June 24 News: Houston To Become 'The Alternative Energy Capital Of The World'?
Houston, Texas just agreed to buy $2 million worth of renewable energy, which will feed into the city for the next two years. [Houston Business Journal]
The City of Houston said it agreed to pay $2 million for two years worth of renewable power from Houston-based Reliant Energy Inc.
That's more than 140 megawatts of renewable power — or about half of the city's annual electricity demand, which will feed into the city from July 1 to June 30, 2013, according to a June 20 statement. The buy has the capacity to power more than 55,000 homes in Houston per year.
"Houston is already known as the energy capital of the world, but we are committed to becoming the alternative energy capital of the world as well," Houston Mayor Annise Parker said in the statement.
The deal makes Houston the largest municipal renewable power buyer in the country, according to the statement.

A cheaper drive to 'cool' fuels
Researchers at the University of Delaware are developing an inexpensive catalyst to drive the production of synthetic fuel that could one day replace liquid fossil fuels.
If carbon dioxide emissions become taxed in the future due to continuing concerns about global warming, this solar-driven catalyst for making synthetic fuel will compete even better economically with fossil fuels.
Houston has always been more progressive than Dallas, and a good place for music and art, too. Sane, in other words.
Dallas residents will be driving big trucks when gas is $12 a gallon, and they won't stop building their big 2×6 mansions, either. Let's hope we can put enough pressure on the oil industry to wake them up.
A Looming Climate Shift: Will Ocean Heat Come Back to Haunt us? http://www.skepticalscience.com/A-Looming-Climate-Shift-Will-Ocean-Heat-Come-Back-to-Haunt-us.html
Solar power still better than nuclear in the fight against climate change
I concede I've lost the £100 bet, but it's a folly to put faith in costly reactors to cut emissions http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/blog/2013/jun/24/solar-nuclear-power-climate-change
George Monbiot claims in a gentlemanly article to have won our £100 bet, made three years ago, that solar PV would be at grid parity – the same cost as conventional retail electricity – by 2013.
Just to clarify. The 140MW of power is for use by the City's governmental buildings. The City's populace uses many times this amount of power and it is variously sourced.
Here is a surprising finding: cleaner air linked to stronger hurricanes. If that turns out to be true reducing coal burning could produce stronger storms. I guess you can't win.
The headline about the irradiated trees around Chernobyl should probably say "the radioactive particles (isotopes)" would be released into the atmosphere.
Poor people first and poverty eradication are important strategies for addressing climate change and would likely be a major way to limit population growth rates.
The renewable energy rollback that wasn't
ALEC's attempt to squash clean energy standards in the states has failed, http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2013/06/24/stateline-renewable-energy/2452093/
Reliant energy does not have it's own solar or wind. They purchase wind power from two companies and purchase solar energy renewable certificates. In their portfolio of renewables are landfill methane and coal refuse from Pennsylvania!
How Tv News Gets All the Eye-Gluing Benefits of Climate Change without Having to Deal with It
Terms like "extreme weather" or "severe weather" convey destruction without any sense of responsibility.
"Canada's insurance lobby says Albertans are less likely to be worried about weather trends linked to climate change than others in the country, despite a recent six-fold increase in insured damages from severe storms, fires and flooding.
But as property and casualty carriers respond by hiking premiums up to 25 per cent this year, the Insurance Bureau of Canada says the province and its municipalities need to get serious about mitigating losses in Alberta that have mounted to an average of $670 million annually in the past four years compared to an average of $100 million annually in the previous 15 years.
"Alberta has become the place where bad weather pays a visit more often," said Don Forgeron, IBC's president and chief executive.
"We could simply raise premiums, walk away and be quiet, but we think there is another way."
Polling done this month for IBC found 91 per cent of Canadians have noticed a change in weather patterns over the past decade, but only 80 per cent of Albertans had spotted a trend.
The numbers also showed residents of the province were less likely than others in the country to be concerned about the changes that have made Albertans the worst hit by natural catastrophes.
According to the poll, residents were also more likely than other Canadians to make the mistake of naming Ontario instead of their home province as the largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions that have been linked to climate change."

