart. Catnip plants love sunlight and do well in just about any regular soil. By mid-summer, the catnip plants will be in full-bloom and ready for harvesting.
Harvest catnip leaves (the part your cat likes best) when they are dry and fully grown. Allow them to dry out in the sun and do not expose them to cool night air. Keep the dried leaves in dry places so that they keep as much of their fragrance as possible. The stronger the smell, the more fun for your cat.
If you lack a green thumb, plenty of grow-your-own-catnip kits are available to help you.
In fact, the potency of catnip varies. You may find that your cat reacts differently to your home-grown catnip vs. store-bought catnip.
Spray your catnip.Catnip oil sprays derived from the plant provide another way for cats to enjoy their favorite herb. Spray it on a plain toy or favorite scratching post to renew your cat's interest in them. You can spray a little on you too if you're outside during the summer — catnip oil can be a natural mosquito repellant.
Try catnip buds.Treat your cat to a more intense catnip thrill with catnip buds. Catnip buds are the small white and/or purple flower blossoms on the catnip plant that are even more potent than the leaves.
Visit your local pet store or browse online to see what catnip-infused toys they offer. Keep any or all of these catnip varieties nearby and you and your cat will have plenty of entertainment!Laura Lee Bloor is CAT FANCY's assistant web editor for CatChannel.com.

I've never tried growing my own catnip. But my 9 cat's sure do love it! I've never really understood what it is about catnip that drives cats crazy?
Ana Urbandale, IA
I LOVE GROWING CATNIP!! It's my favorite plant! Thanks CatChannel!
Ruthann Crossville, TN
We have 8 cats and there is one of them that will go out of his way to find the plant I have growing in our sunroom. I pick off the growing tips for them. This serves two purposes. First of all they get their fresh catnip and second it causes the plant to branch more, producing more fresh tips. I have to keep it put up high, so they can't reach it by themselves, or they would eat it until it was totally destroyed.

The tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta is an important model for insect physiology but genomic and transcriptomic data are currently lacking. Following a recent pyrosequencing study generating immune related expressed sequence tags (ESTs), here we use this new technology to define the M. sexta larval midgut transcriptome. We generated over 387 000 midgut ESTs, using a combination of Sanger and 454 sequencing, and classified predicted proteins into those involved in digestion, detoxification and immunity. In many cases the depth of 454 pyrosequencing coverage allowed us to define the entire cDNA sequence of a particular gene. Many new M. sexta genes are described including up to 36 new cytochrome P450s, some of which have been implicated in the metabolism of host plant-derived nicotine. New lepidopteran gene families such as the β-fructofuranosidases, previously thought to be restricted to Bombyx mori, are also described. An unexpectedly high number of ESTs were involved in immunity, for example 39 contigs encoding serpins, and the increasingly appreciated role of the midgut in insect immunity is discussed. Similar studies of other tissues will allow for a tissue by tissue description of the M. sexta transcriptome and will form an essential complimentary step on the road to genome sequencing and annotation.

The Government negotiated a controversial deal with SkyCity
Entertainment Group to fund the $400 million Auckland
national convention centre in return for concessions
including more poker machines, gaming tables and a licence
However, when asked yesterday if he had any appetite to get
involved in a deal with SkyCity for Queenstown, Mr Key
replied: ''I don't think so, no.''
The Queenstown Lakes District Council, leading progress on a
proposed $50 million Queenstown centre, named SkyCity as its
preferred operator a year ago.
If SkyCity was involved - and wanted a casino operation as
part of the centre precinct - it would require the Government
to change the law and enable SkyCity to transfer one or both
of its downtown Queenstown casino licences.
Mr Key said the council - which has asked the Government for
a $20 million centre contribution - was obviously keen to
develop a centre and the Government had ''tacitly given an
indication it's prepared to put in cash''.
''The issue is, is it enough? The answer is 'no' on current
funding proposals but nor are we necessarily looking to put
in a lot more.''
Asked if in discussions council chief executive Adam Feeley
had intimated the council was stuck and needed help, Mr Key
replied: ''I think they haven't actually finalised every bit
of that but council by end of March or middle next month will
be in a better position to talk about what the shortfall
looks like and what are the options available for them to
fill that hole.''
Earlier, Mr Key told a Queenstown Chamber of Commerce
luncheon that people wanted to come to the Wakatipu for
conferences but it did not have the capacity needed.
''Just as in Auckland where we found a way through that,
we're going to have to do that in Queenstown. It's not
straightforward and not easy, and I'm not going to say we
have a solution today but we have to find a way to allow your
council to get a convention centre up and running.''
Mr Feeley has previously described SkyCity involvement as a
''silver bullet'' in terms of negating financial risk for
ratepayers, but a recent council agenda item also noted
SkyCity's interest or commitment to be involved as