"The world changed (last) Thursday morning "
We haven't hit the global warming pause button
Recent articles about a global warming 'pause' miss that the planet as a whole is still rapidly warming http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2013/jun/24/global-warming-pause-button
The quoted numbers don't make sense. Maybe it was $2billion not million? So typical of energy journalism, that the journalists are numerically clueless, and the message hopelessly garbled.
At this rate we are going to see big cities in perpetual states of emergency as extreme events roll by every 2-5yrs. Its starting to happen now….
This cant continue for long with out countries being forced in declaring nation wide states of emergencies.
It will be a slippery slope of coping with the current disruption and trying to rebuild to adapt to increasingly accelerating chaotic conditions.
I suspect the argument and action to tax fossil fuels will become esoteric and governments or powers will either declare their use illegal or rouge states/ enclaves will just keep on using them.
The global economy will be crushed and so at least the level of consumption will be down.
"They're calling 2013 the "most destructive wildfire season in Colorado history." The last wildfire season they described that way? That would be last year's wildfire season—the 2012 wildfire season—when 600 homes and countless acres in Colorado burned."
That's really good news….
My bet, next year alberta will suffer billions of dollars in damage from record drought, heat, and fires. this is getting easier to figure out, just like the american midwest floods and droughts in recent years.
The rollback is having more success in Australia, which shows all the signs of sinking to the very bottom of the global intelligence hierarchy.
RE: By 2100, Earth will host 10.9 billion people, growing at 10 million a year. [Yale 360]
Robert Englelman uses numbers and birth rate and life expectancy data to make points that are so out of synch with reality. Though it is an interesting read.
I found a comment to his piece so well written, I offer it here and second Mr. Rabbitt's point of view
"If "No end to global population growth is in sight," the claims of "resource scarcity", a lack of a "sustainable population", and "overpopulation" seem logically impossible. A population does not continue to grow if it cannot support itself. It sounds as if the author is trying to argue "something which only happen if something bad does not occur is actually happening therefore the bad thing which could not occur is actually happening." This logic is quite fallacious."
Posted by Brian P. Rabbit on 24 Jun 2013
Global clean energy investment hit a record $260 billion in 2011. That's five times as much as 2004. The shift to clean energy is already happening. http://clmtr.lt/cb/tPG0AU
The 'growth' mentality of neo-capitalist metastases is a perfect example of 'magical thinking' in action.

Hello :)
So I want to ask you for some much more user-frienly interface in gallery previewing process. So now my previewing page looks like http://rudevich.com/2010/05/ninth/ , and I want that page to look like http://www.newmediacampaigns.com/files/posts/jcaption/index.html (captions are sliding over images). So I think I can do this by myself but better when the plugin developer will do this :)
Thanks :)

The Boy Scouts Are In A Really Hateful Bind
They're still clinging to their long-rehearsed routine of selective hate, even though the country has been significantly moving beyond that.
"So the Boy Scouts are in a pickle. They've spent all these years saddling up to hateful far right bigots, and now that America has moved beyond hateful far-right bigotry, the Boy Scouts are afraid of losing their hateful bigoted base.
"Ironically, the Republican party is facing the same predicament, after having spent far too many years sucking up to its own Frankenstein of hate--actually, nearly the exact same Frankenstein of hate--as the Boy Scouts. And now that America's moved on, the Republicans are losing elections and the Boy Scouts donors, and boys.
Upcoming Events
"According to AP, the public is over the whole 'Boy Scouts vs. the Gays' thing, and the gays won..."
Rather than risk obsolescence, the Scouts will surely end up flip flopping and that'll be grand, though it will hardly make up for their decades of intolerance and spite.
Be prepared..for a lot of rage and frustration from this end until they make the change.

Who We Are
Founded in 2011, Fear 2 Freedom (F2F) is a 501(c)3 global non-profit with a twofold mission to redeem and restore those wounded by sexual assault, bringing them hope and healing, and to change the cultural understanding surrounding this issue by empowering college students to "Be the Change" and "Restore the Joy".
The number "2" in our name represents the fact that, every two minutes, someone is sexually assaulted in America.
What We Do
Through our University Campaign, we partner hospitals and community organizations with universities to provide F2F Kits for victims of sexual assault, child abuse, domestic violence and sex trafficking. At "Celebration Events" on college campuses across the country, students and volunteers join F2F to gain education, awareness and empowerment as they assemble F2F Kits and become a tangible part of the solution.
Why We Matter
1 in 6 women and 1 in 33 men in America will be a victim of sexual assault.
When a victim of sexual assault goes to the hospital for treatment, or the PERK (Physical Evidence Recovery Kit) exam, all of their clothes have to be kept for evidence. This means women, men and children are leaving our hospitals across America in paper scrubs at a time of greatest trauma. Our F2F Kits are a "gift of hope" to these survivors, preserving their dignity by providing their most basic needs.
1 in 5 women have been sexually assaulted during their time in college.
We are empowering college students to by a tangible part of the solution through our University Campaign. Together we can "Be the Change" and "Restore the Joy."

There's a YouTube video doing the rounds at the moment. In fact it's gone viral (again?); even though the words were spoken in 2010. Why is that ? Because a Jewish woman has said things which some people – including myself – have a problem with. However, I don't have a problem with what she said because she's Jewish. I have a problem with what she said. And I wouldn't spread it around the Internet because she's Jewish. I'd spread it around because of what she said. (Actually, I still wouldn't spread it around because I'd never previously heard of her.)
In the end, the Jew-hater will be left believing exactly what he believed in the first place. So this piece is utterly pointless as far as he's concerned. In fact all these conspiracy theories about the Jews, as I said earlier, are blatantly unfalsifiable: literally nothing can work against them. They are believed as a matter of faith. Or, as Adolf Hitler once put it, Jew-haters "think with the blood". In other words, they don't really think at all. They feel.

Poem Title:
I Now it is autumn and the falling fruit and the long journey towards oblivion. The apples falling like great drops of dew to bruise themselves an exit from themselves. And it is time to go, to bid farewell to one's own self, and find an exit from the fallen self. II Have you built your ship of death, O have you? O build your ship of death, for you will need it. The grim frost is at hand, when the apples will fall thick, almost thundrous, on the hardened earth. And death is on the air like a smell of ashes! Ah! can't you smell it? And in the bruised body, the frightened soul finds itself shrinking, wincing from the cold that blows upon it through the orifices. III And can a man his own quietus make with a bare bodkin? With daggers, bodkins, bullets, man can make a bruise or break of exit for his life; but is that a quietus, O tell me, is it quietus? Surely not so! for how could murder, even self-murder ever a quietus make? IV O let us talk of quiet that we know, that we can know, the deep and lovely quiet of a strong heart at peace! How can we this, our own quietus, make? V Build then the ship of death, for you must take the longest journey, to oblivion. And die the death, the long and painful death that lies between the old self and the new. Already our bodies are fallen, bruised, badly bruised, already our souls are oozing through the exit of the cruel bruise. Already the dark and endless ocean of the end is washing in through the breaches of our wounds, Already the flood is upon us. Oh build your ship of death, your little ark and furnish it with food, with little cakes, and wine for the dark flight down oblivion. VI Piecemeal the body dies, and the timid soul has her footing washed away, as the dark flood rises. We are dying, we are dying, we are all of us dying and nothing will stay the death-flood rising within us and soon it will rise on the world, on the outside world. We are dying, we are dying, piecemeal our bodies are dying and our strength leaves us, and our soul cowers naked in the dark rain over the flood, cowering in the last branches of the tree of our life. VII We are dying, we are dying, so all we can do is now to be willing to die, and to build the ship of death to carry the soul on the longest journey. A little ship, with oars and food and little dishes, and all accoutrements fitting and ready for the departing soul. Now launch the small ship, now as the body dies and life departs, launch out, the fragile soul in the fragile ship of courage, the ark of faith with its store of food and little cooking pans and change of clothes, upon the flood's black waste upon the waters of the end upon the sea of death, where still we sail darkly, for we cannot steer, and have no port. There is no port, there is nowhere to go only the deepening blackness darkening still blacker upon the soundless, ungurgling flood darkness at one with darkness, up and down and sideways utterly dark, so there is no direction any more and the little ship is there; yet she is gone. She is not seen, for there is nothing to see her by. She is gone! gone! and yet somewhere she is there. Nowhere! VIII And everything is gone, the body is gone completely under, gone, entirely gone. The upper darkness is heavy as the lower, between them the little ship is gone It is the end, it is oblivion. IX And yet out of eternity a thread separates itself on the blackness, a horizontal thread that fumes a little with pallor upon the dark. Is it illusion? or does the pallor fume A little higher? Ah wait, wait, for there's the dawn the cruel dawn of coming back to life out of oblivion Wait, wait, the little ship drifting, beneath the deathly ashy grey of a flood-dawn. Wait, wait! even so, a flush of yellow and strangely, O chilled wan soul, a flush of rose. A flush of rose, and the whole thing starts again. X The flood subsides, and the body, like a worn sea-shell emerges strange and lovely. And the little ship wings home, faltering and lapsing on the pink flood, and the frail soul steps out, into the house again filling the heart with peace. Swings the heart renewed with peace even of oblivion. Oh build your ship of death. Oh build it! for you will need it. For the voyage of oblivion awaits you.

Ok this is what I'm trying to do : use timthumb.php with external images and remove the query string "?" after goggling a little i've found a way using .htaccess, here is my code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^cdn-thumb/(.*)$ thumb/timthumb.php?$1 [L]
basically this code replaces the part thumb/timthumb.php?src= with cdn-thumb/src= and it works fine if the image is hosted on my website and I point to it using the relative path ex : wp-content/uploads/123.jpg but when i try using it with a image hosted elsewhere (other domain) it breaks giving 404 error because it removes a slash from http://
i get only
so any clue how to fix this ? or alternative solutions ?