"Shiraz" Top 5 Page for this destination Shiraz by iwys
Shiraz Travel Guide: 233 reviews and 648 photos
Shiraz was the eighteenth century capital of Persia. It is a city of parks and gardens, and it nestles between the mountains, in a valley full of orange groves and vineyards.
This is the home of the famous Shiraz grape. Unfortunately, since the Islamic Revolution, wine production has ceased and the vineyards have largely been abandoned.
Shiraz has always been famous for its scholars and it is an important university city today. It is also renowned for its arts and crafts. It was the home of the greatest Persian poets, Hafez and Sa'di.
Shiraz's eighteenth century Vakil Bazaar is a very colourful place, where you can see traditional craftsmen at work.

A small, shitty town of pussies in central New Jersey that nobody has heard of, nor cares about. It has a grand total of one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. The high school has a grand total of 800 kids that can never mind their own business and crave drama to fuel their lives. They do nothing but complain about how "shitty" their lives are, while in reality they haven't had to face the real world yet and have nothing to complain about. People make empty threats and use facebook to bully others and harass them because they're too pussy to do it in person and have to hide behind a screen to make them feel comfortable with themselves. The most fun you can have in this town is going to the Hamilton Marketplace or Marrazzos, but even then its not fun and you have to go out of town to do fun things. There's no good parties thrown, you could probably have more fun at church than at a Robbinsville party.A typical girl from Robbinsville is one with a spray tan, fake nails, hair extensions. Half the girls think they're badass and mix themselves with Hamiltrash, and half of them are goody goody that have never taken a sip of alcohol in their lives. People are nice to your face but then when they're with their friends they treat you like shit, and everybody thinks that they're all that. Welcome to Robbinsville.
oh, she's probably from Robbinsville.

A place in NJ that nobody has heard of. Black people act white and white people act black, the sports suck, no one has fun, your a badass if you ding song ditch someone and a super bad-ass if you have a sip of alcohol. You'd think it wouldn't be like this considering its so close to Trenton.
Robbinsville is dumb
by THeeee October 17, 2013
Hell. You can get suspended by calling someone stupid OUTSIDE of school. In fact i could probably get suspended for this. The place is so unknown the geese here are probably more famous and there 2 x as many geese as there are humans. The fights are more like kidding around bu very exaggerated. People call people from Hamilton Hamiltrash but I think "Villagers" should be known as "Robbinshit". And thats all i have to say about that
Robbinsville is very dumb.

A town located in Mercer County, NJ that is the home of LeBron James and where your mom kills badgers.

A: Oh, she went to Robbinsville.
A: Oh, she went to Robbinsville.

The most inbred area of planet earth next to Nantahala, NC. Cousins, brothers, sisters, mothers, and fathers are all fair game if you live in this town or attend the School designated for the residents of this area.
1:"Man, we have to play Robbinsville today."
2:"That sucks bad."
1:"They are all fugly as hell."
2:"No shit."

I've recently started using a free javascript library called "NVD3.js" to build "interactive visualizations" for our commercial web applications. I'm thinking of applying it to our public web sites as well but haven't started, yet.
I was wondering if anyone is using NVD3.js to generate visualizations for their own public web sites.
If so what are the benefits in using NVD3.
Can anyone suggest me some sites that use NVD3 so I can look into it myself.
Note: I posted this question in stackoverflow.com and they suggested me this site. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15089211/sites-using-nvd3-js-for-visualizations#comment21228140_15089211