Starting from May 2012, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data collected by the National Survey of Finland has been released for free use. The data can be utilised in various GIS (Geographic Information System) software. The level of details is incredible: height data is accurate within ±15 centimeters or less. This means all man made structures from trenches to walls and buildings can be mapped from this data.
The data is available for download for much of Finland from the National Survey's file service. Here's couple of interesting images to illustrate the use of the data. If you are interested on a particular region, I would be glad to provide similar illustrations using the software I have installed on my computer.

Stifel Buys Stone & Youngberg to Expand Muni Banking Reach
Stifel Financial Corp., a St. Louis-based brokerage that has quintupled revenue since 2005 with nine acquisitions, said it bought Stone & Youngberg LLC, California's fourth-biggest municipal-bond underwriter.
The latest deal, whose terms weren't disclosed in a statement today, will boost Stifel's public-finance banking business in the western U.S. Stone & Youngberg, based in San Francisco, has managed $2.3 billion in bond sales by issuers in California this year, ranking fourth overall in the state, according to Bloomberg data.
"Stone & Youngberg fits very well with our overall strategy of creating the premier middle-market investment bank," Ronald Kruszewski, Stifel's chairman and chief executive officer, said in the statement. Stone & Youngberg had revenue of about $100 million in 2010 and the combined company will have about 100 public-finance professionals, according to Stifel.
Stifel is expanding its municipal-bond business even as new issues this year have declined about 50 percent from the same period in 2010. For the first six months, 2011 issuance has averaged $4 billion a week, the lowest rate since at least 2003. Tepid demand from individual investors has coupled with budget deficits to curb borrowing by state and local governments.
U.S. states and municipalities issued about $121 billion of bonds last week compared with $216.6 billion in the same period a year earlier, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Last year, Stifel and San Francisco-based Stone & Youngberg managed more than 500 municipal bond issues, raising more than $8.5 billion, according to the Stifel statement.
Stifel will use the Stone & Youngberg brand in the markets the San Francisco broker currently serves, Stifel indicated. The companies plan to complete the acquisition, which is subject to regulatory approval, by Oct. 1.

One of the country's top high-performance computing labs is turning to private industry to license a powerful network analysis tool it developed.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is offering companies the opportunity to collaborate on its Network Mapping System (NeMS) with the potential to license intellectual property rights, develop pilot programs and commercialize the system, according to a notice posted on FedBizOpps on Nov. 25.
Cloud computing, virtualization, and the growing use of wireless and mobile devices are making networks more complex and creating bigger targets for electronic threats. The risks to increasingly vulnerable IT operations have spurred heavy investment in security staff and technologies to identify, analyze and protect computing infrastructures. Officials at Lawrence Livermore say network mapping can give IT managers more specific information to help them monitor and protect networks.
Celeste Matarazzo, a cybersecurity researcher at the lab's Center for Applied Scientific Computing, told FCW that the Department of Homeland Security has been seeking backing for the tool from technology companies and financial institutions. DHS is using NeMS for its Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program for fortifying computer networks and systems.
NeMS will be one of the emerging technologies spotlighted during the DHS Cyber Security Division's Transition to Practice for Investors, Integrators and IT Companies event in Washington on Dec. 18.
Matarazzo said NeMS can help users gain insight into their networks without extensive preparation and without compromising the security of a mapped network. It is a software-based network characterization and discovery tool that constructs visual representations of networks based on observed behavior. It uses active mapping, passive network traffic analysis and host discovery techniques to characterize the network environment.
Previously known as Net Mapper, NeMS harnesses Lawrence Livermore's Everest visualization system to analyze networks. NeMS and Everest can be used separately for specific applications, but when strapped together, they can provide continuing network situational awareness, lab officials say.
One of NeMS' strengths is a flexible architecture that allows deployment in a wide variety of customer-specific applications, Matarazzo said. NeMS was developed in the lab's high-performance computing environment, but it is scalable to work in almost any environment.
"It can be dialed from 0 to 11, depending on the user's needs," she said.

Product Description
Corbeau 3-Point Harness Bolt-In Retractable Seatbelt.Corbeau 2-inch retractable harness seatbelts are a result of Corbeau?s dedication to innovation and style. This harness belt features an inertia reel, which allows your harness belt to function like your stock belt. That means you can still move around but it will lock under sudden movement or jolt. In addition, the retractable harness seatbelt has the double release feature, which allows you to disconnect the front shoulder straps from the rear tail strap. This feature allows for easy access to the rear seat as you can disconnect that rear strap without taking the belts out. Corbeau harness seatbelts can be bolted to your factory provided mounting points. Corbeau hardware was manufactured to bolt right up to your factory bolt holes. In most cases no drilling or modifications are necessary, they just bolt right in.
2-Inch Webbing: Military grade nylon webbing with custom "Corbeau Racing" embroidery.
Release Buckle: Push button release buckle for easy disengagement.
Inertia Reel: Allows the harness belt to retract like a stock belt. Sudden movement or jolt will cause the belt to lock.
On-Off Switch: Allows you to control when you want the belt to retract and when you want it to function as a full time harness belt.
Bolt-In: End of the straps are equipped with a bolt, which will bolt to your mounting points.
Waist Pad: All 2-inch belts are equipped with a pressure reducing waist pad to provide extra comfort and support.

Product Questions
Is there anything here that works with a convertible? I want a harness but i have a vert
Depending on what year you have we do have some three point harnesses that will work.
Date published: 2016-06-15
Will these work in a 68 mustang coupe? would the mounting point for the retractable be on the rear parcel tray?
This is a universal seat belt. You would have to reinforce the package tray for it to work in that location.
Date published: 2016-06-08
Can I install this on a 1997 mustang convertible
I don't believe this will work in a convertible.
Date published: 2015-12-15
when installing this harness do you need to disconnect the seat belt chime or will these attach so as if the stock seat belt is connected
These seat belts will not connect to your stock belt so the seat belt chime will go off.
Date published: 2015-11-12
Will this work with a 1991 5.0 convertible?
It should - it'll just bolt to the factory mounting points.
Date published: 2015-09-22
I want to install these in the rear seats of a 66 stang for my children. Does a harness bar need to be installed or can the retractable portion of the belt be run up the back of the seat (in front of the package tray) and over the top of the seat? thanks
You can install this without a harness bar.
Date published: 2015-08-20
If I purchase the harness bar for a 1994 GT, is there a harness that does not use the seat belt buckle location by the center console? Bolt broke off trying to avoid drilling and tapping or welding a new bolt reinforcement. Thank you
I think that, no matter what, you're going to be stuck fixing that - every 3-point, 4-point and 5-point seat belt uses that location to attach.
Date published: 2015-07-22
I have a 2013 laguna seca with the recaro seats i'm looking to purchase at least 3 point belting without drilling or adding roll bar,i like the three point retractable, will it work for me
Yes, these attach to your factory seat belt mounting points.

Krauthammer Embraces Conspiracy Theory That Obama Blackmailed Petraeus On Libya Testimony
David Petraeus' resignation last week set off a torrid of conspiracy theories in conservative circles, namely, that Petraeus resigned after he was blackmailed by the Obama administration into giving acceptable testimony on the Benghazi attack. Last night, conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer embraced that theory and took it a step further, saying the Obama administration "lowered" a sword on Petraeus on election day.
"Was he influenced by the fact that he knew his fate was held by people in the administration at that time?" Krauthammer wonders. But moments later, he answers his own question:
KRAUTHAMMER: Of course it was being held over Petraeus's head, and the sword was lowered on Election Day. You don't have to be a cynic to see that as the ultimate in cynicism. As long as they needed him to give the administration line to quote Bill, everybody was silent. And as soon as the election's over, as soon as he can be dispensed with, the sword drops and he's destroyed. I mean, can you imagine what it's like to be on that pressure and to think it didn't distort or at least in some way unconsciously influence his testimony? That's hard to believe.
Watch the clip:
A number of conservatives have been advancing similar theories. Fox News' Eric Bolling said, "They knew it was a terrorist attack. But why would Gen. Petraeus do it? Was there something being held over his head where they said 'Hey General, go out there and say video because otherwise we are going to blow this thing wide open.' That's one theory." Chaffetz told Fox News' Sean Hannity "It's not a coincidence to me. He is probably the one that knows most about what happened or didn't happen in Benghazi."
Today's news that Petraeus will indeed testify to a congressional committee on the Benghazi attack renders Krauthammer's and others' theories moot.

If you have troubles since the update to WordPress 4.5 please read this post before opening a new thread.
So I have a menu with four links and they have drop down links too. When you rollover the drop menu is cropped or cut off because the menu is too close to the right on the IPAD. Is there a way to position the menu, maybe under logo left? Or how could I resolve this another way?
hm, probably the easiest way for you would be to add a rule that re positions or modifies the menu to your likings in the css/laout.css file
if you position it between the media query in line 2041 only the tablet size will be affected:
@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 959px) {

The hugely popular writer of such titles as âGotham Centralâ and Queen & Country,â Greg Rucka talks to CBR TV about his newest projects for DC Comics, âAction Comicsâ â not starring Superman -- and âDetective Comicsâ -- starring Batwoman!
In this exclusive on-camera interview filmed at New York Comic Con, Rucka discusses with CBR Executive Producer Jonah Weiland why itâs taken two years for Batwomanâs series to be announced, as well as her controversial life in the mainstream press. Rucka also touches on his work in âAction Comics,â and his initial incredulousness when asked to write the title without Superman as its star. And as a treat for longtime Rucka fans, the author teases the next of his acclaimed Atticus Kodiak books, âWalking Dead,â saying it is likely the last novel of the series.

Kind of "global" HANDLER-BIND? Hi Dmitri, Ah, right. I don't know of any /portable/ way to define a global HANDLER-BIND for a particular condition as you suggest. In SBCL, you'd have to hack src/code/toplevel.lisp. To work around this, instead of working in the REPL directly, I usually have a global entry point to the server, and have the global HANDLER-BIND be one of the first few forms, something like this: (defun server () (handler-bind (error ...) server-body ...)) SERVER-BODY manages the fd-handlers (ensuring no active fd-handler on exit etc.) and calls SERVE-EVENT. Would this approach be unsatisfactory? Do you need to work in the REPL? (When working in the REPL directly, I find the fd conditions more reminder than irritant.) Cheers, --Tony

Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) - All Nuclear Waste Locations (Waste Management Trophy/Achievement Guide) - YouTube
Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) - All Nuclear Waste Locations (Waste Management Trophy/Achievement Guide) - YouTube
Here is a collectible map for the Nuclear Waste.
Please click on the image below to be taken to the full-sized map in 8192 x 8192 resolution!
The numbers on the map match up with the video. All of the nuclear waste is in the ocean. The first one is in the north-western part of the map, near the sonar docks.
These collectibles are
required for 100% Completion, but are required for the Waste Management achievement.
There are a total of 30 Nuclear Waste collectibles in GTA V. To collect them you need to buy the Sonar Collections Dock with any character. This property can be bought after completing the main story mission "The Merryweather Heist". The dock costs $250,000. You need to pick up the waste with the submarine, which always spawns at the dock.
Pretty much all of the Nuclear Waste is at the bottom of the ocean. Buying the docks will also give you a new app called "Trackify", which starts automatically when entering the submarine and provides a radar that points to the next collectible. The order in this video matches with the order of the Trackify app.
However, the app won't mark any of the waste on your in-game world map. Sometimes a piece of waste is miles away on a different part of the coast. The submarine is also very slow. If you collect everything in one run it will take about 2 hours.
On the bright side, getting all this stuff will help you uncover the ocean map further (required for
San Andreas Sightseer
) and you will get a lot of money ($32,000 per piece of Nuclear Waste you find and a $250,000 bonus after finding the last one).

Live long… Laugh often… Love always.
Since I stopped using toxic dryer sheets a few years back I have had them sitting in their box in my basement collecting dust. I heard a rumor that you could use dryer sheets to remove dried bugs from your car. I thought that sounds like a good thing to test out so I put on a rubber glove, grabbed one dryer sheet out of the box and went outside.
After driving around all summer long, collecting bugs, letting them bake on, my car looked like this.
After wetting the front of the car with the hose, rubbing one dryer sheet over the front of my car, headlights and grill with very little effort, it looked like this. (I guess they don't remove the scuffs you get when your son runs into your car with a big wheel.)
So if you are like me and don't use dryer sheets in your dryer because you refuse to put dangerous chemicals and hormone disrupting fragrances on your clean clothes, you can bring those extra dryer sheets to the garage as a very simple and effective bug remover.
Quick tie your shoes it is time to go to school! Why are your shoes always untied when you get off the bus? Did you walk around school with your laces dragging all day?
Untied shoes can be dangerous, there is no support in a pair of athletic shoes if they are constantly untied. Kids dont want to stop and tie their shoes when the are playing a game or running with their friends at recess, I remember bully kids trying to step on untied laces to trip kids when we were kids. I was so tired of seeing my daughter walk off the bus with one shoe untied and thinking how unsafe that is that I decided to fix it for good.
Sure you can buy elastic or no tie laces online for 9-15 dollars but you can fix them yourself for less than $2.
1. Go to a craft or sewing store and pick up some 1/4 inch braided elastic, I bought mine at Walmart and it was under $2 for 3 yards. I can do at least 3 pairs of shoes with this.
2. Pull out the old shoe laces, throw those germ infested things away. (They have been dragged around the gross school bathroom floor and all kinds of kid cooties that live on school floors!)
3. Use a handwork knitting needle (also available at a craft store) to thread the elastic through the holes. If you don't have this, you can use clear tape to form a point or temporary aglet.
4. Lace up both sides of the shoes, make sure the elastic is not twisted, I prefer to go over the sides of the shoes and have the elastic end on the underside of the shoe.
5. Using a needle and thread sew the ends of the elastic so they are folded one on top of the other, I sewed all the way to the end where I trimmed the excess off. I wanted to hide the unfinished edge under the bottom edges of the shoes.
6. Trim off the excess elastic.
7. Finish the other shoe- your done!
Your child wont come home from school with untied shoes, they wont have to stop playing a game to tie their shoes, and they won't have another kid step on their untied laces, trip, fall and get hurt. It took me about 5 minutes to do this project, I am already excited for the saved time each morning waiting for my kid to tie her shoes!
p.s. For those of you worried I am handicapping my child by giving her elastic laces, I taught her to tie her shoes, she can do it. I am not worried about her going to college without the ability to tie her shoes.
I am going to talk about something nobody ever talks about, periods. We can talk about babies, deliveries, but periods are taboo. Yes, I am going there!
One day while surfing online I was trying to find cheap tampons, I ran across a thing called a menstrual cup. After reading user reviews watching a few Youtube videos, I quickly ordered a Diva Cup. I have used it for a few months now and I LOVE it!!!!
Even with heavy periods, if you use a menstrual cup, you can sleep all night long with no leaks. I no longer have to worry about bringing a stash of tampons with me wherever I go.
I also liked the green aspect of the menstrual cup. With a menstrual cup, I have no waste! None! Not even a panty liner!
Let me tell you about a menstrual cup. It is a silicone cup that holds your menstrual blood. You remove it, empty the liquid into the toilet. You only need to empty a menstrual cup 2-3 times per day, you can leave it in up to 12 hours so most people don't need to worry about it at all during work. It has a little stem, you insert it, give it a spin to make a form suction and it stays in place with no leaks.
To get it out, you bear down, you grab the little stem and ridged base, pinch the silicone to break the suction, pull it out and dump the contents into the toilet, rinse it out with water and reinsert it.
I had never heard of one of these and I have to tell the world that it is soooooooo much better than tampons!!! Sure it costs about $30 bucks to start out but you will never have to run to the store for tampons, pads and panty liners each month. I realized I would spend about $8-10 bucks each month for menstrual supplies, the last two months I did not spend a dime.
I put my menstrual cup in a cute little zipped bag, I also carry around a little squeeze bottle filled with water for public bathrooms and that is it. No more panty liners, or tampons taking up my purse.
You can swim, exercise, run, dance, and there are no leaks. You don't have to worry about toxic shock, leaking tampons, or wearing a sweaty pad. I hope I never have to go back.
Many people have said to me you never stay home do you? I will answer them not really, I am the anti-stay at home, stay at home mom. I love bringing my kids many different places and letting them experience life.
-Don't just read about doing things or watch them on tv, actually do things!!!
-Teach your children about life by giving them life experiences.
-Teach your children when to feel safe and when to feel leery of others by being around many different people.
-Teach your children how to solve problems by giving them real life opportunities to practice solving them.
-You can't create life experiences if you never leave the house.
It is a whole lot easier to not leave the house, to not have to plan ahead, pack lunches, pack snacks, pack strollers, bundle up little kids, worry about melt downs, but that does not mean you should take the easy road and stay home.
Your kids will be healthier if you never bring them out of the house and expose them to germs from other sick kids with their sticky, dirty, germy hands touching everything that your kids will touch. How will your childs immune system deal with the onslaught of germs once they reach school age if they have not already had every one of the normal childhood illnesses?
Your kids wont have to experience mean children if you never bring them places where mean children play. How are they going to learn how to defend themselves and when it is important to stand up for themselves and others? There will always be mean kids, mean teenagers and mean adults, give them the life experiences and talk to them about how to deal with mean people and stand up for themselves without being violent.
Your kids won't know how fortunate they are if they dont see poor people. If you never bring them downtown and let them see the homeless people walking out of the shelter or staying warm in the skyways. Let them appreciate their good fortune and see first hand how some people live, teach them kindness and empathy.
Your kids need to see that there are dangerous people in the world that they need to watch out for. Teach them to appreciate that the police and fire departments are here, show them what a burnt down house looks like, point out to them that bad people get caught and get arrested.
Your kids will not learn to stand up for themselves if they don't see you standing up for yourself! If we never leave the house we would not experience that not everyone in the world are honest or rule followers. My children have witnessed me standing up for what I believe is right by me confronting others.
Let your kids experience unfairness when they have been standing in line to go across the lily pads at the pool and a rude kid cuts in front of them. Use that as a learning experience to teach them to stand up for themselves in the future and to say I was here first.
Show your children which people you want them to avoid because they are scary or give you a bad feeling, let them learn to trust their instincts and know that not all people are good. Give your kids opportunities to be around strangers so you can teach them which strangers are not okay to talk to.
Let your kids learn about life by experiencing it first hand, bring your kids in as many places as you can, teach them how to live life around all different kinds of people not just people who you want to associate with. Give them the skills to live through life experiences, and the real world opportunities to practice those skills.
Despite being more work, more time, more germs, more mean kids, more frightening, I bring my kids out to experience the world!
Many people make kabobs on the grill in the summer but not all kabobs are created equal. Just throwing some boring meat and veggies on a stick is just, well, boring. I have seen people brush italian dressing on their kabobs and all I can think of is what a waste of kabobs! I have been marinating my kabobs for years. Try it you will never go back to boring kabobs.
Kabob Marinade:
1 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
2 teaspoons dry parsley flakes
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 -2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
Put all of the ingredients into a glass canning jar and shake until well mixed.
Kabob Ingredients:
1 lb of chicken breasts- cut into 1 inch cubes
1 lb of sirloin beef- cut into 1 inch cubes
2 bell peppers- cut into 2 inch chunks
1 large onion- cut into 2 inch chunks
1 zucchini- cut into 3/4 inch thick slices
1 tray of fresh whole mushrooms cleaned and still whole
20 cherry tomatoes
1 can of pineapple chunks
1 can of canned potatoes
Cut 2 lb of meat chicken or beef (or both) into 1 inch cubes
Cut vegetables such as peppers onions, zucchini into 2 inch pieces
Use whole vegetables like mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, canned pineapple, canned potatoes, whatever you like on your kabobs.
Marinate the cubed meat in a little bit of the marinade.
Marinate the veggies in a little bit of the marinade.
Reserve some marinade for brushing and sprinkling on the grilling meat and veggies.
Most people use kabob sticks to make kabobs but I don't. Are they really kabobs without the stick? Well frankly I don't care. Why don't I like the sticks? First you have to individually create each kabob pretty with the perfect mix of veggies and raw meat. Then meat cooks slower than the veggies, or the veggies are burnt and your chicken is still raw, or the cheesy wooden kabob sticks start on fire, and the meat falls into the coals, or you impale your hand on the sharp metal kabob sticks. It is just too much trouble to use the dumb sticks. This is why I love making my kabobs in grill baskets! Go ahead and skewer them when they are fully cooked to serve them on a stick if you want.
Turn the grill on high and put two grill baskets on the grill to get hot. Place marinated meat in one and marinated veggies in the other. I usually cook the beef separate from the chicken to make sure that the chicken is cooked through. I usually cook the stuff that takes the longest first and then put it in a covered glass container to keep it warm. As the veggies cook I keep drizzling marinade onto them to keep them very moist and flavorful. Serve them hot right from the grill to the patio table and enjoy!

Price Of Risk - Recent Evidence From Large Financials
Probability of default (PD) measures have been widely used in estimating potential losses of, and contagion among, large financial institutions. In a period of financial stress however, the existing methods to compute PDs and generate loss estimates may vary significantly. This paper discusses three issues that should be taken into account in using PD-based methodologies for loss or contagion analyses: (i) the use of "Risk-neutral probabilities" vs. "Real-world probabilities;" (ii) the divergence between movements in credit and equity markets during periods of financial stress; and (iii) the assumption of stochastic vs. fixed recovery for financial institutions' assets.

Hetero Behind the Cockpit Door
posted by February 3 at 8:37 AMon
An investigation has been launched after a video of a topless French air stewardess performing a sexy striptease for the captain while the plane was flying was leaked on to the internet. Despite the plane being in the air - and with several hundred passengers presumably blissfully unaware of what is going on - the sexy cabin attendant removes her bra and lets the captain and co-pilot get hands on.
I would assume that this kind of thing happens all the time—piloting a commercial jet is like being a bus driver on a robot bus. But why people anyone would allow themselves to be filmed in this situation is beyond me.
Oh, no wait, I remember why they do it: They're idiots. All the better for us.
The Daily Mail has more info, and photos with captions like, "holding pattern, in-flight entertainment, and get ready for takeoff.

Despite some "soaking rains" in portions of Jefferson County over the weekend, the burn ban imposed by County Judge Dutch King on July 1o is still in effect.
"The rain was just too sporadic," King said Monday. "I know there are some folks wanting to burn and I wish I could lift the ban, but I talked with the Arkansas Forestry Commission and I'm told if we lift it we'll probably have to put it right back on again. It's supposed to be hot and dry for the next several days. I think I need to wait until the middle of the week before I make any other decision."
As King pointed out, the recent rains didn't blanket the county. While water stood in streets in some areas, the National Weather Service's local reporting station — Grider Field — received only traces of precipitation.
"I would rather be safe than sorry," King said. "Even though we did have some good rain in spots, I don't think it would be right to lift the ban for the whole county. In some areas, things might be too dry and a fire could get out of control fairly quickly. I've seen it happen before."
The county had plenty of rain and cool temperatures during the spring, but a run of hot and dry conditions prompted the judge to implement the ban.
"We don't need to take any chances when it comes to the public's safety and the safety of our firefighters," King said. "It's just not worth it."
The NWS was reporting Monday that the chance of precipitation in Jefferson County through Sunday was 20 percent.
